Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Dear Victor, the news of the tragedy has taken long to reach me, but I am heartened by reports that you will soon be free.
00:00:13I've often wondered if I wrote to you what your response would be.
00:00:18I hope you still think well of your Teresa and will reply as soon as you can.
00:00:23I've heard accounts of your life over the years.
00:00:39I want to keep on playing.
00:00:45Keep on playing?
00:00:48That's impossible. You have no money.
00:00:51I don't know how, but you are cheating.
00:00:56I want to keep on playing.
00:00:59All right.
00:01:03I'll give you a chance. What's at stake?
00:01:08I'll give you a promissory note for any amount.
00:01:11No, I don't take promissory notes, especially from a stranger.
00:01:17This is Marquis Frederick Holmes.
00:01:21Count Victor Moritz.
00:01:27Let's play for a head, Marquis.
00:01:30A head?
00:01:32Yes. More precisely, your head.
00:01:36What do you say?
00:01:38The rules are simple.
00:01:40We each pull one card from the deck.
00:01:43The higher one wins.
00:01:45If I win this card, you will win everything I have in this bag.
00:01:49If, however, I win, I'll shoot you.
00:01:55I'll do it, as a matter of fact, with pleasure.
00:02:07What's your decision, Marquis?
00:02:1115,000 against your head.
00:02:15I gather the sum is not too low,
00:02:19considering that the wig on your drunken skull is of an inferior quality.
00:02:26Sir, you are a son of a bitch.
00:02:33You drop first.
00:02:51You have lost.
00:03:05All right, I have another idea.
00:03:11You shoot yourself.
00:03:13No, no, please.
00:03:14Look, I got money, I give you everything.
00:03:16Please, don't.
00:03:19Get up, Holmes. People are watching you.
00:03:22Your Honor.
00:03:24Kill him. Kill him.
00:03:35It was a blank. I wanted to teach you a lesson.
00:03:40And one more thing.
00:03:42You were right, Marquis Holmes.
00:03:45Indeed, I was cheating.
00:03:56Please wait for me.
00:03:59Please take me with you, Count Moritz.
00:04:03But dear lady, we shall be honored.
00:04:19I'll get you, Moritz. I'll get you.
00:04:23I follow you to hell, Moritz.
00:04:48Holmes, watch out!
00:05:08Stop! Stop!
00:05:28What's going on here?
00:05:35What's going on here?
00:05:37This road is closed by order of the governor.
00:05:41This is now a place of cremation.
00:05:44We're burning the plague victims here.
00:05:47It's better for you to avoid this area.
00:05:52Get on there. Go on.
00:06:21I can't see.
00:06:31I can't see.
00:06:36I can't see.
00:07:05Vietka.
00:07:08They've arrived. Get up.
00:07:10Master Rudolph and Count Moritz are in the palace.
00:07:13Get up.
00:07:15Martin.
00:07:17What are you doing here?
00:07:23I'll show you something.
00:07:52I'll show you something.
00:08:21I'll show you something.
00:08:28Do you see him?
00:08:30The one dressed in black.
00:08:33That's our master.
00:08:36Count Victor Moritz.
00:08:41The one who won you in the card game.
00:08:43He's a great card player.
00:09:10Vietka.
00:09:14What happened?
00:09:33Today is your holy day.
00:09:35We're going riding.
00:09:38Riding?
00:09:39What holiday?
00:09:41You've gone mad.
00:09:43I'm not really fit.
00:09:45I'm dying of thirst.
00:09:47You there.
00:09:48Bring us more champagne.
00:09:50Can't you see he's dying of thirst?
00:10:49I'm dying of thirst.
00:11:18Take him to the bedroom.
00:11:34Follow me.
00:11:43Put him down on the bed.
00:11:58Victor.
00:12:05Can you hear me?
00:12:20Master Baron, sir.
00:12:27The Count, sir, we found him lying next to the old oak trees by the cemetery.
00:12:33Get a doctor.
00:12:34Go.
00:12:42We must wait.
00:12:43Wait and see.
00:12:45Have hope.
00:12:47He needs a lot of liquid and cold compresses on his head.
00:12:51Keep him out of the sun.
00:12:53When will he awaken?
00:12:54I don't know.
00:12:56Brain concussion.
00:13:00Can't tell with head injuries.
00:13:12Everything's in God's hands.
00:13:16Have hope.
00:13:30Wake up, Victor.
00:13:35The golden calf is waiting to be sacrificed.
00:13:40It's waiting for you at Lend-Off's.
00:13:49No.
00:13:50No.
00:13:51No.
00:13:52No.
00:13:53Wait.
00:13:54My lady.

00:17:24No.
00:17:25You're going to Lendorf's?
00:17:26Isn't this it?
00:17:27In a sense.
00:17:32Earl Lendorf is opening a club.
00:17:38Are you a player?
00:17:53Do you gamble?
00:18:03Yes.
00:18:06I need the money.
00:18:11Gambling, Master Theodore, is a very dangerous pastime.
00:18:30It should fit you like a second skin.
00:19:00Truth.
00:19:30Cornelia!
00:19:45We are waiting for you.
00:19:51Pink is your color indeed.
00:20:14Please eat carefully.
00:20:16Soup is very hot. Don't want to scorch your lips.
00:20:24Oh, the soup is wonderful. The spices are just right.
00:20:28Marcel is an excellent cook. I brought him from France.
00:20:32I'm an enthusiast of French culture.
00:20:36I studied art in Paris years ago.
00:20:41They have a superb science department at the Sorbonne here.
00:20:44It must be a beautiful, fascinating city. Why haven't we ever been to Paris, Theodore?
00:20:49Tell me, dear Baroness, is Paris really as beautiful as they say it is?
00:20:53Far more beautiful.
00:20:56So you're interested in science?
00:21:00Oh yes, Theo is an inventor.
00:21:02Cornelia!
00:21:04No, no, no, no, no. It's very interesting. Do tell me more about it.
00:21:08Nothing to tell. I have merely tried to deal with certain phenomena in the optical field.
00:21:14You are too humble, Theodore.
00:21:17Here comes our main course.
00:21:20Pheasant and walnut sauce.
00:21:23A work of art.
00:21:25Marcel's supreme masterpiece, not to mention his onion soup in French.
00:21:30Sauté.
00:21:34Beautiful bird.
00:21:36Undeniably beautiful in life.
00:21:43But now in death, it is perfection.
00:21:48Sometimes I think true beauty exists only in dissolution.
00:21:55So we should abandon our fear and rush towards...
00:22:01Breast to thigh.
00:22:04Breast, please.
00:22:08Thigh.
00:22:17That man in the bedroom at the end of the corridor, is he dying?
00:22:25I got lost earlier.
00:22:28A sick man is lying there.
00:22:34That's Victor, my friend.
00:22:37Count Victor Moritz.
00:22:40Fell off his horse.
00:22:43Riding accident.
00:23:05So beautiful here.
00:23:08So romantic.
00:23:11But also sad, somehow.
00:23:14We are in paradise.
00:23:17My paradise.
00:23:19It's called Arcadia.
00:23:22It's a paradise.
00:23:25It's a paradise.
00:23:28It's a paradise.
00:23:32It's called Arcadia.
00:23:34A temple was brought from Italy.
00:23:36And that hermitage up there, from around the Rhine.
00:23:40Do you like it here, Cornelia?
00:23:45Theo, you're a scientist.
00:23:47Is it true swans mate for life?
00:23:50Yes, swans as well as wolves.
00:23:53What an incredibly boring existence they must lead.
00:24:02My tiny kingdom.
00:24:05Three lands.
00:24:07Colpace, Trocaia and Toglia.
00:24:10Yeah, yeah.
00:24:12Where I go to find peace, after my wars.
00:24:16Three lands.
00:24:18Colpace, Trocaia and Toglia.
00:24:21Yeah, yeah.
00:24:23Where I go to find peace, after my wars.
00:24:47And what's in there? What's that?
00:24:50Passion fruit grows in there.
00:24:52May I go in?
00:24:54Please.
00:25:16Please.
00:25:47It had to be a costly undertaking.
00:25:49I imagine it swallowed up a fortune.
00:25:52A whim.
00:25:53A whim? Italy, the Rhine?
00:25:56An extravagant whim.
00:25:58Yeah, extremely difficult to maintain.
00:26:01Humidity, bad climate.
00:26:04Yet, in all this decay,
00:26:09I find beauty.
00:26:13I shall show you something.
00:26:16Unique.
00:26:18Come with me.
00:26:24This one I brought from Greece.
00:26:26It, as you may have guessed, is a phallic statue.
00:26:29Come closer.
00:26:33You there, be careful with that stone!
00:26:36It's delicate.
00:26:38An ancient symbol of fertility and strength.
00:26:41A cult much revered by the Greeks.
00:26:44Hello, here I am. I have grapes for you.
00:27:11THE PHALLIC STATUE
00:27:42Whom are you watching, Rudolf?
00:27:47Victor.
00:27:50You're up!
00:27:55You're up, sweet God in heaven!
00:28:03How do you feel?
00:28:05Much better.
00:28:07I have some ripe fruit to show you.
00:28:37THE PHALLIC STATUE
00:29:07THE PHALLIC STATUE
00:29:37THE PHALLIC STATUE
00:29:57Theodore, come join us.
00:29:59Let's all dance.
00:30:01There doesn't dance. There is a genius and geniuses don't dance.
00:30:06Didn't you know about it, Baron?
00:30:08No, I didn't.
00:30:10I'm not joking, really.
00:30:12No, no, I believe you.
00:30:15Theodore doesn't dance.
00:30:17That's not what I meant.
00:30:19Oh, Arite!
00:30:22He is a genius!
00:30:26Yes, he is.
00:30:28Theodore is a scholar, a great inventor.
00:30:31Well, what is this marvelous invention?
00:30:34I'm a great admirer of invention.
00:30:36You're making fun of me.
00:30:38No, no, not at all.
00:30:40I want to know more about your invention. What is it?
00:30:43Cornelia.
00:30:45You shouldn't make such a secret of it. Your work deserves recognition.
00:30:48Cornelia, I beg you.
00:30:50Theo wants to stop time.
00:30:52Cornelia!
00:30:54Easy, easy, easy, easy, easy, easy, easy.
00:30:58Easy.
00:31:00I'm just playing.
00:31:03It's only a game.
00:31:05You'd better cool off.
00:31:09I have an idea.
00:31:21Rudy.
00:31:25Cheating our guests.
00:31:28But Count Moritz,
00:31:30I have lost, and I play by the rules.
00:31:33But you haven't lost.
00:31:47Oh, Victor, you haven't lost your touch.
00:31:49You must test it in Lennox.
00:31:51You've taken this game far enough.
00:31:54Why don't you put these children to bed?
00:31:59Thank you.
00:32:04I promise you I will.
00:32:13Let go of me.
00:32:15What are you doing?
00:32:17I want to stay here.
00:32:19Calm down and get in.
00:32:21You're jealous. You're jealous of the Baron.
00:32:23Don't be pathetic, Cornelia.
00:32:25His looks, his charm, his money,
00:32:27the fact that he's an artist.
00:32:29You and your God-save-me invention.
00:32:31It's you who's pathetic and the poverty which surrounds us
00:32:33because of that stupid machine.
00:32:35Stop it, Cornelia, I beg you.
00:32:36No, I won't.
00:32:39You're jealous because he likes me.
00:32:41A man like him noticed the woman in me and wanted to take me to bed.
00:32:56What are you laughing at?
00:32:59Nothing. Not a thing.
00:33:01Except that he slept with me, too.
00:33:05Get in!
00:33:10What are you waiting for? Go!
00:33:25Arthur.
00:33:36Arthur.
00:33:48According to my initial calculations,
00:33:50in order for us to pay off our current debts,
00:33:53we need at least 80,000-85,000.
00:33:56And that does not include the help.
00:33:58The servants haven't been paid in four months now.
00:34:24Here you are at last!
00:34:27I've looked everywhere for you. I must have spent an hour.
00:34:31What are you doing here?
00:34:33I don't know. I just... I don't know, Rudy.
00:34:36But I do.
00:34:38We're going to Lendors to get the passos.
00:34:41Trick their asses around.
00:34:46Victor.
00:34:48Arthur's warned us that our financial situation
00:34:51is desperate.
00:34:53I'm not up to it. I'm exhausted.
00:34:56What is it now?
00:34:59I dreamt of Teresa.
00:35:03Teresa belongs to the past, Victor.
00:35:08The past.
00:35:12Please pull yourself together.
00:35:14Lendorf is opening its club.
00:35:16Big fish from all over Europe will be there.
00:35:18You understand? Big fish.
00:35:20Big games.
00:35:22High stakes.
00:35:26Happens once in a decade.
00:35:29This thing will finally be rich.
00:35:34Truly noble.
00:35:37We should hire a gardener.
00:35:40I'd like to put this place in order.
00:35:44Gardener! Teresa! Stop rambling!
00:35:47Money is what we need, Victor. We need money.
00:35:50Would you... Would you please listen to me?
00:35:53We have debts. We have lots of debts.
00:36:00I feel old, Rudy.
00:36:04Oh, this?
00:36:06You talk nonsense.
00:36:08You wander around cemeteries.
00:36:13Perhaps indeed you are getting old.
00:36:18Get drunk!
00:36:20Or take beer!
00:36:22Or whatever.
00:36:24All right, but this is the last time.
00:36:28I don't know.
00:36:47Oh, no!
00:37:17Forgive me!
00:37:38Please forgive me!
00:37:47Please forgive me!
00:38:03Can you feel the excitement in the air?
00:38:05It's saturated with wealth.
00:38:07The smell of women and sin.
00:38:11What a magnificent place.
00:38:18Thank you.
00:38:37Seventeen red.
00:38:40What is it?
00:38:45I have no money, but I'd like to stake my house.
00:38:48That's all I have. Here are the papers.
00:38:54I think, young man, you are in over your head.
00:38:57Go home.
00:38:58I'm not your man, sir.
00:39:00You have no authority to order me around.
00:39:03All right.
00:39:06Sign this.
00:39:10I'll issue a hundred thousand against your bet.
00:39:21This game is not the best form of investment.
00:39:24Please reconsider.
00:39:26Please excuse my saying so, but the matter is none of your business.
00:39:31Let us begin, then.
00:39:51Congratulations.
00:39:53Let us play on.
00:39:56I beg your pardon?
00:39:58I beg your pardon?
00:40:00I said let us play.
00:40:02But you have won.
00:40:04And so I say play.
00:40:25I'm not finished yet.
00:40:29Now, now, young man.
00:40:31Three hundred thousand is a lot of money.
00:40:34Quite a fortune, I'd say.
00:40:36We are playing on.
00:40:38I refuse to play you.
00:40:40Victor!
00:40:45Play the game.
00:40:58Play the game.
00:41:29Please.
00:41:48Attorney!
00:41:54Not everything is lost.
00:41:56Yet.
00:42:00I'm certain it will give you another chance.
00:42:03Won't you, Victor?
00:42:07I don't have anything left now.
00:42:09Oh, that's not true.
00:42:11One can always bet on something.
00:42:14What do you have in mind?
00:42:18Would you accept a bet?
00:42:21For your head.
00:42:23For instance.
00:42:27I don't understand.
00:42:29Oh, it's quite simple.
00:42:31This bet requires courage and nerves of steel.
00:42:34And I know you don't lack for courage.
00:42:36Besides, you like to gamble, don't you?
00:42:38Let me explain to you what it's all about.
00:42:40We each draw only one card.
00:42:41The higher card wins.
00:42:42That's all.
00:42:43That's all?
00:42:45And if your card wins,
00:42:48And if your card wins,
00:42:50this entire fortune is yours, Mr. Grant.
00:42:53Just think.
00:42:55There's nearly two million there.
00:42:57And if I lose?
00:42:59Then what?
00:43:00Then the Count
00:43:02will shoot you
00:43:04with his pistol
00:43:06in the head.
00:43:07You must be joking.
00:43:11No.
00:43:12This is a joke.
00:43:15If you'll excuse me, gentlemen,
00:43:17I'm not in the mood.
00:43:19Am I joking, Victor?
00:43:22No, you're not.
00:43:28All right.
00:43:30I accept your bet.
00:43:44Let's get out of here.
00:44:10What do you want?
00:44:13What?
00:44:17Oh, my God.
00:44:23Let it be.
00:44:25This is senseless.
00:44:27Finish the game!
00:44:29Get out of here, young man.
00:44:30How?
00:44:31I'm invalidating this bet.
00:44:33You have no right.
00:44:34Finish the game!
00:44:36This show is over.
00:44:37Don't you understand?
00:44:40Please, the conditions of the bet must be kept.
00:44:42You are humiliating me.
00:44:44This is a matter of honor now.
00:44:47This is a farce, my boy.
00:44:50The pistol is not loaded.
00:44:53Come on, shoot!
00:45:01Finish
00:45:03for me.
00:45:10Oh, my God.
00:45:21Rudy.
00:45:25Why?
00:45:39Why?
00:46:09Why?
00:46:39Why?
00:46:41Why?
00:47:08Your Lordship, sir.
00:47:10It's good to see you.
00:47:12Please take me home, Martin.
00:47:40Arthur.
00:48:04Sir Arthur died Wednesday.
00:48:07Arthur?
00:48:10What happened?
00:48:12He choked on a fishbone at dinner.
00:48:18They said he suffered.
00:48:21It's sad, isn't it, sir?
00:48:30Let's stop at the stables, Martin.
00:48:35As you wish, sir.
00:48:40Martin.
00:49:11And that girl of yours?
00:49:14What was her name?
00:49:16Vietka.
00:49:17Vietka. Where is she?
00:49:19She left with the cook.
00:49:25Your Lordship, he remembers Marcel.
00:49:30And yourself?
00:49:36Master Rudolph.
00:49:38Master Rudolph
00:49:41stole the furniture
00:49:43and took your horse poison.
00:49:47I don't know how everybody left.
00:49:52Things...
00:49:55Things changed over the years.
00:50:00But you stayed.
00:50:05Where would I have gone, Your Lordship?
00:50:08I don't know.
00:50:26Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
00:50:30Amen.
00:50:38My deepest sympathy.
00:50:40Count Moritz.
00:50:42So, you're back.
00:50:46Come to my carriage, where we may talk.
00:51:08Come.
00:51:18You want to know about the baron, Rudy?
00:51:20Arthur was never able to find his whereabouts.
00:51:23However, before he left, the baron gave papers to Arthur
00:51:26to give to you upon your return.
00:51:29You may pick them up at my home,
00:51:31at your convenience.
00:51:33They include the deed to that unfortunate Grantholme's villa.
00:51:37Please call on me, and I will give them to you
00:51:39along with your estate management books.
00:51:42Good afternoon, dear Count.
00:51:44Come on.
00:52:06Brrr, brrr, brrr.
00:52:15We're here, sir.
00:52:36Come on.
00:52:57Are you gentlemen looking for someone?
00:53:00Who are you gentlemen?
00:53:03My name is Moritz.
00:53:06And according to these papers,
00:53:10this estate belongs to me.
00:53:14Count Victor Moritz.
00:53:17Finally, I have been waiting for you.
00:53:21It wasn't even loaded.
00:53:25My name is Dorian, D. Dorian.
00:53:29I am a scientist.
00:53:31I mean, I used to be Mr. Grantholme's assistant.
00:53:34Welcome, welcome, dear Count.
00:53:38Do sit down, feel at home.
00:53:41Maybe you'd like some tea.
00:53:43I have some freshly brewed poppy tea of my own invention,
00:53:46and it's a wonderful refreshment to take after a long journey.
00:53:49You gentlemen have come from afar, am I right?
00:53:53Mr...
00:53:54Dorian.
00:53:55Or Didi, if you wish.
00:53:57Mr. Grantholme used to call me that.
00:53:59Mr. Dorian,
00:54:02are you aware that it is I who had shot Theodore Grantholme?
00:54:11I was expecting it.
00:54:12I knew it would happen eventually,
00:54:14so I'm glad that you did it and not some vagabond.
00:54:18Very original thinking, indeed.
00:54:24You see, my dear Count,
00:54:26Theodore Grantholme was a complex boy.
00:54:28How can I explain?
00:54:29He was not a happy chap,
00:54:31and yet he was an extraordinarily talented person.
00:54:47I think I broke a tooth.
00:54:51The vapors of mercury ruined my teeth.
00:54:55The invention we worked on together had no equal,
00:54:58but he did not appreciate his genius and the greatness of that invention.
00:55:03He was wasting his talent.
00:55:05He drank a lot.
00:55:08And that girl he was with,
00:55:11do you remember her?
00:55:13Do I remember Cornelia?
00:55:18Do I remember her?
00:55:21She was nature's jewel.
00:55:24Cornelia was his twin sister.
00:55:26He was very attached to her.
00:55:28She was everything to him.
00:55:30Mother, sister, perhaps even...
00:55:34After his death, she disappeared.
00:55:36Vanished.
00:55:37No sign of her anywhere.
00:55:39I haven't seen her since.
00:55:48So,
00:55:50some tea?
00:55:53I'll see to the horses and bags.
00:55:57Grantholme gave the impression of a desperate man.
00:56:01It seemed like he needed money desperately.
00:56:04That's right. Our work demanded great sums of money.
00:56:08The raw materials needed for the invention are expensive.
00:56:11Silver, mercury, chemicals,
00:56:13and we constantly needed more supplies.
00:56:15The money Theodore was receiving from his inheritance had run out.
00:56:19I understand, but...
00:56:20Yes.
00:56:21You see,
00:56:23Theo and Cornelia were raised by monks.
00:56:25Right after they were born, they were taken to a monastery.
00:56:28Father Superior brought them up
00:56:30and gave them his name.
00:56:32Grantholme.
00:56:33After he died,
00:56:35this noble woman appeared and began funding our invention.
00:56:39She used to come here occasionally, a beautiful woman.
00:56:42She said she was interested in the invention,
00:56:45but I'm an old man, Cal.
00:56:47She was more interested in them.
00:56:49Why?
00:56:51There was never enough money,
00:56:54so
00:56:56Theodore decided to try gambling.
00:56:59Once in a while, he'd even win.
00:57:03Thanks to these onions,
00:57:08those potatoes and my poppy tea,
00:57:10I have managed to live through five years here.
00:57:13And what about this invention?
00:57:16Dear Count,
00:57:17we have invented a machine with which you can stop time.
00:57:24Or rather, you can fix permanently
00:57:28part of it.
00:57:30Conserve it.
00:57:33Stop life's volatility and make permanent its lack.
00:57:37What do you say to that?
00:57:40I'm afraid I can't imagine what you're talking about.
00:57:44Come with me.
00:57:45I'll show you something.
00:57:51This was our kingdom
00:57:54and this machine was our baby.
00:57:57What is this?
00:58:02Using this machine,
00:58:04you can fix
00:58:07a given moment
00:58:10of time.
00:58:14I
00:58:20still don't understand.
00:58:29On these shelves, my dear Count,
00:58:33the past is being stored.
00:58:36The time that has already passed.
00:58:39All of a bygone existence.
00:58:43Let me show you something.
00:59:13What?
00:59:21What happened?
00:59:22What sort of trick is this?
00:59:24There you go.
00:59:26Therein lies the problem.
00:59:28This plate has now wasted away for good.
00:59:33And that's where our work has stopped.
00:59:36We were never able to successfully solve the problem of fixing the picture.
00:59:41It needs to be researched further.
00:59:47She was his favorite model.
00:59:51We have hundreds of her pictures here.
00:59:53It would be a shame to lose those.
00:59:56Fantastic.
00:59:58Unbelievable.
01:00:00Beautiful body.
01:00:05I need funds.
01:00:08Who knows?
01:00:09With the help of God and your money.
01:00:15What's happening to me?
01:00:18I feel dizzy.
01:00:29Victor,
01:00:31the girl I was is gone.
01:00:35But I've never forgotten you.
01:00:39I think that you now need my help.
01:00:42And I need yours.
01:00:45I am alone now and my fondest hope
01:00:49is to see you soon.
01:00:52Teresa.
01:01:10Come on, shoot!
01:01:19Sir?
01:01:24There's a man here to see you.
01:01:27Who is he?
01:01:30I don't know.
01:01:33He sounds German.
01:01:36He sounds German.
01:01:40Tell him to come back tomorrow.
01:01:44It's about Master Rudolph, sir.
01:01:53Show him in.
01:02:05Thank you.
01:02:12Count Victor Moritz.
01:02:19In person.
01:02:22With whom do I have the pleasure?
01:02:24Knopf.
01:02:26My name won't tell you anything.
01:02:28My name is Knopf
01:02:29and I've come on behalf of a man
01:02:31who would like to remain anonymous.
01:02:35Anonymous.
01:02:37Do you mind if I warm up a bit by the fire?
01:02:43I am frozen to the bone.
01:02:47Dreadful weather we have had today.
01:02:51Would I be spoiling my welcome
01:02:53if I asked for a drink?
01:02:56No, serve yourself, please.
01:03:01Just drink from the carafe.
01:03:05Get down to business, Knopf.
01:03:07Well,
01:03:09you see, Count Moritz,
01:03:11the man
01:03:14who sent me here
01:03:17knows a lot about some Baron de Sevres
01:03:21and he suspects
01:03:23that this matter might interest you.
01:03:26Maybe.
01:03:27Yes.
01:03:29Continue.
01:03:32That's all.
01:03:33That's all.
01:03:35If you want to find out anything else,
01:03:38please come to a meeting.
01:03:40Come tomorrow.
01:03:45The Devil's Castle.
01:03:47Do you know the place?
01:03:48Yes.
01:03:50He'll be waiting for you there.
01:03:54I don't know Baron de Sevres,
01:03:57but it appears to me that my...
01:04:04employer, for some reason,
01:04:07does not like that man.
01:04:10So...
01:04:15One more thing.
01:04:18Do come alone.
01:04:20My employer likes discretion.
01:04:24Well,
01:04:25so
01:04:27my fondest regards,
01:04:29Your Lordship.
01:04:34Yes, you can take it with you.
01:04:41Good night, Knopf.
01:05:03Good night.
01:05:18Sir.
01:05:22We can't get through from here.
01:05:23We're going to have to walk from here, sir.
01:05:29Fine.
01:05:31Wait here, Martin.
01:05:33Yes, sir.
01:05:59Welcome,
01:06:00Count Morris.
01:06:03I've drunk it all.
01:06:05And I must say,
01:06:06your grab has come in handy.
01:06:10Nights are cold
01:06:11this time of year.
01:06:13And by God,
01:06:15that liquor of yours
01:06:18was first class, too.
01:06:20Welcome.
01:06:24Where is the man I am to meet?
01:06:26Wait.
01:06:33Patience.
01:06:35Patience, Count Morris.
01:06:38He'll be here any moment now.
01:06:45How did you get here?
01:06:48The road from the north is impossible to pass.
01:06:52I came here on foot.
01:06:57It's a spooky place, isn't it?
01:07:01Quite peculiar.
01:07:07Did you know this palace has never been lived in?
01:07:11Did you know that?
01:07:13No?
01:07:15Well,
01:07:16shortly after it was buried,
01:07:18it burned down.
01:07:20Neighborhood people said that the devil burned it down
01:07:24and it stuck.
01:07:26Devil's Castle.
01:07:30It was to be the most spectacular residence
01:07:33in this part of the country.
01:07:36It's full of wild cats now,
01:07:39scabby pigeons,
01:07:42rats,
01:07:43all kinds of foul things.
01:07:47Only sometimes
01:07:50somebody comes here
01:07:52to hang himself
01:07:54or to rape
01:07:56or to make love.
01:08:03This well
01:08:04is full of human bones.
01:08:13Peasant girls come here to give birth to their bastards
01:08:16and leave them for the rats
01:08:19and wild cats to devour.
01:08:22Indeed, a very peculiar place.
01:08:25Knob!
01:08:30Am I boring you?
01:08:34You don't like my story?
01:08:41That employer of yours, where is he?
01:08:46Over there.
01:08:52Good work, Mr. Knob!
01:08:56Thank you, Marquis.
01:08:58Six years I have been waiting for this.
01:09:05Hey, remember me, huh?
01:09:11I was worried about you, Moritz.
01:09:14I thought you were dead.
01:09:16I thought you were dead.
01:09:18I thought you were dead.
01:09:20I was worried about you, Moritz.
01:09:22All these years I was praying for you,
01:09:25begging the Lord so he would not let you
01:09:28be chewed up by rats in the prison.
01:09:30And the Lord heard my prayer.
01:09:35Mr. Knob did his job well,
01:09:38as I knew he would.
01:09:41What do you want?
01:09:43What do you want? I don't know you.
01:09:46Surely you, and you know me only too well.
01:09:50But that does not matter anymore.
01:09:54Because this is our last meeting,
01:09:57Count Moritz.
01:09:59Dammit, who are you?
01:10:01My name is Holmes, remember?
01:10:07Marquis Frederick Holmes.
01:10:11Now, come on, take a good look at me.
01:10:14Look at me well.
01:10:16For now, I'm going to hear you beg for your life.
01:10:22Now come on, beg you son of a bitch.
01:10:45Give me the gun, Knob.
01:10:47I want to finish him.
01:10:50The gun, Knob.
01:10:52He's finished, Marquis.
01:10:54You won't need the gun, Holmes.
01:10:57There is some other business we must finish first.
01:11:00What business?
01:11:03I owe you an explanation.
01:11:05You think I work for you.
01:11:08But I don't.
01:11:10I work for a man named Lund.
01:11:14Known to you by the name of Baron Rudolf the Serf.
01:11:17The Serf?
01:11:18Yes, it was he who conceived this whole masquerade.
01:11:24You only served as a tool.
01:11:29Nice job, Mr. Holmes.
01:11:34Son of a bitch.
01:11:36I hope you can understand.
01:11:39You've become a danger to the Baron.
01:11:42And I must kill you.
01:11:46Are you afraid, Marquis?
01:11:48You're not going to do it, huh?
01:11:50Why not?
01:11:53Look, I...
01:11:54Would you want money? I got plenty of it.
01:11:56Look, here.
01:11:57I'm very sorry, Holmes.
01:12:00But it wouldn't be enough.
01:12:02Besides, you understand nothing.
01:12:13No!
01:12:28And Knuff?
01:12:31What about him?
01:12:34He killed them both.
01:12:43Then he rode off on his horse.
01:12:47Luckily, not checking to see if your lordship was dead.
01:12:52Knuff.
01:12:55No.
01:12:58It is the Serf who is pulling the strings.
01:13:43It seems these people are very dangerous.
01:14:01Wouldn't it be better to forget the whole thing, dear Count?
01:14:06And get busy with the invention?
01:14:09Get busy with the invention?
01:14:13Forsake revenge.
01:14:18You must be out of your mind, Dorian.
01:14:23Devote yourself to the cause.
01:14:40Come on!
01:14:42Come on!
01:14:44Come on!
01:14:46Come on!
01:14:48Come on!
01:14:50Come on!
01:14:52Come on!
01:14:54Come on!
01:14:56Come on!
01:14:58Come on!
01:15:00Come on!
01:15:02Come on!
01:15:04Come on!
01:15:06Come on!
01:15:08Come on!
01:15:10Come on!
01:15:12Come on!
01:15:14Come on!
01:15:16Come on!
01:15:18Come on!
01:15:20Come on!
01:15:22Come on!
01:15:24Come on!
01:15:26Come on!
01:15:28Come on!
01:15:40Come on!
01:15:42Come on!
01:15:44Come on!
01:15:46Come on!
01:16:09No!
01:16:14No!
01:16:39I found you.
01:16:44Me.
01:16:59Baron!
01:17:04Baron!
01:17:09I've got bad news, Baron.
01:17:14Moritz?
01:17:18Yes, Baron.
01:17:21Enough!
01:17:23You enjoy killing.
01:17:28And why?
01:17:30For money.
01:17:35Pity.
01:17:44Pity.
01:18:14What's that?
01:18:19This?
01:18:21A telescope.
01:18:23And what's a telescope?
01:18:25Looking through it, you can see everything closer.
01:18:27Would you like to try?
01:18:29Yes.
01:18:39Come quick, Rudy!
01:18:41Rudy! I want to play!
01:18:51Your name is Rudy?
01:18:53Uh-huh. This is fun.
01:18:57Is that your sister?
01:18:59Uh-huh.
01:19:00And what's your sister's name?
01:19:03Victoria.
01:19:06These children are mine, Count Moritz.
01:19:11It is you.
01:19:13Cornelia.
01:19:18Come with me.
01:19:20We might be seen here.
01:19:21The palace is guarded and you're expected. Come.
01:19:36We'll be safe here.
01:19:39This is the place in which I worship and no one else comes here.
01:19:45Do sit down, dear Count.
01:19:54So you married Rudolph.
01:20:00Are you surprised by that, Count Moritz?
01:20:04After everything that transpired following Theo's death, I was completely alone.
01:20:10I had nothing.
01:20:12He had everything.
01:20:16The whole fortune he would want to lend to us.
01:20:19So when he insisted I marry him, I had no choice but to accept.
01:20:24Cornelia, are you aware that Rudolph cheated?
01:20:29That it really was he who killed your brother?
01:20:33After we were married, he told me the truth.
01:20:38No.
01:20:41I didn't mourn Theo.
01:20:44I was exhilarated.
01:20:47After all, I thought Rudolph had done this to get me.
01:20:53Cornelia...
01:20:54I loved Theo very much.
01:20:57But I felt relieved.
01:21:01I felt free.
01:21:05The absurdity of our life had ended.
01:21:11I loved my life.
01:21:16I stayed on, even after Rudy told me he had murdered a young girl while studying in Paris.
01:21:24He used to tell me many things.
01:21:28About you.
01:21:30Your riotous life together.
01:21:33Your friendship.
01:21:34Our friendship.
01:21:37You may not believe me when I tell you that Rudy still has a deep affection for you.
01:21:42Indeed.
01:21:44Out of his deep affection for me, he hired that bandit Knopf to kill me.
01:21:50Fear.
01:21:52Fear.
01:21:55He did that fearing your revenge.
01:22:00Since his sickness, he fears everything.
01:22:07So many people are dying.
01:22:13Death is everywhere.
01:22:22Death.
01:22:28Tell me.
01:22:31Do you still love Rudolph?
01:22:46No.
01:22:49I have never loved him.
01:22:52I was fascinated by him.
01:22:55Yes.
01:22:57Mesmerized by him.
01:23:02But I have never loved him.
01:23:05No.
01:23:12Try to understand.
01:23:15I beg you, count words.
01:23:18Let us stay as we are.
01:23:22You must leave us in peace.
01:23:26Mommy!
01:23:28Mommy!
01:23:43On top of that you can add the stables.
01:23:46Arcadia.
01:23:48Five thousand acres of land.
01:23:51And about three hundred tenants.
01:24:06Do sit down, gentlemen.
01:24:14I don't intend to haggle. I'm in a hurry.
01:24:17One hundred thousand for everything and tomorrow I shall vacate the palace.
01:24:21One hundred thousand?
01:24:24In gold.
01:24:47Good.
01:25:01Teresa.
01:25:05I have not forgotten you.
01:25:16Why?
01:25:19Why didn't you come for me?
01:25:23Why didn't you insist?
01:25:29How did you know I would take you back?
01:25:34That I still loved you.
01:25:37Never stopped loving you.
01:25:40I didn't know.
01:25:42The gambler's instinct, I guess.
01:25:44Only instinct?
01:25:46Not only.
01:25:47I got your letter.
01:25:50Why didn't you answer me?
01:25:55There was unfinished business.
01:25:58It took me time.
01:26:02Tell me about that.
01:26:05Tell me.
01:26:07Tell me what it was.
01:26:08Why?
01:26:10You tell me about you.
01:26:14Nothing to tell.
01:26:16Really.
01:26:26When my parents separated us and took me away,
01:26:30a loveless merit was forced upon me.
01:26:33My husband lived abroad.
01:26:36After much traveling, first to Africa at his side,
01:26:39returning then to nurse my mother at the end.
01:26:43Due to my husband's business, I've been away again these past five years.
01:26:48After he died and I returned,
01:26:50I heard about what happened to you and your friend, to Seth.
01:27:13Martin?
01:27:18Martin?
01:27:20What's the matter?
01:27:31What brings you here, Martin?
01:27:34Master Dorian, sir.
01:27:37Dorian? What's happened?
01:27:39Master Dorian has locked himself up in his lab
01:27:42and for several days now I haven't heard a thing.
01:27:46I'm afraid.
01:27:47Have you tried to break in?
01:27:49Master Dorian has forbade me to enter.
01:27:51He has blocked the door from the inside.
01:27:53There's no way to get in.
01:27:56He's screaming all these terrible things,
01:27:58all these blasphemous things about God.
01:28:10IDIOT!
01:28:24Take him out of here, Martin.
01:28:39IDIOT!
01:29:09IDIOT!
01:29:10IDIOT!
01:29:11IDIOT!
01:29:38Teresa.
01:29:42Teresa.
01:29:55Teresa.
01:29:59Yes,
01:30:01they were my children.
01:30:06And
01:30:09I was.
01:30:11Your father?
01:30:13Yes.
01:30:17Why,
01:30:19Teresa?
01:30:23Why didn't you tell me God?
01:30:28I was 16.
01:30:30My mother told me my babies were stillborn.
01:30:34I didn't know Victor until I came home from Africa.
01:30:38Mother told me as she died
01:30:41that my children were alive
01:30:44and I found them
01:30:46and befriended them.
01:30:49But suddenly
01:30:50it was too late.
01:30:53I never told them and Theo was dead.
01:31:00I tried to reach you.
01:31:04I wrote to you.
01:31:08And when you returned
01:31:11to spare you
01:31:13I kept silent.
01:31:21Help me.
01:31:27Help me.
01:31:32Forgive me.
01:31:33I know I have failed you.
01:31:35If I had only spoken
01:31:37I would have reached you sooner.
01:31:39In my absence I had no way of preventing it.
01:31:41Theo, a victim.
01:31:43Cornelia,
01:31:45a prisoner of her unfortunate marriage.
01:31:48I did not have the strength to set things right.
01:32:07Help me.
01:32:37Good evening, Mr. Knopf.
01:32:43Dessert, where is he?
01:32:46He is not here.
01:32:47Where?
01:32:48I don't know.
01:32:51Tell me where the Baron is.
01:32:54Lendoffs.
01:32:55Lendoffs.
01:32:57And the children?
01:32:59Cornelia?
01:33:00The Baroness died.
01:33:02They all left.
01:33:03Ran away.
01:33:05The plague, you know.
01:33:08Cornelia's dead.
01:33:11The Baron left the palace.
01:33:13He blazed at Lendoffs.
01:33:17The children.
01:33:18Rudy and Victoria.
01:33:20Count Moritz.
01:33:21Tell me where are the children, Mr. Knopf?
01:33:25In the blue bedroom.
01:33:28Count Moritz,
01:33:30please
01:33:32don't kill me.
01:33:33No.
01:33:35Please.
01:33:37No.
01:33:40No.
01:33:50My head!
01:33:55No.
01:33:56Please.
01:33:58No, Moritz.
01:34:02Moritz.
01:34:03No.
01:34:06No.
01:34:23What's all this about?
01:34:25Good Lord.
01:34:27Mr. Knopf!
01:34:28Mr. Knopf won't hear you.
01:34:31Take me to the children.
01:34:33No.
01:34:35Who are you, gentlemen?
01:34:37Please, take me to the children.
01:34:39No.
01:34:45Tell.
01:34:49Gentlemen,
01:34:50what are you doing?
01:34:53What are you going to do with the children?
01:34:56Take the children home, Martin.
01:34:59And give them to the Countess.
01:35:01Victoria and Rudy.
01:35:12What are you going to do with the children?
01:35:26Take good care of them.
01:35:32Aren't you coming with us, Your Lordship?
01:35:36No.
01:35:37I still have something to do.
01:35:40Go now.
01:35:45Go home.
01:36:01Go.
01:36:32No.
01:36:35No.
01:37:02What can I do for you?
01:37:07Nothing.
01:37:09I'm looking for someone else.
01:37:12I'm sorry.
01:37:17Sorry.
01:37:28Yes, sir.
01:37:30I'm looking for someone.
01:37:33Baron Maximilian Lundt.
01:37:35Have you ever heard of him?
01:37:37You're speaking of Baron de Silva, am I right?
01:37:41Yes.
01:37:43What business do you have with the Baron, sir?
01:37:46Just...
01:37:47take me to him.
01:37:49And your name, sir?
01:37:57Wait.
01:37:59My name is Count Victor Moritz.
01:38:04Moritz.
01:38:07This way, sir.
01:38:29Do you hear it?
01:38:31He spends all day playing his spinet.
01:38:35The same melody over and over again.
01:38:39For hours.
01:38:41Hmm?
01:38:42Is that...
01:38:44a very peculiar man?
01:38:48Yes, sir.
01:38:50He's a very peculiar man.
01:38:53He's a very peculiar man.
01:38:56He's a very peculiar man.
01:38:59Go, Moritz.
01:39:01You'll wait here.
01:39:29I...
01:39:30I...
01:39:32I...
01:39:34I...
01:39:36I...
01:39:39I...
01:39:41I...
01:39:43I...
01:39:59I...
01:40:09Yes.
01:40:15Victor.
01:40:18I have been waiting for you for a long time.
01:40:23The acoustics.
01:40:26Phenomenal.
01:40:29Listen.
01:40:34I...
01:40:37Can you hear it?
01:40:43It's like listening to the past.
01:40:47It was good, wasn't it?
01:40:52For a time, yes.
01:41:00You still love me, Victor.
01:41:15Did you know...
01:41:17they were my children?
01:41:22What does it matter now?
01:41:25Rudy.
01:41:27Why?
01:41:30Who knows?
01:41:42Who knows?
01:41:47Are you ready to die, Rudy?
01:41:53I am dying.
01:41:56Thank you, Rudy.
01:42:00Let's play the game, Desev.
01:42:06Let's play the last time.
01:42:10The rules are simple.
01:42:13We each have one shot.
01:42:17This time, both pistols are loaded.
01:42:29Ready?
01:42:59Shoot.
01:43:29Oh.
01:43:30Oh.
01:43:31Oh.
01:43:39Come on.
01:43:40Come on.
01:43:49It's alright.
01:43:51This way.
01:43:56Yes.
01:43:59Watch them.
01:44:00Watch them.
01:44:03Look at them.
01:44:04There he is.
01:44:05Yes.
01:44:06There he is.
01:44:07Rudy.
01:44:13Oh.
01:44:14Oh, Rudy.
01:44:18Awesome.
01:44:24Whoop.
01:44:29Come on.
01:44:32Oh.
