1
00:00:47,470 --> 00:00:48,882
Are you watching closely?

2
00:00:55,689 --> 00:01:00,193
Every magic trick consists of three parts, or acts.

3
00:01:00,260 --> 00:01:03,663
The first part is called "the pledge".

4
00:01:03,730 --> 00:01:07,100
The magician shows you something ordinary.

5
00:01:07,167 --> 00:01:10,637
A deck of cards, a bird or a man.

6
00:01:17,744 --> 00:01:19,679
He shows you this object.

7
00:01:19,746 --> 00:01:22,349
Perhaps he asks you to inspect it,

8
00:01:22,415 --> 00:01:25,452
to see that it is indeed real,

9
00:01:25,518 --> 00:01:28,588
unaltered, normal.

10
00:01:32,225 --> 00:01:35,128
But, of course, it probably isn't.

11
00:01:35,195 --> 00:01:36,996
Where do you think you're going?

12
00:01:37,630 --> 00:01:39,432
I'm part of the bloody act, you fool.

13
00:01:52,345 --> 00:01:54,814
The second act is called "the turn".

14
00:02:09,295 --> 00:02:12,332
The magician takes the ordinary something

15
00:02:13,933 --> 00:02:17,300
and makes it do something extraordinary.

16
00:02:21,508 --> 00:02:25,612
Now you're looking for the secret, but you won't find it,

17
00:02:25,679 --> 00:02:29,516
because, of course, you're not really looking.

18
00:02:29,582 --> 00:02:31,217
You don't really want to know.

19
00:02:34,354 --> 00:02:36,856
You want to be... fooled.

20
00:02:38,525 --> 00:02:40,960
But you wouldn't clap yet,

21
00:02:41,270 --> 00:02:45,198
because making something disappear isn't enough.

22
00:02:45,265 --> 00:02:48,868
You have to bring it back.

23
00:02:50,370 --> 00:02:54,140
That's why every magic trick has a third act.

24
00:02:54,207 --> 00:02:55,875
The hardest part.

25
00:02:55,942 --> 00:02:58,478
The part we call...

26
00:02:58,545 --> 00:02:59,879
...".the prestige".

27
00:03:10,657 --> 00:03:14,861
The prestige? And did Robert Angier, the Great Danton, your employer,

28
00:03:14,928 --> 00:03:17,364
get to that final part of his trick that night?

29
00:03:17,430 --> 00:03:19,532
- No, sir. Something went wrong.
- What went wrong?

30
00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:24,204
I saw someone making their way below stage.

31
00:03:24,270 --> 00:03:26,172
I followed him.

32
00:03:26,239 --> 00:03:29,509
It was Borden, watching Mr. Angier drown.

33
00:03:29,576 --> 00:03:33,130
Would you please describe your occupation to the jury, Mr. Cutter.

34
00:03:33,790 --> 00:03:35,448
I'm an ingénieur, I design illusions

35
00:03:35,515 --> 00:03:38,685
and construct the apparatus necessary for performing them.

36
00:03:38,752 --> 00:03:43,189
So, Mr. Cutter, was this water-filled tank beneath the stage

37
00:03:43,256 --> 00:03:44,858
part of Mr. Angier's illusion?

38
00:03:44,924 --> 00:03:48,795
No. The tank was brought on for the first trick

39
00:03:48,862 --> 00:03:50,830
and then taken offstage.

40
00:03:50,897 --> 00:03:54,200
Borden must have placed it under the trap door after the end of it.

41
00:03:54,267 --> 00:03:55,835
How large was this tank?

42
00:03:55,902 --> 00:03:58,505
It's a normal tank for escape under water,

43
00:03:58,571 --> 00:04:00,707
about 400 or 500 gallons.

44
00:04:00,774 --> 00:04:03,276
How do you think he was able to move the tank

45
00:04:03,343 --> 00:04:05,712
under the trap door without anyone noticing?

46
00:04:05,779 --> 00:04:08,148
He's a magician, ask him.

47
00:04:08,214 --> 00:04:09,315
I ask again,

48
00:04:09,382 --> 00:04:12,619
would this man explain the mechanics of Mr. Angier's illusion.

49
00:04:12,686 --> 00:04:16,220
The Real Transported Man is one of the most sought after illusions

50
00:04:16,890 --> 00:04:17,290
in this business.

51
00:04:17,357 --> 00:04:18,925
I have the right to sell it on.

52
00:04:18,992 --> 00:04:21,628
If I reveal the method here, the trick is worthless.

53
00:04:21,695 --> 00:04:23,963
How can we know that the tank wasn't simply

54
00:04:24,300 --> 00:04:26,499
some part of the trick that went wrong?

55
00:04:26,566 --> 00:04:28,635
Mr. Cutter, I see your predicament.

56
00:04:28,702 --> 00:04:31,104
But Alfred Borden's life hangs in the balance.

57
00:04:31,171 --> 00:04:34,341
If you were prepared to disclose the details to me in private,

58
00:04:34,407 --> 00:04:37,243
I might be able to judge their relevance to the case.

59
00:04:37,310 --> 00:04:39,946
Might this be an acceptable compromise?

60
00:04:58,231 --> 00:05:01,601
I'm going to have to ask you to turn out your pockets.

61
00:05:05,739 --> 00:05:09,309
Not my idea, sir. The warden saw his show in Manchester last year

62
00:05:09,376 --> 00:05:11,244
where he vanished into thin air.

63
00:05:11,311 --> 00:05:13,813
He's convinced he'll try and escape.

64
00:05:17,217 --> 00:05:20,200
I told him the only way Borden's going to disappear

65
00:05:20,860 --> 00:05:22,522
is if I leave him out there with the other inmates.

66
00:05:28,395 --> 00:05:29,729
Check the locks...

67
00:05:31,431 --> 00:05:32,999
...twice.

68
00:05:40,730 --> 00:05:42,609
My name is Owens.

69
00:05:42,676 --> 00:05:44,944
I'm a solicitor.

70
00:05:45,110 --> 00:05:48,682
I represent Lord Caldlow, an accomplished amateur magician and...

71
00:05:48,748 --> 00:05:51,351
How much?

72
00:05:51,418 --> 00:05:53,753
- He is interested...
- How much for my tricks?

73
00:05:53,820 --> 00:05:55,422
Five thousand pounds.

74
00:05:55,488 --> 00:05:57,991
Talk to Fallon, my ingénieur. Money's for him.

75
00:05:58,580 --> 00:06:01,761
Yes, I did. He offered to sell me your tricks.

76
00:06:01,828 --> 00:06:04,698
All except the most valuable one, The Transported Man.

77
00:06:04,764 --> 00:06:08,680
Well, I won't forgive myself for selling my greatest trick.

78
00:06:08,134 --> 00:06:09,569
Even for your daughter?

79
00:06:11,237 --> 00:06:15,575
If you are for the drop, your daughter is going to need looking after.

80
00:06:15,642 --> 00:06:17,377
Fallon will take care of her.

81
00:06:17,444 --> 00:06:19,179
Perfect, Fallon.

82
00:06:19,245 --> 00:06:21,281
A man with a past as obscure as your own.

83
00:06:21,348 --> 00:06:26,386
The courts have motioned she be removed from his care. She will be an orphan.

84
00:06:26,453 --> 00:06:28,722
I know you're no stranger to the workhouse.

85
00:06:29,489 --> 00:06:31,324
It's better than here?

86
00:06:31,391 --> 00:06:34,627
I'm offering you a way to wrap up your affairs with dignity.

87
00:06:34,694 --> 00:06:36,663
I'm offering your daughter a future.

88
00:06:36,730 --> 00:06:39,766
As Lord Caldlow's ward, she will want for nothing...

89
00:06:39,833 --> 00:06:41,668
...ever.

90
00:06:41,735 --> 00:06:44,738
Well, think it over.

91
00:06:44,804 --> 00:06:48,575
And Lord Caldlow would like you to have this,

92
00:06:48,641 --> 00:06:51,177
as a show of good faith. It might be of interest.

93
00:06:51,244 --> 00:06:54,781
Robert Angier's diary, including the time he spent in Colorado

94
00:06:54,848 --> 00:06:56,116
Iearning your trick.

95
00:06:56,182 --> 00:06:57,884
- He never learned it.
- Really?

96
00:06:57,951 --> 00:07:01,488
On his return, he mounted a version of The Transported Man

97
00:07:01,554 --> 00:07:05,525
that the papers said was better even than your original.

98
00:07:05,592 --> 00:07:06,893
If you want Angier's secrets,

99
00:07:07,861 --> 00:07:12,432
you go dig him up and ask him yourself.

100
00:07:12,499 --> 00:07:14,367
I want your secret, Mr. Borden.

101
00:07:17,303 --> 00:07:18,738
Consider your daughter.

102
00:07:26,179 --> 00:07:28,148
A cipher,

103
00:07:28,214 --> 00:07:30,250
an enigma...

104
00:07:32,152 --> 00:07:33,987
...a search,

105
00:07:34,540 --> 00:07:35,550
a search for answers.

106
00:07:42,729 --> 00:07:46,533
Even if Colorado is the end of my journey,

107
00:07:46,599 --> 00:07:49,803
it'll take much longer to unravel

108
00:07:49,869 --> 00:07:51,771
the rest of Borden's secrets.

109
00:07:53,907 --> 00:07:55,809
See, the cipher in his notebook is

110
00:07:55,875 --> 00:07:58,378
unlocked by a single word,

111
00:07:58,445 --> 00:08:01,414
but it will still take months to translate his writing.

112
00:08:01,481 --> 00:08:04,250
And to know his mind.

113
00:08:07,187 --> 00:08:09,522
Well, my passion is equal to the task.

114
00:08:22,602 --> 00:08:26,139
Mr. Angier, welcome to Colorado Springs.

115
00:08:41,521 --> 00:08:44,591
- The whole town has electricity.
- Yes, sir.

116
00:09:01,775 --> 00:09:03,276
Well...

117
00:09:03,343 --> 00:09:04,844
...quite a reception.

118
00:09:04,911 --> 00:09:07,414
You're our first guest of the season, Mr. Angier.

119
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,984
Your telegram didn't indicate how long you'd be staying with us.

120
00:09:11,510 --> 00:09:12,686
As long as it takes.

121
00:09:12,752 --> 00:09:16,220
I will need a coach tomorrow to take me up the mountain.

122
00:09:16,890 --> 00:09:17,824
Well, the peak's closed, sir.

123
00:09:17,891 --> 00:09:19,726
For scientific experimentation.

124
00:09:19,793 --> 00:09:21,761
Yes, I know.

125
00:09:21,828 --> 00:09:23,129
That's why I'm here.

126
00:09:30,370 --> 00:09:32,605
Whoa. Whoa.

127
00:09:34,307 --> 00:09:37,243
You'll have to walk the rest, I'm afraid, sir.

128
00:10:12,846 --> 00:10:16,160
I'm amazed how many of you newspaper writers

129
00:10:16,820 --> 00:10:18,151
can't read my sign.

130
00:10:22,889 --> 00:10:25,492
Not the welcome I was expecting.

131
00:10:28,461 --> 00:10:30,530
I know you.

132
00:10:34,501 --> 00:10:36,360
You're the Great Danton.

133
00:10:36,102 --> 00:10:38,405
I saw your show in London.

134
00:10:38,471 --> 00:10:41,241
Seven times you guessed every object

135
00:10:41,307 --> 00:10:43,543
the audience had in their pockets.

136
00:10:43,610 --> 00:10:47,681
I'm Alley. Sorry about the fence. People keep interfering with our work.

137
00:10:47,747 --> 00:10:50,417
- I've come to see Tesla.
- Why?

138
00:10:50,483 --> 00:10:54,554
He made a machine for a colleague of mine some time ago.

139
00:10:54,621 --> 00:10:58,124
- Can you get me a meeting with him?
- Impossible, I'm afraid.

140
00:10:58,191 --> 00:11:00,427
I've brought a lot of money.

141
00:11:00,493 --> 00:11:02,162
I'm sorry, Mr. Angier.

142
00:11:03,229 --> 00:11:04,898
I simply can't help.

143
00:11:06,966 --> 00:11:10,103
I'll be staying at the hotel, indefinitely.

144
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,542
Hey, what am I holding?

145
00:11:15,608 --> 00:11:16,910
Your watch.

146
00:11:21,715 --> 00:11:25,218
Borden's journal entry for April 3,1897,

147
00:11:25,285 --> 00:11:27,387
describes a show at the Orpheum Theatre.

148
00:11:27,454 --> 00:11:30,357
That was just days after he first met me.

149
00:11:33,930 --> 00:11:36,463
We were two young men at the start of a great career,

150
00:11:36,529 --> 00:11:38,865
two young men devoted to an illusion,

151
00:11:38,932 --> 00:11:41,501
two young men who never intended to hurt anyone.

152
00:11:41,568 --> 00:11:43,336
Which of you brave souls

153
00:11:43,403 --> 00:11:46,139
is willing to bind this lovely young woman?

154
00:11:47,907 --> 00:11:49,843
Me!

155
00:11:58,318 --> 00:11:59,853
If you would tie her wrists,

156
00:12:00,453 --> 00:12:02,822
bind her feet...

157
00:12:02,889 --> 00:12:05,425
...around the ankle.

158
00:12:05,492 --> 00:12:07,594
Are either of you two gentlemen sailors?

159
00:12:07,660 --> 00:12:09,496
- No.
- No.

160
00:12:10,296 --> 00:12:13,400
I'm sure you can both tie a strong knot.

161
00:13:16,496 --> 00:13:20,100
He's complacent, he's predictable, he's boring.

162
00:13:20,166 --> 00:13:22,736
Milton has gotten success, whatever that means,

163
00:13:22,802 --> 00:13:26,390
so now he's scared. He won't take any risks at all.

164
00:13:26,106 --> 00:13:29,175
He's squandering the goodwill of his audience with tired,

165
00:13:29,242 --> 00:13:31,845
- second-rate tricks...
- They're all favorites.

166
00:13:31,911 --> 00:13:35,415
Give me something fresh. He won't even try a bloody bullet catch.

167
00:13:35,482 --> 00:13:37,317
A bullet catch is suicide.

168
00:13:37,384 --> 00:13:41,388
All it takes is some smart*** volunteer to put a button in the barrel.

169
00:13:41,454 --> 00:13:43,723
- Use a plant.
- You can't for every trick.

170
00:13:43,890 --> 00:13:45,759
No seats left for the punters.

171
00:13:45,825 --> 00:13:49,629
All right, no bullet catch, whatever, but the point is a real magician

172
00:13:49,696 --> 00:13:51,331
tries to invent something new

173
00:13:51,398 --> 00:13:54,267
that other magicians will scratch their heads over.

174
00:13:54,334 --> 00:13:56,536
Then you sell it to him for a small fortune.

175
00:13:56,603 --> 00:13:59,706
- What?
- I suppose you have such a trick?

176
00:13:59,773 --> 00:14:02,342
- I sure do.
- Would you care to sell it to me?

177
00:14:02,409 --> 00:14:04,100
No. No one else can do my trick.

178
00:14:04,770 --> 00:14:06,212
- Any trick can be duplicated.
- Wrong.

179
00:14:06,279 --> 00:14:10,160
If Mr. Borden has invented his masterpiece,

180
00:14:10,830 --> 00:14:11,985
he's prepared to do it.

181
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,187
Milton is a showman, but Borden is right,

182
00:14:14,254 --> 00:14:15,889
he won't get his hands dirty.

183
00:14:15,955 --> 00:14:19,526
If you want to see what it takes to make real magic,

184
00:14:19,592 --> 00:14:23,430
go to the Tenley. There's a Chinaman there and he really has what it takes.

185
00:14:23,496 --> 00:14:25,732
- Chung Ling Soo.
- I can't afford that.

186
00:14:25,799 --> 00:14:27,534
I know the bloke run the door.

187
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,938
You two go and see that show, and whichever one of you can tell me

188
00:14:32,500 --> 00:14:35,108
how he does the goldfish bowl trick gets the prize.

189
00:14:35,175 --> 00:14:37,444
- Which is?
- Ten minutes onstage

190
00:14:37,510 --> 00:14:39,346
with my old friend, Mr. Ackerman.

191
00:14:39,412 --> 00:14:40,847
- Really?
- Who's Ackerman?

192
00:14:40,914 --> 00:14:43,983
The top theatrical agent in London.

193
00:14:44,500 --> 00:14:47,530
- I saw you drop the knot again.
- I turned my wrists.

194
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,756
Some nights you just don't get it, do you?

195
00:14:49,823 --> 00:14:52,692
I mean, if that knot slips and Julia's on the hoist,

196
00:14:52,759 --> 00:14:53,860
she'll break her leg.

197
00:14:53,927 --> 00:14:55,562
It's the wrong knot.

198
00:14:55,628 --> 00:14:58,498
Like I said, the Langford double will hold tighter.

199
00:14:58,565 --> 00:15:02,102
The Langford double isn't a wet knot. It's too dangerous.

200
00:15:02,168 --> 00:15:04,404
If the rope swells, she can't slip it.

201
00:15:04,471 --> 00:15:07,707
- I can slip a Langford underwater.
- We can practice.

202
00:15:07,774 --> 00:15:11,711
- Borden, he said no.
- Oh, you know knots better than me?

203
00:15:11,778 --> 00:15:13,780
Listen, no more mistakes.

204
00:15:13,847 --> 00:15:16,549
All right. Yeah? Do you? You want to take over?

205
00:15:16,616 --> 00:15:19,552
- Just leave.
- I didn't think so.

206
00:15:23,990 --> 00:15:25,825
Hey, Cutter, where's he from?

207
00:15:25,892 --> 00:15:29,195
Where are you from? He shifts props for Virgil at the hall.

208
00:15:29,262 --> 00:15:32,432
- Worried he'll steal your tricks?
- Doesn't deal in methods.

209
00:15:32,499 --> 00:15:35,568
- How do you know?
- Because I hired him

210
00:15:35,635 --> 00:15:38,872
to find out how Virgil does the orange trick.

211
00:15:38,938 --> 00:15:41,274
- I don't trust him.
- He's a natural magician.

212
00:15:41,341 --> 00:15:43,443
'Course you can't trust him.

213
00:15:43,510 --> 00:15:44,878
I think he's all right.

214
00:15:44,944 --> 00:15:47,280
- You think everyone's all right.
- Even you.

215
00:15:47,347 --> 00:15:51,184
Watch your sightlines. If I can see you kiss your wife's leg every night,

216
00:15:51,251 --> 00:15:53,920
so can the blokes at the ends of rows three and four!

217
00:16:25,985 --> 00:16:28,421
You're wrong. It can't be.

218
00:16:28,488 --> 00:16:32,225
- Look at the man.
- This is the trick.

219
00:16:32,292 --> 00:16:34,327
This is the performance. Right here.

220
00:16:34,394 --> 00:16:36,763
This is why no one can detect his method.

221
00:16:38,531 --> 00:16:40,133
Total devotion to his art.

222
00:16:41,134 --> 00:16:42,869
A lot of self-sacrifice.

223
00:16:42,936 --> 00:16:45,305
You know.

224
00:16:45,372 --> 00:16:48,740
It's the only way to escape...

225
00:16:48,141 --> 00:16:50,577
...all this, you know?

226
00:16:54,347 --> 00:16:58,510
I can barely lift this thing and it's not even filled with water.

227
00:16:59,686 --> 00:17:02,220
Or fish, look.

228
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,357
I don't know. Hang on a second.

229
00:17:06,292 --> 00:17:08,995
He must be strong as an ox.

230
00:17:11,631 --> 00:17:14,467
He's been pretending to be a cripple for years.

231
00:17:14,534 --> 00:17:18,138
Any time he's in public, any time he goes out. It's unthinkable.

232
00:17:18,204 --> 00:17:21,141
Borden saw it at once. But I couldn't fathom it.

233
00:17:21,207 --> 00:17:24,770
Living my whole life pretending to be someone else.

234
00:17:24,144 --> 00:17:25,879
You are pretending.

235
00:17:25,945 --> 00:17:27,981
I don't think changing a name compares.

236
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,517
Not your name. Who you are and where you're from.

237
00:17:30,583 --> 00:17:34,554
I promised I wouldn't embarrass my family with my theatrical endeavors.

238
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,324
I thought of a name for you.

239
00:17:39,693 --> 00:17:43,196
The Great Danton.

240
00:17:43,263 --> 00:17:46,232
Do you like it? But it's sophisticated.

241
00:17:56,476 --> 00:17:59,212
But what does he know of self-sacrifice?

242
00:18:04,317 --> 00:18:06,453
You bloody fool.

243
00:18:34,140 --> 00:18:37,617
- He killed it.
- It's OK.

244
00:18:37,684 --> 00:18:41,521
- He killed it.
- He didn't.

245
00:18:45,592 --> 00:18:47,293
Look, now he'll bring it back.

246
00:18:49,529 --> 00:18:52,465
- No, he killed it.
- No, he didn't.

247
00:19:00,774 --> 00:19:03,743
Look, see, he's all right. He's fine.

248
00:19:03,810 --> 00:19:07,914
- Look at him.
- But where's his brother?

249
00:19:10,617 --> 00:19:13,887
He's a sharp lad, your son.

250
00:19:13,953 --> 00:19:16,556
Oh, he's my nephew.

251
00:19:16,623 --> 00:19:18,124
Ah.

252
00:19:22,362 --> 00:19:23,863
You're the lucky one today.

253
00:19:44,451 --> 00:19:47,620
Are you watching closely?

254
00:19:50,390 --> 00:19:51,891
Look closer.

255
00:19:54,961 --> 00:19:56,763
Never show anyone.

256
00:19:56,830 --> 00:19:59,566
They'll beg you and flatter you for the secret,

257
00:19:59,632 --> 00:20:03,136
but as soon as you give it up, you'll be nothing to them.

258
00:20:03,203 --> 00:20:05,472
You understand? Nothing.

259
00:20:05,538 --> 00:20:08,608
The secret impresses no one.

260
00:20:08,675 --> 00:20:12,278
The trick you use it for is everything.

261
00:20:16,516 --> 00:20:19,452
Well, thank you for lunch, Mr. Borden.

262
00:20:19,519 --> 00:20:21,210
You're welcome.

263
00:20:22,455 --> 00:20:24,124
Alfred, it's Alfred.

264
00:20:24,190 --> 00:20:25,792
Alfred.

265
00:20:25,859 --> 00:20:28,828
So I could use a cup of tea.

266
00:20:28,895 --> 00:20:32,432
I can't allow... It's the landlord. It's not...

267
00:20:33,867 --> 00:20:37,103
You think that's... Is that enough to keep me out?

268
00:20:37,170 --> 00:20:40,407
I think so.

269
00:20:41,408 --> 00:20:43,900
So I'll see you again?

270
00:20:52,218 --> 00:20:54,721
Milk and sugar?

271
00:21:15,809 --> 00:21:17,777
What's in there?

272
00:21:17,844 --> 00:21:19,779
Angier's machine.

273
00:21:28,355 --> 00:21:29,989
You built this, Mr. Cutter?

274
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,926
Oh, no, sir. This wasn't built by a magician.

275
00:21:32,992 --> 00:21:35,280
This was built by a wizard.

276
00:21:35,950 --> 00:21:40,100
A man who can actually do what magicians pretend to do.

277
00:21:40,166 --> 00:21:44,371
Tell me, Your Honor, what happens with these things after the trial?

278
00:21:44,437 --> 00:21:46,406
They've been sold to a Lord Caldlow.

279
00:21:46,473 --> 00:21:49,242
An avid collector, very interested in the case.

280
00:21:49,309 --> 00:21:51,811
Yeah. Well, don't let him take this.

281
00:21:51,878 --> 00:21:54,681
- Why ever not?
- It's too dangerous.

282
00:21:54,848 --> 00:21:56,916
I'm sure beneath its bells and whistles

283
00:21:56,983 --> 00:21:59,285
it's got a simple and disappointing trick.

284
00:21:59,352 --> 00:22:01,788
The most disappointing of all, sir.

285
00:22:03,957 --> 00:22:05,658
It has no trick.

286
00:22:08,940 --> 00:22:09,696
It's real.

287
00:22:12,799 --> 00:22:15,101
This is the tank Angier drowned in?

288
00:22:15,168 --> 00:22:17,237
Yes.

289
00:22:17,303 --> 00:22:19,472
This is the...

290
00:22:19,539 --> 00:22:22,609
...place where the performer's hand reaches through

291
00:22:22,676 --> 00:22:23,943
to the trick padlock.

292
00:22:24,100 --> 00:22:26,279
A standard magical apparatus for escapes?

293
00:22:26,346 --> 00:22:28,848
Yeah, with one important difference.

294
00:22:28,915 --> 00:22:30,950
This isn't a trick lock.

295
00:22:31,170 --> 00:22:32,986
It's been switched for a real one.

296
00:22:33,530 --> 00:22:35,210
What a way to kill someone.

297
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,791
They're magicians, Your Honor.

298
00:22:37,857 --> 00:22:43,263
Showmen, men who live by dressing up plain and sometimes brutal truths,

299
00:22:43,663 --> 00:22:46,433
to amaze, to shock.

300
00:22:46,499 --> 00:22:48,668
Even without an audience?

301
00:22:49,836 --> 00:22:51,805
There was an audience.

302
00:22:52,639 --> 00:22:54,708
You see, this water tank

303
00:22:54,774 --> 00:22:58,211
was of particular significance to these two men.

304
00:22:59,512 --> 00:23:02,480
Particularly awful significance.

305
00:23:04,951 --> 00:23:09,956
Which of you brave souls is willing to bind this lovely young woman?

306
00:23:12,525 --> 00:23:14,270
If you would tie her wrists,

307
00:23:14,940 --> 00:23:16,262
bind her feet around the ankle.

308
00:23:29,476 --> 00:23:32,780
- Are either of you gentlemen sailors?
- No.

309
00:23:34,470 --> 00:23:36,249
I'm sure you can both tie a strong knot.

310
00:24:31,438 --> 00:24:32,639
Robert!

311
00:24:54,794 --> 00:24:56,196
No, no.

312
00:25:00,166 --> 00:25:02,702
Julia. Julia!

313
00:25:47,380 --> 00:25:50,250
I knew an old sailor once.

314
00:25:50,316 --> 00:25:53,219
They told me he went overboard,

315
00:25:53,286 --> 00:25:55,388
tangled in the sails.

316
00:25:55,455 --> 00:25:57,257
They pulled him out,

317
00:25:57,323 --> 00:26:01,227
but it took him five minutes to cough.

318
00:26:01,294 --> 00:26:03,329
He said it was like...

319
00:26:03,396 --> 00:26:05,231
...going home.

320
00:26:10,570 --> 00:26:12,906
What do you want, Borden?

321
00:26:19,713 --> 00:26:21,748
I'm sorry for your loss, Angier.

322
00:26:25,552 --> 00:26:27,620
Which knot did you tie?

323
00:26:30,757 --> 00:26:33,693
I keep asking myself that.

324
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,762
- And?
- And...

325
00:26:37,497 --> 00:26:40,367
I'm sorry, I just don't know.

326
00:26:42,435 --> 00:26:43,937
You don't know?

327
00:26:45,772 --> 00:26:47,707
I'm sorry.

328
00:26:48,675 --> 00:26:51,277
You don't know?

329
00:26:54,881 --> 00:26:57,830
You don't know?!

330
00:27:03,356 --> 00:27:06,693
- Alfred?
- Good news. We got our first booking.

331
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,950
I don't think we've had the pleasure.

332
00:27:09,162 --> 00:27:12,198
- Mr. Fallon is my ingénieur.
- Where did you get all...?

333
00:27:12,265 --> 00:27:16,269
- I had to borrow and... don't ask.
- He's a very enterprising soul

334
00:27:16,336 --> 00:27:18,138
is... is Mr. Fallon. So...

335
00:27:18,204 --> 00:27:21,641
- We can't afford to pay him.
- The money will come with the audience.

336
00:27:21,708 --> 00:27:25,412
But what about until then? What I earn, it's barely enough for us.

337
00:27:25,478 --> 00:27:29,449
Don't worry about it. I'll share half my food with him or something.

338
00:27:29,516 --> 00:27:32,485
You're going to be doing that with someone else.

339
00:27:32,552 --> 00:27:34,454
No. You're...

340
00:27:34,521 --> 00:27:36,790
Having a baby.

341
00:27:36,856 --> 00:27:39,759
Oh, my God.

342
00:27:39,826 --> 00:27:42,662
We should have told Fallon. That is great.

343
00:27:42,729 --> 00:27:45,198
Oh, come here.

344
00:27:45,265 --> 00:27:48,234
Oh.

345
00:27:48,301 --> 00:27:49,836
Alfred, what is this?

346
00:27:49,903 --> 00:27:54,740
Oh, this is just the trick to work Ackerman up at the end of my act.

347
00:27:54,140 --> 00:27:56,843
Is it the masterpiece, the great trick?

348
00:27:56,910 --> 00:27:59,679
No, no, no, the world is not ready for that one yet.

349
00:27:59,846 --> 00:28:04,840
This is just your run-of-the-mill, daring, spectacular bullet catch.

350
00:28:04,150 --> 00:28:06,686
- A bullet catch.
- Yeah, but it's safe.

351
00:28:06,753 --> 00:28:09,550
I promise. Look.

352
00:28:11,424 --> 00:28:13,693
- Shoot me.
- Shoot you?

353
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:14,994
Go on, shoot me.

354
00:28:17,497 --> 00:28:19,532
- Right there.
- No, I can't.

355
00:28:19,599 --> 00:28:22,168
No, no, not there. Shoot me here. Don't...

356
00:28:26,406 --> 00:28:29,275
How's that?

357
00:28:29,342 --> 00:28:32,679
That's very good. Tell me how you do it.

358
00:28:32,746 --> 00:28:33,880
No, I can't do that.

359
00:28:35,949 --> 00:28:38,818
- Well, then you can't do it.
- I can't do it?

360
00:28:38,885 --> 00:28:42,222
I'm sorry, but I can't raise a child on my own.

361
00:28:42,288 --> 00:28:44,624
You don't tell anybody that I told you.

362
00:28:44,691 --> 00:28:47,270
- OK.
- Gunpowder.

363
00:28:49,596 --> 00:28:50,730
Wadding.

364
00:28:52,365 --> 00:28:54,467
Then the bullet.

365
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:56,803
Ramrod.

366
00:29:01,508 --> 00:29:03,510
Hold out your hand.

367
00:29:05,578 --> 00:29:09,516
The bullet is not even in the gun when the charge is fired.

368
00:29:09,582 --> 00:29:13,353
Once you know, it's actually very obvious.

369
00:29:14,421 --> 00:29:16,423
Well, I mean, you still get...

370
00:29:16,489 --> 00:29:18,910
It's dangerous.

371
00:29:18,158 --> 00:29:20,360
- People still get killed doing that.
- How?

372
00:29:20,427 --> 00:29:23,163
You get some smart*** who could put a penny or a button

373
00:29:23,229 --> 00:29:26,566
or, God forbid, Sarah, somebody could put a bullet down there.

374
00:29:26,633 --> 00:29:29,836
Don't worry. Don't worry,

375
00:29:29,903 --> 00:29:33,173
because I'm not gonna let anything happen.

376
00:29:33,239 --> 00:29:36,109
Everything's gonna be all right because...

377
00:29:37,477 --> 00:29:40,747
...I love you very much.

378
00:29:43,383 --> 00:29:46,686
- Say it again.
- I love you.

379
00:29:47,754 --> 00:29:50,223
- Not today.
- What?

380
00:29:50,290 --> 00:29:53,460
Well, some days it's not true, and today you don't mean it.

381
00:29:53,526 --> 00:29:56,763
Maybe today you're more in love with magic than me.

382
00:29:56,830 --> 00:29:59,466
I like being able to tell the difference.

383
00:29:59,532 --> 00:30:02,335
It makes the days it is true

384
00:30:02,402 --> 00:30:04,738
mean something.

385
00:30:06,373 --> 00:30:07,807
All right.

386
00:30:26,793 --> 00:30:30,960
Metal rings, ladies and gentlemen.

387
00:30:30,163 --> 00:30:32,832
If there are any ladies and gentlemen here.

388
00:30:32,899 --> 00:30:36,269
- Solid metal.
- Seen that already.

389
00:30:46,913 --> 00:30:48,140
Who threw that?

390
00:31:04,597 --> 00:31:06,399
This is what you came for, is it?

391
00:31:10,236 --> 00:31:11,738
So...

392
00:31:12,839 --> 00:31:14,741
...who wants to volunteer?

393
00:31:14,808 --> 00:31:16,576
- I do!
- Me!

394
00:31:24,317 --> 00:31:25,385
Me.

395
00:31:27,153 --> 00:31:29,222
Me.

396
00:31:42,635 --> 00:31:45,138
Are you man enough, sir?

397
00:31:50,110 --> 00:31:51,945
Yes.

398
00:32:02,722 --> 00:32:04,791
Which knot did you tie, Borden?

399
00:32:10,997 --> 00:32:13,266
Which knot did you tie, Borden?

400
00:32:14,434 --> 00:32:16,136
I don't know.

401
00:32:31,685 --> 00:32:35,355
He came in to demand an answer, and I told him the truth.

402
00:32:35,422 --> 00:32:38,591
That I have fought with myself over that night,

403
00:32:38,658 --> 00:32:41,995
one half of me swearing blind that I tied a simple slipknot,

404
00:32:42,620 --> 00:32:45,432
the other half convinced that I tied the Langford double.

405
00:32:45,498 --> 00:32:47,534
I can never know for sure.

406
00:32:50,470 --> 00:32:52,739
How can he not know!

407
00:32:52,806 --> 00:32:54,574
How can he not know?

408
00:32:56,209 --> 00:32:58,712
He must know what he did.

409
00:32:58,778 --> 00:33:00,180
He must.

410
00:33:02,816 --> 00:33:04,818
Sarah, that bloody hurts.

411
00:33:05,518 --> 00:33:08,154
I don't understand how it can be bleeding again.

412
00:33:08,221 --> 00:33:10,657
It's as bad as the day it happened.

413
00:33:12,392 --> 00:33:16,329
- We have to get a doctor back.
- We can't afford the doctor back.

414
00:33:17,897 --> 00:33:21,501
- You've woken her.
- Great.

415
00:33:21,568 --> 00:33:24,471
I'm sorry, I need this to heal so I can get back to work.

416
00:33:24,537 --> 00:33:28,308
You've got to face things. What tricks can you perform with this injury?

417
00:33:28,375 --> 00:33:31,845
I can do car pulls. I can do some prop tricks.

418
00:33:31,911 --> 00:33:36,282
I can still do that. I can do the trick I've been telling you about.

419
00:33:36,349 --> 00:33:38,485
The one that they're gonna remember me for.

420
00:33:40,854 --> 00:33:42,455
Come on.

421
00:34:08,140 --> 00:34:11,217
I never thought I'd find an answer at the bottom of a pint glass.

422
00:34:11,284 --> 00:34:12,886
Hasn't stopped your looking.

423
00:34:18,910 --> 00:34:20,960
Heard about a booking. Nice little theater.

424
00:34:21,270 --> 00:34:23,863
- Young, up-and-coming magician.
- Who?

425
00:34:23,930 --> 00:34:26,666
- You.
- Me? Booking? Why?

426
00:34:26,733 --> 00:34:28,835
I want to keep on working.

427
00:34:28,902 --> 00:34:32,138
Who's going to hire the ingénieur that killed Julia McCullough

428
00:34:32,205 --> 00:34:34,341
in front of a sellout crowd at the Orpheum?

429
00:34:35,108 --> 00:34:37,310
Someone who knows it wasn't your fault.

430
00:34:37,377 --> 00:34:40,880
Someone who knows Alfred Borden and his repertoire of exotic knots.

431
00:34:40,947 --> 00:34:44,484
I hear he had a spot of bad luck catching a bullet south of the river.

432
00:34:44,551 --> 00:34:47,354
That's a dangerous trick, that one.

433
00:34:52,559 --> 00:34:54,527
We'll have to whitewash the windows,

434
00:34:54,594 --> 00:34:58,298
confound the more curious members of the public, but it will do.

435
00:35:00,133 --> 00:35:03,770
- We should see about an assistant.
- I've made some arrangements.

436
00:35:04,671 --> 00:35:06,439
You settled on a name?

437
00:35:07,340 --> 00:35:09,900
Yes, I have.

438
00:35:09,750 --> 00:35:10,944
The Great Danton.

439
00:35:11,110 --> 00:35:13,546
It's a bit old-fashioned, isn't it?

440
00:35:14,948 --> 00:35:17,183
No, it's sophisticated.

441
00:35:17,250 --> 00:35:20,200
The birdcage can't be our climax. Everybody knows it.

442
00:35:20,860 --> 00:35:22,489
- Not like this.
- I don't want to kill doves.

443
00:35:22,555 --> 00:35:24,424
Then stay off the stage.

444
00:35:24,491 --> 00:35:26,192
You're a magician, not a wizard.

445
00:35:26,259 --> 00:35:30,130
You got to get your hands dirty, if you're going to achieve the impossible.

446
00:35:31,598 --> 00:35:33,967
In here, Miss Wenscombe.

447
00:35:34,340 --> 00:35:38,505
No point in meeting Mr. Angier if you don't fit. On the right.

448
00:35:41,675 --> 00:35:43,710
- What's so hard about this?
- Nothing.

449
00:35:43,777 --> 00:35:46,312
You're going... down here.

450
00:35:52,118 --> 00:35:54,988
- And this will conceal, right?
- Oh, sure.

451
00:35:55,655 --> 00:35:57,257
- Tighten up on there.
- Yep.

452
00:35:57,323 --> 00:35:58,358
OK.

453
00:36:00,460 --> 00:36:01,528
This ties up here?

454
00:36:01,594 --> 00:36:02,996
- Ties in the back.
- Good.

455
00:36:09,690 --> 00:36:11,271
Breathe as little as possible.

456
00:36:17,777 --> 00:36:20,413
Now, you see?

457
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:21,881
- That's it.
- OK.

458
00:36:25,318 --> 00:36:27,153
She's not experienced,

459
00:36:27,220 --> 00:36:29,255
but she knows how to present herself.

460
00:36:29,322 --> 00:36:33,927
A pretty assistant is the most effective form of misdirection.

461
00:36:33,993 --> 00:36:37,364
Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, for my final trick,

462
00:36:37,430 --> 00:36:40,200
I will require the assistance of two volunteers.

463
00:36:40,266 --> 00:36:42,535
Mr. Merrit, if you would oblige me?

464
00:36:44,437 --> 00:36:45,972
Yep.

465
00:36:47,774 --> 00:36:49,476
- Under?
- Under, yeah.

466
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:52,345
Come around his foot.

467
00:36:52,412 --> 00:36:53,847
- Careful.
- It's all right.

468
00:37:14,701 --> 00:37:16,970
- Your volunteer, put their hand there.
- Yeah?

469
00:37:17,370 --> 00:37:18,872
And another one here.

470
00:37:18,938 --> 00:37:22,475
If you'll place your hands on either side of the cage, please.

471
00:37:22,542 --> 00:37:23,877
Thank you, Olivia.

472
00:37:23,943 --> 00:37:27,714
You best not be intending to hurt this animal, Mr. Angier.

473
00:37:27,781 --> 00:37:30,150
- Of course not.
- Ready? Right.

474
00:37:30,917 --> 00:37:33,720
- One...
- Two...

475
00:37:34,454 --> 00:37:35,722
Three.

476
00:37:39,726 --> 00:37:41,528
That's bloody marvelous, Cutter.

477
00:37:42,529 --> 00:37:43,730
Very nice.

478
00:37:43,797 --> 00:37:45,598
And the best part is...

479
00:37:50,970 --> 00:37:53,406
I thought you said I had to get my hands dirty.

480
00:37:53,473 --> 00:37:55,375
Someday, perhaps you will.

481
00:37:55,442 --> 00:37:57,100
I just had to know that you can.

482
00:37:57,770 --> 00:37:59,120
Very nice. Very nice, indeed.

483
00:37:59,790 --> 00:38:02,749
I haven't had the chance to compliment you on your beautiful theater.

484
00:38:02,816 --> 00:38:05,185
It'll be a lot more beautiful when it's full.

485
00:38:05,251 --> 00:38:06,252
Don't worry.

486
00:38:06,319 --> 00:38:08,555
You all say that. Why should I worry?

487
00:38:08,621 --> 00:38:11,491
If your tricks don't get them in, somebody else's will.

488
00:38:11,558 --> 00:38:15,662
Maybe somebody willing to do a bullet catch or a water escape?

489
00:38:15,729 --> 00:38:17,297
Cheap thrills, Mr. Merrit.

490
00:38:17,364 --> 00:38:21,340
People hoping for an accident, likely to see one too.

491
00:38:21,101 --> 00:38:23,103
What would that do for your business?

492
00:38:23,169 --> 00:38:26,390
You got a week, John.

493
00:38:26,106 --> 00:38:29,476
Thank you, Mr. Merrit.

494
00:38:37,450 --> 00:38:38,818
Thank you.

495
00:38:40,620 --> 00:38:44,257
Uh... Sir, in the third row there.

496
00:38:44,324 --> 00:38:47,270
Please stand up and show us your handkerchief.

497
00:38:49,290 --> 00:38:50,830
This isn't mine.

498
00:38:50,897 --> 00:38:54,367
Perhaps you'd return it to the lady in the aisle of the second row.

499
00:38:54,434 --> 00:38:56,736
I believe she has yours.

500
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,747
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm making so many mistakes. I'm so nervous.

501
00:39:07,814 --> 00:39:10,830
The audience doesn't seem to be responding.

502
00:39:10,150 --> 00:39:12,385
They've seen a lot of tricks before,

503
00:39:12,452 --> 00:39:14,954
but not this next one.

504
00:39:23,997 --> 00:39:25,765
Cloth over.

505
00:39:25,832 --> 00:39:27,600
Keep your fingers crossed.

506
00:39:27,667 --> 00:39:29,936
I'll have the champagne ready.

507
00:39:44,417 --> 00:39:47,721
- You've seen this one before?
- We've seen them all before.

508
00:39:47,787 --> 00:39:49,923
I'll make it a little harder then, shall I?

509
00:39:49,989 --> 00:39:52,959
Two volunteers, please. A lady and a gentlemen.

510
00:39:53,260 --> 00:39:56,229
To hold this cage with me.

511
00:39:56,296 --> 00:39:58,264
I'll perform this feat in a manner

512
00:39:58,331 --> 00:40:02,869
never before seen by yourselves or any other audience anywhere in the world.

513
00:40:05,338 --> 00:40:07,974
Madame, place one hand on the back of the cage,

514
00:40:08,410 --> 00:40:09,576
one hand on the front.

515
00:40:09,642 --> 00:40:12,120
Sir, one hand on the bottom of the cage

516
00:40:12,780 --> 00:40:13,613
one hand on the top.

517
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,863
- I should've spotted him.
- You had a lot of plates going.

518
00:40:29,929 --> 00:40:32,980
- Don't suppose we can do this again.
- No.

519
00:40:32,165 --> 00:40:34,601
- So, what's the climax of our show?
- Show?

520
00:40:34,667 --> 00:40:37,804
- You don't have a show.
- We have a week's engagement.

521
00:40:37,871 --> 00:40:41,474
To perform magic, not butcher birds and break my customers' fingers.

522
00:40:41,541 --> 00:40:44,244
Clear out, anything here in the morning gets burned.

523
00:40:44,310 --> 00:40:46,746
- Mr. Merrit...
- It's done, John.

524
00:40:46,813 --> 00:40:49,616
I've hired a comedian. You know I hate comedians.

525
00:40:51,751 --> 00:40:54,254
Well, there's plenty of good theaters.

526
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,157
If we can come up with a new trick,

527
00:40:57,223 --> 00:41:00,460
- change the name of the act.
- The name stays.

528
00:41:02,295 --> 00:41:07,434
Right, well, then the new trick's gonna have to be irresistible then.

529
00:41:07,500 --> 00:41:09,536
I have a couple of methods to try out.

530
00:41:09,602 --> 00:41:12,839
And then we need a new angle on the presentation.

531
00:41:12,906 --> 00:41:14,741
And if you need some inspiration,

532
00:41:14,808 --> 00:41:17,977
there's a technical exposition at the Albert Hall this week.

533
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,780
Engineers, scientists, you know?

534
00:41:20,847 --> 00:41:24,150
That sort of thing captures the public's imagination.

535
00:41:41,201 --> 00:41:44,604
Mind if I join you? Tesla sends me down here during the storms.

536
00:41:44,671 --> 00:41:47,907
Perfect excuse to come join the Great Danton for a drink.

537
00:41:48,875 --> 00:41:51,277
Two of them.

538
00:41:51,344 --> 00:41:53,980
Beautiful, isn't it? God, I miss New York, though.

539
00:41:54,470 --> 00:41:56,483
- Why are you here?
- The lightning lives here.

540
00:41:56,549 --> 00:41:58,184
And not much else.

541
00:41:58,251 --> 00:41:59,786
Our work is secret.

542
00:42:00,420 --> 00:42:02,322
That a cipher?

543
00:42:04,424 --> 00:42:07,560
A rotating transposition that shifts every day of the diary.

544
00:42:07,627 --> 00:42:11,631
Simple but time-consuming to translate, even with the five-letter keyword.

545
00:42:11,698 --> 00:42:13,433
Which is?

546
00:42:13,500 --> 00:42:15,502
We magicians have a circle of trust.

547
00:42:15,568 --> 00:42:19,673
You have a circle of trust with someone whose diary you stole?

548
00:42:19,739 --> 00:42:21,508
Maybe I bought it.

549
00:42:21,574 --> 00:42:24,310
And you're hoping to find a great secret in there?

550
00:42:24,377 --> 00:42:26,680
I've already found it.

551
00:42:26,746 --> 00:42:28,148
That's why I'm here.

552
00:42:34,354 --> 00:42:36,990
Tesla built one for another magician.

553
00:42:37,570 --> 00:42:38,825
Why would you want the same thing?

554
00:42:38,892 --> 00:42:40,894
Call it a professional rivalry.

555
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:45,980
Mr. Tesla has built unusual machines for unusual people.

556
00:42:46,990 --> 00:42:49,202
- But he would never talk about it.
- I understand discretion.

557
00:42:49,269 --> 00:42:50,570
I just want the machine.

558
00:42:53,907 --> 00:42:55,575
Finish your drink.

559
00:42:56,543 --> 00:42:59,245
I want to show you something. I think you'll have

560
00:42:59,312 --> 00:43:01,548
a special appreciation for our work.

561
00:43:01,614 --> 00:43:05,850
- I thought it was a secret.
- You're a magician.

562
00:43:05,151 --> 00:43:06,886
Who's gonna believe you?

563
00:43:08,540 --> 00:43:10,256
Not long now.

564
00:43:10,323 --> 00:43:12,792
Our equipment requires a great deal of current.

565
00:43:12,859 --> 00:43:14,594
Tesla electrified the whole town

566
00:43:14,661 --> 00:43:17,731
in exchange for using the generators when we need them.

567
00:43:18,932 --> 00:43:22,135
We do our tests when the townspeople are asleep.

568
00:43:22,202 --> 00:43:24,904
Mr. Tesla doesn't want to scare anyone.

569
00:43:42,722 --> 00:43:44,758
Where are the wires?

570
00:43:46,126 --> 00:43:47,394
Exactly.

571
00:43:56,603 --> 00:43:59,305
Where's the generator?

572
00:43:59,372 --> 00:44:00,807
You saw it last week.

573
00:44:00,874 --> 00:44:03,977
- That must be ten miles from here.
- Fifteen.

574
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:08,148
And I have to ride all of them before I get to bed.

575
00:44:08,214 --> 00:44:10,917
I'll send word for you in a few days, Mr. Angier.

576
00:44:10,984 --> 00:44:15,880
Magic. Real magic.

577
00:44:15,155 --> 00:44:17,290
Now appearing, only here at London's Royal Albert Hall,

578
00:44:19,325 --> 00:44:21,628
one of the miracles of our age.

579
00:44:21,695 --> 00:44:26,299
A technological marvel. You've never seen anything like it in your lives.

580
00:44:26,366 --> 00:44:29,102
Your eyes will not believe what they're witnessing.

581
00:44:29,169 --> 00:44:32,380
The miracle of Nikola Tesla, ladies and gentlemen.

582
00:44:32,105 --> 00:44:34,607
Free, clean power. Like to know the future?

583
00:44:34,674 --> 00:44:37,744
The man who's speaking right now is going to change the world.

584
00:44:37,811 --> 00:44:42,182
Come one, come all. Immediate seating, no waiting.

585
00:44:57,297 --> 00:44:58,531
Ladies and gentlemen,

586
00:45:00,633 --> 00:45:02,469
objections have been raised...

587
00:45:02,535 --> 00:45:05,972
They should be raised. Does that look safe to you?

588
00:45:06,390 --> 00:45:08,608
Part of Thomas Edison's smear campaign

589
00:45:08,675 --> 00:45:14,381
against Mr. Tesla's superior alternating current.

590
00:45:14,447 --> 00:45:17,283
We have asked Mr. Tesla to reconsider.

591
00:45:17,350 --> 00:45:19,853
Which he will not!

592
00:45:19,919 --> 00:45:25,910
But I've been told he refuses to appear under any such restrictions.

593
00:45:25,158 --> 00:45:27,727
This thing's gonna blow.

594
00:45:29,620 --> 00:45:31,498
Ladies and gentlemen, please.

595
00:46:10,203 --> 00:46:11,338
Hey.

596
00:46:13,573 --> 00:46:16,900
Hello, Jess.

597
00:46:18,478 --> 00:46:22,282
Have you had a nice day with mommy? Huh?

598
00:46:23,216 --> 00:46:25,251
Sarah.

599
00:46:25,318 --> 00:46:28,221
- I love you.
- See, today it's true.

600
00:46:28,288 --> 00:46:30,857
- Yeah.
- Hello.

601
00:46:32,759 --> 00:46:35,128
I saw happiness.

602
00:46:35,195 --> 00:46:37,831
Happiness that should have been mine.

603
00:46:37,897 --> 00:46:39,933
But I was wrong.

604
00:46:39,999 --> 00:46:44,637
His notebook reveals that he never had the life that I envied.

605
00:46:44,704 --> 00:46:47,340
The family life that he craves one minute,

606
00:46:47,407 --> 00:46:51,711
he rails against the next, demanding freedom.

607
00:46:51,778 --> 00:46:54,781
His mind... his mind is a divided one.

608
00:46:54,848 --> 00:46:56,282
His soul is restless.

609
00:46:56,349 --> 00:46:58,485
His wife and child, tormented

610
00:46:58,551 --> 00:47:02,522
by his fickle and contradictory nature.

611
00:47:06,726 --> 00:47:09,229
So, what do you think you'll call her?

612
00:47:09,295 --> 00:47:10,663
I don't know.

613
00:47:10,730 --> 00:47:13,330
Everybody needs a name, so, what's hers?

614
00:47:13,933 --> 00:47:15,735
Maybe Sarah.

615
00:47:18,104 --> 00:47:20,507
That's a lovely name. That's a lovely name.

616
00:47:20,573 --> 00:47:23,810
Well, you talk about what you want to do for the rest of the day.

617
00:47:23,877 --> 00:47:25,745
All right, go on, you talk with her.

618
00:47:28,181 --> 00:47:32,452
Are they taking her away?

619
00:47:32,519 --> 00:47:34,421
To the workhouse?

620
00:47:37,257 --> 00:47:38,758
You keep talking.

621
00:47:41,461 --> 00:47:43,863
Tell Owens I've reconsidered. Take it.

622
00:47:43,930 --> 00:47:45,732
Go on, take it.

623
00:47:49,302 --> 00:47:51,438
It's for the best.

624
00:47:56,242 --> 00:47:58,845
Let me see.

625
00:47:58,912 --> 00:48:01,548
I'm gonna learn all the professor's secrets.

626
00:48:01,614 --> 00:48:05,510
Only if I teach you how to read.

627
00:48:05,118 --> 00:48:07,487
They're just stupid tricks, right?

628
00:48:07,554 --> 00:48:10,790
Haven't helped you get out of here, have they?

629
00:48:10,857 --> 00:48:14,194
Or can't you undo real locks, professor?

630
00:48:15,562 --> 00:48:18,231
Maybe I'm just biding my time.

631
00:48:18,298 --> 00:48:20,800
Maybe one day I'll...

632
00:48:20,867 --> 00:48:23,503
...open my hand, get your attention,

633
00:48:23,570 --> 00:48:26,473
ask, "Are you watching closely?"

634
00:48:26,539 --> 00:48:28,641
Maybe a magic whirl or two.

635
00:48:31,244 --> 00:48:33,790
And then I'll be gone.

636
00:48:36,683 --> 00:48:39,753
How'd you get so famous then?

637
00:48:40,653 --> 00:48:42,389
Magic.

638
00:48:44,858 --> 00:48:47,727
Oi! Borden, get back here!

639
00:48:47,794 --> 00:48:49,362
Thank you.

640
00:48:49,429 --> 00:48:51,398
Shut up!

641
00:48:54,701 --> 00:48:56,803
Where's the bloody key?!

642
00:49:03,410 --> 00:49:05,879
February 8,1899.

643
00:49:05,945 --> 00:49:08,810
Today, finally, a breakthrough.

644
00:49:08,148 --> 00:49:10,884
Tesla's agreed to see me.

645
00:49:18,625 --> 00:49:19,793
Perfectly safe.

646
00:49:41,314 --> 00:49:45,850
So this is the Great Danton.

647
00:49:45,151 --> 00:49:49,756
Mr. Alley has effused about your act to me on any number of occasions.

648
00:49:51,591 --> 00:49:53,159
Hold out other hand.

649
00:50:01,735 --> 00:50:05,538
- What's conducting the electricity?
- Our bodies, Mr. Angier.

650
00:50:05,605 --> 00:50:09,809
Quite capable of conducting and, indeed, producing energy.

651
00:50:11,344 --> 00:50:13,413
Have you eaten, Mr. Angier?

652
00:50:15,315 --> 00:50:18,485
I need something impossible.

653
00:50:20,253 --> 00:50:25,250
You're familiar with the phrase, "Man's reach exceeds his grasp"?

654
00:50:25,910 --> 00:50:26,793
Is a lie.

655
00:50:26,860 --> 00:50:28,895
Man's grasp exceeds his nerve.

656
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:32,966
Society only tolerates one change at a time.

657
00:50:34,434 --> 00:50:37,704
First time I tried to change the world,

658
00:50:37,771 --> 00:50:39,539
I was hailed as a visionary.

659
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:42,175
Second time...

660
00:50:42,242 --> 00:50:45,278
...I was asked politely to retire.

661
00:50:46,413 --> 00:50:49,949
So here I am, enjoying my retirement.

662
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:53,887
Nothing is impossible, Mr. Angier. What you want is simply expensive.

663
00:50:53,953 --> 00:50:56,189
If I were to build for you this machine,

664
00:50:56,256 --> 00:50:59,325
you would be presenting it merely as illusion?

665
00:50:59,392 --> 00:51:02,729
Well, if people actually believed the things I did on stage,

666
00:51:02,796 --> 00:51:05,198
they wouldn't clap, they'd scream.

667
00:51:05,265 --> 00:51:07,267
Think of sawing a woman in half.

668
00:51:07,333 --> 00:51:09,669
Have you considered the cost of this?

669
00:51:09,736 --> 00:51:11,671
Price is not an object.

670
00:51:11,738 --> 00:51:15,709
Perhaps not, but have you considered the cost?

671
00:51:16,676 --> 00:51:18,110
I'm not sure I follow.

672
00:51:19,790 --> 00:51:20,914
Go home, forget this thing.

673
00:51:20,980 --> 00:51:23,183
I can recognize an obsession.

674
00:51:23,249 --> 00:51:27,287
- No good will come of it.
- Hasn't good come of your obsessions?

675
00:51:27,354 --> 00:51:30,590
At first, but I have followed them too long.

676
00:51:30,657 --> 00:51:32,592
I am their slave.

677
00:51:32,659 --> 00:51:35,762
And one day, they will choose to destroy me.

678
00:51:37,564 --> 00:51:42,100
If you understand an obsession, then you know you won't change my mind.

679
00:51:42,936 --> 00:51:43,937
So be it.

680
00:51:45,438 --> 00:51:46,773
Will you build it?

681
00:51:47,741 --> 00:51:51,311
I've already begun to build it, Mr. Angier.

682
00:51:51,378 --> 00:51:55,382
I hope you enjoy the mountain air. This will take some time.

683
00:52:19,305 --> 00:52:22,800
Uh... I thought you'd gone.

684
00:52:23,143 --> 00:52:25,612
I don't really have anywhere to go.

685
00:52:27,580 --> 00:52:29,482
You've been sleeping here?

686
00:52:29,549 --> 00:52:34,287
Cutter said it'd be all right till we get another booking. What are you doing?

687
00:52:34,354 --> 00:52:36,589
Uh... research.

688
00:52:36,656 --> 00:52:38,910
Part of a magician's job

689
00:52:38,158 --> 00:52:41,270
is to... watch his competition, see what illusions...

690
00:52:41,940 --> 00:52:44,300
You're going to do something to that man, aren't you?

691
00:52:44,970 --> 00:52:45,965
Cutter's hoping you let things lie.

692
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:48,902
He says if Borden thinks things are even between you...

693
00:52:48,968 --> 00:52:50,804
Even?

694
00:52:50,870 --> 00:52:53,440
My wife for a couple of his fingers?

695
00:52:53,506 --> 00:52:56,609
He has a family now and he's performing again.

696
00:52:56,676 --> 00:52:59,512
Borden is out there living his life just as he intended,

697
00:52:59,579 --> 00:53:02,282
as if nothing had happened and look at me.

698
00:53:02,349 --> 00:53:04,851
I'm alone and no theater will touch me.

699
00:53:04,918 --> 00:53:06,519
Us.

700
00:53:06,586 --> 00:53:08,955
You're going to need a better disguise.

701
00:53:26,473 --> 00:53:28,675
I need a volunteer.

702
00:53:28,742 --> 00:53:30,210
What happened?

703
00:53:31,211 --> 00:53:33,460
Did you hurt him?

704
00:53:34,948 --> 00:53:36,249
What happened, Robert?

705
00:53:38,651 --> 00:53:42,622
You, sir. Just a rubber ball, yes?

706
00:53:42,689 --> 00:53:43,790
Thank you.

707
00:53:43,857 --> 00:53:46,459
Just a rubber ball? No.

708
00:53:46,526 --> 00:53:49,729
Not normal. Not a normal rubber ball.

709
00:53:49,796 --> 00:53:50,930
It's magic.

710
00:53:51,731 --> 00:53:53,800
He had a new trick.

711
00:54:07,814 --> 00:54:09,382
Was it good?

712
00:54:12,852 --> 00:54:17,724
It was the greatest magic trick I've ever seen.

713
00:54:21,628 --> 00:54:22,862
Did they applaud when you saw it?

714
00:54:23,830 --> 00:54:27,701
It was too good. It was too simple. The audience hardly had time to see it.

715
00:54:27,767 --> 00:54:30,637
- He's a dreadful magician.
- A wonderful magician.

716
00:54:30,704 --> 00:54:33,239
He's a dreadful showman. He doesn't dress it up,

717
00:54:33,306 --> 00:54:35,141
- how to sell it.
- How does he do it?

718
00:54:35,208 --> 00:54:37,243
- He uses a double.
- No, it's too simple.

719
00:54:37,310 --> 00:54:38,812
This is a complex illusion.

720
00:54:38,878 --> 00:54:41,281
You say that because you don't know the method.

721
00:54:41,348 --> 00:54:43,750
It's a double that comes out. It's the only way.

722
00:54:43,817 --> 00:54:47,721
I've seen him perform it three times. The prestige is the same man.

723
00:54:47,787 --> 00:54:51,324
- No, it's not.
- The same man comes out of the cabinet.

724
00:54:51,391 --> 00:54:53,660
It's the same man.

725
00:54:53,727 --> 00:54:56,429
He wears padded gloves to hide his damaged fingers,

726
00:54:56,496 --> 00:54:59,990
but, if you look closely, you can tell.

727
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:03,670
He doesn't know how to sell it to an audience, but I do.

728
00:55:03,737 --> 00:55:06,172
Yeah, we could use it as a climax to the show.

729
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:08,641
Yes.

730
00:55:08,708 --> 00:55:11,911
The man stole my life, I'm gonna steal his trick.

731
00:55:11,978 --> 00:55:14,147
We got to find someone who looks like you.

732
00:55:14,214 --> 00:55:17,751
- He doesn't use a double.
- I don't know how Borden does it.

733
00:55:17,817 --> 00:55:22,322
Either... You either wait for him to retire and buy the secret,

734
00:55:22,389 --> 00:55:24,190
or you listen to how I would do it.

735
00:55:24,257 --> 00:55:26,793
And the only way that I know how to do it

736
00:55:26,860 --> 00:55:29,329
is to find you a bloody good double.

737
00:55:30,330 --> 00:55:31,731
All right.

738
00:55:33,166 --> 00:55:35,668
Take a good look. Let's get out there and find me.

739
00:55:35,735 --> 00:55:37,871
Whoo!

740
00:55:37,937 --> 00:55:39,439
Look, look.

741
00:55:43,977 --> 00:55:45,512
What's that?

742
00:55:48,848 --> 00:55:51,151
- It's for you.
- What's this for?

743
00:55:51,785 --> 00:55:53,620
Come.

744
00:55:55,855 --> 00:55:58,525
You...

745
00:55:58,591 --> 00:56:02,629
- I asked you last week...
- You caught me in a wrong mood.

746
00:56:02,696 --> 00:56:04,898
- But you won't ever...
- Sarah,

747
00:56:04,964 --> 00:56:08,134
I'm gonna have to change my mind, aren't I?

748
00:56:08,201 --> 00:56:12,872
The act is taking off. Soon we'll be in a bigger theater, things will work out.

749
00:56:15,442 --> 00:56:19,245
I can't believe it. Thank you. Thank you. It's beautiful.

750
00:56:25,885 --> 00:56:28,988
- Gerry?
- Darling, look at you.

751
00:56:29,550 --> 00:56:32,250
Mr. Cutter, Mr. Angier, I'd like you to meet Gerald Root.

752
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:34,260
Mm-hm.

753
00:56:37,970 --> 00:56:41,340
A pleasure. Pleasure to meet you fine gentlemen.

754
00:56:41,101 --> 00:56:44,838
Would you like for me to tell you a little joke? Come here.

755
00:56:47,874 --> 00:56:50,977
Yes. Are you laughing now?

756
00:56:54,414 --> 00:56:56,490
I have to take a piss.

757
00:56:57,450 --> 00:57:00,553
- He's out of his mind.
- Of course, he's an out-of-work actor.

758
00:57:00,620 --> 00:57:02,522
He's perfect. He needs a little help.

759
00:57:02,589 --> 00:57:05,558
But when I get done with him, he could be your brother.

760
00:57:05,625 --> 00:57:08,228
I don't need him to be my brother, I need him to be me.

761
00:57:08,294 --> 00:57:09,996
Give me a month.

762
00:57:16,770 --> 00:57:19,406
So you open the door...

763
00:57:19,472 --> 00:57:20,940
...and...

764
00:57:28,314 --> 00:57:30,830
Come on.

765
00:57:33,787 --> 00:57:35,722
Couldn't you have found a softer one?

766
00:57:35,789 --> 00:57:38,124
Well, it's not for sleeping on.

767
00:57:38,191 --> 00:57:40,260
So, if you come down through there...

768
00:57:42,929 --> 00:57:45,965
- ...does Root go up through there?
- Yep.

769
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:48,101
It's going to be amazing.

770
00:57:48,168 --> 00:57:51,638
Well, it has to be. Borden's trick is getting noticed.

771
00:57:54,474 --> 00:57:56,843
The place was packed today.

772
00:57:58,445 --> 00:58:00,246
You went and saw his show again.

773
00:58:00,313 --> 00:58:02,749
Ready to meet yourself, Mr. Angier?

774
00:58:11,124 --> 00:58:13,460
All I have to do is keep myself stinking drunk,

775
00:58:13,526 --> 00:58:15,862
and no one will be able to tell the difference.

776
00:58:15,929 --> 00:58:18,310
Have a little faith, sir.

777
00:58:18,980 --> 00:58:22,100
Now, would you favor us with a performance, Mr. Root?

778
00:58:41,855 --> 00:58:46,926
You'd drink, too, if you knew the world half as well as I do.

779
00:58:50,630 --> 00:58:52,332
Did you think you were unique?

780
00:58:52,399 --> 00:58:55,101
I've been Caesar, I've played Faust.

781
00:58:55,168 --> 00:58:58,271
How difficult could it possibly be to play the Great Danton?

782
00:58:58,338 --> 00:59:01,474
You can go back to being yourself now, Root, for nothing.

783
00:59:01,541 --> 00:59:03,810
I'd rather be him for now.

784
00:59:03,877 --> 00:59:06,646
I find it, uh... amusing.

785
00:59:10,830 --> 00:59:11,818
"My liege,

786
00:59:11,885 --> 00:59:15,221
I did deny no prisoners."

787
00:59:15,288 --> 00:59:17,457
- You look wonderful.
- Oh, thank you.

788
00:59:17,524 --> 00:59:20,794
Root has to keep a low profile. Anyone sees him, the game's up.

789
00:59:20,860 --> 00:59:23,663
I don't know how you do things. I'm not sure I wanna know.

790
00:59:23,730 --> 00:59:26,660
Have you thought what we should call it?

791
00:59:26,132 --> 00:59:30,303
There's no point being coy. Borden calls his trick The Transported Man.

792
00:59:34,207 --> 00:59:37,377
Ladies and gentlemen, much of what you've seen may be termed

793
00:59:37,444 --> 00:59:41,214
as illusions or entertaining trifles.

794
00:59:45,885 --> 00:59:46,953
Alas...

795
00:59:49,122 --> 00:59:51,658
...I cannot claim this next feat as illusion.

796
00:59:52,559 --> 00:59:53,760
Watch carefully.

797
00:59:55,195 --> 00:59:57,630
You will see no trickery,

798
00:59:57,697 --> 01:00:00,800
for no trickery is employed.

799
01:00:00,867 --> 01:00:04,237
Merely a technique familiar to certain citizens of the Orient

800
01:00:04,304 --> 01:00:06,473
and various holy men of the Himalayas.

801
01:00:09,743 --> 01:00:12,779
Indeed, many of you may be familiar with this technique,

802
01:00:12,846 --> 01:00:16,160
but for those of you who are not, do not be alarmed.

803
01:00:16,820 --> 01:00:19,152
What you're about to see is considered safe.

804
01:00:50,717 --> 01:00:53,787
To our achievement.

805
01:00:53,853 --> 01:00:56,623
The manager says he's never seen a reaction like it.

806
01:00:56,690 --> 01:00:59,993
At least he saw it. I spent the ovation hiding under the stage.

807
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:02,395
No one cares about the man who disappears.

808
01:01:02,462 --> 01:01:04,464
They care about the one who comes out.

809
01:01:04,531 --> 01:01:06,599
I care about the man in the box.

810
01:01:06,666 --> 01:01:10,970
Thank you. I don't know, maybe we could switch before the trick.

811
01:01:11,370 --> 01:01:13,206
I'm the prestige, and Root's below stage.

812
01:01:13,273 --> 01:01:16,209
No, the anticipation of the trick is everything.

813
01:01:16,276 --> 01:01:19,346
We need your showmanship to build up the suspense.

814
01:01:19,412 --> 01:01:22,982
Once Root opens his mouth, it's over. He can't introduce this trick.

815
01:01:23,490 --> 01:01:25,785
Of course I can. I'm the Great Danton.

816
01:01:25,852 --> 01:01:29,456
Root, you bloody fool, get out of that wardrobe and makeup.

817
01:01:29,522 --> 01:01:32,192
Anyone could walk in here at any minute.

818
01:01:32,258 --> 01:01:34,327
Congratulations, all.

819
01:01:34,394 --> 01:01:38,980
Life is not full of these moments. We worked hard.

820
01:01:38,164 --> 01:01:39,833
We need to celebrate properly.

821
01:01:43,570 --> 01:01:46,390
What's wrong? Is it your wife?

822
01:01:46,106 --> 01:01:48,408
No, it's the trick. It isn't good enough.

823
01:01:48,475 --> 01:01:51,811
Borden's trick is nothing compared to ours. He has no style.

824
01:01:51,878 --> 01:01:55,749
He doesn't spend the finale hiding under the stage.

825
01:01:55,815 --> 01:01:58,718
- I need to know how he does it.
- Why?

826
01:01:58,785 --> 01:02:01,287
So I can do it better.

827
01:02:03,356 --> 01:02:05,825
I need you to go and work for him.

828
01:02:08,862 --> 01:02:10,597
Work for him? Are you joking?

829
01:02:11,865 --> 01:02:13,660
You'll be my spy.

830
01:02:13,133 --> 01:02:15,335
We just got our start. You want me to leave?

831
01:02:15,402 --> 01:02:17,504
That's how we advance. Think of it.

832
01:02:17,570 --> 01:02:20,774
People are excited by Cutter's version. Imagine what we'd do

833
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:25,278
with the real illusion. We'd have the greatest magic act anyone's ever seen.

834
01:02:25,345 --> 01:02:29,115
- He knows I work for you.
- Exactly why he'll want to hire you.

835
01:02:29,182 --> 01:02:31,751
- He'll want my secret.
- Why would he trust me?

836
01:02:31,818 --> 01:02:34,521
Because you're gonna tell him the truth.

837
01:02:37,424 --> 01:02:39,259
Hmm?

838
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:47,934
Good girl.

839
01:02:51,104 --> 01:02:54,641
You must be curious to see what so much money has bought you.

840
01:02:55,308 --> 01:02:58,211
Fitting you should be here for her maiden voyage.

841
01:02:58,278 --> 01:03:00,113
Your hat.

842
01:03:08,540 --> 01:03:10,657
You might want to stand back.

843
01:03:31,111 --> 01:03:32,245
I don't understand.

844
01:03:32,312 --> 01:03:34,647
Perhaps it would be best if you left us to it.

845
01:03:34,714 --> 01:03:36,349
Is there a problem, Mr. Tesla?

846
01:03:36,416 --> 01:03:38,451
- No. Come back next week.
- Next week?

847
01:03:38,518 --> 01:03:41,870
- Next week, it will be fine.
- Tesla!

848
01:03:41,154 --> 01:03:42,889
Just a little temperamental.

849
01:03:48,728 --> 01:03:51,631
- Interesting workshop.
- Yeah, we make do.

850
01:03:51,698 --> 01:03:53,867
- My name is Olivia...
- I know who you are.

851
01:03:53,933 --> 01:03:55,602
Here to steal the rest of my show?

852
01:03:55,668 --> 01:03:57,570
To give your show what it's missing.

853
01:03:57,637 --> 01:04:00,874
- Yeah, what might that be?
- Me.

854
01:04:00,940 --> 01:04:05,412
I was just saying that, wasn't I?

855
01:04:05,478 --> 01:04:07,781
- A woman's touch.
- I've left Angier.

856
01:04:07,847 --> 01:04:09,916
- All right.
- I want a job.

857
01:04:09,983 --> 01:04:11,317
Yeah.

858
01:04:11,384 --> 01:04:13,219
I know you've no reason to trust me.

859
01:04:13,286 --> 01:04:14,854
Why wouldn't I trust you?

860
01:04:14,921 --> 01:04:18,358
You're only the mistress of my enemy. Why wouldn't I trust you?

861
01:04:20,260 --> 01:04:21,961
- Mr. Borden.
- Alfred.

862
01:04:24,397 --> 01:04:26,660
I'm going to tell you the truth.

863
01:04:26,132 --> 01:04:28,368
Now that is a slippery notion

864
01:04:28,435 --> 01:04:30,770
in our line of work, isn't it, Miss Wenscombe?

865
01:04:32,872 --> 01:04:35,542
I am here because he sent me here.

866
01:04:35,608 --> 01:04:38,780
He wants me to work for you and steal your secret.

867
01:04:38,144 --> 01:04:41,514
What does he need my secret for? His trick is topnotch.

868
01:04:41,581 --> 01:04:44,184
He vanishes, and then he reappears instantly

869
01:04:44,250 --> 01:04:46,753
on the other side of the stage, mute, overweight

870
01:04:46,820 --> 01:04:49,389
and, unless I'm mistaken, very drunk.

871
01:04:49,456 --> 01:04:52,959
It's astonishing. How does he do it? And tell me, Olivia,

872
01:04:53,260 --> 01:04:56,496
does he enjoy taking his bows under the stage?

873
01:04:56,563 --> 01:04:59,866
It's killing him. He's obsessed with discovering your methods.

874
01:04:59,933 --> 01:05:03,200
He thinks of nothing else, takes no pleasure in our success.

875
01:05:03,690 --> 01:05:04,571
And I've had enough.

876
01:05:04,637 --> 01:05:07,400
There is no future with him.

877
01:05:08,174 --> 01:05:11,911
He sent me here to steal your secrets, but I've come to offer you his.

878
01:05:11,978 --> 01:05:15,882
This is the truth... is it?

879
01:05:20,420 --> 01:05:22,722
Think you'd better get dressed, sir.

880
01:05:22,789 --> 01:05:26,826
Root, you're late and more drunk than usual. Get down below stairs right away.

881
01:05:26,893 --> 01:05:28,628
No.

882
01:05:28,695 --> 01:05:32,650
No, we need to have a little chat, Mr. Cutter.

883
01:05:32,132 --> 01:05:36,469
We have a problem. Cutter, Borden is performing right across the street.

884
01:05:36,536 --> 01:05:39,806
Yeah, we have a bigger problem.

885
01:05:39,873 --> 01:05:42,876
Root. He's realized that he can make demands.

886
01:05:42,942 --> 01:05:45,450
Wha...? He's blackmailing us?

887
01:05:45,111 --> 01:05:47,800
I was surprised, to tell you the truth.

888
01:05:47,147 --> 01:05:49,749
It usually takes them a lot longer to figure it out.

889
01:05:49,816 --> 01:05:52,385
- How much does he want?
- It makes no difference.

890
01:05:52,452 --> 01:05:55,922
- We've got to stop doing the trick.
- Stop the trick? Look at this.

891
01:05:55,989 --> 01:06:01,828
Last week they said you were the premier stage performer in London.

892
01:06:01,895 --> 01:06:05,265
Not magician, mind you. Performer of any kind.

893
01:06:05,331 --> 01:06:08,568
- What's your point?
- My point is, you've climbed too high

894
01:06:08,635 --> 01:06:11,710
to get away with professional embarrassment.

895
01:06:11,137 --> 01:06:14,507
We don't do any tricks we can't control.

896
01:06:16,676 --> 01:06:19,979
Just pay him for now. We keep doing the trick until Borden opens,

897
01:06:20,460 --> 01:06:22,150
and then we'll phase it out.

898
01:06:22,916 --> 01:06:24,417
All right.

899
01:06:27,187 --> 01:06:29,322
Cutter was always surprised

900
01:06:29,389 --> 01:06:31,291
how fast Root turned bad.

901
01:06:31,358 --> 01:06:35,929
To what do I owe the pleasure of this rather welcome pint of ale?

902
01:06:35,995 --> 01:06:39,132
- You're the Great Danton, aren't you?
- Sh, sh, sh, sh, sh.

903
01:06:39,199 --> 01:06:42,869
Of course I am, but don't advertise it, because I'll be mobbed with fans.

904
01:06:42,936 --> 01:06:45,372
We paid him enough to keep him in beers.

905
01:06:45,438 --> 01:06:47,540
You wouldn't expect him to rock the boat.

906
01:06:47,607 --> 01:06:50,210
Many of you may be familiar with this technique,

907
01:06:50,276 --> 01:06:53,780
but for those of you who aren't, do not be alarmed.

908
01:06:53,847 --> 01:06:57,170
What you're about to see is considered safe.

909
01:06:57,830 --> 01:07:00,720
- And who are you?
- I am a humble admirer

910
01:07:00,787 --> 01:07:03,390
and a fellow practitioner.

911
01:07:03,456 --> 01:07:05,825
Mmm. Very good.

912
01:07:15,201 --> 01:07:18,380
- Another one?
- Oh, if you insist.

913
01:07:18,104 --> 01:07:20,840
- Another.
- I'm not performing tonight.

914
01:07:20,907 --> 01:07:22,942
I'm only doing one show, but to be frank,

915
01:07:23,900 --> 01:07:25,345
my people pretty much run things these days.

916
01:07:25,412 --> 01:07:26,613
Get up there.

917
01:07:27,981 --> 01:07:29,490
Get up!

918
01:07:29,115 --> 01:07:31,885
Your illusion, The Transported Man,

919
01:07:31,951 --> 01:07:34,554
I'm not claiming to know your methods,

920
01:07:34,621 --> 01:07:38,825
but I had a similar trick in my act,

921
01:07:38,892 --> 01:07:41,728
and, uh...I used a double.

922
01:07:41,795 --> 01:07:47,000
- Mm, I see, very good.
- Well, it was, and then it went bad.

923
01:07:47,670 --> 01:07:50,470
What I didn't count on was that when I incorporated this bloke

924
01:07:50,537 --> 01:07:52,639
into my act,

925
01:07:52,706 --> 01:07:54,708
he had complete power over me.

926
01:07:55,842 --> 01:07:57,477
Complete power, you say?

927
01:08:13,460 --> 01:08:14,894
Ohh!

928
01:08:14,961 --> 01:08:20,233
Be very careful giving someone that power over you.

929
01:08:20,300 --> 01:08:24,637
Huh. Thank you. Um...

930
01:08:24,704 --> 01:08:27,574
Yes, thank you for the warning.

931
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:30,343
Hmm. Cheers.

932
01:08:31,778 --> 01:08:33,913
I cannot claim this next feat as illusion.

933
01:08:33,980 --> 01:08:37,350
What you're about to see is considered safe.

934
01:08:41,654 --> 01:08:43,356
Ahh!

935
01:09:15,588 --> 01:09:20,560
Oh! The Great Danton.

936
01:09:26,766 --> 01:09:28,635
I apologize.

937
01:09:28,702 --> 01:09:32,472
There simply is too much magic...

938
01:09:32,539 --> 01:09:35,308
...for my stage at The Pantages

939
01:09:35,375 --> 01:09:37,544
across the street.

940
01:09:41,581 --> 01:09:44,517
Pardon my intrusion.

941
01:09:46,586 --> 01:09:50,990
And go easy on the poor chap. He does try so very hard.

942
01:09:53,860 --> 01:09:56,296
I don't know how Borden found him.

943
01:09:56,363 --> 01:09:58,264
Kept him under wraps. I was careful.

944
01:09:58,331 --> 01:09:59,999
Yeah, well, he did.

945
01:10:01,167 --> 01:10:03,169
Do you think it was her?

946
01:10:09,409 --> 01:10:12,379
You weren't expecting me?

947
01:10:12,445 --> 01:10:15,181
I expected you sooner. Your message said afternoon.

948
01:10:15,248 --> 01:10:17,517
It takes a bit for me to get around these days.

949
01:10:17,584 --> 01:10:21,654
He's taken everything from me. My wife, my career,

950
01:10:21,721 --> 01:10:23,590
- now you.
- You sent me.

951
01:10:23,656 --> 01:10:26,726
I sent you to steal his secret, not to improve his act.

952
01:10:26,793 --> 01:10:28,361
- It's my job.
- Or fall in love!

953
01:10:28,428 --> 01:10:31,197
- I did everything you asked!
- Yes? Yes?

954
01:10:31,264 --> 01:10:32,866
- How does he do it?
- Cutter was right, a double.

955
01:10:33,833 --> 01:10:36,690
-'Course he said that.
- He didn't say it.

956
01:10:36,136 --> 01:10:39,572
I've seen things, makeup, glasses, wigs. We don't use for the show.

957
01:10:39,639 --> 01:10:42,375
- I've seen it hidden backstage.
- Misdirection.

958
01:10:42,442 --> 01:10:45,145
He leaves them lying around to make you think that.

959
01:10:45,211 --> 01:10:47,800
He doesn't know when I'm looking.

960
01:10:47,147 --> 01:10:50,383
All the time, Olivia! That's who he is!

961
01:10:50,450 --> 01:10:51,718
That's what it takes!

962
01:10:51,785 --> 01:10:54,220
He lives his act, don't you see?

963
01:10:56,256 --> 01:10:59,626
Just because you're sleeping with him doesn't mean he trusts you.

964
01:10:59,693 --> 01:11:02,950
You think you can see everything, don't you?

965
01:11:02,162 --> 01:11:04,998
The Great Danton is a blind fool.

966
01:11:05,650 --> 01:11:06,466
His notebook.

967
01:11:07,834 --> 01:11:10,103
You stole it?

968
01:11:10,170 --> 01:11:11,971
I borrowed it for tonight.

969
01:11:12,380 --> 01:11:14,240
I thought you could translate some of it...

970
01:11:14,307 --> 01:11:18,378
I can't. No one can. It's a cipher.

971
01:11:18,445 --> 01:11:21,881
Even with the keyword, it will take months to decode.

972
01:11:21,948 --> 01:11:24,851
- And without the keyword?
- Perhaps never.

973
01:11:24,918 --> 01:11:26,553
- We'll see.
- We will not see.

974
01:11:26,619 --> 01:11:29,556
If I don't get that back by tomorrow he'll know I took it.

975
01:11:29,622 --> 01:11:31,925
- Leave him.
- I can't. He knows where I live.

976
01:11:33,259 --> 01:11:38,640
This is his diary, Olivia. All of his secrets are right here in my hands.

977
01:11:38,732 --> 01:11:40,333
It won't bring your wife back.

978
01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:43,103
I don't care about my wife. I care about his secret.

979
01:11:56,349 --> 01:11:59,850
Look, I'll, um...

980
01:11:59,152 --> 01:12:01,488
I'll go to his workshop and stage a break-in.

981
01:12:01,554 --> 01:12:04,758
- He'll know you took it.
- Yes, me. Not you.

982
01:12:05,859 --> 01:12:07,861
Understand?

983
01:12:16,302 --> 01:12:17,303
Robert.

984
01:12:19,706 --> 01:12:22,509
I have fallen in love with him.

985
01:12:23,410 --> 01:12:25,879
Then I know how hard this has been for you.

986
01:12:34,421 --> 01:12:35,922
Notebook?

987
01:12:38,558 --> 01:12:40,560
Then he's just getting started.

988
01:13:09,789 --> 01:13:11,257
Professor!

989
01:13:11,324 --> 01:13:12,826
Good evening.

990
01:13:17,697 --> 01:13:19,332
I'm walking tonight.

991
01:13:19,399 --> 01:13:21,968
Let him come. I don't care.

992
01:13:22,350 --> 01:13:24,738
Professor! Professor!

993
01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:48,555
Ahh!

994
01:14:48,621 --> 01:14:51,191
- You all right?
- I'm alive.

995
01:14:51,257 --> 01:14:53,360
Saves me cutting you an air hole.

996
01:15:07,440 --> 01:15:10,100
- I'm impressed.
- Why is that?

997
01:15:10,760 --> 01:15:13,460
You're finally getting your hands dirty.

998
01:15:13,113 --> 01:15:16,160
It's what a good trick costs, Angier.

999
01:15:16,820 --> 01:15:18,885
Risk, sacrifice.

1000
01:15:18,952 --> 01:15:21,454
The sacrifice, I'm afraid, is all gonna be yours,

1001
01:15:21,521 --> 01:15:23,156
unless you give me what I want.

1002
01:15:24,524 --> 01:15:26,659
- Which is?
- Your secret.

1003
01:15:26,726 --> 01:15:28,128
My secret?

1004
01:15:28,194 --> 01:15:31,331
Your method for The Transported Man.

1005
01:15:31,398 --> 01:15:34,234
Fallon wouldn't tell me. He doesn't talk at all.

1006
01:15:34,300 --> 01:15:37,804
- You have my notebook.
- Useless without the keyword.

1007
01:15:39,272 --> 01:15:42,842
Write down your method, Mr. Borden, describe it in full.

1008
01:15:55,955 --> 01:15:58,324
I want the whole method, not the keyword.

1009
01:15:58,391 --> 01:16:00,794
I don't know if your secret's in your notebook.

1010
01:16:00,860 --> 01:16:03,329
The keyword is the method.

1011
01:16:07,333 --> 01:16:08,635
Where's my ingénieur?

1012
01:16:15,775 --> 01:16:18,411
- Alive?
- How fast can you dig?

1013
01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:23,917
Fallon, you hear me? Fallon!

1014
01:16:25,218 --> 01:16:27,887
- How's the arm?
- Still attached.

1015
01:16:29,322 --> 01:16:30,890
Did you find your answer?

1016
01:16:30,957 --> 01:16:34,728
Our answer, Cutter. I haven't looked yet. I wanted you to share this.

1017
01:16:34,794 --> 01:16:37,230
I already know how he does it, Robert.

1018
01:16:37,297 --> 01:16:40,400
Same way he always has, the same way as we do.

1019
01:16:40,467 --> 01:16:42,936
It's just that you want something more.

1020
01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:45,772
Well, let's find out then, shall we?

1021
01:16:50,760 --> 01:16:51,511
What does it mean?

1022
01:16:59,352 --> 01:17:01,821
It means, Cutter, we have a journey ahead of us.

1023
01:17:01,888 --> 01:17:03,857
- To America.
- Robert?

1024
01:17:04,824 --> 01:17:07,794
Listen to me.

1025
01:17:07,861 --> 01:17:11,331
Obsession is a young man's game.

1026
01:17:11,398 --> 01:17:12,932
Come on.

1027
01:17:12,999 --> 01:17:15,468
I can't follow you any further in it.

1028
01:17:16,536 --> 01:17:18,471
I can't, I'm sorry.

1029
01:17:22,575 --> 01:17:24,277
Then the rest is up to me.

1030
01:17:26,346 --> 01:17:27,881
I'm sorry.

1031
01:17:33,186 --> 01:17:36,790
Good evening. Hello, darling.

1032
01:17:36,856 --> 01:17:38,358
Champagne, your finest.

1033
01:17:38,425 --> 01:17:41,127
I didn't know we were going to be joined for dinner.

1034
01:17:41,194 --> 01:17:43,496
Absolutely, we are celebrating.

1035
01:17:43,563 --> 01:17:45,265
Miss Wenscombe, Mr. Fallon.

1036
01:17:46,266 --> 01:17:49,135
- What are we celebrating?
- We've hit upon a new trick.

1037
01:17:49,202 --> 01:17:51,271
- Haven't we?
- What trick, Freddie?

1038
01:17:51,338 --> 01:17:53,373
Yes, Freddie, what trick?

1039
01:17:53,440 --> 01:17:57,844
I am going to bury myself alive every night,

1040
01:17:57,911 --> 01:18:01,781
and then someone will come along and dig me up. Wonderful.

1041
01:18:01,848 --> 01:18:04,951
- I think he's had quite enough...
- No, pour the champagne.

1042
01:18:05,180 --> 01:18:08,722
Pour the... Sarah, don't talk to me like that. I'm not a bloody child.

1043
01:18:08,788 --> 01:18:11,991
- Perhaps it would be better...
- Mr. Fallon, escort her home.

1044
01:18:12,580 --> 01:18:14,894
- My husband's being a bore.
- Oh, please.

1045
01:18:14,961 --> 01:18:18,765
- I see no reason you should suffer.
- Don't ruin this evening.

1046
01:18:21,167 --> 01:18:24,700
Good night, Mrs. Borden. Good night, Freddie.

1047
01:18:28,508 --> 01:18:30,810
- Freddie?
- That's my name.

1048
01:18:30,877 --> 01:18:34,247
- Not at home.
- I'm not always at home, am I?

1049
01:18:36,490 --> 01:18:38,718
Couldn't you have at least taken off the beard?

1050
01:18:38,785 --> 01:18:42,956
Sarah, I just came from the bloody theater just now.

1051
01:18:43,230 --> 01:18:46,920
All right? I'm out in public. Everybody else loves it.

1052
01:18:46,159 --> 01:18:48,940
Why are you being like this?

1053
01:18:48,161 --> 01:18:51,640
I had a terrible ordeal today.

1054
01:18:51,131 --> 01:18:54,901
I thought that something very precious...

1055
01:18:56,690 --> 01:18:58,400
...had been lost to me.

1056
01:18:58,710 --> 01:19:01,207
So I just wanted to celebrate just a little.

1057
01:19:01,274 --> 01:19:04,744
All right, what? What did you lose?

1058
01:19:09,883 --> 01:19:11,451
I see, more secrets.

1059
01:19:12,385 --> 01:19:15,555
Sarah, secrets are my life.

1060
01:19:17,490 --> 01:19:19,859
- Our life.
- No, Alfred, stop, this isn't you.

1061
01:19:20,827 --> 01:19:23,296
Stop performing.

1062
01:19:47,454 --> 01:19:49,956
I thought I had the place to myself.

1063
01:19:50,230 --> 01:19:53,326
Unexpected guests, not very polite.

1064
01:19:53,393 --> 01:19:55,228
A lot of questions.

1065
01:19:55,295 --> 01:19:58,980
At first, I thought they worked for the government.

1066
01:19:58,164 --> 01:20:01,835
- No?
- Worse, they work for Thomas Edison.

1067
01:20:03,803 --> 01:20:06,272
Today, a most curious development.

1068
01:20:06,373 --> 01:20:09,442
His assistant came to us with a proposition.

1069
01:20:11,770 --> 01:20:14,481
Obviously, Angier has sent her and told her to admit as much.

1070
01:20:14,547 --> 01:20:17,350
Does he enjoy taking his bows under the stage?

1071
01:20:17,417 --> 01:20:21,187
He sent me here to steal your secrets, but I've come to offer you his.

1072
01:20:21,254 --> 01:20:24,224
This is the truth...

1073
01:20:24,290 --> 01:20:25,291
...is it?

1074
01:20:33,333 --> 01:20:36,803
No, that's what he told me to tell you. The truth...

1075
01:20:36,870 --> 01:20:40,707
...is that I loved him and I stood by him and he sent me to you,

1076
01:20:40,774 --> 01:20:44,310
like he would send a stagehand to pick up his shirts.

1077
01:20:44,377 --> 01:20:47,180
I hate him for that.

1078
01:20:47,247 --> 01:20:50,483
I could spot Angier's methods from the back of the theater.

1079
01:20:52,185 --> 01:20:54,454
So, what could you possibly have to offer me?

1080
01:20:54,521 --> 01:20:56,156
You may know his tricks,

1081
01:20:56,222 --> 01:20:59,292
but you can't understand why no one sees yours are better.

1082
01:20:59,359 --> 01:21:01,928
You hide this. I had to look very closely

1083
01:21:01,995 --> 01:21:04,330
to spot it during The Transported Man,

1084
01:21:04,397 --> 01:21:07,233
but this makes you unique.

1085
01:21:07,300 --> 01:21:09,335
It shows you aren't using a double.

1086
01:21:09,402 --> 01:21:11,905
You mustn't hide it. You must display it proudly.

1087
01:21:11,971 --> 01:21:16,743
I'm sure it takes great skill to perform illusions with one good hand.

1088
01:21:16,810 --> 01:21:18,578
Yeah, it does.

1089
01:21:20,347 --> 01:21:23,516
So let people know.

1090
01:21:23,583 --> 01:21:27,870
You can be so much more than he is and I can show you how.

1091
01:21:28,788 --> 01:21:31,391
I think she's telling the truth.

1092
01:21:31,458 --> 01:21:33,593
I think we cannot trust her.

1093
01:21:37,130 --> 01:21:39,599
But I love her. I need her.

1094
01:21:45,238 --> 01:21:46,840
But how to be sure?

1095
01:21:49,420 --> 01:21:53,380
I know a way. It's the only way to know her mind.

1096
01:21:53,446 --> 01:21:55,281
How could he send you away?

1097
01:21:57,150 --> 01:22:00,253
She must help me rid ourselves of Angier.

1098
01:22:06,860 --> 01:22:09,863
Today, my mistress proves her truthfulness.

1099
01:22:09,929 --> 01:22:11,664
Not to me, you understand.

1100
01:22:11,731 --> 01:22:14,367
I've been convinced since she led me to Root.

1101
01:22:14,434 --> 01:22:17,971
Today, Olivia proves her love for me

1102
01:22:18,380 --> 01:22:20,507
to you, Angier.

1103
01:22:20,573 --> 01:22:24,978
Yes, Angier, she gave you this notebook at my request.

1104
01:22:25,450 --> 01:22:28,481
And yes, "Tesla" is merely the key to my dairy,

1105
01:22:28,548 --> 01:22:31,351
not to my trick. You really think I'd part

1106
01:22:31,418 --> 01:22:34,554
with my secret so easily after so much?

1107
01:22:34,621 --> 01:22:36,289
Goodbye, Angier.

1108
01:22:36,356 --> 01:22:38,725
May you find solace for your forward ambition

1109
01:22:38,792 --> 01:22:40,593
back in your American home.

1110
01:22:50,103 --> 01:22:51,738
Tesla!

1111
01:22:53,673 --> 01:22:56,760
Tesla! Alley!

1112
01:22:57,277 --> 01:22:58,244
Alley!

1113
01:22:58,345 --> 01:23:00,947
Tesla never made a machine like the one I asked for.

1114
01:23:01,140 --> 01:23:03,817
- I never said he had.
- You let me believe that he had.

1115
01:23:03,883 --> 01:23:06,586
You stole my money because your funding was cut off.

1116
01:23:06,653 --> 01:23:09,556
You've been shooting sparks in my top hat,

1117
01:23:09,622 --> 01:23:13,126
Iaughing at me all along, while using my money to stave off ruin.

1118
01:23:13,960 --> 01:23:16,960
- I have seen Edison's men.
- Where?

1119
01:23:16,162 --> 01:23:18,665
In the hotel, I have a mind to bring them up here.

1120
01:23:18,732 --> 01:23:21,434
That would be unwise, Mr. Angier.

1121
01:23:21,501 --> 01:23:24,637
It is true that you are our last remaining financier,

1122
01:23:24,704 --> 01:23:26,573
but we have not stolen your money.

1123
01:23:26,639 --> 01:23:28,108
This is my cat.

1124
01:23:28,174 --> 01:23:31,244
When I told you I could make you a machine, I spoke a truth.

1125
01:23:31,311 --> 01:23:32,412
Why isn't it working?

1126
01:23:32,479 --> 01:23:34,814
Because exact science, Mr. Angier,

1127
01:23:34,881 --> 01:23:36,282
is not an exact science.

1128
01:23:36,349 --> 01:23:39,519
The machine simply does not operate as expected.

1129
01:23:39,586 --> 01:23:43,623
- It requires further examination.
- So where did my top hat go?

1130
01:23:43,690 --> 01:23:44,758
Nowhere.

1131
01:23:44,824 --> 01:23:47,627
We tried the damn thing a dozen times.

1132
01:23:47,694 --> 01:23:49,329
The hat went nowhere.

1133
01:23:49,396 --> 01:23:51,297
We need to try different material.

1134
01:23:51,364 --> 01:23:53,533
It may provoke a different result.

1135
01:23:56,169 --> 01:23:57,737
Great.

1136
01:24:04,878 --> 01:24:08,848
You are responsible for whatever happens to this animal, doctor.

1137
01:24:30,370 --> 01:24:33,600
I hope whatever you were really doing with my money

1138
01:24:33,730 --> 01:24:35,508
was more worthwhile, Mr. Tesla.

1139
01:25:31,431 --> 01:25:32,432
Alley!

1140
01:25:35,502 --> 01:25:37,237
So the machine was working?

1141
01:25:37,303 --> 01:25:40,940
I never checked the calibration, 'cause the hat never moved.

1142
01:25:41,700 --> 01:25:43,877
These things never quite work as you expect them to.

1143
01:25:43,943 --> 01:25:46,446
That's one of the principal beauties of science.

1144
01:25:46,513 --> 01:25:49,983
I'll need a couple of weeks to iron out the problems with the machine.

1145
01:25:50,150 --> 01:25:52,118
We'll send word when it's ready.

1146
01:25:54,320 --> 01:25:57,290
Don't forget your hat.

1147
01:25:57,357 --> 01:26:01,940
- Well, which one is mine?
- They are all your hats.

1148
01:26:07,330 --> 01:26:10,360
You look so pretty in this new dress of yours.

1149
01:26:10,103 --> 01:26:13,940
- Are we going to the zoo?
- No, Daddy has some errands to run.

1150
01:26:14,700 --> 01:26:16,242
- But you promised.
- I promised, did I?

1151
01:26:16,309 --> 01:26:18,611
Then go to the zoo, we shall.

1152
01:26:18,678 --> 01:26:22,115
Daddy will go run his errands, and I'll be back before you know it.

1153
01:26:22,215 --> 01:26:25,952
So you go get ready. We'll go see those chimpanzees.

1154
01:26:28,955 --> 01:26:32,359
Sarah... what are you doing?

1155
01:26:36,290 --> 01:26:39,320
Each of us have our vices.

1156
01:26:42,135 --> 01:26:44,604
Sarah, whatever you may think...

1157
01:26:46,172 --> 01:26:49,809
...your only competition for my affections is our little girl.

1158
01:26:49,876 --> 01:26:52,846
I love you. I will always love you

1159
01:26:52,912 --> 01:26:54,347
and you alone.

1160
01:26:56,216 --> 01:27:00,200
- You mean it today.
- Absolutely.

1161
01:27:00,860 --> 01:27:03,923
Which makes it so much harder when you don't.

1162
01:27:13,266 --> 01:27:16,690
More shopping. She does love the smell of money.

1163
01:27:16,136 --> 01:27:20,440
The little lady wants to go to the zoo, so I thought you could take her, yeah?

1164
01:27:20,507 --> 01:27:22,876
I mean, I can do it tomorrow, if not.

1165
01:27:22,942 --> 01:27:26,246
And, uh... Sarah,

1166
01:27:26,312 --> 01:27:28,448
she knows.

1167
01:27:28,515 --> 01:27:32,686
Uh, at least she knows that something is not right,

1168
01:27:32,752 --> 01:27:35,655
so if you can just do whatever you can to help me.

1169
01:27:35,722 --> 01:27:40,293
Talk to her, just convince her that I do love her.

1170
01:27:50,937 --> 01:27:52,906
What is it, Freddie?

1171
01:27:52,972 --> 01:27:55,275
Listen, don't call me that, please.

1172
01:27:55,342 --> 01:27:59,212
It's nothing. It's just that sometimes it seems wrong.

1173
01:27:59,279 --> 01:28:01,781
I told you, when you're with me, you're with me.

1174
01:28:01,848 --> 01:28:04,884
Leave your family at home where they belong.

1175
01:28:04,951 --> 01:28:08,221
I'm trying. I'm trying, Olivia.

1176
01:28:08,288 --> 01:28:10,657
- I'll get dressed.
- Yeah.

1177
01:28:12,158 --> 01:28:15,195
I saw Fallon hanging around again.

1178
01:28:15,261 --> 01:28:17,731
There's something about that man I don't trust.

1179
01:28:17,797 --> 01:28:20,867
You trust me? Then trust Fallon.

1180
01:28:20,934 --> 01:28:23,603
He protects the things that I care about.

1181
01:29:01,841 --> 01:29:04,344
We're sorry to see you go, Mr. Angier.

1182
01:29:04,411 --> 01:29:06,980
We were sorry to see Mr. Tesla leave, as well.

1183
01:29:07,147 --> 01:29:09,149
He's very good to Colorado Springs.

1184
01:29:09,215 --> 01:29:11,885
Mr. Angier,

1185
01:29:11,951 --> 01:29:15,588
I didn't think it was necessary to tell Edison's men about the box.

1186
01:29:15,655 --> 01:29:17,323
What box?

1187
01:29:42,649 --> 01:29:45,151
I apologize for leaving without saying goodbye.

1188
01:29:46,119 --> 01:29:51,358
But I seem to have outstayed my welcome in Colorado.

1189
01:29:51,424 --> 01:29:55,929
The truly extraordinary is not permitted in science and industry.

1190
01:29:55,995 --> 01:29:58,798
Perhaps you'll find more luck in your field,

1191
01:29:58,865 --> 01:30:01,534
where people are happy to be mystified.

1192
01:30:01,601 --> 01:30:05,572
You will find what you are looking for in this box.

1193
01:30:05,638 --> 01:30:10,760
Alley has written you a thorough set of instructions.

1194
01:30:10,143 --> 01:30:14,881
I add only one suggestion on using the machine.

1195
01:30:14,948 --> 01:30:16,916
Destroy it.

1196
01:30:16,983 --> 01:30:20,286
Drop it to the bottom of the deepest ocean.

1197
01:30:20,353 --> 01:30:23,757
Such a thing will bring you only misery.

1198
01:30:27,627 --> 01:30:31,264
Tesla's warning is as unheeded as he knew it would be.

1199
01:30:31,331 --> 01:30:34,901
Today I tested the machine. Taking precautions in case

1200
01:30:34,968 --> 01:30:37,937
Tesla hadn't ironed out the kinks in its operation.

1201
01:30:38,400 --> 01:30:39,806
But if it went wrong,

1202
01:30:39,873 --> 01:30:42,420
I would not want to live like that for long.

1203
01:31:01,494 --> 01:31:05,632
But here at the turn, I must leave you, Borden.

1204
01:31:05,699 --> 01:31:07,934
Yes, you, Borden,

1205
01:31:08,100 --> 01:31:10,370
sitting there in your cell,

1206
01:31:10,437 --> 01:31:14,474
reading my diary, awaiting your death,

1207
01:31:14,541 --> 01:31:16,543
for my murder.

1208
01:31:21,881 --> 01:31:25,185
Angier's journal, that gesture of good faith, that's a fake.

1209
01:31:25,251 --> 01:31:26,553
I assure you, it's not.

1210
01:31:26,619 --> 01:31:29,556
The provenance of the journal is clear and under no doubt.

1211
01:31:29,622 --> 01:31:34,127
And it's written in Angier's own hand, for which we have numerous examples.

1212
01:31:35,995 --> 01:31:37,897
It don't matter.

1213
01:31:39,833 --> 01:31:41,868
So my tricks.

1214
01:31:45,105 --> 01:31:48,575
- All of them.
- Including The Transported Man?

1215
01:31:50,100 --> 01:31:53,213
- Lord Caldlow will be very pleased.
- No, he won't.

1216
01:31:53,279 --> 01:31:55,648
They're not complete.

1217
01:31:55,715 --> 01:31:58,451
It's just the pledge and the turn for each.

1218
01:31:58,518 --> 01:32:02,589
Without the prestige for these tricks, these are worthless.

1219
01:32:02,655 --> 01:32:04,691
Yeah.

1220
01:32:04,758 --> 01:32:08,294
You get the rest of it... when you bring my daughter here.

1221
01:32:11,310 --> 01:32:13,266
I want to say goodbye.

1222
01:32:15,100 --> 01:32:18,171
We have to go through it now. We have to go through it now.

1223
01:32:18,238 --> 01:32:20,607
Now, listen to me, deny it all you want.

1224
01:32:20,674 --> 01:32:23,430
Olivia means nothing.

1225
01:32:23,109 --> 01:32:24,911
- Olivia?
- I need an assistant.

1226
01:32:24,978 --> 01:32:27,814
- I'll go to her, I'll tell her.
- You'll tell her what?

1227
01:32:27,881 --> 01:32:29,949
I know what you really are, Alfred.

1228
01:32:31,151 --> 01:32:33,820
- I know.
- Sarah, Sarah, Sarah.

1229
01:32:33,887 --> 01:32:36,523
- I can't keep it in.
- You can't talk like this.

1230
01:32:36,589 --> 01:32:39,125
- No. No.
- Sarah, shut up! Sarah, shut up!

1231
01:32:39,192 --> 01:32:43,329
I don't want to hear it anymore. You can't talk like this.

1232
01:32:45,932 --> 01:32:49,335
You can't hide it anymore, because I know, Alfred, I know.

1233
01:32:49,402 --> 01:32:52,839
I know what you really are, Alfred.

1234
01:32:52,906 --> 01:32:55,709
I can't live like this.

1235
01:32:55,775 --> 01:32:57,911
Oh, well, you think I can live like this?

1236
01:32:57,977 --> 01:33:01,147
You think I bloody enjoy living like this?

1237
01:33:01,214 --> 01:33:05,618
We have this beautiful house, lovely little girl, we're married.

1238
01:33:05,685 --> 01:33:07,354
What is so wrong with your life?

1239
01:33:07,420 --> 01:33:10,230
Alfred, I can't live like this!

1240
01:33:10,900 --> 01:33:12,459
Well, what do you want from me?

1241
01:33:15,795 --> 01:33:19,499
I... I want...

1242
01:33:19,566 --> 01:33:22,635
I want you to be... honest with me.

1243
01:33:25,372 --> 01:33:27,841
No tricks.

1244
01:33:27,907 --> 01:33:30,100
No lies.

1245
01:33:30,760 --> 01:33:33,880
And no secrets.

1246
01:33:40,153 --> 01:33:43,490
Do you... do you love me?

1247
01:33:46,559 --> 01:33:48,194
Not today.

1248
01:33:50,330 --> 01:33:51,398
No.

1249
01:35:29,620 --> 01:35:30,960
Who's there?

1250
01:35:33,233 --> 01:35:35,335
I'm looking for an old friend.

1251
01:35:35,402 --> 01:35:38,338
I heard about a booking, nice little theater,

1252
01:35:38,405 --> 01:35:40,840
- good up-and-coming magician.
- You're back.

1253
01:35:40,907 --> 01:35:42,509
It's good to see you, John.

1254
01:35:43,276 --> 01:35:46,120
Good rehearsal space.

1255
01:35:46,790 --> 01:35:48,848
Blind stagehands, I like it.

1256
01:35:48,915 --> 01:35:51,584
You always had a good eye for publicity.

1257
01:35:51,651 --> 01:35:52,986
I need your help, John.

1258
01:35:53,530 --> 01:35:55,855
It's my last show. A limited engagement.

1259
01:35:55,922 --> 01:35:57,557
Your last show?

1260
01:35:57,624 --> 01:36:01,761
A wise man once told me obsession was a young man's game.

1261
01:36:01,828 --> 01:36:05,398
I'm almost done. There's one thing left.

1262
01:36:06,399 --> 01:36:08,935
The Real Transported Man.

1263
01:36:10,737 --> 01:36:12,739
You want to design a show around it?

1264
01:36:12,806 --> 01:36:15,675
I don't want you backstage I need you in front managing.

1265
01:36:15,742 --> 01:36:18,411
Call in any favors or connections you have left

1266
01:36:18,478 --> 01:36:19,946
to get us the right booking.

1267
01:36:20,130 --> 01:36:22,115
What sort of booking you after?

1268
01:36:22,182 --> 01:36:24,584
The sort that Borden can't ignore.

1269
01:36:30,957 --> 01:36:34,194
Oh, what an honor it is to see you again, sir.

1270
01:36:34,260 --> 01:36:38,231
You told me you only wanted to show me one trick that'd pique my interest.

1271
01:36:38,298 --> 01:36:41,468
- It's a very clever trick.
- Pleased to meet you, Mr. Ackerman.

1272
01:36:41,534 --> 01:36:44,404
Likewise, I'm sure. Let's get on, shall we?

1273
01:36:48,410 --> 01:36:49,809
Turn it on, gentlemen.

1274
01:36:54,147 --> 01:36:56,182
Very pretty.

1275
01:37:07,227 --> 01:37:10,897
That's it, Cutter? He simply disappears?

1276
01:37:10,964 --> 01:37:13,333
That's not a trick. He has to come back.

1277
01:37:13,400 --> 01:37:15,568
- There has to be a...
- A prestige?

1278
01:37:15,635 --> 01:37:16,636
Exactly.

1279
01:37:19,639 --> 01:37:22,308
Pardon me.

1280
01:37:22,375 --> 01:37:25,645
It's very rare to see...

1281
01:37:25,712 --> 01:37:27,180
...real magic.

1282
01:37:28,682 --> 01:37:30,383
It's been many years since...

1283
01:37:30,450 --> 01:37:32,185
Are you interested in helping us?

1284
01:37:34,254 --> 01:37:37,991
Yes... but you'll have to dress it up a little.

1285
01:37:40,260 --> 01:37:41,928
Disguise it.

1286
01:37:43,596 --> 01:37:46,990
Give them enough reason to doubt it.

1287
01:37:46,900 --> 01:37:50,136
You haven't spoken about her, Freddie, not once.

1288
01:37:50,203 --> 01:37:53,907
Why would I talk about her to you, hm?

1289
01:37:53,973 --> 01:37:57,844
Because she was a part of your life and now she's gone.

1290
01:38:00,814 --> 01:38:05,318
You know, the day before she killed herself she said she wanted to meet me.

1291
01:38:05,385 --> 01:38:08,321
That she had something to tell me about you.

1292
01:38:08,388 --> 01:38:11,991
I was such a coward, I couldn't bring myself to face her.

1293
01:38:12,580 --> 01:38:13,560
But...

1294
01:38:14,761 --> 01:38:17,300
...what would she have said?

1295
01:38:17,970 --> 01:38:20,200
You want to know the truth about me?

1296
01:38:21,468 --> 01:38:23,970
The truth is that...

1297
01:38:26,139 --> 01:38:28,141
...I never loved Sarah.

1298
01:38:29,342 --> 01:38:30,844
I never loved her.

1299
01:38:30,910 --> 01:38:33,146
You married her, you had a child with her.

1300
01:38:33,213 --> 01:38:36,316
Yes. Part of me. Part of me did, but...

1301
01:38:36,383 --> 01:38:38,318
...the other part didn't.

1302
01:38:38,385 --> 01:38:42,622
The part that found you, the part that's sitting here right now.

1303
01:38:42,689 --> 01:38:45,759
I love you. No, Olivia, I love you.

1304
01:38:45,825 --> 01:38:47,794
That's the truth.

1305
01:38:47,861 --> 01:38:50,263
That is the truth that matters.

1306
01:38:50,330 --> 01:38:54,734
You could be in some other restaurant with some other woman right now,

1307
01:38:54,801 --> 01:38:56,403
talking about me that way.

1308
01:38:56,469 --> 01:38:58,605
- No.
- Yes.

1309
01:39:02,420 --> 01:39:05,779
It's inhuman to be so cold.

1310
01:39:11,451 --> 01:39:12,719
He's back.

1311
01:39:13,620 --> 01:39:16,890
After two years, he's got a new trick.

1312
01:39:16,956 --> 01:39:19,626
They're saying it's the best London's ever seen.

1313
01:39:21,828 --> 01:39:24,297
You should see the look on your face, Professor.

1314
01:39:26,166 --> 01:39:28,101
You should go to him.

1315
01:39:28,168 --> 01:39:30,704
You two deserve each other.

1316
01:39:35,675 --> 01:39:39,612
But I'm afraid I'm booked. The Moscow Ballet plays through next year.

1317
01:39:39,679 --> 01:39:44,250
Then get rid of them. There will be 100 performances, no more, no less.

1318
01:39:44,317 --> 01:39:46,820
Five performances a week, no matinees.

1319
01:39:48,621 --> 01:39:51,658
That's what you'll charge for each ticket. Good day.

1320
01:40:14,381 --> 01:40:19,190
Ladies and gentlemen, my first trick of the evening involves considerable risk.

1321
01:40:20,253 --> 01:40:21,621
Anyone in the audience

1322
01:40:21,688 --> 01:40:24,524
who would be irrevocably damaged by seeing a man drown

1323
01:40:24,591 --> 01:40:26,192
should leave now.

1324
01:40:26,259 --> 01:40:29,620
When I tell you the lady who taught me this illusion

1325
01:40:29,129 --> 01:40:31,131
actually died performing it,

1326
01:40:31,197 --> 01:40:34,501
you'll understand the seriousness of the dangers involved.

1327
01:40:36,669 --> 01:40:39,720
Let's begin.

1328
01:40:48,782 --> 01:40:51,418
In my travels, I have seen the future.

1329
01:40:53,219 --> 01:40:56,823
And it is a strange future, indeed.

1330
01:40:56,890 --> 01:40:58,158
The world, ladies and gentlemen,

1331
01:40:59,125 --> 01:41:01,428
is on the brink of new

1332
01:41:01,494 --> 01:41:03,229
and terrifying possibilities.

1333
01:41:23,717 --> 01:41:27,187
What you're about to witness is not magic.

1334
01:41:28,355 --> 01:41:29,756
It's purely science.

1335
01:41:29,823 --> 01:41:32,258
I'd like to invite you to come up on stage now

1336
01:41:32,325 --> 01:41:35,295
so that you can examine the machine for yourselves.

1337
01:42:30,617 --> 01:42:32,452
Man's reach

1338
01:42:32,519 --> 01:42:35,655
exceeds his imagination.

1339
01:42:46,933 --> 01:42:48,301
Bravo!

1340
01:42:56,343 --> 01:42:59,790
One hundred performances. Why?

1341
01:42:59,145 --> 01:43:00,714
Does his method dictate that?

1342
01:43:00,780 --> 01:43:02,682
Is it a publicity move? What is it?

1343
01:43:02,749 --> 01:43:05,118
He's a no-talent magician, and they call him

1344
01:43:05,185 --> 01:43:07,587
the bloody best in England. Why?

1345
01:43:07,654 --> 01:43:10,423
Fifty yards in a second! In a second!

1346
01:43:10,490 --> 01:43:13,593
And all that we know is he uses a trap door.

1347
01:43:13,660 --> 01:43:17,931
Brilliant! What is going on under that stage? Huh?!

1348
01:43:17,997 --> 01:43:20,433
Why can't you out-think him?

1349
01:43:35,548 --> 01:43:40,754
They do this every night, after each performance. Yeah?

1350
01:44:07,470 --> 01:44:08,381
Huh.

1351
01:44:09,249 --> 01:44:12,218
We're done.

1352
01:44:13,520 --> 01:44:15,880
All right?

1353
01:44:16,389 --> 01:44:18,158
Let him have his trick.

1354
01:44:18,224 --> 01:44:20,727
I don't need his secret.

1355
01:44:20,794 --> 01:44:22,295
So...

1356
01:44:23,797 --> 01:44:26,766
...don't go back there, you leave him alone.

1357
01:44:26,833 --> 01:44:30,103
Both of us... just leave him alone.

1358
01:44:30,170 --> 01:44:31,805
We're done.

1359
01:44:40,547 --> 01:44:42,615
I told you, John.

1360
01:44:42,682 --> 01:44:44,784
I don't want you backstage on this one.

1361
01:44:46,419 --> 01:44:48,822
I would like to invite you onstage now

1362
01:44:48,888 --> 01:44:51,591
so that you can examine the machine for yourselves.

1363
01:45:20,787 --> 01:45:24,524
- Hey, where do you think...?
- I'm part of the bloody act, you fool.

1364
01:45:33,533 --> 01:45:34,534
Who was that?

1365
01:46:31,910 --> 01:46:35,228
Hey! Where's the bloody key?!

1366
01:46:35,295 --> 01:46:36,863
Where's the bloody key?!

1367
01:46:39,299 --> 01:46:43,360
Where's the bloody key?! He's bloody drowning!

1368
01:46:52,278 --> 01:46:53,246
Hold on!

1369
01:46:58,585 --> 01:46:59,152
What have you done?

1370
01:47:21,875 --> 01:47:27,313
Alfred Borden, you have been found guilty of the murder of Robert Angier.

1371
01:47:27,380 --> 01:47:31,618
You will be hanged by the neck until dead.

1372
01:47:31,685 --> 01:47:34,654
May the Lord have mercy on your soul.

1373
01:47:36,423 --> 01:47:38,591
Mr. Cutter?

1374
01:47:38,658 --> 01:47:40,293
Owens.

1375
01:47:40,360 --> 01:47:43,196
Oh, thank you for coming, Mr. Owens.

1376
01:47:43,263 --> 01:47:47,634
It has fallen to me to dispose of Mr. Angier's equipment.

1377
01:47:47,701 --> 01:47:49,302
But I notice from this manifest

1378
01:47:49,369 --> 01:47:53,730
that Lord Caldlow has purchased the bulk of the items.

1379
01:47:53,139 --> 01:47:56,443
Mr. Cutter, if you need to know where to deliver these items...

1380
01:47:56,509 --> 01:48:00,113
No, it's just there is one particular item,

1381
01:48:01,470 --> 01:48:03,650
this item, in fact,

1382
01:48:03,717 --> 01:48:05,985
- I would like to...
- You would like to...

1383
01:48:06,152 --> 01:48:07,153
...buy.

1384
01:48:07,220 --> 01:48:09,122
- Buy yourself?
- Yeah, I suppose so.

1385
01:48:10,357 --> 01:48:12,292
- This is the machine?
- Yes.

1386
01:48:12,359 --> 01:48:14,594
Well, I'm afraid Lord Caldlow was adamant

1387
01:48:14,661 --> 01:48:16,896
about purchasing this particular item.

1388
01:48:16,963 --> 01:48:20,660
Do you think I could talk to Lord Caldlow in person?

1389
01:48:20,133 --> 01:48:22,902
Out of the question, I'm afraid.

1390
01:48:25,338 --> 01:48:27,240
Of course,

1391
01:48:27,307 --> 01:48:30,543
I suppose if, in the course of your delivery arrangements,

1392
01:48:30,610 --> 01:48:35,810
your paths were to cross, I can't stop you speaking your mind.

1393
01:48:35,148 --> 01:48:37,183
Thank you.

1394
01:48:38,752 --> 01:48:40,920
- Still here, Borden?
- For now.

1395
01:48:41,521 --> 01:48:44,491
You got a visitor. Lord Caldlow.

1396
01:48:44,557 --> 01:48:46,659
With a little girl.

1397
01:48:54,934 --> 01:48:56,836
Jess?

1398
01:48:56,903 --> 01:48:58,538
Hello, my love.

1399
01:48:58,605 --> 01:49:02,750
How are you? I've missed you so much.

1400
01:49:02,142 --> 01:49:04,277
Fallon's missed you too. We both have.

1401
01:49:04,344 --> 01:49:06,680
Daddy, can I come in there?

1402
01:49:07,313 --> 01:49:09,949
Not right now. Not right now, darling.

1403
01:49:10,160 --> 01:49:12,285
No, but everything is gonna be all right.

1404
01:49:13,853 --> 01:49:15,588
You must be Lord Caldlow?

1405
01:49:15,655 --> 01:49:19,392
Caldlow. Yes, I am. I always have been.

1406
01:49:24,431 --> 01:49:26,633
They flatter you with all those chains.

1407
01:49:26,700 --> 01:49:29,736
Don't they know you can't escape without your rubber ball?

1408
01:49:29,803 --> 01:49:32,806
I pulled you out... out of that tank.

1409
01:49:32,872 --> 01:49:36,710
All I wanted to do was prove that I was a better magician.

1410
01:49:36,776 --> 01:49:38,678
But you couldn't leave me alone.

1411
01:49:40,180 --> 01:49:42,282
I don't know what you've done.

1412
01:49:44,184 --> 01:49:47,887
But you're not afraid to get your hands dirty anymore, are you?

1413
01:49:47,954 --> 01:49:51,224
No, not anymore. And I win.

1414
01:49:51,291 --> 01:49:54,627
No one cares about the man in the box, the man who disappears.

1415
01:49:54,694 --> 01:49:55,829
You win?

1416
01:49:57,263 --> 01:50:01,935
This ain't a bloody competition anymore. This is my little girl's life.

1417
01:50:02,100 --> 01:50:05,400
And don't you dare put her in the middle of this.

1418
01:50:05,710 --> 01:50:08,740
Oh, I know how hard it is to have someone so special

1419
01:50:08,141 --> 01:50:10,510
taken away from you, don't I, Borden?

1420
01:50:11,511 --> 01:50:14,247
And you can't take it with you, now, can you?

1421
01:50:14,314 --> 01:50:16,216
Oh, she'll be looked after.

1422
01:50:16,282 --> 01:50:18,284
Goodbye, Professor. Come on, darling.

1423
01:50:18,385 --> 01:50:20,153
No, no, no, no, stop, my darling.

1424
01:50:20,220 --> 01:50:22,355
Look, here.

1425
01:50:23,890 --> 01:50:27,160
That's what you're after. That's what this is about.

1426
01:50:27,961 --> 01:50:29,329
Take it.

1427
01:50:29,396 --> 01:50:31,970
- Your secret?
- Yeah.

1428
01:50:34,300 --> 01:50:37,871
You always were the better magician. We both know that.

1429
01:50:38,505 --> 01:50:41,107
Whatever your secret was, you have to agree,

1430
01:50:42,242 --> 01:50:43,576
mine is better.

1431
01:50:45,278 --> 01:50:48,648
Don't do this. Don't do this, Angier. Jess, Jess!

1432
01:50:48,715 --> 01:50:52,252
Jess, I'm gonna take you home soon. I promise.

1433
01:50:52,318 --> 01:50:54,888
- For God's sake.
- I promise. Look!

1434
01:50:58,725 --> 01:51:02,328
I promise. I love you, Jess.

1435
01:51:02,395 --> 01:51:04,640
I love you.

1436
01:51:04,130 --> 01:51:05,765
- Come on.
- I love you.

1437
01:51:05,832 --> 01:51:07,534
I love you, Jess.

1438
01:51:07,600 --> 01:51:09,936
Angier! Angier!

1439
01:51:10,300 --> 01:51:12,105
What, do you think this place can hold me?

1440
01:51:12,172 --> 01:51:15,175
Angier! They're gonna bloody hang me!

1441
01:51:15,275 --> 01:51:17,811
And you can put a stop to this now!

1442
01:51:18,445 --> 01:51:20,647
Listen! Listen! That man...

1443
01:51:20,714 --> 01:51:23,830
Listen, that man is the one I'm in for killing!

1444
01:51:23,149 --> 01:51:27,487
Listen! If he's alive, I'm not guilty!

1445
01:51:27,554 --> 01:51:29,823
- I'm not guilty!
- I don't care!

1446
01:51:29,889 --> 01:51:31,991
- Get hold of him.
- Angier!

1447
01:51:36,663 --> 01:51:39,232
Run along now.

1448
01:51:39,299 --> 01:51:41,835
Sir, there's a gentleman waiting.

1449
01:51:58,651 --> 01:52:01,388
- Dear God.
- Hello, Cutter.

1450
01:52:02,355 --> 01:52:04,791
You're still alive.

1451
01:52:04,858 --> 01:52:06,726
How is it you're still alive?

1452
01:52:06,793 --> 01:52:09,195
I saw you on a slab, for God's sake.

1453
01:52:12,198 --> 01:52:14,234
- Child.
- Good night, sir.

1454
01:52:14,300 --> 01:52:16,269
Good night, Jess.

1455
01:52:17,504 --> 01:52:19,172
I've seen her before.

1456
01:52:19,239 --> 01:52:21,775
I saw her in court with...

1457
01:52:22,709 --> 01:52:24,344
...Fallon.

1458
01:52:26,446 --> 01:52:29,490
- What have you done?
- She needs looking after.

1459
01:52:29,115 --> 01:52:31,584
She needs her father.

1460
01:52:31,685 --> 01:52:34,654
You're letting him hang, and I helped you.

1461
01:52:34,721 --> 01:52:39,659
I came here to beg Lord Caldlow to let me destroy that machine.

1462
01:52:41,127 --> 01:52:44,564
I am not going to beg you for anything.

1463
01:52:44,631 --> 01:52:47,901
You don't have to. I'm gonna make sure it is never used again.

1464
01:52:49,350 --> 01:52:52,138
Then, Lord Caldlow...

1465
01:52:54,674 --> 01:52:56,743
...where do you want me to deliver it?

1466
01:52:56,810 --> 01:53:00,580
My theater. It belongs with the prestige materials.

1467
01:53:01,470 --> 01:53:03,650
John, I tried not to involve you.

1468
01:53:16,596 --> 01:53:18,865
So...

1469
01:53:20,900 --> 01:53:23,503
We go alone now.

1470
01:53:23,570 --> 01:53:26,500
Both of us.

1471
01:53:28,808 --> 01:53:32,212
I mean, I don't have as far to go as you.

1472
01:53:37,517 --> 01:53:38,852
No.

1473
01:53:40,387 --> 01:53:43,456
You were right. I should have left him to his damn trick.

1474
01:53:45,225 --> 01:53:47,327
I'm sorry.

1475
01:53:48,862 --> 01:53:51,197
I'm sorry for a lot of things.

1476
01:53:52,332 --> 01:53:55,680
I'm sorry about Sarah.

1477
01:53:56,169 --> 01:53:59,606
Didn't mean to hurt her, I didn't.

1478
01:54:01,508 --> 01:54:05,845
You go live your life in full now, all right? You live for both of us.

1479
01:54:14,688 --> 01:54:16,156
Goodbye.

1480
01:55:01,968 --> 01:55:04,404
Are you watching closely?

1481
01:55:35,769 --> 01:55:37,704
Put it down on the end.

1482
01:56:11,104 --> 01:56:14,874
Take a minute to consider your achievement.

1483
01:56:15,942 --> 01:56:18,745
I once told you about a sailor

1484
01:56:18,812 --> 01:56:21,114
who described drowning to me.

1485
01:56:21,181 --> 01:56:23,383
Yes, he said it was like going home.

1486
01:56:24,484 --> 01:56:28,254
I was lying. He said it was agony.

1487
01:57:07,994 --> 01:57:12,165
Alfred Borden, this day, in the name of the king

1488
01:57:12,232 --> 01:57:14,234
and the High Court of England,

1489
01:57:14,300 --> 01:57:16,136
you will meet your end.

1490
01:57:18,238 --> 01:57:20,273
No one cares about the man in the box.

1491
01:57:25,111 --> 01:57:26,846
Cutter?

1492
01:57:31,518 --> 01:57:33,530
Cutter!

1493
01:57:34,921 --> 01:57:37,190
Do you have anything to say?

1494
01:57:41,928 --> 01:57:43,329
Abracadabra.

1495
01:58:19,966 --> 01:58:22,702
A brother? A twin?

1496
01:58:24,537 --> 01:58:26,906
You were Fallon.

1497
01:58:28,408 --> 01:58:31,770
- The whole time?
- No.

1498
01:58:32,112 --> 01:58:34,447
We were both Fallon.

1499
01:58:34,514 --> 01:58:36,416
We were both Borden.

1500
01:58:41,788 --> 01:58:44,758
Were you the one who went into the box?

1501
01:58:44,824 --> 01:58:46,526
Or the one who came back out?

1502
01:58:47,827 --> 01:58:50,130
We took turns.

1503
01:58:54,934 --> 01:58:57,300
The trick is where we would swap.

1504
01:59:03,209 --> 01:59:05,111
Cutter knew. Cutter knew.

1505
01:59:05,178 --> 01:59:07,447
But I told him it was too simple, too easy.

1506
01:59:08,648 --> 01:59:09,616
No.

1507
01:59:11,184 --> 01:59:13,153
Simple, maybe, but not easy.

1508
01:59:13,219 --> 01:59:16,990
There's nothing easy about two men sharing one life.

1509
01:59:22,662 --> 01:59:25,865
I don't understand, how it can be bleeding again?

1510
01:59:29,335 --> 01:59:32,138
Wha... What about Olivia and your wife?

1511
01:59:33,139 --> 01:59:35,410
We each loved one of them.

1512
01:59:38,678 --> 01:59:41,414
I loved Sarah.

1513
01:59:41,481 --> 01:59:44,170
He loved Olivia.

1514
01:59:44,840 --> 01:59:46,519
We each had half of a full life,

1515
01:59:46,586 --> 01:59:49,556
really, which was enough for us...

1516
01:59:49,656 --> 01:59:50,657
...just.

1517
01:59:53,293 --> 01:59:55,280
But not for them.

1518
01:59:57,597 --> 01:59:59,833
See, sacrifice, Robert,

1519
01:59:59,899 --> 02:00:02,635
that's the price of a good trick.

1520
02:00:04,671 --> 02:00:07,240
You wouldn't know anything about that, would you?

1521
02:00:10,510 --> 02:00:12,445
I've... I've made sacrifices.

1522
02:00:12,512 --> 02:00:14,481
- No.
- Yes.

1523
02:00:14,948 --> 02:00:18,510
It takes nothing to steal another man's work.

1524
02:00:18,118 --> 02:00:20,887
Yeah, it takes everything.

1525
02:00:40,940 --> 02:00:43,760
No, no, wait, I'm not...

1526
02:00:49,749 --> 02:00:52,385
It took courage.

1527
02:00:54,387 --> 02:00:57,590
It took courage to climb into that machine every night,

1528
02:00:58,391 --> 02:01:00,827
not knowing...

1529
02:01:00,894 --> 02:01:03,290
...if I'd be the man in the box...

1530
02:01:06,660 --> 02:01:07,333
...or in the prestige.

1531
02:01:08,668 --> 02:01:11,705
Do you want to see...

1532
02:01:11,771 --> 02:01:14,740
...what it cost me?

1533
02:01:14,140 --> 02:01:16,910
You didn't see where you are, did you?

1534
02:01:17,811 --> 02:01:20,213
Look. Look.

1535
02:01:21,314 --> 02:01:22,816
I don't care.

1536
02:01:27,520 --> 02:01:31,910
You went halfway around the world.

1537
02:01:31,157 --> 02:01:33,927
You spent a fortune.

1538
02:01:35,995 --> 02:01:38,531
You did terrible things.

1539
02:01:39,532 --> 02:01:42,100
Really terrible things, Robert.

1540
02:01:44,370 --> 02:01:45,505
And all for nothing.

1541
02:01:46,506 --> 02:01:47,707
For nothing?

1542
02:01:47,774 --> 02:01:49,109
Yeah.

1543
02:01:52,779 --> 02:01:55,415
You never understood...

1544
02:01:55,482 --> 02:01:57,484
...why we did this.

1545
02:02:00,587 --> 02:02:03,156
The audience knows the truth.

1546
02:02:04,290 --> 02:02:06,726
The world is simple.

1547
02:02:06,793 --> 02:02:08,528
It's miserable.

1548
02:02:08,595 --> 02:02:12,298
Solid... Solid all the way through.

1549
02:02:14,634 --> 02:02:16,970
But if you could fool them,

1550
02:02:17,370 --> 02:02:19,205
even for a second...

1551
02:02:20,740 --> 02:02:23,143
...then you could make them wonder.

1552
02:02:24,277 --> 02:02:26,479
And then you...

1553
02:02:26,546 --> 02:02:28,782
Then you got to see something

1554
02:02:28,848 --> 02:02:30,517
very special.

1555
02:02:34,821 --> 02:02:37,357
You really don't know.

1556
02:02:40,427 --> 02:02:42,950
It was...

1557
02:02:43,163 --> 02:02:46,132
...it was the look on their faces.

1558
02:03:01,314 --> 02:03:06,152
Every magic trick consists of three parts, or acts.

1559
02:03:09,589 --> 02:03:13,260
The first part is called "the pledge".

1560
02:03:13,126 --> 02:03:15,895
The magician shows you something ordinary.

1561
02:03:17,300 --> 02:03:19,966
The second act is called "the turn".

1562
02:03:21,434 --> 02:03:24,304
The magician takes the ordinary something

1563
02:03:24,371 --> 02:03:27,240
and makes it into something extraordinary.

1564
02:03:28,575 --> 02:03:32,479
But you wouldn't clap yet, because making something disappear

1565
02:03:32,545 --> 02:03:36,649
isn't enough. You have to bring it back.

1566
02:04:11,840 --> 02:04:13,520
Now you're looking for the secret.

1567
02:04:16,456 --> 02:04:20,193
But you won't find it, because, of course, you're not really looking.

1568
02:04:23,296 --> 02:04:26,733
You don't really want to work it out.

1569
02:04:29,536 --> 02:04:31,838
You want to be fooled.
