I moved my family to Berlin for you.

Albert: The only way to
confirm general relativity

is during a solar eclipse.

Fritz: The kaiser has
declared war on Russia.

Mileva: Your foundation for
general relativity is flawed.

Albert: I could
have been ruined.
23
00:00:41,439 --> 00:00:43,281

agreed to end things.

Elsa: There is quite
a difference between

00:00:46,478 --> 00:00:48,191
separation and divorce.

harness enough energy to

own mother's behavior impeding
175
00:09:58,756 --> 00:10:00,703
my chances of ever
getting married.
176
00:10:00,704 --> 00:10:03,354
You've acted so outrageously
that no self-respecting man
177
00:10:03,355 --> 00:10:05,079
will give me a second look.
178
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,848
Elsa: I will make certain that
you and your sister are settled.
179
00:10:08,849 --> 00:10:11,600
But then where will I be?
180
00:10:12,331 --> 00:10:15,078
When you are older, you will
realize that there is little
181
00:10:15,079 --> 00:10:18,112
for a woman in this world.
182
00:10:18,113 --> 00:10:21,215
One way or another, I must
salvage a life for myself.
183
00:10:32,742 --> 00:10:35,648
Besso: Eduard, is
everything all right?
184
00:10:35,649 --> 00:10:38,463
Hans: Uncle Michele!
185
00:10:38,811 --> 00:10:41,790
Besso: Dear God, Mileva?
186
00:10:41,791 --> 00:10:43,233
Mileva can you hear me?
187
00:10:43,234 --> 00:10:44,643
Hans: She'll wake up.
188
00:10:44,644 --> 00:10:46,470
She always does.
189
00:10:46,471 --> 00:10:47,911
Besso: This has happened before?
190
00:10:47,912 --> 00:10:51,950
Hans: She says her heart beats
fast and then she doesn't
191
00:10:51,951 --> 00:10:54,614
remember what happens next.
192
00:10:55,188 --> 00:10:56,212
Besso: Help me.
193
00:10:56,213 --> 00:10:57,942
Help me lift her.
194
00:10:57,943 --> 00:11:01,183
Hans: She'll all
right, won't she?
195
00:11:05,924 --> 00:11:07,525
Albert: Professor Hilbert?
196
00:11:07,526 --> 00:11:09,961
Hilbert: Ah, Professor Einstein.
197
00:11:09,962 --> 00:11:11,594
Come, come.
198
00:11:11,595 --> 00:11:14,672
I was most taken by your
lecture on relativity.
199
00:11:14,673 --> 00:11:16,145
Couldn't wait to
meet the man with
200
00:11:16,146 --> 00:11:19,514
such a boundless imagination.
201
00:11:20,408 --> 00:11:23,131
Albert: These are
calculations for relativity.
202
00:11:23,132 --> 00:11:24,926
Hilbert: Well I should
hope you would recognize
203
00:11:24,927 --> 00:11:26,945
your own quagmire.
204
00:11:26,946 --> 00:11:28,804
You know, the prickly
points in your theory
205
00:11:28,805 --> 00:11:30,695
have even me at a loss.
206
00:11:30,696 --> 00:11:32,810
For the moment.
207
00:11:32,811 --> 00:11:34,445
Albert: I had hoped to show
you my most recent work.
208
00:11:34,446 --> 00:11:38,547
I never imagined a mathematician
of your stature would actually
209
00:11:38,548 --> 00:11:41,463
put your mind to it
before I even arrived.
210
00:11:41,464 --> 00:11:43,898
Hilbert: I've spent the last
two days puzzling over it.
211
00:11:43,899 --> 00:11:46,238
Albert: I've lost the last
few years of my life trying
212
00:11:46,239 --> 00:11:48,000
to complete the damn thing.
213
00:11:48,001 --> 00:11:51,365
I'm overjoyed that you're
willing to assist me.
214
00:11:51,366 --> 00:11:52,583
Hilbert: Assist you?
215
00:11:52,584 --> 00:11:55,019
Well, that would be fun, but
that would take far too long.
216
00:11:55,020 --> 00:11:59,056
No, no, I can solve it much
more quickly on my own.
217
00:11:59,057 --> 00:12:00,691
Albert: On your own?
218
00:12:00,692 --> 00:12:02,710
Hilbert: Professor Einstein,
physics is far too complicated
219
00:12:02,711 --> 00:12:05,662
to be left to physicists.
220
00:12:07,358 --> 00:12:08,543
Planck: Albert, what
are you so upset about?
221
00:12:08,544 --> 00:12:10,209
Albert: He's going
to finish it first!
222
00:12:10,210 --> 00:12:13,675
Planck: Well consider
yourself lucky.
223
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,587
It's not every day one of the
greatest mathematicians in
224
00:12:16,588 --> 00:12:19,823
the world decides to take up
the cause of a physicist.
225
00:12:19,824 --> 00:12:22,387
Sit down, Albert, please.
226
00:12:22,388 --> 00:12:25,496
Albert: Relativity is the
greatest idea I have ever had.
227
00:12:25,497 --> 00:12:27,899
Is it so wrong that
I want to bring it
228
00:12:27,900 --> 00:12:30,467
to completion on my own?
229
00:12:31,457 --> 00:12:33,348
Planck: Albert, are you really
going to start a public pissing
230
00:12:33,349 --> 00:12:38,474
contest over academic credit
when our boys, my sons,
231
00:12:38,475 --> 00:12:42,357
are out the there
fighting an actual war?
232
00:12:42,867 --> 00:12:46,006
Besides, Hilbert is a
top-rate mathematician.
233
00:12:46,007 --> 00:12:48,249
You'd be foolish to
try to match his pace.
234
00:12:48,250 --> 00:12:51,903
Albert: Max, this is all I have.
235
00:12:51,904 --> 00:12:55,625
Planck: Life is more
than work, Albert.
236
00:12:57,801 --> 00:13:02,161
Albert: I am about to
embark on a great folly.
237
00:13:03,056 --> 00:13:05,014
This will be the first
of four lectures.
238
00:13:08,536 --> 00:13:12,000
I will certainly be dubbed mad,
239
00:13:13,889 --> 00:13:17,637
but by the last lecture,
I will either have tamed
240
00:13:17,638 --> 00:13:23,473
this beast or will
have been trampled by it.

[Inaudible mumbling].
242
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,915
The Lagrangian must be
constructed in such
243
00:13:43,916 --> 00:13:47,861
a way as to respect the
transformations we saw.
244
00:13:48,819 --> 00:13:51,190
Hilbert: Now we can attempt
to construct various
245
00:13:51,191 --> 00:13:53,626
field equations,
analogous to what Maxwell
246
00:13:53,627 --> 00:13:55,969
wrote on electromagnetism.
247
00:13:56,959 --> 00:14:00,195
Albert: This equation works
for planetary orbits
248
00:14:00,196 --> 00:14:02,760
that never shift.
249
00:14:02,761 --> 00:14:06,637
But here the constant shift
in mercury's orbit due to
250
00:14:06,638 --> 00:14:10,518
the constant gravitational
pull of the sun should.

By forcing air over the
iron and potassium hydroxide
268

promoter at such intense
pressure, the hydrogen from
269

natural gasses combines with
nitrogen from the air, producing

Bosch: Blow up a small town?
276
00:16:06,944 --> 00:16:08,577
The pressure you would need
to produce ammonia in large
277
00:16:08,578 --> 00:16:11,045
quantities would explode
any reactor on earth.
278

Executive: Were you going to inform
us of this risk, Herr Haber?
279
00:16:13,580 --> 00:16:17,550
Haber: We can build
a new reactor.
280
00:16:17,551 --> 00:16:20,050
Bigger, stronger.
281
00:16:20,051 --> 00:16:23,031
Of course, it will take
money, quite a lot of it.

Gentlemen, Germany will go
hungry without fertilizer.
283
00:16:26,204 --> 00:16:30,017
And, I do understand the
difficulty of industrializing

00:16:30,018 --> 00:16:31,490
such a process.
285
00:16:31,491 --> 00:16:34,279
But what's in this beaker is
already most of the way toward

a feat no one thought possible.
287
00:16:35,690 --> 00:16:39,342
I have devised a way to pull
nitrogen out of thin air.
288
00:16:39,343 --> 00:16:43,252

to be had in feeding the world.

Elsa: You need rest.

breakthrough today, Elsa.
300
00:17:11,103 --> 00:17:13,857
Elsa: Michele wrote
to you five times.
301
00:17:13,858 --> 00:17:16,034
You'd know if you didn't
disappear under a rock when
302
00:17:16,035 --> 00:17:17,928
you throw yourself into work.

She's been suffering
from heart troubles and
308
00:17:26,583 --> 00:17:27,856

She does this.

00:17:37,535 --> 00:17:39,073

to Michele at once.

good luck with it.

it's only just begun.
527
00:33:02,401 --> 00:33:05,257
Paperboy: Troops to return home!
528
00:33:05,414 --> 00:33:07,207
Armistice signed!
529
00:33:07,208 --> 00:33:09,167
The war is over!
530
00:33:19,837 --> 00:33:22,051
Man: Please, spare some coin?
531
00:33:27,047 --> 00:33:29,034
Elsa: Albert, there's
a telegram for you.
532
00:33:29,035 --> 00:33:31,502
Einstein: Britain,
the United States, Russia,
533
00:33:31,503 --> 00:33:34,194
they all want reparations.
534
00:33:34,195 --> 00:33:38,168
France is threatening to occupy
the Ruhr if we don't pay.
535
00:33:38,169 --> 00:33:40,251
Forgiveness never comes cheap.
536
00:33:40,252 --> 00:33:43,364
Elsa: It's from
Arthur Eddington.
537
00:33:49,323 --> 00:33:50,604
What is it?
538
00:33:50,605 --> 00:33:52,976
Einstein: A silver
lining, it seems.
539
00:33:52,977 --> 00:33:55,604
"U-boats no longer threat, stop.
540
00:33:55,605 --> 00:33:59,354
Will sail to Africa, will
photograph eclipse, stop."
541
00:33:59,355 --> 00:34:00,860
Elsa: Albert, that's
wonderful news.
542
00:34:00,861 --> 00:34:04,998
Einstein: "Relativity
proof imminent, stop."
543
00:34:05,508 --> 00:34:07,943
I cannot wait to read that
in the scientific journals,
544
00:34:07,944 --> 00:34:11,216
hopefully with a
little more flair.
545
00:34:15,027 --> 00:34:16,180
What is it?
546
00:34:16,181 --> 00:34:18,455
Elsa: You can forget about
the journals, Albert.
547
00:34:18,456 --> 00:34:21,788
When you're proved right, your
name is going be printed in
548
00:34:21,789 --> 00:34:24,097
every newspaper around
the entire globe.
549
00:34:24,098 --> 00:34:25,186
You'll be famous.
550
00:34:25,187 --> 00:34:26,180
Einstein: Don't be silly.
551
00:34:26,181 --> 00:34:27,302
I'm a scientist.
552
00:34:27,303 --> 00:34:28,519
Elsa: They'll want interviews.
553
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,602
They'll want to know
all about your life.
554
00:34:30,603 --> 00:34:33,583
Your family, me.
555
00:34:33,584 --> 00:34:35,506
Einstein: We'll tell them
you are my social secretary.
556
00:34:35,507 --> 00:34:37,462
Elsa: It took the neighbors
a couple of months.
557
00:34:37,463 --> 00:34:39,994
Imagine the journalists
clambering for a story,
558
00:34:39,995 --> 00:34:43,615
how long until they discover
that you are living in sin,
559
00:34:43,616 --> 00:34:46,307
with a divorcée,
who is your first cousin?
560
00:34:46,308 --> 00:34:47,717
Einstein: Who cares
what they think.
561
00:34:47,718 --> 00:34:49,997
Elsa: I care.
562
00:34:51,629 --> 00:34:53,743
Einstein: Elsa, I've asked
Mileva for a divorce
563
00:34:53,744 --> 00:34:55,506
in every way imaginable.
564
00:34:55,507 --> 00:34:58,006
Elsa: Then you
must ask her again.
565
00:34:58,007 --> 00:34:59,641
Make her an offer of some kind.
566
00:34:59,642 --> 00:35:01,627
Einstein: We don't have any
more Deutschmarks to give!
567
00:35:01,628 --> 00:35:02,621
Elsa: Fritz does.
568
00:35:02,622 --> 00:35:04,095
He would lend to you.
569
00:35:04,096 --> 00:35:06,106
Einstein: I cannot take blood
money from that warmonger.
570
00:35:06,107 --> 00:35:08,230
Elsa: Well you had better
think of something.
571
00:35:08,231 --> 00:35:11,211
Because it's one thing for me to
withstand the shaming stares
572
00:35:11,212 --> 00:35:12,685
of our neighbors.
573
00:35:12,686 --> 00:35:14,191
But you cannot
expect me to do that
574
00:35:14,192 --> 00:35:15,766
in front of the entire world.
575
00:35:18,872 --> 00:35:21,374
Einstein: I need the divorce.
576
00:35:21,949 --> 00:35:23,550
Mileva: Are you asking me?
577
00:35:23,551 --> 00:35:25,990
Or is it Elsa?
578
00:35:28,134 --> 00:35:30,858
Einstein: I'm sorry I could
not be what you needed, Mileva.
579
00:35:30,859 --> 00:35:33,421
Mileva: What about
Hans and Eduard?
580
00:35:33,422 --> 00:35:35,313
All they needed was
a reliable father.
581
00:35:35,314 --> 00:35:37,941
Einstein: You took
them away from me.
582
00:35:37,942 --> 00:35:40,605
I didn't.
583
00:35:41,851 --> 00:35:45,024
A British astronomer is heading
for Africa in a few months time
584
00:35:45,025 --> 00:35:48,645
to capture the solar eclipse.
585
00:35:48,646 --> 00:35:50,408
The first one in years.
586
00:35:50,409 --> 00:35:51,755
Mileva: You're sure
you're right this time?
587
00:35:51,756 --> 00:35:53,485
Your equations are co-variant?
588
00:35:53,486 --> 00:35:54,606
Einstein: Yes.
589
00:35:54,607 --> 00:35:56,210
They will define the
general relativity
590
00:35:56,211 --> 00:35:58,809
of all forms of motion.
591
00:35:59,544 --> 00:36:02,202
Mileva: It's an
extraordinary achievement.
592
00:36:02,203 --> 00:36:03,998
Einstein: And you were
there to help me at
593
00:36:03,999 --> 00:36:06,305
the beginning of it all.
594
00:36:06,306 --> 00:36:07,876
I will never forget that.
595
00:36:07,877 --> 00:36:11,561
Mileva: Ah, recognition from the
greatest scientist in the world.
596
00:36:11,562 --> 00:36:12,555
At last.
597
00:36:12,556 --> 00:36:14,285
My career is complete.
598
00:36:14,286 --> 00:36:18,104
Einstein: There's already
much discussion of a Nobel.
599
00:36:19,030 --> 00:36:21,658
You know, it comes with a
great deal of prize money.
600
00:36:21,659 --> 00:36:23,677
I want you to have it.
601
00:36:23,678 --> 00:36:24,766
All of it.
602
00:36:24,767 --> 00:36:27,458
Mileva: You want to
pay me for a divorce.
603
00:36:27,459 --> 00:36:29,446
Einstein: You deserve to
be taken care of, Dollie.
604
00:36:29,447 --> 00:36:30,695
Mileva: Do not call me that.
605
00:36:30,696 --> 00:36:32,618
Einstein: I'm offering you
more money than either of us
606
00:36:32,619 --> 00:36:33,836
has ever seen, Mileva.
607
00:36:33,837 --> 00:36:34,831
You need this.
608
00:36:34,832 --> 00:36:36,304
Don't be proud.
609
00:36:36,305 --> 00:36:37,266
Mileva: Get out.
610
00:36:37,267 --> 00:36:38,900
Einstein: If not for
you, do it for the boys.
611
00:36:38,901 --> 00:36:41,821
Mileva: I said get out!
612
00:36:52,235 --> 00:36:56,308
Einstein: What more
do you want from me?
613
00:37:12,523 --> 00:37:15,246
Hans: Why are you doing
this to yourself, mother?
614
00:37:15,247 --> 00:37:16,752
He obviously wants
nothing to do with us.
615
00:37:16,753 --> 00:37:20,410
He hasn't since he left
me sitting on that step.
616
00:37:21,337 --> 00:37:23,290
Just give him what he wants.
617
00:37:23,291 --> 00:37:25,791
He'll be out of our lives
and we can all move forward,
618
00:37:25,792 --> 00:37:28,134
once and for all.
619
00:37:50,662 --> 00:37:52,937
Elsa: Well?
620
00:37:52,938 --> 00:37:55,953
Einstein: She finally agreed.
621
00:37:57,681 --> 00:38:01,498
But it comes with
a terrible price.
622
00:38:09,187 --> 00:38:12,263
Magistrate: State the
reason for your divorce.
623
00:38:12,264 --> 00:38:14,828
Einstein: Adultery,
Herr Richter.
624
00:38:14,829 --> 00:38:16,718
Magistrate: And who
is the guilty party?
625
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:18,898
Einstein: I am, Herr Richter.
626
00:38:18,899 --> 00:38:23,128
I have been living with Elsa
Einstein, divorced löwenthal,
627
00:38:23,129 --> 00:38:27,616
for approximately four years,
and have had continued
628
00:38:27,617 --> 00:38:30,761
intimate relations with her.
629
00:38:31,142 --> 00:38:32,359
Magistrate: Did you bring proof?
630
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,212
Albert: She's the woman sitting
behind me, Herr Richter.
631
00:38:35,213 --> 00:38:38,228
Magistrate: Well please indicate
to the court, where she is.
632
00:38:45,533 --> 00:38:49,702
Is this true, madam?
633
00:38:50,180 --> 00:38:51,846
Elsa: Yes, Herr Richter.
634
00:38:51,847 --> 00:38:53,416
Magistrate: The provisions of
the divorce state that
635
00:38:53,417 --> 00:38:56,428
Mileva Maric, married
Einstein, will receive
636
00:38:56,429 --> 00:38:59,826
an annual stipend
of 9,000 Deutschmarks.
637
00:38:59,827 --> 00:39:03,063
Adding to this, Professor
Einstein promises her the full
638
00:39:03,064 --> 00:39:06,208
proceeds of a Nobel prize,
should he be awarded it.
639
00:39:09,635 --> 00:39:11,107
Very well.
640
00:39:11,108 --> 00:39:12,550
On to the children.
641
00:39:12,551 --> 00:39:16,171
Mileva Maric is to retain full
custody in Zürich, and the boys
642
00:39:16,172 --> 00:39:21,175
shall not be permitted to
visit their father in Berlin.
643
00:39:25,948 --> 00:39:28,003
Professor, do you object?
644
00:39:40,692 --> 00:39:43,771
Einstein: No, I do not object.
645
00:39:47,389 --> 00:39:50,149
Photographers: Dr and
Mrs Einstein, over here!
646
00:39:52,710 --> 00:39:54,792
Reporter: Dr Einstein,
Dr Einstein!
647
00:39:54,793 --> 00:39:56,748
What did you do when
you heard that Mr Eddington
648
00:39:56,749 --> 00:39:57,902
had proved your theory correct?
649
00:39:57,903 --> 00:40:00,017
Einstein: Well, I
went back to work.
650
00:40:00,018 --> 00:40:02,585
And I bought myself
a new violin.
651
00:40:04,248 --> 00:40:06,875
Reporter: Mr Eddington, what
did your pictures prove exactly?
652
00:40:06,876 --> 00:40:10,369
Eddington: That gravity bends
light passing next to the sun by
653
00:40:10,370 --> 00:40:14,411
approximately 1.7 arc seconds,
just as Einstein predicted.
654
00:40:15,626 --> 00:40:17,260
Reporter 2: Meaning what?
655
00:40:17,261 --> 00:40:19,600
Eddington: Meaning, gentlemen,
that the greatest of all
656
00:40:19,601 --> 00:40:24,055
scientific generalizations, the
laws of sir Isaac Newton,
657
00:40:24,056 --> 00:40:26,362
have just received their
first major modification
658
00:40:26,363 --> 00:40:28,189
in over two centuries.
659
00:40:28,190 --> 00:40:31,330
We are all witness to one of the
most resplendent achievements
660
00:40:31,331 --> 00:40:34,635
of human thought
in our lifetime.
661
00:40:35,145 --> 00:40:37,648
Write that down.
662
00:40:38,094 --> 00:40:39,471
Lenard: Relativity is a hoax.
663
00:40:39,472 --> 00:40:43,353
Arrhenius: Doctor Lenard, it was
just proven by Arthur Eddington.
664
00:40:44,151 --> 00:40:46,586
Lenard: What happens at the next
eclipse, when the results vary?
665
00:40:46,587 --> 00:40:48,220
You will look like fools.
666
00:40:48,221 --> 00:40:51,298
Our discoveries changed
science because they were
667
00:40:51,299 --> 00:40:52,804
grounded in facts.
668
00:40:52,805 --> 00:40:55,912
They weren't philosophical
conjectures cloaked in
669
00:40:55,913 --> 00:40:58,448
equations designed to deceive.
670
00:40:59,375 --> 00:41:01,906
As the Nobel selection
committee, it is your duty
671
00:41:01,907 --> 00:41:04,025
to know the difference.
672
00:41:06,106 --> 00:41:09,726
Einstein: They're
giving it to Max Planck.
673
00:41:09,727 --> 00:41:11,169
Elsa: Well, you always
said it was a shame how the
674
00:41:11,170 --> 00:41:13,861
Nobel committee overlooked
him all these years.
675
00:41:13,862 --> 00:41:15,784
Einstein: They're
giving it to Fritz, too.
676
00:41:15,785 --> 00:41:18,320
In chemistry.
677
00:41:18,574 --> 00:41:21,910
For his nitrogen trick.
678
00:41:23,253 --> 00:41:26,717
Elsa: Quite a year for
the Prussian Academy.
679
00:41:27,355 --> 00:41:31,361
Well, I'm sure a lovely
celebration will be in order.
680
00:41:31,362 --> 00:41:33,507
Einstein: I'm not going
if Fritz is to be honored.
681
00:41:33,508 --> 00:41:36,552
Elsa: Albert, if you insist
on condemning a man for his
682
00:41:36,553 --> 00:41:39,793
mistakes you must be willing to
applaud him for his triumphs.
683
00:41:40,399 --> 00:41:41,777
Fritz didn't start the war.
684
00:41:41,778 --> 00:41:43,828
Einstein: He's responsible
for thousands of deaths.
685
00:41:43,829 --> 00:41:47,097
Elsa: He also saved half
of Europe from starvation.
686
00:41:47,098 --> 00:41:48,603
Doesn't that mean something?
687
00:41:48,604 --> 00:41:50,303
Einstein: I cannot
congratulate a killer and
688
00:41:50,304 --> 00:41:51,648
call myself a pacifist.
689
00:41:51,649 --> 00:41:54,854
Elsa: But if you insist that
the worst disputes between two
690
00:41:54,855 --> 00:41:57,995
warring nations can be
resolved, then can't two
691
00:41:57,996 --> 00:42:00,723
old friends make peace?
692
00:42:07,130 --> 00:42:08,828
Planck: Albert!
693
00:42:08,829 --> 00:42:10,910
Einstein: What can
I say, old friend?
694
00:42:10,911 --> 00:42:13,346
It's about time
they honored you.
695
00:42:13,347 --> 00:42:16,587
How many years has it been since
you discovered light quanta?
696
00:42:17,066 --> 00:42:19,597
Planck: About 3,000.
697
00:42:19,598 --> 00:42:22,961
Einstein: Truly,
Max, congratulations.
698
00:42:22,962 --> 00:42:24,467
Planck: It should
have been yours.
699
00:42:24,468 --> 00:42:26,807
Einstein: Nonsense.
700
00:42:26,808 --> 00:42:29,023
You deserve it more than
any man in this room.
701
00:42:30,078 --> 00:42:32,064
Man: Excuse me, Dr Planck?
702
00:42:32,065 --> 00:42:35,625
Planck: We'll talk.
703
00:42:40,494 --> 00:42:46,490
♪
704
00:42:53,090 --> 00:42:54,435
Haber: Albert.
705
00:42:54,436 --> 00:42:59,050
Einstein: A Nobel in
chemistry, that is something.
706
00:42:59,051 --> 00:43:01,454
Haber: I'm not a genius
like you, Albert.
707
00:43:01,455 --> 00:43:04,275
All I did was see a problem
and find a way to fix it.
708
00:43:04,276 --> 00:43:05,941
That's what I try
to do, I suppose.
709
00:43:05,942 --> 00:43:07,030
Fix things.
710
00:43:07,031 --> 00:43:08,377
Einstein: Yes, of course.
711
00:43:08,378 --> 00:43:09,883
Or destroy them.
712
00:43:09,884 --> 00:43:11,454
Haber: That is entirely unfair.
713
00:43:11,455 --> 00:43:14,082
Einstein: Did you not invent a
new way to destroy human life?
714
00:43:14,083 --> 00:43:17,415
Haber: Yes, but that was
not my only innovation.
715
00:43:17,416 --> 00:43:20,556
I'm being honored tonight
for the good I've done.
716
00:43:20,557 --> 00:43:21,999
Einstein: Life
cannot be balanced
717
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,979
like an equation, Fritz.
718
00:43:24,980 --> 00:43:28,156
Good deeds do not
erase the evil ones.
719
00:43:29,659 --> 00:43:33,380
Haber: I certainly pray to God
you're wrong for once, Albert.
720
00:43:35,781 --> 00:43:38,028
Einstein: Perhaps I
have been too harsh.
721
00:43:40,204 --> 00:43:42,483
Haber: Perhaps you haven't.
722
00:43:44,242 --> 00:43:45,459
Einstein: I never
told you, Fritz,
723
00:43:45,460 --> 00:43:49,274
how sorry I was, about Clara.
724
00:43:49,275 --> 00:43:50,459
Haber: We couldn't
manage to hold on to the
725
00:43:50,460 --> 00:43:53,251
more brilliant ones, could we?
726
00:43:53,889 --> 00:43:57,931
Photographer: Gentlemen, smile!
727
00:43:58,890 --> 00:44:00,363
Lenard: He didn't even
win the Nobel and yet
728
00:44:00,364 --> 00:44:02,414
still he graces our front pages.
729
00:44:02,415 --> 00:44:03,760
And not only in Berlin.
730
00:44:03,761 --> 00:44:07,931
Frankfurt, Paris, London,
New York, Tokyo, I could go on.
731
00:44:09,562 --> 00:44:12,125
Weyland: All about
"general relativity," yes.
732
00:44:12,126 --> 00:44:13,952
Lenard: Relativity,
politics, his hair,
733
00:44:13,953 --> 00:44:15,875
what he ate for breakfast.
734
00:44:15,876 --> 00:44:17,125
It's despicable.
735
00:44:17,126 --> 00:44:19,177
Weyland: It's to be expected.
736
00:44:19,178 --> 00:44:20,458
He's a Jew.
737
00:44:20,459 --> 00:44:22,734
A publicity-seeking
Jew who uses his influence
738
00:44:22,735 --> 00:44:24,977
for his own profit.
739
00:44:24,978 --> 00:44:28,696
Lenard: Well now, Herr Weyland,
I didn't quite say all that.
740
00:44:28,697 --> 00:44:32,157
Weyland: You are standing in the
German national people's party
741
00:44:32,158 --> 00:44:35,426
headquarters, Dr
Lenard, we aren't afraid
742
00:44:35,427 --> 00:44:37,381
to speak the truth here.
743
00:44:37,382 --> 00:44:40,073
In fact, I imagine my
candor is the very reason
744
00:44:40,074 --> 00:44:41,263
you've come to see me.
745
00:44:43,023 --> 00:44:46,840
Now, please, what
can I do for you?
746
00:44:47,990 --> 00:44:50,714
Lenard: I have a proposition
to make, but one with which
747
00:44:50,715 --> 00:44:53,823
I cannot afford to be
publicly associated.
748
00:44:53,824 --> 00:44:56,899
Weyland: You can be
assured of my discretion.
749
00:44:56,900 --> 00:45:00,426
Lenard: I read your paper
denouncing relativity.
750
00:45:00,427 --> 00:45:03,250
I think you deserve
a wider audience.
751
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,957
Weyland: Albert Einstein has
engaged in a profit-grubbing
752
00:45:07,958 --> 00:45:10,585
promotion of his theory,
as our country suffers
753
00:45:10,586 --> 00:45:13,278
deprivation and indignity.
754
00:45:13,279 --> 00:45:15,457
And for what?
755
00:45:15,458 --> 00:45:19,719
For a lie, for a hoax.
756
00:45:19,720 --> 00:45:23,249
For a deception
unlike any other.
757
00:45:23,951 --> 00:45:27,187
Over the next two days, you
will hear from Germany's most
758
00:45:27,188 --> 00:45:30,200
preeminent scholars, who
will show you exactly how
759
00:45:30,201 --> 00:45:33,630
we've all been hoodwinked
by one enormous bluff.
760
00:45:33,631 --> 00:45:35,845
Einstein: Hear, hear!
761
00:45:38,149 --> 00:45:39,143
Oh, apologies.
762
00:45:39,144 --> 00:45:40,488
Continue, doctor Weyland.
763
00:45:40,489 --> 00:45:43,245
We all eagerly await
your scholarly proof.
764
00:45:43,246 --> 00:45:45,748
I'm sure it will be
very interesting.
765
00:45:46,483 --> 00:45:47,571
Elsa: What in God's
name were you thinking?!
766
00:45:47,572 --> 00:45:49,077
Einstein: It was a public
lecture and I was curious,
767
00:45:49,078 --> 00:45:50,456
so I went.
768
00:45:50,457 --> 00:45:52,700
I admit I didn't expect much,
but I also didn't expect it
769
00:45:52,701 --> 00:45:56,581
to be a packed house of
anti-Semitic imbeciles.
770
00:45:58,021 --> 00:45:59,302
Elsa: What are you doing?
771
00:45:59,303 --> 00:46:00,680
Einstein: Writing to the
Berliner Tageblatt to give
772
00:46:00,681 --> 00:46:02,378
my honest critique.
773
00:46:02,379 --> 00:46:03,692
Elsa: Albert, stop.
774
00:46:03,693 --> 00:46:05,712
You are sticking your
hand into a hornet's nest.
775
00:46:05,713 --> 00:46:07,892
These men are vindictive
and dangerous.
776
00:46:07,893 --> 00:46:09,878
Einstein: This world is
dangerous, Elsa, not because
777
00:46:09,879 --> 00:46:11,866
of those who do evil,
but because of those who
778
00:46:11,867 --> 00:46:14,590
look on and do nothing.
779
00:46:14,591 --> 00:46:16,352
I cannot do nothing.
780
00:46:16,353 --> 00:46:19,493
Lenard: "I admire Lenard as a
master of experimental physics.
781
00:46:19,494 --> 00:46:21,833
But he has not yet produced
anything outstanding
782
00:46:21,834 --> 00:46:23,564
in theoretical physics."
783
00:46:23,565 --> 00:46:25,967
Katharina: He wrote that?
784
00:46:25,968 --> 00:46:28,372
Lenard: On the front
of the damn newspaper!
785
00:46:28,373 --> 00:46:31,705
Jewish publishers, of course.
786
00:46:31,706 --> 00:46:34,878
"Lenard's objections to the
general theory of relativity
787
00:46:34,879 --> 00:46:37,602
are of such superficiality
that, up until now,
788
00:46:37,603 --> 00:46:40,423
I did not think it
necessary to answer them.
789
00:46:40,424 --> 00:46:43,214
I intend to make up for this."
790
00:46:46,289 --> 00:46:49,204
It's an affront!
791
00:46:49,205 --> 00:46:50,175
I will not stand for it!
792
00:46:50,176 --> 00:46:52,153
Katharina: Why would he assume
that you had anything to do
793
00:46:52,154 --> 00:46:53,628
with that lecture series?
794
00:46:53,629 --> 00:46:56,223
You did not even attend!
795
00:46:56,224 --> 00:46:59,716
Lenard: That huckster Weyland
listed me as a coming
796
00:46:59,717 --> 00:47:01,224
lecturer in the program.
797
00:47:01,225 --> 00:47:05,426
No doubt trying to add
my prestige to his cause.
798
00:47:07,699 --> 00:47:09,268
But it doesn't matter,
799
00:47:09,269 --> 00:47:13,471
Einstein obviously desires
a public battle,
800
00:47:15,134 --> 00:47:17,701
perhaps it's time I
enlisted some public allies.
801
00:47:21,875 --> 00:47:28,975
