01x08 - Sleeping With A k*ller

[bunniefuu]

Sorry for being late, sir.

You sent men to
Madrid to seek Mata Hari.

But the press already found her.

- As you see in the paper.
- Mm.

What an impudent sl*t.

She's playing with fire, that one.

She's impudent but this
could be a coincidence.

There's no proof she
caused Rastignac's death...

and the missions failure.

Witnesses saw them leaving together

after her performance.

So I am sure this wh*re lured
him into her bed and slept with him.

But she betrayed him.

Rastignac was always a
fool when it came to women

and she seduced him
and gave him to the Bolshe.

I'm absolutely certain of it.

To her, such an idiot
was a perfect prey.

We should pay our respects, sir.

My condolences with them.
He was a brilliant officer.

France will remember this hero.

I wanna find this German spy.

I wanna interrogate her and...

What about her dog, Astruc?

Is he in Paris?

He's been busy with
the journalists but...

He's had no secret meetings.

That we know of.

It wouldn't be secret if you knew.

He would do anything for her.

He's such a fool. Hm.

So should we send
men to Paris, to k*ll her?

- I think the risk would be...
- The risk would be great.

You're right. We'll
follow her, observe her,

collect evidence.

Then we arrest and try her.

The wh*re will pay for her treason.

Lieutenant!

To arms.

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Vladimir Maslov,

you are honored for exemplary service

and you are hereby promoted to the rank

of Captain in charge of the infantry.

It's my honor, sir.

Your first command
will begin immediately.

I am sorry, sir, but...

I was serious about
my reporting to the front.

And for what reason would you do this?

I don't ever want to k*ll
one of my own people.

Even for the sake of a mission.

And if they k*ll you?

So be it.

Alright.

Ready to leave for Petrograd.

They will make your assignment there.

Your friend Massini
hasn't sent anything.

Pigs.

Oh well.

I will have them at my feet.

So you have...

three confessions of love
with invitations to dinner.

And one confession
with a threat of suicide.

This one is too cheap to buy dinner.

That's it.

Tired?

It's quite difficult to
constantly remain...

desirable...

and seductive.

You know you don't
have to do that with me?

I know my friend. I know.

What do we have tomorrow?

Reception.

At the French Industrial Andre Citroen.

I never heard about him before.

Well he's a newcomer.

He made his fortune
manufacturing weapons

and ammunition for the Russians.

Citroen?

Mhm. Andre Citroen.

Ah.

Here we are.

Good evening madam.
Please allow me to express

my genuine admiration.

What beautiful flowers.

I picked them today.

They grow along our
earth work, by our...

entrenchments.

Do you fight there?

Oui, Madame.

Excuse moi. Henri Fitcher.



General fourth corps.

Thank you.

What the hell?

She's insane.

She prefers the brave kind.
Not the cowards in the rear.

Yes, I'm reporting to Paris next week.

Mm.

Your idea?

I asked to return but they said no.

I suppose they are
punishing me for something.

They're detaching you to Paris.

Most men would be happy
for such "punishment".

Do you need money?

No.

I trust you completely with my estate,

Pyotr Alexeyovich.

It's not too small for you to bother?

Not at all.

It's the least I can do for your father.

He and I were like brothers.

Although compared to him, I am low born.

Not to me you aren't, or to my father.

You made your family name strong.

It means a lot for me
to hear you say that.

I am old and god gave me no sons.

Only a daughter.

And I have always hoped
that she marries you of course.

It should be to a man
of character like yourself.

And she loves you, you know that.

Yes, I know but...

You think she's like a sister to you,

but she's not your sister

and you would make a beautiful couple.

You know what they
say. Marriage, then love.

Love comes after
marriage. That's how it is.

I respect you a lot, Pyotr Alexeyo vich

and Vera too.

Well then you have to please me, right?

That's how it is with us merchants.

Vera would never agree.

She would know that
my heart was not in it.

Vera would follow you
to the ends of the earth.

Trust me, Valodya.

I know.

Hm.

Are we allowed to kiss,
after the engagement?

Yes we are.

It's allowed, but we shouldn't.

I'm so happy.

I am even scared.

What is it?

Are you laughing at me?

No, I am...

I am just happy too.

It's decided for life now.

Ahhh!

There they are, the lovebirds.

Join us inside. Everyone's waiting.

They wanna congratulate you.

Here they are. Give them a big cheer.

Alright.

Right then. A toast!

To a long and happy life together.

Cheers!

Mathieu!

Mathieu! Where are you?

I hope we're not too early.

Or too late.

I am sure we're just on time.

Here, I'll take this for you.

Thank you.

Ah, excuse me?

Could you please take these?

Yes, yes, that's it.

Thank you very much.

Butler!

If I catch you away
from your station again,

you're fired.

It's a nice memento.

English Counts will arrive soon.
Keep an eye on the secretary.

He works for the Austrians.

Yes, sir.

Any news from the Russian
headquarters, colonel?

Nothing.

But then, even when we do get news,

it seldom makes sense.

It's probably just as well.

The codes they use are so
simple a child could crack them.

Fortunately, procrastination wins out

over... ignorance.

Yes, thank god indeed.

So, monsieur Citroen,

I heard that you will
soon be making cars,

- like monsieur Renault.
- I am.

And victory, just around the corner.

It's time to prepare
the industry for peace.

My friends.

My new factory,

has opened today

and we are prepared to make
whatever the country needs.

People say that we industrialists,

make money on w*r.

And yes, that is true.

But if... we can avoid w*r,

I'll be a most happy
engineer producing cars

for every family in France.

Wonderful words!

Still, if w*r is inevitable,

I assure you that I promise
I will do whatever it takes

to give the soldiers of our country

the most advanced weapons
to ensure a perfect victory.

And speaking of perfection,

with us today is the one, the only,

the beautiful Mata Hari.

Thank you so much.

Music please.

- Oh, you're wonderful.
- May I?

- Excuse me.
- I'm sorry!

My name is Pierre. I
am your contact in Paris.

Oh... perfect.

We should need a
reason to see each other.

I am a publisher and a journalist.

So I can ask your impresario to
arrange our interview.

Which newspaper?

Le Journal.

This shameless rag!

Full of lies.

Yes, thank you.

So, here's the information.

The Russian Tsar is
sending troops to help

the French.

- Mhm.
- So I need to know,

how many?

Did they write anything
about the Russian troops

- in the newspaper?
- Yes.

So I should be aware of it.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Did you see that lady who was speaking

with the general and
the colonel over there?

Listen in on their
conversation and report back.

Colonel Ignacio, Russian military.

It's such a pleasure
to meet you, colonel.

Madame.

I bet you miss your country so much.

Between the French and
Russia there's this enemy land.

Right?

I am too busy to be homesick, Madame.

Of course you're so busy.

I heard that the Tsar sent soldiers

to help France, right?

To support the French troops.

And your countrymen will be sent

to the front lines immediately?

I can't say anything about that, Madame.

General Lewinsky's corps

will be disposed in the training camp

in Mailly at first.

It's so nearby.

Will there be a parade?

I don't know, Madame. I don't know.

I'm sure there will be a parade.

I'm sure of it.

You know I really, really
really love military men.

And parades.

Can I get an invitation?

Of course you can.

And in exchange I can
perform for the officers for free.

It will be wonderful.

I believe there should be no obstacles.

Can you give me your word?

You do.

Thank you.

I will sail to Gabriel to find a date

for the performance.

She seems very smart.

Why does she play the fool?

I can tell you why she's doing it.

She has just offered
us a free performance,

and now she'll get good publicity.

Good point.

An interesting woman.

Ah.

Please.

They think we're some kind of good.

Well, I suddenly cannot
complain about French ladies.

Hurray!

I love this city.

Oh good.

They've already
announced the charity show.

Yes.

Thanks to LeNoir. He
advertised in the paper.

Though it was perceived
as overly patriotic.

That's fine.

Paris is filled with
patriots these days.

Russians?

Yes.

Mr LeNoir, is he a
friend of Elizabeth's?

Absolutely.

So our returning from
Paris was just another favor

to our proud doctor?

Don't shout.

You want somebody to overhear you?

Margaretha, it's dangerous here.

This is a country that is at w*r

and if they so much as suspect...

Calm down Gabriel. Hmm?

They don't suspect anything.

And don't forget,

I have protectors up high.

Oh, they're so handsome.

Mata Hari is throwing roses.

Be careful. You could cut yourself.

No I can't.

But who is Mata Hari?

Must be an actress.

She's a dancer and a prost*tute.

She dances and takes
all of her clothes off.

That is if you pay.

Oh, thank you.

You don't like wh*res?

It's more like I feel sorry for them.

- Sorry for who?
- You never,

because he can afford such women.

Valodya, d on't bother.
I can handle it myself.

Believe me, I would much rather

be doing this...

than watching a naked
woman run around on stage.

Yeah, I understand.

Still, the others are so excited.

Like little children.

Your honor.

General Lewinsky
summons you, immediately.

Stay here and help father Alexander.

Yes sir.

Pick up that end.

Now, move it against the wall.

Attention officers.

While you are here,

you represent the Russian
army, the Russian people,

and the emperor. France
will judge all Russia

by your behavior.

And so far their opinion is
good so let's keep it that way.

Your Excellency.

Captain Maslov.

Your orders are to join
us on our trip to Paris.

Yes sir.

Officer Ryabov.

You will remain on duty here.

Yes sir.

Gentlemen.

The cars are waiting for us.

- Lieutenant.
- Yes.

- Give it back to her.
- Oh my.

What a romantic you are.

It's a pity you're not going.

Don't regret too much.

I will not.

Captain Maslov.

I just want to be left alone. Please.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm very sorry.

Ah...

Madam is feeling very tired and
there will not be any more show.

Thank you very much.
Thank you for coming.

I'm very sorry.

Is your impresario aware of our affairs?

He's merely guessing.

You don't have to worry about anything.

He's very loyal to me.

He looks too nervous.
He might give us away.

The Russians are bluffing.

They're saying that the...

general Lewinsky's unit.

The one that paraded in Paris,

is a part of the special corps.

Yes, it's all over the papers.

That the forces are going
to arrive from France.

About half a million soldiers they say.

Berlin is very concerned.

There's no special corps at all.

Only one brigade will be sent here

and two will be sent
to Macedonia. That's it.

How do you know that?

I am always surprised at
how talkative men can get

when they want to impress a woman.

And knowing the amount

of officers who came to my
show, it's fair to assume that only



Okay.

And what about their armament?

No, I am sorry. It's not gonna work.

This is not what we talked about.

You promised me a big
article and this is just a joke.

Ah...

We're never too careful.

We're talking about
the article, aren’t we?

Mhm.

So you will publish... our interview...

in the next issue?

You will see all the
details with Gabriel.

And about the armament, I
am thinking about questioning

a certain officer.

That will be very, very
sorry for insulting me.

Mhm, yes, I read about it.

I am glad you have.

Gabriel.

Farewell.

The surveillance has
given us little information.

Mata Hari spends a lot
of time in the public eye

and she takes an interest in Russians.

But nothing else.

That officer the wh*re
claims insulted her.

What do we know about him?

He is harmless. The
officer in question is...

how should I say this?

He's very serious about
questions of the heart.

What does she do
when she's not on stage?

Most of the time she's
with her publisher Lenoir.

And then what?

He's considered a patriot.

Nice cover for a spy.

Put out best people on it.

- The Russian?
- To hell with him.

Here in these files,

are the crimes that Mata
Hari committed against France.

This blue file,

contains all the documents she stole.

The white file lists the
agents she recruited.

And the red file.

It lists all of those who
died all over Europe

because of that spying wh*re.

And this black file contains
all our evidence against her.

Fill up the black file, Matine.

I love Paris.

Oh my god, he's among the guests,

wearing the men's suit.

Who? The dream of yours?

I am tired of your jokes.

Well, they believe in
pants, those Europeans.

What if they teach us
it is something better?

Well, it will be unacceptable.

Who is this officer?

Vladimir Maslov.

Vladimir.

They have nothing but r*fles.

I've seen French soldiers.
They have huge backpacks.

And other things...

Yes, our men are poorly equipped
but we hope our French allies

will help us.

For example, monsieur
Snider has promised

to dedicate one of his
factories for making helmets

with the Russian emblem.

I would just like to see the letters.

The soldiers are so strong.

The Tsar sent our
best soldiers to France

The most decorated men.

Bonjour.

Come on.

Your Excellency. The
demonstration is over.

I'm requesting your
permission to take the battalion

back to the barracks.

Permission granted, captain.

But first, would
anyone like to challenge

Captain Maslov's mastery?

I do.

I cannot handle weapons.

But horses...

I can handle them very well.

Somebody help her!

Whoa!

Shh, come here.

Shh.

Hey you!

Your animal almost k*lled me!

Really?

It seemed to me you fell on purpose.

I thought it was a stunt.

You seem to be perfectly fine,
so please excuse me, Madame.

Manners, captain.
Remember we are guests.

My apologies. Madame.

She's said to be an excellent rider.

She was a teacher at a riding school

owned by a man named Mollier.

And he... this man died.

Under mysterious circumstances.

I suspect her but that's
not our concern now.

She has her eye on this captain.

And I wanna know for what.

For fun. She likes officers.

Perhaps she means to
seduce and recruit him.

Maybe. She's very careful.

Just as we need to be very careful.

Because of her powerful patrons.

I made another request to arrest her

on suspicion of espionage.

Again, they turned me down.

A shame, but if she
likes this Russian...

maybe we can use him to get to her.

Perhaps. What's his name?

Vladimir Maslov.

I believe that I've heard this name.

It sounds familiar.

It doesn't matter.

We might have a better
way to get rid of her.

A decree has issued to shut down

the criminal underworld of Paris.

Brothels, underground casinos.

France is facing very hard
times and there's no place

for these dirty b*stards.

Do you know...

Michelle River?

Yes...

She's the owner of a
special establishment

in the southern quarter of Paris.

I want you to meet her.

And make her an offer.

You understand?

Maybe a shocking one?

Monsieur LeNoir?

Maybe.

Monsieur Le Noir?

I don't even know.

Is it shocking enough?

Defelt the film, Rene.

It's enough for today I think.

Madame.

You are just fabulous.

May I?

So you'll tell Herr Doctor the following

Russian supplies are dwindling.

Soldiers will be provided
only with the bare necessities.

Helmets, coats, etc.

They're not re-supplying
a*tillery or mortars.

The Russian positions of the front

can be considered the weakest points.

But they should not discount the bravery

and skills of Russian soldiers.

Who will fight, regardless
of their weakened positions.

Is this information accurate?

I am always accurate.

But you've just almost,
messed up my face.

I would k*ll you if I didn't need you.

I pay a high price for my freedom

to let the likes of you threaten it.

I understand.

Margaretha?

I'm here.

I bumped into an old friend.

She has a place...

well where people come to have fun.

- Mm.
- Down where the rich...

Slackers and cowards gather?

Well perhaps,

but there's profit to be made in it.

And she is offering
quite a bit of money.

- Is she?
- Mm.

And only one dance.

And there's a roulette.

Gabriel.

You know how much I miss casinos.

I know.

When will I have to perform?

She's not sure yet. In a few days.

- What's her name again?
- Michelle River.

Valodya I noticed
when the epistle

was being read you
seemed distracted.

Is everything okay with you?

Yeah, yeah. I am okay.

Not just today. For a while now.

It's the wedding.

I've been giving it a lot of thought.

As well as you should.

You're entering a new and life changing

amazing part of your life.

It is such a big decision.

To connect your life to another person.

Are you having doubts?

I am.

Wait, here they come now.

Go to them. Go talk with her.

I missed you so much!

Me too.

How was the journey?

The sea was frightening.

They say Germans can blow
up ships from underwater.

Then we took a train
and came straight to you.

- Pyotr Alexeyovich
- Hello, Valodya

Hello son.

- Good morning.
- Hello father.

- Father Alexander.
- Yes.

Since you're here,
perhaps you can marry them

right now?

Well if that's what they
want I would be happy to.

I think that sounds wonderful.

And you Valodya?

At once, if we can.

It's a very nice church.

Of course you're in a
hurry. You're young people.

But I've invited many guests, Vera.

So the wedding must be...

held at the Alexander Nevsky
cathedral in Beau Chival.

No father, it's called Beaux Cheval.

It doesn't matter how you pronounce it.

The church is beautiful.

And in three days' time you will have

a beautiful ceremony.

Of course you're invited,
Nikolaj Alexandrovich,

- Thank you.
- And you too father.

Thank you.

Very good, very good.

They're starting a new life together.

Aren't they a lovely couple?

Like they are meant for each other.

Yes they are.

Come in.

It's late, I hope you have
something interesting.

Mata Hari is going to
River's place to perform.

Good.

She hasn't given me a
chance to find evidence

to put into this black folder.

The worse for her.

She could have had a life.

You're personally in charge
for the results of the raid.

If Astruc is there, do
I arrest him as well?

He could possibly turn on her.

We might offer him a deal.

I'll give it a try, captain.

I hope soon the city will be grieving...

for the death of the
beautiful Mata Hari.

Thank you for accepting my invitation.

Well, you've been very generous.

What do you think about this?

She's amazing.

I'll see you later.

Everybody's under arrest!

You're under arrest!
Everyone get outside!

Now!

Move. Move. Move!

Get outside, now!

- Get going!
- Stop it!

- Stop it.
- Everyone, everyone out!

- Yes, we're going.
- Get moving now!

You too!

There's been a misunderstanding.
We're guests here.

Gabriel, calm down.

You two. Stop talking
and get in the car.

You'll regret this you know.

This is the famous Mata Hari.

I can't believe it. Mata
Hari in this den of inequity.

Stop!

What are you looking
at? Keep moving. Go!

You are going to Vingt-Cents
along with the others.

I'll have you sent to the front lines.

What's your name?

Matine, Madame.

- Monsieur Astruc, you can leave.
- Not without her.

I am sorry.

Gabriel.

If he wants to stay with her, let him.

You and your friends may go.

Thank you Monsieur.

Do it fast.

They all think they're
going to the chateau Vingt-Cents.

Yes sir, we'll be done immediately.

Get them down!

And take them to the pit.

Can anyone tell me what's going on?

No. Keep moving.

Who gave this order? Do you know?

No.

And I wouldn't advise you to ask.

No! No!

Oh god!

- Stand still.
- Darling, stay near me.

Stay with me.

- We're here.
- Drop the weapons.

I love you.

I've always loved you.

No!

I am sorry.

I love you.
