2
00:00:57,352 --> 00:00:59,183
Are you watching closely?

3
00:01:05,993 --> 00:01:10,487
Every magic trick consists
of three parts, or acts.

4
00:01:10,564 --> 00:01:13,966
The first part is called "the pledge."

5
00:01:14,034 --> 00:01:17,401
The magician shows you
something ordinary.

6
00:01:17,471 --> 00:01:20,929
A deck of cards, a bird or a man.

7
00:01:28,048 --> 00:01:29,982
He shows you this object.

8
00:01:30,049 --> 00:01:32,644
Perhaps he asks you to inspect it,

9
00:01:32,719 --> 00:01:35,745
to see that it is indeed real,

10
00:01:35,822 --> 00:01:38,881
unaltered, normal.

11
00:01:42,529 --> 00:01:45,429
But, of course, it probably isn't.

12
00:01:45,498 --> 00:01:47,295
Where do you think you're going?

13
00:01:47,367 --> 00:01:49,733
I'm part of the bloody act, you fool.

14
00:02:02,648 --> 00:02:05,116
The second act is called "the turn."

15
00:02:19,597 --> 00:02:22,623
The magician takes
the ordinary something

16
00:02:24,235 --> 00:02:27,295
and makes it do
something extraordinary.

17
00:02:31,809 --> 00:02:35,905
Now you're looking for the
secret, but you won't find it,

18
00:02:35,979 --> 00:02:39,813
because, of course,
you're not really looking.

19
00:02:39,883 --> 00:02:41,510
You don't really want to know.

20
00:02:44,655 --> 00:02:47,146
You want to be... fooled.

21
00:02:48,826 --> 00:02:51,260
But you wouldn't clap yet,

22
00:02:51,328 --> 00:02:55,491
because making something
disappear isn't enough.

23
00:02:55,565 --> 00:02:59,160
You have to bring it back.

24
00:03:00,670 --> 00:03:04,436
That's why every magic trick
has a third act.

25
00:03:04,507 --> 00:03:06,168
The hardest part.

26
00:03:06,242 --> 00:03:08,767
The part we call...

27
00:03:08,845 --> 00:03:10,176
"the prestige."

28
00:03:20,956 --> 00:03:25,154
The prestige? And did Robert
Angier, the Great Danton, your employer,

29
00:03:25,227 --> 00:03:27,662
get to that final part
of his trick that night?

30
00:03:27,730 --> 00:03:29,822
- No, sir. Something went wrong.
- What went wrong?

31
00:03:30,999 --> 00:03:34,492
I saw someone making
their way below stage.

32
00:03:34,569 --> 00:03:36,468
I followed him.

33
00:03:36,538 --> 00:03:39,803
It was Borden,
watching Mr. Angier drown.

34
00:03:39,875 --> 00:03:43,311
Would you please describe
your occupation to the jury, Mr. Cutter.

35
00:03:43,377 --> 00:03:45,743
I'm an ingénieur, I design illusions

36
00:03:45,813 --> 00:03:48,977
and construct the apparatus
necessary for performing them.

37
00:03:49,050 --> 00:03:53,487
So, Mr. Cutter, was this
water-filled tank beneath the stage

38
00:03:53,554 --> 00:03:55,147
part of Mr. Angier's illusion?

39
00:03:55,223 --> 00:03:59,090
No. The tank was brought
on for the first trick

40
00:03:59,159 --> 00:04:01,128
and then taken offstage.

41
00:04:01,195 --> 00:04:04,494
Borden must have placed it
under the trap door after the end of it.

42
00:04:04,565 --> 00:04:06,123
How large was this tank?

43
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,794
It's a normal tank
for escape under water,

44
00:04:08,869 --> 00:04:10,996
about 400 or 500 gallons.

45
00:04:11,071 --> 00:04:13,562
How do you think he
was able to move the tank

46
00:04:13,641 --> 00:04:16,007
under the trap door
without anyone noticing?

47
00:04:16,076 --> 00:04:18,442
He's a magician, ask him.

48
00:04:18,512 --> 00:04:19,603
I ask again,

49
00:04:19,679 --> 00:04:22,910
would this man explain the mechanics
of Mr. Angier's illusion.

50
00:04:22,983 --> 00:04:26,315
The Real Transported Man is one
of the most sought after illusions

51
00:04:26,386 --> 00:04:27,580
in this business.

52
00:04:27,654 --> 00:04:29,212
I have the right to sell it on.

53
00:04:29,289 --> 00:04:31,917
If I reveal the method here,
the trick is worthless.

54
00:04:31,991 --> 00:04:34,254
How can we know
that the tank wasn't simply

55
00:04:34,326 --> 00:04:36,794
some part of the trick that went wrong?

56
00:04:36,862 --> 00:04:38,922
Mr. Cutter, I see your predicament.

57
00:04:38,998 --> 00:04:41,398
But Alfred Borden's life
hangs in the balance.

58
00:04:41,467 --> 00:04:44,629
If you were prepared to disclose
the details to me in private,

59
00:04:44,703 --> 00:04:47,536
I might be able to judge
their relevance to the case.

60
00:04:47,606 --> 00:04:50,234
Might this be an acceptable compromise?

61
00:05:08,526 --> 00:05:11,893
I'm going to have to ask
you to turn out your pockets.

62
00:05:16,034 --> 00:05:19,595
Not my idea, sir. The warden saw
his show in Manchester last year

63
00:05:19,670 --> 00:05:21,535
where he vanished into thin air.

64
00:05:21,606 --> 00:05:24,097
He's convinced he'll try and escape.

65
00:05:27,511 --> 00:05:30,308
I told him the only way
Borden's going to disappear

66
00:05:30,380 --> 00:05:32,815
is if I leave him out there
with the other inmates.

67
00:05:38,689 --> 00:05:40,019
Check the locks...

68
00:05:41,725 --> 00:05:43,283
twice.

69
00:05:50,367 --> 00:05:52,891
My name is Owens.

70
00:05:52,969 --> 00:05:55,232
I'm a solicitor.

71
00:05:55,304 --> 00:05:58,967
I represent Lord Caldlow, an
accomplished amateur magician and...

72
00:05:59,041 --> 00:06:01,636
How much?

73
00:06:01,711 --> 00:06:04,042
- He is interested...
- How much for my tricks?

74
00:06:04,113 --> 00:06:05,705
Five thousand pounds.

75
00:06:05,781 --> 00:06:08,272
Talk to Fallon, my ingénieur.
Money's for him.

76
00:06:08,351 --> 00:06:12,047
Yes, I did. He offered
to sell me your tricks.

77
00:06:12,121 --> 00:06:14,987
All except the most valuable
one, The Transported Man.

78
00:06:15,057 --> 00:06:18,355
Well, I won't forgive myself
for selling my greatest trick.

79
00:06:18,427 --> 00:06:19,860
Even for your daughter?

80
00:06:21,529 --> 00:06:25,864
If you are for the drop, your daughter
is going to need looking after.

81
00:06:25,934 --> 00:06:27,663
Fallon will take care of her.

82
00:06:27,736 --> 00:06:29,464
Perfect, Fallon.

83
00:06:29,537 --> 00:06:31,562
A man with a past
as obscure as your own.

84
00:06:31,639 --> 00:06:36,667
The courts have motioned she be removed
from his care. She will be an orphan.

85
00:06:36,745 --> 00:06:39,008
I know you're no stranger
to the workhouse.

86
00:06:39,781 --> 00:06:41,612
It's better than here?

87
00:06:41,683 --> 00:06:44,914
I'm offering you a way to wrap up
your affairs with dignity.

88
00:06:44,986 --> 00:06:46,954
I'm offering your daughter a future.

89
00:06:47,020 --> 00:06:50,046
As Lord Caldlow's ward,
she will want for nothing...

90
00:06:50,124 --> 00:06:51,955
ever.

91
00:06:52,026 --> 00:06:55,017
Well, think it over.

92
00:06:55,095 --> 00:06:58,862
And Lord Caldlow
would like you to have this,

93
00:06:58,932 --> 00:07:01,457
as a show of good faith.
It might be of interest.

94
00:07:01,535 --> 00:07:05,062
Robert Angier's diary, including
the time he spent in Colorado

95
00:07:05,138 --> 00:07:06,400
learning your trick.

96
00:07:06,473 --> 00:07:08,168
- He never learned it.
- Really?

97
00:07:08,241 --> 00:07:11,768
On his return, he mounted
a version of The Transported Man

98
00:07:11,844 --> 00:07:15,803
that the papers said was
better even than your original.

99
00:07:15,882 --> 00:07:18,077
If you want Angier's secrets,

100
00:07:18,151 --> 00:07:22,712
you go dig him up and ask him yourself.

101
00:07:22,789 --> 00:07:24,653
I want your secret, Mr. Borden.

102
00:07:27,593 --> 00:07:29,026
Consider your daughter.

103
00:07:36,469 --> 00:07:38,436
A cipher,

104
00:07:38,503 --> 00:07:40,528
an enigma...

105
00:07:42,441 --> 00:07:44,271
a search,

106
00:07:44,342 --> 00:07:45,332
a search for answers.

107
00:07:53,017 --> 00:07:56,817
Even if Colorado
is the end of my journey,

108
00:07:56,888 --> 00:08:00,085
it'll take much longer to unravel

109
00:08:00,158 --> 00:08:02,058
the rest of Borden's secrets.

110
00:08:04,195 --> 00:08:06,094
See, the cipher in his notebook is

111
00:08:06,163 --> 00:08:08,654
unlocked by a single word,

112
00:08:08,732 --> 00:08:11,701
but it will still take months
to translate his writing.

113
00:08:11,770 --> 00:08:14,533
And to know his mind.

114
00:08:17,474 --> 00:08:19,806
Well, my passion is equal to the task.

115
00:08:32,890 --> 00:08:36,416
Mr. Angier, welcome
to Colorado Springs.

116
00:08:51,808 --> 00:08:54,868
- The whole town has electricity.
- Yes, sir.

117
00:09:12,060 --> 00:09:13,550
Well...

118
00:09:13,629 --> 00:09:15,118
quite a reception.

119
00:09:15,197 --> 00:09:17,688
You're our first guest
of the season, Mr. Angier.

120
00:09:17,766 --> 00:09:21,258
Your telegram didn't indicate
how long you'd be staying with us.

121
00:09:21,336 --> 00:09:22,963
As long as it takes.

122
00:09:23,038 --> 00:09:26,303
I will need a coach tomorrow
to take me up the mountain.

123
00:09:26,374 --> 00:09:28,102
Well, the peak's closed, sir.

124
00:09:28,175 --> 00:09:30,006
For scientific experimentation.

125
00:09:30,077 --> 00:09:32,045
Yes, I know.

126
00:09:32,113 --> 00:09:33,410
That's why I'm here.

127
00:09:40,655 --> 00:09:42,884
Whoa. Whoa.

128
00:09:44,592 --> 00:09:47,527
You'll have to walk
the rest, I'm afraid, sir.

129
00:10:23,128 --> 00:10:26,291
I'm amazed how many
of you newspaper writers

130
00:10:26,365 --> 00:10:28,424
can't read my sign.

131
00:10:33,171 --> 00:10:35,765
Not the welcome I was expecting.

132
00:10:38,744 --> 00:10:40,803
I know you.

133
00:10:44,782 --> 00:10:46,307
You're the Great Danton.

134
00:10:46,385 --> 00:10:48,683
I saw your show in London.

135
00:10:48,754 --> 00:10:51,517
Seven times you guessed every object

136
00:10:51,589 --> 00:10:53,819
the audience had in their pockets.

137
00:10:53,891 --> 00:10:57,952
I'm Alley. Sorry about the fence.
People keep interfering with our work.

138
00:10:58,029 --> 00:11:00,691
- I've come to see Tesla.
- Why?

139
00:11:00,765 --> 00:11:04,826
He made a machine
for a colleague of mine some time ago.

140
00:11:04,902 --> 00:11:08,393
- Can you get me a meeting with him?
- Impossible, I'm afraid.

141
00:11:08,472 --> 00:11:10,702
I've brought a lot of money.

142
00:11:10,775 --> 00:11:12,436
I'm sorry, Mr. Angier.

143
00:11:13,511 --> 00:11:16,071
I simply can't help.

144
00:11:17,247 --> 00:11:20,375
I'll be staying
at the hotel, indefinitely.

145
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,813
Hey, what am I holding?

146
00:11:25,889 --> 00:11:27,186
Your watch.

147
00:11:31,995 --> 00:11:35,487
Borden's journal
entry for April 3, 1897,

148
00:11:35,564 --> 00:11:37,658
describes a show
at the Orpheum Theatre.

149
00:11:37,733 --> 00:11:40,635
That was just days
after he first met me.

150
00:11:43,372 --> 00:11:46,739
We were two young men
at the start of a great career,

151
00:11:46,809 --> 00:11:49,141
two young men devoted to an illusion,

152
00:11:49,211 --> 00:11:51,771
two young men who never
intended to hurt anyone.

153
00:11:51,847 --> 00:11:53,610
Which of you brave souls

154
00:11:53,682 --> 00:11:56,412
is willing to bind
this lovely young woman?

155
00:11:58,187 --> 00:12:00,121
Me!

156
00:12:08,596 --> 00:12:10,121
If you would tie her wrists,

157
00:12:10,733 --> 00:12:13,099
bind her feet...

158
00:12:13,167 --> 00:12:15,692
around the ankle.

159
00:12:15,770 --> 00:12:17,863
Are either of you two gentlemen sailors?

160
00:12:17,939 --> 00:12:19,770
- No.
- No.

161
00:12:20,575 --> 00:12:23,669
I'm sure you can both tie a strong knot.

162
00:13:26,771 --> 00:13:30,367
He's complacent,
he's predictable, he's boring.

163
00:13:30,443 --> 00:13:33,003
Milton has gotten success,
whatever that means,

164
00:13:33,079 --> 00:13:36,309
so now he's scared.
He won't take any risks at all.

165
00:13:36,381 --> 00:13:39,441
He's squandering the goodwill
of his audience with tired,

166
00:13:39,517 --> 00:13:42,111
- second-rate tricks...
- They're all favorites.

167
00:13:42,187 --> 00:13:45,679
Give me something fresh.
He won't even try a bloody bullet catch.

168
00:13:45,757 --> 00:13:47,588
A bullet catch is suicide.

169
00:13:47,659 --> 00:13:51,651
All it takes is some smartass
volunteer to put a button in the barrel.

170
00:13:51,729 --> 00:13:53,992
- Use a plant.
- You can't for every trick.

171
00:13:54,064 --> 00:13:56,032
No seats left for the punters.

172
00:13:56,101 --> 00:13:59,900
All right, no bullet catch, whatever,
but the point is a real magician

173
00:13:59,970 --> 00:14:01,597
tries to invent something new

174
00:14:01,672 --> 00:14:04,539
that other magicians will
scratch their heads over.

175
00:14:04,608 --> 00:14:06,803
Then you sell it to him
for a small fortune.

176
00:14:06,877 --> 00:14:09,971
- What?
- I suppose you have such a trick?

177
00:14:10,047 --> 00:14:12,607
- I sure do.
- Would you care to sell it to me?

178
00:14:12,683 --> 00:14:14,275
No. No one else can do my trick.

179
00:14:14,350 --> 00:14:16,477
- Any trick can be duplicated.
- Wrong.

180
00:14:16,552 --> 00:14:20,283
If Mr. Borden has invented
his masterpiece,

181
00:14:20,356 --> 00:14:22,256
he's prepared to do it.

182
00:14:22,326 --> 00:14:24,452
Milton is a showman,
but Borden is right,

183
00:14:24,527 --> 00:14:26,155
he won't get his hands dirty.

184
00:14:26,229 --> 00:14:29,790
If you want to see what
it takes to make real magic,

185
00:14:29,866 --> 00:14:33,700
go to the Tenley. There's a Chinaman
there and he really has what it takes.

186
00:14:33,768 --> 00:14:35,999
- Chung Ling Soo.
- I can't afford that.

187
00:14:36,072 --> 00:14:37,801
I know the bloke run the door.

188
00:14:37,874 --> 00:14:42,207
You two go and see that show, and
whichever one of you can tell me

189
00:14:42,278 --> 00:14:45,372
how he does the goldfish bowl
trick gets the prize.

190
00:14:45,448 --> 00:14:47,712
- Which is?
- Ten minutes onstage

191
00:14:47,783 --> 00:14:49,614
with my old friend, Mr. Ackerman.

192
00:14:49,684 --> 00:14:51,117
- Really?
- Who's Ackerman?

193
00:14:51,186 --> 00:14:54,246
The top theatrical agent in London.

194
00:14:54,322 --> 00:14:57,314
- I saw you drop the knot again.
- I turned my wrists.

195
00:14:57,392 --> 00:15:00,020
Some nights you
just don't get it, do you?

196
00:15:00,095 --> 00:15:02,962
I mean, if that knot slips
and Julia's on the hoist,

197
00:15:03,031 --> 00:15:04,123
she'll break her leg.

198
00:15:04,199 --> 00:15:05,826
It's the wrong knot.

199
00:15:05,901 --> 00:15:08,767
Like I said, the Langford
double will hold tighter.

200
00:15:08,837 --> 00:15:12,363
The Langford double isn't
a wet knot. It's too dangerous.

201
00:15:12,439 --> 00:15:14,670
If the rope swells, she can't slip it.

202
00:15:14,743 --> 00:15:17,973
- I can slip a Langford underwater.
- We can practice.

203
00:15:18,045 --> 00:15:21,981
- Borden, he said no.
- Oh, you know knots better than me?

204
00:15:22,049 --> 00:15:24,040
Listen, no more mistakes.

205
00:15:24,118 --> 00:15:26,814
All right. Yeah? Do you?
You want to take over?

206
00:15:26,887 --> 00:15:29,821
- Just leave.
- I didn't think so.

207
00:15:34,260 --> 00:15:36,091
Hey, Cutter, where's he from?

208
00:15:36,162 --> 00:15:39,461
Where are you from? He shifts
props for Virgil at the hall.

209
00:15:39,532 --> 00:15:42,695
- Worried he'll steal your tricks?
- Doesn't deal in methods.

210
00:15:42,769 --> 00:15:45,829
- How do you know?
- Because I hired him

211
00:15:45,905 --> 00:15:49,136
to find out how Virgil
does the orange trick.

212
00:15:49,209 --> 00:15:51,541
- I don't trust him.
- He's a natural magician.

213
00:15:51,611 --> 00:15:53,704
'Course you can't trust him.

214
00:15:53,780 --> 00:15:55,145
I think he's all right.

215
00:15:55,215 --> 00:15:57,547
- You think everyone's all right.
- Even you.

216
00:15:57,617 --> 00:16:01,451
Watch your sightlines. If I can see you
kiss your wife's leg every night,

217
00:16:01,521 --> 00:16:04,183
so can the blokes at the ends
of rows three and four!

218
00:16:36,255 --> 00:16:38,688
You're wrong. It can't be.

219
00:16:38,756 --> 00:16:42,487
- Look at the man.
- This is the trick.

220
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,585
This is the performance. Right here.

221
00:16:44,662 --> 00:16:47,028
This is why no one
can detect his method.

222
00:16:48,798 --> 00:16:50,391
Total devotion to his art.

223
00:16:51,402 --> 00:16:53,131
A lot of self-sacrifice.

224
00:16:53,204 --> 00:16:55,570
You know.

225
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,335
It's the only way to escape...

226
00:16:58,408 --> 00:17:00,843
all this, you know?

227
00:17:04,614 --> 00:17:08,311
I can barely lift this thing
and it's not even filled with water.

228
00:17:09,953 --> 00:17:12,284
Or fish, look.

229
00:17:12,355 --> 00:17:14,619
I don't know. Hang on a second.

230
00:17:16,558 --> 00:17:19,255
He must be strong as an ox.

231
00:17:21,897 --> 00:17:24,730
He's been pretending
to be a cripple for years.

232
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,395
Any time he's in public,
any time he goes out. It's unthinkable.

233
00:17:28,470 --> 00:17:31,406
Borden saw it at once.
But I couldn't fathom it.

234
00:17:31,473 --> 00:17:34,340
Living my whole life
pretending to be someone else.

235
00:17:34,410 --> 00:17:36,139
You are pretending.

236
00:17:36,211 --> 00:17:38,236
I don't think changing a name compares.

237
00:17:38,313 --> 00:17:40,782
Not your name. Who you are
and where you're from.

238
00:17:40,848 --> 00:17:44,807
I promised I wouldn't embarrass
my family with my theatrical endeavors.

239
00:17:46,321 --> 00:17:48,585
I thought of a name for you.

240
00:17:49,957 --> 00:17:53,449
The Great Danton.

241
00:17:53,529 --> 00:17:56,497
Do you like it? But it's sophisticated.

242
00:17:56,564 --> 00:17:57,997
It's French.

243
00:18:03,970 --> 00:18:08,135
Borden writes as if no one but
he understood the true nature of magic.

244
00:18:13,780 --> 00:18:16,510
But what does he know of self-sacrifice?

245
00:18:21,621 --> 00:18:23,748
You bloody fool.

246
00:18:51,317 --> 00:18:54,912
- He killed it.
- It's OK.

247
00:18:54,987 --> 00:18:58,821
- He killed it.
- He didn't.

248
00:19:02,895 --> 00:19:04,589
Look, now he'll bring it back.

249
00:19:06,831 --> 00:19:09,766
- No, he killed it.
- No, he didn't.

250
00:19:18,076 --> 00:19:21,045
Look, see, he's all right. He's fine.

251
00:19:21,112 --> 00:19:25,208
- Look at him.
- But where's his brother?

252
00:19:27,919 --> 00:19:31,184
He's a sharp lad, your son.

253
00:19:31,256 --> 00:19:33,850
Oh, he's my nephew.

254
00:19:33,925 --> 00:19:35,414
Ah.

255
00:19:39,663 --> 00:19:41,153
You're the lucky one today.

256
00:20:01,752 --> 00:20:04,914
Are you watching closely?

257
00:20:07,690 --> 00:20:09,180
Look closer.

258
00:20:12,261 --> 00:20:14,058
Never show anyone.

259
00:20:14,130 --> 00:20:16,860
They'll beg you
and flatter you for the secret,

260
00:20:16,932 --> 00:20:20,425
but as soon as you give it up,
you'll be nothing to them.

261
00:20:20,503 --> 00:20:22,766
You understand? Nothing.

262
00:20:22,838 --> 00:20:25,899
The secret impresses no one.

263
00:20:25,975 --> 00:20:29,569
The trick you use it for is everything.

264
00:20:33,815 --> 00:20:36,750
Well, thank you for lunch, Mr. Borden.

265
00:20:36,818 --> 00:20:38,308
You're welcome.

266
00:20:39,754 --> 00:20:41,415
Alfred, it's Alfred.

267
00:20:41,489 --> 00:20:43,082
Alfred.

268
00:20:43,158 --> 00:20:46,126
So I could use a cup of tea.

269
00:20:46,194 --> 00:20:49,720
I can't allow...
It's the landlord. It's not...

270
00:20:51,166 --> 00:20:54,396
You think that's...
Is that enough to keep me out?

271
00:20:54,468 --> 00:20:57,699
I think so.

272
00:20:58,707 --> 00:21:00,298
So I'll see you again?

273
00:21:09,516 --> 00:21:12,007
Milk and sugar?

274
00:21:33,106 --> 00:21:35,074
What's in there?

275
00:21:35,141 --> 00:21:37,075
Angier's machine.

276
00:21:45,651 --> 00:21:47,278
You built this, Mr. Cutter?

277
00:21:47,352 --> 00:21:50,220
Oh, no, sir. This wasn't
built by a magician.

278
00:21:50,289 --> 00:21:52,314
This was built by a wizard.

279
00:21:52,391 --> 00:21:57,385
A man who can actually do
what magicians pretend to do.

280
00:21:57,462 --> 00:22:01,660
Tell me, Your Honor, what happens
with these things after the trial?

281
00:22:01,733 --> 00:22:03,701
They've been sold to a Lord Caldlow.

282
00:22:03,768 --> 00:22:06,533
An avid collector,
very interested in the case.

283
00:22:06,605 --> 00:22:09,096
Yeah. Well, don't let him take this.

284
00:22:09,174 --> 00:22:11,971
- Why ever not?
- It's too dangerous.

285
00:22:12,043 --> 00:22:14,204
I'm sure beneath its bells and whistles

286
00:22:14,278 --> 00:22:16,576
it's got a simple
and disappointing trick.

287
00:22:16,647 --> 00:22:19,081
The most disappointing of all, sir.

288
00:22:21,252 --> 00:22:22,947
It has no trick.

289
00:22:25,389 --> 00:22:26,981
It's real.

290
00:22:30,094 --> 00:22:32,392
This is the tank Angier drowned in?

291
00:22:32,463 --> 00:22:34,521
Yes.

292
00:22:34,598 --> 00:22:36,760
This is the...

293
00:22:36,834 --> 00:22:39,893
place where the performer's
hand reaches through

294
00:22:39,970 --> 00:22:41,232
to the trick padlock.

295
00:22:41,304 --> 00:22:43,568
A standard magical
apparatus for escapes?

296
00:22:43,641 --> 00:22:46,131
Yeah, with one important difference.

297
00:22:46,209 --> 00:22:48,234
This isn't a trick lock.

298
00:22:48,311 --> 00:22:50,279
It's been switched for a real one.

299
00:22:50,347 --> 00:22:52,315
What a way to kill someone.

300
00:22:52,382 --> 00:22:55,078
They're magicians, Your Honor.

301
00:22:55,151 --> 00:23:00,554
Showmen, men who live by dressing up
plain and sometimes brutal truths,

302
00:23:00,957 --> 00:23:03,720
to amaze, to shock.

303
00:23:03,792 --> 00:23:05,954
Even without an audience?

304
00:23:07,129 --> 00:23:09,097
There was an audience.

305
00:23:09,933 --> 00:23:11,991
You see, this water tank

306
00:23:12,067 --> 00:23:15,503
was of particular significance
to these two men.

307
00:23:16,805 --> 00:23:19,329
Particularly awful significance.

308
00:23:22,244 --> 00:23:27,237
Which of you brave souls is
willing to bind this lovely young woman?

309
00:23:29,817 --> 00:23:31,307
If you would tie her wrists,

310
00:23:31,386 --> 00:23:33,547
bind her feet around the ankle.

311
00:23:46,767 --> 00:23:49,362
- Are either of you gentlemen sailors?
- No.

312
00:23:51,339 --> 00:23:53,533
I'm sure you can both tie a strong knot.

313
00:24:48,727 --> 00:24:49,921
Robert!

314
00:25:12,083 --> 00:25:13,481
No, no.

315
00:25:17,454 --> 00:25:19,979
Julia. Julia!

316
00:26:04,667 --> 00:26:07,533
I knew an old sailor once.

317
00:26:07,602 --> 00:26:10,503
They told me he went overboard,

318
00:26:10,573 --> 00:26:12,665
tangled in the sails.

319
00:26:12,741 --> 00:26:14,538
They pulled him out,

320
00:26:14,609 --> 00:26:18,511
but it took him five minutes to cough.

321
00:26:18,580 --> 00:26:20,604
He said it was like...

322
00:26:20,682 --> 00:26:22,513
going home.

323
00:26:27,855 --> 00:26:30,187
What do you want, Borden?

324
00:26:36,997 --> 00:26:39,022
I'm sorry for your loss, Angier.

325
00:26:42,837 --> 00:26:44,895
Which knot did you tie?

326
00:26:48,041 --> 00:26:50,977
I keep asking myself that.

327
00:26:51,044 --> 00:26:53,036
- And?
- And...

328
00:26:54,781 --> 00:26:57,649
I'm sorry, I just don't know.

329
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,210
You don't know?

330
00:27:03,056 --> 00:27:04,991
I'm sorry.

331
00:27:05,959 --> 00:27:08,553
You don't know?

332
00:27:12,164 --> 00:27:14,359
You don't know?

333
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,972
- Alfred?
- Good news. We got our first booking.

334
00:27:24,443 --> 00:27:26,378
I don't think we've had the pleasure.

335
00:27:26,445 --> 00:27:29,471
- Mr. Fallon is my ingénieur.
- Where did you get all...?

336
00:27:29,548 --> 00:27:33,541
- I had to borrow and... don't ask.
- He's a very enterprising soul

337
00:27:33,619 --> 00:27:35,416
is... is Mr. Fallon. So...

338
00:27:35,487 --> 00:27:38,922
- We can't afford to pay him.
- The money will come with the audience.

339
00:27:38,991 --> 00:27:42,688
But what about until then?
What I earn, it's barely enough for us.

340
00:27:42,761 --> 00:27:46,720
Don't worry about it. I'll share
half my food with him or something.

341
00:27:46,798 --> 00:27:49,767
You're going to be
doing that with someone else.

342
00:27:49,834 --> 00:27:51,734
No. You're...

343
00:27:51,802 --> 00:27:54,067
Having a baby.

344
00:27:54,139 --> 00:27:57,039
Oh, my God.

345
00:27:57,108 --> 00:27:59,941
We should have told Fallon.
That is great.

346
00:28:00,011 --> 00:28:02,479
Oh, come here.

347
00:28:02,546 --> 00:28:05,515
Oh.

348
00:28:05,582 --> 00:28:07,107
Alfred, what is this?

349
00:28:07,184 --> 00:28:11,348
Oh, this is just the trick to work
Ackerman up at the end of my act.

350
00:28:11,422 --> 00:28:14,118
Is it the masterpiece, the great trick?

351
00:28:14,191 --> 00:28:16,954
No, no, no, the worid is
not ready for that one yet.

352
00:28:17,027 --> 00:28:21,362
This is just your run-of-the-mill,
daring, spectacular bullet catch.

353
00:28:21,432 --> 00:28:23,956
- A bullet catch.
- Yeah, but it's safe.

354
00:28:24,034 --> 00:28:26,332
I promise. Look.

355
00:28:28,704 --> 00:28:30,969
- Shoot me.
- Shoot you?

356
00:28:31,041 --> 00:28:32,268
Go on, shoot me.

357
00:28:34,777 --> 00:28:36,802
- Right there.
- No, I can't.

358
00:28:36,879 --> 00:28:39,439
No, no, not there.
Shoot me here. Don't...

359
00:28:43,686 --> 00:28:46,554
How's that?

360
00:28:46,622 --> 00:28:49,955
That's very good. Tell me how you do it.

361
00:28:50,025 --> 00:28:51,151
No, I can't do that.

362
00:28:53,228 --> 00:28:56,095
- Well, then you can't do it.
- I can't do it?

363
00:28:56,165 --> 00:28:59,498
I'm sorry, but I can't
raise a child on my own.

364
00:28:59,568 --> 00:29:01,900
You don't tell anybody that I told you.

365
00:29:01,971 --> 00:29:04,303
- OK.
- Gunpowder.

366
00:29:06,875 --> 00:29:08,000
Wadding.

367
00:29:09,644 --> 00:29:11,737
Then the bullet.

368
00:29:12,347 --> 00:29:14,076
Ramrod.

369
00:29:18,786 --> 00:29:20,777
Hold out your hand.

370
00:29:22,857 --> 00:29:26,793
The bullet is not even in the
gun when the charge is fired.

371
00:29:26,861 --> 00:29:30,627
Once you know,
it's actually very obvious.

372
00:29:31,699 --> 00:29:33,689
Well, I mean, you still get...

373
00:29:33,767 --> 00:29:35,360
It's dangerous.

374
00:29:35,436 --> 00:29:37,631
- People still get killed doing that.
- How?

375
00:29:37,705 --> 00:29:40,435
You get some smartass who
could put a penny or a button

376
00:29:40,508 --> 00:29:43,840
or, God forbid, Sarah, somebody
could put a bullet down there.

377
00:29:43,910 --> 00:29:47,107
Don't worry. Don't worry,

378
00:29:47,180 --> 00:29:50,445
because I'm not gonna let
anything happen.

379
00:29:50,516 --> 00:29:53,384
Everything's gonna
be all right because...

380
00:29:54,755 --> 00:29:58,020
I love you very much.

381
00:30:00,659 --> 00:30:03,958
- Say it again.
- I love you.

382
00:30:05,031 --> 00:30:07,499
- Not today.
- What?

383
00:30:07,566 --> 00:30:10,729
Well, some days it's not true,
and today you don't mean it.

384
00:30:10,803 --> 00:30:14,034
Maybe today you're more
in love with magic than me.

385
00:30:14,106 --> 00:30:16,733
I like being able
to tell the difference.

386
00:30:16,808 --> 00:30:19,607
It makes the days it is true

387
00:30:19,678 --> 00:30:22,009
mean something.

388
00:30:23,649 --> 00:30:25,081
All right.

389
00:30:44,069 --> 00:30:47,368
Metal rings,
ladies and gentlemen.

390
00:30:47,439 --> 00:30:50,100
If there are any
ladies and gentlemen here.

391
00:30:50,174 --> 00:30:53,541
- Solid metal.
- Seen that already.

392
00:31:04,188 --> 00:31:05,280
Who threw that?

393
00:31:21,871 --> 00:31:23,668
This is what you came for, is it?

394
00:31:27,510 --> 00:31:29,000
So...

395
00:31:30,113 --> 00:31:32,013
who wants to volunteer?

396
00:31:32,081 --> 00:31:33,844
- I do!
- Me!

397
00:31:41,590 --> 00:31:42,648
Me.

398
00:31:44,426 --> 00:31:46,486
Me.

399
00:31:59,908 --> 00:32:02,398
Are you man enough, sir?

400
00:32:07,381 --> 00:32:09,212
Yes.

401
00:32:19,994 --> 00:32:22,053
Which knot did you tie, Borden?

402
00:32:28,269 --> 00:32:30,533
Which knot did you tie, Borden?

403
00:32:31,705 --> 00:32:33,399
I don't know.

404
00:32:48,955 --> 00:32:52,617
He came in to demand
an answer, and I told him the truth.

405
00:32:52,691 --> 00:32:55,855
That I have fought with myself
over that night,

406
00:32:55,929 --> 00:32:59,261
one half of me swearing blind
that I tied a simple slipknot,

407
00:32:59,331 --> 00:33:02,698
the other half convinced
that I tied the Langford double.

408
00:33:02,768 --> 00:33:04,793
I can never know for sure.

409
00:33:07,740 --> 00:33:10,003
How can he not know!

410
00:33:10,075 --> 00:33:11,839
How can he not know?

411
00:33:13,478 --> 00:33:15,969
He must know what he did.

412
00:33:16,048 --> 00:33:17,447
He must.

413
00:33:20,084 --> 00:33:22,076
Sarah, that bloody hurts.

414
00:33:22,788 --> 00:33:25,416
I don't understand
how it can be bleeding again.

415
00:33:25,490 --> 00:33:27,923
It's as bad as the day it happened.

416
00:33:29,661 --> 00:33:33,596
- We have to get a doctor back.
- We can't afford the doctor back.

417
00:33:35,166 --> 00:33:38,761
- You've woken her.
- Great.

418
00:33:38,836 --> 00:33:41,737
I'm sorry, I need this to heal
so I can get back to work.

419
00:33:41,806 --> 00:33:45,571
You've got to face things. What tricks
can you perform with this injury?

420
00:33:45,643 --> 00:33:49,101
I can do car pulls.
I can do some prop tricks.

421
00:33:49,180 --> 00:33:53,548
I can still do that. I can do
the trick I've been telling you about.

422
00:33:53,618 --> 00:33:55,744
The one that they're
gonna remember me for.

423
00:33:58,121 --> 00:33:59,714
Come on.

424
00:34:25,281 --> 00:34:28,478
I never thought I'd find an answer
at the bottom of a pint glass.

425
00:34:28,550 --> 00:34:30,142
Hasn't stopped your looking.

426
00:34:35,357 --> 00:34:38,224
Heard about a booking.
Nice little theater.

427
00:34:38,294 --> 00:34:41,127
- Young, up-and-coming magician.
- Who?

428
00:34:41,196 --> 00:34:43,926
- You.
- Me? Booking? Why?

429
00:34:43,999 --> 00:34:46,091
I want to keep on working.

430
00:34:46,167 --> 00:34:49,399
Who's going to hire the ingénieur
that killed Julia McCullough

431
00:34:49,471 --> 00:34:51,598
in front of a sellout crowd
at the Orpheum?

432
00:34:52,374 --> 00:34:54,568
Someone who knows it wasn't your fault.

433
00:34:54,642 --> 00:34:58,135
Someone who knows Alfred Borden
and his repertoire of exotic knots.

434
00:34:58,212 --> 00:35:01,739
I hear he had a spot of bad luck
catching a bullet south of the river.

435
00:35:01,816 --> 00:35:04,614
That's a dangerous trick, that one.

436
00:35:09,823 --> 00:35:11,792
We'll have to whitewash the windows,

437
00:35:11,859 --> 00:35:15,555
confound the more curious
members of the public, but it will do.

438
00:35:17,398 --> 00:35:21,026
- We should see about an assistant.
- I've made some arrangements.

439
00:35:21,935 --> 00:35:23,698
You settled on a name?

440
00:35:24,604 --> 00:35:26,265
Yes, I have.

441
00:35:26,340 --> 00:35:28,205
The Great Danton.

442
00:35:28,275 --> 00:35:30,799
It's a bit old-fashioned, isn't it?

443
00:35:32,211 --> 00:35:34,442
No, it's sophisticated.

444
00:35:34,514 --> 00:35:37,278
The birdcage can't be
our climax. Everybody knows it.

445
00:35:37,351 --> 00:35:39,750
- Not like this.
- I don't want to kill doves.

446
00:35:39,820 --> 00:35:41,684
Then stay off the stage.

447
00:35:41,754 --> 00:35:43,450
You're a magician, not a wizard.

448
00:35:43,523 --> 00:35:47,390
You got to get your hands dirty, if
you're going to achieve the impossible.

449
00:35:48,861 --> 00:35:51,227
In here, Miss Wenscombe.

450
00:35:51,297 --> 00:35:55,757
No point in meeting Mr. Angier
if you don't fit. On the right.

451
00:35:58,938 --> 00:36:00,963
- What's so hard about this?
- Nothing.

452
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,565
You're going... down here.

453
00:36:09,382 --> 00:36:12,248
- And this will conceal, right?
- Oh, sure.

454
00:36:12,918 --> 00:36:14,509
- Tighten up on there.
- Yep.

455
00:36:14,586 --> 00:36:15,610
OK.

456
00:36:17,722 --> 00:36:18,780
This ties up here?

457
00:36:18,857 --> 00:36:20,256
- Ties in the back.
- Good.

458
00:36:26,331 --> 00:36:28,526
Breathe as little as possible.

459
00:36:35,039 --> 00:36:37,666
Now, you see?

460
00:36:37,741 --> 00:36:39,140
- That's it.
- OK.

461
00:36:42,579 --> 00:36:44,410
She's not experienced,

462
00:36:44,482 --> 00:36:46,506
but she knows how to present herself.

463
00:36:46,583 --> 00:36:51,179
A pretty assistant is the most
effective form of misdirection.

464
00:36:51,255 --> 00:36:54,622
Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen,
for my final trick,

465
00:36:54,691 --> 00:36:57,455
I will require the assistance
of two volunteers.

466
00:36:57,528 --> 00:36:59,792
Mr. Merrit, if you would oblige me?

467
00:37:01,698 --> 00:37:03,221
Yep.

468
00:37:05,034 --> 00:37:06,729
- Under?
- Under, yeah.

469
00:37:08,304 --> 00:37:09,601
Come around his foot.

470
00:37:09,672 --> 00:37:11,105
- Careful.
- It's all right.

471
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,224
- Your volunteer, put their hand there.
- Yeah?

472
00:37:34,296 --> 00:37:36,127
And another one here.

473
00:37:36,198 --> 00:37:39,725
If you'll place your hands
on either side of the cage, please.

474
00:37:39,801 --> 00:37:41,132
Thank you, Olivia.

475
00:37:41,203 --> 00:37:44,969
You best not be intending
to hurt this animal, Mr. Angier.

476
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,406
- Of course not.
- Ready? Right.

477
00:37:48,175 --> 00:37:50,973
- One...
- Two...

478
00:37:51,712 --> 00:37:52,974
Three.

479
00:37:56,984 --> 00:37:58,781
That's bloody marvelous, Cutter.

480
00:37:59,787 --> 00:38:00,981
Very nice.

481
00:38:01,055 --> 00:38:02,852
And the best part is...

482
00:38:08,229 --> 00:38:10,662
I thought you said I had
to get my hands dirty.

483
00:38:10,730 --> 00:38:12,631
Someday, perhaps you will.

484
00:38:12,700 --> 00:38:14,258
I just had to know that you can.

485
00:38:14,335 --> 00:38:16,268
Very nice. Very nice, indeed.

486
00:38:16,337 --> 00:38:19,999
I haven't had the chance to compliment
you on your beautiful theater.

487
00:38:20,073 --> 00:38:22,439
It'll be a lot more
beautiful when it's full.

488
00:38:22,510 --> 00:38:23,498
Don't worry.

489
00:38:23,576 --> 00:38:25,806
You all say that. Why should I worry?

490
00:38:25,879 --> 00:38:28,746
If your tricks don't get them
in, somebody else's will.

491
00:38:28,815 --> 00:38:32,911
Maybe somebody willing
to do a bullet catch or a water escape?

492
00:38:32,986 --> 00:38:34,544
Cheap thrills, Mr. Merrit.

493
00:38:34,621 --> 00:38:38,284
People hoping for an accident,
likely to see one too.

494
00:38:38,358 --> 00:38:40,348
What would that do for your business?

495
00:38:40,426 --> 00:38:43,292
You got a week, John.

496
00:38:43,363 --> 00:38:46,730
Thank you, Mr. Merrit.

497
00:38:54,707 --> 00:38:56,071
Thank you.

498
00:38:57,876 --> 00:39:01,505
Uh... Sir, in the third row there.

499
00:39:01,580 --> 00:39:04,275
Please stand up
and show us your handkerchief.

500
00:39:06,285 --> 00:39:08,081
This isn't mine.

501
00:39:08,152 --> 00:39:11,610
Perhaps you'd return it to the lady
in the aisle of the second row.

502
00:39:11,689 --> 00:39:13,987
I believe she has yours.

503
00:39:20,331 --> 00:39:24,995
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm making
so many mistakes. I'm so nervous.

504
00:39:25,069 --> 00:39:27,333
The audience doesn't seem
to be responding.

505
00:39:27,405 --> 00:39:29,635
They've seen a lot of tricks before,

506
00:39:29,707 --> 00:39:32,197
but not this next one.

507
00:39:41,251 --> 00:39:43,014
Cloth over.

508
00:39:43,086 --> 00:39:44,849
Keep your fingers crossed.

509
00:39:44,921 --> 00:39:47,185
I'll have the champagne ready.

510
00:40:01,670 --> 00:40:04,969
- You've seen this one before?
- We've seen them all before.

511
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,168
I'll make it a little
harder then, shall I?

512
00:40:07,243 --> 00:40:10,211
Two volunteers, please.
A lady and a gentlemen.

513
00:40:10,279 --> 00:40:13,476
To hold this cage with me.

514
00:40:13,549 --> 00:40:15,516
I'll perform this feat in a manner

515
00:40:15,584 --> 00:40:20,112
never before seen by yourselves or any
other audience anywhere in the worid.

516
00:40:22,590 --> 00:40:25,219
Madame, place one hand
on the back of the cage,

517
00:40:25,294 --> 00:40:26,817
one hand on the front.

518
00:40:26,895 --> 00:40:29,260
Sir, one hand on the bottom of the cage

519
00:40:29,330 --> 00:40:30,855
one hand on the top.

520
00:40:44,343 --> 00:40:47,244
- I should've spotted him.
- You had a lot of plates going.

521
00:40:47,313 --> 00:40:49,473
- Don't suppose we can do this again.
- No.

522
00:40:49,547 --> 00:40:51,981
- So, what's the climax of our show?
- Show?

523
00:40:52,051 --> 00:40:55,178
- You don't have a show.
- We have a week's engagement.

524
00:40:55,253 --> 00:40:58,848
To perform magic, not butcher birds
and break my customers' fingers.

525
00:40:58,923 --> 00:41:01,619
Clear out, anything here
in the morning gets burned.

526
00:41:01,693 --> 00:41:04,127
- Mr. Merrit...
- It's done, John.

527
00:41:04,195 --> 00:41:06,993
I've hired a comedian.
You know I hate comedians.

528
00:41:09,133 --> 00:41:11,624
Well, there's
plenty of good theaters.

529
00:41:11,703 --> 00:41:14,536
If we can come up with a new trick,

530
00:41:14,606 --> 00:41:17,836
- change the name of the act.
- The name stays.

531
00:41:19,676 --> 00:41:24,808
Right, well, then the new trick's
gonna have to be irresistible then.

532
00:41:24,883 --> 00:41:26,908
I have a couple of methods to try out.

533
00:41:26,984 --> 00:41:30,215
And then we need a new angle
on the presentation.

534
00:41:30,287 --> 00:41:32,118
And if you need some inspiration,

535
00:41:32,189 --> 00:41:35,352
there's a technical exposition
at the Albert Hall this week.

536
00:41:35,425 --> 00:41:38,154
Engineers, scientists, you know?

537
00:41:38,227 --> 00:41:41,526
That sort of thing captures
the public's imagination.

538
00:41:58,581 --> 00:42:01,982
Mind if I join you? Tesla sends
me down here during the storms.

539
00:42:02,051 --> 00:42:05,281
Perfect excuse to come join
the Great Danton for a drink.

540
00:42:06,254 --> 00:42:08,655
Two of them.

541
00:42:08,723 --> 00:42:11,351
Beautiful, isn't it?
God, I miss New York, though.

542
00:42:11,426 --> 00:42:13,861
- Why are you here?
- The lightning lives here.

543
00:42:13,930 --> 00:42:15,556
And not much else.

544
00:42:15,630 --> 00:42:17,155
Our work is secret.

545
00:42:17,799 --> 00:42:19,699
That a cipher?

546
00:42:21,803 --> 00:42:24,931
A rotating transposition
that shifts every day of the diary.

547
00:42:25,006 --> 00:42:28,999
Simple but time-consuming to translate,
even with the five-letter keyword.

548
00:42:29,077 --> 00:42:30,806
Which is?

549
00:42:30,879 --> 00:42:32,869
We magicians have a circle of trust.

550
00:42:32,948 --> 00:42:37,043
You have a circle of trust
with someone whose diary you stole?

551
00:42:37,117 --> 00:42:38,881
Maybe I bought it.

552
00:42:38,954 --> 00:42:41,683
And you're hoping to find
a great secret in there?

553
00:42:41,755 --> 00:42:44,054
I've already found it.

554
00:42:44,124 --> 00:42:45,523
That's why I'm here.

555
00:42:51,732 --> 00:42:54,360
Tesla built one for another magician.

556
00:42:54,435 --> 00:42:56,198
Why would you want the same thing?

557
00:42:56,270 --> 00:42:58,260
Call it a professional rivalry.

558
00:42:58,339 --> 00:43:02,469
Mr. Tesla has built unusual
machines for unusual people.

559
00:43:03,476 --> 00:43:06,571
- But he would never talk about it.
- I understand discretion.

560
00:43:06,646 --> 00:43:07,943
I just want the machine.

561
00:43:11,284 --> 00:43:12,945
Finish your drink.

562
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,616
I want to show you something.
I think you'll have

563
00:43:16,689 --> 00:43:18,919
a special appreciation for our work.

564
00:43:18,992 --> 00:43:22,450
- I thought it was a secret.
- You're a magician.

565
00:43:22,527 --> 00:43:24,256
Who's gonna believe you?

566
00:43:25,430 --> 00:43:27,625
Not long now.

567
00:43:27,699 --> 00:43:30,167
Our equipment requires
a great deal of current.

568
00:43:30,235 --> 00:43:31,964
Tesla electrified the whole town

569
00:43:32,037 --> 00:43:35,097
in exchange for using the
generators when we need them.

570
00:43:36,308 --> 00:43:39,505
We do our tests when
the townspeople are asleep.

571
00:43:39,578 --> 00:43:42,274
Mr. Tesla doesn't want
to scare anyone.

572
00:44:00,097 --> 00:44:02,122
Where are the wires?

573
00:44:03,501 --> 00:44:04,763
Exactly.

574
00:44:13,978 --> 00:44:16,673
Where's the generator?

575
00:44:16,746 --> 00:44:18,180
You saw it last week.

576
00:44:18,249 --> 00:44:21,343
- That must be ten miles from here.
- Fifteen.

577
00:44:21,419 --> 00:44:25,514
And I have to ride all of them
before I get to bed.

578
00:44:25,588 --> 00:44:28,284
I'll send word for you
in a few days, Mr. Angier.

579
00:44:28,358 --> 00:44:32,454
Magic. Real magic.

580
00:44:32,529 --> 00:44:34,656
Now appearing, only here
at London's Royal Albert Hall,

581
00:44:36,700 --> 00:44:38,998
one of the miracles of our age.

582
00:44:39,069 --> 00:44:43,665
A technological marvel. You've never
seen anything like it in your lives.

583
00:44:43,740 --> 00:44:46,470
Your eyes will not believe
what they're witnessing.

584
00:44:46,543 --> 00:44:49,409
The miracle of Nikola Tesla,
ladies and gentlemen.

585
00:44:49,478 --> 00:44:51,969
Free, clean power.
Like to know the future?

586
00:44:52,047 --> 00:44:55,108
The man who's speaking right now
is going to change the worid.

587
00:44:55,185 --> 00:44:59,553
Come one, come all.
Immediate seating, no waiting.

588
00:45:14,670 --> 00:45:15,897
Ladies and gentlemen,

589
00:45:18,005 --> 00:45:19,836
Objections have been raised...

590
00:45:19,907 --> 00:45:23,343
They should be raised.
Does that look safe to you?

591
00:45:23,411 --> 00:45:25,971
Part of Thomas Edison's smear campaign

592
00:45:26,047 --> 00:45:31,747
against Mr. Tesla's
superior alternating current.

593
00:45:31,819 --> 00:45:34,651
We have asked Mr. Tesla
to reconsider.

594
00:45:34,722 --> 00:45:37,212
Which he will not!

595
00:45:37,290 --> 00:45:42,456
But I've been told he refuses
to appear under any such restrictions.

596
00:45:42,529 --> 00:45:45,090
This thing's gonna blow.

597
00:45:46,433 --> 00:45:48,868
Ladies and gentlemen, please.

598
00:46:27,573 --> 00:46:28,699
Hey.

599
00:46:30,943 --> 00:46:33,377
Hello, Jess.

600
00:46:35,848 --> 00:46:39,648
Have you had a nice day
with mommy? Huh?

601
00:46:40,585 --> 00:46:42,610
Sarah.

602
00:46:42,687 --> 00:46:45,588
- I love you.
- See, today it's true.

603
00:46:45,657 --> 00:46:48,216
- Yeah.
- Hello.

604
00:46:50,128 --> 00:46:52,494
I saw happiness.

605
00:46:52,564 --> 00:46:55,191
Happiness that should have been mine.

606
00:46:55,265 --> 00:46:57,290
But I was wrong.

607
00:46:57,367 --> 00:47:01,997
His notebook reveals that
he never had the life that I envied.

608
00:47:02,072 --> 00:47:04,701
The family life
that he craves one minute,

609
00:47:04,776 --> 00:47:09,075
he rails against the next,
demanding freedom.

610
00:47:09,146 --> 00:47:12,138
His mind... his mind is a divided one.

611
00:47:12,215 --> 00:47:13,649
His soul is restless.

612
00:47:13,717 --> 00:47:15,844
His wife and child, tormented

613
00:47:15,919 --> 00:47:19,877
by his fickle and contradictory nature.

614
00:47:24,094 --> 00:47:26,584
So, what do you think you'll call her?

615
00:47:26,662 --> 00:47:28,027
I don't know.

616
00:47:28,097 --> 00:47:30,395
Everybody needs a name, so, what's hers?

617
00:47:31,300 --> 00:47:33,097
Maybe Sarah.

618
00:47:35,471 --> 00:47:37,871
That's a lovely name.
That's a lovely name.

619
00:47:37,940 --> 00:47:41,170
Well, you talk about what you want
to do for the rest of the day.

620
00:47:41,243 --> 00:47:43,109
All right, go on, you talk with her.

621
00:47:45,548 --> 00:47:49,813
Are they taking her away?

622
00:47:49,885 --> 00:47:51,785
To the workhouse?

623
00:47:54,624 --> 00:47:56,114
You keep talking.

624
00:47:58,828 --> 00:48:01,227
Tell Owens I've reconsidered. Take it.

625
00:48:01,296 --> 00:48:03,093
Go on, take it.

626
00:48:06,668 --> 00:48:08,795
It's for the best.

627
00:48:13,608 --> 00:48:16,201
Let me see.

628
00:48:16,277 --> 00:48:18,905
I'm gonna learn
all the professor's secrets.

629
00:48:18,979 --> 00:48:22,415
Only if I teach you how to read.

630
00:48:22,484 --> 00:48:24,850
They're just stupid tricks, right?

631
00:48:24,919 --> 00:48:28,150
Haven't helped you
get out of here, have they?

632
00:48:28,222 --> 00:48:31,555
Or can't you undo real locks, professor?

633
00:48:32,926 --> 00:48:35,588
Maybe I'm just biding my time.

634
00:48:35,662 --> 00:48:38,154
Maybe one day I'll...

635
00:48:38,232 --> 00:48:40,859
open my hand, get your attention,

636
00:48:40,934 --> 00:48:43,835
ask, "Are you watching closely?"

637
00:48:43,903 --> 00:48:45,997
Maybe a magic whirl or two.

638
00:48:48,609 --> 00:48:50,440
And then I'll be gone.

639
00:48:54,048 --> 00:48:57,107
How'd you get so famous then?

640
00:48:58,017 --> 00:48:59,746
Magic.

641
00:49:02,220 --> 00:49:05,088
Oi! Borden, get back here!

642
00:49:05,158 --> 00:49:06,715
Thank you.

643
00:49:06,793 --> 00:49:08,760
Shut up!

644
00:49:12,065 --> 00:49:14,157
Where's the bloody key?

645
00:49:20,772 --> 00:49:23,240
February 8, 1899.

646
00:49:23,308 --> 00:49:25,435
Today, finally, a breakthrough.

647
00:49:25,510 --> 00:49:28,240
Tesla's agreed to see me.

648
00:49:35,987 --> 00:49:37,148
Perfectly safe.

649
00:49:58,676 --> 00:50:02,442
So this is the Great Danton.

650
00:50:02,513 --> 00:50:07,108
Mr. Alley has effused about your act
to me on any number of occasions.

651
00:50:08,953 --> 00:50:10,510
Hold out other hand.

652
00:50:19,095 --> 00:50:22,895
- What's conducting the electricity?
- Our bodies, Mr. Angier.

653
00:50:22,966 --> 00:50:27,164
Quite capable of conducting
and, indeed, producing energy.

654
00:50:28,705 --> 00:50:30,763
Have you eaten, Mr. Angier?

655
00:50:32,674 --> 00:50:35,837
I need something impossible.

656
00:50:37,614 --> 00:50:42,380
You're familiar with the phrase,
"Man's reach exceeds his grasp"?

657
00:50:42,451 --> 00:50:44,146
Is a lie.

658
00:50:44,219 --> 00:50:46,244
Man's grasp exceeds his nerve.

659
00:50:47,456 --> 00:50:50,323
Society only tolerates
one change at a time.

660
00:50:51,793 --> 00:50:55,058
First time I tried to change the worid,

661
00:50:55,129 --> 00:50:56,892
I was hailed as a visionary.

662
00:50:57,398 --> 00:50:59,525
Second time...

663
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,626
I was asked politely to retire.

664
00:51:03,771 --> 00:51:07,298
So here I am, enjoying my retirement.

665
00:51:07,375 --> 00:51:11,243
Nothing is impossible, Mr. Angier.
What you want is simply expensive.

666
00:51:11,312 --> 00:51:13,542
If I were to build for you this machine,

667
00:51:13,614 --> 00:51:16,673
you would be presenting it
merely as illusion?

668
00:51:16,751 --> 00:51:20,083
Well, if people actually
believed the things I did on stage,

669
00:51:20,153 --> 00:51:22,553
they wouldn't clap, they'd scream.

670
00:51:22,622 --> 00:51:24,614
Think of sawing a woman in half.

671
00:51:24,691 --> 00:51:27,023
Have you considered the cost of this?

672
00:51:27,094 --> 00:51:29,029
Price is not an object.

673
00:51:29,096 --> 00:51:33,055
Perhaps not, but have you
considered the cost?

674
00:51:34,034 --> 00:51:35,365
I'm not sure I follow.

675
00:51:36,436 --> 00:51:38,267
Go home, forget this thing.

676
00:51:38,338 --> 00:51:40,533
I can recognize an obsession.

677
00:51:40,607 --> 00:51:44,634
- No good will come of it.
- Hasn't good come of your obsessions?

678
00:51:44,711 --> 00:51:47,941
At first, but I have
followed them too long.

679
00:51:48,013 --> 00:51:49,947
I am their slave.

680
00:51:50,015 --> 00:51:53,109
And one day,
they will choose to destroy me.

681
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:59,357
If you understand an obsession, then
you know you won't change my mind.

682
00:52:00,292 --> 00:52:01,281
So be it.

683
00:52:02,795 --> 00:52:04,126
Will you build it?

684
00:52:05,097 --> 00:52:08,658
I've already begun
to build it, Mr. Angier.

685
00:52:08,734 --> 00:52:12,726
I hope you enjoy the mountain air.
This will take some time.

686
00:52:36,661 --> 00:52:39,356
Uh... I thought you'd gone.

687
00:52:40,498 --> 00:52:42,965
I don't really have anywhere to go.

688
00:52:44,936 --> 00:52:46,836
You've been sleeping here?

689
00:52:46,904 --> 00:52:51,637
Cutter said it'd be all right till we
get another booking. What are you doing?

690
00:52:51,708 --> 00:52:53,938
Uh... research.

691
00:52:54,011 --> 00:52:55,444
Part of a magician's job

692
00:52:55,512 --> 00:52:58,378
is to... watch his competition,
see what illusions...

693
00:52:58,448 --> 00:53:01,382
You're going to do something
to that man, aren't you?

694
00:53:01,450 --> 00:53:03,316
Cutter's hoping you let things lie.

695
00:53:03,386 --> 00:53:06,254
He says if Borden thinks
things are even between you...

696
00:53:06,323 --> 00:53:08,154
Even?

697
00:53:08,225 --> 00:53:10,784
My wife for a couple of his fingers?

698
00:53:10,861 --> 00:53:13,954
He has a family now
and he's performing again.

699
00:53:14,030 --> 00:53:16,863
Borden is out there living
his life just as he intended,

700
00:53:16,933 --> 00:53:19,629
as if nothing had happened
and look at me.

701
00:53:19,702 --> 00:53:22,193
I'm alone and no theater will touch me.

702
00:53:22,271 --> 00:53:23,863
Us.

703
00:53:23,939 --> 00:53:26,305
You're going to need a better disguise.

704
00:53:43,825 --> 00:53:46,020
I need a volunteer.

705
00:53:46,094 --> 00:53:47,561
What happened?

706
00:53:48,563 --> 00:53:50,394
Did you hurt him?

707
00:53:52,300 --> 00:53:53,597
What happened, Robert?

708
00:53:56,004 --> 00:53:59,963
You, sir. Just a rubber ball, yes?

709
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:01,133
Thank you.

710
00:54:01,209 --> 00:54:03,802
Just a rubber ball? No.

711
00:54:03,877 --> 00:54:07,074
Not normal. Not a normal rubber ball.

712
00:54:07,147 --> 00:54:08,273
It's magic.

713
00:54:09,083 --> 00:54:11,142
He had a new trick.

714
00:54:25,164 --> 00:54:26,723
Was it good?

715
00:54:31,104 --> 00:54:35,064
It was the greatest
magic trick I've ever seen.

716
00:54:38,978 --> 00:54:41,105
Did they applaud
when you saw it?

717
00:54:41,180 --> 00:54:45,047
It was too good. It was too simple.
The audience hardly had time to see it.

718
00:54:45,117 --> 00:54:47,985
- He's a dreadful magician.
- A wonderful magician.

719
00:54:48,054 --> 00:54:50,578
He's a dreadful showman.
He doesn't dress it up,

720
00:54:50,656 --> 00:54:52,487
- how to sell it.
- How does he do it?

721
00:54:52,557 --> 00:54:54,582
- He uses a double.
- No, it's too simple.

722
00:54:54,660 --> 00:54:56,150
This is a complex illusion.

723
00:54:56,228 --> 00:54:58,628
You say that because
you don't know the method.

724
00:54:58,698 --> 00:55:01,097
It's a double that comes out.
It's the only way.

725
00:55:01,166 --> 00:55:05,068
I've seen him perform it three times.
The prestige is the same man.

726
00:55:05,137 --> 00:55:08,664
- No, it's not.
- The same man comes out of the cabinet.

727
00:55:08,740 --> 00:55:11,004
It's the same man.

728
00:55:11,076 --> 00:55:13,772
He wears padded gloves
to hide his damaged fingers,

729
00:55:13,845 --> 00:55:16,438
but, if you look closely, you can tell.

730
00:55:18,149 --> 00:55:21,017
He doesn't know how to sell it
to an audience, but I do.

731
00:55:21,086 --> 00:55:23,519
Yeah, we could use it
as a climax to the show.

732
00:55:23,587 --> 00:55:25,987
Yes.

733
00:55:26,057 --> 00:55:29,254
The man stole my life,
I'm gonna steal his trick.

734
00:55:29,327 --> 00:55:31,488
We got to find someone
who looks like you.

735
00:55:31,562 --> 00:55:35,089
- He doesn't use a double.
- I don't know how Borden does it.

736
00:55:35,165 --> 00:55:39,659
Either... You either wait for him
to retire and buy the secret,

737
00:55:39,737 --> 00:55:41,533
or you listen to how I would do it.

738
00:55:41,604 --> 00:55:44,129
And the only way
that I know how to do it

739
00:55:44,208 --> 00:55:46,676
is to find you a bloody good double.

740
00:55:47,677 --> 00:55:49,076
All right.

741
00:55:50,513 --> 00:55:53,004
Take a good look.
Let's get out there and find me.

742
00:55:53,083 --> 00:55:55,210
Whoo!

743
00:55:55,285 --> 00:55:56,775
Look, look.

744
00:56:01,324 --> 00:56:02,848
What's that?

745
00:56:06,195 --> 00:56:08,493
- It's for you.
- What's this for?

746
00:56:09,132 --> 00:56:10,963
Come.

747
00:56:14,103 --> 00:56:15,866
You...

748
00:56:15,938 --> 00:56:19,965
- I asked you last week...
- You caught me in a wrong mood.

749
00:56:20,042 --> 00:56:22,237
- But you won't ever...
- Sarah,

750
00:56:22,311 --> 00:56:25,474
I'm gonna have
to change my mind, aren't I?

751
00:56:25,547 --> 00:56:30,211
The act is taking off. Soon we'll be in
a bigger theater, things will work out.

752
00:56:32,788 --> 00:56:36,587
I can't believe it. Thank you.
Thank you. It's beautiful.

753
00:56:43,231 --> 00:56:46,325
- Gerry?
- Darling, look at you.

754
00:56:46,401 --> 00:56:49,370
Mr. Cutter, Mr. Angier,
I'd like you to meet Gerald Root.

755
00:56:49,436 --> 00:56:51,598
Mm-hm.

756
00:56:54,441 --> 00:56:58,378
A pleasure. Pleasure
to meet you fine gentlemen.

757
00:56:58,445 --> 00:57:02,176
Would you like for me
to tell you a little joke? Come here.

758
00:57:05,218 --> 00:57:08,313
Yes. Are you laughing now?

759
00:57:11,758 --> 00:57:13,385
I have to take a piss.

760
00:57:14,795 --> 00:57:17,889
- He's out of his mind.
- Of course, he's an out-of-work actor.

761
00:57:17,964 --> 00:57:19,864
He's perfect. He needs a little help.

762
00:57:19,933 --> 00:57:22,901
But when I get done with him,
he could be your brother.

763
00:57:22,969 --> 00:57:25,562
I don't need him to be my
brother, I need him to be me.

764
00:57:25,638 --> 00:57:27,334
Give me a month.

765
00:57:34,113 --> 00:57:36,741
So you open the door...

766
00:57:36,816 --> 00:57:38,283
and...

767
00:57:45,658 --> 00:57:47,420
Come on.

768
00:57:51,129 --> 00:57:53,064
Couldn't you have found a softer one?

769
00:57:53,131 --> 00:57:55,463
Well, it's not for sleeping on.

770
00:57:55,534 --> 00:57:57,592
So, if you come down through there...

771
00:58:00,271 --> 00:58:03,297
does Root go up through there?
- Yep.

772
00:58:03,374 --> 00:58:05,433
It's going to be amazing.

773
00:58:05,510 --> 00:58:08,968
Well, it has to be. Borden's
trick is getting noticed.

774
00:58:11,816 --> 00:58:14,182
The place was packed today.

775
00:58:15,786 --> 00:58:17,584
You went and saw his show again.

776
00:58:17,655 --> 00:58:20,089
Ready to meet yourself, Mr. Angier?

777
00:58:28,465 --> 00:58:30,797
All I have to do is
keep myself stinking drunk,

778
00:58:30,868 --> 00:58:33,200
and no one will be able
to tell the difference.

779
00:58:33,269 --> 00:58:35,363
Have a little faith, sir.

780
00:58:35,439 --> 00:58:39,341
Now, would you favor us
with a performance, Mr. Root?

781
00:59:00,096 --> 00:59:04,260
You'd drink, too, if you knew
the worid half as well as I do.

782
00:59:07,970 --> 00:59:09,664
Did you think you were unique?

783
00:59:09,738 --> 00:59:12,435
I've been Caesar, I've played Faust.

784
00:59:12,508 --> 00:59:15,601
How difficult could it possibly
be to play the Great Danton?

785
00:59:15,677 --> 00:59:18,806
You can go back to being
yourself now, Root, for nothing.

786
00:59:18,881 --> 00:59:21,144
I'd rather be him for now.

787
00:59:21,216 --> 00:59:23,980
I find it, uh... amusing.

788
00:59:27,422 --> 00:59:29,150
"My liege,

789
00:59:29,223 --> 00:59:32,557
I did deny no prisoners."

790
00:59:32,627 --> 00:59:34,787
- You look wonderful.
- Oh, thank you.

791
00:59:34,862 --> 00:59:38,127
Root has to keep a low profile.
Anyone sees him, the game's up.

792
00:59:38,199 --> 00:59:40,997
I don't know how you do things.
I'm not sure I wanna know.

793
00:59:41,069 --> 00:59:43,400
Have you thought what we should call it?

794
00:59:43,470 --> 00:59:47,634
There's no point being coy. Borden
calls his trick The Transported Man.

795
00:59:51,545 --> 00:59:54,708
Ladies and gentlemen, much
of what you've seen may be termed

796
00:59:54,782 --> 00:59:58,547
as illusions or entertaining trifles.

797
01:00:03,223 --> 01:00:04,280
Alas...

798
01:00:06,460 --> 01:00:08,984
I cannot claim
this next feat as illusion.

799
01:00:09,896 --> 01:00:11,090
Watch carefully.

800
01:00:12,532 --> 01:00:14,966
You will see no trickery,

801
01:00:15,034 --> 01:00:18,128
for no trickery is employed.

802
01:00:18,204 --> 01:00:21,570
Merely a technique familiar
to certain citizens of the Orient

803
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:23,802
and various holy men of the Himalayas.

804
01:00:27,079 --> 01:00:30,105
Indeed, many of you may be
familiar with this technique,

805
01:00:30,182 --> 01:00:33,346
but for those of you who
are not, do not be alarmed.

806
01:00:33,419 --> 01:00:36,478
What you're about to see
is considered safe.

807
01:01:08,052 --> 01:01:11,112
To our achievement.

808
01:01:11,188 --> 01:01:13,952
The manager says he's
never seen a reaction like it.

809
01:01:14,025 --> 01:01:17,324
At least he saw it. I spent
the ovation hiding under the stage.

810
01:01:17,395 --> 01:01:19,727
No one cares about
the man who disappears.

811
01:01:19,796 --> 01:01:21,788
They care about the one who comes out.

812
01:01:21,865 --> 01:01:23,924
I care about the man in the box.

813
01:01:24,001 --> 01:01:28,301
Thank you. I don't know,
maybe we could switch before the trick.

814
01:01:28,372 --> 01:01:30,532
I'm the prestige,
and Root's below stage.

815
01:01:30,607 --> 01:01:33,542
No, the anticipation
of the trick is everything.

816
01:01:33,610 --> 01:01:36,670
We need your showmanship
to build up the suspense.

817
01:01:36,746 --> 01:01:40,306
Once Root opens his mouth, it's over.
He can't introduce this trick.

818
01:01:40,383 --> 01:01:43,112
Of course I can. I'm the Great Danton.

819
01:01:43,185 --> 01:01:46,781
Root, you bloody fool,
get out of that wardrobe and makeup.

820
01:01:46,856 --> 01:01:49,518
Anyone could walk in here at any minute.

821
01:01:49,592 --> 01:01:51,650
Congratulations, all.

822
01:01:51,727 --> 01:01:55,425
Life is not full of these
moments. We worked hard.

823
01:01:55,498 --> 01:01:57,158
We need to celebrate properly.

824
01:02:00,903 --> 01:02:03,371
What's wrong? Is it your wife?

825
01:02:03,439 --> 01:02:05,737
No, it's the trick.
It isn't good enough.

826
01:02:05,808 --> 01:02:09,141
Borden's trick is nothing
compared to ours. He has no style.

827
01:02:09,210 --> 01:02:13,079
He doesn't spend the finale
hiding under the stage.

828
01:02:13,148 --> 01:02:16,048
- I need to know how he does it.
- Why?

829
01:02:16,117 --> 01:02:18,608
So I can do it better.

830
01:02:20,689 --> 01:02:23,157
I need you to go and work for him.

831
01:02:26,194 --> 01:02:27,923
Work for him? Are you joking?

832
01:02:29,197 --> 01:02:30,391
You'll be my spy.

833
01:02:30,465 --> 01:02:32,660
We just got our start.
You want me to leave?

834
01:02:32,734 --> 01:02:34,827
That's how we advance. Think of it.

835
01:02:34,902 --> 01:02:38,099
People are excited by Cutter's
version. Imagine what we'd do

836
01:02:38,172 --> 01:02:42,608
with the real illusion. We'd have the
greatest magic act anyone's ever seen.

837
01:02:42,676 --> 01:02:46,442
- He knows I work for you.
- Exactly why he'll want to hire you.

838
01:02:46,513 --> 01:02:49,073
- He'll want my secret.
- Why would he trust me?

839
01:02:49,149 --> 01:02:51,845
Because you're
gonna tell him the truth.

840
01:02:54,755 --> 01:02:56,586
Hmm?

841
01:03:04,131 --> 01:03:05,257
Good girl.

842
01:03:08,434 --> 01:03:11,962
You must be curious to see what
so much money has bought you.

843
01:03:12,638 --> 01:03:15,539
Fitting you should be here
for her maiden voyage.

844
01:03:15,608 --> 01:03:17,439
Your hat.

845
01:03:25,383 --> 01:03:27,978
You might want to stand back.

846
01:03:48,439 --> 01:03:49,565
I don't understand.

847
01:03:49,641 --> 01:03:51,973
Perhaps it would be best
if you left us to it.

848
01:03:52,042 --> 01:03:53,670
Is there a problem, Mr. Tesla?

849
01:03:53,745 --> 01:03:55,770
- No. Come back next week.
- Next week?

850
01:03:55,846 --> 01:03:58,406
- Next week, it will be fine.
- Tesla!

851
01:03:58,482 --> 01:04:00,211
Just a little temperamental.

852
01:04:06,056 --> 01:04:08,957
- Interesting workshop.
- Yeah, we make do.

853
01:04:09,026 --> 01:04:11,187
- My name is Olivia...
- I know who you are.

854
01:04:11,261 --> 01:04:12,922
Here to steal the rest of my show?

855
01:04:12,996 --> 01:04:14,895
To give your show what it's missing.

856
01:04:14,965 --> 01:04:18,196
- Yeah, what might that be?
- Me.

857
01:04:18,268 --> 01:04:22,727
I was just
saying that, wasn't I?

858
01:04:22,805 --> 01:04:25,104
- A woman's touch.
- I've left Angier.

859
01:04:25,174 --> 01:04:27,234
- All right.
- I want a job.

860
01:04:27,310 --> 01:04:28,641
Yeah.

861
01:04:28,711 --> 01:04:30,542
I know you've no reason to trust me.

862
01:04:30,613 --> 01:04:32,171
Why wouldn't I trust you?

863
01:04:32,248 --> 01:04:35,684
You're only the mistress of my
enemy. Why wouldn't I trust you?

864
01:04:37,353 --> 01:04:39,287
- Mr. Borden.
- Alfred.

865
01:04:41,724 --> 01:04:43,384
I'm going to tell you the truth.

866
01:04:43,458 --> 01:04:45,689
Now that is a slippery notion

867
01:04:45,761 --> 01:04:48,092
in our line of work,
isn't it, Miss Wenscombe?

868
01:04:50,198 --> 01:04:52,861
I am here because he sent me here.

869
01:04:52,935 --> 01:04:55,403
He wants me to work for you
and steal your secret.

870
01:04:55,470 --> 01:04:58,837
What does he need my secret for?
His trick is topnotch.

871
01:04:58,907 --> 01:05:01,501
He vanishes,
and then he reappears instantly

872
01:05:01,577 --> 01:05:04,068
on the other side
of the stage, mute, overweight

873
01:05:04,145 --> 01:05:06,705
and, unless I'm mistaken, very drunk.

874
01:05:06,781 --> 01:05:10,273
It's astonishing. How does
he do it? And tell me, Olivia,

875
01:05:10,352 --> 01:05:13,810
does he enjoy taking his bows
under the stage?

876
01:05:13,889 --> 01:05:17,188
It's killing him. He's obsessed
with discovering your methods.

877
01:05:17,259 --> 01:05:20,318
He thinks of nothing else,
takes no pleasure in our success.

878
01:05:20,394 --> 01:05:21,884
And I've had enough.

879
01:05:21,963 --> 01:05:24,362
There is no future with him.

880
01:05:25,499 --> 01:05:29,230
He sent me here to steal your secrets,
but I've come to offer you his.

881
01:05:29,303 --> 01:05:33,205
This is the truth... is it?

882
01:05:37,745 --> 01:05:40,043
Think you'd better get dressed, sir.

883
01:05:40,114 --> 01:05:44,141
Root, you're late and more drunk than
usual. Get down below stairs right away.

884
01:05:44,217 --> 01:05:45,947
No.

885
01:05:46,020 --> 01:05:49,386
No, we need to have
a little chat, Mr. Cutter.

886
01:05:49,456 --> 01:05:53,789
We have a problem. Cutter, Borden
is performing right across the street.

887
01:05:53,860 --> 01:05:57,125
Yeah, we have a bigger problem.

888
01:05:57,196 --> 01:06:00,188
Root. He's realized
that he can make demands.

889
01:06:00,265 --> 01:06:02,359
Wha...? He's blackmailing us?

890
01:06:02,435 --> 01:06:04,403
I was surprised, to tell you the truth.

891
01:06:04,470 --> 01:06:07,064
It usually takes them
a lot longer to figure it out.

892
01:06:07,140 --> 01:06:09,700
- How much does he want?
- It makes no difference.

893
01:06:09,776 --> 01:06:13,234
- We've got to stop doing the trick.
- Stop the trick? Look at this.

894
01:06:13,313 --> 01:06:19,148
Last week they said you were
the premier stage performer in London.

895
01:06:19,217 --> 01:06:22,584
Not magician, mind you.
Performer of any kind.

896
01:06:22,654 --> 01:06:25,885
- What's your point?
- My point is, you've climbed too high

897
01:06:25,958 --> 01:06:28,391
to get away with
professional embarrassment.

898
01:06:28,460 --> 01:06:31,827
We don't do any tricks we can't control.

899
01:06:33,998 --> 01:06:37,297
Just pay him for now. We keep
doing the trick until Borden opens,

900
01:06:37,368 --> 01:06:39,337
and then we'll phase it out.

901
01:06:40,238 --> 01:06:41,728
All right.

902
01:06:44,509 --> 01:06:46,635
Cutter was always surprised

903
01:06:46,711 --> 01:06:48,611
how fast Root turned bad.

904
01:06:48,679 --> 01:06:53,241
To what do I owe the pleasure
of this rather welcome pint of ale?

905
01:06:53,316 --> 01:06:56,445
- You're the Great Danton, aren't you?
- Sh, sh, sh, sh, sh.

906
01:06:56,520 --> 01:07:00,183
Of course I am, but don't advertise it,
because I'll be mobbed with fans.

907
01:07:00,257 --> 01:07:02,690
We paid him enough
to keep him in beers.

908
01:07:02,759 --> 01:07:04,853
You wouldn't expect him
to rock the boat.

909
01:07:04,928 --> 01:07:07,522
Many of you may be
familiar with this technique,

910
01:07:07,597 --> 01:07:11,089
but for those of you
who aren't, do not be alarmed.

911
01:07:11,168 --> 01:07:14,330
What you're about to see
is considered safe.

912
01:07:14,404 --> 01:07:18,033
- And who are you?
- I am a humble admirer

913
01:07:18,108 --> 01:07:20,702
and a fellow practitioner.

914
01:07:20,777 --> 01:07:23,143
Mmm. Very good.

915
01:07:32,521 --> 01:07:35,354
- Another one?
- Oh, if you insist.

916
01:07:35,424 --> 01:07:38,154
- Another.
- I'm not performing tonight.

917
01:07:38,227 --> 01:07:40,252
I'm only doing one show,
but to be frank,

918
01:07:40,329 --> 01:07:42,661
my people pretty much
run things these days.

919
01:07:42,731 --> 01:07:43,925
Get up there.

920
01:07:45,300 --> 01:07:46,358
Get up!

921
01:07:46,435 --> 01:07:49,198
Your illusion, The Transported Man,

922
01:07:49,270 --> 01:07:51,865
I'm not claiming to know your methods,

923
01:07:51,940 --> 01:07:56,138
but I had a similar trick in my act,

924
01:07:56,211 --> 01:07:59,044
and, uh... I used a double.

925
01:07:59,113 --> 01:08:04,312
- Mm, I see, very good.
- Well, it was, and then it went bad.

926
01:08:04,385 --> 01:08:07,786
What I didn't count on was that
when I incorporated this bloke

927
01:08:07,855 --> 01:08:09,948
into my act,

928
01:08:10,024 --> 01:08:12,015
he had complete power over me.

929
01:08:13,161 --> 01:08:14,787
Complete power, you say?

930
01:08:30,777 --> 01:08:32,210
Ohh!

931
01:08:32,279 --> 01:08:37,546
Be very careful giving
someone that power over you.

932
01:08:37,617 --> 01:08:41,951
Huh. Thank you. Um...

933
01:08:42,022 --> 01:08:44,888
Yes, thank you for the warning.

934
01:08:44,957 --> 01:08:47,654
Hmm. Cheers.

935
01:08:49,096 --> 01:08:51,223
I cannot claim
this next feat as illusion.

936
01:08:51,297 --> 01:08:54,664
What you're about to see
is considered safe.

937
01:08:58,971 --> 01:09:00,666
Ahh!

938
01:09:32,904 --> 01:09:37,863
Oh! The Great Danton.

939
01:09:44,081 --> 01:09:45,946
I apologize.

940
01:09:46,016 --> 01:09:49,782
There simply is too much magic...

941
01:09:49,853 --> 01:09:52,617
for my stage at The Pantages

942
01:09:52,690 --> 01:09:54,850
across the street.

943
01:09:58,896 --> 01:10:01,831
Pardon my intrusion.

944
01:10:03,901 --> 01:10:08,303
And go easy on the poor chap.
He does try so very hard.

945
01:10:11,175 --> 01:10:13,608
I don't know how Borden found him.

946
01:10:13,676 --> 01:10:15,576
Kept him under wraps. I was careful.

947
01:10:15,645 --> 01:10:17,306
Yeah, well, he did.

948
01:10:18,481 --> 01:10:20,471
Do you think it was her?

949
01:10:26,721 --> 01:10:29,691
You weren't expecting me?

950
01:10:29,759 --> 01:10:32,489
I expected you sooner.
Your message said afternoon.

951
01:10:32,562 --> 01:10:34,825
It takes a bit for me
to get around these days.

952
01:10:34,896 --> 01:10:38,958
He's taken everything from me.
My wife, my career,

953
01:10:39,034 --> 01:10:40,899
- now you.
- You sent me.

954
01:10:40,969 --> 01:10:44,029
I sent you to steal his secret,
not to improve his act.

955
01:10:44,105 --> 01:10:45,663
- It's my job.
- Or fall in love!

956
01:10:45,740 --> 01:10:48,504
- I did everything you asked!
- Yes? Yes?

957
01:10:48,577 --> 01:10:51,068
- How does he do it?
- Cutter was right, a double.

958
01:10:51,146 --> 01:10:53,375
- 'Course he said that.
- He didn't say it.

959
01:10:53,448 --> 01:10:56,884
I've seen things, makeup, glasses, wigs.
We don't use for the show.

960
01:10:56,952 --> 01:10:59,681
- I've seen it hidden backstage.
- Misdirection.

961
01:10:59,753 --> 01:11:02,449
He leaves them lying
around to make you think that.

962
01:11:02,523 --> 01:11:04,388
He doesn't know when I'm looking.

963
01:11:04,458 --> 01:11:07,690
All the time, Olivia! That's who he is!

964
01:11:07,761 --> 01:11:09,023
That's what it takes!

965
01:11:09,096 --> 01:11:11,530
He lives his act, don't you see?

966
01:11:13,567 --> 01:11:16,934
Just because you're sleeping
with him doesn't mean he trusts you.

967
01:11:17,004 --> 01:11:19,403
You think you can see
everything, don't you?

968
01:11:19,473 --> 01:11:22,305
The Great Danton is a blind fool.

969
01:11:22,376 --> 01:11:23,774
His notebook.

970
01:11:25,144 --> 01:11:27,408
You stole it?

971
01:11:27,480 --> 01:11:29,278
I borrowed it for tonight.

972
01:11:29,350 --> 01:11:31,545
I thought you could translate
some of it...

973
01:11:31,619 --> 01:11:35,679
I can't. No one can. It's a cipher.

974
01:11:35,755 --> 01:11:39,191
Even with the keyword,
it will take months to decode.

975
01:11:39,259 --> 01:11:42,159
- And without the keyword?
- Perhaps never.

976
01:11:42,228 --> 01:11:43,855
- We'll see.
- We will not see.

977
01:11:43,930 --> 01:11:46,865
If I don't get that back by
tomorrow he'll know I took it.

978
01:11:46,933 --> 01:11:49,231
- Leave him.
- I can't. He knows where I live.

979
01:11:50,570 --> 01:11:55,371
This is his diary, Olivia. All of his
secrets are right here in my hands.

980
01:11:56,041 --> 01:11:57,633
It won't bring your wife back.

981
01:11:57,709 --> 01:12:00,405
I don't care about my wife.
I care about his secret.

982
01:12:13,659 --> 01:12:16,388
Look, I'll, um...

983
01:12:16,460 --> 01:12:18,793
I'll go to his workshop
and stage a break-in.

984
01:12:18,864 --> 01:12:22,061
- He'll know you took it.
- Yes, me. Not you.

985
01:12:23,167 --> 01:12:25,159
Understand?

986
01:12:33,611 --> 01:12:34,599
Robert.

987
01:12:37,013 --> 01:12:39,812
I have fallen in love with him.

988
01:12:40,718 --> 01:12:43,185
Then I know how hard
this has been for you.

989
01:12:51,728 --> 01:12:53,218
Notebook?

990
01:12:55,865 --> 01:12:57,856
Then he's just getting started.

991
01:13:27,096 --> 01:13:28,563
Professor!

992
01:13:28,629 --> 01:13:30,119
Good evening.

993
01:13:35,002 --> 01:13:36,629
I'm walking tonight.

994
01:13:36,704 --> 01:13:39,264
Let him come. I don't care.

995
01:13:39,340 --> 01:13:42,037
Professor! Professor!

996
01:15:04,422 --> 01:15:05,855
Ahh!

997
01:15:05,924 --> 01:15:08,483
- You all right?
- I'm alive.

998
01:15:08,560 --> 01:15:10,653
Saves me cutting you an air hole.

999
01:15:24,741 --> 01:15:27,301
- I'm impressed.
- Why is that?

1000
01:15:27,377 --> 01:15:30,346
You're finally getting your hands dirty.

1001
01:15:30,414 --> 01:15:33,315
It's what a good trick costs, Angier.

1002
01:15:33,383 --> 01:15:36,181
Risk, sacrifice.

1003
01:15:36,253 --> 01:15:38,744
The sacrifice, I'm afraid,
is all gonna be yours,

1004
01:15:38,822 --> 01:15:40,449
unless you give me what I want.

1005
01:15:41,825 --> 01:15:43,951
- Which is?
- Your secret.

1006
01:15:44,026 --> 01:15:45,426
My secret?

1007
01:15:45,495 --> 01:15:48,624
Your method for The Transported Man.

1008
01:15:48,699 --> 01:15:51,532
Fallon wouldn't tell me.
He doesn't talk at all.

1009
01:15:51,602 --> 01:15:55,094
- You have my notebook.
- Useless without the keyword.

1010
01:15:56,572 --> 01:16:00,133
Write down your method,
Mr. Borden, describe it in full.

1011
01:16:13,255 --> 01:16:15,621
I want the whole method,
not the keyword.

1012
01:16:15,690 --> 01:16:18,091
I don't know if your secret's
in your notebook.

1013
01:16:18,159 --> 01:16:20,627
The keyword is the method.

1014
01:16:24,634 --> 01:16:25,930
Where's my ingénieur?

1015
01:16:33,073 --> 01:16:35,702
- Alive?
- How fast can you dig?

1016
01:16:38,178 --> 01:16:41,204
Fallon, you hear me? Fallon!

1017
01:16:42,516 --> 01:16:45,178
- How's the arm?
- Still attached.

1018
01:16:46,620 --> 01:16:48,178
Did you find your answer?

1019
01:16:48,255 --> 01:16:52,021
Our answer, Cutter. I haven't
looked yet. I wanted you to share this.

1020
01:16:52,092 --> 01:16:54,526
I already know how he does it, Robert.

1021
01:16:54,595 --> 01:16:57,688
Same way he always has,
the same way as we do.

1022
01:16:57,765 --> 01:17:00,233
It's just that you want something more.

1023
01:17:00,300 --> 01:17:03,065
Well, let's find out then, shall we?

1024
01:17:07,373 --> 01:17:08,806
What does it mean?

1025
01:17:16,649 --> 01:17:19,117
It means, Cutter, we have
a journey ahead of us.

1026
01:17:19,185 --> 01:17:22,051
- To America.
- Robert?

1027
01:17:22,121 --> 01:17:25,090
Listen to me.

1028
01:17:25,158 --> 01:17:28,615
Obsession is a young man's game.

1029
01:17:28,694 --> 01:17:30,219
Come on.

1030
01:17:30,295 --> 01:17:32,763
I can't follow you any further in it.

1031
01:17:33,832 --> 01:17:35,766
I can't, I'm sorry.

1032
01:17:39,871 --> 01:17:41,566
Then the rest is up to me.

1033
01:17:43,642 --> 01:17:45,166
I'm sorry.

1034
01:17:50,482 --> 01:17:54,076
Good evening. Hello, darling.

1035
01:17:54,151 --> 01:17:55,641
Champagne, your finest.

1036
01:17:55,720 --> 01:17:58,417
I didn't know we were going
to be joined for dinner.

1037
01:17:58,490 --> 01:18:00,787
Absolutely, we are celebrating.

1038
01:18:00,858 --> 01:18:02,553
Miss Wenscombe, Mr. Fallon.

1039
01:18:03,562 --> 01:18:06,428
- What are we celebrating?
- We've hit upon a new trick.

1040
01:18:06,497 --> 01:18:08,556
- Haven't we?
- What trick, Freddie?

1041
01:18:08,633 --> 01:18:10,658
Yes, Freddie, what trick?

1042
01:18:10,735 --> 01:18:15,138
I am going to bury
myself alive every night,

1043
01:18:15,206 --> 01:18:19,074
and then someone will come along
and dig me up. Wonderful.

1044
01:18:19,143 --> 01:18:22,237
- I think he's had quite enough...
- No, pour the champagne.

1045
01:18:22,313 --> 01:18:26,009
Pour the... Sarah, don't talk to me
like that. I'm not a bloody child.

1046
01:18:26,082 --> 01:18:29,279
- Perhaps it would be better...
- Mr. Fallon, escort her home.

1047
01:18:29,352 --> 01:18:32,185
- My husband's being a bore.
- Oh, please.

1048
01:18:32,255 --> 01:18:36,055
- I see no reason you should suffer.
- Don't ruin this evening.

1049
01:18:38,461 --> 01:18:41,362
Good night, Mrs. Borden.
Good night, Freddie.

1050
01:18:45,802 --> 01:18:48,100
- Freddie?
- That's my name.

1051
01:18:48,171 --> 01:18:51,538
- Not at home.
- I'm not always at home, am I?

1052
01:18:53,343 --> 01:18:56,005
Couldn't you have at least
taken off the beard?

1053
01:18:56,079 --> 01:19:00,242
Sarah, I just came from
the bloody theater just now.

1054
01:19:00,315 --> 01:19:03,375
All right? I'm out in public.
Everybody else loves it.

1055
01:19:03,452 --> 01:19:05,386
Why are you being like this?

1056
01:19:05,454 --> 01:19:08,355
I had a terrible ordeal today.

1057
01:19:08,423 --> 01:19:12,190
I thought that
something very precious...

1058
01:19:13,362 --> 01:19:15,296
had been lost to me.

1059
01:19:15,364 --> 01:19:18,492
So I just wanted
to celebrate just a little.

1060
01:19:18,567 --> 01:19:22,024
All right, what? What did you lose?

1061
01:19:27,175 --> 01:19:28,733
I see, more secrets.

1062
01:19:29,677 --> 01:19:32,839
Sarah, secrets are my life.

1063
01:19:34,782 --> 01:19:38,047
- Our life.
- No, Alfred, stop, this isn't you.

1064
01:19:38,119 --> 01:19:40,587
Stop performing.

1065
01:20:04,744 --> 01:20:07,235
I thought I had the place to myself.

1066
01:20:07,313 --> 01:20:10,613
Unexpected guests, not very polite.

1067
01:20:10,684 --> 01:20:12,515
A lot of questions.

1068
01:20:12,585 --> 01:20:15,383
At first, I thought they
worked for the government.

1069
01:20:15,454 --> 01:20:19,117
- No?
- Worse, they work for Thomas Edison.

1070
01:20:21,093 --> 01:20:23,584
Today, a most
curious development.

1071
01:20:23,662 --> 01:20:26,721
His assistant came to us
with a proposition.

1072
01:20:28,367 --> 01:20:31,767
Obviously, Angier has sent her
and told her to admit as much.

1073
01:20:31,837 --> 01:20:34,635
Does he enjoy taking
his bows under the stage?

1074
01:20:34,707 --> 01:20:38,473
He sent me here to steal your secrets,
but I've come to offer you his.

1075
01:20:38,544 --> 01:20:41,512
This is the truth...

1076
01:20:41,579 --> 01:20:42,569
is it?

1077
01:20:50,621 --> 01:20:54,080
No, that's what he told
me to tell you. The truth...

1078
01:20:54,158 --> 01:20:57,992
is that I loved him and I stood by
him and he sent me to you,

1079
01:20:58,061 --> 01:21:01,589
like he would send a stagehand
to pick up his shirts.

1080
01:21:01,666 --> 01:21:04,463
I hate him for that.

1081
01:21:04,535 --> 01:21:07,767
I could spot Angier's methods
from the back of the theater.

1082
01:21:09,474 --> 01:21:11,737
So, what could you
possibly have to offer me?

1083
01:21:11,809 --> 01:21:13,436
You may know his tricks,

1084
01:21:13,510 --> 01:21:16,570
but you can't understand why
no one sees yours are better.

1085
01:21:16,646 --> 01:21:19,207
You hide this.
I had to look very closely

1086
01:21:19,282 --> 01:21:21,615
to spot it
during The Transported Man,

1087
01:21:21,685 --> 01:21:24,518
but this makes you unique.

1088
01:21:24,588 --> 01:21:26,613
It shows you aren't using a double.

1089
01:21:26,690 --> 01:21:29,181
You mustn't hide it.
You must display it proudly.

1090
01:21:29,258 --> 01:21:34,025
I'm sure it takes great skill
to perform illusions with one good hand.

1091
01:21:34,096 --> 01:21:35,859
Yeah, it does.

1092
01:21:37,633 --> 01:21:40,796
So let people know.

1093
01:21:40,870 --> 01:21:44,362
You can be so much more than
he is and I can show you how.

1094
01:21:46,075 --> 01:21:48,669
I think
she's telling the truth.

1095
01:21:48,744 --> 01:21:50,870
I think we cannot trust her.

1096
01:21:54,416 --> 01:21:56,885
But I love her. I need her.

1097
01:21:58,087 --> 01:22:01,419
To open myself to such a relationship,

1098
01:22:01,489 --> 01:22:05,323
to the dangers of such an affair,

1099
01:22:05,393 --> 01:22:10,194
I need assurances of fidelity, of love.

1100
01:22:11,233 --> 01:22:12,824
But how to be sure?

1101
01:22:15,036 --> 01:22:19,370
I know a way. It's the only
way to know her mind.

1102
01:22:19,440 --> 01:22:21,271
How could he send you away?

1103
01:22:23,143 --> 01:22:26,237
She must help me
rid ourselves of Angier.

1104
01:22:32,853 --> 01:22:35,844
Today, my mistress
proves her truthfulness.

1105
01:22:35,923 --> 01:22:37,651
Not to me, you understand.

1106
01:22:37,724 --> 01:22:40,353
I've been
convinced since she led me to Root.

1107
01:22:40,427 --> 01:22:43,953
Today, Olivia proves her love for me

1108
01:22:44,031 --> 01:22:46,499
to you, Angier.

1109
01:22:46,567 --> 01:22:50,969
Yes, Angier, she gave you
this notebook at my request.

1110
01:22:51,038 --> 01:22:54,473
And yes, "Tesla" is merely
the key to my dairy,

1111
01:22:54,540 --> 01:22:57,338
not to my trick.
You really think I'd part

1112
01:22:57,410 --> 01:23:00,538
with my secret so easily after so much?

1113
01:23:00,613 --> 01:23:02,274
Goodbye, Angier.

1114
01:23:02,348 --> 01:23:04,714
May you find solace
for your forward ambition

1115
01:23:04,784 --> 01:23:06,580
back in your American home.

1116
01:23:16,094 --> 01:23:17,722
Tesla!

1117
01:23:19,665 --> 01:23:22,066
Tesla! Alley!

1118
01:23:23,268 --> 01:23:24,257
Alley!

1119
01:23:24,336 --> 01:23:26,930
Tesla never made a machine
like the one I asked for.

1120
01:23:27,005 --> 01:23:29,802
- I never said he had.
- You let me believe that he had.

1121
01:23:29,874 --> 01:23:32,571
You stole my money because
your funding was cut off.

1122
01:23:32,644 --> 01:23:35,545
You've been shooting
sparks in my top hat,

1123
01:23:35,613 --> 01:23:39,105
laughing at me all along,
while using my money to stave off ruin.

1124
01:23:39,951 --> 01:23:42,078
- I have seen Edison's men.
- Where?

1125
01:23:42,153 --> 01:23:44,644
In the hotel, I have a mind
to bring them up here.

1126
01:23:44,723 --> 01:23:47,418
That would be unwise, Mr. Angier.

1127
01:23:47,491 --> 01:23:50,619
It is true that you are
our last remaining financier,

1128
01:23:50,695 --> 01:23:52,560
but we have not stolen your money.

1129
01:23:52,629 --> 01:23:54,097
This is my cat.

1130
01:23:54,164 --> 01:23:57,225
When I told you I could make you
a machine, I spoke a truth.

1131
01:23:57,301 --> 01:23:58,392
Why isn't it working?

1132
01:23:58,469 --> 01:24:00,800
Because exact science, Mr. Angier,

1133
01:24:00,871 --> 01:24:02,269
is not an exact science.

1134
01:24:02,339 --> 01:24:05,503
The machine simply
does not operate as expected.

1135
01:24:05,576 --> 01:24:09,603
- It requires further examination.
- So where did my top hat go?

1136
01:24:09,679 --> 01:24:10,737
Nowhere.

1137
01:24:10,814 --> 01:24:13,612
We tried the damn thing a dozen times.

1138
01:24:13,683 --> 01:24:15,310
The hat went nowhere.

1139
01:24:15,386 --> 01:24:17,285
We need to try different material.

1140
01:24:17,354 --> 01:24:19,515
It may provoke a different result.

1141
01:24:22,158 --> 01:24:23,716
Great.

1142
01:24:30,867 --> 01:24:34,825
You are responsible for whatever
happens to this animal, doctor.

1143
01:24:56,358 --> 01:24:58,985
I hope whatever you were
really doing with my money

1144
01:24:59,060 --> 01:25:01,494
was more worthwhile, Mr. Tesla.

1145
01:25:57,416 --> 01:25:58,405
Alley!

1146
01:26:01,487 --> 01:26:03,216
So the machine was working?

1147
01:26:03,289 --> 01:26:06,918
I never checked the calibration,
'cause the hat never moved.

1148
01:26:06,992 --> 01:26:09,858
These things never quite
work as you expect them to.

1149
01:26:09,928 --> 01:26:12,419
That's one of the principal
beauties of science.

1150
01:26:12,497 --> 01:26:15,955
I'll need a couple of weeks to iron out
the problems with the machine.

1151
01:26:16,034 --> 01:26:18,094
We'll send word when it's ready.

1152
01:26:20,305 --> 01:26:23,274
Don't forget your hat.

1153
01:26:23,342 --> 01:26:27,072
- Well, which one is mine?
- They are all your hats.

1154
01:26:33,017 --> 01:26:36,008
You look so pretty
in this new dress of yours.

1155
01:26:36,087 --> 01:26:39,921
- Are we going to the zoo?
- No, Daddy has some errands to run.

1156
01:26:39,991 --> 01:26:42,221
- But you promised.
- I promised, did I?

1157
01:26:42,293 --> 01:26:44,590
Then go to the zoo, we shall.

1158
01:26:44,661 --> 01:26:48,120
Daddy will go run his errands,
and I'll be back before you know it.

1159
01:26:48,198 --> 01:26:51,929
So you go get ready. We'll go
see those chimpanzees.

1160
01:26:54,938 --> 01:26:58,339
Sarah... what are you doing?

1161
01:27:02,012 --> 01:27:05,003
Each of us have our vices.

1162
01:27:08,118 --> 01:27:10,586
Sarah, whatever you may think...

1163
01:27:12,155 --> 01:27:15,784
your only competition
for my affections is our little girl.

1164
01:27:15,858 --> 01:27:18,827
I love you. I will always love you

1165
01:27:18,895 --> 01:27:20,328
and you alone.

1166
01:27:22,198 --> 01:27:25,998
- You mean it today.
- Absolutely.

1167
01:27:26,068 --> 01:27:29,902
Which makes it so much
harder when you don't.

1168
01:27:39,248 --> 01:27:42,045
More shopping. She does
love the smell of money.

1169
01:27:42,117 --> 01:27:46,417
The little lady wants to go to the zoo,
so I thought you could take her, yeah?

1170
01:27:46,488 --> 01:27:48,854
I mean, I can do it tomorrow, if not.

1171
01:27:48,924 --> 01:27:52,223
And, uh... Sarah,

1172
01:27:52,294 --> 01:27:54,420
she knows.

1173
01:27:54,495 --> 01:27:58,660
Uh, at least she knows
that something is not right,

1174
01:27:58,733 --> 01:28:01,634
so if you can just do
whatever you can to help me.

1175
01:28:01,702 --> 01:28:06,264
Talk to her, just
convince her that I do love her.

1176
01:28:16,917 --> 01:28:18,884
What is it, Freddie?

1177
01:28:18,953 --> 01:28:21,250
Listen, don't call me that, please.

1178
01:28:21,322 --> 01:28:25,190
It's nothing. It's just that
sometimes it seems wrong.

1179
01:28:25,258 --> 01:28:27,749
I told you, when you're
with me, you're with me.

1180
01:28:27,828 --> 01:28:30,853
Leave your family at home
where they belong.

1181
01:28:30,931 --> 01:28:34,195
I'm trying. I'm trying, Olivia.

1182
01:28:34,267 --> 01:28:36,633
- I'll get dressed.
- Yeah.

1183
01:28:38,137 --> 01:28:41,163
I saw Fallon hanging around again.

1184
01:28:41,241 --> 01:28:43,709
There's something about
that man I don't trust.

1185
01:28:43,776 --> 01:28:46,836
You trust me? Then trust Fallon.

1186
01:28:46,912 --> 01:28:49,574
He protects the things
that I care about.

1187
01:29:27,818 --> 01:29:30,309
We're sorry to see you go, Mr. Angier.

1188
01:29:30,388 --> 01:29:32,948
We were sorry to see
Mr. Tesla leave, as well.

1189
01:29:33,024 --> 01:29:35,117
He's very good to Colorado Springs.

1190
01:29:35,192 --> 01:29:37,854
Mr. Angier,

1191
01:29:37,928 --> 01:29:41,556
I didn't think it was necessary
to tell Edison's men about the box.

1192
01:29:41,632 --> 01:29:43,293
What box?

1193
01:30:08,624 --> 01:30:12,026
I apologize for leaving
without saying goodbye.

1194
01:30:12,094 --> 01:30:17,328
But I seem to have outstayed
my welcome in Colorado.

1195
01:30:17,400 --> 01:30:21,893
The truly extraordinary is not
permitted in science and industry.

1196
01:30:21,970 --> 01:30:24,767
Perhaps you'll find
more luck in your field,

1197
01:30:24,840 --> 01:30:27,501
where people are happy to be mystified.

1198
01:30:27,575 --> 01:30:31,535
You will find what you
are looking for in this box.

1199
01:30:31,613 --> 01:30:36,050
Alley has written you
a thorough set of instructions.

1200
01:30:36,117 --> 01:30:40,850
I add only one suggestion
on using the machine.

1201
01:30:40,922 --> 01:30:42,890
Destroy it.

1202
01:30:42,957 --> 01:30:46,256
Drop it to the bottom
of the deepest ocean.

1203
01:30:46,328 --> 01:30:49,728
Such a thing will bring you only misery.

1204
01:30:53,600 --> 01:30:57,230
Tesla's warning is
as unheeded as he knew it would be.

1205
01:30:57,305 --> 01:31:00,866
Today I tested the machine.
Taking precautions in case

1206
01:31:00,941 --> 01:31:03,911
Tesla hadn't ironed out
the kinks in its operation.

1207
01:31:03,977 --> 01:31:05,774
But if it went wrong,

1208
01:31:05,846 --> 01:31:08,008
I would not want to live
like that for long.

1209
01:31:27,467 --> 01:31:31,597
But here at the turn,
I must leave you, Borden.

1210
01:31:31,671 --> 01:31:33,900
Yes, you, Borden,

1211
01:31:33,973 --> 01:31:36,339
sitting there in your cell,

1212
01:31:36,409 --> 01:31:40,436
reading my diary, awaiting your death,

1213
01:31:40,513 --> 01:31:42,503
for my murder.

1214
01:31:47,853 --> 01:31:51,152
Angier's journal, that gesture
of good faith, that's a fake.

1215
01:31:51,223 --> 01:31:52,520
I assure you, it's not.

1216
01:31:52,591 --> 01:31:55,526
The provenance of the journal
is clear and under no doubt.

1217
01:31:55,594 --> 01:32:00,088
And it's written in Angier's own hand,
for which we have numerous examples.

1218
01:32:01,967 --> 01:32:03,867
It don't matter.

1219
01:32:05,804 --> 01:32:07,829
So my tricks.

1220
01:32:11,075 --> 01:32:14,532
- All of them.
- Including The Transported Man?

1221
01:32:15,980 --> 01:32:19,177
- Lord Caldlow will be very pleased.
- No, he won't.

1222
01:32:19,250 --> 01:32:21,616
They're not complete.

1223
01:32:21,685 --> 01:32:24,415
It's just the pledge
and the turn for each.

1224
01:32:24,488 --> 01:32:28,550
Without the prestige for these
tricks, these are worthless.

1225
01:32:28,626 --> 01:32:30,651
Yeah.

1226
01:32:30,727 --> 01:32:34,254
You get the rest of it...
when you bring my daughter here.

1227
01:32:37,000 --> 01:32:39,230
I want to say goodbye.

1228
01:32:40,970 --> 01:32:44,134
We have to go through it now.
We have to go through it now.

1229
01:32:44,208 --> 01:32:46,574
Now, listen to me, deny it all you want.

1230
01:32:46,643 --> 01:32:49,009
Olivia means nothing.

1231
01:32:49,078 --> 01:32:50,875
- Olivia?
- I need an assistant.

1232
01:32:50,947 --> 01:32:53,780
- I'll go to her, I'll tell her.
- You'll tell her what?

1233
01:32:53,850 --> 01:32:55,909
I know what you really are, Alfred.

1234
01:32:58,020 --> 01:32:59,783
- I know.
- Sarah, Sarah, Sarah.

1235
01:32:59,856 --> 01:33:02,483
- I can't keep it in.
- You can't talk like this.

1236
01:33:02,557 --> 01:33:05,083
- No. No.
- Sarah, shut up! Sarah, shut up!

1237
01:33:05,161 --> 01:33:09,290
I don't want to hear it anymore.
You can't talk like this.

1238
01:33:11,900 --> 01:33:15,301
You can't hide it anymore,
because I know, Alfred, I know.

1239
01:33:15,370 --> 01:33:18,806
I know what you really are, Alfred.

1240
01:33:18,874 --> 01:33:21,672
I can't live like this.

1241
01:33:21,743 --> 01:33:23,870
Oh, well, you think
I can live like this?

1242
01:33:23,946 --> 01:33:27,108
You think I bloody enjoy
living like this?

1243
01:33:27,182 --> 01:33:31,584
We have this beautiful house,
lovely little girl, we're married.

1244
01:33:31,653 --> 01:33:33,313
What is so wrong with your life?

1245
01:33:33,387 --> 01:33:35,982
Alfred, I can't live like this!

1246
01:33:36,057 --> 01:33:38,423
Well, what do you want from me?

1247
01:33:41,762 --> 01:33:45,459
I... I want...

1248
01:33:45,533 --> 01:33:48,593
I want you to be... honest with me.

1249
01:33:51,338 --> 01:33:53,806
No tricks.

1250
01:33:53,873 --> 01:33:55,967
No lies.

1251
01:33:56,043 --> 01:33:59,843
And no secrets.

1252
01:34:06,119 --> 01:34:09,453
Do you... do you love me?

1253
01:34:12,525 --> 01:34:14,152
Not today.

1254
01:34:16,296 --> 01:34:17,354
No.

1255
01:35:55,025 --> 01:35:56,049
Who's there?

1256
01:35:59,195 --> 01:36:01,287
I'm looking for an old friend.

1257
01:36:01,363 --> 01:36:04,298
I heard about a booking,
nice little theater,

1258
01:36:04,366 --> 01:36:06,800
- good up-and-coming magician.
- You're back.

1259
01:36:06,869 --> 01:36:08,461
It's good to see you, John.

1260
01:36:09,238 --> 01:36:11,968
Good rehearsal space.

1261
01:36:12,041 --> 01:36:14,805
Blind stagehands, I like it.

1262
01:36:14,877 --> 01:36:17,538
You always had a good eye for publicity.

1263
01:36:17,612 --> 01:36:18,943
I need your help, John.

1264
01:36:19,013 --> 01:36:21,811
It's my last show. A limited engagement.

1265
01:36:21,883 --> 01:36:23,511
Your last show?

1266
01:36:23,585 --> 01:36:27,714
A wise man once told me obsession
was a young man's game.

1267
01:36:27,789 --> 01:36:31,350
I'm almost done. There's one thing left.

1268
01:36:32,360 --> 01:36:34,884
The Real Transported Man.

1269
01:36:36,698 --> 01:36:38,688
You want to design a show around it?

1270
01:36:38,765 --> 01:36:41,633
I don't want you backstage
I need you in front managing.

1271
01:36:41,703 --> 01:36:44,365
Call in any favors
or connections you have left

1272
01:36:44,439 --> 01:36:45,906
to get us the right booking.

1273
01:36:45,973 --> 01:36:48,065
What sort of booking you after?

1274
01:36:48,141 --> 01:36:50,541
The sort that Borden can't ignore.

1275
01:36:56,917 --> 01:37:00,148
Oh, what an honor it is
to see you again, sir.

1276
01:37:00,220 --> 01:37:04,178
You told me you only wanted to show me
one trick that'd pique my interest.

1277
01:37:04,256 --> 01:37:07,419
- It's a very clever trick.
- Pleased to meet you, Mr. Ackerman.

1278
01:37:07,493 --> 01:37:10,361
Likewise, I'm sure.
Let's get on, shall we?

1279
01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:15,762
Turn it on, gentlemen.

1280
01:37:21,006 --> 01:37:22,132
Very pretty.

1281
01:37:33,184 --> 01:37:36,847
That's it, Cutter? He simply disappears?

1282
01:37:36,921 --> 01:37:39,287
That's not a trick. He has to come back.

1283
01:37:39,357 --> 01:37:41,518
- There has to be a...
- A prestige?

1284
01:37:41,593 --> 01:37:42,582
Exactly.

1285
01:37:45,597 --> 01:37:48,259
Pardon me.

1286
01:37:48,333 --> 01:37:51,598
It's very rare to see...

1287
01:37:51,668 --> 01:37:53,136
real magic.

1288
01:37:54,639 --> 01:37:56,334
It's been many years since...

1289
01:37:56,407 --> 01:37:58,135
Are you interested in helping us?

1290
01:38:00,210 --> 01:38:03,941
Yes... but you'll have
to dress it up a little.

1291
01:38:06,216 --> 01:38:07,877
Disguise it.

1292
01:38:09,553 --> 01:38:12,044
Give them enough reason to doubt it.

1293
01:38:12,856 --> 01:38:16,087
You haven't spoken
about her, Freddie, not once.

1294
01:38:16,160 --> 01:38:19,857
Why would I talk about her to you, hm?

1295
01:38:19,930 --> 01:38:23,797
Because she was a part of
your life and now she's gone.

1296
01:38:26,769 --> 01:38:31,263
You know, the day before she killed
herself she said she wanted to meet me.

1297
01:38:31,340 --> 01:38:34,276
That she had something
to tell me about you.

1298
01:38:34,343 --> 01:38:37,938
I was such a coward,
I couldn't bring myself to face her.

1299
01:38:38,014 --> 01:38:39,504
But...

1300
01:38:40,715 --> 01:38:42,980
what would she have said?

1301
01:38:43,052 --> 01:38:46,146
You want to know the truth about me?

1302
01:38:47,423 --> 01:38:49,913
The truth is that...

1303
01:38:52,093 --> 01:38:54,084
I never loved Sarah.

1304
01:38:55,298 --> 01:38:56,788
I never loved her.

1305
01:38:56,865 --> 01:38:59,095
You married her,
you had a child with her.

1306
01:38:59,167 --> 01:39:02,261
Yes. Part of me. Part of me did, but...

1307
01:39:02,337 --> 01:39:04,271
the other part didn't.

1308
01:39:04,339 --> 01:39:08,570
The part that found you,
the part that's sitting here right now.

1309
01:39:08,643 --> 01:39:11,703
I love you. No, Olivia, I love you.

1310
01:39:11,780 --> 01:39:13,747
That's the truth.

1311
01:39:13,814 --> 01:39:16,214
That is the truth that matters.

1312
01:39:16,283 --> 01:39:20,687
You could be in some other restaurant
with some other woman right now,

1313
01:39:20,754 --> 01:39:22,347
talking about me that way.

1314
01:39:22,424 --> 01:39:24,550
- No.
- Yes.

1315
01:39:27,995 --> 01:39:31,726
It's inhuman to be so cold.

1316
01:39:37,403 --> 01:39:38,666
He's back.

1317
01:39:39,572 --> 01:39:42,838
After two years, he's got a new trick.

1318
01:39:42,910 --> 01:39:45,572
They're saying it's
the best London's ever seen.

1319
01:39:47,780 --> 01:39:50,249
You should see the look
on your face, Professor.

1320
01:39:52,118 --> 01:39:54,052
You should go to him.

1321
01:39:54,120 --> 01:39:56,646
You two deserve each other.

1322
01:40:01,628 --> 01:40:05,564
But I'm afraid I'm booked. The Moscow
Ballet plays through next year.

1323
01:40:05,632 --> 01:40:10,193
Then get rid of them. There will be
100 performances, no more, no less.

1324
01:40:10,270 --> 01:40:12,761
Five performances a week, no matinees.

1325
01:40:14,573 --> 01:40:17,599
That's what you'll
charge for each ticket. Good day.

1326
01:40:40,331 --> 01:40:44,962
Ladies and gentlemen, my first trick of
the evening involves considerable risk.

1327
01:40:46,203 --> 01:40:47,568
Anyone in the audience

1328
01:40:47,638 --> 01:40:50,471
who would be irrevocably
damaged by seeing a man drown

1329
01:40:50,541 --> 01:40:52,133
should leave now.

1330
01:40:52,208 --> 01:40:55,007
When I tell you the lady
who taught me this illusion

1331
01:40:55,079 --> 01:40:57,070
actually died performing it,

1332
01:40:57,148 --> 01:41:00,447
you'll understand the seriousness
of the dangers involved.

1333
01:41:02,620 --> 01:41:05,019
Let's begin.

1334
01:41:14,731 --> 01:41:17,359
In my travels, I have seen the future.

1335
01:41:19,169 --> 01:41:22,764
And it is a strange future, indeed.

1336
01:41:22,839 --> 01:41:25,000
The worid, ladies and gentlemen,

1337
01:41:25,075 --> 01:41:27,373
is on the brink of new

1338
01:41:27,444 --> 01:41:29,172
and terrifying possibilities.

1339
01:41:49,665 --> 01:41:53,122
What you're about to witness
is not magic.

1340
01:41:54,303 --> 01:41:55,701
It's purely science.

1341
01:41:55,771 --> 01:41:58,205
I'd like to invite you
to come up on stage now

1342
01:41:58,272 --> 01:42:01,264
so that you can examine
the machine for yourselves.

1343
01:42:56,562 --> 01:42:58,393
Man's reach

1344
01:42:58,464 --> 01:43:01,592
exceeds his imagination.

1345
01:43:12,877 --> 01:43:14,242
Bravo!

1346
01:43:22,288 --> 01:43:25,017
One hundred performances. Why?

1347
01:43:25,090 --> 01:43:26,648
Does his method dictate that?

1348
01:43:26,724 --> 01:43:28,624
Is it a publicity move? What is it?

1349
01:43:28,693 --> 01:43:31,059
He's a no-talent magician,
and they call him

1350
01:43:31,129 --> 01:43:33,529
the bloody best in England. Why?

1351
01:43:33,598 --> 01:43:36,362
Fifty yards in a second! In a second!

1352
01:43:36,434 --> 01:43:39,528
And all that we know
is he uses a trap door.

1353
01:43:39,604 --> 01:43:43,870
Brilliant! What is going on
under that stage? Huh?

1354
01:43:43,942 --> 01:43:46,375
Why can't you out-think him?

1355
01:44:01,491 --> 01:44:06,690
They do this every night,
after each performance. Yeah?

1356
01:44:32,989 --> 01:44:34,319
Huh.

1357
01:44:35,191 --> 01:44:38,159
We're done.

1358
01:44:39,462 --> 01:44:41,019
All right?

1359
01:44:42,330 --> 01:44:44,093
Let him have his trick.

1360
01:44:44,166 --> 01:44:46,657
I don't need his secret.

1361
01:44:46,735 --> 01:44:48,225
So...

1362
01:44:49,738 --> 01:44:52,707
don't go back there,
you leave him alone.

1363
01:44:52,774 --> 01:44:56,039
Both of us... just leave him alone.

1364
01:44:56,111 --> 01:44:57,737
We're done.

1365
01:45:06,488 --> 01:45:08,546
I told you, John.

1366
01:45:08,622 --> 01:45:10,715
I don't want you backstage on this one.

1367
01:45:12,359 --> 01:45:14,758
I would like to
invite you onstage now

1368
01:45:14,828 --> 01:45:17,524
so that you can examine
the machine for yourselves.

1369
01:45:46,726 --> 01:45:50,457
- Hey, where do you think...?
- I'm part of the bloody act, you fool.

1370
01:45:59,471 --> 01:46:00,460
Who was that?

1371
01:46:57,027 --> 01:47:01,157
Hey! Where's the bloody key?

1372
01:47:01,231 --> 01:47:02,788
Where's the bloody key?

1373
01:47:05,235 --> 01:47:08,965
Where's the bloody key?
He's bloody drowning!

1374
01:47:18,213 --> 01:47:19,202
Hold on!

1375
01:47:24,519 --> 01:47:25,987
What have you done?

1376
01:47:47,809 --> 01:47:53,247
Alfred Borden, you have been found
guilty of the murder of Robert Angier.

1377
01:47:53,314 --> 01:47:57,545
You will be hanged
by the neck until dead.

1378
01:47:57,617 --> 01:48:00,587
May the Lord have mercy on your soul.

1379
01:48:02,356 --> 01:48:04,518
Mr. Cutter?

1380
01:48:04,592 --> 01:48:06,218
Owens.

1381
01:48:06,294 --> 01:48:09,127
Oh, thank you for coming, Mr. Owens.

1382
01:48:09,196 --> 01:48:13,565
It has fallen to me to dispose
of Mr. Angier's equipment.

1383
01:48:13,633 --> 01:48:15,225
But I notice from this manifest

1384
01:48:15,301 --> 01:48:18,999
that Lord Caldlow has purchased
the bulk of the items.

1385
01:48:19,072 --> 01:48:22,371
Mr. Cutter, if you need to know
where to deliver these items...

1386
01:48:22,442 --> 01:48:26,036
No, it's just there is
one particular item,

1387
01:48:26,980 --> 01:48:29,573
this item, in fact,

1388
01:48:29,648 --> 01:48:31,912
- I would like to...
- You would like to...

1389
01:48:31,985 --> 01:48:33,077
buy.

1390
01:48:33,153 --> 01:48:35,052
- Buy yourself?
- Yeah, I suppose so.

1391
01:48:36,288 --> 01:48:38,222
- This is the machine?
- Yes.

1392
01:48:38,290 --> 01:48:40,520
Well, I'm afraid
Lord Caldlow was adamant

1393
01:48:40,593 --> 01:48:42,823
about purchasing this particular item.

1394
01:48:42,895 --> 01:48:45,988
Do you think I could
talk to Lord Caldlow in person?

1395
01:48:46,065 --> 01:48:48,829
Out of the question, I'm afraid.

1396
01:48:51,270 --> 01:48:53,170
Of course,

1397
01:48:53,238 --> 01:48:56,470
I suppose if, in the course
of your delivery arrangements,

1398
01:48:56,542 --> 01:49:01,001
your paths were to cross,
I can't stop you speaking your mind.

1399
01:49:01,980 --> 01:49:03,107
Thank you.

1400
01:49:04,682 --> 01:49:06,843
- Still here, Borden?
- For now.

1401
01:49:07,452 --> 01:49:10,421
You got a visitor. Lord Caldlow.

1402
01:49:10,488 --> 01:49:12,581
With a little girl.

1403
01:49:20,865 --> 01:49:22,765
Jess?

1404
01:49:22,834 --> 01:49:24,460
Hello, my love.

1405
01:49:24,535 --> 01:49:27,993
How are you? I've missed you so much.

1406
01:49:28,071 --> 01:49:30,198
Fallon's missed you too. We both have.

1407
01:49:30,274 --> 01:49:32,606
Daddy, can I come in there?

1408
01:49:33,243 --> 01:49:35,871
Not right now. Not right now, darling.

1409
01:49:35,946 --> 01:49:38,209
No, but everything
is gonna be all right.

1410
01:49:39,783 --> 01:49:41,512
You must be Lord Caldlow?

1411
01:49:41,585 --> 01:49:45,315
Caldlow. Yes, I am. I always have been.

1412
01:49:50,359 --> 01:49:52,554
They flatter you with all those chains.

1413
01:49:52,628 --> 01:49:55,654
Don't they know you can't escape
without your rubber ball?

1414
01:49:55,731 --> 01:49:58,723
I pulled you out... out of that tank.

1415
01:49:58,801 --> 01:50:02,635
All I wanted to do was prove
that I was a better magician.

1416
01:50:02,705 --> 01:50:04,605
But you couldn't leave me alone.

1417
01:50:06,108 --> 01:50:08,201
I don't know what you've done.

1418
01:50:10,111 --> 01:50:13,809
But you're not afraid to get
your hands dirty anymore, are you?

1419
01:50:13,883 --> 01:50:17,147
No, not anymore. And I win.

1420
01:50:17,219 --> 01:50:20,552
No one cares about the man
in the box, the man who disappears.

1421
01:50:20,623 --> 01:50:21,748
You win?

1422
01:50:23,191 --> 01:50:27,855
This ain't a bloody competition
anymore. This is my little girl's life.

1423
01:50:27,929 --> 01:50:30,920
And don't you dare
put her in the middle of this.

1424
01:50:30,999 --> 01:50:33,990
Oh, I know how hard it is
to have someone so special

1425
01:50:34,068 --> 01:50:36,434
taken away from you, don't I, Borden?

1426
01:50:37,438 --> 01:50:40,168
And you can't take it
with you, now, can you?

1427
01:50:40,241 --> 01:50:42,141
Oh, she'll be looked after.

1428
01:50:42,210 --> 01:50:44,235
Goodbye, Professor. Come on, darling.

1429
01:50:44,311 --> 01:50:46,074
No, no, no, no, stop, my darling.

1430
01:50:46,146 --> 01:50:48,273
Look, here.

1431
01:50:49,817 --> 01:50:53,082
That's what you're after.
That's what this is about.

1432
01:50:53,888 --> 01:50:55,253
Take it.

1433
01:50:55,322 --> 01:50:57,016
- Your secret?
- Yeah.

1434
01:51:00,227 --> 01:51:03,788
You always were the better magician.
We both know that.

1435
01:51:04,430 --> 01:51:07,024
Whatever your secret was,
you have to agree,

1436
01:51:08,167 --> 01:51:09,499
mine is better.

1437
01:51:11,204 --> 01:51:14,571
Don't do this. Don't do this,
Angier. Jess, Jess!

1438
01:51:14,641 --> 01:51:18,168
Jess, I'm gonna take you
home soon. I promise.

1439
01:51:18,244 --> 01:51:20,804
- For God's sake.
- I promise. Look!

1440
01:51:24,651 --> 01:51:28,245
I promise. I love you, Jess.

1441
01:51:28,321 --> 01:51:29,982
I love you.

1442
01:51:30,056 --> 01:51:31,682
- Come on.
- I love you.

1443
01:51:31,757 --> 01:51:33,453
I love you, Jess.

1444
01:51:33,526 --> 01:51:35,857
Angier! Angier!

1445
01:51:35,928 --> 01:51:38,021
What, do you think
this place can hold me?

1446
01:51:38,096 --> 01:51:41,122
Angier! They're gonna bloody hang me!

1447
01:51:41,199 --> 01:51:43,724
And you can put a stop to this now!

1448
01:51:44,369 --> 01:51:46,564
Listen! Listen! That man...

1449
01:51:46,638 --> 01:51:49,004
Listen, that man is
the one I'm in for killing!

1450
01:51:49,074 --> 01:51:53,408
Listen! If he's alive, I'm not guilty!

1451
01:51:53,478 --> 01:51:55,742
- I'm not guilty!
- I don't care!

1452
01:51:55,814 --> 01:51:57,906
- Get hold of him.
- Angier!

1453
01:52:02,587 --> 01:52:05,147
Run along now.

1454
01:52:05,222 --> 01:52:07,747
Sir, there's a gentleman waiting.

1455
01:52:24,575 --> 01:52:27,305
- Dear God.
- Hello, Cutter.

1456
01:52:28,278 --> 01:52:30,712
You're still alive.

1457
01:52:30,780 --> 01:52:32,645
How is it you're still alive?

1458
01:52:32,716 --> 01:52:35,117
I saw you on a slab, for God's sake.

1459
01:52:38,121 --> 01:52:40,145
- Child.
- Good night, sir.

1460
01:52:40,223 --> 01:52:42,190
Good night, Jess.

1461
01:52:43,426 --> 01:52:45,087
I've seen her before.

1462
01:52:45,161 --> 01:52:47,685
I saw her in court with...

1463
01:52:48,631 --> 01:52:50,259
Fallon.

1464
01:52:52,368 --> 01:52:54,962
- What have you done?
- She needs looking after.

1465
01:52:55,037 --> 01:52:57,529
She needs her father.

1466
01:52:57,606 --> 01:53:00,575
You're letting him hang,
and I helped you.

1467
01:53:00,643 --> 01:53:05,580
I came here to beg Lord Caldlow
to let me destroy that machine.

1468
01:53:07,048 --> 01:53:10,484
I am not going to beg you for anything.

1469
01:53:10,552 --> 01:53:13,817
You don't have to. I'm gonna
make sure it is never used again.

1470
01:53:14,956 --> 01:53:18,050
Then, Lord Caldlow...

1471
01:53:20,595 --> 01:53:22,655
where do you want me to deliver it?

1472
01:53:22,730 --> 01:53:26,496
My theater. It belongs
with the prestige materials.

1473
01:53:26,968 --> 01:53:29,562
John, I tried not to involve you.

1474
01:53:42,516 --> 01:53:44,780
So...

1475
01:53:46,821 --> 01:53:49,414
We go alone now.

1476
01:53:49,489 --> 01:53:51,924
Both of us.

1477
01:53:54,728 --> 01:53:58,129
I mean, I don't have
as far to go as you.

1478
01:54:03,437 --> 01:54:04,768
No.

1479
01:54:06,306 --> 01:54:09,365
You were right. I should have
left him to his damn trick.

1480
01:54:11,144 --> 01:54:13,237
I'm sorry.

1481
01:54:14,780 --> 01:54:17,112
I'm sorry for a lot of things.

1482
01:54:18,250 --> 01:54:20,980
I'm sorry about Sarah.

1483
01:54:22,088 --> 01:54:25,546
Didn't mean to hurt her, I didn't.

1484
01:54:27,426 --> 01:54:31,759
You go live your life in full now,
all right? You live for both of us.

1485
01:54:40,606 --> 01:54:42,096
Goodbye.

1486
01:55:27,884 --> 01:55:30,319
Are you watching closely?

1487
01:56:01,683 --> 01:56:03,617
Put it down on the end.

1488
01:56:37,017 --> 01:56:40,783
Take a minute to consider
your achievement.

1489
01:56:41,856 --> 01:56:44,654
I once told you about a sailor

1490
01:56:44,724 --> 01:56:47,023
who described drowning to me.

1491
01:56:47,093 --> 01:56:49,288
Yes, he said it was like going home.

1492
01:56:50,397 --> 01:56:54,162
I was lying. He said it was agony.

1493
01:57:33,906 --> 01:57:38,069
Alfred Borden, this day,
in the name of the king

1494
01:57:38,142 --> 01:57:40,133
and the High Court of England,

1495
01:57:40,211 --> 01:57:42,042
you will meet your end.

1496
01:57:44,148 --> 01:57:46,173
No one cares about the man in the box.

1497
01:57:51,022 --> 01:57:52,751
Cutter?

1498
01:57:57,427 --> 01:57:58,952
Cutter!

1499
01:58:00,831 --> 01:58:03,094
Do you have anything to say?

1500
01:58:07,838 --> 01:58:09,236
Abracadabra.

1501
01:58:45,874 --> 01:58:48,604
A brother? A twin?

1502
01:58:50,446 --> 01:58:52,812
You were Fallon.

1503
01:58:54,316 --> 01:58:56,978
- The whole time?
- No.

1504
01:58:58,019 --> 01:59:00,352
We were both Fallon.

1505
01:59:00,422 --> 01:59:02,321
We were both Borden.

1506
01:59:07,696 --> 01:59:10,664
Were you the one who went into the box?

1507
01:59:10,732 --> 01:59:12,427
Or the one who came back out?

1508
01:59:13,735 --> 01:59:16,033
We took turns.

1509
01:59:20,842 --> 01:59:22,900
The trick is where we would swap.

1510
01:59:29,116 --> 01:59:31,016
Cutter knew. Cutter knew.

1511
01:59:31,085 --> 01:59:33,348
But I told him it was
too simple, too easy.

1512
01:59:34,554 --> 01:59:35,543
No.

1513
01:59:37,090 --> 01:59:39,058
Simple, maybe, but not easy.

1514
01:59:39,126 --> 01:59:42,892
There's nothing easy
about two men sharing one life.

1515
01:59:48,568 --> 01:59:51,765
I don't understand,
how it can be bleeding again?

1516
01:59:55,241 --> 01:59:58,039
Wha... What about Olivia and your wife?

1517
01:59:59,045 --> 02:00:00,945
We each loved one of them.

1518
02:00:04,583 --> 02:00:07,312
I loved Sarah.

1519
02:00:07,385 --> 02:00:09,911
He loved Olivia.

1520
02:00:09,989 --> 02:00:12,423
We each had half of a full life,

1521
02:00:12,491 --> 02:00:15,482
really, which was enough for us...

1522
02:00:15,560 --> 02:00:16,550
just.

1523
02:00:19,197 --> 02:00:20,926
But not for them.

1524
02:00:23,502 --> 02:00:25,731
See, sacrifice, Robert,

1525
02:00:25,804 --> 02:00:28,534
that's the price of a good trick.

1526
02:00:30,575 --> 02:00:33,135
You wouldn't know
anything about that, would you?

1527
02:00:36,413 --> 02:00:38,348
I've... I've made sacrifices.

1528
02:00:38,415 --> 02:00:40,383
- No.
- Yes.

1529
02:00:40,851 --> 02:00:43,945
It takes nothing
to steal another man's work.

1530
02:00:44,021 --> 02:00:46,785
Yeah, it takes everything.

1531
02:01:06,844 --> 02:01:08,970
No, no, wait, I'm not...

1532
02:01:15,652 --> 02:01:18,279
It took courage.

1533
02:01:20,289 --> 02:01:23,486
It took courage to climb
into that machine every night,

1534
02:01:24,293 --> 02:01:26,726
not knowing...

1535
02:01:26,796 --> 02:01:28,922
if I'd be the man in the box...

1536
02:01:31,968 --> 02:01:33,230
or in the prestige.

1537
02:01:34,570 --> 02:01:37,595
Do you want to see...

1538
02:01:37,673 --> 02:01:39,970
what it cost me?

1539
02:01:40,042 --> 02:01:42,805
You didn't see where you are, did you?

1540
02:01:43,712 --> 02:01:46,112
Look. Look.

1541
02:01:47,214 --> 02:01:48,704
I don't care.

1542
02:01:53,421 --> 02:01:56,982
You went halfway around the worid.

1543
02:01:57,058 --> 02:01:59,822
You spent a fortune.

1544
02:02:01,897 --> 02:02:04,421
You did terrible things.

1545
02:02:05,433 --> 02:02:07,900
Really terrible things, Robert.

1546
02:02:09,937 --> 02:02:11,427
And all for nothing.

1547
02:02:12,406 --> 02:02:13,600
For nothing?

1548
02:02:13,674 --> 02:02:15,005
Yeah.

1549
02:02:18,679 --> 02:02:21,307
You never understood...

1550
02:02:21,382 --> 02:02:23,372
why we did this.

1551
02:02:26,486 --> 02:02:29,046
The audience knows the truth.

1552
02:02:30,191 --> 02:02:32,624
The worid is simple.

1553
02:02:32,692 --> 02:02:34,421
It's miserable.

1554
02:02:34,494 --> 02:02:38,191
Solid... Solid all the way through.

1555
02:02:40,533 --> 02:02:42,865
But if you could fool them,

1556
02:02:42,936 --> 02:02:45,096
even for a second...

1557
02:02:46,638 --> 02:02:49,039
then you could make them wonder.

1558
02:02:50,175 --> 02:02:52,370
And then you...

1559
02:02:52,444 --> 02:02:54,675
Then you got to see something

1560
02:02:54,747 --> 02:02:56,408
very special.

1561
02:03:00,719 --> 02:03:03,244
You really don't know.

1562
02:03:06,325 --> 02:03:07,986
It was...

1563
02:03:09,061 --> 02:03:12,029
it was the look on their faces.

1564
02:03:27,211 --> 02:03:32,046
Every magic trick
consists of three parts, or acts.

1565
02:03:35,486 --> 02:03:38,944
The first part is called "the pledge."

1566
02:03:39,023 --> 02:03:41,786
The magician shows you
something ordinary.

1567
02:03:42,927 --> 02:03:45,861
The second act is called "the turn."

1568
02:03:47,330 --> 02:03:50,197
The magician takes
the ordinary something

1569
02:03:50,268 --> 02:03:53,134
and makes it into
something extraordinary.

1570
02:03:54,471 --> 02:03:58,373
But you wouldn't clap yet,
because making something disappear

1571
02:03:58,440 --> 02:04:02,537
isn't enough. You have to bring it back.

1572
02:04:36,978 --> 02:04:39,413
Now you're looking for the secret.

1573
02:04:42,350 --> 02:04:46,081
But you won't find it, because,
of course, you're not really looking.

1574
02:04:49,190 --> 02:04:52,626
You don't really want to work it out.

1575
02:04:55,430 --> 02:04:57,728
You want to be fooled.

1576
02:04:58,423 --> 02:05:08,850
