[door closes]

13
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,320
I just saw a very pleasing
young man leave.

14
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,479
I'm happy to see you're keeping
your beautiful vitality.

15
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:44,840
You have received my letter?

16
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:47,160
I have, yes.

17
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:52,560
Tomorrow I'll be in Versailles
for the royal audience which concerns you.

18
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,479
And of course with your dear Gercourt.

19
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,280
[sighs] It's only theatrics, dear.

20
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,760
Gercourt and Castellet already
got the royal assent to do as they will.

21
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,639
Your title and your assets will be seized.

22
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,280
I'm not so interested in a show
where I know the ending already.

23
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,240
The spectacle's sure to be mediocre.

24
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,720
Even if, in this play,
the role of the surprise witness

25
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,600
and traitor's perfectly played by
a promising star.

26
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,920
I'll help you. I want to. You need it.

27
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:30,320
Some money.

28
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,040
Well, then our wonderful friendship
amounts to a sum of cash.

29
00:02:38,079 --> 00:02:42,120
[sighs] You have to trust me.
Go to London. Quickly as you can.

30
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,480
-But why not?
-I'll go to Versailles.

31
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,160
-That's not possible.
-I have to defend myself.

32
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,680
You've had the foresight to never even
think about betting against me.

33
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,200
-So keep it up.
-Just go now.

34
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,280
-Depart for London, quickly.
-[laughs]

35
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,200
I have dear friends who could help you.

38
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,400
Well, this will maybe get you settled in.

00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,400
-Alone for how long?
-It's a gift.

40
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,000
-You're a free woman.
-Merci.

[cultery clutters]

45
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,600
Madame de Volanges is here, Madame.
She's accompanied by a bailiff.

46
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,400
-Very well. Bring them in.
-It's just...

47
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,320
They haven't demanded your presence.

48
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,079
-Bonjour.
-Madame.

49
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,160
I didn't want to bother you
while you were eating supper.

50
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,000
Madame la Marquise, if you please.

51
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,440
-What are you doing?
-An inventory.

52
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,880
You know how much I cherished my brother.

53
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,120
His house is somehow a projection
of his spirit, still.

54
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:43,240
You understand, of course,
that I cannot allow you to ransack

55
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,760
his estate before you forever lose
your post and title.

56
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:51,640
I am Marquise de Merteuil,
and I will die Marquise de Merteuil.

57
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:52,880
You were always a whore.

58
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,200
You lived that way,
and you'll die that way.

59
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,160
How could my poor Cécile, my sweet,
fair girl, be completely fooled by you?

60
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,960
The Comte de Gercourt's intervention
with our good king

61
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,040
will help re-establish the truth.

62
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,920
You were never truly wed to my brother,
the Marquise de Merteuil.

63
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:16,160
You simply abused the confidence
of an old man who was far too good to you.

64
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,800
He was a lecher and fiend, your brother,

65
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,720
who appeared to think
I was some kind of beef.

66
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,960
I was married and ironed everything
in here,

67
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,680
to the pots all your dear servants
piss in. It's all mine.

69
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:35,760

-[door closes]
-Madame.

74
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,480
I just want to say adieu.
I heard you're going to Versailles.

75
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,000
You want to say adieu
and perhaps also discuss Cécile?

76
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,160
She's neither at her mother's nor
the Marquis de Merteuil's

77
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:15,600
who won't receive me.

78
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,760
If you have any idea where she could be...

79
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,160
Alas.

80
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,880
I am sorry. I cannot help you.

81
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,200
[Danceny] It's killing me.
I don't understand.

82
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,120
I've been told the Marquis de Merteuil
has trouble of late.

83
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:38,800
I wanted to help.
She decided to go a different way.

84
00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:42,960
And same as you.

85
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,280
There's a bitter taste now on my tongue.

86
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,680
I thought she was like me.

87
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,520
Isabelle's some other
kind of woman, though.

88
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,000
Full of rage, who won't be killed
without killing.

89
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,680
[Danceny] Your face seems veiled
by melancholy.

90
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:14,240
-Go on, young man. Leave.
-I forbid you to.

91
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,760
-Forbid, do you?
-Yes, I forbid you.

92
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,800
I won't allow you to not admire yourself
the way that I have done.

93
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:23,760
Look at yourself.

94
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,840
[tender, slow music playing]

95
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,920
This woman, she wasn't made to regret.

96
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,840
If Cécile heard you now speaking this way,
with such liberty,

97
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,960
she would say she's proud of you.

98
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,040
[breathing heavily]

99
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:13,600
[both sighing]

100
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,040
Forgive me. I'm sorry, Madame.

101
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,240
-Madame, I find you very...
-That'll do.

102
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,840
Madame, I am sorry.
All my thoughts are with Cécile.

103
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,679
Well, she's not at my house.

104
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,360
But you know where she is.

105
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,160
There's nothing I don't know
about my nephew.

106
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:56,880
Get out.

107
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,720
[door opens, closes]

108
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:23,560
[bell dinging]

109
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,680
Go prepare my transport. I want to go out.

110
00:09:33,680 --> 00:09:34,600
Yes, madame.

111
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,560
My dear Vicomte, I'm desperate.
I had to see you.

112
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,280
I beg you, go with me to Versailles.
Vicomte.

113
00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:51,360
I hope you do not find fault
in my inability to resist the urge

114
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:52,360
to see you today.

115
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,440
My dear Vicomte, I hope you've been well.
The situation is most perilous.

116
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,440
I worry I face ruin, humiliation,
destruction.

117
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:05,880
My dear Vicomte, my life is in your hands.
Oh, if you could please accompany me

118
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:07,040
to Versailles.

119
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,240
Only your presence will allow me
to be heard.

120
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,320
[upbeat, pulsing music plays]

121
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:32,000
[sighs]

122
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,960
-Bonjour, Cécile.
-Madame.

123
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,600
I had an awful conversation
with your aunt.

124
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,520
-I heard, yes.
-[Isabelle] She's right.

125
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,560
Alone in Versailles, I'm nothing.

126
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,200
-Go with me.
-[smirks]

127
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,320
I risk losing my wealth and my position.

128
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,480
I'd rather die than imagine you
in the street.

129
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,120
-So what do you defend me?
-Me, beg his majesty for my survival,

130
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:10,640
and that of my dearest friends?

131
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,040
Not if it's an exchange for my reputation.
I can't help you.

132
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,840
A man, a vicomte and so eloquent.

133
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,200
You would know how
to make yourself heard there.

134
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:22,120
No.

135
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,760
[Valmont] I was lucky to have been born
a man, a Vicomte.

136
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,720
A nephew of a wonderful aunt
who watches over me like an angel.

137
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,240
So I'll be spared.

138
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,080
Your position is more delicate,
I admit it.

139
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,440
I would love to help out. But how would I?

140
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,360
[Isabelle] I know you, Vicomte.
Now that we're alone,

141
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,160
let us cease these games
and just tell me what you want.

142
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:56,280
You.

143
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,040
Your hand. Everything.

144
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,400
It's ironic, but it's true.
Our salvation's in the Church.

145
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,720
Or more precisely, my friend,
Cardinal of the Church.

146
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,120
He won't refuse me.

147
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:19,120
He has the power to marry us.
And that would void our first union.

148
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,120
Even the King couldn't oppose it.

149
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,800
You'll perhaps excuse me
if I don't kneel for the proposal.

150
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,840
We know you've accepted already.

151
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,240
So you would have me once again?

152
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:38,480
[smirks]

153
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,040
[Valmont] It would be a fitting end
to our story.

154
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:48,120
I've begun writing it, actually.
I'd be grateful to hear what you think.

155
00:12:56,560 --> 00:12:57,800
[sighs]

156
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,480
So this is your version of it?
Ready to marry the one

157
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,400
she thinks is perfect and sublime?

158
00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:09,240
Our heroine says she's so in love
that she might die in ecstasy.

159
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,520
It's a bit contrived. Literature
should accentuate some aspects of life,

160
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:16,000
-so they're more meaningful.
-[object clattering]

161
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,080
-Watch out!
-[screams]

162
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:20,200
Valmont.

163
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:26,960
[Lucille] Chevalier, stop. I beg of you.

164
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,960
Watching you come to his aid
makes me even more committed.

165
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,000
Give me your weapon. Chevalier.

166
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,640
I don't know your role
in my downfall, madame, but--

167
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,800
If someone should pay, it's me.

168
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,440
I encouraged Lucille to do this
so as to perfect her education.

169
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,120
And now she's a free woman.

170
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,840
She has nothing to be ashamed of.
Especially not in front of you.

-[shuddering]

173

Go on, do it.

[screams] Do it!

175
00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:15,680
-Isabelle.
-Give me the gun.

176
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,160
[Danceny] No, mademoiselle.

177
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,240
Cécile, I love you. It's all I have.

178
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,280
When I first met you,

179
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,560
I believed to love you just meant
accepting you as you are,

180
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,240
not as I dream of you.

181
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,520
Not to perform any possessiveness,
but to just accompany you.

182
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,640
To belong to nobody
and to be glad about my state.

183
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,080
To learn to be as free as you.

184
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,080
Then you could love me a bit more.

185
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:54,480
But no.

186
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:57,560
I must protest, Mademoiselle.

187
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,920
My reason tells me to think this way,
but my whole body says my way of loving

188
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,680
is normal and fair.

189
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,920
Healthy and beautiful.

190
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,440
Why must I feel so alone though, if so?

191
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:25,360

-That clown.

194

196

-Are you really so afraid?
-Afraid of what?

197
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:18,840
You haven't listened to me.

198
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:24,040
Come on.

Here's everything. It's yours.

00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,360
I give you all my masks.

202
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:54,760
And this?

203
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,280
[Velmont] Read it, please.

204
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:58,680
I don't want to hide.

205
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,400
It's all yours now. I'll leave you to it.

206
00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:13,480
Are you asking me to believe you've become
someone else?

207
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,800
I took pleasure in seducing the wives

208
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,960
of the most powerful men in the kingdom.

209
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,680
There's plenty there
to have me killed if you wish.

210
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:31,640
Surprised by my recklessness?
You see, you've made me a clown.

211
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,920
That's just the role you were filling
when you first arrived at my workhouse.

212
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,960
Have you really been unable
to notice how I've changed?

213
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,400
How you've inspired me to change?

214
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:56,840
What are you doing?

215
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,920
I'm trying to warm your heart.

216
00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:16,280
It isn't too late.

217
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,320
But you will have to believe
I can be a new person as well.

Stay with me.

222
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:03,360
And marry me.

Are you okay?

229
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,440
What happened between you and Valmont?

230
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,160
-I beg you, say it.
-Danceny, please.

231
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,560
Don't lie to me. I want the truth.

232
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:23,680
You made love to him, but how often?

233
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:26,280
Tell me how often.

[door closes]

244
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:18,960
[Vicomte] My dear Aunt,

245
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:25,040
The game is coming to an end,
and I am the one winning.

246
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,680
Isabelle will come to me tonight.
She will marry me tomorrow.

247
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:36,920
She has no other choice.

248
00:24:41,360 --> 00:24:42,760
Isabelle has lost.

249
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,280
And that's what it took to make us happy.

250
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:48,560
To save her.

251
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,480
So I could finally say the simple words
I'd held back so long.

252
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:55,360
I love her.

253
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,760
I love her.

254
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,480
I find again I've got the bad roll.

255
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,080
How do you mean?

256
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:32,400
This letter.

257
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,520
Have you written it to me or to your aunt?
For her to read or me?

258
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:42,040
Then the marriage could be better secured,
which would in every single way

259
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,280
be your most perfect triumph.

260
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,280
You knew it. That I would call.

261
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,960
You knew it,
that I would be in need of you.

262
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,560
You readied the final blow.
That's of course very reasonable.

263
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:04,360
I have made you a monster.

264
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,120
I've got to go, my friend.

265
00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:22,840
I have to go to Versailles.

[door opens, closes]

[Isabelle] My dear Valmont.
My great Valmont. My Eternal.

269
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,360
I had until now seen Versailles
only through some pale etchings.

270
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,680
But I forbid myself emotion on arrival.

271
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,400
[door opens]

272
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,840
[indistinct chatter]

273
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,360
You and your aunt promised me the worst.

274
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,960
The situation was desperate.
My insolence made it worse still.

275
00:27:36,120 --> 00:27:37,480
But I had no fear.

276
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,320
Maybe I was enjoying my last steps
as a free woman.

277
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,640
[indistinct chatter]

278
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,040
But I dared to look the greatest
of kings in the face.

279
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:18,440
Your Majesty.

280
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,280
I was headed to the gallows,
certain of my destiny.

281
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,520
Yet the man I saw in front of me
was only a man among other men.

282
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:42,280
Your aunt was there,

283
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,320
playing a sinister role
that did not particularly suit her.

284
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,800
She who had taught me never
to open my heart.

285
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,000
Without her, I wouldn't be who I am.

[indistinct conversation]

287
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:17,080
At this great impostor's ball,
I fit in perfectly.

288
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:35,760
And I donned perhaps for the last time,
the costume of the Marquise de Merteuil.

289
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,560
The loving wife of a great warrior
in the service of the kingdom,

290
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,800
-and its influence across the Atlantic.
- [speaking indistinctly]

[tense tone plays]

292
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:13,120
Madame, I recognize a few virtues
particularly important to me in you.

293
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,840
Courage, without which you wouldn't have
dared come all this way here.

294
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,280
To Versailles. And passion.

295
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:27,920
A raw force that channeled at the service
of a just cause, is noble.

296
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:34,520
And vibrates. And then inspires.
It reveals even the saddest soul.

297
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,240
And of course, most importantly.

298
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,200
In you I detect the most gracious
of qualities.

299
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:58,520
-Sincerity.
-[scoffs]

300
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,720
Merci for coming to me.
Madame la Marquise.

301
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:07,320
Isabelle de Merteuil.

302
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:13,280
[gradually ascending intense tune]

303
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,320
[Isabelle] My love,
I would like to write here

304
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:38,040
that in that moment, I knew that
I had become essential to the kingdom,

305
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,760
that I had saved my title by convincing
the king to make me the equal

306
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,680
of his ministers,
the instrument of his will.

307
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:56,200
But what I saw in the eyes of this man,
King only by God's grace,

308
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,800
seemed of a much more
familiar nature to me.

309
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:08,280
Prince or slave,
all men are equal in the face of desire.

310
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,760
The next day, a steward came
to explain to me,

311
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,320
in excruciating detail
and concern for precision,

312
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,480
the role that was now going to be mine.

313
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:27,600
As the first courtesan of his majesty,
I will have to learn everything from him.

314
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,040
All his little habits
and his great appetites.

315
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,800
The king will be bored no longer.

316
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:49,200
My love.

317
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:56,560
