Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:30,803 --> 00:00:34,361
Alas, Majesty, today Phoebus
is eclipsed by rain
2
00:00:35,025 --> 00:00:36,708
Your Majesty is our only sun
3
00:00:38,882 --> 00:00:40,743
Sire, the compliment is over
4
00:01:17,178 --> 00:01:20,797
I can't believe it !
They didn't even say one word to you !
5
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,261
Desmoulins and Robespierre,
no talking ! Back in line !
6
00:01:59,599 --> 00:02:02,282
The French Revolution "The Years of Hope"
7
00:03:53,873 --> 00:03:55,000
And all that !
8
00:03:59,397 --> 00:04:01,737
Your Majesty will make Fortune blush !
9
00:04:02,008 --> 00:04:04,343
Dear Madame de Polignac,
you bring me luck
10
00:04:14,509 --> 00:04:16,048
Your Majesty has lost
11
00:04:17,957 --> 00:04:19,687
Here I am, penniless again
12
00:04:19,807 --> 00:04:22,825
Now I have to tell the poor man
I can't pay my debts...
13
00:04:22,945 --> 00:04:24,735
... so he'll have to do it.
14
00:04:24,989 --> 00:04:26,728
After all, I am his wife !
15
00:04:39,110 --> 00:04:42,523
The fact is, every day
the country gets deeper in debt
16
00:04:45,094 --> 00:04:46,539
The costs of the court...
17
00:04:48,823 --> 00:04:51,107
The Queen's personal expenses...
18
00:04:54,473 --> 00:04:57,879
Our participation in
the American war of independence...
19
00:04:58,318 --> 00:05:01,083
... which cost us 2,000 million livres
20
00:05:03,397 --> 00:05:06,612
Frankly, the outlook
is not very encouraging
21
00:05:18,238 --> 00:05:19,942
What do you advise, Monsieur Necker ?
22
00:05:20,641 --> 00:05:22,605
Sire we have two options :
23
00:05:23,815 --> 00:05:27,114
First, default and let
the consequences fall where they may
24
00:05:27,234 --> 00:05:28,418
No, Monsieur Necker
25
00:05:41,399 --> 00:05:44,415
- Your second option ?
- Summon the Estates General
26
00:05:44,535 --> 00:05:48,526
It's the only body capable
of raising the taxes to pay the debt
27
00:05:49,399 --> 00:05:53,355
But we haven't had
to resort to that for 150 years
28
00:05:54,633 --> 00:05:56,284
Sire, it's inevitable
29
00:06:00,051 --> 00:06:02,399
This practice is quite uncivilized !
30
00:06:04,741 --> 00:06:09,219
I'll have to ask Dame Etiquette
the proper method of milking
31
00:06:16,436 --> 00:06:19,563
Mother ! Look ! I can ride all by myself !
32
00:06:30,379 --> 00:06:32,093
It's wonderful, darling !
33
00:06:34,808 --> 00:06:39,649
And now, dear brethren,
we're holding a meeting today...
34
00:06:39,769 --> 00:06:42,014
... March 6, in the church vestibule
35
00:06:42,805 --> 00:06:46,193
It's to draw up
the List of Grievances for this parish
36
00:06:47,139 --> 00:06:52,806
All men 25 years and older who pay taxes
are invited to come and contribute
37
00:06:55,724 --> 00:06:59,489
Our duty is to seize this opportunity
to tell the King...
38
00:06:59,901 --> 00:07:02,965
... the truth about what
is amiss in his kingdom
39
00:07:10,637 --> 00:07:13,763
I've had enough of lugging stones
around to please his lordship !
40
00:07:14,066 --> 00:07:17,510
- You want useless chores abolished !
- That's right !
41
00:07:17,971 --> 00:07:22,106
And the salt tax too - when the salt
we buy is rotten and full of dirt !
42
00:07:22,503 --> 00:07:24,439
Please, give him
a chance to write it down
43
00:07:25,169 --> 00:07:28,732
As a doctor, I demand
that taxation be shared equally
44
00:07:29,256 --> 00:07:32,939
By what right are the nobles
and the priests exempt ?
45
00:07:33,888 --> 00:07:36,263
And why can only
the nobility be officers ?
46
00:07:36,383 --> 00:07:39,765
Free access to all military,
civil and even church positions !
47
00:07:42,174 --> 00:07:43,840
- Ecclesiastic ?
- Exactly !
48
00:07:47,538 --> 00:07:49,849
What are you writing,
Camille Desmoulins ?
49
00:07:50,665 --> 00:07:54,921
No more privilege, no more
humiliation, and equality for all
50
00:07:56,056 --> 00:07:57,502
And Liberty too !
51
00:08:30,094 --> 00:08:31,549
"No more bread"
52
00:08:55,214 --> 00:08:57,357
Too proud to say hello
to your old friends ?
53
00:08:58,290 --> 00:09:00,322
Someone thinks he's a bigshot !
54
00:09:01,322 --> 00:09:02,601
I wasn't elected
55
00:09:03,877 --> 00:09:07,038
Camille ! They're idiots.
They don't know a thing
56
00:09:25,779 --> 00:09:27,366
You're not at Versailles ?
57
00:09:28,175 --> 00:09:30,338
Not this time - I lost.
58
00:09:40,522 --> 00:09:41,756
Lucie, go to your room
59
00:09:49,207 --> 00:09:53,198
You good-for-nothing ! If you try to see
my daughter I'll have you whipped !
60
00:09:53,833 --> 00:09:55,942
And arrested like a common criminal !
61
00:09:57,007 --> 00:10:00,348
Sir, I beg you to believe...
62
00:10:01,028 --> 00:10:05,210
... that I care very deeply
for your daughter
63
00:10:12,618 --> 00:10:16,342
Take my advice, Danton, get yourself
elected as a Deputy for Paris
64
00:10:16,462 --> 00:10:18,964
But do it now, or it will be too late
65
00:10:20,575 --> 00:10:24,472
Look at the stuff being written :
things are changing !
66
00:10:24,592 --> 00:10:26,083
What change ?
67
00:10:26,203 --> 00:10:30,841
Your kind and the clergy
will always outvote the commons
68
00:10:32,217 --> 00:10:34,737
- My kind ?
- Yes, the nobility, Monsieur de Mirabeau
69
00:10:35,394 --> 00:10:38,335
It's two against one,
and nothing will ever change
70
00:10:38,668 --> 00:10:40,340
That's what you think ?
71
00:10:43,573 --> 00:10:46,297
I've been elected
as a member of the Third Estate
72
00:10:49,588 --> 00:10:55,548
How long can the ruling class
cling to its privileges ?
73
00:10:56,048 --> 00:10:58,889
The world is moving - look at America
74
00:10:59,009 --> 00:11:01,606
Privilege will never be abolished
75
00:11:04,034 --> 00:11:07,922
The best we can hope for is to
spread the wealth around a little
76
00:11:08,867 --> 00:11:11,009
I'm not giving up my career for that
77
00:11:13,087 --> 00:11:14,087
Look
78
00:11:15,702 --> 00:11:16,928
She has a sister
79
00:11:18,813 --> 00:11:21,226
How about making a night of it ?
80
00:11:28,243 --> 00:11:31,695
No, I have work to do
and some friends are waiting for me.
81
00:11:32,926 --> 00:11:37,393
Your noble ideas vanish quickly
when a pair of tits comes in sight
82
00:11:37,513 --> 00:11:38,952
Two pairs of tits
83
00:11:56,278 --> 00:11:59,199
When did you add a "d'"
before your name ?
84
00:11:59,319 --> 00:12:02,470
Since trying to make money in this
business ; any more stupid questions ?
85
00:12:06,525 --> 00:12:07,954
That's for you...
86
00:12:09,081 --> 00:12:10,557
This one's for you, and this too
87
00:12:10,875 --> 00:12:12,922
I'll handle this one myself
88
00:12:26,295 --> 00:12:27,993
Write a summary
89
00:12:28,580 --> 00:12:31,803
A grain merchant
who's claiming the right...
90
00:12:32,152 --> 00:12:36,310
... to call himself
Viscount Something-or-other
91
00:12:36,430 --> 00:12:39,230
A bloody fool, but he pays well
92
00:12:59,922 --> 00:13:02,796
Why are you attacking me ?
I don't hoard food like some people
93
00:13:02,916 --> 00:13:04,630
You know it Danton ! Tell them !
94
00:13:26,166 --> 00:13:28,126
They've already killed a baker
95
00:13:28,650 --> 00:13:31,190
Everyone knew he hoarded grain
96
00:13:31,555 --> 00:13:33,237
I don't blame them
97
00:13:34,967 --> 00:13:38,618
They ought to hang all these damned
profiteers, to set an example
98
00:13:40,237 --> 00:13:42,813
Cut out your usual speech, Marat.
99
00:13:43,252 --> 00:13:45,951
This time it was Legendre,
but I know he's honest
100
00:13:46,071 --> 00:13:48,473
What difference does it make
to a starving crowd ?
101
00:13:55,804 --> 00:13:58,895
- Will she recover ?
- Probably not
102
00:13:59,450 --> 00:14:01,704
Besides, she has a broken neck
103
00:14:31,364 --> 00:14:32,983
Gabrielle, I'm hungry !
104
00:14:39,848 --> 00:14:42,579
Mirabeau was right. Things are changing
105
00:14:43,625 --> 00:14:45,609
I should have stood for election
106
00:14:46,371 --> 00:14:49,035
- Why ?
- To be a Deputy for Paris
107
00:14:50,355 --> 00:14:53,768
- Why ? You want to be ?
- No, I need to be
108
00:14:55,694 --> 00:14:57,154
That smells good
109
00:14:57,821 --> 00:14:59,955
Action, Gabrielle... action
110
00:15:01,519 --> 00:15:04,567
Have you ever in your life
just stood by and watched ?
111
00:15:06,055 --> 00:15:09,182
The more tempting the prospect...
112
00:15:10,135 --> 00:15:14,452
... the more I want to get my hands on it
113
00:15:29,193 --> 00:15:32,733
I believe that the three orders
assembled here...
114
00:15:33,161 --> 00:15:36,606
... will cooperate
for the general good of the state
115
00:15:37,288 --> 00:15:41,443
I declare myself
the first friend of my people
116
00:15:41,744 --> 00:15:46,983
And I welcome
the representatives of the nation...
117
00:15:47,103 --> 00:15:51,390
... it is my glory
to command by divine right
118
00:16:14,197 --> 00:16:16,093
That's Lafayette
119
00:16:16,213 --> 00:16:18,714
The Marquis de Lafayette ? From America ?
120
00:16:18,834 --> 00:16:22,401
Yes, my lord. The hero of the American
War of Independence
121
00:16:30,475 --> 00:16:36,065
Gentlemen. His Majesty
has summoned you here...
122
00:16:37,097 --> 00:16:42,779
... in order to remedy a deficit which
has raised so much comment in Europe
123
00:16:42,899 --> 00:16:47,518
- Who are those men all in black ?
- The Third Estate, my lord
124
00:16:48,677 --> 00:16:50,803
What is the Third Estate ?
125
00:16:50,923 --> 00:16:53,590
Those who are neither nobles nor priests
126
00:16:54,558 --> 00:16:56,288
That's a lot of people
127
00:17:00,422 --> 00:17:06,143
It is thus my duty to demonstrate
to you in detail...
128
00:17:06,263 --> 00:17:10,782
... the absolute necessity
of financial assistance
129
00:17:11,955 --> 00:17:15,876
This is why you have received
the rare privilege...
130
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,638
... of being assembed
here in the Estates General
131
00:17:20,532 --> 00:17:24,868
Each order shall assemble separately...
132
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:33,877
It's not Versailles, but it's
comfortable without costing too much
133
00:17:35,543 --> 00:17:38,701
- Have a seat
- I prefer the bed
134
00:17:42,426 --> 00:17:44,931
- You don't mind eggs ?
- Not at all
135
00:17:52,568 --> 00:17:55,171
- You're a lawyer, I hear
- Like you
136
00:17:55,980 --> 00:17:58,710
I made the mistake of moving to Paris
137
00:17:58,830 --> 00:18:01,029
Too many lawyers, not enough clients
138
00:18:06,578 --> 00:18:08,722
They want you to vote by order, right ?
139
00:18:11,315 --> 00:18:14,276
The clergy plus the nobility
make it 2 to 1
140
00:18:15,347 --> 00:18:17,312
At that rate, we'll always lose
141
00:18:18,164 --> 00:18:22,492
But if we vote as individuals,
the Third Estate has the majority
142
00:18:23,227 --> 00:18:25,719
Necker isn't stupid ;
he knows what he wants
143
00:18:25,973 --> 00:18:30,574
He means well, but he's a banker.
And he's Swiss
144
00:18:39,897 --> 00:18:42,402
The problem is they don't live
in the same world we do
145
00:18:44,310 --> 00:18:45,151
Well ?
146
00:18:46,786 --> 00:18:50,481
It would be enough if the lower
clergy, the poorest, join us
147
00:18:51,647 --> 00:18:56,171
If nothing changes, they won't get
any money - it's as simple as that
148
00:19:18,951 --> 00:19:22,076
Remember ? At Louis le Grand ?
Old Boiteux ?
149
00:19:24,284 --> 00:19:28,516
- "What is the Third Estate ?"
- "Nothing !"
150
00:19:28,636 --> 00:19:31,319
- "And what does it want ?"
- "Everything !"
151
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:41,661
It's so long ago
152
00:19:44,036 --> 00:19:46,464
But you haven't changed
153
00:19:46,734 --> 00:19:51,274
Always neat, with every hair in place
154
00:19:51,671 --> 00:19:57,108
My one luxury.
But you haven't changed either !
155
00:20:37,494 --> 00:20:40,025
A number of the clergy
have joined the Third Estate
156
00:20:41,558 --> 00:20:46,224
They say they form 96% of the country
and plan to form a National Assembly...
157
00:20:47,050 --> 00:20:48,658
... without Your Majesty's assent
158
00:20:48,928 --> 00:20:52,008
- Just as I predicted !
- Please, brother
159
00:20:55,086 --> 00:20:57,859
The best solution, Monsieur Necker...
160
00:20:59,256 --> 00:21:02,764
... would be to address the 3 orders...
161
00:21:02,884 --> 00:21:07,165
... and inform them
that their actions are illegal
162
00:21:07,689 --> 00:21:12,926
Excuse me, Sire, but I feel the situation
requires diplomacy, not confrontation
163
00:21:13,046 --> 00:21:16,049
Our authority is all that's left,
Monsieur Necker
164
00:21:16,319 --> 00:21:19,306
Authority and obedience
by force, if necessary
165
00:21:38,261 --> 00:21:41,876
- What's happening ?
- They won't let us in.
166
00:21:42,833 --> 00:21:44,182
It's an outrage !
167
00:21:49,256 --> 00:21:50,780
To the Tennis Court !
168
00:22:09,307 --> 00:22:11,371
Back to the changing room, gentlemen !
169
00:22:24,150 --> 00:22:25,733
Bailly ! Take the chair !
170
00:22:34,958 --> 00:22:35,907
Silence !
171
00:22:39,559 --> 00:22:43,448
Let us take an oath, here and now
172
00:22:44,194 --> 00:22:49,813
To never separate, to reassemble
wherever circumstances demand...
173
00:22:50,337 --> 00:22:55,107
... until we've given France
a constitution
174
00:22:55,227 --> 00:22:56,282
I swear !
175
00:23:06,502 --> 00:23:13,258
Therefore I declare void,
illegal and unconstitutional...
176
00:23:14,496 --> 00:23:17,131
... the acts of the
so-called National Assembly...
177
00:23:17,251 --> 00:23:19,631
... which is meeting despite my orders
178
00:23:20,655 --> 00:23:24,547
I am the sole guardian
of my people's welfare
179
00:23:25,944 --> 00:23:29,924
And if you abandon me
in such a weighty endeavor...
180
00:23:30,499 --> 00:23:33,873
... it is you who will be abandoned,
and not me
181
00:23:35,553 --> 00:23:38,191
I order you to disperse at once...
182
00:23:38,490 --> 00:23:43,654
... and return to the rooms
set aside for your respective orders...
183
00:23:45,130 --> 00:23:46,908
... to resume your meetings
184
00:23:54,976 --> 00:23:56,262
Vive le roi !
185
00:25:01,643 --> 00:25:04,529
By what right
do you occupy that seat, sir ?
186
00:25:04,649 --> 00:25:07,551
My name is Bailly - I'm an astronomer
187
00:25:08,201 --> 00:25:10,629
Member of the Academy of Science
and Member for Paris
188
00:25:11,645 --> 00:25:16,485
These gentlemen have elected me
President of the National Assembly
189
00:25:17,122 --> 00:25:21,059
You've all heard the King
order you to disperse !
190
00:25:21,836 --> 00:25:27,691
I believe that the nation in assembly
receives orders from no one
191
00:25:29,526 --> 00:25:34,741
Go tell those who sent you that we
are here by the will of the people
192
00:25:35,288 --> 00:25:39,422
And we won't leave
except at the point of a bayonet !
193
00:25:51,509 --> 00:25:53,365
- They want to stay ?
- Yes, Sire
194
00:25:58,700 --> 00:26:00,947
To hell with them then ! Let them stay !
195
00:26:06,664 --> 00:26:10,838
The Third Estate is not making a
challenge to the monarchy, just an appeal
196
00:26:11,484 --> 00:26:15,570
If you would recognize their legal
existence to help you govern...
197
00:26:15,690 --> 00:26:18,325
Wanting to share
the King's power is treason
198
00:26:20,293 --> 00:26:22,759
You should hang them all,
as an example
199
00:26:30,667 --> 00:26:34,393
But if the Third Estate
has the support of the people--
200
00:26:35,702 --> 00:26:36,876
Send in the troops
201
00:26:37,178 --> 00:26:38,971
I advise against it, Sire
202
00:26:41,715 --> 00:26:44,810
- If we could find a compromise--
- There is no compromise
203
00:26:46,937 --> 00:26:48,255
Except for time
204
00:26:54,679 --> 00:26:59,950
If I understand you, Monsieur Necker,
the King cannot oppose this Assembly...
205
00:27:00,070 --> 00:27:02,083
... without making things worse
206
00:27:03,329 --> 00:27:06,536
In that case, he shouldn't even try
207
00:27:08,329 --> 00:27:10,599
But rather, agree to their demands...
208
00:27:12,107 --> 00:27:13,329
... for now
209
00:27:14,458 --> 00:27:18,716
But the King must prepare to respond
to their next demands with force
210
00:27:20,100 --> 00:27:25,275
It appears Her Majesty understands
the situation better than any of us
211
00:28:27,620 --> 00:28:31,704
The intervention of the foreign
regiments seems to me ill-advised
212
00:28:32,604 --> 00:28:37,377
They are regiments from
the provinces, not foreign
213
00:28:39,105 --> 00:28:43,775
And I can count on their loyalty in the
event of an insurrection in the capitol
214
00:28:44,446 --> 00:28:47,208
The people do not see the uniforms,
but the men wearing them
215
00:28:48,858 --> 00:28:52,811
Swiss and German troops,
most of whom don't even speak French
216
00:28:54,779 --> 00:28:58,582
They don't see the love Your Majesty has
for them - just a sign of tyranny
217
00:29:00,002 --> 00:29:01,573
It's what your enemies want
218
00:29:02,224 --> 00:29:04,756
That is not my opinion, Monsieur Necker
219
00:29:05,597 --> 00:29:09,057
Nor is it the opinion
of those I have confidence in
220
00:29:15,068 --> 00:29:19,226
Then, Your Majesty, I have no choice...
221
00:29:19,655 --> 00:29:22,068
... but to offer my resignation
222
00:29:23,393 --> 00:29:25,901
And I to accept it
223
00:29:58,704 --> 00:29:59,704
Citizens !
224
00:30:04,670 --> 00:30:08,896
I've come from Versailles.
The King has dismissed Necker !
225
00:30:11,837 --> 00:30:16,266
It's the signal for a St. Bartholomew's
Massacre of patriots !
226
00:30:18,227 --> 00:30:25,298
Tonight Swiss and German batallions
will come out to slaughter us !
227
00:30:28,554 --> 00:30:32,046
There's only one solution :
to take up arms !
228
00:30:32,761 --> 00:30:35,427
To arms ! To arms !
229
00:30:35,856 --> 00:30:38,105
All Paris must take up arms !
230
00:30:50,579 --> 00:30:53,642
My friends, we know our enemies.
231
00:30:54,118 --> 00:30:56,833
But we need a way
to recognize each other
232
00:30:59,988 --> 00:31:04,052
All those who want to fight...
233
00:31:04,433 --> 00:31:09,194
... proudly declare it by wearing green
234
00:31:09,314 --> 00:31:11,444
Green, the color of hope
235
00:31:11,952 --> 00:31:14,221
This will be our symbol !
236
00:31:14,507 --> 00:31:15,721
Our uniform !
237
00:31:15,999 --> 00:31:17,444
Our victory !
238
00:31:31,999 --> 00:31:34,190
Look ! The police are here !
239
00:31:38,158 --> 00:31:41,150
I call my brothers to liberty
240
00:31:41,531 --> 00:31:43,245
You won't take me alive
241
00:31:43,924 --> 00:31:49,210
And I will die gloriously rather than
see France remain in bondage !
242
00:32:39,944 --> 00:32:44,110
The King has dismissed Necker.
If he uses his troops it'll cost him
243
00:33:02,578 --> 00:33:06,073
My friend you can write
your memoires later. Come on !
244
00:33:07,884 --> 00:33:10,701
News from the Palais Royale ;
they've called for insurrection !
245
00:33:10,821 --> 00:33:12,766
- Why ?
- The King has dismissed Necker
246
00:33:50,705 --> 00:33:53,410
This is a direct attack
on the will of the people...
247
00:33:53,530 --> 00:33:56,403
... expressed through
their elected representatives !
248
00:34:05,394 --> 00:34:09,181
Will we allow Tyranny
to triumph over Liberty ? No !
249
00:34:15,965 --> 00:34:19,632
Will we allow one man the power
to wipe away in a single day...
250
00:34:19,902 --> 00:34:24,072
... the hope of finally seeing
a free people in France ? No !
251
00:34:30,657 --> 00:34:34,165
I want every man
of the district to be a volunteer
252
00:34:35,260 --> 00:34:37,732
We will show the whole world...
253
00:34:38,891 --> 00:34:42,256
... that we have no fear of these dogs...
254
00:34:43,002 --> 00:34:45,456
... who dare lay siege to our city !
255
00:34:57,981 --> 00:34:59,187
Sign with me !
256
00:35:13,467 --> 00:35:17,308
Don't worry, we'll wake them up !
My name's Fournoyer
257
00:35:18,882 --> 00:35:22,507
They call me "The American".
I was a distiller in Santo Domingo
258
00:35:23,660 --> 00:35:25,724
Where will we get the weapons ?
259
00:35:26,041 --> 00:35:29,549
The guns are at Les Invalides ;
and the powder at the Bastille !
260
00:35:46,299 --> 00:35:48,384
Very good, Lieutenant.
Any problems ?
261
00:35:48,504 --> 00:35:51,788
Just one.
If I give the order, will they fire ?
262
00:35:58,283 --> 00:36:00,775
- Surely your Swiss will ?
- Probably.
263
00:36:01,156 --> 00:36:03,442
But can you count on your own men ?
264
00:36:13,931 --> 00:36:16,106
The powder ! The powder !
265
00:36:24,596 --> 00:36:26,390
Citizens - we must have the Bastille
266
00:36:27,580 --> 00:36:29,496
We want the Bastille !
267
00:36:30,110 --> 00:36:32,063
They have to pull back the cannons
268
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,783
Make way for the delegation from the
Permanent Committee of the H�tel de Ville
269
00:36:47,151 --> 00:36:49,096
Make them remove the cannons !
270
00:36:54,804 --> 00:36:56,754
I've never heard of your committee.
271
00:36:57,328 --> 00:37:01,401
As of yesterday, the Members for Paris
have met at the H�tel de Ville
272
00:37:01,709 --> 00:37:06,185
They've formed a permanent committee
to maintain order in the capitol
273
00:37:06,566 --> 00:37:10,632
Are you here to force a confrontation,
or find a way of avoiding it ?
274
00:37:10,979 --> 00:37:15,408
- We're not here to threaten
- Then we agree on the essential points
275
00:37:18,244 --> 00:37:21,276
Gentlemen, I was about to dine
276
00:37:22,514 --> 00:37:24,355
Will you join me ?
277
00:37:31,033 --> 00:37:33,334
- What's going on ?
- They're still inside
278
00:37:33,454 --> 00:37:35,362
- Prisoners ?
- No one knows
279
00:37:35,482 --> 00:37:37,089
We want the Bastille !
280
00:37:39,954 --> 00:37:42,585
Apparently, sir, you are not hostile
to the people of Paris
281
00:37:43,700 --> 00:37:48,742
We need you to show it. Pull back
the cannons - the Committee demands it
282
00:37:49,523 --> 00:37:52,856
But why ? The cannons
have always been there
283
00:37:53,603 --> 00:37:56,451
It's an insult to the people.
It's intolerable
284
00:37:57,237 --> 00:37:59,975
These poor old cannons !
285
00:38:00,848 --> 00:38:05,260
You've seen them; where they are
they can't fire on the people
286
00:38:05,380 --> 00:38:07,466
It doesn't matter; people are afraid
287
00:38:09,276 --> 00:38:10,933
You must withdraw them, Governor
288
00:38:16,156 --> 00:38:22,018
- You want me to make a gesture
- Of goodwill
289
00:38:29,344 --> 00:38:33,445
My compliments to Lieutenant Deflue ;
please ask him to withdraw the cannons
290
00:38:35,883 --> 00:38:37,598
And close the openings
291
00:38:40,014 --> 00:38:42,754
Our committee could not ask for more
292
00:38:52,909 --> 00:38:55,310
Look ! They're pulling back the cannons !
293
00:38:56,210 --> 00:38:58,448
To load them ! They're going to fire !
294
00:39:01,354 --> 00:39:03,023
I have to alert the district !
295
00:39:05,704 --> 00:39:08,445
Do you know how many
prisoners we have here ?
296
00:39:10,259 --> 00:39:11,275
Seven
297
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:18,025
Four forgers, with long records
298
00:39:18,624 --> 00:39:20,346
One's a murderer
299
00:39:21,711 --> 00:39:25,648
And there's also an Irishman
who thinks he's Julius Caesar
300
00:39:28,628 --> 00:39:31,334
Let me through - I know the Governor
301
00:39:31,914 --> 00:39:33,993
He's a friend, I can talk to him
302
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:52,967
You see, I've kept my word
303
00:39:53,619 --> 00:39:55,698
You must surrender the fortress, sir
304
00:39:56,603 --> 00:39:58,534
Nobody said anything about that
305
00:39:58,793 --> 00:40:00,470
The Permanent Committee--
306
00:40:00,590 --> 00:40:03,001
The Bastille is in our district
307
00:40:03,914 --> 00:40:08,182
And the distict demands that you open
the gates of the Bastille to the people
308
00:40:12,614 --> 00:40:16,526
With all these innovations, it's very
difficult for an officer of the King...
309
00:40:17,328 --> 00:40:19,394
... to know where his duty lies
310
00:40:26,387 --> 00:40:29,551
Opening the gates is out of the question
311
00:40:41,556 --> 00:40:43,921
They're telling us to enter ! Come on !
312
00:40:49,064 --> 00:40:53,143
They don't understand !
They're advancing instead of leaving !
313
00:41:02,762 --> 00:41:06,497
- So this is how you negotiate
- I'll go down and talk to them
314
00:41:10,479 --> 00:41:11,685
The cannons !
315
00:41:18,277 --> 00:41:19,435
Take aim !
316
00:41:20,689 --> 00:41:23,430
- You're not going to fire !
- Don't worry
317
00:41:23,550 --> 00:41:26,712
I just want to show them
that the Bastille can defend itself
318
00:41:28,474 --> 00:41:30,999
Do not fire without my orders !
319
00:41:35,492 --> 00:41:41,095
Sir, if you have any authority over your
district, order your people to retreat
320
00:41:42,159 --> 00:41:44,649
Tell them I've promised
not to fire first
321
00:42:17,312 --> 00:42:18,757
Stop ! Stop !
322
00:42:23,487 --> 00:42:24,916
We have no choice
323
00:42:25,757 --> 00:42:28,377
- Take aim
- No, it'll be a bloodbath
324
00:42:29,759 --> 00:42:30,997
Hold your fire !
325
00:42:33,886 --> 00:42:35,755
If you won't fire, we're lost
326
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:40,529
Take aim !
327
00:42:43,154 --> 00:42:43,917
Fire !
328
00:42:45,170 --> 00:42:46,233
Fire !
329
00:43:08,911 --> 00:43:09,967
Cease fire !
330
00:43:40,703 --> 00:43:42,279
What are you doing ?
331
00:44:02,660 --> 00:44:03,740
We're saved !
332
00:44:45,529 --> 00:44:46,910
Long live the nation !
333
00:45:29,886 --> 00:45:31,330
Hey there, someone !
334
00:45:35,616 --> 00:45:38,547
Lieutenant Deflue -
I have a message from the Governor
335
00:45:41,677 --> 00:45:42,915
Bring a board !
336
00:45:45,036 --> 00:45:47,988
Cease fire !
There's a message from the Governor !
337
00:46:12,300 --> 00:46:15,005
"We have 2,000 barrels of powder
338
00:46:15,522 --> 00:46:20,728
Surrender, or we will
blow up the neighborhood"
339
00:46:24,530 --> 00:46:28,394
No surrender !
They must lower the drawbridge !
340
00:46:34,451 --> 00:46:36,054
We won't allow it, Sir
341
00:47:03,453 --> 00:47:05,294
Bring me my journal
342
00:47:15,633 --> 00:47:20,058
An agreeable afternoon, Cl�ry
but not very successful
343
00:47:20,905 --> 00:47:22,207
Not even a rabbit
344
00:47:30,905 --> 00:47:33,161
"July 14 - Nothing"
345
00:48:05,615 --> 00:48:06,520
Sire...
346
00:48:12,322 --> 00:48:13,417
What is it ?
347
00:48:13,537 --> 00:48:16,290
Sire, the Parisians
have taken the Bastille
348
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:24,569
Taken the Bastille ? What for ?
349
00:48:28,172 --> 00:48:29,279
It's a revolt
350
00:48:29,696 --> 00:48:31,966
No, Sire ; it's a revolution
351
00:48:44,691 --> 00:48:48,548
If the troops want to fire on Liberty,
they'll find barricades in their way !
352
00:48:48,668 --> 00:48:52,818
And the Cordeliers Club
will build the tallest one !
353
00:48:54,676 --> 00:48:57,407
- It's just that too many died
- What did you expect ?
354
00:48:57,527 --> 00:49:01,575
You can't build the kind of world you
want without breaking a few heads
355
00:49:03,613 --> 00:49:06,649
Now whatever happens,
things can never be the same
356
00:49:06,769 --> 00:49:09,122
That's for sure - never again
357
00:49:09,787 --> 00:49:12,287
Here's the wine,
for anyone who's thirsty !
358
00:49:16,557 --> 00:49:17,879
Vive Danton !
359
00:49:23,665 --> 00:49:25,503
You're lovelier than ever
360
00:49:45,340 --> 00:49:47,190
Just say the word and I'll stay
361
00:49:48,594 --> 00:49:50,481
Write me when you get to Basle
362
00:49:50,601 --> 00:49:52,276
I'll be there in a week
363
00:49:52,396 --> 00:49:55,425
Persuade the King
to take refuge in Metz. You must !
364
00:49:56,078 --> 00:49:57,610
He prefers to stay in Paris
365
00:49:58,054 --> 00:50:01,578
To win over his faithful subjects
who want to murder him !
366
00:50:02,526 --> 00:50:05,478
- I'll stay
- Goodbye
367
00:50:40,917 --> 00:50:42,503
You really don't want to go ?
368
00:50:43,583 --> 00:50:45,352
I can't leave you here alone
369
00:50:52,591 --> 00:50:55,813
Oh, my dear, faithful friend !
370
00:50:58,702 --> 00:51:00,764
No one is to shout "Vive le roi !"
371
00:51:38,825 --> 00:51:43,651
Your Majesty, these keys
were presented to Henri IV...
372
00:51:44,095 --> 00:51:46,175
... after he reconquered his people
373
00:51:46,810 --> 00:51:50,500
Today it is the people
who have reconquered their king
374
00:51:59,381 --> 00:52:03,191
So you are the Mayor of Paris,
Monsieur Bailly ?
375
00:52:03,699 --> 00:52:04,954
Yes, Your Majesty
376
00:52:05,429 --> 00:52:08,682
Until now, Paris has not had a Mayor
377
00:52:10,064 --> 00:52:12,429
The electors decided that it was time
378
00:52:14,620 --> 00:52:16,233
Ah, well, if they've decided
379
00:52:18,270 --> 00:52:21,037
If Your Majesty
would be so good as to follow me
380
00:52:36,273 --> 00:52:40,796
Monsieur de Lafayette,
I believe you also have something to say
381
00:52:43,146 --> 00:52:49,499
Your Majesty, the volunteers
who have mobilized to defend Paris...
382
00:52:50,249 --> 00:52:52,755
... have adopted
the name "National Guard"
383
00:52:54,011 --> 00:52:56,098
And they have named me their General
384
00:53:00,913 --> 00:53:06,172
Naturally, I could not accept this
appointment without your approval
385
00:53:08,121 --> 00:53:11,502
Then I must congratulate you, General
386
00:53:26,926 --> 00:53:32,165
Sire, all Parisians who love liberty...
387
00:53:33,196 --> 00:53:36,514
... have adopted the colors
of the capitol : blue and red
388
00:53:38,001 --> 00:53:39,224
I have noticed
389
00:53:39,477 --> 00:53:42,299
But I've added the white of the monarchy
390
00:53:43,477 --> 00:53:44,683
Excellent idea !
391
00:53:51,865 --> 00:53:55,433
If Your Majesty would be pleased
to pin this cockade to your hat...
392
00:53:56,072 --> 00:53:58,199
... your loyal subjects
would be overjoyed.
393
00:54:03,923 --> 00:54:06,304
Perhaps you could pin it on for me
394
00:54:21,155 --> 00:54:25,615
Gentlemen, I have some news for you
395
00:54:29,895 --> 00:54:34,958
I have ordered the withdrawal
of the troops presently in the capitol
396
00:54:37,276 --> 00:54:40,944
And this morning
I wrote to Monsieur Necker...
397
00:54:41,691 --> 00:54:44,691
... to ask him to rejoin my ministry
398
00:55:21,754 --> 00:55:23,530
Such back-breaking labor,
Monsieur le Comte
399
00:55:23,650 --> 00:55:26,167
It couldn't go on any longer
400
00:55:30,843 --> 00:55:32,017
August 4, 1789
401
00:55:32,430 --> 00:55:36,869
These attacks on the property of the
nobility, across the entire country...
402
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:39,767
... are not acts of common vandalism
403
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:42,732
These attacks should fill us with pride
404
00:55:43,366 --> 00:55:46,958
They are the funeral pyres of privilege !
405
00:55:53,420 --> 00:55:57,701
Tell the people that you recognize
the injustice of the rights...
406
00:55:57,821 --> 00:56:01,193
... acquired during
the dark days of ignorance
407
00:56:09,131 --> 00:56:14,086
Our colleague from Bretagne is right.
The people's anger is a just anger
408
00:56:15,012 --> 00:56:19,658
I, Viscount de Noailles
propose that all privileges...
409
00:56:20,039 --> 00:56:22,150
... and rights of the nobility
be abolished
410
00:56:35,230 --> 00:56:40,770
I, Count de Beauharnais propose
that henceforth all occupations...
411
00:56:40,890 --> 00:56:44,310
... be open to all: nobles and commoners
412
00:56:53,285 --> 00:56:57,162
I, Duke de la
Rochefoucault-Liancourt propose...
413
00:56:57,782 --> 00:57:01,813
... that the National Assembly
abolish slavery
414
00:57:02,321 --> 00:57:05,708
And recognize
that blacks are human beings
415
00:57:11,896 --> 00:57:17,198
I, Bishop of Nancy,
renounce the possessions...
416
00:57:17,610 --> 00:57:22,086
... that the Church has unjustly
acquired for too long
417
00:57:26,339 --> 00:57:29,846
They're drunk on fine words
and good intentions
418
00:57:30,752 --> 00:57:34,425
They'll wake up with a nice hangover
419
00:57:35,411 --> 00:57:38,822
And they'll go back on everything
they've given up
420
00:57:46,146 --> 00:57:47,649
Citizens, listen !
421
00:57:49,527 --> 00:57:52,498
The Assembly has declared
freedom of religion
422
00:57:53,398 --> 00:57:54,717
Who gives a damn ?
423
00:57:56,351 --> 00:58:01,716
But much more important ;
they've declared freedom of the press !
424
00:58:04,097 --> 00:58:05,703
I'll start my paper, Georges !
425
00:58:05,823 --> 00:58:08,716
I've already got the name :
Revolutions of France and Brabant
426
00:58:08,836 --> 00:58:10,999
Write, Camille.
It's what you do best
427
00:58:13,288 --> 00:58:15,783
I'll listen to the people,
and I'll say everything :
428
00:58:15,903 --> 00:58:18,988
Their concerns, their hopes, their joys
429
00:58:19,428 --> 00:58:21,608
But to understand, not manipulate them
430
00:58:21,728 --> 00:58:24,072
Without betraying
the truth or my conscience
431
00:58:26,915 --> 00:58:28,289
I'll find you the money
432
00:58:28,883 --> 00:58:33,518
The representatives of the French people,
formed into the National Assembly...
433
00:58:35,010 --> 00:58:39,081
... considering that ignorance,
forgetfulness...
434
00:58:40,113 --> 00:58:42,612
... or contempt for the Rights of Man...
435
00:58:42,732 --> 00:58:48,025
... are the sole cause of public suffering
and government corruption...
436
00:58:49,263 --> 00:58:52,173
... have resolved to express
in a solemn declaration...
437
00:58:52,820 --> 00:58:58,503
... the natural, inalienable
and sacred rights of man
438
00:59:01,820 --> 00:59:03,729
I ask you to rise, gentlemen
439
00:59:11,216 --> 00:59:17,185
Article 1 : Men are born and remain
free and equal before the Law
440
00:59:18,756 --> 00:59:24,446
Social distinctions can be founded
only upon public utility
441
00:59:27,540 --> 00:59:33,661
These rights are Liberty, Property,
Security and Resistance to Oppression
442
00:59:38,332 --> 00:59:42,200
The nation is essentially
the source of all sovereignty
443
00:59:45,332 --> 00:59:49,358
The Law may only forbid
activities harmful to society
444
00:59:51,935 --> 00:59:55,274
Whatever is not forbidden by Law
cannot be hindered
445
00:59:57,316 --> 01:00:00,812
The Law is the expression
of the general Will
446
01:00:02,327 --> 01:00:04,454
All citizens are equal before it...
447
01:00:05,184 --> 01:00:08,994
... and equally eligible
for every public position and honor
448
01:00:11,995 --> 01:00:17,551
No man can be accused, arrested or
imprisoned unless by force of Law
449
01:00:21,522 --> 01:00:25,446
Every man is presumed innocent
until proven guilty
450
01:00:27,728 --> 01:00:31,575
No one can be persecuted
for his beliefs, including religious
451
01:00:36,114 --> 01:00:39,043
The free expression
of ideas and opinions...
452
01:00:39,163 --> 01:00:41,646
... is one of the most
precious rights of mankind
453
01:00:42,709 --> 01:00:47,226
All citizens may speak,
write and publish freely...
454
01:00:48,197 --> 01:00:53,101
... except as determined by the Law
in order to preserve Liberty
455
01:00:57,181 --> 01:01:01,607
The safeguard of the Rights of Man and
the citizenry requires a public force
456
01:01:02,498 --> 01:01:06,038
This force is formed
for the benefit of all
457
01:01:08,601 --> 01:01:11,712
The right of private property
is sacred and inviolable
458
01:01:12,029 --> 01:01:14,069
None can be deprived of it...
459
01:01:14,719 --> 01:01:19,608
... except when the common good
legitimately requires it
460
01:01:25,881 --> 01:01:30,670
I've done my best, Monsieur Necker,
but I will not sign
461
01:01:31,580 --> 01:01:36,020
Neither the Decree on the Abandonment
of Privileges, nor the Rights of Man
462
01:01:39,097 --> 01:01:41,668
How will the Church survive
without its tithes ?
463
01:01:42,367 --> 01:01:45,735
And the minor nobility without
the revenue of their peasants ?
464
01:01:46,744 --> 01:01:49,061
Sire, the nobility
and the clergy themselves--
465
01:01:49,181 --> 01:01:50,014
I know
466
01:01:54,457 --> 01:01:57,029
But why the Rights of Man ?
467
01:01:57,933 --> 01:01:59,156
I am the King !
468
01:02:01,092 --> 01:02:04,241
How can one share what is abolute ?
469
01:02:15,583 --> 01:02:18,392
Your Majesty must not
underestimate the risk--
470
01:02:20,249 --> 01:02:26,145
This is why I summoned
the Regiment of Flanders to Versailles
471
01:02:30,938 --> 01:02:33,049
I know that I can count on them
472
01:02:39,639 --> 01:02:42,274
Governing is a serious matter
473
01:02:43,306 --> 01:02:47,904
To do it you have to find
a genuine balance of power...
474
01:02:48,024 --> 01:02:50,295
... between the executive
and the legislative
475
01:02:51,471 --> 01:02:55,907
That's why you defended the veto power ?
476
01:02:56,313 --> 01:03:00,259
Whether it's a king, a president
or something else, it doesn't matter
477
01:03:01,146 --> 01:03:06,800
An unlimited, all-powerful Assembly
will lead to disaster
478
01:03:08,046 --> 01:03:08,697
Why ?
479
01:03:09,014 --> 01:03:11,729
Because all the power
is concentrated there
480
01:03:12,395 --> 01:03:15,300
What's important is sovereignty
481
01:03:15,586 --> 01:03:18,979
It must be shared between
the King and the Assembly
482
01:03:20,814 --> 01:03:21,819
Impossible
483
01:03:22,941 --> 01:03:26,370
In that case, you'll create
an even worse dictatorship
484
01:03:30,207 --> 01:03:32,630
Excuse me - I'm expecting my confessor
485
01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:47,467
A little patience !
I'm nearly finished my work
486
01:03:51,458 --> 01:03:52,346
Kiss me !
487
01:03:57,672 --> 01:04:02,302
Gabriel-Honor� I'll give you 5 minutes -
not one more
488
01:04:26,124 --> 01:04:29,224
I've tried to make it
less uncompromising
489
01:04:30,314 --> 01:04:34,366
If you won't sign now,
there's nothing more I can do
490
01:04:40,445 --> 01:04:42,604
It's excellent, as always
491
01:04:43,587 --> 01:04:44,824
Let me sign
492
01:04:48,460 --> 01:04:50,841
As usual, you get what you want
493
01:04:51,492 --> 01:04:54,263
And you, at least, a decent meal
494
01:04:56,858 --> 01:04:59,287
You're a corruptor, Monsieur de Mirabeau
495
01:05:01,231 --> 01:05:06,074
If it gives you any comfort, look around
496
01:05:06,194 --> 01:05:09,088
Nothing in this house is paid for
497
01:05:12,427 --> 01:05:13,750
Except for you
498
01:05:16,204 --> 01:05:20,301
Even the servants
are worried about their wages
499
01:05:20,643 --> 01:05:22,080
How do you do it ?
500
01:05:22,373 --> 01:05:25,919
It's the art of keeping
6 balls in the air at once
501
01:05:26,532 --> 01:05:30,643
But two of them inevitably are your own
502
01:05:33,795 --> 01:05:35,828
Do you advise me
to go to confession ?
503
01:05:35,948 --> 01:05:37,384
Not necessarily
504
01:05:38,050 --> 01:05:41,145
I find I have a few extra matters
to attend to
505
01:06:06,049 --> 01:06:08,732
Gentlemen ! A toast : to the King !
506
01:06:13,728 --> 01:06:15,839
To Her Majesty the Queen !
507
01:06:37,540 --> 01:06:39,407
Please rise, gentlemen
508
01:06:42,318 --> 01:06:43,397
Thank you all
509
01:06:44,935 --> 01:06:47,881
I'm so happy
to find myself among friends
510
01:06:51,919 --> 01:06:54,975
We'll give our last drop of blood
for Your Majesty
511
01:07:14,410 --> 01:07:16,741
Wait your turn; there's enough for all !
512
01:07:40,534 --> 01:07:42,668
Are you alright ? Where do you live ?
513
01:07:45,185 --> 01:07:47,153
Look at me ! I want to help
514
01:07:49,887 --> 01:07:51,547
I haven't eaten for 3 days
515
01:08:05,865 --> 01:08:07,468
Down with the Assembly !
516
01:08:09,938 --> 01:08:11,559
And no more tricolors !
517
01:08:20,401 --> 01:08:23,401
Gentlemen - I'll never forget this !
518
01:08:27,417 --> 01:08:31,430
Once again,
the Austrian bitch is responsable...
519
01:08:32,843 --> 01:08:36,017
... for this court-orchestrated
counter-revolution
520
01:08:36,509 --> 01:08:38,709
Exclamation mark after revolution
521
01:08:39,839 --> 01:08:41,997
Marat has everything
on the Versailles banquet
522
01:08:45,696 --> 01:08:49,911
People of Paris,
the events at Versailles...
523
01:08:51,752 --> 01:08:54,053
... are an insult to Liberty
524
01:08:54,799 --> 01:08:56,308
I call for rebellion
525
01:09:00,466 --> 01:09:01,932
No... for insurrection
526
01:09:03,577 --> 01:09:04,752
That's better
527
01:09:07,992 --> 01:09:10,484
To arms ! To arms !
528
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:16,024
- "To arms" twice ?
- And again !
529
01:09:17,623 --> 01:09:18,903
It's for the paper ?
530
01:09:22,242 --> 01:09:24,020
For the greatest paper of all :
531
01:09:26,925 --> 01:09:28,184
The walls of Paris
532
01:10:41,749 --> 01:10:43,845
Bread ! Give us bread !
533
01:11:03,905 --> 01:11:06,072
If you refuse to march on Versailles...
534
01:11:06,192 --> 01:11:10,548
... to demand the King listen
to his people, then we will !
535
01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:15,531
We'll bring back the baker
and the baker's wife !
536
01:11:15,817 --> 01:11:17,391
And the baker's boy !
537
01:11:19,325 --> 01:11:20,610
To Versailles !
538
01:11:28,699 --> 01:11:30,325
An order from the Commune :
539
01:11:30,445 --> 01:11:32,990
You're to lead
the National Guard to Versailles
540
01:11:33,110 --> 01:11:35,062
To bring the King
and his family back to Paris
541
01:11:35,438 --> 01:11:38,105
We are the King's Guard,
not his jailors !
542
01:11:42,419 --> 01:11:46,340
The women of Paris are marching
to Versailles to demand bread !
543
01:11:46,959 --> 01:11:49,634
Let's march with them
as a matter of honor
544
01:11:49,754 --> 01:11:52,361
The cause that we've fought for
is lost...
545
01:11:52,481 --> 01:11:56,970
... if you won't show that you're ready
to fight for what you've won !
546
01:12:51,971 --> 01:12:55,018
Make way for the President
of the National Assembly !
547
01:13:10,550 --> 01:13:11,788
No more than four
548
01:13:14,867 --> 01:13:15,915
And no pikes
549
01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:20,696
That's enough !
550
01:13:49,798 --> 01:13:53,298
Ladies, welcome
551
01:13:54,346 --> 01:13:55,766
What can I do for you ?
552
01:13:55,886 --> 01:14:00,457
Your Majesty, these four women speak on
behalf of the women of Paris
553
01:14:00,577 --> 01:14:05,414
All Paris wishes to know Your Majesty's
attitude toward the Rights of Man, and--
554
01:14:05,807 --> 01:14:10,874
Perhaps His Majesty would prefer
to hear directly from these women
555
01:14:33,002 --> 01:14:34,177
Your Majesty...
556
01:14:37,955 --> 01:14:39,002
Bread...
557
01:14:45,965 --> 01:14:48,710
Well, Monsieur Mounier,
here we are in fresh difficulties
558
01:14:55,859 --> 01:14:56,738
Bread...
559
01:14:57,954 --> 01:14:58,890
Bread ?
560
01:14:59,859 --> 01:15:02,324
You will have bread ; I promise
561
01:15:08,417 --> 01:15:10,941
I beg you not to stay. Come with us
562
01:15:11,656 --> 01:15:13,925
I am the King ! I can't flee
563
01:15:14,175 --> 01:15:15,757
Is it better to be a prisoner ?
564
01:15:16,239 --> 01:15:17,699
At least you could try--
565
01:15:30,196 --> 01:15:32,980
The mob is blocking the stables ;
it is impossible to get out
566
01:15:35,162 --> 01:15:38,178
You see ? We thought we had some choice
567
01:15:38,495 --> 01:15:39,828
We were wrong
568
01:15:53,561 --> 01:15:55,053
Where are my glasses ?
569
01:15:55,794 --> 01:15:59,556
Please, Monsieur Mounier,
re-read your text aloud
570
01:16:00,905 --> 01:16:04,143
I accept purely and simply
the Articles of the Constitution...
571
01:16:04,429 --> 01:16:08,688
... and the Rights of Man as submitted
to me by the National Assembly
572
01:16:10,128 --> 01:16:11,888
Is that agreeable, Your Majesty ?
573
01:16:12,937 --> 01:16:14,778
Does that matter anymore ?
574
01:16:57,642 --> 01:17:00,434
As you can see, His Majesty has signed
575
01:17:04,175 --> 01:17:09,509
History will remember Your Majesty as
the greatest of France's kings
576
01:17:13,948 --> 01:17:16,109
Bread and flour
are on their way to Paris
577
01:17:19,329 --> 01:17:23,968
Perhaps it's time for everyone
to go home, Monsieur de Lafayette
578
01:17:27,928 --> 01:17:31,541
Sire, these gentlemen
are from the Paris Commune
579
01:17:33,754 --> 01:17:37,334
And what is it the people of Paris want ?
580
01:17:39,826 --> 01:17:44,572
They wish that the National Guard take
charge of the King's personal security
581
01:17:48,571 --> 01:17:51,431
You can arrange that,
Monsieur de Lafayette ?
582
01:17:53,475 --> 01:17:57,984
Also the removal of royal troops, whose
presence is an insult to the people
583
01:18:01,652 --> 01:18:02,804
Is that all ?
584
01:18:05,938 --> 01:18:10,694
The Parisians also demand
that the King return to Paris
585
01:18:12,789 --> 01:18:14,932
That requires some thought
586
01:18:18,676 --> 01:18:20,454
It's been a long day
587
01:18:22,676 --> 01:18:25,914
We will discuss this further
in the morning
588
01:18:31,644 --> 01:18:35,278
Good night, Monsieur
de Lafayette, gentlemen
589
01:18:49,915 --> 01:18:53,229
I beg Your Majesty to let me
stand guard outside your room
590
01:18:55,105 --> 01:18:57,359
No. The rumors
only aggravate their hatred
591
01:18:58,348 --> 01:19:02,539
Go to bed, Axel.
I'll try to do the same
592
01:19:16,124 --> 01:19:18,997
Versailles, October 6, 1789
593
01:19:37,324 --> 01:19:39,213
Hey, soldier ! How about a little fun ?
594
01:19:41,277 --> 01:19:42,658
Call the other one
595
01:20:06,816 --> 01:20:07,879
This way !
596
01:20:11,648 --> 01:20:12,535
Come on
597
01:20:14,918 --> 01:20:16,696
Let's wake up the fat pig !
598
01:20:39,791 --> 01:20:41,172
Hurry, Your Majesty !
599
01:20:59,946 --> 01:21:01,597
Open the door ! It's the Queen !
600
01:21:58,331 --> 01:22:00,307
What is to be done, Monsieur Deguisson ?
601
01:22:00,656 --> 01:22:01,794
Die, Your Majesty
602
01:22:22,405 --> 01:22:24,024
Forgive me, Your Majesty
603
01:22:25,500 --> 01:22:28,310
They gave me their word
there would be no further violence
604
01:22:29,649 --> 01:22:32,682
And you chose to believe them !
605
01:22:34,966 --> 01:22:37,413
Lafayette is on their side !
606
01:22:38,268 --> 01:22:41,590
He's making fun of you !
The King has fled
607
01:22:41,947 --> 01:22:44,185
Look ! There's no one there !
608
01:23:09,528 --> 01:23:12,030
Your Majesty must appear on the balcony
609
01:23:14,654 --> 01:23:16,494
If not, we cannot control them
610
01:23:18,479 --> 01:23:21,749
No, Louis, please don't go !
They'll kill you !
611
01:23:24,378 --> 01:23:26,301
I don't believe they wish to harm you
612
01:24:12,193 --> 01:24:13,606
The King to Paris !
613
01:24:43,197 --> 01:24:48,131
The King accepts.
Return to Paris and the King will follow
614
01:24:48,480 --> 01:24:51,432
He's lying ! If we leave, he'll flee !
615
01:24:51,972 --> 01:24:55,159
Marat is right ! We're not leaving !
616
01:24:59,919 --> 01:25:01,541
You have the King's promise !
617
01:25:01,661 --> 01:25:04,381
And the Austrian woman ? Where is she ?
618
01:25:04,501 --> 01:25:06,376
She's already fled !
619
01:25:06,649 --> 01:25:08,443
The Queen to the balcony !
620
01:25:26,265 --> 01:25:27,805
No, Your Majesty, I beg you !
621
01:25:45,635 --> 01:25:47,207
Not the children !
622
01:26:01,559 --> 01:26:02,472
Shoot her !
623
01:26:06,535 --> 01:26:08,328
Kill the whore !
624
01:26:31,242 --> 01:26:33,083
God save the Queen !
625
01:26:40,854 --> 01:26:42,394
June 1790
626
01:27:03,562 --> 01:27:06,336
Look, Papa !
Are they going to guard the King ?
627
01:27:06,844 --> 01:27:09,336
- Yes
- Is the King there right now ?
628
01:27:09,456 --> 01:27:12,954
He's always there - that's his house.
The Tuileries Palace
629
01:27:26,299 --> 01:27:29,552
I no longer could stand
the idea of hanging
630
01:27:29,672 --> 01:27:33,233
So my colleague Dr. Louis and I
came up with this machine
631
01:27:33,353 --> 01:27:36,677
The condemned is beheaded
by means of this simple mechanism
632
01:27:36,797 --> 01:27:38,304
It's practically painless
633
01:27:38,424 --> 01:27:41,216
Just a slight chill
on the back of the neck
634
01:27:41,709 --> 01:27:44,437
A minimum of suffering,
which everyone deserves
635
01:27:45,701 --> 01:27:49,186
It's clean, quick and efficient
636
01:28:04,773 --> 01:28:06,716
I'm very impressed, Monsieur Guillotin
637
01:28:07,884 --> 01:28:11,456
Perhaps... if I could make
a small suggestion ?
638
01:28:13,456 --> 01:28:15,811
I'm considered rather handy
with mechanical matters
639
01:28:15,931 --> 01:28:18,113
I'd be honored to have
Your Majesty's opinion
640
01:28:20,454 --> 01:28:21,946
The flaw is here
641
01:28:23,708 --> 01:28:29,112
Instead of being crescent-shaped
the blade would cut better...
642
01:28:30,874 --> 01:28:33,080
... if it were triangular
643
01:28:36,066 --> 01:28:40,426
And designed like a saw
644
01:28:44,558 --> 01:28:45,883
Marvellous, Sire !
645
01:28:52,811 --> 01:28:56,525
We ink the plate, close the press...
646
01:28:57,350 --> 01:28:59,811
... and the text is reproduced on paper
647
01:29:01,925 --> 01:29:03,369
Everything is done here
648
01:29:05,179 --> 01:29:09,893
And what I write is on the street
an hour after it's printed
649
01:29:10,607 --> 01:29:11,826
That's my office
650
01:29:16,382 --> 01:29:18,849
I'm very impressed Monsieur Desmoulins
651
01:29:18,969 --> 01:29:21,485
But do you have to be so violent ?
652
01:29:24,152 --> 01:29:29,272
Look : "The most practical method of
hanging aristocrats is on street lights"
653
01:29:32,618 --> 01:29:36,808
I'm stating a principle.
It doesn't have to be applied literally
654
01:29:50,023 --> 01:29:53,248
Provisional Member
of the Commune at your service !
655
01:30:00,942 --> 01:30:02,783
Georges, you were elected !
656
01:30:03,101 --> 01:30:06,973
It's a small beginning. But from this
day, your friends on the Committee...
657
01:30:07,093 --> 01:30:10,279
... can count on Danton to take decisions
658
01:30:11,402 --> 01:30:15,272
I invite everyone to the celebration
659
01:30:15,827 --> 01:30:18,922
I'm afraid we have an appointment. Lucie ?
660
01:30:19,430 --> 01:30:21,173
I'll come with you, Monsieur Danton
661
01:30:42,154 --> 01:30:46,877
Permit me to say that Your Majesty
is more beautiful than ever
662
01:30:53,218 --> 01:30:58,297
I'm sure you and the King enjoyed
your short visit to St-Cloud
663
01:31:00,003 --> 01:31:05,407
You know we practically had to beg
Monsieur Bailly and Lafayette...
664
01:31:05,677 --> 01:31:08,106
... to let us leave the Tuileries
665
01:31:08,226 --> 01:31:09,845
But you're not prisoners
666
01:31:11,738 --> 01:31:15,554
- What do you want ?
- For Your Majesty to trust me
667
01:31:15,674 --> 01:31:18,584
You ? One of the chief architects
of our problems ?
668
01:31:18,881 --> 01:31:23,138
Have you read the secret letters
I've sent to the King ?
669
01:31:24,566 --> 01:31:25,741
I've read them
670
01:31:25,861 --> 01:31:29,737
And you're still not convinced
that I wish to save the monarchy ?
671
01:31:30,074 --> 01:31:32,262
How can I believe you're sincere ?
672
01:31:32,627 --> 01:31:34,790
Denounce my presence here tonight
673
01:31:37,056 --> 01:31:40,278
So you're betraying both sides !
How splendid
674
01:31:46,232 --> 01:31:47,878
What do you recommend we do ?
675
01:31:47,998 --> 01:31:51,936
- Accept the Constitution
- In other words, our destruction
676
01:31:52,333 --> 01:31:55,174
- Your safeguard !
- You and your paradoxes !
677
01:31:56,317 --> 01:31:58,920
Madame, trust your people.
678
01:31:59,888 --> 01:32:03,308
Throw yourself in their arms ;
they will open their hearts to you
679
01:32:04,179 --> 01:32:07,529
The King will reign,
but through a constitution
680
01:32:10,806 --> 01:32:15,397
Believe me, there are many people
who would die to defend the crown
681
01:32:17,457 --> 01:32:22,150
When listening to you,
one can end up accepting the impossible
682
01:32:24,695 --> 01:32:28,358
I hope the Cordeliers district
will outdo themselves
683
01:32:28,791 --> 01:32:29,965
Grab a spade !
684
01:32:35,683 --> 01:32:38,286
I hope you won't be too tired tonight
685
01:32:40,435 --> 01:32:43,499
Promise. I love it
when you talk like that
686
01:33:43,944 --> 01:33:47,359
It's incredible ! So many people
who hated each other yesterday
687
01:33:47,849 --> 01:33:51,307
Now here they are celebrating
the first anniversary of the Revolution
688
01:33:53,675 --> 01:33:56,802
Everything has changed.
Our ways of thinking are new
689
01:33:58,247 --> 01:33:59,620
It's the dawn after the night
690
01:34:01,525 --> 01:34:03,366
Fraternity - at last !
691
01:34:11,485 --> 01:34:13,847
Your mother and I have been talking
692
01:34:16,945 --> 01:34:21,663
Camille, if you still wish to marry
our daughter, you have our blessing
693
01:34:37,262 --> 01:34:39,647
She'll have everything - I promise !
694
01:34:39,767 --> 01:34:42,720
I believe it ;
her dowry's 100,000 livres !
695
01:34:52,006 --> 01:34:54,847
Celebration of Federation - July 14, 1790
696
01:35:13,663 --> 01:35:17,377
My dear Robespierre,
there goes the hero of the Revolution
697
01:35:18,964 --> 01:35:20,340
But for how long ?
698
01:35:51,245 --> 01:35:55,443
I swear to be faithful to the nation...
699
01:35:56,396 --> 01:35:59,126
... to the law, and to the King
700
01:36:00,654 --> 01:36:04,620
To uphold the Constitution,
proclaimed by the National Assembly...
701
01:36:05,305 --> 01:36:07,134
... and accepted by the King
702
01:36:08,622 --> 01:36:13,640
To assure in accordance with the law,
the security of property and life
703
01:36:15,101 --> 01:36:19,288
I swear to remain united
to all the French people...
704
01:36:21,129 --> 01:36:25,224
... by the indissoluble
bonds of fraternity
705
01:36:40,493 --> 01:36:44,152
I ask all of you present...
706
01:36:45,469 --> 01:36:48,231
... assembled here
from all the provinces of France...
707
01:36:50,072 --> 01:36:51,923
... to take the same oath
708
01:36:53,717 --> 01:36:57,082
Repeat after me : "I swear"
709
01:37:13,680 --> 01:37:16,960
Look at them. They want to remain slaves
710
01:37:17,442 --> 01:37:20,280
And they will, if we're not vigilant
711
01:37:21,331 --> 01:37:27,064
People of France,
I ask you to listen in silence...
712
01:37:28,358 --> 01:37:33,834
... to the oath that the King
of the French will take before you
713
01:37:44,127 --> 01:37:46,151
I, King of the French...
714
01:37:47,802 --> 01:37:52,214
... swear to use all the powers
granted me by the law...
715
01:37:53,135 --> 01:37:57,254
... to uphold the Constitution
proclaimed by the National Assembly...
716
01:37:58,309 --> 01:37:59,862
and accepted by me
717
01:38:08,263 --> 01:38:12,676
My son and I
take the same oath as the King
718
01:38:14,152 --> 01:38:15,599
This is my son !
719
01:39:12,927 --> 01:39:15,078
Nancy, August 1790
720
01:39:20,348 --> 01:39:21,967
Long live the nation !
721
01:39:47,903 --> 01:39:52,010
What exactly was this mutiny
in the Nancy garrison ?
722
01:39:53,459 --> 01:39:57,767
This rebellion that Monsieur de Lafayette
was pleased to have put down...
723
01:39:57,887 --> 01:40:01,539
... by his cousin, the Marquis
and General de Bouyet
724
01:40:05,228 --> 01:40:06,550
What was their crime ?
725
01:40:07,688 --> 01:40:11,839
They dared to demand the miserable pay...
726
01:40:11,959 --> 01:40:16,140
... that their own officers
had robbed them of for months !
727
01:40:23,486 --> 01:40:26,477
These rebels rejected
corruption and theft
728
01:40:26,787 --> 01:40:30,843
They had faith in the justice
that the Revolution could not bring them
729
01:40:31,165 --> 01:40:33,055
What disappointment ! What bitterness !
730
01:40:33,942 --> 01:40:38,675
Remember one year ago, the women of
Paris went to Versailles to see the King
731
01:40:40,898 --> 01:40:43,958
What has changed since then ? Nothing !
732
01:40:44,342 --> 01:40:47,535
Still the same abuses,
the same tyranny. And why ?
733
01:40:47,834 --> 01:40:51,007
Because around the King is
the same clique, the same ministers...
734
01:40:51,127 --> 01:40:54,005
... who hide the truth
from him and deceive him !
735
01:40:58,971 --> 01:41:01,982
I speak for Paris,
and Paris demands their dismissal
736
01:41:02,314 --> 01:41:05,632
So you think you're Paris, sir ?
You alone ?
737
01:41:05,918 --> 01:41:09,260
Better than you, Abbot :
you take yourself for God
738
01:41:16,497 --> 01:41:21,235
Paris demands the dismissal
of the Minister of the Interior...
739
01:41:21,822 --> 01:41:23,457
... the Count de Saint-Prix
740
01:41:25,394 --> 01:41:28,361
The Minister of War,
Monsieur de la Tour du Pin
741
01:41:31,751 --> 01:41:33,470
Monsieur Champion de Cic�
742
01:42:08,692 --> 01:42:11,771
Paper ! I told you I wanted gold
743
01:42:12,406 --> 01:42:14,812
These are worth more
than their weight in gold
744
01:42:15,708 --> 01:42:19,574
You can exchange them
for confiscated Church property
745
01:42:21,915 --> 01:42:24,112
A fortune, whenever you want
746
01:42:24,661 --> 01:42:27,407
If you say so, Monmorat
747
01:42:28,653 --> 01:42:32,303
Whatever happens, your business
abroad is safe for the moment
748
01:42:35,462 --> 01:42:39,435
The Assembly is very happy
with the dismissal of your colleagues
749
01:42:40,990 --> 01:42:43,244
And you can assure His Majesty...
750
01:42:43,577 --> 01:42:47,911
... that I will continue to do
all in my power to help
751
01:42:51,007 --> 01:42:51,975
To France
752
01:43:07,873 --> 01:43:11,479
Here is the sacred object,
conquered in the heat of battle
753
01:43:13,690 --> 01:43:16,944
It has an inscription : "United for Life"
754
01:43:36,347 --> 01:43:37,823
As one of Camille's oldest friends...
755
01:43:40,394 --> 01:43:42,712
... I'd like to make the first toast
756
01:43:44,029 --> 01:43:45,307
To the bride
757
01:43:51,443 --> 01:43:55,389
I'm especially happy about this
marriage, which has permitted me...
758
01:43:55,665 --> 01:43:59,743
... to get to know the man
I admire most in public life
759
01:44:02,547 --> 01:44:07,610
If the Cordeliers are truly, as they are
called, the greatest patriots in Paris...
760
01:44:09,150 --> 01:44:10,880
... they owe it to you, sir
761
01:44:19,785 --> 01:44:24,610
To our friend Mirabeau,
who is too ill to be here today
762
01:44:25,911 --> 01:44:27,404
To his speedy recovery
763
01:44:31,145 --> 01:44:34,448
You know what they're saying about me ?
764
01:44:40,620 --> 01:44:42,255
That I'm dying...
765
01:44:43,509 --> 01:44:47,858
... just to avoid paying my debts !
766
01:44:51,127 --> 01:44:53,907
- Is it true ?
- Of course it is
767
01:44:55,476 --> 01:44:59,082
The sad thing is that you only die once
768
01:44:59,524 --> 01:45:01,435
For you, we'll make an exception
769
01:45:02,094 --> 01:45:06,479
The doctors don't know a thing ;
you'll play this scene many more times
770
01:45:14,646 --> 01:45:18,022
Excuse me. I didn't know you were busy
771
01:45:19,091 --> 01:45:20,345
I'll come back later
772
01:45:26,806 --> 01:45:28,608
It's no accident
773
01:45:29,862 --> 01:45:31,830
You two together...
774
01:45:33,258 --> 01:45:34,758
You two, united...
775
01:45:37,536 --> 01:45:43,171
I need to die knowing
that you two are allies
776
01:45:47,038 --> 01:45:51,062
If not, the last hope
of saving the monarchy...
777
01:45:51,506 --> 01:45:54,538
... will die with me
778
01:45:56,113 --> 01:46:00,717
Without the crown,
all that we've accomplished...
779
01:46:01,796 --> 01:46:06,463
... will slide into anarchy
780
01:46:09,654 --> 01:46:11,467
And you both know it
781
01:46:13,480 --> 01:46:18,364
As long as I live, the crown will be safe
782
01:46:20,364 --> 01:46:22,443
And the country
will not slide into anarchy
783
01:46:24,491 --> 01:46:25,935
I can promise you that
784
01:46:26,268 --> 01:46:30,093
Because this country will be
a military dictatorship led by you
785
01:46:30,911 --> 01:46:33,402
That's what you want - everyone knows it
786
01:46:35,277 --> 01:46:37,816
Monsieur Danton's aspirations are well-known
787
01:46:39,070 --> 01:46:41,317
I will not lower myself to discuss this
788
01:46:41,437 --> 01:46:43,778
Monsieur Danton's only ambition...
789
01:46:44,413 --> 01:46:48,603
... is to have civilian control
over a constitutional monarchy
790
01:46:50,103 --> 01:46:55,206
And especially over ambitious generals
who exceed their bounds
791
01:46:58,611 --> 01:47:03,936
By "civilian control" you mean
a government which closes its eyes...
792
01:47:04,056 --> 01:47:08,800
... to the corruption and profiteers
you've chosen to run it
793
01:47:15,653 --> 01:47:21,156
I didn't ask you to come here
to bore me to death...
794
01:47:22,311 --> 01:47:24,834
... with your stupid quarrels !
795
01:47:31,158 --> 01:47:32,761
Death is already here
796
01:47:35,221 --> 01:47:36,840
It requires calm
797
01:47:38,967 --> 01:47:41,150
The only thing I ask...
798
01:47:42,213 --> 01:47:45,737
... is that you try to work together
799
01:47:50,142 --> 01:47:51,944
That's my last wish
800
01:47:58,055 --> 01:48:00,102
I can't do any more
801
01:48:08,571 --> 01:48:12,493
Look, Monsieur de Fersen ;
how well this hairstyle suits my daughter
802
01:48:15,351 --> 01:48:17,470
Madame, you are as pretty as an angel
803
01:48:21,618 --> 01:48:24,030
Come dear, let's go find your brother
804
01:48:34,564 --> 01:48:37,294
My dear, what would I do without you ?
805
01:48:42,557 --> 01:48:45,065
Monsieur de Bouill�
will meet the King at Montm�dy
806
01:48:45,185 --> 01:48:48,367
He is sure of his troops
who'll provide your security
807
01:48:48,487 --> 01:48:49,843
Why Montm�dy ?
808
01:48:50,780 --> 01:48:53,353
It's still in France.
It's a strong old fort
809
01:48:54,271 --> 01:48:56,160
Once there, the Emperor can help you
810
01:48:57,160 --> 01:48:58,906
You must convince the King
811
01:48:59,731 --> 01:49:02,747
You know the poor man
changes his mind three times a day !
812
01:49:06,457 --> 01:49:09,267
To leave - and you'll follow me
813
01:49:19,411 --> 01:49:22,662
To refuse would have ignited France
814
01:49:24,125 --> 01:49:26,926
His Holiness cannot
tolerate that bishops...
815
01:49:28,624 --> 01:49:32,942
... should be elected
like delegates to the Assembly
816
01:49:36,267 --> 01:49:39,601
But what makes
His Holiness deeply unhappy...
817
01:49:41,585 --> 01:49:46,533
... is that this law obliges priests
to take an oath to the constitution
818
01:49:49,230 --> 01:49:53,020
That can only lead
to a sort of schism...
819
01:49:53,484 --> 01:49:58,538
... like when Henry VIII of England
broke with Rome
820
01:49:59,128 --> 01:50:00,652
I am not Henry VIII !
821
01:50:03,334 --> 01:50:06,636
I am the most obedient
of the Holy Father's sons
822
01:50:08,104 --> 01:50:10,818
His Holiness demands that Your Majesty...
823
01:50:10,938 --> 01:50:13,993
... renounce the civil constitution
for the clergy
824
01:50:14,113 --> 01:50:15,174
It's too late !
825
01:50:24,946 --> 01:50:26,924
Does the Holy Father wish to destroy me ?
826
01:50:30,081 --> 01:50:36,335
His Holiness will never authorize
the priests of France to take this oath
827
01:50:38,399 --> 01:50:41,834
It's the only way
I could keep the French Church united...
828
01:50:41,954 --> 01:50:43,487
... in obedience to Rome
829
01:50:54,856 --> 01:50:58,756
Assure the Holy Father
of my personal loyalty
830
01:51:08,882 --> 01:51:11,567
I swear I will receive Holy Communion...
831
01:51:11,687 --> 01:51:14,614
... only from the hands
of priests faithful to Rome
832
01:51:16,646 --> 01:51:18,011
I will tell him
833
01:51:21,042 --> 01:51:23,994
Now sir, will you give me your blessing ?
834
01:51:46,359 --> 01:51:49,021
The King manipulates
them all - even Danton
835
01:51:52,828 --> 01:51:55,092
- Even me
- What do you mean ?
836
01:51:55,212 --> 01:51:56,475
Write this down
837
01:52:05,282 --> 01:52:10,550
Louis XVI has betrayed the Revolution
through his loyalty to Rome
838
01:53:04,634 --> 01:53:07,511
I baptise you
in the name of the people !
839
01:53:14,307 --> 01:53:15,940
June 21, 1791
840
01:53:23,607 --> 01:53:26,115
General, the King is gone
841
01:53:27,750 --> 01:53:30,473
- Gone where ?
- He's fled with the Royal Family
842
01:53:33,544 --> 01:53:34,672
"To Let"
843
01:53:46,544 --> 01:53:48,052
You let fat Louis slip away !
844
01:53:48,172 --> 01:53:49,673
And his Austrian whore !
845
01:54:14,144 --> 01:54:16,557
You staked your head on the King
846
01:54:16,851 --> 01:54:19,530
The people want the King or your head
847
01:54:29,241 --> 01:54:30,614
How could it happen ?
848
01:54:34,718 --> 01:54:36,432
If they cross the border...
849
01:54:39,734 --> 01:54:44,003
They'll return at the head of an army
of expatriots and it will be civil war
850
01:54:45,051 --> 01:54:47,632
Do you think we can arrest them
in the name of public security ?
851
01:54:48,347 --> 01:54:51,779
We have no choice.
But who will take the responsibility ?
852
01:54:52,553 --> 01:54:55,425
The Assembly meets at 2:00,
and we must act at once
853
01:55:03,177 --> 01:55:04,463
Take this down :
854
01:55:11,495 --> 01:55:15,129
"The enemies of the Revolution
have abducted the King"
855
01:55:16,225 --> 01:55:18,545
No one has abducted the King
856
01:55:19,643 --> 01:55:21,214
What do you want, Bailly ?
857
01:55:21,849 --> 01:55:24,706
A republic ? The loss of the King ?
858
01:55:30,445 --> 01:55:33,013
"The enemies of the Revolution
have abducted the King
859
01:55:36,175 --> 01:55:41,481
"The bearer of this message is instructed
to advise all loyal citizens...
860
01:55:43,392 --> 01:55:45,797
"... in the name of
the nation in danger...
861
01:55:47,289 --> 01:55:52,654
"... to rescue him and bring him back
safely to the National Assembly
862
01:55:57,126 --> 01:56:01,666
"I take full responsibility
for these orders"
863
01:56:02,849 --> 01:56:04,150
Let me sign it
864
01:56:31,153 --> 01:56:33,269
Look - he gave me a gold louis
865
01:56:35,915 --> 01:56:36,931
Who was it ?
866
01:56:37,596 --> 01:56:40,367
I don't know. He's travelling
with his children and servants
867
01:56:40,487 --> 01:56:41,759
What did he want ?
868
01:56:43,120 --> 01:56:44,422
The road to Varennes
869
01:56:44,945 --> 01:56:49,213
He gave you a louis for directions ?
He's crazy !
870
01:57:12,422 --> 01:57:15,110
Maxime, the Assembly
has confirmed Lafayette's order ?
871
01:57:16,612 --> 01:57:17,940
What else could they do ?
872
01:57:20,155 --> 01:57:22,028
I can't oppose the majority
873
01:57:22,441 --> 01:57:24,377
You have to tell the truth !
874
01:57:24,497 --> 01:57:26,973
Who's going to believe
this so-called abduction ?
875
01:57:29,612 --> 01:57:32,022
It's an interesting use of the word
876
01:57:34,539 --> 01:57:37,336
Two years of work, destroyed by this...
877
01:57:39,244 --> 01:57:40,483
... conspiracy
878
01:57:41,404 --> 01:57:44,328
- And I can't tell you everything
- Tell me ! I'll write it down
879
01:57:49,727 --> 01:57:53,812
Be careful, Camille.
Be especially careful what you write
880
01:57:55,719 --> 01:57:58,343
- Today we're all in danger
- Why today ?
881
01:57:58,463 --> 01:57:59,594
More than ever
882
01:58:01,676 --> 01:58:06,157
The King didn't take this risk without
powerful support in Paris and elsewhere
883
01:58:08,492 --> 01:58:09,493
Traitors !
884
01:58:26,190 --> 01:58:27,398
Where is Drouet ?
885
01:58:32,034 --> 01:58:33,942
Is that any way to treat a horse ?
886
01:58:34,752 --> 01:58:37,431
There's no time to lose : from Lafayette
887
01:58:37,772 --> 01:58:39,496
He was too tired to go on
888
01:58:42,763 --> 01:58:44,098
Have you see them ?
889
01:58:54,911 --> 01:58:56,203
What's happening ?
890
01:59:03,287 --> 01:59:05,448
- Where are you going ?
- To Frankfurt
891
01:59:05,703 --> 01:59:07,149
This isn't the way
892
01:59:08,484 --> 01:59:11,726
I'm public prosecutor of the Varennes
Commune. Your passports
893
01:59:19,649 --> 01:59:22,518
Follow me. Don't let anyone leave
894
01:59:52,686 --> 01:59:55,576
Citizen Drouet, I'm sorry,
but this passport is in order
895
01:59:56,516 --> 01:59:58,249
It's even signed by the King
896
02:00:03,494 --> 02:00:07,242
If you let them go, you'll be guilty
of a crime - and treason
897
02:00:14,379 --> 02:00:16,859
- What should we do ?
- We have to tell Monsieur Bouill�
898
02:00:43,959 --> 02:00:47,407
I'm just a humble grocer,
but it's clean
899
02:01:14,530 --> 02:01:16,612
Good evening, Sire
900
02:01:18,376 --> 02:01:24,466
Louis Capet ;
Louis XVI no longer exists !
901
02:01:25,038 --> 02:01:28,217
Louis Capet must be
stripped of his useless title
902
02:01:28,614 --> 02:01:31,729
He must be the last king of France
903
02:01:39,411 --> 02:01:41,074
No more half-measures !
904
02:01:41,652 --> 02:01:47,062
No more compromise before
the Assembly's indecision and hypocrisy !
905
02:01:50,771 --> 02:01:54,241
The Cordeliers demand
the end of monarchy
906
02:01:55,247 --> 02:01:59,514
And that France
be henceforth a republic !
907
02:02:05,461 --> 02:02:08,656
I propose a petition be set up...
908
02:02:08,776 --> 02:02:11,533
... outside the H�tel de la Nation
on the Champ de Mars...
909
02:02:12,248 --> 02:02:14,504
... for the French people to sign
910
02:02:28,175 --> 02:02:34,547
I'm informed that irresponsible
member of the Cordeliers...
911
02:02:36,027 --> 02:02:39,447
... intend to march to the
Champ de Mars to demand a republic
912
02:02:51,284 --> 02:02:55,013
I ask that the Assembly
declare martial law...
913
02:02:56,030 --> 02:02:58,558
... to disperse all illegal assemblies
914
02:03:04,372 --> 02:03:06,152
Are you going to the Champs de Mars ?
915
02:03:06,272 --> 02:03:08,714
No, I have business
to take care of in the country
916
02:03:10,893 --> 02:03:12,376
I think you're very clever
917
02:03:15,312 --> 02:03:18,962
The last storm has damaged my roof
918
02:03:20,557 --> 02:03:22,320
We all have our storms to weather
919
02:03:22,877 --> 02:03:24,249
What does that mean ?
920
02:03:25,563 --> 02:03:28,165
I've always argued
for replacing the King
921
02:03:28,455 --> 02:03:30,617
By all constitutional means, I know
922
02:03:31,698 --> 02:03:36,187
But now that your supporters demand a
republic, you leave for the countryside
923
02:03:36,494 --> 02:03:40,133
- You have a problem with that ?
- No. It's very reasonable
924
02:03:41,421 --> 02:03:46,766
I've recently wished that Camille
wouldn't call so violently...
925
02:03:46,886 --> 02:03:48,473
... for the overthrow of the King
926
02:03:48,775 --> 02:03:53,732
I'm surprised ; you've argued so strongly
for trying the King before the Tribunal
927
02:03:55,881 --> 02:04:00,040
The Assembly did not agree.
I accept the will of the majority
928
02:04:04,035 --> 02:04:07,434
But good God, where do you stand ?
929
02:04:11,038 --> 02:04:13,486
The republic - what does it mean to you ?
930
02:04:20,040 --> 02:04:23,521
One could just as easily speak
of a republican monarchy...
931
02:04:24,415 --> 02:04:26,262
... as of a monarchical republic
932
02:04:26,382 --> 02:04:28,618
I remember my courses
in constitutional law
933
02:04:29,215 --> 02:04:32,748
France is both a monarchy and a republic
934
02:04:34,041 --> 02:04:37,570
That's the constitution
we've created the last two years
935
02:04:38,348 --> 02:04:40,828
We live in an imperfect world
936
02:04:42,481 --> 02:04:47,479
To advance the Revolution we need a King
937
02:04:51,103 --> 02:04:53,653
But we mustn't ask for too much
938
02:04:57,742 --> 02:05:00,829
Because seeking perfection
is asking too much ?
939
02:05:02,177 --> 02:05:03,448
You don't think so ?
940
02:05:05,262 --> 02:05:08,091
I believe that it's the purpose of life
941
02:05:11,238 --> 02:05:14,153
You have the authority ;
martial law has been declared
942
02:05:14,410 --> 02:05:16,302
This demonstration is illegal
943
02:05:16,651 --> 02:05:19,942
Your duty is plain, General :
put an end to it
944
02:05:31,637 --> 02:05:33,671
July 17, 1791
945
02:05:51,310 --> 02:05:52,772
The National Guard !
946
02:06:32,854 --> 02:06:37,558
In the name of the National Assembly,
I order you to disperse
947
02:06:49,150 --> 02:06:50,133
Let him go
948
02:06:55,807 --> 02:06:57,412
Disperse peacefully
949
02:06:58,986 --> 02:07:01,332
You know me ; you can trust me
950
02:07:01,920 --> 02:07:04,177
Join us, Lafayette !
951
02:07:05,131 --> 02:07:07,452
Then we'll trust you !
952
02:07:09,211 --> 02:07:10,912
Don't make me use force
953
02:07:11,516 --> 02:07:14,186
Traitor ! You wouldn't dare !
954
02:07:19,081 --> 02:07:20,146
Ready !
955
02:07:23,102 --> 02:07:23,849
Aim !
956
02:07:29,842 --> 02:07:30,758
Over their heads--
957
02:07:32,745 --> 02:07:33,587
Fire !
958
02:07:36,305 --> 02:07:39,232
It's to scare us ! They're firing blanks !
959
02:07:48,413 --> 02:07:49,333
Aim !
960
02:07:56,649 --> 02:07:59,049
Soldiers ! You're citizens like us !
961
02:07:59,685 --> 02:08:03,147
You can't fire on unarmed people !
Your brothers !
962
02:08:10,581 --> 02:08:11,393
Fire !
963
02:08:14,011 --> 02:08:15,510
Stop ! Cease fire !
964
02:08:45,391 --> 02:08:48,093
Maxime ! They want to kill us all !
965
02:09:09,297 --> 02:09:13,737
Monsieur Robespierre, if you'll take
refuge in my house I'd be very honored
966
02:09:14,049 --> 02:09:15,214
Monsieur...
967
02:09:17,693 --> 02:09:20,248
Duplay... Maurice Duplay
968
02:09:22,621 --> 02:09:26,716
I respect you greatly and am a member
of the Jacobin Club, like you
969
02:09:27,993 --> 02:09:29,074
Thank you
970
02:09:31,740 --> 02:09:34,131
- I have a dog in my apartment
- I'll go, later
971
02:09:53,638 --> 02:09:54,624
The sewers
972
02:10:14,400 --> 02:10:15,862
London
Winter 1791
973
02:10:30,801 --> 02:10:32,803
Jean-Paul, you have a visitor
974
02:10:41,993 --> 02:10:43,599
They said you were sick
975
02:10:45,772 --> 02:10:47,524
A little gift from the sewers
976
02:10:48,363 --> 02:10:50,572
I should have left faster, like you
977
02:10:51,987 --> 02:10:53,732
- May I ?
- Please
978
02:11:01,827 --> 02:11:03,449
Any news from Paris ?
979
02:11:06,359 --> 02:11:09,300
Desmoulins has gone
to live in the country
980
02:11:10,889 --> 02:11:13,986
His paper banned, his press smashed up
981
02:11:14,106 --> 02:11:16,510
He has no reason to go back
982
02:11:18,337 --> 02:11:20,165
Rosbespierre is no longer a Deputy
983
02:11:21,164 --> 02:11:24,327
There was only one mistake
he couldn't make and he made it
984
02:11:25,026 --> 02:11:28,094
His decree forbidding him
to run again for the Legislature
985
02:11:28,380 --> 02:11:29,241
I know
986
02:11:30,144 --> 02:11:34,095
A general amnesty has been declared.
Do you plan to go back ?
987
02:11:35,352 --> 02:11:40,193
I'll go back when it's useful.
For now the King is working for us
988
02:11:41,010 --> 02:11:45,123
He's using his veto to protect
the emigr�s and dissident priests
989
02:11:45,711 --> 02:11:47,592
He's turning the country against him
990
02:11:49,113 --> 02:11:51,820
Maybe the country
but not the rest of Europe
991
02:11:52,176 --> 02:11:54,107
There's a real threat of invasion
992
02:11:54,227 --> 02:11:58,836
The Revolution is a danger
for crowned heads everywhere
993
02:12:00,743 --> 02:12:02,396
I hope that's the case
994
02:12:04,571 --> 02:12:06,805
We're in no condition to wage war
995
02:12:08,353 --> 02:12:12,184
And however it ends,
it will only help the King
996
02:12:13,889 --> 02:12:15,291
What do you propose ?
997
02:12:18,689 --> 02:12:19,960
Go back to Paris
998
02:12:21,136 --> 02:12:23,938
We can be more useful over there
999
02:12:25,813 --> 02:12:26,751
In Paris
1000
02:12:30,121 --> 02:12:31,964
To argue compromise ?
1001
02:12:33,633 --> 02:12:35,670
No : to get guarantees
1002
02:12:37,155 --> 02:12:39,396
I have no need of guarantees, Danton
1003
02:12:40,970 --> 02:12:43,467
But I have less to lose than you
1004
02:12:45,496 --> 02:12:47,118
That's your opinion
1005
02:12:50,463 --> 02:12:52,659
We have nothing to fear from war
1006
02:12:53,191 --> 02:12:57,603
Through it we will purge France
of the despotism that suffocates her
1007
02:12:58,738 --> 02:13:02,986
Do you hope with one blow to destroy
the aristocracy ? Rebellious priests ?
1008
02:13:03,580 --> 02:13:05,705
All who oppose the Revolution ?
1009
02:13:07,712 --> 02:13:12,111
We must destroy the army of emigr�s
gathered at Koblentz while we talk
1010
02:13:13,086 --> 02:13:16,678
Only when we've crushed
all hope of outside help...
1011
02:13:16,996 --> 02:13:21,680
... will the King be forced to govern
according to the Constitution
1012
02:13:27,663 --> 02:13:29,213
War is not a solution
1013
02:13:29,873 --> 02:13:32,461
Listen to me, Brissot,
and all you Girondins
1014
02:13:33,176 --> 02:13:36,749
To use this tribunal
to declare war is intolerable
1015
02:13:38,094 --> 02:13:41,553
All offensive war
is by its nature counter-revolutionary
1016
02:13:41,909 --> 02:13:45,278
Have you so little confidence
in the revolutionary cause ?
1017
02:13:45,692 --> 02:13:49,662
It is not enough for one people
to invade another people's land...
1018
02:13:50,253 --> 02:13:52,383
... to make them adopt
their law and constitution
1019
02:13:52,503 --> 02:13:55,482
The people of Europe wait for us !
1020
02:13:57,596 --> 02:13:59,396
Nobody loves armed missionaries !
1021
02:14:01,859 --> 02:14:03,563
Gentlemen, the King !
1022
02:14:29,561 --> 02:14:34,519
Gentlemen, you know the results of my
negotiations with the Viennese court
1023
02:14:36,253 --> 02:14:40,039
The conclusions have been
unanimously approved by my council
1024
02:14:42,004 --> 02:14:44,112
They are in line with your wishes...
1025
02:14:45,081 --> 02:14:50,263
... and the opinions of many citizens
throughout the kingdom
1026
02:14:53,288 --> 02:14:59,296
All refuse to see the dignity of the
people of France insulted any longer
1027
02:15:01,632 --> 02:15:06,774
As was my duty,
I've done my best to keep the peace
1028
02:15:09,439 --> 02:15:15,192
But I come here today,
in accordance with the Constitution...
1029
02:15:18,489 --> 02:15:21,684
... to propose a declaration of war
1030
02:15:35,278 --> 02:15:39,393
There will be no mercy for the leaders
of the Revolution if we lose the war
1031
02:15:41,452 --> 02:15:44,370
Even for those
who tried to save the monarchy
1032
02:15:49,345 --> 02:15:50,776
Don't go back to Paris
1033
02:15:51,555 --> 02:15:53,097
Gabrielle, I have to
1034
02:15:54,813 --> 02:15:55,989
Come back soon
1035
02:15:58,378 --> 02:16:01,764
I promise.
But if things go wrong don't wait
1036
02:16:02,956 --> 02:16:05,463
Go straight to England.
You know where our money is there.
1037
02:16:12,917 --> 02:16:14,043
Be careful
1038
02:16:22,642 --> 02:16:23,913
Belgian frontier
1039
02:16:24,342 --> 02:16:25,646
April 28, 1792
1040
02:18:08,024 --> 02:18:09,695
That's a first lesson
1041
02:18:11,793 --> 02:18:13,907
There will be plenty of others
1042
02:18:23,784 --> 02:18:26,963
General Dillon was killed
by his own men after the defeat
1043
02:18:30,533 --> 02:18:31,518
A general !
1044
02:18:34,555 --> 02:18:36,558
What have your ministers decided ?
1045
02:18:37,480 --> 02:18:38,354
Tell me !
1046
02:18:40,335 --> 02:18:41,240
I can't
1047
02:18:43,370 --> 02:18:45,205
I can't. Please
1048
02:18:55,731 --> 02:18:59,498
Our enemies are in France ;
our friends outside
1049
02:19:00,928 --> 02:19:03,179
I'm writing to my nephew,
the Emperor Franz
1050
02:19:03,749 --> 02:19:05,847
What has your Council decided ?
1051
02:19:07,739 --> 02:19:09,200
You must tell me !
1052
02:19:10,774 --> 02:19:12,571
A thousand ! Two thousand !
1053
02:19:13,206 --> 02:19:16,910
Ten thousand heads
must fall here in France !
1054
02:19:17,666 --> 02:19:21,258
It's a trifle compared to
the thousands of good citizens...
1055
02:19:21,378 --> 02:19:25,988
... sacrificed on the field of battle
by the traitors among us !
1056
02:19:28,210 --> 02:19:33,569
The greatest of these traitors
is Louis Capet, with his Austrian spy...
1057
02:19:34,297 --> 02:19:39,633
With his valet, Lafayette, who still
dares to give orders to the Assembly
1058
02:19:41,444 --> 02:19:46,687
Do we want a military dictatorship
because of the fancies of a king...
1059
02:19:47,229 --> 02:19:52,478
... who still uses his veto
against the security of the nation ?
1060
02:20:00,131 --> 02:20:01,210
June 20, 1792
1061
02:20:15,457 --> 02:20:16,533
Checkmate
1062
02:20:27,586 --> 02:20:29,037
Bring the cannon through !
1063
02:21:00,440 --> 02:21:01,917
What can I do for you ?
1064
02:21:02,037 --> 02:21:03,467
We want to speak to the King
1065
02:21:04,596 --> 02:21:07,861
- I'll see if he can receive you
- You go ask him - on your knees !
1066
02:21:28,182 --> 02:21:29,898
A nice sty for a pig !
1067
02:21:40,539 --> 02:21:41,888
What can I do for you ?
1068
02:21:42,176 --> 02:21:44,871
The nation pays you
24 million a year to listen to us
1069
02:21:45,621 --> 02:21:47,063
But I am listening to you
1070
02:21:47,401 --> 02:21:49,785
You've fooled us before ;
you won't do it again
1071
02:21:50,627 --> 02:21:53,776
But watch out, because
the people mean business
1072
02:21:55,464 --> 02:21:57,912
We demand you withdraw your veto
1073
02:22:01,599 --> 02:22:06,026
I did what the constitution
required me to do
1074
02:22:06,146 --> 02:22:08,309
Withdraw your veto
or I'll slice you in half !
1075
02:22:11,090 --> 02:22:12,743
I'm not afraid to die
1076
02:22:14,730 --> 02:22:16,510
I received the Sacraments this morning
1077
02:22:16,816 --> 02:22:19,045
Dying is the best service
you could do your country
1078
02:22:19,693 --> 02:22:23,460
Our nation has
no better friend than I, sir
1079
02:22:24,588 --> 02:22:25,526
Prove it !
1080
02:22:27,982 --> 02:22:31,477
If you're with the nation,
put on the patriot's cap
1081
02:22:33,529 --> 02:22:34,414
Gladly
1082
02:22:44,965 --> 02:22:46,665
Let the Mayor of Paris through !
1083
02:23:01,378 --> 02:23:04,064
Sire, I'm sorry. I found out too late
1084
02:23:05,415 --> 02:23:08,421
You know who you
remind me of, Monsieur P�tion ?
1085
02:23:10,815 --> 02:23:12,166
Monsieur de Lafayette
1086
02:23:14,057 --> 02:23:19,837
If the slightest violence is done
to the King and the Royal Family
1087
02:23:21,930 --> 02:23:24,648
If their freedom and security
are not guaranteed...
1088
02:23:25,983 --> 02:23:31,894
... their Imperial Majesties will exact a
revenge which will never be forgotten
1089
02:23:34,055 --> 02:23:38,754
Paris will be given
to total military execution...
1090
02:23:40,280 --> 02:23:44,317
... and the guilty rebels
the torture they deserve
1091
02:23:52,971 --> 02:23:57,903
Count Fersen, let's hope
our warning has the intended effect
1092
02:24:10,179 --> 02:24:13,151
This document is signed
by the Duke of Brunswick himself
1093
02:24:13,659 --> 02:24:15,614
The Commanding General
of the Prussian army
1094
02:24:18,669 --> 02:24:20,928
Brunswick, who marches on Paris !
1095
02:24:23,406 --> 02:24:25,843
Brunswick, who dares to threaten us !
1096
02:24:28,845 --> 02:24:31,620
Brunswick will have
no response to his arrogance
1097
02:24:32,247 --> 02:24:36,586
France will deal him
the most humiliating defeat
1098
02:24:38,971 --> 02:24:43,204
I propose that the Assembly
declare the homeland in danger
1099
02:24:43,324 --> 02:24:46,059
To arms, citizens ! To arms, free men !
1100
02:24:46,409 --> 02:24:48,165
Defend our freedom !
1101
02:25:38,184 --> 02:25:41,272
- What are you whistling there ?
- I can sing it, too
1102
02:25:53,251 --> 02:25:54,561
Where did you learn that ?
1103
02:25:55,270 --> 02:25:57,977
At Strasburg. A carpenter was singing it
1104
02:27:20,693 --> 02:27:22,622
I admit I was against this war
1105
02:27:24,253 --> 02:27:26,637
I believed it could not serve
the cause of Liberty
1106
02:27:27,535 --> 02:27:29,160
But now it must
1107
02:27:30,444 --> 02:27:34,527
I believed this country wasn't ready for
victory, and until today I was right
1108
02:27:35,673 --> 02:27:37,263
We no longer have a choice
1109
02:27:37,930 --> 02:27:40,374
We must have victory and we will
1110
02:27:46,019 --> 02:27:49,067
But we will not crush our enemies...
1111
02:27:50,832 --> 02:27:53,867
... before we destroy those within
1112
02:28:01,605 --> 02:28:03,232
So now you agree with Marat ?
1113
02:28:03,910 --> 02:28:09,394
Not totally. Marat wants to replace the
King with a revolutionary dictatorship
1114
02:28:10,119 --> 02:28:11,566
That's not a solution
1115
02:28:12,742 --> 02:28:16,610
Tyranny is the same, whether
exercised by a man wearing a crown...
1116
02:28:17,446 --> 02:28:20,725
... or 700 others wearing the tricolor
1117
02:28:27,270 --> 02:28:28,860
Then, what do you suggest ?
1118
02:28:29,972 --> 02:28:31,532
I have faith in the Constitution.
1119
02:28:32,549 --> 02:28:36,027
It's not perfect, but
it contains the makings of perfection
1120
02:28:37,683 --> 02:28:40,567
I wish for the election
of a new National Convention...
1121
02:28:40,862 --> 02:28:44,911
... based on the principles
the Assembly has lost sight of
1122
02:28:45,994 --> 02:28:49,383
Basically, you want to get rid
of those friendly to the King :
1123
02:28:50,412 --> 02:28:54,335
Those we permitted to put him
back on the throne after Varennes
1124
02:28:57,117 --> 02:28:58,992
Don't underestimate them
1125
02:28:59,278 --> 02:29:03,697
Lafayette would be only too happy to
finish what began on the Champs de Mars
1126
02:29:04,002 --> 02:29:06,013
And I'd be only too happy...
1127
02:29:10,458 --> 02:29:14,290
... to have the chance
to finish Lafayette
1128
02:29:33,093 --> 02:29:34,619
Is Marseilles beautiful ?
1129
02:29:36,438 --> 02:29:39,086
As beautiful as Paris with sea thrown in
1130
02:29:39,206 --> 02:29:40,342
And sunny !
1131
02:29:57,895 --> 02:30:00,694
Men of Marseilles, have you drunk well ?
1132
02:30:01,981 --> 02:30:03,428
Have you eaten well ?
1133
02:30:04,599 --> 02:30:06,501
Are you ready to serve Paris ?
1134
02:30:07,942 --> 02:30:10,212
Because Paris is counting on you !
1135
02:30:14,199 --> 02:30:15,679
August 10, 1792
1136
02:30:17,238 --> 02:30:19,730
- Take this
- I don't know how to use it
1137
02:30:20,310 --> 02:30:22,042
Then I'll shoot for both of us
1138
02:30:27,002 --> 02:30:28,717
- Be careful
- Don't worry
1139
02:30:29,983 --> 02:30:31,089
I'm so scared
1140
02:30:31,496 --> 02:30:33,442
Everything will be settled by dawn
1141
02:30:34,235 --> 02:30:37,110
It's time to set up our own Commune
1142
02:30:44,357 --> 02:30:45,971
The unrest is spreading across Paris
1143
02:30:46,627 --> 02:30:50,217
I propose that the guard
at the Tuileries be doubled
1144
02:30:52,603 --> 02:30:55,479
Other measures
should follow, in particular--
1145
02:31:00,174 --> 02:31:02,420
Citizens, the Commune is dissolved
1146
02:31:02,540 --> 02:31:04,244
I protest this intrusion
1147
02:31:04,517 --> 02:31:06,128
I register your protest
1148
02:31:08,194 --> 02:31:11,275
- As President of the Council...
- Let me advise the Council
1149
02:31:11,755 --> 02:31:12,960
Get out, quickly
1150
02:31:18,731 --> 02:31:20,305
Don't make any problems
1151
02:31:25,716 --> 02:31:27,169
You have five minutes
1152
02:31:32,867 --> 02:31:35,858
I believe my duty is to avoid bloodshed
1153
02:31:38,724 --> 02:31:46,535
Tomorrow we will resume the discussions
entrusted us by the Paris electorate
1154
02:31:47,174 --> 02:31:48,461
Don't count on it
1155
02:31:57,972 --> 02:31:59,591
Take the Presidency, Danton
1156
02:32:01,749 --> 02:32:05,156
No, we'll proceed with proper elections
1157
02:32:05,910 --> 02:32:07,277
Where is H�bert ?
1158
02:32:09,754 --> 02:32:12,129
You will preside for the interim
1159
02:32:12,736 --> 02:32:15,332
Check the mandates
of the delegates who are here
1160
02:32:16,111 --> 02:32:19,959
I believe you'll need
a secretary : Taillant, sit here
1161
02:32:22,234 --> 02:32:26,542
The Insurrectionary Commune
is now in session
1162
02:32:35,242 --> 02:32:37,276
Citizens, be vigilant
1163
02:32:38,365 --> 02:32:42,512
We can't allow the guard
at the Tuileries to be reinforced
1164
02:32:42,888 --> 02:32:45,098
I'll deal with the Tuileries myself
1165
02:33:12,987 --> 02:33:16,509
The Republic is worth losing
a few hours of sleep for. Come on !
1166
02:33:18,390 --> 02:33:20,636
- Where were you ?
- I went to reassure the women
1167
02:33:28,212 --> 02:33:32,315
We'll go back to the H�tel de Ville ;
from there we can hold all of Paris
1168
02:34:14,796 --> 02:34:19,415
Your Majesty, Pierre Roederer,
Attorney General of the department
1169
02:34:19,820 --> 02:34:22,238
I came to verify Your Majesty's safety
1170
02:34:23,918 --> 02:34:27,010
So many people
are concerned about my safety !
1171
02:34:28,231 --> 02:34:32,956
Last night Monsieur Mandat,
Commander of the National Guard...
1172
02:34:33,768 --> 02:34:36,710
... assured me that
my guard would be reinforced
1173
02:34:37,778 --> 02:34:40,117
Sire, Monsieur Mandat is dead
1174
02:34:43,406 --> 02:34:48,087
Murdered by order of Danton's
Insurrectional Commune
1175
02:34:49,308 --> 02:34:50,850
What should I do, sir ?
1176
02:34:51,712 --> 02:34:54,966
My Swiss guard is not strong enough
to defend the palace
1177
02:34:56,328 --> 02:34:58,647
If I were in Your Majesty's place--
1178
02:34:59,036 --> 02:35:01,068
Yes, if you were in my place ?
1179
02:35:02,097 --> 02:35:05,941
I would review the palace's National Guard.
I believe they are loyal
1180
02:35:08,135 --> 02:35:09,580
It's our last chance
1181
02:35:13,233 --> 02:35:16,275
I will stake my throne
on this last chance
1182
02:35:18,696 --> 02:35:19,846
The King !
1183
02:35:27,534 --> 02:35:28,994
Down with the King !
1184
02:35:46,210 --> 02:35:48,510
Don't expect us to fire on our brothers !
1185
02:35:53,989 --> 02:35:56,122
Come, Sire, quickly !
1186
02:36:16,578 --> 02:36:18,606
Sire, all my men are in position
1187
02:36:31,331 --> 02:36:34,694
Sire, these gentlemen are members
of the Directory of the Department
1188
02:36:36,552 --> 02:36:40,985
The Constitution is supposed to
safeguard the security of every Frenchman
1189
02:36:41,772 --> 02:36:43,264
I see that it does not apply to me
1190
02:36:45,124 --> 02:36:48,625
What should we do now,
Monsieur Roederer ?
1191
02:36:48,877 --> 02:36:51,140
The National Assembly
is in permanent session
1192
02:36:51,812 --> 02:36:54,996
We think that you and your family
should seek refuge there...
1193
02:36:55,859 --> 02:36:57,678
... while there's still a way through
1194
02:36:57,798 --> 02:37:01,280
No, sir ! Here we are defended ;
why should we leave ?
1195
02:37:01,927 --> 02:37:04,833
Madame, all Paris
is marching on the Tuileries
1196
02:37:05,325 --> 02:37:07,565
The troops from Marseilles,
Bretagne, everyone
1197
02:37:11,908 --> 02:37:13,224
Look for yourself, Madame
1198
02:37:17,487 --> 02:37:20,559
All of Paris, Madame.
How can we fight back ?
1199
02:37:30,143 --> 02:37:32,527
Then let's go. Come Madame
1200
02:38:03,896 --> 02:38:05,001
Open the gates
1201
02:38:16,850 --> 02:38:20,281
The King and his family
are going to the National Assembly
1202
02:38:20,995 --> 02:38:25,240
In the name of the Assembly,
I ask you to respect their persons
1203
02:39:23,346 --> 02:39:26,642
Gentlemen, I come here
to avert a great crime
1204
02:39:27,992 --> 02:39:30,586
I believe I can only be safe among you
1205
02:39:33,004 --> 02:39:35,689
Sire, you can count on
the courage of the National Assembly
1206
02:39:58,376 --> 02:40:00,152
Gentlemen, the session continues
1207
02:41:08,803 --> 02:41:10,618
Who will look after my Swiss guards ?
1208
02:41:11,784 --> 02:41:14,670
And my house,
and those we've left behind ?
1209
02:41:17,238 --> 02:41:18,353
Fate, Sire
