Original subtitles

I'm so proud about my marks. Did you see how they ...

... looked at me?

I can't wait to see Jacqueline's reaction.

René, how nice to hear from you. How's the family?

You couldn't have picked a better moment to call. Hold on.

That's the most beautiful present anyone's ever given me.

Here, help me with the clasp.

In the last episode O learned, she wasn't the only one working to lure Jacqueline

... into Sir Steven's arms. This truth was rather a difficult thing for O ...

... to come face to face with. she couldn't help being jealous.

l invited O because she's my slave. I'd like you to use her as you desire.

Sir Steven had decided the moment was right to put O into other men's hands.

This time, O would be confronted with a man quite different from those at Roissy.

Haven't you ever thought of getting married, having children, leading a normal life?

Not in a long time.

I might like to have children. With you.

With me? You're very young, Eric.

Enjoy me. That's the point.

That's what Sir Steven wants.

I've fallen in love with O.

In love?! I assure you, you only love the way I let you use O.

That sensation you will find with every woman prepared the way she's been.

Meeting Eric made her realise how far she had gone with Sir Steven.

That she had perhaps reached a point of no return.

Rid me of those dreams. Deliver me.

Take me, so that I have not even the time to dream, I'm unfaithful to you.

In your Story of O is the most fiercely intense love letter ...

... aman could ever hope to receive.

It's also a fairy-tale. For adults. A dream.

It's more than a dream. You've got to understand love is no joke.

There's no freedom in it. Damn the freedom.

You're a dreamer.

My love, listen and live my dreams.

If you dare.

So what's going on? Why aren't we shooting?

I've got some bad news. We're gonna have to stop the shoot. - Why? What's wrong?

Financing problems. The crew won't continue working until they get their pay.

I don't getit. How could you let that happen?

Too long to explain. Let's go back to the hotel.

You go ahead. I'll see you later. - Suit yourself.

Sorry about that. - Why sorry?

That's showbiz. Come here.

Jacqueline. Relax. They'll finish the film sooner or later.

And meanwhile, you can join O and me in the South.

We're invited down there next week by a friend of mine. He has a nice house.

And your friend won't mind? - Mind? Sir Steven?

His home is my home. - Sir Steven. You never told me about him.

I'm looking forward to introducing you.

Will you come?

I'm free, as long as the film is stopped.

I might as well take advantage of it.

But O's going to be there with us? - Of course. She'll be happy you're coming.

We'll have to be careful in front of her.

You know, one thing about O: she's not at all possessive.

Not of me anyway.

And since I'm not possessive of you, ...

... it looks like ...

... you'll be well taken care of ...

... by both of us.

René called this morning. He'll be back tomorrow.

That's funny.

Jacqueline called me this morning too.

Her movie's stopped for a while, and so she's coming back home. Tomorrow.

What a coincidence.

I'm not sure it's such a coincidence. I saw them.

I went to see her.

And I saw them both there on the shoot. Together.

But they don't know. They didn't see me.

I'd like to know how you feel ...

when you imagine them making love together?

I'm glad.

I know why he's with her.

It's for you.

He's helping me bring her to you.

What if he's really in love with her?

Then I'd be happy for them. Both of them.

Then tomorrow, when she comes back, you're going to show her ...

... who you really belong to. And you're going to tell her about Roissy.

You can't hide the truth any longer.

I don't want to hide the truth any longer. I'm proud of it.

Pick me up tomorrow morning. - OK.

I didn't know you play golf. - I have a surprise for you.

Now ...

... we're going to arrange a lovely display for the whips, ...

... wrist bands and ropes. I'd like you to help me.

That way facing your bed, you will have ...

... the complete panoply of instruments to be used for your torture.

I take it this pretty display is also for Jacqueline's benefit?

You're very perceptive. But first of all it's for your benefit.

And I give you the privilege of choosing. Which do you prefer, 0?

You don't have any particular preference?

I'd like you to answer my question.

Now get undressed!

Jacqueline!

I've missed you so much.

Sit down and have coffee with us. Tell us all about is.

I'd like to introduce you to Sir Steven.

Enchanted Jacqueline. I've heard so much about you.

You have? From O?

0, you look absolutely wonderful.

I don't know your secret, but you look more beautiful every day.

René has told me you're going to be joining us at my house in the South? - He did?

Why yes, I'd be delighted. - I'm looking forward these holidays.

They look very promising.

Excuse me. I promised I'd have breakfast with my mother this morning.

She's clear across the town. I must go.

Then please allow me, my chauffeur is waiting downstairs.

He can give you a lift.

How considerate of you.

Give a lift to a young woman named Jacqueline. She'll be right down.

She'll tell you where she wants to go. Call me afterwards.

I appreciate it.

Where would you like to go, Madame?

Hello René? Happy to be back at work?

Business as usual. - Guess where I am. - Aren't you at home?

I' being driven, like a princess in Sir Steven's car.

You're fast. I barely mentioned his name, and you're already in his car.

How did you do it? - Easy. He was just getting out of bed ...

with O this morning when I arrived at home. What do you say to that?

His home is my home. It works both ways.

Homes are not all you share, if I understand correctly.

You're beginning to understand darling. Now have a nice ride. I'll call you.

When? - Wait and see.

Let me take a look at you. You don't stop growing!

You look wonderful What a surprise.

I told you if you stopped by there'll be a surprise.

My little dove, tell us everything. Why did the movie stop?

I hope it's not your fault. - Come now mother. Of course not.

I'm doing fine. It's just financing problems. - Financing problems, how terrible!

How did that ever happen? - Mother, that's awfully long to explain.

Don't worry, they'll finish the film sooner or later. - I hope sooner than later.

Meanwhile I was invited to an English lord's villa in the South.

An English lord! How lovely, darling. Where did you meet this one?

O's boyfriend introduced us. Family friends of his.

I've just had a wonderful idea.

Mother, you've just eaten breakfast!

It's just perfect! That way you can bring Natalie with you!

I can't just bring her like that! I just met them myself.

She's never had a real vacation before. Look at the poor thing.

You can't leave her here all August in the city. - I'm fine here with you.

No, you're not. Now Jacqueline, you must promise me ...

I'll see what can do. I'd love to bring you along, but ...

... it doesn't depend on me.

Now look what you've done.

I'll try. I promise.

Look what the director of the film gave me.

Look at that.

You'll be punished. And I will let you look forward to it.

Don't worry. I'll choose the most humiliating moment possible.

It's time!

Now follow me!

on

I'm hom e!

O, where are you?

O! You scared me!

How was your day? - I visited my mother. My half-sister Natalie was there.

I showed you a picture of her. - The dark-eyed beauty.

That was nothing next to now. She's changed so much in six month!

And she was so sweet. But my mother, you know how she is.

She begged me to bring Natalie along with us to Sir Steven's house.

Well why not?

The more the merrier.

I don't want her to be an imposition. But if you think it's all right.

Of course it's all right. I'll take care of everything.

Hasn't René come back yet from visiting his parents?

Yes. He called me this morning from the office.

After you left.

Oh yeah?

So you are going out with him tonight?

No. He invited me to lunch tomorrow. I'm sure he'd love it if you came too.

You haven't seen him in a long time. Because: two's company, three's a crowd.

Then why don't you go.

I don't mind, I'll see him eventually.

If O hesitated to speak to Jacqueline of her true condition

... itwas because she no longer understood it.

Anne-Marie was right, when she left Samois, she had changed drastically.

What's all that?

Sir Steven. René gave me to him.

He clipped a tag on me. Look.

He also stamped me with his initials.

The others are whip marks.

Normally he whips me himself. But he also has me whipped by his servant.

The woman he has for a housekeeper.

Would you tighten my corset please.

You're so surprised.

Should you be?

René's in love with you.

Has he told you so?

No?

I don't understand anything.

You look as if you were proud of it. I don't understand.

Haven't you started to sleep with René yet?

Little liar.

Jacqueline, my love, don't be silly.

Why not sleep with René?

You have every right to.

And that's no reason for turning your nose at me.

When René takes you to Roissy, you'll understand. - Roissy?

Now what? - Come, I'm going to tell you a story.

Once upon a time there was a castle named Roissy.

Once upon a time? Don't tell me a fairy tale.

Had Jacqueline dreaded a violent display of jealousy on O's part, ...

... or was it from curiosity about the story, or did she simply love the patience, ...

the slowness or the passion with which O caressed her.

Now tell me the story.

1 will. But first kiss the point of my breast.

It's high time you got used to it if you want to be at all useful to René.

Tell me.

There was a castle named Roissy.

The valet has the keys.

He's the one who will chain and unchain you. Who will whip you when you're punished.

You must never look any of us in the face.

You are here to serve your masters. - Make her kneel.

No.

Before anything else I want her ...

... immediately.

We've got to get past the pleasure stage.

Make her tears flow.

The whipping is less for our pleasure than for your instruction.

From now on you are going to be shared ...

... between me, my friends and any other unknown person

... affiliated with the society that owns the castle.

I am more attached to you than ever. And you too will be more attached to me.

The more you're humiliated ...

... and soiled.

I love you, I love you, I love you.

You're to get dressed now. We're leaving.

Accurate and clear as it may have been, and despite the material proof ...

... she constituted of the truth of what she related, O's story struck Jacqueline ...

... as the ravings of a madman. - And you're going back there in September?

After we return from the south.

I'll take you there, or René will.

For a look fine, but only for a look.

Of course.

You can go for a look.

O tasted a pleasure in thinking of how she would betray Jacqueline, ...

... for she had felt it an insult, the manner in which Jacqueline had eyed this condition ...

... of a branded and flogged slave, this condition of which O was proud.

I don't know.

Maybe I shouldn't come.

Nonsense. Of course you're coming. Whyever not?

O told me about Roissy and Sir Steven.

And she showed me the marks.

It surprised you didn't it? - Surprised? Even you're involved.

René, I'm not into that kind of thing.

Nobody's forcing you or O to do anything.

She's into that kind of thing because she wants to be.

That's her freedom.

Jacqueline. You're the one I love.

Just the way you are.

But my little sister's coming. I don't want her involved.

You are overreacting because you're tired from the shoot.

Trust me. You need a vacation and you're going to have a lovely time.

Your sister too. The rest is not your concern.

Just remember I love you.

I have a surprise for you. I've got good news.

I found some investors interested in putting in the money for the film.

They're meeting with the director next week.

You did!! René! I'm so happy!

What's the matter?

Can't you see I'm sleeping my love.

Come take a swim with me.

Come on.

0, set quietly and slowly to stroking the tiny inflamed morsel of ...

... flesh protruding from the cowl formed by the junction of those sweet and ...

... delicate little labia.

Pinching mercilessly, O felt ...

... it heat and rise under her fingers.

Time for our sail.

Where's Natalie? - I don't know. Let's look for her. - Let's go.

She may have gone down to the cove. Maybe she's already on the boat.

At last she's gone. I heard you, O.

Yesterday. I heard everything.

I want you to love me like you love her. I want you to make me scream too.

She doesn't love you, she doesn't. But I do.

Calm down, Natalie.

Stop that, Natalie. What's gotten into you?

If you don't want to kiss me but if you want to beat me, you can. But ...

... don't send me away. Let me stay here.

You don't have any idea what you're talking about.

So hush.

Oh yes I do.

Do you?

I saw the initials on you and the ring.

Teach me, O, please teach me.

Tell me about the marks.

I want to be like you. I'll do everything you tell me to do.

Even if you don't want to love me, keep me here with you.

Keep me with you all the time.

If you had a dog, you'd take care of him, wouldn't you?

Not so fast, Natalie.

Not so fast. You'll be allowed to stay near O.

But for now O, I forbid you to teach her the least caress,

... to kiss her on the mouth, or to let Natalie kiss you.

However, as you don't want to be separated from O ...

... you will be required to see her caressing not only Jacqueline ...

... but caressing and giving herself to me.

Is that what you want?

Yes.

Later, you'll find out about the marks.

O's kisses ...

... made Natalie tremble with jealousy and hatred.

O realised that soon she'd be her own.

That her mouth, her belly and breasts no longer belonged to her.

She was becoming a creature of a world where everything was different.

One day, perhaps, she would know nothing about herself anymore.

What would the caresses of so many people would mean to her then.

If she could not discern, could not see, could not compare them with Sir Steven.

Well? It's your turn! Play!

Check. - Great move.

"Ah" thought O. "It's the day I've always been so afraid would come.

When for René I'd turn into a shadow belonging to a past life ...

... that has now gone by. And I am not even sad, now that it has come.

Pity is all I feel, and I see him every day without feeling hurt ...

... that he no longer desires me. Without bitterness, without regret."

Only a few weeks ago, O had run across the town to beg René to tell her ...

... he loved her. She asked herself was that her love for him?

Was that all it was? So light a thing, so easily consoled?

Had new love come so easily in another's arms?

O understood that the ties of relationships were much easier to break than chains.

Do you mind. I'm not really in the mood for chess.

I thought I might take a walk. - Why naturally.

Jacqueline, would you like to join me?

No, thank you. I thought I'd read ...

I'll join you if you don't object. I'd like to discuss something with you.

Come with me. - No.

Not now. - O told herself she had only loved René as a means ...

... for learning of love and for finding out how to give herself better.

As a slave, as an ecstatic slave to Sir Steven.

He wants to talk to me about some outdoor shots he's planning.

Mountain scenes.

I don't like the influence you're having on my sister.

She's a little girl!

You're afraid.

Afraid for your sister, but most of all, afraid for yourself.

You'll see. I know you continue to want me.

You like it when I use you. Because that's all it is when I make you come.

I use you like they use me. And like you use René.

0, this is John, my director.

Nice to meet you.

Are you an actress too? - No. I work behind the camera, like you.

I'm a photographer. - Bravo. What's your ...

Tell me what's happening with the film. - I found an investor who wants to ...

... put in the money to finish the film. I'd like him to meet you.

There's only one thing. The guy saw the dailies and he thinks ...

... your role should be developed. - O yeah, how?

He wants to make your character more realistic.

Especially in the scene where you meet for the first time in his castle.

He wants you to be more sensual, more in love. - More sensual?

With Dracula? - You don't know it's Dracula yet. That's how you fall into his clutches!

There's gotta be a love scene.

That's the first time I've ever heard about vampires making love.

The guy had this great idea. You know that scene in front of the fireplace?

I'm listening. - He wants you to go further with it. You've gotta make love.

There. On the bearskin.

In front of the flames. - It it's tits and ass he wants, tell him they won't be mine.

OK. Let's go.

John, I'm counting on you for this one.

Good bye. - I'll phone you. - Good bye. - Good bye.

Your new boyfriend? - Is that any concern of yours?

It concerns René. - It also concerns René and Sir Steven and as I understood ...

... a lot of others too, is that you're not sitting right.

You're going to wrinkle your dress.

I understood, you aren't supposed to cross your legs either.

You're petrified with terror, aren't you?

With a terror that makes you freeze at the thought of what will be done to you if I talk.

but O was no longer listening to her.

If Jacqueline were threatening to betray O for her terrible sin, ...

... did se fancy this way to prevent O from betraying her to René?

How was she to tell Jacqueline that she would say nothing, without at the same time ...

... having the look of making a deal with her?

You're late.

Sir Steven's waiting for you in the other room.

He needs you.

He isn'tin a very good mood.

You could have selected another occasion. - That's not what it's all about.

But René, you have simply no idea ...

... your faithful little servant isn't always ...

... so damned obedient when you're not around.

Take a look at her dress. Rumpled and mussed, ...

... I'd say.

Turn around.

She also has a way of ...

... crossing her legs, but of course, that doesn't show.

Nor, in looking at her ...

that she has another little way of picking up boys. - That's not true!

You're the one who picks up boys! - Stop it!

O was struggling in his grip for the pleasure of feeling less strong than he.

But busy as he was holding her still, she sensed that all René's attention ...

were concentrated on Jacqueline.

The Commander.

Undress O.

Scotch as usual? - Please.

This body so near to her so intimidated, confused O . She didn't know whether she ...

... desired to flee or whether she desired the Commander to touch her.

Her somewhat small breasts create a pleasing effect ...

in contrast with her round hips ...

and her irons are massive, longer, more visible than customary.

She'll be perfect for tomorrow night. Thank you.

It was in a dream that O had heard the unknown Commander ...

... compliment Sir Stephen about her.

Now go to your room ...

... and wait.

You're so lucky: he looked 3 times in a row at your marks. At least, when he looks ...

... at you like that, you must stop thinking about Jacqueline all the time.

But I don't think about Jacqueline all the time.

You're so silly. - I'm not silly. I know you miss her.

I don't miss Jacqueline, ...

... only the use of a girl's body, with which I can do as I like.

The only reason I don't use yours is that I prefer to wait for you to be given ...

... to me at Roissy, in a few weeks.

I'm enjoying the wait. - No, if Jacqueline were here you'd caress her like that.

Certainly. - So there, you see.

I'm not in love with Jacqueline, or you, for that matter.

I'm just in love with girls because they're girls, ...

... the way one can be in love with one's own image ...

... always finding the others more arousing and lovelier ...

than one's self.

Nathalie was perhaps not so far from the truth, regarding O's feelings

for her sister. She did constantly think about caressing Jacqueline.

The pleasure O tasted in seeing a girl pant under her caresses, ...

... in seeing her eyes grow vague, swim, her eyelids close, ...

... in stiffening the tips of a girl's breasts with one's lips and teeth, ...

... in burrowing into her by thrusting one's hand into her belly ...

... or a finger into her behind.

In feeling her squeeze one's finger, one's hand, in hearing ...

... her sigh, moan, cry ...

... ah that! that she adored.

Natalie was the first to recognise that O had found the mask ...

... that suited her perfectly.

Yes.

You'll be an owl for the Commander.

Though I'm sorry to tell you O, ...

you'll be on a leash.

The Commander feels you ought to be entirely naked ...

... apart from the mask of course.

And ...

... it looks as though he were right.

Have yourself prepared tomorrow.

Walk her around.

O had become a naturally trained bird of prey that would ...

... rise and strike and bring home the quarry, every time.

It seemed to O that the girls she caressed belonged by all rights to the man ...

... to whom she herself belonged, and that she was there in a role: ...

... her role was the procuress.

Finding her ever more exciting, caressed her in a manner that was almost timid, ...

... as one does to an animal one wishes to tame.

You know, ...

nothing I can imagine no pleasure, no joy, will ever approach ...

... the happiness I feel before the freedom with which you make use of me.

Before the idea that you know there are no limits ...

... to observe in the manner ...

... you seek pleasure in my body.

I will take even more pleasure then ...

... in having you prepared for tonight.

Norah, please stop! You're hurting her!

Jacqueline! Jacqueline!

Jacqueline!

You've got to do something. They're going to kill her. - We shouldn't have come!

Let's go.

So strong was the illusion that it struck everyone as completely natural ...

... that this owl must be deaf to human speech.

And mute.

How disgusting. - You wouldn't understand.

She must be out of her mind. - But she turns you on in a way, ...

... doesn't she?

It's a bit too much. She's gone too far. - You mean you could never go so far.

Who does she belong to?

Even though they took O for an example, or for a sample, or for the object ...

... of a demonstration, not once did anyone address a word to her.

Was she then a thing of stone or wax, ...

... or a creature of some other world?

Did they think it would be pointless to try to speak to her.

Or was it that they didn't dare?
