- 0:18 Yeah.
- 0:21 I'm going to go.
- 0:39 I'm not.
- 0:51 I'm going to go.
- 0:59 I'm going to go.
- 1:05 Oh, my God.
- 1:26 I'm
- 1:30 Don't be.
- 1:32 Bring out the prisoner, William Gluck.
- 1:35 Yes, Carl.
- 1:43 Come out.
- 1:45 Thought you were in a hurry to get me in.
- 1:50 Look.
- 1:51 General Lahren is inclined to offer your clemency.
- 1:53 In return for information,
- 1:55 What clemency can anyone expect from Gerco Lennon?
- 1:58 If you value your life, give us the names of your accomplices.
- 2:01 I don't value it that highly.
- 2:03 So you're the young man who made the mistake of shooting at me this morning.

- 2:06 My mistake was in missing you.
- 2:08 You are worse than an assassin.
- 2:10 You're a fool.
- 2:12 That's what your countryman think of you Colonel Zimmerman. For saving Gerco Lennon's life three years ago. When Lichtenberg might have been saved by another fool like me.
- 2:21 I missed you this morning because I was too far away.
- 2:24 But now...
- 2:28 Stop!
- 2:33 Let him go.
- 2:35 That was the second mistake you made, Luke.
- 2:38 Men like you never realize that I rule you collectively because I can master you individually.
- 2:43 They tell me that you're a blacksmith and proud of it.
- 2:46 Good.
- 2:48 Well, I'm the son of a stonemason.
- 2:50 And also proud of it.
- 2:53 the woman you're not to interfere under any circumstances.
- 3:00 I'm not.
- 3:04 Come on.
- 3:11 Now you can hang him.
- 3:16 Sarg?
- 3:16 Call in.
- 3:19 - Come on.
- 3:38 Will you please say that Her Royal Highness's carriage is ready to start? Yes, Baron Manoho.
- 3:46 We're ready.
- 3:49 You have everything? Money? Passports?
- 3:51 Everything.
- 3:52 Remember, you'll not be out of danger for a moment. Yes, yes, I know, but please don't worry about me. General Lannan will never suspect. For years I've gone for a drive every afternoon at five o'clock. Yes, but today you're driving to Paris.
- 4:02 If anything happened to you I should never forgive myself.
- 4:04 I do.
- 4:05 We both know that our last hope is for you or for me to make a personal appeal to the French.
- 4:09 For weeks General Lannins watch your every move.
- 4:13 Therefore, I'm the one to go.
- 4:14 I thought we'd settled all that.
- 4:19 This will inform Louis Napoleon of true conditions in Lichtenberg.
- 4:22 ... and what we offer for his intervention.
- 4:24 It will be fatal if it falls into the wrong hands.
- 4:26 I'll see that that doesn't happen.
- 4:31 Your Royal Highness' carriage is waiting.
- 4:33 Very good start.
- 4:38 If you look at Louis Napoleon like that...
- 4:41 You'll come back with an army call.
- 4:53 I'm going to go.
- 5:01 I'm going to go.
- 5:19 Oh, my God.
- 5:22 Well done, stop. She's pretending to go for her afternoon drive. But she intends to go further. Across the frontier, then to Paris.
- 5:30 Her Royal Highness Hess just left the palace.
- 5:33 You may go, Stafford. Well done. Thank you, Excellency.
- 5:38 But you'll stop her.
- 5:42 It's difficult to believe that the Prime Minister would accuse himself of treason in writing. But you've got him now, Excellency.
- 5:48 You must have patience, Zimmerman.
- 5:50 Patience is a wonderful thing.
- 5:52 When you're after mice, you can treat them as mice.
- 5:55 But von Neuhof is a lion, and you can't catch a lion in a mousetrap.
- 6:00 But treason.
- 6:01 That will bring down even a lion. Yes, Excellency.
- 6:07 See you at this stop.
- 6:21 Lovely afternoon for a drive, my dear Baron.
- 6:24 Your parting with Her Royal Highness must have been very touching.
- 6:29 I'm wondering how you could bring yourself to permit a beautiful and inexperienced young girl to set out for a foreign land carrying a very dangerous letter in your own handwriting.
- 6:38 You see my spy system works very well.
- 6:42 Just what do you mean, Lennon?
- 6:45 I mean that when a Prime Minister conspires to set troops of another nation against his own people,
- 6:51 It is called treason.
- 6:53 and is punishable by death.
- 6:56 I've just given orders to have a royal harness brought back.
- 7:00 And with her...
- 7:02 the proof of your treason.
- 7:03 You wouldn't dare to lay hands on Zona of Lichtenberg. You mean that I wouldn't dare to permit Her Royal Highness to leave Lichtenberg?
- 7:11 Aside from my personal feeling,
- 7:13 Zona of Lichtenberg is the symbol of an authority that has existed in this country for 20 generations.
- 7:19 and I desire to employ that symbol extensively in my dealings with the people.
- 7:25 Up to now, your influence has prevented a closer understanding between Her Royal Highness and myself.
- 7:31 It is a pity that such a brilliant career as yours must come to an end, my dear Baron.
- 7:37 Zimmerman.
- 7:39 Excellency?
- 7:41 Baron von Newhoff is to be confined in the palace dungeon until the day of his trial.
- 7:45 Cops.
- 8:05 That's the first free breath I've taken since we left the palace.
- 8:09 I can still feel every soldier in the city staring at the back of my neck.
- 8:12 I feel like breathing when we cross the frontier at Petch.
- 8:17 Poor Bands on you.
- 8:20 I wonder what will happen when General Lanham discovers we've gone.
- 8:23 of what would have happened if we hadn't gone.
- 8:27 It's getting chilly. We're being followed by home. The Panas Guard.
- 8:36 Hey!
- 8:45 She's seen us.
- 9:11 This way! This way!
- 9:20 Faster, Max!
- 9:21 I'm going to go.
- 9:43 Oh.
- 9:44 You all right, Countess? And Her Royal Highness? No, don't worry about it. Let's go get the horses.
- 9:54 I'm terribly sorry if my dogs right you.
- 9:56 You ruffian!
- 9:57 My poor lamb.
- 9:59 I do assure you, mademoiselle, it was an accident. He caught setting his dogs on was an accident.
- 10:02 Isn't that something I can do? Can you get us to pitch quickly at once?
- 10:05 Well, not in your carriage, I'm afraid. Well, forget the carriage, just get us to pet. In that case, it's as easy as... As what?
- 10:10 As this.
- 10:19 That result seems to be in a great hurry.
- 10:21 I am.
- 10:22 Fist!
- 10:22 You know a shortcut through the woods?
- 10:24 Yes, sir, this way.
- 10:25 Hang on.
- 10:27 I'm
- 10:37 What happened to her royal highness?
- 10:38 Where is she?
- 10:39 Well, I don't know.
- 10:40 They were here when we went out to the horses.
- 10:44 Arrest these men!
- 10:45 Lieutenant Stoll.
- 10:46 Take after men and search the left side of the road.
- 10:49 The rest of you follow me. They can't get far on foot.
- 10:52 I
- 11:07 I hate to make amends, I've forgotten to ask who you are.
- 11:11 Yes.
- 11:13 And you don't know the Raffi who wrecked your carriage.
- 11:16 I'm the Count of Monte Cristo. Miss, um...
- 11:20 Harkened up.
- 11:22 May I present to the Council of Monte Cristo.
- 11:24 I beg your pardon?
- 11:25 Uh...
- 11:27 What happened about?
- 11:28 Zona fashion.
- 11:30 Oh, a pasta.
- 11:34 Very unusual, isn't it?
- 11:40 Can't we go a little faster?
- 11:42 Charlie, hold on, tie it up.
- 11:44 Oh, my God.
- 11:59 After great effort, I, Hercules Snyder, have told you the only carriage in Petch.
- 12:05 Of course the horses may not be the best in the world. Can they walk?
- 12:09 Oh, yes, madame. That's all that's necessary. Point them towards Paris,
- 12:13 Start the movie. Tonight, madame. Certainly tonight. But it's dark. You don't say.
- 12:18 It usually is at night.
- 12:23 Paris is the other way.
- 12:25 You're looking back towards Lichtenberg. Yes, I know.
- 12:29 I used to think it's the most beautiful country in the world.
- 12:34 Are you staying long in church? No, I'm on my way to Lichtenberg on business.
- 12:38 But about five o'clock this afternoon it became a real pleasure trip.
- 12:43 I'm sure you weren't able to find a carriage. You were right. No carriage. But we must find one. No carriage.
- 12:48 That's too bad.
- 12:51 But after all you do have one because I sent for mine.
- 12:54 You haven't told me the object of your journey, but I know it must be urgent.
- 12:57 Therefore it's only right that I replace your carriage with mine to save you further delay. Besides,
- 13:01 The road isn't safe for a young girl traveling alone.
- 13:04 Anything can happen.
- 13:06 You're quite right.
- 13:07 You sure you don't mind a very early start?
- 13:11 Oh, not at all. The horses and I will be waiting with the door.
- 13:14 Dogs?
- 13:15 Haven't you had enough driving and excitement for one day? You will forgive us, won't you?
- 13:21 Mm-hmm.
- 13:23 Oh.
- 13:25 Good night. Yes.
- 13:27 Oh, ha ha.
- 13:29 Well, uh...
- 13:31 Good night. Good night.
- 13:34 Good night.
- 13:38 Good night, miss.
- 13:39 That's enough.
- 13:41 I'm going to go.
- 13:48 What are you doing? We're out of here.
- 13:51 I've got a carriage and it's waiting downstairs. You mean you... I lied to him. Of course I lied to him. It was the only way to get rid of him.
- 13:56 That young man makes a career of helping people who are in trouble get into more trouble. But he's so nice, I feel guilty deceiving him.
- 14:03 Don't...
- 14:04 Zona fastened up. I can be changed.
- 14:08 And it's a long way to Paris.
- 14:11 Soldiers. Leighton Burr soldiers.
- 14:17 He did not believe this wrong.
- 14:20 Come over here.
- 14:21 There's a carrot waiting outside.
- 14:22 Go home.
- 14:23 This is not Lichtenberg.
- 14:25 I don't know how you crossed that.
- 14:26 frontier.
- 14:27 You've no right to ask me questions.
- 14:30 For whom is the carriage waiting?
- 14:32 Two ladies.
- 14:33 Yes.
- 14:35 Ladies of quality.
- 14:36 The carriage met for an accident and the-- And where are these two ladies of quality?
- 14:43 in the parlor.
- 14:44 At the top of the stairs.
- 14:56 I'm
- 15:08 Your royal highness. How dare you force your way into this room. My orders are to escort you back to Lichtenberg your highness.
- 15:13 I'm also instructed to secure a certain letter you are carrying to the Emperor of the French.
- 15:17 Must I remind you I'm the Grand Duchess
- 15:19 Lichtenberg and command my own person.
- 15:21 I am under orders your highness.
- 15:24 A letter if you please. I think her royal highness said she commanded her own person. Who are you? My friend here. Will introduce me.
- 15:30 Please don't. Don't worry.
- 15:38 My father was the best hope in his truck.
- 15:40 Come on.
- 15:42 Come on.
- 15:45 No.
- 15:49 I'm not.
- 15:57 Yes.
- 16:06 Come on.
- 16:08 I'm not.
- 16:15 If I, Hercules Snyder...
- 16:17 I've been 20 years younger.
- 16:19 The whole Lichtenberg army couldn't have taken her away from here. What kind of a country is it when common soldiers lay hands on their own queen?
- 16:27 From the tales I hear,
- 16:29 The days are as black as nights in Lichtenberg. Oh, poor little grand duchess.
- 16:33 A crown is a pretty heavy load for so young a head.
- 16:37 AND SO,
- 16:37 useful.
- 16:41 This hates me praise.
- 16:42 You are too brave a gentleman for those bandits to finish you.
- 16:47 Are you sure you feel right, sir?
- 16:50 - Oh. - Oh.
- 16:53 There, there, poor gentlemen.
- 16:59 Farhan.
- 17:03 Fafn.
- 17:07 Faffendop.
- 17:08 Run! Get the doctor!
- 17:09 He's already hedged. No, never mind the doctor. Get me my carriage.
- 17:14 My business in Lichtenberg is more urgent than I thought.
- 17:29 Zona, please.
- 17:30 You've been pacing the floor for hours. Why, Newhart guilty?
- 17:34 I've branded a traitor, a criminal.
- 17:36 His only crime was in being my father's friend and mine.
- 17:39 He was more than my master, he was my friend.
- 17:41 I would have given my life.
- 17:43 I understand how you feel, Stott.
- 17:44 You were one of the few people he trusted.
- 17:47 Surely your Royal Highness has some plan to save him. We must save him.
- 17:50 How can they print such lies about him? Because Gerculeman wrote them.
- 18:05 You may go start and count us if you don't mind.
- 18:15 Ah, my roses.
- 18:20 General Lannan, I command you to set Baron von Neuhof free at once.
- 18:24 Ordinarily your wish would be my command.
- 18:27 But Von Newhoff must die.
- 18:30 I understand your grief. You are thinking of his services to you.
- 18:33 but I must consider his danger to me.
- 18:36 I consider that you're having him murdered.
- 18:39 when the same thing happened to Caesar and Louis the 16th. They didn't call it murder, they called it patriotism.
- 18:45 If Baron von Neuhorf is guilty, then so am I.
- 18:48 Arrest me.
- 18:49 Your Honor, Highness.
- 18:50 Unthinkable.
- 18:51 then I have nothing more to say to you.
- 18:54 But there is something that I wanted to say to you
- 18:56 of the greatest importance.
- 18:58 For three years.
- 19:02 If there is a difference between myself and other men, it is because I have dared to carry out my dreams.
- 19:08 I dreamed of becoming master of Lichtenberg.
- 19:12 Well...
- 19:13 I am master.
- 19:15 But I have other dreams.
- 19:17 More personal.
- 19:20 Some men are born under a star.
- 19:22 My great dream has been to share my star with you.
- 19:29 What are you suggesting, General Lannister?
- 19:32 You should be able to recognize an honest proposal
- 19:35 marriage.
- 19:37 Marriage.
- 19:39 With you?
- 19:40 Liar, a murderer. Say it, madame, a peasant.
- 19:48 My peasant blood springs from the soil.
- 19:51 and it runs rich and strong.
- 19:53 History proves that blue blood has always benefited.
- 19:56 mingled with red.
- 19:57 better than any man. I appreciate all you
- 20:00 Present. Zona, you're a queen, but you're also a woman. Together we could build a greater Lichtenberg.
- 20:06 could pass its glory onto our children.
- 20:11 Are you trying to say you love me, General Lanning? I've been trying to say it for months.
- 20:16 Even when you look through me rather than at me, I've often wondered when you look at me what you see.
- 20:20 I see a man I'd give my life to destroy.
- 20:25 Get out.
- 20:27 I quite understand.
- 20:29 The aristocrat is talking to the peasant.
- 20:32 Good morning, Your Highness.
- 20:48 This paper has been printed for months.
- 20:50 Now some of you people here know who created it.
- 20:53 Mayores are...
- 20:55 We've stripped every house in this town until we uncover that press.
- 21:00 I know who did it. Who?
- 21:03 I'll take you there.
- 21:07 Go ahead. Cards.
- 21:19 There it is.
- 21:20 There it is, in here.
- 21:22 Smash him those windows!
- 21:24 Clean off this place!
- 21:26 Oh, my God.
- 21:39 Oh
- 21:43 Hold that rabbit there.
- 21:45 Where's the place?
- 21:46 Bring the bill.
- 21:48 I don't know.
- 21:49 Where is it? In the basement, I heard it.
- 21:54 Arresta!
- 21:55 - Let's watch.
- 21:56 Fight!
- 21:57 Come with me.
- 22:00 Steady hands.
- 22:02 All right, outside.
- 22:08 So you're Kurt Merbeck, the man who prints the torch.
- 22:11 using your store as a blind to hide this pest.
- 22:15 It took me four months to hunt you down.
- 22:18 You know the penalty for printing a newspaper without government sanction?
- 22:21 Yes.
- 22:23 But the charges against Vanuha are lies. There are some things not even the rope can strangle.
- 22:30 Take it away.
- 22:36 Clean out this big side.
- 22:44 Stop! This is not law and order!
- 22:47 Charlotte!
- 22:48 Command, take the bird.
- 22:49 But this is tyranny!
- 23:12 I'm going to the back!
- 23:14 Who captures him?
- 23:19 This way. You two men search that street. You come with me.
- 23:42 This way.
- 23:44 It's not here. This is our own store. I know it is.
- 23:46 Where's your setup?
- 23:47 Over here.
- 23:55 I'm going to go.
- 23:57 Look what they've done.
- 23:59 I'll pay them back for this.
- 24:02 Why did you think of coming here? This is the one place I never think of looking for you.
- 24:06 Thank you for getting me away.
- 24:08 But you shouldn't have helped me.
- 24:09 They'll hunt you down, kill you on sight. How about you?
- 24:12 Oh, I'm used to being hunted.
- 24:14 They've been trying to catch us for months.
- 24:16 Well, ducking in here was simple.
- 24:18 I wish I knew how we were going to duck out.
- 24:20 There is a way out. Here. This is the way we sent the papers out.
- 24:25 Why didn't you escape this way? Oh, we couldn't do that. These steps lead to some friends.
- 24:29 We might have betrayed them.
- 24:39 In the old days, this was a cemetery.
- 24:41 Looks as if it still is.
- 25:01 PHONE RINGS
- 25:04 Who is this man? He saved my life.
- 25:07 Gentlemen, the printing press is destroyed. My father is arrested.
- 25:11 The same thing would have happened to me, only for this man.
- 25:15 Yes.
- 25:20 At least you escaped.
- 25:22 I saw what you did, sir.
- 25:24 That was enough to assure you welcome here.
- 25:26 I saw what you did.
- 25:27 That was enough to explain you being here.
- 25:30 I am Fritz Stoner, lieutenant of the household guard.
- 25:33 This is Lieutenant Shultz. - Lieutenant.
- 25:35 I'm Edmund Vantis.
- 25:37 Sometimes called the Count of Monte Cristo.
- 25:40 Young Monte Cristo, the richest man in Europe.
- 25:43 Strike me in a legend.
- 25:45 Face to face.
- 25:47 You're twice welcome.
- 25:48 Thank you for what you did.
- 25:54 He's a very nice one.
- 25:59 Listen, everyone.
- 26:01 Disaster has dealt us a second blow.
- 26:03 A death blow.
- 26:05 Grecco has given Zimmerman secret orders...
- 26:07 That Baron Von Newhouse is to die at midnight.
- 26:10 When he dies...
- 26:11 All that is good in Lichtenberg will die with him. Von Neuhoff? Yes.
- 26:15 This is a picture of Baird on Newhall. Where are you going? Look, missed him.
- 26:20 I won't. Killing Gercow isn't the answer.
- 26:22 I could have done that long ago.
- 26:23 We must kill what Kirko represents.
- 26:28 You must have a high opinion of our country.
- 26:30 Welcomed in a tomb with the news that our greatest man is to be assassinated.
- 26:34 and the knowledge that our Grand Duchess is a prisoner in her own palace.
- 26:38 Prisoner?
- 26:40 But surely you intend doing something about it. Easier said than done.
- 26:44 Zone is helpless without the support and counsel of Von Neuhoff.
- 26:47 To save her, we must save Van Nuort first. And Van Nuort is in the palace dungeon under a death watch. As if an old man could dig his way out with his bare hands.
- 26:55 There is one chance.
- 26:57 so slim it's impossible we'll take any chance none of you can help me.
- 27:02 I'd have to have someone in the palace.
- 27:04 Someone beyond Gherko's suspicion.
- 27:07 You men make me a little ashamed of myself.
- 27:09 One hears a man like you but never sees them.
- 27:12 You're right.
- 27:13 If one new horse to be saved it must be from inside the palace.
- 27:16 Perhaps I can qualify as the volunteer you need. You?
- 27:19 But how can you, a stranger, get in the palace?
- 27:23 by using a bank drop for 25 million francs as a calling card.
- 27:26 Money has opened stronger doors.
- 27:28 I'm in Lichtenberg because General Lannan has applied to the House of Monte Cristo for a loan. A loan? Yes.
- 27:33 which I have just decided to grant.
- 27:36 Gentlemen, I consider it a privilege to help you prove that the torch of liberty is difficult to extinguish. You mean be one of us? Mentally, I've been one of you since my first hour in this country.
- 27:54 My dear General Lannin.
- 27:56 So good of you to receive me.
- 27:57 Beastly business, this banking. What?
- 28:00 You know, you look like an entirely different person. I hope the effect doesn't remain permanent. You know, I'm glad I thought of buying these glasses on the way back to the hotel.
- 28:08 They had that last perfect touch.
- 28:14 I wish I didn't have to do this.
- 28:15 I'd understand perfectly if you'd like to change your mind about going through with it.
- 28:19 I'm not worried about that.
- 28:21 I was thinking of a royal highness, don't I?
- 28:24 After I'm eating your pet, she must have thought me a fool.
- 28:27 And now when we meet again in the palace, I have to make her believe that I'm a bigger fool than she thought.
- 28:33 I can't let her know than me I'd like her to know.
- 28:36 I can't let General Lanny know the me I'd like him to know.
- 28:39 I--
- 28:39 I'm getting a little confused. I'm beginning to wonder which me is me. It'll take more than a few ruffles and a pair of eyeglasses to fool Gurko Landon.
- 28:47 You'd be better off with a sword in your hand.
- 28:49 I'm afraid General Lanning would suspect a man who tried to get close to him with a sword in his hand.
- 28:53 What makes you so sure he won't suspect a fop?
- 28:55 Our pop is a fool.
- 28:57 And a fool enjoys a strange protection not shared by other men.
- 29:01 No one takes a fool seriously.
- 29:03 You'll need protection if Gercow discovers your real purpose is to help Vanuoff escape.
- 29:07 My dear Lieutenant Dawner.
- 29:09 I'm sure I can convince General Lannan that the Count of Monte Cristo has absolutely no interest in a slimy old dungeon.
- 29:16 Order my carriage.
- 29:17 I'm a trifle late for this appointment.
- 29:19 Four days to be exact.
- 29:25 Excellency, your carriage is waiting.
- 29:28 The Count of Monte Cristo to see, Your Excellency.
- 29:32 Monte Cristo, eh?
- 29:34 So he decided to come. Three days after I had expected him.
- 29:38 If I was some sniveling prince, these backers would come fawning to give me anything I wanted.
- 29:44 I didn't need his money to build up my army. I'd give His Excellency the Count of Monte Cristo a lesson in keeping appointments.
- 29:50 All right, go out and bring him in.
- 29:52 We shall have the pleasure of listening to another banker give us excuses instead of money.
- 29:57 What?
- 30:00 My dear, come.
- 30:06 The Count of Monte Cristo, Your Excellency.
- 30:11 Welcome to Lichtenberg, Your Excellency. Thank you.
- 30:14 Terribly sorry to be so late.
- 30:15 That's a weakness of mine.
- 30:17 I once kept a shot of Persia waiting two weeks.
- 30:19 Oh.
- 30:20 Oh.
- 30:21 But at last I'm face to face with the great Gherko Lannock.
- 30:24 I would hardly allude to myself as great. Oh, naturally not.
- 30:27 That's a privilege reserved for your admirers.
- 30:31 They say a cat can look at a king.
- 30:32 So perhaps a humble banker can look at a hero.
- 30:37 Do you mind my curiosity?
- 30:39 Not at all, but won't you sit down?
- 30:42 Amen.
- 30:46 If only you knew how I simply adore men of action.
- 30:49 Strong, self-made men with high ambition.
- 30:52 who grasp life firmly and bend it to their will.
- 30:56 My father was like that, you know.
- 30:58 Yes, I do now.
- 30:59 A remarkable man.
- 31:01 Yes, I suppose he was.
- 31:03 But I'm getting a little bored having him stuffed out by a throat by everyone.
- 31:06 Oh, don't misunderstand me. I loved him and all that, but I'll never forget him.
- 31:10 Really? Why not?
- 31:11 Well, if only he'd endowed me with a little of his character.
- 31:14 Instead of all his money.
- 31:15 I too might have been a man of action.
- 31:19 But...
- 31:20 I'm not so. There you are.
- 31:22 Yes, but men of action can do nothing without the support of influential bankers.
- 31:26 Surely you must thrill to the knowledge that there is more power in your signature than there is in my sword?
- 31:32 Twelve.
- 31:35 I detest banking.
- 31:37 Why, at this moment, it's taken me away from Paris at the very height of the social season.
- 31:43 If it wasn't for my intense interest in meeting you, I'd be very unhappy.
- 31:46 However, here I am, so there you are.
- 31:49 How well.
- 31:50 Let's get on the business.
- 31:51 Up.
- 31:52 Ahem.
- 31:53 You applied to my banking house for a loan, I believe. Yes, sir.
- 31:57 25 billion francs.
- 32:00 25 million francs.
- 32:01 Is that all?
- 32:02 Why, I thought it was more. Well, I... However, we can discuss that later.
- 32:07 Of course.
- 32:08 I could give you a yes or no now.
- 32:10 But that wouldn't be good banking.
- 32:12 I've been taught to to frown at a client.
- 32:14 Put him off. Keep him dangling.
- 32:16 So I'm afraid you'll just have to dangle a while.
- 32:19 Selfie business, isn't it?
- 32:21 no hurry no hurry at all i wanted you to be thoroughly convinced that your loan would be a secure one
- 32:26 And I assure you... Now, now, now, now, now.
- 32:29 Don't try and get a decision out of me.
- 32:31 I've already made one, but you must...
- 32:34 Dangle.
- 32:36 I trust that during your stay you will be my guest here at the palace.
- 32:43 That's most considerable of you.
- 32:45 I shall be trapped.
- 32:47 Colonel Simone?
- 32:48 Send for Lieutenant Tornow.
- 32:50 Yes, Excellency.
- 32:53 Oh, there were two things they told me to be sure and see in Lichtenberg, if I can remember them.
- 32:57 Um...
- 32:59 Ah, yes.
- 33:00 Your lovely countryside and your, uh, Grand Duchess, um...
- 33:03 Zona, I hear she's very beautiful.
- 33:05 It will be my pleasure to present you to Her Royal Highness.
- 33:07 Perhaps tonight.
- 33:09 We dine at 8.30. Charming, charming.
- 33:11 Lieutenant Donner.
- 33:12 This is the Count of Monte Cristo, my personal guest. See that he's given one of the royal apartments.
- 33:16 and that everything is done for his comfort.
- 33:18 Thank you, General.
- 33:19 Shall I start it then?
- 33:25 A bit of a fool, Zimaran.
- 33:26 But Rich...
- 33:28 I think if we handle him carefully, we'll get what we want.
- 33:31 Zona, will you stop wriggling? This is the fifth time I've gone through the motions of getting you dressed. Are you sure I look all right? If you mean, will he suspect that you haven't had a wink of sleep in four nights? The answer is...
- 33:40 No. I remember he said he was coming to Lichtenberg on business, but I never dreamed he'd come here. Will you please try to remember that you're a grand duchess? Darling, it's the first time in my life I haven't thought that.
- 33:50 He may be able to help.
- 33:51 A man like the Count of Monte Cristo must have powerful friends. Baron Renuhoff had powerful friends and he's having his dinner in the Paris dungeon. Perhaps his last dinner.
- 34:00 I'm sorry. Come in.
- 34:04 Dinner is served at the pleasure of Her Royal Highness.
- 34:07 Thank you, sir.
- 34:12 I'm going to go.
- 34:20 Your royal highness, may I present the Count of Monte Cristo.
- 34:24 I'm happy indeed to welcome you.
- 34:26 You're all hired.
- 34:28 I can't tell you how honored I am to be here. The Countess von Braun, the Count of Botte Christo. My dear Count.
- 34:38 - What's up?
- 34:43 The Count of Monte Cristo is the last person I expected
- 34:47 I hope you all might as well think I'm presumptuous.
- 34:49 It's terribly funny, but, uh...
- 34:52 For a moment I had a feeling we'd met before. Perhaps it's because the royal house reminds me of someone I once knew.
- 34:58 The most beautiful woman I've ever seen.
- 35:01 But of course she was not the Grand Duchess of Lichtenberg.
- 35:03 Oh no, in fact her name was Fastened Up.
- 35:08 What?
- 35:09 Yes, really it was. Fathenbub.
- 35:11 Well...
- 35:12 My dear Christo, you don't strike me as being the type of man who would let a beautiful woman escape him, even if her name was whatever it was. Well, I did everything I could. I was even ready to joust for the fair lady's favor.
- 35:23 I'm not a very good jester.
- 35:25 But she wrote off.
- 35:26 Out of my life.
- 35:29 Shall we have dinner?
- 35:32 I'm not sure.
- 35:42 My dear, General Lannin,
- 35:44 It's so refreshing in this day of unrest to find a country where one firm hand dictates the national policy.
- 35:49 Why, do you know in France it's come to the point where...
- 35:52 where even a chimney sweep considers himself as good as a king. In Nixonburg, it is my policy to keep chimney sweeps in the chimneys.
- 35:59 Oh!
- 36:00 Chimney sweeps in the chimneys. Ha ha ha ha. Excellent, my dear General, excellent. Ha ha. Very funny fellow, isn't he? Ha ha. I understand you're in Lichtenberg on business, Your Excellency. Well, no, not exactly. You see. No, he's too modest.
- 36:11 Since three o'clock this afternoon, Lichtenberg is indebted to His Excellency in the sum of 25 million francs.
- 36:17 On the contrary, my dear General.
- 36:19 I feel greatly indebted to you.
- 36:21 It's such a privilege to meet a great man doing such great things for this country.
- 36:24 One can't place a monetary value on achievement.
- 36:27 Don't you agree, Your Royal Highness?
- 36:31 Gentlemen, I'll leave you to your cigars and port.
- 36:34 But I don't smoke. And my doctor assures me that port is the reason all Englishmen have the gun.
- 36:39 If you'll excuse me, I have a headache.
- 36:50 I'm afraid the ladies didn't enjoy their dinner. Oh really? I thought it was very palatable.
- 36:55 I have to report the 10 o'clock inspection of the guard is in May.
- 36:58 Uh, 10 o'clock. Excuse me.
- 37:01 Must be the provincial atmosphere, but I have that, that drowsy feeling.
- 37:04 Just right after a good dinner and before a good night's sleep.
- 37:08 I quite understand. Well, you must have had a very tiring day.
- 37:11 Suppose we just say goodnight.
- 37:12 are the perfect host.
- 37:14 Who knows the exact moment at which to say goodnight.
- 37:17 Attend as Excellency.
- 37:23 Cholson and I are ready.
- 37:24 11. 11. Splendid. Back in exactly 58 minutes and 30 seconds.
- 37:29 this way your absence no matter the other this way I don't need an attendant
- 37:41 behind us.
- 37:42 What a pleasant surprise.
- 37:45 But fresh air is, I believe, the best cure for a headache. Uh, may I?
- 37:50 Huh.
- 37:53 You change characters quite easily.
- 37:55 I saw you first as a cavalier.
- 37:58 Now I see you in the role of a fop.
- 38:00 Flattering the ego of a man that your first personality should have every reason to despise.
- 38:04 Just what is your true character?
- 38:08 Oh, I'm a business man.
- 38:10 A banker, to be exact.
- 38:12 I believe in making my clients feel superior to myself.
- 38:16 In Petsch, you made me believe you're a chivalrous gentleman.
- 38:20 I even cherish the memory of what you did that night.
- 38:25 I hope you believe it's my desire to add to that memory.
- 38:29 By lending General Lannan all the money he needs to completely destroy my country.
- 38:33 But loans are not based on sentiment but on sound collateral. And what collateral does he offer you?
- 38:38 A mortgage on the whole of Lichtenberg.
- 38:43 What you have bought is a partnership in his crimes against my people.
- 38:51 From what I've heard of your father, he'd hardly be proud to know that his son had financed a tyrant and a traitor.
- 38:56 But perhaps I made this loan, because I consider you the most important part of my security. How unfortunate.
- 39:02 You should know that General Lannan does not include me in the collateral.
- 39:05 for the reason that General Lannan has proposed marriage to me.
- 39:08 Also on a business basis.
- 39:11 You know...
- 39:12 You're even more beautiful when you're angry.
- 39:14 Good night.
- 39:18 I'm going to go.
- 39:27 Oh well.
- 39:28 One thing at a time.
- 39:31 Good night, beloved.
- 39:34 Therefore, I, Gorkularen, do impose the sentence of death by hanging...
- 39:39 Upon the set, Baron Van Uhoff...
- 39:42 and to order that the execution of this death warrant
- 39:46 shall be carried out at 12 o'clock midnight
- 39:49 May the 10th.
- 39:51 Which is tonight, I believe.
- 39:53 Do you have anything to say?
- 39:55 Yes.
- 39:56 You may deliver a last message to General Lennon.
- 40:00 Tell him that if he hopes to bury loyalty to Zona of Lichtenberg in my grave.
- 40:04 It will rise again.
- 40:06 to destroy him.
- 40:07 Carts?
- 40:12 I'm going to go.
- 40:22 Don't you. Just Lieutenant Donner reporting for duty, sir.
- 40:25 Well...
- 40:27 For the rest of my life I'm going to view all fireplaces with suspicion.
- 40:30 But it's very useful.
- 40:31 My father and grandfather were officers of the household guard.
- 40:35 He taught me a lot of useful things about this palace Kirk who doesn't know. Let's hope that fire place is one of them. Are we ready?
- 40:40 ready as a last hope can be. But it's better than no hope at all.
- 40:43 I feel that I dragged you into this. I galloped in.
- 40:46 We've one chance in a hundred of getting two value off.
- 40:48 to say nothing of getting them out.
- 40:49 That makes it a sporting proposition. Shall we go? This way.
- 40:53 Where's Schultz? Making his rounds. He'll join us below.
- 40:57 This stairs have been forgotten for 50 years. Let's hope they won't be remembered for another 50.
- 41:05 Shoot.
- 41:06 In one minute the sentry will inspect our new off-sell.
- 41:09 I'll meet you at the bottom of the stairs. All right.
- 41:16 I better go in first.
- 41:17 You'll be recognized on site. But you'll be recognized too. No I won't.
- 41:20 I decided to create another character the general and doesn't know. Well I hope he never will.
- 41:31 Well, this is the last night we'll have to do this.
- 41:33 And good riddance.
- 41:35 trouble with this job, we're as much in jail as Von Neuloff.
- 41:38 Yes, but we aren't going to hang in an hour.
- 41:42 I'm going to go.
- 41:48 I'm sorry.
- 41:51 Yeah.
- 41:52 Come on.
- 41:56 Amen.
- 42:01 Nothing new. He's sleeping like a baby.
- 42:04 Well, I wouldn't be sleeping like a baby.
- 42:06 You would if you were an aristocrat like Von Newhall.
- 42:09 Let's have a look at it.
- 42:19 He's sleeping all right.
- 42:21 Come on.
- 42:32 Remember the plan? I know it got hot. The minute we get Bonyo off out we get to the North Tower.
- 43:01 I'm not sure what you're doing.
- 43:10 Come on.
- 43:14 - Malibu, you are coming.
- 43:15 Please don't be alarmed. I'll have you out of here in a minute.
- 43:18 My friend.
- 43:19 Young man.
- 43:19 It was madness. If every prisoner thought that, there'd never be an escape.
- 43:23 Come on, we're leaving.
- 43:25 Come on.
- 43:31 Hey, Mr. Thompson, this way, wait! They bolted the door from the outside.
- 43:45 That's the turnkey. He's in trouble. Watch this. Watch.
- 44:08 Something's happened in there.
- 44:13 What happened? What happened?
- 44:15 Quick!
- 44:15 Then the mask and cake took by Newhall.
- 44:18 The old corridor, quick!
- 44:21 Good! This leads to the army.
- 44:24 the
- 44:36 This way!
- 44:42 There's nothing beyond here.
- 44:43 - Here's the blind corridor.
- 44:45 Now it isn't even a sporting proposition.
- 44:48 The boys are being very foolish.
- 44:49 It will be four of us on the scaffold now. We haven't climbed those steps yet.
- 44:53 What's that?
- 44:54 The old sewer runs under here to the river.
- 44:56 That's our way out.
- 45:00 - You make it. - Well move. It's rusted in.
- 45:08 Let's all try one side. Fire to that bolt.
- 45:17 I'm going to blow those guards off.
- 45:21 Come on.
- 45:49 Charge!
- 45:58 There's nobody in here.
- 46:04 By the time they figure out where we are we won't be there. This way.
- 46:15 Come on.
- 46:17 Come on.
- 46:20 Traitorous swine.
- 46:26 It takes more than fairy tales and goblins to explain this.
- 46:31 Not even a man in a mosque could disappear through these walls.
- 46:34 We'll be back.
- 46:36 Footprints.
- 46:37 Finger box.
- 46:40 disappeared through the walls.
- 46:42 You imbeciles!
- 46:44 You stuffed dummies in uniform!
- 46:48 The world knows that I considered von Neuhop a special prisoner.
- 46:52 Kept him in this dungeon where I could watch him to prevent his escape.
- 46:55 and you have dared to humiliate me by permitting him to get away.
- 46:59 The man you were guarding was to die at midnight.
- 47:01 You too will die in his place. But excellency we're, we're innocent. Innocent or guilty you will die.
- 47:06 If only because I must show the bodies of more than one traitor,
- 47:10 to explain such an escape.
- 47:12 See that my orders are carried out. I'll pick out that great thing. Let me go, Excellency. Your life may be in danger. Well, upon you, Hopper, more than my life is in danger.
- 47:23 In here. When you're after sewer rats, Zimmerman, you have to go into sewers to find them.
- 47:38 - Welcome, sir. - Welcome, sir.
- 47:48 I'm happy to see you. Hans!
- 47:51 Go back along the branch of the sewer, the east of the palace. Keep a close watch. We may have been followed. This is indeed a happy day for us.
- 47:58 It's difficult for me to speak.
- 48:00 because I never expected to see you again.
- 48:03 And I shouldn't have back for Monte Cristo.
- 48:05 was a living proof that if justice is crushed in one land,
- 48:08 Men will spring to its defense in every land.
- 48:11 For the spirit of justice creates a common brotherhood.
- 48:14 I'm going to go.
- 48:17 Tonight you have dealt Gurkul Rannan a great blow.
- 48:20 Not because you rescued a prisoner named Von Newhoff.
- 48:23 But because you set free a man who was a threat to his ambition,
- 48:27 But it's no victory.
- 48:28 Gercoletum is not defeated so easily.
- 48:31 He's lost one prisoner.
- 48:33 But he holds another far more important.
- 48:35 Zona of Lichtenberg.
- 48:37 Until she is free we have done nothing. But it will take an army to free her. Yes I know it will.
- 48:41 Our one hope is still the French.
- 48:44 Louis Napoleon is my friend.
- 48:46 I leave tonight for Paris.
- 48:48 We'll see that you get safety out of the city.
- 48:57 Oh, my God.
- 49:05 It came out of the water here.
- 49:07 I got it.
- 49:15 The old catacombs.
- 49:18 Here are our footprints.
- 49:24 to this door.
- 49:27 Break it down.
- 49:29 I'm not sure.
- 50:09 A torch.
- 50:12 Whoever he is, this torch is dangerous.
- 50:15 He has a sense of humor.
- 50:18 I'm
- 50:34 Good afternoon, Your Honour, honey.
- 50:36 Good afternoon.
- 50:44 You surprise me. You're quite agile for a banker. Ah, but it wasn't the banker who climbed up here.
- 50:49 I just couldn't resist the balcony, a beautiful girl, and the impulse.
- 50:57 I've often thought a man could make a business of free caged birds.
- 51:01 So many people who appear to be free are really prisoners.
- 51:04 You appear to be quite afraid.
- 51:05 Oh, but I'm not.
- 51:07 I've been a prisoner from the moment I found you in your wrecked carriage.
- 51:11 You're a prisoner too.
- 51:13 It's such a pity you have to be a Grand Duchess. When there are so many roads to be travelled.
- 51:18 Mountains to be crossed, happiness, laughter, all the things you could have if you weren't a Grand Duchess.
- 51:23 Who would give them to me. I would. I could too.
- 51:27 If you were really sort of fathened up,
- 51:29 A girl on her way to Paris.
- 51:31 Love could come riding up to her carriage. But it's almost impossible for love to pass the sentries of the doors of a palace.
- 51:37 The man I'd welcome wouldn't find it impossible to pass this.
- 51:40 No, would it be necessary for him to enter the place?
- 51:43 I'd go out to meet him.
- 51:46 A man like the torch.
- 51:50 What a ruffian, a masquerader.
- 51:53 A ruffian and a masquerader who's unselfish enough to risk his life for others.
- 51:56 Such a man would dare take love in his hands.
- 51:59 Be its master.
- 52:01 Oh, you don't think I have daring that I could be master?
- 52:03 daring and sport perhaps master of money.
- 52:07 I was speaking of love.
- 52:12 That's to remind you I'm not Zona fattened, darling. Oh, you're royal fattened.
- 52:16 Good afternoon.
- 52:28 Now.
- 52:35 I'm.
- 52:44 Who is it?
- 52:44 He must be.
- 52:46 You're a magician.
- 52:47 get Bonduha out of the palace dungeon.
- 52:49 There's our soldiers are looking for him all over the city.
- 52:57 Come on.
- 53:13 Well, well, insulting, isn't it?
- 53:15 Must be a nasty sort, this, uh, this torch fellow.
- 53:18 If I could only lay my hands on him.
- 53:20 Well, why don't you just reach out and grab him? You could, you know.
- 53:24 My, I don't envy you. Too many problems.
- 53:27 Always worried about von Neuhof, Louis Napoleon.
- 53:29 And now this torch.
- 53:30 who seems to me to be just like some character out of a comic opera. My dear Christo, at this moment, your comic opera character is a greater menace than the French.
- 53:39 I appreciate how really dangerous he is. I've used the same weapons he's using against me.
- 53:44 Why, this torch is more useful to Von Neuhof than a whole army corps.
- 53:48 Overnight he could become a hero, a popular leader, whom the people would follow blindly.
- 53:52 Mystery, excitement, daring, those are the things that the people admire. Really? Oh, well then you have to catch the fellow.
- 53:58 You've made this talk sound very formidable. Formidable.
- 54:02 Well he's too clever to be run down by a squad of pig-headed soldiers.
- 54:06 But I have my own weapons.
- 54:09 This torch has friends.
- 54:11 fellow conspirators, any one of whom would sell his soul for 25,000 kronen.
- 54:21 May I?
- 54:23 A little closer, please.
- 54:28 Splendid!
- 54:29 I'll double it award.
- 54:31 And furthermore I'm willing to weigh to you that the fellow's nothing but a silly crackpot. With no more brains than I have.
- 54:37 French ambassador.
- 54:40 Or Newhouse certainly hasn't been letting any grass grow under his feet.
- 54:43 I've been expecting him. Let him in.
- 54:46 Please excuse me.
- 54:47 I find affairs of state simply horrid and even more repugnant than banking.
- 54:57 Miss Excellency, the Marquis de Chantone.
- 55:00 Good afternoon, Your Excellency. I can carry out the instructions of my government.
- 55:06 General Lennon?
- 55:07 I'm instructed to inform you that my government recognizes Baron von Neuhof... ...as the legal representative of the government of Luxembourg.
- 55:15 Huh.
- 55:16 Really?
- 55:17 Either your surrender Her Royal Highness the Grand Duchess Zona
- 55:20 into the custody of the French government...
- 55:23 or she will be liberated by force.
- 55:25 My dear ambassador.
- 55:27 I'm not as naive as that.
- 55:29 To you, von Neuhof may still be the head of the legal government of Lichtenberg, but I have Her Royal Highness, who is the government,
- 55:36 itself and
- 55:37 The position is 9.6.
- 55:38 law.
- 55:39 Very well.
- 55:40 I will report your answer to my government. May I ask your Excellency a question?
- 55:45 Yes?
- 55:46 What would be the attitude of your government?
- 55:49 If Her Royal Highness announced her marriage with one General Lennon,
- 55:54 Impossible.
- 55:55 Not at all.
- 55:56 If she thought that there was any danger
- 55:58 to her people of a Russian invasion
- 56:01 She would do almost anything to save them from such a fate.
- 56:05 A Russian invasion?
- 56:08 Surely your excellency realises that Russia is just as interested as France.
- 56:12 in using Lichtenberg as a buffer against Bismarck.
- 56:17 I can understand the readiness of your government to support from Newhart against me.
- 56:21 but is it as eager to support him against me and Russia?
- 56:25 Good afternoon, Your Excellency.
- 56:35 Zona! Zona!
- 56:38 The French ambassador just left in Gercow is furious. That's because of Baron Van Newhoof. I knew something like that would happen as soon as he escaped.
- 56:45 Oh, Natilde, if we could only do something to help.
- 56:50 - There's all the weight. - Oh, you're not. There's another tank.
- 56:58 To help Baron Van Neuhof and your people...
- 57:04 You must escape. A way has been planned.
- 57:07 Claston Gate.
- 57:09 I'll dress at 10 tonight and trust
- 57:12 - The torch. - The torch.
- 57:14 Maybe it's a trap of forgery.
- 57:17 No, it isn't.
- 57:19 I know it isn't.
- 57:23 Come in.
- 57:31 You wish to see me?
- 57:32 Isn't it natural for a man to wish to see the woman who fills his
- 57:37 If you'll excuse me. You may leave without an apology my dear Countess.
- 57:42 Here.
- 57:51 Your Royal Highness, I've never seen you so beautiful.
- 57:53 You look almost happy.
- 57:55 My opportunities for happiness have been rather limited General Lannan.
- 58:00 I didn't expect another visit from you.
- 58:03 Did you pick me the kind of man who was easily discouraged?
- 58:06 discouragement only makes me fight harder.
- 58:09 To the kind of man you are, take into consideration my feelings. Sona, believe me.
- 58:15 I desire your happiness above anything else in the world.
- 58:18 So you prove it by keeping me a prisoner.
- 58:20 away from my friends.
- 58:21 my people.
- 58:24 Your kind of man, General.
- 58:26 Wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice even the woman he loved.
- 58:28 to his ambitions.
- 58:29 Would it be such a great sacrifice?
- 58:31 to share your throne, your life with a man who loves you.
- 58:34 Could you marry a woman who despises
- 58:37 If she knew how much I loved her, she wouldn't despise me.
- 58:40 My destiny has led me to this palace.
- 58:44 and to you.
- 58:46 I've already told you, General Lannan.
- 58:47 I wouldn't marry you under any consideration.
- 58:51 My object in coming here.
- 58:53 to change that decision.
- 58:55 That has the sound of a threat.
- 58:57 But if I don't...
- 58:59 At the moment, Your Royal Highness, it is only a suggestion.
- 59:02 Of what?
- 59:03 that I should be most unhappy to adopt another method of obtaining your consent.
- 59:08 I have no wish to press you too closely.
- 59:10 I shall return tomorrow at this hour for your answer.
- 59:14 And in the meantime, I hope that it will add to your happiness to know
- 59:18 This will be the longest night of my life.
- 59:25 Come on.
- 59:26 Mathilde! Mathilde!
- 59:30 What happened to them?
- 59:31 What did he want?
- 59:31 Marriage.
- 59:32 Only this time it was a demand.
- 59:34 What do I do?
- 59:37 Yes, but how? We'll need help.
- 59:39 Stop. That's it.
- 59:40 Start. We can trust him.
- 59:41 You're right.
- 59:42 Get him, get him.
- 59:45 daughter
- 59:46 I know how greatly Baron von Neuhof trusted
- 59:48 Yes, honey.
- 59:49 He never doubted your loyalty.
- 59:50 Oh, no, Highness.
- 59:52 I want you to help me.
- 59:53 You must help them.
- 59:54 Anything, Highness.
- 59:55 I'm trusting you with the whole of Lichtenberg.
- 1:00:00 Talk.
- 1:00:02 Somehow you must get a peasant costume for Countess von Braun and myself.
- 1:00:05 I know what a risk you take, but I promise you the reward will also be.
- 1:00:09 Will you do this for me?
- 1:00:12 Yes, highness, gladly. Go then, hurry.
- 1:00:33 I flatter myself I've been of some
- 1:00:35 small service to your excellency. You've done well, son.
- 1:00:39 I also flatter myself I'm fitted for much larger opportunities.
- 1:00:44 A man's advancement rests upon his ability.
- 1:00:46 Exactly.
- 1:00:47 I'm about to prove my ability
- 1:00:49 By accomplishing something even your excellency has found impossible.
- 1:00:53 The capture of the talk. What do you mean?
- 1:00:56 Do you know who he is?
- 1:00:57 No.
- 1:00:58 But I know where he'll be at 10 o'clock tonight.
- 1:01:02 Well, come on out with it.
- 1:01:04 Did I mention, Excellency, that I'm an ambitious man?
- 1:01:07 And I'm sure Your Excellency will agree.
- 1:01:09 that a man who makes possible that tortures capture
- 1:01:12 has demonstrated his right to...
- 1:01:14 larger opportunities.
- 1:01:16 To say nothing as a financial reward.
- 1:01:19 You're right, Stutt.
- 1:01:21 What do you want?
- 1:01:22 I feel I could serve your excellency to better advantage.
- 1:01:25 as shall we say,
- 1:01:27 Chief of the secret police.
- 1:01:31 I've underestimated you, stud.
- 1:01:34 I admire a man who knows what he wants and how to get it.
- 1:01:37 I think the man that runs down the torch...
- 1:01:40 It should be chief of the secret police.
- 1:01:43 And now?
- 1:01:44 The torch has a rendezvous with her royal highness at 10 tonight. He has planned her escape. If you set a trap at the postern gate near the servants quarters you catch not only the torch,
- 1:01:55 Our Royal Highness.
- 1:01:57 How do you know?
- 1:01:58 Your Excellency forgets.
- 1:01:59 I also have the Royal Highness's complete confidence.
- 1:02:04 If I can be at any...
- 1:02:06 Father, sir?
- 1:02:15 Cover every inch of the palace grounds with troops and keep them concealed until the torch walks into the trap. Yes, Excellency.
- 1:02:21 I never realized how clever that really was.
- 1:02:25 But this is only your signature. Over it right in order of the death of one Conrad Stutt.
- 1:02:30 But I thought if he will betray her royal highness, he will also betray me.
- 1:02:35 But do not carry out the order.
- 1:02:37 until after we've caught the torch.
- 1:03:20 Everything's arranged, Your Highness.
- 1:03:21 There's a peasant car waiting outside the gate.
- 1:03:27 And we want. That's it. So I'll be glad to give it to you.
- 1:03:35 Michael.
- 1:03:52 So where are you handling your...
- 1:03:52 You must be a gentleman. My father was the best soldman in France.
- 1:03:56 My father was the best swordsman in France.
- 1:04:05 Oh, my God.
- 1:04:07 I'll be back.
- 1:04:13 - Monte Cristo. - Stop then.
- 1:04:20 I excuse you.
- 1:04:21 He thought he'd be here and now he's got away.
- 1:04:24 Darth!
- 1:04:26 Your Royal Highness.
- 1:04:27 stuff.
- 1:04:30 Good moment.
- 1:04:32 Doctor Royal Highness to her apartment and keep it under constant guard.
- 1:04:36 He's not to go anywhere or see anyone without my permission.
- 1:04:40 If you please.
- 1:04:44 I'm going to go.
- 1:05:02 Oh
- 1:05:17 *Loud music*
- 1:05:26 I'm going to go.
- 1:05:36 Come on.
- 1:05:43 I'm going to go.
- 1:05:53 Oh, my God.
- 1:06:13 Halt!
- 1:06:14 I'm sorry.
- 1:06:22 Amen.
- 1:06:36 Good evening, Your Excellency.
- 1:06:38 - Grieve.
- 1:06:38 Are you badly hurt?
- 1:06:40 Oh, no, it's just the same.
- 1:06:40 scratch.
- 1:06:41 I was worried about you.
- 1:06:42 So I followed you here.
- 1:06:44 - You came in without knocking? - Yes.
- 1:06:46 I'm a spy.
- 1:06:48 Oh.
- 1:06:50 Now I understand.
- 1:06:54 Well, what do you want, Stott?
- 1:06:55 You know, it's very difficult for a man who's always wanted everything.
- 1:06:58 to suddenly discover he can have everything he ever wanted.
- 1:07:02 - Yeah.
- 1:07:02 What do you consider your life worth?
- 1:07:04 For instance.
- 1:07:05 It's worth 25,000 Cronons of Gurkha Lannan, dead or alive.
- 1:07:10 It's a miserly offer, don't you think? I'm worth much more to myself.
- 1:07:14 It is strange how one's sense of values changes.
- 1:07:16 before I discovered you were the torch.
- 1:07:18 I thought 25,000 Kronin was a fortune.
- 1:07:22 No. I realize you could toss that amount to a beggar.
- 1:07:26 And...
- 1:07:27 I do not have it.
- 1:07:28 to bake.
- 1:07:30 You're a very clever man, Stath.
- 1:07:33 Would you...
- 1:07:34 Would you mind telling me how you found out about this?
- 1:07:36 I've always enjoyed the complete confidence of Her Royal Highness.
- 1:07:40 Oh.
- 1:07:42 I see.
- 1:07:43 And of course you betrayed her to General Lennon.
- 1:07:45 Suppose we say
- 1:07:46 I took advantage of my opportunities.
- 1:07:49 Oh.
- 1:07:50 I'm a trifle nervous. Yes, I can understand.
- 1:07:54 I'm going to go.
- 1:07:56 I also take advantage of my opportunities.
- 1:07:59 I just can't believe it. Montecristo, the torch.
- 1:08:03 And I thought he was nothing but a young idiot with more money than brains.
- 1:08:07 I called him worse than that.
- 1:08:10 and all the time his life was in danger.
- 1:08:12 Oh, Matilda, what must he think of me?
- 1:08:15 He must think the world of me.
- 1:08:18 Good night, Bobby.
- 1:08:28 I'm going to go.
- 1:08:32 What is it, Zanon?
- 1:08:35 Stats Barney who has found where we fought the torch last night.
- 1:08:38 30 silver crowns in his hands.
- 1:08:40 this.
- 1:08:41 Padre Antis.
- 1:08:43 torturing.
- 1:08:53 Or at least we're safe the trouble of getting rid of the ambitious Mr. Stutt.
- 1:08:58 Do you mind?
- 1:08:59 No, it's all.
- 1:09:04 A remarkable fellow, this torch.
- 1:09:07 Not only a grim sense of humor, but the very devil in his sword blade.
- 1:09:10 My dear General Lannan, I came to Lichtenberg as a banker. Not to attend a perpetual masked ball.
- 1:09:16 This torture of yours will upset my entire social season. I wish you'd catch the fellow so that I can get back to Paris. After all, he is your affair. We'll catch him.
- 1:09:23 And soon whether we catch him or not matters little now.
- 1:09:27 Oh?
- 1:09:27 I thought he was such a problem.
- 1:09:29 Yes?
- 1:09:31 He was a problem.
- 1:09:32 But in a few moments, from New Hawk, France and the torch will have lost their ability to interfere in my affairs.
- 1:09:40 Russian ambassador, excellency.
- 1:09:44 Oh show Prince Papua Feminis, please don't be disturbed.
- 1:09:49 Your Excellency.
- 1:09:50 My dear Paul, I've been expecting you.
- 1:09:54 The God of Monte Cristo, Prince Palma.
- 1:09:57 How do you do?
- 1:09:58 So you're the young man with all the money. Not all. I wanted Monte Cristo here, sir.
- 1:10:03 witness the signature of our historical
- 1:10:05 agreement.
- 1:10:06 After all, he has a great interest in Lichtenberg affairs.
- 1:10:10 25 million francs worth.
- 1:10:12 to be exact.
- 1:10:14 I think it covers the points of our agreement, Your Excellency. Yes.
- 1:10:20 Yes.
- 1:10:21 All ready for signature.
- 1:10:24 -My dear Poe. -Thank you.
- 1:10:27 This agreement pledges Russia to put me on the throne of Lichtenberg.
- 1:10:32 and to keep me there by force if necessary.
- 1:10:37 Now you can understand why the future activities of the torch are reduced to mere mock heroics.
- 1:10:42 King Gekko the first.
- 1:10:44 It's incredible, really. I'll feel better when this agreement is deposited.
- 1:10:48 in the embassy safe.
- 1:10:49 This is more than an agreement.
- 1:10:51 It is practically an announcement of my betrothal to Zono of Lichtenberg.
- 1:10:55 You make a charming couple.
- 1:10:56 Thank you all.
- 1:10:58 - Relaxes.
- 1:10:59 My dear.
- 1:11:00 How?
- 1:11:02 And now if you will excuse me, my dear Christo, I have a very important appointment at this hour.
- 1:11:08 I trust you will not have to return to Paris before my wedding.
- 1:11:11 Ah, yes, your wedding.
- 1:11:12 I wouldn't miss it for the world.
- 1:11:15 It's three years
- 1:11:24 General Lanin is...
- 1:11:25 till outside.
- 1:11:27 He's been waiting ten minutes.
- 1:11:29 Have you forgotten, my dear?
- 1:11:31 He's here for his answer.
- 1:11:36 I'll go.
- 1:11:41 Come on.
- 1:11:44 You know why I'm here.
- 1:11:47 My answer's the same.
- 1:11:49 What you ask is impossible.
- 1:11:52 I think I told you that I would regret having to adopt another method of gaining your concern.
- 1:11:56 and
- 1:12:20 The Russian ambassador has the duplicate in his possession.
- 1:12:25 You mean you betrayed the people of Liptonburg?
- 1:12:28 Turn the country into a Russian province. Even you can't do that.
- 1:12:32 I dreamed that one day I would
- 1:12:33 be king.
- 1:12:35 and that you would sit by my side.
- 1:12:38 You forget, Stella, that I'm a man who dares to carry out his dreams.
- 1:12:41 If the people knew you'd sign such an agreement, they'd storm the palace and drag you through the streets.
- 1:12:47 The power of diplomacy lies in the fact that the people never discover the truth from
- 1:12:50 It's too late.
- 1:12:54 I know how deeply you love your people.
- 1:12:57 How concerned you must be for their welfare.
- 1:13:00 - Madam.
- 1:13:01 Share my star.
- 1:13:03 We can rise to any heights with it.
- 1:13:06 and endow our children with its greatness.
- 1:13:09 You're right about the concern I have for my people.
- 1:13:13 You've made it impossible for me to save them.
- 1:13:16 But I was born there, Queen.
- 1:13:19 I must remain there queen.
- 1:13:23 No matter what the cost.
- 1:13:26 You mean you will?
- 1:13:30 I cannot abandon my country when it needs whatever protection I can give.
- 1:13:36 There's nothing left for me to do.
- 1:13:42 - No, no.
- 1:13:50 Oh
- 1:13:55 Come on.
- 1:14:08 You're a bold robber, my friend, Torkos. It's me. I'm not interested in your purse, Prince Pavlov.
- 1:14:13 I'm pursuing a hobby. A musk and cloak.
- 1:14:17 They're a dangerous hobby, I should say. I'm collecting the autographs of certain people.
- 1:14:21 Like yourself and General Lannan, shall we say?
- 1:14:25 Do you think I carry pen and paper in my pocket?
- 1:14:27 Of the autographs I want are on the document you carry.
- 1:14:30 so close to your heart.
- 1:14:35 You're lying for this.
- 1:14:40 - Okay.
- 1:14:41 Come on.
- 1:15:07 I'm not sure.
- 1:15:16 Amen.
- 1:15:18 forever.
- 1:15:23 I'm
- 1:15:34 How did you find out?
- 1:15:37 You told me yourself.
- 1:15:39 When you were fighting for me...
- 1:15:40 past and green.
- 1:15:41 How?
- 1:15:44 Of course.
- 1:15:47 I used the same trick against Gurko. I used a pitch. I should have known from the...
- 1:15:51 I didn't want you to know.
- 1:15:52 Edmund.
- 1:15:53 I remember all those dreadful things I said to you at the same time you were risking everything for me.
- 1:15:59 But even when I said them, I hated myself.
- 1:16:02 Can you ever forgive?
- 1:16:04 I remember one thing you said.
- 1:16:06 that a man like the torch wouldn't have to pass the sentries at the gates of the palace.
- 1:16:10 You go out and meet him.
- 1:16:11 Is that still true? It's always true.
- 1:16:14 from that very first day of pitch.
- 1:16:17 Then why did you write you couldn't see me again?
- 1:16:20 Because
- 1:16:24 Not even the torch can help me now.
- 1:16:27 I couldn't bear to look at you again after you knew I must marry, General.
- 1:16:30 But you don't have to marry him.
- 1:16:31 That's what I came here to tell you.
- 1:16:35 That's why I must marry.
- 1:16:37 No, you saw Gurkho's copy. This one I stole from Pavlov.
- 1:16:40 Tomorrow the world will know the Gurkha is a traitor.
- 1:16:43 It won't let you sacrifice yourself to such a man.
- 1:16:46 I'm worn out climbing in and out of windows and up and down chimneys.
- 1:16:50 It'll be such a relief to go through an ordinary door again.
- 1:16:53 it would have been much simpler if you had been zona faffendorf
- 1:16:56 A young girl on her way to Paris.
- 1:16:59 Eddie.
- 1:17:01 You remember.
- 1:17:02 On the balcony, I...
- 1:17:04 I said.
- 1:17:14 You know we're not entirely safe yet.
- 1:17:17 I must get back to my room before Goko misses me.
- 1:17:20 Perhaps I shouldn't have come here at all, but I had to let you know.
- 1:17:27 Amen.
- 1:17:44 I warn you, General Eddon.
- 1:17:46 My government will demand satisfaction
- 1:17:48 for the manhandling company's ambassador.
- 1:17:51 And if our agreement is made public,
- 1:17:53 Prematurally, I will denounce it as a forgery.
- 1:17:57 Safety of that document means more to me than it does to you, Pavlov.
- 1:18:01 In the hands of my enemies.
- 1:18:02 would destroy me.
- 1:18:05 Torture.
- 1:18:06 The man's a genius.
- 1:18:08 Wherever he strikes, it's always in a vital spot.
- 1:18:14 We've been fools, Zimmerman.
- 1:18:16 We've been looking for this torch in the wrong place.
- 1:18:19 He's right here in this palace.
- 1:18:21 and I can prove it to you by simple reasoning.
- 1:18:24 Four men in the whole world knew of the existence of our agreement.
- 1:18:27 Now, three of them are here in this room.
- 1:18:29 The other? Monte Cristo?
- 1:18:31 Thug-jilted fool.
- 1:18:34 No.
- 1:18:35 That very clever young man.
- 1:18:38 In whose interest has this torch been working?
- 1:18:41 Zona.
- 1:18:42 Therefore, Zona must know who he is.
- 1:18:44 In Russia he would have been arrested unless suspicious. You can't arrest a man as powerful as Monte Cristo in society.
- 1:18:52 The bar is proof.
- 1:18:58 I think I know how I can get it.
- 1:19:02 Would you gentlemen be interested in joining me in a psychological experiment?
- 1:19:06 Present my compliments to Her Royal Highness and ask her to be kind enough to come down here for a moment.
- 1:19:10 Ask Your Royal Highness to come here?
- 1:19:13 I think she'd be glad to come.
- 1:19:16 if you mention that it concerns the torch.
- 1:19:21 Lord, Your Highness.
- 1:19:29 I don't understand why you asked me to come here.
- 1:19:32 I wanted to prepare your Royal Highness for a shock.
- 1:19:36 I know how great your interest must be in a man who has risked his life in your service.
- 1:19:41 My service?
- 1:19:43 A short time ago, Prince Pavlov was robbed of his copy of our agreement by the torch.
- 1:19:49 but not without a struggle during which the torch lost the one clue which makes his capture inevitable.
- 1:19:55 My men are closing in on him at this moment.
- 1:19:58 Why do you tell me this?
- 1:20:01 or to soften your natural grief at the news of his capture and sentence. His activities forced me to make an example of him.
- 1:20:08 You will hang.
- 1:20:10 There is nothing else I can do.
- 1:20:13 Is that all you wanted to tell me General Lennon?
- 1:20:17 Why, yes.
- 1:20:19 Since when has the hanging of one man been of such great concern?
- 1:20:30 In Russia we are more forceful.
- 1:20:33 She's not interested to the torch.
- 1:20:36 Your experiment was not very successful. You must be patient by your problem.
- 1:20:41 This is only the beginning of my experiment.
- 1:21:05 Come in.
- 1:21:10 Zola. I'm a tan.
- 1:21:12 You must get away quickly. General Lennon's men are on their way to arrest you.
- 1:21:15 How did you find out?
- 1:21:16 In the struggle with Pavlov.
- 1:21:17 You left a clue.
- 1:21:18 There was no struggle with it.
- 1:21:21 Then why did Lerner tell me?
- 1:21:24 He's using me to trap you.
- 1:21:26 He'll follow me. Please go while there's still time. You'll be too late.
- 1:21:29 By morning the agreement he made with Pasloff would be in the hands of the people.
- 1:21:32 He'll be glad to save himself. But he doesn't need until morning to destroy you.
- 1:21:36 Please go, for my sake.
- 1:21:40 All right.
- 1:21:46 I'm going but I'll be back.
- 1:21:50 He told them to arrest the Count of Monte Cristo.
- 1:21:52 But he didn't say anything about the torch.
- 1:21:54 In the past, the Count of Monte Cristo has protected the torch. Now it's the torch's turn to protect Monte Cristo.
- 1:22:02 If only you had been Zora, that.
- 1:22:04 Edmund.
- 1:22:05 I'm afraid.
- 1:22:06 I fear we may never see each other.
- 1:22:09 Please.
- 1:22:10 Just for one instant, let me be Zona Fathom.
- 1:22:23 Guard off.
- 1:22:26 Guard every exit.
- 1:22:28 Arrest the Count of Mighty Crystal on sight.
- 1:22:34 God.
- 1:22:37 Go on, the patchy.
- 1:22:39 Rest the counter Monte Cristo unsafe.
- 1:22:41 There are gods everywhere. How are you going to escape?
- 1:22:45 Through the fireplace.
- 1:22:46 Amen.
- 1:22:47 The old fellows who built this palace used their imagination.
- 1:22:57 You love me?
- 1:22:57 More than anything in the whole world.
- 1:23:00 Keep seeing me until I get back. I've made arrangements for you to stay.
- 1:23:06 Will you please put down that sword?
- 1:23:09 I regret that a cell will not be as comfortable as your present
- 1:23:12 Quarters.
- 1:23:13 But it is only a temporary arrangement. I'm sorry to disappoint you.
- 1:23:28 Come on.
- 1:23:29 Arrest that man.
- 1:23:45 Seems I'm forced to accept your kind hospitality after all.
- 1:23:50 trouble you for the agreement that
- 1:23:52 Prince Pablo
- 1:23:55 because of your great interest in this document
- 1:23:57 I want you to see it returned to its rightful owner.
- 1:24:00 I mentioned once before I'll feel much easier when this
- 1:24:03 in the embassy safe.
- 1:24:04 At times, blind loyalty is dangerous.
- 1:24:07 Your friend, Lieutenant Dorner, for instance, tried to warn you that we were coming for you. This is the first time I've permitted my feelings to come before my duty.
- 1:24:15 But I couldn't see them take you.
- 1:24:17 He'll keep you company.
- 1:24:18 Where you're going
- 1:24:20 Take them away.
- 1:24:21 Fall in.
- 1:24:22 - Marcion, march!
- 1:24:38 I
- 1:24:55 I understand now how my father must have felt.
- 1:24:57 20 years in a cell. I'd rather be dead than cooked up in a place like this.
- 1:25:02 Don't worry you'll get your wish. Kerkoland is very accommodating.
- 1:25:05 The torch, eh?
- 1:25:07 Here you are, Your Excellency.
- 1:25:09 A billy-do for you. Shall I wait for an answer?
- 1:25:14 It's an invitation to the wedding.
- 1:25:16 If you stand on your tiptoes, you might be able to see the palace from the scaffold.
- 1:25:21 I
- 1:25:29 I'm going to go.
- 1:25:40 I wonder why I never thought Gurkho Lanier had a sense of humor.
- 1:25:44 It's beautiful.
- 1:25:46 Just as you're the most beautiful bride that Lichtenberg will ever see.
- 1:25:49 Mathilde, don't.
- 1:25:50 Please, I'm sorry.
- 1:25:51 - Just no fool. - There must be some way.
- 1:25:54 How can I walk to an altar?
- 1:25:56 He's walking to the sky.
- 1:26:01 Perhaps if I beg General Lannan, he might save him at the last minute. Beg?
- 1:26:05 You can't do that.
- 1:26:07 I can do anything for him.
- 1:26:10 Just as he was willing to do anything for me.
- 1:26:19 Cloud is impatient for her royal highness.
- 1:26:21 Your Excellency.
- 1:26:22 to make an appearance.
- 1:26:23 time and time.
- 1:26:26 - Howdy.
- 1:26:29 All right. I...
- 1:26:31 Here they go.
- 1:26:39 You're lovely.
- 1:26:41 But don't you know that it's bad luck for the groom to see the bride in her bridal gown before they meet at the altar?
- 1:26:47 That is, it would be bad luck if I believed in luck.
- 1:26:53 They're waiting for us.
- 1:26:55 General Lannan.
- 1:26:56 I know you're a man without mercy, but I must ask you for a minute.
- 1:27:01 At this moment you've realized all your dreams.
- 1:27:03 Your star is shining in the high heaven.
- 1:27:06 You have what you want.
- 1:27:07 Yes, I have everything I want.
- 1:27:11 I had something
- 1:27:14 Your wedding present.
- 1:27:17 I do hope that it will be.
- 1:27:19 You have the power to give me something that will make me very happy.
- 1:27:23 The life of Monte Cristo.
- 1:27:26 His liberty.
- 1:27:27 Please, send him back to France. He can't hurt you now.
- 1:27:30 But he can hurt me.
- 1:27:33 Not as the torch, but as a man who has held you in his arms and kissed you.
- 1:27:37 If he were alive, I would remember that every time I looked at you.
- 1:27:47 Here we go.
- 1:28:02 Good people of Luxenburg,
- 1:28:04 Her Royal Highness and I...
- 1:28:06 Thank you for this demonstration of your loyalty.
- 1:28:09 Affection?
- 1:28:11 And happiness at our marriage.
- 1:28:15 Her Royal Highness finds it difficult to speak to you.
- 1:28:19 Because of the depth of her emotion.
- 1:28:22 But I'm sure that...
- 1:28:24 She will join me.
- 1:28:26 in saying that this is the happiest day
- 1:28:28 Of her life.
- 1:28:33 This is the happiest day of my life.
- 1:28:44 I'll take care of you.
- 1:28:54 I guess they're ready.
- 1:29:03 It would have been worth coming to Lichtenberg just to know you.
- 1:29:07 for no other reason.
- 1:29:10 I'm glad I'm gonna be with you.
- 1:29:12 you mean?
- 1:29:19 Who goes there? That's very prisoners from Brinkford.
- 1:29:25 Come on.
- 1:29:35 Come on.
- 1:29:42 - Come.
- 1:29:43 Fire!
- 1:29:45 Come on.
- 1:29:51 Come on.
- 1:29:52 March!
- 1:29:54 Oh, my God.
- 1:30:01 - Come on!
- 1:30:04 Get in that trail!
- 1:30:06 Oh.
- 1:30:07 - Find the new horse. - Disarm them. We'll leave you. Bring your keys. - I will stay to watch. - Right there.
- 1:30:16 Come on.
- 1:30:18 Adam!
- 1:30:20 - Madam, here. - Hold up the door.
- 1:30:26 Get back there. You didn't think we just stand by to see you die. It's all planned. You're going back to France.
- 1:30:31 No, you're wrong.
- 1:30:32 If you get me out of here I'm going to a wedding that's about to take place. Edmund left well enough alone.
- 1:30:36 We're grateful for your life.
- 1:30:38 You've done all that any man can do.
- 1:30:39 From now on the fight is ours. Not while there's a copy of that Russian agreement in Pavlov's safe. It's too late for that now.
- 1:30:45 The moment Gurko marries Zola he becomes co-ruler of Lichtenberg.
- 1:30:48 with the powers of a king.
- 1:30:50 Even if we had the evidence there's no time to use it.
- 1:30:52 - And the palace is surrounded by troops. - Wait a minute, I think we could use it.
- 1:30:55 Without fighting the troops.
- 1:30:56 A good surprise is deadlier than an army.
- 1:30:59 Hans.
- 1:31:01 Can you make a hundred copies like this quickly?
- 1:31:02 Yes. How quickly?
- 1:31:04 Two hours, maybe one hour. Too long, half an hour.
- 1:31:06 I'll try. Good, start now. Edmunds is madness. Of course it is. We're all madmen.
- 1:31:10 That's why we have the strength of a thousand ordinary men. Well said.
- 1:31:27 I'm going to go.
- 1:31:37 The ambassador of his imperial majesty.
- 1:31:41 to just the man we're looking for.
- 1:31:42 Open that safe.
- 1:31:43 I refuse.
- 1:31:44 Open it.
- 1:31:46 Very well.
- 1:31:47 But I warn you, only under protest. You write your protest after we leave.
- 1:32:04 Good morning, Christos!
- 1:32:06 That's mine. You all look marvelous, Sam.
- 1:32:08 Where's Hans? He's not here yet. What?
- 1:32:10 No. I'm waiting for you.
- 1:32:13 I did it.
- 1:32:14 But the press will never be the same. I knew you'd do it. Pass these out.
- 1:32:17 Now listen, everyone.
- 1:32:19 Remember to look and act as though you really had been invited.
- 1:32:21 Be on your dignity as befits the occasion.
- 1:32:23 Once you're inside the palace mingle with the guests.
- 1:32:26 But take up positions where you can watch every door and every window and every soldier in the ballroom.
- 1:32:30 Then wait for me. We might get into the palace.
- 1:32:32 But how will the Baron you and daughter get in? You're marked men. They'll shoot you on sight. I know. We have to capture the guards outside the palace. What? The three of you?
- 1:32:39 We're all agreed the wedding must be stopped, aren't we? - Yes! - Well then, let's stop it!
- 1:32:56 But this...
- 1:32:57 I'm extremely sorry, my dear Baron.
- 1:32:58 I don't wish to offend the Count Vombrowski.
- 1:33:00 For my instructions are to admit no one without an invitation. In that case, we shall both leave. Oh, but my dear Baron, you were invited.
- 1:33:07 You must.
- 1:33:08 Dick. I'm sorry.
- 1:33:09 The invitation's in.
- 1:33:14 I've ordered my carriage to return at 11:00.
- 1:33:16 Do you think the ceremony will be over by then?
- 1:33:18 Oh, yes, sir, I'm sure.
- 1:33:20 Thank you, sir.
- 1:33:21 The invitation is gentling.
- 1:33:40 I think it'll work.
- 1:33:42 It has to work.
- 1:33:54 I'm sorry.
- 1:33:55 Our Royal Highness Sona.
- 1:33:57 Grand Duchess of Lichtenberg.
- 1:34:10 There, there, now is God.
- 1:34:33 past the Ozone of
- 1:34:35 A good and unconstrained will
- 1:34:38 and a firm intention to take unto thyself to husband
- 1:34:42 This man, Gurko...
- 1:34:44 whom thou seest here before thee,
- 1:34:48 I have.
- 1:34:50 Thou hast not promised thyself
- 1:34:52 to any other man?
- 1:34:55 I have not promised myself.
- 1:34:57 Your evidence.
- 1:35:01 We let that torch get away.
- 1:35:04 And there's 50,000 croon around his head. Never mind his head, but your neck.
- 1:35:07 The guy that we built for him, Gercol used for us.
- 1:35:16 I'm free. Help me. Help yourself. I'm on the way to the palace. There might still be time.
- 1:35:23 The servant of God, Gurko.
- 1:35:25 is crowned unto the handmaiden of God's owner
- 1:35:30 If Crystal wasn't here in another minute...
- 1:35:33 Lichtenberg will have a new king.
- 1:35:34 The handmaiden of God's owner.
- 1:35:37 is crowned
- 1:35:38 unto the servant of God
- 1:35:40 Gore call.
- 1:35:42 Signal or no signal, I'm not gonna see my queen marry that. Quiet, you fool. You're on everything.
- 1:35:47 Where's the Captain of the dark?
- 1:35:50 Monte Cristo, the torch has escaped.
- 1:35:52 And there's 50,000 Conan on his head. Why tell me?
- 1:35:54 Won't be my luck to catch him. He'll never come here.
- 1:35:57 Why not?
- 1:35:58 I have an invitation to the wedding from General Lannan himself. Haven't I, jailer? There he is. The torch. The torch.
- 1:36:15 Come on, bring him!
- 1:36:26 Come on.
- 1:36:28 Come eat it.
- 1:36:37 We're talking!
- 1:36:40 Break it down!
- 1:36:44 Yell until they're hoished.
- 1:36:45 No one will hear them from in there.
- 1:36:46 We'll get in the old way through.
- 1:36:47 the fireplace and meet Crystal on the balcony.
- 1:36:50 If there be any among you who know why these two servants of God should not be wed,
- 1:36:58 Let him...
- 1:36:58 Speak now.
- 1:37:00 or forever after
- 1:37:02 Hold his peace. I suggest the General Lannan is best fitted to answer that question.
- 1:37:07 - The torch.
- 1:37:09 Yes, the torch.
- 1:37:10 Not a man, a mask and a cloak.
- 1:37:12 but the symbol of our liberty.
- 1:37:14 The son of a man who devoted his life to the defeat of persecution and injustice.
- 1:37:19 The Count of Monte Cristo. There's no need to present me to General Lannan.
- 1:37:24 We're all friends.
- 1:37:26 Arrest those men!
- 1:37:36 Here you are, everyone.
- 1:37:38 It's my extreme pleasure to inform you that your guards are prisoners.
- 1:37:41 And you're taking orders from me.
- 1:37:42 And the palace is completely surrounded.
- 1:37:50 You got to land in.
- 1:37:52 I arrest you in the name of the people of Lichtenberg for the crime of high treason against the state.
- 1:37:56 The penalty for which is death.
- 1:37:59 What can we do to this room?
- 1:38:08 - What's wrong with you?
- 1:38:09 There'll be no survivors of the throne of Lichtenberg.
- 1:38:12 Proceed with the ceremony.
- 1:38:15 In another moment, Baron von Neuhof.
- 1:38:17 You can present your charges to your king.
- 1:38:21 Well...
- 1:38:22 Go on, surely you haven't forgotten the words.
- 1:38:27 Repeat after me.
- 1:38:30 Aye, Gorko.
- 1:38:32 Aye, Gherku.
- 1:38:34 pledge my life and my love to Zona,
- 1:38:37 pledge my life and my love to Sona.
- 1:38:40 To hold and to cherish her
- 1:38:43 Until death do part.
- 1:38:46 To hold and to cherish her...
- 1:38:49 Until death us do part.
- 1:38:53 Repeat after me.
- 1:38:55 Aye, Zona.
- 1:38:58 Eyes on her.
- 1:39:00 Fledge my life and my love.
- 1:39:02 To Gurkow?
- 1:39:13 pledge my life and my love to Gerco.
- 1:39:18 To hold and to cherish him...
- 1:39:20 Until death us do part.
- 1:39:24 To hold...
- 1:39:25 and to cherish him.
- 1:39:28 Until death us do part.
- 1:39:31 Your right hand.
- 1:39:36 Your right-hand zoner?
- 1:39:39 With this ring...
- 1:39:41 I do thee wed with this ring. I do thee wed.
- 1:39:55 Don't shoot!
- 1:39:57 This is my privilege.
- 1:40:00 What, running from the throne, General Lannan?
- 1:40:02 Let's go.
- 1:40:12 I feel your fall will be as spectacular as you'll rise.
- 1:40:27 Remember, I thought I'd be back.
- 1:40:30 Long live Zona of Lichtenberg! Long live the royal palace!
- 1:40:36 This is really the happiness.
- 1:40:38 Long live the Count of Monte Cristo! Long live the Count of Monte Cristo!
- 1:40:53 Come on.
- 1:40:54 the
