A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

LOUISIANA, 1782

Many people refuse to see the mysteries of this world.

They are certain that any phenomenon can be explained.

Even those that defy reason.

It reassures them.

Makes them think that they're the masters of their destiny.

They will refuse to believe

what I am telling you today.

They will think that I made it all up,

that my imagination woke the dead.

I will not seek to convince them,

I know what I saw.

And believe me,

this is only the beginning.

CHAPTER THREE THE INNOCENTS

Albert, are you all right?

I'm fine.

If you want us to help you free your friend,

you know what you owe me in return.

Yes.

The lives of my men depend on us.

I told you you can count on me.

I will help you and the Brotherhood.

And your countess?

Are you prepared to go all the way?

She means nothing to me now.

Just a way to get inside that prison and to save Oka.

Did you know Albert was alive?

No, Joseph.

You were there when your father shot him.

I heard the shot.

And then...

they took me away. I don't know...

I don't know what they did next.

Then why did your father hide the truth?

You said it yourself.

He was an orphan.

And I am a countess.

You have to get loose.

My right vest pocket.

Hurry.

No. You first.

You're in more danger here than I am.

Why are you helping me?

We've both been lied to for 12 years.

That makes you the only person I trust.

Take her away.

I'm sorry I lied to you.

You'll help us break out our men.

-Is this a joke? -You won't be suspected.

All you have to do is get Marianne and the others inside the prison.

-Out of the question. -These men will be hanged

for having refused to obey.

Katell, all these people are outlaws!

Thieves.

The Brotherhood only takes from the nobles.

With your help, these men could be out of prison tomorrow.

Without your help, they're dead.

Let's say I agree to help you.

I said, "let's say."

I have no way of getting them in.

Yes, you do.

You'll start an epidemic.

She shouldn't be here, it's dangerous.

And deprive her of the charms of our palace?

No.

Under no circumstances would I want to lack proper manners with...

such a prestigious guest.

You're far more prestigious than I am.

I see your portrait on every wall in town.

I owe that to your father.

How much is he offering for my head?

Enough to feed a family for a year!

The only question is how much your family is willing to spend on your head.

Is that what you're after?

Wealth?

I used to respect you.

I disapproved of your methods. I respected your fight.

You're wrong about me.

-I understand you. -How could you understand us?

By having meat and wine on your table while your people starve?

By having compassion.

We don't want your compassion!

Look at me.

I was a child when your cousin, the cripple,

left me a souvenir of his compassion.

The mighty stand tall because we're on our knees.

Today, the people are rising up.

Take her away.

Let go of me.

Let go of me!

You know what to do?

For justice.

For liberty.

Long live the Brotherhood!

Long live the Brotherhood! Liberty!

-Father! -What did I tell you about knocking?

Where is my brother?

Donatien had another fit last night.

The doctor recommended we send him for treatment.

You know treatment won't save him!

-There's only one cure, you know it! -I told you,

my son won't be amputated like some beggar!

Mother's death wasn't enough for you?

-Get out. -She had gangrene,

and you refused to save her as well!

I forbid you from speaking of her.

She killed herself because of you!

When?

We just received it.

Do you think I'm crazy too?

No! Why would you say that?

I see how everyone looks at me.

Don't mind other people.

You are the sweetest,

most intelligent little girl I know.

Do you really think so?

Have I ever lied to you?

Yes.

You and Élise lie all the time.

No, of course not!

Then who are my real parents?

What are you talking about?

The little girl in my dreams, she told me. And she never lies.

Where is my niece?

She didn't say, my lord.

Was she out last night?

-She meant to meet someone. -Who?

Answer me!

She wouldn't tell me, my lord.

I'm sure she's fine, angel.

How can this be?

I scattered your ashes, Albert.

Where were you all these years?

America.

America...

Oka told me about a soldier who bore your name...

I told him it couldn't be because you were dead!

Guy de Montargis let me choose.

Either the army...

or he'd kill those who mattered to me.

I couldn't come back.

And yet here you are.

I'm here to save Oka.

I need your help, Joseph.

Who is Oka to you?

I owe him a debt.

You can help me repay it.

There are other ways to save Oka.

By talking to a judge, or...

-the press. -And if they won't listen?

They will. I have proof.

Will you risk a life based on your convictions?

That's what's at stake here.

If you're wrong...

Oka dies.

I'll agree to help you.

On one condition.

You're not in a position to make any demands.

I don't want anyone to die.

Fine.

Give me your word.

You have it.

Élise!

Élise...

Four guards at the front gate.

Jean and the others are in the basement. Oka's cell is here.

It's isolated.

The diversion will draw the police out of town.

How much time for the poison?

-Once it's absorbed, you need... -How long?

-Less than five minutes. -The guards will be gathered here.

I'll deal with them.

Ten minutes to get back to the gates,

ten minutes to reach the back streets and scatter.

We caught him at the town gates.

He has a message for you, my lord.

-Speak! -Your niece is our prisoner.

Thirty thousand pounds before Vespers for her life.

You and your people aren't the first to threaten my family.

Your son is as ill as he is incompetent!

Your daughter Marie is only good for marrying!

Only Élise de Montargis can lead this county

after your death or your brother's!

Go ahead.

Cut me into pieces.

Whatever you do to me, we'll do to her.

Wait!

Charles! Stop!

You stay out of this.

I'll pay the ransom.

We'll start in this one. The tough part...

are the guards here.

Bring her coach.

Look out.

Do you know how to use it?

Catch her!

I'm trying to save innocent lives.

Like you.

By manipulating everyone?

Making them think you...

I'm not responsible for whatever you imagined.

You've made that clear.

Don't come any closer.

Don't make me shoot you.

What happened to you?

No!

Let go of me!

No!

No!

No! Open up!

Open up!

Open the gate, please.

-Is there a problem, Doctor? -No.

No?

I don't know what the hell you've done. Truth be told, I don't give a damn!

It's a shame, Doc, I liked you.

Calm down...

You all right?

We can't go back now.

We need to hurry now.

Wait.

-Put this in the inmates' water. -How much?

All of it.

Guard, come on!

I'm thirsty!

I'm thirsty!

Water!

I'm thirsty!

Water. I'm thirsty.

A bit more!

Father!

Ophélie?

What's the matter?

You are my lady's confessor.

I need to know who the man in this locket is and where he is.

-Impossible. -He's abducted Élise!

I'm sure it's nothing.

Know what happens to girls who aren't on the registers?

You know where they end up?

Yes...

I was one of them.

At 15, I ran away from the brothel. They caught me...

They beat me, there in the street, like a dog...

That's when an angel appeared.

She said if they touched another hair on my head...

they would die.

That day, I swore I would follow Élise wherever she went.

I cannot break the confessional secret.

If anything happens to Élise, I can't protect Madeleine from her uncle.

Neither will you.

But know that I will hold you responsible.

For that, I'll hunt you down...

and I will kill you.

Now, tell me who this man is, Father.

Guard! Help!

Guard! Help!

-What do you want? -Guard!

What's the matter?

You dog!

Get back!

What's with them?

Get the doctor!

Alert the Hôtel-Dieu immediately.

-What does that mean? -It means an epidemic, sir.

What disease?

Do you want me to tell you here?

Plague doctors. Open up!

-What are you doing? -Your keys!

Get ready.

The doctors are here, open up!

Let us out!

Let us out!

Come on, let's go!

Where is the foreigner?

Where is he?

I'll take you there.

You'll be sorry for this...

Guard.

Open this cell at once. I need to see the foreigner.

Hurry up, there's an epidemic.

My brother.

Monsieur de Lariboise!

Dismount!

I need to talk to you!

It's all right. Let the servant through.

That's the man who abducted Élise. She knew him. He's with them.

The Brotherhood.

-What does he want? -The foreigner.

The one in prison.

What does that mean?

That this is a diversion.

We have to leave now!

Joseph!

Catch up with Marianne!

Come on!

No... I swear this isn't what you think. Please lower your weapon.

Listen to me... Lower that... No! Albert, wait!

Please, do as we ask. Lower your weapon.

Where are my men?

Lower your weapon, no harm will come to them.

You have my word.

Albert.

What have you done?

He got what he deserved.

We have to go, Joseph.

Where is Élise?

Talk!

He knows where she is.

Trust me.

Why are you untying me?

Élise de Montargis could be the one to enlighten this century.

If she dies, all hope is lost.

For you, and for us.

Your friends have left the prison, there's nothing to fear.

She's at the morgue.

Let me out. I'm begging you.

I'm begging you!

Come back!

Help me!

Don't fall asleep. Look at me.

If you save him, he'll testify. You'll be executed.

Breathe!

-Come with us. -Take my hand.

-Joseph... -Go away!

Here. Press down.

Look at me, don't fall asleep!

I'm here.

Disperse.

We'll meet up at the church.

Take cover!

Pérouse's men!

-Hide! -Albert!

No!

If I kill him now, I'll save dozens of lives.

One day, we will need him.

Élise!
