00:00:00Freud teaches us that we really are not alone.
00:00:28Freud teaches us that we relive our childhood again and again.
00:00:33Some of us are stuck in a nursery world, an obsessive need to play games.
00:00:42An adult addiction to gambling is often a long buried childhood fixation.
00:00:47Gambling is not simply a vice, it is an expression of our humanity.
00:00:52It is the way we behave towards each other in our relationships.
00:00:56We play, win, lose.
00:01:01And we sometimes take immense risks.
00:01:06And in the most devastating circumstances, we can lose everything.
00:01:13Gentlemen, Franz Buchstaller is one of the most notorious criminals in the city.
00:01:20An infamous arms dealer with links to thieves and criminals throughout the empire.
00:01:26Well, gentlemen, as of now, his monstrous reign is ended.
00:01:51Franz Buchstaller is finally in our castle.
00:02:05Some of you, some of you did assist me with this arrest last night.
00:02:13I will, of course, mention you in my report.
00:02:21Perhaps not all by name.
00:02:25Anyway, to show my gratitude, beer for everyone.
00:02:39I need to get out of here. I can't stomach this.
00:02:42Gentlemen, the prisoner wants to talk. Says it must be to you alone.
00:02:51Cheers.
00:03:01So, look at you, how the mighty have fallen.
00:03:10When I give evidence at your trial, it will be a personal pleasure.
00:03:21Of course, it may not get that far.
00:03:25Half the criminals in the city will be after your blood in order to protect themselves.
00:03:40I need to see Schlosser.
00:03:42What?
00:03:44Right now. It's important.
00:03:50What's this about?
00:03:54Just deliver this message.
00:04:00Tell him...
00:04:05I know where to find...
00:04:13Mephisto.
00:04:21Mephisto.
00:04:23That's what he said. I didn't know quite what he meant.
00:04:29From Goethe. Men's wretchedness ensues, I so deplore.
00:04:36Mephisto is the devil.
00:04:38Where's Buchstaller now?
00:04:40In custody, awaiting trial.
00:04:43He says he won't talk in the station. Says it needs to be somewhere else.
00:04:46I told him it was impossible.
00:04:49What's going on, Herr Direktor?
00:04:55Do you need anything, Papa?
00:04:57No, thank you.
00:05:00Freundin.
00:05:05Who else knows about this?
00:05:07No one. I came straight to you. I assumed you want to know about it.
00:05:12Bring him here.
00:05:14What?
00:05:16The castle. The ruined castle. Just beyond the house.
00:05:19Obviously, I can't have him in my home.
00:05:21No. Buchstaller's a prisoner. We can't have him parade around Vienna.
00:05:25Bring other officers, if you must. Men you trust. Not tell them nothing.
00:05:29I must object, Herr Direktor. I spent months on Buchstaller's trail.
00:05:33I have him under lock and key. Finally...
00:05:35The Empire's under threat, Reinhard.
00:05:38This meeting is vital.
00:05:40Mephisto's our deadliest enemy.
00:05:42He goes only by his secret code name.
00:05:45I've been trying to track him down for years.
00:05:48If Buchstaller is telling the truth, then this is my first proper lead on him.
00:05:57I will sign the release order.
00:05:59Your authorization to bring the prisoner to me.
00:06:02I'm afraid I can't.
00:06:05I will sign the release order.
00:06:07Your authorization to bring the prisoner to me.
00:06:11Buchstaller's dangerous.
00:06:13I'll be armed if he tries to escape.
00:06:17Agreed.
00:06:20You know Goethe?
00:06:23Read it at school.
00:06:26Do you remember about Mephisto?
00:06:30He had the man-magic powers.
00:06:33In exchange for his immortal soul?
00:06:37Yes.
00:06:39I'm afraid I can't.
00:06:41I'm afraid I can't.
00:06:44I'm afraid I can't.
00:06:46In exchange for his immortal soul.
00:06:52I hate this new automatic.
00:06:57We need another officer to drive the carriage.
00:07:00What about Meyer?
00:07:02He's keen, always comes in early.
00:07:05Fine.
00:07:07Don't tell him anything.
00:07:08Go and get him.
00:07:16Don't tell him anything.
00:07:46It was getting hot in there.
00:08:08It was getting hot in there.
00:08:13You know, Inspector...
00:08:15I can read your expression.
00:08:18I can see the contempt you have for me.
00:08:21No.
00:08:23I'm hardly hiding it.
00:08:28The irony is...
00:08:31we are not so different, you and I.
00:08:36We both use violence to achieve our ends.
00:08:41We both understand its power, right?
00:08:48A young woman was gunned down in Leopoldstadt last week.
00:08:52Nineteen years old.
00:08:55A robbery.
00:08:57Killed in cold blood with a gun that you sold, Franz.
00:09:05Don't you ever compare yourself to me.
00:09:10You understand?
00:09:34Meyer, go out on the road. Make sure no one's coming.
00:09:37Keep alert.
00:09:41If it had been left up to me, we'd have skipped the trial.
00:09:46What would your approach have been?
00:09:48Time alone with me in these woods.
00:09:51No spectators.
00:09:53Reinhard, if you will allow me...
00:09:56I'm Strasser, the Director of Security.
00:10:01You told the Inspector you have some information for me.
00:10:05Information.
00:10:08It's treasure.
00:10:11I found out Mephisto's real name.
00:10:16You met with Mephisto face to face?
00:10:20Mephisto's man came to do business with me.
00:10:24And afterwards I followed him.
00:10:28I saw them together.
00:10:32Give me a name.
00:10:35First...
00:10:37we need to talk about what you are prepared to offer me.
00:10:43Reinhard, you and your men can step away.
00:10:46And, uh...
00:10:48I'll be right back.
00:10:57Good.
00:11:08One false move.
00:11:10Do you understand me?
00:11:16They're shooting!
00:11:19Argh!
00:11:24Damn it, Reinhard! You were followed!
00:11:39Protect me! I'm a dead man!
00:11:49No!
00:11:57Damn it!
00:12:03No, no, no, no, no!
00:12:05Stop him!
00:12:09No! Don't!
00:12:18No!
00:12:29No!
00:12:49You're under arrest!
00:12:52Don't move!
00:13:08As every psychoanalyst knows,
00:13:11since we haven't gone through the experience of a murder,
00:13:15death doesn't exist in our unconscious.
00:13:19So we can't actually fear death.
00:13:25I remember.
00:13:33Because...
00:13:35I did.
00:13:38I did.
00:13:41I did.
00:13:44I did.
00:13:47Still, I did.
00:13:50I did.
00:13:56I promise.
00:13:59I promise.
00:14:02We effectively pretend death isn't there.
00:14:07Until, of course,
00:14:09reality intrudes.
00:14:17Gentlemen, we're all shocked by the tragic death of Director Strasser.
00:14:23As his deputy,
00:14:25I have accepted the appointment as the new Director of Security.
00:14:40Commissioner, is there any news on the Burgstahler murder?
00:14:46It's not your case.
00:14:48Not anymore.
00:14:50I know.
00:14:52I was just curious.
00:15:04We've identified the killer.
00:15:07Thomas Hofer.
00:15:09One of the Hofer gang.
00:15:12Thieves from the Meitling district,
00:15:14trying to stop Burgstahler informing on them.
00:15:18Why?
00:15:20Do you have any other information?
00:15:23No.
00:15:29Why did Strasser want to meet with Burgstahler?
00:15:33I'm sorry, Commissioner.
00:15:35He didn't tell me.
00:15:39Your name is on this, Reinhardt.
00:15:43You were the one who took Burgstahler from his cell.
00:15:47The Director gave me written authorization.
00:15:50Yes.
00:15:52Well, he can't help you now, can he?
00:15:58As far as I'm concerned,
00:16:00your career is over.
00:16:04Of course.
00:16:05I will miss you when you're gone.
00:16:34I love you.
00:17:04I love you.
00:17:34I'm sorry for what happened to your father.
00:17:39He was a good man
00:17:42and a fine police officer.
00:17:48He lived for his job.
00:17:53Devoted himself to the Empire.
00:17:58He was a good man.
00:18:02Devoted himself to the Empire.
00:18:10I need your help, Fraulein.
00:18:14Something happened before he died.
00:18:21A case we were both involved in.
00:18:25Did he ever mention a name?
00:18:28Mephisto.
00:18:41I'm sorry to ask,
00:18:44but could I have a look in his private things?
00:18:58No.
00:19:24Is that Gant?
00:19:27Mephisto.
00:19:29I'm sick of fighting.
00:19:36I remember this.
00:19:39I remember every detail.
00:19:42Luxembourg.
00:19:45A bomb was planted to disrupt the Russian summit
00:19:48by Serbian nationalist Lazar Kis.
00:19:54Your father and I, we were both there that day.
00:19:58Kis died a few months later in a fire.
00:20:04But why was your father still obsessed by it?
00:20:08My father, he collected them.
00:20:12Disasters, areas of policing.
00:20:15Did he tell you why?
00:20:18No.
00:20:22It's important, Fraulein.
00:20:25Anything you can remember, anything.
00:20:32I'm sorry.
00:20:35I need to take these clippings.
00:20:39I... I do recall him saying one thing.
00:20:44Yes?
00:20:46One night when he had been drinking,
00:20:49he kept repeating,
00:20:51someone in Vienna is giving away our secrets.
00:20:59Someone.
00:21:13A traitor.
00:21:15I know where to find Mephisto.
00:21:19Our deadliest enemy.
00:21:22Mephisto.
00:21:46Commissioner.
00:21:53Inspector?
00:21:55You wanted all the Luxembourg files?
00:21:57It's unofficial.
00:21:59Oh.
00:22:01It's everything, I'm afraid.
00:22:04No mention of the name Mephisto.
00:22:09No mention of the name Mephisto.
00:22:17Oh, and there's the cigarettes you found.
00:22:21Two different types.
00:22:23Probably two different people.
00:22:26Seems like our killer has someone alongside helping him.
00:22:30This is cheap. Hand-rolled.
00:22:34This is expensive.
00:22:37I'll make some inquiries.
00:22:39The paper or the tobacco mix may be traceable.
00:22:46Are you going back into the case again?
00:22:49I'm not sure, Fräulein.
00:22:51Maybe.
00:22:55What I really need to do
00:22:58is get into the mind of a dead man.
00:23:01What?
00:23:03Franz Burgstahler is in his grave.
00:23:06There's someone I need to pay a call on.
00:23:15Ah, here he is at last.
00:23:18The weary traveller. Come back to us at last.
00:23:21My love, welcome home.
00:23:24How was it? How is America, ma'am?
00:23:26I scarcely had a chance to sit down.
00:23:28My hands ache from all the palms I've been pressing.
00:23:30My jaw aches from the lecture talk.
00:23:32Wasn't you wonderful?
00:23:33I stayed at the Vanderbilt.
00:23:34No idea what that means, but it sounds impressive.
00:23:36It's a famous hotel.
00:23:37Fancy our son, Max, mixing with New York society.
00:23:42Leia! Look who's back.
00:23:44Oh, hurrah. It's little Freud.
00:23:47We can all look forward to being analysed again at dinner.
00:23:50You know, I've missed you.
00:23:51Gosh, that actually sounds like you mean it.
00:23:56Come in. Come in and have something to eat.
00:23:58She's prepared a banquet for your return.
00:24:00I hope you haven't had dinner yet.
00:24:02Well, I'm sure I could force something down for you.
00:24:09Clara said she had a postcard from you.
00:24:12Two, in fact.
00:24:14Stop fishing, Mama.
00:24:15Who's fishing?
00:24:16You are.
00:24:18We're friends again. Can't we just leave it at that?
00:24:23Do I detect a change of image?
00:24:25Yes. I noticed it too, actually.
00:24:27Lord and Taylor. New York fashions.
00:24:30Did you meet lots of famous people?
00:24:31I signed a lot of books.
00:24:32You probably made a bit of money.
00:24:35Well, some.
00:24:37Don't be modest. It doesn't suit you.
00:24:40I guess all right. Rather a lot, as it happens.
00:24:42Your apartment's still let, I gather, until the end of the month.
00:24:46We've put you in your old room.
00:24:47It's fine.
00:24:48Yes. Isn't it splendid?
00:24:50Mama can come up and tuck you in bed each night, just like old times.
00:24:57Stop teasing the poor boy.
00:24:59At least let me get my breath back before you start.
00:25:02Yes, Anna. What is it?
00:25:04A policeman at the door, sir.
00:25:10Here we go again.
00:25:12Oh, dear. Has someone died?
00:25:16Sorry. I mean...
00:25:18Hello, Oscar.
00:25:23It's been too long. How have you been?
00:25:27Well, my career has had its twists and turns.
00:25:33How about you?
00:25:35I've been reading about you in the newspapers.
00:25:37Ah.
00:25:38Head of department at the hospital.
00:25:40Yes, well, after that business with Neumann, they had no choice but to promote me.
00:25:43Yeah.
00:25:44And there really was no one else willing and available.
00:25:46And now your fame has spread across the herring pond.
00:25:49New York's over here, preaching the gospel of Freudianism.
00:25:54Yes, they seem to love it over there.
00:25:57Which reminds me.
00:25:59I have this for you.
00:26:01From New York.
00:26:09Thanks.
00:26:13For your little coffee bean habit.
00:26:16That is incredibly generous of you.
00:26:25So, to what do I owe this pleasure?
00:26:29Well, you're right. I came about a case.
00:26:33It's a murder case, Franz Burgstahler.
00:26:36Actually, the case has already been closed.
00:26:39The killer has been gunned down.
00:26:42Right. So, what's at stake?
00:26:55A traitor.
00:26:56Diplomatic missions. Sabotaged. Destroyed.
00:27:00These missions were covert.
00:27:02It would need to be someone at the center of political power.
00:27:05And Strasser was chasing him.
00:27:07He was murdered because of this, I'm sure.
00:27:10He tried to unmask the traitor.
00:27:12The police think it was a street criminal who shot him.
00:27:17But you know different.
00:27:19All right.
00:27:21There's one person who can identify the traitor.
00:27:24Excellent.
00:27:25Franz Burgstahler.
00:27:27I see.
00:27:29And he's dead.
00:27:38We just need to talk to you.
00:27:40How long were you with Franz Burgstahler?
00:27:43I don't know.
00:27:45We just need to talk to you.
00:27:47How long were you with Franz Burgstahler?
00:27:50Over a year, nearly two.
00:27:54And you were his lover?
00:27:56I'm not naive.
00:27:59I know exactly how Franz made his money.
00:28:04But he was charming. He flattered me.
00:28:08He spent a fortune on me.
00:28:09He spent a fortune on me.
00:28:13Did Franz perhaps have contact with someone high up in society?
00:28:19I don't know. He was a crook, an arms dealer.
00:28:22His friends were thieves and criminals.
00:28:32Something else?
00:28:36What?
00:28:37Something you were about to say.
00:28:43No.
00:28:45No, it's nothing.
00:28:48A piece that doesn't quite fit.
00:28:51Something that surprised you about him.
00:28:56He had a friend he spoke about.
00:28:59Someone he sometimes visited.
00:29:01At the palace.
00:29:03Palace?
00:29:05That's what he said.
00:29:08They were involved in some sort of enterprise.
00:29:12A singer.
00:29:14Do you have a name?
00:29:16Senor Carillo.
00:29:18A Spaniard.
00:29:38The ship sailed on smooth waves.
00:29:46Now the queen and her dwarf
00:29:54looked up at the sky filled with clouds.
00:30:04The tempo is too fast.
00:30:05Take it slower, please.
00:30:07He's good.
00:30:15Let's find out why Burgstahler liked him so much.
00:30:20Name?
00:30:21Elias.
00:30:28Thank you. You're welcome.
00:30:31Name?
00:30:32Oskar Reinhardt, inspector.
00:30:37Leopoldstadt Constabulary.
00:30:41I need you to accompany me to the station.
00:30:55Franz Burgstahler.
00:30:56Franz Burgstahler.
00:31:01I don't know that name.
00:31:04No reason why you should.
00:31:06Except we believe he was a fan of yours.
00:31:09He came to meet you when you sang in Vienna.
00:31:12So we're told.
00:31:15I have many devoted fans, inspector.
00:31:18Why would this one be of special interest to me?
00:31:24He was shot.
00:31:27And killed.
00:31:30Maybe you read about it.
00:31:35I'm afraid I don't know this man.
00:31:38You've been misinformed.
00:31:40Someone close to Burgstahler told us you were involved in an enterprise together.
00:31:49Do you ever perform for royalty, Señor Carrillo?
00:31:53Ever summoned to a palace?
00:31:57No, never.
00:31:59What exactly is all this nonsense about?
00:32:04Franz Burgstahler was killed because he threatened to reveal someone's secret identity.
00:32:11Might you be in danger also?
00:32:14Is there anything further I have a concert to give?
00:32:17Of course. You're free to leave, Constable.
00:32:35Palace. That's what she told us.
00:32:39Doesn't make any sense.
00:32:41A crook like Burgstahler would never get access to a royal residence.
00:32:45I'm sorry for dragging you in here again.
00:32:50I needed you with me.
00:32:53I needed you to meet him.
00:32:55Mephisto must be someone at the centre of political power.
00:32:59How could Burgstahler enter his orbit?
00:33:06It's me.
00:33:08You're not Burgstahler.
00:33:10It's me. I need to talk to you.
00:33:13As far as I am concerned, our business is now settled.
00:33:19Damn you!
00:33:21Why don't you answer me?
00:33:24Tell me that that is paid!
00:33:39Come.
00:33:48Theresa.
00:33:51Ayla.
00:33:53Oscar.
00:33:56How are you?
00:33:59I'm well.
00:34:02It's good to see you.
00:34:04What are you doing here?
00:34:07I...
00:34:09You remember my husband, Wenzel?
00:34:12Of course.
00:34:15What's going on?
00:34:17Theresa, can we just go?
00:34:20Can you wait for me?
00:34:22I'll just be a moment.
00:34:32He was drunk last night.
00:34:35Got into a fight.
00:34:36Spent the night in the cells.
00:34:40Is everything all right between you?
00:34:43Yes.
00:34:45Please don't worry about it.
00:34:48It's not your concern.
00:34:53How's Anna?
00:34:55She's fine. Growing up.
00:34:59Does she still like books?
00:35:02Yes.
00:35:03Yes.
00:35:05More than ever.
00:35:07She's started to write poems now.
00:35:10Oh.
00:35:12Smart girl.
00:35:14I should be going.
00:35:16He's waiting.
00:35:20It's good to see you again.
00:35:25Take care of yourself, Oscar.
00:35:34Bye.
00:35:57You too, Theresa.
00:35:59You too.
00:36:03Bye.
00:36:24Rainer?
00:36:28Herr Direktor.
00:36:30We've not had a chance to speak.
00:36:31I was Strasser's number two at the Ministry.
00:36:33Yes, of course.
00:36:35We all miss him.
00:36:37Big shoes to fill.
00:36:40They identified his killer.
00:36:43No need for a trial now.
00:36:45Still, there are some questions unanswered.
00:36:49I'm no longer involved in the case, Herr Direktor.
00:36:53We both know the commissioner relies on you.
00:37:00If you have any information, I'd be obliged if you'd bring it straight to me.
00:37:23What?
00:37:26A death.
00:37:28Suspicious.
00:37:30I thought you might want it.
00:37:33Von Bülow warned that we have any murder cases.
00:37:36You'll want this one.
00:37:40The singer.
00:37:42The singer.
00:37:44The singer.
00:37:46The singer.
00:37:48The singer.
00:37:50The singer.
00:37:52The singer.
00:38:16Reinhard, you're with the police.
00:38:18I've cleared the building.
00:38:20Good. Where's the body?
00:38:22Hmm.
00:38:34You found him?
00:38:36I did.
00:38:43I came in early and saw the body.
00:38:46You keep a record of who goes in and out?
00:38:50Most clients prefer to remain anonymous.
00:38:54No wallet, no possessions.
00:38:57Just this.
00:39:03A very deep cut.
00:39:05Like the French revolutionary.
00:39:08Died in his bathtub.
00:39:10No other signs of breathing.
00:39:12No other signs of breathing.
00:39:15No evidence that he fought back.
00:39:18The day after we interview him,
00:39:20Carrillo gets killed.
00:39:23Does that sound like a coincidence to you?
00:39:26No, sir.
00:39:36Mephisto.
00:39:38He knows we're coming for him.
00:39:43No.
00:39:55These are all the personal belongings we found in Carrillo's home.
00:39:58Thank you, Maya.
00:40:00Of course.
00:40:13Evidently, you earned a great deal on tour.
00:40:16Hey, Inspector, look at these.
00:40:28Letters from admirers.
00:40:30Hundreds of them.
00:40:35What's this?
00:40:37A letter.
00:40:39What's this?
00:40:42It's a cipher text.
00:40:44Used for deciphering codes.
00:40:46What would he be doing with it?
00:40:48Hand me a letter, please.
00:40:59C-K-H-U.
00:41:02Doesn't make any sense.
00:41:08Try another.
00:41:26It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
00:41:38Hmm.
00:42:08Hmm.
00:42:19We've been through them all.
00:42:21Maybe they are all just fan mail.
00:42:35The stamp.
00:42:36What?
00:42:38It's postmarked Vienna.
00:42:41Just arrived, the letter wasn't open.
00:42:44Why so valuable?
00:42:46It's expensive for a small letter like this.
00:42:48This is the stamp my parents used when they sent me letters to America.
00:42:52Someone wanted to make sure he got it.
00:42:55Why, Oscar?
00:42:57There was nothing special about the letter.
00:43:01We should check again.
00:43:07Where is it?
00:43:23Oscar.
00:43:30Oscar.
00:43:36Oscar.
00:43:55One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.
00:44:06One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.
00:44:14One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.
00:44:22Vegas on 22nd.
00:44:29Hold on a moment.
00:44:37Here.
00:44:39Rieger's Palace.
00:44:41It's a casino.
00:44:43Maybe whoever sent the message doesn't know who's dead.
00:44:46Maybe they'll still be expecting him.
00:44:48Wait.
00:44:52A gambling token.
00:44:54Seems like Mephisto has a network.
00:44:56And Rieger's Palace is their rendezvous.
00:44:59We need an undercover operation.
00:45:01We?
00:45:03Yes, why not?
00:45:04We've done it before.
00:45:05I can play a role.
00:45:07You?
00:45:08Yes.
00:45:10A wealthy gambler.
00:45:12An English lord.
00:45:13Old money.
00:45:14You can be my valet.
00:45:16What?
00:45:18Well, maybe not.
00:45:20Maybe an Austrian nobleman.
00:45:23I don't know.
00:45:24Maybe not.
00:45:25Maybe an Austrian nobleman.
00:45:29But you can't show up like this.
00:45:30You need to blend in with the crowd.
00:45:32Dress up a bit.
00:45:34Oh.
00:45:36And we need cash in order to make the deception seem real.
00:45:40I can't just go to the commissioner and ask.
00:45:43We need to keep this investigation secret.
00:45:48Your lecture tour.
00:45:49Hm?
00:45:51Didn't you say you made some money?
00:45:54Well, I'm not eager to gamble it all away.
00:45:57You just need to spend enough to make it look convincing.
00:46:03Right.
00:46:04I suppose.
00:46:05Yes.
00:46:09Welcome to the case, Doctor.
00:46:12I think it's my turn to say it.
00:46:15It's definitely my turn.
00:46:25Yes.
00:46:26That looks good on you.
00:46:27I haven't worn it for years.
00:46:31Aha.
00:46:33Ha ha ha.
00:46:34Max.
00:46:35Is this suitable?
00:46:38What are you dressed up for, Leia?
00:46:41If you think you're going to Riga's without me,
00:46:43you can think again.
00:46:44We're going there for work.
00:46:45You're not invited.
00:46:47Oh, I hear everyone says it's absolute heaven.
00:46:50I'm not missing this opportunity to make my friends
00:46:52insanely jealous.
00:46:53Not a chance.
00:46:54You take me with you, Max,
00:46:56or I swear you'll never hear the last of it.
00:46:58What is it you're up to?
00:47:00Ah, gambling.
00:47:01Casino.
00:47:02Oh, is that quite proper?
00:47:04No, it's not forbidden in the Talmud.
00:47:06Your Uncle Harry was a gambler.
00:47:08Lost everything.
00:47:10Never heard of Uncle Harry?
00:47:11No, well, we don't speak about him.
00:47:14Why are you dressed like that?
00:47:16I'm pretending to be an English lord.
00:47:18Well, the Talmud forbids lying.
00:47:20It's not lying, Lamar.
00:47:21It's dressing up.
00:47:24Now, Leia.
00:47:25I'm serious, Max.
00:47:27You're not going without me.
00:47:29Who's that?
00:47:30Oh, I mentioned it to a friend.
00:47:32I asked if she wanted to come along.
00:47:34Yes, fine.
00:47:35Let's invite everyone.
00:47:43Apparently, you're taking me out somewhere nice, Max.
00:47:46It's here.
00:47:47Everyone, get ready.
00:47:49Oh, I forgot my coat.
00:47:52I say, how splendid.
00:47:54What's the point in earning money if you're not going to spend it?
00:47:57Have a good evening.
00:48:01Oh, Max!
00:48:02Yes, remember, we're going there to work.
00:48:03Oh, don't worry.
00:48:04I'll behave myself.
00:48:07Oh, my God.
00:48:08Oh, my God.
00:48:09Oh, my God.
00:48:10Oh, my God.
00:48:11Oh, my God.
00:48:12Oh, my God.
00:48:13Oh, my God.
00:48:14I'll behave myself.
00:48:28I feel like everyone's looking at us.
00:48:31That's the point.
00:48:33We're supposed to look dazzling.
00:48:35As you do.
00:48:36Tell me something.
00:48:38How do rich people think?
00:48:40Just complain a lot.
00:48:41These boots are purgatory.
00:48:43I can barely walk.
00:48:46Ladies and gentlemen,
00:48:48we are so happy to entertain you.
00:48:50My name is Karna.
00:48:51Anything you need, just ask.
00:48:54I'm the casino manager.
00:48:55Your coat, sir.
00:48:56Madam.
00:48:58May I inquire as to your names for our register?
00:49:00Coat, please.
00:49:02Yes.
00:49:04I am Lord Sadler, from England.
00:49:06And this is?
00:49:07Lady Sadler.
00:49:08And this is?
00:49:09Lady Sadler.
00:49:11And Duchess Gertrude.
00:49:13Wife and mother.
00:49:14Sister.
00:49:22And this is?
00:49:24Erne.
00:49:25Count von Trauchtmann's?
00:49:27Dorf.
00:49:39Max.
00:49:41Look.
00:49:43Just like the one carry your head in his pocket.
00:49:48He may still have something stored here.
00:49:52We need to look.
00:49:56This way.
00:50:05Welcome to Regas.
00:50:06Welcome to Regas.
00:50:08The house is packed tonight.
00:50:14People come from all over Europe.
00:50:16We have pontoon.
00:50:17Dice is a house favorite.
00:50:20We have card games, including Chemin de Fer.
00:50:24Or you can take a seat by the roulette wheel.
00:50:26Fourteen red.
00:50:28Our trophies are the very best.
00:50:32Champagne for my guests.
00:50:42Oh, dear.
00:50:43Lady Sadler, look.
00:50:46Not as luxurious as the Daniele.
00:50:50I apologize.
00:50:51This evening's entertainment has been canceled.
00:50:54Well, I suppose we'll just have to manage.
00:51:00This place is amazing, Max.
00:51:03I've never seen anything quite like it.
00:51:05I've got a job to do.
00:51:07Find out what Carrillo is up to.
00:51:08Keep your eyes open.
00:51:11Don't get too drunk.
00:51:14Why are you looking at me when you say that?
00:51:18So what do we do first?
00:51:21They need to see that I'm legitimate.
00:51:22A high role.
00:51:24One big ostentatious gamble.
00:51:28I'm going to have a look at that cloakroom, Max.
00:51:32Come on. Let's find a table.
00:51:33No.
00:51:41Chips, please.
00:51:43Five hundred.
00:51:54How does this work?
00:51:55Don't be so diffident.
00:51:57Hide it back like you mean things.
00:51:58My lord, your chips.
00:52:00You're Lord Sadler, after all.
00:52:03You own 5,000 acres.
00:52:06Who said my estate was that big?
00:52:07I did.
00:52:09Just now.
00:52:10Make more of a fuss of me. Pet me.
00:52:12What?
00:52:13Stroke me like I'm a possession.
00:52:15Is that really necessary?
00:52:17That's how powerful men behave. Leia said I was your wife.
00:52:20Yes, that was her idea, not mine.
00:52:22All part of the deception.
00:52:23Madame?
00:52:24Would you get us more drinks, please?
00:52:26Waiter.
00:52:28A champagne for the ladies, please.
00:52:30And for you, sir?
00:52:31A gin and ricky.
00:52:34I'm sorry, sir. What is that? I don't know it.
00:52:38It doesn't matter. Never mind.
00:52:40Actually, I suggest you find out.
00:52:44Before I have you fired.
00:52:47Sir.
00:52:49Better.
00:52:51Any more bets?
00:52:53Better.
00:52:55Thank you. Any more bets?
00:53:01Ah.
00:53:09My friend left something.
00:53:11Senor Carrillo.
00:53:13He asked me to get it for him.
00:53:15Sir, do you have a ticket?
00:53:18Sorry, I forgot it.
00:53:19Then I'm afraid I can't help you.
00:53:32You were asking for Carrillo.
00:53:35Why?
00:53:37I...
00:53:39Um...
00:53:40What was your name again?
00:53:43Count.
00:53:47You are no count.
00:53:49All bets down.
00:53:52Thirty-six. Reds.
00:53:57Oh, my gosh.
00:53:58This doesn't seem to be as difficult as people make out.
00:54:02Oh, good.
00:54:03Something else he excels at.
00:54:05Congratulations, sir.
00:54:10Are you sure you want to risk that much?
00:54:12Oh, give such a boy a chance.
00:54:14I don't want to risk it.
00:54:16I don't want to risk it.
00:54:18I don't want to risk it.
00:54:20Oh, give such a ball.
00:54:21I'm just starting to enjoy myself.
00:54:23You're meant to be pretending, not actually getting sucked in.
00:54:34Aren't we supposed to be here for a reason?
00:54:51I can't accept that bet, sir.
00:54:54Sorry?
00:54:55I can't accept it at this table.
00:54:58This chip is meant for a special game.
00:55:02Which game is that?
00:55:04I am not at liberty to say, sir.
00:55:14Welcome to Riga's.
00:55:18I don't think we've met.
00:55:19Helena Riga, proprietress.
00:55:23Can I beg a moment alone with you, my lord?
00:55:25Of course.
00:55:36Magnificent establishment you've got here.
00:55:40My father bequeathed it to me.
00:55:43I've been the proprietress for seven years now.
00:55:47Not a person comes through that door that I don't see.
00:55:51I know gamblers.
00:55:52I know their foibles.
00:55:54I see every little quirk of nature.
00:55:59Rather like a neurologist making a diagnosis.
00:56:05For example, that woman you came in with.
00:56:08My wife?
00:56:09Yes.
00:56:11I could tell at once she's nothing of the kind.
00:56:13The way she looks at you, the way she reacts.
00:56:15She's playing a part.
00:56:16Quite skillfully, but I could spot it.
00:56:19You think she's not in love with me?
00:56:21Ah, no.
00:56:22I didn't say that.
00:56:26Still, quite plainly, you're in love with her, though.
00:56:28Am I right?
00:56:34Perhaps you don't like to admit it.
00:56:37But everyone's secrets can be uncovered if you know the signals.
00:56:43Anything else?
00:56:44Well, now you mention it, you're not a lord at all.
00:56:48Well, the nobility have a kind of certainty in their manner.
00:56:52They're comfortable giving orders without seeming embarrassed about doing so.
00:56:57Really?
00:56:58Mm-hm.
00:57:02So that begs a question.
00:57:04Why the pretense?
00:57:08And what were you doing with that gaming chip, hm?
00:57:11Apparently, it's used for a special game.
00:57:18Would you care to tell me which one?
00:57:21Would you care to tell me how you got a hold of it first?
00:57:24I know who you are.
00:57:26I knew the moment you arrived.
00:57:27So, the famous Dr. Lieberman.
00:57:30And that must make you Inspector Reinhardt.
00:57:34What are you doing here?
00:57:38These people are helping me with an investigation.
00:57:42Into what, exactly?
00:57:46I don't know.
00:57:48I'm just here to see if I can help you.
00:57:51I don't know what you're talking about.
00:57:53Into what, exactly?
00:58:00Do you recognize this man?
00:58:03Naturally, I read the news.
00:58:07Has he ever been here?
00:58:12I've never met him.
00:58:14Plainly, you're badly informed, Inspector.
00:58:24How about this one?
00:58:30Senor Carrillo was a regular visitor here.
00:58:33Sometimes he performed.
00:58:35He was due to sing here tonight.
00:58:37I heard about his death, Inspector.
00:58:39Tragic.
00:58:42That gaming chip.
00:58:45It was found in Carrillo's apartment.
00:58:49What does it signify?
00:58:50It's reserved for a particular game where only the high rollers play.
00:58:54And Carrillo was a part of it.
00:59:02I wonder what's taking him so long.
00:59:06Sounds to me like you're jealous.
00:59:10What?
00:59:13I know there's something going on.
00:59:16Max, I'm sorry.
00:59:17I know there's something going on.
00:59:19Max bought us all presents from New York.
00:59:22He hasn't given them out.
00:59:24But I peeked inside the bag.
00:59:27There's one with your name on.
00:59:30That's kind of him.
00:59:32Bigger than the others.
00:59:34More expensive.
00:59:36Said Marcon on the label.
00:59:39Jewelry.
00:59:42What's the psychology behind that, I wonder?
00:59:45Stop it, Leah.
00:59:47I know he wrote you.
00:59:49Mama was talking about it.
00:59:53Oh, come on.
00:59:55Tell me.
00:59:57Is there something going on?
00:59:59Nothing.
01:00:01Except your imagination running wild.
01:00:04He's in love with you.
01:00:06He never stopped.
01:00:08You really are incorrigible.
01:00:10Tell me I'm wrong.
01:00:17You can't.
01:00:26You need to get his access.
01:00:28It's a secret room.
01:00:30The players insist on privacy.
01:00:33This is a murder investigation, Freyja.
01:00:36Would you rather we closed you down?
01:00:39Don't try to threaten me, Inspector.
01:00:42You'd have to convince half the government to shut me down.
01:00:44I know too many powerful people.
01:00:45Everyone is a client of mine.
01:00:51What if we could raise a stake?
01:00:54Why?
01:00:56Join the game.
01:00:58No one need know who we are.
01:01:00Actually, I'm quite a role.
01:01:08The basic stake is 1,000 Kronen.
01:01:11You can join the table tomorrow night.
01:01:16What's the game?
01:01:32What's the matter?
01:01:34Nothing.
01:01:38Just something someone said to me.
01:01:42They were observing us and they said that
01:01:46you were play-acting.
01:01:48But you clearly weren't my wife.
01:01:53Well, I'm not, am I?
01:01:57It was all part of their deception.
01:02:01Yes.
01:02:04It's just it
01:02:07made me realize.
01:02:16What?
01:02:31So 1,000 Kronen on a game of Chemin de Verte?
01:02:35Yes, and I'm not sure I can even remember how to play it.
01:02:38It's ludicrously simple.
01:02:40Nine is a winning score.
01:02:42You bet on which hand you think is closest to nine.
01:02:43Subtract 10 if it's over, so 11 is the same as one.
01:02:46Yes.
01:02:48You can ask for a third card,
01:02:50but only if your opponent hasn't got an eight or a nine.
01:02:52Face cards are nothing, so this is a four.
01:02:55The winner.
01:02:57And it's just lined up which of them is nearest.
01:02:59Yes. No skill, just nerve.
01:03:02So how do we raise the money?
01:03:04I did all right tonight.
01:03:07You made a fortune.
01:03:09Did you?
01:03:11Yes. Surely that's enough.
01:03:13More than enough.
01:03:15Good. Oscar and I will return tomorrow night.
01:03:18What about me and Clara?
01:03:22It's too dangerous.
01:03:24Kirill's contacted me, Turner.
01:03:27All right.
01:03:29So you can try to get into the game,
01:03:31and I'll see what's in the cloakroom.
01:03:33Foylen.
01:03:35Finally, I can change out of these boots.
01:03:37Good night.
01:03:39Oh, all this play acting has done me in.
01:03:42I think I might go to bed too.
01:03:44Good night.
01:04:01Well,
01:04:03Lord Settler, this is where I slip out of character.
01:04:05I think I'm done pretending for one evening.
01:04:09You know, I wrote to you from New York because…
01:04:19Because I still have feelings for you.
01:04:28Do you really want to do all this again?
01:04:31Tell me you feel nothing for me,
01:04:33and I promise I won't bring it up again.
01:04:36One word from you,
01:04:38and I'll be silent forever.
01:04:45Max, please.
01:05:00Max.
01:05:28Dear God.
01:05:31God.
01:05:38I didn't know where else to go. I'm sorry.
01:05:41No, no, no, no.
01:05:43I'm glad you came here. Sit down.
01:05:45Where's Hannah?
01:05:47At school.
01:05:49He did this?
01:05:51Where is he now?
01:05:53At home.
01:06:00The key for this apartment.
01:06:02You'll be safe. Bring Hannah too.
01:06:04Where are you going?
01:06:06To make sure you'll never have to see him again.
01:06:31God.
01:06:41Hannah O'Farrill.
01:06:45Hannah O'Farrill.
01:07:01God.
01:07:13I'm only going to say this once.
01:07:15Get out of Vienna.
01:07:17And don't come back.
01:07:19I don't want you hanging around here.
01:07:21Do you understand?
01:07:31Who the hell are you
01:07:33to order me around?
01:07:35I'm not going anywhere.
01:07:45Look.
01:07:46Oh, you look.
01:07:48If you ever lay a finger on her again,
01:07:50I'll kill you.
01:08:01So,
01:08:03are you ready to meet him?
01:08:05Yes, of course.
01:08:07Don't be nervous.
01:08:09He's something of a legend,
01:08:11but he likes his reporters to be straight with him.
01:08:13So, just be yourself.
01:08:16Why do they call him the Baron?
01:08:18It's from his time in England.
01:08:20It's slang they used there.
01:08:22It's a way of saying,
01:08:24you know,
01:08:26you know,
01:08:28you know,
01:08:30yeah, press baron means the proprietor.
01:08:58So I wanted to meet you.
01:09:01I've been reading your interviews.
01:09:04You write well.
01:09:09A little flowery for my taste.
01:09:14But you have talent.
01:09:22You know what they say about me?
01:09:25I know that most people fear you
01:09:26and that you have access
01:09:28to most of the politicians in Vienna.
01:09:30Yes, that's right.
01:09:32So, the situation in Europe
01:09:34is gradually becoming more strained.
01:09:36We're looking to expand our political coverage.
01:09:40We need someone to write a regular column
01:09:42reporting on the situation in the East.
01:09:44Your name came up.
01:09:46You have a common touch.
01:09:48And I thought you might appeal to women,
01:09:50expand our readership.
01:09:53I'm not sure I can do that.
01:09:54Expand our readership?
01:09:57This country is a powder keg,
01:09:59and it's our responsibility
01:10:01to make sure that it doesn't go off.
01:10:03War with Serbia must be averted.
01:10:08You want me to preach a doctrine of peace?
01:10:11Is that going to be difficult?
01:10:15No.
01:10:26Good-looking.
01:10:28And ambitious.
01:10:30She could do very well for us.
01:10:33You want to have dinner with me?
01:10:35I'm meeting someone.
01:10:37Another politician spilling his secrets?
01:10:39I'm meeting someone.
01:10:41Another politician spilling his secrets?
01:11:09I'm meeting someone.
01:11:39I'm meeting someone.
01:11:59Take me back.
01:12:00What?
01:12:04I'm a journalist, Max.
01:12:06You really think I'm going to miss this opportunity?
01:12:10Take me back to Regis.
01:12:26So, what is it about gamblers?
01:12:29How do you mean?
01:12:31Well, Freud must have some insights.
01:12:33Are they just natural thrill-seekers?
01:12:35People who want to live dangerously?
01:12:36What's the attraction? I don't see it.
01:12:39Guilt.
01:12:41What?
01:12:43Freud would say all gamblers harbour
01:12:45some deep residual guilt about something.
01:12:47Really?
01:12:49Because deep down in the depths of their psyche,
01:12:51they know they're going to lose.
01:12:53They're seeking punishment.
01:12:58Interesting.
01:12:59Interesting.
01:13:05And does that remind you of anyone?
01:13:10I think you never quite got past what happened between us.
01:13:13I think you keep obsessing about it.
01:13:18You never answered my question, Clara.
01:13:24Time to go.
01:13:30Your tickets, sir.
01:13:37I need to go back to the drug room.
01:13:39Find what career left there.
01:13:41I'll come and find you.
01:13:43Lord Sadler?
01:13:47No more bets.
01:13:49No more bets.
01:13:51No more bets.
01:13:53No more bets.
01:13:55No more bets.
01:13:57No more bets.
01:13:5932 red.
01:14:01No more bets.
01:14:03Lord Sadler?
01:14:05This way, if you wish to join the private game.
01:14:08Yes, ma'am.
01:14:10My apologies. Better if you come alone.
01:14:30Every gambler's always looking for the next big thrill.
01:14:34You need to understand what you're getting into here.
01:14:59Come on.
01:15:25My father's trade was steel.
01:15:27Built off the railroads in Austria.
01:15:29The bridges that spanned the Danube.
01:15:31Gambling was his private passion.
01:15:35See, he built the casino on the site of an old mine.
01:15:40The ore that was used to make the steel came from inside these tunnels.
01:15:53All part of the ritual.
01:16:30Ladies and gentlemen.
01:16:32A new gamer will be joining us tonight.
01:16:35The Englishman.
01:16:38The soldier.
01:16:42The baron.
01:16:44And this is the actress.
01:16:49Please take your place.
01:16:51The usual stakes.
01:16:541,000 minimum and no upper limit.
01:17:00In this room, there is no restriction on what you can bet.
01:17:06You can bet anything.
01:17:08Anything.
01:17:10Anything.
01:17:12Anything.
01:17:15Anything.
01:17:17Anything.
01:17:19Enjoy your evening.
01:17:23So, shall we begin?
01:17:43You seem reticent, friend.
01:17:45There is no strategy.
01:17:50We are powerless in fate's hands.
01:17:53That's what makes it so delicious.
01:18:04A simple choice, my friend.
01:18:06Are you going to wager or not?
01:18:08Are you going to wager or not?
01:18:38Are you going to wager or not?
01:19:08Are you going to wager or not?
01:19:38Come on.
01:20:08Come on.
01:20:38Come on.
01:20:59My God.
01:21:08My God.
01:21:38My God.
01:22:08My God.
01:22:18You're an actress.
01:22:22Should I have seen you on the stage?
01:22:24We don't talk about our lives here.
01:22:28Unless we wish to gamble with them.
01:22:32What do you mean?
01:22:38What do you mean?
01:23:09Well, well.
01:23:11Another victory for the Englishman.
01:23:14So, Englishman,
01:23:16what more would you care to wager?
01:23:20Trying to goad me into putting down more money?
01:23:22No, I wasn't talking about money.
01:23:26What, then?
01:23:28That woman you came with,
01:23:30I saw her in the bar.
01:23:33How much is she worth to you?
01:23:35How much is she worth to you?
01:23:38Would you care to wager her?
01:23:43You actually gamble with people?
01:23:46People, possessions, secrets,
01:23:50anything of value.
01:23:52The thrill is greater than you could imagine.
01:23:55Why don't you try it?
01:23:59Why?
01:24:00Well, I sense that somewhere deep in your soul
01:24:05you're truly tempted.
01:24:08You feign disgust.
01:24:11But the idea is just a little thrilling.
01:24:16No excitement without risk, my friend.
01:24:20Well?
01:24:24I think a break is needed.
01:24:27Perhaps you would all care to refill your glasses?
01:24:31Come with me.
01:24:32Whiskey, please.
01:24:48I can't believe what I've just witnessed.
01:24:50How can you allow it to go on?
01:24:52I just feed an addiction.
01:24:54I don't trade in morals.
01:24:57You asked if you could meet with them.
01:25:00I've kept my part of the bargain.
01:25:03Where are you going?
01:25:05I want my friend to leave.
01:25:07I don't want her to become part of a wager.
01:25:09Excuse me.
01:25:33No!
01:26:03Come on.
01:26:33Drop the weapon!
01:27:33I love you.
01:28:04Dear God.
01:28:06You look awful.
01:28:08Oscar, what's happened?
01:28:10I'm lost.
01:28:13And I'm alone.
01:28:14Worst thing I've ever faced.
01:28:44No!
01:29:14No!
01:29:15No!
01:29:16No!
01:29:17No!
01:29:18No!
01:29:19No!
01:29:20No!
01:29:21No!
01:29:22No!
01:29:23No!
01:29:24No!
01:29:25No!
01:29:26No!
01:29:27No!
01:29:28No!
01:29:29No!
01:29:30No!
01:29:31No!
01:29:32No!
01:29:33No!
01:29:34No!
01:29:35No!
01:29:36No!
01:29:37No!
01:29:38No!
01:29:39No!
01:29:40No!
01:29:41No!
01:29:42No!
