1
00:00:58,476 --> 00:01:00,306
Are you watching closely?

2
00:01:07,116 --> 00:01:11,606
Every magic trick consists
of three parts, or acts.

3
00:01:11,686 --> 00:01:15,086
The first part is called "the pledge".

4
00:01:15,156 --> 00:01:18,526
The magician shows you something ordinary.

5
00:01:18,596 --> 00:01:22,056
A deck of cards, a bird or a man.

6
00:01:29,166 --> 00:01:31,106
He shows you this object.

7
00:01:31,176 --> 00:01:33,766
Perhaps he asks you to inspect it,

8
00:01:33,846 --> 00:01:36,866
to see that it is indeed real,

9
00:01:36,946 --> 00:01:40,006
unaltered, normal.

10
00:01:43,656 --> 00:01:46,556
But, of course, it probably isn't.

11
00:01:46,626 --> 00:01:48,416
Where do you think you're going?

12
00:01:48,486 --> 00:01:50,856
I'm part of the bloody act, you fool.

13
00:02:03,776 --> 00:02:06,236
The second act is called "the turn".

14
00:02:20,726 --> 00:02:23,746
The magician takes the ordinary something

15
00:02:25,356 --> 00:02:28,416
and makes it do something extraordinary.

16
00:02:32,936 --> 00:02:37,026
Now you're looking for the
secret, but you won't find it,

17
00:02:37,106 --> 00:02:40,936
because, of course, you're
not really looking.

18
00:02:41,006 --> 00:02:42,636
You don't really want to know.

19
00:02:45,776 --> 00:02:48,276
You want to be... fooled.

20
00:02:49,956 --> 00:02:52,386
But you wouldn't clap yet,

21
00:02:52,456 --> 00:02:56,616
because making something
disappear isn't enough.

22
00:02:56,696 --> 00:03:00,286
You have to bring it back.

23
00:03:01,796 --> 00:03:05,566
That's why every magic
trick has a third act.

24
00:03:05,636 --> 00:03:07,296
The hardest part.

25
00:03:07,366 --> 00:03:09,896
The part we call...

26
00:03:09,976 --> 00:03:11,306
..."the prestige".

27
00:03:22,086 --> 00:03:26,286
The prestige? And did Robert Angier,
the Great Danton, your employer,

28
00:03:26,356 --> 00:03:28,786
get to that final part
of his trick that night?

29
00:03:28,856 --> 00:03:30,946
- No, sir. Something went wrong.
- What went wrong?

30
00:03:32,126 --> 00:03:35,616
I saw someone making their way below stage.

31
00:03:35,696 --> 00:03:37,596
I followed him.

32
00:03:37,666 --> 00:03:40,926
It was Borden, watching Mr. Angier drown.

33
00:03:41,006 --> 00:03:44,436
Would you please describe your
occupation to the jury, Mr. Cutter.

34
00:03:44,506 --> 00:03:46,876
I'm an ingénieur, I design illusions

35
00:03:46,946 --> 00:03:50,106
and construct the apparatus
necessary for performing them.

36
00:03:50,176 --> 00:03:54,616
So, Mr. Cutter, was this
water-filled tank beneath the stage

37
00:03:54,686 --> 00:03:56,276
part of Mr. Angier's illusion?

38
00:03:56,346 --> 00:04:00,216
No. The tank was brought
on for the first trick

39
00:04:00,286 --> 00:04:02,256
and then taken offstage.

40
00:04:02,326 --> 00:04:05,626
Borden must have placed it under
the trap door after the end of it.

41
00:04:05,696 --> 00:04:07,256
How large was this tank?

42
00:04:07,326 --> 00:04:09,926
It's a normal tank for escape under water,

43
00:04:09,996 --> 00:04:12,126
about 400 or 500 gallons.

44
00:04:12,196 --> 00:04:14,686
How do you think he was
able to move the tank

45
00:04:14,766 --> 00:04:17,136
under the trap door
without anyone noticing?

46
00:04:17,206 --> 00:04:19,566
He's a magician, ask him.

47
00:04:19,636 --> 00:04:20,736
I ask again,

48
00:04:20,806 --> 00:04:24,036
would this man explain the mechanics of Mr.
Angier's illusion.

49
00:04:24,116 --> 00:04:27,446
The Real Transported Man is one of
the most sought after illusions

50
00:04:27,516 --> 00:04:28,706
in this business.

51
00:04:28,786 --> 00:04:30,346
I have the right to sell it on.

52
00:04:30,416 --> 00:04:33,046
If I reveal the method here,
the trick is worthless.

53
00:04:33,116 --> 00:04:35,386
How can we know that the tank wasn't simply

54
00:04:35,456 --> 00:04:37,926
some part of the trick that went wrong?

55
00:04:37,996 --> 00:04:40,056
Mr. Cutter, I see your predicament.

56
00:04:40,126 --> 00:04:42,526
But Alfred Borden's life
hangs in the balance.

57
00:04:42,596 --> 00:04:45,756
If you were prepared to disclose
the details to me in private,

58
00:04:45,836 --> 00:04:48,666
I might be able to judge
their relevance to the case.

59
00:04:48,736 --> 00:04:51,366
Might this be an acceptable compromise?

60
00:05:09,656 --> 00:05:13,026
I'm going to have to ask you
to turn out your pockets.

61
00:05:17,166 --> 00:05:20,726
Not my idea, sir. The warden saw
his show in Manchester last year

62
00:05:20,806 --> 00:05:22,666
where he vanished into thin air.

63
00:05:22,736 --> 00:05:25,226
He's convinced he'll try and escape.

64
00:05:28,646 --> 00:05:31,436
I told him the only way
Borden's going to disappear

65
00:05:31,516 --> 00:05:33,946
is if I leave him out there
with the other inmates.

66
00:05:39,816 --> 00:05:41,156
Check the locks...

67
00:05:42,856 --> 00:05:44,416
...twice.

68
00:05:51,496 --> 00:05:54,026
My name is Owens.

69
00:05:54,106 --> 00:05:56,366
I'm a solicitor.

70
00:05:56,436 --> 00:06:00,096
I represent Lord Caldlow, an
accomplished amateur magician and...

71
00:06:00,176 --> 00:06:02,766
How much?

72
00:06:02,846 --> 00:06:05,176
- He is interested...
- How much for my tricks?

73
00:06:05,246 --> 00:06:06,836
Five thousand pounds.

74
00:06:06,916 --> 00:06:09,406
Talk to Fallon, my ingénieur.
Money's for him.

75
00:06:09,486 --> 00:06:13,176
Yes, I did. He offered
to sell me your tricks.

76
00:06:13,256 --> 00:06:16,126
All except the most valuable
one, The Transported Man.

77
00:06:16,186 --> 00:06:19,486
Well, I won't forgive myself
for selling my greatest trick.

78
00:06:19,556 --> 00:06:20,996
Even for your daughter?

79
00:06:22,666 --> 00:06:26,996
If you are for the drop, your daughter
is going to need looking after.

80
00:06:27,066 --> 00:06:28,796
Fallon will take care of her.

81
00:06:28,866 --> 00:06:30,596
Perfect, Fallon.

82
00:06:30,676 --> 00:06:32,696
A man with a past as obscure as your own.

83
00:06:32,776 --> 00:06:37,806
The courts have motioned she be removed
from his care. She will be an orphan.

84
00:06:37,876 --> 00:06:40,146
I know you're no stranger to the workhouse.

85
00:06:40,916 --> 00:06:42,746
It's better than here?

86
00:06:42,816 --> 00:06:46,046
I'm offering you a way to wrap
up your affairs with dignity.

87
00:06:46,116 --> 00:06:48,086
I'm offering your daughter a future.

88
00:06:48,156 --> 00:06:51,186
As Lord Caldlow's ward, she
will want for nothing...

89
00:06:51,256 --> 00:06:53,086
...ever.

90
00:06:53,156 --> 00:06:56,156
Well, think it over.

91
00:06:56,226 --> 00:06:59,996
And Lord Caldlow would
like you to have this,

92
00:07:00,066 --> 00:07:02,596
as a show of good faith.
It might be of interest.

93
00:07:02,666 --> 00:07:06,196
Robert Angier's diary, including
the time he spent in Colorado

94
00:07:06,276 --> 00:07:07,536
learning your trick.

95
00:07:07,606 --> 00:07:09,306
- He never learned it.
- Really?

96
00:07:09,376 --> 00:07:12,906
On his return, he mounted a
version of The Transported Man

97
00:07:12,976 --> 00:07:16,936
that the papers said was better
even than your original.

98
00:07:17,016 --> 00:07:18,316
If you want Angier's secrets,

99
00:07:19,286 --> 00:07:23,846
you go dig him up and ask him yourself.

100
00:07:23,926 --> 00:07:25,786
I want your secret, Mr. Borden.

101
00:07:28,726 --> 00:07:30,166
Consider your daughter.

102
00:07:37,606 --> 00:07:39,576
A cipher,

103
00:07:39,636 --> 00:07:41,666
an enigma...

104
00:07:43,576 --> 00:07:45,406
...a search,

105
00:07:45,476 --> 00:07:46,466
a search for answers.

106
00:07:54,156 --> 00:07:57,956
Even if Colorado is the end of my journey,

107
00:07:58,026 --> 00:08:01,226
it'll take much longer to unravel

108
00:08:01,296 --> 00:08:03,196
the rest of Borden's secrets.

109
00:08:05,336 --> 00:08:07,236
See, the cipher in his notebook is

110
00:08:07,306 --> 00:08:09,796
unlocked by a single word,

111
00:08:09,866 --> 00:08:12,836
but it will still take months
to translate his writing.

112
00:08:12,906 --> 00:08:15,676
And to know his mind.

113
00:08:18,616 --> 00:08:20,946
Well, my passion is equal to the task.

114
00:08:34,026 --> 00:08:37,556
Mr. Angier, welcome to Colorado Springs.

115
00:08:52,946 --> 00:08:56,006
- The whole town has electricity.
- Yes, sir.

116
00:09:13,196 --> 00:09:14,686
Well...

117
00:09:14,766 --> 00:09:16,256
...quite a reception.

118
00:09:16,336 --> 00:09:18,826
You're our first guest of
the season, Mr. Angier.

119
00:09:18,906 --> 00:09:22,396
Your telegram didn't indicate how
long you'd be staying with us.

120
00:09:22,476 --> 00:09:24,106
As long as it takes.

121
00:09:24,176 --> 00:09:27,446
I will need a coach tomorrow
to take me up the mountain.

122
00:09:27,516 --> 00:09:29,246
Well, the peak's closed, sir.

123
00:09:29,316 --> 00:09:31,146
For scientific experimentation.

124
00:09:31,216 --> 00:09:33,186
Yes, I know.

125
00:09:33,256 --> 00:09:34,546
That's why I'm here.

126
00:09:45,736 --> 00:09:48,666
You'll have to walk the
rest, I'm afraid, sir.

127
00:10:24,276 --> 00:10:27,436
I'm amazed how many of
you newspaper writers

128
00:10:27,506 --> 00:10:29,566
can't read my sign.

129
00:10:34,316 --> 00:10:36,906
Not the welcome I was expecting.

130
00:10:39,886 --> 00:10:41,946
I know you.

131
00:10:45,926 --> 00:10:47,446
You're the Great Danton.

132
00:10:47,526 --> 00:10:49,826
I saw your show in London.

133
00:10:49,896 --> 00:10:52,666
Seven times you guessed every object

134
00:10:52,736 --> 00:10:54,966
the audience had in their pockets.

135
00:10:55,036 --> 00:10:59,096
I'm Alley. Sorry about the fence.
People keep interfering with our work.

136
00:10:59,176 --> 00:11:01,836
- I've come to see Tesla.
- Why?

137
00:11:01,906 --> 00:11:05,966
He made a machine for a colleague
of mine some time ago.

138
00:11:06,046 --> 00:11:09,536
- Can you get me a meeting with him?
- Impossible, I'm afraid.

139
00:11:09,616 --> 00:11:11,846
I've brought a lot of money.

140
00:11:11,916 --> 00:11:13,576
I'm sorry, Mr. Angier.

141
00:11:14,656 --> 00:11:16,316
I simply can't help.

142
00:11:18,396 --> 00:11:21,516
I'll be staying at the hotel, indefinitely.

143
00:11:24,866 --> 00:11:26,956
Hey, what am I holding?

144
00:11:27,036 --> 00:11:28,336
Your watch.

145
00:11:33,136 --> 00:11:36,636
Borden's journal entry for April 3,1897,

146
00:11:36,706 --> 00:11:38,806
describes a show at the Orpheum Theatre.

147
00:11:38,876 --> 00:11:41,776
That was just days after he first met me.

148
00:11:44,516 --> 00:11:47,886
We were two young men at the
start of a great career,

149
00:11:47,956 --> 00:11:50,286
two young men devoted to an illusion,

150
00:11:50,356 --> 00:11:52,916
two young men who never
intended to hurt anyone.

151
00:11:52,996 --> 00:11:54,756
Which of you brave souls

152
00:11:54,826 --> 00:11:57,556
is willing to bind this lovely young woman?

153
00:11:59,336 --> 00:12:01,266
Me!

154
00:12:09,746 --> 00:12:11,266
If you would tie her wrists,

155
00:12:11,876 --> 00:12:14,246
bind her feet...

156
00:12:14,316 --> 00:12:16,836
...around the ankle.

157
00:12:16,916 --> 00:12:19,006
Are either of you two gentlemen sailors?

158
00:12:19,086 --> 00:12:20,916
- No.
- No.

159
00:12:21,726 --> 00:12:24,816
I'm sure you can both tie a strong knot.

160
00:13:27,926 --> 00:13:31,516
He's complacent, he's
predictable, he's boring.

161
00:13:31,596 --> 00:13:34,156
Milton has gotten success,
whatever that means,

162
00:13:34,226 --> 00:13:37,456
so now he's scared. He won't
take any risks at all.

163
00:13:37,536 --> 00:13:40,596
He's squandering the goodwill
of his audience with tired,

164
00:13:40,666 --> 00:13:43,266
- second-rate tricks...
- They're all favorites.

165
00:13:43,336 --> 00:13:46,826
Give me something fresh. He won't
even try a bloody bullet catch.

166
00:13:46,906 --> 00:13:48,736
A bullet catch is suicide.

167
00:13:48,806 --> 00:13:52,806
All it takes is some smartass volunteer
to put a button in the barrel.

168
00:13:52,876 --> 00:13:55,146
- Use a plant.
- You can't for every trick.

169
00:13:55,316 --> 00:13:57,186
No seats left for the punters.

170
00:13:57,256 --> 00:14:01,056
All right, no bullet catch, whatever,
but the point is a real magician

171
00:14:01,126 --> 00:14:02,746
tries to invent something new

172
00:14:02,826 --> 00:14:05,686
that other magicians will
scratch their heads over.

173
00:14:05,756 --> 00:14:07,956
Then you sell it to him
for a small fortune.

174
00:14:08,026 --> 00:14:11,126
- What?
- I suppose you have such a trick?

175
00:14:11,196 --> 00:14:13,756
- I sure do.
- Would you care to sell it to me?

176
00:14:13,836 --> 00:14:15,426
No. No one else can do my trick.

177
00:14:15,506 --> 00:14:17,626
- Any trick can be duplicated.
- Wrong.

178
00:14:17,706 --> 00:14:21,436
If Mr. Borden has invented his masterpiece,

179
00:14:21,506 --> 00:14:23,406
he's prepared to do it.

180
00:14:23,476 --> 00:14:25,606
Milton is a showman, but Borden is right,

181
00:14:25,676 --> 00:14:27,306
he won't get his hands dirty.

182
00:14:27,386 --> 00:14:30,946
If you want to see what it
takes to make real magic,

183
00:14:31,016 --> 00:14:34,856
go to the Tenley. There's a Chinaman
there and he really has what it takes.

184
00:14:34,926 --> 00:14:37,156
- Chung Ling Soo.
- I can't afford that.

185
00:14:37,226 --> 00:14:38,956
I know the bloke run the door.

186
00:14:39,026 --> 00:14:43,356
You two go and see that show, and
whichever one of you can tell me

187
00:14:43,426 --> 00:14:46,526
how he does the goldfish
bowl trick gets the prize.

188
00:14:46,596 --> 00:14:48,866
- Which is?
- Ten minutes onstage

189
00:14:48,936 --> 00:14:50,766
with my old friend, Mr. Ackerman.

190
00:14:50,836 --> 00:14:52,266
- Really?
- Who's Ackerman?

191
00:14:52,336 --> 00:14:55,396
The top theatrical agent in London.

192
00:14:55,476 --> 00:14:58,466
- I saw you drop the knot again.
- I turned my wrists.

193
00:14:58,546 --> 00:15:01,176
Some nights you just don't get it, do you?

194
00:15:01,246 --> 00:15:04,116
I mean, if that knot slips
and Julia's on the hoist,

195
00:15:04,186 --> 00:15:05,276
she'll break her leg.

196
00:15:05,356 --> 00:15:06,976
It's the wrong knot.

197
00:15:07,056 --> 00:15:09,926
Like I said, the Langford
double will hold tighter.

198
00:15:09,986 --> 00:15:13,516
The Langford double isn't a wet knot.
It's too dangerous.

199
00:15:13,596 --> 00:15:15,826
If the rope swells, she can't slip it.

200
00:15:15,896 --> 00:15:19,126
- I can slip a Langford underwater.
- We can practice.

201
00:15:19,196 --> 00:15:23,136
- Borden, he said no.
- Oh, you know knots better than me?

202
00:15:23,206 --> 00:15:25,196
Listen, no more mistakes.

203
00:15:25,276 --> 00:15:27,966
All right. Yeah? Do you?
You want to take over?

204
00:15:28,046 --> 00:15:30,976
- Just leave.
- I didn't think so.

205
00:15:35,416 --> 00:15:37,246
Hey, Cutter, where's he from?

206
00:15:37,316 --> 00:15:40,616
Where are you from? He shifts
props for Virgil at the hall.

207
00:15:40,686 --> 00:15:43,846
- Worried he'll steal your tricks?
- Doesn't deal in methods.

208
00:15:43,926 --> 00:15:46,986
- How do you know?
- Because I hired him

209
00:15:47,056 --> 00:15:50,296
to find out how Virgil
does the orange trick.

210
00:15:50,366 --> 00:15:52,696
- I don't trust him.
- He's a natural magician.

211
00:15:52,766 --> 00:15:54,856
'Course you can't trust him.

212
00:15:54,936 --> 00:15:56,296
I think he's all right.

213
00:15:56,366 --> 00:15:58,706
- You think everyone's all right.
- Even you.

214
00:15:58,776 --> 00:16:02,606
Watch your sightlines. If I can see
you kiss your wife's leg every night,

215
00:16:02,676 --> 00:16:05,336
so can the blokes at the
ends of rows three and four!

216
00:16:37,416 --> 00:16:39,846
You're wrong. It can't be.

217
00:16:39,916 --> 00:16:43,646
- Look at the man.
- This is the trick.

218
00:16:43,716 --> 00:16:45,746
This is the performance. Right here.

219
00:16:45,816 --> 00:16:48,186
This is why no one can detect his method.

220
00:16:49,956 --> 00:16:51,546
Total devotion to his art.

221
00:16:52,556 --> 00:16:54,286
A lot of self-sacrifice.

222
00:16:54,366 --> 00:16:56,726
You know.

223
00:16:56,796 --> 00:16:59,496
It's the only way to escape...

224
00:16:59,566 --> 00:17:01,996
...all this, you know?

225
00:17:05,776 --> 00:17:09,466
I can barely lift this thing and
it's not even filled with water.

226
00:17:11,116 --> 00:17:13,446
Or fish, look.

227
00:17:13,516 --> 00:17:15,776
I don't know. Hang on a second.

228
00:17:17,716 --> 00:17:20,416
He must be strong as an ox.

229
00:17:23,056 --> 00:17:25,886
He's been pretending to
be a cripple for years.

230
00:17:25,956 --> 00:17:29,556
Any time he's in public, any time
he goes out. It's unthinkable.

231
00:17:29,626 --> 00:17:32,566
Borden saw it at once. But
I couldn't fathom it.

232
00:17:32,636 --> 00:17:35,496
Living my whole life
pretending to be someone else.

233
00:17:35,566 --> 00:17:37,296
You are pretending.

234
00:17:37,366 --> 00:17:39,396
I don't think changing a name compares.

235
00:17:39,476 --> 00:17:41,946
Not your name. Who you are
and where you're from.

236
00:17:42,006 --> 00:17:45,966
I promised I wouldn't embarrass my
family with my theatrical endeavors.

237
00:17:47,486 --> 00:17:49,746
I thought of a name for you.

238
00:17:51,116 --> 00:17:54,606
The Great Danton.

239
00:17:54,686 --> 00:17:57,656
Do you like it? But it's sophisticated.

240
00:17:57,726 --> 00:17:59,156
It's French.

241
00:18:05,136 --> 00:18:09,296
Borden writes as if no one but he
understood the true nature of magic.

242
00:18:14,946 --> 00:18:17,676
But what does he know of self-sacrifice?

243
00:18:22,786 --> 00:18:24,906
You bloody fool.

244
00:18:52,476 --> 00:18:56,076
- He killed it.
- It's OK.

245
00:18:56,146 --> 00:18:59,986
- He killed it.
- He didn't.

246
00:19:04,056 --> 00:19:05,756
Look, now he'll bring it back.

247
00:19:07,996 --> 00:19:10,926
- No, he killed it.
- No, he didn't.

248
00:19:19,236 --> 00:19:22,206
Look, see, he's all right. He's fine.

249
00:19:22,276 --> 00:19:26,376
- Look at him.
- But where's his brother?

250
00:19:29,086 --> 00:19:32,346
He's a sharp lad, your son.

251
00:19:32,416 --> 00:19:35,016
Oh, he's my nephew.

252
00:19:40,826 --> 00:19:42,316
You're the lucky one today.

253
00:20:02,916 --> 00:20:06,076
Are you watching closely?

254
00:20:08,856 --> 00:20:10,346
Look closer.

255
00:20:13,426 --> 00:20:15,226
Never show anyone.

256
00:20:15,296 --> 00:20:18,026
They'll beg you and flatter
you for the secret,

257
00:20:18,096 --> 00:20:21,586
but as soon as you give it up,
you'll be nothing to them.

258
00:20:21,666 --> 00:20:23,936
You understand? Nothing.

259
00:20:24,006 --> 00:20:27,066
The secret impresses no one.

260
00:20:27,136 --> 00:20:30,736
The trick you use it for is everything.

261
00:20:34,986 --> 00:20:37,916
Well, thank you for lunch, Mr. Borden.

262
00:20:37,986 --> 00:20:39,476
You're welcome.

263
00:20:40,916 --> 00:20:42,586
Alfred, it's Alfred.

264
00:20:42,656 --> 00:20:44,246
Alfred.

265
00:20:44,326 --> 00:20:47,296
So I could use a cup of tea.

266
00:20:47,356 --> 00:20:50,886
I can't allow... It's the landlord.
It's not...

267
00:20:52,336 --> 00:20:55,566
You think that's... Is that
enough to keep me out?

268
00:20:55,636 --> 00:20:58,866
I think so.

269
00:20:59,876 --> 00:21:01,466
So I'll see you again?

270
00:21:10,686 --> 00:21:13,176
Milk and sugar?

271
00:21:34,276 --> 00:21:36,246
What's in there?

272
00:21:36,306 --> 00:21:38,246
Angier's machine.

273
00:21:46,816 --> 00:21:48,446
You built this, Mr. Cutter?

274
00:21:48,526 --> 00:21:51,386
Oh, no, sir. This wasn't
built by a magician.

275
00:21:51,456 --> 00:21:53,486
This was built by a wizard.

276
00:21:53,556 --> 00:21:58,556
A man who can actually do
what magicians pretend to do.

277
00:21:58,636 --> 00:22:02,826
Tell me, Your Honor, what happens
with these things after the trial?

278
00:22:02,906 --> 00:22:04,866
They've been sold to a Lord Caldlow.

279
00:22:04,936 --> 00:22:07,706
An avid collector, very
interested in the case.

280
00:22:07,776 --> 00:22:10,266
Yeah. Well, don't let him take this.

281
00:22:10,346 --> 00:22:13,146
- Why ever not?
- It's too dangerous.

282
00:22:13,316 --> 00:22:15,376
I'm sure beneath its bells and whistles

283
00:22:15,446 --> 00:22:17,746
it's got a simple and disappointing trick.

284
00:22:17,816 --> 00:22:20,256
The most disappointing of all, sir.

285
00:22:22,426 --> 00:22:24,116
It has no trick.

286
00:22:26,556 --> 00:22:28,156
It's real.

287
00:22:31,266 --> 00:22:33,566
This is the tank Angier drowned in?

288
00:22:33,636 --> 00:22:35,696
Yes.

289
00:22:35,766 --> 00:22:37,926
This is the...

290
00:22:38,006 --> 00:22:41,066
...place where the performer's
hand reaches through

291
00:22:41,146 --> 00:22:42,406
to the trick padlock.

292
00:22:42,476 --> 00:22:44,736
A standard magical apparatus for escapes?

293
00:22:44,816 --> 00:22:47,306
Yeah, with one important difference.

294
00:22:47,376 --> 00:22:49,406
This isn't a trick lock.

295
00:22:49,486 --> 00:22:51,446
It's been switched for a real one.

296
00:22:51,516 --> 00:22:53,486
What a way to kill someone.

297
00:22:53,556 --> 00:22:56,246
They're magicians, Your Honor.

298
00:22:56,326 --> 00:23:01,726
Showmen, men who live by dressing up
plain and sometimes brutal truths,

299
00:23:02,126 --> 00:23:04,896
to amaze, to shock.

300
00:23:04,966 --> 00:23:07,126
Even without an audience?

301
00:23:08,306 --> 00:23:10,266
There was an audience.

302
00:23:11,106 --> 00:23:13,166
You see, this water tank

303
00:23:13,236 --> 00:23:16,676
was of particular significance
to these two men.

304
00:23:17,976 --> 00:23:20,506
Particularly awful significance.

305
00:23:23,416 --> 00:23:28,406
Which of you brave souls is willing
to bind this lovely young woman?

306
00:23:30,986 --> 00:23:32,476
If you would tie her wrists,

307
00:23:32,556 --> 00:23:34,716
bind her feet around the ankle.

308
00:23:47,946 --> 00:23:50,536
- Are either of you gentlemen sailors?
- No.

309
00:23:52,516 --> 00:23:54,706
I'm sure you can both tie a strong knot.

310
00:24:49,906 --> 00:24:51,096
Robert!

311
00:25:13,256 --> 00:25:14,656
No, no.

312
00:25:18,636 --> 00:25:21,156
Julia. Julia!

313
00:26:05,846 --> 00:26:08,716
I knew an old sailor once.

314
00:26:08,786 --> 00:26:11,686
They told me he went overboard,

315
00:26:11,756 --> 00:26:13,846
tangled in the sails.

316
00:26:13,916 --> 00:26:15,716
They pulled him out,

317
00:26:15,786 --> 00:26:19,686
but it took him five minutes to cough.

318
00:26:19,756 --> 00:26:21,786
He said it was like...

319
00:26:21,866 --> 00:26:23,696
...going home.

320
00:26:29,036 --> 00:26:31,366
What do you want, Borden?

321
00:26:38,176 --> 00:26:40,206
I'm sorry for your loss, Angier.

322
00:26:44,016 --> 00:26:46,076
Which knot did you tie?

323
00:26:49,226 --> 00:26:52,156
I keep asking myself that.

324
00:26:52,226 --> 00:26:54,216
- And?
- And...

325
00:26:55,966 --> 00:26:58,826
I'm sorry, I just don't know.

326
00:27:00,896 --> 00:27:02,386
You don't know?

327
00:27:04,236 --> 00:27:06,176
I'm sorry.

328
00:27:07,136 --> 00:27:09,736
You don't know?

329
00:27:13,346 --> 00:27:15,546
You don't know?!

330
00:27:21,826 --> 00:27:25,156
- Alfred?
- Good news. We got our first booking.

331
00:27:25,626 --> 00:27:27,556
I don't think we've had the pleasure.

332
00:27:27,626 --> 00:27:30,656
- Mr. Fallon is my ingénieur.
- Where did you get all...?

333
00:27:30,726 --> 00:27:34,726
- I had to borrow and... don't ask.
- He's a very enterprising soul

334
00:27:34,806 --> 00:27:36,596
is... is Mr. Fallon. So...

335
00:27:36,666 --> 00:27:40,106
- We can't afford to pay him.
- The money will come with the audience.

336
00:27:40,176 --> 00:27:43,866
But what about until then? What I
earn, it's barely enough for us.

337
00:27:43,946 --> 00:27:47,906
Don't worry about it. I'll share
half my food with him or something.

338
00:27:47,976 --> 00:27:50,946
You're going to be doing
that with someone else.

339
00:27:51,016 --> 00:27:52,916
No. You're...

340
00:27:52,986 --> 00:27:55,246
Having a baby.

341
00:27:55,326 --> 00:27:58,226
Oh, my God.

342
00:27:58,296 --> 00:28:01,126
We should have told Fallon. That is great.

343
00:28:01,196 --> 00:28:03,666
Oh, come here.

344
00:28:03,726 --> 00:28:06,696
Oh.

345
00:28:06,766 --> 00:28:08,286
Alfred, what is this?

346
00:28:08,366 --> 00:28:12,536
Oh, this is just the trick to work
Ackerman up at the end of my act.

347
00:28:12,606 --> 00:28:15,306
Is it the masterpiece, the great trick?

348
00:28:15,376 --> 00:28:18,136
No, no, no, the world is not
ready for that one yet.

349
00:28:18,316 --> 00:28:22,546
This is just your run-of-the-mill,
daring, spectacular bullet catch.

350
00:28:22,616 --> 00:28:25,136
- A bullet catch.
- Yeah, but it's safe.

351
00:28:25,216 --> 00:28:27,516
I promise. Look.

352
00:28:29,886 --> 00:28:32,156
- Shoot me.
- Shoot you?

353
00:28:32,226 --> 00:28:33,456
Go on, shoot me.

354
00:28:35,966 --> 00:28:37,986
- Right there.
- No, I can't.

355
00:28:38,066 --> 00:28:40,626
No, no, not there. Shoot me here. Don't...

356
00:28:44,876 --> 00:28:47,736
How's that?

357
00:28:47,806 --> 00:28:51,136
That's very good. Tell me how you do it.

358
00:28:51,206 --> 00:28:52,336
No, I can't do that.

359
00:28:54,416 --> 00:28:57,276
- Well, then you can't do it.
- I can't do it?

360
00:28:57,346 --> 00:29:00,686
I'm sorry, but I can't
raise a child on my own.

361
00:29:00,756 --> 00:29:03,086
You don't tell anybody that I told you.

362
00:29:03,156 --> 00:29:05,486
- OK.
- Gunpowder.

363
00:29:08,056 --> 00:29:09,186
Wadding.

364
00:29:10,826 --> 00:29:12,926
Then the bullet.

365
00:29:13,536 --> 00:29:15,266
Ramrod.

366
00:29:19,976 --> 00:29:21,966
Hold out your hand.

367
00:29:24,046 --> 00:29:27,976
The bullet is not even in the
gun when the charge is fired.

368
00:29:28,046 --> 00:29:31,816
Once you know, it's actually very obvious.

369
00:29:32,886 --> 00:29:34,876
Well, I mean, you still get...

370
00:29:34,956 --> 00:29:36,546
It's dangerous.

371
00:29:36,626 --> 00:29:38,816
- People still get killed doing that.
- How?

372
00:29:38,896 --> 00:29:41,626
You get some smartass who
could put a penny or a button

373
00:29:41,696 --> 00:29:45,026
or, God forbid, Sarah, somebody
could put a bullet down there.

374
00:29:45,096 --> 00:29:48,296
Don't worry. Don't worry,

375
00:29:48,366 --> 00:29:51,636
because I'm not gonna let anything happen.

376
00:29:51,706 --> 00:29:54,576
Everything's gonna be all right because...

377
00:29:55,946 --> 00:29:59,206
...I love you very much.

378
00:30:01,846 --> 00:30:05,146
- Say it again.
- I love you.

379
00:30:06,216 --> 00:30:08,686
- Not today.
- What?

380
00:30:08,756 --> 00:30:11,916
Well, some days it's not true,
and today you don't mean it.

381
00:30:11,996 --> 00:30:15,226
Maybe today you're more in
love with magic than me.

382
00:30:15,296 --> 00:30:17,926
I like being able to tell the difference.

383
00:30:17,996 --> 00:30:20,796
It makes the days it is true

384
00:30:20,866 --> 00:30:23,196
mean something.

385
00:30:24,836 --> 00:30:26,266
All right.

386
00:30:45,256 --> 00:30:48,556
Metal rings, ladies and gentlemen.

387
00:30:48,626 --> 00:30:51,286
If there are any ladies and gentlemen here.

388
00:30:51,366 --> 00:30:54,736
- Solid metal.
- Seen that already.

389
00:31:05,376 --> 00:31:06,466
Who threw that?

390
00:31:23,066 --> 00:31:24,856
This is what you came for, is it?

391
00:31:28,706 --> 00:31:30,196
So...

392
00:31:31,306 --> 00:31:33,206
...who wants to volunteer?

393
00:31:33,276 --> 00:31:35,036
- I do!
- Me!

394
00:31:42,786 --> 00:31:43,836
Me.

395
00:31:45,616 --> 00:31:47,676
Me.

396
00:32:01,096 --> 00:32:03,596
Are you man enough, sir?

397
00:32:08,576 --> 00:32:10,406
Yes.

398
00:32:21,186 --> 00:32:23,246
Which knot did you tie, Borden?

399
00:32:29,466 --> 00:32:31,726
Which knot did you tie, Borden?

400
00:32:32,896 --> 00:32:34,596
I don't know.

401
00:32:50,146 --> 00:32:53,816
He came in to demand an answer,
and I told him the truth.

402
00:32:53,886 --> 00:32:57,046
That I have fought with
myself over that night,

403
00:32:57,126 --> 00:33:00,456
one half of me swearing blind
that I tied a simple slipknot,

404
00:33:00,526 --> 00:33:03,896
the other half convinced that
I tied the Langford double.

405
00:33:03,966 --> 00:33:05,986
I can never know for sure.

406
00:33:08,936 --> 00:33:11,196
How can he not know!

407
00:33:11,266 --> 00:33:13,036
How can he not know?

408
00:33:14,676 --> 00:33:17,166
He must know what he did.

409
00:33:17,246 --> 00:33:18,646
He must.

410
00:33:21,276 --> 00:33:23,276
Sarah, that bloody hurts.

411
00:33:23,986 --> 00:33:26,616
I don't understand how it
can be bleeding again.

412
00:33:26,686 --> 00:33:29,116
It's as bad as the day it happened.

413
00:33:30,856 --> 00:33:34,796
- We have to get a doctor back.
- We can't afford the doctor back.

414
00:33:36,366 --> 00:33:39,956
- You've woken her.
- Great.

415
00:33:40,036 --> 00:33:42,936
I'm sorry, I need this to heal
so I can get back to work.

416
00:33:43,006 --> 00:33:46,766
You've got to face things. What tricks
can you perform with this injury?

417
00:33:46,836 --> 00:33:50,296
I can do car pulls. I can
do some prop tricks.

418
00:33:50,376 --> 00:33:54,746
I can still do that. I can do the
trick I've been telling you about.

419
00:33:54,816 --> 00:33:56,946
The one that they're gonna remember me for.

420
00:33:59,316 --> 00:34:00,906
Come on.

421
00:34:26,476 --> 00:34:29,676
I never thought I'd find an answer
at the bottom of a pint glass.

422
00:34:29,746 --> 00:34:31,336
Hasn't stopped your looking.

423
00:34:36,556 --> 00:34:39,426
Heard about a booking. Nice little theater.

424
00:34:39,496 --> 00:34:42,326
- Young, up-and-coming magician.
- Who?

425
00:34:42,396 --> 00:34:45,126
- You.
- Me? Booking? Why?

426
00:34:45,196 --> 00:34:47,286
I want to keep on working.

427
00:34:47,366 --> 00:34:50,596
Who's going to hire the ingénieur
that killed Julia McCullough

428
00:34:50,666 --> 00:34:52,796
in front of a sellout crowd at the Orpheum?

429
00:34:53,576 --> 00:34:55,766
Someone who knows it wasn't your fault.

430
00:34:55,846 --> 00:34:59,336
Someone who knows Alfred Borden and
his repertoire of exotic knots.

431
00:34:59,416 --> 00:35:02,936
I hear he had a spot of bad luck
catching a bullet south of the river.

432
00:35:03,016 --> 00:35:05,816
That's a dangerous trick, that one.

433
00:35:11,026 --> 00:35:12,996
We'll have to whitewash the windows,

434
00:35:13,056 --> 00:35:16,756
confound the more curious members
of the public, but it will do.

435
00:35:18,596 --> 00:35:22,226
- We should see about an assistant.
- I've made some arrangements.

436
00:35:23,136 --> 00:35:24,896
You settled on a name?

437
00:35:25,806 --> 00:35:27,466
Yes, I have.

438
00:35:27,536 --> 00:35:29,406
The Great Danton.

439
00:35:29,476 --> 00:35:31,996
It's a bit old-fashioned, isn't it?

440
00:35:33,416 --> 00:35:35,646
No, it's sophisticated.

441
00:35:35,716 --> 00:35:38,476
The birdcage can't be our climax.
Everybody knows it.

442
00:35:38,556 --> 00:35:40,956
- Not like this.
- I don't want to kill doves.

443
00:35:41,016 --> 00:35:42,886
Then stay off the stage.

444
00:35:42,956 --> 00:35:44,646
You're a magician, not a wizard.

445
00:35:44,726 --> 00:35:48,596
You got to get your hands dirty, if
you're going to achieve the impossible.

446
00:35:50,066 --> 00:35:52,426
In here, Miss Wenscombe.

447
00:35:52,496 --> 00:35:56,956
No point in meeting Mr. Angier
if you don't fit. On the right.

448
00:36:00,136 --> 00:36:02,166
- What's so hard about this?
- Nothing.

449
00:36:02,246 --> 00:36:04,766
You're going... down here.

450
00:36:10,586 --> 00:36:13,446
- And this will conceal, right?
- Oh, sure.

451
00:36:14,116 --> 00:36:15,716
- Tighten up on there.
- Yep.

452
00:36:15,786 --> 00:36:16,816
OK.

453
00:36:18,926 --> 00:36:19,986
This ties up here?

454
00:36:20,056 --> 00:36:21,456
- Ties in the back.
- Good.

455
00:36:27,536 --> 00:36:29,726
Breathe as little as possible.

456
00:36:36,246 --> 00:36:38,866
Now, you see?

457
00:36:38,946 --> 00:36:40,346
- That's it.
- OK.

458
00:36:43,786 --> 00:36:45,616
She's not experienced,

459
00:36:45,686 --> 00:36:47,706
but she knows how to present herself.

460
00:36:47,786 --> 00:36:52,386
A pretty assistant is the most
effective form of misdirection.

461
00:36:52,456 --> 00:36:55,826
Thank you. Ladies and
gentlemen, for my final trick,

462
00:36:55,896 --> 00:36:58,656
I will require the assistance
of two volunteers.

463
00:36:58,736 --> 00:37:00,996
Mr. Merrit, if you would oblige me?

464
00:37:02,906 --> 00:37:04,426
Yep.

465
00:37:06,236 --> 00:37:07,936
- Under?
- Under, yeah.

466
00:37:09,506 --> 00:37:10,806
Come around his foot.

467
00:37:10,876 --> 00:37:12,306
- Careful.
- It's all right.

468
00:37:33,166 --> 00:37:35,426
- Your volunteer, put their hand there.
- Yeah?

469
00:37:35,506 --> 00:37:37,336
And another one here.

470
00:37:37,406 --> 00:37:40,926
If you'll place your hands on
either side of the cage, please.

471
00:37:41,006 --> 00:37:42,336
Thank you, Olivia.

472
00:37:42,406 --> 00:37:46,176
You best not be intending to
hurt this animal, Mr. Angier.

473
00:37:46,246 --> 00:37:48,616
- Of course not.
- Ready? Right.

474
00:37:49,386 --> 00:37:52,176
- One...
- Two...

475
00:37:52,916 --> 00:37:54,176
Three.

476
00:37:58,186 --> 00:37:59,986
That's bloody marvelous, Cutter.

477
00:38:00,996 --> 00:38:02,186
Very nice.

478
00:38:02,266 --> 00:38:04,056
And the best part is...

479
00:38:09,436 --> 00:38:11,866
I thought you said I had
to get my hands dirty.

480
00:38:11,936 --> 00:38:13,836
Someday, perhaps you will.

481
00:38:13,906 --> 00:38:15,466
I just had to know that you can.

482
00:38:15,546 --> 00:38:17,476
Very nice. Very nice, indeed.

483
00:38:17,546 --> 00:38:21,206
I haven't had the chance to compliment
you on your beautiful theater.

484
00:38:21,276 --> 00:38:23,646
It'll be a lot more
beautiful when it's full.

485
00:38:23,716 --> 00:38:24,706
Don't worry.

486
00:38:24,786 --> 00:38:27,016
You all say that. Why should I worry?

487
00:38:27,086 --> 00:38:29,956
If your tricks don't get them
in, somebody else's will.

488
00:38:30,026 --> 00:38:34,116
Maybe somebody willing to do a
bullet catch or a water escape?

489
00:38:34,196 --> 00:38:35,756
Cheap thrills, Mr. Merrit.

490
00:38:35,826 --> 00:38:39,496
People hoping for an accident,
likely to see one too.

491
00:38:39,566 --> 00:38:41,556
What would that do for your business?

492
00:38:41,636 --> 00:38:44,496
You got a week, John.

493
00:38:44,566 --> 00:38:47,936
Thank you, Mr. Merrit.

494
00:38:55,916 --> 00:38:57,276
Thank you.

495
00:38:59,086 --> 00:39:02,716
Uh... Sir, in the third row there.

496
00:39:02,786 --> 00:39:05,486
Please stand up and show
us your handkerchief.

497
00:39:07,496 --> 00:39:09,286
This isn't mine.

498
00:39:09,366 --> 00:39:12,816
Perhaps you'd return it to the lady
in the aisle of the second row.

499
00:39:12,896 --> 00:39:15,196
I believe she has yours.

500
00:39:21,536 --> 00:39:26,206
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm making
so many mistakes. I'm so nervous.

501
00:39:26,276 --> 00:39:28,546
The audience doesn't seem to be responding.

502
00:39:28,616 --> 00:39:30,846
They've seen a lot of tricks before,

503
00:39:30,916 --> 00:39:33,406
but not this next one.

504
00:39:42,466 --> 00:39:44,226
Cloth over.

505
00:39:44,296 --> 00:39:46,056
Keep your fingers crossed.

506
00:39:46,136 --> 00:39:48,396
I'll have the champagne ready.

507
00:40:02,886 --> 00:40:06,176
- You've seen this one before?
- We've seen them all before.

508
00:40:06,256 --> 00:40:08,376
I'll make it a little harder then, shall I?

509
00:40:08,456 --> 00:40:11,426
Two volunteers, please.
A lady and a gentlemen.

510
00:40:11,486 --> 00:40:14,686
To hold this cage with me.

511
00:40:14,756 --> 00:40:16,726
I'll perform this feat in a manner

512
00:40:16,796 --> 00:40:21,326
never before seen by yourselves or any
other audience anywhere in the world.

513
00:40:23,806 --> 00:40:26,426
Madame, place one hand
on the back of the cage,

514
00:40:26,506 --> 00:40:28,026
one hand on the front.

515
00:40:28,106 --> 00:40:30,476
Sir, one hand on the bottom of the cage

516
00:40:30,546 --> 00:40:32,066
one hand on the top.

517
00:40:45,416 --> 00:40:48,316
- I should've spotted him.
- You had a lot of plates going.

518
00:40:48,386 --> 00:40:50,546
- Don't suppose we can do this again.
- No.

519
00:40:50,626 --> 00:40:53,056
- So, what's the climax of our show?
- Show?

520
00:40:53,126 --> 00:40:56,256
- You don't have a show.
- We have a week's engagement.

521
00:40:56,326 --> 00:40:59,926
To perform magic, not butcher birds
and break my customers' fingers.

522
00:40:59,996 --> 00:41:02,696
Clear out, anything here in
the morning gets burned.

523
00:41:02,766 --> 00:41:05,206
- Mr. Merrit...
- It's done, John.

524
00:41:05,276 --> 00:41:08,066
I've hired a comedian. You
know I hate comedians.

525
00:41:10,206 --> 00:41:12,696
Well, there's plenty of good theaters.

526
00:41:12,776 --> 00:41:15,616
If we can come up with a new trick,

527
00:41:15,686 --> 00:41:18,916
- change the name of the act.
- The name stays.

528
00:41:20,756 --> 00:41:25,886
Right, well, then the new trick's
gonna have to be irresistible then.

529
00:41:25,956 --> 00:41:27,986
I have a couple of methods to try out.

530
00:41:28,066 --> 00:41:31,296
And then we need a new
angle on the presentation.

531
00:41:31,366 --> 00:41:33,196
And if you need some inspiration,

532
00:41:33,266 --> 00:41:36,426
there's a technical exposition
at the Albert Hall this week.

533
00:41:36,506 --> 00:41:39,236
Engineers, scientists, you know?

534
00:41:39,306 --> 00:41:42,606
That sort of thing captures
the public's imagination.

535
00:41:59,656 --> 00:42:03,056
Mind if I join you? Tesla sends
me down here during the storms.

536
00:42:03,126 --> 00:42:06,356
Perfect excuse to come join
the Great Danton for a drink.

537
00:42:07,336 --> 00:42:09,736
Two of them.

538
00:42:09,806 --> 00:42:12,426
Beautiful, isn't it? God,
I miss New York, though.

539
00:42:12,506 --> 00:42:14,936
- Why are you here?
- The lightning lives here.

540
00:42:15,006 --> 00:42:16,636
And not much else.

541
00:42:16,706 --> 00:42:18,236
Our work is secret.

542
00:42:18,876 --> 00:42:20,776
That a cipher?

543
00:42:22,886 --> 00:42:26,006
A rotating transposition that
shifts every day of the diary.

544
00:42:26,086 --> 00:42:30,076
Simple but time-consuming to translate,
even with the five-letter keyword.

545
00:42:30,156 --> 00:42:31,886
Which is?

546
00:42:31,956 --> 00:42:33,946
We magicians have a circle of trust.

547
00:42:34,026 --> 00:42:38,126
You have a circle of trust with
someone whose diary you stole?

548
00:42:38,196 --> 00:42:39,956
Maybe I bought it.

549
00:42:40,036 --> 00:42:42,766
And you're hoping to find
a great secret in there?

550
00:42:42,836 --> 00:42:45,136
I've already found it.

551
00:42:45,206 --> 00:42:46,606
That's why I'm here.

552
00:42:52,816 --> 00:42:55,436
Tesla built one for another magician.

553
00:42:55,516 --> 00:42:57,276
Why would you want the same thing?

554
00:42:57,346 --> 00:42:59,346
Call it a professional rivalry.

555
00:42:59,416 --> 00:43:03,546
Mr. Tesla has built unusual
machines for unusual people.

556
00:43:04,556 --> 00:43:07,656
- But he would never talk about it.
- I understand discretion.

557
00:43:07,726 --> 00:43:09,026
I just want the machine.

558
00:43:12,366 --> 00:43:14,026
Finish your drink.

559
00:43:15,006 --> 00:43:17,696
I want to show you something.
I think you'll have

560
00:43:17,766 --> 00:43:19,996
a special appreciation for our work.

561
00:43:20,076 --> 00:43:23,536
- I thought it was a secret.
- You're a magician.

562
00:43:23,606 --> 00:43:25,336
Who's gonna believe you?

563
00:43:26,516 --> 00:43:28,706
Not long now.

564
00:43:28,786 --> 00:43:31,246
Our equipment requires a
great deal of current.

565
00:43:31,316 --> 00:43:33,046
Tesla electrified the whole town

566
00:43:33,116 --> 00:43:36,176
in exchange for using the
generators when we need them.

567
00:43:37,386 --> 00:43:40,586
We do our tests when the
townspeople are asleep.

568
00:43:40,656 --> 00:43:43,356
Mr. Tesla doesn't want to scare anyone.

569
00:44:01,176 --> 00:44:03,206
Where are the wires?

570
00:44:04,586 --> 00:44:05,846
Exactly.

571
00:44:15,066 --> 00:44:17,756
Where's the generator?

572
00:44:17,826 --> 00:44:19,266
You saw it last week.

573
00:44:19,336 --> 00:44:22,426
- That must be ten miles from here.
- Fifteen.

574
00:44:22,506 --> 00:44:26,596
And I have to ride all of
them before I get to bed.

575
00:44:26,676 --> 00:44:29,366
I'll send word for you in
a few days, Mr. Angier.

576
00:44:29,446 --> 00:44:33,536
Magic. Real magic.

577
00:44:33,616 --> 00:44:35,736
Now appearing, only here at
London's Royal Albert Hall,

578
00:44:37,786 --> 00:44:40,086
one of the miracles of our age.

579
00:44:40,156 --> 00:44:44,746
A technological marvel. You've never
seen anything like it in your lives.

580
00:44:44,826 --> 00:44:47,556
Your eyes will not believe
what they're witnessing.

581
00:44:47,626 --> 00:44:50,496
The miracle of Nikola Tesla,
ladies and gentlemen.

582
00:44:50,566 --> 00:44:53,056
Free, clean power. Like to know the future?

583
00:44:53,136 --> 00:44:56,196
The man who's speaking right now
is going to change the world.

584
00:44:56,266 --> 00:45:00,636
Come one, come all. Immediate
seating, no waiting.

585
00:45:15,756 --> 00:45:16,986
Ladies and gentlemen,

586
00:45:19,096 --> 00:45:20,926
objections have been raised...

587
00:45:20,996 --> 00:45:24,426
They should be raised. Does
that look safe to you?

588
00:45:24,496 --> 00:45:27,056
Part of Thomas Edison's smear campaign

589
00:45:27,136 --> 00:45:32,836
against Mr. Tesla's superior
alternating current.

590
00:45:32,906 --> 00:45:35,736
We have asked Mr. Tesla to reconsider.

591
00:45:35,806 --> 00:45:38,296
Which he will not!

592
00:45:38,376 --> 00:45:43,546
But I've been told he refuses to
appear under any such restrictions.

593
00:45:43,616 --> 00:45:46,176
This thing's gonna blow.

594
00:45:47,516 --> 00:45:49,956
Ladies and gentlemen, please.

595
00:46:28,666 --> 00:46:29,786
Hey.

596
00:46:32,036 --> 00:46:34,466
Hello, Jess.

597
00:46:36,936 --> 00:46:40,736
Have you had a nice day with mommy? Huh?

598
00:46:41,676 --> 00:46:43,696
Sarah.

599
00:46:43,776 --> 00:46:46,676
- I love you.
- See, today it's true.

600
00:46:46,746 --> 00:46:49,306
- Yeah.
- Hello.

601
00:46:51,216 --> 00:46:53,586
I saw happiness.

602
00:46:53,656 --> 00:46:56,286
Happiness that should have been mine.

603
00:46:56,356 --> 00:46:58,376
But I was wrong.

604
00:46:58,456 --> 00:47:03,086
His notebook reveals that he never
had the life that I envied.

605
00:47:03,166 --> 00:47:05,786
The family life that he craves one minute,

606
00:47:05,866 --> 00:47:10,166
he rails against the
next, demanding freedom.

607
00:47:10,236 --> 00:47:13,226
His mind... his mind is a divided one.

608
00:47:13,306 --> 00:47:14,736
His soul is restless.

609
00:47:14,806 --> 00:47:16,936
His wife and child, tormented

610
00:47:17,006 --> 00:47:20,966
by his fickle and contradictory nature.

611
00:47:25,186 --> 00:47:27,676
So, what do you think you'll call her?

612
00:47:27,756 --> 00:47:29,116
I don't know.

613
00:47:29,186 --> 00:47:31,486
Everybody needs a name, so, what's hers?

614
00:47:32,396 --> 00:47:34,186
Maybe Sarah.

615
00:47:36,566 --> 00:47:38,966
That's a lovely name. That's a lovely name.

616
00:47:39,036 --> 00:47:42,266
Well, you talk about what you want
to do for the rest of the day.

617
00:47:42,336 --> 00:47:44,196
All right, go on, you talk with her.

618
00:47:46,636 --> 00:47:50,906
Are they taking her away?

619
00:47:50,976 --> 00:47:52,876
To the workhouse?

620
00:47:55,716 --> 00:47:57,206
You keep talking.

621
00:47:59,916 --> 00:48:02,316
Tell Owens I've reconsidered. Take it.

622
00:48:02,386 --> 00:48:04,186
Go on, take it.

623
00:48:07,756 --> 00:48:09,886
It's for the best.

624
00:48:14,696 --> 00:48:17,296
Let me see.

625
00:48:17,366 --> 00:48:19,996
I'm gonna learn all the
professor's secrets.

626
00:48:20,076 --> 00:48:23,506
Only if I teach you how to read.

627
00:48:23,576 --> 00:48:25,946
They're just stupid tricks, right?

628
00:48:26,016 --> 00:48:29,246
Haven't helped you get
out of here, have they?

629
00:48:29,316 --> 00:48:32,646
Or can't you undo real locks, professor?

630
00:48:34,016 --> 00:48:36,686
Maybe I'm just biding my time.

631
00:48:36,756 --> 00:48:39,246
Maybe one day I'll...

632
00:48:39,326 --> 00:48:41,956
...open my hand, get your attention,

633
00:48:42,026 --> 00:48:44,926
ask, "Are you watching closely?"

634
00:48:44,996 --> 00:48:47,086
Maybe a magic whirl or two.

635
00:48:49,706 --> 00:48:51,536
And then I'll be gone.

636
00:48:55,146 --> 00:48:58,206
How'd you get so famous then?

637
00:48:59,116 --> 00:49:00,836
Magic.

638
00:49:03,316 --> 00:49:06,186
Oi! Borden, get back here!

639
00:49:06,256 --> 00:49:07,806
Thank you.

640
00:49:07,886 --> 00:49:09,856
Shut up!

641
00:49:13,156 --> 00:49:15,256
Where's the bloody key?!

642
00:49:21,866 --> 00:49:24,336
February 8,1899.

643
00:49:24,406 --> 00:49:26,526
Today, finally, a breakthrough.

644
00:49:26,606 --> 00:49:29,336
Tesla's agreed to see me.

645
00:49:37,086 --> 00:49:38,246
Perfectly safe.

646
00:49:59,776 --> 00:50:03,536
So this is the Great Danton.

647
00:50:03,606 --> 00:50:08,206
Mr. Alley has effused about your act
to me on any number of occasions.

648
00:50:10,046 --> 00:50:11,606
Hold out other hand.

649
00:50:20,196 --> 00:50:23,996
- What's conducting the electricity?
- Our bodies, Mr. Angier.

650
00:50:24,066 --> 00:50:28,266
Quite capable of conducting
and, indeed, producing energy.

651
00:50:29,806 --> 00:50:31,866
Have you eaten, Mr. Angier?

652
00:50:33,776 --> 00:50:36,936
I need something impossible.

653
00:50:38,716 --> 00:50:43,476
You're familiar with the phrase,
"Man's reach exceeds his grasp"?

654
00:50:43,546 --> 00:50:45,246
Is a lie.

655
00:50:45,316 --> 00:50:47,346
Man's grasp exceeds his nerve.

656
00:50:48,556 --> 00:50:51,426
Society only tolerates
one change at a time.

657
00:50:52,896 --> 00:50:56,156
First time I tried to change the world,

658
00:50:56,226 --> 00:50:57,996
I was hailed as a visionary.

659
00:50:58,496 --> 00:51:00,626
Second time...

660
00:51:00,696 --> 00:51:03,726
...I was asked politely to retire.

661
00:51:04,866 --> 00:51:08,396
So here I am, enjoying my retirement.

662
00:51:08,476 --> 00:51:12,346
Nothing is impossible, Mr. Angier.
What you want is simply expensive.

663
00:51:12,416 --> 00:51:14,646
If I were to build for you this machine,

664
00:51:14,716 --> 00:51:17,776
you would be presenting
it merely as illusion?

665
00:51:17,846 --> 00:51:21,186
Well, if people actually believed
the things I did on stage,

666
00:51:21,256 --> 00:51:23,656
they wouldn't clap, they'd scream.

667
00:51:23,726 --> 00:51:25,716
Think of sawing a woman in half.

668
00:51:25,796 --> 00:51:28,126
Have you considered the cost of this?

669
00:51:28,196 --> 00:51:30,126
Price is not an object.

670
00:51:30,196 --> 00:51:34,156
Perhaps not, but have you
considered the cost?

671
00:51:35,136 --> 00:51:36,466
I'm not sure I follow.

672
00:51:37,536 --> 00:51:39,366
Go home, forget this thing.

673
00:51:39,436 --> 00:51:41,636
I can recognize an obsession.

674
00:51:41,706 --> 00:51:45,736
- No good will come of it.
- Hasn't good come of your obsessions?

675
00:51:45,816 --> 00:51:49,046
At first, but I have
followed them too long.

676
00:51:49,116 --> 00:51:51,046
I am their slave.

677
00:51:51,116 --> 00:51:54,206
And one day, they will
choose to destroy me.

678
00:51:56,026 --> 00:52:00,456
If you understand an obsession, then
you know you won't change my mind.

679
00:52:01,396 --> 00:52:02,386
So be it.

680
00:52:03,896 --> 00:52:05,226
Will you build it?

681
00:52:06,196 --> 00:52:09,756
I've already begun to build it, Mr. Angier.

682
00:52:09,836 --> 00:52:13,826
I hope you enjoy the mountain air.
This will take some time.

683
00:52:37,766 --> 00:52:40,456
Uh... I thought you'd gone.

684
00:52:41,596 --> 00:52:44,066
I don't really have anywhere to go.

685
00:52:46,036 --> 00:52:47,936
You've been sleeping here?

686
00:52:48,006 --> 00:52:52,736
Cutter said it'd be all right till we get
another booking. What are you doing?

687
00:52:52,816 --> 00:52:55,046
Uh... research.

688
00:52:55,116 --> 00:52:56,546
Part of a magician's job

689
00:52:56,616 --> 00:52:59,486
is to... watch his competition,
see what illusions...

690
00:52:59,556 --> 00:53:02,486
You're going to do something
to that man, aren't you?

691
00:53:02,556 --> 00:53:04,416
Cutter's hoping you let things lie.

692
00:53:04,486 --> 00:53:07,356
He says if Borden thinks
things are even between you...

693
00:53:07,426 --> 00:53:09,256
Even?

694
00:53:09,326 --> 00:53:11,886
My wife for a couple of his fingers?

695
00:53:11,966 --> 00:53:15,056
He has a family now and
he's performing again.

696
00:53:15,136 --> 00:53:17,966
Borden is out there living his
life just as he intended,

697
00:53:18,036 --> 00:53:20,736
as if nothing had happened and look at me.

698
00:53:20,806 --> 00:53:23,296
I'm alone and no theater will touch me.

699
00:53:23,376 --> 00:53:24,966
Us.

700
00:53:25,046 --> 00:53:27,406
You're going to need a better disguise.

701
00:53:44,926 --> 00:53:47,126
I need a volunteer.

702
00:53:47,196 --> 00:53:48,666
What happened?

703
00:53:49,666 --> 00:53:51,496
Did you hurt him?

704
00:53:53,406 --> 00:53:54,706
What happened, Robert?

705
00:53:57,106 --> 00:54:01,066
You, sir. Just a rubber ball, yes?

706
00:54:01,146 --> 00:54:02,236
Thank you.

707
00:54:02,316 --> 00:54:04,906
Just a rubber ball? No.

708
00:54:04,986 --> 00:54:08,176
Not normal. Not a normal rubber ball.

709
00:54:08,256 --> 00:54:09,376
It's magic.

710
00:54:10,186 --> 00:54:12,246
He had a new trick.

711
00:54:26,276 --> 00:54:27,826
Was it good?

712
00:54:31,316 --> 00:54:36,166
It was the greatest magic
trick I've ever seen.

713
00:54:40,086 --> 00:54:41,316
Did they applaud when you saw it?

714
00:54:42,286 --> 00:54:46,156
It was too good. It was too simple. The
audience hardly had time to see it.

715
00:54:46,226 --> 00:54:49,096
- He's a dreadful magician.
- A wonderful magician.

716
00:54:49,166 --> 00:54:51,686
He's a dreadful showman.
He doesn't dress it up,

717
00:54:51,766 --> 00:54:53,596
- how to sell it.
- How does he do it?

718
00:54:53,666 --> 00:54:55,686
- He uses a double.
- No, it's too simple.

719
00:54:55,766 --> 00:54:57,256
This is a complex illusion.

720
00:54:57,336 --> 00:54:59,736
You say that because you
don't know the method.

721
00:54:59,806 --> 00:55:02,206
It's a double that comes out.
It's the only way.

722
00:55:02,276 --> 00:55:06,176
I've seen him perform it three times.
The prestige is the same man.

723
00:55:06,246 --> 00:55:09,776
- No, it's not.
- The same man comes out of the cabinet.

724
00:55:09,846 --> 00:55:12,116
It's the same man.

725
00:55:12,186 --> 00:55:14,876
He wears padded gloves to
hide his damaged fingers,

726
00:55:14,956 --> 00:55:17,546
but, if you look closely, you can tell.

727
00:55:19,256 --> 00:55:22,126
He doesn't know how to sell
it to an audience, but I do.

728
00:55:22,196 --> 00:55:24,626
Yeah, we could use it as
a climax to the show.

729
00:55:24,696 --> 00:55:27,096
Yes.

730
00:55:27,166 --> 00:55:30,366
The man stole my life, I'm
gonna steal his trick.

731
00:55:30,436 --> 00:55:32,596
We got to find someone who looks like you.

732
00:55:32,676 --> 00:55:36,196
- He doesn't use a double.
- I don't know how Borden does it.

733
00:55:36,276 --> 00:55:40,766
Either... You either wait for him
to retire and buy the secret,

734
00:55:40,846 --> 00:55:42,646
or you listen to how I would do it.

735
00:55:42,716 --> 00:55:45,236
And the only way that I know how to do it

736
00:55:45,316 --> 00:55:47,786
is to find you a bloody good double.

737
00:55:48,786 --> 00:55:50,186
All right.

738
00:55:51,626 --> 00:55:54,116
Take a good look. Let's get
out there and find me.

739
00:55:56,396 --> 00:55:57,886
Look, look.

740
00:56:02,436 --> 00:56:03,956
What's that?

741
00:56:07,306 --> 00:56:09,606
- It's for you.
- What's this for?

742
00:56:10,246 --> 00:56:12,076
Come.

743
00:56:14,316 --> 00:56:16,976
You...

744
00:56:17,046 --> 00:56:21,076
- I asked you last week...
- You caught me in a wrong mood.

745
00:56:21,156 --> 00:56:23,346
- But you won't ever...
- Sarah,

746
00:56:23,426 --> 00:56:26,586
I'm gonna have to change my mind, aren't I?

747
00:56:26,656 --> 00:56:31,326
The act is taking off. Soon we'll be in
a bigger theater, things will work out.

748
00:56:33,896 --> 00:56:37,696
I can't believe it. Thank you.
Thank you. It's beautiful.

749
00:56:44,346 --> 00:56:47,436
- Gerry?
- Darling, look at you.

750
00:56:47,516 --> 00:56:50,486
Mr. Cutter, Mr. Angier, I'd
like you to meet Gerald Root.

751
00:56:55,556 --> 00:56:59,486
A pleasure. Pleasure to
meet you fine gentlemen.

752
00:56:59,556 --> 00:57:03,286
Would you like for me to tell
you a little joke? Come here.

753
00:57:06,336 --> 00:57:09,426
Yes. Are you laughing now?

754
00:57:12,876 --> 00:57:14,496
I have to take a piss.

755
00:57:15,906 --> 00:57:19,006
- He's out of his mind.
- Of course, he's an out-of-work actor.

756
00:57:19,076 --> 00:57:20,976
He's perfect. He needs a little help.

757
00:57:21,046 --> 00:57:24,016
But when I get done with him,
he could be your brother.

758
00:57:24,086 --> 00:57:26,676
I don't need him to be my
brother, I need him to be me.

759
00:57:26,756 --> 00:57:28,446
Give me a month.

760
00:57:35,226 --> 00:57:37,856
So you open the door...

761
00:57:37,926 --> 00:57:39,396
...and...

762
00:57:46,776 --> 00:57:48,536
Come on.

763
00:57:52,246 --> 00:57:54,176
Couldn't you have found a softer one?

764
00:57:54,246 --> 00:57:56,576
Well, it's not for sleeping on.

765
00:57:56,646 --> 00:57:58,706
So, if you come down through there...

766
00:58:01,386 --> 00:58:04,416
- ...does Root go up through there?
- Yep.

767
00:58:04,486 --> 00:58:06,546
It's going to be amazing.

768
00:58:06,626 --> 00:58:10,086
Well, it has to be. Borden's
trick is getting noticed.

769
00:58:12,936 --> 00:58:15,296
The place was packed today.

770
00:58:16,906 --> 00:58:18,696
You went and saw his show again.

771
00:58:18,766 --> 00:58:21,206
Ready to meet yourself, Mr. Angier?

772
00:58:29,586 --> 00:58:31,916
All I have to do is keep
myself stinking drunk,

773
00:58:31,986 --> 00:58:34,316
and no one will be able
to tell the difference.

774
00:58:34,386 --> 00:58:36,476
Have a little faith, sir.

775
00:58:36,556 --> 00:58:40,456
Now, would you favor us with
a performance, Mr. Root?

776
00:59:00,316 --> 00:59:05,376
You'd drink, too, if you knew
the world half as well as I do.

777
00:59:09,086 --> 00:59:10,786
Did you think you were unique?

778
00:59:10,856 --> 00:59:13,556
I've been Caesar, I've played Faust.

779
00:59:13,626 --> 00:59:16,716
How difficult could it possibly
be to play the Great Danton?

780
00:59:16,796 --> 00:59:19,926
You can go back to being
yourself now, Root, for nothing.

781
00:59:19,996 --> 00:59:22,266
I'd rather be him for now.

782
00:59:22,336 --> 00:59:25,096
I find it, uh... amusing.

783
00:59:28,536 --> 00:59:30,266
"My liege,

784
00:59:30,346 --> 00:59:33,676
I did deny no prisoners."

785
00:59:33,746 --> 00:59:35,906
- You look wonderful.
- Oh, thank you.

786
00:59:35,986 --> 00:59:39,246
Root has to keep a low profile.
Anyone sees him, the game's up.

787
00:59:39,316 --> 00:59:42,116
I don't know how you do things.
I'm not sure I wanna know.

788
00:59:42,186 --> 00:59:44,516
Have you thought what we should call it?

789
00:59:44,586 --> 00:59:48,756
There's no point being coy. Borden
calls his trick The Transported Man.

790
00:59:52,666 --> 00:59:55,826
Ladies and gentlemen, much of
what you've seen may be termed

791
00:59:55,906 --> 00:59:59,666
as illusions or entertaining trifles.

792
01:00:04,346 --> 01:00:05,396
Alas...

793
01:00:07,576 --> 01:00:10,106
...I cannot claim this
next feat as illusion.

794
01:00:11,016 --> 01:00:12,206
Watch carefully.

795
01:00:13,656 --> 01:00:16,086
You will see no trickery,

796
01:00:16,156 --> 01:00:19,246
for no trickery is employed.

797
01:00:19,326 --> 01:00:22,696
Merely a technique familiar to
certain citizens of the Orient

798
01:00:22,766 --> 01:00:24,926
and various holy men of the Himalayas.

799
01:00:28,196 --> 01:00:31,226
Indeed, many of you may be
familiar with this technique,

800
01:00:31,306 --> 01:00:34,466
but for those of you who are
not, do not be alarmed.

801
01:00:34,536 --> 01:00:37,596
What you're about to see
is considered safe.

802
01:01:09,176 --> 01:01:12,236
To our achievement.

803
01:01:12,306 --> 01:01:15,076
The manager says he's never
seen a reaction like it.

804
01:01:15,146 --> 01:01:18,446
At least he saw it. I spent the
ovation hiding under the stage.

805
01:01:18,516 --> 01:01:20,846
No one cares about the man who disappears.

806
01:01:20,916 --> 01:01:22,906
They care about the one who comes out.

807
01:01:22,986 --> 01:01:25,046
I care about the man in the box.

808
01:01:25,126 --> 01:01:29,426
Thank you. I don't know, maybe we
could switch before the trick.

809
01:01:29,496 --> 01:01:31,656
I'm the prestige, and Root's below stage.

810
01:01:31,726 --> 01:01:34,666
No, the anticipation of
the trick is everything.

811
01:01:34,736 --> 01:01:37,796
We need your showmanship
to build up the suspense.

812
01:01:37,866 --> 01:01:41,426
Once Root opens his mouth, it's over.
He can't introduce this trick.

813
01:01:41,506 --> 01:01:44,236
Of course I can. I'm the Great Danton.

814
01:01:44,306 --> 01:01:47,906
Root, you bloody fool, get out
of that wardrobe and makeup.

815
01:01:47,976 --> 01:01:50,646
Anyone could walk in here at any minute.

816
01:01:50,716 --> 01:01:52,776
Congratulations, all.

817
01:01:52,856 --> 01:01:56,546
Life is not full of these moments.
We worked hard.

818
01:01:56,626 --> 01:01:58,286
We need to celebrate properly.

819
01:02:02,026 --> 01:02:04,496
What's wrong? Is it your wife?

820
01:02:04,566 --> 01:02:06,866
No, it's the trick. It isn't good enough.

821
01:02:06,936 --> 01:02:10,266
Borden's trick is nothing compared to ours.
He has no style.

822
01:02:10,336 --> 01:02:14,206
He doesn't spend the finale
hiding under the stage.

823
01:02:14,276 --> 01:02:17,176
- I need to know how he does it.
- Why?

824
01:02:17,246 --> 01:02:19,736
So I can do it better.

825
01:02:21,816 --> 01:02:24,286
I need you to go and work for him.

826
01:02:27,316 --> 01:02:29,046
Work for him? Are you joking?

827
01:02:30,326 --> 01:02:31,516
You'll be my spy.

828
01:02:31,586 --> 01:02:33,786
We just got our start.
You want me to leave?

829
01:02:33,856 --> 01:02:35,956
That's how we advance. Think of it.

830
01:02:36,026 --> 01:02:39,226
People are excited by Cutter's version.
Imagine what we'd do

831
01:02:39,296 --> 01:02:43,736
with the real illusion. We'd have the
greatest magic act anyone's ever seen.

832
01:02:43,806 --> 01:02:47,566
- He knows I work for you.
- Exactly why he'll want to hire you.

833
01:02:47,636 --> 01:02:50,196
- He'll want my secret.
- Why would he trust me?

834
01:02:50,276 --> 01:02:52,976
Because you're gonna tell him the truth.

835
01:03:05,256 --> 01:03:06,386
Good girl.

836
01:03:09,566 --> 01:03:13,086
You must be curious to see what
so much money has bought you.

837
01:03:13,766 --> 01:03:16,666
Fitting you should be here
for her maiden voyage.

838
01:03:16,736 --> 01:03:18,566
Your hat.

839
01:03:26,516 --> 01:03:29,106
You might want to stand back.

840
01:03:49,566 --> 01:03:50,696
I don't understand.

841
01:03:50,766 --> 01:03:53,106
Perhaps it would be best
if you left us to it.

842
01:03:53,176 --> 01:03:54,796
Is there a problem, Mr. Tesla?

843
01:03:54,876 --> 01:03:56,896
- No. Come back next week.
- Next week?

844
01:03:56,976 --> 01:03:59,536
- Next week, it will be fine.
- Tesla!

845
01:03:59,616 --> 01:04:01,336
Just a little temperamental.

846
01:04:07,186 --> 01:04:10,086
- Interesting workshop.
- Yeah, we make do.

847
01:04:10,156 --> 01:04:12,316
- My name is Olivia...
- I know who you are.

848
01:04:12,386 --> 01:04:14,056
Here to steal the rest of my show?

849
01:04:14,126 --> 01:04:16,026
To give your show what it's missing.

850
01:04:16,096 --> 01:04:19,326
- Yeah, what might that be?
- Me.

851
01:04:19,396 --> 01:04:23,856
I was just saying that, wasn't I?

852
01:04:23,936 --> 01:04:26,236
- A woman's touch.
- I've left Angier.

853
01:04:26,306 --> 01:04:28,366
- All right.
- I want a job.

854
01:04:28,436 --> 01:04:29,776
Yeah.

855
01:04:29,846 --> 01:04:31,676
I know you've no reason to trust me.

856
01:04:31,746 --> 01:04:33,306
Why wouldn't I trust you?

857
01:04:33,376 --> 01:04:36,816
You're only the mistress of my enemy.
Why wouldn't I trust you?

858
01:04:38,486 --> 01:04:40,416
- Mr. Borden.
- Alfred.

859
01:04:42,856 --> 01:04:44,516
I'm going to tell you the truth.

860
01:04:44,586 --> 01:04:46,816
Now that is a slippery notion

861
01:04:46,896 --> 01:04:49,226
in our line of work, isn't
it, Miss Wenscombe?

862
01:04:51,326 --> 01:04:53,996
I am here because he sent me here.

863
01:04:54,066 --> 01:04:56,536
He wants me to work for you
and steal your secret.

864
01:04:56,606 --> 01:04:59,966
What does he need my secret for?
His trick is topnotch.

865
01:05:00,036 --> 01:05:02,636
He vanishes, and then
he reappears instantly

866
01:05:02,706 --> 01:05:05,196
on the other side of the
stage, mute, overweight

867
01:05:05,276 --> 01:05:07,836
and, unless I'm mistaken, very drunk.

868
01:05:07,916 --> 01:05:11,406
It's astonishing. How does he do it?
And tell me, Olivia,

869
01:05:11,486 --> 01:05:14,946
does he enjoy taking his
bows under the stage?

870
01:05:15,016 --> 01:05:18,316
It's killing him. He's obsessed
with discovering your methods.

871
01:05:18,386 --> 01:05:21,446
He thinks of nothing else, takes
no pleasure in our success.

872
01:05:21,526 --> 01:05:23,016
And I've had enough.

873
01:05:23,096 --> 01:05:25,496
There is no future with him.

874
01:05:26,636 --> 01:05:30,366
He sent me here to steal your secrets,
but I've come to offer you his.

875
01:05:30,436 --> 01:05:34,336
This is the truth... is it?

876
01:05:38,876 --> 01:05:41,176
Think you'd better get dressed, sir.

877
01:05:41,246 --> 01:05:45,276
Root, you're late and more drunk than
usual. Get down below stairs right away.

878
01:05:45,346 --> 01:05:47,076
No.

879
01:05:47,156 --> 01:05:50,516
No, we need to have a little chat, Mr.
Cutter.

880
01:05:50,586 --> 01:05:54,926
We have a problem. Cutter, Borden is
performing right across the street.

881
01:05:54,996 --> 01:05:58,256
Yeah, we have a bigger problem.

882
01:05:58,326 --> 01:06:01,326
Root. He's realized that
he can make demands.

883
01:06:01,396 --> 01:06:03,496
Wha...? He's blackmailing us?

884
01:06:03,566 --> 01:06:05,536
I was surprised, to tell you the truth.

885
01:06:05,606 --> 01:06:08,196
It usually takes them a lot
longer to figure it out.

886
01:06:08,276 --> 01:06:10,836
- How much does he want?
- It makes no difference.

887
01:06:10,906 --> 01:06:14,366
- We've got to stop doing the trick.
- Stop the trick? Look at this.

888
01:06:14,446 --> 01:06:20,286
Last week they said you were the
premier stage performer in London.

889
01:06:20,356 --> 01:06:23,716
Not magician, mind you.
Performer of any kind.

890
01:06:23,786 --> 01:06:27,016
- What's your point?
- My point is, you've climbed too high

891
01:06:27,096 --> 01:06:29,526
to get away with
professional embarrassment.

892
01:06:29,596 --> 01:06:32,966
We don't do any tricks we can't control.

893
01:06:35,136 --> 01:06:38,436
Just pay him for now. We keep doing
the trick until Borden opens,

894
01:06:38,506 --> 01:06:40,476
and then we'll phase it out.

895
01:06:41,376 --> 01:06:42,866
All right.

896
01:06:45,646 --> 01:06:47,766
Cutter was always surprised

897
01:06:47,846 --> 01:06:49,746
how fast Root turned bad.

898
01:06:49,816 --> 01:06:54,376
To what do I owe the pleasure of
this rather welcome pint of ale?

899
01:06:54,456 --> 01:06:57,576
- You're the Great Danton, aren't you?
- Sh, sh, sh, sh, sh.

900
01:06:57,656 --> 01:07:01,316
Of course I am, but don't advertise
it, because I'll be mobbed with fans.

901
01:07:01,396 --> 01:07:03,826
We paid him enough to keep him in beers.

902
01:07:03,896 --> 01:07:05,986
You wouldn't expect him to rock the boat.

903
01:07:06,066 --> 01:07:08,656
Many of you may be familiar
with this technique,

904
01:07:08,736 --> 01:07:12,226
but for those of you who
aren't, do not be alarmed.

905
01:07:12,306 --> 01:07:15,466
What you're about to see
is considered safe.

906
01:07:15,536 --> 01:07:19,166
- And who are you?
- I am a humble admirer

907
01:07:19,246 --> 01:07:21,836
and a fellow practitioner.

908
01:07:21,916 --> 01:07:24,276
Very good.

909
01:07:33,656 --> 01:07:36,496
- Another one?
- Oh, if you insist.

910
01:07:36,566 --> 01:07:39,296
- Another.
- I'm not performing tonight.

911
01:07:39,366 --> 01:07:41,386
I'm only doing one show, but to be frank,

912
01:07:41,466 --> 01:07:43,796
my people pretty much
run things these days.

913
01:07:43,866 --> 01:07:45,066
Get up there.

914
01:07:46,436 --> 01:07:47,496
Get up!

915
01:07:47,576 --> 01:07:50,336
Your illusion, The Transported Man,

916
01:07:50,406 --> 01:07:53,006
I'm not claiming to know your methods,

917
01:07:53,076 --> 01:07:57,276
but I had a similar trick in my act,

918
01:07:57,346 --> 01:08:00,186
and, uh... I used a double.

919
01:08:00,256 --> 01:08:05,446
- Mm, I see, very good.
- Well, it was, and then it went bad.

920
01:08:05,526 --> 01:08:08,926
What I didn't count on was that
when I incorporated this bloke

921
01:08:08,996 --> 01:08:11,086
into my act,

922
01:08:11,166 --> 01:08:13,156
he had complete power over me.

923
01:08:14,296 --> 01:08:15,926
Complete power, you say?

924
01:08:33,416 --> 01:08:38,686
Be very careful giving
someone that power over you.

925
01:08:38,756 --> 01:08:43,086
Huh. Thank you. Um...

926
01:08:43,166 --> 01:08:46,026
Yes, thank you for the warning.

927
01:08:46,096 --> 01:08:48,796
Hmm. Cheers.

928
01:08:50,236 --> 01:08:52,366
I cannot claim this next feat as illusion.

929
01:08:52,436 --> 01:08:55,806
What you're about to see
is considered safe.

930
01:09:34,046 --> 01:09:39,006
Oh! The Great Danton.

931
01:09:45,226 --> 01:09:47,086
I apologize.

932
01:09:47,156 --> 01:09:50,926
There simply is too much magic...

933
01:09:50,996 --> 01:09:53,756
...for my stage at The Pantages

934
01:09:53,836 --> 01:09:55,996
across the street.

935
01:10:00,036 --> 01:10:02,976
Pardon my intrusion.

936
01:10:05,046 --> 01:10:09,446
And go easy on the poor chap.
He does try so very hard.

937
01:10:12,316 --> 01:10:14,756
I don't know how Borden found him.

938
01:10:14,816 --> 01:10:16,716
Kept him under wraps. I was careful.

939
01:10:16,786 --> 01:10:18,446
Yeah, well, he did.

940
01:10:19,626 --> 01:10:21,616
Do you think it was her?

941
01:10:27,866 --> 01:10:30,836
You weren't expecting me?

942
01:10:30,906 --> 01:10:33,636
I expected you sooner. Your
message said afternoon.

943
01:10:33,706 --> 01:10:35,966
It takes a bit for me to
get around these days.

944
01:10:36,036 --> 01:10:40,106
He's taken everything from me.
My wife, my career,

945
01:10:40,176 --> 01:10:42,046
- now you.
- You sent me.

946
01:10:42,116 --> 01:10:45,176
I sent you to steal his secret,
not to improve his act.

947
01:10:45,246 --> 01:10:46,806
- It's my job.
- Or fall in love!

948
01:10:46,886 --> 01:10:49,646
- I did everything you asked!
- Yes? Yes?

949
01:10:49,726 --> 01:10:51,316
- How does he do it?
- Cutter was right, a double.

950
01:10:52,286 --> 01:10:54,516
- 'Course he said that.
- He didn't say it.

951
01:10:54,596 --> 01:10:58,026
I've seen things, makeup, glasses, wigs.
We don't use for the show.

952
01:10:58,096 --> 01:11:00,826
- I've seen it hidden backstage.
- Misdirection.

953
01:11:00,896 --> 01:11:03,596
He leaves them lying around
to make you think that.

954
01:11:03,666 --> 01:11:05,536
He doesn't know when I'm looking.

955
01:11:05,606 --> 01:11:08,836
All the time, Olivia! That's who he is!

956
01:11:08,906 --> 01:11:10,166
That's what it takes!

957
01:11:10,246 --> 01:11:12,676
He lives his act, don't you see?

958
01:11:14,716 --> 01:11:18,076
Just because you're sleeping with
him doesn't mean he trusts you.

959
01:11:18,146 --> 01:11:20,546
You think you can see
everything, don't you?

960
01:11:20,616 --> 01:11:23,456
The Great Danton is a blind fool.

961
01:11:23,526 --> 01:11:24,916
His notebook.

962
01:11:26,286 --> 01:11:28,556
You stole it?

963
01:11:28,626 --> 01:11:30,426
I borrowed it for tonight.

964
01:11:30,496 --> 01:11:32,686
I thought you could translate some of it...

965
01:11:32,766 --> 01:11:36,826
I can't. No one can. It's a cipher.

966
01:11:36,906 --> 01:11:40,336
Even with the keyword, it
will take months to decode.

967
01:11:40,406 --> 01:11:43,306
- And without the keyword?
- Perhaps never.

968
01:11:43,376 --> 01:11:45,006
- We'll see.
- We will not see.

969
01:11:45,076 --> 01:11:48,016
If I don't get that back by
tomorrow he'll know I took it.

970
01:11:48,076 --> 01:11:50,376
- Leave him.
- I can't. He knows where I live.

971
01:11:51,716 --> 01:11:56,516
This is his diary, Olivia. All of his
secrets are right here in my hands.

972
01:11:57,186 --> 01:11:58,776
It won't bring your wife back.

973
01:11:58,856 --> 01:12:01,556
I don't care about my wife.
I care about his secret.

974
01:12:14,806 --> 01:12:17,536
Look, I'll, um...

975
01:12:17,606 --> 01:12:19,936
I'll go to his workshop
and stage a break-in.

976
01:12:20,016 --> 01:12:23,206
- He'll know you took it.
- Yes, me. Not you.

977
01:12:24,316 --> 01:12:26,306
Understand?

978
01:12:34,756 --> 01:12:35,746
Robert.

979
01:12:38,166 --> 01:12:40,956
I have fallen in love with him.

980
01:12:41,866 --> 01:12:44,336
Then I know how hard this has been for you.

981
01:12:52,876 --> 01:12:54,366
Notebook?

982
01:12:57,016 --> 01:12:59,006
Then he's just getting started.

983
01:13:28,246 --> 01:13:29,716
Professor!

984
01:13:29,776 --> 01:13:31,266
Good evening.

985
01:13:36,156 --> 01:13:37,776
I'm walking tonight.

986
01:13:37,856 --> 01:13:40,416
Let him come. I don't care.

987
01:13:40,496 --> 01:13:43,186
Professor! Professor!

988
01:15:07,076 --> 01:15:09,636
- You all right?
- I'm alive.

989
01:15:09,716 --> 01:15:11,806
Saves me cutting you an air hole.

990
01:15:25,896 --> 01:15:28,456
- I'm impressed.
- Why is that?

991
01:15:28,536 --> 01:15:31,506
You're finally getting your hands dirty.

992
01:15:31,566 --> 01:15:34,466
It's what a good trick costs, Angier.

993
01:15:34,536 --> 01:15:37,336
Risk, sacrifice.

994
01:15:37,406 --> 01:15:39,896
The sacrifice, I'm afraid,
is all gonna be yours,

995
01:15:39,976 --> 01:15:41,606
unless you give me what I want.

996
01:15:42,976 --> 01:15:45,106
- Which is?
- Your secret.

997
01:15:45,186 --> 01:15:46,586
My secret?

998
01:15:46,656 --> 01:15:49,776
Your method for The Transported Man.

999
01:15:49,856 --> 01:15:52,686
Fallon wouldn't tell me.
He doesn't talk at all.

1000
01:15:52,756 --> 01:15:56,246
- You have my notebook.
- Useless without the keyword.

1001
01:15:57,726 --> 01:16:01,286
Write down your method, Mr.
Borden, describe it in full.

1002
01:16:14,416 --> 01:16:16,776
I want the whole method, not the keyword.

1003
01:16:16,846 --> 01:16:19,246
I don't know if your
secret's in your notebook.

1004
01:16:19,316 --> 01:16:21,786
The keyword is the method.

1005
01:16:25,786 --> 01:16:27,086
Where's my ingénieur?

1006
01:16:34,236 --> 01:16:36,856
- Alive?
- How fast can you dig?

1007
01:16:39,336 --> 01:16:42,366
Fallon, you hear me? Fallon!

1008
01:16:43,676 --> 01:16:46,336
- How's the arm?
- Still attached.

1009
01:16:47,776 --> 01:16:49,336
Did you find your answer?

1010
01:16:49,416 --> 01:16:53,176
Our answer, Cutter. I haven't looked yet.
I wanted you to share this.

1011
01:16:53,246 --> 01:16:55,686
I already know how he does it, Robert.

1012
01:16:55,756 --> 01:16:58,846
Same way he always has,
the same way as we do.

1013
01:16:58,926 --> 01:17:01,396
It's just that you want something more.

1014
01:17:01,456 --> 01:17:04,226
Well, let's find out then, shall we?

1015
01:17:08,536 --> 01:17:09,966
What does it mean?

1016
01:17:17,806 --> 01:17:20,276
It means, Cutter, we have
a journey ahead of us.

1017
01:17:20,346 --> 01:17:22,316
- To America.
- Robert?

1018
01:17:23,276 --> 01:17:26,246
Listen to me.

1019
01:17:26,316 --> 01:17:29,776
Obsession is a young man's game.

1020
01:17:29,856 --> 01:17:31,376
Come on.

1021
01:17:31,456 --> 01:17:33,926
I can't follow you any further in it.

1022
01:17:34,996 --> 01:17:36,926
I can't, I'm sorry.

1023
01:17:41,036 --> 01:17:42,726
Then the rest is up to me.

1024
01:17:44,806 --> 01:17:46,326
I'm sorry.

1025
01:17:51,646 --> 01:17:55,236
Good evening. Hello, darling.

1026
01:17:55,316 --> 01:17:56,806
Champagne, your finest.

1027
01:17:56,886 --> 01:17:59,576
I didn't know we were going
to be joined for dinner.

1028
01:17:59,646 --> 01:18:01,946
Absolutely, we are celebrating.

1029
01:18:02,016 --> 01:18:03,716
Miss Wenscombe, Mr. Fallon.

1030
01:18:04,726 --> 01:18:07,586
- What are we celebrating?
- We've hit upon a new trick.

1031
01:18:07,656 --> 01:18:09,716
- Haven't we?
- What trick, Freddie?

1032
01:18:09,796 --> 01:18:11,816
Yes, Freddie, what trick?

1033
01:18:11,896 --> 01:18:16,296
I am going to bury myself
alive every night,

1034
01:18:16,366 --> 01:18:20,236
and then someone will come along
and dig me up. Wonderful.

1035
01:18:20,306 --> 01:18:23,396
- I think he's had quite enough...
- No, pour the champagne.

1036
01:18:23,476 --> 01:18:27,176
Pour the... Sarah, don't talk to me
like that. I'm not a bloody child.

1037
01:18:27,246 --> 01:18:30,446
- Perhaps it would be better...
- Mr. Fallon, escort her home.

1038
01:18:30,516 --> 01:18:33,346
- My husband's being a bore.
- Oh, please.

1039
01:18:33,416 --> 01:18:37,216
- I see no reason you should suffer.
- Don't ruin this evening.

1040
01:18:39,626 --> 01:18:42,526
Good night, Mrs. Borden.
Good night, Freddie.

1041
01:18:46,966 --> 01:18:49,266
- Freddie?
- That's my name.

1042
01:18:49,336 --> 01:18:52,696
- Not at home.
- I'm not always at home, am I?

1043
01:18:54,506 --> 01:18:57,166
Couldn't you have at least
taken off the beard?

1044
01:18:57,246 --> 01:19:01,406
Sarah, I just came from the
bloody theater just now.

1045
01:19:01,476 --> 01:19:04,536
All right? I'm out in public.
Everybody else loves it.

1046
01:19:04,616 --> 01:19:06,546
Why are you being like this?

1047
01:19:06,616 --> 01:19:09,516
I had a terrible ordeal today.

1048
01:19:09,586 --> 01:19:13,356
I thought that something very precious...

1049
01:19:14,526 --> 01:19:16,456
...had been lost to me.

1050
01:19:16,526 --> 01:19:19,656
So I just wanted to
celebrate just a little.

1051
01:19:19,726 --> 01:19:23,186
All right, what? What did you lose?

1052
01:19:28,336 --> 01:19:29,896
I see, more secrets.

1053
01:19:30,846 --> 01:19:34,006
Sarah, secrets are my life.

1054
01:19:35,946 --> 01:19:38,316
- Our life.
- No, Alfred, stop, this isn't you.

1055
01:19:39,286 --> 01:19:41,756
Stop performing.

1056
01:20:05,906 --> 01:20:08,406
I thought I had the place to myself.

1057
01:20:08,476 --> 01:20:11,776
Unexpected guests, not very polite.

1058
01:20:11,846 --> 01:20:13,676
A lot of questions.

1059
01:20:13,756 --> 01:20:16,546
At first, I thought they
worked for the government.

1060
01:20:16,616 --> 01:20:20,286
- No?
- Worse, they work for Thomas Edison.

1061
01:20:22,256 --> 01:20:24,746
Today, a most curious development.

1062
01:20:24,826 --> 01:20:27,886
His assistant came to
us with a proposition.

1063
01:20:29,536 --> 01:20:32,936
Obviously, Angier has sent her
and told her to admit as much.

1064
01:20:33,006 --> 01:20:35,806
Does he enjoy taking his
bows under the stage?

1065
01:20:35,876 --> 01:20:39,636
He sent me here to steal your secrets,
but I've come to offer you his.

1066
01:20:39,706 --> 01:20:42,676
This is the truth...

1067
01:20:42,746 --> 01:20:43,736
...is it?

1068
01:20:51,786 --> 01:20:55,246
No, that's what he told me to tell you.
The truth...

1069
01:20:55,326 --> 01:20:59,156
...is that I loved him and I stood
by him and he sent me to you,

1070
01:20:59,226 --> 01:21:02,756
like he would send a stagehand
to pick up his shirts.

1071
01:21:02,836 --> 01:21:05,636
I hate him for that.

1072
01:21:05,706 --> 01:21:08,936
I could spot Angier's methods
from the back of the theater.

1073
01:21:10,646 --> 01:21:12,906
So, what could you
possibly have to offer me?

1074
01:21:12,976 --> 01:21:14,606
You may know his tricks,

1075
01:21:14,676 --> 01:21:17,736
but you can't understand why
no one sees yours are better.

1076
01:21:17,816 --> 01:21:20,376
You hide this. I had to look very closely

1077
01:21:20,456 --> 01:21:22,786
to spot it during The Transported Man,

1078
01:21:22,856 --> 01:21:25,686
but this makes you unique.

1079
01:21:25,756 --> 01:21:27,786
It shows you aren't using a double.

1080
01:21:27,856 --> 01:21:30,346
You mustn't hide it. You
must display it proudly.

1081
01:21:30,426 --> 01:21:35,196
I'm sure it takes great skill to
perform illusions with one good hand.

1082
01:21:35,266 --> 01:21:37,026
Yeah, it does.

1083
01:21:38,806 --> 01:21:41,966
So let people know.

1084
01:21:42,036 --> 01:21:45,536
You can be so much more than
he is and I can show you how.

1085
01:21:47,246 --> 01:21:49,836
I think she's telling the truth.

1086
01:21:49,916 --> 01:21:52,036
I think we cannot trust her.

1087
01:21:55,586 --> 01:21:58,056
But I love her. I need her.

1088
01:21:59,256 --> 01:22:02,586
To open myself to such a relationship,

1089
01:22:02,656 --> 01:22:06,496
to the dangers of such an affair,

1090
01:22:06,566 --> 01:22:11,366
I need assurances of fidelity, of love.

1091
01:22:12,406 --> 01:22:13,996
But how to be sure?

1092
01:22:16,206 --> 01:22:20,536
I know a way. It's the
only way to know her mind.

1093
01:22:20,616 --> 01:22:22,446
How could he send you away?

1094
01:22:24,316 --> 01:22:27,406
She must help me rid ourselves of Angier.

1095
01:22:34,026 --> 01:22:37,016
Today, my mistress proves her truthfulness.

1096
01:22:37,096 --> 01:22:38,826
Not to me, you understand.

1097
01:22:38,896 --> 01:22:41,526
I've been convinced since
she led me to Root.

1098
01:22:41,596 --> 01:22:45,126
Today, Olivia proves her love for me

1099
01:22:45,206 --> 01:22:47,666
to you, Angier.

1100
01:22:47,736 --> 01:22:52,146
Yes, Angier, she gave you
this notebook at my request.

1101
01:22:52,206 --> 01:22:55,646
And yes, "Tesla" is merely
the key to my dairy,

1102
01:22:55,716 --> 01:22:58,506
not to my trick. You really think I'd part

1103
01:22:58,586 --> 01:23:01,706
with my secret so easily after so much?

1104
01:23:01,786 --> 01:23:03,446
Goodbye, Angier.

1105
01:23:03,516 --> 01:23:05,886
May you find solace for
your forward ambition

1106
01:23:05,956 --> 01:23:07,756
back in your American home.

1107
01:23:17,266 --> 01:23:18,896
Tesla!

1108
01:23:20,836 --> 01:23:23,236
Tesla! Alley!

1109
01:23:24,446 --> 01:23:25,426
Alley!

1110
01:23:25,506 --> 01:23:28,106
Tesla never made a machine
like the one I asked for.

1111
01:23:28,176 --> 01:23:30,976
- I never said he had.
- You let me believe that he had.

1112
01:23:31,046 --> 01:23:33,746
You stole my money because
your funding was cut off.

1113
01:23:33,816 --> 01:23:36,716
You've been shooting sparks in my top hat,

1114
01:23:36,786 --> 01:23:40,276
laughing at me all along, while
using my money to stave off ruin.

1115
01:23:41,126 --> 01:23:43,256
- I have seen Edison's men.
- Where?

1116
01:23:43,326 --> 01:23:45,816
In the hotel, I have a mind
to bring them up here.

1117
01:23:45,896 --> 01:23:48,596
That would be unwise, Mr. Angier.

1118
01:23:48,666 --> 01:23:51,796
It is true that you are our
last remaining financier,

1119
01:23:51,866 --> 01:23:53,736
but we have not stolen your money.

1120
01:23:53,806 --> 01:23:55,276
This is my cat.

1121
01:23:55,336 --> 01:23:58,396
When I told you I could make you
a machine, I spoke a truth.

1122
01:23:58,476 --> 01:23:59,566
Why isn't it working?

1123
01:23:59,646 --> 01:24:01,976
Because exact science, Mr. Angier,

1124
01:24:02,046 --> 01:24:03,446
is not an exact science.

1125
01:24:03,516 --> 01:24:06,676
The machine simply does
not operate as expected.

1126
01:24:06,746 --> 01:24:10,776
- It requires further examination.
- So where did my top hat go?

1127
01:24:10,856 --> 01:24:11,916
Nowhere.

1128
01:24:11,986 --> 01:24:14,786
We tried the damn thing a dozen times.

1129
01:24:14,856 --> 01:24:16,486
The hat went nowhere.

1130
01:24:16,556 --> 01:24:18,456
We need to try different material.

1131
01:24:18,526 --> 01:24:20,686
It may provoke a different result.

1132
01:24:23,336 --> 01:24:24,896
Great.

1133
01:24:32,046 --> 01:24:36,006
You are responsible for whatever
happens to this animal, doctor.

1134
01:24:57,536 --> 01:25:00,166
I hope whatever you were
really doing with my money

1135
01:25:00,236 --> 01:25:02,676
was more worthwhile, Mr. Tesla.

1136
01:25:58,596 --> 01:25:59,586
Alley!

1137
01:26:02,666 --> 01:26:04,396
So the machine was working?

1138
01:26:04,466 --> 01:26:08,096
I never checked the calibration,
'cause the hat never moved.

1139
01:26:08,176 --> 01:26:11,036
These things never quite
work as you expect them to.

1140
01:26:11,106 --> 01:26:13,596
That's one of the principal
beauties of science.

1141
01:26:13,676 --> 01:26:17,136
I'll need a couple of weeks to iron
out the problems with the machine.

1142
01:26:17,316 --> 01:26:19,276
We'll send word when it's ready.

1143
01:26:21,486 --> 01:26:24,456
Don't forget your hat.

1144
01:26:24,526 --> 01:26:28,256
- Well, which one is mine?
- They are all your hats.

1145
01:26:34,196 --> 01:26:37,186
You look so pretty in
this new dress of yours.

1146
01:26:37,266 --> 01:26:41,106
- Are we going to the zoo?
- No, Daddy has some errands to run.

1147
01:26:41,176 --> 01:26:43,406
- But you promised.
- I promised, did I?

1148
01:26:43,476 --> 01:26:45,776
Then go to the zoo, we shall.

1149
01:26:45,846 --> 01:26:49,296
Daddy will go run his errands, and
I'll be back before you know it.

1150
01:26:49,376 --> 01:26:53,106
So you go get ready. We'll
go see those chimpanzees.

1151
01:26:56,116 --> 01:26:59,516
Sarah... what are you doing?

1152
01:27:03,196 --> 01:27:06,186
Each of us have our vices.

1153
01:27:09,296 --> 01:27:11,766
Sarah, whatever you may think...

1154
01:27:13,336 --> 01:27:16,966
...your only competition for my
affections is our little girl.

1155
01:27:17,036 --> 01:27:20,006
I love you. I will always love you

1156
01:27:20,076 --> 01:27:21,506
and you alone.

1157
01:27:23,376 --> 01:27:27,176
- You mean it today.
- Absolutely.

1158
01:27:27,246 --> 01:27:31,086
Which makes it so much
harder when you don't.

1159
01:27:40,426 --> 01:27:43,226
More shopping. She does
love the smell of money.

1160
01:27:43,296 --> 01:27:47,596
The little lady wants to go to the zoo,
so I thought you could take her, yeah?

1161
01:27:47,676 --> 01:27:50,036
I mean, I can do it tomorrow, if not.

1162
01:27:50,106 --> 01:27:53,406
And, uh... Sarah,

1163
01:27:53,476 --> 01:27:55,606
she knows.

1164
01:27:55,676 --> 01:27:59,846
Uh, at least she knows that
something is not right,

1165
01:27:59,916 --> 01:28:02,816
so if you can just do
whatever you can to help me.

1166
01:28:02,886 --> 01:28:07,446
Talk to her, just convince
her that I do love her.

1167
01:28:18,106 --> 01:28:20,066
What is it, Freddie?

1168
01:28:20,136 --> 01:28:22,436
Listen, don't call me that, please.

1169
01:28:22,506 --> 01:28:26,376
It's nothing. It's just that
sometimes it seems wrong.

1170
01:28:26,446 --> 01:28:28,936
I told you, when you're
with me, you're with me.

1171
01:28:29,016 --> 01:28:32,036
Leave your family at
home where they belong.

1172
01:28:32,116 --> 01:28:35,376
I'm trying. I'm trying, Olivia.

1173
01:28:35,456 --> 01:28:37,816
- I'll get dressed.
- Yeah.

1174
01:28:39,326 --> 01:28:42,346
I saw Fallon hanging around again.

1175
01:28:42,426 --> 01:28:44,896
There's something about
that man I don't trust.

1176
01:28:44,966 --> 01:28:48,026
You trust me? Then trust Fallon.

1177
01:28:48,096 --> 01:28:50,756
He protects the things that I care about.

1178
01:29:29,006 --> 01:29:31,496
We're sorry to see you go, Mr. Angier.

1179
01:29:31,576 --> 01:29:34,136
We were sorry to see Mr.
Tesla leave, as well.

1180
01:29:34,316 --> 01:29:36,306
He's very good to Colorado Springs.

1181
01:29:36,376 --> 01:29:39,046
Mr. Angier,

1182
01:29:39,116 --> 01:29:42,746
I didn't think it was necessary to
tell Edison's men about the box.

1183
01:29:42,816 --> 01:29:44,476
What box?

1184
01:30:09,816 --> 01:30:12,316
I apologize for leaving
without saying goodbye.

1185
01:30:13,286 --> 01:30:18,516
But I seem to have outstayed
my welcome in Colorado.

1186
01:30:18,586 --> 01:30:23,086
The truly extraordinary is not
permitted in science and industry.

1187
01:30:23,156 --> 01:30:25,956
Perhaps you'll find more
luck in your field,

1188
01:30:26,026 --> 01:30:28,696
where people are happy to be mystified.

1189
01:30:28,766 --> 01:30:32,726
You will find what you are
looking for in this box.

1190
01:30:32,806 --> 01:30:37,236
Alley has written you a
thorough set of instructions.

1191
01:30:37,306 --> 01:30:42,036
I add only one suggestion
on using the machine.

1192
01:30:42,116 --> 01:30:44,076
Destroy it.

1193
01:30:44,146 --> 01:30:47,446
Drop it to the bottom of the deepest ocean.

1194
01:30:47,516 --> 01:30:50,916
Such a thing will bring you only misery.

1195
01:30:54,796 --> 01:30:58,416
Tesla's warning is as unheeded
as he knew it would be.

1196
01:30:58,496 --> 01:31:02,056
Today I tested the machine.
Taking precautions in case

1197
01:31:02,136 --> 01:31:05,106
Tesla hadn't ironed out the
kinks in its operation.

1198
01:31:05,166 --> 01:31:06,966
But if it went wrong,

1199
01:31:07,036 --> 01:31:09,196
I would not want to live
like that for long.

1200
01:31:28,656 --> 01:31:32,786
But here at the turn, I
must leave you, Borden.

1201
01:31:32,866 --> 01:31:35,096
Yes, you, Borden,

1202
01:31:35,166 --> 01:31:37,536
sitting there in your cell,

1203
01:31:37,606 --> 01:31:41,626
reading my diary, awaiting your death,

1204
01:31:41,706 --> 01:31:43,696
for my murder.

1205
01:31:49,046 --> 01:31:52,346
Angier's journal, that gesture
of good faith, that's a fake.

1206
01:31:52,416 --> 01:31:53,716
I assure you, it's not.

1207
01:31:53,786 --> 01:31:56,716
The provenance of the journal
is clear and under no doubt.

1208
01:31:56,786 --> 01:32:01,276
And it's written in Angier's own hand,
for which we have numerous examples.

1209
01:32:03,156 --> 01:32:05,056
It don't matter.

1210
01:32:06,996 --> 01:32:09,026
So my tricks.

1211
01:32:12,266 --> 01:32:15,726
- All of them.
- Including The Transported Man?

1212
01:32:17,176 --> 01:32:20,366
- Lord Caldlow will be very pleased.
- No, he won't.

1213
01:32:20,446 --> 01:32:22,806
They're not complete.

1214
01:32:22,876 --> 01:32:25,606
It's just the pledge and the turn for each.

1215
01:32:25,686 --> 01:32:29,746
Without the prestige for these
tricks, these are worthless.

1216
01:32:29,816 --> 01:32:31,846
Yeah.

1217
01:32:31,926 --> 01:32:35,446
You get the rest of it... when
you bring my daughter here.

1218
01:32:38,196 --> 01:32:40,426
I want to say goodbye.

1219
01:32:42,166 --> 01:32:45,326
We have to go through it now.
We have to go through it now.

1220
01:32:45,406 --> 01:32:47,766
Now, listen to me, deny it all you want.

1221
01:32:47,836 --> 01:32:50,206
Olivia means nothing.

1222
01:32:50,276 --> 01:32:52,066
- Olivia?
- I need an assistant.

1223
01:32:52,146 --> 01:32:54,976
- I'll go to her, I'll tell her.
- You'll tell her what?

1224
01:32:55,046 --> 01:32:57,106
I know what you really are, Alfred.

1225
01:32:58,316 --> 01:33:00,976
- I know.
- Sarah, Sarah, Sarah.

1226
01:33:01,056 --> 01:33:03,676
- I can't keep it in.
- You can't talk like this.

1227
01:33:03,756 --> 01:33:06,276
- No. No.
- Sarah, shut up! Sarah, shut up!

1228
01:33:06,356 --> 01:33:10,486
I don't want to hear it anymore.
You can't talk like this.

1229
01:33:13,096 --> 01:33:16,496
You can't hide it anymore,
because I know, Alfred, I know.

1230
01:33:16,566 --> 01:33:20,006
I know what you really are, Alfred.

1231
01:33:20,066 --> 01:33:22,866
I can't live like this.

1232
01:33:22,936 --> 01:33:25,066
Oh, well, you think I can live like this?

1233
01:33:25,146 --> 01:33:28,306
You think I bloody enjoy living like this?

1234
01:33:28,376 --> 01:33:32,786
We have this beautiful house,
lovely little girl, we're married.

1235
01:33:32,846 --> 01:33:34,506
What is so wrong with your life?

1236
01:33:34,586 --> 01:33:37,176
Alfred, I can't live like this!

1237
01:33:37,256 --> 01:33:39,616
Well, what do you want from me?

1238
01:33:42,956 --> 01:33:46,656
I... I want...

1239
01:33:46,726 --> 01:33:49,786
I want you to be... honest with me.

1240
01:33:52,536 --> 01:33:55,006
No tricks.

1241
01:33:55,076 --> 01:33:57,166
No lies.

1242
01:33:57,236 --> 01:34:01,036
And no secrets.

1243
01:34:07,316 --> 01:34:10,646
Do you... do you love me?

1244
01:34:13,726 --> 01:34:15,346
Not today.

1245
01:34:17,496 --> 01:34:18,556
No.

1246
01:35:56,226 --> 01:35:57,246
Who's there?

1247
01:36:00,396 --> 01:36:02,486
I'm looking for an old friend.

1248
01:36:02,566 --> 01:36:05,496
I heard about a booking,
nice little theater,

1249
01:36:05,566 --> 01:36:08,006
- good up-and-coming magician.
- You're back.

1250
01:36:08,076 --> 01:36:09,666
It's good to see you, John.

1251
01:36:10,436 --> 01:36:13,166
Good rehearsal space.

1252
01:36:13,246 --> 01:36:16,006
Blind stagehands, I like it.

1253
01:36:16,076 --> 01:36:18,746
You always had a good eye for publicity.

1254
01:36:18,816 --> 01:36:20,146
I need your help, John.

1255
01:36:20,216 --> 01:36:23,016
It's my last show. A limited engagement.

1256
01:36:23,086 --> 01:36:24,716
Your last show?

1257
01:36:24,786 --> 01:36:28,916
A wise man once told me obsession
was a young man's game.

1258
01:36:28,996 --> 01:36:32,556
I'm almost done. There's one thing left.

1259
01:36:33,566 --> 01:36:36,086
The Real Transported Man.

1260
01:36:37,906 --> 01:36:39,896
You want to design a show around it?

1261
01:36:39,966 --> 01:36:42,836
I don't want you backstage I
need you in front managing.

1262
01:36:42,906 --> 01:36:45,566
Call in any favors or
connections you have left

1263
01:36:45,646 --> 01:36:47,106
to get us the right booking.

1264
01:36:47,176 --> 01:36:49,266
What sort of booking you after?

1265
01:36:49,346 --> 01:36:51,746
The sort that Borden can't ignore.

1266
01:36:58,126 --> 01:37:01,356
Oh, what an honor it is
to see you again, sir.

1267
01:37:01,426 --> 01:37:05,386
You told me you only wanted to show me
one trick that'd pique my interest.

1268
01:37:05,466 --> 01:37:08,626
- It's a very clever trick.
- Pleased to meet you, Mr. Ackerman.

1269
01:37:08,696 --> 01:37:11,566
Likewise, I'm sure. Let's get on, shall we?

1270
01:37:15,206 --> 01:37:16,966
Turn it on, gentlemen.

1271
01:37:21,316 --> 01:37:23,336
Very pretty.

1272
01:37:34,386 --> 01:37:38,056
That's it, Cutter? He simply disappears?

1273
01:37:38,126 --> 01:37:40,496
That's not a trick. He has to come back.

1274
01:37:40,566 --> 01:37:42,726
- There has to be a...
- A prestige?

1275
01:37:42,796 --> 01:37:43,786
Exactly.

1276
01:37:46,806 --> 01:37:49,466
Pardon me.

1277
01:37:49,536 --> 01:37:52,806
It's very rare to see...

1278
01:37:52,876 --> 01:37:54,346
...real magic.

1279
01:37:55,846 --> 01:37:57,536
It's been many years since...

1280
01:37:57,616 --> 01:37:59,346
Are you interested in helping us?

1281
01:38:01,416 --> 01:38:05,146
Yes... but you'll have
to dress it up a little.

1282
01:38:07,426 --> 01:38:09,086
Disguise it.

1283
01:38:10,756 --> 01:38:13,256
Give them enough reason to doubt it.

1284
01:38:14,066 --> 01:38:17,296
You haven't spoken about
her, Freddie, not once.

1285
01:38:17,366 --> 01:38:21,066
Why would I talk about her to you, hm?

1286
01:38:21,136 --> 01:38:25,006
Because she was a part of
your life and now she's gone.

1287
01:38:27,976 --> 01:38:32,476
You know, the day before she killed
herself she said she wanted to meet me.

1288
01:38:32,546 --> 01:38:35,486
That she had something
to tell me about you.

1289
01:38:35,556 --> 01:38:39,146
I was such a coward, I couldn't
bring myself to face her.

1290
01:38:39,226 --> 01:38:40,716
But...

1291
01:38:41,926 --> 01:38:44,186
...what would she have said?

1292
01:38:44,256 --> 01:38:47,356
You want to know the truth about me?

1293
01:38:48,636 --> 01:38:51,126
The truth is that...

1294
01:38:53,306 --> 01:38:55,296
...I never loved Sarah.

1295
01:38:56,506 --> 01:38:57,996
I never loved her.

1296
01:38:58,076 --> 01:39:00,306
You married her, you had a child with her.

1297
01:39:00,376 --> 01:39:03,466
Yes. Part of me. Part of me did, but...

1298
01:39:03,546 --> 01:39:05,476
...the other part didn't.

1299
01:39:05,546 --> 01:39:09,776
The part that found you, the part
that's sitting here right now.

1300
01:39:09,856 --> 01:39:12,916
I love you. No, Olivia, I love you.

1301
01:39:12,986 --> 01:39:14,956
That's the truth.

1302
01:39:15,026 --> 01:39:17,426
That is the truth that matters.

1303
01:39:17,496 --> 01:39:21,896
You could be in some other restaurant
with some other woman right now,

1304
01:39:21,966 --> 01:39:23,556
talking about me that way.

1305
01:39:23,636 --> 01:39:25,756
- No.
- Yes.

1306
01:39:29,206 --> 01:39:32,936
It's inhuman to be so cold.

1307
01:39:38,616 --> 01:39:39,876
He's back.

1308
01:39:40,786 --> 01:39:44,046
After two years, he's got a new trick.

1309
01:39:44,116 --> 01:39:46,786
They're saying it's the
best London's ever seen.

1310
01:39:48,996 --> 01:39:51,456
You should see the look
on your face, Professor.

1311
01:39:53,326 --> 01:39:55,266
You should go to him.

1312
01:39:55,336 --> 01:39:57,856
You two deserve each other.

1313
01:40:02,836 --> 01:40:06,776
But I'm afraid I'm booked. The Moscow
Ballet plays through next year.

1314
01:40:06,846 --> 01:40:11,406
Then get rid of them. There will be
100 performances, no more, no less.

1315
01:40:11,486 --> 01:40:13,976
Five performances a week, no matinees.

1316
01:40:15,786 --> 01:40:18,816
That's what you'll charge
for each ticket. Good day.

1317
01:40:41,546 --> 01:40:46,176
Ladies and gentlemen, my first trick of
the evening involves considerable risk.

1318
01:40:47,416 --> 01:40:48,786
Anyone in the audience

1319
01:40:48,856 --> 01:40:51,686
who would be irrevocably
damaged by seeing a man drown

1320
01:40:51,756 --> 01:40:53,346
should leave now.

1321
01:40:53,426 --> 01:40:56,216
When I tell you the lady who
taught me this illusion

1322
01:40:56,296 --> 01:40:58,286
actually died performing it,

1323
01:40:58,366 --> 01:41:01,656
you'll understand the seriousness
of the dangers involved.

1324
01:41:03,836 --> 01:41:06,236
Let's begin.

1325
01:41:15,946 --> 01:41:18,576
In my travels, I have seen the future.

1326
01:41:20,386 --> 01:41:23,976
And it is a strange future, indeed.

1327
01:41:24,056 --> 01:41:25,316
The world, ladies and gentlemen,

1328
01:41:26,286 --> 01:41:28,586
is on the brink of new

1329
01:41:28,656 --> 01:41:30,386
and terrifying possibilities.

1330
01:41:50,876 --> 01:41:54,336
What you're about to witness is not magic.

1331
01:41:55,516 --> 01:41:56,916
It's purely science.

1332
01:41:56,986 --> 01:41:59,416
I'd like to invite you
to come up on stage now

1333
01:41:59,486 --> 01:42:02,476
so that you can examine the
machine for yourselves.

1334
01:42:57,776 --> 01:42:59,616
Man's reach

1335
01:42:59,686 --> 01:43:02,806
exceeds his imagination.

1336
01:43:14,096 --> 01:43:15,466
Bravo!

1337
01:43:23,506 --> 01:43:26,236
One hundred performances. Why?

1338
01:43:26,306 --> 01:43:27,866
Does his method dictate that?

1339
01:43:27,946 --> 01:43:29,846
Is it a publicity move? What is it?

1340
01:43:29,916 --> 01:43:32,276
He's a no-talent magician,
and they call him

1341
01:43:32,346 --> 01:43:34,746
the bloody best in England. Why?

1342
01:43:34,816 --> 01:43:37,586
Fifty yards in a second! In a second!

1343
01:43:37,656 --> 01:43:40,746
And all that we know is
he uses a trap door.

1344
01:43:40,826 --> 01:43:45,086
Brilliant! What is going
on under that stage? Huh?!

1345
01:43:45,166 --> 01:43:47,596
Why can't you out-think him?

1346
01:44:02,716 --> 01:44:07,916
They do this every night,
after each performance. Yeah?

1347
01:44:36,416 --> 01:44:39,386
We're done.

1348
01:44:40,686 --> 01:44:42,246
All right?

1349
01:44:43,556 --> 01:44:45,316
Let him have his trick.

1350
01:44:45,386 --> 01:44:47,876
I don't need his secret.

1351
01:44:47,956 --> 01:44:49,446
So...

1352
01:44:50,956 --> 01:44:53,926
...don't go back there,
you leave him alone.

1353
01:44:53,996 --> 01:44:57,266
Both of us... just leave him alone.

1354
01:44:57,336 --> 01:44:58,956
We're done.

1355
01:45:07,706 --> 01:45:09,766
I told you, John.

1356
01:45:09,846 --> 01:45:11,936
I don't want you backstage on this one.

1357
01:45:13,586 --> 01:45:15,986
I would like to invite you onstage now

1358
01:45:16,056 --> 01:45:18,746
so that you can examine the
machine for yourselves.

1359
01:45:47,946 --> 01:45:51,686
- Hey, where do you think...?
- I'm part of the bloody act, you fool.

1360
01:46:00,696 --> 01:46:01,686
Who was that?

1361
01:46:58,256 --> 01:47:02,386
Hey! Where's the bloody key?!

1362
01:47:02,456 --> 01:47:04,016
Where's the bloody key?!

1363
01:47:06,466 --> 01:47:10,196
Where's the bloody key?!
He's bloody drowning!

1364
01:47:19,446 --> 01:47:20,426
Hold on!

1365
01:47:25,746 --> 01:47:26,316
What have you done?

1366
01:47:49,036 --> 01:47:54,476
Alfred Borden, you have been found
guilty of the murder of Robert Angier.

1367
01:47:54,546 --> 01:47:58,776
You will be hanged by the neck until dead.

1368
01:47:58,846 --> 01:48:01,816
May the Lord have mercy on your soul.

1369
01:48:03,586 --> 01:48:05,746
Mr. Cutter?

1370
01:48:05,826 --> 01:48:07,446
Owens.

1371
01:48:07,526 --> 01:48:10,356
Oh, thank you for coming, Mr. Owens.

1372
01:48:10,426 --> 01:48:14,796
It has fallen to me to dispose of Mr.
Angier's equipment.

1373
01:48:14,866 --> 01:48:16,456
But I notice from this manifest

1374
01:48:16,536 --> 01:48:20,226
that Lord Caldlow has purchased
the bulk of the items.

1375
01:48:20,306 --> 01:48:23,606
Mr. Cutter, if you need to know
where to deliver these items...

1376
01:48:23,676 --> 01:48:27,266
No, it's just there is one particular item,

1377
01:48:28,206 --> 01:48:30,806
this item, in fact,

1378
01:48:30,876 --> 01:48:33,146
- I would like to...
- You would like to...

1379
01:48:33,316 --> 01:48:34,306
...buy.

1380
01:48:34,386 --> 01:48:36,286
- Buy yourself?
- Yeah, I suppose so.

1381
01:48:37,516 --> 01:48:39,456
- This is the machine?
- Yes.

1382
01:48:39,526 --> 01:48:41,756
Well, I'm afraid Lord Caldlow was adamant

1383
01:48:41,826 --> 01:48:44,056
about purchasing this particular item.

1384
01:48:44,126 --> 01:48:47,216
Do you think I could talk
to Lord Caldlow in person?

1385
01:48:47,296 --> 01:48:50,056
Out of the question, I'm afraid.

1386
01:48:52,506 --> 01:48:54,406
Of course,

1387
01:48:54,466 --> 01:48:57,706
I suppose if, in the course of
your delivery arrangements,

1388
01:48:57,776 --> 01:49:02,236
your paths were to cross, I can't
stop you speaking your mind.

1389
01:49:02,316 --> 01:49:04,336
Thank you.

1390
01:49:05,916 --> 01:49:08,076
- Still here, Borden?
- For now.

1391
01:49:08,686 --> 01:49:11,656
You got a visitor. Lord Caldlow.

1392
01:49:11,716 --> 01:49:13,816
With a little girl.

1393
01:49:22,096 --> 01:49:23,996
Jess?

1394
01:49:24,066 --> 01:49:25,696
Hello, my love.

1395
01:49:25,766 --> 01:49:29,226
How are you? I've missed you so much.

1396
01:49:29,306 --> 01:49:31,436
Fallon's missed you too. We both have.

1397
01:49:31,506 --> 01:49:33,836
Daddy, can I come in there?

1398
01:49:34,476 --> 01:49:37,106
Not right now. Not right now, darling.

1399
01:49:37,176 --> 01:49:39,446
No, but everything is gonna be all right.

1400
01:49:41,016 --> 01:49:42,746
You must be Lord Caldlow?

1401
01:49:42,816 --> 01:49:46,546
Caldlow. Yes, I am. I always have been.

1402
01:49:51,596 --> 01:49:53,786
They flatter you with all those chains.

1403
01:49:53,866 --> 01:49:56,886
Don't they know you can't escape
without your rubber ball?

1404
01:49:56,966 --> 01:49:59,956
I pulled you out... out of that tank.

1405
01:50:00,036 --> 01:50:03,866
All I wanted to do was prove
that I was a better magician.

1406
01:50:03,936 --> 01:50:05,836
But you couldn't leave me alone.

1407
01:50:07,346 --> 01:50:09,436
I don't know what you've done.

1408
01:50:11,346 --> 01:50:15,046
But you're not afraid to get your
hands dirty anymore, are you?

1409
01:50:15,116 --> 01:50:18,386
No, not anymore. And I win.

1410
01:50:18,456 --> 01:50:21,786
No one cares about the man in the
box, the man who disappears.

1411
01:50:21,856 --> 01:50:22,986
You win?

1412
01:50:24,426 --> 01:50:29,086
This ain't a bloody competition anymore.
This is my little girl's life.

1413
01:50:29,166 --> 01:50:32,156
And don't you dare put her
in the middle of this.

1414
01:50:32,236 --> 01:50:35,226
Oh, I know how hard it is
to have someone so special

1415
01:50:35,306 --> 01:50:37,666
taken away from you, don't I, Borden?

1416
01:50:38,676 --> 01:50:41,406
And you can't take it
with you, now, can you?

1417
01:50:41,476 --> 01:50:43,376
Oh, she'll be looked after.

1418
01:50:43,446 --> 01:50:45,466
Goodbye, Professor. Come on, darling.

1419
01:50:45,546 --> 01:50:47,306
No, no, no, no, stop, my darling.

1420
01:50:47,386 --> 01:50:49,506
Look, here.

1421
01:50:51,056 --> 01:50:54,316
That's what you're after.
That's what this is about.

1422
01:50:55,126 --> 01:50:56,486
Take it.

1423
01:50:56,556 --> 01:50:58,256
- Your secret?
- Yeah.

1424
01:51:01,466 --> 01:51:05,026
You always were the better magician.
We both know that.

1425
01:51:05,666 --> 01:51:08,266
Whatever your secret
was, you have to agree,

1426
01:51:09,406 --> 01:51:10,736
mine is better.

1427
01:51:12,446 --> 01:51:15,806
Don't do this. Don't do this, Angier.
Jess, Jess!

1428
01:51:15,876 --> 01:51:19,406
Jess, I'm gonna take you home soon.
I promise.

1429
01:51:19,486 --> 01:51:22,046
- For God's sake.
- I promise. Look!

1430
01:51:25,886 --> 01:51:29,486
I promise. I love you, Jess.

1431
01:51:29,556 --> 01:51:31,216
I love you.

1432
01:51:31,296 --> 01:51:32,916
- Come on.
- I love you.

1433
01:51:32,996 --> 01:51:34,686
I love you, Jess.

1434
01:51:34,766 --> 01:51:37,096
Angier! Angier!

1435
01:51:37,166 --> 01:51:39,256
What, do you think this place can hold me?

1436
01:51:39,336 --> 01:51:42,356
Angier! They're gonna bloody hang me!

1437
01:51:42,436 --> 01:51:44,966
And you can put a stop to this now!

1438
01:51:45,606 --> 01:51:47,806
Listen! Listen! That man...

1439
01:51:47,876 --> 01:51:50,246
Listen, that man is the
one I'm in for killing!

1440
01:51:50,316 --> 01:51:54,646
Listen! If he's alive, I'm not guilty!

1441
01:51:54,716 --> 01:51:56,976
- I'm not guilty!
- I don't care!

1442
01:51:57,056 --> 01:51:59,146
- Get hold of him.
- Angier!

1443
01:52:03,826 --> 01:52:06,386
Run along now.

1444
01:52:06,466 --> 01:52:08,986
Sir, there's a gentleman waiting.

1445
01:52:25,816 --> 01:52:28,546
- Dear God.
- Hello, Cutter.

1446
01:52:29,516 --> 01:52:31,956
You're still alive.

1447
01:52:32,016 --> 01:52:33,886
How is it you're still alive?

1448
01:52:33,956 --> 01:52:36,356
I saw you on a slab, for God's sake.

1449
01:52:39,366 --> 01:52:41,386
- Child.
- Good night, sir.

1450
01:52:41,466 --> 01:52:43,436
Good night, Jess.

1451
01:52:44,666 --> 01:52:46,326
I've seen her before.

1452
01:52:46,406 --> 01:52:48,926
I saw her in court with...

1453
01:52:49,876 --> 01:52:51,496
...Fallon.

1454
01:52:53,606 --> 01:52:56,206
- What have you done?
- She needs looking after.

1455
01:52:56,276 --> 01:52:58,766
She needs her father.

1456
01:52:58,846 --> 01:53:01,816
You're letting him hang, and I helped you.

1457
01:53:01,886 --> 01:53:06,826
I came here to beg Lord Caldlow
to let me destroy that machine.

1458
01:53:08,286 --> 01:53:11,726
I am not going to beg you for anything.

1459
01:53:11,796 --> 01:53:15,056
You don't have to. I'm gonna make
sure it is never used again.

1460
01:53:16,196 --> 01:53:19,296
Then, Lord Caldlow...

1461
01:53:21,836 --> 01:53:23,896
...where do you want me to deliver it?

1462
01:53:23,976 --> 01:53:27,736
My theater. It belongs with
the prestige materials.

1463
01:53:28,206 --> 01:53:30,806
John, I tried not to involve you.

1464
01:53:43,756 --> 01:53:46,026
So...

1465
01:53:48,066 --> 01:53:50,656
We go alone now.

1466
01:53:50,736 --> 01:53:53,166
Both of us.

1467
01:53:55,976 --> 01:53:59,376
I mean, I don't have as far to go as you.

1468
01:54:04,676 --> 01:54:06,016
No.

1469
01:54:07,546 --> 01:54:10,606
You were right. I should have
left him to his damn trick.

1470
01:54:12,386 --> 01:54:14,476
I'm sorry.

1471
01:54:16,026 --> 01:54:18,356
I'm sorry for a lot of things.

1472
01:54:19,496 --> 01:54:22,226
I'm sorry about Sarah.

1473
01:54:23,336 --> 01:54:26,786
Didn't mean to hurt her, I didn't.

1474
01:54:28,666 --> 01:54:33,006
You go live your life in full now,
all right? You live for both of us.

1475
01:54:41,846 --> 01:54:43,336
Goodbye.

1476
01:55:29,136 --> 01:55:31,566
Are you watching closely?

1477
01:56:02,936 --> 01:56:04,866
Put it down on the end.

1478
01:56:38,266 --> 01:56:42,036
Take a minute to consider your achievement.

1479
01:56:43,106 --> 01:56:45,906
I once told you about a sailor

1480
01:56:45,976 --> 01:56:48,276
who described drowning to me.

1481
01:56:48,346 --> 01:56:50,536
Yes, he said it was like going home.

1482
01:56:51,646 --> 01:56:55,416
I was lying. He said it was agony.

1483
01:57:35,156 --> 01:57:39,326
Alfred Borden, this day,
in the name of the king

1484
01:57:39,396 --> 01:57:41,386
and the High Court of England,

1485
01:57:41,466 --> 01:57:43,296
you will meet your end.

1486
01:57:45,396 --> 01:57:47,426
No one cares about the man in the box.

1487
01:57:52,276 --> 01:57:54,006
Cutter?

1488
01:57:58,676 --> 01:58:00,206
Cutter!

1489
01:58:02,086 --> 01:58:04,346
Do you have anything to say?

1490
01:58:09,086 --> 01:58:10,486
Abracadabra.

1491
01:58:47,126 --> 01:58:49,856
A brother? A twin?

1492
01:58:51,696 --> 01:58:54,066
You were Fallon.

1493
01:58:55,566 --> 01:58:58,236
- The whole time?
- No.

1494
01:58:59,276 --> 01:59:01,606
We were both Fallon.

1495
01:59:01,676 --> 01:59:03,576
We were both Borden.

1496
01:59:08,946 --> 01:59:11,916
Were you the one who went into the box?

1497
01:59:11,986 --> 01:59:13,686
Or the one who came back out?

1498
01:59:14,986 --> 01:59:17,286
We took turns.

1499
01:59:22,096 --> 01:59:24,156
The trick is where we would swap.

1500
01:59:30,376 --> 01:59:32,276
Cutter knew. Cutter knew.

1501
01:59:32,336 --> 01:59:34,606
But I told him it was too simple, too easy.

1502
01:59:35,806 --> 01:59:36,796
No.

1503
01:59:38,346 --> 01:59:40,316
Simple, maybe, but not easy.

1504
01:59:40,386 --> 01:59:44,146
There's nothing easy about
two men sharing one life.

1505
01:59:49,826 --> 01:59:53,026
I don't understand, how
it can be bleeding again?

1506
01:59:56,496 --> 01:59:59,296
Wha... What about Olivia and your wife?

1507
02:00:00,306 --> 02:00:02,206
We each loved one of them.

1508
02:00:05,836 --> 02:00:08,566
I loved Sarah.

1509
02:00:08,646 --> 02:00:11,166
He loved Olivia.

1510
02:00:11,246 --> 02:00:13,676
We each had half of a full life,

1511
02:00:13,746 --> 02:00:16,736
really, which was enough for us...

1512
02:00:16,816 --> 02:00:17,806
...just.

1513
02:00:20,456 --> 02:00:22,186
But not for them.

1514
02:00:24,756 --> 02:00:26,986
See, sacrifice, Robert,

1515
02:00:27,066 --> 02:00:29,796
that's the price of a good trick.

1516
02:00:31,836 --> 02:00:34,396
You wouldn't know anything
about that, would you?

1517
02:00:37,676 --> 02:00:39,606
I've... I've made sacrifices.

1518
02:00:39,676 --> 02:00:41,646
- No.
- Yes.

1519
02:00:42,106 --> 02:00:45,206
It takes nothing to steal
another man's work.

1520
02:00:45,276 --> 02:00:48,046
Yeah, it takes everything.

1521
02:01:08,106 --> 02:01:10,226
No, no, wait, I'm not...

1522
02:01:16,916 --> 02:01:19,536
It took courage.

1523
02:01:21,546 --> 02:01:24,746
It took courage to climb into
that machine every night,

1524
02:01:25,556 --> 02:01:27,986
not knowing...

1525
02:01:28,056 --> 02:01:30,186
...if I'd be the man in the box...

1526
02:01:33,226 --> 02:01:34,486
...or in the prestige.

1527
02:01:35,826 --> 02:01:38,856
Do you want to see...

1528
02:01:38,936 --> 02:01:41,236
...what it cost me?

1529
02:01:41,306 --> 02:01:44,066
You didn't see where you are, did you?

1530
02:01:44,976 --> 02:01:47,376
Look. Look.

1531
02:01:48,476 --> 02:01:49,966
I don't care.

1532
02:01:54,686 --> 02:01:58,246
You went halfway around the world.

1533
02:01:58,316 --> 02:02:01,086
You spent a fortune.

1534
02:02:03,156 --> 02:02:05,686
You did terrible things.

1535
02:02:06,696 --> 02:02:09,166
Really terrible things, Robert.

1536
02:02:11,196 --> 02:02:12,686
And all for nothing.

1537
02:02:13,666 --> 02:02:14,866
For nothing?

1538
02:02:14,936 --> 02:02:16,266
Yeah.

1539
02:02:19,946 --> 02:02:22,566
You never understood...

1540
02:02:22,646 --> 02:02:24,636
...why we did this.

1541
02:02:27,746 --> 02:02:30,306
The audience knows the truth.

1542
02:02:31,456 --> 02:02:33,886
The world is simple.

1543
02:02:33,956 --> 02:02:35,686
It's miserable.

1544
02:02:35,756 --> 02:02:39,456
Solid... Solid all the way through.

1545
02:02:41,796 --> 02:02:44,126
But if you could fool them,

1546
02:02:44,196 --> 02:02:46,356
even for a second...

1547
02:02:47,906 --> 02:02:50,306
...then you could make them wonder.

1548
02:02:51,436 --> 02:02:53,636
And then you...

1549
02:02:53,706 --> 02:02:55,936
Then you got to see something

1550
02:02:56,006 --> 02:02:57,676
very special.

1551
02:03:01,986 --> 02:03:04,506
You really don't know.

1552
02:03:07,586 --> 02:03:09,246
It was...

1553
02:03:10,326 --> 02:03:13,296
...it was the look on their faces.

1554
02:03:28,476 --> 02:03:33,316
Every magic trick consists
of three parts, or acts.

1555
02:03:36,756 --> 02:03:40,206
The first part is called "the pledge".

1556
02:03:40,286 --> 02:03:43,056
The magician shows you something ordinary.

1557
02:03:44,196 --> 02:03:47,126
The second act is called "the turn".

1558
02:03:48,596 --> 02:03:51,466
The magician takes the ordinary something

1559
02:03:51,536 --> 02:03:54,396
and makes it into something extraordinary.

1560
02:03:55,736 --> 02:03:59,636
But you wouldn't clap yet, because
making something disappear

1561
02:03:59,706 --> 02:04:03,806
isn't enough. You have to bring it back.

1562
02:04:38,246 --> 02:04:40,676
Now you're looking for the secret.

1563
02:04:43,616 --> 02:04:47,346
But you won't find it, because, of
course, you're not really looking.

1564
02:04:50,456 --> 02:04:53,896
You don't really want to work it out.

1565
02:04:56,696 --> 02:04:58,996
You want to be fooled.
