1 00:01:00 The duelist demands satisfaction,
2 00:01:03 Honor for him is an appetite,
3 00:01:06 This story is aboutan eccentric kind of hunger,
4 00:01:08 It is a true story,and begins in the year...
5 00:01:11 that Napoleon Bonapartebecame ruler of France,
6 00:04:12 Gentlemen, General Treillard.
7 00:04:26 who knows Lieutenant Feraud...
8 00:04:31 7th Hussars?
9 00:04:34 I do, sir.
10 00:04:35 - You know him well?- I've once or twice come across him.
11 00:04:38 TeIl him he's confined to his quartersunder close arrest.
12 00:04:42 Lieutenant Feraud has skeweredthe mayor's nephew...
13 00:04:46 in an affair of honor,half a minute's work.
14 00:04:48 I have spent the last two hoursapoIogizing to the mayor on his behalf.
15 00:04:52 CouId you convey to Lieutenant Feraudhow much I should be likely...
16 00:04:56 to enjoy that?
17 00:04:58 - I hope so, sir.- Yeah, I hope so too.
18 00:05:01 In case he feels an interest,the mayor's nephew is stilI aIive.
19 00:05:06 More or less.TeIl him I shall take pleasure...
20 00:05:09 in seeing him Iater.
21 00:05:12 I want some food!Perhaps you could rout out a crust.
22 00:05:18 I regret the interruption.
23 00:05:20 Sir.
24 00:05:45 - Is Lieutenant Feraud at home?- He's gone out.
25 00:05:49 - Gone out where?- I don't know.
26 00:05:51 My dear, this is very important.Soldier's business, of course.
27 00:05:56 He went to pay a call.
28 00:05:59 Pay a calI on whom?
29 00:06:03 I'm sure he keeps nothing from you.
30 00:06:06 Madame de Lionne.
31 00:06:08 Did he?
32 00:06:12 He has an angel at home, and off hegoes paying a call on Madame de Lionne.
33 00:06:17 He must be quite bIind.
34 00:06:21 Thank you.
35 00:06:57 Madame.
36 00:07:00 I must ask youto pardon this intrusion.
37 00:07:03 I'm here on military business,which is...
38 00:07:05 a lamentable reasonfor invading your drawing room.
39 00:07:08 Come again this eveningand plead your forgiveness.
40 00:07:10 You are most gracious.
41 00:07:12 Madame, I have ordersfor Lieutenant Feraud.
42 00:07:17 Please excuse us.
43 00:07:21 I have an order to convey to youfrom General TreiIlard.
44 00:07:25 You are to report to your quartersand remain there under close arrest.
45 00:07:30 what did you say?
46 00:07:32 I'm only a messenger.That must be obvious to you.
47 00:07:36 Have you heard my message?
48 00:07:37 Yes, damn you, I heard your message.Under arrest for what?
49 00:07:40 You did fight a dueI this morning?
50 00:07:44 0f course.
51 00:07:46 You make dueIing sound likea pastime in the Garden of Eden.
52 00:07:52 I think we ought to leave now,don't you agree?
53 00:07:56 What have I done?
54 00:07:58 was I to let some sauerkraut-eater...
55 00:08:01 wipe his boots on the uniformof the 7th Hussars?
56 00:08:05 The sauerkraut-eater's unclehappens to be the mayor of Strasbourg.
57 00:08:10 The general was obIigedto acknowIedge his compIaint.
58 00:08:13 Then I'm obliged to the generaI? ShouldI be gratefuI to you for finding me?
59 00:08:17 Frankly, I think you ought to be.
60 00:08:19 I had no end of troubIefinding where you were.
61 00:08:22 - Better caIm yourself.- CaIm myself?
62 00:08:24 I do advocate it most earnestly.
63 00:08:28 would you Iet them spit uponNapoleon Bonaparte?
64 00:08:32 Bonaparte has no more to do with thisthan Madame de Lionne.
65 00:08:35 You think that name's commoncoin for the street?
66 00:08:39 whichever name you choose to defend,I'd use it...
67 00:08:41 with the utmost respectand soleIy in the cause of logic.
68 00:08:43 what do you mean, whichever name?You know damn well which name.
69 00:08:53 CouId you leave us aIone, please?
70 00:09:05 Your duty is to victimize me.
71 00:09:08 Am I mistaken?
72 00:09:10 You were chosen to hunt me outin the drawing room of a lady...
73 00:09:13 toward whom I feel the deepest--
74 00:09:15 I respectyour inexpressible sentiment.
75 00:09:17 But I can assure you that the huntingwas no choice of mine.
76 00:09:19 You've insuIted me.
77 00:09:22 You have insulted me!
78 00:09:24 I have strained my patiencein order not to do so.
79 00:09:26 - I demand an apology!- This is too ridiculous.
80 00:09:31 Really too ridiculous.
81 00:09:35 A proper generaI's poodIe.Can you fight?
82 00:09:37 I see no reason whateverfor us to fight.
83 00:09:39 what reason would you like?Shall I spit in your face?
84 00:09:43 Shall I cut a chunk out of your back,or would that be too ridiculous?
85 00:09:49 How do you get back to yourgeneral now? Through the window?
86 00:09:52 I believe you're reallyquite a madman.
87 00:09:56 You draw your sword.
88 00:10:07 0r by God, I'll chase youdown the street Iike a chicken!
89 00:10:10 You will chase me nowhere.
90 00:10:13 I wilI be delighted to fight youat the first opportunity.
91 00:10:15 we'll fight now.
92 00:10:16 At this moment I'm here on duty,and you are under arrest...
93 00:10:19 - Now!- For dueIing, you ape!
94 00:10:21 Now!
95 00:10:22 - You fight now.- where?
96 00:10:25 In the garden.
97 00:10:28 - I want seconds.- I'll find you seconds.
98 00:10:32 0ld man...
99 00:10:34 stand here... and watch me.
100 00:12:01 Enter.
101 00:12:10 You've been scratched by a woman.
102 00:12:12 Correct.
103 00:12:14 Did you commit a crime of passion?
104 00:12:16 CertainIy not.
105 00:12:19 I agree.That would be out of character.
106 00:12:25 weII, what happened?
107 00:12:28 - I wounded a man in a duel.- what type of wound?
108 00:12:30 - A cut across the forearm.- Name of adversary?
109 00:12:34 - GabrieI Feraud.- He fought a dueI this morning.
110 00:12:38 He also fought a dueIthis afternoon.
111 00:12:42 I've anatomized the military man.
112 00:12:44 I have literallypicked through his brains.
113 00:12:48 It's my fateto go on putting him together.
114 00:12:50 I haven't the slightest ideahow he works.
115 00:12:53 where do I find this--
116 00:12:55 Lieutenant Feraud?
117 00:12:59 what was the cause of the quarrel?
118 00:13:04 Ask him.
119 00:13:05 Cause of quarrel-- obscure.
120 00:13:11 So, prepare to be more civiIized.
121 00:13:14 A tomcat wouId never dream of sendinga surgeon to another tomcat.
122 00:13:27 You could try this on your face.
123 00:13:35 You were recommended to me asa reliabIe, intelligent young officer.
124 00:13:39 You're a damn disgrace.
125 00:13:41 You look a damned disgrace,like a damned Hottentot.
126 00:13:45 Look at yourseIf.
127 00:13:47 You wiII returnto your regiment at once.
128 00:13:50 I have no further use for you.
129 00:13:53 Pending a court inquiry, you wilI beconfined to barracks under close arrest.
130 00:13:56 Go on.
131 00:13:57 Sir, I shaIl welcome an inquiry.
132 00:13:59 You will, wilI you...
133 00:14:01 Lieutenant?
134 00:14:03 If you emerge from itpure as driven snow...
135 00:14:07 you'Il remain an imbecile.
136 00:14:09 Get out.
137 00:14:31 The whole town is buzzing with it.
138 00:14:35 I spoke with a delightfuI old gentlemanwho affected to beIieve...
139 00:14:38 in the transmigration of souls.
140 00:14:41 He suggested you had both beenenemies in a previous incarnation.
141 00:14:48 what did Feraud suggest?
142 00:14:50 He kept remarkably quiet about it,much like yourself.
143 00:14:55 weII...
144 00:14:58 it will aIl come out at the inquiry.
145 00:15:00 There won't be any inquiry.
146 00:15:02 - You're disappointed?- war?
147 00:15:06 Yes, yes.
148 00:15:08 war again.
149 00:15:10 You'Il be a free man backwith your troop in the morning.
150 00:15:14 - Good.- Imagined you wouId think so.
151 00:15:16 So I have brought...
152 00:15:23 two bottIes...
153 00:15:26 one corkscrew...
154 00:15:29 and my fIute.
155 00:15:42 - Feraud intends to kiIl you.- Is that what he says?
156 00:15:46 0h, not to me,but rumor goes around.
157 00:15:50 Damn him anyway!He's most unreasonable.
158 00:15:56 The enemies of reasonhave a certain blind look.
159 00:15:59 - He has that Iook, don't you think?- what can I do?
160 00:16:04 I have given it some thought.
161 00:16:08 You cannot fight, one,if you are in different pIaces.
162 00:16:11 Physical impossibility.Two...
163 00:16:12 if you're of different rank,it's a breach of discipIine.
164 00:16:17 And three,if the state is at war...
165 00:16:22 dueIs of nationstake absoIute precedence.
166 00:16:26 Therefore, keep away from him.
167 00:16:29 Keep ahead of him.Put your trust in Bonaparte.
168 00:16:39 Thank you.
169 00:16:46 Just before history rolls over it,what was the cause of the duel?
170 00:16:53 Are you askingon behalf of the town?
171 00:16:58 Call it a...
172 00:17:00 light cavalry skirmish.
173 00:17:04 All in all...
174 00:17:07 I'm far from certain myseIf.
175 00:17:25 After six monthsof hard campaigning...
176 00:17:28 there followed an interval of peace,
177 00:17:37 - HoId him, Gabriel.- Are you holding onto the table?
178 00:17:41 - Richard, is he on the table?- No, I'm not!
179 00:17:46 I got you. Got you.Come on.
180 00:17:49 - Left arm, doubIe or nothing.- No, I onIy bet right hand.
181 00:17:54 - Another?- Yes.
182 00:17:55 - where's your bet?- Trust me.
183 00:17:58 - You must be joking.- Trust me!
184 00:18:01 Come on.
185 00:18:05 You're next.Any more bets?
186 00:18:12 Damn muscle never healed properly.
187 00:18:20 You remember that boudoir soldierin Strasbourg...
188 00:18:22 that staff lackey?
189 00:18:27 You'll act for me, won't you?
190 00:18:50 Hey, Moustache, my bags.
191 00:18:56 Now tell me you're married.
192 00:18:58 Madame, I am entirely at your service.
193 00:19:00 My dear Armand, how very gallant.
194 00:19:05 what a relief.
195 00:19:10 weII, now that I've found you,it would be an act of mercy...
196 00:19:13 if you put us both to bed.
197 00:19:19 Marie Rose went bald.She caught the mange in ItaIy.
198 00:19:22 Poor bitch.
199 00:19:24 - How did Jacques respond to that?- He never saw it.
200 00:19:26 He was kiIled at Marengo.
201 00:19:29 Simon must still be in Egypt.
202 00:19:32 Etienne married that fat girl of his.
203 00:19:36 And I have received a token of love.
204 00:19:41 I find that rather daunting.
205 00:19:51 with this ring, I renounce love...
206 00:20:07 and make do with you.
207 00:20:15 You were the one I always wanted.
208 00:20:18 You.
209 00:20:20 You, Hussar.
210 00:20:37 - what's this?- I'll have them driven in deeper, sir.
211 00:20:39 You'll do no such thing.
212 00:20:41 who the deviI taught youto picket horses so near a river?
213 00:20:44 There's gonna be wateraround their knees in two hours.
214 00:20:46 I want the whole Iine movedto higher ground quickly.
215 00:20:48 Sir.
216 00:20:55 Lieutenant d'Hubert.
217 00:20:59 Yes?
218 00:21:01 You are acquaintedwith Lieutenant Feraud?
219 00:21:06 Yes.
220 00:21:33 - Morning.- Morning.
221 00:21:40 Are you ready, gentIemen?
222 00:22:02 All right, gentlemen.
223 00:22:52 Sorry.
224 00:23:38 Gently, gently.
225 00:23:45 Very carefulIy,turn around for me.
226 00:23:49 Take it sIowly.
227 00:23:51 Do take off his cravat, please.
228 00:23:53 Easy. It's all right.
229 00:23:55 It's all right.Then undo his button.
230 00:24:00 Easy.Get him over on his side.
231 00:24:03 Just get this--
232 00:24:05 CarefuI, careful.
233 00:24:20 Armand, it was a fair set-to.
234 00:24:22 won't hurt your reputation,I can promise you that.
235 00:24:27 why don't you make it uplike a couple of good fellows?
236 00:24:29 - That's better.- There's no need to bear him a grudge.
237 00:24:38 All right.I'll shake hands.
238 00:24:52 weII?
239 00:24:54 He can't continue, I'm afraid.
240 00:25:02 It's quite bad.
241 00:25:04 - Can he continue?- No, he's unable to.
242 00:25:07 - Damn it!- GabrieI, shake hands and forget it.
243 00:25:10 whatever he did,you've paid him back now.
244 00:25:13 From alI I hear,he's a very decent fellow.
245 00:25:15 Decent?
246 00:25:17 Don't expect decency from his kind.
247 00:25:22 Look at him,lolling about there on the ground.
248 00:25:24 0ne touch, and he's off hometo his beloved general.
249 00:25:29 Next time, d'Hubert!
250 00:26:30 You should have made himshake hands with you.
251 00:26:33 I was flat on my back.
252 00:26:37 0ne cannot controI one's affairsfrom that position.
253 00:26:40 You should've got up.You weren't dead.
254 00:26:42 I wasn't weIl.
255 00:26:46 Besides, he only would've stuck meagain. He was waiting for the chance.
256 00:26:50 Do you meanyou'd have gone on fighting?
257 00:26:53 No question.
258 00:26:56 It would have beenthe onIy honorable thing to do.
259 00:27:00 what's the matter?
260 00:27:02 - I'm going to sneeze.- 0h, no, you mustn't.
261 00:27:05 You don't have to.
262 00:27:07 Come on.Think of something else.
263 00:27:11 - Describe honor.- Honor?
264 00:27:14 - Honor.- Honor is...
265 00:27:18 - Go on. You must.- Indescribable...
266 00:27:23 unchalIengable--
267 00:27:48 All the little girls adore you.
268 00:27:51 You're a notorious and savage dueIist.
269 00:27:55 - Savage?- Notoriously savage.
270 00:27:58 And it's rumored thatyou live with a savage bitch.
271 00:28:03 It's a shame he's such an idle brute.
272 00:28:05 0ne more duel--and God knows he needs the exercise--
273 00:28:08 one more duelwould make his reputation.
274 00:28:11 Young Iadies would taketo their smelling salts...
275 00:28:14 whenever he narrowed his eyes.
276 00:28:16 Narrow your eyes.
277 00:28:20 I think you've gota long way to go.
278 00:28:30 we could leave by the back Iane.
279 00:28:33 what for?
280 00:28:35 If he wants me, he'Il find me.
281 00:28:39 You know him?
282 00:28:42 Yes.
283 00:29:07 Surely there must besome other way out?
284 00:29:09 Don't talk about it anymore.
285 00:29:23 The onIy way outis to go through with it.
286 00:29:27 0ne has to be ready.
287 00:29:30 It takes all one's attentionto be ready.
288 00:29:44 where is Gabriel Feraud?
289 00:30:00 Thank you.
290 00:30:05 Yes?
291 00:30:18 I live with Armand d'Hubert.
292 00:30:25 I knew a man who wasstabbed to death by a woman.
293 00:30:27 Gave him the surprise of his life.
294 00:30:30 I once knew a womanwho was beaten to death by a man.
295 00:30:35 I don't thinkit surprised her at all.
296 00:30:40 You're a soldier's Iady.You should live here with me.
297 00:30:45 Nobody understandswhy you fight with Armand.
298 00:30:49 It's supposed to be a secretbetween the pair of you.
299 00:30:54 I believe it's a secretof your very own.
300 00:30:59 I believe...
301 00:31:00 you feed your spite on him...
302 00:31:04 with no more sense than a nasty,bloodsucking louse.
303 00:31:08 who do you suppose careswhat you think?
304 00:31:13 - No one.- Then why are you here?
305 00:31:15 I came to take a look at you.
306 00:31:19 Look.
307 00:31:28 Do you remember Martin?
308 00:31:30 The gunnery sergeant who Iost his arm?Yes.
309 00:31:34 He's out of the army now. He worksat the ordinance factory in Rouen.
310 00:31:41 I think he wants to marry me.
311 00:31:46 He sent me the ring.
312 00:31:48 what ring?
313 00:31:52 This ring.
314 00:31:55 0h, that ring.
315 00:32:03 Marry him.
316 00:32:09 when I'm ready.
317 00:32:42 I was toId I might findLieutenant d'Hubert at this address.
318 00:32:46 Not here.
319 00:33:11 0n the watch, sir.Always on the watch.
320 00:33:15 They don't alI fightlike fine gentlemen.
321 00:33:20 The two of swords reversed.
322 00:33:25 Strife without reason.
323 00:33:27 A quarreI pursued for its own sake.
324 00:33:35 Does this suggest your probIem?
325 00:33:45 Seven of cups.
326 00:33:49 It would seem thatyou must make a difficult choice.
327 00:34:00 The moon.
328 00:34:05 The moon is a symbol of solitude.
329 00:34:07 Here is the path you must take.
330 00:34:10 It is a path of instinct.
331 00:34:13 Everyone who travels on that pathtravels alone.
332 00:34:19 Between the two dogs.
333 00:34:26 Do l leave them both behind?
334 00:34:30 You must answeryour own questions now.
335 00:34:32 You're alone,
336 00:37:38 - Pick it up.- Gently, gentIy.
337 00:37:44 CarefuIly.
338 00:37:48 That's it.
339 00:37:51 I'm not hurt!
340 00:37:54 Are they dying?
341 00:38:18 The general wiIl see you now, sir.
342 00:38:38 Sit down before you fall down.
343 00:38:51 Your colonel speaks highly of you.I found you quite usefuI myself.
344 00:38:55 Yet, in contact with this Feraud,you persistentIy behave...
345 00:38:58 like a wild beast.
346 00:39:02 why is that?
347 00:39:04 - Do you wish to reconvene an inquiry?- Certainly not.
348 00:39:06 - No time to waste on that now.- Sir, as a crucial point of honor...
349 00:39:10 I cannot speak freely aboutthe conduct of Lieutenant Feraud...
350 00:39:14 unIess he has an opportunityto put his own case.
351 00:39:16 Claptrap.
352 00:39:18 Sir, I cannot fight the man three timesand then tell taIes on him.
353 00:39:22 Judging by the look of you,a change of tactics is what you need.
354 00:39:28 Very well. Convention allows youto be a chivalrous half-wit.
355 00:39:32 But you will cease beinga quarrelsome half-wit.
356 00:39:35 You will fight no more duelsunder my command.
357 00:39:37 - Now, is that understood?- Yes, sir.
358 00:39:40 Anyhow,since you are now a captain...
359 00:39:43 it would bea gross breach of discipline.
360 00:39:46 Your colonel considered you fitto command a troop.
361 00:39:49 I'm not exactly surewhat I think you're fit for...
362 00:39:52 but I wilI not oppose his decision.
363 00:39:56 If you feel strong enough,you may leave now.
364 00:40:22 Five years passed,The map of Europe changed...
365 00:40:25 and so did military fashion,
366 00:40:34 Another time then.
367 00:40:46 - Buy me a drink, darling?- Next time.
368 00:41:34 You look mumpish. Cheer up.I have some news to tell you.
369 00:41:38 Sit down.
370 00:41:41 I have news to tell you.
371 00:41:44 The 7th Hussars have come to Lubeck.Feraud is behind you.
372 00:41:52 I'm sorry.
373 00:41:55 - Can you make out his rank?- Captain.
374 00:41:58 Damn.
375 00:42:02 Perhaps, for your own sake,you should face him now.
376 00:42:06 How can you avoid it?He'Il hunt you out in the end.
377 00:42:10 Keep your head down.This is my news.
378 00:42:14 I'm being seconded tothe staff of MarshaI Bernadotte.
379 00:42:18 My appointment carriesthe rank of major.
380 00:42:22 I'm to report for dutyin a fortnight...
381 00:42:24 and the colonel has granted mea fortnight's leave.
382 00:42:31 I wish to consuIt you...
383 00:42:33 in the utmost confidence...
384 00:42:36 upon a fine point of honor.
385 00:42:39 Good-bye, Major.
386 00:42:47 Don't I know you well?
387 00:42:49 - You do.- Yeah, I do know him welI.
388 00:42:52 - D'Hubert.- That's right.
389 00:43:28 I come to Lubeck,and the town is humming with your name.
390 00:43:32 why weren't you kiIled at Elshingham?
391 00:43:36 - That was my last news of you.- It was a hard day for the regiment.
392 00:43:39 But nothing cures a dueIist.
393 00:43:44 How is Martin?
394 00:43:47 More news gone astray.
395 00:43:50 He died of typhus...
396 00:43:52 in the epidemic last July.
397 00:43:55 I'm very sorry.
398 00:44:00 were you married?I never heard.
399 00:44:02 Yes.
400 00:44:04 Right at the end, poor boy...
401 00:44:07 for all the good it did.
402 00:44:11 A widow's weeds aren't much helpto a Iady of the garrison.
403 00:44:18 So now I beg...
404 00:44:20 and strike up friendships.
405 00:44:24 Laura, go back to France.
406 00:44:27 There's only grief to be gotfrom foIlowing soldiers.
407 00:44:31 Martin said--
408 00:44:38 He said,"Go to that fool Armand.
409 00:44:40 He'Il take you on again."
410 00:44:50 This time, he'Il kill you!
411 00:45:04 we thought on horseback.
412 00:45:07 0n horseback?
413 00:45:10 As a compIiment to the cavalry.
414 00:45:14 Feraud has agreed.
415 00:45:16 The regiment expects it.
416 00:45:18 The regiment expects it?
417 00:45:22 I see.
418 00:45:25 we're now fighting this dueIas a compIiment to the cavalry.
419 00:45:31 Like it or not,you are a man of reputation.
420 00:45:35 A famous fire-eater.
421 00:45:38 It brings you responsibiIities.
422 00:45:42 You must think of yourselfas fighting on parade.
423 00:45:49 Feraud has been boasting all day...
424 00:45:51 but the betting stiIl holdsat even money.
425 00:45:57 I'm going to be kilIed...
426 00:46:00 responsibly on horseback...
427 00:46:05 as a compliment to the cavalry.
428 00:46:08 That's a useless sort of taIk.
429 00:46:15 I'm not fanaticaI enoughto persevere in this absurdity.
430 00:46:21 If he so earnestIy desires to kill me,he will kilI me.
431 00:46:23 Damn it, kiII him.
432 00:46:28 That's absurd.
433 00:46:30 - Good morning.- Good morning.
434 00:46:35 The combat shouId be well attended.
435 00:46:38 I hear that Lebrunhas given a breakfast party.
436 00:46:43 I hope the weather improves for them.
437 00:47:01 Do you think so?
438 00:47:09 Let me telI you my idea.
439 00:48:32 Gentlemen!
440 00:48:50 Prepare to advance!
441 00:48:59 Charge!
442 00:49:24 Captain Feraud has takena slight cut across the forehead,
443 00:49:26 And until the blood has stopped,he can't see,
444 00:49:30 I regret the duelmust be discontinued,
445 00:49:58 Feraud was posted to Spain,D'Hubert remained in northern Europe,
446 00:50:03 Six years later,the emperor's grand army...
447 00:50:05 regrouped for Armageddon,
448 00:53:18 Listen, all of you!
449 00:53:22 That woods stinks with cossacks.
450 00:53:25 I want some voIunteers.
451 00:53:30 Listen!
452 00:53:33 Volunteers.
453 00:53:35 All of you!
454 00:53:39 Volunteers.
455 00:53:53 I'll come with you.
456 00:55:40 Pistols next time?
457 00:56:10 By tomorrow, with luck,we shall be across the Niemen.
458 00:56:17 I think we can riska little celebration.
459 00:56:22 Schnapps?
460 00:57:47 Did you ever speak to Napoleon?
461 00:57:49 As a matter of fact, I oncedelivered him an important message.
462 00:57:54 Did he say thank you?
463 00:57:57 I suppose he did. I don't know.It was very noisy at the time.
464 00:58:04 was it right to send him to Elba?
465 00:58:08 weII, he couIdn't share a palacewith King Louis, could he?
466 00:58:12 - weIl, why not?- GiIles! Hilaire!
467 00:58:16 Go on.
468 00:58:20 Do we have to go?
469 00:58:38 How is your leg today?
470 00:58:42 Progress is slow.
471 00:58:45 Come.Sit and rest here.
472 00:58:56 I have plans for you.
473 00:58:58 Leonie, my Iife is yours.
474 00:59:01 It's my ambition to be known as theoId general who lives with his sister.
475 00:59:04 That is exactly what I feared.
476 00:59:07 It is therefore my ambitionto see you married...
477 00:59:10 as soon as is decently possible.
478 00:59:12 Keep quiet and pay attention.
479 00:59:16 The heiress from Valmassique--the estate across the river--
480 00:59:19 is a sweet child called Adele.
481 00:59:21 Her parents are dead, and her unclehas become the dearest friend of mine.
482 00:59:25 It will be the easiest thingin the world to arrange...
483 00:59:28 and it will suit you admirably.
484 00:59:30 I know what you are thinking--
485 00:59:32 "She is an ugIy girI,and she wiIl make me miserable."
486 00:59:34 I assure you, she is far morebeautiful than you deserve...
487 00:59:38 and she wiIl make you very happy.
488 00:59:42 You are at liberty to speak.
489 00:59:45 what color is her hair?
490 00:59:47 Raven-colored.
491 00:59:51 I have no further questionsat this time.
492 01:00:58 I am looking forthe Chevalier de Riverol.
493 01:01:03 General d'Hubert, I believe.
494 01:01:09 I have not hitherto been privilegedto meet a generaI of Bonaparte's army.
495 01:01:13 General of Brigade, sir.And only recently promoted.
496 01:01:17 A mere imp of Satan. I cannot cIaimto be one of his demons.
497 01:01:21 - You jest with me, sir.- In a neighborIy way.
498 01:01:33 Let me make youa pair of boots.
499 01:01:36 In a neighborly way.
500 01:01:38 I wouId esteem it an honor.
501 01:01:40 Good boots are not an honor.They're a pleasure.
502 01:01:43 About the time you were learningto be a soldier...
503 01:01:46 I was learning to make boots.
504 01:01:48 I've supported myselfas a bootmaker.
505 01:01:50 Now that I'm an aristocratonce more...
506 01:01:53 I have to drum up trade.
507 01:01:55 Sloth is the curseof the aristocracy.
508 01:01:58 The Chevalier found youvastly well read...
509 01:02:00 and he said you hada very good leg.
510 01:02:04 I sound Iike a horse.
511 01:02:06 My God, I'm luckyhe didn't look at my teeth.
512 01:02:09 I do hate that swearing.
513 01:02:11 Don't you dare do itin front of Adele.
514 01:02:14 - Have you seen her?- No, I haven't.
515 01:02:16 Yes, you have.
516 01:02:18 Don't sulk. You have.
517 01:02:22 Isn't this marriage-brokinggetting out of fashion?
518 01:02:25 Nothing sensibIegoes out of fashion.
519 01:02:31 They're alI coming over tomorrowfrom Valmassique.
520 01:02:38 Meddle, meddIe, meddle.
521 01:02:41 Nonsense.
522 01:03:01 General d'Hubert,Mademoiselle de Valmassique.
523 01:03:10 Let me look.
524 01:03:12 Very handsome fellow.
525 01:03:16 They have golden eyes, you know.
526 01:03:19 - And jewels inside their heads?- So I believe.
527 01:04:11 were I a young man again...
528 01:04:14 rather than an oId, lame creature...
529 01:04:17 I'd ask you to marry me.
530 01:04:21 weII, don't you want tomarry me now?
531 01:04:25 My dear, we both knowwhat's expected of us, don't we?
532 01:04:34 If I were to neglectto make you a proposal...
533 01:04:36 no blame would beattached to you.
534 01:04:38 I think perhapsyou might be saved from a...
535 01:04:42 sad, dull Iife.
536 01:04:45 If you neglectto make me a proposaI...
537 01:04:47 my uncle wilI go mad.
538 01:04:51 Damn it, you were not put onthis earth to coddle your uncle.
539 01:04:56 I have heard you do swearmost terribly.
540 01:04:58 Nonsense.I'm a tempered man.
541 01:05:01 Tempered in my speech.
542 01:05:09 I love you.
543 01:05:16 Adele...
544 01:05:19 my dearest Adele...
545 01:05:23 it would make me very happy...
546 01:05:26 happy beyond expectationif you would become my wife.
547 01:05:33 Yes.
548 01:05:42 - It was a fiasco.- Nonsense.
549 01:05:44 She accepted you.
550 01:05:47 what else couId she do?
551 01:05:49 Nothing, I should hope.It was a proper, settled arrangement.
552 01:05:55 0h, Armand...
553 01:05:57 in marriage, events of that kindare not important.
554 01:06:01 A good marriagesettIes down quietly...
555 01:06:05 like moss.
556 01:06:07 I've never heard a badword spoken about moss.
557 01:06:10 Moss?
558 01:06:12 Leonie, an unkind plothas been laid against her.
559 01:06:19 Very well. If she's goodand biddabIe, she'lI settle down.
560 01:06:25 But it's not fair.
561 01:06:27 She's young.She has that magic.
562 01:06:31 You are in Iove?
563 01:06:34 - Yes, I'm in love.- well, then...
564 01:06:39 I can't be bothered with you.
565 01:06:43 Go and play billiards.
566 01:06:51 No cheating.
567 01:06:56 Go and play billiards.
568 01:07:04 SureIy you will not turn downthe opportunity of a brigade.
569 01:07:09 The emperor is our hopeand strength.
570 01:07:18 we belong to him.
571 01:07:22 I have entertainedthe notion that...
572 01:07:24 I may belong to myself.
573 01:07:29 It has been said that youdo not love the emperor.
574 01:07:34 - By whom?- By GeneraI Feraud.
575 01:07:38 He knows you well, I beIieve.
576 01:07:40 General Feraud has madeoccasional attempts to kill me.
577 01:07:43 That does not give him the rightto claim my acquaintance.
578 01:07:46 And it is also saidthat he fought you...
579 01:07:48 in defenseof the emperor's honor.
580 01:07:51 That is impertinent trash!
581 01:07:53 You have my answer to MarshalI Grouchy.I shall write to confirm it at once.
582 01:07:58 Good day.
583 01:08:03 Colonel, do you sometimesmeet with GeneraI Feraud?
584 01:08:06 Now and again.
585 01:08:07 Ask him what the honor of the emperorhas to do with Madame de Lionne?
586 01:08:12 Madame de Lionne?
587 01:08:13 I think that was the lady's name.
588 01:08:16 He should rememberbetter than I.
589 01:08:26 TeIl him to drive on.
590 01:08:50 - Damn his impudence.- That was the lady's name, sir.
591 01:08:55 Madame de Lionne.
592 01:08:59 Yes.
593 01:09:01 Get your backside off that tabIe.
594 01:09:05 Fine woman. A cuItivated woman.She had nothing to do with the emperor.
595 01:09:10 I do not believethat the general was suggesting...
596 01:09:13 an ilIicit acquaintance betweenthe emperor and this woman.
597 01:09:17 Then what was he suggesting?
598 01:09:20 what?0ut with it.
599 01:09:21 Sir, I took him ratherto imply that this lady...
600 01:09:26 not the emperor, was the primecause of your quarrel.
601 01:09:29 I have called him out nearto half a dozen times.
602 01:09:33 The cavalry knows. would I havedone that for some petty nonsense?
603 01:09:37 She was a lady I held in high esteem.Her saIon was very well known in...
604 01:09:41 Strasbourg.
605 01:09:47 Yes, now I recaII something else.
606 01:09:51 He said to mein a public street--
607 01:09:53 I have it burnt in my mind.He said to me...
608 01:09:55 "For aIl that I care, they canspit upon Napoleon Bonaparte."
609 01:09:59 - who were they?- They, they!
610 01:10:02 when did the emperornot have enemies?
611 01:10:04 D'Hubert is a turncoat!That is a fact!
612 01:10:06 I say more. I say he never lovedthe emperor! Never!
613 01:10:13 He saw a fair deal of campaigning.
614 01:10:18 when you meet him again, teII himI will prove the truth of it...
615 01:10:20 at the first opportunity.
616 01:10:23 To the emperor. Good luck to himand to those that love him.
617 01:10:30 But in less than 100 days,Napoleon was defeated,
618 01:10:34 And I offer youanother toast.
619 01:10:36 Let us give thanksfor the safe return...
620 01:10:39 of His Sacred Majesty,Louis XVIII.
621 01:10:43 God save the king.
622 01:10:49 And deviI take the ogre...
623 01:10:51 to St. Helena.
624 01:10:55 This side of the grave, it seemsa fit and proper place for him.
625 01:11:00 Come, sir.You're a royalist now...
626 01:11:03 like the rest of us.
627 01:11:05 where else would you wish himto be?
628 01:11:09 0ne celebration at a time, sir.Don't you think?
629 01:11:11 No, I do not.The boy's a royalist.
630 01:11:14 And I can give you more good news.
631 01:11:17 He has been summoned to attendupon Marshall St. Cyr in Paris.
632 01:11:22 He will have a commandin the king's army.
633 01:11:25 So tell us. what fatewould you choose for the ogre?
634 01:11:32 I believe the emperorchose his own fate.
635 01:11:34 It was his habit to do so.
636 01:11:39 I learned my trade in his service,as did MarshaIl St. Cyr.
637 01:11:43 The king's army wiIl havemore realists than royaIists.
638 01:11:51 I have just agreed to termswith this lady...
639 01:11:54 and I'm much too tiredfor further questioning.
640 01:12:12 weII done.
641 01:12:45 Good day, Colonel.
642 01:12:49 D'Hubert, isn't it?
643 01:12:50 That's right.
644 01:12:55 You took careto play safe, eh?
645 01:12:59 Very spruce you Iook too.
646 01:13:01 Very tame and spruce.
647 01:13:06 Found a nice placewith His Majesty, have you?
648 01:13:10 Now, GabrieI Feraud was right.
649 01:13:13 Poor deviI.
650 01:13:16 He always saidyou were a slippery fellow.
651 01:13:19 How is General Feraud?
652 01:13:22 - You don't know?- It interests me very little.
653 01:13:26 In fact, I do not know.
654 01:13:27 Feraud was arrested.
655 01:13:31 They have him on the butcher's Iist.
656 01:13:34 - He's to go before the commission?- Yes.
657 01:13:38 Now, there was a manwho would ride straight at anything.
658 01:13:44 He ends up at the mercyof that sewer rat.
659 01:13:49 Fouche.
660 01:13:52 He's as good as dead.
661 01:14:35 Come a little closer, please.I'm alI attention.
662 01:14:48 I believe Your ExceIlencyhas chosen a list of officers...
663 01:14:51 to be tried for treasonby the special court.
664 01:14:54 I...
665 01:14:55 am the president of the commissionthat chose them, yes.
666 01:15:00 I've come to petition that the nameof General GabrieI Feraud...
667 01:15:03 be removed from that list.
668 01:15:05 I have letters of introduction--Marshalls St. Cyr and MacDonald.
669 01:15:09 Have you indeed?
670 01:15:12 By all accounts,he is a rabid Bonapartist.
671 01:15:16 So is every trooperand grenadier in the army...
672 01:15:20 as Your Excellency knows.
673 01:15:22 General Feraud hasn't the brainsto make himself dangerous to anyone.
674 01:15:27 Rather, he could notconceivably hurt the state.
675 01:15:30 He has a busy tongue.
676 01:15:32 He talked himself on to our list.we could not keep him off it.
677 01:15:46 I am something of a virtuosoin survival.
678 01:15:50 You will be aware of that,I think.
679 01:15:55 Besides, I despise these nobodies...
680 01:15:58 who offer their neckto the bIock.
681 01:16:03 At least he's in my controI,because if it were not...
682 01:16:06 my own men would most certainlybe on it.
683 01:16:08 0ur new mastersand their ladies, bIess them...
684 01:16:11 are out for a deal of blood.
685 01:16:14 Please be seated.
686 01:16:23 You have an honestsoldier's face, General...
687 01:16:25 but you have come hereto intrigue with me.
688 01:16:29 Is that not so?
689 01:16:31 Have you not come hereto intrigue with me?
690 01:16:36 Is this felIowa relation of yours?
691 01:16:39 No.
692 01:16:42 Intimate friend?
693 01:16:44 No, not exactIy.
694 01:16:46 We've had a... Iong association.
695 01:16:50 Mysterious.
696 01:16:53 StilI you havetwo marshals at your back.
697 01:17:05 Yes, there's your man.Feraud, Gabriel Florian.
698 01:17:11 He wilI live in the provincesunder police supervision.
699 01:17:14 You reaIize that, of course.
700 01:17:16 But he wiII live.
701 01:17:23 Take a pen, my dear feIIow,and cross out the name.
702 01:17:26 I can't do everything for you.
703 01:17:37 Your Excellency, I must beg youto keep my interference a secret.
704 01:17:40 Most particularlyfrom General Feraud.
705 01:17:47 General Feraud, alive or dead,is not worth a moment's gossip.
706 01:18:50 There.Give me your hand.
707 01:19:00 Sir, kick for the general.
708 01:19:06 There.
709 01:19:08 Perfect discipline.
710 01:19:10 That's not a grenadier.
711 01:19:13 Most ladylike, I assure you.
712 01:19:17 He's not kicking you.
713 01:19:41 General.
714 01:19:43 The feIlow in the cavalryyou called out several times--
715 01:19:46 D'Hubert, wasn't it?
716 01:19:48 "General d'Hubert, who's beenon sick leave in the south...
717 01:19:52 is to take commandof the Fifth Cavalry brigade...
718 01:19:55 at Reims."
719 01:20:01 Same fellow, isn't it?
720 01:20:37 Good day.
721 01:20:42 Sir, I wonder,could you direct us...
722 01:20:45 to the residenceof General Armand d'Hubert?
723 01:20:49 what is ityou want with him?
724 01:20:51 I want a quiet word with him.Confidential, you understand.
725 01:20:57 This place is quiet enough.
726 01:20:59 You aren't the general,are you, sir, by any chance?
727 01:21:01 - Yes, sir, I am.- I thought so.
728 01:21:04 Met you once after Ratisbon.
729 01:21:09 weII, sir, aIl we need for the presentare the names of your friends.
730 01:21:12 - what friends?- we are the friends of Gen. Feraud.
731 01:21:18 we'll need to work pretty sharp.
732 01:21:20 Police surveillance.
733 01:21:23 They keep us bottled upat Vatan.
734 01:21:25 Damn their eyes.
735 01:21:27 Slip out, sIip back.No one the wiser.
736 01:21:31 Risky, of course,but honor before everything.
737 01:21:34 Honor first.
738 01:21:36 I could have you both carted backwhere you come from in irons.
739 01:21:40 I swear to God, I could whisper,onIy whisper...
740 01:21:43 and you'd both be deadin a ditch before morning.
741 01:21:47 This is royalist country.This is my home.
742 01:21:50 we have proceeded on the assumptionthat you were a gentIeman.
743 01:21:54 Yes, damn you.Damn you, I am!
744 01:21:58 - Very well, then.- we'd like to know your friends' names.
745 01:22:03 I have no friends stupid enoughto take part in such a farce.
746 01:22:10 I suppose I could act for him.
747 01:22:14 He could act for you.
748 01:22:21 Not what you'd caIl a steady feIlow.
749 01:22:23 Used to take a steady felIowto command a brigade.
750 01:22:26 I don't suppose General Feraudwould accept an apology.
751 01:22:30 0ut of the question.
752 01:22:33 You could decIare yourself unfit tobe a soldier and resign your command.
753 01:22:36 That might do it.
754 01:22:38 It wouldn't do.
755 01:22:41 The general has receivedtoo deep an injury.
756 01:22:45 I see.
757 01:22:49 I wilI meet you tomorrowat sunrise, here.
758 01:22:53 Sabers, whatever you choose.
759 01:22:56 Pistols.
760 01:22:59 Pistols?
761 01:23:13 Are you coming to bed now?
762 01:23:19 I shall be late.I have some work to do.
763 01:24:02 My dear boy.
764 01:24:04 I'm very sorry.Did I disturb you?
765 01:24:07 No.I was awake.
766 01:24:10 I promised thesefor tomorrow morning.
767 01:24:13 A tradesman has to keep his word.
768 01:24:16 You ought not to tire yourseIf.
769 01:24:18 0h, I'm an old man.Awake at odd times.
770 01:24:22 Asleep at odd times.
771 01:24:24 But you shouldn't be up.
772 01:24:26 - Is something the matter?- No.
773 01:24:30 I have some work to do before morningto keep my word.
774 01:24:40 May I?
775 01:24:41 Yes, do.
776 01:24:45 - Good night.- Good night.
777 01:26:10 Good day, sir.
778 01:26:13 Good day to you.
779 01:26:17 Poor grounds, sir.Not suitable at alI.
780 01:26:20 0h, I think it will do.
781 01:26:24 we came here to kill each other.
782 01:26:28 Any ground is suitable for that.
783 01:26:30 I suggest the generaI and I enterthe ruin from opposite sides...
784 01:26:34 alone and seek each other out.
785 01:26:37 Two shots each.
786 01:26:39 Fire at wiIl.Is it agreed?
787 01:26:42 I'Il consult with the officerwho is acting for General Feraud.
788 01:26:45 - Everyone heard me.- Yes! I heard you.
789 01:27:15 which side?
790 01:27:18 East side, General.
791 01:27:47 Forward.
792 01:28:31 Sir, I must own myself at a loss,
793 01:30:36 I'm not fanatical enoughto persevere in this... absurdity,
794 01:32:59 Go on. KilI me.
795 01:33:01 Now!
796 01:33:22 Is he dead?
797 01:33:54 where have you been?
798 01:33:58 - I was so worried.- I'm sorry.
799 01:34:02 I had to work late,and then I went for a walk.
800 01:34:08 what's in the bag?
801 01:35:06 You have kept meat your beck and call for 15 years,
802 01:35:09 I shall never again dowhat you demand of me,
803 01:35:14 By every rule of single combat,your life now belongs to me,
804 01:35:18 Is that not correct?I shall simply declare you dead,
805 01:35:24 In all of your dealings with me,you will do me the courtesy...
806 01:35:27 to conduct yourself as a dead man,
807 01:35:30 I have submitted to your notionsof honor long enough.
808 01:35:35 You will now submit to mine.
