1. Quick! We can't
hold him back much longer.Copy !req
2. Hurry!Copy !req
3. Come on!Copy !req
4. Quick!Copy !req
5. Faster!Copy !req
6. Up on the balcony!
Come on! Quickly!Copy !req
7. Just read them
the sentence!Copy !req
8. The sentence of the court...Copy !req
9. is that in two days hence...Copy !req
10. the perfumer journeyman :
Jean-Baptiste Grenouille...Copy !req
11. shall be bound
to a wooden cross...Copy !req
12. with his face raised
towards heaven!Copy !req
13. And whilst still alive...Copy !req
14. be dealt twelve blows
with an iron rod...Copy !req
15. breaking the joints
of his arms...Copy !req
16. his shoulders...Copy !req
17. his hips...Copy !req
18. his legs!Copy !req
19. He shall then be raised up
to hang until dead.Copy !req
20. And all customary acts of mercy...Copy !req
21. are expressly forbidden
the executioner.Copy !req
22. In 18th century France...Copy !req
23. there lived a man who was one of the most gifted
and notorious personages of his time.Copy !req
24. His name was
Jean-Baptiste Grenouille.Copy !req
25. And if his name has been forgotten today,
it is for the sole reason...Copy !req
26. that his entire ambition
was restricted to a domain...Copy !req
27. that leaves no trace in history:Copy !req
28. to the fleeting realm of scent.Copy !req
29. The Story of a MurdererCopy !req
30. In the period of which we speak...Copy !req
31. there reigned in the cities a stench
barely conceivable to us modern men and women.Copy !req
32. Naturally, the stench
was foulest in Paris...Copy !req
33. for Paris was
the largest city in Europe.Copy !req
34. And nowhere in Paris was that stench
more profoundly repugnant...Copy !req
35. than in the city's fish market.Copy !req
36. Here we are.
I'll get another box.Copy !req
37. It was here then,
on the most putrid spot in the whole kingdom...Copy !req
38. that Jean-Baptiste Grenouille was born...Copy !req
39. on the 17th of July, 1738.Copy !req
40. It was his mother's fifth birth.Copy !req
41. She delivered them all here
under her fish stand.Copy !req
42. And all had been stillbirths,
or semi-stillbirths.Copy !req
43. Are you alright?Copy !req
44. And by evening, the whole mess
had been shoveled away...Copy !req
45. with the fish guts
into the river.Copy !req
46. It would be much the same today...Copy !req
47. but then...Copy !req
48. Jean-Baptiste chose differently.Copy !req
49. What's that noise?Copy !req
50. It's... it's a baby.Copy !req
51. What's going on here?Copy !req
52. - It's a newborn.
- Where's his mother?Copy !req
53. She was just here.Copy !req
54. She tried to kill it, her own child.
She tried to kill a baby!Copy !req
55. There! There she is!Copy !req
56. - Stop! Stop where you are!
- Murderer!Copy !req
57. Thus, the first sound
to escape Grenouille's lips...Copy !req
58. sent his mother
to the gallows.Copy !req
59. And Jean-Baptiste,
by official order...Copy !req
60. to the orphanage
of Madame Gaillard.Copy !req
61. - How many today?
- Four, well... three and a half.Copy !req
62. - As usual, more dead than alive.
- Just take the money and sign!Copy !req
63. - Make room!
- Where?Copy !req
64. Move!Copy !req
65. Is he dead?Copy !req
66. - That's not staying in my bed.
- Let's throw it out then.Copy !req
67. - What if it screams?
- It's just a kiddie.Copy !req
68. Harder! Push!Copy !req
69. What are you doing?Copy !req
70. For Madame Gaillard...Copy !req
71. Grenouille was a source of income
just like any other.Copy !req
72. The children, however, sensed at once
that there was something different about him.Copy !req
73. By the age of five, Jean-Baptiste
still could not talk.Copy !req
74. But he had been born with a talent
that made him unique among their kind.Copy !req
75. It was not that the other children
hated him...Copy !req
76. they felt unnerved
by him.Copy !req
77. Increasingly, he became aware
that his phenomenal sense of smell...Copy !req
78. was a gift that had been give to him...Copy !req
79. and him alone.Copy !req
80. When Jean-Baptiste did
finally learn to speak...Copy !req
81. he soon found
that everyday language...Copy !req
82. proved inadequate for all the olfactory experience
he's accumulating within himself.Copy !req
83. Wood.Copy !req
84. Warm wood.Copy !req
85. Grass... wet grass.Copy !req
86. Stones... warm stones.Copy !req
87. Water... cold water.Copy !req
88. Frog.Copy !req
89. Wet stones.Copy !req
90. Big wet frog stones.Copy !req
91. Something...Copy !req
92. something, something.Copy !req
93. By the age of thirteen, Madame Gaillard
no longer had room for Jean-Baptiste...Copy !req
94. and therefore decided
to sell him.Copy !req
95. Come on!Copy !req
96. Ten francs.Copy !req
97. From his first breath
of the odor enveloping this man...Copy !req
98. Seven, it's not worth so much.Copy !req
99. Grenouille knew that his life
in Grimal's tannery...Copy !req
100. would be worth precisely
as much...Copy !req
101. as the work
he could accomplish.Copy !req
102. Unfortunately for Madame Gaillard...Copy !req
103. the bargain was short-lived.Copy !req
104. Life expectancy in the tannery
was a mere five years.Copy !req
105. But Jean-Baptiste proved to be
as tough as a resilient bacterium.Copy !req
106. He adjusted to
his new fate...Copy !req
107. and became a paragon
of docility and diligence...Copy !req
108. slaved 15, 16 hours a day,
summer and winter.Copy !req
109. Gradually, he became aware
of a world beyond the tannery...Copy !req
110. where utopia of unexplored smells
lay in store for him.Copy !req
111. Grenouille.Copy !req
112. Come with us.
I'm taking you to town for delivery.Copy !req
113. Jean-Baptiste Grenouille
had triumphed. He was alive.Copy !req
114. And at last, he was in his element.Copy !req
115. He was not choosing.Copy !req
116. He did not differentiate between
what is commonly considered to be...Copy !req
117. good smells from bad.Copy !req
118. At least, not yet.Copy !req
119. He was very greedy.Copy !req
120. The goal was to possess...Copy !req
121. everything the world had to offer
in the way of odors.Copy !req
122. His only condition being...
that they were new ones.Copy !req
123. Thousands upon thousands of odors
formed an invisible gruel...Copy !req
124. which he dissected into its
smallest and most remote parts of pieces.Copy !req
125. Grenouille!Copy !req
126. Come on!Copy !req
127. Your ass over here.Copy !req
128. - What is it called?
- "Amor and Psyche", madame.Copy !req
129. My little creation.Copy !req
130. - May I try it?
- If you allow me, mademoiselle.Copy !req
131. Sheer heaven...Copy !req
132. Monsieur Pelissier, you are
truly an artiste.Copy !req
133. What do you want?Copy !req
134. Want to buy some?Copy !req
135. Two for a sou.Copy !req
136. That's for you
running off like that.Copy !req
137. I'll kill you!Copy !req
138. That night, he could not sleep.Copy !req
139. The intoxicating power of the girls' scent
suddenly made it clear to him...Copy !req
140. why he had come to his own life
so tenaciously, so savagely.Copy !req
141. The meaning and purpose...Copy !req
142. of his miserable existence
had a higher destiny.Copy !req
143. He would learn
how to preserve scent...Copy !req
144. so that never again would he lose
such sublime beauty.Copy !req
145. There were about a dozen perfumers
in Paris in those days.Copy !req
146. One of them, the one celebrated
Italian perfumer, Giuseppe Baldini,Copy !req
147. had set up shop
in the center of the bridge,Copy !req
148. called "the Pont au Change" on his arrival
in Paris over thirty years ago.Copy !req
149. To be sure,
at one time in his youth,Copy !req
150. Baldini had created several truly great perfumes
to which he owed his fortune.Copy !req
151. But now, Baldini was out of touch,
out of fashion,Copy !req
152. and spent his days
waiting for customers that no longer came.Copy !req
153. - Chenier! There you are!
- Monsieur Baldini.Copy !req
154. Put on your wig.Copy !req
155. Put on your wig!Copy !req
156. You going out?Copy !req
157. I will retire to my study
for a few hours,Copy !req
158. and do not want to be disturbed
under any circumstances.Copy !req
159. Will you be creating
a new perfume, Monsieur Baldini?Copy !req
160. Correct.
For Count Verhamont.Copy !req
161. He's asked for something like...Copy !req
162. I think he said it was called...
"Amor and Psyche"?Copy !req
163. That swindler in the
rue Saint-Andre-des-Arts.Copy !req
164. - Pelissier.
- Pelissier! That's him.Copy !req
165. "Amor and Psyche".Copy !req
166. - Do you know it?
- Oh, yes.Copy !req
167. You can smell it everywhere
these days, monsieur.Copy !req
168. Every street corner.Copy !req
169. In fact, I just purchased
you a sample.Copy !req
170. In case you wanted
to test it.Copy !req
171. What on earth makes you think
I'd be interested in testing it?Copy !req
172. You're right.
It's nothing special.Copy !req
173. Actually, it's a very
common scent.Copy !req
174. I believe the head cord
contains lime oil.Copy !req
175. Really? And the heart cord?Copy !req
176. Orange blossom, I believe.Copy !req
177. And civet in the base cord,
but I cannot say for sure.Copy !req
178. Well, I couldn't care less what that bungler
Pelissier slops into his perfumes.Copy !req
179. Naturally not, monsieur.Copy !req
180. And I am thinking of creating something
for Count Verhamont...Copy !req
181. that will cause
a veritable sensation.Copy !req
182. I'm sure it will, Monsieur Baldini.Copy !req
183. Take charge of the shop, Chenier.
And don't let anyone come near me.Copy !req
184. Inspiration requires
peace and tranquility.Copy !req
185. Vanessa! Bring me the handkerchiefs!Copy !req
186. Here are your handkerchiefs.Copy !req
187. Grazie... grazie... grazie!Copy !req
188. Is there anything else
you need?Copy !req
189. Inspiration, perhaps.Copy !req
190. Come on, Giuseppe!Copy !req
191. You're still
the great perfumer Baldini.Copy !req
192. Bellissimo...
Wonderful...Copy !req
193. He did it again.Copy !req
194. Lime oil, yes indeed.Copy !req
195. Orange blossom, to be sure.Copy !req
196. And a hint of cloves, perhaps.Copy !req
197. No...Copy !req
198. Well, could be cinnamon.Copy !req
199. It's gone.Copy !req
200. Cinnamon.Copy !req
201. It's not cinnamon...Copy !req
202. Cloves.Copy !req
203. No...Copy !req
204. Musk?Copy !req
205. No.Copy !req
206. Who's there?Copy !req
207. I'm from Grimal's tannery.Copy !req
208. I've brought
the goatskins you ordered.Copy !req
209. Follow me.Copy !req
210. This way.Copy !req
211. There. Leave them there.Copy !req
212. Tell your master
the skins are fine.Copy !req
213. I'll come by the next few days
and pay for them.Copy !req
214. Yes, monsieur.Copy !req
215. You want to make this leather
smell good, don't you?Copy !req
216. - Why, of course.
- With "Amor and Psyche" by Pelissier?Copy !req
217. Whatever gave you the absurd idea
I would use someone else's perfume?Copy !req
218. It's all over you.Copy !req
219. It's on your forehead,
your nose, your hands.Copy !req
220. It's bad, "Amor and Psyche" is, master.
There's too much rosemary in it, and too much of...Copy !req
221. that and that.Copy !req
222. Bergamot and patchouli.Copy !req
223. Pa...Copy !req
224. - Patchouli.
- Patchou...Copy !req
225. What else?Copy !req
226. That and that.Copy !req
227. Orange blossom.Copy !req
228. Lime.Copy !req
229. - Musk.
- Musk.Copy !req
230. And cloves.Copy !req
231. And this.Copy !req
232. - Storax?
- That's in it too.Copy !req
233. - Storax. Storax.
- Storax. Storax.Copy !req
234. You have, it appears,
a fine nose, young man. But...Copy !req
235. My nose knows all the smells in the world.
It's the best nose in Paris.Copy !req
236. Only I don't know the names.
I need to learn the names...Copy !req
237. - learn them all...
- No! No! No! Basta!Copy !req
238. You don't interrupt me when I'm speaking.Copy !req
239. You're both impertinent
and insolent!Copy !req
240. Even I don't know every scent.Copy !req
241. I, of course, know for some time
the ingredients of "Amor and Psyche".Copy !req
242. But all it needs to find that out
is a passably fine nose, nothing else.Copy !req
243. But it needs the craft
of a true perfumer...Copy !req
244. to detect the exact formula.Copy !req
245. Which notes, which cords.
And in what precise measurements.Copy !req
246. Could you tell me the exact formula
of "Amor and Psyche"?Copy !req
247. "Best nose in Paris".Copy !req
248. Speak up!Copy !req
249. You see, you can't, can you?
And I'll tell you why.Copy !req
250. Because talent means
next to nothing!Copy !req
251. While experience, acquired in humility...Copy !req
252. and hard work, means everything.Copy !req
253. I don't, I don't know
what a formula is.Copy !req
254. But I can make
"Amor and Psyche" for you now.Copy !req
255. And you think I'll just let you
slop around in my laboratory...Copy !req
256. with essential oils
that are worth a fortune?Copy !req
257. You?Copy !req
258. - Yes.
- Now pay attention!Copy !req
259. What is your name, anyway?Copy !req
260. Jean-Baptiste Grenouille.Copy !req
261. Very well, Jean-Baptiste Grenouille.Copy !req
262. You shall have the opportunity now,
this very moment, to prove your assertion.Copy !req
263. Your grandiose failure will also be
an opportunity for you to learn...Copy !req
264. - the virtue of humility.
- How much do you want me to make?Copy !req
265. - How much of... what?
- How much "Amor and Psyche" do you want?Copy !req
266. - Shall I fill this flask?
- No! You shall not!Copy !req
267. - You may fill this one.
- Yes, master.Copy !req
268. - But, Master Baldini,
- Hmm?Copy !req
269. you must let me do it
in my own way.Copy !req
270. As you please.Copy !req
271. Don't drop that!
That's pure alcohol!Copy !req
272. You want to blow up
the entire building?Copy !req
273. You have to measure it first!Copy !req
274. Stop! Stop it!
That's enough! Basta!Copy !req
275. You know nothing!Copy !req
276. Essential oils are always to be
mixed first, then the alcohol added.Copy !req
277. And never ever let this perfume
to be shaken like that.Copy !req
278. I must've been insane
to listen to your asinine gibberish.Copy !req
279. Yes, we're done.Copy !req
280. Mamamiya...Copy !req
281. This is "Amor and Psyche".Copy !req
282. But it's not a good perfume, master.Copy !req
283. If you let me again, master,
I'll make it more better.Copy !req
284. That's a really good perfume.Copy !req
285. Don't you want
to smell it, master?Copy !req
286. I'm not in the mood
to test it now.Copy !req
287. I have other things
on my mind. Go now.Copy !req
288. - But, master...
- Go now!Copy !req
289. Can't I come to work
for you, master, can't I?Copy !req
290. - Let me think about it.
- Master!Copy !req
291. I have to learn
how to keep smell.Copy !req
292. - What?
- Can you teach me that?Copy !req
293. I shall have to think
about it. Now go.Copy !req
294. I love you.Copy !req
295. I'll give you 50 francs for him.Copy !req
296. Grenouille!Copy !req
297. Grimal's transaction had
a profound effect on all three parties.Copy !req
298. Hey, watch out!Copy !req
299. Now at least, upon
Monsieur Grimal himself.Copy !req
300. As for Giuseppe Baldini,Copy !req
301. the acquisition of Grenouille miraculously
transformed his dwindling business,Copy !req
302. even surpassing
its former glory.Copy !req
303. While at last, for Jean-Baptiste,Copy !req
304. the mysterious secret
of the perfumers' craft began to unfold.Copy !req
305. Now, pay careful attention
to what I tell you.Copy !req
306. Just like a musical cord,Copy !req
307. a perfume cord contains
four essences, or notes,Copy !req
308. carefully selected
for their harmonic affinity.Copy !req
309. Each perfume contains three cords:
the head, the heart and the base,Copy !req
310. necessitating twelve notes in all.Copy !req
311. The head cord contains
the first impression,Copy !req
312. lasting only a few minutes,
before giving way to the heart cord :Copy !req
313. the theme of the perfume,
lasting several hours.Copy !req
314. Finally, the base cord :Copy !req
315. the trail of the perfume,
lasting several days.Copy !req
316. Mind you, the ancient Egyptians believed
that one can only create a truly original perfume...Copy !req
317. by adding an extra note,
one final essence that will ring out...Copy !req
318. and dominate the others.Copy !req
319. Legend has it that a jar
was once found in a pharaoh's tomb.Copy !req
320. And when it was opened,
a perfume was released.Copy !req
321. After all those thousands of years,Copy !req
322. a perfume of such subtle beauty,
and yet such power,Copy !req
323. that for one single moment,Copy !req
324. every single person on earth
believed they were in paradise.Copy !req
325. Twelve essences
could be identified.Copy !req
326. But the thirteenth,
the vital one...Copy !req
327. could never be determined.Copy !req
328. Why not?Copy !req
329. What do you mean why not?Copy !req
330. Because it's a legend, numskull.Copy !req
331. What's a legend?Copy !req
332. Never mind.Copy !req
333. Jean-Baptiste. Jean-Baptiste.Copy !req
334. What's the matter?Copy !req
335. I... I have to learn
how to capture a scent.Copy !req
336. What are you talking about?Copy !req
337. I have to learn how... how to
capture a scent and "reprose" it forever.Copy !req
338. - You mean "preserve".
- Yes, teach me that.Copy !req
339. Calm down, my boy.
Calm down.Copy !req
340. We have work to do.Copy !req
341. The soul of beings is their scent.
You said that, master.Copy !req
342. Did I?Copy !req
343. I will make as many perfumes as you want.
But you have to teach me...Copy !req
344. how to capture
the smell of all things.Copy !req
345. Can you do that?Copy !req
346. - Well, naturally.
- Then teach me everything you know.Copy !req
347. And I'll make you the best perfumer
in the whole world.Copy !req
348. Imagine, Jean-Copy !req
349. ten thousand roses to produce
one single ounce of essential oil.Copy !req
350. Now, keep them flowing,
for the bottom petals will be given to stew,Copy !req
351. while I set up the alembic.Copy !req
352. And take care.
Not to damage them.Copy !req
353. We have to let them go to
their deaths with their scent intact.Copy !req
354. Perfect! Now, help me
with the boiler set.Copy !req
355. Temperature is vital.
When the quicksilver is here,Copy !req
356. the heat is precisely correct,
and the oil will gradually rise.Copy !req
357. Note that this mechanism is
a remarkable invention of my own devising.Copy !req
358. You will observe how cold water
is pumped through here,Copy !req
359. allowing the essence
to condense here...Copy !req
360. until it finally...Copy !req
361. appears...Copy !req
362. here!Copy !req
363. Of course, out on the hillside above Grasse,
we had only to bellow pure fresh air.Copy !req
364. Ah, Grasse! What a town.Copy !req
365. The Rome of scents.
The Promised Land of perfume.Copy !req
366. No man can rightly
call himself a perfumer,Copy !req
367. unless he has proved his worth
in that hallowed place.Copy !req
368. Not to worry!
It happens all the time.Copy !req
369. To Grasse.Copy !req
370. Master.Copy !req
371. Look.Copy !req
372. The very soul of the rose.Copy !req
373. Jean-Baptiste.Copy !req
374. What's wrong?Copy !req
375. Jean-Baptiste.Copy !req
376. - What have you done?
- You lied.Copy !req
377. - What?
- You lied to me.Copy !req
378. How dare you
talk to me like that!Copy !req
379. You said I could capture
the scent of anything.Copy !req
380. And so you can!Copy !req
381. What do you smell?Copy !req
382. Nothing.Copy !req
383. - What were you expecting to smell?
- Glass.Copy !req
384. - But glass doesn't smell.
- Of course it does. What's this?Copy !req
385. I don't smell a thing.Copy !req
386. Basta!Copy !req
387. - Did you smell that copper?
- Enough!Copy !req
388. You were trying to distil
the smell of copper?Copy !req
389. iron...Copy !req
390. glass...Copy !req
391. copper...Copy !req
392. What else did you try?Copy !req
393. No!Copy !req
394. Have you gone completely insane?Copy !req
395. You told me I had to experiment.Copy !req
396. Experiment? Experiment?
With a cat?Copy !req
397. What kind of a human being are you?Copy !req
398. Don't you know anything?Copy !req
399. You can no more distil
the scent of a cat...Copy !req
400. than you can distil
the scent of you and me!Copy !req
401. - I can't?
- Of course not!Copy !req
402. He's in stadio ultimo.Copy !req
403. - What?
- He's dying.Copy !req
404. Is there nothing you can do?Copy !req
405. - I fear not.
- No! He cannot die.Copy !req
406. - Well, the fee is 50 francs.
- 50 francs? You're a charlatan!Copy !req
407. Oh dear, Jean-Baptiste!Copy !req
408. You cannot do this to me.
Please, don't die on me.Copy !req
409. Not now, not yet!Copy !req
410. Is there...Copy !req
411. any other way...Copy !req
412. to preserve smell
besides distil it?Copy !req
413. Jean-Baptiste...Copy !req
414. - Is there, master?
- Well, yes, I... I believe there is.Copy !req
415. What is it?Copy !req
416. It is known as
the mysterious art of Enfleurage.Copy !req
417. Can you teach me?Copy !req
418. Not even I am intimate
with the secrets.Copy !req
419. But could I learn it in Grasse?Copy !req
420. - Well...
- Could I?Copy !req
421. Where else but in Grasse!Copy !req
422. Within a week, Grenouille was well again.Copy !req
423. But in order to travel to Grasse,
and find a job,Copy !req
424. he needed a journeyman's papers.Copy !req
425. Baldini agreed to provide them,Copy !req
426. on condition that Grenouille left him
not less than 100 formulas for new perfumes.Copy !req
427. Grenouille did not mind.
He could've given him a thousand.Copy !req
428. The morning of Grenouille's departure,
Baldini was pleased.Copy !req
429. At last, he felt rewarded
for his many years of hard work.Copy !req
430. He could not remember
a happier day.Copy !req
431. Deeply satisfied, he went
back to sleep...Copy !req
432. and awoke no more
in this life.Copy !req
433. With every step Grenouille took away
from the city, the happier he felt.Copy !req
434. The air above him grew
clearer, purer, cleaner.Copy !req
435. And at last, he was
able to breathe freely.Copy !req
436. There were two ways
to reach Grasse.Copy !req
437. The first followed the winding road
through the villages...Copy !req
438. while the second lay straight across
the hills and mountains,Copy !req
439. down into Provence.Copy !req
440. The choice was quite easy.Copy !req
441. Thus, his nose led him ever higher,
ever further from mankind.Copy !req
442. Ever more towards the magnetic pole
of the greatest possible solitude.Copy !req
443. Grenouille needed a moment...Copy !req
444. to believe that he had actually
found a spot on earth...Copy !req
445. where scent was almost absent.Copy !req
446. Spread all around...Copy !req
447. lay nothing but the tranquil
scent of dead stone.Copy !req
448. There was something
sacred about this place.Copy !req
449. No longer distracted
by anything external,Copy !req
450. he was finally able
to bask in his own existence.Copy !req
451. And found it splendid!Copy !req
452. After a while, he almost forgot
his plans and obsessions.Copy !req
453. And indeed,
might've done so altogether.Copy !req
454. Hello.Copy !req
455. There were a thousand smells
in his clothes.Copy !req
456. The smell of sand, stone, moss...Copy !req
457. even the smell of the sausage
he'd eaten weeks ago.Copy !req
458. Only one smell was not there:Copy !req
459. His own.Copy !req
460. For the first time in his life,
Grenouille realized...Copy !req
461. that he had no smell of his own.Copy !req
462. He realized that all his life...Copy !req
463. he had been a nobody
to everyone.Copy !req
464. What he now felt
was the fear of his own oblivion.Copy !req
465. It was as though...Copy !req
466. he did not exist.Copy !req
467. By the first light of next morning,
Grenouille had a new plan.Copy !req
468. He must continue
his journey to Grasse.Copy !req
469. There he would teach the world
not only that he existed...Copy !req
470. that he was someone...Copy !req
471. but that he was exceptional.Copy !req
472. And with this decision,Copy !req
473. it seemed that the gods
had at last begun to smile on him.Copy !req
474. Laura?Copy !req
475. Coming, papa.Copy !req
476. Haven't seen you here before.Copy !req
477. It's my first season.Copy !req
478. Picking together
is always more fun.Copy !req
479. They say you pick
everything you find.Copy !req
480. Idiot! How many times do I told you
not to cram the blossoms in...Copy !req
481. like you're stuffing a chicken?Copy !req
482. Watch how Grenouille does it.Copy !req
483. Look how skillfully he handles them.
The whole art of Enfleurage...Copy !req
484. is to allow the flowers to die slowly,
in their sleep as it were...Copy !req
485. handle them as you would a lady.
Wouldn't you agree with me, Druot?Copy !req
486. If you say so, madame.Copy !req
487. You! Check the jonquil blossoms.Copy !req
488. It need more time.Copy !req
489. Do what I say.Copy !req
490. Stop it!Copy !req
491. I'm not in the mood.Copy !req
492. Are you sure?Copy !req
493. Of course I'm sure.Copy !req
494. I said...Copy !req
495. "no".Copy !req
496. Suit yourself.Copy !req
497. Lucien?Copy !req
498. - Fetch me by the ladder!
- Fetch it yourself!Copy !req
499. Lucien?Copy !req
500. Lucien!Copy !req
501. Lucien?Copy !req
502. Lucien.Copy !req
503. Tuberoses.Copy !req
504. For Madame Arnulfi.
She here?Copy !req
505. She's busy.Copy !req
506. Seem such a waste to boil them!Copy !req
507. Or whatever you do with them.Copy !req
508. So, what do you do with them?Copy !req
509. - Warm them in animal fat.
- What for?Copy !req
510. The fat soaks up
their scent.Copy !req
511. Then what?Copy !req
512. Then I cool it
toward pomade, and...Copy !req
513. and then I filter it, before...Copy !req
514. Before what?Copy !req
515. Before adding alcohol and other essences
to make perfume.Copy !req
516. Don't touch anything!Copy !req
517. What's in there?Copy !req
518. Nothing, just flowers.Copy !req
519. - Can I look?
- No.Copy !req
520. Not now, I've got work to do.
You must go now.Copy !req
521. - Ah, come on, let me look.
- Don't touch!Copy !req
522. - Morning, madame.
- Morning.Copy !req
523. Why do you cover the tank?Copy !req
524. It's an experiment, madame, to...Copy !req
525. to... protect the blossoms
from daylight,Copy !req
526. to preserve the scent better.Copy !req
527. Well, if you say so.Copy !req
528. Come with me.
I'll settle your master's account.Copy !req
529. To preserve their scent better, you say?Copy !req
530. I don't smell much.Copy !req
531. No. Then my experiment
was a failure.Copy !req
532. Make sure it's your time
you're wasting, not ours.Copy !req
533. How much must I pay?Copy !req
534. To be with you.Copy !req
535. Depends what you want.Copy !req
536. What's that stuff?Copy !req
537. I'm creating a perfume.Copy !req
538. Lie down, please.Copy !req
539. They feels horrible.Copy !req
540. It's only animal fat.
To soak up your scent.Copy !req
541. Creating a perfume, mate?Copy !req
542. Come on, admit it.Copy !req
543. You're getting some sorta
bang out of this, aren't you?Copy !req
544. Aren't you?Copy !req
545. I enjoy my work.Copy !req
546. Keep your arm still.Copy !req
547. Don't think you're
gonna tie me up.Copy !req
548. Hold out your arm, please.Copy !req
549. I've come across
some strange men in my time...Copy !req
550. Just... relax!Copy !req
551. Holy Mother! What's that?Copy !req
552. - Just scraping off the fat.
- Are you mad?Copy !req
553. I said relax!
You'll ruin everything.Copy !req
554. Your frighten just stink,
your perfume will be spoiled.Copy !req
555. I've had enough!Copy !req
556. Get out!
Here, take your money!Copy !req
557. Baste me with all these goo.
What do you think I am? A Christmas goose?Copy !req
558. Get out of here!Copy !req
559. Quickly! Blow them out
before the roses melt.Copy !req
560. - Roses can't melt, papa.
- These ones can.Copy !req
561. Now I'd like to propose a toast
to our guest of honor...Copy !req
562. His Excellency, the Marquis de Montesquieu.Copy !req
563. May our trade continue to flourish!Copy !req
564. I thank you all...Copy !req
565. and will ask of you the honor
to be the first to...Copy !req
566. offer my congratulations
to your beautiful daughter.Copy !req
567. And present her with
a small token of my affection.Copy !req
568. - I'm overwhelmed, Your Grace.
- Your Grace?Copy !req
569. I had hoped that it would be
on more familiar terms by now.Copy !req
570. - Let's have a game of hide-and-seek!
- Oh, yes! But everyone must play.Copy !req
571. Men catch the women.Copy !req
572. Bravo! Bravo!Copy !req
573. Albine, wait!Copy !req
574. No!Copy !req
575. Put me down, please!Copy !req
576. Now there's no escape.Copy !req
577. Game's over, everybody!Copy !req
578. Laura!Copy !req
579. Time to go in now!Copy !req
580. Laura.Copy !req
581. Albine! Francoise!Copy !req
582. Laura, have you seen the twins?Copy !req
583. No, not since the game started.Copy !req
584. Albine. Francoise.Copy !req
585. - Albine! Francoise!
- Jacques, take this way.Copy !req
586. You two, go with me.Copy !req
587. Your Excellency, through here.Copy !req
588. I've told that cretin ten times
to get these ready.Copy !req
589. Don't keep picking on the boy.Copy !req
590. I'll kill the useless little sewer rat!Copy !req
591. Grenouille! What are you doing?Copy !req
592. Why aren't the enfleurage frames...Copy !req
593. - Yes, master?
- I mean...Copy !req
594. would you be good enough to prepare
the enfleurage frames, Jean-Baptiste?Copy !req
595. Certainly, master.Copy !req
596. Hey, look!Copy !req
597. Sweet... There!Copy !req
598. A curfew? Are you mad?Copy !req
599. Jasmine can only be picked
before dawn. We all know that!Copy !req
600. This could mean the ruin
of our trade!Copy !req
601. Yours! And yours, and yours!Copy !req
602. Supposing it's your daughter
next time?Copy !req
603. Of course, a curfew is necessary.Copy !req
604. But we also have to catch this man.Copy !req
605. And the only way to do that
is to understand how he thinks!Copy !req
606. - What he wants!
- I should've thought that was obvious.Copy !req
607. Use your imagination!Copy !req
608. And if I were to tell you
that all except the prostitute...Copy !req
609. went to their graves
with their chastity intact?Copy !req
610. - How would you know?
- The coroner had each girl examined.Copy !req
611. They were all found
to be virgins.Copy !req
612. Supposing there isn't
a next time...Copy !req
613. if we introduce a curfew,
we may all go bankrupt for nothing.Copy !req
614. So we wait until he's killed what...
Six? Seven? Eight?Copy !req
615. Curfew! Go back to your homes!Copy !req
616. - What's happening?
- It's a curfew. Back to your home.Copy !req
617. Gentlemen! Gentlemen!Copy !req
618. We have to face the fact
that our police are helpless in this matter.Copy !req
619. - I suggest that we ask for support from Paris.
- Paris won't be smarter than we are.Copy !req
620. Arrest every Gypsy and beggar!
And every man without a wife and family!Copy !req
621. Listen!Copy !req
622. We have to put ourselves
inside the mind of this man.Copy !req
623. Each of his victims
had an especial beauty.Copy !req
624. We know he doesn't want
their virginity.Copy !req
625. So, it seems to me
that it's that beauty itself...Copy !req
626. that he wants. It's almost as if...Copy !req
627. as if he's trying
to gather something.Copy !req
628. His ambitions of those
of a collector.Copy !req
629. - A collector of what?
- Their hair?Copy !req
630. Get out! Get out!Copy !req
631. Whatever it is...Copy !req
632. I fear he won't stop killing
until his collection is complete.Copy !req
633. Here you are! Next!Copy !req
634. You too!Copy !req
635. Monsieur?Copy !req
636. This man... this man is a demon!Copy !req
637. A phantom who cannot be fought
by human means!Copy !req
638. Now I insist that we call upon
our bishop to excommunicate him!Copy !req
639. What good would that do?Copy !req
640. Have you no faith in the power
of our Holy Mother Church?Copy !req
641. It's not a matter of faith!
There's a murderer out there!Copy !req
642. And we must catch him
by using our God-given wits.Copy !req
643. I say, until we submit him
to our church...Copy !req
644. these killings will not cease.Copy !req
645. Citizens of Grasse...Copy !req
646. we hereby declare
that this murderer...Copy !req
647. is demon in our midst.Copy !req
648. Has incurred the sentence
of excommunication!Copy !req
649. Not only has this depraved monster
robbed us of our daughters...Copy !req
650. the young and fair
blossom of the city...Copy !req
651. and by his wanton acts,
has brought our trade...Copy !req
652. our livelihood,
our very existence...Copy !req
653. to the brink
of eternal darkness!Copy !req
654. We therefore declare,
that this vile viper...Copy !req
655. this ignominious carbuncle,
this extricable evil in our midsts...Copy !req
656. shall henceforth be solemnly
banned from our Holy Presence...Copy !req
657. rejected from the Communion
of Holy Mother Church...Copy !req
658. as a disciple of Satan.Copy !req
659. Slayer of souls...Copy !req
660. Stand clear! Stand clear!Copy !req
661. outsider of the faith...Copy !req
662. a necromancer, a diabolist,
a sorcerer...Copy !req
663. a damned heretic!Copy !req
664. Oh, God! In thy most
merciful spirit,Copy !req
665. bring down thunderbolts
upon his head!Copy !req
666. And may the Devil make stope
of his bones! Amen!Copy !req
667. My Lord! My Lord!Copy !req
668. It's a miracle!Copy !req
669. He's been caught! He's been caught!Copy !req
670. My Lord, the fiend
has been caught.Copy !req
671. In the city of Grenoble.
He's confessed to everything.Copy !req
672. He's confessed to everything!Copy !req
673. Hallelujah! Hallelujah!Copy !req
674. Thanks be to God. And we thank him
for listening to our prayers...Copy !req
675. and answering them. Amen!Copy !req
676. Amen! Amen!Copy !req
677. Just read the report. This cannot
possibly be the same man.Copy !req
678. He confessed to everything,
including the murders in Grasse.Copy !req
679. Yes, and the torture.Copy !req
680. Look, here!Copy !req
681. He admits to strangling his victims...Copy !req
682. pulling out their hair,
and ravaging them.Copy !req
683. The girls of Grasse were killed
by a single blow to the back of their heads.Copy !req
684. Their hair was carefully cropped.
And not one of them was violated.Copy !req
685. Antoine...Copy !req
686. we're all happy it's over.Copy !req
687. Let it go.Copy !req
688. - Papa, what's the matter?
- We're going home, now!Copy !req
689. - But why? I'm enjoying myself!
- Don't argue with me!Copy !req
690. Stop it! I'm grown-up...Copy !req
691. Laura!Copy !req
692. Out of my way!Copy !req
693. Laura!Copy !req
694. - Laura!
- Papa!Copy !req
695. I'm so sorry.Copy !req
696. I know you must think me
a very foolish man.Copy !req
697. But try to understand.Copy !req
698. - You're all I have left.
- You don't need to explain, papa.Copy !req
699. - If anything would happen to you...
- I know.Copy !req
700. But you must stop worrying
about me all the time.Copy !req
701. Sweet dreams, my love.Copy !req
702. Sweet dreams, papa.Copy !req
703. Laura!Copy !req
704. Papa, what's the matter?Copy !req
705. Did you open the window?Copy !req
706. No. Why?Copy !req
707. Have this letter dispatched to
the Marquis de Montesquieu immediately.Copy !req
708. Marie, quickly!Copy !req
709. Stay on the road north,
into the mountains.Copy !req
710. - Did Monsieur Richis leave?
- He did.Copy !req
711. Which way?Copy !req
712. North.Copy !req
713. - You sure it wasn't south?
- I saw them with my own eyes!Copy !req
714. What do you want to know?Copy !req
715. I said north, north!Copy !req
716. Grenouille?Copy !req
717. Grenouille!Copy !req
718. Good God!Copy !req
719. - Good afternoon, monsieur.
- Good afternoon.Copy !req
720. Do you have anyone
else staying here?Copy !req
721. No, monsieur.Copy !req
722. Then I would like to take
all your rooms for the night.Copy !req
723. It will be a pleasure, monsieur.Copy !req
724. And tomorrow, first light,
we wish to be ferried to the Iles de Larins.Copy !req
725. - It's deserted except for a few...
- I'm aware of that.Copy !req
726. Very well, monsieur.Copy !req
727. Our finest room, mademoiselle.Copy !req
728. With the superb view of the sea.Copy !req
729. One moment.Copy !req
730. Very well.Copy !req
731. - Do you have a room next to this?
- Yes, but the view cannot be compared to...Copy !req
732. There have no interest
in the view.Copy !req
733. Oh, my God...Copy !req
734. Monsieur.Copy !req
735. Papa, will you please
tell me now what's happening.Copy !req
736. You haven't said a word all day.Copy !req
737. Why all the secrecy?Copy !req
738. Last night, I dreamt
you were dead...Copy !req
739. murdered
like all the other girls.Copy !req
740. The truth is I'm convinced that
the killer is still here somewhere.Copy !req
741. All of his victims were young and beautiful,
and who is there more beautiful than you, Laura?Copy !req
742. Whatever his insane scheme,
it will surely be incomplete without you.Copy !req
743. I've written to the Marquis accepting
his proposal and marriage on your behalf,Copy !req
744. and requesting that it take place
as soon as possible.Copy !req
745. Until then, you stay
in the safety of the monastery.Copy !req
746. - And all this, because you had a bad dream?
- I've made my decision.Copy !req
747. - But I don't know whether I even love him!
- I'm afraid the circumstances leave us no choice.Copy !req
748. - Papa!
- It's all arranged, Laura.Copy !req
749. On your feet!Copy !req
750. Hands in the air!Copy !req
751. Why did you kill my daughter?Copy !req
752. Why?Copy !req
753. I needed her.Copy !req
754. Why did you kill my daughter?Copy !req
755. I just...Copy !req
756. needed her.Copy !req
757. Very well.Copy !req
758. But you remember this:Copy !req
759. I'll be looking at you...Copy !req
760. when you're laid on the cross,Copy !req
761. and the twelve blows are
crashing down on your limbs.Copy !req
762. When the crowd is finally tired
of your screams and wandered home...Copy !req
763. I will climb up
through your blood...Copy !req
764. and sit beside you.Copy !req
765. I will look deep
into your eyes...Copy !req
766. and drop by drop...Copy !req
767. I will trickle my disgust into them...Copy !req
768. like burning acid...Copy !req
769. until...Copy !req
770. finally...Copy !req
771. you perish.Copy !req
772. What do you think
they'll do to him?Copy !req
773. Apparently, they're gonna break
every bone in his body with an iron bar.Copy !req
774. Look, there he comes!Copy !req
775. Unchain the prisoner.Copy !req
776. That's enough.Copy !req
777. Let him be brought
to the scaffold.Copy !req
778. What's that?Copy !req
779. Is he coming? What's his name?Copy !req
780. This man is innocent.Copy !req
781. - He didn't do it. It's impossible!
- He's innocent!Copy !req
782. He's innocent!Copy !req
783. This is no man!
This is an angel!Copy !req
784. You can't fool me!Copy !req
785. Forgive me!Copy !req
786. My son!Copy !req
787. People of Grasse
awoke to a terrible hangover.Copy !req
788. For many of them, the experience
was so gusty, so completely inexplicable...Copy !req
789. and incompatible with their morals,
that they literally erased it from their memories.Copy !req
790. The town council
was in session by the afternoon.Copy !req
791. And an order was passed to the police lieutenant
to immediately begin fresh investigations into the murders.Copy !req
792. The following day, Dominique Druot
was arrested.Copy !req
793. Since it was in his backyard that the clothes
and hair of all the victims had been found.Copy !req
794. After fourteen hours of torture,
Druot confessed to everything.Copy !req
795. With that, the case was closed.Copy !req
796. By then, Grenouille was already
halfway back to Paris.Copy !req
797. He still had enough perfume left
to enslave the whole world, if he so chose.Copy !req
798. He could walk to Versailles,
and have the King kiss his feet.Copy !req
799. He could write the Pope a perfumed letter,
and reveal himself as a new Messiah.Copy !req
800. He could do all this,
and more if he wanted to.Copy !req
801. He possessed a power stronger
than the power of money, or terror, or death.Copy !req
802. The invincible power
to command the love of mankind.Copy !req
803. There was only one thing
the perfume could not do.Copy !req
804. It could not turn him into a person
who could love and be loved like everyone else.Copy !req
805. So, to hell with it, he thought.
To hell with the world.Copy !req
806. With the perfume, with himself.Copy !req
807. On the 25th of June, 1766,
around 11 o'clock at night,Copy !req
808. Grenouille entered the city
through the port-de-Leones.Copy !req
809. And like a sleepwalker, his olfactory memories
drew him back to the place where he was born.Copy !req
810. An angel!Copy !req
811. I love you!Copy !req
812. Within no time, Jean-Baptiste Grenouille
had disappeared from the face of the earth.Copy !req
813. When they had finished,
they felt a virginal glow of happiness.Copy !req
814. For the first time in their lives,
they believed that they had done something...Copy !req
815. purely out of love.Copy !req
816. Hey, over here!Copy !req
817. Look!Copy !req
818. Let's take them away.Copy !req
819. You could wear them.Copy !req
