"Rotterdam" "Boarding the ship"

We pass, we pass ...

Next. Give me your passport.

Bon voyage, Herr van Louven.

Your passport.

Boarding pass.

Thank you.

Josef?

Yes, this is certainly not a palace,

but we're all here for several days.

Max van Louven

Josef?

Do you recognize him?

Have you decided to leave yours elegant mustache in Austria?

I need to get used to this. But it suits you.

And this scar, right there over the right eyebrow.

Also something new. It was not there before.

With him you are now looks like a gangster.

Were you beaten there?

I am glad that we are together again.

Oh! I'm sorry sir.

Would you like me to make another tablecloth?

That is unnecessary.

Whatever you like, madam.

I refreshed my English a little.

Vine ... four brads ...

end ... uh ...

tu pies of butter.

From hunger now for sure we will not die.

Let's raise our glasses.

For our new life.

Angey. Cheers.

I will buy you a new watch in New York City.

Everything will be like before the war I promise.

How was it?

How was what?

How was it before the war?

It's just amazing.

It's just amazing.

- Good morning! - Good.

- Thank you. - All the best.

Oh ...

Well, it's a day today.

Vienna News

Say no to the alliance with the Hitlerite Germany in a referendum. "

Yes, I'm listening!

I think I told you clearly that the owner is not and will not be today.

Okay. Certainly. Yes, I'll hand it over to him.

And all the best to you!

You are again asked for the phone.

And we think we rest in God all the crowd of the world.

- Old Goethe was right. - As soon as your head does not burst

from smart books. I think you read too much.

Without this food for my mind, I will die from hunger, dear Clara.

Thank you.

Take Sunday off. The rest also applies.

Go to a referendum, vote. We don't want to become Germans, do we?

God forbid. True, my cousin says

- that there are no unemployed in Germany. - Yes? But the Jews do not know

- where to go from the pogroms. - It's horrible.

- I agree. - I'll tell everyone.

And what to say to those who is calling?

Say that ... uh ...

that I went to bed with the flu. Sounds believable?

With a very contagious.

Expensive!

New production of "Swan Lake" in the opera is magnificent.

"Insanely touching," writes one of the critics.

For a person with the flu you're surprisingly cheerful.

And all thanks to the good medicine.

Your medicine will turn into poison if you don't get up now.

- Josef ... - Mm.

Get up, it's time to get ready.

Where are we in a hurry? That's the question.

Can't you come on time at least once?

In Hungary, my parents said punctuality

- only kills all the pleasure. - Oh, these Hungarians for me ...

Which? These? Or these?

Your beauty overshadows any.

There are more of them than usual.

Such an impression that the whole world has gone crazy.

The madness will end on Sunday.

Are you getting too hungry ?! Skin from you rip off alive, bastards! I hate it!

Are you a clairvoyant?

No, but I every day I read the newspapers carefully.

"Down with world capital!"

"Death to the Jews!"

Scoundrels.

It's good at least that your father did not live and does not see it.

Who is hungry looking for the guilty.

Hopefully the newspapers are right.

Get your paws off you bastards! Hands off, I said!

Almost arrived.

Yes!

You know what I was thinking Darling?

While Vienna is dancing this world will not collapse.

This is not a joke to you, gentlemen.

And here's another anecdote. I also remembered anecdote.

- Joseph Goebbels ... - Stop it,

- we will die laughing! - And yet, Joseph Goebbels

delivers a speech at the convention his party.

"The German people are like the German an eagle on our coat of arms!

His head is our Fuhrer!

His right wing is our SS!

His left wing is our SD! "

Suddenly from the back rows rises the most ordinary worker

"And you, I must think, his anus? "

What's the matter, Master Svoboda? Forgot your sense of humor in Germany?

I forbid myself to laugh when my fatherland is bad.

Freedom, don't be so serious. Laughter is good for your health.

Yes, it's true, believe me. Good old doctor Freud

long ago and with all credibility proved the benefits of humor.

- Yes sir. - Vienna survived the Turks,

- so it will outlive the Germans. - Right.

I'm sorry.

- Liberty! Liberty! - Here's your coffee.

"At the entrance. Now. GS"

Gustav!

Who are you? The damn Chinese emperor?

- I just decided to unwind a little. - I chose the wrong day.

- Were you being followed? - Did you follow? Yes!

One funny little man with a mustache. Like that.

Joseph, stop it!

Spare me the jokes.

There will be no referendum, but the troops will enter the city today.

What?

“The ministry is in complete chaos. - Are you sure?

- The newspapers write something completely different. - You may doubt that

that the world will be indifferent to watch our doom?

But England and France are already following your example.

They just don't fit to the phone!

Take Anna and flee the country.

- Oh, come on! - And it's urgent.

You don't want to be arrested, do you?

What kind of arrest?

- Where did they get their information? - I do not know this.

But one thing I'm sure -

their spies are everywhere in the city.

And they seem to be fine aware of what you are doing.

And what does it mean?

What they want to knock out of you all the information they need.

You have a couple of hours. At 12 there is a train to Rotterdam,

and from there - a motor ship to New York.

- Clear? - Well I do not know.

Josef, agree.

Agree!

Well look.

Gustav!

Please don't be mad at me. I understand you wish me well, but ...

I think I'll go back to the hall now, I will dance with Anna

we'll go home, have some champagne, and quietly finish this wonderful evening.

I'm sure it's not so scary.

They must follow our laws.

Laws?

They beat people to death for the sake of information.

They hang them on meat hooks!

You know, skull I have a strong one.

You still think that this is just a game, right?

Only the most necessary. And take the cash

you know the combination from the safe. And from jewelry - only that

- what can be sold. - Sell? Why sell?

In case our accounts will be frozen.

Some kind of madness. Why do they need an ordinary notary?

Look in the eyes.

I'll explain everything to you. But not now.

Well that's it. Wait for me at the station.

- And you, Max, please. - You can rely on me.

If I don't show up before midnight

get on the train without me.

Hate you.

We're interrupting the line. broadcast from the Vienna Opera,

to send an urgent appeal Chancellor Schuschnigg.

Dear fellow Austrians!

Today we are all together hit extremely difficult

and the dangerous situation.

Adolf Hitler and the government German Reich

gave Austria an ultimatum with strict time frames,

according to which until the end we owe this day

approve the proposed us Germany a candidacy

from the National Socialist party for the post of new chancellor.

In case of disobedience German troops on the same night

will cross the border with Austria, thereby starting a war of conquest.

In addition, referring to the world community, I officially declare

last days news about that the Austrian government allegedly

abandoned several regions of the country

and no longer controls them, completely fabricated

and are the result of a purposeful German propaganda!

On behalf of the President of the Federation

I am authorized to announce to the Austrian people,

that at this fateful hour we give in to aggression

for a single purpose -

prevent war and senseless bloodshed.

Austrian army already sent

order to leave occupied positions,

retreat without rendering resistance to the enemy,

and completely submit to the German Wehrmacht.

And now I have to say goodbye with the Austrian people

with one thought in my head and one wish in my heart -

... God save Austria!

Complete silence!

Put out the fire!

Let's take all that is left from documents!

What, it's scary to jump Mr. lawyer?

Who you are?

What do you want from me?

What goal do you want to achieve this stupid kidnapping?

Hey Mani, open it a little window, let in fresh air,

otherwise this sissy faints will fall.

And I would advise you relax and enjoy the ride.

Every day you have to drive a car nobody will.

Have you arrived at the Metropol?

All the best for our guests.

Yes, who would have thought.

- We also have a taste. - Let go! I can go out myself!

- Please follow me. - Do not touch me!

You have no right put me out on the street!

Mum!

Mum!

Your personal belongings will remain in our custody.

And the clock too.

Can it be faster?

And the ring there too. Thank you.

Vienna Gestapo headquarters.

Fingerprints.

And what is your face so unhappy?

- Oh, who do I see. - And who recently spoke about the benefits of laughter?

The mask falls off - a person appears.

Although in your case I'm in this not sure.

Let's see what remains of you when we are done with you,

Herr Notary.

Doctor! Are you here too?

How could I miss such a sumptuous dinner party?

- Have you heard the anecdote? - Which?

Why German dentists

- now the teeth are removed through the nose? - Why?

Because you need a mouth keep it shut!

"Odyssey Homer"

You're playing?

- I'm sorry, what? - Play chess. You're playing?

A!

We crowns prefer music good literature,

beautiful women, delicious meals.

Chess, rather,

pastime for the bored Prussian generals.

HM. In you crowns, unique charm and arrogance are combined.

I love your city.

Do you know why I love chess?

The most important thing in this game is suppress your opponent's ego.

- Do you drink scotch? - If he's good.

Everything in this hotel the highest quality.

Thank you for accepting mine must admit,

quite intrusive invitation.

- Glad to please. - HM.

- How can I help, Herr ...? - Boehm.

Franz Josef Boehm. Secret military police.

Mm.

Do you have any suggestions, why was I in such a hurry

- to get to know you personally? - No, not a single one.

But I'm a notary. Perhaps I should attest

your takeover of the hotel.

There is no need for that.

Rosentali was kindly provided to our disposition of this whole building.

Help yourself.

Your favorite brand. I'm not wrong?

I must admit what are your cheap tricks

start me a little tire.

Your secretary, Herr Leitner, was so kind

- what he told about your habits. - Ah, Herr Leitner.

- Yes. - I fired him, already four months ago.

In fact, he turned out to be unreliable assistant.

Marvelous.

But he is very reliable for us informed.

On secret activities your office.

About those huge amounts of money the old Austrian aristocracy,

which you, and before you your late father, secretly ruled.

This is ... crazy.

Madness, yes.

From today all these funds are property

- the Great German Reich. - O.

And your duty as a new citizen of this reich, tell me

Where are they located.

I do not understand about what means We talk.

What a pity.

And I was so hoping that you spare us

from the need to sort out burnt documents

which were found in your office.

It's even a pity that I can't do anything can I help you.

Don't you need me anymore? I can go?

Well, of course.

I love The Imperial Waltz.

Tell me did you know it was glorious the author dedicated the work

- Austrian-Prussian friendship? - Did not know.

Our friendship, one might say.

- We are not friends. - I know, I know.

- But we will become them. - Mm.

Well...

Dr. Bartok is our special special guest.

I almost elected myself feel.

Welcome to Metropol, herr doctor.

I wish you pleasant stay.

Dr. Bartok Josef ...

- Ready? - Take him to room 402.

What's happened?

Nothing.

I had a bad dream.

And no wonder.

Lie down. Maybe you'll fall asleep again.

I want to forget everything but it doesn’t come out.

Over time, it will become easier for you.

Yes, probably.

You, most importantly, know:

no one else can interfere us to be happy again.

Nobody else.

I was told that in America it's not that important

who you were

and who you are now.

Much more important Who do you want to be.

Well?

What do you want to be there?

Mm?

How can I know this, Anna?

I don't even remember who was before.

Good evening.

I'd like Scotch tape.

Maybe there is another?

Of course I have.

We have over twenty brands in assortment.

Any specific one for you?

- Sir? - Uh ... no, and this one will do.

Bartok. Hello?

Can anyone hear me?

Open the door now! Open up!

Anyone!

How long can I sit here?

Muse, tell me experienced husband who ...

wandering long since the day how Saint Ilion was destroyed by him,

visited many people of the city, and the customs have seen,

I grieved a lot with my heart on the seas, caring about salvation.

Good afternoon.

Greetings young man! How are you doing? I'm fine.

What's for lunch?

Let me guess myself. Soup? It must be soup.

I'm right?

It gets a little stuffy.

As if summer had already arrived.

Tell me at least what your name is. Erich, maybe?

Would be very suitable for you name Erich.

Is your name Erich? A?

Erich tell me you have one for me no newspaper?

Or what book?

At least something! I agree to everything!

You can certainly

arrange it, Erich.

Erich?

Are you satisfied with your service?

Thanks for asking.

I would never leave here,

the service here is truly first class.

I'm glad you haven't lost presence of mind.

A cigarette? Have you accumulated a lot?

Did you have a good rest?

Have you thought a lot?

Nothing distracted.

- Wonderful. - Uh-huh.

Then let's get to work.

Over the past time, we are more attentive studied the documentation

from your office and found out that the funds entrusted to you

are now kept in numbered accounts

- in several European banks. - Very interesting.

I agree. The trouble is what are the numbers of these accounts

and access codes to them unfortunately have been lost.

They burned out in the fireplace almost fully.

In this case, for you money is lost forever.

Quite right.

Except that...

the access codes are stored here.

This is completely absurd.

I don't understand, Herr Doctor.

This is not your money. Do you really think

that those for whom you sacrifice yourself, will do the same for you?

Suppose for a minute, that the accounts do exist,

and I learned the codes by heart.

I think so there is enough money

so that we both become very rich people.

What are you getting at?

- I'm trying to come to a consensus. - Offer me a deal?

- My words can be understood anyway. - Could be so.

But it seems to me that you believe that a German officer can be bribed.

But I didn't mean nothing like this.

That's good.

Let's go.

You will write down all the codes. And when you're done

we go together into one from Viennese cafes,

let's have a cup of coffee with milk.

And then I'll personally give you a ride take you home.

And I promise you this confinement

it will immediately appear just a passing vision.

I ask you to.

Now about the wooden horse,

wondrous epeos with the help of the maiden Pallas creation, sing to us,

how to the city he was cunning introduced by Odysseus,

full of leaders, in the end Saint Ilion who have crushed.

Nothing paints a man better than his all-round education.

Very pleased to hear from you.

Will you beat me to death?

We don't die so easily.

Do you know why I kept on be silent?

I understood that they would leave me alive only as long as

until they squeeze out of me all the information you need!

Because they are cannibals. Cannibals.

They got their hands on the best hotel in the city.

Their costumes are custom made.

They have brass buttons on their uniforms.

Yes splurge they learned

but I still saw right through them, believe me. I saw right through!

Their morals ...

Their morals are rude and disgusting. Their goal is destruction.

Their methods are violent.

So let's drink to the return Odyssey!

For his prosperous return.

Does anyone want with me go nuts?

I have to ask you to leave, when you finish this glass.

Your behavior is causing anxiety.

- Indeed? - Mr. Apothecary!

Two doses of something for pain memories.

- Jin? - Yes. - Now.

Donate a boat to checkmate in ten moves,

it's somehow ... somehow even obscene.

He plays chess like an automaton.

- Who plays there? - Yes, the whole ship.

Against the famous grandmaster.

It seems to need to be moved pawn forward.

Yes. Okay.

I think you need ... There are simply no other options.

- And you? - I would consider the option with a pawn.

Mm ... I don't know.

Trust me this is the only way out out of this situation.

I have analyzed all the options.

Well ... uh ...

Not! Do not! No no!

Do not do this! He has set a trap for you!

If you queen a pawn, then he will move his bishop to c1.

And you will answer him with a horse. But then...

... he will advance the pawn to d7, threatening your boat.

And even if you check after that, if you move your knight to e2, you will lose.

Conduct someone this gentleman to the exit.

If you remember the number your cabin!

The combination is almost exactly like Alekhine

- with Bogolyubov in the 22nd year. - Wait a minute!

What did you say there?

It is a trap.

If you go pawn,

he will take your rook,

and you will lose.

And what am I then, in your opinion, have to do?

You should go on the defensive. Don't move forward.

Avoid his attacks. And most importantly,

take the king out from under the blow. From g8 to h7.

He will translate the attack to the opposite flank,

but you parry it with your rook from c8 to c4.

It will take two moves

he will lose a pawn and your advantage.

Your passed pawn will remain against his pawn.

And this is already a draw. Nothing else can be done here.

I didn't understand a word from his speech, but he spoke confidently,

like a real professional!

Maybe someone has others suggestions?

Well, OK. What's the difference how to lose?

King from g8 to h7?

G8 - h7.

Gentlemen, gentlemen, please.

Did he agree to a draw?

We forced the world champion himself agree to a draw ?!

Champagne for all guests! I am treating you!

And here is our hero.

The man who managed to overcome world chess champion!

And we are looking for you everywhere and we are waiting.

“I didn't beat him. Draw! - Why are you being shy?

Let's go to the hall let's celebrate your victory.

Owen McConor. I am the owner of this steel gondola.

- How about you? - Max van Louven.

Your health, Max.

You know, I read somewhere, that chess is a game

which is 90 percent from psychology. It's true?

I was told that in them the most the main thing is to suppress the ego of your opponent.

And you definitely succeeded today to belittle this arrogant grandmaster.

He became so little like that!

Like a gnome.

Where do you usually play?

- Nowhere. - Oh-ho ...

How many tournaments are you already won?

No one.

Today I am for the first time

touched his fingers to the real chess piece.

Oh no, no ... I don't believe, no.

So many ...

I grieved a lot with my heart ...

And grieved with my heart ...

about that much ...

about that highly experienced ...

about the husband who, while wandering long since the day

how Saint Ilion was destroyed by him ... and many people ...

so much ... grieved a lot ...

But he ... he ...

Balzac, Kleist, opera guide.

These are in the party library.

- Heine? - In the basket for incineration.

- Mann? - Also in the basket.

Are you still here?

Dr. Bartok! Glad that you finally wanted to see me.

- Let go! Let me go! - Please go to the room,

- It is unbearable! - which serves as my office.

Well, stand! Stop, I say!

Keep it!

- Here you go! - Don't let him jump out!

Horrible.

- Give it. - “There’s goulash for dinner.”

Such jokes are inappropriate.

- Friedl? - Yes?

I'll put things in order myself downstairs

- What happened here? - ... while you prepare the papers.

Release certificate, death certificate.

That's right. Where's the notary?

The doctor can wait. Return it to your room.

Thank you Erich.

The first move is e2 - e4, e7 - e5.

Second move from b8 to c6.

They start.

The first move is e2 - e4. And the black ones are coming ...

Now the knight from g1 to f3.

That is, a pawn.

Sixteen figures in two rows, so eight.

Eight eight is sixty four.

Sixty four, sixteen figures, two rows.

Sixty-four cells.

Eight in a row ...

Horse.

Knight and bishop.

Queen and King.

Knight g1 to f3.

And knight b8 - c6.

Е2 - e4, f1 - b5, a7 - a6.

E7 takes c6. This means he is eating the piece.

He eats a piece on c6. Knight b1 - c3.

Bishop f8, e6, c6, c5 and 8.

And 8, and 2, and 3. С8 - c6.

Bishop c1 - c3.

A7 - a6!

E2 - e4.

Black e7 to e5.

From g1 to f3.

Knight b1 - c3.

C6 - c5. Like this.

Then the black ones lose rook, and ...

... White loses a pawn. What should black do now?

What should black do now?

You can get a doctor. We found time for him.

Friedel, bring our coffee for a guest, please.

- Certainly. I'll cook it now. - Many thanks.

As you can see, doctor, I managed to go native

for months of stay here.

Have you lost track of time?

I guessed?

How long have I been with you?

Sixty two days, six months maybe a year.

In our rooms for special honored guests

time and space disappear.

Poof!

And we don't need you even touch it with your finger.

- Impressive. - Is not it?

But much more important is

that you can get away from here already today.

It won't be long to suffer.

Mm ...

- Thank you. - You are welcome.

Friedl, please bring notepad so we can

record the doctor's testimony Bartok.

I would be very grateful to you.

- I will bring it now. Wait a minute. - Thank you.

Mm...

Smells like the outside world is not it?

A cigarette?

I quit smoking.

Very commendable. Then let's get down to business.

Bank Savigny Vaduz.

According to our research it was open there

two separate accounts.

And both are under your guarantee.

Be so kind as name us access codes to them.

I have nothing to tell you.

Not understood.

Time has disappeared for me and space.

Poof!

And my head is empty.

Nothing left.

Just a couple of days ago, you were ready to tell everything.

And this is commendable on my part.

But now I even have this I do not remember.

I hope Dr. Bartok you understand that you can leave here

- only if you help us. - I want to go back to the room.

Friedl, what is he?

Maybe,

I liked living here.

This is an amazing hotel.

Thanks a lot for the coffee.

Anna?

From the very beginning of your voyage there was a single cabin.

It can't be!

I ...

- Here. - This is absurd!

See for yourself, Herr van Louven.

Here, I found ...

Your wife is not even there in the passenger list.

There he is! I recognized him.

Sorry sir, but the dining room unfortunately not yet opened.

You ... you served us.

- You served us. - Sorry?

My wife and I. Our table was over there.

My wife sat opposite me.

You also gave us red wine and spilled a little,

when they poured it into a glass. Don't you recognize?

- Oh yes. - Have you heard?

I asked if it is necessary

- change your tablecloth, - Yes.

and you said in this not necessary.

No. My wife. My wife answered you.

“My wife said so. - Wife? - Yes.

You dined alone.

- Maybe call a doctor? - No, no, thanks.

I don't need a doctor. Apparently ...

Apparently it was not worth getting carried away good old scotch tape.

Too much alcohol.

- What is it? - Just a mild sleeping pill.

You will calm down and be able to sleep.

Sleep.

It seems that this is a check for black.

And what is black now do you want to do?

What should black do?

King on d6.

Then black loses a pawn,

- and the king is coming ... - Let's. Show where he is.

Oh, have we stopped you from shitting? Well, I'm sorry, buddy.

Take a look. Is this a punishment?

Does not look like it. Well settled.

There is even a bathtub.

The linen is ironed.

And what a bed!

Is it soft for you?

Are you sleeping softly, goat?

Now listen here. My job is to get you to talk.

It will be necessary - on the meat hook hang up and drain all the blood out of you.

He has the water supply.

You can go now. I can handle it myself.

Everything is fine, go, go.

I brought something here.

It's always more fun to the music I agree?

So you are our lawyer.

I know you lawyers.

You make contracts.

You know the laws well.

Better yet, you know

how can any law cleverly get around.

You twist and twist them As you wish. Right?

But now the laws have changed.

Now you are nobody. Dirt.

And we are here - cleaners of this dirt.

There will be no lawyers business.

After all, business needs contracts. I'm right?

Yes ... all of you are like that high society.

We tore your ass for you fighting in the war.

Where were you? Houses?

We drank coffee, for walks went...

Collapsed necks, looking showcases of their fagot shops!

- I'm really sorry. - Filled up slurp, scum!

You're sorry, you say ?! What are you sorry about there?

Now I am your judge!

You're still here.

Where have you been?

- I was so worried. - Shh.

Crap!

Help pull it out. Prantl! Do not stand in a pillar!

Carefully.

Come to your senses, Bartok. Come to your senses.

Let's. Okay.

Breathe, breathe. Calmly.

Don't die without my permission.

It concerns you too, Prantl. I didn't ask you to kill him!

- I just thought ... - Just thinking.

Let me think. You're not good at it. Thank you.

Things are good.

Calmly.

Where does she come from here?

How did you get here?

Do you have any idea about where could he get it?

U ... I beg you ... not a book.

No no.

Please ... please!

No no...

Not...

Don't take them ...

No. I beg you. I ask you to!

It's amazing how a person becomes inventive

faced with difficulties.

You said chess is only for the bored

- Prussian generals. - I'm begging you.

Please don't!

Not!

Not!

Not my book.

We will continue with you.

But only without yours dirty tricks.

Not! I beg you!

I beg you ...

“Not my book, I beg you. - Eh, Bartok ...

What has become of your dignity?

Are you up already or haven't you gone to bed?

To be honest, I ...

“I don’t even know myself. - Perhaps because of the tape.

For the amateur you played beyond praise.

Taking off my hat.

We still hope for a rematch.

It must be profitable business for you?

People on the long voyage have time to get hungry for entertainment.

Strange. I thought he could find something more interesting.

Really? And why does he still have to study?

Well I do not know. Something to read. Or write a letter.

- Have fun conversations. - You will not believe,

he can't read, nor write.

And in his vocabulary no more than a hundred words.

Chess. Here is his language.

- So he does not know literacy? - It's hard to believe, isn't it?

He was born into one of the poorest regions of Hungary.

His mother died while giving birth to him, and my father soon died - he drowned,

when swimming in the Danube.

I believe that after this he is in himself and withdrawn.

School teachers considered him mentally retarded

other children threw mud.

And then, one winter evening, a miracle happened.

He saw the pastor play with the local gendarme in chess.

Mirko just stood by and watched them,

when suddenly, never even seeing this game before,

boy made his first move.

So what?

He beat the priest, and then and the gendarme three times in a row.

The next day the pastor took him to the barber,

to give it more or less presentable view,

and then drove to the nearest provincial town,

where he knew the right people

and put it up against the best players local chess club.

These he also beat.

Effortlessly alone after another.

Unperturbed how feeling nothing

soulless chess machine.

The arrows are translated automatically.

We're sailing against the rotation of the Earth

and at every degree of latitude its time.

It's better not to think about it. Do not go crazy for long.

Feeling better already?

Yes.

Okay.

I have a modest gift for you.

From me and from my faithful friends.

"Check for 2 thousand dollars"

You are either a very proud person

or very rich.

And so and so.

Listen,

America is a pretty expensive country

so a small starting capital won't hurt anyone.

"20 thousand"

One and only batch. Only you are against Centovich.

By doing this, you will deliver us a huge pleasure and joy.

You need a circus monkey.

You are wrong, we need a hero.

- I have to disappoint you. - Why? What do you have to lose from this?

Do not even imagine.

Do you really have have a choice?

You yourself perfectly understand

or he or you.

I think you overestimate me.

Maybe so. Or maybe I just know you better

than you think.

Tomorrow night, after supper.

You will definitely come.

Gustav?

What have they done to you?

We...

with these...

gentlemen ...

just had a peaceful conversation.

Don't you want to save your friend?

Give out the codes

and both will be freedom.

Are you free?

But in what sense?

Think like a notary?

You both get out of here alive.

- Are you giving me your word? - Certainly.

- A word of honor. - This is not enough.

- The word of the German, Herr Doctor. - It costs nothing.

As you wish.

It is only your decision.

I can not do it.

Give it up.

As much as you can.

Forgot that you are a fucking emperor whole China?

Say it.

I'm a goddamned Chinese emperor I am like that.

Say it!

You locked the door yourself from the inside.

What?

In terms of...

I am free?

Truth?

Free?

Yes you...

Free, of course.

Thank you.

One of the generators again knocks.

There is nothing to worry about.

What about the game?

- They are waiting for me in the restaurant. - It was most likely canceled.

- On the sea of ​​excitement. - No no! The game must take place.

Please accompany me!

And here is Dr. van Louven! Finally!

Here's the money. Your money. The bartender was so kind

that did not fail to save this check.

I will play for the clock on his wrist!

They are mine. He stole them!

Gentlemen! Gentlemen! I beg you to calm down.

- You are not serious, I hope? - Nothing.

Pay attention, lover will play white.

Write it down. We want to keep this match is for posterity, isn't it?

Write it down.

Write it down.

If anyone is interested my humble opinion,

then these gentlemen are going to play the Spanish party.

Mister McConor, excuse me remind you

that they play chess here, not rugby.

Have a drink.

You need to write down your move, Bartok.

Write it down!

What are you looking at?

It seems to me, or you are something annoyed, Herr van Louven?

- More. I need more. - Yes, doctor. As much as you like.

To your health.

More.

- I quit smoking. - Mm.

Just a migratory seagull It's OK.

We're just getting closer to the ground to America.

She needs help. Can you hear her screams of despair?

She's in pain. She needs our help!

We'll take care of her I promise you.

Do not worry, keep playing for now.

And we will help her.

Herr van Louven.

Your move, mister notary.

Shah.

- Check the black king! - Wait a minute, wait a minute,

I don't see the check here. And of you does anyone see a check here?

Herr van Louven, I don't really understand what you want.

I need more water. More! More water!

Why are you so nervous Herr is a lawyer?

Where is he from here? He needs to be arrested.

Arrest him immediately.

Maybe let's stop the game doctor? Let's take a break.

You are the only one from this party only harm, in my opinion.

Stop the game? Do you want to prevent me?

- Would you like me to lose? - It seems to me,

you can lose more than I expected.

Maybe let's continue the game next time?

Hush, gentlemen. Quiet!

You get in the way of the champion concentrate.

You can do it.

So, say.

I am the emperor of everything fucking China.

You still think that this is just a game?

How your head won't burst from your smart books?

Well, look, Josef.

And goodbye.

Ah, Joseph ...

I think you yourself know that.

Let's go dance.

- Do you know what I was thinking? - Not.

While Vienna is dancing the world cannot come crashing down.

Yes, go already at last.

And what is the use of this?

You already already know

what will be my move.

Is not it?

again and again, but you invariably won

Damned, he is forced to wander across the seas on your ship.

Odysseus.

You have such a pleasant voice.

I have a feeling,

as if I had already heard it somewhere.

Do you want me to read it to you?

Really want to.

Muse, tell me

experienced husband who, wandering for a long time

from the day as Saint Ilion destroyed by them,

many people of the city visited and the customs have seen,

I grieved a lot with my heart on the seas, taking care of my life about salvation

and return to the homeland of satellites.

However, the worries were in vain, he did not save his companions:

they themselves brought death upon themselves sacrilege, madmen,

having eaten the bulls of Helios, God walking above us, -

he stole the day of their return from them. Tell me about it ...
