Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,000
Inspired by real facts
2
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,800
The world is illuminated by fire.
3
00:01:35,224 --> 00:01:39,624
The machines are operated by
hand, on foot or by steam.
4
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,853
Engineer George Westinghouse gained immense
5
00:01:44,078 --> 00:01:46,224
wealth thanks to the
invention of air brakes.
6
00:01:46,267 --> 00:01:49,272
He invested in natural gas, considered
the future of lighting and industry.
7
00:01:49,296 --> 00:01:52,374
The inventor Thomas Edison,
famous all over the world but penniless,
8
00:01:52,399 --> 00:01:54,720
works day and night on a superior
alternative: electricity.
9
00:01:55,844 --> 00:01:59,844
They are about to compete
to create the modern world.
10
00:03:19,501 --> 00:03:20,501
Guys!
11
00:03:32,335 --> 00:03:34,625
I hope you brought your checkbook.
12
00:03:56,835 --> 00:03:59,709
The air brakes are paying
for the latest obsession of George.
13
00:03:59,710 --> 00:04:06,084
By changing the size of the
pipes, you can move the 20 km gas.
14
00:04:06,085 --> 00:04:07,792
It's like shooting with a pistol.
15
00:04:07,793 --> 00:04:10,501
It's a good or bad thing, Mrs.
Westinghouse?
16
00:04:11,876 --> 00:04:14,459
- How's your daughter, Gladys?
- Oh, very well, thank you.
17
00:04:14,460 --> 00:04:16,335
She knew a financier.
18
00:04:16,668 --> 00:04:20,209
- The dress is decorating delicious.
- It took two years...
19
00:04:20,210 --> 00:04:24,417
I read in The World that the
electrical system of Mr. Edison
20
00:04:24,418 --> 00:04:29,209
It is considerably cheaper gas.
This keeps you awake at night?
21
00:04:29,210 --> 00:04:31,460
There is always more to see.
22
00:04:32,251 --> 00:04:33,959
Mr. and Mrs. Worthington,
23
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,625
Mr. Manesberg, Doctor and Mrs. Burton,
24
00:04:36,626 --> 00:04:38,625
Rev. Vincent, Signor McCoy,
25
00:04:38,626 --> 00:04:41,126
Mr. Faulk, Miss Faulk, enjoy the evening.
26
00:04:53,918 --> 00:04:57,168
Edison says that in a few months
will illuminate the world.
27
00:04:57,460 --> 00:05:01,835
It's amazing, but it will take
ten years to put it into practice.
28
00:05:02,585 --> 00:05:05,626
The newspapers I describe it as
if it were something different.
29
00:05:06,668 --> 00:05:08,251
A miracle.
30
00:05:09,001 --> 00:05:12,085
As if we begin to Ievitare the ground.
31
00:05:13,335 --> 00:05:15,750
I'd love to meet him.
You can think about you?
32
00:05:15,751 --> 00:05:17,459
- It's been several years. - A dinner.
33
00:05:17,460 --> 00:05:19,542
Quiet. Elegant. Pragmatics.
34
00:05:19,543 --> 00:05:23,459
Edison hates tie their shoes,
let alone participate in a social event.
35
00:05:23,460 --> 00:05:24,625
Maybe you're right.
36
00:05:24,626 --> 00:05:26,126
But I myself try it.
37
00:05:29,376 --> 00:05:31,126
Something fascinating?
38
00:05:31,668 --> 00:05:35,500
Mr. Pennoyer found a deal
for a building in Newport.
39
00:05:35,501 --> 00:05:37,292
The mother of Mrs. Abernathy died,
40
00:05:37,293 --> 00:05:40,585
and, apparently, Edison believes
that it will never be night.
41
00:05:40,709 --> 00:05:43,909
The man who enlightened the world
42
00:05:43,918 --> 00:05:46,334
- Are you happy to know the President?
- Yup.
43
00:05:46,335 --> 00:05:48,250
Do not say anything on the JP Morgan nose.
44
00:05:48,251 --> 00:05:49,834
- What's her nose? - Anything.
45
00:05:49,835 --> 00:05:52,459
- What's her nose? - It's huge.
46
00:05:52,460 --> 00:05:53,584
Huge.
47
00:05:53,585 --> 00:05:56,209
It's like they took a hammer
and had they thrown in his face.
48
00:05:56,210 --> 00:05:59,125
- I thought you already got the money.
- Only half.
49
00:05:59,126 --> 00:06:02,043
- Morgan know you'll be there too?
- It will invest, as always.
50
00:06:03,043 --> 00:06:04,709
- You expect dinner with Westinghouse.
- Thing?
51
00:06:04,710 --> 00:06:06,709
Dinner with Westinghouse. On the way back.
52
00:06:06,710 --> 00:06:08,042
Why stables are red?
53
00:06:08,043 --> 00:06:11,500
- Maybe see them better when it snows.
- Why does the red paint costs less.
54
00:06:11,501 --> 00:06:13,959
Morgan wants to learn about
the convenience of your system.
55
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,459
I have the money.
56
00:06:15,460 --> 00:06:17,375
Enough for two buildings in Manhattan?
57
00:06:17,376 --> 00:06:19,460
- Yes. - Great!
58
00:06:33,251 --> 00:06:35,292
This was to be my lunch.
59
00:06:35,293 --> 00:06:37,459
The President has asked to
see the person phonograph.
60
00:06:37,460 --> 00:06:39,251
I had no idea you were there too.
61
00:06:39,501 --> 00:06:40,584
Mrs. Edison.
62
00:06:40,585 --> 00:06:42,209
Mr. Morgan. Meet our children.
63
00:06:42,210 --> 00:06:44,793
Dot and Dash. Delicious.
I know what you are doing.
64
00:06:45,293 --> 00:06:48,000
How much do you need? How much
money do you want to take me away?
65
00:06:48,001 --> 00:06:50,376
Oh, as much as possible.
66
00:06:51,293 --> 00:06:54,251
Samuel lnsull.
Personal secretary of Mr. Edison.
67
00:06:55,293 --> 00:06:56,709
Mr. Morgan, Mr. Edison.
68
00:06:56,710 --> 00:06:58,709
Which? He is Mr. Edison.
69
00:06:58,710 --> 00:07:00,418
Lunch is served.
70
00:07:15,710 --> 00:07:17,918
This is the sound of your voice.
71
00:07:26,043 --> 00:07:27,585
This really is my voice?
72
00:07:30,335 --> 00:07:32,292
I heard that you refused
five million dollars.
73
00:07:32,293 --> 00:07:34,334
Thank you for the offer, Mr. President,
74
00:07:34,335 --> 00:07:38,000
but it is the kind of science that
pursued which I find regrettable.
75
00:07:38,001 --> 00:07:39,084
There is always money in weapons.
76
00:07:39,085 --> 00:07:42,625
The only device that will not construct
is what takes the life of a man.
77
00:07:42,626 --> 00:07:43,835
It's barbaric.
78
00:07:44,376 --> 00:07:45,543
Ma...
79
00:07:46,585 --> 00:07:47,668
look this.
80
00:07:48,001 --> 00:07:51,042
A square kilometer of
Manhattan, the First District.
81
00:07:51,043 --> 00:07:52,250
And I will enlighten you.
82
00:07:52,251 --> 00:07:54,209
- There you are successful.
- A star in a jar.
83
00:07:54,210 --> 00:07:55,875
A warm glow.
84
00:07:55,876 --> 00:07:57,459
Nothing stinks. Nothing harmful.
85
00:07:57,460 --> 00:08:00,625
Thirteen hours of light for each
sphere, and it is more economic gas.
86
00:08:00,626 --> 00:08:03,085
And it is also safer.
We use the cables with direct current.
87
00:08:03,543 --> 00:08:07,085
And those same cables will
bring energy and heat.
88
00:08:07,668 --> 00:08:10,626
I need two buildings to install
six dynamo of my building.
89
00:08:11,001 --> 00:08:12,750
He does not even reach my house.
90
00:08:12,751 --> 00:08:13,875
Morgan...
91
00:08:13,876 --> 00:08:17,167
I will make you so rich that
you look back on this time
92
00:08:17,168 --> 00:08:20,376
and you may wonder why I
was so disgustingly poor.
93
00:08:22,210 --> 00:08:25,375
It's all here. It will happen on
Wall Street. In case you I lost it,
94
00:08:25,376 --> 00:08:28,334
will end up directly in the New York Times.
Advertising for free.
95
00:08:28,335 --> 00:08:30,542
- One hundred and fifty. - Half a million.
96
00:08:30,543 --> 00:08:35,750
$ 500,000 and the next century
will be bright, safe and yours.
97
00:08:35,751 --> 00:08:39,000
It seems fantastic, Pierpont.
If I had your luck...
98
00:08:39,001 --> 00:08:40,641
With all due respect, you do not have it.
99
00:08:42,060 --> 00:08:45,060
(His nose looks like a cherry)
100
00:08:45,085 --> 00:08:46,710
- What's this? - Is not that nice.
101
00:08:47,126 --> 00:08:48,585
Morse Code.
102
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,375
What did the kid?
103
00:08:52,376 --> 00:08:54,918
- My pleasure, Mr. President.
- What did the kid?
104
00:08:57,126 --> 00:08:58,585
You know what you've done?
105
00:08:59,876 --> 00:09:01,835
Get more saying no.
106
00:09:03,918 --> 00:09:06,501
System by the Manhattan offices
and a professional look.
107
00:09:06,876 --> 00:09:07,876
What does it mean?
108
00:09:07,877 --> 00:09:09,126
I do not know. Carpets...
109
00:09:10,501 --> 00:09:12,168
And I do not know. Carpets.
110
00:09:13,126 --> 00:09:14,210
And the name?
111
00:09:16,168 --> 00:09:19,792
Edison Electric obviously.
Lord, why not build ammunition?
112
00:09:19,793 --> 00:09:21,542
Cirjque million. It's hard to say no.
113
00:09:21,543 --> 00:09:22,543
At the.
114
00:09:23,251 --> 00:09:24,917
If it is done by Edison, it will work.
115
00:09:24,918 --> 00:09:27,626
And if it works,
I would prefer not to kill anyone.
116
00:09:29,126 --> 00:09:30,418
Quite right.
117
00:09:59,168 --> 00:10:03,500
Thomas Edison has a negative opinion
of graduates looking for a job,
118
00:10:03,501 --> 00:10:06,293
because they fail to
answer his exam questions.
119
00:10:07,168 --> 00:10:08,888
"Who composed Il Trovatore?"
120
00:10:09,043 --> 00:10:10,417
Verdi.
121
00:10:10,418 --> 00:10:12,125
"What
is the speed of sound?"
122
00:10:12,126 --> 00:10:13,292
A trick question.
123
00:10:13,293 --> 00:10:16,375
Sound travels at a speed
steadily declining.
124
00:10:16,376 --> 00:10:22,167
But I think the highest
speed recorded is 343 mls.
125
00:10:22,168 --> 00:10:23,792
How do you know all this?
126
00:10:23,793 --> 00:10:25,668
I read it this morning.
127
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,376
This is something different.
128
00:10:33,168 --> 00:10:34,710
Me I feel.
129
00:10:35,751 --> 00:10:38,251
You never invited guests before.
130
00:10:39,251 --> 00:10:40,710
Really?
131
00:10:51,293 --> 00:10:53,574
Among eight minutes we will
be the junction station, sir.
132
00:10:53,835 --> 00:10:55,501
Dinner with Westinghouse.
133
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,418
Let's go home. They are tired.
I shook too many hands today.
134
00:11:03,043 --> 00:11:04,543
Good evening, F tank.
135
00:11:04,876 --> 00:11:06,418
George!
136
00:11:07,501 --> 00:11:08,585
Sorry?
137
00:11:09,293 --> 00:11:11,168
I will not stop.
138
00:11:13,085 --> 00:11:14,085
Agree.
139
00:11:26,085 --> 00:11:27,960
Maybe the brakes are broken.
140
00:11:30,043 --> 00:11:31,043
I doubt it.
141
00:11:57,793 --> 00:11:59,085
It's kind emergency in New York.
142
00:12:21,501 --> 00:12:23,126
Do not be disturbed by him.
143
00:12:24,126 --> 00:12:25,918
It did well.
144
00:12:27,085 --> 00:12:29,876
Before he became a magician,
I did live in my basement.
145
00:12:30,626 --> 00:12:33,667
My wife I was sitting at the table
only if it were washed first.
146
00:12:33,668 --> 00:12:36,459
Then, I gave him an ultimatum
and he was left to eat alone.
147
00:12:36,460 --> 00:12:38,168
How does it work?
148
00:12:39,668 --> 00:12:41,125
You want to know the secret?
149
00:12:41,126 --> 00:12:45,168
Design your own reality and look
for the needle in the haystack.
150
00:12:46,376 --> 00:12:48,584
And how do you know that
there's a needle to look for?
151
00:12:48,585 --> 00:12:51,250
I do not know. And neither do you.
152
00:12:51,251 --> 00:12:53,667
But it is so determined to be
the second person to find it,
153
00:12:53,668 --> 00:12:56,500
that I look stem to stem.
154
00:12:56,501 --> 00:12:59,875
I'll tell you one good thing about him.
It could be the richest on Earth,
155
00:12:59,876 --> 00:13:02,335
but it does not care about the money.
156
00:13:04,668 --> 00:13:06,876
And what does it matter?
157
00:13:11,001 --> 00:13:12,001
(Sea)'-
158
00:13:12,168 --> 00:13:13,085
Speaks.
159
00:13:13,086 --> 00:13:15,417
- I want to test the resistance.
- Where's my clip?
160
00:13:15,418 --> 00:13:17,417
- On your bureau. - What is a bureau?
161
00:13:17,418 --> 00:13:18,738
It's what's underneath your clip.
162
00:13:19,168 --> 00:13:22,292
Will I be able to make you
promise to build me a fence?
163
00:13:22,293 --> 00:13:24,835
The ground is frozen. He must thaw.
164
00:13:27,418 --> 00:13:28,460
I ve been missing!
165
00:13:30,126 --> 00:13:33,001
It's a puppy! It is m
166
00:13:37,918 --> 00:13:39,001
Tom, come and see.
167
00:13:42,668 --> 00:13:43,750
Tor"!
168
00:13:44,835 --> 00:13:45,835
Tor"!
169
00:13:47,501 --> 00:13:48,792
You want half a million dollars?
170
00:13:48,793 --> 00:13:52,500
Made something with your name that
I can sell to General Sherman.
171
00:13:52,501 --> 00:13:54,750
Counter Offer.
And if I gave you what you want,
172
00:13:54,751 --> 00:13:57,001
but you gave me everything I want?
173
00:13:59,835 --> 00:14:04,125
We will become great, great, great!
174
00:14:04,126 --> 00:14:06,835
- Larger than an elephant?
- Nobody stops an elephant!
175
00:15:49,876 --> 00:15:51,043
It will work.
176
00:16:03,793 --> 00:16:06,710
I must be sincere. It may not work.
177
00:16:08,501 --> 00:16:11,668
Common sense says that
if you fail miserably,
178
00:16:11,835 --> 00:16:13,876
you better not do it in
front of a crowd of people.
179
00:16:13,900 --> 00:16:15,900
New York Stock Exchange
180
00:16:17,168 --> 00:16:19,668
Tonight, things could change.
181
00:16:20,085 --> 00:16:21,501
And I hope so.
182
00:16:22,668 --> 00:16:24,168
If so...
183
00:16:25,585 --> 00:16:27,168
change there...
184
00:16:28,418 --> 00:16:29,418
and there.
185
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,375
Me and my boys have caught in a jar
186
00:16:34,376 --> 00:16:38,043
what before only he shone in the night sky.
187
00:16:39,376 --> 00:16:42,668
How about removing the
cover and see what happens?
188
00:16:44,626 --> 00:16:45,626
You are ready?
189
00:16:46,460 --> 00:16:47,918
Three, two...
190
00:16:48,501 --> 00:16:49,501
ear.
191
00:17:47,543 --> 00:17:51,709
It has only 30 meters of
copper to 87 customers.
192
00:17:51,710 --> 00:17:53,543
Do not ever bring in revenue.
193
00:17:54,376 --> 00:17:57,500
It is a peri-rich hobby.
Something to brag about.
194
00:17:57,501 --> 00:17:59,043
It should not have to be.
195
00:18:01,626 --> 00:18:04,042
I recorded the patents
for the Siemens dynamo
196
00:18:04,043 --> 00:18:05,417
and the transformer Gaulard-Gibbs.
197
00:18:05,418 --> 00:18:08,125
Transformer?
It looks more like a metal suitcase.
198
00:18:08,126 --> 00:18:09,543
How much cost?
199
00:18:10,460 --> 00:18:13,335
Edison has chosen the wrong horse.
200
00:18:14,210 --> 00:18:16,584
Its current is like a
tube with a knot inside,
201
00:18:16,585 --> 00:18:18,792
It needs to sell a generator per kilometer.
202
00:18:18,793 --> 00:18:20,667
You want to build an AC system.
203
00:18:20,668 --> 00:18:22,250
It is too powerful for engines.
204
00:18:22,251 --> 00:18:25,167
Take off your doubts from head
for a minute and tell me...
205
00:18:25,168 --> 00:18:29,417
How far do you think you can
cover with one AC dynamo?
206
00:18:29,418 --> 00:18:31,084
- Some thousands. - The meters?
207
00:18:31,085 --> 00:18:32,709
Of kilometers.
208
00:18:32,710 --> 00:18:35,167
And how many houses can we reach?
209
00:18:35,168 --> 00:18:37,625
I guess all of them. And the bulbs?
210
00:18:37,626 --> 00:18:39,875
Hiram agreed to sell me his license.
211
00:18:39,876 --> 00:18:41,959
If you scrub Edison, do it right.
212
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,792
- They have a grayish color.
- I just want to do a demonstration.
213
00:18:44,793 --> 00:18:45,917
For Edison.
214
00:18:45,918 --> 00:18:48,417
I will choose a small town,
somewhere in the countryside.
215
00:18:48,418 --> 00:18:51,293
And you understand that you can toggle.
216
00:18:52,001 --> 00:18:54,168
We become members. Our system, its bulbs.
217
00:18:54,710 --> 00:18:58,584
My opinion,
based only on physical and reality,
218
00:18:58,585 --> 00:19:00,750
It is that you are only
interesting chatter.
219
00:19:00,751 --> 00:19:03,709
- But I do not think are possible. - Why?
220
00:19:03,710 --> 00:19:05,470
Because otherwise I
would have already done.
221
00:19:35,460 --> 00:19:39,043
My office in Paris believe that you are
the only man able to compete with me.
222
00:19:39,418 --> 00:19:40,918
How would you like to work with me?
223
00:19:41,418 --> 00:19:42,500
Very very much.
224
00:19:42,501 --> 00:19:44,584
I will expand into 12 cities,
225
00:19:44,585 --> 00:19:46,501
- with DC systems... - Continue?
226
00:19:49,376 --> 00:19:51,256
The alternating current
is much more efficient.
227
00:19:52,710 --> 00:19:54,084
Higher voltage.
228
00:19:54,085 --> 00:19:55,750
Greater distance. Less than copper wires.
229
00:19:55,751 --> 00:19:58,917
It is lethal, and it would be
too powerful for an engine.
230
00:19:58,918 --> 00:20:02,585
I will give $ 100 a month,
until you show you more or less worthy.
231
00:20:03,626 --> 00:20:05,292
- One hundred dollars?
- If you solve me five dilemmas,
232
00:20:05,293 --> 00:20:08,335
I will pay $ 50,000 and then I'll fire you.
233
00:20:09,043 --> 00:20:11,250
Mr. Tesla Welcome to the Edison Electric.
234
00:20:11,251 --> 00:20:13,209
We make a small invention every ten days
235
00:20:13,210 --> 00:20:15,335
and a major invention every six months.
236
00:20:19,043 --> 00:20:21,375
I suspect that despite
her husband's laboratory
237
00:20:21,376 --> 00:20:23,042
is a few hundred meters from your house,
238
00:20:23,043 --> 00:20:25,334
it is as if it were
hundreds of kilometers away.
239
00:20:25,335 --> 00:20:26,335
No, a million.
240
00:20:27,710 --> 00:20:31,126
I looked for a way to stop his head.
But keep thinking.
241
00:20:32,001 --> 00:20:34,167
It's something I can not control.
242
00:20:34,168 --> 00:20:36,167
I can only return to the center.
243
00:20:36,168 --> 00:20:39,584
I know that Mr. Edison has been
called the worst husband of America,
244
00:20:39,585 --> 00:20:42,417
since she spent their
wedding night in the lab.
245
00:20:42,418 --> 00:20:43,835
I too have heard that story.
246
00:20:48,251 --> 00:20:52,501
Well, our wedding night,
Tom and I we sull'Albany parties.
247
00:20:55,001 --> 00:20:56,001
The ship.
248
00:20:56,585 --> 00:20:59,751
We spent a week at Niagara Falls.
249
00:21:00,126 --> 00:21:02,334
I thought that one night of
happiness would have sufficed
250
00:21:02,335 --> 00:21:04,460
to illuminate a lifetime.
251
00:21:05,335 --> 00:21:09,167
It was a fascinating inventor
and I worked for him.
252
00:21:09,168 --> 00:21:10,293
I was a...
253
00:21:12,001 --> 00:21:13,585
I was a...
254
00:21:20,043 --> 00:21:21,085
I was a...
255
00:21:22,460 --> 00:21:23,668
Yup?
256
00:21:28,335 --> 00:21:29,418
Excuse me.
257
00:21:30,376 --> 00:21:32,751
Azionavo the...
258
00:21:37,376 --> 00:21:40,875
- Telegraph? - Are you. Are you.
259
00:21:40,876 --> 00:21:41,876
Telegraph.
260
00:21:44,501 --> 00:21:45,793
Excuse me.
261
00:21:49,835 --> 00:21:51,793
Your husband has some hobby?
262
00:22:02,585 --> 00:22:05,209
You promised them Coney Island.
263
00:22:05,210 --> 00:22:07,085
At least a walk.
264
00:22:07,543 --> 00:22:10,585
We will make three walks
tomorrow, I promise.
265
00:22:13,210 --> 00:22:15,293
Here, why do not you take a picture?
266
00:22:51,251 --> 00:22:54,501
It neuralgia, caused by eye strain.
267
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,209
A good pair of glasses will suffice.
268
00:22:57,210 --> 00:23:01,960
- Oh, no. Will I look awful.
- No it is not true. It's impossible.
269
00:23:02,210 --> 00:23:05,875
Are you sure? That's all?
It has terrible headaches.
270
00:23:05,876 --> 00:23:09,084
I'll leave one of laudanum phial
until your eyes do not improve.
271
00:23:09,085 --> 00:23:10,335
Thanks.
272
00:23:11,210 --> 00:23:12,210
Would you mind...
273
00:23:12,668 --> 00:23:16,043
Would you mind putting
off paying for the visit?
274
00:23:19,085 --> 00:23:21,376
My son wants your autograph.
275
00:23:48,876 --> 00:23:51,126
Damn, it is rudimentary.
276
00:23:52,626 --> 00:23:54,500
How much cost?
277
00:23:54,501 --> 00:23:55,460
Not me, I want to say.
278
00:23:55,461 --> 00:23:57,210
What we need is here.
279
00:23:57,918 --> 00:24:02,000
The Edison current can travel more
than a kilometer and runs out.
280
00:24:02,001 --> 00:24:04,917
Should build too many of DC motors
281
00:24:04,918 --> 00:24:06,000
only to power a city.
282
00:24:06,001 --> 00:24:09,375
This country will look
like a checkerboard of power plants.
283
00:24:09,376 --> 00:24:11,375
But with only
one alternating current dynamo,
284
00:24:11,376 --> 00:24:16,292
we can increase the tension
and get as far as eye can see.
285
00:24:16,293 --> 00:24:20,500
We tie up cables on poles.
Less copper, more electricity.
286
00:24:20,501 --> 00:24:22,625
Is cheaper by 75 percent.
287
00:24:22,626 --> 00:24:26,918
The only thing
that matters here is the distance.
288
00:25:13,918 --> 00:25:17,792
Frank, this belongs to
you, what belongs to me.
289
00:25:17,793 --> 00:25:20,250
- I would be honored if you get up...
- I could not.
290
00:25:20,251 --> 00:25:21,334
Do not be ridiculous.
291
00:25:21,335 --> 00:25:23,250
- This moment belongs to you.
- But you've spent hours...
292
00:25:23,251 --> 00:25:25,668
George, it's your idea.
You were the architect.
293
00:25:26,751 --> 00:25:28,543
Let's go for a ride?
294
00:25:31,967 --> 00:25:35,467
Demonstration of alternating current
295
00:25:37,501 --> 00:25:40,501
"Al mago di Menlo Park.
296
00:25:41,418 --> 00:25:44,209
Since it appears
that your brakes have problems,
297
00:25:44,210 --> 00:25:46,917
I would be honored to send my car
298
00:25:46,918 --> 00:25:50,793
to bring you in Great
Barrington, Massachusetts...
299
00:25:52,293 --> 00:25:56,793
where I sent with the current
success within a kilometer.
300
00:26:01,710 --> 00:26:04,001
How did the light bulbs?
301
00:26:05,710 --> 00:26:09,084
That deafening silence from the
most brilliant minds of America.
302
00:26:09,085 --> 00:26:10,209
Use the project of Hiram.
303
00:26:10,210 --> 00:26:14,126
That Hiram stole from me!
304
00:26:15,793 --> 00:26:17,209
- report it. - We already did.
305
00:26:17,210 --> 00:26:18,584
The court upheld its patent.
306
00:26:18,585 --> 00:26:20,334
I'm talking about Westinghouse.
Find some foothold.
307
00:26:20,335 --> 00:26:22,584
Barrington Go and look for yourself.
308
00:26:22,585 --> 00:26:24,000
Some of you are slightly annoyed
309
00:26:24,001 --> 00:26:27,625
by the fact that there are 15 years of
work by stealing from under his nose?
310
00:26:27,626 --> 00:26:29,125
Not yet!
311
00:26:29,126 --> 00:26:31,209
I built a system,
312
00:26:31,210 --> 00:26:35,835
and he goes to buy patents
to legally steal what's mine.
313
00:26:36,668 --> 00:26:40,667
If the bulbs, then inchiodatelo the dynamo.
314
00:26:40,668 --> 00:26:41,668
We can not.
315
00:26:43,460 --> 00:26:45,168
Not even using DC power, sir.
316
00:26:47,543 --> 00:26:49,710
Use the AC?
317
00:27:04,626 --> 00:27:05,626
Mary?
318
00:27:06,043 --> 00:27:08,293
Yes, I think we need more tea.
319
00:27:09,210 --> 00:27:10,210
Patricia?
320
00:27:27,293 --> 00:27:28,710
George Westinghouse?
321
00:27:29,585 --> 00:27:30,792
Can I help you?
322
00:27:30,793 --> 00:27:32,626
Check in from Thomas Edison.
323
00:27:33,168 --> 00:27:35,918
He wants me to buy a
generator per kilometer.
324
00:27:36,835 --> 00:27:40,959
Then, I read in the Globe
that your electricity
325
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,543
it would be more economic
than that of Edison of 66%.
326
00:27:45,418 --> 00:27:49,876
Well, it is only a proposal
and is not "my electricity."
327
00:27:50,501 --> 00:27:52,250
It is "electricity."
328
00:27:52,251 --> 00:27:54,792
I think it makes more sense
that the taxpayers of Columbus
329
00:27:54,793 --> 00:27:57,126
choose Westinghouse Electric.
330
00:27:58,293 --> 00:28:01,709
I do not want to compete.
I just want to patent my system.
331
00:28:01,710 --> 00:28:03,084
He has the best bulbs.
332
00:28:03,085 --> 00:28:06,125
Why not compete? By now I know.
Edison I know, I assure you,
333
00:28:06,126 --> 00:28:09,750
It does not care to do things right.
He just wants to do them.
334
00:28:09,751 --> 00:28:11,542
Does not answer.
335
00:28:11,543 --> 00:28:13,792
Westinghouse will
never have a complete system,
336
00:28:13,793 --> 00:28:16,459
- not azionerebbe a sewing machine.
- But I can fix it.
337
00:28:16,460 --> 00:28:19,667
Instead of converting the currents
to make them work with a switch,
338
00:28:19,668 --> 00:28:23,875
I would pass the alternating current
through two or more energy circuits.
339
00:28:23,876 --> 00:28:26,709
It should work on switches
with current dynamo.
340
00:28:26,710 --> 00:28:27,710
Well, I did.
341
00:28:27,711 --> 00:28:30,875
I did what you asked me,
but you're making a mistake.
342
00:28:30,876 --> 00:28:31,793
Thing?
343
00:28:31,794 --> 00:28:34,250
The direct current can
work pearls town when...
344
00:28:34,251 --> 00:28:35,500
When buildings are close together,
345
00:28:35,501 --> 00:28:37,500
but most of your country are empty spaces.
346
00:28:37,501 --> 00:28:39,125
Only the high voltage
can cover the distance.
347
00:28:39,126 --> 00:28:40,418
Do not think long-term.
348
00:28:41,085 --> 00:28:44,460
This technology is within your reach.
Can I build a good engine.
349
00:28:44,710 --> 00:28:45,835
Have you tried it?
350
00:28:46,210 --> 00:28:47,210
At the.
351
00:28:48,251 --> 00:28:49,834
In my head, it is almost complete.
352
00:28:49,835 --> 00:28:52,584
The men claim to have a head
full of sonnets and symphonies,
353
00:28:52,585 --> 00:28:55,667
but their problem is that
they can not write them.
354
00:28:55,668 --> 00:28:56,834
- Let me try. - No.
355
00:28:56,835 --> 00:28:59,417
I can not start over again!
356
00:28:59,418 --> 00:29:01,834
I had orders from Michigan.
Journalists are waiting for me.
357
00:29:01,835 --> 00:29:03,625
Do that for which you were hired.
358
00:29:03,626 --> 00:29:05,792
Therefore,
do not you keep your word on pay?
359
00:29:05,793 --> 00:29:08,084
- What are you talking about?
- You said $ 50,000.
360
00:29:08,085 --> 00:29:11,750
- It is not satisfied with my work?
- There'll pay $ 50,000.
361
00:29:11,751 --> 00:29:12,876
I was joking.
362
00:29:16,085 --> 00:29:20,084
Coconut fibers, fishing
line, cork, celluloid,
363
00:29:20,085 --> 00:29:23,375
flax, platinum, iron,
nickel, copper, steel.
364
00:29:23,376 --> 00:29:25,792
We've scoured the earth
for years and years,
365
00:29:25,793 --> 00:29:28,834
trying thousands,
ten thousand different combinations.
366
00:29:28,835 --> 00:29:33,293
Then, Westinghouse sees what I
did and enjoys doing the thief.
367
00:29:33,626 --> 00:29:37,125
Every industry has its vultures,
you just have to keep them away.
368
00:29:37,126 --> 00:29:39,042
So that's how it works.
369
00:29:39,043 --> 00:29:40,750
Cartographers entering
mistakes in their work
370
00:29:40,751 --> 00:29:42,917
to see if someone copies them.
371
00:29:42,918 --> 00:29:45,834
I do not have that luxury.
I can not invent ways to trick someone.
372
00:29:45,835 --> 00:29:47,395
Otherwise we would end all in the dark.
373
00:29:48,418 --> 00:29:51,376
Keep in mind all of its violations.
374
00:29:52,210 --> 00:29:54,501
Thank you, Mr. Edison. And thanks for this.
375
00:30:01,210 --> 00:30:03,418
I mentioned the fact that
his system is lethal?
376
00:30:04,251 --> 00:30:08,625
If you reach out and touch
a doorknob or a rail,
377
00:30:08,626 --> 00:30:09,668
become the circuit.
378
00:30:10,460 --> 00:30:12,710
In other words?
379
00:30:14,793 --> 00:30:16,126
Well, you die.
380
00:30:17,668 --> 00:30:21,917
With the current,
you can touch anything at any time
381
00:30:21,918 --> 00:30:24,250
bare hands. You secure. Works.
382
00:30:24,251 --> 00:30:26,371
It bears the name of Edison,
so it is more beautiful.
383
00:30:27,168 --> 00:30:31,167
Our government wants to
convince me to invent a weapon,
384
00:30:31,168 --> 00:30:34,334
but I will not use the brain to
invent something that hurts people.
385
00:30:34,335 --> 00:30:36,750
For these things, you can go to Pittsburgh.
386
00:30:36,751 --> 00:30:38,667
Is he saying that Westinghouse
wants to hurt people?
387
00:30:38,668 --> 00:30:41,417
No, I can not say.
388
00:30:41,418 --> 00:30:42,585
But you will.
389
00:30:54,210 --> 00:30:56,043
This is what I think of you.
390
00:30:57,751 --> 00:31:00,584
It gives a statement to the press today.
391
00:31:00,585 --> 00:31:01,667
Contradict his allegations.
392
00:31:01,668 --> 00:31:05,084
I do not intend to have anything to do.
We have the best system.
393
00:31:05,085 --> 00:31:06,251
This is what counts.
394
00:31:12,043 --> 00:31:17,960
The Westinghouse Electric Company
was founded at a quarter past nine.
395
00:31:18,460 --> 00:31:20,960
Hello. George Westinghouse.
We had an appointment?
396
00:31:21,168 --> 00:31:22,168
North Dakota.
397
00:31:22,918 --> 00:31:23,918
New Orleans.
398
00:31:24,293 --> 00:31:25,293
Fort Worth.
399
00:31:25,668 --> 00:31:26,668
Sioux City.
400
00:31:26,876 --> 00:31:28,918
You want the good news or the good news?
401
00:31:33,876 --> 00:31:37,500
We waste time to frame
him for what's in the bulb,
402
00:31:37,501 --> 00:31:40,042
what we should focus on is
what's on the other side.
403
00:31:40,043 --> 00:31:41,001
The screw coupler.
404
00:31:41,002 --> 00:31:42,710
- It's mine. - Exactly.
405
00:31:44,001 --> 00:31:45,376
He's suing.
406
00:31:46,210 --> 00:31:50,459
Is a huge cause.
It is Edison and Morgan.
407
00:31:50,460 --> 00:31:54,960
My advice is: know
an alternative way to beat gravity?
408
00:31:57,626 --> 00:32:00,917
Westinghouse has designed a
cap to bypass your screw attack.
409
00:32:00,918 --> 00:32:03,278
It's only a matter of
time before it runs everywhere.
410
00:32:04,043 --> 00:32:08,084
To be honest, I can not wait
to apply it in the sawmill.
411
00:32:08,085 --> 00:32:10,750
At the moment, we only offer the light.
412
00:32:10,751 --> 00:32:14,125
With time, we will devote
ourselves to mechanical tools.
413
00:32:14,126 --> 00:32:15,334
When?
414
00:32:15,335 --> 00:32:17,210
I do not care how much it costs the light.
415
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:21,875
I use the gas. I want to productivity.
I do not understand.
416
00:32:21,876 --> 00:32:25,168
Edison said that electricity can
already be used in factories.
417
00:32:26,585 --> 00:32:28,085
Its can.
418
00:32:31,793 --> 00:32:34,000
I want to see this needle move.
419
00:32:34,001 --> 00:32:36,375
I can not lower the voltage
without blowing up everything.
420
00:32:36,376 --> 00:32:38,584
Power. You'll even have made some progress.
421
00:32:38,585 --> 00:32:39,668
It is not ready.
422
00:33:02,835 --> 00:33:03,835
Turn it off!
423
00:33:12,001 --> 00:33:13,751
There must be a solution.
424
00:33:19,418 --> 00:33:22,084
La Nikola Tesla Electric Light Company.
425
00:33:22,085 --> 00:33:23,168
How does it look?
426
00:33:23,543 --> 00:33:26,250
- When you can produce arc lamps?
- Arc lamps?
427
00:33:26,251 --> 00:33:29,834
I thought there occupassimo of incandescent
lamps, motors and distribution.
428
00:33:29,835 --> 00:33:31,334
Let us think Edison.
429
00:33:31,335 --> 00:33:34,084
I'm working on advanced
methods to overcome it.
430
00:33:34,085 --> 00:33:36,209
To beat Edison? How soon?
431
00:33:36,210 --> 00:33:40,167
In a few years.
I need a lab, engineers and supplies.
432
00:33:40,168 --> 00:33:41,917
Of course, there are the costs.
433
00:33:41,918 --> 00:33:44,500
And where did you get the
money for the expensive silk?
434
00:33:44,501 --> 00:33:46,875
How I spend my earnings is my business.
435
00:33:46,876 --> 00:33:51,043
Mr. Tesla, if you need money right
away, you can sell your patent.
436
00:33:51,876 --> 00:33:53,542
And what would I get?
437
00:33:53,543 --> 00:33:57,667
Shares. And, if you have success,
you will sell for a fortune.
438
00:33:57,668 --> 00:33:59,375
For a fortune.
439
00:33:59,376 --> 00:34:01,167
Yes, I know what a figure of speech.
440
00:34:01,168 --> 00:34:03,417
We assume two-thirds of the risk.
441
00:34:03,418 --> 00:34:05,751
It is a good price for the
only thing you can sell.
442
00:34:09,251 --> 00:34:12,584
Cerebral congestion?
And what does it mean?
443
00:34:12,585 --> 00:34:18,168
There is an occlusion,
hidden, and is expanding.
444
00:34:18,626 --> 00:34:23,542
It will leave at first sight,
then it will be his vocabulary to diminish.
445
00:34:23,543 --> 00:34:25,001
I can not lose it.
446
00:34:27,668 --> 00:34:31,042
I'll do a movable alphabet.
I'll give you a dictionary.
447
00:34:31,043 --> 00:34:33,792
Gradually will lose mobility.
448
00:34:33,793 --> 00:34:35,960
The build an elevator.
449
00:34:36,293 --> 00:34:41,334
Mr. Edison,
what he needs your wife,
450
00:34:41,335 --> 00:34:43,460
can not be constructed by man.
451
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,584
What he needs my wife, do you think,
452
00:34:46,585 --> 00:34:48,710
It is a simple pair of glasses.
453
00:34:50,085 --> 00:34:52,293
The nature takes its course.
454
00:34:55,168 --> 00:34:56,501
I...
455
00:34:57,543 --> 00:35:02,585
I have to leave for New York tonight.
I can not cancel.
456
00:35:04,335 --> 00:35:07,710
I'll take care of
her while you're away. But...
457
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,335
do not you linger.
458
00:35:25,335 --> 00:35:27,000
Ohio has selected Westinghouse.
459
00:35:27,001 --> 00:35:29,125
- Columbus. Zanesville.
- Zanesville?
460
00:35:29,126 --> 00:35:31,335
- Lasciategliela. - It's not funny.
461
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,084
We do not know if it is a constant
462
00:35:35,085 --> 00:35:37,918
until it happens again,
and I really hope it does not happen.
463
00:35:38,626 --> 00:35:41,875
What is he doing that you're doing wrong?
464
00:35:41,876 --> 00:35:43,959
It is building successful machines
465
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:47,042
that will mean the death of human beings.
466
00:35:47,043 --> 00:35:49,084
- Where are these dead?
- Where are these dead?
467
00:35:49,085 --> 00:35:52,584
We change and you have to take
responsibility for all the killings.
468
00:35:52,585 --> 00:35:56,501
I think the people are not dying because
it is not as dangerous as you'd like.
469
00:35:58,376 --> 00:36:01,500
All right, beat us on costs.
But it's a temporary advantage.
470
00:36:01,501 --> 00:36:03,751
Give me time and I will
make our economy so that...
471
00:36:04,376 --> 00:36:05,834
only the rich will use candles.
472
00:36:05,835 --> 00:36:08,959
And until then, entire cities delivered
to Westinghouse. I'm not a bank.
473
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:10,585
It is precisely what you are.
474
00:36:11,001 --> 00:36:12,834
We could have had this
conversation by phone,
475
00:36:12,835 --> 00:36:14,417
instead of making me waste my time.
476
00:36:14,418 --> 00:36:17,459
When I want to see someone, come here.
Face to face. And the way it works.
477
00:36:17,460 --> 00:36:19,584
No, here's how it works.
478
00:36:19,585 --> 00:36:23,251
I build miracles and you continue
to give me those damn money I want.
479
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,335
What's up? I did run away to another city?
480
00:36:28,126 --> 00:36:29,793
Okay, what have I missed?
481
00:38:07,618 --> 00:38:10,118
(I love you)
482
00:38:27,543 --> 00:38:29,625
On your bureau.
483
00:38:29,626 --> 00:38:30,543
Talk.
484
00:38:30,544 --> 00:38:33,960
Will I be able to make
you promise to build me a fence?
485
00:38:35,460 --> 00:38:37,418
The ground is frozen.
He must thaw.
486
00:38:51,043 --> 00:38:52,792
On your bureau.
487
00:38:52,793 --> 00:38:53,959
Talk.
488
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,251
Will I be able to make
you promise to build me a fence?
489
00:39:05,335 --> 00:39:08,375
No, we take care of my
engine, as agreed...
490
00:39:08,376 --> 00:39:09,376
Look, do not...
491
00:39:09,543 --> 00:39:11,000
We do not want these things.
492
00:39:11,001 --> 00:39:12,750
The lamps that you have
built are no longer selling.
493
00:39:12,751 --> 00:39:15,000
We can not compete with
Edison and Westinghouse.
494
00:39:15,001 --> 00:39:18,084
So, take my patents and I
wish you a great misfortune.
495
00:39:18,085 --> 00:39:21,125
- "Your" patents? - Yes. My patents.
496
00:39:30,126 --> 00:39:31,835
Can I get you anything, sir?
497
00:39:33,001 --> 00:39:34,418
A time machine.
498
00:39:35,126 --> 00:39:38,460
If I find anything, I come back
to this moment and give it to him.
499
00:39:39,710 --> 00:39:41,667
Have you re-read the proposal?
500
00:39:41,668 --> 00:39:45,292
I will not use my last
resources to illuminate a fair.
501
00:39:45,293 --> 00:39:47,125
It is much more than a trade show, sir.
502
00:39:47,126 --> 00:39:49,084
A third of this country
will come to Chicago
503
00:39:49,085 --> 00:39:52,043
to try and see the City of Lights.
504
00:39:52,585 --> 00:39:57,001
Shop windows, streetlights, signs that
say that the race is over and we won.
505
00:39:57,793 --> 00:40:01,417
Why waste the last dollars to
travel to show the electricity,
506
00:40:01,418 --> 00:40:05,250
when you come all in one place to see it?
507
00:40:05,251 --> 00:40:07,000
Because in a year,
they will demolish everything.
508
00:40:07,001 --> 00:40:09,376
But only after you have seen
30 million people, it is.
509
00:40:16,626 --> 00:40:18,585
Westinghouse will present an offer.
510
00:40:33,251 --> 00:40:35,959
Nice hat. It seems expensive.
511
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,125
I had it from before I started
to work for you, Mr. Edison.
512
00:40:38,126 --> 00:40:39,834
I do not think you're working for me.
513
00:40:39,835 --> 00:40:43,626
- Continue to use my bulbs.
- His patents are in order.
514
00:40:44,126 --> 00:40:45,335
You want my advice?
515
00:40:45,835 --> 00:40:49,084
You say that the current Westinghouse
kill people. Therefore...
516
00:40:49,085 --> 00:40:52,043
in the absence of evidence,
lest they given you?
517
00:41:01,001 --> 00:41:04,542
We're doing this because we
will have a complete system,
518
00:41:04,543 --> 00:41:07,418
It will work and will
have the name of Edison.
519
00:41:07,751 --> 00:41:09,418
Poor bastard.
520
00:41:10,210 --> 00:41:12,418
Well, I myself will be shot down.
521
00:41:12,668 --> 00:41:14,542
You do not feel any pain, right?
522
00:41:14,543 --> 00:41:16,875
At 3,000 volts will be
over before it started.
523
00:41:16,876 --> 00:41:18,376
So there's nothing to worry about.
524
00:41:19,418 --> 00:41:22,585
But they are journalists,
so you might animate them a bit '.
525
00:41:27,001 --> 00:41:28,835
Welcome to Menlo Park.
526
00:41:29,793 --> 00:41:32,250
Thank you for coming on this cold morning.
527
00:41:32,251 --> 00:41:33,710
It's a pleasure to see you again.
528
00:41:34,793 --> 00:41:36,917
- My name Southwick Brown.
- It is a pleasure.
529
00:41:36,918 --> 00:41:39,667
You should further afield '.
530
00:41:39,668 --> 00:41:44,292
Gus is connected to the same
current that uses Westinghouse,
531
00:41:44,293 --> 00:41:47,959
but there is still no word
for death by electricity.
532
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:52,042
I asked the writer dictionaries
and suggested I "electro-tell"
533
00:41:52,043 --> 00:41:54,292
"elettro-cremare" and "dina-morte".
534
00:41:54,293 --> 00:41:58,168
But, as Joe Guillotin gave
his name to his invention,
535
00:41:58,543 --> 00:42:04,126
because remove the about the rightful
inventor of death by electricity?
536
00:42:04,543 --> 00:42:08,876
I ask you to show respect
while Westinghouse this horse.
537
00:42:38,210 --> 00:42:41,709
Mr. Edison, Southwick Brown.
Commission of Capital Punishment.
538
00:42:41,710 --> 00:42:44,834
You have surely heard about the
clumsy hangings in the North East.
539
00:42:44,835 --> 00:42:49,334
The prisoners suffocated
or die violently beheaded.
540
00:42:49,335 --> 00:42:51,167
This is an inhuman spectacle.
541
00:42:51,168 --> 00:42:55,251
But the death of the horse
was so serene, you could say...
542
00:42:57,251 --> 00:42:58,251
poetic.
543
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:05,459
The Governor of New York,
on my personal recommendation,
544
00:43:05,460 --> 00:43:07,625
He would like to consider a deadly device
545
00:43:07,626 --> 00:43:10,126
that uses electricity on a living being.
546
00:43:10,626 --> 00:43:14,543
It would be an honor for
us to entrust the task.
547
00:43:15,335 --> 00:43:17,834
- If there's nothing else,
it was a pleasure. - I apologize?
548
00:43:17,835 --> 00:43:22,375
Killing a human being under the
guise of justice, it is absurd.
549
00:43:22,376 --> 00:43:24,959
There is a big difference
between a horse and a person.
550
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:28,001
God gives us life in a compassionate way.
551
00:43:28,585 --> 00:43:30,875
Why refuse the opportunity
552
00:43:30,876 --> 00:43:35,085
of being the first man to
take it away in the same way?
553
00:44:34,626 --> 00:44:36,126
William.
554
00:44:38,293 --> 00:44:40,793
I killed my wife.
555
00:44:52,126 --> 00:44:54,251
Down with this handle.
556
00:44:55,001 --> 00:44:57,335
Maybe you need to do something else.
557
00:44:57,876 --> 00:45:00,459
If I'm doing it wrong,
you'll never know that I was toying
558
00:45:00,460 --> 00:45:04,835
with your phonograph or gramophone,
in any way I shall name.
559
00:45:05,501 --> 00:45:07,460
What is this thing?
560
00:45:08,293 --> 00:45:11,834
Here today at the Mary Tom tomorrow.
561
00:45:11,835 --> 00:45:16,335
Or, as you said,
today's Tom listens to Mary yesterday.
562
00:45:18,876 --> 00:45:21,418
I wonder what else you can do.
563
00:45:29,335 --> 00:45:32,417
Mr. Tesla, my son and his friends idiots
564
00:45:32,418 --> 00:45:35,218
they told me they do not intend to
carry out the arc lamps. It's true?
565
00:45:35,668 --> 00:45:38,292
Do not look at him, look at me.
They are the primary shareholder.
566
00:45:38,293 --> 00:45:40,875
No, I have already finished
the project of arc lamps.
567
00:45:40,876 --> 00:45:45,000
Finished? You covered one city.
Broadway, New Jersey.
568
00:45:45,001 --> 00:45:47,167
For God's sake, think big. Philadelphia.
569
00:45:47,168 --> 00:45:50,709
You made arc lamps for cities.
And your only job.
570
00:45:50,710 --> 00:45:51,710
At the.
571
00:45:51,711 --> 00:45:53,959
My AC motor. All right?
We had an agreement...
572
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:57,543
- No, I have never signed agreements.
- You said in this office...
573
00:45:58,168 --> 00:46:00,251
Lane, you can wait outside for a second?
574
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,460
Sorry. Do not you realize
you're about to be fired?
575
00:46:11,585 --> 00:46:13,000
At the.
576
00:46:13,001 --> 00:46:15,500
Please let me achieve what I have in mind.
577
00:46:15,501 --> 00:46:18,750
I will make the largest
electricity supplier in the world.
578
00:46:18,751 --> 00:46:20,542
More than Edison.
579
00:46:20,543 --> 00:46:22,918
They are very close, a few more months.
580
00:46:27,710 --> 00:46:30,500
You arrive here as if
you came from Neptune,
581
00:46:30,501 --> 00:46:33,917
as if you had a great
vision of the future...
582
00:46:33,918 --> 00:46:36,835
- I do not touch.
- Are you just an immigrant.
583
00:46:38,168 --> 00:46:40,584
A head full of ideas, looking for funding.
584
00:46:40,585 --> 00:46:43,250
You are Edison, Edison is one.
That's why he is successful.
585
00:46:43,251 --> 00:46:46,292
There are millions like you. Great ideas.
586
00:46:46,293 --> 00:46:48,709
But you do not see the real
forces that move things
587
00:46:48,710 --> 00:46:52,375
and is not the direct
or alternating current.
588
00:46:52,376 --> 00:46:53,710
It's the money.
589
00:46:54,293 --> 00:46:56,710
And it is the only
engine that interests me.
590
00:46:59,626 --> 00:47:03,667
These patents belong to the
Tesla Electric Light Company.
591
00:47:03,668 --> 00:47:07,125
This is now the Union Electric
and Manufacturing Company
592
00:47:07,126 --> 00:47:09,626
and I own all there is in this office.
593
00:47:09,793 --> 00:47:13,376
Patents, 'projects, engineers.
And all mine.
594
00:47:14,418 --> 00:47:17,460
There will be nothing
that will be named Tesla.
595
00:47:18,501 --> 00:47:23,043
Take your ideas and go
back where you came from.
596
00:47:35,126 --> 00:47:37,210
It is appropriating a city after another.
597
00:47:38,085 --> 00:47:41,709
Cats, dogs, sheep, 11 horses.
What else needs to see people?
598
00:47:41,710 --> 00:47:44,042
But no one is really dying
for alternating current.
599
00:47:44,043 --> 00:47:47,543
Excluding your cats,
dogs, sheep and 11 horses.
600
00:47:48,418 --> 00:47:51,168
- I know I just be your secretary.
- Speak and just.
601
00:47:52,126 --> 00:47:54,209
Bring the phonograph on the market.
You will get the gains.
602
00:47:54,210 --> 00:47:57,126
- has yet to be perfected. - Do it, sir.
603
00:47:57,918 --> 00:48:01,250
- Bell is robbing you. - The
graphophone? He just changed the name.
604
00:48:01,251 --> 00:48:03,042
Tell me where I can find
a shop to buy yours,
605
00:48:03,043 --> 00:48:05,876
and I did not hand over the entire market.
Do you have a real deal.
606
00:48:06,835 --> 00:48:09,250
Half a million dollars.
Lord, take the money.
607
00:48:09,251 --> 00:48:10,251
You need it.
608
00:48:11,793 --> 00:48:15,417
If Bell has robbed you with the
phone, will redo the graphophone.
609
00:48:15,418 --> 00:48:17,667
Have you confused about?
610
00:48:17,668 --> 00:48:19,585
Would you like Chicago?
611
00:48:24,043 --> 00:48:25,168
Okay, I'm ready.
612
00:48:46,626 --> 00:48:47,626
A dollar in marble?
613
00:48:48,876 --> 00:48:50,126
What do you for?
614
00:48:50,501 --> 00:48:51,918
The inventor.
615
00:48:52,460 --> 00:48:53,960
It solves problems for idiots.
616
00:48:55,126 --> 00:48:58,126
Imagine a dictation without
the help of a stenographer.
617
00:49:00,085 --> 00:49:02,875
Phonographic books that
speak to blind people.
618
00:49:02,876 --> 00:49:05,418
Playing music, talking toys.
619
00:49:06,376 --> 00:49:08,709
Watches that communicate the hour.
620
00:49:08,710 --> 00:49:11,500
Preservation of nearly
disappeared languages.
621
00:49:11,501 --> 00:49:13,167
The teaching of speech.
622
00:49:13,168 --> 00:49:15,835
- Have you cheated. - Yes No.
623
00:49:16,543 --> 00:49:18,459
I did not come all this way to lose.
624
00:49:18,460 --> 00:49:22,042
Being able to catch the last
words of your loved ones.
625
00:49:22,043 --> 00:49:29,000
Edison phonograph, the machine
that speaks, sings and enchants.
626
00:49:29,001 --> 00:49:32,460
A perfect machine, silent.
627
00:49:37,543 --> 00:49:41,751
Or you can not or are not the
engineer who thought I was.
628
00:49:43,793 --> 00:49:47,792
Travel the country to roast cats.
629
00:49:47,793 --> 00:49:49,835
George, is playing dirty. You can too.
630
00:49:53,460 --> 00:49:59,168
When I was young,
my father tried to whip me with a branch.
631
00:50:00,251 --> 00:50:02,335
But after the first lash, he broke.
632
00:50:02,793 --> 00:50:04,626
In three small pieces.
633
00:50:05,751 --> 00:50:09,251
He he remained there,
watching that broken branch on the ground.
634
00:50:10,251 --> 00:50:14,292
Then, I noticed that there was a
leather strap hanging on the wall.
635
00:50:14,293 --> 00:50:18,042
So, I pointed and said, "Look,
636
00:50:18,043 --> 00:50:19,960
that would be better."
637
00:50:21,335 --> 00:50:22,668
He stopped.
638
00:50:27,210 --> 00:50:31,793
I know the punches,
but I have no patience peri shoddy work.
639
00:50:34,376 --> 00:50:38,334
You'll get an engine running
next to your location in Chicago,
640
00:50:38,335 --> 00:50:41,543
in spite of hell,
the flood or the Wizard of Menlo Park.
641
00:50:47,876 --> 00:50:48,876
Good night.
642
00:50:49,293 --> 00:50:50,293
Good night.
643
00:52:19,668 --> 00:52:21,835
We will remember Pope Franklin
644
00:52:22,751 --> 00:52:25,668
for his courageous commitment
to push us into the future.
645
00:52:26,376 --> 00:52:30,835
It was not only an outstanding example
of faith in the progress of science...
646
00:52:35,251 --> 00:52:36,376
099 'I try...
647
00:52:38,793 --> 00:52:43,460
pain and anger, because what has
happened, could have been avoided.
648
00:52:45,585 --> 00:52:49,001
Listen, I like you've never heard before.
649
00:52:49,501 --> 00:52:50,876
I can state with certainty
650
00:52:52,668 --> 00:52:54,751
that if Westinghouse
continue its activities...
651
00:52:56,376 --> 00:52:59,001
other people will die.
652
00:53:18,418 --> 00:53:20,168
My condolences.
653
00:53:22,460 --> 00:53:24,876
I know it was more than just an employee.
654
00:53:30,126 --> 00:53:31,918
What was his name, Franklin Popes?
655
00:53:33,210 --> 00:53:35,960
Pope. Without the
656
00:53:36,626 --> 00:53:37,793
What a pity.
657
00:53:39,126 --> 00:53:40,376
But I'm here to help.
658
00:53:41,043 --> 00:53:42,460
I know that...
659
00:53:43,126 --> 00:53:45,126
I would like Edison did silence.
660
00:53:47,835 --> 00:53:51,376
Let me join your company.
Let me fix this mess.
661
00:53:55,418 --> 00:53:59,292
Do you believe that the Westinghouse
Electric worth $ 5 million?
662
00:53:59,293 --> 00:54:02,667
The value is determined by the
highest amount you are willing to pay.
663
00:54:02,668 --> 00:54:06,417
But eight hundred men I will lose salary.
664
00:54:06,418 --> 00:54:08,085
He will keep his employees.
665
00:54:08,585 --> 00:54:11,793
But the five-day working week.
666
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:16,793
It seems to be inclined.
667
00:54:27,835 --> 00:54:29,918
What power will you use?
668
00:54:30,793 --> 00:54:33,168
What will choose Edison guess.
669
00:54:43,043 --> 00:54:44,376
What nonsense.
670
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:46,918
Do you believe me to be absurd.
671
00:54:48,085 --> 00:54:49,710
Yes, indeed.
672
00:54:50,126 --> 00:54:51,835
We are overloaded, Marguerite.
673
00:54:53,460 --> 00:54:55,293
There's no shame in selling.
674
00:54:59,168 --> 00:55:02,335
I always tried to become
Edison's associate,
675
00:55:03,251 --> 00:55:04,918
and now I have the opportunity to do so.
676
00:55:06,710 --> 00:55:11,000
We have an engine, we train on a mountain.
It's impossible.
677
00:55:11,001 --> 00:55:13,841
I thought that the word "impossible"
does not exist in your vocabulary.
678
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:21,960
Melt Westinghouse Electric.
679
00:55:22,460 --> 00:55:26,500
The revenues will be used to
save the other bankrupt companies
680
00:55:26,501 --> 00:55:30,542
and it will be the time to
repair the errors of Edison.
681
00:55:30,543 --> 00:55:34,584
You are not a captain changing
course, depending on the sea.
682
00:55:34,585 --> 00:55:36,460
We have a broken!
683
00:55:36,835 --> 00:55:38,626
We are drowning.
684
00:55:38,835 --> 00:55:41,959
All this is costing us a fortune.
685
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:44,460
- It does not care about the money!
- A fortune!
686
00:55:45,835 --> 00:55:48,960
I was living in your parents' house,
while you bussavi at every door.
687
00:55:49,793 --> 00:55:52,792
Do you want people to think that
you're on the side of what you hate?
688
00:55:52,793 --> 00:55:55,000
And you use your last name as a verb?
689
00:55:55,001 --> 00:55:58,210
And how you think you can fix
that, my dear?
690
00:55:59,710 --> 00:56:00,876
I've got you.
691
00:56:01,376 --> 00:56:03,126
And avevo Fran k.
692
00:56:04,376 --> 00:56:05,460
That's all.
693
00:56:06,668 --> 00:56:08,293
I loved that man.
694
00:56:10,126 --> 00:56:15,085
It's just a sensible business decision.
695
00:56:15,793 --> 00:56:17,000
George.
696
00:56:17,001 --> 00:56:18,376
That's all.
697
00:56:22,210 --> 00:56:24,001
That's all.
698
00:56:30,460 --> 00:56:33,418
Say what you will of George
Westinghouse, is a good man.
699
00:56:40,335 --> 00:56:42,418
Demise
700
00:57:09,460 --> 00:57:12,668
You have entered the federal territory.
701
00:57:14,668 --> 00:57:16,043
The point is that...
702
00:57:16,585 --> 00:57:17,710
You are mistaken.
703
00:57:18,251 --> 00:57:19,335
According to my map...
704
00:57:31,668 --> 00:57:36,376
I mourn the passing of my colleague,
but bad luck will not win.
705
00:57:38,543 --> 00:57:43,084
I noticed that Mr. Edison
puts his name on everything
706
00:57:43,085 --> 00:57:46,043
because it is scared to come forgotten.
707
00:57:47,043 --> 00:57:50,626
If you want to be remembered,
it is simple, shoot the President.
708
00:57:50,918 --> 00:57:53,751
But if you prefer to leave,
as I call it, a legacy,
709
00:57:54,251 --> 00:57:57,585
leave the world a better
place than you found.
710
00:57:58,210 --> 00:58:05,459
Thomas Alva Edison is a charlatan who
exploits the fears of ordinary people,
711
00:58:05,460 --> 00:58:07,876
because I possess the best system.
712
00:58:09,043 --> 00:58:14,334
And since I own the best system,
the Westinghouse Electric resist.
713
00:58:14,335 --> 00:58:15,335
Good day.
714
00:58:16,418 --> 00:58:20,167
Westinghouse took the lead.
He will not go.
715
00:58:20,168 --> 00:58:23,918
I appreciate your lights,
Mr. Edison, but I'm also a client.
716
00:58:24,293 --> 00:58:27,167
And if someone knocks on my
door with something that I need,
717
00:58:27,168 --> 00:58:30,334
and that is better than what I have
at the moment, at a lower price,
718
00:58:30,335 --> 00:58:33,584
I'd be a fool not to invite him for tea.
719
00:58:33,585 --> 00:58:36,251
- It's an ultimatum?
- More threatening.
720
00:58:36,543 --> 00:58:38,667
If you feel that fear is the best strategy,
721
00:58:38,668 --> 00:58:40,876
then you'd better hurry and try harder.
722
00:58:42,460 --> 00:58:43,918
Time is up.
723
00:58:47,001 --> 00:58:50,834
He built a box with a crank
724
00:58:50,835 --> 00:58:53,917
and a lever to preserve his wife's voice.
725
00:58:53,918 --> 00:58:57,418
What wrong choice,
because she can haunt him forever.
726
00:59:01,418 --> 00:59:03,960
I could not stop it even if I wanted.
727
00:59:05,251 --> 00:59:11,043
And I will not,
because I think it is a fantastic idea.
728
00:59:12,126 --> 00:59:16,043
It will be the power to
kill the man in Buffalo.
729
00:59:16,626 --> 00:59:18,335
We do not know the voltage.
730
00:59:18,918 --> 00:59:22,001
Too much and take fire.
Too little and it would still be alive.
731
00:59:23,501 --> 00:59:25,750
We only need your advice, Mr. Edison.
732
00:59:25,751 --> 00:59:30,959
What is human? Where to put
the electrodes and, in return,
733
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:34,418
I promise something you know you want.
734
00:59:36,001 --> 00:59:40,375
I'll put the name of
Westinghouse in plain sight
735
00:59:40,376 --> 00:59:44,793
as the official electricity
used to kill humans.
736
00:59:46,793 --> 00:59:51,335
We might even expose the chair
at the Chicago World Fair.
737
00:59:52,418 --> 00:59:53,918
The future!
738
01:00:02,085 --> 01:00:04,250
My name will never be associated.
739
01:00:04,251 --> 01:00:06,334
I have not provided any consultation,
740
01:00:06,335 --> 01:00:10,210
Westinghouse will have suggested
as the best way for the killings.
741
01:00:11,210 --> 01:00:12,960
Guaranteed your assistance?
742
01:00:14,835 --> 01:00:17,293
If you do me any questions, I will answer.
743
01:00:20,751 --> 01:00:22,585
Bruciate correspondence.
744
01:00:23,835 --> 01:00:25,585
Absolutely.
745
01:00:28,793 --> 01:00:31,835
These are our seats and
our blue wing chair.
746
01:00:32,251 --> 01:00:34,585
I've sold three just last week series.
747
01:00:37,501 --> 01:00:39,668
This is the classic wooden chair.
748
01:00:41,085 --> 01:00:44,668
And these are chairs in oriental style.
They are very popular.
749
01:00:51,376 --> 01:00:52,876
An austere style.
750
01:00:55,585 --> 01:00:58,293
You want four, six, eight, twelve?
751
01:00:58,585 --> 01:01:00,460
Only one.
752
01:01:02,043 --> 01:01:05,500
Mr Brown,
the plant consists of a stationary engine,
753
01:01:05,501 --> 01:01:09,209
a Westinghouse alternating current
dynamo capable of generating 3,000 volts.
754
01:01:09,210 --> 01:01:11,292
A wooden chair with headrest,
755
01:01:11,293 --> 01:01:12,853
of the belts and adjustable electrodes.
756
01:01:13,085 --> 01:01:15,376
Burn. TAE
757
01:01:23,501 --> 01:01:26,167
The voltmeter, I'amperometro,
and the control framework
758
01:01:26,168 --> 01:01:29,375
They must be located in the
execution chamber for monitoring.
759
01:01:29,376 --> 01:01:30,834
Burn. TAE
760
01:01:30,835 --> 01:01:33,084
The Dynamos hall is
connected via electrical signals.
761
01:01:33,085 --> 01:01:34,375
Burn. TAE
762
01:01:34,376 --> 01:01:38,167
The most efficient machines
are manufactured by Westinghouse.
763
01:01:38,168 --> 01:01:41,543
Authorize the payment
of $ 3,600 for your work.
764
01:01:42,085 --> 01:01:43,792
Burn. TAE
765
01:01:43,793 --> 01:01:47,292
The only question that
might discourage Westinghouse
766
01:01:47,293 --> 01:01:48,834
in relation to capital punishment
767
01:01:48,835 --> 01:01:51,417
It refers to the fact that the meat
might burn to the contact points
768
01:01:51,418 --> 01:01:52,834
and the amount of current to be applied
769
01:01:52,835 --> 01:01:55,418
without such an occurrence,
it is not yet known.
770
01:01:55,918 --> 01:01:59,001
Burn. TAE
771
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:10,917
For someone trying to
compete at the World Fair,
772
01:02:10,918 --> 01:02:12,709
this deadly car is not a good presentation.
773
01:02:12,710 --> 01:02:17,167
Yes I know. Edison's just
trying to infangarmi, as usual.
774
01:02:17,168 --> 01:02:18,959
- Can you prove it? - No.
775
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:21,376
But maybe I could stop him.
776
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:22,960
Are you talking to me?
777
01:02:24,751 --> 01:02:27,793
If you want my advice, do not assumetemi.
Save money.
778
01:02:28,751 --> 01:02:32,084
But I know a man who can say
779
01:02:32,085 --> 01:02:35,418
Edison has a bond with the chair of death.
780
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:38,835
No, I mean stop it through legal channels.
781
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:42,667
- You want Edison ports in court? - No.
782
01:02:42,668 --> 01:02:45,084
The chair itself. The eighth amendment.
783
01:02:45,085 --> 01:02:50,292
So, I should provide a murderess
who admitted killing his wife
784
01:02:50,293 --> 01:02:52,250
maintaining a ...?
785
01:02:52,251 --> 01:02:56,793
It is to show what kind
of man is Thomas Edison.
786
01:02:58,835 --> 01:03:01,042
Just keep my name out.
787
01:03:01,043 --> 01:03:02,668
Your wife knows you are paying for this?
788
01:03:03,126 --> 01:03:04,335
It was his idea.
789
01:03:07,876 --> 01:03:12,084
What makes electricity
not cruel and inhuman?
790
01:03:12,085 --> 01:03:13,834
The speed of the current is so high,
791
01:03:13,835 --> 01:03:17,125
that the brain is paralyzed instantly.
792
01:03:17,126 --> 01:03:21,584
The subject dies before the
nerves can communicate I shock.
793
01:03:21,585 --> 01:03:24,668
- As I know it is not proven?
- I tested it...
794
01:03:25,501 --> 01:03:27,875
on a gorilla in the London Zoo.
795
01:03:27,876 --> 01:03:31,500
It has links with some electricity company?
796
01:03:31,501 --> 01:03:32,585
No, sir.
797
01:03:33,168 --> 01:03:36,710
The State calls Thomas Alva Edison.
798
01:03:37,085 --> 01:03:42,250
Could you explain the
difference between your current
799
01:03:42,251 --> 01:03:45,917
and Mr. Westinghouse
alternating electricity?
800
01:03:45,918 --> 01:03:49,834
The continuous current flows,
such as water, through a conduit,
801
01:03:49,835 --> 01:03:52,125
and the alternating current
flowing in both directions.
802
01:03:52,126 --> 01:03:54,042
Water. It does not seem so dangerous.
803
01:03:54,043 --> 01:03:55,918
Not until they drowned.
804
01:03:56,418 --> 01:03:58,875
Why not use the power Mr. Westinghouse?
805
01:03:58,876 --> 01:04:01,292
- I do not like.
- Do you believe it is dangerous.
806
01:04:01,293 --> 01:04:02,418
Yes, it is.
807
01:04:02,668 --> 01:04:07,460
Imagine that you were using
the current Mr. Westinghouse,
808
01:04:08,418 --> 01:04:11,126
one that will be used on Mr. Kemmler,
809
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:15,210
and imagine using it
for five or six minutes.
810
01:04:16,085 --> 01:04:18,459
It was in 1500,
811
01:04:18,460 --> 01:04:21,167
what would it take
before you feel the heat?
812
01:04:21,168 --> 01:04:26,500
Well, the temperature may rise to
four or five degrees above normal
813
01:04:26,501 --> 01:04:29,376
and continue until it would not mummified.
814
01:04:29,876 --> 01:04:31,668
And this would not cause great suffering?
815
01:04:32,168 --> 01:04:34,167
- No. - How do I know?
816
01:04:34,168 --> 01:04:37,042
Because I have personally
seen this electricity be used
817
01:04:37,043 --> 01:04:38,875
to kill a horse of 400 kilos.
818
01:04:38,876 --> 01:04:41,036
- And the horse he felt pain?
- If so, he did not say.
819
01:04:43,876 --> 01:04:48,750
Mr. Edison, there is great admiration
between you and Mr. Westinghouse.
820
01:04:48,751 --> 01:04:51,584
Do not disregard Mr. Westinghouse.
821
01:04:51,585 --> 01:04:53,667
You two are competing, right?
822
01:04:53,668 --> 01:04:55,626
It's not about that.
823
01:04:56,835 --> 01:04:59,125
I was asked, as an objective scientist,
824
01:04:59,126 --> 01:05:02,042
my opinion on whether death for electricity
825
01:05:02,043 --> 01:05:05,167
It is a violation of the eighth amendment
and whether it is cruel and inadequate.
826
01:05:05,168 --> 01:05:08,584
In my view,
the only humane method of execution
827
01:05:08,585 --> 01:05:10,500
is the alternating current Westinghouse.
828
01:05:10,501 --> 01:05:13,000
Mr. Edison knows that
any more than 30 amps...
829
01:05:13,001 --> 01:05:16,626
Milliampere. If you have to interrupt
me, do it with the correct name.
830
01:05:19,126 --> 01:05:21,710
- Thank you, Your Honor.
- The honor is mine.
831
01:05:22,210 --> 01:05:24,668
Okay, I have everything I need.
832
01:05:35,501 --> 01:05:37,585
What do you want, furfantelli?
833
01:05:37,793 --> 01:05:39,084
- Mr. Edison. - What's up?
834
01:05:39,085 --> 01:05:40,085
Mr. Edison.
835
01:05:44,335 --> 01:05:45,251
Look'.
836
01:05:45,252 --> 01:05:47,375
I left before I had the opportunity.
837
01:05:47,376 --> 01:05:48,856
Mr. Edison, can I get your autograph?
838
01:05:49,668 --> 01:05:50,835
Yes sure.
839
01:05:51,251 --> 01:05:53,376
William, will you?
840
01:06:03,835 --> 01:06:07,334
I must warn you,
there's only one thing that beats justice.
841
01:06:07,335 --> 01:06:08,335
Money?
842
01:06:08,501 --> 01:06:09,751
Fame.
843
01:06:30,668 --> 01:06:33,376
Army revolver is a New Model?
844
01:06:34,001 --> 01:06:36,001
What a fantastic car.
845
01:06:37,043 --> 01:06:39,375
- You know how it works?
- You want me to shoot you?
846
01:06:39,376 --> 01:06:43,084
I did not mean how to
shoot, but how it works.
847
01:06:43,085 --> 01:06:46,334
It is a good airplane should look at it.
848
01:06:46,335 --> 01:06:48,542
They designed the cylinder,
849
01:06:48,543 --> 01:06:52,334
so that the dog is not
standing on a chamber empty.
850
01:06:52,335 --> 01:06:55,292
Or I could shoot you six
times instead of five.
851
01:06:55,293 --> 01:06:56,293
I guess so.
852
01:06:59,418 --> 01:07:01,835
They both lied in court.
853
01:07:02,335 --> 01:07:04,584
But if you want to shoot,
854
01:07:04,585 --> 01:07:06,125
this is the last opportunity to do so.
855
01:07:06,126 --> 01:07:09,793
Sometimes, you have to act outside
of the rules to do the right thing.
856
01:07:11,168 --> 01:07:13,460
It would be nice if we did not do it.
857
01:07:14,876 --> 01:07:16,501
Really?
858
01:07:17,293 --> 01:07:19,460
This does not make you like him.
859
01:07:22,918 --> 01:07:24,710
What do we do?
860
01:08:22,418 --> 01:08:25,292
I have a bad ear, but it was extraordinary.
861
01:08:25,293 --> 01:08:26,293
Priest...
862
01:08:30,001 --> 01:08:30,960
Ready?
863
01:08:30,961 --> 01:08:33,875
The plant
consists of a stationary engine,
864
01:08:33,876 --> 01:08:39,292
a Westinghouse alternating current
dynamo capable of generating 3,000 volts.
865
01:08:39,293 --> 01:08:41,209
A wooden chair with headrest.
866
01:08:41,210 --> 01:08:44,417
- Where you have taken?
- I will send to the newspapers.
867
01:08:44,418 --> 01:08:47,334
Those letters were stolen.
You can not make them public.
868
01:08:47,335 --> 01:08:49,584
- Why not?
- Because it's private correspondence.
869
01:08:49,585 --> 01:08:53,625
Mr. Edison, say something
against me or against my company,
870
01:08:53,626 --> 01:08:56,085
and I'll ask you to tell the truth.
871
01:08:57,251 --> 01:09:00,043
It would be the right thing to do.
872
01:09:01,543 --> 01:09:02,585
Or do I?
873
01:09:04,335 --> 01:09:08,501
- Why do not you burned?
- They come from Thomas Edison.
874
01:09:09,085 --> 01:09:11,000
I do not understand that this chair
875
01:09:11,001 --> 01:09:14,209
It is something to be proud of
and for which to be remembered.
876
01:09:14,210 --> 01:09:16,417
I do not know how much
electricity is necessary.
877
01:09:16,418 --> 01:09:20,084
- You said 1,500 volts.
- I said: "I think 1,500 volts."
878
01:09:20,085 --> 01:09:22,792
But if all the water evaporates
in the body, it could catch fire.
879
01:09:22,793 --> 01:09:25,709
- We lower the amount.
- So, I arrostirete to death.
880
01:09:25,710 --> 01:09:29,542
You have to listen to me.
What you are doing is wrong.
881
01:09:29,543 --> 01:09:32,209
You said that it is inevitable
that someone will eventually do so.
882
01:09:32,210 --> 01:09:35,293
But the fact that someone else I do,
does not mean you have to be you.
883
01:09:36,168 --> 01:09:40,626
The State thanks you for
your comments and his help.
884
01:10:00,251 --> 01:10:01,251
What's up?
885
01:10:04,293 --> 01:10:06,085
- What should I tell you? - Say that.
886
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:09,751
You said that a car would
not built to kill people.
887
01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:23,084
I realize impossible things and rob me.
So I am referring again.
888
01:10:23,085 --> 01:10:27,001
And I refer, again and again.
889
01:10:29,251 --> 01:10:31,335
This is not like the rest.
890
01:10:32,626 --> 01:10:34,376
This is everything else.
891
01:10:35,668 --> 01:10:38,875
The way of the future
will not be made of brick,
892
01:10:38,876 --> 01:10:40,126
but copper.
893
01:10:41,585 --> 01:10:45,625
Automation, transportation, communication,
and the man who controls the current one,
894
01:10:45,626 --> 01:10:47,710
controls the future.
895
01:10:48,876 --> 01:10:50,960
But you know that Westinghouse is right.
896
01:10:52,335 --> 01:10:54,542
Lord, do not really
believe that some accident
897
01:10:54,543 --> 01:10:57,750
can exclude the applicability of its
current. You do not want to miss.
898
01:10:57,751 --> 01:11:01,167
I have only amplified what
no one else took seriously.
899
01:11:01,168 --> 01:11:03,375
No, you are passed over
with a 12-ton train.
900
01:11:03,376 --> 01:11:07,126
It is he who should realize the
brakes, whose fault is it?
901
01:11:10,168 --> 01:11:15,000
- Change tonight and so will win.
- His current kills people.
902
01:11:15,001 --> 01:11:16,292
Just because you said!
903
01:11:16,293 --> 01:11:19,042
Can I stop complaining
vultures in my garden
904
01:11:19,043 --> 01:11:22,709
or build a wall so high that
no one will dare to climb over.
905
01:11:22,710 --> 01:11:24,542
You're the smartest man I know.
906
01:11:24,543 --> 01:11:29,626
Apart from miracles created from nothing,
I was impressed by your principles.
907
01:11:32,085 --> 01:11:35,585
You have not invented the incandescent
lamp, but the people I believe.
908
01:11:43,126 --> 01:11:47,792
Welcome to the reality
of how things are made.
909
01:11:47,793 --> 01:11:50,626
We give all our contribution.
This is how the inventions.
910
01:11:51,001 --> 01:11:53,042
Salt. The wheat.
911
01:11:53,043 --> 01:11:54,792
The heat. The heart.
912
01:11:54,793 --> 01:11:59,043
But one man creates the bread.
913
01:12:00,293 --> 01:12:01,960
And it is one that combines all this
914
01:12:02,918 --> 01:12:05,584
and I makes it so good as
to make him turn people
915
01:12:05,585 --> 01:12:10,417
and pay expensive to buy it.
916
01:12:10,418 --> 01:12:13,668
Mr. Edison, I want your success. Really.
917
01:12:15,626 --> 01:12:17,042
But it has to change tonight,
918
01:12:17,043 --> 01:12:20,501
or die as PT Barnum rather
than as Isaac Newton.
919
01:12:45,501 --> 01:12:48,000
Although there may be unknown,
920
01:12:48,001 --> 01:12:51,959
her studies demonstrate an
understanding of electrical issues
921
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:55,751
unprecedented known to me,
with all due respect to the present.
922
01:12:56,251 --> 01:13:00,418
Gentlemen and lady, Nikola Tesla.
923
01:13:03,168 --> 01:13:05,335
Step to the fundamental question,
924
01:13:06,126 --> 01:13:08,334
Yes or no,
925
01:13:08,335 --> 01:13:11,751
the alternating current
may actuate an engine?
926
01:13:12,751 --> 01:13:13,751
Yup.
927
01:13:15,835 --> 01:13:18,000
It is possible to
construct an alternate system
928
01:13:18,001 --> 01:13:21,167
Edison doing what it can
do to a third of the cost.
929
01:13:21,168 --> 01:13:23,000
In the second drawing of my system,
930
01:13:23,001 --> 01:13:25,750
the rotors are located in
a more forward position...
931
01:13:25,751 --> 01:13:28,459
The second drawing shows the
magnetic condition corresponding...
932
01:13:28,460 --> 01:13:30,710
One can get a synchronous motor...
933
01:13:31,501 --> 01:13:35,917
The induction is always maintained
at the maximum activity.
934
01:13:35,918 --> 01:13:39,375
Mr. Tesla, you built the
engine to test his theories?
935
01:13:39,376 --> 01:13:41,292
But they are not theories.
936
01:13:41,293 --> 01:13:42,542
No, I have not built.
937
01:13:42,543 --> 01:13:44,417
But this would prove his beliefs.
938
01:13:44,418 --> 01:13:47,250
But they are not beliefs,
and it is completely unnecessary for me
939
01:13:47,251 --> 01:13:49,375
operate the engine in
my mind or in a store,
940
01:13:49,376 --> 01:13:51,209
because I've built in my imagination.
941
01:13:51,210 --> 01:13:53,542
- And it's perfect. - Are you serious?
942
01:13:53,543 --> 01:13:54,543
Almost always.
943
01:14:04,168 --> 01:14:06,335
Hail, sleep George Westinghouse.
944
01:14:16,626 --> 01:14:18,542
George Westinghouse.
945
01:14:18,543 --> 01:14:21,167
An engine that compresses
the air in a reservoir
946
01:14:21,168 --> 01:14:23,876
that is brought through a
duct to both the train brakes,
947
01:14:24,376 --> 01:14:26,960
allowing them to operate simultaneously.
948
01:14:28,376 --> 01:14:31,335
- An intelligent design. - Thanks.
949
01:14:39,543 --> 01:14:40,543
Nail.
950
01:14:56,751 --> 01:14:59,418
I think the room is tilted by two degrees.
951
01:15:03,376 --> 01:15:07,959
I appreciate that you have
found the time to meet.
952
01:15:07,960 --> 01:15:10,210
Going somewhere?
953
01:15:24,418 --> 01:15:27,168
- What's this?
- They are the Niagara Falls.
954
01:15:27,751 --> 01:15:29,459
Since the university,
955
01:15:29,460 --> 01:15:33,376
I imagined a great wheel
that provided light.
956
01:15:35,085 --> 01:15:38,667
Did you know that just came
here I worked for Mr. Edison?
957
01:15:38,668 --> 01:15:40,334
- No. - Has?
958
01:15:40,335 --> 01:15:41,335
Right.
959
01:15:42,710 --> 01:15:45,750
I have adjusted two of its
dc generators in one night
960
01:15:45,751 --> 01:15:47,876
and he called me "a damn good man."
961
01:15:48,835 --> 01:15:50,751
So why I not treated as I deserved?
962
01:15:51,335 --> 01:15:54,334
I left. I tried to start my
business, but I was deceived.
963
01:15:54,335 --> 01:15:56,960
Who was I? An immigrant any.
964
01:15:57,626 --> 01:16:00,626
So, I took the only job I could find.
I dug a ditch.
965
01:16:01,501 --> 01:16:05,251
The others laughed at my clothes,
but at the end of the day I had $ 2.
966
01:16:08,043 --> 01:16:10,626
To whom belonged that ditch?
967
01:16:11,543 --> 01:16:13,876
Alla Edison Electric.
968
01:16:14,835 --> 01:16:16,585
It was like digging its own grave.
969
01:16:18,418 --> 01:16:21,000
If Edison were to do it,
so we will leave behind,
970
01:16:21,001 --> 01:16:22,375
We will not be able to take it back more.
971
01:16:22,376 --> 01:16:26,418
The Fair must alternate.
There has to be my engine.
972
01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:31,085
I saw how people consider a Chicago
landmark, the City of Light.
973
01:16:31,918 --> 01:16:35,334
All cities sooner or
later will have the light,
974
01:16:35,335 --> 01:16:38,167
but also exploit the energy of Niagara,
975
01:16:38,168 --> 01:16:39,959
It is to see the future.
976
01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:40,960
The waterfalls?
977
01:16:41,501 --> 01:16:45,250
- I'm here to talk about Chicago.
- Think over Chicago.
978
01:16:45,251 --> 01:16:48,834
Energy is as essential as
food, water and air.
979
01:16:48,835 --> 01:16:53,043
We can not say that only those
who have money can eat or breathe.
980
01:16:53,876 --> 01:16:55,625
Yes, the Falls illuminate the East Coast.
981
01:16:55,626 --> 01:16:58,584
You can get very lucky and
I long for a walking stick
982
01:16:58,585 --> 01:17:00,250
I saw on the 63th and Madison.
983
01:17:00,251 --> 01:17:03,250
But Niagara is proof that, one day,
we can separate the energy from the profit.
984
01:17:03,251 --> 01:17:05,251
That's how you really wins.
985
01:17:06,418 --> 01:17:09,001
- As I know you will not deceive me?
- Well...
986
01:17:10,043 --> 01:17:11,376
I do not know.
987
01:17:13,543 --> 01:17:16,250
But the point is, Mr. Tesla,
I need your engine.
988
01:17:16,251 --> 01:17:19,710
I may illuminate the Fair,
but I can not drive a car.
989
01:17:20,168 --> 01:17:21,875
If we come to an agreement today,
990
01:17:21,876 --> 01:17:25,251
my business will die right
here, in your hotel room.
991
01:17:27,501 --> 01:17:31,876
But so it will die also your dream
to harness the energy of Niagara.
992
01:17:35,793 --> 01:17:38,335
Therefore, we have a deal?
993
01:17:39,626 --> 01:17:41,085
Five thousand.
994
01:17:48,543 --> 01:17:50,376
Mille.
995
01:18:05,751 --> 01:18:08,543
I give you two dollars and 50 cents...
996
01:18:12,376 --> 01:18:13,835
for the horse.
997
01:18:15,251 --> 01:18:19,793
I'm not a genius, but should be millions.
998
01:18:22,001 --> 01:18:24,460
May I invite you to dinner at Delmonico?
999
01:18:26,001 --> 01:18:27,917
All right, Mr. Tesla, it's time to go.
1000
01:18:27,918 --> 01:18:29,625
No, I will not leave your room tilted.
1001
01:18:29,626 --> 01:18:31,292
It does not pay for more than a month.
1002
01:18:31,293 --> 01:18:34,585
How much should I pay to
keep him here all year?
1003
01:18:39,543 --> 01:18:43,085
I have to lay off 300 people by the gas.
1004
01:18:45,876 --> 01:18:48,001
There is no other way.
1005
01:18:48,793 --> 01:18:51,626
We pay their salaries and
we move them to electricity.
1006
01:18:52,126 --> 01:18:53,793
We can not keep doing this.
1007
01:18:54,626 --> 01:18:57,626
If we win in Chicago, we will not need it.
1008
01:18:58,918 --> 01:19:01,335
You have the truth on your side.
1009
01:19:02,918 --> 01:19:07,043
And whatever happens,
you'll know you've played correctly.
1010
01:19:19,168 --> 01:19:23,793
I stole the letters that connect
to the chair Edison death.
1011
01:19:24,585 --> 01:19:27,043
I delivered newspapers to nail.
1012
01:19:29,418 --> 01:19:31,293
I know I've disappointed you.
1013
01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:03,792
What is this?
1014
01:20:03,793 --> 01:20:05,334
A 25-meter high tower
1015
01:20:05,335 --> 01:20:09,084
Edison bulbs covered by 16,000 and on
top of a three-meter high lighthouse.
1016
01:20:09,085 --> 01:20:11,417
It is to show the world
that we are the winners.
1017
01:20:11,418 --> 01:20:13,917
Otherwise,
how would people know that we won?
1018
01:20:13,918 --> 01:20:14,918
It is an idol.
1019
01:20:16,376 --> 01:20:18,418
Is a signature.
1020
01:20:19,460 --> 01:20:22,792
And you will receive something that no
one ever had before by Thomas Edison.
1021
01:20:22,793 --> 01:20:25,459
- Really? Thing? - My apologies.
1022
01:20:25,460 --> 01:20:29,000
I admit I spent more than expected,
1023
01:20:29,001 --> 01:20:32,209
but now, more than ever,
it is important to go beyond.
1024
01:20:32,210 --> 01:20:35,292
Whatever proposal will Westinghouse
for the Fair, we have...
1025
01:20:35,293 --> 01:20:37,668
- You have to offer more. - I must.
1026
01:20:39,043 --> 01:20:40,543
Devo.
1027
01:20:42,626 --> 01:20:43,835
Who is Nikola Tesla?
1028
01:20:47,001 --> 01:20:48,084
He who does?
1029
01:20:48,085 --> 01:20:49,960
He gave a lecture at Columbia.
1030
01:20:50,585 --> 01:20:54,751
It is said that Serbia is building a
multi-phase motor for Westinghouse.
1031
01:20:55,335 --> 01:20:57,167
Light and energy.
1032
01:20:57,168 --> 01:20:59,459
If you can get both, now you can do it too.
1033
01:20:59,460 --> 01:21:02,125
No one knows what it will take
to build a working model...
1034
01:21:02,126 --> 01:21:04,668
Until this morning, you have given...
1035
01:21:05,251 --> 01:21:10,251
nine other cities to Westinghouse.
Therefore, this is what happens.
1036
01:21:11,001 --> 01:21:15,501
Edison Electric will build
with some emerging company.
1037
01:21:16,126 --> 01:21:17,793
You're out.
1038
01:21:18,710 --> 01:21:19,710
And you know why?
1039
01:21:20,668 --> 01:21:24,126
Ve I will say if you want this
moment to be even more unpleasant.
1040
01:21:24,335 --> 01:21:26,625
You receive the shares,
1041
01:21:26,626 --> 01:21:29,043
and you will keep your
place in the Council.
1042
01:21:35,293 --> 01:21:38,417
- Who will do the presentation? You?
- Good God, no.
1043
01:21:38,418 --> 01:21:39,459
And me I say now?
1044
01:21:39,460 --> 01:21:41,792
I was here. I thought meritaste
to hear you say in your face.
1045
01:21:41,793 --> 01:21:42,793
No it is not true.
1046
01:21:42,794 --> 01:21:47,210
You wanted me just wasting time and get
me to sign autographs peri children.
1047
01:21:48,293 --> 01:21:50,459
- How you gonna call?
- And what worries you?
1048
01:21:50,460 --> 01:21:52,000
Edison Electric. It must be called so.
1049
01:21:52,001 --> 01:21:55,792
Edison and electricity are
synonyms, Morgan. The bulbs...
1050
01:21:55,793 --> 01:21:58,792
I will connect a failed
name fledgling company.
1051
01:21:58,793 --> 01:22:01,000
Now that leaked the letters,
you lose credibility.
1052
01:22:01,001 --> 01:22:02,417
- So what will? - The name?
1053
01:22:02,418 --> 01:22:04,125
Yes, the damn name!
1054
01:22:04,126 --> 01:22:06,750
The contract says only "General
Electric", but I will invent something.
1055
01:22:06,751 --> 01:22:08,085
Even I can be creative.
1056
01:22:17,710 --> 01:22:18,751
Mr. Insull?
1057
01:22:20,876 --> 01:22:22,210
Just a minute.
1058
01:23:01,585 --> 01:23:04,459
He said that will keep your name,
just not to overhang complaint
1059
01:23:04,460 --> 01:23:06,917
or who do not speak negatively
to the merger printing.
1060
01:23:06,918 --> 01:23:08,126
What gave you?
1061
01:23:09,210 --> 01:23:11,334
- Tell me.
- The vice presidency, but I refused.
1062
01:23:11,335 --> 01:23:12,584
- You should accept. - Why?
1063
01:23:12,585 --> 01:23:14,459
Alternating current,
what is the voltage transmission?
1064
01:23:14,460 --> 01:23:15,750
It was 230,000.
1065
01:23:15,751 --> 01:23:17,584
What is it made the filament
in a light bulb 12,000 hours?
1066
01:23:17,585 --> 01:23:19,000
Carbon Japanese Bamboo.
1067
01:23:19,001 --> 01:23:20,167
- What do you eat for breakfast? - Pie.
1068
01:23:20,168 --> 01:23:23,710
Of what surprised you? Of course the
servants. You are me, but in human form.
1069
01:23:32,793 --> 01:23:34,251
Look around.
1070
01:23:34,751 --> 01:23:35,835
Who is missing?
1071
01:23:38,626 --> 01:23:41,209
Edison General Electric Company, pray.
1072
01:23:41,210 --> 01:23:43,250
General Electric?
1073
01:23:43,251 --> 01:23:45,460
- Edison General Electric Company. - Yes.
1074
01:23:46,501 --> 01:23:47,835
Excuse me.
1075
01:24:01,126 --> 01:24:02,168
He has 12 years.
1076
01:24:02,751 --> 01:24:05,959
Mr. Insull?
They are members of the Commission.
1077
01:24:05,960 --> 01:24:08,709
Listen carefully.
Concentrate on the quality of light.
1078
01:24:08,710 --> 01:24:10,875
I do not care what the court says.
1079
01:24:10,876 --> 01:24:12,334
Westinghouse stole my bulbs.
1080
01:24:12,335 --> 01:24:15,375
The good news for you is that
it has done a terrible job.
1081
01:24:15,376 --> 01:24:18,375
They are outdoor lamps,
and last about two hours.
1082
01:24:18,376 --> 01:24:20,376
Therefore, at the timing to replace them.
1083
01:24:21,418 --> 01:24:23,250
He speaks of the superiority of our,
1084
01:24:23,251 --> 01:24:25,459
as if there was no competition.
1085
01:24:25,460 --> 01:24:30,292
Use term as "standard", "purest",
and "the most beautiful light", and so on.
1086
01:24:30,293 --> 01:24:32,959
Find out what kind of men they are.
There are only two types:
1087
01:24:32,960 --> 01:24:36,459
those who believe they are
practical, but they are dreamers.
1088
01:24:36,460 --> 01:24:38,542
They are the ones who take risks.
1089
01:24:38,543 --> 01:24:41,084
The other, smile at you
and thank you for I show,
1090
01:24:41,085 --> 01:24:42,710
but vote with their wallets.
1091
01:24:43,001 --> 01:24:45,750
Unless Westinghouse did
not play all that he has,
1092
01:24:45,751 --> 01:24:48,667
Morgan will put you in good
stead with the lenders.
1093
01:24:48,668 --> 01:24:51,334
Your only job is to look
the dreamers in the eye
1094
01:24:51,335 --> 01:24:52,415
and promise them the magic.
1095
01:24:53,376 --> 01:24:57,417
Now tell me everything you remember
about the series and parallel circuits
1096
01:24:57,418 --> 01:25:00,667
without using the words I just said.
1097
01:25:00,668 --> 01:25:03,334
Even though I'm young,
I'm an expert in these matters,
1098
01:25:03,335 --> 01:25:06,376
at the level of the same Edison.
1099
01:25:06,710 --> 01:25:09,500
If you had to choose Westinghouse, then...
1100
01:25:09,501 --> 01:25:10,917
So yes.
1101
01:25:10,918 --> 01:25:15,376
There is a possibility of endangering
the lives of 28 million people.
1102
01:25:16,293 --> 01:25:19,543
If Westinghouse did even
the smallest mistake...
1103
01:25:20,043 --> 01:25:22,584
unintentionally, of course.
1104
01:25:22,585 --> 01:25:25,417
A political visit, a wife,
a child of seven years
1105
01:25:25,418 --> 01:25:29,250
It could lean against a
lamppost and died instantly.
1106
01:25:29,251 --> 01:25:30,251
That's all.
1107
01:25:30,751 --> 01:25:34,250
Electricity Mr. Westinghouse is fatal.
1108
01:25:34,251 --> 01:25:36,834
Thank you, Mr. Insull.
1109
01:25:36,835 --> 01:25:38,500
Just to be clear, sir,
1110
01:25:38,501 --> 01:25:41,667
each electric current over 200
milliamperes can be deadly.
1111
01:25:41,668 --> 01:25:42,668
Even yours?
1112
01:25:51,126 --> 01:25:55,000
Mr. Westinghouse, they are members of
the Commission Buildings and Grounds:
1113
01:25:55,001 --> 01:25:59,000
Charles Schwab, Craig Cannon,
the mayor Cregier, of course.
1114
01:25:59,001 --> 01:25:59,918
Certainly.
1115
01:25:59,919 --> 01:26:04,251
Victor Lawson of the Chicago Daily
News, and the Honorable Judge Tree.
1116
01:26:05,126 --> 01:26:06,375
Io sono Daniel Burnham.
1117
01:26:06,376 --> 01:26:10,959
We ask you to limit
your remarks to an hour.
1118
01:26:10,960 --> 01:26:12,293
It will not be necessary.
1119
01:26:13,126 --> 01:26:15,251
- Here's to you. Lord. - Thanks.
1120
01:26:20,543 --> 01:26:21,543
My proposal.
1121
01:26:22,293 --> 01:26:24,959
- These are all your figures? - Yes, sir.
1122
01:26:24,960 --> 01:26:26,625
Independent estimates.
1123
01:26:26,626 --> 01:26:30,042
Before considering the merits,
1124
01:26:30,043 --> 01:26:33,209
we would like to start
with some general question.
1125
01:26:33,210 --> 01:26:38,125
Why should we assign to you the
contract for the World's Fair?
1126
01:26:38,126 --> 01:26:43,876
I think because our system
works better and...
1127
01:26:46,418 --> 01:26:49,376
because our system is much cheaper.
1128
01:26:54,376 --> 01:26:58,667
Mr. Schwab, Mr. Higinbotham,
Mr. Cannon, Cregier mayor,
1129
01:26:58,668 --> 01:27:02,085
Mr. Lawson, judge Tree and Mr. Burnham...
1130
01:27:02,793 --> 01:27:05,751
thanks for your time
and for your consideration.
1131
01:27:19,001 --> 01:27:22,584
Financially, it is clear.
We take the best offer.
1132
01:27:22,585 --> 01:27:25,542
- Westinghouse is dangerous.
- Potentially dangerous.
1133
01:27:25,543 --> 01:27:27,459
It even included in its documents.
1134
01:27:27,460 --> 01:27:30,585
The alternating current will be
used to kill the man in Buffalo.
1135
01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:44,750
Both lights come on, right?
1136
01:27:44,751 --> 01:27:48,376
Westinghouse saves us money,
Thomas Edison sells tickets.
1137
01:27:51,251 --> 01:27:56,751
What I would not give to leaf through it.
And the book of the future, right?
1138
01:28:00,668 --> 01:28:02,417
We need a clear majority, gentlemen.
1139
01:28:02,418 --> 01:28:04,658
- You do not hai'delle shares of GE?
- It is immaterial.
1140
01:28:06,668 --> 01:28:09,500
No one has ever done what
you have done for me.
1141
01:28:09,501 --> 01:28:13,209
The value of something is not determined
by how much you are willing to pay,
1142
01:28:13,210 --> 01:28:16,292
but the value is given
by what it represents.
1143
01:28:16,293 --> 01:28:19,168
When we vote again, Burnham,
you can call the winner tonight.
1144
01:28:24,668 --> 01:28:27,667
It is true that you are born
during a lightning storm?
1145
01:28:27,668 --> 01:28:28,668
It's true.
1146
01:28:31,918 --> 01:28:34,793
Agree. Tell me one thing
contained in that book.
1147
01:28:36,793 --> 01:28:39,834
You and Edison you focused on
the two ends of the system,
1148
01:28:39,835 --> 01:28:41,917
dynamos and light bulbs.
1149
01:28:41,918 --> 01:28:45,585
- But what about what's in between?
- The cables?
1150
01:28:46,460 --> 01:28:47,460
We need it?
1151
01:29:04,710 --> 01:29:08,335
The problem is that
the Remington has many advantages...
1152
01:29:12,835 --> 01:29:16,210
but unfortunately the gunpowder was wet.
1153
01:29:48,501 --> 01:29:49,751
What's this?
1154
01:29:52,793 --> 01:29:56,793
This will be to the eye what
the phonograph ears pearls.
1155
01:30:02,168 --> 01:30:03,293
Dot?
1156
01:30:19,960 --> 01:30:21,543
Yet.
1157
01:30:24,335 --> 01:30:25,335
Yet.
1158
01:31:58,460 --> 01:32:00,251
Any last words?
1159
01:32:02,585 --> 01:32:04,793
I think to go to a better place.
1160
01:32:07,126 --> 01:32:08,876
Farewell, William.
1161
01:32:17,043 --> 01:32:23,043
We live in a higher civilization.
From this day.
1162
01:33:41,335 --> 01:33:45,084
"A terrible sight,
much worse than hanging."
1163
01:33:45,085 --> 01:33:49,167
Westinghouse says: "They would
have done better with an ax".
1164
01:33:49,168 --> 01:33:50,584
"A sizzling noise.
1165
01:33:50,585 --> 01:33:53,751
A cloud of smoke filled the room
with the smell of burnt hair."
1166
01:33:55,043 --> 01:33:56,918
Well, at least it was a murderess.
1167
01:33:59,251 --> 01:34:01,376
At least no longer use to kill anyone.
1168
01:34:09,251 --> 01:34:13,751
Soon everyone will have electric light
and no one will remember what happened.
1169
01:34:15,293 --> 01:34:20,626
I have books so full of ideas to
take over 12 lives to achieve them.
1170
01:34:22,043 --> 01:34:24,751
So, we let him have the Fair and the Falls.
1171
01:34:29,835 --> 01:34:31,376
Well, for what it's worth...
1172
01:34:32,043 --> 01:34:34,324
I prefer to have worked
for you and for Westinghouse.
1173
01:34:35,710 --> 01:34:36,751
And why?
1174
01:34:37,751 --> 01:34:39,960
Well, I would not have
had so much fun, right?
1175
01:35:41,085 --> 01:35:43,334
Have you seen much of the Fair?
1176
01:35:43,335 --> 01:35:46,584
- A lesson in Muybridge, Little Egypt.
- The dancer?
1177
01:35:46,585 --> 01:35:48,001
- Did you see? - No.
1178
01:35:48,876 --> 01:35:50,376
It was really...
1179
01:35:51,126 --> 01:35:52,126
If you have time.
1180
01:35:59,043 --> 01:36:01,751
You do not believe that the
fence is a unique creation?
1181
01:36:03,335 --> 01:36:06,626
Your neighbor pulls on one
and suddenly become two.
1182
01:36:07,376 --> 01:36:09,085
You also have a fence.
1183
01:36:10,335 --> 01:36:11,584
There is only one problem.
1184
01:36:11,585 --> 01:36:14,250
A person on one side of
the fence he designed.
1185
01:36:14,251 --> 01:36:18,875
A person on the one hand built
it, a person has paid for it,
1186
01:36:18,876 --> 01:36:23,210
yet the other person receives a
beautiful fence and without paying.
1187
01:36:25,126 --> 01:36:27,126
I did not steal your ideas.
1188
01:36:27,960 --> 01:36:29,251
Mr. Edison?
1189
01:36:30,418 --> 01:36:31,501
Right.
1190
01:36:33,751 --> 01:36:34,751
Thanks.
1191
01:36:35,668 --> 01:36:39,209
- I was wondering one thing.
- I am sure there are many.
1192
01:36:39,210 --> 01:36:42,335
I wanted to invite you to dinner... again,
1193
01:36:42,876 --> 01:36:45,209
but I imagine a moment is like the other.
1194
01:36:45,210 --> 01:36:47,125
You want to know what was in
the light bulb for 13 hours?
1195
01:36:47,126 --> 01:36:49,167
- I know how it works.
- Yeah, I know that I know.
1196
01:36:49,168 --> 01:36:51,376
Just I wanted to know how it felt.
1197
01:36:52,835 --> 01:36:54,335
- Such as? - The bulb.
1198
01:36:55,460 --> 01:36:56,626
When you have learned.
1199
01:36:57,501 --> 01:36:59,626
What was the feeling at that time?
1200
01:37:07,918 --> 01:37:10,001
I could not tell you. In the sense...
1201
01:37:11,418 --> 01:37:16,210
It is impossible to describe the
feeling because it was impossible.
1202
01:37:17,168 --> 01:37:20,543
Years of work. Ten thousand
different types of filaments.
1203
01:37:20,960 --> 01:37:24,500
When the wire entered the
bulb, as always, we bet it.
1204
01:37:24,501 --> 01:37:27,167
And the crackling generator,
as the ball began to glow...
1205
01:37:27,168 --> 01:37:30,085
We were expecting just another failure.
1206
01:37:31,918 --> 01:37:33,876
Then, something happened.
1207
01:37:37,418 --> 01:37:40,668
Our best-stranded lasted only ten minutes
1208
01:37:40,960 --> 01:37:46,376
and this time we were at 20.
The people began to murmur.
1209
01:37:46,835 --> 01:37:50,500
Then, 30, 40 minutes, one hour, two hours.
1210
01:37:50,501 --> 01:37:52,792
And people began to scream.
1211
01:37:52,793 --> 01:37:55,959
Remember that we had never
gone more than ten minutes.
1212
01:37:55,960 --> 01:37:59,460
The boys climbed on the
walls, tore their hair...
1213
01:38:01,335 --> 01:38:03,085
Because it was impossible.
1214
01:38:04,126 --> 01:38:08,168
Seven hours. Eight hours. Nine...
1215
01:38:08,876 --> 01:38:11,251
We were silent when we got to ten.
1216
01:38:12,960 --> 01:38:17,084
We were sitting watching the
illuminated spirit, drunk with magic,
1217
01:38:17,085 --> 01:38:18,709
We stared as the...
1218
01:38:18,710 --> 01:38:22,210
I do not know,
as if Baby Jesus sounded Mozart.
1219
01:38:25,918 --> 01:38:28,960
After 13 hours,
the glass broke and I I knew.
1220
01:38:31,085 --> 01:38:33,168
The world was no longer I myself.
1221
01:38:35,460 --> 01:38:38,543
I'm working on something
new, so new that...
1222
01:38:39,751 --> 01:38:43,668
people forget the connection
between my name and electricity.
1223
01:38:44,043 --> 01:38:46,418
I wonder if you know what it is.
1224
01:38:52,126 --> 01:38:54,460
I believe that the solution is...
1225
01:38:54,751 --> 01:38:56,793
split the cost of the fence.
1226
01:38:59,293 --> 01:39:03,418
Or not at all to build a fence.
1227
01:39:05,126 --> 01:39:07,251
Your garden would be twice as large.
1228
01:39:07,876 --> 01:39:10,293
Is not it, Tom?
1229
01:39:17,626 --> 01:39:19,026
If nothing else, it was a pleasure.
1230
01:39:21,376 --> 01:39:23,460
Enjoy the Fair, George.
1231
01:39:41,418 --> 01:39:45,168
We build monuments to talk about
the future, to say that we were here.
1232
01:39:46,668 --> 01:39:48,418
What we experienced.
1233
01:39:49,585 --> 01:39:53,417
The real legacy is not
that we build up to the sky
1234
01:39:53,418 --> 01:39:55,918
or carve in stone.
1235
01:39:56,460 --> 01:39:58,168
The rock will crumble.
1236
01:39:58,751 --> 01:40:00,918
The paper will disintegrate.
1237
01:40:01,460 --> 01:40:03,626
And the bones become dust.
1238
01:40:05,001 --> 01:40:08,250
Only that which does not
exist in the physical realm
1239
01:40:08,251 --> 01:40:11,168
and that can reach both
directions, will be eternal.
1240
01:40:12,335 --> 01:40:14,168
Our ideas.
1241
01:40:15,751 --> 01:40:17,835
These are what we leave behind.
1242
01:40:19,168 --> 01:40:21,918
And they are those that
can move us forward.
1243
01:40:27,042 --> 01:40:31,597
Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse
build a power plant from Niagara Falls,
1244
01:40:31,622 --> 01:40:35,466
paving the way for the distribution
of electricity like never before.
1245
01:40:37,290 --> 01:40:41,417
Unable to make a profit from his
genius, Tesla died full of debts,
1246
01:40:41,442 --> 01:40:44,714
alone, in room 3227 of
the New Yorker Hotel.
1247
01:40:47,138 --> 01:40:49,736
In 1911, the American Institute
of Electrical Engineers
1248
01:40:49,761 --> 01:40:52,062
awarded George Westinghouse
the highest honor:
1249
01:40:52,086 --> 01:40:55,086
The Edison Medal.
1250
01:40:57,010 --> 01:41:01,272
Before he died, George Westinghouse
burned all his personal cards
1251
01:41:01,297 --> 01:41:03,734
to be recorded only through his actions.
1252
01:41:05,858 --> 01:41:09,906
After losing the War of the Currents,
Edison was granted patents for the
1253
01:41:09,931 --> 01:41:13,982
kinetoscope and the kinetographer, thus
investing a new industry: cinematography.
1254
01:41:15,606 --> 01:41:20,106
After his death the country turned down
the lights for a minute in his honor.
1255
01:44:02,200 --> 01:44:06,200
The man who enlightened the world
