Fire until we reach the fort.

We're overrun!

Keep moving!

They took the hill!

Sergeant, keep your
men in formation!

Retreat! Retreat!

Come on, boys. Bring 'em in.

Take him into the yard.

General Washington says
to see him straightaway.

Who is he?

Some Frenchman.

Held the line at Brandywine
Creek is what I hear.

Fat lot of good
it did him. Or us.

You look hungry, messieurs.
I hope you do not eat me.

The gentlemen of England.
They honored me with a bullet.

Take this. Bite down hard.

Franklin.

He sustained mortal
wounds in fruitless battle

on the wild banks of
the Brandywine River.

Bad enough he had the audacity
to defy His Majesty's orders.

But to get himself killed?

That imbecile.

The marquis is said to have
arrived in Philadelphia

with a letter of recommendation
from Dr. Franklin.

Our friend in Passy
is a man of secrets.

Too many.

Perhaps...

Perhaps we can take the
attention off America

by using this to our advantage.

No.

Yes.

I thought the chevalier
d'Éon was banished for life.

A matter of state secrets.

The King has agreed to
let the chevalier return

and receive a pension for service
in His Majesty's dragoons.

So long as he... she... they...
agree not to bring up old grievances.

And promise to dress in
women's clothes at all times.

Is the chevalier a woman?

How's your English?

I've been told I speak
it reasonably well.

Good. You will severely
reprimand Dr. Franklin

for his participation in
Lafayette's illicit departure.

About which we have
no knowledge. Hmm?

Do we have no knowledge?

This is no time to discuss
whether we know what we know.

You've compromised His
Majesty's neutrality.

I simply granted the boy's
request. No disrespect was meant.

You sent a French officer
to die on American soil.

The British ambassador has
lodged a formal protest.

I mourn the marquis's
death with all of France.

Yet consider this,
Monsieur Gérard.

A promising young man cut
down in the fight for liberty.

What better advertisement
for our alliance?

The death of a headstrong
adventurer for a cause not his own

is not grounds for inspiration.

Is that Monsieur
Vergennes's position?

The foreign minister can have no position
on a matter of which he has no knowledge.

A good statesman sees nothing,
hears nothing, knows nothing.

Bon homme Richard. I
enjoyed it very much.

- Take me back!
- Monsieur Gérard...

Who had my printing
press smashed to bits?

It's unlawful to bring a
press into the country.

You are a honored guest who
would never break the law.

Therefore, no such
machine exists.

How could it be destroyed?

And what of me?

Do I exist? Or am
I unlawful too?

You exist in Passy,
Doctor. But not in Paris.

Let's go!

I suppose there's no point
in warning you again.

That I must forgo
drink and meat?

That I must seek pleasure
in small amusements?

Accept that which
I cannot alter?

Yes, I've never liked
an articulate patient.

Vergennes toys with me.

He will help us after we win.

But we cannot win
unless he helps us.

All I've actually accomplished is
sending a young fool to his death.

Y-You can't hold yourself
to account for that.

Boys like Lafayette will seek
their fate one way or the other.

Then God rest his soul.

You've salvaged
the press at least.

It's useless without the platen,
and those vandals left it in pieces.

Oh, have another fashioned.

The press is illegal. They'll
know if I try to fix it.

"They"?

Yes, "they" that looks at every
keyhole, that follows me wherever I go.

That sends coded messages to the
Paris police, the halls of Versailles,

the despots in Westminster.

My advice, which you will ignore,
is porridge and unsweetened tea.

Dip your brush very
lightly in the pigment.

An aquarelle should be transparent.
Like a pane of stained glass on paper.

I'll never be as good as you.

That is why we practice.

What does Dr. Franklin
think of your paintings?

I'm not painting for Dr. Franklin.
I'm painting for myself.

I'm sure he would admire them.

Dr. Franklin admires
everything about you.

I don't think Franklinet
would care about my paintings.

Who or what is Franklinet?

Monsieur Temple.

Because he's like his
grandfather, only smaller.

Do you have feelings for him?

I like teasing him.

It's very amusing to
see him get twisted up.

Don't overdo it.

Men have a way of
misunderstanding the intent.

You tease Dr. Franklin
all the time.

That is a game best
left to experts.

Pipou, shush.

I said shush!

We've forgotten the
malachite green.

Does it matter?

We can't possibly capture the
light on the leaves without it.

You'll find a packet
in the studio.

Right now?

Go fetch it.

And don't sulk.

And take Pipou with you.

When I'm married, I'm going to
tell everyone else what to do.

It makes me want to kill
Englishmen even more.

He came to my rooms...

The night he left for
Bordeaux, he came to my rooms.

You never told me.

Slipped through the window

in full regimental colors.

Sounds like Gilbert.

He had a sword made for
me. Specially for me.

When I told him I
wouldn't be coming

he took the blade and
broke it over his knee.

Another round!

Another round, please!

He was quite hopeless,
you know. So awkward.

Always so serious...

Remember that time he
danced with the queen?

- Gilbert danced with Marie Antoinette?
- Oui.

If you want to call it
that. It was more like...

Let's show him.
I'll play the queen.

Come on.

- Go ahead.
- Minuet!

Philippe, allez.

I shall dance with you no more,
Marquis. You are too clumsy!

To Gilbert.

To the marquis.

To the marquis de Lafayette.

The marquis de Lafayette!

My friend. Come with me.

Now.

Go search the park!

I will send for the constable.
We will search all the roads.

You must not worry.

- Temple! Dear boy. Where are you?
- Monsieur Temple!

Temple! Temp...

Grandfather?

I...

I was at the Épée
de Bois, drinking.

With Jacques?

No, with Philippe and Louis.

The comte de Ségur and
the comte de Noailles.

I don't believe I've had the
pleasure of their acquaintance.

They are the finest
fellows of France.

Except for Gilbert.

The marquis was a
brave young man.

- It's my fault he's dead.
- It is not.

I made you write the letter.
I sent him off. And...

Lafayette chose his own path.

Neither you, I, nor anyone
else could have stopped him.

I thought it would... I thought
it would help our cause.

These thoughts will
bring you nowhere.

Drop your anchor tonight. Set
a new course in the morning.

Don't Poor Richard me.

I beg your pardon?

All your handy little...

- Aphorisms.
- It's not how people are.

You're too young to
know how people are.

I know how you are.

I study you.

Saying one thing,
doing the other.

Always thinking you're clever
enough to get away with it.

I didn't realize that you
held me in such low regard.

How can you do it?

Do what, exactly?

Pretend my father doesn't exist.

While he sits in a jail cell. Your
own son. And you won't help him.

You are angry and
sorrowful and very drunk.

That's why you brought
me here, isn't it?

To make up for your
own selfishness?

A wife you ignored. A
daughter you barely know.

And you want me to
be just like you.

Temple, someday you may realize that
there are errata in every man's life.

- Things you wish you could erase.
- They're called sins.

No, they're not sins. They're
errors in judgment, and...

I've spent my life trying
to correct them. I still am.

Will you allow me that?

- When I was a boy your age, I...
- I don't care what happened to you.

Would you please slow down?

I can't. Too much to do.

Then why are we meeting?

How does it happen that
what passes at Versailles

is so quickly known in London?

Explain yourself.

Three ships sailed
from Le Havre.

Two were seized by the British less
than two days after leaving port.

Sweet blood of Christ.
That's five million livres.

Only the Amphitrite
eluded the enemy.

Arms, ammunition and
handkerchiefs for 30,000 men...

Handkerchiefs? I am
paying for handkerchiefs?

Blankets, clothes, shoes. Thousands
of muskets and kegs of powder

to defend Philadelphia
and New England.

Answer honestly. Were you
put on earth to bankrupt me?

Someone has betrayed us!

Only Beaumarchais,
yourself and Dr. Franklin

knew the date of
departure and the route.

Are you suggesting that Dr. Franklin
is a spy for the British?

Or me?

Or yourself?

Are you saying you
might be the traitor,

so I'll think you're not,
even though you really are?

Perhaps someone within your household,
or among Dr. Franklin's associates...

- Monsieur Beaumarchais...
- I know what you're going to say.

"Beaumarchais never stops!"

How can he, when every day new
subjects arouse his vigilance?

That is definitely not
what I was going to say.

Leave the investigation to me.

Inform Dr. Franklin of the losses,
but say nothing of our suspicions.

To anyone.

What about my money?

What about my money?

What of these?

They're ruined. Fit for
melting down. Nothing else.

The Amphitrite slipped the
net. It may yet find its mark.

To what end? The loss at Brandywine
opened the way to Philadelphia.

The arms and material on that
ship could yet tip the balance.

Many things could happen,
but most will not.

Be hopeful, friend.
Circumstances change.

He that lives on hope,
Mr. Bancroft, dies farting.

- You look miserable.
- That's honest at least.

You were not expecting
such honesty?

I've heard so very
little of it lately.

Then come ride with me,

and we'll do nothing but
be false with each other.

I fear I'll make poor company.

My dear papa.

If you hold me in any
affection, do please amuse me.

That man. In the blue hat.

What is his secret?

He is a fishmonger
with a family of six.

Once a week, he closes
his stall early.

Washes himself with
Castile soap and lemon.

He comes here to walk
about as a gentleman.

And yet, with each person that
passes, he nervously wonders...

Can they smell the fish?

Oh, it's so sad.

Then you pick.

Her.

Tell me.

She is... meeting a lover.

That simple?

It is never simple.

Oh, she's married.

Of course.

But that is not the concern.

She seeks something she
fears does not exist.

- What is it?
- A meeting of souls.

When nothing is said,
but all is understood.

So that two may be in harmony,

hiding nothing of themselves,
and so live in perfect bliss.

It sounds very chaste.

Not at all.

It is a passion greater
than a heart can bear.

And her lover?

What sort is he?

A man of many parts.

Plain on the face of it.

But always scheming
at something.

Rather a slippery fellow, hmm?

- That is what makes him interesting.
- I prefer my fishmonger.

Then you may have him.

I am floundering, madame.

I don't understand.

Mired. Muddied. Lost.

But why?

I cannot see the way forward.

I don't know who I can trust.

I'm here to help my country win its
freedom, but all doors are shut.

And time is running out.

I am not even allowed
to set foot in Paris.

And this gout is gonna
be the death of me.

I am very sorry.

These are my burdens. Not yours.

Nothing is easier than solving
someone else's problem.

And what is your solution?

For your country's
freedom, I have no answer.

For whom you may trust

you may trust me.

For your return to the
city, who would stop you?

You are a little
famous, I am told.

Not as famous as
the chevalier d'Éon.

Fashions change often in
France. You must not let them.

- And for the gout, no wine.
- No.

And no women.

You are a stricter physician
than even Mr. Bancroft.

One day you will
thank me for this.

I will thank you now.

Dear friend,

I ask if this "scheming man"

might have the opportunity...

- Dr. Franklin.
- To...

Of all the places...

- Dr. Franklin.
- Who's...

The Washerwoman of Auteuil.

Why haven't you paid a call yet?

What a delight that
we meet at last.

May I present my
neighbor, Madame Brillon?

I am familiar with
the widow Helvétius.

But she wishes she wasn't!

My house is only down the hill

from that pile of rocks Monsieur
Chaumont calls an estate.

You have no excuse.

I plead the duties
of office, madame.

Plead what you wish, but expect
an invitation to my next salon.

Bring along a guest.

A male guest. I don't
much like ladies.

Nothing but vulgar
gossips, don't you agree?

I...

They say I have the
manners of a washerwoman.

- No.
- Yes.

Madame, if the washerwomen of Paris
have the same manners as yourself,

then they have the
manners of a queen.

You're a randy old
liar, aren't you?

I like that. Farewell.

And you, madame.

Remember your gout.

Am I in heaven?

What?

Is... Is this Heaven?

It's Pennsylvania.

Even better.

He's alive!

He's alive?

They made him a
general! He's alive!

Alive, and a general!

Better he was dead. Now
he'll be intolerable!

He's alive!

Gilbert is alive!

He's alive!

Gilbert!

"I send you a few lines
here, dear heart."

- He was writing to his wife, not me.
- Thank you for the clarification.

"I must tell you that we fought in
earnest, but were not the victors.

The English honored me with
a musket ball in the leg,

but the wound is nothing, and
I hope you will not worry."

It says "dear heart" again.

"The battle will, I fear, have
unpleasant consequences for America."

And we must try to repair
the damage as best we can.

Let all my friends know
that I am in good health.

"I love you more than ever."

No "dear heart"?

I left that out.

And the point is?

That he was wounded and he's
a hero. You should publish it.

Aside from the fact that I have no means
of doing so, how does this help our cause?

A vainglorious child marches
into a battle we lost

and manages to be only
shot and not killed.

I can print it beside the
news that a dog bit a man.

Boy.

I'm glad he lives.

Give me the letter, and
I'll think of something.

Anything else that
you'd like to say?

No.

Very well then.

I'm summoned to your
office because...

Simply for a casual
conversation, my dear Necker.

I wanted a word...

If that word is "America",
I don't wish to hear it.

Unlike the marquis de Lafayette,

France cannot afford to purchase
glory at the cost of her fortune.

A British defeat will
ensure our prosperity.

And how would you have us pay for this
glorious triumph, Monsieur Vergennes?

I'm sure the royal treasurer

will be pleased to
tell me why we can't.

The king's creditors won't
stomach any further debt,

and raising taxes is out
of the question. Voilà.

Let George III
bankrupt his country

and save us the trouble
of bankrupting ours.

Is this the advice you
intend to render in council?

You are quite alone in your support
of the insurgents, Count Vergennes.

But I wish the best of
luck to you... and them.

What are we waiting for?

To be acknowledged.

By whom?

Anybody.

- All right. Go.
- Pardon?

You don't wish to be seen with
me, cruel master that I am. So go.

Go on.

Tired of country living, Doctor?

Do you intend to clap me in irons
for leaving Passy, Lieutenant?

Please. Who would
dream of such a thing?

No doubt you have more pressing
matters. Like reading my mail.

I have assistants for that.

What a lot of fuss, eh?

You don't care for the opera?

I'm only here because
my wife dragged me.

She just wants to gawk
at the chevalière d'Éon.

Can't blame her, really.

And here is the
lady you so admire.

Don't make too
late a night of it.

Doctor, you shame us all
with your simplicity.

Madame, you dazzle like the
sun after a spring rain.

I think my head may fall off.

I will catch it.

Mon Cher, make sure
people notice you.

Guide me to the next
circle of hell, my Virgil.

You probably don't even
want to talk to me now,

with all your famous friends.

How exciting to
know a real hero!

Gilbert? I'm just
glad he's alive.

Gilbert?

That's his name.

For you.

I only tease people I like.

You won't get anywhere
with her, you know.

What do you mean?

I've been around girls
like that my whole life.

Everything is a performance.

They can't help it. It's all
they've ever been taught to do.

Well, she's not like that.

Has she given you
a funny nickname?

Kissed you on the
cheek and run away?

Sent you teasing little notes?

Oh, yes. And the locket.

One night you'll come along with
me. We'll go someplace real.

Behold the great mystery.

What?

Jacques says that the
chevalier is really a man,

but I wagered that she only wears
men's clothes as a disguise.

What's this about a wager?

No.

As an ouverture in
tonight's performance,

Beaumarchais has the
pleasure to welcome back

a loyal subject of France.

A decorated officer who
served the late king,

I give you the chevalière
Charles-Geneviève-Louise.

Auguste-Andrée-Timothée
d'Éon de Beaumont.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Sons and daughters of France.

I kiss the ground
of our homeland,

from which I have been
separated for too long.

I am honored tonight to be in the
presence of another true patriot.

I speak, of course, of
Dr. Benjamin Franklin.

In the last war, our
countries were enemies.

I hope they will soon be
united against England.

My arms in the cause of
America are at your service.

The chevalière is most generous.

And I am humbled

that such a brave soldier of France
would offer assistance to our cause.

Should her sword be required...

I would

gladly seize the...

He wants to seize her sword!

They might as well have
sat me in the kitchen.

Maybe next time you should wear a
dress. That will get you noticed.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Chevalière.

I give you a toast.

To the city of Philadelphia.

Taken this 26th of
September by General Howe.

God save King George.

What did he say?

The English have conquered
the American capital.

Look at Chaumont.

He's shitting his breeches.

You have it backward,
Mr. Stormont.

Philadelphia has
taken General Howe.

You have it backward,
Mr. Stormont.

Philadelphia has
taken General Howe.

Well played, Dr. Franklin!

Doctor.

Chevalière.

I hope you'll forgive
my misspeaking.

Did you misspeak?

I do have a sword, and I
have had occasion to use it.

Well, you must be
pleased to return home.

We shall see. Everywhere I have
had to battle for my reputation.

I've been called a
traitor and worse.

I've been outlawed and exiled.
And I also have been mocked.

I confess, I... I take
it more poorly than most.

There's a pride in me that
I sometimes think unseemly.

In me as well, Doctor.

And that is why I will never let
them defeat me. No matter what.

Chevalière,

may I ask, purely in the
spirit of knowledge...

What am I?

I am

a fact... that does
not yet have a name.

Careful.

How on earth...

Let's say that Monsieur Chaumont
isn't the only smuggler in Passy.

Mon Dieu, we are nothing
but a band of criminals.

Anyway, you've got
your press back.

I have got my voice back.

It is worth opening
a bottle for, no?

As good excuse as any.

- With my doctor's permission.
- Your doctor says, "No." But...

I suppose your
friend says, "Yes."

One moment.

Why not?

Temple, come raise
a glass with us.

There's cause to celebrate.

Grandfather!

Jacques... Jacques was just

showing me something.
What's it called?

It means something funny.

I know what it means. May I see?

I welcome a good jest.

HERE IS MY SWORD, DOCTOR

This is poorly printed.

- Oh, yes.
- It really doesn't mean anything.

- Of course not.
- He's right, Dr. Franklin.

You should see what they
show the queen doing

with a woman.

- A horse...
- In this country, vice is immaterial.

But ridicule... is fatal.

I didn't draw it.

Someone's here.

Sir.

My name is Jonathan Austin.

I've lately sailed from Boston

and ridden all night from Nantes
with news from the Congress.

I'm charged to inform you...

We have lost Philadelphia.

Well, yes, but...

And what else?
Charleston? Baltimore?

Washington's dentures?

Just come out with it,
you bucket-headed lobcock.

We've broken them at Saratoga.

General Burgoyne's
army is taken.

The whole army?

6,000 men. The field is ours.

Let's all have that drink.

Haven't we missed the play?

We are here for a
private performance.

No silver lockets tonight.

Understand?

Look who it is.

Good evening, Monsieur Jacques.

Good evening, Monsieur Chaumont.

Monsieur Jacques! Why weren't
you in the audience tonight?

Don't you favor us anymore?

The cares of the world,
my little cabbages.

Let us relieve you of them.

If only it were that simple.

Who's this little kitten?

He's no kitten. He's a
lion, ready to pounce.

What's your name,
oh, king of animals?

Temple.

But I've come to worship you.

I'm going to put him in
a crib and take him home!

Onward.

Can we stay here?

These are mere mortals, my friend.
We are going to meet a goddess.

Is it you?

Who else would it be?

I opened in Marivaux tonight.
And you couldn't be bothered.

I'll never forgive myself.

A Spanish count came back after the
show and offered me half of Naples.

In exchange for what?

It was open to negotiation.

How ashamed I am that I
only brought you this.

You brought a servant?

I brought a friend.

Dr. Franklin unfortunately
threw our plans awry.

Well, London will
be most displeased.

Especially with the
news of Saratoga.

What good can it really do? Versailles
would rather he just went away.

What else?

Well, I mean, he's already at
loggerheads with the boy again.

- It never takes long.
- Can't we use that?

His father is a weak point.

I'll think on it.

Better off with
pounds, you know.

Harder to spend here.

Easier to cover your losses
to the Royal Stock Exchange.

You'll hear from me
again. The usual method.

- Bancroft?
- Yes?

Would you consider yourself
an Englishman or an American?

I was unaware that there
was any difference.

What's the matter, kitten?

Were you banished from paradise?

Just bored.

Let's see if we can
spark your interest.

Come on, little
lion. I won't bite.

Unless you want me to.

VICTORY AT SARATOGA -
THE ENGLISH SURRENDER

LAFAYETTE THE HERO
