00:03:59and not creep about in my personal chambers.
00:04:03May I ask how you managed to find your way in here?
00:04:11I made a friend of one of the young maids who brings you your meals.
00:04:15She was extremely helpful.
00:04:18And extremely friendly, no doubt.
00:04:21Your ingenuity is to be admired.
00:04:25The question remains.
00:04:26Why not simply request a meeting in the conventional manner?
00:04:32Because I desire more than a conventional meeting, sir.
00:04:36Yes.
00:04:38Allow me to explain myself.
00:04:40You've been a great inspiration to me, sir.
00:04:43So much so that I sought out the true facts of how you became a musketeer.
00:04:48The true facts?
00:04:50Is it not the case, sir, that entry to the musketeers normally requires at least two years' training at the academy?
00:04:55Yes.
00:04:56But if a candidate performs an act of bravery or expertise that greatly impresses you...
00:05:04At my discretion, I may appoint the candidate directly to the musketeers of the guard.
00:05:09As was the case, I believe, when you challenged three of the most famous musketeers,
00:05:13Athos, Porthos and Aramis, to a duel.
00:05:17Whereupon you had an audience with the king himself.
00:05:19Well, you make it sound very straightforward, young man.
00:05:23But I can assure you there's no shortcut to becoming a musketeer.
00:05:27But is it not true?
00:05:29Broadly speaking, is that how the legends have it?
00:05:33They do indeed, sir.
00:05:34Which is why I, Philippe Gaston, have come here today to challenge you.
00:05:44You?
00:05:46Challenge me?
00:05:48Do you accept, sir?
00:05:49You're just a boy.
00:05:53What age are you?
00:05:55No younger than you were when you made your challenge to the musketeers.
00:06:00Put down your sword, Philippe.
00:06:01I warn you, sir.
00:06:03I will not leave here unsatisfied.
00:06:04I am prepared, Philippe,
00:06:20to provide you with something far more useful to you than just a duel.
00:06:28It just so happens that I'm in the process of writing my memoirs.
00:06:32Something which you have rudely interrupted.
00:06:37Perhaps you would like to hear the actual facts.
00:06:43Well, if I'm mistaken,
00:06:46I'm sure the actual events were equally as heroic.
00:06:50Listen to what I have to say, Philippe.
00:06:53And then we shall see if you still wish to fight a duel.
00:06:57Very well, sir.
00:07:02So, where does the story begin?
00:07:08On the battlefield at La Rochelle?
00:07:10Or perhaps during the war against the Spanish?
00:07:13How old do you think I am, boy?
00:07:16Those campaigns took place before I was born.
00:07:20My father,
00:07:21on the other hand,
00:07:24was well acquainted with both.
00:07:25I was born in Gascony,
00:07:38far from any frontiers,
00:07:41and as safe from war as anywhere in France.
00:07:44My father chose it deliberately when he retired
00:07:50as a safe place to raise his son.
00:07:53Was that comment directed at me, sir?
00:08:06I said,
00:08:07was that comment directed at me?
00:08:13Well, I can't see anybody else here, sir,
00:08:15so I don't know who else your comment
00:08:17could have been directed at.
00:08:18My name?
00:08:23My name is D'Artagnan.
00:08:27And I shan't take any more of your lip, sir.
00:08:40Let that be a lesson to you, sir.
00:08:41And don't let me ever catch you
00:08:44causing trouble around Gascony again.
00:08:47Charles!
00:08:48Where are you, boy?
00:08:58Sorry, father.
00:08:59I was just, uh,
00:09:00attending to the horses.
00:09:03Attending to them with your sword, were you?
00:09:05You practice with that thing day and night.
00:09:13Especially when there's farm work to be done.
00:09:17Have you ever stopped to consider
00:09:18what the meaning is in it all?
00:09:21To defend myself.
00:09:24I see.
00:09:25How much will you charge?
00:09:27What?
00:09:28To defend yourself.
00:09:30How much will you charge?
00:09:31It isn't a profession, father.
00:09:33No, it's not.
00:09:36It's not a profession.
00:09:38Nor a trade.
00:09:40Nor a business.
00:09:43Now, running a farm,
00:09:45that is a profession.
00:09:48But you've never had much inclination
00:09:50towards that, have you?
00:09:52We get by all right, don't we?
00:09:54We do.
00:09:55But that's with me in charge.
00:09:58There's always work to be done on a farm,
00:10:01feeding chickens,
00:10:03brushing horses,
00:10:04sowing seed.
00:10:06And since your mother passed away,
00:10:09there's housework to be done.
00:10:11What will you do when I'm gone?
00:10:17Are you trying to tell me something?
00:10:18Yes, son, I am.
00:10:23Are you unwell?
00:10:27God, how long have you got?
00:10:29Don't be so stupid.
00:10:31I'm not ill.
00:10:33What I'm trying to tell you, son,
00:10:35is it is high time
00:10:37you decided what to do with your life.
00:10:40You're almost 18.
00:10:44By the time I was your age,
00:10:46I was already fighting campaigns
00:10:48in the Dordogne.
00:10:49Well, I'll fight anywhere.
00:10:50Just give me a chance.
00:10:51Give me that.
00:10:58It's time you had a proper job.
00:11:01I won't be needing this anymore.
00:11:03But you've been teaching me
00:11:03how to handle a sword all my life.
00:11:05Didn't you ever wonder why?
00:11:07Why?
00:11:10We live in a peaceful province.
00:11:13The only trouble you've encountered around here
00:11:15has been of your own making.
00:11:18But I've had that sword by my side
00:11:19since I was a young boy.
00:11:21This toy is not a sword.
00:11:34This is a sword.
00:11:40What do you think?
00:11:49It's beautiful.
00:11:51Where's it from?
00:11:53This sword was a gift to me
00:11:55from a man who was once my neighbour,
00:11:58Monsieur de Trevely.
00:12:01Does that name mean anything to you?
00:12:04Trevely?
00:12:04We fought together on many occasions.
00:12:09We fought the Spaniards.
00:12:11We fought the Huguenots.
00:12:13We fought anybody who would make war
00:12:16on the King and the Cardinal.
00:12:19This sword was his parting gift to me
00:12:22when we went our separate ways.
00:12:24I retired here to Gascony
00:12:27while he went on to serve
00:12:29the young King Louis XIV
00:12:31as Captain of the Musketeers.
00:12:34A position that he holds to this day.
00:12:38Captain of the Musketeers?
00:12:40Where he commands
00:12:41a salary of 10,000 crowns a year.
00:12:45He is, as you might say,
00:12:49a man of consequence.
00:12:53And not only that,
00:12:56he is in part responsible
00:12:58for your very existence.
00:13:00How is that?
00:13:02He once carried a very important message
00:13:04from me to your mother
00:13:06asking for her hand in marriage.
00:13:08We were both on campaign at the time,
00:13:17but he was stationed near to La Rochelle
00:13:20where your mother lived as a young girl.
00:13:24En route for La Rochelle,
00:13:26Monsieur de Trevely
00:13:27fought his enemies
00:13:28on no less than three occasions.
00:13:34He crossed rivers.
00:13:35He braved forest fires near to Lyon.
00:13:41By the time he got to La Rochelle,
00:13:45my letter was so blackened
00:13:47and burned and soaked
00:13:48as to be illegible.
00:13:53Fortunately,
00:13:54Monsieur de Trevely
00:13:55was kind enough
00:13:56to appraise your mother
00:13:57as to the contents.
00:13:59And fortunately for both of us,
00:14:02she accepted.
00:14:05And now,
00:14:08speaking of letters,
00:14:10I have written to Monsieur de Trevely
00:14:12reminding him of our past friendship
00:14:15and requesting that he consider you,
00:14:18my son,
00:14:19as a potential member
00:14:21of the Musketeers of the Guard.
00:14:26A me?
00:14:28A Musketeer?
00:14:29A man-at-arms
00:14:31to the king himself.
00:14:34Are you sure
00:14:35they'll accept me?
00:14:36Your strength and skill
00:14:38with a sword
00:14:38is beyond doubt.
00:14:40Your character is
00:14:42a little rough
00:14:43around the edges.
00:14:46You're impatient
00:14:47and quick to anger.
00:14:49Nothing that a couple of years
00:14:51in the Musketeer Training Academy
00:14:52won't cure.
00:14:53A couple of years?
00:14:54I don't need
00:14:55a couple more years
00:14:56training in how
00:14:57to handle a sword.
00:14:58Like I said,
00:15:00you are impatient
00:15:01and quick to anger.
00:15:05There is more
00:15:06to a Musketeer
00:15:06than just swordsmanship.
00:15:09But no matter.
00:15:11Monsieur de Trevely
00:15:12is the most honourable man
00:15:15I have ever known.
00:15:16I saved his skin
00:15:17on more than a couple of occasions.
00:15:20He won't forget
00:15:22the debt
00:15:22that he owes to me.
00:15:23I don't know
00:15:25what to say.
00:15:27You will need
00:15:27to present this letter
00:15:28to Monsieur de Trevely
00:15:30in Paris
00:15:31more than a few days
00:15:34travel away.
00:15:35And you will need
00:15:36to pay for lodgings
00:15:37while you are there.
00:15:40This pouch
00:15:40contains 15 gold crowns.
00:15:44Keep a close eye on it.
00:15:46There's many a man
00:15:47in Paris
00:15:48who would be happy
00:15:49to relieve you of it.
00:15:51The same goes
00:15:52with the sword
00:15:53and in particular
00:15:55the letter.
00:15:57Lose it
00:15:58at your peril.
00:16:02And most important
00:16:04of all
00:16:04don't let that temper
00:16:06of yours
00:16:07get you into trouble.
00:16:08Temper?
00:16:09What temper?
00:16:10You take every smile
00:16:12as an insult.
00:16:14Even a look
00:16:15is a provocation.
00:16:16Your hand is on
00:16:17on the pommel
00:16:18of your sword
00:16:18ten times a day.
00:16:21Even the cows
00:16:22know not to look you
00:16:23in the eye
00:16:24when your temper
00:16:24is raised.
00:16:27I know you have
00:16:28a strong sense
00:16:29of justice.
00:16:31Remember this.
00:16:33Not every injustice
00:16:34is yours to resolve.
00:16:38Listen to
00:16:38Monsieur de Trevely
00:16:39and make me proud.
00:17:03Well, sir.
00:17:04We meet again.
00:17:05I must ask you
00:17:07to step aside, sir.
00:17:08I have important
00:17:09business
00:17:09in Paris.
00:17:14Do you refuse
00:17:15to make way?
00:17:19Let me say again, sir.
00:17:21I have important
00:17:22business in Paris
00:17:23with none other
00:17:24than Monsieur de Trevely,
00:17:25captain
00:17:26of the King's
00:17:27Musketeers.
00:17:28I command you
00:17:34to step aside.
00:17:39So be it.
00:17:52So I set out
00:17:53on my trip
00:17:55from Gascony
00:17:55to Paris.
00:17:56The journey itself
00:18:01was pleasant
00:18:02and uneventful,
00:18:03which perhaps
00:18:04lulled me
00:18:05to a false sense
00:18:06of complacency.
00:18:11Once in Paris,
00:18:13I soon wished
00:18:14I'd paid more attention
00:18:15to my father's advice.
00:18:17which part of his advice?
00:18:30To keep the letter safe
00:18:31or to avoid
00:18:32getting into trouble?
00:18:33Both.
00:18:36I must say, sir,
00:18:37your story
00:18:37has been rather
00:18:38illuminating.
00:18:40I had
00:18:41believed you
00:18:42to be an example
00:18:43of a man
00:18:43from a humble background
00:18:44such as myself,
00:18:45succeeding entirely
00:18:46on his own merits.
00:18:49Now I know
00:18:49the sorry truth
00:18:50of the matter.
00:18:52It's unfortunate
00:18:53we can't all boast
00:18:53a father
00:18:54with such important
00:18:54connections.
00:18:56Are you suggesting
00:18:57I owe
00:18:58all my accomplishments
00:19:00to the words
00:19:01my father wrote
00:19:02in his letter
00:19:03to Monsieur de Trevely?
00:19:04Well, if my father
00:19:05was a close friend
00:19:06of the Captain
00:19:07of the Musketeers.
00:19:08Who is your father?
00:19:09Perhaps I know of him.
00:19:11You might know of him.
00:19:13I do not.
00:19:15Ah.
00:19:16No wonder
00:19:17you have such a chip
00:19:18on your shoulder.
00:19:20You've no right
00:19:20to judge me.
00:19:21Not now I know
00:19:22you got where you were
00:19:23through family connections.
00:19:24You have no right
00:19:24to make that assumption
00:19:25until you have heard
00:19:29the rest of my story.
00:19:29Very well.
00:19:35Do go on.
00:19:37Upon my arrival
00:19:37in Paris
00:19:38I quickly made
00:19:40an appointment
00:19:40to see
00:19:41Monsieur de Trevely
00:19:42and found some lodging
00:19:44as my father
00:19:45instructed.
00:19:47Unfortunately
00:19:48my pride
00:19:49in my father's
00:19:50connection
00:19:51to the Captain
00:19:51of the King's Musketeers
00:19:52could not be contained.
00:19:55I informed
00:19:56my landlord
00:19:57of my mission
00:19:58and he
00:20:00I can only
00:20:00assume
00:20:01informed
00:20:02half of Paris.
00:20:04There was no harm
00:20:04in that surely.
00:20:06Such was my thinking
00:20:06at the time.
00:20:09I was soon to learn
00:20:10that Paris
00:20:10was a good deal
00:20:11more dangerous
00:20:12than I had imagined.
00:20:12After aل
00:20:25animals
00:20:26kay
00:20:26house
00:20:27and

00:20:31to
00:20:32herself
00:20:32day
00:20:32and
00:20:33never
00:20:33thing
00:20:34was
00:20:38needed
00:20:39she
00:21:09You are?
00:21:20My goodness, I made it.
00:21:22Laurie?
00:21:23I can see right away that you had a brave young man that Lando told me about.
00:21:27I am.
00:21:29I mean, I am.
00:21:34Is everything all right?
00:21:35No, I am in great danger.
00:21:37Danger?
00:21:38Tell me more.
00:21:40Well, I hardly know where to begin.
00:21:42Where at the beginning?
00:21:44Well, it began almost an hour ago.
00:21:46When a man caught my eye as I was about to enter the Louvre.
00:21:48The Louvre?
00:21:49Yes.
00:21:50Have you been?
00:21:51No, I only arrived in Paris this morning.
00:21:53Well, I recommend it.
00:21:56And what about the man?
00:21:57Oh, yes.
00:21:58He was most evil-looking.
00:22:00He was dressed in the darkest of black, with a scar down one side of his face.
00:22:04Well, he gathered his men around himself and they blocked my path.
00:22:08With what intention?
00:22:09Well, you can imagine.
00:22:10In broad daylight?
00:22:11Yes, and they made no secret of it.
00:22:13So I turned and I ran at once.
00:22:15But they pursued me all the way across Paris, like a pack of dogs.
00:22:18I can imagine the type.
00:22:21They ought to be taught a lesson.
00:22:24Tell me, where can I find these dogs?
00:22:27But they are outside now.
00:22:29Outside?
00:22:30Yes.
00:22:30They followed me all the way to this very building.
00:22:33When I came inside in search of someone to save me.
00:22:36Well, you're lucky you came to me.
00:22:37I'm not afraid of some common villains.
00:22:41How many did you say there were?
00:22:43Four or five.
00:22:46Well, the more the better.
00:22:49You wait here.
00:22:51I'll return once I've vanquished these four dogs.
00:22:54Or five.
00:22:55Right.
00:22:57Wait.
00:22:58In case you don't return.
00:23:00I will certainly return.
00:23:13I was so utterly beguiled by the lady, I completely neglected to find out her name.
00:23:19Or indeed anything about her.
00:23:25And naturally, the pack of dogs was nowhere to be found.
00:23:30Young fool that I was.
00:23:43Rather than determining that the whole thing might have been a ruse, my mind was more concerned
00:23:48with whether or not I might be able to convince the lady that I had vanquished the enemy
00:23:54and what reward I might receive.
00:23:57The lady had disappeared.
00:24:04The lady had disappeared.
00:24:05The lady had disappeared.
00:24:12the lady had disappeared and served by 15 crowns and more importantly my father's letter
00:24:31and i had yet to have my appointment with monsieur de treillet what did you do what could i do
00:24:38the meeting was already arranged infuriate the man by failing to show up search the whole of
00:24:47paris for a woman i'd barely glimpsed and knew nothing about my only option was to attend the
00:24:57meeting as arranged and hope to catch monsieur de treillet in a good mood and did you
00:25:04not exactly
00:25:06i was ordered to wait outside as monsieur de treillet apparently had a more urgent matter to
00:25:27attend to also waiting to see monsieur de treillet out of sight to me but not out of earshot
00:25:34with three fellows i took an instant dislike to
00:25:37do you know what the king said to me this morning
00:26:04do you know gentlemen
00:26:14no sir we do not but we do hope you will do us the honor of informing us
00:26:30he said aramis that in future i should recruit his musketeers from the ranks of the cardinal's men
00:26:39the cardinal's men why because portos he realized that his thin dregs needed to be enlivened by some
00:26:48good and generous wine
00:26:50thin dregs to whom do you refer sir i refer athos to you and to you aramis and especially to you
00:27:00porthos me sir especially you
00:27:07why would the king say this do you think
00:27:15because gentlemen he had been told earlier in the day by the cardinal himself the tale of three
00:27:25musketeers who had loitered after closing time in a tavern on the rue for rue and were behaving in a
00:27:32boisterous manner and generally making a nuisance of themselves when the cardinal's guards attempted to
00:27:38arrest the offending drunkards a fight ensued which demolished the tavern causing damage for which i am obliged to
00:27:45reimburse the owner of the tavern
00:27:47the three musketeers in question having been soundly beaten by the guardsmen spent the rest of the evening
00:27:56sobering up in the cardinal cells on receipt of this knowledge i monsieur de trevillet captain of the king's musketeers was forced to ask the cardinal for their release
00:28:07does this tale sound at all familiar to you gentlemen
00:28:13all except for the part where you asked for a release
00:28:16yes sir we didn't know about that
00:28:20frankly i was appalled at what i heard
00:28:24these were the king's musketeers
00:28:27back in gascony
00:28:30we believed the cardinal was only one step removed from the lord himself
00:28:34yet here they weren't fighting with his men in a tavern
00:28:37everybody knows about the famous rivalry between the musketeers and the cardinal's men
00:28:41i didn't
00:28:42back then such things were only spoken about in private
00:28:47but i was soon to gain quite a few insights into the private world of the musketeers
00:28:54surely you three have been musketeers long enough to know of the rivalry between our men and those of his eminence
00:29:07of course sir
00:29:08that's why we resisted
00:29:10i'm sure you would agree it would have been a great shame if the three of us had
00:29:15meekly surrendered to the guardsmen
00:29:18a great shame was averted
00:29:20and replaced by an even greater one
00:29:22can you even comprehend the damage you've done
00:29:25i'm sure we can pay for the damage sir
00:29:28i'm not talking about the damage to the tavern
00:29:31i'm talking about the damage to the reputation of musketeers
00:29:35three of my best men soundly beaten by a couple of the cardinal's guardsmen
00:29:42they did catch us off guard sir
00:29:44and the worst for wear for several drinks no doubt
00:29:47there was more than a couple of them i'd say there were four
00:29:52or five or six
00:29:55yes sir six at least
00:29:57six
00:29:58against you three
00:30:00well
00:30:07perhaps the cardinal's version of events is somewhat exaggerated
00:30:10we would be most grateful if our version of events could be relayed to the king
00:30:15i shall do no such thing
00:30:18i have already relayed to the king a version of events in which the incident in question involve three young musketeers in training
00:30:25or are of no consequence and have already been relieved of their positions
00:30:30i am not a man for whom such dishonesty comes naturally
00:30:34i hope i shall not come to regret it
00:30:38of course sir
00:30:40i don't know who you are boy
00:30:57i haven't helped you if you're not bringing him good news
00:31:00you
00:31:27yes
00:31:35I arranged an appointment to see you sir
00:31:37what
00:31:38speak up boy
00:31:41I arranged an appointment sir
00:31:42to meet with you
00:31:44today at this time sir
00:31:46let me see
00:31:48these appointments are made
00:31:52on my behalf by others
00:31:55perhaps you should just simply make plain
00:31:58the reason for your request
00:31:59well sir I come to Paris from Gascony
00:32:02at the behest of my father
00:32:03who you know well
00:32:04I do
00:32:05I'm not aware I have any acquaintance
00:32:09in Gascony
00:32:10oh no sir you know him from before he retired
00:32:12his name
00:32:13d'Artagnan sir
00:32:15d'Artagnan
00:32:18yes
00:32:20I remember
00:32:21you have a letter for me
00:32:24I'm very interested in reading it
00:32:26your father
00:32:28young d'Artagnan
00:32:29was an excellent comrade
00:32:30in arms of mine
00:32:31on several campaigns
00:32:32I'm most eager to hear
00:32:34all about his most recent exploits
00:32:36well sir
00:32:38the main reason for his writing
00:32:40was in the hopes
00:32:42that you might be so kind
00:32:43as to accept me
00:32:44his son
00:32:45into the ranks of the musketeers
00:32:47accept you into the ranks
00:32:50one does not arrive in Paris
00:32:54one day
00:32:55and join the ranks
00:32:56of the musketeers
00:32:57on the second
00:32:57one isn't received
00:33:00into the musketeers
00:33:01without first having
00:33:02passed the ordeal
00:33:03of several campaigns
00:33:05or
00:33:05performed certain
00:33:06brilliant actions
00:33:07or served
00:33:09two years
00:33:10training at the academy
00:33:11of course sir
00:33:13I'm aware of that
00:33:14but I must assure you
00:33:15I've received all the necessary
00:33:16training from my father
00:33:18I'm sure you have
00:33:19Monsieur d'Artagnan
00:33:21was one of the greatest soldiers
00:33:22I ever had the pleasure
00:33:24to serve with
00:33:24if he has shared
00:33:26even part
00:33:28of his skills
00:33:29I'm sure you will make
00:33:30an excellent candidate
00:33:31well if you'd like
00:33:34to present me
00:33:35with the letter
00:33:35as proof of your provenance
00:33:37perhaps we can discuss
00:33:38how I might be able
00:33:39to help you
00:33:40I would be most grateful sir
00:33:42the letter
00:33:48if you please
00:33:49I'm sure you have not
00:33:51come all the way
00:33:52to Paris from Gascony
00:33:53and neglected to bring it
00:33:55I said
00:33:56but
00:34:00yes
00:34:02I'm sorry to say sir
00:34:06last night
00:34:08I'm afraid I fell victim
00:34:09to a common thief
00:34:10a thief
00:34:11yes sir
00:34:13who relieved me
00:34:15of fifteen crowns
00:34:16and the letter
00:34:17from my father
00:34:18under what circumstances
00:34:20well sir
00:34:21I was approached
00:34:23at my lodgings
00:34:24by a woman
00:34:24who was uncommonly attractive
00:34:26did you by any chance
00:34:29tell anyone
00:34:30at your lodgings
00:34:31that you were coming
00:34:32to see me
00:34:32and for what reason
00:34:33I may have mentioned it
00:34:35and did you by any chance
00:34:37mention that you were
00:34:39carrying a letter
00:34:40addressed to me personally
00:34:42but I didn't think
00:34:43it was a matter
00:34:44of such secrecy sir
00:34:45your father may have
00:34:46taught you how to fight
00:34:47like a musketeer
00:34:48but he taught you
00:34:48nothing of the way
00:34:49of the world
00:34:49in which we live
00:34:50this is Paris boy
00:34:52not Gascony
00:34:53you must be permanently
00:34:56on your guard
00:34:57against all manner
00:34:58of subterfuge
00:34:58there is many a spy
00:35:01who would give
00:35:01their sword arm
00:35:02to obtain a letter
00:35:03addressed to the captain
00:35:04of the king's musketeers
00:35:05irrespective of what
00:35:08it contained
00:35:08they will find a way
00:35:10to use it
00:35:10to their advantage
00:35:11monsieur de Treville
00:35:16went on to appraise me
00:35:17of important figures
00:35:18in Paris
00:35:19at the time
00:35:20the rivalry
00:35:22between the musketeers
00:35:23and the cardinal's men
00:35:23and in particular
00:35:24a man named Rochefort
00:35:25whom I was to be wary of
00:35:28seems to be a habit
00:35:30of men
00:35:31who become captain
00:35:32of the musketeers
00:35:32what does
00:35:34giving lectures
00:35:35which nobody
00:35:36requested to hear
00:35:37well then I advise you
00:35:39to pay attention
00:35:39to this particular lecture
00:35:41if I'd taken heed
00:35:43of my father's lecturing
00:35:44I may never have
00:35:45lost that letter
00:35:46now Philippe
00:35:46if you'll allow me
00:35:47to bore you
00:35:48a little longer
00:35:50you'll find out
00:35:52exactly why
00:35:53I should have listened
00:35:55to monsieur de Treville
00:36:01do you mean to say
00:36:03that lady was a spy
00:36:04possibly
00:36:06did you say
00:36:09she was uncommonly
00:36:10attractive
00:36:10yes
00:36:11did she speak
00:36:12with a Spanish accent
00:36:14I wouldn't know sir
00:36:16I've never met a Spaniard
00:36:17and was she accompanied
00:36:18by a man
00:36:19with a scar on his face
00:36:20she was alone sir
00:36:24and she relieved you
00:36:31of 15 crowns
00:36:33perhaps then she was
00:36:36just a common thief
00:36:37either way
00:36:41you stand here before me
00:36:43with no letter
00:36:44and no other proof
00:36:46that you are
00:36:47who you say you are
00:36:48I can see only
00:36:52two possible explanations
00:36:53the bad
00:36:56that you are
00:36:57indeed a spy
00:36:58and have been sent here
00:36:59in the hope
00:36:59that the mere mention
00:37:00of the name
00:37:01monsieur d'artagnan
00:37:02would be enough
00:37:03for me to welcome
00:37:04you into the hands
00:37:05of the musketeers
00:37:06oh no sir
00:37:07or
00:37:08a thousand times worse
00:37:10you are indeed
00:37:12the son of monsieur d'artagnan
00:37:14but are so
00:37:15utterly foolish
00:37:16as to have allowed
00:37:18a personal letter
00:37:19to me
00:37:19to fall into the hands
00:37:21of a dangerous enemy
00:37:22who might yet use
00:37:23the knowledge found
00:37:24therein
00:37:25to enact some
00:37:26devious plot
00:37:27against me
00:37:27what was the first
00:37:30one again
00:37:31the door is behind you
00:37:33sorry
00:37:34the door through
00:37:35which you entered
00:37:36please close it
00:37:37on your way out

00:41:14I see no gentleman here
00:41:16worthy of my apologies
00:41:17so whatever you three fellows are
00:41:19I'll see you tomorrow at dawn
00:41:22the prison court
00:41:25I'll be there
00:41:27about that bet we made
00:41:33I was thinking
00:41:34we might change the terms
00:41:36and I was thinking
00:41:38you're going to owe me a crown
00:41:41these were the circumstances
00:41:52in which you challenged them
00:41:53I pictured a more heroic scene
00:41:56not a bumbling accident
00:41:57I didn't challenge
00:41:58the musketeers at all
00:42:00it was they who challenged me
00:42:03still
00:42:03you did accept
00:42:05and promised to take on all three
00:42:07that precise moment
00:42:08I would have done anything
00:42:09to get them to stand aside
00:42:10my only thought
00:42:11was to retrieve
00:42:12the stolen letter
00:42:13of course
00:42:14did you ever find the woman?
00:42:16the wand of the streets of Paris
00:42:17long into the evening
00:42:18but no
00:42:20she remained elusive
00:42:22needn't worry
00:42:24unbeknownst to me
00:42:27at that very moment
00:42:28plans were afoot
00:42:29for her to find me
00:42:31playing with yourself again?
00:42:50what?
00:42:52the chess board
00:42:59I like to play for both sides
00:43:03so I see
00:43:04the manoeuvring of the court
00:43:11is not unlike a game of chess
00:43:14the bishop moves here
00:43:16the queen moves there
00:43:18I am always one step ahead
00:43:22even of his eminence?
00:43:24everything I do
00:43:26is in the service
00:43:27of his eminence
00:43:28you did well to acquire this
00:43:32and the rumors are correct
00:43:36the boy was on his way
00:43:38to see monsieur de Trevelay
00:43:39on a matter of any consequence?
00:43:42not in particular
00:43:43he's just a boy
00:43:46from Gasconia
00:43:46with dreams
00:43:47of becoming a musketeer
00:43:49but there may be a way
00:43:51to make something of it
00:43:53if he is just
00:43:54an innocent boy
00:43:55why not return his possessions
00:43:56and leave him be?
00:43:58we will return his possessions
00:43:59in good time
00:44:01first I wish to speak with him
00:44:03why?
00:44:05he may be a nobody
00:44:06but he has a direct connection
00:44:08to Trevelay
00:44:09in fact
00:44:10his father
00:44:11fought alongside Trevelay
00:44:13and even saved his life
00:44:14and a man like Trevelay
00:44:17would be compelled
00:44:18by his sense of honor
00:44:19to return the favor
00:44:20if we could convince the boy
00:44:23to somehow
00:44:24use his influence
00:44:26on our behalf
00:44:28what would you have me do?
00:44:32bring him to me
00:44:34how?
00:44:36he's not likely
00:44:37to trust me
00:44:37a second time
00:44:38return this to him
00:44:41as a sign of good faith
00:44:42and if that fails
00:44:46I'm sure you will find a way
00:44:49you always do
00:44:56you would do well
00:45:01to remember who I am
00:45:03and who I work for
00:45:05his eminence
00:45:09could easily expose
00:45:10your thorned past
00:45:12and if he did
00:45:14there would be no way
00:45:16for you to avoid
00:45:17the execution of his axe
00:45:19you think yourself
00:45:21a queen
00:45:22but you are just a pawn
00:45:24in this game
00:45:25you see yourself
00:45:28as a king
00:45:28of course
00:45:30be careful
00:45:32a pawn can move faster
00:45:34yes?
00:45:53you
00:45:54please
00:45:57I only came to return
00:45:59this to you
00:46:00my fifteen crowns
00:46:01and to apologize
00:46:03you see I had no idea
00:46:05who you were when
00:46:06when you robbed me
00:46:07like a common thief
00:46:08I'm sorry
00:46:10I should have known
00:46:12it was a ruse
00:46:12you're not the first
00:46:15to be taken in
00:46:16and you won't be the last
00:46:18there are very few
00:46:21young men
00:46:22as brave
00:46:22and gallant
00:46:23as you
00:46:23that would ever
00:46:24refuse a damsel
00:46:25in distress
00:46:25right
00:46:27well I appreciate
00:46:30your change of heart
00:46:30why did you say
00:46:34you were returning
00:46:34this?
00:46:35well
00:46:36when I realized
00:46:37who you were
00:46:38and your relationship
00:46:39to Mr. de Taville
00:46:40you've read my letter
00:46:41where is it?
00:46:43I am just coming to that
00:46:44well I need it
00:46:45I'd sooner have you
00:46:47take the fifteen crowns
00:46:48than the letter
00:46:49from my father
00:46:50I understand
00:46:51the letter is safe
00:46:53and will be returned
00:46:54to you
00:46:54yes?
00:46:58I just ask
00:46:59that you come with me
00:47:00I have a friend
00:47:03who would very much
00:47:04like to speak with you
00:47:05speak with me?
00:47:09why?
00:47:09well
00:47:12as I said
00:47:13when we realized
00:47:14who you were
00:47:15and your relationship
00:47:16to Mr. de Taville
00:47:17well you can forget
00:47:19about that
00:47:19I'm sorry?
00:47:22thanks to you
00:47:22I have no relationship
00:47:23to Mr. de Taville
00:47:25once he realized
00:47:27I didn't have the letter
00:47:28he didn't believe
00:47:28who I was
00:47:29sent me away
00:47:30with a flea in my ear
00:47:31but if you did
00:47:35have the letter
00:47:35would he reconsider?
00:47:37possibly
00:47:40that's my only chance
00:47:43everything's been going wrong
00:47:47since I came to Paris
00:47:48I lost the letter
00:47:51angered
00:47:52to Taville
00:47:53and
00:47:55to top it all off
00:47:56I have to duel
00:47:58with three musketeers
00:47:59at dawn
00:48:00they'll likely
00:48:02chop me to bits
00:48:03you are dueling
00:48:06against three musketeers
00:48:07yes
00:48:08though I had no idea
00:48:09how they got the rank
00:48:10they're awful people
00:48:11Athos
00:48:13Portos
00:48:14and someone
00:48:15Aramis
00:48:16yes that's him
00:48:17how did you know?
00:48:19those three names
00:48:20are often mentioned
00:48:20in the same breath
00:48:21they're well known
00:48:22notorious
00:48:23I knew it
00:48:25but
00:48:26highly skilled swordsmen
00:48:28and you're going to fight
00:48:30all three
00:48:30how did that come about?
00:48:34I don't know
00:48:34I somehow managed
00:48:36to get myself
00:48:36into these situations
00:48:37perhaps
00:48:39my friend can help
00:48:41he has some influence
00:48:43in matters of the court
00:48:45you're not a common thief
00:48:47are you?
00:48:50this friend of mine
00:48:51has a proposition
00:48:52to make you
00:48:52it could be valuable
00:48:54well
00:48:56since I'm not going
00:48:57to become a musketeer
00:48:58I do need a source
00:48:59of income
00:49:00if I returned to Gascony
00:49:02with nothing to share
00:49:03for my trip
00:49:03my father would likely
00:49:04disown me
00:49:05then you'll come with me
00:49:07at once
00:49:10I'm not taking you
00:49:16to fight a duel
00:49:17D'Artagnan
00:49:18such a beautiful blade
00:49:21would be safer
00:49:23kept here
00:49:23no
00:49:24you wouldn't want
00:49:26it to be stolen
00:49:27stolen
00:49:31you're a fine
00:49:32one to talk
00:49:33you're the only one
00:49:33around here
00:49:34who steals things
00:49:35and I'm coming
00:49:36with you
00:49:37so the sword
00:49:38will be clearly
00:49:39safer here
00:49:40wouldn't it?
00:49:44yes
00:49:44I suppose
00:49:45you're right
00:49:45m'lady
00:49:53I still don't know
00:49:54what to call you
00:49:55that'll do fine
00:49:58what?
00:49:59m'lady?
00:50:10so you fell
00:50:11for the same trick
00:50:12again
00:50:13even knowing
00:50:14she was most
00:50:15probably a spy
00:50:15I can assure you
00:50:17Philippe
00:50:17if you've any
00:50:18human blood
00:50:19in your veins
00:50:21you'd have fared
00:50:22no better than I
00:50:23did against
00:50:23so beautiful a woman
00:50:24perhaps you'll find out
00:50:25what kind of blood
00:50:26runs through my veins
00:50:26you promised me
00:50:27a duel remember
00:50:28I promised you
00:50:29no such thing
00:50:30you said
00:50:30if I listened
00:50:31to what you had
00:50:32to say
00:50:32and my story
00:50:33is far from finished
00:50:34don't you want to know
00:50:36about the trap
00:50:36I've been led into
00:50:37I hope there's some
00:50:39heroism in this story
00:50:40somewhere
00:50:41so far it's been
00:50:42a comedy of errors
00:50:43I've no idea
00:50:53where I spent
00:50:53the night
00:50:54possibly in one
00:50:56of the same
00:50:56cells that held
00:50:58Athos, Portos
00:50:59and Aramis
00:50:59the night before
00:51:00when dawn arrived
00:51:09I was rudely awoken
00:51:11you've done well
00:51:16m'lady
00:51:17the man with the scar
00:51:19now you have to
00:51:21wait to England
00:51:22his eminence
00:51:23requires this
00:51:24are you questioning
00:51:27his eminence's
00:51:28wisdom
00:51:29no
00:51:30I
00:51:31then are you
00:51:31questioning me
00:51:32of course not
00:51:34then do
00:51:36as instructed
00:51:37m'lady
00:51:44I sense
00:51:46not all may be
00:51:46as it seems
00:51:47if you should
00:51:49ever need
00:51:49my help
00:51:50I do not believe
00:51:53you are in a position
00:51:53to make such an offer
00:51:54to Artagnan
00:51:55but perhaps
00:51:57someday
00:51:57bring him forward
00:52:02please accept
00:52:13my apologies
00:52:14for my rather
00:52:14unconventional
00:52:15manner of invitation
00:52:17unconventional
00:52:19your men
00:52:21are lucky
00:52:21I was unarmed
00:52:22if I'd had my sword
00:52:24I would have made
00:52:24short work of them
00:52:25I don't doubt it
00:52:27but now to the reason
00:52:29for this conversation
00:52:31you have my letter
00:52:33where is it
00:52:35of course
00:52:39you'll return it to me
00:52:41in good time
00:52:44first I have a proposition
00:52:46to make
00:52:47well I can't say
00:52:48you've made the best
00:52:49first impression
00:52:50I'm afraid
00:52:52such measures
00:52:54are sometimes
00:52:55a necessary precaution
00:52:58when you're
00:52:58directly in line
00:53:00to the cardinal
00:53:01you work for the cardinal
00:53:03then I presume
00:53:05your name is Rochefort
00:53:06correct
00:53:08and I am without
00:53:09wishing to overstate it
00:53:12the eyes and ears
00:53:13of the cardinal
00:53:14both in Paris
00:53:16and beyond
00:53:17and what part
00:53:19does the lady play
00:53:20in this

00:53:25is Monsieur

00:53:27according to this letter
00:53:29he and your father
00:53:31were great friends
00:53:32and if that is the case
00:53:35that would assure you
00:53:36a place in his favour
00:53:38and a place
00:53:40among his musketeers
00:53:42well
00:53:43it might have
00:53:45if I'd had
00:53:47the letter
00:53:48didn't

00:56:29thing

00:56:39from this
00:56:40chamber

00:56:45how many minutes
00:56:57is a few
00:56:57Aramis
00:56:57just a few
00:56:59more
00:56:59you're always
00:57:01itching for a
00:57:02duel
00:57:03Aramis
00:57:03look
00:57:04my concern
00:57:06is this
00:57:07what if the boy
00:57:08arrives late
00:57:08and finds that
00:57:09we're not here
00:57:09he'll think that
00:57:11we're too afraid
00:57:12to show up
00:57:12and he'll have
00:57:13half of Paris
00:57:14believing it
00:57:14what if Wood
00:57:17then reaches the
00:57:17cardinal
00:57:17and then the
00:57:19king
00:57:19do you think
00:57:21monsieur de Trevelay
00:57:21will wait to hear
00:57:22our side of the
00:57:23story
00:57:23or
00:57:24to put it
00:57:25another way
00:57:26you're determined
00:57:27to wait for him
00:57:28so that you won't
00:57:29lose the bet
00:57:29we made
00:57:30it's entirely
00:57:33beside the point
00:57:34half a crown
00:57:36wasn't it
00:57:37it was a crown
00:57:38Aramis
00:57:39as well
00:57:40you know
00:57:41a few more
00:57:44minutes then
00:57:44I could never
00:57:49agree to such
00:57:50a dishonorable
00:57:51arrangement
00:57:51and if I see
00:57:53monsieur de Trevelay
00:57:54again I'll tell
00:57:55him exactly
00:57:55what you've been
00:57:56up to
00:57:57and what makes
00:57:59you think for
00:58:00one minute
00:58:01that Trevelay
00:58:01would believe
00:58:02one word you
00:58:03say
00:58:04without

01:00:55a battle

01:00:56musketeers

01:01:12d'artagnan
01:01:12very well
01:01:14d'artagnan
01:01:15let's see
01:01:16how well
01:01:16you fight
01:01:17let's see
01:01:47Let's go.
01:02:17Clean, gentlemanly duel, but I can't deny that was fun.
01:02:22Are we done here?
01:02:24Surely this was enough of a fight to satisfy even you, Aramis.
01:02:28Well, there is still the matter of the duel.
01:02:30What?
01:02:31This young man insulted us.
01:02:34Called us drunkards.
01:02:36Said he'd take on all three of us, if I remember correctly.
01:02:40So he did.
01:02:41But he's without sword.
01:02:43He can take mine.
01:02:43I'll stand aside until he has vanquished, the pair of you.
01:02:52What do you say, D'Artagnan?
01:02:54Are you really as brave as you made out?
01:03:01You're really going to do it?
01:03:03Take on three armed musketeers single-handedly?
01:03:06I'd say the odds are against you surviving.
01:03:12I said I would.
01:03:13And I never back down from a challenge, regardless of the odds.
01:03:22Relaxed, D'Artagnan.
01:03:23I was merely testing your mettle.
01:03:28I'm glad to know you really are as brave as you said you were.
01:03:31After all, dueling is illegal, you know.
01:03:34If you broke the law, we'd have to arrest you.
01:03:38Tell me, what was the purpose of your appointment with Monsieur de Trevelay the other day?
01:03:45I had hoped to join the musketeers.
01:03:47Perhaps we could request a meeting with Monsieur de Trevelay.
01:03:53Together with D'Artagnan?
01:03:56I suspect that once these fellows have woken up,
01:03:59Monsieur de Trevelay will be requesting a meeting with us.
01:04:02Come on, let's go before any reinforcements turn up.
01:04:05Don't you two have appointments to attend?
01:04:08I'm not sure I still have the energy.
01:04:11Perhaps you should send the boy in your place.
01:04:13He seems to have plenty of it.
01:04:15What's this about?
01:04:16Never mind.
01:04:22Finally!
01:04:23This story has some heroism!
01:04:25I should have known you'd be more interested by a fight in the street
01:04:29than any of the wisdom I'm attempting to impart to you.
01:04:33So, did the three of you go directly to Monsieur de Trevelay?
01:04:36Not directly.
01:04:37The first appointment we could get was for the following day,
01:04:41which fortunately allowed me time to return to my lodgings
01:04:44to wash away the smell of rotten vegetables.
01:04:48While I was there, something rather unexpected happened.
01:04:51Surely, no.
01:04:57M'lady?
01:05:01M'lady?
01:05:02If Rochefort finds out I am here...
01:05:08Please, sit down.
01:05:09No, there is no time.
01:05:10I am on my way to leave Paris for England on a dangerous mission.
01:05:14On Rochefort's behalf, I presume?
01:05:15Will you ever escape from his grasp?
01:05:16Perhaps.
01:05:17One day.
01:05:18Tell me.
01:05:18What's the hold he has over you?
01:05:19It is not Rochefort that has a hold of me.
01:05:20It is his eminence.
01:05:21The cardinal?
01:05:22Why?
01:05:23Why?
01:05:24I am young, D'Artagnan.
01:05:25Not much older than you.
01:05:26I am on my way to leave Paris for England on a dangerous mission.
01:05:27I am on my way to leave Paris for England on a dangerous mission.
01:05:28On Rochefort's behalf, I presume?
01:05:30Will you ever escape from his grasp?
01:05:32Perhaps.
01:05:33One day.
01:05:34Tell me.
01:05:36What's the hold he has over you?
01:05:38It is not Rochefort that has a hold of me.
01:05:41It is his eminence.
01:05:43The cardinal?
01:05:46Why?
01:05:49I am young, D'Artagnan.
01:05:51Not much older than you.
01:05:53But I have lived a long life.
01:05:59When will you return from England?
01:06:01I don't know.
01:06:03Maybe never.
01:06:06Which is why I came here.
01:06:08To see you one last time.
01:06:18I see something in you, D'Artagnan.
01:06:20A great spirit.
01:06:21A sense of great honesty and bravery.
01:06:25Something that is very rare in this world.
01:06:30If only things were different.
01:06:32Yes?
01:06:33If only I wasn't under the command of Rochefort.
01:06:38And if you were not enamored of the musketeers.
01:06:43Or if we were not on opposite sides of an unbridgeable divide.
01:06:48Yes?
01:06:51No.
01:06:53It's impossible.
01:06:55I must go.
01:06:56My being here puts both of our lives in danger.
01:07:01Will we ever meet again?
01:07:05I cannot say.
01:07:07Perhaps.
01:07:08Perhaps.
01:07:10But in case we don't.
01:07:20Take care of yourself, D'Artagnan.
01:07:23Goodbye to the lady.
01:07:24Let's say.
01:07:26Au revoir.
01:07:27We wanted to inform you as soon as possible, sir.
01:07:40Before you heard any lies from the...
01:07:43Before you heard any alternative versions of events from the Cardinal, sir.
01:07:48The second case of unruly behavior in as many days.
01:07:52Brawling in the streets like common thugs.
01:07:57You are aware, gentlemen, that the King's musketeers have a reputation to uphold?
01:08:03Yes, sir.
01:08:08We really are very sorry, sir.
01:08:11And that reputation is to be the best fighting force in all of France.
01:08:17For whom no one is a match.
01:08:21Least of all, a couple of the Cardinal's men.
01:08:24Why do you think I was so displeased with you last time?
01:08:28Because you lost the fight.
01:08:33But this! This!
01:08:36I've truly something heroic to tell the King.
01:08:39Well, he does like a good fight himself, especially if his men are winning.
01:08:43He is, after all, still a young man.
01:08:46But the Cardinal...
01:08:48I've heard nothing of this from the Cardinal.
01:08:51Which makes me believe that your suspicions that his men were up to no good were correct.
01:08:55If they had a legitimate claim on this young man, I'm sure I would have heard no end of it by now.
01:09:03The young man acquitted himself very well in the battle.
01:09:06Really?
01:09:07Yes.
01:09:08You'd be most impressed by his bravery.
01:09:11And sense of honour.
01:09:16Two days here in Paris.
01:09:18And already you have helped defeat four of the Cardinal's men.
01:09:22And won the praise from three of my best busketeers.
01:09:24If only I hadn't lost your letter from your father, I might have believed that you really were the son of Monsieur D'Artagnan.
01:09:36But I do have the letter, sir.
01:09:39It's right here.
01:09:41What's this?
01:09:43It's the letter from my father, sir.
01:09:52Monsieur D'Artagnan sent this rag to the captain of the King's Musketeers?
01:10:09Why the devil?
01:10:12This really is from Monsieur D'Artagnan.
01:10:15Sorry?
01:10:17How clever of him to remind me of the time that I delivered a letter for him in such a sorry state.
01:10:24He knew that only I would understand its meaning, making it totally useless to a spy.
01:10:31He did tell me that story.
01:10:33Wonderful, wonderful.
01:10:35I must tell the King about this, he'll be most amused.
01:10:37Well, gentlemen, perhaps you three, you four, should all come with me.
01:10:48Perhaps you are a queen after all.
01:10:50She is the most powerful piece on the board.
01:10:51She's only at her most effective at the hands of a skilled player.
01:10:55Otherwise, she can become surprisingly...
01:10:56...vulnerable.
01:10:57...vulnerable.
01:10:58How was it with D'Artagnan?
01:10:59How was it with D'Artagnan?
01:11:00Exactly as you'd imagine.
01:11:01How was it with D'Artagnan?
01:11:02Exactly as you'd imagine.
01:11:03Maybe you got your father and thelings in her house.
01:11:04Perhaps you are a queen after all?
01:11:07She is the most powerful piece on the board.
01:11:09She is only at her most effective at the hands of a skilled player.
01:11:15Otherwise, she can become surprisingly...
01:11:20...vulnerable.
01:11:24How was it with D'Artagnan?
01:11:25d'artagnan. Exactly as you'd imagine. You never fail me. Soon that boy will be completely
01:11:37under our control. As his eminence commands.
01:11:41I have a question sir. Yes. How is it you're able to relate in such detail conversations you were not
01:11:58party to such as between Rochefort and the lady? A good question. I later came to know Rochefort much
01:12:05better in different circumstances. He revealed a great many things which had previously been a
01:12:12mystery to me. Now if there's anything else you wish to ask. What became of the lady? I came to know
01:12:19much more of her as well. Oh yes. But those stories will have to wait till another time. My memoir is
01:12:25only partially complete. You must at least tell me what happened after your conversation with
01:12:29Monsieur de Trevelay. You really had an audience with the king. What you imagine happened. The king
01:12:35was so impressed he immediately declared me to be a musketeer and had me guarding the royal chamber
01:12:39within a week. He kindly provided me with the opportunity to spend two years in the academy
01:12:47training to be a musketeer just like everyone else. Although I will say my newfound friends
01:12:54Atos, Portos and Aramis made sure the years were filled with adventures of one kind or another.
01:12:59I soon came to know their various differences. Atos was always the most serious and considered
01:13:07of the three. Aramis always the most keen for action. And Portos, always the first to suggest
01:13:14a drink or a good meal. And where did you fit in amongst the three? I like to think I brought
01:13:18a little youthful vigour to the trio. It was all a long time ago, of course.
01:13:28Aramis went on to become superior general of the Jesuits. Portos married very well and became
01:13:36the Baron. Atos sadly fell from favour in his later years.
01:13:45Now, it's getting late. Perhaps we'll meet again, Philippe, in different circumstances.
01:13:52I'm not ready to leave yet, sir. Surely if my story has taught you anything, it is that there is no
01:14:00shortcut to becoming a musketeer. Perhaps. But it's also taught me something about you,
01:14:05d'Artagnan, which is that you never back down from a fight. You really intend to go through with this?
01:14:13Young boy. Against the captain of the king's musketeers.
01:14:23Wouldn't you have done the same at my age? You were prepared to duel three musketeers at once.
01:14:27At your age, I would have dueled an entire army if they challenged me. It doesn't make it a wise
01:14:32thing to attempt. My sword is raised, sir. Refuse me now when I will have no choice but to relay the news
01:14:38that the great d'Artagnan is no longer the man he once was. Perhaps too old and tired? Or afraid to take
01:14:47on a challenger? Afraid?
01:14:53I have given you enough of my time, boy. The only thing I am afraid of is the thought of having to
01:14:59wipe away the stain of your blood from my uniform. That's the spirit? You're finally starting to
01:15:06sound like the d'Artagnan of old. Now. Let's see if you still have the skills.
01:15:16Very well. I warn you, boy. A duel with me might prove fatal.
01:15:27Then if I survive, consider it a victory. If you survive, you can consider it a miracle.
01:15:36To go away.
01:15:58I did warn you, Philippe, that a duel with me might prove fatal.
01:16:17If I was afraid of death, I wouldn't have come here in the first place.
01:16:22Or perhaps you simply know, as a musketeer, I would never be so dishonorable as to kill an unarmed man.
01:16:40However, I could most certainly have you arrested, breaking in, making threats, starting a fight, you get two years at least.
01:16:52Or perhaps you would prefer to spend two years in the academy, training to be a musketeer, just as everyone else has to, including me.
01:17:12Yes, sir.
01:17:22I'm sure we'll meet again.
01:17:28And once my training was complete, Monsieur de Treville kindly granted me a few days' leave to visit my father in Gascony.
01:17:52Charles, I knew this day would come if only your mother could see you now.
01:18:14Did you follow my advice and stay out of trouble?
01:18:21As much as possible.
01:18:23Um, Monsieur de Treville, did he appreciate my letter?
01:18:29He got the gist of it.
01:18:31Well, in any case, I see it did the trick.
01:18:34Have you made any friends amongst the ranks?
01:18:36Yes, yes, uh, three in particular.
01:18:40Athos, Porthos, and Aramis.
01:18:42And, now I'm equal to them in rank, I'm considered the fourth.
01:18:46The fourth?
01:18:48The fourth what?
01:18:51The fourth musketeer, of course.
01:18:54The fourth?
