Original subtitles

Should Cagliostro come? He is a good healer.

One more reason to keep him away.

We don't need recovery at the last minute.

He is dead.

I wish, to be alone with my father.

The Duke of Orleans is dead.

Long live the new Duke of Orleans.

- What are you going to do now? - Go to Versailles.

- Like flies to shit. - Etiquette requires it.

The king must recognize me.

- This is my chance at Versailles. - Why do you want to go back there?

The damn thing is too tight.

- I'll get soap and water. - No.

Father wouldn't want to get wet.

"M. A.".

- It's perfect. - It's wrong.

- Was? - The bow on the "M" is wrong.

- I'll start again. - We don't have time, Villette.

We have to pay the rent here. When did Rohan give me his donation?

- Three weeks ago. - Even.

If he becomes impatient and wants to speak to the Queen?

Go to Versailles and keep him happy.

Now leave me alone. I have to concentrate.

If I make a mistake, we are both dead.

- What did you find out? - You are right to be worried.

You have no wealth. Everything Your jewelry also belongs to France.

If you have to fight against Provence,

you and the Dauphin are in danger.

- I need my own possessions. - Yes.

You must establish a new farm.

- Oh God. - It may never happen.

Then you have something that you one of the children.

- Do you have something in mind? - There are several possibilities.

The closest is Saint-Cloud.

It is well situated on a hill, and the air is exceptionally good.

What's the catch? Except that I'm not allowed to own anything?

The price. With renovation and equipment it is 6 million.

WITH THANKS OF THE POOR FALLEN WOMEN

The Queen's favorite rose.

As a thank you for your donation for the poor, fallen women.

Thank you.

That's all?

That's quite impersonal.

Yes, the Queen gives everyone the same.

I understand.

My donation was probably not large enough for a better relationship.

- I will donate more. - No.

I won't allow that. What if she doesn't forgive you?

Then I continue until until she does.

I have money in the sacristy.

And when are you coming for dinner?

It's too warm for a jacket.

- I agree. - Every second courtier

received a rose from the queen.

Countess de Valois has to deal with the donations amass a fortune.

I find her admirable.

If only France more women like this!

- You think she's a fraud? - Oh yes.

- It tastes horrible. - As chief steward of the household

it is my job to prove that.

Can not you play something more cheerful?

Choose a painter, I'm dying of boredom.

Tell the Budget Committee

that Madame Lebrun will paint my portrait.

Satisfied? Thank you very much.

Every painter succeeds in creating a similarity.

But Vigée-Lebrun sees what is inside people.

What will she see in you? A boy or a girl?

It's obvious. You're stuffing fill yourself up with sweets again.

Louis is surely pleased.

He doesn't know I want to be sure first.

Because of the pregnancy or the father?

We were careful, but…

Which woman doesn’t know who the father is?

More than you think.

I told Axel, he should stay away.

- Until everything has calmed down. - That's good.

This is how Louis less reminded of him.

Does Louis doubt for a second in fatherhood,

I can forget about Saint-Cloud.

You're making a drama about nothing.

When was your last period?

During the rehearsals for "Figaro".

When was the last time with Louis?

Shortly thereafter.

Very simple. Louis is the father.

Antoinette.

Look at me.

If you believe in it, he will believe it too.

This increases our projections from 21 to 24.

- What? 24 million? - This is how much credit we need,

about the impending financial collapse to avoid.

Parliament granted a loan.

That was enough to cover the interest.

We can't ask her again.

No, we borrow money from the bank.

If the loan becomes known, the market panics.

- That's why we keep it secret. - Yes, thanks.

How is the ankle?

He's fine. Thank you.

- I went hunting this morning. - Is that smart?

Do you want to lock me up forever?

If you are not careful, I have to do that.

Louis, should anything happen to you,

I have to take care of myself and the children can protect

- from your brother's ambitions. - All right.

What do you suggest?

I need my own possessions. Which could serve as my farm.

If I am regent for the Dauphin.

Something like Saint-Cloud.

Saint-Cloud.

I know that well.

- It would be perfect. - Yes, but expensive.

- How much? - Including renovation

six million.

Well, there is no reason to rush things.

No.

But I would prefer to resolve this as quickly as possible.

I want to have a clear head.

- Again? - Why so surprised?

- I visited you. - Once.

Once, during the time with "Figaro".

Nothing more is necessary.

We're slowly getting good at it.

May I say Breteuil, that he can initiate the purchase?

Why now?

Why should a wife have no right to ownership?

Because her husband takes care of her.

Why should their safety depend on a man?

That's just the way it is.

- It's wrong. - Madame…

- A woman needs... - What?

You live in a palace.

All the power is in your hands.

Is there a reason that you are afraid?

No, of course not.

Louis.

If you want Saint-Cloud, talk to my financial controller.

He decides about it.

- That is… - This has nothing to do with me.

"Dear Cardinal,

I thank you for your generous Donate to my charities."

For the Queen 20,000 livres is nothing.

Start again.

"Thank you for your unimportant donation."

No!

Just write what I say.

"Kardinal Rohan,

I feel compelled to present you this to write lines of gratitude.

Your donation for the poor, fallen women

testifies to a…

surprising generosity.

I will never

forget, that you did me wrong,

and yet I cherish in my heart

a small garden of affection for you.

Your queen Marie Antoinette of France."

The man is an animal.

And a traitor. You can't get him back.

He just inherited a large fortune.

And what if so?

He has enough means to build the Palais.

Royal to compete with Versailles.

- We have to stop him. - And take him back?

Against an ally he does nothing.

And if he stays here, he is easier to spy on.

- Good. We'll lift his banishment. - No.

- I don't welcome him. - That's my business.

Take care of your things.

Herzog of Orleans.

The Death of Your Father saddens me greatly.

My sincere condolences.

Thank you for your compassion.

Cousin, wait.

This death reminds us that we are a family.

Let us forget our rift.

Nothing would make me happier.

I am the faithful servant Your Majesty.

And I am the Maid of Orleans.

Welcome back to Versailles.

I hear you have an appointment with the financial controller.

I have to go to Saint-Cloud go begging.

I have information, that could help you.

Read this here.

How nice, To see you in Versailles.

Of course. I am looking forward very happy to be back here.

We have waited so long for this.

Forgiveness.

Look, the lost cousin returns.

With Louis welcoming me so warmly I had

not expected that this would happen.

They know you are a burden.

They would rather have you in the tent and you piss out,

than before and you piss in it.

What would you prefer?

You would do me with both a favor.

But make sure that you do not pisses on the actual crown.

- I want to wear it one day. - Antoinette.

Don't you dare.

Six million?

For a castle?

My husband has several castles.

- Provence too. - Forgive me, Your Majesty.

The Purchase of Saint-Cloud is impossible.

What a pity.

Denn Breteuil has conducted investigations.

It turns out

that Vaudreuil has three million livres in debt.

Nevertheless, Yolande believes she can

pay them back all by themselves.

Which is impossible.

Unless, she had help from a friend.

- Majesty… - They rob the state treasury,

a Yolande to help with the debts.

I can understand your situation.

My favorite can be extremely convincing, but…

I am too.

Well,

Do you still have concerns

regarding the purchase of the castle?

A purchase of this size will

not be welcome.

You have many enemies.

That's why I need Saint-Cloud.

What do you think of Calonnes Proposal to take in 24 million?

A terrible idea, but I don't have a better one.

Could we find a bank that works discreetly?

We helped the discount bank they owe us a favor.

- We are in trouble. - I didn't tell her anything.

She must have figured it out.

- Never underestimate them. - This could ruin me.

The king holds me for trustworthy.

Give the queen what she wants. Problem solved.

Bills, debts, debts.

Bills! I am not a magical money tree.

And I can pay Vaudreuil's debts Don't pay, the queen knows it.

How should I pay Saint James?

I don't know it. Find another benefactor.

She can't disappear...

She spends more time in finance room than in the nursery.

- Your Majesty, good news. - Finally.

If we get the new loan,

The Queen can buy Saint-Cloud.

We can six million?

Of course not.

A married woman must not own anything.

What happens if she passes it on?

She could left to a daughter.

Or her brother, the emperor.

Then we would have a piece of Austria in the middle of France.

I understand your concerns,

but in the event of your premature death

- her allies would help her. - Which allies?

Sire, trust me.

If she owns Saint-Cloud, that creates

more problems than it solves.

- Am I too early? - My nieces.

- What a lovely apartment. - My taste is eclectic.

Just like your dining guests.

Countess de Valois, that is my house guest, Count Cagliostro.

For his alchemy demonstration people are lining up.

Countess! What a pleasant surprise.

Can you find a fortune teller ever something surprising?

She is funny.

Three days later he saw down and it had fallen off.

I understand why you and the cardinal became friends.

And so fast.

Excuse me. A message. From the Queen.

Sorry, I have a message for you.

Come on, I'll read it right away.

They were in the Palais Royal.

Your strength and your sadness attracted me.

Save yourself the for your ideas.

Who have you lost? Your parents? A sibling?

The spirits show me a child, a girl…

No, a boy.

Two boys.

They could even be twins.

They want to tell you something.

You say, You were a good mother.

Don’t you dare, your trying fairground tricks on me.

- I offer reinforcement. - You are spouting lies.

If you could hear the dead, you

would know You, I was not a good mother.

I offer comfort with my skills.

Can you say the same about yourself?

I want to protect Cardinal Rohan.

He could easily become a victim of become an unscrupulous seductress.

I am not a seductress.

They do this professionally. And you are good.

- But there are also doubters. - What do you mean by that?

I let Princess Lamballe question the spirits.

She asked her, whether you are a fraudster.

What did the spirits say?

- You gave a leap of faith. - Thank them for me.

I think we understand each other, Count Cagliostro.

I don't know why we shouldn't be friends.

But cheat me, I tell everyone,

that you have nothing than a heartless impostor.

Same to you.

- Show me! - Cagliostro was here.

Get used to it, he lives with the cardinal.

Where is the Cardinal's answer on the Queen's letter?

This is perfect.

Oh my goodness, Rohan is making really a lot of spelling mistakes.

He believed that you are the queen's guard?

Yes, yes. But Cagliostro will with his gift to see through.

He has no gift.

Well then, we made an agreement.

But Princess de Lamballe is dangerous, she suspects me.

- Was? - I will invite her for tea.

Stand as straight as you can.

Run and get dressed.

And?

Just tell me.

- Sometimes the illness pauses. - But not with him.

Yes.

He has several centimeters lost size.

The curvature has become more pronounced.

Your family is affected by this disease.

There is no hope, that he will get well again.

How long?

Two years.

Maybe three.

He gets the best care.

And Madame Royale…

Will it kill them too?

Some descendants are more vulnerable than others.

Provence did not get it, You survived.

So far, Madame Royale shows no signs of the disease.

Forgive me, but…

the more children you have,

the greater the chance on a healthy heir.

The queen must not find out.

Not yet.

- If she asks... - You're lying.

Nice boats.

This is a model of the "Couronne".

167 feet long,

- 72 cannons. - The Dauphin has to go to class.

Let the boat sail again.

Let him play a little more.

His spine breaks.

In some time she can lose weight

his head can no longer bear the weight.

My older brother had the same illness.

We shared a room.

I heard how it killed him.

Vertebra after vertebra broke.

And now it starts again.

I can help him.

- Because of the pain. - Thanks.

The queen must not find out

from the prognosis.

- She has to prepare herself. - Not yet.

Not now.

- A baby? - Yes.

The annoying thing.

Forgiveness.

The Swede.

Where is he?

In his regiment, I presume. She never mentions him.

You don't have to protect them.

I know about her feelings for him.

And his family?

Is she healthy?

The court genealogist will know.

Would you like me to inquire?

Please.

I am very happy, that you came here.

Interesting choice.

Are you an admirer by Henri II?

This portrait has been family-owned.

He is a relative.

But you prefer to live in Paris, than in Versailles.

I would like in my charity work.

The poor, fallen women.

Victory leaves us knitting all day

for the fatherless children.

Sit down. I have drinking chocolate and cake.

Why did you invite me?

Because you suspect me.

I will reluctantly wrongly accused.

It annoys me. But in this case

you are right. I am a fraud.

I knew it. Your There is no such thing as charity work.

Oh yes. Why not?

And to what extent are you a fraudster?

I lied.

Regarding my proximity to the Queen.

But only because I longed for it to be true.

I am a bad person.

She is my protector.

But she hardly talks to me.

I had high hopes, you to become a special friend.

I imagined us laughing, Share secrets, even,

how we cuddle together,

at night, in bed.

That we talk,

fall asleep snuggled up together.

Oh no.

- What did I say? - No, it is...

I once had a girlfriend.

Just as you described.

But I stand…

no longer in their favor.

Look at us.

Like overflowing fountains.

We are soul mates.

And I hope

we will one day good friends.

Take a seat.

Excellent. No nausea, no dizziness?

- Nothing. I'm fine. - The others made her feel sick.

- Every pregnancy is different. - I told you so.

- And how is your digestion? - Everything is normal.

I'm more worried about the Dauphin.

He has a weak constitution.

Fluctuations in temperature and Humidity

is causing problems for him.

- His Majesty was the same. - What about his spine?

Or its size?

It will get better.

Good nutrition, special exercises,

- clean air are displayed. - That would be all.

- Thank you, doctor. - Thank you.

Lamballe!

Well, what did you find out?

I ask the genealogist. He will tell us exactly who she is.

FAMILY VON FERSEN

His relatives live long lives.

Yes.

Thank you.

- You... you don't tell me that... - I will never...

- Just because... - No.

I never mention anything about our conversations. To no one.

Do you have something heard of the Duke de Polignac?

He and Vaudreuil settled in Saint Domingue.

You want to be sure to them as quickly as possible.

I prefer to serve in Versailles.

You are valued here.

Go.

The Diskont-Bank is honored to have to contribute to France's finances.

The king is delighted with the generous

loan from the discount bank.

It is used to enlarge of France's glory.

I tell His Majesty that he is on Your confidentiality can count.

Thank you, gentlemen.

We are already 24 million richer.

The bank is sure to smell a rat.

The whole feast.

It will certainly something leaks through.

No. The consequences are unthinkable.

I think of the unthinkable.

Me too.

Oh no.

No worries. We break cups all the time.

The bereaved Elisabeth Vigée-Lebrun.

Take a seat.

I would like, that you paint my portrait.

I'm flattered.

But you should elect a member of the Academy.

I rarely do what I'm supposed to.

And…

well, you are a member of the Academy.

I wrote to them and pointed out

that you are the most sought-after portrait painter in Europe.

I insisted that you will be admitted immediately.

- They must be angry. - I hope so.

What kind of portrait thought Your Majesty?

Something…

exotic.

Oriental.

A headdress. Maybe a tiger at my side.

Forgive me, Your Majesty, I am painting people just as they are.

That's what I wanted to hear.

My portrait should France show my true self.

Without tricks or tigers.

- Do we agree? - Yes.

Someone will contact you.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

We need to talk about something.

We must stick together

in matters, that affect both of us.

- What is it? - Saint-Cloud…

You can buy Saint-Cloud now.

You and the children must be safe, when I'm no longer here.

I thank you.

The kids will love it.

Thanks.

Your own castle. How presumptuous!

It's disgusting.

Then we can also have their own property.

Then we won't need men anymore.

- What are you doing there? - A scarf.

The Babies of Fallen Women need socks, not scarves.

It is not for babies.

It is for Marguerite. She feels the cold too.

Not true?

And what does the genealogist found out?

It is true.

She is a direct descendant by Henri II.

Is it wrong, when I am disappointed?

Her line comes from a bastard.

That is why she supports the fallen women.

She also suffers under the stigma of illegitimacy.

Joan of Valois is not a fraud.

Versailles is their rightful home.

"Cardinal,

Her answer was entertaining.

Should we continue to correspond, However, I insist on rules.

Send your letters by return post,

about my private security guard, Lieutenant Armand.

Never contact me by other means,

otherwise it will be for both of us very dangerous."

"My dearest queen, I secure You have my complete discretion.

Your reputation is safe with me."

The floor in the Bastille is

infested with rats and toads.

You can hear the cries of writers, whom the king had imprisoned.

- For the rest of her days. - For you it was three weeks.

- To freedom. - Whatever that means.

I am surprised that you are here You prefer Versailles.

As head of the family, I am aware of how important heritage is.

Do you know what this ring says? That I am royal.

Your ideas for change are OK, but aren't they just dreams?

Versailles is real, it exists. I want it back.

- You protect yourself. - And whether!

Just don’t forget, to whom your true loyalty belongs.

Tell me, when you were rehearsing the piece,

fucked the queen there with the Swede?

Why do you think I together?

They could not leave each other alone.

Just look!

This is my castle. And one day

maybe it will be yours.

SCHLOSS SAINT-CLOUD PRIVATE PROPERTY OF THE QUEEN

Come here.

Let's go.

Look at this. Isn't that beautiful?

Oh, Muslin!

Look, there are birds.

Now we are looking for a room for your brother.

One with large windows, to let in the good air.

Muslin?

Muslin!

Where are you?

Muslin!

Marie-Therese!

Marie-Therese!

Can you hear me?

Marie-Therese!

Marie-Therese!

Marie-Therese!

You must never run away!

I thought I had lost you.

And who are you?

And why are you in my house?

He is my son.

The new Duke of Chartres.

Bow to the Queen, Louis-Philippe.

I spent here half of my childhood.

When we heard about your visit,

he insisted that we come and show you everything.

There are rats in the walls

and there are ghosts under the roof.

But the rest is divine.

Do you like cherries?

Show the princess the garden. The fruit here is delicious.

Stay where I can see you.

I'll be right there.

What are you planning to do?

The king was kind enough to receive me in Versailles.

Wouldn't you like to do that too?

I have never betrayed France.

But…

I have dishonored you.

Since then I have lived with feelings of guilt.

I was once your friend, your comfort.

Can't I be that again?

You were a good friend, when I had no one.

I would give everything for such a man.

But it wasn't real.

My husband has forgiven you, but I will never do it.

Excuse me.

I know, why you bought the castle.

So that you have a refuge when Louis

throws you out with the bastard.

I have proof.

Beaumarchais. And the statement of the chambermaid,

the stains on your sheets.

This baby is a bourbone.

As always a brilliant acting performance.

But nature you can't deceive.

Women are whores, and men are suspicious.

Every newborn resembles his father.

And when that comes out,

it looks more like meatballs than coq au vin.

I can’t convince Louis that he is the father, France is.

The Press of the Palais Royal can be your friend.

- At what price? - A marriage.

My son and Madame Royale.

She is eight years old.

You will soon have to find someone.

Maybe she even likes it. The Children could have our chemistry.

My daughter will not be deployed in a dynasty game.

Should she marry,

she will do it out of love.

She will have her own fortune.

She will have her own home and not be obligated to any man.

And certainly not an Orléans.

That's why I bought Saint-Cloud.

Get out of my palace!

- Chartres only talks nonsense. - He says he has proof.

- I should tell Louis the truth. - Are you out of your mind?

- Are you out of your mind? - I should.

He would not give you Saint-Cloud, if he had doubts.

Chartres cannot prove anything.

Louis and Fersen are both blonde.

Nobody will know unless because the baby speaks Swedish.

- Not even me? - No. It's not important.

It is not important.

You will love the child either way.

Not true?

Come on.

Chin up. Chin up!

Come on, smile.

Smile!

Everything will be fine.

I promise.

I have work for you.

Your printers should interrupt everything else.

How long does it take for a million copies?

A million?

Let me know tonight.

You come with me.

The Budget Committee will hate it.

It's exactly right.

It will be a modern portrait a modern queen.

Exactly.

I know, that you like to paint people,

as they really are.

But maybe you can do some magic to my hair?

It will thinner with each pregnancy.

Well, I imagine that you set up something like this here.

Excellent.

"Your Majesty, the secret

correspondence fills my life with joy.

But with each letter

my desire grows, spending time with you."

"My dear Rohan,

the advancing pregnancy is bothering me.

If only I were strong enough, to sit by your side

and me in the brilliance to bask in the light of your spirit."

"Madame, you flatter me.

Just remember one thing.

I wish for nothing more

than the privilege of seeing myself

in the splendor to bask in your attention."

He looks like you.

He looks healthy.

Ring the bells.

Says France, I have a new son.

Your Majesty.

For me? I cannot possibly accept that.

Through your charity, to reconcile with the queen.

She insists that I reward you.

I sell it and donate the proceeds to the fallen women.

No, keep it.

The Queen wants that you have something for yourself.

It is really very beautiful.

The Court Jeweler can adjust it if necessary.

- The poor man. - Why? What about him?

He still has no buyer for the diamond necklace.

He wants to dismantle them and sell the individual parts.

"Forgive my brief words, it is urgent.

I have long desired a piece of jewelry, the diamond necklace.

I now heard rumors that she be destroyed. I must have them."

That sounds too desperate.

Start over again.

"Kardinal Rohan,

people will hate me if it turns out that I want the necklace.

Therefore I have to buy in secret.

For this I need your help."

What did he say?

Nice place. But I would replace the lock.

It can be easily broken open.

It took you a long time. I thought my messages didn't arrive.

Do you still have your diamond contacts in Antwerp?

Are you serious? Is that your greeting?

- How are you doing? - Not very good.

I lost my wife.

I had a job in Belize. A terrible place.

It's teeming with pirates.

One of them murdered her. Escaped with the winnings.

It broke my heart.

I loved the crazy woman.

Why did you do that?

I mourned for our children, then also about you...

- What did the cardinal say? - Who is that?

Nicholas de la Motte, my husband.

He helps us to find the diamonds for sale. What did he say?

He agreed.

- He helps to buy the necklace. - Read on.

He wants to discuss details first.

In person. With the Queen.

Figure out how to get out of there.

Sweetness.

Faster, please!

THE CORRUPT QUEEN DISAPPEARS SIX MILLION LIVRES - SAINT CLOUD

Over there. Come on.

Hurry up! Time is running out.

What is that?

I leave a million hang all over France.

This will destroy them.

Wait until the people hear, that the Dauphin is a bastard.

What do the philosophy lessons do?

His full attention gilt Marie Antoinette.

Your prediction should expand his ambitions.

Sorry, I do not refund any money.

Some people do not take change seriously.

Me, yes.

They have connections.

I can you introduce some alchemists.

I want truths, not tricks.

- I don't know anything, Félicité. - What nonsense!

What about the symbols? Square, Compass, the all-seeing eye.

You know something about the Freemasons

and the Illuminati.

- Fairy tale… - So there is no elite of thinkers,

the popes and princes want to get rid of?

You are one of them.

Come on, tell me.

I pay for it.

My own palace.

Safety for me and my children.

Can you believe this?

Head up, smile. Everything is possible.

Is this how you get away with murder?

Stop! Stop!

What is going on there?

Search the area!

One guard on the left, one on the right!

Turn around! It is not safe here.

Hurray! Back to Versailles! It is not safe here.

Orleans.

He is turning the people against me.

The! The! The!
