THE SEDUCTION
2
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:28,640
Come in.
3
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,400
I met a lovely young man.
4
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:41,640
I'm glad to see you preserve
your beautiful vitality.
5
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:44,920
Did you receive my letter?
6
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:47,280
Yes.
7
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,080
I'll be in Versailles tomorrow.
8
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,360
Your fate will be decided there.
9
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,640
With your beloved Gercourt?
10
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,320
It was just playacting.
11
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,840
Gercourt and Castellet have already
secured the king's decision.
12
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,600
Your title and property
will be taken from you.
13
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,880
Well, if the final act
is already decided
14
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,400
the show promises
to be a mediocre affair.
15
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,800
Even if, in this play,
the role of the surprise witness
16
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,120
and perfect traitor seems
to suit you perfectly.
17
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,680
Isabelle, I want to help you.
18
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:28,960
Take this.
19
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:30,520
Money?
20
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,880
Is that what our friendship
has comes down to?
21
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:39,880
You must trust me.
22
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,040
Leave for London
as quickly as possible.
23
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:44,360
But why?
24
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:45,480
I'll go to Versailles.
25
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,120
It's impossible.
26
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,000
I have to defend myself.
27
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,760
Up to now, you've known better
than to underestimate me.
28
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,200
You should continue.
29
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,640
Leave for London today.
30
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,240
I have precious friends who will...
31
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,600
"Lady Isabelle..."
32
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,480
That will allow you to settle there.
33
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:18,440
When should I pay you back?
34
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:19,800
Never.
35
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,080
You are free.
36
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:24,400
Thank you.
37
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,120
Madame.
38
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:46,840
I'm starving.
39
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,720
Madame de Volanges is here, Madame.
40
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,720
She is accompanied by a bailiff.
41
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,560
Very well. Bring them in.
42
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:07,640
But...
43
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,600
they didn't ask to see you.
44
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:18,520
Hello.
45
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:20,560
Madame.
46
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,920
I didn't want to disturb your dinner.
47
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,080
Madame the Marquise, please.
48
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:31,720
What are you doing?
49
00:04:32,280 --> 00:04:33,520
An inventory.
50
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,720
You know how much I loved my brother.
51
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,200
This castle reminds me of him.
52
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,440
So you'll understand that
I can't allow you to raid this house
53
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,840
before you leave it for good.
54
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,640
I am Marquise de Merteuil
55
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,720
and I will die Marquise de Merteuil.
56
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,040
You will die as a whore.
57
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:54,440
The way you were born.
58
00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:56,200
And the way you've always lived.
59
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,560
How could my little Cécile,
my tender child
60
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,120
fall under your control?
61
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,920
The Comte de Gercourt will expose you
in front of our good king.
62
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,440
You have never been married
to the Marquis de Merteuil.
63
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,080
You have simply abused the kindness
and the generosity...
64
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,000
of a old man.
65
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,680
Your brother was an old pervert
who treated me like a piece of meat.
66
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,520
I've been married before
67
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,280
and I deserve every last pisspot
in this castle.
68
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:35,720
You're crazy.
69
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:43,960
Go on.
70
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:00,840
Madame?
71
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:04,840
I came to say goodbye.
72
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:06,880
I heard you were going to Versailles.
73
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,840
To say goodbye
and maybe talk about Cécile?
74
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,480
Cécile is neither with her mother
nor with the Marquise de Merteuil
75
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:15,840
who refused to receive me.
76
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,560
If you know where she is, I beg you.
77
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:20,360
Alas.
78
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:22,920
I am sorry.
79
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,080
I can't help you.
80
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,280
I don't understand.
81
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,280
I was told that the Marquise
de Merteuil was in trouble.
82
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:36,320
I could have helped her.
83
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:38,680
She chose a different path.
84
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:42,960
But, like you...
85
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,640
I have a bitter taste in my mouth.
86
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:51,560
I thought she was mine.
87
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,400
Isabelle is burning with rage.
88
00:06:58,480 --> 00:06:59,960
and won't die
without giving up a fight.
89
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,640
Your face seems veiled in melancholy.
90
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,840
Go on, young man.
91
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,320
Madame, I forbid you.
92
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:15,960
You forbid me?
93
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,080
Yes, I forbid you.
94
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,480
I forbid you not to see yourself
as I see you.
95
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:23,560
Look at yourself.
96
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:33,400
This woman...
97
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:35,960
Is she made for regrets?
98
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,560
If Cécile could hear you
speaking to me so freely...
99
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,360
she would be so proud of you.
100
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,840
Excuse me.
101
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:26,960
- Madame, I feel really--
- That's enough!
102
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,360
Excuse me, Madame.
103
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,680
- I'm thinking about Cécile, so...
- She's not here.
104
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,040
Do you know where she is?
105
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,600
I know everything
about my nephew's life.
106
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:57,240
Get out.
107
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,760
Get my horses ready, I'm going out.
108
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:34,520
Yes, Madame.
109
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,640
Dear Vicomte,
I had to see you urgently.
110
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,400
Come with me to Versailles.
111
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:47,640
Vicomte...
112
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,400
I'm sorry I come unannounced.
113
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,720
My dear Vicomte, how are you?
114
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,560
My situation is extremely serious.
115
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,480
I am ruined, humiliated, destroyed.
116
00:09:59,560 --> 00:10:00,600
My dear Vicomte...
117
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,600
My life is in your hands.
118
00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:06,960
I beg you,
come with me to Versailles.
119
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,760
Only your presence will allow me
to be heard.
120
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:34,920
Hello, Cécile.
121
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:36,280
Madame.
122
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,680
I had a dreadful conversation
with your aunt.
123
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:49,880
I know.
124
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:51,600
She's right.
125
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:53,880
Alone in Versailles,
I would be helpless.
126
00:10:58,400 --> 00:10:59,400
Let's go together.
127
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,240
I risk losing my title
and my property.
128
00:11:02,680 --> 00:11:04,640
I'd rather die
than imagine you losing everything.
129
00:11:05,560 --> 00:11:06,880
So you want to help me?
130
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,960
Me? Begging the king for my life
and the life of my dearest friend?
131
00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:13,360
Not at the sacrifice
of my reputation, no.
132
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:14,720
Definitely not.
133
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,680
You're a man, a vicomte no less.
134
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,240
I'm sure you'll be able
to be heard by the king.
135
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:22,320
No.
136
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,120
I am fortunate
to have been born a man vicomte
137
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,320
and the nephew of my dear aunt
138
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:28,520
who looks after me like an angel.
139
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:30,120
So I'll be spared.
140
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,440
Your position is more delicate,
I agree.
141
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,040
I'd love to help you.
142
00:11:40,560 --> 00:11:41,560
But how?
143
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:50,760
I know you, Vicomte.
144
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:52,800
Now that we're alone,
stop playing games
145
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,640
and tell me clearly what you want.
146
00:11:55,560 --> 00:11:56,560
Everything.
147
00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,200
You.
148
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,120
Your hand.
149
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,280
It's ironic,
but that's the way it is.
150
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,560
Your salvation will come
from the Church
151
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,480
or more precisely
from a friend of mine
152
00:12:11,560 --> 00:12:13,880
a cardinal, who owes me a favor.
153
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:16,680
He has the power to marry us again.
154
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,040
This would make
our first union null and void.
155
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:21,600
Not even the king will be able
to disapprove.
156
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,480
You'll forgive me if I don't kneel
to ask for your hand.
157
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,560
You know as well as I do
that you're already mine.
158
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,000
By marrying you,
I give myself to you a second time.
159
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,400
It would be a fitting end
to our story.
160
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,280
In fact,
I've already started writing it.
161
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:47,400
I'd like your opinion.
162
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:00,920
Is that your story?
163
00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:05,360
"Ready to marry the man
she describes as perfect and sublime.
164
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,280
Your heroine says she's in love,
burning with pleasure and shame"?
165
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:10,520
Oh, sure, it's just a bit arranged.
166
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,600
Literature must transform reality
into something more beautiful
167
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:15,160
to make it more interesting.
168
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:18,160
Be careful!
169
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:20,120
Valmont.
170
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:26,880
Chevalier, stop, please!
171
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,960
Seeing you defend him makes me want
to shoot the bastard even more.
172
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,160
Give me your weapon.
173
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:33,280
Chevalier.
174
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,560
I don't know what part you played
in my misfortune, Madame, but...
175
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:37,760
If anyone has to pay, it's me.
176
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,200
I pushed Cécile in this direction
to complete her education.
177
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:45,800
Now, she's a free woman.
178
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,000
She has nothing to be ashamed of.
179
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:50,760
And especially not
in front of a fool like you.
180
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:02,360
Shoot.
181
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,280
Come on, shoot.
182
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:11,600
Shoot!
183
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:14,440
Isabelle.
184
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,680
- Give me the gun.
- No, Mademoiselle.
185
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:22,920
Cécile, I love you.
186
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:25,320
That's all I have.
187
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:28,920
At first, I thought...
188
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,080
I thought that loving you
189
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,560
meant accepting you as you are
and not as I dream you.
190
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,720
Not possessing you,
but accompanying you
191
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,600
loving you as much as I can.
192
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,280
That I should belong to no one
and take pleasure in it.
193
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:47,560
Learn to be as free as you.
194
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,680
So you would love me.
195
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:54,520
But no.
196
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,040
Of course not, Miss.
197
00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,640
My head tells me to think that way.
198
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,240
But my body yells at me
that the way I love you is true...
199
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:04,840
and healthy...
200
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:06,080
and beautiful.
201
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,480
So why do I feel so lonely and lost?
202
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:25,120
Chevalier.
203
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,080
What if Danceny was right?
204
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:03,840
This simpleton?
205
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,040
This simpleton is here right now
206
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,880
with the woman he loves
and who loves him back.
207
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,200
Are you that scared?
208
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:13,520
Of what?
209
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:18,240
You're not listening to me.
210
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:24,120
Come.
211
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:43,120
This is my life.
212
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:44,560
And it's yours.
213
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:48,960
I'm showing you who I really am.
214
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:54,640
And here?
215
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:55,920
Read them, please.
216
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:58,120
I have nothing to hide.
217
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:03,160
I'll leave you to it.
218
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:04,240
Take your time.
219
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,080
Do you want me to believe
that you have become another man?
220
00:17:17,120 --> 00:17:18,240
I've seduced women
221
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,800
whose husbands are among the most
powerful men in the kingdom...
222
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,080
there is here enough to get me killed
a thousand times over.
223
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,080
My recklessness surprises you?
224
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:29,560
You see.
225
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:31,440
You've made a fool of me.
226
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,320
It was already the role you chose
when you came to meet me.
227
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,920
Do you really see no difference
between the one I was then
228
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,120
and the one I am now because of you?
229
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:56,200
What are you doing?
230
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,640
I'd like to warm your heart.
231
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:16,040
It's not too late.
232
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,480
You need to believe
that I can change too.
233
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:58,800
Stay tonight.
234
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:03,480
Marry me.
235
00:20:56,120 --> 00:20:57,120
Cécile?
236
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:03,320
Are you okay?
237
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,160
What happened
between you and Valmont?
238
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:16,280
Are you going to tell me?
239
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:18,400
Please.
240
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,320
Don't lie to me, I want the truth.
241
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:23,360
How many times
did you sleep with him?
242
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,200
How many times?
243
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:19,040
My dear Aunt...
244
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,000
The game comes to an end.
245
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,160
And I've won.
246
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:28,960
Tonight, Isabelle will come.
247
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:31,560
And tomorrow, she'll marry me.
248
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:36,920
She has no other choice.
249
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:42,560
Isabelle lost.
250
00:24:43,360 --> 00:24:45,040
But that's what was needed
so we could be happy.
251
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:48,520
In order to save her.
252
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:50,920
So that I could finally say
253
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,760
those simple words
that I've held out for so long.
254
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:55,440
I love her.
255
00:25:21,360 --> 00:25:23,040
I'll get the bad role again.
256
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:29,920
What are you talking about?
257
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:32,400
This letter...
258
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,440
Did you write it for her? Your aunt?
259
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:36,760
Or to me?
260
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,720
To better seal this wedding,
which will also be...
261
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:41,760
above all else...
262
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:44,640
your most perfect triumph?
263
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:48,920
You knew...
264
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:50,520
I was coming.
265
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,560
You knew I needed you.
266
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,320
You prepared the final blow.
267
00:25:58,120 --> 00:25:59,480
It's perfectly reasonable.
268
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,120
I turned you into a monster.
269
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,120
I'll leave you my friend.
270
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:22,360
I have to go to Versailles.
271
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:53,000
Dear Valmont...
272
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:54,520
My great Valmont...
273
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:56,400
My eternal one...
274
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:00,880
Until then,
I had only seen Versailles
275
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:02,480
through a few pale engravings.
276
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,760
but I had to stop myself
getting emotional.
277
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,960
You and your aunt
had promised me the worst.
278
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,560
My situation was desperate.
279
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:35,560
My insolence made it even worse.
280
00:27:36,120 --> 00:27:37,240
But I wasn't afraid.
281
00:27:56,360 --> 00:27:59,000
Maybe I was enjoying my last steps
as a free woman.
282
00:28:09,120 --> 00:28:11,480
But I dared to look
the greatest of kings in the eyes.
283
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:18,240
Your Majesty.
284
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:28,520
I was going to the scaffold
285
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,320
certain of my eternity.
286
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,960
And the man I had in front of me
was only a man
287
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:36,640
no different than the others.
288
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:42,280
Your aunt was there
289
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,800
in a sinister role
that didn't suit her at all.
290
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,800
She was the one who taught me
to never open my heart.
291
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,920
Without her, I wouldn't be who I am.
292
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,040
At this great ball of impostors
293
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,080
I fitted in perfectly.
294
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,880
And I was putting on perhaps,
for the last time
295
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,320
my costume
as the Marquise de Merteuil
296
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,160
the enamored wife of a great warrior
at the service of the kingdom
297
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,040
and its influence
across the Atlantic.
298
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:11,160
Madame, I recognize in you
299
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,200
virtues particularly dear
to my heart.
300
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:15,720
Courage.
301
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,120
Without which you would never
have dared to come here...
302
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,000
in Versailles.
303
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:22,600
Passion.
304
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:24,760
That raw force
305
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,320
which, channeled at the service
of a just and noble cause
306
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:30,200
vibrates...
307
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,760
to the point of inspiring
and revealing the saddest souls.
308
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:37,680
And last...
309
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:40,480
but not least.
310
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,720
In you, I distinguish
the most gracious of qualities.
311
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:57,960
Sincerity.
312
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:02,920
Thank you for coming to me
313
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,000
Madame the Marquise,
Isabelle de Merteuil.
314
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,200
My love, I would like to write
to you here that, at that moment
315
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,840
I knew I had become essential
to the kingdom
316
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:39,360
that I had saved my title
317
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,440
by convincing the king
to make me the equal of his ministers
318
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:44,480
the instrument of his will.
319
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:52,920
But what I saw
in the eyes of this man...
320
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,320
king by the grace of God alone
321
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,680
appeared to me
of a much more familiar nature.
322
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,280
Prince or slave...
323
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,280
All men are equal
when it comes to desire.
324
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:11,720
The next day...
325
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:16,520
a steward came to explain to me
with remarkable rigor and precision
326
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,160
the role that will become mine.
327
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,400
As His Majesty's first courtesan
328
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,720
I will have to learn everything
about him.
329
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,280
His little habits
as well as his great appetites.
330
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:38,840
The king would no longer be bored.
331
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:49,360
My love...
332
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:56,000
I think again and again
of the night we spent together.
333
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:52,680
My love...
334
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,320
I'd also like to write to you
about how much I miss you.
335
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,080
But I tell you and I tell you again
336
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,240
in these letters
that you can't read anymore
337
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:03,880
I have taken a pledge
of absolute sincerity.
338
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,440
And the truth is that your death
fulfills me as much as it ravages me.
339
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,480
So you will never betray me.
340
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:48,080
My love...
341
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,480
I would have been the meaner
of the two of us.
342
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:53,720
And that suits me.
343
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,800
Because it gives me the strength
I need to survive.
344
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,000
Forever merciless.
345
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,280
And forever impenetrable.
