00:02:15.708 --> 00:02:19.208 align:center
What I've written from my heart
and what I continue to write from my heart

00:02:19.291 --> 00:02:23.041 align:center
must not and cannot be tailored,
even a stitch,

00:02:23.125 --> 00:02:25.416 align:center
to reflect either the heart of another

00:02:25.500 --> 00:02:30.625 align:center
or the fake, plastic, artificial heart
of this marketplace,

00:02:30.708 --> 00:02:32.333 align:center
which-- which was once a world.

00:02:32.416 --> 00:02:33.750 align:center
Mm.

00:02:33.833 --> 00:02:38.250 align:center
My books can't be edited
any more than a leopard can be manicured.

00:02:40.041 --> 00:02:43.958 align:center
It's like Faulkner said, "I get drunk,
I get mad, I get thrown from horses."

00:02:44.041 --> 00:02:46.875 align:center
"I get all sorts of things,
but I don't get edited."

00:02:46.958 --> 00:02:51.541 align:center
"I'd rather see the stable boy
fuck my wife than get edited."

00:02:52.375 --> 00:02:54.916 align:center
It's true. Best editors, they don't edit.

00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:58.333 align:center
They conspire with the artist
to bring freedom and gain.

00:02:59.208 --> 00:03:02.041 align:center
"Oh, now, Mr. Faulkner,

00:03:02.125 --> 00:03:05.125 align:center
what were you thinking of
when you wrote that?"

00:03:05.833 --> 00:03:06.833 align:center
"Money."

00:03:08.875 --> 00:03:11.791 align:center
Isn't that great? He said "money."

00:03:11.875 --> 00:03:13.708 align:center
Oh, money.

00:03:14.875 --> 00:03:16.333 align:center
That's right.

00:03:16.416 --> 00:03:17.541 align:center
That's right.

00:03:19.208 --> 00:03:22.458 align:center
Only an artist truly works
for his loved ones

00:03:22.541 --> 00:03:24.791 align:center
and, more importantly,
for his descendants,

00:03:24.875 --> 00:03:27.500 align:center
because they're the only ones
that get to see the fuckin' paycheck.

00:03:27.583 --> 00:03:30.458 align:center
We don't get paid hourly
or weekly or monthly or annually.

00:03:30.541 --> 00:03:33.833 align:center
We get paid posthumously
when we're fucking dead.

00:03:38.291 --> 00:03:41.583 align:center
What's all the… What is all this?

00:03:42.250 --> 00:03:43.250 align:center
That?

00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:51.958 align:center
I never get to do what I want,
and this is something that I want to do.

00:03:52.041 --> 00:03:54.958 align:center
It's a translation of The Divine Comedy.

00:03:55.458 --> 00:03:58.583 align:center
I fu-- I know this poem so well
I feel like I wrote it myself.

00:03:58.666 --> 00:04:01.375 align:center
I-- It's-- I've been
working on it for ten years.

00:04:03.500 --> 00:04:06.041 align:center
-You had the lining replaced, didn't you?
-Yeah.

00:04:08.541 --> 00:04:10.791 align:center
You're still looking sharp
after all these years.

00:04:10.875 --> 00:04:12.333 align:center
Thank you very much.

00:04:12.833 --> 00:04:13.958 align:center
Don't worry, kid.

00:04:14.041 --> 00:04:17.208 align:center
When the wind hits,
we'll put a coat on you.

00:04:22.291 --> 00:04:23.375 align:center
So, uh…

00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:26.416 align:center
Who's Dante?

00:04:28.458 --> 00:04:29.666 align:center
"Who's Dante?"

00:04:30.166 --> 00:04:31.166 align:center
Uh…

00:04:31.916 --> 00:04:34.875 align:center
A writer from the past.

00:04:35.541 --> 00:04:39.541 align:center
He-- He wrote
a very famous poem, the Comedy,

00:04:39.625 --> 00:04:42.041 align:center
later called The Divine Comedy.

00:04:42.833 --> 00:04:43.833 align:center
Oh, yeah.

00:04:43.916 --> 00:04:44.958 align:center
Yeah.

00:04:45.041 --> 00:04:47.750 align:center
But you see, Dante, he-- he got trapped.

00:04:47.833 --> 00:04:51.083 align:center
He locked himself into this cage
of rhyme and meter,

00:04:51.166 --> 00:04:52.875 align:center
and where's the fucking hope in that?

00:04:52.958 --> 00:04:55.791 align:center
So I realized--
I sort of realized that he's flawed.

00:04:56.291 --> 00:04:58.625 align:center
It's flawed because he's flawed.

00:05:00.541 --> 00:05:02.041 align:center
Yeah, I know what you mean.

00:06:00.583 --> 00:06:03.166 align:center
Hey. Old-timer.

00:06:04.125 --> 00:06:05.208 align:center
Hey, Unc.

00:06:06.625 --> 00:06:09.166 align:center
You look like you've seen a ghost.
What happened?

00:06:09.250 --> 00:06:10.833 align:center
I killed some kid.

00:06:14.083 --> 00:06:16.041 align:center
-When?
-Just now.

00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.708 align:center
-Where?
-Down by the glass factory.

00:06:22.166 --> 00:06:24.500 align:center
-How?
-I cut his throat.

00:06:27.416 --> 00:06:29.416 align:center
Was he from the neighborhood?

00:06:29.500 --> 00:06:31.166 align:center
I'd never seen him before.

00:06:32.416 --> 00:06:34.166 align:center
Well, where's the shiv?

00:06:35.166 --> 00:06:37.875 align:center
The knife.
Where's the knife you killed him with?

00:06:37.958 --> 00:06:39.750 align:center
I threw it down the sewer.

00:06:43.791 --> 00:06:45.291 align:center
Why'd you do it?

00:06:46.666 --> 00:06:49.916 align:center
He had this big knife
and asked me if I wanted to die.

00:06:51.458 --> 00:06:54.666 align:center
So you didn't start nothing. He did.

00:06:54.750 --> 00:06:55.708 align:center
-Yeah.
-Right.

00:06:56.666 --> 00:06:57.833 align:center
How you feel?

00:07:28.875 --> 00:07:30.166 align:center
Come on, sit here.

00:07:32.416 --> 00:07:33.958 align:center
You're gonna make, uh…

00:07:34.041 --> 00:07:37.250 align:center
You're gonna make a career out of this,
or what?

00:07:38.250 --> 00:07:41.208 align:center
What, you feel like
a little tough guy now?

00:07:41.291 --> 00:07:42.625 align:center
-No.
-Mm.

00:07:42.708 --> 00:07:45.416 align:center
Good 'cause you ain't.

00:07:46.291 --> 00:07:48.416 align:center
Remember what I always told you.

00:07:48.916 --> 00:07:50.500 align:center
The golden rule.

00:07:51.416 --> 00:07:53.708 align:center
Love thy neighbor.

00:07:53.791 --> 00:07:54.875 align:center
-Right.
-Mm.

00:07:55.666 --> 00:07:59.708 align:center
And you don't be like
this kid you ran into. Huh?

00:07:59.791 --> 00:08:03.666 align:center
-Right.
-You don't give no malarkey to nobody.

00:08:03.750 --> 00:08:04.708 align:center
What's…

00:08:05.333 --> 00:08:08.125 align:center
What's the rest of that? Like I told you.

00:08:08.208 --> 00:08:11.833 align:center
Don't give no malarkey,
and don't take no malarkey from nobody.

00:08:12.666 --> 00:08:15.250 align:center
See, so you didn't take no malarkey.

00:08:15.333 --> 00:08:16.500 align:center
Right.

00:08:17.625 --> 00:08:20.666 align:center
And you're sure
he ain't from the neighborhood?

00:08:20.750 --> 00:08:22.458 align:center
I never seen him before.

00:08:25.250 --> 00:08:26.333 align:center
Come here.

00:08:28.041 --> 00:08:29.041 align:center
Unc?

00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:31.250 align:center
What?

00:08:31.333 --> 00:08:35.208 align:center
Do I have to tell what I told you
when I make my confession?

00:08:37.041 --> 00:08:39.083 align:center
What are you talking about, confession?

00:08:39.708 --> 00:08:41.916 align:center
For my First Holy Communion.

00:08:42.916 --> 00:08:44.625 align:center
Oh, that. Oh, yeah.

00:08:46.916 --> 00:08:48.708 align:center
God's everywhere.

00:08:48.791 --> 00:08:49.791 align:center
-Right?
-Right.

00:08:49.875 --> 00:08:50.875 align:center
Right.

00:08:51.750 --> 00:08:54.000 align:center
And he hears everything, right?

00:08:54.083 --> 00:08:57.125 align:center
Right. He sees everything,
he hears everything.

00:08:57.208 --> 00:09:00.166 align:center
Yes. So who's more important,

00:09:00.250 --> 00:09:02.916 align:center
God or the priest?

00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:04.083 align:center
God.

00:09:05.083 --> 00:09:07.916 align:center
So God just heard your confession, see?

00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:09.875 align:center
You said it out loud.

00:09:12.291 --> 00:09:15.250 align:center
I heard it. God heard it.

00:09:16.875 --> 00:09:19.500 align:center
-Hmm?
-So is that the way you do it?

00:09:20.083 --> 00:09:22.708 align:center
That's the way I do it, yeah. Yeah.

00:09:22.791 --> 00:09:25.041 align:center
Well, that's it? My sin is gone?

00:09:25.125 --> 00:09:26.500 align:center
What sin?

00:09:26.583 --> 00:09:27.875 align:center
You didn't sin.

00:09:28.500 --> 00:09:30.000 align:center
The little chadrool

00:09:30.083 --> 00:09:33.166 align:center
who pulled a knife on you
for no good reason,

00:09:33.250 --> 00:09:35.083 align:center
he's the one who sinned.

00:09:35.833 --> 00:09:37.833 align:center
And God punished him.

00:09:38.333 --> 00:09:39.666 align:center
Through you.

00:09:40.708 --> 00:09:42.000 align:center
Thanks, Unc.

00:09:42.666 --> 00:09:43.958 align:center
We're buddies, right?

00:09:44.041 --> 00:09:45.791 align:center
Yeah, buddies.

00:09:47.208 --> 00:09:48.500 align:center
Just remember.

00:09:49.708 --> 00:09:55.333 align:center
What goes on between us and God,
things like this, are special.

00:09:55.833 --> 00:10:00.291 align:center
You can't tell nobody about these things.

00:10:00.375 --> 00:10:02.208 align:center
That's a sin.

00:10:02.291 --> 00:10:04.250 align:center
That's a bad sin.

00:10:06.625 --> 00:10:07.750 align:center
Yeah?

00:10:09.625 --> 00:10:10.791 align:center
Okay.

00:10:13.333 --> 00:10:15.500 align:center
There's the sink. Out back.

00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:17.875 align:center
Go wash your hands now. They're dirty.

00:10:33.833 --> 00:10:35.125 align:center
I understood.

00:10:35.916 --> 00:10:38.250 align:center
And above all, I was absolved.

00:10:38.916 --> 00:10:40.916 align:center
And I never did tell anyone.

00:10:42.125 --> 00:10:43.875 align:center
Did I just admit that?

00:11:28.750 --> 00:11:31.500 align:center
The creamy white gardenia blossoms,

00:11:31.583 --> 00:11:34.208 align:center
and the violet blossoms,
and the red blossoms,

00:11:34.291 --> 00:11:37.291 align:center
and the pink blossoms,
and the yellow blossoms

00:11:37.375 --> 00:11:42.416 align:center
of countless other flowers,
and countless other scents came forth

00:11:42.500 --> 00:11:45.166 align:center
in the sun and shadow
from the lush, deep green.

00:11:46.458 --> 00:11:50.541 align:center
There stood the open monuments
to a darker magic of the sun,

00:11:50.625 --> 00:11:52.541 align:center
the faded petroglyphs,

00:11:52.625 --> 00:11:56.125 align:center
the raised and smoothed,
worn coral altars,

00:11:56.708 --> 00:12:01.375 align:center
where the marae of human sacrifice
practiced late into the 19th century,

00:12:01.458 --> 00:12:03.875 align:center
and the scent
of blood offering and cannibalism

00:12:04.458 --> 00:12:07.166 align:center
mingled with the scents
of the white blossoms,

00:12:07.250 --> 00:12:09.958 align:center
and the violet blossoms,
and the red blossoms,

00:12:10.041 --> 00:12:11.416 align:center
and the pink blossoms,

00:12:11.500 --> 00:12:13.416 align:center
and the yellow blossoms.

00:12:18.500 --> 00:12:22.875 align:center
There were nine skies,
not heavens, but skies.

00:12:23.375 --> 00:12:27.750 align:center
All of what truth Dante knew
had begun with this revelation.

00:12:28.333 --> 00:12:30.916 align:center
The first of the skies
that he had come to know

00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:34.625 align:center
had through those years become
the rarest of all skies.

00:12:34.708 --> 00:12:37.416 align:center
This was the great sky of illimitableness,

00:12:37.500 --> 00:12:42.500 align:center
which encompassed its coming,
its being, its passing, and its night.

00:12:43.791 --> 00:12:47.250 align:center
Dante was the child
of the magical hilltop.

00:12:47.958 --> 00:12:49.791 align:center
But so was I.

00:12:51.791 --> 00:12:55.916 align:center
And one of the nine skies is the same sky
that a man will see only once,

00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:58.000 align:center
on the day that he dies.

00:13:02.916 --> 00:13:05.916 align:center
It was the dead of August,
that time in New York

00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:10.208 align:center
when the daylight sky was
an oppressive, low-lying glare of white,

00:13:10.291 --> 00:13:14.250 align:center
and the dark of night was
a haze of starless ash and pallor.

00:13:14.750 --> 00:13:16.500 align:center
Louie felt at one with it.

00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:19.625 align:center
He lighted a cigarette and drew smoke.

00:13:19.708 --> 00:13:21.833 align:center
It was late, but not for him.

00:13:34.541 --> 00:13:36.041 align:center
Making the rounds, my friend?

00:13:36.125 --> 00:13:37.958 align:center
Don't call me that.

00:13:38.541 --> 00:13:40.625 align:center
Give me a drink and an ashtray.

00:13:42.541 --> 00:13:45.041 align:center
Hey, we got this new grappa. It's great.

00:13:45.125 --> 00:13:46.333 align:center
Fuck you.

00:13:46.416 --> 00:13:51.125 align:center
Save that shit for the suckers.
Give me a Dewar's and water on the rocks.

00:13:52.833 --> 00:13:55.583 align:center
Fuck the ashtray. I'll use the floor.

00:14:08.375 --> 00:14:09.958 align:center
So how's it going, Lou?

00:14:10.708 --> 00:14:12.083 align:center
Yeah, you know…

00:14:14.041 --> 00:14:16.333 align:center
Back in the old days, when I was a kid,

00:14:17.208 --> 00:14:21.041 align:center
the old-timers used to say, "The bigger
the mustache, the bigger the man."

00:14:22.083 --> 00:14:25.041 align:center
Now, these days,
I see a guy with a mustache,

00:14:25.125 --> 00:14:27.666 align:center
I figure he's either a cop or a faggot.

00:14:28.291 --> 00:14:29.458 align:center
Or both.

00:14:29.541 --> 00:14:31.833 align:center
I guess I better shave it off then,
huh, Lou?

00:14:31.916 --> 00:14:35.000 align:center
Nah, just leave it.
Your father's a cop, right?

00:14:35.708 --> 00:14:38.875 align:center
Yeah, maybe you got
that half a fag, cop streak in you.

00:14:40.333 --> 00:14:41.416 align:center
It suits you.

00:14:41.916 --> 00:14:43.333 align:center
The mustache.

00:14:47.541 --> 00:14:48.750 align:center
You know…

00:14:48.833 --> 00:14:52.083 align:center
…your uncle is a real fuckup.

00:14:52.583 --> 00:14:54.708 align:center
I mean, don't get me wrong,
you're a fuckup too,

00:14:54.791 --> 00:14:56.750 align:center
but you're small change.

00:14:56.833 --> 00:14:59.541 align:center
But your uncle, he's a real fuckup.

00:15:00.041 --> 00:15:03.250 align:center
Oh, he had this joint,
he did good with it for a while.

00:15:03.333 --> 00:15:06.000 align:center
Pissed everything away gambling.

00:15:06.541 --> 00:15:10.500 align:center
So he comes to my friends,
they help him out, he keeps fucking up.

00:15:11.375 --> 00:15:14.541 align:center
Comes crying to the bank over here
to cover his checks to Con Ed

00:15:14.625 --> 00:15:16.916 align:center
every third time
he gets a shut-off notice.

00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:20.750 align:center
No, my friends, they don't like that.

00:15:27.375 --> 00:15:28.458 align:center
Hey, Lou.

00:15:29.250 --> 00:15:31.291 align:center
Don't you think
you ought to put that away?

00:15:32.208 --> 00:15:34.583 align:center
What if some cop walks by and looks in?

00:15:35.916 --> 00:15:39.041 align:center
When was the last time you saw a cop walk?

00:15:39.125 --> 00:15:40.583 align:center
They don't walk no more.

00:15:40.666 --> 00:15:43.291 align:center
Nah. They go to the gym
like the rest of these fruits,

00:15:43.375 --> 00:15:44.666 align:center
but they don't walk.

00:15:44.750 --> 00:15:47.250 align:center
Last cop I saw walking the beat,

00:15:47.750 --> 00:15:49.291 align:center
it was a broad.

00:15:50.291 --> 00:15:53.291 align:center
Five foot two, New York's finest.

00:15:53.375 --> 00:15:55.000 align:center
Like your old man,

00:15:55.083 --> 00:15:58.416 align:center
a worthless, ugly, little cunt.

00:16:02.666 --> 00:16:03.583 align:center
Anyway…

00:16:05.541 --> 00:16:10.166 align:center
My friends, they figure if I throw a scare
into this piece-of-shit uncle of yours,

00:16:10.250 --> 00:16:12.083 align:center
maybe he'll get the message.

00:16:13.416 --> 00:16:16.500 align:center
Hey, take it easy, huh? Take it easy.

00:16:18.125 --> 00:16:22.458 align:center
It's like the great Buddha said,
moderation in all things.

00:16:22.541 --> 00:16:24.291 align:center
The Eightfold Path.

00:16:26.500 --> 00:16:28.291 align:center
You ever take it up the ass?

00:16:28.916 --> 00:16:30.208 align:center
Huh?

00:16:30.291 --> 00:16:32.208 align:center
Well, you ought to try it sometime.

00:16:32.291 --> 00:16:33.916 align:center
Might make a man out of you.

00:16:35.125 --> 00:16:37.416 align:center
So like I say, you and your uncle,

00:16:37.500 --> 00:16:39.333 align:center
you're two of a kind.

00:16:39.416 --> 00:16:43.125 align:center
Two little, lying, degenerate cocksuckers.

00:16:44.666 --> 00:16:46.291 align:center
I know you've been robbing them.

00:16:46.791 --> 00:16:48.416 align:center
Selling the stock to other joints.

00:16:48.500 --> 00:16:52.083 align:center
Oh, a few bottles here,
a few bottles there. Chickenshit stuff.

00:16:52.166 --> 00:16:53.666 align:center
But then again,

00:16:53.750 --> 00:16:55.916 align:center
you're a little chickenshit cocksucker.

00:16:56.708 --> 00:16:59.416 align:center
And your mother, God rest her soul,

00:17:00.166 --> 00:17:01.875 align:center
was a cocksucker too.

00:17:02.375 --> 00:17:05.625 align:center
And… not a very good one at that.

00:17:13.750 --> 00:17:15.708 align:center
You're funny looking, you know that?

00:17:16.500 --> 00:17:18.791 align:center
How'd you get a broad to marry you?

00:17:19.333 --> 00:17:22.291 align:center
She must be
a worse fucking loser than you are.

00:17:22.375 --> 00:17:23.875 align:center
I mean, I never seen her.

00:17:23.958 --> 00:17:25.291 align:center
Your kids neither.

00:17:26.833 --> 00:17:28.166 align:center
You got a picture?

00:17:47.458 --> 00:17:48.541 align:center
Is this her?

00:17:54.333 --> 00:17:56.333 align:center
Yeah, she's funny-looking too.

00:17:58.708 --> 00:18:01.041 align:center
You look like one of them…
What do you call them?

00:18:01.125 --> 00:18:02.958 align:center
One of them ferrets.

00:18:03.708 --> 00:18:05.791 align:center
And she looks like a pig.

00:18:07.208 --> 00:18:10.500 align:center
You cross a donkey and a horse,
you get a mule.

00:18:11.041 --> 00:18:14.333 align:center
Guess this is what you get
when you cross a ferret and a pig, huh?

00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:18.333 align:center
How old's the little girl?

00:18:18.958 --> 00:18:20.916 align:center
She'll be ten next month.

00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:24.208 align:center
Well, like I said, I never met them.

00:18:25.750 --> 00:18:28.583 align:center
Maybe I should take a trip
out to Jersey one of these days.

00:18:28.666 --> 00:18:30.166 align:center
Pay my respects.

00:18:31.916 --> 00:18:33.958 align:center
How old's the little girl? You said ten?

00:18:36.125 --> 00:18:37.791 align:center
It's funny, you know.

00:18:38.750 --> 00:18:40.250 align:center
The older you get,

00:18:41.041 --> 00:18:43.083 align:center
the younger you like your meat.

00:18:58.958 --> 00:19:00.500 align:center
What is it you want me to do?

00:19:01.291 --> 00:19:04.083 align:center
First, and like
the arresting officer says,

00:19:04.166 --> 00:19:06.083 align:center
think about this carefully
before you answer,

00:19:06.166 --> 00:19:10.333 align:center
because it may be the most important
answer you ever give in your life,

00:19:11.083 --> 00:19:13.875 align:center
how much money is in this dump right now?

00:19:13.958 --> 00:19:17.500 align:center
Just the take from the night, about 1,200.

00:19:18.916 --> 00:19:19.875 align:center
That's pathetic.

00:19:20.958 --> 00:19:22.958 align:center
It's all credit cards these days.

00:19:25.375 --> 00:19:28.375 align:center
How much of this 1,200
you already dip into?

00:19:29.125 --> 00:19:30.875 align:center
You took it already, Lou.

00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:33.541 align:center
Empty your pockets.

00:19:45.750 --> 00:19:47.791 align:center
And where's the rest of the 1,200?

00:19:48.416 --> 00:19:49.791 align:center
It's in the kitchen.

00:19:50.291 --> 00:19:51.333 align:center
Let's go.

00:20:11.291 --> 00:20:12.416 align:center
All right.

00:20:15.083 --> 00:20:18.166 align:center
Now you remember, we were talking
about making a man out of you.

00:20:19.250 --> 00:20:21.041 align:center
Get on your fucking knees.

00:20:21.583 --> 00:20:25.083 align:center
-Please. I'll do anything you want me to.
-Just fucking do it.

00:20:30.541 --> 00:20:33.291 align:center
Now hold your ankles nice and tight.

00:20:33.833 --> 00:20:35.250 align:center
Like a good little girl.

00:20:38.375 --> 00:20:39.916 align:center
Perfect.

00:20:40.625 --> 00:20:41.875 align:center
Nice.

00:20:56.125 --> 00:21:00.375 align:center
I now speak to you
as an AOL Time Warner product.

00:21:00.875 --> 00:21:03.791 align:center
I never envisioned that
I'd live long enough to say these words,

00:21:03.875 --> 00:21:06.625 align:center
which both repulse and strangely amuse me.

00:21:07.166 --> 00:21:10.291 align:center
Imagining ends and fortune
bears two faces,

00:21:10.375 --> 00:21:13.250 align:center
neither of which is unveiled
until the end.

00:21:13.750 --> 00:21:15.458 align:center
The veil has not yet been lifted,

00:21:15.541 --> 00:21:18.833 align:center
but I can and will tell you
what brought me here.

00:21:29.125 --> 00:21:30.750 align:center
Yeah, she's mine.

00:21:34.916 --> 00:21:36.833 align:center
At first, she called me "Nick."

00:21:37.333 --> 00:21:39.708 align:center
And then she started to call me "Daddy."

00:21:40.208 --> 00:21:42.250 align:center
She asked
if it was all right to call me that,

00:21:42.333 --> 00:21:44.750 align:center
and I told her
it was the best thing I'd ever heard.

00:21:46.083 --> 00:21:47.291 align:center
When I kissed her goodbye,

00:21:47.375 --> 00:21:50.875 align:center
I realized that her smile
no longer had that secret melancholy

00:21:50.958 --> 00:21:54.041 align:center
that I had sensed
when I first saw her image.

00:21:54.125 --> 00:21:56.541 align:center
And I wondered how long it had been gone.

00:21:57.250 --> 00:21:59.458 align:center
Hers was the smile of beatitude,

00:21:59.541 --> 00:22:02.541 align:center
and I felt blessed
that a part of me was of her,

00:22:02.625 --> 00:22:04.291 align:center
and that through her this part of me

00:22:04.375 --> 00:22:06.958 align:center
would be something better
than I would ever be.

00:22:07.041 --> 00:22:10.875 align:center
And through her, it would savor
a purity of breath I would never know.

00:22:12.958 --> 00:22:16.333 align:center
I don't know what my own smile
looked like, but it felt good.

00:22:31.333 --> 00:22:33.416 align:center
And then it was over.

00:22:33.500 --> 00:22:36.041 align:center
And they never caught
the motherfucker who did it.

00:23:51.916 --> 00:23:55.333 align:center
I feel nothing of these open rocks.

00:23:56.333 --> 00:23:58.708 align:center
Or of your kindness!

00:24:07.833 --> 00:24:09.208 align:center
Fuck you,

00:24:09.708 --> 00:24:10.791 align:center
God.

00:24:13.500 --> 00:24:14.750 align:center
Fuck you.

00:24:37.083 --> 00:24:38.833 align:center
I just ordered a pizza.

00:24:57.500 --> 00:24:59.416 align:center
Nice to see you, Lou.

00:25:02.041 --> 00:25:03.125 align:center
Is that real?

00:25:04.666 --> 00:25:06.958 align:center
Rembrandt, self-portrait.

00:25:08.125 --> 00:25:11.750 align:center
If I had a snout like that
when I was doing a self-portrait,

00:25:11.833 --> 00:25:14.250 align:center
I think I would have done
a little cosmetic surgery

00:25:14.333 --> 00:25:15.708 align:center
with the paint there.

00:25:16.625 --> 00:25:18.291 align:center
What's something like that worth?

00:25:18.791 --> 00:25:21.791 align:center
How do you put a price on beauty, Lou?

00:25:21.875 --> 00:25:23.166 align:center
Do you like that painting?

00:25:23.250 --> 00:25:25.916 align:center
To be perfectly honest, no.

00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:28.041 align:center
I think it's an ugly piece of shit.

00:25:28.541 --> 00:25:30.208 align:center
And I know you do too.

00:25:30.291 --> 00:25:33.708 align:center
Otherwise, you'd have put it on the wall
over there where you could see it.

00:25:34.208 --> 00:25:37.750 align:center
You got it hanging over your head here
like a crown for other people to see.

00:25:38.375 --> 00:25:40.541 align:center
Ten million bucks worth of ugly.

00:25:40.625 --> 00:25:43.000 align:center
Can you believe that shit?

00:25:43.083 --> 00:25:44.666 align:center
Strange fucking world, Lou.

00:25:45.458 --> 00:25:47.458 align:center
Strange fucking world.

00:25:47.958 --> 00:25:51.541 align:center
Well, at least I know you didn't pay
no ten million bucks for it, huh?

00:25:51.625 --> 00:25:54.000 align:center
For that kind of money,
you could get something good.

00:25:54.583 --> 00:25:55.666 align:center
Oh no, you're right.

00:25:55.750 --> 00:25:59.875 align:center
What I'm saying is,
it's crazy what people will pay for.

00:26:00.500 --> 00:26:03.208 align:center
And it's strange
what people pay a lot for.

00:26:03.291 --> 00:26:06.250 align:center
When I say a lot, I mean a lot.

00:26:06.333 --> 00:26:09.916 align:center
This is why I've fucked up
your pizza tonight, Lou.

00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:14.083 align:center
I fucked up your pizza to tell you
you're gonna be a very wealthy man.

00:26:14.166 --> 00:26:17.166 align:center
This may be the hardest work
you've ever done,

00:26:17.250 --> 00:26:19.958 align:center
but when it's done,
if we bring this one home,

00:26:20.041 --> 00:26:23.958 align:center
you'll never have to pull
another trigger again in your life

00:26:24.041 --> 00:26:28.291 align:center
except to go out in a tweed jacket
and clip a pheasant.

00:26:28.375 --> 00:26:29.750 align:center
This is big, Lou.

00:26:31.125 --> 00:26:32.291 align:center
How big?

00:26:32.375 --> 00:26:36.833 align:center
Bigger than anyone
ever dreamt anything could be.

00:26:39.166 --> 00:26:40.833 align:center
What kind of money we talking?

00:26:42.583 --> 00:26:43.916 align:center
Your end?

00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:44.833 align:center
My end.

00:26:44.916 --> 00:26:48.041 align:center
Between one and two million, maybe more.

00:26:48.125 --> 00:26:51.041 align:center
Tax-free, nice, clean bills.

00:26:51.125 --> 00:26:53.291 align:center
What do I got to do, kill an army?

00:26:54.041 --> 00:26:57.291 align:center
Well, we're gonna have to hush
a few mouths,

00:26:57.375 --> 00:27:00.083 align:center
a few lullabies along the way.

00:27:01.916 --> 00:27:03.083 align:center
When's payday?

00:27:03.666 --> 00:27:06.083 align:center
A few months after we start.

00:27:07.375 --> 00:27:09.500 align:center
-When do we start?
-Soon.

00:27:09.583 --> 00:27:12.958 align:center
I just got the word I was waiting for,
then I called you.

00:27:13.708 --> 00:27:17.291 align:center
Lefty is bringing in this guy he knows.

00:27:18.041 --> 00:27:22.041 align:center
Some writer friend of his, half legit,

00:27:22.125 --> 00:27:25.250 align:center
the key guy we need
to move this thing along.

00:27:25.333 --> 00:27:26.875 align:center
Friend of his?

00:27:26.958 --> 00:27:28.750 align:center
What, we got friends now?

00:27:28.833 --> 00:27:30.083 align:center
Who is this guy?

00:27:30.166 --> 00:27:32.875 align:center
I don't know. Some guy named Nick.

00:27:32.958 --> 00:27:36.708 align:center
"Nick, Nick…"
This is a world of fucking Nicks.

00:27:36.791 --> 00:27:38.833 align:center
What-- What? What is this?

00:27:38.916 --> 00:27:41.666 align:center
What the fuck do you care
what his name is?

00:27:41.750 --> 00:27:44.541 align:center
Oh, it ain't got nothing to do
with nobody's name.

00:27:44.625 --> 00:27:46.666 align:center
It's the word "friend."

00:27:49.041 --> 00:27:50.125 align:center
Look.

00:27:51.750 --> 00:27:55.833 align:center
Like I said, for now, take it easy.
There's 10 grand.

00:27:56.708 --> 00:27:58.125 align:center
Consider it a friend.

00:27:58.208 --> 00:28:01.416 align:center
No, better yet, just think of it as money.

00:28:02.416 --> 00:28:03.500 align:center
Joe,

00:28:04.416 --> 00:28:05.250 align:center
my friend.

00:28:12.750 --> 00:28:14.958 align:center
He caught the last of the seventh.

00:28:15.541 --> 00:28:17.083 align:center
The pizza was good.

00:28:17.166 --> 00:28:20.250 align:center
Uno, dos, one, two, tres, quatro

00:28:25.208 --> 00:28:27.375 align:center
Hey, Wooly Bully

00:28:28.375 --> 00:28:29.958 align:center
Watch it now, watch it

00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:33.416 align:center
Here it come, here it come…

00:28:37.125 --> 00:28:38.125 align:center
Hello?

00:28:40.083 --> 00:28:42.541 align:center
Hello, this is Nick Tosches' office.

00:28:44.041 --> 00:28:45.875 align:center
Yeah, no shit. Who's this?

00:28:46.541 --> 00:28:49.458 align:center
You must be Mr. Tosches. Excuse me.

00:28:49.541 --> 00:28:50.375 align:center
Where--?

00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:52.500 align:center
Where's Anna?

00:28:52.583 --> 00:28:57.000 align:center
I'm Giulietta. Anna is in the hospital.
She has preeclampsia.

00:28:57.500 --> 00:29:00.208 align:center
-What?
-She's pregnant, preeclampsia.

00:29:00.291 --> 00:29:02.541 align:center
Her baby was in danger.

00:29:02.625 --> 00:29:04.958 align:center
She's not here. I'm taking over for her.

00:29:05.041 --> 00:29:06.333 align:center
Taking over?

00:29:06.416 --> 00:29:10.125 align:center
Well, yes, Mr. Tosches.
I'm her cousin from Italy.

00:29:10.208 --> 00:29:14.041 align:center
You call me Mr. Tosches one more time,
I'm gonna have a hemorrhoid.

00:29:14.125 --> 00:29:16.750 align:center
You're her-- her cousin,
you can call me Nick.

00:29:16.833 --> 00:29:18.416 align:center
Where--? Is she all right?

00:29:18.500 --> 00:29:20.625 align:center
She is in good hands.

00:29:20.708 --> 00:29:22.166 align:center
And so are you.

00:29:22.250 --> 00:29:23.291 align:center
Okay.

00:29:24.166 --> 00:29:25.583 align:center
Any money come in?

00:29:25.666 --> 00:29:27.166 align:center
Just a few small checks,

00:29:27.250 --> 00:29:31.625 align:center
and an offer in from Germany
for about 3,000 marks.

00:29:31.708 --> 00:29:33.416 align:center
Okay, anything else?

00:29:33.500 --> 00:29:36.000 align:center
Yes, you've missed a couple of deadlines,

00:29:36.083 --> 00:29:38.666 align:center
and your editor would like to schedule
an appointment with you.

00:29:38.750 --> 00:29:39.958 align:center
That was a month ago.

00:29:40.041 --> 00:29:42.125 align:center
Did you receive the emails? You were cc'd.

00:29:42.208 --> 00:29:44.333 align:center
Yes, yeah, I did.

00:29:46.166 --> 00:29:49.541 align:center
Uh, you know how to type, don't you?

00:29:49.625 --> 00:29:52.250 align:center
Every word I say, verbatim. You ready?

00:29:52.333 --> 00:29:54.416 align:center
Okay. Uh, I'm ready.

00:29:55.375 --> 00:29:56.375 align:center
Okay.

00:29:56.875 --> 00:29:57.791 align:center
Um…

00:29:58.583 --> 00:29:59.625 align:center
"Dear Tom."

00:30:01.083 --> 00:30:05.458 align:center
"I… got to pondering your request

00:30:05.541 --> 00:30:08.625 align:center
for a subtitle on the cover of the book

00:30:08.708 --> 00:30:10.583 align:center
until I saw the light,

00:30:10.666 --> 00:30:14.125 align:center
and the most holy and terrible
of all things came forth,

00:30:14.208 --> 00:30:15.291 align:center
honesty."

00:30:15.791 --> 00:30:19.291 align:center
"Your idiotic suggestion
of a subtitle on the book's cover

00:30:19.375 --> 00:30:23.791 align:center
denoting that it's non-fiction
is the dumbest thing I've ever heard."

00:30:23.875 --> 00:30:27.416 align:center
Are you sure, Mr.-- I mean, Nick?

00:30:27.500 --> 00:30:29.833 align:center
You don't want to think this over
for a while?

00:30:29.916 --> 00:30:30.833 align:center
Maybe you're tired.

00:30:30.916 --> 00:30:33.125 align:center
Please, just write, okay?

00:30:33.208 --> 00:30:37.916 align:center
"God forbid someone should
browse a book and actually buy it."

00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:41.125 align:center
"And who gives a fuck, anyway?
It's just a fucking book."

00:30:42.125 --> 00:30:44.333 align:center
"Yours sincerely, Nick."

00:30:44.833 --> 00:30:46.333 align:center
Are you sure about this?

00:30:46.416 --> 00:30:47.583 align:center
Yes.

00:30:47.666 --> 00:30:50.000 align:center
Thank you, Giulietta. Bye.

00:30:50.083 --> 00:30:50.958 align:center
Ciao.

00:30:51.041 --> 00:30:55.250 align:center
People make up stories
when they don't have the right answers.

00:30:55.333 --> 00:30:56.166 align:center
Still to come…

00:30:58.833 --> 00:31:01.208 align:center
Joe, this is Nick,
the guy I was telling you about.

00:31:01.291 --> 00:31:02.375 align:center
Hello.

00:31:02.458 --> 00:31:03.666 align:center
Gentlemen.

00:31:10.458 --> 00:31:13.291 align:center
-Is that real?
-Rembrandt, self-portrait.

00:31:13.958 --> 00:31:16.083 align:center
Do you like that painting, Nick?

00:31:18.791 --> 00:31:21.916 align:center
I gotta tell you,
to me, it's a piece of shit.

00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:24.833 align:center
Don't get me wrong,
I'd love to own it long enough to sell it,

00:31:24.916 --> 00:31:27.750 align:center
but-- but no, no, to be perfectly honest,

00:31:27.833 --> 00:31:29.041 align:center
no, I don't like it.

00:31:29.125 --> 00:31:30.791 align:center
I think we're gonna get along.

00:31:30.875 --> 00:31:34.250 align:center
You two obviously know
nothing about painting.

00:31:34.333 --> 00:31:38.083 align:center
What about The Divine Comedy?
You like that, Nick?

00:31:38.666 --> 00:31:40.458 align:center
Yeah, yeah, I like it.

00:31:40.541 --> 00:31:42.666 align:center
I used to love it. Now I like it.

00:31:44.500 --> 00:31:45.875 align:center
What changed?

00:31:47.750 --> 00:31:50.916 align:center
You look at anything long enough,
no matter how beautiful it is,

00:31:51.666 --> 00:31:53.208 align:center
you see what's wrong with it.

00:31:54.083 --> 00:31:56.625 align:center
A broad, poem, your life,

00:31:56.708 --> 00:31:59.458 align:center
look at anything long enough,
you see what's wrong with it.

00:32:01.416 --> 00:32:03.875 align:center
How would you like
to look at the real thing?

00:32:06.583 --> 00:32:08.541 align:center
What do you mean, the real thing?

00:32:08.625 --> 00:32:10.416 align:center
The real thing.

00:32:10.500 --> 00:32:12.916 align:center
The original manuscript.

00:32:13.791 --> 00:32:15.083 align:center
Doesn't exist.

00:32:15.583 --> 00:32:19.708 align:center
Probably got thrown into a fireplace
to keep somebody warm about 620 years ago.

00:32:20.833 --> 00:32:25.166 align:center
Yeah, there isn't even anything that
Dante ever wrote in his own hand, nothing.

00:32:25.250 --> 00:32:26.875 align:center
If it did exist,

00:32:26.958 --> 00:32:29.541 align:center
how much do you think it would be worth?

00:32:31.166 --> 00:32:32.958 align:center
It'd be priceless.

00:32:33.500 --> 00:32:35.958 align:center
A thousand of those fucking things, maybe.

00:32:36.041 --> 00:32:38.333 align:center
It'd be the greatest literary treasure
of all time.

00:32:38.416 --> 00:32:41.625 align:center
It'd be like the Vatican trying
to put a price on Michelangelo's Pietà.

00:32:41.708 --> 00:32:44.833 align:center
Not possible. It's unthinkable.
Nobody could even afford it.

00:32:49.291 --> 00:32:51.291 align:center
We'll make it affordable.

00:32:53.333 --> 00:32:55.416 align:center
I'll lay it out for you.

00:32:56.291 --> 00:32:58.583 align:center
There was a guy called Don Lecco.

00:33:00.750 --> 00:33:02.916 align:center
Under his own family roof,

00:33:03.000 --> 00:33:08.583 align:center
he shot and killed his own father,
who had disgraced his beloved mother.

00:33:08.666 --> 00:33:10.000 align:center
Father!

00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:16.125 align:center
Shh!

00:33:18.250 --> 00:33:20.291 align:center
Shut up! Shut up!

00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:22.166 align:center
Help!

00:33:24.291 --> 00:33:25.875 align:center
Help!

00:33:27.833 --> 00:33:29.250 align:center
Help!

00:33:29.875 --> 00:33:31.208 align:center
Shut up!

00:33:32.375 --> 00:33:34.750 align:center
No!

00:33:34.833 --> 00:33:36.625 align:center
Help!

00:33:37.583 --> 00:33:39.416 align:center
Help!

00:33:40.375 --> 00:33:44.916 align:center
Afterwards, he dragged
the body out and laid it on the street,

00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:48.500 align:center
close to the front door,
which he left open.

00:33:55.166 --> 00:33:56.166 align:center
Thanks.

00:34:11.958 --> 00:34:13.875 align:center
In the days that followed,

00:34:13.958 --> 00:34:17.708 align:center
he killed all those
who had come from near and far

00:34:17.791 --> 00:34:22.541 align:center
to claim the body
and deliver a respectful burial.

00:34:22.625 --> 00:34:24.833 align:center
They all laid bloated and rotting

00:34:24.916 --> 00:34:30.458 align:center
until the street was filled with the stink
and garbage of their bodies.

00:35:03.125 --> 00:35:07.166 align:center
Finally, there came
three gentlemen from Palermo,

00:35:07.250 --> 00:35:10.750 align:center
not dressed in the suits
of mourning black,

00:35:10.833 --> 00:35:13.416 align:center
but in the suits of white linen.

00:35:14.416 --> 00:35:18.750 align:center
Only the one who was the leader
raised an open hand

00:35:18.833 --> 00:35:21.750 align:center
to the armed man in the doorway.

00:35:24.458 --> 00:35:27.750 align:center
These men did not remove
their hats in respect

00:35:27.833 --> 00:35:30.541 align:center
as they stood at a distance

00:35:30.625 --> 00:35:35.833 align:center
from the now putrid body
of this man they had served.

00:35:53.791 --> 00:35:58.916 align:center
This is how Don Lecco became
the father of that town,

00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:02.791 align:center
controlling it for many years
with loving hands.

00:36:18.708 --> 00:36:20.750 align:center
That was a long time ago.

00:36:21.416 --> 00:36:24.875 align:center
Few could recall the bloodshed.

00:36:26.333 --> 00:36:28.916 align:center
Most remembered his kindness.

00:36:48.333 --> 00:36:54.583 align:center
So anyways, he takes in this young kid
who he thought had potential for the life.

00:36:54.666 --> 00:36:56.958 align:center
But being the bookish type,

00:36:57.041 --> 00:36:59.458 align:center
the kid only wanted to serve God.

00:36:59.541 --> 00:37:06.541 align:center
So Don Lecco ends up setting him up
working for the Vatican with a good job.

00:37:13.250 --> 00:37:14.333 align:center
Of course,

00:37:15.166 --> 00:37:17.416 align:center
Don Lecco eventually figures out

00:37:17.500 --> 00:37:21.333 align:center
that the kid is probably
not going to be a big earner.

00:37:24.250 --> 00:37:26.625 align:center
But then he hits pay dirt.

00:38:42.208 --> 00:38:48.250 align:center
"In the middle
of the journey of our life…"

00:38:52.916 --> 00:38:58.208 align:center
"In the middle
of the journey of our life…"

00:38:59.208 --> 00:39:06.208 align:center
The original manuscript
of Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy.

00:39:10.458 --> 00:39:11.458 align:center
So…

00:39:13.041 --> 00:39:18.916 align:center
I want you to go there,
get it, and bring it back.

00:39:39.208 --> 00:39:42.541 align:center
Hey, you ever take
that flying sardine can to Palermo?

00:39:42.625 --> 00:39:43.958 align:center
Yeah, I hate that flight.

00:39:44.041 --> 00:39:45.500 align:center
Oh, can't handle it.

00:39:46.666 --> 00:39:50.583 align:center
-That's why I got us this Gulfstream.
-Wait until we're off the ground.

00:39:51.583 --> 00:39:52.708 align:center
Shut up.

00:39:52.791 --> 00:39:54.166 align:center
Keep your eyes on the road.

00:40:44.041 --> 00:40:45.750 align:center
Thousand-year-old house.

00:40:47.125 --> 00:40:49.000 align:center
Thousand-year-old trees.

00:40:57.541 --> 00:41:00.208 align:center
Priest looks
about a thousand years old too.

00:41:11.500 --> 00:41:13.958 align:center
-Good morning, Father.
-Good morning. Come in!

00:41:43.791 --> 00:41:44.791 align:center
Don Lecco.

00:42:03.500 --> 00:42:05.500 align:center
The Americans have arrived.

00:42:09.791 --> 00:42:11.666 align:center
Good morning, Don Lecco.

00:42:30.708 --> 00:42:33.625 align:center
Uh, can, uh, I-- Can we have a cup of tea?

00:42:35.250 --> 00:42:36.250 align:center
Thanks.

00:42:39.750 --> 00:42:40.916 align:center
Take it.

00:42:45.333 --> 00:42:47.000 align:center
Show it to them.

00:42:52.166 --> 00:42:53.291 align:center
Thanks.

00:43:58.625 --> 00:44:00.916 align:center
I feel that all is right.

00:44:08.041 --> 00:44:08.958 align:center
Thanks.

00:44:21.541 --> 00:44:23.250 align:center
Put the box in the bag.

00:44:30.875 --> 00:44:32.208 align:center
Come on, come on.

00:44:32.291 --> 00:44:33.291 align:center
Let's go.

00:44:47.791 --> 00:44:48.666 align:center
Let's go.

00:44:57.583 --> 00:44:58.583 align:center
Passport.

00:45:09.708 --> 00:45:11.041 align:center
Hey, come here.

00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:18.916 align:center
Good.

00:45:19.416 --> 00:45:20.416 align:center
Come on.

00:45:22.125 --> 00:45:23.333 align:center
Help me with this.

00:45:24.375 --> 00:45:25.875 align:center
Come on, come on.

00:45:33.958 --> 00:45:37.000 align:center
Hey, guys, come on!
Let's get him out of here!

00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:46.291 align:center
Hey, Fabrizio.

00:45:47.916 --> 00:45:49.791 align:center
Leave the bags in the back.

00:46:02.958 --> 00:46:04.208 align:center
Grab the bags.

00:46:35.416 --> 00:46:37.041 align:center
This is living, kid.

00:46:37.708 --> 00:46:39.541 align:center
Almost over the Atlantic.

00:46:44.916 --> 00:46:45.916 align:center
Thanks.

00:46:52.750 --> 00:46:54.583 align:center
Why'd you kill the dog?

00:46:57.750 --> 00:46:59.250 align:center
Why'd I kill the dog?

00:47:00.208 --> 00:47:03.250 align:center
Because… dogs bark.

00:47:13.666 --> 00:47:15.750 align:center
You know, this Don Lecco thing

00:47:15.833 --> 00:47:19.083 align:center
probably going to start a war
over there in Palermo.

00:47:19.708 --> 00:47:21.625 align:center
You asked me about the mutt.

00:47:23.041 --> 00:47:24.916 align:center
We don't need some mutt barking at us

00:47:25.000 --> 00:47:26.916 align:center
while we're sneaking our way
out of a massacre.

00:47:27.000 --> 00:47:28.333 align:center
Simple as that.

00:47:32.000 --> 00:47:33.208 align:center
You like dogs?

00:47:34.791 --> 00:47:37.375 align:center
-Of course I like dogs.
-Yeah, me too.

00:47:38.541 --> 00:47:40.875 align:center
I don't like
those little fucking mutant things,

00:47:40.958 --> 00:47:42.583 align:center
you know, you see in New York.

00:47:44.208 --> 00:47:47.666 align:center
I don't think real dogs
want to be cooped up in apartments.

00:47:49.250 --> 00:47:50.791 align:center
I think people that, uh--

00:47:50.875 --> 00:47:54.666 align:center
people that keep big dogs
locked up in the city are stupid creeps

00:47:54.750 --> 00:47:58.166 align:center
that are killing their own dogs,
but they're doing it slow.

00:47:59.375 --> 00:48:02.458 align:center
Now, if I lived in the country,
I would have a dog,

00:48:02.541 --> 00:48:05.833 align:center
but I would have a real dog
like the-- like the one we just shot.

00:48:05.916 --> 00:48:08.833 align:center
What do you mean the one "we" shot?
I didn't shoot that dog. You did.

00:48:10.666 --> 00:48:12.166 align:center
You're an accessory.

00:48:12.666 --> 00:48:15.333 align:center
You're an accessory to murder
in the first degree.

00:48:17.833 --> 00:48:18.750 align:center
Mm.

00:48:22.166 --> 00:48:24.000 align:center
You know what's disgusting, though?

00:48:24.500 --> 00:48:28.916 align:center
You know those broads that hold
their newspapers under the dogs' asses?

00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:30.916 align:center
You know, when the dog takes a shit?

00:48:33.250 --> 00:48:36.583 align:center
Or you see some really good-looking
piece of head walking by,

00:48:36.666 --> 00:48:40.958 align:center
and you see she's got a little plastic bag
of dog shit in her hand.

00:48:42.291 --> 00:48:47.333 align:center
I think anybody who knowingly has
any physical contact with a dog-shit broad

00:48:47.416 --> 00:48:49.458 align:center
is definitely fucking sick.

00:48:50.583 --> 00:48:53.375 align:center
A guy who fucks a stiff
ain't nothing compared to a guy

00:48:53.458 --> 00:48:55.833 align:center
who holds hands with a dog-shit broad.

00:48:56.958 --> 00:48:58.041 align:center
You ever do that?

00:49:01.666 --> 00:49:02.666 align:center
Do what?

00:49:04.083 --> 00:49:05.250 align:center
Fuck a stiff?

00:49:08.458 --> 00:49:09.458 align:center
Nah.

00:49:11.083 --> 00:49:12.458 align:center
But I thought about it.

00:49:14.625 --> 00:49:16.791 align:center
And a few times, I took their underwear.

00:49:16.875 --> 00:49:18.291 align:center
-Their underwear?
-Yeah.

00:49:18.375 --> 00:49:21.291 align:center
I used it to jerk off.
You know, if they were real dolls.

00:49:26.625 --> 00:49:30.291 align:center
Ain't like I get sent out to do
a lot of good-looking broads anyway.

00:50:05.500 --> 00:50:08.416 align:center
Shall I soon be a lady of the court?

00:50:08.958 --> 00:50:11.583 align:center
In all resplendence, dear Gemma.

00:50:17.666 --> 00:50:18.791 align:center
Who is he?

00:50:19.416 --> 00:50:23.791 align:center
He is the young master
of the highborn line of Alighieri.

00:50:23.875 --> 00:50:26.125 align:center
By Christian name Durante.

00:50:35.250 --> 00:50:39.250 align:center
Tata, why is my hair not like ruby spun?

00:50:39.333 --> 00:50:40.958 align:center
Or my eyes green?

00:50:41.041 --> 00:50:44.666 align:center
Or my skin fair as a noonday cloud?

00:50:46.958 --> 00:50:49.958 align:center
At the sight of Beatrice,
young Dante wrote,

00:50:50.041 --> 00:50:56.125 align:center
"Behold, a deity stronger than I,
who coming, shall rule over me."

00:50:59.625 --> 00:51:00.625 align:center
What?

00:51:03.625 --> 00:51:06.583 align:center
At first sight, he… was crazy about her.

00:51:11.625 --> 00:51:13.375 align:center
What happened to Beatrice?

00:51:14.875 --> 00:51:16.125 align:center
What happened?

00:51:16.208 --> 00:51:20.750 align:center
Well, Dante's first book,
the whole poem's a song for her.

00:51:21.583 --> 00:51:22.833 align:center
Though they never spoke.

00:51:22.916 --> 00:51:25.208 align:center
She died young
before they ever had a chance.

00:51:25.291 --> 00:51:28.000 align:center
But she lived in his book.

00:51:28.500 --> 00:51:30.958 align:center
She was his guide through paradise.

00:51:35.416 --> 00:51:36.625 align:center
The other one?

00:51:42.000 --> 00:51:43.375 align:center
Gemma.

00:51:43.458 --> 00:51:46.625 align:center
He married her
and never wrote a word about her.

00:51:53.458 --> 00:51:55.125 align:center
Guido.

00:51:55.208 --> 00:51:56.500 align:center
My friend.

00:52:00.958 --> 00:52:03.708 align:center
You have revealed yourself
to be no one's friend,

00:52:04.375 --> 00:52:05.500 align:center
but your own.

00:52:06.333 --> 00:52:08.125 align:center
For I've been damned

00:52:08.625 --> 00:52:11.291 align:center
by the very lips my sonnets took to sigh.

00:52:12.291 --> 00:52:15.000 align:center
There are six priors. I am but one.

00:52:16.291 --> 00:52:19.083 align:center
Would you have me
stand in defiance of the others?

00:52:19.708 --> 00:52:21.750 align:center
The people of Florence chose this, not I.

00:52:30.583 --> 00:52:36.791 align:center
Is this… Is this the Florence
that longs for self-rule?

00:52:37.791 --> 00:52:40.083 align:center
I fear she is still a child.

00:52:40.583 --> 00:52:42.666 align:center
I fear a civil war will come.

00:52:51.666 --> 00:52:52.916 align:center
My dear Dante,

00:52:53.541 --> 00:52:56.333 align:center
a sighing messenger of the heart no more.

00:52:57.416 --> 00:53:00.625 align:center
I was once a father
more dear to you than your own.

00:53:01.791 --> 00:53:04.416 align:center
When those you suffer to serve
drive you out,

00:53:06.041 --> 00:53:10.000 align:center
find a nameless man
who calls himself Isaiah.

00:53:13.291 --> 00:53:15.041 align:center
That's my last gift to you.

00:53:55.791 --> 00:53:58.291 align:center
The delegation has arrived, Your Holiness.

00:54:00.208 --> 00:54:03.750 align:center
Ah, bird of Florence.

00:54:38.875 --> 00:54:42.375 align:center
My legates return to me,

00:54:43.000 --> 00:54:44.083 align:center
unheeded,

00:54:44.958 --> 00:54:49.625 align:center
bearing intelligence
that thy "republic" wishes more autonomy

00:54:49.708 --> 00:54:52.166 align:center
to conduct its own affairs.

00:54:53.791 --> 00:54:58.750 align:center
And yet the absence of one master
has made masters of all.

00:55:00.416 --> 00:55:02.500 align:center
What say you of this?

00:55:03.916 --> 00:55:06.125 align:center
A tree is known by its fruit.

00:55:06.833 --> 00:55:11.291 align:center
And our republic's boughs bend
with sweets your holiness craves.

00:55:11.375 --> 00:55:15.083 align:center
Perhaps I should give my scepter
over to the race of poets.

00:55:15.833 --> 00:55:18.708 align:center
Will your rhymes finish St. Peter's dome?

00:55:19.416 --> 00:55:22.000 align:center
Or pay my soldiers in the Holy Land?

00:55:24.541 --> 00:55:27.125 align:center
Perhaps when reclining
on the slopes of Parnassus,

00:55:27.208 --> 00:55:30.958 align:center
thou mayest set
thy utopian fancies in verse.

00:55:31.875 --> 00:55:33.500 align:center
As for Florence,

00:55:34.541 --> 00:55:39.750 align:center
no gentle inducement
will make lion lay with lamb.

00:55:41.291 --> 00:55:43.208 align:center
The city burns.

00:55:43.833 --> 00:55:46.041 align:center
And I weary of its smoke.

00:55:47.375 --> 00:55:51.000 align:center
Ash makes little smoke and poor fuel.

00:55:53.291 --> 00:55:55.000 align:center
If this be so,

00:55:55.875 --> 00:55:59.416 align:center
I absolve you from sight of such calamity.

00:56:01.041 --> 00:56:03.000 align:center
How so, Your Holiness?

00:56:03.833 --> 00:56:08.041 align:center
I grant a boon
in exchange for thy insolence.

00:56:08.125 --> 00:56:13.916 align:center
As such native talent renders you
ill-suited for the bane of public service,

00:56:14.875 --> 00:56:17.375 align:center
Florence deserves thee not.

00:56:17.916 --> 00:56:19.291 align:center
Forget her.

00:56:19.375 --> 00:56:23.958 align:center
For it is she that has betrayed you,
though I pass her sentence.

00:56:26.750 --> 00:56:30.583 align:center
Forgive me, Your Holiness,
if I have spoken rashly.

00:56:30.666 --> 00:56:33.250 align:center
Turn from her as Lot did,

00:56:33.333 --> 00:56:35.208 align:center
and gaze not in remembrance,

00:56:35.291 --> 00:56:38.541 align:center
lest your soul become
a pillar of salty tears

00:56:38.625 --> 00:56:42.208 align:center
that hinder the sweetness of thy verse.

00:56:44.750 --> 00:56:47.958 align:center
For death awaits thy homecoming.

00:56:51.791 --> 00:56:54.083 align:center
I place the mark of Cain upon thee.

00:56:56.083 --> 00:56:57.166 align:center
Depart from my sight.

00:57:15.250 --> 00:57:18.166 align:center
You're ordered
to vacate the premises immediately.

00:57:19.625 --> 00:57:21.208 align:center
By whose authority?

00:57:21.291 --> 00:57:22.583 align:center
Mine.

00:57:22.666 --> 00:57:23.833 align:center
The Pope.

00:57:23.916 --> 00:57:27.541 align:center
You have 20 minutes to get
all you and your children can carry.

00:57:28.291 --> 00:57:29.291 align:center
A carriage awaits you

00:57:29.375 --> 00:57:32.791 align:center
to take you to the estate
of Cangrande della Scala of Verona.

00:58:30.458 --> 00:58:32.791 align:center
Upon the ground thou starest.

00:58:34.625 --> 00:58:37.125 align:center
Is it hell that welcomes thine eye?

00:58:37.208 --> 00:58:39.500 align:center
Or wilt thou gaze heavenward?

00:58:43.666 --> 00:58:47.541 align:center
Beware, lest thy wandering eye
fall upon your wife's despair.

00:58:55.166 --> 00:58:57.500 align:center
Your friend Cavalcanti is dead.

00:58:59.416 --> 00:59:00.416 align:center
Dead?

00:59:17.083 --> 00:59:19.291 align:center
Was not the blood of friendship
of greater value

00:59:19.375 --> 00:59:21.875 align:center
than the honeyed wine of verse?

00:59:37.625 --> 00:59:41.375 align:center
My dear dead Cavalcanti, forgive me.

00:59:41.875 --> 00:59:45.750 align:center
Had I not made such a fool of myself,
maybe you would still be alive.

00:59:46.541 --> 00:59:50.416 align:center
I will find the man with no name
who calls himself Isaiah.

01:00:03.291 --> 01:00:05.583 align:center
Sofia is their true mother.

01:00:06.666 --> 01:00:10.375 align:center
Yet the children of my kind turn from her,

01:00:11.416 --> 01:00:12.833 align:center
never to know her.

01:00:14.666 --> 01:00:18.791 align:center
Pharaoh, yes,
as the book of Exodus tells us,

01:00:19.708 --> 01:00:23.458 align:center
killed every firstborn among the Jews.

01:00:25.500 --> 01:00:29.208 align:center
But the false god of this new world,

01:00:30.041 --> 01:00:32.291 align:center
which is gross commerce…

01:00:34.166 --> 01:00:35.125 align:center
shall claim them all…

01:00:37.250 --> 01:00:38.416 align:center
every-born…

01:00:40.708 --> 01:00:42.083 align:center
and no Moses,

01:00:43.250 --> 01:00:47.708 align:center
set adrift in swaddling
amid the bulrushes,

01:00:48.416 --> 01:00:49.833 align:center
shall escape…

01:00:52.125 --> 01:00:55.833 align:center
lead, and rejoin them to God.

01:01:06.500 --> 01:01:09.041 align:center
The Arab is the new Jew.

01:01:18.708 --> 01:01:21.625 align:center
For a Christian to be
in communion with a Jew,

01:01:22.250 --> 01:01:27.125 align:center
with the seeking of what the church
may see as magic most heretical,

01:01:27.208 --> 01:01:28.791 align:center
unholy and black,

01:01:30.375 --> 01:01:33.625 align:center
it could mean anathema and death.

01:01:35.166 --> 01:01:38.000 align:center
First they will kill me, and then you.

01:01:46.458 --> 01:01:50.166 align:center
By this oath,
we both might be saved from death,

01:01:50.250 --> 01:01:52.375 align:center
so we might then live to die.

01:03:06.666 --> 01:03:10.416 align:center
No word or gesture
had ever stricken me so deeply.

01:03:11.666 --> 01:03:16.250 align:center
In this seeming dismissal,
I felt more shame than anger.

01:03:16.791 --> 01:03:22.041 align:center
My soul roiled with fear and unsureness
and damnations of myself.

01:03:22.791 --> 01:03:27.125 align:center
This lesson in the form
of a silent blow of nothingness.

01:03:34.375 --> 01:03:37.250 align:center
"Thus begins a new life."

01:03:41.208 --> 01:03:44.500 align:center
Thus begins a new life.

01:03:47.291 --> 01:03:49.791 align:center
Thus begins a new life.

01:04:13.416 --> 01:04:15.250 align:center
Authenticated?

01:04:15.333 --> 01:04:17.666 align:center
What do you mean, authenticated?

01:04:18.208 --> 01:04:20.208 align:center
Looks pretty old to me.

01:04:20.791 --> 01:04:22.583 align:center
Yeah, it looks old to me too.

01:04:22.666 --> 01:04:25.125 align:center
It looks real to me,
but that ain't enough.

01:04:25.208 --> 01:04:28.333 align:center
We need paperwork, high-class paperwork,
as much as we can get.

01:04:30.041 --> 01:04:31.875 align:center
Ah, shit.

01:04:32.916 --> 01:04:36.625 align:center
Here I am committing
nine kinds of mortal fucking sins,

01:04:36.708 --> 01:04:38.708 align:center
taking all kinds
of non-smoking plane rides,

01:04:38.791 --> 01:04:40.958 align:center
and this thing might not even be real?

01:04:41.458 --> 01:04:44.666 align:center
I gotta tell you, I am truly
getting sick of this no-smoking shit.

01:04:44.750 --> 01:04:47.041 align:center
Don't worry, Louie,
I can take care of this part myself.

01:04:47.125 --> 01:04:49.833 align:center
I think if-- if we're gonna do this,

01:04:49.916 --> 01:04:51.250 align:center
we should do it right.

01:04:51.750 --> 01:04:54.083 align:center
Nick knows how to do it right,
that's why he's here.

01:04:54.166 --> 01:04:58.208 align:center
We at least gotta prove this thing was
written at the same time Dante wrote it.

01:04:58.291 --> 01:05:00.083 align:center
And how do we do that?

01:05:00.166 --> 01:05:03.041 align:center
Carbon-14 dating, watermarks.

01:05:03.125 --> 01:05:06.333 align:center
We take it to the University of Arizona
and then to this place in Illinois

01:05:06.416 --> 01:05:10.125 align:center
that's the most respected
technical analysis joint in the world.

01:05:10.208 --> 01:05:13.375 align:center
But first, I gotta go back to Italy,
and I gotta get dated documents

01:05:13.458 --> 01:05:16.916 align:center
written when and where
Dante would have written this.

01:05:17.000 --> 01:05:19.458 align:center
That way the ink and the parchment
could be compared.

01:05:19.541 --> 01:05:21.875 align:center
Then I'll have the watermarks
on the paper dated.

01:05:21.958 --> 01:05:25.041 align:center
There's no handwriting of Dante's
with which to compare this handwriting,

01:05:25.125 --> 01:05:28.083 align:center
so we need
as much circumstantial evidence,

01:05:28.166 --> 01:05:30.500 align:center
as much authentication as possible.

01:05:31.083 --> 01:05:35.416 align:center
And how are you gonna get
these dated documents?

01:05:37.125 --> 01:05:38.166 align:center
Steal them.

01:05:39.416 --> 01:05:42.458 align:center
Look, I don't care where you're from.
I know where I like to stay.

01:05:42.541 --> 01:05:44.416 align:center
I've been going there for 20 years.

01:05:44.500 --> 01:05:46.500 align:center
You're supposed to know this stuff.

01:05:46.583 --> 01:05:47.916 align:center
I'm on my way to the airport.

01:05:48.000 --> 01:05:50.083 align:center
You should've called Anna
like I asked you to.

01:05:51.416 --> 01:05:54.583 align:center
Well, I don't know.
We'll have time for that later.

01:05:55.125 --> 01:05:56.791 align:center
No. No, I didn't.

01:06:00.416 --> 01:06:02.208 align:center
All right, okay, all right.

01:06:02.291 --> 01:06:03.416 align:center
Hey, look, it's okay.

01:06:03.500 --> 01:06:04.583 align:center
It's okay, calm down.

01:06:04.666 --> 01:06:05.708 align:center
I'm sorry.

01:06:06.291 --> 01:06:07.916 align:center
I'm sorry. I know you're new.

01:06:09.041 --> 01:06:11.041 align:center
Did-- Did you send out that letter?

01:06:12.083 --> 01:06:13.791 align:center
Good, thank you.

01:06:14.666 --> 01:06:17.625 align:center
I'll call you when I get
to the, uh, other side, all right?

01:06:18.125 --> 01:06:20.166 align:center
Just don't forget
to bring my prescription.

01:06:21.375 --> 01:06:22.291 align:center
Thank you.

01:06:23.625 --> 01:06:25.208 align:center
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

01:07:38.958 --> 01:07:41.708 align:center
-Good morning.
-Good morning. Mr. Tosches?

01:07:41.791 --> 01:07:44.500 align:center
-Yes, nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you too.

01:07:44.583 --> 01:07:46.708 align:center
As I mentioned,
I'm looking to, uh, examine

01:07:46.791 --> 01:07:49.416 align:center
official documents
from the court of Cangrande della Scala,

01:07:49.500 --> 01:07:52.541 align:center
uh, between the years of 1313-1315.

01:07:52.625 --> 01:07:53.666 align:center
We're ready.

01:07:53.750 --> 01:07:55.375 align:center
-Right this way.
-Thank you.

01:07:55.458 --> 01:07:59.125 align:center
I bet you've seen the cloud we make

01:07:59.208 --> 01:08:01.833 align:center
That covers up LA

01:08:02.583 --> 01:08:05.958 align:center
I wonder if you'll hide behind

01:08:06.041 --> 01:08:09.583 align:center
A shroud like that some day

01:08:10.125 --> 01:08:13.458 align:center
-Oh well
-It might be tomorrow

01:08:13.541 --> 01:08:17.375 align:center
-Oh well
-I just don't know

01:08:17.458 --> 01:08:19.666 align:center
-Oh well
-It might take years

01:08:19.750 --> 01:08:24.125 align:center
I wonder when
They're going to destroy your face

01:08:26.041 --> 01:08:28.458 align:center
1310 to1330.

01:08:30.000 --> 01:08:32.583 align:center
-1310 to 1315.
-Mm.

01:08:34.583 --> 01:08:36.000 align:center
1315.

01:08:36.791 --> 01:08:38.708 align:center
Good work
and good luck with your research.

01:08:38.791 --> 01:08:40.041 align:center
Thanks a lot.

01:09:10.333 --> 01:09:12.333 align:center
-Everything okay?
-Oh, this is…

01:09:12.416 --> 01:09:14.250 align:center
It's exactly what I was looking for.

01:09:15.208 --> 01:09:16.916 align:center
-See you later.
-Thank you.

01:09:24.916 --> 01:09:26.458 align:center
Same blue suit,

01:09:26.541 --> 01:09:27.583 align:center
same story.

01:09:28.166 --> 01:09:32.958 align:center
This time, I lifted documents
from 1316, 1318, and 1321.

01:09:33.041 --> 01:09:37.083 align:center
Documents executed
by Guido Novello da Polenta, correct?

01:09:37.166 --> 01:09:39.708 align:center
-Correct. Thank you very much.
-My pleasure, sir.

01:09:42.291 --> 01:09:44.333 align:center
Hello, Giulietta?

01:09:44.416 --> 01:09:47.541 align:center
Yeah, what the hell's going on?
Where are you? Is everything okay?

01:09:47.625 --> 01:09:49.833 align:center
The concierge told me
you canceled our rooms.

01:09:49.916 --> 01:09:51.416 align:center
Do you have my prescription?

01:09:52.375 --> 01:09:55.916 align:center
I wish you'd stop worrying
so much. I'm taking care of everything.

01:09:56.000 --> 01:09:58.958 align:center
I'm staying somewhere else
outside of Ravenna.

01:10:00.166 --> 01:10:01.166 align:center
Okay.

01:10:02.416 --> 01:10:03.958 align:center
Should I go there?

01:10:04.041 --> 01:10:06.958 align:center
Yes, it's not far.
I'll be waiting for you.

01:10:07.500 --> 01:10:09.875 align:center
What's the address?
Do you have a piece of paper?

01:10:14.166 --> 01:10:15.041 align:center
What is it?

01:10:57.291 --> 01:10:58.333 align:center
Nick.

01:10:59.666 --> 01:11:01.083 align:center
Are you all right?

01:11:03.375 --> 01:11:04.833 align:center
Yeah, forgive me. Sorry.

01:11:04.916 --> 01:11:06.041 align:center
It's just, um…

01:11:09.416 --> 01:11:12.333 align:center
There's something familiar
about this place. It's just, uh…

01:11:13.833 --> 01:11:17.125 align:center
I don't know, it reminds me
of something I can't quite get a grip on.

01:11:17.750 --> 01:11:18.916 align:center
Familiar?

01:11:19.833 --> 01:11:20.666 align:center
How?

01:11:20.750 --> 01:11:21.916 align:center
I don't know.

01:11:22.791 --> 01:11:24.750 align:center
It just happens to me sometimes.

01:11:25.250 --> 01:11:30.208 align:center
Kind of… wisp of a memory
that can't be caught before it fades away.

01:11:30.291 --> 01:11:31.250 align:center
Mm.

01:11:32.375 --> 01:11:33.541 align:center
Well…

01:11:34.541 --> 01:11:37.666 align:center
familiar is good, like home.

01:11:37.750 --> 01:11:39.083 align:center
Mm.

01:11:39.166 --> 01:11:41.000 align:center
It's why I brought you here.

01:11:41.958 --> 01:11:43.041 align:center
Why?

01:11:44.250 --> 01:11:45.708 align:center
Because I live here.

01:11:46.208 --> 01:11:47.833 align:center
I always lived here.

01:11:48.708 --> 01:11:51.333 align:center
The seasons change, but nothing else.

01:11:52.583 --> 01:11:54.833 align:center
I came to New York to help Anna.

01:11:55.791 --> 01:11:57.875 align:center
Yeah, look, uh, I'm sorry I was such a…

01:11:57.958 --> 01:11:59.333 align:center
Don't apologize.

01:11:59.916 --> 01:12:00.958 align:center
…asshole.

01:12:04.458 --> 01:12:06.541 align:center
Anna's like family, so…

01:12:06.625 --> 01:12:09.166 align:center
If you trusted her, you'll trust me.

01:12:12.666 --> 01:12:13.708 align:center
Come.

01:12:30.291 --> 01:12:33.500 align:center
Yeah, I guess it's nice
to have a home to come back to.

01:12:33.583 --> 01:12:35.083 align:center
I never had that.

01:12:37.291 --> 01:12:39.625 align:center
Maybe you do, and you just don't know it.

01:12:42.375 --> 01:12:43.375 align:center
-Hmm?
-Wow.

01:12:43.958 --> 01:12:46.083 align:center
-Good, hmm?
-That's pretty good.

01:12:47.875 --> 01:12:50.208 align:center
I was never the domestic type, but…

01:12:51.666 --> 01:12:54.125 align:center
I look at you that way, and I think,

01:12:54.208 --> 01:12:57.541 align:center
"I don't know, maybe I could've done that.
Maybe I was a fool."

01:12:58.166 --> 01:12:59.541 align:center
Maybe you were.

01:13:00.583 --> 01:13:02.375 align:center
Maybe you still can be.

01:13:03.250 --> 01:13:05.625 align:center
But you're definitely a fool.

01:13:12.291 --> 01:13:13.291 align:center
Wow.

01:13:14.791 --> 01:13:15.791 align:center
You know,

01:13:16.833 --> 01:13:19.541 align:center
no matter how far away from home you go,

01:13:19.625 --> 01:13:22.375 align:center
you look up,
and the moon's always got the same face.

01:13:24.958 --> 01:13:26.083 align:center
Look at that.

01:13:30.375 --> 01:13:31.500 align:center
Mm.

01:13:32.750 --> 01:13:36.041 align:center
-Maybe the cloud is jealous.
-A-ha.

01:13:36.125 --> 01:13:38.416 align:center
Mm-hmm.

01:13:39.250 --> 01:13:42.375 align:center
The moon itself waxes with envy,

01:13:42.458 --> 01:13:44.916 align:center
as you've stolen her radiance.

01:13:47.166 --> 01:13:51.250 align:center
And unlike the fountain's frail image…

01:13:54.291 --> 01:13:58.750 align:center
…you shine… unbroken
when I touch the water.

01:14:10.375 --> 01:14:13.541 align:center
Feel how though my lips are silent…

01:14:15.083 --> 01:14:16.791 align:center
my heart answers.

01:14:20.458 --> 01:14:22.458 align:center
One needn't speak.

01:14:23.666 --> 01:14:25.083 align:center
Only breathe.

01:14:55.625 --> 01:14:58.666 align:center
If I could write paradise,
she is what I would write.

01:14:59.166 --> 01:15:02.083 align:center
But my sins meant
there was no time to waste.

01:15:02.583 --> 01:15:06.541 align:center
When I looked upon her beauty,
I realized I was the only stain.

01:15:06.625 --> 01:15:09.250 align:center
And so I left her then, vowing to save her

01:15:09.333 --> 01:15:12.208 align:center
from the knife-wielding child
that lay within me.

01:15:12.750 --> 01:15:13.708 align:center
I didn't deserve her,

01:15:13.791 --> 01:15:16.291 align:center
and she didn't deserve
the trouble I was bringing.

01:15:25.250 --> 01:15:26.625 align:center
There in the middle.

01:15:28.125 --> 01:15:32.375 align:center
In the late 14th century, the finest paper
was produced here in Fabriano.

01:15:32.458 --> 01:15:33.333 align:center
See.

01:15:34.791 --> 01:15:38.666 align:center
Many courts and noble families
began to order fine paper,

01:15:38.750 --> 01:15:41.125 align:center
bearing elements
of their own crests or seals,

01:15:41.208 --> 01:15:43.583 align:center
to distinguish
their paper from all others.

01:15:43.666 --> 01:15:44.750 align:center
Huh.

01:15:45.375 --> 01:15:46.583 align:center
Um…

01:15:48.125 --> 01:15:49.875 align:center
Have a look at this.

01:15:54.375 --> 01:15:55.916 align:center
What do you see there?

01:15:57.125 --> 01:16:00.583 align:center
Oh, this paper is
of especially excellent quality.

01:16:02.250 --> 01:16:04.333 align:center
This filigrana here, look.

01:16:07.041 --> 01:16:07.958 align:center
Right here.

01:16:11.875 --> 01:16:14.875 align:center
Represents the eagle that

01:16:16.083 --> 01:16:21.583 align:center
Guido Novello da Polenta bore
for his coat of arms.

01:16:23.375 --> 01:16:24.541 align:center
You see? Look.

01:16:24.625 --> 01:16:26.416 align:center
-Mm-hmm.
-The same eagle.

01:16:29.458 --> 01:16:34.458 align:center
And it was received
at Fabriano on the 1st of May, 1321,

01:16:34.541 --> 01:16:38.916 align:center
and it was delivered on the third day
of the following month in Ravenna.

01:16:40.708 --> 01:16:41.750 align:center
And…

01:16:44.250 --> 01:16:45.333 align:center
how about these?

01:17:01.250 --> 01:17:02.375 align:center
Uh…

01:17:03.083 --> 01:17:06.041 align:center
Actually, this is the same order as, uh…

01:17:07.791 --> 01:17:13.333 align:center
It was a small order
that was placed only once.

01:17:15.833 --> 01:17:17.083 align:center
Very good. Very good.

01:17:17.166 --> 01:17:18.750 align:center
Well, thank you very much.

01:17:18.833 --> 01:17:20.208 align:center
You're welcome.

01:17:21.500 --> 01:17:24.041 align:center
-Fascinating stuff.
-Yeah.

01:17:25.750 --> 01:17:26.958 align:center
-Good day.
-Uh…

01:17:42.916 --> 01:17:46.041 align:center
Lefty's looking better, don't you think?

01:17:47.916 --> 01:17:49.250 align:center
Yeah.

01:17:49.333 --> 01:17:52.000 align:center
Yeah, I've seen guys go through this,
I've seen the guys that beat it,

01:17:52.083 --> 01:17:54.833 align:center
and I can tell you right now, Lefty,
you got it beat.

01:17:54.916 --> 01:17:57.250 align:center
That ditsoon hair of yours
will be back in no time.

01:18:00.333 --> 01:18:03.208 align:center
You're turning into
a real pain in the ass to clean up after

01:18:03.291 --> 01:18:05.958 align:center
with all this authentication shit.

01:18:07.375 --> 01:18:09.916 align:center
-What are you talking about?
-What am I talking about?

01:18:10.000 --> 01:18:13.708 align:center
I'm talking about
the fucking guy in Verona,

01:18:13.791 --> 01:18:16.291 align:center
the Brioni suit and the Berluti shoes.

01:18:17.291 --> 01:18:18.791 align:center
Talking about the guy in Ravenna

01:18:18.875 --> 01:18:21.708 align:center
and that assistant of his
who brought you that heap of shit.

01:18:22.791 --> 01:18:25.833 align:center
I had to put the two of them
in a sack together at gunpoint.

01:18:26.875 --> 01:18:28.541 align:center
Know what a pain in the ass that is?

01:18:28.625 --> 01:18:31.166 align:center
Both of them jumping around,
on their knees, begging,

01:18:31.250 --> 01:18:33.166 align:center
pissing, crying,
all over the fucking place.

01:18:35.625 --> 01:18:37.875 align:center
-Broad had a wedding ring on.
-Are you--

01:18:37.958 --> 01:18:39.833 align:center
Her husband's taking a little heat now.

01:18:39.916 --> 01:18:42.708 align:center
Are you fucking crazy
or just plain stupid?

01:18:42.791 --> 01:18:45.625 align:center
These people got nothing to do
with nothing, just innocent nobodies.

01:18:45.708 --> 01:18:46.750 align:center
Innocent?

01:18:46.833 --> 01:18:49.416 align:center
What the fuck does innocent got to do
with any of this shit?

01:18:50.000 --> 01:18:53.916 align:center
How come some lackey librarian
gets $5,000 suits

01:18:54.000 --> 01:18:57.500 align:center
and-- and-- and shoes
that cost three grand?

01:18:57.583 --> 01:19:01.458 align:center
Who knows what these people are
or who they're talking to, okay?

01:19:01.541 --> 01:19:03.791 align:center
You're the one leaving tracks here, Nicky.

01:19:03.875 --> 01:19:05.250 align:center
I'm just covering them up.

01:19:05.333 --> 01:19:07.416 align:center
Tracks? What tracks?

01:19:07.500 --> 01:19:10.375 align:center
You're leaving a trail of blood
where there's nothing but dust.

01:19:10.458 --> 01:19:14.041 align:center
Geez, stop, will you? "Trail of blood…"
Give me a fucking break.

01:19:14.125 --> 01:19:16.208 align:center
This shit don't even make the papers.

01:19:16.291 --> 01:19:19.250 align:center
This shit is just forms
that don't get filled out.

01:19:19.333 --> 01:19:20.291 align:center
It's nothing.

01:19:20.375 --> 01:19:26.708 align:center
Whoever can possibly even remotely
connect us with that manuscript…

01:19:26.791 --> 01:19:28.041 align:center
Tabbutu.

01:19:28.125 --> 01:19:29.458 align:center
Tabbutu.

01:19:30.625 --> 01:19:33.458 align:center
Why? Why?

01:19:33.541 --> 01:19:36.791 align:center
We managed to get this thing out of Italy
where the state would've claimed it.

01:19:36.875 --> 01:19:39.250 align:center
No one knows it exists.
No one knows it ever existed.

01:19:39.333 --> 01:19:41.125 align:center
One cannot steal
what's never been missing.

01:19:41.208 --> 01:19:43.708 align:center
One cannot steal what has never existed.

01:19:43.791 --> 01:19:45.250 align:center
As it stands now,

01:19:45.333 --> 01:19:49.208 align:center
this thing is ours, and it is claimed,
and it has never been stolen,

01:19:49.291 --> 01:19:51.666 align:center
and it is beyond the reach
of any national claim to it,

01:19:51.750 --> 01:19:54.000 align:center
and there is
no criminal taint on it whatsoever,

01:19:54.083 --> 01:19:56.333 align:center
either on it or our possession of it.

01:19:56.416 --> 01:19:59.958 align:center
The manuscript is clean, and we're clean,
and we can bring this off clean.

01:20:00.750 --> 01:20:01.916 align:center
Well, there is one thing.

01:20:02.000 --> 01:20:05.708 align:center
Before we start saying grace
and singing hymns,

01:20:05.791 --> 01:20:09.875 align:center
there are people
who know of its existence.

01:20:09.958 --> 01:20:14.500 align:center
Our friends in Palermo
who connected us with it

01:20:14.583 --> 01:20:18.708 align:center
and who are in
for half of whatever we clear.

01:20:20.166 --> 01:20:23.458 align:center
Then why don't you start killing them
instead of a bunch of fucking librarians?

01:20:27.041 --> 01:20:30.375 align:center
-What about that guy in Fabriano?
-Yeah, he got away.

01:20:30.875 --> 01:20:33.666 align:center
He went straight from you
to the airport in Ancona.

01:20:33.750 --> 01:20:34.958 align:center
Gone before I knew it.

01:20:35.041 --> 01:20:37.583 align:center
Well, at least that's one thing
that didn't get fucked up.

01:20:47.916 --> 01:20:50.458 align:center
You see, this is the kind
of authentication we need.

01:20:52.333 --> 01:20:54.958 align:center
Two more analyses, and we're all set.

01:20:55.666 --> 01:20:59.708 align:center
But the sources of this authentication
cannot all turn up dead.

01:21:01.166 --> 01:21:02.250 align:center
What?

01:21:02.333 --> 01:21:03.625 align:center
Come on, don't you think

01:21:03.708 --> 01:21:09.166 align:center
that the almost simultaneous murders
of two library directors

01:21:09.250 --> 01:21:11.541 align:center
might be seen as somehow related?

01:21:12.958 --> 01:21:15.125 align:center
No, I don't.

01:21:17.333 --> 01:21:19.916 align:center
It's senseless, and it's gotta stop.

01:21:20.000 --> 01:21:23.291 align:center
We can't sell this thing
with documents of authentication

01:21:23.375 --> 01:21:25.333 align:center
from internationally known experts

01:21:25.416 --> 01:21:29.250 align:center
that happened to have just been murdered
right after examining this manuscript.

01:21:29.333 --> 01:21:30.833 align:center
It's insane.

01:21:32.541 --> 01:21:36.583 align:center
Look, we're-- we're-- we're getting into
a whole new different world now.

01:21:36.666 --> 01:21:39.875 align:center
There's gotta be
no more blood and no more gunfire.

01:21:41.083 --> 01:21:42.666 align:center
Well, I'm good with that.

01:21:43.208 --> 01:21:45.125 align:center
It's not like I enjoy doing this shit.

01:21:45.208 --> 01:21:52.125 align:center
Forget about this guy in Fabriano.
Uh, what about this broad in Ravenna?

01:21:55.916 --> 01:21:58.083 align:center
That's…
She's got nothing to do with nothing.

01:21:58.166 --> 01:21:59.583 align:center
That's my own personal life.

01:22:01.916 --> 01:22:04.541 align:center
Not on my tab, it isn't.

01:22:04.625 --> 01:22:06.375 align:center
I'll tell you something else.

01:22:06.458 --> 01:22:10.666 align:center
Guys who work for me,
they got no personal lives.

01:22:10.750 --> 01:22:12.625 align:center
It's like they say, Nicky,

01:22:13.375 --> 01:22:16.208 align:center
loose lips sink ships.

01:22:17.291 --> 01:22:22.000 align:center
So finish up this authentication business.

01:22:22.833 --> 01:22:24.625 align:center
Then we'll find our buyer,

01:22:24.708 --> 01:22:28.750 align:center
and then we'll all whistle a merry tune.

01:22:34.541 --> 01:22:37.708 align:center
DIRECTOR OF THE STATE ARCHIVES
DIES UNDER MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES

01:22:54.625 --> 01:22:57.583 align:center
You seem to come to me as one in mourning.

01:22:58.791 --> 01:23:00.291 align:center
I threw my work away.

01:23:01.166 --> 01:23:03.166 align:center
Did I ask you to do that?

01:23:04.958 --> 01:23:06.833 align:center
And you were right too.

01:23:07.625 --> 01:23:09.833 align:center
It was the vainglory of myself.

01:23:11.666 --> 01:23:14.083 align:center
I thought it was about the woman I love.

01:23:14.166 --> 01:23:16.083 align:center
But I barely knew her.

01:23:16.666 --> 01:23:21.041 align:center
We must not mistake
the revelation that our being is bereft

01:23:21.125 --> 01:23:26.000 align:center
for the delusion that we have lost
that of which we've always been bereft.

01:23:27.791 --> 01:23:30.833 align:center
Such a revelation is a blessing.
It's not to be mourned.

01:23:31.333 --> 01:23:33.250 align:center
Countless words of love have I writ

01:23:33.333 --> 01:23:39.125 align:center
that flowed from my pen
like drool from the mouth of one asleep.

01:23:40.541 --> 01:23:44.208 align:center
And yet, not one for her…

01:23:45.958 --> 01:23:48.250 align:center
who had borne me daughter

01:23:49.166 --> 01:23:50.291 align:center
and sons,

01:23:51.958 --> 01:23:55.083 align:center
and hath borne
my fate of exile and hers as well.

01:23:56.958 --> 01:23:59.000 align:center
What do I know of love?

01:23:59.083 --> 01:24:01.250 align:center
My heart is but counterfeit.

01:24:03.791 --> 01:24:07.375 align:center
I have put half of humankind in hell,

01:24:08.500 --> 01:24:13.958 align:center
and, with like strokes of quill,
looked down upon them,

01:24:14.041 --> 01:24:17.416 align:center
aloof and unreachable like God.

01:24:17.500 --> 01:24:19.583 align:center
Oh, God is not aloof.

01:24:20.375 --> 01:24:22.208 align:center
Everything that breathes is God.

01:24:22.291 --> 01:24:23.791 align:center
God is man.

01:24:24.833 --> 01:24:26.166 align:center
This is heresy.

01:24:26.250 --> 01:24:29.250 align:center
Think not of it as… as trespass.

01:24:29.333 --> 01:24:31.041 align:center
Think of it as entry.

01:24:32.333 --> 01:24:38.333 align:center
Because yes, every man's true
and only savior dwells within himself.

01:24:39.083 --> 01:24:41.541 align:center
Whether he discovers him and be saved

01:24:42.333 --> 01:24:44.708 align:center
or discovers him not and be damned.

01:24:45.500 --> 01:24:46.833 align:center
And God is?

01:24:50.375 --> 01:24:51.416 align:center
Aura.

01:24:52.625 --> 01:24:53.666 align:center
Anima.

01:24:55.333 --> 01:24:56.833 align:center
Breath and soul.

01:24:56.916 --> 01:24:58.166 align:center
It's a breeze.

01:24:59.375 --> 01:25:00.541 align:center
Sophia.

01:25:01.458 --> 01:25:02.458 align:center
Wisdom.

01:25:03.291 --> 01:25:05.750 align:center
Under every name, wisdom is feminine.

01:25:06.625 --> 01:25:08.000 align:center
She is a woman.

01:25:08.666 --> 01:25:13.250 align:center
And she was betrayed by the very verses
with which you wrought her chains.

01:25:14.791 --> 01:25:16.791 align:center
You dared to give form to the formless.

01:25:19.500 --> 01:25:21.250 align:center
Chains to the breeze.

01:25:23.291 --> 01:25:27.000 align:center
Well, this breath is the only gift
to see the one life we have.

01:25:27.500 --> 01:25:29.625 align:center
And there's no promise of the next.

01:25:30.708 --> 01:25:32.833 align:center
Life is but a breeze.

01:25:32.916 --> 01:25:36.166 align:center
A child brought to the grave
after but a few summers,

01:25:36.250 --> 01:25:41.041 align:center
may, having drawn but a single breath
under the sky of illimitableness,

01:25:41.125 --> 01:25:45.125 align:center
be said to have lived
a longer and fuller life than he,

01:25:45.208 --> 01:25:48.125 align:center
even if he be king,
who is reckoned to have a hundred years.

01:25:49.041 --> 01:25:50.875 align:center
You know what our main folly is?

01:25:51.375 --> 01:25:52.500 align:center
Tell me.

01:25:52.583 --> 01:25:54.375 align:center
Tempus fugit.

01:25:55.541 --> 01:25:58.416 align:center
"Time flies," is what they say.

01:25:58.500 --> 01:26:01.791 align:center
But it is breath that is the winged thing.

01:26:01.875 --> 01:26:04.041 align:center
It is breath that flies.

01:26:04.125 --> 01:26:08.041 align:center
Time is the folly
of our own vain making and delusion.

01:26:08.125 --> 01:26:12.458 align:center
This anxiety that has come
to rule the pulse and rob the breath.

01:26:16.958 --> 01:26:18.333 align:center
End your search.

01:26:19.208 --> 01:26:23.083 align:center
Come forth from the tomb
of your seeking into the light.

01:26:23.916 --> 01:26:29.083 align:center
And be filled with the scent
of the every blade of grass of your soul

01:26:29.166 --> 01:26:31.625 align:center
and the every moment of life.

01:26:31.708 --> 01:26:33.916 align:center
Come forth and embrace Her.

01:26:35.791 --> 01:26:39.291 align:center
I told you, you won't get into this joint
if you're carrying.

01:26:39.375 --> 01:26:41.208 align:center
You might as well just stay behind.

01:26:43.458 --> 01:26:47.750 align:center
I'm not supposed to let that thing
out of my sight.

01:26:49.000 --> 01:26:51.375 align:center
Well, I guess nobody
trusts my sight, huh, Lou?

01:26:52.791 --> 01:26:54.000 align:center
It ain't that.

01:26:54.750 --> 01:26:56.458 align:center
Look, you do what you want to do.

01:26:56.541 --> 01:26:58.958 align:center
I can't tell
when you're shadowing me anyway.

01:26:59.041 --> 01:26:59.916 align:center
I'm just telling you,

01:27:00.000 --> 01:27:01.958 align:center
you come near this place
with that fucking piece,

01:27:02.041 --> 01:27:04.666 align:center
they're gonna do a lot more
than ask you to check it at the door.

01:27:07.166 --> 01:27:08.833 align:center
What if you don't come back?

01:27:09.333 --> 01:27:11.125 align:center
Who's going to look after me?

01:27:12.916 --> 01:27:14.458 align:center
If I go, who remains?

01:27:14.541 --> 01:27:16.250 align:center
If I remain, who goes?

01:27:16.333 --> 01:27:18.541 align:center
Oh, enough of your fucking riddles.

01:27:19.458 --> 01:27:20.875 align:center
Just get it done.

01:27:31.916 --> 01:27:33.916 align:center
So this is it.

01:27:35.291 --> 01:27:38.208 align:center
Our tandem accelerator mass spectrometer

01:27:38.291 --> 01:27:41.833 align:center
is the most powerful and accurate means
of radiocarbon dating

01:27:41.916 --> 01:27:43.666 align:center
that has yet to be developed.

01:27:44.416 --> 01:27:47.125 align:center
It's here we've dated
the Dead Sea Scrolls.

01:27:47.666 --> 01:27:50.125 align:center
This is the place
that conclusively exposed

01:27:50.208 --> 01:27:53.625 align:center
the Shroud of Turin
as a fabrication of the Middle Ages.

01:27:54.125 --> 01:27:56.458 align:center
This is the place.

01:27:57.166 --> 01:27:58.875 align:center
So how-- how does it work?

01:27:59.375 --> 01:28:03.166 align:center
Carbon-14 dating measures
a radioactive isotope of carbon

01:28:03.250 --> 01:28:04.750 align:center
that was formed in trace amounts

01:28:04.833 --> 01:28:07.416 align:center
by the effect of cosmic rays
on atmospheric nitrogen.

01:28:08.458 --> 01:28:10.416 align:center
It works only on things
that were once alive

01:28:10.500 --> 01:28:13.041 align:center
or that contained material
that was once alive

01:28:13.125 --> 01:28:16.083 align:center
by detecting and measuring
the proportion of the isotope

01:28:16.166 --> 01:28:19.791 align:center
which decreased at a known rate
following the death of the living thing.

01:28:19.875 --> 01:28:23.041 align:center
The death of the living thing in the thing
to the known abundance…

01:28:23.125 --> 01:28:24.916 align:center
This is where he lost me.

01:28:25.000 --> 01:28:28.291 align:center
But I did like
that shit about the cosmic rays.

01:28:28.375 --> 01:28:30.291 align:center
So what would that be?

01:28:30.875 --> 01:28:32.416 align:center
Peter, the result.

01:28:32.916 --> 01:28:36.375 align:center
1315 to 1318 AD.

01:28:38.000 --> 01:28:40.083 align:center
-Thank you very much.
-My pleasure.

01:28:40.166 --> 01:28:43.041 align:center
Trace elements,
chemical analysis of ink pigment,

01:28:43.125 --> 01:28:47.375 align:center
plant dyes, scanning electron microscopy,
et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

01:28:47.458 --> 01:28:49.208 align:center
It was a beautiful thing.

01:28:50.166 --> 01:28:53.291 align:center
Anyways, on to Chicago,
where it would be assumed a forgery

01:28:53.375 --> 01:28:56.416 align:center
until every possible test
could prove otherwise.

01:28:56.500 --> 01:28:59.583 align:center
Everything they threw at it
came back a yes.

01:29:00.208 --> 01:29:02.750 align:center
All right. Thank you very much.

01:29:02.833 --> 01:29:04.416 align:center
-Have a good day. Thank you.
-You too.

01:29:10.833 --> 01:29:12.000 align:center
Tabbutu.

01:29:12.833 --> 01:29:15.541 align:center
Scary word meaning "death."

01:29:15.625 --> 01:29:17.791 align:center
It was a long time
since I heard that word.

01:29:18.375 --> 01:29:20.333 align:center
It was the most ominous
and unsettling word

01:29:20.416 --> 01:29:21.791 align:center
in the Sicilian tongue.

01:29:21.875 --> 01:29:24.583 align:center
Not only the threat
but the promise of deliverance.

01:29:25.708 --> 01:29:29.458 align:center
This is no tale that began
on a remembered sweet afternoon.

01:29:29.541 --> 01:29:32.416 align:center
This is a tale that began six days ago.

01:29:32.500 --> 01:29:33.958 align:center
Tabbutu.

01:29:49.333 --> 01:29:50.291 align:center
One, two!

01:29:56.375 --> 01:29:58.833 align:center
I was born in a crossfire hurricane…

01:29:58.916 --> 01:30:01.458 align:center
Bruce, it's me again.

01:30:02.291 --> 01:30:05.250 align:center
I know. I know. I don't care. Sell it.

01:30:05.958 --> 01:30:10.083 align:center
Sell it and wire the money
into Giulietta's account, all of it.

01:30:10.583 --> 01:30:13.208 align:center
I know. I'll call her now
and give her the transfer number.

01:30:13.291 --> 01:30:16.125 align:center
I can't explain that to you right now.
You'll hear from me.

01:30:17.416 --> 01:30:21.208 align:center
But it's all right

01:30:21.291 --> 01:30:25.250 align:center
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash
It's a gas, gas, gas

01:30:34.750 --> 01:30:39.750 align:center
I was raised
By a toothless, bearded hag

01:30:41.791 --> 01:30:43.583 align:center
I was schooled

01:30:43.666 --> 01:30:47.041 align:center
With a strap right 'cross my back

01:30:48.750 --> 01:30:53.541 align:center
Well, it's all right now

01:30:53.625 --> 01:30:55.625 align:center
In fact it's a gas

01:30:55.708 --> 01:30:59.583 align:center
Well, it's all right

01:30:59.666 --> 01:31:03.541 align:center
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash
It's a gas, gas, gas!

01:31:04.083 --> 01:31:05.583 align:center
Ooh

01:31:23.541 --> 01:31:25.791 align:center
So you left it in Chicago?

01:31:25.875 --> 01:31:26.833 align:center
Ah, shit.

01:31:27.416 --> 01:31:30.083 align:center
You know,
all that fancy authentication shit.

01:31:30.166 --> 01:31:31.833 align:center
Who's talking to you?

01:31:35.791 --> 01:31:37.458 align:center
It had to be left?

01:31:38.208 --> 01:31:39.666 align:center
I had to leave it, yeah.

01:31:41.333 --> 01:31:45.125 align:center
I thought you said
this guy had a head on his shoulders.

01:31:45.666 --> 01:31:47.166 align:center
Hey, we…

01:31:50.875 --> 01:31:52.041 align:center
Hey, he…

01:31:52.625 --> 01:31:53.750 align:center
They…

01:31:53.833 --> 01:31:56.791 align:center
They don't make house calls with…
What's the thing you said?

01:31:56.875 --> 01:31:58.458 align:center
The stuff the size of a room.

01:31:58.541 --> 01:32:01.541 align:center
You know? They don't make house calls
with stuff the size of a room.

01:32:01.625 --> 01:32:04.500 align:center
Electron scanning microscopy chamber.

01:32:04.583 --> 01:32:08.166 align:center
This… Nick knows what he's talking about.

01:32:08.250 --> 01:32:10.583 align:center
And he's right.
Well, what do you want to do?

01:32:10.666 --> 01:32:13.916 align:center
You want to take this thing
down to Canal Street?

01:32:14.000 --> 01:32:17.833 align:center
Sell it on the sidewalk next to some guy
peddling knockoff Rolexes?

01:32:23.958 --> 01:32:27.875 align:center
Look, if you guys want me out of this,
just give me my money now.

01:32:37.916 --> 01:32:38.958 align:center
Whoa.

01:32:40.833 --> 01:32:42.666 align:center
I was on your side, Nicky.

01:32:43.166 --> 01:32:46.208 align:center
I was on your side the whole way.
You know the score.

01:32:47.250 --> 01:32:51.500 align:center
It was Joe Black's ballgame, but I was
your fucking rabbi the whole way.

01:32:51.583 --> 01:32:53.416 align:center
And then after I did my thing?

01:32:54.916 --> 01:32:56.333 align:center
Goodbye, Nicky, right?

01:32:56.416 --> 01:32:58.625 align:center
Not if I had my way, buddy.
Not if I had my way.

01:32:58.708 --> 01:33:02.666 align:center
Well, those words come quick and easy.
Would you jump in my grave so fast?

01:33:04.083 --> 01:33:06.166 align:center
-Look at me.
-I am.

01:33:08.375 --> 01:33:11.541 align:center
Let's bring this home together.

01:33:11.625 --> 01:33:12.750 align:center
You and me.

01:33:12.833 --> 01:33:15.916 align:center
You gotta be fucking kidding.
You're the first they'd come looking for.

01:33:16.000 --> 01:33:18.833 align:center
You're full of shit anyway,
'cause you'd be with them looking for me.

01:33:18.916 --> 01:33:19.833 align:center
Nicky.

01:33:23.708 --> 01:33:26.166 align:center
I put a hole where his soul used to be.

01:33:36.916 --> 01:33:39.625 align:center
Okay, all right. You can't take a joke.

01:33:39.708 --> 01:33:41.208 align:center
Right? I don't talk that…

01:33:41.291 --> 01:33:44.000 align:center
In Paris, I went to hide
in the Rue Denoyez.

01:33:44.083 --> 01:33:45.125 align:center
Okay, okay, all right.

01:33:45.208 --> 01:33:46.583 align:center
The street of the drowned.

01:33:46.666 --> 01:33:49.666 align:center
Here I go. Hey, easy, easy.
Hey, it's okay, yeah.

01:33:56.916 --> 01:34:00.666 align:center
All right, I don't need anything.
I don't need anything from you.

01:34:06.583 --> 01:34:09.583 align:center
There are species of animals
known to kill their own kind

01:34:09.666 --> 01:34:11.583 align:center
for food or for territory.

01:34:12.541 --> 01:34:16.083 align:center
But it is the pathology of religion
that has made man the most unnatural

01:34:16.166 --> 01:34:19.000 align:center
and ungodly
and self-slaughtering of species.

01:34:19.791 --> 01:34:20.666 align:center
Boom.

01:34:21.208 --> 01:34:22.166 align:center
Boom.

01:34:23.125 --> 01:34:25.000 align:center
The sounds of monotheism.

01:34:26.250 --> 01:34:27.750 align:center
The root of all evil.

01:34:47.125 --> 01:34:49.166 align:center
Fuck.

01:34:50.250 --> 01:34:51.333 align:center
Fuck.

01:35:02.791 --> 01:35:03.791 align:center
Fuck.

01:35:07.166 --> 01:35:09.208 align:center
Shut the fuck up!

01:35:16.541 --> 01:35:19.916 align:center
Fucking shut the fuck up!

01:35:30.125 --> 01:35:33.041 align:center
My love for Giulietta was like a sickness
of which she was cause

01:35:33.125 --> 01:35:34.833 align:center
and also the remedy.

01:35:34.916 --> 01:35:36.875 align:center
So I refused the medicine.

01:35:36.958 --> 01:35:39.666 align:center
I didn't know what
would kill me first, fear or my longing

01:35:39.750 --> 01:35:41.541 align:center
for the woman I love too much to love.

01:37:02.500 --> 01:37:06.333 align:center
The FBI has
confirmed that American Airlines Flight 11

01:37:06.416 --> 01:37:10.250 align:center
from Boston and headed for Los Angeles

01:37:10.333 --> 01:37:12.750 align:center
crashed into the North Tower
of the World Trade Center

01:37:12.833 --> 01:37:15.541 align:center
in the September 11th incident,

01:37:16.125 --> 01:37:20.000 align:center
creating a gaping hole
between the 93rd and 99th floors…

01:37:21.208 --> 01:37:22.916 align:center
…of the Twin Towers' North Tower…

01:37:23.916 --> 01:37:25.291 align:center
…one of New York's symbols.

01:37:25.375 --> 01:37:29.375 align:center
Images show flames and smoke.

01:37:29.458 --> 01:37:32.666 align:center
Survivors were immediately evacuated

01:37:32.750 --> 01:37:34.375 align:center
through the intervention…

01:37:35.791 --> 01:37:37.708 align:center
…of police and ambulances,

01:37:37.791 --> 01:37:41.708 align:center
which evacuated the World Trade Center…

01:37:41.791 --> 01:37:44.000 align:center
-Hello?
-Giulietta?

01:37:44.666 --> 01:37:46.000 align:center
Oh my God.

01:37:46.083 --> 01:37:47.208 align:center
Nick?

01:37:47.291 --> 01:37:48.125 align:center
Hi.

01:37:48.833 --> 01:37:49.750 align:center
Hey.

01:37:50.666 --> 01:37:51.958 align:center
I've been worried sick.

01:37:52.041 --> 01:37:55.875 align:center
I… I thought it was me. I thought…

01:37:55.958 --> 01:37:59.000 align:center
-Listen, Nick.
-Babe. Baby.

01:37:59.083 --> 01:38:00.458 align:center
I miss you.

01:38:02.208 --> 01:38:05.333 align:center
-Yeah. I…
-I can't stop thinking about you. I…

01:38:05.416 --> 01:38:08.416 align:center
I feel-- I feel the same way.
I've-- I've just…

01:38:08.500 --> 01:38:10.291 align:center
I've been so sick without you.

01:38:10.791 --> 01:38:12.125 align:center
But…

01:38:12.208 --> 01:38:14.375 align:center
Listen, there's no time for that. I…

01:38:14.458 --> 01:38:17.125 align:center
There's something I need to tell you.
It's very important.

01:38:17.208 --> 01:38:20.000 align:center
I need you to do something for me.
I need you to lie for me.

01:38:20.083 --> 01:38:22.583 align:center
I need you to call Russ and tell him

01:38:22.666 --> 01:38:25.583 align:center
you think I had an early appointment
at the World Trade Center yesterday

01:38:25.666 --> 01:38:27.041 align:center
and you're worried, okay?

01:38:27.125 --> 01:38:30.000 align:center
Uh, I'm not… I'm no good at lying.

01:38:30.083 --> 01:38:32.958 align:center
-I barely know him. You should call Russ.
-Giulietta. Baby.

01:38:33.041 --> 01:38:35.500 align:center
No, I-- It wouldn't work with Russ.

01:38:35.583 --> 01:38:39.916 align:center
You're the only one that can do it.
You have to do it. I need you. I need you.

01:38:40.583 --> 01:38:42.458 align:center
Will you do it for me, please?

01:38:42.541 --> 01:38:45.708 align:center
If you want, just say you think
you heard me setting up a meeting

01:38:45.791 --> 01:38:47.250 align:center
with somebody downtown,

01:38:47.333 --> 01:38:49.458 align:center
and-- and you haven't heard from me since.

01:38:49.958 --> 01:38:52.750 align:center
I'm going to wire
some money into your account.

01:38:52.833 --> 01:38:55.666 align:center
Next time you see me,
I need you to bring me 20,000 in cash.

01:38:57.541 --> 01:39:00.041 align:center
Will you-- Will you please, please, do it?

01:39:00.125 --> 01:39:02.416 align:center
Yes. But why?

01:39:03.750 --> 01:39:05.625 align:center
Because I need to be dead.

01:41:31.041 --> 01:41:33.916 align:center
I woke to the sky of summoning.

01:41:34.791 --> 01:41:38.666 align:center
It was then
that I was ready to lift my pen,

01:41:38.750 --> 01:41:43.500 align:center
not as a sore-shouldered and
world-weary field man his scythe,

01:41:44.000 --> 01:41:46.583 align:center
but as a reaper of marvels,

01:41:46.666 --> 01:41:50.666 align:center
rising to behold before him
as far as he could.

01:43:36.333 --> 01:43:38.625 align:center
The rarest of uterine vellum.

01:43:42.500 --> 01:43:45.000 align:center
Even our Giotto has never worked
upon the page as such,

01:43:45.083 --> 01:43:51.333 align:center
but his colors will take as glorious
to this as paint to liquescent plaster.

01:43:52.000 --> 01:43:54.166 align:center
As vision to cloud.

01:43:59.208 --> 01:44:05.791 align:center
Your poem shall lie in a casket
of carved chestnut tree, hinged with gold.

01:44:07.500 --> 01:44:11.416 align:center
Only the fair, translucent skin
of Beatrice in her virginity

01:44:11.500 --> 01:44:13.875 align:center
could have yielded more fitting vellum.

01:44:29.750 --> 01:44:32.708 align:center
For whatever of need or desire
may come your way.

01:44:35.458 --> 01:44:37.750 align:center
The world shall have your poem.

01:44:50.583 --> 01:44:53.041 align:center
You've given everything and more.

01:45:04.958 --> 01:45:06.958 align:center
I simply do not understand.

01:45:08.625 --> 01:45:12.000 align:center
A single year to write the Purgatorio,

01:45:12.875 --> 01:45:15.333 align:center
and it has been six years since.

01:45:16.666 --> 01:45:18.916 align:center
Paradiso is still unfinished.

01:45:20.875 --> 01:45:22.833 align:center
I simply do not understand.

01:46:51.333 --> 01:46:54.166 align:center
-Good morning.
-Good afternoon.

01:46:54.833 --> 01:46:57.791 align:center
-Susanna Pulice, pleased to meet you.
-Pleased to meet you.

01:46:57.875 --> 01:46:59.583 align:center
Thank you for seeing me.

01:46:59.666 --> 01:47:01.041 align:center
A pleasure.

01:47:02.666 --> 01:47:04.458 align:center
You have intrigued me.

01:47:05.166 --> 01:47:07.250 align:center
The disappearance of all his autographs

01:47:07.333 --> 01:47:10.666 align:center
has fascinated me
since my university days.

01:47:10.750 --> 01:47:11.875 align:center
-Mm.
-Hmm.

01:47:11.958 --> 01:47:14.041 align:center
What about the discovery
of such a manuscript?

01:47:15.375 --> 01:47:19.666 align:center
That would be a discovery
of unimaginable importance.

01:47:19.750 --> 01:47:24.041 align:center
It would also be, um,
a most, uh, controversial one,

01:47:24.125 --> 01:47:27.166 align:center
challenging even the best among us.

01:47:27.250 --> 01:47:31.458 align:center
Because, of course, there is no way
to verify the handwriting of Dante

01:47:31.541 --> 01:47:34.125 align:center
as there is no specimen
to which to compare it.

01:47:34.208 --> 01:47:36.291 align:center
No, I believe there's,
if I'm not mistaken,

01:47:36.375 --> 01:47:39.958 align:center
just one reference
to his handwriting, Niccolò Niccoli,

01:47:40.041 --> 01:47:42.625 align:center
about 80 years after his death.

01:47:44.333 --> 01:47:45.250 align:center
Mm.

01:47:53.500 --> 01:47:56.666 align:center
"I recently read some letters of his,

01:47:56.750 --> 01:47:59.666 align:center
which he seemed to have written
so carefully,

01:47:59.750 --> 01:48:03.375 align:center
for they were in his own hand
and signed with his seal."

01:48:03.458 --> 01:48:09.416 align:center
"But by Hercules,
no one in this world is so uncultivated

01:48:09.500 --> 01:48:13.125 align:center
that it would not shame him
to have written so awkwardly."

01:48:15.041 --> 01:48:16.458 align:center
His seal.

01:48:16.541 --> 01:48:19.750 align:center
That would be a wonder unto itself.

01:48:20.416 --> 01:48:21.708 align:center
His seal.

01:48:23.791 --> 01:48:29.166 align:center
Per pale or and sable, fess argent.
That is, I believe, his seal.

01:48:30.958 --> 01:48:32.500 align:center
How might you know that?

01:48:33.000 --> 01:48:35.791 align:center
Because it appears
on the final manuscript of the Inferno,

01:48:35.875 --> 01:48:37.875 align:center
above the poet's signature.

01:48:38.500 --> 01:48:41.458 align:center
It partly obscures
the words "dondo" and "stelle."

01:48:57.208 --> 01:48:58.416 align:center
Have a look here.

01:49:05.500 --> 01:49:11.375 align:center
It will take days of… careful examination,

01:49:11.458 --> 01:49:14.416 align:center
but I can assure you

01:49:14.500 --> 01:49:18.500 align:center
our collection here in Venice
is vast and ancient,

01:49:18.583 --> 01:49:24.916 align:center
collected since the days
of Petrarca, its founder.

01:49:26.000 --> 01:49:30.000 align:center
If you… If you would be so kind
as to leave these copies…

01:49:30.083 --> 01:49:32.208 align:center
Of course. Of course.

01:49:32.291 --> 01:49:33.916 align:center
…I may be of help.

01:49:34.000 --> 01:49:36.833 align:center
Good, and as I said before,
I appreciate your discretion

01:49:36.916 --> 01:49:39.166 align:center
as I represent a client
that wishes to remain anonymous.

01:49:39.250 --> 01:49:41.166 align:center
-Of course, of course.
-Good.

01:49:41.250 --> 01:49:42.833 align:center
Well, thank you.

01:49:42.916 --> 01:49:45.375 align:center
-Good luck.
-Thank you.

01:49:45.458 --> 01:49:46.458 align:center
Thank you, Mr…?

01:49:46.541 --> 01:49:48.875 align:center
Sandberg. Elliot Sandberg.

01:49:48.958 --> 01:49:50.166 align:center
Thank you, Elliot.

01:49:50.250 --> 01:49:51.791 align:center
Thank you, Dr. Pulice.

01:49:54.291 --> 01:49:55.750 align:center
Oh my God!

01:49:57.833 --> 01:49:59.041 align:center
I can't believe it.

01:50:00.041 --> 01:50:01.250 align:center
My God!

01:50:02.500 --> 01:50:03.750 align:center
Oh my God!

01:50:21.083 --> 01:50:22.625 align:center
What are you doing here?

01:50:23.583 --> 01:50:24.708 align:center
My love.

01:50:25.541 --> 01:50:27.166 align:center
I came to warn you.

01:50:27.916 --> 01:50:31.875 align:center
What that man has shown you
will put your career in the grave,

01:50:31.958 --> 01:50:33.625 align:center
or worse.

01:50:36.208 --> 01:50:40.000 align:center
Years ago, I wrote a book
called Power on Earth,

01:50:40.791 --> 01:50:44.875 align:center
a book about the shadowland realms
of Michele Sindona,

01:50:45.375 --> 01:50:48.708 align:center
the infamous Sicilian financier,

01:50:49.291 --> 01:50:53.958 align:center
who was believed to occupy the throne
at the heart of the world's evil.

01:50:54.041 --> 01:50:57.000 align:center
The secret crossroads
where the three beasts

01:50:57.083 --> 01:51:01.083 align:center
of international finance, the Mafia,
and the Vatican come together.

01:51:02.333 --> 01:51:06.500 align:center
Much of what Sindona told me
seemed outlandish, incredible,

01:51:06.583 --> 01:51:08.666 align:center
ravings and rantings of an imprisoned man

01:51:08.750 --> 01:51:11.625 align:center
who knew that he would never
draw a free breath again.

01:51:12.625 --> 01:51:14.583 align:center
Over the course of our prison meetings,

01:51:14.666 --> 01:51:19.666 align:center
Sindona asked me to deliver
brief, cryptic messages to this man.

01:51:20.166 --> 01:51:22.375 align:center
And I delivered those messages.

01:51:22.958 --> 01:51:26.750 align:center
Mephistopheles, that is what I call him.

01:51:27.875 --> 01:51:30.958 align:center
He's young, around your age.

01:51:32.208 --> 01:51:33.666 align:center
He can do anything.

01:51:35.458 --> 01:51:38.375 align:center
What he didn't know, I taught him.

01:51:40.333 --> 01:51:41.875 align:center
And he's like me.

01:51:41.958 --> 01:51:43.333 align:center
He plays alone.

01:51:51.041 --> 01:51:52.458 align:center
If you lose me…

01:51:54.083 --> 01:51:59.583 align:center
take the manuscript
to this address outside of Rome.

01:52:01.416 --> 01:52:03.083 align:center
This man will help you.

01:52:05.208 --> 01:52:06.541 align:center
He's the only one you can trust.

01:52:09.666 --> 01:52:10.708 align:center
If I lose you?

01:52:16.208 --> 01:52:17.750 align:center
You won't lose me.

01:52:24.875 --> 01:52:26.291 align:center
What would it be worth?

01:52:27.458 --> 01:52:29.166 align:center
Do you have such a thing?

01:52:30.125 --> 01:52:31.541 align:center
No.

01:52:31.625 --> 01:52:33.375 align:center
Uh, then why ask?

01:52:33.458 --> 01:52:35.750 align:center
If I had it,
I don't think it would slip my memory.

01:52:35.833 --> 01:52:36.958 align:center
This is all theoretical.

01:52:37.041 --> 01:52:40.500 align:center
There exists not a scrap of anything
Dante ever wrote in his own hand.

01:52:40.583 --> 01:52:42.333 align:center
You know that, I know that.

01:52:42.416 --> 01:52:46.750 align:center
Well, I can call someone in Italy
and get back to you.

01:52:46.833 --> 01:52:49.208 align:center
-All right. David?
-Yes?

01:52:49.291 --> 01:52:52.875 align:center
Whatever you do, please tell no one
you've spoken to me.

01:53:02.208 --> 01:53:06.625 align:center
David Hanker organized an anonymous
liaison with a man from Christie's,

01:53:06.708 --> 01:53:09.833 align:center
the chief consultant for rare manuscripts.

01:53:09.916 --> 01:53:14.375 align:center
He flew in on a private jet from London
within hours of hearing the news.

01:53:14.458 --> 01:53:16.125 align:center
I knew the thing was priceless,

01:53:16.208 --> 01:53:19.333 align:center
but I also knew that only Christie's
could put a price on it.

01:53:24.625 --> 01:53:29.125 align:center
I represent
a very, very private collector.

01:53:29.208 --> 01:53:31.333 align:center
Y-- Yes, of course, sir.

01:53:31.958 --> 01:53:34.250 align:center
-Property of a gentleman.
-Indeed.

01:53:35.750 --> 01:53:38.125 align:center
Uh, how on earth did you come by these?

01:53:38.916 --> 01:53:40.500 align:center
Very carefully.

01:53:44.750 --> 01:53:46.625 align:center
Then what would you desire?

01:53:46.708 --> 01:53:48.958 align:center
That I might see what you did see.

01:53:50.791 --> 01:53:52.833 align:center
Then close thine eyes and see.

01:54:02.041 --> 01:54:04.375 align:center
O, Light Eternal,

01:54:06.291 --> 01:54:09.000 align:center
that alone abidest in Thyself,

01:54:10.333 --> 01:54:12.750 align:center
alone knowest Thyself,

01:54:13.875 --> 01:54:19.125 align:center
and, known to Thyself and knowing,
lovest and smilest on Thyself!

01:54:20.541 --> 01:54:24.000 align:center
That circling which, thus begotten,

01:54:24.750 --> 01:54:28.375 align:center
appeared in Thee as reflected light,

01:54:29.458 --> 01:54:32.791 align:center
when my eyes dwelt on it for a time,

01:54:34.083 --> 01:54:35.375 align:center
within it

01:54:36.000 --> 01:54:41.083 align:center
and in its own colour,
painted with our likeness,

01:54:42.291 --> 01:54:46.583 align:center
for which my sight was wholly given to it.

01:54:47.375 --> 01:54:51.625 align:center
Here power failed the high fantasy,

01:54:53.166 --> 01:54:57.875 align:center
but now my desire and will,

01:54:58.916 --> 01:55:03.625 align:center
like a wheel that spins with even motion…

01:55:06.208 --> 01:55:13.083 align:center
were revolved by the Love
that moves the sun and the other stars.

01:55:16.583 --> 01:55:19.625 align:center
God has breathed into you and from you.

01:55:22.416 --> 01:55:25.250 align:center
He's allowed you this gentle lifting…

01:55:26.791 --> 01:55:28.958 align:center
of the veil of the inexpressible.

01:55:41.416 --> 01:55:43.208 align:center
You have entered the sigh.

01:55:46.916 --> 01:55:48.875 align:center
You have become the poem.

01:55:53.083 --> 01:55:55.541 align:center
I shall return your gift with a gift.

01:56:11.791 --> 01:56:12.958 align:center
I thank you.

01:56:14.291 --> 01:56:17.750 align:center
This… This book from him
will serve as entrance to him.

01:56:18.250 --> 01:56:21.958 align:center
And the gold is… for the journey ahead.

01:56:23.583 --> 01:56:26.000 align:center
There are a few clues
I could… I could offer,

01:56:26.083 --> 01:56:28.791 align:center
for I myself
have never pursued the journey.

01:56:29.916 --> 01:56:31.250 align:center
Why haven't you?

01:56:32.875 --> 01:56:34.708 align:center
I was not one of the very few.

01:56:39.208 --> 01:56:40.708 align:center
Why should I labor thus?

01:56:41.291 --> 01:56:43.208 align:center
Because he can see.

01:56:47.416 --> 01:56:48.416 align:center
If I find him--

01:56:48.500 --> 01:56:49.875 align:center
You will find him.

01:56:52.041 --> 01:56:54.208 align:center
Is there any message I should convey?

01:56:56.958 --> 01:56:58.208 align:center
No.

01:56:58.291 --> 01:56:59.333 align:center
No.

01:57:06.500 --> 01:57:08.375 align:center
My name is Jacob.

01:57:43.875 --> 01:57:45.208 align:center
Forgive me.

01:57:46.333 --> 01:57:47.666 align:center
It's no use.

01:57:49.250 --> 01:57:51.750 align:center
I fear I shall die

01:57:52.875 --> 01:57:54.291 align:center
with no confessor.

01:59:27.583 --> 01:59:29.000 align:center
I'm scared.

01:59:31.541 --> 01:59:33.708 align:center
Find your solace in the sky.

01:59:34.916 --> 01:59:38.583 align:center
God is outside and inside of you.

01:59:39.083 --> 01:59:40.708 align:center
He is you.

01:59:41.666 --> 01:59:44.166 align:center
Nothing good comes from fear.

01:59:47.708 --> 01:59:49.291 align:center
Oh, brothers…

01:59:51.333 --> 01:59:55.083 align:center
who, through the west,
through perils without number,

01:59:55.166 --> 01:59:58.916 align:center
now have reached… to this!

01:59:59.000 --> 02:00:02.958 align:center
The short remaining watch
that yet our senses have to wake

02:00:03.041 --> 02:00:08.958 align:center
refuse not proof of the unpeopled world
that lies beyond the sun.

02:00:10.458 --> 02:00:13.041 align:center
Consider from whence ye sprang.

02:00:13.625 --> 02:00:17.375 align:center
Ye were not formed
to live the life of brutes,

02:00:17.458 --> 02:00:22.583 align:center
but virtue to pursue a knowledge high.

02:01:12.125 --> 02:01:15.083 align:center
Dear reader, ask yourself,

02:01:15.583 --> 02:01:19.333 align:center
was I not discouraged
by those cursed words?

02:01:19.416 --> 02:01:22.166 align:center
I thought I'd never
make it back to Earth again.

02:01:28.583 --> 02:01:30.541 align:center
Welcome, Mr. Tosches.

02:01:32.416 --> 02:01:34.125 align:center
It's so good to see you.

02:01:34.208 --> 02:01:35.750 align:center
It's been a long time.

02:01:35.833 --> 02:01:37.041 align:center
It's not me.

02:01:38.000 --> 02:01:40.500 align:center
But of course, I made a mistake.

02:01:41.000 --> 02:01:45.416 align:center
A gentleman such as yourself
doesn't need a membership card.

02:01:45.500 --> 02:01:47.250 align:center
Okay, thank you.

02:01:59.583 --> 02:02:01.750 align:center
Giulietta could have made off
with all my money.

02:02:01.833 --> 02:02:04.375 align:center
It would have been the smart thing to do.

02:02:04.458 --> 02:02:06.500 align:center
But there she is in all her resplendence

02:02:06.583 --> 02:02:10.375 align:center
with lush nylon on her legs
and 10,000 in cash in each hand.

02:02:10.875 --> 02:02:12.875 align:center
God, I love this woman.

02:02:12.958 --> 02:02:15.583 align:center
Hi. Mm.

02:02:17.375 --> 02:02:18.375 align:center
Three.

02:02:18.958 --> 02:02:20.291 align:center
Thirty-three.

02:02:21.291 --> 02:02:22.375 align:center
Zero!

02:02:31.750 --> 02:02:34.625 align:center
Darling, you have to go right now.

02:02:34.708 --> 02:02:37.166 align:center
Forget your things.
Take the money and go. It's over.

02:02:37.250 --> 02:02:40.208 align:center
Remember the address in Rome.
Mephistopheles, that's his name.

02:02:40.291 --> 02:02:42.666 align:center
-Go. If I live, I'll meet you--
-What do you mean?

02:02:42.750 --> 02:02:46.250 align:center
Baby, you've been a widow
since the moment you fell in love with me.

02:02:46.333 --> 02:02:49.291 align:center
I've been a widow
for 700 years until I met you again.

02:02:49.375 --> 02:02:50.375 align:center
You gotta go.

02:02:50.875 --> 02:02:52.875 align:center
Mephistopheles. Go.

02:03:45.458 --> 02:03:47.500 align:center
My friend drank too much!

02:03:47.583 --> 02:03:49.541 align:center
It happens every day!

02:03:58.541 --> 02:03:59.708 align:center
Let's go!

02:04:17.791 --> 02:04:18.791 align:center
So…

02:04:23.875 --> 02:04:25.500 align:center
Where's the manuscript?

02:04:26.000 --> 02:04:27.458 align:center
I don't have it.

02:04:30.083 --> 02:04:30.916 align:center
I don't have it.

02:04:31.000 --> 02:04:33.083 align:center
Then your woman has it?

02:04:33.166 --> 02:04:34.208 align:center
No.

02:04:45.375 --> 02:04:46.375 align:center
So…

02:04:56.791 --> 02:05:01.375 align:center
It will please me
to see your face when I hold it aloft.

02:05:04.000 --> 02:05:05.166 align:center
Don Lecco.

02:05:06.208 --> 02:05:07.833 align:center
He would have wanted that.

02:05:12.833 --> 02:05:14.250 align:center
Relax.

02:05:18.041 --> 02:05:22.875 align:center
The old man lived in a world
where family still counted for something.

02:05:24.541 --> 02:05:28.416 align:center
He was a fool to trust Joe,
that barbarian.

02:05:32.500 --> 02:05:35.041 align:center
Perhaps it's better
he never lived to see the day.

02:05:41.041 --> 02:05:42.833 align:center
Delicately.

02:05:52.875 --> 02:05:53.958 align:center
Quiet.

02:06:12.458 --> 02:06:14.041 align:center
Oh, fuck, man.

02:06:19.041 --> 02:06:20.375 align:center
Fuck.

02:06:20.458 --> 02:06:22.583 align:center
I don't know. I don't know, man.

02:06:22.666 --> 02:06:24.041 align:center
I don't have it.

02:06:24.583 --> 02:06:27.708 align:center
I know as much as you do.
Somebody could have already stolen it.

02:06:28.583 --> 02:06:31.208 align:center
Just shoot me. Just shoot me.

02:06:37.541 --> 02:06:40.291 align:center
I don't believe that supports the thesis.

02:06:40.958 --> 02:06:44.375 align:center
You're not the only one acquainted
with the art of parsing verse.

02:06:44.458 --> 02:06:50.291 align:center
It seems the woman is torn
between your life and the text.

02:06:51.083 --> 02:06:53.416 align:center
She doesn't…
She doesn't even know it exists.

02:06:54.625 --> 02:06:56.500 align:center
She doesn't know it exists.

02:07:00.500 --> 02:07:01.958 align:center
You are amazing.

02:07:02.458 --> 02:07:04.958 align:center
I am amused by this game,

02:07:05.041 --> 02:07:08.666 align:center
and, like the pussycat, quite curious

02:07:08.750 --> 02:07:12.166 align:center
if she values your life above the money.

02:07:12.666 --> 02:07:13.666 align:center
So…

02:07:20.625 --> 02:07:24.208 align:center
You will tell her
that your life will remain yours

02:07:24.291 --> 02:07:26.375 align:center
if she returns what is ours.

02:07:27.041 --> 02:07:28.125 align:center
Otherwise…

02:07:30.416 --> 02:07:31.583 align:center
I, uh…

02:07:34.416 --> 02:07:37.583 align:center
I make a puzzle of you.

02:07:39.666 --> 02:07:41.166 align:center
Uh, like a collage.

02:07:44.041 --> 02:07:45.041 align:center
Yeah.

02:07:47.791 --> 02:07:49.333 align:center
I'm already dead.

02:07:49.875 --> 02:07:51.375 align:center
What do I have to lose?

02:07:59.333 --> 02:08:02.625 align:center
When I finish with you,
you will write of hell

02:08:02.708 --> 02:08:05.291 align:center
with grander eloquence
than our poet ever did.

02:08:05.791 --> 02:08:11.791 align:center
Though I must say, his, uh, punishment
for thieves was most elegant.

02:08:14.916 --> 02:08:16.125 align:center
My love!

02:08:17.958 --> 02:08:19.833 align:center
Is that necessary?

02:08:20.916 --> 02:08:22.083 align:center
Yes.

02:08:22.166 --> 02:08:24.166 align:center
Yes, it's definitely necessary.

02:08:34.750 --> 02:08:38.000 align:center
As the thief takes what is dear to others,

02:08:38.083 --> 02:08:42.250 align:center
so shall his own face,
his own identity, be torn from him

02:08:42.333 --> 02:08:45.000 align:center
by the venom of vicious snakes.

02:08:47.250 --> 02:08:52.333 align:center
You shall learn of their sting and repent.

02:08:56.208 --> 02:08:57.958 align:center
I think I'll call her myself.

02:09:18.666 --> 02:09:19.666 align:center
Giulietta.

02:09:40.166 --> 02:09:41.208 align:center
Over there.

02:10:48.833 --> 02:10:51.083 align:center
Giulietta! I said "unarmed."

02:10:51.916 --> 02:10:54.583 align:center
Put the gun down and wheel him over.

02:10:55.458 --> 02:10:57.166 align:center
Then you'll get what you want.

02:10:57.250 --> 02:10:58.541 align:center
No fucking way!

02:11:00.083 --> 02:11:02.041 align:center
All I want is the manuscript.

02:11:09.458 --> 02:11:12.083 align:center
I'm sure you kept a few pages to yourself.

02:11:13.875 --> 02:11:15.958 align:center
I overlook this if you behave.

02:11:20.875 --> 02:11:22.375 align:center
You mean like this one?

02:11:25.666 --> 02:11:28.041 align:center
Your little gesture
just cost us a million dollars.

02:11:28.625 --> 02:11:31.416 align:center
What is a number to me if Nick is harmed?

02:11:33.458 --> 02:11:35.416 align:center
One more scratch,

02:11:36.250 --> 02:11:38.791 align:center
and the rest
will flutter like butterflies.

02:11:38.875 --> 02:11:39.875 align:center
No scratch.

02:11:39.958 --> 02:11:41.791 align:center
I'll make you shit blood!

02:11:43.916 --> 02:11:48.416 align:center
You expect me to believe
you value his life over the manuscript?

02:11:49.166 --> 02:11:50.083 align:center
Fuck!

02:11:50.166 --> 02:11:52.125 align:center
I never met a woman like that.

02:11:52.208 --> 02:11:55.541 align:center
I swear I'll throw it all away.

02:11:55.625 --> 02:11:56.708 align:center
Put the gun down.

02:11:57.875 --> 02:12:00.583 align:center
-Put the manuscript down.
-Put the gun down.

02:12:00.666 --> 02:12:02.833 align:center
Put the gun down.

02:12:02.916 --> 02:12:05.458 align:center
He is safe. No scratch.

02:12:05.541 --> 02:12:07.666 align:center
I put the gun down. Yes.

02:12:07.750 --> 02:12:11.166 align:center
I'll throw it away
if you don't put it down now.

02:12:11.250 --> 02:12:12.958 align:center
Put the manuscript down. I am going.

02:12:35.666 --> 02:12:36.958 align:center
My love!

02:12:38.291 --> 02:12:40.375 align:center
I've taken care of it.

02:12:41.083 --> 02:12:43.166 align:center
Taken care of what?

02:12:44.166 --> 02:12:46.125 align:center
You've already counted the money,

02:12:46.208 --> 02:12:49.291 align:center
and yet what of the library,

02:12:49.375 --> 02:12:52.541 align:center
my thesis, the people of Italy?

02:12:52.625 --> 02:12:55.083 align:center
What about what I wanted?

02:12:55.166 --> 02:12:56.375 align:center
Are you mad?

02:12:57.458 --> 02:12:58.750 align:center
We have succeeded.

02:12:59.250 --> 02:13:02.291 align:center
The best option
and best hope we have is-- is to sell it.

02:13:03.958 --> 02:13:07.583 align:center
I cannot help but regard
this poem as my property

02:13:07.666 --> 02:13:11.958 align:center
as its sublime cadences
were sung in my praise,

02:13:12.041 --> 02:13:14.958 align:center
the intended bride of his immortal soul.

02:13:22.875 --> 02:13:24.250 align:center
Beatrice!

02:13:26.875 --> 02:13:28.375 align:center
Beatrice!

02:13:31.791 --> 02:13:33.375 align:center
Beatrice!

02:13:36.500 --> 02:13:37.833 align:center
Beatrice!

02:13:43.416 --> 02:13:45.125 align:center
Please, Beatrice!

02:13:49.708 --> 02:13:52.750 align:center
Beatrice, my beloved!

02:13:53.541 --> 02:13:59.000 align:center
Dread limits imposed,
a winding wend enclosed,

02:13:59.083 --> 02:14:03.000 align:center
a lengthening cord
whose taut thou mayest see,

02:14:03.083 --> 02:14:05.708 align:center
upon a dying star's tug,

02:14:07.208 --> 02:14:10.791 align:center
time's trammels cease to be.

02:14:13.708 --> 02:14:17.208 align:center
In what school were these phrases learnt?

02:14:17.833 --> 02:14:22.750 align:center
The same that sweetened
the tongues of Guido and Lapo.

02:14:23.708 --> 02:14:25.875 align:center
Undo these cords,

02:14:26.875 --> 02:14:32.666 align:center
though no mortal knife
can cut those that bind us fast!

02:14:35.416 --> 02:14:37.291 align:center
I am Beatrice!

02:14:38.666 --> 02:14:40.416 align:center
I am Beatrice!

02:14:40.500 --> 02:14:41.333 align:center
Yes.

02:14:41.416 --> 02:14:43.625 align:center
I am Beatrice that let you go!

02:14:44.125 --> 02:14:46.583 align:center
I come from the place
where I desire to return.

02:14:46.666 --> 02:14:49.166 align:center
Love moved me and made me speak.

02:14:50.666 --> 02:14:52.875 align:center
O, Light Eternal,

02:14:53.500 --> 02:14:55.750 align:center
that alone abidest in Thyself,

02:14:55.833 --> 02:14:58.000 align:center
alone knowest Thyself,

02:14:58.083 --> 02:15:02.833 align:center
and, known to Thyself and knowing,
lovest and smilest on Thyself!

02:15:05.500 --> 02:15:11.083 align:center
The Love… that moves
the sun and the other stars.

02:17:18.916 --> 02:17:23.583 align:center
By cunning, thou knowest,
is a woodman far better than by might.

02:17:24.250 --> 02:17:27.041 align:center
By cunning too
doth a helmsman on a wind-dark deep

02:17:27.125 --> 02:17:30.625 align:center
guide aright a swift ship
that is buffeted by winds.

02:17:31.166 --> 02:17:34.875 align:center
And by cunning
doth charioteer proves better.

02:17:35.541 --> 02:17:36.625 align:center
Charioteer.

02:17:38.000 --> 02:17:39.166 align:center
Cunning.

02:17:40.625 --> 02:17:41.666 align:center
Cunning.

02:17:43.666 --> 02:17:45.458 align:center
I've been waiting for you.

02:17:46.583 --> 02:17:48.250 align:center
Mephistopheles?

02:17:49.416 --> 02:17:51.250 align:center
You can call me whatever you like.

02:17:52.125 --> 02:17:53.083 align:center
So…

02:17:53.875 --> 02:17:55.083 align:center
You're dead now.

02:17:57.333 --> 02:17:59.541 align:center
You're the second victim
of that unfortunate incident

02:17:59.625 --> 02:18:01.916 align:center
that has come to me in as many days.

02:18:02.750 --> 02:18:06.458 align:center
Another two came to me
seeking death and reincarnation.

02:18:08.333 --> 02:18:12.458 align:center
In those days
preceding that, uh… unpleasantness.

02:18:13.958 --> 02:18:17.291 align:center
But I made sure
that I placed them properly

02:18:18.166 --> 02:18:20.166 align:center
on the morning of your vanishing.

02:18:27.250 --> 02:18:28.666 align:center
Who do you work for?

02:18:31.708 --> 02:18:34.833 align:center
Only the very foolish
and the very arrogant

02:18:34.916 --> 02:18:37.291 align:center
say that they work for themselves.

02:18:39.208 --> 02:18:40.541 align:center
I will say, though…

02:18:42.750 --> 02:18:45.541 align:center
that I work for the lord of the world.

02:18:48.875 --> 02:18:50.375 align:center
Or let's just say, uh,

02:18:50.916 --> 02:18:52.041 align:center
lords.

02:18:54.291 --> 02:18:55.416 align:center
Maybe…

02:18:56.833 --> 02:18:58.708 align:center
I simply work for you.

02:19:03.750 --> 02:19:05.083 align:center
Is that an ashtray?

02:19:06.583 --> 02:19:08.291 align:center
It's whatever you want it to be.

02:19:18.083 --> 02:19:19.166 align:center
Where was I?

02:19:51.625 --> 02:19:52.625 align:center
Hello.

02:19:54.958 --> 02:19:56.083 align:center
Thank you.

02:20:03.000 --> 02:20:04.083 align:center
Thank you.

02:20:07.875 --> 02:20:11.458 align:center
I cannot now go forth
into the silence of this wisdom

02:20:11.541 --> 02:20:14.083 align:center
as I very soon shall go forth.

02:20:14.166 --> 02:20:18.625 align:center
I must here and now cease to be a writer
in the wretched sense of that profession.

02:20:19.416 --> 02:20:23.583 align:center
I must here and now leave
all of artful whoredom behind me.

02:20:24.416 --> 02:20:26.708 align:center
I myself could be banished,

02:20:26.791 --> 02:20:29.833 align:center
but my dignity
could be banished only by me.

02:20:30.666 --> 02:20:32.750 align:center
The money comes in waves.

02:20:33.416 --> 02:20:36.041 align:center
One hundred and thirteen pages
have been sold.

02:20:36.125 --> 02:20:39.000 align:center
There are some pages
that I will never sell.

02:20:39.583 --> 02:20:41.750 align:center
The first page of the Inferno,

02:20:42.375 --> 02:20:44.958 align:center
the final page of the Paradiso,

02:20:45.041 --> 02:20:48.916 align:center
and the last page of parchment
before the first page of paper.

02:20:49.541 --> 02:20:50.708 align:center
Yes.

02:20:58.083 --> 02:20:59.083 align:center
Hi.

02:20:59.750 --> 02:21:00.750 align:center
Hi.

02:21:07.500 --> 02:21:09.458 align:center
I have something to show you.

02:21:10.625 --> 02:21:11.708 align:center
Okay.

02:21:12.375 --> 02:21:16.000 align:center
Something I was afraid to reveal
until the time was right.

02:21:20.250 --> 02:21:22.791 align:center
I almost buried it with my hopes.

02:21:30.083 --> 02:21:31.708 align:center
Tempus fugit.

02:21:33.666 --> 02:21:35.083 align:center
Time flies.

02:21:38.333 --> 02:21:41.541 align:center
But it is breath that is the winged thing.

02:21:42.083 --> 02:21:44.333 align:center
It's our breath that flees.

02:21:45.125 --> 02:21:47.750 align:center
My breath flees upon your words.

02:22:02.833 --> 02:22:04.625 align:center
End your search.

02:22:06.833 --> 02:22:09.708 align:center
Come forth from the tomb of your seeking.

02:22:11.500 --> 02:22:12.958 align:center
Come forth into the light

02:22:13.041 --> 02:22:18.125 align:center
and be filled with the scent
of the every blade of grass of your soul.

02:22:19.750 --> 02:22:24.625 align:center
And the every blade of grass
of the every moment of this life.

02:22:26.666 --> 02:22:29.125 align:center
Come forth and embrace me.

02:22:32.666 --> 02:22:36.166 align:center
And what brought you forth from the tomb?

02:22:38.125 --> 02:22:39.625 align:center
A breeze.

02:22:47.416 --> 02:22:48.666 align:center
Gemma.

02:22:52.166 --> 02:22:54.125 align:center
Yes, my sweet Dante.

02:22:54.208 --> 02:22:55.958 align:center
Is it really you?

02:22:59.458 --> 02:23:05.250 align:center
Yes, but this time,
I will be of joy immeasurable.

02:23:09.125 --> 02:23:12.375 align:center
With that, my soul woke up
from its eclipse,

02:23:12.458 --> 02:23:15.708 align:center
the while my lady's name rose to my lips,

02:23:16.416 --> 02:23:18.833 align:center
a god that is hidden from man,

02:23:20.208 --> 02:23:21.833 align:center
I have found her.

02:23:59.458 --> 02:24:05.541 align:center
I don't believe in
An interventionist god

02:24:10.000 --> 02:24:15.083 align:center
But I know, darling, that you do

02:24:20.750 --> 02:24:26.375 align:center
But if I did
I would kneel down and ask him

02:24:31.041 --> 02:24:37.000 align:center
Not to intervene when it came to you

02:24:38.541 --> 02:24:42.125 align:center
Oh, not to touch a hair on your head

02:24:42.208 --> 02:24:44.458 align:center
Leave you as you are

02:24:44.541 --> 02:24:46.875 align:center
If He felt He had to direct you

02:24:46.958 --> 02:24:50.583 align:center
Then direct you into my arms

02:24:52.916 --> 02:24:56.208 align:center
Into my arms

02:24:56.291 --> 02:24:58.250 align:center
O Lord

02:24:58.333 --> 02:25:01.500 align:center
Into my arms

02:25:01.583 --> 02:25:03.416 align:center
O Lord

02:25:03.500 --> 02:25:06.708 align:center
Into my arms

02:25:06.791 --> 02:25:08.708 align:center
O Lord

02:25:08.791 --> 02:25:11.791 align:center
Into my arms

02:25:16.375 --> 02:25:22.000 align:center
And I don't believe in
The existence of angels

02:25:26.833 --> 02:25:32.583 align:center
But looking at you
I wonder if that's true

02:25:37.083 --> 02:25:42.000 align:center
But if I did
I would summon them together

02:25:47.375 --> 02:25:52.333 align:center
And ask them to watch over you

02:25:54.375 --> 02:25:57.500 align:center
Well, to each burn a candle for you

02:25:57.583 --> 02:26:00.458 align:center
To make bright and clear your path

02:26:01.041 --> 02:26:03.958 align:center
And to walk like Christ
In grace and love

02:26:04.041 --> 02:26:07.625 align:center
And guide you into my arms

02:26:09.500 --> 02:26:12.708 align:center
Into my arms

02:26:12.791 --> 02:26:14.666 align:center
O Lord

02:26:14.750 --> 02:26:17.916 align:center
Into my arms

02:26:18.000 --> 02:26:19.791 align:center
O Lord

02:26:19.875 --> 02:26:22.958 align:center
Into my arms

02:26:23.041 --> 02:26:24.916 align:center
O Lord

02:26:25.000 --> 02:26:27.958 align:center
Into my arms

02:26:34.333 --> 02:26:38.250 align:center
But I believe in love

02:26:42.583 --> 02:26:48.041 align:center
And I know that you do too

02:26:52.666 --> 02:26:58.291 align:center
And I believe in some kind of path

02:27:02.708 --> 02:27:08.000 align:center
That we can walk down, me and you

02:27:09.416 --> 02:27:12.500 align:center
So keep your candles burning

02:27:12.583 --> 02:27:15.333 align:center
Make her journey bright and pure

02:27:15.416 --> 02:27:17.625 align:center
That she'll keep returning

02:27:17.708 --> 02:27:20.458 align:center
Always and evermore

02:27:23.208 --> 02:27:26.291 align:center
Into my arms

02:27:26.375 --> 02:27:28.250 align:center
O Lord

02:27:28.333 --> 02:27:31.416 align:center
Into my arms

02:27:31.500 --> 02:27:33.250 align:center
O Lord

02:27:33.333 --> 02:27:36.458 align:center
Into my arms

02:27:36.541 --> 02:27:38.333 align:center
O Lord

02:27:38.416 --> 02:27:42.083 align:center
Into my arms

02:27:47.000 --> 02:27:51.041 align:center
How many moments can you seize?

02:27:54.083 --> 02:27:57.916 align:center
How many people can you please?

02:28:01.416 --> 02:28:05.291 align:center
How many places can you be?

02:28:06.625 --> 02:28:08.875 align:center
Ain't you

02:28:10.416 --> 02:28:13.625 align:center
Tired?

02:28:15.583 --> 02:28:19.791 align:center
How many shoes were received?

02:28:22.791 --> 02:28:26.833 align:center
How many of them can you keep?

02:28:30.125 --> 02:28:35.083 align:center
Whatever happened to your feet?

02:28:35.166 --> 02:28:38.583 align:center
Ain't you

02:28:39.083 --> 02:28:42.666 align:center
Tired?

02:28:43.375 --> 02:28:46.458 align:center
Round and round and round and round

02:28:46.541 --> 02:28:50.166 align:center
We go

02:28:50.666 --> 02:28:53.500 align:center
Down and down and down and down

02:28:53.583 --> 02:28:56.333 align:center
We float

02:28:57.250 --> 02:29:00.041 align:center
Round and round and round and round

02:29:00.125 --> 02:29:03.333 align:center
We go

02:29:03.958 --> 02:29:06.750 align:center
Down and down and down and down

02:29:06.833 --> 02:29:10.000 align:center
We float

02:29:12.416 --> 02:29:16.125 align:center
How many pictures can you frame?

02:29:19.333 --> 02:29:23.875 align:center
How many words do they contain?

02:29:26.666 --> 02:29:31.750 align:center
How many of them bear your pain?

02:29:31.833 --> 02:29:35.375 align:center
Ain't you

02:29:35.458 --> 02:29:39.166 align:center
Tired?

02:29:40.958 --> 02:29:44.791 align:center
How many doors can you open?

02:29:47.916 --> 02:29:52.000 align:center
How many keys are they holding?

02:29:55.166 --> 02:29:59.875 align:center
How many more

02:29:59.958 --> 02:30:03.416 align:center
Were you hoping for?

02:30:03.500 --> 02:30:08.333 align:center
Ain't you tired?

02:30:08.416 --> 02:30:11.291 align:center
Round and round and round and round

02:30:11.375 --> 02:30:14.416 align:center
We go

02:30:15.375 --> 02:30:18.041 align:center
Down and down and down and down

02:30:18.125 --> 02:30:20.916 align:center
We float

02:30:21.875 --> 02:30:24.625 align:center
Round and round and round and round

02:30:24.708 --> 02:30:27.708 align:center
We go

02:30:28.458 --> 02:30:31.083 align:center
Down and down and down and down

02:30:31.166 --> 02:30:33.041 align:center
We float

02:30:33.125 --> 02:30:38.541 align:center
Out of the blue, sometimes love flew

02:30:38.625 --> 02:30:44.083 align:center
There ain't no dues without excuse

02:30:44.166 --> 02:30:46.875 align:center
Ride on the fly

02:30:46.958 --> 02:30:49.666 align:center
Sometimes love dies

02:30:49.750 --> 02:30:53.708 align:center
But we keep keepin' on

02:30:53.791 --> 02:31:00.666 align:center
'Cause lovin' renews

02:31:00.750 --> 02:31:05.791 align:center
Circlin' to you

02:31:06.291 --> 02:31:11.708 align:center
Loving renews

02:31:11.791 --> 02:31:17.500 align:center
Circlin' to you
