your friend Ladoux tells you.

You deceived me.

You know how I feel.

That I cannot hide from you.

Please don't.

Ladoux's been setting a trap for me.

That's why he's been courting you.

Then why did you take

such a chance today?

Or is Mata Hari only a pawn

in a game of chess?

Help me to forget.

Come on.

- Here we are.

- You're mad!

- Come on.

- Where are we going?

To Java!

- Is it very far?

- Not very.

Hurry!

Mata Hari.

I was born in the south of Java,

near the ancient temples of Bourabadour.

My mother was a sacred dancer.

She died when I was born.

The priest gave me my name,

which means "Eye of the Dawn. "

They told me I was a predestined soul,

dedicated to Shiva,

god of the mysteries of love.

And your other name?

Lady MacLeod?

I was married once to a Dutch officer,

but it didn't last very long.

Let me stay with you.

I wouldn't want you to know some

of the miserable things I have to do.

- You're a soldier.

- What I do is not always soldier's work.

Then you'll just disappear.

I have to.

Temptress...

It depends how long my husband

can get away.

I'll be happy to pay you

a month in advance.

But what I'm looking for

must be very private and very quiet.

I'm sure you and your husband

will find this very satisfactory.

Bring me the latest report

from General Gravier.

At once, Colonel!

We've found her.

There she is again.

The same thing every evening

for the last five days.

She walks down to the end of town,

and then she walks back again.

This way, Monsieur.

Seor Noriega!

How good of you to come.

And this must be our Herr Gunther,

all the way from Basel.

Please.

Beautiful.

With your financing complete,

you can have as many as you want.

You are sure, given the situation,

you can meet our demands?

Of course.

Portugal may choose to remain neutral,

but she's no enemy of France.

Why should your armed forces

not be fully equipped?

As long as they pay full market price.

My dear Herr Gunther,

as a patriotic Frenchman,

I supply our poor troops

at rates set by our government.

But...

... it's business as usual...

... with anyone else.

You are disappointed?

Was it someone else

you were expecting?

You think that Karl loves you,

is that what you think?

We never talked about love.

Or you are a German agent.

What exactly happened in Berlin?

They asked me, but I refused.

Did he send you here

to throw me off his scent in Paris?

No.

The day after you most unexpectedly

disappeared after our charming luncheon,

we intercepted a message

sent from a secret German transmitter

hidden somewhere in Paris.

Unfortunately, we weren't able

to decode it until last night.

Unfortunately, because yesterday morning,
