0:49

let the 2025

0:52

spooky shenanigans

0:56

begin. I'm here today to tell

0:58

you about another audio drama I

1:00

think you'd like. The Count of

1:02

Monte Cristo is an audio drama

1:05

adaptation of, you guessed it, the

1:07

Count of Monte Cristo. If you're

1:09

not familiar with the story, here's

1:11

a bit about it. After a

1:13

fateful meeting abroad, the enigmatic

1:16

Count of Monte Cristo arrives

1:18

in Paris. Mysterious and tragic

1:20

happenings quickly follow, threatening the

1:22

Parisian upper class in unimaginable

1:25

ways. As Star-crossed lovers,

1:27

scheming sink-offents and ambitious

1:29

criminals strive for what

1:31

they think they deserve,

1:33

questions arise about Paris'

1:35

new, fabulously wealthy resident.

1:37

Not just about why the Count

1:40

of Monte Cristo has come to

1:42

Paris, but about the secrets

1:44

that lurk behind his inscrutable

1:46

facade. Listen on to hear episode

1:48

3, where the Count of Monte

1:51

Cristo hosts the dinner party. The

1:53

Count of Monte Cristo

1:55

contains mature content, including

1:57

violence, suicide, discriminatory language,

2:00

and other... Other traumatic

2:06

themes,

2:10

listener

2:14

discretion,

2:18

is

2:22

advised.

2:47

Valentine, wait, wait, it's me, it's

2:49

Maximilian. You startled me, forgive me.

2:51

There was a guard, so I

2:53

thought it was best to stay

2:56

concealed. Oh, I wish I could

2:58

see you. I wish I could

3:00

kiss you. I wish I could

3:02

kiss you. I wish we did

3:04

not have to hide. Stepmother has

3:06

asked much of me lately. It

3:08

was difficult to leave without being

3:10

noticed. Are you still taking care

3:12

of your grandfather? And my brother

3:14

and whatever needs Stepmother has in

3:16

the moment. I... I'm barely allowed

3:18

to leave the house. Seeing you

3:20

is the only thing I look

3:22

forward to. Have you spoken to

3:24

your father about your engagement? No,

3:26

I... I have not. I have

3:28

not found the courage to ask.

3:30

Father is busy with work, but

3:32

he wants the engagement to proceed

3:34

as planned. Franz Stepine is a

3:36

good man. I just don't want

3:38

to marry him. Franz does not

3:40

want to marry you either. Nothing

3:42

to do with you, of course.

3:45

Perfect. Stop. I mean it,

3:47

Valentin. You are the kindest,

3:49

most open-hearted, beautiful woman in

3:51

all of Paris. And I

3:53

have made you hide in

3:55

a shrub to see me.

3:57

I would hide in a

3:59

hundred shrubs. for five minutes

4:01

with you. I wish I had

4:04

the answer to our prayers. Any

4:06

time, but I will think of

4:08

something. Time is what we do

4:10

not have. Who would deny two

4:13

lovers their eternal happiness?

4:15

When can I see

4:17

you again? He is here! Is

4:19

it Franz? It's not for me.

4:22

They're here for

4:24

stepmother. I believe he

4:26

is the Count of Monte

4:28

Cristo. Good

5:04

afternoon. There you are.

5:07

Oh, I apologize. Count. usually

5:12

loafing in the garden.

5:14

It is no trouble at

5:16

all, Madame de Vyfor.

5:18

Time spent outdoors provides

5:21

an imperative clarity

5:23

to one's mind and spirit.

5:26

Yes, well, formerly, may

5:28

I present my stepdaughter,

5:30

Valentin. You've already met

5:33

my son, Edwa, and

5:35

this is Monsieur Norte

5:37

de Villefort. As you

5:39

may have noticed from

5:42

his chair. Paralysis.

5:44

Precisely. Though he

5:46

is completely immobile, he

5:49

can communicate minimally. Much

5:51

to our joy. I

5:54

didn't do it. Of

5:56

course you didn't. Sweetheart.

5:59

I know he... did, but we

6:01

have so many more

6:03

teacups, it barely matters.

6:06

Refreshment? Thank you, but

6:08

no. I am here

6:10

to present you and

6:12

your husband with this.

6:15

Oh, how thoughtful! What

6:17

is it? An invitation.

6:19

As I have recently

6:21

finalised my newest property,

6:24

I thought I would

6:26

perhaps entertain. This is

6:28

your house on the

6:30

Charles Elizi. A second

6:33

property, across the river.

6:35

Oh, how quaint! I

6:37

love the country! Is

6:39

across the river not

6:42

still Paris, stepmother? Well

6:44

said, Mademoiselle, though not

6:46

in the heart of

6:48

Paris, I assure you

6:51

the property is excellently

6:53

equipped. I cannot wait

6:55

to see it. We

6:57

will, of course, attend.

7:00

I look forward to

7:02

your attendance. Will you

7:04

not stay, Count? Alas!

7:06

I must complete my

7:09

calls. It is an

7:11

intimate affair, and courtesy

7:13

requires I invite the

7:15

rest of the guests

7:18

myself. Thank you for

7:20

visiting. And we shall

7:22

see you soon. Indeed.

7:25

This tea is too cold. Provide

7:27

something warmer. We, Madame. And do

7:30

not growl at me, Nautier. Franz

7:32

de Pinnet is an excellent match

7:35

for Valentin. Whether you agree or

7:37

no. It's all right. I am

7:39

simply happy to be used to

7:42

my family. What is that? What

7:44

is he doing? He is blinking,

7:47

stepmother. It's one of the ways

7:49

he communicates. Is this a language

7:51

for this blinking? No. Though,

7:54

I believe he

7:56

and Byra have

7:59

a system of

8:01

some kind. Barois!

8:05

Oui, madame. Translate this. What

8:07

is it? What is it that he's

8:10

saying? He appears

8:12

to be frustrated.

8:14

Yes, I know that.

8:16

Thank you. Anything else?

8:19

Anything else about Valentine?

8:21

Her engagement? His will?

8:23

Something? No.

8:27

Very well. Remove him.

8:29

Yes, madame. Bring him to the garden or

8:31

something. You Valentine.

8:33

Go back to your plants!

8:35

Yes, stepmother. I'm

8:45

telling you, Lucian, it's going to be

8:47

dreadful. Well done.

8:49

I have been practicing. And

8:52

I doubt the engagement will be as bad as you

8:54

say. Maybe if I had a choice in the matter,

8:56

but I do not. Father has his

8:58

eye on Orgeny Denglaar. More like

9:00

his eyes on her purse strings. What

9:03

does your mother say? Nothing. I

9:05

know she doesn't like her, but she refuses

9:07

to say anything not neutral. How so? If

9:09

I were to ask again, Mama, what do

9:12

you think of Orgeny Denglaar? She would

9:14

say that her hair is brown, or

9:16

that she is the daughter of a

9:18

family friend. Or that she could easily

9:20

pass as a man. Lucian! What, Albert?

9:22

She'll hear me with her gigantic ears.

9:24

Messieurs, may I present... Once a crystal!

9:26

What an excellent surprise! Tell us, Count.

9:29

Are you any good at billiards? I

9:31

am in need of a better partner.

9:33

I'm not that bad. Debatable. Apologies, gentlemen.

9:35

I cannot stay for a full game. I

9:38

am here to deliver these. Though I

9:40

admit, Monsieur de Bray, I expected

9:42

to find you with the Denglaars instead

9:44

of here. I am not there

9:46

that often. A dinner party? I am

9:48

honored, Count. I have left an

9:50

invitation for your parents as well. Oh

9:52

no! This is for

9:54

Saturday! It is. We are travelling,

9:56

Count. Oh, I am devastated that

9:58

I cannot attend. I'm still available.

10:00

Good. You shall have to host again

10:03

so I can attend. Lucian, you must

10:05

tell me everything that happens and what

10:07

everything looks like. We will see plenty

10:09

of each other if I can't. You

10:12

need not worry of that. Tell me

10:14

who else is attending? Is it everyone

10:16

in Paris except for me? Not at

10:18

all. The property is smaller than my

10:21

primary residence. But no less grand, I

10:23

imagine? I would hope not. Albert. Do you

10:25

remember that time Maximilian Morell tried

10:27

to host us? Oh, it was

10:30

dreadful. We know that he doesn't

10:32

have any money, but he could

10:34

have put in some effort. His

10:37

sister made the food herself. The

10:39

rooms are so small. Apparently

10:41

any space for hosting. You

10:43

would think he would have

10:45

learned something from us by this

10:47

point. But no. Poor Morell. Literally

10:50

and figuratively. Perhaps. I shall invite

10:52

him as well. Yes, teach him

10:54

something, please. You know he once

10:57

asked me how to play the

10:59

financial markets? Awkward. It wouldn't have

11:01

been, had I been sure he could

11:03

understand it. You are familiar with the

11:06

stock exchanges, then. Oh yes, Lucien tells

11:08

me all of the good gossip that

11:10

he gets through work. Elbert. Though the

11:12

really good stuff gets to his lovers

11:15

first. I will stake you with this

11:17

Tuesday. I am joking! Joking! We are

11:19

all friends, are two between friends.

11:21

How about a drink? As friends!

11:23

Yes, let us drink to

11:25

your engagement. Please not. Albert's

11:28

father wishes him to marry...

11:30

Anjani d'Anglaire. And this

11:32

is not ideal? She looks like

11:34

a page boy. My mother does

11:36

not like her, but she is

11:38

quite wealthy. Astonishingly so. As long

11:40

as Madame d'Anglaire continues to trade

11:43

with her inside information. Huh! You

11:45

almost hit me! I gave you

11:47

fair warning, I would throw it

11:49

at you. Apologies count. You

11:51

are collateral damage. I have

11:54

been missed by a hair.

11:56

Excellent. Now then, drinks? Again,

11:58

I must decline. Right? Right.

12:00

More invitations to the party

12:02

I cannot attend. We will

12:04

probably still be here once

12:07

you have finished. Even then,

12:09

I will have matters to

12:11

attend to. You are no

12:13

fun count. No fun at

12:15

all. So long as you're

12:18

doing something interesting. Always, Monsieur

12:20

Debray. Always. We are going

12:22

to be late. You there.

12:24

We, Madame. Where is my

12:27

husband? I believe he's dressing.

12:29

Madame. You believe. Mom, I

12:31

want to go too. No,

12:34

my pet. You must stay

12:36

here with grandfather. It is

12:38

very important that you spend

12:40

time with him and that

12:43

he likes you. Do you

12:45

understand? I want to go

12:47

to the party. Stop wailing,

12:50

Edward. Is the carriage here?

12:52

for ages. It is no

12:54

benefit to arriving early. Adieu

12:56

Monsieur. You would be wise

12:59

to endear yourself to the

13:01

count. He would be wise

13:03

to endear himself. to me.

13:06

I'm not implying that we

13:08

grow full. Rather, we should

13:10

always maintain our central positions

13:12

within our social circles. I

13:15

do not have time for

13:17

that. Which is why I'm

13:19

in charge. Leave the flatter

13:22

and endearment to me. Just

13:24

be yourself for something. Everyone

13:26

who warms to us is

13:28

an asset and worse future.

13:31

And Valentines. Naturally. Your father

13:33

asked me to relay this

13:35

message. As is mine gone?

13:38

What is that? What does

13:40

it say? My father does

13:42

not approve of Valentin's engagement

13:44

to Franz de Pinet and

13:47

is threatening to write her

13:49

out of his will. Just

13:51

a Valentin? He will redistribute

13:54

his wealth to charity. What?

13:56

What about it? What? Everything

13:58

I have done for my

14:00

father yet. But he continues

14:03

to threaten my livelihood. Absolutely

14:05

preposterous. It is my generosity

14:07

that keeps him alive. A

14:09

complete barbarious. Do you need

14:11

something, bea- Would you like

14:13

me to relay a response?

14:15

No. You win bag of a man.

14:17

Well, voyage. An absolute swine. How

14:20

dare you? The man can't control

14:22

his own faculties, yet

14:24

attempts to control his

14:26

only son? I. and the

14:29

crown prosecutor to his

14:31

majesty. I direct his

14:33

will not bend to others.

14:35

This cannot stand. But

14:37

really, darling, we must

14:40

be going. Oh toy is not

14:42

a long ride, but it is

14:44

not short either. A toy? Yes.

14:46

Why are we going to a

14:48

toy? Because that is where the

14:50

count is hosting us. Is

14:52

this stage in a toy? We

14:56

can discuss your father

14:58

on the way. My father

15:00

is irrelevant here. I simply

15:02

Was not aware the count

15:05

was hosting us in a

15:07

toy Is there an issue? No, no,

15:09

of course not. No issue at all

15:11

We are ready to go to a

15:13

toy Astounding.

15:25

Thank you.

15:27

Monsieur Morell.

15:30

Good evening.

15:32

Bertuccio, was it?

15:35

Thank you. Or, uh,

15:37

thank the count

15:39

for having me. Come

15:42

in. Am I the

15:44

first one here?

15:47

Indeed. Oh, wow.

15:49

It's splendid. Thank

15:51

you. We are fortunate

15:53

all arrived in time.

15:56

Monsieur le Comte, mademoiselle. Yes,

15:58

of course. My apologies.

16:00

Thank you both for the

16:03

invitation. I did not choose

16:05

the guest list. Excuse me.

16:07

Have I offended her? No

16:10

more than any other, Parisian.

16:12

That is unfortunate. I should

16:14

hope we could become friends.

16:17

A friend of Alberdumorsef is

16:19

a friend of mine. I

16:21

will hope to be friends

16:24

in our own right, Monsieur

16:26

Lacom. Time will tell. Is

16:29

this the painting? The March on

16:32

Versailles? It is. I have heard

16:34

of this piece, but never seen

16:36

it in person. Does it offend

16:39

you? Because of His Majesty? No.

16:41

I admit I am not particularly

16:44

involved in politics. It is just

16:46

that October 5th is an important

16:48

day for me. My father was

16:51

on the brink of losing everything

16:53

when I was young. And on

16:56

October 5th. He was saved. It

16:58

was anonymous, so we never could

17:00

thank our benefactor, but I try

17:03

to do a kind deed every

17:05

October 5th to balance out the

17:07

scales, so to speak. It appears

17:10

your father raised you well. Both

17:12

of us. Julie, my sister and

17:15

I, our father passed away a

17:17

few years ago, but we do

17:19

our best to live up to

17:22

his name. You are most welcome

17:24

to visit, though I am sure

17:27

you are highly engaged. Julie

17:30

and I do not have much.

17:32

But we do have a happy

17:34

home, which matters, I think. I

17:37

would be honored to call upon

17:39

you both. It's just a temporary

17:42

dip in the market. This always

17:44

happens. We act on information, there's

17:46

a slight dip, and then the

17:49

price increases, and so do our

17:51

profits. I do not want to

17:54

talk about this here. And I

17:56

do not want to talk about

17:58

this with you. So good to

18:01

see you. Lucien, I did not

18:03

know you were coming. I

18:05

see you have arrived

18:08

with Madame d'Anglaire. Yes,

18:10

well, I was nearby,

18:12

so sharing a carriage

18:14

was easier. Monsieur Leko,

18:16

your taste is

18:19

as opulent as

18:21

expected. Merci, Belle

18:23

d'Anglaire, you appear at

18:25

home already. I... This house

18:27

does seem familiar.

18:29

We are here. Terrible

18:32

bants along the road.

18:34

Our carriage nearly lost

18:36

the wheel. But we

18:38

have arrived. And exactly

18:41

on time, it seems. Gierra,

18:43

what are you doing? Come

18:45

inside, you mark. Yes,

18:48

of course. Greetings, Monsieur

18:50

le Comte. Debray,

18:52

Baron d'Anglaire, and...

18:55

Maximilian Morrel. I'm

18:58

an avid fan

19:01

of your work. Uh,

19:03

quite. Madam d'Angla,

19:07

you seem pale. May

19:09

I escort you to

19:12

a chair? I... yes,

19:14

thank you. Explain

19:17

this. Explain

19:19

what? What is

19:21

the motive here?

19:23

Why am I in

19:26

this house? This

19:28

is the house. But he

19:31

couldn't, who couldn't pass

19:33

it? I have some clear.

19:35

We shall have to wait.

19:37

Are we to dine soon,

19:40

Count? There is a final

19:42

guest to arrive. A

19:44

newer introduction, but one

19:47

with much in common

19:49

with myself. At last,

19:51

the count of Monte

19:54

Cristo. Prince Andrea Cavalcanti.

19:56

Prince. Everyone. I present

19:58

to you on... Cavalcanti,

20:01

an Italian prince, I am taking

20:03

under my wing whilst we are

20:05

both in Paris. Ah, gratsi, gratsi.

20:08

I look forward to getting to

20:10

know you all. Prince Cavalcanti has

20:13

come to Paris in search of

20:15

a wife. Among other things. Paris

20:17

is full of opportunity for those

20:20

willing to seize it. See? Prince

20:22

Andrea Cavalcanti. I am Baron d'anler.

20:24

I would be honored to assist

20:27

you with your efforts. Dinner

20:31

is ready. Mr. Nicole,

20:33

this is absolutely delicious. It

20:35

is like Arabian Nights come

20:38

to life in France.

20:40

An excellent observation, Monsieur

20:42

Morrell. Having limited knowledge of

20:44

current Parisian trends, I

20:46

thought my recent travels

20:48

should serve as inspiration for

20:51

tonight. Never have I

20:53

had Sturgen so fresh.

20:55

It is lampri, Prince. Sturgen

20:57

are only caught in

20:59

Volga. They would never

21:01

survive the journey here. You

21:04

are both correct. It is

21:06

sturgeon, and it is

21:08

also fresh from the

21:10

Volga. But how? I purchased

21:13

a fish tank and

21:15

had Bertuccio ship it

21:17

to the Volga, so the

21:19

Sturgians could return within

21:21

it. I shall have

21:23

to get myself a Bertuccio.

21:26

Monsieur le Comte. Crown

21:28

prosecutor. Otoy is a

21:30

creative. choice for someone of

21:32

your station. There are more

21:35

fashionable parts of Paris.

21:37

Why here? Yes. Why,

21:39

this house? Initially, I sought

21:41

only a primary residence,

21:43

which I found and

21:45

settled into on the Chancilise.

21:48

However, a confidant informed

21:50

me of this property,

21:52

and upon viewing, I knew

21:54

I must acquire it

21:56

as well. You are

21:58

a man of discerning tastes.

22:01

Surely something specific must

22:03

have caught your attention.

22:05

What game is this? I

22:07

admit I was romanced

22:10

with the

22:13

story of the

22:15

house. Story? Indeed.

22:18

Perhaps it

22:20

is easiest if

22:22

I walk you

22:24

through it. Literally.

22:27

I host you all tonight

22:29

because the designs of Paris.

22:32

My of age daughter

22:34

has made the same

22:36

observation. You have a

22:38

daughter, Baron. I host

22:40

you all tonight because

22:43

the designs and decoration

22:45

of my property

22:47

are complete. But

22:49

there is one room I have

22:52

left, utterly untouched.

22:56

Follow me. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Thank

22:58

you, Ayadé. Of all places

23:00

in this house, this room

23:03

carries the most secrets. What

23:05

happened here is unimaginable.

23:07

I cannot bear to dwell

23:10

on it. I cannot bear to dwell

23:12

on it. I cannot bear to

23:14

dwell on it. I cannot bear

23:16

to dwell on it. I cannot bear

23:18

to dwell on it. I cannot bear.

23:21

I cannot bear to dwell on

23:23

it. I cannot bear. I cannot

23:25

bear to What happened

23:28

here? Prior to my purchase,

23:30

this house belonged to

23:32

a young man. Arising

23:35

noble who purchased this

23:38

house after a substantial

23:40

influx of wealth. Though

23:43

he initially intended it

23:45

as a respite from

23:48

Parisian society, it soon

23:50

became... something else. The

23:53

man met a woman.

23:55

Another noble already married.

23:58

Her second... and current

24:01

husband was inattentive,

24:03

and she hungered

24:05

for more than he offered.

24:08

The husband did not

24:10

notice when his wife

24:13

became a lover. Their

24:15

careful nature morphed into

24:18

carelessness, and soon they

24:20

discovered the consequences

24:22

of their actions.

24:24

The woman was with

24:26

child. Oh, shameful! The lovers

24:29

were not fools. They knew what

24:31

would befall them should they

24:33

be discovered. And so the

24:36

wife convinces her husband

24:38

that she is not well.

24:40

That she must spend time

24:43

away from Paris to find

24:45

herself. The husband, oblivious, agrees.

24:47

And the wife returns to

24:50

a tie in secret. She remains

24:52

for months. The

24:56

noble visits when

24:59

he can, but he

25:01

rarely stays. They are

25:03

no longer lovers,

25:05

they are plotters,

25:07

schemers, desperate to

25:09

return to the

25:11

comfort of their earlier

25:14

lives. They agree on

25:16

a singular goal. When

25:18

the baby comes, it

25:20

must be disposed.

25:23

You don't mean? Shh,

25:26

shh, shh, shh. Madam,

25:28

let us find out

25:30

together. The night the

25:33

wife gives birth,

25:35

its storms. The

25:37

birth is long,

25:39

difficult, draining. Yet

25:41

both wife and

25:43

child survive. And

25:45

both wife and

25:47

noble are devastated.

25:54

Neither wants to handle the

25:57

child. Neither wants the responsibility

25:59

of confronting the consequences

26:01

of their actions. They

26:04

agree the child must

26:06

go, but who does

26:08

it, and where, where,

26:11

and how? They cannot

26:13

agree. The noble consent.

26:16

He leaves the wife

26:18

alone in this very

26:20

room. In the bed,

26:23

you stand next to.

26:25

And despite the bassinet

26:27

on your other side,

26:30

it is never used.

26:32

The noble takes the

26:35

child out of the

26:37

room, and the wife

26:39

never sees it again.

26:56

The child, carried in

26:59

his father's arms, is

27:01

brought outside. Look out

27:03

the window. The noble

27:06

brings him there, to

27:08

the base of that

27:11

tree. And in the

27:13

rain, he grabs a

27:16

shovel and digs. Its

27:18

father cannot bear to

27:21

look, and other wife

27:23

knows is that the

27:26

child is gone, not

27:28

what its father is

27:31

about to do. The

27:33

noble picks up the

27:36

still wailing child, sees

27:38

it a final time,

27:41

yet sees only a

27:43

threat to him and

27:46

his lover. He does

27:48

not think twice as

27:51

he places the child.

27:54

At the bottom of

27:56

the pit. And

28:01

soon, much too soon,

28:04

the child starts crying.

28:06

And no sounds emerge

28:09

from the depths of

28:11

the earth. Hand me!

28:13

The time done Glor!

28:15

What a terrible

28:17

story! You say this

28:20

is true? It is.

28:23

It's a ghost story.

28:25

Ghost stories do not

28:28

have evidence, monsieur de

28:30

prey. How else

28:32

would you know where the

28:34

child lie if he did not

28:37

find the skeleton?

28:39

Is this true? It is. I

28:41

think I might faint as well.

28:43

Catch me, Gerard. Please, take

28:46

my arm, Madame. Allow

28:48

me to escort you

28:50

downstairs. Yes, we've all

28:52

had enough stories this

28:54

evening. Hey, dear. If

28:56

you would lead us to

28:58

coffee in the parlor. This

29:01

way. Baron,

29:05

Monsieur Debray, allow

29:08

me to assist

29:10

the Baroness.

29:12

Surely a coffee

29:14

will settle you

29:16

both? We shall

29:19

be down momentarily.

29:22

Normally

29:24

I would decline,

29:26

but... Perhaps a

29:29

brandy instead.

29:42

Thank you, Count, for your...

29:44

hospitality. I trust your wife shall

29:46

be attended to. Just a small fainting

29:49

spell. Unnecessary frights

29:51

have a tendency to do that.

29:53

More persons are drawn to the

29:55

macap than not, Monsieur de Brei.

29:57

Even though we all claim disdain of

29:59

it. Safe travels.

30:01

All of you. Madame de

30:04

Villefort, may I escort

30:06

you to your carriage? She

30:09

is perfectly fine. Despite

30:11

that dreadful story, any

30:13

chance you know who

30:16

the noble is? Or

30:18

worse, who the wife is? I

30:20

do not. Well, there's no

30:22

fun in that. Madame, if

30:25

I do find out. I

30:27

vow I will not keep

30:29

the information to myself. I

30:32

am so glad to have

30:34

you in my council count.

30:36

Will you call upon us

30:39

soon? Assuredly. Marvelous.

30:42

Good night to you

30:44

all. And to you,

30:46

Crown Prosecutor? Yes. Quiet.

30:49

Good night. Monsieur le

30:51

Camp. You know how to

30:53

throw a party. I look at

30:55

hosting as I do the rest

30:57

of my obligations. I set out

31:00

with a singular purpose and achieve

31:02

it. It is less impressive than

31:04

it sounds. I am not sure

31:07

I agree. With time, you will.

31:09

You will keep your word. Earlier

31:11

you mentioned calling. I

31:13

will. Excellent. Julie will be

31:16

so pleased. But... There is

31:18

no rush. You can absolutely

31:21

work around your schedule, obligations,

31:23

priorities, whichever. Good

31:25

night. Yes, good night. Thank

31:27

you. I shall. I will see you soon.

31:30

Monsieur le Comte! E Marvo

31:32

le S evening. Grazi.

31:34

Grazi per la Meravigliosa

31:36

a Colleansa. Latoa presentse

31:39

d'uenadoa, prentrambe.

31:41

Flolus Italiane.

31:43

Cheelente. I am grateful

31:46

that Lord Wilmore corresponded to and

31:48

to reduce us. As am I,

31:50

let us lunch this week, and

31:52

we shall plan for you to

31:54

build roots here. I look forward to

31:56

it. Bon anote Bela Signore.

32:00

Into the night

32:03

we go. He

32:05

is preposterous.

32:08

He is

32:11

necessary. Or all

32:13

of them. Really?

32:16

If everything

32:19

goes according

32:22

to plan, yes.

32:25

Every single

32:36

one.

32:47

Mm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-

32:57

Immediately. You throw your

32:59

old friend out of

33:01

a moving carriage? After

33:04

all the history we

33:06

have? Prince Cavalcante? Or

33:08

can an old friend

33:10

call you by your

33:12

actual name? What do you

33:14

want? I'm just here for

33:17

a chat. It's a long

33:19

ride back to Paris. Plenty

33:21

of time to tell me

33:23

what you've been up to.

33:26

And... How you're going to

33:28

cut cataroos in? What?

33:31

Where you seeing?

33:33

Not by anybody

33:35

that matters. That's

33:37

not good enough.

33:40

Not by anybody

33:42

that matters. That's

33:44

not good enough. We

33:47

must be more careful

33:50

than that enough.

33:52

Not good enough. I am

33:54

not the one who was

33:56

accused of infantisage. Keep your

33:58

voice down! You

34:00

are overreacting. I am

34:03

appropriately reacting. This is

34:05

not a moment to

34:07

stay calm. Somebody knows

34:09

our secret. Somebody knows

34:12

what we did. I

34:14

know that. And why

34:16

are you not panicking?

34:18

Because we already know

34:21

who knows our secret.

34:23

The more important question

34:25

is, who wants to

34:27

use it against us.

34:30
