� Good night.

Good night, my dear.

Business calls, duty calls. 'Til next time, good night.

What you want? You want money?

� Well, no, sir Archibald.

What we want are the security arrangements for the forthcoming visit

of Britannic majesty Queen Victoria.

Queen Victoria and the Giant Mole

Between Scylla and Charybdis,
comedy in verse by Jules Verne

� Allow me.

� But it's rubbish, Monsieur.

� Now, perhaps.

But some day it might be valuable.
� Never!

That fellow hasn't have the play that's lasting more than two nights.

� The tragedy of Louis the 15th lasted three.

� Yea, but nobody came for the third night. Not a soul.

Throw it away, Monsieur, I promise you:

that man is destined for total obscurity.

� The public are pigs, Jules. Always remember that.

We, artists, create the pearls

and the public tramples on it. It's the way of the world.

� Am I really giving them pearls, Felix?
� O, yes, you are, of course!

Otherwise, what would they trample on.

Thomas! Bring us a jug of your cheapest wine.

� But have you got the money to pay for it?

� Oh, what a question!

Of course!

I have nine sous.
� And the price is twelve.

� ...is fourteen.

Darling Thomas, now bring us a loaf of your stale bread too.

� One day, Verne, we will laugh at our early struggles.

� Truth is, Felix, I may have made a terrible mistake.

I may not be a writer at all.

� Do you know what separates the successful artist from the failure?

Believing himself.

� What about talent?

� Talent?
� Talent for what, Felix?

� Talent for getting the most out of life, Brigitte.

That's what really counts.

� To talent!

� Yea, whatever.

� One day,

talent or not talent, I am going to...

earn enough to afford a decent glass of wine.

With my friends in the cafe

I can convince myself that I was on the road to success.

But up in my garret,

cold, alone and hungry, it was harder.

� Anybody there?

Who are you?

How did you get up here?

� I want to know, Mr. Verne,

why you intend to kill the Queen of England?

� What on Earth may to think that I want to kill the Queen of England!

� The fact: that you have designed the machine

whose sole purpose is to eviscerate her.

� What machine?

� This machine.

Do you deny you drew it?

� I draw things like that all the time.

It's a doodle!

� You wouldn't say that,

if you saw the remains of the poor devil gutted last night.

� No!
� Yes.

So why?

And who are your accomplices?

� I know nothing about this!

It's true, I imagine this!

But look around you, do I have the money to build this?

I'm a writer!

I'm not a man of action!

� They say...

� What are you... what are you gonna do with me?

� Giving you the steaming cup.

� The steaming cup?

� Of tea! You taking sugar?

� Who are you?

� The folly of Mr...

� The valet!

He speaks fourteen languages, all of them badly.

Forget the tea, Passepartout, put that thing away and take the wheel.

� What... what are you doing with my papers?

� You have a deranged mind, Mr Verne,

seriously deranged mind.

Is that why you joined the conspiracy to assassinate one of the crown heads of Europe?

� I... I told you.

I'm innocent.

� Innocent?

I'm not sure I have ever met an innocent man in my entire life.

� Why... why don't you just cancel the Queen's visit?

� Because Her Majesty believes the peace of Europe depends on it.

� Then change the meeting place.

� Our envoy

was carrying the list of alternative venues,

when he was killed.

Start talking, Mr Verne.

� I did not build the mole but...

I think I know how it operates.

Sonic vibration.

� Go on.

� The mole would use vibrating bell cones with...

variable frequencies to cope with different rock and soil types...

� Scientific gobbledygook.

I want names.

I want addresses.

I want rendezvous.

Mechanical details do not interest me.

� They should.

They may just save Queen Victoria's life.

� Because...

� Because you can detect sonic vibration.

� He is right, master.

� How? Exactly?

� I need to do you a drawing.

� This drawing had better to be very very good.

� Embassy in sight, master,

we parking in the ground?

� Yes.

� This is the trembler...

vibrating at the right frequency.

These files here break loosing a mixture of sulphuric acid

and come through that...

� Sulphur? Sulphuric acid?

Which is setting fire to a fuse?

� With her... Which would in turn...

lights a rocket or a flare of some kind which lets you know that...

lets you know there is a mole nearby.

� How you getting such a thing deep enough into the grounds?

� The sewers.

You can... you can adapt the sewers then...

� Sewers?

Sewers?

Sewers!

It's brilliant!

And I always wanted to explore the sewers of Paris,

like The Humpback of Notre Dame.

� That was the bell towers, you idiot.

� It's just a pipe dream.

There's no way you'd be able to produce one of these in time for Queen Victoria's visit.

� Passepartout.
� Yes?

� What do you think?

Yes.

� It's brilliant.
� Really?

� It's brilliant!

� Do you think,

that one of these detectors could actually be built?

� These? In a flash!

� I think your plan is coming from a very interesting mind.

I invent things for Mr Fogg,

but never like this.

� You're not a valet?

� O, yes, I am.

But I have many other skills.

Let's get to work.

� Waves.

� Like the sea?

It's just dust from Passepartout sawing the metal pipes.

� Waves.

� What?
� It's fine, just rat!

Can you imagine, one day people travelling these tunnels.

� That's not a bad idea, Passepartout.

It looks like that thing passed by pretty close to here.

� Oh, it's a terrible machine, master Jules.

I am see sir Archibald after it passing through him.

His insides were out.

� Well, let's make sure Queen Victoria's inside stay in.

Come on! This is a good place to put the first one.

� Excellent!

The last two rockets put one on that stand and the other on the other one.

Well they should go off within fourteen seconds if the mole being detected.

Do you have the escape route planned?

� Everything to the the last detail.

Just like old times, isn't it, Fogg?

� Well except there're any mistakes if they're mine and it's immediately my fault.

� You don't miss belonging to the service?

� The service? Are you mad? Not for second.

� Philleas leaves me to take care of the Service.

Somebody in the family has to be prepared to take orders, you see?

� A-a, Rebecca! You fresh from the sewers?

Do you know my cousin, Duplessis?

� Of course.

Your exploits are the talk of the entire French intelligence community.

� Any vibration larger than a moving rat will set this off.

� Why you trusting this man?

� It's against my better judgement. Right.

But, there is something about him.

Really. Look. This is his umm...

this is his working drawing.

Passepartout assures me that it's sound enough.

� So, the theory is that if the Queen and the Emperor

stay within a ring of these devices,

the mole will not be able to approach them undetected?

� Well, let's hope so.

� General Duplessis. [fr.]
� Yes.[fr.]

� His Majesty wishes you to sign this.

� Certainly. [fr.]

If you'll excuse me.

� Who is that?

� Voila.
� Kind of you.

� Who is that?

� That's Henri Bellmain, one of Louis Napoleon's favorite advisers.

� The Emperor.

� We are finishing the other detector, master.

You coming to see it?
� Yes. Excuse me.

� Good day, Monsieur Verne.

Your dreams have come true.

� You've built my design.

It's real!

� Of course it is.

� How did you do it?

� Come inside and see.

� Come inside?

� Unless you are afraid?

Of what your own imagination can achieve.

� Do I really have a choice?

� Not really.

� The traitor!

� Dive to six meters.

� Thank you.
� Hey!

� Security!

� Hey!

� You're genius.

But you have some questions to answer, Monsieur Verne.

Do you intend to cooperate?

� Cooperate?

I didn't invent this machine to kill the Queen of England!

� Kill her?

We have no intention of killing her.

� What you going to do then?

� What don't you just put yourself in my hands?

� Why should I?

� Because...

I think I could make full use of your talent.

� What do you want from me?

� I want you to tell me where you have hidden the detection devices.

Whisper it to me.

� No.

� As you no doubt intended, Monsieur Verne,

the mole makes its way through the earth by a combination

of six tooth cutting blades in rotation,

reversible screws and intense sonic vibrations.

� That's pretty much what I had in mind.

� Naturally we dampen these vibrations

in order to prevent the crew from being shaken to pieces.

� Naturally?

� But if I turn this dial

the vibrations passing through your chair

will not be dampened

and will therefore pass directly through you.

� A-ha.

� Now, do you wish to speak?

Locations, Verne!

� Perhaps, we are mistaken, master?

� No, Passepartout, we saw him

getting into the infernal machine of his own accord.

Damn it!

� Perhaps, he not me...
� Fool of me! He made of fool of me!

� One I trying to say is perhaps he not meaning to.

Maybe he was taken by force.
� Oh, I didn't believe that

for a second, Passepartout!

He won my trust.

Not only did he win my trust, but turned it against me.

Excuse me.

� Jules Verne!

I thinking you're a brilliant man!

� You may be a writer, Verne, but

you have courage I did not expect.

� Who are you?

� This enterprise is masterminded by a secret aristocratic society

which has been guiding the fate of Europe for hundreds of years.

� Hundreds of years?

� We have adherents in the highest counsels of every land.

Today our mission is to save Europe.

� From what?

� Democracy. It is eroding the foundation of virtue.

The wise and the good should rule, not those who merely stir up the masses.

� Who decides who is wise and who is good?

� I believe you to have true nobility of soul,

but are you recognized? No?

No, you are a writer starving in a garret.

Is that just?

� No... I don't think so but...

� Your genius deserves to be known to all the world.

� What does this have to do with Queen Victoria?

� Sometime during in next 24 hours

Queen Victoria and the Emperor are going to sign a treaty

which will keep Europe locked in peace for another generation.

Kidnapping her will not only prevent that,

it will put France and England in arms for years to come.

And if war comes with technology like ours,

and genius like yours, we could bend all of Europe to our will.

Together, Jules, you and I.

� Sir, excuse me.
� For what?

� I think your speech should make an excellent impression this evening. [fr.]

� Thank you, Bellmain, very, very good.

� I have underlined certain key words and phrases, Your Majesty.

� Excellent.

� You have been very thorough, Jules Verne.

The ring of detection devices around every possible target.

� And they can't be disabled.

Anything bigger than a rat goes anywhere near them, they will go off.

� Tell me, what is the maximum range of each device?

� Four hundred yards.

� Those two they seem to be more than 800 yards apart.

� That's true.

We had trouble with sewers there.

� It may be just the gap we need.

We must move quickly.

The state dinner has already begun.

If we succeed tonight, we will celebrate, you and I.

� Well done, Bellmain!

We are locked on to our target.

Commence acceleration!

� Is that some sort of homing device?

� Everywhere the majesties are, there are friends of ours beside them, guiding us to our goal.

Shows you what powerful people, Verne.

� It gives me the greatest pleasure to welcome, on behalf of France,

the British Queen to our capital city.

� Is this the gap we should go through?

� That's the gap.

� Hard aport, fifteen degrees.

You have made the right choice Jules.

You are part of one of the greatest crews in history.

You should be proud.

� In offering this salute to my esteemed fellow monarch,

I would like to review the hist...

� ...the relations between our two great nations.

� Sit down and hold on tight.

� We began two and half thousand years ago...
� What?

� ...in the farthest of time.
� Verne?

� When the celtic tribes float...

� One hundred yards and climbing.

Refract trajectory.

Brace for breakthrough.

� This way, please, your majesties!

� Rebecca, go with them.

Guards open the gate, quickly! Hurry up!

Passepartou, go help them.

Driver go!

� They've gone!

You lied!

You lied me!

� Thanks to this traitor,

we had have a set back,

but we are not defeated.

� Yes, you are.

I put detectors all over the city they'll know you're coming every time.

� Yes, but my guess is they won't stay in the city.

The Emperor will have been humiliated by what happened tonight.

He won't risk a reputation.

They will go to the country.

� Passepartout, we need detectors, we need many more detectors.

� So, master Jules did not deceive you, did he, master?

� No, he did not.

I wronged him.

But the Emperor and Her Majesty have gone out to the Emperors hunting lodge

so we need to install detectors there tonight.

Just drop whatever you're working on and get on with them.

� But, master, what I'm working on is a devise that could saving life of Jules Verne.

� What do I have to do?
� Come here.

� We're over the hunting lodge, Passepartout. Prepare for landing.

� Well, we are now directly under grounds of the hunting lodge.

There doesn't seem to be any unusual activity.

Stop all engines.

We sit down now and wait for Bellmain to switch on the signal.

Even if they install the detectors, we are inside the ring.

So, Monsieur Jules Verne,

you thought you could outwit us, uh?

On the contrary, we used your own tools against you.

Now do you realise what the foolish choice you made when you rejected my offer?

� Maybe the foolish choice but it was the right one.

You stand for the past.

I believe in the future. I believe in science.

� But, so do we.

Science simply makes it easier to keep the little people in their place.

� Democracy will triumph. I assure you of that.

� You are in no position to assure me of anything.

You will remain alive only long enough

to watch us capture the Queen of England, and then you will die.

� Well then I will die knowing that I...
� No, you will just die!

Now. Get some rest.

We have a big day ahead of us.

� How do we ensure that the conflict in the Balkans

does not draw the great powers into a general war?

� We have a proposal for that.

Bellmain, the Balkan dossier.

� Your Highness.

You turn to page three, Your Majesty.

� Ah, yes. Here we are.

We propose that impartial negotiators be appointed by the courts of both our countries.

� Yes! They are in position!

And we are locked on target.

I want you to feel our moment of victory.

� That seems amicably satisfactory, Louis.

Yes, I think the British government could agree to that.

� Good. Then I believed the last obstacle has been lifted.

� Absolutely.

� Go!

� That's how they do it.

Bellmain!

� Are we ready to see if this device actually works, Passepartout?

� Down dropping now.

� Good... grief!

� What, master?

� Look at this, Passepartout! There...

� Is the mole? Has got through!

� Emergency dive.

� Bellmain!

I believed this is yours.

� I believe you are right.

Always full of surprises, mademoiselle Fogg.

� Reverse rotation!

And hold onto something.

� We will never getting down there in time, master!

� Activate a sound damper!

� Very creative, Rebecca!

� This is for England!

� What's happening?
� I don't know!

� It's working, master! It's working!

� I want to get down as quickly as I can, Passepartout.

Lower the winch and then land the Aurora, will you?

� Verne! What have they done to you?

� Fogg, I didn't tell them anything.

� Let's get you out of here my friend.

� Fogg! Look out!

� I would really prefer if you came quietly because I hate fighting women.

� But I like fighting men. Especially if I get to kill them.

� Some other time perhaps.

� Is she dead?

� No, no, no. Just inched.

Rebecca! Good of you to drop in.

� Yes, glad to see you have been tidying up, Philleas.

Mr Jules Verne, I presume!

� Verne, may I present my cousin miss Rebecca Fogg.

� Pleased to meet you, Miss Fogg.

� I think you'd better call me Rebecca,

since we are obviously fighting on the same side.

Philleas?

� Absolutely. Come on.

� Master Jules!

� Thank you.
� You have been scramble!

Like an egg!

� It would have been worse,

if you had not built that counter wave device.

A smart piece of work.

� You having the idea.

Master Fogg and me only building it.

� Which makes you a pretty formidable team.

� Quite agree, Miss Fogg!

� Your Majesty!

I am... I am fill with wonders at your awfulness.

� Thank you.

The Emperor and I are profoundly grateful to all of you.

Aren't we, Louis?

� A perfect example of Franco-British cooperation.

� Philleas, you more like your father every day.

� Thank you, Your Majesty.

� And should you ever decide to release your excellent man servant,

you would find an honored place in our household.

� Thank you, Your majesty.

� Dear Rebecca.

We shall continue to follow your career with great interest.

� Thank you, Your Majesty!

But it would be not have been possible without Mr Jules Verne.

� Indeed.
