1
00:00:11,078 --> 00:00:13,047
What would you give
to have me back?

2
00:00:13,047 --> 00:00:14,115
Everything.

3
00:00:14,115 --> 00:00:15,182
<i>Who is she?</i>

4
00:00:15,182 --> 00:00:16,450
<i>Your challenge.</i>

5
00:00:16,450 --> 00:00:17,718
Jacqueline de Montrachet.

6
00:00:17,718 --> 00:00:19,420
<i>If you could seduce her,</i>

7
00:00:19,420 --> 00:00:21,589
<i>and there must be proof--
a letter</i>

8
00:00:21,589 --> 00:00:22,723
from her to you.

9
00:00:22,723 --> 00:00:24,625
- Your late husband's son...
- Prévan.

10
00:00:24,625 --> 00:00:26,427
<i>Pascal Valmont.</i>

11
00:00:26,427 --> 00:00:28,662
<i>That man
has no place in my family.</i>

12
00:00:28,662 --> 00:00:31,298
He is disinherited
and penniless.

13
00:00:31,298 --> 00:00:33,634
It's Camille.
She always wore it.

14
00:00:33,634 --> 00:00:35,302
See that no one touches her.

15
00:00:35,302 --> 00:00:37,438
If you are in need
of comfort, I--

16
00:00:37,438 --> 00:00:39,774
Bring me the letter
my wife intended for me.

17
00:00:39,774 --> 00:00:43,110
Have you forgotten
your reputation is in my hands?

18
00:00:43,110 --> 00:00:45,446
Why do you not simply
cast her out?

19
00:00:45,446 --> 00:00:46,781
<i>Far better that she leave</i>

20
00:00:46,781 --> 00:00:48,416
<i>because she cannot bear
to stay.</i>

21
00:00:48,416 --> 00:00:50,584
I need to see the letter
Madame wrote.

22
00:00:50,584 --> 00:00:54,088
Ariadne!
She is saying, "Forgive me."

23
00:00:54,088 --> 00:00:55,556
- Be silent!
- <i>Victoire!</i>

24
00:00:56,657 --> 00:00:58,058
Victoire.

25
00:00:58,058 --> 00:00:59,193
I must forgive.

26
00:00:59,193 --> 00:01:00,294
To find the light.

27
00:01:00,294 --> 00:01:02,329
<i>Otherwise, the darkness here</i>

28
00:01:02,329 --> 00:01:04,198
<i>will overtake you.</i>

29
00:01:08,202 --> 00:01:10,838
Even God does not forgive.

30
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,423
<i>I've been asked
to recommend a girl</i>

31
00:01:29,423 --> 00:01:31,292
<i>from this orphanage,</i>

32
00:01:31,292 --> 00:01:34,728
<i>someone who can hold up
her head in a great house,</i>

33
00:01:34,728 --> 00:01:37,865
<i>someone who can serve
a fine couple.</i>

34
00:01:44,805 --> 00:01:47,308
I am Madame de Montrachet...

35
00:01:49,643 --> 00:01:51,679
...but I'll be a mother to you.

36
00:01:54,682 --> 00:01:57,485
<i>What were you thinking?</i>

37
00:01:57,485 --> 00:01:59,453
Call it an act of charity.

38
00:01:59,453 --> 00:02:00,855
As we speak,

39
00:02:00,855 --> 00:02:02,523
beggars all over the city

40
00:02:02,523 --> 00:02:04,892
are crying out
to be drenched in blood.

41
00:02:05,125 --> 00:02:07,228
Didn't I drive her
into your arms?

42
00:02:07,228 --> 00:02:08,496
And from them, into her home,

43
00:02:08,496 --> 00:02:10,698
from which
she is yet to emerge.

44
00:02:10,698 --> 00:02:12,633
You almost seem
concerned for her.

45
00:02:12,633 --> 00:02:14,268
She means nothing
to me, Camille.

46
00:02:14,268 --> 00:02:15,469
What is she to you?

47
00:02:15,469 --> 00:02:16,871
One moment,
you beg me to seduce her.

48
00:02:16,871 --> 00:02:18,272
The next, the very sight of her

49
00:02:18,272 --> 00:02:20,241
leads you to act
like a madwoman.

50
00:02:21,842 --> 00:02:23,744
<i>She's a friend of yours,
perhaps?</i>

51
00:02:23,744 --> 00:02:27,414
Nobody ever talks
about what the Baptists did.

52
00:02:27,414 --> 00:02:30,150
I hear Salome
was avenging her mother.

53
00:02:32,419 --> 00:02:33,654
Fail at the task I have set,

54
00:02:33,654 --> 00:02:35,689
you will never see
your letters again.

55
00:02:35,689 --> 00:02:37,858
Do not bring your recklessness
to my letters.

56
00:02:38,826 --> 00:02:40,661
There are rules to this.

57
00:02:42,162 --> 00:02:44,899
If I cannot understand you,
I cannot help you.

58
00:02:46,534 --> 00:02:48,769
Why do you hate
Madame de Montrachet?

59
00:02:48,769 --> 00:02:50,738
You do not need
to understand, Valmont.

60
00:02:50,738 --> 00:02:53,340
You simply need to do
as I ask you to.

61
00:02:53,340 --> 00:02:54,842
Then I'll put it another way.

62
00:02:54,842 --> 00:02:57,645
If I cannot understand you,
I cannot trust you.

63
00:02:57,645 --> 00:02:59,380
I am done with this.

64
00:02:59,380 --> 00:03:01,415
- You would not walk away.
- Why?

65
00:03:01,415 --> 00:03:04,552
Because you crave the return
of your beloved letters.

66
00:03:05,686 --> 00:03:07,288
Valmont.

67
00:03:08,455 --> 00:03:09,623
Valmont!

68
00:04:24,598 --> 00:04:27,501
Why so angry, Pascal?

69
00:04:30,904 --> 00:04:32,840
Is it money...

70
00:04:34,341 --> 00:04:35,476
...or women?

71
00:04:43,484 --> 00:04:45,386
A woman.

72
00:04:45,386 --> 00:04:46,887
<i>But which--</i>

73
00:04:46,887 --> 00:04:48,689
<i>the one you lost</i>

74
00:04:48,689 --> 00:04:49,890
or the one you seek?

75
00:05:38,672 --> 00:05:40,974
Ah. Bravo.

76
00:05:40,974 --> 00:05:42,576
I'd like to try
the last refrain one more time.

77
00:05:42,576 --> 00:05:45,512
Oh, my darling,
we really must be on our way.

78
00:05:45,512 --> 00:05:47,347
<i>A happy day. A happy day.</i>

79
00:05:47,347 --> 00:05:48,982
Here is to many more.

80
00:05:48,982 --> 00:05:50,084
It's refreshing to find a woman

81
00:05:50,084 --> 00:05:53,053
incapable of anything
but happiness.

82
00:05:56,123 --> 00:05:57,858
I will see you again soon.

83
00:06:05,899 --> 00:06:07,835
Camille.

84
00:06:07,835 --> 00:06:10,871
I was so disappointed
you weren't here.

85
00:06:10,871 --> 00:06:13,607
I do look forward to spending
some more time with you soon.

86
00:06:13,607 --> 00:06:15,442
And tell me,
has your maid recovered?

87
00:06:15,442 --> 00:06:17,411
I thought so much about her.

88
00:06:17,411 --> 00:06:18,612
<i>She's much better.</i>

89
00:06:18,612 --> 00:06:20,380
Thank you.

90
00:06:20,380 --> 00:06:22,916
Time to go. We mustn't be late.

91
00:06:22,916 --> 00:06:24,118
Lovely to see you.

92
00:06:24,118 --> 00:06:25,719
Goodbye.

93
00:06:25,719 --> 00:06:26,954
The game's over.

94
00:06:26,954 --> 00:06:29,389
Change is coming here.

95
00:06:30,858 --> 00:06:32,593
Good day, Marquis.

96
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:54,548
Leave it.

97
00:07:05,526 --> 00:07:07,461
I hear there's to be a talk

98
00:07:07,461 --> 00:07:09,530
at the Foreign Mission Society tomorrow.

99
00:07:09,530 --> 00:07:11,832
And you'd like me to go?

100
00:07:11,832 --> 00:07:15,536
Perhaps you enjoy me being
attacked in the street, Henri.

101
00:07:15,536 --> 00:07:18,572
What happened was an
indiscriminate act of violence.

102
00:07:18,572 --> 00:07:21,675
There's a growing resentment
in the poor towards our kind.

103
00:07:21,675 --> 00:07:23,043
And what kind are we?

104
00:07:23,043 --> 00:07:24,945
Their betters,

105
00:07:24,945 --> 00:07:26,980
and we must behave
as such, my love.

106
00:07:29,516 --> 00:07:32,186
You haven't called me that
in such a long time.

107
00:07:33,854 --> 00:07:35,789
Then I am at fault.

108
00:07:39,092 --> 00:07:40,761
It was not her.

109
00:07:40,761 --> 00:07:41,862
- It was her.
- It was not.

110
00:07:41,862 --> 00:07:43,897
I saw her!

111
00:07:43,897 --> 00:07:45,866
I saw the hate in her eyes.

112
00:07:48,235 --> 00:07:50,137
It was the servant girl.

113
00:07:50,137 --> 00:07:52,239
She's dead, a ghost,
nothing more.

114
00:07:52,472 --> 00:07:55,943
Jacqueline, I cannot lose you
again to this madness,

115
00:07:55,943 --> 00:07:57,744
so I beg you,
put this behind you

116
00:07:57,744 --> 00:07:59,046
and go back to the world.

117
00:08:04,017 --> 00:08:06,019
<i>You're expected at the talk.</i>

118
00:08:07,154 --> 00:08:09,223
You have a duty.

119
00:08:18,832 --> 00:08:22,135
A hit to Valmont.

120
00:08:28,075 --> 00:08:29,776
A hit again.

121
00:08:33,580 --> 00:08:35,182
Oh!

122
00:08:35,182 --> 00:08:37,951
Vicomte de Valmont wins!

123
00:08:37,951 --> 00:08:40,754
Valmont! Valmont! Valmont!

124
00:08:40,754 --> 00:08:42,689
Congratulations, Prévan.

125
00:08:47,694 --> 00:08:49,897
You were so brilliant, darling!

126
00:08:49,897 --> 00:08:52,799
A son any mother
would be proud of.

127
00:08:53,901 --> 00:08:55,602
- Bravo, Valmont!
- Congratulations.

128
00:09:00,073 --> 00:09:01,808
<i>Bravo, Valmont!</i>

129
00:09:05,078 --> 00:09:06,914
My condolences.

130
00:09:06,914 --> 00:09:09,249
<i>Back in Paris
only a few short days,</i>

131
00:09:09,249 --> 00:09:12,085
<i>and already
he's the toast of the town.</i>

132
00:09:12,085 --> 00:09:13,253
In a few weeks,

133
00:09:13,253 --> 00:09:15,722
he'll be locked up
in his barracks again.

134
00:09:15,722 --> 00:09:17,090
With any luck,
there'll be a war

135
00:09:17,090 --> 00:09:19,826
and a cannonball
will tear off his head.

136
00:09:20,861 --> 00:09:22,262
Come now, Azolan.

137
00:09:23,597 --> 00:09:25,565
I need you
to take a letter to Camille.

138
00:09:38,645 --> 00:09:40,113
Sir, may I first of all say

139
00:09:40,113 --> 00:09:41,882
what an honor it is
to serve under you?

140
00:09:41,882 --> 00:09:43,984
By asking--

141
00:09:46,653 --> 00:09:48,121
Uh, by asking to see me today,

142
00:09:48,121 --> 00:09:51,358
I hope that means my work is
making a difference to Paris...

143
00:09:55,128 --> 00:09:57,030
...and ultimately the king.

144
00:09:57,030 --> 00:09:59,967
I have not called you in
to praise you.

145
00:10:01,335 --> 00:10:04,271
I have reports on you,
Gabriel Carré,

146
00:10:04,271 --> 00:10:07,708
that you are spending time
on a personal matter.

147
00:10:07,708 --> 00:10:09,810
Sir, that is not the case.

148
00:10:09,810 --> 00:10:11,645
It is an investigation,

149
00:10:11,645 --> 00:10:14,848
although the woman lost
was of great importance to me.

150
00:10:14,848 --> 00:10:17,184
I heard she was a whore
fished out of the river,

151
00:10:17,184 --> 00:10:20,721
one of the many who cannot bear
their miserable lives on Earth

152
00:10:20,721 --> 00:10:22,723
and take their chances
in the next life.

153
00:10:23,991 --> 00:10:26,059
Get back
to the real work, Carré,

154
00:10:26,059 --> 00:10:28,261
not suicides
of the dispossessed.

155
00:10:34,368 --> 00:10:38,772
I will not have
a disobedient man here.

156
00:10:40,307 --> 00:10:42,909
You understand?

157
00:10:54,287 --> 00:10:56,690
- My head...
- Mm.

158
00:10:56,690 --> 00:10:58,392
...is it in one piece?

159
00:10:58,392 --> 00:11:00,360
It has grown a friend,

160
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,429
and I have to tell you...

161
00:11:02,662 --> 00:11:04,831
the friend is even prettier.

162
00:11:08,969 --> 00:11:10,704
<i>I thought I was free of it,</i>

163
00:11:10,704 --> 00:11:12,139
the falling sickness.

164
00:11:13,740 --> 00:11:15,842
What happened after I fell?

165
00:11:15,842 --> 00:11:17,744
Nothing of consequence.

166
00:11:19,846 --> 00:11:22,015
Now broth.

167
00:11:39,232 --> 00:11:41,001
You have something
to put to me?

168
00:11:42,202 --> 00:11:43,804
I do hope it's an apology.

169
00:11:43,804 --> 00:11:45,238
I have nothing
to apologize for,

170
00:11:45,238 --> 00:11:46,706
but I do have new terms.

171
00:11:46,706 --> 00:11:49,009
You think you're in a position
to set new terms?

172
00:11:49,009 --> 00:11:50,710
If you wish me
to continue my pursuit

173
00:11:50,710 --> 00:11:52,079
of Jacqueline de Montrachet.

174
00:11:52,079 --> 00:11:53,480
<i>I thought you wanted
your letters back.</i>

175
00:11:53,713 --> 00:11:56,016
But then again,
I did think you wanted me.

176
00:11:56,016 --> 00:11:57,417
Stop it, Camille.

177
00:11:57,417 --> 00:11:59,786
I don't know what this catfight
I'm caught up in is,

178
00:11:59,786 --> 00:12:02,122
but it seems far from the wager
you enticed me with,

179
00:12:02,122 --> 00:12:03,757
and you seem
unwilling or unable

180
00:12:03,757 --> 00:12:05,158
to share the truth with me.

181
00:12:06,126 --> 00:12:07,727
I don't owe you the truth.

182
00:12:07,727 --> 00:12:08,962
I'm here for what is mine.

183
00:12:08,962 --> 00:12:10,797
When you have done
what we agreed.

184
00:12:10,797 --> 00:12:13,900
Why must everything
be about you?

185
00:12:13,900 --> 00:12:18,438
I'm talking of my inheritance,
of my title of Vicomte.

186
00:12:18,438 --> 00:12:20,807
Both were taken from me
by my stepmother

187
00:12:20,807 --> 00:12:24,511
and her cuckoo of a son
when my father died.

188
00:12:26,213 --> 00:12:29,516
Really spared me the details
of who you are.

189
00:12:30,817 --> 00:12:33,153
- So you have a title.
- I have nothing.

190
00:12:35,021 --> 00:12:37,457
That's why I need you to use
your exemplary skills

191
00:12:37,457 --> 00:12:39,526
of manipulation and deceit.

192
00:12:39,759 --> 00:12:41,394
You have not lost your charm.

193
00:12:41,394 --> 00:12:44,197
Draw out the truth
about how this false Vicomtesse

194
00:12:44,197 --> 00:12:46,433
made a puppet of my father
on his deathbed

195
00:12:46,433 --> 00:12:48,802
to disinherit me

196
00:12:48,802 --> 00:12:51,104
so that I may get back
what is rightfully mine.

197
00:12:51,104 --> 00:12:53,773
These are my terms, Camille.

198
00:12:56,843 --> 00:12:58,879
Well, I'm glad I've amused you.

199
00:12:58,879 --> 00:13:00,981
I mean, you must see the irony.

200
00:13:02,315 --> 00:13:05,018
The woman you wish
to gain power over

201
00:13:05,018 --> 00:13:08,255
is the one woman in Paris
you can't seduce.

202
00:13:10,824 --> 00:13:12,392
I shouldn't have come.

203
00:13:17,063 --> 00:13:20,167
I know what it is
to lose everything.

204
00:13:20,167 --> 00:13:22,469
It's not the loss.

205
00:13:22,469 --> 00:13:24,070
Then what?

206
00:13:28,875 --> 00:13:31,278
My father chose him...

207
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,950
...someone else's son
to love more than his own.

208
00:13:48,094 --> 00:13:50,530
That is not your shame
but his.

209
00:13:54,467 --> 00:13:56,403
Tell me where to find her.

210
00:14:19,059 --> 00:14:21,428
<i>The skirt I bought
the other week for the hunt,</i>

211
00:14:21,428 --> 00:14:23,997
<i>I want a robe à l'anglaise
to go with it.</i>

212
00:14:23,997 --> 00:14:26,533
Of course, Vicomtesse.
Whatever you desire.

213
00:14:26,533 --> 00:14:27,968
My philosophy too.

214
00:14:27,968 --> 00:14:29,536
The Vicomtesse de Valmont?

215
00:14:30,904 --> 00:14:34,074
They say the Vicomte died
with a smile on his face.

216
00:14:34,074 --> 00:14:36,543
Now she spends her days
collecting clothes...

217
00:14:36,543 --> 00:14:37,877
and gossip.

218
00:14:37,877 --> 00:14:39,246
<i>Slim sleeves like these?</i>

219
00:14:39,246 --> 00:14:41,248
Exactly. And the hair, Léonard?

220
00:14:41,248 --> 00:14:42,983
A wig?

221
00:14:42,983 --> 00:14:45,218
Like the one you had
Madame Vauqueline wear

222
00:14:45,218 --> 00:14:47,287
to the Comédie-Française
last week.

223
00:14:47,287 --> 00:14:49,089
- Yes.
- No.

224
00:14:50,290 --> 00:14:52,259
It should be
as the queen now wears it.

225
00:14:53,226 --> 00:14:55,095
With green ostrich feathers.

226
00:14:55,095 --> 00:14:57,130
And who are you?

227
00:14:57,130 --> 00:14:58,965
Mademoiselle Camille.

228
00:15:01,101 --> 00:15:02,902
The skirt should be
plain-colored.

229
00:15:05,005 --> 00:15:07,974
My guardian's wife
was a great admirer of yours.

230
00:15:07,974 --> 00:15:10,677
- Whose wife?
- The Marquis de Merteuil's.

231
00:15:12,245 --> 00:15:14,514
She was?

232
00:15:14,514 --> 00:15:16,616
I heard rumor
she didn't simply fall.

233
00:15:18,451 --> 00:15:20,287
How do you find the Marquis?

234
00:15:22,656 --> 00:15:26,259
He is a man not only
of... great kindness

235
00:15:26,259 --> 00:15:29,195
but of good taste

236
00:15:29,195 --> 00:15:32,332
and generosity of spirit.

237
00:15:37,137 --> 00:15:39,606
He is a man--
we can agree on that--

238
00:15:39,606 --> 00:15:41,274
and one who will soon have

239
00:15:41,274 --> 00:15:43,476
every eligible woman
in the city

240
00:15:43,476 --> 00:15:45,312
knocking on his door.

241
00:15:52,485 --> 00:15:54,387
Call on me for tea.

242
00:15:54,387 --> 00:15:56,356
We can discuss the Marquis'

243
00:15:56,356 --> 00:15:59,693
many qualities
and future prospects.

244
00:15:59,693 --> 00:16:02,062
I will look forward to it, Vicomtesse.

245
00:16:03,363 --> 00:16:06,032
Green ostrich plumes, Léonard.

246
00:16:09,602 --> 00:16:11,137
Like the queen.

247
00:16:19,279 --> 00:16:21,548
That's her coach.
She must still be inside.

248
00:16:21,548 --> 00:16:24,117
Ah, you did well
to find her, Azolan.

249
00:16:24,117 --> 00:16:25,318
Wait for me here.

250
00:16:30,123 --> 00:16:32,225
In Upper Cochin, the Tay Sons

251
00:16:32,225 --> 00:16:34,294
have issued edicts
of persecution

252
00:16:34,294 --> 00:16:36,629
against all Christians.

253
00:16:37,630 --> 00:16:41,267
Children have been slain
and orphaned.

254
00:16:41,267 --> 00:16:44,404
<i>My order has taken in
many young girls.</i>

255
00:16:44,404 --> 00:16:48,007
<i>We offer them shelter,
what education we can.</i>

256
00:16:48,742 --> 00:16:51,411
Any contribution
would be appreciated.

257
00:16:57,183 --> 00:16:58,184
For the children.

258
00:16:58,184 --> 00:16:59,219
God bless you.

259
00:17:03,790 --> 00:17:06,259
God bless you.

260
00:17:06,259 --> 00:17:07,460
Bless you.

261
00:17:08,628 --> 00:17:12,599
Madame de Montrachet,
you are recovered?

262
00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:15,368
Oh, please, Monsieur Lucienne,
I do not wish to think of it.

263
00:17:16,770 --> 00:17:19,606
You have my appreciation for
your kindness the other night.

264
00:17:20,473 --> 00:17:21,674
I've no more to say.

265
00:17:21,674 --> 00:17:23,643
I only want to return these.

266
00:17:23,643 --> 00:17:25,678
But I gave them to the sister.

267
00:17:25,678 --> 00:17:27,647
Forgive me,
but they look better on you.

268
00:17:29,549 --> 00:17:31,217
I gave twice their value.

269
00:17:31,818 --> 00:17:34,053
Do not embarrass me
by refusing.

270
00:17:35,054 --> 00:17:36,423
They were for the children.

271
00:17:37,490 --> 00:17:39,626
See they are returned
to the collection plate.

272
00:17:42,328 --> 00:17:43,730
You feel, as I do,

273
00:17:43,730 --> 00:17:46,399
an especial affinity
with the children.

274
00:17:48,134 --> 00:17:49,669
They're innocent of sin.

275
00:17:50,737 --> 00:17:52,439
Their suffering's undeserved.

276
00:17:52,439 --> 00:17:54,774
But the kingdom of God
belongs to such as these.

277
00:17:54,774 --> 00:17:56,743
They know only honesty,

278
00:17:56,743 --> 00:17:58,812
and that is the path
to our Lord.

279
00:18:01,548 --> 00:18:03,616
You are a man
of genuine faith in Paris,

280
00:18:03,616 --> 00:18:05,084
Monsieur Lucienne.

281
00:18:05,084 --> 00:18:07,420
It's rare to see good things.

282
00:18:07,420 --> 00:18:10,557
Ah, in another life, I would
have taken holy orders myself.

283
00:18:10,557 --> 00:18:12,525
I'm one of five,

284
00:18:12,525 --> 00:18:14,594
the runt of the litter.

285
00:18:14,594 --> 00:18:17,397
- I do not believe that.
- It is true.

286
00:18:17,397 --> 00:18:18,765
All brothers,

287
00:18:18,765 --> 00:18:21,334
all of whom wished to join
the Order of Saint Benedict.

288
00:18:21,334 --> 00:18:24,137
Imagine my father's pleasure.

289
00:18:24,137 --> 00:18:25,772
When my four brothers
took the cloth,

290
00:18:25,772 --> 00:18:27,540
I was instructed that,
as the youngest,

291
00:18:27,540 --> 00:18:29,809
I must carry the family name,

292
00:18:29,809 --> 00:18:32,345
inherit the fortune
that went with it.

293
00:18:32,345 --> 00:18:34,647
- Most would call you lucky.
- Or a fool.

294
00:18:34,647 --> 00:18:37,283
Still, I fail my father
by not marrying.

295
00:18:39,152 --> 00:18:40,553
And why is that?

296
00:18:41,588 --> 00:18:43,223
There has been no woman
who understood

297
00:18:43,223 --> 00:18:46,192
that my love of God must come
before my love of her.

298
00:19:02,609 --> 00:19:04,477
Mistress lost her button
from her coat.

299
00:19:04,477 --> 00:19:06,179
Fell behind the seat.

300
00:19:06,179 --> 00:19:07,514
Can I help?

301
00:19:07,514 --> 00:19:09,482
I-I have small hands.
It's really no trouble.

302
00:19:09,482 --> 00:19:11,284
Leave it, boy.

303
00:19:16,523 --> 00:19:17,857
I thought I would pray.

304
00:19:19,759 --> 00:19:21,427
Would you care to join me?

305
00:19:24,430 --> 00:19:25,698
Very well.

306
00:19:29,235 --> 00:19:30,803
<i>Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.</i>

307
00:19:30,803 --> 00:19:32,305
Blessed art thou among women,

308
00:19:32,305 --> 00:19:34,440
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.

309
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,910
Holy Mary, mother of God.

310
00:19:36,910 --> 00:19:38,778
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.

311
00:19:38,778 --> 00:19:40,280
Blessed art thou among women,

312
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,849
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.

313
00:19:42,849 --> 00:19:44,584
<i>Holy Mary, mother of God.</i>

314
00:19:44,584 --> 00:19:45,585
Grace. The lord is with thee.

315
00:19:45,585 --> 00:19:46,753
Blessed art thou among women,

316
00:19:46,753 --> 00:19:49,255
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.

317
00:19:49,255 --> 00:19:51,491
Holy Mary, mother of God.

318
00:19:51,491 --> 00:19:53,326
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.

319
00:19:53,326 --> 00:19:54,494
Blessed art thou among women,

320
00:19:54,494 --> 00:19:57,497
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.

321
00:19:57,497 --> 00:19:59,499
Holy Mary, mother of God.

322
00:19:59,499 --> 00:20:00,533
Hail Mary, full--

323
00:20:01,834 --> 00:20:03,269
What are you doing?

324
00:20:03,269 --> 00:20:04,771
The saint's uncorrupted heart

325
00:20:04,771 --> 00:20:06,839
moved me to pray with you.

326
00:20:06,839 --> 00:20:08,875
I have offended you.

327
00:20:08,875 --> 00:20:11,311
Madame de Montrachet, please!

328
00:20:27,327 --> 00:20:31,531
Madame de Montrachet is
buttoned tighter than her coat.

329
00:20:31,531 --> 00:20:32,865
It's not as tight as it was.

330
00:20:32,865 --> 00:20:34,267
Mm.

331
00:20:35,702 --> 00:20:38,338
The coat, uh, it lost a button.

332
00:20:41,474 --> 00:20:42,642
The coachman and the maid

333
00:20:42,642 --> 00:20:43,776
were looking for the button
from her coat

334
00:20:43,776 --> 00:20:45,278
while you were
attending the meeting.

335
00:20:46,946 --> 00:20:48,581
Looking where?

336
00:20:49,649 --> 00:20:51,618
In the coach.

337
00:20:51,618 --> 00:20:52,952
Together?

338
00:20:54,253 --> 00:20:56,522
Yes.

339
00:21:23,316 --> 00:21:25,284
What do you think you're doing?

340
00:21:25,284 --> 00:21:26,319
More to the point,
what are you doing?

341
00:21:26,319 --> 00:21:27,520
He's a gentleman!

342
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:28,821
And you are fornicators.

343
00:21:28,821 --> 00:21:30,023
What would your mistress think
if she knew

344
00:21:30,023 --> 00:21:31,591
that you were rutting
in her coach?

345
00:21:31,591 --> 00:21:33,593
- We would be ruined, sir.
- Mm.

346
00:21:33,593 --> 00:21:35,495
How much to keep quiet?

347
00:21:35,495 --> 00:21:38,665
The suggestion that you could
buy me off is offensive.

348
00:21:38,665 --> 00:21:41,067
Throw your fat-knuckled punch.
It'll hurt you more than me.

349
00:21:42,335 --> 00:21:43,870
Go cool that hot head.

350
00:21:44,904 --> 00:21:47,040
For her, not you.

351
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,509
Yes, yes.
We don't have all day.

352
00:21:53,046 --> 00:21:55,081
Monsieur, you cannot
tell our mistress.

353
00:21:55,314 --> 00:21:56,549
<i>Please.</i>

354
00:21:56,549 --> 00:21:59,052
Do exactly as I instruct,

355
00:21:59,052 --> 00:22:01,421
and she'll never hear of this.

356
00:22:12,465 --> 00:22:13,966
What are you doing?

357
00:22:13,966 --> 00:22:16,536
Madame, I feel unwell. May I?

358
00:22:16,536 --> 00:22:18,438
Well, you should have said.

359
00:22:25,945 --> 00:22:28,614
Isn't that the man from
the Foreign Mission Society?

360
00:22:30,850 --> 00:22:32,919
Olivier, stop the carriage!

361
00:22:34,554 --> 00:22:36,489
Fetch that boy to me.

362
00:22:36,489 --> 00:22:38,991
Now, Suzette, before he goes.

363
00:22:50,803 --> 00:22:52,739
What's wrong with your leg?

364
00:22:52,739 --> 00:22:55,842
Uh, crushed by a noble's horse, Madame.

365
00:22:55,842 --> 00:22:57,143
There's worse things in life.

366
00:22:57,376 --> 00:22:59,645
My parents were taken
by the pox.

367
00:22:59,645 --> 00:23:02,381
- Oh, you poor child.
- I don't need anyone's pity.

368
00:23:03,983 --> 00:23:06,886
Olivier, give the boy
what money you have on you.

369
00:23:18,131 --> 00:23:19,699
Thank you, my lady.

370
00:23:19,699 --> 00:23:21,801
So tell me, what business
did you have

371
00:23:21,801 --> 00:23:23,569
with Monsieur Lucienne?

372
00:23:23,569 --> 00:23:24,937
I'm sworn to secrecy,

373
00:23:24,937 --> 00:23:27,540
but since you paid me,

374
00:23:27,540 --> 00:23:29,876
I'm to be a student
at his school for orphans

375
00:23:29,876 --> 00:23:31,677
when he's raised
the money for it.

376
00:23:32,478 --> 00:23:33,880
And thank you.

377
00:23:44,123 --> 00:23:45,792
Oh, she believed you.

378
00:23:45,792 --> 00:23:47,193
I believed myself.

379
00:23:49,162 --> 00:23:51,631
And the world's
a cruel place for orphans.

380
00:23:51,631 --> 00:23:53,599
You should find some
and give that to them.

381
00:23:53,599 --> 00:23:57,069
Oh, what an excellent idea, Azolan.

382
00:23:57,069 --> 00:24:00,907
Some for you...
and some for me.

383
00:24:00,907 --> 00:24:02,675
The game is on.

384
00:24:22,061 --> 00:24:23,563
You haven't been in Paris
long enough

385
00:24:23,563 --> 00:24:25,231
to meet my son, Prévan.

386
00:24:25,464 --> 00:24:26,666
<i>He was, until recently,</i>

387
00:24:26,666 --> 00:24:29,569
<i>the most eligible bachelor
in town, but...</i>

388
00:24:29,569 --> 00:24:32,538
he is to be married
to Cécile de Volanges,

389
00:24:32,538 --> 00:24:33,773
a daughter of the Duke.

390
00:24:38,611 --> 00:24:42,715
So... tell me,
now we are alone.

391
00:24:42,715 --> 00:24:43,916
Was marriage to Jean

392
00:24:43,916 --> 00:24:46,619
the reason why his wife
jumped to her death?

393
00:24:47,887 --> 00:24:50,857
There are rumors he was
never faithful to her.

394
00:24:50,857 --> 00:24:52,892
As I said, Vicomtesse,

395
00:24:52,892 --> 00:24:54,794
the Marquis is a good man.

396
00:24:55,995 --> 00:24:59,999
That was not your implication
at Madame Berthe's.

397
00:24:59,999 --> 00:25:01,634
I may be blunt?

398
00:25:02,902 --> 00:25:04,604
I let you believe so.

399
00:25:05,671 --> 00:25:07,273
I hoped I might befriend you.

400
00:25:08,507 --> 00:25:09,642
You thought such an alliance

401
00:25:09,642 --> 00:25:11,143
would be to your advantage.

402
00:25:11,143 --> 00:25:12,778
I feel naive,

403
00:25:12,778 --> 00:25:14,914
exposed here.

404
00:25:14,914 --> 00:25:17,516
And I have no guardian now
to guide me.

405
00:25:22,121 --> 00:25:25,091
We are cut from the same cloth.

406
00:25:29,528 --> 00:25:32,231
To get what you truly want
in this city,

407
00:25:32,231 --> 00:25:34,200
you must destroy everything

408
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:38,271
and everyone
that stands between you and it.

409
00:25:38,271 --> 00:25:39,972
How, Vicomtesse?

410
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,175
By showing no mercy.

411
00:25:43,175 --> 00:25:45,144
Is that your own experience?

412
00:25:46,545 --> 00:25:49,115
Camille, I'm almost offended.

413
00:25:49,982 --> 00:25:54,320
You must think of my words
as that of a mentor's.

414
00:25:54,553 --> 00:25:56,188
Theoretical examples.

415
00:25:57,657 --> 00:25:59,225
Let me finish now
with some advice

416
00:25:59,225 --> 00:26:01,193
if you wish to thrive here.

417
00:26:01,193 --> 00:26:02,628
Make a good match,

418
00:26:02,628 --> 00:26:06,232
an alliance of beauty, brains,

419
00:26:06,232 --> 00:26:08,801
and a rich and powerful husband.

420
00:26:09,936 --> 00:26:11,737
I am almost cursing myself

421
00:26:11,737 --> 00:26:14,106
I did not move more swiftly
on your Marquis.

422
00:26:14,106 --> 00:26:15,708
Well, he is unlikely to marry.

423
00:26:15,708 --> 00:26:17,677
His wife is only recently gone.

424
00:26:17,677 --> 00:26:19,979
My second piece of advice:

425
00:26:19,979 --> 00:26:23,182
keep your ear at every door.

426
00:26:23,182 --> 00:26:24,951
You've been asleep, Camille.

427
00:26:27,053 --> 00:26:29,822
Jean de Merteuil
is already bound to be married

428
00:26:29,822 --> 00:26:32,358
to Emilie de Sevigny.

429
00:26:32,591 --> 00:26:34,860
That... hyena
of a mother of hers

430
00:26:34,860 --> 00:26:37,163
has caught him by the throat.

431
00:26:37,163 --> 00:26:40,933
Strike fast and without fear,

432
00:26:40,933 --> 00:26:42,301
or lose.

433
00:26:47,340 --> 00:26:49,842
One must admire her...

434
00:26:49,842 --> 00:26:51,043
from a distance, of course.

435
00:26:51,043 --> 00:26:52,311
She's quite lethal.

436
00:26:57,984 --> 00:27:00,019
No one ever
bought me a dress.

437
00:27:01,687 --> 00:27:02,788
What do you think?

438
00:27:04,724 --> 00:27:07,326
You will look lovely, mademoiselle.

439
00:27:13,366 --> 00:27:14,700
All right, this one.

440
00:27:16,335 --> 00:27:18,404
<i>Wrap it.</i>

441
00:27:20,873 --> 00:27:22,875
I don't know
how to thank you.

442
00:27:24,677 --> 00:27:26,679
Five livres.

443
00:27:26,679 --> 00:27:29,415
Oh, when can I have it?

444
00:27:29,648 --> 00:27:31,784
It's not for you.

445
00:27:31,784 --> 00:27:33,919
- You said to--
- Choose a dress...

446
00:27:35,688 --> 00:27:37,323
...which you have done.

447
00:27:37,323 --> 00:27:39,692
<i>If that was not clear,</i>

448
00:27:39,692 --> 00:27:41,761
accept my apologies.

449
00:27:43,929 --> 00:27:45,364
It was not clear.

450
00:27:48,901 --> 00:27:51,337
<i>God be with you.</i>

451
00:27:51,337 --> 00:27:52,838
<i>And with you.</i>

452
00:28:07,820 --> 00:28:09,355
Madame de Montrachet.

453
00:28:11,057 --> 00:28:14,427
I wanted to apologize
for my behavior at the chapel.

454
00:28:14,427 --> 00:28:16,462
My actions were
totally out of character.

455
00:28:16,695 --> 00:28:17,930
- I never imagined...
- I believe you.

456
00:28:17,930 --> 00:28:19,265
...I'd meet a woman
who loved our Savior

457
00:28:19,265 --> 00:28:20,466
with the same devotion--

458
00:28:22,001 --> 00:28:23,069
You do?

459
00:28:23,069 --> 00:28:25,037
I had hoped to see you.

460
00:28:25,037 --> 00:28:26,205
You're trying to set up
a school

461
00:28:26,205 --> 00:28:28,374
for the poor orphans
of the city.

462
00:28:28,374 --> 00:28:30,009
It doesn't matter how I know.

463
00:28:30,009 --> 00:28:31,177
Might I venture

464
00:28:31,177 --> 00:28:33,212
that since you were denied
your vocation,

465
00:28:33,212 --> 00:28:34,914
you feel compelled
to serve God

466
00:28:34,914 --> 00:28:37,416
by helping those less fortunate
than yourself?

467
00:28:38,918 --> 00:28:41,287
None more so than the children.

468
00:28:41,287 --> 00:28:45,224
The kingdom of God
belongs to such as these.

469
00:28:46,892 --> 00:28:49,228
I will see you have some money
for your school.

470
00:28:49,228 --> 00:28:50,930
I cannot accept
your kind offer.

471
00:28:50,930 --> 00:28:53,432
Well, then I cannot accept
your apology.

472
00:28:56,168 --> 00:28:58,804
It will bind us together
in venture.

473
00:29:00,873 --> 00:29:02,074
So be it.

474
00:29:21,293 --> 00:29:24,363
You are well again, I see.

475
00:29:25,297 --> 00:29:26,899
The opposite.

476
00:29:26,899 --> 00:29:28,501
I am sickened.

477
00:29:34,340 --> 00:29:36,408
You like these pretty things.

478
00:29:38,177 --> 00:29:39,812
I'll see that you have more.

479
00:29:43,249 --> 00:29:45,251
Now that I think of it,

480
00:29:45,251 --> 00:29:46,952
a little bird in the kitchen

481
00:29:46,952 --> 00:29:48,854
told me you were fond
of bonbons.

482
00:29:48,854 --> 00:29:50,956
Is that why you're here, Monsieur,

483
00:29:50,956 --> 00:29:53,159
to offer me pretty things
and bonbons?

484
00:29:53,159 --> 00:29:54,560
Well, there must be
something you want.

485
00:29:54,793 --> 00:29:56,028
For what?

486
00:29:57,062 --> 00:29:59,398
You're not naive.
Don't act as if you are.

487
00:30:00,466 --> 00:30:03,903
- The letter.
- There. See?

488
00:30:03,903 --> 00:30:06,138
Far smarter than your mistress.

489
00:30:06,138 --> 00:30:08,140
Name your price.

490
00:30:08,140 --> 00:30:11,443
For betraying my friend
or dishonoring myself?

491
00:30:11,443 --> 00:30:13,379
Perhaps you have money
for both.

492
00:30:17,082 --> 00:30:18,317
Who is Ariadne?

493
00:30:20,085 --> 00:30:22,254
Ariadne was a girl like you.

494
00:30:23,322 --> 00:30:25,257
A waif, a stray.

495
00:30:25,257 --> 00:30:27,126
Unloved, unnoticed.

496
00:30:28,494 --> 00:30:31,030
The sort of girl that adds
nothing to the world.

497
00:30:32,097 --> 00:30:35,034
My wife brought her in
for companionship as...

498
00:30:35,034 --> 00:30:36,902
one would a cat.

499
00:30:36,902 --> 00:30:39,972
And when she grew tired of her,

500
00:30:39,972 --> 00:30:42,241
she threw out the cat.

501
00:30:43,842 --> 00:30:46,412
Give me the letter,
or I will drag it from you!

502
00:30:50,983 --> 00:30:53,419
Child, what is the matter?

503
00:31:06,365 --> 00:31:07,533
It's Jean!

504
00:31:07,533 --> 00:31:09,568
He's searching our room,
searching for the letter.

505
00:31:09,568 --> 00:31:11,203
He will not rest
until he finds it.

506
00:31:11,203 --> 00:31:12,504
We have to go now, Camille.

507
00:31:12,504 --> 00:31:14,139
Go! Anywhere. Now.

508
00:31:15,207 --> 00:31:17,142
Did he hurt you?

509
00:33:00,379 --> 00:33:01,980
May we come in?

510
00:33:01,980 --> 00:33:03,515
I'm entertaining.

511
00:33:04,516 --> 00:33:05,718
But do join us.

512
00:33:13,659 --> 00:33:15,327
Azolan...

513
00:33:15,327 --> 00:33:16,662
how are you?

514
00:33:16,662 --> 00:33:18,497
Uh, thank you for asking,
my lady.

515
00:33:18,497 --> 00:33:22,067
Um, we're just having some
boiled grain and squirrel stew,

516
00:33:22,067 --> 00:33:24,670
- if you'd care for some.
- I suspect she's already eaten.

517
00:33:24,670 --> 00:33:26,705
Yes. I'm afraid so.

518
00:33:26,705 --> 00:33:28,207
Maybe the little thief
is hungry.

519
00:33:28,207 --> 00:33:30,376
Rather a thief
than a faithless blackmailer.

520
00:33:30,376 --> 00:33:34,079
Now, I can't tell if you speak
of me or your mistress.

521
00:33:35,614 --> 00:33:38,117
Victoire, please wait outside.

522
00:33:45,357 --> 00:33:47,259
Take her some stew, Azolan.

523
00:33:58,270 --> 00:34:00,105
You have made progress
with my stepmother?

524
00:34:00,105 --> 00:34:01,707
There is
a more pressing matter.

525
00:34:01,707 --> 00:34:03,809
Madame left a note.

526
00:34:04,042 --> 00:34:05,477
That's how I've been
maintaining my place

527
00:34:05,477 --> 00:34:06,812
in Saint-Honoré.

528
00:34:07,045 --> 00:34:09,515
Leave others' words alone,
or you will choke on them.

529
00:34:09,515 --> 00:34:11,550
Something I think
you've learned at first hand.

530
00:34:11,550 --> 00:34:14,219
Did she ever talk to you
of a girl she befriended?

531
00:34:14,219 --> 00:34:16,655
Merteuil was never
a woman for friends.

532
00:34:16,655 --> 00:34:18,690
The girl was Ariadne.

533
00:34:21,059 --> 00:34:23,629
Valmont,
I see you know this name.

534
00:34:23,629 --> 00:34:25,464
And if I do?

535
00:34:31,470 --> 00:34:33,071
We might trade.

536
00:34:33,071 --> 00:34:35,541
Trade what? Hmm?

537
00:34:39,812 --> 00:34:42,114
I took tea
with Ondine de Valmont

538
00:34:42,114 --> 00:34:43,315
this afternoon.

539
00:34:43,315 --> 00:34:45,684
You have made progress quickly.
And?

540
00:34:45,684 --> 00:34:47,786
My first card is on the table.

541
00:34:47,786 --> 00:34:50,355
Ah, and I may have heard
of this Ariadne.

542
00:34:50,355 --> 00:34:51,523
And?

543
00:34:51,523 --> 00:34:53,592
I'm already
your stepmother's friend.

544
00:34:53,592 --> 00:34:55,627
It will take longer

545
00:34:55,627 --> 00:34:57,229
to become her confidante.

546
00:34:57,229 --> 00:34:59,731
Ah, one card,
and you're played out.

547
00:35:04,837 --> 00:35:06,238
Not quite.

548
00:35:07,372 --> 00:35:08,774
Ondine is ambitious.

549
00:35:08,774 --> 00:35:10,375
Wealth is not enough.

550
00:35:10,375 --> 00:35:12,578
She wants power.

551
00:35:12,578 --> 00:35:14,446
She is in the market
for a husband

552
00:35:14,446 --> 00:35:16,248
who can give her
what she desires.

553
00:35:16,248 --> 00:35:18,150
Has she no shame?

554
00:35:20,219 --> 00:35:21,887
Ariadne,

555
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,122
a girl Madame
brought into the house

556
00:35:24,122 --> 00:35:26,525
and filled with ideas
above her station?

557
00:35:26,525 --> 00:35:29,528
I doubt she was a girl Madame
would have spent a moment with,

558
00:35:29,528 --> 00:35:31,396
let alone brought
into her house.

559
00:35:34,399 --> 00:35:36,902
Then from where
may you have heard

560
00:35:37,135 --> 00:35:38,270
of Ariadne?

561
00:35:38,270 --> 00:35:40,339
There's a private club,

562
00:35:40,339 --> 00:35:42,207
the kind a man
might not to wish to advertise

563
00:35:42,207 --> 00:35:44,643
he has affiliations with in...

564
00:35:44,643 --> 00:35:46,378
polite society.

565
00:35:47,513 --> 00:35:49,581
It's called The Labyrinth.

566
00:35:49,581 --> 00:35:50,749
You've been there?

567
00:35:50,749 --> 00:35:53,285
No, but I've heard mention
of this Ariadne.

568
00:35:54,152 --> 00:35:55,687
<i>The name stuck with me.</i>

569
00:35:55,687 --> 00:35:56,788
<i>It's uncommon.</i>

570
00:35:57,723 --> 00:35:58,757
Where is it?

571
00:35:58,757 --> 00:36:01,193
Only men may cross
the threshold.

572
00:36:10,469 --> 00:36:12,538
Then you'll have to help me.

573
00:36:14,773 --> 00:36:16,241
Please.

574
00:36:55,948 --> 00:36:58,483
You've made progress
in your seduction

575
00:36:58,483 --> 00:37:00,485
of Madame de Montrachet?

576
00:37:00,485 --> 00:37:02,321
I have.

577
00:37:02,321 --> 00:37:03,722
She believes you love God.

578
00:37:03,722 --> 00:37:07,659
And I will convince her that
she means more to me than Him.

579
00:37:07,659 --> 00:37:11,697
And after that,
she will open herself to you?

580
00:37:11,697 --> 00:37:14,866
Like a flower
opens itself to sunlight.

581
00:37:30,782 --> 00:37:31,783
Now?

582
00:37:32,818 --> 00:37:34,386
The necktie.

583
00:37:35,854 --> 00:37:37,656
What else?

584
00:37:37,656 --> 00:37:39,291
Of course.

585
00:37:56,341 --> 00:37:58,043
Where did you get it?

586
00:37:58,276 --> 00:37:59,745
I forget.

587
00:37:59,745 --> 00:38:01,380
It's of no importance.

588
00:38:09,755 --> 00:38:11,923
Finishing touch.

589
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,603
You like how it feels?

590
00:38:28,807 --> 00:38:30,075
Yes.

591
00:38:31,543 --> 00:38:33,779
Imagining the world
and everything in it

592
00:38:33,779 --> 00:38:35,847
is mine to have.

593
00:38:52,531 --> 00:38:53,965
Or not.

594
00:38:58,070 --> 00:38:59,771
As I wish.

595
00:39:08,847 --> 00:39:10,882
I thought we might talk.

596
00:39:11,883 --> 00:39:13,085
Marquis?

597
00:39:14,119 --> 00:39:16,021
You think I did not love her,

598
00:39:16,021 --> 00:39:18,957
my wife, don't you?

599
00:39:18,957 --> 00:39:21,093
<i>I can see it in your eyes.</i>

600
00:39:21,093 --> 00:39:22,961
It's not my place
to have an opinion.

601
00:39:22,961 --> 00:39:24,830
But you do.

602
00:39:24,830 --> 00:39:26,998
You kept her letter from me.
That's an opinion.

603
00:39:28,433 --> 00:39:30,769
I've had time to reflect, and...

604
00:39:30,769 --> 00:39:32,404
I'm glad you did it.

605
00:39:33,672 --> 00:39:35,440
Thank you, Majordome.

606
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,642
<i>You honored my wife's memory.</i>

607
00:39:38,610 --> 00:39:40,779
You protected her,
as I failed to do.

608
00:39:41,980 --> 00:39:44,049
And that is something
I must live with.

609
00:39:49,521 --> 00:39:51,590
I'm going to do better
in my new marriage.

610
00:39:51,590 --> 00:39:53,492
You're getting married?

611
00:39:53,492 --> 00:39:55,560
And I'll return to the island.

612
00:39:57,662 --> 00:39:58,964
But I'm torn.

613
00:40:00,499 --> 00:40:02,467
Do I close up this house...

614
00:40:03,869 --> 00:40:05,103
...or leave it in the care
of the man

615
00:40:05,103 --> 00:40:06,905
who loves it beyond all others?

616
00:40:08,173 --> 00:40:11,710
<i>In short, do I trust you
as my wife trusted you?</i>

617
00:40:11,710 --> 00:40:13,879
And why did she trust you?

618
00:40:13,879 --> 00:40:15,747
Because I cared for her.

619
00:40:17,516 --> 00:40:19,985
And you cared for her wishes.

620
00:40:24,489 --> 00:40:27,659
The last thing she ever did
was to write me that note.

621
00:40:27,659 --> 00:40:30,695
The last thing she ever wanted
was for me to see it.

622
00:40:32,531 --> 00:40:34,633
And that's the truth, isn't it?

623
00:40:36,835 --> 00:40:37,936
Yes.

624
00:40:39,004 --> 00:40:41,573
And will you betray
her last wish?

625
00:41:19,711 --> 00:41:22,848
You are my Majordome after all.

626
00:42:02,621 --> 00:42:03,855
If you value your life,

627
00:42:03,855 --> 00:42:05,624
see she gets out safe.

628
00:42:05,624 --> 00:42:08,026
Oh, your understated charm
will take you places

629
00:42:08,026 --> 00:42:09,794
you cannot imagine.

630
00:42:09,794 --> 00:42:12,564
Find me a coach.
Have it waiting.

631
00:42:18,837 --> 00:42:20,538
On whose invitation?

632
00:43:03,214 --> 00:43:05,183
Your name, Monsieur?

633
00:43:05,183 --> 00:43:06,751
Valmont.

634
00:43:06,751 --> 00:43:08,720
The Vicomtesse's son?

635
00:43:08,720 --> 00:43:10,055
<i>The Vicomte's son.</i>

636
00:43:10,889 --> 00:43:12,857
With Prévan, my stepbrother.

637
00:43:16,761 --> 00:43:18,129
Who do you desire?

638
00:43:21,132 --> 00:43:22,200
Ariadne.

639
00:43:38,783 --> 00:43:41,653
The Vicomte chooses you, Ariadne.

640
00:43:55,867 --> 00:43:57,168
We're together.

641
00:43:57,168 --> 00:43:59,237
Man is born
alone and dies alone.

642
00:43:59,237 --> 00:44:02,674
In between, he must find his
way through the labyrinth...

643
00:44:02,674 --> 00:44:04,109
alone.

644
00:44:09,714 --> 00:44:12,717
See that those two
don't leave the club.

645
00:44:12,717 --> 00:44:14,919
Mm-hmm.

646
00:44:46,317 --> 00:44:48,820
How is... business?

647
00:44:50,355 --> 00:44:52,891
Must you lock the door?

648
00:44:52,891 --> 00:44:54,426
Confinement vexes me.

649
00:44:54,426 --> 00:44:56,828
Besides, I really must
get back to my brother.

650
00:44:56,828 --> 00:44:57,996
Stepbrother.

651
00:44:57,996 --> 00:45:00,832
After you have bound yourself.

652
00:45:22,387 --> 00:45:25,924
I feel a slight chill.
I might warm myself first.

653
00:45:28,793 --> 00:45:30,762
I will warm you.

654
00:45:32,730 --> 00:45:34,399
I feel a great thirst.

655
00:45:34,399 --> 00:45:36,401
Let us send for some wine.

656
00:45:39,370 --> 00:45:42,340
A talent of mine is
the anticipation of your needs.

657
00:45:47,378 --> 00:45:51,049
Mm, I believe
all pleasure is in...

658
00:45:51,049 --> 00:45:52,750
anticipation.

659
00:45:54,252 --> 00:45:57,489
Not all of it, surely.

660
00:46:06,931 --> 00:46:09,767
What are you here for, Vicomte?

661
00:46:14,439 --> 00:46:16,307
What does anyone want from you?

662
00:46:16,307 --> 00:46:18,042
Well...

663
00:46:18,042 --> 00:46:20,512
- men want to fuck me.
- Mm-hmm.

664
00:46:20,512 --> 00:46:25,083
And though you clearly
have balls,

665
00:46:25,083 --> 00:46:27,085
they're not
where they should be.

666
00:46:28,953 --> 00:46:31,556
And if you were the Vicomte,

667
00:46:31,789 --> 00:46:34,292
you would have chosen Theseus,

668
00:46:34,292 --> 00:46:36,327
not Ariadne.

669
00:46:38,163 --> 00:46:40,565
Prévan likes hard bodies.

670
00:46:42,100 --> 00:46:44,335
Who are you?

671
00:46:44,335 --> 00:46:46,104
And don't lie,
or Monsieur Darcque

672
00:46:46,104 --> 00:46:48,039
will cut us both a new smile.

673
00:46:49,307 --> 00:46:51,543
I am a friend of a friend.

674
00:46:51,543 --> 00:46:54,412
What friend
do we have in common?

675
00:46:55,346 --> 00:46:57,482
- The Marquise de Merteuil.
- Mm.

676
00:46:58,983 --> 00:47:01,052
She was no friend of ours.

677
00:47:02,053 --> 00:47:04,989
You must do better... friend,

678
00:47:04,989 --> 00:47:07,058
or you will not
leave this room.

679
00:47:09,127 --> 00:47:11,262
They can see us
through the walls.

680
00:47:15,133 --> 00:47:16,868
Kiss me.

681
00:47:29,380 --> 00:47:31,482
I will need
some help with this.

682
00:47:32,617 --> 00:47:34,586
You'll have to do better
than that.

683
00:47:40,291 --> 00:47:42,026
I beg you.

684
00:47:50,401 --> 00:47:52,103
I seem to have
the hang of this.

685
00:47:53,304 --> 00:47:55,907
Forgive me.

686
00:47:55,907 --> 00:47:58,243
If I wasn't in such a rush...

687
00:47:58,243 --> 00:47:59,510
That's what they all say.

688
00:48:01,246 --> 00:48:02,513
Close your eyes.

689
00:48:04,215 --> 00:48:05,516
Count to ten.

690
00:48:07,418 --> 00:48:08,653
Hmm.

691
00:48:08,886 --> 00:48:10,922
Hey!

692
00:48:12,257 --> 00:48:15,293
She wanted
your forgiveness...

693
00:48:15,293 --> 00:48:16,661
Ariadne.

694
00:48:18,029 --> 00:48:21,099
"The bitter secret
our marriage bore.

695
00:48:21,099 --> 00:48:24,302
Forgive me."
Those were her last words.

696
00:48:24,302 --> 00:48:26,037
What do they mean?

697
00:48:26,037 --> 00:48:28,906
It's we who should have asked
her forgiveness.

698
00:48:28,906 --> 00:48:31,909
The things we do here
condemn us all to hell.

699
00:48:32,677 --> 00:48:34,178
Who's "we"?

700
00:48:34,178 --> 00:48:37,315
She spoke only of you,
of Ariadne.

701
00:48:38,383 --> 00:48:40,151
Why should I trust you?

702
00:48:41,386 --> 00:48:43,254
Because I have been
where you are.

703
00:48:47,558 --> 00:48:50,361
We are all Ariadnes here.

704
00:49:02,273 --> 00:49:06,444
Aah!

705
00:49:08,046 --> 00:49:09,514
The Marquis.

706
00:49:11,616 --> 00:49:13,551
He comes to you?

707
00:49:13,551 --> 00:49:15,320
No.

708
00:49:20,158 --> 00:49:22,126
He owns us.

709
00:49:24,162 --> 00:49:26,631
Merteuil.

710
00:49:26,631 --> 00:49:28,232
We draw secrets like kisses

711
00:49:28,232 --> 00:49:30,101
from the men who come here

712
00:49:30,101 --> 00:49:31,169
for the Marquis.

713
00:49:31,169 --> 00:49:32,570
What secrets?

714
00:49:32,570 --> 00:49:35,239
All those little indiscretions
a man may share

715
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:37,608
when he comes...

716
00:49:37,608 --> 00:49:40,178
are given to him.

717
00:49:40,178 --> 00:49:43,181
Secrets to be used
in the future.

718
00:49:43,181 --> 00:49:44,649
The more we draw,

719
00:49:44,649 --> 00:49:46,651
the more chance
we'll be given our freedom.

720
00:49:49,654 --> 00:49:53,358
Do not draw more suspicion
than you already have.

721
00:50:06,471 --> 00:50:09,474
- Camille?
- <i>Harder, harder!</i>

722
00:50:09,474 --> 00:50:11,109
<i>Harder!</i>

723
00:50:18,483 --> 00:50:19,484
Camille?

724
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:25,089
<i>Harder! Harder!</i>

725
00:50:27,625 --> 00:50:29,360
Who the hell are you?

726
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:30,728
Guard!

727
00:50:37,034 --> 00:50:38,503
Get out of here.

728
00:50:39,637 --> 00:50:40,738
<i>Camille!</i>

729
00:50:41,773 --> 00:50:42,774
We have to go.

730
00:50:52,784 --> 00:50:55,086
<i>Camille, now!</i>

731
00:50:59,757 --> 00:51:00,758
That's him.

732
00:51:02,527 --> 00:51:04,295
The servants' stairs. Go.

733
00:51:17,842 --> 00:51:18,843
Over here!

734
00:51:24,482 --> 00:51:25,583
Go! Go!

735
00:51:31,389 --> 00:51:32,857
I didn't know you were so fast!

736
00:51:33,090 --> 00:51:35,092
It's easier to run as a man.

737
00:51:35,092 --> 00:51:36,727
And then the girl--
you were kissing her.

738
00:51:36,727 --> 00:51:39,397
It's good manners, isn't it,
to kiss afterwards?

739
00:51:40,731 --> 00:51:42,533
Who was the naked man?

740
00:51:42,533 --> 00:51:44,268
We weren't formally introduced.

741
00:51:44,268 --> 00:51:46,771
Bore a striking resemblance
to the archbishop of Paris.

742
00:51:46,771 --> 00:51:48,139
My God!

743
00:51:48,139 --> 00:51:49,574
Well?

744
00:51:49,574 --> 00:51:50,842
I know Jean's secret.

745
00:51:50,842 --> 00:51:52,810
I know what Ariadne means.

746
00:51:52,810 --> 00:51:54,245
Thank you.

747
00:51:54,245 --> 00:51:57,148
At your service,
as you are at mine.

748
00:51:57,148 --> 00:51:59,550
I will visit Ondine again.

749
00:51:59,550 --> 00:52:01,285
And we'll have
further adventures.

750
00:52:02,854 --> 00:52:05,256
Is that not what brothers do?

751
00:52:36,621 --> 00:52:39,323
The world is a little kinder
to us orphans tonight,

752
00:52:39,323 --> 00:52:40,558
my friend.

753
00:52:51,402 --> 00:52:53,471
I couldn't stop him.

754
00:52:55,172 --> 00:52:56,941
What are you talking about?

755
00:52:57,174 --> 00:53:00,578
He demanded the letter.

756
00:53:00,578 --> 00:53:02,747
And you simply gave it to him?

757
00:53:02,747 --> 00:53:04,782
He is master of this house.

758
00:53:05,816 --> 00:53:06,918
Where is he?

759
00:53:06,918 --> 00:53:09,754
Gone...
to his engagement party.

760
00:53:09,754 --> 00:53:12,223
He's marrying
Emilie de Sevigny,

761
00:53:12,223 --> 00:53:14,692
<i>and he left instructions
for me to ensure</i>

762
00:53:14,692 --> 00:53:16,761
<i>that you left this house.</i>

763
00:53:18,863 --> 00:53:21,198
I'm sorry, mademoiselle,
it was...

764
00:53:21,198 --> 00:53:23,234
the letter or my place here.

765
00:53:23,234 --> 00:53:25,770
He'll regret
how he's treated us both.

766
00:53:26,571 --> 00:53:28,873
Mademoiselle...

767
00:53:28,873 --> 00:53:32,777
I would advise
that you leave this house.

768
00:53:32,777 --> 00:53:35,513
The Marquis can do
whatever he wants

769
00:53:35,513 --> 00:53:37,515
without consequence.

770
00:53:37,515 --> 00:53:41,552
You can't win
against that sort of power.

771
00:53:45,590 --> 00:53:47,825
You don't know me.

772
00:53:52,263 --> 00:53:54,231
You don't know me, Majordome.
