1
00:00:12,222 --> 00:00:15,725
Versailles, July 14th 1789
2
00:00:42,001 --> 00:00:43,127
Sidonie.
3
00:00:43,545 --> 00:00:45,588
What time is it?
It's Louison.
4
00:00:46,297 --> 00:00:47,465
Six fifteen.
5
00:00:48,550 --> 00:00:49,926
What do you want?
6
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,345
Can I see the clock?
7
00:00:52,512 --> 00:00:55,181
- For the hundredth time?
- Come on.
8
00:00:57,058 --> 00:00:57,892
Go away.
9
00:00:58,059 --> 00:00:58,768
Can I come in?
10
00:01:03,273 --> 00:01:04,941
Guess who I slept with.
11
00:01:05,316 --> 00:01:06,651
I don't care.
12
00:01:13,199 --> 00:01:15,410
You'll end up an old maid!
13
00:01:19,497 --> 00:01:20,540
Go away!
14
00:01:50,277 --> 00:01:54,073
FAREWELL, MY QUEEN
15
00:02:16,929 --> 00:02:19,182
The Queen wants me at the Trianon.
16
00:02:19,349 --> 00:02:21,142
- She slept there?
- Her choice.
17
00:02:22,977 --> 00:02:24,270
Jasmine or violet?
18
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:26,314
Violet.
19
00:02:32,570 --> 00:02:34,197
How is Madame de Bargue?
20
00:02:34,364 --> 00:02:35,657
She vomited all night.
21
00:02:35,823 --> 00:02:38,660
The more he cheats, the more she eats.
22
00:02:42,372 --> 00:02:44,707
Thanks, Alice. I feel much better.
23
00:02:47,251 --> 00:02:48,753
Forgetting something?
24
00:03:10,316 --> 00:03:11,609
Hurry up!
25
00:03:14,112 --> 00:03:15,071
10 minutes late!
26
00:03:15,238 --> 00:03:17,865
Why did we lend you Mr. Janvier's clock?
27
00:03:18,032 --> 00:03:19,534
Sorry, Madame Campan.
28
00:03:19,909 --> 00:03:21,327
And you're filthy.
29
00:03:30,837 --> 00:03:33,589
- Did Her Majesty sleep well?
- No, in fact.
30
00:03:34,507 --> 00:03:38,720
A terrible nightmare.
Madame de Soubise found her in tears.
31
00:03:52,567 --> 00:03:54,569
- What will you read?
- Marivaux.
32
00:03:54,736 --> 00:03:56,070
Forget it.
33
00:03:56,237 --> 00:03:59,657
I'd suggest...
Bossuet's "Funeral Orations".
34
00:04:00,032 --> 00:04:02,368
- Marie-Thérése of Austria's?
- Perfect.
35
00:04:02,535 --> 00:04:05,788
The Queen takes comfort
in all things Austrian.
36
00:04:11,169 --> 00:04:12,920
Mademoiselle Laborde!
37
00:04:13,087 --> 00:04:15,923
And so early.
How can I show my gratitude?
38
00:04:16,090 --> 00:04:20,219
For Her Majesty I'd take longer journeys,
if she so desired.
39
00:04:20,553 --> 00:04:23,556
I know how fully devoted you are.
Come closer.
40
00:04:25,683 --> 00:04:27,226
A cup of coffee.
41
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,315
Try this treasure from the isles.
42
00:04:32,523 --> 00:04:35,026
Every mouth that tastes it, smiles.
43
00:04:36,194 --> 00:04:37,987
See that?
I made a rhyme.
44
00:04:38,446 --> 00:04:39,697
Burn your tongue?
45
00:04:40,072 --> 00:04:41,699
Barely, Your Majesty.
46
00:04:41,866 --> 00:04:43,117
It is delicious.
47
00:04:43,785 --> 00:04:45,703
Take your time, mademoiselle.
48
00:04:46,454 --> 00:04:48,706
What do you wish to read to me?
49
00:04:49,415 --> 00:04:52,919
I was thinking...
Bossuet's oration for Marie-Thérése.
50
00:04:54,003 --> 00:04:55,588
How dismal!
51
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,716
Poor woman spent her life bored stiff.
52
00:04:59,509 --> 00:05:01,803
Know what she said on her deathbed?
53
00:05:02,261 --> 00:05:06,849
"Since I've been Queen,
I've known only one day of happiness!"
54
00:05:07,183 --> 00:05:09,435
And no one ever knew which one.
55
00:05:10,645 --> 00:05:12,396
No, please.
56
00:05:13,189 --> 00:05:15,858
Find me something a little...
57
00:05:16,734 --> 00:05:18,110
...a little frivolous.
58
00:05:18,736 --> 00:05:21,489
I also thought of "The Life of Marianne".
59
00:05:21,906 --> 00:05:23,491
Chapter two.
60
00:05:23,699 --> 00:05:26,410
When Valville bumps into her after Mass.
61
00:05:29,121 --> 00:05:30,957
I'm fine with Marivaux.
62
00:05:31,541 --> 00:05:33,793
But I prefer plays to novels.
63
00:05:34,293 --> 00:05:36,128
Go get...
64
00:05:37,255 --> 00:05:38,881
..."Félicie" from my library.
65
00:05:39,423 --> 00:05:41,008
Right away, Your Majesty.
66
00:05:47,056 --> 00:05:48,015
So?
67
00:05:48,266 --> 00:05:50,142
It's all going wonderfully.
68
00:05:50,434 --> 00:05:52,311
I'm off to the library.
69
00:05:53,729 --> 00:05:55,982
"It certainly is a fine day.
70
00:05:56,148 --> 00:05:58,860
"We've been walking for a long while.
71
00:05:59,026 --> 00:06:01,487
"The pleasure of being with you...
72
00:06:01,821 --> 00:06:05,658
"...which is always great,
has never been so intense.
73
00:06:05,992 --> 00:06:08,202
"I do believe you love me, Felicie.
74
00:06:08,369 --> 00:06:09,829
"Do you, Madame?
75
00:06:10,413 --> 00:06:11,455
"What?
76
00:06:11,956 --> 00:06:14,959
"You've only become aware of this now?
77
00:06:15,501 --> 00:06:19,380
"You, the source of all things worthy
in my heart and soul?
78
00:06:19,547 --> 00:06:22,133
"You've always been the object of my..."
79
00:06:22,300 --> 00:06:24,594
Why are you scratching so much?
80
00:06:24,969 --> 00:06:26,387
Mosquito bites.
81
00:06:27,889 --> 00:06:29,140
Let me see.
82
00:06:29,307 --> 00:06:30,474
I'm sorry.
83
00:06:33,185 --> 00:06:34,270
Augustine!
84
00:06:34,645 --> 00:06:36,355
Fetch Madame Campan.
85
00:06:37,523 --> 00:06:39,066
Know where they come from?
86
00:06:39,984 --> 00:06:41,110
The swamp!
87
00:06:41,444 --> 00:06:45,656
To think it's with that stagnant water
that we wash ourselves.
88
00:06:45,823 --> 00:06:47,658
I hear there are even rats.
89
00:06:47,909 --> 00:06:48,910
Disgusting!
90
00:06:49,076 --> 00:06:50,661
Your Majesty sent for me.
91
00:06:50,828 --> 00:06:52,163
Yes, Madame Campan.
92
00:06:52,330 --> 00:06:53,289
Be so kind...
93
00:06:53,456 --> 00:06:57,043
...as to fetch some rosewood water
for Mademoiselle Laborde.
94
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,587
It's all so repulsive.
95
00:07:00,671 --> 00:07:03,758
If it keeps up,
we'll soon live in a sewer.
96
00:07:05,051 --> 00:07:06,719
I truly am sorry.
97
00:07:08,304 --> 00:07:10,848
Would you like to return to "Félicie"?
98
00:07:11,807 --> 00:07:12,808
That's enough.
99
00:07:13,225 --> 00:07:15,353
Read from the fashion magazines.
100
00:07:15,519 --> 00:07:17,772
Wasn't it you who brought it?
101
00:07:20,066 --> 00:07:21,567
I'm listening.
102
00:07:23,986 --> 00:07:27,031
"Dresses are trimmed with silver and gold.
103
00:07:27,657 --> 00:07:30,284
"The preferred ornaments of the day...
104
00:07:30,451 --> 00:07:32,954
"...are made of tulle or mesh...
105
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,164
"...with garlands of various flowers...
106
00:07:35,331 --> 00:07:38,292
"...attached by clasps
shaped as lover's knots."
107
00:07:41,420 --> 00:07:42,588
Go on.
108
00:07:44,632 --> 00:07:47,176
"Chinese tassels are then added,...
109
00:07:47,343 --> 00:07:50,346
"...or horns of plenty,
flowing with flowers..."
110
00:07:50,763 --> 00:07:52,974
Further on... the embroidery.
111
00:07:55,476 --> 00:07:58,896
"Embroidered linen camisoles
in various colors...
112
00:07:59,438 --> 00:08:03,526
"...have been forsaken
in favor of embroidered dresses..."
113
00:08:04,068 --> 00:08:05,987
I have an idea for my dresses!
114
00:08:06,821 --> 00:08:09,532
Have Madame d'Ossun bring my finery book.
115
00:08:11,575 --> 00:08:14,453
An embroidery... of a dahlia.
116
00:08:16,205 --> 00:08:17,415
See?
117
00:08:20,876 --> 00:08:22,211
Yes, Madame Campan?
118
00:08:23,462 --> 00:08:24,380
I forgot!
119
00:08:24,839 --> 00:08:26,090
Give it to me.
120
00:08:28,092 --> 00:08:29,510
Excellent promptness.
121
00:08:31,137 --> 00:08:32,722
Show me your arm.
122
00:08:33,347 --> 00:08:34,932
How scandalous!
123
00:08:35,516 --> 00:08:37,893
Pretty little arm, perfectly pudgy.
124
00:08:42,982 --> 00:08:44,316
Rosewood water...
125
00:08:44,608 --> 00:08:46,861
...is very good at soothing itches.
126
00:09:02,460 --> 00:09:03,919
I no longer feel a thing.
127
00:09:08,382 --> 00:09:09,675
Madame d'Ossun!
128
00:09:09,967 --> 00:09:11,844
Come closer.
129
00:09:12,428 --> 00:09:13,554
Give me my notebook.
130
00:09:14,930 --> 00:09:18,893
I have a fabric here
that would work fabulously...
131
00:09:19,101 --> 00:09:21,604
...with this embroidery idea...
132
00:09:34,325 --> 00:09:35,034
Here.
133
00:09:36,452 --> 00:09:38,746
Ask what Madame Bertin thinks.
134
00:09:39,663 --> 00:09:40,748
Just heavenly.
135
00:09:47,338 --> 00:09:49,465
Scratching yourself before the Queen?
136
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,092
We will discuss this!
137
00:10:17,284 --> 00:10:18,661
Are you really Italian?
138
00:10:19,495 --> 00:10:21,080
Can't you hear?
139
00:10:22,123 --> 00:10:23,958
A grand Venetian family.
140
00:10:25,501 --> 00:10:26,627
What's it about?
141
00:10:26,961 --> 00:10:28,838
It's best you never know.
142
00:10:29,130 --> 00:10:31,340
- Why not?
- It's a love song.
143
00:10:32,716 --> 00:10:34,093
How unoriginal.
144
00:10:35,886 --> 00:10:36,804
The Duchess!
145
00:10:41,684 --> 00:10:43,394
Know Gabrielle de Polignac?
146
00:10:44,186 --> 00:10:46,272
The entire court knows her.
147
00:10:47,690 --> 00:10:50,359
I'm not of the court, but I hear things.
148
00:10:51,110 --> 00:10:52,611
The Queen is infatuated.
149
00:10:54,530 --> 00:10:56,949
And supposedly Gabrielle de Polignac...
150
00:10:57,158 --> 00:10:58,993
...takes no heed of her husband.
151
00:10:59,785 --> 00:11:01,036
Very loose morals.
152
00:11:02,246 --> 00:11:03,414
No concern of mine.
153
00:11:03,747 --> 00:11:05,332
I should know.
154
00:11:05,833 --> 00:11:07,543
She loves our gondola rides.
155
00:11:07,793 --> 00:11:09,170
Can you row faster?
156
00:11:09,503 --> 00:11:10,796
You'll see.
157
00:11:11,172 --> 00:11:13,674
She'll dismiss her maid to see me.
158
00:11:15,426 --> 00:11:17,887
Last time she wanted to see {\i1}il mio cazzo{\i0}.
159
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:19,763
Know what that is?
160
00:11:20,055 --> 00:11:21,557
I don't want to.
161
00:11:22,141 --> 00:11:23,851
- Your name?
- Shut up now.
162
00:11:24,935 --> 00:11:26,770
Can you please turn around?
163
00:11:48,584 --> 00:11:51,045
Shall I accompany you, Duchess?
164
00:11:51,212 --> 00:11:52,713
No need, Madame Tournon.
165
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,924
Nothing to fear with Paolo.
166
00:11:56,217 --> 00:11:58,344
How is the Queen?
167
00:11:58,844 --> 00:12:00,262
Excellent spirits.
168
00:12:03,098 --> 00:12:06,644
It seems bread is getting
scarcer and scarcer in Paris.
169
00:12:07,228 --> 00:12:10,189
That's how the wolves leave the forest.
170
00:12:10,606 --> 00:12:12,733
What nonsense are you talking now?
171
00:12:13,067 --> 00:12:14,777
What I hear all over.
172
00:12:14,944 --> 00:12:16,237
You're rambling.
173
00:12:17,112 --> 00:12:20,241
At my age,
I look at the truth straight on.
174
00:12:20,407 --> 00:12:23,285
The truth is,
we're safe at Versailles.
175
00:12:37,841 --> 00:12:39,885
Ever tell the Queen you sew?
176
00:12:40,052 --> 00:12:41,387
Of course not.
177
00:12:41,804 --> 00:12:44,223
To end up her permanent embroiderer?
178
00:12:44,390 --> 00:12:47,685
But Marie-Antoinette
prefers finery to books.
179
00:12:49,395 --> 00:12:50,854
I won't see her again.
180
00:12:52,231 --> 00:12:54,441
The thought of it is unbearable.
181
00:12:59,363 --> 00:13:00,739
I hate this job,...
182
00:13:00,906 --> 00:13:03,200
...and my mistress for dumping it on us.
183
00:13:06,870 --> 00:13:08,580
You're twice as fast!
184
00:13:10,165 --> 00:13:11,333
Don't stain the trees.
185
00:13:11,500 --> 00:13:13,752
We'll say they're giant poppies.
186
00:13:15,671 --> 00:13:17,214
And my back hurts.
187
00:13:17,798 --> 00:13:19,341
And I'm hungry.
188
00:13:19,508 --> 00:13:22,011
Enough of this unending tapestry!
189
00:13:25,264 --> 00:13:28,517
For me,
it's like a journey to a faraway land.
190
00:13:29,685 --> 00:13:33,147
I know how the Queen
can stare at her finery for hours.
191
00:13:34,273 --> 00:13:36,442
That's when she forgets she's Queen.
192
00:13:36,734 --> 00:13:38,360
I never forget who I am.
193
00:13:38,652 --> 00:13:40,612
Batty, you and her both!
194
00:13:45,159 --> 00:13:47,161
You know a boy named Paolo?
195
00:13:47,828 --> 00:13:50,247
Gondolier at Petite Venise?
He's René.
196
00:13:50,414 --> 00:13:52,207
He's been there two weeks.
197
00:13:56,086 --> 00:13:57,588
But he speaks Italian.
198
00:13:57,921 --> 00:14:01,050
He's a penniless actor,
a natural-born liar.
199
00:14:01,592 --> 00:14:02,885
Watch out.
200
00:14:03,344 --> 00:14:05,429
True, he's pleasing to the eye.
201
00:14:05,721 --> 00:14:07,765
He milks it for all it's worth.
202
00:14:12,311 --> 00:14:13,312
"Cazzo".
203
00:14:13,896 --> 00:14:15,189
Know that word?
204
00:14:16,690 --> 00:14:17,941
Really want to know?
205
00:14:20,861 --> 00:14:22,071
Cock.
206
00:14:23,697 --> 00:14:25,741
I said to watch out.
207
00:14:43,675 --> 00:14:45,177
Enough whispering!
208
00:14:45,344 --> 00:14:48,722
I'd say it aloud,
but your ears are too prudish.
209
00:14:49,598 --> 00:14:51,517
- Louison has a new lover.
- I know.
210
00:14:51,683 --> 00:14:52,935
Until the next one.
211
00:14:53,102 --> 00:14:56,688
His name is Gustav.
Grenadier in a Swiss regiment.
212
00:14:57,064 --> 00:14:58,524
They're taking up arms.
213
00:14:58,690 --> 00:15:01,068
I was told.
Gustav only speaks German.
214
00:15:01,235 --> 00:15:03,654
We go about it no questions asked!
215
00:15:04,696 --> 00:15:06,740
The priests... Time to confess!
216
00:15:06,907 --> 00:15:10,077
Have you pretty girls ever drunk ratafia?
217
00:15:10,619 --> 00:15:11,578
Glasses for all!
218
00:15:11,745 --> 00:15:15,082
We just had dinner
with Cardinal de Montmorency.
219
00:15:15,249 --> 00:15:16,542
80 desserts minimum,...
220
00:15:16,708 --> 00:15:20,003
...not counting the candied fruits,
competes,...
221
00:15:20,170 --> 00:15:21,797
...ice cream and nougatine.
222
00:15:21,964 --> 00:15:23,173
I love candied citron.
223
00:15:23,382 --> 00:15:25,217
I know your appetite...
224
00:15:25,759 --> 00:15:29,138
...for the angelic lolly.
How about a little cuddle?
225
00:15:30,931 --> 00:15:32,516
Just a kiss on the neck.
226
00:15:34,852 --> 00:15:36,687
Gaspard! Got your violin?
227
00:15:37,062 --> 00:15:38,564
Play a country dance.
228
00:15:38,772 --> 00:15:40,858
To King Louie's health!
229
00:16:17,811 --> 00:16:20,397
I know the names of the new government!
230
00:16:20,564 --> 00:16:22,191
Names!
I love names!
231
00:16:22,357 --> 00:16:25,194
Want to hear some?
Princess de Lamballe,...
232
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,404
...Superintendent of the Queen's Household.
233
00:16:27,571 --> 00:16:30,824
Countess d'Ossun,
Mistress to the Queen's Clothes.
234
00:16:30,991 --> 00:16:32,075
I saw her today.
235
00:16:32,493 --> 00:16:34,953
Count d'Hassonville, Wolfcatcher Royal.
236
00:16:35,412 --> 00:16:37,998
Princess de Chimay, lady-in-waiting.
237
00:16:38,582 --> 00:16:41,418
The ladies who accompany Madame.
238
00:16:43,045 --> 00:16:45,547
The ladies of Mesdames...
239
00:16:47,758 --> 00:16:50,469
Versailles, July 15th 1789
240
00:16:51,345 --> 00:16:52,387
Sidonie!
241
00:16:54,014 --> 00:16:55,474
Open up.
It's Louison.
242
00:16:57,809 --> 00:16:59,937
They woke the King up!
243
00:17:04,107 --> 00:17:05,817
They say it's diarrhea.
244
00:17:07,277 --> 00:17:08,070
Is he ill?
245
00:17:08,237 --> 00:17:12,282
My cousin, his first valet,
sleeps at the foot of his bed.
246
00:17:12,449 --> 00:17:13,700
What does he say?
247
00:17:13,867 --> 00:17:16,161
That the King ate bad cod-fish.
248
00:17:16,328 --> 00:17:18,872
Impossible.
I know his chamber boy.
249
00:17:19,039 --> 00:17:21,333
Before bed,
the King spoke of hunting.
250
00:17:21,667 --> 00:17:23,377
Have you heard the news?
251
00:17:23,544 --> 00:17:25,796
Someone woke the King at 2 o'clock.
252
00:17:26,380 --> 00:17:27,881
I brought you some water.
253
00:17:28,131 --> 00:17:30,842
- Madame de Bargue told you?
- No, Honorine.
254
00:17:31,009 --> 00:17:33,220
- Does the Queen know?
- Go ask her.
255
00:17:33,387 --> 00:17:35,180
I have to get back.
256
00:17:36,723 --> 00:17:37,975
Call that bread?
257
00:17:38,267 --> 00:17:40,435
Some people make it last a week.
258
00:18:02,749 --> 00:18:04,585
So? Do you know anything?
259
00:18:04,751 --> 00:18:06,878
I would, if I spoke English.
260
00:18:07,045 --> 00:18:08,839
An Englishman woke the King?
261
00:18:10,007 --> 00:18:14,094
When it's serious,
M. and Mme. de la Tour de Pin use English.
262
00:18:14,261 --> 00:18:17,222
I heard the word "Bastille"... four times.
263
00:18:17,389 --> 00:18:19,725
Something bad happened there.
264
00:18:21,143 --> 00:18:24,062
An escape, or a fire... I'll ask Gustav.
265
00:18:24,605 --> 00:18:27,774
Monsieur Moreau will know
and he speaks French!
266
00:18:30,319 --> 00:18:31,236
Tell us.
267
00:18:31,695 --> 00:18:33,238
If I'm allowed to.
268
00:18:49,963 --> 00:18:51,506
Mademoiselle Laborde!
269
00:18:53,675 --> 00:18:55,469
Madame Bertin needs you.
270
00:18:57,304 --> 00:18:59,848
I'll see to the Queen's return.
271
00:19:01,183 --> 00:19:02,559
It's a bit delicate.
272
00:19:04,102 --> 00:19:05,479
I'll explain.
273
00:19:06,229 --> 00:19:08,690
Marie-Louise, my embroiderer, is ill...
274
00:19:08,982 --> 00:19:12,527
...and the Queen asked
that we make a dahlia sampler.
275
00:19:13,904 --> 00:19:15,489
You know the Queen.
276
00:19:15,864 --> 00:19:19,076
When she wants something,
she gets so impatient,...
277
00:19:19,242 --> 00:19:20,535
...it makes me dizzy.
278
00:19:20,952 --> 00:19:24,414
Madame Campan thinks
I get bored when not reading?
279
00:19:24,706 --> 00:19:27,876
Madame Campan thinks
you're a good embroiderer.
280
00:19:28,043 --> 00:19:30,170
For her, it's the same thing.
281
00:19:30,337 --> 00:19:31,463
Not for me.
282
00:19:31,630 --> 00:19:35,217
I envy your loving books
the way you love them.
283
00:19:36,134 --> 00:19:39,971
In due time,
I'll tell the Queen you embroidered it.
284
00:19:40,138 --> 00:19:41,765
Out of the question.
285
00:19:43,016 --> 00:19:44,434
She doesn't know I sew.
286
00:19:44,601 --> 00:19:45,477
You'll do it?
287
00:19:45,644 --> 00:19:46,561
One condition.
288
00:19:47,938 --> 00:19:49,856
About Marie-Louise's pay?
289
00:19:50,023 --> 00:19:51,525
It's not about money.
290
00:19:52,943 --> 00:19:54,152
Last night's events.
291
00:19:55,070 --> 00:19:57,489
Madame Campan must know something.
292
00:20:03,995 --> 00:20:04,955
I swore.
293
00:20:05,247 --> 00:20:06,748
I won't repeat it.
294
00:20:13,171 --> 00:20:14,506
Sorry, but...
295
00:20:15,132 --> 00:20:16,383
...I didn't hear.
296
00:20:19,219 --> 00:20:21,304
The people stormed the Bastille.
297
00:20:22,597 --> 00:20:24,725
The Queen was told this morning.
298
00:20:24,891 --> 00:20:29,271
She asked de Breuil to march on Paris
with a foreign regiment.
299
00:20:29,688 --> 00:20:31,982
The Count d'Artois is backing her.
300
00:20:32,149 --> 00:20:33,692
The King's brother?
301
00:20:33,942 --> 00:20:36,069
The King is very angry with him.
302
00:20:36,653 --> 00:20:38,613
He is taking counsel now.
303
00:20:39,656 --> 00:20:41,366
It's very serious, Sidonie.
304
00:20:41,825 --> 00:20:43,910
And make sure you tell no one!
305
00:20:44,202 --> 00:20:45,287
Sweet Jesus.
306
00:20:45,454 --> 00:20:48,290
I'd lose the Queen's favor.
Come.
307
00:20:48,457 --> 00:20:51,710
I'll give you her finery book.
Mme d'Ossun won't know.
308
00:20:53,670 --> 00:20:56,298
How long do you need for the sampler?
309
00:20:57,132 --> 00:21:00,469
Just a small dahlia,
to give Her Majesty an idea.
310
00:21:21,239 --> 00:21:22,491
Am I bothering you?
311
00:21:23,241 --> 00:21:26,203
You never bother me, Mademoiselle Laborde.
312
00:21:27,496 --> 00:21:29,080
You've come for news?
313
00:21:29,289 --> 00:21:31,416
Alas, I've heard the brunt of it.
314
00:21:31,583 --> 00:21:36,505
Monsieur de Barentin, who just left,
gave me the details.
315
00:21:37,714 --> 00:21:39,591
Don't just stand there.
316
00:21:40,717 --> 00:21:42,385
Take my chair.
317
00:21:45,055 --> 00:21:46,598
Have a seat.
318
00:21:55,857 --> 00:21:57,067
Here's the story.
319
00:21:57,943 --> 00:21:59,528
Yesterday at dawn,...
320
00:22:00,195 --> 00:22:04,825
...a munitions convoy
heading to the Bastille...
321
00:22:05,033 --> 00:22:06,827
...was attacked by rioters,...
322
00:22:07,786 --> 00:22:11,498
...who, afterwards,
pillaged the lnvalides arsenal.
323
00:22:11,748 --> 00:22:13,583
Enough to arm the people,...
324
00:22:13,750 --> 00:22:16,378
...who then headed en masse...
325
00:22:16,545 --> 00:22:18,046
...to the Bastille.
326
00:22:18,213 --> 00:22:21,424
The French Guard put up a bitter fight,...
327
00:22:21,716 --> 00:22:22,968
...but in vain.
328
00:22:23,343 --> 00:22:28,056
The prison commander,
Monsieur de Launey, was beheaded.
329
00:22:28,348 --> 00:22:29,933
Many Swiss Guards...
330
00:22:30,100 --> 00:22:31,393
...hanged or killed.
331
00:22:32,102 --> 00:22:35,188
And who was being detained
in the royal jail?
332
00:22:35,355 --> 00:22:37,774
Four forgers, two lunatics...
333
00:22:37,941 --> 00:22:42,571
...and a deviant confined
at his family's request.
334
00:22:43,113 --> 00:22:44,364
I'm speechless.
335
00:22:44,573 --> 00:22:47,158
There's nothing left to say.
336
00:22:47,325 --> 00:22:48,785
The damage is done.
337
00:22:49,035 --> 00:22:52,581
Rebellions will burst out
all over the kingdom.
338
00:22:53,331 --> 00:22:56,042
No fun being a King's soldier nowadays!
339
00:22:56,209 --> 00:22:57,627
So it's true.
340
00:23:01,923 --> 00:23:03,800
Someone did wake up the King.
341
00:23:04,092 --> 00:23:07,762
The Duke de La Rochefoucauld
had the honor.
342
00:23:07,929 --> 00:23:09,639
And the misfortune.
343
00:23:14,477 --> 00:23:16,479
What will happen to us?
344
00:23:21,318 --> 00:23:22,611
You promise?
345
00:23:23,028 --> 00:23:25,822
Don't tell anyone
I have her finery book.
346
00:23:25,989 --> 00:23:27,324
Cross my heart.
347
00:23:31,494 --> 00:23:32,662
Look.
348
00:23:33,163 --> 00:23:34,748
The dahlia I'm making.
349
00:23:39,628 --> 00:23:40,879
This way, Madame...
350
00:24:09,991 --> 00:24:12,535
- What are they saying?
- It's in English.
351
00:24:13,536 --> 00:24:14,913
I heard "Polignac" twice.
352
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:16,206
Gabrielle?
353
00:24:16,581 --> 00:24:18,124
You call her Gabrielle?
354
00:24:18,291 --> 00:24:19,417
Why?
355
00:24:19,876 --> 00:24:21,127
We call her "Duchess"?
356
00:24:21,294 --> 00:24:22,796
Duchess, my ass!
357
00:24:22,963 --> 00:24:24,589
She played her cards right.
358
00:24:25,423 --> 00:24:26,424
What cards?
359
00:24:27,175 --> 00:24:28,635
Don't you start too.
360
00:24:28,802 --> 00:24:31,972
From country bumpkin
to the Queen's favorite?
361
00:24:32,138 --> 00:24:33,848
What do you call it?
362
00:24:35,141 --> 00:24:36,935
I say she's a whore.
363
00:24:39,104 --> 00:24:41,189
You sound like your mistress.
364
00:24:41,356 --> 00:24:42,857
Everyone says so.
365
00:24:44,025 --> 00:24:45,694
She brings the Queen joy.
366
00:24:47,237 --> 00:24:48,989
Quiet or I'll leave.
367
00:24:49,155 --> 00:24:51,491
You know what she does with Paolo.
368
00:24:51,908 --> 00:24:53,576
Shut up now!
369
00:25:03,586 --> 00:25:05,005
The King!
370
00:25:06,214 --> 00:25:07,799
What on earth?
371
00:25:08,591 --> 00:25:09,884
Come look!
372
00:25:12,178 --> 00:25:13,054
It's the King!
373
00:25:14,389 --> 00:25:15,974
He's leaving the chateau.
374
00:25:16,641 --> 00:25:17,642
On foot.
375
00:25:17,809 --> 00:25:19,019
He's running away?
376
00:25:20,395 --> 00:25:22,397
His brothers are following him.
377
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,025
They don't look thrilled.
378
00:25:27,193 --> 00:25:28,486
Where are they going?
379
00:25:28,862 --> 00:25:31,114
He doesn't have his feathered hat.
380
00:25:31,698 --> 00:25:34,534
Look at his brother... He almost slipped!
381
00:25:34,826 --> 00:25:37,120
He'd bounce with that fat ass!
382
00:25:40,999 --> 00:25:42,208
I'm going closer.
383
00:25:44,878 --> 00:25:46,921
- Coming?
- What if Madame rings?
384
00:25:47,088 --> 00:25:48,840
Say the Bastille was stormed!
385
00:25:53,553 --> 00:25:54,971
This is torture.
386
00:25:58,475 --> 00:25:59,809
No, my brother.
387
00:26:00,143 --> 00:26:01,561
It's a necessity.
388
00:26:02,562 --> 00:26:04,272
You do everything backwards.
389
00:26:04,439 --> 00:26:05,982
If my master saw me!
390
00:26:43,311 --> 00:26:46,147
- Monsieur de la Tour de Pin is a deputy.
- And?
391
00:26:46,564 --> 00:26:49,275
I bet he'll negotiate with Bailly.
392
00:26:49,442 --> 00:26:52,195
- Negotiate what?
- Enough of your questions!
393
00:26:54,739 --> 00:26:56,074
Let me through.
394
00:27:00,578 --> 00:27:01,538
Louison!
395
00:27:02,705 --> 00:27:04,582
Come meet my Gustav.
396
00:27:04,749 --> 00:27:07,168
Sidonie Laborde, the Queen's reader.
397
00:27:07,335 --> 00:27:09,838
- Assistant.
- Too complex for him.
398
00:27:11,381 --> 00:27:12,966
What a mustache!
399
00:27:13,633 --> 00:27:15,009
Can he get us in?
400
00:27:15,176 --> 00:27:16,845
Now you act all nice!
401
00:27:17,387 --> 00:27:18,888
What's in it for me?
402
00:27:21,141 --> 00:27:23,434
I'll lend you the clock for a night.
403
00:27:23,601 --> 00:27:24,894
You'd do that?
404
00:27:25,103 --> 00:27:26,146
Go on.
405
00:27:31,317 --> 00:27:33,069
It is what my heart desires.
406
00:27:33,903 --> 00:27:35,738
My most fervent wish.
407
00:27:36,197 --> 00:27:39,450
The reward I expect
for my good intentions...
408
00:27:40,201 --> 00:27:42,245
...and my love for my people.
409
00:27:52,380 --> 00:27:53,965
Not coming to dinner?
410
00:27:54,507 --> 00:27:55,341
Already?
411
00:27:56,009 --> 00:27:57,385
What time is it?
412
00:27:58,761 --> 00:28:00,180
Where's the clock?
413
00:28:00,430 --> 00:28:01,681
I lent it to Louison.
414
00:28:08,521 --> 00:28:09,647
That's pretty.
415
00:28:10,315 --> 00:28:11,274
Who's it for?
416
00:28:11,441 --> 00:28:12,942
A very dear friend.
417
00:28:13,109 --> 00:28:14,319
Do I know her?
418
00:28:22,911 --> 00:28:25,580
Madame is constipated.
She won't eat.
419
00:28:27,790 --> 00:28:29,709
How about {\i1}bouchées a' la reine{\i0}?
420
00:28:30,126 --> 00:28:31,586
I'm not hungry.
421
00:28:33,171 --> 00:28:34,672
What will you do?
422
00:28:35,465 --> 00:28:36,716
Wait.
423
00:28:38,384 --> 00:28:39,886
Wait for what?
424
00:28:40,970 --> 00:28:43,097
For the Queen to send for me.
425
00:28:44,140 --> 00:28:46,017
On an empty stomach?
426
00:28:48,937 --> 00:28:50,396
I'm afraid, Alice.
427
00:28:51,773 --> 00:28:53,316
I'm afraid for her.
428
00:29:00,573 --> 00:29:01,908
Bouchées é la reine!
429
00:29:02,075 --> 00:29:03,868
How you spoil me!
430
00:29:04,035 --> 00:29:06,788
I was just going to have some lentils.
431
00:29:06,955 --> 00:29:07,830
Careful.
432
00:29:08,581 --> 00:29:10,375
Excuse me, but it's dark.
433
00:29:10,541 --> 00:29:11,459
Indeed...
434
00:29:11,626 --> 00:29:13,211
...darker and darker.
435
00:29:14,254 --> 00:29:18,508
I even feel that night has fallen
faster than usual.
436
00:29:19,175 --> 00:29:20,426
My God.
437
00:29:20,843 --> 00:29:23,638
It's been ages since I ate this.
438
00:29:23,888 --> 00:29:25,515
You work too much.
439
00:29:25,807 --> 00:29:27,517
Your eyes and health will suffer.
440
00:29:27,850 --> 00:29:30,311
The recent events make me suffer.
441
00:29:30,770 --> 00:29:32,647
It's all happening too fast.
442
00:29:32,897 --> 00:29:34,274
The King was cheered.
443
00:29:34,691 --> 00:29:39,070
The King was cheered because he spoke
standing, without a hat.
444
00:29:39,237 --> 00:29:40,905
They didn't cheer a king,...
445
00:29:41,322 --> 00:29:43,449
...but a citizen like any other.
446
00:29:45,952 --> 00:29:47,245
It's delicious.
447
00:29:47,537 --> 00:29:49,956
You know what hurts me most, Mr. Moreau?
448
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,959
The malice concerning the Queen.
449
00:29:53,626 --> 00:29:56,838
I know your fervor for Marie-Antoinette.
450
00:29:57,922 --> 00:29:59,215
Not at all.
451
00:30:00,341 --> 00:30:02,093
I'm just her servant.
452
00:30:02,552 --> 00:30:03,845
What am I saying?
453
00:30:04,345 --> 00:30:08,391
The servant of the books
of Her Majesty's library.
454
00:30:09,559 --> 00:30:10,935
No fervor in that.
455
00:30:13,146 --> 00:30:14,605
So young...
456
00:30:15,273 --> 00:30:16,899
...and already blind.
457
00:30:18,234 --> 00:30:20,820
Your love for the Queen...
458
00:30:21,654 --> 00:30:24,949
...makes you too indulgent
as to her caprices.
459
00:30:25,325 --> 00:30:28,328
Gabrielle de Polignac is a folly...
460
00:30:28,703 --> 00:30:30,747
...which cost her dearly.
461
00:30:32,123 --> 00:30:34,417
She's yet to finish paying for it.
462
00:30:38,629 --> 00:30:41,716
I don't want you
meeting the wrong people.
463
00:30:57,190 --> 00:30:58,441
Moreau!
464
00:30:59,650 --> 00:31:00,902
Tell me.
465
00:31:01,819 --> 00:31:03,404
Where are our maids?
466
00:31:03,571 --> 00:31:07,742
I've been ringing for an hour
and no one answers.
467
00:31:08,034 --> 00:31:10,370
No one comes.
It's unbearable!
468
00:31:10,536 --> 00:31:15,124
Marquis, I imagine
they're as lost as their masters.
469
00:31:16,667 --> 00:31:20,546
The Marquis has been living
in a rat hole for 1O years.
470
00:31:20,713 --> 00:31:23,508
And I hear his chateau is breathtaking.
471
00:31:23,674 --> 00:31:28,304
Just to see the King
in the Hall of Mirrors twice a week.
472
00:31:28,471 --> 00:31:30,390
And that's if he's lucky.
473
00:31:30,556 --> 00:31:32,642
Moreau... just in time.
474
00:31:32,809 --> 00:31:36,062
What of the rioters
planning to attack Versailles?
475
00:31:36,229 --> 00:31:38,147
How long until they get here?
476
00:31:38,314 --> 00:31:40,483
Twelve hours? Fifteen?
477
00:31:40,691 --> 00:31:42,318
Has the King made arrangements?
478
00:31:42,485 --> 00:31:45,321
Make your own in the meantime,
M. de Jolivet.
479
00:31:45,488 --> 00:31:49,033
The people are a fabric
that is highly combustible.
480
00:31:49,700 --> 00:31:52,328
I have to organize our defense.
481
00:32:00,253 --> 00:32:02,463
Finally I'm going to stay here.
482
00:32:02,630 --> 00:32:05,341
Here? What an absurd idea.
483
00:32:05,675 --> 00:32:07,718
In my room I'll never sleep.
484
00:32:07,885 --> 00:32:10,012
In that case, I'll be going.
485
00:32:10,179 --> 00:32:13,474
Thank you for that impromptu dinner.
486
00:32:13,641 --> 00:32:14,976
It was marvelous.
487
00:32:16,436 --> 00:32:18,646
But the one thing I did regret,...
488
00:32:18,813 --> 00:32:20,523
...a bottle of wine.
489
00:32:21,941 --> 00:32:23,568
I totally forgot.
490
00:32:24,485 --> 00:32:25,778
Shall I go ask?
491
00:32:25,945 --> 00:32:28,197
Don't go out of your way.
492
00:32:28,364 --> 00:32:31,868
I'll go myself.
I need to stretch my legs.
493
00:32:33,077 --> 00:32:34,495
In the end...
494
00:32:35,288 --> 00:32:37,915
...people think I'm wise, but I'm...
495
00:32:38,249 --> 00:32:40,168
...no different from others.
496
00:33:52,031 --> 00:33:53,282
It's just a pamphlet...
497
00:33:53,449 --> 00:33:56,953
...but you can see what's going on
under our very noses.
498
00:33:57,119 --> 00:33:58,996
Mademoiselle Laborde...
499
00:33:59,413 --> 00:34:01,249
...if ever you see the Queen,...
500
00:34:01,666 --> 00:34:03,334
...inform her of this scandal.
501
00:34:10,174 --> 00:34:11,384
Can you read it?
502
00:34:13,553 --> 00:34:14,971
It's the list,...
503
00:34:16,264 --> 00:34:18,266
...of the 286 heads...
504
00:34:20,017 --> 00:34:21,519
...that must be cutoff...
505
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,772
...to bring about necessary reform.
506
00:34:27,733 --> 00:34:29,277
The first two names...
507
00:34:29,944 --> 00:34:31,612
...are those of the Queen,
508
00:34:32,196 --> 00:34:33,864
...and the Count d'Artois.
509
00:34:35,992 --> 00:34:37,034
Then...
510
00:34:38,286 --> 00:34:39,579
Then?
511
00:34:40,663 --> 00:34:42,707
The Duchess de Polignac.
512
00:34:44,875 --> 00:34:46,419
And the Princess...
513
00:34:47,086 --> 00:34:48,546
...de Lamballe.
514
00:34:59,015 --> 00:35:00,391
I am...
515
00:35:01,392 --> 00:35:03,394
...the twenty-first head...
516
00:35:04,478 --> 00:35:05,938
...they want to cutoff.
517
00:35:34,967 --> 00:35:36,218
Monsieur Moreau!
518
00:35:36,594 --> 00:35:37,887
Sidonie.
519
00:35:38,596 --> 00:35:40,556
The world's not over yet but...
520
00:35:40,806 --> 00:35:42,558
You've drunk too much.
521
00:35:42,725 --> 00:35:44,060
The Queen is in danger.
522
00:35:44,352 --> 00:35:46,479
When the worm is in the apple...
523
00:35:46,771 --> 00:35:47,596
Move!
524
00:35:47,688 --> 00:35:50,816
They're looking everywhere for you.
525
00:35:50,983 --> 00:35:52,068
Who is'?
526
00:35:52,234 --> 00:35:53,402
The wolf.
527
00:35:53,569 --> 00:35:54,779
Who wants me?
528
00:36:01,952 --> 00:36:03,287
I'll leave you two.
529
00:36:03,621 --> 00:36:06,165
I'll go to the service quarters.
530
00:36:06,332 --> 00:36:09,001
Cooking wine is sour but...
531
00:36:09,418 --> 00:36:11,087
...it will do.
532
00:36:11,253 --> 00:36:12,171
What do you want?
533
00:36:13,923 --> 00:36:14,965
You know.
534
00:36:17,093 --> 00:36:18,886
You want the same thing.
535
00:36:21,305 --> 00:36:22,098
Come with me.
536
00:36:30,898 --> 00:36:33,818
He saw his name on the list and fainted.
537
00:36:46,539 --> 00:36:47,790
Hurry.
538
00:36:48,332 --> 00:36:50,418
It would be easier in my shack.
539
00:36:55,131 --> 00:36:56,799
Let me do it.
540
00:36:58,676 --> 00:37:00,970
You prefer Gabrielle de Polignac?
541
00:37:03,681 --> 00:37:06,308
I've been thinking about you
since yesterday.
542
00:37:15,317 --> 00:37:16,652
Sidonie Laborde.
543
00:37:20,656 --> 00:37:21,991
Stay here.
544
00:37:22,825 --> 00:37:25,494
Show yourself
and I won't see you again.
545
00:37:28,289 --> 00:37:29,498
Alice!
546
00:37:29,707 --> 00:37:32,501
The Queen's page boy is looking for you!
547
00:37:32,668 --> 00:37:34,962
Good God! I kept the Queen waiting!
548
00:38:51,747 --> 00:38:54,333
You weren't in your room, mademoiselle.
549
00:38:54,500 --> 00:38:56,961
Gross misconduct with all this unrest.
550
00:38:57,419 --> 00:38:59,380
We'll discuss it later.
551
00:39:00,089 --> 00:39:02,967
The Queen is sorting through her papers.
552
00:39:03,133 --> 00:39:04,969
No need to read to her.
553
00:39:05,135 --> 00:39:08,597
Write down the names of some books,...
554
00:39:08,806 --> 00:39:10,057
...a dozen at most,...
555
00:39:10,224 --> 00:39:13,185
...she should take with her to the country.
556
00:39:13,644 --> 00:39:15,688
The Queen is going away?
557
00:39:16,355 --> 00:39:18,107
No questions, please.
558
00:39:22,194 --> 00:39:25,573
I'd be more comfortable doing so
in the library.
559
00:39:26,699 --> 00:39:28,993
No one cares about your comfort.
560
00:39:30,369 --> 00:39:34,164
The library and the annex
will be full of baggage.
561
00:39:34,832 --> 00:39:36,709
Go into her bath quarters.
562
00:39:36,917 --> 00:39:39,086
I'm busy with Mme de Rochereuil.
563
00:40:17,374 --> 00:40:19,376
The Queen doesn't need this.
564
00:40:20,210 --> 00:40:21,503
I'll get a good price.
565
00:40:21,670 --> 00:40:22,922
Not so loud.
566
00:40:23,088 --> 00:40:27,468
Enough of being scorned.
We're human beings just like her.
567
00:40:27,635 --> 00:40:31,472
Even in a position of weakness,
she acts so superior.
568
00:40:31,972 --> 00:40:33,682
Don't you agree, Henriette?
569
00:40:35,225 --> 00:40:37,561
Rereading her lovers' letters,...
570
00:40:37,728 --> 00:40:40,064
...we'll be here until morning.
571
00:40:40,230 --> 00:40:41,690
She burnt a lot of them.
572
00:40:41,899 --> 00:40:43,943
The list of her expenses too,...
573
00:40:44,109 --> 00:40:46,904
...especially money spent on the Polignacs.
574
00:40:48,781 --> 00:40:51,033
This white silk camisole.
575
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,494
Not her style, don't you agree?
576
00:40:53,702 --> 00:40:55,287
We'll split it 50-50.
577
00:40:56,121 --> 00:40:57,915
I'll have no pan of that.
578
00:40:58,290 --> 00:41:00,626
You're wrong not to pick up crumbs.
579
00:41:01,085 --> 00:41:03,796
Believe me,
you'll regret it soon enough.
580
00:41:04,713 --> 00:41:06,131
Ask your brother.
581
00:41:06,298 --> 00:41:09,176
He's telling everyone
how kings disgust him.
582
00:41:09,343 --> 00:41:10,594
Keep quiet.
583
00:41:13,555 --> 00:41:14,765
Keep quiet.
584
00:41:23,023 --> 00:41:24,316
You think so?
585
00:41:25,526 --> 00:41:26,819
It's my job.
586
00:41:27,111 --> 00:41:28,988
I know her taste better than you.
587
00:41:29,154 --> 00:41:30,906
We'll find out right away.
588
00:41:47,965 --> 00:41:49,800
Why are you staring at me?
589
00:41:50,134 --> 00:41:51,260
Close the door.
590
00:42:07,317 --> 00:42:08,819
The Queen wants you.
591
00:42:26,003 --> 00:42:28,964
Mademoiselle Laborde is at your disposal.
592
00:42:29,256 --> 00:42:30,674
Leave us alone.
593
00:42:37,222 --> 00:42:39,349
You were here and I didn't know.
594
00:42:41,351 --> 00:42:43,353
They hide everything from me.
595
00:42:44,021 --> 00:42:45,731
It's unbearable.
596
00:42:48,776 --> 00:42:49,985
Come closer.
597
00:43:02,748 --> 00:43:04,625
I need your help.
598
00:43:06,293 --> 00:43:09,379
Helping you
is my greatest desire, Majesty.
599
00:43:12,633 --> 00:43:15,052
I know how much I can count on you.
600
00:43:15,469 --> 00:43:17,721
Your discretion does you credit.
601
00:43:20,015 --> 00:43:23,477
What I'm asking shouldn't take you long.
602
00:43:24,978 --> 00:43:29,149
In the library
you'll find books about geography...
603
00:43:29,316 --> 00:43:31,193
...with detailed maps.
604
00:43:31,693 --> 00:43:34,446
Map out the best route...
605
00:43:34,613 --> 00:43:36,907
...from Versailles to Metz.
606
00:43:37,825 --> 00:43:39,618
Abbe' Cornu de Balivére!
607
00:43:39,785 --> 00:43:40,744
Madame!
608
00:43:40,994 --> 00:43:43,288
This is being passed around the chateau.
609
00:43:51,255 --> 00:43:54,591
This is why
I'm preparing to leave for Metz.
610
00:43:55,384 --> 00:43:58,512
Count Esterhazy will join us
with his regiment.
611
00:43:59,138 --> 00:44:02,224
In Metz we'll gather troops
and march on Paris.
612
00:44:03,851 --> 00:44:07,771
Pure treachery
how this city gives orders to the King!
613
00:44:08,230 --> 00:44:09,565
And to France!
614
00:44:10,107 --> 00:44:11,608
Paris is not France.
615
00:44:11,775 --> 00:44:13,193
What does the King think?
616
00:44:13,652 --> 00:44:15,404
He thinks the same as me.
617
00:44:16,989 --> 00:44:19,366
Metz has a powerful citadel.
618
00:44:19,783 --> 00:44:21,702
It's a wise choice.
619
00:44:22,578 --> 00:44:25,789
As for that pamphlet,
pay it no attention.
620
00:44:26,331 --> 00:44:29,001
It is as foul-smelling as manure,...
621
00:44:29,168 --> 00:44:31,128
...as is everything from Paris.
622
00:44:32,087 --> 00:44:34,882
The King is asking his brothers
for advice.
623
00:44:35,048 --> 00:44:37,509
Tonight. Tomorrow at the latest.
624
00:44:37,718 --> 00:44:39,845
Let the King do as he pleases.
625
00:44:40,387 --> 00:44:41,805
For now, at least.
626
00:44:41,972 --> 00:44:45,976
The Duke de Bourbon fled on horseback
disguised as a groom.
627
00:44:46,185 --> 00:44:49,479
I will go disguised
as the Queen of France!
628
00:44:51,607 --> 00:44:52,941
Leave me now.
629
00:44:58,155 --> 00:44:59,239
Good night, Madame.
630
00:45:12,961 --> 00:45:14,713
God, how I'm tired.
631
00:45:15,964 --> 00:45:18,133
I'm totally lacking in energy.
632
00:45:31,688 --> 00:45:34,816
The idea of travelling
gives me a backache.
633
00:45:36,151 --> 00:45:37,486
Are you still here?
634
00:45:37,694 --> 00:45:39,529
Yes I am, Your Majesty.
635
00:45:41,990 --> 00:45:44,326
Close the door and come closer.
636
00:46:08,517 --> 00:46:10,978
Come here, so I can see you.
637
00:46:11,144 --> 00:46:12,604
Take that seat.
638
00:46:25,575 --> 00:46:28,412
You know what I find charming about you?
639
00:46:29,621 --> 00:46:32,332
Not so much the prettiness
of your features...
640
00:46:32,833 --> 00:46:35,669
...as the youth you radiate at all times.
641
00:46:35,877 --> 00:46:38,255
But Your Majesty, you're so young.
642
00:46:41,216 --> 00:46:42,384
I was.
643
00:46:54,980 --> 00:46:56,315
I have a question.
644
00:46:57,691 --> 00:47:00,444
I'll answer all Your Majesty's questions,...
645
00:47:00,610 --> 00:47:02,446
...insofar as I am able.
646
00:47:04,865 --> 00:47:08,618
Have you ever been attracted by a woman,...
647
00:47:12,998 --> 00:47:16,084
...to the point that
you suffer in her absence?
648
00:47:18,670 --> 00:47:21,048
I can spend hours imagining her...
649
00:47:21,923 --> 00:47:24,634
...with my eyes closed: her oval face...
650
00:47:27,304 --> 00:47:29,598
...the softness of her skin...
651
00:47:30,724 --> 00:47:32,934
...the merry sparkle of her eyes.
652
00:47:35,979 --> 00:47:38,315
I know to whom you are referring.
653
00:47:39,107 --> 00:47:42,027
I envy her being the object of such love.
654
00:47:42,235 --> 00:47:43,403
To the extent...
655
00:47:44,154 --> 00:47:47,282
...that in such times,
I think only of her absence.
656
00:47:47,574 --> 00:47:48,909
All you need to...
657
00:47:49,076 --> 00:47:50,243
Alas, no.
658
00:47:50,911 --> 00:47:53,705
Gabrielle de Polignac is not the type...
659
00:47:53,872 --> 00:47:56,666
...to be handled like a pastry.
660
00:47:59,252 --> 00:48:02,172
It's what thrilled me
when I first saw her.
661
00:48:04,633 --> 00:48:05,884
She seemed so at home.
662
00:48:08,553 --> 00:48:12,099
She came and went
as if she'd always lived there.
663
00:48:12,349 --> 00:48:15,852
She was never consumed
with the need to please me.
664
00:48:17,020 --> 00:48:19,064
That freedom of hers pleases me.
665
00:48:21,608 --> 00:48:26,696
You must wonder why she is not by my side
when I desire her so much.
666
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:28,824
Me, Queen of France.
667
00:48:31,910 --> 00:48:33,578
The answer terrifies me.
668
00:48:35,580 --> 00:48:37,916
I am forced to acknowledge that
669
00:48:38,542 --> 00:48:39,918
I am her prisoner.
670
00:48:40,961 --> 00:48:44,923
Two hours ago
I asked Madame Campan to fetch her.
671
00:48:45,590 --> 00:48:49,052
Gabrielle let it be known
that she was upset.
672
00:48:53,515 --> 00:48:56,226
What does she have to be upset about?
673
00:48:57,686 --> 00:48:59,813
What did I do to be unpleasant?
674
00:49:01,022 --> 00:49:04,317
May I try to attain
what Madame Campan couldn't?
675
00:49:05,610 --> 00:49:08,738
I'm better placed
to find the words necessary.
676
00:49:09,906 --> 00:49:11,825
I know these words, Majesty.
677
00:49:11,992 --> 00:49:13,910
From the books I read to you.
678
00:49:14,244 --> 00:49:16,329
Do try... and we shall see.
679
00:49:58,914 --> 00:50:00,749
Let me see the Duchess.
680
00:50:00,916 --> 00:50:02,542
On behalf of the Queen.
681
00:50:02,709 --> 00:50:04,669
The Duchess is fast asleep.
682
00:50:04,836 --> 00:50:06,129
Then I'll wake her.
683
00:50:06,338 --> 00:50:08,673
Madame Campan already tried in vain.
684
00:50:09,132 --> 00:50:10,300
Let me through.
685
00:50:11,009 --> 00:50:14,304
The Duchess took two opium seeds
to fall asleep.
686
00:50:15,430 --> 00:50:17,724
You want to know what I think?
687
00:50:17,891 --> 00:50:20,352
I think the Queen is an evil woman.
688
00:50:20,519 --> 00:50:22,938
She made my mistress lose her head.
689
00:50:23,104 --> 00:50:25,106
It's the opposite, Madame Tournon.
690
00:50:25,565 --> 00:50:26,900
I don't need you.
691
00:51:14,281 --> 00:51:17,117
The Queen asked you
to fetch her Gabrielle?
692
00:51:17,284 --> 00:51:18,076
Not your concern.
693
00:51:18,326 --> 00:51:20,537
Go dismantle the Queen's jewels.
694
00:51:20,829 --> 00:51:21,913
Her jewels?
695
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:24,207
It's her latest whim.
696
00:51:24,374 --> 00:51:27,002
Remove the settings and keep the gems.
697
00:51:27,168 --> 00:51:29,838
She says it's easier to pack.
698
00:51:39,431 --> 00:51:42,225
So, Mademoiselle?
Did you do what I asked?
699
00:51:42,392 --> 00:51:43,893
She's sound asleep.
700
00:51:44,185 --> 00:51:45,854
Like a baby.
701
00:51:46,980 --> 00:51:48,607
What are you talking about?
702
00:51:48,773 --> 00:51:51,943
I asked if you worked out the route
to Metz.
703
00:51:56,615 --> 00:51:58,867
Get my hairdresser Leonard.
704
00:51:59,743 --> 00:52:02,203
Geography is not in your domain.
705
00:52:03,622 --> 00:52:05,248
Léonard has travelled.
706
00:52:06,583 --> 00:52:07,542
Augustine!
707
00:52:10,086 --> 00:52:11,504
Go fetch Monsieur Léonard.
708
00:52:14,549 --> 00:52:18,178
Come help remove these jewels
from their settings.
709
00:52:18,345 --> 00:52:21,014
Don't forget my son's sailor suit.
710
00:52:21,514 --> 00:52:23,266
And my daughter's straw hat.
711
00:52:23,433 --> 00:52:25,101
The sun gives her headaches.
712
00:52:25,268 --> 00:52:26,853
I think a pearl fell.
713
00:52:28,229 --> 00:52:29,397
I'll look.
714
00:52:32,692 --> 00:52:37,405
I'll also need teapots, coffeepots
and {\i1}chocolatiéres{\i0}.
715
00:52:39,074 --> 00:52:41,284
And my needles and yarn...
716
00:52:42,077 --> 00:52:43,244
...and a spinning wheel.
717
00:52:44,037 --> 00:52:46,373
Madame Campan, write all this down.
718
00:52:47,123 --> 00:52:49,501
What do I know of evenings in Metz?
719
00:52:49,876 --> 00:52:51,252
I'll be bored stiff.
720
00:52:52,796 --> 00:52:55,715
Augustine, help me take these off!
721
00:52:56,383 --> 00:52:58,551
She went to get Monsieur Léonard.
722
00:52:58,718 --> 00:53:00,970
Mademoiselle Laborde is coming.
723
00:53:01,137 --> 00:53:02,597
She's just behind you.
724
00:53:02,764 --> 00:53:03,890
I can't find it.
725
00:53:04,557 --> 00:53:06,017
Come here!
726
00:53:06,309 --> 00:53:08,186
One pearl won't save us!
727
00:53:09,270 --> 00:53:11,856
Be so kind as to remove these.
728
00:53:22,325 --> 00:53:24,077
Why are you whimpering?
729
00:53:24,452 --> 00:53:27,122
Don't be afraid.
I'm not abandoning you.
730
00:53:28,707 --> 00:53:30,125
I'll be back soon.
731
00:53:37,382 --> 00:53:39,259
Is that you squealing?
732
00:53:39,426 --> 00:53:41,553
I fell asleep.
I couldn't breathe.
733
00:53:42,095 --> 00:53:44,389
We're sleeping in a real bed.
734
00:53:44,556 --> 00:53:46,349
After his night watch,...
735
00:53:46,516 --> 00:53:48,393
...I can't let his mustache droop.
736
00:53:49,144 --> 00:53:50,311
Come on, Gustav.
737
00:54:10,915 --> 00:54:13,710
Versailles, July 16th 1789
738
00:54:18,423 --> 00:54:20,717
He was expecting me to shout:
739
00:54:20,884 --> 00:54:23,887
"His Excellency, the Duke de Niverney!"
740
00:54:24,053 --> 00:54:26,097
- And nothing.
- How so?
741
00:54:26,264 --> 00:54:28,349
I didn't say or do a thing.
742
00:54:31,227 --> 00:54:32,562
Did you chase him away?
743
00:54:32,812 --> 00:54:34,022
He had a knife!
744
00:54:34,314 --> 00:54:35,857
And Monsieur de Bargue?
745
00:54:36,483 --> 00:54:38,526
Still in Madame de Montignac's bed!
746
00:54:39,152 --> 00:54:40,403
Poor Madame de Bargue.
747
00:54:40,570 --> 00:54:41,988
I really pity her.
748
00:54:42,155 --> 00:54:45,074
She was right.
Beggars do bring the plague.
749
00:54:45,241 --> 00:54:46,576
The Guard deserted.
750
00:54:47,035 --> 00:54:49,621
Really? The French Guard deserted?
751
00:54:49,788 --> 00:54:51,915
Even the Swiss Guard flew the coop.
752
00:54:55,210 --> 00:54:58,087
- The Queen was right to go.
- What did you say?
753
00:55:04,135 --> 00:55:06,596
She fled to Metz. But it's a secret.
754
00:55:06,763 --> 00:55:08,348
That's nonsense.
755
00:55:08,765 --> 00:55:11,643
Madame de la Tour de Pin just saw her.
756
00:55:11,810 --> 00:55:13,603
She's with the Conseil d'Etat.
757
00:55:13,770 --> 00:55:15,939
The King sent for her early.
758
00:55:16,356 --> 00:55:17,857
I saw her packing.
759
00:55:18,024 --> 00:55:19,984
You must have been dreaming.
760
00:55:22,529 --> 00:55:23,905
No more soup!
761
00:55:33,540 --> 00:55:34,666
I'm ashamed.
762
00:55:35,083 --> 00:55:37,001
I never drink wine.
763
00:55:37,293 --> 00:55:41,965
The Marquis de la Chesnaye found me
near the King's chambers.
764
00:55:42,131 --> 00:55:44,259
Can you imagine the disaster?
765
00:55:44,843 --> 00:55:46,678
If the King had seen me...
766
00:55:47,303 --> 00:55:48,930
My God, I'm so ashamed.
767
00:55:49,138 --> 00:55:51,766
Mr. Moreau,
have you news of the Queen?
768
00:55:51,933 --> 00:55:52,976
The Queen...
769
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:55,478
Is she conferring with the King?
770
00:55:55,645 --> 00:55:56,688
The King...
771
00:55:56,980 --> 00:55:58,106
What do you know?
772
00:55:58,273 --> 00:56:02,443
At this very moment
they're in the Cabinet.
773
00:56:02,944 --> 00:56:04,571
I saw Monsieur de Barentin.
774
00:56:06,364 --> 00:56:08,491
But who are all these peons?
775
00:56:09,742 --> 00:56:11,035
Indeed...
776
00:56:11,953 --> 00:56:14,330
...everything is out of kilter.
777
00:56:16,541 --> 00:56:17,500
Butcher!
778
00:56:19,919 --> 00:56:21,045
You'll pay!
779
00:56:24,132 --> 00:56:26,342
It had to be expected.
780
00:56:26,509 --> 00:56:27,594
What did he do?
781
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:32,348
Nothing, but his brother beheaded
the commander of the Bastille.
782
00:56:32,515 --> 00:56:34,017
With a pocket knife.
783
00:56:34,183 --> 00:56:35,894
But he's a decent boy.
784
00:56:48,740 --> 00:56:49,782
Louison?
785
00:56:50,116 --> 00:56:51,701
It's me, Sidonie.
786
00:56:51,910 --> 00:56:53,369
Are you still asleep?
787
00:57:03,963 --> 00:57:04,756
The clock!
788
00:57:09,969 --> 00:57:10,803
Shit!
789
00:57:17,810 --> 00:57:20,521
Marquis, have you seen Monsieur Moreau?
790
00:57:20,730 --> 00:57:21,856
Good old Moreau!
791
00:57:22,106 --> 00:57:24,359
In the 25 years I've lived here,...
792
00:57:24,525 --> 00:57:26,653
...I've never seen him like that.
793
00:57:34,035 --> 00:57:35,954
I knew I'd see you here.
794
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:37,789
Do you have the embroidery?
795
00:57:37,956 --> 00:57:39,832
- I'm almost done.
- Perfect.
796
00:57:40,041 --> 00:57:42,210
Remember to return the finery book.
797
00:57:42,377 --> 00:57:45,088
Madame d'Ossun mustn't get in trouble.
798
00:57:45,546 --> 00:57:48,091
If the Queen wants to leaf through it.
799
00:57:48,257 --> 00:57:50,385
You know her... and her whims.
800
00:57:50,551 --> 00:57:53,221
She has more important things
on her mind.
801
00:57:53,763 --> 00:57:55,056
The King!
802
00:58:24,002 --> 00:58:25,420
We must flee, I say.
803
00:58:25,586 --> 00:58:28,756
What must I do
to convince you, my brother?
804
00:58:28,923 --> 00:58:30,174
Stand up.
805
00:58:31,009 --> 00:58:32,343
We're being observed.
806
00:58:39,017 --> 00:58:40,435
Excuse me, Marquis.
807
00:58:40,935 --> 00:58:42,687
There's no use running anyway.
808
00:58:43,730 --> 00:58:47,358
According to them,
the King is staying in Versailles.
809
00:58:49,068 --> 00:58:50,695
Here's the government.
810
00:58:52,030 --> 00:58:56,325
Duke de la Vauguyon,
Minister of Foreign Affairs
811
00:58:56,826 --> 00:58:59,620
Monsieur de la Porte,
Minister of the Marine.
812
00:58:59,912 --> 00:59:03,124
Monsieur de Barentin,
Keeper of the Seals.
813
00:59:10,423 --> 00:59:13,509
There is not much
to add to your archives.
814
00:59:13,676 --> 00:59:18,306
The King will now check
the thermometer in the Throne Room.
815
01:00:19,033 --> 01:00:20,701
It's a total disaster.
816
01:00:21,577 --> 01:00:25,540
After much hesitation,
the King has decided to stay.
817
01:00:25,706 --> 01:00:28,000
Breteuil's government is dismissed.
818
01:00:28,167 --> 01:00:30,169
Will Necker be back?
819
01:00:30,461 --> 01:00:31,629
I do not know.
820
01:00:32,964 --> 01:00:36,384
It is not entirely certain yet.
821
01:00:38,219 --> 01:00:42,723
Gentlemen, we must resign ourselves
to a new dynasty.
822
01:00:43,141 --> 01:00:44,517
Louis XVI,...
823
01:00:45,059 --> 01:00:49,730
...is no longer free to decide.
He is hostage to the insurrection.
824
01:00:54,610 --> 01:00:56,112
What will you do?
825
01:00:56,988 --> 01:00:59,240
Stay with her, the time it takes.
826
01:00:59,407 --> 01:01:00,366
This prospect...
827
01:01:00,950 --> 01:01:02,618
...seems to fulfill you.
828
01:01:03,494 --> 01:01:06,831
I can't imagine my disarray,
had she left.
829
01:01:09,292 --> 01:01:11,502
- And you, Monsieur Moreau?
- Me...
830
01:01:12,336 --> 01:01:14,172
...until the day I die,...
831
01:01:14,547 --> 01:01:16,591
...I'll take notes.
832
01:01:33,065 --> 01:01:34,358
Here's the situation.
833
01:01:34,525 --> 01:01:37,486
The Queen has withdrawn
to her apartments.
834
01:01:37,653 --> 01:01:40,740
You must entertain her with a book.
Which one?
835
01:01:41,115 --> 01:01:42,533
She's not with the Duchess?
836
01:01:42,825 --> 01:01:45,244
Gabrielle isn't all-powerful. Hurry.
837
01:01:47,163 --> 01:01:48,915
She loves "Famous Dogs".
838
01:01:49,290 --> 01:01:50,333
Too frivolous.
839
01:01:50,875 --> 01:01:52,210
"History of the Sky".
840
01:01:52,501 --> 01:01:53,252
Too vast.
841
01:01:56,005 --> 01:01:57,465
"The Princess of Cleves."
842
01:01:57,632 --> 01:01:58,674
Too sad.
843
01:02:00,801 --> 01:02:02,178
Rousseau's "Confessions"?
844
01:02:02,511 --> 01:02:03,804
You'll see with her.
845
01:02:03,971 --> 01:02:05,056
But remember...
846
01:02:05,223 --> 01:02:08,559
...I'm the one asking you to stand by.
In a corner.
847
01:02:09,018 --> 01:02:10,144
The antechamber?
848
01:02:10,686 --> 01:02:12,438
We're unpacking in there.
849
01:02:12,605 --> 01:02:14,023
With Mme de Rochereuil?
850
01:02:16,192 --> 01:02:19,487
She was fired.
The Queen caught her stealing.
851
01:02:20,488 --> 01:02:22,240
Sad losing a close friend.
852
01:02:22,406 --> 01:02:24,867
I've never had friends in Versailles.
853
01:02:26,827 --> 01:02:28,204
We'll go in back.
854
01:02:33,292 --> 01:02:35,044
- I must tell you...
- What?
855
01:02:38,339 --> 01:02:41,008
- The chiming clock.
- Yes?
856
01:02:42,385 --> 01:02:45,763
Louison stole it.
She left with her Swiss Guard.
857
01:02:46,097 --> 01:02:47,932
We'll deduct it from your pay.
858
01:02:48,641 --> 01:02:49,892
Are you serious?
859
01:02:51,102 --> 01:02:52,520
I'd need several lives.
860
01:02:54,021 --> 01:02:56,732
Who cares about the chiming clock?
861
01:03:27,888 --> 01:03:30,057
I so wanted to leave.
862
01:03:33,978 --> 01:03:36,814
I'd never wanted anything so badly.
863
01:03:39,233 --> 01:03:42,361
I've never been so mortified in my life.
864
01:03:55,833 --> 01:03:59,420
Had the King agreed,
you and I would have been saved.
865
01:04:02,089 --> 01:04:03,507
My dear friend...
866
01:04:07,928 --> 01:04:10,139
...I was so worried.
867
01:04:10,431 --> 01:04:12,641
I kept thinking you were ill.
868
01:04:13,142 --> 01:04:15,644
Such dark thought crossed my mind.
869
01:04:17,146 --> 01:04:18,564
But here you are.
870
01:04:18,981 --> 01:04:20,733
Glowing.
871
01:04:23,069 --> 01:04:25,863
You're so beautiful in this green dress.
872
01:04:28,032 --> 01:04:29,200
Sea green?
873
01:04:29,408 --> 01:04:31,619
Pale green? Fern green?
874
01:04:32,036 --> 01:04:33,245
Jade green?
875
01:04:33,621 --> 01:04:35,289
Baby crocodile green?
876
01:04:36,374 --> 01:04:39,919
No, my dear.
It's as far from baby crocodile green...
877
01:04:40,086 --> 01:04:42,922
...as it is from spinach green
or acid green.
878
01:04:43,089 --> 01:04:44,340
Silk green?
879
01:04:45,925 --> 01:04:47,218
Or envy green?
880
01:04:47,635 --> 01:04:51,305
Envy is the most common thing
in the world.
881
01:04:51,472 --> 01:04:55,101
All they do is covet
the spot above their own.
882
01:04:55,267 --> 01:04:57,520
Then they bump into the ceiling.
883
01:05:02,525 --> 01:05:06,278
I wish I could have you always by my side.
884
01:05:08,155 --> 01:05:11,409
I feel so young every time I see you.
885
01:05:15,955 --> 01:05:19,959
Did you see those grief-stricken faces?
886
01:05:21,085 --> 01:05:23,712
Those musty-smelling ravens.
887
01:05:26,924 --> 01:05:29,009
And then I saw you,...
888
01:05:29,969 --> 01:05:32,513
...sparkling in this dress.
889
01:05:33,222 --> 01:05:35,474
Light green is the color of hope.
890
01:05:38,352 --> 01:05:40,729
So you dressed up for me.
891
01:05:42,606 --> 01:05:44,150
Only for you, Madame.
892
01:05:48,696 --> 01:05:50,489
You know, dear friend...
893
01:05:52,032 --> 01:05:55,119
...I barely exaggerate
the hate that surrounds us.
894
01:05:58,289 --> 01:05:59,957
I dragged you into it.
895
01:06:02,001 --> 01:06:05,254
Because of me,
the people want your head.
896
01:06:11,343 --> 01:06:14,472
You know what I learned at the Conseil
this morning?
897
01:06:17,224 --> 01:06:18,726
Yesterday in Paris...
898
01:06:19,059 --> 01:06:21,729
...a woman was stabbed in her carriage.
899
01:06:22,563 --> 01:06:24,690
The murderers mistook her for you.
900
01:06:27,276 --> 01:06:30,446
Burning our effigies is no longer enough.
901
01:06:30,613 --> 01:06:31,614
They want us...
902
01:06:32,239 --> 01:06:33,782
...in flesh and blood.
903
01:06:43,501 --> 01:06:45,628
This is why, dear Gabrielle.
904
01:06:46,212 --> 01:06:48,172
I'm beseeching you...
905
01:06:51,300 --> 01:06:52,718
...leave France.
906
01:06:54,136 --> 01:06:55,638
You and your family.
907
01:07:02,978 --> 01:07:04,980
You're surely right, Madame.
908
01:07:16,116 --> 01:07:18,452
I will leave because I must.
909
01:07:32,466 --> 01:07:34,051
Say no more.
910
01:07:39,014 --> 01:07:40,391
Go away.
911
01:07:44,937 --> 01:07:45,813
Wait!
912
01:07:51,819 --> 01:07:55,406
Let me inhale one last time
the scent of your youth.
913
01:07:59,034 --> 01:08:00,995
Don't let me abandon you.
914
01:08:04,748 --> 01:08:06,250
You already have.
915
01:08:10,129 --> 01:08:11,171
It's done.
916
01:08:13,382 --> 01:08:14,925
You've abandoned me.
917
01:08:49,084 --> 01:08:51,587
Augustine! The smelling salts!
918
01:08:52,463 --> 01:08:54,298
I don't need anything!
919
01:08:54,673 --> 01:08:56,467
Or anyone!
920
01:08:57,676 --> 01:08:59,303
Leave me alone!
921
01:09:04,350 --> 01:09:05,893
Leave me alone.
922
01:09:27,790 --> 01:09:29,792
To what do I owe this honor?
923
01:09:31,460 --> 01:09:33,003
You never set foot here.
924
01:09:33,921 --> 01:09:36,382
If only I knew where to set foot.
925
01:09:36,548 --> 01:09:38,342
I'm as lost as you.
926
01:09:44,682 --> 01:09:46,558
There's a cobweb in your hair.
927
01:09:48,894 --> 01:09:50,562
I went for a walk.
928
01:09:51,146 --> 01:09:52,398
In the attic?
929
01:09:52,731 --> 01:09:55,567
It's too rainy for a walk on the roof.
930
01:10:00,155 --> 01:10:02,408
So here we are.
931
01:10:03,450 --> 01:10:05,077
Prisoners, you and I.
932
01:10:07,246 --> 01:10:10,249
I just spoke with Monsieur Bailly,...
933
01:10:10,416 --> 01:10:12,376
...who was named mayor of Paris.
934
01:10:12,835 --> 01:10:16,672
He was welcomed at the Hotel de Ville
very enthusiastically.
935
01:10:17,172 --> 01:10:18,340
What did he say?
936
01:10:19,049 --> 01:10:21,552
Something very distressing.
937
01:10:22,386 --> 01:10:26,140
The people want not only bread,
but power.
938
01:10:27,725 --> 01:10:30,227
How can anyone want power?
939
01:10:31,478 --> 01:10:35,566
I've always considered power
a curse one inherits unwillingly.
940
01:10:36,900 --> 01:10:40,487
A curse hidden under ermine cloak.
941
01:10:42,990 --> 01:10:44,366
What else did he say?
942
01:10:44,533 --> 01:10:47,953
I'm to reinstate Necker
and announce it myself.
943
01:10:48,203 --> 01:10:49,663
At the Hotel de Ville?
944
01:10:49,955 --> 01:10:53,125
You know I hate violence.
I can't stop half-way.
945
01:10:54,877 --> 01:10:57,296
Then we shall go together.
946
01:10:57,463 --> 01:11:01,425
It is the King and the King alone
who must go to Paris.
947
01:11:02,301 --> 01:11:04,094
Don't go... please.
948
01:11:05,179 --> 01:11:07,222
A fanatic can assassinate you.
949
01:11:07,389 --> 01:11:08,348
It's my duty.
950
01:11:08,515 --> 01:11:10,225
What duty do you mean?
951
01:11:10,476 --> 01:11:14,354
To be killed? Taken hostage?
To abandon your children?
952
01:11:16,732 --> 01:11:18,692
- When are you going?
- Tomorrow.
953
01:11:18,984 --> 01:11:20,319
With soldiers?
954
01:11:20,569 --> 01:11:23,864
Bringing my Guard
would not please the people.
955
01:11:24,031 --> 01:11:27,284
Maréchal de Beauvau
and Admiral d'Estaing will come.
956
01:11:27,868 --> 01:11:28,994
Sheer madness.
957
01:11:29,161 --> 01:11:30,996
No, the voice of reason.
958
01:11:34,875 --> 01:11:37,085
Are you done? Let me see.
959
01:11:38,796 --> 01:11:40,130
I haven't slept.
960
01:11:40,422 --> 01:11:42,508
- I need a nap.
- Use my bed.
961
01:11:42,674 --> 01:11:44,593
I'm better off in my room.
962
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:46,011
Like a nun in a cell?
963
01:11:47,137 --> 01:11:48,347
Why do you say that?
964
01:11:50,974 --> 01:11:52,768
You'll end up a nun.
965
01:11:54,311 --> 01:11:55,437
See Paolo again?
966
01:12:53,453 --> 01:12:54,913
Wake up!
967
01:12:55,080 --> 01:12:56,623
My mistress hanged herself.
968
01:12:59,960 --> 01:13:00,961
Where?
969
01:13:01,128 --> 01:13:02,921
From a beam in her bedroom.
970
01:13:03,088 --> 01:13:04,756
Sidonie, I'm scared!
971
01:13:07,426 --> 01:13:08,844
Is she still there?
972
01:13:09,678 --> 01:13:12,264
I asked Antonio to untie her.
973
01:13:12,931 --> 01:13:13,974
Antonio?
974
01:13:15,726 --> 01:13:16,560
Yes.
975
01:13:17,185 --> 01:13:18,604
We're getting married.
976
01:13:20,731 --> 01:13:21,732
Really?
977
01:13:33,619 --> 01:13:34,953
What can I do?
978
01:13:36,330 --> 01:13:37,748
I have to go back.
979
01:13:38,832 --> 01:13:40,292
But I can't go alone.
980
01:13:58,310 --> 01:13:59,645
Monsieur de Coigny?
981
01:14:04,399 --> 01:14:05,400
Are you there?
982
01:14:12,032 --> 01:14:13,951
I'm sorry to bother you.
983
01:14:14,117 --> 01:14:16,745
Don't be, Mademoiselle Laborde.
984
01:14:17,329 --> 01:14:19,206
In such circumstances...
985
01:14:20,624 --> 01:14:23,627
Has her husband
been informed of her death?
986
01:14:23,794 --> 01:14:25,253
He left the chateau.
987
01:14:26,421 --> 01:14:28,131
He has behaved unspeakably.
988
01:14:29,424 --> 01:14:32,678
No use going back, Alice.
Sleep here tonight.
989
01:14:33,136 --> 01:14:35,138
I can't leave Antonio alone.
990
01:14:36,098 --> 01:14:37,224
I'll go.
991
01:14:37,683 --> 01:14:39,184
Honorine, go get my boots.
992
01:14:40,060 --> 01:14:42,020
We'll wake up Father Herissé.
993
01:14:56,618 --> 01:14:58,078
Now I understand.
994
01:14:58,495 --> 01:15:00,288
Understand what, Sidonie?
995
01:15:00,497 --> 01:15:02,708
Why the Queen was knocking at doors.
996
01:15:02,916 --> 01:15:06,461
You're dreaming...
She never opened a door in her life.
997
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:11,216
That man, without a cassock...
998
01:15:11,675 --> 01:15:13,760
...carrying a marble statue...
999
01:15:14,845 --> 01:15:17,431
Is that Father Herissé or am I blind?
1000
01:15:18,640 --> 01:15:20,100
Your vision is excellent.
1001
01:15:21,018 --> 01:15:23,353
He wasted no time jumping ship!
1002
01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:25,897
Don't worry. I'll wake the bishop.
1003
01:15:26,356 --> 01:15:28,108
What an appalling spectacle.
1004
01:15:30,694 --> 01:15:32,696
The Marquis de Vaucouleurs!
1005
01:15:34,865 --> 01:15:36,199
At his age...
1006
01:15:50,047 --> 01:15:52,090
I'll come along after all.
1007
01:15:52,340 --> 01:15:53,383
Doggie!
1008
01:15:53,842 --> 01:15:56,303
I hadn't seen her for a long time.
1009
01:15:57,012 --> 01:15:59,806
But being of equal rank,
I owe her a prayer.
1010
01:15:59,973 --> 01:16:02,476
In a nightdress? It's indecent...
1011
01:16:03,727 --> 01:16:07,230
Before being cheated on,
she had an unconventional streak.
1012
01:16:09,066 --> 01:16:09,983
Alice...
1013
01:16:13,445 --> 01:16:14,529
Let's go.
1014
01:16:22,204 --> 01:16:24,456
Did you know of Alice's marriage?
1015
01:16:24,623 --> 01:16:25,749
Of course.
1016
01:16:26,249 --> 01:16:27,834
It's a good one too.
1017
01:16:28,043 --> 01:16:30,796
Antonio's cousin
is one of the King's valets.
1018
01:16:33,006 --> 01:16:34,216
I'm told nothing.
1019
01:16:34,508 --> 01:16:36,093
You tell us nothing.
1020
01:16:38,595 --> 01:16:40,806
It's true.
Where do you come from?
1021
01:16:42,432 --> 01:16:43,558
You have parents?
1022
01:16:46,186 --> 01:16:48,105
Are they dead or alive?
1023
01:16:53,735 --> 01:16:54,861
Where were you born?
1024
01:16:56,404 --> 01:16:59,116
After four years
I know nothing about you.
1025
01:17:00,283 --> 01:17:01,409
Just mystery.
1026
01:17:02,786 --> 01:17:05,997
Always reading.
There's more to life than books...
1027
01:17:06,373 --> 01:17:07,582
And the Queen!
1028
01:17:33,817 --> 01:17:35,318
May she rest in peace.
1029
01:17:36,403 --> 01:17:38,238
Don't fall, Antonio!
1030
01:17:49,207 --> 01:17:52,294
Versailles, July 17th 1789
1031
01:18:52,354 --> 01:18:54,606
God knows if they'll ever reunite.
1032
01:18:58,818 --> 01:19:00,946
The finery book and the embroidery.
1033
01:19:09,913 --> 01:19:12,624
Very good work, Mademoiselle Laborde.
1034
01:19:13,708 --> 01:19:15,126
Thank you.
1035
01:19:30,642 --> 01:19:32,060
How is the Queen?
1036
01:19:42,153 --> 01:19:43,488
Wait for me here.
1037
01:19:49,577 --> 01:19:52,455
What matters
is to make it to Switzerland.
1038
01:19:57,502 --> 01:19:59,796
How is my outfit, Polignac?
1039
01:20:02,382 --> 01:20:06,469
Nowadays, coachmen keep their necks
longer than noblemen.
1040
01:20:06,803 --> 01:20:08,972
But I've never driven a carriage.
1041
01:20:10,890 --> 01:20:12,392
That mobcap suits you.
1042
01:20:12,559 --> 01:20:15,395
It's giving me some naughty ideas.
1043
01:20:17,147 --> 01:20:19,149
Save them for inn servants.
1044
01:20:19,774 --> 01:20:21,568
My wife dislikes masquerades.
1045
01:20:21,735 --> 01:20:24,154
Why are we waiting? I'm in a hurry.
1046
01:20:24,321 --> 01:20:25,947
This apron annoys me!
1047
01:20:26,239 --> 01:20:28,241
You're worried about leaving.
1048
01:20:28,742 --> 01:20:31,161
No, I'm dying to get out of here.
1049
01:20:31,494 --> 01:20:33,830
Lovely for Her Majesty, your friend.
1050
01:20:33,997 --> 01:20:36,499
Remember, we're following her orders.
1051
01:20:37,834 --> 01:20:39,336
Can you explain?
1052
01:20:40,128 --> 01:20:42,172
It's the Queen who will.
1053
01:20:42,505 --> 01:20:43,423
Come.
1054
01:21:01,983 --> 01:21:03,985
Refuse what she asks you.
1055
01:21:07,322 --> 01:21:09,199
I cannot refuse her anything.
1056
01:21:12,744 --> 01:21:14,496
It's not my concern anyway.
1057
01:21:37,310 --> 01:21:38,561
Come see.
1058
01:21:43,233 --> 01:21:44,526
Remember?
1059
01:21:46,403 --> 01:21:50,198
Two days ago I asked
to have a dahlia embroidered.
1060
01:21:51,908 --> 01:21:52,951
What do you think?
1061
01:21:53,701 --> 01:21:56,454
Madame Bertin's embroiderer is talented.
1062
01:21:58,623 --> 01:22:00,583
She stitched that with love.
1063
01:22:00,750 --> 01:22:02,669
What's her name again?
1064
01:22:03,169 --> 01:22:04,587
Marie-Louise Berchaud.
1065
01:22:09,384 --> 01:22:10,593
She'll be rewarded.
1066
01:22:14,973 --> 01:22:16,641
On that table...
1067
01:22:17,016 --> 01:22:18,101
...over there...
1068
01:22:18,643 --> 01:22:21,312
...there is a speech I wrote
by my own hand.
1069
01:22:21,479 --> 01:22:23,565
Bring me the paper, please.
1070
01:22:46,296 --> 01:22:49,382
If ever the King
is in a worrisome position,...
1071
01:22:50,884 --> 01:22:53,303
...I'll give this speech to the Assembly.
1072
01:22:53,470 --> 01:22:54,596
Start reading.
1073
01:22:59,142 --> 01:23:00,810
Gentlemen, I give...
1074
01:23:00,977 --> 01:23:02,562
No, out loud!
1075
01:23:03,146 --> 01:23:05,023
As if you were Queen of France.
1076
01:23:11,905 --> 01:23:13,031
"Gentlemen.
1077
01:23:14,199 --> 01:23:16,242
"I give you the wife...
1078
01:23:16,493 --> 01:23:18,495
"...and the family of your King.
1079
01:23:19,537 --> 01:23:21,581
"Do not divide on earth...
1080
01:23:22,207 --> 01:23:24,334
"...what was united in heaven."
1081
01:23:28,046 --> 01:23:29,714
I haven't written the rest.
1082
01:23:30,340 --> 01:23:31,841
Good start though?
1083
01:23:33,009 --> 01:23:34,302
Very good.
1084
01:23:34,469 --> 01:23:36,304
You think they'll let him return?
1085
01:23:37,597 --> 01:23:38,806
With all my heart.
1086
01:23:40,642 --> 01:23:43,102
What an idiot I am to ask you.
1087
01:23:44,020 --> 01:23:45,271
You have no idea.
1088
01:23:45,897 --> 01:23:47,440
No one does.
1089
01:23:48,566 --> 01:23:50,443
I know he's doing his duty.
1090
01:23:50,610 --> 01:23:51,653
Quiet!
1091
01:23:53,696 --> 01:23:55,156
Let's change the subject.
1092
01:23:56,741 --> 01:23:58,409
Let's discuss your future.
1093
01:23:59,536 --> 01:24:00,870
It's with you, Madame.
1094
01:24:01,079 --> 01:24:02,288
No, it's not.
1095
01:24:03,831 --> 01:24:06,751
A carriage is leaving for Switzerland.
1096
01:24:07,085 --> 01:24:08,461
You'll be in it.
1097
01:24:10,296 --> 01:24:11,881
Don't look so glum.
1098
01:24:13,091 --> 01:24:16,886
Two days ago you said
you'd be willing to travel for me.
1099
01:24:17,428 --> 01:24:19,389
I'm granting you the privilege.
1100
01:24:21,099 --> 01:24:24,435
You'll escape
with the Duke and Duchess de Polignac.
1101
01:24:26,604 --> 01:24:29,399
Gabrielle is too famous
and wrongly disparaged.
1102
01:24:31,442 --> 01:24:33,486
Undisguised, she'll be killed.
1103
01:24:34,571 --> 01:24:38,074
She'll go dressed as a servant,
and you as her.
1104
01:24:38,866 --> 01:24:41,953
If ever you're stopped,
I want her spared.
1105
01:24:44,247 --> 01:24:46,416
In a way, Your Majesty,...
1106
01:24:47,292 --> 01:24:49,586
...you're asking me to go as bait.
1107
01:24:49,836 --> 01:24:52,046
An ugly word for a pretty mouth!
1108
01:24:52,547 --> 01:24:54,632
Words are all I possess.
1109
01:24:54,966 --> 01:24:56,259
I wield them well.
1110
01:24:56,426 --> 01:24:59,596
No arrogance
when I allow you to earn my love!
1111
01:25:05,268 --> 01:25:06,769
Send for Madame Bertin.
1112
01:25:18,364 --> 01:25:23,286
I confided in you yesterday
my love for Gabrielle
1113
01:25:23,661 --> 01:25:25,371
because you deserve it.
1114
01:25:28,750 --> 01:25:32,337
Was ever a queen
on such intimate terms with her reader?
1115
01:25:47,644 --> 01:25:50,063
Almost nothing to touch up.
1116
01:25:50,647 --> 01:25:51,773
Undress!
1117
01:26:16,089 --> 01:26:17,173
Madame Bertin!
1118
01:26:19,467 --> 01:26:21,969
Gold coins for your embroiderer.
1119
01:26:23,054 --> 01:26:25,014
Congratulate her on my behalf.
1120
01:26:25,181 --> 01:26:27,266
It's too much, Your Majesty.
1121
01:27:25,825 --> 01:27:26,951
Sidonie.
1122
01:27:38,087 --> 01:27:39,714
Tell Gabrielle...
1123
01:27:41,007 --> 01:27:42,633
...that I'll never forget her.
1124
01:29:12,014 --> 01:29:14,350
Who do you think you are?
Mind yourself.
1125
01:29:19,397 --> 01:29:20,356
Sit back.
1126
01:29:21,315 --> 01:29:23,234
There's no need to be seen.
1127
01:29:25,361 --> 01:29:26,737
In Sens we'll see.
1128
01:29:26,988 --> 01:29:29,615
See what?
Your friend had a bad idea.
1129
01:29:29,782 --> 01:29:30,908
Do you have another?
1130
01:29:32,034 --> 01:29:33,744
This masquerade will fail.
1131
01:29:36,038 --> 01:29:38,708
It's up to you to look like a lackey.
1132
01:29:58,352 --> 01:29:59,729
Do something.
1133
01:30:00,229 --> 01:30:01,981
Lie down on the seat.
1134
01:31:22,144 --> 01:31:24,522
Do justice to the Queen's expectations.
1135
01:31:35,324 --> 01:31:36,409
Where are you going?
1136
01:31:37,034 --> 01:31:39,328
To Basel. I have family there.
1137
01:31:42,206 --> 01:31:43,749
You have a safe-conduct?
1138
01:31:59,724 --> 01:32:00,891
It's you?
1139
01:32:02,184 --> 01:32:03,185
It's me.
1140
01:32:08,482 --> 01:32:11,277
I'm with my servant and my valet.
1141
01:32:24,206 --> 01:32:25,499
Have a safe trip.
1142
01:32:31,047 --> 01:32:32,256
Let them through.
1143
01:32:53,319 --> 01:32:55,362
My name is Sidonie Laborde.
1144
01:32:57,406 --> 01:32:59,784
Both my mother and father are dead.
1145
01:33:02,244 --> 01:33:04,080
I was the Queen's reader.
1146
01:33:05,581 --> 01:33:06,874
I obey the Queen.
1147
01:33:10,211 --> 01:33:12,546
Soon I will be far from Versailles.
1148
01:33:15,382 --> 01:33:17,426
Soon I will be no one.
1149
01:33:33,609 --> 01:33:35,653
FAREWELL, MY QUEEN
1150
01:34:20,406 --> 01:34:25,202
In memory of Jacques Tronel
1151
01:35:47,076 --> 01:35:49,245
Subtitles: Andrew Litvack
1152
01:39:22,249 --> 01:39:24,376
