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?

ATHOS:
His plight is obvious, isn't it?
Athos, angry with Aramis' arrogance and insensitivity, leads the Man in the Iron Mask toward the house; then Aramis spots Porthos, looking downcast.
ARAMIS:
And why are you so glum?
PORTHOS:
I expected action. There was no killing, no fighting, I was useless.
In deep depression, Porthos climbs out and shuffles off.
Aramis sighs, shakes his head, and walks to the house.
INT. MANOR HOUSE BEDROOM - NIGHT Athos helps the Man in the Iron Mask onto the bed; the eyes behind the slits in the mask are darting, frightened.
ATHOS:
Are you hungry?
MAN IN THE IRON MASK Just... water.
Athos pours a cupful from the water pitcher on the bed table; but when he tries to help the prisoner drink the liquid spills as the cup bumps the mouth hole.
MAN IN THE IRON MASK This way.
The prisoner manipulates the cup in the way he must to get a drink, then falls back to the pillow.
MAN IN THE IRON MASK This place... I once lived in a country house. I had guardians -- an old man and woman. And tutors.
But no friends. Then when I was twelve, they came and took me to the prison.
ATHOS:
Who came?
MAN IN THE IRON MASK A man in black. I never saw his face. He took me to the cell. A blacksmith came and they put me into the mask. For days I shouted, "What have I done? Why do you do this to me?" But no one heard, so I just stopped shouting.
ATHOS:
And you never knew why?
PRISONER:
I thought... there is something about my face that men do not want to see. Something that makes them cruel. But then I realized they were cruel even when I was wearing the mask. I knew there must be some other reason, but I could not think what it was.
ATHOS:
What is your name?
MAN IN THE IRON MASK The old man and woman called me... Phillippe.
ATHOS:
Phillippe. Rest now.
Athos moves to the door.
MAN IN THE IRON MASK Thank you... for your kindness.
Athos nods, pauses a moment... and leaves.
INT. A DARK APARTMENT IN PARIS - NIGHT The lock rattles, and the door swings open. D'Artagnan enters, lifting a lantern to throw light on the dark room.
