When a young soldier dies for the sake of a shag, Aramis, Athos and Porthos band together with a plan to replace the king. Unknown to many, there is a 2nd king, a twin, hidden at birth, then imprisoned for 6 years behind an iron mask. All that remains now is D'Artagnan, will he stand against his long time friends, or do what is best for his country?

MAN IN THE IRON MASK I... tore my Bible. Or someone else did. But it was all right. "Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in Thy sight, Oh Lord our God and My Redeemer." Aramis has stopped talking, and stares transfixed at this sight of the prisoner, in the iron mask.
MAN IN THE IRON MASK I'm sorry. You're never seen me before. I must frighten you.
Aramis puts his finger to his lips.
MAN IN THE IRON MASK What are you doing? Why do you -- Aramis clamps his hand over the mouth hole, and whispers --
ARAMIS:
I am a friend, here to help you.
Aramis hurriedly removes his robes, revealing the bundle.
MAN IN THE IRON MASK What -- ?
ARAMIS:
It is an escape. To freedom.
MAN IN THE IRON MASK Freedom...?
He says it as if the concept is beyond him. Aramis undoes the bundle, revealing the limp body.
MAN IN THE IRON MASK Wh-- ? He is dead! Who is he?
ARAMIS:
He is you.
Aramis uncovers the head of the body. It is covered in a mask, identical to the prisoner's.
INT. PRISON CORRIDOR - CELL The Guards are sharing a bottle of wine, when they hear --
ARAMIS:
Hey! Hey!
GUARD:
What now?
INT. CELL The guards enter to find the Man in the Iron Mask slumped on the floor. Aramis, looking like the fat priest again, stands over him spouting Italian, as one GUARD translates --
GUARD:
He says he just fell stone dead as he was reading him the Mass.
HEAD GUARD: I never thought the bugger would last this long. But how could he just keel over and -- Aramis rattles off more Italian, and suddenly the guard who understands it stops examining the body and backs off.
GUARD:
He says the prisoner has the fever, just like the little priest does.
HEAD GUARD: Plague? They brought plague in here? Get him out of here. Now!
Aramis rattles off a protest in Italian.
GUARD:
No, no last rites! Get away!
EXT. PRISON - DAY Aramis climbs into the boat; as he sits down his belly stirs, but the guards don't see it -- they are using poles to push the boat away, into the sea.
EXT. THE COASTLINE - DAY Athos and Porthos stand as the boat reaches the shore, and tucks in among the rocks. Sheltered from the view from the prison, Aramis steps from the boat and removes his robes.
