Hurry, you don't want
to miss the king, do you?

The king, king Ferdinand, he's coming.

What's the matter with you frenchies?
Why don't you salute the new king?

♪ Alleluia, Alleluia ♪

♪ Glory, glory, god will have
the strength forever. ♪

Your majesty, general Savary has arrived
with messages from the emperor Napoleon.

- He hopes for an audience.
- We will receive him.

Let us hope he brings news
that the French troops are leaving.

I never approved of allowing
them to use our country as a...

battlefield in their
quarrels with the British.

His excellency
general Savary, the Duke of Rovigo.

You are welcome general.

Your majesty, I've arrived just in time
to add my voice to the multitude.

I, I hope that you come
with good news from the emperor.

Good news and bad.

It seems that their majesties,
your illustrious father and mother...

feel that their abdication
was somewhat forced.

Forced? Why...

Why, my father was only too happy to allow
the burden to drop from his shoulders.

They have appealed to my
sovereign, the emperor Napoleon.

As you know, all that my sovereign the
emperor desires is peace in Europe.

The emperor feels that if your majesty
would consent to a conference...

it might be settled amicably.

I, I shall be most honored
to receive his majesty.

Unfortunately, at the present moment
the emperor cannot come to Madrid.

But if your majesty would meet
him halfway say, in Bayonne...

Yes. Yes, of course.

You may tell his majesty that I
shall come, I shall be most pleased to come.

I shall report immediately
to his majesty the emperor.

- Your majesty, if I may presume...
- The people await your majesty's appearance.

Yes, yes of course.

They shall have food and wine
for their week of festivities.

His majesty has graciously decreed
that there shall be a week of festivities...

with food and wine for all.

Nina Maria.

- Let me pass Etienne, I have to change.
- You've changed already.

- That's a very bad joke, let me go.
- I shall see you tonight?

- Perhaps.
- Perhaps?

- I haven't time to talk now.
- But Nina Maria...

That Etienne...

Don't know he's
going to be so hard get rid of.

It's the flowers señorita.

- He saw them.
- Who sent them?

- The Marquis De Melito.
- The Marquis?

- Oh, he's coming here tonight.
- Señorita?

Now I know I have to get rid of Etienne.

Who is it? Just a minute.

Etienne...

You can't put me off this way,
you're coming with me tonight.

Now Etienne, try to understand, I'm tired.

Who is he? Who is he?
I demand to know my successor's name.

Your successor?

Oh, you know no one could take your place.

Why, you're charming, very delightful.

It's just that I'm tired.

You can't deceive me,
who sent you those flowers?

Can't a man send me flowers
without my going out with him?

If you go out with
anyone tonight, I'll kill him.

Etienne, Etienne, try to be sensible.
Go on home, perhaps tomorrow night.

This is going to be settled tonight.

Oh señorita, I'm afraid he mean it.

Oh, if we could only
keep the Marquis from coming here.

It would be terrible if
anything happens to him.

Nothing will happen to the
Marquis, I promise you that.

If he wants to kill anyone,
it will not be the Marquis.

But what can you do señorita?

I just have to make him
think it's someone in there.

Come on.

Señores, Nina Maria.

- He has a lovely voice, hasn't he?
- And he sounds so happy.

Oh, don't Lola, I had to do it.
I simply had to protect the Marquis.

The señorita's dressing room is right there.

See who it is.

- Señor.
- Don Diego Manrique de Lara, at your service.

- Come out of that door, quickly.
- With pleasure.

- What happened?
- Didn't you hear me singing to you?

I mean what happened with the French officer?

Oh that, he just glared and walked out.

You haven't a minute to lose.
You must get out of here immediately.

OH, but I just came.

You're a nice young man,
you've a lovely voice.

Did you like it?

Yes, but listen, I'm trying to talk sense
to you, You don't seem to understand.

You've got to get out of
here as quickly as possible.

You don't expect me to leave after you
kissed me? I'm yours from now on.

You want to know why I kissed you?

No, it doesn't matter.
You did and I liked it.

I kissed you to get rid of that French
officer and that's the only reason.

- Oh, really?
- Yes.

Well, you didn't succeed, he's still there.

Matter of fact, there's 3 of them.

- I think you'd better try it again, eh?
- Please, go out the other way.

- That man is an expert marksman.
- What of it?

But you haven't a chance against
him, he thinks you're his successor.

He thinks you're here to try
and get me away from him.

Well, that's what you
want him to think, isn't it?

Oh, yes.

Well, he certainly won't think so if I go out
alone. Come on, let's show him that his right.

All right.

- Good night Lola.
- Good night señorita.

Goodbye señor.

Monsieur...

I am captain Audouy
representing captain Dubois.

He feels he is been
grossly insulted, he demands satisfaction..

Did he say what would satisfy him?

- Name your weapons, name the place, at dawn.
- Dawn?

Oh, couldn't we make it a little later?

Your seconds can find me at this address.

Well...

Now that we're rid of them,
where should we go for supper?

- Where you live?
- Oh, just around the corner.

- I, I mean, where you come from?
- Oh, Valencia.

Well, you go back to
Valencia just as fast as you can.

- Oh, no.
- Oh, I know, I know.

You cannot fight that man, he'd kill you.

Your coach?

Another one?

This is one I don't want to get rid of.

- Home.
- Yes.

- Señorita...
- Please don't fight that duel.

Well, did you find out anything?

- A little.
- Good.

These French officers are so sure of
themselves it isn't hard to make them talk.

Difficult thing is
getting rid of them afterward.

This last one was the worst of all
but he was also the most talkative.

It seems Napoleon is
sending 30,000 more troops.

30,000?

That'll make 100,000
French soldiers in Spain.

What the officers been told?
Why do they think they're here?

It's always the same thing.

They're here to protect us
in case the English invade the continent.

- No talk of war with us?
- No, no, only with the English.

I'm sorry. That's all they seem to know.

I'm convinced that's all
any of them know in Madrid.

Nina Maria,

I'm going to send you on an important mission,
the most important one you ever taken.

I've arranged for a professional
appearance for you at Bayonne...

where the conference between
Ferdinand and Napoleon is to be held.

You mean Ferdinand is planning on
leaving the country at a time like this?

He and his counselors believe that
this conference is a friendly one.

That Napoleon's only
interest is the welfare of Spain.

Needless to say, I don't agree.

Napoleon wants to get control of Europe.

The only thing stands in his way
is Ferdinand and his popularity.

If he can get rid of Ferdinand...

he can take Spain.

Of course these are
only my suspicions, I have no proof.

Well, what about Paris?
What word you hear from them?

Well, 2 of our best agents there
have just been thrown in prison.

French are very efficient counterspies.

That's why I'm sending you.

I want you to mingle with
the French officers at Bayonne.

Those closest to Napoleon and find out
what Napoleon is really planning to do.

- When you want me to start?
- Tomorrow morning.

Then if we find this conference
is merely a trap as I fear it is...

we'll be able to stop Ferdinand
before he crosses into France.

- And I'll do the best I can.
- I know you will.

You will stop at the inn
of the golden fleece in Vitoria.

Just this side of the border.

One of our agents there will
give you any further news.

- Very well.
- Are you sure you can leave tomorrow?

Well, I'll have to make some excuse
at the cafe if that's what you mean.

I mean is there no one to hold you here?

- No man?
- Oh, that. No.

Nina Maria, to a man in my
position you're a gift from heaven.

Never any moods, hysterics,
never any entanglements.

I can't imagine any man as
exciting as this service to my country.

Dri, driver,

- You think we'll reach Vitoria by tonight?
- We'll try, señorita.

Thanks.

Pedro, should I go and help
the mules with my whistle?

Yes.

- Now what?
- Bandits.

Bandits?

- But I only see one.
- He's a lookout for the rest.

- Oh drive on, hurry, hurry.
- Come on Carlito.

Wait, don't shoot, don't shoot.
Is this the coach of señorita Azara?

- You?
- Ah, greetings.

Now, would you mind telling
him to point that the other way?

Serve you right if you did get shot.

Scaring people to death like that.
It's all right Pedro, put it down.

- Sí señorita.
- We thought you were a bandit.

- Oh, no wonder you gave me such a chase.
- What are you doing here anyway?

Well, I came to tell you
not to worry about me.

You see, I didn't fight that duel after all.
As a matter of fact, I overslept.

- You come all this way just to tell me that?
- I had to.

When went to cafe last night, you'd already
left and I knew you'd be anxious about me.

Oh, that was very kind of you.
Very, very thoughtful. Thank you very much.

- All right Pedro.
- Wait a minute.

You're not going to run away from me again?

I have to, I've a very important
engagement in Bayonne, very important.

- Have you any idea how beautiful you are?
- Yes, drive on Pedro, drive on.

All right Pedro...

and don't worry about any bandits,
I'll be riding right here by your side.

Well, thank you very much but
I don't want to trouble you.

Trouble me? You can't help it.

You've troubled me from the
first time I set eyes on you.

I picked him to get rid of that French
officer, now how am I going to get rid of him?

- You don't mind my riding here, do you?
- The road is free, you can do as you like.

I might be able to
entertain you on your trip.

Oh no, thank you. Was just going to sleep.

- Splendid, I'll sing you to sleep.
- We'll play for you.

How about a lullaby? Can you play that?

No, no, if you must sing,
make it something with spirit.

- Something gay, something lively.
- I thought you wanted to sleep.

Oh, I can sleep through anything.
I was just thinking of the mules.

care for the song in the air ♪

- Buenos días señor.
- Buenos días.

This way.

Señorita.

Thank you so much for
making the trip seem shorter.

Oh, it was far too short for me.

Now, won't you be kind and
have dinner with me tonight?

Sorry I can't, goodbye.

You know, you're a very beautiful girl,
charming, alluring but you have one bad habit.

- Yes, what?
- Why, you're always saying goodbye.

Very well then,
I won't say goodbye, I'll just go.

This way señorita.

Pablo, Pablo, hurry with the baggage.

This señorita is the other room.

Now, is there anything
else the señorita desires?

Oh yes, I'd like a tub with
plenty of hot water please.

Sí. Right away. Pelela, Cristina.
Quick, the lady desires a bath.

- The tub, right away señorita.
- Thank you.

- Señorita...
- Oh, just a moment.

- I have a message for you.
- What is it?

The king has started,
he left Madrid this morning.

This morning?

But it's been arranged for
him to stop here in Vitoria.

If you get any word, you are to send it here.

We can keep him then from going any farther.

- Well, how will I get word to you?
- Go to the marketplace in Bayonne.

There will be a man
selling chickens and livestock.

He will have carrier pigeons there for
you, he will know you if you say, Vitoria.

Vitoria?

Hurry, hurry, you've always got the time to
sleep. Come, here. Put the tub right there.

There. Here. Right here.

All right, go get more water.
Come, more water.

Ah, Pablo?

- Yes, señorita?
- Did you bring up everything, that was all?

That was all señorita.

- Thank you very much.
- Thank you.

Pablo, the señor
wishes a bath too, get him a tub.

And what would the señorita like for dinner?

Oh dinner, yes. Yes, I think I'd like
some fish, some salad, Valencia stew...

in about a half an hour...

Leave it to me, I will
have a perfect dinner for you.

- Thank you. Oh, just a minute.
- Yes, señorita?

One thing more, the most important of all.
I want a quiet, secluded table in a corner.

- Alone.
- I understand, alone.

- The poor señor, he will be so disappointed.
- I can't help it. I don't dare encourage him.

He might follow us to Bayonne.
Look how far he's already come on a kiss.

- Señor?
- Yes, come in.

And what would the señor like for dinner?

Well, you'd better ask
señorita what she would like.

Oh, the señorita's already ordered.

Well, whatever she
wants is all right with me.

- Is the señorita with you?
- Well, yes and no.

You know what I mean.

But the señorita said she wishes to be alone.

- Alone? Alone?
- Yes, alone.

Oh yes, of course, alone. You know, alone.

- That's right.
- Oh alone, yes.

Oh, hello.

Well, just in time.

- I'm afraid there's some mistake.
- Oh no, everything is ready.

- But I ordered a table alone.
- Well, we are alone.

There isn't another soul except...

Well, those, those troubadours there.

Shall I send them away?

That's better. Oh, excuse me.

Señorita...

- That's not what I ordered.
- Oh no, I took the liberty of adding this.

- Pablo.
- What is it?

Flaming egg omelet, my own recipe.

- But I don't see any flame.
- Oh, wait.

- Frederico, Lee, Leon.
- Sí, hombre.

This is the supreme moment.

Ready?

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Taste? Oh, oh, oh, it's very hot.

What does it taste like?

- More.
- More, good.

- Want anything more?
- No, thank you.

- More food?
- No.

Wine? Isn't there anything?

No, nothing, thank you.

- Well.
- Oh, you're not going in now?

- Well, I thought I'd take a little walk.
- Oh splendid, I'll walk with you.

- Was everything satisfactory this evening?
- Yes, thank you, quite good.

Oh, look. Jasmine.

- It's sweet and fragrant.
- It's like the rest of Spain.

- Waits until the night to come to life.
- Lovely night, isn't it?

Flowers, stars, music...

Oh, you poor darling.

How would you like to go through that
every time you needed a new pair of shoes?

Well, at least he doesn't have
to take them off every night.

- Oh, Pedro.
- Yes señorita?

I'd like to get an early
start tomorrow morning.

- Yes, señorita.
- About 5 o'clock then?

Yes, señorita.

- All right, good night.
- Good night señorita.

Good night darling, you better
try and get some sleep now.

Are you coming with us señor?

No. No, you'll have to be
our protector from now on.

Señor is far too
important, far too busy a man...

to be wasting his time
following us around the country.

I didn't say a word.

Now you listen to me...

you're a very charming, very amusing young
man but you are not going with me to Bayonne.

You mean, you could send me home,
put me out of your life so easily?

I'm afraid I could.

Oh, now, wait, wait.
It's much too lovely a night to go to sleep.

- Let's sit out here and talk for a while.
- Sit?

Oh yes. Here, it's lovely.
Come on, right here. There you are.

- Comfortable?
- Yes/.

Now, wait a minute, I'll
give you a nice, soft cushion.

- Here, you lean against that, how's that?
- Oh, that's wonderful.

Tell me, what do you do when you're not
following young women around the country?

Oh, I don't follow young
women around the country.

- No?
- No, just you.

Oh, well, I mean aside from that.

Well, my family left me a little money
so I travel around and amuse myself.

That satisfy you?
Is that all you want of life?

It was.

Till I met you.

Well, now you're not going
to try to get romantic here?

Why not?

What's wrong with this place? Why, it's
one of the most romantic spots in the world.

Listen to that song.

- What is it?
- It's Italian song, don't you know it?

No, lovely though.

What more could you want?
This place is full of romance.

Why, it's, it's like Venice.

- Venice?
- It is Venice.

Look at that moon,
where could you find a moon like that?

And look up there,
you see the dome of St. Mark's?

The one with the pigeons?

- No, I don't see a thing.
- Of course not, you got your eyes open.

Close them.

Now you see it?

No, I don't see the dome but
I just heard one of the pigeons.,

Gondolier, take us to the grand canal.

Now we're pushing off.

Do you hear the lapping of the water
against the sides of the gondola?

- Do you feel the motion of the boat?
- Yes.

Do you, feel the sea breeze?

- Now where are we?
- Right back in the barnyard.

Oh no, we're in Venice.

- Now don't you believe in Venice?

Now don't you believe this is the

- Very nice.
- Nice? Nice? Is that all you can say?

Why, you should be overwhelmed.
You should be swooning in my arms.

- Yes, but I don't feel swoony.
- Well, perhaps I better sing it again.

Oh, no, no. No please.

You see, you see, I'm not the only
one, think we'd better get out of here.

- You awakened the whole place.
- Now, wait, wait.

You can't tell me you
weren't a little moved by my song.

- I saw it in your eyes.
- Well, yes I was.

- I knew it.
- Just once.

- Well, I was wondering.

- Yes?
- I guess I better not tell you.

- Oh no, come on, come on please.
- Well, I was wondering.

- Yes?
- I wonder if you were going to make it.

Oh wait, you're the most discouraging person.

Goodbye.

Oh, but you're not going to
leave me here stranded in Vitoria?

But I have to.

Honestly, when am I going to see you again?

Honestly, you go back to Madrid...

and when I return from Bayonne
maybe I won't be so discouraging.

- Well Lola, how's that for a start?
- Señorita...

That Don Diego, I thought he
was going to spoil everything.

Don't worry about him.

He'll not trouble me
after tonight, I saw to that.

Well, she certainly
trained her guns on you colonel.

Oh, nonsense.

- Well, I must be going.
- Going? So soon?

Nothing but work for an adjutant.

But, colonel...

your hat.

- Oh yes?
- Shall I get it for you sir?

No no. No, I'll pick it up myself.

Good night gentlemen.

Oh major...

why don't you stay
a while and enjoy yourself?

- Thank you colonel.
- Gentlemen.

Good night sir.

New hat, new uniform.
Hasn't been a colonel very long Lola.

- When he arrives you slip out quietly.
- Sí señorita.

Colonel de Rougemont's
compliments to the señorita.

- And may I...
- Oh, come in.

Señorita.

Forgive me for having run
off with your hat, was stupid of me.

- Not at all.
- You're not angry?

I'm honored.

Then I'm going to tell
you the truth, won't you sit down?

I took it deliberately, I wanted to see you.

Well.

I was so terrified tonight. You know, this
is the first time I've ever played in France.

And you were so gracious. You helped me
through an ordeal and I wanted to thank you.

No one could've guessed you were
nervous señorita, you were delightful.

Oh, do you think so? It's so hard to
tell, everything is so different here.

Tell me, were those the right songs?

Is it the sort
of entertainment they enjoy in Bayonne?

I know I enjoyed it, I can't answer for the
rest of Bayonne, I've just come here myself.

- From Paris?
- No, unfortunately just Bordeaux.

Bordeaux? Oh, but that's just as exciting.
Isn't that where the emperor Napoleon is?

- Yes.
- Oh, did you see him?

Well, as a matter of fact, I've
just been made one of his aides.

May I touch you?

Oh, I can't tell you what this means to me.,
if you only knew how I felt about Napoleon.

I hope you can learn to feel just
as warmly about one of his aides.

- So sorry, will you excuse me?
- Of course.

How lovely.

- And this note, señorita.
- Thank you.

The gentleman told me it was
urgent, I should wait for an answer.

- Well, would you excuse me?
- Of course.

Thank you.

Tell the gentleman I decline his kind offer.

Just someone wanting
me to have supper with him.

I should ask you to have supper with me but
unfortunately, I have urgent business that...

Oh, that doesn't mean you
have to go to Bordeaux?

Oh no, I shall be here for some time.
At least until after the conference.

- Conference?
- With your own king Ferdinand.

He's on his way here from Madrid.

- Oh, is he?
- Yes.

But a conference, that sounds so serious.
I hope that doesn't mean trouble.

Is just awful if anything like that
happened after I'd made my debut in France.

Why, they might even send me back home.

We can't allow anything like that to occur.

As a matter of fact we hope it'll bring about
a closer alliance between the 2 countries.

I can think of nothing more pleasant than a
close alliance between France and Spain.

I agree, In fact I think we
should set an example ourselves.

Do you think that would help
international relationships?

- Tremendously.
- Then I suppose we should consider our duty.

- Well, shall we start with dinner sometime?
- When?

Shall we say...

- Ah, what were you saying?
- How about...

This is dreadful, please forgive me.

- The gentleman said...
- The same gentleman?

- Yes.
- Tell him I gave him his answer, no.

No more flowers and no more messages.

- That's a very persistent young man.
- Yes, isn't he?

- Will you dine with me tomorrow at 1?
- I'd love it.

They say there's a delightful cafe.

Wouldn't be more pleasant dining tete-à-tete?

Say, at your quarters?

I was going to suggest
that later, may I call for you?

I think it'd be a little
more discreet if I came by myself.

I'm at the Chateau Neuf, Rue Dasinalle.
Goodbye señorita.

- Goodbye.
- Until tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

- Oh, colonel.
- Yes?

Your hat.

Thank you.

Señorita.

Oh, I couldn't help it Gianina Mia,
I didn't know I was jealous until...

Apples, fresh red apples, apples.

Apples.

Yes mademoiselle, can I help you?
Pigeons, ducks, some delicious rabbits.

Rabbits? Are they nice?

- Well, these pigeons are they fresh?
- Oh fine, lovely bird mademoiselle.

They told me at Vitoria
you had good birds here.

- Vitoria?
- Yes, Vitoria.

Have you been in Spain recently mademoiselle?

Yes, I stopped at the inn of
the Golden Fleece just 2 nights ago.

This is a particularly fine bird.

Plump, tender, look.

- The king will reach Vitoria tonight.
- Tonight?

They have persuaded
him to stay there until he gets some...

further assurance
of good will from Napoleon...

but when he gets it, he is
determined to continue on his way.

I hope to have some word of my own
that will stop him before that happens.

Let us pray that you will señorita.

Will one be enough señorita?

Oh, perhaps you'd better let me have two
just in case of something unexpected.

I'll let you pick them out,
you know which one is the best.

- Well, why not take these two?
- All right.

These are excellent birds and
I assure you they'll go right to the spot.

Well, good day señor.

Lola, have we go everything?
We have about a half hour left.

- Let me try another one.
- Here's one, here.

Lola, take a carriage and go home
with those things, I want to get some air.

Sí señorita.

Oh I, I, I beg your pardon.
I was just trying on some hats.

Very becoming.

- I thought you weren't speaking to me.
- I wasn't.

Oh, forgive me.

- The man will be back in a moment.
- I wasn't, but...

- I am now.
- You mean you've forgiven me?

- What did it?
- That hat.

- Does monsieur desire the hat?
- Keep it for me.

I want to have it framed.

Flowers madam? Flowers for the lady monsieur?

- May I buy you some flowers?
- Oh, I think you might.

Anything but, roses.

- Violets, primroses, Jasmine.
- Jasmine would be nice.

- Jasmine please.
- Oui.

- Merci.
- Thank you.

Oh, what you doing here?

I had some shopping to do and thought
I'd take a walk around, see the town.

Come on, let me show you the sights.

- Are there any?
- Are there any?

Why, on my right is one of the
most famous buildings in Bayonne.

- So?
- You see that balcony up there?

- Yes.
- And that open window?

Well, in that very room is where
Don Diego spent that night of torture...

when he thought his
Gianina had thrown him down.

- Funny, I don't see any tablet.
- Oh, they knew he wouldn't like that.

- You see, he was a very modest man.
- Are you sure is Don Diego?

Oh yes. Why, they even have the bed he tossed
in, the chairs he broke in his anguish.

Why, there are even
some of his remains there.

- Remains?
- The hair he pulled out.

Strawberries, strawberries.

- Nice fresh strawberries for mademoiselle?
- Oh, aren't they luscious?

You like some? There you are.

Oh, just a minute. I'll get you your change.

All right.

- They're good.
- Aren't they?

- Chestnuts monsieur?
- Chestnuts?

- Want some?
- About a half-dozen.

- I'll tell you what we'll do.
- What?

We'll get a bottle of wine and some cheese and
we'll go down to the river and have lunch, eh?

I'd love it but I can't.
I have an engagement.

- With the colonel?
- Yes.

- I thought so.
- Oh no, don't act like that.

After all, I'm in France and my
audience is made up of French officers...

I have to be nice to them.

- Your chestnuts monsieur.
- Thank you.

I don't like to see a good Spaniard
making a fuss over the French.

I, I didn't realize you
were such a good patriot.

I didn't realize it myself until now.

Colonel de Rougemont is a very
important man, can do a lot for me.

Colonel de Rougemont never did anything
for anyone without them paying for it.

- Oh, I found out all about him.
- Monsieur, monsieur.

- Your change monsieur.
- Thank you, here you are.

Oh, thank you monsieur.

Well, at least you don't
have to go off this minute.

- No.
- Let's see the rest of the town.

Oh, we can't walk along
the streets like this eating things.

Why not? People who
know you will think it's charming.

- How about the people who don't know me?
- They'll wish they did.

There you are, not a chestnut left.

- Have you any more?
- I got just one.

Oh, but it's not for you.

- Come on, sit down.
- All right.

Don't pay any attention
to them, they'll go away.

- Lovely, isn't it?
- But it's not Spain.

No, no, it's not Spain.

- What's that?
- Oh, that.

Well, that's an old medallion my father
gave my mother the day they were married.

I remember when I was a little girl begging
my mother to let me play with it but...

she never take it off.

- Look, my mother and father.
- They're lovely.

- All I have left.
- What happened?

Our hacienda was in direct line of attack
when the French invaded Spain 20 years ago.

I should think that would make you
feel very bitterly toward the French.

Oh no, no, that was a long time ago.

Look.

Well, is that any way
to talk to a lady? Go on, go on.

He wants another chestnut, give him one.

Oh no, I got one more left, he's
not going to get it, is for you. Here.

Go on, eat it before he sees you.

Oh, it's no use, you don't
fool him. Here, come on.

There.

That's all, now go on, run away.
I haven't any more, see? All gone.

No, that was my last
one, honest, honest it was.

Oh no, got one more. Here.

- Oh, look, look, it's gone.
- Oh, you?

You're laughing, haven't you any heart?

- Does it hurt?
- Of course it hurts.

Look, he's probably eating
the end of my finger right now.

Oh look, it even scratched.

- There isn't much feeling there.
- All right.

- That better?
- A little. Oh, but it isn't well yet.

I like it. Oh, I mean the song.

Go on, sing it, makes me forget the pain.

Gianina.

- Napoleon.
- Vive I'empereur.

- Vive I'empereur.
- Napoleon?

- I must go.
- Go?

- Oh yes, my engagement is getting late.
- Nina Maria, don't go to that man.

- But I must, you don't understand.
- If I ask you not to?

- Please I, I can't explain.
- This isn't just jealousy.

Nina Maria, I'm not thinking of myself.
Don't go please, I beg of you.

Nothing will come between us, I promise you.

Here. Take this, as a sign of my love...

And with it, my whole heart.

Try to understand and believe in me, please.

- Are my things laid out?
- Sí, señorita, but...

But what?

- I'm afraid something terrible is happened.
- What is it?

A soldier brought this letter a few
moments ago, from colonel de Rougemont.

Colonel de Rougemont?

Beg your forgiveness, but due
to unexpected developments...

must postpone our delightful tete-à-tete...

4 or 5 days.

I know.

It's Ferdinand's refusal to come
any further that's caused all this.

4 or 5 days.

- Do you suppose...
- What señorita?

That'd be just time enough...

for de Rougemont to reach Vitoria
with Napoleon's message and get back.

Oh señorita, if you
could only see that message.

I don't have to see it, I know what
will be in it, a lot of empty promises.

Anything to get our king into France.

What I want to know is...

What are Napoleon's orders in case
Ferdinand doesn't believe that message.

In case he refuses to come?

Lola, I'm going to keep that engagement.

Oh, señorita...

And if de Rougemont
doesn't expect me so much the better.

- Colonel de Rougemont?
- Yes but...

Tell him señorita Azara is arrived.

But, señorita, the colonel is not here.

Not here? Oh, that's curious.

- You're expecting him?
- Yes señorita, he said he be back.

Yes, well then, I'll just wait, thank you.

But señorita I...

If I had known the señorita was coming
I should've had the place more orderly.

- Oh, it's quite all right, don't bother.
- Is there anything you would like?

- No.
- A little wine?

No, nothing, thank you, thank you.

Duval, Duval...

- What's the matter with you Duval?
- Yes sir?

Get my equipment together.
I will start as soon as...

You, señorita?

You seem surprised, had you forgotten?

Oh no, but I sent you a note, to your hotel.

Oh? Well, I was out shopping.

What was it? What did it say?

I had to ask you to postpone our engagement.

- Postpone it?
- Can you forgive me?

Something unexpected is happened...

the emperor ordered me to go to
Vitoria to take a message to your king.

I must escort him into France.

Well, I suppose since it's my
own king, I'll, I'll have to forgive you.

Oh, it's sweet of you to
understand but it's only a postponement.

I'll be back in 4 or 5 days at the most
and then perhaps, we can continue...

- Unless something else unexpected happens?
- Nothing else unexpected can happen.

I promise you that.

Duval. My orderly will
take you back to your hotel.

- Oh, you're not leaving this minute?
- I'm waiting for some dispatches.

I must be ready to start when they come.

Then I'll...

I'll just wait here and say goodbye to you.

- At your order sir.
- Ready?

Yes, sir.

- Duval, you might open that door a little.
- Yes sir.

- That was beautiful.
- Did you like it?

I like everything about you.

Your voice, your hair, your lips.

Perhaps I'd better go.

If you only knew how I'd looked
forward to having you here alone.

- Yes, it would've been nice, wouldn't it?
- It will be nice.

- Yes, but sometimes when the mood is broken.
- Oh Nina Maria, don't say that.

You're making it very difficult for me to go.

- Dispatches colonel.
- Any orders sir?

- Has the escort arrived?
- Be here presently sir.

Thank you captain.

- I suppose that means you must go now.
- Yes.

- I'm sorry.
- Well...

Wouldn't it be,
Oh here, let me help you with that.

Thanks.

These, I should hate them.

- They're really coming between us.
- Nothing can come between us Nina Maria.

Promise me that you'll
meet me here when I return.

I promise.

Nina Maria.

- I must go.
- Yes, of course.

Can you forgive me if I let
Duval take you back to your hotel?

Certainly, I understand.

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

- Did you see him señorita?
- Yeah, get the code, quickly.

Oh señorita.

Squeeze that lemon.

Marquis was right, Lola.

- This conference is a trap.
- What?

Colonel is carrying 2 messages.

One is probably a letter of
reassurance, the other an order for arrest.

Arrest?

They haven't any mean to lure the king into
France with their promises of goodwill...

and they'll take him prisoner as he crosses
the border, get me the pack of the birds.

- Is the colonel started señorita?
- Yes.

But he won't get there
before late tomorrow night.

Our message should
be there in 4 hours at most.

Time to warn the king so he can turn back.

Now the pigeons.

What is it? What's wrong?

This is not my bird,
the markings are different.

- Señorita?
- Someone changed it.

But they couldn't I, how could they?
I've been here all the time.

Except...

- You did go out?
- Yes.

The concierge asked me to look in another room
where he thought you'd be more comfortable.

That's when they did it.
Let me see the other one.

Concierge?

But it couldn't be he.

No, you see? You see, they changed them both.

They substituted their birds for mine
so that my message would go to them.

But who do you suppose could've done this?

Someone who knew my every move.

Someone who knew I had the birds...

who knew when I went out and bribed
the concierge to get you out of the room.

But if they knew all that why
haven't they done something before?

They had to get evidence
before they could take me.

If I'd sent this message, they would had it.

Can't you do anything?
Can't you get word to the king?

I don't know.

I might try the man in the market but...

- still, if they knew about the birds they...
- How about Don Diego?

- I'm thinking about him.
- He'd do anything for you.

He knows the roads, he rides fast.

If he leaves now, he could reach Vitoria
before the colonel, he could warn the king.

What is it?

He might be the
very one who's doing all this.

- Señorita?
- Oh, I know, I know.

But who else could it be?

Marquis said the French had...

- very efficient counterspies.
- But Don Diego? It couldn't be he.

Oh, I hope and pray you're right Lola.

Here, clear up all this.
Destroy everything, get rid of the birds.

- Don't leave a trace of evidence.
- Where are you going?

I'm going to the marketplace.
And if that fails, I'll go to Don Diego.

Pardon me.

The man who owns that store, where is he?

The police came and took him
away madame, just a few minutes ago.

The police?

Yes madam, I don't know why
but they just came and took him away.

- That's too bad, eh?
- I'd find another store, thank you.

She's coming up here, put those reports away.

Go in there.

Yes, sir.

She's probably coming to you for help.

Just remember, she'll be suspicious.

She's discovered those
birds have been changed.

So, be doubly careful.

Make her believe that you're ready
and eager to help her, get her to talk.

If she'll confide in you, confess
what's she's doing that's all we need.

Very well sir.

And put a better face on it.

You've been long enough in the service
to know there's no room for sentiment.

I'll be in there.

- Nina Maria.
- I've, I've come to see this historic site.

- Come in.
- Are you alone?

Yes, yes. Come in, come in.

- What happened to the colonel?
- He had to go to Vitoria on duty.

- Oh, then you didn't have lunch with him.
- No.

Oh, you must be starved, let me get
you something, some fruit, wine?

A little wine please, I'm really not hungry.

- Sure?
- Yes, thank you.

How charming?

I didn't know you could find a
place like this on such short notice.

- Oh yes, wasn't I lucky?
- Yes.

I wasn't sure I'd find you here,
I was afraid you might be out.

Oh, I came right back here
after you left me at the riverbank.

You've, you've deceived me Diego.

- Deceived you?
- Yes.

Yes, you told me I'd find all the
chairs broken from that night of anguish.

Oh, yeah.

But everything was miraculously healed today.

- To us.
- To us.

- Getting late.
- Oh, nonsense.

Why, it's only 3 o'clock.

We've several hours before
you have to go back to the cafe.

Yes.

- Diego.
- Yes?

You, you meant what you said to me
today on the riverbank, didn't you?

Oh, you know I did, Nina Maria.

I'm going to ask you to do something for me.

How long did it take
you to get here from Vitoria?

Oh, a day and a half.
Of course, I was riding very hard.

- Why?
- I want you to take a message for me.

- A message?
- Yes/

I'll, I'll write it for you.

Oh, I'll get you some paper.

- Pen?
- Thank you.

Will you get your things?
I'd like you to leave immediately.

- Where am I to go?
- To Vitoria.

- Vitoria?
- Yes.

Here.

- You haven't told me whom this is for.
- Read it and see.

I'll take that captain Andre.

- Captain Andre?
- Of the French military intelligence service.

- French?
- Yes Nina Maria, I'm French.

It took us a long time to find out...

who was getting information
from our officers in Madrid.

It was captain Andre who first suspected you.

You're a very clever woman
señorita but not clever enough.

We've caught you.

- But I, I don't know what you mean.
- Yeah?

Reserve one table alone.

Order one flaming omelet.

I'll be at your place in 3 days.

What's this?

I happen to like flaming omelets.

You mind?

I'm sorry you were disappointed in my note.

As a matter of fact I was about to write
another, a much more personal one.

But I wanted first to see what would
happen when I handed him this.

Just a moment señorita.

We know very well what that
personal message would've been.

We know you're a spy.

Why, monsieur...

Don't think because you outwitted us this
time that you can go on with your activities.

You go right back to your hotel and pack.

I'm giving you until 9 o'clock
tonight to get out of this country.

And I warn you, don't
ever set foot in France again.

Your warning is
entirely unnecessary monsieur.

After what I have experienced
today I've no desire to return.

Goodbye, better luck next time.

Have you come to
see that I leave the country?

- I came to bring you this.
- Thank you.

I know you hate me for what I've done.

You're wrong, I've the
greatest admiration for you.

You're a very valuable agent
especially for following women.

You sing love songs beautifully and...

Your lovemaking is very convincing.

I deserve everything you
think of me but I must tell you,

at first, I thought of this
as any other assignment.

I even thought it'd be fun.

- Well, wasn't it?
- Yes, it was, for a while.

And then I fell in love...

I wanted to tell you what I was
to warn you but I was under orders.

You must believe me Nina Maria,
I do love you and I always will..

I'm afraid I can't
believe anything you've ever said.

You're French, that's all I need to know.

Drive on Pedro.

The emperor Napoleon of France
makes known to the people of Spain...

that Ferdinand VII has abdicated.

- King Ferdinand abdicated?
- What's happening?

In his place,
Joseph Bonaparte will rule as king of Spain.

King Joseph Bonaparte
will enter the city of Madrid...

on the 20th day of July.

His majesty is to
be received with royal honors.

You are to hang tapestries from your balcony.

You're to strew flowers on
the street before the king.

You're to be on the
streets to welcome the king.

Every man, woman, and child.

You mustn't feel that way.

Perhaps our people needed something like
this to stir them out of their lethargy.

There is war and rebellion Nina Maria.

You'll be needed more than ever.

You mean, you still have faith
in me after this, this failure?

Oh yes, of course.

You'll have to drop out of sight for a while.

They know you now, it would be too dangerous.

But don't worry, you'll get
your chance when the time comes.

I shall live for that time to come.

Are we going to let them
take our country from us?

Are we going to let them kill
our women and children?

No. No. No.

The British, the British.

Powerful England, powerful England.

This gentlemen, will be the decisive
battle of the whole 5 years campaign.

You see the positions of the
French forces holding Vitoria.

The enemy's artillery, here, here, here.

They have command of every
bridge, every road, every mountain pass.

And for the first time, we're
facing their consolidated forces.

- That means more than 80,000 men.
- Theirs against our 50,000.

With food rations for only half that
number, situation seems desperate mi lord.

No no, we've pushed
the invaders back this far.

We will not stop now, not if it
costs the life of every Spaniard...

That is exactly what it would cost.
And even that wouldn't give us victory.

We must rely on strategy.

May we ask...

For the time being
it's best to keep it secret.

But hold all your troops in
readiness for an order to attack.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Captain, ask the Marquis
de Melito to come here.

Yes mi lord.

- You sent for me mi lord?
- Yes, any word yet?

Only that she's behind the
French lines as a camp follower.

- She's been there a week.
- A week?

These things take time sir.

- She must reestablish certain connections.
- Yes, yes, of course.

I have the utmost faith in her, she's
waited a long time for this opportunity.

I know she will not fail.

Continue.

- Bring that girl to headquarters.
- Yes general.

Thank you, what can I sell you all?

- Some wine, tobacco, sweets or wine?
- Let's have wine.

- Yes, give us wine.
- Let's have wine.

Hey, you there.

- Me?
- Yes, you.

- The general wants to see you.
- Oh, what's wrong? I, I've permission.

- Come on, and don't be long about it.
- All right, but I've to take my cart.

Sorry.

- Your coat mademoiselle.
- Oh thank you monsieur.

- Come on.
- All right, all right, all right.

Come on Angelino,
the general wants to see us.

Goodbye.

- All right.
- All right.

Enter.

Come in.

Thank you captain Pierlot.

Nina Maria.

- I didn't think you'd remember.
- I remember very well.

I remember that you had an
engagement with me at Bayonne 5 years ago.

- And when I came back you had vanished.
- Yes.

Just after you left I had some very bad news.

- I had to leave in a few hours' notice.
- But you might have left me some word.

I was so upset, I was so nervous I...

I didn't take time to do anything,
not even to leave you a note, sorry.

And now I find you again,
a cantinera following our army.

- Had to make a living some way.
- How long have you been doing this?

Since the war.

Spanish found out I was a French
sympathizer and turned against me, so...

Well, everything else may have altered
but you haven't changed a particle.

You're more beautiful
than ever, if that's possible.

And you're less, how shall I say it? Less...

unapproachable.

Was I ever unapproachable with you monsieur?

Oh Nina Maria, why
didn't you come to me long ago?

I was afraid, you...

- you were so important.
- Well, you're going to be important again.

You're going back with us to Madrid.

And this time you won't have to
worry about pleasing the Spaniards.

You'll have lovely clothes
and jewels just as you used to.

No more of this sort of thing.

Duval, Duval.

What's the matter with the fella?

Duval...

- Yes your excellency.
- Now Duval...

go down to the major's wife,

present my compliments and
tell her there's a lady in distress.

Ask her if she'll be
kind enough to lend her a...

a...

- A complete change of wardrobe.
- Yes sir.

And then bring her some
champagne, some of my good champagne.

Yes your excellency.

We must celebrate our
finding each other again.

- Years since I've had champagne.
- Ah, you've come just in time.

We've ordered some special wines
from Paris to celebrate our victory.

- Is there going to be a battle?
- Not a battle, a rout.

The greatest rout of the war.

Oh, how I should like to see that.

How I should like to see
you leading your troops.

- You would, would you?
- Yes.

Take me with you please.

This is not going to be a tournament, you
know. Battles aren't a very pleasant sight.

Oh, but I want to see.

You've no idea what it's been
like back there behind the lines.

We get our orders, we go here,
we go there but we never see anything.

I want to be part of the excitement.
I want to see what's really happening.

Do you think I'm going to risk
having something happen to you...

just when I've found you again?

Oh, but surely there must be some
safe place where I could watch.

Yes, yes.

- A complete change of wardrobe sir.
- Wait, let me see.

A dress, slippers, hat.

- Where's the...
- Here sir.

What you got there?

What is it?

A note, a soldier gave
it to me to keep for him.

Why was it sewed up in your coat?

I hadn't any pockets.
I wanted to be sure was safe.

Give it to me.

- Well, the soldier said...
- Give it to me.

It can't be anything important.

The soldiers are always giving
us things to keep for them.

- He said he'd be back for it but...
- Where did you get this? I want the truth.

I'm telling you the truth. Why? What is it?

A map of our lines.

- Oh, it couldn't be. Why, he wouldn't...
- And what is this written in code?

I don't know. I tell you, I don't know.

Captain Pierlot.

Yes, excellency.

Get me lieutenant Vancour
of the intelligence service.

Lieutenant Vancour is off-duty, sir.

- Who is on-duty?
- Captain Andre sir.

- Andre?
- Captain Francois Andre.

Ask him to come here
at once and call the guard.

Yes excellency.

Nina Maria, if you're telling
the truth you have nothing to fear.

But if you had anything to do with this...

you're going to get the quickest
court-martial and execution on record.

Enter.

Captain Andre sir.

Send him in and tell the captain of
the guard to stand by for further orders.

Yes sir.

You seem to know this girl.

- Yes your excellency.
- I remember your face.

Where have I seen you before?

- In Bayonne, your excellency.
- Bayonne?

Oh, of course, you
were the man with the flowers.

- Were you in the intelligence service then?
- Yes your excellency.

I was detailed to follow the señorita.

We suspected her of obtaining
information for the Spanish espionage...

but we never could get any proof.

Well, we have it now, there it is.

Captain Lagarde?

- At your order sir.
- Place this woman under arrest as a spy.

Search her and her belongings
and prepare an immediate court-martial.

Yes your excellency.

Proceed.

That was a close call.

- So, what do you make of it?
- That's an authentic map of our lines.

Every regiment, every battery,
almost every piece of artillery.

- She didn't make this map.
- How you know?-

This is a section of an
English general's staff map.

English? Then the English know our position.

- Seems so.
- Where did she get it?

What was she going to do with it?

Wait a minute, maybe
this message will explain it.

Seems to me I've seen
this code before, let me see.

The first word is...

- Verify.
- Verify?

That's why she
wanted to get to the front lines.

Well, decipher that
message as quickly as you can.

Yes sir.

- There's something under there.
- Take that board out.

Proceed.

Finished.

- It did come from English headquarters.
- Verify this map and return.

Will attack dawn of the 21st, dawn?

It's in about 5 hours.

- Send the chief of staff here at once.
- Yes sir.

- Any further orders sir?
- That's all captain Andre, thank you.

Carrier pigeons.

Yes sir, we found them among her possessions.

Oh, captain Andre remain,
I may have need of you..

Yes sir.

- Put them there.
- Yes sir.

- You heard what happened?
- Yes your excellency.

That makes it imperative that we
change our entire formation before dawn.

Dispatch the following orders...

Withdraw 2 brigades of
infantry from each right and left wing...

and place behind the ninth, in the center.

Center.

Concentrate all reserves for a center attack.

Center attack.

15 minutes past 4 o'clock.

Captain Andre, I want you
to write a message on that map.

Yes, sir.

Put it in the same code.

Write positions correct...

Except for center.

Center weak.

When they attack that center, they'll
get a reception they'll never forget.

- Ready?
- Yes sir.

Attach that map to one of those
birds and prepare it for flight.

Enter.

Your orders have been
executed your excellency.

The troops are now
occupying their new positions.

Good. That bird ready?

- Yes your excellency.
- Open that window.

Bon voyage.

- Thank you captain Andre.
- You may now report back to your post.

Well colonel, we're ready, come on.

- Come to see the prisoner.
- Yes sir.

I've only a moment,
I must get back to my post.

- But I had to speak to you alone.
- Why?

You've done your duty,
your conscience is clear.

Conscience?
As if I cared about my conscience.

All these years I've dreamed of you, of a
time when this terrible war would be over.

When we were no longer enemies, when I could
come to you and make my peace, and now...

now to be the one who... why did
you do this? Why did you come here?

Why did you do this? Why did you come here?
Didn't you know you'd be recognized...

- put to death if you were caught?
- Yes, I knew.

And I was willing to take the risk.

- It was madness.
- Perhaps.

- Perhaps not.
- I'm not going to let you die.

I love you Nina Maria, my life would
be over if anything happened to you.

I'll not let you die.

The battle started.

Yes captain Andre, the battle for Vitoria.

That sounded closer.

Something is wrong.

They're not attacking
the center, they're attacking this wing.

Nothing is wrong,
everything is exactly as was planned.

Planned?

Wellington never intended to attack
through the center but he wanted you to...

think he was he was going
to so you'd weaken your wing position.

What do you mean?

He couldn't have defeated you in
the formation you were holding...

but he has a chance now that
that formation is been changed.

That's why I came up here with that map...

came here where you were, where de
Rougemont was. I wanted to be caught.

My instructions were to be discovered
with the map but never to send it.

We left that bit of strategy for you.

You mean that carrier pigeon, the British
know that we're the ones who sent it?

Yes and they know as well as you do...

that you never would've sent
it had those been your positions.

Nina Maria. Guard. Guard.

That's right
captain Andre, go back to your regiment.

They'll need you, they'll
need every man they can get.

Nina Maria.

Oh. Oh, no.

Shone more resplendent...

Nina Maria, I was so afraid we'd be too late.

You hear that? That's for you.

You've made our victory possible,
the war is over, Nina Maria.

Spain is ours again.

Can't be.

- The French.
- They fled in disorder,

leaving everything behind them.

Ammunition, cannons, supplies, everything.

I mean the wounded.

A man...

He fell out there.

They took him away.

I don't know whether he's alive or, or...

Oh, tell me his name,
I'll try to find out about him.

No, I must go.

Have you, is there a
captain Francois Andre...

of the French army.

No, but he may be
in one of the other shelters.

Diego.

Oh Diego, I'm here.

It's you Nina, don't leave me.

- Don't go.
- I won't, Diego, ever.
