This programme contains some violent scenes. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:09 | |
Good morning, Sire. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:33 | |
It is time. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:35 | |
Of course. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
Any news? | 0:00:43 | 0:00:44 | |
A messenger arrived during the night, Sire. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
The ship carrying Her Highness left Calais | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
the day before yesterday in clement conditions. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
All being well, she will have arrived in Dover by now. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
Was I wrong to send her? | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
I believe His Majesty always does what he considers best for France. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
And if she does not return? | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
She will return, Sire. Of that, I'm certain. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
A letter for me? | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
From the King of Sweden, Sire. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
Open it and tell me what it says. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
The king has agreed to break his alliance with the Dutch | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
and support us. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
Good. Now all we need is England at our side. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
What word of the prisoner, the one who tried to kill Her Highness? | 0:01:42 | 0:01:46 | |
Monsieur Marchal is questioning him, Sire. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
Tell Marchal I wish to see him. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
Yes, Sire. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:52 | |
# I was the king of my own land. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:13 | |
# Facing tempests of dust | 0:02:17 | 0:02:21 | |
# I'll fight until it's the end | 0:02:21 | 0:02:26 | |
# Creatures of my dreams raise up and dance with me | 0:02:30 | 0:02:35 | |
# Now and forever | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
# I'm your king. # | 0:02:48 | 0:02:57 | |
HE SHOUTS | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
Just so you know where you are. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
Well, then. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
Who gave you the orders to kill her? | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
I don't know. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:51 | |
How did he contact you? | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
I forget. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
Did you know that if you drive a spike | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
through a precise spot in the skull, | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
the victim will retain his capacity for thought and speech, | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
but will otherwise be paralysed for the remainder of his life? | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
I... | 0:04:23 | 0:04:24 | |
Yes? | 0:04:24 | 0:04:25 | |
I never saw him. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:30 | |
He left me a note, always in a different place. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
What did you do before entering my police force? | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
I worked in a tavern. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
Do you know who William of Orange is? | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
No. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:00 | |
Are you scared? | 0:05:00 | 0:05:01 | |
Of what? | 0:05:01 | 0:05:02 | |
Do you visit him, or does he come to France? | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
Who? | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
William of Orange. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:07 | |
I tell you, I don't know him. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:08 | |
-Where was this tavern? -In the south. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
You should be scared. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:12 | |
Of what? | 0:05:12 | 0:05:13 | |
-Does he give you money? -Who? | 0:05:13 | 0:05:14 | |
-William of Orange. -I'm telling you, I don't know who he is. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:18 | |
I've never even been to Holland. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
I never said he came from Holland. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:25 | |
You did, though, didn't you? | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
The king would like to see you. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:34 | |
Immediately. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
Don't take your eyes off him, | 0:05:55 | 0:05:56 | |
don't talk to him and don't give him anything. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
Welcome home, Your Highness. How was your journey? | 0:06:06 | 0:06:08 | |
Pleasant enough. Thank you. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
I apologise in advance. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
The castle is a little chilly at this time of year. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:14 | |
Is it just His Majesty that I shall be seeing? | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
No, the Lords Arlington and Arundell will also be in attendance. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
Would it be possible for me to see His Majesty | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
before the official discussions begin, in private? | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
I fear not, Your Highness. That would be most irregular. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
Hmm. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
Of course. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:32 | |
I was not made for this. I do not have the courage. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
You will find the courage in the doing of it, Your Highness. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:47 | |
Is something amiss, Your Highness? | 0:06:47 | 0:06:49 | |
Not at all. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:52 | |
His Majesty is in conference with his advisors | 0:07:03 | 0:07:06 | |
and will be with you shortly. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:08 | |
Thank you. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:09 | |
Where is Monsieur Marchal? The king wishes to see him. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
Already gone, sir. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:49 | |
So, that is the traitor? | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
But Monsieur Marchal told us... | 0:07:59 | 0:08:01 | |
If I had my way, I would have you hung, drawn and quartered. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:06 | |
How gruesome. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:10 | |
What is this for? | 0:08:13 | 0:08:14 | |
That is for killing people. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:17 | |
Killing people? | 0:08:19 | 0:08:20 | |
Sir, please. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
Killing them thus? | 0:08:22 | 0:08:24 | |
A guard is expecting you by the laundry room. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
He will show you how to get out. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
You will visit our mutual friend in Paris | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
and tell him I want the 20 best men he has at his disposal. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:43 | |
You will take them to the usual place and wait for my instructions. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:47 | |
Thank you. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
Minette! | 0:08:57 | 0:08:58 | |
Oh-ho! | 0:08:58 | 0:09:00 | |
My dear younger sister. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | |
Brother. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:05 | |
Last time I saw you, | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
you were scared there was a ghost hiding under your bed. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
I hope you got rid of it. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
I come not as your sister, but as an emissary of France. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:20 | |
I see. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:21 | |
Well, no matter. I am pleased to see you. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:27 | |
Now then, down to business. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:31 | |
Sir William has outlined your king's proposals, | 0:09:31 | 0:09:34 | |
and I fear I cannot accept them in their entirety. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
He seems to see England as a small and insignificant neighbour | 0:09:38 | 0:09:42 | |
with no ambitions of its own. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
He wishes us to stand by while he invades Holland | 0:09:44 | 0:09:48 | |
and steals their trade. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:49 | |
This is unacceptable. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:52 | |
He proposes to aid us in our relations with the Pope, | 0:09:52 | 0:09:56 | |
but with what guarantee? | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
In short, | 0:09:59 | 0:10:00 | |
his proposals lean too heavily in France's favour. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:06 | |
How much do you want? | 0:10:22 | 0:10:24 | |
I beg your pardon? | 0:10:25 | 0:10:27 | |
You are bankrupt. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:30 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
Oh, what a charming thought! | 0:10:33 | 0:10:35 | |
Six years ago, the city of London was struck by plague. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:39 | |
Two years later, it was destroyed by fire. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:44 | |
You are bankrupt, but prefer not to admit it. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
I ask again. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:51 | |
How much? | 0:10:53 | 0:10:54 | |
This is really not how one conducts these matters. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:59 | |
It is how I conduct them. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:00 | |
My dear sister... | 0:11:02 | 0:11:03 | |
I prefer you to address me as Your Highness. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:06 | |
We had in mind something in the region | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
of half a million per month for a year. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
In return... | 0:11:22 | 0:11:24 | |
300 per month for six months. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:25 | |
One can do so little with 300,000 crowns. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
Furthermore, we will provide you with | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
a personal armed guard of 5,000 men. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
A personal guard? Whatever for? | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
To protect your head, brother. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
You are certain that William of Orange is behind the conspiracy? | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
Without doubt, Sire. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:48 | |
And you believe you can extract the truth from the prisoner? | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
I will extract all that he knows, Sire. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
However, it is unlikely he knows everything. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
His masters would ensure that he knows only what is necessary. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:03 | |
I wish to speak to him myself. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
Guard every exit! | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | |
Form a search party. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:31 | |
Send men to every tavern and whorehouse in the village. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:34 | |
Alert our agents in Paris and Orleans. Now! | 0:12:34 | 0:12:36 | |
This is unfortunate. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:48 | |
For me because I am no longer safe in my own home. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:52 | |
For France because William of Orange will soon be wearing her crown, | 0:12:52 | 0:12:56 | |
and for my head of security because it's not the first time he's failed | 0:12:56 | 0:13:01 | |
in his duties, and he no longer has the trust of his employer. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
While it is true, Sire, | 0:13:19 | 0:13:21 | |
that I consider Monsieur Marchal to be driven more by violence | 0:13:21 | 0:13:24 | |
than by reason, I do believe him to be a man of trust and duty. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:28 | |
He has failed me. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
He has, Sire. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:31 | |
But believe me, without him, Your Majesty would not be alive today. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
On reflection, I am willing to accept His Majesty's offer. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:53 | |
You will return to France with the treaty signed. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
I am gratified to hear it. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:58 | |
You are sure I can trust him, Minette? | 0:13:58 | 0:14:01 | |
Of course. You share the same ambitions. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:05 | |
I hardly think so. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
Louis wishes to place himself at the centre of the universe. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:12 | |
I do not. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:13 | |
He wants to be known by posterity as a great king. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
Not you? | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
No. My ambitions are more modest. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:20 | |
I wish to be known as a king who did no harm to anyone. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:24 | |
How thoughtless of me. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:27 | |
I forgot to ask how you were. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | |
I am well, thank you. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 | |
Do you miss England? | 0:14:31 | 0:14:33 | |
I miss my brother, | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
when he is not trying to humble his sister. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:38 | |
The sun is the centre, | 0:14:40 | 0:14:43 | |
the heart, | 0:14:43 | 0:14:45 | |
the mother of the universe. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:47 | |
Without its warmth and light, all life is gone. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:52 | |
Man will cease to exist. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:54 | |
One could almost believe he was talking about you. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
Perhaps you could apply the same technique of measurement for France? | 0:15:00 | 0:15:04 | |
The topography of France is already begun, Sire. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
Splendid! | 0:15:07 | 0:15:08 | |
Let us hope we did not exaggerate the extent of our possessions. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:11 | |
I regret, Sire, the preliminary results indicate | 0:15:11 | 0:15:15 | |
that France is not so big as we thought. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:19 | |
You mean to take away, with your calculations, | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |
the lands I gained in war in the Spanish Netherlands? | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
No-one can argue with the truth, Sire, not even a king. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:33 | |
I bow before the power of scientific truth. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:49 | |
Brother. | 0:15:57 | 0:15:58 | |
I confess to being disappointed in you. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
Why? | 0:16:09 | 0:16:11 | |
I asked you to take charge of court etiquette. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:13 | |
You promised to think about it. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
Your thinking seems to have led nowhere. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:17 | |
You know that your proposition does not interest me in the least. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:20 | |
It was not really a proposition. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:22 | |
I suggest you think about it again | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
in the hope that this time your thinking bears fruit. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:28 | |
Her Highness is expected to return tomorrow, Sire. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
I'm relieved to hear it. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:37 | |
As am I. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:40 | |
I remember you were always good at cards when we were children. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:49 | |
I cheated, but you never noticed. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:51 | |
Now he tells me. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:52 | |
Of course, you wouldn't dare to cheat now. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
Oh, I fear I don't need to. | 0:16:57 | 0:16:59 | |
His Majesty scores 88 points. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:03 | |
Lord Rohan, 103. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:06 | |
His Majesty owes Lord Rohan 25,000 francs. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
Another? | 0:17:09 | 0:17:10 | |
Very well. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
Yes? | 0:17:15 | 0:17:16 | |
My men have searched the palace, | 0:17:20 | 0:17:22 | |
the village and the surrounding area without success, Sire. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:26 | |
The prisoner has no doubt long departed. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
I owe you two million francs, my friend. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
You will receive your money in the morning. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:37 | |
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm a little weary. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
My King, I... | 0:18:40 | 0:18:41 | |
Sire, it is by no means certain that we have two million francs | 0:18:41 | 0:18:47 | |
here at the palace. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:49 | |
Then my reign will have been a lot shorter than I would have liked. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:52 | |
Please, allow me to recoup your losses, Sire. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:58 | |
Should you succeed, you'll know where to find me. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:02 | |
KNOCK ON DOOR | 0:19:39 | 0:19:41 | |
I believe this was what was used to poison your father and me. | 0:19:56 | 0:20:02 | |
Where did you find it? | 0:20:06 | 0:20:08 | |
In a lady's dress. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:10 | |
It is without doubt a poison. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:37 | |
Oleander. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:41 | |
Do you know the person who made this? | 0:20:46 | 0:20:49 | |
All too well. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:50 | |
DOOR OPENS | 0:20:55 | 0:20:58 | |
Sorry to disturb you, Sire, but Madame insisted on seeing you. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:06 | |
Thank you. Please leave us. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:08 | |
Am I still king? | 0:21:19 | 0:21:21 | |
Still king, still my master. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:24 | |
How did you subdue your enemy? | 0:21:26 | 0:21:28 | |
By playing a silly little girl, | 0:21:28 | 0:21:30 | |
and by using my feminine wiles, | 0:21:30 | 0:21:32 | |
and by being better than him. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:35 | |
Feminine wiles? | 0:21:36 | 0:21:38 | |
I'm jealous. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:40 | |
No reason. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:43 | |
Perhaps you should use them on me. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:48 | |
Your wish is my command. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:53 | |
I can't remember the last time I was actually hungry. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
What did the king mean about etiquette? | 0:22:18 | 0:22:22 | |
Some harebrained idea of his to make me look a fool. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |
He wishes me to draw up a list of rules | 0:22:27 | 0:22:29 | |
telling people how to behave at court. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:31 | |
He wants to turns us all into puppets. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:35 | |
Is it such a bad idea? | 0:22:37 | 0:22:39 | |
Yes. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:40 | |
I think it's possible you underestimate your brother, | 0:22:40 | 0:22:45 | |
and may potentially allow envy to blind you to his talents. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:51 | |
I do not underestimate him at all. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
I merely see him as he really is. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:55 | |
What better way to keep everyone under control | 0:22:55 | 0:22:58 | |
than by dictating their every word and movement? | 0:22:58 | 0:23:00 | |
It's brilliant. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:02 | |
If you say so. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:04 | |
Besides, you cannot ignore the fact that he gave me back to you. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:07 | |
You mean I'm indebted to him. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:11 | |
Yes, my dear. It must be torture for you. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:17 | |
What are you doing? | 0:23:22 | 0:23:24 | |
Getting paper and a quill. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:27 | |
What for? | 0:23:27 | 0:23:28 | |
My darling, we are going to turn the nobles of Versailles | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
into obedient servants. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:33 | |
From now on, everyone will know how to be from dawn till dusk. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:37 | |
How to walk, how to talk, | 0:23:37 | 0:23:40 | |
how to address a man, how to address a woman, | 0:23:40 | 0:23:42 | |
how to sit, where to sit. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
How to behave in front of the king. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:50 | |
And you, my stallion, will be the master of ceremonies. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:53 | |
You're mad. | 0:23:56 | 0:23:57 | |
Let's be mad together. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:02 | |
With your permission, Sire, I will deal with her as I see fit. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:11 | |
You would have her tortured? | 0:24:12 | 0:24:14 | |
No, I fear that would bring her more pleasure than pain. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:19 | |
And the daughter? | 0:24:26 | 0:24:28 | |
If she were involved in the plot, Her Highness would be dead. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:34 | |
Everywhere I look, I see the hand of William of Orange. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:37 | |
He seeks to undermine our alliance with England, weaken our position. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:40 | |
Perhaps this failure will put an end to his efforts. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:44 | |
On the contrary. It will only encourage him to go further. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:48 | |
William of Orange, Your Majesty. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:04 | |
I understand a ship sporting French colours left port a few days ago. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:23 | |
Yes, I believe a cargo of wine and cheese | 0:25:25 | 0:25:28 | |
recently arrived on our shores. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:30 | |
From what I am told, its cargo was never destined for a banquet. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:33 | |
Well, I shall make some enquiries if it bothers you so. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:37 | |
No need for that. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:39 | |
I should merely like to know what the King of France's | 0:25:39 | 0:25:41 | |
sister-in-law was doing here. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:43 | |
She was visiting her brother. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:47 | |
Do brothers and sisters not visit each other in Holland? | 0:25:47 | 0:25:51 | |
You see, if I were in Louis' shoes, and I wanted to attack Holland, | 0:25:52 | 0:25:55 | |
the first thing I would do is approach her allies. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:58 | |
I would tell Sweden to turn a blind eye | 0:25:58 | 0:26:01 | |
and I would try to convince England to join me. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:03 | |
And what would I offer them in return? | 0:26:05 | 0:26:06 | |
Money. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:08 | |
And whom would I send? | 0:26:10 | 0:26:11 | |
A seasoned diplomat? Perhaps. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:13 | |
Or perhaps someone very close to the King of England. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:16 | |
Someone he would naturally trust. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:20 | |
Your argument would carry much weight, | 0:26:22 | 0:26:25 | |
but for one glaring weakness. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:27 | |
Which is? | 0:26:27 | 0:26:28 | |
Would I join forces with Louis and attack the Dutch | 0:26:28 | 0:26:33 | |
if I was about to propose a marital alliance to the man | 0:26:33 | 0:26:37 | |
who will soon be King of Holland? | 0:26:37 | 0:26:39 | |
I... I don't understand. | 0:26:40 | 0:26:42 | |
I don't believe you've met your first cousin, | 0:26:56 | 0:26:59 | |
my niece, Mary, before. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:01 | |
No. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:02 | |
It is an honour. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:05 | |
Mary is looking for a husband, and you, I believe, a wife. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:11 | |
Where in the south do you come from, Sophie? | 0:27:20 | 0:27:22 | |
Uh, near Pau, Your Highness. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:24 | |
Do you miss it? | 0:27:25 | 0:27:27 | |
No. My place is here. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:29 | |
You are seduced, perhaps, by dreams of a good marriage, | 0:27:29 | 0:27:33 | |
power, fortune, | 0:27:33 | 0:27:35 | |
perhaps even a place next to the king. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:38 | |
Well, uh... | 0:27:38 | 0:27:40 | |
Don't worry. We all are. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:43 | |
Beware, Sophie. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:49 | |
You live in the most exciting place in the world, | 0:27:49 | 0:27:52 | |
but it is easy to lose yourself in it. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:55 | |
The most important thing of all is to belong. | 0:27:56 | 0:27:59 | |
Do you not belong at Versailles, Your Highness? | 0:28:01 | 0:28:03 | |
Does His Majesty know of this? | 0:28:26 | 0:28:27 | |
It was His Majesty's idea. | 0:28:27 | 0:28:29 | |
I see. | 0:28:30 | 0:28:32 | |
We rely on you to transmit this information to every noble | 0:28:33 | 0:28:36 | |
in the palace. | 0:28:36 | 0:28:38 | |
And anyone who is seen transgressing the rules of etiquette | 0:28:38 | 0:28:42 | |
shall be sanctioned. | 0:28:42 | 0:28:44 | |
I fear they may balk at such an imposition on their daily lives. | 0:28:48 | 0:28:52 | |
Sooner or later, even the wildest horse accepts the halter. | 0:28:52 | 0:28:56 | |
Very well. | 0:28:58 | 0:29:00 | |
We now have a base for supplies and munitions | 0:29:06 | 0:29:09 | |
in Dunkirk, Courtray, Lille, | 0:29:09 | 0:29:11 | |
Brisach, Pignerol, Metz and Thionville. | 0:29:11 | 0:29:13 | |
Enough for how long? | 0:29:14 | 0:29:16 | |
For a six-month campaign, Sire. | 0:29:16 | 0:29:18 | |
Very good. | 0:29:19 | 0:29:21 | |
Start preparing the troops. | 0:29:21 | 0:29:23 | |
Already, Sire? | 0:29:23 | 0:29:24 | |
I want them in uniform and ready for battle by the spring. | 0:29:27 | 0:29:30 | |
Very well, Sire. | 0:29:30 | 0:29:31 | |
Thank you, Sire. | 0:29:42 | 0:29:44 | |
It is not customary for a monarch to perform the tasks of a servant. | 0:29:44 | 0:29:48 | |
We are all servants of France, are we not? | 0:29:49 | 0:29:51 | |
How was England? | 0:29:54 | 0:29:55 | |
Cold. | 0:29:55 | 0:29:56 | |
I've never been to England, but I am told it rains perpetually | 0:29:58 | 0:30:01 | |
and its inhabitants are forever apologising. | 0:30:01 | 0:30:04 | |
I'm sorry for contradicting His Majesty, but that is a myth. | 0:30:04 | 0:30:08 | |
Hello, Mother! | 0:30:51 | 0:30:52 | |
Hello, dear! | 0:30:52 | 0:30:53 | |
Mother, Her Highness has promised to present me to the Duc de Quercy. | 0:30:53 | 0:30:57 | |
-Oh! -She says he may be a good match. Can you imagine? | 0:30:57 | 0:31:01 | |
-Me, a duchess! -I thought you were in love with a builder. | 0:31:01 | 0:31:04 | |
You told me to forget him, remember? | 0:31:05 | 0:31:08 | |
And what on earth are you doing? | 0:31:09 | 0:31:11 | |
I've lost a brooch! | 0:31:11 | 0:31:12 | |
-No, there's something wrong, Mother. What is it? -No, nothing! | 0:31:12 | 0:31:16 | |
And what's the news of our situation? | 0:31:19 | 0:31:22 | |
I believe our situation's about to be resolved. | 0:31:22 | 0:31:24 | |
Well, if I marry a duke, we will be safe, will we not? | 0:31:24 | 0:31:26 | |
Yes, but never forget where we're from. | 0:31:26 | 0:31:29 | |
Mother, the day we left, you wished me a happy trip to England. | 0:31:32 | 0:31:37 | |
How did you know I was going to England? | 0:31:37 | 0:31:40 | |
Oh, you know, court gossip. | 0:31:40 | 0:31:42 | |
You're hiding something from me. I know it. | 0:31:42 | 0:31:46 | |
If I'm hiding anything from you, it's for a good reason. | 0:31:46 | 0:31:51 | |
The two kings will declare war | 0:31:54 | 0:31:55 | |
against the United Provinces of Holland. | 0:31:55 | 0:31:58 | |
The King of France will attack them by land | 0:31:58 | 0:32:00 | |
and will receive the help of 6,000 men from England. | 0:32:00 | 0:32:04 | |
The King of England will send 50 men of war to sea, | 0:32:04 | 0:32:07 | |
and the King of France, 30. | 0:32:07 | 0:32:09 | |
His Britannic Majesty will be content to receive Walcheren, | 0:32:09 | 0:32:13 | |
the mouth of the Scheldt, | 0:32:13 | 0:32:14 | |
and the isle of Cadzand as his share of the conquered provinces. | 0:32:14 | 0:32:18 | |
The King of England will make a public profession of the | 0:32:18 | 0:32:21 | |
Catholic faith and will receive the sum of two millions of crowns | 0:32:21 | 0:32:25 | |
in the course of the next six months. | 0:32:25 | 0:32:28 | |
We were ready to go to three millions. | 0:32:29 | 0:32:32 | |
I...wasn't. | 0:32:32 | 0:32:34 | |
This calls for a celebration. | 0:32:38 | 0:32:40 | |
Tomorrow. | 0:32:40 | 0:32:42 | |
In the meantime, you must rest. | 0:32:42 | 0:32:44 | |
May I ask how you feel? | 0:32:51 | 0:32:52 | |
A little weary. | 0:32:52 | 0:32:54 | |
You need sleep and repose. | 0:32:54 | 0:32:56 | |
She must be given only broth for a week, with sorrel and rosemary. | 0:32:56 | 0:33:00 | |
Yes, of course. | 0:33:00 | 0:33:01 | |
Um... If the king says you are a man, you are a man. | 0:33:05 | 0:33:09 | |
It is not necessary. | 0:33:11 | 0:33:14 | |
Monsieur Marchal! I was hoping I might see you. | 0:33:24 | 0:33:28 | |
I wonder, might I have a word with you? | 0:33:29 | 0:33:32 | |
Of course. | 0:33:32 | 0:33:33 | |
You see... | 0:33:34 | 0:33:35 | |
I conceived the notion you are upset with me. | 0:33:37 | 0:33:41 | |
Why would I be upset with you? | 0:33:41 | 0:33:44 | |
Because I lied about who I am. | 0:33:49 | 0:33:51 | |
Hmm... | 0:33:54 | 0:33:55 | |
The paper you used was of Swiss origin and not available in France | 0:33:55 | 0:34:00 | |
at the time you claim to have been born. | 0:34:00 | 0:34:02 | |
Well, I... I underestimated you. | 0:34:05 | 0:34:07 | |
Why would you lie to me? | 0:34:07 | 0:34:09 | |
Because I was scared. | 0:34:12 | 0:34:13 | |
I care for you. | 0:34:16 | 0:34:18 | |
You see, I first came to court | 0:34:18 | 0:34:22 | |
with the intention to find a match for my daughter, | 0:34:22 | 0:34:25 | |
and then I discovered yet another reason to stay. | 0:34:25 | 0:34:30 | |
Have you found a husband for your daughter? | 0:34:37 | 0:34:40 | |
No, not yet. But may I ask what you intend for us? | 0:34:40 | 0:34:44 | |
You won't have us banished, will you? | 0:34:46 | 0:34:48 | |
No. I'm sure the matter will be resolved favourably. | 0:34:52 | 0:34:57 | |
Good. | 0:35:00 | 0:35:01 | |
What news from court? | 0:35:17 | 0:35:19 | |
Everyone is talking about the masked ball tomorrow. | 0:35:20 | 0:35:22 | |
Thank you. | 0:35:22 | 0:35:24 | |
What is your name again? | 0:35:25 | 0:35:27 | |
Marie, Your Highness. | 0:35:27 | 0:35:28 | |
Thank you, Marie. | 0:35:30 | 0:35:32 | |
What will you be wearing? | 0:35:39 | 0:35:40 | |
I don't know. I can't decide. | 0:35:40 | 0:35:43 | |
I remember my first masked ball. | 0:35:45 | 0:35:48 | |
I danced all evening with a tall man wearing the mask of Apollo. | 0:35:48 | 0:35:52 | |
At the end of the evening, he took me out onto the terrace, | 0:35:52 | 0:35:57 | |
kissed each of my fingers... | 0:35:57 | 0:36:00 | |
..and then left. | 0:36:01 | 0:36:02 | |
Well, who was he? | 0:36:04 | 0:36:05 | |
To this day, I do not know. | 0:36:05 | 0:36:07 | |
And will Your Highness be going? | 0:36:09 | 0:36:12 | |
I don't think so. I am a little tired. | 0:36:12 | 0:36:15 | |
But it is in your honour, Your Highness. | 0:36:15 | 0:36:18 | |
His Majesty would be disappointed if you are not there. | 0:36:18 | 0:36:21 | |
Good morning. | 0:36:40 | 0:36:41 | |
What are you doing here? | 0:36:42 | 0:36:44 | |
I'm here to watch a piece of theatre. | 0:36:44 | 0:36:47 | |
-In my bedroom? -Yes. | 0:36:47 | 0:36:49 | |
It's called the Grand Levee, | 0:36:49 | 0:36:50 | |
a comedy of manners with tragic undertones. | 0:36:50 | 0:36:54 | |
From now on, your life does not belong to you. | 0:37:14 | 0:37:18 | |
All you do is designed to be seen and admired. | 0:37:19 | 0:37:23 | |
Dressing, shaving, drinking and eating. | 0:37:23 | 0:37:26 | |
They are no longer actions, but a performance. | 0:37:26 | 0:37:29 | |
All the noblemen at court | 0:37:32 | 0:37:34 | |
are required to present themselves at the appointed hour. | 0:37:34 | 0:37:37 | |
Dukes before marquises, I believe. | 0:37:37 | 0:37:39 | |
I'm with the duke. | 0:37:40 | 0:37:42 | |
Only a few, however, will be given the privilege of entering, | 0:37:43 | 0:37:47 | |
observing and, in some cases, participating. | 0:37:47 | 0:37:50 | |
All the entrances and exits will be supervised. | 0:37:50 | 0:37:54 | |
Self-control and order are paramount. | 0:37:54 | 0:37:57 | |
Where two valets used to dress you, you now have six. | 0:37:58 | 0:38:01 | |
For your shoes, two. | 0:38:01 | 0:38:04 | |
Everything you do is a display of wealth, authority, | 0:38:04 | 0:38:08 | |
harmony and modesty. | 0:38:08 | 0:38:10 | |
And last, but by no means least, | 0:38:12 | 0:38:14 | |
piety. | 0:38:14 | 0:38:16 | |
Mass is at 11am. Don't be late. | 0:38:21 | 0:38:24 | |
I must congratulate you, brother. | 0:38:25 | 0:38:27 | |
It is a perfect system in which everyone knows their place. | 0:38:27 | 0:38:30 | |
I certainly know mine. | 0:38:30 | 0:38:31 | |
Where are you going, Mother? | 0:39:04 | 0:39:07 | |
To save us. | 0:39:07 | 0:39:08 | |
Madame de Clermont? | 0:39:25 | 0:39:27 | |
Yes. | 0:39:27 | 0:39:28 | |
Monsieur Marchal sent me. | 0:39:28 | 0:39:30 | |
He's waiting for you. | 0:39:30 | 0:39:32 | |
Follow me, please. | 0:39:32 | 0:39:33 | |
Where is he? | 0:39:35 | 0:39:37 | |
He wishes it to be a surprise. | 0:39:37 | 0:39:38 | |
Approach no further. | 0:40:16 | 0:40:18 | |
I'm not sure I quite understand. | 0:40:21 | 0:40:23 | |
In a forest, looking down a row of evergreens. | 0:40:26 | 0:40:31 | |
You remembered. | 0:40:35 | 0:40:37 | |
So this is it, isn't it? | 0:40:40 | 0:40:42 | |
Kneel. | 0:40:45 | 0:40:46 | |
Kneel down. | 0:40:56 | 0:40:57 | |
Look at me. | 0:41:15 | 0:41:16 | |
What do you see? | 0:41:27 | 0:41:28 | |
I see... | 0:41:31 | 0:41:32 | |
I see loneliness. | 0:41:35 | 0:41:37 | |
I see fear. | 0:41:39 | 0:41:40 | |
I see... | 0:41:43 | 0:41:44 | |
..despair, regret. | 0:41:48 | 0:41:51 | |
And duty. | 0:41:52 | 0:41:54 | |
Let it be done. | 0:41:55 | 0:41:57 | |
What do you think you're doing? | 0:42:24 | 0:42:26 | |
You're looking for my mother? | 0:42:28 | 0:42:30 | |
No, I am looking for you. | 0:42:30 | 0:42:32 | |
Why? | 0:42:32 | 0:42:33 | |
To tell you to leave. | 0:42:33 | 0:42:36 | |
I do not understand. | 0:42:37 | 0:42:40 | |
I think you do. | 0:42:40 | 0:42:41 | |
Pack up your affairs and get out. You have no place here. | 0:42:41 | 0:42:45 | |
But what about my mother? | 0:42:45 | 0:42:46 | |
You shall be making the journey back to wherever you come from alone. | 0:42:46 | 0:42:51 | |
And if I find you still here, I shall have you tossed in the gutter. | 0:42:53 | 0:42:57 | |
What have you done with her? | 0:42:57 | 0:42:58 | |
Your son, Sir. | 0:43:20 | 0:43:22 | |
Very good. | 0:43:24 | 0:43:25 | |
His Majesty wishes you to stay. | 0:43:31 | 0:43:33 | |
I have brought you here | 0:43:44 | 0:43:45 | |
because the time has come to teach you how to rule. | 0:43:45 | 0:43:48 | |
To be a king is to have power beyond imagining. | 0:43:51 | 0:43:54 | |
All you ask for will be given. | 0:43:55 | 0:43:57 | |
All you desire will be yours. | 0:43:57 | 0:43:59 | |
You will have power, but with power comes duty, | 0:44:01 | 0:44:04 | |
duty to your subjects, to your friends, | 0:44:04 | 0:44:08 | |
to justice, to truth. | 0:44:08 | 0:44:11 | |
But with power also comes danger. | 0:44:12 | 0:44:14 | |
When I was a young boy like you, | 0:44:14 | 0:44:16 | |
there were those who sought to destroy us, | 0:44:16 | 0:44:19 | |
people we took to be friends. | 0:44:19 | 0:44:21 | |
They came hammering at our doors with blood on their hands | 0:44:21 | 0:44:24 | |
and murder in their hearts. | 0:44:24 | 0:44:26 | |
I will never allow that to happen to you. | 0:44:29 | 0:44:32 | |
Do you understand? | 0:44:33 | 0:44:35 | |
Yes. | 0:44:35 | 0:44:36 | |
Good. | 0:44:38 | 0:44:39 | |
Rohan, my son will be spending a few days with us. | 0:44:42 | 0:44:45 | |
I will teach him how to rule a country | 0:44:45 | 0:44:47 | |
and you will teach him how to hunt a wild boar. | 0:44:47 | 0:44:50 | |
It would be an honour. | 0:44:51 | 0:44:53 | |
Have my orders been carried out? | 0:45:06 | 0:45:08 | |
Yes, sir. The men are ready. | 0:45:08 | 0:45:10 | |
Good. I will leave a message at the usual place. | 0:45:10 | 0:45:12 | |
-When? -When the time has come. | 0:45:12 | 0:45:15 | |
And what is our plan? We shall capture the king? | 0:45:16 | 0:45:18 | |
No. The king is not our prey. | 0:45:18 | 0:45:22 | |
Madame? | 0:45:33 | 0:45:34 | |
Lord Rohan. | 0:45:34 | 0:45:36 | |
Another game of cards later, perhaps? | 0:45:36 | 0:45:38 | |
With pleasure. | 0:45:38 | 0:45:39 | |
You will not be joining the revelry, Monsieur Marchal? | 0:45:49 | 0:45:52 | |
I prefer to watch. | 0:45:52 | 0:45:54 | |
I'm sure you do. | 0:45:54 | 0:45:55 | |
This is an unwelcome surprise. | 0:46:17 | 0:46:19 | |
I came to make you an offer. | 0:46:19 | 0:46:21 | |
Of what? | 0:46:21 | 0:46:23 | |
Of me. | 0:46:23 | 0:46:24 | |
Life as a builder's wife was unpalatable to you? | 0:46:27 | 0:46:30 | |
He would not take me. | 0:46:31 | 0:46:33 | |
Hmm. A wise man. | 0:46:33 | 0:46:35 | |
So, I am your only hope, and you have come to me for deliverance. | 0:46:36 | 0:46:41 | |
You have courage. | 0:46:43 | 0:46:44 | |
And value. I am unmarried and pure. | 0:46:46 | 0:46:49 | |
At least you are seen to be, which is all that matters here. | 0:46:51 | 0:46:56 | |
Very well. | 0:46:58 | 0:46:59 | |
If you wish to stay here, you will work for me. | 0:47:02 | 0:47:06 | |
Everyone, apart the king and I, believes you to be of noble birth. | 0:47:07 | 0:47:11 | |
This will remain the case. | 0:47:11 | 0:47:13 | |
You will attend court, | 0:47:13 | 0:47:16 | |
dance, flirt, | 0:47:16 | 0:47:18 | |
gossip, play cards, | 0:47:18 | 0:47:20 | |
seduce. | 0:47:20 | 0:47:21 | |
But henceforth, you will do it in my service. | 0:47:21 | 0:47:25 | |
You will tell me what people are doing, | 0:47:27 | 0:47:29 | |
what they are saying, | 0:47:29 | 0:47:31 | |
who is sharing a bed with whom, | 0:47:31 | 0:47:34 | |
who is cheating on their wife, | 0:47:34 | 0:47:36 | |
and who is cheating at cards. | 0:47:36 | 0:47:37 | |
If you disobey me, you will suffer the same fate as your mother. | 0:47:39 | 0:47:43 | |
From now on, I own you. That is my offer. | 0:47:44 | 0:47:48 | |
Very well. | 0:47:51 | 0:47:53 | |
I don't know why you wanted me in this colour. | 0:48:31 | 0:48:34 | |
Because it's regal. | 0:48:34 | 0:48:35 | |
I hate it! | 0:48:36 | 0:48:38 | |
Some people care about making an impression, darling. | 0:48:38 | 0:48:41 | |
Clearly. | 0:48:41 | 0:48:42 | |
Two minds that think as one! Would you have me change masks? | 0:48:48 | 0:48:51 | |
Not at all. | 0:48:51 | 0:48:53 | |
Come! | 0:48:53 | 0:48:54 | |
I wanted to thank you. | 0:48:59 | 0:49:00 | |
What for? | 0:49:00 | 0:49:02 | |
For sharing my vision. | 0:49:02 | 0:49:03 | |
All too often, I have had the impression that the petty | 0:49:03 | 0:49:06 | |
differences between us have proved too great an obstacle. | 0:49:06 | 0:49:09 | |
I'm sure the fault is all mine. | 0:49:09 | 0:49:10 | |
Well, not entirely. | 0:49:10 | 0:49:12 | |
It is magnificent. | 0:49:15 | 0:49:17 | |
There are still those who would destroy it. | 0:49:18 | 0:49:20 | |
Dear brother, I have spoken to him... | 0:49:20 | 0:49:22 | |
I'm not talking of your friend. | 0:49:22 | 0:49:24 | |
I am talking of forces far stronger and more determined. | 0:49:24 | 0:49:27 | |
Who? | 0:49:30 | 0:49:32 | |
I do not yet know, but they are close. | 0:49:32 | 0:49:35 | |
Ah! The princess we've been waiting for. | 0:50:17 | 0:50:20 | |
But do you know who your king is? | 0:50:21 | 0:50:23 | |
Is it me? | 0:50:23 | 0:50:24 | |
Or is it me? | 0:50:24 | 0:50:25 | |
Which one do you want it to be? | 0:50:25 | 0:50:27 | |
I cannot say. | 0:50:28 | 0:50:30 | |
She cannot say! Oh, dear! | 0:50:30 | 0:50:32 | |
You will dance with me, I hope. | 0:50:33 | 0:50:35 | |
-I will. -Why not with me? | 0:50:35 | 0:50:37 | |
She shall dance with both of us. | 0:50:37 | 0:50:39 | |
His Majesty's in a flattering mood this evening. | 0:51:00 | 0:51:03 | |
What makes you say that? | 0:51:03 | 0:51:05 | |
Because I know him, and he knows you. | 0:51:05 | 0:51:07 | |
It strengthens me to know I have you at my side. | 0:51:12 | 0:51:15 | |
You have many advisors better qualified than I. | 0:51:17 | 0:51:20 | |
But you are so much more than a mere advisor. | 0:51:21 | 0:51:24 | |
You realise he no longer loves you? | 0:51:27 | 0:51:29 | |
Yet you still lie awake at night | 0:51:29 | 0:51:31 | |
and dream of hearing his footsteps on the floor | 0:51:31 | 0:51:34 | |
and the midnight knock at the door. | 0:51:34 | 0:51:37 | |
You were and are my first love. | 0:51:41 | 0:51:43 | |
Whoever I'm with, a part of me will always be with you. | 0:51:43 | 0:51:46 | |
He will promise and beckon and you will continue to hope. | 0:51:46 | 0:51:50 | |
You would've made a wonderful queen. | 0:51:50 | 0:51:52 | |
He will promise and beckon and you will continue to hope. | 0:51:52 | 0:51:55 | |
Whoever I'm with, a part of me will always be with you. | 0:51:55 | 0:51:57 | |
But you are just a puppet now. | 0:51:57 | 0:51:59 | |
You would've made a wonderful queen. | 0:51:59 | 0:52:01 |
