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."
1:36:00
I'd be denounced by my friends
as well as my enemies.

1:36:03
It's true.
In prison, you'd be a martyr...

1:36:06
...an object of sympathy
for the entire world.

1:36:09
But helpless to do anything.
In London, you are all-powerful.

1:36:14
You can still fight for Dreyfus,
write smashing articles, pamphlets...

1:36:19
...keep on pricking at
the conscience of the world.

1:36:22
Émile, there are times when it is
more courageous to be cowardly.

1:36:33
Alexandrine...
1:36:36
...pack me a few warm things.
1:36:40
It must be cold in London.

Here you are, governor. Thank you.
