1
00:01:07,651 --> 00:01:11,113
Why don't you try your luck
at the Chabanais or the Colbert?

2
00:01:11,238 --> 00:01:14,366
Both have made me serious offers.

3
00:01:16,201 --> 00:01:18,704
They've changed hands
since back then.

4
00:01:21,873 --> 00:01:24,835
And didn't the General want
to take over from the baron?

5
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:27,629
In accordance
with his means, of course.

6
00:01:29,339 --> 00:01:31,633
You discussed it with him.

7
00:01:33,385 --> 00:01:37,180
As for Blondin,
he can be very generous.

8
00:01:37,306 --> 00:01:39,850
He likes his girls young, though.

9
00:01:39,975 --> 00:01:42,644
Edgar brought a youngster here
yesterday.

10
00:01:42,769 --> 00:01:45,105
I get the feeling
he's quite attached to her.

11
00:01:45,230 --> 00:01:47,691
He mentioned her again earlier,
believe it or not.

12
00:01:50,819 --> 00:01:52,487
And I'm here.

13
00:01:53,905 --> 00:01:55,991
You and I have a history together.

14
00:01:58,201 --> 00:02:00,287
You're not afraid of difficult situations.

15
00:02:05,876 --> 00:02:08,545
I'll need to discuss it
with Marguerite, but...

16
00:02:09,588 --> 00:02:12,758
if you work hard,
we need only fine you...

17
00:02:16,928 --> 00:02:19,806
30 francs for today's absence.

18
00:02:21,141 --> 00:02:22,851
You can go now.

19
00:02:27,439 --> 00:02:29,107
Oh, yes. I forgot.

20
00:02:30,484 --> 00:02:34,071
I've promised your room to Valentine.
I'm sorry.

21
00:03:43,682 --> 00:03:45,559
Come on. We'll go round the back.

22
00:03:49,479 --> 00:03:51,356
- Angèle...
- It doesn't matter.

23
00:03:51,481 --> 00:03:54,818
- These things happen.
- Please, Angèle.

24
00:03:54,943 --> 00:03:58,155
- Think about us.
- All right. Now, go on.

25
00:03:59,531 --> 00:04:01,533
We'll be seeing each other soon.

26
00:04:02,742 --> 00:04:05,704
Go on.
We can talk about it next time.

27
00:05:48,765 --> 00:05:50,475
It doesn't matter.

28
00:05:51,893 --> 00:05:56,064
Honestly, it doesn't matter.
These things happen.

29
00:07:02,172 --> 00:07:04,382
- Calm down.
- Louise, Louise, Louise!

30
00:07:05,258 --> 00:07:07,135
Calm down!

31
00:07:07,260 --> 00:07:09,596
- That's it. That's it.
- Damn it!

32
00:07:10,513 --> 00:07:12,766
That's it. That's it.

33
00:07:22,734 --> 00:07:24,194
Shh, my sweet.

34
00:07:40,043 --> 00:07:41,878
It's over.

35
00:07:42,003 --> 00:07:43,463
It's over.

36
00:07:49,761 --> 00:07:51,221
There.

37
00:08:18,039 --> 00:08:23,336
Half her face, her neck,
her shoulder, part of her scalp.

38
00:08:24,379 --> 00:08:27,298
And the hand she put up
to protect herself.

39
00:08:27,424 --> 00:08:30,427
Have the police found the sadist?

40
00:08:30,552 --> 00:08:34,097
Why aren't the cops here?
Aren't whores worth bothering about?

41
00:08:34,222 --> 00:08:36,891
We'll handle the police.
Don't worry, Bertha.

42
00:08:37,016 --> 00:08:42,063
I'd rather hang than be turned
into a fairground attraction overnight.

43
00:08:42,188 --> 00:08:45,316
- Calm down, Angèle. You're quite safe.
- Try telling that to Louise.

44
00:08:45,442 --> 00:08:47,819
I remember his face
and no one will open the door to him.

45
00:08:47,944 --> 00:08:51,322
- No one will open the door to him!
- An accomplice, then.

46
00:08:51,448 --> 00:08:54,909
It's our competitors getting their revenge
for us staying open during the siege.

47
00:08:55,034 --> 00:08:56,661
And they won't stop at that.

48
00:08:56,786 --> 00:08:59,998
That madman didn't have it in
for the brothel or for any of you.

49
00:09:00,123 --> 00:09:02,000
Just for Louise.

50
00:09:02,125 --> 00:09:05,003
- What do you know?
- What do I know?

51
00:09:05,128 --> 00:09:07,964
Before sprinkling her,
he called out her name.

52
00:09:10,175 --> 00:09:13,678
Well, until the police collar him,
I'm sticking to regulars.

53
00:09:14,888 --> 00:09:16,139
Yes.

54
00:09:16,264 --> 00:09:19,267
- Give me that.
- Me, too.

55
00:09:26,107 --> 00:09:27,984
They're panicking.
You need to calm them down.

56
00:09:28,109 --> 00:09:29,778
Who let this man in?

57
00:09:33,990 --> 00:09:37,869
So you deal with it,
and don't mention Lupin.

58
00:09:46,628 --> 00:09:49,214
Have you told the police
about our virgin?

59
00:09:49,339 --> 00:09:52,634
They've got the address of the hotel
her fiancé's staying at.

60
00:09:53,176 --> 00:09:55,678
You might have told me
she had a fiancé.

61
00:09:58,515 --> 00:10:02,602
If Edgar's got anything to do with it,
he'll be flogging her to the Chabanais.

62
00:10:06,606 --> 00:10:08,566
Leave Lupin to me.

63
00:10:10,902 --> 00:10:13,780
Unless you'd rather
he came back here to burn us all?

64
00:10:16,616 --> 00:10:18,451
Blondin had it delivered.

65
00:10:27,043 --> 00:10:29,546
2,000 francs? What for?

66
00:10:32,841 --> 00:10:34,926
To deflower the girl.

67
00:11:03,454 --> 00:11:06,124
I just wanted to talk to her.

68
00:11:06,249 --> 00:11:08,334
But they wanted to keep me there.

69
00:11:08,459 --> 00:11:10,879
- No one touched me, I promise.
- Don't make promises.

70
00:11:11,004 --> 00:11:12,463
But it's the truth.

71
00:11:12,589 --> 00:11:14,382
I was scared you'd reject me
if I told you.

72
00:11:14,507 --> 00:11:17,552
- You were scared of me?
- I've never told anyone.

73
00:11:17,677 --> 00:11:20,138
If you'd told me,
we'd never have come. Never!

74
00:11:21,389 --> 00:11:25,184
But you only have one mother.
That's what you said.

75
00:11:25,310 --> 00:11:27,896
So she's still your mother?
Do you want to go back to her?

76
00:11:28,021 --> 00:11:30,523
- Feel free. Go on.
- No.

77
00:11:30,648 --> 00:11:32,650
I just want to be with you.

78
00:11:34,611 --> 00:11:36,446
I want to go home.

79
00:11:37,572 --> 00:11:42,035
Sir...
We're going to have to take the girl.

80
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,371
- Unless you want to settle her debt?
- What debt?

81
00:11:45,496 --> 00:11:49,417
Mademoiselle incurred a 124-franc debt
at the Paradis where she worked.

82
00:11:49,542 --> 00:11:53,171
She has absconded
from her commitment to repay it.

83
00:11:54,380 --> 00:11:57,091
You're going to have
to come with us, Mademoiselle.

84
00:11:57,216 --> 00:11:59,093
And you wanted me
to forget all about it.

85
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,651
You could have been dead by now,

86
00:12:14,776 --> 00:12:17,111
flung into a common grave
along with 100 other corpses.

87
00:12:17,236 --> 00:12:19,989
Do you hear me?

88
00:12:20,114 --> 00:12:22,075
Let me go!

89
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,285
Let me go!

90
00:12:24,410 --> 00:12:26,162
Let me go!

91
00:12:42,011 --> 00:12:43,638
PUBLIC WOMEN

92
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,894
You might not understand now.

93
00:12:52,188 --> 00:12:54,607
No woman dreams
of entering this profession.

94
00:12:56,275 --> 00:12:58,528
But it is a real profession.

95
00:12:59,862 --> 00:13:04,450
And it's possible to do well at it
and retain your self-respect.

96
00:13:31,310 --> 00:13:36,357
And if you have any trouble
with clients or the other girls,

97
00:13:36,482 --> 00:13:39,235
you can always come
and knock on my door.

98
00:13:41,237 --> 00:13:43,072
Inspector Angelus.

99
00:13:46,242 --> 00:13:48,453
These gentlemen will see you out.

100
00:14:02,925 --> 00:14:05,720
That story about the coffee mill,

101
00:14:07,638 --> 00:14:10,975
did you really have the power
to have my man shot?

102
00:14:48,262 --> 00:14:51,641
- I must give you your things back, Véra.
- Presents aren't for taking back.

103
00:14:55,353 --> 00:14:57,688
Let's just say
they're for lending, then.

104
00:14:59,690 --> 00:15:02,735
Don't you want to know
how Louise is?

105
00:15:04,070 --> 00:15:07,698
I bumped into Dr. Perrier.
He gave me permission to see her.

106
00:15:08,866 --> 00:15:10,743
He's put her on morphine.

107
00:15:12,578 --> 00:15:14,580
Where's the boss?

108
00:15:17,125 --> 00:15:19,293
She's been shut in her cage
since last night.

109
00:15:20,628 --> 00:15:22,421
She should be there, too.

110
00:15:25,049 --> 00:15:28,302
To see for herself
how she protects her girls.

111
00:15:37,019 --> 00:15:39,689
- Hello, Louise.
- Véra.

112
00:15:43,359 --> 00:15:45,027
Hi, girls.

113
00:15:45,153 --> 00:15:47,738
It's good of you to come.

114
00:15:47,864 --> 00:15:50,449
- Can I kiss you, Louison?
- Of course.

115
00:16:05,548 --> 00:16:08,634
Is it true, then?
Were the doors locked last night?

116
00:16:08,759 --> 00:16:11,554
What on earth did the rich do
with their spunk?

117
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:14,390
Don't tell me
they were forced to fuck their wives!

118
00:16:24,150 --> 00:16:26,485
I'd love to have seen the boss's face.

119
00:16:27,987 --> 00:16:30,031
Oh, she's keeping her wits about her.

120
00:16:30,156 --> 00:16:32,241
She's sold
our entire stock of underwear.

121
00:16:33,784 --> 00:16:37,288
So the men can console themselves
of our absence.

122
00:16:43,794 --> 00:16:46,005
Aristide!
No one will believe it.

123
00:16:46,130 --> 00:16:49,050
No one will dare question
Louise's version of events.

124
00:16:49,175 --> 00:16:50,885
Maybe.

125
00:16:51,010 --> 00:16:53,346
So do you promise
you'll go and see Louise?

126
00:16:53,471 --> 00:16:55,223
At any rate, as things stand...

127
00:16:55,348 --> 00:16:58,684
- Will you go and see Louise?
- Leave me now, please.

128
00:17:04,565 --> 00:17:07,652
Hortense! Forget Véra for two minutes
and think about the shop!

129
00:17:07,777 --> 00:17:10,154
- I can't pay Lupin.
- I told you to call the cops.

130
00:17:10,279 --> 00:17:12,740
No, it's too dangerous
and too costly.

131
00:17:12,865 --> 00:17:15,910
Brise Caboche won't be enough
to get rid of Lupin for us.

132
00:17:23,251 --> 00:17:24,710
I'm listening...

133
00:17:50,152 --> 00:17:52,780
I've saved up quite a bit, you know.

134
00:17:53,572 --> 00:17:56,617
What with that
plus a small inheritance from my aunt,

135
00:17:56,742 --> 00:18:00,079
I have enough to get rid of Lupin
and to invest.

136
00:18:01,706 --> 00:18:03,791
You want to invest in my brothel?

137
00:18:05,668 --> 00:18:08,129
In our brothel.

138
00:18:08,254 --> 00:18:11,590
The girls play us off against one another
and so do some of the clients.

139
00:18:12,925 --> 00:18:15,886
Together,
we can keep them in check.

140
00:18:17,763 --> 00:18:19,557
So you want half?

141
00:18:23,853 --> 00:18:25,730
I've got the means.

142
00:18:38,034 --> 00:18:40,036
Thank you, Marguerite.

143
00:18:41,704 --> 00:18:43,956
Here's what we're going to do.

144
00:18:45,124 --> 00:18:48,336
As a security measure,
we'll monitor clients more closely

145
00:18:48,461 --> 00:18:50,671
and ban the girls from going out.

146
00:18:52,882 --> 00:18:55,009
The girls will never agree to that.

147
00:18:56,385 --> 00:18:58,846
That way, we can extend
our opening hours

148
00:18:58,971 --> 00:19:01,182
and recuperate the money we need.

149
00:19:05,603 --> 00:19:07,772
Meanwhile,

150
00:19:07,897 --> 00:19:11,442
I promise to give some thought
to your generous proposal.

151
00:19:14,779 --> 00:19:18,074
Can I count on you
to talk to the girls before this evening?

152
00:19:26,165 --> 00:19:28,667
Can I count on you
to go and see Louise?

153
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,844
Take her a Suze.

154
00:19:38,969 --> 00:19:43,224
For Louise. She'd like that.

155
00:19:59,657 --> 00:20:01,742
Will the pain go away?

156
00:20:03,202 --> 00:20:07,373
I'm going leave you in peace to rest,
but first we need to talk.

157
00:20:11,001 --> 00:20:15,881
That bastard, are you sure
you've never seen him before?

158
00:20:17,550 --> 00:20:20,803
Shouldn't I be having
this conversation with the police?

159
00:20:23,806 --> 00:20:27,852
- Do you know who it was?
- Of course I don't.

160
00:20:30,062 --> 00:20:33,065
What's all this talk about Lupin?

161
00:20:33,190 --> 00:20:36,110
You know the boss.
She drives a hard bargain.

162
00:20:36,235 --> 00:20:40,072
Lupin thinks he's smart
but she's got him eating out of her hand.

163
00:20:40,948 --> 00:20:44,326
Tell me, how is it going
with your man at the moment?

164
00:20:44,452 --> 00:20:46,245
It's hopeless.

165
00:20:51,375 --> 00:20:54,712
- You have told him, haven't you?
- Of course I have.

166
00:21:01,802 --> 00:21:04,263
Perhaps what's happened to you
suits him.

167
00:21:04,388 --> 00:21:06,223
Aristide has never hit me,
I swear.

168
00:21:06,348 --> 00:21:08,476
Perhaps it was a friend of his, then,

169
00:21:09,768 --> 00:21:12,271
who wanted to help,
seeing how unhappy he was

170
00:21:12,396 --> 00:21:14,356
about not having you to himself.

171
00:21:14,482 --> 00:21:15,733
No.

172
00:21:21,864 --> 00:21:23,199
Yes.

173
00:21:25,493 --> 00:21:29,830
After what's happened,
you can forget about your boyfriend.

174
00:21:29,955 --> 00:21:32,124
It's over and you know it.

175
00:21:33,250 --> 00:21:36,003
On the other hand,
work and the girls,

176
00:21:36,128 --> 00:21:38,214
that's still possible.

177
00:21:40,174 --> 00:21:42,510
You could stay on here as a maid.

178
00:21:42,635 --> 00:21:46,347
You'd earn less money, but still,
you wouldn't be alone.

179
00:21:49,308 --> 00:21:51,560
If it was Aristide,
that would make life simple.

180
00:21:51,685 --> 00:21:53,604
There'd be nothing
to be afraid of anymore.

181
00:21:53,729 --> 00:21:56,148
The girls would gradually
get over it.

182
00:21:59,527 --> 00:22:02,196
You'd even get a bonus.

183
00:22:02,321 --> 00:22:06,450
- What does Hortense say?
- She was the one who suggested it.

184
00:22:11,038 --> 00:22:13,958
Then I'd rather hear it from her.

185
00:22:14,083 --> 00:22:15,584
Fine.

186
00:22:27,638 --> 00:22:29,640
I've just been given this.

187
00:22:30,224 --> 00:22:32,393
‟Summons from the Home Office.

188
00:22:32,518 --> 00:22:35,771
Madame Gaillac is requested
by Inspector Torcy

189
00:22:35,896 --> 00:22:40,442
in the context of his investigation
into the murder of the baron du Plessis

190
00:22:40,568 --> 00:22:45,072
to appear on November 15, 1871

191
00:22:45,197 --> 00:22:48,367
at 36 Quai des Orfèvres
in Inspector Torcy's office

192
00:22:48,492 --> 00:22:49,952
for an interview.

193
00:22:50,077 --> 00:22:53,247
Yours sincerely—”

194
00:22:54,123 --> 00:22:56,208
Tell Véra to meet me in the hall.

195
00:23:14,476 --> 00:23:17,229
We can do one another
a great deal of harm.

196
00:23:20,065 --> 00:23:21,817
We are strong women.

197
00:23:27,865 --> 00:23:32,119
I'm not leading the inquiry, you know.
I'm just here as a witness.

198
00:23:32,244 --> 00:23:35,372
Véra, I had nothing to do
with the baron's murder.

199
00:23:44,506 --> 00:23:46,508
Think of your daughter.

200
00:23:47,509 --> 00:23:50,262
If she finds out
what you're doing, who you are,

201
00:23:50,387 --> 00:23:52,514
can you imagine the harm
that would do her?

202
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,350
Madame Gaillac, this way.

203
00:24:07,446 --> 00:24:11,659
The truth is, this murder has put me
on the verge of financial ruin.

204
00:24:11,784 --> 00:24:13,869
The baron had made me
a generous offer

205
00:24:13,994 --> 00:24:15,954
to settle Mademoiselle Derville's debt.

206
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,123
According to the baron's lawyer,

207
00:24:18,248 --> 00:24:21,168
you turned down the offer
at the last moment before relenting.

208
00:24:22,878 --> 00:24:24,838
Why the sudden change of heart?

209
00:24:26,465 --> 00:24:29,551
It was a business tactic.

210
00:24:29,677 --> 00:24:32,179
So you were trying to obtain
the best possible price?

211
00:24:32,304 --> 00:24:33,639
Precisely.

212
00:24:33,764 --> 00:24:36,183
I don't suppose
you sell your girls by weight.

213
00:24:37,142 --> 00:24:39,395
It's was Mademoiselle Derville's
decision to leave.

214
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,064
But you stood to pocket the proceeds.

215
00:24:42,189 --> 00:24:44,608
Tell me what sort of man
the baron was.

216
00:24:48,153 --> 00:24:49,613
Most endearing.

217
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,033
Gentle.

218
00:24:53,158 --> 00:24:54,868
Very cultivated, too.

219
00:24:59,873 --> 00:25:02,876
I have here a note claiming
he had sodomite fantasies.

220
00:25:05,421 --> 00:25:08,132
I can assure you,
Monsieur du Plessis liked women.

221
00:25:08,257 --> 00:25:11,635
The information comes
from a colleague at the Colbert.

222
00:25:16,306 --> 00:25:19,435
Did you know
he frequented the Colbert?

223
00:25:31,405 --> 00:25:33,449
Do you know Jules Steiner?

224
00:25:40,205 --> 00:25:42,291
Yes, of course.
He's a client of mine.

225
00:25:43,500 --> 00:25:45,878
How did Monsieur Steiner
get on with the baron?

226
00:25:47,921 --> 00:25:50,007
Chief Inspector,

227
00:25:50,132 --> 00:25:53,177
I know nothing about politics
but all the same...

228
00:25:53,302 --> 00:25:55,888
it's part of my job
to be diplomatic.

229
00:25:56,013 --> 00:26:00,434
I made sure two such deadly rivals
met as rarely as possible.

230
00:26:02,019 --> 00:26:05,731
Everyone knows they both aspire
to a government position.

231
00:26:08,066 --> 00:26:10,194
Did you ever take
Monsieur Steiner to your room?

232
00:26:13,322 --> 00:26:15,449
The baron didn't want me
to see Monsieur Steiner.

233
00:26:15,574 --> 00:26:17,868
But you did so anyway.

234
00:26:21,079 --> 00:26:23,749
What do you want to know?

235
00:26:23,874 --> 00:26:25,959
Whether he was well hung?

236
00:26:26,835 --> 00:26:29,630
I think he was in papermaking.

237
00:26:33,300 --> 00:26:36,512
He's an Israelite
but he keeps quiet about it.

238
00:26:36,637 --> 00:26:39,890
I want you to remain attentive
to anything said in your establishment

239
00:26:40,015 --> 00:26:42,267
about this affair.

240
00:26:45,395 --> 00:26:49,399
It is an honor for me
to be of service to the law, Monsieur.

241
00:27:15,884 --> 00:27:17,469
The murder happened barely 50 meters

242
00:27:17,594 --> 00:27:19,972
from the mansion house
he wanted to give you.

243
00:27:22,182 --> 00:27:26,061
The murderer must have found out
what the baron was doing that evening.

244
00:27:27,396 --> 00:27:29,481
Who else knew about that mansion?

245
00:27:35,946 --> 00:27:38,073
I don't know. You.

246
00:27:38,198 --> 00:27:39,616
Véra!

247
00:27:43,328 --> 00:27:47,165
We were only summoned to the ministry
because it was a political crime.

248
00:27:51,003 --> 00:27:53,422
What do you know about politics?

249
00:27:56,758 --> 00:28:00,095
Enough to know that
if your baron had entered parliament,

250
00:28:00,220 --> 00:28:02,931
the Republicans
would have been obliged to leave it.

251
00:28:07,144 --> 00:28:10,272
As if he was killed
over a ministerial seat!

252
00:28:10,981 --> 00:28:13,483
Steiner is a refugee.

253
00:28:15,235 --> 00:28:16,695
I like him.

254
00:28:18,614 --> 00:28:22,993
And even once he's been guillotined,
I will think it was you who had him killed.

255
00:28:24,786 --> 00:28:26,914
And why would I have done that?

256
00:28:30,417 --> 00:28:33,170
Do you want me to remind you
of the evening of my party?

257
00:28:37,507 --> 00:28:39,885
Do you want me
to repeat every word I said?

258
00:28:41,762 --> 00:28:43,221
I didn't kill him.

259
00:28:43,347 --> 00:28:45,807
There's no accounting for
what unhappiness can make you do.

260
00:28:53,690 --> 00:28:55,233
I didn't kill him.

261
00:29:08,163 --> 00:29:11,625
Do you want to get torn to shreds
by the rabble?

262
00:29:11,750 --> 00:29:13,460
You're in Paris now, pet.

263
00:29:13,585 --> 00:29:16,588
It's a city which thirsts for blood
the way Normandy thirsts for cow's milk.

264
00:29:16,713 --> 00:29:20,300
- We explained that to her.
- I'm glad to hear it. Valentine?

265
00:29:20,425 --> 00:29:22,678
- Yes?
- Look after her, will you?

266
00:29:26,139 --> 00:29:27,766
Of course.

267
00:29:27,891 --> 00:29:30,978
Stay with her and make sure
she's ready for tonight.

268
00:29:33,271 --> 00:29:35,857
Pretty place you've got here.
Can we have a look round?

269
00:29:35,983 --> 00:29:37,609
Sorry. This is a luxury establishment.

270
00:29:37,734 --> 00:29:40,320
- We brought back one of your girls.
- Sorry.

271
00:29:40,445 --> 00:29:42,364
- Just a quick look. We won't touch.
- Here.

272
00:29:42,489 --> 00:29:44,366
Hortense Gaillac,
the mistress of the house.

273
00:29:45,367 --> 00:29:49,037
These gentlemen wish to be rewarded
for bringing back the girl.

274
00:29:49,162 --> 00:29:50,497
Right?

275
00:29:50,622 --> 00:29:55,669
I'll mention you to Chief Inspector Torcy
next time I see him.

276
00:29:56,420 --> 00:29:59,339
We have just this instant
returned from the Home Office.

277
00:30:08,890 --> 00:30:11,268
Don't stay there.
I'll go up and see.

278
00:30:18,942 --> 00:30:20,986
I hear the cops have been here.

279
00:30:22,279 --> 00:30:25,782
- Yes, they brought Rose back.
- What about my complaint?

280
00:30:28,493 --> 00:30:30,620
Marguerite told me
you'd recognize the guy.

281
00:30:40,964 --> 00:30:42,716
Look at me.

282
00:30:44,843 --> 00:30:46,303
Look at me!

283
00:30:54,102 --> 00:30:57,606
Before I end up a tramp in the streets,
frightening the dogs,

284
00:30:57,731 --> 00:30:59,816
do you know what I'm going to do?

285
00:31:00,734 --> 00:31:03,195
Go to the police
and tell them everything.

286
00:31:04,321 --> 00:31:05,655
Like what?

287
00:31:08,033 --> 00:31:09,409
About Lupin.

288
00:31:10,911 --> 00:31:14,372
I know he made it possible
for us to open during the siege.

289
00:31:16,500 --> 00:31:19,211
And since you don't have the means
to thank him properly,

290
00:31:19,336 --> 00:31:22,464
he's sending his boys round
to remind you of your debt.

291
00:31:22,589 --> 00:31:25,175
I'm scared of him too, you know.

292
00:31:25,300 --> 00:31:27,052
That's just as well.

293
00:31:28,470 --> 00:31:30,305
If you inform on him...

294
00:31:33,183 --> 00:31:34,893
What, backfire on me?

295
00:31:39,022 --> 00:31:42,901
Then it's just as well
my face is already burnt to a frazzle.

296
00:31:46,446 --> 00:31:49,032
Corentin Javier.
I'm a friend of Lupin's.

297
00:31:49,157 --> 00:31:51,201
If it's about the money,
it's the Madam you want.

298
00:31:51,326 --> 00:31:54,913
- But you're a bit early.
- It's nothing to do with the money.

299
00:31:55,455 --> 00:31:58,250
Gaston mentioned
a Sapphic extravaganza,

300
00:31:58,917 --> 00:32:01,253
two women tickling
one another's fancy.

301
00:32:01,378 --> 00:32:03,839
I'll need to talk
to the mistress of the house.

302
00:32:05,006 --> 00:32:07,843
Get me the Negress
and a nice pale one.

303
00:32:13,473 --> 00:32:15,892
I see you entertain high society here.

304
00:32:16,017 --> 00:32:19,062
- But all cocks are the same, eh?
- Not really, no.

305
00:32:25,694 --> 00:32:28,446
Commander
of the Legion of Honour.

306
00:32:28,572 --> 00:32:30,407
And it looks new.

307
00:32:31,366 --> 00:32:32,868
Minister?

308
00:32:33,743 --> 00:32:35,704
Captain of industry?

309
00:32:35,829 --> 00:32:37,330
Diplomat?

310
00:32:40,959 --> 00:32:44,629
You have to have bumped off
a few Communards to get one of these.

311
00:32:44,754 --> 00:32:48,508
To think they took Paris
just so they could take the Parisian girls!

312
00:32:48,633 --> 00:32:50,260
I'll be right back.

313
00:33:06,359 --> 00:33:10,363
Is it true what the girls are saying?
Are we grounded?

314
00:33:11,531 --> 00:33:13,283
It's a security measure.

315
00:33:13,408 --> 00:33:15,911
Our friend gets her face burnt off
and we're to be imprisoned?

316
00:33:16,036 --> 00:33:18,955
Couldn't you just show
some solidarity for once?

317
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,166
There you go again.

318
00:33:21,291 --> 00:33:24,753
- Taking me for a fool.
- Can't you act responsibly?

319
00:33:24,878 --> 00:33:27,005
Close that door!

320
00:33:27,130 --> 00:33:30,175
- A friend of Lupin's is here pestering.
- What does he want?

321
00:33:30,300 --> 00:33:32,969
To watch Linda and another girl
turning each other on.

322
00:33:33,094 --> 00:33:34,387
I don't know. Send Angèle.

323
00:33:34,512 --> 00:33:36,306
If you don't stop
entertaining Communards,

324
00:33:36,431 --> 00:33:38,475
we're going to lose everything.

325
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,101
I'd like to see you cut Lupin off.

326
00:33:40,227 --> 00:33:42,520
You should have accepted
the baron's money.

327
00:33:42,646 --> 00:33:46,399
Véra's right. You should take
whatever money's going.

328
00:33:46,524 --> 00:33:51,655
- Tell them to keep it short.
- Wait. I fancy doing it with Linda.

329
00:33:55,408 --> 00:33:57,702
Why not come and spy on us?

330
00:35:19,159 --> 00:35:22,037
Skin and bones

331
00:35:22,162 --> 00:35:25,915
Dressed in rags

332
00:35:27,042 --> 00:35:33,840
Feverish and at an impasse

333
00:35:34,424 --> 00:35:39,804
Jean Misère fell to the ground

334
00:35:40,347 --> 00:35:43,433
Pain, he said

335
00:35:43,558 --> 00:35:46,561
Aren't you tired of it?

336
00:35:49,439 --> 00:35:50,815
Oh, but

337
00:35:50,940 --> 00:35:54,319
Oh, but

338
00:35:54,444 --> 00:35:58,740
Will it never end?

339
00:36:00,158 --> 00:36:04,954
No stars and no friends

340
00:36:05,955 --> 00:36:10,710
The square was deserted
and laid to waste

341
00:36:11,795 --> 00:36:17,133
Had it been dry,
I would have slept

342
00:36:17,258 --> 00:36:21,930
But it was sleeting

343
00:36:23,973 --> 00:36:26,017
Oh, but

344
00:36:26,142 --> 00:36:28,812
Oh, but

345
00:36:44,119 --> 00:36:46,329
You filthy anarchist!

346
00:36:55,505 --> 00:36:56,673
Gentlemen!

347
00:36:58,133 --> 00:37:00,009
- Sorry.
- Sorry, ladies.

348
00:37:00,135 --> 00:37:04,472
I beg your permission to eject
a Communard from your establishment.

349
00:37:38,047 --> 00:37:41,092
Read it out loud.
I understand better when I can hear it.

350
00:37:44,095 --> 00:37:45,972
Well, go on, then.

351
00:37:50,477 --> 00:37:51,978
‟I, Hortense Gaillac,

352
00:37:52,103 --> 00:37:56,149
undertake to employ Louise Diaz
as a chambermaid for two years...”

353
00:37:56,274 --> 00:37:58,067
Put five years.

354
00:38:02,322 --> 00:38:04,407
If I cross it out,
it will no longer be invalid.

355
00:38:04,532 --> 00:38:06,493
Add a one, then.

356
00:38:07,785 --> 00:38:08,828
What?

357
00:38:08,953 --> 00:38:11,831
Before the two.
That will make it 12.

358
00:38:13,666 --> 00:38:17,504
- But it's written in words, Louise.
- Add a word then.

359
00:38:36,231 --> 00:38:37,732
There.

360
00:38:43,863 --> 00:38:45,323
For a duration of 12 years.

361
00:38:45,448 --> 00:38:47,283
FOR A DURATION
OF ONE TO TWO YEARS

362
00:38:47,408 --> 00:38:49,702
Will that do you?

363
00:39:02,590 --> 00:39:05,885
I'm counting on you
to pull the wool over the cops' eyes.

364
00:39:07,387 --> 00:39:11,182
- I won't have Lupin's name mentioned.
- Just add it.

365
00:39:16,229 --> 00:39:17,772
- Well?
- Wait, the document.

366
00:39:17,897 --> 00:39:20,817
- It's there. Read it through carefully.
- There's nothing to be done.

367
00:39:20,942 --> 00:39:23,820
They're under Véra's spell.
They won't come downstairs.

368
00:39:24,821 --> 00:39:27,824
- What about Rose?
- Valentine is with her.

369
00:39:29,701 --> 00:39:32,120
- She'll save us.
- How?

370
00:39:32,245 --> 00:39:34,372
I'll pay Lupin back tomorrow morning.

371
00:40:35,642 --> 00:40:37,101
Want some?

372
00:41:02,877 --> 00:41:04,837
Is Edgar your boyfriend?

373
00:41:08,841 --> 00:41:10,885
You could do worse, you know.

374
00:41:12,762 --> 00:41:15,765
- Will what I say get back to the matron?
- Yes.

375
00:41:18,601 --> 00:41:21,104
Is it true, then, you're still a virgin?

376
00:41:22,188 --> 00:41:24,816
But you have made love before?

377
00:41:29,195 --> 00:41:32,198
Are you asking
if I've ever handled a cock?

378
00:41:42,083 --> 00:41:44,544
I had no choice, either,
the first time.

379
00:41:47,380 --> 00:41:49,757
You're not sanctimonious, are you?

380
00:41:50,967 --> 00:41:53,386
I grew up in a convent.

381
00:42:11,195 --> 00:42:13,865
When it first went in,
I thought I was going to burst.

382
00:42:16,409 --> 00:42:19,036
I even thought
I'd have to sew myself back up.

383
00:42:19,579 --> 00:42:23,666
But no.
Nature is well designed, you know.

384
00:42:23,791 --> 00:42:27,670
Put a lot of saliva down there
and it will slide in without you noticing.

385
00:42:29,922 --> 00:42:32,175
Now we'd better get you ready.

386
00:42:32,300 --> 00:42:34,552
The matron wants me to help you.

387
00:42:34,677 --> 00:42:37,305
She trusts me
to make you beautiful.

388
00:42:37,430 --> 00:42:40,558
Once we've found you what you need,
they'll all come groveling.

389
00:42:41,642 --> 00:42:43,102
Come on.

390
00:42:46,147 --> 00:42:49,859
If we stick together,
Hortense will have to give in.

391
00:42:49,984 --> 00:42:51,778
Is there such a thing
as welfare for whores?

392
00:42:51,903 --> 00:42:53,362
We'll just have to go on strike.

393
00:42:53,488 --> 00:42:55,656
- Are we setting up our own commune?
- We are indeed.

394
00:42:55,782 --> 00:42:58,701
The Paris Commune is over.
Long live the Paradis Commune!

395
00:42:58,826 --> 00:43:02,747
But be careful. Either we're all in
or none of us are. Let's vote.

396
00:43:12,924 --> 00:43:17,094
- What? Can't I vote how I like?
- Indeed you can. Now, come on.

397
00:43:24,268 --> 00:43:27,563
Well? See how pretty you look?

398
00:43:31,359 --> 00:43:33,945
Wait. Just one more thing.

399
00:43:51,087 --> 00:43:52,255
Ten francs.

400
00:43:56,133 --> 00:43:58,177
- Rather expensive, isn't it?
- Véra.

401
00:44:02,515 --> 00:44:06,060
Do these earrings go
with this necklace?

402
00:44:06,936 --> 00:44:09,981
Marguerite told me to keep it simple.

403
00:44:11,107 --> 00:44:12,984
You're right. They don't match.

404
00:44:13,109 --> 00:44:16,654
What about the ones
the tall, slim girl was wearing yesterday?

405
00:44:16,779 --> 00:44:17,947
Aglaé?

406
00:44:21,117 --> 00:44:25,997
Yes, her silver earrings
would suit you. I'll go and see.

407
00:44:26,122 --> 00:44:28,958
You can at least try them on.
I'll be right back.

408
00:44:51,314 --> 00:44:52,773
Here we go.

409
00:44:53,816 --> 00:44:55,818
But where are the girls?

410
00:45:06,746 --> 00:45:08,915
- Good evening.
- Good evening.

411
00:45:10,041 --> 00:45:13,252
Thank you
for responding to my invitation.

412
00:45:14,253 --> 00:45:17,590
The baron du Plessis
would have been touched

413
00:45:18,424 --> 00:45:22,053
to see you gathered here today
in his honor.

414
00:45:26,557 --> 00:45:28,184
What the hell's going on?

415
00:45:28,309 --> 00:45:30,603
We've closed the cunt factory.

416
00:45:32,313 --> 00:45:34,732
Are you out of your minds?

417
00:45:34,857 --> 00:45:37,318
We're in so much debt,
we'll be giving blow jobs until 1900.

418
00:45:37,443 --> 00:45:39,278
Choose your side, Valentine.

419
00:45:39,403 --> 00:45:41,656
No one's forcing you
to regain your dignity.

420
00:45:41,781 --> 00:45:43,699
You're using us
to settle your differences.

421
00:45:43,824 --> 00:45:45,868
- It's too easy.
- On the contrary.

422
00:45:45,993 --> 00:45:48,788
I know what the boss is up to.
That's why we have to fight.

423
00:45:48,913 --> 00:45:52,917
- Is young Rose in the union?
- She certainly is.

424
00:45:53,834 --> 00:45:57,213
A virgin on the market would put an end
to the strike before it's even started.

425
00:46:00,466 --> 00:46:03,177
I'll go and tell her the good news, then.

426
00:46:05,346 --> 00:46:07,264
His death was so brutal,

427
00:46:09,558 --> 00:46:11,268
so cruel,

428
00:46:12,353 --> 00:46:14,063
so...

429
00:46:16,565 --> 00:46:20,861
The man did so much to save
France from chaos and barbarism,

430
00:46:20,987 --> 00:46:24,907
and yet he owed his death
to the cruel act of a petty thief.

431
00:46:27,743 --> 00:46:30,663
The reason
you are all gathered here

432
00:46:30,788 --> 00:46:33,916
is not to celebrate his life
as a high-ranking civil servant,

433
00:46:35,626 --> 00:46:40,089
but to honor him
as a friend and lover.

434
00:46:40,214 --> 00:46:44,385
That is why I have decided tonight

435
00:46:44,510 --> 00:46:47,805
to give you a very special evening.

436
00:46:49,140 --> 00:46:52,685
While your usual partners
are confined to their rooms

437
00:46:52,810 --> 00:46:56,272
for an obligatory period
of mourning,

438
00:46:56,397 --> 00:47:01,485
I have decided to pay tribute
to the baron du Plessis's love of women

439
00:47:01,610 --> 00:47:06,240
by presenting you with the most perfect
expression of femininity,

440
00:47:06,365 --> 00:47:08,784
a young virgin.

441
00:47:23,966 --> 00:47:26,427
Leave me alone.

442
00:47:34,810 --> 00:47:37,480
Liar! Do you want to get me killed?

443
00:47:46,572 --> 00:47:48,449
Take her downstairs.

444
00:47:53,079 --> 00:47:55,289
Relax so I don't have to force it in.

445
00:47:57,666 --> 00:48:00,586
Rose, I don't want to hurt you.

446
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:06,008
There.

447
00:48:21,899 --> 00:48:24,151
Your hymen is perfect.

448
00:48:24,276 --> 00:48:26,695
Let us begin, gentlemen.
Fire away.

449
00:48:26,821 --> 00:48:29,907
- I'll start with 100.
- Very good. Any advance on 200?

450
00:48:30,032 --> 00:48:31,534
- 300.
- 400.

451
00:48:31,659 --> 00:48:34,245
- 500?
- Yes, 500.

452
00:48:34,370 --> 00:48:35,830
- 600.
- 700.

453
00:48:35,955 --> 00:48:38,124
700 on my right.
Come on, gentlemen.

454
00:48:38,249 --> 00:48:40,417
- 800.
- 1,000. I'm saying 1,000.

455
00:48:40,543 --> 00:48:43,462
A generous bid, my friend.

456
00:48:43,587 --> 00:48:46,090
- 1,100.
- Yes, 1,100 at the back.

457
00:48:46,215 --> 00:48:48,634
- 1,200.
- 1,200 over here.

458
00:48:48,759 --> 00:48:52,638
- 1,400.
- 1,400. Going once...

459
00:48:52,763 --> 00:48:53,806
1,500.

460
00:48:53,931 --> 00:48:55,474
- 1,600.
- 1,600 at the back.

461
00:48:55,599 --> 00:48:58,018
- 1,800.
- 1,800, Monsieur van der Meer.

462
00:48:58,144 --> 00:48:59,812
- 1,900.
- 1,900, Monsieur Blondin.

463
00:48:59,937 --> 00:49:01,021
2,000 over here.

464
00:49:01,147 --> 00:49:03,107
- 2,100.
- 2,100. Marvelous.

465
00:49:03,232 --> 00:49:04,900
- 2,500.
- 2,500.

466
00:49:05,025 --> 00:49:07,361
- 3,000.
- 3,000, Monsieur Blondin. 3,000.

467
00:49:07,486 --> 00:49:09,280
- 3,000 going once, twice...
- 3,200.

468
00:49:09,405 --> 00:49:11,490
3,200! Wonderful.

469
00:49:11,615 --> 00:49:13,576
- 3,200 going once...
- 3,500.

470
00:49:13,701 --> 00:49:17,538
3,500, Monsieur Blondin.
3,500, going once, twice...

471
00:49:17,663 --> 00:49:19,373
Look at this treasure.

472
00:49:19,498 --> 00:49:21,333
This silky hair.

473
00:49:22,543 --> 00:49:24,920
These subtle curves,

474
00:49:26,088 --> 00:49:29,592
heralding a pleasure

475
00:49:31,051 --> 00:49:35,973
that only one of you
will be lucky enough to experience.

476
00:49:36,098 --> 00:49:38,767
- 3,800!
- 3,800, Monsieur van der Meer.

477
00:49:38,893 --> 00:49:40,644
- 3,800, going once...
- 4,500.

478
00:49:40,769 --> 00:49:46,150
4,500, Monsieur Blondin.
4,500, going once, twice...

479
00:49:47,318 --> 00:49:48,986
5,000.

480
00:50:04,251 --> 00:50:07,129
Good evening, sister.
Pray continue, gentlemen.

481
00:50:13,969 --> 00:50:16,180
Where were we?

482
00:50:16,305 --> 00:50:18,766
5,000 from your brother.

483
00:50:19,683 --> 00:50:22,353
Of course.
5,000 for Monsieur Gaillac.

484
00:50:22,478 --> 00:50:24,480
- 5,200.
- 5,200, Monsieur Blondin.

485
00:50:24,605 --> 00:50:26,190
- 5,200, going once...
- 6,000.

486
00:50:27,107 --> 00:50:28,901
6,000, Monsieur Gaillac.

487
00:50:32,279 --> 00:50:33,405
6,500!

488
00:50:34,240 --> 00:50:37,159
6,500, going once, twice...

489
00:50:37,284 --> 00:50:39,787
Sold to Monsieur Blondin for 6,500.

490
00:51:01,308 --> 00:51:02,393
Gaston!

491
00:51:37,052 --> 00:51:39,722
Gaston, good timing.

492
00:51:43,350 --> 00:51:45,561
I've rounded it up
to cover the interest.

493
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:51,900
I'm sorry about your friend.
He was too drunk.

494
00:51:55,779 --> 00:51:58,282
Aren't you sick of getting
other people to pay for you?

495
00:51:58,407 --> 00:51:59,616
Left-hand drawer.

496
00:51:59,742 --> 00:52:02,536
- Tonight it's your turn to get burnt.
- Left-hand drawer!

497
00:52:06,290 --> 00:52:07,750
Here we are.

498
00:52:10,419 --> 00:52:12,546
How is the girl?

499
00:52:17,259 --> 00:52:19,345
Don't make me
have to do this again.

500
00:52:21,764 --> 00:52:23,515
All right?

501
00:52:35,069 --> 00:52:36,153
There, there.

502
00:52:47,039 --> 00:52:50,000
Gently, sweetheart.
We've got all night.

503
00:53:10,229 --> 00:53:13,315
I'm going to make
a real woman of you.

504
00:53:24,868 --> 00:53:26,787
The virgin is making a run for it!

505
00:53:36,296 --> 00:53:38,132
Can you hear me, Monsieur Blondin?

506
00:54:07,077 --> 00:54:08,620
Give me my money back.

507
00:54:08,745 --> 00:54:11,748
- Lay a finger on me and I'll kill you.
- Give me a moment with the girl.

508
00:54:11,874 --> 00:54:13,083
Bitch!

509
00:54:14,126 --> 00:54:15,711
Rest assured, Monsieur Blondin.

510
00:54:15,836 --> 00:54:19,465
The Paradis knows how to teach
its girls to respect their clients.

511
00:54:19,590 --> 00:54:21,049
No!

00:54:32,769 --> 00:54:35,355
Open this door. Open it!

515
00:54:35,481 --> 00:54:37,357
Pierre! Pierre!

00:54:38,275 --> 00:54:39,735
Open it!
