-What ells?

Laten we de zaken

nog eens op een rij zetten.

Imagine that the alchemyest is the one behind the lightning.

And that the alchemyest is Vidocq himself.

I don't understand it.

The lightning, the murders, the mask.

Didn't somebody else commited that before?

And that also explains

these instruments...

and the mask here, not?

And Vidocq himself fell in the pit?

-Listen.

Or he setted up his own dead.

Whe only found a pile of ashes.

It is a bautifull end

for a manipulating villan?

Allow me, sir,

but that sounds...

to complicated.

-Listen.

Listen.

Vidocq and the alchemyest

are two different persons. I've got prove.

It seems he knows his case well.

Which prove?

Let me go.

Vidocq battled with the alchemyest

when Laffite died.

I have a witness.

And all those instruments?

-Vidocq is a scientist.

He worked on a paper formula.

And that? ls that for the decoration?

Who says the alchemyest

is one person?

You are crazy.

There can be two thiefs

behind the mask.

Vidocq and the other monster.

Nimier for example.

You are crazy.

No, nevermind. It's alright.

Do you take...?

-prove.

Take it easy okay?

And calm down now.

what does this has to mean?

Where do you come from?

He carries a mirror, Doesn't he?

On the place of his face there

is a mirror.

How did you escaped? How?

What did he do?

What does he do with de girls?

What does he do?

Where is his lab?

Where is his lab?

What dirty tricks.

Bastard.

I know the secret of the monster.

The mirror is alive.

The mask is an energiereceptor...

Some kind of pump.

The alchemyest steals the souls...

on the moment that he

Killes his fictem.

He locks them up trough his mask...

and he feeds himself with it

so he doen't get older.

The achemyest uses the virginity blood...

for the glass of the mirror.

It is the pureness

of the blood...

that gives him life.

If i'm right, i know where he is.

The killer doesn't make the mask

himself, only the material.

Hij has an accomplice. A glasscraftsman.

I know where he is.

In the glassblazery of the arsenal.

And, a**hole? Working?

Where did you get that?

And always snuffling around?

Atleast i'm searching.

And me? You think i did nothing?

I started all over.

Calm down. I started

all over.

What does that change?

What do you know that i don't know?

I know why Vidocq

was in the blazery.

I know who he was chaseing.

And what his goal was.

Do you talk about the alchemyest?

You are behind. Now you have to find

his accomplicee.

Do you meen the glassblowers?

Yes. He saw everything.

He was there when Vidocq died.

-What?

Tonight i talked

with the blowers.

I knew they where hiding someone.

And they understood that they had to talk.

in exchange for my protection.

Is he going to tell everything?

-He doesen't have a choice.

It is me or the algemyest.

Are you going there?

-You understand everything.

Take me with you .

-You want to go with us?

Take me with you.

I also want to nail the alchemyest.

Also I want to revenge Vidocq.

We are going.

-Where to?

Where nobody is looking yet.

In the glassblazery.

With Froissard with us we're with two.

And that dork is always to fast for us.

And the alchemyest,

who killed al the witnesses, is following him.

It is almost his turn.

And we'll lose him.

No, my lord.

-I know where he is.

With Nimier.

They have found the blower.

It is time for the truth.

Put this on. For the gasses.

We used poisened material.

Tell everything that you saw.

Don't be afraid.

They are here to protect you.

He said he was looking for the devil.

But he was it himself.

He wants a new mask.

He brought the materials.

When does he come back?

When?

He is here.

-What?

In the coolchamber.

The mask is done. He must be there.

I may not enter there if he...

wait!

If i must die,

i want to see your face.

Vidocq dying voluntary? Impossible.

I swear that i saw that.

When he saw his face,

he threw himself in the well.

Did you see his face?

No, i only saw his back.

Damned, all that for nothing.

This was my last change.

Police officer.

You haven't lost anything.

Nobody know's anything. Nobody saw anything.

Nobody will ever know

who the algemyest is.

Is that so?

I want to see your face.

It is not because of your face

that i let you go.

It is cause of what i saw in the mask.

When they pulled me out,

i was supposed to be dead.

Death for everybody.

They'd hidden me and took care of me.

I let Nimier come.

I knew it was you who was

walking behind my dead body.

which disguise is beter then Etienne?

F***ing mask.

Nimier.

Leave him for me. He's stuck.

Bastard.

I want to see the dead body. Let me see it.

I wanted to see you.

I wanted to be sure it was real.

Damned. I rather pass on something like that.

And now?

It is done.

the people march to the Louvre...

And Karel X is on the run.

Is that going to change anyting?

For them i don't now.

Everything is arranged for me.

Why?

-In the best case, The Prison.

The worst, the guillotine.

or visa versa.

Are you going to leave France?

No, I'll take my responsibility.

After all we have been through...

Damned.

How could this happen?

For our friend Jean-Franois Mallet
