Fire!

Six kilometers ...

You're okay, honey.

And now...

Fire!

"ZEI�A AFRODITA".

Translation and adaptation, Raiser.

"Le Rever" ... what a strange name for a ship.

Typical Harry.

The fern is a mystery And so is he.

You see, his origins are obscure And no one knows what he does.

I'm not even sure that Laird is his real name.

He looks English.

It's actually German, but nobody's perfect.

How did he earn his money?

Oh no!

- Don't be so curious. - I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I don't mean to be rude but something strange is going on.

I know that and nobody tells me anything.

Well...

Let me be the first.

By this time tomorrow

the stars of the Pleiades constellation

they will align with the Moon which is at the summit.

This phenomenon only occurs twice in a century.

And this, Pauline?

I don't even know where the Pleiades are.

I'll show you, come on!

Don't tell me you believe in mythology.

I believe in destiny,

Not human folly

And I don't.

Not necessarily in that order. Do you like to travel?

How could I not love it? It's absolutely devastating.

But I'd like someone to tell me more much about where we're going.

Ah!

Well...

To begin with, we're going to the Orloff estate,

where is a small island, like a little piece of paradise.

And we all know what's going on out there.

- Pauline! - Mark, have you finished with them?

- Is that my painting? - Yes, it's...

Isn't it delicious?

Aphrodite rising from the foam of the sea.

And what's in the box?

- The weapon. - A gun?

A replica of one of my recent weapons.

A gift for Baron Orloff. He loves toys.

I have a feeling it's England

the newspapers call you "The merchant of death"?

I know ... keep writing them to thank them.

These compliments are so rare in life, don't you think?

Have you come to believe that last year They called me a fanatical libertine?

A sentence that doesn't stop him This angers old Zakharov.

Not my darling, it's a gift

for this little boy's parents.

I've never tried such a delicacy. while traveling, have I?

In my opinion, Klausovich is wrong.

Boys are an extension of business.

No diplomacy.

When men stop asking for weapons to slaughter each other,

so I'm going to stop making them.

But war is in the nature of men

like carnal love.

And just as attractive.

Another decade of love and murder is upon me is going very well, thank you very much.

Another decade of love and murder is upon me is going very well, thank you very much?

This man is completely insane.

Welcome to ...

I only love one man which is crazy.

Then you adapt perfectly.

Maybe this mysterious asylum where Let's go, it's going to be a madhouse.

Just remember that you're a tireless artist.

How can I forget?

If it wasn't for Harry, you'd probably be a painter starving somewhere.

Do you know ...

Suddenly, this idea seems extreme attractive.

It pays you well.

That's right.

I didn't realize that there would be other obligations.

You should read what he writes in small letters at the bottom of every contract.

Don't worry.

I won't fall into that trap again.

Well...

You can be stupid at night for the last time.

Yes ?

Come in!

Harry ...

I'm sorry to bother you, but...

Can't you sleep?

No, no...

Oh dear!

What's in it? It's good.

- Just dance. - I should have understood that.

The glass is transparent on one side And the mirror on the other.

How clever.

I must say, your mistress is stranger than they say.

Is it weird?

It's nothing.

You should have seen him last Christmas.

Harry!

Harry, that's why I came to talk to you tonight...

This is because I'd like you to make sure ...

Pauline and with you you'll ...

Suzanne, you're joking.

You know I love slippery women.

Come on! Go to bed!

Sleep well and look forward for the rest of your journey.

And above all don't worry.

- Thank you for your time. - Yes...

Good night!

I still can't do the right thing.

Well, keep trying.

Suzanne's beautiful face, perhaps to our advantage.

- Why don't you ask them to stay? - No problem!

She's too smart. But, you know, if I think any better, it's mine.

As for Pauline, will he or won't he?

Well...

No one is that wise.

Paulinsky!

Will you keep us company for breakfast?

If we stick to the program.

I'm going to work right away.

- Immediately! - Well...

Come on, I'll be back soon.

It's so boring pose for the photographer.

Have you recovered after terrible trip?

I slept like a child.

Your villa is magnificent, Karine.

It is perfectly restored.

I feel like you would have arrived in another century.

All credit to Alexis.

He loaded an entire freight train from the Petersburg exhibition.

It took another two years before satisfied.

Your husband?

It's very attractive.

Too bad he can't come with us.

His career is more important than anything else.

I'm looking forward to becoming an ambassador this year.

Working so hard, sometimes late into the night.

You have more time with your lover ...

Be serious, Pauline!

If I didn't know you a� fii �ocat�.

You're just as scandalous as you were at the retreat.

You don't have to eat the same food every day, do you?

Or wear the same dress.

So why sleep with them guy every night?

Don't tell me you're not faithful to Alexis!

Of course I am!

From time to time ...

I'm very happy to see you again.

Look, the girls are coming too.

I come from the Côte d'Azur and I can sing on all kinds of musical instruments.

Harry Laird brought them back from France.

From the Côte d'Azur?

How can you pluck them first

these women in your house.

Harry always has a reason for everything he does.

I can't wait to find out.

I still can't tell who it is Eve and who Delphine is.

Eve is the one you last night, darling.

Oh!

If you have to spy on me do a better job.

I slept with the other one this morning.

See what I have to put up with?

It's worse than being married Rasputin.

Rasputin?

You must tell Julie what she did to you.

Seriously, you have nothing to worry about.

No problem at all.

I didn't even have to look at it.

N�elegi?

Because I didn't want to I think a man like that

ugly could seduce even a chambermaid.

But her eyes!

A single glance

And I softened like butter.

What did he tell you?

Not a word.

He just gave it to me.

Soon after, her hands My breasts were exposed.

See for yourself!

She grabbed my boobs

And he kissed me.

Then he moved his mouth closer

so easy for mine.

Oh, oh ...

Oh, darling, haven't we gone too far?

Maybe you should confess that you haven't even met Rasputin.

Never! And that's all there is to it.

I hate nothing more than a lie.

North-east ...

Beyond Neprovesky I saw

the line containing the mortars p�n� la Tistran.

Good answer, Major!

You've got real talent

for twisted phrases.

Put all these words

In a detailed report.

And make sure that those the general's entourage will know

your contribution at the right time.

Rebasa ...

You've arrived!

My dear Volinsky

would you be so kind as to take them for the next few days.

Go see your family.

My family is in Moscow.

Then...

Go somewhere in the country.

That's it, go fishing, Volinsky!

I'll let you know when I need you.

We're already two weeks away Follow the program.

The report...

Can wait! O vacan�� it's good for both of us.

Is it clear?

Perfect!

Nicky! Nicky!

Nicky ...

Prepare the meal at nine o'clock.

No, no...

Ten o'clock.

Did you also invite Mrs. Harrigan?

Then at eleven o'clock.

Place the table outside.

And see if Debrein is ready to greet the guests.

Oh!

The key, my dear!

Thank you!

That being said Who is Mrs. Harrigan?

A friend ...

He owns half America's coal mines.

He'll love her.

It's ours.

Sir, please...

There, right there.

Right over there. Oh!

It's so good.

Ah!

Careful, Barbara!

Isn't that Mr. Laird's boat?

That'll be Harry.

I'm sorry, please sit down.

Don't be afraid.

Monsieur le Baron Orloff, You already know Valérie.

Lady Suzanne Stanford.

"And his niece, Pauline. - How delicious!

I've been looking for you for a long time, Baron.

No less time than me.

What's in there, Harry? One of your weapons?

Yes, you could say that.

I brought gifts and surprises for everyone.

This girl, Pauline, is divine. I hope he's one of the guests.

Have another hour, my dear.

All must be revealed.

Sometimes when I go to Vienna

I meet Count Dieter von Isaak.

- My husband... - As you ask...

My spies tell me it's

a rising star in the foreign foreign affairs.

I hope your spies are right, Mr. Laird.

Harry ... I'd rather you told me. Better, Harry.

Very good, Harry.

Alexis will have a crisis if not stay in suspense for a long time.

Then we shouldn't wait.

Ladies!

Aphrodite!

Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty

she was the most revered of the Parthenon goddesses.

The Greeks of the Golden Age believed

that it is reborn twice every century.

Not at night when the stars of the Pleiades

they aligned with the Moon.

They celebrated this event

with a festival of love.

This celestial phenomenon

will take place this evening.

- How about tonight? - Yes, in a few hours.

Nicky!

The islanders have decided to follow the traditions

And they've been planning a carnival for a few weeks.

Not just in this part of Greece.

Exactly!

And then I thought, why not Shall we pay homage to the goddess?

After all

we spend most of it time looking for love

And beauty, isn't it?

Many of you have read

And you reread like me

this masterpiece

erotic literature.

Afrodita

by Pierre Louys.

Where do you want to go with this, Harry?

Ah!

I propose to stage this piece.

Using this short story as a guide.

Our interpretation

it will last three days and three nights.

We'll be both spectators and actors.

And the whole island

this will be our stage.

I've assigned it to each of you

the role that suits you best.

And now...

Tell me, my friends

What do you think of my madness?

It's a great idea, Harry.

Simply brilliant.

It's going to be like erotica Greek will become reality.

Very funny, Harry.

I seem to be Dimitrios,

the prisoner of beautiful Apollo

�i Crndr�gostit de Crisyss.

And also the Baroness's lover,

which will be interpreted by me.

Darling, Alexis is the product a union out of stupidity,

whose lack of principles is a gift of nature.

You don't have to be offended, Alexis.

My role is that of Nocatis.

A philosopher who owes his fortune

vicious nature.

And whose cheap pleasure comes

to organize other couples.

What happened, Barbara?

You certainly have nothing to object object to being the beautiful Cleopatra.

But how could I play Queen Egypt without a proper costume.

I have nothing to wear And that would look pretty stupid.

Don't worry, Barbara.

Clothing, accessories, food ...

Harry has it all.

This will also enable

your team.

They'd love it!

I have a curiosity ...

Can you tell us now what's in the box?

A statue of the goddess Aphrodite.

For the related ceremony.

Mark has to put it in the temple

And then you'll all have Something to remember.

Beautiful, Harry!

Simply splendid.

Now I understand why you called them those two girls.

Self-portrait of a musician.

- It's in the book. - It's in the book.

We're two lovers, Julie.

Does it excite you?

I'm not too sure.

You know, it's like a masquerade in which the cat show must go on.

Three nights instead of one.

Very good.

I'll do it!

You can't take no for an answer.

Isn't that right, Karine?

Who will play Crysiss?

The cutest girl in the country,

considered the reincarnation of the goddess Aphrodite.

Let me guess.

Pauline ...

Not!

Talk too soon, Pauline.

Read the book first.

No one wants to involve you in anything that contradicts your true nature.

It was not my intention to follow the letter of the book.

The scene will be symbolic,

just like the villagers do at carnival time.

I don't want to spoil your fun but I can't do this.

I'll just give you three tasks, Pauline. They're all innocent.

Pauline!

Pauline ...

Seriously, Suzanne? erotic party masquerade?

I'll be honest with you, Pauline.

I'm still indebted to Harry Laird.

If you don't do this

my husband will lose them position in society.

With this debt, our position

he has a lot to suffer.

But why, Aunt Suzanne? Why would you do that?

You're much richer than I am.

You must not become careless.

We were combined with another couple for a while.

But dukes are... Well, it doesn't matter who it is!

Shortly afterwards, an exchange of indiscreet letters took place

They fell into the hands of the wrong person.

Someone tried to blackmail me.

Harry Laird?

On the contrary... Harry is the one who saved our skin.

I went to him for advice.

The next day, the letter was returned to me.

- The person who beats you? - Yes...

I don't know what Harry said to him, but...

I've never seen anyone more frightened.

I still don't get it.

I promised Harry that you'd pay back

Anyway, I can.

That was two years ago, Pauline.

I was very angry with myself.

Now turn to me and...

And finally, you turn to me.

I'm the returning favor.

Do what you want, I'm not doing it what more can I tell you.

Yes! You might remember that I'm an orphan.

And when my parents died

you and your uncle took me in and raised me

than your own daughter.

You've given me everything I've ever had.

And without asking for anything in return.

It has nothing to do with that, Pauline.

I owe it all to you, Aunt Suzanne.

I'll do it!

What are three days in a human life?

After all, it's just a game.

A special gift for you, Alexis.

How kind you are, Harry.

How prudent.

I could break my brain, if The moon would make me lose my mind.

With a real one, it could.

He has a 600-yard line.

It's twice the distance

a 60-mm "Crop".

- Don't say it! "Yes, Alexis," I said.

It's fantastic!

The general's entourage I found it very interesting.

I'm sure of it.

We are poorly equipped with artillery

Not in some areas.

How could the brave Russians not be?

Between their vast borders?

I have some ballistics data on the yacht that I have to give you.

Don't come to me.

But all my clothes are still on the yacht.

You won't need it for a while.

And now...

Take care of yourself, darling.

Thanks for the meal, Alexis.

The fun was on my side.

Don't worry about Pauline. She'll be fine.

There's no doubt about it.

Are you sure about the yacht, Harry?

At least that's all I can do.

I've already announced the crew, the ship is ready.

You've thought of everything.

I'm trying...

So far, so good!

Any message?

How lucky are we?

The way things are going

everything seems to be a real punishment.

Tarot cards can't tell the whole story.

It's a poor analogy for life.

Death continues to appear.

Hanging ...

I'm not surprised.

The sound of war grows louder with each passing day.

You can ask the books of I say who will win.

Not!

It's not necessary.

The winner is always the same.

Zaharov?

Mug...

Oh, Harry...

That's the way it is.

I wonder what happened,

with this cuckoo clock the one I gave Alexis last year?

I've seen it!

No!

Oh!

Cathy Hammer ...

The long-haired Crysiss fairy,

what can be seen from afar...

Likes it never

I didn't think... received...

I never believed

to receive it.

Zina Crysiss ...

The long-haired Crysiss fairy,

what can be seen from afar...

The love that never ...

To love ...

Likes it never

I didn't think I'd understand...

I would like to be the fruit what you eat, the perfume

that you love, love what touches your guts...

Are you Crysiss?

What brings you here at this hour, Rhodes?

And only the sand is its bed...

Our families chased us away.

They sent us to this �inut �ndep�rtat f�r�

another avu�ie � lointain� of our beauty.

In Alexandria, we're quite wealthy.

In time, it will flourish.

But we don't have a bed tonight.

Would you take us to your home?

I couldn't resist on my own.

But Mother Nature knows good thing it's not mine.

Since you're trying to desire for this girl.

I'm going to do it alone this time.

I've never slept with a woman before.

Rhodes is the most tenderest among teachers.

You know where I live.

The door is open...

Well done!

All right!

What a talent!

Very nice!

Enchanting!

All right!

I loved the moment when you said

that you've never slept with a woman before.

Excellent!

And you, Pauline, very good!

A slave ...

That's why I was born.

Your words make no sense.

I hear such words in Every day of the week.

But what else can I offer you?

Wealth ... Me neither.

Money and other material goods?

It disgusts me!

This is your only treasure.

You whom the gods left out of sight.

Very good, Dimitrios.

If your love is so hot,

then you have to prove it to me.

I'm going to give him three tasks.

One for each night of the feast of the goddess Aphrodite.

If you fill them all in

I'll be yours.

Order only.

Zina Crysiss.

The girl I sent to my bed,

with a key dangling from its collar.

Make a copy of this key And bring it to me.

But not her, nor anyone else,

he doesn't need to know what you've done.

Anything else?

When you have completed the first task

I'll tell you what the next step is.

Take a look here!

And no one is the wiser.

You don't have to wait for a price.

But the night ...

I'm going to give her a pregnancy which requires

more competence than ever before.

As an artist, I have both.

A scroll from the sea Library of Alexandria,

it's hidden somewhere in this room.

The hiding place is marked with a small heart.

A little heart ... you want you say a music box.

Find her... and bring her to me.

I'm telling you, without anyone knowing.

Can I ask why?

I can't tell you any more than that.

The wisdom in your eyes

continues to intrigue me.

Exactly at midnight the statue goddess Aphrodite

he commissioned Dimitrios will be revealed.

Empty the cups!

Now turn them over.

One of them is marked with a cross.

This is mine. What is the meaning of this?

This means you'll be dedicating an act act of love to the goddess Aphrodite.

Before dawn.

At night, as usual

you will consummate the ceremony with any lover of your choice.

You seem a little distracted, Julie.

Do our pleasures distract you?

And I'm distracted.

Because you slept with someone of the same sex?

Because I found such pleasure.

Dar te �n�eli!

You my dear

it is distinct from bad animals

only two divine functions.

Caressing

And kisses.

And there are women

who perfected both.

I still don't get it.

Don't worry about understanding.

Even philosophers and poets these are simple tools

when it comes to love.

Our time has come!

Your precious crowd is in possession of Eros,

like everyone else tonight.

For a slave, your tone is unkind.

I'm so angry!

I'm angry because...

Because I love you!

Do you love me?

I...

I've loved you from the moment...

The first time I saw you.

Not from anywhere

from a distant edge,

but on the deck of the ship "Ferig".

Aa �i?

I no longer want you to involve yourself in all kinds of lascivious ceremonies,

I just want you for myself.

- But listen... - You listen to me!

Come with me.

Somewhere far from here.

Away from the others.

Forever and ever...

I believe you...

I really believe you.

And I'll go with you.

I'll go anywhere.

Do you know that?

So let's get going!

Tonight.

Not!

Not tonight, not tomorrow.

I made a promise, I have to keep it.

Please!

Don't ask me to explain or give up.

We'll be leaving the next day.

Until then, you'll be trapped in a a world I don't want you to know about.

You have nothing to worry about.

No matter what I see or hear

I'll never become like the others.

I'm not like them!

What else have you prepared for us?

Are you coming back now?

Oh no!

After a few scenes together,

the baroness will release him

the most faithful slave, Aphrodite.

During a ceremony a time and traditions.

- Who will play Aphrodite? - Ah ...

And what should she do?

Reward them with release?

Aphrodite must offer herself to all those who want it.

We'll see about the rest when the time comes.

Rome has a certain appeal.

It's true!

It is appropriate

that you must play this role.

You come first other reasons for freedom

that seemed inconceivable a day or two ago.

�i a�a ...

I've come to accomplish my last task.

You'll find that it's no more difficult than last time.

I know you do.

I'll just put it where I found it,

f�r� s� fiu prins.

How did you know?

Where do you have the key?

How did you get the key?

I made two.

You're as sly as Harry!

Where does this idea come from?

Call it artistic intuition.

The parchment was intended to be read.

You have copied ...

Why?

I can't understand it.

But I think its value depends on

the fact that you don't know,

if anyone...

Please!

Has anyone ever seen them?

It's hard to say it's Greek.

Really?

It's not a parchment.

Nor is it in ancient Greek.

Sounds Russian...

Do you have any idea what that might mean?

I'd rather not guess.

Nicky!

Come on, darling.

- Can you help me, please? - Yes, ma'am.

Can you anoint my body with this?

Are you anointed?

Yes, please!

I'm beginning to think Aphrodite

he put a spell on me.

I've never felt it before something like this

In the presence of a woman.

How do you like it so far?

Be careful, it's spiced with herbs.

With herbs?

From around here?

An aphrodisiac rarely brought to the mountains of Macedonia.

Oh!

When you burn it on the gasoline

it's even more stimulating.

What attention to our needs!

What a shame Aphrodite is reborn

only twice in a century.

Until next time

we'll all be too b�tr�ni s� o célébr�m.

Or if we're still alive.

You don't feel like the world as we know,

our world,

changed in any way?

Don't worry, Alexis!

Pn� and into a new world�

a world of radical new values

there's always a place for you too.

And for me...

Yes, but isn't it shocking?

I don't have enough words like that to express my gratitude,

for the pleasure your your friendship has given me.

I'd like to find a way I can reward you.

You already have.

Your hospitality alone is a gift that would thank even the gods.

Come on, buddy!

The gods are impatient!

Stay with me, my child!

Everyone's talking

how you grow every day too the goddess Aphrodite herself.

The wine deceived his senses. I'm just like anyone else.

You can repeat it.

I'll never know why you asked me to stay here.

Orloff asked for it as a gift.

Your fair beauty invigorates our old souls,

without the power to to inspire our love,

all the distractions of days gone by,

they will soon disappear.

And all that ...

You call it...

love?

My darling ... I am so advanced in years and ranks

that you allow me to name anything act with what name I like.

What you see here

it's one of the many forms of love.

And you've got all night to find out.

Stop looking at things As before, my dear Crysiss.

And so on...

You'll be one of them, And you'll do what they do.

- Hey ... - No, no!

No, leave me alone!

Let me go!

Harry! Orloff!

Volinsky!

How dare you?

Duke Ferdinand's wife was killed.

Killed?

When?

Where did it happen?

In the morning, I'm sorry!

She was murdered by a rebel gang.

Frantz Josef has already mobilized his armies.

Volinsky, is my yacht ready?

- I just saw them in the harbor. - Well...

I'd like to talk to him. Not particularly, Harry.

I understand.

Let me do my job.

You know what that means!

In the Budapest area

most have a concentration of weapons

is right here.

To the south ...

Now that you've found them for us...

We can eliminate them.

From the very first month of the war.

Count of Isaac

I have more information for you.

Let me call him

pièce de résistance.

I love you!
