The Musketeers

The Musketeers must risk everything to save France from Rochefort’s treacherous plan. While Porthos seeks to lure the Spanish spy-master to Paris to prove Rochefort’s betrayal to the King, Athos and d’Artagnan must save Constance from certain death. But will they be able to protect Aramis and the Queen before Rochefort gets to them? The fate of France and their closest comrades lies in the Musketeers’ hands. MORE -LESS

And I learnt all kinds of secrets....

Get some rest.

I am your queen.

There is another matter.

to establish the facts of the Queen's infidelity.

You assaulted Her Majesty without invitation or provocation,

How would you describe their behaviour?

So was it you he really wanted to see...

in a manner... appropriate to your heinous crimes.

If you run, she dies.

Very soon, your lover Aramis will be broken upon the wheel.

of every day.

In England, perhaps.

Then I must, in all humility, do so again, Majesty.

Ah, you had your chance.

Rochefort wrapped my mind in such terrible lies.

I'm resigning my commission and retiring at the monastery at Douai.

~ Do you, Constance, take d'Artagnan to be your husband? ~ I will.

The Musketeers must put their lives on the line when the Queen is accused of treason. They have no choice but to steal her away from the Palace to safety, while they search for evidence to prove that Rochefort is a Spanish spy. However it soon transpires that nobody is safe from Rochefort’s grasp, not even the King, with devastating consequences.

~ How dare you! ~ Don't be provoked, Constance.

What's going on?

But... but perhaps she was just thinking of the Dauphin.

I'm glad to hear it, sire.

You claim you have information to bring down Rochefort. What is it?

Meanwhile, the King is bouncing another man's child on his knee.

.. I've never met a woman like her.

There might be something incriminating amongst them.

Just get the Queen to safety.

you caused me was the knowledge Athos hanged you years ago.

Your Majesty would benefit from a good night's sleep.

You would never have married me if you'd known the truth about my past.

But you can escape, Aramis.

It makes no sense. If the King dies, the Queen becomes regent.

I owe it to my son.

Vargas has never trusted anyone in his life.

The King might die!

I cannot delay any longer, Captain.

Testify against Aramis and the Queen and you live.

This way.

Confine the Queen to her quarters. Securely this time.

Porthos uncovers the truth about his parentage and demands answers from his new found father. As he learns more about his past, Porthos questions his place in the Musketeers regiment. However the Musketeers have suspicions about Porthos’ new family, wondering whether he should trust them. Can they save Porthos from the dangers that lie ahead and where do his true loyalties lie? MORE -LESS

What else did he tell you about me?

You must know the story of the infamous Marquis de Belgard?

I need time, d'Artagnan.

Now...

I can find other servants for the Queen.

Eleanor has her looks, but also her character -

A female assassin?

Your fortitude in the face of tragedy has been admirable.

.. he offered me a commission in the musketeers.

Sir, the entertainment doesn't start until ten this evening.

Is Porthos here?

Did I earn my place in the musketeers on merit alone?

I'm going to settle my account with your father once and for all...

And yet, you survived and prospered.

I can never be free to love as I want, but you are.

We have no evidence he is. Camille only ever saw Eleanor and Levesque.

What's that for?

My son is going to succeed me, now.

Levesque is a pimp and exploiter of young women.

It's true, De Foix and I left you in that terrible place.

The King’s cousin is ambushed while under Musketeer escort as she travels from Mantua to Sweden to make a political marriage that will be advantageous to France. The Musketeers must quickly discover who is targeting her to keep both her and the alliance between countries protected. However it emerges that other important figures at Court also appear to be in danger. Who is the killer and could he already be inside the Palace walls? MORE -LESS

As soon as she's rested, we'll take her to the archbishop, as planned.

the ransom demanded by Spain for my release... from imprisonment.

I must raise it at his council meeting.

Sire?

and I don't want to receive Princess Louise!

You know I did.

Aramis wears a jewelled crucifix.

Alas, in the all the turmoil it has not yet been collected.

Why don't we just wish each other luck and go our separate ways,

I have no idea.

I'm sure the archbishop was VERY appreciative(!)

It would concern me more if you had any proof.

It's a gift from a friend.

I beg you.

Dr Lemay asked me to assist him.

Be ready to greet him and escort him inside.

But if she isn't Princess Louise, then who is she?

The Musketeers will not be expecting an attack from behind them.

You clearly know how to handle women, monsieur.

On his way.

Go! Go! Go!

All of them.

Whoever you are, this is over.

You and your lover Francesco are professional assassins.

The archbishop. The chancellor.

An astronomer gathers the royal party to see an eclipse, but events take a dramatic turn.

Welcome, sire. The great Marmion is busy with his final preparations.

Follow me, Your Majesty.

I was a damn fool. I should have taken that position on the Council

One more step, and the King dies.

End this now and the King might yet grant you clemency.

Simple ones with simple outcomes.

everyone here will be dead by the time they dismount.

NO!

Marmion is my brother. I'd follow him to Hell if he asked me.

If we kill these people, how are we better than them?

~ Why do you keep staring at me? ~ I'm surprised.

~ I don't know who is where. ~ That's the beauty of it.

Five years in gaol. That must have been tough.

I take no pleasure in their deaths.

Thank God. Thank God you're alive.

A shout of defiance in the face of an indifferent universe.

Anyone who tried to escape was shot.

~ I heard you broke a window. ~ Better that than my neck.

We'll just melt back into the land. They'll never find us.

~ No! Why? What has she ever done to you? ~ Nothing.

~ Do not talk of them to me. ~ They'd be ashamed.

The game must be played to the end.

You almost sound as though you care.

You make the call.

Once upon a time that might have been important to me.

Athos must confront his past to protect the people he left behind.

.. a long time ago.

A man should never lose himself to drink like that.

Well, perhaps if you'd shown a little more interest in

But every now and then one discovers a rose amongst the thorns.

However, I promise you they will be treated as they deserve.

Get out of my way.

Catherine.

Thomas taught me to shoot.

But even that was stolen from me.

An army of scarecrows with no horses, no swords...

~ You can't believe them! ~ Was it all a lie?

I didn't think that would work.

From the Comte de la Fere to a common soldier.

You think you know me, but you don't.

I've no use for it. I give it to you.

That's it, everyone! Everything you can find.

I lay awake last night thinking, "What am I doing here?

Perhaps when I sign over the land to you...

JEANNE: The land belongs to us now!

EDMOND: Retreat, men. We regroup.

I can't breathe in a world where your wife still lives.

Edmond. Edmond.

A woman claims to have visions from God which instruct her to start a war with Spain.

murdering anyone with a Spanish name. It's chaos.

It is rare to find beauty and humour in a woman.

~ How many men do you have guarding him? ~ Two.

I am not interested in that.

What's the matter?

I can smell it on you, like a sour note in a fine perfume.

Are you really a deserter, Aramis?

No! Stay back!

I had a vision. I saw you and me with the King.

Innocent people are dying all because of that foolish peasant girl

When you truly love someone, all the tricks in the world don't matter.

Do you think God can protect them from muskets, artillery, gunpowder?

I ask the questions, you answer them. Do you understand?

Write down everything you know about her.

No. But the message is clear enough.

Did the Cardinal teach you that?

What choice do I have?

I know you.

Why are you here?

If you need me, I'll be close by.

I've never felt anything like it before.

the carriage the King has provided for you. Thank God.

We promised each other.

We've had no orders from Rochefort about a carriage.

Are you all right? What happened?

There will be blood for this!

We think you've been drugged. Perhaps for a long time.

It was you who wanted all that. I believed my visions came from God.

The Musketeers help rescue an enemy's daughter in exchange for a deadly gunpowder formula.

We were followed by General Baltasar and his Spanish agents.

She will remain untouched, until the moment Tariq delivers himself to us.

~ Were you aware he was here? ~ I am astonished to hear it.

Let him carry on thinking that.

I always presumed it was the mountain air.

Nothing I can't handle.

Madeleine, get some towels.

Seeing you again was a pleasant diversion on a trying day.

I sometimes wonder who really benefits from your marvellous plan.

This is the future King of France.

I will sit with you, if you wish.

Are you in pain?

You are a determined woman, Milady.

Do you read Arabic?

but I cannot bear to look at them tonight.

You're mad. You'll die.

In return for Samara

My company does not please you. I shall withdraw.

Constance?!

and public execution.

Where is Madame Bonacieux?

Take this as a token of my esteem.

I suggest you leave. Unless you intend to shoot me as well.

You have to build a new one where our people can live in dignity

It stifles every decent impulse, destroys common sense and reason.

The Dauphin's lungs are clearing and his fever has broken.

D'Artagnan must protect King Louis when a notorious criminal kidnaps them both.

Your Majesty.

You never even looked at me before.

He is the royal prince.

Find who?

He pays me.

the utter stupidity of his suggestion.

to explain his absence from court.

You should be pleased. People vanish for all manner of reasons.

Here. Convict?

Get up!

Forwards.

Well, there are Spanish ships docked at Bayonne, Honfleur and Marseille.

If anything comes back on me, I'll come down there and kill you all!

The city is quiet.

The King is missing.

I am making great strides with the Queen. Already she trusts me.

feel free to come to me.

Say you were to write to your brother, seeking his support.

France will be rid of me soon anyway.

All that was taken from me.

And when they are done the mob will tear you apart, limb by limb.

You seemed eager enough, once or twice or three times,

No time, just go!

We'll search every cove and tributary if we have to.

It's Gus! Not me!

There won't be much opportunity for that in the Spanish galleys.

After them!

D'Artagnan will bring him safely home.

Wait here. I'll see if anyone's following.

There's someone coming. Get back, get back.

France has a new king and a lonely and vulnerable Queen.

Your bravery and loyalty during our ordeal deserves recognition.

Thank you, Rochefort. That was well done.

The Musketeers must rescue a French general from an impenetrable Spanish prison.

instead of a troupe of performing monkeys?

Gave it a good try, didn't he?

This is no time for modesty.

The General and I were like brothers.

You drive me mad with desire.

Let me through!

He said she was a woman of great sense and discretion.

Oh, really, is it?

Perhaps there is no harm in it.

Unless you confess to an act of treason

Now, do you want to hear what I have to say or not?

For the sake of France, we must find a way to work together.

I'm sure even a Musketeer can understand that concept.

until there is nothing left of a man's courage or dignity.

First, stop you talking.

Inside!

Whatever happens, get De Foix back safe.

You'll be handed to the Spanish ambassador on our return to Paris.

Bonacieux might live for years yet.
