Taxi

Can I get a car to Varvsgatan 8?

Linden

Concert. The pianist Erik Linden
is giving a concert

in the prison church at Långholmen's Prison

Sunday 28th Oct 1942 at 3 15 pm
March ahead at 2 45 pm

No

No

No no

I can't stand this

I don't want

284 should be calm

Excuse me

I want to go down

Yes,thank you Mr Linden
once again, Mr Linden

On behalf of both myself and others

By all means

Excuse me, Director Holmqvist

I hope you don't mind if I ask but ..

Who was the person

The one you mean

284?

-That interruption?-Yes

I just thought he looked like

Thomas Dahlhoff

The pianist

Yes

Yes, you were probably
seeing correctly, Mr Linden

Really

Yes, he disappeared so
suddenly from concert life

Yes, it's probably a couple
of years ago now

About three years ago, yes

That was a terrible story

Yes

Yes, attempted murder

Yes

Say,would it not be possible

to visit him?

Well, you see, Mr. Linden

Dahlhoff refuses to accept visits

Oh really

The only one he has talked to

and it was only a
couple of times these years

That is Mr Hellenius

His former impresario,
as far as I know

-Well
-Yes

I have offered him on some occasions
to use the piano in the church hall here

But he has never
used that permit

Will it be a long time
before he is released?

No,let's see if I remember correctly

I'll look it up

He will be free

On the 21st

Sorry I don't want to be intrusive

If you are you from the
press,leave me alone

Excuse me, Mr Dahlhoff,
I was the one who played

in there,a couple of weeks ago

My name is Linden

Oh really

Yes, of course

Yes,Beethoven's Appassionata

Sorry I interrupted the performance

-Good bye
-Mr. Dahlhoff

Please don't take offence

I do not want to be tactless
or intrusive at all,but

but I couldn't help waiting for you here

-What do you want then?
-I..- Curious,eh?

Or perhaps you want to know

what I thought of your piano playing?

I know that I am still very
limited in my abilities

No, it was not about that,well

I just want to tell you that

We who admire you

We have not forgotten you

Very touching

Have you got a cigarette?

Thanks

Well

Now,what impression do I make on you ?

Shabby looking, eh?

Yes, look at my hands

Stiff fingers

Fini

Well, your touch is pretty good

Maybe a bit impersonal

Slightly chilly

But

That's rather natural

-How old are you?
-23

Are you that young?

Then you have had too few disappointments

Without disappointments you cannot grow

Become human

And even less becoming an artist

Yes, yes I say

And one is getting very fond of talking
when you are coming from there

There is no one meeting Mr Dahlhoff?

No

Say

Couldn't we go and
talk somewhere else

-Mr ..
-Linden-Mr. Linden yes

We could talk about anything

Mr Dahlhoff wouldn't mind
coming to my house and have a chat?

-Home to you?

Sure, why not?

Alright

Forget

How do you really think that would happen?

I've tried it now

For three years

Day after day, night after night

Hour after hour

And the day has 24 hours

You notice this best when you
sit between four cell walls

And the same question keeps popping up

Why?

Six steps forward

Six steps back

Why?

Why?

How could I understand
why it ended like this?

Whose fault was it?

Weakness doesn't fit together

Break everything again

Finally

Again, again

Until you get mad

That was a delightful young lady

Is that your fiancée?

No, not at all

Met her by chance
in Switzerland last winter

So she's foreign?

No, not at all, she's Swedish

Do you want to hear how it started?

That puzzle

Yes,please

It was

in Cannes

Towards the end of the season

In Salle de concert

I was at my top at that time

I was a great pianist

One of the best

I had a funny habit

A mania,you could call it

When I played,
I always used to pick someone

Mostly a woman

She was a beautiful small woman

So I played for her

As if we were alone

She and I.

You,Dahlhoff, the interval is soon finished
(The actor speaks with Scanian dialect used with comic effects at that time)

One is in a good shape tonight ,
one could say, heh?

Yes, thank you, I saw her

Nice red hair

So she had that? I didn't see that

What?

I didn't even notice the
colour of her eyes

But she's adorable

Well thank you

As long as a man sees
beautiful eyes pretty legs

And so on

That's all right

But when the details disappear

In the general haze of enchantment

Then there are dangers ahead

If you now listen when
I play the Chopin waltz

Then you will understand
how adorable she is

Yes,yes,yes

No, but Dahlhoff, you shouldn't stand
here in the middle of the audience

No, it's impossible I've
interviewed every single person

from the director to
the lady in the toilets

And no one knows her?

No, of course not, come along
you madcap, we must get some food

The train to Paris leaves
early tomorrow morning

Well,it does?

But Dahlhoff forgot

that you have a concert the day
after tomorrow in Salle Pleyel

I'm not going to Paris

No, as I'm staying here

For fourteen days, the whole day,
from the morning to the evening

We have searched like bloodhounds

After that person,everywhere

On the promenade,in the casino at the cafes

In the shops

Have you become insane, Dahlhoff?

You behave like you could not
live without that lass

Don't talk so much, Hellenius

Don't talk so much

How long will it take before
you learn to understand something

Understand? Damned,what shall
I understand?

That I'm in love

In love, my dear Hellenius

In love?

Thanks

Just what was needed

Stop producing such noises

-I am singing
-You are singing?

Then stop singing

You are in terrible mood today

You must behave like an adult

Or are you not an adult?

By the way, you have a contract with me

Unfortunately

Well, that's being grateful

I've had an angel's patience

We'd been wasting eight days here in Cannes

And I had to postpone two concerts in Paris

Wouldn't that be enough?

Damned, it's not my fault that you

can't find the girl

Will you please listen to me

I abide by your
damned contract terms

That's correct

But I will play lousy

You should know that, lousy

Well, you see,in the end
everything will be fine

Oh my God

What is it?

Nothing, nothing at all

This is pure madness

No, Dahlhoff, Dahlhoff

God heavens, you can't just back out

The train is leaving, you are mad

No, but wait, Dahlhoff

Finally

-You
-Who are you? What do you want?

Thomas, it's insane,
it's pure insanity, Thomas

That's crazy

Mr. Dahlhoff

My God how I've been looking for you

But Mr Dahlhoff

We had found her

No

I don't want to remember anything more

A banal story

No, now I'm leaving and
I will not bother you anymore

You see,it's been such a long
time since I talked to anyone.

And you became the victim

You can only blame yourself

May I call upon
Mr Dahlhoff ?

Of course you can,
I should hear you playing

Come when you like

-Aunt
-Who? What, are we already there?

What if you have never flown before

No, no it's time again

The eternal medicines

Yes, but Aunt feels much better
since Aunt started with these tablets

Better? Imagination, dear child,
like everything in this world

You imagine that you are happy
or that you are unhappy

healthy or that you are sick ,that you are
crafty or stupid, thank you

Thanks

But

This trip to Stockholm

It must definitely
be a terrible stupidity

But all people

Are maneuvering me exactly as they want

Both you and the doctors

Yes Auntie is so kind

Yes I am, you know that, I'm way
too kind, you can be assured of that

But Aunt must understand that I
need to know how he is doing now

You are crazy, he hasn't produced
a single word for three whole years

Yes, it doesn't matter

Well, it doesn't matter, hm, hm

Well, but what about that
young man in Davos ,Erik

My God, not remebering names

Have you telegraphed him
and told him you were coming?

No

Why not?

So he was just a small winter flirt ?

And you want me to believe that

No, but I want first to talk with Thomas

Divorce,finally a sensible word

But

Anyway, I don't like
this Stockholm trip

That fellow, Dahlhoff

He is not a human being

He's a man-eater

Good day, good day dear Jönsson

Good day, Director

What is the barometer showing today?

Not good at all, Director, not good at all

He has not spoken a
word to me for the whole day

And you know, Mr Hellenius, sometimes
I think it's really awful

And he never goes out until it's dark

The breakfast egg was
left untouched today as well

That's almost the most annoying thing

It's going to be fine,
we'll see, it's going to be fine

Anywhow he's playing,always something

Bravo

Bravo

Yes it's pointless, it's
completely pointless

Anyway,it's not possible

Well, just be patient

90% of all success consists of patience

The rest is advertising

Oh my God what is that?

Tunes from the other side

You have always had a weakness
for theatrical effects

Are you now enjoying acting
in the tragical resigned role?

Please, spare me such phrases

Not badly played,eh?

You have to admit that

Who will do that after me?

Nobody

And now

Yes, you have to do something about it

About what?

Yes you have to

You must let your art live

Give it to others, of your experience
and your knowledge

Pupils? What? No thanks

Young idiots with illusions and idealism

Let the good Lord protects us

Yes, this is simply your duty

Sorry, what did you say?

-Duty?
-Yes

You can throw yourself away,
if that is on your mind

But not that which you can teach others

Not your art

You can hear for yourself how much
is left of my art

But in any case, you need money

Sooner or later

How much do I owe you?

Owe me?

Owe me? That's
not what we're talking about

Yes

Yes, I'm doing it for
your own good

Don't you understand that?

You see,that would do you good

Yes, yes I must dash off

But think about what I've said

You

And another thing

Eat your breakfast egg

Because otherwise you will
drive Jönsson to insanity

Goodbye to you

- Well, Hellenius?
- Yes,what is it?

Have you heard anything from her?

No but

She's fine

So

Yes, it was a relative of hers

A lady from Gothenburg who
took care of her when

Yes, three years ago

She's fine

Don't you think it would be best for you to

Avoid that topic

Once and for all

Maybe so

Goodbye to you

Thanks we can stay here

Would you please wait a while

He is good
Terrific!!

Damned

Do you hear me?

You really are damned talented

Yes I know that

Oh yes, oh yes he who
laughs last laughs best

There is still a lot to learn

And I will make it hard

I am expecting that

Yes, that was not bad at
all this, well then

Is that you, Maria?

Yes, Auntie

Come here and have a look

You know, such a nice hat,
you can still find it in Paris

Did you meet him, the man-eater?

No

I just heard him

Did you hear him?

-Yes,Lisa,please
-Madam, what a dress do you want?

One who suits me, dear
Lisa, one who suits me

Did you hear him?

Yes, but what did you mean by that?

I heard him play

And I didn't want to disturb him

He never liked being
disturbed while working

He played wonderful

He's got over everything now

Yes, but the divorce then? You should talk
to him about the divorce, dear child

I couldn't, Auntie

I daren't

Daren't?

When he was convicted, you could have
easily been freed from him

But at that time, you daren't

As he ever took into consideration
anyone other than himself

And now, no I don't understand,
I don't understand you

I don't want to hurt Thomas

Auntie, don't you understand?

No, but what about Erik?
You don't think of him at all

That's the worst thing I've ever heard

Have mercy for that man-eating egoist

So you're going to sacrifice everything
your whole future, that's madness

Do you like Erik?

Please Aunt

Do you want to marry him?

-Of course but
-Then damn you ,you should do it

To separate yourself from that
man-eater, that will be my task

But

To begin with

So we can can enjoy our time with dear Erik

Yes it was really a enjoyable evening

Oh what I

Yes, please excuse me

Yes, it has really become late

Oh no but not for you two,no

Yes, good night, good night

But Auntie

Yes, yes, I will not forget the tablets

Yes Erik

Tell me a bit about yourself

How are you?

How are things going with your music?

Yes, not bad thank you

I have a new teacher,
an absolutely wonderful one

Fascinating man by the way

Yes, I'll tell you about that
another time

Maria

Are you not happy to meet me?

Yes

Of course I am, but

But?

No, no nothing,nothing

I love you, Maria

You probably think it's
weird that I've come

No, not at all, on the contrary

Nice that you wanted to visit me

Have you been in Stockholm for a long time?

No, just for a few days

When are you going to
start doing concerts again?

Well, you never know

The fingers are starting to work again but

As for the other things
it will take time

Well just be patient

Hellenius is after me like
a hunting dog that scents his prey

Yes, you know him

Yes, I know him

Pretty well

Well I remember, I remember, I remember

He has less lovable sides too

That fellow Hellenius

But it's just jealousy

He always regarded me
as his private property

There are people who

kind of

Man-eater,isn't it?

Man-eaters

Yes,that's right

Man-eaters

Can I give you something, if you want

Coffee or tea? Or do you want
a glass of wine maybe?

No thanks

Thomas

That's one thing I need
to talk to you about

I did not want to do it before

That time three years ago

It was perhaps misguided consideration

But I

You mean

Divorce?

Yes

It was kind of you, Maria, that you
did not demand it at that time

I fully understand you

And of course, I want to do completely
as you wish

Thanks Thomas

Thanks

We can still be good friends

What?

Yes, of course Thomas

-Of course
-Hm

- Goodbye, Thomas
-No,not goodbye

I have to see you again,
Maria, soon

You and your future

There's a future one,isn't it?

Yes

There is

Good luck

By the way, do not forget that
I want to meet you soon

Both of you

No

But heavens,it's already late

You understand,I have a student,

Can you imagine it?

But it's a talented boy,
a very talented boy

Otherwise, you would be damned
to be a piano teacher

Good day, good day, Linden

How are you today ?

Yes

Shall we start then?

What's the matter?

Who was just leaving?

My wife

Your wife?

Yes

Why?

I'm asking why?

Yes it was

Yes she

No,it was nothing

Nothing

Erik!

Is it because of you?

Respond

Is it because of you she
wants to divorce me?

Can't you hear that I'm asking!

Erik

Erik

Erik, you must not be angry with me

Yes, but I could not talk about it before

Yes you understand it was

it was like a millstone around my neck

I have to get out
of it and forget about it

No you can not understand how it has been

So it was because of you,he went to prison

How could it be like that?

How was it possible that this could happen?

Yes

How could it be like that?

I hardly know it myself

What has he said?

He just told me how it was
like when he first saw you

And how in you he found in a station

You have to tell me everything, Maria

I need to know the truth

The truth?

Yes

The truth how I see it

I was at the concert

After the Appassionata I had to leave

It was something

Something inside me like

Drove me away from there

I could not forget his playing

It both attracted me and repelled me

I do not know how
to explain it

Well I was frightened

Afraid of myself

A few days afterwards

I followed an acquaintance to the station

Mr. Dahlhoff

My God how I have been looking for you

What's your name?

Maria

Maria?

I never thought I would see you again

You have to marry me

Marry me? But Mr. Dahlhoff

You're afraid of me

Afraid?

No

I love you Maria

I can not live without you

But Mr. Dahlhoff

But Thomas ,good heavens

Come on

We have to take the flight from
Marseille, no, but Dahlhoff

Think about your concert

Dahlhoff

No

Yes

He was like that

You lost your breath

From that moment on,
I was no longer myself

I had no will of my own any more

And four weeks later

I was his wife

I was so young

Barely 19 years

And he was the great famous artist

He was used to always getting his way

So began a new life

Without a break

Just going on

Always on

Such a wonderful night

It would be..

Thomas

Why are you looking at me like that?

You're frightening me

Do you love me as before?

You know I'm fond of you

It's not enough

Like a "grande amour",very strong

Vibrate for me

You're a part of me

Belongs to me

With me, you understand best

I'll kill you

Thomas

I love you more than anything

Yes

I love you

There you have the truth

He could not live without me

But his love was frightening

It gave him no peace

It consumed him

Consumed him from within

Happy?

Certainly

Really?

It is not always noticeable

Yes

It's not always
easy to be married to

Thomas Dahlhoff

But, but, but, no

No one dared that

Before you

The genius has its own laws

First comes the art

Then comes nothing

For a long time, damned long time

Then comes himself

With a capital H

And then

Then comes the impressario

There will be no room left for the wife

Yes, that's exactly
what's dangerous,Mrs Dahlhoff

He loves you

It is a very big responsibility you have

I know that

They're crazy as usual

Headache? Now again?

He can not stand that

The banquet is waiting

The required banquet

That was the end of his
triumphal procession

Finally

And we came home to Stockholm

We came home

To his home

And mine

Did you still love him?

Yes

I loved him

But I had to defend
myself against that love

To be myself

To be a human being

And then one day I got a letter

It was from a childhood friend

His name was Gösta

I didn't love him
had never done that

That was not the reason why I met him

But because I had to do it

In defiance

It..

It was an evening, Thomas
had just left

It was not so easy for me to

Thomas absolutely wanted
me to go with him to Malmö

Since we got married

He has not wanted to be
without me for a single moment

You do not mean that you allow yourself
to be tyrannized in that way, do you?

Well, tyrannize

You misunderstand him

He is an unusual person

Yeah sure, genius huh?

It is clear that he is an ordinary
person and there's nothing more about it

Yes, but Gösta then

Are you happy, Maria?

I really want you to be happy

How nice you are, Gösta

Happy?

I don't know

But it feels sometimes

As if my life had
no meaning without him

Is that happiness?

Hello

Yes,hello?

Yes,good day Mr Dahlhoff

No

No,not yet

Yes,I don't know

Wait a minute, Mr Dahlhoff, please

She's probably coming now

Mr Dahlhoff is on the phone

He's called once before

Hello

Good day

I'm just coming home

At

At the cinema

Where else could I've been ?

How curious you are

"Le quai des brumes" with Gabin

What?

At ... at the Grand

Yes,of course who would I go with?

Hellenius perhaps

Yes,but I've said I was alone

Thomas,how irritated you are tonight

Hello

Hello

Yes

I lied

Totally

It was my first

How could I call it

My first attempt at revolt

Against his way of ruling over my life

Over every step I took

And then you fell in love with Gösta?

In love?

No,not at all

He was not like that

No

But I started meeting him more often

Than I had imagined from the start

Yes, I needed him

He was so

He was so simple

So soothing

Yes so uncomplicated

I had to feel

That I was a human with my own free will

That it was my right

In any case, I demanded it

And your husband?

Yes, in the beginning
everything was as before

He was in a good mood

A little less dictatorial than usual

Or maybe it was me
imaging it

But then suddenly

I noticed that there was
something brooding

Hellenius complained that you're
getting so nervous lately, Thomas

That you can notice it on your playing

Maybe you should take
a break and travel away and rest

Your concerts may be
getting too close to each other

Do you remember that
night when I called from Malmö?

Yes

Of course

You said you had seen

"Le quai des brumes" with Gabin

-At the Grand
-Yes

It was not running at the Grand that week

But you may not have noticed

Thomas

Thomas

What do you want?

Someone
broke up my bureau

Yes

You!

What right have you

I wanted to know my wife's
secrets

That she's lying to me

Whom she meets

Without my knowledge

Do you think that I'm unfaithful?

No I don't think so

But I don't intend to tolerate
anyone, whoever it may be

Takes away from me something
which belongs to me, just me

Have you understood?

You don't intend to endure

Perhaps I'm your property

A part of your estate that you
have at your disposal as you like it

An instrument to play on

The great artist who only knows one law

His ego,his genius

All shall obey the
law,all shall serve him

I don't want it any more

I don't want it, you understand?

I don't care what you want or not

I don't care what kind of a puppy he is

Whom you are wasting with your free time

But I demand that you end
this immediately, do you understand?

I will do just that

what I think is appropriate

Beware of that

Because I'm figthened?

Just look at me now

Forgive me

Forgive me

I love you

-No let me be
-Maria

Maria

No,no you don't love me

You don't love me

I was scared

Never been so scared in my whole life

He was just

Like sometimes he was when he played

Inhuman

Obsessed

Nasty

I thought he was going to kill me

You shall not accompany me any more

We will not meet again, Gösta

I would like to tell that
fellow some things

He's ruining your whole life

He has no right to
treat you that way

Goodbye, Gösta, forget what I said

Everything will be fine, you will see

Please

You can't continue to live
with him, don't you understand?

I can't allow it

You're cute, Gösta

-Forget what I said
-Yes but ..

But you have to be sensible, Gösta

Goodbye

Maybe we'll see each other again sometime

Sure

When I got up to my room

I was suddenly seized by a strange anxiety

Had I said too much to Gösta?

He was so impulsive

Maybe he had imagined
that he could help me

I became more and more anxious

I had a feeling
something was happening

It was so unusually quiet in the house

I knew Thomas was home

But he was not playing

It made me nervous

I heard voices from down there

It was Thomas

And someone else

You make her unhappy

It was Gösta

How dare you?

The marriage to you is
a pure torment for her

You are an egoist

A brutal egoist

How dare you get involved
in things that are of no concerns for you

I love Maria

-You love
-Thomas

Thomas,don't get angry

I forbid you to meet Maria

You forbid?

-You must be ..
-I have warned you

You leave Maria alone

Do you think you can scare
me? Not with that

He didn't die

No

Well?

And then?

The trial was like a nightmare

Thomas refused to defend himself

He just repeated stereotypely

I have ruined my life

Everything else is indifferent

Everything else

Everything else

Me included

He refused to receive me

He didn't want to talk to me

Not see me anymore

I finally understood that
he no longer loved me

And you?

What?

I?

No

No,I can't live with him

It must be over

Completely finished

Good heavens

It isn't three o'clock?

Is Dahlhoff alone?

Yes

But has Mr Linden
arranged an extra lesson?

No, that's not why I'm coming

Listen how he plays

He's not played like that since coming home

Mr. Linden can be
happy to have such a teacher

He's not my teacher any more

Is Mr Linden going to abandon us?

Yes

It's probably the best way

Mr Dahlhoff will not be happy about that

Just the other day, he said

Be kind to Erik

He is my crown prince

He's supporting you Mr. Linden

Mrs. Jönsson was just about to
leave,don't let me interrupt

Yes

Yes,I suppose I'll leave

Good night

He is suporting Mr. Linden like a son

Believe it

Good night

Is anyone there?

Is it?

So it's you, Linden?

Why don't you say something?

Oh, you stand and just admire, eh?

Yeah,I'm not playng too bad now

I have started to live again

Whatever that means

How did you get in, by the way?

It was Mrs. Jönsson who opened for me

Please listen

You disappeared so suddenly the other day

I never thought I
would see you again

Perhaps I frightened you

Like I frightened Maria before

But now she's not afraid of me any more

And of course you're
not afraid of me either

But why don't you take off your coat,
you are completely soaked

Let me help you

I'm going soon

I just wanted to

So you'll leave soon

Now again?

Mr. Dahlhoff

I love Maria

Yes,you love Maria,I know that

Does not exactly come as a surprise

Say

Do you know that there was a young
man in this room before?

And said exactly the same thing

-Yes,Maria has told me everything
-Everything? -Yes,everything

-And you know what happened that time?-Yes

-You know that I
-Yes

I know that you ruined your
marriage for an imagination

Maria did not love him

Of course not

But she loves you?

Yes

So she loves you,
that's the big difference

But then everything is just in order

So you want to marry Maria,but
what do I have to do with that?

Say

Maria is free

Our divorce began three years ago

She is a closed chapter
for me as I am for her

The rest is just a formality

I think I owe you a gratitude,Mr Dahlhoff

That's why I thought it

It was kind of my duty to

Don't bother to say anything,
everything is clear now

Now take off your coat

So let's hear what you have done with
that concert, since we last met

I don't understand

Mr Dahlhoff means that we

Still want to

If I want to?

How does your love stories have
anything to do with our work?

I have decided to make
a decent pianist of you

You can leave your private
affairs in the cloakroom, sit down

Tchaikovsky concert if I may ask

Well? What do you think now ?

Good Hevens

Good Heavens, but
you are playing better than ever

My dear fellow

Yes, yes not without talent

Yes, congratulations from
the bottom of my heart

Dahlhoff yes,but..

Yes, I'm congratulating you,
you old slave-driver

Are you once more making a
fortune on my behalf?

What?

You, Dahlhoff, this must
be celebrated, it must be celebrated

No

We'll go out and party
just like in the old days

You my chap

No you know I do not
want to show myself in public

No, you can not ask that of me

You are crazy

Yes, but you have nothing to be ashamed of

You defended your own wife

What? Yes but had it happened in France

then you would have been acquitted and even
received a lot of love letters

By the way, you have taken your punishment,
you have nothing to be ashamed of

And then the advertising,My God

My God who is it?

We will of course bring Maria with us

Yes, the reconciled spouses

And then Erik, the favourite student

The heir of the great Dahlhoff

Well, after a hundred years,
in a hundred years

You, and then the old lady Lenander

Her Aunt, shipowner widow from Gothenborgh

No, look Signe

Damned,is not that Thomas Dahlhoff

Dahlhoff,who is he?

-A movie actor?
-No, a violinist

- Haven't you heard ?
-Pianist, pianist

Oh now I remember, yes it
was he who shot his wife

No ,not at all,her lover

No please more, please tell me

-Say Thomas
-Yes

Was is not nice to be congratulated

even in such a backwater place?

Well, maybe it's time for
for me becoming a wolf among wolves again

Yes, of course, and then the advertising

Advertising

Cheers Erik

Cheers to The Crown Prince

-Bravo
-Bravo

Good luck Maria

Three years for that woman, no thanks

Do you find her fascinating?

Men have such a strange taste,my dear Signe

Ask John, he is a specialist in
adventurous young ladies

Is this the new lover
who is sitting next to the beautiful one?

You do not mean that, that young boy?

No, that was the worst thing I'd ever heard

Excuse me for a moment

Yeah, um

A former spouse and her future man

Menage a trois

Triangel drama ,idiot

Yes,three years hard labour

Oh really

What are you going to have for that ?

Hm

Ten crowns?

Take Jönsson with you so he can photo them

But you better do it quickly otherwise
maybe they'll leave before you come

Yes

Erik, do not let Hellenius
cheat you with the contract

He has been keen on that for many years

But when I think about
starting doing concerts again

Excuse me

Is this not Mr Dahlhoff?

What's the matter?

Maybe I'm allowed to introduce myself,
Editor Svensson from VeckoBilden

Will Mr Dahlhoff allow only
a small picture for our newspaper?

On the occasion of your release ..,
I mean on the occasion of your come back

How dare you,scoundrel

Thomas

Take it easy, Thomas

Please get other
items for your sensational press

Oh My God,faboulous

"Outsold"

The whole concert is sold out

There is no place to get
for money in the whole concert hall

And the man refuses

He simply refuses to play

I've talked to him

as to a sick horse

I have tried with prayers, with threats,
it does not help, he refuses

But why? Why does he not want to?

Well, it's that story at the restaurant

He's got agarophobia

He's going crazy

They do not want to hear me any more

I'm just a circus artist for them

I could just as easily walk on a rope or
sommersaults backwards, yes it's like that

One is becoming mad

Can you understand him?

But he has to play

He has to play for his own sake

Yes, that's why
you have to help me

You are the only one
who can get him to do that

-Me?
-Yes

You have become such good friends again,
he will listen to you

Ah, please Mrs. Dahlhoff, ah I beg you

You love her again

How can you live without her?

But you can not live with her

And not without her

You intend to abstain from her

For whom? Someone else

For her sake you went to prison,
now you intend to give her to another

It's comical

It's almost like laughing to death

Such a puppy

The Crown Prince

He gets everything

Her, the future

The triumphs

But what do you get?

Why don't you fight?

You're a coward

Afraid

Afraid of yourself

Afraid of your love

You remember how it was

That time you were strong

That time you defended yourself

But now you can not cope with it

No you cannot cope with it

She is gone

You are alone

Totally alone

You're old

Old

And alone

It is too late

Too late

Late

Late

-Sir,you have a visit
-I'm not receiving anyone

Yes, but it is

Good day, Thomas

I understand

It is Hellenius who has mobilized you

He is afraid that the prey
will get out of his hands

No,Thomas

That's not why I came

I have come for your own sake

I don't want you to
look like you were afraid

Afraid?

Why should I be afraid?

Yes,but Thomas

Of course,they expect a sensation

Had you hoped for anything else?

You're scared, Thomas

But you're afraid of yourself

You're not longer believing
in your power over them

You

You no longer believe in yourself

No,it's impossible, Thomas

Dear child

You can endure so much if you
only have something to fight for

But I have nothing

And no one

Thomas

Thomas, you have me

You?

You?

Yes Thomas,me

If you waste your life now again

I'll always have that
feeling, and everyone will believe it

That the fault is mine

That you did everything just
because of that old story

You once threw away your life

For nothing

Meaningless, thoughtless

You have no right to
do that again, Thomas

Neither for your own sake

Or for mine

For your sake?

You mean

I'm going to play

Thomas

Thomas what is it?

Are you sick?

You

It's just over

You shouldn't worry

I'm going to play

I'm going to play

You don't understand

I thought it was all over

That everything was over

Yes

I want to come to you

You have to believe that, Erik

But it's not possible

Not just now

When he is fighting for his life

Then it comes over me again

The same feeling as

Yes, like that time
when I was always with him

You still love him

Oh, Erik

Erik, that's what I do not know

Maybe I hate him because
I can not get away from him

Maybe

Maybe I do not want to get away from him

I understand

I've understood that for a long time

Maybe all the time

I hope you will be happy, Maria

In your life

Erik

Erik you

Yes, your heart does
not appeal to me at all

And I've told you that before

As long as I have a need
for it, it will last

After this concert,
you must have a proper resting cure

Did you take those drops
I prescribed yesterday?

Yes but

To calm down Jönsson

And feed the pharmacist

Well you are really caring

But if you want to get through
this concert in a reasonable way

So it's best that you follow
my prescriptions properly

Well

Do you think you have
made the right diagnosis now?

Old doctor death!

Do you think it's the
heart that is bothering?

Yes, what do you think yourself?

Me?

I have understood that for a long time

The Master called for me?

It was me, Mrs Jönsson

Of this sort, you take one tablet
as soon as possible

Yes, by the way, half a tablet is enough

And possibly another half during the break

Too much of this is risky

Very risky for you in particular

Mrs. Jönsson must be kind and

Run down to the pharmacy and pick
it up there, it's already made up

So you get it right away

Will be done, Doctor

Yes

I'm going to leave you also

I have another visit

And I do not want to be late

For your concert

-Good luck
-Thank you

Goodbye to you

But remember not more than
half a tablet at a time

No, there we have Jönsson

Well, you are not going acompany us
old Jönsson, are you not ?

-Not even today?
-No thanks

I'd rather listen to the radio

You'll get so dizzy
among so many people

Goodbye with the old
Jönsson, goodbye

Have a good time

-Goodbye Mrs. Jönsson
-Goodbye

-And good luck to Mr. Dahlhoff
-Thank you

Thank you, Mrs Jönsson

Thanks for everything

Damned,it's late,come along

You should not stand
there and flirt with Mrs. Jönsson

After the concert

you can take a real resting cure for
four weeks as Cederström prescribed

And after that you'll go on a tour

It will be wonderful

Get out and ventilate
when you have had your cure

What?

Why don't you say something?
Have you become dumb?

I have to ask you one thing, Hellenius

When Maria gets married

Will you give this ring from me

Should I give it to her? Why should I?

Can't you give it to her yourself?

Isn't it quite unusual to be present
when your wife remarries?

No, well

Yes

Yes, of course,you may be right about that

Maria, Maria, Maria

there is nothing
else in the world for you but Mary

Yes, that's weird

I can not live without her

I can not live with her

Thank you for coming, Erik, that was nice

We have now heard the first part
of Thomas Dahlhoff's piano evening

in the concert hall,the grand hall

We heard Toccata and Fugue in
D minor by Johan Sebastian Bach

In piano transcription by Karl Tausig

Further variations on
a theme by Paganini

by Johannes Brahms

and a section of Chopin etudes

As the last piece now comes
Beethoven's Sonata in F minor Opus 57

Appassionata

Half a tablet

Half a tablet

Too much of this is risky

Very risky

Especially for you

Thank you, Mrs Jönsson

Thanks for everything

Where can you see the doctor then?

At the concert

138 Stalls

Forgive me,attendant

Get hold of Dr Cederström 138 Stalls

There is no possibility to enter now

But it is about life or death

Then it is best to consult
another doctor

Where can I meet Victor Hellenius?

Artist foyer this door

Sorry can I meet Victor Hellenius?

Did he know about his?

It's for his own good

Hurry up

I know he's too sick

Hurry up

What a surprise, Jönsson

-But what made Jönsson
-Come now

He's taken them all

-The tablets -The tablets, what then, what then?

-Which?
-He intends to take his own life

What the hell, suicide?

I will try to get Cederström

I do not know but he was clearly ill

How are you?

I'm fine Thomas

I am playing

I'm going downhill

Yes

Yes, you have played, Thomas

You've never played so wonderful

My last chord

And so

No

Everything will be fine again, Thomas

Well yes

Everything will be fine

You will be happy

My beloved
