1
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:49,555
Go!

2
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:54,229
Go!

3
00:00:58,200 --> 00:00:59,269
What's that?

4
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,109
It's a man!

5
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,071
- What? Is he dead?
- No, sir.

6
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:05,872
He's writing!

7
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,075
Repeat!

8
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:08,630
He's writing,

9
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,519
sir, he's writing in a notebook!

10
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,672
That man was not mad.
He was working

11
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,469
with shrapnel whistling round him
because he couldn't wait.

12
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,280
The contents of that notebook
were too important

13
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:22,998
to write it down later.

14
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,799
He had to do it
when his mind dictated,

15
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:28,428
he couldn't put it off
a single second.

16
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,831
What was so important that
he would risk his life for it?

17
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,238
What was he writing that
stopped him from standing up

18
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,152
and running, like any other man
would have done?

19
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,671
The "Tractatus
Logico-philosophicus",

20
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,589
the most influential philosophical
work of the twentieth century.

21
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,032
That soldier was called
Ludwig Wittgenstein,

22
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,760
the man who set the limits
on our thoughts.

23
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,274
The enigma that
he tried to decipher

24
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,148
was the following:

25
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,594
Can we know the truth?

26
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,152
All the great thinkers
throughout history

27
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:15,992
have sought a single certainty,

28
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:17,991
something which
no one can refute,

29
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,549
like "two and two make four".

30
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:23,471
In order to find that truth,

31
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:25,471
Wittgenstein used, in fact,

32
00:02:25,640 --> 00:02:29,792
mathematical logic. What better
means of obtaining a certainty

33
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,350
than an immutable language,
free from the passions of men?

34
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,634
He advanced slowly,
using equation after equation,

35
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,439
with impeccable method,
until he reached

36
00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:43,358
a terrifying conclusion.

37
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,628
There is no such truth

38
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,075
outside of mathematics.

39
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,158
There is no way of finding

40
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,595
a single absolute truth,

41
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,557
an irrefutable argument

42
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,917
which might help answer
the questions of mankind.

43
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,392
Philosophy,
therefore, is dead.

44
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,714
Because "Whereof we cannot speak,

45
00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:13,154
thereof we must be silent."

46
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,438
Don't touch that, please.

47
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,393
This is an Enigma machine!

48
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,916
Just a copy. The original's in
the Imperial War Museum in London.

49
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,870
Sorry to sneak in like that...
The door was open.

50
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,589
Of course it was open. You surely
didn't expect me to get up

51
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,239
and let you in
on these legs, did you?

52
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:50,635
I'm...

53
00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:56,392
Martin, our new overseas
student lodger, I presume.

54
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,790
- This man in the photo with you...
- Yes.

55
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:01,951
That's Turing, Alan Turing,

56
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,835
the man who deciphered
the Enigma code.

57
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,992
Thanks to him, we won the war.

58
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,196
Poor man died
such a strange death...

59
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,992
a poisoned apple, like Snow White.

60
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,519
And the one on the left?

61
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,591
My husband, Harry.

62
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,797
Harry Eagleton. He developed the
concept of fractional dimensions...

63
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,997
He deserved a bloody Nobel prize,
but he hated sucking up

64
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,549
to politicians.
Politicians or anybody.

65
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:28,994
He never had many friends.

66
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,195
He had one at least.
Arthur Seldom.

67
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,430
Poor boy. He spent day

68
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,273
after day in the house,
tidying Harry's papers.

69
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,955
He'd go without lunch or dinner,
going over the equations.

70
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,275
Eagleton tutored his doctoral thesis
on the logical series. In 1960,

71
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,318
- wasn't it?
- I see you've done your homework.

72
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,949
I know everything there is
to know about Arthur Seldom.

73
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,315
In fact, Mrs. Eagleton,
it's because of him that I'm here.

74
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:54,993
In Oxford, I mean.

75
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,593
I know what you mean.
Seldom is... unique.

76
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,238
Every prize,
every acknowledgement

77
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,598
he's received over the years
has been a real joy for me.

78
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,516
Careful, mother, or
your secret will be discovered.

79
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:09,715
What secret?

80
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,472
After daddy died,
you tried to marry him.

81
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,473
How dare you!
That's not true.

82
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:15,914
He's always been
like a brother to me.

83
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,957
Only because there was no chance
of him being anything else.

84
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,155
Beth!

85
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,991
There's no doubt
Professor Seldom is a genius,

86
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,276
but there's one area
he's no different from other men.

87
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:26,753
He likes young girls.

88
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,515
Beth, darling, couldn't you stop
being so spiteful just for a second?

89
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:31,795
Sorry, mother.

90
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,673
Take no notice of us.
We're like two bitter old spinsters.

91
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,911
Thank you, mother, for tarring me
with the same brush.

92
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:40,830
I'm sorry,

93
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,115
you are?

94
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,914
I sent a fax a few weeks ago,
about renting a room.

95
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:46,718
Ah, our overseas student.

96
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,518
Why don't you
show him to his room?

97
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:52,833
If I'd known,
I'd have rented a tux.

98
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:54,474
You look stunning.

99
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,915
My daughter has
a concert tonight. That's all.

100
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:58,276
A concert?

101
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,715
I play the cello
in the Sheldonian.

102
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,996
- It's the local amateur orchestra.
- Yes.

103
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,435
We're not quite
the London Symphony.

104
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:06,715
I... I love the cello.

105
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,077
Me too. Maybe it's because
it's all I get to cuddle

106
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:11,309
- these days.
- Beth.

107
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:12,833
Please.
You'll scare the young man.

108
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:13,955
Mother.

109
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,191
My daughter's suitors
tend not to be

110
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:17,679
around very long.

111
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:18,989
Difficult character, you know.

112
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,393
Having an old lady hovering in the
doorway doesn't exactly help either.

113
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,915
Are you calling me a busybody?

114
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,389
No, mother. You just want
to protect me, don't you?

115
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,035
Of course.

116
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:30,429
My mother has this theory

117
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,716
that unless a man lived
through the Second World War

118
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,313
he's not to be trusted.

119
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:35,196
My daughter

120
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:36,395
thinks I've gone a bit

121
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:37,788
gaga, but she knows

122
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:38,756
I'm right.

123
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,351
The Nazis changed the wheels

124
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,432
on that damned machine
every bloody day,

125
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,990
that altered the code, and we
had to decipher it all over again.

126
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,631
There were no computers
in those days,

127
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,429
calculations were done by hand.

128
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:55,839
You must have been very young.

129
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,149
Time for me to go.

130
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,519
Fancy a game of Scrabble?

131
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,515
Well, this is your study.

132
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,757
I trust you'll be comfortable.

133
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:18,955
It's perfect.

134
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,588
You should also be thinking
of a supervisor

135
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:22,749
for your thesis.

136
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,832
I've had one in mind
for a long time; Arthur Seldom.

137
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:30,955
Your parents?

138
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,109
Yeah.

139
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,875
Very American.
Is it close to the beach?

140
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,794
Not at all.
It's the desert, Arizona.

141
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,513
It actually happens to be my home.

142
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,675
Really? Lovely.

143
00:08:45,560 --> 00:08:46,629
Anyway...

144
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,193
all the studies are shared.

145
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,790
Your colleague is
also an overseas student.

146
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,518
I'm sure we'll get on fine.

147
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:53,950
By the way,

148
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,079
I think you'll find Professor Seldom
only works as a researcher now.

149
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,473
I know, but the college told me that
he could supervise my doctorate.

150
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,039
Who told you that?

151
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,118
I've got a fax...

152
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:06,031
here.

153
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:09,755
I see.

154
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,518
I'm sorry to say Mrs. Keeman

155
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,711
was being rather over-optimistic.
Also,

156
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,029
she no longer works here.

157
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,430
But there must be some way,
perhaps if I speak to him...

158
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:20,954
You're free to talk
to whoever you want,

159
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,908
of course, but I must
warn you Professor Seldom

160
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,833
is not one for
this sort of spontaneity.

161
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,558
If you take my advice,

162
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,632
I suggest you approach your studies
in a more realistic way.

163
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,678
I'm sure you'll find some excellent
tutors among our teaching staff

164
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,918
who will more than understand
the nature of your work.

165
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,751
- Don't take it out on the wall.
- Walls?

166
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,635
Don't talk to me about walls. That's
all you get in this fucking city.

167
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,556
Sorry, just letting off
a little steam.

168
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,473
Well, at least they come in
handy for doing your homework.

169
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,593
These? I was just trying to save
myself 16 years of practice.

170
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,638
See, I'm trying to calculate
where I need to run,

171
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,069
depending on where
the ball bounces,

172
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:20,832
and what height it makes contact

173
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:21,637
with my racquet.

174
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,271
Makes it easier. Here.

175
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,393
See? It works.

176
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,597
Yeah, and what would happen
if you played against a person?

177
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:38,993
There would be more variables

178
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,112
but it would still be possible
to work out the trajectory.

179
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:44,835
Please.

180
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:21,874
Give me time.

181
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,590
I have to rethink my calculations.

182
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:27,355
Okay.

183
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:40,755
Thanks for the beating.

184
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:42,833
Do you want to continue
letting off steam

185
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,353
on your own
or do you prefer company?

186
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:47,878
Wednesday, same time?

187
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,669
Yes. Bring a proper squash racquet.
Makes life much easier.

188
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:53,715
Okay.

189
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,237
I see you're picking up
the local customs very quickly.

190
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:08,674
I try my best.

191
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,637
Maybe she can help you
with your doctoral thesis,

192
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,995
since uncle Arthur
is out of the question.

193
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:14,753
- Can nothing be done?
- No.

194
00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:18,074
And if you're suggesting my mother
have a word with him, forget it.

195
00:12:18,680 --> 00:12:19,954
I wasn't suggesting anything.

196
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,478
Do you really expect me to believe
you chose this house by chance?

197
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,351
No, not by chance, no.

198
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:27,909
Nothing happens by chance.

199
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,718
I wanted to meet
your mother, that's true,

200
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,717
but I never planned to use her.

201
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,518
There's no need to apologize.

202
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,236
I like people who
go for what they want.

203
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:37,799
I wish I was more like you.

204
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,231
You're not missing much,
I assure you.

205
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:41,628
Oh, really?

206
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,109
You come here from another country,
all on your own,

207
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,510
and no sooner do you get here
than you make friends with a girl.

208
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,429
With two, I hope.
At least that's what I thought

209
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,955
- until a moment ago.
- It's not just that.

210
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:53,509
You're happy,

211
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,073
you only have to look at
your face to see that.

212
00:12:56,560 --> 00:12:57,675
I try to be.

213
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:58,955
How do you do it?

214
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:01,155
It's easy.

215
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:02,514
It's a case of going
with the flow.

216
00:13:02,680 --> 00:13:04,193
And what if it goes badly?

217
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,071
I'd rather make mistakes
than do nothing.

218
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,789
I'd rather mess up
than miss out completely.

219
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:14,789
It works for me.

220
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:16,714
You should try it.

221
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:29,475
Just a minute!

222
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:34,838
I thought you might
find this interesting.

223
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,718
Seldom is giving a lecture
on his latest book

224
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,632
at Merton College on the 24th!

225
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,279
There's your big chance!

226
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,794
There is no way
of finding a single

227
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,316
absolute truth, an irrefutable
argument that might help to answer

228
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,357
the questions of mankind.

229
00:13:51,560 --> 00:13:54,358
Philosophy,
therefore, is dead.

230
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,838
Because "Whereof we cannot speak,

231
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,393
thereof we must be silent."

232
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,117
Oh, it seems that
someone does wish to speak.

233
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,193
It appears you are not
in agreement with Wittgenstein.

234
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,469
That means either you have found
a contradiction in the arguments

235
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,315
of the Tractatus, or you have an
absolute truth to share with us all.

236
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,630
I believe in the number Pi.

237
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,394
I'm sorry,
I didn't understand you.

238
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,073
What was it
you said you believed in?

239
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,392
In the number Pi, in the Golden
Section, the Fibonacci Series.

240
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,028
The essence of nature
is mathematical.

241
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,271
There is a hidden meaning
beneath reality.

242
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,275
Things are organized following
a model, a scheme, a logical series.

243
00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,434
Even the tiny snowflake

244
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,433
includes a numerical basis
in its structure. Therefore,

245
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,956
if we manage to discover
the secret meaning of numbers,

246
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,475
we will know
the secret meaning of reality.

247
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:17,315
Impressive!

248
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:19,913
Translating his words into

249
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,195
the Queen's English,

250
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,514
we find ourselves
faced with a fresh,

251
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,757
rousing defence of mathematics,
as if numbers

252
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,309
were pre-existing ideas in reality.

253
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,915
Anyway, this is nothing new.

254
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,233
Since man is incapable
of reconciling mind and matter,

255
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,551
he tends to confer
some sort of entity on ideas,

256
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,917
because he cannot bear the notion
that the purely abstract

257
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,548
only exists in our brain.

258
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,555
The beauty and harmony
of a snowflake.

259
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,195
How sweet!

260
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:58,475
The butterfly

261
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,119
that flutters its wings

262
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,158
and causes a hurricane
on the other side of the world.

263
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,154
We've been hearing about
that damn butterfly for decades,

264
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:10,279
but who has been able
to predict a single hurricane?

265
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:17,439
Nobody!

266
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:23,509
Tell me something...

267
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,995
Where is the beauty
and harmony in cancer?

268
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,637
What makes a cell

269
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,189
suddenly decide to turn itself
into a killer metastasis

270
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,716
and destroy the rest of
the cells in a healthy body?

271
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:39,668
Does anyone know?

272
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:43,475
No.

273
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,595
Because we'd rather think
of snowflakes

274
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,830
and butterflies than of pain,

275
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:50,788
war

276
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:52,992
or that book.

277
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:55,394
Why?

278
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,834
Because we need to think
that life has meaning,

279
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,033
that everything
is governed by logic

280
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,236
and not by mere chance.

281
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:10,796
If I write 2 then 4 then 6,
then we feel good, because we know

282
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,518
that next comes 8.

283
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,079
We can foresee it,

284
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,477
we are not in the hands

285
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:17,834
of destiny.

286
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,231
Unfortunately, however,

287
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,632
this has nothing to do with truth.

288
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,399
Don't you agree?

289
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:32,070
This...

290
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,039
is only fear.

291
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,354
Sad...

292
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:43,548
but there you go.

293
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:55,196
You must

294
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:56,998
be Martin.

295
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:58,958
At last we meet.

296
00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:01,715
But, I don't get it,
are you leaving?

297
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,917
Yes, I'm leaving. It was a mistake.
It was all a big mistake.

298
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,989
Things have not turned out
as you expected, I guess.

299
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,549
No, they haven't.
You bet they haven't.

300
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:13,872
I hope the hastiness
of your decision

301
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:15,029
has nothing to do with

302
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,110
Professor Seldom.

303
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,038
News travels fast in Oxford.

304
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,998
We are a little village of gossips.

305
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,952
Anyway, I think you are wrong
about the great sage.

306
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,676
He was the best in his day, but...

307
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,752
now he just wants to sell books.
Like those assholes.

308
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,194
A real Seldom fan, eh?

309
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,471
I have a framed photo
of him in my room.

310
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:37,868
So he refused you too?

311
00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:42,396
I would rather jump out of
a window than ask him for help.

312
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,597
I want nothing to do
with him or his books.

313
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,597
I prefer the Reader's Digest.

314
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:19,876
Taxi!

315
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:39,037
Hello.

316
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,038
Ah, we've got
the book you wanted!

317
00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:46,235
There.

318
00:21:26,120 --> 00:21:27,473
Fucking hell!

319
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,234
What are you doing here?

320
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,034
I live here.
What's your excuse?

321
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,391
I came to visit an old friend.

322
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:37,793
I'm sorry about before.

323
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,632
No, don't apologize.
I talked a lot of rubbish.

324
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,199
I tend to overact
when I have an audience.

325
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,158
The truth is I just wanted
to attract your attention.

326
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:45,994
You succeeded.

327
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:56,239
September the 24th,

328
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,960
1993. Inspector Petersen,
Oxford police station.

329
00:21:59,120 --> 00:22:02,351
Investigating the murder
of Mrs. Julia Eagleton.

330
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,918
According to this report,
you and Professor Arthur Seldom

331
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,833
discovered the body...
at the same time.

332
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,910
Yes, we entered
the room together.

333
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,034
Are you one of
Professor Seldom's students?

334
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:16,555
No.

335
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,716
- Do you work for him?
- No.

336
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,110
Can you explain
why you were there together?

337
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:23,269
No.

338
00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:26,758
To tell you the truth, I can't.

339
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:28,959
I was also surprised
to see him there.

340
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,435
So it was pure coincidence?

341
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,909
Everything seems to point
to that being the case.

342
00:22:37,120 --> 00:22:41,398
And was this the first time
you'd seen Professor Seldom?

343
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,075
Not exactly. I was at
a conference he gave this morning.

344
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:47,673
I asked him a few questions.

345
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,309
What sort of questions?

346
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:50,869
Mathematical ones.

347
00:22:59,960 --> 00:23:01,871
It's not by chance that I went

348
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,393
to Mrs. Eagleton's house
this afternoon.

349
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,230
I went there because
the murderer told me to.

350
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:07,913
The murderer warned you?

351
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,597
Yes, I received a note
during the conference.

352
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,273
What did it say?

353
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:14,908
Just one sentence:

354
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,033
"The first of the series,"

355
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,074
written in capital letters.
Underneath,

356
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,351
Mrs. Eagleton's address

357
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,074
and the time.

358
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:25,833
Can we see it?

359
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:27,670
No.

360
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:29,309
Why?

361
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:31,549
I threw it away.

362
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,076
You threw away
a vital piece of evidence?

363
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,475
Yes, well, let me explain.

364
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,152
After the conference,

365
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,232
I signed a number of copies.
When I'd finished, I set off home.

366
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,273
And that is when I realized
that the address on the note

367
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:51,759
was familiar

368
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,118
but honestly, I...

369
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:58,398
it just never occurred to me that
anything like this could happen.

370
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,350
Of course, when I got there,
it was too late.

371
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:15,874
We should call the police.

372
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,115
You're right.

373
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:19,709
Call them.

374
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:23,799
999.

375
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:24,915
Hello,

376
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,071
I'm calling to report a death.

377
00:24:28,120 --> 00:24:29,678
3 Cunliffe Close.

378
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:32,709
It's an old woman.

379
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:34,875
Thank you.

380
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:37,754
What do you think happened?

381
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:39,315
I don't know.

382
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,269
We should wait outside.
We'd better not touch anything.

383
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:43,953
I shouldn't have
even used this phone.

384
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,317
Try to etch on your memory
everything you can see.

385
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,516
This moment is crucial.

386
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,831
She was playing Scrabble
when it happened.

387
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,195
Was she playing on her own?

388
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,353
Yes, she has both
the letter racks on her side.

389
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,353
You don't think she's been killed?

390
00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:01,638
I can't see any other alternative.

391
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,670
Whoever did this obviously
intended to smother her

392
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,029
with the cushion
while she was sleeping.

393
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:10,838
She wakes up, puts up a struggle,

394
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,548
he presses down harder,
using both hands perhaps,

395
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,075
breaks her nose, hence the blood.

396
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:17,959
Or it could have been a woman,

397
00:25:18,120 --> 00:25:20,475
using her knee
to add extra pressure.

398
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,795
When the killer removes
the cushion, sees the blood,

399
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:25,473
he drops it on the carpet
and doesn't even bother

400
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,198
to put anything back in its place.

401
00:25:27,360 --> 00:25:28,713
Scared, probably.

402
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:32,070
In the book

403
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,312
that I based my conference on,
I unfortunately

404
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,116
compare logical series
with serial murders.

405
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,750
And since its publication
I've received

406
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,433
dozens of totally absurd letters,

407
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,192
which is why I attached
little importance to this one.

408
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,551
And you're sure you destroyed it?

409
00:25:48,360 --> 00:25:51,318
Well, no, I threw it away
in the street.

410
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:52,469
Where?

411
00:25:55,360 --> 00:25:57,078
Well, somewhere near
the Sheldonian Theatre.

412
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,993
Scott, get on to it,
it might still be there.

413
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:01,718
The road sweepers
will have passed through by now.

414
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,952
It doesn't matter. We'll search
the dust carts, if necessary.

415
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:09,269
Now is there anything else? Anything
else that caught your attention?

416
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,954
Oh, uh, under the text

417
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,711
there was a hand-drawn circle,

418
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:17,473
a perfect circle,

419
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,512
also in black.

420
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:23,268
About...

421
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,632
this size,

422
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:30,635
approximately.

423
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:33,675
A circle?

424
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:35,635
Like a signature?

425
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,910
Oh no, I'm almost convinced
it was a symbol,

426
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:39,957
the first element
of a logical series.

427
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:42,997
Well, excuse my ignorance,

428
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,873
I must have been off school
the day they taught

429
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:47,189
logical series.

430
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,114
A logical series

431
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:50,838
is a group of elements
that succeed one another,

432
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:52,268
following a particular rule.

433
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:53,509
Could be 1, 2, 3, 4...

434
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,989
or even numbers, 2, 4, 6, 8...

435
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,234
Or of course it could be
the Fibonacci series.

436
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,079
Fibonacci?

437
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:02,639
A 12th-century mathematician.

438
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:07,112
Each element is the sum of the two
previous ones: 1, 1, 2, 3, 6,

439
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,840
- 8, 13...
- Look, I still don't see

440
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,833
the relationship between
the murder and these series.

441
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,310
I'm sorry. In my book I sustain
the theory that the murder committed

442
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,512
for intellectual reasons
does not exist in the real world.

443
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,432
In general, the patterns
followed by a serial killer

444
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,990
are crude, monotonous
and repetitive,

445
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,311
cases that can be analyzed
psychologically, not logically.

446
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,995
So you think the murderer is
killing to prove something to you?

447
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,713
Yes, sadly, I believe
that to be the case.

448
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:39,639
Murderer wants to prove me wrong.

449
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,518
He wants to show that
he's more intelligent than I am

450
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,033
and that he can beat me

451
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,192
at my own game.
Somehow he knew of my friendship

452
00:27:46,360 --> 00:27:49,716
with Mrs. Eagleton,
and decided to begin there.

453
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,314
How about this circle?
How do you explain this?

454
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,034
Oh, a circle's a good way
to start a logical series.

455
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:56,713
There's no symbol
more indeterminate.

456
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,399
Could mean almost anything.

457
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,348
So you mean there's gonna be
another murder after this one?

458
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:03,874
I'm afraid so.

459
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,598
And if we don't
discover it in time,

460
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,558
could be many more.

461
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,312
Okay, we are going to change

462
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,835
some notes please in part 12.

463
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,508
We knew she was going
to die at any time,

464
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:18,873
but never like this.

465
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,118
The doctors gave her 6 months
to live, 6 years ago.

466
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,552
Thanks to Beth's nursing
she had an extra lease of life,

467
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,439
like a blessing from heaven.

468
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,357
Maybe that's why
the murderer chose her.

469
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:32,674
How do you mean?

470
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,349
If he is trying to demonstrate
something purely intellectual,

471
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,829
maybe the deaths in themselves
don't interest him.

472
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,838
Maybe his aim is to inflict
as little harm as possible.

473
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,036
He chose someone
that should have died.

474
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,430
He probably knew Mrs. Eagleton
was receiving treatment...

475
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,795
She went every week
to St Joseph's hospital.

476
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,270
He could have found out about her
illness there, and that made her

477
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,158
the perfect victim for him.

478
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:54,515
Go on.

479
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,352
If he hadn't broken her nose,

480
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,590
it would have looked
like death by natural causes.

481
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:01,836
In that case, only you
would have known what happened.

482
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:03,592
The police would never
have been involved.

483
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,796
It would have been
a private challenge.

484
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,752
A murder that almost isn't a murder.

485
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,512
That makes sense.

486
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,233
What do you think
he would do next?

487
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,036
I suppose he'll try
to be more careful.

488
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,273
He'll commit another murder
that almost isn't a murder.

489
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,154
An imperceptible murder...

490
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:28,109
Excuse me.

491
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,388
Excuse me, officers,
but I need to speak

492
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,198
to Miss Eagleton first,
to break the bad news,

493
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,510
to her, if that's all right.
Thank you.

494
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,319
You have a C,

495
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,199
B flat, and C sharp.

496
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,078
Excuse me, please,
I can talk to him?

497
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,913
Yes, so

498
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:56,399
you have a C, B flat,

499
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:57,879
and C sharp.

500
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,273
Oh, no, no, no. You have a B,
a C sharp, and C natural...

501
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:04,349
Oh, okay,

502
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,478
let's do a break, please.

503
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,195
The police told me that you
were the one who found the body.

504
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:43,952
Forgive me, Beth.
I'm really sorry.

505
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,076
They asked me to try
and remember every detail and...

506
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,073
It's no problem.
I understand.

507
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,077
It must have been difficult
for you to go through all of this.

508
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,071
Two hours of interrogation.

509
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,073
It's logical, though, bearing
in mind I'm the chief suspect.

510
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:01,389
Did they tell you that?

511
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,120
No. No, they didn't have to.

512
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:06,674
You don't need to be
a detective to realize

513
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,592
that I'm the one who
most benefits from all this.

514
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,991
But you looked after her
for years. Seldom told me.

515
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:14,189
Five years...

516
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,309
Five years of waiting
for her to drop dead.

517
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,272
Forgive me for being
so cruelly sincere,

518
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,510
but if anyone wanted this
to end, it was me.

519
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,435
Do you know what it is
to wake up every morning

520
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,068
wondering when you're going
to have a life of your own?

521
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,029
I couldn't abandon her,
she was my mother.

522
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,077
She had cancer but it was supposed
to be a question of months.

523
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,399
You want this person you're supposed
to be looking after to disappear

524
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:44,675
and at the same time you know

525
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,239
there's something evil in you
for thinking that way.

526
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:49,349
You hate yourself

527
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,112
for the thoughts
that go through your head.

528
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,479
It's like being rotten inside.

529
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,108
Beth, you've no need to worry.

530
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:58,194
Seldom got a note.

531
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,669
Someone warned him of
what was going to happen,

532
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,195
- and is threatening to do it again.
- Who?

533
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:04,588
No one knows.

534
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,316
They made me go to the morgue
to look at the body.

535
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,278
Her eyes were still open.

536
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:18,714
Don't think about it.

537
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,715
I don't think I can sleep
upstairs tonight.

538
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,638
Is it okay
if I stay here with you?

539
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:41,668
I'm sorry.

540
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:43,558
Don't be... it's okay.

541
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,437
I don't know what you must
think of me. I'm so embarrassed.

542
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,432
Beth, please. Don't go.

543
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,991
Congratulations! Your name
in the papers and with Seldom!

544
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,958
Knock off the old lady
to attract attention, did you?

545
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:12,678
Not so fast!

546
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,233
Your friend is lucky.

547
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,633
Always close to death,
but never touched by it.

548
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:21,629
Didn't you know?

549
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:23,314
Thirty years ago,
the four of them

550
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,994
- were travelling together.
- What are you talking about?

551
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,550
Mrs. Eagleton's husband
and Seldom's wife were killed.

552
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,478
And guess who was driving.

553
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,149
And now the old lady is dead.

554
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,631
Three down, one to go.

555
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,558
This is Miss Scarlet

556
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,029
and she is in the dining room.
Now we know that the murder

557
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:46,076
took place in the dining room,

558
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,151
don't we? And that the victim
was killed with a cushion,

559
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:49,389
but since we don't have

560
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,710
a cushion, we'll use
the nasty little knife.

561
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:54,350
Now I'll stick

562
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,476
my neck out and say that
Miss Scarlet was the murderer

563
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:58,551
in the living room,
with the knife.

564
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:00,789
What do you think?

565
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,076
Clue didn't figure
into my degree course.

566
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:04,309
Cleudo!

567
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:06,993
It's recommended reading
in police academies.

568
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:09,594
In the papers,

569
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,954
Beth appears as the chief suspect.

570
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:14,473
But the police know all the facts.

571
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,394
Ah, I forgot that I was talking
to the champion of universal logic.

572
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:21,755
Thank you.

573
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,636
You and the police think that it's
possible to demonstrate the truth.

574
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:26,671
On the basis

575
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,796
of certain axioms
and by using valid reasoning,

576
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,434
you can reach a valid conclusion,
isn't that so?

577
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:33,750
As sure as today is Wednesday.

578
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,196
And what if I say,
"All Britons are liars"?

579
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,475
True, false
or impossible to prove?

580
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,468
All right. There are
mathematical formulations

581
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,279
that can neither be proved
nor refuted starting from axioms.

582
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,112
Indeterminable propositions.

583
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,919
Exactly, G�del's
incompleteness theorem.

584
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,435
So, even in your world
of mathematical purity,

585
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,750
there are things
that can never be proven.

586
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,956
Yes, but that is not the case here.

587
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:00,114
There is a gap,

588
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,755
there is a gulf between
what is true and what is provable.

589
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:06,234
We can never be sure

590
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,118
of all the facts about a phenomenon,

591
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,238
and to lack just one, could change
everything. Even if we know

592
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:12,310
that the murder

593
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,232
took place in the dining room
with the knife,

594
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,398
and that Miss Scarlet was there
at the exact moment of the murder,

595
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,630
and that her fingerprints

596
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:21,074
were on the knife,
we can never

597
00:35:21,240 --> 00:35:24,118
affirm with absolute certainty
that she committed the crime.

598
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,750
Oh, come on! It's
99% probable, for fuck's sake!

599
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,877
That's not absolute certainty,
that is an opinion.

600
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:33,678
We could have absolute certainty

601
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:34,955
if we trusted the word
of an eye-witness,

602
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,317
or we saw it with our own eyes.
I trust my own eyes.

603
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:41,114
No comment.

604
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,880
Things are here, under our noses.

605
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,395
These paving stones. They exist!

606
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,152
Or do you refute that
as well? You can't.

607
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,880
Are you sure? Heisenberg
wasn't quite as certain.

608
00:35:51,720 --> 00:35:52,948
The physicist?

609
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,315
Yes, well, he tried to make
an atom bomb for the Nazis,

610
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:56,629
but he wasn't famous for that.

611
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,917
What is this? An exam? Heisenberg's
"uncertainty principle".

612
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,390
Bingo! Miss Scarlet
is now an electron, okay?

613
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,198
And you're looking at her
through a keyhole,

614
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,237
or a particle accelerator,
as you wish.

615
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:08,628
And every time you look at her,

616
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,270
Miss Scarlet will have
changed her appearance or...

617
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:13,750
her position.

618
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:15,752
Because the very fact
that you observe her

619
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,315
alters her atomic state.
How about that?

620
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,278
Don't try to confuse me with tricks.

621
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,079
Beth is not an electron,
and neither is Mrs. Eagleton.

622
00:36:23,240 --> 00:36:25,435
So, do you really think
that criminal investigation

623
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,750
is more reliable
than physics or mathematics?

624
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,070
There are evident,
irrefutable facts.

625
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:31,839
For Christ's sake,

626
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,389
can you turn that bloody thing
off for a minute?

627
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,838
Unfortunately, the police
were unable to find the note.

628
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,878
Consequently, we have
no material evidence whatsoever.

629
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:47,712
Not a thing!

630
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:49,998
Imagine if that bloody psychopath

631
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,515
gets the wind up
and decides not to kill again...

632
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,474
Beth will be declared guilty.

633
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,235
I'd love to know
who it is you hate so much.

634
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:04,669
Myself.

635
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,553
I read the news in the papers.
You're not to blame for anything.

636
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:10,479
The worst thing is...

637
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:12,599
This is embarrassing...

638
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,709
Thanks to that
poor woman's death,

639
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,279
I've just had lunch
with Arthur Seldom.

640
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,750
Before, he didn't
even know I existed, but now...

641
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:22,598
I'm sorry about what

642
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:26,952
has happened but at the same time,
I swear I can't help feeling happy.

643
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,675
Never, in my life, have I
enjoyed myself so much.

644
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,509
One hour with Seldom is like
a lifetime with anybody else.

645
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:36,557
Well, you know,

646
00:37:36,720 --> 00:37:38,438
there's nothing embarrassing
about sincere feelings.

647
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:40,828
Are you sure about that?

648
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:47,792
Spend an hour with me?

649
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:17,873
You have something to drink?

650
00:38:18,240 --> 00:38:19,514
- No.
- Great.

651
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:55,751
- Are you okay?
- Yeah, are you okay?

652
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:08,869
What's wrong?

653
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:10,996
Nothing, it's... Sorry.

654
00:39:11,720 --> 00:39:12,709
It's Seldom.

655
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:14,757
Just strange that you should
have read this book too.

656
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,753
- A nurse interested in mathematics.
- Well, not really.

657
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,519
It was the author who interested me.
He gave it to me.

658
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,151
- You know Seldom?
- Of course I do.

659
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:25,992
- See him almost every day.
- What?

660
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,356
He visits a friend
at the hospital,

661
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,079
a terminal patient.

662
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,911
One day we began to chat and...

663
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:36,115
And what?

664
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:38,592
And he gave me the book.

665
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,675
- That's all?
- You're jealous?

666
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:45,116
He could be yourfather... Your
grandfather, come to think of it.

667
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:46,269
Yeah.

668
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,036
I just like mystery novels,

669
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,356
he was here for a while,
we had a laugh,

670
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,795
I gave him a couple of my books
and he gave me his.

671
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,839
- Is that a crime?
- No... Of course not.

672
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:03,471
Can you get him out of your mind,

673
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:05,157
please?

674
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,310
I just don't understand why
you didn't tell me to begin with.

675
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:11,435
What do you want?

676
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:13,911
A list of all the people
who have passed through here?

677
00:40:14,720 --> 00:40:16,392
- No.
- Good.

678
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:22,114
Everything you read
in the papers is a lie.

679
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:25,349
Did you know that?

680
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:27,679
No, uh...
I don't pay much attention.

681
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:29,796
- Have you read the Bible?
- Not all of it.

682
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,750
Jesus died on the cross
and then rose on the third day.

683
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:35,234
But in body and soul,

684
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:37,279
at least so they say.

685
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,348
He ate fish and spoke to Peter.

686
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:42,590
That's how he spent forty days.

687
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:44,154
Forty days!

688
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,358
He must have been green,
and have stunk to high heaven.

689
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:49,759
Hey, wait, wait.

690
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:51,239
Jesus was a terrorist.

691
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:55,479
All his life.

692
00:41:56,600 --> 00:42:00,673
A revolutionary who kicked
money changers out of the temple.

693
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:03,552
Do you know why
he came back from the dead?

694
00:42:03,720 --> 00:42:06,234
- No, theoretically...
- Jesus

695
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,358
came back to life to avenge
himself on his murderers.

696
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:10,509
Like in a horror movie.

697
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:16,036
Of course, that's not nice.
That's not interesting.

698
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:19,278
You can go in now,
your daughter

699
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:20,475
- is expecting you.
- All right.

700
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:26,513
What are you doing here?

701
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,797
I had the urge to see you,
that's all. Do you mind?

702
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:31,475
You're lying.

703
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:32,709
How do you know?

704
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:34,558
I didn't, I do now.

705
00:42:35,240 --> 00:42:37,356
You're here to see
Seldom's friend, aren't you?

706
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,875
You should have seen the look
on your face when I mentioned him.

707
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:42,557
And how are you going to explain
what you're doing here?

708
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:44,592
I'll tell him I came to see you.

709
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:46,429
You swine.

710
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:01,637
Who is that guy?
He's nuts.

711
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,389
Well, you would be too
if your daughter needed a transplant

712
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:06,039
and you couldn't find a donor.

713
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:07,833
There were two people
that could have been compatible,

714
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,479
but their families refused.

715
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:10,949
Now I get it.

716
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:12,679
You know, he thought
of committing suicide

717
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:14,751
in order to give her his lungs.

718
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:16,433
That's ridiculous.

719
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:18,910
Giving your life for someone
you love is ridiculous?

720
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:23,875
His name is Kalman,

721
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:25,758
one of my most brilliant students.

722
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:27,069
He was quick in his conclusions,

723
00:43:27,240 --> 00:43:28,389
clear in his exposition.

724
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,673
He designed intelligence tests.
I initiated him

725
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,110
into the study of logical series.

726
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,236
He was meticulous,
to the point of obsession.

727
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:37,913
He marked the tests himself,

728
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:39,354
one by one, and discovered

729
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:40,794
something really curious:

730
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,838
some of the tests were perfect;
the majority had a few mistakes.

731
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,434
But there was a third group.

732
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:48,511
The answers were absurd,
incomprehensible,

733
00:43:48,720 --> 00:43:49,869
illogical, random,

734
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:51,917
the sort of thing
that a lunatic would write.

735
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:53,149
Kalman interviewed

736
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:54,799
the pupils of this third category.

737
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,157
The answers that
he had considered absurd

738
00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:59,715
were, in fact,
another possible solution

739
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:00,710
and perfectly valid

740
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:01,915
to continue the series,

741
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,799
only with an infinitely
more complex justification.

742
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,111
The intelligence
of these pupils

743
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,874
went beyond
the conventional solution and was

744
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:11,393
much more far-reaching.

745
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:17,078
It was then that I had
to break the bad news to him.

746
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:21,152
Wittgenstein's paradox
concerning finite rules.

747
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,352
Kalman found in practice

748
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:25,272
what Wittgenstein
discovered decades before.

749
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:26,589
The series 2, 4, 8,

750
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:27,909
could obviously be followed

751
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,469
by 16, but also by 10

752
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:32,631
or 7004.

753
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,594
It's always possible
to find a rule,

754
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:37,352
a justification which allows

755
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:39,636
a series to be continued
by any number.

756
00:44:40,240 --> 00:44:42,071
It all depends on
how complicated the rule is.

757
00:44:42,240 --> 00:44:45,073
Suddenly, he realized
that he couldn't even trust

758
00:44:45,240 --> 00:44:45,911
the two times table.

759
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,714
His whole life was being
sucked into a whirlpool

760
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:50,438
of meaningless numbers.

761
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,319
Normal thought seems to be
guided by certain grooves

762
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,311
etched into our brain

763
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:56,993
which impede
our leaving that track

764
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:58,798
and jumping it like the chosen few

765
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,235
who are able to think
without limitations.

766
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,755
Kalman decided
to take a strange path.

767
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:05,512
He began to try out his tests

768
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,399
in psychiatric hospitals,
on lobotomized patients.

769
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,118
There was a remarkable similarity

770
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:11,918
between those symbols

771
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:13,433
and the results of the tests

772
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:14,794
of the highly-gifted subjects.

773
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:17,350
He was in the presence
of pure thought,

774
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:18,999
without grooves,

775
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,636
but he couldn't understand it.
The problem

776
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:23,119
was his own brain.

777
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:25,875
He saw everything from the outside.
To understand

778
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,156
those symbols, he had
to see them from the inside.

779
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:32,996
There was only one way of
achieving it: to erase the grooves.

780
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:34,952
The idea might seem grotesque,

781
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:36,599
but not to a person
who has been told

782
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:38,751
that he's suffering
from terminal cancer.

783
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:40,359
His bones were rotting like wood

784
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:42,192
infested with woodworm.

785
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,231
All he had to look forward to

786
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,960
was the amputation
of his limbs, one by one.

787
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:51,190
He was euphoric, he laughed,
nervously, like someone about

788
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,312
to discover something incredible
who can't contain his joy.

789
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:55,310
It was then

790
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,795
that I realized that my friend
had gone completely mad.

791
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:00,513
He wanted to lobotomize himself.

792
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,557
His only problem
was how to ensure

793
00:46:02,720 --> 00:46:04,836
that the brain damage
was not excessive.

794
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:07,272
He had to perforate
the skull and reach

795
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:08,839
the brain, with something like

796
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:10,069
a small harpoon.

797
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:13,076
He asked for my help
and I refused,

798
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,631
although I did promise I would try
to collect the messages he wrote

799
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:18,028
from the other side.

800
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:20,197
He used a nail gun.

801
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:25,079
What does he write?

802
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:27,551
The symbols are becoming
more and more illegible.

803
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:31,709
In all this time he's never drawn
a logical symbol or a number.

804
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:33,438
So what are they, then?

805
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,712
Four letters that
he repeats over and over.

806
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:39,229
A woman's name.

807
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:54,593
Where were you last night?

808
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:56,439
Beth, what are you doing here?

809
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:58,352
I was waiting for you.

810
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:00,679
I'm sorry. I was out and...

811
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,308
I thought you felt
something for me.

812
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:06,428
More than pity,

813
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:08,353
but I was wrong.

814
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,036
Of course I feel something
for you. We're friends.

815
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:12,428
I want to help you, but...

816
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:14,875
"We're friends,
you want to help me".

817
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:17,353
That's worse than saying
"you disgust me".

818
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:19,079
- Beth, please.
- Don't touch me!

819
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:23,959
The kinder you try to be,

820
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:25,917
the more humiliated I feel.

821
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,352
Beth, I don't mean to humiliate you.

822
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:32,753
Then treat me like a woman. You all
treat me like I was a little girl.

823
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:33,995
Maybe this isn't the time for...

824
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,071
Now is the fucking
perfect time for this, Martin.

825
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:40,029
What's the matter?

826
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,390
You're embarrassed to be seen
with me? Is that it?

827
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:45,278
Don't worry.
I'm his mother.

828
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:47,471
I'm just making sure
he does his homework.

829
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:48,356
Be quiet!

830
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:51,228
Beth, wait!

831
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:02,474
Found your killer yet?

832
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:31,115
Lorna? It's me, Martin. Do you know
anything about Seldom's friend?

833
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,555
Kalman?
What's wrong?

834
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:35,597
He's been murdered.
Today, at two fifteen.

835
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:37,952
No... Wait a second.

836
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:51,998
Sorry, Sherlock,
but he's alive.

837
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:53,229
Are you sure?

838
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:54,913
Yes, he's right in front of me.

839
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:57,389
If it's not him, then who?

840
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:01,349
It would have looked like
death from natural causes,

841
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:03,795
if we hadn't discovered
this little detail.

842
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:06,398
It's an intravenous injection,

843
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:08,915
and he wasn't receiving
that kind of treatment.

844
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:10,274
What sort of poison
was administered?

845
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:12,829
We don't know. We'll have to wait
for the post mortem report.

846
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:14,319
We know the time of death?

847
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:16,038
Exactly as it said on the note:

848
00:49:16,240 --> 00:49:17,719
quarter past two.
It says so

849
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:19,598
- on the wristband.
- Where did they find the body?

850
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,149
In the ward,
before it was brought here.

851
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:24,949
All of these people
have died in the last few hours?

852
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:28,669
Well, it's only to be expected.
This is the terminal illnesses ward.

853
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:30,678
At least a couple
of patients die every day,

854
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:32,319
according to
the senior nursing officer.

855
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:34,630
He knew my movements,
which encouraged him

856
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:35,676
to commit the crime here.

857
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,991
If he had meant to harm me,
he would have killed Kalman.

858
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:40,115
Or he could have seen you

859
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:42,316
enter the ward and didn't know
which of the two was your friend.

860
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:43,754
A terminal patient

861
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:45,035
on the point of death.

862
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:47,475
A murder that wouldn't have been
discovered had it not been

863
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:49,830
- for the note.
- Another imperceptible crime.

864
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:55,393
And might I know what
you're talking about, gentlemen?

865
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:59,754
The second sign gives the clue as to
how the sequence should be read.

866
00:49:59,920 --> 00:50:01,797
It could be
figurative representations,

867
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:05,635
or could be semantic or syntactic,
like geometric figures.

868
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:07,756
Can you translate that?

869
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:09,919
The professor means the signs

870
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:11,718
could represent things
in the real world

871
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,590
or not represent anything,
be abstract, like geometric shapes.

872
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:18,031
The second symbol
is again astute, because,

873
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:20,156
being so schematic,
it allows both readings.

874
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:24,189
It could be a game of symmetry,
or it could simply be a fish.

875
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:25,555
Soup,

876
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:27,629
fish,

877
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:30,114
dessert.

878
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:32,712
Martin, show some respect

879
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:33,876
for the inspector, please.

880
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,349
No possibility deserves
to be overlooked.

881
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:38,598
Let me propose a puzzle.

882
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:41,030
What is the fourth

883
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:42,394
symbol...

884
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:44,879
in this other series?

885
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:51,789
No idea.

886
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:53,632
Did you miss class that day, too?

887
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:56,515
You just have to know how to look.
The solution

888
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:57,715
is very simple, I assure you.

889
00:50:57,880 --> 00:50:59,518
It's called the idiot series.

890
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:00,990
Anyone who can't work it out...

891
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:02,673
Thank you, professor.
I get the message.

892
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:07,110
However, I incline to the idea that
the symbols relate to mathematics,

893
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:08,594
rather than gastronomy.

894
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:10,836
So, you think
a mathematician's involved?

895
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:14,629
It's possible, someone who seeks
recognition of some sort,

896
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:17,756
or someone who's not
a mathematician but wants to be.

897
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:18,909
A student?

898
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:19,990
That's unlikely.

899
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:21,275
Could you take

900
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:23,112
the second lieutenant out, Martin?

901
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:24,390
No, I haven't taught
for a long time.

902
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:26,516
Well, can you tell us

903
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:28,750
what the third symbol

904
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:29,750
will be?

905
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:31,909
No.

906
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:34,117
Far too many options.

907
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:38,155
He's putting us to the test,
and I wouldn't like to slip up.

908
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:40,078
Okay, let's see
if I've got this right.

909
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:44,073
We are going to wait
until he kills another person

910
00:51:44,240 --> 00:51:47,437
because we can't decipher
this bloody puzzle?

911
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:50,872
Tricky situation, isn't it?

912
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:54,868
- Could I get those there?
- 2.60 please, sir.

913
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:57,629
Good evening.

914
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:18,515
Seldom!

915
00:52:18,720 --> 00:52:19,709
Martin?

916
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:21,359
Why are you following me?

917
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:24,318
I'm not following anybody,
for God's sake, least of all you!

918
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:25,833
So what are you doing here?

919
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:27,274
I'm going to that restaurant.

920
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:29,078
Do you find it so odd that
I should be going out for dinner?

921
00:52:29,240 --> 00:52:30,150
That's where I'm going, too.

922
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:32,752
Why, that's absurd.

923
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:35,949
I'm sorry.

924
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:37,189
I should have told you
Arthur was coming as well.

925
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:40,476
Excuse me, Lorna,
but I'm the one who's annoyed

926
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:42,671
by the presence at our table
of this good-for-nothing.

927
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:43,636
Good-for-nothing?

928
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:47,398
You couldn't see a joke if it stood
up and bit you in the arse, Martin.

929
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:48,470
You're far too serious

930
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:51,279
- for your age.
- He called me at the hospital and I

931
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:53,032
just thought it would be best to
bring you up to date together, so...

932
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:57,239
Forget it, I'm not bothered by it.
I just hope I didn't hurt you.

933
00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:59,356
Even if you had,
I wouldn't admit it.

934
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:00,999
You're like two kids
fighting over a ball.

935
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:03,515
- And you're the ball?
- No, I'm the nurse who's gonna spank

936
00:53:03,720 --> 00:53:04,675
your bottoms
if you don't shut up.

937
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:05,955
Please.

938
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:09,351
I talked with the forensic expert.

939
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:10,316
And?

940
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:11,356
Nothing.

941
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:14,830
Not a trace of
any toxic substance.

942
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:16,797
Whatever he was injected with
is totally unknown.

943
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:18,075
Air, maybe?

944
00:53:18,240 --> 00:53:19,389
No!

945
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:20,675
Let her speak, please.

946
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:24,628
He's right, it's unlikely.
If he'd been injected with air,

947
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:26,876
they would have spotted it
in the post mortem.

948
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:30,438
However there is another
possibility. A substance

949
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:32,750
they extract from
a poisonous mushroom: Amanita

950
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:35,718
Muscaria. But there are
no reagents that detect it.

951
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:37,592
So it's a sort of secret among

952
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:39,552
- forensic pathologists.
- How did you find out?

953
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:42,434
Lorna has a knack
of finding out what she wants.

954
00:53:44,240 --> 00:53:45,753
Her house is littered
with murder mysteries,

955
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:47,797
but I imagine
you know that by now.

956
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:48,995
Yes, I do.

957
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,430
What surprises me
is that you haven't managed

958
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:54,431
to worm all the information
out of Martin.

959
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:58,036
Martin is a good guy.
He knows he can't tell anyone

960
00:53:58,240 --> 00:53:59,559
what you or the police
have told him in confidence.

961
00:53:59,720 --> 00:54:01,517
Well, he does right
not to tell you anything.

962
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:03,511
After all, you're still
on the list of suspects.

963
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:04,430
Me?

964
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:06,192
Well, don't look so surprised.

965
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:08,112
Both murders are closely linked
with the hospital.

966
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:10,191
You could have gone
into the room and injected

967
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:11,429
that substance which, curiously,

968
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:13,670
only you and the forensic
pathologists know about.

969
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:15,876
That's ridiculous.
She has no motive.

970
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:20,392
Of all the vast mountains of
knowledge you have not yet scaled,

971
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:24,394
Martin, this slope is one
of the most slippery. Be careful.

972
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:27,431
Don't even go there, Arthur.

973
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:31,679
Let it suffice to say

974
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:35,239
that our relationship
transcended the purely intellectual,

975
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:36,951
and when it ended,

976
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:40,070
she took it anything but sportingly.

977
00:54:40,240 --> 00:54:41,753
If you don't shut up
I'll kill you, I promise.

978
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:43,429
There, you see?

979
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,400
Has she or has she not got a motive?

980
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:50,070
You are so obnoxious.

981
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:52,750
You enjoy playing with people.

982
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:00,033
Now do you understand?

983
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:02,476
Any formulation
is valid in the series,

984
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:05,518
because we can always find
a rule that justifies it.

985
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:09,192
Heart on a line,
now you've got the eight...

986
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:13,392
now you give me the fourth.

987
00:55:19,720 --> 00:55:22,314
Ah, well, well, young man.
You are certainly not a total idiot.

988
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:27,197
One, two, three, four.

989
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:30,271
- This was easy.
- The murderer's series

990
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:32,317
is infinitely more complex.

991
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:35,833
Tell me what the third symbol is.

992
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:38,391
Circle, fish...

993
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:40,674
What's the third?

994
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:43,313
I'm sorry, I can't say.

995
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:47,233
- Why not? Don't you trust me?
- I trust you

996
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:48,549
implicitly but
that's not the point.

997
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:50,478
If I tell you,
then you'll stop thinking.

998
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:52,917
You might come up
with a better idea

999
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:54,195
than mine.

1000
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:58,069
No, there's something else. You
could have easily told the police.

1001
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:00,078
For them, anything
is better than nothing.

1002
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:01,874
You're right.

1003
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:05,032
But there's a good reason
why I didn't.

1004
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:06,474
I'm scared.

1005
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:07,356
Scared?

1006
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:10,438
This whole business terrifies me.

1007
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:12,716
We're playing
with symbols and puzzles,

1008
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:14,279
but behind it all
is the real world,

1009
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:17,113
do you understand?
It's about people's lives.

1010
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:20,830
If we make a mistake in an equation,
we rub it out, no problem.

1011
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:23,352
But where life is concerned,

1012
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:25,033
there's no turning back.

1013
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:27,393
In the real world any decision,

1014
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:30,518
however insignificant,
has irreversible consequences.

1015
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:33,194
At least, that's
what life has taught me.

1016
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:36,793
You're very young.

1017
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:41,599
I've already paid
a high price for my mistakes.

1018
00:56:55,720 --> 00:56:56,789
Keep this.

1019
00:56:58,040 --> 00:56:58,995
What is it?

1020
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:01,073
It's the third symbol of the series.

1021
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:04,278
You can do one of two things: you
can open it now and have your answer

1022
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:06,715
or you can work out
the solution yourself,

1023
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:09,155
and prove you're not an idiot.

1024
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:36,029
Thank you very much.

1025
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:37,474
We're finished.

1026
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:38,470
Thanks.

1027
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:42,949
I'm glad to see you.

1028
00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:44,673
That was spectacular.

1029
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:46,199
You should see it
with the fireworks

1030
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:47,713
- and everything...
- What, here?

1031
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:49,791
No. It's just a rehearsal
for the Guy Fawkes' day concert.

1032
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:51,475
Guy Fawkes?

1033
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:52,993
Remember, remember
the fifth of November?

1034
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:54,832
No, sorry, I don't remember.

1035
00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:55,950
And...

1036
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:57,792
it'll be my last concert.

1037
00:57:57,960 --> 00:57:59,234
I'm taking your advice
and getting out.

1038
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:01,277
This "marvellous" city
can be stifling.

1039
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:02,919
It's too dismal.

1040
00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:04,957
I want to go somewhere
with more light.

1041
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:08,319
Spain or...
maybe South America.

1042
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:10,869
Beth, I want to apologize
for what happened.

1043
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:14,475
It was my fault.
I needed help,

1044
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:16,915
a little affection, you gave it
to me and I spoiled it all.

1045
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:19,435
You were going through
a difficult time, I understand.

1046
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:23,280
You're very sweet.
So, you coming to the concert?

1047
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:24,595
I'll be there.

1048
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:34,275
Martin!

1049
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:37,591
There's something else
I need to tell you.

1050
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:41,318
I spoke with Petersen and maybe
I said more than I should have.

1051
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:42,629
Why?

1052
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:46,433
He began to ask me
some questions about you.

1053
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:47,749
Me?

1054
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:49,355
He wanted to know

1055
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:51,238
why you chose
my house in particular.

1056
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:52,748
What did you tell him?

1057
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:54,116
The truth.

1058
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:56,396
That you're obsessed with everything
there is to do with Seldom.

1059
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:57,515
You told him what?

1060
00:58:57,680 --> 00:58:59,033
I didn't think it was important.

1061
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:01,828
I'm sure you're not going to deny
that you're obsessed with him.

1062
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:03,109
What are you talking about?

1063
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:06,079
He also asked me...

1064
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:10,397
if... there was any relationship
between the two of us.

1065
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:12,591
- And you said...
- I told him what happened.

1066
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:14,159
What happened?
Nothing!

1067
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:16,356
Exactly, that's what
I told him, nothing happened.

1068
00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:20,393
Okay, okay... You'd have been better
off not saying anything at all.

1069
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:22,073
I know, and...

1070
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:24,835
as soon as I said it
I regretted it but...

1071
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:26,548
I was angry
with you and it was

1072
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:27,875
the first thing
that came into my mind.

1073
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:29,879
What else did you tell him, Beth?

1074
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:31,951
I told him that I...

1075
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:35,672
I had a feeling that
you weren't interested in me

1076
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:38,312
and that you preferred
being with Seldom.

1077
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:39,595
Oh, bloody hell!

1078
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:40,909
I'm sorry.

1079
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:46,200
You don't think they'll take
something so stupid seriously?

1080
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:48,430
They take everything
seriously, Beth.

1081
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:51,870
Well, I don't think it's going
to put you on the spot.

1082
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:55,390
It's absurd that the police should
think that you're the murderer.

1083
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:00,195
Does the perfect crime exist?

1084
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:03,558
For years, writers
have speculated on this idea

1085
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:04,989
and murderers too.

1086
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,754
Some even managed to put
the idea into practice.

1087
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:10,309
Like the case
of Howard Green, in London.

1088
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:12,232
Green was a humble tailor,

1089
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:14,718
well-considered socially.

1090
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:17,792
He kept a diary which
the police found in his own house.

1091
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:19,871
In the diary, he analyzed

1092
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:21,109
in great detail

1093
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:22,713
fourteen ways of murdering

1094
01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:26,509
his wife, for whom he professed
a deep and secret

1095
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:27,795
hatred. Some of

1096
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:29,473
the procedures were ridiculous,

1097
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:31,915
others brutal, one or two

1098
01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:33,274
really brilliant.

1099
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:35,032
But what Green understood at once

1100
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:37,270
was that the main danger
for the criminal

1101
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:40,750
was not the possible investigation
of facts in the past

1102
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:42,114
but the problems that

1103
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:43,918
might arise in the future.

1104
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:47,710
Every alibi contains an element
of falsehood which with patience

1105
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:49,359
can be discovered.

1106
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:53,513
His conclusion was that
the only perfect crime that exists

1107
01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:57,156
is not the one that remains
unsolved but the one

1108
01:00:57,320 --> 01:00:59,754
which is solved
with the wrong culprit.

1109
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:01,993
Does he kill her in the end?

1110
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:04,750
No, she kills him.

1111
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:08,109
One night she found the diary.

1112
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:10,038
She ended up stabbing him with

1113
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:11,189
the kitchen scissors.

1114
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:14,994
The jury, horrified
by the reading of the diary,

1115
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:17,231
judge the murder to have been

1116
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:19,436
in self-defence
and declare her innocent.

1117
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:21,429
Julia Green,

1118
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:23,955
you have been found
not guilty, you are free to go.

1119
01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:28,315
I don't understand.
How is it the perfect crime?

1120
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:29,994
It was discovered recently

1121
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:32,754
that the handwriting in the diaries
was not Howard Green's.

1122
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:34,194
So, who wrote them?

1123
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:37,591
His wife's lover,
a forger of works of art.

1124
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:40,874
The murderer is 30/36 years old.

1125
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:44,271
Born into a lower middle class
family, in a small town or a suburb

1126
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:45,509
of a big city.

1127
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:48,633
He's got the characteristics
of a precocious genius.

1128
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:50,519
And probably

1129
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:52,159
some form of physical defect.

1130
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:55,312
He imagines that his talents

1131
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:59,234
triumph and that he can destroy
those who humiliate him.

1132
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:00,879
Then his big chance arrives:

1133
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:04,589
to leave his environment and put
his former world behind him.

1134
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:09,159
And it is here that something
unexpected happens: he is rejected.

1135
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:12,591
For some, probably
unfair reason, he is expelled

1136
01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:15,992
from the place that he considers
to be his by right.

1137
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:18,720
And he finds himself
faced with the prospect

1138
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:20,950
of having to return to the world
that he thought he'd escaped.

1139
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:24,831
Goodness, sounds like
this woman knew him personally.

1140
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:27,560
That's crazy, she has no basis.

1141
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:29,836
In any case, we're not talking
about a psychopath,

1142
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:31,911
there are no elements of cruelty.

1143
01:02:32,200 --> 01:02:34,953
In fact, we could say
that he is virtually innocent.

1144
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:39,238
Exactly. The psychologist
puts special emphasis on that.

1145
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:40,674
The murderer is seeking

1146
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:42,478
vengeance and admiration.

1147
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:45,353
The murders are, in a sense,
a way of paying court to you.

1148
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:47,988
There's a mixture
of the desire for vengeance

1149
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:50,390
and the much stronger desire
to belong

1150
01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:53,836
to your world. He wants you
to accept him, Seldom.

1151
01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:55,270
He's trying to please you,

1152
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:58,398
as if he was in the first stages
of falling in love.

1153
01:02:58,560 --> 01:02:59,515
The psychologist

1154
01:02:59,840 --> 01:03:03,037
thinks the murderer is a repressed
homosexual who lives alone.

1155
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:07,556
Bad cut.
You should have that seen to.

1156
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:09,478
I don't know what the hell...

1157
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:14,071
At least you didn't tip a pot of
boiling coffee over your trousers.

1158
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:16,231
I'm an expert
at that, believe me.

1159
01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:19,474
If you want,
we can carry on later.

1160
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:22,548
Yes, that might be an idea.

1161
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:25,748
Don't you think
you're exaggerating a bit?

1162
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:28,309
The police are open
to all sorts of hypotheses.

1163
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:30,710
Right now any formulation
can be valid for them.

1164
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:31,995
You sound like Seldom.

1165
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:34,993
He's right, for God's sakes.
I could be a suspect, too!

1166
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:36,479
Yeah, like me.

1167
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:38,552
Yes, like you, like everyone.

1168
01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:43,716
Don't let Seldom
get into your head, baby.

1169
01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:46,914
Cuz once he's in there,
there's no way of getting him out.

1170
01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:50,709
That's what happened to you, isn't
it? You're still in love with him.

1171
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:52,549
That's not funny.

1172
01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:55,515
Sorry.

1173
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:58,760
It's as if Seldom was everywhere,
it's a nightmare.

1174
01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:00,911
There's nothing I've done
that he hasn't done already,

1175
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:02,229
and apparently much better

1176
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:03,117
than me.

1177
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:04,599
What do you want me to do?
To tell you

1178
01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:06,318
I prefer you and you fuck
better than he did?

1179
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:09,358
No. I want you to lie
and tell me I'm more intelligent.

1180
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:13,709
Go to hell.

1181
01:04:13,880 --> 01:04:15,233
You know what pissed me off?

1182
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:16,628
What pissed me off was knowing

1183
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:18,472
that I wasn't the only one
at the table who'd fucked you.

1184
01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:22,553
That was so long ago.

1185
01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:25,271
When you were thirteen, right?
He calls you

1186
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:27,032
and you go running
like a little lapdog,

1187
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:29,316
and all so he can
give you another kick.

1188
01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:32,071
Yeah, that's how I am.

1189
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:34,069
Exactly like you.

1190
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:37,156
Martin, I think
you'd better go now, really.

1191
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:39,358
And until all this is over,

1192
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:42,559
I really don't want to know
anything about you or Seldom.

1193
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:46,556
You are a shit
like the rest of us.

1194
01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:48,149
We are mediocre,

1195
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:50,437
and all mediocre people can do is...

1196
01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:52,634
get drunk and forget.

1197
01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:55,309
Leave me alone.

1198
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:05,153
To the mediocre of this world!

1199
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:08,516
To vulgarity

1200
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:09,789
and stupidity!

1201
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:12,636
Cambridge has kicked us
in the arse again!

1202
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:15,315
What?

1203
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:17,310
What are you looking at?

1204
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:21,319
It's true, isn't it?

1205
01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:24,109
You should give up maths
and write children's stories

1206
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:25,310
- instead!
- Calm down.

1207
01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:27,392
- Let's get out of here.
- One day

1208
01:05:27,560 --> 01:05:30,393
the Mad Hatter will come
out of his closet and assfuck

1209
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:32,516
- the lot of you!
- Okay, come on.

1210
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:37,994
What are you talking about?

1211
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:40,116
What planet are you from,
bloody fool?

1212
01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:41,918
If you'd stopped
fucking everyone in sight

1213
01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:44,913
and paid a bit of attention,
you'd have realized.

1214
01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:49,671
Henry Wilkins?
Who's Henry Wilkins?

1215
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:52,155
He's Kennedy's assassin,
who do you think?

1216
01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:54,711
He's solved Bormat's Last Theorem?

1217
01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:57,880
At least that is the rumour.
He's giving

1218
01:05:58,040 --> 01:05:59,519
a demonstration
in the next three days,

1219
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:01,591
in the theory of numbers
conference at Cambridge.

1220
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:03,632
He's solved
the most fucking difficult

1221
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:06,030
mathematics problem
of the last 300 years.

1222
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:09,158
And you know who should be there,
giving this demonstration?

1223
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:13,799
Me!
Yuri Ivanovich Podorov!

1224
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:15,757
You have a demonstration
of Bormat's Last Theorem?

1225
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:17,359
No, of course I don't!

1226
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:20,791
But I would have it, if your friend
Seldom had not stolen it from me.

1227
01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:22,188
Ah, so that's it...

1228
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:25,113
It was me who deduced
that the Bormat conjecture

1229
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:27,748
could not be solved without
Taniyama's formulation.

1230
01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:30,190
For every modular form,
there is an elliptic curve,

1231
01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:32,555
and for every elliptic curve
there is a modular form.

1232
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:33,596
You're drunk.

1233
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:36,513
Yes, I'm drunk!
But eight years ago I was not!

1234
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:39,238
I went to Seldom,

1235
01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:41,118
explained to him,
asked him to help me

1236
01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:43,271
get into the theory
of numbers group at Cambridge,

1237
01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:46,432
and, do you know what
he said about my idea?

1238
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:48,194
"It's absurd."

1239
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:50,712
"It's absurd"!

1240
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:54,717
And now, thanks to this
little bit of absurdity,

1241
01:06:55,440 --> 01:06:56,714
Henry Wilkins

1242
01:06:57,600 --> 01:06:59,272
will go down in history.

1243
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:01,558
Apparently, he's been working

1244
01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:03,870
on Bormat in secret

1245
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:06,349
- for seven years.
- Why in secret?

1246
01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:08,319
What do you mean why?

1247
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:11,119
Because they stole it from me!
It was my idea!

1248
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:13,396
But I tell you something:
they don't know how to do it.

1249
01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:15,869
There's a mistake in their approach.
They don't know how to do it.

1250
01:07:16,040 --> 01:07:17,359
But it hasn't been proved yet.

1251
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:19,719
Don't contradict me.

1252
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:22,311
You're on their side, aren't you?

1253
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:25,791
You are all against me!
You are trying to steal my ideas!

1254
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:27,518
You won't read my mind!

1255
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:29,716
Help me! I'm being robbed!
Help me!

1256
01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:31,199
They're trying to kill me!

1257
01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:33,590
If you don't shut up,
I fucking will kill you!

1258
01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:37,989
Easy, easy.

1259
01:07:39,320 --> 01:07:40,309
Bastards!

1260
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:44,480
Fucking English and
their damned good manners.

1261
01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:45,954
When they fuck you,

1262
01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:49,037
they really fuck you.

1263
01:08:23,720 --> 01:08:25,312
Welcome to the party.

1264
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:29,878
I gather nobody told you
about the dress code for this do?

1265
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:38,434
Good old Guy Fawkes
was ahead of his time.

1266
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:40,079
He tried to blow up Parliament

1267
01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:42,430
with the king, the lords and
the whole bloody government inside.

1268
01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:46,549
Since then, every November 6th,
we've had this civilized celebration

1269
01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:48,836
where we burn his image,

1270
01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:52,075
although nowadays
I'd be hard pushed to tell you

1271
01:08:52,240 --> 01:08:54,959
whether it's to commemorate
his failure or his brilliant idea.

1272
01:08:57,040 --> 01:08:58,792
Talking of conspirators...

1273
01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:01,156
No, don't look now, be discreet.

1274
01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:03,630
Sitting behind me,

1275
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:05,950
a few rows back, is a tall black
gentleman. Do you remember him?

1276
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:11,035
Yes.

1277
01:09:11,240 --> 01:09:13,595
He's been following me for 3 days
now. He's one of Petersen's men.

1278
01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:14,909
Is Petersen here as well?

1279
01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:15,910
Sitting to our right,

1280
01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:17,638
just there,
with his daughter.

1281
01:09:20,280 --> 01:09:21,679
There's something
I need to speak to you about.

1282
01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:22,676
It might be...

1283
01:09:42,480 --> 01:09:43,799
- Did you see him?
- Who?

1284
01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:44,676
Podorov.

1285
01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:46,399
He had something under his cape.

1286
01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:13,596
We're following a suspect
inside the palace.

1287
01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:16,718
I want all available men
inside here, now.

1288
01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:21,510
Podorov!

1289
01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:27,588
He's going up to the roof!

1290
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:30,354
What are you doing here?
Who's with Seldom?

1291
01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:09,034
- I only want...
- Shut up

1292
01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:10,474
and stay on the ground.

1293
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:12,517
What the hell's this?

1294
01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:14,989
Martin, you traitor.

1295
01:11:17,800 --> 01:11:18,676
"Bastards".

1296
01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:19,989
This guy's just a fucking

1297
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:21,309
clown.

1298
01:11:21,480 --> 01:11:24,074
Scott, what the hell are you
doing here? Get back on Seldom!

1299
01:11:24,320 --> 01:11:25,116
I'm on to it.

1300
01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:05,639
Let me through, please.
I'm a doctor.

1301
01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:09,230
You okay?

1302
01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:14,955
This man is dead.

1303
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:23,276
Seems the cause
of death was asphyxia.

1304
01:12:23,440 --> 01:12:25,635
How could they have choked him,
up there, in front of everyone?

1305
01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:27,756
According to the doctor
who attended to him,

1306
01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:29,512
it was a spontaneous
respiratory arrest.

1307
01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:31,193
I've just spoken to Beth.

1308
01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:33,476
Apparently, the man's state
of health was somewhat delicate.

1309
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:36,632
He was operated on a few years ago
for pulmonary emphysema.

1310
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:39,030
By rights he should
have died some time ago.

1311
01:12:40,120 --> 01:12:42,270
With that problem,
if your breathing is obstructed,

1312
01:12:42,480 --> 01:12:43,913
you'd be dead
in a matter of seconds.

1313
01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:46,790
We have no evidence to indicate
that this was a murder.

1314
01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:48,234
Yes, we do.

1315
01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:56,073
The third symbol is a triangle!

1316
01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:57,150
Where did you find this?

1317
01:12:57,320 --> 01:13:00,915
It was found on the conductor's
music stand. The assassin

1318
01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:03,230
tore the words
"the third in the series"

1319
01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:04,515
from the program notes.

1320
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:06,636
The circle, the fish,

1321
01:13:07,480 --> 01:13:09,436
and the triangle.
Well, it makes sense.

1322
01:13:10,480 --> 01:13:12,198
I've had enough of this.

1323
01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:15,035
I want you to tell me right now
exactly what you know.

1324
01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:16,474
Otherwise, I'm gonna have

1325
01:13:16,720 --> 01:13:18,153
to consider you
to be an accomplice, because

1326
01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:20,117
it's obvious that
you're withholding information.

1327
01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:23,993
I only have a rudimentary idea
of what his reasoning might be.

1328
01:13:24,160 --> 01:13:25,115
So what is it,

1329
01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:26,269
for Christ's sake?

1330
01:13:27,480 --> 01:13:29,710
Well, I think maybe this is

1331
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:31,828
not the best time.

1332
01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:33,234
I don't believe it.

1333
01:13:33,480 --> 01:13:35,118
Fine, fine.
I'll get out here.

1334
01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:38,031
- Do you mind, Martin?
- No, don't worry about me.

1335
01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:38,996
I could use a walk.

1336
01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:40,958
Just don't walk
too far, all right?

1337
01:13:47,240 --> 01:13:48,275
Bastards.

1338
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:51,832
In Cambridge preparations
are being made

1339
01:13:52,040 --> 01:13:54,554
to celebrate one of the crowning
moments in its history.

1340
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:59,272
If the rumours are true, thanks to
Professor Henry Wilkins, Bormat's

1341
01:13:59,440 --> 01:14:03,433
famous last theorem could cease to
be unsolvable in the next few hours.

1342
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:06,194
Hundreds of mathematicians
from all over the world

1343
01:14:06,360 --> 01:14:08,316
will meet today
in Cambridge to witness,

1344
01:14:08,480 --> 01:14:09,799
live, the public demonstration

1345
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:11,598
that Professor Wilkins will give

1346
01:14:11,760 --> 01:14:14,558
in the university's
Number Theory Congress.

1347
01:14:14,720 --> 01:14:16,073
For centuries mathematicians

1348
01:14:16,240 --> 01:14:18,470
have tried in vain
to answer that theorem.

1349
01:14:18,640 --> 01:14:20,517
Will the mystery be resolved?

1350
01:14:24,400 --> 01:14:28,109
I'm sorry about yesterday,
but I still think that you should...

1351
01:14:28,280 --> 01:14:30,669
Yeah, that I should think
for myself.

1352
01:14:31,440 --> 01:14:33,396
Though I haven't been
too successful so far.

1353
01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:37,910
Tomorrow the paper will publish
an article about the murders.

1354
01:14:38,080 --> 01:14:39,593
In it I explain everything I know.

1355
01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:41,315
Everything?

1356
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:44,430
The police think that
if we make it public

1357
01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:47,353
and we give our solution to the 4th
symbol, it'll stop the murderer.

1358
01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:49,398
What interests him is that

1359
01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:51,835
I recognize his intelligence.
That should be enough.

1360
01:14:52,480 --> 01:14:53,674
Do you think it will work?

1361
01:14:54,160 --> 01:14:55,991
It's the best
I could come up with.

1362
01:14:56,720 --> 01:14:59,154
So I have 12 hours
to prove I'm not an idiot.

1363
01:14:59,320 --> 01:15:00,833
That just about sums it up, right?

1364
01:15:01,480 --> 01:15:04,074
You're not an idiot,
much as you might try.

1365
01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:06,830
You know it, Martin,
you just have to remember.

1366
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:08,718
After all, you belong to the sect.

1367
01:15:17,480 --> 01:15:19,914
- I know what you're thinking.
- So?

1368
01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:22,196
It could be the biggest mistake
of your life, believe me.

1369
01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:23,429
I don't believe you.

1370
01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:24,635
I think you're lying.

1371
01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:27,394
You're right.
I am lying,

1372
01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:30,832
but if I distract you long enough,
maybe the bus'll set off and it'll

1373
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:32,115
be too late.

1374
01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:13,796
You know, these are a bit
hard to swallow at first,

1375
01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:16,838
but after a while
you get a taste for them.

1376
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:18,991
My spaghetti
or my mystery novels?

1377
01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:20,798
No, spaghetti
is a great invention.

1378
01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:22,678
So are mystery novels.

1379
01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:24,068
You know, they make sense.

1380
01:17:24,880 --> 01:17:27,519
There's something to find out and
they explain it to you at the end.

1381
01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:29,238
In life, nobody
bothers explaining anything.

1382
01:17:29,400 --> 01:17:32,278
I don't want to speak
of explanations,

1383
01:17:32,440 --> 01:17:34,317
or conjectures, or anything else.

1384
01:17:34,480 --> 01:17:37,074
Outside this room nothing exists.

1385
01:17:37,800 --> 01:17:39,995
Only you, me

1386
01:17:41,120 --> 01:17:42,348
and this spaghetti.

1387
01:17:45,280 --> 01:17:47,510
I know what it meant
for you to get off that bus.

1388
01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:49,878
It was worth it.

1389
01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:51,673
It's only just begun.

1390
01:17:54,280 --> 01:17:56,157
Look what you've done.
You're mad.

1391
01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:57,475
Mad about you.

1392
01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:11,878
You've got some there.

1393
01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:15,353
This moment is perfect...

1394
01:18:16,240 --> 01:18:17,275
unique.

1395
01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:20,109
"The unshaken heart
of well-rounded truth".

1396
01:18:20,960 --> 01:18:21,870
Come again?

1397
01:18:24,280 --> 01:18:27,636
It's from Parmenides,
he was a Greek stand-up comedian.

1398
01:18:27,920 --> 01:18:30,354
He said that reality
is one big lie,

1399
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:32,274
and the only thing that exists

1400
01:18:32,440 --> 01:18:34,749
is a single unchanging God.

1401
01:18:36,040 --> 01:18:37,712
Wow, you're doing it again.

1402
01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:38,756
What?

1403
01:18:38,920 --> 01:18:40,433
Talking like
the people from your sect.

1404
01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:42,989
- Well, I guess we can't help it.
- I guess.

1405
01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:45,514
Now I understand

1406
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:49,195
why girls go out with musicians
and not mathematicians.

1407
01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:50,509
That's what he said.

1408
01:18:50,680 --> 01:18:53,399
Really? He knew
girls prefer musicians?

1409
01:18:53,560 --> 01:18:56,472
No, no, no, no.
The thing about the sect.

1410
01:18:56,680 --> 01:18:58,671
"You should know.
You're part of the sect."

1411
01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:00,958
- What?
- Fuck.

1412
01:19:01,440 --> 01:19:03,158
No, no, no.
It can't be, it's too easy.

1413
01:19:03,320 --> 01:19:04,150
What's wrong?

1414
01:19:04,600 --> 01:19:06,556
I have to discover it before
it comes out in the papers.

1415
01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:07,789
What?

1416
01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:09,556
Oh my God, it's Seldom.

1417
01:19:09,720 --> 01:19:11,278
You just have to go along
with his bloody game, don't you?

1418
01:19:11,440 --> 01:19:13,271
Yes, I do! It's all
I can fucking think about.

1419
01:19:13,440 --> 01:19:15,158
- Beth was right.
- What?

1420
01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:17,231
You're in love with
a bloody lunatic. That old man

1421
01:19:17,400 --> 01:19:19,391
- turns you on more than I do!
- Look, Lorna, listen to me.

1422
01:19:19,560 --> 01:19:21,516
Just this once, that's all I ask.

1423
01:19:21,800 --> 01:19:23,597
When this nightmare's over,
we're getting out

1424
01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:25,512
- of here.
- Where to?

1425
01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:27,990
Wherever. Outside these walls,
to a place with no books,

1426
01:19:28,160 --> 01:19:29,639
where people don't know
their two times tables.

1427
01:19:37,320 --> 01:19:39,356
- Shit!
- I told you.

1428
01:19:40,240 --> 01:19:42,356
It's too early,
even for the bookworms.

1429
01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:44,348
What now?

1430
01:19:44,800 --> 01:19:46,074
Bookstore!

1431
01:19:52,560 --> 01:19:54,596
- Hey, we're closed.
- We'll just be a moment!

1432
01:19:59,080 --> 01:20:00,798
At least tell me
what we're looking for.

1433
01:20:02,680 --> 01:20:03,999
Ah, here it is.

1434
01:20:04,800 --> 01:20:06,279
The sect of the Pythagoreans...

1435
01:20:06,440 --> 01:20:07,714
The fathers of mathematics.

1436
01:20:07,960 --> 01:20:09,791
They were forbidden
to reveal their secrets.

1437
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:12,434
They functioned like
a religious sect, numbers

1438
01:20:12,600 --> 01:20:14,397
were sacred to them,
gods that conformed the world.

1439
01:20:15,680 --> 01:20:16,908
No, it's not here.

1440
01:20:19,240 --> 01:20:20,639
I'm sorry but you'll have
to come back later.

1441
01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:21,630
There's no one on the cash register.

1442
01:20:21,800 --> 01:20:23,518
Don't worry.
We don't need to buy anything.

1443
01:20:23,680 --> 01:20:24,908
Well, I think
you'd better leave, then.

1444
01:20:25,120 --> 01:20:27,759
Oh, give us a moment.
Pretty please? Please.

1445
01:20:28,040 --> 01:20:29,314
If you consult our catalogue,

1446
01:20:29,480 --> 01:20:31,038
I think you'll find everything
to meet your requirements.

1447
01:20:32,160 --> 01:20:34,196
Will you shut up for a minute!
I can't think!

1448
01:20:34,800 --> 01:20:35,437
I'm sorry,

1449
01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:37,591
but you give me no option
but to call security.

1450
01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:38,988
Fine, call security.

1451
01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:40,076
Just leave.

1452
01:20:43,400 --> 01:20:45,516
It's got to be mentioned
in one of these,

1453
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:47,228
a diagram, or something.

1454
01:20:54,480 --> 01:20:55,515
Kind of like that?

1455
01:20:56,040 --> 01:20:57,519
That's it. Perfect.

1456
01:20:58,040 --> 01:20:58,870
One,

1457
01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:01,952
the beginning of all things.
Perfection, enclosed in itself.

1458
01:21:02,120 --> 01:21:02,757
The fish.

1459
01:21:03,040 --> 01:21:05,713
That's what we thought. The Vesica
Piscis, a Christian symbol, but

1460
01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:06,630
this one's much earlier.

1461
01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:10,316
It's simply two, the intersection
of two circles. Symbol of opposites,

1462
01:21:10,480 --> 01:21:12,835
duality, the war
between good and evil.

1463
01:21:13,160 --> 01:21:14,115
Three, the triad,

1464
01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:16,669
the synthesis of opposites.
Peace after war.

1465
01:21:18,160 --> 01:21:19,275
And the fourth symbol?

1466
01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:22,598
The Tetraktys, the quaternary.

1467
01:21:22,760 --> 01:21:25,672
One plus two, plus three,
plus four: ten.

1468
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:27,399
Totality, the Demiurge.

1469
01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:29,950
It was their divine number.

1470
01:21:32,720 --> 01:21:35,029
One, two, three, four.

1471
01:21:35,360 --> 01:21:36,634
That simple.

1472
01:21:37,080 --> 01:21:38,513
How could I not see it?

1473
01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:42,310
Any enigma is easy
once you know the answer.

1474
01:21:43,840 --> 01:21:44,795
What are you looking for?

1475
01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:48,839
The only thing I know about these
guys is that they had a unique...

1476
01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:52,152
understanding of medicine.
You know, if...

1477
01:21:52,480 --> 01:21:54,391
intelligence was
the supreme value,

1478
01:21:54,560 --> 01:21:58,155
then the mentally retarded
were the greatest sinners.

1479
01:21:58,320 --> 01:22:00,515
They used them as guinea pigs

1480
01:22:00,680 --> 01:22:01,795
for medical experiments.

1481
01:22:04,040 --> 01:22:06,270
They even tried organ transplants...

1482
01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:32,354
Oh shit.

1483
01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:51,074
Thanks very much,
that's all I need!

1484
01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:53,599
- Thank you.
- Really sorry.

1485
01:22:53,760 --> 01:22:54,795
Come on!

1486
01:22:56,040 --> 01:22:56,711
Hey!

1487
01:22:57,240 --> 01:22:57,911
Come here!

1488
01:22:58,560 --> 01:22:59,675
Come back here!

1489
01:23:00,280 --> 01:23:00,996
You two!

1490
01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:03,116
Where do you think
you're going? Come here!

1491
01:23:04,600 --> 01:23:05,715
I know who the murderer is.

1492
01:23:05,880 --> 01:23:08,269
It's okay, John.
Really?

1493
01:23:08,480 --> 01:23:09,959
Look, I know I fucked up
in the concert,

1494
01:23:10,120 --> 01:23:11,109
but now you have to believe me.

1495
01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:13,840
This time it could be worse, he
could kill more people, probably 10.

1496
01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:14,830
Relax.

1497
01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:18,794
This time he got in touch with us
directly. We guessed the symbol.

1498
01:23:19,680 --> 01:23:20,351
The tetraktys...

1499
01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:22,909
Exactly. The message
indicates a particular place.

1500
01:23:23,080 --> 01:23:24,229
He told us to send ambulances there.

1501
01:23:24,400 --> 01:23:25,037
A road?

1502
01:23:25,360 --> 01:23:27,316
The A421. Just past
the Black Cat roundabout.

1503
01:23:27,480 --> 01:23:28,913
That's the road to Cambridge.

1504
01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:31,029
There's a flyover
on the main road.

1505
01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:32,872
Petersen's already on his way.

1506
01:23:33,040 --> 01:23:35,156
He'll try to stop the bus
before it reaches that spot.

1507
01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:41,799
Have you located the bus yet?

1508
01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:43,552
It's three miles from where

1509
01:23:43,720 --> 01:23:45,233
you are, sir.
You'll be meeting up

1510
01:23:45,400 --> 01:23:46,469
in under a minute.

1511
01:23:48,400 --> 01:23:49,594
Petersen here, to all units.

1512
01:23:49,760 --> 01:23:51,830
The murderer may be travelling

1513
01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:55,037
with them, so keep your heads
down until I give the word.

1514
01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:19,992
Where are they?
I can't see them.

1515
01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:23,478
- Right in front of you, sir.
- Got it!

1516
01:24:24,480 --> 01:24:25,230
Now!

1517
01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:26,150
Now!

1518
01:24:34,880 --> 01:24:35,915
Jesus!

1519
01:24:51,280 --> 01:24:53,794
Turn off the engine!
Put your hands on the wheel!

1520
01:24:56,400 --> 01:24:57,310
We made it in time.

1521
01:24:58,000 --> 01:24:59,274
They've stopped the bus.

1522
01:24:59,440 --> 01:25:00,953
Seldom and the other
mathematicians are safe.

1523
01:25:01,120 --> 01:25:04,237
Seldom? What have you done?
You've got the wrong bus!

1524
01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:29,790
Hello?

1525
01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:32,872
Seldom, you have to speak with
Petersen, there's another bus!

1526
01:25:33,040 --> 01:25:34,075
What are you talking about?

1527
01:25:34,240 --> 01:25:35,514
It's the girl's father!

1528
01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:36,829
What girl?

1529
01:25:44,040 --> 01:25:45,109
Martin?

1530
01:25:45,920 --> 01:25:47,114
Martin, can you hear me?

1531
01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:50,033
The girl in the hospital,
she needs a transplant.

1532
01:25:50,200 --> 01:25:52,509
He wants to kill
the kids to save her!

1533
01:26:08,160 --> 01:26:09,115
Sir?

1534
01:26:09,280 --> 01:26:11,919
Excuse me, sir.
Sir, this way, please.

1535
01:26:12,560 --> 01:26:14,391
- That bus has to be stopped!
- Calm down, sir.

1536
01:26:14,560 --> 01:26:16,073
They're going to be killed!
I have to talk to Petersen!

1537
01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:20,119
Sir, one of the professors
insists on speaking to you.

1538
01:26:20,280 --> 01:26:21,679
He's completely
lost control of himself.

1539
01:26:38,640 --> 01:26:40,278
Oh what the hell?

1540
01:26:54,640 --> 01:26:57,677
You.
Did you know about this?

1541
01:26:58,200 --> 01:27:00,668
Did you fucking know about this?

1542
01:27:00,840 --> 01:27:02,353
You and your fucking equations!

1543
01:27:13,600 --> 01:27:15,033
I don't know anything.

1544
01:27:20,760 --> 01:27:21,875
Nothing.

1545
01:28:09,680 --> 01:28:12,672
Five of the victims
are possible donors.

1546
01:28:13,880 --> 01:28:16,075
Five organs offer a fair chance.

1547
01:28:16,520 --> 01:28:17,748
They're rushing them off
to St Joseph's.

1548
01:28:18,160 --> 01:28:19,639
That's why he sent the ambulances.

1549
01:28:19,800 --> 01:28:21,233
That's right.

1550
01:28:22,400 --> 01:28:24,118
The petrol tank
was down to a minimum.

1551
01:28:24,320 --> 01:28:25,799
He wanted to cause
as little harm as possible,

1552
01:28:25,960 --> 01:28:28,758
only this time
it wasn't exactly imperceptible.

1553
01:28:29,800 --> 01:28:31,438
Why all these?
Why all the symbols?

1554
01:28:31,840 --> 01:28:33,910
He didn't plan
to die in the accident.

1555
01:28:34,080 --> 01:28:36,992
His idea was to jump in time
to avoid being a suspect.

1556
01:28:37,160 --> 01:28:37,876
How do you know?

1557
01:28:39,400 --> 01:28:42,153
When the bus crashed,
the doors were already open.

1558
01:28:43,440 --> 01:28:44,873
And what about the other deaths?

1559
01:28:45,520 --> 01:28:47,317
Well, if only the children
had been killed,

1560
01:28:47,480 --> 01:28:49,038
he would have been
the prime suspect.

1561
01:28:49,200 --> 01:28:50,918
Making us believe
in a serial killer

1562
01:28:51,080 --> 01:28:52,433
took the spotlight off him.

1563
01:28:52,600 --> 01:28:55,478
Only he miscalculated
and didn't get out in time.

1564
01:28:56,320 --> 01:28:58,788
So, he didn't really want
to kill the other people,

1565
01:28:59,160 --> 01:29:01,799
- he just needed an alibi?
- Exactly.

1566
01:29:02,640 --> 01:29:05,108
Shame we didn't work it out sooner.

1567
01:29:05,480 --> 01:29:06,469
So much

1568
01:29:06,640 --> 01:29:07,709
for logic.

1569
01:29:53,160 --> 01:29:55,435
You were just a pawn in his game.

1570
01:29:56,640 --> 01:29:58,756
You have nothing
to feel guilty about.

1571
01:30:07,840 --> 01:30:10,229
You don't know what you're saying.

1572
01:30:31,320 --> 01:30:33,197
You don't need to get on a plane.

1573
01:30:34,200 --> 01:30:35,235
Sorry?

1574
01:30:35,400 --> 01:30:38,676
I said, you don't need to get on
a plane. You're already miles away.

1575
01:30:39,280 --> 01:30:40,349
I was just thinking...

1576
01:30:40,520 --> 01:30:41,430
Really?

1577
01:30:45,800 --> 01:30:47,552
Ok.
From now on,

1578
01:30:47,720 --> 01:30:49,392
we are just two tourists

1579
01:30:49,560 --> 01:30:52,711
in an airport with the heaviest
rucksack I've ever seen.

1580
01:30:54,280 --> 01:30:55,633
What did you pack in here anyway?

1581
01:30:55,840 --> 01:30:58,513
Oh, you know, just the essentials.
A double bed, a cooker,

1582
01:30:58,680 --> 01:31:00,033
for making spaghetti

1583
01:31:00,200 --> 01:31:01,792
- and a couple of other things.
- Well, I hope

1584
01:31:01,960 --> 01:31:03,552
you didn't pack a single
one of your mystery novels.

1585
01:31:03,720 --> 01:31:04,391
Of course not!

1586
01:31:04,560 --> 01:31:07,313
No mystery novels,
no symbols, no Oxford.

1587
01:31:07,480 --> 01:31:09,118
We had a deal, remember?

1588
01:31:09,400 --> 01:31:10,833
You gonna be able to live like this?

1589
01:31:11,840 --> 01:31:12,909
Yes.

1590
01:31:13,080 --> 01:31:14,115
Just you and me.

1591
01:31:19,520 --> 01:31:20,430
Come on.

1592
01:31:28,920 --> 01:31:29,989
Thank you.

1593
01:31:38,680 --> 01:31:40,318
Can I have your
boarding pass, please?

1594
01:31:40,560 --> 01:31:41,709
He didn't know!

1595
01:31:42,040 --> 01:31:42,916
Martin?

1596
01:31:44,280 --> 01:31:45,269
That old fucker tricked me!

1597
01:31:46,880 --> 01:31:47,915
He didn't know
what the third symbol was!

1598
01:31:57,120 --> 01:31:58,189
My God!

1599
01:31:58,840 --> 01:32:00,432
You've got the pictures with you?

1600
01:32:01,800 --> 01:32:03,119
What is this?

1601
01:32:04,440 --> 01:32:05,316
"Kreis".

1602
01:32:08,680 --> 01:32:09,999
What is that?

1603
01:32:19,200 --> 01:32:22,078
She spent 3 years
deciphering German codes.

1604
01:32:22,240 --> 01:32:23,150
Excuse me, sir,
you can't do that here.

1605
01:32:23,320 --> 01:32:24,275
Of course!

1606
01:32:24,440 --> 01:32:26,590
Kreis is German for circle.

1607
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:28,433
He came up with it on the spot!

1608
01:33:06,160 --> 01:33:07,479
Have you been here before?

1609
01:33:09,520 --> 01:33:10,953
I never had a chance.

1610
01:33:12,760 --> 01:33:15,991
It would be a pity to leave the
country without seeing this place.

1611
01:33:17,760 --> 01:33:18,875
This is the largest

1612
01:33:19,040 --> 01:33:21,190
collection of fakes in the world.

1613
01:33:21,440 --> 01:33:23,078
Not even Michelangelo

1614
01:33:23,240 --> 01:33:25,470
can distinguish
this David from his original.

1615
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:30,151
Trajan's column
we believe to be in Rome,

1616
01:33:31,120 --> 01:33:35,432
but we are sure
that this is a common

1617
01:33:35,640 --> 01:33:37,596
plaster copy.

1618
01:33:38,680 --> 01:33:40,238
I feel at ease here.

1619
01:33:40,840 --> 01:33:42,876
No one tries to deceive me.

1620
01:33:43,480 --> 01:33:45,277
In effect, Martin,
this is the place

1621
01:33:45,440 --> 01:33:48,318
that contains the most truth
in the entire planet.

1622
01:33:49,480 --> 01:33:52,517
We have an absolute truth:

1623
01:33:53,640 --> 01:33:55,870
everything is fake.

1624
01:33:57,080 --> 01:33:58,832
Outside of these walls

1625
01:33:59,000 --> 01:34:00,956
nobody is sure of anything.

1626
01:34:03,800 --> 01:34:07,156
You took a big risk in giving me
a blank piece of paper.

1627
01:34:10,640 --> 01:34:13,837
That was important.
I had to convince you that I knew

1628
01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:16,798
what the sign was when, at
that moment, I wasn't at all sure.

1629
01:34:17,320 --> 01:34:19,276
I knew you wouldn't
let me down, Martin.

1630
01:34:19,440 --> 01:34:21,874
Your pride wouldn't let you open
this piece of paper

1631
01:34:22,040 --> 01:34:23,268
until you had
a solution of your own,

1632
01:34:23,440 --> 01:34:27,115
and that, if I might say,
was going to take some time.

1633
01:34:27,760 --> 01:34:29,478
There was no serial killer.

1634
01:34:30,160 --> 01:34:32,799
It was an invention,
just like Petersen said.

1635
01:34:33,280 --> 01:34:35,430
But it wasn't
the bus driver's invention.

1636
01:34:35,760 --> 01:34:36,749
It was yours.

1637
01:34:37,400 --> 01:34:40,517
You invented a series of killings
to hide the only real crime:

1638
01:34:41,080 --> 01:34:43,753
the death of Mrs. Eagleton.
Beth killed her,

1639
01:34:43,920 --> 01:34:46,195
just as the police had suspected
from the very beginning.

1640
01:34:51,320 --> 01:34:53,436
Beth hated her life.
She couldn't put up

1641
01:34:53,600 --> 01:34:55,397
with that woman any more
so she killed her.

1642
01:34:55,560 --> 01:34:57,471
That's when she sent you a note

1643
01:34:57,800 --> 01:34:59,119
asking for help.

1644
01:34:59,400 --> 01:35:01,277
I couldn't look her in the face.

1645
01:35:02,800 --> 01:35:04,950
It was my fault that her father
was killed in that accident

1646
01:35:05,120 --> 01:35:07,156
30 years ago.

1647
01:35:08,200 --> 01:35:09,758
I couldn't let her down again.

1648
01:35:09,920 --> 01:35:11,558
We both met at the door.

1649
01:35:11,880 --> 01:35:13,359
You'd come to get rid
of the evidence,

1650
01:35:13,520 --> 01:35:16,239
but I was there, in the way,
and that spoiled everything.

1651
01:35:17,520 --> 01:35:19,192
You had to come up with
a new plan, in front of me,

1652
01:35:19,360 --> 01:35:22,397
just moments before the police
arrived. You read the word

1653
01:35:22,560 --> 01:35:24,118
"circle" in German
on the Scrabble rack,

1654
01:35:24,280 --> 01:35:25,269
and that gave you the idea.

1655
01:35:26,800 --> 01:35:28,199
A series with
infinite possibilities.

1656
01:35:28,360 --> 01:35:29,998
But you needed a second death

1657
01:35:30,160 --> 01:35:32,435
to convince the police
that the murderer was not Beth.

1658
01:35:32,600 --> 01:35:34,397
And unwittingly, I helped you.

1659
01:35:36,280 --> 01:35:39,477
I gave you the idea of how
to do it, without even realising.

1660
01:35:39,800 --> 01:35:40,994
An imperceptible murder.

1661
01:35:41,360 --> 01:35:42,554
A murderer who only kills

1662
01:35:42,720 --> 01:35:43,630
someone who is at

1663
01:35:43,840 --> 01:35:44,989
death's door. You only had

1664
01:35:45,160 --> 01:35:47,515
to wait for the occasion
and prick the body with a syringe.

1665
01:35:47,960 --> 01:35:50,554
That's when you sent
the second message. The fish.

1666
01:35:51,320 --> 01:35:53,709
You still didn't know
where all this was going to lead.

1667
01:35:53,880 --> 01:35:56,792
The possibilities of continuing
the series were still infinite.

1668
01:35:56,960 --> 01:35:59,030
You had to wait for
another occasion to arise.

1669
01:35:59,200 --> 01:36:01,191
And that could take weeks, months.

1670
01:36:01,360 --> 01:36:02,554
There was no hurry.

1671
01:36:02,880 --> 01:36:05,394
You probably had a different plan
for the third death,

1672
01:36:05,600 --> 01:36:08,592
but that triangle player suddenly
appeared like a gift from the gods,

1673
01:36:09,520 --> 01:36:12,353
- and you had your solution.
- At first I rejected it.

1674
01:36:12,520 --> 01:36:13,714
Too many people, too operatic.

1675
01:36:14,920 --> 01:36:15,591
Don't lie.

1676
01:36:15,760 --> 01:36:16,670
You couldn't waste

1677
01:36:16,880 --> 01:36:18,029
a chance like that.

1678
01:36:18,440 --> 01:36:21,591
What's more, there was a triangle.
It all took on meaning!

1679
01:36:22,520 --> 01:36:25,193
Beautiful... It was as if
the damned Pythagoreans

1680
01:36:25,360 --> 01:36:26,793
were on your side.

1681
01:36:27,040 --> 01:36:29,679
It was perfect,
but what's more important,

1682
01:36:29,840 --> 01:36:31,558
it was totally inoffensive.

1683
01:36:31,880 --> 01:36:33,598
Until the madman appeared.

1684
01:36:34,360 --> 01:36:37,591
Any one of our acts can have
unexpected consequences.

1685
01:36:37,760 --> 01:36:38,875
That's what you most feared.

1686
01:36:40,120 --> 01:36:41,348
Who was to know that poor devil

1687
01:36:41,520 --> 01:36:43,511
was going to read
the article in the paper?

1688
01:36:43,680 --> 01:36:46,353
He was looking for a solution
to his daughter's problem,

1689
01:36:46,600 --> 01:36:49,319
while every day he drove to school
those healthy children

1690
01:36:49,480 --> 01:36:51,675
with perfect lungs
but damaged brains.

1691
01:36:52,200 --> 01:36:54,236
Why did they deserve to live
and not his daughter?

1692
01:36:54,720 --> 01:36:58,508
Mathematicians are not the only ones
familiar with the Greeks, professor.

1693
01:36:58,720 --> 01:37:01,792
You gave him his solution
when you published the series.

1694
01:37:01,960 --> 01:37:04,076
He also wanted to hide his crime.

1695
01:37:04,360 --> 01:37:06,555
He only had to make
a phone call, and he did.

1696
01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:19,149
So...

1697
01:37:20,840 --> 01:37:22,239
you think I'm the killer.

1698
01:37:23,160 --> 01:37:24,195
No.

1699
01:37:24,480 --> 01:37:26,118
You haven't killed anyone,

1700
01:37:26,640 --> 01:37:30,235
but you're guilty of provoking the
deaths of those innocent children.

1701
01:37:30,920 --> 01:37:32,717
You're guilty of arrogance,

1702
01:37:33,000 --> 01:37:35,673
of using us all like
pieces on a board game.

1703
01:37:36,720 --> 01:37:38,551
Who the hell do you think you are?

1704
01:37:41,440 --> 01:37:45,228
I hope my failure has, at least,
served to teach you something.

1705
01:37:47,120 --> 01:37:48,872
Yes, one thing.

1706
01:37:49,600 --> 01:37:51,591
One very painful thing.

1707
01:37:52,480 --> 01:37:54,277
Numbers also lie.

1708
01:37:54,720 --> 01:37:57,598
The truth is not mathematical,
as I once believed.

1709
01:37:58,000 --> 01:38:00,434
It's absurd, confused, random,

1710
01:38:00,600 --> 01:38:02,989
disorderly, and deeply unpleasant.

1711
01:38:03,800 --> 01:38:07,236
I'm glad that finally we can agree
on something, Martin, my friend.

1712
01:38:08,120 --> 01:38:10,270
Just one thing has escaped you.

1713
01:38:14,720 --> 01:38:16,278
The real culprit.

1714
01:38:17,880 --> 01:38:20,758
The one who triggered off
this whole string of crimes.

1715
01:38:20,920 --> 01:38:22,239
Who?

1716
01:38:22,400 --> 01:38:23,515
You, Martin.

1717
01:38:24,680 --> 01:38:25,829
Don't make me laugh.

1718
01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:28,275
If you don't believe me,
then speak to Beth.

1719
01:38:29,120 --> 01:38:30,678
She was in love with you,

1720
01:38:31,520 --> 01:38:33,078
or weren't you aware of that?

1721
01:38:34,400 --> 01:38:36,994
She remembered
your words exactly.

1722
01:38:38,600 --> 01:38:40,192
"You should try it."

1723
01:38:40,760 --> 01:38:43,911
"You should try it,"
pounded time and again

1724
01:38:44,080 --> 01:38:45,957
inside her head, like a hammer.

1725
01:38:47,000 --> 01:38:49,195
"You should be free, like me."

1726
01:38:51,520 --> 01:38:53,397
That's what she understood,

1727
01:38:54,760 --> 01:38:56,318
and that's what she did.

1728
01:38:57,680 --> 01:39:00,513
Put an end to what
prevented her from being free...

1729
01:39:03,840 --> 01:39:05,512
her own mother.

1730
01:39:06,840 --> 01:39:07,829
The butterfly

1731
01:39:09,240 --> 01:39:11,708
that flutters its wings
and causes a hurricane

1732
01:39:11,880 --> 01:39:13,757
on the other side of the world.

1733
01:39:16,160 --> 01:39:17,832
Sound familiar?

1734
01:39:20,640 --> 01:39:23,007
Are you that butterfly, Martin?

1735
01:40:23,608 --> 01:40:24,608
