00:00What is it that ages a man? Is it simply time? Or the accumulation of life's triumphs and defeats?
00:15Edward George Eden, a medical student of 21 years, studying at University College.
00:30By all accounts, a bright and ambitious young man with a promising future, but one whose
00:41present is beset by financial frustrations. It was on the Tuesday of the first week of
00:49May, having decided to take his boots to the cobblers, that Eden first encountered the
00:56creature with whom his life was to become so inextricably entangled.
01:05How do you do, Mr. Eden?
01:09Very well, thank you. You have the advantage of me, sir.
01:13I do indeed. I wonder who the deuce I am, huh? A friend. Let me assure you, a friend.
01:23Might I talk to you inside? I have difficulty standing for long periods.
01:30I'm afraid my room isn't done. It is perhaps less than you're used to.
01:34Well, Mr. Eden, why not come and lunch with me and hear a proposition to your advantage?
01:42Proposition? I'm not sure I...
01:44Come. Surely my grey hairs must earn me a certain civility.
01:51I've been coming to Blavitisky's for longer than I can remember.
02:08Marvellous food. I wish I could still taste it.
02:13Please eat. Eat, eat.
02:17Now, as you see, Mr. Eden, I'm an old man.
02:20I believe I've had a life of some distinction and many men would not recognise my name.
02:27But I fancy that you may.
02:34Egbert Elvesham.
02:37Elvesham, the philosopher?
02:40Of course, sir. I've known your name since I was a schoolboy.
02:44This is a genuine honour.
02:46My doctor informs me that I shall be shortly leaving this world.
02:54And I find I have much to leave behind, you know.
02:58Now, as to what should happen to my estate,
03:02all I really want is an heir.
03:08An heir?
03:09Young fellow.
03:10Perhaps twenty-one or thereabouts.
03:14Pure-hearted.
03:16Healthy in body and healthy in mind.
03:19Poor but quick-witted and ambitious.
03:24You, Miss Reden, may inherit all that I have.
03:31You may be lifted from penniless struggle
03:35to security, freedom and influence.
03:39You, young sir, meet all my requirements.
03:53Of course, there are strict conditions to be imposed.
03:57Certain burdens.
03:59What kind of burdens?
04:01You would have to change your name by deed poll
04:04To Egbert Elvesham.
04:06No.
04:08No.
04:10When my parents died, all they left me was my name.
04:15I understand.
04:18Unfortunately, my heir must adopt my name.
04:22And I'm not too downhearted.
04:23I have another two possible candidates for the position of heir.
04:30Please, please forgive my vanity.
04:33Naturally, if you were to select me, I would have, of course,
04:36honour your legacy with your name.
04:37Oh.
04:39Ah.
04:43You must at first submit to a series of exhaustive medical examinations
04:50to determine your physical and mental durability.
04:53To think, sir, how you might enjoy all that I have accumulated
04:59Fills me with envy.
05:01Envy.
05:32Yes, sir, you must.
05:33When you are there on the phone, you are the only one.
05:38I am not sure.
05:40What the
05:43Despite all assurances, despite Eden having already taken Elvesham's name,
05:49the old man did not come to a final decision for another two weeks.
05:53Mr. Elfsham
06:02Is everything quite all right?
06:05Indeed it is
06:06Everything is most satisfactory
06:08This day I signed a new will
06:11Which you are named
06:13As sole beneficiary
06:15My entire estate
06:18Will be inherited by you
06:19Mr. Eden
06:20Or should I say
06:22Mr. Elfsham
06:24I shall do my very best
06:27To be worthy of your memory
06:28Come, come
06:30This night of all nights
06:32You must dine with me
06:33And celebrate your accession
06:36And here
06:38You won't have to wait
06:40Very long
06:48What a capacity for living you have
06:51I, thanks to you
06:53I have a future of a passing
06:57Agreeable sort
06:59But you
07:01You have a past full of honour
07:05And distinction
07:06Such a past is worth all my future
07:10But would you
07:12In truth
07:13Willingly take my years
07:15With your achievements
07:19Indeed so
07:21Perhaps
07:25A cure with a sweet kiss
07:38Of caraway
07:40And cumin
07:42However
07:43Here
07:44Here
07:48What is it?
07:54Pharmaceutical blend
07:56Prepared to my own specifications
08:01A dash of this
08:03And kumul is himul
08:07Heaven
08:09Oh and I think I perhaps
08:15Or not
08:16I
08:16I'll never nose with these things
08:18Come
08:18If it's safe enough
08:20For a man of my infirmity
08:22How could it impair
08:25A healthy young man
08:26Such as yourself
08:27To a quick succession
08:32Not that
08:35Surely not that
08:36To a long life
08:39To a long life
08:42The first touch of the liquor
08:54Upon Eden's tongue
08:56Set his brain into a dazzling chaos
08:59I
09:07Want
09:08To thank you
09:09What a handsome young man
09:11Like you
09:12I expect you've made love
09:14To a string of girls
09:16A string of girls
09:18A string of girls
09:19A string of girls
09:20A string of girls
09:21A string of girls
09:22I've just cast a made love
09:23To one
09:23This is
09:25This is not a world
09:28Where girls seek out
09:29Penniless medical students
09:33No more than a flock around
09:36Aged's philosophers
09:37But now
09:42With your
09:44Or your
09:45Legacy
09:47Things will be
09:48Things will be different
09:50I'll easily find a good woman
09:54Too early to settle down
09:56For now
09:58Have as many women
09:59As you can
10:01Imagine the sensual opulence
10:06Of bedding down
10:07With a woman
10:08And a man
10:10Why not?
10:17Why not experience
10:18All the pleasures
10:20Life has to offer
10:22I should go
10:26I should go
10:27It's time to go now
10:29Good to watch
10:30Right
10:31No
10:32Your head will be
10:37Splitting in the morning
10:39Dissolve these salts
10:42In quarter before bed
10:43It will completely
10:44Becure your head
10:46Oh
10:46Here
10:47Now
10:48Thank you
10:51Thank you
10:52Not long
10:54May you shall have
10:55All that is mine
10:57Remember
10:59Take the salts
11:01Just before bed
11:02Dear William, sir
11:05Yes
11:05Farewell
11:08Soon be away from this
11:36Soon
11:37Thanks
11:49Lord

12:06The following morning, he awoke abruptly from a dream.
12:25His mind felt stale, and for some while, he hadn't a clue where he was.
12:29Good morning, Mr. Elversham.
12:39I'm not... not Elversham. I'm Eden. I'm Eden.
12:44I beg your pardon, sir.
12:46I'm not Elversham. I'm Eden.
12:49I'm Eden!
12:52I'm not Elversham!
12:56I'm Edward Elversham!
12:59I'm Eden. I'm Eden! I'm Eden!
13:21I'm Eden!
13:24Although he couldn't even faintly comprehend how it had happened,
13:32Edward Eden had fallen asleep in his own room, age 21,
13:37and awoke the next morning in the house of Mr. Egbert Elversham,
13:42in the 80-year-old body of Egbert Elversham.
13:45Elversham, have you banged your head recently and had a fall?
13:51No, it's nothing like that.
13:54Listen, my name is Edward Eden.
13:58Your name is Egbert Elversham.
14:02Your man Harris said you've forgotten his name, too.
14:05Look, I haven't forgotten it. I never knew it!
14:08No bruising. Have, um, have you been drinking?
14:13Look, some champagne, liqueur.
14:16Look, I know you don't know me, but...
14:19Oh, no, you...
14:21Egbert, I've been your physician for nearly 30 years.
14:25Oh, no, listen. I know I look like Elversham.
14:29I know I sound like him.
14:31But my name is Edward George Eden.
14:35I'm 21 years old.
14:36I'm a medical student.
14:38I met Elversham for the first time just a few weeks ago.
14:48If I might ask, doctor...
14:51I fear...
14:53I fear it may be a softening of the faculties.
14:57Oh.
14:57I think it wiser's to ensure he stays safely inside his room.
15:02Of course.
15:13It seemed clear to Eden that...
15:16just as he had found himself trapped in Elversham's weak and aged body...
15:20so Elversham must now be in possession of his body,
15:24his strength,
15:25and his future.
15:26Oh, yeah.
15:30This kid is so smart.
15:32I'm going to swim for the news now.
15:34Oh.
15:38Oh.
15:40Oh.
15:42Oh.
15:45Oh.
15:46Oh.
15:47Oh.
15:48Oh.
15:49Oh.
15:50Oh.
15:51Oh.
15:52Oh.
15:53Oh.
15:54Oh.
15:54Oh.
15:55Oh.
15:56Oh.
16:23Oh.
16:24Oh, my God.
16:54It was in this moment that Eden realized the immense intelligence and scope of his enemy's plan.
17:15There were manuscripts concerning pure mathematics, chemistry, and the psychology of memory.
17:25Eden was convinced that the secret to reverse in the terrible mind transference lay somewhere in Elversham's box.
17:35He was correct.
17:37The solution was indeed there.
17:39Yet to discover it could take a lifetime.
17:44And Eden no longer had a lifetime.
17:46Oh, my God.
18:16Oh, my God.
18:17My God.

19:31PHONE RINGS
19:38After this, you're going to buy me that bracelet.
19:58You did promise.
20:00Don't make a word I made it, my dear.
20:05But first, I think I'll take you back to the hotel.
20:10Are you sure there's time?
20:12I have time to spare, my dear.
20:14I knew you'd be here.
20:19Can I help you?
20:20Yes.
20:21Indeed, you could join me in a toast.
20:24To call, if you please.
20:26How rude.
20:27I fear the man is quite mad.
20:28So I'm not insane, sir.
20:30After the morbid rigmarole you've subjected me to.
20:34Excuse me, my friend and I are engaged in a private conversation.
20:38You, sir, are a thief.
20:40You've robbed me of my life.
20:42What on earth are you talking about?
20:44I've never heard such rot.
20:46Now, drink me.
20:50I'll do no such thing.
20:53Drink, damn you!
20:55This is becoming quite tiresome.
20:57Come.
20:58Come, my dear.
20:59Let's go see about that bracelet.
21:01Help!
21:02Help!
21:03Help!
21:04Help!
21:05Help!
21:06Help!
21:07Help!
21:08Help!
21:14In that moment of anger, Eden had destroyed his only chance of escape.
21:28How must it feel to be young and full of the vitality and energy and desire of youth?
21:54And then, to suddenly fall right through your life and come to decrepitude.
22:01To know you are a young man, but to find yourself locked away inside an old man's body.
22:10But then, perhaps, that is how all men feel when they reach the end of their days.
22:24Check out how Deg Protein is quite weak, or if they'll be flush with her.
22:27When we've made a right a date at the end of our life and getting away in the distance,
22:29all of ourrals in our nights, we feel busy waiting for a night for every decade.
22:30We have to pray and drive together in love around to our maladies.
22:32It's very hard for all to be known as Father Jesus.
22:33We have to 34 Wafer.
22:34Welez might be able to do its own man's body.
22:35You have to be a day by care from morning and serves or any family.
22:36Have come!
22:37You have to arrive every day to live while we live after the night with our confrontations.
