BRC Headcanon Full Names

I have another BRC ask to work on tonight, thus I figure I should post this now. So then, behold! A big ol’ list of full name headcanons!

Basically a continuation of this post I made a long while back. This covers pretty much all the major characters, at least the playable ones. Plus even specific crew members from the rival crews!

Some of these have specific meanings that I used for the particular character, others were just kind of more general vibes, like “Oh this sounds cool/cute/etc.” A few of these will have extra notes on why I picked particular given/family names, but otherwise just assume it was because I liked the sound of it! Went with mostly Dutch last names for most of these characters since, well, dialog in parts of the game imply New Amsterdam is still in the Netherlands, so that made it a bit easier when I couldn't think of anything else to try, y'know? :P

Also note, not everyone here has a middle name. Not everyone irl has one anyways! Also also, some of the Dutch last names may be in the format of “Van (something)” or “De (something”, so just wanted to point that out in case anyone might get confused and think Van/De is a middle name, lol

Starting with the main cast:

Tryce = Tristian Christoffel

Bel = Annabella Pieper

DJ Cyber = Cyrus Rafaël Nassau

Felix = Bernard Manfred Van Steen (I still maintain that Felix looks like his real name would be Bernard, lol)

Vinyl = Florence Zoë Hendriks (when she was a child, she would sometimes write it as “Hendrix” and try to convince people she was related to Jimi Hendrix; it worked more often than it probably should have)

Solace = Levi Smit

The five bonus BRC members:

Rave = Vanessa Yvonne Ziegler (A headcanon, note, her dad is a black German, and her mom is from the Dominican Republic! Since she has a bunch of lines in German, and at least two in Spanish (one in particular being specifically Dominican slang), so that’s how I’m handled this :P )

Mesh = Bassam Karimi (first name means “smiling” in Arabic, last name is derived from the given name Karim/Kareem, which in turn means something along the lines of "generous, noble" or “dignity”; my research into this yielded differing results, but this seems to be more or less the overall idea. Honestly think it both sounds nice and really suits him!)

Shine = Sol Bakker (“Sol” just means “sun” in Spanish and Portugese, basically the idea is she derived her street name from that!)

Rise = Josephine Katherina Thomas (She hates being called any sort of nickname for her first name. It’s either Rise or Josephine, that’s it)

Coil = Oscar Meijer (Fun fact, the English equivalent of Meijer is Meyer/Mayer. I genuinely did not intentionally make Coil’s real name to be a roundabout reference to the lunch meat, but now that I realize it, I’m definitely keeping it this way, loool)

Some others:

Rietveld = We know here full name is Irene Rietveld, but a bonus idea: the rest of BRC point out it’s a bit awkward for her to go by her real name as her street/writer name, so she eventually settles on Rivet as an alias! :D

Escher = Matthias Conrad Escher (Originally just Matthias, but then decided to make a reference to the actual M. C. Escher, “Yeah, my parents knew what they were doing.”; thanks to @slappels for the suggestion way back when!!)

My Devil Theory OCs! The season in parentheses is what in-game palette they correspond with.

Sai (spring) = Tomás Lucas Ortiz

Nunchaku (summer) = Roxanne Beverly Sullivan

Daishō (autumn) = Hiro Francisco Morikawa (first name using the character for “prosperous” (浩); last name using the characters for “forest” (森) and “river” (川). Not that he ever gets a chance to write them in Japanese characters anyways :P )

Bō (winter) = Gavril Jansen

Now for DOT EXE! A repeat from the full DOT EXE headcanons I made a while back, but still including it here for convenience.

Cueball = Ernesto Alberto Visser (Dutch father and Italian-American mother; “Her side of the family were like, the conservative Italian-American types. The kind that makes an annoyingly big deal about celebrating Columbus Day.”; his first and middle name come from two different great grandfathers on his mom’s side)

Eight Ball = Frederik Visser (older half-brother to Cueball, they share the same dad)

Cinco (five ball) = César Hugo Raúl Garcia-Flores (last name got hyphenated when he moved to New Amsterdam while getting his papers in order and stuff; not sure if I ever clarified it in the original post, but in most (probably all?) Spanish-speaking countries, people have two last names, one from their father and the other from their mother. When moving to a country that doesn’t allow for two last names, some people end up forced to pick one or the other. Cinco went with just hyphenating it to be able to effectively keep both.)

Neun (nine ball) = Sebastián Montero Sebastian Jäger

Twoson (two ball) = Beau Driessen

Fourside (four ball) = Robin Zaal

Jūrō (ten ball) = Maximilien Théodore Perrault

Quatorze (fourteen ball) = Marie-Madeleine Lucille Perrault

And heck, the rest of the New Amsterdam crews too while I’m at it. Same as with DT and DE, the season in parentheses is the corresponding in-game palette for the playable rival character.

The Franks:

Flesh Prince = Ruben Vos (last name meaning fox, and apparently was/is a nickname for a clever person… or a person with red hair, lol)

Bill (spring) = Caspar Westenberg

Charles (summer) = Thomas Vogels

Michael (autumn) = Abraham Joël Admiraal

Larry (winter) = Lennard Van Herten

(For their street names besides the Prince, they’re named after famous basketball players, specifically from this list; Charles, Michael, and Larry are probably obvious, with Bill there’s at least two different Bills on that list lol)

Eclipse: (Street names come from constellations, I tried to go with more (relatively?) obscure ones for the names)

Vela (spring) = Sara Al-Ghazzawi

Aquila (summer) = Melissa Agnes Fortuin

Lyra (autumn) = Hannah De Klerk

Cassiopeia (winter) = Xandra Gemma Daalmans (given name is actually Alexandra, but she goes mostly by Xandra for her business)

And finally the rest of FUTURISM: (see my recent short headcanon post about them!)

Nyx (spring) = Laura Kappel

Jazz (summer) = Vincent Linden

Veronica (autumn) = Paula Prinsen (Paula is the feminine form of Paul, which in turn has roots in the Latin word Paulus which can mean humble. This is an intentionally ironic name choice for this character, lmao. Also Prinsen means “son of the Prince”, so this one is more in line with her haughty attitude)

Quantum (winter) = Esther Katja Hoedemaker (She goes by Kat as a nickname)

This next one only applies to my fanfic AU of “What if we take the postgame at face value and Red somehow became a separate person from both Felix and Faux”, but anyways:

Red = Russell Miles Van Steen (Picked the first and middle names himself, note that Russell just means “red” lol. He took on Felix’s last name since they see each other as brothers after a certain point. And it’s not like Red could come up with a better last name anyways. His middle name when paired with Felix’s middle name is a Miles Edgeworth reference :P )

I figure it may be useful to give a list of the games featured and which characters belong to which game, since I haven’t yet started to implement specific tags for the games. So, below the cut is a list of dating sims and games with dating sim elements I have played, and the OCs created for different routes and choices within said games that will be mentioned in future on this blog. The more I do and play, this will get updated.

Dear god there’s a lot of them...I have a problem, you guys...

[laurent-bigot]

Accusé d’un meurtre qu’il n’a pas commis, Richard Hannay n’a d’autre solution que de débusquer lui-même les vrais coupables. Mais en chemin, il ne rencontre pas que des amis… En s’appuyant sur le roman de John Buchan, Hitchcock ne cherchait qu’un fil pour tisser son intrigue. L’entière réussite du film ne tient en effet qu’au réalisateur, qui prouve ici son sens du rythme inégalé, et peut-être inégalable. The 39 steps (Les Trente-neuf marches) est le prototype non seulement des chefs-d’œuvre d’Hitchcock, mais plus généralement de tous les grands films d’espionnage. Il suffit de voir aujourd’hui cette œuvre qui n’a pas pris une ride pour s’en convaincre.

THE 39 STEPS (Les 39 marches) – Alfred Hitchcock (1935) avec Robert Donat, Madeleine Carroll, Lucie Mannheim, Godfrey Tearle

En 1934, la réalisation et le succès de The man who knew too much (L’Homme qui en savait trop) permirent à Hitchcock de tirer deux enseignements relatifs à ses films d’espionnage. D’une part, ces œuvres recevaient un accueil très enthousiaste. D’autre part, le réalisateur y trouvait un terrain idéal pour l’épanouissement de son désir cinématographique le plus cher : saisir le public et, grâce au suspense, le tenir en haleine pendant toute la durée du film.

THE 39 STEPS (Les 39 marches) – Alfred Hitchcock (1935) avec Robert Donat, Madeleine Carroll, Lucie Mannheim, Godfrey Tearle

Dans ces conditions, pourquoi ne pas renouveler l’expérience ? Hitchcock décida dès la fin de 1934 de s’atteler à l’adaptation de The 39 steps, un roman de John Buchan. Il appréciait particulièrement cet auteur anglais, ainsi qu’il l’expliqua à Truffaut : « [Buchan] a écrit un grand livre qui n’a jamais été filmé et qui s’appelle Greenmantle en anglais et Le Manteau vert en français. C’est un roman probablement influencé par le personnage très curieux de Lawrence d’Arabie. Alexander Korda a dû acheter les droits de ce roman, mais il ne l’a jamais tourné. J’avais pensé tout d’abord à ce livre, mais j’ai préféré Les Trente-Neuf Marches, qui était un roman moins important, probablement pour ces raisons de respect dont nous avons parlé à propos de Dostoïevski. » Par cette référence à Dostoïevski. » Hitchcock rappelait qu’il avait toujours pensé préférable d’adapter un roman moyen plutôt qu’un chef-d’œuvre, pour lequel le réflexe du spectateur est souvent de se dire : j’ai préféré le livre…

THE 39 STEPS (Les 39 marches) – Alfred Hitchcock (1935) avec Robert Donat, Madeleine Carroll, Lucie Mannheim, Godfrey Tearle

Une équipe gagnante

On ne change pas une équipe qui gagne. Non seulement Hitchcock se lança à nouveau dans un film d’espionnage, mais il le fit avec l’auteur de l’idée originale de son film précédent. The man who knew too much : Chartes Bennett. Ce scénariste talentueux allait devenir le collaborateur le plus prolifique d’Hitchcock signant dans la foulée les scénarios des meilleurs films de sa période anglaise : Secret agent (Quatre de l’espionnage), Sabotage (Agent secret) et Youg and innocent (Jeune et innocent), avant d’être appelé à la rescousse sur le second film américain du réalisateur: Foreign Correspondent (Correspondant 17).

THE 39 STEPS (Les 39 marches) – Alfred Hitchcock (1935) avec Robert Donat, Madeleine Carroll, Lucie Mannheim, Godfrey Tearle

Comme les héros de The man who knew too much, Hitchcock et Bennett partirent se reposer en Suisse, à Saint-Moritz. En guise de repos, il s’agissait surtout de mettre au point le scénario le plus délirant qu’Hitchcock ait jamais tourné jusque-là. Le roman de Buchan fut rapidement dépassé par l’imagination des deux hommes. À l’époque, le monde entier se retrouvait en Suisse, pays des affaires restant neutre. Mais déjà, en ce début des années 1930, les tensions qui devaient déboucher sur la plus terrible guerre que la planète ait jamais connue perçaient à travers les bonnes manières de la haute société. De là vint l’idée de truffer The 39 steps d’allusions à la situation politique internationale. La crise mondiale, et plus particulièrement l’irrésistible ascension d’Hitler, servit d’arrière-plan à l’échappée belle du Canadien Richard Hannay.

THE 39 STEPS (Les 39 marches) – Alfred Hitchcock (1935) avec Robert Donat, Madeleine Carroll, Lucie Mannheim, Godfrey Tearle

Le travail fut mené rondement et les deux hommes purent bientôt rentrer à Londres. Là, ils confièrent le projet à Ian Hay, avec pour mission de parachever les dialogues. Une semaine plus tard, le scénario était sur le bureau de John Balcon. Le producteur de la Gaumont British ne se fit pas prier et donna son accord pour le lancement du tournage, dont la date fut fixée au 11 janvier 1935. Balcon fit lui-même le déplacement jusqu’aux Etats-Unis pour proposer à Madeleine Carroll le rôle de Pamela. De son côté, Hitchcock contacta Robert Donat, qui accepta avec plaisir de jouer Richard Hannay. En formant son équipe de tournage, Hitchcock effectua une rencontre capitale. Ayant besoin d’une secrétaire particulière, il sut dénicher, parmi les nombreuses prétendantes au poste, Joan Harrison. Ils ne se quittèrent plus par la suite, Harrison devenant une collaboratrice toujours plus proche et écoutée du réalisateur.

THE 39 STEPS (Les 39 marches) – Alfred Hitchcock (1935) avec Robert Donat, Madeleine Carroll, Lucie Mannheim, Godfrey Tearle

Hitchcock sur tous les fronts

Carroll et Donat ne se connaissaient pas, mais ils ne tardèrent pas à avoir l’occasion de s’accoutumer l’un à l’autre… Le premier jour du tournage fut consacré à la scène où les deux héros sèment leurs agresseurs, de nuit, dans la campagne écossaise. Hitchcock prit lui-même soin d’attacher ses deux acteurs avec les menottes et, prétextant avoir perdu la clé, les laissa ainsi une bonne partie de la journée, perdus dans le décor, entourés des moutons que l’équipe de tournage avait du mal à empêcher de brouter les fougères et autres feuillages astucieusement disposés sur le plateau. L’histoire ne dit pas si Madeleine Carroll sut glisser sa main hors des menottes pour fuir l’entreprenant Donat, ni si le couple apprécia d’être ainsi enchaîné !

THE 39 STEPS (Les 39 marches) – Alfred Hitchcock (1935) avec Robert Donat, Madeleine Carroll, Lucie Mannheim, Godfrey Tearle

Quoi qu’il en soit, le tournage avança rapidement. Hitchcock et Bennett trouvèrent même du temps pour réfléchir à leur prochain film, Secret agent (Quatre de l’espionnage), dans lequel Madeleine Carroll devait également jouer. Grand travailleur, Hitchcock ne laissait d’ailleurs rien au hasard. Ainsi, il s’intéressa de près à la musique, allant presque jusqu’à l’écrire lui-même – c’est du moins ainsi que le présenta Louis Levy, le compositeur de la musique des plus grands films de la période anglaise du réalisateur. Leur collaboration avait débuté par The man who knew too much, en 1934, avant de se poursuivre avec The 39 steps, Secret agent, Sabotage, Young and innocent (Jeune et Innocent) et The Lady vanishes (Une Femme disparaît, en 1937). Plus tard, les deux hommes se retrouvèrent pour travailler sur les films américains qu’Hitchcock tourna en Angleterre : Under Capricorn (Les Amants du Capricorne), en 1948, et Stage Fright (Le Grand Alibi, en 1949. Levy sut parfaitement répondre aux exigences du metteur en scène. Sans tomber dans la paraphrase, sa musique collait au rythme et à l’ambiance souhaitée par le réalisateur, à tel point qu’il affirmera : « Je suis toujours parti de mes réunions sur la musique avec un air clairement écrit dans ma tête, presque comme si Hitchcock lui-même l’avait écrit. »

THE 39 STEPS (Les 39 marches) – Alfred Hitchcock (1935) avec Robert Donat, Madeleine Carroll, Lucie Mannheim, Godfrey Tearle

Le prototype

Le 18 mars 1935, le tournage était terminé. Deux mois et demi plus tard, le 6 juin, il y avait foule au New Gallery Theatre de Londres pour la présentation de The 39 steps. Hitchcock était dans la salle, mais il se contenta de saluer le public sans faire le discours que tous attendaient. Un murmure de déception se fit entendre, mais le film parla à sa place. A la fin de la séance. Hitchcock savait qu’il avait gagné. L’accueil fut délirant. “Une extraordinaire maestria”, “Chaque geste, chaque détail, chaque parole semble avoir été calculé avec précision et tout s’imbrique à la perfection” pouvait-on lire, entre autres, dans la presse. De fait, si The 39 steps est le prototype des grands films d’espionnage d’Hitchcock, comme Saboteur (Cinquième Colonne) ou North by Northwest (La Mort aux trousses), il en a déjà aussi toutes les perfections. Le grand schéma hitchcockien du genre est en place et parfaitement exploité : afin de prouver son innocence, un faux coupable doit fuir à travers un pays dans un périple qui prend l’allure d’un voyage initiatique.

THE 39 STEPS (Les 39 marches) – Alfred Hitchcock (1935) avec Robert Donat, Madeleine Carroll, Lucie Mannheim, Godfrey Tearle

Dans cette course effrénée, personne n’est qui il semble être. Hannay lui-même endosse différents rôles : il est tout à tour laitier en fuyant chez lui, mécanicien en arrivant à la ferme, candidat à une élection locale durant le meeting politique et jeune marié devant les hôteliers. De même, Annabella Smith déclare à Hannay qu’elle n’est pas “le genre d’actrice” qu’il croit. De son côté, Jordan n’est pas professeur, et il est loin d’être “le brave et respectable citoyen anglais” qu’il prétend être. Même les fermiers ne correspondent pas à leurs apparences : elle rêve de grande ville et vit une romance fugitive en aidant Hannay ; lui dissimule son avarice derrière un fanatisme religieux de pacotille. Les hommes du Professeur n’échappent pas à la règle : ils dissimulent leur véritable identité en se faisant passer pour des policiers…

THE 39 STEPS (Les 39 marches) – Alfred Hitchcock (1935) avec Robert Donat, Madeleine Carroll, Lucie Mannheim, Godfrey Tearle

Toutes ces métamorphoses s’inscrivent dans la problématique centrale du secret ; l’organisation des Trente-Neuf Marches veut cacher ses activités et n’hésite pas à se débarrasser d’Annabella, avant de chercher à éliminer Hannay. De leur côté, Annabella et Hannay tentent d’éviter que le secret militaire soit divulgué. Quant à la fermière, elle dissimule à son mari son peu de goût pour la vie campagnarde. L’hôtelière, elle, cache le couple fugitif aux faux policiers.

THE 39 STEPS (Les 39 marches) – Alfred Hitchcock (1935) avec Robert Donat, Madeleine Carroll, Lucie Mannheim, Godfrey Tearle

Dans ce climat de tromperie et d’apparences, la confiance ne peut pas s’installer. Elle est pourtant centrale dans The 39 steps, comme dans nombre de films d’Hitchcock. Lorsque Hannay tente d’obtenir la confiance de Pamela, l’enjeu est aussi crucial que dans Shadow of a Doubt (L’Ombre d’un doute), où tout l’équilibre repose sur la confiance réciproque des deux Charlie, ou dans Notorious (Les Enchaînés) où la confiance amoureuse d’Alicia pour Delvin l’entraîne vers la mort… Dans tous ces films, seul l’amour permet d’instaurer la confiance, et la fin de l’amour entraîne sa perte irrémédiable .

THE 39 STEPS (Les 39 marches) – Alfred Hitchcock (1935) avec Robert Donat, Madeleine Carroll, Lucie Mannheim, Godfrey Tearle

Le swing d’Hitchcock

La véritable révolution de The 39 steps résidait dans l’efficacité du scénario et le sens du rythme. Hitchcock avait tout à fait conscience de cet aspect de son œuvre. Il l’avait très volontairement mis en place dès l’élaboration du scénario : « J’ai expérimenté une méthode qui consistait à écrire le film dans ses moindres détails, mais sans y intégrer une seule phrase de dialogue. Je voyais cela comme un film à épisodes et j’étais en pleine forme. Dès qu’un épisode était rédigé, je disais : “Ici nous avons besoin d’un très bon conte.” Je désirais que le contenu de chaque scène soit très solide et constitue un petit film. » Et encore : « Je me disais constamment : il faut remplir la tapisserie ici, il faut compléter la tapisserie là. » Cela pour arriver à une forme plus condensée et efficace : «Voilà ce qu’il y a d’épatant, la rapidité des transitions. Il faut travailler beaucoup pour y arriver, mais ça en vaut la peine. Il faut employer une idée après l’autre et cela en sacrifiant tout à la rapidité. » Comme l’a noté très justement François Truffaut, cette recherche rythmique induit un changement radical dans l’approche de la réalité du récit mis en image : « C’est à peu près à cette époque que vous avez commence a malmener vos scénarios. Je veux dire à ne plus tenir compte de la vraisemblance de l’intrigue ou, en tout cas, à sacrifier constamment la vraisemblance au profit de l’émotion pure. » Cette tendance, remarquait encore Truffaut, « marque un pas vers la stylisation américaine ». De fait, dès The 39 steps, le style prend le dessus sur un quelconque réalisme. « La vraisemblance ne m’intéresse pas, affirmera le réalisateur. C’est ce qu’il y a de plus facile à faire. Dans Birds (Les Oiseaux), il y a cette longue scène dans le bistrot où les gens parlent des oiseaux. Parmi ces gens, il y a une femme avec un béret sur la tête, qui est justement une spécialiste des oiseaux, un ornithologue. Elle se trouve là par pure coïncidence. Naturellement, j’aurais pu tourner trois scènes pour la faire arriver vraisemblablement, mais ces scènes n’auraient aucun intérêt. » Et d’ajouter : « La seule question que je me pose est de savoir si l’installation de la caméra à tel ou tel endroit donnera à la scène sa force maxima. La beauté des images, la beauté des mouvements, le rythme, les effets, tout doit être soumis et sacrifié à l’action. »

THE 39 STEPS (Les 39 marches) – Alfred Hitchcock (1935) avec Robert Donat, Madeleine Carroll, Lucie Mannheim, Godfrey Tearle

Le spectateur pourrait se poser mille questions sur la vraisemblance du scénario de The 39 steps. Pourquoi les hommes de Scotland Yard recherchent-ils Hannay pour le meurtre d’Annabella, alors que la jeune femme travaillait pour eux ? Ou encore, par quel hasard Hannay retrouve-t-il Pamela au meeting ? Mais toutes ces questions, il ne se les pose pas, parce qu’Hitchcock impose une vérité beaucoup plus forte que n’importe quelle logique. Une partie de la force de ses films vient de là.

L’histoire

Mr Memory – À Londres, Richard Hannay, un Canadien, se rend au music-hall. Il assiste au spectacle de Mr Memory, un homme doté d’une mémoire phénoménale lui permettant de répondre à toutes les questions du public. Le show est interrompu par des coups de feu. La foule sort précipitamment et Hannay se retrouve avec une femme qui demande à le suivre chez lui..

Miss Smith – Chez Hannay, la jeune femme, qui dit s’appeler Annabella Smith, prend mille précautions pour ne pas être vue. Elle prétend travailler comme agent pour l’Angleterre et posséder un secret qui lui vaut d’être menacée par une organisation d’espions : Les Trente-Neuf Marches. Hannay est incrédule ; il note toutefois que deux hommes surveillent effectivement son immeuble.

Espion malgré lui – La nuit, Hannay est réveillé par Annabella. Elle lui donne un plan de la région d’Écosse où elle devait aller avant de s’écrouler, un poignard dans le dos. Le téléphone sonne : les hommes postés dehors tentent de joindre Hannay. Empruntant son costume au livreur de lait, le Canadien parvient à quitter son domicile et à s’embarquer dans un train pour l’Écosse.

Dernière édition – Alors que le train file vers l’Écosse, Hannay apprend qu’il est recherché par la police pour le meurtre d’Annabella ; son portrait est dans le journal. Des policiers inspectent le train. Hannay feint alors d’être en compagnie d’une jeune femme. mais celle-ci le dénonce. Pris en chasse, il parvient à descendre du train et échappe à ses poursuivants.

L’hospitalité écossaise – Poursuivant à pied son périple, Hannay atteint une ferme isolée en Écosse. Il apprend qu’un dénommé “Professeur” habite là où il doit se rendre selon les indications d’Annabella. Le fermier accepte de l’héberger pour la nuit. Mais quand la police arrive à la ferme, sa femme convainc Hannay de ne pas faire confiance à son mari et le pousse à fuir.

Chasse à l’homme – Poursuivi à travers les montagnes écossaises, Hannay parvient à rallier la demeure du Professeur. Celui-ci, apprenant qu’Hannay vient de la part d’Annabella, le cache à la police. Hannay doit toutefois bientôt déchanter : le Professeur n’est autre que l’espion contre lequel Annabella avait mis en garde ! Le Professeur l’abat d’un coup de feu…

Le miraculé – On retrouve Hannay au commissariat. Une bible, dans la poche du manteau emprunté au fermier, l’a sauvé. Il dénonce le Professeur au commissaire, qui fait mine de le croire, avant d’ordonner son arrestation. Hannay doit fuir de nouveau. Il se réfugie dans un meeting politique où, pris pour un intervenant, il se livre à un généreux plaidoyer. Mais la femme du train est dans la salle et le dénonce à deux policiers.

Des policiers douteux – La jeune femme, Pamela, est embarquée en même temps qu’Hannay par les policiers, qui s’avèrent en fait être des hommes à la solde du Professeur. Bien que menotté à Pamela, Hannay profite d’un arrêt en rase campagne pour s’enfuir. Malgré les réticences de Pamela, qui le croit toujours de Pamela, qui le croit coupable, le couple parvient à semer les espions.

Enchaînés au danger – Après une longue marche nocturne, Hannay et Pamela trouvent refuge dans un petit hôtel. Toujours menottés, ils se présentent comme un jeune couple en panne de voiture. L’hôtelière se montre complaisante et leur propose une chambre… avec un lit double ! Après quelques disputes, l’un et l’autre finissent par s’endormir.

Les jeunes amoureux – Le Professeur quitte sa demeure avec le “secret”. Pendant ce temps, Pamela parvient à s’extraire des menottes et quitte la chambre, prête à livrer Hannay. Mais, du haut de l’escalier, elle surprend une discussion entre l’hôtelier et les faux policiers venus trouver refuge à l’hôtel : Hannay disait vrai, il est innocent. Pamela apprend que le Professeur doit aller au Palladium de Londres.

Direction Le Palladium ! – Lorsque Hannay se réveille, Pamela lui raconte la discussion à laquelle elle vient d’assister. Le couple file alors vers Londres, où Pamela se rend à Scotland Yard pour lancer l’alerte. Mais les hommes de l’agence annoncent qu’aucun document secret ne manque. Ils font suivre Pamela, qui va retrouver Hannay au Palladium. La police encercle le théâtre, décidée à ne laisser aucune chance de fuite à Hannay.

Le clou du spectacle – Au Palladium, Hannay repère le Professeur dans la salle et lorsque Mr Memory est annoncé sur scène, il comprend que les secrets d’état sont cachés dans sa mémoire. Au moment où la police s’apprête à l’arrêter, Hannay questionne Mr Memory sur les Trente-Neuf Marches. L’homme ; commence à répondre, avant d’être abattu par le Professeur. Il a juste le temps de livrer son secret à la police. Hannay est disculpé.

  Accusé d'un meurtre qu'il n'a pas commis, Richard Hannay n'a d'autre solution que de débusquer lui-même les vrais coupables. Mais en chemin, il ne rencontre pas que des amis… En s'appuyant sur le roman de John Buchan, Hitchcock ne cherchait qu'un fil pour tisser son intrigue. L'entière réussite du film ne tient en effet qu'au réalisateur, qui prouve ici son sens du rythme inégalé, et peut-être inégalable. The 39 steps (Les Trente-neuf marches) est le prototype non seulement des chefs-d'œuvre d'Hitchcock, mais plus généralement de tous les grands films d'espionnage. Il suffit de voir aujourd'hui cette œuvre qui n'a pas pris une ride pour s'en convaincre. Accusé d'un meurtre qu'il n'a pas commis, Richard Hannay n'a d'autre solution que de débusquer lui-même les vrais coupables.

A loving stranger

Eren's knee bounced as he tried to calm his nerves. Levi had asked the omega to accompany him to a business lunch and Eren was terrified he was going to some how embarrass the man. He chewed on his lip without thinking, and then quickly scolded himself. He needed to look nice, and having a peeling and bloody lip wasn't going to cut it. It'd been four days since his return back to Levi's, and his husband had been distracted since the afternoon of discharge from the hospital. Eren had the feeling that Levi had contacted Kenny, but his husband hadn't mentioned what was said. Surely whatever Kenny was holding over Levi couldn't be that bad... Levi might be the silent and brooding type, but the man would never hurt anyone... like really hurt them... finding himself stuck back on that same chain of thought, the omega let out a small sigh "What is it?" "Nothing... are you sure this is a good idea? I don't want to embarrass you..." Eren's fingers went to the hem of the "boyfriend tee" dress, Levi had teased him over loving the dress, and Eren couldn't deny he did. He'd nearly worn the green and black lace one, but given this business thing was supposed to be at some social club, he needed something familiar and comforting "You're not going to embarrass me. It's fine, you need to worry less" Eren let out a snort "What?" "This coming from the man with perpetual frown lines" "I don't frown all the time" "No, just 99% of the time... are you sure I look alright?" "Brat, you've asked me that pretty much every 10 minutes since we've started driving. Between repeating myself and the snow, I don't know which ones more frustrating" Levi may have been joking, but Eren bit down hard on his lip as he looked out the window. It was kind of ridiculous how much snow was out there. In a few weeks all of it would be gone, like it'd never been there to begin with and the thought made his chest ache. He missed his dad. Not wanting to leave the mood awkward, he sighed again and sat up straighter "How much further is it?" "About 15 minutes on a good day, so 30 in snow" Eren hummed and closed his eyes. The social club looked like a mini-palace. The snow clung to the roof and awnings like something from a children's movie, and icicles hung from the window ledges on the upper story. Levi parked off to the edge, away from where everyone else was parked. The alpha took a deep breath, before looking towards the anxious teen "Just remember, they're more scared of you, than you are of them" It was said so seriously that Eren couldn't help but laugh "Levi, their not snakes" "I know. Snakes would be easier... are you ready?" With a nod, Eren undid his belt and climbed from the warmth of Levi's car. He wished he'd put legging or jeans on under the dress, because at it was the breeze was freezing his balls off. He shivered as he walked around to the front of the car, and Levi took his hand. The alpha gave a firm squeeze "Let's get you inside, the last thing we need is you getting sick again" The reception area of the social club was nice. If there was an elegant way to hang tinsel, they'd nailed it and it drove home to him how close Christmas was, and hence, Levi's birthday. He had absolutely no clue what to get his husband, he doubted very much that his alpha would appreciate a dress, or a pair of heels. Photographs were out, as was anything novelty like or homewareish. The alpha wouldn't tell him, even if he asked, which he hadn't. He hadn't been game too. "Come on, the events through here" Eren nodded and practically plastered himself against Levi's arm. He was still frozen from the short walk, and while it was substantially warmer inside, it would take a while for his body to warm back up. His feet were already aching, and his shoes were wet from the snow. Heels probably hadn't been the best choice, but he was making an effort... and it's the thought that counts... right? Almost immediately some woman called out their names and it took Eren a moment to realise it was Petra. He swallowed nervously, ignoring the fact that all eyes were on them, and let Levi lead him over. The woman drew him into an unwanted one arm hug "Eren, you look wonderful. I was thinking of wearing something similar, but then I thought I better not, I might give someone a heart attack" Ignoring the subtle jab out loud, Eren couldn't help but recall the scene from Drop Dead Fred where Annabella wasn't wearing an underwear... the idea of Petra showing her cobwebs off if she bent over had him quietly giggling to himself and Petra's eyes narrowed "What's so funny?" "Oh, nothing... anyway, you look like you're doing well" "I am, I am! And how's school for you?" The woman's voice rose significantly when she hit school. Everyone in the room was miles older than him, and probably already knew he was still just a teenager "Good... haven't been in a while, but that happens" Petra looked to Levi and Levi shrugged "It's his choice" "Levi, you can't be so lenient on him. He'll think he can get away with everything" "You know, I was hoping you'd have matured in these last few months, but it seems that once again you've failed to meet my expectations. Eren is doing great, we are doing great. So stop acting like a snooty cow" Eren gaped at his husband. He hardly expected the alpha to snap at the woman, especially as they'd only just arrived. Levi tugged his hand and lead him away from the shocked strawberry blonde bitch "Don't let her get to you" The alpha drew him over to a vacant two seater "Do you want anything to drink?" "Just water... or juice if they have it" Levi gave a nod and Eren tried to sit somewhat gracefully. It was only a few seconds before some old guy had sat next to him. It was revolting the way the man was eyeing him up and down, and Eren pulled on the hem of his dress, trying to make it seem longer "I haven't seen you here before" Eren sighed internally. Unlike Levi, he didn't know these people and couldn't just say everything that came to mind "This is my first time here. My husband Levi's getting me a drink" "Oh husband is it! I beg your pardon ma'am, no need to be so uppity" The old man leant in a little closer and Eren shifted back, his heart was racing from just the few seconds of proximity and he felt sick "Surely you can spend a little time to talk to an old man" "If talking was all you had in mind, you wouldn't be staring at my legs" Eren promptly clamped his hand over his mouth, the old man looked shocked and angry, but recovered quickly enough. Leaning in close, he took a long sniff "You smell sweet, I bet you'd taste even sweeter" Unable to stand the man any longer, Eren rose and caught Levi's eye. He sort of pointed to the man and Levi eyes narrowed. Eren didn't know what he was supposed to do, and remained standing stock still until Levi came over with their drinks "Minister Nick, I see you've met my husband" The man named Nick seemed to need a moment to remember who Levi was, but once he did, vacated the sofa "Poor lamb like that, it's like leading him into a den of wolves" "Come now Nick, no one here would dream of hitting on an omega, especially a married one who's alpha is mere metres away" Nick nodded as he drained his glass "Shame about that" The man then proceeded to shakily make his way over to the bar and Levi let out a sigh "Are you alright?" "I'd have been better if I hadn't had the mispleasure of meeting him" "Yeah. I don't even know why the invited him. His wife was the photographer of the family. He's just a nut" Levi moved to sit where Nick had been and Eren sat where he'd been before "So what exactly are we doing here?" "Appearing to be social" "I gathered that much" Levi took a sip of his drink, Eren assumed whiskey from the colour "The city likes to invite its talent to meet each other. So there's athletes, writers, painters, us photographers and I don't know what here" Eren cast a nervous glance around "So... these people are famous?" "Or where. Or are related to someone who is. I really have no idea what they think half the time" "Wait. We aren't going to do the rounds? Or have to talk to people?" Levi gave him a look "Not right now. We still have to eat and god knows how that will go" "Oh goody" Levi elbowed him lightly and Eren nearly spilt his orange juice. He took a cautious sip "Jeezus, what's in this?" "Orange juice" "What else?" "Vodka..." Eren groaned "I thought you could use a dose of liquid courage" "A head's up would have been nice..." "Levi! Good to see you again!" Eren looked from his husband to the tall alpha standing in front of him. He swallowed hard as Levi stood and was pulled into a weird handshake hug "Hey Erwin, it's been a while" "It certainly has. I heard you got married" "I certainly did" Levi held his hand back and Eren took the hit and stood "Eren, this is Erwin Smith. Erwin, this is my husband Eren" Eren smiled, but all Erwin did was give him a nod "We have so much to catch up on. Eren, would you mind if I stole your husband for a while?" Yes! Fuck yes, he'd mind! He didn't want to be left alone in a room full of strangers while the only nice person there was taken away from him. Still, he shook his head, before leaning in and pressing a kiss to Levi's cheek "Not at all. I'll just be over here..." He waited for Levi to say something, but the alpha walked away with Erwin and Eren resisted pulling a face them. Pulling his phone out, he tapped a quick message to Armin. He'd told his friend he'd been sick, basically grovelling for his friend to talk to him again. Armin had laughed it all off like everything was alright, but Eren still felt worried over it all. He started chewing his lip again absentmindedly as he waited for a reply, but soon the coppery taste of blood snapped him back to reality and he realised what he'd done. Given Levi wasn't there, he drained his glass with a wince, before standing and leaving the glass on the coffee table closest to the sofa. He walked from the room in search of a bathroom. But he had no idea where he was going and was forced to head over to the receptionist. The woman gave him a huge fake smile and he asked where the bathroom was. She gave him less than stellar instructions, and he wandered around the building until he finally found a bathroom. He'd thought it would quick and easy to clean up his lip, but when the bathroom door creaked open, he darted into the nearest stall. It took roughly 30 seconds to realise he was trapped. Low moans, grunts and pants filled the small space and the teen couldn't quite believe two people would be going for it... not here and certainly not now. All he'd wanted to do was use the bathroom. Why was everyone against him. As the minutes passed Eren wrapped his arms around himself. His body was responding to the alpha pheromones in the air and he hated it. He felt vomit rise in his throat, while his underwear grew damp and his penis twitched in interest. It was mortifying. By the time the couple finished, he was flushed and painfully hard. Tears of disgust had filled his eyes and he barely managed to keep from crying until the couple finally left. Letting out a low sob, his hand slid down to his aching penis. He shouldn't be this aroused, but he was and his omega side was desperately crying out for Levi's knot. Stumbling back, he sank down on the toilet and tried to will his erection away. Only his body didn't seem to want to cooperate... pulling his dress up, he slipped his hand into his underwear. He felt disgusting and dirty, but jerked himself off while crying. It seemed to take forever before he finally came and immediately vomited into his mouth. He was totally disgraced and embarrassed. Crying harder as he cleaned himself up and hacked into the toilet. He just wanted to go home. Finally emerging from the bathroom stall, he eyed the stain down the cabinet in disgust. Sidestepping, he washed his hands in the neighbouring sink, before grabbing a handful of paper towel and trying to clean up his face. Thankfully his makeup was water proof, and wasn't too badly smudged. His face was still a little flushed though and his body felt weird, not at all relaxed post-orgasm. Not wanting to remain in the room any longer, he fled. He was crossing the foyer when he noticed chairs near the near Christmas tree in the corner. He cast a glance to the doors that would lead him back to Levi, but instead moved to sit by the tree. They didn't have a tree at Levi's. They wouldn't have had a tree at home either if he hadn't brought his own small one. He personally loved Christmas. Not the over commercialism, but the idea of family coming together. He wondered if he and Levi would ever have a family... he didn't want kids right this very second, but the idea of not being alone... drawing his legs up onto the sofa, he pulled his phone back out and found Armin had replied. He didn't tell his friend about what had just transpired, but instead how he was now hiding from everyone. It seemed he'd either been forgotten or just wasn't needed. It'd been at least half an hour since Erwin had gone off with Levi and he couldn't deny he was feeling rejected. It took another half an hour before Levi finally came for him, the man marching over to grab his hand and drag him back into the function room. Erwin gave him a grin as the tall blonde caught sure of them "Eren, where'd you get to" "He was sitting in the foyer" Erwin snorted, it occurred to Eren just then that both alpha's were slightly tipsy "I still can't believe you got married!" Erwin pushed a glass into Levi's hand and the alpha let go of Eren's hand to steady his hold "He's a good kid" "How much younger then you is he?" What! This man couldn't talk to him? Couldn't ask Eren himself his age? "He's sixteen" Erwin let out a low laugh "He's going to be a looker once he grows out of that baby fat" "He'd already a looker" Taking half a step back, Eren shuffled uncomfortably. This wasn't how he'd thought today would go and now it felt like Kenny and Grisha were with him rather than Levi and this "Erwin person" "Ladies and Gentlemen, lunch will be served shortly, can you please make your way through to the dining room" The voice belonged to the woman receptionist and Eren cursed the woman. He wanted to go home. Not to eat. Erwin and Levi walked ahead of him, and he jumped when someone patted his arse. That was it. He grabbed Levi's arm and yanked the man away from Erwin. He didn't care that Erwin was staring "Oi Brat! What the hell?" Levi's eyes widened as he seemed to finally notice Eren's tears "Give me the car keys" Levi drew his brow in confusion "Eren..." "Give me the keys, Levi!" "Hey, calm down" Erwin moved to stand behind Levi and Eren pointed at the alpha "You, stay out of it..." His finger moved to point at Levi "You, give me the keys" Levi fished them out his pocket, and Eren snatched them up "Go enjoy your lunch together. I'll be in the car" "Eren, you can't just..." "I can and I am, Erwin please take my seat. It seems my husband prefers you anyway" Storming out the building, Eren stomped through the snow cursing the world under his breath. He unlocked Levi's car and dove in, the first thing he did was lock the car again and pull his heels off. Dropping the seat back, he climbed through and rummaged around in the boot of the car, lucking out by finding a blanket. The car was fucking freezing, but he wasn't going back in there and he definitely wasn't letting Levi drive while drunk. The last thing he needed was someone else dying. Curling up in the back of the car, he pulled his phone out and called Armin. He knew he shouldn't. His friend would be worried. But he needed someone to vent to about Erwin and Levi. Eren was still on the phone when there was a light knock on the window of the car and he looked over to see Erwin and Levi. Both apparently in good spirits. He climbed into the driver's seat and opened the door "Eren! Move over, we're going home" Eren shook his head "You're not driving like this" "I'm fine" Erwin snorted "We are not fine" "Erwin, we didn't drink that much" Eren couldn't believe the words coming from his husbands mouth "Get in the fucking car. I'll fucking drive" "Eren..." "Get in the fucking car!" Since starting his final year of school, he'd signed up for driving lessons... not that anything had come from it, and he had his learners permit... not that Levi knew about that either Levi gave him a funny little salute and Eren glared until both men finally climbed into the car. Driving in the snow was an unwelcome experience. Levi and Erwin were still reminiscing and their voices were grating on his nerves. It was a ridiculously slow drive home, but once there he kept Levi's keys and stormed off to his room. Firmly locking the door and then stripping off his dress. He binned it without thinking. All he'd wanted was to keep from embarrassing Levi, but instead his alpha had been a total douche. He stripped off his underwear and pulled his pyjamas on, about to climb into bed when he remembered his hair was still filled with styling product and cursed Levi as he padded back across his room and yanked his door open. Both Levi and Erwin were standing in the hallway and Eren rolled his eyes "Haven't you got somewhere else to be?" "Why are you so upset?" Once again Eren found himself gaping over something his husband had said "Are you fucking serious?" Levi frowned "My father fucking died drink driving and you wanted to climb behind the wheel! What the fuck is wrong with you!" Eren shoved Levi hard, and Erwin looked genuinely concerned "Eren..." "No. You too. How could you think it was fine to drink drive. I get it, I get catching up and having a few drinks with your mate. But Levi is the only family I have in this fucking world and I don't care how selfish it is. I don't want anything happening to him!" With tears in his eyes, Eren dashed into the bathroom and slammed the door closed. Eren sobbed in the shower, completely falling apart. Was something wrong with him? Did everyone who came into his life secretly want to leave? He'd thought Levi was smarter than all of this... he scrubbed himself as he cried, before dragging himself out and drying, then redressing in his pyjamas. Today had sucked. Even photography class would have been better. * It was late when a small knock landed against his bedroom door and Eren pulled his blankets over his head. He didn't want to see Levi, but the door opened anyway "Eren?" Laying still, the bed dipped and the covers were pulled back, light from the hallway blinded him momentarily "Go away Levi" "Look, I want to say I'm sorry..." "Right. Thanks. Go away" Levi sighed and the alpha moved to lay next to him, Eren rolled away, but Levi promptly rolled him onto his back "Eren, I really am sorry" "How could you do that to me. You knew I wasn't comfortable. You knew I didn't want to be left alone... I had some sleezy guy hit on me, Petra had a go at me, my arse was grabbed and then you took off with Erwin... but the cherry on the top was my drunk husband not giving two fucks about me and wanting to drive home drunk!" Levi let out a shaky sigh "You said I cou..." "Of course I fucking said you could. I'm your husband not your keeper" Moving closer, the alpha rested his head on Eren's shoulder "Look. It was really fucking shitty of me and I like to believe I would have realised I was way too drunk to drive if I'd climbed behind the wheel. I know you're angry and scared, but I'm not going to leave you" "You don't know that... you made me feel like shit today... I don't even want to look at you" Eren sniffled and Levi's hand came to his face, tilting it so Eren was looking at the man instead of the ceiling "I'm sorry. What can I do to make you believe me?" Eren shook his head "It's too late" "How about we go away? Christmas is coming soon... we could go away" Eren snorted "Are you fucking serious. I tell you how much you hurt me and that equates to us going on holiday. Get out of my bed! Get out of my room! I can't believe I love you! I can't believe I was thinking about having kids with you! Leave me alone!" Levi frowned as he pulled back slightly "You want kids?" The alpha sounded so surprised and Eren groaned, pushing Levi away as he did "Go back to your own bed Levi" Levi finally did as he was told and Eren let out a long breath when his door closed.
