The House at Bellac

Overview

Étienne confesses that he helped hide evidence during Maximilien’s arrest years earlier. Maximilien points a gun at him and almost kills him but stops himself at the last moment. Étienne breaks down and says he has lived with the guilt ever since. Maximilien forgives him, and they speak about the years they lost and the people they failed. With Maximilien’s support, Étienne returns to his hometown with his family and leaves the rebellion for good. Duval begins preparing to flee France as support for the empire collapses.
