1. On December 25, an airplane
was sighted off the coast of Barcelona.
Copy !req
2. It was flying empty.
Copy !req
3. Investigation of this case
reached into the highest circles...
Copy !req
4. and the scandal
was very nearly responsible...
Copy !req
5. for the fall
of at least one European government.
Copy !req
6. This motion picture is
a fictionalized reconstruction...
Copy !req
7. of the events leading up to
the appearance last Christmas morning...
Copy !req
8. of the empty plane.
Copy !req
9. Here I am, at the end of the road ‒
Copy !req
10. Naples, France, Spain, Mexico...
Copy !req
11. and now Munich -
Sebastianplatz 16.
Copy !req
12. In the attic of this house
lives Jakob Zouk...
Copy !req
13. a petty racketeer, a jailbird...
Copy !req
14. and the last man alive,
besides me...
Copy !req
15. who knows the whole truth
about Gregory Arkadin.
Copy !req
16. My confidential report
is complete now.
Copy !req
17. My original fee for this job
was $15,000...
Copy !req
18. and it looks like a little bonus
will be tossed in ‒
Copy !req
19. like a knife in my back.
Copy !req
20. But Zouk will get his first,
unless I can save him.
Copy !req
21. Yeah, and then me...
Copy !req
22. the world's prize sucker.
Copy !req
23. Jakob Zouk!
Copy !req
24. Jakob Zouk?
Copy !req
25. Jakob Zouk?
Copy !req
26. I'm sorry, but you're gonna
have to talk to me.
Copy !req
27. We've gotta get out of here.
Copy !req
28. Look, if we don't start moving,
you're gonna be killed.
Copy !req
29. I mean that ‒ murdered!
Copy !req
30. I'm a dying man with no money.
Copy !req
31. Somebody wants to kill me?
Copy !req
32. - He's wasting his time.
- No money, huh?
Copy !req
33. How would you like to earn 500 marks?
Copy !req
34. Huh?
Copy !req
35. And who are you, Santa Claus?
Copy !req
36. I'm the one that's gonna keep you
from getting murdered.
Copy !req
37. If I can save your life, I can save mine.
We've got to stick together.
Copy !req
38. - Who are you?
- My name is Van Stratten.
Copy !req
39. The first time I heard the name Arkadin
was in Naples.
Copy !req
40. That man, Bracco,
told it to my girl, Mily.
Copy !req
41. - Mily? Who are these people?
- Mily was my girlfriend.
Copy !req
42. And Bracco gave us two names
and a way of getting rich.
Copy !req
43. Well, why should this Bracco do you a favor
if he didn't know you before?
Copy !req
44. I don't know. Maybe he had some kind
of sympathy for me. He was dying.
Copy !req
45. Oh, I'm dying, but I got no sympathy
for you whatsoever.
Copy !req
46. I don't like you either...
Copy !req
47. but I have to save your life.
Copy !req
48. I'll tell you why.
Copy !req
49. It all began one night
in the harbor at Naples.
Copy !req
50. Who is this man?
You know we can't afford any trouble.
Copy !req
51. - Go get a doctor, quick.
- Too late for a doctor.
Copy !req
52. - But the police!
- Try to keep them away.
Copy !req
53. I don't want to spend
my last few minutes with a lot of cops.
Copy !req
54. - I don't blame you.
- Guy, you didn't do it.
Copy !req
55. Of course not,
but we can't let him bleed to death.
Copy !req
56. No, mademoiselle.
Copy !req
57. It was another who stabbed me.
Copy !req
58. He got away.
Copy !req
59. Go see what's happening.
Copy !req
60. I'm Bracco.
Never mind the police.
Copy !req
61. I'll get my revenge my own way.
Listen.
Copy !req
62. All right, old man.
Take it easy. You'll be all right.
Copy !req
63. You will be rich.
Copy !req
64. Don't have pity on him, huh?
Copy !req
65. You will see.
He'll pay you millions.
Copy !req
66. Just do what I say.
Copy !req
67. Say Bracco told you all about him,
all about his past.
Copy !req
68. But who is this man?
Copy !req
69. The police - they're coming this way!
Copy !req
70. The police.
Don't tell them what I said.
Copy !req
71. - What about us? Guy, will they put me in jail too?
- Shut up!
Copy !req
72. Now, listen.
What I give to you is two names.
Copy !req
73. - You gotta tell me everything.
- This I didn't think I'd give to anyone.
Copy !req
74. It isn't money,
but it's worth millions.
Copy !req
75. You are nice to me.
It will make you rich.
Copy !req
76. It's Bracco.
The American ‒ What's he doing here?
Copy !req
77. Look, I just happened by.
I got a boat here.
Copy !req
78. - Your papers.
- I'll go on board and get 'em.
Copy !req
79. We'll come with you.
Copy !req
80. Come here. Come here.
Copy !req
81. Please, I must pay him back.
Copy !req
82. Remember, it's a secret.
Tell him you know his past.
Copy !req
83. Quick. Come over here.
Copy !req
84. Real smart cop.
Copy !req
85. You'll remember -
Copy !req
86. the name...
Copy !req
87. of the woman.
Copy !req
88. Okay. So you found the cigarettes.
This girl has no connection with my business.
Copy !req
89. - Come on, Bracco. What were you saying? What?
- Is he dead?
Copy !req
90. What do you think?
Copy !req
91. Bracco was whispering something.
Copy !req
92. Yes, Bracco was talking to you.
What was it?
Copy !req
93. He wasn't making any sense.
It was just a name. He was dying.
Copy !req
94. - What name was it?
- Arkadin.
Copy !req
95. Gregory Arkadin.
Copy !req
96. Mily wasn't waiting for me at the prison gates...
Copy !req
97. but I traced her down to Juan-les-Pins.
Copy !req
98. Smart girl.
She'd followed Bracco's hint.
Copy !req
99. Arkadin was in town.
Copy !req
100. - Mily puts on a great show, monsieur.
- No, she's not here now. She's off at a party.
Copy !req
101. - Which party?
- At the party, naturally.
Copy !req
102. This season a party means
just one thing ‒ Gregory Arkadin.
Copy !req
103. Who Arkadin really was and where
all that dough came from, nobody could tell me.
Copy !req
104. He had a villa near Monte Carlo
and a castle in Spain...
Copy !req
105. Rolls-Royce
with a special musical horn...
Copy !req
106. one of the biggest yachts
in the world...
Copy !req
107. and at least three passports.
Copy !req
108. To shake him down as Bracco had said
wasn't so easy.
Copy !req
109. He was a tough baby to get to -
bodyguards and all.
Copy !req
110. But I found he had one weak spot ‒
Copy !req
111. his daughter, Raina.
Copy !req
112. Yeah, he's real strict with her.
She's not even allowed on the yacht.
Copy !req
113. Wonder if there's any way
I can arrange to meet him?
Copy !req
114. - So that he can introduce you to the girl?
- Nah, it's a business matter.
Copy !req
115. You want to meet his daughter
so you can get to talk to him?
Copy !req
116. - Kid, you must be losing your mind.
- Or, uh, changing my luck.
Copy !req
117. Quite a looker, Miss Arkadin.
Copy !req
118. She might be tough,
but she could lead me to her father.
Copy !req
119. Then there was that boyfriend ‒
Copy !req
120. one of those titled English characters
called, uh, marquis or something or other.
Copy !req
121. The marquis of Rutleigh, but her father thinks
nobody is good enough for her, so ‒
Copy !req
122. - Is Mr. Arkadin with her?
- No, he's giving a big party.
Copy !req
123. Not the kind you'd ask your daughter to,
if you know what I mean.
Copy !req
124. - Is that the phone switchboard back there?
- Yes, sir. Right over there.
Copy !req
125. - Thanks.
- Excuse me, darling. I seem to be wanted
on the telephone. An awful bore.
Copy !req
126. Okay.
Copy !req
127. - Oh, Miss Arkadin, would you care to dance?
- No, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
128. Your friend's gonna be some time
on the long-distance phone.
Copy !req
129. How do you know Bob's
taking a long-distance call?
Copy !req
130. Who would know better?
I put the phone call in myself.
Copy !req
131. You gonna be stuffy about it, or shall we
start dancing right now and save some time?
Copy !req
132. Ecoutez! Operator!
Copy !req
133. - Miss Arkadin.
- Yes?
Copy !req
134. A message from your father. He's waiting for you
and asks you please to remember it's quite late.
Copy !req
135. Yes, but how did he learn
that you were here ‒ and so quickly?
Copy !req
136. He runs the greatest
private spy system on Earth.
Copy !req
137. Yes, I know that,
but when am I going to see you next?
Copy !req
138. - I'm leaving for Spain in the morning.
- Are you flying?
Copy !req
139. - In Father's plane? No.
- Oh, driving yourself.
Copy !req
140. - Getting an early start before dawn.
- I say, it sounds perfectly frightful.
Copy !req
141. - There he is, in the car.
- Your father?
Copy !req
142. - Better get back inside.
- I say, but look here, old girl ‒
Copy !req
143. - I'd rather he didn't see us together.
- Oh, all right.
Copy !req
144. Oh, excuse me, old man.
So sorry.
Copy !req
145. Hey, that's quite a coincidence.
Copy !req
146. I mean, you going to Spain tomorrow.
I'm going there myself, you know.
Copy !req
147. - Small world, isn't it?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
148. Hi, Pops. How was your party?
Copy !req
149. - Thanks.
- Well, what do you know?
Copy !req
150. If it isn't that well-known playboy,
Guy Van Stratten.
Copy !req
151. - Oh, there you are.
- I heard you out there.
Copy !req
152. - What's all this about Spain?
- We'll take that up in a minute.
Copy !req
153. - What were you doing at that party?
- It was on Mr. Arkadin's yacht.
Copy !req
154. Arkadin.
Do you realize what that means?
Copy !req
155. That's good for you.
That's what makes it all so crazy.
Copy !req
156. You and me are on to a big thing,
and neither one of us has any idea...
Copy !req
157. how much dough
Bracco's tip-off is worth.
Copy !req
158. - Bracco?
- He's dead.
Copy !req
159. Guy, I have to tell you something.
Copy !req
160. Yeah, just keep a table.
We'll be right in.
Copy !req
161. But, Guy, there was that other name
he whispered to me.
Copy !req
162. I mean, besides Arkadin.
It was a woman's name.
Copy !req
163. - Why didn't you tell me about it?
- The police were taking you away.
Copy !req
164. - Why didn't you write me?
- I haven't even seen you since.
What good would it have done you in jail?
Copy !req
165. For three months you've been away.
Copy !req
166. Aren't you gonna kiss me even?
Copy !req
167. So you've been to Arkadin's party, huh?
Copy !req
168. - Mm-hmm.
- How'd you make out?
Copy !req
169. Oh, there must have been
50 other girls on that boat.
Copy !req
170. Yeah. I hear he's sailing it
back to Spain.
Copy !req
171. Next week he's giving a big society ball.
Why don't you try to get yourself invited?
Copy !req
172. - To a society ball?
- On the yacht, stupid.
Copy !req
173. - All right.
- Look, darling. Get on that cruise to Spain.
Copy !req
174. - Use all your charms on him.
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
175. See what you can find out.
Copy !req
176. Throw Bracco's name at him
and the woman ‒
Copy !req
177. - That's the trouble.
- You forgot it, you mean?
Copy !req
178. You see, I couldn't hear very well.
Copy !req
179. And right after that,
what's-his-name ‒ Bracco ‒ died.
Copy !req
180. So I couldn't very well
ask him to repeat it.
Copy !req
181. Okay. Now, look.
Copy !req
182. You tell Mr. Arkadin you have a friend
who was a great pal of Bracco's.
Copy !req
183. - Don't use my name.
- Oh, Guy. Guy, be careful.
Copy !req
184. Just tell him, if he's interested,
a meeting can be arranged.
Copy !req
185. Look, it's different for me.
I'm a girl, and he's a man.
Copy !req
186. There might be an opening
in some company he controls.
Copy !req
187. You know, a bright young man
who knows things about Mr. Arkadin...
Copy !req
188. who pretends to know.
Copy !req
189. Hello!
Are you really going to Spain?
Copy !req
190. - My car broke down. How 'bout a lift?
- So that's your technique.
Copy !req
191. - It's a long lift, but all right.
- Thanks. That's a lucky break for me.
Copy !req
192. Oh, that?
He's one of my father's secretaries.
Copy !req
193. He has all kinds of secretaries.
Some of them double as vice presidents.
Copy !req
194. That one's a masseur, and there's Rico.
Copy !req
195. He's in charge
of ladies' telephone numbers.
Copy !req
196. But that's something I'm not supposed
to know about, of course.
Copy !req
197. Well, that's a castle in Spain, for sure.
Thanks for the lift.
Copy !req
198. - You're spending the night here?
- I wanna try and talk the local hotel
into giving me a bed.
Copy !req
199. I'll show you where it is.
Copy !req
200. - It's either that or -
- Or what?
Copy !req
201. Or we develop a sick headache
or leaky carburetor or something like that...
Copy !req
202. and we'd be forced to spend the night
the other side of the border.
Copy !req
203. - Uh-oh. Here comes the ogre.
- Ogre?
Copy !req
204. - Ogre's my nickname for Pops.
- Oh, your father.
Copy !req
205. - Didn't you ever read any fairy tales?
- No, not many.
Copy !req
206. You know, "Fee, fie, fo, fum,
I smell the blood of an Englishman.
Copy !req
207. Be he alive or be he dead,
I'll grind his bones to make my bread."
Copy !req
208. And that's an ogre, huh?
Some kind of a bogeyman.
Copy !req
209. If you meet my father,
you'll see what I mean.
Copy !req
210. "If"? You mean, when I meet him.
Copy !req
211. - That's him up there, huh? That plane?
- Yes. He flew to Tangiers this morning.
Copy !req
212. Now he's joining me here
to get ready for our famous masked ball.
Copy !req
213. That's not till Sunday night. Good.
Copy !req
214. - What's good about it?
- Gives us almost a week.
Copy !req
215. - For what?
- Getting better acquainted.
Copy !req
216. - Don't tell me you're staying on.
- I'm going to your party.
Copy !req
217. - I don't believe it.
- Well, why not?
Copy !req
218. - You know all your guests personally?
- Of course not.
Copy !req
219. - Well, you know me.
- Do I?
Copy !req
220. Maybe not yet, honey, but you're going to.
Copy !req
221. - What's so comical?
- I like your being tough.
Copy !req
222. It's just too bad
you're such a cornball.
Copy !req
223. - I've been looking for you.
- So were Father's secretaries.
Copy !req
224. - The who?
- And please stop smoking.
Copy !req
225. - On account of all those charges in hoods?
- Shh!
Copy !req
226. I thought the masquerade
wasn't until Sunday.
Copy !req
227. - It's a religious procession.
- Ah.
Copy !req
228. - They're Penitentes.
- They're what?
Copy !req
229. - If you'll keep quiet, I'll explain it to you.
- Uh-huh.
Copy !req
230. Look. Some of them are barefoot.
Others have chains.
Copy !req
231. - I thought you were looking for me.
- I just spotted somebody down in the crowd
I ought to say hello to.
Copy !req
232. Oh. The girl in the sweater
who was waving to you?
Copy !req
233. Mily? As a matter of fact, I think she's down here
to get on that cruise your father's giving.
Copy !req
234. - She's more a friend of his.
- Well, she's his type.
Copy !req
235. Thanks for dragging yourself away
from your new girlfriend. I'd ask ‒
Copy !req
236. Why don't you go back to the hotel?
Copy !req
237. I'd ask what she's got for you that I haven't got,
except I happen to know the answer ‒
Copy !req
238. - a couple of hundred million dollars.
- Will you please be quiet?
Copy !req
239. - What gives with those crazy Klu Kluxers?
- They're Penitentes.
Copy !req
240. Yeah, I know. But what are they
dressed up like that for?
Copy !req
241. They're doing penance.
It means they're sorry for their sins.
Copy !req
242. They must be awful sorry.
Copy !req
243. Well? Did you talk to Arkadin yet?
Copy !req
244. What do you think I came to Spain for,
to see you?
Copy !req
245. Look, Mily,
I've been thinking this thing over.
Copy !req
246. I think maybe we ought to forget it.
Copy !req
247. - Guy!
- Coming!
Copy !req
248. Forget it? You're going after Arkadin's money in
your own way ‒ through his daughter ‒ aren't you?
Copy !req
249. Well, you'd better watch your step
or I might decide to start talking.
Copy !req
250. I mean it, Guy. And it won't be about Bracco
or anything mysterious like that.
Copy !req
251. It'll be all about you.
Copy !req
252. Are you, by any chance,
trying to threaten me?
Copy !req
253. I'm just telling you
to leave her alone.
Copy !req
254. - Hi, chum. What are you doing here?
- Just waiting.
Copy !req
255. Not right under the castle like this,
where we can be seen.
Copy !req
256. - That castle's kind of hard to get away from.
- I know. And the town's swarming with secretaries.
Copy !req
257. I'll phone you as soon
as I get away from the ogre.
Copy !req
258. Look, why don't you take me up there,
introduce me to him and be done with it?
Copy !req
259. Because we're having fun,
and I'd like it to last a few days, cornball!
Copy !req
260. - Look! You win!
- Hey!
Copy !req
261. - I knew it.
- What do I win?
Copy !req
262. A biscuit.
Copy !req
263. Come on.
Copy !req
264. - Hey! Hey, what's all the rush?
- There are a couple of secretaries back there.
Copy !req
265. - Checkin' up on you, huh?
- Yes.
Copy !req
266. - He treats you like he was a jealous husband.
- If Father had his way, I'd never get married.
Copy !req
267. - You don't have to worry about that, honey.
- Oh, what do you mean?
Copy !req
268. I'll make you a promise. As long as I live,
I'll never ask you to marry me.
Copy !req
269. Gee, thanks.
Copy !req
270. Hey!
Copy !req
271. - Uh, one moment, please, sir.
- Uh, beg your pardon?
Copy !req
272. Does the Count de Torregon know
that you're here with his invitation, sir?
Copy !req
273. - Well, uh ‒
- Don't be dreary, Rudi. Of course he does.
Copy !req
274. - Raina sent me to fetch you, old boy.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
275. No, this way. And put your mask on.
That's the form, you know.
Copy !req
276. - Anyway, where's the ogre?
- I beg your pardon?
Copy !req
277. - Our host. I would like to see him.
- Well, you can't mean that.
Copy !req
278. - Why not?
- I've been trying to keep him from seeing me.
Copy !req
279. - What do you mean?
- Ever since I was caught taking Raina out without
official permission, I've been persona non grata.
Copy !req
280. Oh. All right.
Copy !req
281. So it's a masquerade,
but it isn't Halloween, is it?
Copy !req
282. What with all
these crazy Frankensteins?
Copy !req
283. Now, look, old boy,
you don't understand.
Copy !req
284. All these people are supposed
to represent the paintings.
Copy !req
285. Now, some of us have come
as visions and monsters. Goya.
Copy !req
286. - Who?
- You know Goya.
Copy !req
287. Glad to meet ya.
Copy !req
288. - Now what?
- Just a whim of the ogre.
Copy !req
289. Tell me, do I have to fight
a duel with these two characters?
Copy !req
290. - No, drink the triple vodka, and you pass.
- Triple-strength vodka?
Copy !req
291. Sorry, sir.
There are no exceptions.
Copy !req
292. Father likes his guests to be ready
for a party before it starts.
Copy !req
293. Savage, of course, but then so is he.
Copy !req
294. Try and make
a good impression on him.
Copy !req
295. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
296. I see you were talking
with our hostess.
Copy !req
297. - Well, I ‒
- The young Miss Arkadin.
Copy !req
298. - Of course I know Raina, Mr. ‒
- We won't introduce ourselves. This is a masquerade.
Copy !req
299. - You've known her long?
- Raina? Oh, we've met a few times.
Copy !req
300. All sorts of people
are always trying to meet her.
Copy !req
301. In her position,
that's natural, of course.
Copy !req
302. Fortune hunters, adventurers.
You know the type.
Copy !req
303. - Oh, sure.
- I thought you would.
Copy !req
304. Come here.
I have to show you something.
Copy !req
305. You might be interested.
Copy !req
306. You know where we are, don't you?
Shut the door, please.
Copy !req
307. - This is her bedroom.
- Huh?
Copy !req
308. - Raina's bedroom. You understand?
- Ah, it's a very beautiful room. This whole place ‒
Copy !req
309. This is her bed.
Copy !req
310. Her pillow.
Copy !req
311. I left this here for her to study.
Copy !req
312. You can look at it,
if you want to.
Copy !req
313. "Confidential Report."
It has my name on it.
Copy !req
314. Oh?
Copy !req
315. Yeah.
Copy !req
316. Yeah, my name is Van Stratten,
Mr. Arkadin.
Copy !req
317. According to that dossier,
you were born George Streitheimer.
Copy !req
318. Streeter!
My father's name was Streeter.
Copy !req
319. Your father's identity does not
seem to have been established.
Copy !req
320. Go on. Read it.
Be sure to leave it for Raina...
Copy !req
321. after the party's over.
Copy !req
322. The party seems to be over
already, Mr. Arkadin.
Copy !req
323. - Who got this up for you?
- Private detectives.
Copy !req
324. It may seem a considerable investment
to make for a mere gigolo...
Copy !req
325. a petty adventurer.
Copy !req
326. You see, my daughter is very important to me.
There's nothing I would ‒
Copy !req
327. So I'm a petty adventurer, am I?
And what about you, Mr. Arkadin?
Copy !req
328. How do you think it would look
if someone got up a dossier on you?
Copy !req
329. What are you two doing
in my bedroom?
Copy !req
330. One moment, Raina. I want to be very sure I
understand what your friend here is talking about.
Copy !req
331. Yeah, it's quite true!
I ran cigarettes, even some gold once.
Copy !req
332. But what about you,
Mr. Almighty Gregory Arkadin?
Copy !req
333. How 'bout if somebody got up
a confidential report on the subject of you, huh?
Copy !req
334. All the dirt, I mean -
from Bracco on down.
Copy !req
335. - I'm ashamed of you.
- That's just about the idea.
Copy !req
336. I mean, Father, do you really think
this is the way to ‒
Copy !req
337. Guy! Come back.
Copy !req
338. No, not a speech.
Proposing a toast in Georgian style, Luigi.
Copy !req
339. - How did you recognize me?
- I know you.
Copy !req
340. Your glasses up, friends. In Georgian toasts,
a little story always comes first.
Copy !req
341. I had a dream.
Copy !req
342. I found myself in a graveyard...
Copy !req
343. where all the tombstones
were marked in a curious way ‒
Copy !req
344. 1822 - 1826...
Copy !req
345. 1930 - '34.
Copy !req
346. Always like that. Always a very short time
between birth and death.
Copy !req
347. In the graveyard
was a very old man.
Copy !req
348. I asked him how it was
that he had lived so long...
Copy !req
349. when everyone else in his village
had died so young.
Copy !req
350. But, no, he told me this -
"Not that we die early.
Copy !req
351. "It is just that here, on our tombstones,
we do not count the years of a man's life...
Copy !req
352. but rather the length of time
he's kept a friend."
Copy !req
353. Let's drink to friendship.
Copy !req
354. - What's wrong?
- I don't make a habit of striking women.
Copy !req
355. - Guy!
- Don't worry. You're safe.
Copy !req
356. I'm sick of jails,
and there's a law against murder.
Copy !req
357. - What did you say to Arkadin?
- I haven't seen him, not here in Spain.
Copy !req
358. - Did you tell him anything about me?
- No. Why should I?
Copy !req
359. He's got private detectives on me.
You put him on me, didn't you?
Copy !req
360. No, Guy.
I swear I had nothing to do with it.
Copy !req
361. Both of you wanted to break things up between
Raina and me. Well, now you've succeeded.
Copy !req
362. - Where are you going?
- Just leaving, that's all.
Copy !req
363. - Am I going with you?
- I want to get as far away from here as possible.
Copy !req
364. Guy, I never once talked
to Arkadin about you.
Copy !req
365. Oh, and another thing ‒
I've remembered that name.
Copy !req
366. You mean that other name?
That woman's name that Bracco told you about?
Copy !req
367. - Am I going with you?
- Now, don't get smart.
Copy !req
368. All right, all right.
It was ‒ It was Sophie.
Copy !req
369. Sophie? Sophie what?
Copy !req
370. Well, that's just it. I can't remember.
It was ‒ It was something Russian.
Copy !req
371. Hello?
Copy !req
372. Oh, I beg your pardon.
Copy !req
373. I was told I would find, uh, Mr. Van Stratten
there. Will you put him on, please?
Copy !req
374. - It's that secretary.
- Secretary?
Copy !req
375. Mr. Arkadin's.
Copy !req
376. - Mr. Van Stratten?
- Speaking.
Copy !req
377. Mr. Arkadin is calling you.
I'll put you through.
Copy !req
378. Mr. Van Stratten,
I'm prepared to talk business with you.
Copy !req
379. I said I'm prepared to talk business with you.
My car is downstairs.
Copy !req
380. I'm waiting.
Copy !req
381. - Mr. Arkadin is waiting for you.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
382. And now I'm going to tell you
about a scorpion.
Copy !req
383. This scorpion
wanted to cross a river...
Copy !req
384. so he asked the frog to carry him.
Copy !req
385. "No," said the frog.
"No, thank you.
Copy !req
386. "If I let you on my back,
you may sting me...
Copy !req
387. and the sting of a scorpion is death."
Copy !req
388. "Now, where," asked the scorpion, "is the logic
of that?" for scorpions always try to be logical.
Copy !req
389. "If I sting you, you will die, and I will drown."
Copy !req
390. So the frog was convinced
and allowed the scorpion on his back.
Copy !req
391. But just in the middle of the river,
he felt a terrible pain...
Copy !req
392. and realized that, after all,
the scorpion had stung him.
Copy !req
393. "Logic," cried the dying frog as he started under,
bearing the scorpion down with him.
Copy !req
394. "There is no logic in this."
Copy !req
395. "I know," said the scorpion,
"but I can't help it.
Copy !req
396. It's my character."
Copy !req
397. Let's drink to character.
Copy !req
398. Excuse me, sir, but Mr. Arkadin would like you
to wait for him on the terrace.
Copy !req
399. This way, please.
Copy !req
400. I thought you called me back here
because you wanted to talk business.
Copy !req
401. Your business, Van Stratten.
Copy !req
402. You told me you knew so much about me
you could fill out a dossier on me.
Copy !req
403. - You know how it is. A fellow gets around, he -
- Where?
Copy !req
404. - Where did you get, Van Stratten?
- Naples. I'm not the only one
who knows about Bracco.
Copy !req
405. He's dead, but he told us something about you -
something you'd like kept quiet.
Copy !req
406. - He was knifed.
- Knifed? Knifed by you?
Copy !req
407. - Do I look like a killer?
- No, you're simply a fool.
Copy !req
408. I will not ask you your price
because you have nothing to sell.
Copy !req
409. But, still, I'll make you an offer.
Copy !req
410. I am going to give you something to sell,
and then I will pay you for it.
Copy !req
411. Come on.
Copy !req
412. You have tried to threaten me
with a secret which does not exist.
Copy !req
413. Now I'll make you a present
of a real one ‒
Copy !req
414. the great secret of my life.
Copy !req
415. Come in.
Copy !req
416. My secretaries work here.
We can be private.
Copy !req
417. Now, tell me ‒
Copy !req
418. if I really had something to hide...
Copy !req
419. what do you think it would be?
Copy !req
420. - Well, uh ‒
- Take a guess.
Copy !req
421. Well, there is something.
Copy !req
422. - There has to be.
- Why?
Copy !req
423. Well, if there isn't ‒
Copy !req
424. How come you never let yourself
be photographed, for instance?
Copy !req
425. Oh, I've been photographed,
but usually I break the photograph.
Copy !req
426. Also head of the photographer.
Copy !req
427. I'm a strong man, Van Stratten.
Copy !req
428. - How old do you think I am?
- How would I know?
Copy !req
429. I don't know either.
Copy !req
430. See? That's my secret.
I don't know.
Copy !req
431. - You think I'm crazy?
- No.
Copy !req
432. I don't think you asked me back here
to try to help you guess your age either.
Copy !req
433. You've heard of
a thing in the army called...
Copy !req
434. "intelligence check"?
Copy !req
435. It's some kind of an investigation,
isn't it?
Copy !req
436. I'm interested in some proposed air bases
your army's building in Portugal.
Copy !req
437. And you want the contract.
I get it.
Copy !req
438. You're afraid one of those investigation deals
could wreck it for you.
Copy !req
439. And you wanna hire me
to help you cover up a few little items.
Copy !req
440. You are informing me
or asking me, Mr. Van Stratten?
Copy !req
441. Mr. Arkadin, I'm just guessing.
Copy !req
442. But now I'll ask you something ‒
What makes you think you can trust me?
Copy !req
443. I think you will do what I tell you.
Copy !req
444. You're a fool, but not a silly fool...
Copy !req
445. and I'm not ungenerous.
Copy !req
446. "Not ungenerous"?
Copy !req
447. - That means -
- $10,000.
Copy !req
448. Tax-free, of course.
You can have it in gold in Liechtenstein.
Copy !req
449. - Make it 20,000.
- You're a poor businessman, Van Stratten.
Copy !req
450. You're bargaining
before you know what's for sale.
Copy !req
451. What I don't know I can find out.
Make it 15 ‒
Copy !req
452. I am hiring your specialized knowledge,
your ability to move about in the underworld.
Copy !req
453. - The underworld?
- I want you to make an investigation
and prepare me a report.
Copy !req
454. Report? A report on what?
Copy !req
455. Gregory Arkadin.
Copy !req
456. All about Gregory Arkadin.
Copy !req
457. I'm serious.
Copy !req
458. It's me I want you to investigate.
Copy !req
459. What is it you're so afraid
they're going to find out?
Copy !req
460. Van Stratten...
Copy !req
461. on my mother's grave,
I swear to you... I wish I knew.
Copy !req
462. And you figure
that if I can't smoke it out...
Copy !req
463. the army boys
won't be able to either, huh?
Copy !req
464. I'm going to tell you a story,
a poetic little story.
Copy !req
465. It's winter of '27.
Copy !req
466. One night, one snowy night...
Copy !req
467. I found myself, a young man, in Zurich.
Copy !req
468. I had nothing, nothing ‒
Copy !req
469. only the one suit I was wearing...
Copy !req
470. and the wallet in which
there were 200,000 Swiss francs.
Copy !req
471. With that money,
my fortune was built.
Copy !req
472. - You see, I promised you this was poetic.
- Well?
Copy !req
473. - Well what?
- Who was she?
Copy !req
474. "She"? "Who was she?"
isn't the question at all.
Copy !req
475. The question is, "Who was I?"
Copy !req
476. Okay, Mr. Arkadin. I'll buy it.
Who were you?
Copy !req
477. That's just it.
What happened before the winter of '27?
Copy !req
478. Where did I come from in my one suit?
Copy !req
479. That is my real secret...
Copy !req
480. and you are the first man
I ever told it to.
Copy !req
481. I do not know who I am.
Copy !req
482. Amnesia.
Yeah, but if it's as bad as you claim ‒
Copy !req
483. - What do you mean, as I claim?
- Well, look.
Copy !req
484. You don't have any memory of
what happened to you before '27, right?
Copy !req
485. So what makes you so sure
your name is Arkadin?
Copy !req
486. Well, maybe it's Arkadeen
or Arkadene or Arkapapalous.
Copy !req
487. - Or Smith even.
- Don't be a fool. I know my own name.
Copy !req
488. - Who says so?
- I say so.
Copy !req
489. Oh, who are you?
You just told me you don't know.
Copy !req
490. - I'm paying you to find out.
- So why does Ark - Arkadin stick in your mind?
Copy !req
491. Maybe ‒ Maybe it's the name
of a cough medicine.
Copy !req
492. Maybe it's somebody you knocked off
for the 200,000 Swiss francs.
Copy !req
493. - You think that's how I got the money?
- Maybe you stole it. How do we know?
Copy !req
494. Is Guy in there?
Copy !req
495. Mr. Van Stratten is gone.
Copy !req
496. He has left the country, Raina.
Copy !req
497. If you've paid him off,
I'll never forgive you, Father. Never.
Copy !req
498. You know, at first
I thought it was something else.
Copy !req
499. I rather thought
you were blackmailing me.
Copy !req
500. - Here's to character.
- Okay, only I need dough for expenses.
Copy !req
501. My travels took me from Helsinki to Tunis...
Copy !req
502. Brussels, Amsterdam,
Geneva, Zurich...
Copy !req
503. Trieste, Marseille, Copenhagen.
Copy !req
504. I talked to every crook
who'd been around in 1927...
Copy !req
505. and a whole lot
of other characters too.
Copy !req
506. I claimed I was a newspaperman.
Copy !req
507. And that got me, at last,
to Sir Joseph...
Copy !req
508. a retired intelligence chief
who gave me my first lead.
Copy !req
509. Sir Joseph is not well enough
to give interviews...
Copy !req
510. but out of respect
for Time magazine ‒
Copy !req
511. That is your magazine, isn't it?
Copy !req
512. Sir Joseph has consented
to make the following statement...
Copy !req
513. with the understanding
that it is not to be quoted.
Copy !req
514. "Gregory Arkadin is one of the shrewdest
of all adventurers in high finance...
Copy !req
515. "and certainly the most unscrupulous.
Copy !req
516. "During the last war, I had occasion
to make inquiries into his past.
Copy !req
517. "In another epoch, such a man might have
sacked Rome or been hanged as a pirate.
Copy !req
518. "Today we must accept him
for what he is ‒
Copy !req
519. "a phenomenon of an age
of dissolution and crisis.
Copy !req
520. "As to his former activities,
they took place in Warsaw, Poland.
Copy !req
521. "Perhaps flea professor Radzinski,
now in Copenhagen...
Copy !req
522. could tell you a little more about that,
if he'll talk."
Copy !req
523. Why come to me?
Copy !req
524. I am a legitimate entertainer now.
Copy !req
525. Please, watch your smoking.
I am only interested in my fleas.
Copy !req
526. - That's all?
- Now we are rehearsing.
Copy !req
527. Besides, I have to get ready
for a show in a few minutes...
Copy !req
528. so I cannot give you much time.
Copy !req
529. Oh, please, please, please.
The fleas don't like it.
Copy !req
530. - Will you at least try guessing?
- Have you ever seen a football game?
Copy !req
531. Allez-oops. Ah!
Copy !req
532. Between allez-oops. Allez-oops.
Copy !req
533. Ah. Educated fleas.
Copy !req
534. Now here's the kickoff.
Allez-oops. Ah!
Copy !req
535. Now, allez ‒ allez‒
Copy !req
536. Allez-oops. Ah.
Copy !req
537. Allez-oops. Ah.
Copy !req
538. Now here is August.
He's the goalkeeper.
Copy !req
539. Pick it up, August. Put it in
the right position, August.
Copy !req
540. That's right. Allez ‒
Copy !req
541. Allez, August. Allez.
Copy !req
542. Allez, August. Poop.
Copy !req
543. Why would a man
want to escape from Poland?
Copy !req
544. In the past few years,
my country has offered its people...
Copy !req
545. a wide variety of incentives
for moving elsewhere.
Copy !req
546. Now, wait a minute, Professor. In your day,
you were one of the best con men in Europe.
Copy !req
547. Please, not so loud.
Copy !req
548. I don't see any reason why I should lower my voice,
if you're not gonna offer me ‒
Copy !req
549. uh, cooperation.
Copy !req
550. Feeding time.
Copy !req
551. Come on, Professor. Think back.
Copy !req
552. A police case in Warsaw
involving a woman called Sophie.
Copy !req
553. Couldn't you find another Pole?
Copy !req
554. - There's Tadeus, that contraband fellow.
- Yeah, yeah. In Tangiers.
Copy !req
555. - Why not try him?
- Nah, he's too young.
Copy !req
556. There's nothing a type like that
doesn't know about crooks.
Copy !req
557. Crooks ‒ He has them jumping around
for him like my fleas...
Copy !req
558. only the fleas are smarter.
Copy !req
559. I got a friend that's due in Tangiers this week.
She'll see Tadeus.
Copy !req
560. Oh, come on, Professor.
What about Sophie?
Copy !req
561. Sophie? No.
Copy !req
562. A type like that, if she's alive,
she's legitimate by now.
Copy !req
563. - What makes you think she'd go straight?
- Simple. She was intelligent.
Copy !req
564. Did you ever stop to think why cops
are always famous for being dumb?
Copy !req
565. Simple.
Copy !req
566. Because they don't have to be
anything else.
Copy !req
567. Crooks aren't the worst people.
They're just the stupidest.
Copy !req
568. The fleas of the world.
Copy !req
569. And murder?
Copy !req
570. My friend, after 20,000 years,
murder is still a business...
Copy !req
571. that's mainly in the hands
of the amateurs.
Copy !req
572. Mily, on the cruise with Arkadin...
Copy !req
573. stopped off in Tangiers
to see Tadeus.
Copy !req
574. Tadeus!
Copy !req
575. I'm a friend of Guy's.
Copy !req
576. We used to see you
every time we came to Tangiers.
Copy !req
577. You must remember me.
Copy !req
578. I never remember pretty women.
It's too expensive.
Copy !req
579. - But my Japanese cameras?
- There I can't help you. Van Stratten?
Copy !req
580. - Has he got a new boat?
- This is not about business, Mr. Tadeus.
Copy !req
581. - We just want you to do us a favor.
- I never do favors.
Copy !req
582. We only want a little information
about Poland.
Copy !req
583. I never give in ‒ Poland.
Copy !req
584. This won't cost you anything.
Copy !req
585. - Do you know of a fence in Amsterdam -
- Fence.
Copy !req
586. called Burgomil Trebitsch?
Copy !req
587. Trebitsch?
Copy !req
588. We're not going to Amsterdam.
Copy !req
589. You and Van Stratten?
Copy !req
590. No, I'm not with him anymore.
Copy !req
591. - I'm on a sort of a cruise.
- Enjoy yourself.
Copy !req
592. "Trebitsch."
I'll remember the name.
Copy !req
593. - Thanks, Tadeus.
- Thanks for nothing.
Copy !req
594. Ah. Here.
Copy !req
595. Ah. Ah.
Here we have a telescope.
Copy !req
596. Uh, 110 guilder, my dear.
Copy !req
597. But you can always fix it
with a weenie bit of tape.
Copy !req
598. Why not try to stick to the subject?
Copy !req
599. You were gonna tell me
about a woman called Sophie. Remember?
Copy !req
600. Mmm, Sophie Radzweickz. Hmm.
Copy !req
601. She was quite a girl.
Copy !req
602. Uh, not that I remember her personally,
only by reputation.
Copy !req
603. And with the telescope
comes a leather case.
Copy !req
604. What happened to her?
Where is she?
Copy !req
605. Ah. Where is anybody?
Copy !req
606. Do you know if she's still alive?
Copy !req
607. Well, if you don't want the case,
I can sell you the telescope without it.
Copy !req
608. But then, of course, the price...
Copy !req
609. would be a weenie bit steeper.
Copy !req
610. - You haven't answered my question.
- You haven't bought my telescope.
Copy !req
611. But I will. I will, Mr. Trebitsch.
I'm gonna buy it.
Copy !req
612. Now, what were you going to tell me?
Copy !req
613. Those girls!
Copy !req
614. - Those girls were the ruin of Sophie.
- Girls?
Copy !req
615. Ah, Hildegarde.
Copy !req
616. What girls, Mr. Trebitsch?
Copy !req
617. Imagine, my dear -
They were hired by the police...
Copy !req
618. to pose as members
of Sophie's dancing academy.
Copy !req
619. - What dancing academy?
- Well, perhaps you'd be interested
in a lovely aquarium for your tropical fish?
Copy !req
620. No, thanks.
I already got a telescope.
Copy !req
621. You haven't paid for it, have you?
Copy !req
622. Still, we can always discuss price,
can't we, my dear?
Copy !req
623. Now, look,
about this dancing academy ‒
Copy !req
624. I'm buying information.
"Buying" means that I'm prepared to pay.
Copy !req
625. I make it a principle
never, never to give information...
Copy !req
626. even about people who are dead.
Copy !req
627. I mustn't get a reputation for being indiscreet,
now, must I? Especially in my profession.
Copy !req
628. No, what you are buying is a telescope.
Copy !req
629. Oh, fine. Looks as if I'm also
buying an aquarium.
Copy !req
630. But if Sophie's dead,
I can't see what difference it could ‒
Copy !req
631. - Dead? Who said she's dead?
- Well, nobody says she's alive.
Copy !req
632. I seem to remember she got away from
the police when they broke up the gang.
Copy !req
633. The gang? Well, come on, Mr. Trebitsch.
What did the gang do?
Copy !req
634. White slavery?
Copy !req
635. Warsaw was the center of that, my dear,
before the last war.
Copy !req
636. Oh, my poor baby,
you don't know a thing.
Copy !req
637. Why, half the flesh that was run into South America
from Central and Eastern Europe...
Copy !req
638. came right through Warsaw.
Copy !req
639. - Wait. I've got something for you.
- No, I don't want to buy anything else!
Copy !req
640. - You will buy this one. It's an idea.
- Well?
Copy !req
641. - Those young girls -
- What girls?
Copy !req
642. The girls I spoke of
that acted as special police agents.
Copy !req
643. Well, it just happened, my dear,
that one of them turned up here during the war.
Copy !req
644. - During the occupation.
- What's her name?
Copy !req
645. Oh, come on, Mr. Trebitsch.
I'm paying you for this.
Copy !req
646. She was quite a heroine
of the resistance movement...
Copy !req
647. connected, one imagines,
with the ‒ British.
Copy !req
648. Once spent the night here
in my little shop in '42.
Copy !req
649. We ‒ Ah, we got to talking
about Warsaw.
Copy !req
650. You know what we Poles are. Well,
the baroness could tell you all about Sophie.
Copy !req
651. Well, fine, Mr. Trebitsch.
Where is this baroness?
Copy !req
652. - The Baroness Nagel.
- Okay, but where does she live?
Copy !req
653. And here is the telescope.
Copy !req
654. - You see, I believe in giving value.
- Value? This thing doesn't even have a lens.
Copy !req
655. Well, what can you expect
for 200 guilder?
Copy !req
656. Two ‒ Two hundred?
Copy !req
657. Well, you can always find a lens.
Ah! Gustie!
Copy !req
658. Danny! Mittagessen.
Copy !req
659. Ah, if you can pay me in dollars,
I can offer you a very good rate.
Copy !req
660. - Oh, guilder.
- What ‒
Copy !req
661. Of course, there will be
the usual charge for breakages.
Copy !req
662. - Breakages?
- Oh, my beaded curtain I can perhaps re-string.
Copy !req
663. And I may be able to mend up
my alligator, but...
Copy !req
664. you've absolutely ruined
the pretty aquarium, my dear.
Copy !req
665. Well, you remember the name -
Nagel, huh?
Copy !req
666. N-A-G-E-L. Nagel.
Copy !req
667. Nagel. Is that all I'm getting?
Copy !req
668. The Baroness Nagel, hmm?
Copy !req
669. - B-A-R ‒
- I can spell "baroness"!
Copy !req
670. Now, you just tell me
where I can find her.
Copy !req
671. My dear, I swear to you
on my heart...
Copy !req
672. I haven't the remotest idea
where the baroness is...
Copy !req
673. or what happened to her.
Copy !req
674. I'd lost touch with Mily after Tangiers.
Copy !req
675. She was going on with Arkadin on his yacht
with a few other good-looking dames.
Copy !req
676. Maybe Mily was becoming independent
and going after his money in her own way.
Copy !req
677. - What are you doing in my cabin?
- Would you prefer to come to mine?
Copy !req
678. Don't be funny.
Copy !req
679. You said you wanted to be alone with me.
Has that slipped your mind?
Copy !req
680. Oh, yes. The message.
Copy !req
681. You better have
a little more champagne.
Copy !req
682. It's not me that wants to talk to you.
It's a friend of mine.
Copy !req
683. - Guy Van Stratten.
- You know everything, don't you?
Copy !req
684. - Only what I need to know -
- Bracco, for instance?
Copy !req
685. - for my business.
- Oh, sure. Guy told me.
Copy !req
686. Money changing, munitions.
Copy !req
687. Some of the guns you sent
to the Reds in China didn't even shoot.
Copy !req
688. Is Van Stratten a communist?
Copy !req
689. - Are you kidding?
- Then what's he complaining about?
Copy !req
690. Nobody's complaining.
Copy !req
691. He's just doing
that crazy job you gave him.
Copy !req
692. Hey, you didn't answer
my question about Bracco.
Copy !req
693. Bracco. Van Stratten mentioned that name.
When did you talk to him last?
Copy !req
694. Bracco was killed and murdered
on the dock in Naples, Italy.
Copy !req
695. No, I mean, when did you talk
to Van Stratten?
Copy !req
696. Seems you were pretty chummy
with some Nazi collaborators in Vichy.
Copy !req
697. Have some champagne.
Copy !req
698. They trusted you with all their money,
those Nazis...
Copy !req
699. to invest in South America
for after the war.
Copy !req
700. - They didn't even ask for a receipt.
- I've heard that story before.
Copy !req
701. Now their families can't even prove
the money's theirs.
Copy !req
702. And then there's Mussolini.
Copy !req
703. All those roads you built for the fascists
in Ethiopia.
Copy !req
704. Bad water, not enough food.
Copy !req
705. Guy says more than a hundred
of the men died.
Copy !req
706. You know, you're kind of cute
in a weird sort of a way.
Copy !req
707. After a person gets over
being scared of you.
Copy !req
708. - Why'd you grow that awful beard?
- To scare people with.
Copy !req
709. When'd you grow it ‒ 1927?
Copy !req
710. You know something about that year?
Van Stratten's discovered something?
Copy !req
711. We know where you came from.
Copy !req
712. - That's more than I do.
- Warsaw.
Copy !req
713. Huh? What's that?
Copy !req
714. Warsaw is a city in Poland.
Copy !req
715. Shut up.
Copy !req
716. I was aware of that.
Copy !req
717. You see, Guy went to see
your tailor in Zurich.
Copy !req
718. My what?
Copy !req
719. The tailor who made your first
suit of clothes when you came there.
Copy !req
720. - He's dead.
- You probably never even noticed the cutter.
Copy !req
721. But he remembers you and the label
in the coat you were wearing...
Copy !req
722. when you first came in the shop.
Copy !req
723. - Label?
- The tailor's label.
Copy !req
724. Your suit was made in Warsaw.
So that's where you came from.
Copy !req
725. Guy couldn't get into Poland now.
He'd never get a visa.
Copy !req
726. Awful lot of Poles left home
these last few years.
Copy !req
727. Refugees. They went everywhere -
all over the place.
Copy !req
728. That ‒ That's what Guy's gonna do:
look up an awful lot of Poles.
Copy !req
729. - But where?
- Just wherever you say, Mr. Arkadin.
Copy !req
730. Everywhere. All over the place.
Copy !req
731. Baroness von Nagel.
Copy !req
732. Nagel? The Baroness Nagel?
Oh, she wouldn't have gone back to Poland.
Copy !req
733. Not the way things are now.
Try London.
Copy !req
734. Nagel? Yes. She was decorated by our
people and the French. Wonderful girl.
Copy !req
735. Nagel? I think she's working in Paris.
Copy !req
736. She's at one of the big dress houses.
Dior, I think. She's a vendeuse.
Copy !req
737. - A what?
- A saleswoman.
Copy !req
738. Good. I got something I want to buy.
Copy !req
739. Well, she lives here.
Of course. I remember you.
Copy !req
740. You are the gentleman
who was here the other day.
Copy !req
741. Well, I'm sorry, monsieur, but the baroness
won't be in till late tonight.
Copy !req
742. She has a dinner appointment.
Oh, thank you, monsieur.
Copy !req
743. I think it might be with the gentleman
who brought her the beautiful flowers...
Copy !req
744. just the day after you were here.
Copy !req
745. He was a big, tall man.
Copy !req
746. With a beard.
Yes. With a beard.
Copy !req
747. Sommelier.
Copy !req
748. - Criminal underworld in Warszawa?
- Mmm.
Copy !req
749. It's true that for a year or so...
Copy !req
750. I did see a little something
of that sort of thing.
Copy !req
751. It wasn't as amusing
as you might think.
Copy !req
752. - Criminals aren't ever very amusing.
- It's because they're failures.
Copy !req
753. Those who make real money
aren't counted as criminals.
Copy !req
754. - This is a class distinction, not an ethical problem.
- Here's to crime.
Copy !req
755. - I suppose you want me to tell you about Sophie.
- Sophie?
Copy !req
756. She was, in those years,
the most important criminal in Poland.
Copy !req
757. However, we did manage
to put her out of business.
Copy !req
758. - "We"?
- There were several of us.
Copy !req
759. Young girls.
Copy !req
760. And I won't pretend to you that we were not
rather thrilled at being part of the secret police.
Copy !req
761. Also, in my case,
our family needed the money badly.
Copy !req
762. We were sort of wooden ducks.
Copy !req
763. - How you call it? A decoy?
- You mean you were used to collect evidence.
Copy !req
764. Ah, it was a rather nasty business really.
Copy !req
765. The gang masqueraded
as a dancing school...
Copy !req
766. where the young ladies went
to learn the tango.
Copy !req
767. The victims, of course,
ended up in South America.
Copy !req
768. I was glad actually
to be useful in breaking it up.
Copy !req
769. The leader got away.
Copy !req
770. Oh, Sophie's been living abroad
ever since, in great style.
Copy !req
771. - Sophie. What was her last name again?
- She married years ago.
Copy !req
772. - Well, what's her married name?
- You are inquisitive.
Copy !req
773. Before telling you that, I ought to ask
my employers for permission.
Copy !req
774. Your employers, Baroness?
You're a vendeuse working for a dress shop.
Copy !req
775. That means you sold a dress
to her, right?
Copy !req
776. - She's a good customer.
- She's been in your shop more than once?
Copy !req
777. - Every year, when she comes to Paris.
- Comes from where?
Copy !req
778. That is something one mustn't tell,
I should think.
Copy !req
779. I thought they were very strict about people
with criminal records in Argentina.
Copy !req
780. - Not Argentina. No.
- Oh?
Copy !req
781. And not Chile either. No.
Copy !req
782. Don't imagine you can trap me so easily.
Copy !req
783. I'll bet you a couple of
hundred dollars...
Copy !req
784. I can trap you, Baroness.
Copy !req
785. Let's make it 500.
Copy !req
786. It's more sporting.
Copy !req
787. Three hundred.
That's sporting enough.
Copy !req
788. Here. Write Sophie's married name
and address...
Copy !req
789. and then we'll compare notes.
Copy !req
790. Aha. First we'll have
some more gypsy music.
Copy !req
791. And you'll buy me another bottle
of champagne.
Copy !req
792. Then afterwards -just for the fun of it -
you'll show me your money.
Copy !req
793. As you wish.
Copy !req
794. No, no. I really can't.
Copy !req
795. I hate people who sell information.
Copy !req
796. There was somebody else only last week
who wanted to know the same thing.
Copy !req
797. - What?
- Ah. About Sophie.
Copy !req
798. Ah, digging into the past.
It's really too disgusting.
Copy !req
799. Here. Take it as a gift.
After all, what's that woman to me?
Copy !req
800. You can't object if I settle our wager.
Copy !req
801. There. You see what I've written?
Copy !req
802. I didn't come within a mile of it.
Copy !req
803. It was Van Stratten
who approached you.
Copy !req
804. Yes.
Copy !req
805. - I'm a fool.
- Why?
Copy !req
806. Baroness, a fool is a man
who pays twice for the same thing.
Copy !req
807. Arkadin and the baroness.
Copy !req
808. Why was Arkadin cutting in
on the very job he'd given me?
Copy !req
809. I hoped the baroness hadn't told him
where to find Sophie.
Copy !req
810. I had to get to Mexico before him...
Copy !req
811. because now it was a race for Raina.
Copy !req
812. I was hoping for a message from Mily too.
Copy !req
813. I hadn't heard from her
for quite a while.
Copy !req
814. No, sir. There's no message.
But there is someone to see you.
Copy !req
815. Going to ask me up for a drink?
Copy !req
816. Come on.
Guess we have time for one.
Copy !req
817. Oh, yes. And there's somebody else
waiting for you.
Copy !req
818. You've been avoiding me. Why?
Copy !req
819. I hope it isn't because of my father.
Copy !req
820. No. I've been away.
Belgrade, Zurich.
Copy !req
821. Why all this jumping around?
Copy !req
822. - Job.
- For my father?
Copy !req
823. Funny. I thought I caught a glimpse
of him here in your hotel.
Copy !req
824. - But that doesn't make sense, does it?
- You don't trust me, do you?
Copy !req
825. That's really why
I haven't wanted to see you.
Copy !req
826. You mean you need to be trusted?
Copy !req
827. Funny. So does Father.
Copy !req
828. Why funny?
Copy !req
829. Simply because nobody in their right mind
could trust either one of you.
Copy !req
830. Raina! What are you doing
in this man's room?
Copy !req
831. That's my question, isn't it, Father?
Copy !req
832. Yes. And I think I'd better ask it too.
What are you doing here?
Copy !req
833. You can't have known I was coming.
I didn't know it myself.
Copy !req
834. - I have business with Van Stratten.
- Business? And you gave me your word.
Copy !req
835. His word. He gave me his word
he wouldn't see you again.
Copy !req
836. Oh, really? And he swore to me
he wouldn't take money from you.
Copy !req
837. - How cheap did you come?
- Well, Van Stratten ‒
Copy !req
838. No. I'm asking the questions now.
Copy !req
839. 15,000 bucks.
Well, you wanted the truth, didn't you?
Copy !req
840. You can save us that old-fashioned melodrama
about your innocent daughter...
Copy !req
841. all alone with a wicked bachelor
in his hotel room.
Copy !req
842. - Only came back to get my bags.
Then I'm on my way out of the country.
- $15,000.
Copy !req
843. - There's a price tag on every man.
- Yeah? What's yours, Mr. Arkadin?
Copy !req
844. 200,000 Swiss francs? You know that was
the basis of the great Arkadin fortune?
Copy !req
845. Well, maybe $15,000
will be the basis of mine.
Copy !req
846. - You imagine I'm going to give you that now?
- A man needs money to make money, Mr. Arkadin.
Copy !req
847. I wouldn't dream of asking your daughter
to marry me as long as I'm broke.
Copy !req
848. - Marry you?
- That dough he started with figures to be
earned in some dirty way too.
Copy !req
849. I'm gonna find out how.
And when I do, who knows?
Copy !req
850. - Maybe I'll wind up an Arkadin myself someday.
- You hear?
Copy !req
851. - That's the sort of man you think
you're in love with ‒ a blackmailer.
- Why can't I be in love with him?
Copy !req
852. I was hired by your father to do a little
checkin' up for him. Investigations, like.
Copy !req
853. - Well, it was his idea. Not mine.
- That doesn't sound much like blackmail to me.
Copy !req
854. - But you aren't in love with him.
- But it seems that you, Father,
made him promise to stay away from me.
Copy !req
855. I never promised to do that! Now I'm gonna
see you whenever I can ‒ job or no job!
Copy !req
856. - But you're going away again.
- Just a short trip. If I'm lucky, it may be the last.
Copy !req
857. You're going to Spain, aren't you?
I'll see you there on my way back from Mexico.
Copy !req
858. I wish you would stop having me
followed and spied on every minute, Father.
Copy !req
859. Frankly, I'm fed up with living the life
of an expensive gypsy.
Copy !req
860. Raina, there is no need to discuss this
with Van Stratten.
Copy !req
861. You know, your life can be whatever you want.
We only came to Paris because ‒
Copy !req
862. Because I said I wanted to.
And that was because I hoped to see Guy.
Copy !req
863. You see, Mr. Arkadin?
Copy !req
864. I'm afraid things are getting
just a little bit out of your control.
Copy !req
865. The baroness had given me
the name of Sophie's husband, Oskar, a drug addict.
Copy !req
866. He was my next source of information.
Copy !req
867. You hired me to play my music
for a pleasure cruise.
Copy !req
868. Pleasure.
Copy !req
869. I don't know for how long
we've been out on this boat.
Copy !req
870. - For how many days I've been without my -
- Without your heroin?
Ain't that the stuff you use?
Copy !req
871. - You didn't throw it away?
- You'll get your junk when you start to talk.
Copy !req
872. - I won't talk. I won't tell you a thing.
- We gotta go through this just once again.
Copy !req
873. - You were married to Sophie.
- I still am.
Copy !req
874. - Well, she's got a new husband.
- Some big shot here in Mexico.
Copy !req
875. Hey. You mean she was never divorced.
Is that it?
Copy !req
876. - So it's bigamy. Is it bigamy?
- I won't talk!
Copy !req
877. Okay. Okay, buster.
We'll just keep you here till you do.
Copy !req
878. What is it you want me to tell you?
Copy !req
879. I want you to tell me about Sophie's gang.
All about it. Everything that happened.
Copy !req
880. You could kill me first.
Copy !req
881. I may have to.
Copy !req
882. Well, I didn't have to kill him.
Copy !req
883. Finally Oskar spilled everything.
Copy !req
884. He told me that
he was Sophie's real husband...
Copy !req
885. and that her marriage to a retired
Mexican general wasn't legal.
Copy !req
886. He told me all about her...
Copy !req
887. and her connection with Arkadin.
Copy !req
888. Your passport, please.
Copy !req
889. These will be returned at the airport.
Copy !req
890. Tossing me out of the country?
You better give me a chance to pack.
Copy !req
891. - There is someone in Mexico City
who'd like to see you.
- Who's that?
Copy !req
892. La Señora Jesús Martínez,
the wife of General Martínez.
Copy !req
893. - Sophie?
- You know the lady?
Copy !req
894. - Well, I don't exactly know her.
- Never mind, señor. You will soon.
Copy !req
895. Sit down, mister.
We're putting you on the plane in an hour.
Copy !req
896. But I'd like to hear first
what you've got to say for yourself.
Copy !req
897. Sorry, but I really don't have much of
anything to say for myself, Madame Radzweickz.
Copy !req
898. Señora Jesús Martínez.
Copy !req
899. This here is my husband. I guess Oskar told you
that the general, my husband, isn't ‒
Copy !req
900. - Yeah, but don't think I'm trying to embarrass you.
- You don't do anything to me, Mr. Smarty.
Copy !req
901. I'll let you in on a secret.
It's Oskar I was never married to.
Copy !req
902. He's old now,
and he's ‒ he's talked himself into it.
Copy !req
903. A man's got to keep a little pride...
Copy !req
904. and he doesn't earn much playing
the concertina, poor little fellow, so...
Copy !req
905. I allow him to blackmail me.
Copy !req
906. Not much. Just enough to keep up
his self-respect.
Copy !req
907. - And you.
- I'm the one that's got questions to ask.
Copy !req
908. You're the one that's getting tossed
out of the country, Mr. Smarty.
Copy !req
909. People torturing other people.
That I don't go for.
Copy !req
910. - Poor little Oskar. Why do you have to pick on him?
- I wish you'd try to understand.
Copy !req
911. - I'm involved in a serious investigation.
- Investigation!
Copy !req
912. Why not leave in peace the people that's minding
their own business and not hurting other people?
Copy !req
913. We are married.
I got a legitimate business.
Copy !req
914. There is nothing against me that is not
all done and over with a long time ago.
Copy !req
915. So, what are you after?
Copy !req
916. I just want to check a few names with you.
That's all. Men who worked for you back in Warsaw.
Copy !req
917. You got all that from Oskar.
Copy !req
918. Yeah. Athabadze.
Copy !req
919. Jakob Zouk and the fella with a peg leg.
Copy !req
920. I saw that one fished out
of the harbor at Naples.
Copy !req
921. Is this true?
Copy !req
922. Seems he'd come on a freighter
from the Balkans. He jumped ship.
Copy !req
923. For some reason
he knifed a guy called Bracco...
Copy !req
924. then tried to shoot it out
with the cops.
Copy !req
925. - If he knifed this, uh -
- Bracco.
Copy !req
926. why did he then use a gun?
Copy !req
927. Why ‒
Copy !req
928. I never thought of that.
Copy !req
929. So you got the names.
What else do you want?
Copy !req
930. I want you to tell me about Athabadze.
Copy !req
931. It's, uh, Van or... Wasaw.
Copy !req
932. - Atha -
- What about him?
Copy !req
933. I'd like you to tell me
what you thought of him.
Copy !req
934. I was crazy in love with him, mister.
Copy !req
935. - But what's all this to you?
- Well, you see, I work for Athabadze.
Copy !req
936. Of course, he has a different name now.
Copy !req
937. Sure.
Copy !req
938. Gregory Arkadin.
Copy !req
939. - You knew that?
- Years ago.
Copy !req
940. Chato, give me those photograph albums.
Copy !req
941. And you never said anything?
Copy !req
942. But you must have realized
what that information was worth.
Copy !req
943. Money. Money I don't need.
Copy !req
944. But even if I did, mister,
that kind of money I couldn't use.
Copy !req
945. Not that Wasaw don't owe me. He does.
Copy !req
946. - 200,000 Swiss francs?
- It was in gold.
Copy !req
947. He borrowed this money?
Copy !req
948. If that's the way he remembers it.
Copy !req
949. Give me the old one.
Copy !req
950. Come here.
Copy !req
951. Oskar.
Copy !req
952. There.
Copy !req
953. I guess he must have
grown his beard after he left you.
Copy !req
954. He had a beard when I saw him
in Monte Carlo.
Copy !req
955. But I knew him.
Copy !req
956. That was years later.
Copy !req
957. Sitting right next to me he was,
and he didn't know me.
Copy !req
958. Why should he?
Copy !req
959. Not that he hadn't changed too,
of course.
Copy !req
960. But why the beard? I don't know.
Copy !req
961. Maybe it had something to do with his
daughter growing up. I wouldn't know either.
Copy !req
962. This is even the first time
I've heard about the child.
Copy !req
963. - Who is he married to?
- Somebody in Berlin.
Copy !req
964. - Yeah?
- She died when Raina was born.
Copy !req
965. Ah.
Copy !req
966. The only time I saw him afterwards
was that night in the casino.
Copy !req
967. When he got up from the game
and moved over to the roulette...
Copy !req
968. somebody whispered,
"There goes the famous Gregory Arkadin."
Copy !req
969. So that's how I found out
what happened to my boyfriend...
Copy !req
970. and the money.
Copy !req
971. I was going to talk to him.
Copy !req
972. "Hello, Wasaw," I was going to say.
"Where's the money you stole from me?
Copy !req
973. "Where's the gold pieces I had stored away
in my old pair of drawers, Wasaw?
Copy !req
974. Now that you are the great Mr. Arkadin,
maybe you could afford to pay me back."
Copy !req
975. But I didn't.
Copy !req
976. There was that old, hard, lonely
kind of look in his eyes.
Copy !req
977. I thought of all the fun
we had together.
Copy !req
978. Besides, he was winning.
Copy !req
979. I'd been playing his numbers,
and I was winning too.
Copy !req
980. A whole lot more than what he took
from me all those years ago...
Copy !req
981. even figuring the interest.
Copy !req
982. So, I thought to myself...
Copy !req
983. "Here he's gone to so much trouble
to be somebody else.
Copy !req
984. Why should I spoil it for him?"
Copy !req
985. I had my money's worth
20 years before.
Copy !req
986. You can go now, mister.
Copy !req
987. And when you see your boss...
Copy !req
988. tell him from me he could
leave well enough alone.
Copy !req
989. - You mean he doesn't have to worry about you?
- Why does anybody worry?
Copy !req
990. He's a billionaire with a new name.
Copy !req
991. So Oskar takes dope.
Copy !req
992. Let them both have what they need.
Copy !req
993. It's your deal, darling.
Copy !req
994. - Yeah?
- Mr. Arkadin is calling you.
Copy !req
995. - Okay.
- How are you coming, Van Stratten?
Copy !req
996. Couldn't be better, Arkadin.
I finally got the goods on you.
Copy !req
997. - What?
- The dirt. All of it. From before '27.
Copy !req
998. - Can you prove it?
- On the long-distance telephone?
Copy !req
999. Come and talk to me.
I want to talk to you now.
Copy !req
1000. I don't think you understand.
I'm in Mex ‒
Copy !req
1001. You - You didn't know
I was on this side of the ocean.
Copy !req
1002. This your first trip to Mexico?
It's mine.
Copy !req
1003. Seem to be treating you pretty good, huh?
Copy !req
1004. This part of the hotel is private.
They keep it for me.
Copy !req
1005. - I suppose you own the hotel.
- Well, as a matter of fact ‒
Copy !req
1006. Okay.
Copy !req
1007. - What does she say?
- Chiquita says she wants to go waterskiing.
Copy !req
1008. It's an amusing sport. I'd like to try it myself.
Copy !req
1009. - Yeah. You'd look real cute in a pair of water skis.
- Oh, you think it'd be funny?
Copy !req
1010. I'll take your picture.
You can judge for yourself.
Copy !req
1011. - Mr. Arkadin would look exactly like Neptune.
- Who?
Copy !req
1012. Neptune. He was the god of the sea.
Copy !req
1013. - Yeah? Did you know that?
- No.
Copy !req
1014. That's what I thought.
We're both a couple of mugs.
Copy !req
1015. I'm leaving tonight.
Sell our Mexican pesos and buy Chilean.
Copy !req
1016. Remember what I said about copper. Oh, and, uh,
get Chiquita a little present to remember us by.
Copy !req
1017. Check.
Copy !req
1018. - I found Sophie.
- Sophie.
Copy !req
1019. She's married money, but a character
known as Oskar's her real husband.
Copy !req
1020. - He's blackmailing her.
- Oh?
Copy !req
1021. - I'll put all the details in my report.
- Never mind your report.
Copy !req
1022. - But I do mind it.
I'm gonna get paid for it. Remember?
- Tell me what you know.
Copy !req
1023. In the old days in Warsaw,
Sophie had nine men working for her.
Copy !req
1024. Four are dead. Two are behind the iron
curtain, so they can't make you any trouble.
Copy !req
1025. Oskar's here. That leaves somebody
in Germany called Jakob Zouk.
Copy !req
1026. - And one other.
- And this other man?
Copy !req
1027. What's he up to?
Copy !req
1028. - He says he wants to go waterskiing.
- Any proof?
Copy !req
1029. Not till I take your picture.
I'm sorry. I forgot. You're camera shy.
Copy !req
1030. - Stop trying to be funny.
- I think it's funny!
Copy !req
1031. You were born near Tiflis. Your real name
is Wasaw Athabadze. I think it's funny.
Copy !req
1032. - Who says that's my name?
- Oskar. So would Sophie ‒
Copy !req
1033. Are you trying to tell me
in all seriousness that...
Copy !req
1034. I belonged to this gang?
Copy !req
1035. You belonged to Sophie.
Copy !req
1036. I ‒
Copy !req
1037. This man in Germany -
Can he identify me too?
Copy !req
1038. Zouk's in a safe place, Mr. Arkadin.
He's in jail.
Copy !req
1039. Speaking of jail...
Copy !req
1040. there's some gentlemen
waiting to talk to you.
Copy !req
1041. - Well, tell 'em I'm busy.
- I think you'd be wiser to see them.
Copy !req
1042. They're from the police,
and they want to take you to your plane.
Copy !req
1043. - Oh, and one thing more.
- Yeah?
Copy !req
1044. These things you claim
to be finding out about me ‒
Copy !req
1045. don't speak of them to my daughter.
Copy !req
1046. - I have your word on that?
- My word? What's that worth to you?
Copy !req
1047. Perhaps a man like you can't realize
what it is to have a conscience...
Copy !req
1048. and no memory at all.
Copy !req
1049. You imagine it's pleasant to be ashamed
of something you can't even remember?
Copy !req
1050. On my way through to Germany
I stopped off in Spain to see Raina.
Copy !req
1051. Will all passengers proceed ‒
Copy !req
1052. I intended to go to Germany too,
you know, for Christmas.
Copy !req
1053. But of course the ogre wouldn't let me,
so I came to Spain to wait for him here.
Copy !req
1054. Your father's going to Germany too?
Checking up on me, huh?
Copy !req
1055. Well, you know Pops. He can't help it.
Copy !req
1056. Counterespionage, mystery.
After all, he is a Russian.
Copy !req
1057. - Hmm.
- It's the breath of life to him.
Copy !req
1058. Hey. Wait a minute.
What makes you think he's a Russian?
Copy !req
1059. - Well, I'm his daughter.
- He doesn't know himself.
Copy !req
1060. - He really doesn't!
- Is that what he told you?
Copy !req
1061. - What about the famous amnesia?
- Amnesia?
Copy !req
1062. Look. In 1927, your father found himself alone
in Zurich with no memory at all.
Copy !req
1063. He didn't know who he was,
where he‒
Copy !req
1064. When I arrived in Munich...
Copy !req
1065. I had yet another surprise
waiting for me.
Copy !req
1066. - Polizei.
- Yes.
- Jawohl.
Copy !req
1067. Okay. What do you want?
Copy !req
1068. We're acting as a courtesy for the Italian police.
Copy !req
1069. This is a question of, uh, murder.
Copy !req
1070. - This happened in Italy? A knifing?
- Yes. As a matter of fact ‒
Copy !req
1071. It's very interesting to learn
how you that knew.
Copy !req
1072. - Knew that.
- Well, a man died right in front of me.
Copy !req
1073. Well, the Italian police sent us
a photograph of the victim.
Copy !req
1074. This is an old case.
It's already settled.
Copy !req
1075. Why don't you just let me go?
Mr. Arkadin's giving a party.
Copy !req
1076. - I've gotta get ‒
- Arkadin?
Copy !req
1077. - Gregory Arkadin?
- Right.
Copy !req
1078. But you're not on your way to his hotel.
Copy !req
1079. Oh, yes, I am. I just changed my mind.
Copy !req
1080. - Uh-huh.
- Uh ‒
Copy !req
1081. We'll bring the photograph
to Mr. Arkadin's, uh, apartment.
Copy !req
1082. - Yeah?
- Uh, he says, uh,
"Have a nice time at the party, please."
Copy !req
1083. - Christmas merry.
- Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
1084. - Merry Christmas.
- Tell him thanks.
Copy !req
1085. Yes, thanks. I know all about it.
Copy !req
1086. Oh!
Copy !req
1087. - Merry Christmas.
- Are you kiddin'?
Copy !req
1088. What about the man in jail? The one you
came here to see. What's his name?
Copy !req
1089. - You know as well as I do. Jakob Zouk. He's gone.
- Gone? You mean escaped?
Copy !req
1090. No. His time was almost up, and he's dying,
so they let him out.
Copy !req
1091. He lives in a rooming house
in Sebastianplatz 16.
Copy !req
1092. If he's dying, then there's nobody left
for me to worry about.
Copy !req
1093. - Except you, of course.
- I'm not the only one.
Copy !req
1094. What about Sophie and Oskar?
Copy !req
1095. Long-distance operator, please.
Copy !req
1096. Long distance? I want to place a call.
It's urgent. I'll wait at this number.
Copy !req
1097. The call is to Mrs. Sophie Jesús Martínez
of Mexico City.
Copy !req
1098. He says a gentleman downstairs
asked him to deliver this.
Copy !req
1099. Oh, thank you.
Danke schön.
Copy !req
1100. - Yes?
- You got the photograph?
Copy !req
1101. Oh, you haven't looked at it yet?
Please. Do so, Mr. Van Stratten.
Copy !req
1102. As we say, there's reason to believe
that you knew the murder victim.
Copy !req
1103. - Van Stratten.
- Yes?
Copy !req
1104. - About that call of yours. That call -
- What about it?
Copy !req
1105. What call?
Copy !req
1106. Oh, it appears that Mr. Van Stratten wished
to speak personally to a certain Madame...
Copy !req
1107. Jesús Martini or Martínez.
Copy !req
1108. What are you calling Sophie for?
Copy !req
1109. Just a hunch. Well?
Copy !req
1110. Madame Martínez is not available.
She appears to be deceased.
Copy !req
1111. Perhaps Mr. Van Stratten
would like to speak to her house.
Copy !req
1112. Yes. Yes. I certainly would.
Copy !req
1113. There's no need to call Mexico.
Copy !req
1114. What happened to Sophie?
Copy !req
1115. Did she get it like Mily?
With a knife?
Copy !req
1116. And Oskar?
Copy !req
1117. I was wondering if there's any point
in trying to call him.
Copy !req
1118. - What for?
- I don't know. Wish him merry Christmas.
Copy !req
1119. You'd be wasting your time.
Copy !req
1120. Cops in Naples shot down a guy with
a wooden leg. They think he killed Bracco.
Copy !req
1121. But I think that this Bracco was knifed by the man
he and the peg leg were trying to blackmail.
Copy !req
1122. - It's a theory.
- And I could prove it
if the blackmailers weren't dead.
Copy !req
1123. They aren't all dead,
Mr. Van Stratten.
Copy !req
1124. Yeah. Then there was Mily.
Copy !req
1125. Poor kid.
All she did was deliver a message.
Copy !req
1126. Don't try to pretend she wasn't
in on it with you.
Copy !req
1127. - She didn't even know what the names
Sophie or Bracco meant!
- What?
Copy !req
1128. Yeah. And Sophie knew all about you.
She'd known for years, and she didn't care!
Copy !req
1129. Live And Let Live.
That was Sophie's motto.
Copy !req
1130. - Why didn't you tell me about this before?
- I didn't know she was in any danger.
Copy !req
1131. That should have been obvious.
Copy !req
1132. Bracco and Mily.
Copy !req
1133. Sophie and Oskar.
Copy !req
1134. Now there's only Jakob Zouk.
Just one left.
Copy !req
1135. Sure you aren't losing count?
Copy !req
1136. To you, Van Stratten.
Copy !req
1137. Ask me why ‒
Copy !req
1138. why he's been
knocking off everybody...
Copy !req
1139. that might remember
that crummy little secret of his.
Copy !req
1140. I'd say it was all because of Raina.
Copy !req
1141. He's gone right off his rocker at the thought
that she might find out about him.
Copy !req
1142. Well, you're the next to go.
He's saving me for the last one.
Copy !req
1143. I've done all the dirty work. The only way
I could save myself is by saving you, hiding you.
Copy !req
1144. That's why you're so important.
You're the last living member of the gang.
Copy !req
1145. Gang, schmang.
I belonged to lots of gangs.
Copy !req
1146. - Yes, I know.
- So, who once said you are the boss?
Copy !req
1147. So now he's got a n-name. He's rich. So go ahead.
Get some of the money away from him.
Copy !req
1148. But for this you gotta
drive me out in the cold?
Copy !req
1149. He might be here at any minute.
I gave him your address.
Copy !req
1150. - You mean here?
- That was before I knew he was the ‒
Copy !req
1151. - Killer, schmiller. You gotta prove it.
- Prove it?
Copy !req
1152. Yeah. A big important man like this does
something he shouldn't do...
Copy !req
1153. gotta prove it good.
Copy !req
1154. Oskar and Sophie were found dead
in a ditch in Mexico City with their throats cut.
Copy !req
1155. I just found that out
on the long-distance telephone.
Copy !req
1156. - Go ahead and laugh.
- I'm not laughing. I'm coughing.
Copy !req
1157. Well, go ahead and cough!
Die if you've got your heart set on it.
Copy !req
1158. I'm young. I don't want to wind up
with a knife in my gut!
Copy !req
1159. Where I'm going, nobody could bother me.
I ain't scared, but you are.
Copy !req
1160. So, better start running.
Copy !req
1161. Running? Where to?
Copy !req
1162. It's a big world, mister.
Copy !req
1163. Not so big when Arkadin's after you.
Besides, he owns half of it.
Copy !req
1164. - So what do you want with me?
- You knew him in Warsaw.
Copy !req
1165. You're the last one alive that did.
As long as I can keep you alive ‒
Copy !req
1166. - Hey. Mister. Mister.
- Come on.
Copy !req
1167. Give me my blanket.
Copy !req
1168. You're coming with me.
There must be something you want.
Copy !req
1169. - Something you dreamed of all those years in jail.
- But this late Christmas Eve.
How could you go shopping?
Copy !req
1170. - What is it?
- Where you going?
Copy !req
1171. - We gotta get out.
- But this way ain't out, mister.
Copy !req
1172. - Which way?
- That way.
Copy !req
1173. Listen. Whatever you want...
Copy !req
1174. I'm gonna get it for you, Mr. Zouk.
Copy !req
1175. If I have to commit robbery, arson
or murder, you're going to have it!
Copy !req
1176. At least let me get my pants.
Copy !req
1177. - What do you want with your pants?
- What I do without them?
Copy !req
1178. Come on!
Copy !req
1179. Ain't you got no sense of decency?
Copy !req
1180. Also it's cold, mister.
I'll catch me a chill.
Copy !req
1181. He's coming into the courtyard now.
I've gotta hide you.
Copy !req
1182. Uh, I just moved in.
I don't know nobody who lives here.
Copy !req
1183. Why couldn't we stay up in my room?
Copy !req
1184. Where do you think he's gonna look?
He's gotta find you're gone.
Copy !req
1185. What's he gonna think if he catches me
out here dancing around in my underdrawers?
Copy !req
1186. Also the police, mister.
I'm on parole, good behavior.
Copy !req
1187. For this I can go right smack back
into the jail!
Copy !req
1188. Shut up!
Copy !req
1189. - This door is open.
- So it's open. Whose door is it?
Copy !req
1190. What's it matter? Get in!
Copy !req
1191. Psst. Give me my pants.
Copy !req
1192. Get in there and shut up. Get in that bed.
Copy !req
1193. - Whose bed?
- Here's some money. Lock the door.
Copy !req
1194. - What I do if my husband finds him? Understand?
- I'm on parole.
Copy !req
1195. - Hey, mister. You know what the man said.
- I ain't heard that piece in 14 years.
Copy !req
1196. Get into bed.
Copy !req
1197. That's something else
I ain't heard in 14 years.
Copy !req
1198. Too late.
Copy !req
1199. I tell you. I just got here.
That's why I haven't seen him.
Copy !req
1200. That - That's the wrong room.
I went in there by mistake.
Copy !req
1201. Zouk lives up in the garret.
Shall we go see if he's there?
Copy !req
1202. There's just a woman in there.
She's entertaining.
Copy !req
1203. What do you want?
Can't you see I got company?
Copy !req
1204. Go away.
Go away, or I'll call the police.
Copy !req
1205. - Coming back to the party?
- Party?
Copy !req
1206. Oh, yes. Your party, Mr. Arkadin.
Of course.
Copy !req
1207. Well, first I think I'd better go upstairs.
Copy !req
1208. And talk to Jakob Zouk?
Copy !req
1209. Go ahead, Van Stratten.
Go upstairs and talk to him.
Copy !req
1210. Shivering.
Copy !req
1211. It's cold.
There is no heat in this building.
Copy !req
1212. And the rent they charge.
You'd think ‒
Copy !req
1213. How much would it cost
to move where it's warm?
Copy !req
1214. - I owe three weeks.
- How much?
Copy !req
1215. - 150 marks. Or something like that.
- Hmm.
Copy !req
1216. - Here's a thousand.
- Thank you, sir.
Copy !req
1217. - Thank you.
- There was nobody at home?
Copy !req
1218. That's right. Nobody.
Copy !req
1219. So what's funny?
Copy !req
1220. Old age.
Copy !req
1221. Old age.
Copy !req
1222. Hey. Hey! Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
1223. Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
1224. - What did you tell him?
- Well, we just talked about how cold it is.
Copy !req
1225. - You. What did he say to you?
- I just now thought of what I want.
Copy !req
1226. - We'd better get out of here quick.
- You said I could have anything ‒
Copy !req
1227. - Of course you can. Anything.
- Anything in the world, you said.
Copy !req
1228. For 14 years I've been dreaming of this.
Copy !req
1229. Dreaming.
In ‒ In jail, that's all you could do.
Copy !req
1230. Well, what is it?
Copy !req
1231. - A goose liver.
- Did you say a goose liver?
Copy !req
1232. Fresh and hot.
Copy !req
1233. With mashed potatoes
and apples and onions.
Copy !req
1234. Merry Christmas!
Copy !req
1235. A goose liver? On Christmas Eve?
Copy !req
1236. In my usual style? Never!
Copy !req
1237. - Leave me alone, or I quit!
- Well?
Copy !req
1238. It's no use. A hot goose liver ‒
That's the thing with the one day warning.
Copy !req
1239. - Goose liver.
- Okay. Thank you very much. I'll think of something.
Copy !req
1240. If I don't get that goose liver,
I'm going home.
Copy !req
1241. Well, how about a nice big
cut of roast beef?
Copy !req
1242. Or maybe a hot stuffed turkey?
Copy !req
1243. - Goose liver.
- But look. Arkadin ‒
Copy !req
1244. Arkadin, schmadin! Aaah!
Copy !req
1245. Didn't even recognize me.
Copy !req
1246. Are you sure?
Copy !req
1247. Didn't say nothing.
Copy !req
1248. Hey. Hey.
Hey! You're leaving me! Wait!
Copy !req
1249. Get back!
Will you keep the door locked?
Copy !req
1250. We registered in the hotel under false names,
but you can't tell. He may have traced us.
Copy !req
1251. - I'll give you an hour.
- Okay.
Copy !req
1252. If you ain't back by that time ‒
Copy !req
1253. - I'll be back.
- Hot and fresh?
Copy !req
1254. Fresh and hot.
Copy !req
1255. With mashed potatoes and apples and...
Copy !req
1256. onions?
Copy !req
1257. You're locking me.
Copy !req
1258. Hey, mister!
Copy !req
1259. Hey! If you don't unlock the door,
I'll yell for help.
Copy !req
1260. Help!
Copy !req
1261. Help! Help!
Copy !req
1262. Okay. You win.
Copy !req
1263. The door's unlocked.
Copy !req
1264. But if you don't behave yourself,
there'll be no goose liver.
Copy !req
1265. - You understand?
- I'll give you an hour.
Copy !req
1266. Hey, Mac. Could you fix me up
with a goose liver?
Copy !req
1267. Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
1268. What are you doing now?
Copy !req
1269. Shopping. Just some shopping.
Copy !req
1270. You'd better get in.
We're blocking the road.
Copy !req
1271. They know me at this restaurant.
They'll take care of you.
Copy !req
1272. Well, why don't we go in?
Or don't you want to be seen with me?
Copy !req
1273. Quite a number of people
have been seen with you.
Copy !req
1274. Bracco, for instance.
Bracco was with you when he died.
Copy !req
1275. Sophie and Oskar were in Mexico.
Copy !req
1276. Mily was your girl.
Copy !req
1277. Yeah, but ‒
Copy !req
1278. - You're a dangerous man to be seen with.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
1279. I guess that's the way
you had it planned all along.
Copy !req
1280. I knew what I wanted.
Copy !req
1281. That's the difference between us.
Copy !req
1282. In this world there are those who give
and those who ask.
Copy !req
1283. Those who do not care to give...
Copy !req
1284. those who do not dare to ask.
Copy !req
1285. You dared. But you were never quite sure
what you were asking for.
Copy !req
1286. Now there's nothing more you could
hope to beg from me, Van Stratten.
Copy !req
1287. Not money.
Copy !req
1288. Certainly not my daughter.
Copy !req
1289. Not even your life.
Copy !req
1290. Give the gentleman his goose liver.
Copy !req
1291. Well, here we are.
Copy !req
1292. I finally got it.
Copy !req
1293. Wake up, Mr. Zouk.
Here's what you've been waitin' for.
Copy !req
1294. Hey, Mr. Zouk.
Copy !req
1295. Jawohl, mein Herr.
Copy !req
1296. - Sanctuary?
- What?
Copy !req
1297. Try praying for both of us.
Copy !req
1298. I had to go somewhere.
Somebody might've run me down in the street.
Copy !req
1299. I can't go back to my hotel room. In case
you've forgotten, there's a corpse in there.
Copy !req
1300. I haven't.
I don't suffer from amnesia.
Copy !req
1301. A pity. It is a merciful affliction.
Copy !req
1302. Might prove useful in
your conversations with the police.
Copy !req
1303. About you? Raina's father?
Copy !req
1304. Do you think I could do that?
Copy !req
1305. I no longer think of you at all.
Copy !req
1306. You don't think of anything else.
Not anymore.
Copy !req
1307. Just me and yourself and Raina.
Copy !req
1308. We're all sort of tied up together,
the three of us, aren't we?
Copy !req
1309. She's what matters.
Copy !req
1310. What matters to you
is what she thinks of you.
Copy !req
1311. Maybe she'd be better off
without either one of us.
Copy !req
1312. But don't worry. She's safe with me.
Copy !req
1313. I don't think anyone is ever safe
with a blackmailer.
Copy !req
1314. - Where will you go now?
- Where I'll be safe.
Copy !req
1315. - Safe?
- I've got a seat on a plane. The last seat.
Copy !req
1316. - Where will you fly to?
- Spain.
Copy !req
1317. You've got a castle in Spain, Mr. Arkadin.
A regular fortress.
Copy !req
1318. That's where I'll be safe.
With your daughter.
Copy !req
1319. To the airport, quick!
Copy !req
1320. - Arkadin's orders!
- Jawohl, mein Herr.
Copy !req
1321. Hello. This is Mr. Gregory Arkadin's
secretary here again.
Copy !req
1322. I'm sorry, sir. I told you before. There's nothing.
We are completely booked up, sir.
Copy !req
1323. But you simply have to
hold that flight, I tell you.
Copy !req
1324. Mr. Arkadin is racing to the airport now.
He's got to be on that plane.
Copy !req
1325. We are completely booked up, sir.
This is Christmas.
Copy !req
1326. Listen to me. One of the passengers
is a Mr. Guy Van Stratten.
Copy !req
1327. You must put that man off the plane.
He works for Mr. Arkadin.
Copy !req
1328. Sir, Mr. Van Stratten has a reservation.
Copy !req
1329. - Miss, I want to send a telegram, please.
- Just a moment, please.
Copy !req
1330. Mr. Arkadin is one of the leading
shareholders in your airline.
Copy !req
1331. Sorry, sir, but an airline is a public service.
Besides, this is Christmas.
Copy !req
1332. Announcing the departure of
Flight 16 for Barcelona and Madrid.
Copy !req
1333. - Did you get my telegram off to Spain for me?
- Yes, Mr. Van Stratten.
Copy !req
1334. Will you please step this way?
There's a gentleman waiting to see you.
Copy !req
1335. See me? But what about my plane?
Copy !req
1336. He promised to keep you
only a minute.
Copy !req
1337. There's nothing at this late hour.
Copy !req
1338. I want your seat on that plane.
Copy !req
1339. So you can get to
talk to Raina before I do?
Copy !req
1340. You hired me to buy me off, didn't ‒
Copy !req
1341. You even thought you could get me to cover up,
but you didn't want her to find out.
Copy !req
1342. - I want that seat. What's your price?
- Too late. Too many people are dead.
Copy !req
1343. Zouk's dead in my hotel room.
Somebody's gonna have to hang for that.
I don't want it to be me.
Copy !req
1344. If you do see her first,
what makes you think she'll believe you?
Copy !req
1345. - When she hears my story ‒
- She'll hear my story first, Arkadin.
Copy !req
1346. Too bad, Mr. Arkadin.
I wish I could help, but ‒
Copy !req
1347. I must be on that plane!
Copy !req
1348. Listen to me, everybody.
I must have a seat on that plane!
Copy !req
1349. I will pay anything.
I'll give you a check now.
Copy !req
1350. I'll pay in dollars. Any currency.
Copy !req
1351. Fifty million marks
for a seat on that plane!
Copy !req
1352. My name is Gregory Arkadin!
Copy !req
1353. Yeah, and I'm Santa Claus!
Copy !req
1354. I'll pay in dollars! Any currency!
Copy !req
1355. Merry Christmas!
Copy !req
1356. Raina. Raina Arkadin.
Copy !req
1357. She's there somewhere in the airport.
She's meeting a man called Van Stratten.
Copy !req
1358. He wired her to meet him.
I want to speak to her first.
Copy !req
1359. She's there, I tell you. At the airport.
Bring her to the radio at once!
Copy !req
1360. Raina!
Copy !req
1361. - Well, chum, what's eating you?
- Miss Arkadin, it's your father. Something urgent.
Copy !req
1362. I don't care what that is.
I've gotta talk to you first alone.
Copy !req
1363. - Just a minute.
- Alone!
Copy !req
1364. Okay, okay. What's all the rush with you?
Copy !req
1365. Your father's on his way in a chartered plane.
He'll be here anytime now.
Copy !req
1366. - Exactly ‒
- I know this sounds nutty, but ‒
Copy !req
1367. - Will you please excuse us for just a second?
- It's all right, old boy. If you insist.
Copy !req
1368. - Mr. Arkadin says that -
- Sorry.
Copy !req
1369. Both of you! You too!
Copy !req
1370. Now, look.
Copy !req
1371. I want you to pretend to him
that I told you something.
Copy !req
1372. If it's so important, why shouldn't you
really tell me? Why pretend?
Copy !req
1373. Why? Well, I can't go to the cops.
They'll be comin' after me.
Copy !req
1374. - So that's what you're in such a flap about.
- Not just the cops. Your father!
Copy !req
1375. If he thinks I've talked to you, he'll know
he can't lay a hand on me without proving it's true.
Copy !req
1376. But why use me to trick him?
Copy !req
1377. Because you're all he really cares about -
you and what you think of him.
Copy !req
1378. What are you trying to do?
Break his heart?
Copy !req
1379. - I want to save my life, Raina.
- Señorita, I really think you'd better come now.
Copy !req
1380. My daughter! I want to speak to my daughter!
Copy !req
1381. We don't know his exact position.
He's alone, flying himself in a chartered plane.
Copy !req
1382. He's been on the radio for a while,
asking to talk to you.
Copy !req
1383. He sounds -
Well, you better speak to him yourself.
Copy !req
1384. Put her on! I want to talk to her!
Copy !req
1385. - My daughter! I want to speak to my daughter!
- Yes, Father.
Copy !req
1386. Have you seen Van Stratten?
Copy !req
1387. - Yes. Tell him yes. Yes.
- Yes. Yes. Just now!
Copy !req
1388. Don't let him talk to you.
Refuse to listen. I beg you. Wait!
Copy !req
1389. - Tell him it's too late. Too late!
- It's too late.
Copy !req
1390. Father.
Copy !req
1391. Why don't you answer?
Copy !req
1392. Father.
Copy !req
1393. Father. Father.
Copy !req
1394. Hey. Hey, look.
Copy !req
1395. Is it true?
Copy !req
1396. That Arkadin's plane's
flying around up there empty?
Copy !req
1397. I saved your precious life for you.
I had to kill my father to do it.
Copy !req
1398. Is there anything else
you want from me?
Copy !req
1399. You want to know the real truth?
Copy !req
1400. He was ‒
Copy !req
1401. He was capable of anything.
Copy !req
1402. Once, a long time ago...
Copy !req
1403. he was something less
than Mr. Arkadin.
Copy !req
1404. That's what he couldn't stand
having you know about.
Copy !req
1405. That he was once something like me.
Copy !req
1406. I might as well have thrown him out
with my own hands.
Copy !req
1407. He would have done it to you.
Copy !req
1408. - Maybe you oughta go after her.
- You sure she wouldn't rather be alone?
Copy !req
1409. - No, but I would.
- Yes, I suppose so.
Copy !req
1410. Of course, it is rather awful,
but to tell the truth ‒
Copy !req
1411. "Rather awful"?
Copy !req
1412. I mean, she loved him well enough.
But the way he felt about her ‒ It ‒
Copy !req
1413. Well, it wasn't healthy.
It's better just as well.
Copy !req
1414. - She's better off without him.
- Yeah? Better off without me too?
Copy !req
1415. "Rather awful."
Copy !req
1416. - What did you say?
- Losing the girl I love?
Copy !req
1417. A beautiful girl who loved me,
just inherited a hundred million bucks?
Copy !req
1418. "Rather awful"?
Maybe you oughta find a better word.
Copy !req
1419. Go on. Beat it, Your Lordship. I might just
forget myself and take a punch right at your nose.
Copy !req
1420. Oh, yes? And you might
get punched back too, you know.
Copy !req
1421. Yeah. I know.
Copy !req
1422. That's why I'd rather be alone.
Copy !req
1423. - What are you gonna do now?
- Drive somewhere.
Copy !req
1424. I'll do the driving.
Copy !req
