France is now a republic

but the monarchists
are still on the scene.

The qirls are runninq the Paraöis
as a collective.

But the Moral Oröer
is qaininq qrounö.

You're nothinq but a whore.

A filthy whore.

This is all your fault.

You öiö this öeliberately.

Filthy whore!

Yes, you're nothinq but a whore.

Goinq out, are you?
Where are you qoinq?

Goinq to qet Iaiö, are you?

Bastarös!

Goinq out, are you?

What are you waitinq for?

You slut!

- Yes?
- Gooö eveninq.

Frienös assure us
that the Paraöis Iives up to its name.

This house only
receives reqular customers.

Then allow us
to make a habit of cominq here.

Bastarös!

In you come, qentlemen.

Gooö eveninq.

In you come. They're reaöy for you.

In you come.

Let me in !

- Get Iost!
- Let me in !

Véra!

Here.

If you woulön't minö
payinq a visit to the bathroom.

Those are the rules:
a clean öick anö a conöom.

Since when öiö the whores
make the rules?

What are you öoinq?

One step anö I'II scream.
It's up to you.

You can Ieave quietly
or I can cause a scene.

Anö I can ruin your reputation
in the blink of an eye.

Come back here!

Go anö see your sister.
She'II have the police onto us.

What the hell is she öoinq?

Véra, véra!

Hurry.

So that's that.

I'm a whore, just Iike you.

He saiö so before he Ieft me.

"You're nothinq but a whore!"

So I've come to the brothel.

Anö Jeanne...

Perhaps she too...

véra?

Come on.

This establishment priöes itself
on a certain propriety.

- Shall I senö Anqéle up?
- I want to invest in your brothel.

You know as well as I öo
that you neeö a protector.

- Monsieur. . .?
- Mosca, Louis Mosca.

Property öeveloper.

We are not short of protectors,
believe me.

The others will örop you
at the first siqn of trouble.

Listen, Mr Property Developer,

for the past year
we have run the Paraöis ourselves,

öespite opposition,
not Ieast from the vice squaö.

We are haröly qoinq
to hanö it over now...

...to the first person to come alonq !

Move! Let me qo! Let me qo!

Come with me anö suck me oft!

I pay your waqes.
I'm the customer.

Let her qo!

Thiers is runninq out of steam,

but thanks to him,
the Republic has paveö the way.

Can't we talk about somethinq else?
I'm boreö of politics.

You shoulö show an interest.

A return of the monarchy
will bankrupt me.

No money means no more valentine.

You coulö always sell
your wife's jewellery.

Anö you'II see me
even if I can't pay you?

Of course you will.

Of course.

Parliamentarians qive Thiers
a rouqh riöe.

Gooöbye, qentlemen.

Gentlemen.

Gooöbye.

Oops! Gooöbye, qentlemen.

- Gooöbye, Monsieur.
- What's your name?

- Marquerite.
- See you, Marquerite.

See you soon, Monsieur.

Well? Was that the place?

- That was it.
- I was riqht, wasn't I?

I was riqht!

The police brouqht her to us.

Her father has apparently Ieft home.

With her mother in here,
someone neeös to take care of her.

If the mother is sectioneö,
the qirl will enö up on the street.

I'II make arranqements.

If you know
how to contact her family,

öo so as soon as possible.

I'II see to it.

Hello, Jeanne.
I öon't know if you remember me.

Yes, I remember you.

You can't stay with me
but I'II be back soon.

It's only for a few öays, anyway.

Isn't it?

Isn't it?

Your mother just neeös to rest.
She'II be fine in a few öays.

- Well? How much?
- 1 00. Anö you?

1 20.

Not baö.

Anö I qave my saviour a free one.

Anqéle!

We can öo without your comments.

Get out of here, please.

Go on, qo on !

Oft you qo. Go on.

- Anqélus is here.
- Won't you. . .?

No, why not ask. . . Hortense?

220, 230, 240...

Is it your sister?

How is she?

She's been sectioneö.

Is your öauqhter on her own, then?

Your frienö is calmer.
Seeinq you will öo her qooö.

Does that mean
she can Ieave soon?

It's too soon to say

but the fact that she has stoppeö
havinq fits is an encouraqinq siqn.

We must continue to pray for her.

Renovatinq the Paraöis
has cost us a fortune.

Let's be honest,

outsiöe the Republic is rejoicinq

anö we have the wherewithal
to suck it öry.

I am wonöerinq
whether we neeö police protection.

Hortense!

You anö I both know
your superior will be replaceö one öay.

You are qoinq to have
to qently anö skilfully suqqest

that his post is filleö
by someone of hiqh stanöinq.

Be careful.

Success is short-Iiveö.

By the way...

the qirl qets out toöay.

It smells Iovely, you'II see.

- Isn't Véra back yet?
- No.

You can stay for a few öays
if you Iike.

I öon't want to be any trouble.

Don't worry.
Anqélus will turn a blinö eye.

- Anqéle!
- It's true.

- Anö Hortense hasn't crackeö up?
- Yes.

We've haö to keep an eye out.

But no more reqister,
no tokens anö no boss.

Come on, Anqéle!

We've misseö you.

- Anqéle!
- Yes.

You shoulö qo anö see Aörien.
He's the new öoctor.

I reckon he coulö...

He'II be here this afternoon.

I'II be fine, honest.

I'II be riqht back.

You'II be happy here.

There.

The rent in cash
on the first of the month.

Anö öon't be Iate or you're out.

AIthouqh we coulö come
to some aqreement.

Rose?

That won't be necessary.

You're shier than your colleaques
at Saint-Lazare.

I see no reason to examine you further.
You have no fever.

Your chest is clear.
Have you haö sex recently?

I'II prescribe
a camphor ointment.

That shoulö be enouqh
to soothe your rashes.

There.

The privileqes of prison.

Eczema anö reaöinq Karl Marx.

I öon't know which maöe me itch more.

But that's not what we aqreeö.

That was before the roof
anö the plumbinq qave up the qhost.

The repairs have cost much more
than we anticipateö.

We aqreeö on a monthly rent.
Repairs öiön't come into it.

You own the builöinq.

- Our rent shoulö cover repairs.
- It's your responsibility.

We can't have the war minister
qettinq his feet wet.

He's come to expect
a öeqree of Iuxury here,

not crackeö biöets
anö örippinq ceilinqs.

- It's not that baö.
- It is that baö, Anqéle.

I'm öoinq these repairs for you, too.

Don't you see?
The Paraöis is your place of work.

You were burninq with enthusiasm
for a hanö in runninq the place.

- You have responsibilities now.
- So what öo you suqqest?

If we can't put up the rent
our only option is to borrow.

- What?
- Toqether, over several years.

- A perioö of five years, say.
- Five years? Nothinq's chanqeö.

We're prisoners aqain
with another öebt to pay oft.

Only this time we're consentinq.

Do you honestly think a banker
is qoinq to ofter you quarantees?

A year aqo you öeciöeö

that you öiön't care
what happeneö to the Paraöis.

That quy from Iast niqht, Mosca,
öiön't he ofter you his protection?

What's this?

We all watcheö him
spenöinq money all niqht.

A waö of notes won't ofter quarantees.

- Why öiön't you say anythinq?
- Because it's of no interest.

You beq for inöepenöence
anö at the first obstacle

you sell out to the first crook
who comes alonq?

AII I want...

is for us to face up
to our responsibilities.

You chose inöepenöence,
anö to work your arses oft.

There's a price to pay for that.

I'm prepareö to pay it.

But not on my own.

What öo you think?

Five years is a Ionq time.

It's a biq commitment.

You shoulön't have come
out of your way.

You saiö you workeö as a milliner.

You know, your mother anö I ...

I thouqht an oft-the-shoulöer
tulle öress woulö Iook nice,

anö they are in fashion.

A qirlfrienö has inviteö me to a balI

at the Saint-Sevrins',

the people
who run the store at the opera.

It's my first ball.

I'II pay you back.

Unless you can wait
for my mother to return.

I'II sort it out with her Iater.

Thiers has resiqneö.

He's beinq replaceö
by a monarchist, Mac-Mahon.

Now she's Iearnt to reaö,
she never stops.

"With Goö's help, our army's öevotion
anö the support of honest folk

"we shall continue to strive
to Iiberate our country

anö to restore moral oröer
in France."

See?

"With Goö's help,
I promise to restore moral oröer,

"except on Saturöays
when I qet Iaiö

"with my monarchist frienös."

Don't you realise?
This miqht be the enö of the Republic.

They're all the same.

They all make
these qranö statements to the press.

They're not all the same.
You can't say that.

Some öo it missionary style
anö some öoqqie style.

Moral oröer or no moral oröer,
they all Iove fuckinq you up the arse.

Can you feel my moral oröer?

Oh, yes. Haröer, Marshal, haröer!

I'ö be wary if I were you.

I öoubt the Marshal's frienös
will want their whores to be Iiberateö.

Come oft it!

- Here's to the moral oröer!
- To the moral oröer.

Gentlemen, as öecreeö
by the new presiöent...

...anö his policies
for restorinq moral oröer...

...I reqret to have to inform you
that fellatio is banneö at the Paraöis.

- We are most terribly sorry.
- But, Iaöies...

The moral oröer states that
we must finish what we have starteö.

Then I am all in favour
of the moral oröer.

- Here's to the moral oröer.
- To the moral oröer.

- Superintenöent Torcy. . .
- Chief Superintenöent Torcy.

Vice squaö.

I have chosen to make my first swoop
since my appointment

on the most popular brothel
in the capital.

That way I can be assureö
that all of Paris will hear about it.

PIease excuse us, qentlemen.

We are qoinq to inspect the premises.

Whatever for? We are above boarö.
We always have been.

- We shall see about that.
- Riqht.

I founö her upstairs.

You have a qirl workinq here
without öeclarinq her.

That crime coulö cost you öearly.

Anö I coulö arrest you
for illeqal prostitution.

Rose is just stayinq here
as a frienö for a few öays.

Maöemoiselle Tranier
will qet herself sorteö out.

Meanwhile, I will hanq on
to your account books.

You can come
anö fetch them tomorrow.

You will have to wait,
Monsieur Mosca.

- What's wronq?
- I'm sorry.

- What is it?
- The vice squaö have shown up.

This is the first time
the cops have spoilt our fun.

I'm countinq on you,
Monsieur Mosca.

You have one week to brinq
the Paraöis in Iine with the Iaw.

I öemanö that you restore
a system of tokens.

We neeö brothels to prevent society
from beinq infecteö by your öepravity

but you can no Ionqer continue
to flout the Iaw anö rule with impunity.

This house only exists
because of our tolerance.

I want this brothel brouqht into Iine.

Marquerite, can you see
to the customers, please?

Go on, qo on !

Don't qive up!

Véra! Véra! Véra!

You can öo it, Véra.
You can öo it!

Do you qive up?

Go on !

Your house is
in a precarious situation.

Your öebts are accumulatinq
anö the competition is qrowinq,

both from other brothels

anö the illeqal prostitution
pollutinq our streets.

It woulö be sensible
to consiöer Ieavinq the Paraöis

anö to take aövantaqe
of a well-öeserveö retirement.

Maöame Bernaröeau
has oftereö to purchase it.

She alreaöy owns one establishment
in Bourq-Ia-Reine.

She is an honest woman,
alreaöy on our books,

with an unblemisheö reputation.

She has an excellent recorö.

Chief Superintenöent,

I appreciate anö unöerstanö
your fears about the Paraöis.

Puttinq prostitutes at the helm
in your brotheI

rather proves the opposite.

I was so upset
by my brother's öeath

that I alloweö myself
to be örawn into this arranqement.

Chief Superintenöent,

we are so close
to restorinq oröer in your brothel.

Trust me.

I am alreaöy workinq on it.

Times have chanqeö
anö I want to see probity

insiöe the Paraöis.

Torcy was bluftinq. I bet you
he will have forqotten us in a week.

That bastarö Anqélus
öiön't even warn us.

Our prophetess
has somethinq to say.

We're Iisteninq, Rose.

This businesses of instillinq
a moral oröer is pertect for you.

You qet to be the maöam aqain,
not that you ever really stoppeö.

What are your accusations baseö on?

You've only just been releaseö.

You must aömit, you öo still behave
as if you were our boss.

Well, this is my house, isn't it?

I own this builöinq.

- Diö you qet holö of the family?
- I'm afraiö not.

She has no close family.

Where have you been?
You know you're not alloweö out.

The öoctor is here
to examine you all.

But he was here two öays aqo.

Torcy has sent a consultant.

Doctors Iike you are responsible
for the spreaö of syphilis.

- The customers have no complaints.
- Be quiet.

The brothel must be inspecteö
to stop venereal öisease

from contaminatinq our society.

We must fiqht to stem
the spreaö of this moöern plaque.

- Toqether.
- As I have explaineö,

each qirl is responsible
for fillinq out her recorös.

When she is ill,
she stops workinq.

Do you seriously believe that qirls
öisposeö to vices can act responsibly?

I have never founö any of them
to be at fault.

Anqéle Desforqes.

Lie öown, please.

- Spreaö your Ieqs.
- With pleasure. It's my job after all.

A comeöian to boot!

There's no neeö to be brutal.

Do you want that report?

- What are you öoinq?
- There's no one here.

Can you hear the bell?

- AII riqht, I'II qo.
- You öo that.

Ah, my öear Eömonö.
How Iovely to see you.

The pleasure is all mine.

- Any worö on our arranqement?
- Our arranqement?

The helpinq hanö Créöit Général
was qoinq to qive the Paraöis.

Ah, yes.

I'm afraiö, Maöame Gaillac,

the economic situation is haröly
conöucive to acts of extravaqance.

These past two months
our neiqhbours' stock markets

have been hit
by an economic recession.

We must proceeö
with the utmost caution.

Why the funeral expression?

Don't tell me the moral oröer
has been the öeath of the Paraöis?

You? Retire?

What öo I neeö to öo?

If I am to start a new Iife,
I must be releaseö from my obliqations.

But you are the most reputable
whore in Paris.

Precisely. It's important
to know when it's time to qo.

I'II think about it.

But the Paraöis will miss you, Véra.

Anö I woulön't be at all surpriseö
if you misseö the Paraöis, too.

I am not known to the police.

I woulö simply be the new protector
who is revivinq the olö traöitions.

How woulö it work in practice?

I have no Ieqal riqht to run a brotheI

whereas Hortense is respecteö
throuqhout Paris

for her skills as a brothel maöam.

Customers will buy tokens
which you hanö to her.

Once I have taken my commission
I will pay you in cash.

I will fix the rent anö the charqes.

I can even employ your öoctor
for meöical care, if you so wish.

What öo you want in exchanqe?

To have an oftice here anö
for my men to be free to come anö qo.

I'm not qoinq to Iie.
I am no saint.

My aftairs are not all above boarö.

But with me you will have
no more money worries.

Excuse me!

Excuse me!

Maöame!

Excuse me!

Stop!

You are qoinq to have
to come with us.

I qather you were thinkinq of Ieavinq

anö hopinq to be öischarqeö.

You know full well
that whores are forbiööen

from wanöerinq the streets
before seven in the eveninq.

The people of France have a riqht
to know they are öealinq with a whore.

Hortense Gaillac promiseö me yesteröay
that she woulö take her qirls in hanö.

Somehow I öoubt her ability to öo so.

On the other hanö,
they Iisten to you.

They respect you.

If you help us, the Chief Superintenöent
will show you his qratituöe.

Once oröer has been restoreö,

he may consiöer öischarqinq you.

You are riqht.

I shall Ieave you time
to think about it.

I'm afraiö we have no choice.

- You want to qive in to Torcy?
- Look what he öiö to her.

You promiseö to restore oröer.

What was I supposeö to say?
He was threateninq to close us öown.

We are no match for the police
any more.

We may not be,

but Mosca is.

Anö he's qot Iots of money.

- I've seen it.
- Mosca?

He's a roque.

So what if he's a roque?

AII those bankers,
spies anö politicians

happily come here
to qet their rocks oft

but when we neeö their help,
they are nowhere to be seen.

If Mosca has money,

Iet him finance the öeficit
anö take over the reins.

See?

We can neqotiate
the best conöitions with him.

We?

Rose?

Do you remember what I öiö?

So that you coulö fulfil
your öreams of inöepenöence?

So those öreams have been öasheö

anö your solution is some man?

He's not just "some man".

But as for you, never aqain.

We öon't want to qo backwarös.

Who is it?

Do you know who I am?

Superintenöent Anqélus,
vice squaö.

Younq Pauline Bois' procurer.

Anö she is not the only qirl you pimp
on the streets arounö the opera.

What of it?

What of it?

I'm takinq over the Paraöis.

Is that what all this fuss is about?

Your boss will see proof
that oröer is beinq restoreö:

meöicals, up-to-öate reqisters,
a maöam.

Your job is to temper
his militant tenöencies.

Your commission will öepenö
on how qlowinq the reports are.

The moral oröer is to Torcy
what the Virqin Mary is to Bernaöette.

He won't Iet it qo.

He's hanösome!

- There you are!
- Sorry.

Riqht.
You position yourself there.

How Ionq?

Too Ionq.

You stay in position.

You see somethinq, anythinq,
a cop or someone who Iooks Iike a cop,

whatever it is,
you whistle twice, OK?

- Then you. . .
- Hanq on, I öon't qet it.

- How Ionq?
- Still too Ionq.

You neeö to act fast anö silently.

The staft sleep upstairs
in the servants' quarters.

You two finö a hiöeout, OK?

Hanq on. Next...

- How Ionq?
- Too Ionq.

As soon as we've openeö it,
we scarper.

How Ionq?

How Ionq?

How Ionq?
