A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

I'm scared.

Could you hold me in your arms?

Just for a second...

Just to calm me down.

Your heart is beating so fast.

Those who have never had an empty belly can't know what hunger is like.

Hunger turns men into ghosts.

It makes them lose their mind,

forget their past.

A starving man learns to lie.

A starving man learns to betray.

His friends.

His family.

The very shadow of his conscience.

I have seen some of the wisest, most enlightened men

sink into madness.

I saw them commit the most odious crimes to satisfy this hunger.

And after that,

the world was never the same again.

Every time the blue blood heals you, you pay the price.

The fits will grow more and more painful, you know that.

I'll keep them under control.

For how long?

Until then, you'll do what's necessary.

They set a trap for us.

And the foreigner?

Where is he?

He escaped with the others.

When was I not sufficiently clear?

I asked one thing of you!

For this man to never be able to talk about what he saw!

I will redeem myself.

I'll make them pay.

This is your last chance.

-Do not disappoint me! -You have my word!

CHAPTER FOUR THE EXECUTIONERS

I was so scared.

Me too.

Do you cry because of the man in the locket?

No.

I was scared, that's all.

I was so afraid I'd never see you again.

Yes?

Your uncle...

He's waiting.

Here.

Could you find their hideout?

No.

You're sure?

I was blindfolded.

And this woman who leads them, did you meet her?

-Her name is Marianne. -So you spoke with her?

No.

Why do I feel like you're hiding something from me?

I'm not hiding anything, uncle.

They abducted you.

-Sealed you in a coffin. -I haven't forgotten.

They defied my authority, that of our order and this family.

They must be punished for it.

What authority?

-You're not the Count of Montargis. -Indeed. But in your father's absence...

-Where is he? -You know quite well. With the king.

You're lying.

I forbid you!

His coach was attacked... by your men.

Who put this in your head? The Baron of Lariboise?

Where is my father? Where is he?

Lariboise is manipulating you.

Are you speaking as an expert?

You are wrong about my ambitions...

You always have been.

Really?

I have known you my whole life.

You think you are so clever.

I've been watching you all these years.

Watching you and learning.

You should get ahold of yourself.

You stopped scaring me a while ago.

Think of Madeleine.

What would happen to her if her sister could no longer take care of her?

The man from the locket, he's sad.

All the time.

How do you know?

I've already explained. But nobody ever believes me.

I want to know, I promise.

The little girl with the mask,

she tells me things...

The one in your dreams?

What did she tell you?

The man Élise loves...

He's dead.

It's the truth. He's dead!

Like Dad! Like Élise soon!

Like everyone here!

The blue blood will kill you all.

The blue blood?

Oka, also known as the cannibal.

Marianne Salier.

Katell Damala.

Jean Cariou.

Do you see what I mean, Doctor?

Where are the Brotherhood rebels hiding?

You think I knew what they were up to, that I'm an accomplice?

Intelligent people catch on faster than others.

-You're wrong. -The downside...

is they think they're smarter.

I'm not lying.

I did my research, Doctor.

You know what he did when he was at Hôtel-Dieu?

He attempted a forbidden surgery.

He took a kidney from a dead person, and put it...

inside another patient.

Even I wouldn't have dared.

What do you call that again, Doctor?

A transplant.

-A? -Transplant!

I admire your boldness.

It almost makes me want to give you a second chance.

Could we try the same thing with a hand?

Hold him!

You wanted to see me?

Ah, perfect timing!

I was trying to establish whether the doctor here

was still lying to me.

He's not lying.

He could have left, but he stayed.

He saved me.

You're saying that he couldn't be their accomplice?

That's what I'm saying.

I believe we're done, Doctor.

One last thing...

I want you to leave town.

Leave. Far away.

And if you ever come back, I'll go visit your priest friend

and believe me, I'll chop off more than his hand.

Got it?

Did you see him?

The man with the blue blood?

I had found him.

He was right in front of me, but he got away.

Who is it?

Their count.

Guy de Montargis?

-Are you sure? -Yes.

I know what his daughter means to you.

What stage has he reached?

Too advanced for us to do anything for him.

He needs to die before the disease spreads.

Where is he?

He's locked up in the Montargis' old hunting lodge.

We'll go alone.

No one can know.

Marianne could help us.

You think they're still your friends. You're wrong.

It's just the two of us.

Get some rest tonight. We leave at dawn.

I recall you being quicker.

And you, less presumptuous.

I know, I changed.

You're wrong.

When I heard you'd died, I wanted to avenge you.

I waited for the Montargis son to leave his castle...

I shot.

The arrow from my crossbow swerved.

I killed his horse with one shot,

but he made it out without a scratch.

He and his friends caught me.

They did what they had to do.

I didn't scream.

I didn't cry.

It made them furious.

Then Donatien de Montargis decided to set his dogs on me...

I came here.

Others joined me.

We shared our anger.

And an oath...

To never again submit.

I'm sorry.

What are you sorry for?

Not having been here.

So what now?

You're leaving again?

Why?

This world is no longer mine.

But we could use you here...

Hello, Joseph.

You can stay here for as long as you need.

Thank you.

I came to say goodbye, Father.

Goodbye?

Where are you headed?

I've always wanted to see Italy...

Africa too.

Why now?

Oka is safe and sound.

The murderer is still at large.

Father, I'm nobody... I don't have power to change things.

Do you know what you and I have in common?

The doctor and the priest.

A belief.

Everyone deserves to be saved.

Do you really believe that?

Yes.

Even the murderer?

Perhaps there lies the test, Joseph.

In the meantime, surely you'll share one last meal with an old friend?

My lord...

Please!

Please. I'll do anything you want.

Please!

My brother has escaped.

Tell your men to search the forest and the town.

-As for you, I want you to fetch my son. -I don't need him.

The blue blood enhances one's senses.

I've seen my brother smell prey from a league away.

If Guy is hiding anywhere, Donatien will find him.

-With all due respect, he's not ready. -Are you questioning my orders?

It will be weeks before he can control himself.

You said that the hunger could drive him mad.

Do you have any idea of what would happen

if the people discovered their count is a murderer?

They would burn our castle

and dance with our heads on spikes!

Go fetch my son.

He's your responsibility.

And after we've found your brother?

Father!

-It's Charlotte... -What's the matter?

She didn't come home, I've looked everywhere.

Calm down.

Did she come here? Have you seen her?

No.

-Justin, wait! -I've got to find her!

Madam.

I need to see Élise. It's very urgent.

What do you have to say to her?

I'll pass it along.

You don't understand. I have to see her.

The police let you go?

What's it to you?

Leave us.

It is my duty to protect Élise.

Including from herself.

She has a tendency to trust everyone.

I don't.

Madam, please, let me see her. It's a matter of life and death.

Another little girl has been abducted.

The police are protecting a murderer. A sick man.

Which disease?

I don't know yet.

-I only know the main symptoms. -I'm listening.

I have to win your trust in order to see Élise?

Exactly.

Extreme aggressiveness.

Increased physical strength.

-Contaminated blood changes color. -What color?

The blood?

Blue.

Madeleine?

Madeleine?

Hello, Madeleine.

Who is this?

I'm a doctor.

You know sign language?

I only know...

some of the basics.

You're a liar!

Madeleine...

Where is Élise?

Can you tell him what you told me?

You and Élise promised

no one would take me to the madhouse!

No.

I'm not taking you anywhere.

You're not the asylum doctor?

No.

Then why are you here?

You need to help me understand something.

Ophélie said you talked about blue blood.

I know you didn't make it up.

Can you tell me more?

The little girl from my dreams told me about it.

In your dreams, right? Okay.

What did this little girl tell you?

What else did she say?

She said the monster is on the hunt.

Could you describe this monster?

It's not his fault. He's sick.

I know.

If you find him, will you hurt him?

I promise I won't.

In my dream, he looked like my father.

Do you have any idea where he could be?

He's at the church.

At the church?

You don't believe me, do you?

No...

It's just that it takes more to convince me, you know?

You're going too fast, I don't understand.

You should believe me, Doctor...

because tonight...

your friend is going to die.

Can I help you, my son?

Do you need a place to sleep?

Come sit down, Father.

Your voice...

My lord?

Life is but a walking shadow.

A poor player...

that struts...

and frets his hour upon the stage,

and then is heard no more.

It is a tale full of sound...

and fury...

My lord, your father has sent me.

...told by an idiot...

We need to find your uncle.

...signifying nothing.

Good evening, Edmond.

How are you, my lord?

Ready to take a bite out of life...

my friend.

Count...

My God, what happened?

I feel like I'm stepping into the darkness.

Rebecca and the others?

I tried...

I tried to resist, but...

this hunger...

I need your help, Father.

There's this girl, Charlotte.

She can't be older than 15.

Did you...

kill her too?

I don't know.

I don't know what I have or haven't done anymore.

-Turn yourself in. -You don't understand.

You came to me for a reason.

The salvation of your soul.

Save your soul, Guy.

I will be there to support you.

You have to turn yourself in.

I'm not here for myself.

I'm here to warn you.

Warn me about what?

Soon all the nobles in the kingdom will be like me.

What's brewing behind the gates of Versailles will change history.

Forever.

Versailles?

This disease is no accident, Father.

This is a plan by the king to defy God and death.

Someone's here.

The church is closed, my son.

How does it go again?

Take this and eat it,

this is my body.

Donatien!

What have you done?

Uncle...

How lovely to see you again.

TO THE COUNTESS ÉLISE DE MONTARGIS

Albert.

Versailles.

The Count of Montargis isn't the only contaminated noble.

Is that what you were plotting?

Dooming your own son to live with this curse.

I saved him.

You have no idea what you've done.

You have lost sight of our objectives.

'Tis the time's plague when madmen...

lead the blind.

'Tis the time's plague when the weak govern.

His Majesty offered you a privilege, and you wasted it.

A privilege?

Immortality?

You fool!

This is by no means a privilege.

This a trap that Louis set for all of us.

Don't speak nonsense.

The 12 families were summoned to Versailles.

And Louis poisoned us.

-And why would he do that? -To ensure that nobility will be eternal.

What is brewing will change the world.

And Louis won't succeed without us.

And you wish to stop him?

Believe me, we have no choice.

The duty of the nobles is to protect the people from the king.

You're right, you leave me no choice.

Betraying the king is punishable by death.

For the traitor...

and for his family.

And as you know, I have sworn to protect it.

It is written that you cannot kill what is dead.

Unless you cut off the head.

Father... Stay with me.

Stay with me.

-Joseph... -Yes, I'm here.

Remember...

Yes.

Everyone deserves...

To be saved, yes, I know.

Don't move.

Save them, Joseph.

Yes.

Save them all.

Take...

Lazarus...

Lazarus...

SAINT LAZARUS OF JERUSALEM

I have failed.

I failed to protect this family.

This county.

My own brother.

Consequently, I refuse the inheritance that is my right by blood and by the law.

Politics requires wisdom...

and ardor.

I solemnly swear to obey the new count.

To obey him in everything.

The count is dead, long live the count!

Please welcome the one to whom you will pledge allegiance and obey.

My son!

Impossible...

He's walking...

Don't touch him...

Don't touch him...

It has begun.

Everyone is going to die.
