2
00:00:09,832 --> 00:00:11,856
War rages on. The Prussians and Austrians...
3
00:00:11,976 --> 00:00:14,356
... have inflicted heavy defeats on French troops
4
00:00:14,671 --> 00:00:17,703
August 10, 1792: French troops,
with the citizens of Paris...
5
00:00:17,823 --> 00:00:19,671
... attack the Tuileries Palace
6
00:00:20,099 --> 00:00:24,686
The royal family flees to the National
Assembly ; the King is removed from power
7
00:00:25,036 --> 00:00:28,359
August 13, 1792 - The King and his family
are imprisoned in the Temple...
8
00:00:28,479 --> 00:00:30,487
... by order of
Paris's Insurrectional Council
9
00:00:57,909 --> 00:01:00,338
The French Revolution : "Years of Terror"
10
00:02:13,861 --> 00:02:15,179
August 13, 1792
11
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,102
Come, Marie-Th�r�se
12
00:02:27,420 --> 00:02:28,452
Smile, dear
13
00:02:49,441 --> 00:02:54,044
Now sir, you're going
where you belong : behind bars
14
00:03:10,971 --> 00:03:14,575
I hope at least they'll put us in the
same area where the Comte d'Artois--
15
00:03:14,695 --> 00:03:15,655
No talking !
16
00:03:16,622 --> 00:03:17,860
Don't raise your voice !
17
00:03:18,527 --> 00:03:20,003
He raised his voice to me !
18
00:03:20,273 --> 00:03:21,373
How dare you !
19
00:03:23,580 --> 00:03:24,707
Don't touch her !
20
00:03:29,596 --> 00:03:30,966
Where are you taking her ?
21
00:03:31,357 --> 00:03:33,791
- I protest, sir !
- Naturally, Mr. Veto
22
00:03:36,581 --> 00:03:39,250
What you have to say
is no longer of any importance
23
00:04:10,776 --> 00:04:13,196
Cl�ry ! You here ?
24
00:04:17,345 --> 00:04:19,948
Your Majesty...
I begged them to let me stay
25
00:04:21,646 --> 00:04:23,903
You've already done
more than your duty for me
26
00:04:49,472 --> 00:04:51,044
Never a moment's peace !
27
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,377
Robespierre is in his room
28
00:05:03,309 --> 00:05:04,499
I'll take you up
29
00:05:16,669 --> 00:05:18,557
How can you work in this racket ?
30
00:05:21,128 --> 00:05:24,274
It's over, Maxime.
The King has been removed from power
31
00:05:24,954 --> 00:05:27,022
There is a provisional
council of six ministers
32
00:05:27,335 --> 00:05:29,481
Danton is Justice Minister
33
00:05:30,921 --> 00:05:31,890
Over ?
34
00:05:34,096 --> 00:05:37,238
We may be just at the beginning, Camille
35
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,072
Lafayette's Headquarters
36
00:05:46,580 --> 00:05:50,747
I've searched my conscience,
and can find no comfort
37
00:05:52,851 --> 00:05:55,501
I cannot accept
the legality of this government
38
00:05:57,226 --> 00:06:01,210
In Paris they call me
a traitor for my opinions
39
00:06:01,607 --> 00:06:02,924
Me, Lafayette !
40
00:06:06,226 --> 00:06:09,961
If by refusing to serve these men,
who have destroyed everything...
41
00:06:10,211 --> 00:06:14,173
... by striking at the Crown
and the constitution, I am a traitor
42
00:06:16,113 --> 00:06:17,160
Then so be it
43
00:06:18,001 --> 00:06:19,541
Let slander triumph
44
00:06:21,819 --> 00:06:23,359
I have no place here
45
00:06:32,072 --> 00:06:35,754
As for you, follow your conscience
46
00:06:38,341 --> 00:06:40,936
I have no intention of influencing you
47
00:07:36,028 --> 00:07:37,547
Lafayette has deserted, Sire
48
00:07:37,855 --> 00:07:40,146
The Prussians have taken Longwy
49
00:07:40,728 --> 00:07:43,022
It seems nothing can stop them
50
00:07:43,142 --> 00:07:45,815
In two weeks they'll be in Paris,
and you'll be free
51
00:08:18,023 --> 00:08:20,118
I'm leaving for Amiens tomorrow !
52
00:08:32,623 --> 00:08:34,269
This government will not leave Paris
53
00:08:35,401 --> 00:08:37,477
This government will not cower in fear
54
00:08:38,331 --> 00:08:40,830
This government will stand
and fight and win
55
00:08:41,981 --> 00:08:44,610
No matter how, no matter the cost
56
00:08:45,759 --> 00:08:49,760
Every man must fight,
with every gun, sword or pike
57
00:08:50,918 --> 00:08:54,604
And those who dare to show fear,
will know an even worse terror
58
00:09:01,024 --> 00:09:05,015
If we have 30,000 traitors,
they must be arrested tomorrow
59
00:09:06,897 --> 00:09:12,483
To beat our enemies we must demonstrate
daring, more daring and even more daring
60
00:09:13,157 --> 00:09:14,357
To save France !
61
00:09:15,839 --> 00:09:19,992
Fabre, take these death sentences
from Camille and put them on the list
62
00:09:20,847 --> 00:09:25,727
Why haven't I received reports from the
Special Committee in Nevers and Tours ?
63
00:09:26,102 --> 00:09:27,515
Mercy for my son !
64
00:09:32,935 --> 00:09:34,332
My husband is innocent !
65
00:09:52,871 --> 00:09:57,447
Come on, time for bed ;
leave Uncle Maxime alone
66
00:10:00,725 --> 00:10:04,265
He's very funny... the way babies are
67
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,175
Especially when he wakes us up
at 1:00 in the morning...
68
00:10:08,295 --> 00:10:09,720
...and 2:00 and 4:30 !
69
00:10:23,066 --> 00:10:25,114
Won't you say goodnight to your son ?
70
00:10:51,530 --> 00:10:53,967
I know what you're feeling, Camille...
71
00:10:56,173 --> 00:10:59,363
... but we can't wage war
with a knife in our backs
72
00:11:01,628 --> 00:11:03,514
But these are our own people
73
00:11:07,406 --> 00:11:10,200
Our people don't want to go backwards
74
00:11:13,260 --> 00:11:17,117
Our people know that we must
win this war at any cost
75
00:11:56,713 --> 00:11:59,047
The enemies in our midst
are triumphant tonight
76
00:11:59,570 --> 00:12:01,681
The Prussians have taken Verdun
77
00:12:05,106 --> 00:12:10,531
The aristocrats, priests, traitors,
plotters in our prisons...
78
00:12:11,058 --> 00:12:13,668
... all await the arrival
of their foreign masters
79
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:18,861
This will be the signal to rise up and
join the forces of the King of Prussia !
80
00:12:18,981 --> 00:12:20,504
Death to the traitors !
81
00:14:01,496 --> 00:14:03,527
They've broken into
all the prisons in Paris
82
00:14:03,647 --> 00:14:07,833
They're slaughtering anyone
suspected of supporting the King
83
00:14:09,218 --> 00:14:11,437
This isn't a Revolution anymore !
84
00:14:11,916 --> 00:14:14,536
It's a mockery of everything
we've tried to change
85
00:14:16,424 --> 00:14:17,469
Are you listening ?
86
00:14:19,162 --> 00:14:20,797
Yes, I'm listening
87
00:14:21,305 --> 00:14:23,709
- Then do something !
- Do what ?
88
00:14:27,779 --> 00:14:32,196
Do you think I control these people ?
Do you think anyone can ?
89
00:14:33,462 --> 00:14:35,081
You are the Minister !
90
00:14:39,782 --> 00:14:42,944
You want the Minister to give orders
that won't be carried out ?
91
00:14:43,940 --> 00:14:49,250
You want me to send in troops, who'll
turn around and join in the slaughter ?
92
00:14:51,349 --> 00:14:54,691
Is that your plan,
to show who's in charge here ?
93
00:14:55,793 --> 00:14:58,295
If you're not responsible, then who is ?
94
00:14:59,096 --> 00:15:00,269
I don't know.
95
00:15:01,541 --> 00:15:05,768
But the wise man know when he's
powerless... and he keeps his mouth shut
96
00:15:07,302 --> 00:15:11,368
Especially if he wants people to listen
to him again, and believe me, I do
97
00:15:13,902 --> 00:15:14,643
I do
98
00:15:46,464 --> 00:15:47,657
Save me !
99
00:16:06,503 --> 00:16:08,710
The horror of it ! The horror !
100
00:16:12,297 --> 00:16:13,873
You have to do something
101
00:16:17,365 --> 00:16:18,386
Talk to me
102
00:16:23,127 --> 00:16:24,517
This can't go on
103
00:16:27,005 --> 00:16:28,592
Everything's going wrong
104
00:16:31,989 --> 00:16:33,830
This isn't what we wanted
105
00:16:36,508 --> 00:16:37,921
God bless the King
106
00:16:39,143 --> 00:16:40,381
God bless Mama
107
00:16:41,556 --> 00:16:43,604
God bless the Princess de Lamballes
108
00:16:46,802 --> 00:16:48,707
God bless Princess Elisabeth
109
00:17:37,861 --> 00:17:40,271
How do you like your friend Lamballes ?
110
00:17:50,822 --> 00:17:55,855
True, what happened is an outrage,
an insult to the Revolution
111
00:17:58,219 --> 00:17:59,755
And to everyone here
112
00:18:00,712 --> 00:18:02,045
But we're at war
113
00:18:03,759 --> 00:18:08,204
And today those in France
who've conspired against us...
114
00:18:09,077 --> 00:18:11,156
... are shaking with terror
115
00:18:13,231 --> 00:18:15,755
Today, we have no enemies at our backs
116
00:18:17,183 --> 00:18:21,283
It's an advantage I don't want to waste
117
00:18:23,881 --> 00:18:27,135
Today our army
can face the Prussians...
118
00:18:27,255 --> 00:18:29,881
... without fear of
the King's friends in Paris
119
00:18:39,519 --> 00:18:41,673
Valmy, September 20, 1792
120
00:22:18,952 --> 00:22:21,841
On this memorable day,
the National Assembly...
121
00:22:21,961 --> 00:22:25,313
... elected by all the people of France,
meets for the first time
122
00:22:26,523 --> 00:22:30,113
I put to the vote the motion
of Citizen Collot-d'Herbois...
123
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:36,430
... proclaiming that the monarchy
in France is abolished
124
00:22:46,737 --> 00:22:48,340
The motion is carried !
125
00:22:56,809 --> 00:23:01,065
I move that the new
Constitution of the Republic...
126
00:23:02,826 --> 00:23:07,069
... be put to the French people
as a whole for their approval
127
00:23:15,606 --> 00:23:16,829
The motion is carried
128
00:23:17,558 --> 00:23:18,572
I move--
129
00:23:19,161 --> 00:23:21,869
Please, Citizen, come to the lectern
130
00:23:22,248 --> 00:23:24,262
I can say what I wish to say from here
131
00:23:24,855 --> 00:23:28,966
I ask that from today,
all public documents...
132
00:23:29,490 --> 00:23:32,966
... be dated from Year One
of the French Republic
133
00:24:21,296 --> 00:24:23,484
I've observed you. I admire you
134
00:24:25,739 --> 00:24:27,120
But I'm concerned
135
00:24:28,149 --> 00:24:32,149
You're a leader ; right now you're leader
of the revolutionary republic
136
00:24:32,990 --> 00:24:36,928
At the same time, you have contacts
with the most conservative members
137
00:24:39,043 --> 00:24:40,424
It's understandable
138
00:24:42,313 --> 00:24:47,829
As Mirabeau used to say, the hard thing
is not to start a revolution...
139
00:24:48,199 --> 00:24:50,030
... but to know
when it's gone far enough
140
00:24:52,368 --> 00:24:55,929
We all try to find a proper balance
141
00:24:59,795 --> 00:25:04,367
Frankly, Georges,
as a friend I must warn you
142
00:25:05,683 --> 00:25:10,378
You're rich, powerful, and popular
143
00:25:11,531 --> 00:25:13,103
It's a dangerous situation
144
00:25:15,574 --> 00:25:18,407
The rich are afraid
of your power and popularity...
145
00:25:19,211 --> 00:25:21,049
... and will try to bring you down
146
00:25:21,457 --> 00:25:24,891
The poor forgive your wealth...
147
00:25:25,011 --> 00:25:29,717
... but only if you use it to bring the
Revolution to its just, natural conclusion
148
00:25:32,321 --> 00:25:34,840
"A just and natural conclusion"
149
00:25:41,011 --> 00:25:42,743
The death of the King
150
00:25:45,487 --> 00:25:46,908
Is that what you want ?
151
00:25:49,001 --> 00:25:53,539
I don't wish to harm either the King or
his family ; what good would it do ?
152
00:25:56,312 --> 00:25:58,467
But the war is not over
153
00:26:00,337 --> 00:26:03,225
We could reach a point
where it's impossible...
154
00:26:03,345 --> 00:26:06,385
... to save both the King
and the Revolution
155
00:26:08,310 --> 00:26:10,349
In that case, one must choose
156
00:26:11,874 --> 00:26:15,457
We need to know how we'll choose,
if it comes to that
157
00:26:18,082 --> 00:26:19,269
Don't you agree ?
158
00:26:25,255 --> 00:26:26,202
Your hat
159
00:26:38,858 --> 00:26:41,265
- Is everything alright ?
- He's right
160
00:26:43,588 --> 00:26:45,016
He's always right
161
00:26:46,796 --> 00:26:49,828
It's just that I'd like
to break his neck
162
00:26:51,144 --> 00:26:52,604
Don't worry, I won't
163
00:26:57,018 --> 00:26:58,285
Unless I have to
164
00:27:21,300 --> 00:27:22,535
I request the floor
165
00:27:29,342 --> 00:27:31,091
Your name, Citizen ?
166
00:27:31,781 --> 00:27:34,492
Saint-Just.
From the Department of the Aisne
167
00:27:35,375 --> 00:27:37,481
Take the lectern, Citizen Saint-Just
168
00:27:45,691 --> 00:27:50,555
I, like most of you, would joyfully
give my life for this Republic
169
00:27:53,688 --> 00:27:59,024
I, like most of you, stand against all
enemies who threaten this Republic
170
00:28:02,693 --> 00:28:07,407
I, like all of you,
know the name and face of this enemy
171
00:28:11,781 --> 00:28:15,174
I, like none here,
am ready to strike at this enemy
172
00:28:21,030 --> 00:28:25,300
As long as he lives, Louis Capet will be
a rallying symbol for the traitors...
173
00:28:25,705 --> 00:28:27,731
... who remain hidden among us
174
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,529
And for all enemies abroad
who wait the moment to crush us
175
00:28:33,025 --> 00:28:36,319
In the name of all we've accomplished,
we cannot weaken
176
00:28:36,891 --> 00:28:38,431
We cannot hesitate
177
00:28:41,062 --> 00:28:45,410
We do both, as long as the heir...
178
00:28:45,530 --> 00:28:49,902
... of a long line of tyrants
remains alive and in our power
179
00:28:51,548 --> 00:28:54,176
Citizens, a king is not an ordinary man
180
00:28:55,125 --> 00:28:59,056
He's a rebel - a usurper
of the rights of other men
181
00:29:02,597 --> 00:29:04,238
A king must reign--
182
00:29:06,993 --> 00:29:07,936
Or die
183
00:29:49,821 --> 00:29:54,062
Well done, Charles.
Very nice writing - and reading !
184
00:30:03,685 --> 00:30:05,401
Send the child away
185
00:30:06,171 --> 00:30:07,512
May I know why ?
186
00:30:08,147 --> 00:30:09,989
These gentlemen wish to speak to you
187
00:30:13,505 --> 00:30:15,911
Go and play ; we'll continue later
188
00:30:18,938 --> 00:30:20,616
What can I do for you gentlemen ?
189
00:30:22,291 --> 00:30:24,072
My name is Chambon, Mayor of Paris
190
00:30:24,192 --> 00:30:28,218
I'm here to tell you that the Convention
has decided to put you on trial
191
00:30:31,382 --> 00:30:32,650
On what charge ?
192
00:30:33,131 --> 00:30:35,781
You'll be properly
informed in due course
193
00:30:36,163 --> 00:30:37,959
You may choose your counsel
194
00:30:38,650 --> 00:30:42,685
Before and during the trial you are
forbidden all contact with your family
195
00:30:43,519 --> 00:30:47,466
Surely you're not going to prevent me
from seeing my children !
196
00:30:51,649 --> 00:30:54,124
If you insist, you may see your children
197
00:30:55,098 --> 00:30:58,980
But then they will be forbidden
to see their mother or aunt
198
00:31:06,159 --> 00:31:07,583
A difficult choice
199
00:31:08,004 --> 00:31:09,916
In fact, I have no choice
200
00:31:13,017 --> 00:31:14,061
So be it
201
00:31:16,563 --> 00:31:18,160
You've taken everything
202
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,689
It's natural that now
you take my children
203
00:31:24,728 --> 00:31:27,647
I am in your power, gentlemen
204
00:31:30,570 --> 00:31:33,650
Just tell me what you want from me
205
00:32:34,953 --> 00:32:35,899
Be seated
206
00:32:56,587 --> 00:33:02,619
The National Convention, by the authority
granted it by the French people...
207
00:33:03,363 --> 00:33:06,629
...hereby charges Louis Capet
with the following crimes :
208
00:33:06,749 --> 00:33:10,146
Attempted corruption of deputies,
starting with Mirabeau
209
00:33:10,968 --> 00:33:12,421
Attempted flight
210
00:33:12,957 --> 00:33:14,757
Massacre of the Champs de Mars
211
00:33:18,254 --> 00:33:23,291
After your return from Varennes, French
blood was shed on the Champs de Mars
212
00:33:24,783 --> 00:33:28,578
A letter proves there was a criminal
conspircy between you and Lafayette
213
00:33:29,997 --> 00:33:31,047
What do you say ?
214
00:33:32,452 --> 00:33:36,569
I knew nothing about the unfortunate
events on the Champs de Mars
215
00:33:38,559 --> 00:33:42,439
As to this letter,
I have no knowledge of it
216
00:33:43,821 --> 00:33:45,226
But it's in your handwriting
217
00:33:45,346 --> 00:33:47,183
I don't remember writing it !
218
00:33:53,319 --> 00:33:57,970
Your brothers have rallied emigr�s
to fight against France
219
00:33:59,704 --> 00:34:00,995
You didn't denounce them
220
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:07,203
I denounced their actions
as soon as I learned of them
221
00:34:08,330 --> 00:34:11,349
After making sure you wouldn't
interfere with their plans
222
00:34:12,430 --> 00:34:14,018
You're entitled to your opinion
223
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,836
It's been proved that you
encouraged regiments to desert
224
00:34:24,292 --> 00:34:25,425
Never, sir
225
00:34:27,629 --> 00:34:31,493
You vetoed measures
against dissident priests
226
00:34:31,810 --> 00:34:33,749
As the Constitution gave me the right
227
00:34:34,039 --> 00:34:37,270
Why did you double the Swiss Guard
at the beginning of August ?
228
00:34:39,614 --> 00:34:45,393
The palace was in danger ;
I was a legitimate authority
229
00:34:45,824 --> 00:34:48,153
It was my duty
to take defensive measures
230
00:34:49,225 --> 00:34:52,023
On August 10, you caused
French blood to be shed
231
00:34:52,143 --> 00:34:53,595
No, it wasn't me
232
00:34:54,445 --> 00:34:57,392
Did you have an armoury
built at the Tuileries...
233
00:34:58,183 --> 00:35:02,381
He knows it's hopeless, but he's brave.
I admire him
234
00:35:04,871 --> 00:35:06,360
Quick, I hear the guard !
235
00:35:22,727 --> 00:35:23,824
What does he say ?
236
00:35:26,151 --> 00:35:29,042
He's well... The trial is going slowly
237
00:35:31,637 --> 00:35:33,643
We mustn't hold out much hope
238
00:35:57,149 --> 00:35:59,892
Louis, we've heard your attorney's
appeal for clemency
239
00:36:00,726 --> 00:36:02,280
Before we give our verdict...
240
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,272
...have you anything
to add in your defence ?
241
00:36:06,679 --> 00:36:07,606
Yes, sir
242
00:36:21,633 --> 00:36:25,226
This may be the last time I address you
243
00:36:30,612 --> 00:36:32,097
My conscience is clear
244
00:36:35,778 --> 00:36:39,649
But what wounds my heart
more than everything else...
245
00:36:44,148 --> 00:36:47,307
... is to be accused of having shed
the blood of the people
246
00:36:52,314 --> 00:36:54,467
I have so loved the French people...
247
00:36:56,978 --> 00:37:00,309
... and thought I had given
such proof of that love...
248
00:37:04,550 --> 00:37:07,160
I never could have imagined...
249
00:37:08,123 --> 00:37:11,765
... I would have to face
such accusations
250
00:37:26,878 --> 00:37:28,755
That's all I have to say
251
00:37:46,072 --> 00:37:46,986
Carnot
252
00:37:48,366 --> 00:37:52,521
Following the principle that all men
are equal before the law...
253
00:37:53,788 --> 00:37:54,934
... I vote for death
254
00:37:55,681 --> 00:37:56,839
Collot d'Herbois
255
00:37:58,303 --> 00:37:59,692
Death, within 24 hours
256
00:38:01,512 --> 00:38:02,563
Vergniaud
257
00:38:06,501 --> 00:38:09,614
Death. But I move
that sentence be suspended
258
00:38:12,419 --> 00:38:13,253
Lindet
259
00:38:15,387 --> 00:38:18,692
He who hesitates to strike a tyrant
does not deserve the name of republican
260
00:38:20,105 --> 00:38:21,212
I vote for death
261
00:38:22,351 --> 00:38:23,109
Marat
262
00:38:25,207 --> 00:38:26,026
Death
263
00:38:26,811 --> 00:38:27,960
Saint-Just
264
00:38:30,365 --> 00:38:33,782
The Republic must not
show weakness. Death
265
00:38:35,193 --> 00:38:36,139
Brissot
266
00:38:37,199 --> 00:38:39,920
Death. With suspended sentence
267
00:38:46,658 --> 00:38:47,620
Robespierre
268
00:38:51,422 --> 00:38:57,229
I am pitiless toward oppressors,
because I pity the oppressed
269
00:39:00,573 --> 00:39:01,422
Death
270
00:39:03,060 --> 00:39:04,032
Desmoulins
271
00:39:06,557 --> 00:39:07,629
I vote for death
272
00:39:09,990 --> 00:39:10,840
Danton
273
00:39:14,865 --> 00:39:15,619
Death
274
00:39:29,107 --> 00:39:31,108
May God support me to the end
275
00:39:38,091 --> 00:39:39,063
I'm ready
276
00:41:04,670 --> 00:41:07,044
You can't see anything
with the shutters closed
277
00:41:07,541 --> 00:41:08,921
Leave them closed
278
00:41:10,237 --> 00:41:11,775
Leave the whole house closed
279
00:41:13,348 --> 00:41:16,383
Something is happening today
that you shouldn't see
280
00:42:09,302 --> 00:42:10,313
Citizen--
281
00:42:13,008 --> 00:42:14,629
Tell me what to do, sir
282
00:42:15,341 --> 00:42:18,662
Remove your coat and cravat
283
00:42:42,266 --> 00:42:43,694
That's not necessary
284
00:43:24,380 --> 00:43:28,217
I die innocent of all the crimes
of which I am accused
285
00:43:29,467 --> 00:43:32,211
I forgive those guilty of my death
286
00:43:33,157 --> 00:43:38,588
And I pray God that the blood you shed
may never be required of France
287
00:45:42,211 --> 00:45:43,527
Take care of these
288
00:45:48,925 --> 00:45:49,957
Antoine !
289
00:45:57,711 --> 00:45:59,764
- Georges--
- Where's Gabrielle ?
290
00:46:07,554 --> 00:46:09,456
Gabrielle died 3 days ago
291
00:46:13,137 --> 00:46:14,479
Be brave, Georges
292
00:46:15,100 --> 00:46:16,513
It was very sudden
293
00:46:18,389 --> 00:46:19,961
We don't know what happened
294
00:46:22,833 --> 00:46:24,100
We're here for you
295
00:47:22,887 --> 00:47:25,088
I'm sorry to bring up sad memories
296
00:47:26,064 --> 00:47:28,085
I know it's a difficult time for you
297
00:47:28,422 --> 00:47:29,515
I understand
298
00:47:31,133 --> 00:47:33,780
You wrote me a very nice letter
299
00:47:35,048 --> 00:47:36,461
It helped a lot
300
00:47:38,657 --> 00:47:42,170
I'm always better when
I have time to think before speaking
301
00:47:43,670 --> 00:47:45,050
As you've noticed
302
00:47:46,157 --> 00:47:51,195
You should speak more
from your heart, and think a little less
303
00:47:53,875 --> 00:47:57,147
The fact is, we're facing
food riots here...
304
00:47:57,901 --> 00:48:02,261
... rebellions in the west,
and the war is going badly
305
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:05,223
We thought we'd crushed the opposition
306
00:48:05,671 --> 00:48:08,287
But it's back, like an incurable illness
307
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:12,585
Men who accepted the Revolution,
or at least recognized...
308
00:48:12,705 --> 00:48:15,656
... that change was necessary
have now turned against it
309
00:48:17,004 --> 00:48:19,297
They want a respectable revolution
310
00:48:20,204 --> 00:48:21,567
A moderate government
311
00:48:23,075 --> 00:48:24,696
We have to face it, Georges
312
00:48:25,770 --> 00:48:27,920
The moderates are now our enemies
313
00:48:30,391 --> 00:48:34,414
So we face it.
The question is, how ?
314
00:48:36,612 --> 00:48:39,211
Exceptional times
require exceptional measures
315
00:48:39,949 --> 00:48:44,135
In a time of mortal danger, the ordinary
legal processes no longer fit
316
00:48:45,788 --> 00:48:49,429
No one respects the law
more than I, as you know
317
00:48:50,793 --> 00:48:54,457
But if the law can't do
what it was meant to do--
318
00:48:56,965 --> 00:48:58,409
Summary justice
319
00:49:00,030 --> 00:49:01,525
Is that what you want ?
320
00:49:04,247 --> 00:49:06,990
What I want is a new
Revolutionary Tribunal
321
00:49:09,621 --> 00:49:11,493
They already call us dictators
322
00:49:12,621 --> 00:49:14,581
This will give them reason to
323
00:49:15,944 --> 00:49:17,323
We have no choice
324
00:49:18,126 --> 00:49:20,532
At least until we have things in hand
325
00:49:21,398 --> 00:49:22,651
You know I'm right
326
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:25,084
You're always right
327
00:49:25,677 --> 00:49:30,858
You're the only one who can persuade
the members who are opposed
328
00:49:32,976 --> 00:49:34,979
We have to work together Georges
329
00:49:35,300 --> 00:49:36,469
We can do it
330
00:49:37,819 --> 00:49:41,332
See ? You speak with your heart
and you've convinced me
331
00:49:47,426 --> 00:49:49,159
No, Heaven help us !
332
00:49:50,138 --> 00:49:53,218
It'll be the Spanish Inquisition,
but a thousand times worse
333
00:49:53,715 --> 00:49:56,218
The September Massacres will start again
334
00:49:56,338 --> 00:49:58,707
But this time
it'll be with government sanction
335
00:49:59,298 --> 00:50:00,539
Not at all
336
00:50:02,539 --> 00:50:06,487
The September Massacres happened
because the people feared...
337
00:50:06,607 --> 00:50:09,432
... the Revolution was helpless
before its enemies
338
00:50:09,978 --> 00:50:14,298
And no control over the people
who chose to act like wild animals
339
00:50:15,448 --> 00:50:18,812
It was a mockery of
the noble ideals of our Revolution
340
00:50:18,932 --> 00:50:20,429
I agree with you
341
00:50:21,557 --> 00:50:26,065
But this will prove that the Revolution
can legally judge our enemies
342
00:50:27,356 --> 00:50:31,120
Including those who wish
to take the law into their own hands
343
00:50:36,107 --> 00:50:40,787
It's the only way to prevent random
slaughter instead of encouraging it
344
00:50:44,122 --> 00:50:45,375
I'm counting on you
345
00:50:46,946 --> 00:50:50,944
Strike back ! I demand 100,000 heads !
346
00:50:59,952 --> 00:51:04,811
Let 100,000 heads fall !
Paralyze our enemies with horror !
347
00:51:09,488 --> 00:51:13,446
I'll support your tribunal,
if your first act is to haul him up...
348
00:51:13,566 --> 00:51:15,834
... before he does any more damage
349
00:51:15,954 --> 00:51:16,815
Agreed
350
00:51:20,682 --> 00:51:22,480
Danton has had Marat arrested !
351
00:51:40,511 --> 00:51:43,720
Name, age, occupation, place of birth
352
00:52:02,954 --> 00:52:05,075
Marat was acquitted
353
00:52:06,195 --> 00:52:07,247
Of course
354
00:52:09,050 --> 00:52:10,857
Danton knew he would be
355
00:52:12,926 --> 00:52:17,098
No Revolutionary Tribunal
will convict a revolutionary
356
00:52:21,835 --> 00:52:24,129
But now we have the Tribunal
357
00:52:40,227 --> 00:52:41,178
Get out !
358
00:52:48,517 --> 00:52:50,282
Don't try to intimidate me !
359
00:52:51,421 --> 00:52:53,972
Brissot ! What are you
doing in my office ?
360
00:52:54,983 --> 00:52:59,015
If you think you can trick me
and the Girondins like that--
361
00:52:59,465 --> 00:53:00,796
You're wrong !
362
00:53:01,954 --> 00:53:04,111
Your friend Dumouriez
has defected to the Austrians
363
00:53:04,231 --> 00:53:06,621
You protected him - you're a traitor !
364
00:53:07,247 --> 00:53:09,397
And as everyone knows - a thief !
365
00:53:13,616 --> 00:53:14,594
Get out !
366
00:53:22,766 --> 00:53:24,643
Get rid of all this, Dominique
367
00:53:26,614 --> 00:53:29,101
They won't be so easy
to get rid of next time
368
00:53:38,021 --> 00:53:39,137
Look after him
369
00:53:41,037 --> 00:53:42,016
I'll be back
370
00:53:54,959 --> 00:53:58,230
Shall I continue the reading
we started yesterday ?
371
00:54:00,382 --> 00:54:01,505
I've forgotten it
372
00:54:02,531 --> 00:54:04,774
Alright, then I'll start over
373
00:54:06,761 --> 00:54:08,223
It's a waste of time
374
00:54:09,119 --> 00:54:10,753
I can't concentrate
375
00:54:13,098 --> 00:54:14,747
You must try, my dear
376
00:54:15,536 --> 00:54:17,691
Make an effort - for the children
377
00:54:19,671 --> 00:54:21,236
What do you want me to do ?
378
00:54:21,853 --> 00:54:23,775
Talk of hope ? Lie to them ?
379
00:54:24,821 --> 00:54:26,297
Yes. If you have to
380
00:54:38,579 --> 00:54:39,863
Leave him alone !
381
00:54:42,879 --> 00:54:45,693
The boy's education
will be handled by Citizen Simon
382
00:54:48,642 --> 00:54:51,247
The Council has decided ;
we are carrying out its orders
383
00:54:54,460 --> 00:54:56,610
We'll make a good Cordelier out of you !
384
00:55:08,097 --> 00:55:09,364
Excellent, Camille !
385
00:55:14,980 --> 00:55:16,890
You haven't lost your touch
386
00:55:17,868 --> 00:55:19,681
That'll take care of things
387
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:30,284
It's very good of you
388
00:55:51,739 --> 00:55:53,696
Slander ! And a lie !
389
00:55:54,033 --> 00:55:55,477
It's not a lie, nor slander
390
00:55:55,597 --> 00:55:57,985
The words are Camille's,
but I recognize the ideas
391
00:55:58,986 --> 00:56:03,850
Brissot and the Girondins want a federal
republic on Swiss or American lines
392
00:56:04,248 --> 00:56:06,164
They only believe in compromise
393
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:10,793
Our great French Republic
must be one and indivisible
394
00:56:12,114 --> 00:56:14,029
What do you want me to do ?
395
00:56:15,483 --> 00:56:16,386
Nothing
396
00:56:18,908 --> 00:56:20,529
Keep out of it, as I will
397
00:56:21,379 --> 00:56:23,788
And let the Paris Commune do its job
398
00:56:24,941 --> 00:56:26,962
You've already made us allies
399
00:56:28,183 --> 00:56:30,477
Now you're making us conspirators
400
00:56:32,723 --> 00:56:35,499
I warn you : I'm not like you
401
00:56:38,316 --> 00:56:39,531
And I never will be
402
00:56:41,926 --> 00:56:43,867
I know you've taken bribes
403
00:56:46,434 --> 00:56:47,685
How could I not ?
404
00:56:49,669 --> 00:56:52,284
I know your enemies'
accusations are true
405
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:56,144
But do you hear me condemn you for it ?
406
00:56:58,991 --> 00:57:00,291
What about you ?
407
00:57:00,579 --> 00:57:02,216
You've never taken anything ?
408
00:57:05,216 --> 00:57:06,162
Never ?
409
00:57:12,319 --> 00:57:13,537
You could have
410
00:57:20,019 --> 00:57:20,831
Often
411
00:57:32,500 --> 00:57:35,228
How can I trust a man
who doesn't want anything ?
412
00:57:35,966 --> 00:57:38,212
You can trust me to tell the truth
413
00:57:39,655 --> 00:57:41,272
At least, as I see it
414
00:57:43,412 --> 00:57:47,560
And right now, the people of Paris -
your people...
415
00:57:48,610 --> 00:57:52,070
... not Brissot and the moderates -
are your best friends
416
00:57:53,555 --> 00:57:56,892
That's why it's best for you
not to get in their way
417
00:57:58,721 --> 00:57:59,729
Or yours ?
418
00:58:01,336 --> 00:58:03,611
You just said I don't want anything
419
00:58:04,959 --> 00:58:08,452
Not for yourself.
But that makes you more dangerous
420
00:58:09,788 --> 00:58:12,052
You want what's right for all of us
421
00:58:28,707 --> 00:58:30,424
I want Brissot's head
422
00:58:33,769 --> 00:58:35,482
Then I'll go along with you
423
00:59:16,433 --> 00:59:17,564
Let us in !
424
00:59:19,978 --> 00:59:21,470
Death to the traitors !
425
00:59:21,590 --> 00:59:24,988
I'm H�rault de Seychelles,
President of the Convention
426
00:59:25,465 --> 00:59:27,795
By what authority
do you bring your troops here ?
427
00:59:27,915 --> 00:59:30,333
On the orders of the Paris Commune
428
00:59:30,453 --> 00:59:32,737
The Convention orders you to withdraw
429
00:59:33,213 --> 00:59:37,898
Not until we've arrested the 22 traitors
protected by this Convention
430
00:59:39,740 --> 00:59:41,504
We want the traitors !
431
00:59:44,536 --> 00:59:46,215
These men were elected--
432
00:59:47,753 --> 00:59:49,790
To your places ! Forward !
433
01:00:18,028 --> 01:00:19,006
Silence !
434
01:00:33,256 --> 01:00:38,020
I hope our colleagues
will be reassured about their liberty
435
01:00:39,811 --> 01:00:41,938
They went out to meet the people...
436
01:00:42,498 --> 01:00:45,466
... and they saw that the people
mean them no harm
437
01:00:46,076 --> 01:00:47,664
Where does this mean ?
438
01:00:47,784 --> 01:00:52,593
The Paris Commune has denounced
22 traitors who sit among us
439
01:00:53,517 --> 01:00:55,745
I demand their immediate arrest
440
01:00:58,963 --> 01:01:01,625
Give Couthon a cup of blood -
he's thirsty !
441
01:01:04,578 --> 01:01:08,372
I see here Chaumette and H�bert,
representing the Paris Commune
442
01:01:10,043 --> 01:01:15,915
The Convention should treat them
with respect and attention
443
01:01:18,730 --> 01:01:22,234
I ask them to give us the names
of those they've denounced
444
01:01:23,415 --> 01:01:25,163
You wouldn't dare !
445
01:01:29,741 --> 01:01:32,481
I demand this list be read at once
446
01:01:34,441 --> 01:01:38,644
And the arrest of all those named
447
01:01:45,618 --> 01:01:47,094
What are you waiting for ?
448
01:01:49,916 --> 01:01:51,039
The names !
449
01:02:59,314 --> 01:03:00,875
Listen, citizens !
450
01:03:01,303 --> 01:03:04,417
The Convention is dominated
by madmen and criminals
451
01:03:05,057 --> 01:03:09,342
Harsh words, but what else
can you call someone like Marat ?
452
01:03:09,599 --> 01:03:12,995
He'd cut off 100,000 heads
as easily as say Good morning
453
01:03:13,425 --> 01:03:17,174
These men threaten to turn
the country into a huge charnel house
454
01:03:19,634 --> 01:03:25,317
The great majority of honest people
must rise up and take back power...
455
01:03:25,719 --> 01:03:28,005
... before it's too late
456
01:03:55,587 --> 01:03:56,845
Go see who it is
457
01:04:03,995 --> 01:04:05,057
What do you want ?
458
01:04:05,177 --> 01:04:07,330
I'm Citizeness Corday.
I want to see Marat
459
01:04:07,450 --> 01:04:09,716
Impossible.
He's sick - he can't see anyone
460
01:04:10,284 --> 01:04:13,802
I've come from Caen.
I have information about a Girondin plot
461
01:04:13,922 --> 01:04:16,535
- I must see him
- I told you, he's sick
462
01:04:17,181 --> 01:04:18,638
Who is it, Simonne ?
463
01:04:19,547 --> 01:04:21,508
It's a woman from Caen
464
01:04:23,458 --> 01:04:26,579
She says she has news
about the Girondins
465
01:04:27,514 --> 01:04:28,471
Send her in
466
01:04:30,329 --> 01:04:33,545
He's very weak. Only 5 minutes, alright ?
467
01:04:47,141 --> 01:04:48,498
You've come from Caen ?
468
01:04:49,138 --> 01:04:51,434
Yes. I have much to tell you
469
01:04:52,622 --> 01:04:55,645
I know - Caen is a nest of traitors
470
01:04:56,815 --> 01:04:59,012
How many federalist deputies
have taken refuge there ?
471
01:04:59,734 --> 01:05:00,622
Eighteen
472
01:05:03,045 --> 01:05:04,459
Here are their names
473
01:05:10,714 --> 01:05:12,145
They'll soon be dead
474
01:05:35,234 --> 01:05:39,634
In this stone urn
is the heart of the great Marat
475
01:05:41,265 --> 01:05:43,772
It will remain here always in his memory
476
01:05:45,147 --> 01:05:47,002
It is the heart of a great man
477
01:05:48,691 --> 01:05:51,758
A heart that filled all traitors
with fear
478
01:05:54,137 --> 01:05:57,968
And it was a traitor's hand
that tore him from the people's love
479
01:06:00,287 --> 01:06:03,679
But I promise you,
his people, his friends...
480
01:06:04,649 --> 01:06:07,384
... that the cause
he fought for will survive
481
01:06:09,046 --> 01:06:12,769
I've personally requested
the Convention build granaries...
482
01:06:13,569 --> 01:06:18,638
... to protect grain from speculators
and all those who'd starve the people...
483
01:06:18,758 --> 01:06:20,408
... for their own profit
484
01:06:26,721 --> 01:06:29,179
Congratulations, Maxime,
I've very happy for you
485
01:06:29,491 --> 01:06:32,006
- Thank you
- Congratulations, Robespierre
486
01:06:37,109 --> 01:06:38,667
You're taking it very calmly
487
01:06:39,117 --> 01:06:42,225
Frankly, I'm as happy to leave
the Committee for Public Safety...
488
01:06:42,532 --> 01:06:44,145
... as it is to be rid of me
489
01:06:44,842 --> 01:06:47,822
Robespierre is better
at handling boredom than I am
490
01:06:48,050 --> 01:06:49,054
What now ?
491
01:06:50,450 --> 01:06:51,708
I'll go fishing
492
01:06:52,873 --> 01:06:54,869
I should have done it long ago
493
01:06:55,696 --> 01:06:57,183
Do you think you'll come back ?
494
01:06:57,853 --> 01:06:59,573
Not unless I have to
495
01:07:03,161 --> 01:07:04,249
Come and see me
496
01:07:11,925 --> 01:07:12,673
Good
497
01:07:26,798 --> 01:07:28,398
October 15, 1793
498
01:07:29,306 --> 01:07:30,367
Go on !
499
01:07:58,855 --> 01:08:02,351
Who provided the coach you
and your family rode in to Varennes ?
500
01:08:03,967 --> 01:08:05,028
A foreigner
501
01:08:05,444 --> 01:08:06,805
What nationality ?
502
01:08:08,743 --> 01:08:09,722
Swedish
503
01:08:10,623 --> 01:08:13,429
Monsieur Fersen,
who lived at rue du Bac, Paris ?
504
01:08:16,104 --> 01:08:17,465
- Yes
- What ?
505
01:08:19,616 --> 01:08:20,346
Yes
506
01:08:23,758 --> 01:08:25,500
Bring in the witness H�bert
507
01:08:37,389 --> 01:08:39,377
Name, age, occupation
508
01:08:40,736 --> 01:08:42,733
H�bert, Jacques Ren�; 36
509
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:47,140
Journalist and deputy attorney
for the Paris Commune
510
01:08:47,833 --> 01:08:50,659
Testify before the nation
without hatred or fear
511
01:08:51,341 --> 01:08:53,926
Do you swear to tell the truth
and nothing but the truth ?
512
01:08:54,180 --> 01:08:54,918
I do
513
01:08:55,633 --> 01:08:56,787
Give your testimony
514
01:08:59,868 --> 01:09:03,089
The facts I have to state
are of a delicate nature
515
01:09:04,082 --> 01:09:05,835
But they must be made public
516
01:09:09,539 --> 01:09:14,135
The Commune wished the young Capet
to receive a proper republican education
517
01:09:15,462 --> 01:09:18,947
He was entrusted to
an excellent Cordelier, Citizen Simon
518
01:09:22,099 --> 01:09:27,068
We have a deposition from Simon,
that he caught the child...
519
01:09:27,188 --> 01:09:30,338
... engaged in indecent and harmful acts
520
01:09:36,444 --> 01:09:41,083
He asked the boy who had taught him
this shameful behavior
521
01:09:42,617 --> 01:09:45,109
The child said his mother and aunt
522
01:09:49,963 --> 01:09:51,059
Continue
523
01:09:51,902 --> 01:09:56,761
Before the Mayor and Paris and Attorney
to the Commune the child testified...
524
01:09:57,719 --> 01:10:01,069
... that he was made to sleep
with these two women
525
01:10:05,831 --> 01:10:11,254
And in their bed they committed
acts of debauchery
526
01:10:16,194 --> 01:10:18,096
Accused, how do you respond ?
527
01:10:20,717 --> 01:10:22,471
I will not respond
528
01:10:28,712 --> 01:10:30,258
I will not respond !
529
01:10:31,043 --> 01:10:35,104
Because Nature itself
recoils from such an accusation !
530
01:10:39,875 --> 01:10:42,413
I appeal to all the mothers here
531
01:10:45,044 --> 01:10:46,349
I appeal to you
532
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:26,609
Antoinette, have you any reason why
sentence should not be passed on you ?
533
01:11:31,768 --> 01:11:37,630
The Tribunal unanimously
condemns Marie Antoinette...
534
01:11:38,472 --> 01:11:42,168
... widow of Louis Capet to death
535
01:11:43,818 --> 01:11:49,091
According to the law, her possessions
are forfeited to the State
536
01:11:52,691 --> 01:11:56,995
This sentence to be carried out
at the Place de la R�volution
537
01:11:58,506 --> 01:12:02,766
And that it be printed and posted
in all parts of the Republic
538
01:12:06,693 --> 01:12:09,474
Thank you, Rosalie.
Thank you for everything
539
01:12:30,114 --> 01:12:31,522
It's time, Citizeness
540
01:14:07,591 --> 01:14:08,827
Forgive me, sir
541
01:14:09,956 --> 01:14:11,000
Courage, Madame
542
01:14:53,179 --> 01:14:55,706
Perhaps I'm afraid of not understanding
543
01:14:56,779 --> 01:14:59,433
It's this fear that disturbs my sleep
544
01:15:01,152 --> 01:15:03,521
I appeal to the noblest instincts
of the people...
545
01:15:04,337 --> 01:15:05,625
... and I'm betrayed
546
01:15:06,829 --> 01:15:09,024
Because I don't understand the people
547
01:15:09,829 --> 01:15:12,833
No one inspires greater respect than you
548
01:15:14,008 --> 01:15:17,281
But they still resist the Revolution
549
01:15:18,728 --> 01:15:19,855
By the thousands
550
01:15:21,416 --> 01:15:23,643
There's a royalist army in the Vend�e
551
01:15:24,933 --> 01:15:28,025
More than an army - an entire populace
552
01:15:30,552 --> 01:15:33,001
Is it possible
for a people to be traitors ?
553
01:15:34,907 --> 01:15:36,314
They don't understand
554
01:15:37,525 --> 01:15:39,660
There is much they need to be taught
555
01:15:41,365 --> 01:15:43,535
And yet I've learned something
556
01:15:46,349 --> 01:15:48,618
If Virtue is to triumph...
557
01:15:48,924 --> 01:15:50,840
... it must be accompanied by Terror
558
01:15:53,920 --> 01:15:55,593
Since Virtue is flawless...
559
01:15:57,543 --> 01:15:59,574
... the flaw must be in man
560
01:16:03,335 --> 01:16:04,905
But I can't believe it
561
01:16:09,416 --> 01:16:10,465
Yet I must
562
01:16:12,138 --> 01:16:13,754
To save the Revolution
563
01:16:49,464 --> 01:16:50,975
This law is clear
564
01:16:53,260 --> 01:16:54,589
We know our enemies :
565
01:16:57,215 --> 01:17:01,461
Those among us who still hope
that we lose this war
566
01:17:03,965 --> 01:17:09,400
But they will no longer laugh at us,
saying that we can't prove their treason
567
01:17:12,377 --> 01:17:16,527
It's simple : let's force them
to prove their innocence
568
01:17:18,596 --> 01:17:23,266
All those who can't bring tangible proof
of their work for the Revolution...
569
01:17:24,234 --> 01:17:26,648
... will be automatically
liable to arrest
570
01:17:31,908 --> 01:17:35,462
We propose to enlarge the role
of the Revolutionary Tribunal
571
01:17:36,327 --> 01:17:38,878
Right now, only one session
sits regularly
572
01:17:39,269 --> 01:17:41,150
We propose to add 3 more...
573
01:17:41,923 --> 01:17:46,284
... to help carry out
this important patriotic work
574
01:17:53,006 --> 01:17:55,949
In sum : Terror is the order of the day
575
01:17:57,149 --> 01:17:59,029
And Virtue, Citizen
576
01:18:01,039 --> 01:18:04,708
Virtue, without which Terror is deadly
577
01:18:07,050 --> 01:18:12,070
Terror, without which Virtue is powerless
578
01:19:46,449 --> 01:19:48,844
Married by a dissident priest !
579
01:19:51,048 --> 01:19:54,412
You want to get me
guillotined ! Little minx !
580
01:19:59,298 --> 01:20:02,248
As far as I'm concerned,
the Revolution is over
581
01:20:03,809 --> 01:20:06,302
My life is here,
with you and my children
582
01:20:06,982 --> 01:20:08,309
And you'll give me more
583
01:20:11,888 --> 01:20:14,980
Leave politics to the fools
who are good at it
584
01:20:31,369 --> 01:20:34,150
Camille Desmoulins :
I'm a friend of Citizen Robespierre
585
01:20:46,917 --> 01:20:49,435
No one has been convicted
without good reason
586
01:20:50,863 --> 01:20:55,014
People are in jail because they
once said Hello to a dissident priest
587
01:20:56,641 --> 01:21:00,102
They said something nice about Mirabeau,
or have family abroad
588
01:21:02,028 --> 01:21:04,002
You can be so naive, Camille
589
01:21:05,582 --> 01:21:07,626
Need I remind you
that we're still at war ?
590
01:21:09,332 --> 01:21:12,187
Our army has exterminated
thousands in the Vend�e
591
01:21:12,307 --> 01:21:13,572
An entire people !
592
01:21:14,236 --> 01:21:15,880
Traitors and rebels
593
01:21:17,478 --> 01:21:20,016
We're strangling Liberty in its cradle
594
01:21:21,413 --> 01:21:22,924
If we falter now...
595
01:21:24,459 --> 01:21:27,943
... all that we've built
will crumble like a house of cards
596
01:21:28,728 --> 01:21:30,389
Maybe we've built nothing
597
01:21:34,408 --> 01:21:35,500
Just a dream
598
01:21:37,800 --> 01:21:38,885
It frightens me
599
01:22:14,014 --> 01:22:15,600
No one can talk to him
600
01:22:16,218 --> 01:22:20,221
He's cut himself off from everyone
except his friends on the Committee
601
01:22:22,666 --> 01:22:24,334
He sees enemies everywhere
602
01:22:26,035 --> 01:22:28,452
The situation is insane
and getting worse
603
01:22:35,533 --> 01:22:36,975
I'll miss all this
604
01:22:52,719 --> 01:22:54,125
Taking it for a stroll ?
605
01:22:54,831 --> 01:22:56,017
It never stops
606
01:22:56,137 --> 01:22:59,388
Around the Place de la R�volution
they complain about the smell of blood
607
01:22:59,810 --> 01:23:01,530
The Bastille, same thing
608
01:23:03,306 --> 01:23:05,872
People say it bring down property values
609
01:23:06,906 --> 01:23:09,306
They've moved it 4 times ;
always the same problem
610
01:23:09,426 --> 01:23:11,237
It'll end up back where it started
611
01:23:18,818 --> 01:23:20,776
I'll want your report tomorrow
612
01:23:20,896 --> 01:23:21,991
Yes, Citizen
613
01:23:28,156 --> 01:23:29,365
Danton is back
614
01:23:30,545 --> 01:23:31,866
With Desmoulins
615
01:23:44,771 --> 01:23:46,900
I hardly recognize this place
616
01:23:49,306 --> 01:23:54,244
It's become a den of faction,
lies and insanity
617
01:23:55,687 --> 01:23:59,115
Outside, I see churches desecrated
618
01:23:59,530 --> 01:24:02,045
Prisons full of poor devils...
619
01:24:03,176 --> 01:24:07,099
... whose only crime
is not being fanatics
620
01:24:09,753 --> 01:24:12,603
Is this the Republic
we wanted to create ?
621
01:24:14,530 --> 01:24:17,380
I propose as an emergency measure...
622
01:24:18,868 --> 01:24:22,042
... that the Convention create
a Committee of Clemency
623
01:24:23,230 --> 01:24:27,221
To examine the lists
of all these suspects being held...
624
01:24:28,640 --> 01:24:33,297
... and determine if there is just cause
for keeping them in prison
625
01:24:59,852 --> 01:25:03,971
"When the Republic is fighting for its
life what does Danton propose ?
626
01:25:06,708 --> 01:25:08,790
"Nothing more than
to give way to corruption
627
01:25:09,108 --> 01:25:10,977
"Corruption which has
already made him rich"
628
01:25:11,312 --> 01:25:13,735
- You can't print that !
- Why not ?
629
01:25:14,738 --> 01:25:18,177
If Danton thinks he can just come back
and take over, he's wrong
630
01:25:18,627 --> 01:25:20,657
We'll use every weapon against him
631
01:25:23,046 --> 01:25:24,400
Including the truth
632
01:25:40,927 --> 01:25:42,980
Little Horace has grown !
633
01:25:44,492 --> 01:25:46,631
Louise is adorable - congratulations
634
01:25:46,928 --> 01:25:48,614
I'm happy that you like her
635
01:25:54,949 --> 01:25:56,091
Did you see this ?
636
01:25:58,159 --> 01:25:58,807
No
637
01:26:01,678 --> 01:26:06,132
"This refuse, this waste product
of the human intestines--
638
01:26:08,686 --> 01:26:12,387
"This excrement,
this infected heap of lying filth--"
639
01:26:14,006 --> 01:26:17,549
Only H�bert would take
an entire page to cover me with shit
640
01:26:21,776 --> 01:26:23,530
But we'll give him an answer
641
01:26:24,315 --> 01:26:25,665
To work, Camille
642
01:26:29,911 --> 01:26:31,579
Don't underestimate him
643
01:26:32,899 --> 01:26:35,189
Even Robespierre is careful with H�bert
644
01:26:36,603 --> 01:26:37,445
Yes...
645
01:26:58,702 --> 01:27:02,140
Neither H�bert nor Danton will stop
until one of them is eliminated
646
01:27:04,310 --> 01:27:06,114
Which one should we support ?
647
01:27:13,757 --> 01:27:15,868
I accuse Danton of being a thief
648
01:27:19,207 --> 01:27:21,339
A thief and a profiteer !
649
01:27:22,137 --> 01:27:24,491
And of having betrayed the Revolution !
650
01:27:24,811 --> 01:27:25,989
Where's your proof ?
651
01:27:26,411 --> 01:27:28,395
Why prove what we all know ?
652
01:27:33,334 --> 01:27:35,526
I propose a 12-man committee...
653
01:27:36,565 --> 01:27:39,738
... to examine
the accusations against me
654
01:27:41,849 --> 01:27:44,532
Trust a thief to hide behind the law !
655
01:27:46,078 --> 01:27:47,036
Traitor !
656
01:28:02,240 --> 01:28:03,978
May I have the floor ?
657
01:28:07,696 --> 01:28:09,288
We're listening, Citizen
658
01:28:11,342 --> 01:28:16,465
A committee to examine the career
and integrity of Citizen Danton
659
01:28:18,634 --> 01:28:20,069
It's an interesting idea
660
01:28:22,453 --> 01:28:24,472
I'm personally in favor it it
661
01:28:26,653 --> 01:28:31,030
It's said that England and Austria
are not the true enemies of the Republic
662
01:28:33,776 --> 01:28:37,376
It's said that our worst enemy is Danton
663
01:28:41,516 --> 01:28:46,397
It's said that Danton wishes
to destroy the Republic...
664
01:28:47,539 --> 01:28:51,086
... and re-establish the monarchy
with himself as the ruler
665
01:28:54,063 --> 01:28:55,955
A terrible crime, if true
666
01:28:57,063 --> 01:28:58,828
And Danton stands accused
667
01:28:59,700 --> 01:29:02,084
But if you accuse Danton, Citizens...
668
01:29:03,427 --> 01:29:07,269
Danton, who has served this Republic
better than any of us...
669
01:29:09,521 --> 01:29:11,911
... then you must accuse me too
670
01:29:17,344 --> 01:29:21,852
And I say that these accusations
are as false and fraudulent...
671
01:29:22,602 --> 01:29:25,394
...as the liars and hypocrites
who make them !
672
01:29:30,499 --> 01:29:33,776
And I, Robespierre,
denounce and condemn them
673
01:30:02,491 --> 01:30:03,830
It's good to see you again
674
01:30:07,672 --> 01:30:08,807
We've missed you
675
01:30:10,011 --> 01:30:11,384
Not everyone, it seems
676
01:30:12,238 --> 01:30:13,720
Thanks for what you said
677
01:30:14,753 --> 01:30:17,391
We're all endangered
by lunatics like H�bert
678
01:30:17,961 --> 01:30:21,803
We won't stand by
while the inmates take over the asylum
679
01:30:22,611 --> 01:30:25,160
We should meet - we have to talk
680
01:30:28,018 --> 01:30:31,745
I hear you've remarried.
I'm very happy for you
681
01:30:34,422 --> 01:30:35,923
I'll introduce you to her
682
01:30:36,891 --> 01:30:40,879
I hope so. Give my love
to Lucie and little Horace
683
01:30:43,579 --> 01:30:44,791
Thank you, Maxime
684
01:30:51,454 --> 01:30:53,286
He's finally come to his senses
685
01:30:55,216 --> 01:30:58,020
I was afraid it was too late,
but if you can work together--
686
01:30:59,113 --> 01:31:00,406
Everything will be fine
687
01:31:15,959 --> 01:31:17,159
People of Paris !
688
01:31:17,528 --> 01:31:20,021
You are starving
and you are being lied to
689
01:31:20,448 --> 01:31:23,640
They call me a fanatic because
I call for death for profiteers...
690
01:31:23,760 --> 01:31:25,346
... and enemies of the Revolution
691
01:31:26,180 --> 01:31:29,364
But how can one be moderate
in pursuit of Liberty ?
692
01:31:31,187 --> 01:31:32,480
People of Paris !
693
01:31:34,556 --> 01:31:39,638
We have one weapon which Robespierre
and Danton's friends can't rob us of
694
01:31:40,625 --> 01:31:41,791
Insurrection !
695
01:32:01,266 --> 01:32:04,359
Why did you side with Danton
against H�bert at the Jacobin Club ?
696
01:32:05,801 --> 01:32:07,827
Why did you defend
Danton against H�bert ?
697
01:32:07,947 --> 01:32:09,509
One's as bad as the other
698
01:32:09,943 --> 01:32:11,068
Couthon's right
699
01:32:11,386 --> 01:32:12,734
We have to arrest them both
700
01:32:12,854 --> 01:32:15,093
If we do that, we risk uniting them
701
01:32:16,100 --> 01:32:19,216
Then the Committee will lose
its majority in the Convention
702
01:32:21,500 --> 01:32:25,562
We need Danton
as an ally to deal with H�bert
703
01:32:27,823 --> 01:32:28,879
Afterwards--
704
01:32:30,546 --> 01:32:33,708
Let's vote on the arrest
of H�bert. All in favor ?
705
01:32:53,651 --> 01:32:55,451
- What is it ?
- Ren� H�bert ?
706
01:32:56,397 --> 01:32:57,839
You're under arrest
707
01:33:00,126 --> 01:33:01,206
Whose order ?
708
01:33:01,326 --> 01:33:03,589
Citizen Fouquier-Tinville,
Public Prosecutor
709
01:33:05,238 --> 01:33:06,415
On what charge ?
710
01:33:07,142 --> 01:33:09,334
Conspiracy to restore the monarchy
711
01:33:11,963 --> 01:33:13,083
The monarchy ?
712
01:33:32,419 --> 01:33:33,579
What's wrong ?
713
01:33:34,854 --> 01:33:36,158
H�bert's arrest
714
01:33:36,896 --> 01:33:38,766
H�bert represented a threat
715
01:33:44,131 --> 01:33:47,759
Maxime only did what I've been
begging him to do for months
716
01:33:50,451 --> 01:33:52,067
But calling him a monarchist ?
717
01:33:55,921 --> 01:33:58,502
If the truth
can be twisted as easily as that...
718
01:33:59,232 --> 01:34:00,744
... then no one is safe
719
01:34:01,863 --> 01:34:03,409
Neither you nor Georges
720
01:34:04,586 --> 01:34:07,808
We must judge Maxime
by his deeds, not his words
721
01:34:09,097 --> 01:34:11,659
He needs Georges as an ally,
not an enemy
722
01:34:23,911 --> 01:34:25,272
I have work to do
723
01:34:26,715 --> 01:34:27,739
Don't worry
724
01:34:29,030 --> 01:34:30,740
Everything will be fine
725
01:34:57,128 --> 01:34:58,640
Desmoulins is running wild
726
01:34:59,805 --> 01:35:03,451
His calls for clemency
are an attack on the Committee itself
727
01:35:03,991 --> 01:35:05,456
We can't let it pass
728
01:35:06,275 --> 01:35:07,695
It's Danton's voice
729
01:35:09,137 --> 01:35:11,468
Camille is too easily led
730
01:35:13,499 --> 01:35:16,352
Those who oppose Terror
have no desire for Virtue
731
01:35:16,472 --> 01:35:18,300
It's a crime against the Republic
732
01:35:19,812 --> 01:35:21,450
Camille must be saved
733
01:35:22,938 --> 01:35:25,346
He must be made to see that he's wrong
734
01:36:15,485 --> 01:36:17,078
A word of warning, Citizen
735
01:36:17,850 --> 01:36:20,666
If you didn't have powerful friends,
you'd be dead by now
736
01:36:59,425 --> 01:37:01,190
My God ! What happened ?
737
01:37:06,863 --> 01:37:08,105
Why did they do it ?
738
01:37:09,055 --> 01:37:10,359
I don't understand
739
01:37:13,094 --> 01:37:14,801
He's my oldest friend
740
01:37:16,011 --> 01:37:17,704
He was kind enough to warn me
741
01:37:22,715 --> 01:37:24,480
I told you not to trust Maxime
742
01:37:30,716 --> 01:37:31,818
It's so cowardly
743
01:37:32,712 --> 01:37:33,959
You're right, Lucie
744
01:37:34,859 --> 01:37:37,755
None of us should take
Robespierre for granted
745
01:37:38,863 --> 01:37:40,843
You must be very careful, Camille
746
01:38:45,507 --> 01:38:48,871
"True love for the country cannot exist
where there is neither love...
747
01:38:48,991 --> 01:38:51,429
"... nor pity for one's fellow countrymen
748
01:38:54,764 --> 01:38:58,560
"Only a soul dried up
and withered by self-adulation"
749
01:39:05,298 --> 01:39:08,398
How could he ?
Someone I've tried so hard to protect
750
01:39:08,518 --> 01:39:11,549
It's a challenge to you.
Everyone knows it
751
01:39:16,693 --> 01:39:18,631
It's not a question of my own pride
752
01:39:19,912 --> 01:39:23,062
It's not just an attack on you,
but also the Committee
753
01:39:25,450 --> 01:39:27,715
Against everything we've worked for
754
01:39:31,070 --> 01:39:31,831
I know
755
01:39:34,439 --> 01:39:35,532
I understand
756
01:40:14,614 --> 01:40:15,664
Just upstairs
757
01:40:25,614 --> 01:40:28,026
My friends, we have an unexpected guest
758
01:40:28,146 --> 01:40:29,168
Good evening
759
01:40:33,315 --> 01:40:34,907
A pleasure, as always
760
01:40:48,164 --> 01:40:50,241
May I give you a lift, Citizen ?
761
01:40:51,994 --> 01:40:53,200
I prefer to walk
762
01:40:54,268 --> 01:40:55,493
Excellent idea
763
01:40:56,846 --> 01:40:58,496
You're right, as always
764
01:41:16,721 --> 01:41:19,444
You'll be glad to know
Camille is recovering
765
01:41:20,598 --> 01:41:22,502
- Recovering ?
- Yes, from the beating
766
01:41:23,903 --> 01:41:24,907
Beating ?
767
01:41:25,149 --> 01:41:28,588
A warning against opposing your
policies too vigorously
768
01:41:30,215 --> 01:41:33,111
- You accuse me of--
- Of warning him
769
01:41:34,231 --> 01:41:35,327
As a friend
770
01:41:36,815 --> 01:41:39,342
- I know nothing about it
- My mistake
771
01:41:40,946 --> 01:41:42,641
I think we should say goodnight
772
01:41:43,215 --> 01:41:45,050
What happened between us ?
773
01:41:45,384 --> 01:41:47,230
We wanted the same things
774
01:41:48,246 --> 01:41:50,389
We never wanted the same things
775
01:41:51,176 --> 01:41:53,017
Liberty, justice, equality ?
776
01:41:53,137 --> 01:41:53,968
Words !
777
01:41:55,375 --> 01:41:59,564
You've never understood that unless we're
guided by the virtue of the people--
778
01:41:59,783 --> 01:42:01,496
The virtue of the people ?
779
01:42:03,014 --> 01:42:04,539
Bloodless abstractions !
780
01:42:04,881 --> 01:42:07,650
You think that everyone
is as corrupt as yourself
781
01:42:08,239 --> 01:42:13,463
Your idea of virtue is absolute
obedience to Maximilien Robespierre
782
01:42:15,109 --> 01:42:16,618
This is pointless
783
01:42:17,474 --> 01:42:18,617
Goodnight
784
01:42:18,986 --> 01:42:23,564
Let me tell you what you're doing
to this country with your bloody virtue
785
01:42:24,686 --> 01:42:28,223
It's what I do to my wife at night,
only she loves it
786
01:42:28,343 --> 01:42:31,979
And doesn't have to be held down
screaming with threats of the guillotine
787
01:42:35,351 --> 01:42:39,577
Your reputation as a coarse,
vulgar brute is well deserved
788
01:42:40,291 --> 01:42:41,452
What about yours ?
789
01:42:42,237 --> 01:42:45,814
You have no balls, Robespierre.
You're a eunuch
790
01:42:48,019 --> 01:42:49,207
Out of my way
791
01:43:16,626 --> 01:43:18,067
Well, how did it go ?
792
01:43:18,187 --> 01:43:20,370
I could have been more diplomatic
793
01:43:21,507 --> 01:43:24,715
It's intolerable that
the Committee fears this man !
794
01:43:25,718 --> 01:43:27,680
Danton has a lot of supporters
795
01:43:29,180 --> 01:43:30,438
You know it, Citizen
796
01:43:33,275 --> 01:43:36,240
Danton thinks
he's too strong to be attacked
797
01:43:39,067 --> 01:43:41,733
If we're clumsy, he'll be right
798
01:43:44,758 --> 01:43:48,542
Surprise is our best -
maybe our only - weapon
799
01:43:58,222 --> 01:44:02,544
I think we all agree
that Danton's arrest...
800
01:44:02,664 --> 01:44:05,445
...involves Camille Desmoulins' as well
801
01:44:07,730 --> 01:44:08,954
It's inevitable
802
01:44:12,416 --> 01:44:14,123
We agree on this point ?
803
01:44:19,639 --> 01:44:21,429
I accept the will of the Committee
804
01:44:56,148 --> 01:44:58,967
You're giving them
your head on a silver platter !
805
01:44:59,436 --> 01:45:00,401
You can't !
806
01:45:00,521 --> 01:45:04,018
My head is more solidly
attached than you suppose
807
01:45:07,029 --> 01:45:10,191
- For your wife's sake--
- No, don't
808
01:45:13,317 --> 01:45:15,956
All I care about
is that Danton stays alive
809
01:45:16,237 --> 01:45:17,549
And able to keep fighting
810
01:45:18,396 --> 01:45:20,992
There have been
too many battles already
811
01:45:24,580 --> 01:45:25,942
And useless deaths
812
01:45:28,336 --> 01:45:29,996
I don't want to add any more
813
01:45:32,733 --> 01:45:34,096
What are you going to do ?
814
01:45:39,972 --> 01:45:42,995
If they arrest me, they have to try me
815
01:45:44,440 --> 01:45:47,821
If there's a trial, I promise you this :
816
01:45:49,632 --> 01:45:52,748
They'll be the losers and I'll prove it
817
01:45:54,374 --> 01:45:55,990
From the defendant's bench
818
01:46:00,921 --> 01:46:03,517
After that,
I'll go back to the country...
819
01:46:04,302 --> 01:46:05,750
... and I'll go fishing
820
01:46:07,861 --> 01:46:10,769
Who'd choose
to waste his life in politics...
821
01:46:12,858 --> 01:46:15,646
...when he could spend it
fishing all day ?
822
01:46:19,161 --> 01:46:20,822
What fools we can be !
823
01:46:29,091 --> 01:46:30,810
Take your hands off her !
824
01:46:50,595 --> 01:46:53,802
First group goes with me. The others,
station yourselves around the house
825
01:47:00,644 --> 01:47:01,741
Wait outside
826
01:47:05,364 --> 01:47:06,620
I'll be back soon
827
01:47:07,060 --> 01:47:09,073
I'm the happiest man in France
828
01:47:19,763 --> 01:47:21,934
What are you waiting for ? Come on !
829
01:47:30,503 --> 01:47:31,507
Step aside
830
01:47:35,672 --> 01:47:37,712
Please, Maxime, listen to me !
831
01:47:40,228 --> 01:47:43,378
How could you do this to Camille ?
Your oldest friend ?
832
01:47:44,289 --> 01:47:46,762
How can you forget
what you've meant to each other ?
833
01:47:47,501 --> 01:47:48,759
Please, Maxime !
834
01:47:53,166 --> 01:47:56,548
You're godfather to our child !
Listen to me !
835
01:48:12,743 --> 01:48:15,085
Silence, or I'll clear the courtroom !
836
01:48:17,404 --> 01:48:19,839
You might have
a little trouble with that
837
01:48:24,209 --> 01:48:27,229
I remind the accused
of the respect due this court !
838
01:48:29,034 --> 01:48:33,079
And I remind the Citizen President
of the respect due to Justice !
839
01:48:36,788 --> 01:48:40,774
None of the accused was properly
informed of the charges against him
840
01:48:49,207 --> 01:48:54,460
From this bench I will confront
my accusers, before the people
841
01:48:56,606 --> 01:48:58,198
And when I've finished...
842
01:48:59,248 --> 01:49:04,013
... I'll be happy to plead for clemency
before you pass sentence on them
843
01:49:07,957 --> 01:49:09,076
But for now...
844
01:49:11,811 --> 01:49:13,311
... I demand to be heard
845
01:49:21,415 --> 01:49:26,550
You are accused of taking money from
fanatical conspirators against Liberty
846
01:49:32,861 --> 01:49:34,555
I have never been bought
847
01:49:37,130 --> 01:49:38,393
I have no price
848
01:49:38,919 --> 01:49:40,644
No one can afford Danton
849
01:49:44,729 --> 01:49:49,656
I challenge my accusers to produce
their proof that I was bought...
850
01:49:51,174 --> 01:49:53,389
... so I can throw it in their teeth
851
01:50:08,285 --> 01:50:09,416
Going badly
852
01:50:10,177 --> 01:50:12,119
The jury was hand-picked
853
01:50:12,681 --> 01:50:16,332
But if they're afraid they'll be
torn apart by the mob, they'll acquit
854
01:50:22,429 --> 01:50:24,390
Of course I was in league with Mirabeau
855
01:50:24,944 --> 01:50:27,097
In order to prevent his blunders
856
01:50:31,320 --> 01:50:32,934
I knew what I was doing
857
01:50:33,905 --> 01:50:36,820
I've never let avarice
or ambition dominate me
858
01:50:38,717 --> 01:50:40,920
True, I knew them both--
859
01:50:42,086 --> 01:50:43,585
We've been intimate
860
01:50:44,588 --> 01:50:47,992
Both, on occasion, have been my mistress
861
01:50:49,365 --> 01:50:50,738
But never my master !
862
01:51:02,022 --> 01:51:03,395
Go by the back way
863
01:51:04,526 --> 01:51:07,719
Get this to Herman, but be discreet
864
01:51:25,964 --> 01:51:29,621
What could be the motive
for these attacks and lies ?
865
01:51:34,561 --> 01:51:37,211
The accused will confine himself
to his own defense
866
01:51:37,527 --> 01:51:41,219
You're accused of having protected
and favored the monarchy
867
01:51:41,530 --> 01:51:42,557
It's a lie !
868
01:51:47,865 --> 01:51:51,269
The monarchy ?
Say that again, to my face !
869
01:51:53,431 --> 01:51:54,910
Danton, a monarchist ?
870
01:52:00,468 --> 01:52:01,749
The hearing is adjourned
871
01:52:03,410 --> 01:52:06,375
We must retire to examine fresh evidence
872
01:52:07,402 --> 01:52:09,595
What evidence ? There is no evidence !
873
01:52:10,933 --> 01:52:12,987
Return the prisoners to their cells
874
01:52:13,107 --> 01:52:14,583
You can't silence us !
875
01:52:45,804 --> 01:52:47,013
Death to the tyrant !
876
01:53:07,172 --> 01:53:08,396
Death to the tyrant !
877
01:53:12,307 --> 01:53:13,761
Death to the tyrant !
878
01:53:20,998 --> 01:53:22,522
Down with Robespierre !
879
01:53:30,820 --> 01:53:33,139
We never should have
risked a public trial
880
01:53:33,259 --> 01:53:34,570
We had no choice
881
01:53:34,690 --> 01:53:35,830
He mustn't win
882
01:53:38,919 --> 01:53:39,949
At any cost
883
01:53:42,473 --> 01:53:43,346
He won't
884
01:53:53,426 --> 01:53:57,188
I have here a deposition regarding
a conspiracy between Desmoulins'wife...
885
01:53:57,522 --> 01:54:01,491
... and some aristocrats
to free her husband and Danton
886
01:54:03,931 --> 01:54:05,790
It's all we need to act
887
01:54:19,185 --> 01:54:20,420
Any comments ?
888
01:54:22,116 --> 01:54:23,079
I'll be brief
889
01:54:25,366 --> 01:54:28,966
This is such a blatant forgery,
no one could believe it
890
01:54:29,831 --> 01:54:32,272
Let me remind you
that if Danton is acquitted...
891
01:54:32,392 --> 01:54:34,398
... he'll make a clean sweep
of the Committee
892
01:54:34,518 --> 01:54:36,588
And replace it with another one
full of his partisans
893
01:54:36,880 --> 01:54:38,476
If it's according to the law
894
01:54:38,750 --> 01:54:41,807
Our duty is to follow
the law and accept it
895
01:54:48,891 --> 01:54:53,645
Citizen Robespierre, you have always been
the most devoted to the Constitution
896
01:54:55,606 --> 01:54:56,655
What do you think ?
897
01:55:02,120 --> 01:55:06,032
If Danton wins, this Republic...
898
01:55:06,152 --> 01:55:11,211
... that has survived the attacks
of all the monarchies of Europe...
899
01:55:11,331 --> 01:55:14,641
... will be destroyed
from within, by corruption
900
01:55:16,071 --> 01:55:17,871
We have no other choice
901
01:55:19,452 --> 01:55:22,563
Accept the testimony
Saint-Just has brought us
902
01:55:24,345 --> 01:55:25,568
The testimony !
903
01:55:26,214 --> 01:55:29,249
I move the Committee announce
the existence of a conspiracy...
904
01:55:29,369 --> 01:55:31,660
... to free Danton and his accomplices
905
01:55:31,965 --> 01:55:35,312
And this testimony
standing as proof of guilt...
906
01:55:36,223 --> 01:55:39,176
... the prisoners are barred
from publicly defending themselves
907
01:55:46,758 --> 01:55:49,285
All in favor of Saint-Just's motion ?
908
01:56:04,946 --> 01:56:06,296
The motion is passed
909
01:56:10,508 --> 01:56:11,456
Be good
910
01:56:25,180 --> 01:56:27,810
Why ? She's done nothing wrong !
911
01:56:37,797 --> 01:56:39,828
They're going to murder my wife !
912
01:56:40,140 --> 01:56:42,563
She's innocent,
but they're going to murder her !
913
01:56:50,733 --> 01:56:52,291
This is a parody of justice
914
01:56:54,044 --> 01:56:56,687
When a government
sinks to this level...
915
01:56:56,807 --> 01:57:00,033
...it shows its moral bankruptcy
to the whole world !
916
01:57:01,625 --> 01:57:02,618
He's right !
917
01:57:07,990 --> 01:57:10,275
Has the jury heard enough evidence ?
918
01:57:10,644 --> 01:57:12,006
Yes, Citizen President
919
01:57:14,059 --> 01:57:14,947
A lie !
920
01:57:16,944 --> 01:57:18,351
You've heard nothing
921
01:57:18,471 --> 01:57:21,028
This is Robespierre's doing - remember !
922
01:57:21,859 --> 01:57:24,395
A scaffold is waiting for Robespierre
923
01:57:25,095 --> 01:57:26,154
Take them away !
924
01:57:30,395 --> 01:57:34,030
The law requires the jury to deliver
its verdict before the accused
925
01:57:34,447 --> 01:57:36,650
In view of the accused's behavior...
926
01:57:36,770 --> 01:57:39,005
... I move this be settled
in their absence
927
01:57:39,372 --> 01:57:42,305
The Assistant Prosecutor's
motion is accepted !
928
01:57:57,809 --> 01:58:01,121
There would have been
no Revolution without me
929
01:58:04,513 --> 01:58:07,179
There would have been
no Republic without me
930
01:58:10,379 --> 01:58:14,671
You're not leading me to my death ;
I will live forever
931
01:58:16,113 --> 01:58:19,489
The world will look at us
and ask what sort of men we were
932
01:58:22,154 --> 01:58:25,581
Let them not say that we were
no better than those we overthrew
933
01:58:28,420 --> 01:58:30,061
We are all going to die
934
01:58:30,797 --> 01:58:32,932
I know this court : I created it
935
01:58:35,066 --> 01:58:37,524
And I ask forgiveness of God and man
936
01:58:39,764 --> 01:58:43,242
It was not intended
to be the scourge of mankind...
937
01:58:45,580 --> 01:58:50,212
... but a last defense against
madness, brutality and fear
938
01:58:52,768 --> 01:58:56,330
Instead, it's become
the murderer of conscience
939
01:58:57,418 --> 01:59:00,185
And let it be known
to those who come to judge us...
940
01:59:00,305 --> 01:59:02,637
... that this is not what I wanted
941
01:59:03,629 --> 01:59:07,633
If I speak today,
it's to defend what we've created...
942
01:59:08,325 --> 01:59:10,152
... for all that we've achieved
943
01:59:11,879 --> 01:59:13,305
And not to save my life
944
01:59:15,594 --> 01:59:18,622
We have broken the tyranny of privilege
945
01:59:20,913 --> 01:59:23,175
We have cut the root of corruption...
946
01:59:23,948 --> 01:59:28,113
... by abolishing those powers
no man has the right to wield
947
01:59:28,794 --> 01:59:34,638
We ended the monopoly of birth and wealth
in all the great offices of the State
948
01:59:35,867 --> 01:59:38,462
In our churches, our armies...
949
01:59:39,916 --> 01:59:42,535
... all this vast complex
of arteries and veins...
950
01:59:42,655 --> 01:59:45,955
... that feed this magnificent body
which is France
951
01:59:47,035 --> 01:59:51,087
We've declared the humblest man
is equal to the greatest
952
01:59:52,391 --> 01:59:56,130
And we've offered to slaves
the liberty we won for ourselves
953
01:59:57,618 --> 01:59:59,383
We entrust to the world...
954
02:00:00,676 --> 02:00:04,091
... the task of building the future
on the hope we kindled
955
02:00:07,182 --> 02:00:10,321
This is more than a victory in battle
956
02:00:12,882 --> 02:00:16,944
More than the swords,
cannons and cavalry of Europe
957
02:00:20,567 --> 02:00:24,859
And this inspiration...
this vision for all men everywhere...
958
02:00:30,213 --> 02:00:34,736
... this longing,
this thirst can never be stifled
959
02:00:51,295 --> 02:00:53,730
We will not have lived in vain
960
02:03:16,529 --> 02:03:17,733
Goodbye, brother
961
02:03:25,680 --> 02:03:27,607
Sanson, take this lock of hair
962
02:03:28,518 --> 02:03:31,403
It's my wife's. Send it to her mother
963
02:04:02,849 --> 02:04:04,787
Show my head to the people
964
02:04:06,145 --> 02:04:07,577
It's worth seeing
965
02:04:34,933 --> 02:04:35,738
Now !
966
02:05:14,459 --> 02:05:19,052
I was only a little boy
when I met Jean-Jacques Rousseau
967
02:05:21,659 --> 02:05:26,067
And we talked about God, fate...
968
02:05:28,789 --> 02:05:32,446
... man's need to reach for something
higher than himself
969
02:05:36,231 --> 02:05:38,712
God knows, I've been a bad Catholic
970
02:05:39,726 --> 02:05:42,437
But I've never wavered
in my conviction...
971
02:05:43,949 --> 02:05:47,133
... that there is some great Power
watching over us
972
02:05:49,060 --> 02:05:50,658
Protecting the innocent
973
02:05:52,573 --> 02:05:54,212
Blessing the virtuous
974
02:05:56,854 --> 02:05:58,723
Condeming the wicked
975
02:06:02,732 --> 02:06:05,185
Men cannot live without such a belief
976
02:06:08,213 --> 02:06:09,863
And should not even try
977
02:07:36,961 --> 02:07:39,114
June 8, 1794
978
02:07:40,172 --> 02:07:43,739
People of France, beloved Republic
979
02:07:45,332 --> 02:07:51,069
By this Tree of Liberty, I declare that
never has the world offered its Creator...
980
02:07:51,886 --> 02:07:54,231
... a spectacle more worthy of Him...
981
02:07:54,660 --> 02:07:57,002
... than the sight of Paris today...
982
02:07:57,533 --> 02:08:00,032
... on this day of homage
to His greatness
983
02:08:01,249 --> 02:08:03,017
Here, beneath His gaze...
984
02:08:04,515 --> 02:08:07,065
- What's going on ?
- Oh, he's still talking
985
02:08:08,600 --> 02:08:10,283
Wake me when he's done
986
02:08:12,246 --> 02:08:15,974
... and your souls
are but a breath of wind...
987
02:08:17,024 --> 02:08:19,549
... passing into nothingness after death
988
02:08:20,416 --> 02:08:22,516
- He thinks he's the Pope !
- Or God
989
02:08:24,720 --> 02:08:28,996
The true priest
of the Supreme Being is Nature
990
02:08:31,579 --> 02:08:34,659
His temple is the universe
991
02:08:38,076 --> 02:08:40,879
His religion is Virtue
992
02:08:42,137 --> 02:08:43,879
And yours is Murder !
993
02:08:47,503 --> 02:08:49,972
The Revolution has been a transition--
994
02:08:53,122 --> 02:08:55,291
The Revolution has been a transition--
995
02:08:59,330 --> 02:09:04,382
... a transition from the Reign of Crime
to the Reign of Justice
996
02:09:12,298 --> 02:09:16,316
To express the devotion of the French
people to the Supreme Being...
997
02:09:17,860 --> 02:09:20,536
... we reject the false god of atheism
998
02:09:22,404 --> 02:09:26,488
And we welcome
the sublime goddess of Reason
999
02:09:27,550 --> 02:09:28,830
Kiss her for me !
1000
02:09:37,824 --> 02:09:42,186
Only the Supreme Being has the power
to bring fear and remorse...
1001
02:09:43,086 --> 02:09:45,509
...into the hearts
of oppressors and tyrants !
1002
02:09:45,894 --> 02:09:48,178
You should know, Robespierre !
1003
02:10:26,661 --> 02:10:28,906
Weaklings ! You don't understand a thing
1004
02:10:29,291 --> 02:10:34,374
The Law of Prairial was introduced to
punish a few traitors in the Convention
1005
02:10:34,610 --> 02:10:38,268
You've executed more people in the
last 2 months than in the last 2 years !
1006
02:10:38,499 --> 02:10:40,251
- I've executed ?
- Yes, you !
1007
02:10:40,563 --> 02:10:42,610
Your justice ! Your law !
1008
02:10:43,721 --> 02:10:45,069
Your lack of justice !
1009
02:10:45,721 --> 02:10:48,702
Do you want to see
more trials like Danton's ?
1010
02:10:49,090 --> 02:10:51,670
There are no more trials !
Just executions !
1011
02:10:51,790 --> 02:10:52,855
That's a lie !
1012
02:10:53,409 --> 02:10:56,949
You've placed your own
handpicked men in all the key posts !
1013
02:10:57,447 --> 02:10:58,715
Another lie !
1014
02:11:32,900 --> 02:11:35,185
We've won a great victory at Fleurus
1015
02:11:36,523 --> 02:11:41,137
My enemies no doubt
will use it against me
1016
02:11:43,896 --> 02:11:45,316
Like everything else
1017
02:11:47,450 --> 02:11:48,996
Everything will be fine
1018
02:11:50,883 --> 02:11:52,647
There's no one I can trust...
1019
02:11:57,125 --> 02:11:58,497
... except for you
1020
02:12:00,599 --> 02:12:01,666
My friends
1021
02:12:02,716 --> 02:12:04,066
My dear friends
1022
02:12:04,654 --> 02:12:05,658
Only you
1023
02:12:09,974 --> 02:12:11,531
You are my true family
1024
02:12:18,512 --> 02:12:20,805
It's time we took responsibility
into our own hands
1025
02:12:20,925 --> 02:12:23,513
There is no more excuse for
Robespierre's rotten tribunals...
1026
02:12:23,633 --> 02:12:25,486
... or his dictatorial airs
1027
02:12:28,013 --> 02:12:32,711
May I suggest we wait until Citizen
Robespierre is with us before criti--
1028
02:12:32,831 --> 02:12:36,787
We've carried out Citizien Robespierre's
commands for far too long
1029
02:12:36,907 --> 02:12:39,545
Robespierre is a member
of this Committee, nothing more
1030
02:12:40,191 --> 02:12:42,130
Like you. And you !
1031
02:12:43,047 --> 02:12:44,720
Robespierre is not the Republic
1032
02:12:44,840 --> 02:12:47,213
Are you turning into a moderate, Lindet ?
1033
02:12:49,036 --> 02:12:52,209
Compared to you,
a mad dog would be a moderate
1034
02:12:53,478 --> 02:12:57,671
Compared to you and Robespierre,
the executioner is an angel of mercy
1035
02:12:58,562 --> 02:13:00,212
You'll regret those words
1036
02:13:07,615 --> 02:13:10,055
The only thing I regret
is not saying it sooner
1037
02:13:10,366 --> 02:13:11,792
This is an insult !
1038
02:13:12,970 --> 02:13:15,822
Robespierre is the best among us
1039
02:13:16,627 --> 02:13:18,277
Except he's never among us anymore
1040
02:13:20,412 --> 02:13:21,531
Go see him
1041
02:13:22,962 --> 02:13:26,252
Tell the dictator this Committee
is no longer his lapdog
1042
02:13:50,117 --> 02:13:52,459
- It's Robespierre !
- He looks ill !
1043
02:14:05,939 --> 02:14:07,455
I'll go warn the Committee
1044
02:14:09,423 --> 02:14:11,237
Citizen President, may I have the floor ?
1045
02:14:26,911 --> 02:14:28,523
Robespierre has just arrived
1046
02:14:37,342 --> 02:14:41,861
I, who was born a slave to Liberty,
am called a tyrant
1047
02:14:44,393 --> 02:14:49,135
I, who have lived a martyr to
the Republic, am called a dictator
1048
02:14:51,628 --> 02:14:54,478
Why ? Who spreads these lies ?
1049
02:14:56,975 --> 02:14:59,666
Who deliberately says them
to deceive you ?
1050
02:15:00,367 --> 02:15:03,763
They say "The war is won,
and all is well"
1051
02:15:04,665 --> 02:15:05,681
This is a lie
1052
02:15:05,801 --> 02:15:07,227
He's just started
1053
02:15:07,745 --> 02:15:11,364
- The law and Revolutionary Tribunal...
- We have to do it today; now or never
1054
02:15:11,484 --> 02:15:12,950
... are instruments of tyranny
1055
02:15:13,070 --> 02:15:17,235
They're all that stand between
Virtue and its murderers
1056
02:15:20,461 --> 02:15:25,215
Citizens, I was born to fight against
crime, not preside over it
1057
02:15:26,605 --> 02:15:27,724
Hurry, hurry !
1058
02:15:28,809 --> 02:15:31,313
We can divide citizens into two parts :
1059
02:15:32,778 --> 02:15:35,951
Those in whose heart
burns the sacred fire...
1060
02:15:36,071 --> 02:15:39,071
... of Justice, Liberty and Peace...
1061
02:15:39,698 --> 02:15:42,349
... without which revolution
is nothing more...
1062
02:15:42,929 --> 02:15:46,055
... than the destruction
of a lesser crime by a greater
1063
02:15:47,352 --> 02:15:49,463
And those whose hearts are empty...
1064
02:15:50,744 --> 02:15:54,460
... governed by bestial forces
of greed and fear...
1065
02:15:55,983 --> 02:15:57,780
... ambition and corruption
1066
02:15:59,291 --> 02:16:02,725
There are those on the Committee
who counsel despair
1067
02:16:04,056 --> 02:16:09,829
And I tell you openly, there are those
here in the Convention who support it
1068
02:16:10,651 --> 02:16:14,010
I've come here
to expose a vast conspiracy
1069
02:16:14,425 --> 02:16:15,672
One moment, Citizen
1070
02:16:16,225 --> 02:16:20,583
The Committee must be purged and its
authority given to the Convention
1071
02:16:22,733 --> 02:16:25,929
Citizen ! I demand
that you name those you refer to
1072
02:16:31,540 --> 02:16:32,763
This is not the time
1073
02:16:32,883 --> 02:16:37,991
This is a slander against the Committee,
and the members of this Convention
1074
02:16:38,690 --> 02:16:40,349
Robespierre must name those he accuses
1075
02:16:40,755 --> 02:16:41,782
The names !
1076
02:16:49,951 --> 02:16:51,330
We want the names !
1077
02:17:03,000 --> 02:17:04,571
I stand by my proposal
1078
02:17:07,373 --> 02:17:08,562
You're a coward !
1079
02:17:13,451 --> 02:17:16,040
Let my attackers
prepare hemlock for me now
1080
02:17:18,413 --> 02:17:20,347
I will drink it in this sacred place
1081
02:17:20,467 --> 02:17:23,450
Why go on living when truth
and lies are indivisible ?
1082
02:17:24,969 --> 02:17:27,745
Everyone here would prefer to die...
1083
02:17:27,865 --> 02:17:30,770
... rather than go on living
beneath a Tyrant's lash
1084
02:17:31,001 --> 02:17:32,431
Death to the tyrant !
1085
02:17:42,345 --> 02:17:43,799
I demand the floor !
1086
02:17:43,919 --> 02:17:46,314
You've no right to speak, Robespierre !
1087
02:17:47,737 --> 02:17:49,272
I demand the floor !
1088
02:17:53,414 --> 02:17:55,757
It is to those with virtue I appeal !
1089
02:17:56,183 --> 02:17:58,122
Not the false! The corrupt!
1090
02:17:58,422 --> 02:18:00,649
False ! Outcast from society !
1091
02:18:05,991 --> 02:18:06,845
Quick !
1092
02:18:12,430 --> 02:18:14,449
Danton's blood is choking you !
1093
02:18:18,315 --> 02:18:22,850
Get back ! These are the seats
of good men you've murdered !
1094
02:18:36,516 --> 02:18:39,297
I move a decree of accusation
against Robespierre--
1095
02:18:41,582 --> 02:18:42,538
Couthon--
1096
02:18:44,455 --> 02:18:45,659
And Saint-Just !
1097
02:18:54,761 --> 02:18:56,670
I put to the motion to the vote
1098
02:19:00,524 --> 02:19:03,340
All those in favor, raise your hand
1099
02:19:13,864 --> 02:19:14,758
Passed !
1100
02:19:36,847 --> 02:19:39,488
We must hold the H�tel de Ville
no matter what
1101
02:19:39,608 --> 02:19:40,930
It must be a fortress
1102
02:19:41,520 --> 02:19:43,426
And above all,
we must appeal to the Army
1103
02:20:14,755 --> 02:20:16,682
Don't worry, we'll protect you
1104
02:20:32,967 --> 02:20:34,744
They've taken refuge
in the H�tel de Ville
1105
02:20:35,575 --> 02:20:38,091
The Paris Commune
is in revolt against us
1106
02:20:38,771 --> 02:20:41,092
They must be executed without trial !
1107
02:20:49,203 --> 02:20:50,792
Show some guts there !
1108
02:20:56,362 --> 02:20:57,955
Where are you going ?
1109
02:21:02,016 --> 02:21:03,747
Long live the Republic !
1110
02:21:04,520 --> 02:21:07,220
Barras is in command
and will take the H�tel de Ville
1111
02:21:07,340 --> 02:21:08,951
By force if necessary
1112
02:21:32,258 --> 02:21:34,092
- Good luck, commander
- Thank you
1113
02:21:55,010 --> 02:21:58,575
My God. Our soldiers must fight men
wearing the same uniform
1114
02:22:00,813 --> 02:22:04,217
Make a note : we must close
the gates to the city...
1115
02:22:05,094 --> 02:22:07,482
... shut down all newspapers,
arrest all journalists...
1116
02:22:07,725 --> 02:22:10,286
... and issue arrest warrants
for the leaders of the Convention
1117
02:22:29,104 --> 02:22:32,032
Bring anything you can find !
Barricade the doors !
1118
02:22:47,876 --> 02:22:50,768
A direct appeal to the Army :
it's our only chance
1119
02:24:37,536 --> 02:24:38,782
Here they come !
1120
02:26:04,457 --> 02:26:06,523
At least we achieved something
1121
02:28:52,543 --> 02:28:54,931
We have broken the tyranny of privilege
1122
02:28:55,289 --> 02:28:59,294
Cut the root of corruption by abolishing
the power no man has a right to wield
1123
02:28:59,581 --> 02:29:03,258
We've ended the monopoly
of birth and wealth...
1124
02:29:03,378 --> 02:29:05,707
... in all the great offices of the State
1125
02:29:05,827 --> 02:29:08,069
In our churches, our armies...
1126
02:29:09,115 --> 02:29:12,854
... in every part of this magnificent
body which is France
1127
02:29:14,296 --> 02:29:18,482
We've declared the humblest man
is equal to the greatest
1128
02:29:19,606 --> 02:29:23,813
And we've offered to slaves
the liberty we won for ourselves
1129
02:29:25,098 --> 02:29:28,521
We entrust to the world
the task of building the future...
1130
02:29:28,890 --> 02:29:30,898
... on the hope we kindled
1131
02:29:32,179 --> 02:29:34,405
This is more than a victory in battle
1132
02:29:34,706 --> 02:29:37,870
More than the swords,
cannons and cavalry of Europe
1133
02:29:39,268 --> 02:29:42,880
And this inspiration...
this vision for all men everywhere...
1134
02:29:45,984 --> 02:29:48,569
... this longing, this thirst
for Liberty...
1135
02:29:49,042 --> 02:29:51,972
... no one will ever
be able to extinguish
1136
02:29:53,461 --> 02:29:55,699
Our lives will not have been pointless
1137
02:29:58,436 --> 02:30:00,928
We will not have lived in vain
1138
02:30:01,000 --> 02:30:04,149
