All language subtitles for Vienna

He wants us to find him.

We're a part of his plan.

You and I.

Max?

Krull must have moved the
bed to make his shrine.

I know this symbol.

"Purify our blood"?

Max, who's responsible for this?

Gustav von Triebenbach.

I told you, he's a friend.

He's honourable, a decent man.

He found it and he
thought I should see it.

The Brotherhood of Primal Fire.

No name. No address of a printer.

Wait. No artist leaves
his work unsigned.

There.

On the leg.

"A Olbricht".

Andreas Olbricht?

Inspector Rheinhardt,
Leopoldstadt Police.

This is my colleague,
Dr Liebermann. This is your work?

What is this about, exactly?

Is this your design?

For the opera, The Magic Flute.

Ah, yes, I'm taking Clara.

Hasn't been on in Vienna for years.

Tell me about the pamphlet.

A private commissioner.

Paid in cash.

Wanted something with a classical theme.

And the symbol on the shield?

Specifically asked for it.

Look at the content.

Have you read it?

A job is a job.
Politics do not interest me.

"Consecrate our Earth"?

It's a call to arms.

"Rid Vienna of the inferior races"?

Commissions are hard to come by.
That's why I'm doing this.

It is paying for my meals.

Five people have been murdered.

Whoever commissioned this work,

there's a chance he inspired the killer.

We just need to know who paid for it.

And if I tell you...

..then I could lose business.

Damn it, we're talking about murder!

You get in my way,

I'll drag you to trial
for obstructing justice!

Andreas? What's... What's happening?

What's going on?

Just some visitors.

Nothing to worry about.
Go back to sleep, Mother.

Oskar... All right, all right!

There's an exhibition of my work.

The men you want...

..the men who commissioned this...

..they will all be there.

"All"?

The Brotherhood of Primal Fire.

He died in custody.

I saw the newspapers.

Well, you tried to help us.

Thank you.

I, er...

I wanted to ask you something.

Before you say anything,
I need to make a little speech.

You and I have had a strange beginning.

Most people when they meet,

they stand behind a veil of politeness.

They dance around each other,
never saying what they mean.

You and I have never done that, just...

..force of circumstance.

So...

..I hope you'll forgive
me for being blunt.

But then, blunt is the only
language we have ever spoken, Doctor.

My life has been more settled of late.

Yes, I'm glad to hear it. I was...

I was grateful to have the opportunity

to work with you on your case.

But I think that's where
our... acquaintance should end.

I don't think we should
see each other again.

If I've offended you in some... No, Max.

I am trying to rebuild
my life here in Vienna.

Don't you see?

After my illness and
the article in the paper,

the... scandal that surrounded it.

I didn't intend...

You and I have only
ever spoken the truth.

Good luck with your engagement.

I was wrong.

And I'm sorry.

I never thought I'd bury my own child!

You don't know how that feels!

Yes...

Yes, I do.

Ah, good evening. Good evening.

Welcome.

My pleasure.

I would be grateful if you
could be discreet, Doctor.

Keep a muzzle on your inspector.

Good evening, sir. Good evening.

Thank you.

Thank you.

What for? For this.

For taking me out. For reminding me.

Reminding you of what?

That we do know how to be happy.

Like something from a chocolate box.

Oh, of course.
They're not the modern taste.

You can't just make somebody
look pretty and desirable.

Don't tell me, you like them.

Well, let me see if I can find one

to hang above the mantelpiece
in our new home. Yes.

Max? Isn't that your inspector?

Inspector Rheinhardt.

Doctor.

Oh, you remember my fiancee, Clara.

Fraulein.

You came to our engagement party.

Yes, thank you. What are you doing here?

I thought Max was taking me out.

Er...

I didn't realise there were three
of us. That's going to make it

awfully difficult when we
choose dance partners. Clara...

You forgot to mention he was coming.

Well, never mind.
You forget so many things these days.

I'd be surprised if he
shows up to the wedding.

Let me leave you boys alone.

Beautiful girl.

Energetic. Wonderful humour.

I wonder what attracts her to you.

Yes, I've been starting
to think the same thing.

Olbricht said they'd all be here.

The Brotherhood.

Let's get to work, Doctor.

Looks like it ought to be stuck
inside a book of fairy tales.

You're not an admirer?

My uncle has no eye for art.

I come for the champagne.

Your uncle?

Yes.

Gustav von Triebenbach.

It's his champagne you're drinking.

So, that's von Triebenbach? Yes.

He's our host.

Which rather begs the question
- how did you get in here?

I'm a friend of the artist. Ah.

Me, too. Welcome.

I don't know your name.

Er, Max. Max Liebermann.

Er, I didn't catch yours.

I didn't give it.

Now...

..that's art.

Sorry? Her. In gold.

Excuse me.

But I prefer...

"Thou art fairer than the evening air

"Clad in the beauty
of a thousand stars."

How many times?

I beg your pardon?

Every gentleman in Vienna knows
two lines of poetry by heart.

How many times have
you used it this week?

How many girls are fairer
than the evening air?

Ruprecht Hafner.

Clara Weiss.

Clad in the beauty of...?

What was it?

A thousand stars.

Yes.

Is everything all right?

Of course.

It's von Triebenbach.

Carnuntum. Yeah.

Carnuntum.

You know your history?

History?

No, I thought it was
just a folk tale. Ha.

The, er, tribesmen rise up,
rid the land of the invaders.

No.

No, no, no, no.

You're an author. I beg your pardon?

Isn't this your work?

I'm sorry. You are mistaken.

Thank you.

One of them is responsible.

Max? How was your evening?

Your friend, von Triebenbach...

Mm-hm. What about him?

He may not be as
honourable as you imagine.

What on Earth are you talking about?

That pamphlet he gave you...

He didn't find it by accident.

The Brotherhood of Primal Fire,

I think he may be one of them.

I'm in a bedroom. My parents' room.

The wardrobe looks like a mausoleum
- dark, frightening.

The door begins to creak open.

A terrifying beast jumps out of it,
like a wolf from a children's story.

And then another one
jumps out right beside it.

Two wolves coming towards me,
threatening to tear me to pieces.

Two ravenous beasts,
writhing, trying to kill me.

The patient has a primal fear
of sex, no doubt from something

he witnessed as a child. Two beasts.

The creatures in the wardrobe
represent the bodies of his parents.

He saw them together.
And now he finds sex repulsive.

He's chosen to give his heart to a woman

with whom he has no hope
of ever becoming intimate.

Freud recommends a talking cure.

Ah! Freud again!

The patient must re-live the memory.

Expressed emotions do not merely
sink without a trace, Professor.

They bubble up to the surface.

I don't like your methods, Liebermann.

I've warned you,
this is science, not fashion.

I'll take his case.

But, sir, I'm just making progress.

Max, you're way too early.

You don't know how many doors
I've knocked on in Vienna.

May I?

Yes, of course.

There's something wrong.

Things will have to change, Rachel.

What things?

My new investment.

I may not be able to
rely on it, after all.

Oh, no, what a pity!

That new outfit you had
your eye on for winter,

our spring holiday, those things
may have to wait another year.

What's happened? What's the matter?

Someone I've been
courting as a friend...

..I no longer wish to
be associated with.

We have everything we need...

..and we're strong as a family.

We don't need anyone.

All dressed up for someone.

We're going to the opera.

"We"?

So...

..I'll have to wait my turn, then.

"Turn" doesn't exactly
sound respectful to a lady.

Whoever he is,

he's become a bore, I can tell.

If you ever need cheering up,

then I would be happy
to entertain you...

..Fraulein.

These are all political acts.
It's not the work of some lunatic.

Those women at the
brothel were immigrants.

The poultry seller was Czech.

You see?

You're telling me that,
from this moment,

any immigrant in this
city is under threat?

If we announce that fact,
we will have public panic.

What is it?

There's some other
connection, beside the runes.

I just can't see it yet.

I'm sorry.

Please...

..forgive me. Hm.

Are you going to be angry all evening?

I think I should at least be
permitted a pout, don't you?

Excuse me.

Is your inspector joining us again?

Max, what's the matter?

Max?

Come with me.

It begins like this.

The first image on stage is
a snake. The giant serpent,

striking to kill the prince.

So? What are you telling me?

Von Bulow's case. The city zoo.

Someone broke into the reptile
house and a snake was butchered,

found hanging near Mozart's statue.

Next on stage, three women appear.

Mozart calls them

the "servants of the
Queen of the Night".

Max, what are you talking about?

The women meet with
Papageno, the bird-catcher.

The poultry seller!

Dear Christ!

Monostatos is the next
character on stage.

The Moor. The African who died.

It's not random. No.

He's re-enacting the opera?

You wanted to share my world, Clara.

The killer is preaching
a political message,

killing Africans and Czechs.

And it's all connected
to the opera somehow.

That's absurd, young man.

Incredible!

Your emblem written in blood...

..beside these mutilated bodies.

"Consecrate our Earth,

"purify our blood."

I'm not responsible.

You are part of this Brotherhood.

Sir? I found this.

These men are all patriots, Inspector.

They've done nothing illegal.

You can't lock a man up
just for waving a banner.

Where were you last night?

Can you account for your movements?

I was with a lady.

Now, leave me alone.

You asked to see me again?

Our contract.

I'm cancelling it.

I'm sorry?

I've decided I don't
want your investment.

What the hell are you talking about?

These people who you say
are polluting the city,

the workers from the East...

I have a responsibility to them.

They are my friends,
as well as my colleagues.

Ah...

Er...

You're a Jew.

You're going to need
people to support you.

I have just as many friends as I need.

Nobody throws me out, Herr Liebermann.

Well, then, this has been
a new experience for you.

What happened?

With the opera killer?

Yes.

We didn't make an arrest.

Don't concern yourself.

I want to concern myself.

Max, I knew what I was getting

when I agreed to marry you.

I know the world you inhabit
is dark and frightening.

And, still, I want to be a part of it.

So?

I know who's responsible
for these murders, Clara.

But I just can't prove it.

Well, tell me, who is it?

Hafner. He's a soldier.

You met him, actually, at the salon.

I have to go to the hospital.

Thank you for listening to me.

Would you see that this is
delivered to the barracks?

Thank you.

Herr Bieber?

Doctor.

You're leaving.

Yes, they say I'm well again.

Did he...

Professor Gruner... I mean, did he...?

He made me forget. Yes.

Please, come in.

I suppose you've got some
more lines of poetry memorised.

Spent the whole afternoon
in the library. Hmm.

What do I get for my efforts?

What about some conversation?

What about none at all?

I was very delighted to get your letter.

I want to talk.

I want to get to know you better.

We're all alone.
I want to know all your secrets.

Max?

No.

Please, don't.

I just want to talk.

That's not what you really mean.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that.

Little girls shouldn't tease
if they're not going to play.

Shh, shh, shh...

Don't struggle...

Get off! ..or it'll hurt more.

Trust me, you'll like it,
once you get past the shame!

Clara!

Clara! Clara!

Well... This must be
a scene I recognise.

The impotent boyfriend,

jealous that I got to
touch what he didn't.

Seems you can't get enough
of my company, Doctor.

Apparently, you want to
make love to me more than

to your little girlfriend.

No, you're not going anywhere!

God save us.

You're all the same.

Woman sits at home ignored.

As soon as a man comes sniffing round,

suddenly you're flourishing.

Dawn.

Vienna Woods.

I'm so sorry, Clara.

You have to arrest him. Arrest him?

He assaulted her!

Then it's his word against hers.

What, you don't believe me?

It doesn't matter what I believe.

She invited him into her home, Max.

We'll arrest him for putting his hands
on her and he'll just walk out of here.

Her reputation will be tarnished forever

and he will have a story to
boast about to his comrades.

I have to get him to confess.

What are you talking about now?

Vienna Woods, dawn. Meet me there.

You're going to fight a duel with him?
Well, that's ridiculous!

I'm not going to fight him!
I'll get him to admit the truth.

If he thinks I'm going to die,
perhaps he'll confess

to being the killer.
I'll need a second, of course.

It can't be you.
He knows you're a police officer.

No.

No!

You want me to...?

What? Be a witness. Hear his confession.

This is absurd.

Inspector Rheinhardt will be on hand.

But you can make the arrest.

You can have all the glory.

I, er, don't trust von Bulow.

You should be there to step in.

I spend my life saving your skin.
Why should today be different?

Do nothing until I say.

Where is Rheinhardt? Nearby.

Shut up and keep walking.

I want to be the one to make the arrest.

You will. Just wait for the confession.

Who is the offended party?

He struck me.

For unlacing the top two
rows of a woman's corset.

In accordance with the established
code, it is for you to confirm

before these witnesses
the terms of engagement.

Death.

Take your positions.

Stand back-to-back.

March 20 paces from the
moment I raise my kerchief.

After 20 paces,

you turn...

..and fire.

Gentlemen?

Anything to say before
I blow your brains out?

Yes, I just wanted to congratulate you.

What?

The blood on the walls
- you left a trail for us.

What?

Three women, the Czech,
Papageno, Monostatos.

It's all very clever.

I don't understand.

I'm talking about Spittelberg.

You think I'm responsible for that?

Begin!

Don't be so modest.

Enjoy the adulation.

You wanted an audience. Well, here I am.

Why not confess to me now?!

I'll never be able to tell a soul!

I'm not a murderer!

I'm an officer in the Dragoons!

Gentlemen, stop!
The rules are quite clear.

You are accusing me? Begin again!

We know a Dragoon visited
the brothel the day they died.

So? So what?

Gentlemen!

We know a soldier was in that room.

We all go there.
I've been there many times.

A friend took me.
Doesn't make me a killer.

"A friend"?

What friend?

Tell me his name.

What friend?!

I'm a friend of the artist.

Me, too.

What are you doing?

Stop! Pick it up!

Dr Liebermann!

What did he say?

Pick it up!

Inspector!

Can I make my arrest now?

Oskar!

Oskar!

Oskar!

I haven't seem him.
He didn't come in this morning.

Sarastro.

What?

The character in the opera,
the one who brings him to trial.

Oskar is Sarastro!

That's why he left the runes.
He wanted us to follow him.

He needed a policeman
to be the next victim.

He was casting the villain!

Is anybody out there?

Can you hear...?

Olbricht!

Olbricht!

Andreas? Is that you?

We're the police.
Where is he? Where is your son?

It's you.

You're the woman in the paintings.

Ah.

Overture.

Olbricht!

Get out of here!

I will maim him.

I will kill him.

Leave.

What? It's all right, leave.

I'm not with the police.

I'm a doctor. Get out.

Out!

This music...

The opera...

Tell me what happened. What happened?

Your mother.

She's the one in the paintings.

Something happened to
her when you were a boy.

You saw it.

Something happened in your family home.

Who was he?

A soldier.

Vermin.

He attacked her.

You witnessed it.

You were so young.

I hid my eyes.

You could still hear it, the music.

The opera
- this opera. The Magic Flute.

It was playing whilst
he raped your mother.

He was a monster.

Held a sabre to her face.

You think if you can kill
the characters in that opera,

kill the characters from your childhood,

then the screaming will stop.

I always have it in my head.

I know.

Every day, I have the voices...

..the hell in that room.

I have to be a hero, a soldier.

But you're just a boy trying
to kill his nightmares.

It is me! It is me!

I am Tamino!

I am the prince.

It's all over now.

I thought you were going to die.

I just wanted to help you.

You were brave.

Clara, thank you...

I can be even braver.

Who is she, Max?

I know there's someone.

You think I'm not clever enough.

You always have.

Don't... Clara, please.

But I'm clever enough to know
that we're deceiving ourselves...

..and I'm brave enough
to end this marriage.

Certainly braver than you are.

Just tell me who she is.

Do you love her?!

I don't even know myself.

So, I know more than the
doctor? Please, Clara...

I'd prefer it if you go now.

Get out!

If love is just a state of madness,

then perhaps it can be cured.

But where does the
madness begin and end?

Where does the border lie
between love and obsession?
