there's a statement that I made and when I

believed people would listen to me

at least with regard to certain things that

are important to all of us but now

it makes no difference but why are you

here at all I mean in my hotel room

has not been visited by anyone for a

very long time which paper would you

publish this as a matter

Actually I am a freelance reportermr. Tesla

You were once a very wealthy man, you

worked with JP Morgan weren't you

given a great opportunity and what that

opportunity was had to do with

of course humanity has chosen and the one

that might have chosen which one would be

led in a very different direction mr .

Tesla

is it true that you ever received some

unknown signals from space in

Colorado Springs I've already made a

very complete statement about that and when was it

that at a press conference at the

Waldorf Astoria Hotel which was in 1890

just one more question if you don't mind

at one time you worked very closely with

George Westinghouse and Thomas Edison were

it is true that you gave up ten million

dollars owed to you by Westinghouse

young Edison and Westinghouse were

very different men George and I still

see each other often mr. Tesla George

Westinghouse is dead he died a long time ago

ago I guess you're going to tell me

Mark Twain is dead too

dead for over 30 years mr. Tesla it

1943 you know right

I talked to him just yesterday but

that guy I really want to talk to Him

Should Morgan and young man

be grateful if you will go

thank you so much mr. Tesla limits

others they're always happy to talk

with me but Morgan after all these years

he still refuses to answer all these

things - bad things that they don't need to have

happened i told him i showed him

what the world could be he let me know

he said when he s ready i'm still

alive

welcome to the United States

Nick don't use that size for you

you are their legal guardian for t Bimini

so no boys

so not only that he visited in Italy

adjust Oscar you with the service Tino on

seniority i listen sel Delano

familia esta to mulatto i go quickly so

no - Cleo Kumaran thank you it's all you

People that CC my responsibility for

search even be kids oh man

geology / geography Padre Bell teamed up

amoeba I welcome to real estate

haven't even collected beanie suggestions

America

dr. kristall was born with a smell in Croatia

Austria and how big is your family you

have no family at all I haven't met all

right You are ready

welcome to the United States

Sir. Tesla thank you very much okay

who's next

it's like magic Tom every time I

hear that voice it just

seems more beautiful than ever yeah Thank you

Katherine I have a new name for that

phonograph what do you think of it

whatever You call it one of your

miracles perhaps the greatest for you

know Bob your old friend, you wouldn't know

Katherine I feel I can confide in you

I have a feeling that this Niagara

Project could be as important as

anything I've ever done, you're the one - the only

man on earth who can do it from we

can be sure of that

sorry to bother you oh yes al what is

that that colleague from France he

was here yesterday but you were too busy

now he's back again, I'm busy again

tell him to try the poor man early next week

don't put it off because we yeah it

It seems every inventor in Europe is

heading straight for America, he's got a

letter for you from your manager of

the company in Paris oh well okay okay i will

let him in mr. Tesla Mr. Edison will see

you now hey buddy that's the letter yes

Sir. Edison is

good, he said here here this will introduce

Mr. Nikola Tesla

okay Tesla consider yourself introduced

Mr. Tesla welcome to America

thank you miss it mrs. Mrs. Robert

Johnson and this is my husband

perhaps he would prefer to see you alone oh no, I

would be happy if you would stay mrs.

Johnson but I want to talk about

can benefit all

of humanity

if you say that elsewhere mr. Tesla

I might not be inclined to believe you

but this is the birthplace of many

wonderful things here we are becoming

accustomed to seeing the impossible come

right better think P and Sonny your Q

this man is none other than the editor of

century magazine okay I guess

Sir. Tesla has even heard of the century

where it comes from you are French no

you I have worked there but I

was born in Lika when who knows maybe Lika

is a beautiful birthplace

things that you think you never heard Tom

that place on the border between

Austria and Turkey Lika is a province

of Smee Leon is the best. You know

he said here this is fromthe manager

of my company in Paris there is mr darling.

Edison I know of only two truly great

men in this world you are one of them

and young Nikola Tesla is the other okay

Tesla has come down from the clouds

you have something to show me here mr.

Bricklayer

as you can see this is a rotating magnet

field or for what

it cuts the coil at Point a and induces a

current that flows into the contact

ring at point P you hope that to

start your motor surely and there is

no wasted power from remote

transmission

I think I forgot something that you regret it

has no commutator no need

for this one is changing mr nowadays.

Edison alternately yes using direct

current

you would need over a hundred power plants

to light up New York city and

even then the suburbs were left in

darkness because direct current could not

reach that far but with my system I

guarantee that just one power plant

could light up the whole city and the whole

country also we throw the power

given to us by nature to the wind

electric power in its present form is

not only imperfect it is unnatural as I

know you will agree mr. Edison we are

out of step with the harmony of nature with the

alternating current that we are talking about

energy and our untrimmed degrees

will build new power plants and

destroy the old it's a giant step

forward it will change the whole

world destroy all my power plants

just because this little motor

of yours but Tom, you know what they call

me Tesla they call me the king of

electricity i have changed the world

already and everything i have

achieved has been based on direct

electric current you are going

the wrong way with this believe me

it's a dead end where you

will I'm sorry

I'm so sorry for taking up your

good time I thought you'd like to work

for me You'll have original thoughts

maybe even brilliant ones

because you made one little mistake

doesn't mean I'd rather throw you out of your

ears I could use all the smart people

I can get You'll be here tomorrow

Morning 7 o'clock sharp, thank you me too

goodbye thank you

I'm sure we'll see more of each other

mr Tesla i hope so

me too

Tom you're a great guy huh yes I'm glad

you're so generous he's still very young

and a person who interesting and he came all

the way to America just to work with you

I would hate to see him lose

incidentally I have eyes for brains

Catherine, he's a bit misguided but understands

something the same

oh well knock some sense into him, you'll

see mr. Tesla good afternoon mr. Johnson

Mrs. Johnson is this kind of

scientific experiment or you

actually doing what it looks like you

Doing me dig a ditch mr. Johnson

it's quite clear then you shouldn't

anymore with Edison it's clear -

what happened there's a difference

between us, I'll go see him immediately

then fix it Thank you mr. Johnson but

in some ways this is better than

where I went

if you are really done with Edison

Bob we will find something for you on the Internet

magazine right, Bob give him a

card and please mr. Tesla came out of

that our trenches didn't stop working until 05:00

Madam. Johnson, then seven will be fine

we will see where our home address is

on the card that you promised yes I promise

have Catherine fully explained what I have

in mind for you it is kind of you

and indeed I am very grateful you don't

want that job that's what you said

I'm afraid so

would you really rather dig that

ditch to be on the editorial staff of

century magazine anyone would

honorable mr Johnson Bob Bob but it could

only be temporary and wouldn't

be fair to you

Well I haven't gone, Nicki stayed for

A while then tell Bob a few things

you already told me about that a long time ago

induction water about you and your

family in where you were born

Bleeker didn't ya

Nicki spoke five languages ​​when she

was just a child and her mother invented

all sorts of things too but she couldn't

beat all can you imagine and his

Father is a priest of coursein the

Orthodox Church they are allowed to marry

You are not married are you Nicki

sure if I ever get married it can only be

with someone like you who from

Of course that is not possible

good evening thank you please see mr.

Tesla to the door he must be very poor

yes he bought me flowers - flowers here

he works in the ditch there

well let's go see him there it's Tesla

my name is Hiram Brown president of the

Western Union Telegraph Company very nice

to meet you mr. Brown, I'm ready to

finance the development of your motorcycle ,

sir. Tesla are you ready to finance

all further work on alternating current

also

I haven't really thought about that, let's

see what happens with the first motor I

will build it just in my own

workshop that you expect me to build

for you I will build it mr. bell

You just pay for it You're pretty cocky

aren't you Tess I told you it would

exactly how much do you need

$30,000 and my own workshop then

stop playing ditch-digger and build

here I'll see the check yes no

leave me Gordo

ladies and gentlemen to convince you

that this theory will work I will turn off

the current one way for a moment and

we will light up this hall with my system

turn off the lights

Ladies and gentlemen we are changing

current

[Applause]

You will see how much power is generated

with this little generator and now we

imagine what it would be like if we had

a big generator that could charge

up to this hole is why we can light

the entire state of New York more evenly

than that we can have power for

factories all public transportation

all Industry after we achieve

that greater discoveries lie and just as

During we continue to follow each other's nature

New discoveries will lead to others and

we will revolutionize life on our planet

see mr. Tesla can you back up 30 - an you

with some guarantees you don't really

believe that we put up our money without

knowing the outcome gentlemen I can make

no guarantees other than my findings

I am NOT an insurance company you have to

take my word you have to rely on

intuition and imagination instinct

Now I'm going to switch back to directing

your current. Edison what do you think about mr.

Tesla oh very very capable

of engineering what could be a practical

application of his generator also I am

sorry to say it is not a practical

application at all I said before

gentlemen that I do not consider fantasy

to be any kind of conception at least

all scientific that would be everything

thank you mr. Edison

Oh Mr. Ennis enough for today

next time if that thing has value

you can bet Edison will get it

I'll bet on the wrong horse

Sir. Thomas Tesla Thomas claims your claim

electrical system is impractical

application do you have any comments mr.

Edison was a very practical man , I'm sorry

he felt that way it was

really a pleasure to meet you mr.

Tesla let me congratulate once again to you

Good luck yes yes I also thank you

for your demonstration it was most

impressive even if it was not practical

Thank you gentlemen Sir

. Tesla can you explain a little bit

clearer oh I don't think I have

what more to say that's all for

today thank you gentlemen thank you

goodbye gentlemen

Sir. Tesla allow me to introduce myself

I am the president of George Westinghouse

Pittsburgh electricity how are you i would

be delighted if you would have dinner with me at the

Waldorf that would be a pleasure mr.

Westinghouse call me George

call me Nicola Nicola is fine that's fine Nicola

[Music]

so delicious to abbreviate

Mr. Tesla I'm ready to buy all your

patents for alternating current for a

million dollars what's important is

you'll be able to decide

yourself how your inventions

are used well I'll serve as a sort of

money bag and open money bag what do you

think of it

[Music]

bring me a dozen napkins

please

[Music]

that not sleeping right on its own it

is good i hope you find dinner to your

satisfaction mr. Tesla

[Music]

I think you're in a bit of a hurry mr.

Westinghouse there may be no

scientific progress without risk

people are known to take risks

live what my money for you

very sincerely believe in the project

I would not be here if it were not

above that million dollar son I

ask you to pay me $1 for every

horsepower that we produce I will agree you

will put it in the contract don't be so

quick agree you realize that we are

talking about countless units of

horsepower and how with Edison will not

take it without resistance as long as he

opposes George how do you introduce us

System i will be able to manage it with

your patent the point is you have the truth

on your side tell me the truth mr.

Westinghouse are you helping me because

you believe this will be of value

to science and civilization or are you in

for profit to listen to me my friend

I am an inventor myself but I never

forget that without money I cannot put

my invention into practice so what if I

don't expect to make a little profit

by the map you're mad I'm starting to

believe you some Swiss cheese in

apples and make sure the apples are washed

with boiling water some green air

fruit coffee of course and cheerful test

for your health you know it seems

my wife drinks you're right

I'm so sorry you've confused me Tesla

can I assume that we have an

agreement that you accept I'm kidding

what do you mean there's a fee for

horsepower but I'm not kidding you will

get a dollar for every horsepower

generated you must be rich Tesla so you

can be free and independent

[Music]

what's wrong with testing you just please

take them color="#E5E5E5">go and knock me out

[Music]

Take away the peach without the covering vinegar

Gentlemen I suggest take a short break

those who support me could use a George now

why do you think Adams wants a break

this point is really coming

don't pretend to be innocent like that

is leading this meeting but the one who is

more conspicuous in his absence oh yes

do not do well and listen to me yes I hear

you, Adams Edison, delivered his speech, not yet

George Westinghouse okay also called

Edison spoke first than Westinghouse

and then put forward many proposals to

attach the meeting isthat it is clear

yes yes the proposals of two men we

lucky to have mr. Thomas Alva Edison

is here in the capacity of advisor it

would be very helpful to hear his opinion

Thank you, sir. chairman

now gentlemen i will say this on whether

we pipe water to the plant or build it a

plant near Niagara Falls is a matter to

discuss but there is only one

direct current system already

adopted throughout the world mr.

chairman mr. Chairman Mr. Westinghouse

Mr. - direct-current

is not the only system in existence

there is also mr. Nikola Tesla

alternating current could guarantee the

transmission of power over very large

distances it was simple it was practical

it was a system that mr. Tesla himself

has perfected along with 40 registered

patents now I have here a craftsman The

system is just pure fantasy it

is a dangerous fantasy at that

subject for discussion mr. Edison a

subject I would be happy to discuss with

you

Gentlemen we are discussing a matter

I think it is very important

best to have international

mr Edison competition

you are the best among us

name of the person who will lead the panel

of judges thank you mr. chairman

Gentlemen there is only one such person

in the world I'm sure you will all agree the

great physicist and mathematician

inventor Lord Kelvin of Great Britain

will The International Exposition in

Paris be another triumph for you mr.

Edison my electric current will light up

the whole fair and will you

principles applied at Niagara Falls I am

unaware of the possibility of any

other principles being applied young-run

all of Europe using my system

the whole world actually

Oh what about alternating current how

that should not be considered

alternating current is a danger to humans

turn on the generator

Ladies and gentlemen you have just seen

alternating current in action now the

cruel fact that we had to kill this

little dog but we did it as a precautionary

measure toensure that in

future people will not became a victim of

alternating current in the same way so

we need two places to help improve

humanity not kill it I'm going to ask

Congress to ban the use of

alternating current

[Applause]

Edison make that damned Edison what

happened Roy Oh that committee

Committee will be chaired by God

Kelvin he said on the minions that's why

I chose him but listen to this the

alternating current used in sing-sing

that condemned man William Kemmler

did not have a painless death after all that the

electric current had to be switched on

several times those who built the

electric chair failed to calculate the

voltage needed now not that's

disgusting let me let them visit oh

it's not their fault. George gather

everyone you know as fast as

possible and bring them here tell them

Tesla is going to torture his guests

with electricity they will all come to you.

Enrico Caruso

Mr. Nikola Teslamr. Ignacio wretzky mr.

Nikola Tesla You do mr. Samuel Clemens

aka Mark Twain

Father. Nikola Tesla what pleases mr.

Tesla for all the pleasure you have

given me in your book, I am very much

indebted to you mr. Clemens, i'm happy

here i had a great time dinner mostly i was

blessed with creditors is there anything on

it mr. Clemens I was hoping to see a

some of my criticisms here that I think

I would recommend them for electric

Chairs won't you sit

thank you George

Catherine hello, I'm curious Niki what

it is you plan to do tonight

Catherine, I'm now considered an

executioner

I never believed that for a moment

good sir Jack Wilson mr. Nikola Tesla

what is that and the man here in

front maybe you see two electrodes when

I turn on the electric current there it

will be a voltage of 1 million volts

between them

[Music]

it goes back and forth now if I

touch the electrodes with my hand what do

you think will happen ladies and

gentlemen if my electric current kills

then I deserve to be the victim myself

Nick don't help

[Music]

Sir. Morgan is waiting for the Minister

he is coming here mr. Tesla

you don't shake hands, they tell me what

because the reason I have for Commodore

Edison here tells me you always

wash your hands twenty times a day

and every time there has to be a new

towel I don't need to ask if you two

know each other oh we know each other

well, you also said no

getting coffee or tea so what can I

offer you maybe a whiskey oh that

makes you sound almost Tom man give a

friend here some whiskey, you know some

people are convinced you're crazy

others think you're a counterfeiter

now both of those things can be true when

You can still be some kind of genius

sit down mr. Tesla I want to know what

makes you know you what Edison said

about genius yes one of his pet

quotes genius is 1% inspiration and

99% perspiration he said not

enough sweat and for scientific

In conclusion he said he didn't use any

brain work at all how do you do

put Tesla time last I according to

he said he got mental images the

mental image of the word with

everything complete down to the smallest

detail is how it happened with that

brushless commuter motor from

Tom You are sincere that everything

just appeared to mr. Tesla kind of

Vision it's really more like a flash of

lightning and you get this vision or

Flash suddenly in the middle - of a poem

you should read on the Internet

way somewhere in Hungary yeah it's

good in what

he's a german writer, i'll send you

the translation if you like it too thank you

very mr. Tesla

my motor turns in a big have

mr whiskey you Tesla oh thank you many

many

motors spinning in a big whirlwind

electric rotating magnetic fields

a tremendous energy produced by the balance

of alternating current

Larry current got a six-year patent

then and every detail is the way

it appeared to him and that first mental

picture Adams got the whole story for me

well there's the thing you're reading

there yeah that's the file we put together

on mr. Tesla I never got into anything

blind Tom, you know me well enough

to know that it says here he still

works for you, you give mr. Tesla no

problem to solve for you well what is it

I give my people problems all the time

well this one is definitely important

probably something you can't do

for yourself that said so where did you get

the story we talked to the guy at your

store I could solve that

easily but I happen to be busy with that

lot another problem at the time like

I always have a way we hear it too

you said mr. Tesla if he succeeds

here you give him $ 50,000 then when

he says you don't understand

American sense of humor that isn't

reason needed I am NOT interested

in money

you are not well I

the point is that you stop working for

Edison Osman suggested that I start

work for me sit down, maybe I can

finish yeah frankly Commodore I

am starting to wonder what the heck I am

doing here

I don't think it's fair to hold this

meeting without you what I am right that

about the steel mill in Pittsburgh well

I still waiting for the electrical part

arming them can't wait either i can it

It's been over five months

color="#E5E5E5">since i submitted my plan to mr.

Tesla different ideas huh

well I guess that's one word for that you

know what he did at the Chicago World

Just everything was here huh until that

time there were no big polyphase

generators existed I'd rather hear

from mr. Chess sorry

well I took 24 500 horsepower generators

single phase generators that is

plus them all in pairs and then

hooked them up so that the circuit would be

90 degrees out of phase translating that

into English that means I made the

equivalent of 12 two phase generators

each with a thousand horsepower that

first World's Fair in history

was lit by electricity oh no funny

until now I was

always under the impression that

electric light was something that I

invented of course and now I find it

Mr. Tesla here found it where

you come up with reports like

that on a subject that you can't even

begin to comprehend I just gathered

information mr. Edison of course didn't

pretend to be an educated man of science like Tesla

>you mean he

was educated and I'm not Tom, nobody said

well you don't have to say it everyone

#CCCCCC">knows it's not your own making

so Tesla came to this country with

a portrait of a force-sensitive welcome huh

Well, I never went near a university

to teach myself as I go along yeah and

the first thing I learned was respect

for reason the scientific process

based on provable assumptions controlled

trial and error experiments but the guy educated in

science he does everything by guesswork

he doesn't even have an idea

a hunch i wonder he's gonna screw up

Basie AC this business is changing right

now there is nothing right

about it at all mr. Edison's entire

system was based directly

on Tesla's direct current

despite all the evidence he was convinced his alternating

current system would

never work.

Oh, I see people's visions and

lightning flashes. I feel it. It's Thomas Edison.

suffering from delusions

boil yes, tell us about Frankfurt

Frankfurt Germany Tom or do you not know

what happened in Frankfurt Adams

tell mr. Edison what happened to

Frankfurt Germany

a guy named Olivo, another guy named

[ __ ] those names that were just told

what did they do, they just managed

to transmit electricity over a distance

of 160 kilometers and they used Tesla

system

and it ended up in Europe for God's sake

we have tester here under us

your nose meets General

Electric i'll take care of the finance

side we'll build that prostration

in Niagara soon and what system

you'll use what's wrong with it

tried it but it's useless

complications that's what's wrong with it

and besides it's dangerous if i do it

my way i'll have things damn it is

forbidden by law I hope you don't

leave us unfinished our cards

Game just don't slam the door he does it

every time my friend and Edison also

Tesla stubborn man he is also the

greatest inventor in the history of

the world and if you can prove him wrong

just once I won't say I'll be happy but

I'll tell you this, you and I are in

business

wonderful things are happening Nick

Edison should join General

Electric but they won't swallow us

Nick will swallow them

we got the patent Nick the Niagara

project can't start without us you

realize that it's perfectly possible to get

a hundred thousand or even a million

electrical impulses per second can't you

see what fantastic possibilities that

could open up for us to use energy

Nick you heard what I said about

General Electric about Edison

Niagara. I know what Morgan told me

listen to Nick he plays with people

like their kids play with dolls and

he breaks them like dollars

Morgan's electrical impulses per second

Okay, Nick, that dream is true

as you wish but make sure you wake up

in time for the opening of the Power

Station after that let someone try

to stop you, George, how could everything

stop me mm-hmm, I guess I don't have

an answer for that all the same for a

man who is so sure of himself you

don't look so happy how can I

George there what Nick for some

days now I have seen the truth

[Music]

please phone mr. Tesla is

very urgent I have to see him

immediately I can't disturb him if I

wake him now I will hold you responsible

Mrs. Ito can't keep it I guess we

might as well let him sleep in peace

they still can I'll tell her later I can

ask where the problem is mrs. ito after

all these hotels in the house it will ruin mr.

Tesla's heart his laboratory burned down

it would have completely burned down all

his work would have been lost his inventions his

equipment his plans all went up

smoking

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music] [

Applause]

Ladies and gentlemen America has today its

first electric operated power

plant generating alternating current

we should be grateful to all who have

helped create this power plant

But ladies and gentlemen we should be

don't forget that without Nikola Tesla

the great visionary and inventor there wouldn't be

this would be the

Celebration I've been waiting for

Bravo Nick

we've all been waiting for

[Applause]

when all is said and is done this power

station isn't that important it simply

takes advantage of theory practically

we have long known about than

congratulate ourselves we all should

be ashamed that it was not built

before the real work is yet to come

now we must destroy our distance

the senses tell us about things that are

close

know what what is happening far away we

should be able to transmit scenes from

elsewhere remotely

describe the news and their genes why not

the problem also now we must free the mind

we must free it from the limitations that

space and time impose on it but keep

its main characteristics now and in

centuries here on earth and

thousands of light years into the

unknown

excuse me please I

[Music]

[Music]

capital

tell him that I'm going to Europe Europe

who is in Europe a mother and sister

George what is

Thank you Katherine here please

this way

why don't you come in, he won't let me

explained to mr. Westinghouse I don't

let anyone in the lab but this is

ridiculous

it is mr. Tesla's orders I

I've given up hope on Catherine

look at her my whole future is at stake but

why did you send for me because

Nikola he's in terrible shape

since his mother died so I'm afraid he

might be out of his mind

that's serious Catherine

Zito, I know how you love mr. so much Tesla

us too

you should know that and don't think

he needs our help now yes I admit

I've been worried about him mrs. Johnson

then open Zito's door

attractions and repulsions come together in a

strange effect very stimulating and

electricity and magnetism that attract

George our unique force in nature how are

you nick

Nik please listen to me

I'm fine. I'm at the end of my rope

there's nothing left for me but to ask

for your help

Nik there's a crisis in Pullman laid

off four thousand workers in Chicago

yesterday the National Guard was out

shooting at people in the streets I

can't get any more credit Nick everyone

pulling out they're charging me with

debts of over ten million dollars

that's the money I owe you Nick remember

one dollar for every horsepower General

Electric is behind it all

Morgan wants to swallow the episode

Edison, I can't let him do it , Nick

my company is all my life and I

think Nick if we could share the losses

this little contract George yes Nick I

can't let you do that I owe you the

money is yours you don't owe me

anything George when no one listens to you

believe in me you reach out your hand

when others turn away thank you

Katherine thank you my friend

that's generous Nicki

maybe a little too generous of course

you want to help George Westinghouse

when he's in such trouble but how could

you just ripped off my ten million dollars

I don't have a family, Kathryn. I just need

to continue my work

all that money is just going to get in my way

put it on the right

now to the left

you can make it go to the end and

then come back towards us

but where is the cable mr. Tesla by

this time mr. Adams, I think you

understood man afraid I'm not doing what

you want me to tell the Commodore just

tell him what you've seen and about

the cable tell him there's 10 Tesla this

your little boat

Adams already told you all the tricks that

can do the same thing color="#CCCCCC">i will work on a

larger scale you can actually move energy electrical

energy from one place

to another you can take the power you harness

from Niagara and move it to my

Steel Works in Pittsburgh there is no

limit to the communication possibilities over

very long distances anywhere in Europe

even and without using wires I cannot

contact you color="#CCCCCC">on the phone, Adams, let me hear

that from Tesla's ship in the ocean Tesla

all images of human voices

they're all just electrical impulses and

what is this place you want to go

and working in Colorado Springs rich

in natural electricity what Tesla

color="#E5E5E5">you fixed it so I can send words wirelessly

from one city to another and across

the ocean without wires just give me that

and you go to Colorado Springs or

Timbuktu the sooner you start

the better it's Morgan, he agrees

this is really - - really point turning Nikki

isn't picture and sound moving

through the air without wires you really

want me to swallow you have to believe

for yourself Commodore why else

you would invest your money give money

for Teslas roulette i play it a

game i play it to amuse myself and not

have any particular curiosity he's a madman

or a bug artist

he promises miracles i saw Ike if he

can deliver them

if in a thunderstorm the earth is struck

with light the force creates

concentric waves that slowly expand to

the circle of the globe until they return to

where they started this proves to us

that the earth's crust is a conductor of

electrical energy now if we want

to produce electricity in large amounts

of energy and if we direct it into the

earth's crust then that energy will

traveling in concentric waves there are

rumors you went to Colorado Springs in

To contact Mars is that true it is

possible for us to send waves that can

CCCCCC">travel around the world there are

waves also that can travel to

space how would you talk to

them i never intended to however i

noted certain electrical impulses of

unknown origin and these repeated

at constant time intervals it

perhaps they were some kind of signals from

space did you in turn send them a

message ask the martians that question

but you did send some kind of signal

signal that might not have been received for a

million years

therefore mr. Tesla that you believe in

communication with distant worlds may

one day maybe maybe they have been

sending us messages for a long time, but we

didn't realize it

Sir. Tesla what is that big stack of papers

there on the floor my fire is burning

working in Colorado Springs can you tell us

what it contains new electric

system that is completely different not

yet completely done in what way is

different how it will affect us well

a lot of it is just conjecture

but it may have an important impact on

the future I hope this will lead to a

decisive answer to the energy problem

good afternoon gentlemen

I can't tell you how much it means to me

that I can once again have

the opportunity to see the greatest of

color="#E5E5E5">great

the genius Nikola Tesla I'm so

sorry but I don't remember ever meeting you

Mr. Tesla my name won't mean much to you

I'm a humble follower of your work

I heard you teach in London when I was still there

student that's my greatest memory you've been a

great influence allow me to

introduce myself

Mark as Marconi yellow same pleasure

to meet you Marcus service for You are Mr.

Test I received an idea that I know

is right but I can't formulate you seem to

be aware of things like I think I might

some use in the field of

telecommunications that's what

interests you mr. Marconi, then you have

chosen wisely instinct leads you astray

it can deceive mr. Tesla I came all

the way to America to meet you

is it possible to come and watch

you while you work well of course

that would be very welcome my laboratory

and all my notes are at your disposition

thank you that's great, please

take care mr. Marko is telling the truth

Tesla no one really understands

what this is about i certainly hope so

Commodore i must after all these

years

let's see energy according to your energy

is the big problem of the future of life

and the problem of death and what we use

now the source of energy is

inexhaustible and they are poisoning our

planet i don't pay attention to that believe me

you maybe we can survive the

poison but there will come a day when

this energy source will dry up and

then what will run the whole shebang

down like clockwork not with my project I

can give the world all power that he can

use clean power

and I'm afraid that's afraid yeah I

am afraid that all this time I

will really begin to understand

what you're talking about

but this paranormal business part is I

don't understand this strange story this

about you, they keep getting into

the paper like a train wreck and this

friend what's his name

Mr. Tesla is thought to have told him

that he should not take any account of taking a

particular train and he did not. The

train was destroyed and everyone on board was

killed.

People said it could have been a

coincidence. What is it? The

public minded science and the supernatural.

Don't be sure it was a serious

inventor or a color="#E5E5E5">gypsy fortune teller with

a crystal ball that I don't want to tell

people's fortunes and I'm NOT an

inventor of anything you're a

Columbus discoverer yeah I guess he must have sounded

a bit like you

sometime before his discoveries and there

must have been color="#E5E5E5">pretty much Columbus

we don't know who just sailed

into the wilderness of the wild blue and never

heard again is that where you are

gonna go Tesla lost in

there wild blue or Mars for God's sake

you said I could reach the ship by

Wireless and now you're telling

the newspapers that you reached beyond

space in somewhere out there in the Stars

there is a strong possibility that he will do it

with your chances Tesla keeps all

that while guessing yourself it's not

just kiss Commodore oh, as long as

because I support you, I can't let it

the world I think is related to

peanuts

You have whiskey as usual Nick I'll have

>a champagne with you, Bob

pleasure

a good drink let's for this new project

you also drink to you our new

ambassador in Rome I bought the sale early

tomorrow morning and I won't dream

away until you tell us all about it

there's not much to say what he meant

there's not much he wants to do why

all the secrecy was Morgan's idea, he

made it a condition that you two play

cat and mouse together i think Morgan is

afraid of you it will be pointless

maybe you should i think Nick is

still convinced that he will change

the world and i hope he's right

of course i'm right, you're an incurable

optimist i wouldn't want to cure what

you mean is that you won't ever want

to see the end of all

His dream but honey you know

yourself that you always ask him

to face the reality my tower it is reality

you will see we are on the verge of

a World War in it wha what is all this

about war, I hope Tesla does not

concentrate on that subject he is much

too smart you will find some stupid things

to blow us to kingdom come

only mr opposite. Twain instead of

sending armies of humans marching out onto the

battlefield we could build robots to do the fighting

for us

look - look if you ever create a robot

to do our drinking for us then I for one

will fight you to the death

[Music]

you really think there will be

wars there shouldn't be no it's not that

people use their heads and who knows

someday if we get lucky and there won't be

wars maybe we could go

long enough to visit that

place far away from where you were born

leak there you see I still remember

name I wish you could know me

mom I wish I could know you

Nicki I mean in a way that has never happened

maybe there are times when I think

that everything is possible

I remember what your mother said that

time when you made yourself a pair of

wings and climbed onto the roofof your

house and tried to fly You are not a bird

Nikola he said you are a man

[Music]

don't bother me about the money the workers

should know that they will we've been paid

there's Morgan behind this

yes mr. Tesla

Sir. Tesla I have been ordered to show

you this in case you don't happen

to see

Mr. Tesla he wants to see you right away

there is one promise with all those damn

visions and your lightning flashes

one tough promise I think I can count

on I will be able to send

messages to faraway places without any

wires and now pretty sure things

have been discovered but not by you Tesla no by

some ear Italian Marconi whatever well

he made some kind of box he talked

England with it and I had to buy the

patent from him what if he stole it

from you you aren't the only one with

ideas you know there were Jews

in Germany Einstein the whole

world scientific talk about it

new theory and in Paris what is

about Paris they have split the atom

whatever it means it could mean a

new source of energy

[Music]

such energy is created by destroying

natural elements which is a serious crime

against nature and one day it will happen

bringing disaster the world is at

a crossroads now and if we miss

this opportunity we will be held accountable

by future generations opportunity just watch

Commodore we send energy all energy to

the outer shell of the earth the

ionosphere energy from the ocean winds

and the Chi from the Sun we no longer need

to burn or destroy anything we simplify

take what already exists and put

it to our use in unlimited quantities

[Laughter]

[Music]

[Applause]

You want me to believe all this is

possible but I've proven it

it's all in the fight that we have

to do is apply it

Adams yeah come on you've seen all of this

yes one source of energy that

what does this mean right Tesla yes that

right

and anyone can draw on it anyone in

the world the outer shell of the earthremember

around the entire planet

yes the power will belong to everyone likes

the air we breathe because there are some

financial details we have to discuss

Tesla, I won't keep you any longer, I know

you're anxious you must get back to your

job we'll ship this thing in honey I

forgot you let me shake your hand

if only if he wasn't crazy

that guy could turn the world

under standards on its head yes i do

believe he can that's amazing

Amazing prospect listen if it's a

Crazy man can actually do what he says

could be know what's going to happen

no sir

one source of energy that's what's going to

happen it's just going to so anyone in

all just stick it in turn in his

backyard and okay cancel and we won't do it

there's anything left to sell antenna

will generate power and anyone

who feels like it can milk our cows

for free too no thank you sir. Tesla I don't

contribute to that charity, write him a

letter from seven ready for me

come in morning Commodore what

should I tell him to say goodbye to him

[Music]

[Music]

after all these years he still refuses

to answer

I showed him what the world is like

he will tell me he said when he be

ready I'm still alive
