Original subtitles

- In my childhood, my parents, Martin and Marie Ferral,

Were sharecroppers at the count of Nansac, a wealthy lord

Restored in its privileges at the beginning of the Restoration

Count had to law that the maximum profit

And arbitrary for all farmers.

Only my father dared resist.

The stage Laborie having hurt my mother

Killed him.

My father was condemned to the galleys, where he died,

Pursued hitherto by hatred of the count.

I was 8 years old.

I burned the forest to the castle revenge.

My mother died of hunger and exhaustion.

I alone units on roads

With only one goal:

Looking for work

Become strong...

And revenge.

I was collected by the cure Bonal.

It taught me to read and write,

Helped by his friends.

The Knight Galibert generous.

Cassius, a revolutionary.

La Ramee, an old grumbler.

And I reached the age of 20 years.

The Cure Bonal had also enemies.

The Jesuits reproached him swear allegiance to the Constitution.

Soon slandered, insulted,

Bonal had to leave his cure and his priestly state.

We started with Fantille, the maid , lead the peasant life.

I had seen Lina, the daughter of Geral, a farmer

With whom my mother worked.

I loved her and wanted to marry her.

The Mathive, Guilhem driven by her lover,

Forbidden me to see

The count reappeared in my life Galiote and his daughter

Dom Enjalbert, the chaplain and Mascret , the manager

He killed La Ramee.

It would have used his land as communal pastures.

The priest refused the sacraments.

The village revolted and invaded the church.

Already sick and worn by so much injustice,

Death of his friend was fatal to the cure Bonal.

He died in the night.

I remained alone.

Again, the heart full of hate,

This hatred he had often tried to fight .

Fantille Chassé with a distant heir

I resumed the wandering life of my childhood.

After a year of wandering life,

I had set the coal at Jean

Faithful friend of my father.

Mine now.

I helped my best in his work

The sizes of wood

And chestnut cuts.

- Here.

In other here.

It's hot today.

For a gentleman of the city, not bad.

- At The Granval

When Monsieur le Cure saw me something clever ,

I felt I could not make him happier .

You see, John...

I think the death of La Ramee was for him

The last shot of a world he no longer understood .

That he loved more.

It is left to die.

- Yes.

- So of course he had difficulty leaving me.

But he said

"Now it is high, then it understand me."

- Jacquou! Jacquou!

- Bertille! What is there ?

- They beat her. Mathive is crazy. Lina's locked.

- They will see! - Warning ! They are monsters!

Cree.

- Get off me!

- Silly Sale!

- Jacquou!

- Stop! But stop !

Stop! But you go crazy!

You're not going to kill her?

That's fine. She understood. Leave her.

- You defend it now?

You take his defense? - But no !

- If! You defend it! - But no !

- If!

- It inherits or not? If I marry, it will be the inheritance.

- And I'll be in the street!

- If it inherits one, there will be 2. all

Why worry these ideas? - I know you.

- But, Mathive! It is only you that I love.

- Lina! Where is Lina?

Old Dirty, you'll tell me where Lina?

Junk! - I did not do anything !

I do not want to hurt her! - Tell me where she is!

You gonna tell me? - She's in the attic.

- Lina!

- Oh, Jacquou! - Oh, Lina!

- I knew you would come.

- There. It's finish.

Come. - No.

- If have not afraid.. Come.

As for you two...

If you have the misfortune to touch,

I kill you!

You hear?

I kill you!

- Jacquou!

- Thanks.

- You can count on me Jacquou.

- Go! Advance!

- She is beautiful, justice!

- You should have taken your business. You could stay in prison.

- Do not worry. I will go out faster than you think.

- Go!

- Those who took the church stopped.

- Good. - Unless Jacquou.

- Unless Jacquou.

- It must be stopped. - It's not worth it.

- This is the first which has pushed the doors.

- Jacquou... We will see later.

- You can have. - Well, count.

- You too. Come on !

So Mascret? - He left The Granval.

He lives in Maurezies, in John the coal.

- Listen.

You will follow, without suspects, all he does.

In the right moment

You will capture... but alive.

I want him alive, is not it, Mascret?

While no nervousness.

Understand?

- Count me in.

- I hope so.

What do you want?

- You ask hour of hunting.

- Hunting?

At 10 h.

- Good.

- Enter!

- I was hunting. The storm surprised me.

- Enter.

Come you dry.

You do not come often here.

- No.

- Yet it is a good place to hunt.

There are no barriers.

Your hat.

Give it to me.

Answer.

- So, you live here?

- Yes.

- Since when?

- Enough.

- The storm seemed to calm down.

What time is it?

- 6 pm, maybe.

- It's late. I'll leave.

- Your clothes are not dry.

- If, almost dry.

Then he is not cold.

- But it always rains.

- Thanks.

- Bye, miss!

- Jacques!

Beware.

- There.

Here.

Here is your powder. - Thank you.

- To a wolf, the government gives 15 F.

- This is the fortune.

- Good.

You'll keep you abreast in the gully.

And I'm going back up there.

Jacquou!

- What?

- No, nothing.

Howling wolf.

- Go!

Go! Come quickly !

- No one saw you?

- No, monsieur.

- Good.

Continue.

- At the count? And then what ?

- I found his bag in the forest.

- What do I care? - But...

- You're drunk. Go to bed. It will do you good.

- I tell you that Jacquou disappeared.

- He ran away. This is a man, right?

Laughter.

- We must seek Jacquou! It is in danger of death.

- We have no time to lose. Go, shoo!

You figure it out.

- The law is the same for everyone !

You do not respect the law.

- Attention.

If you insult us, it's you who'll go to jail earlier.

Have you understood?

- I understood,

Indeed.

- Good.

To me playing.

- What is it?

- The Crunchy disappeared.

- If we could get rid of... - Ah?

Since when? - One day.

So you have them? - Yes. I have just found.

There. Everything is in order.

You want us to break down the door. Is that what you want ?

Guilhem, down the door. - Calm down.

- You're calm. - You will not succeed.

- You're calm. It suits you ? - Do not say anything stupid.

You want me to not say anything?

Do you like it?

Bastard!

Guilhem, this is for you I'm doing all this.

If I knew... You love me?

- Yeah.

Go! Now let me do.

Lina!

Lina!

It's me, Guilhem.

Be reasonable. Open me.

Lina! Open me !

I have to talk to you.

I expected.

- It is not possible to bring charges against Count?

Well, I Galibert knight Jalage, I do.

And you, Mr. judge who are the guarantor of laws

Register my complaint and order a search.

- This would be an enormity.

- Your gendarmes refuse to be searched. This is huge, yes.

- Why, Mr. Knight ! The Earl of Nansac...

- Is capable of anything, you know . You knew at least.

- I do not understand.

- You forget.

Remember.

These off-the-law flying stagecoaches. Who was the leader?

- Yes. But they were convoys of the Republic.

- Whether you were serving then as prefect . That's right ?

- Yes. - These are bad memories.

So, sir,

Yes.

This is a tapestry of the seventeenth,

After a Solomon cardboard Brush,

Fontainebleau school.

Nice work, is not it?

Philip Nansac.

Warning Knight! The chimney has not been swept.

But perhaps would you continue the visit?

I own pieces of great value.

- As You Like It.

Footsteps.

They reposition the stone slab.

You have not seen Jacquou? He disappeared.

- I'm in a hurry!

- No! - Insolent!

And shut up!

If you talk, I denounce you!

- My God, forgive me.

Jacquou, I'll join you.

- Stop!

Just opened eyes.

- Place it gently.

- No. Not moving !

- All right, Jacquou.

- And Lina?

- You will see her, Lina.

En route!

Finally! At that hour, that saved you.

This time.

- Thanks to you.

And with care miss Hermine.

- Good. It's nothing all this!

- Chevalier, the credit goes to your wine.

Without him, would Jacquou with moles.

- So much the better that my remedy has operated ! But otherwise, who cares!

" Dog Poo pond or money

" will be naked on Judgment Day "

- And Nansac will go to hell.

- Sooner than you think..

- Why

- The news of Paris are bad

That is to say, they are good

The King is in trouble...

- Oh, I knew

- I also knew.

They abused..

But I can not rejoice.

- Knight! - Yes ?

- A young lady. - She enters.

- Enter, miss!

- Bertille!

- Between, Bertille!

I almost had to fight. She did not come.

- Bertille!

- You okay, Jacquou?

- All right.

You can tell Lina I go to see her soon.

Bertille!

What is it?

- Lina disappeared.

We did not see for eight days.

- But still...

But that's not possible!

For me...

She know?

- Yes.

- Jacquou!

- Jacquou! Where are you going ?

- Jacquou!

- Jacquou!

- No one here has been spared by this man.

This criminal!

All reduced to misery by him!

We have supported his cruelty, his vexations , his crimes.

It oppresses us, we fly.

If one resists it, it kills! La Ramee was killed like a dog.

Nansac has he been arrested?

Not! This is Cassius we took.

It Earl and owner and thinks any permit!

It has money, power, support.

My Friends!

Like us on this earth Perigord,

Our fathers were crushed by Nansac.

They are released. What they won by the Revolution

Nansac the resumed gradually! He makes us sheep!

Let's show him

We are free men

Strengths of their dignity, their rights

And their grudge!

As did our fathers before us , revolt us!

- Okay. But attacking him, is spitting in the sun.

- No! it has the power to him.

We have the strength

We give our righteousness.

- This was expensive your father for having rebelled.

- My father was alone him.

But times have changed. We are no longer in 1815.

Everywhere

Many think like us!

- If you stop us?

- Who will dare send the galleys whole village?

The leader will pay for all.

If you agree, I take everything on myself.

- No, Jacquou!

- Let those

That have nothing to avenge return home.

What those in whom Nansac did not steal anything, did not kill anything,

Depart.

They are free.

- I'm with you.

- I'm with you.

- I too rest.

Do you? - Yes !

- Let us pay oath.

Vengeance against the Nansac!

- Vengeance against the Nansac!

- That women expect the village.

- Do you that we have nothing to avenge?

- Good. Here is what we will do.

- Shall we?

- No.

After the last round.

Do you understand?

You will stand ready before the gate of the castle.

- You can count on us.

- We will not take a button to the castle.

- There he is!

- Good.

I go.

- Go! Let's go !

- To arms!

Mascret! To arms!

- You hear? What is going on ?

- We attack the castle! - Oh my God !

- Rise and shine!

Awake! We attack the castle!

Take your guns! Quick !

Go! Come on !

- Mascret! At the door of the tower!

- John! At the gate! - Yes.

- You, back to the south tower! You, come with me!

- Hold it!

- Leave me alone!

- Leave it to me.

I only have to fight with him.

You should not disarm. You have wronged me.

- Beggar! My daughter is lost because of your son.

You'll pay for it. - Yes !

- Stop! - Those paying for the other.

- Stop! - No !

- If!

I have you good advice? Listen to me again!

You complain about this man? - Yes !

I have to complain more.

I lost mine. - You have to hang him!

- No!

- Let me do it justice.

If we hang him, it suffer a single moment.

What, for him, will be worse than death

Him so hard, so proud,

It will be the ruin and misery.

And as did my grandfather,

To punish their misdeeds Lord, burn Herm!

- Yes! Herm burn!

- I started it 13 years ago burning the forest.

I'll burn his castle.

- Yes. you must burn it. - Yes !

- Stack firewood everywhere! In kitchens.

- I'll get the water spirits. Come !

- Let us take them in court without harming them.

- Go!

- Go for a dress.

Bring a maid!

Go dress your girl...

Or I call our wives.

Take them!

Good!

Hurry!

Go! Come on !

Go, quickly!

Put them well against the wall.

Enough!

- I think we can go, now.

- Everything is ready?

- Yes. We paid a twenty barrels of eau-de-vie.

I go. - No. Leash.

Stay away!

All!

It is I who set fire.

Me alone. I'm responsible.

- He escaped!

He was hiding in the stables. - I beg you,

Do not hurt me.

- Put it with the others.

- Miss will not come down.

- I go.

- The top room!

- Get off.

Get off!

If necessary, you will come force.

- Do not approach!

- You give me by force, but I keep it for now.

- The fight had carried my father

Revolt of my grandfather the Crunchy, found their end.

With the castle of Herm

Disappeared the symbol of our misery.

It is thanks to my companions

Prepared with all these unfortunate me against the law of the strongest,

I had been successful

The "no" they had to pronounce

I knew now, they would forget more.

- Now that justice is done,

We let go everyone!

You are free.

- This is why?

- I just see Jacques Ferral. - Ah!

The incendiary of Herm.

You have a business license? - Yes.

- Yeah. Enter!

- I am the lawyer of lost causes.

- The just causes, master.

- This is what I said: it is wary of me.

- You defended my father when he was alone.

You will be my counsel or I do not have.

- Thanks.

Good.

The trial will take place July 29.

We plead guilty.

Discharge Witnesses are sure.

I have received delegations the region of Herm.

- Bertille!

- Jacquou!

- Master Fongrave, my lawyer.

And especially my friend.

Bertille!

As I'm glad to see you!

- What will you do?

- I do not know.

- Jacquou!

- Do not fear.

Whatever happens, I am happy.

- The king?

- They are waiting. there is a barricade behind the Tuileries.

- There's nothing in the papers. - Newspapers !

I have serious information.

All that is just beginning.

- Do not worry us.

A good squad gendarmerie and all will be fine.

Registrar! The hearing in ten minutes

- Well, Mr. Chairman.

- The court!

- Upon commencing.

Let introduce the accused.

- We were also joined the case of Cassius.

As decided by the prosecutor.

We were July 29, 1830

And Pars was revolution.

- Jacquou, is the best day of my life.

-... Or I'll clear the room.

We will proceed with the reading the indictment.

- "The prosecutor of the king,

" to the Assize Court of Perigueux, exposes

"By stopping rendered by such court,

" room indictments dated June 20, 1830,

"Named, Jacques Ferral, Jacquou Crisp says,

" Cassius Leon Perol Jean said the collier

"Joseph Pujol, detained,

" were sent before the Assize Court of the Dordogne

" For trial according to law."

- I saw him ten years ago.

My dad was there alone in my place

Before the same judges,

Before the same jury.

And at that moment, my thoughts, I think , had to be his.

Like him, whatever happens, I regret nothing.

- Cassius Leon

Is accused of with the help of his accomplices , Ferral and Pujol

Urged the village to revolt Fanlac

And ransack the church

What was done after Villar chased the priest.

These crimes are punished by the code.

- The public, alone had changed.

It was like joyful.

And it was a curious case.

The count was heard first.

And he charged me strong.

- It's him, Mr. Chairman.

This is the man who in one night,

By a deed of indescribable savagery

Ruined a good family

And reduces poor children to misery.

What is this man which, like a madman,

Led the whole village to storm my castle

And then burn it.

- You attended the drama?

- I protest

Against using the word "drama". "Just Revenge" would be the term.

- Seeing you on this bench, master Fongrave ,

I knew I had to arm myself patience.

- I congratulate you,

Mr. Chairman.

Or experience certain events will help you.

- Would that my patient is the measure of your insolence.

- And that of the Earl of Nansac, Mr. Chairman!

For in surprised seeing his misfortunes,

Could give him the good God without confession.

But who, if not him

Pushed by its hardness, his dishonesty, his crimes

Villagers to revolt? Who if not him...

- We're not

Pleadings, master.

And there, your insolence spent the limits of my patience.

Go, count.

- I saw everything, Mr. Chairman.

After being beaten savagely

I was tied up in court as a beast and mine,

So that supreme refinement, we lose nothing of the show

Our misfortune.

All my life

I was pursued by the hatred of Ferral.

The father robbed. He killed my manager.

This man, then child, burned my forest.

I represented all that he could never admit:

Property, order, the renovated company

He was poisoned by the revolutionary

Had been his father.

- In me no anger.

I rejoiced even see the wolf become sheep.

- I cry.

I hope Councillor vote him an annuity.

Oh, you! It has made a bet, then household me.

You bet your acquittal?

No, but by the end of the year, the king...

- Then came the prosecution witnesses.

- But finally! Were you there or not?

- Where to, Mr. Chairman? - To power the castle?

Ah, I was there!

Tell us what you saw.

- Everything! - Any what?

- I saw the village take the castle.

- You saw him shoot these madmen?

- Which? The Nansac?

- No! Let's see! Jacquou and others!

- No, Mr. Chairman. - How, "no"?

- I have not seen them.

- You were there? - Yes, but I do not know who fired.

- Good. Who set the fire?

- Ah, I do not know.

Laughter public.

- Silence!

How, "you do not know"? - I do not know.

- You are quoted by Count Nansac!

- Maybe, but I do not know.

Laughter public.

- Silence or I'll clear the room!

You can have.

- I discovered solidarity

And my heart was lifted recognition.

Then it was Dom Enjalbert.

It surpassed.

- It was like Satan.

Satan descended on Earth.

He took a sword in the parlor.

It banged Count all his might, pursued him.

He killed half and pushed us all into the yard.

And there, kicked, punched ...

It was awful. He ordered the looting.

- Pillage?

Where were you this time?

- I could save myself in the stables and...

- Where were you in the stables?

- That is to say... - Behind the fagots, trembling.

- But I do not tremble. I expected.

- But you were there!

Fifty people have seen you.

- Yes.

- Alors! How hidden behind your fagots,

Have you seen everything you talking about?

Laughter public.

- Silence!

If done recurs, I clear the room.

You're done, the canon? - No, Mr. Chairman.

I should add...

For a clergyman is...

That, Mr. President.

This man led Galiote

Our maid in his room

And there he comes upon her in acts

That decency forbids me to describe.

- You saw it?

- Oh no, Mr. Chairman. It was told me.

Laughter public.

- Silence!

Thank you, Mr. Canon.

We will summon Miss Nansac ,

To see if it is possible to corroborate your testimony.

Thank you, Mr. Canon.

You can have.

Silence!

Bailiff! Bring Miss Nansac.

- This was the only chance to the charge. What would she say?

I looked Bertille.

His eyes told me: "I hate It's a Nansac

.." I hate for you.

"I love you."

I could not detach my eyes .

I told him: "You're all I have left Be with me.."

- Your full name, age and quality?

- Genevieve Nansac,

18.

- You swear to tell the whole truth ?

Raise your right hand and say: "I swear."

- I can not say the truth. - Swear, miss.

- I swear.

- You had already met the accused before the fire?

- Yes.

- You know him?

- Yes.

- Tell us what you think of the accused.

- I have nothing to say. - Yet again ?

- I have nothing to say.

- But, you... you have an opinion?

- True! Who has no opinion?

You have one on me as I have one on you

But this has nothing to do with justice .

I just testify to facts.

- Yes.

You attended the attack your father's castle?

- Yes. Largely. - Good.

We will explain.

Who led the attack?

- Jacques Ferral, I thought.

- It seemed you but...

Is it your opinion or a specific fact?

- Precise done.

- Who opened the door of the court

To bring insurgents?

- There, I slept. I can not answer you.

- Who came to the head of the rebels

In the castle?

- Jacques Ferral.

- Who fought with your father?

- Jacques Ferral.

- Who set fire to the castle?

- I do not know. I was in my room.

- Jacques Ferral had driven you to your room?

- No.

He had ordered me to go.

- And he came to join you?

- Yes.

- Mademoiselle, we know how much it can be painful

Testify in such circumstances.

We can go in camera.

- I do not see the need.

- Good.

Jacques Ferral is mounted in your room?

- Yes.

- This comes on you to violence?

- Yes.

- And he tried to abuse you?

- No.

- But how, "no"?

- No.

- But miss, arriving in the courtyard

Your bet was defeated and you had blood on your face?

- If Jacques Ferral had abused me, I would say.

- Mademoiselle, I implore you.

Whatever may be your confusion,

Tell us the truth.

- I called whole.

I hate the accused.

I have no personal grievance against him .

- This is good.

Go sit down.

Silence!

- Then came the long hearing defense witnesses.

- No.

Jacques Ferral is not the only culprit.

He wanted to take everything on him, but we were with him.

- This I alone have fired.

- Forgive me for betraying you, but I can not.

I can not let you accuse

When the real culprit is !

- There is not to accuse the victim.

- It was he who, by his cruelty, led us to despair!

It has oppressed us, stolen,

Reduced for the benefit!

There is a month Mr. Chairman

He pushed his hunt in my wheat, which was lost!

With Jacquou we avenged.

And we regret nothing. Nothing!

- The long parade continued.

In a case where a lot of people are involved ,

It is rare that there is no scoundrels bought to betray

But here it did not happen.

No one flinched.

- I'm not fast enough was putting in its path.

His people killing my cattle dog.

Sigh public.

- Silence!

- As were all the story of their misery

I saw the nose of President lie.

- My daughter, Mr. Chairman...

A stormy day, they entered the house.

Those of the castle.

The son of Count and guards.

One evening, when they left,

They took my daughter, my teenage daughter .

She returned in the evening.

Sigh public.

- Silence!

Well, it's...

That's good. You can regain your place.

- A deep emotion had gripped the room.

The president seemed cornered.

It's almost relieved he greeted the knight.

- The next witness.

- Next witness!

- Ah! Chevalier.

Your full name, age and quality?

A man struck by misfortune!

But a worthy man,

And for that, can not lower his head.

Citizens, we do not want. You have to shoot them down!

So, gentlemen of the jury,

Count Nansac it Criminal sitting there on that bench

Tyrant crimes to go unpunished,

Will commit his latest plan.

He captured Ferral.

And as in the days of feudalism

He retreats into a low ditch ass

For there to be alive devoured by rats!

And there, for four days

Tortured by hunger and cold,

Ferral will fight against the vile death

Imagined by his enemy.

To get in front of life.
