1
00:00:23,314 --> 00:00:25,399
<i>In the
mid-18th century,</i>

2
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,777
<i>the situation in Europe
was chaotic and unstable.</i>

3
00:00:28,778 --> 00:00:33,198
<i>In response, Austria and France
aimed to solidify their alliance</i>

4
00:00:33,199 --> 00:00:36,368
<i>through a lasting promise
between the two countries.</i>

5
00:00:36,369 --> 00:00:39,830
<i>This meant a marriage between
the French Dauphin Louis</i>

6
00:00:39,831 --> 00:00:43,460
<i>and the Austrian Imperial
Princess Marie Antoinette.</i>

7
00:00:44,127 --> 00:00:46,837
<i>It was May of the year 1770</i>

8
00:00:46,838 --> 00:00:49,923
<i>when a gilded coach
carrying the young bride</i>

9
00:00:49,924 --> 00:00:51,467
<i>crossed the French border.</i>

10
00:01:15,950 --> 00:01:17,701
So this is France!

11
00:01:17,702 --> 00:01:22,373
Such a beautiful country, filled
with so many smiling faces.

12
00:01:24,292 --> 00:01:26,211
Princess
Marie Antoinette,

13
00:01:27,587 --> 00:01:30,881
now that you are the dauphine
of France, this is your country.

14
00:01:30,882 --> 00:01:35,302
The land, its people, and all its wealth
belong to you from this day forward.

15
00:01:38,932 --> 00:01:40,600
Oh my,
look over there!

16
00:01:41,226 --> 00:01:43,978
The Royal Guards are stunning as ever.

17
00:01:55,990 --> 00:01:58,159
Princess!

18
00:01:59,494 --> 00:02:02,539
Comtesse de Noialles,
do you know who that is?

19
00:02:04,499 --> 00:02:07,335
That
would be Oscar François Jarjayes.

20
00:02:07,919 --> 00:02:11,381
What beautiful young men there are
in France with such grand attire!

21
00:02:12,173 --> 00:02:14,174
I fear you are not aware.

22
00:02:14,175 --> 00:02:17,553
But Oscar is a woman, Princess.

23
00:02:17,554 --> 00:02:20,389
She is
General Jarjayes' youngest daughter.

24
00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:23,267
Though a woman, she's the captain
of the Royal Guards Regiment,

25
00:02:23,268 --> 00:02:25,145
and the major's aide-de-camp.

26
00:02:28,439 --> 00:02:30,942
Oscar
François Jarjayes...

27
00:02:37,866 --> 00:02:41,535
{\an8}MAY 1770 COMPIÈGNE

28
00:02:46,207 --> 00:02:48,543
Your Majesty the King,
Your Highness the Dauphin.

29
00:02:49,127 --> 00:02:51,713
Her Royal Highness the
Dauphine has arrived.

30
00:02:58,845 --> 00:03:03,015
Your Majesty. I am truly honored
to make your acquaintance.

31
00:03:05,685 --> 00:03:08,228
Nothing could have prepared
me for how lovely you are!

32
00:03:08,229 --> 00:03:09,563
It's as if this young bride

33
00:03:09,564 --> 00:03:13,692
was born to spread joy throughout
all of France.

34
00:03:16,279 --> 00:03:19,781
Now, the young man back there
in the yellow is your husband,

35
00:03:19,782 --> 00:03:22,285
the Dauphin Louis,
my eldest grandson.

36
00:03:26,748 --> 00:03:29,333
<i>This is the
husband Mother talked about?</i>

37
00:03:29,334 --> 00:03:33,129
For goodness sake! Come and give
your bride a kiss on the cheek.

38
00:03:44,182 --> 00:03:46,516
If the beauty of your
bride is any indication,

39
00:03:46,517 --> 00:03:48,560
the future of France
will shine as brightly...

40
00:03:48,561 --> 00:03:50,938
<i>Why was my
heart still when he kissed me?</i>

41
00:03:50,939 --> 00:03:52,648
<i>Why did it not flutter?</i>

42
00:03:52,649 --> 00:03:54,567
Oh, well, that was quick.

43
00:03:59,155 --> 00:04:03,492
<i>The youngest daughter of the
renowned Austrian Empress Maria Theresa,</i>

44
00:04:03,493 --> 00:04:06,703
<i>now Princess of France,
Marie Antoinette.</i>

45
00:04:06,704 --> 00:04:09,498
<i>The youngest daughter of
the noble Jarjayes family</i>

46
00:04:09,499 --> 00:04:11,583
<i>serving the French royal family,</i>

47
00:04:11,584 --> 00:04:14,378
<i>raised by her father
as a son and heir,</i>

48
00:04:14,379 --> 00:04:17,048
<i>Oscar-François Jarjayes.</i>

49
00:04:19,384 --> 00:04:23,095
<i>These beautiful roses will
live through turbulent times,</i>

50
00:04:23,096 --> 00:04:26,599
<i>blooming and flowering in
their own unique ways...</i>

51
00:04:32,981 --> 00:04:37,110
<i>near the heart of
France, in Versailles.</i>

52
00:04:45,076 --> 00:04:46,285

Bravo, you've improved, André.

93
00:07:27,572 --> 00:07:31,075
No matter how hard I practice,
you're still the best.

94
00:07:33,870 --> 00:07:35,454
The time has finally come.

95
00:07:35,455 --> 00:07:37,790
The day you spent
years waiting for.

96
00:07:38,291 --> 00:07:41,461
I was
only 11 at the time.

97
00:07:42,462 --> 00:07:45,464
<i>Father told me that I would
serve and protect the future dauphine,</i>

98
00:07:45,465 --> 00:07:48,134
<i>Princess Marie Antoinette.</i>

99
00:07:50,052 --> 00:07:53,764
Today, when I first saw
Princess Marie Antoinette,

100
00:07:54,390 --> 00:07:58,310
her grace and dignity, they were
as natural to her as breathing.

101
00:07:58,311 --> 00:08:01,481
She was truly born to be queen.

102
00:08:02,273 --> 00:08:03,273
I know it now.

103
00:08:03,900 --> 00:08:06,443
My life's mission is to
keep Her Highness safe

104
00:08:06,444 --> 00:08:07,987
with everything that I am.

105
00:08:12,867 --> 00:08:14,201
- André.
- Hm?

106
00:08:14,202 --> 00:08:16,703
Being an attendant for
me will have perks now,

107
00:08:16,704 --> 00:08:19,081
starting with more
chances to see the palace.

108
00:08:19,707 --> 00:08:22,459
I will certainly need
help. Are you up for it?

109
00:08:22,460 --> 00:08:24,169
Yes, of course.

110
00:08:24,170 --> 00:08:28,216
I will always be by your side. That
has never changed, and never will.

111
00:08:34,055 --> 00:08:37,140
Oscar, you did
your duties well today.

112
00:08:37,141 --> 00:08:38,142
Yes, Father.

113
00:08:40,311 --> 00:08:43,731
You are our pride and joy.
Both to the Jarjayes and to me.

114
00:08:44,982 --> 00:08:46,234
Thank you, Father.

115
00:08:46,817 --> 00:08:49,819
André, were you out
practicing with swords again?

116
00:08:49,820 --> 00:08:50,820
Grandma.

117
00:08:50,821 --> 00:08:53,031
- Protect her.
- Hm. Listen here.

118
00:08:53,032 --> 00:08:56,368
Lady Oscar may be friendly and
extend you special treatment,

119
00:08:56,369 --> 00:08:58,286
but you must never forget,

120
00:08:58,287 --> 00:09:01,374
they are nobility, while we
are commoners and servants.

121
00:09:02,124 --> 00:09:04,335
Yes, I am still
fully aware of that.

122
00:09:06,587 --> 00:09:08,505
- Understood?
- Sir. Yes, sir.

123
00:09:08,506 --> 00:09:10,841

Three years of marriage
have passed quickly.

155
00:11:38,239 --> 00:11:41,449
Yet I wonder why the dauphin
stays at such a distance?

156
00:11:41,450 --> 00:11:44,620
Being reserved and considerate are
features of His Royal Highness.

157
00:11:46,205 --> 00:11:48,582
There was a book
that I once read.

158
00:11:49,208 --> 00:11:52,586
I believed it when it said women
marry their destined partner

159
00:11:53,254 --> 00:11:54,880
only after they fall in love.

160
00:11:56,340 --> 00:12:00,135
A love that soars like
Icarus on brilliant wings.

161
00:12:00,136 --> 00:12:03,513
An intense storm of yearning
that strikes like lightning,

162
00:12:03,514 --> 00:12:05,015
changing you forever.

163
00:12:06,684 --> 00:12:08,017
Is this my life?

164
00:12:08,018 --> 00:12:10,103
Living in the
absence of that love

165
00:12:10,104 --> 00:12:11,730
with joy evading me?

166
00:12:11,731 --> 00:12:13,732
Joy will not evade you.

167
00:12:13,733 --> 00:12:16,234
There is a remarkable
duty you will inherit.

168
00:12:16,235 --> 00:12:18,404
You are to become
the Queen of France.

169
00:12:19,029 --> 00:12:23,658
If I may, no ordinary woman could
ever hope for a life such as yours.

170
00:12:23,659 --> 00:12:24,659
I know.

171
00:12:24,660 --> 00:12:29,873
Myself, I have the honor of
protecting Princess Marie Antoinette.

172
00:12:29,874 --> 00:12:32,209
My delight, and
most important duty.

173
00:12:32,752 --> 00:12:33,878
Oscar...

174
00:12:34,378 --> 00:12:37,422
Moments like
these make me sure of it.

175
00:12:37,423 --> 00:12:39,675
Had you been born a
man, I would be in love.

176
00:12:45,639 --> 00:12:48,391
Princess, I beg you,
return to your chambers!

177
00:12:48,392 --> 00:12:52,229
Sneaking off to Paris in the middle
of the night would invite disaster.

178
00:12:54,648 --> 00:12:58,359
Allow it this once, Oscar. Please,
I feel so trapped right now.

00:14:35,249 --> 00:14:37,876
Pardon me. May I
have the next dance?

202
00:14:39,753 --> 00:14:42,047
- State your name at once!
- Oscar!

203
00:14:42,923 --> 00:14:44,883
When asking for the
name of a stranger,

204
00:14:44,884 --> 00:14:48,012
is it not common courtesy
to start by giving your own?

205
00:14:48,929 --> 00:14:50,972
Oscar François Jarjayes.

206
00:14:50,973 --> 00:14:53,933
Royal Guards Regiment major's
aide-de-camp and captain.

207
00:14:53,934 --> 00:14:56,353
Hans Axel von Fersen is my name.

208
00:14:56,979 --> 00:14:59,899
From Sweden. My title
is that of count.

209
00:15:00,733 --> 00:15:01,733
Von Fersen.

210
00:15:02,276 --> 00:15:04,569
If you truly want
a conversation,

211
00:15:04,570 --> 00:15:08,740
you can come to the Palace of Versailles
and properly request a formal audience.

212
00:15:08,741 --> 00:15:09,657
Uh...

213
00:15:09,658 --> 00:15:13,161
As for title, she is
the dauphine of France,

214
00:15:13,162 --> 00:15:14,829
Princess Marie Antoinette.

215
00:15:16,624 --> 00:15:17,624
Uh...

216
00:15:21,712 --> 00:15:22,755
Your Highness.

217
00:15:24,632 --> 00:15:26,174
There is a young Swedish count

218
00:15:26,175 --> 00:15:28,635
who hopes to obtain an
audience with you if permitted.

219
00:15:33,015 --> 00:15:36,309
How very kind
of you to come, Count von Fersen.

220
00:15:36,310 --> 00:15:39,730
To see you again
is a joy. I am honored.

221
00:15:52,534 --> 00:15:54,094
Someone please help!

222
00:15:54,912 --> 00:15:57,622
Please hold tight, Princess!

223
00:16:02,586 --> 00:16:03,503
Ha!

224
00:16:05,506 --> 00:16:07,590
Your Highness!
Please close your eyes.

225
00:16:07,591 --> 00:16:08,842
Please help me, Oscar!

226
00:16:15,808 --> 00:16:16,892
Your Highness!

227
00:16:17,559 --> 00:16:18,559
Oscar!

228
00:16:22,189 --> 00:16:24,065
André, correct?

229
00:16:24,066 --> 00:16:27,068
The dauphine was injured
facing grave peril

230
00:16:27,069 --> 00:16:29,445
due to a horse you
brought out of the stable.

231
00:16:29,446 --> 00:16:32,073
The punishment for your
crime shall be death!

232
00:16:34,743 --> 00:16:36,577
Your Majesty!

233
00:16:36,578 --> 00:16:38,579
What is this?

234
00:16:43,168 --> 00:16:47,422
What happened was an accident.
André is not the one to blame here.

235
00:16:47,423 --> 00:16:50,091
Most of you witnessed
the event, did you not?

236
00:16:54,263 --> 00:16:56,974
Your Majesty, please.

237
00:16:57,516 --> 00:16:59,685
If André must be the one
condemned for this...

238
00:17:02,146 --> 00:17:05,940
then as his master, André's
responsibility is mine.

239
00:17:05,941 --> 00:17:09,485
So please allow my life
to be the first to atone.

240
00:17:09,486 --> 00:17:11,112
Right here and now.

241
00:17:14,992 --> 00:17:15,992
Oscar, you...

242
00:17:16,827 --> 00:17:19,747
André is not the one at fault!

243
00:17:22,541 --> 00:17:26,754
Majesty, I was witness to the
events today and I saw everything.

244
00:17:27,337 --> 00:17:28,464
Please reconsider.

245
00:17:29,006 --> 00:17:30,049
Fersen...

246
00:17:31,050 --> 00:17:33,177
You're not the only one
who can die for justice.

247
00:17:33,761 --> 00:17:34,761
Uh...

248
00:17:35,512 --> 00:17:38,556
This... This situation is
completely unacceptable.

249
00:17:38,557 --> 00:17:40,637
Your Majesty!

250
00:17:42,603 --> 00:17:43,854
Marie Antoinette.

251
00:17:46,899 --> 00:17:50,569
Please. Your Majesty, I am
the one who is to blame.

252
00:17:51,153 --> 00:17:54,030
It was my selfish insistence
to try horseback riding.

253
00:17:54,031 --> 00:17:57,366
My inexperience was to blame
for startling that poor horse.

254
00:17:57,367 --> 00:17:59,495
André! Oscar! Von Fersen!

255
00:18:00,079 --> 00:18:04,083
Please, I cannot bear the thought
of any of you dying because of me.

256
00:18:04,666 --> 00:18:05,875
But fear not.

257
00:18:05,876 --> 00:18:09,004
His Majesty the King is
both benevolent and kind.

258
00:18:11,548 --> 00:18:12,758
Very well.

259
00:18:13,467 --> 00:18:16,678
Since the Dauphine of
France is insistent upon it,

260
00:18:17,513 --> 00:18:20,890
there is no blame that shall
befall anyone for this incident.

261
00:18:25,979 --> 00:18:30,359
Young André, masters such
as yours are a rare breed.

262
00:18:30,901 --> 00:18:34,488
Yes, sire.

263
00:18:36,281 --> 00:18:39,159
Fersen, you have my gratitude.

264
00:18:39,660 --> 00:18:41,994
This is a favor that I
will not soon forget.

265
00:18:41,995 --> 00:18:43,789
Oscar!

266
00:18:44,915 --> 00:18:47,042
- Oscar!
- Oscar!

267
00:18:50,170 --> 00:18:51,838
My goodness,

268
00:18:51,839 --> 00:18:55,049
you received quite a horrid
bruise from that fall.

269
00:18:55,050 --> 00:18:58,303
I have a special-made poultice
I'll bring out for you.

270
00:18:58,804 --> 00:18:59,804
Thank you.

271
00:19:00,139 --> 00:19:01,055
Oh!

272
00:19:01,056 --> 00:19:02,515
- Oh, André!
- Oh, uh...

273
00:19:02,516 --> 00:19:05,519
You will take Count von Fersen
and wait outside of the room.

274
00:19:06,019 --> 00:19:08,646
- Right.
- Why for?

275
00:19:08,647 --> 00:19:12,108
Do you mean to say French nobles are
unable to show their bodies to other men?

276
00:19:14,111 --> 00:19:17,446
How dare you speak to my
lady in such a flagrant manner?!

277
00:19:17,447 --> 00:19:18,699
Whoa!

278
00:19:20,701 --> 00:19:22,995
You mean he... he was a woman?

279
00:19:23,579 --> 00:19:25,496
Yes. She is.

280
00:19:25,497 --> 00:19:26,914
Makes sense...

281
00:19:26,915 --> 00:19:29,793
That slender frame,
the air of fragility.

282
00:19:30,669 --> 00:19:31,669
But then...

283
00:19:35,883 --> 00:19:38,343
Oh. Now that is a man.

284
00:19:47,686 --> 00:19:48,686
Oscar.

285
00:19:49,146 --> 00:19:50,146
You saved me.

286
00:19:50,564 --> 00:19:52,524
Taking a risk with
your very life.

287
00:19:53,150 --> 00:19:54,234
One day,

288
00:19:54,902 --> 00:19:58,155
will I have that chance to
lay down my life for yours?

289
00:20:02,117 --> 00:20:05,287
<i>It was April of 1774.</i>

290
00:20:05,787 --> 00:20:09,582

They are.

315
00:21:44,177 --> 00:21:47,723
A taste of the strong expectations
the people have for this new era.

316
00:21:51,018 --> 00:21:54,563
Oscar. Thank
you for your impeccable service.

317
00:21:55,272 --> 00:21:57,356
Becoming Major of
the Royal Guard,

318
00:21:57,357 --> 00:22:00,444
I hope you will continue to
faithfully serve at my side.

319
00:22:01,111 --> 00:22:05,115
As thanks, I will have your wages
doubled from their current rate.

320
00:22:07,367 --> 00:22:10,119
This is an honor far
beyond what I deserve

321
00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:11,872
for a noble not yet 20.

322
00:22:12,456 --> 00:22:13,915
- Although...
- Uh...

323
00:22:14,458 --> 00:22:15,916
...France
faces challenges.

324
00:22:15,917 --> 00:22:18,420
The coffers of our
country are far from full.

325
00:22:19,212 --> 00:22:22,340
Therefore, I request that
my wages stay the same.

326
00:22:22,341 --> 00:22:25,844
- Oscar!
- If not the case, I will not advance,

327
00:22:26,386 --> 00:22:28,304
and turn down this promotion.

328
00:22:30,265 --> 00:22:31,391
I understand.

329
00:22:32,100 --> 00:22:33,100
Although...

330
00:22:34,227 --> 00:22:37,730
Ah! But in
this new position,

331
00:22:37,731 --> 00:22:39,940
I have the ability to
grant any wish you have!

332
00:22:39,941 --> 00:22:43,444
My dear Oscar, what
is it that you desire?

333
00:22:43,445 --> 00:22:45,571
I have but one wish.

334
00:22:45,572 --> 00:22:49,618
That Queen Marie Antoinette will become
the wonderful queen the realm needs.

335
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,453
That is all I desire, Majesty.

336
00:22:52,454 --> 00:22:54,622
Ah!

337
00:22:54,623 --> 00:22:58,001
This is one of the many things
I love about you, my dear Oscar.

338
00:22:59,461 --> 00:23:01,420
I have an idea!

339
00:23:01,421 --> 00:23:03,672
Next time, you should
bring André along.

340
00:23:03,673 --> 00:23:04,924
Count von Fersen too.

341
00:23:04,925 --> 00:23:08,386
How lovely! The four of us
could have a tea party together.

342
00:23:09,888 --> 00:23:11,639
Forward march!

343
00:23:13,809 --> 00:23:15,185
Shoulder arms!

344
00:23:18,021 --> 00:23:19,314
Present arms!

345
00:23:28,532 --> 00:23:30,116
Captain Girodelle.

346
00:23:30,117 --> 00:23:32,577
Major. Congratulations.

347
00:23:33,495 --> 00:23:35,496
Major.

348
00:23:35,497 --> 00:23:39,458
If I'm honest, I feel someone like you
would be better suited to the title.

349
00:23:39,459 --> 00:23:40,544
No, no.

350
00:23:41,211 --> 00:23:42,336
It is my firm belief

351
00:23:42,337 --> 00:23:45,507
that you are the appropriate
choice to be a leader for others.

352
00:23:46,007 --> 00:23:47,217
How kind.

353
00:23:48,051 --> 00:23:50,303
- Is there something troubling you?
- Pardon?

354
00:23:51,304 --> 00:23:53,598
Your expression
seems somber today.

355
00:23:54,766 --> 00:23:56,726
Perhaps a trick of the light.

356
00:24:01,314 --> 00:24:04,025
Inviting a commoner
like me to tea?

357
00:24:04,526 --> 00:24:06,152
That's quite an honor.

358
00:24:06,153 --> 00:24:08,112
Her Majesty is very kind.

359
00:24:08,113 --> 00:24:10,365
When she feels something,
she feels it deeply.

360
00:24:10,991 --> 00:24:12,867
When she likes
someone, it's the same.

361
00:24:12,868 --> 00:24:15,662
She acts on her emotions,
trying to be good to them.

362
00:24:16,580 --> 00:24:19,624
That said, her
candidness frightens me.

363
00:24:20,250 --> 00:24:21,959
Huh? What do you mean?

364
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,045
The money that Her Majesty
spends isn't directly hers.

365
00:24:25,046 --> 00:24:27,131
Her subjects pay heavy taxes.

366
00:24:27,132 --> 00:24:32,136
I worry that the people could start
feeling resentment toward her.

367
00:24:32,137 --> 00:24:34,388
You have nothing to worry about.

368
00:24:34,389 --> 00:24:37,141
The public are absolutely
infatuated with her.

369
00:24:37,142 --> 00:24:39,978
I hope that will
continue to be the case.

370
00:24:40,812 --> 00:24:41,980
- And yet...
- Hm?

371
00:24:43,273 --> 00:24:47,402
There's something I need to do. Another
situation that needs my attention.

372
00:24:51,740 --> 00:24:53,617
Hm?

373
00:25:05,504 --> 00:25:08,797
Oscar, I came
to bid you farewell.

374
00:25:08,798 --> 00:25:09,799
Huh?

375
00:25:10,383 --> 00:25:12,968
I've decided to
return to Sweden.

376
00:25:12,969 --> 00:25:15,096
The queen's reputation
depends on it.

377
00:25:16,806 --> 00:25:18,474
Her reputation, you say?

378
00:25:18,475 --> 00:25:19,475
Indeed.

379
00:25:19,976 --> 00:25:21,936
Your keen eye likely noticed.

380
00:25:21,937 --> 00:25:24,856
Luckily, no rumors
have spread yet.

381
00:25:27,192 --> 00:25:28,985
Of course.

382
00:25:30,946 --> 00:25:34,991
Her Majesty has shown a
special kind of interest in me.

383
00:25:35,784 --> 00:25:37,993
Her Majesty is excessively kind.

384
00:25:42,374 --> 00:25:45,834
<i>♪ Just a
minute, nothing much ♪</i>

385
00:25:45,835 --> 00:25:48,296

386
00:25:49,965 --> 00:25:51,883

<i>♪ Your candor gleaming everywhere

388
00:25:57,013 --> 00:25:58,056
I agree.

389
00:25:58,723 --> 00:26:00,975
During her time as
the crown princess,

390
00:26:00,976 --> 00:26:03,769
she had little restriction
and could do as she pleased,

391
00:26:03,770 --> 00:26:05,313
be around whomever she wanted.

392
00:26:06,147 --> 00:26:08,275
Now, things have changed.

393
00:26:08,775 --> 00:26:11,277
She is now Her Majesty,
the Queen of France.

394
00:26:11,278 --> 00:26:14,155
I know. Which is
why I must leave.

395
00:26:14,990 --> 00:26:16,575
Before court starts rumors.

396
00:26:17,075 --> 00:26:20,202
Before it becomes something
neither of us can stop.

397
00:26:20,203 --> 00:26:22,663
<i>♪ You're a rose That is
so wild and free... ♪</i>

398
00:26:22,664 --> 00:26:24,332
Then our thoughts are aligned.

399
00:26:26,543 --> 00:26:29,671
In truth, I was actually on
my way to visit your home.

400
00:26:30,171 --> 00:26:33,091
The advice I aimed to give you
was for you to leave France.

401
00:26:33,717 --> 00:26:37,970
Thankfully, it seems there was
no need to broach the subject.

402
00:26:37,971 --> 00:26:41,474
Ah, then, it was that apparent.

403
00:26:44,060 --> 00:26:47,479
Oscar, please keep
her safe in my stead.

404
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,440
Provide the support she needs.

405
00:26:49,441 --> 00:26:51,859
I will see it done.
You have my word.

406
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,948
When I first learned you
were a woman, I was shocked.

407
00:26:57,949 --> 00:26:58,949
Huh?

408
00:26:59,409 --> 00:27:00,409
You are

409
00:27:00,827 --> 00:27:03,913
a credit to your class,
regardless of what gender you are.

410
00:27:04,789 --> 00:27:07,124
You are a valuable
friend, worthy of respect.

411
00:27:07,125 --> 00:27:11,253
What kind words.
As I feel the same with you.

412
00:27:12,714 --> 00:27:13,714
Is that right?

413
00:27:14,591 --> 00:27:16,718
Oscar, we will meet again.

414
00:27:18,595 --> 00:27:19,595
Won't we?

415
00:27:21,097 --> 00:27:22,474
Yes, we will.

416
00:27:23,183 --> 00:27:24,183
Until then.

417
00:27:28,980 --> 00:27:30,106
Von Fersen left?

418
00:27:30,607 --> 00:27:32,442
Back to Sweden? Oh.

419
00:27:38,323 --> 00:27:39,991
Why do I feel so strange?

420
00:27:40,867 --> 00:27:41,867
What is this?

421
00:27:42,494 --> 00:27:45,538
I feel as though a gaping hole
has been torn in my heart.

422
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,053
<i>After
Count von Fersen left,</i>

423
00:28:01,054 --> 00:28:04,682
<i>Marie Antoinette began to surround
herself with her favorite courtiers,</i>

424
00:28:04,683 --> 00:28:07,977
<i>most of whom exacerbated
her indulgent tendencies.</i>

425
00:28:18,113 --> 00:28:21,865
Your courtiers have encouraged
you to engage in gambling.

426
00:28:21,866 --> 00:28:25,328
You often dote on them, giving
titles and land as they ask.

427
00:28:26,121 --> 00:28:29,331
Please, Your Majesty, you
must show more restraint.

428
00:28:29,332 --> 00:28:31,375
Oh, Oscar.

429
00:28:31,376 --> 00:28:34,920
Being generous with my friends
is no great crime now, is it?

430
00:28:34,921 --> 00:28:37,631
Merely friendly gestures.
Being kind is a good thing.

431
00:28:37,632 --> 00:28:39,258
But, Your Majesty!

432
00:28:42,846 --> 00:28:44,763
<i>Three
years have passed,</i>

433
00:28:44,764 --> 00:28:48,935
<i>and the lives of the common people
descended into the depths of poverty.</i>

434
00:28:49,602 --> 00:28:51,437
<i>Marie Antoinette's
extravagant spending</i>

435
00:28:51,438 --> 00:28:54,106
<i>was not solely to blame
for this situation.</i>

436
00:28:54,107 --> 00:28:57,861
<i>She was, however, an easy
target for resentment.</i>

437
00:29:03,700 --> 00:29:06,535
- We have no bread!
- No milk for my child.

438
00:29:06,536 --> 00:29:09,079
That Austrian
woman is destroying France.

439
00:29:10,290 --> 00:29:13,376
How are we supposed to
survive if this keeps happening?

440
00:29:33,354 --> 00:29:34,564
Four years already?

441
00:29:35,064 --> 00:29:36,441
Hardly recognized you.

442
00:29:37,275 --> 00:29:39,527
I hear talk of you
even in Sweden now.

443
00:29:40,111 --> 00:29:42,780
Chatter of a skilled woman
leading the Royal Guard.

444
00:29:42,781 --> 00:29:43,865
Uh...

445
00:29:44,699 --> 00:29:48,535
So, how long will you be
staying in France this time?

446
00:29:48,536 --> 00:29:50,537
Unknown. It depends.

447
00:29:50,538 --> 00:29:53,957
The reason I came is
to find myself a bride.

448
00:29:53,958 --> 00:29:54,875
Oh?

449
00:29:54,876 --> 00:29:56,919
Following my Father's orders.

450
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,838
I will succeed him
as count one day.

451
00:29:59,380 --> 00:30:02,341
Staying single forever
isn't an option, of course.

452
00:30:02,342 --> 00:30:04,135
I... I see.

453
00:30:05,178 --> 00:30:06,554
And what of Her Majesty?

454
00:30:07,263 --> 00:30:09,265
Tomorrow, I will
visit her at court.

455
00:30:09,974 --> 00:30:14,187
Although, the days of casually visiting
with her are a thing of the past.

456
00:30:15,230 --> 00:30:16,481
You are correct.

457
00:30:22,278 --> 00:30:23,571
Finding a bride?

458
00:30:24,113 --> 00:30:25,113
Fersen?

459
00:30:30,662 --> 00:30:32,497
What is this pain in my chest?

460
00:30:39,754 --> 00:30:43,550
Is that
really Hans Axel von Fersen?

461
00:30:47,804 --> 00:30:48,804
Your Majesty.

462
00:30:49,180 --> 00:30:52,933
My visit is short-lived. I intend
to find a wife while in France.

463
00:30:56,062 --> 00:30:58,231
I will see you
later, Your Majesty.

464
00:31:01,985 --> 00:31:02,985
Fersen?

465
00:31:03,570 --> 00:31:04,571
Getting married?

466
00:31:07,448 --> 00:31:09,408
It was always bound to happen.

467
00:31:09,409 --> 00:31:11,452
Why should I be so surprised?

468
00:31:12,704 --> 00:31:13,704
Why?

469
00:31:16,082 --> 00:31:17,082
My heart.

470
00:31:23,214 --> 00:31:24,215
I had to.

471
00:31:24,966 --> 00:31:27,886
I know that staying away from
her is the right thing to do.

472
00:31:28,887 --> 00:31:32,891
Had I followed my feelings, I
would be betraying His Majesty.

473
00:31:36,102 --> 00:31:37,312
This is for the best.

474
00:31:37,854 --> 00:31:40,690
Watching her from a
distance, where it's safe.

475
00:31:48,406 --> 00:31:49,406
Fersen!

476
00:31:57,916 --> 00:31:58,916
Uh...

477
00:31:59,292 --> 00:32:01,835
Your Majesty. Apologies.

478
00:32:01,836 --> 00:32:03,004
No, no.

479
00:32:04,923 --> 00:32:08,383
So then, have you
decided who you...

480
00:32:08,384 --> 00:32:09,844
The one that you wish to marry?

481
00:32:11,262 --> 00:32:15,057
There will be meetings
with some eligible ladies.

482
00:32:17,352 --> 00:32:19,270
That is... very good.

483
00:32:19,938 --> 00:32:22,440
Please do let me know
who you decide upon.

484
00:32:23,232 --> 00:32:24,692
We should celebrate, no?

485
00:32:32,367 --> 00:32:34,577
Thank you. I look forward to it.

486
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,207
I wish you
every joy in life.

487
00:33:14,909 --> 00:33:20,540

The Queen seems to shine with even

523
00:35:56,612 --> 00:35:58,530
Are you
not yet aware, then?

524
00:35:58,531 --> 00:36:00,615
My understanding
is that Count von Fersen

525
00:36:00,616 --> 00:36:02,492
is the reason for her glow.

526
00:36:02,493 --> 00:36:05,912
- Quite so. He is her lover!
- Surely you jest!

527
00:36:05,913 --> 00:36:07,956
That is most
troublesome news.

528
00:36:07,957 --> 00:36:10,584
Has Her Majesty forgotten
her duties as queen?

529
00:36:10,585 --> 00:36:12,252
Betraying
His Majesty the King

530
00:36:12,253 --> 00:36:15,213
is tantamount to betraying
the whole of France.

531
00:36:15,214 --> 00:36:17,133
How shameful.

532
00:36:19,677 --> 00:36:23,306
Your Majesty. With utmost
respect, I beg to offer counsel.

533
00:36:25,391 --> 00:36:26,641
Within the court,

534
00:36:26,642 --> 00:36:29,312
there are rumors of your
relationship with von Fersen.

535
00:36:29,812 --> 00:36:34,066
Did you forget what your position as
the Queen of France demands of you?

536
00:36:34,567 --> 00:36:36,068
As the mother of our nation?

537
00:36:36,861 --> 00:36:38,320
Aside from Fersen,

538
00:36:38,321 --> 00:36:41,364
your indulgences and
extravagances are a danger.

539
00:36:41,365 --> 00:36:42,742
The people suffer.

540
00:36:43,326 --> 00:36:46,162
Resentment is brewing among
nobles and commoners alike.

541
00:36:46,913 --> 00:36:49,665
I ask... No, I beg
you to heed my advice.

542
00:36:50,625 --> 00:36:54,837
Should this continue, I fear a grave
peril will befall you, Your Majesty.

543
00:36:56,339 --> 00:36:57,548
Thank you, Oscar.

544
00:36:58,216 --> 00:37:01,426
I am eternally grateful for the
deep concern you hold for me.

545
00:37:01,427 --> 00:37:02,469
Does that mean...

546
00:37:02,470 --> 00:37:03,596
- Although...
- Uh...

547
00:37:04,347 --> 00:37:06,432
...I had hoped a fellow
woman would understand.

548
00:37:06,933 --> 00:37:08,558
Yet it seems that you
are fully unaware.

549
00:37:08,559 --> 00:37:09,559
Uh...

550
00:37:10,144 --> 00:37:12,646
When I
was but 14 years of age,

551
00:37:12,647 --> 00:37:14,606
I came to this
country to be married.

552
00:37:18,277 --> 00:37:20,613
What could I have
known then of love?

553
00:37:21,155 --> 00:37:23,699
I was still a child who
just wanted to play.

554
00:37:24,325 --> 00:37:26,410
For an alliance, I
became the dauphine.

555
00:37:26,994 --> 00:37:31,707
Then I became queen of all of France,
called "The Mother of the Nation."

556
00:37:32,416 --> 00:37:36,962
My life has been sacrificed for the
good of this kingdom and its people,

557
00:37:36,963 --> 00:37:38,673
but I have needs as well.

558
00:37:39,298 --> 00:37:40,466
So, why?

559
00:37:41,217 --> 00:37:43,719
Why should I forsake
my humanity for title?

560
00:37:44,262 --> 00:37:45,595
Do I ignore loneliness?

561
00:37:45,596 --> 00:37:50,226
The cold? The quaking desire to
be loved, and to love in return?

562
00:37:51,060 --> 00:37:52,561
Your... Your Majesty...

563
00:37:55,022 --> 00:37:57,900
His Majesty
the King is a wonderful man.

564
00:37:58,401 --> 00:38:02,280
<i>His compassion, modesty, and
studiousness are admirable.</i>

565
00:38:02,863 --> 00:38:04,907
I hold him in the
highest regard.

566
00:38:05,825 --> 00:38:06,825
But love?

567
00:38:07,743 --> 00:38:09,537
What he gives me is not...

568
00:38:10,162 --> 00:38:11,580
We do not have love.

569
00:38:13,499 --> 00:38:15,251
With Fersen...

570
00:38:16,502 --> 00:38:17,837
When I see him,

571
00:38:18,421 --> 00:38:21,674
I know that the rest of my
youth exists purely to love him.

572
00:38:22,258 --> 00:38:23,968
He is my first love.

573
00:38:25,720 --> 00:38:28,638
The love that
soars like Icarus in the sky.

574
00:38:28,639 --> 00:38:32,601
The storm of yearning that struck
my heart like lightning in a storm.

575
00:38:34,061 --> 00:38:37,481
Emotions that I had long since
forsaken ever getting to feel.

576
00:38:38,065 --> 00:38:40,901
Now, I am enveloped
in their warmth.

577
00:38:52,747 --> 00:38:53,998

00:38:54,623 --> 00:38:55,623

Since childhood, my father told me
that task superseded my own life.

586
00:39:20,316 --> 00:39:22,902
And yet, I see that I failed.

587
00:39:24,528 --> 00:39:28,365
Despite all these years where I
was right by her side.

588
00:39:28,366 --> 00:39:29,324

00:39:48,844 --> 00:39:50,970
I decided that I will
never take a wife.

595
00:39:50,971 --> 00:39:52,472
Fersen!

596
00:39:52,473 --> 00:39:54,934
There is only one woman
who holds my heart.

597
00:39:55,518 --> 00:39:58,979
I wish to spend my days with
her. To live in her light.

598
00:39:59,605 --> 00:40:02,566
That said, the love I
feel is not one-sided.

599
00:40:03,067 --> 00:40:05,236
This is a love that
the two of us share.

600
00:40:06,070 --> 00:40:09,740
Yet despite that, marrying
her is out of the question.

601
00:40:10,449 --> 00:40:11,449
Therefore,

602
00:40:12,076 --> 00:40:15,370
I will never marry anyone
for as long as I live.

603
00:40:17,456 --> 00:40:20,166
God put her in my
path for a reason.

604
00:40:20,167 --> 00:40:21,210
Von Fersen...

605
00:40:21,752 --> 00:40:22,752
However...

606
00:40:25,214 --> 00:40:26,882
it is an unbearable pain.

607
00:40:27,883 --> 00:40:30,386
Feeling this distance
whenever I see her.

608
00:40:30,970 --> 00:40:34,639
My queen, who I love so deeply.

609
00:40:39,145 --> 00:40:42,022
To feel such love, and
such pain as well...

610

614
00:41:00,624 --> 00:41:01,624
Then why...

615
00:41:02,293 --> 00:41:03,711
Why is it so heavy?

616
00:41:17,266 --> 00:41:19,143
There,
in the white dress.

680

681
00:45:27,933 --> 00:45:30,435
<i>France viewed
Britain as an enemy,</i>

682
00:45:30,436 --> 00:45:33,688
<i>and decided to support the
Americans in their effort.</i>

683
00:45:33,689 --> 00:45:37,692
<i>This aid strained France's
dwindling economy even further.</i>

684
00:45:37,693 --> 00:45:41,028
<i>Simultaneously, a series
of natural disasters</i>

685
00:45:41,029 --> 00:45:43,573
<i>ravaged crops and
decimated cattle,</i>

00:45:46,034 --> 00:45:48,453
SEVEN YEARS LATER 1785

688
00:45:50,956 --> 00:45:52,958
- I didn't!
- I know you stole it!

689
00:45:53,542 --> 00:45:54,960
It hurts.

690
00:45:56,712 --> 00:45:58,255
Stop, thief!

691
00:46:00,007 --> 00:46:02,009
The situation is
worse than I thought.

692
00:46:04,887 --> 00:46:07,889
Commoners facing oppression
is the way of the world.

693
00:46:07,890 --> 00:46:08,890
I was lucky.

694
00:46:09,391 --> 00:46:12,561
If I wasn't adopted by Grandma
when I was a child, then...

695
00:46:13,061 --> 00:46:15,272
Oh... I... I mean...

696
00:46:16,023 --> 00:46:17,565
Nothing you said was wrong.

697
00:46:17,566 --> 00:46:19,108
Sad and true.

698
00:46:19,109 --> 00:46:22,111
But the nobility of
Versailles have no idea.

699
00:46:22,112 --> 00:46:23,572
Not just the nobles.

700
00:46:24,114 --> 00:46:27,200
The King and Queen are oblivious
to their people's plight.

701
00:46:34,541 --> 00:46:35,875
Please, I beg you forgive him.

702
00:46:35,876 --> 00:46:39,420
That this boy would attempt to steal
money from the servant of a duke,

703
00:46:39,421 --> 00:46:41,172
and with such an
unscrupulous method!

704
00:46:41,173 --> 00:46:45,093
It sounds like that boy ran
out into the street to stop the carriage.

705
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:47,720
He knew a servant
would come check on things.

706
00:46:47,721 --> 00:46:50,223
The kid tried to snatch
his wallet out of nowhere.

707
00:46:50,224 --> 00:46:54,769
It's the food shortage, my lord. He
likely hasn't been able to eat is all.

708
00:46:54,770 --> 00:46:56,771
Please, he was just hungry!

709
00:46:56,772 --> 00:46:59,315
Whatever the
circumstance may be,

710
00:46:59,316 --> 00:47:02,986
he must atone for his transgression
by forfeiting his life this instant.

711
00:47:03,570 --> 00:47:04,403
Hm.

712
00:47:04,404 --> 00:47:06,739
What's he doing?

713
00:47:06,740 --> 00:47:08,991
Please put the gun
away, Your Grace.

714
00:47:08,992 --> 00:47:09,992
Hm?

715
00:47:10,786 --> 00:47:13,162
Stand down. Who are
you to interfere?

716
00:47:13,163 --> 00:47:14,163
Sir, please.

717
00:47:14,164 --> 00:47:16,165
- Hold your tongue.
- Go to hell!

718
00:47:18,001 --> 00:47:19,502
- Huh?
- Oh.

719
00:47:23,048 --> 00:47:24,799
I can't stand it anymore!

720
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:28,261
That you raised a gun at a child.
You're more monster than human!

721
00:47:30,097 --> 00:47:31,722
Okay.

722
00:47:33,559 --> 00:47:34,475
Please stop.

723
00:47:34,476 --> 00:47:35,518
What are you doing?

724
00:47:35,519 --> 00:47:37,311
You're siding
with a monster?!

725
00:47:37,312 --> 00:47:39,856
Stop it. That soldier
stepped in to save this boy.

726
00:47:39,857 --> 00:47:41,733
All nobles are the same.

727
00:47:42,276 --> 00:47:43,568
Well, we've had enough!

728
00:47:43,569 --> 00:47:46,864
Calm your anger! I beg
you to hear what I say.

729
00:47:51,493 --> 00:47:52,494
Come back!

730
00:47:55,205 --> 00:47:56,706
They're running away!

731
00:47:59,710 --> 00:48:00,710
Coward.

732
00:48:01,587 --> 00:48:03,880
Well, they got
away. But you won't!

733
00:48:03,881 --> 00:48:06,215
Please calm down!

734
00:48:06,216 --> 00:48:07,633
Heaven's sake.

735
00:48:17,019 --> 00:48:19,229
You nobles are all bastards!

736
00:48:19,897 --> 00:48:21,981
Don't you dare!

737
00:48:31,783 --> 00:48:32,909
No, André!

738
00:48:32,910 --> 00:48:34,952
Stay with me. André!

739
00:48:36,496 --> 00:48:37,747
Why should we care?

740
00:48:37,748 --> 00:48:39,206
Stop that!

741
00:48:44,922 --> 00:48:48,424
If you strike them down,
you'd be as disgraceful as that duke.

742
00:48:48,425 --> 00:48:51,344
- Who the hell are you?
- He works for the paper.

743
00:48:51,345 --> 00:48:52,971
We are the people.

744
00:48:53,472 --> 00:48:56,641
Bold, but not ruthless like
the nobles. Are we not?

745
00:48:56,642 --> 00:48:58,726
- That's right!
- Nothing like them!

746
00:49:04,232 --> 00:49:06,233
- He is right!
- Yeah! Be civil!

747
00:49:06,234 --> 00:49:07,903
Well, you should go.

748
00:49:09,279 --> 00:49:10,279
Thank you, sir.

749
00:49:10,822 --> 00:49:12,532
Oh.

750
00:49:16,453 --> 00:49:19,915
My name is Bernard Châtelet.
A newspaper reporter.

751
00:49:23,669 --> 00:49:25,337
André!

752
00:49:31,176 --> 00:49:32,301
It was severe.

753
00:49:32,302 --> 00:49:34,972
He will likely lose
sight in his left eye.

754
00:49:35,514 --> 00:49:36,807
No!

755
00:49:42,270 --> 00:49:43,480
Oh, André,

756
00:49:44,523 --> 00:49:45,524
I'm so sorry.

757
00:49:46,191 --> 00:49:47,693
You jumped in to save me.

758
00:49:55,158 --> 00:50:00,746
If it's for you, I wouldn't care what
it was I had to sacrifice, Oscar.

759
00:50:07,004 --> 00:50:09,256
Oh! Oh. Lady Oscar?

760
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:15,137
André...

761
00:50:16,096 --> 00:50:17,096
Oh God.

762
00:50:18,390 --> 00:50:20,350
This is my fault.

763
00:50:24,187 --> 00:50:25,856
How could I not have known.

764
00:50:26,940 --> 00:50:30,652
<i>The citizens rage, pushed
to their breaking point.</i>

765
00:50:32,279 --> 00:50:34,406
And now André could
lose his sight.

766
00:50:35,824 --> 00:50:36,824
I want to know,

767
00:50:38,744 --> 00:50:40,287
what can be done?

768
00:50:43,248 --> 00:50:45,042
How can I help the commoners?

769
00:50:49,963 --> 00:50:52,131
<i>Jean-Jacques Rousseau
is an enlightened writer,</i>

770
00:50:52,132 --> 00:50:54,926
<i>who says this in his
work</i> The Social Contract.

771
00:50:55,886 --> 00:50:58,430
<i>It begins with,
"Man is born free."</i>

772
00:50:59,056 --> 00:51:01,932
<i>"But he is everywhere
in chains."</i>

773
00:51:04,811 --> 00:51:07,354
What?
Resigning from the Royal Guards?

774
00:51:07,355 --> 00:51:10,608
It is quite sudden.
I apologize for that.

775
00:51:10,609 --> 00:51:13,820
Do you really... What do you
plan to do after you resign?

776
00:51:14,488 --> 00:51:15,821
At the earliest convenience,

777
00:51:15,822 --> 00:51:18,742
I would like to be transferred
to the French Guards.

778
00:51:19,826 --> 00:51:21,453
Why would you ever go there?

779
00:51:22,329 --> 00:51:26,916
In the Royal Guards, only the
noble elites can be soldiers.

780
00:51:26,917 --> 00:51:30,253
Whereas the French Guards
are less discerning.

781
00:51:30,837 --> 00:51:31,837
I am aware.

782
00:51:32,422 --> 00:51:33,798
- Then why?
- Shoulder arms!

783
00:51:33,799 --> 00:51:36,008
In an effort to
protect this country.

784
00:51:36,009 --> 00:51:37,636
Protect the country?

785
00:51:38,220 --> 00:51:42,473
If commoners, who make up over 80%
of this country, can't live in peace,

786
00:51:42,474 --> 00:51:44,226
then the country has no future.

787
00:51:44,851 --> 00:51:48,312
To protect this country, we
must protect the commoners.

788
00:51:48,313 --> 00:51:51,816
Through that, we would essentially
be protecting the royal family.

789
00:51:51,817 --> 00:51:53,360
That was my line of thinking.

790
00:51:55,362 --> 00:51:56,780
My decision is firm.

791
00:51:57,739 --> 00:51:59,157
I will not dissuade you.

792
00:52:01,743 --> 00:52:04,537
Your eyes, they always
look straight ahead,

793
00:52:04,538 --> 00:52:07,373
following the path you
believe is right and just.

794
00:52:07,374 --> 00:52:08,374
Uh...

795
00:52:17,676 --> 00:52:20,095
André? Where is that boy?

796
00:52:21,388 --> 00:52:23,639
You will join the French
Guards with Oscar.

797
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:26,976
Special enlistment should get you in.

798
00:52:26,977 --> 00:52:31,021
Look out for my overconfident idiot
until she faces reality the hard way.

799
00:52:31,022 --> 00:52:32,398
She'll run back soon.

800
00:52:33,817 --> 00:52:35,776
Sir. As you wish.

801
00:52:42,701 --> 00:52:45,744
Are you certain that
your eye's all right?

802
00:52:45,745 --> 00:52:49,749
It is. With time, I've gotten used to
seeing the world with only one eye.

803
00:52:51,209 --> 00:52:52,460
Is that so?

804
00:52:56,590 --> 00:53:00,092
You know, I've a penchant for
putting you through a lot of trouble

805
00:53:00,093 --> 00:53:01,927
while doing whatever I want.

806
00:53:01,928 --> 00:53:05,015
I'll stay by
your side no matter what,

807
00:53:05,557 --> 00:53:07,559
even if it takes us
to the French Guards.

808
00:53:13,648 --> 00:53:14,648
Commander.

809
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:17,776
Ready. Everyone is
at the parade ground.

810
00:53:19,029 --> 00:53:20,280
Shall we?

811
00:53:22,824 --> 00:53:25,660
Colonel d'Agoult? Why
are these grounds empty?

812
00:53:26,244 --> 00:53:29,580
The soldiers were perfectly
formed up a few minutes ago, Commander.

813
00:53:33,376 --> 00:53:37,379
Trying to make us take orders from
a noblewoman? That's hilarious!

814
00:53:37,380 --> 00:53:39,840
I bet she's
off crying her eyes out.

815
00:53:39,841 --> 00:53:44,345
If that's enough to make
her leave, then all the better.

816
00:53:45,805 --> 00:53:47,807
Anyone care to explain?

817
00:53:50,769 --> 00:53:55,522
Sure! We refuse to obey any orders
that come from a woman, girl.

818
00:53:55,523 --> 00:53:57,191
While we both guard the court,

819
00:53:57,192 --> 00:53:59,860
the French Guards aren't just
pretty ornaments like you lot.

820
00:53:59,861 --> 00:54:02,279
- Hear, hear!
- Pretty ornaments, you say?

821
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:03,990
That's exactly right.

822
00:54:04,658 --> 00:54:07,243
A woman commander won't
even know what she's doing!!

823
00:54:07,244 --> 00:54:09,161
Where's your husband?

824
00:54:09,162 --> 00:54:13,290
What an honor. Being treated as a woman
out of the gate is quite refreshing.

825
00:54:13,291 --> 00:54:14,375
What was that?

826
00:54:14,376 --> 00:54:17,711
Here, you complain of me being
a woman, but can you fight?

827
00:54:17,712 --> 00:54:20,715
Could a single one of you
here outclass me in combat?

828
00:54:21,216 --> 00:54:22,800
How dare you?!

829
00:54:22,801 --> 00:54:26,011
You will face Alain, and I will
beat those haughty words out of you!

830
00:54:26,012 --> 00:54:28,138
I do hope you'll try.

831
00:54:28,139 --> 00:54:31,725
And if I should win this contest,
you'll all attend training.

832
00:54:34,354 --> 00:54:37,190
Colonel d'Agoult,
even if he beats me,

833
00:54:37,732 --> 00:54:39,693
you are not to
punish the soldiers.

Good fight.

847
00:55:34,497 --> 00:55:36,833
Never fought a swordsman
like you before.

848
00:55:48,803 --> 00:55:51,890
Commander, we really should
punish them for this.

849
00:55:52,432 --> 00:55:53,474
There's no need.

850
00:55:59,689 --> 00:56:01,815
- Be careful.
- Follow me!

851
00:56:01,816 --> 00:56:05,110
Hurry, Father, Mother.
You both walk so slow!

852
00:56:05,111 --> 00:56:07,696
The Petit Trianon's
pond has ducks in it.

853
00:56:07,697 --> 00:56:09,573
I was the one who
found them there!

854
00:56:11,326 --> 00:56:14,953
It is hard to believe how
quickly our children have grown.

855
00:56:14,954 --> 00:56:18,707
It does feel as though time is
in a hurry to pass by lately.

856
00:56:18,708 --> 00:56:19,708
Oh!

857
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:23,462
My apologies, but
could you go on ahead?

858
00:56:23,463 --> 00:56:27,175
I had received a letter earlier
that I still have yet to read.

859
00:56:39,312 --> 00:56:41,898
Darling? The children
are waiting for you.

860
00:56:43,233 --> 00:56:45,402
Your Majesty?

861
00:56:45,902 --> 00:56:46,902
Did something happen?

862
00:56:57,914 --> 00:56:58,998
<i>Your Majesty,</i>

863
00:56:59,624 --> 00:57:01,750
<i>for over a decade,
the Queen of France</i>

864
00:57:01,751 --> 00:57:05,004
<i>has been in a romantic
relationship with Count von Fersen.</i>

865
00:57:05,630 --> 00:57:08,925
<i>They regularly meet in secret,
and maintain a relationship.</i>

866
00:57:09,467 --> 00:57:10,634
<i>Believe what you will,</i>

867
00:57:10,635 --> 00:57:13,763
<i>but Prince Louis-Charles is
the son of Count von Fersen.</i>

868
00:57:16,516 --> 00:57:17,349
Oh...

869
00:57:19,811 --> 00:57:20,812
Your Majesty...

870
00:57:24,065 --> 00:57:25,108
Your Majesty,

871
00:57:26,151 --> 00:57:29,278
forgive me for this, but I
am in love with von Fersen.

872
00:57:30,196 --> 00:57:32,239
Please believe me
when I say this.

873
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:35,117
Fersen and I have never been
intimate as the letter suggests.

874
00:57:35,118 --> 00:57:36,744
Never! Not a single time!

875
00:57:38,538 --> 00:57:42,375
And I assure you that Louis-Charles
is your own son, Your Majesty.

876
00:57:44,210 --> 00:57:45,210
Hm.

877
00:57:48,047 --> 00:57:49,924
The very first time
that I met you,

878
00:57:51,009 --> 00:57:53,719
<i>there was a charm about you
that shone like the sun,</i>

879
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:56,889
<i>as if the goddess of love
had bathed you in her light.</i>

880
00:57:56,890 --> 00:58:00,142
<i>Words could never express
how dazzling you were to me.</i>

881
00:58:03,521 --> 00:58:06,232
<i>There was always
a beaming smile on your face.</i>

882
00:58:06,733 --> 00:58:10,277
<i>You were lively, cheerful,
and had a kind playfulness.</i>

883
00:58:19,996 --> 00:58:22,081
I, on the other hand,
could not compare.

884
00:58:22,582 --> 00:58:24,333
I am not handsome or fit.

885
00:58:24,334 --> 00:58:25,876
I cannot dance.

886
00:58:25,877 --> 00:58:29,005
My conversational skills
are bland at their best.

887
00:58:29,589 --> 00:58:30,757
My King...

888
00:58:31,549 --> 00:58:33,760
Despite what
I lack, you married me.

889
00:58:34,260 --> 00:58:38,306
You were kind. You gave birth
to a princess and two princes.

890
00:58:39,140 --> 00:58:42,560
How could I ever chastise you
for seeking your own happiness?

891
00:58:44,437 --> 00:58:46,648
How could I possibly
blame you for that?

892
00:58:54,113 --> 00:58:56,281
Would I be able to
say those three words

893
00:58:56,282 --> 00:58:58,826
if I were thinner, or
better looking for her?

894
00:59:00,036 --> 00:59:02,163
Could I have said "I love you"?

895
00:59:04,123 --> 00:59:07,960
{\an8}<i>The economic situation
in France worsened each year,</i>

896
00:59:07,961 --> 00:59:10,879
{\an8}<i>putting the royal family
on the brink of bankruptcy.</i>

897
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:17,302
<i>Those in the provinces faced dire
straits, and descended on Paris.</i>

898
00:59:17,303 --> 00:59:20,472
<i>The once prospering
city was now dangerous.</i>

899
00:59:20,473 --> 00:59:23,935
<i>Riots erupted. Looting out of
desperation became rampant.</i>

900
00:59:33,903 --> 00:59:36,488
It's not often that
Father has guests.

901
00:59:36,489 --> 00:59:38,574
Lady Oscar, you're home!

902
00:59:38,575 --> 00:59:41,285
Lord Jarjayes, he said he was...

903
00:59:41,286 --> 00:59:43,870
After all this time, a
marriage arrangement.

904
00:59:43,871 --> 00:59:44,871
Huh?

905
00:59:45,790 --> 00:59:46,790
Marriage?

906
00:59:47,333 --> 00:59:48,334
Uh...

907
00:59:49,502 --> 00:59:50,712
That cannot be.

908
00:59:51,254 --> 00:59:53,213
My father would never
say such a thing.

909
00:59:53,214 --> 00:59:56,633
Oh, I wish it weren't
true, but he's quite serious.

910
00:59:56,634 --> 00:59:59,220
The man who would be
your husband is upstairs.

911
01:00:06,686 --> 01:00:07,854
Huh?

912
01:00:10,315 --> 01:00:12,942
Captain. It has
been far too long.

913
01:00:13,776 --> 01:00:14,861
Girodelle?

914
01:00:15,445 --> 01:00:17,613
Your father gave me
permission to visit you,

915
01:00:17,614 --> 01:00:20,490
seeing that I am a suitor
who seeks a beautiful bride.

916
01:00:20,491 --> 01:00:22,159
Uh... Father!

917
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:25,120
I want the two of you to
ensure our succession.

918
01:00:25,121 --> 01:00:27,539
Give birth to a boy
with strength and wit.

919
01:00:27,540 --> 01:00:30,126
Having an heir would
give me peace of mind.

920
01:00:31,461 --> 01:00:33,671
Father, have you lost your mind?

921
01:00:34,339 --> 01:00:36,174
Mademoiselle Oscar.

922
01:00:38,217 --> 01:00:42,221
From the moment I first saw you
in the Royal Guards, I knew.

923
01:00:43,389 --> 01:00:46,433
So many years pass,
yet I still adore you.

924
01:00:50,438 --> 01:00:54,107
Back then, and every
day since then,

925
01:00:54,108 --> 01:00:57,945
I have only ever seen you as the
beautiful and incredible woman you are.

926
01:00:58,571 --> 01:00:59,739
You see me as a

927
01:01:00,281 --> 01:01:01,616
beautiful woman?

928
01:01:02,116 --> 01:01:03,409
Mademoiselle,

929
01:01:04,202 --> 01:01:07,830
even in a military uniform,
your beauty is only magnified.

930
01:01:09,707 --> 01:01:12,543
But you should not face
such heavy burdens.

931
01:01:13,711 --> 01:01:17,130
Why, do you not want the
warmth of home and hearth?

932
01:01:17,131 --> 01:01:18,716
A family of your own?

933
01:01:21,010 --> 01:01:22,679
What nonsense!

934
01:01:24,097 --> 01:01:26,057
I will reject any
marriage offer!

935
01:01:28,267 --> 01:01:29,352
She rejects?

936
01:01:39,862 --> 01:01:42,657
How could I start living as
a woman after all this time?

937
01:01:45,118 --> 01:01:46,118
Why?

938
01:01:46,744 --> 01:01:49,664
{\an8}What would've been the point
of living as I have until now?

Being near you was
all I ever wanted.

970

To always stand by your
side, closer than anyone.

971

Never saying how I felt
was something I could bear.

972

A burden I would have

973
01:03:45,404 --> 01:03:46,404
I wanted...

974
01:03:46,823 --> 01:03:48,574
I only wanted to stay near you.

Is my sight...

977
01:04:21,274 --> 01:04:22,984
<i>Julie; or The New Heloise.</i>

978
01:04:24,527 --> 01:04:28,531
The love story between a young noblewoman
and a young man born a commoner.

979
01:04:29,448 --> 01:04:30,949
Their marriage wasn't allowed.

980

I have no idea how
to explain my tears.

984
01:04:58,519 --> 01:05:01,731
They started a while ago, and I have
no clue how to get them to stop.

<i>Julie; or
The New Heloise.</i>

986
01:05:06,235 --> 01:05:10,114
When last I read this, I have
to say, I wasn't fond of it.

987
01:05:10,615 --> 01:05:13,116
Why do
I feel different?

988
01:05:13,117 --> 01:05:14,327
It's strange.

989
01:05:15,244 --> 01:05:16,746
Have you brought me some wine?

990
01:05:19,707 --> 01:05:22,043
Did you already say
your prayers for tonight?

991
01:05:22,543 --> 01:05:23,543
Yes.

992
01:05:24,378 --> 01:05:25,588

993
01:05:26,088 --> 01:05:28,966
all thought this evening returns
to our old days together.

994
01:05:30,301 --> 01:05:31,636
Old days together?

995
01:05:33,304 --> 01:05:35,765
It started with the day
that Grandma adopted you.

01:05:36,641 --> 01:05:39,726
<i>It was the first time you

01:08:08,084 --> 01:08:11,294
Selling off your guns is a
crime against our country!

1033
01:08:11,295 --> 01:08:13,838
You will be sentenced
to immediate punishment.

1034
01:08:13,839 --> 01:08:16,133
General
Bouillé! Please wait.

1035
01:08:16,884 --> 01:08:19,303
What is the meaning
of this, Brigadier General?

1036
01:08:20,971 --> 01:08:23,098
Do we know with certainty
that it was them?

1037
01:08:23,099 --> 01:08:25,058
I would find that
hard to believe.

1038
01:08:25,059 --> 01:08:28,771
Hm. You never fail to show
how naive you are, Commander.

1039
01:08:29,814 --> 01:08:32,023
He's right. We sold
our guns in the city.

1040
01:08:32,024 --> 01:08:33,024
Huh?

1041
01:08:33,025 --> 01:08:36,069
What's more, none of us
feel a shred of regret.

1042
01:08:36,070 --> 01:08:38,196
I have no regrets for
it, and never will!

1043
01:08:38,197 --> 01:08:41,658
Why would I ever feel guilty,
selling off those guns?

1044
01:08:41,659 --> 01:08:44,035
My mother ate warm soup
and bread for a week!

1045
01:08:44,036 --> 01:08:47,163
I could help my father
afford medical treatment!

1046
01:08:47,164 --> 01:08:50,583
For the first time in his life,
my little brother has shoes!

1047
01:08:50,584 --> 01:08:53,545
He won't have to cut his
feet on shards of glass now.

1048
01:08:53,546 --> 01:08:55,380
So go on, throw me in jail!

1049
01:08:55,381 --> 01:08:58,550
- I agree. Do what you will!
- Punish us however you want!

1050
01:09:01,220 --> 01:09:02,220
<i>Oh God...</i>

1051
01:09:03,013 --> 01:09:04,055
<i>What is this?</i>

1052
01:09:04,974 --> 01:09:08,101
<i>How did I not know
that their families were...</i>

1053
01:09:09,562 --> 01:09:12,021
They even started
making excuses.

1054
01:09:12,022 --> 01:09:13,898
Their actions are unforgivable.

1055
01:09:13,899 --> 01:09:15,025
General Bouillé!

1056
01:09:15,734 --> 01:09:19,946
I swear to give my soldiers a thorough
reprimand and address this situation.

1057
01:09:19,947 --> 01:09:21,865
So, please, General.

1058
01:09:21,866 --> 01:09:24,617
You... You
stay out of this, woman!

1059
01:09:24,618 --> 01:09:26,703
How could a
noble understand how we feel?

1060
01:09:26,704 --> 01:09:29,373
Go ahead, General.
Punish us and get it over with!

1061
01:09:29,999 --> 01:09:33,626
And you, Commander? Are you
not our leader? No discipline?

1062
01:09:34,879 --> 01:09:36,254
That is enough!

1063
01:09:36,255 --> 01:09:39,258
The lot of you will be sent to
the brig and detained for a week.

1064
01:09:39,842 --> 01:09:42,219
General, please! Wait!

1065
01:09:42,970 --> 01:09:44,096
General!

1066
01:09:47,516 --> 01:09:50,435
Is the brig
the worst of it?

1067
01:09:50,436 --> 01:09:51,978
Locked up for a holiday!

1068
01:10:02,781 --> 01:10:06,410
Why do you
choose not to think?

1069
01:10:07,578 --> 01:10:10,496
Sentencing any of you
with a punishment is easy.

1070
01:10:10,497 --> 01:10:13,124
I have the authority
to do whatever I want.

1071
01:10:13,125 --> 01:10:16,419
So why? Why choose
not to suppress you?

1072
01:10:16,420 --> 01:10:19,714
Do you think using a whip
would truly make you hear me?

1073
01:10:19,715 --> 01:10:23,219
All of you, your hearts
have the freedom of choice.

1074
01:10:24,011 --> 01:10:26,638
Background has no
bearing on who you are.

1075
01:10:26,639 --> 01:10:29,015
You are human
first and foremost.

1076
01:10:29,016 --> 01:10:31,727
The freedom of your
heart is not property.

1077
01:10:32,311 --> 01:10:33,354
So think!

1078
01:10:34,146 --> 01:10:35,396
Why refrain?

1079
01:10:35,397 --> 01:10:38,400
Why not use my authority
to crush you at every turn?

1080
01:10:39,026 --> 01:10:40,819
Why have I never punished you?

1081
01:10:43,322 --> 01:10:46,574
Why do you make my
every effort be in vain?

1082
01:10:54,124 --> 01:10:55,876
I apologize for striking you.

1083
01:10:56,919 --> 01:11:01,881
Also, as the officer in charge,
I apologize for my negligence.

1084
01:11:01,882 --> 01:11:04,510
I should have known about
your families' situations.

1085
01:11:06,303 --> 01:11:09,932
You were correct. I do not need
or have the right to be here.

1086
01:11:10,474 --> 01:11:13,309
Effective immediately,
I will resign.

1087
01:11:14,478 --> 01:11:16,897
I appoint Colonel
d'Agoult for the interim.

1088
01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:20,316
He will take charge until
he finds a suitable leader.

1089
01:11:20,317 --> 01:11:21,568
Brigadier General!

1090
01:11:22,236 --> 01:11:23,737
André. My horse.

1091
01:11:24,446 --> 01:11:25,446
Oscar...

1092
01:11:26,323 --> 01:11:29,492
Now then, please follow
Colonel d'Agoult's orders.

1093
01:11:34,915 --> 01:11:36,792
- Commander!
- Hm?

1094
01:11:39,628 --> 01:11:41,504
Commander, please don't go!

1095
01:11:41,505 --> 01:11:43,715
We'll choose the brig
and walk there ourselves.

1096
01:11:43,716 --> 01:11:46,634
Yes, Commander! We'll
go of our own free will.

1097
01:11:46,635 --> 01:11:49,554
You won't have to use
force to make us go either!

1098
01:11:49,555 --> 01:11:52,807
- It'll be our choice!
- By our own free will!

1099
01:11:52,808 --> 01:11:54,267
Please!

1100
01:11:54,268 --> 01:11:56,186
You would... Everyone?

1101
01:12:01,900 --> 01:12:02,943
I don't know...

1102
01:12:03,777 --> 01:12:05,362
I... Everyone...

1103
01:12:19,293 --> 01:12:20,293
<i>Oscar.</i>

1104
01:12:27,009 --> 01:12:28,509
<i>You won their hearts.</i>

1105
01:12:28,510 --> 01:12:31,013
<i>To think that I almost
took this from you.</i>

1106
01:12:31,722 --> 01:12:33,515
<i>What a moment of triumph.</i>

1107
01:12:39,229 --> 01:12:41,065
André. Some wine.

1108
01:12:48,530 --> 01:12:49,530
Thank you.

1109
01:12:51,825 --> 01:12:52,825
Oscar.

1110
01:12:53,619 --> 01:12:55,162
I... Last night...

1111
01:12:55,662 --> 01:12:58,164
Since childhood, you
have always been there,

1112
01:12:58,165 --> 01:13:00,292
by my side, and
closer than anyone.

1113
01:13:00,959 --> 01:13:02,752
Do you remember what I said?

1114
01:13:02,753 --> 01:13:04,254
I... do.

1115
01:13:05,214 --> 01:13:06,840
Nothing will change.

1116
01:13:07,341 --> 01:13:08,341
André,

1117
01:13:08,926 --> 01:13:12,388
what I want is for you
to always be by my side.

1118
01:13:13,013 --> 01:13:15,264
Not just for now. For all time.

1119
01:13:29,988 --> 01:13:32,157
What is it
that you wished to tell me?

1120
01:13:33,075 --> 01:13:35,452
There is a man I have
known for some time.

1121
01:13:36,286 --> 01:13:38,288
I think, or presume,

1122
01:13:38,914 --> 01:13:43,001
that if I were to marry another man
while he yet lives, it may end him.

1123
01:13:44,044 --> 01:13:46,422
That is how deep the
love he has for me runs.

1124
01:13:47,339 --> 01:13:48,339
And I...

1125
01:13:48,841 --> 01:13:51,218
If he were unable to live
on because of that...

1126
01:13:52,636 --> 01:13:55,514
If it were to make him unhappy,

1127
01:13:56,807 --> 01:13:58,099
then I am certain

1128
01:13:58,100 --> 01:14:01,018
the weight of his despair would
cause me endless suffering.

1129
01:14:04,690 --> 01:14:06,358
Is it
André Grandier?

1130
01:14:07,067 --> 01:14:10,571
Should I infer that you refuse
to marry anyone for his sake?

1131
01:14:12,406 --> 01:14:13,574
Mm.

1132
01:14:15,033 --> 01:14:17,201
André. Do you love him?

1133
01:14:26,044 --> 01:14:27,087
I do not know.

1134
01:14:28,255 --> 01:14:31,383
My thoughts of him had never
strayed into that light before.

1135
01:14:32,593 --> 01:14:33,927
We were like siblings.

1136
01:14:35,012 --> 01:14:37,681
Well, no. A sibling
isn't quite right.

1137
01:14:38,557 --> 01:14:40,766
We shared our joys and pains.

1138
01:14:40,767 --> 01:14:43,228
Experienced many things
throughout our youth.

1139
01:14:43,896 --> 01:14:46,231
We were confidants
for each other's soul.

1140
01:14:46,982 --> 01:14:50,652
So we never noticed the strong
bond that we had formed.

1141
01:14:56,533 --> 01:15:00,412
If he were to face unhappiness,
then you would share that pain.

1142
01:15:02,539 --> 01:15:04,833
- That was all I needed to know.
- Hm?

1143
01:15:06,043 --> 01:15:07,127
If you despaired,

1144
01:15:07,711 --> 01:15:09,670
then I would share
in what you felt.

1145
01:15:09,671 --> 01:15:12,799
Your unhappiness would make me
the most miserable man alive.

1146
01:15:13,467 --> 01:15:14,801
You, Girodelle?

1147
01:15:16,512 --> 01:15:18,346
Then please accept this.

1148
01:15:18,347 --> 01:15:22,017
It is a gift. The first
and final proof of my love.

1149
01:15:22,935 --> 01:15:25,102
My proposal is withdrawn.

1150
01:15:34,488 --> 01:15:36,490
I thank you, Girodelle.

1151
01:15:41,912 --> 01:15:42,912
Hm?

1152
01:15:44,540 --> 01:15:45,540
What is it?

1153
01:15:46,959 --> 01:15:49,210
Father, I am grateful to you.

1154
01:15:49,211 --> 01:15:50,211
Huh?

1155
01:15:51,213 --> 01:15:53,715
{\an8}The life I have been able
to live is thanks to you.

1156
01:15:54,466 --> 01:15:57,970
{\an8}I was born a woman, yet my
gender never restricted me.

1157
01:15:58,637 --> 01:16:01,764
{\an8}I was human, struggling
with human issues.

1158
01:16:01,765 --> 01:16:03,015
Oscar...

1159
01:16:03,016 --> 01:16:05,142
I no longer have any regrets.

1160
01:16:05,143 --> 01:16:06,270
My life?

1161
01:16:06,937 --> 01:16:09,355
I will choose how to
live the rest of it.

1162
01:16:09,356 --> 01:16:11,148
My heart will guide my path.

1163
01:16:11,149 --> 01:16:14,152
A sword in one hand,
a gun in the other.

1164
01:16:16,029 --> 01:16:18,698
I'll live as a child of
Mars, the god of war!

<i>The economy in France
was on the verge of collapse.</i>

1185
01:17:45,869 --> 01:17:50,039
<i>In an effort to recover, the government
tried yet again to raise taxes.</i>

1186
01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:52,833
<i>Naturally, this triggered
fierce backlash.</i>

1187
01:17:52,834 --> 01:17:56,671
<i>Louis XVI was forced to
summon the General Estates,</i>

1188
01:17:56,672 --> 01:18:00,758
<i>a general assembly that consisted of
delegates from three social classes.</i>

1189
01:18:00,759 --> 01:18:03,303
<i>The clergy, nobility,
and commoners.</i>

1190
01:18:03,845 --> 01:18:08,265
<i>The delegates for the commoners faced
difficulties in attending the assembly,</i>

1191
01:18:08,266 --> 01:18:10,768
<i>but kept unflinching
determination.</i>

1192
01:18:10,769 --> 01:18:12,061
It's time!

1193
01:18:12,062 --> 01:18:14,271
Each one of us here
shall take a vow.

1194
01:18:14,272 --> 01:18:19,276
United. Our actions must be as one.
That will lead us all to victory!

1195
01:18:24,157 --> 01:18:25,742
<i>What boundless passion.</i>

1196
01:18:26,535 --> 01:18:28,953
<i>It ignites my soul as well.</i>

1197
01:18:28,954 --> 01:18:32,040
<i>They can see it. The
future they all believe in.</i>

1198
01:18:32,999 --> 01:18:36,294
<i>They chose it. Each heart
following their own path.</i>

1199
01:18:39,381 --> 01:18:42,591
Oscar, you will return
to the Royal Guards.

1200
01:18:42,592 --> 01:18:44,553
Staying in the French
Guards is unsafe.

1201
01:18:45,303 --> 01:18:46,930
May I ask what you mean?

1202
01:18:47,806 --> 01:18:50,433
Troops of His Majesty
the King assemble.

1203
01:18:50,434 --> 01:18:53,894
They will gather from all over
France and then head for Paris.

1204
01:18:55,522 --> 01:18:57,314
They have been gathered
to handle the commoners

1205
01:18:57,315 --> 01:19:00,944
incited into vulgar behavior
by those commoner delegates.

1206
01:19:01,445 --> 01:19:04,071
With all due respect,
our troops should be used

1207
01:19:04,072 --> 01:19:06,365
to keep the people of
France safe from harm.

1208
01:19:06,366 --> 01:19:09,619
They should never live in fear that their
protectors would point guns at them.

1209
01:19:10,245 --> 01:19:11,245
Oscar...

1210
01:19:11,747 --> 01:19:14,832
Your Majesty, the way you
spoke of the commoner delegates

1211
01:19:14,833 --> 01:19:16,293
paints them as villains.

1212
01:19:17,085 --> 01:19:19,712
However, I do not agree,

1213
01:19:19,713 --> 01:19:21,256
and I will not vilify them.

1214
01:19:23,175 --> 01:19:26,635
I see that
you feel pity for them.

1215
01:19:26,636 --> 01:19:28,137
No. I merely...

1216
01:19:28,138 --> 01:19:29,847
It is the right of the king.

1217
01:19:29,848 --> 01:19:31,558
And that authority is from God.

1218
01:19:32,267 --> 01:19:35,227
There is one person in all of
France who can lead this country.

1219
01:19:35,228 --> 01:19:36,646
His Majesty the King.

1220
01:19:38,064 --> 01:19:42,485
If the commoners were to lead the way,
then this country would not survive.

1221
01:19:42,486 --> 01:19:46,490
<i>What unwavering confidence
she has. Such great pride.</i>

1222
01:19:47,365 --> 01:19:49,909
<i>Her Majesty is truly
queen by nature.</i>

1223
01:19:49,910 --> 01:19:51,994
<i>She knows of no
other way to live.</i>

1224
01:19:54,331 --> 01:19:57,250
Oscar, return to
the Royal Guards.

1225
01:19:58,293 --> 01:20:01,295
Your Majesty, I am the
Commander of the French Guards.

1226
01:20:15,477 --> 01:20:16,603
<i>So this is it.</i>

1227
01:20:17,979 --> 01:20:20,357

- We could never agree to that!
- How could you ask that?

1257
01:22:17,390 --> 01:22:22,604
If we go into the city, it means
pointing our guns at the people we serve!

1258
01:22:23,104 --> 01:22:25,814
No one has said
where we must point our guns.

1259
01:22:25,815 --> 01:22:28,692
The orders are to go there.
We were not told to attack.

1260
01:22:28,693 --> 01:22:32,322
- You know they're the same!
- Is... Is it your noble blood saying this?

1261
01:22:33,156 --> 01:22:34,741
My blood as a guiding light?

1262
01:22:35,533 --> 01:22:37,410
You think I'm devoid
of any feeling?

1263
01:22:39,579 --> 01:22:43,374
Do I have any soldiers who will
follow me without questioning intent?

1264
01:22:43,375 --> 01:22:47,211
You will not march there alone.
I'll lead you there myself!

1265
01:22:47,212 --> 01:22:49,756
- The commander's going?
- She's coming with us?

1266
01:22:50,882 --> 01:22:54,677
You mean you would be going to the
front lines with the rest of us?

1267
01:22:54,678 --> 01:22:55,887
Of course I would.

1268
01:22:57,263 --> 01:22:59,849
Hm. No more questions, then.

1269
01:23:01,226 --> 01:23:03,106
- If you lead, we'll follow.
- Yeah.

1270
01:23:03,770 --> 01:23:05,980
- Hear, hear!
- Lead us, Commander!

1271
01:23:05,981 --> 01:23:09,316
- We'll face whatever comes.
- We trust you, Commander!

1272
01:23:09,317 --> 01:23:10,735
Yes, Commander!

1273
01:23:12,195 --> 01:23:13,571
- André.
- Hm?

1274
01:23:14,823 --> 01:23:16,907
You should stay here.

1275
01:23:16,908 --> 01:23:19,911
Your vision is limited.
Paris is dangerous.

1276
01:23:20,787 --> 01:23:21,829
Uh...

1277
01:23:21,830 --> 01:23:24,999
We stay together. Not just
for now, but for all time.

1278
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:26,208
Those were your words.

1279
01:23:26,209 --> 01:23:28,878
Oscar, I live as your shadow.

1280
01:23:29,421 --> 01:23:31,047
Without you, I cannot exist.

1281
01:23:31,715 --> 01:23:32,715
So take me.

1282
01:23:33,133 --> 01:23:34,718
We'll go through hell together.

1283
01:23:35,218 --> 01:23:36,218
André.

1284
01:23:38,138 --> 01:23:39,138
Yes.

1285
01:23:40,432 --> 01:23:43,476
A request? If you would
allow me to be selfish.

1286
01:23:44,185 --> 01:23:46,312
Be sure that you
never leave my side.

1287
01:23:46,980 --> 01:23:48,481
Then I know I can be strong.

1288
01:23:49,149 --> 01:23:52,277
Yes. I swear never
to leave your side.

1289
01:24:05,707 --> 01:24:06,707
You're so warm.

1290
01:24:07,167 --> 01:24:08,418
It's comforting to me.

1291
01:24:26,102 --> 01:24:27,812
It's weak.

1292
01:24:28,354 --> 01:24:30,522
I can't let them
stop me from going.

1293
01:24:30,523 --> 01:24:31,900
They can't know.

1294
01:24:32,650 --> 01:24:33,651
No one can.

1295
01:24:39,365 --> 01:24:41,325
- Oscar.
- Yes?

1296
01:24:41,326 --> 01:24:43,536
There was a reason I had
hoped you would marry.

1297
01:24:44,329 --> 01:24:45,746
It was my effort to protect you

1298
01:24:45,747 --> 01:24:48,291
by keeping you from
this political tempest.

1299
01:24:48,875 --> 01:24:51,419
Now, though, I support you.

1300
01:24:51,961 --> 01:24:56,549
Whatever path it is that you now choose,
wherever it is your passion takes you.

1301
01:24:57,133 --> 01:24:59,301
Regardless of my
choices from here,

1302
01:24:59,302 --> 01:25:02,387
you should know the person
that you raised me to become

1303
01:25:02,388 --> 01:25:03,806
is not dishonorable.

1304
01:25:03,807 --> 01:25:04,974
I pray you know that.

1305
01:25:07,519 --> 01:25:08,519
But,

1306
01:25:09,395 --> 01:25:11,481
Oscar, you must promise.

1307
01:25:12,524 --> 01:25:13,524
Come home.

1308
01:25:14,025 --> 01:25:16,236
Please be sure that
you return here safely.

1309
01:25:17,695 --> 01:25:18,695
Mother...

1310
01:25:25,245 --> 01:25:27,497
Oscar. I brought you wine.

1311
01:25:32,460 --> 01:25:33,461
I'll leave it here.

1312
01:25:34,546 --> 01:25:35,713
André.

1313
01:25:36,339 --> 01:25:37,339
Hm?

1314
01:25:39,342 --> 01:25:40,342
I wondered

1315
01:25:41,261 --> 01:25:42,303
if you would stay

1316
01:25:43,471 --> 01:25:44,471
with me.

1317
01:25:45,515 --> 01:25:46,515
Huh?

1318
01:25:47,934 --> 01:25:49,018
The two of us,

1319
01:25:49,853 --> 01:25:50,853
tonight,

1320
01:25:51,938 --> 01:25:53,022
where I could be

1321
01:25:53,690 --> 01:25:54,523
your wife.

1322
01:26:08,872 --> 01:26:09,998
You're saying

1323
01:26:10,915 --> 01:26:11,958
you want this?

1324
01:26:13,751 --> 01:26:14,836
Give me your love,

1325
01:26:15,461 --> 01:26:17,380
and me give you mine?

1326
01:26:18,423 --> 01:26:19,674
Despite how I am?

1327
01:26:25,638 --> 01:26:27,682
Oscar...

1328
01:26:34,564 --> 01:26:35,564

1329
01:26:38,651 --> 01:26:40,153
Oh!

1330
01:26:40,695 --> 01:26:42,780
Please. I waited.

1331
01:26:44,199 --> 01:26:45,491
We waited in agony.

1332
01:26:45,992 --> 01:26:47,743

1374
01:29:13,973 --> 01:29:17,476
<i>Where starving crowds threw a stone
at the Royal Allemand regiment,</i>

1375
01:29:17,477 --> 01:29:19,144
<i>starting a skirmish.</i>

1376
01:29:28,738 --> 01:29:29,696
Soldiers!

1377
01:29:29,697 --> 01:29:32,199
Troops have opened
fire on civilians.

1378
01:29:33,618 --> 01:29:36,454
There was a time
when I told you all

1379
01:29:37,121 --> 01:29:38,790
each of your hearts are free.

1380
01:29:39,832 --> 01:29:41,208
No matter who you are,

1381
01:29:41,209 --> 01:29:43,753
we all have the freedom
to follow our hearts.

1382
01:29:44,253 --> 01:29:46,381
No one can force you
to live by their law.

1383
01:29:47,298 --> 01:29:50,425
Now, allow me to
correct a mistake,

1384
01:29:50,426 --> 01:29:52,053
for I misspoke that day.

1385
01:29:53,846 --> 01:29:56,516
Your hearts are free,
but that is not all.

1386
01:29:58,309 --> 01:30:02,188
Each strand of hair and
fingertip, it is every part of us.

1387
01:30:02,688 --> 01:30:04,941
All of humanity
should be equals.

1388
01:30:05,608 --> 01:30:07,318
Equal, and free under God.

1389
01:30:09,779 --> 01:30:12,072
Our people of
France are rallying.

1390
01:30:12,073 --> 01:30:14,491
They are rising for their
brothers and sisters

1391
01:30:14,492 --> 01:30:17,286
under the flag of liberty,
equality, and fraternity.

1392
01:30:21,040 --> 01:30:25,043
From this moment forward, I
renounce the title of comtesse,

1393
01:30:25,044 --> 01:30:28,381
along with all of the land and
privileges it ever gave to me.

1394
01:30:29,674 --> 01:30:31,675
Now it is time to choose!

1395
01:30:31,676 --> 01:30:32,634
Are you free?

1396
01:30:32,635 --> 01:30:35,554
Or an instrument of the nobility
with a bayonet to point?

1397
01:30:35,555 --> 01:30:38,223
Will you stand free with
your fellow Parisians?

1398
01:30:38,224 --> 01:30:42,145
Will you fight in this glorious battle
for the country you know and love?

1399
01:30:43,187 --> 01:30:44,896
You! We're with you!

1400
01:30:44,897 --> 01:30:47,149
Commander, we'll follow
wherever you lead us!

1401
01:30:49,193 --> 01:30:52,571
- Long live the commander!
- Long live France!

1402
01:30:52,572 --> 01:30:55,240
Well, then, it is
time, brave soldiers.

1403
01:30:55,241 --> 01:30:58,869
Let us fight for our
people and our homeland!

1404
01:30:58,870 --> 01:31:03,206
Our history will not be made
by a single hero or general,

1405
01:31:03,207 --> 01:31:04,625
but by us, the people.

1406
01:31:05,209 --> 01:31:08,587
We soldiers will be unsung
heroes of our homeland!

1407
01:31:11,424 --> 01:31:14,051
Our destination is
the Tuileries Garden!

1408
01:31:17,513 --> 01:31:18,848
Now charge!

1409
01:31:27,440 --> 01:31:28,565
- André.
- Oh.

1410
01:31:28,566 --> 01:31:30,942
After we win this battle,
we'll have a wedding.

1411
01:31:40,119 --> 01:31:41,119
<i>Farewell</i>

1412
01:31:42,413 --> 01:31:44,624
<i>to the different yokes
I've carried in life.</i>

1413
01:31:45,750 --> 01:31:48,711
<i>The days I cherished,
now gone forever.</i>

1414
01:32:05,311 --> 01:32:06,687
Take that!

1415
01:32:12,610 --> 01:32:14,195
The French
Guards are here.

1416
01:32:16,280 --> 01:32:17,197
Forward!

1417
01:32:20,660 --> 01:32:21,660
And fire!

1418
01:32:25,081 --> 01:32:28,500
They're not shooting at
us? Are they on our side?

1419
01:32:30,127 --> 01:32:33,380
The French Guards? How could they?

1420
01:32:33,381 --> 01:32:36,050
Oh! Oscar?

1421
01:32:40,054 --> 01:32:41,264
And fire!

1422
01:32:45,017 --> 01:32:46,101
Do not break rank!

1423
01:32:46,102 --> 01:32:47,435
Advance!

1424
01:32:49,105 --> 01:32:50,647
Quickly, fan out!

1425
01:32:50,648 --> 01:32:53,441
Surround the enemy troops.
Keep the citizens safe!

1426
01:33:01,951 --> 01:33:03,535
Make sure to hold the line.

1427
01:33:03,536 --> 01:33:06,454
If a woman is leading, they
should be easy to stop!

1428
01:33:06,455 --> 01:33:09,207
Ha! Noble dogs.

1429
01:33:09,208 --> 01:33:10,834
You don't know our commander.

1430
01:33:10,835 --> 01:33:13,462
Let's hear it for
the French Guards!

1431
01:33:15,256 --> 01:33:17,507
Let's make sure the
French Guards have cover!

1432
01:33:23,389 --> 01:33:25,016
And fire!

1433
01:33:30,479 --> 01:33:32,897
Ready, aim, and fire!

1434
01:33:34,567 --> 01:33:36,860
Jean! Jean!

1435
01:33:36,861 --> 01:33:38,612
Jean!

1436
01:33:38,613 --> 01:33:40,114
Ready, aim!

1437
01:33:42,199 --> 01:33:44,284
Oscar, look out!

1438
01:33:44,285 --> 01:33:45,286
André!

1439
01:33:46,287 --> 01:33:47,413
And fire!

1440
01:34:06,682 --> 01:34:08,266
André!

1441
01:34:08,267 --> 01:34:10,603
Bastards! And fire!

1442
01:34:18,277 --> 01:34:20,820
How dare they? Damn it! Retreat!

1443
01:34:20,821 --> 01:34:23,490
Retreat to the Champ
de Mars at once!

1444
01:34:36,295 --> 01:34:38,631
Stay with
me. You're all right!

1445
01:34:45,971 --> 01:34:48,766
Don't... Don't leave
the front line.

1446
01:34:49,392 --> 01:34:50,642
Don't talk.

1447
01:34:50,643 --> 01:34:53,645
Why would...
...the commander...

1448
01:34:53,646 --> 01:34:57,857
...leave the front?

1449
01:34:57,858 --> 01:34:59,110
I said don't talk!

1450
01:35:05,157 --> 01:35:06,157
André!

1451
01:35:06,575 --> 01:35:08,076
Let me stop the bleeding.

1452
01:35:08,077 --> 01:35:10,955
Huh?

1453
01:35:14,250 --> 01:35:16,252
I feel your... cheek.

1454
01:35:16,794 --> 01:35:17,794
Huh?

1455
01:35:18,754 --> 01:35:19,838
And right there...

1456
01:35:21,674 --> 01:35:24,426
...your nose.

1457
01:35:24,427 --> 01:35:26,720
Oh.

1458
01:35:26,721 --> 01:35:29,681
And there, the lips I know.

1459
01:35:29,682 --> 01:35:31,266
You can't see.

1460
01:35:31,267 --> 01:35:32,351
Nothing at all?

1461
01:35:33,936 --> 01:35:35,688
For how long? André!

1462
01:35:38,065 --> 01:35:40,442
- Why didn't you say?
- Commander!

1463
01:35:40,443 --> 01:35:43,611
Why? Why would
you not tell me?

1464
01:35:43,612 --> 01:35:45,740
How could you come here blind?

1465
01:35:46,282 --> 01:35:49,410
How could... How
could you, you idiot?!

1466
01:36:00,337 --> 01:36:01,630
André...

1467
01:36:12,266 --> 01:36:14,894
Is that you, Oscar?

1468
01:36:20,274 --> 01:36:21,274
<i>Ah.</i>

1469
01:36:22,318 --> 01:36:23,193
<i>Ah!</i>

1470
01:36:24,445 --> 01:36:25,905
<i>Those blue eyes.</i>

1471
01:36:26,697 --> 01:36:28,157
<i>That elegant strength.</i>

1472
01:36:29,074 --> 01:36:30,910
<i>Like the wings of a Pegasus.</i>

1473
01:36:31,744 --> 01:36:34,288
<i>Mystical beauty that
makes my heart flutter.</i>

1474
01:36:35,706 --> 01:36:37,875
<i>Your blonde hair
dancing in the wind.</i>

1475
01:36:39,251 --> 01:36:40,836
<i>Soft as a breeze...</i>

1476
01:36:56,060 --> 01:36:57,060
André!

1477
01:36:58,145 --> 01:37:00,730
Don't go now.

1478
01:37:00,731 --> 01:37:01,898
Don't you leave!

1479
01:37:01,899 --> 01:37:05,109
Don't you leave me!

1480
01:37:05,110 --> 01:37:07,863
Please don't leave
me here all alone!

1481
01:37:08,489 --> 01:37:10,865
Get off the
road! Get out already!

1482
01:37:10,866 --> 01:37:12,033
André!

1483
01:37:12,034 --> 01:37:13,327
Get the hell out!

1484
01:37:21,043 --> 01:37:24,213
André!

1485
01:37:30,511 --> 01:37:34,472
<i>The year
was 1789, July 14th.</i>

1486
01:37:34,473 --> 01:37:37,892
<i>This day would be immortalized
in global history,</i>

1487
01:37:37,893 --> 01:37:40,687
<i>yet the sun rose
like the day before.</i>

1488
01:37:40,688 --> 01:37:44,400
<i>It was a fine summer's day
with slightly warmer weather.</i>

1489
01:37:45,317 --> 01:37:46,318
My soldiers!

1490
01:37:47,444 --> 01:37:49,696
<i>The Bastille positioned
their cannons,</i>

1491
01:37:49,697 --> 01:37:53,032
<i>all of which now target
the city of Paris.</i>

1492
01:37:53,033 --> 01:37:55,910
- To the Bastille!
<i>- The people are enraged.</i>

1493
01:37:55,911 --> 01:37:57,745
<i>Their hearts burn with anger.</i>

1494
01:37:57,746 --> 01:38:00,081
<i>They move as one
to the Bastille.</i>

1495
01:38:00,082 --> 01:38:02,417
You can't do this to us!

1496
01:38:04,712 --> 01:38:06,505
If our people are fighting,

1497
01:38:07,172 --> 01:38:08,715
then we should join them.

1498
01:38:08,716 --> 01:38:10,301
Huzzah!

1499
01:38:12,720 --> 01:38:15,597
- Shall we, André? Ready to go?
- For the people!

1500
01:38:26,692 --> 01:38:28,777
I... Just a moment.

1501
01:38:32,323 --> 01:38:33,616
My apologies.

1502
01:39:04,730 --> 01:39:06,273
To the Bastille!

1503
01:39:15,157 --> 01:39:17,116
- Lower it, cowards!
- Surrender!

1504
01:39:17,117 --> 01:39:18,993
Come out of that
prison peacefully!

1505
01:39:18,994 --> 01:39:20,746
Lay down your arms!

1506
01:39:30,172 --> 01:39:32,049
Commander! Your orders?

1507
01:39:32,591 --> 01:39:35,301
Nothing more than disorderly
crowds it would seem.

1508
01:39:35,302 --> 01:39:37,179
Show those peasants who we are.

1509
01:39:38,222 --> 01:39:39,598
Ready your aim!

1510
01:39:40,349 --> 01:39:41,809
And fire!

1511
01:39:51,944 --> 01:39:54,862
Move the wounded!
Where are the cannons?

1512
01:39:57,574 --> 01:39:58,659
God save us!

1513
01:40:16,802 --> 01:40:17,970
We're saved!

1514
01:40:19,805 --> 01:40:20,848
Thank God!

1515
01:40:24,476 --> 01:40:26,311

Guards are here!

1516
01:40:36,321 --> 01:40:37,781

01:42:21,927 --> 01:42:24,595
La Salle, we need to blow
the castle gate open,

1549
01:42:24,596 --> 01:42:26,014
so move cannons forward!

1550
01:42:31,895 --> 01:42:33,188
Commander!

1551
01:42:34,523 --> 01:42:38,025

1554
01:42:48,370 --> 01:42:50,247
Again! Why are you waiting?

1555
01:42:50,831 --> 01:42:51,956
Commander!

1556
01:42:51,957 --> 01:42:53,708

1560
01:43:07,306 --> 01:43:09,807
- Commander!
- Commander! Commander!

1561
01:43:11,977 --> 01:43:13,896
Alain, your arm...

1562
01:43:14,897 --> 01:43:17,024
Keep... Keep fighting.

1563
01:43:19,401 --> 01:43:20,611
You have to

1564
01:43:21,862 --> 01:43:22,946
keep shooting.

1565
01:43:23,697 --> 01:43:26,825
Just... Just a little more...

1566
01:43:30,495 --> 01:43:31,495
The...

1567
01:43:31,830 --> 01:43:33,999
The Bastille must fall.

1568
01:43:35,417 --> 01:43:37,418
Right!

1569
01:43:45,802 --> 01:43:47,429
André!

1570
01:43:49,181 --> 01:43:50,557
My sweet husband.

1571
01:43:51,266 --> 01:43:52,266
My André.

1572
01:43:53,560 --> 01:43:54,895
Did you suffer?

1573
01:43:55,562 --> 01:43:56,939
I hope it was quick.

1574
01:43:57,439 --> 01:44:01,360
Take me by
the hand, André.

1575
01:44:02,402 --> 01:44:06,073
I would have nothing to
fear if you were with me.

1576
01:44:06,698 --> 01:44:08,867
Commander. Hang on.

1577
01:44:09,785 --> 01:44:11,745
Put me down here, Alain.

1578
01:44:13,080 --> 01:44:15,289
Commander, we'll
tend to your wounds.

1579
01:44:15,290 --> 01:44:16,708
No further.

1580
01:44:17,251 --> 01:44:19,753
Please just set me down now.

1581
01:44:20,379 --> 01:44:21,379
Uh...

1582
01:44:33,684 --> 01:44:34,851
André is

1583
01:44:35,852 --> 01:44:36,895
waiting.

1584
01:44:37,938 --> 01:44:39,106
Waiting for me.

1585
01:45:05,007 --> 01:45:06,550
My mind is at peace.

1586
01:45:07,926 --> 01:45:10,846
I got to live without a
single regret in life.

1587
01:45:11,555 --> 01:45:13,181
My heart always led me.

1588
01:45:13,682 --> 01:45:15,766
I was following my guide.

1589
01:45:15,767 --> 01:45:18,602
I even
knew the warmth of love.

1590
01:45:28,071 --> 01:45:30,866
They... Commander!

1591
01:45:31,783 --> 01:45:33,492
The white flag of surrender!

1592
01:45:37,247 --> 01:45:39,957
Finally... it's over.

1593
01:45:53,597 --> 01:45:56,433
<i>Oh, France,
how I love you.</i>

1594
01:46:00,020 --> 01:46:01,396
<i>And its citizens.</i>

1595
01:46:02,022 --> 01:46:04,691
<i>The brave and courageous
French people.</i>

1596
01:46:05,984 --> 01:46:09,738
<i>Liberty. Equality. Fraternity.</i>

1597
01:46:10,530 --> 01:46:13,158
<i>I hope this honorable ideal</i>

1598
01:46:14,659 --> 01:46:15,659
<i>will prevail,</i>

1599
01:46:16,661 --> 01:46:20,415
<i>and lay a strong foundation
for all of humankind.</i>

1600
01:46:29,716 --> 01:46:30,716
Yes.

1601
01:46:31,218 --> 01:46:32,594
L-Long live

1602
01:46:33,345 --> 01:46:34,345
France!

1603
01:46:40,852 --> 01:46:42,354
- Commander!
- Commander!

1604
01:46:43,355 --> 01:46:44,605
- Commander!
- Commander!

1605
01:46:45,732 --> 01:46:46,942
They surrendered!

1606
01:46:47,692 --> 01:46:50,945
Hooray! We turned
it straight back on them!

1607
01:46:55,367 --> 01:46:57,202
We did it! We won!

1608
01:47:02,416 --> 01:47:03,958
We did it, everyone!

1609
01:48:51,483 --> 01:48:58,489
July 14th, 1789:
Fall of the Bastille.

1610
01:48:58,490 --> 01:49:05,580
That moment was the beginning
of a new chapter in history.

1611
01:49:07,874 --> 01:49:14,880
August 26th, 1789: Declaration of
the Rights of Man and of the Citizen.

1612
01:49:14,881 --> 01:49:21,554
This declaration, honoring freedom
and equality of all people,

1613
01:49:21,555 --> 01:49:28,186
became a lasting monument
in human history.

1614
01:49:28,853 --> 01:49:35,859
October 5th, 1789:
the October March.

1615
01:49:35,860 --> 01:49:40,948
Angered by food shortages,

1616
01:49:40,949 --> 01:49:46,037
Parisian women
marched on Versailles.

1617
01:49:48,206 --> 01:49:52,209
October 6th, 1789.

1618
01:49:52,210 --> 01:49:59,300
The royal family left
Versailles forever

1619
01:49:59,301 --> 01:50:06,391
and made their way to the
Tuileries Palace in Paris.

1620
01:50:09,144 --> 01:50:16,150
June 20th, 1791: the
Flight to Varennes.

1621
01:50:16,151 --> 01:50:22,239
Aided by von Fersen, the royal family
failed in an attempt to flee the country.

1622
01:50:22,240 --> 01:50:28,413
Anger grew stronger
among the citizens.

1623
01:50:28,997 --> 01:50:33,000
August 13th, 1792.

1624
01:50:33,001 --> 01:50:40,090
Royal authority was rescinded.

1625
01:50:40,091 --> 01:50:47,182
The royal family was imprisoned
in the Tour du Temple.

1626
01:50:49,934 --> 01:50:53,937
September 21st, 1792:
Abolition of the Monarchy.

1627
01:50:53,938 --> 01:51:01,028
Louis XVI abdicated, and
France was declared a republic.

1628
01:51:10,455 --> 01:51:14,458
January 21st, 1793.

1629
01:51:14,459 --> 01:51:18,546
Louis XVI was executed.

1630
01:51:30,558 --> 01:51:33,560
August 1st, 1793.

1631
01:51:33,561 --> 01:51:40,651
Marie Antoinette was
separated from her children

1632
01:51:40,652 --> 01:51:47,742
and moved to the Conciergerie.

1633
01:51:50,370 --> 01:51:54,373
October 16th, 1793.

1634
01:51:54,374 --> 01:51:59,462
Marie Antoinette was executed.

1635
01:52:11,433 --> 01:52:13,434
June 20th, 1810.

1636
01:52:13,435 --> 01:52:20,524
Hans Axel von Fersen was killed
by a mob in his native Sweden.

1637
01:52:20,525 --> 01:52:27,615
True to his promise to Marie
Antoinette, he never married.

1638
01:52:30,952 --> 01:52:33,620
The French Revolution,

1639
01:52:33,621 --> 01:52:37,458
beginning with the fall of the
Bastille on July 14th, 1789,

1640
01:52:37,459 --> 01:52:39,752
led to the Reign of Terror,

1641
01:52:39,753 --> 01:52:43,547
which ended after Napoleon's coup
d'état on November 9th, 1799.

1642
01:52:43,548 --> 01:52:49,303
These roses lived through
those tempestuous times,

1643
01:52:49,304 --> 01:52:52,389
resolutely pursuing
their own will.

1644
01:52:59,189 --> 01:53:02,692
<i>To this day, their
brilliant flowers are blooming.</i>

1645
01:53:03,234 --> 01:53:06,361
<i>Each one stands noble and proud.</i>

1646
01:53:06,362 --> 01:53:09,031
<i>Their bold petals never fade.</i>

1647
01:53:09,032 --> 01:53:12,619
<i>Everlasting radiance,
bathed in warm light.</i>
