S1 E2 Les Deux n'en Font Qu'une (Liberty and Equality)

本集简介

The Nights of the 12th and 13th July 1789

Historical Events: The King dismisses his Minister of Finance, Necker, and the people are outraged, fearing that the price of bread will rise even higher. Mobs march through the streets pillaging bakers' shops, and the King's guards attack Parisians out for a Sunday afternoon stroll in the Tuileries.

At the Palais-Royal, Camille Desmoulins calls the people to arms. They invade the Invalides, steal weapons stored there and storm the Bastille.

To save his beleaguered printing business from seizure, Restif goes to the money-lender, Monsieur Vilain, to borrow money. He uses the manuscript he is working on - 'The Ideas of an Honest Man for a General Reform of the Laws' - as surety. On his way to Vilain's he is surprised to see men forging weapons which they say are to arm the people.

Le Spectateur Nocturne (Night Owl)

The Night of the 11th July 1789

Restif makes the acquaintance of three young revolutionaries, Malibert, Saint-Florent and Dorival. He helps them when they are set upon by some ruffians in the pay of a group of young aristocrats.

Later, at a tavern - one of his favourite haunts - he recognises the same hoodlums when they try to rally the people to revolt and denounces them as conspirators. A chase ensues during which he meets up with Malibert, Saint-Florent and Dorival again. Together they rescue a pretty young servant girl, Josephine, from thugs posing as National Guards. She has been left alone in her master's house, so to protect her they decide to spend the night there.

The Night of the 13th July 1790

Historical Events: The Revolution has gained strength during the past year. The guardians of the Revolution have formed Federations throughout France, even in the smallest villages. Each Federation is sending delegates to the celebration to be held marking the first anniversary of the fall of the Bastille - La Fête de la Fédération.

The delegates from the Federations are arriving in Paris from all corners of France. The Owl is ill, but escapes the ministrations of his daughter Agnes to watch the preparations for the Fête de la Fédération.

Restif is desperately short of money and his daughter Marion goes to the bookseller Merigot for an advance on sales of his work.
