Hecate (Daniel Schmid_1982) Subtitles

00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,The news from the Eastern Front is bad.

00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,But the Germans say
they'll reach Moscow by Christmas.

00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,Do you really think so?

00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:09,And you ... Mr. Ambassador?

00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,The story of Clothilde
happened a very long time ago.

00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,When I say time ...

00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,I don't mean the number of years ...

00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,I mean that since that time
the world has changed.

00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,France and England no longer live
at the slow pace of horses.

00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,France and her Treasury no longer
represent the greatest bank in the world.

00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,America is arming Russia.

00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,Germany will devour everything,
even her own downfall.

00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,In those days ...

00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,When was it, already?

00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:43,Do you know Africa?

00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,The Hotel Sheppard in Cairo.

00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,Here it's different.

00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:00,Do you have your credentials?
Later on.

00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,It's a godforsaken place here,
did they warn you?

00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,You'll have nothing to do.

00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,Call me Vaudable, and I'll call you
Rochelle, since it's your name.

00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:47,The prison is quite medieval.
What are they saying in town?

00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,- In town?
- In Paris.

00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,Suzan Langlen won in two sets:
six/four, six/one.

00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,Is this your first appointment?

00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:08,And here!

00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:10,Bad luck.

00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,Here are two repatriation requests

00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,and also ...

00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,a letter from the
Saint Vincent de Paul Sisters ...

00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,...who claim ...
- What is your name?

00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,- Mademoiselle Henry.
- No, your first name?

00:06:58,640 --> 00:06:59,Marie-Rose.

00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,The Sisters of Saint Vincent de Paul
have an infirmary in their convent.

00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,They want aid from the Ministry.

00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:13,Mr. Vaudable has the number to decode
the cables sent by the Foreign Office.

00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,Isn't that the privilege
of the First Counselor?

00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,There is no Counselor.
We are only us three.

00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,Where can one hire good horses?

00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,Only at the British Club.

00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,Are there often incidents?

00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,Rarely. A few assassinations.
Never Europeans. And we do dispose of

00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,two policemen and a Foreign Legion
dispatch less then 20 miles from here.

00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,Are you staying at the official
residence, or will you be living in town?

00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,No, the official residence.

00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:04,Put it down there.

00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,l g***t everything very quickly, for there
was nothing here that I really wanted.

00:08:38,680 --> 00:08:43,The first day already I had
domestic servants, an office, personnel,

00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,all the elements of my plan.
All that was missing was a mistress.

00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,All around me conscientious objectors
from all over, political refugees ...

00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:57,A heap of human wrecks
of the recent conflict,

00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,hoping for a nationality
or at least a passport.

00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,All these failures didn't form
a population and even less a nation.

00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,They seemed to be waiting for a train
that never came.

00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:06,Would you please excuse my asking?

00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,New faces are so rare -
and sympathetic faces.

00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,Have you already been warned?

00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,Warned?

00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,I see, you've just arrived.

00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,You should have been told.

00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:52,- What about?
- Here no one talks to Massard.

00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:54,Why not?

00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,Oh, he's the black sheep
of our little society.

00:11:03,560 --> 00:11:05,Who is that woman?

00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,Only a woman
looking out into the night.

00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,You like it here?

00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:53,And you?

00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,I let myself be ...

00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,How does one go about it?

00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,I follow my instincts.

00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,I think I understand.

00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,Why always try to understand?

00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,Why?

00:12:42,680 --> 00:12:46,- Good evening, Madame de Watteville.
- Let me introduce you to Mr. ...

00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,Julien Rochelle,
Attache at the French Embassy.

00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,Captain Durieux, of the Foreign Legion.

00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,- You are our guardian angel.
- Too kind of you.

00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:23,Are you here alone?

00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,Everyone is alone here.

00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,I mean, more than elsewhere.

00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,''The Ministry of the Interior
gave orders to shoot at wine growers.''

00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:29,Pass me number 16 in town, please.

00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,- It is him.
- It is her.

00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,I'm coming.

00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:49,It�s serious ...

00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,but far away.

00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,What do you think about the weather?

00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,Yes, I know, it's hot.

00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:17,It all happened very fast,

00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,without useless words, smoothly.

00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,On Clothilde's side never
the slightest reproach, criticism,

00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,brooding, quarrel, annoying question.

00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,She didn't think
that having given herself to me

00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,gave her any rights on me.

00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,The days passed like in a dream,
like in old movies

00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,where the wind tears off
the calendar leaves.

00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,Clothilde ... this old-fashioned name
enchanted me.

00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,In this vacant kingdom,
she appeared to me like an extra holiday.

00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:27,The ideal woman,

00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,adaptable, of good company
and a good companion,

00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,lover and friend, lady and mistress,

00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,always free, never a weight,

00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,and that perfect equilibrium
so agreeable to egoists.

00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,- What's he saying?
- He's calling the faithful.

00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,It�s the end of the Western World,

00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,but this time the East
has nothing to offer.

00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,You weren't going to think of the future.

00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:12,As little as possible.

00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:20,Is it true that you are married
to a strange French officer

00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,serving as a mercenary in Siberia?

00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,Who told you that?

00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,Rumors.

00:19:33,360 --> 00:19:35,Do you want to tell me about it?

00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:38,No.

00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:40,Why?

00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,Are you afraid of your past?

00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,My past isn't dead. That's all!

00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:56,l thought ...

00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:00,Don't think anything.

00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,Let yourself live.

00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,What are you thinking about?

00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,About nothing.

00:21:58,120 --> 00:22:02,In Africa nothing can be learnt faster
than the art to let yourself live.

00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,It wasn't love yet -
it just was happiness.

00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,On my side,
lucidity hadn't yet killed comedy.

00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:17,It was still true ...

00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,and already false.

00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,They delivered a new chain
for your motorcycle to my house.

00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:35,Arabs adapt to every situation.

00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,Do they think we're married?

00:22:41,920 -->...
