Then l will prepare myself

for some terrible times ahead.

Stay here in Paris.

You will be a wealthy man.

With your perfume you will

be the darling of the fubar.

That does not tempt you.

l am on a mission.

My poor friend.

l wish you much strength.

Doctor Nostradamus,

so good to see you, sir.

Good to see you, Jacob.

After you sir.

How is doctor Scalinger?

Out with you!

Leave us, please!

How could you publish

such a book!

l had to do it!

You have put us all

in great danger!

Every night l see

the most horrible things.

Murder, rape, genocide,

torture, global catastrophes!

There'll be wars with weapons

we can't even imagine today!

They will come on ships

under the water.

And with unbelievable speed

through the air,...

with fire and gas and vapors

that will destroy everything.

Everything!

And in the end themselves.

Will no one survive.

The 20th century

will be especially terrible.

Wars will spread

over the entire earth.

Evil philosophers will come.

Promising salvation.

Five hundred years?

Hitler, Hitler!

What is Hitler?

l constantly have

this word on my mind.

What is it?

l do not know.

lf people will understand

what l am telling them,...

they change history.

What l see is only

the worst possibility.

The worst will always

come to pass.

Then the world will become

a desolate wasteland.

He is like his father.

Let us hope the devil does

not find him as attractive.

Fortunately your Queen does

not share your stupidity.

Why are you filling up

the well?

Because it is dry.

Can not we dig it out?

We will dig a new one.

Come, come.

l will show you

how to find water.

There's water here,

and it's good too.

Just 4 meters deep. Try it.

You hold the rod like this.

Now a little higher.

That is right.

Hold it loosely

always horizontal.

Think of water.

Now walk, walk.

lt does not work.

Do not do that,

everything gets harder.

Caesar, come into the house.

l am just learning

howto use a diving rod.

At once.

Come with me upstairs.

What are you so angry about?

l do not want our son to play

with the strange forces.

lt would probably kill him.

And what is this?

To my son, Caesar!

Read on.

For he who will come

at the end of the 20th century

When that man,

my spiritual son,...

read the verses correctly,

and finds the key,...

he will understand

the true meaning.

l pray God he will

not misuse the knowledge.

ln 500 years somebody

is going to read that?

-What is this?

-lt is a musk gland.

What are you doing

with that revolting stuff.

l added a tiny drop

of secretion...

...and invented a perfume.

-Why?

The scent is heavy and sensual

What do you think?

Beautiful.

lt is unbelievable.

Such a lovely smell

from that stinking stuff.

And?

And we are going

to sell lots of it.

ls that all?

Yes.

Please, be sensible.

-You can't go now.

-Yes l can.

l won't let you go!

Give me the key.

Another run!

Henry!

What is the matter?

Do not do it!

Please, don't do it!

Why not?

The prophecy remember.

You'll die on the third run.

Clear the way!

Steady! Steady!

The King is dying.

Here! Here he is!

l told you!

ln league with the devil!

Don't wake him now! Please!

lt will kill him!

Please it will kill him!

lt will kill him!

Your books were written

by the devil.

Monsieur de Nostradame.

You are accused of placing

curse on count Montgomery...

to kill Henry

the King of France.

Answer me.

Do you admit your guilt.

You are accused of

the worst of all crimes.

Those against God.

l have seen paradise.

There's a huge army

on the earth,...

and all this destruction...

man...

man will continue.

When we can not survive.

Recant your lies!

Kill him!

The devil is in him!

Silence!

Kill him!

l want a confession! Confess!

How can he confess

when he is not guilty!

The power of this court

of lnquisition...

Diving its power

directly from God.

lt is represented

on this earth.

His holiness the Pope.

Would you care to wager

your life on that convection?

Monmond is over here...

and moon is in Scorpio.

The power of the mind

is very strong.

lts cycles greatly affect us.

And this is the dark

side of Monmond.

ls that true?

Yes, very true.

Monmond has a terrible side.

No, no.

Caesar, come.

l want you to make

me a promise.

That you'll never worry

for your fathers welfare.

No one will harm him

as long as l live.

-Promise me.

-l promise.

What a good boy.

Now let us see

what your father is up too.

This is the moon.

And this is the sun.

l have seen much bloodshed

and catastrophes.

But afterwards the possibility

of a new age of happiness.

There's a future

beyond the earth.

l have seen paradise.

Man will continue,

man can survive.
