Einstein may be the brightest mind

I have yet taught.

PERNET: He's a menace!

(yelling)

You are skipping classes

and challenging your instructors.

What I want to know, sir, is why?

My name is Professor Philipp Lenard.

- Herr Professor.
- Mileva Maric.

One doesn't lose track of
the sole woman in the room.

MILOS: She's up all night,
filling her brain with things

I can't begin to understand.

Then how do you know
she understands them?

EINSTEIN: I'm head over heels in love

with your mind. Be my partner.

In life, in love,

in endless scientific pursuit.

PAULINE: How is Marie?
Everyone is quite excited.

- About what?
- The courtship, of course...

- the potential of it!
- I'm going to be a professor.

I will think for thinking's sake.

That is the most indulgent thing

- I've ever heard.
- Oh, don't leave

like this, Albert.

Liar! How could you be

so careless with my heart?!

Physics should be an adventure.

Herr Einstein, enough!

Fail him if you must.

I am no longer concerned for his future.

- Miza!
- Hello, Papa.

I am so sorry, Papa. I failed you.

KATHARINA: I still
don't understand, Philipp.

The invention is yours, is it not?

The modification to the
cathode ray tube he used

were my innovation, yes.

This imposter, what's his name?

- Rontgen.
- Well, if I read this article correctly,

this Rontgen fellow
merely noticed something

using your invention.

He made an observation, yes.

An observation.

There. Taste your eggs.

Make an observation about them.

Too salty, perhaps?

Does that mean you
cooked the damn things?

- No.
- Of course not.

Because to make such a claim
would be absurd.

He's snatched the credit

you justly deserve.

(snaps newspaper)

(exhales): How could I have missed it?

You'll make it right, my love.

I believe in you.

Your brilliance will be recognized.

EINSTEIN: I don't care about awards,

Michele, I care about science,

about understanding
the world around me.

I'm not interested in shiny medals.

This is not just any award...
it's called the Nobel Prize.

Says here it is to be awarded
annually, and beyond notoriety

it comes with a great deal of money.

- Money?
- Just think...

wealth and fame for being a physicist.

You are brilliant, Albert,
you could win one.

Right now I'd trade ten
of these Nobel Prizes

for a teaching job.

Steady.

I've clearly miscalculated the salary

- of an assistant professor.
- Don't be thick.

I won it in a bet with the
head of my department.

This sultry beast...
'tis only mine till sundown.

- BESSO: What was the bet?
- I'm sure it's a riveting yarn,

and I'm happy to suffer
through the whole damn thing

once we're actually
on the road to Basel.

My first interview,

and I'm going to be late... perfect.

Like a virginal maiden,
Albert, this machine needs

to be delicately wooed
to a state of agitation.

If Marcel's history with
the ladies is any predictor,

we'll be on the road by next Tuesday.

Albert, you will sweat

through that suit if
you don't calm down.

Michele, I have sent my paper

to every halfway decent
university in Europe,

and I've been rejected everywhere.

This is the first bite
of the apple I've had.

Mileva's getting impatient.

Mileva? She's in Serbia...
what does she have...?

- (engine starts)
- Ah!

An historic day... Marcel Grossmann

finally gets something
all hot and bothered.

Ah...

(exhales)

MAN: The capillary effect has been

well studied, Herr Einstein.

Your disquisition hardly adds

to the body of knowledge.

To say nothing of your verbose style.

The reading experience
is undeniably taxing.

I would be remiss

to challenge your opinions,
Herr Professor.

Science is not about opinions.

What I mean to say,
Herr Professor, is...

you make many observations
I hadn't considered,

much to my regret.

(chuckles softly)

Your record does you credit,
I must admit.

And despite a large field

of gifted applicants, it
seems that you're somehow

the most qualified
candidate we've yet met.

I shall send your name

up to the committee for approval.

Thank you.

Thank... thank you.

MILEVA: Albert hasn't
abandoned me, Papa.

Then where is he?

Tell me that.

Getting settled.

I need a home to return to
once I've had the baby.

And then what?

Miza. Then what?

You change diapers all day long?

Wipe noses?

Sing lullabies?

No. I will earn my degree, Papa.

- I swear it.
- For years,

I taught you never to rely
on a man for anything.

Do I really need to explain
the situation to you, Papa?

I just don't want you
to punish yourself

for the rest of your life.

Not for making a mistake one night.

It wasn't a mistake.

And it certainly wasn't one night.

You were in Zurich...
the Swiss are experts

at taking care of

Herr Einstein.

Good evening, Frau Schnellham.

You're quite the kitty,
sneaking all about.

Just testing your impeccable hearing.

Still top-notch.

Do you have the rent or not?

Not.

You know your way out, then,

- kitty.
- I've secured a position.

I'm merely awaiting

a final letter of approval.

Then it isn't secured, is it?

Well, perhaps there's word today.

I-I would check the post, but...

seeing as you've confiscated

my mail key...

Please, Frau Schnellham.

(sighs)

Many prominent academics and
leading thinkers in the field

are talking favorably of my work.

(opening envelope)

Well?

EINSTEIN: I was given the impression

that the job was mine
but for a formality.

I've made many inquiries
in search of answers,

but I've been met with silence.

So you have come for help, then.

Just... a small favor,

Herr Professor,
a letter of recommendation,

perhaps.

Perhaps, uh, like,

uh, this one.

(clears throat)

"Esteemed Herr Weber,
forgive my impudence

"in writing you directly,

"but I beg you to intercede
on behalf of my poor Albert.

As a concerned father..."

My father?

Herr Professor, I...

I had no idea.

I would... I would never ask my father

to intercede on my behalf.

Frankly, I'm mortified.

As you should be.

Like any other recent graduate,
I am only asking

that you put in a word
with potential employers.

Oh, but I have.

Many universities
have sought my counsel

on your intellect and your character.

But in good conscience

I have not and I cannot...

recommend your character.

You gave me an unfavorable
recommendation?

Several, in fact.

But that's sabotage.

You openly challenged my authority.

You publicly disrespected me.

How am I to justify sticking
my head above the grass for you

when there are so many qualified alumni

who have actually earned my respect?

But this is my reputation
we're talking about.

And mine, too!

If I recommend someone
and they fail to live up

to my endorsement, how do I look?

But you don't understand, sir.

I have... I have obligations.

(chuckles) Obligations.

You are what? 22?

An unknown, unattached,
healthy young man.

What obligations could
you possibly have?

EINSTEIN: My name is ruined!
All because I couldn't keep

my stupid mouth shut in Weber's class.

I already wrote to Mileva
to tell her I got the job.

Mileva? What has she
got to do with this?

Put in a good word for me,
Marcel, in your department.

I am a flea on the
smelly ass of academia.

No one cares what I have to say.

But there is a position I know of.

Decent wage, steady hours.

What is it?

It's in Bern at the patent office.

Um, clerical position,
but very interesting work.

You could employ some of
your engineering knowledge.

I'm a scientist, Marcel!

I'm better than a clerkship.

- You need money.
- I need a thought,

a paper that can show people
what I can do; I need time.

No, you need a job.

Why not ask your father

could he set you up
in the factory in Milan?

Because he humiliated me.

I'm done with him, after
the letter to Weber.

Did it ever occur to you
that perhaps your father

reached out to Weber because
he cares about you?

Be practical, Albert.

If you will not get a real job,

how on earth will you survive?

Hmm?

♪ ♪

MAN: Whoa.

Maja.

Big brother.

We missed you in Milan.

I thought it would be best

to meet you and Mother here.

Because Father is not with us?

You can't ignore him forever.

He's hurt, Albert.

I'm... I'm not ready to face him.

Not until you feel you've
made something of yourself.

Only then will you be able to
tell him he was wrong about you?

How's Mother?

Did you really have to send her

a photo of your Serbian temptress?

I thought she might like it.

What she really liked was Marie.

She was counting on
you two getting married,

so don't mention Mileva.

(sighs)

PAULINE: Tell me everything
that's been happening.

I'm sure the world is
beating down your door.

I'm, uh, developing many new ideas.

Won't be long before I'm
recognized for my work.

(chuckles)

But, um,

right now, Mother,

the-the truth is, I need money.

Your father's business

needed another infusion
of capital, darling.

I can't go to my brother again.

I'm afraid the well is dry.

You'll have to manage on your own.

If there's such
pressing money concerns,

then why are you taking
such lavish holidays?

Lower your voice, dear.

We must keep up appearances.

If only Marie were here
to teach you some manners.

Marie and I are finished.

And it seems to me, if you apologize

for your boorish behavior,

you may have a chance to win her back.

Mother, you know very well

that I have someone else now.

What? That creature
in the photo you sent?

- She isn't even Jewish.
- Neither is Marie.

Well, at least she isn't Slavic.

- What does that mean?
- Mother.

- Be... She'll be the end of you,
- Albert.

She's just a nasty little witch.

She is no witch.

She's my wife.

(gasps)

Oh.

(crying)

You married that girl?

No, of course not.

Then why did you say that you did?

Because I can't stand the way
that Mother talks about Mileva

and I don't want to give
her the satisfaction

of thinking she can tell me what to do.

So then you're not marrying Mileva.

(sighs)

I'm going to have to.

How... How far along is she?

- Six months.
- God, Albert.

I don't know what I'm supposed to say.
Congratulations?

Are you happy about this?

I love her, Maja.

She's-She's like nobody
I've ever met before.

I felt this... this pull towards her.

Since I saw her, I...
I should be thrilled, but...

But?

Well, now I feel this opposing force

pulling me down.

I'm just getting started with my life.

I'm-I'm worried that if I marry her,

I'll never take flight.

What other choice do you have?

You have a visitor.

MILEVA: A visitor? But who could...?

Sir.

This is quite unexpected.

My dear, it is wonderful to see you.

I would stand,
but you may remember my hip.

It's been acting up.

Yes, of course.

I have to say I was overjoyed

when your father paid a visit

to inform me that my finest
student was back in town.

But I have to admit this is
not merely a social call.

- No?
- I am here

to offer you a teaching position

for the spring term.

It is time we had a woman

on the permanent faculty.

It is a new era.

MILEVA: How could you
ambush me like that?

What if he'd seen my belly?

My secret would be out.

Calm yourself, Mileva.

I just wanted you to know

that there is an alternative.

Einstein used to write you every day.

Now it's once a week at most.

He's... he's very busy, Papa.

Or maybe he has lost interest?

You deduced all of that

by the frequency of his letters?

And so now you want me to
settle for being a schoolmarm?

Perhaps you could teach physics?

You could use the skills
you have learned.

Are you giving up on me, Papa?

I'm giving up on Einstein.

He can't even get a job.

You're wrong.

He has a job.

- Yeah.
- Teaching.

But what is the ether?

What kind of substance has
such remarkable properties?

One has to twist all
of physics into knots

just to make it work,
but it must exist, or else...

Are you a Jew?

I subscribe to no religion.

You look like a Jew.

Are you sliced? Down there?

Does it feel odd to fornicate

if you're sliced?

Timo, your father isn't paying
me to tutor you

about the ins and outs of...
about girls,

I'll show you that mathematics

is as elegant as the finest of women,

and just like women,

it might seem intimidating at first,

but the truth is anyone can do it.

LENARD: Almost anyone
with rudimentary learning

could achieve the same results.

All these prints were taken by me

using my own tubes, not Rontgen's.

It's one thing that you were
able to duplicate his outcome,

but are you implying that Rontgen

actually poached your tube model?

Sir, not only did he
appropriate my design,

he wrote to me asking for supplies.

Supplies which are very
difficult to come by,

and I did graciously comply.

Only to be stabbed in the back,

flank and front for my selfless deed.

Yes, but why should any of
this concern the academy?

LENARD: Professor Plom,

the Nobel Committee is
considering candidates.

If Rontgen receives recognition

for something that isn't all his,

then the entire fabric of this
institution is under attack.

Unlike Rontgen,

I'm seeking neither fame nor money.

I am defending science itself.

PLOM: What specifically
are you asking us to do?

Compose a letter of support
to the Nobel Committee, hmm?

Immediately.

May we have the room, Philipp?

Hmm, yeah.

(door closes)

He's bringing politics into science.

I can't condone it.

It's beneath us all.

PLOM: Still, imagine how we would feel

if an inferior talent
snatched recognition

for one of our achievements.

A bit of ink, it costs us nothing.

ALBERT: Dearest Mileva,

I understand you're upset
I haven't written,

but I've been terribly busy.

And while I'd love nothing more

than to have you visit,

I haven't had time to
furnish my new dwelling.

If you still wish to rendezvous,

I only request it be somewhere

discreet to avoid gossip.

MARIJA A secluded inn.

You do realize that radiation quanta

Are you not Albert Einstein?

You are here for physics?

Indeed.

But recreationally.

My friends accuse me of

to which I plead guilty as charged.

I've studied biology, philosophy,

Physics is the next logical subject

Liquids.

Yes? They run in a tube.

They tend to... They rise

because of what is termed
the capillary effect...

I've got a physics question.

So, I was in my bathtub this morning,

and I dunk my head at the same time

as I knock my hairbrush in with my toe.

And it hits the cast
iron, and it sounds

quite loud underwater.

Why is that?

Well, um... Indulge me

in something that I like to
call a thought experiment.

Let's make waves.

- A hammer hits a string,
- (both mouthing)

causing a vibration

which spreads out as a waveform.

In this case, the medium is
a disturbance of the air,

which, when it hits your eardrums,

is interpreted as sound.

Unlike matter,

waves travel better
through denser materials.

That's why your hairbrush sounded loud.

Put your ears to a rail,

and you can hear locomotives

from miles away when all is silent

an inch above the track.

That's...

- fantastic.
- Yes.

But do you want to know what
I've really been thinking about?

It's light,

because light from
this candelabra, say,

is a wave, just like sound.

But if waves travel better
through denser materials,

then why can I put up my hand

and block out the brightest of lights?

SOLOVINE: Yes.

Why?

Well, scientists think
that light travels

through its own special,
invisible medium.

They call it the ether.

Yeah, but if it's invisible,

- then how do we know it's there?
- We don't.

People have been trying
to understand this for years.

We can't...
We can't see it o-or feel it,

but everywhere that light travels,

the ether is there.

That sounds

pretty fantastical.

- I agree.
- (both chuckle)

But it's the best idea we've got.

A wave needs a medium.

But why?

I don't know.

But I intend to find out.

Damn fine show, Einstein.

(mouths)

(baby cries)

Shh, shh, shh, shh.

(children yelling, laughing)

I don't know how you do it, Helene.

(chuckles)

They turn out to be more of a delight

than you can possibly imagine.

What if I don't want children?

Well, it's a bit late for that.

(baby fusses)

I don't know if I can count on Albert.

Well, you can always

count on me,

Mileva.

You've always been my

And you love children.

No, Mileva...

- Serbia.

Serbia?

Now, go on, tell me.

What's this all about?

I just became a father.

Are you married?

I'm not married to her.

Hmm.

(grunts) Allow me to indulge
in a little thought experiment.

- Just imagine a full and
turbulent household.

A newborn child,

cawing, soiling herself left and right.

Sleepless nights, chaotic days.

A late rent payment, a haggard wife,

nagging her untidy husband...

- Maurice...
- Stay with me now.

This is where it turns naughty.

Your colleagues.

Can you see them?

Huh? Men of inferior intellect.

But untethered by family,
they go zipping past you

at the speed of light.

And you're left...

holding a mewling newborn,
asking yourself, "How the hell

did I get here?"

It's not as if I can turn back time.

- Why are you torturing me?
- My cousin

has a perfectly agreeable situation.

He sends the mother
of his boy a stipend

every month.

Everybody happy.

You're talking

about a woman that I love

and the child she just
brought into the world.

I... Are you suggesting I abandon them?

Abandon? No.

Send money. Provide help.

But you must not sacrifice your dreams

just to make them happy.

Albert.

You are the most
brilliant man I've ever met.

You're going to do great things.

But not if you cinch an anchor

around your neck.

Think about it, Albert.

Maja?

What are you doing here?

I wrote. You didn't answer.

What is it?

It's Father.

He's very sick, Albert.

We must go now.

(knocking)

Herr Professor.

- Thank you.
- Yes, sir.

- (shouts)
- (shattering)

EINSTEIN: They're giving it
to a man named Rontgen.

He's discovered what
they're calling X-rays.

- Perhaps you read about it, Papa.
- Yeah?

The Nobel is a major new prize.

Maybe you will win one someday, yes?

Hmm.

No. (chuckles)

You were right about
me all along, Papa.

I'm... I'm only a dreamer.

No.

No, that's not true.

(gulps) I...

I've never told you this, Papa, but...

when I'm lost,

it's always your voice
I hear in my head.

Guiding me.

Maja told me you were
angry about the letter

I sent to your professor.

I was only trying to help.

I know.

It was childish of me. I'm so sorry.

It wasn't you

- I was angry with.
- (shushing)

Tell me about the girl.

The Serb.

(chuckles softly)
Mother doesn't approve.

(scoffs)

Do you love her?

Yes. But it's very complicated.

You're a complex soul, Albert.

(sniffles)

If you've found a woman

who will abide with your peculiarities,

well, miracles
should not be sniffed at.

(sniffling)

Marry her.

Marry her.

(gasps Have a big family.

Huh?

(gasps)

The one true blessing in this world

is family.

(gasping)

(exhales)

Leave now.

Go

I'd like to die alone.

(sniffles)

(sniffles)

(Einstein saying kaddish)

ALL: Amen.

(continues saying kaddish)

ALL: Amen.

(priest blessing in Serbian)

(crying)

(shushing softly)

(coughs)

(cries)

(coughing)

- (crying)
- (shushes, gasps)

(speaking indistinctly)

(knocking)

Yes?

Telegramma per Albert Einstein.

Thank you.

(bell tolling)

(priest praying in Serbian)

(crying)

(sobbing)

Perhaps it's for the best.

How could you say such a thing?

It is sad, yes,

but you no longer have any
obligation to marry this girl.

Papa gave it his blessing.

Papa is dead.

You told me

that your life was
just getting started.

Now, here you are,

free to pursue your dreams
with no responsibilities.

MILOS: Perhaps this is
God's way of giving you

another chance. Perhaps it's...

Lieserl's gift to you.

You're still young.

You don't need a man.

You never did.

EINSTEIN: What about Mileva?

Maybe this is what
is right for her, too.

I know you, brother. You can barely...

dress yourself,
let alone raise a family.

That isn't true.

You have your eyes set
on the stars, Albert.

It's who you are.
It's what makes you wonderful.

But think about her life.

Here, on Earth.

MILOS: Now you can do anything,

be anybody,

go anywhere.

(train chugging)

(indistinct chatter)

How could you not have come?

I'm so sorry, Dollie.

(sniffles) My father
became ill so fast.

If I had had any idea...

When I saw her

being lowered into the ground...

it was like a piece
of me was torn away.

A piece of me buried alongside her.

And I knew

the only person who
could fill that void...

is you.

And I hate you for that.

Go on hating me if you choose.

I know I deserve it.

And I know I...

I don't deserve you.

But I will never feel anything

but love for you, Mileva.

Marry me, Dollie.

I know it might only be a
humble life I have to offer,

but... (sniffles) it's a good life.

And if we're together,

then it couldn't
possibly be anything else.

KATHARINA: It's only
the very first Nobel.

You will win the next one.
I believe in you, Philipp.

You're a genius.

It's bigger than you
understand, Katharina.

This whole charade, it's...

more evidence of a troubling trend.

And what's that?

This avaricious hunger
for money and acclaim.

It's-it's a disease.

It's the Jewish mind-set.

I didn't know Rontgen was Jewish.

He isn't. But I've worked with them.

I know their hearts.

And Rontgen has a Jewish heart.

He's a rat,

like the Jews.

And rats must be eradicated.

You'll come up with
something marvelous, Philipp.

I know it.

(grunts softly)

Well, good morning, Frau Einstein.

Mm.

What has you so riveted this early?

Philipp Lenard.

He's demonstrated

something interesting in the emissions

of metals when bombarded with light:

more intense light

does not produce
more energetic emissions.

Well, he is a brilliant man.

But he didn't go far enough.

He gives no explanation as to why.

Something more is needed.
Something revolutionary.

If I had the time...

Well, right now you don't.

You're going to be late.

Herr Einstein,
welcome to the patent office.
