Mata Hari Page #5

Perhaps not. You and Rosanoff may get

out of this, but I don't think so.

Rosanoff?

- And what has he to do with it?

- Everything.

Rosanoff is a traitor. He permitted you

to copy his dispatches.

- That's not true.

- Fortunately...

...this time it isn't a question

of anyone's word. I have proof.

Proof that you gave me yourself.

You've stood that boy against a wall,

just as surely as you're standing there.

I never knew that anyone

could be so vile.

Vile? Not at all, madame,

I'm simply doing my duty.

How ironic, you love a man

and send him to his death.

Hello.

- Official-27.

- Don't do it, Shubin.

I beg you not to do it.

Hello? His Excellency's secretary, please.

- Leave him out of this. He's innocent.

- Hello, this is General Shubin speaking...

...I must speak to His Excellency at once.

- I'm warning you.

- Don't, don't do it!

- Hello, Your Excellency?

I'm coming to the embassy at once.

I must speak to you

on a most urgent matter.

Shubin, if you don't stop...

- Hello, Excellency?

- Shubin!

I'll explain when I arrive. In the meantime,

order the immediate arrest of...

- What do you want here?

- You.

Why, you must be mad.

Why haven't you left yet?

- But l...

- I told you. I told you I'm not for you.

Before I go, I want to tell you this.

Whatever you've been,

whatever you are, whatever you will be...

...we belong to each other.

- Alexis, it can't be.

I am what I am. You don't know me.

Go away and forget me.

Forget you? How can I?

- Could you? Could you forget us?

- Women like me are trained to forget.

We mustn't admit a heart.

- You are lying. You know you are lying.

- I am not.

- You are.

- No!

You're crying, Mata. You do love me.

Don't you?

Don't you?

- Alexis, you must leave.

- I won't. I won't until you come.

- It's your duty to go.

- No.

Alexis, please go now.

When it's all over, if you still want me,

I'll come to you no matter where you are.

I'll come to you, I swear it.

But go now.

General Shubin? General Shubin?

General Shubin, Dubois speaking.

Something strange about this.

You got something to open this door?

- I'll get something.

- Yeah.

- Will this do?

- Yes, fine.

- That's hardly a surprise.

- Suicide.

- Suicide.

- He's only been dead a few minutes.

Probably long enough for Madame Mata Hari

to destroy all the proof he told us about.

- Who are you?

- Russian embassy.

Shubin was talking to His Excellency.

There was a woman's scream and a shot.

- See if she's overlooked anything.

- Is he dead?

- Yes. A woman's voice, huh?

- Screaming.

And the word of a dead man.

Come on.

All the papers are saying it's a suicide.

If everyone's convinced,

what's the use of my hiding like this?

Dubois may be doing that

merely to trap you.

- It's unfortunate you found it necessary to...

- I'm the best judge of that.

- Have you still got you Dutch passport?

- Yes.

It doesn't suit my plans

to have you arrested.

You're sailing tonight for Amsterdam.

I'll go anyplace gladly

after three days of this. It's too ridiculous.

And furthermore, your usefulness in Paris

is permanently over.

Here is the list of the Allied agents

in Belgium.

Commit those names to memory

and then destroy it.

And report to H-12 immediately

you arrive in Amsterdam.

- Come in.

- Well, what is it?

- Madame sent for me.

- Yes.

I want him to get a letter through.

- For Lieutenant Rosanoff.

- Rosanoff? But he is...

- What is it? What were you going to say?

- Well, l...

Get out. Get out!

Something's happened to him.

Tell me what it is.

He's dead.

Dead?

- How?

- Plane crash.

Just this side of the enemy line.

It's too late to do anything for him now.

No sense in your risking...

- Don't talk to me.

- Well, maybe I'm wrong, of course.

Maybe he's only injured.

Yes, that's it, I think.

Well, can't you remember?

You must remember.

Why is it so important to you?

Where are you going?

- I'm going to find out.

- Wait a minute. Don't lose your head.

After all, he's not dead, he's only injured.

- And where is he?

- I don't know, some hospital, I suppose.

- Well, I'll find out.

- And be arrested?

The police are probably looking

for you now.

- Remember, you have your orders.

- What do I care for your orders?

You can't frighten me. I'm not carlotta.

I'm Mata Hari and my own master.

Here are your orders. I resign.

- Not so loud, someone will hear you.

- Oh, so you resign?

Very well, Mata Hari,

I accept your resignation.

- You'll let her resign?

- My dear Durand, you ought to know.

The only way to resign from our profession

is to die.

- Wait here.

- Yes, ma'am.

Flowers, madame. Flowers. Nice flowers.

- How much?

- Two francs.

Thank you.

- Room 1, that corridor.

- Thank you.

Could you tell me...?

Could you tell me where Room 1 is?

I'm afraid you'll have

to ask someone else.

Sister Teresa, some water, please.

Here. Here it is.

Mata.

It's all my fault, Alexis.

If I hadn't kept you...

If I'd let you go sooner,

this wouldn't have happened.

It would have happened just the same.

Really, Mata, you mustn't blame yourself.

I'll spend my life trying

to make it up to you.

Oh, but I'm going to be all...

- I'll be out of here any day now.

- On that day, we'll be married.

But, Mata...

You asked me, didn't you?

There is so much ahead of us.

Everything. But I must tell you something.

And as soon as the war is over,

we'll go away...

...to all the places

that were made for lovers.

- And, oh, the things we'll see together.

- Don't, please.

- What?

- I don't want to frighten you, but...

What is it?

It would be glorious to go with you...

...but I may never be able

to see all those splendid things.

Is it your eyes?

Here are your eyes.

What's wrong with them?

With those "ridiculously long lashes,"

as you said.

Now, please, it isn't worth crying about.

I'm happier this moment

than I've ever been in all my life.

What do the doctors say?

They aren't very optimistic.

But you know what doctors are.

- They don't know anything.

- No.

I'll get you great specialists.

They'll make you see.

We'll travel all over the world

till we find the right man.

I'll never leave you again.

Gentlemen, I appeal to you.

That man, he's been molesting me.

What? I'll handle this.

I haven't done anything.

- Back to Paris. Quick.

- Yes, miss.

Madame, I have a warrant for your arrest.

Be careful you don't have

to apologize again, Dubois.

Now, Monsieur Dubois...

...you say that General Shubin

admitted over the telephone...

...that Mata Hari was an enemy spy?

- Yes.

- He had indisputable proof she was a spy?

- Yes.

General Shubin told you, also,

that she was there with him...

...while he was talking with you?

- Yes.

And you went there immediately, and you

found that Shubin had been murdered?

- Yes.

- That's all. Thank you.

Does the defense wish to question

the witness?

No, I don't care to prolong this farce.

You've not brought to that stand one
