00:00:20,812 --> 00:00:26,025
DESIREE

3
00:02:00,807 --> 00:02:02,320
Well, here you are finally.

4
00:02:02,917 --> 00:02:04,059
Thanks Heaven.

5
00:02:04,563 --> 00:02:06,349
Desiree, you realize how late you are
Where were you?

6
00:02:07,082 --> 00:02:07,409
I'll catch up.

7
00:02:07,409 --> 00:02:09,106
Your brother and sister and I
were concern about you.

8
00:02:09,678 --> 00:02:10,407
I went for a walk.

9
00:02:10,676 --> 00:02:11,665
A walk?

10
00:02:11,665 --> 00:02:11,971
In the park.

11
00:02:12,797 --> 00:02:14,286
Are you trying to say that you
went for a walk through the park?

12
00:02:15,199 --> 00:02:17,058
Desiree don't crumble your bread

13
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:18,955
A walk in the park at this hour?
That's foolish.

14
00:02:19,736 --> 00:02:21,527
Anything could happen to a young girl alone.

15
00:02:21,527 --> 00:02:23,178
I wasn't alone, I was with a young man.

16
00:02:26,072 --> 00:02:26,854
Yes, a young man.

17
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,270
He came into our shop at closing time,
he want to look at some silk.

18
00:02:30,795 --> 00:02:32,925
You walked about the town
with a complete stranger?

19
00:02:33,381 --> 00:02:35,866
He's not a complete stranger,
he introduce himself.

20
00:02:37,523 --> 00:02:40,102
Finish your soup Desiree,
is cold enough already.

21
00:02:40,388 --> 00:02:41,395
That's scandalous!

22
00:02:42,209 --> 00:02:45,190
I still have my virtue,
Julie, honestly.

23
00:02:45,677 --> 00:02:46,475
You are impossible.

24
00:02:46,860 --> 00:02:47,840
He did hold my elbow.

25
00:02:48,325 --> 00:02:51,531
Who tell her about these things? Marie?

26
00:02:51,894 --> 00:02:54,409
It's improper, you are no longer a child.

27
00:02:54,668 --> 00:02:57,323
That's the first time in
this house that anyone...

28
00:02:57,759 --> 00:02:59,342
Has admitted I'm not a child.

29
00:02:59,694 --> 00:03:01,759
I did it for you.

30
00:03:02,152 --> 00:03:02,986
For me?

31
00:03:03,405 --> 00:03:04,524
I told him all about you.

32
00:03:05,099 --> 00:03:06,628
How beautiful you are, how bright...

33
00:03:07,817 --> 00:03:08,870
It was only a half-lie.

34
00:03:10,076 --> 00:03:11,179
Julie should met some men.

35
00:03:13,695 --> 00:03:16,087
It would be easier for us if she had a husband.

36
00:03:16,368 --> 00:03:17,895
Marie, please kindly clear the table.

37
00:03:18,875 --> 00:03:20,128
He's from Corsica, a refugee.

38
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:23,065
Refugee indeed, adventurer more likely.

39
00:03:23,617 --> 00:03:25,509
Is very dangerous in this time to assume...

40
00:03:25,766 --> 00:03:28,502
Ettiene it has been five
years since the revolution

41
00:03:28,772 --> 00:03:30,498
We don't know what this young man's about.

42
00:03:30,742 --> 00:03:32,487
I told you he was about some silk.

43
00:03:34,373 --> 00:03:36,765
Anyway, I've invite him to visit us tomorrow.

44
00:03:37,437 --> 00:03:39,120
To visit us?

45
00:03:39,347 --> 00:03:41,123
He has a brother he told me all about.

46
00:03:41,592 --> 00:03:43,511
This is disgraceful.

47
00:03:43,772 --> 00:03:45,419
They live in Marsseille, the brother is visiting.

48
00:03:45,419 --> 00:03:47,236
You will have to cancel that invitation.

49
00:03:47,236 --> 00:03:48,418
But his brother is a general.

50
00:03:48,786 --> 00:03:50,722
Even general are suspect in these days.

51
00:03:51,121 --> 00:03:53,181
But I've never seen a real general close-up.

52
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:55,617
Some times...
Yes?

53
00:03:55,863 --> 00:03:56,960
Some times...?

54
00:03:58,285 --> 00:03:59,936
Some times my family make me sick.

55
00:04:23,485 --> 00:04:24,352
I'm sorry..

56
00:04:26,382 --> 00:04:28,020
I didn't mean it, I love my family.

57
00:04:29,743 --> 00:04:30,785
I love you all.

58
00:04:31,305 --> 00:04:32,891
Desiree you have to accept one fact...

59
00:04:33,599 --> 00:04:35,652
Since Papa die I'm the
head of the family and I...

60
00:04:37,879 --> 00:04:40,027
Is really not enough
time to cancel the invitation.

61
00:04:40,657 --> 00:04:43,635
Is he handsome, the one for me?

62
00:04:44,610 --> 00:04:46,285
Oh, very handsome by daylight.

63
00:04:46,651 --> 00:04:47,963
But I haven't seen him by moonlight.

64
00:04:48,188 --> 00:04:49,535
Do these adventurers have a name?

65
00:04:50,381 --> 00:04:52,851
Bonapat or Buonaparte something like that.

66
00:04:53,438 --> 00:04:55,117
Bonaparte what an impossible name...

67
00:04:56,999 --> 00:04:57,639
Madame

68
00:04:57,639 --> 00:04:58,581
Good Evening.

69
00:04:59,488 --> 00:05:01,410
Bonaparte, Joseph Bonaparte.

70
00:05:01,889 --> 00:05:04,142
We were very happy you could accept
my sister's invitation.

71
00:05:04,458 --> 00:05:05,429
Thank you, sir.

72
00:05:05,964 --> 00:05:07,154
My brother Napoleon.

73
00:05:08,069 --> 00:05:09,932
We are also glad that you could come
citizen general.

74
00:05:10,835 --> 00:05:13,172
It was not difficult, I had not where to go.

75
00:05:15,711 --> 00:05:19,357
My brother means that no one else
had been kind enough to invite us.

76
00:05:19,357 --> 00:05:22,689
What I mean is...that after hearing Joseph
tell of your charming daughters

77
00:05:22,933 --> 00:05:24,955
I could have gone
nowhere else Madame Clary.

78
00:05:26,876 --> 00:05:30,210
Yes, shall we be...uh, seated?

79
00:05:30,497 --> 00:05:31,267
Thank you

80
00:05:31,918 --> 00:05:33,089
Citizen General.

81
00:05:33,721 --> 00:05:34,616
Thank You.

82
00:05:39,085 --> 00:05:40,281
We shall have some wine presently

83
00:05:44,374 --> 00:05:46,297
Well, you have a lovely garden.

84
00:05:47,611 --> 00:05:49,954
Its early yet, when the lilacs are out...

85
00:05:50,219 --> 00:05:52,380
and the climbing roses,
round the summerhouse

86
00:05:54,428 --> 00:05:56,837
that is...the roses are out but in
the autumn the lilacs...

87
00:06:02,251 --> 00:06:03,747
Your brother is too young to be a general.

88
00:06:05,260 --> 00:06:07,487
Not necessarily madam.

89
00:06:08,451 --> 00:06:09,894
Lafayette was a general at 20.

90
00:06:11,130 --> 00:06:12,627
Has your brother be a general long.

91
00:06:14,287 --> 00:06:16,490
Since last year when
he command the troops...

92
00:06:16,490 --> 00:06:18,158
and drove the English out of Toulon.

93
00:06:20,792 --> 00:06:23,560
Toulon… mademoiselle
I'm sure you've heard of it.

94
00:06:26,670 --> 00:06:28,486
Sometimes my ignorance is beyond belief...

95
00:06:29,372 --> 00:06:31,171
Would it be indiscreet citizen general...

96
00:06:31,432 --> 00:06:33,890
to inquire whether or not you are in our
city on official business?

97
00:06:34,621 --> 00:06:36,278
I have no command at present...

98
00:06:38,330 --> 00:06:40,856
But I shortly expect to be in charge
of the Italian campaign.

99
00:06:41,454 --> 00:06:43,311
Italian? But we are not in war with Italy.

100
00:06:43,797 --> 00:06:47,035
Its my own personal idea I've
told Robespierre about it...

101
00:06:47,492 --> 00:06:51,652
Is it true that Robespierre closed all
the House of Pleasure in Paris?

102
00:06:52,049 --> 00:06:53,229
Desiree!

103
00:06:54,696 --> 00:06:56,888
Please forgive my sister, sometimes...

104
00:06:57,446 --> 00:06:58,800
Your sister has the happy faculty...

105
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,196
of saying the first thing that
comes into her mind.

106
00:07:02,979 --> 00:07:05,336
She is without guile, a quality
almost unbelievable in a woman.

107
00:07:08,594 --> 00:07:10,121
Desiree doesn't drink wine yet.

108
00:07:11,143 --> 00:07:13,422
Why not? Wine is healthful, strengthening.

109
00:07:13,901 --> 00:07:14,662
Please.

110
00:07:15,115 --> 00:07:16,646
Young girls don't need strengthening.

111
00:07:17,379 --> 00:07:19,671
If you will permit
me one slight contradiction, madame.

112
00:07:19,993 --> 00:07:20,856
They often do.

113
00:07:22,953 --> 00:07:25,555
Yes, citizen Clary, we must press on
to offensive war in Italy

114
00:07:26,261 --> 00:07:27,151
Offensive war?

115
00:07:28,388 --> 00:07:31,380
It is our sacred duty to instil
into all European people

116
00:07:32,015 --> 00:07:34,371
our great ideas of liberty,
equality and fraternity.

117
00:07:35,369 --> 00:07:37,074
and, if necessary,
with the help of the cannon.

118
00:07:41,757 --> 00:07:45,423
And now which one of you two ladys will
be kind enough to show me your garden.

119
00:08:06,762 --> 00:08:08,064
You were staring at me in the parlor.

120
00:08:08,403 --> 00:08:09,377
What were you staring at?

121
00:08:10,473 --> 00:08:11,305
Your uniform.

122
00:08:13,087 --> 00:08:14,551
I didn't think a general could be so shabby.

123
00:08:15,060 --> 00:08:16,748
You must be very... poor.

124
00:08:19,178 --> 00:08:20,179
I am Desiree.

125
00:08:22,425 --> 00:08:24,928
Tell me when do you think my brother
and your sister will be married.?

126
00:08:25,384 --> 00:08:27,052
Married?

127
00:08:27,486 --> 00:08:28,951
Yes. They're made for each other.

128
00:08:29,441 --> 00:08:31,002
I spoke to Joseph about it last night.

129
00:08:31,326 --> 00:08:32,786
But last night they hadn't even met.

130
00:08:33,309 --> 00:08:34,883
Last night you and I hadn't even met.

131
00:08:35,633 --> 00:08:37,943
And here we are
arm in arm in a magic garden.

132
00:08:38,624 --> 00:08:40,056
Flowers blooming music playing...

133
00:08:40,413 --> 00:08:41,870
We must hurry or we lose them.

134
00:08:42,191 --> 00:08:43,115
Exactly.

135
00:08:44,026 --> 00:08:45,657
Confess you must thought yesterday when

136
00:08:45,921 --> 00:08:48,373
you invited Joseph that it would be a
good idea for your sister to marry him.

137
00:08:48,842 --> 00:08:50,651
I thought nothing of the sort.

138
00:08:51,150 --> 00:08:55,120
You mustn't never pretend with me Desiree.

139
00:09:02,186 --> 00:09:05,122
Wait, we better give them
a chance to get better acquainted...

140
00:09:05,550 --> 00:09:06,655
before they betrothe.

141
00:09:11,567 --> 00:09:13,760
I should like to know why you are so
concern about this marriage.

142
00:09:14,269 --> 00:09:15,421
Shh, I tell you.

143
00:09:15,907 --> 00:09:17,424
Your family obviously very well-to-do...

144
00:09:17,875 --> 00:09:20,656
I'm sure that your father left a
considerable dowry for you and your sister.

145
00:09:22,107 --> 00:09:25,051
Do you mean your brother would
want to marry Julie only for her dowry.?

146
00:09:26,872 --> 00:09:28,891
How can you say that? She's a lovely girl.

147
00:09:30,126 --> 00:09:31,864
She's in anyway almost as lovely as yourself.

148
00:09:33,604 --> 00:09:35,263
I'm sure that Joseph find her delightful.

149
00:09:36,126 --> 00:09:38,291
And they will be very happy together.

150
00:09:40,001 --> 00:09:41,727
I'm going to tell Julie every word you've said.

151
00:09:42,651 --> 00:09:45,206
Exactly, that's why
I'm explaining it to you so carefully.

152
00:09:46,326 --> 00:09:48,895
You see I want my family to be well settled,
Joshep will be the first.

153
00:09:49,515 --> 00:09:51,872
The other will have to
wait till I have my attempt victories.

154
00:09:52,448 --> 00:09:54,316
And you think you can
make people do as you wish

155
00:09:54,882 --> 00:09:56,508
The life will come out just as you plan it?

156
00:09:58,557 --> 00:10:01,843
Have you ever heard of destiny, Desiree?

157
00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:06,975
Desiree, desired one.

158
00:10:10,077 --> 00:10:11,625
It's a beautiful name it becomes you.

159
00:10:13,346 --> 00:10:15,397
I will probably kiss you before very long.

160
00:10:17,523 --> 00:10:18,945
And not for your dowry.

161
00:10:25,026 --> 00:10:27,307
They play the Marseillaise every night.

162
00:10:28,561 --> 00:10:29,711
In the park.

163
00:10:30,408 --> 00:10:32,033
It's always the last number.

164
00:10:36,902 --> 00:10:38,833
Today that song
its played throughout France.

165
00:10:40,037 --> 00:10:42,364
Tomorrow it will be played throughout Europe.

166
00:10:44,611 --> 00:10:47,062
A ragged army marching on wooden shoes.

167
00:10:49,958 --> 00:10:52,072
And you don't believe in destiny.

168
00:10:54,177 --> 00:10:55,815
No one knows what's ahead.

169
00:10:58,417 --> 00:11:00,032
Strange most people say that.

170
00:11:02,374 --> 00:11:03,580
I know what's ahead.

171
00:11:05,249 --> 00:11:07,071
I one of the men that makes history.

172
00:11:08,398 --> 00:11:10,443
You laugh?

173
00:11:12,896 --> 00:11:15,693
Well, I'm afraid I always try to laugh.

174
00:11:37,554 --> 00:11:38,694
You lied.

175
00:11:39,919 --> 00:11:41,522
Wine is not strengthening.

176
00:11:50,372 --> 00:11:53,124
I wish...the night

177
00:11:54,308 --> 00:11:56,097
Could have gone...on...

178
00:11:57,073 --> 00:11:58,766
and on and on.

179
00:12:05,142 --> 00:12:06,185
What are you doing?

180
00:12:07,063 --> 00:12:08,950
I'm starting the diary Papa gave me.

181
00:12:09,501 --> 00:12:11,020
Finally, I have something to write in it.

182
00:12:13,276 --> 00:12:14,175
Did he kiss you?

183
00:12:14,674 --> 00:12:15,554
Julie!

184
00:12:16,594 --> 00:12:17,635
Did yours kiss you?

185
00:12:18,090 --> 00:12:21,506
Please...a girl allows herself
to be kissed only...

186
00:12:22,762 --> 00:12:23,867
Well she allows...

187
00:12:24,208 --> 00:12:27,654
Oh, you're still too young,
to understand these things.

188
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:31,093
How...

189
00:12:31,657 --> 00:12:32,849
can...

190
00:12:33,857 --> 00:12:35,105
it...

191
00:12:37,154 --> 00:12:38,559
happens so quickly?

192
00:12:44,984 --> 00:12:46,250
Are you having a daydream up there?

193
00:12:47,209 --> 00:12:52,704
What are you thinking about?

194
00:12:53,377 --> 00:12:55,114
I was thinking that life is very simple.

195
00:12:59,017 --> 00:13:01,035
Life is never simple, but I agreed being in love...

196
00:13:01,293 --> 00:13:02,745
helps to make it less complicated.

197
00:13:09,039 --> 00:13:10,340
This is an attractive piece.

198
00:13:10,915 --> 00:13:13,031
Oh, it's too brittle. This piece is better.

199
00:13:13,709 --> 00:13:16,065
See those gold threads? That gives it vitality

200
00:13:16,816 --> 00:13:18,003
You're a born silk merchant's daughter

201
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,351
Papa always said is in my blood.

202
00:13:22,799 --> 00:13:24,489
This is for Julie wedding gown.

203
00:13:24,703 --> 00:13:27,582
Quite unfashionable, we've sold
none since the revolution.

204
00:13:27,873 --> 00:13:29,635
But the ladies in Paris are no longer ladies.

205
00:13:29,907 --> 00:13:33,607
Today everything they were is transparent.

206
00:13:33,990 --> 00:13:35,311
Oh, Surely, not everything.

207
00:13:39,179 --> 00:13:40,483
General Napoleon Bonaparte?

208
00:13:41,146 --> 00:13:42,090
Yes?

209
00:13:42,938 --> 00:13:44,288
We went first to your barracks, sir.

210
00:13:44,513 --> 00:13:45,622
They told me we could find you here.

211
00:13:47,750 --> 00:13:48,400
Well, what is it?

212
00:13:49,084 --> 00:13:51,885
Warrent for the arrest of
Citizen General Bonaparte.

213
00:13:53,497 --> 00:13:54,607
Napoleon.

214
00:14:00,199 --> 00:14:02,087
Was this issued with the
knolewdge of citizen Robespierre?

215
00:14:03,584 --> 00:14:07,043
I regret to inform you that citizen Robespierre
was guillotined in Paris three days ago.

216
00:14:22,512 --> 00:14:23,919
I must go with them, please inform my family.

217
00:14:24,513 --> 00:14:25,508
I don't know where they live?

218
00:14:25,780 --> 00:14:26,875
17 Rue Pavillon.

219
00:14:27,725 --> 00:14:31,734
Even on a summer day a sergeant’s uniform
should be fastened properly.

220
00:14:32,841 --> 00:14:34,267
Where will they take you?

221
00:14:34,488 --> 00:14:35,508
I don't know. It doesn't matter.

222
00:14:35,508 --> 00:14:36,721
Wait for me, I'll be back.

223
00:14:47,008 --> 00:14:48,960
What have I said from the start.: adventurer.

224
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,693
Well, this will be the end of him.

225
00:15:33,635 --> 00:15:34,612
Napoleone.

226
00:15:39,891 --> 00:15:41,505
I've just been release, I can't stay here.

227
00:15:42,742 --> 00:15:43,729
You must be cold.

228
00:15:43,957 --> 00:15:44,694
Only my feet.

229
00:15:44,998 --> 00:15:46,660
Come and sit down
I have many things to tell you.

230
00:15:47,147 --> 00:15:48,013
Was it bad?

231
00:15:48,316 --> 00:15:51,342
No, specially when
one consider the little packages

232
00:15:52,679 --> 00:15:53,738
I hopo you got them

233
00:15:54,031 --> 00:15:56,825
I did. The books, the wine, the cake...

234
00:15:58,816 --> 00:16:00,290
And the underdrawers.

235
00:16:01,367 --> 00:16:02,491
Were they the right size?

236
00:16:03,269 --> 00:16:04,127
Almost.

237
00:16:05,061 --> 00:16:05,852
What happened?

238
00:16:07,203 --> 00:16:09,074
They charge me
with plotting against the government.

239
00:16:09,594 --> 00:16:11,046
But the men in the
Ministry of Defense are gentlemen...

240
00:16:11,405 --> 00:16:12,846
and when they found they had no evidence...

241
00:16:13,091 --> 00:16:14,645
they ordered me to duty.

242
00:16:15,896 --> 00:16:16,977
I'm so glad you're free.

243
00:16:17,388 --> 00:16:18,929
I am to report at once to special mission,

244
00:16:19,181 --> 00:16:20,785
for tracking down hidden royalists.

245
00:16:22,722 --> 00:16:23,767
Would it be dangerous?

246
00:16:24,547 --> 00:16:26,250
I'm an artillery expert not a policeman.

247
00:16:27,714 --> 00:16:30,156
It'll keep me away
from the front, let me be forgotten.

248
00:16:31,326 --> 00:16:33,318
You could ask for a discharge.

249
00:16:33,829 --> 00:16:35,447
You might joint Etienne in the firm.

250
00:16:38,416 --> 00:16:39,641
Are you mad?

251
00:16:40,370 --> 00:16:42,256
Do you realise that
I'm the best general in France..

252
00:16:42,256 --> 00:16:45,030
do you really believe I'd work in a silk shop?

253
00:16:45,300 --> 00:16:46,388
I didn't mean any offense.

254
00:16:47,046 --> 00:16:48,133
Is anyone there?

255
00:16:48,501 --> 00:16:49,609
Come into the house.

256
00:16:50,258 --> 00:16:51,286
Who is there? Who is it?

257
00:16:51,286 --> 00:16:52,991
It's me, General Bonaparte.

258
00:16:53,236 --> 00:16:54,634
It can not be you, you're in prison.

259
00:16:54,974 --> 00:16:55,779
You'll get wet.

260
00:16:55,779 --> 00:16:58,251
Anyway, what are you doing here in the
middle of the night in this weather?

261
00:16:58,653 --> 00:16:59,259
Napoleon!

262
00:16:59,259 --> 00:17:00,495
Be still!

263
00:17:00,736 --> 00:17:01,711
With whom are you talking?

264
00:17:04,139 --> 00:17:05,191
He's talking to me.

265
00:17:07,196 --> 00:17:08,870
General you owe me an explanation.

266
00:17:09,177 --> 00:17:10,190
I'll give you an explanation.

267
00:17:11,311 --> 00:17:14,320
I have the honor to request your
sister's hand in marriage.

268
00:17:15,106 --> 00:17:17,521
No! With all my strenght.. No!

269
00:17:17,963 --> 00:17:20,241
One Buonaparte is quite enough in a family.

270
00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:21,331
Loon!

271
00:17:23,328 --> 00:17:24,962
Desiree come inside at once!

272
00:17:26,451 --> 00:17:28,453
Did you mean that, or were you angry?

273
00:17:29,123 --> 00:17:30,299
About my hand?

274
00:17:30,588 --> 00:17:32,488
How could one help being angry? Your
brother shout at me like a loon...

275
00:17:33,024 --> 00:17:34,666
and you ask me to become a ribbon peddle.

276
00:17:36,165 --> 00:17:37,095
Obviously I meant it.

277
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,302
I came here directly from prison with the
express purpose to ask you to marry me.

278
00:17:45,521 --> 00:17:46,313
Will you marry me?

279
00:17:46,543 --> 00:17:47,973
Yes, Oh, yes.

280
00:17:49,939 --> 00:17:50,855
You'd better go in

281
00:17:51,291 --> 00:17:52,548
No, it's lovely out here.

282
00:17:54,187 --> 00:17:55,845
I must go now, say good bye to my family.

283
00:17:56,094 --> 00:17:57,377
I'm leaving for Paris in the morning.

284
00:17:57,730 --> 00:17:58,436
For Paris.

285
00:17:58,774 --> 00:18:00,433
Yes, I must speak
with a gentleman in the Ministry.

286
00:18:00,922 --> 00:18:03,250
But you can't, if you go to Paris
you'll be disobeying your orders.

287
00:18:03,575 --> 00:18:04,519
And perhaps I'll be shot.

288
00:18:05,722 --> 00:18:07,026
Can you loan me some money?

289
00:18:07,348 --> 00:18:09,420
Well, I only have 98 francs in my drawer.

290
00:18:09,703 --> 00:18:12,329
98 francs will do, throw
them down when you get upstairs.

291
00:18:14,424 --> 00:18:15,707
I'll go to Paris and convince them.

292
00:18:15,707 --> 00:18:17,186
And when I come back we'll be married

293
00:18:18,195 --> 00:18:20,927
Please remember that I love you.

294
00:18:38,092 --> 00:18:40,257
Oh, Paulette, have you ever seen such silk?

295
00:18:43,478 --> 00:18:44,455
Oh!

296
00:18:44,845 --> 00:18:47,933
Isn't this a loving piece of material.

297
00:18:48,780 --> 00:18:51,058
This'll make a beautiful gown,
don't you think?.

298
00:18:51,329 --> 00:18:55,134
I told you a hundred times before
you're not to handle our silk by any of you.

299
00:18:55,818 --> 00:18:57,921
Just because your
brother Joseph married my sister

300
00:18:58,131 --> 00:19:00,943
is not reason why should I have to put up
with the entire Buonaparte family.

301
00:19:01,340 --> 00:19:03,389
Oh, it's not Bounaparte any longer.

302
00:19:03,389 --> 00:19:07,400
Yes, yes, I know he changed it,
its Napoleon Bonaparte.

303
00:19:07,661 --> 00:19:09,189
But it is easier to pronounce.

304
00:19:09,417 --> 00:19:10,913
Frankly I wish I'd never heard it.

305
00:19:13,537 --> 00:19:16,837
The next time you write your brother
tell him Desiree won't wait forever.

306
00:19:17,939 --> 00:19:19,307
She hasn't heard from him in months.

307
00:19:19,698 --> 00:19:21,781
That's because he's having
such a wonderful time in Paris.

308
00:19:22,494 --> 00:19:25,100
You know he hobnot
with all the diplomats and politicians.

309
00:19:25,522 --> 00:19:27,212
And he spent must of his time in salons.

310
00:19:27,447 --> 00:19:30,239
All famous people gather there.

311
00:19:31,367 --> 00:19:33,123
And drink champagne all day long.

312
00:19:33,447 --> 00:19:36,875
A man who spend his time that way

313
00:19:37,290 --> 00:19:39,216
Doesn't deserve to marry a girl like Desiree.

314
00:19:39,630 --> 00:19:40,502
Ouch!!

315
00:19:43,597 --> 00:19:44,783
Desiree where are you going?

316
00:19:45,063 --> 00:19:45,976
To Paris.

317
00:19:49,094 --> 00:19:50,040
Desiree!

318
00:20:05,363 --> 00:20:06,104
Who is she?

319
00:20:06,414 --> 00:20:07,556
De Beauharnais!

320
00:20:08,322 --> 00:20:09,170
Josephine.

321
00:20:09,392 --> 00:20:10,242
Josephine?

322
00:20:10,242 --> 00:20:11,137
Yes.

323
00:20:31,115 --> 00:20:32,332
What do you wish, Mademoiselle?

324
00:20:32,831 --> 00:20:33,920
I wish to go in.

325
00:20:34,326 --> 00:20:35,141
Do you have an invitation?

326
00:20:35,406 --> 00:20:37,679
No, but I believe I know someone
who's probable in there.

327
00:20:37,906 --> 00:20:39,193
Are you a friend of Madame Talienne?

328
00:20:39,193 --> 00:20:40,380
No.

329
00:20:40,675 --> 00:20:43,049
Well, if you have no escort,
I can not allow you to enter.

330
00:20:44,185 --> 00:20:44,909
But, I must go in.

331
00:20:44,909 --> 00:20:48,364
But I've told you, you can't enter
unless you are a personal friend

332
00:20:48,364 --> 00:20:49,393
or are with a gentleman...

333
00:20:49,990 --> 00:20:51,951
Ladies like you must
keep to the Rue St. Honore.

334
00:20:52,335 --> 00:20:53,407
Now, if you don't mind...

335
00:20:56,436 --> 00:20:57,283
Oh!

336
00:20:58,145 --> 00:20:59,021
I'm very sorry citizeness.

337
00:20:59,413 --> 00:21:00,408
It was really my fault.

338
00:21:03,631 --> 00:21:04,672
Oh, I beg your pardon.

339
00:21:04,890 --> 00:21:06,821
I should like to belong to you...

340
00:21:08,999 --> 00:21:10,656
This is hardly the time or the place.

341
00:21:10,921 --> 00:21:13,832
No, I mean for a few mementos only...
until we get inside.

342
00:21:14,756 --> 00:21:16,471
You see I must go in, but I have no escort.

343
00:21:20,376 --> 00:21:22,110
Please forgive me, I shouldn't have bother

344
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,355
No bother.

345
00:21:37,811 --> 00:21:39,158
Whom shall I announce General?

346
00:21:39,564 --> 00:21:40,640
Your name citizeness?

347
00:21:40,915 --> 00:21:41,664
Desiree.

348
00:21:42,343 --> 00:21:43,049
And the rest of it?

349
00:21:48,170 --> 00:21:51,063
General Jean-Baptiste Bernardotte.

350
00:21:51,312 --> 00:21:53,832
And citizeness Desiree...

351
00:22:01,394 --> 00:22:02,270
You found him yet?

352
00:22:03,328 --> 00:22:05,379
No...How do you know?

353
00:22:06,321 --> 00:22:07,497
What a surprise!

354
00:22:07,801 --> 00:22:10,247
What a pleasant surprise,
General Bernardotte!

355
00:22:10,485 --> 00:22:12,003
I've just return from the front,
Madame Talienne.

356
00:22:12,211 --> 00:22:14,619
As always, my first pleasure is
to joint your magic circle.

357
00:22:14,843 --> 00:22:19,455
Returning from the front, it's flattering,
but I see you've found a companion in Paris.

358
00:22:19,821 --> 00:22:20,962
Yes, by a happy chance.

359
00:22:21,416 --> 00:22:24,637
The moment the citezeness and I saw
one another, we fell into each other's arms.

360
00:22:25,092 --> 00:22:27,891
Well, old friend or not my dear you'll
going to have to share him with us.

361
00:22:28,445 --> 00:22:30,560
I want to show you
the most fantastic woman.

362
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,114
He was a waiter my dear, a waiter.

363
00:22:43,351 --> 00:22:44,991
And now he's Madame Racomiert's lover.

364
00:22:44,991 --> 00:22:44,991
Oh, no!

365
00:22:49,070 --> 00:22:50,394
Oh, he's gone so low.

366
00:22:52,424 --> 00:22:54,407
My motto would be "Never be in a hurry".

367
00:22:54,781 --> 00:22:56,715
People will not stand for the bread
shortage much longer...

368
00:22:57,268 --> 00:22:59,287
After all, they did not win a revolution for that.

369
00:23:21,250 --> 00:23:22,579
Is he teaching you to
speak Corsican, Madame?

370
00:23:25,304 --> 00:23:27,937
It's impossible for you to understand
anything simple, Monsieur Talleyrand.

371
00:23:28,501 --> 00:23:30,179
I love Napoleon, and he loves me.

372
00:23:30,583 --> 00:23:32,795
Believe me its not y
our soul he loves nor your body...

373
00:23:33,367 --> 00:23:34,292
Its your influence.

374
00:23:34,782 --> 00:23:36,113
Oh, come now, you forget yourself.

375
00:23:36,541 --> 00:23:38,737
Yes, I guess so, but
I'm carried away by the truth.

376
00:23:39,907 --> 00:23:41,611
Perhaps you seeks glory, my darling.

377
00:23:42,637 --> 00:23:44,606
But we won't be grudge by that, won't we?

378
00:23:45,003 --> 00:23:46,936
The pursuit of glory
creates solely a great hero...

379
00:23:47,402 --> 00:23:49,288
contempt of it creates a great man.

380
00:23:50,869 --> 00:23:53,096
Perhaps the pursuit of an extraordinary
woman can creates both.

381
00:23:54,299 --> 00:23:56,369
You're becoming an expert at that.

382
00:23:59,198 --> 00:24:01,816
Yes, yes, well, everyone a toast, a toast...

383
00:24:02,181 --> 00:24:05,171
To General Bonaparte
and his beloved Josephine.

384
00:24:05,884 --> 00:24:08,191
May they be as happy
married as they are singles.

385
00:24:09,708 --> 00:24:11,301
Desiree!!

386
00:24:14,829 --> 00:24:16,746
Please remember that I love you...

387
00:24:17,706 --> 00:24:19,024
Mademoiselle...What is it?

388
00:25:31,690 --> 00:25:32,517
Let me go...

389
00:25:32,831 --> 00:25:33,622
Come, I'll take you home.

390
00:25:33,867 --> 00:25:34,792
No, leave me alone.

391
00:25:35,546 --> 00:25:36,452
Put me down!

392
00:25:45,986 --> 00:25:46,766
Drive along, anywhere.

393
00:25:47,024 --> 00:25:47,611
Yes, sir.

394
00:25:47,969 --> 00:25:48,965
Back to Madame Talienne's?

395
00:25:49,253 --> 00:25:49,779
No!

396
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:50,669
Anywhere.

397
00:26:07,878 --> 00:26:10,145
I disgrace you at Madame Talienne's.

398
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:12,748
I...I should apologize.

399
00:26:16,758 --> 00:26:17,671
I apologize.

400
00:26:20,533 --> 00:26:21,640
I'm not sorry for anything else,

401
00:26:22,963 --> 00:26:24,567
I threw champagne at her dress on purpose.

402
00:26:27,106 --> 00:26:28,363
Champagne leaves spots...

403
00:26:32,201 --> 00:26:33,763
She's far most beautiful than I...

404
00:26:34,609 --> 00:26:35,746
A lady of the world.

405
00:26:39,750 --> 00:26:43,504
I really must try not to cry so much.

406
00:26:50,467 --> 00:26:52,127
I'll get your coat wet,

407
00:26:52,968 --> 00:26:54,729
Don't worry tears don't leave spots.

408
00:27:03,757 --> 00:27:04,879
We were to have been married

409
00:27:06,144 --> 00:27:08,730
I believe in him as I never believe
in another human being.

410
00:27:10,180 --> 00:27:11,840
Now, without a word he just...

411
00:27:12,997 --> 00:27:14,514
Really it doesn't have
to be the end of everything.

412
00:27:14,798 --> 00:27:16,084
Oh, it does, it does.

413
00:27:17,583 --> 00:27:20,089
In the life of every
woman there is only one great love.

414
00:27:22,333 --> 00:27:23,277
How could you be that certain?

415
00:27:25,296 --> 00:27:28,371
It say so in all the novels, it must be true.

416
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,603
I really don't like
discussing another man's affairs.

417
00:27:33,883 --> 00:27:36,376
But there is something you should
know about General Bonaparte.

418
00:27:38,244 --> 00:27:40,467
Aside for his interest in
Josephine, he was engage for

419
00:27:40,955 --> 00:27:45,111
a long time with the daughter of a wealthy
silk merchant in Marseilles.

420
00:27:45,867 --> 00:27:47,233
His brother's married her sister.

421
00:27:48,829 --> 00:27:50,702
So, you see, he
wouldn't have married you in any case.

422
00:27:52,033 --> 00:27:55,974
He's choice is between a bumpkin with a large
dowry and a paramount with useful connections...

423
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,366
Unfortunately you have neither
dowry or useful connections.

424
00:28:01,515 --> 00:28:02,476
How do you know that?

425
00:28:04,345 --> 00:28:05,616
I can tell by looking at you.

426
00:28:06,721 --> 00:28:08,119
Perhaps that's why you are so attractive.

427
00:28:13,803 --> 00:28:15,035
13 Rue Tabac.

428
00:28:17,669 --> 00:28:19,300
Would you allow me
to call on you tomorrow?

429
00:28:20,828 --> 00:28:22,097
Aren't you in love with her?

430
00:28:23,104 --> 00:28:23,866
Good heavens, who?

431
00:28:24,095 --> 00:28:25,043
Madame Taliennes.

432
00:28:26,499 --> 00:28:28,242
No, I'm in love with you.

433
00:28:30,925 --> 00:28:32,897
Oh, I can't bear a General, none of you...

434
00:28:34,212 --> 00:28:35,706
Well there are Generals and Generals...

435
00:28:37,278 --> 00:28:39,026
Again, will you allow
me to call on you tomorrow?

436
00:28:39,287 --> 00:28:39,858
NO.

437
00:28:41,205 --> 00:28:42,115
Perhaps, I'm too old.

438
00:28:42,766 --> 00:28:44,950
I'm leaving Paris tomorrow for Mar...

439
00:28:45,254 --> 00:28:47,081
I'm leaving Paris tomorrow.

440
00:28:47,792 --> 00:28:49,145
And I'm never going to return.

441
00:28:51,422 --> 00:28:52,353
13 Rue Tabac.

442
00:29:07,251 --> 00:29:08,684
Good night and thank you.

443
00:29:14,064 --> 00:29:15,515
Truly many thanks.

444
00:29:18,195 --> 00:29:20,374
Don't worry, I'll go in and stay.

445
00:29:20,950 --> 00:29:21,806
It's not that, it just...

446
00:29:23,368 --> 00:29:24,343
What I said just now...

447
00:29:24,703 --> 00:29:26,055
I was teasing of course, in a way...

448
00:29:28,072 --> 00:29:29,680
But you are the very most attractive...

449
00:29:29,989 --> 00:29:31,393
Oh, it wouldn't do it, General, really not.

450
00:29:33,064 --> 00:29:34,873
It isn't that you are too old for me...

451
00:29:35,927 --> 00:29:37,508
but you can see for yourself.

452
00:29:38,351 --> 00:29:40,000
I'm much too short for you.

453
00:29:48,081 --> 00:29:50,207
December 15, 1797.

454
00:29:51,758 --> 00:29:56,412
I suppose by now the whole
world knows Napoleon Bonaparte.

455
00:29:57,333 --> 00:30:03,481
His face is everywhere, they call him the strong
man of France, ever since he conquered Italy.

456
00:30:04,476 --> 00:30:05,681
Just as he said he would.

457
00:30:07,027 --> 00:30:09,033
He certainly has taken care of his family.

458
00:30:10,052 --> 00:30:15,096
Who ever thought Joseph would be
Ambassador of the French Republic in Rome?

459
00:30:16,744 --> 00:30:19,475
Anyway, I'm glad Julie ask
me to come and stay with them.

460
00:30:20,290 --> 00:30:21,993
Marseilles has too many memories...

461
00:30:23,292 --> 00:30:24,206
and who knows?

462
00:30:24,512 --> 00:30:26,013
Diplomatic life may be interesting.

463
00:30:29,125 --> 00:30:32,777
Diplomatic life is dull, dull, dull...

464
00:30:34,181 --> 00:30:35,656
and this gloomy palace...

465
00:30:36,555 --> 00:30:38,766
these cold floors and high ceilings...

466
00:30:39,461 --> 00:30:41,461
and these awful statues...

467
00:30:42,138 --> 00:30:45,304
at any moment I expect them to turn into
fountains spouting water...

468
00:30:45,578 --> 00:30:47,302
from all sort of unlikely places.

469
00:30:48,059 --> 00:30:52,167
And it's always so drafty and...Ah-Choo!

470
00:30:53,472 --> 00:30:56,598
Oh, one thing is certain...I hate palaces.

471
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,495
You are glad you came to
Paris with us, don't you?

472
00:31:16,095 --> 00:31:16,570
Yes.

473
00:31:17,657 --> 00:31:19,671
You are quite sure you
want to come to his dinner party?

474
00:31:20,897 --> 00:31:21,526
Yes.

475
00:31:22,297 --> 00:31:23,967
We'll be close by, if...

476
00:31:24,505 --> 00:31:26,719
Well, now that he's married
to Josephine, of course...

477
00:31:29,953 --> 00:31:31,418
Do you feel anything for him anymore?

478
00:31:31,678 --> 00:31:32,133
No!

479
00:31:36,946 --> 00:31:37,567
No.

480
00:31:52,529 --> 00:31:57,507
His Excellency and Madame Joseph
Bonaparte and Mademoiselle Clary.

481
00:32:06,717 --> 00:32:07,332
Julie.

482
00:32:07,332 --> 00:32:08,084
Madame.

483
00:32:08,496 --> 00:32:09,242
Joseph.

484
00:32:10,378 --> 00:32:11,888
Madame.

485
00:32:12,211 --> 00:32:12,912
Welcome to Malmaison, Mademoiselle.

486
00:32:13,178 --> 00:32:14,153
It's good of you to come.

487
00:32:14,153 --> 00:32:15,880
The delight is completely mine, madame.

488
00:32:18,936 --> 00:32:19,682
Good evening.

489
00:32:20,954 --> 00:32:23,827
It's inconceivable, the little girl I once knew.

490
00:32:25,648 --> 00:32:27,263
Desiree you become a temptress

491
00:32:27,925 --> 00:32:29,781
You've not seen me in a long time General.

492
00:32:30,089 --> 00:32:30,723
Too long.

493
00:32:31,687 --> 00:32:33,391
Your success as our Ambassador in Vienna...

494
00:32:33,671 --> 00:32:37,264
I intend to stay in Paris as long as
Joseph and Julie are here, General.

495
00:32:38,064 --> 00:32:39,670
I shall see that they remain indefinitely.

496
00:32:41,673 --> 00:32:43,302
The tradition of the great diplomats...

497
00:32:45,656 --> 00:32:49,333
Ah, Bernadotte, you know
my brother and his wife.

498
00:32:53,419 --> 00:32:55,145
You seem to be acquainted
with the young lady.

499
00:32:55,903 --> 00:32:56,911
I don't recall that I am.

500
00:32:57,876 --> 00:32:59,711
Joseph, Julie come and meet everybody.

501
00:33:00,966 --> 00:33:04,828
Them allow me to present her, Miss Clary,
General Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte.

502
00:33:19,328 --> 00:33:21,137
The British isles can
never be invaded by the sea.

503
00:33:22,352 --> 00:33:23,316
But here is another way.

504
00:33:25,282 --> 00:33:29,662
Can you image batallion transported
across the channel by air?

505
00:33:30,267 --> 00:33:30,962
By air?

506
00:33:31,315 --> 00:33:33,641
Huge balloons constructed
to remain aloft for hours.

507
00:33:34,391 --> 00:33:35,856
Each carrying a half dozen men.

508
00:33:36,408 --> 00:33:38,935
I've seen the design's fantastic possibilities.

509
00:33:40,603 --> 00:33:41,895
All of this, of course, it will have to wait.

510
00:33:42,848 --> 00:33:45,909
It is now safe to reveal something that
Bernadotte and a few others know.

511
00:33:46,775 --> 00:33:48,597
In a few weeks,
I should leave for the Egyptian campaign.

512
00:33:49,795 --> 00:33:51,587
We will sail from Toulon with 400 ships..

513
00:33:52,349 --> 00:33:54,419
and Two thousand pieces of artillery.

514
00:33:55,622 --> 00:33:57,800
We will unite East and West

515
00:33:59,017 --> 00:34:01,830
40 centuries will look down upon us
and we will not disappointed them.

516
00:34:06,014 --> 00:34:07,433
What do you make of it, Bernadotte?

517
00:34:11,023 --> 00:34:11,607
Egypt...

518
00:34:11,889 --> 00:34:15,944
It will prove that cannon is more
effective than bow and arrow.

519
00:34:18,636 --> 00:34:19,794
You misjudge my motives...

520
00:34:20,348 --> 00:34:22,234
Victory in Egypt, if necessary,
is one more step,

521
00:34:22,576 --> 00:34:24,211
In bringing order and peace to Europe.

522
00:34:24,539 --> 00:34:25,653
Order and peace with conquest.

523
00:34:26,724 --> 00:34:29,262
I'll tell you frankly if I were
Minister of Defense, I'd forbid you to sail.

524
00:34:31,147 --> 00:34:33,720
Then we must make certain
that you're not made Minister of Defense.

525
00:34:34,155 --> 00:34:35,585
At least until after I depart.

526
00:34:36,775 --> 00:34:38,772
General Bernadotte
doesn't approve of conquest...

527
00:34:39,315 --> 00:34:40,367
Not even of ladies.

528
00:34:41,148 --> 00:34:44,338
It must have been painful for you
in Vienna without one at court.

529
00:34:44,746 --> 00:34:47,286
At court and elsewhere.

530
00:34:49,462 --> 00:34:51,038
Perhaps you never found the right lady.

531
00:34:51,396 --> 00:34:52,891
I found her once but she simply vanished.

532
00:34:55,105 --> 00:34:56,632
I drink to her memory.

533
00:35:02,009 --> 00:35:03,696
This one over here it's
called the Donna Velota.

534
00:35:06,889 --> 00:35:08,035
I've seen it somewhere.

535
00:35:08,539 --> 00:35:09,745
It used to hang in Italy

536
00:35:10,809 --> 00:35:11,882
and I borrowed it.

537
00:35:13,897 --> 00:35:15,599
Her smile reminds me of your wife's.

538
00:35:17,290 --> 00:35:18,416
Your tone is cold.

539
00:35:20,369 --> 00:35:21,814
Did you expect it to be otherwise?

540
00:35:22,726 --> 00:35:24,699
I thought I done everything I could
to make it up to you.

541
00:35:25,608 --> 00:35:27,494
By sending me every
eligible bachelor you knew.

542
00:35:28,027 --> 00:35:29,612
I choose only my must trusted aids...

543
00:35:29,883 --> 00:35:31,769
soldiers who have distinguished
themselves in the field of battle...

544
00:35:31,996 --> 00:35:34,559
I am not a decoration to be rewarded
for some deserving officer.

545
00:35:34,979 --> 00:35:36,504
It's time you were married.

546
00:35:36,770 --> 00:35:39,302
Believe me, only in marriage can a
woman find the real meaning in life.

547
00:35:40,203 --> 00:35:41,940
I should like to throw
these candlesticks at you.

548
00:35:43,467 --> 00:35:46,542
Well...if you must,
let's not set fire to the place.

549
00:35:52,721 --> 00:35:54,530
Desiree, I must make you understand...

550
00:35:56,234 --> 00:35:58,512
Without Josephine I could not have
achieve command in Italy.

551
00:36:00,222 --> 00:36:02,206
As a result of that, deeds await me of which

552
00:36:02,544 --> 00:36:04,463
the present generation cannot even dream.

553
00:36:06,145 --> 00:36:09,659
These chuckleheads who
call me bloodthirsty mad, ambitious,

554
00:36:09,947 --> 00:36:11,262
I'm none of these.

555
00:36:12,142 --> 00:36:13,919
I am the French Revolution.

556
00:36:14,601 --> 00:36:15,948
And I shall know how to protect it.

557
00:36:17,811 --> 00:36:19,300
The Crown of France lies in the gutter...

558
00:36:19,965 --> 00:36:23,172
It needs only to be pick it up...

559
00:36:23,478 --> 00:36:24,797
with the point of a sword.

560
00:36:26,324 --> 00:36:27,660
Do you understand that?

561
00:36:29,084 --> 00:36:29,644
Do you?

562
00:36:30,514 --> 00:36:32,669
I don't...I'm not certain.

563
00:36:40,063 --> 00:36:41,700
We must be friends always.

564
00:36:43,894 --> 00:36:46,164
The garden are lovely here in Malmaison.

565
00:36:47,700 --> 00:36:48,967
There are chestnut trees.

566
00:36:49,282 --> 00:36:51,018
And a lake with black and white swans,

567
00:36:52,876 --> 00:36:54,680
and a charming little building...

568
00:36:56,255 --> 00:36:59,367
No, I don't want to walk in the
garden with you again, ever!

569
00:37:16,134 --> 00:37:17,100
Would you object madam,

570
00:37:17,100 --> 00:37:19,063
If I invited your sister for a little drive.?

571
00:37:19,940 --> 00:37:21,728
But of course General, any afternoon..

572
00:37:22,087 --> 00:37:23,050
I meant right now.

573
00:37:23,746 --> 00:37:25,046
Yes, right now.

574
00:37:25,339 --> 00:37:26,371
But it's after dark.

575
00:37:26,585 --> 00:37:27,522
Only a little.

576
00:37:57,338 --> 00:37:58,849
A silk merchant's daughter from Marseilles...

577
00:37:59,387 --> 00:38:00,286
Why didn't you tell me?

578
00:38:00,819 --> 00:38:01,699
I was too proud.

579
00:38:02,742 --> 00:38:03,696
I was too confident.

580
00:38:04,577 --> 00:38:06,209
I called the next day
at the house at the rue Tabac.

581
00:38:06,530 --> 00:38:07,623
They would tell me nothing about you.

582
00:38:08,057 --> 00:38:09,194
I asked them not to.

583
00:38:10,463 --> 00:38:12,139
Thereby cost us a waste of three years.

584
00:38:13,457 --> 00:38:14,756
But I thought of you many times.

585
00:38:16,795 --> 00:38:17,643
Have I changed?

586
00:38:19,464 --> 00:38:20,327
You're more nourished.

587
00:38:22,808 --> 00:38:24,258
And I no longer hate Paris.

588
00:38:25,493 --> 00:38:27,350
It must be the loveliest place in the world.

589
00:38:28,019 --> 00:38:28,983
I never want to leave.

590
00:38:29,450 --> 00:38:29,954
Nor I.

591
00:38:31,911 --> 00:38:33,808
Except that I'll probably
be in command of troops again,

592
00:38:35,159 --> 00:38:35,871
but I found a house

593
00:38:35,871 --> 00:38:37,582
that should be perfect for you and the child.

594
00:38:38,961 --> 00:38:39,549
What child?

595
00:38:40,185 --> 00:38:41,743
Our child of course.

596
00:38:43,617 --> 00:38:45,502
Ordinarily I'm a man of manners and protocol.

597
00:38:45,923 --> 00:38:48,592
I'd call on you, and your family,
bring you flowers,

598
00:38:48,822 --> 00:38:49,719
Take you to the theater.

599
00:38:50,201 --> 00:38:52,299
I'd do whatever is required
of a man before he proposing.

600
00:38:54,042 --> 00:38:55,295
Three years is enough time to waste.

601
00:38:56,195 --> 00:38:56,854
Oh, no, please.

602
00:39:06,975 --> 00:39:08,218
There's no help for it.

603
00:39:16,688 --> 00:39:18,086
You're the second man I've ever kissed.

604
00:39:20,135 --> 00:39:21,110
Do it again.

605
00:39:31,001 --> 00:39:32,347
I was born in a small city

606
00:39:32,575 --> 00:39:33,768
called Pau in Gascony.

607
00:39:34,629 --> 00:39:36,578
My father was a clerk in a law office.

608
00:39:36,923 --> 00:39:38,337
Joined the army when I was 17.

609
00:39:39,883 --> 00:39:41,327
You're not the second girl I've ever kissed.

610
00:39:42,828 --> 00:39:44,049
I don't mind really.

611
00:39:44,324 --> 00:39:45,474
I'm not apologizing.

612
00:39:47,150 --> 00:39:47,823
One more statistic.

613
00:39:49,420 --> 00:39:51,642
Ever since the moment I left you
that night in the rue Tabac.

614
00:39:53,259 --> 00:39:54,474
I've been in love with you.

615
00:40:06,637 --> 00:40:09,241
I met him first. I loved him.

616
00:40:11,097 --> 00:40:12,103
You will always know that.

617
00:40:14,184 --> 00:40:14,934
Do you still love him?

618
00:40:16,690 --> 00:40:17,925
I haven't found out yet.

619
00:40:20,385 --> 00:40:21,277
I hope not.

620
00:40:24,011 --> 00:40:25,538
You think you could ever be in love with me?

621
00:40:29,008 --> 00:40:30,060
I think so...

622
00:40:32,338 --> 00:40:34,064
My sweet General of the bridge.

623
00:40:35,349 --> 00:40:36,636
Then we'd better risk the other.

624
00:40:37,836 --> 00:40:38,979
Perhaps it doesn't matter that I-no...

625
00:40:39,625 --> 00:40:41,352
No, I meant perhaps it doesn't matter...

626
00:40:41,577 --> 00:40:43,236
that I'm too short for you.

627
00:40:44,733 --> 00:40:45,697
The trousseu's all ready.

628
00:40:46,076 --> 00:40:47,877
I embroidered the monogram long ago.

629
00:40:48,682 --> 00:40:52,310
B's but...I didn't know they'd be for Benardotte.

630
00:41:10,301 --> 00:41:11,682
Look at him, he's red. He's crab red.

631
00:41:12,533 --> 00:41:13,604
He looks so offended

632
00:41:13,913 --> 00:41:15,294
Perhaps because we named him Oscar.

633
00:41:15,655 --> 00:41:17,133
You can be sure I had nothing to say about it.

634
00:41:17,636 --> 00:41:18,764
It's a hideous name.

635
00:41:19,134 --> 00:41:20,145
It is a noble name.

636
00:41:21,042 --> 00:41:22,549
It belongs to a Nordic Hero.

637
00:41:23,395 --> 00:41:25,204
May we join this happy occasion?

638
00:41:25,874 --> 00:41:26,777
Of course.

639
00:41:26,777 --> 00:41:27,691
We're honored.

640
00:41:29,608 --> 00:41:31,983
We've come to pay our compliments
to the Bernadotte Dynasty.

641
00:41:33,595 --> 00:41:34,058
Well...

642
00:41:40,978 --> 00:41:42,007
How small he is.

643
00:41:43,064 --> 00:41:44,514
They're always small at the beginning.

644
00:41:49,558 --> 00:41:50,665
Oh, I brought these for you.

645
00:41:50,958 --> 00:41:51,781
They are beautiful.

646
00:41:52,268 --> 00:41:53,735
They are from our garden in Malmaison.

647
00:41:53,977 --> 00:41:55,261
They are lovely. I put them in a vase.

648
00:41:55,769 --> 00:41:57,118
May I come with you?

649
00:41:57,571 --> 00:41:57,948
Please.

650
00:42:01,232 --> 00:42:01,900
There we are.

651
00:42:03,598 --> 00:42:04,126
There baby, all right.

652
00:42:05,771 --> 00:42:06,506
Quiet baby.

653
00:42:09,705 --> 00:42:11,755
I hear that you're not please
about my return from Egypt.

654
00:42:12,378 --> 00:42:13,903
A commander's place is with his troops.

655
00:42:14,511 --> 00:42:16,103
I returned to the place I was needed most.

656
00:42:16,961 --> 00:42:18,250
The situation here is desperate,

657
00:42:19,631 --> 00:42:21,907
riots, corruption, political murders...

658
00:42:22,839 --> 00:42:24,217
The government won't last out the month.

659
00:42:26,481 --> 00:42:28,531
I've tried and tried to grow stems like these.

660
00:42:28,531 --> 00:42:29,909
I took envy in your roses.

661
00:42:31,072 --> 00:42:32,382
I envy you your son.

662
00:42:33,215 --> 00:42:35,490
Some day I hope he'll come to visit
one of yours and Napoleon's.

663
00:42:37,263 --> 00:42:38,594
It's kind of you to hope that.

664
00:42:40,891 --> 00:42:41,719
Strange isn't it?

665
00:42:42,206 --> 00:42:44,208
With my first husband,
I didn't really wish for children...

666
00:42:44,517 --> 00:42:46,589
And I had two quite quickly,
for I was twenty.

667
00:42:47,933 --> 00:42:48,504
In fact...

668
00:42:48,778 --> 00:42:49,951
You're not speaking of leadership.

669
00:42:50,509 --> 00:42:52,615
What you suggest is
dictatorship with you as the dictator.

670
00:42:53,853 --> 00:42:55,449
I'll tell you what it's up to us Bernadotte...

671
00:42:55,449 --> 00:42:57,171
It's up to the general of
the army to save the republic.

672
00:42:58,513 --> 00:42:59,400
What do you object to?

673
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:00,722
Your methods...

674
00:43:01,076 --> 00:43:03,156
I see, but I must know who
support me and who does not.

675
00:43:04,069 --> 00:43:06,134
It force me to know where do you stand?

676
00:43:06,805 --> 00:43:08,674
You came here to ask me to join in treason...

677
00:43:08,674 --> 00:43:10,183
I must ask you to leave my house.

678
00:43:12,949 --> 00:43:15,620
Well, your husband is a very stubborn man.

679
00:43:28,793 --> 00:43:31,351
Write that on November 9, 1799...

680
00:43:31,852 --> 00:43:35,038
Napoleon Bonaparte was proclaimed
the first consul of the French Republic.

681
00:43:36,603 --> 00:43:38,877
Those who tried to walk out of the
chamber of deputies in protest...

682
00:43:39,107 --> 00:43:40,297
were turned back at the exits...

683
00:43:41,222 --> 00:43:42,846
by the bayonets of Bonaparte's aides.

684
00:43:44,591 --> 00:43:45,904
If we're forced to flee...

685
00:43:46,199 --> 00:43:47,141
I could dress as a boy.

686
00:43:49,272 --> 00:43:50,758
You've been reading novels again.

687
00:43:52,433 --> 00:43:54,189
Desiree, have you heard?

688
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:56,757
Joseph's to be Foreign Minister.

689
00:43:57,293 --> 00:43:58,820
And we're moving to the Tuileries.

690
00:44:00,113 --> 00:44:01,589
Josephine's going to do everything over...

691
00:44:01,830 --> 00:44:03,228
It's all so dingy and old-fashioned.

692
00:44:03,228 --> 00:44:04,827
Her appartment's to be in white...

693
00:44:05,342 --> 00:44:08,243
Imagine me, Julie Clary, in the Tuileries.

694
00:44:10,456 --> 00:44:11,868
You're not still writing in your diary!

695
00:44:12,810 --> 00:44:14,338
Oh, Ha, Ha, How funny!

696
00:44:14,816 --> 00:44:15,558
Why funny?

697
00:44:15,803 --> 00:44:17,266
Because everything's so different...

698
00:44:18,373 --> 00:44:21,106
I have an order from the first consul.

699
00:44:22,102 --> 00:44:24,996
General Bernadotte is to
report to him, tomorrow at 11:00.

700
00:44:26,268 --> 00:44:27,238
So very different.

701
00:44:32,151 --> 00:44:33,817
The Nation has chosen me as its guardian...

702
00:44:34,501 --> 00:44:35,843
We've averted civil war.

703
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:39,995
Bernadotte I ask you to join my council of state.

704
00:44:41,904 --> 00:44:42,790
Why do you do this?

705
00:44:43,007 --> 00:44:44,632
Because France can not afford to lose

706
00:44:44,855 --> 00:44:46,000
One of her most able man.

707
00:44:47,090 --> 00:44:48,465
Listen to me Bernadotte.

708
00:44:48,465 --> 00:44:50,114
Listen to some of the things I've planned.

709
00:44:50,972 --> 00:44:52,077
A unified code of laws...

710
00:44:52,584 --> 00:44:53,377
a bank of France...

711
00:44:54,486 --> 00:44:55,850
We need new roads and harbors...

712
00:44:55,850 --> 00:44:56,999
I will abolish hereditary titles...

713
00:44:57,630 --> 00:44:58,650
all these things and more...

714
00:44:59,529 --> 00:45:00,718
A new program for the republic...

715
00:45:01,698 --> 00:45:03,922
You're the last man of consequence to oppose it.

716
00:45:05,310 --> 00:45:06,722
I've never oppose the republic.

717
00:45:07,764 --> 00:45:08,477
Then you accept?

718
00:45:10,710 --> 00:45:14,204
Well I'm delight. I'm delight for yourself
as well as for your wife.

719
00:45:14,730 --> 00:45:16,383
She was never one to lurk in alleyways.

720
00:45:16,599 --> 00:45:17,880
Pasting up inflammatory posters.

721
00:45:19,036 --> 00:45:21,882
And Bernadotte if you chose to number
yourself among my friends...

722
00:45:24,255 --> 00:45:26,596
Well. you'll be most welcome...

723
00:45:28,260 --> 00:45:29,233
I give you my loyalty.

724
00:45:30,647 --> 00:45:31,932
I cannot promise you affection.

725
00:45:35,657 --> 00:45:37,204
Oscar, it's time for your lunch.

726
00:45:37,757 --> 00:45:40,055
Desiree, you're late already for the
coronation rehearsal.

727
00:45:41,469 --> 00:45:42,736
I never saw such a girl...

728
00:45:43,404 --> 00:45:45,390
The old dragon gets grouchier every year.

729
00:45:46,378 --> 00:45:48,881
Mama, will the Emperor wear his crown to bed?

730
00:45:49,761 --> 00:45:51,713
I don't know dear, it may be too heavy for him.

731
00:45:52,154 --> 00:45:53,079
Nor for Napoleon.

732
00:45:54,302 --> 00:45:55,488
Emperor of the French.

733
00:45:56,608 --> 00:45:58,446
Remember that night when he came to
visit us in Marseille?

734
00:45:59,230 --> 00:46:00,464
Would you ever have dreamed it then?

735
00:46:00,464 --> 00:46:03,000
No, but I'm sure he did, he always felt
that nothing was beyond him.

736
00:46:04,108 --> 00:46:07,609
Look Mama, I'm a Marshal of France,
Just like Papa.

737
00:46:10,085 --> 00:46:12,782
Do you know his brother wants me to call
him Marshal "My Lord", even his wife.

738
00:46:13,434 --> 00:46:14,420
I never heard you do it.

739
00:46:14,420 --> 00:46:16,827
Oh, I do...but only in our bedroom.

740
00:46:17,450 --> 00:46:18,182
Desiree!

741
00:46:20,666 --> 00:46:24,657
Notre Dame. The interior of Notre Dame,
dressed for his majesty's coronation.

742
00:46:25,286 --> 00:46:27,794
Behold, if you please, his majesty.

743
00:46:28,126 --> 00:46:30,132
Lo...her majesty.

744
00:46:30,903 --> 00:46:34,254
The Imperial Orb so, the sceptre thus,

745
00:46:34,477 --> 00:46:36,380
the sword of Charlemagne thus...

746
00:46:37,572 --> 00:46:40,175
You ladies each a wife
of a Marshal of France accordingly...

747
00:46:41,002 --> 00:46:44,158
Now, the organ peals, the procession begins.

748
00:46:44,513 --> 00:46:47,125
Lightly, gracefully, and above all joyously...

749
00:46:47,931 --> 00:46:49,987
Her majesty start so...

750
00:46:50,336 --> 00:46:52,701
The sisters of his gracious majesty...

751
00:46:53,036 --> 00:46:54,797
lift the train of her majesty's robe...

752
00:46:55,079 --> 00:46:57,073
I don't want to carry the train...

753
00:46:57,335 --> 00:47:00,118
Neither I, she can pull it by herself,
let her walk on her knees...

754
00:47:00,373 --> 00:47:01,822
Mesdames, I implore you...

755
00:47:02,275 --> 00:47:04,114
It is his majesty's expressed wish.

756
00:47:04,477 --> 00:47:05,907
Not if he throws me out of France.

757
00:47:12,447 --> 00:47:14,934
Madame Bernadotte
we haven't seen you in some time.

758
00:47:15,779 --> 00:47:16,557
How is your family?

759
00:47:16,786 --> 00:47:17,703
Very well your majesty.

760
00:47:18,270 --> 00:47:19,961
Your little boy, is he growing fast?

761
00:47:20,266 --> 00:47:21,784
Very fast, thank you your majesty.

762
00:47:25,261 --> 00:47:26,318
What is it, Monsieur Duprier?

763
00:47:26,839 --> 00:47:30,354
Your Majesty, she's the Emperor's sister
but she is also the wife of a Marshal...

764
00:47:30,663 --> 00:47:31,154
Well?

765
00:47:31,460 --> 00:47:34,388
18 Marshal's wives, 9 pairs side by side...

766
00:47:34,712 --> 00:47:36,989
But she's also to help carry her majesty's train..

767
00:47:37,476 --> 00:47:39,112
This leaves 17 ladies only...

768
00:47:39,395 --> 00:47:43,300
How can 17 ladies form 2s,
none to walk by themselves?

769
00:47:43,744 --> 00:47:47,159
Might I be of assistance in this difficult
and strategic operation?

770
00:47:53,127 --> 00:47:56,236
You see, we will have only 16
Marshals' wives in the procession..

771
00:47:56,899 --> 00:48:00,824
The extra one, the odd one, will carry...

772
00:48:01,051 --> 00:48:02,998
one on her majesty's lace handkerchiefs.

773
00:48:05,476 --> 00:48:06,747
On a pillow.

774
00:48:07,494 --> 00:48:09,479
Now, I think that will be a very poetic touch.

775
00:48:09,782 --> 00:48:10,876
A stroke of genius, your majesty.

776
00:48:11,245 --> 00:48:14,552
Now, I think we should allow...Uh,

777
00:48:17,428 --> 00:48:18,663
Uh, Madame, uh...

778
00:48:21,104 --> 00:48:23,316
Madame Bernadotte the responsibility of this.

779
00:48:24,779 --> 00:48:26,635
I think she will look lovely in sky blue.

780
00:48:27,690 --> 00:48:29,806
Sky blue isn't becoming to me,
I haven't worn it in years.

781
00:48:30,668 --> 00:48:31,506
Yes, well...

782
00:48:35,664 --> 00:48:36,653
Proceed, I will watch.

783
00:48:37,045 --> 00:48:39,492
Ladies, if you please, your positions.

784
00:48:40,349 --> 00:48:40,938
Organist.

785
00:48:43,682 --> 00:48:46,383
So, Your Majesty if I may be permitted.

786
00:48:47,345 --> 00:48:51,621
So, now ladies, we remember our
position as we rehearsed them?

787
00:48:52,842 --> 00:48:54,579
So, Your Majesty, mesdames...

788
00:48:54,905 --> 00:48:56,603
Her Majesty's train, I implore you.

789
00:48:56,975 --> 00:48:59,689
Madame Bernadotte,
in your position, if you please.

790
00:49:00,304 --> 00:49:01,510
So, Music.

791
00:49:02,518 --> 00:49:06,991
1 and 2 and 3 and 4...

792
00:49:07,775 --> 00:49:12,439
1 and 2 and 3 and 4...

793
00:49:13,610 --> 00:49:17,102
And lightly, gracefully, joyously...

794
00:49:17,709 --> 00:49:18,523
Happily.

795
00:49:19,031 --> 00:49:21,191
Left and right and...

796
00:49:21,602 --> 00:49:24,801
What seem to be the difficulty?

797
00:49:25,475 --> 00:49:27,001
We refuse to carry her train.

798
00:49:27,831 --> 00:49:29,704
We're made to do the job of page girls.

799
00:49:30,074 --> 00:49:31,635
You've heaped honors
in everybody, but what are we?

800
00:49:31,879 --> 00:49:32,805
Your own sisters.

801
00:49:32,805 --> 00:49:33,780
Nothing.

802
00:49:34,415 --> 00:49:35,928
Well, what exactly do you wish to be?

803
00:49:36,666 --> 00:49:38,175
If you want to know, a princess.

804
00:49:38,498 --> 00:49:39,149
Yes, a princess.

805
00:49:39,540 --> 00:49:42,260
I thought I treated my family with
more distinction that they deserved.

806
00:49:42,499 --> 00:49:43,658
You're Marshalls' wives!.

807
00:49:44,257 --> 00:49:46,816
Your husband is in the Ministry of Finance,
a fiddle player!

808
00:49:48,161 --> 00:49:49,558
You are the countess Bourges!

809
00:49:50,112 --> 00:49:53,756
Yes, you made me marry the only man I knew I
wasn't the tiniest bit in love with.

810
00:49:54,601 --> 00:49:57,497
Sir, I beg you graciously that you
grant your sisters' request.

811
00:50:00,134 --> 00:50:01,661
So that we may get on with the rehearsal.

812
00:50:02,302 --> 00:50:04,290
Princesses of what? Where?

813
00:50:07,127 --> 00:50:08,298
Very well. kneel.

814
00:50:13,454 --> 00:50:16,935
Now each of you are
an Imperial Highness, a princess.

815
00:50:16,935 --> 00:50:19,164
Now, will you kindly arise and  carry the train?

816
00:50:28,728 --> 00:50:31,139
Sire, it is about the virgins.

817
00:50:33,599 --> 00:50:34,315
What about them?

818
00:50:34,795 --> 00:50:36,230
None can be found at court.

819
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:38,523
Why must we have them?

820
00:50:38,737 --> 00:50:40,884
His majesty command
that the coronation be modelled...

821
00:50:41,107 --> 00:50:43,319
in every details after the
medieval ceremony at Durance...

822
00:50:43,616 --> 00:50:46,331
Thus, 12 virgins must walk to the altar...

823
00:50:46,589 --> 00:50:48,021
after the anointing of Emperor.

824
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:54,319
I am sure they are at least 12
suitable ladies left in France.

825
00:50:58,157 --> 00:50:59,136
In sky blue.

826
00:51:05,181 --> 00:51:07,933
Last week the army even
drafted the son of the coachman.

827
00:51:08,558 --> 00:51:10,035
Do you know how old is he?

828
00:51:10,750 --> 00:51:11,965
He is fifteen.

829
00:51:13,484 --> 00:51:15,175
What country will he die in?

830
00:51:15,632 --> 00:51:16,423
Bavaria?

831
00:51:16,811 --> 00:51:17,690
Spain?

832
00:51:18,799 --> 00:51:21,453
I tell you they are taking boys of 15.

833
00:51:21,923 --> 00:51:22,918
I know Mary.

834
00:51:23,253 --> 00:51:24,872
My nephew's at the Austrian front.

835
00:51:25,390 --> 00:51:26,819
My brother's only son.

836
00:51:27,925 --> 00:51:30,984
The marched him away
with roses tied to his musket.

837
00:51:32,916 --> 00:51:34,173
Everything went wrong.

838
00:51:35,767 --> 00:51:36,920
They can't find any virgins.

839
00:51:37,356 --> 00:51:39,714
And Josephine's crown with
the other ladies, doesn't fit properly.

840
00:51:40,969 --> 00:51:42,828
She and Napoleon are having
a church wedding tonight.

841
00:51:43,559 --> 00:51:45,214
The Pope won't crown them unless they do.

842
00:51:45,459 --> 00:51:46,775
They only had a civil ceremony before.

843
00:51:47,817 --> 00:51:48,553
What's this?

844
00:51:48,986 --> 00:51:52,696
It came for you this afternoon
from the Imperial household.

845
00:51:54,208 --> 00:51:55,495
And I'm to have a special role.

846
00:51:55,753 --> 00:51:57,221
I don't dance with all the other wives.

847
00:51:57,462 --> 00:52:00,166
I come in all alone carrying Josephine's
handkerchief on a cushion.

848
00:52:01,131 --> 00:52:01,888
Isn't that quaint?

849
00:52:02,521 --> 00:52:04,862
He's ask me to wear sky blue, which I detest.

850
00:52:05,611 --> 00:52:07,195
I don't care for you having a special role.

851
00:52:07,649 --> 00:52:08,312
He wishes...

852
00:52:08,688 --> 00:52:09,468
What did you say?

853
00:52:09,711 --> 00:52:12,021
The Emperor wished it, that I can't very well
do anything about it.

854
00:52:12,607 --> 00:52:13,777
The Emperor wished it?

855
00:52:14,720 --> 00:52:15,241
Jean?

856
00:52:15,241 --> 00:52:18,461
Every time he sees you, the comedy,
the opera, his receptions, now...

857
00:52:18,901 --> 00:52:19,849
That's ridiculous!

858
00:52:19,849 --> 00:52:21,802
Do you realize how long it's been since he and...

859
00:52:26,758 --> 00:52:27,882
I'm nothing but a memory to him.

860
00:52:30,616 --> 00:52:32,840
Yes, a memory he'd undoubtedly like to refresh.

861
00:52:36,487 --> 00:52:37,851
"Madame la Marschal...

862
00:52:38,425 --> 00:52:41,300
In Marseilles, you kindly
lent me some of your savings...

863
00:52:43,091 --> 00:52:44,554
so that I might travel to Paris...

864
00:52:45,451 --> 00:52:47,600
This journey had bought me good fortune...

865
00:52:48,511 --> 00:52:51,406
It is an obligation I take
pleasure in meeting today...

866
00:52:52,809 --> 00:52:54,410
The amount involved at this time was...

867
00:52:56,266 --> 00:52:57,586
...was 98 francs..

868
00:53:00,724 --> 00:53:03,638
Thank you, Napoleon".

869
00:53:12,695 --> 00:53:14,939
If he cannot forget it's
because I'm part of his youth.

870
00:53:18,389 --> 00:53:19,560
I won't go to the coronation.

871
00:53:21,543 --> 00:53:23,222
I'll stay in bed with a cold.

872
00:53:24,438 --> 00:53:27,516
I'm seriously ill with a cold,
headache and sore throat.

873
00:53:28,168 --> 00:53:30,490
And I cannot take
part of the coronation ceremony.

874
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:37,127
Oh, I love you very much.

875
00:53:38,859 --> 00:53:39,516
And I...

876
00:53:40,314 --> 00:53:41,311
I'm not going to cry...

877
00:54:54,580 --> 00:54:56,402
Heavens! He crowned himself!

878
00:55:35,895 --> 00:55:39,505
A long time ago I pressed these roses
Josephine brought me.

879
00:55:40,742 --> 00:55:42,729
Even then I think
she knew what would happen...

880
00:55:43,982 --> 00:55:48,423
And later, I remember the way she
looked at him at the coronation.

881
00:55:50,306 --> 00:55:53,820
Just five years back almost to the day.

882
00:55:57,127 --> 00:56:00,490
Well, this is one of his affairs I won't attend.

883
00:56:01,433 --> 00:56:04,018
This time I am staying in bed
with a cold I don't have.

884
00:56:05,696 --> 00:56:09,111
For several years past I've lost
all hopes of having children...

885
00:56:09,406 --> 00:56:11,224
for my beloved wife, the Empress Josephine.

886
00:56:12,167 --> 00:56:13,959
Yet political necessities of my monarchy

887
00:56:14,219 --> 00:56:16,692
requires that I leave heirs to the throne,
on with providence replace me...

888
00:56:18,046 --> 00:56:20,594
The interest of France demand...

889
00:56:20,888 --> 00:56:22,742
the dissolution of our marriage.

890
00:56:33,544 --> 00:56:36,978
I wish to state that my marriage is an obstacle...

891
00:56:37,204 --> 00:56:38,747
to the welfare of the nation.

892
00:56:39,745 --> 00:56:43,367
as I no longer expect to be able...

893
00:56:44,431 --> 00:56:46,686
to fulfill my...

894
00:56:48,332 --> 00:56:50,588
obligations.

895
00:56:56,544 --> 00:56:59,671
To fulfill my obligations, I resigned to my love...

896
00:57:00,632 --> 00:57:02,778
I owe everything to his majesty's kindness...

897
00:57:03,539 --> 00:57:05,424
As occupant of the
throne on which he places me...

898
00:57:05,988 --> 00:57:10,142
I have received abundant testimony of the
love and affection of the French people.

899
00:57:10,923 --> 00:57:12,538
It is with regard of these sentiments

900
00:57:13,093 --> 00:57:15,641
that I consent's to the wishes of my regal consul.

901
00:57:19,514 --> 00:57:21,145
You were the only one who stayed away.

902
00:57:21,950 --> 00:57:24,360
Perhaps I was the only
one who knew how you really felt.

903
00:57:25,789 --> 00:57:26,981
That's why I sent for you.

904
00:57:28,329 --> 00:57:31,604
I wanted someone
with me who knew how I really felt.

905
00:57:34,933 --> 00:57:36,155
I have to leave in the morning.

906
00:57:37,305 --> 00:57:39,244
The workmen are
coming to redecorate the rooms.

907
00:57:42,498 --> 00:57:44,301
You were the only one who stayed away.

908
00:57:47,457 --> 00:57:50,308
Her Majesty wishes to retire now.
Finish that in the morning.

909
00:57:51,075 --> 00:57:52,467
Not "her majesty" anymore.

910
00:57:54,895 --> 00:57:57,153
Please take the rest of this,
it will help you to sleep.

911
00:57:57,736 --> 00:57:59,970
I've had so much already.

912
00:58:03,074 --> 00:58:05,271
You threw a glass of champagne on me once.

913
00:58:06,428 --> 00:58:07,923
I made you very unhappy.

914
00:58:11,369 --> 00:58:12,312
Forgive me.

915
00:58:13,048 --> 00:58:14,091
I didn't mean to.

916
00:58:14,393 --> 00:58:16,216
It's long ago and long since healed.

917
00:58:24,175 --> 00:58:25,931
You ought to tint your hair, Desiree.

918
00:58:26,172 --> 00:58:27,006
When you wash it...

919
00:58:27,292 --> 00:58:28,155
just a little.

920
00:58:28,761 --> 00:58:30,138
Give it a reddish glow.

921
00:58:31,544 --> 00:58:32,580
It would be lovely.

922
00:58:32,830 --> 00:58:33,525
Yes Madame.

923
00:58:35,208 --> 00:58:36,249
It would be lovely.

924
00:58:37,980 --> 00:58:38,305
She's...

925
00:58:39,333 --> 00:58:40,680
She's only 18, you know...

926
00:58:42,308 --> 00:58:43,266
That Marie-Louise...

927
00:58:44,965 --> 00:58:46,623
that Austrian princess he's marrying.

928
00:58:48,269 --> 00:58:49,550
She's....she's a Hapsburg

929
00:58:51,125 --> 00:58:52,848
The Hapsburgs are very prolific...

930
00:58:54,588 --> 00:58:56,429
She'll have no end of little princes.

931
00:58:58,105 --> 00:58:59,959
No end of little Hapsburg Bonapartes.

932
00:59:01,081 --> 00:59:02,141
I must leave now, madam.

933
00:59:03,168 --> 00:59:06,445
Please, he always knew I
couldn't have a child by him.

934
00:59:07,340 --> 00:59:08,420
I told him so.

935
00:59:09,301 --> 00:59:10,692
I even told him why.

936
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:13,364
He always knew, Desiree.

937
00:59:16,465 --> 00:59:16,750
He...

938
00:59:19,461 --> 00:59:21,040
He always knew.

939
00:59:44,999 --> 00:59:46,629
Don't desert him, Desiree.

940
00:59:49,697 --> 00:59:53,196
When he loses his powers, he'll need someone.

941
01:00:44,631 --> 01:00:45,544
Who's there?

942
01:00:48,245 --> 01:00:48,437
Me.

943
01:00:51,582 --> 01:00:52,358
Who's me?

944
01:00:55,466 --> 01:00:56,669
I was just leaving.

945
01:00:58,601 --> 01:01:00,105
To begin with, what are you doing here?

946
01:01:01,222 --> 01:01:04,054
I wonder myself, her majesty sent for me.

947
01:01:05,548 --> 01:01:08,041
Oh, for consolation, I suppose.

948
01:01:09,128 --> 01:01:11,154
How very inventive of her to choose you.

949
01:01:12,217 --> 01:01:14,322
I always envied Josephine's sense of theater.

950
01:01:15,048 --> 01:01:17,220
You are unkind sir, she's truly heartbroken.

951
01:01:17,910 --> 01:01:19,312
Don't whistle so with pity.

952
01:01:19,702 --> 01:01:23,885
She leaves with 700 dresses, 250 hats,
3 million francs a year...

953
01:01:24,303 --> 01:01:25,232
Has she been crying?

954
01:01:26,114 --> 01:01:26,619
Yes.

955
01:01:27,397 --> 01:01:28,906
Well, she'll cry for several days.

956
01:01:29,252 --> 01:01:32,571
Have a facial massage
and go out and order ten new gowns.

957
01:01:34,082 --> 01:01:35,838
If you'll just show me the way out of here...

958
01:01:37,445 --> 01:01:38,602
The door to the hall is there,

959
01:01:40,609 --> 01:01:42,279
Don't you want to put your shoes on first?

960
01:01:58,664 --> 01:01:59,588
Desiree.

961
01:02:01,203 --> 01:02:02,436
Citizeness Desiree.

962
01:02:03,968 --> 01:02:07,231
Tell me, how is that fine fellow, your brother?

963
01:02:10,062 --> 01:02:11,606
He's been living here for some time.

964
01:02:13,737 --> 01:02:16,698
There is now a Paris branch of Clary and Son.

965
01:02:17,934 --> 01:02:20,377
Oh, yes Clary and son.

966
01:02:21,664 --> 01:02:23,449
I remember you wanted me to go to work for him...

967
01:02:24,623 --> 01:02:25,773
Selling ribbons, I believe.

968
01:02:28,085 --> 01:02:29,532
Yes, your majesty.

969
01:02:32,626 --> 01:02:37,511
Well, we're quite different people now, aren't we?

970
01:02:36,884 --> 01:02:38,062
Or are we the same?

971
01:02:39,278 --> 01:02:41,577
If I may have my shoes, please.

972
01:02:43,362 --> 01:02:45,330
It's a pity you're married to Bernadotte.

973
01:02:47,948 --> 01:02:49,595
Well, to the future, them.

974
01:02:51,362 --> 01:02:52,957
Marie-Louise of Austria.

975
01:02:56,082 --> 01:02:57,677
Politically, she's very desirable.

976
01:02:59,075 --> 01:03:02,718
There is a certain look of fertility about her.

977
01:03:05,456 --> 01:03:06,815
You don't approve of this marriage?

978
01:03:07,338 --> 01:03:09,355
I do not approve of your divorce, sire.

979
01:03:11,232 --> 01:03:13,261
I marry and divorce for France.

980
01:03:14,886 --> 01:03:17,504
And you will kindly stop calling me sire?.

981
01:03:23,749 --> 01:03:27,132
This belonged to the
last Austrian to inhabit these quarters...

982
01:03:27,414 --> 01:03:28,339
Marie Antoniette.

983
01:03:28,686 --> 01:03:30,451
The new Austrian undoubtedly want to waltz.

984
01:03:31,643 --> 01:03:33,867
I never learned, teach me.

985
01:03:36,163 --> 01:03:37,597
I cannot! Not here.

986
01:03:38,557 --> 01:03:39,277
Here...

987
01:03:41,405 --> 01:03:42,805
and now.

988
01:03:51,624 --> 01:03:52,620
We are different.

989
01:03:55,602 --> 01:03:57,187
I will not try to kiss you again.

990
01:03:59,236 --> 01:04:00,311
Let us waltz.

991
01:04:02,097 --> 01:04:02,834
No.

992
01:04:03,237 --> 01:04:04,152
We will waltz.

993
01:04:09,484 --> 01:04:11,394
No. You have to keep on turning.

994
01:04:13,879 --> 01:04:14,982
1,2, 3...

995
01:04:15,405 --> 01:04:16,478
1,2, 3...

996
01:04:16,889 --> 01:04:18,075
2, 3...

997
01:04:20,741 --> 01:04:21,313
2, 3...

998
01:04:25,914 --> 01:04:27,378
1, 2, 3...

999
01:04:27,758 --> 01:04:28,829
1, 2, 3...

1000
01:04:35,483 --> 01:04:37,956
"Our armies are everywhere now,
even in Spain...

1001
01:04:39,102 --> 01:04:40,839
and my husband's been heaped with honors.

1002
01:04:41,634 --> 01:04:44,515
Oscar's likes best Denmark's
order of the elephant.

1003
01:04:45,735 --> 01:04:48,430
But Jean-Baptiste treasures
this one from Sweden.

1004
01:04:49,538 --> 01:04:51,836
Since he's been wounded and
sent home, the last time...

1005
01:04:52,057 --> 01:04:53,442
I have seen him look at it often.

1006
01:04:54,436 --> 01:04:56,488
With a most curious smile."

1007
01:05:30,983 --> 01:05:31,788
Desiree.

1008
01:05:32,223 --> 01:05:33,101
Desiree, wake up.

1009
01:05:33,901 --> 01:05:34,984
Wake up, hurry!

1010
01:05:35,265 --> 01:05:36,091
Put something around you.

1011
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:37,232
Why must I wake up?

1012
01:05:37,948 --> 01:05:38,568
What is it, Papa?

1013
01:05:39,314 --> 01:05:40,255
There is a new lord?

1014
01:05:40,482 --> 01:05:41,525
You'll heard all about it, just hurry.

1015
01:05:41,525 --> 01:05:43,348
There have been rumors for some time.
I didn't want to tell you.

1016
01:05:43,724 --> 01:05:45,626
Help Madame Bernadotte, a robe,
anything. Do you understand?

1017
01:05:46,729 --> 01:05:48,583
No, I don't understand a thing!.

1018
01:05:52,087 --> 01:05:53,975
As chamberlain of his majesty, Charles XIII...

1019
01:05:54,373 --> 01:05:56,262
I have the honor to
report that the Swedish parliament...

1020
01:05:56,943 --> 01:05:58,117
has unanimously elected...

1021
01:05:58,944 --> 01:06:02,625
Jean-Baptiste Barnadotte
heir to the throne of Sweden.

1022
01:06:04,850 --> 01:06:06,690
Heir...to the throne.?

1023
01:06:07,502 --> 01:06:10,155
King Charles wishes to adopt Marshal
Bernadotte as his beloved son...

1024
01:06:10,826 --> 01:06:13,016
and receive him as a Crown Princes.

1025
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:18,263
That would mean that I'd be
crown princess of Sweden.

1026
01:06:18,612 --> 01:06:19,379
Yes, Madame.

1027
01:06:20,013 --> 01:06:21,311
And eventually, Queen.

1028
01:06:21,704 --> 01:06:24,012
Queen?

1029
01:06:26,701 --> 01:06:28,002
But I don't know how to be a Queen.

1030
01:06:28,977 --> 01:06:32,232
We regret that you are not at time to
become accustomed to the idea.

1031
01:06:33,241 --> 01:06:34,380
We shall await your decision.

1032
01:06:36,688 --> 01:06:37,729
I'll make it quickly.

1033
01:06:40,512 --> 01:06:42,557
You gentlemen must have had a
long and timed journey.

1034
01:06:42,868 --> 01:06:43,954
You must join us for a glass of wine..

1035
01:06:45,050 --> 01:06:47,206
Look Papa, three crowns and a lion.

1036
01:06:47,679 --> 01:06:48,965
What a beautiful coat of arms.

1037
01:06:49,453 --> 01:06:52,758
Please, tell me why the
Sweden chose my husband.

1038
01:06:53,618 --> 01:06:56,077
Madame Bernadotte has not occupied
herself with affairs of state.

1039
01:06:57,067 --> 01:07:01,118
Madame, for a century now, the importance of
Sweden as a great nation

1040
01:07:01,401 --> 01:07:02,515
has been failing.

1041
01:07:02,904 --> 01:07:05,513
Our present king is very old, he's childless.

1042
01:07:06,303 --> 01:07:07,573
If he dies without a heir...

1043
01:07:07,914 --> 01:07:10,990
there are certain forces within the
nation that may provoke civil war.

1044
01:07:12,047 --> 01:07:14,373
If that happens our country may well disappears...

1045
01:07:14,782 --> 01:07:18,058
We're an ancient state madame,
we want to survive.

1046
01:07:18,458 --> 01:07:20,401
My husband is not Swedish.

1047
01:07:20,685 --> 01:07:22,702
Precisely, we need fresh blood.

1048
01:07:23,319 --> 01:07:25,499
We need a man on
stature that Europe respects.

1049
01:07:26,282 --> 01:07:28,639
To be honest, we need a marshal of France.

1050
01:07:29,193 --> 01:07:32,839
And Bernadotte ei the only marshal
who is not servile to Napoleon.

1051
01:07:33,426 --> 01:07:34,770
But I'd have not learn Swedish.

1052
01:07:35,081 --> 01:07:36,430
I'm terrible at languages.

1053
01:07:37,015 --> 01:07:40,375
Your Royal Highness I trust I will be your guide ...

1054
01:07:41,362 --> 01:07:43,087
May I teach you your first Swedish word?

1055
01:07:43,929 --> 01:07:44,845
Skaal.

1056
01:07:47,231 --> 01:07:48,435
Skaal.

1057
01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:49,302
Skaal.

1058
01:07:49,593 --> 01:07:50,875
Sk.. skaal.

1059
01:08:08,433 --> 01:08:10,630
Well, you submitted a
remarkable request, Bernadotte.

1060
01:08:12,056 --> 01:08:13,713
You wish to surrender your French citizenship.

1061
01:08:13,713 --> 01:08:14,983
and resign from the army.

1062
01:08:17,635 --> 01:08:19,720
I can respect a man's desires to ascent a throne

1063
01:08:19,959 --> 01:08:22,583
but to changes his nationality is
extremely incomprehensible.

1064
01:08:24,406 --> 01:08:27,961
My brother Joseph is King of Spain,
and he remains a French citizen.

1065
01:08:28,872 --> 01:08:31,346
Louis King of Holland but he would't
like anybody calling him a Dutchman.

1066
01:08:32,298 --> 01:08:35,792
Jerome of Westphalia, Marshal Murat,
Caroline's husband

1067
01:08:36,486 --> 01:08:40,116
King of Naples, all rulers,
yet all still Frenchmen.

1068
01:08:40,925 --> 01:08:45,498
Madame Bernadotte have you given
considerable thoughts to this matter?

1069
01:08:46,071 --> 01:08:47,125
I have sir.

1070
01:08:47,602 --> 01:08:49,141
Do you know where Sweden is?

1071
01:08:49,859 --> 01:08:50,832
The North Pole.

1072
01:08:51,635 --> 01:08:53,207
Crown Princess of Icicle land.

1073
01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:56,999
And always in want, tell her something
of Swedish court ceremony.

1074
01:08:57,764 --> 01:08:58,922
It is very rigid madam.

1075
01:08:59,681 --> 01:09:02,309
The Swedish Royal House
is extremely conventional.

1076
01:09:04,435 --> 01:09:06,258
My feet hurt sire, may I sit down?

1077
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:11,933
The Swedish Royal House is also mad.

1078
01:09:12,534 --> 01:09:14,975
The present king is incapable of
pronounce one coherent sentence.

1079
01:09:15,622 --> 01:09:17,954
The one before he was deposed
because he was insane.

1080
01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:21,316
Really.

1081
01:09:24,308 --> 01:09:25,893
Since I hope to join that monarchy, sire.

1082
01:09:26,522 --> 01:09:27,905
I must ask you not to insult it.

1083
01:09:28,822 --> 01:09:29,827
I request your decision.

1084
01:09:37,841 --> 01:09:39,915
Your majesty, England has been breaking...

1085
01:09:40,185 --> 01:09:42,617
our continental blockade through Sweden.

1086
01:09:49,132 --> 01:09:50,290
What a joke on the English...

1087
01:09:51,439 --> 01:09:53,329
A French Marshal on the Swedish throne.

1088
01:09:54,889 --> 01:09:56,472
Very well, Bernadotte, go to Sweden.

1089
01:09:57,399 --> 01:09:59,434
But of course I can not allow you
to renounce your citizenship.

1090
01:10:00,111 --> 01:10:01,024
It would be impossible.

1091
01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:02,473
I will call upon you

1092
01:10:02,714 --> 01:10:04,148
should the frontiers of France need defending.

1093
01:10:05,026 --> 01:10:07,743
That will not become necessary since
France no longer have any frontiers.

1094
01:10:08,634 --> 01:10:10,928
His majesty's suggesting
that with you in Stockholm.

1095
01:10:11,498 --> 01:10:13,743
the...shall we say interests...

1096
01:10:14,426 --> 01:10:16,540
of France and Sweden would always coincide.

1097
01:10:18,948 --> 01:10:20,952
I should, of course, always serve
the interest of Sweden.

1098
01:10:24,639 --> 01:10:26,222
And the interests of France.

1099
01:10:28,238 --> 01:10:30,213
I should serve the interest of my former country

1100
01:10:30,877 --> 01:10:33,050
whenever they do not conflict
with the interest of Sweden.

1101
01:10:38,694 --> 01:10:41,201
Can it possible be that you have forgotten...

1102
01:10:41,426 --> 01:10:43,250
what your former country meant to you?

1103
01:10:44,748 --> 01:10:47,366
Can it be that you've forgotten
the battles which you fought

1104
01:10:47,609 --> 01:10:49,075
and the army which you led?

1105
01:10:50,178 --> 01:10:52,881
It is possible that you have
forgotten the ideals of your youth?

1106
01:10:54,612 --> 01:10:56,165
I remember the ideals of my youth, sire.

1107
01:10:57,370 --> 01:10:58,997
But at times when I feel
that I have been betrayed.

1108
01:11:02,822 --> 01:11:03,472
Go on.

1109
01:11:04,774 --> 01:11:06,385
I've watch you juggle the thrones of Europe...

1110
01:11:07,909 --> 01:11:09,299
I've seen you makes kings and queens...

1111
01:11:09,299 --> 01:11:10,461
with your brothers and sisters...

1112
01:11:11,659 --> 01:11:14,273
Theirs subjects despise them.

1113
01:11:15,444 --> 01:11:17,461
I will not be a puppet to be move for your pleasure...

1114
01:11:18,556 --> 01:11:21,464
If I go to Sweden it will be as the
swedish crown prince or not at all.

1115
01:11:22,647 --> 01:11:24,663
Sweden may not posses the grandeur of Spain...

1116
01:11:25,281 --> 01:11:26,323
the climates of Naples,

1117
01:11:27,254 --> 01:11:28,837
It possesses something far richer...

1118
01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:30,748
a free parliament.

1119
01:11:31,548 --> 01:11:33,220
It has chosen me to rule it freely.

1120
01:11:34,478 --> 01:11:35,922
I will govern according with my own ideas...

1121
01:11:36,299 --> 01:11:37,580
and those of my people.

1122
01:11:40,604 --> 01:11:43,191
Will you remind him that hi is a Frenchman

1123
01:11:44,464 --> 01:11:46,948
and his emperor has the right to command him!

1124
01:11:47,305 --> 01:11:48,380
You were born to command, sire.

1125
01:11:49,571 --> 01:11:51,080
I was not born  to obey.

1126
01:11:53,131 --> 01:11:54,853
You will remain a marshal of France.

1127
01:11:56,012 --> 01:11:58,774
and when there's a new war,
you will lead one of my armies...

1128
01:11:59,732 --> 01:12:02,287
and furthermore you will add your
Swedish regiments to ours!

1129
01:12:04,844 --> 01:12:06,426
Would you make me a greater man than yourself

1130
01:12:07,070 --> 01:12:08,836
by obliging me to refuse a crown?

1131
01:12:17,941 --> 01:12:19,548
Madame, is this your wish?

1132
01:12:21,974 --> 01:12:23,092
It is my wish, sire.

1133
01:12:23,406 --> 01:12:25,403
Very well, I see you have your
interest, and I have mine.

1134
01:12:50,878 --> 01:12:52,598
Your Royal Highness will love Stockholm.

1135
01:12:52,972 --> 01:12:54,082
It's a beautiful city.

1136
01:12:54,974 --> 01:12:57,026
They called it the Venice of the North.

1137
01:12:58,259 --> 01:13:00,130
I prefer the Venice of the South.

1138
01:13:02,345 --> 01:13:03,545
I put on my woollen underdrawers

1139
01:13:03,843 --> 01:13:05,059
but I'm still freezing!

1140
01:13:06,575 --> 01:13:08,865
Don't worry nobody are
going to look under my skirts.

1141
01:14:35,095 --> 01:14:36,591
I hate palaces!

1142
01:14:39,850 --> 01:14:42,415
Well, literally the royal family
request that you stop sliding

1143
01:14:42,662 --> 01:14:44,187
across the throne room with Oscar.

1144
01:14:45,163 --> 01:14:46,790
Desiree you must learn a little restraint.

1145
01:14:47,658 --> 01:14:49,248
That's the most difficult thing of all.

1146
01:15:12,512 --> 01:15:13,976
I just can't cope with any of it!

1147
01:15:14,246 --> 01:15:15,051
Not any of it!

1148
01:15:15,417 --> 01:15:18,251
I walk wrong, I curtsy wrong, I talk wrong.

1149
01:15:18,494 --> 01:15:19,844
I can't even manage the names.

1150
01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:21,981
Countess Lewenhaupt.

1151
01:15:21,981 --> 01:15:21,981
Baron Lewenhelm.

1152
01:15:25,195 --> 01:15:26,789
Chancellor Wederstaed.

1153
01:15:27,196 --> 01:15:29,830
Dorfningholm, and Durogartem.

1154
01:15:30,179 --> 01:15:31,739
Everything is with a umlaut.

1155
01:15:32,708 --> 01:15:34,417
The Royal Family has suggested a few tutors.

1156
01:15:34,830 --> 01:15:37,574
Tutors, John? I haven't been able to
learn anything since I was ten.

1157
01:15:40,208 --> 01:15:44,244
Oh, I'll try, I'll try.

1158
01:15:46,426 --> 01:15:47,951
Lu-ven-haupt.

1159
01:15:49,174 --> 01:15:50,652
Lu-end-Haupt.

1160
01:15:51,290 --> 01:15:53,729
Lu- Ven- Haupt.

1161
01:15:55,042 --> 01:15:56,835
Lu- Ven- Haupt.

1162
01:16:10,985 --> 01:16:14,533
But when I aught in spring appears...

1163
01:16:15,171 --> 01:16:21,966
The flowers will remember...

1164
01:16:22,656 --> 01:16:23,738
Oh...

1165
01:16:23,966 --> 01:16:27,348
Cold and White in the winter night...

1166
01:16:28,149 --> 01:16:31,352
Lies the drifted snow...

1167
01:16:31,677 --> 01:16:33,463
Snow...

1168
01:16:36,556 --> 01:16:38,494
I wanted to ask you my dear daughter...

1169
01:16:38,738 --> 01:16:40,786
whether you feel you are fulfilling your duties.

1170
01:16:41,013 --> 01:16:42,790
as crown princess of Sweden.

1171
01:16:44,169 --> 01:16:45,598
I don't know your Majesty.

1172
01:16:47,116 --> 01:16:48,430
You don't know, my dear daughter?

1173
01:16:49,275 --> 01:16:52,871
Well I can't judge, I'd never
been a crown princess before.

1174
01:16:53,344 --> 01:16:56,258
It's extremely unfortunate that you do not know.

1175
01:16:57,408 --> 01:17:01,150
but I'll tell you how a crown
princess does not fulfill her duties.

1176
01:17:02,353 --> 01:17:05,641
A crown princess does not fall asleep in public.

1177
01:17:06,441 --> 01:17:10,445
At court functions, she remains
awake and converses graciously.

1178
01:17:11,256 --> 01:17:13,319
She does not act as she was deaf and dumb.

1179
01:17:14,878 --> 01:17:18,787
I am sorry, your Majesty, but I keep still
so as not to embarrass my husband.

1180
01:17:19,597 --> 01:17:22,273
I sometimes say things which
proof to be embarrassing.

1181
01:17:22,932 --> 01:17:24,965
A crown princess does not allow her servants

1182
01:17:25,245 --> 01:17:26,914
to call her by her name.

1183
01:17:27,307 --> 01:17:29,763
Marie? But she has called me Desiree all my life.

1184
01:17:30,561 --> 01:17:34,160
A crown princess does not
wander in the streets alone.

1185
01:17:34,160 --> 01:17:35,702
Inspecting the silk stores.

1186
01:17:36,059 --> 01:17:37,848
And why not? I used to be in the business

1187
01:17:38,563 --> 01:17:40,860
I must insist that you forget that you used to be!

1188
01:17:41,086 --> 01:17:43,333
I'm sorry your Majesty but I
forget nothing or nobody!

1189
01:17:43,790 --> 01:17:45,004
You will have to in the future.

1190
01:17:45,751 --> 01:17:48,098
Your behavior is already
one burden to the Swedes people.

1191
01:17:48,866 --> 01:17:51,011
Do not permit your origin to become another.

1192
01:17:51,705 --> 01:17:52,766
If I may leave now.

1193
01:17:52,766 --> 01:17:53,721
No, you may not.

1194
01:17:53,721 --> 01:17:55,305
I am leaving your Majesty.

1195
01:17:57,821 --> 01:17:59,028
I am leaving Sweden.

1196
01:18:10,941 --> 01:18:12,324
May I announce your Royal Highness?

1197
01:18:12,559 --> 01:18:14,837
No, thank you. I'm accustomed to seeing
my husband without being announced.

1198
01:18:15,228 --> 01:18:16,591
But I'm obliged to announce you.

1199
01:18:16,888 --> 01:18:17,687
Who obliges you to?

1200
01:18:18,239 --> 01:18:19,910
Tradition, your Royal Highness, for centuries...

1201
01:18:19,910 --> 01:18:22,155
Oh, don't threat, I won't upset
your tradition much longer.

1202
01:18:26,614 --> 01:18:27,884
Your Royal Highness.

1203
01:18:28,244 --> 01:18:28,912
Your Royal Highness.

1204
01:18:29,495 --> 01:18:30,775
Is there something particular, Desiree?

1205
01:18:30,775 --> 01:18:32,045
Yes, I wish to speak to you.

1206
01:18:33,629 --> 01:18:35,137
I'll wait until you've finished.

1207
01:18:42,867 --> 01:18:45,547
It's a question of breaking trade with England.

1208
01:18:45,761 --> 01:18:46,963
Or defying Napoleon.

1209
01:18:48,150 --> 01:18:49,369
There are no other choices.

1210
01:18:50,285 --> 01:18:52,119
We must maintain peace with Napoleon.

1211
01:18:52,476 --> 01:18:54,938
Napoleon's idea of peace is no one
should mention or oppose him.

1212
01:18:55,306 --> 01:18:57,086
I will not allow him to dictate our trade policies.

1213
01:18:57,914 --> 01:19:00,372
If your Royal Highness keep to that
there will be resistance.

1214
01:19:01,161 --> 01:19:03,266
I hope you can considerer your own position.

1215
01:19:05,376 --> 01:19:07,541
I fully realize that I am still on
probation here in Sweden...

1216
01:19:08,130 --> 01:19:08,746
You are...uh...

1217
01:19:12,771 --> 01:19:14,473
Gentlemen, I believe we'll consider
this another time.

1218
01:19:30,132 --> 01:19:31,696
Now if you'll tell me what is so important...

1219
01:19:31,958 --> 01:19:33,571
that a council of state must stop for it?

1220
01:19:35,879 --> 01:19:37,538
I had a dreadful scene with the Queen.

1221
01:19:38,906 --> 01:19:41,683
I was unspeakable, but so was she.

1222
01:19:44,008 --> 01:19:46,368
Don't be angry with me
Jean Baptiste, please, don't...

1223
01:19:46,597 --> 01:19:47,410
How can I not be angry?

1224
01:19:48,124 --> 01:19:49,511
Didn't you hear what we were discussing?

1225
01:19:50,259 --> 01:19:52,012
Do you do any effort to know what's
going on in the world?

1226
01:19:53,117 --> 01:19:54,893
Napoleon's set on a new blood bath in Europe...

1227
01:19:55,647 --> 01:19:58,265
Someone must stop him somewhere,
and you want me to concern myself with

1228
01:19:58,265 --> 01:19:59,836
a spat between you and the Queen.?

1229
01:20:01,933 --> 01:20:03,565
Well, whatever it's about,
perhaps the Queen is right.

1230
01:20:08,651 --> 01:20:10,428
I came to tell you that I'm leaving.

1231
01:20:17,376 --> 01:20:18,445
I'm going home.

1232
01:20:30,872 --> 01:20:31,704
You are home.

1233
01:20:33,213 --> 01:20:34,092
I'm sorry Desiree.

1234
01:20:35,100 --> 01:20:36,565
I'm tired, I'm upset these days.

1235
01:20:44,472 --> 01:20:44,991
Look.

1236
01:20:46,334 --> 01:20:47,806
There's Oscar in the front rank.

1237
01:21:02,076 --> 01:21:04,467
Why do they always
march into battle with music.?

1238
01:21:05,454 --> 01:21:06,463
It help them to keep in step.

1239
01:21:08,013 --> 01:21:09,087
He'll make a goodn soldier.

1240
01:21:11,299 --> 01:21:12,793
Some day he'll make a good prince.

1241
01:21:13,359 --> 01:21:15,246
And a good king like his father.

1242
01:21:17,930 --> 01:21:19,412
Do you know what they call his mother?

1243
01:21:21,541 --> 01:21:22,305
A foreigner.

1244
01:21:25,510 --> 01:21:28,064
That is why I must return to France.
I only embarrass you here.

1245
01:21:28,942 --> 01:21:32,511
I lower your prestige more every day.
Say you'll let me go, Jean.

1246
01:21:33,567 --> 01:21:34,754
Do not ask me to say it.

1247
01:21:37,552 --> 01:21:39,341
When your position here is stronger,

1248
01:21:40,219 --> 01:21:42,770
and the people accept you
completely, I will come back.

1249
01:21:43,148 --> 01:21:44,170
When will that be?

1250
01:21:44,981 --> 01:21:47,503
Not until Napoleon is stopped there
will be any security for me.

1251
01:21:47,862 --> 01:21:48,680
Or peace for anyone.

1252
01:21:50,154 --> 01:21:51,161
I cannot let you go.

1253
01:21:51,161 --> 01:21:52,240
I cannot do it without you.

1254
01:21:52,240 --> 01:21:53,852
Dear, you cannot do with me.

1255
01:21:54,141 --> 01:21:56,018
There's too much at stake! You know it.

1256
01:22:00,130 --> 01:22:01,607
Why do you look at me like that?

1257
01:22:03,006 --> 01:22:03,903
Because you are right.

1258
01:22:05,072 --> 01:22:05,921
Because I love you.

1259
01:22:08,230 --> 01:22:09,365
Because he will see you again.

1260
01:22:14,651 --> 01:22:18,526
When it's spring in Paris, I'll go to our bridge.

1261
01:22:20,444 --> 01:22:23,813
Look out at the Seine, and remember.

1262
01:22:52,259 --> 01:22:53,235
Let's go back to the table.

1263
01:22:58,248 --> 01:22:59,505
I'm so glad I made you come.

1264
01:23:00,508 --> 01:23:01,747
After all, it's an occasion.

1265
01:23:02,526 --> 01:23:05,011
And you've been here
eight months, living like a nun.

1266
01:23:06,304 --> 01:23:07,289
Skaal.

1267
01:23:07,289 --> 01:23:08,265
Happy new year, Desiree.

1268
01:23:16,745 --> 01:23:17,868
The emperor.

1269
01:23:44,312 --> 01:23:47,111
I regret that affairs of state
kept me from joining you until now.

1270
01:23:47,892 --> 01:23:51,195
Now I asked my son to be with us here on
this eve, from this great year for France.

1271
01:23:52,526 --> 01:23:55,235
To the health of his young majesty.

1272
01:23:55,682 --> 01:23:56,478
It's for you.

1273
01:24:09,004 --> 01:24:10,045
He's damp.

1274
01:24:12,117 --> 01:24:13,059
Precious.

1275
01:24:23,591 --> 01:24:26,154
I heard that your royal highness return
to France some time ago.

1276
01:24:27,122 --> 01:24:29,391
May I ask what caused for
you to leave your own country?

1277
01:24:30,163 --> 01:24:31,118
The cold, sire.

1278
01:24:31,571 --> 01:24:32,417
So, the cold.

1279
01:24:33,395 --> 01:24:36,124
Member of visiting royal houses
usually request an audience...

1280
01:24:36,387 --> 01:24:37,491
when they visit my capital.

1281
01:24:38,859 --> 01:24:39,768
Court courtesy.

1282
01:24:40,582 --> 01:24:42,584
I did not think your
majesty overly concern himself

1283
01:24:42,584 --> 01:24:44,018
with matters of courtesy.

1284
01:24:46,341 --> 01:24:49,269
You well. Madame,
since you're no longer a citizen,

1285
01:24:50,156 --> 01:24:52,091
you remain in France
because of my courtesy.

1286
01:25:14,172 --> 01:25:16,728
1,2,3...1,2,3..

1287
01:25:17,020 --> 01:25:18,048
You do well your majesty.

1288
01:25:18,796 --> 01:25:20,632
I was taught well your royal highness.

1289
01:25:27,429 --> 01:25:29,284
That must be the real
reason why she left Sweden.

1290
01:25:29,740 --> 01:25:31,983
Yes, she's still in love with him.

1291
01:25:34,491 --> 01:25:36,430
He's still in love with her, I'm sure of it.

1292
01:25:37,190 --> 01:25:38,945
My brother and his affairs, he's such a fool.

1293
01:25:41,223 --> 01:25:43,013
When do you plan to
return to Stockholm, Madame?

1294
01:25:43,581 --> 01:25:45,377
When it is no longer cold there, sire.

1295
01:25:49,090 --> 01:25:49,968
Do you not miss your son?

1296
01:25:50,588 --> 01:25:52,603
Only a little less than I miss his father.

1297
01:25:59,954 --> 01:26:02,102
In the meantime your husband
is playing a dangerous game.

1298
01:26:02,610 --> 01:26:05,019
Reports reach me that Sweden
is discussing alliance with Russia.

1299
01:26:05,844 --> 01:26:06,744
Now, how truth is this?

1300
01:26:07,523 --> 01:26:09,585
I only know that Sweden
wishes to remain at peace.

1301
01:26:10,823 --> 01:26:11,473
Impossible!

1302
01:26:12,122 --> 01:26:13,706
Time has come for choosing sides.

1303
01:26:14,580 --> 01:26:17,198
Do you realize that in a few days I will
send the greatest army of all times...

1304
01:26:17,901 --> 01:26:20,019
to Russia and if not Russia to England?

1305
01:26:21,007 --> 01:26:24,127
Urge your husband to win our friendship
not our enmity for your own safe.

1306
01:26:24,345 --> 01:26:25,885
I'm sorry but I Know nothing about politics.

1307
01:26:28,947 --> 01:26:30,863
You would do well to take me seriously.

1308
01:26:31,593 --> 01:26:34,203
You forget I was the first person
who ever took you seriously.

1309
01:26:38,281 --> 01:26:39,678
You've developed Desiree.

1310
01:26:43,533 --> 01:26:44,362
Ladies and Gentlemen,

1311
01:26:45,407 --> 01:26:47,801
answer me, has the nation
ever had such a lovely hostage?

1312
01:26:50,858 --> 01:26:51,470
You laugh?

1313
01:26:53,180 --> 01:26:56,078
Earlier I was working on
an order to Marshal Davout...

1314
01:26:56,930 --> 01:26:58,450
it instruct him to march across Sweden

1315
01:26:58,762 --> 01:27:00,483
to cover the left flank
of our approach to Russia.

1316
01:27:01,305 --> 01:27:03,287
Technically that puts us at war with Sweden.

1317
01:27:03,838 --> 01:27:06,162
and her royal highness is my hostage.

1318
01:27:06,777 --> 01:27:08,208
But I offer her my protection.

1319
01:27:10,292 --> 01:27:11,461
And for the first act of the new year was

1320
01:27:11,690 --> 01:27:13,380
the disregard of the neutrality of another country.

1321
01:27:13,674 --> 01:27:14,099
No.

1322
01:27:14,705 --> 01:27:16,001
My last act in the old year.

1323
01:27:20,898 --> 01:27:22,197
The church-bells will ring with our victories.

1324
01:27:22,917 --> 01:27:25,748
Before next new year's
eve I will sleep in Moscow.

1325
01:28:18,967 --> 01:28:20,723
Desiree! Desiree!

1326
01:28:20,723 --> 01:28:22,563
Oh, Marie, thank the
lord it was a dream!

1327
01:28:23,335 --> 01:28:24,777
It was terrible Marie!

1328
01:28:24,986 --> 01:28:26,437
I saw Oscar on the battlefield.

1329
01:28:26,830 --> 01:28:29,673
He was all grown-up and wounded
and bleeding and blood everywhere.

1330
01:28:30,714 --> 01:28:31,773
Bonaparte is here, Desiree.

1331
01:28:33,953 --> 01:28:34,681
He's here.

1332
01:28:36,133 --> 01:28:38,934
He has return from Moscow, just now.

1333
01:28:57,475 --> 01:28:58,776
Allow me, Your Royal Highness.

1334
01:28:59,357 --> 01:29:01,545
I am General Coulaincourt, the Emperor's Aide.

1335
01:29:06,730 --> 01:29:08,336
No one in Paris knows that we have returned.

1336
01:29:09,803 --> 01:29:11,574
We have ridden for many days and nights.

1337
01:29:15,533 --> 01:29:17,275
Did you obtain that dressing gown in Sweden?

1338
01:29:20,649 --> 01:29:21,971
No, it's from Paris.

1339
01:29:23,712 --> 01:29:24,522
Very becoming.

1340
01:29:26,474 --> 01:29:28,037
Marie bring some brandy, please.

1341
01:29:32,967 --> 01:29:34,185
You seem surprise to see me.

1342
01:29:35,876 --> 01:29:36,430
Of course.

1343
01:29:38,250 --> 01:29:39,673
And yet we're old friends.

1344
01:29:40,937 --> 01:29:41,753
As I remember.

1345
01:29:44,162 --> 01:29:45,656
Why should you be surprised at my visit?

1346
01:29:47,847 --> 01:29:48,464
The late hour

1347
01:29:50,581 --> 01:29:52,273
and the fact that you come unshaven.

1348
01:29:55,557 --> 01:29:56,795
Yes, forgive me.

1349
01:29:58,030 --> 01:29:59,951
I seen to have forgotten about it

1350
01:30:00,763 --> 01:30:01,546
in the last few days.

1351
01:30:01,954 --> 01:30:02,880
May I ask why...-

1352
01:30:03,155 --> 01:30:05,838
No, no, you may not ask...anything.

1353
01:30:13,862 --> 01:30:16,366
Coulaincourt, I should like to be
alone with your royal higness

1354
01:30:16,833 --> 01:30:17,842
if you don't mind.

1355
01:30:18,171 --> 01:30:18,850
Thank you, sire.

1356
01:30:20,509 --> 01:30:21,488
Your royal Highness.

1357
01:30:27,785 --> 01:30:31,343
I was about to ask why I'm honored
with this unexpected call.

1358
01:30:32,959 --> 01:30:34,500
This call is no honor.

1359
01:30:39,141 --> 01:30:40,290
I'm here on a mission.

1360
01:30:49,028 --> 01:30:50,735
I have come from the steppes of Russia.

1361
01:30:50,961 --> 01:30:52,458
Where my soldiers lies buried

1362
01:30:54,495 --> 01:30:56,239
The ones that still lives are snowblind.

1363
01:30:56,589 --> 01:30:58,574
and they whimper and cry like children

1364
01:30:58,574 --> 01:31:00,755
who do not understand
what has happened to them.

1365
01:31:04,072 --> 01:31:05,210
I have come from a land

1366
01:31:06,175 --> 01:31:09,523
where men crawl under
dead comrades to keep warm.

1367
01:31:11,100 --> 01:31:12,757
How can I send a shawl?

1368
01:31:14,807 --> 01:31:16,356
I knitted a shawl for my nephew.

1369
01:31:17,996 --> 01:31:19,037
Help me to get it to him.

1370
01:31:19,328 --> 01:31:20,097
He needs it there.

1371
01:31:21,854 --> 01:31:23,136
I have the number of his regiment.

1372
01:31:23,136 --> 01:31:24,393
He would be easy to find.

1373
01:31:24,393 --> 01:31:25,822
Your majesty has couriers.

1374
01:31:26,050 --> 01:31:29,673
He needs his shawl, this
warm shawl I'm knitting.

1375
01:31:34,815 --> 01:31:39,144
A shawl to Russia for my 100,000 dead,

1376
01:31:39,618 --> 01:31:40,855
For my frozen grenadiers.

1377
01:31:43,112 --> 01:31:46,526
A gray, warm shawl for my Grand Army.

1378
01:31:48,772 --> 01:31:49,715
Go to bed, dearest.

1379
01:32:15,254 --> 01:32:18,197
Do you know who met with the Czar
before the battle of Moscow?

1380
01:32:20,555 --> 01:32:22,410
Do you know who
advised him to burn the city

1381
01:32:22,410 --> 01:32:24,058
so that my troops could not winter there?

1382
01:32:25,339 --> 01:32:26,371
Do you know who suggested that

1383
01:32:26,590 --> 01:32:28,286
I be taking prisoner during my retreat?

1384
01:32:29,326 --> 01:32:32,271
Yes, I'm sure I know. My husband.

1385
01:32:32,789 --> 01:32:33,863
Yes, your husband.

1386
01:32:35,965 --> 01:32:37,788
Your husband, I want
you to write him a letter.

1387
01:32:39,883 --> 01:32:41,692
A personal letter, immediately.

1388
01:32:44,312 --> 01:32:45,297
Perhaps if it comes from you...

1389
01:32:45,560 --> 01:32:48,068
he might remember that he
once was a Frenchman.

1390
01:32:49,870 --> 01:32:51,451
I want you to tell him that
I have returned to Paris

1391
01:32:51,740 --> 01:32:53,219
to prepare the final defeat of my enemies.

1392
01:32:54,879 --> 01:32:56,004
Tell him that I offer him an alliance.

1393
01:32:57,708 --> 01:33:00,831
And tell him that I would like Marshal
Bernadotte to march by my side once again.

1394
01:33:02,655 --> 01:33:04,086
And that is why you came to see me.

1395
01:33:06,654 --> 01:33:07,337
Yes.

1396
01:33:11,113 --> 01:33:12,078
and of course I was...

1397
01:33:14,401 --> 01:33:16,545
cold and tired and alone.

1398
01:34:02,597 --> 01:34:04,486
"Jean-Baptoiste has answered the letter...

1399
01:34:05,866 --> 01:34:09,041
and his answer is he will
march against Napoleon...

1400
01:34:09,509 --> 01:34:10,570
not with him."

1401
01:34:16,845 --> 01:34:17,986
"Napoleon is defeated...

1402
01:34:18,900 --> 01:34:21,189
and Jean had led one
of the armies which fought him."

1403
01:34:23,973 --> 01:34:25,840
"The allied troops
are about to enter Paris."

1404
01:34:29,181 --> 01:34:30,903
"How I hope Jean is with them."

1405
01:34:52,554 --> 01:34:53,623
Oh, Jean.

1406
01:35:17,798 --> 01:35:20,024
I read that you might seek a divorce...

1407
01:35:22,415 --> 01:35:25,113
In order to marry a Russian Grand Duchess.

1408
01:35:27,384 --> 01:35:31,491
To strengthen the alliance
between Russia and Sweden.

1409
01:35:32,438 --> 01:35:34,095
Don't believe everything you read.

1410
01:35:39,203 --> 01:35:40,714
If you think it would be wise...

1411
01:35:43,873 --> 01:35:45,480
I would make only one condition.

1412
01:35:47,675 --> 01:35:49,123
That I become your mistress.

1413
01:35:51,907 --> 01:35:54,657
It's impossible. Too expensive.

1414
01:35:56,713 --> 01:35:58,622
You'll simply have to remain my wife.

1415
01:36:12,860 --> 01:36:14,890
I killed many Frenchmen on
my way back to this bridge.

1416
01:36:18,521 --> 01:36:20,832
At Leipzig he sent my
old regiments against me.

1417
01:36:21,387 --> 01:36:22,763
Men I'd fought with as comrades.

1418
01:36:23,722 --> 01:36:25,581
I reviewed them as prisoner of war.

1419
01:36:26,103 --> 01:36:27,876
Don't torture yourself, darling.

1420
01:36:29,074 --> 01:36:30,246
Now I go to face him.

1421
01:36:30,866 --> 01:36:32,282
the last link in the chain.

1422
01:36:33,274 --> 01:36:34,072
I pray...

1423
01:36:38,020 --> 01:36:40,677
Jean, I want to come back.

1424
01:36:44,806 --> 01:36:48,422
I never knew how lonely it could be
to be alone, until you left.

1425
01:36:48,886 --> 01:36:49,656
Soon?

1426
01:36:50,545 --> 01:36:52,529
Very soon.

1427
01:36:53,235 --> 01:36:54,273
Now that we're rid of him.

1428
01:37:01,498 --> 01:37:03,058
Thank you for choosing the Island of Elba.

1429
01:37:04,178 --> 01:37:05,629
It will remind me of my birthplace.

1430
01:37:07,266 --> 01:37:09,481
Vegetation in there is not too
unlike of that of Corsica.

1431
01:37:16,788 --> 01:37:17,093
Well.

1432
01:37:19,320 --> 01:37:20,962
Well, gentlemen I'm ready for exile.

1433
01:37:25,814 --> 01:37:26,786
Bernadotte.

1434
01:37:38,793 --> 01:37:41,202
I have nothing in common
with those other friends of yours.

1435
01:37:42,989 --> 01:37:44,942
But you, a man who rose from the ranks...

1436
01:37:46,436 --> 01:37:48,948
A soldier whose loyalty I've always cherished.

1437
01:37:51,823 --> 01:37:54,408
Your deployment at Leipzig
against me was brilliant.

1438
01:37:56,423 --> 01:37:57,845
The tactics of a genius.

1439
01:37:59,371 --> 01:38:02,366
That is true. I learned them from you.

1440
01:38:04,071 --> 01:38:05,555
French standard's in the dirt.

1441
01:38:13,569 --> 01:38:14,826
Tell me Bernadotte.

1442
01:38:16,823 --> 01:38:18,317
Did you enjoy your triumph?

1443
01:38:20,271 --> 01:38:21,297
How did you feel?

1444
01:38:22,612 --> 01:38:23,687
In despair.

1445
01:38:24,781 --> 01:38:26,117
Despair.

1446
01:38:28,242 --> 01:38:33,154
Well, that at least, is becoming to the most
illustrious traitor France has ever known.

1447
01:38:35,984 --> 01:38:38,034
History will determine which of us was the traitor.

1448
01:38:39,433 --> 01:38:41,286
But even if it affords you any satisfaction...

1449
01:38:42,457 --> 01:38:44,573
know that when I leave
your sight, I leave France.

1450
01:38:46,004 --> 01:38:47,990
I will never be back.

1451
01:38:57,489 --> 01:39:00,111
There is the difference. I will be back.

1452
01:39:05,511 --> 01:39:06,898
"He has escape from Elba..."

1453
01:39:08,159 --> 01:39:09,249
"It will be more war."

1454
01:39:10,554 --> 01:39:12,358
"How will I ever get back to Sweden?"

1455
01:39:15,511 --> 01:39:17,171
"There has been a battle at Waterloo."

1456
01:39:18,054 --> 01:39:20,589
"And now Napoleaon is
barricade at Malmaison."

1457
01:39:20,998 --> 01:39:22,375
"And want to fight to the death."

1458
01:39:22,754 --> 01:39:24,036
"At the gates of Paris."

1459
01:39:24,869 --> 01:39:26,966
"There will be more killings, more blood."

1460
01:39:28,296 --> 01:39:30,052
"Napoleon must be stopped."

1461
01:39:30,431 --> 01:39:33,728
"Jean said it a long ago,
someone must stop him."

1462
01:39:34,218 --> 01:39:35,374
"Somewhere."

1463
01:39:36,779 --> 01:39:39,397
His own battalions
protect him at Malmaison.

1464
01:39:40,256 --> 01:39:41,830
Their bayonets are drawn.

1465
01:39:42,463 --> 01:39:44,792
If we try to cease him, more men will die.

1466
01:39:48,098 --> 01:39:50,897
Unless he is turn over
to the Allied Command tonight.

1467
01:39:51,623 --> 01:39:53,493
We cannot save Paris from destruction.

1468
01:39:54,669 --> 01:39:56,702
He is stubborn and bitter, Madam.

1469
01:39:57,707 --> 01:40:00,155
But you, you have known him well.

1470
01:40:00,929 --> 01:40:02,586
He's always seemed to...

1471
01:40:04,246 --> 01:40:05,840
perhaps a woman...

1472
01:40:59,152 --> 01:40:59,991
Desiree.

1473
01:41:00,516 --> 01:41:02,104
Her Royal Highnees
wishes to see the Emperor.

1474
01:41:02,874 --> 01:41:03,650
Oh, no...

1475
01:41:04,505 --> 01:41:05,864
Oh, just let me...

1476
01:41:06,937 --> 01:41:08,645
Desiree, he won't see you.

1477
01:41:58,326 --> 01:41:59,465
Why, Desiree...

1478
01:42:00,245 --> 01:42:01,657
I'm sorry if I startled you.

1479
01:42:04,908 --> 01:42:07,499
Well. I'm not accustomed
to having visitors here recently.

1480
01:42:10,236 --> 01:42:12,718
But then, you and I, always
met, rather unexpectedly.

1481
01:42:14,138 --> 01:42:15,277
Won't you please sit down?

1482
01:42:26,541 --> 01:42:30,089
You know, I once asked you to walk in
this garden with me, and you refused.

1483
01:42:30,782 --> 01:42:33,168
Yes, I was afraid of you.

1484
01:42:34,439 --> 01:42:35,850
Well, you had reason to be.

1485
01:42:39,903 --> 01:42:44,492
You know Desiree, that hat doesn't
suit you at all. Not at all.

1486
01:42:44,750 --> 01:42:45,739
May I remove it?

1487
01:42:47,266 --> 01:42:48,729
I'm here for a purpose.

1488
01:42:49,466 --> 01:42:50,431
I'm sure you are.

1489
01:42:54,640 --> 01:42:56,116
Do you remember when we first met?

1490
01:42:58,450 --> 01:43:00,540
That was the night you told
me you knew your destiny.

1491
01:43:02,676 --> 01:43:04,086
That was the first night I kissed you.

1492
01:43:06,480 --> 01:43:09,036
You were thinking about my dowry, General.

1493
01:43:12,284 --> 01:43:14,485
No, not entirely.

1494
01:43:16,082 --> 01:43:17,310
Truly not entirely.

1495
01:43:20,842 --> 01:43:24,158
I wonder what my destiny
would have been had I married you.

1496
01:43:26,245 --> 01:43:27,607
The same, I think.

1497
01:43:29,495 --> 01:43:30,276
Perhaps.

1498
01:43:31,467 --> 01:43:34,180
But the history of Empires
often depends on such trifles.

1499
01:43:36,004 --> 01:43:37,498
So does the history of people.

1500
01:43:39,663 --> 01:43:40,361
Yes.

1501
01:43:42,093 --> 01:43:43,406
Well, you're here on a mission.

1502
01:43:45,800 --> 01:43:47,688
I bring you a message
from the French Government.

1503
01:43:48,793 --> 01:43:50,468
You were sent to me as a courier?

1504
01:43:52,712 --> 01:43:54,838
Do they think I'll be
swayed by sentiment?

1505
01:43:55,251 --> 01:43:56,171
What a shabby device!

1506
01:43:56,171 --> 01:43:57,329
I wanted to come.

1507
01:43:58,382 --> 01:44:02,193
Yes,indee you always enjoy taking
the role of the courageous lady.

1508
01:44:02,193 --> 01:44:05,496
I'm not at all courageous, just the opposite.

1509
01:44:06,571 --> 01:44:08,817
But when there is a great deal
at stake I can make the effort.

1510
01:44:10,583 --> 01:44:13,706
I'm to tell you that the allies will
not accept the surrender of Paris.

1511
01:44:13,933 --> 01:44:15,332
Unless you leave France.

1512
01:44:16,330 --> 01:44:19,009
If you do not give yourself up today,
the city will be destroyed.

1513
01:44:19,512 --> 01:44:21,156
There's nothing you will let that message

1514
01:44:21,156 --> 01:44:23,420
to consent before you may
take it back with the same answer.

1515
01:44:23,759 --> 01:44:25,939
I can still mobilize 100,000...

1516
01:44:26,269 --> 01:44:27,939
And how many of them will die?

1517
01:44:29,062 --> 01:44:31,549
How many more men would lie
in they grave because of you?

1518
01:44:32,460 --> 01:44:34,494
How many more French mothers will hate you?

1519
01:44:35,323 --> 01:44:38,845
How many more children would grow up cursing
your name because they have no fathers?

1520
01:44:41,132 --> 01:44:44,223
I've to shed blood but only where it
was indicated.

1521
01:44:45,555 --> 01:44:47,913
What indicates it to you now?

1522
01:44:48,223 --> 01:44:49,187
Your destiny?

1523
01:45:12,753 --> 01:45:15,097
I judge my conduct by my conscience.

1524
01:45:16,225 --> 01:45:17,877
And my conscience is not troubled.

1525
01:45:20,739 --> 01:45:23,651
Day by day, I, too, gave my life for my country.

1526
01:45:30,864 --> 01:45:34,715
And yet, my mother did not
wish me to become emperor.

1527
01:45:36,589 --> 01:45:39,302
She did not even attend my coronation.

1528
01:45:41,448 --> 01:45:45,025
I made Caroline's husband a
marshall and he joined my enemies.

1529
01:45:45,710 --> 01:45:48,528
I made Bernadotte a marshall
and he fought me in the fields.

1530
01:45:54,709 --> 01:45:55,827
I made war...

1531
01:45:57,472 --> 01:45:59,209
in order to secure peace...

1532
01:46:01,651 --> 01:46:04,242
nor for a year, but for a dozen centuries...

1533
01:46:06,630 --> 01:46:08,904
I dreamed of a United States of Europe.

1534
01:46:11,917 --> 01:46:14,434
Frenchmen, Italians, Germans, Poles, Russians,...

1535
01:46:14,781 --> 01:46:16,194
And all the others...

1536
01:46:17,560 --> 01:46:20,292
One law, one coinage, one people.

1537
01:46:23,644 --> 01:46:25,387
Was that so rush a dream?

1538
01:46:30,006 --> 01:46:31,027
No.

1539
01:46:32,947 --> 01:46:34,526
Only the way you dreamed.

1540
01:46:40,315 --> 01:46:41,468
And now,

1541
01:46:43,149 --> 01:46:45,167
I'm to let myself be taken to that

1542
01:46:45,490 --> 01:46:49,375
godforsaken rock in the ocean- Saint Helena.

1543
01:46:52,433 --> 01:46:56,110
I returned from Elba but
I will never return from Saint Helena.

1544
01:46:58,695 --> 01:47:00,165
Is this what you ask?

1545
01:47:01,628 --> 01:47:03,234
It is what France ask.

1546
01:47:25,552 --> 01:47:29,306
It is customary to handle one's sword
to the officer taken one prisoner.

1547
01:47:30,073 --> 01:47:31,971
Bernadotte will explain it to you.

1548
01:47:34,886 --> 01:47:37,405
At this moment, I surrender to the allies.

1549
01:47:44,448 --> 01:47:46,340
Please don't hold it like un umbrella.

1550
01:47:52,743 --> 01:47:54,654
Good-bye Napoleone...

1551
01:48:01,805 --> 01:48:04,341
No one has called me that for a very long time.

1552
01:48:08,311 --> 01:48:11,318
Tell me Desiree, when did you begin
to fall out of love with me?

1553
01:48:13,678 --> 01:48:14,656
I don't know.

1554
01:48:16,216 --> 01:48:17,728
Somewhere along the way.

1555
01:48:21,898 --> 01:48:24,793
Strange our paths, your
and mine, and Bernadotte's.

1556
01:48:29,329 --> 01:48:31,409
You will go to Sweden and become a Queen.

1557
01:48:35,655 --> 01:48:37,659
The two must outstanding men of our time...

1558
01:48:37,884 --> 01:48:39,160
have been in love with you.

1559
01:48:40,146 --> 01:48:41,268
And you're no real beauty.

1560
01:48:41,268 --> 01:48:42,894
But you have a way with you.

1561
01:48:45,728 --> 01:48:48,183
Go and tell my brothers
to prepare for my departure.

1562
01:48:48,183 --> 01:48:49,791
I want to be alone for a while.

1563
01:48:59,278 --> 01:49:00,124
Desiree...

1564
01:49:01,992 --> 01:49:03,056
Our engagement...

1565
01:49:06,727 --> 01:49:08,569
it wasn't only the dowry...

1566
01:49:13,462 --> 01:49:15,135
Go along now, before I repent.
