00:01:12,281 --> 00:01:13,950
[Bell tolls]
3
00:01:47,692 --> 00:01:49,026
[Narrator] Once upon a time,
4
00:01:49,110 --> 00:01:53,656
a beautiful young girl
grew up hidden away in a con vent
5
00:01:53,739 --> 00:01:55,992
by the edge of the sea.
6
00:01:56,075 --> 00:01:57,410
Marie-josephe!
7
00:01:58,828 --> 00:02:00,037
Marie-josephe!
8
00:02:01,956 --> 00:02:04,917
[Narrator]
Her very existence was a secret,
9
00:02:05,001 --> 00:02:08,004
for she was the king's daughter.
10
00:02:09,505 --> 00:02:10,756
Marie-josephe!
11
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,720
[Narrator] From a very early age,
she was drawn to the water,
12
00:02:15,803 --> 00:02:18,723
much to the dismay of
the con vent's strict nuns
13
00:02:18,806 --> 00:02:22,560
who did their best
to shelter her from the world.
14
00:02:22,643 --> 00:02:26,480
[Abbess] How often have you been warned
not to swim in the sea?
15
00:02:26,981 --> 00:02:28,649
[Marie-josephe] Very often.
16
00:02:28,733 --> 00:02:31,110
And my previous punishments...
17
00:02:31,193 --> 00:02:35,156
Revoking your riding privileges,
burning your beloved cello...
18
00:02:35,239 --> 00:02:37,241
None were enough to deter you.
19
00:02:38,451 --> 00:02:41,412
It is Satan's voice which calls you
to the unholy sea.
20
00:02:42,705 --> 00:02:44,874
Abbess, it is a simple joy of nature.
21
00:02:44,957 --> 00:02:46,083
- Silence.
- It is.
22
00:02:46,167 --> 00:02:47,543
Silence, I said.
23
00:02:53,924 --> 00:02:57,219
[Narrator]
Mean while, at the palace of I/ersa/lles,
24
00:02:57,303 --> 00:03:02,141
ll/lar/e-josephe's father,
king Louis x/ I/, king of France,
25
00:03:02,224 --> 00:03:03,893
had recently returned victorious
26
00:03:03,976 --> 00:03:07,855
from an expensive war
that had dragged on for years.
27
00:03:09,023 --> 00:03:13,861
Our troops have been fighting
with exceptional skill and courage.
28
00:03:13,944 --> 00:03:15,946
[Cheering, applauding]
29
00:03:16,947 --> 00:03:19,158
It has been the greatest honor for me
30
00:03:20,076 --> 00:03:21,869
to stand beside each...
31
00:03:21,952 --> 00:03:24,288
- [Crowd screaming]
- [Groans]
32
00:03:24,372 --> 00:03:26,332
[Grunts]
33
00:03:27,208 --> 00:03:29,543
- [Narrator] France still had enemies.
- My king.
34
00:03:29,627 --> 00:03:33,631
And that night,
the man also known as the sun king
35
00:03:33,714 --> 00:03:37,259
learned that
even he would not live forever.
36
00:03:39,678 --> 00:03:41,847
[Crowd cheering, applauding]
37
00:03:49,522 --> 00:03:52,024
Now, where was I?
38
00:03:52,108 --> 00:03:54,110
[Cheering continues]
39
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,280
A few inches to the right,
40
00:03:59,615 --> 00:04:01,075
would have found your heart.
41
00:04:01,158 --> 00:04:03,202
If France loses you,
42
00:04:04,328 --> 00:04:05,746
it will be catastrophic,
43
00:04:05,830 --> 00:04:08,040
not to mention lonely for me.
44
00:04:08,124 --> 00:04:10,292
- Mmm.
- There is a possible solution.
45
00:04:11,585 --> 00:04:14,713
I've been investigating certain properties
46
00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:17,591
of an organ in a legendary sea creature.
47
00:04:17,675 --> 00:04:19,009
A fish?
48
00:04:19,969 --> 00:04:21,178
That's your solution?
49
00:04:21,262 --> 00:04:23,055
- [Chuckles]
- [Chuckles]
50
00:04:23,139 --> 00:04:25,307
If the question is the king's mortality...
51
00:04:26,767 --> 00:04:28,519
This creature could hold the key.
52
00:04:31,897 --> 00:04:35,818
[Narrator] And with that, the sun king
commissioned a risky expedition
53
00:04:35,901 --> 00:04:39,488
to find the underwater
lost city of a tlantis
54
00:04:39,572 --> 00:04:41,574
and its fabled mermaids,
55
00:04:42,533 --> 00:04:46,036
belie ving they held the key
to life everlasting.
56
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,998
[Sailors shouting]
57
00:04:49,081 --> 00:04:51,125
For this dangerous mission,
58
00:04:51,208 --> 00:04:56,338
a courageous captain was sent
to search the far reaches of the seas.
59
00:04:59,258 --> 00:05:01,719
[Thunder crashing]
60
00:05:09,852 --> 00:05:12,563
I think I saw it. Due north.
61
00:05:14,273 --> 00:05:15,274
Are you sure?
62
00:05:15,941 --> 00:05:18,277
Only if you believe in the unbelievable.
63
00:05:19,528 --> 00:05:21,614
Ready the barrels!
64
00:05:22,656 --> 00:05:24,074
Ready the barrels!
65
00:05:29,288 --> 00:05:31,832
- Lower the nets!
- [Grunts]
66
00:05:32,583 --> 00:05:34,585
Drop them both now!
67
00:05:36,003 --> 00:05:37,963
Fire!
68
00:05:38,047 --> 00:05:39,507
Fire!
69
00:05:46,180 --> 00:05:48,682
- Heave!
- Pull!
70
00:05:48,766 --> 00:05:51,352
- Heave!
- [All grunting]
71
00:05:53,103 --> 00:05:55,356
- Heave!
- [Grunting continues]
72
00:05:57,608 --> 00:06:01,237
[Mermaids shrieking]
73
00:06:05,950 --> 00:06:08,994
- Get a hook into it!
- [Sailor screaming]
74
00:06:09,078 --> 00:06:10,454
They're gonna kill us all!
75
00:06:12,706 --> 00:06:13,749
[Groans]
76
00:06:15,042 --> 00:06:18,128
- [Captain] We only need the female.
- [Shrieking continues]
77
00:06:18,212 --> 00:06:20,297
Let the male go.
78
00:06:21,966 --> 00:06:23,968
[Groaning]
79
00:06:25,594 --> 00:06:27,471
[Shrieking]
80
00:06:27,555 --> 00:06:32,851
[Narrator] 80, captain yves de la Croix
sent word of the amazing capture
81
00:06:32,935 --> 00:06:34,937
back to I/ersa/lles
82
00:06:35,020 --> 00:06:37,398
on the wings of the royal carrier pigeons.
83
00:06:50,327 --> 00:06:52,621
Fantastic news, your majesty.
84
00:06:52,705 --> 00:06:55,249
De la Croix's ship sails for home
85
00:06:56,125 --> 00:06:59,336
in possession of the miraculous cargo.
86
00:06:59,420 --> 00:07:01,797
The coming eclipse
is perfect timing.
87
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,008
The books are clear
about these matters
88
00:07:04,091 --> 00:07:06,510
and specify that the creature
must be sacrificed
89
00:07:06,594 --> 00:07:08,637
right as the moon passes
in front of the sun
90
00:07:08,721 --> 00:07:11,849
in order to transfer its gift
of eternal life.
91
00:07:11,932 --> 00:07:14,518
Perhaps we should withhold
our glee, Dr. Labarthe,
92
00:07:14,602 --> 00:07:17,605
until we have proof
that your books are not just fiction.
93
00:07:17,688 --> 00:07:19,106
[King Louis xiv] Relax, father.
94
00:07:19,189 --> 00:07:24,528
Surely, the doctor wouldn't be risking
his reputation on this outlandish claim
95
00:07:25,195 --> 00:07:27,906
unless he was feeling very confident.
96
00:07:33,579 --> 00:07:35,998
[Sailor]
Port le havre dead ahead, captain!
97
00:07:41,754 --> 00:07:45,424
[Narrator] The king's closest minister
had serious doubts
98
00:07:45,507 --> 00:07:47,968
about the doctor's plan for the mermaid
99
00:07:48,052 --> 00:07:51,347
and, as fate would have it,
he had just requested
100
00:07:51,430 --> 00:07:54,725
that the king's daughter
attend the royal celebration
101
00:07:54,808 --> 00:07:57,061
of the coming solar eclipse.
102
00:07:57,144 --> 00:08:00,939
Father, a response
from the convent de St. helene.
103
00:08:01,023 --> 00:08:02,483
Give me the girl's files.
104
00:08:08,113 --> 00:08:11,283
It seems the abbess can't wait
to Grant us our request.
105
00:08:14,703 --> 00:08:16,664
[Narrator] And on the next day,
106
00:08:16,747 --> 00:08:20,417
father la chaise went to retrieve
the king is long-lost daughter,
107
00:08:20,501 --> 00:08:24,004
thus starting ll/larie-josephe is
great adventure.
108
00:08:24,922 --> 00:08:29,009
[Abbess] She's become incurably defiant
immune to all disc/pl/ne.
109
00:08:29,093 --> 00:08:33,055
[La chaise] Your reports over the years
have told of a prodigious musical talent,
110
00:08:33,138 --> 00:08:35,599
a soul poised in devotion to god.
111
00:08:35,683 --> 00:08:38,602
Throughout her childhood, yes.
But she's become...
112
00:08:38,686 --> 00:08:40,354
Dear abbess,
113
00:08:40,437 --> 00:08:45,818
I need to know whether her talents
might be welcomed in court.
114
00:08:47,945 --> 00:08:52,324
[Vocalizing melody]
115
00:08:52,408 --> 00:08:54,952
- [Knocking]
- [Lock turning]
116
00:09:00,332 --> 00:09:02,543
You are leaving us, Marie-josephe.
117
00:09:07,297 --> 00:09:08,465
Where am I going?
118
00:09:08,549 --> 00:09:11,218
To a lavish and glimmering hell
119
00:09:12,428 --> 00:09:15,305
where you will no doubt thrive.
120
00:09:17,558 --> 00:09:20,894
- [Driver grunts]
- [Horses whinnying]
121
00:09:32,573 --> 00:09:34,116
Do you serve the king?
122
00:09:34,199 --> 00:09:37,035
No, I work for the king.
123
00:09:39,121 --> 00:09:40,456
I serve god.
124
00:09:41,915 --> 00:09:44,126
Are you taking me to meet the king or god?
125
00:09:51,967 --> 00:09:53,552
[Horses whinnying]
126
00:09:57,055 --> 00:09:58,724
I'd always heard the tales of versailles.
127
00:10:00,893 --> 00:10:03,312
I never imagined it would be quite so...
128
00:10:03,395 --> 00:10:04,730
Magnificent?
129
00:10:05,314 --> 00:10:06,690
The stuff of dreams.
130
00:10:06,774 --> 00:10:08,525
[Whinnies]
131
00:10:20,913 --> 00:10:22,080
Magali. Please.
132
00:10:29,046 --> 00:10:32,716
[Groans] Marie-josephe d'alembert.
133
00:10:33,759 --> 00:10:35,177
This is magali.
134
00:10:35,260 --> 00:10:38,180
- [Marie-josephe] Bonjour.
- Please show her to her room.
135
00:10:39,848 --> 00:10:41,767
No. We're not in the chateau.
136
00:10:42,726 --> 00:10:43,894
This way, mademoiselle.
137
00:10:48,023 --> 00:10:50,526
Sire, it is the hour.
138
00:10:51,193 --> 00:10:53,445
[Chamber music playing]
139
00:10:53,529 --> 00:10:55,405
[Groans]
140
00:10:56,865 --> 00:10:59,368
[King Louis xiv] Boring!
141
00:10:59,451 --> 00:11:02,329
I can write better music than that.
142
00:11:02,412 --> 00:11:05,874
Maybe you should compose
your own music, majesty.
143
00:11:05,958 --> 00:11:07,960
Maybe I should be my own priest.
144
00:11:08,043 --> 00:11:11,547
Find me a composer
who's fresh, exciting.
145
00:11:13,924 --> 00:11:16,510
- No hurry.
- No hurry, meaning...
146
00:11:17,052 --> 00:11:18,053
Immediately.
147
00:11:21,390 --> 00:11:23,183
[Music stops playing]
148
00:11:23,267 --> 00:11:25,310
Shall we start our day?
149
00:11:28,397 --> 00:11:30,107
[Clears throat, sighs]
150
00:11:31,483 --> 00:11:33,819
Forgive me, father,
for I have sinned.
151
00:11:33,902 --> 00:11:37,906
I shared my bed last night
with madame scarron.
152
00:11:38,740 --> 00:11:40,784
- Devereaux.
- Hmm?
153
00:11:40,868 --> 00:11:42,327
That was madame devereaux.
154
00:11:42,995 --> 00:11:45,956
I don't think so.
Devereaux is an intellectual.
155
00:11:46,540 --> 00:11:48,458
She's also a brunette.
156
00:11:51,795 --> 00:11:54,089
Forgive me, father,
for I have sinned.
157
00:11:54,172 --> 00:11:57,092
I shared my bed last night
with madame devereaux.
158
00:11:57,175 --> 00:11:59,553
Mmm. You shall be forgiven.
159
00:12:01,847 --> 00:12:03,515
[Bell tolls]
160
00:12:03,599 --> 00:12:06,810
To have earned private quarters so quickly
is a magnificent feat.
161
00:12:07,311 --> 00:12:10,105
- I doubt I've earned anything.
- [Snickering, giggling]
162
00:12:10,188 --> 00:12:13,066
Humility will get you nowhere
at court, mademoiselle.
163
00:12:13,150 --> 00:12:15,527
Color and bravado
are the order of the day.
164
00:12:15,611 --> 00:12:16,612
[Scoffs]
165
00:12:17,404 --> 00:12:19,865
Look at those girls.
I don't fit in here.
166
00:12:21,116 --> 00:12:23,076
It's my job to see that you will.
167
00:12:39,009 --> 00:12:40,093
[Gasps softly]
168
00:12:42,262 --> 00:12:45,641
All ladies' chambers face east
169
00:12:45,724 --> 00:12:48,769
so that each awakens
with a ray of the king on her cheek.
170
00:12:51,021 --> 00:12:54,775
It's the last piece she wrote
at the convent, majesty.
171
00:12:54,858 --> 00:12:58,362
I am not the one to judge
whether or not her skills are good enough.
172
00:12:58,946 --> 00:13:00,405
She's not without talent.
173
00:13:01,448 --> 00:13:04,409
And remember,
she has no formal training.
174
00:13:04,493 --> 00:13:07,204
I'm speaking of talent.
The stuff one is made of.
175
00:13:08,288 --> 00:13:09,539
I will meet her tomorrow.
176
00:13:09,623 --> 00:13:13,627
And remember, no one must know
she's my daughter.
177
00:13:16,004 --> 00:13:17,923
[Both laughing]
178
00:13:20,217 --> 00:13:22,552
So how long were you at the convent?
179
00:13:22,636 --> 00:13:23,637
Since birth.
180
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,555
I never knew my parents.
181
00:13:25,639 --> 00:13:28,767
Were you taken from them
like I was from mine?
182
00:13:31,144 --> 00:13:32,562
I was left there.
183
00:13:33,397 --> 00:13:35,023
How poetic.
184
00:13:35,107 --> 00:13:40,278
Trauma at the start of life
often inspires greatness.
185
00:13:41,905 --> 00:13:45,409
Sometimes I think the trauma was greater
for the abbess than it was for me.
186
00:13:45,492 --> 00:13:47,953
[Both laughing]
187
00:13:51,498 --> 00:13:54,001
His majesty's first honor
this morning is bestowed
188
00:13:54,084 --> 00:13:56,086
on monsieur Jean-Michel lintillac,
189
00:13:56,169 --> 00:14:00,173
son of the lace and export baron
Pierre lintillac.
190
00:14:02,342 --> 00:14:05,220
I feel a sense of awe standing here
in the light of the sun king.
191
00:14:05,303 --> 00:14:07,973
A light cast for all France.
192
00:14:08,056 --> 00:14:09,182
[All] For all France!
193
00:14:09,266 --> 00:14:10,934
I come to show my gratitude,
194
00:14:11,518 --> 00:14:14,521
our nation's gratitude,
for your recent military triumph.
195
00:14:14,604 --> 00:14:16,523
It is god's triumph.
196
00:14:17,357 --> 00:14:21,111
And our brave soldiers'.
197
00:14:21,194 --> 00:14:24,573
In honor of your upcoming birthday,
majesty, let me offer this gift.
198
00:14:25,323 --> 00:14:27,325
My father's dearest possession...
199
00:14:27,409 --> 00:14:28,577
Mmm.
200
00:14:28,660 --> 00:14:31,246
Forged from rare Chinese diamonds.
201
00:14:32,247 --> 00:14:35,083
How I dislike birthdays.
202
00:14:35,167 --> 00:14:37,335
They remind me of mortality.
203
00:14:37,419 --> 00:14:41,298
They also remind you
of your soul's immortality, majesty.
204
00:14:41,381 --> 00:14:44,301
I'm not worried about my soul.
Well, not just yet.
205
00:14:45,093 --> 00:14:48,138
So, tell me, how is your dear father?
206
00:14:48,221 --> 00:14:50,140
He's ready to pass
from this world to the next.
207
00:14:51,016 --> 00:14:52,601
I see.
208
00:14:54,770 --> 00:14:57,773
Perhaps there is more to do
with the boy.
209
00:14:59,357 --> 00:15:02,486
- Meaning?
- This war has depleted the treasury.
210
00:15:02,569 --> 00:15:06,490
Why don't we just turn the boy upside-down
and see what falls from his pockets?
211
00:15:06,573 --> 00:15:08,450
He stands to inherit a fortune.
212
00:15:08,533 --> 00:15:10,535
You're being secretive and enigmatic.
213
00:15:10,619 --> 00:15:13,789
Inappropriate behavior
for anyone but me.
214
00:15:15,207 --> 00:15:17,250
Do you believe in coincidence...
215
00:15:18,794 --> 00:15:20,504
Or fate?
216
00:15:23,507 --> 00:15:25,634
[Marie-josephe]
Why is everyone staring?
217
00:15:25,717 --> 00:15:27,177
[Magali]
Appearance is everything.
218
00:15:27,969 --> 00:15:29,489
- [Marie-josephe] Appearance?
- [Laughing]
219
00:15:29,513 --> 00:15:31,306
Yes, mademoiselle.
220
00:15:31,389 --> 00:15:33,558
They'd rather gossip about you
221
00:15:33,642 --> 00:15:36,478
than reflect on the emptiness
of their own lives.
222
00:15:36,561 --> 00:15:40,065
Being kicked out of a convent
is hardly the making of a fairy tale.
223
00:15:40,649 --> 00:15:41,650
Perhaps.
224
00:15:41,733 --> 00:15:45,112
But the fact that the king
had you brought here
225
00:15:45,195 --> 00:15:47,322
makes you an object of intrigue,
226
00:15:47,405 --> 00:15:50,575
second only to some secret surprise
he has planned
227
00:15:50,659 --> 00:15:52,452
for the coming solar eclipse.
228
00:15:52,953 --> 00:15:55,330
The king owns the eclipse too,
does he?
229
00:15:56,790 --> 00:15:58,750
I guess when one rules over
the moon and the sun,
230
00:15:58,834 --> 00:16:01,503
he's entitled to schedule
their rendezvous.
231
00:16:05,132 --> 00:16:06,925
[Horses whinnying]
232
00:16:12,139 --> 00:16:14,019
[Marie-josephe]
Do you have a favorite fountain?
233
00:16:14,099 --> 00:16:16,393
[Magali] Yes. The fountain flora.
234
00:16:16,476 --> 00:16:17,853
It's right over there.
235
00:16:29,739 --> 00:16:31,700
Isn't she beautiful?
236
00:16:41,209 --> 00:16:42,460
Mademoiselle, be careful.
237
00:16:46,631 --> 00:16:48,258
- [Horses whinnying]
- Mademoiselle.
238
00:16:49,801 --> 00:16:51,219
The king!
239
00:16:54,806 --> 00:16:56,266

[Marie-josephe coughs]
243
00:17:06,818 --> 00:17:08,653
Allow me, mademoiselle.
244
00:17:12,741 --> 00:17:14,034
Are you okay?
245
00:17:16,995 --> 00:17:18,663
[La chaise] Marie-josephe.
246
00:17:18,747 --> 00:17:22,250
Present yourself before the king,
if you please.
247
00:17:36,389 --> 00:17:40,185
Might we remove that shock from your face
and offer a smile?
248
00:17:52,822 --> 00:17:54,616
Do you have a genuine smile...
249
00:17:56,201 --> 00:17:57,410
Hidden somewhere?
250
00:17:59,704 --> 00:18:01,081
No regrets, mademoiselle.
251
00:18:01,164 --> 00:18:05,794
That statue is of a woman
who has caused many to lose their balance.
252
00:18:08,505 --> 00:18:09,965
Although,
253
00:18:10,674 --> 00:18:11,675
mostly men.
254
00:18:19,099 --> 00:18:22,102
No need to bother, mademoiselle.
I have another one.
255
00:18:24,521 --> 00:18:27,899
Move her to quarters
befitting my new composer.
256
00:18:41,371 --> 00:18:44,207
[Marie-josephe gasps]
Have we died and gone to heaven?
257
00:18:44,291 --> 00:18:46,918
I think so. [Laughs]
258
00:18:47,002 --> 00:18:49,963
We are now in the chateau,
259
00:18:50,046 --> 00:18:52,465
among the truly privileged.
260
00:18:53,842 --> 00:18:56,636
And I've been appointed
your lady-in-waiting.
261
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,763
[Chuckles]
262
00:18:58,847 --> 00:19:01,683
It's all so magnificent.
263
00:19:02,559 --> 00:19:04,102
[Sighs]
264
00:19:06,271 --> 00:19:08,356
If you could choose only one,
265
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:09,816
which would it be?
266
00:19:12,402 --> 00:19:14,404
They're all so beautiful.
267
00:19:15,864 --> 00:19:17,073
But...
268
00:19:18,533 --> 00:19:20,076
I choose my cello.
269
00:19:21,328 --> 00:19:22,746
My freedom.
270
00:19:23,997 --> 00:19:26,791

[Loud thump]

00:19:58,031 --> 00:19:59,282
- Steady.
- Hold it!
277
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,254
[Mermaid calling]
278
00:20:13,338 --> 00:20:15,548
[Yves] The king built all this
279
00:20:16,132 --> 00:20:18,718
to bring water to versailles
from the ocean via the seine.
280
00:20:19,344 --> 00:20:22,847
Those are a system of valves
that regulate the various fountains.
281
00:20:23,431 --> 00:20:25,683
There is the path
to the underground river.
282
00:20:26,309 --> 00:20:27,977
Brings all the water here.
283
00:20:29,187 --> 00:20:31,773
[King Louis xiv]
"After the male was returned to the sea,
284
00:20:31,856 --> 00:20:35,902
the female fell into a dark
and lethargic trance."
285
00:20:35,985 --> 00:20:38,863
A seaman's drunken commentary.
286
00:20:39,823 --> 00:20:41,408
There were two of them?
287
00:20:41,491 --> 00:20:45,662
Yes, majesty.
But the male is useless for our purpose.
288
00:20:45,745 --> 00:20:48,373
Only the female possesses
the infinite light source.
289
00:20:48,456 --> 00:20:51,960
What you propose, doctor,
is sacrilegious.
290
00:20:52,043 --> 00:20:55,839
- What I'm proposing is revolutionary.
- Stop the bickering. Stop it.
291
00:20:59,134 --> 00:21:01,636
I want to see the creature
as soon as possible.
292
00:21:01,719 --> 00:21:02,929
Yes, majesty.
293
00:21:10,186 --> 00:21:14,149
If this is real, we need it,
which means we need him.
294
00:21:14,232 --> 00:21:15,692
[Door opens]
295
00:21:15,775 --> 00:21:17,575
Why are you so anxious
to make him your enemy?
296
00:21:17,610 --> 00:21:20,029
- [Door closes]
- Self-respect, perhaps?
297
00:21:20,113 --> 00:21:23,783
My immortality
secures the future of France.
298
00:21:23,867 --> 00:21:28,455
The only thing god gives you
as immortal is your soul
299
00:21:28,538 --> 00:21:32,125
and you only have one of those to lose.
300
00:21:36,504 --> 00:21:38,756
There must be something you will eat.
301
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,967
- [Mermaid calls]
- [King Louis xiv] Captain.
302
00:21:42,260 --> 00:21:46,097
- Bring up the creature.
- That's easier said than done, sire.
303
00:21:46,181 --> 00:21:49,642
She remains on the bottom,
weakened and traumatized from herjourney.
304
00:21:50,685 --> 00:21:52,854
You speak as if it were human.
305
00:21:52,937 --> 00:21:54,856
[Yves] I cannot speak
to such things, father.
306
00:21:54,939 --> 00:21:58,109
I only meant she behaves like a human.
She's rebellious, she won't eat.
307
00:21:58,193 --> 00:22:00,111
It's as if she's lost the will to live.
308
00:22:00,195 --> 00:22:02,947
- [Calling continues]
- [La chaise] Interesting.
309
00:22:03,031 --> 00:22:05,241
[La chaise]
You think it chooses to die?
310
00:22:05,325 --> 00:22:08,703
[Labarthe] Nonsense.
The creature's condition is unacceptable.
311
00:22:08,786 --> 00:22:10,955
It must be brought to health at once.
312
00:22:11,039 --> 00:22:12,415
[Yves] Well, you're the doctor.
313
00:22:12,499 --> 00:22:13,917
I'm a sailor.
314
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,337
Perhaps you should remember that
before you speak with such insolence.
315
00:22:17,420 --> 00:22:18,796
[King Louis xiv] Captain yves,
316
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,717
you understand the creature
is the centerpiece of the celebration?
317
00:22:23,510 --> 00:22:25,303
- Yes, sire.
- Good.
318
00:22:25,386 --> 00:22:29,390
Then see to its full and robust recovery
in time for the eclipse.
319
00:22:29,474 --> 00:22:33,186
And in return,
you shall receive a royal pardon.
320
00:22:33,269 --> 00:22:34,270
Majesty.
321
00:22:34,354 --> 00:22:35,647
However,
322
00:22:36,648 --> 00:22:38,107
you fail me,
323
00:22:38,983 --> 00:22:41,986
then a dark cell
will seem like a paradise.
324
00:22:42,820 --> 00:22:44,322

[Mermaid continues melodic phrase]
356
00:26:05,523 --> 00:26:08,443
[Marie-josephe]
She has green eyes, hair almost like ours,
357
00:26:08,526 --> 00:26:10,695
and she called me from my chamber.
358
00:26:11,279 --> 00:26:14,282
A beautiful, hairy fish
called you from your chamber?
359
00:26:14,365 --> 00:26:16,325
No. No, not a fish.
360
00:26:16,951 --> 00:26:19,871
I think she's a mermaid,
like in the books.
361
00:26:19,954 --> 00:26:21,748
Her music inspired this.
362
00:26:21,831 --> 00:26:24,625
Don't fret, messieurs.
363
00:26:24,709 --> 00:26:27,587
A woman's soul is as musical as a man's.
364
00:26:28,463 --> 00:26:32,800
With perhaps a touch more vibrato.
365
00:26:32,884 --> 00:26:36,888
[Playing plaintive melody]
366
00:26:44,353 --> 00:26:46,939
Sire, it is the hour.
367
00:26:47,023 --> 00:26:51,027
[Orchestra continues playing]
368
00:26:52,111 --> 00:26:53,362
Hmm.
369
00:26:54,071 --> 00:26:55,490
A touch of melancholy.
370
00:27:03,623 --> 00:27:05,917
Like nothing I've ever heard before.
371
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,503
It seems both of this world and another.
372
00:27:09,253 --> 00:27:11,881
Invite our young composer to the ball.
373
00:27:17,345 --> 00:27:20,056
Forgive me, father,
for I have sinned.
374
00:27:26,729 --> 00:27:27,730
Yes?
375
00:27:29,148 --> 00:27:33,528
I can't remember the exact details
of what happened last night.
376
00:27:36,656 --> 00:27:38,908
I understand. You're forgiven.
377
00:27:42,703 --> 00:27:44,247
[Magali giggles]
378
00:27:44,330 --> 00:27:47,834
At the convent we used to pretend to
put on makeup for an imaginary grand ball.
379
00:27:47,917 --> 00:27:51,671
Shh, mademoiselle.
You'll spoil things. Don't speak.
380
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,675
[Giggles] Now...
381
00:27:56,425 --> 00:27:59,303
Prepare to dazzle, hmm?
382
00:28:05,059 --> 00:28:06,435
Magali.
383
00:28:06,519 --> 00:28:08,771
- What's wrong?
- [Stammers]
384
00:28:08,855 --> 00:28:10,189
I look like a clown.
385
00:28:10,273 --> 00:28:13,776
Nonsense.
That's how all the ladies will be painted.
386
00:28:13,860 --> 00:28:15,987
Well, then maybe
I'd rather look like a man.
387
00:28:16,070 --> 00:28:18,406
That's also how the men will look.
388
00:28:18,489 --> 00:28:20,241
[Both laughing]
389
00:28:20,491 --> 00:28:24,662
[Orchestra playing classical music]

[Guests gasping]
391
00:28:54,525 --> 00:28:55,776
Majesty,
392
00:28:56,569 --> 00:29:00,781
may I present a somewhat different version
of mademoiselle d'alembert.
393
00:29:01,991 --> 00:29:05,161
I like this unique look of yours.
394
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,789
- Perhaps others will follow.
- Oh, I doubt it.
395
00:29:08,873 --> 00:29:12,919
You are something they can never be.
An individual.
396
00:29:13,628 --> 00:29:16,797
In all things, I suspect. [Chuckles]
397
00:29:17,673 --> 00:29:19,091
Including your music.
398
00:29:20,134 --> 00:29:21,469
I need your help.
399
00:29:22,094 --> 00:29:23,512
Excuse me, mademoiselle.
400
00:29:25,848 --> 00:29:30,061
I need a brilliant suite
for the celebration of the eclipse.
401
00:29:30,144 --> 00:29:33,397
Something regal, something spiritual.
402
00:29:33,481 --> 00:29:35,566
Something befitting Apollo.
403
00:29:35,650 --> 00:29:37,026
And the sun king.
404
00:29:37,902 --> 00:29:40,863
Ah. Monsieur lintillac.
405
00:29:40,947 --> 00:29:44,241
Perhaps you can offer to dance
with this young mademoiselle.
406
00:29:44,325 --> 00:29:47,745
- I would be honored.
- The two newest members of the court.
407
00:29:47,828 --> 00:29:52,124
One a dashing son
of France's wealthiest merchant...
408
00:29:52,208 --> 00:29:53,834
And an orphan,
409
00:29:53,918 --> 00:29:57,755
recently freed from a convent
defined by humility and chastity.
410
00:29:57,838 --> 00:29:59,131
Then I must humbly ask
411
00:29:59,215 --> 00:30:01,842
whether such a virtuous young lady
would even know how to dance.
412
00:30:04,762 --> 00:30:08,015
I'm afraid, majesty,
I wouldn't know where to begin.
413
00:30:08,099 --> 00:30:11,811
Well then, mademoiselle,
allow me to take the lead.
414
00:30:12,603 --> 00:30:13,938
A minuet.
415
00:30:14,021 --> 00:30:15,606
Three-quarter time.
416
00:30:16,607 --> 00:30:19,485
- And...
- [Orchestra begins playing]

And kick.
424
00:30:48,264 --> 00:30:50,975
And up and turn.
425
00:30:51,642 --> 00:30:53,728
Good. And arm.

- [Mermaid chittering]
- [Marie-josephe] It was so amazing.

00:32:03,672 --> 00:32:06,133
The king is the most graceful dancer.
443

You would have loved the fireworks.
444
00:32:09,095 --> 00:32:10,846
It was so spectacular.

[Mermaid calling]

Something about you scares her.
447
00:32:21,398 --> 00:32:24,151
Perhaps it's because
you're feeding her dead fish.
448
00:32:25,194 --> 00:32:28,531
- She told you that?
- Of course. Who else?
449

Who else, indeed.
450
00:32:35,204 --> 00:32:38,582
This place is so beautiful.
I love the water.
451

[Chuckles]
452
00:32:40,167 --> 00:32:42,044
You don't seem to be afraid of it.
453
00:32:43,671 --> 00:32:45,631
You don't seem to be afraid
of anything.
454
00:32:45,714 --> 00:32:48,425
Definitely not water.
I grew up by the sea.
455
00:32:49,510 --> 00:32:52,763
It was the only place I could go
to escape the prison of my convent.
456
00:32:52,847 --> 00:32:54,974
I feel the same way about versailles.
457

Out there, beyond that gate,
is a sailor's favorite sight...
458

The shoreline disappearing
in the distance.
459
00:33:03,023 --> 00:33:06,152
Not knowing what's coming next
other than grand adventure.
460
00:33:06,777 --> 00:33:08,028
Sounds wonderful.

- Have you ever been to sea?
- Only in my dreams.

The abbess considered
even swimming a crime.
463
00:33:16,829 --> 00:33:19,123
- [Mermaid continues calling]
- A crime?
464
00:33:19,206 --> 00:33:22,251
- Against who?
- Against god.
465
00:33:24,795 --> 00:33:27,590
[Labarthe]
The life force has been confirmed.
466
00:33:28,340 --> 00:33:31,677
As I predicted,
it emanates from the heart.
467
00:33:34,388 --> 00:33:36,015
Once the water has been drained,
468
00:33:36,098 --> 00:33:38,893
the creature will be killed
and the organelle removed,
469
00:33:40,186 --> 00:33:42,521
placing the life force into our hands.
470
00:33:48,944 --> 00:33:50,738
That's a lovely dress.
471
00:33:50,821 --> 00:33:52,865
Interesting with your eyes.
472
00:33:56,035 --> 00:33:57,745
Never seen anything like it.
473
00:33:58,370 --> 00:34:00,915
It's wonderful to be here
with someone again.
474
00:34:02,374 --> 00:34:04,668
A completely different experience.
475
00:34:06,462 --> 00:34:09,882
I understand you have company here
from time to time.
476
00:34:10,841 --> 00:34:11,842
A rumor.
477
00:34:13,052 --> 00:34:16,847
Odd, in a court so devoid of gossip.
478
00:34:17,681 --> 00:34:18,891
Doesn't make it false.
479
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,730
The statue in the fountain
where you fell in,
480
00:34:25,731 --> 00:34:28,901
that was the last woman
who was here with me in the garden.
481
00:34:28,984 --> 00:34:31,237
- Who is she?
- I used to draw her.
482
00:34:32,363 --> 00:34:33,697
I'm not very good.
483
00:34:35,199 --> 00:34:37,409
Her name was Louise de la valliere.
484
00:34:38,702 --> 00:34:40,079
Do I remind you of her?
485
00:34:40,955 --> 00:34:42,331
No one reminds me of her...
486
00:34:43,999 --> 00:34:45,125
Until you.
487
00:34:47,586 --> 00:34:51,298
[Chuckles]
I'm afraid I've abused my authority.
488
00:34:51,382 --> 00:34:54,093
I questioned some of the nuns
at your convent.
489
00:34:54,176 --> 00:34:55,719
The ones you liked.
490
00:34:55,803 --> 00:34:59,932
- Not that there's such a thing as privacy.
- I shouldn't think so.
491
00:35:00,015 --> 00:35:01,767
They tell me that you like to ride
492
00:35:01,850 --> 00:35:05,062
and are fascinated by spiders,
which is strange,
493
00:35:05,145 --> 00:35:08,983
because they terrified you as a young girl
after one bit you on the leg.
494
00:35:09,066 --> 00:35:10,401
You can't possibly know that.
495
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:12,903
I'm a king, you know.
496
00:35:13,904 --> 00:35:17,157
And kings have a way of
knowing absolutely everything.
497
00:35:17,241 --> 00:35:18,659
[Scoffs]
498
00:35:27,668 --> 00:35:31,213
You have made a pledge
of two million livre.
499
00:35:31,839 --> 00:35:34,675
It's a hefty sum, sir, even for a duchy.
500
00:35:34,758 --> 00:35:38,095
No cost is too great
to honor my father's life.
501
00:35:38,178 --> 00:35:41,724
I see no reason to place the duchy
into the ground with your father.
502
00:35:42,599 --> 00:35:45,102
The title Duke de lintillac
503
00:35:45,811 --> 00:35:47,229
shall remain alive...
504
00:35:49,148 --> 00:35:50,357
As yours.
505
00:35:51,817 --> 00:35:55,279
I am touched beyond words, majesty.
506
00:35:56,822 --> 00:36:00,034
[Organ playing]
507
00:36:08,292 --> 00:36:10,294
You didn't tell me
the fishermen were so...
508
00:36:13,005 --> 00:36:15,299
- Handsome?
- Exactly.
509
00:36:18,635 --> 00:36:21,305
The creature seems to have recovered,
your majesty.
510
00:36:21,889 --> 00:36:24,141
It'll be in perfect health
for the ceremony.
511
00:36:31,023 --> 00:36:32,983
[Organ stops playing]
512
00:36:33,067 --> 00:36:34,735
Good servants of France,
513
00:36:34,818 --> 00:36:39,073
in the memory of the export baron
Pierre lintillac,
514
00:36:39,782 --> 00:36:43,452
who has found safe passage
to the kingdom of heaven,
515
00:36:43,535 --> 00:36:48,957
I present to you his son,
the future Duke de lintillac,
516
00:36:49,041 --> 00:36:51,960
whose title shall be bestowed by me
517
00:36:52,669 --> 00:36:56,965
in my supreme celebration
of the solar eclipse.
518
00:36:58,008 --> 00:36:59,426
For all France.
519
00:36:59,510 --> 00:37:01,553
[All] For all France!
520

[Laughing, chattering]
521
00:37:03,847 --> 00:37:07,017
One barracuda is gruesome enough.
522
00:37:07,101 --> 00:37:09,895
Ten will curdle your toes.
523
00:37:09,978 --> 00:37:13,649
We hit a pod of 300 big ones,
524
00:37:13,732 --> 00:37:17,444
meaner than a slamboon
of drunken musketeers.
525
00:37:17,528 --> 00:37:18,779
[Guests laughing]
526
00:37:18,862 --> 00:37:23,325
They were ramming the hull... bang!
Forcing us onto the rocks.
527
00:37:23,409 --> 00:37:26,870
And just as they were about
to tear through the planks...
528
00:37:26,954 --> 00:37:30,416
How frightening. Now you'll be telling us
you tore them apart with your bare teeth.
529
00:37:30,499 --> 00:37:31,708
[Guests chuckling]
530
00:37:31,792 --> 00:37:34,128

711
00:51:04,270 --> 00:51:07,941
There is something I must ask for
humbly, respectfully.
712
00:51:08,024 --> 00:51:12,195
But first,
permit me to ask something of you.
713
00:51:12,278 --> 00:51:14,113
Something for France.
714
00:51:14,197 --> 00:51:16,324
Anything, majesty. Even my life.
715
00:51:17,033 --> 00:51:19,953
[Chuckles]
It's something a little less drastic.
716

I want you to accept the hand

00:51:23,581 --> 00:51:26,918
of my daughter, Marie-josephe,
in marriage.

Good.
721
00:51:37,470 --> 00:51:41,349
Well, since you obviously
weren't listening at the door,
722
00:51:41,432 --> 00:51:43,101
you must be completely in the dark.
723
00:51:43,184 --> 00:51:44,269
Utterly.
724
00:51:47,063 --> 00:51:49,649

- Does she love lintillac?

Amlso...
727
00:51:57,448 --> 00:52:00,285

728
00:52:00,368 --> 00:52:01,828
It's worse.
729
00:52:02,412 --> 00:52:04,622
Your power is so complete,
730
00:52:05,707 --> 00:52:08,626
you're never allowed to care about anyone.
731
00:52:10,420 --> 00:52:12,380
And it's rather terrible.
732
00:52:15,758 --> 00:52:17,218
[Magali] What are you doing?
733
00:52:17,302 --> 00:52:18,502

I never knew I could feel like this.
735

[Giggles] Mademoiselle,
stars in your eyes become you.
736
00:53:22,075 --> 00:53:25,912
Father, something amazing has happened.
I was just coming to tell you.
737
00:53:25,995 --> 00:53:27,330
Later, little one.
738
00:53:28,122 --> 00:53:29,957
The king has asked to see you.
739
00:53:31,667 --> 00:53:33,503
You will step fonnard slowly...
740
00:53:35,088 --> 00:53:36,381
And quietly.
741
00:53:42,553 --> 00:53:45,139
Do you recall our conversation
in the garden?
742
00:53:46,057 --> 00:53:48,768
- About the woman of the fountain?
- Yes, of course.
743
00:53:48,851 --> 00:53:50,311
The only woman...
744
00:53:51,938 --> 00:53:54,232
You remind me so much of her.
745
00:53:55,191 --> 00:53:57,652
At times I think you are her.
746
00:53:59,487 --> 00:54:00,655
You are...
747
00:54:01,739 --> 00:54:03,866
The very spirit of your mother.
748
00:54:06,744 --> 00:54:08,830
- My mother?
- [Chuckles]
749
00:54:09,664 --> 00:54:12,458
She had a mind and spirit all her own.
750
00:54:14,377 --> 00:54:16,295
She was an individual.
751
00:54:19,549 --> 00:54:21,467
She was not made for court life...
752
00:54:23,511 --> 00:54:25,138
Any more than you are.
753
00:54:30,768 --> 00:54:34,313
She left for the convent
before I knew she was with child.
754
00:54:37,859 --> 00:54:40,319
She died giving birth.
755
00:54:47,535 --> 00:54:50,163
- You're my father.
- Yes.
756
00:54:54,459 --> 00:54:56,335
But I am a terrible man.
757
00:54:57,086 --> 00:54:59,380
A very selfish man.
758
00:55:00,465 --> 00:55:04,510
I've cared more for France
than about you or even her.
759
00:55:07,638 --> 00:55:08,931
Why are you telling me this?
760
00:55:09,015 --> 00:55:13,811
Because there are sacrifices
you must make for France.
761
00:55:14,979 --> 00:55:16,439
Sacrifices?
762
00:55:16,522 --> 00:55:18,649

765
00:55:23,362 --> 00:55:25,364
We need money, child.
766
00:55:25,448 --> 00:55:29,952
The young Duke, lintillac, his money.
767
00:55:30,036 --> 00:55:32,455
- When you marry him...
- No.No.
768
00:55:32,538 --> 00:55:34,832
I won't marry that man. I won't.
769
00:55:34,916 --> 00:55:37,251
You don't have to agree, child.
770
00:55:40,463 --> 00:55:42,423

had never been answered.

01:07:31,381 --> 01:07:35,260
I can scarcely believe I was so blind
as not to see this moment coming.
888
01:07:35,344 --> 01:07:38,722
You swim with her. You commune with her.
She is your pet.
889
01:07:38,805 --> 01:07:41,600
No! She is all but human.
890
01:07:41,683 --> 01:07:44,811
- She feels her life just as we feel ours.
- Maybe so.
891
01:07:46,104 --> 01:07:49,608
But you are the one
who has proven the doctor right.
892
01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:53,820
You think I want this
for my own immortality?
893
01:07:53,904 --> 01:07:56,448
France needs a leader who can protect her.
894
01:07:56,531 --> 01:07:58,742
This is ridiculous. This is murder!
895
01:07:58,825 --> 01:08:01,328
- Silence!
- Silence to you, father!
896
01:08:14,091 --> 01:08:15,926
Your wedding is today.
897
01:08:17,427 --> 01:08:18,845
Be ready.
898
01:08:23,350 --> 01:08:24,476

- [Bells pealing]
- [Chattering, murmuring]
900
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:39,658
Who's getting married today?
901
01:08:39,741 --> 01:08:42,327
Mademoiselle d'alembert
is to marry monsieur lintillac.
902
01:08:43,620 --> 01:08:45,706
Marie-josephe?
903
01:08:57,926 --> 01:09:02,264
Mademoiselle, you must calm down
and prepare for the wedding.
904
01:09:09,146 --> 01:09:13,025
Magali, please go call pere la chaise
to come hear my confession.
905
01:09:18,155 --> 01:09:20,699
You will do exactly
as you've been ordered,
906
01:09:21,658 --> 01:09:23,410
or you shall forfeit your life.
907
01:09:25,370 --> 01:09:26,663
Drain the water.
908
01:09:39,718 --> 01:09:43,096
Killing the mermaid
will damn his soul rather than save it.
909
01:09:44,097 --> 01:09:46,224
You're the only one who can stop him.
910
01:09:46,308 --> 01:09:48,060
- I can't.
- Yes, you can.
911
01:09:48,143 --> 01:09:50,812
No, I'm sorry. I... I've tried.
912
01:09:51,480 --> 01:09:53,190
The king has ruled for so long,
913
01:09:53,273 --> 01:09:56,985
he believes he has been given permission
by the almighty.
914
01:09:57,069 --> 01:09:59,988
Then free me from this chamber
so I may bid the mermaid farewell.
915
01:10:00,072 --> 01:10:03,408
- [Bell tolling]
- The king has forbidden further contact.
916
01:10:03,492 --> 01:10:05,619
Which is why I'm asking you.
917
01:10:05,702 --> 01:10:07,662
No, I'm begging you, father.
918
01:10:08,205 --> 01:10:09,956
Please help me.
919
01:10:11,333 --> 01:10:12,876
Forget what's proper,
920
01:10:13,585 --> 01:10:15,045
and do what's right.
921
01:10:18,799 --> 01:10:22,844
[Bell continues tolling]
922
01:10:22,928 --> 01:10:24,930
My reasons may be different from yours...
923
01:10:28,016 --> 01:10:30,185
But the mermaid must escape the king.
924
01:10:37,776 --> 01:10:40,445
No one will believe
you're going to a wedding...
925
01:10:42,030 --> 01:10:43,240
Dressed like that.
926
01:10:53,083 --> 01:10:55,752
[Sighs] My dearest magali...
927
01:10:58,004 --> 01:10:59,923
You have been a true friend.
928
01:11:01,425 --> 01:11:02,968
I will miss you greatly.
929
01:11:03,927 --> 01:11:05,470
I am frightened for you.
930
01:11:07,931 --> 01:11:09,766
Weren't you the one who taught me
931
01:11:10,851 --> 01:11:13,687
that a little trauma
can inspire greatness?
932
01:11:16,815 --> 01:11:18,191
I was just kidding.
933
01:11:30,954 --> 01:11:32,914
I'm taking the girl to confession.
934
01:11:32,998 --> 01:11:35,167
I have orders to hold her here
until the wedding.
935
01:11:36,001 --> 01:11:37,502
And you dare...
936
01:11:38,295 --> 01:11:41,214
Challenge me?
937
01:12:31,097 --> 01:12:34,893
[No audible dialogue]
938
01:12:39,272 --> 01:12:42,234
This is a kiss I always thought
I'd give to my father.
939
01:12:49,115 --> 01:12:51,201
God has graced you with wings.
940
01:12:53,787 --> 01:12:56,039
I only hope you know how to fly.
941
01:13:20,647 --> 01:13:22,065
- Secure the rope.
- Aye.
942
01:13:22,774 --> 01:13:24,025
Hoist the net.
943
01:13:25,986 --> 01:13:27,028
[Grunts]

[Sailor]
What? We haven't got all day.
945
01:13:31,866 --> 01:13:32,866
Benoit.
946
01:13:41,418 --> 01:13:43,003
You can't possibly be doing this.
947
01:13:43,086 --> 01:13:44,796
We do what he says.
948
01:13:44,879 --> 01:13:47,048
Whether we end up in the bastille
or married for money,
949
01:13:47,132 --> 01:13:48,133
we do as we are told.
950
01:13:48,216 --> 01:13:51,386
I would never let him sentence me.
Why would you?
951
01:13:52,762 --> 01:13:54,264
I swam with her last night.
952
01:13:54,347 --> 01:13:57,475
She conveyed to me
that you were her captor.
953
01:13:58,143 --> 01:14:00,604
Did you know you took her
from her child?
954
01:14:01,771 --> 01:14:05,150
- But you knew of her mate.
- Yes. And we set him free.
955
01:14:05,233 --> 01:14:08,695
Then you owe her the right to return
to whatever family she has left.
956
01:14:08,778 --> 01:14:10,363
And have my men face the gallows?
957
01:14:10,447 --> 01:14:11,948
I'm not asking them.
958
01:14:13,241 --> 01:14:14,868
I'm asking you.
959
01:14:14,951 --> 01:14:16,828
What makes your desire to sail the sea
960
01:14:16,911 --> 01:14:19,205
more important
than her right to live there?
961
01:14:19,831 --> 01:14:21,333
The king justifies everything.
962
01:14:21,416 --> 01:14:22,917
You mean your father.
963
01:14:24,085 --> 01:14:25,337
I mean the king.
964
01:14:26,713 --> 01:14:28,214
Are you no better than him?
965
01:14:29,257 --> 01:14:32,802
You said, "the king can't sentence me."
966
01:14:34,596 --> 01:14:35,930
Did you mean...
967
01:14:37,390 --> 01:14:40,644
I could never marry a man I do not love.
968
01:14:46,483 --> 01:14:48,568
Everybody out. Take the men.
969
01:14:48,652 --> 01:14:51,488
Head for the ships and set sail at once
for the cliffs of le havre.
970
01:14:52,072 --> 01:14:53,573
What about you two?
971
01:14:54,324 --> 01:14:56,201
Well, god willing, we will see you there.
972
01:15:01,915 --> 01:15:02,999
Let's go, men.
973
01:15:03,083 --> 01:15:05,460
You heard the captain.
Let's move.
974
01:15:07,629 --> 01:15:09,464
We are going to need to cross the bridge.
975
01:15:10,965 --> 01:15:12,842
You'll ruin your dress.
976
01:15:16,471 --> 01:15:17,514
So I will.
977
01:15:19,933 --> 01:15:21,893
- You will follow the directions I gave.
- Doctor?
978
01:15:22,352 --> 01:15:23,436
Yes?
979
01:15:24,437 --> 01:15:26,648
It's the girl. She's escaped.
980
01:15:38,034 --> 01:15:40,870
Her only chance is to go through
the underground river.
981
01:15:40,954 --> 01:15:42,789
At least it's swimming to her freedom.
982
01:15:52,590 --> 01:15:55,677
The water level is too low
for her to jump the retaining wall.
983
01:15:56,720 --> 01:15:59,055
Can't you drain the water
from the chateau into the pool?
984
01:15:59,639 --> 01:16:02,809
If we drain the canal and the fountains
all at once, it might work, but...
985
01:16:02,892 --> 01:16:04,144
[Marie-josephe] But what?
986

But if they do?
988
01:16:08,982 --> 01:16:12,652
There's a tributary before le havre
which will give safe harbor to the sea.
989
01:16:12,736 --> 01:16:14,320
Can you communicate that to her?
990
01:16:15,739 --> 01:16:17,323
She understands everything.
