i understand you saved my son's life today.
and you were not hurt?
that is good.
please, just.  go away.
oh god i -- forgive me.
no, stay back! stay back!
d'artagnan!
if i don't kiss you, i die anyway.
nothing.  nothing.
nothing. this.  didn't happen. i must go back now.
then we will both die traitors, d'artagnan.
bless me father, for i have sinned.
father belles -- ?!
they told me you were dead.
may i speak with you? alone?
we haven't visited in three years. and we should have privacy.
i wish to discuss your brother.
first they told me he had died at birth. then your father admitted he was alive, but well cared for, in secret. but the message that told of his death said he had been a prisoner.
he was my blood -- and i demand to know what happened to him.
because i have dreamed of him. not as the baby they took away, but as a man.
i believe in dreams, louis. they are our souls speaking to us, from that world beyond our eyes. and that son i never saw in daylight was standing in the moonlight of my dreams. and he wore an iron mask.
yes. dead. two nights ago. the night of my dream.
then you did do it, louis. you did put your brother in an iron mask.
i retire now. wait two waltzes, then retire to your room; and spend the night in safety. we have much to talk about, and have the rest of our lives to do it.
good night.  my son.
d'artagnan.
we have much to discuss. tomorrow.
louis, please -- !
he is your brother!
no, louis! no!
i couldn't tell you. you had enough to carry.
d'artagnan -- ?
