1:47:07
Hurry along, little friends.
1:47:10
Hurry along!
Keep your heads down.

1:47:14
Come along, there,
men! All of you!

1:47:17
We'll take the coast road,
but stay close to the trees!

1:47:26
And I say again,
sire! Never, sire,

1:47:29
never was there
such infamous treason.

1:47:32
Not only is this
man the Black Fox,

1:47:34
but he and his despicable accomplice,
have the shameful effrontery,

1:47:39
to shelter in this castle,
the miserable child,

1:47:43
they would put on
your very throne!

1:47:45
What's this?
What say you, Ravenhurst?

1:47:49
I repeat, sire. The child they
would put on your throne.

1:47:52
The child...
1:47:55
with the purple pimpernel?
1:47:57
The very same, sire.
Bring forth the basket!

1:48:01
Let me see this
fraud, this charlatan.

1:48:05
Hurry up, hurry up,
bring it here.

1:48:08
In a moment, sire.
1:48:09
But first let me hear you pronounce
sentence on this unholy pair.

1:48:15
I know how anxious you are to
dispose of this villainous scum,

1:48:20
so that you may proceed
with the feast and the revelry.

1:48:23
Sire, I accuse these impostors
1:48:26
of the foulest and most loathsome
crime against the crown,

1:48:30
and I demand,
1:48:32
that they be given the full
measure of your righteous wrath,

1:48:36
and shall be disposed of
before another hour is past.

1:48:40
I tell you, sire, the headsman's axe is
too kind a fate for these foul traitors.

1:48:46
They should be put on a spit,
and roasted like yon boar!

1:48:50
Yes, yes, death
to both of them.

1:48:53
Father, I say
Ravenhurst lies.

1:48:56
This is Giacomo, king of jesters,
and never the Black Fox.
