1. I keep telling you, he's
just left to see Citizen Robespierre.Copy !req
2. Are you sure it's so urgent?Copy !req
3. Well, what is it about?Copy !req
4. I want to give him this.Copy !req
5. What is it?Copy !req
6. Evidence against a traitor!Copy !req
7. Lemaitre
to see Citizen Robespierre.Copy !req
8. Send Citizen Lemaitre in.Copy !req
9. Here is the complete and detailed list
of the recent executions, Citizen.Copy !req
10. Who is this, Lemaitre?Copy !req
11. A regional deputy visiting from
our southern province, Citizen.Copy !req
12. And as the province in question
is to be discussed,Copy !req
13. I thought the citizen could
make his report personally.Copy !req
14. I see. I am always prepared
to listen to a first-hand accountCopy !req
15. of a region's situation.Copy !req
16. I welcome the opportunity. Thank you.Copy !req
17. Before you question me, perhaps you
would like to hear my views on Paris?Copy !req
18. - When did you arrive?
- Just today.Copy !req
19. Hardly long enough for you to have
gauged the present mood of our capital.Copy !req
20. Oh, I wouldn't say that.Copy !req
21. I am only interested in your comments
on your own territory.Copy !req
22. Recent memoranda from your province
suggest that the purge of our enemiesCopy !req
23. in your region is progressing very slowly.Copy !req
24. Oh, you've reached that conclusion? Hmm.
Well, perhaps we have fewer enemiesCopy !req
25. in our region and it may be that Paris
can take an example from us, hmm?Copy !req
26. We in Paris are aware of the
danger, Citizen.Copy !req
27. We live in troubled times.
There is much, much work to be done,Copy !req
28. work that is constantly delayed
by the needCopy !req
29. to ferret out the traitors
that we harbour in our...Copy !req
30. Is there such a need,
Citizen Robespierre?Copy !req
31. Hmm? I mean, what can this
reign of terror possibly gain?Copy !req
32. For every opponent you put to the
guillotine, two more will spring up!Copy !req
33. I think you have said enough, Citizen.Copy !req
34. - Oh, you do, do you?
- Let him speak, Lemaitre.Copy !req
35. What he said is true.
My enemies do multiply.Copy !req
36. He is only warning me
of the dangers I face.Copy !req
37. As you wish, Citizen.Copy !req
38. I could, and I shall,
do great things for France.Copy !req
39. For too long the nobility
have kept our people to heel.Copy !req
40. And now finally my world is at power,
what happens?Copy !req
41. My colleagues, my trusted friends,
plot for power.Copy !req
42. Do they? Or is it just their wish
to keep their heads, hmm?Copy !req
43. Danton planned to restore the monarchy.
I had the proof, I knew!Copy !req
44. I had to dispose of him.
And the Girondins.Copy !req
45. Even now, Convention members are
at work, plotting my downfall.Copy !req
46. But I will triumph, even if I have
to execute every last one of them!Copy !req
47. Death, always death!Copy !req
48. Do you think I want this carnage?Copy !req
49. Three hundred and forty-two executions
in nine days, in Paris alone.Copy !req
50. What a memory I shall leave behind
if this thing lasts.Copy !req
51. You must come again, Citizen.
We never did talk about your province.Copy !req
52. No we didn't, did we, and I was
so looking forward to it.Copy !req
53. It's a pity we talked so long
about Paris. Hmm?Copy !req
54. - Bring him with you tomorrow, Lemaitre.
- Yes, Citizen.Copy !req
55. - This will warm you.
- Thank you.Copy !req
56. - What is it?
- Just drink it all up.Copy !req
57. - Would you like something, Barbara?
- No, thank you.Copy !req
58. - I think I'd like some more wine.
- The wine is on the table.Copy !req
59. Thank you.Copy !req
60. I think I'll return to bed,
if you'll excuse me.Copy !req
61. Yes, of course.
I'm sorry we disturbed you.Copy !req
62. - One can't be friends with everybody.Copy !req
63. - How do you feel now?
- I'm all right, thanks.Copy !req
64. That's right. You try and get some rest.
I'll be here if you want me.Copy !req
65. I wish I knew for certain what it was.Copy !req
66. She could have caught almost anything
in that jail.Copy !req
67. We've done all we can, Barbara.Copy !req
68. Yes, but is it enough?Copy !req
69. When I went upstairs,
she'd kicked off all her clothesCopy !req
70. and was shivering with cold.Copy !req
71. I was so worried, I thought
I'd better bring her down here.Copy !req
72. - It's probably just a chill.
- Yes, but what if it's worse?Copy !req
73. Well, we could call a physician,
but it would be dangerous.Copy !req
74. They report almost everything
to the militia these days,Copy !req
75. if only to save their own necks.Copy !req
76. Yes, well, that's a risk
we'll have to take.Copy !req
77. You must know someone we could trust.Copy !req
78. Yes. Yes, I think I do.Copy !req
79. Good.
That's settled, then. She's asleep.Copy !req
80. Good. I wonder what's happened to Jules?
He should have been back before this.Copy !req
81. Oh. Well, if you have to go,
we'll be all right here.Copy !req
82. - Are you sure?
- Yes, of course.Copy !req
83. I know you didn't intend to stay so long.Copy !req
84. I think I'd better go.Copy !req
85. I shall need time
to arrange for the physician.Copy !req
86. We'll see you tomorrow?Copy !req
87. If I can't come back,
I'll send a message. You'll tell Jules?Copy !req
88. Yes. And be careful, Leon.Copy !req
89. I will. We'll meet again, Barbara.
And soon.Copy !req
90. I thought you were asleep.Copy !req
91. No, just dozing.Copy !req
92. Want to go back to bed now?Copy !req
93. You like Leon, don't you?Copy !req
94. Come on, I'll help you upstairs.Copy !req
95. Now, let us just have a look at him.Copy !req
96. It's a pity we had to hit him so hard.Copy !req
97. Well, the streets are filled with soldiers.Copy !req
98. He only had to call out
and we'd have been arrested.Copy !req
99. If he is against us, yes.
I wonder who he is?Copy !req
100. No, far from it. I'd say you createdCopy !req
101. a favourable impression
on Citizen Robespierre.Copy !req
102. I didn't say half the things I wanted
to say. He twisted my words.Copy !req
103. Politicians usually do. Still, you
are going to have another opportunity.Copy !req
104. Oh, I think not. No, no, no, no.Copy !req
105. Your hospitality has been
most successful, and most accepted.Copy !req
106. No, I think I must bid you goodbye
and leave you.Copy !req
107. That would be rather difficult, Citizen.
Robespierre is expecting you tomorrow.Copy !req
108. - Then convey my apologies to him.
- On the contrary.Copy !req
109. It would be more than my neck is worth
to disobey such an order.Copy !req
110. - You must try and stay.
- It's out of the question!Copy !req
111. Oh, but I insist.Copy !req
112. Jailer!Copy !req
113. Lemaitre.
- Arrange suitable accommodationCopy !req
114. for our citizen guest.Copy !req
115. Of course, Citizen, of course.
For how long?Copy !req
116. He will be staying at least
until tomorrow night.Copy !req
117. Definitely no longer.Copy !req
118. He can have one of the soldiers' rooms.Copy !req
119. I'll throw them out.
Oh, Citizen, just one thing.Copy !req
120. There's a man waiting to see you.
It's very important.Copy !req
121. I trust the room will be
to your satisfaction?Copy !req
122. I'm sure it will be.Copy !req
123. Well? You wanted to see me?Copy !req
124. Yes, Citizen Lemaitre.Copy !req
125. I think I may have
some information for you.Copy !req
126. If you're ready, Citizen,
I'll show you your room.Copy !req
127. Oh, that's all right, Jailer.
I don't think I shall stay after all.Copy !req
128. - Eh?
- No, I'm sure. Lemaitre will understand.Copy !req
129. It's a pity that I asked him to put me up.Copy !req
130. Besides, those poor soldiers
will need their rest.Copy !req
131. It doesn't matter about them.Copy !req
132. Nevertheless, I must be on my way.
I have a long journey.Copy !req
133. So kindly give my regards to Lemaitre.Copy !req
134. Citizen!Copy !req
135. And just what do you think
you are doing, jailer? Hmm?Copy !req
136. Lemaitre said you were staying.
I must obey him.Copy !req
137. And what do you think he'll say
when he hears you delayed me, hmm?Copy !req
138. I'm sorry, Citizen, I'm sorry.Copy !req
139. But he comes back and finds you gone,
it could be even worse.Copy !req
140. Very well, I'll stay then.Copy !req
141. And I shall say nothing
of this disgraceful behaviour,Copy !req
142. if only for your sake.Copy !req
143. Thank you, Citizen, thank you. This way.Copy !req
144. Your story is that this white-haired
old gentleman exchanged clothesCopy !req
145. and this ring, and that
you also gave him writing materials.Copy !req
146. And the sash, Citizen.Copy !req
147. It was when he took the insignia
of a Regional Officer of the ProvincesCopy !req
148. that I became, well, suspicious.Copy !req
149. Yes, so you said.Copy !req
150. Of course, I realise it may be nothing
but it was my duty to report it.Copy !req
151. You did well, Citizen.Copy !req
152. Will you be keeping the ring
and the clothes, Citizen?Copy !req
153. - They may be needed as evidence.
- Oh. Yes.Copy !req
154. Of course, you realise they
were part of the exchange.Copy !req
155. I'm a poor man, Citizen, and normally
I'd have thrown him out of my shop.Copy !req
156. This should more than compensate.Copy !req
157. Thank you, Citizen!Copy !req
158. Although I cannot accept a reward
for what, after all, was my duty.Copy !req
159. Keep it, on one condition.Copy !req
160. Anything, Citizen.Copy !req
161. - You will say nothing of this to anyone.
- You have my word.Copy !req
162. Leave this way.Copy !req
163. - I don't want you seen in the prison.
- Thank you, Citizen, thank you.Copy !req
164. He's coming round.Copy !req
165. I'm sorry we were so long, Barbara.
We had to carry him all the way,Copy !req
166. dodging patrols all the time.Copy !req
167. How's Susan?Copy !req
168. Oh, she has a slight fever,
but she's sleeping now.Copy !req
169. - Leon not here?
- No, he had to leave.Copy !req
170. No, he had to leave. He's arranging
for Susan to see a doctor...Copy !req
171. Ian!Copy !req
172. - Barbara!
- Ian!Copy !req
173. - Is Susan here, too?
- Yes, she's upstairs.Copy !req
174. But I thought you were both...
Oh, this is great.Copy !req
175. Any news of the Doctor?Copy !req
176. No. We don't even know
if he got to Paris.Copy !req
177. Well, we did not know when we left hereCopy !req
178. we were going to collect
one of your friends, Barbara.Copy !req
179. Ian, this is Jules. He saved our lives.Copy !req
180. - Not Jules Renan, by any chance?
- Yes.Copy !req
181. What? I've been looking for you.Copy !req
182. We heard that somebody was.
We did not know it was you.Copy !req
183. You can say that again.Copy !req
184. Hmm. We're very sorry about that.Copy !req
185. - Jean, this calls for a celebration.
- I'll get a bottle from the cellar.Copy !req
186. Come and sit over here,
you'll be more comfortable.Copy !req
187. I think I'd better go and sit with Susan.Copy !req
188. Oh?
- She isn't feeling at all well.Copy !req
189. What's wrong with her?Copy !req
190. Don't know. We're hoping to see
a doctor tomorrow.Copy !req
191. Although when she hears you're back,
that should be tonic enough.Copy !req
192. I know it is good news,
but I think it's best not to wake her.Copy !req
193. Oh no, I won't. She doesn't sleep
for very long anyway.Copy !req
194. Look, you have a talk to Ian.Copy !req
195. Sounded like an order.Copy !req
196. Well, there is one question
I would like to ask you.Copy !req
197. How did you know
Barbara and Susan were here?Copy !req
198. - I didn't.
- But I thoughtCopy !req
199. when you were asking for me...Copy !req
200. That was for an entirely different reason.Copy !req
201. - You know a man called Webster?
- No.Copy !req
202. I shared a cell with him in prison.Copy !req
203. Unfortunately he died.Copy !req
204. He asked me to contact a man
called James Stirling.Copy !req
205. James Stirling. No, I'm afraid that name
means nothing to me, either.Copy !req
206. What? You mean to say
you don't know him?Copy !req
207. No. Should I?Copy !req
208. Well, I don't know. I somehow
took it for granted that you would.Copy !req
209. Perhaps you'd better tell me
the complete story.Copy !req
210. Yes.
- Over a glass of wine.Copy !req
211. Well, as far as I get it,
Webster was an EnglishmanCopy !req
212. who'd come over to France to
persuade Stirling to return to England.Copy !req
213. Stirling must be a spy.Copy !req
214. I'll share one drink,
then I must start my journey.Copy !req
215. Thank you. Yes, you should
leave before dawn.Copy !req
216. To your health, Ian.Copy !req
217. Well, as I told you, Webster was dying.Copy !req
218. Before he died, he begged me
to get a message to James Stirling.Copy !req
219. I asked him, how would I recognise him?Copy !req
220. And he told me to contact you
at the sign of Le Chien Gris.Copy !req
221. I see. Well, Webster is right there.
It is an inn that we frequent.Copy !req
222. - I'm sorry, please go on.
- No, that's all there is to say.Copy !req
223. Except that as I found Le Chien Gris,
you found me.Copy !req
224. Hmm. Did Webster know Stirling?Copy !req
225. - Oh, I imagine so.
- Probably by sight.Copy !req
226. But if, as you say, Stirling is a spy,Copy !req
227. to do his job properly he must
be able to move around freely.Copy !req
228. That would mean an alias,
a completely new identity.Copy !req
229. What, something that Webster
didn't know?Copy !req
230. Yes, exactly.Copy !req
231. So Webster was counting
on recognising him?Copy !req
232. Well, that makes good sense.Copy !req
233. Yes, well why did he ask me
to contact you?Copy !req
234. Men like Webster have been
in touch with me before.Copy !req
235. I imagine the English are giving me
as a contact to people they send overCopy !req
236. in case they need help.Copy !req
237. Ah. Well, that's not going to help me
find Stirling, is it?Copy !req
238. What's the matter, eh?Copy !req
239. I'm not sure I like the idea
of being used by the English.Copy !req
240. You shouldn't either, Jules. We're at war!Copy !req
241. And they're our enemies,
and here we are helping their spies.Copy !req
242. England is at war with the people
ruling France, Jean. So are we.Copy !req
243. When the tyranny ends, so will the war.Copy !req
244. I suppose the chances
of finding Stirling are pretty slim.Copy !req
245. - We can try.
- Good.Copy !req
246. Now, you have a few days to spare,
is that correct?Copy !req
247. - Oh, do I?
- Oh, I'm sorry, I haven't told you.Copy !req
248. Jean is leaving soon to search
for the fourth member of your party.Copy !req
249. - Susan's grandfather.
- You know where he is?Copy !req
250. No, but he will start at the house
where you were arrestedCopy !req
251. and follow the trail from there,
won't you, Jean?Copy !req
252. - Yes, I will find him.
- And while we wait,Copy !req
253. we shall also search, for Stirling.Copy !req
254. Providing you have no objection, Jules,
I'll start my journey now.Copy !req
255. - No objections.
- You'll hear from me within three days.Copy !req
256. - Take care, Jean.
- Ian.Copy !req
257. Good luck, and thanks.Copy !req
258. If anyone can find him, Jean can.Copy !req
259. Now to our problem.
I wonder who can help us?Copy !req
260. Of course, there is one man. Leon.Copy !req
261. A friend of yours?Copy !req
262. We've shared many escapades.Copy !req
263. He moves in a very wide circle
and knows a great many people.Copy !req
264. Perhaps he is James Stirling?Copy !req
265. I'd like to meet him. Can you arrange it?Copy !req
266. Very easily, he's coming here tomorrow,
bringing a physician for Susan.Copy !req
267. Good! This calls for another drink.Copy !req
268. Oh, Barbara, just in time.Copy !req
269. - Susan?
- Yes. I'm afraid she's getting worse.Copy !req
270. Hmm!Copy !req
271. Good morning, Citizen.
I hope you slept well?Copy !req
272. I did not! The bed was hardCopy !req
273. and the draught blew through
the room like the north wind!Copy !req
274. - I'm sorry.
- Yes, I dare say you are!Copy !req
275. But if I catch rheumatism,
apologies won't cure it. Will it, hmm?Copy !req
276. Better feed the pigs.Copy !req
277. Most appropriate.Copy !req
278. Come, we'll have breakfast.Copy !req
279. And your time
may not be wasted, Citizen.Copy !req
280. I've got a feeling that it will
be quite an eventful day.Copy !req
281. A message from Leon.
The physician won't come here.Copy !req
282. Thank you.Copy !req
283. But we must do something for Susan.Copy !req
284. Well, if Danielle says
the physician won't come here,Copy !req
285. Susan must be taken to him, that's all.Copy !req
286. I'll arrange for a carriage to take them.Copy !req
287. Let me go with Susan.Copy !req
288. No, I think it'll look less suspiciousCopy !req
289. if two women were to go.Copy !req
290. Yes, the physician is reasonably near.Copy !req
291. Yes, Barbara can take her.Copy !req
292. I've just found them.
I don't want to lose them again.Copy !req
293. That's quite understandable.Copy !req
294. But there's no reason for you
to fear for your safety.Copy !req
295. Besides, there's your meeting with Leon.Copy !req
296. - Yes, but you haven't arranged it yet.
- I can.Copy !req
297. Ian, it'll all be over by today.
You'll be able to leave together.Copy !req
298. It'll be quicker this way.Copy !req
299. Well, I don't like it this way but...Copy !req
300. Good. I'll go and fetch
Barbara and Susan.Copy !req
301. Let's hope we can trust the physician!Copy !req
302. Yes, you appear to have a feverish
chill, but it's nothing very serious.Copy !req
303. Well, that's a relief.Copy !req
304. All the same,
I'm surprised at your condition.Copy !req
305. Tell me, have you, have you any idea
how you came to catch it?Copy !req
306. No, none.Copy !req
307. Hmm, your symptoms would suggest that
you haven't been looking after yourself.Copy !req
308. Well, I've done nothing unusual.Copy !req
309. Yes. Has she been eating properly?Copy !req
310. Oh, she has an enormous appetite.Copy !req
311. Look, doctor, if you could,
well, give her something?Copy !req
312. We appreciate your time's valuable.
We've no wish to delay you.Copy !req
313. Quite so, quite so. There's another thing,Copy !req
314. your, er, your hands,
they're very blistered, aren't they?Copy !req
315. We've been doing some gardening.
- Doctor, can you help her?Copy !req
316. Yes, I'll treat her.
It's a simple matter of blood-letting.Copy !req
317. Unfortunately, I shall have to go out
and collect some leeches.Copy !req
318. You called rather early.Copy !req
319. I was on my way to collect them
first thing this morning.Copy !req
320. But you're welcome to wait.Copy !req
321. Well, maybe it would be better
if we came back.Copy !req
322. Come back? No, no, no. I shall be out
all day. You'll have to wait.Copy !req
323. But please, make yourselves comfortable.Copy !req
324. Barbara, I don't like himCopy !req
325. and I can't stand the thought
of having leeches on me.Copy !req
326. I know, and I got the impression
that he suspected us.Copy !req
327. Come on, let's go.Copy !req
328. It's locked!Copy !req
329. Get a move on. They'll be out of Paris
if you don't hurry up!Copy !req
330. If I'm wrong, there'll be no
repercussions, will there, Citizen?Copy !req
331. Don't worry. From what you've told me,
it's the escaped prisoners, all right.Copy !req
332. The soldiers will go with you.Copy !req
333. All you've got to do is to point them out.Copy !req
334. Yes, yes, I'd better hurry back.Copy !req
335. Go with the physician.
Right turn. Quick march.Copy !req
336. Oh, this door's stronger than it looks.Copy !req
337. He's been gone ages.
He'll be back soon.Copy !req
338. There's someone coming.Copy !req
339. There they are.Copy !req
340. Barbara and Susan aren't back yet.Copy !req
341. They'll be all right. It is not unusual
to be kept waiting at the physician.Copy !req
342. Well, I've got a feeling
something's gone wrong.Copy !req
343. Now, don't worry, Ian.Copy !req
344. - I've arranged your meeting with Leon.
- Oh, he can wait.Copy !req
345. If it'll make you any happier,
I'll go and fetch Barbara and Susan.Copy !req
346. Now, if you want to see Leon,
you must hurry.Copy !req
347. He moves around a great deal.
It may be your only chance.Copy !req
348. But you'll leave immediately?Copy !req
349. Yes, of course I will.
Leon is at a disused church.Copy !req
350. You're to go alone.
I've explained some of the story.Copy !req
351. Ah, so he's not James Stirling.Copy !req
352. No. I'll draw a map for you.
It will help you find the way.Copy !req
353. So, you thought you'd escaped.Copy !req
354. Well, we're not as big a fools
as you take us for.Copy !req
355. That's Lemaitre.
Two recaptured prisoners.Copy !req
356. Barbara, what do you think
they're talking about?Copy !req
357. I don't know, but we'll
find out soon enough.Copy !req
358. I'll see that your orders
are carried out, Citizen.Copy !req
359. Take the girl to the cells.Copy !req
360. No! Barbara!Copy !req
361. Not you.Copy !req
362. You're wanted for questioning.Copy !req
363. Citizen Lemaitre thought you might like
to question this prisoner.Copy !req
