WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.200 --> 00:00:06.679 Fed up with the every day grind, tied out from 2 00:00:06.679 --> 00:00:10.199 the summer heat, he wanted to get away from it. 3 00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:12.080 Now we offer you. 4 00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:20.559 Escape, escape designed to free you from the four walls 5 00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:26.239 of to day, for a half hour of high adventure. 6 00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:29.039 You are trapped in the dark streets of an old 7 00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:35.520 French town, with two remaining avenues of escape. The workshop 8 00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:39.200 of a fearsome knife maker are the arms of a 9 00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:42.159 beautiful but deadly woman. 10 00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:52.759 To night we escape to the south of France and 11 00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:56.280 to the manhunt of a master criminal. As Vincent Starra 12 00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:00.119 told it in his Unusual story the Fugitive. 13 00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:10.640 I had been six months in the prison of Tarante, 14 00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:12.680 at the top of the hill above the little village 15 00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:15.400 of Saint Just. As you know. Of course, Saint Just 16 00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:18.400 is in the very south of France, buried in those 17 00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:20.840 dark forests that lead up to the great crags of 18 00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:26.519 the Pyrene. I was enjoying this enforced hospitality after having 19 00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:30.799 been convicted as a thief, and quite rightly so. Oh, 20 00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:33.120 it is the fancy of some men to become bankers 21 00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:36.439 of other soldiers, and had always suited my own fancy 22 00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:40.040 to be a thief. But no matter day after they 23 00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:42.319 went by with nothing to do but to look out 24 00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:45.560 over the forests, watch the sunsets and the lights in 25 00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:49.079 the shatthood motto. And six months began to seem like 26 00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:53.799 a lifetime. So in my customary logical fashion, I decided 27 00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:58.879 to escape. You were addressing me, monsieurle meeux. 28 00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:02.280 Who else do you think I expect to find you 29 00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:05.120 entertaining visitors behind his iron door. 30 00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:07.959 Who knows what the detective may think. I have never 31 00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:11.039 found enough mentality in one to be able to analyze it. 32 00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:15.719 Ah, you still have spirit, you please? What a pity 33 00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:17.759 for I to be wasted in a prison there? 34 00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:20.560 Well, I confess I would much rather be outside there 35 00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:22.879 with you than inside here with me. 36 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:26.520 And I can almost wish that you were. Perhaps then 37 00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:28.039 I will not be subored. 38 00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:31.960 Oh my deepest sympathy, Mu have the wine cellars at 39 00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:34.759 the Chateau gone Rye. Does the singer no longer serve 40 00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:37.080 those luscious meals you have told me so much about. 41 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:41.800 I've grown weary of it, my friend. I am a 42 00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:47.439 hunter of men by nature, not that bone bevore. Sometimes 43 00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:51.680 I wish you might contrive some means of escaping. I 44 00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:54.120 should enjoy this spot of dragging you down again. 45 00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:55.360 In that case, miss, you're the key. 46 00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:58.560 Oh, I dare say it would be rather easy the 47 00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.240 second time. I know just how your mind turns, all 48 00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:02.080 your little. 49 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:05.919 Fans who hell the keys, And I'm a master of 50 00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:06.840 these guises. 51 00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:10.520 Should you pause by stream, the fisherman who handed you 52 00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:14.080 I drink would suddenly turn out to be Lemieux. 53 00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:15.280 You astonish me. 54 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:19.120 You will perhaps register to me. Then the clerk would 55 00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:21.159 smile at you, and you would. 56 00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:27.120 See, dummit me, Lomieux, why dream of. 57 00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:31.800 The impossible deeps? You heavy another foreign a half years 58 00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:34.759 to serve in Tarantale, and I am dining at the 59 00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:35.960 ship of the moon. Thou and. 60 00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:40.599 So Lemieux, why not imagine I am contriving some way 61 00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:42.680 to escape? That should give you an appetite. 62 00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:46.800 You please see your waiters desert it. You speak of absurdities. 63 00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:54.159 Now perhaps you are right? Oh well, Amsieur. Ah, but 64 00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:58.520 he was gunning this Lomniu, sleek and pretty like a weasel. 65 00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:01.039 But have you ever seen the teeth of a weasel 66 00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:04.639 slashed out of a bob? I have, and I have 67 00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:08.240 seen Lemia do somewhat similar things. Ah, oh well, no matter. 68 00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:12.159 Half an hour after he had gone. When dusk was falling, 69 00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:14.960 I lifted two iron bars from the window of my cell, 70 00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:18.680 slid through, and climbed down the wall. But it was 71 00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:21.560 not so simple as it sounds. You know. I had 72 00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:26.639 been working on it for nearly two months, secretly and quietly, 73 00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:39.639 and now I was free. I slunk furtively and fearfully 74 00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:42.079 through the underbrush, making my way rappily toward the village 75 00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:44.600 of Saintsuis at the foot of the hill. Behind me. 76 00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:46.439 At any moment, the great gun would boom from the 77 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:48.959 walls of Torontel, informing the world that one of the 78 00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:52.399 prisoners had made an escape. Ahead of me. Faint flaies 79 00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:55.199 of lightning, warmth of a storm to come by, my 80 00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:00.839 half be day pace with my footsteps, I thought to myself, terrible. Indeed, 81 00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:03.839 is this business of freedom? How much simpler it is 82 00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:07.240 to be in prison? Well, as you may have perceived already, 83 00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:10.399 I am something of a philosopher. Well, no matter. It 84 00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:13.560 was then that I suddenly saw a light gleaming ahead 85 00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:16.680 of me, and I began to hear a strange sound. 86 00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:21.360 I could make out the shape of a small, open 87 00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:24.079 heart a few paces ahead of me. The light was 88 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:27.319 thrown out by the glowing coals in a foge, and 89 00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:29.920 the sound was made by an old man beating out 90 00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:33.639 a piece of metal on an angel. He was small, wrinkled, 91 00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:36.759 and bald, except for two white tufts of hair that 92 00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:40.480 grew in front of his ears. As I drew near quietly, 93 00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:43.720 I could see that he was making a knife, and 94 00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:45.800 that other knives hung on the walls of the hut. 95 00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:48.920 And I had no weapon, and I began to wonder 96 00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:53.639 if by some means I might steal one from him. 97 00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:58.160 Come in, my son, huh, it may start raining in 98 00:05:58.199 --> 00:05:58.959 a moment. 99 00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:04.560 Seems you. Yeah, I'm a stranger hereabouts. I lost my 100 00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:07.759 way in the wood. No need I understand you are. 101 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:10.120 You are a maker of knives, monsieur. 102 00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:12.759 You would luck to have one, perhaps. 103 00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:14.279 Well, old man. The fact of the matter is that, 104 00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:17.720 being a law abiding citizen, I really have little need 105 00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:21.600 of a knife. However, they are pretty, and the forest 106 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:24.839 is very dark. But I am at the moment without fun, 107 00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:28.720 so there is no charge. My son, Yeah, look at 108 00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:33.360 this one. Oh, it is a beautiful knife. Try the edge. 109 00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:38.560 It is quite sharp. Mon dieu, you are right, this weapon, 110 00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:41.639 would say the king himself. Oh, a prince of thieves, 111 00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:45.680 you are a philosopher, my son, or a thief. But 112 00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:50.839 what there are words engraved on the blade, on one side, 113 00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:57.199 reason and on the other irony, Reason and irony. You're 114 00:06:57.240 --> 00:06:58.800 something of a philosopher your self. 115 00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:02.519 Old maker of knives, I use different verves and different blades, 116 00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:05.040 but the quality is always the same. 117 00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:08.000 It fits well in my hand. Don't take it, it 118 00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:11.199 is yours. With such a blade, the man could fight 119 00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:14.240 his way through hell itself. I should like to see 120 00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:18.279 the look on the face of monsieur. Wait, you are not, 121 00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:23.079 by any chance lumieux. Ah ha, the great. 122 00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:26.399 Gun in the wall of Tarantel some prisoner as escaped. 123 00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:32.079 No, my son, I am not Lemieux. Why do you ask? 124 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:36.839 I thought for a moment, but no, no, of course not. Well, 125 00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:38.759 I must be awful knife maker. I have a long 126 00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:40.959 way to go, and it is starting to rain. My 127 00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:44.839 deepest gratitude for your generosity. Oh we shall meet again, 128 00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:49.920 my son. Tell me then after you have tried the blade. 129 00:07:49.959 --> 00:08:03.839 Of course, Oh who the blessing? I was not afraid anymore. 130 00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:06.759 The rain smashed and splattered in the trees, and the 131 00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:10.120 dark shadows became old friends. I ran through the night, 132 00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:13.439 laughing and sometimes singing, slashing with my knife at the 133 00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:19.879 leaves on the branches, reason and irony, slash. I forgot 134 00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:23.920 the prison behind me, forgot everything except my goal, a 135 00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:28.800 tiny cottage standing at the very outskirts of Saint Just Marie. 136 00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:34.320 Si mar would be waiting there where I had left her, soft, warm, 137 00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:38.279 beautiful Marie, of whom I had dreamed every night in 138 00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:41.480 that crosset cell. We would go into the village together, 139 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:43.720 then to the inn of Bulgic despar and with the 140 00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:45.559 bag of jewels I had left with him, escaped up 141 00:08:45.559 --> 00:09:00.559 to the Spanish frontier to freedom. Marry Marie. It is 142 00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:04.120 I'm a dip you please see open the door quickly, 143 00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:12.480 Please what you inside? First? That is better?

Come now tell me how glad you 145 00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:16.639 are to see me. 146 00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:22.039 I am glad, but surprised. How are you here? 147 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:26.120 They they have not released you, not intentionally, my dear. 148 00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:30.159 I reviewed my own case and decided you, please see 149 00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:32.240 you are really a very fine fellow and by no 150 00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:35.879 means belong here, so I released myself. You have a 151 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:41.159 skipped not completely or had any rate not yet. What oh, 152 00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:44.759 what a lovely scent you are wearing? Married monam and 153 00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:46.679 that dress and you one, is it not? 154 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:52.720 It was given to me by here the old woman 155 00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:54.519 who lives in the next cottage down the way. 156 00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:56.799 Well, I must leave a small diamond for her after 157 00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:00.879 we have seen Paul toldest part you going to see him. 158 00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:02.879 But of course, masurely, we shall need money to live 159 00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:03.360 in Spain. 160 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.080 I see to please you are very wet. You must 161 00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:09.960 be tired. Rest here in his chair while I run 162 00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:12.120 down to the old woman's and ring, whine. 163 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:13.639 And little no, Mari, there is not time. 164 00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:16.799 It will only take a moment. We can go to 165 00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:18.120 purse afterwards. 166 00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:21.480 Surely you know you're safe here with me, safe while 167 00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:25.039 Lemieux is out there someplace. The others, the soldiers and 168 00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:28.200 the guards, they are fools, but not Lemieux. He is cunning. 169 00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:31.120 I'm beginning to fancy that I see him behind every 170 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:34.320 face I meet. But surely you do not think of 171 00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:38.559 one thing I amswered, and that you are not Lumieux. Come, 172 00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:39.279 I must touch you. 173 00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:41.919 It has been such a long time, so perhaps I 174 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:44.039 should go borrow a dry coat. 175 00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:46.279 For no, no, no, no, the rain has stopped. I shall 176 00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:49.919 be dry, and by the time reach the little ring. 177 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.240 I gave you one with the heart. You are not 178 00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:52.759 wearing it. 179 00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:57.600 Put it away. I did not wish to wear it until. 180 00:10:57.360 --> 00:10:59.360 You were with me again, which I am from this 181 00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:00.559 moment on teeth. 182 00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:04.120 So this is no time to waste. We must leave 183 00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:07.080 now and hurry we go to Paul. The sparse this moment. 184 00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:15.120 Now but a few paces brought us into the streets 185 00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:17.879 of the village of Saint Just. We moved quickly, and 186 00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:19.919 I kept the color of my coat turned high on 187 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:23.519 my face. Soon we were making our way among the 188 00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:25.840 handful of patrons who still lingered at the tables of 189 00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:28.600 the inn, talking in the light of candles held in 190 00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:32.000 empty bottles. I kept my hand on the knife beneath 191 00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:34.320 my coat, but no one glanced up. As we crossed 192 00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:35.600 to the far side of the oom. 193 00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:38.320 There is at the little table in front of the office. 194 00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:42.000 We measurely, so he is and not changed.

Menai, this is quite a surprise. 203 00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:15.320 I take it you are run an unofficial leave of absence, 204 00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:18.080 completely so poor.

Yeah, they will sell me 210 00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:35.639 well in Spain. I hope to be across a frontier 211 00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:38.639 in an hour, so so soon. But we have so 212 00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:41.960 many things to talk about. There's a little chance for talk, Paul, 213 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:44.080 when a man is running for his life that you 214 00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:46.519 was are here across the time, nearby, nearby. We'll get 215 00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:48.879 them now, Paul. Well, the fact that the matter is 216 00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:52.120 they are at my house on the other side of town. Fish. 217 00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:54.000 It will It will take only a moment and I 218 00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:57.000 can send someone to wait a wait. Voices outside the door. 219 00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:00.399 I hear nothing, nothing at all. You are only you 220 00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:02.639 signaled someone before we came in here. No no, no, no, 221 00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:04.639 no no no no no. Your mistake. I saw you 222 00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:06.240 not to way man out there at one of the tables. 223 00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:06.480 Sooner. 224 00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:09.200 You must believe me. I did not hie away from 225 00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:12.159 that door. I called you, my friend. The card will 226 00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:14.039 break down that door in a moment. You had better 227 00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:14.559 give up. 228 00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:17.679 You are a fool to press see and an hour 229 00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:19.919 from now you will be back in the hotel where 230 00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:20.399 you belong. 231 00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:22.600 I doubt it this far you have not getting from 232 00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:24.720 the back door, But either way you will not know 233 00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:25.320 about it. 234 00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:25.759 A knife? 235 00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:30.440 Did you hold on away from that door? No, you cannot, 236 00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:36.399 murderous piece. I will stop you for your gold pieces 237 00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:37.240 horn in my head. 238 00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:37.799 Ha ha ha. 239 00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:41.159 Now where is the spot in killing a man whose 240 00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:44.080 only weapon is a bag of money? I am a 241 00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:55.639 philosopher gold pieces. I ran down the dark streets from 242 00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:58.039 the back of the inn turn corner, stutched away from 243 00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:00.919 the shadows. Far off, like the sound of hunting dogs, 244 00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:03.200 I could hear the voice of the mob. I knew 245 00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:05.759 not where to find Mary, nor of any man now 246 00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:10.960 who might be tested. I ran blindly. One direction was 247 00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:13.519 as good as another, and the things of reality became 248 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:15.799 clouded with those of imagination, so I could no longer 249 00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:19.600 tell them apart. Such is the great fear of the hunted, 250 00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:22.879 which knows only to run, to run from one unknown 251 00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:25.720 to another unknown, but always to hun and run and run. 252 00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:31.559 I had come to an unfamiliar part of the town, 253 00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:34.759 into an open square with a building facing me. People 254 00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:37.559 moved past slowly, but they paid no attention, and I 255 00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:39.639 knew they were not part of the mob which followed. 256 00:14:40.600 --> 00:14:43.720 Then I saw that all of them were going through 257 00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:48.519 the door into the great building, the cathedral. What a 258 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:51.440 place to hide for a moment. I joined them and 259 00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:59.600 was carried along in the cowd. I found myself near 260 00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:02.679 the front, with people all around me. I kept my 261 00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:07.759 head down and couched there, trying to stop trembling. You 262 00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:11.279 are not to bright, my friend. You seem frightened silence. 263 00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:13.159 Do you wish to disturb the service? 264 00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:17.320 Have a fear it will continue regardless you pleas see 265 00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:21.519 one moment, monsieur, and I shall catch your throat. Come now, 266 00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:24.960 put away the knife. I am your friend. I have 267 00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:26.200 always admired you. 268 00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:27.559 Who are you male? 269 00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:33.000 I keep a little shop in the village perfume, spices, flavorings, 270 00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:36.600 all things calculated to make life more agreeable. You are 271 00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:40.679 alumniou in disguise, ridiculous Monsieur lamieuz at the chat to 272 00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:43.279 the Monteaux. I passed him on his way there. He 273 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:46.000 thinks the mob will do his work for him. Put away, 274 00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:48.399 then I you have nothing to fear for me. 275 00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:50.480 That may be, but I feel much better while I 276 00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:52.840 hold it in my hand, cautious. 277 00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:56.120 Do bless see you like the great adventurer I always 278 00:15:56.159 --> 00:16:00.639 admired adventurer, and very prince of the the king of 279 00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:02.480 poets and teacher of philosopher. 280 00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:04.039 Well, I am quite a fellow all. 281 00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:07.960 Indeed, you are a man who should be standing up, 282 00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:10.320 not hiding his face swaggering. 283 00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:15.320 And you are really a fellow of discernment. Indeed you 284 00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:20.960 are permitted. But it is a very good knife. It 285 00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:22.559 has words written on the blade. 286 00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:24.720 No matter, knives are not permitted with you. 287 00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:28.279 Look if you play, they have seen you. Now, my friends, 288 00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:31.360 you must run, but never fear. We shall meet again. 289 00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:47.240 I think that is soon. I escaped from them again 290 00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:50.279 and found myself finally on the outskirts of the far 291 00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:53.639 side of town. And you not where to go next. 292 00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:57.879 I looked up and my eyes fell upon the lighted 293 00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:02.360 windows of the chateau, the Moteu, standing alone above the countryside, 294 00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:05.240 at the very top of a point of rock. A 295 00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:11.480 sudden thought occurred to me, rising and audacious, what better 296 00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:15.319 sanctuary than the very chateau world anew himself waited for 297 00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:19.039 a word of my capture. I smiled to myself in 298 00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:21.880 the darkness, and then began to climb swiftly up the 299 00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:30.799 face of the rock. I stood at last on a 300 00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:34.039 tiny parapet, close against the massive stone walls of the 301 00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:41.200 chateau high above the countryside. Behind me were lighted windows 302 00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:43.960 and the sound of voices. But out there on the 303 00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:49.440 parapet there was only the night and the stillness, stars, 304 00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:54.119 and a ghostly moon, riding like a silver galleon in 305 00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:58.559 the black pillows of the sky. Its pale light fell 306 00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:02.519 on the tumbled forest, me on the tiny little village 307 00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:07.640 of Saint Just, and touched faintly in the distance the 308 00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:11.759 far off crags of the Pyrenee, beyond the Spanish frontier. 309 00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:21.799 I do not know how long I stood there, looking 310 00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:25.079 down upon the world. Perhaps I was a little mad 311 00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:29.119 by then, of that, I'm not quite sure. Suddenly I 312 00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:32.599 saw someone coming toward me on the paradpath. They had 313 00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:38.480 not yet seen me. Buis, mademoiselle, Who is he? It 314 00:18:38.599 --> 00:18:40.240 is I, Marie? Do you please him? 315 00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:43.279 What are you doing here? 316 00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:45.720 A very good question, as a matter of fact, I 317 00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:49.359 think I shall use it myself. What are you doing here? 318 00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:53.799 I came here to find a mirror after I lost you, 319 00:18:53.880 --> 00:18:56.720 of course, and you found him, I class, Oh, we 320 00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:59.400 wo his inside in the buquet hall with the others. 321 00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:04.200 I thought that if he should find you, then I 322 00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:05.400 would be there to help. 323 00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:10.119 How thoughtful of you measurelie but to help him? 324 00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:14.079 But you, of course, how can you taught me? 325 00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:18.200 Ah? Very easily this night? In fact, I believe I 326 00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:20.039 could doubt the universe itself. 327 00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:24.599 You only say such things when you are fancying yourself 328 00:19:24.599 --> 00:19:25.319 a philosopher. 329 00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:29.279 Oh, a fool, which is much the same thing. But here, 330 00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:35.559 look at you, another new dress. The old woman is 331 00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:37.279 very good. Do you marry? 332 00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:40.640 I am quite grateful to her. 333 00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:43.079 And did she also give you the ring, my dear? 334 00:19:43.640 --> 00:19:47.640 The ring? The ring you are wearing, The ring which 335 00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:49.759 I saw so many times on a hand that would 336 00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:52.480 grasp the bars of my cell. The handle the mirror. 337 00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:56.799 I swear to you it is nothing I found found. 338 00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:58.839 It perhaps in the same place where you lost mine. 339 00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:01.720 Put away knife. It is all mistaken. 340 00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:03.079 It was you who brought them up to the inn, 341 00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:04.920 and Paul knew you had gone to. 342 00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:08.880 Do it to someone else. Please do not kill me. 343 00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:13.599 Let me go go away back inside to warlo you 344 00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:15.839 that I am here, I. 345 00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:19.279 Shall cut down the path here. See, Oh, you cannot 346 00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:22.359 kill me. You loved me once, do you not remember? 347 00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:27.240 Please let me go go quickly before I change my mind. 348 00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:29.240 I am going and will not harm you. 349 00:20:31.279 --> 00:20:35.759 To the testing woman thoroughly. It is necessary first to 350 00:20:35.839 --> 00:20:40.039 have love. Well, I really I am quite a fellow 351 00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:42.240 after all, a true philosopher. 352 00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:46.359 H It is one of the things for which I 353 00:20:46.440 --> 00:20:47.799 have always admired you. 354 00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:52.200 Oh, it is you, monsieur male the cellar of perfumes. 355 00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:55.680 Must you always carry that vicious knife in your hand? 356 00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:58.359 It is a good knife. An old man gave it 357 00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:01.279 to me, and there are gods on the blade. See 358 00:21:01.319 --> 00:21:06.599 on one side, reason on the other, irony, Well. 359 00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:08.799 We shall have little need for either.
