that he decided to make one
disappear. You, Phillippe!

:53:04
He ordered your identity
kept from you.

:53:08
On his deathbed,
he revealed the truth to Louis

:53:11
and your mother.
:53:12
She had been told
you died at birth.

:53:15
She blamed herself
for believing it.

:53:19
She wished to restore
your birthright.

:53:23
But now, Louis was King.
:53:25
He was afraid to kill you,
:53:27
for his claim to power
:53:29
rested on the sanctity
of royal blood.

:53:32
So he devised a way
:53:34
to keep you forever hidden.
:53:38
For my country, for my king...
:53:42
I bought peace with your life
:53:47
and with my soul.

We will replace Louis
with Phillippe.

:54:06
That is your plan?
:54:08
Exchanging one for the other?
:54:11
It's ludicrous!
:54:12
It's brilliant. What did
you think we were up to?

:54:15
Revolution, open war!
:54:17
Blood in the streets.
:54:19
At least it's a change.
:54:20
Physical resemblance is a start,
but Louis' arrogance...

:54:24
...can be adopted!
:54:26
And people close to him?
:54:28
I have considered everything.
:54:30
Have you considered
you not only risk our lives,

:54:34
you risk Phillippe's as well?
:54:36
And like us, he has a choice.
:54:41
What about it, Phillippe?
:54:44
All those years in prison,
were they for nothing?

:54:48
Or have they given you strength
unlike ordinary men?

:54:53
You have the chance to be king,
:54:56
if you have the heart
to take that chance,
