All language subtitles for Sins.1986.part1

It's hard to be tender

It's hard to stay open

when you're dizzy with anger

When your dreams have been

broken

The country is so

that I'll be calling from New York.

Send a thank you note to the ambassador
thanking her for her help in preparing

the article, et cetera, et cetera, and
forward the galleys to me as soon as

they're ready in New York.

Hello, darling. Hurry. They're holding
the plane for us.

Thank you, Sylvie. Good luck.

Drive on.

Well?

More bad news.

Sales. First issue woman of today
magazine continue far below projected

estimates in all major US cities.

Still time to call off the gala tonight
for the advertisers.

No, Edmund, it's more important than
ever now. We've got to buy ourselves

time. Helen, I want you to consider
cancelling the second issue.

I have considered it and I won't.

I believe in this magazine.

Believing is one thing.

Staking everything you've worked for all
your life is something else.

It's not just the Juno Publications
empire that's at risk.

You're $20 million in debt personally.

I know.

I'm advising you now, not just as your
partner or your business manager, but as

your brother. Close woman of today down.
Cut your losses.

Save what you can.

Helen, we're in deep trouble.

We've been in trouble before, Edmund,
and we've survived.

The fight is only just beginning.

Gentlemen, I am willing to guarantee my
product to the next century, but I will

not haggle.

That is my final price.

Tell your commissar he can take it or he
can leave it.

Why should our country pay you a
premium? Because you need gas pipeline

Siberia now, and I can supply it now.

Excuse me, sir.

Yes? You did say to interrupt.

Yes, yes, yes. What is it?

What you've been waiting for from New
York.

Woman of today, 32, a failure.

Excellent. Thank you.

We accept your price, but we cannot pay
in cash.

We must have terms.

Why not?

Yes, indeed.

Why not?

I'm not an unreasonable man.

Thank you. Good.

Stick me with you to New York.

Come on, I've never been there.

Come on.

Not this trip, my dear.

This is business.

I'm making all Marcello Dietri. And even
more important, his revenge.

Upon revenge, you know.

Bye. It sounds wonderful.

But please, stick me with you.

Do be quiet.

You're so much better when you say
nothing.

Yamo.

The next time, my dear.

You better be.

Vulnerable. Our friends in New York are
expecting us to finish with her.

I'll see you there.

There is justice after all.

evening, Miss Junot. Thank you. Do you
have a statement, Miss Junot? Oh, I'm

sorry, I don't have anything to say.
Excuse me, we'll be issuing a statement

later.

Looks like we're in for a tough time.
Yes.

Luba.

Oh, darling, look at you. You look more
spectacular than ever. And you look

fantastic. How do we do it? I don't
know.

And where's Edmund? He's down there
changing. Why aren't you at the party?

I was, but I came up to warn you.

There are a lot of very angry
advertisers down there with long knives

lost lots of money, wondering if Elaine
Juneau has lost her touch.

Do you think she has? Of course not.

Well, then.

What about us four, except for people to
be bitchy?

I'll be down in five minutes.

I don't care what they say. I love the
magazine.

Well, you're going to like it even more,
Julie.

I take it you're going to give us make
-goods and couture for what we've lost

your new magazine.

Oh, we'll talk about that over lunch,
Harry, okay?

How are you going to turn things around?

We've got market research working
overtime on the latest concepts.

We made a commitment to reach the
average woman, and we're going to do

that. I'll see you later.

This is going to be tougher than I
thought.

I wish you two would circulate. Work
some of your verbal magic.

I'll do my best.

Okay, sir.

Back into the press.

Tom! Oh, you old rogue. It's good of you
to fly in.

I feel much better now that I've seen
you. Good.

You're looking prosperous.

But I must admit, I'm still licking my
wounds.

A double -page spread at the highest
rates ever paid by any advertiser

and what did it bring in?

Didn't it look good, Tom?

That's true, but... Prize -winning
stuff, I'd say.

Oh, yeah, but I do have a board of...
Hello, Helen.

It's easy.

What a surprise.

How wouldn't it miss this party for the
whole world?

Having a good time.

Oh, one thanks, and you?

The two of you know each other.

Oh, yes, very, very well.

You see, I'm not just another pretty
face. I'm an architect.

This is my building.

Yes, Lizzie and Steve Bryant are
partners.

They designed the Juno Tower.

What? My husband didn't survive the
experience.

One smile from Ellen, and a man drops
dead.

Et voila.

Have a good time.

I'll see you later, Tommy.

caviar, they drink the champagne, and
what do they do? They complain.

I guess they're trying to get some of
their money back. Yes, I suppose so.

don't sympathize with them, Edmund, or
we're lost.

Helen, we're going to have to give them
something. Sweet Talk won't do it.

Well, if they want to trade us against
Pitou, I think we should do it and make

them happy.

The board won't like it.

It agrees.

Uh -oh, here comes your friendly banker.

Have you ever seen such glitter?

Major glitter.

Oh, when's the last time you boogied me?
Oh, come on, Dad.

Oh, come on, just one last time.

All right, let's get the banker in his
lap.

Mr. Gore, Mr. Gore. I'm so happy you
could come. How are you? Oh, I wouldn't

miss it.

You know, publications is engraved
pretty deeply in my heart. Yes. And in

bank. Good.

I, uh, my wife, Jacqueline, uh, uh,
Helene.

Yes, hello.

Hello. Hello. Hello.

Hello.

Thank you.

Oh, do please mention the diamonds. They
get to feel so left out.

Well, the diamonds are beautiful, too.

Thank you.

Now they will sparkle all evening.

They can salt, you know.

Darling Adam, he's so generous.

Sometimes I don't know how he does it.

I'm a banker, my dear. Give a kiss.

Oh, Adam, please. Can I go and have a
little dance?

Go. Do whatever you like, my darling.

Just don't start a riot.

See you later.

Does that cause a riot sometimes?

I can't believe it.

Well, she's very, very beautiful.

Thank you.

proper place to bring this up, but I,
uh... I feel very badly about this,

you know, but... But I,

uh... It was inevitable that with your
assets being combined that if Woman of

Today didn't make it, you know
publications would plunge and the

manipulated. We'll have the situation
under control in a day or two.

We're calling in the loan tomorrow
morning.

That's outrageous.

I'm sorry?

How much more collateral do you need?

We'd be prepared to offer you a further
$8 million worth of stock.

I'm not interested in additional stock.
Something that's falling in value every

day. We have $20 million at stake. We
must have the right to protect it.

Sorry, there's nothing I can do about
it. Mr. Gore, need I remind you that we

have $160 million in annual return over
at your bank?

Yes. And tomorrow morning, we will close
all of our accounts and move our money

out of your bank.

Miss Junot, I hope you realize that
neither I nor Manhattan Bank reacts very

well to blackmail.

No, do we.

Being savaged by people with whom we've
done fairly enough.

Edmund.

Miss Junot.

If you promise not to disturb any of the
Junot accounts, I personally will

guarantee the acceptance of additional
stock as collateral for your loan.

Thank you, Mr. Gore.

That's very generous of you.

Why don't you go and enjoy the party?
It's always a mistake to mix business

pleasure. Something always goes wrong.

I'd better get my wife.

You know,

I just cannot quite figure him out.

He seems...

He was too easily shaken.

I wonder why.

Excuse me, sir. I'm sorry, but you can't
park there.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

Hey, Johnny.

How much is 2 ,000 lira?

About half a slice of pizza.

Hi, Dad.

Natalie. Hello. How are you?

Oh, Natalie, I'm so glad you could come,
darling.

Father said I should come pay my
respects.

I'm sorry about the day before today.

It was just the first issue.

How are they treating you at your
magazine?

I hope they appreciate you.

They do. Well, they should.

Why don't you ask me about my personal
life?

Well, I was going to. How's the baby?

The baby's fine.

And so is Wade.

Come on, you two. This is a party. Let's
be friends.

Hello.

Edmund.

Ciao.

Oh, and such a lovely young lady.

Marcello. Yes, I know.

You do?

Yes, I was at the Golden Ball in Venice.

What are you doing here, Marcello? You
weren't invited.

It's such a pleasure to be here.

This is one of the most wonderful nights
of my life.

Don't you wish you could say the same?

Edmund, call security.

No, that won't be necessary.

I just wanted you to know I was thinking
of you.

and that there are even more wonderful
times to come.

Ciao. Ciao.

Luba, Jacques, how are you, Jacques?

Well, I was feeling fine.

Luba, I think that a fly just landed in
my wine.

Capisce?

Try white wine.

a celebration for the success of Woman
of Today.

Well, as you all know, unfortunately
that turned out to be just a bit

But notice, notice that I said premature
but not wrong.

Couture has always been known for high
fashion and fantasy.

And the new magazine is going to be
aimed at today's woman in terms of

and everyday living.

So please just give us all a little more
time.

And with our wonderful team, My loyal
editor -in -chief, Luba Turina. Bravo!

Our superb pictorial specialist, Jacques
Danvers.

And my brother and business partner,
Edmund. I know we're going to succeed

give you what you want.

I could have taken a cab, Dad.

Nonsense.

But you didn't heal any wounds with
Helen.

She's preoccupied with her own at the
moment.

Natalie, I want to ask you as a
professional, do you think a woman of

be turned around?

It has to be.

Well, she hasn't got anything after all
these years.

Nothing.

Anyone home?

Edmund?

Is that you?

I had to see you.

Now, I know you're in trouble, and I
want to help you in any way I can.

Oh, I appreciate that. Just tell me what
I can do to help.

Well, maybe there are some things in
connection with this talk.

Edmund thinks it's being manipulated.

I'll call him first thing in the
morning.

Thanks.

How about some coffee or a drink or
something?

Nothing, thank you.

Did you just come up from Washington?

I would have, of course, but there were
Senate hearings here in New York.

I heard that you're planning to run for
re -election. Is that true?

Yes, I expect it.

You're more beautiful every time I see
you.

Thanks.

How have you been?

Oh, I've been fine.

Personally, I mean.

I'm not involved with anyone, if that's
what you meant.

Yes, that's what I meant.

Helen. Sometimes it takes a long time
for love to change to friendship.

Sometimes it never happens.

It hasn't happened for me.

But you're being a friend now, a very
good friend. Yes, but what I want to do

take you into my arms.

What I want to do is to take you to bed.

Isn't that what you want?

Oh, yes.

Yes, that's what I want.

Because afterwards you just go home to
your wife. And I'm not going to share

you, David. I can't.

Can you explain these charges right
here? I don't understand the code.

These are long -distance charges.
Reservation for carbonite. Yes,

sir.

Yes?

Everything's set.

I'm ready.

My client wants her to... suffer yes
it'll be painful and bloody like your

before she dies that pretty face of hers
will be ripped to shreds

just give me the word when i got the
weapon

right here

Oh, Arthur.

Oh, it's been such a long time. It's so
good to see you.

Oh, Arthur, you old fox.

Now, what brings you here?

The old fox sends trouble.

You'll have a drink?

Come, sit down.

Tell me everything.

As you know, I've been keeping an eye on
von Eidefeld.

I heard this morning that he was flying
to New York. I followed him.

He's here in Manhattan.

Why?

Profit. Hate.

Those are the only strings he dances to.
I suspect hate.

Of course it's hate.

It won't be over between Von Eiderfeld
and I until he is dead or I am.

I was a child when the Nazis occupied
Paris.

There were German soldiers and tanks
everywhere.

We were hungry all the time.

Our friends and neighbors were taken
away during the night, never to be seen

again.

My father left to fight for the
resistance, and I was alone with my

brother Edmund, and my little sister.

It was then that I first met the Gestapo
officer.

Carl von Eidefeldt.

Hélène? Hélène?

Wake up.

What's wrong with you? Get dressed,
hurry.

I've been warned the Gestapo's on the
way.

Really?

I'll pack some food.

Edmund, let's just walk into places.

Her cough is worse.

Her doll is in the sewing room.

Oh, darling.

Oh, darling.

Up,

Tesson.

Shoot anyone that leaves.

You wait there.

Here you go, Twinette.

You have the travel papers in them,
aren't you?

They're in my pocket.

Okay, let's go. Come on, quickly.

Both of you listen to me carefully. Your
lives depend on it.

If you're captured, you must tell the
Nazis nothing.

Nothing!

Oh, please.

God will forgive you. Whatever you have
to do.

Don't forget I love you.

Search the house.

Madam Juno.

Yes.

Can I help you?

You might be able to help me if you tell
us where the radio transmitter is.

Sorry, I... You don't know what you're
talking about.

Come, Madam Juno.

We know you've been sending messages to
England for the underground.

Now, why don't you tell me where the
transmitter is?

I've sent no messages to England.

I'm pregnant.

How imprudent of you in these times.

Still, they are not heartless if you
cooperate with us.

Now tell me where it is.

I don't know what you're talking about.

we want.

Herr Major, I found this in the sawing
room.

Oh.

And the children?

They're not here, Herr Major.

Well,

it seems you have been deceiving us.

However, you can still save your life.

Who made you send those messages?

No messages.

Come on, you can tell me.

Don't give yourself any more pain. Just
one name.

No. Come on, just one name. No.

We'll find out from the children anyway.

They'll tell us who's been visiting the
house.

Where are the children, Madame Junot?

Madame Junot, where are the children?

The children?

Remain here and wait for those children.

I want those children.

Yes, sir.

Yes, GoPro.

You've got to get out of here.

Come on.

I'll get Marie.

Thank you.

I'll come back.

You are Yvonne Junot -Sheldon?

Yes.

She's dead.

I think Stopper killed her.

I'm so sorry.

She was a fine, brave woman.

She said you could help us get the
sender there.

Yes. Do you have travel paper?

Please sit down.

Different names for each of them.

How long?

About an hour.

Wait here. Still come back with the
paper.

And I'll take you upstairs.

Don't be worried.

I'll take care of you.

I'd like to.

But you know, I don't want to lose any
money, that's all.

Stay with you tonight.

You will be paid as if you worked. Okay?

Who are they?

Friend. Just friend. Okay. Come.

Oh, poor thing.

Hey.

We'll talk tomorrow.

Thank you for everything.

Oh, make yourself comfortable, friend.

Who is it?

Annette. I'm speaking to you. I'll come
out.

Children.

It's them.

Murderers. Murderers.

And my regular told me they should two
get double men. There's a reward.

We can play it.

It's wrong, Annette. They're friends and
they're children.

Oh, who cares what they are?

A half million friends.

Did you?

So did I.

I'm going for the Gestapo, and I'm
warning you, those rats better be here

they come.

hungry. So am I.

So's Marie.

I know what I'd like.

Some hot coke and a croissant. Oh,
Edmund. How

much longer?

We're not there till we get to San Jose.

Why do the Germans hate us so much?

Because we won't give in to them.

Marie's got to get to her doctor.

I'm going back for one. Suppose you're
caught.

If I don't get back by nightfall...

You and Marie must go on together.

With your new identity papers, you have
a better chance of getting through.

Suppose we're caught too.

Whatever happens, we must pretend that
we don't know each other.

They're looking for the three of us
together.

It's very important you understand.

We must swear on Mama's ring that we'll
never forget each other.

That we're as one and always will be.

I want you to go.

Are you frightened?

I'm not.

Do you live near here?

In shelter.

Excuse me.

One moment.

Your paper.

Very pretty, you know.

What's your hurry?

Let's get home.

A few minutes one way or the other won't
matter.

Come.

Give me a little kiss.

No!

Won't you? Won't you?

A pretty little bird.

Fighter.

See what you turned up?

Look.

My arm.

Get out. Come on. Quick, quick, quick,
quick.

Helen, why make things difficult for
yourself?

You'll find life a lot easier.

You tell me, who in the underground gave
messages to your mother?

Nobody.

Who came to visit your mother?

Nobody.

Didn't your mother have any friends?

No.

can greet your sister.

I don't understand.

It's all over.

No more paying for either of you.

Your sister's been most cooperative.

She's told us all the names of the
people who worked with your mother.

My mother? How does she know anything
about my mother?

Now, Edmund, that's not necessary now.

My name's not Edmund.

I keep telling you I'm George Leclerc.
You've seen my papers.

Take the child.

Are you going to say hello to your
sister?

I'm thirsty.

I'm thirsty.

Is this your sister?

Oh, dear, dear.

Don't you want some medical treatment
for your sister?

She's not my sister.

And he's not my brother.

Oh, yes, he is.

He is very much your brother.

My brother Edmund is... in the forge
where my father fought.

I'm returning her to Paris, where she'll
suffer the most

unimaginable horror until she'll beg to
die.

But we won't let her die, of course,
until she tells us everything that we

to know.

Now, surely you want to spare your
sister that, don't you, Edmund? Of

will. Good.

Is it true?

It might be an embarrassment. It rings
for deportation.

And this one?

All he asks is a shipment of Jewish
children.

I don't understand.

What might he do with us?

We'll find out.

Soon enough.

Push it!

I've got to help my brother and sister.

You've got to help them.

It's okay.

Easy now. Come on.

Over here.

Where are they?

I'm not sure.

The Nazi said Reims.

Staging area for deportation to forced
labor.

Get me the cutters!

Maybe they didn't find out who he was.

Will they kill him in Germany?

They'll work him.

If he's strong, he may survive.

And your sister?

She's only four.

And she's very sick.

Not suitable for work.

Probably they'll put her with Jewish
children, also for deportation.

But she's not Jewish.

But it's a convenient way of... I'm
sorry.

Disposing of bodies.

They walk to their own graves.

The bigger children will carry the
little ones. No, it's impossible.

You've got to help them. I wish we
could.

But there's just so much we can do.

Listen. You look as if you've been
through a great deal yourself.

Just try to rest now. No, I can't rest.

Not until I know they're safe.

And not until that Nazi pays for what
he's done.

Good morning.

Good morning, Luba.

Here, I thought I was being a good
soldier coming in early.

Security tells me you've been here all
night.

Yes, I've been working on a new ad
campaign for Women of Today. Less

flash, more mainstream. Oh,

very nice.

Not too bad. Yes, very nice.

Helen, staying up all night is hardly
the way to prepare for a press

You're right.

Would you like me to call Susumu and see
if he can slip you in? Oh, what a good

idea. Nothing restores the soul like a
hairdo at Susumu.

Well, I'm not sure it's your soul the
press cares about.

Why didn't you leave all this to the ad
agency?

Well, darling, I did that last time. You
know what happened. Total disaster.

Your love.

Hello? Susumu.

Mademoiselle Junot is on her way over.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

I hope you noticed a copy of Woman Today
in the reception room.

I certainly did.

I liked it.

But then I am always ahead of the
public. Well, that's what makes you so

special.

And you, my dear Hélène.

What do you think?

Hmm. As usual.

Super.

You bring out the best in me.

Susan, I'm so sorry I'm late.

I... Why, Hélène, you know.

If we tried to call you, we won't be
long.

I'm sorry.

Don't be silly, Hélène.

I wandered into my favorite jewelry shop
and completely lost myself.

The rubies.

I had the other two.

Oh, they are fabulous.

All of them.

You don't think they clash, the rubies
and the emeralds?

Well, on somebody else, maybe, but not
on you, Jacqueline. Oh, thank you. What

nice compliment.

I'm sure Alan will adore them on me.

A lot of what I buy, I do for his sake,
you know.

I myself would be happy with a lot less.

See you later.

Goodbye.

I wonder if she would.

Department of Manhattan, a house in
Connecticut, another in West Palm Beach,

private jet, extravagant parties, and
jewelry before breakfast. I wonder if

she's overdoing it.

My dear, she's married to a banker, not
a multimillionaire.

Oh, I think it goes well enough off. I
like Jacqueline. She enjoys life.

Helen, I like all my clients.

I'm particularly fond of the ones who
pay their bills on time.

Mrs. Gore does not. Oh, well, I am
having one of my good days.

Goodbye, Mr. Moore.

Bye.

I told you you'd bring out the best in
me.

The transmitter letter to the bank. It
goes along with your stock.

Thanks.

Eight million dollars, Helene.

The last eight million.

You can still pull back.

You know me better than that, Edmund.

I thought that the press conference went
rather well, actually. I have a feeling

that everything's going to be all right.

By the way, did you find out anything
else about Mr. Gore?

No. I put a private detective onto him.

He has a very expensive lifestyle for a
banker.

He also has a very good wife.

Hello, hello.

Adam, dear. Yes?

I hope you don't mind my popping in this
way.

It's always a pleasure to see you, my
love. I simply couldn't contain myself.

Yes? I have to show you something.

What do you have today for me, my love?

Adam.

The most superb diamond.

Diamonds? Chara, necklace and earrings.

Adam, they belong to royalty.

Royalty? They're just everything I ever
wanted.

Darling, they're beautiful.

Oh, sweetheart, please, it's not a good
time.

We have bills that haven't even started
thinking about paying.

Oh, Adam, you always say things like
that. I'm not just saying it this time.

then you do your magic and somehow it
always works out.

What are they asking?

Only 600 ,000 for the whole set. And I'm
sure we can get it for half a million.

Adam, I want this.

I want it more than I ever wanted
anything in the world.

You'll be so proud.

I'm only doing it for you, you know?

Adam.

Let me think about it, darling.

Really? I said let me think about it.

I didn't say yes.

Oh, I'll leave you this.

Thank you.

Go, go, have yourself some fun.

Go shopping.

Come in, Carl. The others are here.

Brian, Senor Dietrich.

Can I offer you anything? No, thank you,
but perhaps Madame would refrain from

smoking? Madame would not.

To begin with, we can congratulate
ourselves.

The first phase of our plan... for the
destruction of Helen Juno, has been

completely successful.

One wouldn't have thought so, to see her
strutting around her party at Juno

Tower. The great lady, as always.

Not for long, according to my
calculations, she has put up her

to pay for her loan.

She is on the verge of losing everything
she has ever worked for, her whole

life. We have lost a great deal, too,
dumping our stock to drive the price

Now get it back.

And more.

And her head beside.

Just be patient. Be patient.

That's all very well for you to say with
all your millions.

What you lack, Marcello, is not
millions, but courage.

I don't want to be insulted by a
drunkard.

You're a pathetic coward.

And you reek of decay.

Gentlemen, we'll see who has the greater
thirst for revenge.

Marcello, enough.

Marcello's right.

You two don't care anything about the
money.

We're the ones that are going to all the
risk here, dollar for dollar. Not you.

If you want control, as you know, Tal,
madame, risks are in order.

What I want is for that woman to suffer.

And so do we all.

And she will.

And soon.

Now, Senor Dietrich, have you contacted
Luba Chirina?

Are you aware that Luba Cirina and
Edmond Junot are involved in a long

love affair?

Yes, it's very interesting, but it
needn't interfere.

The black photographer.

I'm taking care of it.

What about the banker and his ludicrous
wife?

First of all, Luba Cirina.

And Jacques Dondez.

And then the doting banker.

And finally...

The end of Helen.

And you've no idea what was discussed.

Perhaps if I knew something about these
people.

They have one thing in common.

They all hate me.

You bared a veil, most of all.

It all started so beautifully.

It's glorious.

I had no idea. It was so grand.

Aunt Louise, who could that be?

That looks like the young Count.

Hello?

Hello?

Roger? Where do you think you're going?

To the servant's entrance.

Nonsense!

Our chateau may date back over a hundred
years, but our manners need not.

Back up!

It's all right, I'll do this.

Welcome to Chateau Bessette.

Thank you.

Hubert de Ville at your service.

And what is your name?

Alain Junot.

Charming.

Is it?

Of course.

And so are you, mademoiselle.

Thank you.

Wait a moment.

And you, madame.

It's so good to see you again.

You too, Hubert.

I presume this marvelous Helen Juno is
your niece.

Mother told me she'd be assisting you
with the sewing this year.

I never dreamt she'd be so lovely.

Take them in.

Oh, Miss Juno, I have always used the
servants' entrance.

You're not servants.

You're aunties.

She makes the juices flow, doesn't she?

She's going to sew for my mother.

What's she going to do for you?

A great deal.

Hands off, Gerard.

Come on, Hubert.

We're neighbors.

She's mine.

I'm sorry, Monsieur le Comte, but your
son insisted.

No.

It's all right.

Welcome back, Louise.

Monsieur le Comte, my niece, Hélène
Junot.

Monsieur.

Charming, isn't she?

It's a pleasure having you here.

Thank you. Bring the ladies to the
servants' quarters. You can use the

hall.

You must be very careful with young
Monsieur there.

Remember, he's the Count's son, and
you're a servant.

I'm not. I'm a dressmaker.

To him, it's the same thing.

You're a toy to be played with and then
discarded.

He's so courteous and gallant. He has a
twinkle in his eye. No, Aunt Louisa,

wrong. His father.

He frightens me.

Do you think that the cloth I've
selected is suitable for these garments,

Louise? It's magnificent, Madame la
Comtesse.

That's the finest cloth I've ever seen.

Helen, just do your work.

My measurements haven't changed, and
that will serve.

Three fittings as always, and no
dawdling.

What's this?

Oh, it's nothing. It's just a drawing.

You drew this?

Oh, but she did it before we started
working for you, Madame la Comtesse.

You copied it, of course.

From where?

No, I didn't copy it. I designed it
myself.

Don't lie to me, young woman.

I'm not lying. Clean up that mess, will
you, dear?

Madame Louise, do you think that we can
include this in the collection?

Oh, yes, of course.

Use the velvet.

Yes, the velvet would be wonderful.

I agree, madame. No, the silk would be
much better.

Oh, I beg your pardon? How dare you
contradict madame la comtesse?

Silk would be much better. Velvet is far
too heavy. With a dress like this, you

have to create the illusion of magic.

You could teach your young niece some
manners, eventually.

Yes, yes, I'm sorry, Ed.

Oh, yes, perhaps I've been too gentle
with her.

But you see, I've always felt sorry for
her. Her mother was killed by the

Gestapo. Her brother and sister deported
and never heard from since.

Really? Yes.

Terrible. The poor child still swears
they're alive and that she will find

someday. She keeps on writing to all the
ministries.

Well, as long as she doesn't do it on my
time. Oh, Louise.

Yes? Use the silk.

Yes, madame.

Good afternoon, monsieur.

Why did you come and take a ride with
me?

Couldn't we take a walk again instead?

Now, don't tell me you're afraid.

Right. Help me up.

Where are we going?

On a great adventure.

Are you frightened?

I'm paralyzed.

I've never done this before.

Well, shall I put you down?

No, please not. I love it.

That's my girl.

If you weren't a servant, I'd teach you
how to ride.

Oh, why can't servants ride?

I suppose they could.

But not at Chateau Vicenne.

Besides, I thought I was an artiste.

Whatever you are, I think you're the
most beautiful girl in the world.

What do you think of me?

I like you very much, my friend.

Don't call me monsieur.

I'm Hubert.

Well, I will not call you one thing in
the field and another at the chateau.

Which will it be? Oh, Hélène, you're
being very difficult.

Of course.

Which will it be?

Monsieur will have to do for now.

Oh, what?

Want a drink?

Only if we stop!

How do you feel?

Partly fine, but part of it isn't.

What's that?

I think this is the finest Bordeaux in
the world.

Helen, my mother and father are going
away for a few weeks.

We can be together more, if you're
willing.

I'd like that, but I have so much work
to do.

Come on. You can make time. I'm sure you
can.

Well, I'll try.

Helen, I've never felt this way. about
anyone.

Ever.

Miss, you please.

I don't know what you've done to me.

Well, don't you like me just a little
bit?

A little bit, yes.

But more will take time. All right.

We'll make time.

Men should learn to be patient.

Okay, turn around.

You're right, just a little.

Stop. Perfect.

Great.

Wait one minute, I've got a better idea.

How do you like that?

Bigger smile.

Perfect. That looks beautiful.

Now, hello.

I want to talk to you about the Grand
Ball of the Divinities.

In our district, it's a very important
event.

And I've decided I want you to come with
me.

Hubert, you know I can't. No can'ts
about it. Of course you can.

You'll be the most beautiful girl there.

And I'll be the envy of everyone.

Not when they find out I'm your mother's
seamstress.

They'll never know.

Please. Please, Helene, for me.

Hubert, I have nothing to wear.

Come round a bit.

Stop.

Perfect.

On second thought, I may be able to come
up with something.

You can't possibly wear the Countess's
gown. Oh, there is no Countess's gown

yet. She hasn't even seen it. Yes, but
it is the Countess's gown.

Well, how would she ever know? She's not
going to be there.

Then I could put special spills on them.
It would be suitable for her anyway.

Then afterwards, we'll just take them
off.

Oh, please, Martha. We've never been to
a ball before.

Perhaps we'll never have another chance.

I don't think we have time anyway. Oh,
yes, we do. It's almost done.

And if the Countess ever found out? The
Countess is away, Aunt Louise.

All right.

You win. Let's see what we can do.

Oh, thank you, Aunt Louise.

You've got to be the most beautiful girl
here.

Oh, thank you, Hubert.

Gerard. Oh, hello, Hubert.

Oh, lovely lady.

Welcome to Chateau de Vigny.

Gerard de Vigny.

Helen Junot. Yeah, I know. I do remember
you.

You reserved a dance.

Perhaps.

We'll see.

Mademoiselle.

Who is she?

I don't know.

But I wish I had that gown.

Excuse me.

You're the loveliest girl in the world
today.

When I do the pack, you must come with
me.

How could I do that?

I'll find a way.

I never want to be without you, Elaine.

Never.

Let's go

inside

and see if you've got it there.

Don't you think that we should have told
your parents that we were coming, dear?

Would you like something to drink?

Excuse

me,

ladies.

Hello, Countess Count.

What a wonderful surprise.

Back early from your trip, are you? Yes,
we are.

My parents are in the other room.

Would you like me to take you to them?

No, we'll see them later.

You don't dance, do you, sir?

Not if I can help it.

May I?

Sir, please.

With pleasure.

Thank you.

Thank you, Fauden. Did you say
something, Gérard?

Hubert, your father.

It'll be all right.

Yes, I love you.

What do you think you are doing?

Get out of here.

I will not.

Don't you realize you are embarrassing
this poor little servant girl?

Servant girl?

Isn't that putting it rather too nicely?

Madame.

That was to be my dress.

It was made with my fabric on my time.

But I never can wear it now, can I? I
mean, it would be ridiculous.

You are nothing but a thief.

Let her go.

Take your hands off me.

I am warning you.

Let her go.

Leave me alone.

Oh, Hubert.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so embarrassed.

Oh, Hubert.

My darling, come with me.

How can you ever forgive me?

Oh, darling.

It's just what you and I think that
matters.

Come through and sit down.

I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you.
It was my fault.

I'm sorry. Sit down.

Oh, he must be exhausted after all that
running.

Sit down. Relax.

Don't worry.

Just forget about it all.

I love you.

I want you.

No, Hubert, please.

I need you so much, my darling. I need
you.

Hubert, I don't love you.

But you will.

You'll learn to.

Tonight, you look so beautiful.

I was so proud of you.

I want you to marry me.

No,

you can't.

I don't want to marry.

Not now. Oh, let it be, my darling.

One day, all of this, this chateau, this
land, everything will be mine.

If you marry me, it will all be yours.

Well, it now.

How generous of you, Hubert.

The land, the title, everything.

Get out of here.

You would actually marry this little
girl. You'd marry this little seamstress

because she makes you feel like a man.

What?

Nobody else ever has.

Have they?

I know.

Because I've had.

The women you've tried with.

You bastard!

Despicable.

I'm ashamed to call you my son.

You're here?

Elaine. We'll go away together now.

Tonight.

Please.

I'm so sorry.

It's all been my fault.

I put Chateau Vicenne behind me, and
finally I arrived in Paris.

The 20 francs is all I have, but as soon
as I get a job... I'm tired of haggling

with you. The rent is 40 francs a month
in advance.

Please, madame, I've been looking all
day.

I'll take the ring.

What?

The ring you're wearing.

I'll take that for one month.

But this is my mother's wedding ring. I
can't let you have that.

Then sleep in the street for all I care.

Jack, it's the same as it was before.

There never was a before.

Barry, I don't believe you. We have a
little argument. Little argument? I told

you next time was the last time. What
are you talking about? All I did was

a drink.

You're lying.

Okay, c 'est fini.

Fine by me.

Hello. Um, don't tell me you are looking
for a place to stay, right?

Uh... Yes, I just arrived.

Oh, you just arrived. I won't say no
more.

Look, you can stay with me. You'll have
to wear it because it's perfectly safe.

Safe for you, maybe, but I could never
trust him. And you won't be able to use

the bathroom. He's turned it into a
darkroom.

Darkroom?

Oh, yes.

I am France's premier photographer,
Jacques Danvers.

My real name is Jack Danvers, and I'm
from Philadelphia.

I'm in Paris to escape all kinds of
prejudice.

And you?

Hélène Junot from Saint -Nazaire.

In Paris to make it take notice.

Okay, okay.

Hélène, I'll charge you 20 francs a
month and purely platonic, brother and

sister all the way.

Jacques,

you have yourself a sister.

Okay, okay.

So what do you do, Ellen?

Theme strip, sales girl.

I worked my aunt's shop until she died.

Someday I want to be a designer.

Someday you will.

Yo, what did I tell you?

Tomatoes, lovely tomatoes.

Bonjour, bonjour. Ça va?

Ça va, ça va bien.

Jean,

when you said you'd take me for dinner,
I didn't know this is what you meant.

Don't you stop it. Just relax.

This is the best food in town.

Listen, wait till you taste my
celebrated salade de Jacques, followed

prize -winning soup de Jacques.

No filet, déjà.

Yes, but for that we have to fight the
dogs off.

See, I've got this wonderful theory
about life, Hélène.

It's nothing unless you've got a little
danger in you.

Some degree. To a precise degree, and
that's what's going to make me think,

Hélène. Ah, bonjour, monsieur. Bonjour,
monsieur. Ça va?

Ça. Mais oui.

Listen, what are you doing to me?

Looking for a job.

Well, you've already done that. Listen,
tomorrow we'll try something different,

right?

Come on, I'll race you there.

What's the matter?

I'm afraid of heights.

You're not going to let something like
that stop you, are you? Heights is

nothing. I've never done this before.

You know, you don't listen to me. Now, I
told you you're a natural. You can do

this standing on your head.

Standing on my head, Jack?

Yes. Now, move out to the edge. The
edge?

Yes. Just go on. Do it. Move out to the
edge. Are you crazy? Just back up out to

the edge. That's all.

Good.

To the edge. Keep going.

I'll tell you when to stop. You're
crazy, Doc. Yes, just move. Go on. Just

it. Yes, that's right. Now, further,
further.

Further?

Exactly. Just do it. It's easy.

I could do it.

All right.

That's it. Keep going.

Go on.

Just not.

Why can't we just do this in a park
somewhere?

All right. Now, stop. Stop. Hold that.

Now, I want you to get in the pose that
we rehearsed.

That's the first one.

Yuck. Come on, danger, remember?

You're safe.

Yes, but you're going to be famous.

I'll be dead.

Just do it.

And when you get around there, the other
poses again.

I don't think they like it.

You said that about almost everybody
who's looked. And you've been wrong

time. You're right.

Jacques, your work is good.

You've got something new to offer.

And everybody who's seen your work
thinks so.

So relax, would you? I can't. I can't.
Look, this is a moment of truth.

I mean, don't you understand?

I didn't just escape from Philadelphia.
I came to Paris because I wanted to do

something worthwhile.

And you're doing it.

Well, thanks for the try.

Helen, look.

Do you know who that is?

It's an original way of taking pictures
of clothes.

It's Odile. Odile. I've seen her in a
thousand fashion magazines. Oh, yeah.

She must be the best designer in Paris.
Yeah, must be. Look, you watch that

woman, because if she likes something,
that's it.

This photographer's an artist, you know.

This is new, my friend.

And it is exciting.

All right.

This girl is terrific.

Absolutely terrific.

Now, let's go and have a glass of
champagne.

Oh, of course. You knew that girl?

Yes. And this is Jacques d 'Anvers.

A pleasure.

You're very talented.

Tell me, are you with an agency?

No. You should be.

I'll be talking to Paris Central in the
morning.

Call Charles before lunch. I'm sure
he'll be very much interested.

Thank you, madam.

I'm not madam.

I'm Odile.

Odile? And you, my dear, you should
never wear white.

Stop it. It's glare.

And you must also never wear dark hair.

But where?

Champagne? Yes.

Champagne.

Is that all?

No. You have a fantastic figure for
clothes. Your proportions are just

What is your name?

Hélène Junot.

Tell me, Sherry, are you a fashion
model?

No. Then a photographer's model?

Well, that was my first time, actually.

But then, what do you do?

I look for work.

I think you should be a fashion model.
And if you're interested, come and see

in my atelier Monday morning.

It's right up the street.

Oh, I am interested. And I know where
that is.

So I'll be there.

Very well.

Bernard, mon cher.

Hélène?

Don't forget... Monday morning.

Mm -hmm.

Jack, we are on our way.

Madame Odile is in the main reception
room. Thank you.

Madame Odile?

Oh, there you are. How lovely to see
you.

Where did you go to work?

If you want me, yes. Well, if I didn't
want you, my dear, you wouldn't be here.

Take your clothes off.

That will do. Thank you.

Now get on the platform, please.

I thought I was to be a model.

Why not?

And then perhaps one day a director. And
later on, who knows?

But it all starts here, my dear. Now, if
I stick you, no histrionic, please.

A discreet ouch will do.

I thought I told you to wear champagne.

Well, I... Never mind.

You can borrow from the storeroom until
you can afford to buy.

And this is going to look absolutely
divine on you, my dear.

Simply divine.

Dear Herr Mueller, I was told by the
French authorities that you might be

to help me.

I pray that you can.

I have sworn to find and to bring to
justice the sadistic Gestapo major who

murdered my mother and was responsible
for the deportation of my brother and

little sister.

I was only 13 at the time, and I never
heard the Nazis' names spoken.

But I shall never forget his cruel face,
which still haunts me in nightmares.

I don't earn much money, but I'm
enclosing what I can, as a retainer, in

hope that you will help me.

You're sincerely, Hélène Junot.

Bonjour.

Hélène, it's showy number five.

This elegant silk cocktail dress is
shown with matching feather hat and a

This is a perfect outfit for
sightseeing, walking, or traveling.

This elegant suit is in brown soire de
fasciné, and it has a contrasting wide

Rue de la Paix.

Here is a beautifully draped cocktail
dress of red pur de soie.

Notice the unusual hat, which is of
Tonkinese design.

Soie de Paris.

For the perfect soiree, be it a
nightclub...

David, I've got a meeting to get to.

Mother, you haven't bought anything yet.

Surely you didn't expect me to. These
clothes are hardly me. You have to

I've managed very well so far.

Tour d 'Agent.

This is a stunning black silk shantung
dinner dress and coat.

The hat is in pink silk to match the
lining of the coat.

Good afternoon.

I'm Helene Jeannot, the director.

My mother, Julie Westfield. I'm David
Westfield.

madame westfield it's a pleasure to have
you here and captain it is

mother uh love number 12 wasn't it then
madame shows excellent taste

unfortunately i've never had time to
have clothes made i need a very active

life i'm in paris right now to address
unesco well i think you'll find that our

clothes don't so much clash with your
lifestyle as perhaps enhance it just a

My words exactly.

Would Madame like to see number 12
again?

Certainly she would.

Wouldn't you, Mother?

David, I'm sure the young lady doesn't
need your help in selling her wares.

Madame, that... Oh, dear, we don't so
much sell to the customer as we help

make their selection.

Very well put.

Cecilia?

Cecilia? Madame, here's number 12.

Cecilia, would you show Madame this out,
please?

Oui, très bien.

Are you free for dinner tonight?

Yes.

Is that a car?

I'll look forward to it.

What's that?

Good evening,

David. You look absolutely beautiful.

Very handsome.

You know, I expected to see you in
uniform.

No, I'm off duty.

Well, what about this afternoon?

Well, it was more or less my lunch hour.

Is the army your profession?

No. Over the years, there have been nine
congressmen, four senators, two

governors. And a part of Jim Patrick.

I'm sorry my mother didn't buy the dress
this afternoon. I did try.

Yes, I know you did.

She appears to me to be a woman who
knows what she wants.

You are, too?

Yes.

Well, perhaps we should look at the
menu. I don't have much time.

Why?

I've been assigned as an advisor in
Vietnam.

We only have a week, and I don't want to
waste one moment on it.

Well, then I'm glad I didn't decide to
be fashionably late.

Yeah, that would have been criminal.

Would you like caviar to start?

You know, I love this caviar.

I knew you would, so do I.

I have a feeling we're very much alike.

Yes, I have a feeling too.

What shall we drink to?

This week This week

I've

always loved France Now I know why

Somewhere in my life, I always knew
there'd be anything like this.

Darling, it's too early to get up.

I just wanted to see if the world looked
any different.

Different?

Yes.

Oh, it does. It looks even more
wonderful.

David.

There's something that... I've got to
tell you.

When I was a child, during the war, I
was raped.

No, I have to tell you this, darling,
because it's important to me.

See, for the first time in my life, I've
realized what love is and how beautiful

it can be.

Oh, my darling.

Take some time off this week.

Oh, yes, I think I can. And we'll spend
every, every minute of it together. Oh,

yes, I'm going to make you so happy.

Well, darling, you already have.

David.

Come back soon, darling.

I don't want to lose you.

You're not going to lose me. We have a
week together.

And then a lifetime.

Please wait There

is

no easy way to do this Don't you dare
fall

in love with anyone else

It's you I'm worried about.

You don't have to worry about me.

David, promise me you'll be careful.

I promise to go to bed early every
night, watch my diet, and try not to get

any fights, even with the enemy.

Oh, darling.

This has been the most wonderful week of
my life.

I should have cooked for you, Ma.

Oh, no, no, thank you.

As a matter of fact, I'm glad you did.

Oh, David. You can't be perfect at
everything.

A package for Hélène Junot? Oui,
mademoiselle is there.

Please, mademoiselle Junot, this is for
you.

Thank you. All right, dear, we can go
and try that on.

We'll expect you to join me for dinner
tomorrow night at nine at my townhouse.

I'm to wait for a reply.

Please return these to the count with my
request.

Yes, mademoiselle. Thank you.

Alain Junon?

This is Julia Westfield.

Oh, hello, Mrs. Westfield.

The letters you wrote to David over the
past six months have been forwarded to

me.

They were with his personal effects.

Effects?

Forgive me, I looked at some of your
letters.

I know you loved him very much.

David... was killed in Vietnam.

So, you're Alain Junot.

I was hoping you might be, as I watched
you approach.

Your problem. I like that.

It's a pleasure to finally meet you,
Hamila.

Please, just go and sit down.

It's here.

Thank you.

Now, there are some new possibilities
about your brother that I thought it

extremely important to talk to you
about.

I have learned that certain former SS
officers have access to secret records,

which I didn't even know existed until
now.

Now, as you can imagine, these men are
extremely reluctant to talk.

There is, unfortunately, only one
stimulus to which they respond.

Money. Of course. How much?

A great deal.

At least 40 ,000 francs.

40 ,000?

I see.

I'm afraid it's the only way to proceed.

Amula, I think I can get you all the
money you need.

Mademoiselle Junot is here.

How do you change your mind?

Thank you for allowing me the luxury.

I hope it will be the first of many.

Did you enjoy the dinner?

Yes, Mr. Burke.

Good.

No, thank you.

Ellen.

Are you romantically involved at the
moment?

No.

I'm pleased.

And surprised.

I don't get involved that easily.

Perhaps more readily in business than
romance?

What do you mean by that?

An arrangement between us.

But you said business.

You see, I'm in Paris almost every
night.

Should we come to an agreement, I want
to spend those nights with you.

And so I'd expect you to live here, in
this house.

In return, you will receive a generous
income, charge accounts at the better

shops, and gifts.

Such...

As this.

Would you allow me?

And these are real.

No more imitations for you.

So long for this moment.

Oh.

Slut.

Have faith, Elin.

God will forgive you for whatever you
have to do.

And whatever happens, remember, my
darling, I love you.

you

I do not receive stolen goods.

These were earned.

Well, they're not too bad.

Not too bad.

But on the other hand... The stones
alone are worth a hundred thousand

I'll give you ten.

Fifteen.

How much do you want?

Forty.

Dear lady, you're mad.

No. Just intelligent.

Twenty.

All right.

But I want your assurance that these and
whatever else I might bring you in the

future will be broken up before you sell
them.

I wouldn't want anyone to recognize
them. Of course. You think I am crazy.

No, I think you're greedy enough to want
a regular supply.

Very well. You have my guarantee.

I hope it'll be enough to get you
started.

Quite enough.

I'll put it to good use, I promise you.

Herr Mueller, what about my little
sister?

I'm afraid that's hopeless.

So many little ones were.

We have no way to say this without
bringing pain.

Slaughtered and forgotten.

What's the matter?

Hey, tell me, what's the matter with
you, huh?

She refuses to practice her piano.

Oh, you refuse to practice the piano,
eh?

Naughty girl.

Well, I tell you what.

If Papa comes with you, will you play
for him?

You will?

Promise? Good.

See, I've got her to practice after all.

Good girl. Come on.

Have your attention, please.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are greatly
privileged to have tonight the world

American composer, Mr. Eric Hovland.

The most wonderful composer.

Of his award winning motion picture
compositions, which will be performed

shortly. Mr. Eric Hovland.

Christian fascinated.

I told you, I love music.

Well, good evening.

I thought you were still abroad.

Hélène, what a delightful surprise.

Good evening, Hubert.

When they told me the family box was
occupied, I assumed it was by you and

mother.

Not you and what is obviously your
current whore.

You bastard.

You are drunk again.

How could you, Elaine?

Why him and not me?

She prefers men, Hubert.

at you for this.

I swear I will.

Shall we enjoy the performance?

Yes.

Take the glasses up.

All right, again, you know what we're
after here. This is going to be a cover.

It'll make both of us famous.

All right.

All right, now let's just be very, very
elegant here.

First, take the drink.

And let's have a little toast. But let's
hold it.

That's the one. Hold it.

All right, now take a hand.

All right, now hold that.

You can't wait to get into the bedroom,
right?

All right, now you know who this man is.
This is your husband.

And you hate him, right?

Okay, so give me hate. Hate.

Now hold that.

Point the gun at me. This direction.

Fire.

That's good. That's good. Hold that.

This woman, she is triumphant, isn't she
yet?

Just a couple more.

This again triumphant.

Farewell, chump.

Tell me, what do you think?

Well, I think a fashion layout for the
story is a great idea, but I think it's

bit too melodramatic for your magazine.

Oh, these photos aren't for the
magazine.

Jack, I thought you were exclusive.

All right, so we're both moonlighting.
Oh, dear, look who care what I do. But

I was your editor and I found out, I'd
fire you. Helen, you know my philosophy.

Live dangerously, it's the only way.

Are you sure you won't take a ride home?

No, I mean, so I said I want to get some
air. Very well.

Good night.

Oh, that's wonderful.

Can you come? Oh, yes, yes.

I was able to learn that there is a

forced labourer named Leclerc who worked
in the rock quarries where they tested

V2s. Now, his tattoo numbers were on
record.

Doctor, Mademoiselle Junot. Hello,
Doctor.

This way, please.

So, I started checking every possibility
that there were still un -repatriated

persons, until finally I found someone
who could be of the same age and whose

tattoo numbers were correct.

It has to be Edmund.

Not necessarily.

There may be another Leclerc, or the
file numbers may be wrong, many things.

He is in the back door. Go ahead,
please.

Open the gate.

Swagger, swagger, swagger, swagger,
swagger, swagger, swagger, swagger.

He is the one and yet her.

You sure?

How long did he live there?

At least since 1945.

The Russians found him in eastern
Austria. They kept him for five years,

then they unloaded him here, where he's
been for ten.

As you can see, he's a true catatonic.

Catatonia. Yes.

What's wrong with him?

He has been hit by a ricochet hair from
Ederfeld.

His leg is broken.

I'll take him back to the kennel.

No, never mind.

It won't be the same again.

I've been back since yesterday.

Oh.

Huber saw this little trinket somewhere
on display

and called my attention to it.

Philippe, I... I made inquiries, as you
would imagine, and they led to a certain

Levantine fence.

Philippe, I want to explain something to
you.

There's no way.

And no need to try.

Pick them up.

Pick them up!

You worked hard for them, didn't you?

For everything I gave you.

Will you marry me?

Oh, Eric.

Oh, yes. Yes, yes.

Not a deal. I think I'm pregnant.

I'll take both you ladies to dinner.

Too bad.

I should have disposed of you that day
in Chartres.

How unfortunate for you that you didn't.
