Mata Hari, agent H21 Page #2

What do you think of it?

Very nice.

Would you like a drink, Captain?

No, thank you. I'm not thirsty.

Don't forget

that you came here for a drink.

All right, but no alcohol.

Some tea from Java?

It's like Ceylon tea but more bitter.

Yes, some tea from Java.

- What's up?

- The briefcase.

Come here.

- So?

- It's a catastrophe.

- Look...

- It's not the same?

No.

His is attached to the chair.

Mine doesn't have handcuffs.

I must take his.

Impossible, it's locked to the chair.

I'll take the briefcase and the chair.

You're crazy!

Open the briefcase

and swap the documents.

Right. Let's do that.

Take the chair.

Do you need any help?

I'm fine. Thank you.

A fork!

- What are you doing?

- Making tea... I told him I would.

Give me a knife.

- Try with this.

- Ridiculous.

Take the chair.

It's the only solution.

- All right.

- Wait!

Be back before 5 a.m.

He has a train to catch.

Let's go.

Before five o'clock.

- What happened?

- I dropped the tray.

- Let me help you.

- No, forget it.

Never mind.

I'll not know Java tea.

I'm sorry.

I thought I saw a mouse.

It's daylight.

- It went by so fast.

- What time is it?

My train!

Don't move.

I'll check the time.

My God!

We still have time.

What's wrong?

- Just my luck!

- It's not my fault.

We must find a taxi.

Franois, it's so unfair!

- I'll go to the station with you.

- There's no time.

I'm almost ready.

I won't be a minute.

No taxi?

They've been summoned

to the Marne.

Franois, help me

button up my dress.

- Let's hurry.

- Franois, do you love me?

We must go.

Henri, over here!

- Do you know what I'm feeling?

- Yes.

- Do you feel the same way?

- I do.

Then don't be sad.

It's only the beginning.

It's impossible, Franois.

We can't talk like this.

I regret...

What do you regret?

Is there someone else?

Several others?

How many?

You can't imagine.

- I might guess.

- No, you can't.

I've heard many stories about you.

I don't care.

It's not that.

I wish we had met before the war.

You may have known many men

but I've known few women.

So it balances out.

- Marry me when I come back.

- No, Franois.

No, I can't.

I don't want to.

Ill write you when I arrive.

Don't write me.

Write me.

Don't cry, Marie.

In the morning, shells were dropped

over the region of Nancy.

The Courtine front suffered

at least four enemy attacks.

Our forces immediately

stopped the offensive.

The enemy attacked Champagne yesterday

by dropping toxic bombs.

In Artois, the fighting

was particularly intense.

Overnight, the Germans launched

grenade attacks north of the Meuse.

Our infantry has set its position...

The government should...

Good morning, Julien.

Hello, Charlotte.

Your mail, Miss.

Thank you, Julien.

Strawberries! I'll take two.

Let's see...

Probably a bill.

This one too.

This one certainly is.

That crazy man again.

He writes me every day!

A small parcel.

Must be a gift.

She would sell cakes below

nicely wrapped, you know

in paper coloured yellow

tied together with a bow.

I have to thank you, Miss.

My son is very happy

with his phonograph.

What is he thinking?

I'll send back these earrings

to Gaston, the idiot.

They're beautiful.

They match your necklace.

That's right, Charlotte.

Bring me my necklace.

Julien, give me some sugar.

Behind you.

Thank you.

Make me a piece of toast.

Is there any plum jam left?

- I think so, but...

- Don't move. I know where it is.

Julien, you'll have to collect

my fur collar today. It's ready.

And some books from Lemaire's.

Very well, Miss.

She was a baker

on Croissant Street.

Her nice manners

attracted the elite.

- Here, Miss.

- I'll help you.

Gaston is an imbecile

but he has good taste.

Let's move!

My Javanese love.

I've been wounded

by pieces of shrapnel.

My leg is injured,

but my helmet saved my life.

A priest told me yesterday

his thoughts on the war.

Common sense belongs to pretty women

like you, and to old priests.

My friend died right next to me

after just becoming an officer.

I think of our night together

and can't forgive myself...

... for having fallen asleep

and for letting you fall asleep.

Outside the window

the scenery is soothing.

I would like to describe

each house, each tree

to give you the desire

to visit me here soon.

Come, my love.

I'll hold and caress you

while you watch over me

as I kiss your lips with passion.

Franois.

The lady is served.

Get out of here.

There is no room

for a clown in my bed.

Do you understand?

Leave at once.

I never want to see you again

in my bed.

Understand?

Charlotte!

Prepare my luggage,

I'm going to Narbonne.

Tell Julien to prepare the car.

She liked to bake

little chocolate cakes.

- Your dress isn't ready.

- I'll do without it.

Wait!

Stop!

Don't go!

Wait!

Stop, stop!

What do you want?

So, Greta?

Leaving without giving ammunition

to your father?

Here.

You forget I eat twice a day.

- Will you be away long?

- I don't know.

Go!

- Will you write me?

- No.

Can't you ever say

"No, Papa"?

I'd like to see Captain Lassalle.

Visiting hours are over.

Come back in the morning.

Forgive me but I just arrived

from Paris. Please.

I'm sorry but it's too late.

- Can you tell me how he is?

- Sorry, Miss...

I spoke to Mother about our marriage.

Of course, she said I'm crazy.

But it doesn't matter.

We'll have a secret wedding.

Are you crying?

Don't you want to marry me?

It's my greatest desire

but it scares me to talk about it.

You think I might die in the war?

No, Franois.

Even if I did

I'd like you to wear my name.

Don't say that.

If you died, I'd die too,

soon after you.

I'm not afraid to die.

It doesn't worry me.

Death is part of life.

It's inevitable, you understand?

Inevitable.

- How did you get in?

- Relax.

- What are you doing here?

- I didn't mean to scare you.

Get out!

- Not until I explain something.

- Be quick!

First, sit down.

- The Germans have a mission for you.

- You'll get nothing from me.

Miss, the French officers

tell their new recruits

"We're soldiers 24 hours a day."

It's the same with us.

Spies don't have holidays.

"If you are no longer with us..."

"... you are against us."

I know.

Tell yourself you have signed

with the Kaiser

a unilateral contract.

Here's what the mission is about...

Inside the safe in the Citadel,

there is a document

very valuable to us.

It's the plans of a gun factory.

They must get to Barcelona urgently.

What do you say?

I wish you would show

more interest.

But never mind, I'll continue.

You may wonder how a woman

can enter the Citadel.

The director of the fortress,

Colonel Pelletier,

is an excellent officer

but he has a weakness.

Women.

Right. Very well...

A piece of paper.

Here regarding the vault...

Second floor, Room 7.

The code for the safe is 381.813.

As for the key to the safe...

that's where you are invaluable.

The key never leaves

Colonel Pelletier.

You know what I mean.
