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?

The prisoner dangles, tied wrist and ankle, from around Aramis' neck.
ATHOS:
My God... Athos, Porthos, and the others gawk at the sight of the Man in the Iron Mask, as Aramis loosens the ropes. As they back away from him, he sees the sky. Endless blue -- and bright.
He shields his eyes.
ARAMIS:
It's all right. Take your time.
Aramis helps him up, and turn him slowly around, to face... The fortress/prison, in the distance.
THE PRISONER'S POV FROM WITHIN THE MASK: A vast vista -- the sky, the sea, and the prison on the island in the middle of it all. The prisoner falls to his knees, and weeps.
ARAMIS:
Athos... He needs a gentle hand.
Athos moves over hesitantly, and puts his hand on the shoulder of the Man in the Iron Mask, who holds his hands against the mask as if to further hide his shame.
INT. THE PRISON - DAY The guards are standing in the cell, looking down at the body now wearing the mask, the man they think was their prisoner.
The guards are quiet, alone.
GUARD 1 You ever wonder who he was?
GUARD 2 No... Yes. But I never asked -- and you better not either.
They wrap the body, still in its mask, in a weighted sack.
EXT. PRISON - DAY The prison's WARDEN GENERAL stands at the wall of the fortress high above the sea and watches as his guards throw off the body, wrapped in canvas weighted with stones. As the corpse makes a long fall and crashes into the sea, the Warden writes a message on a royal scroll: THE UNSEEN PRISONER IS DEAD.
The Warden seals the scroll and hands it to a messenger.
EXT. COUNTRY ESTATE - NIGHT A carriage pulls into a country estate, isolated among vast woodlands silver in the moonlight. Mysterious servants with shielded lanterns converge on the carriage as it stops.
INT. CARRIAGE - NIGHT Athos reaches for his sword, but Aramis stops his hand.
ARAMIS:
Jesuits.
EXT. MANOR HOUSE COURTYARD - NIGHT Aramis emerges quickly, whispering directives to the Jesuits; Athos helps the Man in the Iron Mask from the carriage, his head shrouded by a cloak.
Aramis has a blacksmith waiting; almost before he realizes it the Man in the Iron Mask finds his head placed on an anvil; but as the hammer rises he begins to scream.
MAN IN THE IRON MASK No! Please!
ARAMIS:
What is wrong? We only mean to free you from the mask!
But the prisoner is shaking, and Athos understands why.
ATHOS:
Prison was horrible but it was his home. He's been torn from it by strangers. He's frightened, exhausted -- and the mask is familiar. Let him rest in it tonight, and remove it tomorrow.
ARAMIS:
Excellent, Athos. You have a keen sense of this man.
