Queen Margot Page #2

Like this one.

You still have Guise's pistol?

Im better with a musket.

Maurevel!

Id rather you use Guise's pistol.

I waited last night.

You promised

to say goodbye.

Why say goodbye?

I love you, and Im still here!

You belong to him now.

He'll never be my husband.

And you'll always be my brothers!

Wake up!

He's here.

He's waiting.

Out! Out!

The King told me that

he isn't the cuckold any more!

I never gave you my virginity,

so take my wedding night!

Who took your virginity?

Who?

Your brothers? Which one?

Take me tonight!

You've got a dagger?

Isn't he coming? The wild boar...

Do I look like a bride?

You look uncertain,

unpredictable...

Tonight, love me like never before.

I want to discover your body,

your smell.

I want an endless night.

I want to see the image of my death

amidst my pleasure.

I want my wedding night,

but with you!

Your husband's coming.

He just

left his room.

Don't go!

You knew he'd come!

No! Don't go!

You knew it!

Ill make him leave!

After...

We'll have our longest night.

I guess I avoided Catherine's spies.

They think Im with...

the Italian...

The pretty Baroness.

Go on!

Go see her!

God ordered me

to talk to you,

and only you. I have to...

convince you!

Protestants always mention God!

God...

or instinct.

Whose?

The peasant's!

As your mother calls me.

If I live, Ill be King.

My brother is King!

The other two will succeed him.

And then their children.

Your chances are slim.

Yours are too.

They won't protect you.

You're nothing to them.

You're a hostage for your brothers.

My brothers love me!

They'd sell you out,

- and Catherine...

- Mother loves me!

She'd sell you for nothing!

Mother cherishes me!

She hates you!

And your lover, de Guise...

- He uses you...

- Stop!

For power, and to seduce women.

Why?

Stop it.

Did your God ask you to insult me?

No, Margot, I came to strike a deal.

Will our marriage save me

for a month? Days?

Help me, and tomorrow

I'll give you everything.

You agreed not to come tonight,

or any other night.

That's true...

It was agreed.

But give me your hand. Teach me!

Lead me!

I'm blind here!

These halls lead to an invisible trap.

- They'll kill me.

- No!

Your brothers will

and you'll be a useless widow.

You can rule over them.

You can be Queen, Margot!

Let go of me!

We were forced to marry.

Let's outplay them.

Quiet!

Be my ally! Let's strike a deal!

Don't be my enemy!

Be quiet...

I'm not your enemy.

My friend, then?

My ally?

Will you be my ally?

Maybe.

Now leave.

Leave.

Is it a brother?

A lover?

Both?

I'd love to know.

I also had a coat.

I don't love him...

But I won't betray him.

Stay.

It's your wedding night, not mine.

Henriette!

I need a man tonight.

Let's go out.

Let go of that!

Protestant bastard!

That's mine!

Give it back!

This must be yours.

You're from the country?

You lost everything?

My horse...

Some clothes.

All my money!

It'll be free for you, then.

Not on the mouth!

My father left me this hunting book.

I heard Ren le Florentin

might be interested.

It's for sale?

Yes, I've been robbed.

It's for sale.

It's a hunting book.

About hunting, and falconry.

Leyrac de la Mle.

Is that you?

My father.

From Roussillon?

From Languedoc.

Remarkable.

Exquisite.

You came for the wedding?

I came to see Admiral Coligny.

Coligny?

A friend of my father's.

Don't you know?

He's dead.

Someone shot him,

just a few minutes ago.

Look out!

On a Friday. Like our Lord!

Make way!

Is that the Admiral?

- Is he...?

- A miracle! He'll live.

Murderers!

You murderers!

You want us all dead!

Let them through!

God will punish you.

Is that your peace?

Make way for the King!

Justice will be done!

Our brethren

will come from all over to avenge us!

Speak to them!

Don't cry for revenge.

Thank God who looks over you.

Coligny will live!

It's only a light wound.

I'll prove my loyalty.

A ship awaits,

to take you to England.

With Coligny gone, you're dead!

But he lives!

I know what they can do...

- What we can do!

- Don't listen!

She's a Catholic!

She's a spy!

Get her out of here!

We're 1,000!

Let's gather and fight!

Listen... She's warning us!

She hates us.

Get her out!

- She's one of them!

- She's Guise's mistress!

Whose side would Jesus

take if he were here?

Jesus would tell your King

to risk drowning at sea...

- She mocks us!

- But not to wait

to die in a disaster.

I'm telling you to flee tonight!

First they killed your mother!

Today they attacked Coligny.

You're next.

You'd come with me?

But... She's one of them!

It's true,

I'm one of them.

You can't be saved.

You'll deserve your fate.

They'll seek revenge.

They're getting ready

in the peasant's room.

I feel it.

I want to know who did it.

Didn't you see their hatred?

How they cursed us?

The Louvre will fall.

They'll kill you,

your brother and sister.

They'll kill us all!

They've been mustering for weeks.

I've got weapons!

I've got men!

They're thousands.

They've got power,

and will use it!

Coligny's my father.

Stop calling him that!

If your father were alive,

he'd know what to do!

He knew that a real King

does both good deeds

and bad ones!

Guise knows how to attack first!

- Me?

- They found your pistol.

Fine! That's a crime

I'd have loved to commit.

Nobody's blaming you,

but why miss!

They blame me for Coligny?

So what!

Go on, open an inquiry for Coligny!

Listen to Guise!

Be a useless King seeking justice!

You'll bring ruin to France,

when I'm working to make it strong!

Since your father died, it's me

who's been doing all the dirty work!

- It was you?

- I'd die to save my children!

You had him shot?

Me, only me...

He should have died!

We have to go all the way now.

We must kill the leaders. Tonight!

Cond, of course, and D'Aubign.

Teligny, Beauvoix, Mornay,

Du Bartas...

- La Rochefoucauld...

- Crussol...

And Navarre!

No! Not Navarre!

Coligny!

You want Coligny dead?

l do too!

So, all the others in France

must die too!

There must be no survivors!

No one left to blame me for this.

- How many must we kill?

- Eleven.

Fourteen.

All of them!

- How many are we?

- Enough.

Name?

Coconnas... Hannibal.

You know what you're volunteering for?

l do.

What about those who help them?

May God help those who help them.

- And the witnesses?

- The Catholics won't talk.

Make sure the others can't!

A lot of people!

The King said all of them!

It has started.

Get the weapons!

Over there!

Let him go!

Move!

Armagnac! Du Bartas!

Henri!

Margot!

Fight back!

Go get De Nancay!

Go to your room!

Lock yourself in!

- There's one upstairs.

- Quick.

This La Mle's a Protestant.

- Why are you telling me that?

- Go on!

Son of a b*tch!

Get him!

Over there!

Come here!

- You're a Protestant?

- Yes.

Of course he is!

He must convert!

You heard her. Say the Credo.

Say it.

Credo in unum Deum,

Patrem omnpotentem... Say it!

Say it!

Look out!

Coligny's up there.
