Down with Zola!
1:34:14
This is no punishment,
just a precaution.

1:34:34
Gentlemen, the court!
1:34:43
Émile Zola...
1:34:45
...the jury has found you guilty.
1:34:47
You are hereby sentenced
to one year's imprisonment...

1:34:51
...and 3000 francs' fine.
1:35:06
Cannibals.
1:35:13
Once before,
the centuries reversed a judgment.

1:35:17
That too was a closed case.
1:35:30
- Émile, you must leave France immediately.
- Leave France?

1:35:35
Yes. Go into hiding. England,
any place where they can't get at you.

1:35:40
Run away like a common criminal?
1:35:43
Do you know what you're saying?
You're out of your mind.

1:35:47
My husband couldn't do such a thing.
It's entirely unworthy of his character.

1:35:53
- What will people say?
- What would you expect them to say?

1:35:57
"Zola condemned, Zola in cowardly flight."
