[ Church Bells Tolling ]
[ Men Shouting ]

TELL YOUR BROTHERS
TO LEAVE.

IS IT DONE ?

CAN YOU TRAVEL, WIFE ?
YES.

A FINE TIME FOR THE LORD
TO GIVE US A DAUGHTER.

JUST WHEN BURGUNDIAN WOLVES
ARE COMING.

-[ Shouting Continues ]
- PLEASE, JACQUES.

AT LEAST SONS
CAN WORK IN THE FIELD.

PLEASE. SHE DOESN'T CRY.
NO !

JACQUES, PLEASE !
[ Sobbing ]

JACQUES !

JACQUES !

THERE'S NO TIME !

ISABELLE, SAVE OUR SONS.
THE SOLDIERS ARE COMING.

THE SOLDIERS
ARE ALWAYS COMING--

BURNING OUR VILLAGES,
STEALING OUR FOOD !

BUT I WILL NOT
LOSE MY DAUGHTER TOO.

LOOK AT HER, JACQUES.
SHE'S BEAUTIFUL !

LOOK AT YOUR CHILD !
SEE WHAT YOU WOULD KILL !

[ Crying ]

[ Crying Continues ]
MOVE QUICKLY !

LEAVE NOTHING
FOR THE BURGUNDIANS. EVERYONE
AND EVERYTHING, TO THE FORT !

[ Man ]
MOVE IT ! MOVE IT !

[ Cooing ]

[ Man ]

[ Child Shouting ]

MAMA, JOAN IS HERE.

BOO !
[ Chuckles ]
[ Gasps ]

NO CLIMBING, JOAN.
HE CAN'T DO ALL THE THINGS
YOU CAN.

YOU HEAR ME ?
[ Chuckling ]
I HEAR YOU, MAMA.

SLOW DOWN, JOAN.
[ Bleating ]

IT'S TOO HIGH.
MAYBE ONCE IT WAS,

BUT NOW IT'S JUST
A SAD, BROKEN WALL.

I DON'T THINK
THIS FORTRESS IS SAD.

IT HIDES US WHEN
THE SOLDIERS ATTACK.

HIDING.
ALL WE DO IS HIDE.

ONE DAY WE'LL STOP HIDING.

WHEN THE MAID OF LORRAINE COMES
WITH 10,000 MEN
TO DRIVE THE ENGLISH OUT.

I CAN SEE
LORRAINE FROM HERE.
YOU CAN ?

YEAH, IT'S JUST BEYOND
THE RIVER.

CAN YOU SEE THE MAID ?
NO.

IT'S TOO FAR. AND ANYWAY,
NOBODY KNOWS WHAT SHE'LL
LOOK LIKE OR WHEN SHE'LL COME.

[ Both Gasp ]
WHEN DO YOU THINK
SHE'LL COME ?

I DON'T KNOW.
IT DOESN'T SAY.

WHAT DOES IT SAY ?
THAT FRANCE WILL BE DESTROYED
BY AN EVIL WOMAN,

BUT IT WILL BE SAVED
BY A YOUNG MAIDEN.

HMM ?

I HAVE NEVER SEEN YOU
SO REVERENT, DEAR CHILD.

IS THERE SOMETHING
YOU WISH TO CONFESS ?

NO.

IT JUST FELT WONDERFUL
TO PRAY.

COME.

I HAVE NEVER SEEN
SUCH PIETY...
AT AN EARLY AGE.

WHAT'S HAPPENING
IN THIS PICTURE,
FATHER MONET ?

THIS IS
THE BATTLE OF AGINCOURT.

ONE OF THE DARKEST DAYS
IN OUR HISTORY.

WHY DOES GOD
MAKE THE FRENCH SUFFER ?

COME. SIT DOWN.

WE SUFFER
AT THE HANDS OF MAN,
NOT GOD.

OUR QUEEN...

FROM ANOTHER LAND...

HAS DISOWNED HER SON...

AND GIVEN HER DAUGHTER
IN MARRIAGE
TO THE ENGLISH KING.

OUR QUEEN IS THE WOMAN
IN THE LEGEND-- THE ONE
WHO WILL DESTROY FRANCE.

COME.

THIS IS FRANCE.

WE ARE HERE.

THIS AREA IS OCCUPIED
BY THE ENGLISH INVADERS.

AND THIS...
IS BURGUNDY.

THE FRENCH MAKE PACTS
WITH THE ENGLISH.

SO ALL THIS FIGHTING...

IS TO DETERMINE...

WHO IS THE RIGHTFUL RULER
OF FRANCE.

[ Men Yelling ]
[ Horse Whinnying ]

I TELL YOU, EMILE,
I LOOK IN FRONT OF ME
AND ALL I SEE IS FRANCE.

SO HOW CAN BURGUNDY
CLAIM THIS PART
AND ENGLAND THAT PART,

WHEN IT'S ALL FRANCE...

AND WE'RE ALL FRENCH ?

FRANCE SHOULD BE WHOLE.

- WHAT'S HAPPENING ?
- THERE'S REFUGEES.

I THINK THEY'RE FROM
ANOTHER VILLAGE.

WE NEED FOOD, SHELTER.

THE SOLDIERS
HAVE BURNT EVERYTHING.

WE HAVE BARELY ENOUGH
FOR OURSELVES.
MOVE ON.

PLEASE !
THERE ARE THE CHILDREN !

WE HAVE NOTHING TO SPARE.
MOVE ON ! GO !

[ Villagers Pleading ]
HAVE PITY.

[ Man ] PLEASE !
[ Woman ]
MY CHILDREN ARE HUNGRY.

[ Pleading Continues ]

GO HOME.

HOME ! NOW !

I WANT YOU TO SIT
NEXT TO YOUR FATHER.

[ Jacques ]
MY DAUGHTER WILL MAKE
AN EXCELLENT WIFE.

WHAT A BOUNTIFUL MEAL !

YES.

ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE,
WITH PLENTY TO SPARE.

PRAISE GOD THERE IS ENOUGH,
THOUGH THERE'S NEVER
PLENTY TO SPARE.

NOT EVEN ONE CRUST OF BREAD
FOR A HUNGRY CHILD ?

NOT IF THE CHILD
IS PART OF A MOB.

ONE SMALL MERCY
WOULD CRACK THE DAM,
JOAN !

AND IN NO TIME
WE WOULD BE FLOODED.

THAT COULD HAVE BEEN US,
PAPA.

AND THEY WOULD TURN US AWAY,
AS THEY MUST.

THIS IS HOW IT IS.

YOUR DAUGHTER IS VERY...
OUTSPOKEN.

[ Chuckles ]

SHE'S YOUNG.
SHE'LL OUTGROW IT.

I WILL NEVER OUTGROW
SIMPLE DECENCY.

IT'S PEOPLE LIKE YOU
WHO DO NOTHING TO STOP
THE MISERIES OF THE WORLD.

JOAN.

- GET OUT.

[ Church Bell Tolling ]

[ Door Opens, Closes ]

DO YOU REMEMBER
SIX YEARS AGO...

WHEN YOU SAW ME KNEELING
IN THIS SPOT,
AND YOU SPOKE TO ME ?

MM-HMM.
AS IF IT WERE YESTERDAY.

YOU THOUGHT
IT WAS SUDDEN PIETY.
IT WASN'T.

I HAD HEARD A VOICE AS CLEARLY
AS I'M SPEAKING TO YOU NOW.

IT WAS SAINT CATHERINE.

AND HER VOICE WAS BEAUTIFUL,
SWEET AND SOFT.

AND--

SHE TOLD ME SHE WAS CHOSEN
TO GUIDE AND COUNSEL ME...

AND THAT I MUST LISTEN
TO WHAT SHE WAS TELLING ME,

BECAUSE IT WAS AT
THE COMMAND OF GOD.

I DIDN'T TELL YOU BEFORE
BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID.

WHAT HAVE THESE VOICES
SAID TO YOU ?

AT FIRST,
THEY JUST TOLD ME...

THAT I MUST BE A GOOD CHILD
AND GO OFTEN TO CHURCH.

BUT NOW THEY'RE
MORE INSISTENT...

AND THEY TELL ME THAT
I MUST PREPARE TO LEAVE,

AND THAT MY DESTINY
LIES ELSEWHERE.

AND WHAT DO THEY SAY...
IS YOUR DESTINY ?

THEY DON'T SAY.

BUT THEY MAKE ME UNDERSTAND
THAT OUR PEOPLE
HAVE LOST A SENSE OF HOPE.

TOO WILLINGLY
GIVING UP THEIR FREEDOM.

AND THAT I'M MEANT
TO LEAVE, AND--

-[ Man ] TAKE HEED !
- BURGUNDIANS.

TAKE HEED,
PEOPLE OF DOMREMY !

[ Villagers Shouting ]
TAKE HEED !

TAKE HEED, PEOPLE OF DOMREMY !
BURGUNDIAN SOLDIERS APPROACH !

FATHER, RING THE BELLS,
THE WARNING BELLS.
YES.

THEY WILL ATTACK BY MORNING !
TAKE HEED !
[ Shouting Continues ]

[ Joan ]
DAD ! MOM !

GO. GO QUICKLY.

RIDE TO VAUCOULEURS.
UH-HUH.

ALERT SIR ROBERT.
GO ! GO, GO !

WHAT ABOUT THE WATER ?

HAVE YOU SEEN EMILE ?
I THOUGHT HE WAS WITH YOU.

NO.
YOU WAIT HERE,
AND SEARCH THE RUINS.

I'M GOING BACK
TO THE VILLAGE.
NO, YOU MUSTN'T !

HE'S MY BEST
AND ONLY FRIEND.

THE VOICE WAS INSISTENT
ON THIS:

THE DAUPHIN CHARLES
NEEDS ME, AND I MUST
GO TO HIM IN CHINON.

GO TO HIM ? HOW ?

I DON'T KNOW, FATHER.
I DON'T KNOW.

[ Men Shouting ]

I, UH, GATHER
WE'RE A BIT LATE.

YES, SIR ROBERT.

JUST LATE ENOUGH
TO AVOID ANY DANGER.

JUST AS YOUR VILLAGE
AVOIDS PAYING TAXES.

YOU HAVE NOT
COLLECTED TAXES...

BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN
HIDING IN YOUR CASTLE
FROM THE BURGUNDIANS.

[ Laughs ]

IF YOU HAD ONE,
WOULDN'T YOU ?

JEAN, BE SO KIND AS TO TAKE
THAT LIVESTOCK TO THE KING...
IN CHINON.

GET DOWN FROM THERE.

THEY'RE GOING
TO CHARLES, FATHER.

[ Horse Whinnies ]

FOR A CAMP-FOLLOWING STRUMPET.

IS THAT WHAT
YOU'RE WANTING, GIRL ?

TO BE THE PLAYTHING
OF SOLDIERS ?

[ Laughter ]

BECAUSE YOU ARRIVED
IN THE IDEAL SPOT.

[ Laughter Continues ]

PLEASE, SIRE,
I OFFER NO TROUBLE
AND I WISH NONE IN RETURN.

MAY I PLEASE JUST CONTINUE
WITH THE ANIMALS TO CHINON ?

ALL THESE ANIMALS ARE GOING
NOWHERE EXCEPT TO THE BUTCHERS
INSIDE SIR ROBERT'S CASTLE.

SIR ROBERT SAID
THE LIVESTOCK...

WAS GOING TO THE DAUPHIN
IN CHINON.

ONE MAN'S PAMPERED STOMACH GETS
MORE BLOATED THAN THE OTHER.
WHAT CONCERN IS IT TO YOU ?

BERTRAND,
UNLOAD THE LIVESTOCK.

[ Sighs ]

I CAN SEE BY YOUR CLOTHING,
SIRE, THAT YOU ARE
A MAN OF SUBSTANCE.

I IMPLORE YOU THEN
TO UNDERSTAND...

THAT I MUST GO TO CHINON
TO SEE THE DAUPHIN,
BECAUSE HE NEEDS ME.

HE NEEDS YOU ?

I HAVE A MISSION
THAT'S GETTING CLEARER
BY THE HOUR.

YOU HAVE A MISSION.

I MUST HELP THE DAUPHIN
CLAIM HIS CROWN
AND UNITE THE PEOPLE OF FRANCE.

[ Chuckling ]

THEN I MUST TAKE YOU
TO MEET SIR ROBERT.

YOU SHALL MAKE YOUR CASE
TO HIM. COME.

THANK YOU, SIRE.

COME.

[ Door Closes ]
SIR ROBERT,
I PRESENT TO YOU...

THE MAID OF LORRAINE.

I, UM,
[ Clears Throat ]

UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'RE
ON YOUR WAY TO CHINON...

TO CROWN THE KING AND TO...

UNITE THE POOR WRETCHES
OF FRANCE.

MM-HMM.

[ Laughter Continues ]

SIR ROBERT,
SOMEONE MUST HELP THE KING
CLAIM HIS CROWN.

A-AND WHAT MAKES YOU THINK--
YOU POOR, SIMPLE GIRL--

THAT YOU WOULD SUCCEED WHEN
THE KING'S LOFTIEST ADVISORS
HAVE FAILED ?

BECAUSE I MUST.
JUST AS YOU, SIR ROBERT,
MUST SEND ME THERE.

SIR ROBERT.

THE DAUPHIN HOLDS
THE FUTURE OF FRANCE.

WHY DO YOU CALL HIM
"DAUPHIN" ?

CROWNED OR NOT,
CHARLES IS OUR KING
BY RIGHT OF BLOOD.

AND IF THIS
INACTIVE MONGREL
IS EVER GONNA BE KING,

WE HAVE TO START CALLING
HIM "KING" !

DON'T YOU THINK ?
I THINK HE HAS TO BELIEVE
HE IS KING.

HE HAS TO EARN IT.

- UH, JEAN ?
- HMM ?

- SEND HER BACK TO HER FATHER
FOR A SOUND BEATING.
- YES, SIR.

- PLEASE, SIR ROBERT--
- I SAID GO !

I SUGGEST YOU GO HOME.

UNLESS YOU WANNA SEE
THE BURGUNDIANS
DESTROY THIS PLACE TOO.

I THOUGHT BIGGER TOWNS
WOULD CONTAIN BIGGER MINDS.

I WAS WRONG.

[ Chattering ]

SO, YOU SLEPT HERE ALL NIGHT,
AND NOW YOU'RE HUNGRY,
HMM ? HMM ?

YES.

YOU LOOK STRONG ENOUGH
TO WORK.

COME WITH ME.

[ Chattering ]

[ Child Crying ]

-[ Man ]
I WANT SOME FOR MY SON !
-AND MY FRIEND !

NO !

SHE'S A CHILD.
SHE WON'T EAT MUCH.
YOU CAN WAIT.

SHH.

THAT ONE COULDN'T STOP CRYING
FOR TWO DAYS AND NIGHTS.

SHH, SHH. MAYBE HE JUST
LOST INTEREST IN CRYING.
SHH, SHH.

PEOPLE TODAY
STOPPED FIGHTING FOR SOUP.

NO, YOU HAVE A GIFT.

MOTHER BABETTE,

WHY HAVE
THE PEOPLE OF VAUCOULEURS
GIVEN UP HOPE ?

WHY DON'T THEY JUST SEEK HELP
IN ANOTHER VILLAGE ?

FROM WHERE, CHILD ?

EVERY CITY, VILLAGE, TOWN--

IT'S EACH MAN FOR HIMSELF.

I HAVE AN IDEA.

"TO THE GOOD FRENCH PEOPLE
OF EVERY TOWN AND VILLAGE...

WHO NEED SHELTER
OR FEAR ATTACK--"

I CAN'T WRITE
AS FAST AS YOU CAN TALK.

[ Laughter ]

[ Joan ]
"HELP US BUILD DEFENSES...

AGAINST THOSE
WHO WOULD DESTROY US."

WHAT'S YOUR NAME, BOY ?
NOEL, SIR.

NOEL, WHOSE NAME
IS ON THIS DECLARATION ?

NONE, SIR.

"TO THE GOOD FRENCH PEOPLE
OF EVERY TOWN AND VILLAGE...

"WHO NEED SHELTER
OR FEAR ATTACK,

"COME AND BE PROTECTED
WITHIN THE WALLS
OF VAUCOULEURS,

"AND HELP US BUILD DEFENSES
AGAINST THOSE
WHO WOULD DESTROY US.

BY DICTATE
OF THE MAID OF LORRAINE."

BY DICTATE
OF THE FAIRY TALE.

SHE'S NO FAIRY TALE.
SHE'S FLESH AND BLOOD.

A MAID FROM
THIS VERY REGION.

[ Man ]
THAT'S IT !
TAKE IT UP !

IF THEY ATTACK
FROM THE NORTHWEST,

WE'LL HAVE ALL OF THESE ARCHES
HERE TO PROTECT US.

WHERE ARE MY EGGS ?
MY EGGS.

WHERE ARE--
THERE ARE NO EGGS,
SIR ROBERT.

NOT SINCE YOU TURNED
THAT PEASANT GIRL AWAY.

SH-SHE STOLE MY HENS ?
THIEF.

THE HENS ARE HERE,
BUT THEY REFUSE TO LAY.

NOT ONE EGG
FROM THE LOT OF THEM.
OH !

SO NOW EVEN MY CHICKENS
TURN AGAINST ME, HUH ?

[ Villagers Shouting ]
[ Groans ]

WHAT THE DEVIL
HAVE THEY DONE TO MY CITY ?

IT'S THE GIRL, SIR.

PEOPLE HAVE COME
FROM EVERYWHERE
TO DEFEND US.

THEY SAY SHE'S
THE MAID OF LORRAINE.

[ Sir Robert ]
BRING HER TO ME.

[ Sir Robert Laughing,
Hysterically ]

[ Laughing Continues,
Quieter ]

Y-Y-YOU LOOK LIKE A--
YOU LOOK LIKE A MAN.

AND YOU LOOK LIKE
YOU'RE DRESSED
TO GO SOMEWHERE.

BUT I'M READY TO TRAVEL
TO CHINON.

AND TODAY'S THE DAY
YOU WILL SEND ME.

YOU'RE CRACKED TO THINK
THAT I WOULD SEND YOU
TO CHINON TO SEE THE KING.

A FEW DAYS AGO
YOU SENT ME AWAY FROM HERE.

BUT NOW TODAY,
HERE I AM AGAIN.

YOUR INVITED GUEST.

AND VAUCOULEURS
IS READY TO DEFEND ITSELF.

IT'S NOTHING THAT
COULDN'T HAVE BEEN
DONE BEFORE.

W-WHY ARE YOU JUST
STANDING THERE ?

I NEED TO WRITE !

I'M WRITING THAT...

IBELIEVE...
THAT YOU MAY BE
THE MAID OF LORRAINE.

SIR ROBERT, PLEASE.
I'M NOT THE MAID OF LORRAINE.

- DO YOU WANT TO GO OR NOT ?
DO YOU WANT TO GO ?
- YES.

I KNOW HOW TO TICKLE
A REGAL BRAIN.

AND WHAT YOU DO
WHEN YOU GET THERE...

IS UP TO YOU.

JEAN !
SIR.

YOU WERE SO KIND AS TO DELIVER
THIS YOUNG MAID TO ME.

THEREFORE,

YOU SHALL DELIVER HER
TO CHARLES.

SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED
BECAUSE OF YOU.

SIR ROBERT !

THE HENS !
THEY'RE LAYING !

MAY I CALL YOUR ATTENTION
TO THE SKIN ? VERY CRISP.
MMM.

AND THE MEAT, VERY TENDER.
IN A WORD: PERFECTION.

AH, YES, BERTRAND.
YOU NEVER FAIL TO...
IMPRESS YOURSELF.

I AGREE. I'M A MARVEL.

I'VE NEVER HAD FOOD
COOKED BY A MAN BEFORE.

IT'S EXPECTED THAT
A NOBLEMAN'S SQUIRE MIGHT DO
A BIT OF EVERYTHING.

I HADN'T MET A NOBLEMAN
NOR A SQUIRE UNTIL NOW.

SOMEONE DOUSE THE FIRE.
WE DON'T NEED BURGUNDIAN TROOPS
JOINING OUR BLANKETS.

WHOA.

MMM. YOU'RE RIGHT.
THE CHICKEN WAS TASTY.

[ Men Laughing ]

THANK YOU.

WHY FOR CHARLES ?
EXCUSE ME.

WELL, YOU'VE RUN AWAY
FROM HOME...

AND PUT YOURSELF IN DANGER,
ALL FOR A WOULD-BE KING
WHO CARES NOTHING FOR YOU.

I DON'T EXPECT HIM
TO CARE FOR ME.

I EXPECT HIM TO CARE FOR
THE FRENCH PEOPLE.
HIS PEOPLE.

YEAH, I KNOW.
NOTHING'LL CHANGE
UNTIL FRANCE AND BURGUNDY...

UNITE UNDER ONE KING
AND FORCE THE ENGLISH OUT.

- AND CHARLES
IS THEIR LAST HOPE.
- GOD HELP US ALL.

IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE
IN WHAT I'M DOING,
THEN WHY ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME ?

[ Chuckling ]
FOLLOWING ?

[ Chuckling Continues ]

YEAH, FOLLOWING.

I'M LEADING YOU, REMEMBER ?

AND ONCE
YOU'RE SAFELY IN CHINON,
I'M GOING HOME.

I'M NOT A PART
OF YOUR FANTASY.

WHERE ARE WE ?

ORLEANS.
THE GATEWAY TO WHAT'S LEFT
OF OUR COUNTRY.

SEE THE SMOKE
FROM THE VILLAGES ?

SOMEONE'S BURNING
THEIR WAY THERE.
THE ENGLISH.

ONCE THEY'VE TAKEN ORLEANS,

THEY'LL FINALLY BE ABLE
TO CROSS THE RIVER LOIRE.

FRANCE'S DOOM
WILL BE SEALED.

THEN WE HAVE NO TIME
TO LOSE.

I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO VISIT
THE LOIRE VALLEY.
NOT ONE OF MY BETTER IDEAS.

I THINK WE SHOULD TURN BACK.

THERE'S TWO WAYS TO CHINON:
ACROSS OR AROUND.

WE HAVE TO TAKE THE MOST
DIRECT ROUTE TO CHINON.

THIS IS MY CONVOY
AND MY RESPONSIBILITY
TO GET US TO CHINON, ALIVE.

WE'RE GONNA CAMP HERE
FOR THE NIGHT,

AND THEN IN THE MORNING
WE'LL TAKE THE ROUTE AROUND.

SIRE.

SHE'S GONNA GET US KILLED.

[ Child Crying ]

[ Villagers Chattering ]

[ Jean ]

I OWED IT TO YOU.

BUT NOW THIS--

CAN CHILL THE BONE AS DEEP AS
THE FOULEST WINDS OF SCOTLAND.

MMM. THEREIN LIES THE PROBLEM

[ Chuckles ]
NEVER SATISFIED.

WHY THIS URGENT VISIT ?

YOU DIVERTED TROOPS
FROM MY SIEGE AT ORLEANS
TO CHASE AFTER A GIRL.

NOT JUST "A GIRL,"
THE MAID OF LORRAINE.

DON'T EMBARRASS YOURSELF,
PHILLIP.

THE MAID OF LORRAINE
IS A FAIRY TALE,

A BEDTIME STORY
FOR CHILDREN...

AND SIMPLETONS.

THIS GIRL HAS THWARTED

NOW SHE MARCHES ON CHINON.

SHE MUST NOT GET

POOR LOUIS.

HE HAS NO ANGER
FOR RAYMOND.

HE'S JUST BLANDLY RIDING OFF,
DELIVERING THAT
PREPOSTEROUS MESSAGE.

HE BELIEVES
IN THAT MESSAGE,
AS HE DOES YOU.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT I'M GOING TO SAY.

YOU'LL KNOW IT
WHEN YOU NEED IT.

I GREW UP
IN SIR ROBERT'S CASTLE,

BELIEVING IT WAS THE WORLD,

WISHING THERE WAS MORE.

NOW I KNOW THERE IS,
AND I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR IT.

YOU'RE STILL LEAVING ?

I'M GONNA TAKE IT
AS IT COMES.

[ Chattering ]
???? [ Medieval ]

[ Laughing ]

???? [ Ends ]
[ Applause ]

IT'S NOT FAIR,
YOU KNOW ?

THE CHURCH HAS
SO MANY CLEVER MEANS
OF RAISING REVENUE.

THE MOST ENDEARING
IS THE PLENARY INDULGENCE--

PAYING TO RANSOM
POOR GRANDMAMA'S SOUL
FROM PURGATORY.

AND PEOPLE
ARE GRATEFUL TO PAY.

HIS MAJESTY SHOULD REALIZE
IT IS THE POWER
OF HOLY INTERCESSION.

I'M SPEAKING OF THE POWER
TO COLLECT MONEY !

IF I NEED REVENUE,
I MUST LEVY TAXES
AND PEOPLE COMPLAIN.

HIS MAJESTY CAN COLLECT REVENUE
BY FORCE.

THE CHURCH CAN COLLECT
ONLY THROUGH FAITH.
AH.

BUT IT IS YOU WHO WIELD
THE SHARPER SWORD. I CAN ONLY
FRIGHTEN THEM WITH PRISON.

YOU CAN FRIGHTEN THEM
WITH HELL.

AS HIS MAJESTY'S
SPIRITUAL ADVISOR,

I WOULD CAUTION THE KING
AGAINST FEELING TOO COMPETITIVE
WITH THE CHURCH.

SURELY HIS MAJESTY
DOES NOT MEAN TO DISPARAGE
OUR TAX-COLLECTING EFFORTS ?

CONSIDERING THE ENDLESS WAR,
THE LOSS OF TAXABLE LAND,

THE SLAUGHTER OF TAXABLE MEN...
[ Woman Laughing,
Loudly ]

AND THE COST OF AN ARMY
THAT DEPLETES OUR RESOURCES
WHILE LACKING THE WILL TO FIGHT,

I THINK WE DO RATHER WELL.

I CANNOT STAND
THAT WOMAN'S LAUGH.
HAVE HER REMOVED.

WHY DON'T YOU
SHOO AWAY ALL OF THESE...

OVER-COIFFURED TOADIES.

BECAUSE MY BODY WARMTH
IN THIS ROOM IS SO DRAFTY.

WHAT DID I DO ?

WHY US ?
THIS WAY.

SORRY, LADIES.
THANK YOU.

WAIT. NOT YOU.

[ Chattering Continues ]

FROM SIR ROBERT DE BAUDRICOURT
WITH SALUTATIONS AND FEALTY
TO HIS MAJESTY, CHARLES VII.

WELL, WELL.
DE BAUDRICOURT SENT US
THE MAID OF LORRAINE.

NOT PRECISELY FROM LORRAINE
BUT CLOSE ENOUGH
TO KEEP HER IN THE HUNT.

I'VE TRIED
THE MAID OF LORRAINE
PLOY BEFORE.

I'VE EVEN RECRUITED
A FEW CANDIDATES MYSELF,
BUT IT'S NEVER WORKED.

YOU WILL, OF COURSE,
NOT RECEIVE
THE LATEST CANDIDATE.

AND WHY NOT ?
THE CHURCH HAS LITTLE TOLERANCE
FOR SELF-PROCLAIMED ICONS.

YES, BUT IT'S DE BAUDRICOURT
WHO MAKES THE CLAIM.

THE GIRL'S POSITION
ON THE MATTER IS QUITE UNKNOWN
TO YOU, DEAR BISHOP.

PERHAPS I WILL SEE HER.

AS HIS MAJESTY'S
CHURCH-APPOINTED
SPIRITUAL ADVISOR,

I ADVISE HIS MAJESTY
NOT TO TAKE LIGHTLY...

THE ADVICE
OF HIS CHURCH-APPOINTED
SPIRITUAL ADVISOR.

AND AS HIS MAJESTY'S
MILITARY ADVISOR,

I HAVE ALWAYS
OPPOSED THE MAID
OF LORRAINE TACTIC.

TOYING WITH
PEOPLE'S FANTASIES
IS A TRICKY BUSINESS.

BUT WHAT IF
THIS ONE'S CREDIBLE ?

DE BAUDRICOURT ENDORSES HER,
AND HE'S NO FOOL.
[ Sighs ]

IF SHE WEARS THE PART WELL,
THE PEOPLE MIGHT RALLY,
THE TROOPS MIGHT RALLY.

EVEN I MIGHT RALLY.

WE COULD FINALLY BUDGE
FROM THIS GIANT CHAMBER POT
AND GO WHERE WE BELONG.

RHEIMS.

[ Guests Murmuring ]

SHE DID COME ALL THIS WAY.
NO SENSE BEING RUDE.

THE ESTEEMED
SIR ROBERT DE BAUDRICOURT
HAS SENT US A GIRL...

HE CLAIMS TO BE
THE MAID OF LORRAINE,
ON A MISSION FROM GOD.

- [ Guests Gasping ]
- BUT OUR EMINENT BISHOP...

RIGHTFULLY INSISTS
UPON PROOF.

SO, WE WILL PUT HER TO THE TEST
IN FRONT OF THE ENTIRE COURT.

YES. YOU, LE TREMOILLE,
WILL BE SEATED ON THE THRONE,

AND I SHALL BE MINGLING
WITH THE ASSEMBLAGE.
[ Guests Laughing ]

IF SHE FERRETS THE TRUE KING,
SHE WILL HAVE PROVEN HERSELF
DIVINELY INSPIRED.

HIS MAJESTY'S--
HOW SHALL I PUT IT--
BOYISH DEMEANOR IS LEGEND.

SHE'LL SPOT YOU AT ONCE.
AND THEN ?

AND THEN--

WON'T IT BE FUN ?
[ Guests Laughing ]

[ Scoffs ]
BISHOP, DON'T BE SO DREARY.

IF NOTHING ELSE,
THE CROWN WILL FIND IT
MIRACULOUS.

IT WILL REINFORCE
THEIR FAITH IN GOD.

AND WHAT'S WRONG
WITH THAT ?

THERE MAY BE NO HARM
IN SEEING THE GIRL.

ONLY THE GIRL.

[ Chattering Continues ]

[ Whispers ]
SHE'S DRESSED LIKE A BOY.

WHAT IS YOUR NAME,
CHILD ?

I'M JOAN d'ARC OF DOMREMY,
YOUR WORSHIP.

MAY I SPEAK TO THE DAUPHIN ?

HMM.

ALONE ?

[ Chuckles ]

SHALL I BID THE OTHERS GO ?

PULL THE DOOR SHUT
WHEN YOU LEAVE, EH, BISHOP ?

MY DAUPHIN,

I'VE BEEN SENT BY GOD
TO TELL YOU THAT YOU MUST
CLAIM YOUR CROWN...

AND UNITE THE PEOPLE
OF FRANCE.

AND WHY DO YOU IMAGINE
GOD HAS CHOSEN YOU
FOR THIS HOLY MISSION ?

I DON'T KNOW.
BUT I DO UNDERSTAND
WHY HE'S BEEN SO INSISTENT.

THE ENGLISH HAVE BEGUN
A SIEGE AT ORLEANS.

IF THE SIEGE FALLS,
YOU WILL NEVER GET TO RHEIMS
AND YOU WILL NEVER BE THE KING.

DO YOU PRESUME TO THINK
THAT THIS IS NEWS TO ME ?

- THEN WHY HAVEN'T YOU SENT
YOUR ARMY TO RAISE THE SIEGE ?
- I CAN'T.

I HAVEN'T THE MONEY
OR THE MEANS.

BESIDES, NO ONE BELIEVES
IN FRANCE ANYMORE.

THEY'RE TIRED OF FIGHTING.

YOU MUST HAVE FAITH,
MY DAUPHIN, AND THE PEOPLE
OF FRANCE WILL FOLLOW.

THEY'RE HUNGRY FOR SOMEONE
TO BELIEVE IN.

I SAW IT AT VAUCOULEURS.

DO YOU KNOW THEY RALLIED
BEHIND ME?

A FARM GIRL ?
THEY WILL RALLY BEHIND YOU.

THAT HAS NOT BEEN THE CASE.

WHY DO YOU CLAIM TO BE
THE MAID OF LORRAINE ?

I'M NOT THE MAID OF LORRAINE,
MY DAUPHIN.

[ Sarcastically ]
NO !

OF COURSE YOU'RE NOT THE MAID,
BUT PEOPLE SAY YOU ARE. WHY ?

BECAUSE THEY NEED SOMEONE
TO BELIEVE IN, MY DAUPHIN.

WHY DO YOU CALL THE KING
"DAUPHIN" ?

THAT IS THE TITLE GIVEN
TO THE RIGHTFUL HEIR
OF THE THRONE.

CLEVER.

IT'S NOT EASY BEING KING
WHEN PEOPLE NEITHER
LOVE YOU NOR FEAR YOU,

JUST FOLLOW YOU,
BECAUSE YOU'RE ALL
THEY HAVE.

GOD WANTS YOU TO BE KING,
MY DAUPHIN.

I ALWAYS THOUGHT
I WOULD BE A GOOD KING.

LIFT THE SIEGE AT ORLEANS.
GO IN TRIUMPH TO RHEIMS !

ACTUALLY,
THERE MIGHT BE ONE WAY.

THE ARMY WOULD NEVER FOLLOW
THE DAUPHIN, BUT THEY WOULD
FOLLOW THE MAID OF LORRAINE.

- BUT I'M NOT THE MAID.
- YOU'LL HAVE TO LEARN
TO STOP SAYING THAT.

- I DON'T KNOW
HOW TO LEAD AN ARMY.
- YOU'LL HAVE TO LEARN.

YOU'LL BE SURROUNDED
BY KNIGHTS AND COMMANDERS.

YOU WON'T HAVE TO DO MUCH,
JUST-- JUST BE THE MAID.

- MY GOD DID NOT SEND ME
FOR THIS.
- HOW DO YOU KNOW ?

COULDN'T THIS
BE GOD'S PLAN ?

YOU WERE SENT HERE
TO CONVINCE ME TO CLAIM
MY CROWN. I'M CONVINCED.

BUT ORLEANS
STANDS IN THE WAY.

I CAN'T RALLY AN ARMY
TO LIFT THE SIEGE,
BUT THE MAID OF LORRAINE CAN.

- GOD WOULD NOT WANT ME
TO LIVE SUCH A LIE.
- BUT IS IT A LIE ?

IF GOD HAS SENT YOU
TO LEAD THE FRENCH ARMY
TO VICTORY,

THEN MIGHT THAT STAND TO REASON
THAT YOU ARE THE MAID ?

OR... WERE YOU NOT REALLY
SENT BY GOD ?

I WAS SENT BY GOD,
MY DAUPHIN, I ASSURE YOU.

I'LL NEED PROOF.

CAN YOU GIVE ME A SIGN ?

[ Chattering ]

IT'S BEEN HOURS !
WHAT CAN THEY POSSIBLY
BE TALKING ABOUT ?

SHE'S THE ONE !
SHE'S THE ONE
WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR.

GOD HAS SENT HER
TO LEAD MY ARMY.

A RATHER IMPULSIVE STATEMENT,
YOUR MAJESTY.

SHE SHOWED ME A SIGN--
A SIGN FROM GOD !

- WHAT SIGN ?
- I'M SWORN TO SILENCE.

SURELY A MAN AS DEVOUT
AS YOU WOULDN'T EXPECT ME
TO BREAK A VOW TO GOD.

IF ONLY WE COULD BE CERTAIN
OF HER PURITY.

THE CHURCH
IS THE BEST ARBITER
OF SUCH THINGS.

WE CAN SEND HER TO
THE CONVENT OF POITIERS
TO BE EXAMINED.

PRECISELY.
POITIERS
IS A PERILOUS JOURNEY.

WHICH IS WHY YOU WILL
ACCOMPANY HER WITH AN
ARMED ESCORT, DEAR FRIEND.

[ Guests Murmuring ]

MY MISSION CONTINUES.

THEN SO DOES MINE.

[ Cheering ]

WHAT IF SHE FAILS ?

IF SHE FAILS, SHE'S JUST
A DERANGED FARM GIRL.

WHAT IF SHE SUCCEEDS ?

[ Latin Hymn ]

[ Woman ]
WE OBSERVE THAT SHE IS CHASTE.

[ Man ]
WHAT IS THE EXTENT
OF YOUR LEARNING ?

[ Joan ]
I DO NOT KNOW A FROM B.

- WHAT DO YOUR VOICES TELL YOU ?
- THAT IT IS GOD'S WILL
TO DELIVER THE PEOPLE OF FRANCE.

[ Man ]
IF IT BE GOD'S WILL, THEN
THERE IS NO NEED FOR SOLDIERS.

[ Joan ]
SOLDIERS WILL FIGHT, AND GOD
WILL GIVE THEM A GREAT VICTORY.

[ Men ]
WE FIND NOTHING HERETICAL IN
HER CLAIMS TO DIVINE GUIDANCE.

[ Men ]
WE FIND IN HER ONLY
ARDENT FAITH, HONESTY.

NONE HAS THE RIGHT
TO REJECT THIS MAID.

[ Shouting ]
WHO ARE ALL
OF THESE PEOPLE ?

[ Man ]
THE MEN THAT RESPONDED
TO THE KING'S CALL FOR TROOPS...

TO FOLLOW
THE MAID OF LORRAINE.

[ Shouting ]

RAISE YOUR ARMS, JOAN.

RAISE THEM HIGH.

[ Shouting Intensifies ]

ALL I DID WAS
RAISE MY ARMS,

AND THOUSANDS OF MEN
SHOUTED OUT WITH
ONE SINGLE VOICE.

YOU COULD HAVE
STOOD ON YOUR HEAD
AND GOTTEN THE SAME RESULT.

THEY WERE EAGER
TO BELIEVE.

MOTHER BABETTE,
DO YOU BELIEVE I'M
THE MAID OF LORRAINE ?

I BELIEVE IN THE GIRL
INSIDE THE COSTUME,

AND I THINK SHE SHOULD
BELIEVE IN HERSELF
AND NOT IN LEGENDS.

WHY DID YOU AGREE
TO JOIN ME ?

YOU HAVE THE PUREST HEART
OF ANY CHILD I'VE EVER KNOWN.

AND I FEAR WHAT MEN
MIGHT DO WITH THAT.

I'M NOT AFRAID.

WHICH IS WHY I AM.

[ Men Laughing ]

THAT'S HER.
THERE'S THE MAID.

[ Man #1 ]
YOU DAMN NOBLES
ARE ALL ALIKE.

YOU NEVER BRING ME IN
UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE.
I OUGHTA DOUBLE MY FEE.

[ Man #2 ]
YOU'LL HAVE A FINE
CHANCE FOR RICHES,

CONSIDERING YOUR ARCHENEMY
HAS TAKEN LES TOURELLES--
SIR WILLIAM GLASDALE.

CAPTURE HIM, AND HE'LL
FETCH A GREAT PRICE.

[ Man #1 ]
IF I MEET UP WITH GLASDALE,
I PROMISE YOU,

YOU CAN SELL HIM OFF
IN PIECES.
[ Clears Throat ]

WELL.

SHE CERTAINLY
LOOKS THE PART,

IF THERE IS A SHE
UNDER ALL THAT.

- AND WHAT PART ARE YOU, SIR ?
- THIS IS CAPTAIN LA HIRE.

I'VE ENGAGED HIM TO LEAD
THE MISSION TO ORLEANS.

TO LEAD ?

DON'T WORRY.
YOU'LL BE OUT FRONT
FOR ALL THE CHEERING.

BUT AROUND HERE,
GROWN MEN COMMAND.

IF YOU'LL EXCUSE US,
MY DEAR, THE CAPTAIN
AND I HAVE WORK TO DO.

I'M LEAVING TOMORROW.
LEAVING ?

YOU WON'T BE WITH US
IN ORLEANS ?

HIM ?
HE'S A MILITARY ADVISOR.

HE SENDS
OTHER PEOPLE OFF TO DIE.

[ La Hire Chuckles ]

SHOULDN'T YOU
BE IN BED, CHILD ?

I WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S
BEING PLANNED FOR MYSELF AND
THE MEN WHO'VE COME TO FIGHT.

YOU MAY STAY OR YOU MAY GO,

BUT BE QUIET.

THE CAPTAIN NEEDS
TO CONCENTRATE, MY DEAR.

WE KNOW THE ENGLISH
HAVE TAKEN LES TOURELLES.

THEY'VE PRACTICALLY CLOSED
THE CIRCLE AROUND ORLEANS.

BUT THIS NEWS
IS THREE DAYS LATE.

IT TAKES ABOUT
FOUR DAYS TO GET THERE.

WE HAVE...

12,000 MEN,
HALF OF THEM USELESS.

THAT LEAVES US
WITH A FORCE--

PARDON ME.
I'VE MADE THIS JOURNEY.

WE CAN'T GET THERE
IN FOUR DAYS...

WITH ALL THE LIVESTOCK
FOR THE TROOPS
AND THE PEOPLE OF ORLEANS.

WE ONLY TAKE
ENOUGH LIVESTOCK
TO FEED THE TROOPS.

OUR OBJECTIVE IS
TO RAISE THE SIEGE,
NOT TO FEED THE MASSES.

WELL, HOW LONG
WILL IT TAKE ?

A WEEK TO TRAVEL ?
ANOTHER TO PREPARE ?

AND THEN HOW LONG TO WIN ?
IF WE DON'T FEED THEM,
THEY WILL DIE.

MY DEAR, YOU ARE NEITHER
A COMMANDER NOR A SOLDIER.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO...

IS PLAY THE MAID AND TRY
NOT TO GET YOURSELF KILLED.

I'M NOT PRETENDING, SIR.

I'M HERE BY THE WILL OF GOD,
WITH THE AUTHORITY OF THE KING
AND THE BLESSINGS OF THE CHURCH.

AND I SAY THAT THE PEOPLE
OF ORLEANS MUST BE FED.

THE CIRCLE'S ALMOST CLOSED.
WE'D BETTER HURRY.

YES. WE NEED
TO ATTACK NOW.

THE SOUTHWEST GATE
IS STILL FREE.
WE CAN GET THE FOOD INSIDE.

- UNDER A HAIL OF ARROWS
FROM ENGLISH ARCHERS ?
- THEY WON'T ATTACK.

LOOK AT THOSE CAMPFIRES.
THE ENGLISH HAVE GROWN LAZY.
THEY'RE NOT PREPARED TO FIGHT.

IF WE GO INSIDE PEACEFULLY,
THERE'S NOT EVEN A CHANCE
THAT THEY CAN REACT.

THEN WE CAN MAKE OUR PLANS
FROM INSIDE ORLEANS.

I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS.

I DON'T TAKE ORDERS
FROM WOMEN OR CHILDREN,
AND YOU'RE BOTH.

GO BACK HOME
OR STAY OUT OF MY WAY.

YOU WANT TO COMMAND
THIS ARMY WITHOUT ME ?
GO AHEAD.

THERE'S NOT A SINGLE SOLDIER
WHO'LL RISK HIS LIFE FOR YOU
IF I'M NOT BY YOUR SIDE.

YOU'RE MY CAPTAIN,
CAPTAIN.

WE DO THIS TOGETHER.

ALL RIGHT, BUT HALF THE ARMY
WILL STAY BEHIND
TO COVER OUR TRACKS.

DUMETTS, KEEP THE MEN
READY TO CHARGE
IN CASE WE GET IN TROUBLE.

IF WE GET INSIDE--
IF WE GET INSIDE--

STAY HERE, WAIT FOR
THE SIGNAL TO ATTACK.

SIR.

JEAN WON'T BE
GOING WITH US ?

WHAT COULD IT BE ?

I DON'T KNOW, BUT THERE'S
A BLOODY GREAT LOT OF THEM.

GET SIR WILLIAM !

IDIOT.

YOU JUST LET THE MAID OF
LORRAINE INTO ORLEANS.

PREPARE FOR BATTLE !

IT MUST BE.

[ Indistinct ]

YOU'D BETTER OPEN
THE SOUTH GATE.

CLOSING RANKS.
THEY'RE GETTING READY FOR US.

SUPPOSE IT'S TOO LATE
TO TURN BACK ?

[ Joan ]
"SIR WILLIAM GLASDALE
AND MEN-AT-ARMS...

"SURROUND
THE CITY OF ORLEANS.

"YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE
IN THIS KINGDOM OF FRANCE.

"THE KING OF HEAVEN SENDS YOU
WARNING THROUGH ME,
JOAN THE MAID.

"IF YOU OBEY,
I SHALL GRANT YOU MERCY.

IF YOU REFUSE, I SHALL RAISE
A WAR CRY AGAINST YOU THAT
WILL BE REMEMBERED FOREVER."

[ Chuckles ]

"IF YOU REFUSE, I SHALL RAISE
A WAR CRY AGAINST YOU THAT
WILL BE REMEMBERED FOREVER."

I SHALL NOT WRITE FURTHER.

AND WHO DO YOU THINK...

YOU'RE GOING TO SEND
TO DELIVER THIS ?

HMM ?
NOT ONE OF MY MEN.

MAYBE ONE OF GOD'S ANGELS
WILL TAKE IT FOR YOU.
[ Men Laughing ]

THEY ARE, AFTER ALL,
ALREADY IN HEAVEN.

I'LL TAKE IT.

FOR RAYMOND.

IF I DON'T RETURN,

GIVE THIS TO OUR MAMA.

I PROMISE.

WHAT THEY DO
TO THAT BOY--

YOU FILLED HIM
WITH RIGHTEOUS NONSENSE.

THEY WON'T KILL HIM.
HE'S WORTH A RANSOM.

THE FRENCH CAN ALWAYS BE
COUNTED ON TO PAY.

[ Joan ]
WE SHOULD'VE HEARD
FROM THEM BY NOW.

WE NEED TO ATTACK
AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

NO, WE MUST GIVE THE ENGLISH
A CHANCE TO LEAVE PEACEFULLY.

LEAVE ?
PEACEFULLY ?

LOOK AT THEM.

WITH EACH PASSING MOMENT
THEY BECOME MORE ORGANIZED,

MORE PREPARED TO FIGHT.

WE STILL HAVE AN ADVANTAGE:
5,000 MEN ON THE SOUTH BANK
OF THE LOIRE.

WE MUST STRIKE NOW.

IF THERE'S EVEN
A CHANCE OF WINNING
WITHOUT SHEDDING BLOOD,

THEN WE HAVE TO
TRY IT, CAPTAIN.

[ La Hire ]
LISTEN TO ME.

I WAS AT AGINCOURT.

I'VE SEEN THE ENGLISH
AT THEIR BEST.

WE WERE 4,000 STRONG.

THE GLORY OF FRANCE.

THERE WERE MEN ON HORSES
AND HEAVY ARMOR,
OUR BANNERS HELD HIGH.

WE RODE TO MEET
THE ENGLISH INVADERS.

BUT IT HAD RAINED
ALL NIGHT...

AND THE FIELD OF BATTLE
WAS MUDDY.

AND THE MUD
ENSNARED OUR HORSES...

AND OUR MEN.

THERE WERE ONLY
500 OF THEM,

BUT THEIR ARMOR
WAS LIGHTER...

AND THEIR METHODS--

THEIR METHODS.

THEY SLAUGHTERED US
LIKE PIGS.

EVEN AFTER
WE HAD SURRENDERED.

WE SHOULD STRIKE
HARD AND FAST, CAPTAIN.

BUT NOT THE SMALLER FORTS.
WE SHOULD WIN
LES TOURELLES FIRST.

IT'S A FORTRESS.
IT'S DESIGNED
TO KEEP PEOPLE OUT.

BUT THE ENGLISH GOT IN.

IT'S OUR FORT. WE BUILT IT.
SURELY WE CAN FIND
SOME WEAKNESS.

FIND ONE,

AND I'LL CONSIDER IT.

[ Door Closes ]

-IS THERE ANYONE WE CAN TALK TO?
-NO. WELL, THERE WAS.

VICTOR THE GATEKEEPER.

HE GREW UP HERE.
HE LIVED IN
LES TOURELLES, BUT--

WHAT ?

HE HAS THE PLAGUE.

KEEP THIS ON.
YOU MUSTN'T TAKE IT OFF.

AND TOUCH NOTHING.
YOU HEAR ME ? NOTHING.

AND THIS CLOAK,
BURN IT AS YOU ARE LEAVING.

FOR GOD'S SAKES, CHILD,
BE CAREFUL.

DON'T WORRY,
MOTHER BABETTE.

I'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

I'D HEARD YOU'D COME,

BUT I WASN'T SURE.

NOW YOU KNOW.

DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ?
WALLS ?

THE WALLS ARE HIGH AND STRONG.
NO WEAKNESSES.

- WE WERE VERY PROUD
OF THAT.
- THE ENGLISH.

- HOW DID THEY GET IN ?
- TRICKERY.

DEAD OF NIGHT,
THEY HID,

FOOLED THE MEN INTO
LOWERING THE DRAWBRIDGE.

THEY SWARMED INSIDE.
THERE WAS NOTHING
WE COULD DO.

[ Coughs ]

THERE MUST BE
A WEAKNESS,

SOMEWAY TO GET IN
THAT NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT.

IT'S IMPENETRABLE,
LIKE A STONE CHIMNEY.

CHIMNEY ?

WAS THERE EVER A FIRE ?
NO.

NO. WE WERE VERY CAREFUL.

THERE WASN'T EVEN
STRAW ON THE GROUND.

THE RAMPARTS,
WHAT ARE THEY MADE OF ?

WOOD.

THANK YOU,
VICTOR,

FROM ALL OF
YOUR COUNTRYMEN.

THANK YOU.--
DEAR MAID ?

YES ?

BLESS ME.

[ Gasps ]

GOD BRINGS YOU PEACE.

THANK YOU, VICTOR.

THANK YOU.

THAT'S IT.
THIS WILL PROTECT YOU.

THANK YOU,
MOTHER BABETTE.

OKAY, THEY'RE BEDDING THE HORSES
DOWN INSIDE LES TOURELLES.

WE NEED TO SET FIRE
TO THE HAY.

THE SMOKE WILL FORCE THEM
TO LOWER THE DRAWBRIDGE.

WHERE WE'LL BE WAITING
FOR THEM OUTSIDE.
MAKE SENSE ?

WE WILL TAKE
LES TOURELLES FIRST.

DON'T GET SO EXCITED.

HOPING TO GET A FLAME
OVER THE WALL...

INTO A BALE OF HAY IS--

IT'S LIKE TRYING TO PREDICT
WHERE LIGHTNING WILL STRIKE.

BUT IT'S A GOOD PLAN.
IF IT WORKS.

IT'S A GOOD PLAN.

BUT WHILE YOU'RE PLANNING IT,
THE REST OF US
WILL FIGHT LIKE SOLDIERS.

THEN PROMISE ME THAT
WE WILL WAIT ANOTHER DAY
FOR THEIR RESPONSE.

JOAN, LOOK.

[ Men Murmuring ]

[ Bell Tolling ]

PETER ! PETER !
WHAT'S HAPPENING ?

WE'RE PREPARING FOR BATTLE.
CAPTAIN LA HIRE'S ORDERS.

- WHERE IS HE ?
- HE'S WITH
CAPTAIN DUNOIS.

I THOUGHT WE HAD
AN AGREEMENT, CAPTAIN.

[ Bell Tolling ]

EXPLAIN THAT TO THEM.

THERE'S THE ANSWER
TO YOUR LETTER.

THEY'RE SENDING
FOR REINFORCEMENTS.

WE ATTACK NOW.

HE'S HOTHEADED.
HE'LL LEAD US TO OUR DEATHS.

HE'S SURVIVED MANY BATTLES.
HE MUST KNOW
WHAT HE'S DOING.

HAS HE EVER FOUGHT
A BATTLE FOR GOD ?

WHO KNOWS HOW GOD
CHOOSES HIS SOLDIERS ?

LOOK AT US, HMM ?

[ Horse Whinnies,
Man Grunts ]

LET'S SEE WHAT
THIS BOY HAS TO OFFER.

- HOW MUCH LONGER
DO WE HAVE TO WAIT ?
- UNTIL WE HEAR THE SIGNAL.

WHAT IF THE TRUMPETER'S
LIPS ARE FROZEN ?

THEN YOU'LL BE SPARED
FROM COMBAT, OLD FRIEND,
AND LIVE TO SEE ANOTHER DAY.

RIGHT NOW, DYING AND GOING
TO HELL SOUNDS VERY COZY.

DIDN'T MEAN THAT.
YOU'RE AFRAID,
BERTRAND ?

NEVER SEEN YOU AFRAID.

IT WAS A LONG TIME AGO SINCE
I TRAINED TO BE A KNIGHT.

DIDN'T SUCCEED,
AND NOW I'VE FORGOTTEN
WHAT I KNEW.

IT'LL ALL
COME BACK TO YOU,

THE MOMENT YOU SEE THOSE
RAMPARTS LINED WITH...

ROWS AND ROWS
OF ENGLISH ARCHERS.

I SHOULD'VE WORKED HARDER
AT BECOMING A KNIGHT.

THEN YOU WOULD NOT HAVE BECOME
MY SQUIRE, AND I WOULD NOT
HAVE KNOWN TRUE FRIENDSHIP.

DON'T BE SENTIMENTAL, JEAN.
YOU SCARE ME OUT OF MY WITS.

WE HAVE TO GET
INTO BATTLE POSITION.

- WHAT ABOUT THE SIGNAL ?
- THERE'S YOUR SIGNAL.

[ Whistles ]
EVERYBODY, BATTLE POSITIONS !

LET'S GO !

DOMINOS PROBISCUM.

IN NOMINE PATRIS,
ET FILII,

ET SPIRITUS SANCTI.

AMEN.

YOU DIDN'T PRAY,
CAPTAIN.

WHOA.
I DON'T NEED PRAYERS.

I'VE WATCHED BRAVE MEN PRAY
TO LIVE, AND DIE IN AGONY.

AND I'VE WATCHED
WOUNDED MEN PRAY TO DIE,
AND HAVE TO LIVE IN AGONY.

I WATCH MY OWN BACK.

AND NOW,
MAYBE EVEN YOURS.

[ Man ]
FORWARD !

[ Horses Whinnying ]

SOUND THE TRUMPET !

THERE'S NO NEED.
LOOK.

MEN !
[ Shouting, Indistinct ]

OH, MY GOD.

THEIR LADDERS
MUST NOT REACH THE WALL.

THE FLAME
MUST STRIKE HERE.
I CAN DO THAT.

AS SOON AS WE SET FIRE
WE MUST FIND LOUIS,
OR HE'LL SUFFOCATE.

YES, SIR.

THESE MEN ARE WILLING
TO DIE FOR YOU.

PERHAPS YOU SHOULD
SAY SOMETHING TO THEM.

BE OF GOOD HEARTS,
MY FRIENDS !

TODAY, OUR NOBLE KING
WILL HAVE A GREAT VICTORY...

BECAUSE WE ARE GUIDED
BY THE KING OF HEAVEN.

WE'RE ALL IN GOD'S HANDS.

EVEN THOSE WHO CHOOSE
TO THINK OTHERWISE.

FOR GOD
AND FRANCE !

WE HAVE TO FIND LOUIS.

I AM THE MAID.

GO IN PEACE,

GOD HAS BLESSED ME
WITH HEALTHY SONS...

WHO HAVE TAKEN
FOR THEMSELVES

WELL, TWO OR THREE
SO FAR.

NEXT WILL BE
OUR PIERRE.

TO THE SONS.

JACQUES d'ARC.

TO MY SISTER JOAN.

THE MAID OF LORRAINE.

[ All Laughing ]

TO THE WIVES OF MY SONS.

THOUGH THEY BE NOT
OF MY FLESH,

THESE TWO YOUNG LASSES ARE MORE
DAUGHTER TO ME THAN ONE WHO
THINKS SHE'S AS GOOD AS A MAN...

AND BETTER THAN
HER OWN BLOOD.

WHERE HE WANTS US.

AND BY GOD, IT'S
UP TO US TO STAY THERE
AND MAKE THE BEST OF IT.

- THE FIRE. LET'S GO.
- GLASDALE IS MINE !

LET'S GO !

- I'LL GO FOR LOUIS.
- GET ME OUT OF HERE !

LET ME OUT ! HEY !

GET THAT FIRE OUT !

MOVE THE HORSES !
MOVE THEM OUT !

LET'S GET THEM
OUT OF HERE.

IT'S SPREADING.
WE HAVE TO LOWER
THE DRAWBRIDGE.

NOT UNTIL
I GIVE THE SIGNAL.

MORE WATER !
GLASDALE !

THERE ARE
TWO MEN HERE. HELP.

YOU DIE
WHERE YOU STAND !

FOR AGINCOURT !

HELP ! HELP ME !
OVER HERE !

KICK IT !

HEY !

GET HIM !
GET HIM !

GLASDALE !

COME OUT THAT
I MAY SEND YOU TO HELL.

NO !

RELEASE HIM !

[ Men Cheering ]

[ Shouts ]

YOU SAVED MY LIFE.

BUT YOU TOOK AWAY
MY HONOR.

THE HONOR OF KILLING
ANOTHER MAN ?

KILLING THAT MAN,
IT'S WHAT I'VE LIVED FOR.

IS THAT SORT OF HONOR
WORTH DYING FOR, CAPTAIN ?

YES.

THEN THE SUM OF YOUR LIFE
WOULD HAVE BEEN JUST THAT.

HOW MANY MEN DIED
YESTERDAY, CAPTAIN ?
ON BOTH SIDES.

ONE THOUSAND ?

FIVE THOUSAND ?

WHAT DID YOU EXPECT ?

A HOLY WAR
IS STILL A WAR.

WERE THOSE WHO
FOUGHT FOR ENGLAND
ANY LESS NOBLE...

THAN THOSE WHO
FOUGHT FOR FRANCE ?

YOU'RE ASKING ME ?

NO, CAPTAIN.

I'M ASKING GOD.

GUARDS ARE CALLING
FOR YOU, AND WILL
NOT BE PACIFIED.

IT'S THE KING'S GLORY,
NOT MINE.

COME. IT'S EVERYONE'S
VICTORY, AND IT WILL
BE OVER IN A FEW HOURS.

SURELY THIS IS EASIER
THAN YOUR DAY AT ORLEANS.

IN SOME WAYS, DEAR BISHOP,
I WISH THIS WERE ORLEANS.

THERE I HAD A PURPOSE.
I KNEW MY PLACE.

I HAD A DICTATE FROM GOD
TO LEAD MY ARMY TO VICTORY,
AND I DID.

DOING GOD'S WORK IS NOT
ALWAYS SO ROUSING,
ALL GRAND.

YOU MAY FIND
THAT THE HARDEST THINGS
YOU ARE CALLED UPON TO DO...

WILL BE THE QUIET ONES,
THE ONES THAT HAVE
NO TRIUMPHS.

SUCH AS LIVING AT COURT
OR STANDING BEHIND
YOUR KING...

OR SIMPLY BEING
A SYMBOL.

I KNOW A GOOD DEAL
ABOUT ALL OF THAT.

BUT THIS WORK IS EVERY BIT
AS IMPORTANT AS THE OTHER,

AND IT HAS ITS REWARDS,
MY CHILD.

YOU CAN LEARN
TO READ AND WRITE.

YOU CAN LEARN
THE DISCIPLINE
OF A RELIGIOUS ORDER...

SO THAT YOU
MAY BE WORTHY TO KNOW
THE TRUE WILL OF GOD.

BISHOP, I ALREADY KNOW
THE TRUE WILL OF GOD.

HE INSTRUCTS ME DIRECTLY
THROUGH HIS VOICES.

YOUR CONVICTION THAT THESE
VOICES ARE A DIRECT COMMUNION
WITH THE LORD OUR GOD...

IS NOT ONLY NAIVE
BUT DANGEROUS.

YOU ARE VERY YOUNG.

LACKING RELIGIOUS TRAINING
AND THE GUIDANCE
OF THE CHURCH,

YOU ARE INCAPABLE
OF JUDGING THE PURITY
OF THESE VOICES.

YOU CANNOT, MUST NOT,

PUT YOUR TRUST IN THEM.

WHY NOT ?

BECAUSE IT IS HUMAN NATURE
TO BELIEVE IN THE DIVINITY
OF THE MESSENGER...

RATHER THAN THE MESSAGE.

THIS COULD LEAD YOU
TO THE SINS OF
ARROGANCE AND PRIDE...

AND, IPSO FACTO,
CORRUPT THE MESSAGE.

THEN WHAT ABOUT POITIERS ?
THE CHURCH EXAMINED ME.

THEY SAID THAT MY VOICES
WERE REAL, A MIRACLE.
YOU SAID SO YOURSELF.

AND SO THEY ARE.

YOUR BELIEF IN YOUR VOICES
HAS GIVEN FAITH TO OTHERS.

IN THE EYES OF THE CHURCH,
THAT WHICH PRODUCES FAITH
IS A MIRACLE.

BUT IT DOES NOT MEAN...

THAT YOUR VOICES
WERE FROM GOD.

DEAR GIRL.

I SENSE IN YOU
AN EXCELLENT MIND.

I ENTREAT YOU TO RISE ABOVE
THE SIMPLE THINKING
OF A COUNTRY GIRL.

IF YOU ARE
TO DO GOD'S WORK,

YOU MUST STRIVE
TO UNDERSTAND
THE DIFFERENCE.

THEN EVERYTHING'S
BEEN A LIE.

YOU SAID MY VOICES
WERE A MIRACLE,

SO PEOPLE BELIEVED
IN THIS MIRACLE AND IN ME.

DON'T JUDGE HARSHLY.

COME.

JOIN YOUR KING
ATOP THE STEPS
OF THE CATHEDRAL.

AND FROM THERE,

LOOK INTO THE FACES
OF ALL THE BELIEVERS...

WHO HAVE COME TO HONOR
YOUR INCREDIBLE ACHIEVEMENT.

AND THEN YOU WILL SEE
YOUR MIRACLE.

[ Cheering ]

[ Woman ]
JOAN ! JOAN !

[ Cheering Loudly ]

FROM ALL OVER FRANCE
FOR THIS GREAT OCCASION.

YOU CAN'T IMAGINE
HOW FAR SOME PEOPLE
HAVE COME.

AH !

LET ME SEE YOU.

YOU MUST BE
FEELING BETTER.

WAS IT ALL
THE EXCITEMENT ?

GOD.
IT WAS EXCITING.

HOW'S MAMA ?

PAPA ?
THEY'RE DOING WELL.

EVERYBODY LOOKS UP
TO THEM NOW.

STRANGERS PASS THROUGH
JUST TO SEE THE HOUSE
WHERE YOU ONCE LIVED.

I MUST THINK
OF SOMETHING FOR YOU
TO BRING HOME TO MAMA.

I WON'T BE GOING HOME.

WHY ?
I DIDN'T HAVE
THE COURAGE TO TELL THEM,

BUT I WANT
TO JOIN THE ARMY
AND FIGHT BESIDE YOU.

- NO, PIERRE.
- BUT WHY ?

- NO !
- I'LL MAKE A GREAT SOLDIER.

-I WILL. I'LL PROVE TO YOU--
-IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT.

YOU PROBABLY WANT TO FIGHT,
BECAUSE YOU THINK
THAT IT MEANS SOMETHING.

AND YOU THINK THAT
WHAT I DID WAS GLORIOUS.

IT'S JUST WHAT THEY
WANT YOU TO THINK.

THE ONES WHO USED ME,
AND I LET THEM.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING ?

BECAUSE OF YOU,
WE FINALLY HAVE A KING.

AND FRANCE
IS NO LONGER A DREAM.

I'VE HEARD PEOPLE CALL
THEMSELVES FRENCHMEN.

NOT ONE TOWN,
NOT ONE REGION,
BUT THEIR COUNTRY.

AND YOU DID THAT.

WE ALL THINK
YOU DID IT FOR US.

ARE WE WRONG ?

NO, YOU'RE RIGHT.

I AM ALWAYS
FOR THE PEOPLE.

I JUST NEEDED YOU
TO TELL ME THAT.

NO, DON'T LUNGE !

I SURRENDER.

PIERRE'S GOING TO BE
THE BEST SOLDIER
IN ALL OF FRANCE.

YOU DON'T LOOK
LIKE SOMEONE ON THE WAY
TO HER BANQUET.

BECAUSE I'M NOT.

WELL, THE KING
WAS QUITE INSISTENT.
YOUR PRESENCE IS IMPORTANT.

PEACOCKS FLOCKING
THEIR LATEST FEATHERS.

I HAVE NO REASON
TO ATTEND.

SUPPOSE I GAVE YOU
A REASON ?

WHAT ?

CHARLES HAS MADE
A TREATY WITH PHILLIP,

GIVING HIM
THE DISTRICT OF CHAMPAGNE.

ISN'T DOMREMY
RIGHT ON THAT BORDER ?

????
[ Guests Chattering,
Laughing ]

???? [ Tambourine ]

[ Applause ]

THE CROWN IS
ON HIS MAJESTY'S HEAD.

YET THE JEWELS ARE ON
THE TIP OF HIS TONGUE.

[ Applause Continues ]

- MAID JOAN.
- YES ?

[ Chattering Stops ]

WE NEED YOU
TO SETTLE A QUESTION.

WHEN SAINT CATHERINE
AND SAINT MARGARET
COME TO YOU,

DO THEY HAVE
ARMS AND LEGS ?

OR DO THEY FLOAT
ABOVE THE GROUND ?

- [ Laughter, Applause ]
- THEY'RE AS COMPLETE IN BODY
AS THEY ARE IN SPIRIT.

[ Murmuring,
Scattered Laughter ]

YOUR MAJESTY,
WHAT WOULD YOU CALL A BAKER...

WHO SLICES HIS CAKE
WHILE IT'S STILL IN THE OVEN ?

[ Murmuring ]

I WOULD CALL HIM...
NOT A BAKER.

[ Laughter, Applause ]

WHAT WOULD YOU CALL A KING
WHO SLICES UP HIS KINGDOM...

WHILE OTHERS ARE FIGHTING
TO UNITE IT FOR HIM ?

[ Murmuring ]

YOUR MAJESTY,

WHY WOULD FRANCE
SIGN A TREATY
WITH BURGUNDY ?

I FOUGHT TO UNITE
ALL OF FRANCE,

NOT TO MAKE PACTS
WITH ITS BITS AND PIECES.

BURGUNDY
HAS PROMISED US PARIS,
OUR BELOVED CAPITAL.

AND THEY HAVE AGREED
TO A ONE-MONTH CESSATION
OF CONFLICT.

YES, BUT PHILLIP WILL USE
THE TIME TO FORTIFY PARIS,
NOT TO RETREAT FROM IT.

YOU OVERSTEP YOURSELF.
IT IS NOT YOUR PLACE TO QUESTION
THE KING'S AUTHORITY.

IT IS GOD'S WILL
THAT FRANCE IS UNITED.

NOT EVEN THE KING HAS
THE RIGHT TO CHALLENGE
GOD'S AUTHORITY.

I WILL STRONGLY
COUNSEL THIS GIRL
OR ANY UNENLIGHTENED MORTAL...

AGAINST STATING WHAT IS
OR IS NOT GOD'S WILL !

AND WHAT IF GOD
SPEAKS FOR HIMSELF ?

OH. YOUR VOICES, YES ?

ANSWER ME, CHILD.
HOW ARE WE TO RELY ON THEM ?

YOU CAN TRUST
EXPERIENCE.

[ Murmuring ]

CAPTAIN LA HIRE.

HAS MY COUNSEL
EVER BEEN WRONG ?

NO, MY FRIEND.

NOT YET.

BUT PERHAPS YOU COUNT
TOO MUCH ON YOUR VOICES.

GOOD SOLDIERING
WAS AS RESPONSIBLE
FOR YOUR SUCCESSES...

AS ANY PRAYERS.

AND I WORRY
ONE DAY YOU WILL CALL
GOD'S NAME AND CHARGE,

AND THERE WILL BE
NO ONE THERE
TO WATCH YOUR BACK.

YOUR MAJESTY,

LET ME MARCH ON PARIS
WITH MY BRAVE ARMY
OF FRENCHMEN...

AND DEFEND WHAT
IS RIGHTFULLY OURS.

- YOU PRESUME
TO ORDER THE KING ?
- NOT ORDER.

ENTREAT
IN THE NAME OF GOD.

- YOU PRESUME
TO SPEAK FOR GOD ?
- NOT FOR HIM, FROM HIM.

YOU ARE PERILOUSLY
CLOSE TO HERESY.

- WHEN DID TRUTH BECOME HERESY ?
- ALL HERETICS BELIEVE
THEY SPEAK THE TRUTH.

DOES THAT INCLUDE BISHOPS ?

[ Guests Gasping ]
YOU ASK FOR
ETERNAL DAMNATION !

[ Gasping Continues ]

WELL, IF SHE'S A HERETIC,
WHAT DOES THAT MAKE ME ?

[ Laughter, Applause ]

IT MUST BE MADE CLEAR
TO ALL HERE PRESENT...

THAT I WOULD NEVER...

KNOWINGLY BREAK
A LAWFUL AGREEMENT,

NO MATTER HOW GRATEFUL
I AND ALL OF FRANCE
ARE TO YOU,

NO MATTER HOW MAGNIFICENT
IT WOULD BE...

TO HAVE
A TRULY UNITED COUNTRY.

BUT WE ARE
DEEPLY TOUCHED...

BY THE LOYALTY
THAT BEATS IN THE HEART
OF THIS VIRTUOUS SUBJECT.

[ Applause ]

[ Woman Whispering ]
WHAT'S SHE GOING TO DO ?
[ Man ] ATTACK PARIS.

CHARLES' TREATY
WITH BURGUNDY WAS
A DEATH WARRANT FOR CHAMPAGNE.

AT THE MOMENT,
THOUSANDS OF FRENCH LOYALISTS
ARE BEING SLAUGHTERED.

IF WE WELCOME YOU,
WE CAN DO IT
WITH A SIMILAR FATE...

THE NEXT TIME CHARLES
NEEDS A PAWN IN HIS GAME.

YOU'RE FRANCE'S CAPITAL.
YOU MUST SET AN EXAMPLE.

PARIS MUST SWEAR
ALLEGIANCE TO CHARLES.

PARIS' ONLY ALLEGIANCE
IS WITH THE CITIZENS
OF PARIS.

WE, THE ALDERMEN OF THIS
GREAT CITY, COMMAND YOU
TO LEAVE US IN PEACE.

COMMAND ?

YOU DARE COMMAND
JOAN THE MAID ?

WE WILL ENTER PARIS
BY ANY MEANS.

BE WARNED.
THE CITY IS WELL ARMED.

THE MEN OF PARIS,

EVERY SOLDIER,
MERCHANT AND TAILOR,

WILL RISE AGAINST YOU.

DON'T RESPOND.
LEAVE YOURSELF ROOM.

TELL THE TAILORS
TO PUT DOWN THEIR NEEDLES
AND TAKE UP THEIR SWORDS.

THE ARMY OF GOD
IS AT HAND.
[ Horse Whinnies ]

NO. WE ATTACK
AT DAWN.

- ARE YOU SURE
ABOUT THIS ?
- YES.

BUT IT'S A SUNDAY.
IT'S A SACRILEGE
TO FIGHT ON THE LORD'S DAY.

THE BURGUNDIANS
MAY YET RETURN.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT GOD
WOULD WANT US TO WAIT.

YOU SEEM TROUBLED,
CAPTAIN.

YES, I'M TROUBLED.
ATTACKING PARIS IS MADNESS.

THE WALLS ARE TOO HIGH.
OUR LADDERS MAY NOT
EVEN REACH THE TOP.

AND AS FOR ME,
I'M PAID TO FIGHT SOLDIERS,
NOT TRADESMEN.

ARE YOU STILL, AFTER ALL,
JUST A MERCENARY ?

PARIS IS NEITHER
AN ENEMY NOR A THREAT.

OUR LORD SAID,
"HE WHO IS NOT WITH ME
IS AGAINST ME."

WITH JESUS ?
OR WITH JOAN ?

IF YOU DON'T
BELIEVE IN ME, LEAVE.

[ Sighs ]
AT AGINCOURT,

I LOST MY FAITH IN MY COUNTRY.

I CAME TO BELIEVE IN MYSELF.

AT ORLEANS,
I LOST MY FAITH IN MYSELF.

I CAME TO BELIEVE
IN YOU.

WE ARE NOW BOTH
UTTERLY ALONE.

ONLY I HAVE
THE COURAGE TO ADMIT IT.

I WILL ASSUME HIS COMMAND.

???? [ Woman Singing In Latin ]

????

????

????

- WE'RE GETTING SLAUGHTERED !
- WE HAVE TO FALL BACK, JOAN !
WE MUST !

NO ! MOVE FORWARD !

???? [ Woman, Choir Together ]

????

????
NO !

????

LIGHT UP THE NIGHT,
SIR BERTRAND.

I REGRET HAVING MISSED
SPIRITED CONVERSATION...

BETWEEN YOURSELF
AND OUR DEAR YOUNG MAID.

MOST SPIRITED
IN THE TELLING, NO DOUBT,
THAN IN THE ACTUALITY.

NO DOUBT.

I'VE BEEN GIVING
MUCH THOUGHT...

TO THE PASTORAL NEEDS
OF OUR BRETHREN
IN THE NORTH.

THE DISTRICT OF COMPIEGNE
IN SPIRITUALLY DEFICIENT.
BURGUNDY...

IS FURTHER DEPRIVED
BY ITS LACK OF A BISHOP.

NOW, IT STRIKES ME
THAT THEY COULD BENEFIT
FROM THE MORAL AUTHORITY...

OF A PRELATE
NOT UNLIKE YOURSELF.

I'M HONORED BY
THE ARCHBISHOP'S ENDORSEMENT,

BUT I AM QUITE CONTENT
WITH MY APPOINTMENT
TO THE KING'S COURT.

I WAS NOT, IN FACT,
SOLICITING YOUR OPINION
ON THE MATTER.

I'M TRANSFERRING YOU
TO BEAUVAIS IN THE DISTRICT
OF COMPIEGNE.

YOU WILL HENCEFORTH
BE THEIR BISHOP.

I'M BEING SENT INTO EXILE.

MY WORDS AGAINST THE MAID
HAVE EMBARRASSED THE CHURCH
THAT SANCTIONED HER.

THE CHURCH NEEDS YOUR
SERVICES IN THE NORTH,
MY DEAR CAUCHON.

[ Screams ]

WHAT HAVE I DONE ?

WHAT HAVE I DONE ?

IN THIS WICKED GAME,
I HAVE BUT ONE CARD
LEFT TO PLAY.

I MUST MAKE IT COUNT.
SHE'S ASKED FOR LEAVE
TO VISIT HER FAMILY.

- YOU'VE GIVEN HER
NO REPLY.
- I HAVE NO REPLY.

UNTIL WE'VE
CLEANED UP HER MESS,
JOAN IS TO STAY AT COURT.

I MAY STILL NEED HER.

PLEASE GIVE ME A SIGN.
[ Sniffles ]

PLEASE GIVE ME A SIGN.

I'VE DONE EVERYTHING
THAT YOU ASKED.

WHAT DID I DO WRONG ?

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

PLEASE GIVE ME A SIGN.

[ Screaming ]
WHY DON'T YOU ANSWER ME ?

NOBLE ADVERSARIES,
I'VE COME TO APOLOGIZE.

WE PROMISED YOU PEACE,
AND, WELL, IT HAS NOT
QUITE GONE AS WE'D HOPED.

YES.
QUITE.

LET US ADDRESS THE TREATY
YOU BROKE WHEN YOU SENT
THE MAID TO ATTACK PARIS.

I WAS AS SHOCKED AS YOU.
SHE'S A HEADSTRONG GIRL,
THIS JOAN,

AND SO
IMMENSELY POPULAR.

- WHERE IS THIS LEADING ?
GET TO THE POINT.
- THE POINT, SIR,

IS THAT I HAVE COME
TO PROPOSE A 30-DAY
CESSATION OF CONFLICT...

AMONG OUR THREE FACTIONS.

THIS TIME
NO EXCEPTIONS.

AND WHAT, MAY ONE ASK,
WOULD BE THE BENEFIT
FOR BURGUNDY ?

AND ENGLAND ?

IN YOUR TERRITORIES ARE
CITIES STILL LOYAL TO ME.

IF THERE'S A TREATY,
I WOULD NOT BE ABLE
TO DEFEND THEM, WOULD I ?

THERE WOULD BE NOTHING
TO STOP YOU
FROM TAKING THEM.

YOU'RE VERY KIND.

BUT WHAT'S TO PREVENT
OUR TAKING THEM ANYWAY ?
WHAT THEN ?

THEN I PROMISE...

THAT YOU HAVE NOT YET SEEN
THE FULL POWER OF THE MAID.

YOUR MAJESTY, THE CITIES
YOU HAVE JUST CONDEMNED WILL
SEND APPEALS FOR YOUR HELP.

AND WHEN I IGNORE THEM,
THEY WILL TURN TO THE MAID.

TELL JOAN SHE MAY LEAVE COURT
TO VISIT HER FAMILY.

AND WHEN SHE RETURNS,
WE WOULD LIKE TO CONFER
A VERY SPECIAL HONOR.

MAMA.

I BID YOU GODSPEED,
DEAR BISHOP.

YOU ARE THE MOST CUNNING MAN
I HAVE EVER KNOWN.
PERHAPS THE MOST RUTHLESS.

YOU HAVE BETRAYED ME
FOR JOAN, AND YOU WILL
BETRAY HER AS WELL...

ONCE SHE HAS
OUTLIVED HER USE.

[ Chuckles ]
OH, YOU SPEAK NONSENSE,
OLD FRIEND.

JOAN IS THE MAID.
DO YOU FORGET ?

SHE IS GOING TO UNITE
ALL OF FRANCE...

BEHIND ME.

POOR DELUDED JOAN.

SHE HAS NO IDEA
SHE HAS PUT A MONSTER
ON THE THRONE.

THOSE ARE MY LAST WORDS
AS YOUR MAJESTY'S
SPIRITUAL ADVISER.

[ Thunder Rumbling ]

CAN I HELP, MAMA ?
OH, NO. SIT.

NO. YOU'RE A GUEST.
WHAT IF I DON'T WISH
TO BE A GUEST ?

NO.

YOU LEFT THIS
OUTSIDE.

I FED YOUR HORSE.
BEAUTIFUL ANIMAL.

IT'S A SIMPLE MEAL,
BUT IT'S HEARTY.

ISABELLE,
STOP MAKING APOLOGIES
FOR THE WAY WE LIVE.

IS THE KING'S COURT
AS BEAUTIFUL AS THEY SAY ?

WELL, NOTHING IS
AS BEAUTIFUL AS HOME.

I WISH YOU HAD
SAID THAT TO PIERRE.

PIERRE MADE
HIS OWN CHOICES, PAPA.

HE FOLLOWED A DREAM,
YOURS.

YOU STILL CALL ME A DREAMER
AFTER ALL I'VE--
AFTER ALL YOU HAVE DONE ?

[ Chuckles ]
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE ?

BEYOND MAKING YOURSELF
INTO AN IDOL.

I'VE PLEDGED MY LIFE
TO UNITE FRANCE.

- AND SACRIFICED YOUR BROTHER
IN THE BARGAIN.
- DON'T SAY THAT.

HE WAS MY SON.

WHAT DO YOU WANT
FROM ME ?

I WANT FORGIVENESS.

NO.

THESE WORDS I GATHER.

I BEG FORGIVENESS
FOR THE SIN OF PRIDE.

PLEASE BRING ME ABSOLUTION
FROM OUR LORD GOD
AND FROM MY FATHER.

PLEASE RETURN TO ME,
DEAR PATRON SAINT.

PLEASE GIVE ME GUIDANCE
AND SHOW ME THE WAY
TO MY DESTINY.

[ Voices Speaking,
Indistinct ]
???? [ Woman Vocalizing ]

[ Voices Continue ]
???? [ Continues ]

I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED
BEAUVAIS TO HAVE
A GRANDER CATHEDRAL.

GOD RESIDES HERE,
NEVERTHELESS,

WITH ROOM ENOUGH
FOR VISITORS,
EVEN THE ENGLISH REGENT.

AND MY PERSONAL CHAPLAIN.
WE HAVE A RELIGIOUS QUESTION
THAT YOU MIGHT SETTLE.

I NEED TO APPREHEND
AND ELIMINATE
A CERTAIN VILLAINOUS GIRL.

BUT SHE MUST BE
DESTROYED IN NAME
AS WELL AS BODY.

I...

HAVE HEARD
THAT YOU MAY REGARD
THIS SELFSAME GIRL...

AS A HERETIC.

SO I FIND MYSELF WONDERING,
MIGHT THE CHURCH BE HELPFUL
IN THIS MATTER ?

THE CHURCH DOES NOT KILL.

[ Laughs ]
THE INQUISITION IS BURNING
HERETICS BY THE BUSHEL.

THE INQUISITION MERELY
LOCATES DEAD BRANCHES
ON THE TREE OF MOTHER CHURCH...

AND THEN BRINGS IN
CIVIL AUTHORITIES
TO DO THE PRUNING.

MEANING YOU WOULD
AGREE TO TRY HER.

WERE SHE TO BE CAPTURED
IN MY DIOCESE,

MY DUTY WOULD BE
TO FIGHT FOR THE SALVATION
OF HER IMMORTAL SOUL.

I WOULD EXPECT
NOTHING MORE OR LESS.

YOU'RE LEAVING BECAUSE
I DENIED YOU FORGIVENESS.

NO, PAPA.

I'M LEAVING BECAUSE...
I HAVE A CALLING.

BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT
GOD MEANT FOR ME TO DO.

BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT
I'M COMPELLED TO DO.

AS PIERRE DID WHAT
HE WAS COMPELLED TO DO.

PAPA.

I'M AFRAID TO LEAVE.

EVEN MORE
THAN I WAS BEFORE.

YOU WILL BRAVELY FACE
WHATEVER LIFE HANDS YOU.

HOW COULD YOU NOT ?
YOU ARE A DAUGHTER
OF JACQUES d'ARC.

BE WELL,
MY DAUGHTER.

BE WELL.

YOU'VE CHANGED.

MY COUNSEL HAS
TOLD ME THAT MY WORK
IS NOT YET FINISHED.

THEY RETURNED TO YOU ?
YES.

THEY TOLD ME THAT
CHARLES WILL BETRAY ME.

AND THAT HE MUST DO THIS
SO THAT HE CAN
FULLY BE KING.

MY DARKEST TIME
LIES AHEAD.

IT'S ALL PART
OF GOD'S PLAN.

AND EVERYTHING
WILL BE FINE IN THE END.

[ Knocking At Door ]

I, UH, ENCOUNTERED
A MESSENGER...

WITH A LETTER FOR YOU
FROM THE CITIZENS
OF COMPIEGNE.

- CAN YOU READ IT ?
- YES.

"TO BLESSED JOAN THE MAID
FROM THE CITIZENS
OF COMPIEGNE.

"HEAR OUR CRY.
PHILLIP HAS INVADED.
HIS TROOPS ARE UPON US.

"WE HAVE WRITTEN
MANY PLEAS TO THE KING
WITHOUT REPLY.

SAVE US, DEAR MAID, FROM
THE WRATH OF THE BURGUNDIANS,
IN THE NAME OF GOD."

AH, SO IT BEGINS.

[ Footsteps Departing ]

[ Charles ]
THOUGH YOU WERE BORN
A COMMON GIRL,

YOUR COURAGE AND VIRTUE
ARE SURPASSED BY NONE.

IT IS ONE OF THE GREAT
MYSTERIES OF THE WORLD,

THE NOBILITY OF BIRTH IS
OFTEN ACCORDED MORE CREDIT
THAN NOBILITY OF CHARACTER.

BUT AS KING,
I HAVE THE POWER
TO ALTER THAT INEQUITY.

JOAN, WHO IS SOMETIMES
CALLED JOAN d'ARC...

AND THE MAID OF LORRAINE,

WE DO HEREBY CONFER
UPON YOU THE TITLE
OF NOBLE OF THE REALM...

WITH ALL OF THE RIGHTS
AND PRIVILEGES OPPORTUNE
THERETO.

AND IN GRATITUDE,
THE CROWN EXEMPTS
FOR 300 YEARS HENCE...

ALL TAXES
ON THE VILLAGE OF YOUR BIRTH.

AND THE TITLE SHALL PASS ON
TO ALL OF YOUR DESCENDANTS,

SO YOUR NAME WILL LIVE ON
WELL AFTER YOU.

KNEEL, JOAN.

FROM THIS DAY ONWARD,

YOU SHALL BE KNOWN
AS JOAN DE LIS.

THE FLOWER OF FRANCE.

NOW RISE.

[ Applause ]

[ Applause Continues ]

????

[ Joan ]
YOUR MAJESTY.

WHY DO YOU IGNORE THE PLIGHT
OF YOUR LOYAL SUBJECTS
IN COMPIEGNE ?

IT'S NOT A CHOICE.

I WAS FORCED TO SIGN
A TREATY AFTER OUR LITTLE
MISADVENTURE IN PARIS.

AND EVEN IF I WERE
TO CHOOSE TO VIOLATE IT,

I-- I HAVEN'T
THE RESOURCES.

OUR TROOPS ARE ALL
FIGHTING UP NORTH.
OUR FINANCES ARE DEPLETED.

OUR CITIES ARE OVERRUN
WITH REFUGEES AND PLAGUE.

I'VE DISCOVERED
THAT GETTING THE CROWN
IS ONE MATTER,

BUT KEEPING IT
IS QUITE ANOTHER.

I'M STILL COMMANDER
OF YOUR ARMY.

WHY DON'T YOU SEND ME
TO LIBERATE THEM ?

YES. YES,
I MUST DO RIGHT
BY ALL MY SUBJECTS,

WHATEVER THE RISK.

THY KING
IS VERY COMPASSIONATE.

- HOW QUICKLY CAN YOU LEAVE ?
- AS SOON AS AN ARMY
CAN BE ASSEMBLED.

I'M AFRAID ALL I CAN SPARE
IS A SMALL ARMY OF 200.

BUT I WILL SEND
FOR CAPTAIN LA HIRE...

TO BRING A LARGER ARMY
FROM THE NORTH.

YOU CAN RENDEZVOUS
AT COMPIEGNE.

IT WILL BE GOOD
TO FIGHT AGAIN,

WITH THE RIGHT MEN,
FOR THE RIGHT REASONS.

WELL, THEN.

YOUR MAJESTY.

JOAN.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS.

THE DAY WE MET,
WE SPOKE OF GOD'S PLAN,

AND WE STILL HAVE
TO PLAY OUR PARTS.

WHATEVER YOU DO,
YOU DO BY
THE WILL OF GOD.

KNOW THAT
I KNOW THAT.

JOAN ? I HAVE A MAP
OF COMPIEGNE HERE.

JEAN, YOU HAVE
TO LISTEN TO ME.

WE MAY NOT HAVE THE CHANCE
TO SPEAK AGAIN.

IF I'M CAPTURED OR KILLED,
YOU MUST NOT RISK YOURSELF OR
THE LIVES OF OUR MEN TO SAVE ME.

I KNOW THAT THIS
IS HARD FOR YOU
TO UNDERSTAND.

BUT YOU MUST STAND
BEHIND CHARLES.

PROMISE ME
THAT YOU'LL FINISH
WHAT WE STARTED.

SWEAR IT.

LA HIRE !
LA HIRE APPROACHES.

[ Men Shouting,
Indistinct ]

BURGUNDIANS.
[ Shouting Orders ]

NO !

NO !
IT'S AS I TOLD YOU.

JOAN.

JOAN !

[ Coughing ]

MADAME.

SO, THIS
IS THE MAID.

- WHY HAVE YOU STOPPED EATING ?
- I'VE HEARD THAT YOU INTEND
TO SELL ME TO THE ENGLISH.

RUMORS IN A PLACE LIKE THIS
ARE LIKE WATER.

NOT TO BE TRUSTED.
I'D RATHER DIE
THAN BE IN ENGLISH HANDS.

- WHAT WILL IT TAKE
TO MAKE YOU EAT ?
- I WILL EAT...

IF YOU SEND A MESSAGE
TO THE KING TELLING HIM
OF MY SITUATION.

SO THAT HE MAY
SHED A TEAR ?

SO THAT WE WILL DO WHAT
GOD EXPECTS OF HIM NEXT.

AND WHAT MAY THAT BE ?

- WHY DON'T YOU SEND
THE MESSAGE AND FIND OUT ?
- IMPUDENT LITTLE WITCH !

ENOUGH !

MAMA-- OH !

I WAS WINTERING
IN THE SOUTH
WHEN I HEARD OF THIS.

I RETURNED AS
QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
YOU'LL CATCH A CHILL.

YOU HAVE DUPED MY SON
INTO YOUR DREADFUL GAME.

THIS GIRL
IS NOT A THREAT.

THERE WILL BE
NO SALE TO ENGLAND.
COME WITH ME.

[ Knocking At Door ]

[ Door Opens ]

AH, DID YOU SLEEP WELL ?

YES, MADAME.

NO, I'VE HAD THOSE
WRETCHED CLOTHES REMOVED.

NOW, IF THESE DO NOT FIT
OR ARE NOT TO YOUR TASTE,

- NEW CLOTHES
WILL BE MADE.
- I MUST HAVE
MY OWN CLOTHES BACK, MADAME.

MY DEAR, IF YOU ARE
TO BE MY PERSONAL CHARGE,

I MUST ASK FOR A BIT
MORE COOPERATION.
[ Coughs ]

[ Coughing ]
WHAT IS IT YOU WANT ?

WANT ?

WELL, I WANT
TO GO TO HEAVEN.

MY DEAR,

I WAS A PIOUS YOUNG GIRL
WHO HOPED TO BE A NUN,

BUT MY FAMILY
WOULD HAVE NONE OF IT.

SO GOD HAD TO LEARN
TO SHARE ME
WITH OTHERS TOO.

AND I FEAR HE'S NOT
ALWAYS COME FIRST.

NOW, MY TIME IS SHORT.
JUDGMENT DAY DRAWS NEARER.

I MUST STRENGTHEN
MY DEFENSE.

IF I CAN KE--

IF I CAN KEEP
GOD'S BLESSED YOUNG MAID
FROM THE HANDS OF THE ENGLISH,

PERHAPS HE WILL
GRANT ME MERCY.

HOW WILL MADAME KEEP ME
OUT OF THE HANDS
OF THE ENGLISH ?

I EXPECT WE'LL
FIND A WAY TOGETHER.

FOR NOW,

I'M VERY INTERESTED
IN UNDERSTANDING YOU.

I WOULD LIKE TO DISCOVER
WHAT'S INSIDE OF A CHILD...

WHO IS TOUCHED BY GOD.

TELL ME ABOUT
YOUR SAINTS.

WHAT DO THEIR VOICES
SOUND LIKE ?

[ Thunder Rumbling ]

THEY'RE...

KIND AND GENTLE.

AND WHEN THEY SPEAK,
DO OTHER PEOPLE HEAR THEM ?

NO. ONLY ME.

BUT HAVEN'T THEY FAILED YOU
IN ALLOWING YOU
TO BE CAPTURED ?

I DID NOT WISH
TO BE CAPTURED,
BUT IT'S GOD'S WILL,

A PART OF HIS PLAN.

WHAT COULD THIS PLAN
POSSIBLY BE ?

I'M TOLD THAT CHARLES
AND I ARE BEING TESTED...

AND THAT SOON
I'M GOING TO HAVE
TO CHOOSE MY OWN PATH.

IT MUST BE
A REMARKABLE THING...

TO KNOW WITHIN
YOUR OWN LIFETIME
YOU WERE BORN A LEGEND.

I BELIEVE I WOULD DIE
IF I COULD NOT
SERVE OTHERS.

MY DEAREST GIRL.

I HAD PRAYED FOR A DAUGHTER,
BUT, UH, GOD NEVER
ANSWERED MY PRAYER.

UNTIL NOW, PERHAPS ?

YOU ARE SO CLEVER
AND SO BRAVE.

YOU ARE CAPABLE
OF MORE POSSIBILITIES
THAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE.

LET ME TAKE YOU
IN HAND.

YOU WILL BE EDUCATED.
YOU WILL BE TAUGHT MANNERS.

YOU WILL BE INTRODUCED
INTO SOCIETY.

[ Softly ]
THANK YOU.

AND AT THE SAME TIME,
YOU WILL TRAIN
WITH YOUR ARMS.

YOU WILL CONTINUE
TO STUDY--
[ Exhales ]

CONTINUE TO STUDY
THE ART OF WAR.

NOW, YOU WILL NOT BE HEMMED IN
AS YOU WERE IN FRANCE.

[ Exhales ]
THERE WILL BE NO JUDGMENT
ABOUT YOUR MANLY INTERESTS HERE.

YOU WILL NOT
BE TOYED WITH
BY SCHEMERS...

WHO RESENT YOU
EVEN AS THEY USE YOU.

YOU'LL BE COMPLETELY
CELEBRATED FOR
EVERYTHING THAT YOU ARE,

NOT IN SPITE OF IT.

BUT IN FRANCE, I'M FREE,
AND HERE I'M A PRISONER.

BUT ONLY UNTIL
YOU ARE READY
TO BE FREE.

UNTIL YOU ALLOW YOURSELF
TO ACCEPT THIS SPLENDID NEW
LIFE THAT I'M SURE YOU WILL.

BECAUSE, MY DEAREST GIRL,
YOU ARE OFFERED ONLY
TWO CHOICES, YOU KNOW.

ALLOW BURGUNDY
TO EMBRACE YOU...

OR ENGLAND TO KILL YOU.

WHY WOULD BURGUNDY
EMBRACE ME ?

AH.

YOU WILL LEAD
OUR ARMY TO VICTORY.

MY DEAREST LADY,

ALL OF THIS HAS BEEN
IN THE BELIEF THAT I WOULD FIGHT
AGAINST SOLDIERS I ONCE LED,

THAT I WOULD TOPPLE
A KING I ONCE CROWNED.

WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH
FOR THIS VILE PRETENDER...

WHO USED YOU
AND ABANDONED YOU ?

WHY ?
BECAUSE ONLY THROUGH ME CAN
HE LEARN HOW TO BE A GOOD KING.

IS IT NOT POSSIBLE
THAT GOD MIGHT WANT
THE FRENCH PEOPLE UNITED...

BUT NOT NECESSARILY
UNDER FRANCE ?

CAN YOU BE SURE
THAT THAT CROWN
BELONGS TO CHARLES...

AND NOT TO PHILLIP ?

OH, I ASSURE YOU, MADAME,
THE CORRECT MAN
IS WEARING THE CROWN.

NO ! HE IS A FOOL !

HE HAS NO RIGHT
TO BE KING.

[ Gagging,
Coughing ]

[ Coughing Continues ]

[ Coughing Continues ]
HELP !

HELP ! SOMEONE HELP !
[ Coughing ]

HOLD !

SIRE, HIS MAJESTY
IS RETIRED.

I'VE BEEN
WAITING WEEKS
TO SEE HIM.

I WANT TO KNOW
WHAT HE INTENDS
TO DO ABOUT JOAN.

WHERE IS HE ?

WHERE ARE YOU ?
RETIRED.

[ Thunderclap ]

YOU BROUGHT HER TO THIS.

[ Coughing ]

MOM.

LEAVE ME.

I MUST BE BRIEF.

[ Labored Breathing ]
I KNOW THAT YOU WILL NOT COME
TO THIS SIDE OF BURGUNDY.

SO BEWARE AND PREPARE.
THE ENGLISH WILL TAKE YOU.

THE CHURCH WILL TRY YOU
FOR HERESY.

IF YOU REMEMBER NOTHING ELSE,
YOU REMEMBER THESE WORDS.

OUR LORD, FIRST SERVED.
SAY THEM.

OUR LORD, FIRST SERVED.

TURN THEM OVER.
STUDY THESE WORDS.
THEY ARE YOUR KEY TO SURVIVAL.

ONLY THESE WORDS WILL SAVE YOU.

NOW YOU'LL PRAY WITH ME.

[ Thunder Rumbling ]

PRAY.

[ Breathing Heavily ]

[ Breathing Stops ]

[ Thunderclap ]

[ Squeaking ]

[ Door Opens ]

UP !

[ Door Opens ]

[ Joan ]
DO ANY OF YOU SPEAK ?

MAY I KNOW
WHO'S IN CHARGE ?

BISHOP CAUCHON, WHY AM I
KEPT UNDER ENGLISH GUARD ?

SHOULDN'T I BE MOVED TO
A CHURCH PRISON, WHERE I
MAY RECEIVE THE SACRAMENTS ?

THESE ENGLISH
HAVE DECIDED,

DUE TO THE GRAVITY OF
THE CHARGES AGAINST YOU,
THAT YOU'LL BE GUARDED HERE.

- THEY CLAIM IT IS
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY.
- WHO ARE ALL OF THESE MEN ?

LEARNED ECCLESIASTICS
WHO'LL ACT AS ASSESSORS
AT YOUR TRIAL.

AND YOU, DEAR BISHOP,
HOW DO YOU COME TO BE HERE ?

BY SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT.

TO DO WHAT ?

TO CONTINUE
THE CONVERSATION WE BEGAN
AT THE KING'S BANQUET.

THE ENGLISH WILL DO
EVERYTHING THEY CAN...

TO DESTROY JOAN.

THIS WE'LL STOP.

WE HAVE
NO OFFICIAL SANCTION.

ANY MAN CAPTURED
WILL FACE CERTAIN DEATH.

I CANNOT PAY MUCH.

BUT WHAT I CAN, I WILL.
THERE WILL BE NO PAY.

[ Murmuring ]

IF YOU FIGHT,
IT IS FOR YOUR BELIEF.

NOTHING ELSE.

[ People Talking ]

WE SHOULD SEPARATE.

I'LL GO
TO THE RIGHT.

[ Banging ]

IN NOMINE PATRIS, ET FILII,
ET SPIRITUS SANCTI. AMEN.

BROTHERS IN CHRIST,

THE CHARGES IN THIS CASE
ARE GRAVE.

THE ACCUSED
IS CALLED A SORCERESS,

A FALSE PROPHET,
A BLASPHEMER.

SHE IS CHARGED
WITH INCITING MEN TO WAR,

WITH DISCARDING THE DECENCIES
AND PROPRIETIES OF HER SEX,

WITH BEGUILING BOTH
PRINCES AND PEOPLE,

WITH USURPING
DIVINE HONORS...

AND CAUSING HERSELF
TO BE VENERATED.

YOU WILL BE PRESENTED
WITH A YOUNG GIRL...

WHO CLAIMS
SHE SPEAKS WITH SAINTS,

ALL BEARING INSTRUCTION
DIRECTLY FROM GOD.

AND IT IS HERE THAT YOU
MUST TREAD DELICATELY.

BECAUSE WHILE IT IS
REMOTELY POSSIBLE...

THAT THE GIRL
IS DIVINELY INSPIRED,

THE HOLY INQUISITOR'S
EXPERIENCE SUGGESTS...

SHE HAS MORE LIKELY
BEEN CORRUPTED...

BY THE SINS
OF ARROGANCE AND PRIDE.

I ADVISE YOU...

NOT TO LOOK FOR THE USUAL
EXCESSES OF WANTON BEHAVIOR,

NOR THE OUTWARD
MARKS OF EVIL.

INSTEAD,
LOOK AT HER EXCESSES...

OF RELIGION AND CHARITY.

I WARN YOU
THAT THE GIRL...

IS NEITHER LIAR
NOR HYPOCRITE.

SHE BELIEVES SHE HAS BEEN
INSTRUCTED BY GOD...

TO COMMIT THE ACTS
WHICH FORM THE BASIS OF
THE CHARGES AGAINST HER.

TO BE CERTAIN THAT THESE
THINGS ARE NOT HEAVEN-SENT,

YOU MUST EXPOSE
THE SIN OF PRIDE.

AND THAT IS DIFFICULT
WITH THIS GIRL...

BECAUSE HER PRIDE
SITS SIDE BY SIDE...

WITH HER
INNATE HUMILITY.

[ People Murmuring ]

I ENTREAT YOU TO GUARD
AGAINST YOUR NATURAL COMPASSION.

IT WILL CLOUD
YOUR JUDGMENT.

BUT NEITHER SHOULD YOU INDULGE
YOURSELVES IN ANGER OR PITY,

FOR THAT IS
THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF EVIL.

THE ONLY GUIDE THAT
WILL SERVE YOU WELL
IS MERCY.

IT WILL HELP YOU
TO LEARN THE TRUTH,

TO KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT...

AND TO HELP YOU SAVE
HER IMMORTAL SOUL.

PRODUCE THE ACCUSED.

[ Shouting, Laughing ]

[ Man ]
QUIET ! QUIET !

[ Banging Noise ]

[ Shouting Subsides ]

[ Banging ]

HOW ARE YOUR SPIRITS, JOAN ?

THEY WOULD BE BETTER,
WERE I IN A CHURCH PRISON
AS I AM ENTITLED,

UNBURDENED OF THESE SHACKLES,
WHICH SEEM EXCESSIVE
IN THESE SURROUNDINGS.

[ Man ]
THEY ARE FOR
YOUR OWN PROTECTION.

HOW AM I PROTECTED ?

I HAVE BEEN DENIED AN ADVOCATE,
AND I AM THE ONLY WITNESS
IN MY OWN DEFENSE.

UNFORTUNATELY,

YOU HAVE BEEN CHARGED
IN ENGLISH COURT.

ANY FRENCH WITNESSES
YOU MIGHT CALL...

WOULD BE SEIZED AND HANGED
IF THEY SHOWED THEMSELVES
AT THE GATES OF ROUEN.

[ Cauchon ]
AS TO YOUR OTHER REQUEST,

RECOGNIZING THAT
YOU ARE UNTAUGHT...

AND THEREFORE POSSIBLY
AT A DISADVANTAGE IN FRONT
OF THESE LEARNED MEN,

I GRANT YOU LEAVE
TO CHOOSE A PERSON
FROM AMONG THEIR NUMBER...

TO HELP YOU WITH
COUNSEL AND ADVICE.

AS YOU WOULD GRANT
LEAVE OF A LAMB
TO ASK HELP FROM A WOLF.

[ Shouting ]

I REMIND THE ACCUSED
AND THE PUBLIC...

OF THE SERIOUS NATURE
OF THIS TRIAL.

[ Shouting Ceases ]

ARE WE TO GLEAN
THAT YOU ARE DECLINING
THE OFFER OF COUNSEL ?

YOU MAY SO GLEAN.

NOTE THAT
IN THE RECORD.

NOW KNEEL
AND MAKE AN OATH...

TO ANSWER WITH
EXACT TRUTHFULNESS
ALL QUESTIONS ASKED OF YOU.

NO.

[ People Murmuring ]

FOR I DO NOT KNOW
WHAT WILL BE ASKED OF ME.

YOU MAY ASK THINGS
THAT I CANNOT REVEAL.

SWEAR, WITH YOUR HANDS
UPON THE GOSPELS,

TO ANSWER TRUTHFULLY
ALL QUESTIONS ASKED OF YOU.

I WILL GLADLY ANSWER
ALL THINGS, BISHOP,

EXCEPT THE REVELATIONS
WHICH ARE MEANT
ONLY FOR MY KING.

YOU MAY MAKE AN OATH
IN YOUR OWN FASHION.

[ Whispering ]

DID GOD COMMAND YOU TO
PUT ON MEN'S CLOTHING ?

MY CLOTHING IS A SMALL MATTER,
ONE OF THE LEAST,

BUT IT WAS DONE
AT OUR LORD'S BIDDING.

WILL YOU WEAR
A WOMAN'S DRESS
IF WE GIVE YOU ONE ?

SEND ME HOME TO MY MOTHER,
AND I WILL WEAR
ANYTHING YOU LIKE.

- BISHOP, THESE ARE NOT
SERIOUS QUESTIONS !
- IT IS NOT POSSIBLE.

WE CAN DISPENSE WITH
THE CLOTHING AT THIS TIME.

WE TURN TO YOUR
VOICES AND VISIONS.
WHEN DID THEY BEGIN ?

THE CHURCH HAS ALREADY
EXAMINED ME ON THIS
AT POITIERS.

YOU KNOW MY ANSWERS
AND THE CHURCH'S FINDINGS.

WHEN DID THE VOICES BEGIN ?

WHEN I WAS TEN.

WHO SPOKE TO YOU ?

SAINT CATHERINE
AND SAINT MARGARET.

- HOW DID YOU KNOW ?
- BECAUSE THEY TOLD ME.

- WHO ELSE SPOKE TO YOU ?
- SAINT MICHAEL.

- AND DID THEY APPEAR TO YOU ?
- I'VE TOLD YOU THIS BEFORE.

- TELL ME AGAIN.
- YES, THEY APPEAR.

WHAT SORT OF THINGS
DO THEY TELL YOU ?

THEY TELL ME...

THAT WITHIN
SEVEN YEARS' TIME,

A DISASTER
WILL BEFALL THE ENGLISH.

[ Shouting ]

AND SOON THEREAFTER,
ENGLAND WILL LOSE ALL OF FRANCE.

[ Shouting ]

SILENCE !

WHEN DID YOU LAST
HEAR YOUR VOICES ?

LAST NIGHT
AND AGAIN THIS MORNING.

HOW OFTEN
DO THEY COME ?

THERE'S NO DAY
THAT I DON'T HEAR THEM.

DO YOU CALL THEM,
OR DO THEY COME
WITHOUT YOUR CALLING ?

THEY'VE OFTEN COME
WITHOUT MY CALLING.

OTHER TIMES I NEED TO PRAY,
"LORD, SEND THEM."

DO YOU EVER CALL THEM
AND THEY DO NOT COME ?

IF I'M IN GREAT NEED OF THEM,
THEY ALWAYS COME.

WHAT THINGS
DO YOU ASK YOUR VOICES ?

RIGHT NOW I ASK THEM
THREE THINGS:

THAT MY GOD WILL CONTINUE
TO HELP THE FRENCH,

FOR MY FREEDOM,

AND THAT MY SOUL
WILL BE SAVED.

THEN YOU HAVE
BEEN BETRAYED,

FOR YOU WILL CERTAINLY
EITHER BURN AS A HERETIC...

OR YOU WILL SPEND
THE REST OF YOUR DAYS IN PRISON.

- THAT'S NOT--
- HAVE YOUR VOICES
TOLD YOU DIFFERENTLY ?

HAVE YOUR VOICES TOLD YOU
YOU WILL BE RESCUED ?

WHAT, PRECISELY,
WERE YOU TOLD ?

MY COUNSEL HAS GIVEN ME
LEAVE TO TELL YOU...

THAT YOU ARE
IN GREAT DANGER.

WHAT IS THIS
GREAT DANGER ?

FOR JUDGING ME, YOU WILL
SUFFER IN BODY AND SOUL.

[ Shouting ]

WHAT SIGN DID YOU GIVE
TO YOUR FAKE KING
WHEN YOU FIRST MET ?

I HAVE NO FAKE KING.

YOU KNOW WHAT HE MEANS.
WHAT SIGN DID YOU GIVE CHARLES ?

- ASK CHARLES.
- I'M ASKING YOU.

I CAN'T TELL YOU.
PERHAPS IN TIME.

CLEAR THE COURT !

[ Shouting ]

THERE IS THE RACK
AND THERE ARE ITS MINISTERS.

YOU WILL
REVEAL ALL, NOW !

OR BROTHER LE'MAITRE
WILL EXTRACT IT FROM YOU
IN HIS OWN WAY.

IF YOU TEAR MY LIMBS
I MAY SPEAK OUT OF PAIN,

BUT AFTERWARDS
I WILL DENY IT ALL.

WHY ARE YOU PUNISHING ME
FOR TALKING TO GOD ?

WHY ?

TAKE HER BACK
TO HER CELL.

THIS TRIAL SEEMS
UNDULY TAXING ON YOU,

BROTHER CAUCHON.

WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG ?
YOU HAVE ENOUGH EVIDENCE
TO BURN TEN HERETICS.

THE CHURCH IS UNCONCERNED
WITH THE ENGLISH AGENDA,

ONLY WITH THE SALVATION
OF JOAN'S SOUL.

I PAID A HUGE PRICE
FOR THE WITCH,
AND I WANT HER DEAD.

IF THE CHURCH
LETS HER GO--

IF THE CHURCH LETS HER GO,
GOD HELP ANY MAN
WHO LAYS A FINGER ON HER.

BROTHER CAUCHON HAS BEEN
WAGING A LONG, EXHAUSTIVE,

BUT DOOMED BATTLE
FOR THE GIRL'S SOUL.

YOU WILL SOON HAVE
THE OUTCOME YOU DESIRE.

GOOD.

THE TRIAL CONTINUES
IN SECRET !

[ Shouting ]

JOAN.

JOAN OF ARC,

I AM BROTHER LE'MAITRE
OF THE HOLY INQUISITION.

I'VE BEEN PRESIDING
THESE LAST WEEKS...

SO THAT I MAY ASSIST
IN IDENTIFYING A TRUE HERETIC.

YOU HAVE SAID...

THAT YOUR VOICES
NEVER FAIL YOU,

AND YET YOU SAY
THEY INSTRUCTED YOU...

TO WEAR MEN'S
CLOTHING ?
YES.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY OUR LORD
WOULD ENDANGER YOUR LIFE...

BY INSTRUCTING YOU
TO DENY YOUR SEX ?

I DON'T KNOW.

BUT I HAVE OFTEN FELT,
ON THE BATTLEFIELDS
AND HERE IN THIS PRISON,

I'M JUST CONSTANTLY
ALONE WITH SOLDIERS.

MY CLOTHING DOESN'T
ENDANGER MY LIFE.
RATHER, IT SAVES IT.

WILL YOU SUBMIT TO
THE JUDGMENT OF THE CHURCH,

THE VOICE OF GOD ON EARTH ?

YES.

[ Clerics Murmuring ]

SO LONG AS OUR LORD
IS FIRST SERVED.

[ Murmuring Increases ]

WE'LL TURN TO THE SIGN
YOU GAVE TO CHARLES.

WAS IT FROM GOD ?

IT WAS SAINT MICHAEL.

CONTINUE.

IT WAS HE WHO ACCOMPANIED ME
TO CHINON, UNSEEN.

AND IT WAS HE...

WHO SHOWED ME CHARLES
HIDDEN IN THE CROWD.

AND THEN AFTERWARDS WHEN
I WAS ALONE WITH CHARLES,

HE SHOWED HIMSELF
TO CHARLES...

AND HE PRODUCED
A MAGNIFICENT GOLDEN CROWN.

AND HE SAID THAT
CHARLES SHOULD TAKE IT...

SO THAT HE CAN
BECOME KING.

AND THEN HE BOWED
AND DISAPPEARED.

[ Clerics Murmuring ]

HE BOWED
AND DISAPPEARED ?

YES. HE BOWED
AND DISAPPEARED.

WHAT DID SAINT MICHAEL
LOOK LIKE ?

SAINT MICHAEL WAS TALL,

WITH LONG, DARK HAIR,

BIG, WARM, BLUE EYES.

AND ON HIS HEAD...

HE WORE A CROWN...

WITH SIX POINTS.

IT'S REALLY VERY SIMPLE,
BROTHER CAUCHON.

SHE GROWS MORE ARROGANT
BY THE DAY,

AND WHEN FORCED TO CHOOSE
BETWEEN HER UNNATURAL CLOTHING
AND THE CHURCH--

WHAT DO YOU THINK
OF HER DESCRIPTION
OF SAINT MICHAEL ?

APPALLING.
RIDICULOUS.

THAT DESCRIPTION IS HOW
HE EXISTS IN BOOKS CAREFULLY
GUARDED IN THE VATICAN.

AND THEY ARE WRONG.

IT WAS PROBABLY
THAT VILLAGE PRIEST...

WHO FILLED HER HEAD
WITH STORIES
AND FAIRY TALES...

THAT BROUGHT HER
TO THIS WRETCHED END.

HOW EVER SHE LEARNED
THE DESCRIPTION OF
SAINT MICHAEL,

IT DOES NOT CHANGE THE FACT
THAT SHE PUTS HERSELF
ABOVE THE CHURCH.

SHE IS AN
UNREPENTANT HERETIC...

AND SHE WILL BURN.

AND YOU,
BROTHER CAUCHON ?

YOU'RE ONLY WORKING
FOR YOUR OWN SALVATION.

JOAN, STAND UP.

STAND UP !

FOR THE RECORD,

DO YOU, JOAN d'ARC
OF DOMREMY,

REFUSE NOW
AND FOREVER...

TO SUBMIT TO
THE WILL OF THE CHURCH,

THE REPRESENTATIVE
OF GOD ON EARTH ?

JOAN !

DON'T ANSWER HASTILY.

YOUR WORD COULD MEAN
THAT YOU WILL BURN.

EVEN IF THE STAKE WERE
RAISED AND THE FIRE LIT,

I WOULD NOT
LOSE FAITH IN GOD.

GOD WILL SPARE ME.

CHILD,

THE STAKE IS RAISED.

YOU WOULD BURN.

TAKE HER OUTSIDE.

LOOK !
IT'S NOT POSSIBLE.

SAINT CATHERINE
PROMISED.

AAH !

THAT IS NOTHING
TO WHAT AWAITS YOU !

GOD IS NOT GOING
TO RELEASE YOU...

AND CHARLES IS NOT
GOING TO RESCUE YOU.

YOUR FATE IS IN
NO ONE'S HANDS BUT YOURS.

DON'T YOU SEE
THAT YOU WERE DECEIVED...

BY THE FORCES
OF EVIL ?

SIGN.

JOAN. JOAN.

LIVE. SIGN.

SIGN.

I WILL SIGN.
I WILL SIGN.
I WILL SIGN.

[ Latin Hymn ]

[ Hymn Continues ]

BRING THEM BACK.

PUT THEM NEXT TO HER.

TEMPT HER.

[ Hymn Continues ]

[ Joan ]
WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?
GO AWAY !

- WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?
- [ Man ] BE QUIET !

- WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?
- STOP SCREAMING !

GO AWAY !
DON'T TOUCH ME !

GET OUT !
GO AWAY ! GO AWAY !

[ Joan Screams ]

POOR JOAN.

SHE NEVER UNDERSTOOD
THE KEYS TO SURVIVAL:

MANIPULATION, COMPROMISE
AND A WELL-TURNED PHRASE.

BUT I'LL GIVE HER THIS:

SHE MADE
AN EXCELLENT KINGMAKER,

AND I SHALL MAKE
AN EXCELLENT KING.

YOUR MAJESTY SPEAKS
OF MAID JOAN
IN THE PAST TENSE.

YOU COULD STILL
RESCUE HER.

RESCUE A HERETIC ?

SHALL WE ?

I'M FINDING CAUCHON.

ONE HOUR,
OR WE ATTACK.

[ Crowd Shouting ]

ONLY A FEW MINUTES.

JOAN ? JOAN !
HEY, HEY.

IT'S ME.

WHOEVER DID THIS
WILL PAY.

JOAN.

JOAN,

WE'VE GATHERED AN ARMY.

WE'RE JUST BEYOND THE HILL.

AND TOMORROW NIGHT
WHEN THIS TOWN SLEEPS,

WE'RE GOING
TO STORM THOSE GATES
AND TAKE THIS PRISON.

YOU CRAVE VICTORY.

AND CHARLES
WILL BE HERE ?

THE KING DIDN'T--

BUT LA HIRE IS WITH US,

AND SO ARE THOUSANDS OF SOLDIERS
WHO ARE WILLING TO DIE
FOR WHAT THEY BELIEVE IN.

THE MAID ?

- THERE'S NOTHING LEFT OF HER.
- DON'T SAY THAT.

- I MADE A PACT, JEAN.
- YOU STAYED ALIVE.

AND KILLED EVERYTHING
THAT I BELIEVED IN.

I MUST GO.

JOAN, PLEASE.

PLEASE BE READY
FOR US TOMORROW.

WE WON'T BE LONG.

I WILL BE SAVED,
SWEET JEAN.

ADIEU.

UNTIL TOMORROW.

ADIEU.

ADIEU.

I WILL BE SAVED.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE ?
OH, GOD.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE ?

WHAT I CONFESSED,

I CONFESSED FROM FEAR.

BUT EVERY WORD
WAS A LIE.

I RETRACT MY ABJURATION NOW
AND FOR ALL TIME.

YOU'D DIE...

THROUGH YOUR
OWN WORDS ?
NO.

DEAR BISHOP,

I DIE THROUGH YOU.

JOAN...

d'ARC OF DOMREMY,

THROUGH YOUR WICKEDNESS,

YOU ARE A MENACE AND
A PERIL TO THE CHURCH'S...

PURITY AND HOLINESS.

MOTHER CHURCH CAN
NO LONGER PROTECT YOU.

YOU WILL BE BOUND OVER
TO SECULAR AUTHORITIES...

WHO WILL DELIVER YOU
TO THE EXECUTIONER.

GO IN PEACE.

BISHOP.

THE SIGN I SAID
I GAVE THE DAUPHIN,

IT TOO WAS A LIE.

WHY ?

YOU ASKED ME
TO BREAK A VOW TO GOD.

I SAVED US BOTH.

THEY'RE GOING
TO BURN THE WITCH !

FATHER,
WHAT'S HAPPENING ?

SHE HAS RECANTED.
THEY WILL EXECUTE HER AT ONCE.

WAIT HERE. GET THE MEN.
WE'LL CHARGE THE MAIN GATE.

I'LL GO WITH YOU.
NO. YOU STAY.

LET HER SEE YOU.
GIVE HER HOPE.

[ People Shouting ]

[ Man ]
OUT OF THE WAY !

[ Crowd Shouting ]

[ Jeering ]

[ Shouting, Jeering Continue ]

WE NEED TO ATTACK NOW !

WE'LL ATTACK THE SOUTH GATE
TO DISTRACT SOLDIERS
AWAY FROM THE MAIN GATE !

FOLLOW ME !

- MAY I SEE A CRUCIFIX
LEVEL WITH MY EYES ?
- BE QUIET !

MAY I SEE A CRUCIFIX
LEVEL WITH MY EYES ?

GOD !

GOD !

GOD !

OH, GOD !

JESUS !

[ Horse Whinnies ]

THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

FOR FRANCE !

[ Soldiers ]
FOR FRANCE !

[ Shouting ]

JOAN !

NO.
