:28:01
People are always trying
to motivate themselves.
:28:04
Or they keep calendars,
but soon they lose interest or they die.
:28:09
There's a window.
:28:10
And all I'm left with is a rather
unsightly wall, I'm afraid.
:28:12
So I conceived of another way to help
our prisoners keep track of time.
:28:17
Every year, on the anniversary
of their imprisonment...
:28:20
we hurt them.
:28:22
Usually just
a simple beating, really.
:28:29
I like to do
something rather special.
:28:36
And if you're thinking just now,
"Why me, O God? "
:28:40
- The answer is...
- All right?
:28:42
God has nothing to do with it.
:28:45
In fact, God is never
in France this time of year.
:28:48
God has everything to do with it.
He's everywhere. He sees everything.
:28:55
All right.
:28:59
Let's make a bargain,
shall we?
:29:01
You ask God for help,
and I'll stop the moment he shows up.
:29:23
Monsieur Villefort,
have you not heard?
:29:25
- Napoleon has escaped from Elba!
- What?
:29:27
Landed 1 00 miles from here.
He marches on Paris!
:29:38
We are here to plead the case...
:29:40
- Of Edmond Dantes, Magistrate.
- Not now! Dantes?
:29:44
We have not met, monsieur.
:29:46
I am Fernand Mondego,
the son of Count Mondego.
:29:49
And I am here to swear
to Edmond Dantes's innocence.
