Long live the Brotherhood!

CHAPTER FIVE THE BLUE BLOOD

I've packed your bags.

The horses are ready.

And why did you do that?

Because you have to leave.

You mean flee?

Write to your mother's sister.

She'll take you in.

She'll protect you from Donatien.

I'm staying here.

After what happened?

No, my lady... You can't be serious.

I am the legitimate heir to this county.

-Donatien has no right to my title. -I know, but he's dangerous.

I don't have the right to give up.

First, I need to ask you a question.

Tell me.

You know who Madeleine really is, right?

Yes.

So you understand why you have to protect her.

Yes.

Whatever happens to me.

Whatever happens.

Swear to me you'll give your life for her.

I swear it.

They murdered him in his church. Like a dog.

Like a dog, Oka!

You can't change the past.

Father Maxence took me in, raised me.

-I should have saved him. -Control your emotions.

We can't abandon the Brotherhood!

They helped us, Oka.

Without them, you'd be dead.

The epidemic is growing.

You know what we have to do?

Find the source of this evil!

Joseph risked his life to save you.

We used them.

Now you're asking me to leave and abandon them?

You heard the new count's orders?

He's planning a massacre.

Some have to be sacrificed in order to save others.

They don't even know what's coming.

I have to protect them.

And who will protect them from you?

You taught me how to control myself.

Didn't you?

Joseph?

Joseph...

Listen to me.

-I have no time to waste. Go away. -Neither do I.

You must listen.

I must listen to you?

Do you know what I had to overcome to become a doctor?

What it cost me?

-I'll never be allowed to practice again. -At least you had the opportunity to.

I didn't.

-I nearly died because of you. -Oh, stop!

You aren't dead, are you?

Go away.

-No. -Katell, please.

Go away.

No.

This time, whether you like it or not, you won't succeed alone.

And I'm here to help you.

How do you know this place?

This is where I learned everything I know.

Yes.

With Father Maxence.

May he rest in peace.

He shared the knowledge of the world with others too.

He used to say that this place was the only university open to women.

Did he tell you to come here?

Yes.

Why?

No more lies.

I've never made promises to anyone.

I'm not about to start now.

What are we looking for?

A cure.

Guy de Montargis was sick.

Rebecca and the others,

that's why the police were covering his crimes.

Guy de Montargis is dead now.

His blood was contagious.

I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but imagine if he contaminated others.

If what you say is true, it's not books we need.

It's weapons.

You don't kill a sick person, you cure them.

A disease is like a living being.

It's there, it moves, it evolves...

It changes, it adapts.

It's never entirely new.

There must be examples of similar cases.

Your goal is to understand the origins of the disease...

To find a way to cure for it, exactly.

If you find the rebels, show no mercy.

Put out everything! Someone's coming.

Let's go!

There's nothing here.

Nothing but bats, boss!

Rats with wings.

Get your things, one bag per person.

-We're leaving. -Where?

-We'll find something. -No.

You'll end up scattering. You can't do that.

Should we starve here, waiting for them to return?

Pérouse will hunt you down.

If you're scattered, he'll kill you one by one.

You see him?

What do you think will happen if we're found?

Think he knows how to fight?

You don't understand.

Everyone will have to fight.

Your friends in town,

they're dying so as not to betray you.

No. I won't take part in this.

Men gave their lives to get you out of prison.

Albert, stop!

Come with me.

Let me.

I cannot cure you.

But I can give you some respite.

Enough for you to go see her.

Élise is not like her family.

She can help us.

Don't talk nonsense.

I will take her her father's letters.

She'll do anything to protect her people.

You don't know what this temptation is like.

This hunger...

But I can't run away again.

Not this time.

I will help you.

Who are you?

Madeleine?

I know how you feel.

I'm sad too.

Who killed Daddy?

They say it was the rebels.

That's not true.

I know.

The monsters killed him.

Madeleine!

Look at me.

You mustn't say that.

It's dangerous.

I know you're keeping quiet to protect me.

But you can't let them do this.

Calm down.

You have to avenge Daddy.

You have to go see him.

He's waiting for you. I saw him, in my dreams.

The little girl with the mask, she wanted me to meet him.

I thought I'd made myself clear.

About what, Father?

You must learn to control yourself.

Your new nature must remain a secret.

And you can't feed here.

Why hide?

The people have always been there to feed us.

This way or another, what's the difference?

Don't you understand?

A fearful people obeys.

A people with nothing to lose will end up revolting, you poor fool!

You're forgetting this fool is the Count of Montargis.

You think you can still give him orders?

You let vermin multiply on his land.

They defied him.

Insulted him.

You want him, Donatien, to prove himself worthy of his privilege?

Very well.

From now on,

he will maintain order on his land himself.

Gentlemen!

His weight in gold...

will be given to the one who kills the most rebels!

The hunt is open!

When did you last eat?

I'm not hungry, thanks.

Come on!

Eat.

My father was a poacher.

He said he'd rather die young, but with his belly full.

When we came here, the Montargis proved him right. They hanged him.

For a hare...

And you?

Your family?

I have no family.

Albert?

We grew up together in the orphanage.

I admired him.

Because he wasn't afraid of anything.

I thought we had to have the same father.

Whereas Albert, well...

He didn't even see me. I was just a...

a rugrat running around him.

The kids threw me in the river, to see if I could swim.

Albert pulled me out.

Then, he looked at me differently.

He said when you save someone, you're responsible for them.

He'd call me his little brother.

In front of everyone.

He'd say to them, "That one there...

that's my brother."

Talking about me.

I was proud.

Because he was protecting me.

It was like having a family.

I've always been good at deluding myself.

Where are you going?

We need allies.

Are you going to see your countess?

-She'll listen to me. -She'll have you killed.

You don't know her!

She's a Montargis, that's enough. You forgot what they did to you. Not me.

I have to take this risk.

Marianne, please.

Élise is the only one who could stand up to the count.

Why do you think I'm prepared to take this risk as well?

Because you have no choice.

Or else what?

Or else, you will all die.

-We'll decide how. -You don't know what you're talking about.

Albert, show her.

Something worse is brewing...

Worse than anything you could imagine.

You think I got to choose?

-Where's your brother? -I don't know.

No...

-Where's your brother? -I don't know, my lord!

No!

-Where are the rebels hiding! -I don't know!

Oh, my God.

How moving, bravo!

My lord.

You shouldn't be here.

This place is beneath you.

On the contrary, my friend.

I've given this a lot of thought.

My uncle's mistake was cutting himself off from his people.

I want to establish connections with my subjects.

Feed off of them.

Drinks for everyone!

Come on, help yourself! Do as he says.

I said everyone... Him too.

Oh! Mine!

Edmond, you disappoint me.

You've been toiling away for years.

And look what it got you.

A poor fellow pissing himself.

"Right, my lord! I'm incompetent, my lord!"

Edmond!

I believe you've lost your touch.

When a guard dog rebels...

it should remember who its master is now.

I won't forget.

I think you've become very bitter, Edmond.

From now on, I'm taking matters...

into my own hands.

Come on.

No, my lord!

No!

Lazarus...

Countess!

Countess!

You can't go out by yourself.

The count requests that you be accompanied.

Go in.

This time, it's loaded.

For a minute, I thought you'd come back for us.

For me.

You must have thought me naive.

I'm only asking you to listen.

Your weapons.

Put down your weapons.

What I saw on that street is impossible.

You should be dead.

You never should have seen that.

Pérouse stabbed you in the heart. I saw it!

I saw you die in front of my eyes and come back to life.

I want the truth...

-You won't like it... -The truth!

Please.

My God, your heart...

It's not beating.

It's impossible.

You wanted the truth.

There is no other.

I came to find the one who did this to me.

Her name is Naïs.

Her blood is a curse.

No, this makes no sense.

Your father met her too.

He became contaminated.

He explained it all in this letter.

Maybe you'll believe him.

Do you smell that?

No?

A woman,

brunette,

poor...

"Élise... If by some miracle, this confession reaches you,

it means there is still hope.

I am guilty of having spilled the blood of innocent girls.

This disease that poisons my veins has turned me into a monster.

I must pay for my crimes, atone for the sins that blacken my soul.

If I even still have one.

You must protect Madeleine, our family, and fight for our subjects, our people.

Forgive me.

Pray for me.

Your father who loves you."

What do you want from me?

Gather all the nobles who share your ideas.

You must convince them to fight...

alongside us.

An alliance...

The nobility and the Third Estate.

Élise...

Without this alliance, no one can stop this plague.

You're asking me to ally with those who wish me dead?

No.

No...

I'm asking you to guide them.

And protect them.

All right.

Joseph...

Look...

Saint Lazarus...

Move over.

Let me.

Katell, wait.

"The sinking of the Rosemary..."

It looks like a travel log.

These are notes by the crew's first mate.

"October 7th.

New Orleans."

"Anno Domini 1786.

Calm sea,

west wind.

Thank God, we will finally set sail.

We were waiting for our most prestigious passenger,

one of His Majesty's doctors.

In great secret, he had something carried into his cabin

and forbade anyone to go near it.

They say it's a present for the king himself."

"October 23rd.

The mood onboard is sinking.

The men are complaining of recurrent nightmares.

They all speak of a mysterious little girl.

I struggle greatly to understand their accounts.

I'm suspecting that our food was contaminated with ergot fungus.

I'd like to ask the king's doctor for advice, but...

he has refused to leave his cabin since we set sail."

"November 3rd.

Third suicide onboard.

The men are seized by violence and madness,

pushed to their limit by incessant nightmares.

I keep seeing her myself..."

"November 13th.

I must resolve to throw this demon overboard before we arrive.

I am now convinced.

Killing her is the only way to stop this evil.

May the Lord give me strength."

That's all.

Mister de Lariboise, can I count on you to depose Donatien?

The nights to come will be full of betrayal and fear.

Are you prepared for that?

The light only comes after the darkest nights.

Then I have your word?

I am at your service, Countess.

Ask, and I will obey.

Good.

Who are these people?

These are our allies.

They went to America to find a sick man.

They brought him to France.

But what for?

I have no idea.

But going by these notes,

this is our patient zero.

The one that contaminated Guy de Montargis.

The count was at court, right?

You mean this evil is in Versailles?

There is no one here.

Oh, no...

They are here.
