00:06:08,443 --> 00:06:11,503
All done, then?
Fair warning.

31
00:06:11,713 --> 00:06:15,649
I'm selling now at US$ 1,950 million.

32
00:06:15,851 --> 00:06:19,218
And... sold to the lady on my left.

33
00:06:27,429 --> 00:06:32,731
The last sale of the evening,
lot number 72 on the turntable there.

34
00:06:32,934 --> 00:06:36,768
The star of the night, and...
Where is she?

35
00:06:36,972 --> 00:06:41,534
The last violin
of Nicolo Bussotti, 1681.

36
00:06:41,743 --> 00:06:47,147
A masterpiece of the Golden Age.
And if she will give us the pleasure...

37
00:06:49,751 --> 00:06:55,587
Here she is now, lot 72...
the so-called ''Red Violin''.

38
00:06:56,458 --> 00:07:00,724
And this time, the last order bid
is at US$ 250,000.

39
00:07:00,929 --> 00:07:06,026
A lot of interest here, of course. Now
let's open, and who will start us off?

40
00:07:06,234 --> 00:07:09,226
US$ 260,000.
Good evening, Mr. Ruselsky.

41
00:07:35,097 --> 00:07:36,792
Madame?

42
00:07:41,236 --> 00:07:47,505
-Cesca, can you still see the future?
-Are you all right? Sit down.

43
00:07:47,776 --> 00:07:50,939
Did you call me?
I was in the garden.

44
00:07:51,146 --> 00:07:54,013
-I can come here, can't I?
-Of course.

45
00:07:54,216 --> 00:07:57,515
-This is part of my house.
-Of course, Madame.

46
00:07:59,888 --> 00:08:06,259
I have some new amulets
and bones for you.

47
00:08:06,661 --> 00:08:10,757
If your husband spits on them,
it will help.

48
00:08:12,134 --> 00:08:13,863
Are you hungry?

49
00:08:14,069 --> 00:08:17,664
-Don't eat that, it's fish.
-So?

50
00:08:17,873 --> 00:08:23,334
Your child will be slow to learn.
There it is.

51
00:08:25,147 --> 00:08:29,914
I also have some stones for you,
and a key...

52
00:08:30,118 --> 00:08:34,020
...to wear around your neck.
-My husband is tired of spitting.

53
00:08:34,222 --> 00:08:36,087
Spitting's what men are good for.

54
00:08:36,725 --> 00:08:40,855
A father's saliva is
the best thing he can give.

55
00:08:41,129 --> 00:08:45,156
Cesca, tell me my child's future.

56
00:08:45,801 --> 00:08:50,204
-I can't do that.
-Don't worry about my husband.

57
00:08:50,405 --> 00:08:53,636
No, it's not your husband...

58
00:08:53,842 --> 00:08:56,936
I'm simply not able to do it.

59
00:08:58,413 --> 00:08:59,937
I see.

60
00:09:00,148 --> 00:09:05,814
Until the baby is born,
your humors are one.

61
00:09:06,621 --> 00:09:08,885
However...

62
00:09:09,891 --> 00:09:14,055
...I can read your future.
-No, I told you, I'm scared.

63
00:09:14,262 --> 00:09:17,095
Come on, Madame.

64
00:09:17,866 --> 00:09:20,357
Five cards.

65
00:09:22,337 --> 00:09:24,532
It's only the future.

66
00:09:25,407 --> 00:09:27,102
What if it's bad?

67
00:09:28,243 --> 00:09:30,575
I'll pretend not to see it.

68
00:09:53,735 --> 00:09:55,566
Tell me everything.

69
00:10:05,046 --> 00:10:06,980
The Moon.

70
00:10:07,749 --> 00:10:14,120
You'll live a long life, full and rich.

71
00:10:15,357 --> 00:10:19,225
There's... a travel ahead.

72
00:10:21,229 --> 00:10:25,290
I see a long journey.

73
00:10:32,374 --> 00:10:34,239
Nicolo.

74
00:10:36,544 --> 00:10:38,409
Leave us.

75
00:10:42,751 --> 00:10:44,480
Close the door.

76
00:10:47,689 --> 00:10:52,717
What is it? Why do you come here
in your condition?

77
00:10:52,928 --> 00:10:55,453
-I know I'll find you here.
-What is it?

78
00:10:55,664 --> 00:10:57,894
-I talked to Cesca.
-And?

79
00:10:58,099 --> 00:11:01,535
-She read my future.
-Cesca! Dear God!

80
00:11:01,736 --> 00:11:05,900
And the birth, she said,
will be very difficult and painful.

81
00:11:06,107 --> 00:11:09,543
They always are.
This is no prediction!

82
00:11:09,744 --> 00:11:13,805
-We are talking about me!
-Why do you listen to Cesca?

83
00:11:14,015 --> 00:11:19,146
She is our servant. I have an excellent
midwife, an astrologer, a doctor.

84
00:11:19,354 --> 00:11:23,051
They'll all be there.
It will be perfect. I know.

85
00:11:23,258 --> 00:11:26,022
-How do you know?
-I know.

86
00:11:32,067 --> 00:11:33,659
Nicolo...

87
00:11:36,438 --> 00:11:39,703
I'm so old to be having a baby.

88
00:12:03,531 --> 00:12:05,362
This is a violin.

89
00:12:10,105 --> 00:12:13,939
-It's different.
-I still have to varnish it.

90
00:12:14,542 --> 00:12:18,239
-But there's something...
-It's perfect.

91
00:12:18,646 --> 00:12:24,551
Everything else is just junk,
worthy of a peddIer or the trash heap.

92
00:12:24,753 --> 00:12:26,880
But this is my masterpiece.

93
00:12:29,724 --> 00:12:34,684
I made it for our son, Anna.
Our son will be a musician.

94
00:12:35,230 --> 00:12:39,894
He'll live for music.
He'll bring us pride...

95
00:12:40,101 --> 00:12:42,262
and beauty to the world, my Iove.

96
00:12:42,971 --> 00:12:45,667
-Nicolo...
-I wanted to...

97
00:12:45,874 --> 00:12:50,504
to surprise you, but you see,
I can also make predictions.

98
00:12:50,745 --> 00:12:53,839
It's too big for a baby.

99
00:12:55,183 --> 00:12:57,174
He'll grow.

100
00:13:08,163 --> 00:13:13,191
-My child will come in the full moon.
-Come to bed.

101
00:13:13,668 --> 00:13:17,798
You're jealous of our relationship.
Me and the moon.

102
00:13:18,006 --> 00:13:20,065
No, I'm not jealous.

103
00:13:20,341 --> 00:13:23,310
I know you'll come back.

104
00:15:06,281 --> 00:15:09,216
Master, a boy is asking for you.

105
00:15:09,417 --> 00:15:14,047
-Tell him to go away.
-The doctor sent him.

106
00:15:14,255 --> 00:15:16,223
I think you'd better come.

107
00:15:16,624 --> 00:15:19,286
-Your wife, Sir... The doctor...
-What is it?

108
00:15:19,494 --> 00:15:22,827
She's not well.
She's having the baby.

109
00:16:23,791 --> 00:16:25,782
Get out.

110
00:16:26,261 --> 00:16:29,992
Get out! Leave me alone,
for God's sake!

111
00:19:14,929 --> 00:19:19,195
US$ 1,650 million.
US$ 1,675 million.

112
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,925
Is that a bid, Sir? Don't be shy.
AIright, then I'll take it.

113
00:19:22,236 --> 00:19:25,296
-US$ 1,700 million.
-Excuse me, Mr. Ruselsky.

114
00:19:25,506 --> 00:19:28,236
The Stradivarius now

115
00:19:28,476 --> 00:19:33,413
Paul? US$ 1,750.
US$ 1,775 on the left.

116
00:19:33,614 --> 00:19:35,741
Against the telephone now.
Against you, Sir.

117
00:19:35,950 --> 00:19:39,943
US$ 1,775 million. US$ 1,810.
US$ 1,810 million.

118
00:19:40,154 --> 00:19:43,715
US$ 1,850. US$ 1,850.
US$ 1,875.

119
00:19:44,258 --> 00:19:46,249
-US$ 1,900.
-Son of a bitch!

120
00:19:46,461 --> 00:19:48,156
US$ 1,920 in the room.
Yes, Sir, I got you.

121
00:19:48,362 --> 00:19:50,830
-He knows nothing!
-Who?

122
00:19:51,032 --> 00:19:54,399
-Morritz!
-US$ 1,940 million.

123
00:19:54,936 --> 00:19:57,530
-US$ 1,950 on the left.
-He's cheated me.

124
00:19:57,738 --> 00:19:59,228
All done, then?

125
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,137
I'm selling now at US$ 1,950 million.

126
00:20:04,278 --> 00:20:07,076
Sold to the lady on my left.

127
00:20:12,653 --> 00:20:16,419
Now, ladies and gentleman, the last
sale of the evening, lot number 72.

128
00:20:16,757 --> 00:20:19,555
The star of the night.
Where is she?

129
00:20:20,228 --> 00:20:24,392
The last violin
of Nicolo Bussotti, 1681.

130
00:20:24,599 --> 00:20:28,933
A masterpiece of the Golden Age.
If she will give us the pleasure.

131
00:20:29,170 --> 00:20:35,507
And there she is. Now, lot number 72,
the so-called ''Red Violin''.

132
00:20:35,710 --> 00:20:38,508
The last order bid is
at US$ 250,000.

133
00:20:38,746 --> 00:20:42,512
Who will start us off? US$ 260,000.
Good evening, Mr. Ruselsky.

134
00:21:32,900 --> 00:21:38,429
You must clean the violin every day.
Care for it well.

135
00:21:38,673 --> 00:21:43,406
This is your violin for as long as
you're with us at the orphanage.

136
00:22:55,950 --> 00:22:57,713
Well...

137
00:22:58,586 --> 00:23:01,487
a curse hangs over you, Madame.

138
00:23:01,722 --> 00:23:05,715
Danger to those who come
under your thrall.

139
00:23:06,093 --> 00:23:08,084
And there will be many...

140
00:23:08,462 --> 00:23:10,157
many.

141
00:23:10,831 --> 00:23:14,892
It is a powerful card, the Hanged Man.

142
00:23:15,369 --> 00:23:18,167
I see danger...

143
00:23:18,606 --> 00:23:22,007
infirmity and disease.

144
00:23:23,644 --> 00:23:27,080
I'm sorry, but what kind I can't say.

145
00:23:27,715 --> 00:23:30,548
There are many kinds of sickness.

146
00:23:53,708 --> 00:23:56,233
These roads, Brother Christoph!

147
00:23:57,144 --> 00:24:00,910
You've no idea what I've endured.
And why such haste?

148
00:24:01,382 --> 00:24:06,649
What is so urgent that it couldn't
wait untiI my next visit?

149
00:24:06,854 --> 00:24:09,948
-We have a boy, Sir.
-You have many boys!

150
00:24:10,157 --> 00:24:12,717
This boy is a miracle. You'll see.

151
00:24:13,227 --> 00:24:15,889
Vienna swarms with miracles.

152
00:24:16,130 --> 00:24:20,863
Not like him. We felt
you should see him at once.

153
00:24:21,068 --> 00:24:25,004
-Does he speak French?
-No, Sir. Unfortunately.

154
00:24:25,206 --> 00:24:28,437
All your students should learn French.

155
00:24:28,642 --> 00:24:30,974
It's the Ianguage of music.

156
00:24:31,178 --> 00:24:34,477
It hones the ear and elevates the mind!

157
00:24:49,730 --> 00:24:53,427
Monsieur Poussin,
this is Kaspar Weiss.

158
00:24:57,371 --> 00:25:02,968
What violin is this?
I haven't seen it before.

159
00:25:03,644 --> 00:25:07,978
-We've had it for 100 years.
-Far too big for him.

160
00:25:08,182 --> 00:25:12,585
Look at his hands.
He should play on a child's violin.

161
00:25:12,787 --> 00:25:15,881
Even Mozart... God rest his soul...

162
00:25:16,090 --> 00:25:19,355
played in Versailles
on a child's violin.

163
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,790
No shame in that.

164
00:25:22,196 --> 00:25:25,063
Wouldn't you like
a smaller instrument?

165
00:25:25,266 --> 00:25:27,257
He seems to manage.

166
00:25:28,536 --> 00:25:30,367
Let him try.

167
00:25:32,573 --> 00:25:35,474
Play, my boy. Play.

168
00:27:09,203 --> 00:27:11,068
I see.

169
00:27:16,076 --> 00:27:17,668
Monsieur Poussin?

170
00:27:18,579 --> 00:27:22,913
We're prepared
to offer a small sum...

171
00:27:23,150 --> 00:27:25,345
to help him in his study.

172
00:27:45,539 --> 00:27:47,837
They say you're a good boy...

173
00:27:48,042 --> 00:27:52,035
well-mannered and clean.
GIad to hear it.

174
00:27:52,313 --> 00:27:55,874
But you don't like vegetabIes.
Is that so?

175
00:27:56,083 --> 00:27:58,745
-Yes, Sir.
-What don't you like?

176
00:27:58,953 --> 00:28:03,913
Carrots, Sir. And beans
and cabbage and...

177
00:28:04,124 --> 00:28:09,084
These monks can't cook.

178
00:28:09,363 --> 00:28:12,821
They also write you've got
a weak heart. Is that so?

179
00:28:15,436 --> 00:28:19,338
You must have a strong heart
to play violin.

180
00:28:19,540 --> 00:28:23,704
Believe me. And stronger
still to live in Vienna.

181
00:28:23,911 --> 00:28:27,472
You shall see.
Vienna is an infuriating city.

182
00:28:27,915 --> 00:28:30,907
Infuriating, but magnificent.

183
00:29:27,875 --> 00:29:29,740
Magnificent...

184
00:29:30,077 --> 00:29:32,102
this city!

185
00:29:34,081 --> 00:29:35,776
Antoinette!

186
00:29:39,286 --> 00:29:41,254
May I present to you...

187
00:29:43,257 --> 00:29:45,122
Kaspar Weiss.

188
00:29:45,325 --> 00:29:48,317
One of the most gifted
children on Earth.

189
00:29:48,529 --> 00:29:51,521
But Georges, we can't...

190
00:29:51,832 --> 00:29:55,097
My wife, Antoinette Poussin.

191
00:29:55,302 --> 00:29:59,602
Good afternoon, Kaspar.
How nice to meet you.

192
00:29:59,807 --> 00:30:03,937
Go on in. I'll show you
your room in a minute.

193
00:30:04,144 --> 00:30:06,977
Georges, please!
We can't afford to keep him!

194
00:30:07,214 --> 00:30:09,808
We can't afford not to.

195
00:30:12,319 --> 00:30:16,415
There's something about
your playing that eludes me.

196
00:30:16,623 --> 00:30:22,152
I've decided to analyze it,
Iogically, with a scientific method.

197
00:30:23,030 --> 00:30:26,227
First, your bowing...

198
00:30:26,433 --> 00:30:28,697
and your left hand phrasing.

199
00:30:28,936 --> 00:30:31,871
Your détaché, ornamentation
and your taste.

200
00:30:32,106 --> 00:30:36,270
And theory!
Theory, too, is important.

201
00:30:36,743 --> 00:30:41,578
You need a lot more than inspiration
to play the violin.

202
00:30:41,815 --> 00:30:45,444
You need method.
You must think...

203
00:30:46,053 --> 00:30:49,454
...and work!
-Won't you eat?

204
00:30:49,723 --> 00:30:53,022
-You must eat!
-Do you want something else?

205
00:30:53,227 --> 00:30:57,561
Try this cheese. I think you'll
like it. It's French.

206
00:30:57,898 --> 00:31:01,834
-Try some.
-Taste it.

207
00:31:04,438 --> 00:31:09,432
You'll see, a little different
from the monk's crumbly cheese!

208
00:31:09,676 --> 00:31:11,337
Go on.

209
00:31:11,979 --> 00:31:16,609
Kaspar, if you play well,
you'll enjoy the finest fare.

210
00:31:16,817 --> 00:31:19,149
We can't afford coal,
let alone food!

211
00:31:19,386 --> 00:31:23,413
Sell your jewelry! Sell your David! He
voted to behead the king, the monster!

212
00:31:24,691 --> 00:31:26,352
My boy...

213
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,825
play well, and there will be cheese.

214
00:31:30,264 --> 00:31:32,698
Violin... cheese.

215
00:31:34,168 --> 00:31:38,070
-May I go to my room now?
-Go ahead. And sleep well.

216
00:31:39,206 --> 00:31:42,266
Madame Poussin will assist
you in your prayers.

217
00:31:45,979 --> 00:31:49,506
Why speak French?
He doesn't understand.

218
00:31:49,716 --> 00:31:51,616
So he'll learn!

219
00:31:52,152 --> 00:31:55,383
I want them to know who taught him.

220
00:32:10,170 --> 00:32:12,297
Good morning, Poussin.

221
00:32:13,574 --> 00:32:18,238
I pride myself on visiting the Taufer
Orphanage three times a year...

222
00:32:18,445 --> 00:32:22,609
to offer my services as a teacher,
as a gesture of support...

223
00:32:22,816 --> 00:32:28,049
for those good men of the cloth.
This year, they called earIy.

224
00:32:28,255 --> 00:32:30,280
I was skeptical, but...

225
00:32:31,158 --> 00:32:33,991
when this child raised his bow...

226
00:32:34,194 --> 00:32:38,654
when he played his first note,
well, Baron von Spielmann...

227
00:32:38,899 --> 00:32:41,595
I knew my prayers
had been answered.

228
00:32:41,802 --> 00:32:44,600
You've unearthed another
''Wunderkind''.

229
00:32:48,675 --> 00:32:54,045
I've got no money for you, Poussin.
I have no concerts to offer you.

230
00:32:54,514 --> 00:32:59,474
-It isn't for the money.
-I suggest you find another patron.

231
00:32:59,853 --> 00:33:04,847
-Must I beg?
-Isn't that what you're doing?

232
00:33:05,359 --> 00:33:06,849
Yes.

233
00:33:07,527 --> 00:33:09,154
I am.

234
00:33:10,364 --> 00:33:12,423
In three weeks...

235
00:33:12,633 --> 00:33:17,070
I'm holding a private audition
at my salon.

236
00:33:17,571 --> 00:33:21,405
Prince Mannsfeld is leaving
for Prussia...

237
00:33:21,608 --> 00:33:24,441
and seeks a prodigy
to accompany him.

238
00:33:24,711 --> 00:33:26,611
He must hear this boy.

239
00:33:27,147 --> 00:33:30,344
Three weeks. Can you be ready?
Truthfully!

240
00:33:30,550 --> 00:33:34,611
-I could be ready tomorrow.
-Be very certain, Poussin.

241
00:33:34,988 --> 00:33:41,587
-If you embarrass me again...
-I've charmed the crowned heads...

242
00:33:41,862 --> 00:33:45,855
Where are those heads now? Rolling
in the gutters of the new Republic!

243
00:34:04,318 --> 00:34:06,616
No, no, no!

244
00:34:06,987 --> 00:34:11,424
The first phrase, the entire section,
must be played staccato.

245
00:34:11,625 --> 00:34:15,721
A modern style, well and good,
but let's not be crude.

246
00:34:15,929 --> 00:34:18,397
-You liked it, didn't you?
-Yes.

247
00:34:18,598 --> 00:34:23,968
I'm delighted.
You're going to play it again.

248
00:34:24,471 --> 00:34:30,341
You're going to play it
again and again and again.

249
00:34:33,513 --> 00:34:37,574
See this? It's a clockwork
chronometer, of my invention.

250
00:34:37,818 --> 00:34:40,787
It's called the Poussin-meter.

251
00:34:41,621 --> 00:34:46,718
You will heed it with
the same deference you would me.

252
00:34:46,993 --> 00:34:52,863
What you just played
corresponds to a tempo like this.

253
00:34:57,070 --> 00:34:59,504
Each day, as we progress...

254
00:34:59,706 --> 00:35:03,267
we shall push down
this little ball notch.

255
00:35:03,477 --> 00:35:08,505
UntiI finally, in three weeks,
you'll be playing like this.

256
00:35:12,319 --> 00:35:14,048
The world will be yours!

257
00:35:15,756 --> 00:35:20,250
You see, Antoinette, there's something
I still don't understand.

258
00:35:21,094 --> 00:35:25,155
His violin has a wonderful sound,
and a Iovely form.

259
00:35:25,365 --> 00:35:30,029
-Of course, it's Italian.
-Is it very valuabIe?

260
00:35:31,271 --> 00:35:36,834
-Why do you ask?
-Well, it could pay the rent, if ever...

261
00:35:37,043 --> 00:35:40,103
He will play divinely, my dear.

262
00:35:40,347 --> 00:35:43,248
-Can't you trust me?
-Of course I can.

263
00:35:43,450 --> 00:35:48,217
But must he sleep with it?
He could roll over on it.

264
00:35:48,422 --> 00:35:51,323
What?
He sleeps with it?

265
00:35:52,592 --> 00:35:55,959
Straight, proud.
Lift your chin. There.

266
00:35:56,163 --> 00:36:01,157
Perfect, your bow. You're cIutching.
Your body's stiff, your elbow locked.

267
00:36:01,902 --> 00:36:04,336
I knew something
was holding you back.

268
00:36:04,538 --> 00:36:08,565
Something, but I didn't know what.
Now it's totally clear.

269
00:36:09,376 --> 00:36:13,972
You're oppressed by your violin.
It has you completely ensIaved.

270
00:36:14,214 --> 00:36:17,809
Look at you.
There, very good.

271
00:36:19,252 --> 00:36:24,155
If you want to advance,
Kaspar Weiss, you must let go.

272
00:36:24,591 --> 00:36:27,617
What do you mean, Sir?
I don't understand.

273
00:36:29,796 --> 00:36:33,926
Antoinette tells me
you sleep with your violin.

274
00:36:34,334 --> 00:36:38,862
Tonight you'll sleep by yourself.
Without the violin.

275
00:36:39,473 --> 00:36:41,839
Without your violin!

276
00:36:51,218 --> 00:36:52,913
Doctor!

277
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,650
Thank you for coming so quickIy.

278
00:37:00,527 --> 00:37:03,985
Thank you so much, Doctor.
Good night.

279
00:37:08,602 --> 00:37:11,730
-Feeling better?
-Yes, thank you.

280
00:37:11,938 --> 00:37:16,375
The doctor says your heart
must have stopped for a minute.

281
00:37:16,576 --> 00:37:18,066
I'm sorry.

282
00:37:18,278 --> 00:37:22,271
It's all right, but we don't
want it to happen again.

283
00:37:23,350 --> 00:37:29,482
Were you worried?
Were you nervous about the audition?

284
00:37:29,689 --> 00:37:34,023
It will be just fine.
You know that, don't you?

285
00:37:34,227 --> 00:37:36,889
-Georges!
-I know, I know.

286
00:37:37,130 --> 00:37:40,691
Kaspar, we want to tell you...

287
00:37:41,067 --> 00:37:44,366
you don't have to do it
if you don't want to.

288
00:37:44,671 --> 00:37:48,368
-You don't have to play.
-I don't?

289
00:37:48,575 --> 00:37:51,567
We can cancel the audition.

290
00:37:51,778 --> 00:37:54,338
We'll manage, somehow.

291
00:37:55,415 --> 00:38:00,978
It's better than making you sick, see?
You don't have to be famous.

292
00:38:01,187 --> 00:38:05,590
No? Yes... Oui.

293
00:38:06,393 --> 00:38:08,918
Sorry... malade.

294
00:38:09,596 --> 00:38:14,693
I want to be famous.
Sir, I really do.

295
00:38:15,368 --> 00:38:19,964
That's my boy!
I'm very proud of you.

296
00:38:20,173 --> 00:38:22,164
I want you to rest, relax.

297
00:38:22,475 --> 00:38:26,639
Madame Poussin will bring
a visitor you like very much.

298
00:38:31,952 --> 00:38:34,113
Merci, Madame.

299
00:38:39,359 --> 00:38:44,729
One, two, three, four!
One, two, three, four! Good!

300
00:38:46,099 --> 00:38:47,657
Good!

301
00:38:48,435 --> 00:38:53,429
One, two, three, four!
One, two, three, four! Go on!

302
00:39:48,261 --> 00:39:50,229
There you go.

303
00:39:57,971 --> 00:39:59,802
Amen.

304
00:40:24,297 --> 00:40:29,530
We better sleep now.
Tomorrow's going to be a busy day.

305
00:41:03,436 --> 00:41:08,237
Perfect. And now, backwards.
Are you ready?

306
00:41:47,380 --> 00:41:49,905
Rejected! The shame!

307
00:41:57,190 --> 00:42:02,150
Kaspar Weiss.
Kaspar Weiss, violin!

308
00:42:02,395 --> 00:42:05,887
Play the best you can, Kaspar.
Play your best.

309
00:42:36,396 --> 00:42:41,356
Master Poussin
and his protégé, Kaspar Weiss.

310
00:42:53,112 --> 00:42:56,377
Closer. Come closer.

311
00:42:59,986 --> 00:43:03,979
So you're the wiId child
I've heard all about.

312
00:43:04,457 --> 00:43:07,585
An orphan raised by monks.

313
00:43:07,794 --> 00:43:11,286
If you prefer,
we can call in the next.

314
00:43:11,497 --> 00:43:13,727
-There's the son of...
-No, no.

315
00:43:14,801 --> 00:43:19,898
How charming to think a monastery
has actually produced something...

316
00:43:20,106 --> 00:43:22,040
something worthwhiIe.

317
00:43:24,544 --> 00:43:26,876
That's a Iovely instrument you have.

318
00:43:27,647 --> 00:43:29,410
May I see it?

319
00:43:30,049 --> 00:43:32,210
May I see it, my boy?

320
00:43:33,253 --> 00:43:34,880
Please.

321
00:43:43,963 --> 00:43:46,363
Is it for sale?

322
00:43:46,799 --> 00:43:49,791
I'd give you a good price for it.

323
00:43:50,203 --> 00:43:55,300
-He's very attached to his instrument.
-So I see.

324
00:43:56,242 --> 00:44:01,145
-Perhaps after he's played...
-Of course, let him play.

325
00:44:01,347 --> 00:44:05,750
I might take him too.
Come, play for me.

326
00:44:08,187 --> 00:44:11,281
Won't you play something for me?
Please.

327
00:44:12,292 --> 00:44:13,987
Poussin!

328
00:44:18,865 --> 00:44:23,302
Just play for him, son.
Play.

329
00:46:11,611 --> 00:46:13,374
Monsieur Poussin?

330
00:46:15,148 --> 00:46:18,174
On behalf of the brothers
I thank you...

331
00:46:18,384 --> 00:46:21,478
for the generosity
you showed Kaspar.

332
00:46:21,687 --> 00:46:25,316
He takes with him
the many gifts you gave him.

333
00:46:25,525 --> 00:46:27,322
I did what I could.

334
00:46:27,527 --> 00:46:31,190
Would you honor us
by sharing our modest supper?

335
00:46:31,397 --> 00:46:33,524
It's very kind of you, but...

336
00:46:34,033 --> 00:46:38,800
my wife awaits me,
all of Vienna awaits me.

337
00:46:39,005 --> 00:46:41,473
Of course, we understand.

338
00:46:43,209 --> 00:46:46,542
-I do have one question.
-Yes?

339
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:50,345
-The violin.
-Yes?

340
00:46:51,984 --> 00:46:54,612
What will become of it?

341
00:46:55,154 --> 00:46:58,282
I'm sorry, I thought you knew.

342
00:46:58,991 --> 00:47:02,154
Naturally you were
foremost in our thoughts.

343
00:47:02,428 --> 00:47:06,023
After all the time and energy
you invested...

344
00:47:06,232 --> 00:47:11,101
it would be wrong
to give it to another child.

345
00:47:11,304 --> 00:47:15,138
-Yes, of course.
-So we buried it with the boy.

346
00:47:15,708 --> 00:47:17,972
He can play it in heaven.

347
00:47:23,449 --> 00:47:25,508
Yes, quite right.

348
00:47:38,598 --> 00:47:40,190
And...

349
00:47:40,399 --> 00:47:44,995
and then I see a time of life...

350
00:47:45,438 --> 00:47:49,636
a time of Iust and energy...

351
00:47:49,842 --> 00:47:54,279
loosed across mountains
and oceans, and time.

352
00:47:56,516 --> 00:47:58,814
Confusing, Madame, I know.

353
00:47:59,285 --> 00:48:03,051
But I see it. I'm certain.

354
00:48:04,190 --> 00:48:07,125
Yours is a Lazarus soul.

355
00:50:17,990 --> 00:50:19,924
Yes, I see.

356
00:50:20,226 --> 00:50:22,456
Well, put her through
when you can.

357
00:50:24,063 --> 00:50:26,258
We're on hold.

358
00:50:26,499 --> 00:50:30,094
You should tell her our story.
Explain its past.

359
00:50:30,303 --> 00:50:34,069
Brother, please, she doesn't care.
She's doing her job.

360
00:50:34,273 --> 00:50:36,264
But if you convince her...

361
00:50:36,575 --> 00:50:39,601
-Father Viktor, good morning.
-Good morning.

362
00:50:39,812 --> 00:50:44,647
This is Suzanne. They're just closing
lot 71. Can you hear the auctioneer?

363
00:50:46,352 --> 00:50:48,582
Sold to the lady on my left.

364
00:50:49,388 --> 00:50:51,117
Yes, I can hear him.

365
00:50:51,757 --> 00:50:54,783
Suzanne, how do I tell you
when I want to...

366
00:50:55,594 --> 00:50:59,257
Leave it to me, Sir.
Just tell me when you want to stop.

367
00:50:59,465 --> 00:51:04,266
...a masterpiece of the Golden Age.
If she would give us the pleasure.

368
00:51:04,503 --> 00:51:07,495
I feel helpless.
Isn't there something we can do?

369
00:51:08,240 --> 00:51:11,175
Yes. We can pray.

370
00:51:11,410 --> 00:51:16,575
This time the last order bid is at
US$ 250,000. Let's open the floor.

371
00:51:16,782 --> 00:51:21,583
Who will start us off? US$ 260,000.
Good evening, Mr. Ruselsky.

372
00:51:22,221 --> 00:51:24,712
US$ 270,000.
Suzanne, on the telephone.

373
00:51:24,924 --> 00:51:30,624
US$ 280,000. Back to you, Sir.
US$ 300,000. I see you, Suzanne.

374
00:51:34,367 --> 00:51:35,857
And then...

375
00:51:37,803 --> 00:51:42,672
a man comes into your life.
A handsome man...

376
00:51:43,008 --> 00:51:48,071
and intelligent. He'll seduce you
with his talent...

377
00:51:49,148 --> 00:51:52,675
and worse. In short...

378
00:51:53,519 --> 00:51:54,850
he's the DeviI.

379
00:52:24,483 --> 00:52:26,474
What a marvelous violin!

380
00:52:30,689 --> 00:52:35,126
-What do you want?
-I was Iured by the music by the heath.

381
00:52:35,327 --> 00:52:37,989
Oh, yes? Maybe you can
go back the same way.

382
00:52:38,564 --> 00:52:41,192
I'm your host.
This is my land.

383
00:52:42,868 --> 00:52:45,393
Now I see. My mistake.

384
00:52:47,173 --> 00:52:51,041
We will not be a troubIe.
We'll be leaving here by nightfall.

385
00:52:51,410 --> 00:52:55,574
That won't be necessary. I'm sure
we can come to some arrangement.

386
00:53:01,720 --> 00:53:05,178
Excuse me, Sir.
I must ask you to leave.

387
00:53:05,424 --> 00:53:07,358
We have an invitation.

388
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:09,825
You can read?

389
00:53:10,796 --> 00:53:12,889
Personal invitation.

390
00:53:13,999 --> 00:53:15,694
Come on in.

391
00:53:30,749 --> 00:53:32,512
-Evening, Percy.
-Good evening, ma'am.

392
00:53:32,718 --> 00:53:35,881
-In the dressing room, warming up.
-Not without me, I hope.

393
00:53:43,295 --> 00:53:45,263
Victoria.

394
00:53:50,736 --> 00:53:52,601
I need you.

395
00:53:57,743 --> 00:54:00,075
I feel a composition coming on.

396
00:54:04,550 --> 00:54:06,245
So do I.

397
00:54:20,533 --> 00:54:24,731
Ladies and gentlemen,
if I can have your attention.

398
00:54:24,970 --> 00:54:30,533
Mr. Pope has asked me to announce
he'll be performing this afternoon...

399
00:54:30,743 --> 00:54:35,009
on an antique instrument
of the Italian school...

400
00:54:35,214 --> 00:54:38,809
which has revitalized
his affections for the violin.

401
00:54:47,359 --> 00:54:50,226
I hope that...

402
00:54:50,429 --> 00:54:53,330
whets your appetite somewhat.

403
00:55:06,312 --> 00:55:08,576
Mr. Pope, Sir, whenever you're...

404
00:55:09,582 --> 00:55:11,675
-Darling!
-...ready.

405
00:56:04,870 --> 00:56:08,772
I'd like to play for you
a new composition...

406
00:56:09,708 --> 00:56:12,040
which came to me recently...

407
00:56:13,045 --> 00:56:15,070
in a moment of...

408
00:56:15,981 --> 00:56:17,846
inspiration.

409
00:58:25,878 --> 00:58:29,143
''How did it come to this?
Saints in heaven.

410
00:58:29,348 --> 00:58:33,546
How did it happen to him?
An artist who could not be denied.

411
00:58:33,752 --> 00:58:37,153
A poet, in fact. But a murderer?

412
00:58:37,422 --> 00:58:39,117
No.

413
00:58:40,859 --> 00:58:43,555
Yet the looking-glass image
was hard to refute.

414
00:58:43,762 --> 00:58:48,062
His fingers and cuffs were still
ruddy ith gore, and as he watched...

415
00:58:48,267 --> 00:58:50,167
in horror...

416
00:58:52,271 --> 00:58:56,674
the speckles of blood seemed
to multiply before his eyes...

417
00:58:56,875 --> 00:58:59,742
like maggots on a fetid corpse.

418
00:58:59,978 --> 00:59:02,412
What would become of him now?
Where would he run to...

419
00:59:02,614 --> 00:59:04,343
and where would he hide?

420
00:59:05,284 --> 00:59:07,718
The options then
were depressingly few.

421
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:10,047
Indeed, his mind was
already racing...

422
00:59:10,255 --> 00:59:13,156
east across the frozen continent...''

423
00:59:13,392 --> 00:59:16,020
-Darling.
-''...and over the frozen steppes...

424
00:59:17,262 --> 00:59:20,197
back to the refuge
of his childhood estate.''

425
00:59:20,399 --> 00:59:24,358
-I have a theme I want to work out.
-''To Russia, the Cossack call...''

426
00:59:24,603 --> 00:59:28,596
-That needs to be addressed.
-Can't you see I'm trying to work?

427
00:59:33,378 --> 00:59:37,610
-You're so selfish.
-I had mutual inspiration in mind.

428
00:59:37,816 --> 00:59:41,650
-Can't you see I don't need it? I was...
-My Iove, don't be angry.

429
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:44,855
-Oh, please.
-You've only yourself to bIame.

430
00:59:45,057 --> 00:59:47,423
It's your beauty that
summons the music.

431
00:59:51,597 --> 00:59:53,963
And when it comes...

432
00:59:54,199 --> 00:59:56,258
I must play.

433
01:00:00,772 --> 01:00:02,262
Damn you.

434
01:00:42,614 --> 01:00:44,809
Is this what you wanted?

435
01:00:46,485 --> 01:00:48,680
Is this what you wanted?

436
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:38,902
''East, east, across
the frozen continent...

437
01:01:39,104 --> 01:01:44,872
and over the frozen steppes back to
the refuge of his childhood estate.

438
01:01:45,077 --> 01:01:49,446
To Russia, to Russia,
he heard the Cossack call.''

439
01:01:50,349 --> 01:01:53,876
-Frederick.
-My darling.

440
01:01:54,119 --> 01:01:56,383
My one inspiration.

441
01:01:57,022 --> 01:02:00,583
-I have something terribIe to tell you.
-TerribIe?

442
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:04,752
-The worst.
-It must be most terribIe...

443
01:02:04,963 --> 01:02:09,127
for you to tell me now
and ruin this perfect moment.

444
01:02:10,569 --> 01:02:12,969
Jack has killed the minister.

445
01:02:14,339 --> 01:02:17,740
-It was an accident.
-I see.

446
01:02:19,611 --> 01:02:24,105
He's now fled to Russia.
Self-imposed exiIe.

447
01:02:25,951 --> 01:02:30,115
I see. You're leaving me.

448
01:02:32,190 --> 01:02:36,854
I've never been there. I wouldn't know
what to write. I have to follow him.

449
01:02:37,062 --> 01:02:41,362
-I can't go. I have concerts.
-I know, darling.

450
01:02:44,302 --> 01:02:48,466
-Are you very angry?
-Why should I be?

451
01:03:19,337 --> 01:03:24,138
Dearest Frederick, I havejust passed
the church where Jeffrey was baptized.

452
01:03:24,342 --> 01:03:28,039
and I'm quickly approaching the
Rutherford Bridge. In other words...

453
01:03:28,246 --> 01:03:33,309
darling, we have parted for under
ten minutes and already I'm lost.

454
01:03:33,885 --> 01:03:38,618
I return to my writing in the hope
that these few honest words...

455
01:03:38,824 --> 01:03:41,816
...might rejoin our lips...
-''Darling Victoria...''

456
01:03:42,027 --> 01:03:44,359
''...Bring back your hands
to my shivering skin.''

457
01:03:44,563 --> 01:03:48,693
''You trust in words and comfort of
letters in a way that I simply do not.

458
01:03:48,900 --> 01:03:52,336
And no matter what, no words can
convince me that you are not gone.''

459
01:03:52,537 --> 01:03:55,233
''Finally, my love,
it's Moscow at last...

460
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:57,635
and my very first night
was unspeakably dreary.

461
01:03:58,076 --> 01:04:02,240
-Can one nation be so abysmal?''
-''What is this nonsense?''

462
01:04:02,447 --> 01:04:07,146
-''Or is it because you are not here?''
-''I won't sigh for your woes.

463
01:04:07,352 --> 01:04:12,016
If everything truly is as dismal as you
say, then heed my simple remedy.''

464
01:04:12,224 --> 01:04:14,988
-''Frederick...''
-''Return at once, betrothed love.''

465
01:04:15,193 --> 01:04:21,359
''...darling, I long for your touch. I
still seek your scent on my clothes.''

466
01:04:21,900 --> 01:04:25,267
''I should have pinned you to the
mattress when last I had the chance.

467
01:04:25,470 --> 01:04:29,031
Like you were the butterfly,
I was the pin.''

468
01:04:29,241 --> 01:04:32,404
''Embroidered together,
heart against heart.''

469
01:04:32,644 --> 01:04:36,045
''Victoria, listen.
Our moment is dying.

470
01:04:36,248 --> 01:04:39,411
What is this nonsense? The music is
gone. Like you were the butterfly.

471
01:04:39,618 --> 01:04:42,519
This impression
is passing, my love.

472
01:04:42,721 --> 01:04:45,212
Where everything I said to you...

473
01:04:45,557 --> 01:04:50,187
and everything I might ever say could
be contained in these two words.:

474
01:04:51,763 --> 01:04:55,324
Come back, Victoria.
Come back.''

475
01:04:56,301 --> 01:04:59,464
Do not write to me any more, Iove.

476
01:05:23,195 --> 01:05:24,890
Ladies and gentlemen...

477
01:05:26,097 --> 01:05:29,362
thank you for your patience
and understanding.

478
01:05:29,634 --> 01:05:33,968
Unfortunately, I have
just received notice...

479
01:05:34,172 --> 01:05:39,974
that Mr. Pope has been afflicted
by an illness...

480
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:46,283
and unfortunately cannot
be with us today.

481
01:05:46,818 --> 01:05:50,549
Of course, we will refund
those who desire...

482
01:05:50,755 --> 01:05:55,522
but for those who do stay, we are
pleased to play my arrangement...

483
01:05:55,727 --> 01:05:58,560
of favorite English madrigals.

484
01:06:16,915 --> 01:06:20,112
''Darling Frederick,
I have seen the truth at last.

485
01:06:20,352 --> 01:06:24,448
Eternity has passed since we parted.
One full week without your letters...

486
01:06:24,656 --> 01:06:27,750
and I am shriveling here
like a flower in the desert.

487
01:06:27,959 --> 01:06:32,555
I will not suffer more. Are you not
reading as well as not writing?

488
01:06:32,764 --> 01:06:36,860
Then you'll miss this crucial report.
I'm coming back, my love...

489
01:06:37,068 --> 01:06:39,866
by any means I can,
tomorrow morning if I'm able.

490
01:06:40,105 --> 01:06:46,271
Will you then forgive me, my love?
The wasted time, my selfish folly.

491
01:06:46,478 --> 01:06:48,639
Will you take me
in your arms again...

492
01:06:48,847 --> 01:06:53,079
and with one kiss eradicate each
hour apart from your embrace?

493
01:06:57,155 --> 01:07:00,852
I long for your love.
I long for your touch.

494
01:07:01,059 --> 01:07:04,586
We can't stay apart.
Victoria.''

495
01:08:06,424 --> 01:08:09,757
Savage. Extreme, rude...

496
01:08:09,961 --> 01:08:13,294
...cruel, not to trust!
-Victoria...

497
01:08:13,498 --> 01:08:15,489
...Your sIuttish muse.
-Who is she?

498
01:08:15,700 --> 01:08:17,224
-Quiet!
-Victoria, please.

499
01:08:17,435 --> 01:08:20,893
Don't try to explain.
It's not your fault.

500
01:08:21,639 --> 01:08:23,766
Or yours.

501
01:08:24,209 --> 01:08:26,143
Victoria, listen...

502
01:08:40,792 --> 01:08:42,851
''Do not despair, Victoria.

503
01:08:43,061 --> 01:08:46,292
This is the last page
of our correspondence.

504
01:08:46,498 --> 01:08:49,956
I am only writing to let you know
of my plans for suicide...

505
01:08:50,168 --> 01:08:53,626
by poison or drowning,
I've yet to decide.

506
01:08:53,838 --> 01:08:56,466
All my estate I'm leaving to you.

507
01:08:56,674 --> 01:09:02,044
I have some personal debts to honor,
but everything else will be yours.

508
01:09:02,247 --> 01:09:06,274
Do with it what you will.
It matters little to me.

509
01:09:07,285 --> 01:09:10,345
Regretfully yours, Frederick.''

510
01:09:10,922 --> 01:09:12,514
I'm dying.

511
01:09:13,625 --> 01:09:15,388
Dying.

512
01:09:15,827 --> 01:09:19,695
Do you know anything about music?
Have you heard of Frederick Pope?

513
01:09:19,898 --> 01:09:22,833
Composer, genius.
The only virtuoso...

514
01:09:23,034 --> 01:09:25,764
the nation of England
ever came up with.

515
01:09:25,970 --> 01:09:28,768
In a few minutes, his violin
is going to be sold...

516
01:09:28,973 --> 01:09:33,205
and if I don't get there because of
your driving or this goddamned traffic...

517
01:09:33,411 --> 01:09:38,348
I'm going to Iose my precious testicles.
I'm going to be castrated.

518
01:09:39,250 --> 01:09:43,186
-Please hurry.
-It's there. Duval's.

519
01:09:43,855 --> 01:09:46,346
-That's it?
-Yeah.

520
01:09:46,558 --> 01:09:48,423
Why didn't you tell me?

521
01:09:49,561 --> 01:09:50,994
I need a receipt.

522
01:09:53,131 --> 01:09:56,532
Hello. Nicholas OIsberg.
I'm Iate.

523
01:09:56,734 --> 01:10:00,101
-Yes, you are.
-Please don't let me forget this.

524
01:10:01,072 --> 01:10:05,839
OIsberg, Nicholas.
I registered by telephone.

525
01:10:06,044 --> 01:10:09,775
-Check again under ''Pope Foundation''.
-Pope?

526
01:10:11,449 --> 01:10:16,546
-Last violin of Nicolo Bussotti...
-There we are. Please sign.

527
01:10:20,492 --> 01:10:22,289
There you are.

528
01:10:23,628 --> 01:10:27,826
...72, the so-called ''Red Violin''.

529
01:10:28,333 --> 01:10:31,769
Last order bid is at US$ 250,000.

530
01:10:32,003 --> 01:10:34,471
So we'll open the floor.
And who will start us off?

531
01:10:34,672 --> 01:10:37,106
US$ 260,000.
Good evening, Mr. Ruselsky.

532
01:10:37,475 --> 01:10:41,206
US$ 270,000. Suzanne, on the phone.
US$ 280,000. Back to you, Sir.

533
01:10:41,412 --> 01:10:43,744
Here. US$ 300,000 at the back
of the room. Thank you.

534
01:10:43,948 --> 01:10:46,007
US$ 320,000.
Suzanne, I see you.

535
01:10:46,251 --> 01:10:49,118
US$ 400,000 at the back of the hall.
US$ 400,000.

536
01:14:29,307 --> 01:14:31,741
Darling, come here.

537
01:14:35,880 --> 01:14:37,814
Do you like it?

538
01:14:45,556 --> 01:14:47,490
Justice.

539
01:14:48,626 --> 01:14:54,326
There will be a trial,
a great trial...

540
01:14:54,565 --> 01:14:59,901
before a powerful magistrate.
And you, you will be guilty.

541
01:15:01,239 --> 01:15:02,831
Beware!

542
01:15:03,107 --> 01:15:05,371
Beware of the heat of the fire!

543
01:16:11,943 --> 01:16:17,540
Comrade Chan Gong
has come from Beijing.

544
01:16:17,782 --> 01:16:20,012
Welcome her, please.

545
01:16:32,763 --> 01:16:37,700
Comrades, students,
revolutionary companions-in-arms...

546
01:16:37,902 --> 01:16:42,532
I give you my proletarian salute!

547
01:16:48,412 --> 01:16:52,872
I congratulate you
on today's grand festival...

548
01:16:53,084 --> 01:16:57,919
for which you have worked so hard.

549
01:17:03,194 --> 01:17:08,154
Your cultural unit has
done exceptional work.

550
01:17:08,399 --> 01:17:11,493
I would also like to commend you
on the children's presentation.

551
01:17:11,702 --> 01:17:16,196
It made my heart rejoice.

552
01:17:16,407 --> 01:17:20,867
The story of ''The Three Heroic GirIs''
was a vivid Iesson.

553
01:17:21,212 --> 01:17:25,512
It galvanized our historic crusade!
But some efforts are Iess successful...

554
01:17:25,983 --> 01:17:28,281
unfortunately.

555
01:17:30,154 --> 01:17:36,491
Sometimes the teacher must learn
from his students.

556
01:17:39,063 --> 01:17:41,293
Give it to me.

557
01:17:49,307 --> 01:17:52,367
Capitalist expIoitation
survived for centuries...

558
01:17:52,576 --> 01:17:55,272
yet its ''cIassics'' are pitiful!

559
01:17:55,479 --> 01:18:00,212
Foreign music is
meaningless and empty.

560
01:18:00,451 --> 01:18:05,150
What do they mean by ''symphony'',
''concerto No. 1, No.2, No. 3''?

561
01:18:05,356 --> 01:18:10,089
This is empty formalism.
It speaks nothing to the people.

562
01:18:10,328 --> 01:18:12,319
What good is making music...

563
01:18:12,563 --> 01:18:16,659
except to teach
and inspire the people?

564
01:18:17,268 --> 01:18:20,897
-Long live Chairman Mao!
-Long live Chairman Mao!

565
01:18:21,472 --> 01:18:25,966
-Overthrow the cultural establishment!
-Overthrow the cultural establishment!

566
01:18:27,678 --> 01:18:29,578
-Chou Yuan!
-Present.

567
01:18:29,780 --> 01:18:32,408
Why do you teach this instrument?

568
01:18:35,786 --> 01:18:38,880
Comrade Chan Gong,
what you say is true...

569
01:18:39,156 --> 01:18:40,783
Louder, please.

570
01:18:43,494 --> 01:18:46,088
Comrade Chan Gong, you are right.

571
01:18:46,597 --> 01:18:50,829
Much of western music
is unrefined, worthIess.

572
01:18:51,135 --> 01:18:53,365
This is a fact.

573
01:18:53,571 --> 01:18:57,803
Everything you said is true,
but the music I teach...

574
01:18:58,109 --> 01:18:59,667
Go on!

575
01:18:59,944 --> 01:19:03,004
The music I teach
is revolutionary music.

576
01:19:03,247 --> 01:19:06,614
-Beethoven, Prokofiev...
-Do you think so?

577
01:19:07,585 --> 01:19:09,951
In his speech, Comrade Li said...

578
01:19:10,154 --> 01:19:13,590
Comrade Li was purged
and humiIiated.

579
01:19:13,824 --> 01:19:16,315
Do you still want to quote him?

580
01:19:16,761 --> 01:19:19,025
I didn't know.

581
01:19:20,097 --> 01:19:24,090
-I have taught for many years...
-That is apparent.

582
01:19:24,802 --> 01:19:27,293
We believe in the rule
of many voices.

583
01:19:27,505 --> 01:19:31,771
-What should we do here?
-Throw away that old junk!

584
01:19:31,976 --> 01:19:34,410
Chou Yuan, just admit your guilt!

585
01:19:34,612 --> 01:19:37,775
Let's challenge
degenerate Western art!

586
01:19:37,982 --> 01:19:41,418
Comrade, may I say a few words?

587
01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:45,020
Of course.

588
01:19:46,157 --> 01:19:50,753
Students, comrades,
revolutionary Red Guards...

589
01:19:52,329 --> 01:19:55,321
I'm not an authority
on foreign music.

590
01:19:55,566 --> 01:19:58,592
I have not studied
like Comrade Chan Gong.

591
01:19:58,803 --> 01:20:00,862
But in my opinion...

592
01:20:01,105 --> 01:20:04,632
there's nothing as beautiful
as our traditional music.

593
01:20:05,276 --> 01:20:08,439
Chou Yuan also teaches
the hu chin.

594
01:20:08,879 --> 01:20:11,712
Could he not focus on that?

595
01:20:18,656 --> 01:20:22,649
Comrade Xiang
has shown her wisdom.

596
01:20:28,666 --> 01:20:33,535
Put this down with
the other ''great olds''!

597
01:20:42,179 --> 01:20:45,546
To every probIem
there is a solution!

598
01:20:45,749 --> 01:20:48,513
I'm sure you can
discover the probIems.

599
01:20:48,719 --> 01:20:51,153
And I'm sure you can solve them.

600
01:23:47,765 --> 01:23:50,199
Who is it?

601
01:23:52,136 --> 01:23:54,263
Who's there?

602
01:23:57,241 --> 01:24:01,507
Ming! You scared me.
I didn't hear you.

603
01:24:10,421 --> 01:24:13,117
It's a mess. I was tidying up.

604
01:24:13,324 --> 01:24:15,121
What's that?

605
01:24:17,795 --> 01:24:19,558
This is a violin...

606
01:24:20,497 --> 01:24:23,091
a musical instrument from Europe.

607
01:24:23,300 --> 01:24:26,030
From Europe? Is it a bad thing?

608
01:24:26,236 --> 01:24:30,605
No. A violin itself is a good thing.

609
01:24:31,075 --> 01:24:33,407
Here. Take a look.

610
01:24:36,647 --> 01:24:40,708
We have to study foreign music
so we can move on...

611
01:24:40,918 --> 01:24:44,319
...as Chairman Mao said.
-Dad asked if you're coming.

612
01:24:44,555 --> 01:24:47,820
-He's waiting.
-Yes, tell him I'll come right away.

613
01:24:48,058 --> 01:24:51,323
As soon as I finish my work.

614
01:24:55,132 --> 01:24:58,124
-Ming?
-Yes?

615
01:24:59,470 --> 01:25:04,305
What you see here...
don't tell anyone.

616
01:25:10,848 --> 01:25:12,543
I want you to listen.

617
01:26:06,904 --> 01:26:09,998
This will be our secret, all right?

618
01:26:14,611 --> 01:26:16,374
Go.

619
01:26:41,572 --> 01:26:44,439
Ming? Ming!

620
01:26:46,109 --> 01:26:47,872
-Was she home?
-Yes.

621
01:26:48,078 --> 01:26:52,174
-Is she coming?
-No. She said she'd meet you.

622
01:26:52,382 --> 01:26:55,374
-What? Is she coming or not?
-I can't say.

623
01:26:55,586 --> 01:26:59,181
-Why not?
-I promised her to keep it secret.

624
01:26:59,389 --> 01:27:04,224
What are you saying? I'm your father.
You must tell me everything.

625
01:27:06,897 --> 01:27:09,491
Papa, wait!

626
01:27:11,301 --> 01:27:13,064
-Xiang Pei?
-Papa, don't!

627
01:27:13,270 --> 01:27:15,204
Xiang Pei, open up! It's me!

628
01:27:16,206 --> 01:27:18,197
Where is the key?

629
01:27:18,408 --> 01:27:20,308
Go.

630
01:27:29,686 --> 01:27:31,620
Quiet!

631
01:27:40,397 --> 01:27:42,797
Where is she?

632
01:27:47,371 --> 01:27:49,168
Water! Water!

633
01:28:02,686 --> 01:28:04,881
She's gone!

634
01:28:40,190 --> 01:28:42,215
Is this her?

635
01:28:49,166 --> 01:28:52,897
Look at the date: 1937.
It must be her mother.

636
01:29:14,658 --> 01:29:16,626
Chou Yuan!

637
01:29:30,707 --> 01:29:32,834
-What do you want?
-Please let me in.

638
01:29:33,043 --> 01:29:36,604
-I've done nothing.
-Let me inside.

639
01:29:50,093 --> 01:29:53,426
-This is for you.
-I don't want it.

640
01:30:03,140 --> 01:30:05,870
It's for you. Take it.

641
01:30:07,644 --> 01:30:09,134
It's a violin.

642
01:30:10,080 --> 01:30:13,243
-A violin.
-I remember.

643
01:30:16,086 --> 01:30:18,486
Do you want it or not?

644
01:30:18,722 --> 01:30:23,557
I'm an old man, but I'm not a fool.
Where are your comrades?

645
01:30:23,760 --> 01:30:27,662
-Are they waiting outside?
-This isn't a trap.

646
01:30:27,864 --> 01:30:31,561
I've changed.
I don't need it now.

647
01:30:31,768 --> 01:30:33,668
-I speak from my heart.
-Enough!

648
01:30:36,073 --> 01:30:38,405
And I don't need this.

649
01:30:39,242 --> 01:30:41,437
It's from another time.

650
01:30:43,046 --> 01:30:45,571
If you want it, you can have it...

651
01:30:46,450 --> 01:30:49,146
or else no one will.

652
01:30:51,188 --> 01:30:53,088
Do you want it or not?

653
01:30:56,660 --> 01:30:58,855
I've no time!

654
01:30:59,596 --> 01:31:01,223
No more arguments!

655
01:31:04,234 --> 01:31:06,031
Take it.

656
01:31:08,872 --> 01:31:14,868
I am a cadre in the Party,
do you understand? I can't keep it.

657
01:31:15,812 --> 01:31:19,805
I Iove the people.
Do you understand?

658
01:31:34,831 --> 01:31:36,492
Xiang Pei!

659
01:31:40,003 --> 01:31:42,198
I will keep it safe.

660
01:31:51,381 --> 01:31:56,580
-Let's go eat. I'm starving.
-Go ahead. I'll wait here.

661
01:31:56,787 --> 01:32:01,884
-I'm sure she'll be back.
-Let's go, you all!

662
01:32:20,143 --> 01:32:22,634
US$ 1,950 million.

663
01:32:23,947 --> 01:32:26,780
And... sold to the lady
on the left.

664
01:32:26,983 --> 01:32:31,750
The last sale of the evening, lot
number 72 on the turntable there...

665
01:32:31,955 --> 01:32:34,719
and star of the night...
Where is she?

666
01:32:34,925 --> 01:32:38,918
The last violin
of Nicolo Bussotti, 1681.

667
01:32:39,129 --> 01:32:41,324
-A masterpiece of the Golden Age.
-Do you see it?

668
01:32:41,531 --> 01:32:44,591
-No, not yet.
-If she will give us the pleasure.

669
01:32:46,636 --> 01:32:53,166
And here she is now, lot number 72,
the so-called ''Red Violin''.

670
01:32:53,643 --> 01:32:58,808
-It's not how I remember it.
-They've cleaned it up. It's better.

671
01:32:59,182 --> 01:33:01,480
US$ 260,000.
Good evening, Mr. Ruselsky.

672
01:33:02,385 --> 01:33:05,183
-US$ 270,000. Suzanne on the phone.
-Maybe if I heard it again.

673
01:33:05,388 --> 01:33:08,824
US$ 280,000. Back to you, Sir.
US$ 300,000 at the back of the hall.

674
01:33:09,025 --> 01:33:14,554
US$ 320,000. Suzanne, I see you.
340, I have you. 380, Mr. Ruselsky.

675
01:33:14,764 --> 01:33:16,891
The last card.

676
01:33:17,300 --> 01:33:19,131
The last card.

677
01:33:27,077 --> 01:33:32,071
-Oh my God!
-Courage, Madame. Upside down.

678
01:33:32,449 --> 01:33:37,910
At this point in the spread,
it might be good news.

679
01:33:40,290 --> 01:33:41,757
I feel...

680
01:33:42,792 --> 01:33:46,592
I feel the fast air
sweeping around you...

681
01:33:46,830 --> 01:33:51,392
carrying you, furious wind...

682
01:33:52,102 --> 01:33:53,933
and then stopping.

683
01:34:01,544 --> 01:34:06,106
Your journey will end.
No question. I see it.

684
01:34:06,316 --> 01:34:11,049
One way or another,
your travels are over.

685
01:34:13,523 --> 01:34:19,325
And there is trouble in this,
like always.

686
01:34:21,331 --> 01:34:25,427
But you... you are strong by now...

687
01:34:25,769 --> 01:34:28,897
strong like a tree in the forest.

688
01:34:29,105 --> 01:34:30,868
Where is he?

689
01:34:31,541 --> 01:34:33,736
Upstairs.

690
01:34:40,150 --> 01:34:44,143
You are not alone.
A crowd of faces...

691
01:34:44,387 --> 01:34:49,120
friends and family,
enemies, lovers.

692
01:34:49,793 --> 01:34:53,229
You will attract many admirers...

693
01:34:53,430 --> 01:34:55,830
fighting to win your hand.

694
01:34:57,300 --> 01:35:00,394
And money! Lots of money!

695
01:35:01,104 --> 01:35:04,870
No, Madame.
Don't be afraid.

696
01:35:05,742 --> 01:35:10,338
In this card I see...

697
01:35:11,815 --> 01:35:13,908
a rebirth.

698
01:35:16,252 --> 01:35:18,914
-And how was your flight?
-Very good. On time.

699
01:35:19,122 --> 01:35:22,819
-Sorry to cut your holiday short, but...
-It's all right. I'm excited, actually.

700
01:35:23,026 --> 01:35:24,926
-Like Christmas.
-Won't take too long.

701
01:35:25,128 --> 01:35:28,154
-We've already assessed them.
-Right. Ballpark.

702
01:35:28,365 --> 01:35:30,526
-And I only want you to confirm it.
-I got it.

703
01:35:30,734 --> 01:35:33,760
-A second opinion.
-I've done this sort of thing before.

704
01:35:33,970 --> 01:35:35,665
Can't wait to see it, actually.

705
01:35:38,108 --> 01:35:41,043
-This is Mr. Morritz, you know...
-Bon jour.

706
01:35:42,445 --> 01:35:45,937
-So, you're the expert?
-From New York.

707
01:35:47,017 --> 01:35:51,181
-You know what you're doing?
-Yes, New York.

708
01:35:51,721 --> 01:35:56,249
-You know what you're doing?
-Why, yes. I certainly hope so.

709
01:35:56,459 --> 01:35:58,984
These people from Duval's
have given us some figures...

710
01:35:59,195 --> 01:36:01,527
as the government of China.

711
01:36:02,632 --> 01:36:05,999
-So, what we need now is...
-A professional opinion.

712
01:36:06,536 --> 01:36:10,495
-No, a signed affidavit.
-That's what I'm here for.

713
01:36:10,707 --> 01:36:14,143
-Show me to the Strad.
-They all look the same to me.

714
01:36:14,344 --> 01:36:17,643
Ah, but they're not.
Please don't let me forget this.

715
01:36:17,847 --> 01:36:19,405
Over there.

716
01:36:26,389 --> 01:36:30,587
Ah, here she is.
It's a beautiful specimen.

717
01:36:34,264 --> 01:36:38,758
I'd say about... 1683.

718
01:36:39,969 --> 01:36:43,996
-Reminds me of the Cobbitt.
-These are the best quality pieces.

719
01:36:44,207 --> 01:36:47,870
Over here, if you'd like
to take a look...

720
01:36:48,078 --> 01:36:51,445
are the Iess promising entries,
some of them are pretty bad.

721
01:36:54,050 --> 01:36:58,248
-So I see.
-So, I guess I'll leave it to you then.

722
01:36:58,455 --> 01:37:02,255
I've taken care of the luggage.
I have a driver waiting.

723
01:37:02,826 --> 01:37:04,851
All right. I shouldn't be long.

724
01:37:37,727 --> 01:37:39,661
-Bon jour.
-Bon jour, Monsieur Morritz.

725
01:37:39,863 --> 01:37:43,390
-Everything is ready as you asked for.
-Same room as always?

726
01:37:43,600 --> 01:37:47,866
-Same room, but one story down.
-Then it's not the same room, is it?

727
01:37:48,071 --> 01:37:50,539
No, Sir, but it's the same
as the other one.

728
01:37:50,740 --> 01:37:54,676
-Sir, I have a message from your wife.
-Merci.

729
01:38:05,889 --> 01:38:07,857
Room 2.703.

730
01:38:08,725 --> 01:38:10,454
New York City, please.

731
01:38:11,561 --> 01:38:14,189
316-2799.

732
01:38:17,934 --> 01:38:23,304
Carrie? CharIes Morritz here.
I have a little gumshoe work for you.

733
01:38:23,506 --> 01:38:27,033
Cremona. Bussotti.
Get a pen.

734
01:38:33,283 --> 01:38:36,582
Made a cast of this
after we set the tabIe.

735
01:38:37,587 --> 01:38:39,316
Swiss.

736
01:38:39,522 --> 01:38:42,514
So, here we are.
Here's the before picture.

737
01:38:42,859 --> 01:38:46,192
Take a look at the corners. Not so bad.
I don't think we have to touch them.

738
01:38:46,396 --> 01:38:49,888
Some really nice perfling here.

739
01:38:51,034 --> 01:38:53,002
Lot of work to get it this far.

740
01:38:53,203 --> 01:38:56,229
Turn-of-the-century hackjob
with some horse glue and a patch...

741
01:38:56,439 --> 01:38:58,737
so I had to reset the neck.
That was the big job.

742
01:38:59,008 --> 01:39:01,704
Sound post, taiI piece.
New bridge, of course.

743
01:39:02,145 --> 01:39:06,946
But the body itself is remarkably good,
so I'll strip back some varnish here...

744
01:39:07,350 --> 01:39:09,944
-No, no, no.
-No what?

745
01:39:10,186 --> 01:39:13,417
I told you before.
Don't touch the varnish.

746
01:39:13,890 --> 01:39:17,690
-Well, that's not gonna be easy.
-If there's a probIem, I'll do it.

747
01:39:20,330 --> 01:39:23,458
Look, the auction's in two weeks.
I have 16 other instruments.

748
01:39:23,666 --> 01:39:26,897
Leroux is all over my ass. I still have
a Stein I haven't even touched...

749
01:39:27,103 --> 01:39:30,436
I want complete L.I.G.'s,
a resonance test, mass specs...

750
01:39:30,640 --> 01:39:33,905
and let's get some varnish samples
off to the lab, okay?

751
01:39:36,312 --> 01:39:41,079
This instrument is not a priority.
Every minute of my day is full.

752
01:39:41,284 --> 01:39:45,516
That's fine. We'll do this
after hours, all right?

753
01:39:53,062 --> 01:39:56,156
-These are the estimates?
-No, the reserves.

754
01:39:56,366 --> 01:39:59,096
-That we proposed to the Chinese?
-Right.

755
01:40:00,236 --> 01:40:02,033
And what about these?

756
01:40:02,238 --> 01:40:05,969
Those are some contentious items
you might not want to put on the block.

757
01:40:06,175 --> 01:40:09,042
They're badIy preserved
and hard to attribute.

758
01:40:09,879 --> 01:40:13,246
-What about that red one?
-Red one?

759
01:40:13,483 --> 01:40:16,247
Leroux seemed to think
it might be a Bussotti.

760
01:40:18,288 --> 01:40:19,812
Yes.

761
01:40:20,623 --> 01:40:24,957
It might be, but the label's obscured
and the varnish is odd...

762
01:40:25,161 --> 01:40:29,928
it's slightly opaque. And I'm afraid
as it stands, with no documentation...

763
01:40:30,667 --> 01:40:33,431
That's all you expect?

764
01:40:50,520 --> 01:40:56,789
''With all my heart''.

765
01:40:59,262 --> 01:41:02,527
You ever heard of the Red Violin?

766
01:41:02,732 --> 01:41:09,160
Sure. The Frederick Pope Bussotti?
Sure, I have, stories.

767
01:41:09,372 --> 01:41:12,808
-How about copies?
-One in London, the only one I know of.

768
01:41:13,009 --> 01:41:16,172
Supposed to be a copy
commissioned by Pope.

769
01:41:16,379 --> 01:41:19,871
-You know who has it?
-Some private collection.

770
01:41:21,150 --> 01:41:25,314
You think I could buy it
without tipping them off?

771
01:41:26,055 --> 01:41:28,455
Tipping them off to what?

772
01:41:28,658 --> 01:41:32,116
Well, we know for sure we have a
Bussotti. I can date it within the year.

773
01:41:32,328 --> 01:41:35,229
We still have this varnish
that doesn't configure, but...

774
01:41:35,431 --> 01:41:40,391
but we can run comparison tests and
see if this is the source of the copy.

775
01:41:43,172 --> 01:41:46,664
You know I should probably
tell my empIoyer.

776
01:41:46,876 --> 01:41:52,246
If what you're saying is any way true,
people could get a little... excited.

777
01:41:52,448 --> 01:41:56,214
-I could Iose my job over this.
-Yes, I know.

778
01:41:57,820 --> 01:42:02,280
You can go if you want to.
I can finish this myself.

779
01:42:26,349 --> 01:42:29,978
Madame Leroux says that she has
to have the catalog proofs for today.

780
01:42:31,888 --> 01:42:36,257
-Are you finished?
-Yes, they're back at my hotel.

781
01:42:36,459 --> 01:42:38,256
I've been working at night.

782
01:42:41,030 --> 01:42:42,827
Is there something else?

783
01:42:45,768 --> 01:42:47,929
Your wife called again.

784
01:42:49,205 --> 01:42:51,400
Close the door, please.

785
01:43:01,250 --> 01:43:03,582
Yes, is this the University of Montreal?

786
01:43:04,220 --> 01:43:06,882
Well, may I have the
Archaeology department, please?

787
01:43:10,993 --> 01:43:14,156
Hi. This is CharIes Morritz
over at Duval's.

788
01:43:14,363 --> 01:43:17,298
I sent you some varnish samples
on Tuesday.

789
01:43:18,901 --> 01:43:22,393
Yeah, I wanted you to
isolate an organic compound.

790
01:44:00,409 --> 01:44:02,377
I'm sorry.

791
01:44:07,917 --> 01:44:09,714
Can I have the manager, please?

792
01:44:10,486 --> 01:44:14,582
Yes, the manager.
Well, fine, put him on.

793
01:44:16,726 --> 01:44:19,854
Yes, this is Mr. Morritz in 2.703.

794
01:44:20,062 --> 01:44:23,054
Listen, I want to make
something absolutely clear.

795
01:44:23,266 --> 01:44:26,429
I don't want anyone coming
to my room. You understand?

796
01:44:26,636 --> 01:44:31,130
Not the maid, not to check the minibar,
no chocolates on the pillow.

797
01:44:31,340 --> 01:44:34,741
I'm giving the staff sort of a break.
Understand?

798
01:44:34,944 --> 01:44:39,506
No one is to come in my room
unless I request it.

799
01:44:40,550 --> 01:44:42,074
Thank you.

800
01:45:02,805 --> 01:45:04,966
-Yes?
-I got it.

801
01:45:05,174 --> 01:45:08,200
It's coming.
I just talked to London.

802
01:45:08,411 --> 01:45:12,677
Well, a little bit of smooth talking,
a little bit more money. Your money.

803
01:45:14,383 --> 01:45:16,544
You better make those phone calls.

804
01:45:17,853 --> 01:45:20,117
Yeah, yeah. Me too.

805
01:45:21,023 --> 01:45:22,854
Well, actually, I had some ideas.

806
01:45:37,106 --> 01:45:38,835
-Wonderful.
-Yes.

807
01:45:39,041 --> 01:45:43,034
I have the recording.
Pretty good Strad, don't you think?

808
01:45:43,245 --> 01:45:45,440
I feel it is a bit tight on the top.

809
01:45:45,648 --> 01:45:48,446
A little bit strangled over the break.

810
01:45:48,651 --> 01:45:51,779
To me it's very clean and precise.

811
01:45:51,988 --> 01:45:54,821
Of course, it would have
to be played by a master.

812
01:45:55,825 --> 01:45:59,989
-What do you guess?
-US$ 1,7... 1,8 million.

813
01:46:00,196 --> 01:46:02,255
-Not bad.
-Trust me on this.

814
01:46:02,465 --> 01:46:06,367
-What else do you have?
-That's about it. Thanks for coming.

815
01:46:06,569 --> 01:46:08,628
I hope you don't have
an orchestra waiting.

816
01:46:08,838 --> 01:46:11,830
Well, they can wait. No probIem.

817
01:46:14,410 --> 01:46:16,742
What about this here?

818
01:46:17,079 --> 01:46:19,047
No, not that one.

819
01:46:20,082 --> 01:46:23,882
-Nice little piece.
-But not for you.

820
01:46:25,521 --> 01:46:28,319
-I will try it.
-No, no, no. Don't play it.

821
01:46:28,524 --> 01:46:30,685
-Why not?
-Yes, why not?

822
01:46:30,893 --> 01:46:35,455
I just repaired it. It's still fragiIe.
I don't even know why it's here.

823
01:46:35,665 --> 01:46:38,793
I'll be very gentle.
Don't worry.

824
01:47:31,887 --> 01:47:36,551
Yes, I see what you mean.
Nothing special.

825
01:47:45,501 --> 01:47:47,230
How's it going?

826
01:47:49,705 --> 01:47:53,197
What do you want me to do
with that one... the Pope copy?

827
01:47:53,409 --> 01:47:55,969
I'll take it back to the hotel with me.

828
01:47:56,178 --> 01:48:01,480
Well, you got your money's worth.
That is a very good copy. Nice violin.

829
01:48:02,084 --> 01:48:04,780
But nothing like this one.

830
01:48:04,987 --> 01:48:09,651
This is the single most perfect
acoustic machine...

831
01:48:09,992 --> 01:48:12,460
I have ever seen.

832
01:48:14,764 --> 01:48:16,459
Amazing.

833
01:48:26,542 --> 01:48:29,204
Guess I never thought I'd find it.

834
01:48:32,948 --> 01:48:36,577
The ultimate... thing, as I see it.

835
01:48:38,654 --> 01:48:44,058
The perfect marriage of
science and beauty.

836
01:48:46,395 --> 01:48:48,158
ImpossibIe thing.

837
01:48:50,800 --> 01:48:52,495
Now what?

838
01:48:53,636 --> 01:48:59,302
What do you do when the thing
you've most wanted, so... perfect...

839
01:49:00,476 --> 01:49:02,569
just comes?

840
01:49:09,185 --> 01:49:12,052
-Do you have children?
-What?

841
01:49:12,254 --> 01:49:17,021
-ChiIdren. Do you have any?
-No, but I know what you mean.

842
01:49:17,226 --> 01:49:20,024
I would Iove to have
this baby for myself.

843
01:49:20,696 --> 01:49:23,927
Really? What would you do?

844
01:49:25,000 --> 01:49:28,197
Take it apart, find out how it works.

845
01:49:28,404 --> 01:49:31,737
Take some Eigenbaud readings
on the individual plates...

846
01:49:31,941 --> 01:49:37,641
-I don't think you get it.
-Yes, I do. Take a look at this.

847
01:49:38,414 --> 01:49:44,284
This is mode 1.06 kHz.
Watch the response curve here.

848
01:49:49,058 --> 01:49:51,720
I'll ease it up sIowIy for you.

849
01:49:56,966 --> 01:49:59,127
Mode 2...

850
01:50:03,906 --> 01:50:05,464
Stop it!

851
01:50:11,146 --> 01:50:12,841
-Bon jour, Monsieur Morritz.
-Bon jour.

852
01:50:13,048 --> 01:50:16,779
Oh, and I have an envelope for you
from University of Montreal.

853
01:50:18,787 --> 01:50:21,654
This says this arrived at 7 o'clock.
I was in my room.

854
01:50:21,857 --> 01:50:24,485
-Yes, Sir.
-Well, why wasn't I notified?

855
01:50:24,793 --> 01:50:28,388
-Sir, you told us not to disturb you.
-Not for a courier.

856
01:50:28,597 --> 01:50:31,327
-I didn't know, Sir.
-If a courier comes, you call me.

857
01:50:31,533 --> 01:50:34,127
-If a fax comes, you call me.
-Yes.

858
01:50:34,336 --> 01:50:39,569
It's important. You get it? You knock
on my door and you put it in my hand!

859
01:50:40,309 --> 01:50:43,710
-I need you to acknowIedge.
-Yes.

860
01:50:47,750 --> 01:50:50,218
This is my business!

861
01:54:34,576 --> 01:54:40,276
Mr. Morritz, I'm sorry. You'd better
come up. They're waiting for you.

862
01:54:40,482 --> 01:54:42,382
All right.

863
01:54:46,555 --> 01:54:50,889
So nice of you to join us. I hope you
don't mind us starting without you...

864
01:54:51,093 --> 01:54:55,029
but there was the question of unusual
expenses, both here in the office...

865
01:54:55,230 --> 01:54:58,199
and at the hotel.

866
01:54:58,400 --> 01:55:01,631
-Did you check my mini-bar too?
-It is our card. We are paying.

867
01:55:01,837 --> 01:55:05,796
You made me wonder, so we decided
to come down and have a look.

868
01:55:06,008 --> 01:55:07,873
And my... you have been busy.

869
01:55:08,243 --> 01:55:12,179
With the courier bills and DNA tests...

870
01:55:12,381 --> 01:55:16,147
Very curious procedures.
Leroux has a theory.

871
01:55:16,485 --> 01:55:18,419
Tell me if she's wrong.

872
01:55:23,525 --> 01:55:28,986
Is our little red violin
the Red Violin?

873
01:55:35,938 --> 01:55:40,341
Yes. I just wanted to be
sure before I told you.

874
01:55:40,542 --> 01:55:46,037
-This is very good news.
-I'll send off the press release.

875
01:55:50,085 --> 01:55:53,577
Good work. Thank you.

876
01:55:54,289 --> 01:55:58,248
Why don't you take these last
few days off... before you go home?

877
01:56:06,401 --> 01:56:08,961
No. I won't forget!

878
01:56:09,972 --> 01:56:12,566
He lied!
He lied to me!

879
01:56:12,774 --> 01:56:17,711
And I knew it as soon as I saw it.
And I said it.

880
01:56:18,981 --> 01:56:22,246
This instrument should be mine.

881
01:56:23,986 --> 01:56:25,613
Son of a bitch!

882
01:56:26,722 --> 01:56:28,121
63...

883
01:56:29,725 --> 01:56:31,249
56...

884
01:56:33,228 --> 01:56:34,559
51...

885
01:57:22,744 --> 01:57:25,110
Ladies and gentlemen, Duval's...

886
01:57:25,314 --> 01:57:28,442
would like to welcome
you to this awaited evening.

887
01:57:28,650 --> 01:57:32,086
Our thanks
to the government of China...

888
01:57:32,287 --> 01:57:35,518
for entrusting us with this
marvelous collection.

889
01:57:35,724 --> 01:57:38,318
Thanks too to Madame Leroux...

890
01:57:38,527 --> 01:57:41,928
who organized and made
possibIe this auction.

891
01:57:42,130 --> 01:57:45,463
Let me remind you that
the conditions of sale...

892
01:57:45,667 --> 01:57:47,430
are Iisted in the catalog.

893
01:57:47,636 --> 01:57:51,367

of the catalog.

895
01:57:53,875 --> 01:57:58,107
I will not read them out Ioud at this
point but consider yourselves warned.

896
01:57:59,614 --> 01:58:03,243
Now, we'll begin with lot number one,

01:59:09,618 --> 01:59:13,019

-I might have to go around the block.

906
01:59:13,221 --> 01:59:15,280

931
02:00:48,984 --> 02:00:50,713
Who's responsibIe for...?

932
02:00:52,454 --> 02:00:56,390
Excuse me,
I have to get the last lot now.

933
02:00:56,591 --> 02:01:00,925
-What's going on?
-Sorry, but we're going to have to...

939
02:01:24,252 --> 02:01:27,585

974
02:03:38,887 --> 02:03:40,514
Right away.

975
02:03:41,756 --> 02:03:47,126
Fair warning. I'm selling now
at US$ 2,400 million.

976

Hey, baby, it's me.

Yes.

981
02:04:28,269 --> 02:04:32,899
Yes. Yes, I wanted to,
every day, but...

982
02:04:33,308 --> 02:04:38,974
Well, something came up, but it's
over now, and I'm coming home.

983
02:04:41,416 --> 02:04:44,180
Oh, yeah. May I speak to her?

984
02:04:46,788 --> 02:04:49,256
Hi, honey. It's Daddy.

985
02:04:49,457 --> 02:04:51,084
How are you?

986
02:04:51,626 --> 02:04:54,322
I miss you too.

987
02:04:55,263 --> 02:04:57,231
I'm coming home.

988
02:04:57,432 --> 02:05:01,198
And honey? I'm bringing you
something very special.

989
02:05:06,374 --> 02:05:08,137
Madame?

990
02:05:08,576 --> 02:05:10,510
Are you all right?

991
02:05:10,712 --> 02:05:13,374
Is everything all right?

992
02:05:16,451 --> 02:05:18,976
Yes, I'm sorry.

993
02:05:20,855 --> 02:05:23,415
You have the visions.

994
02:05:25,460 --> 02:05:29,920
No. I'd better go now.
My husband.

995
02:05:31,833 --> 02:05:34,700
Of course. Go to your husband.

996
02:05:39,841 --> 02:05:42,036
Thanks, Cesca.
