00:00:00The End
00:00:30Good night, my dear. Pleasant dreams.
00:01:00Stay with me tonight.
00:01:02It's long, madam.
00:01:05They're far too fatigued.
00:01:07Besides, I have a very early appointment in London tomorrow.
00:01:10I'd only disturb you.
00:01:12Your tailors, no doubt.
00:01:13Bootmakers, to be precise.
00:01:16We've pitched something monstrous.
00:01:19And I don't much care for the buckle.
00:01:21Oh, Percy.
00:01:23What has become of you?
00:01:24Oh, where is the man I married?
00:01:29Aunt Fishman did her.
00:01:32You're looking at him.
00:01:33No.
00:01:35No, what I see before me is a facade.
00:01:38The shell of a man I once knew.
00:01:41This is some absurd role you're playing.
00:01:43I don't know why.
00:01:44But I'm sure it is.
00:01:47Perhaps to keep the world at a distance.
00:01:51Only now you're shutting me out as well.
00:01:54You once promised me
00:01:56that I should come to know the man behind the mask.
00:02:00In time.
00:02:01I know him less now than I did then.
00:02:06Well.
00:02:09Perhaps there's no more to know.
00:02:11I can't believe that.
00:02:13I refuse to believe it.
00:02:17The man I fell in love with still exists somewhere.
00:02:23I shall never stop loving him.
00:02:27Never.
00:02:27Never.
00:02:31Never.
00:02:36Good night, my dear.
00:02:52Poor Sir Andrew, Chivers.
00:02:55Very good, sir.
00:02:59And for the courier,
00:03:00when he arrives.
00:03:01Yes.
00:03:25These were all the papers in the courier's pouch.
00:03:28Yes, it is.
00:03:31Sir.
00:03:31My young assistant
00:03:39is in league with the Scarlet Pimper, now, is it?
00:03:42You did well to intercept the courier.
00:03:49You did well to intercept the courier.
00:03:55Send for Armand Saint-Just.
00:03:57I fear for you in Paris.
00:03:58I fear for you in Paris.
00:04:03Oh, Percy, you do persuade him to give up his post and stay here.
00:04:06He could send for Louise.
00:04:07They could get married and live here in England.
00:04:09What a dreadful prospect.
00:04:10What a dreadful prospect.
00:04:10What has poor Armand done to be condemned to matrimony.
00:04:16Really, Percy, must you go on tormenting her like this?
00:04:31Yes.
00:04:32Are you never going to give her a chance to explain herself?
00:04:38No.
00:04:39No.
00:04:40Consider Armand.
00:04:41No.
00:04:42No.
00:04:43If it is true that she betrayed Sancier, she's capable of almost any treachery, even spying
00:04:49for Chauvelin.
00:04:50You must ask her.
00:04:51What proof have you in any of this?
00:04:55Not once, in all the time she's been in England, has she even attempted to contact Chauvelin?
00:05:01I dare not risk it.
00:05:04Nothing.
00:05:06No one is more important than the rescue of the Dauphin at this moment.
00:05:10Not even Marguerite.
00:05:12It grieves me to see her so unhappy.
00:05:15To know that you have ceased to love her.
00:05:17Ceased?
00:05:20I shall love her till the day I die.
00:05:26That is the tragedy.
00:05:29But come.
00:05:31I shall ride with you to Dover.
00:05:33There's much to talk about.
00:05:34Why is Chauvelin sending you to Paris now?
00:05:37I don't like it.
00:05:39However, perhaps with you in Paris we can create the incident that we need to make our move.
00:05:50Well, this is indeed a surprise.
00:06:07Not too unpleasant, I trust.
00:06:09trust i haven't seen you since you came to london what brings you here now it's a good likeness
00:06:16especially the eyes he's caught the flash and fire of the eyes although he's missed the sadness
00:06:25sadness apparently the artist has not perceived what all of london has already guessed
00:06:30and what might that be that the lady is unhappy in her marriage
00:06:35a man in your position should not listen to gossip look at me and tell me that your husband is man
00:06:43enough to make you happy have you come here to be impertinent if the truth is impertinent you're a
00:06:50woman of great passion you deserve a man who can satisfy your desires and are you suggesting that

00:07:23you go everywhere you see everything and hear everything easy my friend are you asking me to
00:07:29spy for you no for france what you propose is deplorable whoever the man may be he is brave
00:07:38noble and compassionate you refuse then did you really believe that i would help you
00:07:48after you maliciously implicated me in the death of the marquis de saint cyr and his family
00:07:52i would rather go to your beloved guillotine would you have your brother go in your place
00:07:59armand what a joke he is in league with the scarlet pimpernel well that's preposterous i have

00:08:16consider carefully i expect your decision this evening at the lord grinville's ball
00:08:25in the meantime i advise you to keep silent say nothing of this to anyone
00:08:28not even to that fool you called your husband
00:08:41and when you minister to the student額 would you辦 this evening as quick to have young solitude
00:08:46you are not sure what youächen say like you should know you to go there
00:08:51you are not sure what dude
00:08:58but because we will play but not don't want to speak in the name meant to happen
00:09:02but you'd actually deny me that you just want to play so
00:10:05I've been daydreaming.
00:10:08How lovely you look.
00:10:13How long it has been since you've noticed me at all.
00:10:17A lot, madam.
00:10:17I'd have to be blind, not an artist.
00:10:23In that gown, you'll be the belle of the ball.
00:10:27But tell me, what was it you were dreaming about when I came in just now?
00:10:33Percy, you've known Sir Andrew for a long time, haven't you?
00:10:40We were at school together, my dear.
00:10:42Why do you ask?
00:10:43I was just wondering if he might not be the Scarlet Pimpernel.
00:10:50Andrew?
00:10:53Scarlet Pimpernel?
00:10:56Most unlikely, my dear.
00:10:57But tell me, why the sudden interest in the identity of the Scarlet Pimpernel?
00:11:02Oh, I have no more interest than any other woman in London.
00:11:06I'll wager your friend Chauvelin would give a great deal to know.
00:11:11If faith, I suspect that's the reason he came to England.
00:11:14I'm surprised he hasn't confided as much to you, my dear.
00:11:21To me?
00:11:23I haven't laid eyes on the man since he arrived.
00:11:27Although I'm sure you're right.
00:11:31Well, if anyone's going to catch the Scarlet Pimpernel,
00:11:37it will not be Chauvelin.
00:11:42And why is that?
00:11:45Why?
00:11:47Old fish, my dear.
00:11:48The man can't even tie his own cravat.
00:11:50Really, Percy, is that all you can think about?
00:11:54Why aren't you the kind of man a woman can look up to?
00:11:58Turned to in trouble?
00:12:00Trouble, my dear?
00:12:04Are you in trouble?
00:12:07And if I were?
00:12:09Well, you might try.
00:12:12Confiding in me.
00:12:14That's what you're used to.
00:12:18What is it used to?
00:12:20We don't even speak the same language anymore.
00:12:30Pardon, my dear.
00:12:31The career?
00:12:46Murdered.
00:12:50Come with me, Chalice.
00:12:51There can be no doubt, Monsieur Chauvelin knows about Armand.
00:13:02He must be warned.
00:13:03I want you to take this note to Lord Dewhurst.
00:13:07At once.
00:13:09Tell him to give it to Sir Andrew at the ball,
00:13:10and then destroy it.
00:13:11, that's what I've seen before heُ says.
00:13:17Nice job.
00:13:20Amen.
00:13:24Come with me, Chiou.
00:13:30I want to know this.
00:13:32I want to know this rồi.
00:13:33We will be according to Jesus.
00:13:34Amen.
00:13:35You want to know this.
00:13:35You should be in the school.
00:14:06His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, Sir Percival Blakeney and Lady Blakeney.
00:14:33Your Royal Highness.
00:14:35Lady Grenville. Of course, you know Sir Percival and Lady Blakeney. Lord Lady Grenville.
00:14:39My daughters, Elizabeth and Arabella.
00:14:41Charming. Really?
00:14:44Quite charming.
00:14:47Oh, continue. Please continue.
00:14:49Ah, the two lovebirds at last.
00:15:01Countess, here, you must have some champagne.
00:15:04Isn't it exciting?
00:15:06Andrew, here.
00:15:06I shall expect you to dance every dance with me.
00:15:11I must reserve at least one dance for him.
00:15:21Come on, Percy. Welcome to the point of the ladies.
00:15:23Well, if you seek me, I'm far too embarrassed.
00:15:25Oh.
00:15:26Won't you insist?
00:15:30The Scarlet Pimpernel by Sir Percival Blakeney.
00:15:34Baronet.
00:15:35Bravo!
00:15:36No, no, no, no, that's just the title.
00:15:38They seek him here.
00:15:43They seek him there.
00:15:45Those Frenchies seek him everywhere.
00:15:49Is he in heaven?
00:15:51Or is he in hell?
00:15:55That damned, elusive Pimpernel.
00:15:59Oh, well, this is commendable, Percy.
00:16:03It really is most commendable.
00:16:04I don't know how you did it.
00:16:06Well, the pretty thing rhymes in four places.
00:16:08Don't you see?
00:16:10And if a rhyme rhymes, it makes a poem.
00:16:13If you follow me.
00:16:15As it were crystal clear.
00:16:17My dear.
00:16:20May it please your royal highness, your graces,
00:16:23my lords, ladies and gentlemen,
00:16:26pray take your places for the minuet.
00:16:27You must have been so terrible for me.
00:16:29Lady Blakeney, would you do me the honor?
00:16:38With your permission.
00:16:39Don't forget, Monsieur Chauvelin,
00:16:41the jig is mine.
00:16:45The French are such superb dancers.
00:16:56Have you made your decision?
00:16:57You leave me little choice.
00:17:05What do you want me to do?
00:17:09Your friend Sir Andrew Fuchs has a note tucked in his sleeve.
00:17:15Find out what it says.
00:17:17But how?
00:17:29I leave that to your ingenuity as a consummate actress.
00:17:32You know, you really should be dancing with her yourself, my dear fellow.
00:17:44You'll forgive me, sir, but I do find the minuet, rather tedious.
00:18:01In that case, what about that game of hazard you promised me?
00:18:04Splendid.
00:18:05Splendid.
00:18:05But I must warn you, sir,
00:18:07I do feel devilish lucky tonight.
00:18:10Well, damn this shit.
00:18:12It's too-
00:18:22I don't know.
00:18:22It's too-
00:18:26Ray, take your places for the Allemans.
00:18:38You mustn't monopolize him, Suzanne.
00:18:41Otherwise, everyone will think you're afraid he'll stray.
00:18:43Come along, Andrew.
00:18:56Come along, Andrew.
00:19:26Are you all right?
00:19:33Marguerite.
00:19:34I think it's just the heat.
00:19:41Thank you, Andrew.
00:19:44I don't know what came over me.
00:19:45Perhaps I ought to fetch Percy.
00:19:47No, don't leave me.
00:19:49I only need to close my eyes for an actor, too.
00:19:56I don't know.
00:20:02How clever of you.
00:20:19almost as good as a burnt feather for giddiness
00:20:23there
00:20:25I almost feel better already
00:20:28oh dear
00:20:29oh let me do it
00:20:31there's no harm done
00:20:34one moment more
00:20:47and I might have known the lady's name
00:20:49lady
00:20:50or a duchess perhaps
00:20:52for shame Andrew
00:20:54entertaining love notes
00:20:56from secret admirers
00:20:58behind Suzanne's back
00:21:01what will she say
00:21:06there was only a fragment left by the time I got to it
00:21:16could you make anything out
00:21:18it said leave for France tonight
00:21:20meet me in the library at midnight for your instructions
00:21:23and the signature how was it signed
00:21:25it was not signed
00:21:26it was only the symbol of a small flower
00:21:29the scarlet pimper now
00:21:31in the library at midnight
00:21:35you've done well my dear
00:21:38very well indeed
00:21:41remarkable how we compliment each other
00:21:45but then we always did
00:21:48so this is where you're hiding
00:21:50you promised me the next jig you naughty boy
00:21:53forgive me my dear
00:21:54I shall return him shortly
00:21:56hey
00:21:56oh yeah
00:21:59oh yeah
00:22:21Do not turn around.
00:22:43You must not turn around.
00:22:47The Scarlet Pimpernel.
00:22:51How did you know I was here?
00:22:57I tricked Sir Andrew and read your note.
00:23:00Why did you come?
00:23:02To warn you.
00:23:04The Chauvelin knows that you'll be in this room at midnight.
00:23:07You told him?
00:23:09I had to.
00:23:11To save my brother.
00:23:14He threatened to have Armand arrested unless I helped him to discover your identity.
00:23:19Why are you doing this now?
00:23:21Because I could never live with myself knowing that I was responsible for your death.
00:23:25What is one more life to you?
00:23:27Why do you have the Marquis de Saint-Cyr and his family to your credit?
00:23:30That's not true.
00:23:33Chauvelin deceived me.
00:23:35Because I spanned him for another.
00:23:38He maliciously put my name on the arrest warrant as informer.
00:23:44I could never have sent the Marquis and his family to their deaths.
00:23:49Any more than I can now let you die.
00:23:53Because of me.
00:23:59If this is true, you are a very brave woman for coming in.
00:24:06I'm a fool.
00:24:08If Chauvelin finds out, it could cost my brother's life.
00:24:12No harm will ever come to your brother, as long as I live.
00:24:17Can I believe that?
00:24:25I give you my word.
00:24:33I don't even know who you are.
00:24:35Won't you tell me?
00:24:37A phantom.
00:24:40My lady.
00:24:42Nothing more than a phantom.
00:24:44No.
00:24:45You're very real to me.
00:24:48As real as life itself.
00:24:51How strangely close you feel to me.
00:24:56You're so near.
00:25:00I can feel your warmth.
00:25:04Touch me.
00:25:06Touch me.
00:25:07So that I may know that you are real.
00:25:25Chauvelin!
00:25:27You must not find you here.
00:25:51Quickly.
00:25:52I will not find you here. Quickly.
00:25:54The window.
00:26:03But what if you...
00:26:22I will not find you.
00:26:52Is it possible?
00:26:55I will not find you.
00:27:04You will not find you.
00:27:14You are welcome.
00:27:16Percy! What happened? What was Chauvelin after?
00:27:43He was looking for the Scarlet Pimpernel.
00:27:46I pray he found a fool.
00:27:50But now we must take greater care than ever.
00:27:53Tony, we sail for France tonight.
00:27:55Right. Armand's life is in danger.
00:27:57What about the rest of us?
00:27:58I shall send word the moment it is safe for you to join us.
00:28:01My yacht is anchored at Dover, and we must sail with the tide.
00:28:04What shall I tell Marguerite?
00:28:07Tell her I love her more than ever.
00:28:13Paul, you're leaving. Does that mean you're satisfied?
00:28:20I could not be more delighted, my dear.
00:28:22I sail tomorrow for France, where I shall finish the Scarlet Pimpernel once and for all.
00:28:28Then you found out what you wanted to know.
00:28:31Everything.
00:28:32Oh, by the way, my dear, I found this in the library.
00:28:35Oh, careless of you to have dropped it.
00:28:38Paul, what about our bargain?
00:28:42Oh, you'll have your brother back alive.
00:28:45Only when I have caught the Scarlet Pimpernel.
00:28:48Here or in France.
00:28:50Think twice before you interfere again.
00:28:52Shivers, where's Sir Percy? I must speak to him at once.
00:29:15He's gone, my lady.
00:29:17Gone? Where to?
00:29:19There's a note for you in the library.
00:29:40North country in the middle of the night. How bizarre.
00:29:44The Scarlet Pimpernel.
00:30:07Percy.
00:30:09Oh, God, what have I done?
00:30:12She mollycoddles the boy.
00:30:16A pillow for his royal head.
00:30:18Shoes for his royal feet.
00:30:20Necks she'll be turning over the crowd, little brat.
00:30:22What can you expect from a woman, citizen sans-shoes?
00:30:25Her heart's as soft as her head.
00:30:27But I can assure you, Madame Duval is as trustworthy as her husband.
00:30:30Trustworthy?
00:30:31I'm not so sure either is trustworthy.
00:30:33I hear the man is in debt, and that makes him ripe for bribery.
00:30:39Bribery?
00:30:40Well, those bent on rescuing the boy would be willing to pay handsomely.
00:30:45Duval and his wife will be replaced as soon as possible.
00:30:49Very wise.
00:30:51But death.
00:30:52Robbing my eyes of light will give back to the sun its untarnished purity.
00:31:05A word, my friend.
00:31:09Will it wait?
00:31:11Mademoiselle Longer.
00:31:12I have received information that Chauvelin has sent a secret communique from London concerning
00:31:18you.
00:31:19Concerning me?
00:31:20Chauvelin knows that you are in league with the Scarlet Pimpernel.
00:31:23I?
00:31:24In league with the Scarlet Pimpernel?
00:31:26Oh, really, Baron?
00:31:28Someone has been teasing you.
00:31:30Ah, you're playing a very dangerous game, Monsieur Armand Sanchez.
00:31:34Now, why not tell your Scarlet Pimpernel to leave the rescue of the Dauphin to the French
00:31:40royalists?
00:31:41After all, they have a far more legitimate claim to him than the English have.
00:31:44If I knew the identity of the Scarlet Pimpernel, and I do not, he would laugh in my face.
00:31:52You must know you want the boy for yourself.
00:31:54Aye.
00:31:55So that you can collect the gold that awaits you in Vienna when you deliver the heir to
00:31:59the French throne to your Austrian friends.
00:32:03Hmm?
00:32:05And did the Scarlet Pimpernel tell you that?
00:32:07Of course not.
00:32:08He's not even in Paris.
00:32:12Thank you for your word of warning, Baron.
00:32:14And now, if you'll excuse me, I don't like to keep Mademoiselle Longer waiting.
00:32:22Open!
00:32:23In the name of the Republic!
00:32:25The very idea of disturbing, decent citizens with all that noise.
00:32:29Where is Mademoiselle Longer?
00:32:31Where is Mademoiselle Longer?
00:32:32Where else would she be at this ungodly hour?
00:32:33In her boudoir.
00:32:38Why, it's Alphonse Ponceau!
00:32:39Forgive me, my dear, but he insisted.
00:32:40Well, that's quite all right, Aunt Lulu.
00:32:41Monsieur Ponceau and I are old friends.
00:32:43It's a triflelly for a social call, Monsieur.
00:32:44This is not a social call, Mademoiselle.
00:32:45That was all right.
00:32:46It's in there, oh, it's no one right.
00:32:50Why, it's Alphonse Ponceau.
00:33:02Forgive me, my dear, but he insisted.
00:33:04Well, that's quite all right, Aunt Lulu.
00:33:06Monsieur Ponceau and I are old friends.
00:33:08It's a trifle early for a social call, monsieur.
00:33:10This is not a social call, mademoiselle.
00:33:13I am here to arrest the man in your boudoir.
00:33:18Oh, there must be some mistake.
00:33:21Arrest? Citizen Saint-Just?
00:33:23The warrant was signed by Citizen Chauvelin himself
00:33:27when he returned from London this very morning.
00:33:31He means to arrest his own superior,
00:33:33a man as important as Citizen Robespierre.
00:33:36Superior?
00:33:38You did say you were here to arrest Louis Saint-Just.
00:33:40Louis Saint-Just.
00:33:42I am to arrest Armand Saint-Just.
00:33:45See here.
00:33:47Oh, that explains it.
00:33:49The gentleman in my boudoir is not Armand Saint-Just but Louis, his distinguished cousin.
00:33:56What do you mean to say in that room at this moment?
00:33:58Sleep's one of the most powerful men in France.
00:34:01Well, unless all the passes disturbed him, shall I go and see him?
00:34:03No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:34:04Why disturb the good citizen if he's asleep?
00:34:05I'll just leave quietly, no need even to mention this little incident.
00:34:11Such a busy man, so many important things on his mind, right?
00:34:15If you, please, just forget, I was here a silly misunderstanding, that's all.
00:34:20Come along, you idiots.
00:34:25How ingenious.
00:34:27You're wonderful.
00:34:28When he realises his mistake, he'll be back.
00:34:31You must leave Paris immediately.
00:34:33Not without you.
00:34:34You're coming with me to England.
00:34:36Be ready at midday tomorrow, and I'll return to fetch you then.
00:34:40It's too dangerous.
00:34:41They'll be watching the house.
00:34:42Meet me at the theatre.
00:34:43Now go!
00:34:44No, not that way.
00:34:49They'll be watching the house.
00:34:50Go to the roof.
00:34:54Until midday.
00:35:07Imbecile, Louis Saint-Just is as celibate as a monk.
00:35:10I doubt whether he's slept with his own wife in ten years.
00:35:13She's taken you for the fool you are.
00:35:16I shall return at once and make the arrest.
00:35:18Oh, he's long gone by now.
00:35:19But don't you think...
00:35:20I'll handle this myself, ponceau.
00:35:22But I really think...
00:35:23Get out.
00:35:33Go to the residence of Mademoiselle Lange.
00:35:35Inform me the minute Armand Saint-Just shows his face.
00:35:38Armand Saint-Just.
00:35:43Duval, the Dauphin's jailer, and his wife will be replaced tomorrow.
00:35:48So, at long last, we can make our move.
00:35:52Thanks to you, my dear Armand.
00:35:54Now listen carefully.
00:35:56The boy will be brought to the rendezvous point outside Paris.
00:36:00Here.
00:36:01Where Armand will be waiting, precisely at midday.
00:36:04The timing is crucial.
00:36:06One slip, and we can have half the revolutionary force of France on our heels.
00:36:10From there, he will be taken to the transfer point,
00:36:14where Tony will be waiting with the horses.
00:36:16Tony takes him on to Mont Saint-Pierre,
00:36:18whilst you ride on to Calais.
00:36:20You bring the yacht to the rendezvous point.
00:36:24Here.
00:36:26Where you wait.
00:36:28Only until the boy is safely on board.
00:36:31And then on the first available tide, sail for England.
00:36:34Where you, my dear Armand, must stay.
00:36:37It is no longer safe for you in Paris.
00:36:39Well, is it safe for any of us?
00:36:41You took an oath of unquestioning obedience when you joined us.
00:36:43But I gave my word to Louise.
00:36:45It is your word to the League that concerns me now.
00:36:48Percy, let me go back and bring her to England.
00:36:52Out of the question.
00:36:54How can you be so unfeeling?
00:36:56You don't even know the meaning of love.
00:37:02You must learn to trust me, my friend.
00:37:04Do not trouble your head with thoughts of Louise.
00:37:15I will see that she is safe.
00:37:19Will you bring her back to England?
00:37:22I give you my word.
00:37:26Now, get some rest.
00:37:30By the way,
00:37:31you were wrong
00:37:33about my not knowing the meaning of love.
00:37:37Quite wrong.
00:37:46I should never have allowed you to come along.
00:37:48It's far too dangerous.
00:37:49I would gladly face any danger to save Percy.
00:37:52I love him more than life itself.
00:37:54I know that now.
00:37:55I can only pray that I'm doing the right thing.
00:37:57Had you hesitated,
00:37:58he would surely have gone to the guillotine.
00:38:02Look.
00:38:03Calais.
00:38:06We'll land by nightfall.
00:38:31Aren't you going to stop him?
00:38:38Aren't you going to stop him?
00:38:43No.
00:39:01No.
00:39:02No.
00:39:03No.
00:39:04No.
00:39:05No.
00:39:06No.
00:39:07No.
00:39:08Right?
00:39:10Giddy up.
00:39:16Saron?
00:39:17Saron!
00:39:18Saron!
00:39:20Take care of that chair.
00:39:22That belonged to my grandmother.
00:39:26Citizen Saron.
00:39:27Ceyron, to you.
00:39:30This way.
00:39:37Well, now, welcome to the brat.
00:39:39Let's see how long the next man lasts.
00:39:41Come on, let's get out of here.
00:39:42What about the rest of our furniture?
00:39:44Oh, the lack of your manage.
00:39:45You're giving him the gate pass and the address.
00:39:48Yeah, yeah, I know, I know.
00:39:49Rude it back, St. Cloud.
00:39:51Now, you make sure you get there full dark.
00:39:54All right.
00:39:57As soon as a lackey has the apartment clear,
00:40:12you and your wife can move your things in, citizen Shullo.
00:40:21Well, make way, then.
00:40:22Make way.
00:40:24Madame Duval's precious China, this is.
00:40:26Yeah.
00:40:27Mm-hm.
00:40:28Mm-hm.
00:40:47Mm-hmm.
00:40:51Mm-hm.
00:40:53Get up there.
00:41:11These will be your quarters.
00:41:15And in here, you'll find a brat.
00:41:19I warn you, there's a handful.
00:41:23You leap to me and my missus.
00:41:25He'll toe the line, he will.
00:41:28Papers.
00:41:34This pass is signed by Citizen Fouquet.
00:41:38The governor of the temple prison.
00:41:40The very same, Sergeant.
00:41:42The very same.
00:41:44Right. Pass.
00:41:46Gates!
00:41:53You had specific instructions to inform me if there was to be any change in the jailer.
00:42:02Oh, my word, Citizen.
00:42:03He was sleeping like a babe in our summer, my lieutenant.
00:42:05Just as he is now.
00:42:06Look for yourself.
00:42:10I prompted you to make this sudden change.
00:42:13Why would I receive your warning about you, Bob?
00:42:15I gave no warning.
00:42:16It's unjust.
00:42:19Let's open it.
00:42:20Let's open it!
00:42:20Oh, my God.
00:42:50Would you like to see some magic?
00:43:13Huh?
00:43:17All right, then.
00:43:19Watch this.
00:43:20Let that be a lesson to you, sir.
00:43:51Never take anyone for granted.
00:43:55Guys!
00:43:58Get away!
00:43:59Down on the floor, sir.
00:44:13We're in for a run.
00:44:14Get off!
00:44:17Oh, my God.
00:44:47Right, spread out and search the woods.
00:45:04They can't have gone far.
00:45:17They must have crossed the river.
00:45:20Search the other side.
00:45:21Good God, man, hold your fire.
00:45:49Percy!
00:45:50I've had my fair share for one day.
00:45:56You must take the boy on to Mont Saint-Pierre.
00:45:59Find some way to notify the captain of my ship that the plans have changed.
00:46:02Meanwhile, I'll return to Paris.
00:46:03My dear chap, you can't possibly...
00:46:05Armand didn't arrive.
00:46:06He must be in trouble.
00:46:08I cannot desert him now.
00:46:10Right, Percy.
00:46:11And up.
00:46:24Godspeed, Your Highness.
00:46:25What do you want?
00:46:52A gentleman asked me to give you this.
00:46:57Tell him it is safe to come in.
00:47:03She says it's safe.
00:47:21Quickly, Monsieur.
00:47:22Come with me.
00:47:22In there.
00:47:39Mademoiselle Langer.
00:48:01Please forgive him, Sir Percy.
00:48:06No matter.
00:48:08I, too, understand the strength of love.
00:48:20Good day, Sir Percy.
00:48:23I realize that your noblesse oblige would not permit you to abandon one of your men.
00:48:28I'm sorry, Percy.
00:48:42Sink me, if you aren't right, for a change.
00:48:48But then, two no-account fellows like us, in exchange for one royal prince, would seem to be a fair exchange.
00:48:56Don't you think, don't you think, amazing, how a mere lad can slip through your fingers so easily, hmm?
00:49:03I'll wager there'll be the devil to pay, when your committee of national security discovers that he left the country.
00:49:11Oh, has he left the country?
00:49:13My understanding was that there was some problem in getting away.
00:49:18No, no, no.
00:49:20It is done like this.
00:49:22Now's your chance.
00:49:24Oh!
00:49:25No, leave him!
00:49:26This is the prize I'm after!
00:49:27This is the prize I'm after!
00:49:42Very foolish, Sir Percy.
00:49:44Yes, sir.
00:49:47Noblesse oblige.
00:49:52Lady Blakeney, what a delightful surprise.
00:49:55I seriously doubt that.
00:49:57I had heard, unofficially, of course, that you were in Paris.
00:50:04Please, won't you take a seat?
00:50:06I shall make this brief.
00:50:08I'm here on behalf of my husband.
00:50:10This is a petition of clemency signed by the Prince of Wales.
00:50:13No, unless you wish me to take it to Robespierre himself.
00:50:18I demand that you let me see my husband at once.
00:50:22There's no need for all that.
00:50:26You had but to ask.
00:50:38You have a visitor.
00:50:43Marguerite.
00:50:54Alone, as you promised.
00:50:56Two minutes.
00:51:00Remember my conditions.
00:51:13Oh, my darling!
00:51:30How I prayed you would come.
00:51:44My darling, can you ever forgive me for doubting you?
00:51:46Oh, it is I who must beg your forgiveness.
00:51:50Chauvelin says that he will release you
00:51:52if you tell him the Dovans' whereabouts.
00:51:56If not...
00:51:58Oh, Percy, I couldn't bear to lose you now.
00:52:06He knew that your tears would be the worst possible torture.
00:52:11Tell them.
00:52:14Tell them what they want to know.
00:52:16My darling, I cannot.
00:52:18You must not ask me.
00:52:20Then we must find a way to get you out of this dreadful place.
00:52:26There may be a way.
00:52:28Now, listen carefully.
00:52:31There's not enough time to repeat anything.
00:52:33The life of the Dovans and all my men
00:52:35may depend upon your ability to execute my orders to the letter.
00:52:40Quickly, put this on.
00:52:43You will need it in order to carry out my instructions.
00:52:45Who would have imagined that one day I would be in league with the Scarlet Pimpernel?
00:52:53I was so sure he wanted the boy for England.
00:52:56He wants the boy to live.
00:52:59And you and I are the only guarantee of that.
00:53:02These orders will release the Dovans to your custody.
00:53:05Deliver them to Lord Anthony Dewhurst
00:53:07at the island fortress of Mont Saint-Pierre.
00:53:11After that, you have until tomorrow nightfall to get the boy across the border.
00:53:14But I need more time than that.
00:53:16There are arrangements to be made.
00:53:17The drive is long enough.
00:53:19Tomorrow at nightfall, I can offer you no more.
00:53:21At last, you're talking sense.
00:53:26One condition, my dear Schoenberg.
00:53:28My wife, her brother, and all my men
00:53:31must be guaranteed safe conduct back to England.
00:53:34As soon as I have the boy.
00:53:36Where is he?
00:53:38I'm afraid I cannot tell you that.
00:53:39I must lead you to him personally.
00:53:42My men will only release him in exchange for me.
00:53:45Agreed.
00:53:46A little matter of loyalty.
00:53:47You understand.
00:53:48Of course.
00:53:49One other matter.
00:53:51A change of linen.
00:53:53Perhaps.
00:53:54He takes you for a full chevalon.
00:53:56My dear Fouquet,
00:53:57if it becomes inevitable
00:53:58that I should take a ride in the tumbrel,
00:54:01I can assure you
00:54:02I intend to go
00:54:03properly dressed.
00:54:04He can scheme all he likes.
00:54:06Gar!
00:54:19Hostages.
00:54:21How noble you are.
00:54:22You are not the only one to scheme,
00:54:24Sir Percy.
00:54:25You and I will travel together.
00:54:27They will follow in the coach behind.
00:54:29Any trickery, my friend.
00:54:31And they die.
00:54:33All I ask is
00:54:35that you lead me to the boy.
00:54:36Madam de Bats, my lord.
00:55:02Louis!
00:55:03Your highness.
00:55:03This gentleman is the baron de Bats.
00:55:15He's going to take you across the northern frontier
00:55:17and from there into Austria.
00:55:19Your royal highness.
00:55:21You have many friends in my country
00:55:23who will help you to reclaim the throne
00:55:25that has been so cruelly denied you.
00:55:27I wish you both a safe journey.
00:55:36Godspeed!
00:55:37I wish you all a nice day.
00:55:38To be sure you are in the way,
00:55:39we are going to take you with me.
00:55:39Finally, let's do good.
00:55:40Let's get ready to be here.
00:55:41Let me make your Alice.
00:55:42Hmm.
00:55:42I wish you first let me in the bayon.
00:55:43Go on.
00:55:44Let me out.

01:00:27Captain, sir.
01:00:29Take these two prisoners back to their coach.
01:00:31Yes, sir.
01:00:32They will be returned to Paris, there to be tried and executed for treason.
01:00:37I'm not afraid to die, Chauvelin, but you gave your word that Marguerite would go free.
01:00:45But an oath to a scoundrel is meaningless.
01:00:50Sink me.
01:00:52I couldn't agree more.
01:00:57No, no, no, my dear Chauvelin, never fear.
01:00:59You are not looking upon a ghost.
01:01:02But allow me to introduce your soldiers.
01:01:08Lord Anthony Dewhurst.
01:01:11Sir Andrew Fuchs.
01:01:13Lord Timothy Hastings.
01:01:15And the leave of the scarlet pimpinels.
01:01:25But something tells me that you're wondering what happened to the men that you sent on ahead.
01:01:30I'm surprised, my dear Chauvelin, that you didn't notice their ill-fitting uniforms.
01:01:49But then fashion never was your forte, was it?
01:01:54But why this charade, this mock execution?
01:01:58My dear Chauvelin, I never would have dreamt of depriving you of your moment of triumph.
01:02:03Alas, a moment was all I could spare.
01:02:06My congratulations to you, Sir Percy.
01:02:09As always, everything planned down to the last detail.
01:02:12You know, only this time, you have overlooked one little thing.
01:02:20There is no way off this island except back over the causeway.
01:02:24And if you care to look out of that window, you will see my men, my old men, standing guard.
01:02:31Sink me.
01:02:33So they are.
01:02:36But then, if you would care to look out of that window, you would see me out, the daydream.
01:02:42Wait in just offshore to take Lady Blakeney, Armand, and my men, safely back to England.
01:02:49My hand is off to you, Sir Percy.
01:03:00You've done it again.
01:03:05Percy!
01:03:12A gentleman always removes his couch.
01:03:19Stand away.
01:03:23This pleasure is all mine.
01:03:49A man is here.
01:04:05A man is here.
01:04:07A man has smashed the house.
01:04:07A Wolk.
01:04:08Come on, I am.
01:04:15A woman.
01:04:16Oh, my God.
01:04:46Oh, my God.
01:05:16What I always like to give a man a sporting chance.
01:05:19Oh, the English and the stupid sense of fair play.
01:05:24Exactly so, my dear Chauvelin.
01:05:27Which is why I think in your case, fair play to leave your fate in the hands of Robespierre and his committee.
01:05:36Take him away and strip him.
01:05:39I shall need his style, this garments, to persuade the guard at the causeway that I am citizen Chauvelin, Louis-Main.
01:05:47You're not going away. I won't let you.
01:05:49My darling, I must. I promised Armand that I would bring Louise safely back to England.
01:05:53Not this time. I will pose a Chauvelin and go to Paris in your place.
01:05:58Perhaps in this small way I may atone for my mistakes.
01:06:02No, neither of you are going. It's too dangerous. Percy, you mustn't let him do it.
01:06:05Sir.
01:06:06Sir. Your wardrobe. Aha.
01:06:12I will confess. This is one role that I was loath to play.
01:06:17The honor, my dear Armand, is all yours.
01:06:20Godspeed, my friend.
01:06:20Godspeed, my dear Armand, is all yours, sir.
01:06:41To pass, Corporal, as quickly as possible.
01:06:43Very good, citizen Chauvelin.
01:06:47He's safely away, Percy.
01:06:49Then prepare to board the daydream.
01:06:51We sail for England.
01:06:58They seek him here. They seek him there.
01:07:02Those Frenchies seek him everywhere.
01:07:05Is he in heaven?
01:07:07Or is he in hell?
01:07:09My own elusive Embernell.
01:07:15Sigmare.
01:07:16The lady's a poet.
01:07:19Hmm.
01:07:20The lion's a poet.
01:07:29Yeah.
01:07:30The little duck.
01:07:30Oh, yes.
01:07:31Oh, yes.
01:07:32Ah, yes.
01:07:33The animal's a poet.
01:07:43Oh, yes.
01:07:44The lion's a poet.
