Queen Margot Page #3

Kick in the door!

There he is!

Mine! He's mine!

It's done!

l curse you!

There he is!

l am the Queen of Navarre!

He is with me!

It's God's justice, he must die.

God doesn't want him dead!

Kill me first!

Why save him?

He'll die in my arms,

not in yours!

You won't get this one!

How many did you kill?

Only those I had to.

On Judgment Day

you'll be glad to have spared one life

for Our Lord. And that day

may be close by.

What will you say to God?

What will you say to God?

That you finished off the wounded?

And killed a Catholic woman to do so?

I've six Catholics with me!

And I'll stab you in the heart!

So get out now!

Let's go!

He's back...

It's a bad wound.

Take me away. I'm ready.

l knew you would be beautiful...

So luminous!

I'm ready!

Take me away!

Open up!

They're going to kill Henri!

She wants him dead!

What?

They said they want him dead.

He didn't come to see me tonight.

Where is he?

In the King's room.

Let me through!

Is Navarre here?

He has to convert!

He's in my room.

With them.

He won't convert.

It isn't my doing.

l didn't order this.

You believe me?

Why?

Why?

She did it.

l swear she's to blame!

You gave them Henri?

No! I brought him here to protect him.

They all came later.

Come with me.

No!

Come on...

Come on.

I'm scared!

Calm down...

- I don't want to go!

- It's all right...

Hush...

Where were you?

And Armagnac? Did they kill him too?

What do we do with him?

Not Henri!

Don't touch him!

We'll all be damned!

We said all the leaders.

Don't touch him!

You should've killed him before.

It's too late now.

You wed us before God...

He's my husband, your brother.

He won't convert.

Let him be!

You still won't?

- Why?

- Don't insist...

It's over now.

No Protestants in the family!

- Stop!

- You understand?

Let Margot deal with him.

Now I know what hate is!

Well, learn about hypocrisy too.

You must convert.

Don't go!

What do you want?

You'll never find him.

This one?

We must forget tonight's faces.

Take them away!

''l wish to return to

the Catholic Church,...

..the Roman Catholic Church...''

''l wish to return to

the Catholic Church,...

..the Roman Catholic Church...''

''l renounce all

Lutheran and Calvinist heresy...''

''And I beg you in the name of God,...

of his son Jesus,

and the Holy Virgin,...

the most Holy Virgin Mary,

his mother...''

''And I beg you in the name of God...

To pardon my sins

among these sects...

and greet me in the community...

obedient to the Pope.''

l thought you were dead.

They let you live!

l too converted.

Don't be ashamed. We're alive!

Bells? No one's left to kill!

Wrong!

Your friend Cond got away.

One more, one less! Who cares?

You are now a proud Catholic King!

You can be proud!

Proud to rule over a country

full of dead bodies!

Paris is a cemetery!

Your subjects are either dead

or covered in shame!

You always worry about your sons.

Well, don't any more -

because they're damned!

And I am too!

Why?

They were my wedding guests!

And you used me as bait

for the massacre!

Not in public!

Your family doesn't need bait

to start a massacre.

How many killers did you take along?

l finished what the King started.

No! The King

saved us! Don't insult him!

How many did it take

for Coligny?

Stop it!

Take a message to Cond.

I'm a prisoner too!

Come on!

l wanted peace, Margot!

Peace for the kingdom, for my children!

You are no longer to leave the Louvre.

That way you'll be with

your Protestant friends.

What's wrong, Margot?

Your husband's Catholic now.

Don't become Protestant!

Something happened last night?

Something else?

I'll find out.

Every night he cries out,

vowing to find his enemy...

I'm the one he seeks.

l can't escape this man.

God put him on my road.

He's always hounding me.

And if he doesn't find me, I'll go after him.

Stay put!

l must see her!

They say you're a faceless devil...

People fear you

because you're the executioner.

Yet you saved my life.

You can't even walk.

They say she can't love...

That murderous blood runs in her...

Yet she saved my life!

l must see her!

No one can get near her.

Or near her husband.

They can't even move around

the Louvre freely.

It's better like that.

God chose me

to save her.

I'll set her free.

Look.

Here in Amsterdam

there are 2,000 waiting to leave.

They'd rather face hunger, cold,

and the unknown,

than pray in the cellar,

or pretend to go to Mass.

l could leave too...

No! We must fight!

l was in London, Germany...

We are gaining ground.

The Catholics feel our threat!

They fear us!

l saw La Rochelle,

l got in by the sea.

Guise has doubled his men,

but our people die rather than convert!

Guise fuels my hate!

Hope shall rise among our people

if we free Navarre.

How many men will you need?

Monsieur Mends is back.

You'll get your money.

Only 300. Secrecy counts

more than numbers.

Last year, Monsieur Mends' family

had to flee Spain.

I'm Jewish.

My wife's a Christian.

My family converted a long time ago.

That changed nothing.

The law forbids us to marry Catholics.

They want to keep the blood pure!

I'll give you the money

to save the King of Navarre.

Even if we are of different faiths.

So he converted! She made him?

No, she saved him!

And they are both prisoners?

l don't believe it!

Look!

l count seven lumps.

Anjou will live?

He'll be King?

He'll rule 14 years.

Anjou will rule after Charles.

And Alencon?

He'll rule after that?

Alencon will not live to be 30.

But his son? One of my sons

will have a son, right?

The liver is to the left:

Three deaths followed by decay.

Death?

My three sons!

Decay?

Henri of Navarre...

will rule in their place.

l thought that horrid night

had changed it all!

We killed 6,000 of them...

But he's still alive!

The red is so beautiful, so pure.

There!

The blue is Venice Cream.

Let me see.

It's beautiful!

You're gorgeous. Look.

They can even cry!

Why should they cry?

Charlotte, I have a present for you.

Come...

The red blush

I promised for your lips.

For me?

At the last moment!

It's a powerful aphrodisiac.

Thank you!

We've invaded your rooms!

She's up to something.

And Armagnac?

Where is he?

How about you?

- Do you know?

- No, Madame, I don't.

Yes, you do!

I've had enough!

Did you hear anything?

Thousands have converted.

They're not so resolute after all...

And him?

Him?

You need another man.

A man to arouse your body,

and put your memory to sleep.

- Forget him.

- I can't.

You forgot others!

She suspects me.

She's right.

You'd do anything!

Take it off.

The blush?

Everything but the blush.

Don't touch her!

Don't touch her!

Come, it's too late for her.

Where is he?

She's alone.

Too bad.

Wait!

Grab her feet.

Open the window.

Throw her out.

Come on, throw her out!

Don't stay here...

Go back to bed.

Armagnac...

escaped thanks to her.

Every night I see my people

being slaughtered.

l hear screams,
