1
00:00:58,500 --> 00:01:05,220
I think you're just pooping and

2
00:01:05,220 --> 00:01:08,580
snooping. Just pooping and snooping, Mr.
Looper. Mr. Looper.

3
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:12,700
With a pair of first class. Quality
class binoculars.

4
00:01:13,100 --> 00:01:14,820
Made in Germany. Made in Germany.

5
00:01:16,410 --> 00:01:19,330
Good morning, Mr. Luper. Good morning,
Mr. Luper.

6
00:01:19,630 --> 00:01:22,570
Luper. Luper. Luper. Mr. Luper. Open
your mouth.

7
00:01:22,810 --> 00:01:23,950
I am the station dentist.

8
00:01:24,150 --> 00:01:26,490
Open your mouth. The dentist de la gare.
Open your mouth.

9
00:01:48,030 --> 00:01:54,750
When I blow the whistle, you must run
and climb the barrier.

10
00:01:58,030 --> 00:01:59,890
Imagine it's a garden wall.

11
00:02:03,110 --> 00:02:05,130
There is treasure on the other side.

12
00:02:05,430 --> 00:02:06,430
Are you ready?

13
00:02:08,210 --> 00:02:10,690
Watch for the dog.

14
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:25,860
Hip, hip, hip, hooray, the sun has got
its hat on, and it's coming out today.

15
00:02:26,100 --> 00:02:30,540
Can you truly, Mr. Luper, can you truly,
Mr. Luper, put a book that says, put a

16
00:02:30,540 --> 00:02:34,660
book that says you truly, Mr. Luper, put
a book that says man evolved from the

17
00:02:34,660 --> 00:02:38,000
eggs in a little hot sheep's suitcase
along with the Holy Bible?

18
00:02:38,780 --> 00:02:42,940
Good morning, Mr. Luper. I am the
station master. Good morning, Mr. Luper.

19
00:02:43,020 --> 00:02:45,280
I am the station master. Good morning,
Mr. Luper.

20
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,540
I am the station master. Good morning.

21
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,520
I am the station. Good morning, Mr.
Looper.

22
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,260
I am the station master.

23
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,760
Good morning, Mr. Looper. I am the
station master. Good morning, Mr.

24
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,960
Looper. I am the station master.

25
00:03:15,620 --> 00:03:16,620
Teddy?

26
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,200
Teddy?

27
00:03:37,929 --> 00:03:42,670
If we wanted to see the Tulsa-Luca story
as fiction, it could be told as an

28
00:03:42,670 --> 00:03:45,050
episodic narrative of a man and his
prison.

29
00:03:46,090 --> 00:03:50,430
The story starts in 1921 when Looper was
10, and perhaps it is still not

30
00:03:50,430 --> 00:03:54,510
finished. Looper was last seen and heard
of, we believe, in 1989.

31
00:03:55,290 --> 00:03:58,230
If he were to be alive now, he would be
92.

32
00:04:21,059 --> 00:04:23,620
Get a pair of knickers off the line.

33
00:04:24,020 --> 00:04:26,700
Take them to Parkingdale. It's even hard
to do.

34
00:04:41,020 --> 00:04:44,160
Don't touch me, Mrs. Warwick.

35
00:04:44,860 --> 00:04:48,060
I'm Florence. Nice and girl. Picking
flowers for the dead.

36
00:04:48,300 --> 00:04:50,320
They're not poppies, Missy Bridgestone.

37
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:51,860
The corn blowers.

38
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,700
It's to remember them. It's to remember
them. We will remember them. We will

39
00:04:56,700 --> 00:04:58,620
remember them. In the evening.

40
00:04:58,880 --> 00:04:59,880
In the evening.

41
00:04:59,900 --> 00:05:02,040
When the sun goes down. When the sun
goes down.

42
00:05:02,620 --> 00:05:03,700
When the sun sets.

43
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:04,819
In the west.

44
00:05:04,820 --> 00:05:06,160
We will remember them.

45
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,640
Always. They were trotting, Mrs. Warren.
A trotting.

46
00:05:10,100 --> 00:05:11,760
Taking back home. To England.

47
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,640
Count Luther said, so there won't be
another war ever, ever again.

48
00:05:25,740 --> 00:05:26,820
Let's go to Dippy's farm.

49
00:05:27,420 --> 00:05:28,640
Let's leave him for the Red Cross.

50
00:05:28,980 --> 00:05:30,020
He'll be along shortly.

51
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,940
We can't leave him. He'll get captured
and taken to Berlin. They'll make him

52
00:05:33,940 --> 00:05:36,040
eat black forsythia. And he'll get fat
still.

53
00:05:36,540 --> 00:05:39,460
How do you know about black forsythia?
See my father, he's going to get it.

54
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:40,720
Leave me, Charles.

55
00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:42,060
I want to be dead.

56
00:05:42,420 --> 00:05:43,420
Whatever for?

57
00:05:43,540 --> 00:05:44,700
I want to be a martyr.

58
00:05:45,060 --> 00:05:46,800
Only a grown-up cat needs to be a
martyr.

59
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:48,200
It's martyr.

60
00:05:48,260 --> 00:05:49,600
So you can't leave it to Jewish.

61
00:05:50,180 --> 00:05:51,240
Leave it to Welsh.

62
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,500
You're Jewish, David, but you've lost a
piece of your willy. Pass the Red Cross

63
00:05:55,500 --> 00:05:57,120
to find it. They'll be along shortly.

64
00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:58,960
I'm Welsh!

65
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,820
Shut up, David. Who could be
Welsh-Jewish?

66
00:06:02,060 --> 00:06:03,060
Can't he tell?

67
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,080
We're nearly there.

68
00:06:08,340 --> 00:06:10,060
I'm Dover! I'm Dover!

69
00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:11,279
Hop stand!

70
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:12,179
Hop star!

71
00:06:12,180 --> 00:06:13,680
And the Brandenburg Gate.

72
00:06:13,900 --> 00:06:15,360
And the Badenburg Cake.

73
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:17,760
I'm going to sign your name.

74
00:06:18,140 --> 00:06:23,740
Every episode recorded in Looper's life
history is associated with a prison.

75
00:06:23,980 --> 00:06:27,780
And perhaps the first significant
imprisonment Looper would have

76
00:06:27,780 --> 00:06:33,100
remembered happened on a Sunday
afternoon in August 1921 in Tulse

77
00:06:33,100 --> 00:06:36,940
Looper's birthplace, Newport, on the
River Usk in South Wales.

78
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:42,280
The events leading up to that
imprisonment started when Looper and his

79
00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:47,450
close friend, Martino Nocivelli, ran the
gauntlet of the back gardens to write

80
00:06:47,450 --> 00:06:51,030
their names on a red brick wall at the
end of their street. You shouldn't have

81
00:06:51,030 --> 00:06:52,130
such a long name, Toss.

82
00:06:52,670 --> 00:06:54,730
You'll be pricking so across before
you're finished.

83
00:06:55,270 --> 00:06:58,910
You've got to do it properly, or all the
world will see.

84
00:07:01,270 --> 00:07:03,510
And now I'm going to make the return
run.

85
00:07:04,230 --> 00:07:05,390
Tossie! Tossie!

86
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:36,080
Watch out or you'll get us caught,
Marshall. Ready, steady, go. Cut low.

87
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:40,400
I'm in.

88
00:07:43,140 --> 00:07:44,140
Pull.

89
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,020
That bloody boy's in the bloody war
again.

90
00:07:47,380 --> 00:07:48,960
Come away from the window, either.

91
00:07:49,420 --> 00:07:51,120
Showing all he's got to Mrs Warren.

92
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,340
She's athletic, she'll likely choke.

93
00:08:21,260 --> 00:08:22,800
It's a bloody garden wall.

94
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:27,660
It's a bloody garden wall. It's a bloody
garden wall. It's a bloody garden wall.

95
00:08:27,660 --> 00:08:32,120
It's a bloody garden wall. It's a bloody
garden

96
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:42,020
wall.

97
00:08:43,980 --> 00:08:47,520
You know, I'm pretty dumb. I don't agree
with you either, but let me put him up

98
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,940
again. And forget about the bloody war,
child.

99
00:08:51,340 --> 00:08:52,560
It's bloody over.

100
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:54,820
I want to bloody forget it.

101
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,900
We all want to bloody forget it.

102
00:08:58,420 --> 00:09:04,920
Misery, longing, sacrifice, grief, and

103
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:05,920
evil.

104
00:09:06,420 --> 00:09:07,880
I'll dump out the evil.

105
00:09:10,590 --> 00:09:12,110
Dump out the evil.

106
00:09:12,370 --> 00:09:14,270
Never let it happen again.

107
00:09:14,550 --> 00:09:18,570
Dump out the evil. Gone and bloody
forgotten. Dump out the evil.

108
00:09:18,890 --> 00:09:20,010
Bloody glory.

109
00:09:20,610 --> 00:09:21,830
Dump out the evil. Bloody Sunday.

110
00:09:22,510 --> 00:09:23,870
Dump out the evil. Bloody afternoon.

111
00:09:24,150 --> 00:09:26,610
Dump out the evil. Dump out the evil.

112
00:09:27,170 --> 00:09:28,430
Bloody afternoon.

113
00:09:43,630 --> 00:09:48,150
As an adult, Tuls Looper was to become
almost by default a writer.

114
00:09:48,750 --> 00:09:52,910
Maybe he was always to see himself
primarily as a naturalist. He was

115
00:09:52,910 --> 00:09:54,290
trained as an archaeologist.

116
00:09:54,650 --> 00:09:58,290
Perhaps it is important that he is
primarily seen as a collector.

117
00:09:58,910 --> 00:10:01,570
He said of himself that he was a kind of
clerk.

118
00:10:02,130 --> 00:10:06,410
He reserved a special admiration for
collectors, dictionary makers,

119
00:10:06,690 --> 00:10:11,210
encyclopedists, and those who tried very
hard to put all the things of the world

120
00:10:11,210 --> 00:10:12,270
in one place.

121
00:10:12,650 --> 00:10:13,690
under one system.

122
00:10:13,990 --> 00:10:16,030
He enjoyed making lists.

123
00:10:16,390 --> 00:10:21,790
He collected and collated and classified
names, images, events, experiences,

124
00:10:22,210 --> 00:10:26,450
characters, people, prisons, suitcases,
lumps of coal.

125
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:48,680
We could say that there were 92 lumps of
Welsh black gold in Lupo's first bag

126
00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:53,700
suitcase. Each lump of coal,
representing by its silhouette, surface,

127
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:58,660
or texture, a hill or mountain, to be
experienced later in Lupo's life.

128
00:10:59,900 --> 00:11:01,400
What are you doing in there, Kelty?

129
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,200
Go away, bloody busy.

130
00:11:06,460 --> 00:11:11,260
Lupo was not a mountaineer, and we
probably exaggerate the mountain aspect.

131
00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:13,140
Let us just say...

132
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,640
that each lump of coal, substance of his
father's earnings, his parental

133
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:23,360
community, his childhood mythology, was
a symbolic landscape he was later to

134
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,440
find as a traveler somewhere in the
world.

135
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:32,240
His collection of landscapes start with
the hills he climbed when he was a boy

136
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:37,420
along the River Usk, and they progress
in his first trip abroad to the desert

137
00:11:37,420 --> 00:11:40,120
mesas of Moab, Utah, U.S. of A.

138
00:11:53,790 --> 00:11:56,530
You weigh a bloody ton, Fatty Arbuckle.

139
00:11:57,510 --> 00:11:58,670
I brought my sweetheart.

140
00:12:04,850 --> 00:12:06,290
Find me Tiger Lily.

141
00:12:16,590 --> 00:12:17,930
Mine's got no clothes on.

142
00:12:18,310 --> 00:12:19,850
Only because he's going for a swim.

143
00:12:20,210 --> 00:12:21,670
Too cold to swim in Denmark.

144
00:12:23,310 --> 00:12:26,470
You live so far away, you'll never meet
her.

145
00:12:26,950 --> 00:12:28,990
Tiger Lily is the daughter of a
magician.

146
00:12:29,210 --> 00:12:33,390
She wears shoes on stealth. She smiles a
lot. That's because she's Chinese and

147
00:12:33,390 --> 00:12:38,270
inscrutable. The reason mine doesn't
wear a bathing suit is because she's

148
00:12:38,270 --> 00:12:39,270
half fish.

149
00:12:39,770 --> 00:12:40,910
She looks like your mother.

150
00:12:41,170 --> 00:12:42,290
I quite like your mother.

151
00:12:43,370 --> 00:12:44,530
She's got big breasts.

152
00:12:46,610 --> 00:12:50,070
What are you going to be later on,
Loopy, if you grow up?

153
00:12:54,819 --> 00:12:56,880
Not a coal miner.

154
00:12:57,380 --> 00:12:58,380
Not a soldier.

155
00:12:59,060 --> 00:13:00,060
I'll go abroad.

156
00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:02,420
I'll stay at home and eat ice creams.

157
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,720
And watch you do things from a distance.

158
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,460
You can send me postcards.

159
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:08,800
I want to find things.

160
00:13:09,300 --> 00:13:10,300
What sort of things?

161
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,260
Things people have lost.

162
00:13:13,340 --> 00:13:14,340
Like what?

163
00:13:14,580 --> 00:13:18,060
Suitcases. You want to work in a lost
property office? Lost cities.

164
00:13:18,940 --> 00:13:20,420
People. Men. Women.

165
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:21,880
Women.

166
00:13:22,110 --> 00:13:24,450
I want to kiss lots of girls. So do I.

167
00:13:25,030 --> 00:13:27,910
So do I. Plump girls who eat lots of ice
cream.

168
00:13:28,190 --> 00:13:29,190
You'll end up in jail.

169
00:13:29,430 --> 00:13:30,430
Like this one.

170
00:13:30,470 --> 00:13:31,470
Is this a jail?

171
00:13:32,070 --> 00:13:33,670
I expect there'll be lots of jails.

172
00:13:35,910 --> 00:13:37,290
Do you like being a prisoner, then?

173
00:13:37,550 --> 00:13:39,930
My father's a prisoner. No, he's not.

174
00:13:40,410 --> 00:13:41,410
The things he remembers.

175
00:13:41,610 --> 00:13:42,610
The bad things.

176
00:13:42,790 --> 00:13:44,210
You mean the gas?

177
00:13:44,810 --> 00:13:45,830
And being in love?

178
00:13:46,110 --> 00:13:47,110
With your mother?

179
00:13:47,490 --> 00:13:48,670
Is that being a prisoner?

180
00:13:49,270 --> 00:13:50,270
Sort of.

181
00:13:56,330 --> 00:13:58,530
What sort of chin have you got, Luppy?

182
00:14:00,070 --> 00:14:01,070
Average.

183
00:14:07,570 --> 00:14:10,770
What sort of eyes have you got, Luppy?

184
00:14:11,970 --> 00:14:13,070
Pretty hell, Marty.

185
00:14:13,350 --> 00:14:14,470
The normal sort.

186
00:14:15,110 --> 00:14:16,410
I need to get it right.

187
00:14:17,970 --> 00:14:19,050
I need to remember.

188
00:14:21,070 --> 00:14:23,850
I'll make sure you grow broad and kiss
lots of girls.

189
00:14:24,470 --> 00:14:25,470
Like your mother.

190
00:14:26,890 --> 00:14:30,310
And as a course, you don't have to kiss,
but I might kiss you.

191
00:14:30,610 --> 00:14:32,530
Who are you bloody talking to in there,
Tuckery?

192
00:14:32,950 --> 00:14:34,410
And find things, of course.

193
00:14:34,790 --> 00:14:35,930
And be a prisoner.

194
00:14:36,730 --> 00:14:38,350
If you really want to.

195
00:14:39,310 --> 00:14:40,310
Thank you, Marty.

196
00:14:40,450 --> 00:14:41,409
No problem.

197
00:14:41,410 --> 00:14:42,530
Think nothing of it.

198
00:14:43,250 --> 00:14:44,370
I owe it to you.

199
00:14:44,990 --> 00:14:45,990
Consider him.

200
00:14:46,230 --> 00:14:49,290
If you're talking to yourself, that's
the first sign of trench fever.

201
00:14:49,610 --> 00:14:50,870
Bloody Nockevelly.

202
00:14:51,510 --> 00:14:53,630
The eye dyes a fair weather allies.

203
00:14:53,970 --> 00:14:56,090
The eye dyes a fair weather allies. Get
out, Martino.

204
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:57,559
Get out, Pat.

205
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,320
Tell him. He's in solitary.

206
00:14:59,540 --> 00:15:00,259
He's in solitary.

207
00:15:00,260 --> 00:15:02,120
And you boys can both forget the bloody
war.

208
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:03,420
It's bloody over.

209
00:15:03,780 --> 00:15:06,840
I want to bloody forget it. We all want
to bloody forget it.

210
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,500
Gone and bloody forgotten.

211
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:15,440
On a bloody glorious, bloody Sunday,
bloody afternoon.

212
00:15:18,740 --> 00:15:19,539
Go on.

213
00:15:19,540 --> 00:15:20,540
Get out of here.

214
00:15:26,700 --> 00:15:27,700
I'm in prison.

215
00:15:27,860 --> 00:15:30,560
And I'm bloody busy.

216
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:32,900
I'm in prison.

217
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,780
And I'm bloody busy.

218
00:15:44,420 --> 00:15:46,240
What's friendship for, Martino?

219
00:15:46,580 --> 00:15:48,260
You wanted to share the punishment?

220
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,480
You feeling guilty too, Martino
Nocabelli?

221
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:13,760
Okay.

222
00:17:14,980 --> 00:17:17,339
Just eat the ice cream.

223
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:21,819
Go on, lick it.

224
00:17:22,700 --> 00:17:24,300
What are we supposed to be doing?

225
00:17:24,540 --> 00:17:25,680
Is this character building?

226
00:17:25,940 --> 00:17:27,160
No, it's nothing.

227
00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:32,860
Lick, lick, lick.

228
00:17:34,140 --> 00:17:38,960
Come on, lick, damn it. Stick your
little tongues out and lick the stuff

229
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:39,960
off, you assholes.

230
00:17:40,460 --> 00:17:41,660
Hey, what's your language?

231
00:17:43,450 --> 00:17:45,890
Is this provocation so necessary?

232
00:17:46,170 --> 00:17:49,810
No! Your cock is creak. Who are you
calling a creep, jerk?

233
00:17:51,950 --> 00:17:52,950
Shut up!

234
00:17:54,230 --> 00:17:57,950
Rip the stuff up. Stick the cone on your
prick.

235
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,060
Tulse Looper, with his friend and
associate Martina Nockevelli, went to

236
00:18:12,060 --> 00:18:15,780
Utah to look for lost Mormon cities in
the deserts around Salt Lake City.

237
00:18:16,580 --> 00:18:21,120
Looper was fascinated by the newest and
most successful religion of the West and

238
00:18:21,120 --> 00:18:24,320
how the Mormon settlers had grafted new
mythologies onto the old.

239
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:29,520
His experiences in the Moab Desert
influenced his concerns for landscape

240
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,700
exploitation. He began to consider two
projects.

241
00:18:33,390 --> 00:18:38,150
The first had the very simple idea of
recording verticals in a landscape in a

242
00:18:38,150 --> 00:18:42,070
way that showed the grid systems they
suggested and demonstrated the

243
00:18:42,070 --> 00:18:44,130
intervention of man on the natural
environment.

244
00:18:44,470 --> 00:18:46,990
He called the project Vertical Features.

245
00:18:47,410 --> 00:18:51,630
The photographic and filmic evidence he
collected and edited back in Europe on

246
00:18:51,630 --> 00:18:57,810
the project was damaged or lost in the
1950s, only to be remade in the 1970s by

247
00:18:57,810 --> 00:19:03,400
admirers as a contentiously argued set
of films called Vertical Features Remake

248
00:19:32,750 --> 00:19:37,550
The second project influenced by
Looper's stay in Moab concerned a fake

249
00:19:37,550 --> 00:19:42,010
anthropological fiction, a saga that
documented the gradual invasion of a

250
00:19:42,010 --> 00:19:46,790
section of peaceful riverside landscape
by ferocious predatory colonists.

251
00:19:50,350 --> 00:19:57,290
Perhaps Looper saw his friend Nakaveli
as the natural inhabitant

252
00:19:57,290 --> 00:19:59,350
of peaceful water, some sort of...

253
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,340
indigenous minor river deity.

254
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,620
And the threat of the predatory bacillus
to his person could be compared to the

255
00:20:05,620 --> 00:20:08,980
aggression of a conquering army of
dangerous enemies on a peaceful

256
00:20:08,980 --> 00:20:13,440
community. The substance of the film,
later made from Looper's research in the

257
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:19,120
1960s, called Water Rackets. It's quite
unselected about which body you're

258
00:20:19,120 --> 00:20:20,120
supposed to choose from.

259
00:20:20,460 --> 00:20:23,600
Machiavelli, indeed, on his own
admission, is supposed to have bathed in

260
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,160
a Moab desert stream and contacted a
form of permanent history.

261
00:20:27,830 --> 00:20:31,110
though it's difficult to find any such
stream whatsoever in the Moab Desert,

262
00:20:31,290 --> 00:20:35,550
and the effects of the dysentery were
often auspiciously timed to offer an

263
00:20:35,550 --> 00:20:40,110
excuse for Nocabelli's sudden absence in
situations that he found inconvenient,

264
00:20:40,430 --> 00:20:42,990
unsympathetic, embarrassing, or simply
hostile.

265
00:20:44,190 --> 00:20:49,090
The year of Looper's visit to the Moab
Desert was 1934, and maybe both

266
00:20:49,090 --> 00:20:53,550
projects, Vertical Features and Water
Rackets, suggested a presage of what was

267
00:20:53,550 --> 00:20:57,170
to come in Europe, and also of what was
to come in Looper's own life.

268
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:02,340
The day that this 16mm footage was
filmed was to be a Looper day of

269
00:21:02,340 --> 00:21:03,340
reckoning.

270
00:21:19,540 --> 00:21:23,040
Looper prized a collection of love
letters written by his father to his

271
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,980
mother from the battlefields of Flanders
in the First World War.

272
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,340
These letters soon became a collective
item. They changed hands at ever

273
00:21:30,340 --> 00:21:31,340
-increasing prices.

274
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,260
The first sale was made illicitly in
Oslo.

275
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:48,680
What's your name?

276
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,800
What's your name? Mr. Peeper. Mr.

277
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:52,040
Peeper. Peeper.

278
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:54,040
Toth Looper.

279
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,360
Where are you from, Mr. Toth Henry
Purcell Looper?

280
00:21:57,100 --> 00:22:00,360
Where are you from, Mr. Toth Henry
Purcell Looper?

281
00:22:01,180 --> 00:22:02,480
England. England?

282
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:04,080
England?

283
00:22:04,500 --> 00:22:05,500
So, Mr.

284
00:22:06,980 --> 00:22:10,740
Toth Purcell Looper, you don't wear
makeup, do you?

285
00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:16,460
What the hell are you doing so far, far,
far from home? What the hell are you

286
00:22:16,460 --> 00:22:20,000
doing so far, far, far from home in our
happy community?

287
00:22:20,500 --> 00:22:23,680
God-fearing, God-loving, God-happy
community.

288
00:22:28,780 --> 00:22:33,280
This is the Hockmeister Ranch House in
the desert outside Moab in the summer of

289
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:40,180
2002. It was here in May 1934, some 60
years earlier, that Looper began his

290
00:22:40,180 --> 00:22:42,580
series of adventures with the
Hockmeister family.

291
00:23:33,260 --> 00:23:37,640
Much of what we know about Lupus'
adventures in Moab comes from Martino

292
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:43,140
Nocavelli. And Martino's idea of the
desert, any desert, was literary.

293
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:48,960
It started with Egypt, and therefore
meant pyramids, palm trees, and the

294
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,180
fringes of the Sahara.

295
00:23:50,660 --> 00:23:55,680
And he had certainly seen pictures of
Mexico, and dreamed of Spanish-style

296
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,080
haciendas, surrounded by flowering
cactus and olive trees.

297
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:05,160
Martino pieced together his accumulated
desert knowledge and came up with a

298
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:10,380
mixture of Luxor and Mexico, influenced
by reproductions of the

299
00:24:10,380 --> 00:24:15,320
characteristically over-colored Maxfield
parish calendar illustrations on his

300
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:16,920
grandmother's bathroom wall.

301
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,420
Don't you have women of your own at
home?

302
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,380
Well, there are some, it's true.

303
00:24:23,700 --> 00:24:27,640
So what would you be looking at here on
private property?

304
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,520
I could have a friend who tries to keep
himself very clean, and I could be doing

305
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:39,480
some research about the bathing habits
of the indigenous peoples of Utah.

306
00:24:41,620 --> 00:24:46,220
Leupold, therefore, walked out of the
desert, leading his white horse down a

307
00:24:46,220 --> 00:24:48,520
dry gulch, fringed by date bombs.

308
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,260
Not exactly a Salt Lake City image, but
so what?

309
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,960
Joseph Smith himself could have been
happy with such accumulated imagery.

310
00:24:57,580 --> 00:25:03,660
It was, after all, not so very far from
the melange of biblical dreams that he

311
00:25:03,660 --> 00:25:06,920
had invented for his newly minted
religion.

312
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,540
You wouldn't be looking for a child
bride, would you?

313
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:16,240
Apple tit, hidey plant, a dimple pink
fanny for a private bedroom spanking.

314
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:17,460
Shut up, you dirty mouth.

315
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:18,920
Why's that, Delky?

316
00:25:19,500 --> 00:25:23,680
Can't you remember those hurdy-gurdy
Nicolette days? Oh, my God, he is

317
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,280
larking up for a showdown.

318
00:25:25,770 --> 00:25:29,550
Tell him, Julian, tell him to douse his
head, preferably in broken glass.

319
00:25:30,070 --> 00:25:31,090
Naughty, naughty, naughty.

320
00:25:31,290 --> 00:25:32,870
I'd be looking for lost cities.

321
00:25:33,190 --> 00:25:36,950
We haven't lost any. How come you want
to find what we haven't lost?

322
00:25:37,250 --> 00:25:41,430
You see, I think you're just pooping and
snooping. With a pair of first-class

323
00:25:41,430 --> 00:25:44,570
quality glass binoculars.

324
00:25:45,490 --> 00:25:50,450
Made in Germany. I bought a map in Salt
Lake City, which marks out several lost

325
00:25:50,450 --> 00:25:53,890
Mormon outpost towns between Moab and
Salt Lake.

326
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:55,320
God-awful places.

327
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:56,840
Hostile Indians.

328
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:58,080
No water.

329
00:25:58,200 --> 00:25:59,200
Scorpions.

330
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:00,520
Metallic rocks.

331
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,320
Hot as hell.

332
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,540
They were, after several years,
abandoned.

333
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,040
You a claim jumper?

334
00:26:06,300 --> 00:26:10,720
Hell, he's just a peeping Tom snake,
wanting to exercise his prick, looking

335
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,000
at other men's women washing their
pretty bodies.

336
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,600
You're from England, yes?

337
00:26:15,940 --> 00:26:17,940
You got trouble brewing there in
England.

338
00:26:18,620 --> 00:26:22,140
I'd like to know, you see, because our
people are from Germany.

339
00:26:23,310 --> 00:26:27,970
And I think your people and my people
aren't seeing eye to eye at the moment.

340
00:26:28,230 --> 00:26:29,230
Isn't that true?

341
00:26:29,290 --> 00:26:31,430
Could be. I think it sure is true.

342
00:26:32,810 --> 00:26:38,570
If you should have real trouble, would
England win, Mr. Loopy?

343
00:26:38,870 --> 00:26:42,950
Well, it'd be one last time. We could do
it again. You think so?

344
00:26:43,250 --> 00:26:45,990
And what would your position be, Mr.
Loopy?

345
00:26:46,310 --> 00:26:47,310
I'd fight.

346
00:26:47,590 --> 00:26:48,590
You would.

347
00:26:48,870 --> 00:26:49,870
Why is that?

348
00:26:50,150 --> 00:26:51,150
Why?

349
00:26:51,630 --> 00:26:53,130
To stamp out evil, of course.

350
00:26:54,010 --> 00:26:55,250
Stamp out evil.

351
00:26:55,810 --> 00:26:57,450
Stamp out.

352
00:26:58,130 --> 00:27:00,370
That sounds aggressive, Mr. Roper.

353
00:27:00,570 --> 00:27:05,650
As a God-fearing community, I'm sure you
would understand very easily what I

354
00:27:05,650 --> 00:27:06,650
mean.

355
00:27:07,390 --> 00:27:08,770
I doubt you'd fight.

356
00:27:11,870 --> 00:27:13,850
I doubt you'd fight at all.

357
00:27:16,630 --> 00:27:17,830
See you, uh...

358
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:22,520
You look and sound really, really,
really green to me, Mr.

359
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:24,300
Tulsi Looper.

360
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:31,960
So green, I don't know why you're
exercising your prick time looking at

361
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:37,420
women washing themselves in private in
our beautiful American Mormon desert of

362
00:27:37,420 --> 00:27:43,820
Salt Lake City, Utah, America, USA,

363
00:27:44,260 --> 00:27:45,400
the universe.

364
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:50,680
You know what?

365
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,720
I doubt you even have a prick to
exercise.

366
00:27:58,180 --> 00:27:59,180
Let's take a look.

367
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:02,700
For God's sake, Percy.

368
00:28:03,100 --> 00:28:04,360
I told you, do it.

369
00:28:04,980 --> 00:28:06,420
We're having our breakfast.

370
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:07,780
Jesus Christ, Percy.

371
00:28:08,260 --> 00:28:11,720
Don't you worry that there are here
ladies present. This seems plenty.

372
00:28:12,420 --> 00:28:16,160
We're all here, I got the necessary. How
could you possibly interest us?

373
00:28:24,300 --> 00:28:25,660
You got one, Mr. Luther?

374
00:28:26,300 --> 00:28:28,340
An English prick, isn't that sweet?

375
00:28:28,660 --> 00:28:30,460
We could make it sweeter.

376
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:42,380
A nice, sticky deck for the flies,

377
00:28:42,700 --> 00:28:49,520
the bees, the bugs, the ticks, and the
mosquitoes of the American

378
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,560
Colorado desert, Utah, USA.

379
00:28:55,690 --> 00:29:01,190
At the Ventimiglia railway station on
the French-Italian border, 23rd of

380
00:29:01,190 --> 00:29:05,830
August 1941, an incident occurred that
was scarcely reported but of

381
00:29:05,830 --> 00:29:08,330
significance in a bizarre statistical
event.

382
00:29:08,710 --> 00:29:12,350
The station was an important border
crossing for international political

383
00:29:12,350 --> 00:29:16,830
activity and the clandestine illegal
movement of refugees and deserters.

384
00:29:17,150 --> 00:29:22,220
Amidst the busy activity between the
Rome-bound 1515 Express and the Venice

385
00:29:22,220 --> 00:29:27,880
-bound 1537 slow train, a young man and
a young woman, both without passports,

386
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:28,819
were arrested.

387
00:29:28,820 --> 00:29:30,420
They were told to strip.

388
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:31,860
There were gunshots.

389
00:29:38,740 --> 00:29:41,080
The body of the young woman was abused.

390
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,940
The clothing of the lover was later
collected in two matching suitcases.

391
00:29:46,900 --> 00:29:49,100
Can it be entirely coincidental?

392
00:29:49,550 --> 00:29:54,010
that 17 people who witnessed the
shooting died violently within three

393
00:29:54,010 --> 00:29:58,450
months of the event, an incident totally
unassociated with the station execution.

394
00:30:03,770 --> 00:30:06,110
Well, Mr. English Looper.

395
00:30:09,770 --> 00:30:11,170
How do you like American?

396
00:30:12,210 --> 00:30:13,210
Enough.

397
00:30:15,930 --> 00:30:17,890
How do you like German-Americans?

398
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:20,500
I haven't met too many.

399
00:30:21,060 --> 00:30:24,480
They would have to open their mouths for
me to recognize them by their accent.

400
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,080
Well, you seem to like German-American
women.

401
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,640
When you said you were looking for ghost
towns, were you telling the truth?

402
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:48,080
You weren't looking for anything else,
were you, Mr. Looper?

403
00:30:49,740 --> 00:30:54,540
You said you were interested in Sodom
and Gomorrah.

404
00:30:55,140 --> 00:30:59,260
That wouldn't be a coded interest in
Finn, would it, Mr. Looper?

405
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:06,120
You know, women, luxury, greed,

406
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:13,140
minerals, gold. You weren't interested
in gold or anything

407
00:31:13,140 --> 00:31:14,880
like that, were you, Mr. Looper?

408
00:31:17,100 --> 00:31:18,220
In these hills.

409
00:31:21,019 --> 00:31:22,300
this desert.

410
00:31:22,740 --> 00:31:23,740
No.

411
00:31:25,540 --> 00:31:31,700
Have you heard, Mr. Looper,

412
00:31:31,860 --> 00:31:33,260
of the uranium?

413
00:31:36,020 --> 00:31:37,020
Yes.

414
00:31:39,820 --> 00:31:43,780
You weren't looking for uranium, were
you, Mr. Looper?

415
00:31:45,260 --> 00:31:46,260
Were you?

416
00:31:48,620 --> 00:31:49,950
Mr. the looper.

417
00:31:51,510 --> 00:31:52,830
Around here.

418
00:31:53,430 --> 00:31:55,090
Around Moab.

419
00:31:59,830 --> 00:32:00,830
Uranium.

420
00:32:02,370 --> 00:32:04,350
Atomic number 92.

421
00:32:06,430 --> 00:32:10,790
Unobtainable in pure form, but a
geologist knows where to look.

422
00:32:12,210 --> 00:32:13,890
Symbol the big U.

423
00:32:14,730 --> 00:32:16,590
U for useful.

424
00:32:17,870 --> 00:32:23,010
Utah, United States of America, and

425
00:32:23,010 --> 00:32:25,490
utopia.

426
00:32:29,130 --> 00:32:35,870
Uranium smells nicely dirty, like

427
00:32:35,870 --> 00:32:40,730
semen. Tastes nicely greasy, like blood.

428
00:32:42,670 --> 00:32:44,490
Powerful metaphors, eh?

429
00:32:46,860 --> 00:32:47,860
Have you seen any?

430
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:51,520
Smelled any?

431
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:55,640
Tasted any?

432
00:33:00,140 --> 00:33:04,880
If you were to be interested, I could
patronize you. I could patronize you.

433
00:33:05,060 --> 00:33:08,200
I'm the way to subsidize your searching.
I'm the way to subsidize your searching.

434
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:09,200
We could buy you a decent hat.

435
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,240
Feed you up. We could buy you a decent
hat.

436
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,340
I'd like to see a decent belly on the
man.

437
00:33:16,460 --> 00:33:19,200
You know, like he's just three months
pregnant.

438
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:24,280
Centers him.

439
00:33:25,500 --> 00:33:27,440
Gives him gravity.

440
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:29,960
Sets off what could hang beneath.

441
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,200
How would you like that?

442
00:33:51,980 --> 00:33:54,440
You're not a great talker, are you, Mr.
Looper?

443
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,640
The sun is in my eyes.

444
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:04,480
The insects are biting. I am not a
geologist, and my trousers are around my

445
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:05,480
ankles.

446
00:34:06,660 --> 00:34:07,860
Yes, you're right.

447
00:34:09,260 --> 00:34:10,860
We're bad hosts.

448
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,960
It's not a characteristic among Mormons.

449
00:34:22,989 --> 00:34:29,210
kept you long enough from your important
investigations into the ghost towns

450
00:34:29,210 --> 00:34:32,670
of Mormon inheritance.

451
00:34:38,389 --> 00:34:40,290
Feel free to go, Mr. Looper.

452
00:34:42,489 --> 00:34:43,550
Feel free.

453
00:35:23,630 --> 00:35:26,510
It's a long way and almost any direction
from here.

454
00:35:28,390 --> 00:35:30,270
I could give you a lift.

455
00:35:33,270 --> 00:35:37,670
Suit yourself, but I don't think you're
going to get anywhere special much

456
00:35:37,670 --> 00:35:41,010
before it gets really black, dark night.

457
00:35:44,850 --> 00:35:45,850
Heathstroke.

458
00:35:47,610 --> 00:35:50,890
Many foreigners suffer from Heathstroke.

459
00:35:51,630 --> 00:35:52,730
No hat.

460
00:35:56,400 --> 00:36:02,920
They say there are animals still up
there with bad teeth, bad breath,

461
00:36:03,220 --> 00:36:04,840
and bad manners.

462
00:36:07,340 --> 00:36:13,400
You can tread on some curly creature
warming itself angry under the hot sun.

463
00:36:16,260 --> 00:36:18,360
It can get cold at midnight.

464
00:36:19,460 --> 00:36:21,040
Snowy cold, you know.

465
00:36:21,340 --> 00:36:22,380
Shivery cold.

466
00:36:23,860 --> 00:36:25,660
We're not wearing much.

467
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:27,520
As we all know this.

468
00:36:28,420 --> 00:36:30,960
You've caused me more than enough
trouble already.

469
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:33,160
You think so?

470
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,580
You smell kind of sugary.

471
00:36:42,340 --> 00:36:46,440
What does it feel to have all that
sticking between your legs?

472
00:36:48,300 --> 00:36:51,500
You better not mark my father's car seat
with your sweetness.

473
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:53,760
Father?

474
00:36:54,670 --> 00:36:55,730
I'll leave you guessing.

475
00:36:57,130 --> 00:36:59,470
You'd better sit on something.

476
00:37:01,110 --> 00:37:02,850
How about your shirt?

477
00:38:05,550 --> 00:38:07,150
Good morning, Miss Hartmeister.

478
00:38:07,830 --> 00:38:11,790
Get out of the car, sir. We're arresting
you for sexually consorting with a

479
00:38:11,790 --> 00:38:16,470
minor. That is not true at all. What?
That you are not sexually consorting or

480
00:38:16,470 --> 00:38:17,530
that she is not a minor?

481
00:38:23,250 --> 00:38:26,010
We have evidence.

482
00:38:26,490 --> 00:38:27,710
Or are these yours, sir?

483
00:38:29,090 --> 00:38:32,610
Then I presume this belongs to you,
Batchanar Meister? Yes, indeed.

484
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,020
I think they may be mad.

485
00:38:35,300 --> 00:38:39,980
Oh, mister, I would rather be walking on
the moon than be in your shoes.

486
00:38:40,500 --> 00:38:44,280
Perhaps he's already been walking on the
moon, Tartar Stringley.

487
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,880
At the time of Hitler's visit to Rome in
May 1938,

488
00:38:59,920 --> 00:39:04,900
A postcard correspondence reconstructed
in 1987 revealed the existence of a

489
00:39:04,900 --> 00:39:08,560
Vatican archive of censored material in
the cellars of the Victor Emmanuel

490
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:13,540
building. Three German officers in
charge of security discovered a suitcase

491
00:39:13,540 --> 00:39:17,800
of pornographic items over which,
apparently, there was an argument in

492
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,380
which an Italian soldier was killed.

493
00:39:20,140 --> 00:39:25,080
An inquiry was ordered, but the suitcase
with its contents disappeared to be

494
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:28,900
rediscovered in the Victor Emmanuel
building in the mid-1980s.

495
00:39:29,180 --> 00:39:33,240
During the making of a film called The
Belly of an Architect, whose original

496
00:39:33,240 --> 00:39:39,100
scenario about architectural fascism had
been written by Luper in 1945, at the

497
00:39:39,100 --> 00:39:40,660
time of his imprisonment in Rome.

498
00:40:11,370 --> 00:40:14,670
Perhaps Luper was, and could be still, a
natural prisoner.

499
00:40:15,130 --> 00:40:16,550
He once said so himself.

500
00:40:16,790 --> 00:40:20,250
He suggested that there might be
something in his makeup that always

501
00:40:20,250 --> 00:40:21,870
predisposed him to be a prisoner.

502
00:40:22,250 --> 00:40:24,010
But then he said, was that so unusual?

503
00:40:29,470 --> 00:40:34,350
Luper got to know and recognize a great
many people who were all prisoners of

504
00:40:34,350 --> 00:40:37,830
one thing or another. Memory, time,
nostalgia, place.

505
00:40:39,980 --> 00:40:42,000
A relationship, an obsession,

506
00:40:43,220 --> 00:40:44,220
money, sex.

507
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:51,400
He suggested that everyone has a jailer.
It was not a boast or a criticism or a

508
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:55,380
compensatory remark by a man whose
prison was for the most part very self

509
00:40:55,380 --> 00:40:56,380
-evidently physical.

510
00:40:56,580 --> 00:40:57,660
It was a given.

511
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:02,640
For Looper, it was so self-evident, it
was hardly even a fact.

512
00:41:02,940 --> 00:41:05,180
Facts become fixed because they are
noted.

513
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,520
Being a prisoner is such an everyday
state of affairs.

514
00:41:09,050 --> 00:41:10,210
It's not even noted.

515
00:41:10,510 --> 00:41:12,870
We're trespassing your fine one dollar.

516
00:41:19,550 --> 00:41:24,550
Looper once said that if being a
prisoner was the human condition, then

517
00:41:24,550 --> 00:41:26,190
he had better get used to it.

518
00:41:26,690 --> 00:41:27,690
Use it.

519
00:41:27,930 --> 00:41:29,590
Make something of it.

520
00:41:30,030 --> 00:41:34,810
Looper was interested in making being a
prisoner an art.

521
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:39,620
And now for the serious charge.

522
00:41:40,060 --> 00:41:41,060
What's that?

523
00:41:41,460 --> 00:41:42,460
Warriorism.

524
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:44,620
Is that a special Mormon crime?

525
00:41:45,020 --> 00:41:46,020
Could be.

526
00:41:46,340 --> 00:41:49,560
It's like theft with the eyes heated up
by sex.

527
00:41:50,340 --> 00:41:52,120
And is your passport in order?

528
00:42:26,030 --> 00:42:27,030
No bail.

529
00:42:27,530 --> 00:42:28,530
No bail?

530
00:42:28,730 --> 00:42:29,730
No bail.

531
00:42:31,150 --> 00:42:33,850
Just think, where would you eat and
sleep tonight?

532
00:42:47,570 --> 00:42:48,570
It's okay.

533
00:42:49,450 --> 00:42:52,250
We might live in the desert, but God
gave us water.

534
00:42:52,530 --> 00:42:55,230
We are always liberal with water.

535
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:57,820
Is there anything else in there?

536
00:42:58,460 --> 00:42:59,480
A fish.

537
00:43:01,100 --> 00:43:02,280
What sort of fish?

538
00:43:02,700 --> 00:43:03,940
For tonight's supper.

539
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,080
No, they're not drowning, just taking a
bath.

540
00:43:18,580 --> 00:43:22,040
A white, smoky trout with scouse.

541
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:24,400
What's that?

542
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:31,650
Peas mash with... Red peppers, a little
dewy cabbage, and a splinch of gut-rot

543
00:43:31,650 --> 00:43:32,870
whiskey to make it tart.

544
00:43:41,410 --> 00:43:46,630
Moth Fender had a way with fish, not so
common 1,000 miles from the sea in a

545
00:43:46,630 --> 00:43:47,630
riverless desert.

546
00:43:47,870 --> 00:43:53,110
In her youth, Moth Fender had had a
reputation as the insect woman, the

547
00:43:53,110 --> 00:43:54,870
devout Mormon lady with the bugs.

548
00:43:55,790 --> 00:43:59,190
She was no frightened victim of the
seventh plague of Egypt.

549
00:43:59,830 --> 00:44:01,730
Now she had a reputation to pit.

550
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:01,860
The Mormon elders came across the
Atlantic in a submarine from Palestine.

551
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:05,880
Joseph Smith set them up in Kentucky.

552
00:45:07,220 --> 00:45:10,920
Then eventually Brigham Young brought
them west, leaving the sea far behind

553
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:11,920
them.

554
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,180
And they arrived at Salt Lake City.

555
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:22,160
Because the lake was so big and so
salty, they believed they'd hit the sea

556
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:23,160
again.

557
00:45:24,490 --> 00:45:28,070
It always wanted to remake Palestine in
the Holy Land.

558
00:45:29,590 --> 00:45:33,950
You know, a new Judea by the sea, U.S.
of A.

559
00:45:39,530 --> 00:45:44,790
They believed that they had the right
sort of landscape here to do it in.

560
00:45:46,170 --> 00:45:48,830
Sense of landscape is very important to
Mormons.

561
00:45:50,730 --> 00:45:53,790
So they built some handsome cities in
the desert.

562
00:45:56,830 --> 00:45:58,250
Most of them have vanished now.

563
00:46:00,970 --> 00:46:04,470
For a long time ago.

564
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:22,520
Where did he get that from?

565
00:46:23,720 --> 00:46:24,720
From my mother.

566
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:27,280
And her mother before her.

567
00:46:29,860 --> 00:46:34,440
You know, none of us fenders and
hollises have ever seen the sea.

568
00:46:36,240 --> 00:46:37,240
What's it like?

569
00:46:37,820 --> 00:46:38,820
You seen it?

570
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:44,560
If I had something to draw with, I could
show you.

571
00:46:47,790 --> 00:46:51,810
With Looper's arrival, Ma Fender came up
with three ideas in one.

572
00:46:52,650 --> 00:46:56,030
Certainly, learn about the world's
water. That was a straightforward

573
00:46:56,030 --> 00:46:57,030
desire.

574
00:46:57,650 --> 00:47:02,070
Pleased a foreigner who looked like the
angel Moroni, and who knows, pleased the

575
00:47:02,070 --> 00:47:03,070
angel Moroni himself.

576
00:47:03,830 --> 00:47:08,990
And delight in her long-lost,
much-maligned prodigy, Ruby Hockmeister.

577
00:47:10,050 --> 00:47:14,510
Ma Fender took a suitcase out from under
her bed and made a grand presentation.

578
00:47:15,950 --> 00:47:20,010
Looper was certainly up to the task of
making a homage to Ma Fender's three

579
00:47:20,010 --> 00:47:23,110
ideas all at the same time. They
belonged to Ruby.

580
00:47:23,970 --> 00:47:25,110
She was a drawer.

581
00:47:25,330 --> 00:47:26,330
Never stopped.

582
00:47:27,530 --> 00:47:29,090
Percy burnt all her drawings.

583
00:47:32,370 --> 00:47:35,830
Seven-tenths of the Earth's surface is
sea.

584
00:47:36,810 --> 00:47:39,750
Nine-tenths of the human body is water.

585
00:47:40,370 --> 00:47:42,230
We're all born in amniotic fluid.

586
00:47:43,340 --> 00:47:49,000
To accompany our highest emotions when
we laugh and we cry our eyes water

587
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:53,520
You would have thought the most
intelligent animal on the planet ought

588
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:59,680
to be a fish There's a theory that apes
learn to swim and since you don't need

589
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:05,560
body hair in water too much drag Early
man came up out of the water a million

590
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:12,380
years later having lost its body hair
Joseph Smith said much the same

591
00:48:13,230 --> 00:48:14,530
The original baptism.

592
00:48:17,150 --> 00:48:21,270
There was a time when Luper compared
himself to the snail.

593
00:48:22,070 --> 00:48:24,470
Snails are remarkably self-reliant.

594
00:48:24,750 --> 00:48:26,410
Luper studied snails.

595
00:48:26,830 --> 00:48:33,750
The snail is hermaphrodite, carrying its
own house, its own suitcase, its own

596
00:48:33,750 --> 00:48:37,990
prison. It was prepared to live
anywhere, almost.

597
00:48:38,710 --> 00:48:41,270
The environment has to be just a little
damp.

598
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,820
Not too bright, not too much sunlight.

599
00:48:45,620 --> 00:48:47,140
Snail-like moonlight.

600
00:48:48,260 --> 00:48:49,620
Ideal prison condition.

601
00:48:50,900 --> 00:48:55,120
Looper dreamt up a project where the
snail was acknowledged as the catalyst

602
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:59,620
of the world, breaking down the world's
unwanted material, making itself

603
00:48:59,620 --> 00:49:04,540
responsible for cleaning up the planet.
This material was later incorporated in

604
00:49:04,540 --> 00:49:08,000
the 1980s in a film called A Zed and Two
Morts.

605
00:49:08,750 --> 00:49:13,130
But Looper also had to concede that the
snail was the ultimate bourgeois.

606
00:49:13,670 --> 00:49:17,290
Always living at home, but living at
home anywhere.

607
00:49:18,290 --> 00:49:23,710
Since he did not have a home for any
great length of time, Looper's home and

608
00:49:23,710 --> 00:49:25,470
shell were his suitcase.

609
00:49:26,990 --> 00:49:27,990
Particulars, height.

610
00:49:28,730 --> 00:49:29,730
Six foot.

611
00:49:30,070 --> 00:49:32,210
Weight? Twelve and a half stone.

612
00:49:32,690 --> 00:49:33,690
What are stones?

613
00:49:35,780 --> 00:49:39,180
175 pounds. Give me your clothes. They
need a wash in iron.

614
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:41,360
Hair color?

615
00:49:42,500 --> 00:49:43,500
Fair.

616
00:49:44,020 --> 00:49:45,020
Religion?

617
00:49:46,300 --> 00:49:47,300
No religion.

618
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:50,160
Come on, I'll give you a second chance.

619
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:51,600
Religion?

620
00:49:52,700 --> 00:49:53,700
No religion.

621
00:49:53,780 --> 00:49:57,600
No religion? A heathen, pagan monkey
man?

622
00:49:58,200 --> 00:49:59,200
Not necessarily.

623
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:03,920
I once was a Methodist till I could see
their method. And then I gave up.

624
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:06,500
What have you done to yourself?

625
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:07,920
We scared you?

626
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:10,640
Honey.

627
00:50:11,420 --> 00:50:14,400
Honey? Do the English piss honey?

628
00:50:15,140 --> 00:50:18,300
I've seen worse. When Tom and Joe went
bare- Shut up, Ma.

629
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:20,080
Take them off.

630
00:50:20,180 --> 00:50:23,680
I just won't ask why you waste the
honey, honey on your John Thomas.

631
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:31,420
So, trespasser, womanizer, peeping Tom,
scribbler, defacer of Moab, Joe,

632
00:50:31,540 --> 00:50:33,680
property honey-pisser, and a pagan...

633
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:35,320
Heathen Monkey Man.

634
00:50:35,620 --> 00:50:40,140
I'll see if I can find you a pair of
towels. No, Heathen Monkey Man's wearing

635
00:50:40,140 --> 00:50:41,140
my pants.

636
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:45,660
Your crimes, Looper, get worser and
worser.

637
00:50:46,180 --> 00:50:50,040
Stand up against the wall so we'll all
be able to recognize you in hell because

638
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:51,920
unlike you, I'm a religious man.

639
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:57,220
But I like being evil too much to even
want to go to heaven. And I want to

640
00:50:57,220 --> 00:51:01,800
recognize you so I can whip you for
having no religion and being a pagan

641
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:02,960
Heathen Monkey Man.

642
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:12,720
Give him a W for weekend prisoner, PT
for peeping Tom, and

643
00:51:12,720 --> 00:51:15,300
initials, TL.

644
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:18,760
As in, I have only one T.

645
00:51:19,300 --> 00:51:21,280
Well, use V for voyeur.

646
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:22,600
What's that mean?

647
00:51:22,820 --> 00:51:25,320
Someone who watches when he shouldn't.

648
00:51:25,780 --> 00:51:28,320
Which is a good definition of a
photographer.

649
00:51:28,980 --> 00:51:29,980
And the number?

650
00:51:30,540 --> 00:51:33,580
Add a few knots so it won't look as
though we're underemployed.

651
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:36,420
That looks dangerous.

652
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:38,240
A real felony.

653
00:51:38,620 --> 00:51:41,540
A bit much for a kid with such a baby
face.

654
00:51:43,260 --> 00:51:47,760
Pagans are dangerous. They push forward
all manner of unwanted freedoms, free

655
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:50,920
thinking, free love, free politics, free
milk.

656
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:52,600
Free milk?

657
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:57,140
And don't go taking advantage. Don't you
go thinking you're so important. We've

658
00:51:57,140 --> 00:52:01,000
had a real shooting gallery of hoodlums
in here. Make mincemeat out of your

659
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:02,000
puny...

660
00:52:02,580 --> 00:52:05,940
We're not so short of some real good
sinners.

661
00:52:06,700 --> 00:52:09,620
Too much foreigners is not comparable
scene.

662
00:52:10,380 --> 00:52:13,660
Why are you gripping that suitcase full
like that?

663
00:52:14,220 --> 00:52:17,080
What you got inside, it's full of holes.

664
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:22,660
Mrs. Fender says that you're interested
in the lost gold of the Mormons, the

665
00:52:22,660 --> 00:52:23,980
suitcase for the lost gold.

666
00:52:24,220 --> 00:52:26,100
You'll lose it through those holes.

667
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:27,920
Do you believe in all that stuff?

668
00:52:28,380 --> 00:52:29,380
Could do.

669
00:52:32,150 --> 00:52:33,570
All right, Mr. Fender.

670
00:52:33,890 --> 00:52:35,510
I want to see the man you arrested.

671
00:52:36,870 --> 00:52:39,990
No way. We have orders from Mr. Percy.

672
00:52:40,370 --> 00:52:41,930
I can deal with Mr.

673
00:52:42,250 --> 00:52:43,250
Percy.

674
00:52:47,230 --> 00:52:48,530
Can you deal with me?

675
00:52:59,850 --> 00:53:02,570
my photograph taken too, Joe, Mr. Master
Singer.

676
00:53:02,890 --> 00:53:03,930
You can do that.

677
00:53:53,260 --> 00:53:56,820
Now you are beginning to really look
like young lovers.

678
00:53:57,040 --> 00:54:00,280
Now you are beginning to really look
like young lovers.

679
00:54:00,660 --> 00:54:03,260
And I've photographed them all.

680
00:54:03,720 --> 00:54:05,820
Special rate for loving couples.

681
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:12,540
You could, you could just in some case,
call them marriage photos.

682
00:54:13,380 --> 00:54:17,180
Guarantees of assault to show two people
having taken the vows.

683
00:54:17,540 --> 00:54:19,840
Though many don't work out so well.

684
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:21,580
I have photographed all.

685
00:54:23,340 --> 00:54:24,340
Major,

686
00:54:24,820 --> 00:54:25,820
sheriff,

687
00:54:26,500 --> 00:54:27,500
counselor,

688
00:54:27,940 --> 00:54:34,680
mistress, wife, proper wives, improper
wives, secondary

689
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:39,580
wives, polygamists, bigamists, alopels,

690
00:54:41,020 --> 00:54:45,800
adulterers, and their children. Many,
many children.

691
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:51,640
Sick and well and dead. Not so pretty.

692
00:54:52,110 --> 00:54:55,310
Middling pretty and so pretty they are.
Unbelievable.

693
00:54:56,130 --> 00:54:57,310
Little angels.

694
00:54:57,810 --> 00:55:00,750
Take your sister along, Ruby.

695
00:55:01,070 --> 00:55:02,470
Careful now, Joe.

696
00:55:03,070 --> 00:55:05,070
Beautiful. Beautiful.

697
00:55:05,370 --> 00:55:07,550
Beautiful. Careful, Joe.

698
00:55:08,130 --> 00:55:12,990
That child, that child was accused of
profanity. Impossible.

699
00:55:13,470 --> 00:55:17,270
Impossible. I took so many photos of
that child.

700
00:55:18,250 --> 00:55:21,530
The lens became fixed with their image.

701
00:55:22,310 --> 00:55:25,870
Now, I'd like to see those photos very
smartly, Mr. Mastersinger.

702
00:55:26,210 --> 00:55:29,030
And while we wait... Please, you're
dead, Mr. Fender.

703
00:55:29,530 --> 00:55:31,050
I guess it'll still be warm.

704
00:55:35,370 --> 00:55:41,890
Why the hell did you do all this?

705
00:55:42,570 --> 00:55:43,570
Isn't it obvious?

706
00:55:44,070 --> 00:55:47,730
I wanted to get you safe somewhere where
we wouldn't be deserved.

707
00:55:49,050 --> 00:55:50,730
We're better than the sheriff's nest.

708
00:55:52,780 --> 00:55:55,440
I'm falling in deeply. I have to
explain.

709
00:55:55,900 --> 00:55:56,900
It's okay.

710
00:55:57,420 --> 00:55:59,380
There is no explanation.

711
00:56:00,180 --> 00:56:05,120
And you don't have to get excited about
screwing a child's bride because I was

712
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:06,120
18 last April.

713
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:09,840
April 1st? I'm an April Fool birthday
girl.

714
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:13,960
Ha!

715
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:16,560
Now you know what this means.

716
00:56:17,140 --> 00:56:21,880
It means my daddy was very, very
patriotic. A truly patriotic man.

717
00:56:22,410 --> 00:56:25,950
A true American making me a true
American girl.

718
00:56:26,770 --> 00:56:28,730
I was conceived on the 4th of July.

719
00:56:30,470 --> 00:56:32,310
You still don't believe me, do you?

720
00:56:33,630 --> 00:56:34,670
Don't fret yourself.

721
00:56:35,790 --> 00:56:39,010
Mormon women are minors to outsiders
till they say otherwise.

722
00:56:39,710 --> 00:56:41,410
You English grow up slowly.

723
00:56:42,610 --> 00:56:44,550
Mormons live in the present tense.

724
00:56:44,830 --> 00:56:47,030
Joseph Smith was a present tense man.

725
00:56:47,310 --> 00:56:49,090
You gotta live that way because...

726
00:56:49,770 --> 00:56:53,290
Tomorrow's hell, which will be as boring
as sitting in the hot desert with the

727
00:56:53,290 --> 00:56:54,950
snakes and the drunken Indians.

728
00:56:55,230 --> 00:56:56,670
You've got a mighty taste of that
already.

729
00:56:57,090 --> 00:57:00,950
And heaven, well, heaven's gonna be
hell, too.

730
00:57:01,950 --> 00:57:06,430
Sitting about at a man's world, sharing
his unwashed needs with the otherwise.

731
00:57:44,380 --> 00:57:47,780
Okay, now kiss my ass, Englishman.

732
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:04,480
Ah, now that's something you can't put
into your suitcase.

733
00:58:58,120 --> 00:58:59,180
I was washing.

734
00:58:59,780 --> 00:59:04,460
That water supply runs on to Creeley. It
is their drinking water.

735
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:06,780
I doubt it. It's full of stomach worms.

736
00:59:07,140 --> 00:59:11,780
The Creeleys have drunk that water for
30 years. Their eldest is now 93.

737
00:59:12,380 --> 00:59:17,140
As an ignorant alien... You have gone
and pissed in their drink. I was

738
00:59:17,140 --> 00:59:18,140
washing.

739
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:23,600
Oh, my, oh, my.

740
00:59:24,860 --> 00:59:30,260
Out of the desert cometh the Savior,
leading a white horse and extended with

741
00:59:30,260 --> 00:59:32,200
honey. Is your name Moroni?

742
00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:37,640
You ever been to Europe, Mrs. Fender?
There's plenty of sea in Europe.

743
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:39,020
Are you planning to go there?

744
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:42,500
Okay, I could take a few hours off. Is
it far?

745
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:44,420
We could take the Cameron Highway.

746
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:47,800
I must be back for supper. I've got a
broth on a slow boil.

747
00:59:56,859 --> 00:59:57,859
Get dressed.

748
00:59:58,060 --> 00:59:59,060
I'll let you out the porch.

749
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:02,480
I'll lock Tommy and the John, but you've
only got five minutes. He's learned how

750
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:04,300
to pick the lock. He's learned how to
pick the lock.

751
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:13,120
Is this stupid?

752
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:14,600
What are you doing?

753
01:00:14,780 --> 01:00:16,980
He'll be seen as hostage. Fender won't
shoot.

754
01:00:22,300 --> 01:00:23,680
Just even know where Europe is?

755
01:00:24,580 --> 01:00:26,080
You're a geography snob.

756
01:00:26,890 --> 01:00:28,010
She's my mother's cousin.

757
01:00:28,710 --> 01:00:33,690
Mormon women have great sisterly love.
It surpasses all male understanding.

758
01:00:34,810 --> 01:00:35,810
And geography.

759
01:00:36,230 --> 01:00:38,990
Martin, for God's sake, stop the truck.
What are you doing?

760
01:00:39,310 --> 01:00:40,410
Eloping with a foreigner.

761
01:00:40,610 --> 01:00:41,448
Who's he?

762
01:00:41,450 --> 01:00:43,750
Martino Nocovelli, son of an Italian ice
cream seller.

763
01:00:44,050 --> 01:00:45,029
Drive slowly.

764
01:00:45,030 --> 01:00:48,970
I often get carsick. Don't worry, so
does he. Move this thing faster. Martin,

765
01:00:48,970 --> 01:00:50,390
for God's sake, stop the truck. What are
you doing?

766
01:00:50,730 --> 01:00:53,230
She'll be back before eight. She's got a
brothel.

767
01:00:55,150 --> 01:00:57,390
What the hell are you stopping for? They
got my wife.

768
01:00:57,670 --> 01:00:59,110
I can't meet them.

769
01:00:59,870 --> 01:01:02,430
I have to snap at the petrol fire for
six months.

770
01:01:02,990 --> 01:01:06,230
Jesus, a break out of kidnapping and
you're watching fires.

771
01:01:06,570 --> 01:01:10,410
A fire is greater on the Richter's Gate
than any old woman kidnapped.

772
01:01:10,870 --> 01:01:14,490
Any old woman you watch at Tongue Master
Singer or you'll be any old

773
01:01:14,490 --> 01:01:17,210
photographer. Martin, for God's sake,
start the truck. What are you doing?

774
01:01:17,410 --> 01:01:18,430
Eloping with a foreigner.

775
01:01:18,630 --> 01:01:19,468
Who's he?

776
01:01:19,470 --> 01:01:21,750
Martino Nocovelli, son of an Italian ice
cream.

777
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:25,100
Drive slowly. I often get carsick. Don't
worry. Stop and see.

778
01:01:25,340 --> 01:01:29,200
It's okay, sweetheart. This is fine.
Stop the car. I can stop a truck back.

779
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:33,320
My mother's cousin lives on the corner.
I could pick up some Wurzels and corn

780
01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:34,440
jollet for Tommy's breakfast.

781
01:01:36,820 --> 01:01:43,660
You and yours were a jolt to the system
passion. You made him. And up no end. I

782
01:01:43,660 --> 01:01:45,280
thank you kindly.

783
01:01:47,610 --> 01:01:48,930
Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.

784
01:02:18,510 --> 01:02:24,330
Never before were mine so strangely
willing.

785
01:02:24,650 --> 01:02:30,950
Yeah, but now I see what one in break
can do. Look at me.

786
01:02:31,270 --> 01:02:37,630
It's got me loving you madly. That
little kiss you took.

787
01:03:09,090 --> 01:03:10,090
Jesus!

788
01:03:10,610 --> 01:03:11,610
What's the matter?

789
01:03:11,830 --> 01:03:12,830
My stomach?

790
01:03:13,470 --> 01:03:14,890
Too many cherries.

791
01:03:15,210 --> 01:03:20,230
I've got to run. No, I won't. I told
you.

792
01:04:02,299 --> 01:04:04,380
Percy! Well, well, well.

793
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:07,020
It isn't all this personal.

794
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:09,540
Let him go.

795
01:04:11,100 --> 01:04:12,400
I'll punch him!

796
01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:14,080
Percy!

797
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:36,200
I could make you a bargain.

798
01:04:38,180 --> 01:04:42,200
This man is a professional mad dog.

799
01:04:42,900 --> 01:04:49,200
They all believe he killed his sister
because he caught her rubbing herself

800
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:52,860
against the hitching post they tied you
to in the yard.

801
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:54,920
Sex?

802
01:04:55,820 --> 01:05:02,080
Any hint or smell or talk or mention of
sex to this man?

803
01:05:03,020 --> 01:05:04,940
is the quick fuse to madness.

804
01:05:07,020 --> 01:05:08,720
He's a little jealous.

805
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:11,940
You may recall his reasons.

806
01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:14,480
You are screwing his wife.

807
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:16,640
His wife?

808
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:18,680
Crazy, isn't it?

809
01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:20,900
As if you didn't know.

810
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:24,500
But forget Percy.

811
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:31,360
The real evil is that man in the car.

812
01:05:32,650 --> 01:05:34,050
Remember his name.

813
01:05:34,750 --> 01:05:38,230
Lefranic. Julius Lefranic.

814
01:05:39,070 --> 01:05:40,510
He's going to Europe.

815
01:05:41,490 --> 01:05:42,490
Holland.

816
01:05:43,470 --> 01:05:44,970
Belgium. Germany.

817
01:05:47,050 --> 01:05:52,030
You watch him for me, and I'll protect
you.

818
01:05:52,410 --> 01:05:54,910
Then and now.

819
01:05:56,010 --> 01:05:57,010
All right.

820
01:05:58,050 --> 01:06:00,090
That looks like an easy bargain.

821
01:06:01,550 --> 01:06:03,110
I may never see you again.

822
01:06:03,790 --> 01:06:04,790
Or him.

823
01:06:05,270 --> 01:06:08,590
I should make it your business to see me
again.

824
01:06:09,330 --> 01:06:11,850
Or else the mad dog goes loose.

825
01:06:13,090 --> 01:06:17,570
If I make a bargain with you, how do you
know I'll honor it?

826
01:06:19,070 --> 01:06:20,130
I don't.

827
01:06:21,090 --> 01:06:22,090
But you know.

828
01:06:23,790 --> 01:06:26,570
It seems like you're buying up my
future.

829
01:06:27,790 --> 01:06:33,990
Well, if I just now have to take a
beating for the present, then my future

830
01:06:33,990 --> 01:06:36,410
belongs to no one.

831
01:06:38,770 --> 01:06:39,950
Suit yourself.

832
01:06:41,210 --> 01:06:43,910
Face the future with a broken neck.

833
01:07:00,460 --> 01:07:04,920
I'm going to make sure no part of your
miserable body touches a woman again.

834
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:14,440
Get in the car.

835
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:15,800
Get in!

836
01:07:16,220 --> 01:07:19,640
The only little pleasure I get and you
can't provide and you've got to have a

837
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:20,640
threshold over it.

838
01:07:20,860 --> 01:07:22,780
Who the hell do you think you are? Shut
up!

839
01:07:23,260 --> 01:07:27,880
If you're not intimidated by the stick,
perhaps you'll be interested in the

840
01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:28,880
carrot.

841
01:07:29,710 --> 01:07:33,050
This is a present for you.

842
01:07:34,390 --> 01:07:36,230
Mormons are very physical.

843
01:07:36,810 --> 01:07:39,910
They take an eye for an eye and a tooth
for a tooth.

844
01:07:40,470 --> 01:07:42,330
They also believe in visions.

845
01:07:43,390 --> 01:07:47,510
They all saw you coming out of the
desert leading a white horse and wearing

846
01:07:47,510 --> 01:07:48,570
bucket-top boots.

847
01:07:49,530 --> 01:07:52,310
Joseph Smith wore bucket-top boots.

848
01:07:53,070 --> 01:07:56,510
And Brigham Young was the only one
allowed to ride a white horse.

849
01:07:58,570 --> 01:08:05,290
And for me, I was so impressed I took
you for the angel Moroni himself.

850
01:08:06,450 --> 01:08:12,170
If you want to stamp out evil, then
you're in my pay. Remember that. Joseph

851
01:08:12,170 --> 01:08:15,910
Smith was keen to stamp out evil.

852
01:08:16,310 --> 01:08:19,149
Stamp out the evil! Stamp out the evil!

853
01:08:19,430 --> 01:08:22,529
Stamp out the evil! That's hard-core
money.

854
01:08:28,680 --> 01:08:29,779
should be going home.

855
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:32,200
Don't you?

856
01:08:32,779 --> 01:08:33,779
Now?

857
01:08:36,180 --> 01:08:41,479
We'll all grow to love you in the end.
We'll all grow to love you in the end.

858
01:09:05,479 --> 01:09:07,240
Sinistone people should take it slowly.

859
01:09:10,300 --> 01:09:12,520
Sexual activity adds digestion.

860
01:09:13,300 --> 01:09:15,640
Faire l'amour, c'est bon pour la
digestion.

861
01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:21,660
And I promise, we have to make it last
an hour.

862
01:09:21,899 --> 01:09:23,979
Oh, it's a challenge, I doubt I'm up to.

863
01:09:27,359 --> 01:09:30,859
Or is this some financial requirement?

864
01:09:31,540 --> 01:09:34,439
For you, I'll strike off the first
candidate.

865
01:09:34,990 --> 01:09:37,870
The ink on task, the waiting time, the
extra.

866
01:09:38,170 --> 01:09:39,510
I wonder what the extra should be.

867
01:09:39,770 --> 01:09:43,790
This breakfast might be more expensive
than I am. Not if you charge according

868
01:09:43,790 --> 01:09:44,790
to party weight.

869
01:09:45,510 --> 01:09:50,270
Don't tempt me, huh? You might not be
able to afford a tea. Eat.

870
01:10:01,690 --> 01:10:03,470
Luper was writing for a living.

871
01:10:03,980 --> 01:10:08,320
as unofficial Belgian correspondent on
natural history for two English

872
01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:11,280
newspapers, The Times and the Manchester
Guardian.

873
01:10:11,660 --> 01:10:13,720
It was undoubtedly a cover.

874
01:10:14,040 --> 01:10:18,520
Belgian natural history be neither
exotic or especially different from

875
01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:19,660
English natural history.

876
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:24,900
He was really collecting material on the
rapidly gathering brutality in Europe.

877
01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:32,840
It is not absolutely certain who came to
arrest Looper in Antwerp.

878
01:10:33,180 --> 01:10:37,300
But of the company, three and possibly
four of them had auditioned to become

879
01:10:37,300 --> 01:10:38,500
his permanent jailers.

880
01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:40,820
They were to haunt his life.

881
01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:45,460
I'm going to get the papers. Do you want
anything?

882
01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:39,000
He was an angry young man. No, no, no,
no, no, no. Wrong time, wrong place. I

883
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:42,520
am 56 and I could be Irish.

884
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:46,580
My mother slept with Isaac Singer. No,
no, no, no, no, no, no.

885
01:11:46,820 --> 01:11:49,280
Wrong time, wrong place, wrong writer.

886
01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:51,460
Singer wasn't even a playwright.

887
01:11:51,780 --> 01:11:52,780
He was a singer.

888
01:11:53,980 --> 01:11:54,980
That's a joke.

889
01:11:55,140 --> 01:11:56,600
Captain never told jokes.

890
01:11:57,000 --> 01:11:58,460
He could never be a writer.

891
01:11:58,780 --> 01:12:00,100
He looked like a butler.

892
01:12:00,380 --> 01:12:02,380
Meg's brother wouldn't recognize any of
them.

893
01:12:02,840 --> 01:12:07,460
I have been to China and I've seen the
Great Wall.

894
01:12:07,740 --> 01:12:08,740
That's got to be a lie.

895
01:12:09,100 --> 01:12:10,100
It's a good try.

896
01:12:10,440 --> 01:12:11,440
It's a little desperate.

897
01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:16,060
Can you speak German with a Czech
accent? I speak only Gaelic. Hey, my

898
01:12:16,060 --> 01:12:16,898
part's taken.

899
01:12:16,900 --> 01:12:20,680
Shit, I've never liked Beckett anyway.
The Irish are too much for the awkward

900
01:12:20,680 --> 01:12:26,460
squad. I'm a Romanian, a nation that
understands all the anxieties of the

901
01:12:26,460 --> 01:12:29,340
Czech soul. Bucharest is a thousand
miles from Prague.

902
01:12:29,770 --> 01:12:31,550
And probably 2,000 miles from Dublin.

903
01:12:31,850 --> 01:12:32,749
Like Kafka.

904
01:12:32,750 --> 01:12:35,730
I had to learn German to be understood
by the world. The world?

905
01:12:36,590 --> 01:12:38,670
I wish it was easy to be understood.

906
01:12:38,930 --> 01:12:39,930
I'd learn German.

907
01:12:40,090 --> 01:12:41,090
My part's taken.

908
01:12:41,170 --> 01:12:44,390
That was Kafka. We are looking for a
Becker. I can do Becker too.

909
01:12:44,650 --> 01:12:45,650
Nothing happens.

910
01:12:45,890 --> 01:12:47,930
Nobody comes. Nobody goes.

911
01:12:48,190 --> 01:12:49,089
It's awful.

912
01:12:49,090 --> 01:12:50,090
Tell him to think.

913
01:12:50,350 --> 01:12:51,490
Give him his hat. His hat?

914
01:12:51,710 --> 01:12:55,850
He can't think without his hat. Give him
his hat. Me. After what he did to me.

915
01:12:55,930 --> 01:12:59,620
Never. I'll give it. Tell him to go and
fetch it. It's better to give it to him.

916
01:12:59,820 --> 01:13:03,840
I'll give it to him. You must put it on
his hand. Tell him to take it. It's

917
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:06,500
better to put it on his hand. I'll put
it on his hand.

918
01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:17,280
What's he waiting for?

919
01:13:17,700 --> 01:13:18,699
Shut up!

920
01:13:18,700 --> 01:13:20,300
The old Beckett lived in Paris.

921
01:13:21,520 --> 01:13:24,200
Which figure would you most like to work
with, Mr. Pinch?

922
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:27,020
Well, you know, I couldn't care less.

923
01:13:27,420 --> 01:13:28,420
It's up to you.

924
01:13:29,540 --> 01:13:31,840
I mean, do I have to eat and sleep with
him?

925
01:13:32,580 --> 01:13:33,680
Does he snore?

926
01:13:35,180 --> 01:13:37,040
Do you have stinking feet?

927
01:13:38,180 --> 01:13:40,340
Do you wash your hands frequently?

928
01:13:42,020 --> 01:13:43,020
You like women?

929
01:13:43,240 --> 01:13:44,440
You have 11 children.

930
01:13:44,780 --> 01:13:45,780
All from one woman.

931
01:13:46,020 --> 01:13:47,560
Beckett didn't have 11 children.

932
01:13:47,940 --> 01:13:50,500
We are departing a little from the
original.

933
01:13:50,780 --> 01:13:52,040
Beckett is just a guy.

934
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:53,640
No new teeth.

935
01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:57,800
I could be an out-of-work undertaker in
a previous role.

936
01:13:58,200 --> 01:14:01,140
There's a little side interest in
selling guns.

937
01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:02,920
The Irish like guns.

938
01:14:03,260 --> 01:14:05,580
I could be a retired butler.

939
01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:09,620
Gentleman's butler. On hard time.
Undertakers are never our word.

940
01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:12,340
Nowadays, more people are dying than
being born.

941
01:14:12,660 --> 01:14:15,300
If you can have 11 children, you should
know. We could dress you up as an

942
01:14:15,300 --> 01:14:17,780
undertaker. Do the right of horse.

943
01:14:18,330 --> 01:14:22,250
Beckett never rode a horse in his life.
That was Joyce on the Dublin Sounds.

944
01:14:22,510 --> 01:14:24,130
Beckett was an Irish fairy.

945
01:14:24,370 --> 01:14:25,370
That was Wyatt.

946
01:14:25,490 --> 01:14:29,570
I saw Esau sitting on a seesaw. How many
S's in that?

947
01:14:30,830 --> 01:14:31,830
I'm not fussy.

948
01:14:33,550 --> 01:14:34,730
Now they could take turns.

949
01:14:55,810 --> 01:14:57,210
Where's Luper gone?

950
01:14:57,770 --> 01:15:01,770
Got to get me croissant, pretzels, hot
chocolate.

951
01:15:04,310 --> 01:15:05,530
Where's she sleep?

952
01:15:05,890 --> 01:15:06,930
Next door.

953
01:15:09,570 --> 01:15:11,570
They're like dogs. They're like dogs.

954
01:15:12,510 --> 01:15:18,390
That great staying power.

955
01:15:18,890 --> 01:15:19,890
What do you mean great?

956
01:15:20,240 --> 01:15:23,140
You can see what they eat. You can see
what they eat. You can see what they

957
01:15:23,140 --> 01:15:25,380
eat. It's the depression.

958
01:15:25,720 --> 01:15:27,280
The depression. The depression.

959
01:15:28,780 --> 01:15:30,780
Nationalist. Nationalist. Spy. Spy.

960
01:15:31,940 --> 01:15:32,980
Nationalist. Spy.

961
01:15:34,260 --> 01:15:35,260
Nationalist. Spy.

962
01:15:35,820 --> 01:15:36,820
Imports aliens.

963
01:15:37,040 --> 01:15:38,980
Rabid. Imports aliens.

964
01:15:39,380 --> 01:15:40,760
Rabid. Imports aliens.

965
01:15:41,160 --> 01:15:43,420
Rabid. Now, I am that.

966
01:15:43,780 --> 01:15:46,940
I speak almost the same language as you
do.

967
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:52,420
My mother was a concessionaire. He may
speak a little English, but his father

968
01:15:52,420 --> 01:15:53,860
was an Italian ice cream seller.

969
01:15:56,220 --> 01:15:57,660
Mussolini is an ally.

970
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:01,960
With such a sweet, poofed background, we
are compatible.

971
01:16:02,180 --> 01:16:06,940
We are compatible, physically and
politically, both ways. In both ways? It

972
01:16:06,940 --> 01:16:09,800
is a perfect fit, which you have
interrupted.

973
01:16:11,160 --> 01:16:12,260
Oh, God.

974
01:16:12,620 --> 01:16:17,390
I recognize you. I recognize you. Behind
your new short... Fascist haircut.

975
01:16:17,870 --> 01:16:18,870
Fascist haircut.

976
01:16:19,510 --> 01:16:24,130
Stefan Figura, how's your mother? Shut
up. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up.

977
01:16:25,370 --> 01:16:26,370
Shut up.

978
01:16:27,370 --> 01:16:28,370
Shut up.

979
01:16:28,450 --> 01:16:29,450
Shut up.

980
01:16:29,990 --> 01:16:33,510
Stefan Figura, how is your mother?

981
01:16:33,730 --> 01:16:34,730
Shut up.

982
01:16:35,430 --> 01:16:37,070
Listen, when will he be back?

983
01:16:37,450 --> 01:16:41,850
When it feels like it. When it feels
like it. When it feels like it. When it

984
01:16:41,850 --> 01:16:45,230
feels like it. When it feels like it.
When it feels like it.

985
01:16:46,060 --> 01:16:47,060
I've hit

986
01:17:21,049 --> 01:17:25,430
Martino Nocaveli was sometime literary
critic for the London News Chronicle,

987
01:17:25,530 --> 01:17:30,090
and his eccentric, spinetic reviews
frequently castigated two particular

988
01:17:30,090 --> 01:17:31,770
literary discoveries of his.

989
01:17:32,330 --> 01:17:36,530
Kafka, who he had read in German, and
Beckett, whom he had read in French.

990
01:17:36,790 --> 01:17:39,890
He hated and was frightened by their
reductionism.

991
01:17:40,450 --> 01:17:45,330
He had been stood up without a hint of
apology by Max Brod, Kafka's publisher

992
01:17:45,330 --> 01:17:48,430
in Prague, and insulted by Beckett.

993
01:17:48,780 --> 01:17:51,040
whom he had met at a literary luncheon
in Dublin.

994
01:17:51,860 --> 01:17:56,080
Beckett had urinated over his shoes in
the gentleman's toilet. Oh, my goodness!

995
01:17:56,220 --> 01:17:57,220
Snake man!

996
01:18:36,620 --> 01:18:40,120
I want a bed of my own, so I don't have
to sleep with my two sisters.

997
01:18:40,820 --> 01:18:41,860
Bloody bastard.

998
01:18:42,660 --> 01:18:45,320
Idiot. They're four and two and filling
nappies.

999
01:18:45,740 --> 01:18:48,920
I want to eat off a plate and not a
metal table.

1000
01:18:49,480 --> 01:18:53,440
I don't want to wear goddamn underpants
on my balls and scratch the pieces by

1001
01:18:53,440 --> 01:18:54,440
canvas trousers.

1002
01:18:54,540 --> 01:18:55,540
Hear, hear.

1003
01:19:21,580 --> 01:19:27,840
Good morning fastidio. Good morning
fastidio. Good morning. Mr. Luper Good

1004
01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:32,920
morning fastidio. Good morning. Mr.
Luper Good morning fastidio. Good

1005
01:19:32,920 --> 01:19:38,140
morning. Mr. Luper Clean money for dirty
newspapers

1006
01:19:50,320 --> 01:19:51,320
newspapers lie.

1007
01:19:51,960 --> 01:19:53,500
Including the ones you write for.

1008
01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:54,720
You think so?

1009
01:19:55,700 --> 01:20:00,180
I like their lies. They're harmless,
which I'm afraid is not the case of some

1010
01:20:00,180 --> 01:20:01,179
of the others.

1011
01:20:01,180 --> 01:20:02,180
Mr.

1012
01:20:02,400 --> 01:20:03,580
Luper, excuse me.

1013
01:20:04,580 --> 01:20:08,260
Not at all personal, but I'm forced to
have new allegiances.

1014
01:20:08,720 --> 01:20:09,860
I beg your pardon?

1015
01:21:14,820 --> 01:21:17,480
Perth Looper was a prolific scribbler.

1016
01:21:18,040 --> 01:21:19,180
Proposals. Agendas.

1017
01:21:19,440 --> 01:21:20,700
Plans. Scenarios.

1018
01:21:20,980 --> 01:21:23,200
Projects. Propositions. Schemes.

1019
01:21:24,280 --> 01:21:25,480
Astrologically, he was an Aryan.

1020
01:21:25,920 --> 01:21:29,760
Astrologically, he was an Aryan. So
little of the plethora of handwritten

1021
01:21:29,760 --> 01:21:32,980
and typed texts ever reached completion,
leave alone publication.

1022
01:21:33,460 --> 01:21:35,820
Others much later were to do that.

1023
01:21:36,060 --> 01:21:38,760
Many, so many texts. So many texts.

1024
01:21:38,980 --> 01:21:43,280
Were dropped into the lost property file
of Looper's myriad of hiding places.

1025
01:21:43,840 --> 01:21:44,799
Under his bed.

1026
01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:46,760
On the proverbial top of his wardrobe.

1027
01:21:47,080 --> 01:21:48,039
Under the stairs.

1028
01:21:48,040 --> 01:21:48,919
In the attic.

1029
01:21:48,920 --> 01:21:51,440
Even in deliberately rented book
depositories.

1030
01:21:54,240 --> 01:21:58,660
Looper rarely threw anything away, but
filed it. If you can call it filing.

1031
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:01,000
Certainly after his first trip to
Holland and Belgium.

1032
01:22:01,240 --> 01:22:02,240
In suitcases.

1033
01:22:02,260 --> 01:22:03,260
In suitcases.

1034
01:22:03,340 --> 01:22:07,700
He had bought. Very cheaply. From the
lost property offices of the Grand

1035
01:22:07,700 --> 01:22:10,040
Central Antwerp Railway Terminal.

1036
01:22:10,420 --> 01:22:15,940
Suitcases. put aside for him by Factor
Dure. By Factor Dure, the proprietor of

1037
01:22:15,940 --> 01:22:18,400
the Antworth Station newspaper kiosk.

1038
01:23:56,500 --> 01:24:00,700
Looper, without any consciousness of
what he was doing, had prepared a

1039
01:24:00,700 --> 01:24:06,120
mountain of raw material for an army of
patient typists, paid by the hour from

1040
01:24:06,120 --> 01:24:10,900
nine till five, to weary their fingers
and damage their eyes, deciphering his

1041
01:24:10,900 --> 01:24:11,900
ephemera.

1042
01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:16,600
Van Huyten insisted everything should be
prepared for inspection on typescript.

1043
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:20,160
That way, he supposed, looper secrets
would be exposed.

1044
01:24:20,520 --> 01:24:25,660
But Van Huyten ignored a problem,
because the busy eyes of 50 Belgian

1045
01:24:25,660 --> 01:24:31,060
stenographers searching the manuscripts
of a potential English spy was not what

1046
01:24:31,060 --> 01:24:32,340
was required at all.

1047
01:24:32,900 --> 01:24:37,140
Van Huyten narrowed his field to one
woman he believed he could trust,

1048
01:24:37,380 --> 01:24:40,380
because she was his niece's adopted
daughter.

1049
01:24:41,060 --> 01:24:43,960
This woman's name was Sissy Colton.

1050
01:25:15,690 --> 01:25:20,530
It's more of your English scribbles,
Frau Kopitz. Frau Kopitz, we sympathize

1051
01:25:20,530 --> 01:25:24,890
with you. Your delicate fingers should
have to waste their energies on this

1052
01:25:24,890 --> 01:25:26,370
alien filth.

1053
01:25:27,050 --> 01:25:28,490
Why, thank you, Esau.

1054
01:25:29,190 --> 01:25:35,110
And give my regards to your wife and to
all the little Esaus, however many there

1055
01:25:35,110 --> 01:25:36,110
now may be.

1056
01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:56,000
What do you want to know?

1057
01:26:02,060 --> 01:26:03,680
Everything. What do you want to start?
Genesis?

1058
01:26:13,290 --> 01:26:15,570
This is a little excessive, isn't it?
Just so I tell you the story of

1059
01:26:15,570 --> 01:26:17,110
creation. And then there was night.

1060
01:26:17,310 --> 01:26:20,150
And then he separated the land from the
sea. All this and we haven't got to the

1061
01:26:20,150 --> 01:26:21,470
flood yet. All aliens are detained.

1062
01:26:21,690 --> 01:26:22,629
All English are detained.

1063
01:26:22,630 --> 01:26:25,350
A journalist. An alien. An English. He
perfectly fit all three categories.

1064
01:26:25,690 --> 01:26:27,230
Owls. Owls? Owls. Owls.

1065
01:26:27,600 --> 01:26:30,780
Name? South Looper. Age? 26. What do you
want to know? Genesis.

1066
01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:34,300
This is a little excessive, isn't it?
Just so I tell you the story of

1067
01:26:34,300 --> 01:26:35,740
creation. And then there was night.

1068
01:26:35,980 --> 01:26:38,860
And then he separated the land from the
sea. All this and we haven't got to the

1069
01:26:38,860 --> 01:26:41,980
flood yet. All aliens are detained. All
English are detained. A journalist. And

1070
01:26:41,980 --> 01:26:45,280
English. Good morning, Mr. Looper.

1071
01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:52,560
Morning.

1072
01:26:53,300 --> 01:26:54,300
For you.

1073
01:26:54,570 --> 01:26:57,330
I am the station master. I am the
station master. And also chief

1074
01:26:57,330 --> 01:27:01,390
commissioner of the Antwerp National
Socialist Confederation. Good morning,

1075
01:27:01,450 --> 01:27:06,270
Mr. Looper. This is my adjutant, John
Palmerian. He's the station doctor.

1076
01:27:06,730 --> 01:27:07,730
And dentist.

1077
01:27:08,330 --> 01:27:12,030
Good morning, Mr. Looper. The dentist.
Open your mouth.

1078
01:27:12,690 --> 01:27:13,690
Why am I arrested?

1079
01:27:14,510 --> 01:27:15,570
Not arrested.

1080
01:27:16,510 --> 01:27:20,490
Merely detained. I am the station
master. Temporary arrangement. Temporary

1081
01:27:20,490 --> 01:27:23,810
arrangement. We can see how.

1082
01:27:24,460 --> 01:27:25,900
We just need a few days.

1083
01:27:26,240 --> 01:27:32,640
We just need a few days. To investigate
your friends, your contacts, your

1084
01:27:32,640 --> 01:27:39,620
manuscripts. What do you eat? How do you
breathe?

1085
01:27:39,760 --> 01:27:42,640
What do you look at out of your bedroom
window? That sort of thing.

1086
01:27:42,940 --> 01:27:49,780
When the English write about natural
history, it's always a...

1087
01:28:11,960 --> 01:28:14,560
Open your mouth. Are you sending
signals?

1088
01:28:14,840 --> 01:28:16,340
Please, come again.

1089
01:28:17,130 --> 01:28:22,290
Are you sending ghosts, Mr. Looper? Are
you making observations for the enemy?

1090
01:28:22,790 --> 01:28:23,790
What enemy?

1091
01:28:24,710 --> 01:28:28,310
But how can I conduct a serious
interview if you fill his mouth with

1092
01:28:28,310 --> 01:28:32,090
medical instruments all the time? You
were seen swimming naked in the North

1093
01:28:32,090 --> 01:28:33,130
Sea in November.

1094
01:28:33,770 --> 01:28:37,930
Good morning, Mr. Looper. In Belgium,
this is not normally seen as the

1095
01:28:37,930 --> 01:28:40,410
activity of a sane man.

1096
01:28:41,550 --> 01:28:44,070
But perhaps the activity of a spy.

1097
01:28:45,129 --> 01:28:49,170
Charles Luper was getting used to the
introductory characteristics of arrest,

1098
01:28:49,410 --> 01:28:53,950
detention and imprisonment. He
endeavoured to be truthful, ordered and

1099
01:28:53,950 --> 01:28:57,630
consistent. He, after all, regarded
himself as a master clerk.

1100
01:28:58,030 --> 01:28:59,370
But there were limits.

1101
01:28:59,690 --> 01:29:02,990
And irony, if not outright sarcasm,
crept in.

1102
01:29:03,550 --> 01:29:08,930
Arrest, detention and imprisonment could
be a game for him if it was a game for

1103
01:29:08,930 --> 01:29:09,929
his jailers.

1104
01:29:09,930 --> 01:29:11,150
I'll tell you what I was doing.

1105
01:29:11,350 --> 01:29:13,270
I was searching for uranium.

1106
01:29:13,820 --> 01:29:15,400
Off the coast of Belgium.

1107
01:29:19,180 --> 01:29:26,040
As you can

1108
01:29:26,040 --> 01:29:32,520
see at this time, I have many duties in
running this happy, sun-killed termite.

1109
01:29:46,340 --> 01:29:52,200
We'll meet the 2031 Express from Berlin,
platform 8, carriage 5.

1110
01:29:53,100 --> 01:29:55,800
Dismissed. Capital of this evening.

1111
01:29:56,100 --> 01:30:02,280
The heck, the heart, the body, rocks
with excitement to be alive at this

1112
01:30:02,280 --> 01:30:03,280
time.

1113
01:30:03,920 --> 01:30:10,520
I have 24 passenger trains a day running
due east. 18

1114
01:30:10,520 --> 01:30:13,240
trains exactly on time into Germany.

1115
01:30:14,040 --> 01:30:17,620
Six trains to Berlin straight into the
rising sun.

1116
01:30:18,100 --> 01:30:19,100
Thank you.

1117
01:30:34,240 --> 01:30:35,400
What is that all?

1118
01:30:35,820 --> 01:30:38,800
I thought we confiscated over a ton and
a half of the stuff.

1119
01:30:39,440 --> 01:30:41,220
It's what we have translated so far.

1120
01:30:41,460 --> 01:30:42,740
It will take time.

1121
01:30:47,660 --> 01:30:51,540
26 trains a day running south.

1122
01:30:51,760 --> 01:30:57,160
The story of an architect pushed from
the roof of the building he just has

1123
01:30:57,160 --> 01:30:59,540
completed is not uncommon.

1124
01:31:00,280 --> 01:31:02,120
18 of them passing Paris.

1125
01:31:04,340 --> 01:31:08,440
Welshmen are supposed to confirm to five
characteristics.

1126
01:31:09,000 --> 01:31:15,400
It was a timetable of good strains, gold
wagons, and cattle

1127
01:31:15,400 --> 01:31:16,400
trucks.

1128
01:31:17,620 --> 01:31:20,440
Philistinism. Self-education.

1129
01:31:20,680 --> 01:31:22,500
Great penny kettle trucks.

1130
01:31:22,800 --> 01:31:29,720
Up to 196 a day. It's a curious fact
that even left-handed

1131
01:31:29,720 --> 01:31:34,260
people wipe their backside with a right
hand.

1132
01:31:37,960 --> 01:31:44,580
My station is at luck.

1133
01:31:46,420 --> 01:31:47,980
Everything on time.

1134
01:31:48,760 --> 01:31:49,760
Every day.

1135
01:31:49,880 --> 01:31:51,820
I am the hour hand.

1136
01:31:52,060 --> 01:31:53,360
Palmyra is the minute hand.

1137
01:31:53,660 --> 01:31:57,700
God could time his universe by my
station clock.

1138
01:31:58,800 --> 01:32:03,680
We know, Mr. Looper, that that is
clearly a subject that you don't have a

1139
01:32:03,680 --> 01:32:05,120
written opinion on.

1140
01:32:06,120 --> 01:32:10,300
How could you write off time and travel
and transportation for me?

1141
01:32:11,560 --> 01:32:15,420
Think of it, Looper. A pale bee and
horse takes and cannot bear.

1142
01:32:15,880 --> 01:32:20,000
It's not bad for a third-class prisoner
under bathroom arrest.

1143
01:32:20,540 --> 01:32:21,640
Luther agreed.

1144
01:32:22,100 --> 01:32:23,460
He was amused.

1145
01:32:23,680 --> 01:32:27,020
He enjoyed order, numbers, playing with
time.

1146
01:32:27,360 --> 01:32:33,660
He wrote the stationmaster of Antwerp
railway terminus 100 stories about time

1147
01:32:33,660 --> 01:32:34,940
travel and transportation.

1148
01:32:35,920 --> 01:32:41,200
The stories often received information
about torture, aggression and the

1149
01:32:41,200 --> 01:32:43,740
problems of hiding a facial scar with a
moustache.

1150
01:32:45,960 --> 01:32:46,960
Oh, good idea, Limbaugh.

1151
01:32:47,100 --> 01:32:48,100
Consider the publicity.

1152
01:32:48,960 --> 01:32:50,360
Right indigenous men run to art.

1153
01:32:50,760 --> 01:32:52,560
That's all the newspaper at school you
want to be hearing.

1154
01:32:52,820 --> 01:32:56,100
Most Belgians want to live in Paris.

1155
01:32:57,500 --> 01:33:00,040
And those that don't would like to live
in London.

1156
01:33:00,720 --> 01:33:03,180
Don't spoil it. That's why I don't want
you to wear a uniform.

1157
01:33:03,660 --> 01:33:07,400
Look, Belgian, you have just the body
for a uniform.

1158
01:33:07,720 --> 01:33:08,720
Like a column.

1159
01:33:09,600 --> 01:33:11,520
Undifferentiated. And you should grow a
moustache.

1160
01:33:12,220 --> 01:33:13,340
Like all our cadets.

1161
01:33:13,620 --> 01:33:14,620
A red one.

1162
01:33:14,700 --> 01:33:15,700
Stop! Hey!

1163
01:33:15,930 --> 01:33:19,030
Hey, what the hell are you doing? You
shouldn't try to engage us, you stupid

1164
01:33:19,030 --> 01:33:20,030
idiot!

1165
01:33:21,070 --> 01:33:24,410
Go on, go on, find a bandage, get a
cloth, stop the blood.

1166
01:33:25,490 --> 01:33:26,490
Jesus!

1167
01:33:27,250 --> 01:33:28,250
Jesus!

1168
01:33:29,710 --> 01:33:30,710
Jesus! Jesus!

1169
01:33:31,350 --> 01:33:32,350
Jesus!

1170
01:34:26,890 --> 01:34:27,950
What the hell?

1171
01:34:32,730 --> 01:34:33,730
I'm sorry.

1172
01:34:34,010 --> 01:34:35,170
I'm a regular traveler.

1173
01:34:35,710 --> 01:34:40,150
I never expected to find your guards
here. My guards? Are you your guards to

1174
01:34:40,150 --> 01:34:41,910
take this man into my office at once?

1175
01:34:43,180 --> 01:34:45,100
I take the names of all these witnesses.

1176
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:47,000
It's true, sir.

1177
01:35:10,700 --> 01:35:15,780
The Hogmeister Mormon family from Mohab,
Utah, newly affiliated representative

1178
01:35:15,780 --> 01:35:21,280
members of the American Fascist Party,
arrived as an honored delegation in

1179
01:35:21,280 --> 01:35:25,040
Antwerp, wealthy Belgian city of
diamonds and jewels.

1180
01:35:25,860 --> 01:35:31,940
It did not go unnoticed that of all the
many fracturings of Protestant Christian

1181
01:35:31,940 --> 01:35:37,920
religious sects, the Mormons were
curiously exempt from the antagonisms of

1182
01:35:37,920 --> 01:35:39,200
European fascism.

1183
01:35:53,230 --> 01:35:54,270
for more than five minutes.

1184
01:35:54,610 --> 01:35:56,730
You are a dead dentist.

1185
01:35:57,370 --> 01:36:00,790
I've got to wake up completely
pain-free. You hear that?

1186
01:36:02,350 --> 01:36:03,350
Jesus.

1187
01:36:04,010 --> 01:36:05,970
I don't like the smell of gas.

1188
01:36:06,670 --> 01:36:08,570
Or dead pus, for that matter.

1189
01:36:09,570 --> 01:36:10,890
Gatter some of this about.

1190
01:36:13,910 --> 01:36:17,190
I am completely terrified of the smell
of gas.

1191
01:36:18,310 --> 01:36:20,870
That's a very small...

1192
01:36:21,560 --> 01:36:23,060
An expensive bottom.

1193
01:36:24,980 --> 01:36:26,200
I can do better.

1194
01:36:28,420 --> 01:36:30,240
French contraband.

1195
01:36:30,780 --> 01:36:31,780
Imported.

1196
01:36:32,680 --> 01:36:34,420
Requisitioned from illegal travelers.

1197
01:36:43,940 --> 01:36:47,720
Passable. Now chuck it about before you
turn that stuff on.

1198
01:36:48,340 --> 01:36:49,380
Now give me one.

1199
01:37:00,630 --> 01:37:03,650
Now I'm watching that clock.

1200
01:37:04,130 --> 01:37:10,510
Two ticks over the five minutes and
you're a corpse in a messy white gown.

1201
01:38:28,460 --> 01:38:29,540
Papers. Trousers.

1202
01:38:31,880 --> 01:38:33,120
Trousers, trousers, trousers.

1203
01:38:34,940 --> 01:38:39,040
What the hell is Belgium to get your
trousers down? There is no such language

1204
01:38:39,040 --> 01:38:40,040
as Belgium.

1205
01:38:41,880 --> 01:38:48,640
Get your smelly trousers down, you wop.
Yeah, Passion was brought up in the Utah

1206
01:38:48,640 --> 01:38:49,640
desert.

1207
01:38:49,820 --> 01:38:52,340
But she has the sweetest kernel.

1208
01:38:52,820 --> 01:38:54,340
She has the sweetest kernel.

1209
01:38:57,060 --> 01:38:59,790
Clean. Move on. She was not brown.

1210
01:39:00,070 --> 01:39:01,070
Quite the same.

1211
01:39:01,330 --> 01:39:04,310
Small, but, uh, clean.

1212
01:39:05,430 --> 01:39:06,430
Move on.

1213
01:39:08,190 --> 01:39:11,930
It's roses, peaches, apricots in the
desert. All imported.

1214
01:39:12,470 --> 01:39:14,810
Who are? Really? These are all illegal
immigrants?

1215
01:39:15,130 --> 01:39:17,110
No, the fruit of the desert.

1216
01:39:17,430 --> 01:39:18,430
Papers.

1217
01:39:18,910 --> 01:39:20,110
And your trousers.

1218
01:39:21,710 --> 01:39:24,430
Come on, I can't wait all day whilst you
fiddle with yourself.

1219
01:39:25,390 --> 01:39:27,430
Yeah, I'm a lucky man. Yeah.

1220
01:39:27,850 --> 01:39:29,990
Mormon woman, I got the key to the
world.

1221
01:39:31,410 --> 01:39:33,730
Aren't Mormons allowed more than one
wife?

1222
01:39:34,850 --> 01:39:38,050
You see, men, we died early in the
desert.

1223
01:39:38,830 --> 01:39:40,630
Too many women, not enough men.

1224
01:39:40,890 --> 01:39:42,670
Come on, you know how to undo your
button. What about you?

1225
01:39:43,070 --> 01:39:44,070
Second wife?

1226
01:39:44,430 --> 01:39:45,430
Third wife?

1227
01:39:46,330 --> 01:39:47,850
Negotiating, negotiating, negotiating.

1228
01:39:48,390 --> 01:39:49,490
Hey! Hey!

1229
01:39:49,770 --> 01:39:52,110
Hey, you come back here, you Belgian
bastard!

1230
01:39:54,670 --> 01:39:57,130
Shit! Our men are at the, uh...

1231
01:39:57,360 --> 01:39:58,360
After school, guy?

1232
01:39:59,820 --> 01:40:03,080
It was a waste of time trying to do a
school book. Hey, you!

1233
01:40:03,600 --> 01:40:04,600
Come here.

1234
01:40:10,660 --> 01:40:12,620
Okay, let's see the monkey.

1235
01:40:13,400 --> 01:40:14,880
With pleasure, let's see yours.

1236
01:40:15,920 --> 01:40:18,880
You dirty sod.

1237
01:40:19,320 --> 01:40:20,440
It's a fair request.

1238
01:40:20,780 --> 01:40:23,860
Hey, whose side are you on? I'm doing
the asking. No, you're doing the

1239
01:40:23,860 --> 01:40:25,480
shouting. This is my cousin.

1240
01:40:28,320 --> 01:40:29,420
Cousin or no cousin.

1241
01:40:30,600 --> 01:40:32,540
All right, get moving, get moving, get
moving.

1242
01:40:32,780 --> 01:40:33,780
Hey.

1243
01:40:34,040 --> 01:40:36,960
Yes? Women wearing trousers is an
offense.

1244
01:40:37,620 --> 01:40:38,780
Let me see your papers.

1245
01:40:39,260 --> 01:40:43,580
Paul Marion, as a favor, I will show you
my wife.

1246
01:40:43,820 --> 01:40:44,820
As a favor?

1247
01:40:44,920 --> 01:40:46,380
Spanish descent. I'll show you my wife.

1248
01:40:47,060 --> 01:40:49,380
I thought you said you had a German
father.

1249
01:40:49,840 --> 01:40:51,540
Yeah, I did, I did, I did.

1250
01:40:52,260 --> 01:40:55,600
You see, the unmarried are the
underprivileged.

1251
01:40:56,640 --> 01:40:59,900
Fox and Fox and Fox again. You'll see.
Are you a man?

1252
01:41:01,920 --> 01:41:04,920
You see, if you're not a man, prove it.

1253
01:41:06,020 --> 01:41:08,440
Because, you know, your passport could
be fake.

1254
01:41:08,840 --> 01:41:12,640
I see. I think you've taken this one far
enough. Come on, Palmieri. What are

1255
01:41:12,640 --> 01:41:13,640
these uniforms for?

1256
01:41:14,600 --> 01:41:15,760
They wouldn't touch it.

1257
01:41:15,980 --> 01:41:17,080
I want more proof.

1258
01:41:23,520 --> 01:41:24,520
Nice.

1259
01:41:24,900 --> 01:41:25,900
Thank you.

1260
01:41:27,440 --> 01:41:31,520
You see, I think that there's only one
conclusive proof, don't you, Paul Mary?

1261
01:41:32,820 --> 01:41:37,680
And that means off with the trousers and
let's see the entrance to hell.

1262
01:41:38,160 --> 01:41:40,660
No. Come on, come on, come on, come on,
come on!

1263
01:41:40,900 --> 01:41:42,720
Get back! This is a police checkpoint.

1264
01:41:43,040 --> 01:41:44,040
Get your papers out.

1265
01:42:00,840 --> 01:42:01,840
Well, I can't see a thing.

1266
01:42:02,960 --> 01:42:05,180
Come on, we can't see what you got to
show us.

1267
01:42:06,040 --> 01:42:10,400
Come on, Flemish bitch, I want the only
proof that'll convince me, convince us

1268
01:42:10,400 --> 01:42:11,400
all. No!

1269
01:42:45,230 --> 01:42:46,230
all they've taken.

1270
01:43:20,810 --> 01:43:23,550
I've been waiting here for four days.

1271
01:43:24,690 --> 01:43:27,570
I need a clean shirt and a bath.

1272
01:43:29,090 --> 01:43:30,410
I have a wife.

1273
01:43:31,130 --> 01:43:32,270
Two children.

1274
01:43:33,570 --> 01:43:35,050
Let me phone her.

1275
01:43:35,610 --> 01:43:37,850
She'll be going frantic.

1276
01:43:40,950 --> 01:43:44,210
Let me send her a telegram.

1277
01:43:45,230 --> 01:43:49,710
Home for dinner, darling. Home for
dinner.

1278
01:43:50,270 --> 01:43:56,070
Home for dinner, darling. I've been
waiting here for five days.

1279
01:43:56,350 --> 01:43:59,270
I need a clean shirt and a bath.

1280
01:43:59,910 --> 01:44:02,130
I have a wife and two children.

1281
01:44:02,790 --> 01:44:04,650
Let me phone her.

1282
01:44:05,790 --> 01:44:10,230
She'll be going frantic. Let me send her
a telegram.

1283
01:44:11,230 --> 01:44:15,690
Home for dinner, darling. That's all I
need to say.

1284
01:44:15,890 --> 01:44:18,810
I've been waiting here for six days.

1285
01:44:19,900 --> 01:44:22,380
I need a clean shirt and a bath.

1286
01:44:23,300 --> 01:44:24,340
I have a wife.

1287
01:44:25,020 --> 01:44:26,020
Two children.

1288
01:44:26,560 --> 01:44:29,760
Let me phone her. Let me... She'll be
going frantic.

1289
01:44:30,440 --> 01:44:32,540
Let me send her a telegram.

1290
01:44:36,540 --> 01:44:37,960
Home. Home.

1291
01:44:39,060 --> 01:44:40,060
Dinner.

1292
01:44:41,200 --> 01:44:42,200
Done.

1293
01:44:44,100 --> 01:44:47,340
I've been waiting here for... For seven
days.

1294
01:44:49,130 --> 01:44:51,510
I need a clean shirt and a bath.

1295
01:44:52,570 --> 01:44:55,270
I have a wife and two children.

1296
01:44:56,110 --> 01:44:57,530
Let me phone her.

1297
01:44:58,410 --> 01:44:59,730
She'll be going frantic.

1298
01:45:00,170 --> 01:45:01,810
Let me send her a telegram.

1299
01:45:02,130 --> 01:45:03,990
Home or dinner.

1300
01:45:04,530 --> 01:45:08,030
Done. I've been here for eight days.

1301
01:45:09,730 --> 01:45:13,310
I need a clean shirt and a bath.

1302
01:45:15,150 --> 01:45:16,430
I have a wife.

1303
01:45:17,840 --> 01:45:18,900
And two children.

1304
01:45:20,240 --> 01:45:23,380
Let me phone her. She'll be frantic.

1305
01:45:24,720 --> 01:45:28,500
What the hell? What the hell? What the
hell? What the hell?

1306
01:45:28,780 --> 01:45:30,340
What the hell?

1307
01:45:31,040 --> 01:45:32,840
What the hell?

1308
01:45:33,340 --> 01:45:36,880
Bloody hell, Percy. What the fuck are
you doing?

1309
01:45:39,640 --> 01:45:41,640
And who the hell's your friend?

1310
01:45:42,100 --> 01:45:43,240
In uniform.

1311
01:45:44,340 --> 01:45:46,640
Smiling his socks off with his...

1312
01:45:46,910 --> 01:45:48,870
Gun held up so tightly.

1313
01:45:49,290 --> 01:45:50,470
This is Paul Marion.

1314
01:45:50,910 --> 01:45:51,950
He's a friend.

1315
01:45:52,450 --> 01:45:53,650
He's an admirer.

1316
01:45:54,150 --> 01:45:56,330
And he is a fellow officer.

1317
01:45:56,790 --> 01:45:57,890
Fellow officer?

1318
01:45:58,450 --> 01:45:59,470
He's a dentist.

1319
01:46:00,190 --> 01:46:01,690
Well, of course he's a dentist.

1320
01:46:02,210 --> 01:46:05,390
How do you know he's a dentist? I have
intruded.

1321
01:46:05,690 --> 01:46:06,850
That's right, you have.

1322
01:46:07,290 --> 01:46:08,330
But what the hell?

1323
01:46:08,890 --> 01:46:12,690
You've seen the inside of my mouth, so
what the hell have I got to hide?

1324
01:46:13,610 --> 01:46:18,560
Lying on your dentist's... Slab for half
an hour in a room full of slow clocks.

1325
01:46:18,880 --> 01:46:21,620
Time ticks so swiftly when you're
amused.

1326
01:46:23,460 --> 01:46:27,400
What does that mean? It means that this
is the second time that sleep in the

1327
01:46:27,400 --> 01:46:28,640
dentist with bedfellas.

1328
01:46:28,860 --> 01:46:29,860
What?

1329
01:46:31,080 --> 01:46:32,260
What is that smell?

1330
01:46:32,520 --> 01:46:33,580
Don't you like it?

1331
01:46:34,400 --> 01:46:37,460
I can't stand it, but I'm covered in it.

1332
01:46:37,780 --> 01:46:40,920
Must be a hotel specialty, mustn't it,
Paul Marion?

1333
01:46:41,770 --> 01:46:46,050
A cover for all the bad little smells of
the Belgian National Socialist Party.

1334
01:46:47,650 --> 01:46:50,230
Have you been buying my wife perfume,
Paul Marion?

1335
01:46:51,310 --> 01:46:55,750
That? That is the same as adultery in my
country, Paul Marion. Oh, showing off.

1336
01:46:55,890 --> 01:46:57,110
Utah again, Percy.

1337
01:46:57,310 --> 01:46:59,630
Now, Percy is a patriot.

1338
01:46:59,910 --> 01:47:01,770
Well, I think we all should be patriots.

1339
01:47:02,230 --> 01:47:05,890
Standing there in his U.S. of A.
dressing gown on inside.

1340
01:47:07,230 --> 01:47:10,490
I buy your perfume.

1341
01:47:11,790 --> 01:47:16,770
You do not buy my wife's fucking scent.
Jesus, the master perfumer speaks in

1342
01:47:16,770 --> 01:47:19,890
line. Don't fucking tell me I'm alive.

1343
01:47:20,110 --> 01:47:22,330
The scent is very, very personal.

1344
01:47:22,730 --> 01:47:25,790
I bet it is. Try sniffing Percy's
armpits when he's been drinking.

1345
01:47:28,510 --> 01:47:34,190
I buy the smells. Oh, leave him alone,
Percy. He's only the dentist.

1346
01:47:35,190 --> 01:47:37,470
But guess who I've seen today?

1347
01:47:39,660 --> 01:47:40,880
I've been watching you, Paul Marion.

1348
01:47:41,120 --> 01:47:42,099
We all will.

1349
01:47:42,100 --> 01:47:44,840
I like being watched.

1350
01:47:45,460 --> 01:47:47,680
I've just seen the man from the desert.

1351
01:47:48,220 --> 01:47:50,260
The guy with the honey, honey prick.

1352
01:47:52,020 --> 01:47:53,380
Paul Marion, you better go.

1353
01:47:53,820 --> 01:47:55,700
My wife's dreaming. Dreaming?

1354
01:47:56,040 --> 01:47:59,660
Yes, I'm dreaming. You brought a bloody
Belgian dentist in my room to watch me

1355
01:47:59,660 --> 01:48:01,580
sleeping. I'd better be dreaming. Shut
up!

1356
01:48:03,120 --> 01:48:04,700
Get out, Paul Marion.

1357
01:48:05,140 --> 01:48:09,180
Yep. Get on the scent, dentist man.
Thank you, Percy, for the...

1358
01:48:13,679 --> 01:48:19,280
Excitement. You damn coward!

1359
01:48:20,480 --> 01:48:24,680
He got me into an ambush with his Jew
boy cousin. I doubt it.

1360
01:48:25,280 --> 01:48:27,560
But he's a man who knows his death
smells.

1361
01:48:28,220 --> 01:48:30,820
Ether, ammonia chloride, xylone B.

1362
01:48:31,120 --> 01:48:32,580
I can't stand gas.

1363
01:48:33,300 --> 01:48:34,860
Can you stand gas, Percy?

1364
01:48:35,740 --> 01:48:36,780
Gives me nightmares.

1365
01:48:40,930 --> 01:48:44,150
I'm interested in becoming the ideal
jailer. And what's that when he's at

1366
01:48:44,150 --> 01:48:47,410
home? He's never at home. He's always at
the jailhouse. Jailhouse is his home.

1367
01:48:47,570 --> 01:48:49,390
And the jailer's as much a prisoner as
the prisoner.

1368
01:48:49,610 --> 01:48:52,430
The ideal prisoner and the ideal jailer
are interchangeable.

1369
01:48:57,950 --> 01:49:01,990
Am I the ideal prisoner? You're a spy
and an enemy of Belgium.

1370
01:49:02,290 --> 01:49:03,290
Nothing takes improving.

1371
01:49:03,910 --> 01:49:05,650
Now here's an imperfect jailer.

1372
01:49:05,990 --> 01:49:07,890
I would like to word with the prisoner.

1373
01:49:10,090 --> 01:49:11,090
I know him.

1374
01:49:13,670 --> 01:49:15,570
I'd like to speak to him in private.

1375
01:49:16,730 --> 01:49:18,430
You see, it's a domestic matter.

1376
01:49:43,150 --> 01:49:44,150
Go on, get out!

1377
01:49:58,250 --> 01:50:03,330
I see you still have your little
suitcase.

1378
01:50:04,350 --> 01:50:05,350
What's in it this time?

1379
01:50:13,000 --> 01:50:14,000
And that?

1380
01:50:14,800 --> 01:50:19,140
If I've typed it, you said it. What the
hell are you doing that for?

1381
01:50:19,960 --> 01:50:22,380
Order. I'm trying to incriminate Mr.
Looper.

1382
01:50:23,180 --> 01:50:25,860
It seems to me you're trying to
incriminate us.

1383
01:50:26,800 --> 01:50:28,680
And you should try to be more careful.

1384
01:50:29,300 --> 01:50:33,300
How come you got all these little sand
bottles in your little suitcase?

1385
01:50:34,460 --> 01:50:35,740
I never put them there.

1386
01:50:36,620 --> 01:50:42,740
How come you got all these bottles of my
wife covered in the damn...

1387
01:50:43,519 --> 01:50:44,519
How come?

1388
01:50:44,620 --> 01:50:45,720
You bastard!

1389
01:50:48,140 --> 01:50:53,880
How come, Percy, you and I always
conduct our affairs like gentlemen?

1390
01:51:01,440 --> 01:51:05,220
How is it you have the energy for all
this pent-up friendship?

1391
01:51:08,280 --> 01:51:09,380
Is it the uniform?

1392
01:51:12,270 --> 01:51:14,710
Oh, the hell of kicking a bound man.

1393
01:51:22,470 --> 01:51:22,990
Look

1394
01:51:22,990 --> 01:51:31,130
at

1395
01:51:31,130 --> 01:51:32,130
the mall.

1396
01:51:32,470 --> 01:51:37,050
How the hell am I going to keep this
beautiful station in order with foreign

1397
01:51:37,050 --> 01:51:38,430
lout like you let it loose?

1398
01:51:38,650 --> 01:51:40,250
I am not a foreign lout.

1399
01:51:40,590 --> 01:51:43,990
You just watch your tongue, Frenchie.
But it's better and better.

1400
01:51:44,450 --> 01:51:51,170
Me, Belgian, France, always around the
country.

1401
01:51:52,650 --> 01:51:56,550
But a considerable sight more civilized
than you come from, Yankee.

1402
01:51:56,990 --> 01:52:00,070
I am not a Yankee, you stuck shirt.

1403
01:52:05,550 --> 01:52:08,010
Just why do you want to defound this
dog?

1404
01:52:08,460 --> 01:52:11,080
This English spy and his Jewish friends?

1405
01:52:12,660 --> 01:52:14,700
Start. He's got more manners.

1406
01:52:17,640 --> 01:52:22,080
Prove to me you're not a Jew, Mr.
Station Master.

1407
01:52:23,460 --> 01:52:26,520
How are you going to defend your fascist
honor?

1408
01:52:26,880 --> 01:52:30,240
You cunts. You little Americans.

1409
01:52:31,440 --> 01:52:32,440
Shit!

1410
01:53:17,390 --> 01:53:19,950
You're a ghast in a foreign country,
Percy.

1411
01:53:20,950 --> 01:53:25,450
You cannot go around beating people up
like you can in Utah, USA.

1412
01:53:26,070 --> 01:53:27,290
You're lucky, sir.

1413
01:53:28,250 --> 01:53:30,990
Your wife knows a good dish.

1414
01:53:36,190 --> 01:53:38,210
We found him!

1415
01:53:39,030 --> 01:53:40,970
Found who?

1416
01:53:41,230 --> 01:53:42,230
Remember him?

1417
01:53:42,680 --> 01:53:47,160
That pearly-teeth English boy with the
smiling eyes and the bulging pocket?

1418
01:53:47,400 --> 01:53:48,400
Pocket?

1419
01:53:48,900 --> 01:53:50,860
He's here!

1420
01:53:51,320 --> 01:53:54,300
They got him for upsetting the Belgian
Coast Guard.

1421
01:53:56,340 --> 01:53:57,340
Who's that?

1422
01:53:58,160 --> 01:53:59,500
Just some homework.

1423
01:54:00,100 --> 01:54:04,320
What's he been doing to upset the Coast
Guard? Making sandcastles?

1424
01:54:08,900 --> 01:54:11,140
A Dutch fat whore.

1425
01:54:11,680 --> 01:54:16,120
Mind of a sewer, body of a baby, ego
like a tank.

1426
01:54:17,280 --> 01:54:20,200
She thinks she's from Soviet Mata Hari.

1427
01:54:20,460 --> 01:54:22,120
Her body smells of carp.

1428
01:54:23,200 --> 01:54:28,900
She has so much backside and frontside,
she doesn't know which side she's on.

1429
01:54:29,420 --> 01:54:33,960
But she knows this hotel like a postman.

1430
01:54:34,480 --> 01:54:37,700
I bet she delivered a French letter in
every room.

1431
01:54:38,090 --> 01:54:39,710
She's obviously made a big impression.

1432
01:54:40,090 --> 01:54:41,170
On the bed springs.

1433
01:54:41,630 --> 01:54:44,150
She eats like a sperm whale.

1434
01:54:44,890 --> 01:54:47,310
Mouth all gaping white.

1435
01:54:48,110 --> 01:54:53,230
She's a monstrous vulva. But a nice
little rectum for an orifice that's used

1436
01:54:53,230 --> 01:54:54,290
to excess from within.

1437
01:54:54,610 --> 01:54:59,630
I knew you'd find something to like. I
sometimes wonder, Passion, how you think

1438
01:54:59,630 --> 01:55:00,630
you got born.

1439
01:55:00,870 --> 01:55:04,130
Mother probably wondered that too, too,
too.

1440
01:55:05,610 --> 01:55:06,710
Get him moved.

1441
01:55:07,440 --> 01:55:09,580
Got who moved? The Englishman.

1442
01:55:10,380 --> 01:55:11,920
In a room next to mine.

1443
01:55:12,400 --> 01:55:13,398
Drive the guard.

1444
01:55:13,400 --> 01:55:15,480
Ming the guard. Kill the guard.

1445
01:55:15,980 --> 01:55:16,980
Jesus,

1446
01:55:17,540 --> 01:55:18,540
what has he got?

1447
01:55:18,680 --> 01:55:21,300
You know what he got. You know what he
got.

1448
01:55:21,620 --> 01:55:23,200
And what about Percy?

1449
01:55:25,080 --> 01:55:27,720
He's out talking to you like a center
dentist.

1450
01:55:28,400 --> 01:55:29,400
Who is this?

1451
01:55:30,600 --> 01:55:31,600
My daughter.

1452
01:55:31,660 --> 01:55:32,660
Your daughter?

1453
01:55:32,900 --> 01:55:34,260
How did she get here?

1454
01:55:34,600 --> 01:55:35,600
You see?

1455
01:55:35,760 --> 01:55:37,400
They all ask the same question.

1456
01:55:37,600 --> 01:55:39,780
I'm sure she's not being anatomical.

1457
01:55:40,160 --> 01:55:42,140
Pleased to meet you, senora.

1458
01:55:42,440 --> 01:55:47,160
Senora. Jesus, she's not royalty,
Gretchen. And she's not Spanish.

1459
01:55:47,660 --> 01:55:49,620
She's German-American.

1460
01:55:49,860 --> 01:55:51,960
It's a new patriotic breed.

1461
01:55:52,200 --> 01:55:55,240
So patriotic they lust after the enemy.

1462
01:55:55,560 --> 01:55:58,780
Thank you. My father has a proposition.

1463
01:55:59,980 --> 01:56:03,760
He stops you to the station, master, for
illegally soliciting on his station.

1464
01:56:04,460 --> 01:56:10,410
Or... You get me the keys to... Or...
You get me the keys to... Or... You get

1465
01:56:10,410 --> 01:56:13,390
me the keys to... That doesn't sound
like a very... You get me the keys to

1466
01:56:13,390 --> 01:56:15,330
his prime prisoner. Mr. Looper, no
contest.

1467
01:56:15,890 --> 01:56:17,470
How do you want me to do it?

1468
01:56:17,930 --> 01:56:19,530
Can I wear a disguise?

1469
01:56:19,970 --> 01:56:21,210
Je peux porter un déguisement?

1470
01:56:24,210 --> 01:56:26,870
How do you know Looper is Van Huyten's
prime prisoner?

1471
01:56:27,550 --> 01:56:29,810
Like most people? I read newspaper.

1472
01:56:30,430 --> 01:56:32,490
Mr. Looper writes in the London
newspaper.

1473
01:56:33,200 --> 01:56:34,900
And appears in a Belgian newspaper?

1474
01:56:35,200 --> 01:56:36,200
What? Belgian newspaper?

1475
01:56:37,760 --> 01:56:38,760
What?

1476
01:56:39,880 --> 01:56:44,060
A famous English journalist helps the
Belgians in their investigations.

1477
01:56:44,840 --> 01:56:48,060
So, I can get to wear a disguise.

1478
01:56:50,240 --> 01:56:51,620
You'd sure to be recognized.

1479
01:56:51,980 --> 01:56:56,700
You could derail a train or seduce the
jailers. Derail a train is simple.

1480
01:56:57,120 --> 01:56:59,120
But I can't stand those two idiots.

1481
01:56:59,820 --> 01:57:03,320
One is so itchy, and besides, I believe
he slept with my mother.

1482
01:57:03,760 --> 01:57:06,140
The other one, so polished.

1483
01:57:08,980 --> 01:57:09,540
Sophie

1484
01:57:09,540 --> 01:57:22,080
was

1485
01:57:22,080 --> 01:57:26,540
the source of information for this
incident, and Martino was her greatest

1486
01:57:26,540 --> 01:57:27,600
current interest.

1487
01:57:27,950 --> 01:57:32,350
Martino always had a predilection for
plump women in light underwear wearing

1488
01:57:32,350 --> 01:57:33,850
guns. Oh, that...

1489
01:58:02,440 --> 01:58:03,440
Don't bother.

1490
01:58:03,680 --> 01:58:04,780
Bound to make it worse.

1491
01:58:05,100 --> 01:58:06,100
Guilty!

1492
01:58:07,640 --> 01:58:08,640
Okay, Marty.

1493
01:58:08,840 --> 01:58:10,720
What have you learned to mop floors?

1494
01:58:21,000 --> 01:58:22,620
Sophie's got the bathroom key.

1495
01:58:29,700 --> 01:58:30,700
Isn't she clever?

1496
01:58:31,610 --> 01:58:34,310
There surely is. We have a plan to get
you out of here.

1497
01:58:34,630 --> 01:58:37,650
But first, you've got to tell me
everything that's happened.

1498
01:58:38,070 --> 01:58:39,570
Well, first you get me out and then I
tell.

1499
01:58:39,790 --> 01:58:41,750
No, first tell, then escape.

1500
01:58:42,110 --> 01:58:43,250
Bloody El Marti.

1501
01:58:44,010 --> 01:58:45,210
Oh, bloody.

1502
01:58:45,930 --> 01:58:48,430
It seems Martino got his way.

1503
01:58:49,170 --> 01:58:52,410
But Martino Nocivelli was a great
inventor of tales.

1504
01:58:53,190 --> 01:58:56,830
He might well have embroidered the
stories about the retrieval of the keys

1505
01:58:56,830 --> 01:59:00,950
to find a way to equal the sensational
details of Luper's imprisonment.

1506
01:59:02,030 --> 01:59:07,890
If he wanted to be the Martino Nocivelli
Boswell to Pulse Looper's Dr. Johnson,

1507
01:59:08,290 --> 01:59:13,930
he was not averse to inventing some
back-up, long, tall storytelling of his

1508
01:59:13,930 --> 01:59:16,610
own. What are you doing? Taking notes.

1509
01:59:18,050 --> 01:59:20,850
Oh, excuse me. The Moab worm.

1510
01:59:26,370 --> 01:59:31,120
It would appear... The Danforth railway
station was a stamping ground of

1511
01:59:31,120 --> 01:59:34,380
ambiguities, and although we might wish
it otherwise,

1512
01:59:35,200 --> 01:59:38,900
Luper might not have been the centre of
them, considering the big events about

1513
01:59:38,900 --> 01:59:41,380
to affect Belgium from across the German
border.

1514
01:59:42,820 --> 01:59:47,880
But consider that there were two Luper
lookalikes, one trapped in a bathroom

1515
01:59:47,880 --> 01:59:50,680
and one trapped in a lost property
office.

1516
01:59:51,460 --> 01:59:55,560
Luper had always told Martino that
looking for that which was lost was to

1517
01:59:55,560 --> 01:59:57,080
be his lifetime ambition.

1518
01:59:58,190 --> 02:00:01,150
Here, he had perhaps almost found
himself.

1519
02:00:02,110 --> 02:00:08,010
It must be said that in the station
records, it was sometimes difficult to

1520
02:00:08,010 --> 02:00:12,850
distinguish which looper look-alike was
which, and this confusion, of course,

1521
02:00:13,050 --> 02:00:15,030
was to certain people's advantage.

1522
02:00:15,490 --> 02:00:18,670
I've been here for seven days.

1523
02:00:19,490 --> 02:00:21,730
It's Sunday, for God's sake!

1524
02:00:22,400 --> 02:00:26,680
What have I done but jumped off a moving
train? What have I done but jumped off a

1525
02:00:26,680 --> 02:00:27,680
moving train? You're right.

1526
02:00:28,380 --> 02:00:30,180
You're right, my folks.

1527
02:00:31,140 --> 02:00:33,180
Now, let me go.

1528
02:00:33,960 --> 02:00:34,960
I'm hungry.

1529
02:00:36,520 --> 02:00:37,520
Feed me.

1530
02:00:38,300 --> 02:00:39,300
A sausage.

1531
02:00:40,760 --> 02:00:42,640
An antwerp onion.

1532
02:00:46,410 --> 02:00:51,270
The station seemed to be a stage for all
manner of mysteries, imaginary journeys,

1533
02:00:51,470 --> 02:00:54,530
ambiguous incidents, and open-ended
conspiracies.

1534
02:00:55,090 --> 02:00:59,890
To provide a background to capture an
ideal, elusive likeness of Luperon

1535
02:00:59,890 --> 02:01:05,630
Celluloid, a photographic representation
of this man for various purposes, some

1536
02:01:05,630 --> 02:01:10,490
of them political, some of them sexual,
some of them symbolic, to aid and abet

1537
02:01:10,490 --> 02:01:11,610
these conspiracies.

1538
02:01:12,080 --> 02:01:16,440
There always seemed to be an excess of
willing women, slapped faces, cleaning

1539
02:01:16,440 --> 02:01:18,920
fluids and dubious dentistry.

1540
02:01:20,180 --> 02:01:25,340
But some characters were beginning to
outlive their usefulness, though we do

1541
02:01:25,340 --> 02:01:30,760
not know whether there was a series of
conspiracies or one big conspiracy to

1542
02:01:30,760 --> 02:01:33,020
get rid of these undesirables.

1543
02:01:33,520 --> 02:01:35,440
The man is a liability.

1544
02:01:37,280 --> 02:01:38,420
He's the wolf.

1545
02:01:39,340 --> 02:01:40,318
Not the fox.

1546
02:01:40,320 --> 02:01:41,680
He has too long to live.

1547
02:01:42,520 --> 02:01:44,700
He dribbles when he's excited.

1548
02:01:45,500 --> 02:01:48,760
He's subtle, but an avalanche in name.

1549
02:01:49,220 --> 02:01:50,400
He's a monster.

1550
02:01:51,000 --> 02:01:52,240
A monster.

1551
02:01:53,800 --> 02:01:57,420
And we just don't need such monsters,
Eric.

1552
02:01:58,580 --> 02:02:00,100
They belong in the sea.

1553
02:02:00,880 --> 02:02:03,940
Or... the morgue.

1554
02:02:06,900 --> 02:02:07,900
Or...

1555
02:02:08,780 --> 02:02:10,160
in an American war.

1556
02:02:11,200 --> 02:02:17,760
We put him in a Russian novel, a railway
novel about impotence.
