[bunniefuu]

[intriguing music playing]

Is anyone there?

Help!

Help!

- Is there a doctor?

- [groaning]

- [Éléonore] Help! Help! Doctor!

- [door opens]

- [Joseph] Yes, ma'am?

- [Éléonore] You need to attend to my son!

- [groaning]

- [Éléonore] Now!

- [Joseph] What happened?

- [Éléonore] He crushed his hand!

[Joseph] How did it happen?

I I need to look at it.

Let me see. Let me see.

No! No, no! Don't touch

No! Don't touch! No!

- [Éléonore exclaims]

- [groaning]

He needs surgery now.

[screaming in agony]

[Charles groaning]

- [Joseph] Wait here, please.

- [groaning continues]

- [groaning continues]

- [Joseph] Breathe.

- Let me see.

- [Charles gasping]

[Joseph] Okay.

[Charles] Ahh! It's too painful.

All the bones are crushed.

I can't save it. We need to amputate.

- No!

- [Joseph] Calm down.

No, doctor, please! I beg you, sir!

- No!

- [Joseph] Chloroform!

[Charles panting] No!

- [Joseph] Chloroform!

- No!

[muffled grunting]

EPISODE 6

- [gas hissing]

- [soldier] What is this smoke?

It smells like chlorine!

- [soldiers coughing]

- [soldier 1] Fall back!

[soldier 2] Fall back!

- [soldier 1] Chlorine!

- [soldier 2] Fall back!

- [coughing continues]

- [soldier] The Germans!

- [soldier 1] Fall back! Let's go!

- [soldier 2] The Germans!

[coughing continues]

[all singing prayer]

Saint John tells us

not to deny the love of God.

On the contrary,

let Him abide within us,

and let Him remain pure and perfect in us.

Amen.

[inhales deeply]

[exhales deeply]

[bell ringing]

[church bell ringing]

[man 1] Hurry!

Wounded soldiers have arrived again!

[man 2] Bring the stretchers!

[soldiers coughing]

- [sister] Come help!

- [coughing continues]

[sister] Put them upstairs.

- [indistinct chatter]

- [soldiers groaning]

- [man] Doctor!

- [vomits]

Hey! Hey! What happened?

Tell me where it hurts!

[weakly] Gas

[coughing] They used gas on us.

[somber music playing]

[wounded coughing and groaning]

How many losses are there?

[Joseph] Twenty soldiers

in less than an hour.

All suffering from respiratory distress

which worsens by the hour.

They're dropping like flies.

As if the gas is eating them from within.

All I can do is ease their suffering

with oxygen and atropine.

I must speak with your husband, ma'am.

Oh, why is that?

I need an aviator to

conduct reconnaissance flights.

He's in no condition to fly.

He's the only one we have at our disposal.

We really need him.

Go and get him.

[menacing music playing]

I saw you with Father Vautrin last night.

Yes, the Reverend Father has kindly

agreed to help me prepare for my vows.

After midnight?

Are you sure there's nothing else?

You can talk to me.

I'm here for you.

I can hear everything, my child.

Father Vautrin is my guide

on the path to the Lord.

All men of God do that.

What do men of God do?

Geneviève?

- Geneviève!

- [door opens]

You need to talk to me.

It's a divine act.

He wants you to believe that.

- [voice breaks] Please leave me alone.

- No, I can't!

Geneviève, look at me.

What he's doing to you, it's

it's forbidden.

It's a crime!

Are you jealous?

- Because he's interested in me?

- No, not at all.

My child

[Geneviève crying]

- Mother Agnès, what's going on?

- It's Geneviève.

Tell me.

Father Vautrin abuses her.

He uses her faith to manipulate her.

I'll go to the diocese

to report him.

Did she tell you anything?

Do you have proof?

Without her testimony,

there's not much you can do.

You have to convince her to talk.

And your soldier, where is he?

He left.

[Agnès] God,

I was ready to give up my vows.

But last night you called me back.

I will denounce infamy.

No man, whoever he may be,

shall harm Geneviève

and tarnish the image of the Church.

Please, give me the strength to fight.

[dramatic music playing]

- [indistinct chatter]

- [man] Evacuate the gas casualties first!

- [soldiers coughing]

- [woman 1] I'm here! I'll help you!

[woman 2] I'm here, too!

There's space in my ambulance!

- [wounded groaning]

- [man] Quick! Quick!

[bittersweet music playing]

[man] Hurry!

[bittersweet music continues]

Hey, Colin.

All is well?

That is some putrid sh*t the Krauts used.

Do you have a minute?

I've got something to tell you.

Do you know the difference

between a son of an ambulance driver,

a son of a wh*re,

and a Saint-Cyrian?

There isn't one.

I'm not sure what you're talking about.

Mmm, don't you find it strange that

the redhead's been following you around?

- Marguerite?

- Mmm.

Yeah, Marguerite.

Here.

This is the public assistant number.

I suggest you give them a call.

They'll have a thing or two to tell you.

[pensive music playing]

[Duvernet] This w*r with the Germans

is getting dirtier and dirtier.

This is the first time

they've used gas to push us back.

[sighs]

We have a major offensive

planned against the Germans.

The attack plans are ready,

but the gas has jeopardized everything.

We have to find out where they store

their gas and how much they have.

It's impossible for us to plan our

next offensive without this information.

I'll do a reconnaissance flight.

[Duvernet] As soon as possible.

Poincaré's battalions will soon be here.

Yes, General.

It seems you're famous now.

FOUR WOMEN AT THE SERVICE OF FRANCE

If people knew that one of their heroines

was beaten by her husband

You're completely wrong.

Jeanne.

I'm a doctor, remember.

That wasn't from your fall.

- You should mind your own business.

- You deserve better.

If you need, I'm here.

[bell tolling in background]

[bell tolling]

Geneviève.

How long has it been going on?

[coughing and spitting]

When was your last menstruation?

Three months ago.

You're pregnant.

No one needs to know about this.

Whatever you decide,

I'll support you, don't worry.

But he mustn't find out that I know.

[grave music playing]

- [grave music continues]

- [wounded coughing]

Mrs. Dewitt? Morning.

Good morning.

How is he?

They had to amputate his hand.

I received a telegram from Paris.

Your son should have

produced the documents

confirming his status as the director

of an arms factory yesterday.

Otherwise, he would be

expected to report to the barracks.

[Éléonore] I don't understand.

My son works at the Ministry of w*r.

- He can't be drafted.

- That's not the information I received.

Anyway, don't worry,

with only one hand, he will be exempt.

How did it happen?

He was injured while handling a press.

It's strange, because he doesn't typically

operate the equipment, does he?

Mrs. Dewitt, did you know

that self-injury is punishable by prison?

My son builds ambulances

to help rescue soldiers.

- That's why he lost his hand.

- I understand.

When did you stop working at the ministry?

I was dismissed

six months ago.

[Éléonore sighs]

You didn't have to do this

to avoid the w*r.

Victor died on the battlefront.

The factory is yours.

They need beds.

You're being discharged today.

[somber music playing]

[Caroline] Mr. Dewitt will now

manage the factory.

As soon as he recovers,

he'll take over from me.

[Denise] But the factory is yours,

Mrs. Dewitt!

- No one else!

- I'm not the direct heiress, Denise.

- [Denise] Charles Dewitt knows nothing!

- [Janine] True.

He doesn't give a sh*t about the factory

or he wouldn't have left Saint-Paulin.

I agree, that Parisian,

he'll never know how to run it.

[Janine] And the only time

he touched a machine, he lost a hand.

[Denise] What was he

doing here in the middle of night?

Ladies, please. Come on.

Who says he'll keep us, anyway?

[footsteps approach]

[Éléonore] I came to tell you

that your jobs are secure.

You have my word.

Now, please return to your stations.

Our soldiers need our vehicles.

[claps] Come on, ladies. To your stations.

How is Charles?

I took him back home.

He was amputated.

I'm very sorry.

Really?

You hid my son's death from me.

I trusted you, Caroline.

You feared for your

position as head of the factory

You are wrong.

I did it to save what Victor has built.

I'm not going to throw you out.

There's Madeleine.

But if I could, I would.

[Charles yelling in distance] Mother!

Mother!

What are you doing

sitting on the ground, my darling?

Uncle Charles scares me.

He won't stop yelling.

Yes, I know.

I'm sorry.

We'll take good care of him

and he'll quiet down.

- [leg thumping]

- [Charles groaning]

- Raise your head. Lift your head.

- [Charles grunting]

There you go.

[mumbling] Mom.

- Stop.

- Mom.

- Stop, you're hurting me!

- Mom!

No! Enough!

- [grunting]

- You're hurting me, Charles, stop!

[Charles] Stay with me.

[exclaims] Sorry. Sorry, Mom.

I need you.

I need you.

- You need to rest.

- Mom, stay.

- You need to rest!

- [pleading] Stay. Stay with me.

[growls] I said rest!

[groans]

[somber music playing]

[Caroline] At least you could have stayed.

- You would have been exempted.

- Yes, but I have to go, anyway.

I'm an engineer

and I can help France differently.

You understand, right?

- Hmm?

- Mmm-hmm.

Don't worry. I'll be back in a month.

Hey.

I promise.

[dramatic music playing]

[dramatic music continues]

[sniffling] Stay here, sweetheart.

Yes, Denise?

It's It's Florence.

The ambulance driver spotted a house.

Requisitioned by the headquarters.

And they're asking us

to go and see it tonight.

It will distract us.

We all need it, don't we?

It would be nice if you came with us.

That's sweet, but I don't think so.

Marguerite isn't well.

Marcel told Colin everything.

She went to see him at the quarters.

She may need some support

when she gets back.

[somber music playing]

I'm looking for Colin. Where is he?

It's not the best time.

He's not doing well.

Please, I have to talk to him.

Come with me.

[dark music playing]

Colin.

No.

[Marguerite] No, wait!

Wait!

I got pregnant when I was 17

by a man I loved dearly.

When he found out, he left me

and never came back.

When my father found out about it,

he told me that I had shamed the family

and kicked me out.

I had to give birth to you alone

in a maid's quarters.

The first few months,

we spent them together,

but in living conditions

that were so difficult

I barely had enough to feed you.

And then things got worse,

so I had no choice.

I began selling myself.

Yeah.

I did it because we had nothing

and I wanted you to have everything!

Understand?

I wanted you to have a chance to make it!

And I couldn't give you

the life you deserved!

But being separated from you

I never got over it.

Never, I swear!

[sobbing] I never stopped loving you!

Four years ago, I tracked you down,

thanks to someone from welfare.

Colin, I've been watching over you

from a distance for four years

without daring to talk to you.

So when the w*r broke out

[yelling] When the w*r broke out, what?

Huh? What?

You thought you were gonna find me

to clear your conscience, right?

I just wanted to make your acquaintance.

I never planned on telling you who I was.

You weren't supposed

to find out like this.

I'm sorry, Colin

- No! No, no, no! No!

- I'm so sorry!

[somber music playing]

[indistinct merriment]

[indistinct chatter and laughter]

- Evening, Mrs. Dewitt.

- Good evening.

[Alice] Come join us, Denise.

This is Mrs. Dewitt.

I'm glad you ended up coming.

We're all here.

Something to drink?

- With pleasure, thanks.

- Come on! It'll be soothing.

- Thank you.

- It will do you good.

- [Denise] To you.

- [worker] To you!

- [Alice] And to us!

- [all cheering and whooping]

- [woman] To us girls!

- [all toasting and laughing]

[Alice] Irene, can you pass me some pie?

[merriment continues in background]

[Caroline] I'm glad

the general found you this house.

I'm sorry about Colin.

He should never have found out like that.

He'll never forgive me.

Give him time, you know.

One day he'll understand.

It's not a good idea.

[wistful music playing softly]

[expectant music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

[patrons chatting in French]

- [man] Hey, darling, how are you?

- Let go of me.

- It's been a while since we've seen you.

- Let go of me!

[man] Ahh!

[indistinct chatter continues]

- What the hell are you doing here?

- I need to talk to Marcel.

- He's busy.

- It's about Marguerite.

- [Marcel] Thank you, Bernard.

- Marcel. I'll let you know.

[Marcel] Very well.

[suspenseful music playing]

What do you want?

- [Juliette] It's Marguerite.

- What about her?

I saw her do things with the Dewitt lady.

And you know what?

I have a feeling it's not a new thing.

They seem to know each other quite well.

Mrs. Dewitt might be a former wh*re.

With her frigid attitude,

her beautiful car, and house

It shouldn't be difficult

to check the official lists, right?

- Once you're registered, it's for life.

- [Marcel grunts]

[phone ringing]

[ringing continues]

[knock on door]

- [knocking continues]

- [weakly] What?

Mr. Marcel Dumont on the phone.

- Hello?

- [Marcel] Hi, Charles.

I have information for you.

Your sister-in-law, she's a former wh*re.

And one of my girls saw her screwing

an ambulance driver, the redhead.

You should have k*lled her, Charles,

instead of messing up your hand.

Please send my condolences to your mother.

[suspenseful music playing softly]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Lucien] The Germans

store their gas in a warehouse here.

It's full to the brim.

They have enough to gas us

for days on end.

I took the liberty

of flying a little further

and I was able to see troops

heading towards Saint-Paulin.

There are five times more

German regiments than you estimated.

They want to weaken us with gas

while they wait for reinforcements

and launch

a major offensive on Saint-Paulin.

They're far more prepared than us.

The warehouse must be destroyed.

With all due respect, General,

this is a suicide mission.

With the gas, the men won't stand a chance

of crossing the forest

and reaching the warehouse.

We have no choice.

Launch the operation.

Yes, sir, General.

[Duvernet] Mr. Charrier, show me

where the German troops are positioned.

We'll have to rethink our next offensive.

[Lucien on phone] Karl, it's me.

The intel you asked me about,

the next offensive?

It's okay, I have it.

[Karl] I hope you didn't miss this time.

Claudine really wants to see her father.

Let's reconvene tomorrow

at 3:00 p.m. at the meeting place.

Don't disappoint me, Lucien.

This is your last chance.

[menacing music playing]

Jeanne.

I'll be right back.

Get ready now. We're leaving.

Not now.

- I have to take care of the wounded.

- We are leaving in five minutes!

If all goes well,

I won't need you after this.

Once this dressing's done, I'll join you.

You'd better.

[Joseph] Hey!

Don't touch her again.

Okay?

Very well.

[both grunting]

Don't touch her! Don't touch her!

[knife unsheathing]

- [knife slicing]

- [groaning]

[Joseph groaning]

[suspenseful music playing]

[door closing]

Let's go.

[captain] Soldiers!

The headquarters dispatched a pilot.

We've confirmed

the location of the gas storage.

The mission is clear and simple.

Destroy the building and return.

- Is that clear to everyone?

- Yes, Captain!

What about the gas?

That is precisely why we're going

to destroy their warehouse, soldier.

At the ready. We leave now.

Company, attention!

[soldier] Forward, march!

[dramatic music playing]

[soldier] This is suicide.

[captain] Let's go! Let's go! Speed up.

Forwards, forwards. Forward.

- [machine g*n firing]

- [soldier] Ahh!

- [captain] Take cover!

- [Colin] Take cover!

[soldiers yelling in German]

[captain in English] Take cover!

[expl*si*n]

[soldier screaming]

[Colin] Gus, grenade. Gus

[soldier] Colin! Grenade!

[soldier] Come on! Help me!

[soldiers yelling] Come on! Open fire!

[expl*si*n]

- Forward!

- [soldier] Open fire!

- Soldiers, forward!

- [soldiers screaming]

[captain] Get up! Come on!

- Move it! Move it! Go forward!

- [soldiers clamoring]

- [soldiers yelling]

- [captain] Forward! Come on!

[r*fles firing]

- [Colin] Forward!

- [Gus] Colin! Colin! Colin!

- [yelling] Let go of me! Let go of me!

- [p*stol firing]

[Gus screaming]

Get up! Soldier, that's an order!

Get up now!

[dark music playing]

- [gas hissing]

- [captain] f*ck! Gas!

- Gas.

- [Colin] Gus! Gus!

[Gus] No, let's go back! I can't!

I need to get back!

- Gus! Gus! You stay right there!

- [whimpers] I can't. I can't.

- [captain] Get down!

- [Gus] We're going to die! Let's go back!

- In position!

- Colin, control your men! Hold position!

- No! I'm going back!

- [captain] Nobody move!

- Colin, control your men!

- Fall in, soldiers!

sh**t them! sh**t them for God's sake!

[Colin] No! No, no, no! No!

- Hold your position, damn it!

- [Colin yells]

[captain groans]

Fall back! Go! Fall back!

[soldier] Come on! Fall back!

- Let's go!

- [soldier] Fall back!

[Colin] Lower down!

[somber music playing]

[dramatic music playing]

[dramatic music building]

[music stops]

Charles.

You're supposed to be in bed.

- Yes, but I'm hungry.

- [Caroline] Thank you.

[Éléonore] Germaine will

bring something to you upstairs.

No, thanks. I want to eat here.

Germaine.

Please set a place for me.

Yes, sir.

Go ahead while it's warm.

[Charles] Good evening, Caroline.

Good evening, Charles.

How are you? How are you holding up?

Are you coping

with the loss of my brother?

How was your little party

with the ambulance drivers?

Was it fun?

Huh?

Nothing to say?

Anyway, you're a real fighter.

By the way,

who's that red-haired woman

who often visits here?

What are you doing together?

It's nothing, Charles.

Mother, did you know

that Caroline was cheating on Victor

with a woman?

What are you talking about?

A former prost*tute.

Just like her.

A former wh*re.

A wh*re by profession.

She was so careful not to let us find out.

Is that true?

Victor knew all about my past.

I never cheated on my husband

with another man or woman.

You just waited for him to die

to f*ck your pretty redhead.

It was just a kiss from a friend.

Get out.

Tomorrow morning,

you will leave this house for good.

I said get out!

[chair slides]

[footsteps retreating]

[metal scrapes]

[liquid pouring]

[ominous music playing faintly]

[exclaims softly]

[Vautrin] Geneviève.

Come and join me.

I waited for you this morning.

You didn't come.

What's going on, my sweet Geneviève?

I don't want to do this anymore.

I thought that you

wanted to take your holy vows.

Did you speak to anyone?

I'm pregnant.

God says, "Take your only son,

the one you love, Isaac,

and offer him as a sacrifice."

God sometimes asks us

to make sacrifices to please Him.

He is testing us.

Do you understand, Geneviève?

You want to sacrifice the child?

But

God will punish us for this!

This child is one of sin,

your sin, Geneviève.

God knows very well you didn't give

yourself to me for His love, but by lust.

Everything about you is rotten, Geneviève.

You are a filthy vixen

who leads men into temptation!

The only way to save

your soul from damnation

is to erase your mistake.

Tomorrow, someone will

take you to Pont-à-Mousson,

and there,

a woman will take care of your problem.

And you'll be fine!

[dark music playing]

[Geneviève crying softly]

[dark music continues]

[crying]

[Agnès] Geneviève! Geneviève!

What's the matter, my child?

Talk to me! What's going on?

Father Vautrin, he came to see me.

He wants

He wants to sacrifice

my child to save my soul, and

[crying] And

To save your soul, Geneviève?

He just wants to get rid of the evidence.

And you know it!

It has nothing to do with sacrifice.

He abused you.

He r*ped you.

You have done nothing wrong, my child.

[dark music continues]

[door slams]

I know what you did to Geneviève.

How could you?

You are despicable!

Only God can judge men.

Do you think you are God, Mother Agnès?

God has already judged you.

And I'll ensure

that the diocese does the same.

[Vautrin] Hmm.

I wouldn't venture down

that road if I were you.

As in the kingdom of sins,

everyone is guilty.

And if you go to the diocese

don't forget to tell them

that you broke your vows.

With a German.

Hmm?

A spy, who knows?

[menacing music playing faintly]

It was moving

to witness your first time.

Hmm?

Think about it.

Do not jeopardize

the peace of the convent.

Let's keep the peace

since you and I have done nothing wrong.

[menacing music continues]

[suspenseful music playing]

[door opens]

[suspenseful music continues]

[gasps]

[suspenseful music continues]

[dramatic music playing]

[bell tolling]

- [bell tolling]

- [dramatic music continues]

[Agnès gasps loudly]

[exclaiming indistinctly]

[Agnès exclaims hysterically]

[Agnès yells] Help! Help!

[yells] Help me!

Help! Please help! Help!

[sweeping music playing]
