CLAMOURING

Hurrah! Long live the Queen!

Free the Cardinal!
Free him now!

Long live the Queen!

Support the Cardinal,
a victim of royal tyranny!

Long live the King.

Long live the King.

God save the King,
and God save the Queen.

Madame de Rohan.

You promised to avoid a spectacle.

What can I say?

The King's persecution
of the Cardinal

has inflamed public opinion.

We put up with your liberal lawyer,

but now you are using
this trial as propaganda

for your radical ideas.

You had better get my nephew off.

Otherwise, I'll denounce you
as a traitor to your class.

Down with monarchy!
Down with monarchy!

You should tell them the truth.

Without witnesses, we can't
prove Rohan's innocence.

Long live Her Majesty!

SHE PANTS

Are you sure you need to attend in
person, Your Majesty?

I want to see Rohan confess.

You could observe proceedings here.

All rise for the President d'Aligre.

Do you need cushions?

No. Really, no, I'm fine.
Are you sure?

As President of the Parliament of
Paris, I declare that the case

of the Crown versus Cardinal Rohan
is now in session.

WHISPERING

What a ham!

Ridiculous.

I hope the parliamentarians are not
fooled by his performance.

I'm certain they won't be.

Well, let justice be done.

And so the prosecution concludes

that the diamond necklace
was handed to an accomplice

of the Cardinal
posing as the Queen's guard.

The accomplice has not
been seen since he fled,

no doubt on the orders
of the accused,

or his wizard, Cagliostro,

who will appear later
as a co-conspirator.

I think we have a strong case.

The missing guard is a loose end.

Well, the rumour is he's dead.

I'd prefer it to be watertight.

Monsieur Target for the defence,
you may question the accused.

Thank you, Monsieur President.

Please state your name.

Louis-Rene-Edouard,

Cardinal de Rohan,

Prince-Bishop of Strasbourg,

Provisor of the Sorbonne,
and Grand Almoner of France.

The defence will prove to you
that the Cardinal was

the victim of a confidence trick.

Now, in his desire
to be a faithful subject,

he was taken in by a cunning
and manipulative woman.

Who stole the necklace, Cardinal?

As far as I know, and based on
the evidence available to me,

the thief was
Queen Marie Antoinette.

GALLERY GASPS

GAVEL BANGS
Order.

Order!

I should have known he'd lie.

They must correct
the record immediately.

It's a dirty defence tactic.

Everyone will see through it.

Why would you suspect the Queen?

It was known that I was
out of favour

and hoped to redeem myself.

I donated to one of her charities
run by the Countess de Valois.

Yes, you mean
Madame Jeanne La Motte?

Yes, sorry. She told everyone
she was a countess.

Yes, we'll meet this La Motte
later as a supposed witness.

Go on, Cardinal.

Following my donations, I received
a note from the Queen.

I replied,
and we began correspondence.

Her letters were written
on pale blue notepaper.

It wouldn't be gentlemanly
to reveal what she said to me.

Suffice to say, I believed
myself her...intimate friend.

GALLERY GASPS
WHISPERING

This is a serious
accusation, Cardinal.

What proof do you have

that Her Majesty the Queen wrote
these letters?

Because she met me
in the gardens at midnight.

If no-one's going to
stop him, we should leave.

It's all right.
She gave me a rose.

I had it dried.

GALLERY GASPS

It was all above board.

Obviously, I...I'm a man
of the church.

But...why would the Queen do this?

Alas, I now see it was because
she wanted to exploit my loyalty.

She knew she could not buy
the diamond necklace publicly,

given the criticism she received
after her purchase of Saint-Cloud.

How dare he!

I admit I brokered
the sale of the necklace

and entrusted it to the Queen's
guard per her specific instructions,

but that was the last I saw of
the necklace and the diamonds.

My only crime is of being too
loyal a servant to the Crown.

A crown I now fear is flawed.

GALLERY MUTTERS
Shocking!

Silence.
BANGS GAVEL

You look pale. You should return
to Versailles and rest.

I'll manage.

I really think...
I'll manage. I...

Please, would you just go back
and check on the children?

Really, I'll feel better knowing
you're looking after them.

Monsieur President,
I suggest we take a short break.

Free the Cardinal! Free him now!

And the meeting in the gardens?

Hold on. Are you...

It would be helpful
to refute the allegation,

if you can tell us where you were
on the night in question.

I did not meet
that man in a garden.

He is lying to cover his own guilt.

Oh, my God.

Leave us.

Fersen was here in early June.

How can we answer Rohan's lies
without lying ourselves?

I don't know.

He seemed convinced of them himself.

What if he...

What if he did meet someone?

I don't understand.

Just someone pretending to be me.

I once saw this woman
onstage at the Palais Royal,

and she was a...

They... They are impersonators
who dress like me,

and they affect my mannerisms, so...

If Rohan met a woman and believed
her to be you...

..well, that suggests he
was a fool, not a thief.

Yeah.

Well, can you investigate?

Outside official channels?

Yes.

Well, according to this, we would go
bankrupt within six months. We...

I'm afraid so.

Unless Parliament approves
the loan extension.

Why are they delaying?

The Rohan trial.

They think you're persecuting the
nobility to enhance your own power.

And, I'm afraid, there's a rumour
going around Parliament

that we're about to propose radical
tax reforms.

How?

How did Parliament find out
about the reforms?

Only you, Vergennes, and I
knew about those proposals.

I have no idea, but we need that
loan extension.

Don't confirm their
suspicions about the reports

until we have that money.

Did you tell anyone about our plans?

Of course not, sire. No.
DOOR OPENS

What?

Someone got out on the wrong
side of bed this morning.

These walls have been talking.
Have you been...

Have you been rifling through
my desk?

What would I want in there?

Can't imagine
there's much of interest,

besides your scintillating
hunting journal.

No. I merely came
to bring the latest tripe

from the Palais Royal.

More attacks on your authority.

This one calls for the separation
of church and state.

You're dishevelled, brother.

It's not a good look for a king.

Please be seated.

Prosecutor Fleury, your witness.

Please state your name.

Jeanne de Valois.

And what is your relationship to
Cardinal Rohan?

I understand it is difficult,

but we are here
for the truth, madame.

The Cardinal exploited
my poverty and my innocence.

GALLERY GASPS, MUTTERS

Go on, please.

I was born to a noble family.

My father owned land in Champagne.

But we fell on hard times.

As a child, I was forced
to beg on the streets.

People would take pity
on a poor girl,

someone descended directly
from Henry II of Valois,

King of France.

And then you went to Versailles
and encountered the Cardinal.

Yes.

Was this when he started
to exploit you?

I asked the Cardinal for guidance.

He gave me some money and
asked me to collect donations

at Versailles for his charity.

I thought he was being kind.

GALLERY MUTTERS

And the necklace?

No. I knew nothing about
the necklace

until the Cardinal was arrested.

But given what I know now

about the Cardinal's vast debts,

that this charity was a lie, that
everything that he says is a lie...

..I think that the
Cardinal masterminded

the theft of the necklace

with the help of that
wicked Count Cagliostro.

INDISTINCT MUTTERING

Thank you.

I think that concludes today's
testimony, Monsieur President.

CARDINAL: You should have let me
tell the truth.

Now I've angered
the Queen even more,

and that bitch Jeanne will walk
free. We had to blame the Queen.

Without any other witnesses,
it's your word against Jeanne's.

And she's more believable than you.

How dare you speak to him like that?

He's right.

Why haven't you found
any more witnesses?

The missing guard?

The woman who impersonated the Queen
in the garden?

Blaming the Queen was your idea.

Would everyone calm down?

This trial isn't lost yet.

We can't find the guard,

but we think we know the identity
of the woman in the garden.

She fled when you were arrested.

My men are hunting her down.

However, if you don't need
my support, I'll withdraw it.

You won't.

Your reputation is as
much on the line as ours.

So trust me.

Perhaps we do need a new strategy.

You've asked for this trial because
you wanted to know the truth.

I'm just saying, what if there are
things we don't want to know?

Well, that's the risk
of a public trial.

Ow!

You're meant to be supporting me.

You want me to pander
to you like everyone else?

You are decisive,
which is a strength,

but you also act without considering
the consequences.

I didn't ask you to lecture me.

Do you think there's a chance that
the Cardinal could be innocent?

He can't be.

We have accused him publicly.

DOOR OPENS

Please, don't... Don't get up.

I hear today went well.

Very well.

I just loved getting accused
of stealing the necklace.

That's, um...

..a desperate move.

Don't you agree?

Oh... I agree, yeah.

We'll soon have this Rohan business
behind us, I'm sure.

Yeah.

I will come with you tomorrow.

You don't need to if...

No, I should be there.

I hear half of Paris now thinks
she stole the necklace!

Oh, there you are.

You must tell us everything, blow by
blow. Has Jeanne testified yet?

Forget about Jeanne.
Tell us about Monsieur Target.

I hear he's rather dashing
for a dangerous liberal.

Yes, if you like a peacock.

Oh!
HE CLEARS THROAT

Mesdames.

Louis is becoming
rather beautifully paranoid.

We must tell Malherbe.

Now, if Antoinette is blamed
for the necklace theft... Mm-hm.

the regency will surely
be mine, hmm?

Where do we stand?

The magistrates believe
Jeanne La Motte's every word.

She's making Cardinal Rohan
look guilty as sin.

Oh, good.

We don't want the Crown
to actually lose the trial.

But if Rohan is convicted,

I think people will feel
sympathy for Antoinette.

Sympathy? That is the last thing
we need.

The whole point is to damage her.

Can Jeanne be persuaded
to aid the cause?

SHE SIGHS
God.

Don't you
ever get tired of plotting?

This plotting serves us both.

Don't you want Marguerite back?

Now...

..we just need to figure out
how to get to Madame La Motte.

Where is she?

Bastille.

Can't we send someone?

A spy.

Beaumarchais?

Charming confidence.

I heard you gave a good performance.

I'm very flattered.

But it wasn't a performance.

And yet you gaily admitted
to stealing money

from half of Versailles.

On the naughty Cardinal's orders.

A crime nonetheless.

You must be relying on someone very
powerful to grant you clemency.

If I were, I wouldn't tell you.

Quite right.

But if it were, say, the Queen
you were relying on...

..it's only fair to warn you,

she's known for her inconstancy.

You got a better offer?

Look, Marie Antoinette has
no say on the sentencing.

The parliamentarians do.

Some factions of
Parliament would be happy

to hear anything
that damages the Queen.

I'm not a fool.

You've come straight
from the Cardinal,

wanting me to back up his
ridiculous accusations.

I have not.

My friends are happy for
the Cardinal to fall,

provided the Queen
goes down with him.

Why should I trust you?

You can't.

But we both know you're
walking a fine line.

You saw how ready the court was

to believe the Queen
stole the necklace.

Can you really rely on her
to save you?

SHE SIGHS

CLAMOUR

GAVEL BANGS

Madame Jeanne La Motte,
wife of Nicholas La Motte.

My name is Jeanne de Valois.

Yes. In fact, you told
everyone at Versailles

you were the Countess de Valois,
didn't you?

When you were granted this title?

The Cardinal told me to use it. Hmm.

Not that it's inappropriate
for me to use a title -

I am descended from kings.

And I suppose the Cardinal also
came up with

the catalogue of lies you told us?

A disinherited heiress
living on the street.

Apparently, your life has been
a romance novel, hasn't it?

I have spoken the exact truth.

The exact truth.
HE CHUCKLES

Thank goodness for that.

GALLERY CHUCKLES

You see, I think you
made it up on the spot.

We all know how convincing
you can be.

After all, you...you fooled half
of Versailles.

You persuaded them to donate to your
fake charity,

for which you'll soon
stand trial yourself.

It was the Cardinal's charity.

The truth, Madame La Motte, is that
before you came to Versailles,

you were destitute. You were
indebted up to your eyeballs,

only really able
to eat when...

..when some benefactor took pity
on you.

I'm actually quite surprised you
managed to stay healthy enough

for anyone to mistake you
as a countess.

All of my money went on the fight
to recover my ancestral lands.

Your ancestral lands!
I mean, what is it?

Half a field in Champagne here with
some resident pigs floating around?

GALLERY LAUGHS

Is it true that six years ago,

you were accused of forging
letters of recommendation?

That was a slander against me.

Of course it was. And the list of
merchants who will testify

to the rash of spending
in your household

shortly after the theft
of the necklace?

The furniture, jewels, dresses.
Slander also?

No. The truth, Madame La Motte...

De Valois.

..is that you're a fantasist.

You're a fantasist
and a career criminal.

I'm not. I mean, who are we to
believe stole this necklace?

What, the Cardinal?
With his many debts, yes,

but with so many
wealthy connections,

who still believes he was
only serving his Queen.

What need has he
to cheat and steal,

whereas you...

Well, you're absolutely
nothing without these lies.

He is obsessed with the Queen.

Sexually, I mean.

GALLERY GASPS
That's why he did it.

What did she say?

Sorry. The Cardinal has testified
to being a loyal subject.

Oh, but you should have heard his
boasts to me

about his visits
to the Petit Trianon.

He said he would cross a plank over
a ditch to get to the Queen.

On one occasion, he fell in and got
his cassock quite muddy.

This is more of your fantasy,
Madame La Motte.

If it is a fantasy, it is his.

But can it all be?

I mean, he told me about
the wall of diamonds

in her bedroom in the Petit Trianon.

She buys jewels, you know,
behind the King's back.

Th-There is no wall of diamonds.
Wh-What is she saying?

Your Majesty, no-one
must know you are here.

Louis, please.

It's no wonder Rohan thinks he could
put the blame on her.

We all know the Queen's
penchant for brilliant things.

You'd slander the Queen?

I am merely reporting
what Cardinal Rohan told me,

so the crime is his.

He would boast of her insatiable
appetites and eclectic interests.

He said she has suitors
scurried to her chambers

and is said
to be learning Swedish,

although what use she has
with that language,

I can't possibly know.

He said it's lucky the King
enjoys being a cuckold.

GALLERY GASPS

And he even has a giant
peephole in his royal closet.

Stop this trial immediately.

No, we can't. It would look like you
have something to hide.

Louis, sit down.

And listen to this?

They are ridiculing us publicly.

I will testify and refute all of it.

I will tell them I was with you
the night he claimed to have met you

in the garden. No, I won't have you
perjure yourself.

W-We're leaving.

I have to hear it out.

Yolande will go with you.

SHE EXHALES SHARPLY

That woman clearly has
her own agenda.

At least she's still
saying Rohan is guilty.

The meeting in the gardens,
did you find anything?

The woman who impersonated you
is missing.

My spies are looking for her.

If it turns out
she tricked Rohan...

..we just cannot have her
appear in court.

LAUGHTER AND CHATTER

You should have seen his face
falling on the floor!

Oh, there you are.
We were hoping you'd join us.

Yes, and I was hoping for a quiet
evening without my salon being used

as a forum for yet another
political cause.

Oh, he's grumpy because
Rohan is losing in court.

At least he's taking
Antoinette down with him.

Her reputation will never recover.

You've always been too concerned
with the Queen's bedchamber.

Join us and discuss
the real issues of the day.

Have you persuaded the Queen to join
your abolitionist movement?

We might need the King and Queen's
signature to end the slave trade,

but we won't wait for them to
convince society what's right.

Isn't it you who talks about
the power of the people?

Your Cardinal is a distraction

from the real problems, my friend.

We have to remember,
we are the solution.

Yeah. Yeah.

He's right.

This trial is not about
humiliating the Queen.

I know.

I am not the fool
you all take me for.

I am trying to drive a wedge between
Parliament and absolute monarchy.

If you can't help me, then what are
you still doing here?

I can help you.

First, I need something from you.

What do you want?

A promise that if
you ever become King,

you will give women equal rights
to men.

HE SCOFFS

You can't be serious.

I have what you need
to win the trial.

So?

Come on.

Who is this?

The missing guard.

Why the hell didn't you tell me?

I didn't tell anyone.

If he'd revealed his story,
Rohan would have been exonerated

and the trial called off.

This way, we have
the whole world watching.

I will not say a word that damages
the reputation of Jeanne de Valois.

It's time we moved you
to the Bastille.

There's something you need
to see with your own eyes.

You look good...

..for a corpse.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

Thank God we can rely on Parliament
to vote in our favour.

I'm not so sure.

Excuse me?

Parliament have heard
that I'm extending the taxes

to the clergy and the nobles.

Some parliamentarians...

..suspect that I am mismanaging
the finances.

And are you?

We are in a bit of debt.

So you...

You're thinking that
some parliamentarians

might use the trial to punish you?

Maybe.

Yes.

Yes, and we need to be prepared.

Mm-hm.

They might defy me
and vote Rohan innocent.

I'm sorry. I...

I should have told you.
I wanted to protect you.

I wanted you...to keep you
away from the politics.

Louis, please, you...

You didn't want to protect me.

You thought I wasn't
capable enough to know.

SHE SIGHS

Parliament cannot vote
against us in the trial.

It will tell the country
that I've lost control.

Well, then, this trial
is not about a necklace.

It's a referendum on our reign.

GALLERY GASPS, MURMURS

That's the whore
from the Palais Royal.

She cannot appear in court.
That's what you...

I don't know how they found her.

I told you my men
would find her in the end.

I'm sorry, Your Majesty.
I failed you.

I'm sorry.

What is your name?

Mademoiselle Nicole d'Oliva.

I asked for the truth.

I suppose I must hear it.

Mademoiselle, have you ever met
the accused, Cardinal Rohan?

Yes.

Someone paid me
to impersonate the Queen

and meet him in the Garden of Venus.

Who paid you?

I don't know.
He never said his name.

He just told me he wanted to play a
practical joke on the Cardinal.

Is it plausible that the Cardinal
would mistake you for the Queen?

I've had a lot of
practice playing her.

I used to do it nightly
onstage at the Palais Royal,

and in gentlemen's beds
after the shows.

MURMURING AND LAUGHTER

at the things
they want the Queen to do.

Dirty things.

to see you, Villette.

They told me you were dead.

That makes two of us,
then, doesn't it?

After Nicholas stabbed me,
I was unconscious.

When I came around,
you and him were gone.

He betrayed us both.

Look. I've made a deal and told them
that Rohan orchestrated everything.

All you need to do is tell the same
story, and we're free.

You tell the truth,
and we both go down,

and none of those fine
people will save us.

You want to save your own neck,

Please sit down.

Would you please identify yourself?

Um...

My name is Retaux de Villette.

I forged letters and...

..dressed as the Queen's guard
to steal the necklace.

It's in her handwriting.

Well, today proved
Rohan's innocence.

Even parliamentarians loyal

will find it hard to convict him.

Don't give up.

We are working behind the
scenes to secure their votes.

Many are still loyal.

I'm going to lose all my authority.

We can't prove Rohan is
guilty of stealing the necklace,

but we can propose a new charge.

He stood up in Parliament

and accused me of theft.

Are you suggesting we charge Rohan
with damaging your good name?

Yeah.

Exactly.

That's a capital crime.

You risk making Rohan a martyr.

No.

No.

We charge them all.

This trial has been a circus.

The whole world is watching.

You really want to risk
ending it in public execution?

Better than losing the country.

CLAMOUR

GAVEL BANGS

Messieurs, silence, please.

Monsieur Target.

The evidence shows that the final
defendant was wrongfully arrested

for the theft
of the diamond necklace,

but he has a right
to be heard in this court.

I call the Count Cagliostro.

That's...

You may speak.

..Cagliostro?

I had nothing to do
with the theft of this necklace.

I'm on trial
because of my reputation alone.

I've been mistreated,
I have been mocked

simply because I seek knowledge.

He was at Versailles. I saw him.

The fact is,
I'm merely a man of the age.

I explore...

..what you consider occult.

And I try to heal people,

even the highest in the land.

Even those who have no hope.

Was he attending Dauphin?

Of course not.

Was he attending the Dauphin?

No.

Call my carriage. I have somewhere
else I need to be.

Your Majesty.

Now, the evidence proves that Jeanne
La Motte and Retaux de Villette,

with the unwitting assistance
of Mademoiselle Nicole d'Oliva,

are guilty of stealing
the diamond necklace.

Cardinal Rohan and the charlatan,
Count Cagliostro, are innocent.

MURMURING

There's been a development.

The Crown asks the Parliament
to consider a second,

even more serious charge against
the defendants.

Did their actions
tarnish the Queen's name?

GALLERY GASPS

Let me see that. They knew we had
them beaten on the theft charge.

Yeah, but why would
the Queen risk this?

Proceed, Monsieur Target.

Sir, I need time to
consider these new accusations.

There is none.

Speak now.

In your opinion, did the actions of
Cardinal Rohan

and the other defendants damage
the Queen's good reputation?

Well, this case has depicted
the Queen as an extravagant

and duplicitous adulteress.

But are these accusations new?

Is the Queen not famous
for her profligate spending?

Since she arrived in France,
she's squandered our resources.

She's made purchases
behind her husband's back.

It's also common knowledge
that she has lovers,

that she carries on
intimate correspondences

and then has scandalous
sexual liaisons.

The defendants' actions did nothing
to damage the Queen's reputation.

By her own hand, she has long
since destroyed her good name.

Should these people hang
for the sins of the Queen?

This is what you've
been asked to decide.

I tell you they should not.

The fault isn't here.

It's in Versailles.

SCATTERED APPLAUSE

INDISTINCT CHATTER

Excuse me for a moment.

CLINKING

For a job well done.

Damn Louis and this second charge.

The Crown can't lose twice.

What do I do?

Just like you said, the whole point
is to damage her.

Parliament is split.

My friends and I are willing
to vote against the King,

but there are concerns.

Defeat will deal a serious
blow to the monarchy.

And the last thing we want
is to empower Orleans

and his populist rabble.

We want a king we can work with,

but we'll not risk
losing our monarchy entirely.

France cannot follow America
into anarchy.

If we defeat Louis
and he can't recover,

are you willing to step
into his shoes?

You must make a decision.

On the first count,
stealing the diamond necklace,

Cardinal Louis-Rene-Edouard

and the Count Cagliostro...

..not guilty.

It's what the people
see that matters.

And they see me as the future.

Hmm.

It's a shame the people have no say
in who rules them.

Not yet.

May the best man win.

Quite a fire you started.

You're staying?

I thought it politic to go before
the King's guards kick me out.

Thank you for my freedom.

You once asked me about the...

..secret that unites my brotherhood.

The truth is there's no secret,

only the understanding
that true enlightenment,

true change comes
from men working together.

Men, not women.

No, I personally don't agree,
but most of them

still see no place
for you at the table.

Then we will make them see it.

I don't care about the verdict.

I don't care if he is praised
throughout all of France.

Rohan is banished.

Sire, this loss proves that we can't
rely on the Paris Parliament

to approve the land tax
or any further loans.

Forget the Parliament.

There's another decision-making body
you can appeal to.

We think you should call
an Assembly of Notables

to help pass the reforms.

Not now, madame, please.

Leave us.

Majesty...
Both of you.

I banished Rohan.
How much time does he have?

How much time?

No more than two years.

How long have you known?

I...

I, um...

I-I?!

I couldn't...

I couldn't bear...bear to tell you.

You lied to me.

You did. You told me he'd recover.

How... How could you do that?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
I couldn't bear to...

You've stolen time from me.

You stole time from me...
I wanted to protect you.

So much time.

How could you do that?!

I-I wanted to protect you.
I was trying to...

You can't! You can't protect me!

You can't protect me! Please!
You can't!

You can't!
SHE SOBS

Not from this.

Not from anything.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Please. Please.

How will we survive this?
