00:00:15Harry?
00:00:17Are you there, Harry?
00:00:21Harry?
00:00:23Can you hear me?
00:00:31One way or another, we all want to escape.
00:00:39When daily life binds us,
00:00:42We need to distance ourselves from it.
00:00:44to escape boredom,
00:00:47pain,
00:00:49of fear.
00:00:52But not me.
00:00:55It is fear that makes me feel alive.
00:01:00Unlike the others,
00:01:01I am not trying to escape from life.
00:01:06I escaped death.
00:01:09Quite a way to make a living.
00:01:10...
00:01:15...
00:01:22...
00:01:59It is said that when you are about to die, you see your life flash before your eyes.
00:02:06My name is Eric Weiss, but it's been a long time since anyone called me that.
00:02:12I can free myself from almost any restraint, handcuffs, straitjackets, all I have to do is ask.
00:02:18But the one thing I can't escape is myself.
00:02:24Harry, are you there, Harry?
00:02:32Harry?
00:02:36Can you hear me?
00:02:37I am the great Houdini!
00:02:51Harry?
00:02:53Harry?
00:02:54where?
00:02:57?
00:02:57...
00:03:28...
00:04:11It was that year, 17 years before I jumped off that bridge, that everything changed.
00:04:16Where are the handcuffs?
00:04:20We are the ones who put on the show.
00:04:22You are late.
00:04:23Yes, sorry, we got lost, it's our fault, we are really sorry.
00:04:34Until then, my wife, Bess, and I performed as magicians on the back roads of the
00:04:38'America.
00:04:39You signed up with a whore.
00:04:42What if we went upstairs?
00:04:45We're leaving, we're not playing here.
00:04:46They hired us.
00:04:47I'm withdrawing. Let's get back on the road, guys.
00:04:49No, no, no, no, we must...
00:04:50Ladies and gentlemen, the great Houdini will escape from this trunk before your very eyes, bound with his sturdy handcuffs.
00:04:59Ah, yeah.
00:05:01And there's no doubt they're rigged.
00:05:04It's true.
00:05:05If anyone in the audience has another pair of handcuffs, I assure you I would be delighted.
00:05:14Here's one.
00:05:25May I ask how it came about that you are in possession of...
00:05:28I'm in the police force.
00:05:31Forget your trunk.
00:05:35And try to remove that.
00:05:43I'm in the police force.
00:06:35Is that okay with you?
00:06:39He's not a possible god.
00:06:45From that moment on, I was no longer a magician like the others.
00:06:48I had become someone else.
00:06:51An escape artist.
00:06:56So, I'm going to present an act that seemed to impress the crowds.
00:07:20And if I did it without the clothes, he went completely crazy.
00:07:26I don't know anymore, not a magician like Lesnications.
00:07:29I have nothing left.
00:07:36I don't know anymore, it's in 秒.
00:07:42So, I have more 對, after all this time.
00:07:44I don't remember what it is.
00:07:45All I have left is estiona.
00:08:04Have you been drinking, my love?
00:08:07Just one glass.
00:08:09Whiskey stinks.
00:08:11Why are you making such a big deal out of it? It's just a glass of nothing.
00:08:19Oh, Harry.
00:08:20What, my baby?
00:08:23We've been on the road for almost two years.
00:08:27Isn't it time we put down our bags?
00:08:29Honey, I'm not going back to making ties in a dingy workshop.
00:08:35Nor should I become a locksmith.
00:08:39I refuse to live like my father.
00:08:42I want to leave a mark.
00:08:47I loved my father.
00:08:50But...
00:08:52He was nobody.
00:08:54And I don't want to be like him.
00:08:57Just disappear.
00:09:02Unless a million people are watching me do it.
00:09:07For as long as I can remember, I've always wanted to escape.
00:09:13My brother Dash and I would go out whenever we had the chance.
00:09:16And we would go see the traveling shows that passed through Appleton.
00:09:28That will make good meat for my dogs.
00:09:31I'm warning you, what follows could be even more outlandish.
00:09:38Dash couldn't watch.
00:09:39But I was hypnotized.
00:09:43Fascinated by illusion.
00:09:45Now I'm going to need the help of a spectator.
00:09:48Why not you, young man?
00:09:51Me ?
00:09:52Yes, please get in.
00:09:56Now, you're going to help me move this table.
00:09:59All right.
00:09:59This is a delicate moment.
00:10:03Oh, I think she's dead.
00:10:05What if you tickle her to see?
00:10:06Yes, okay.
00:10:10Praise be to God.
00:10:11Let's put the pieces back together.
00:10:13One two three.
00:10:15So.
00:10:19Applause for my young assistant.
00:10:22And suddenly, with a simple snap of the fingers, I had become somebody.
00:10:26A boy who knows no fear.
00:10:28I finally knew where I was going.
00:10:30And magic was my passport.
00:10:37No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:11:10Mommy, mommy.
00:11:15Look what I have, Mom.
00:11:19Take it, it's real.
00:11:21Look, you've got another one there.
00:11:23I won it through magic.
00:11:27Mom, shake me.
00:11:28Shake me.
00:11:29Louder, louder.
00:11:32It's all less stronger.
00:11:33If it hadn't been for my mother, I would have done nothing with my life.
00:11:36Easy money, Mom.
00:11:39One day, they will be made of gold, Mom.
00:11:41Eric, mein Herz.
00:11:43She always believed in me.
00:12:07That's all.
00:12:10Halloween, Dad. We're supposed to give something.
00:12:12You're not bad, Steve.
00:12:17Erich!
00:12:23Erich! Dad's going to say the word. Come down.
00:12:27We'll get this up before Dad sees it.
00:12:29Listen. A magician isn't really a magician.
00:12:32He's an actor pretending to be a magician.
00:12:34An actor?
00:12:35Oh, Erich.
00:12:3650 years ago, Robert Houdin was the greatest magician of all time.
00:12:39That's going to be me. Houdini.
00:12:42Der Schleck der Kinder.
00:12:44Kinder, ich habe echt gesucht.
00:12:46Where is Wegening?
00:12:49Good evening.
00:12:50You have one minute, we need to talk to you.
00:12:52There's a problem.
00:13:04You have been our rabbi for six years now
00:13:06And you still don't speak the language.
00:13:08With all due respect, Rabbi Weiss,
00:13:11We're not in Budapest.
00:13:12We are in Wisconsin
00:13:13And that is why we will not be able to keep you as rabbi any longer.
00:13:21Some things can hurt you more
00:13:23than any punch.
00:13:31I did everything I could to never be that weak.
00:13:35I have accomplished impossible escapes throughout my life.
00:13:38But the most beautiful of all,
00:13:39It was about managing to escape from Appleton,
00:13:42in Wisconsin.
00:13:45My Eskimo won't last.
00:13:47But I learned my trade before returning to my family in Brooklyn.
00:13:50My father died shortly afterwards.
00:13:52I teamed up with Dash
00:13:54to provide for mom's needs
00:13:55thanks to the meager income from our new magic act.
00:13:58Not so spectacular.
00:13:59Come closer, all of you.
00:14:01Prepare to be captivated by the Houdini brothers.
00:14:04Excuse me, sir, may I borrow your hat?
00:14:06For what ?
00:14:07And I will give you back your watch.
00:14:10Now, give me your hat.
00:14:13THANKS.
00:14:13Would you mind checking if there's anything inside?
00:14:23Take a map, any map.
00:14:26Six of spades.
00:14:38The only thing even more devastating
00:14:40than a punch to the stomach,
00:14:42It's an arrow straight to the heart.
00:14:45And I didn't even see it coming.
00:15:14So, this Hungarian duke had designs on my mother.
00:15:17And my father challenged the duke to a duel, okay?
00:15:22The duke was hit in the head by the bullet.
00:15:23Finished.
00:15:24My father had to flee to save his life
00:15:26And that's how my whole family ended up in America.
00:15:30It's very romantic.
00:15:32Yeah.
00:15:33And then he died.
00:15:35Poor man.
00:15:37Is Harry Houdini your real name?
00:15:41It has become so.
00:15:44If we were talking about you,
00:15:46those two other girls you sing with,
00:15:48Are they really your sisters?
00:15:49No, we've only been singing together for a few months.
00:15:52Yeah.
00:15:54Choose a hand.
00:15:56No, no, not that one.
00:16:00Here, this is for you.
00:16:05That's cute.
00:16:07We'll have to do better than that
00:16:09if you want to become the greatest magician in the world.
00:16:11Yeah ?
00:16:14What do you think of that?
00:16:19time.
00:16:32What are you not saying?
00:16:35That's not what it is
00:16:35period.
00:16:35than anything else, it's even worse.
00:16:36någonting davul n' Entonces if you have parites
00:16:37Okay.
00:16:37I hope to do better than that, it's good that you know it.
00:16:38Thanks even more for simplifying.
00:16:39What if it were even more intrinsic than that?
00:16:46Blow on it.
00:16:58Look, let it fly away.
00:17:06Bess Ranner, will you marry me?
00:17:13You married a Jew.
00:17:15You stay a week in Konaïlande and you marry a Jew.
00:17:20Get out of that house and never set foot in it again.
00:17:23You'll go straight to hell.
00:17:34Honey, what have you done? Where have your curls gone?
00:17:37It's a wig, Harry.
00:17:41I hadn't seen it.
00:17:43It's very pretty.
00:17:49Sing this song for me.
00:17:53What, here?
00:17:54Yes, that's it. I'm your audience. Sing it for me.
00:18:00Rosy, sweet Rosabelle
00:18:05I love her more than I can tell
00:18:10For me, she casts a spell
00:18:16My charming black-eyed sweet Rosabelle
00:18:29That's great.
00:18:31I'm going to show you something.
00:18:36Harry, what are you doing?
00:18:41Harry?
00:18:42Go in, go in there.
00:18:43Go ahead.
00:18:46Squat down, come on.
00:18:47You're perfect, I knew it.
00:18:49Harry?
00:18:49Dash is much too big.
00:18:51Watch your head.
00:18:53Harry!
00:18:54Ouch!
00:18:55Now, lift the latch.
00:18:56What are you doing ?
00:18:57It's right there, in the middle.
00:18:58This is our night of nine.
00:18:58Do you find it?
00:18:59What? Where?
00:19:00It's right there. Push it.
00:19:02Hi !
00:19:04Harry!
00:19:05You've lost your mind, damn it.
00:19:07Don't talk like that, darling.
00:19:11And you don't have to wear as much makeup.
00:19:12When you're not on stage?
00:19:13You're too pretty, you don't need it.
00:19:17What can we do for your brother?
00:19:19He will understand.
00:19:20He'll understand, he knows he's too old
00:19:22to get in.
00:19:23You know what I was thinking?
00:19:24We don't even have to change the stage name.
00:19:28The Houdini.
00:19:42Can I get my key back now?
00:19:46THANKS.
00:20:08Mrs. Houdini.
00:20:13Bess and I hit the road
00:20:14with our new circle
00:20:17of eccentric companions.
00:20:49Look at this.
00:20:50All the brothers join forces
00:20:51to perform tricks
00:20:52with handcuffs.
00:20:53Including my own brother.
00:20:55None of them are as good as you.
00:20:56Yes, but nobody cares.
00:20:58The public gets bored quickly.
00:21:01I wonder
00:21:02if I could make disappear
00:21:02an elephant.
00:21:05An elephant?
00:21:10To really make a big impact,
00:21:12the scene needed to be turned upside down
00:21:13in real life.
00:21:15Come on, sheriff.
00:21:16What do you have to lose?
00:21:18I'm not locking anyone up
00:21:18who did not break the law.
00:21:20Or perhaps you don't have
00:21:21completely confident
00:21:22In your prison, eh, sheriff?
00:21:26So, good luck, sir.
00:21:28The king of escape.
00:21:29It's a university town.
00:21:31If I did that,
00:21:31all students
00:21:32would like to do the same thing.
00:21:33I didn't have the means
00:21:34to pay for advertising.
00:21:35So I used
00:21:36these gurus of mass entertainment,
00:21:38the press,
00:21:39to spread the rumor.
00:21:40Not if you tell them
00:21:41that a deposit must be paid first.
00:21:43$100.
00:21:45In cash.
00:21:45I swear to you
00:21:47that you will not remember
00:21:47The incomparable Houdini.
00:21:49Quote me.
00:21:49Harry, that's all our savings.
00:21:51$100.
00:21:52They are yours.
00:21:53No longer the right to...
00:21:55punch me.
00:21:58I know you're itching to do it.
00:22:03Come on.
00:22:09Come on, sheriff.
00:22:10Let off some steam.
00:22:17As the saying goes,
00:22:18what doesn't kill you
00:22:19makes you stronger.
00:22:21We're never at the end
00:22:22of these surprises.
00:22:25You noted it.
00:22:29I'm going to search your pockets.
00:22:32Always sure of wanting
00:22:34Give it a shot, Sheriff?
00:22:36This will be your field of the sign.
00:22:39Harry.
00:22:45This will bring good luck.
00:22:46Thank you, Sheriff.
00:22:48Hey.
00:22:49Open your mouth.
00:22:54One last thing.
00:22:56Either you escape,
00:22:57either I keep you all night
00:22:59for disturbing public order.
00:23:01Yeah, that works for me.
00:23:02Everyone is asleep.
00:23:03All right.
00:23:18This kiss was repeated
00:23:20throughout the country.
00:23:24Oscar Wilde,
00:23:25Cy Young,
00:23:26John Philip Sousa,
00:23:27I was more famous than them.
00:23:30Newspapers coming soon
00:23:30no longer considered me
00:23:31like a public entertainer.
00:23:32They gave me another nickname.
00:23:38But no matter how much I was
00:23:39increasingly famous,
00:23:40it was always
00:23:40that my next escape
00:23:41or even more spectacular.
00:23:45I also knew
00:23:46that during all this time,
00:23:47someone was keeping a record
00:23:49of all my front pages.
00:24:10More and more.
00:24:34Quite impressive
00:24:35Latest trend
00:24:36The New York police have the same
00:24:37Commissioner Rowan has a pair
00:24:39He thinks you want to move to Chicago
00:24:40You are all united
00:24:42Look at that
00:24:43It's a rounded key
00:24:48I had never seen one before.
00:24:49I designed it myself.
00:24:51Did you make it yourself?
00:24:52In my own workshop
00:24:54Look, we're hiding it in a sleeve
00:24:55Do you see?
00:24:57Amazing
00:24:59And your other thing?
00:25:05It looks just like a normal wire
00:25:06Completely flexible
00:25:07But in fact, he has times
00:25:09It's a saw
00:25:15You threw your chair into the sea
00:25:17And what's your name?
00:25:19Jim
00:25:21Jim Collins from Mekon, Georgia
00:25:22That's where I saw you
00:25:23Ah yes, Georgia
00:25:25You changed my life
00:25:30Jim
00:25:32Do you think you could make an elephant disappear?
00:25:34Gentlemen?
00:25:35Or get me out of a block of ice
00:25:38I'll make you stop a rifle bullet
00:25:41Harry
00:25:42We only have the morning.
00:25:44Give me
00:25:45Time for the elephant
00:25:47You have all the time you want
00:25:48You work for me
00:25:52Sold ?
00:25:53Sold
00:25:58Darling
00:26:00It's Jim
00:26:01Delighted to meet you
00:26:03Amazing
00:26:05My dear mother
00:26:06I have a nice surprise in store for you next week.
00:26:10I'd like to be there when you see her.
00:26:12But these days
00:26:13I am a little
00:26:14Blocked
00:26:15I don't know how they do it in Detroit
00:26:18Mr. Houdini
00:26:20But here
00:26:21In Chicago
00:26:22When you chain up a man
00:26:24We make sure that nothing remains
00:26:26A good while
00:26:28Yeah
00:26:29I've heard this speech many times.
00:26:31Chief
00:26:31Are you having fun?
00:26:33Go for it, guys!
00:26:35Take him away now
00:26:41Hey, come here
00:26:42Nice photo
00:26:48GOOD
00:26:50So, just in case
00:26:54So
00:26:56The little bird is going to come out
00:27:02Okay, sir
00:27:03Now, I think I'll leave you to your prayers.
00:27:12Here we go
00:27:13Come on
00:27:15Come on, get out
00:27:19Come on, move forward.
00:27:22From the broom
00:27:42Houdini
00:27:43Houdini
00:28:06What do you think, huh?
00:28:07No, not with you as the shooter.
00:28:09That's out of the question.
00:28:12So, where is he?
00:28:13Let me see
00:28:14Does that intrigue you?
00:28:15Eh ?
00:28:17As soon as I saw him
00:28:19Bing!
00:28:20That's you
00:28:21You are in the water
00:28:22I knew
00:28:23That it was going to change my life
00:28:25Forever
00:28:40My dear mother
00:28:41We've come a long way since Appleton in Wisconsin
00:28:45Welcome to Brooklyn
00:28:47In the house you've always deserved
00:28:52Welcome
00:29:04I love Chicago
00:29:06We are fully booked for the next six months.
00:29:09And then, back to New York
00:29:10Otherwise, the theater over there will sue us.
00:29:12That's good, between
00:29:15Two more, boss
00:29:16Hey
00:29:18Good job tonight, Jim
00:29:20THANKS
00:29:20THANKS
00:29:23That's my mother
00:29:25Happy birthday, Meinheil
00:29:26She never forgot
00:29:27What's that one?
00:29:31You never know what to expect.
00:29:33It's what ?
00:29:34Honey, we're going to need passports.
00:29:37Martin Beck is organizing a European tour for us.
00:29:39In Europe?
00:29:40Yeah
00:29:41We'll be able to perform in front of kings and loads of aristocrats this fall.
00:29:45What ?
00:29:46What's going on?
00:29:49No, we've never been to Europe.
00:29:50No, but you'd never been to Chicago either, and you love it.
00:29:54I was born in Europe, it's not so bad
00:29:56Here we are, this is our moment of glory, Jim
00:29:58You are going to be the greatest magician in the world
00:30:01Don't say magician
00:30:02I am a master of escape
00:30:04It's true
00:30:05All right
00:30:05A master of escape
00:30:07Speaking of escape
00:30:14Don't tell me you have it
00:30:17Come
00:30:31So, huh?
00:30:51Let me try
00:30:52NOW ?
00:30:53Boss, you've just given three performances, you're tired
00:30:57We'll squeeze them tomorrow
00:30:58I will have assistants
00:31:00NOW
00:31:06All right
00:31:15Okay, let's bring it down
00:31:16Go ahead, gently
00:31:22Lock the top
00:31:36Something's wrong
00:31:38Put it back together!
00:31:39But sleep there!
00:31:42PULL !
00:31:43Faster!
00:31:44It's stuck!
00:31:46Hey !
00:31:47Put it back together!
00:31:56Take it out!
00:31:58Take it out!
00:32:00Break it, quickly!
00:32:01Break it, quickly!
00:32:02Attention !
00:32:03Keep going!
00:32:04Come!
00:32:20Boss !
00:32:22Boss !
00:32:23Harry!
00:32:25Harry!
00:32:26Harry!
00:32:26Harry!
00:32:32Fantastic
00:32:37Ladies and Gentlemen
00:32:38How long can a man hold his breath?
00:32:42We'll try it out and see.
00:32:46When I reach three
00:32:48Try to hold your breath, ladies and gentlemen.
00:32:51A
00:32:53Two
00:32:54Three
00:33:00As you can see, the seconds pass very slowly.
00:33:05In the meantime, I'm going to undress.
00:33:12My ankles will be securely fastened in this rock-solid block.
00:33:16Prepare it
00:33:19After being immobilized, I will be submerged.
00:33:21Headfirst into the Chinese torture cell
00:33:25And present behind the scenes was Captain O.R. of the Chicago Fire Department.
00:33:28With an axe, in case things go wrong
00:33:32Because, let's face it, ladies and gentlemen
00:33:34That remains a possibility.
00:33:48And it's time, guys
00:34:14The only way to conquer death is to put your life in danger
00:34:36But why did I feel such a desire to conquer death? What was it that I
00:34:41Were you trying to escape?
00:34:45Bring the screen
00:34:48One minute
00:35:13Two minutes
00:35:41Three minutes

00:37:12MFP subtitles.
00:37:12He is paid more than the president.
00:37:14But in the end, it's just...
00:37:16He's just a magician, not...
00:37:18Well, what better cover than one by an international artist?
00:37:21A personality, if you'll excuse the term.
00:37:23to whom all doors are opened.
00:37:26God only knows what the Kaiser is planning for us.
00:37:28We don't know.
00:37:30It would be really useful to have a man
00:37:32who can approach this unpredictable mind.
00:37:35What else do you know?
00:37:36Houdini is very devoted to his mother.
00:37:38He sent her money every week, even when he was poor.
00:37:41Lately, the amounts of his checks have been colossal.
00:37:44I like men who take care of their mothers.
00:37:47Contact Melville.
00:37:49Fix that.
00:37:51Long before the world knew,
00:37:52America had allied itself with England
00:37:54in order to keep an eye on the growing threat
00:37:57that Germany represented.
00:37:58An eye we weren't expecting.
00:38:00Mine.
00:38:02Thus, one of the strangest illusions
00:38:04that I've never been asked to realize
00:38:06It was done within the framework of what was called espionage.
00:38:09Not a bad idea, since magicians never reveal their secrets.
00:38:13I suppose you were not followed, Mr. Houdini.
00:38:16I made sure that wasn't the case, as you asked me to.
00:38:23Your country needs you.
00:38:25Come alone.
00:38:27What a production!
00:38:29You were recommended to us by John Wilkie.
00:38:32Never heard of it.
00:38:33Which is perfectly normal,
00:38:35He is the director of the American secret service.
00:38:37I am Sir William Melville.
00:38:39his British counterpart from MI5.
00:38:41Delighted.
00:38:42May I have this?
00:38:51Oh, I'd love for you to give me your secret.
00:38:56You mean you want me to...
00:38:58Just keep your eyes and ears open, that's all.
00:39:01This is important.
00:39:03If war were declared,
00:39:04The United States would be gnawing at the British.
00:39:06What you will learn
00:39:08could help us delay the war.
00:39:11Perhaps even avoid it.
00:39:13Of course, you will never be able to reveal your activity.
00:39:15But you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you have served.
00:39:19Perhaps you even saved your country.
00:39:23It's a heavy task for a certain good...
00:39:25By the way, we took the liberty of modifying your passport.
00:39:29Why? Wasn't the old one working?
00:39:30We've slightly changed your place of birth, my dear.
00:39:38Appleton, Wisconsin.
00:39:39The Kaiser only has one good arm, as you probably know.
00:39:43But it can extend it all the way to Budapest.
00:39:46We thought it more prudent to make you, if I may say so,
00:39:49a true American.
00:39:53From now on,
00:39:54You were officially born in the United States.
00:39:57You can become president, Harry.
00:40:04Sir, you have no idea what this means to me.
00:40:07Let's just say you owe me.
00:40:08And in the meantime, look at me,
00:40:11like a parent.
00:40:12A sort of...
00:40:14A surrogate father, you see?
00:40:33Where were you?
00:40:40With Jim.
00:40:42Jim didn't know where you were either.
00:40:56It's a woman.
00:41:00A woman?
00:41:01No, my love.
00:41:04Where did you get such an idea?
00:41:06You know me, I'm not like that.
00:41:10Is it because we don't have children?
00:41:13My darling,
00:41:15It has nothing to do with children.
00:41:17It doesn't matter whether we have them or not.
00:41:21That works for me.
00:41:24Who is this woman?
00:41:25There is no woman, I tell you.
00:41:27So, where were you?
00:41:28I don't want to tell you nothing, but...
00:41:30I'm sorry.
00:41:31I wish I could, but I can't.
00:41:34You need to have confidence.
00:41:35I trusted you, Harry.
00:41:41Bess.
00:41:42Darling.
00:41:44Darling.
00:41:46Have faith.
00:41:49Have faith.
00:41:51When does illusion become a lie?
00:41:55Thanks to illusion, I could become someone
00:41:57and escape from who I truly was.
00:42:01But at what point did running away become vital for me?
00:42:05And what was I desperately trying to escape from?
00:42:08Him.
00:42:22I suppose there are things in life
00:42:24which one can never escape.
00:42:33Shortly after leaving Appleton,
00:42:35I became a sorcerer's apprentice.
00:42:37And I've seen some good times.
00:42:52Ouch.
00:42:53Ouch.
00:43:01Start again.
00:43:16Wow!
00:43:17Good, kid.
00:43:18Well done.
00:43:19So now I'm going to teach you about the Floating Virgin.
00:43:23Here's what you need to know about the Floating Virgin of Arkansas.
00:43:26She was a beautiful young girl.
00:43:29She was pale and...
00:43:31She adored him...
00:43:33Fall asleep.
00:43:36Sleep.
00:43:38And when she was asleep,
00:43:39She...
00:43:40floated.
00:43:43Hop.
00:43:45Come.
00:43:48Come on.
00:43:51Come.
00:43:52Fleet.
00:43:54Float, my sweet beauty.
00:43:57Come to me.
00:43:59Come to me now.
00:44:00Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
00:44:03That's what he's doing.
00:44:05Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
00:44:10Ah, ah, ah, ah.
00:44:15Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
00:44:47What are you reading like that?
00:44:49The rifle bullet trick
00:44:50Oh yeah?
00:44:51We could put it in the show, you'd become the best again
00:44:54You're talented, my boy, very talented
00:44:58But not as much as you think
00:45:01Why don't you want to do it?
00:45:03It's dangerous, I know that all too well.
00:45:06That's what people want to see
00:45:07And who would catch the ball?
00:45:11Me ?
00:45:12Ah, that's enough!
00:45:13Say one more fucking me about this tour
00:45:15And I swear I'd be ready to throw your body into a ditch
00:45:22My son
00:45:27He died while doing that tour
00:45:35Were you the one who loaded the rifle?
00:45:38And I also pulled the trigger
00:45:41I blew his skull open and blew his brains out.
00:45:49I killed my own son
00:45:56You are a liar
00:45:57Repeat that
00:45:58I just read this story in my book
00:46:00Oudin met the traveling magician Toreigny who killed his son while performing the trick
00:46:04You're lying
00:46:05Your hero Oudin was also a damn liar.
00:46:07And by the way, when you're little, you say Oudin, not Oudin.
00:46:10Oudin knew no magician who had killed his son
00:46:14And this book that you mistake for the Gospels
00:46:16It contains just enough truth to make all the nonsense go down easier.
00:46:19Because that's how magic works
00:46:21Magicians lie
00:46:23And remember, the best magicians are the best liars.
00:47:05Was the dream I was pursuing based solely on lies?
00:47:09It was a hard lesson, but it was beneficial for me.
00:47:19After five sold-out shows in Berlin
00:47:22The Kaiser requested a private representation
00:47:24Very private
00:47:37I don't know what to do anymore.
00:47:41We need to push ourselves further
00:47:44The ball between the teeth
00:47:46Are you sure, boss?
00:47:47If Your Majesty would deign to grant it to me
00:47:50I would very much like to offer him a demonstration
00:47:53From the famous German shooting range
00:47:55Would you grant me the honor of borrowing your best rifle from the imperial box?
00:48:04Are you sure you want to do it?
00:48:06What ?
00:48:07Are you sure about that?
00:48:09You said it was safe
00:48:11I said that you had said
00:48:13Okay then, bring it over.
00:48:16Your Majesty will surely wish to observe the scene through your binoculars
00:48:20No ?
00:48:21GOOD
00:48:24Friedrich, Oberstleutnant, der Kaiserlichen Armee
00:48:26Herr Oberstleutnant, are you a good shot, Herr Oberstleutnant?
00:48:29Jawon, mein Herr
00:48:30Perfect, give him the rifle
00:48:31I'm sorry, it's old, it's all we can afford.
00:48:36As you can see, the center of the target is located approximately, I would say, about ten
00:48:41meters from the shooter
00:48:42Herr Oberstleutnant, do you think you can hit the bullseye or do you want to get closer?
00:48:59A real piece of cake, right?
00:49:01Alright
00:49:02Fire when you're ready, Colonel.
00:49:09Very nice shot, Colonel
00:49:11Gorgeous
00:49:12I could confide my life in you
00:49:16Well done
00:49:18Now, let's recharge.
00:49:19It's quite an art, these old rifles.
00:49:21As you can see, we begin by taking a measure of powder which we pour into the barrel.
00:49:25Then it's the turn of a ball of paper
00:49:28And finally, the ball
00:49:36Would you like to check the bullet, Colonel?
00:49:40Thank you so much
00:49:42The bullet is then pushed with the weapon's ramrod, like this.
00:49:49That's right, Colonel, isn't it?
00:49:50Let's keep
00:49:51Now, one last little detail
00:49:53Jim, give the musket to the colonel
00:49:57Colonel, please aim at the target once again.
00:50:19I'm going to try to catch the ball you're going to shoot with my teeth.
00:50:33I said I could entrust my life to you, Colonel
00:50:36Now it's your turn to trust me
00:50:43Yeah
00:50:54Fire, Colonel!
00:50:58Fire
00:51:01Go ahead, shoot
00:51:04Press on the hiding place
00:51:05Press on the hiding place
00:51:34Press the hiding place
00:51:40bar rune
00:51:40That's the ball
00:51:41All right
00:51:45THANKS
00:51:46Very nice shot, Colonel
00:51:47Very nice shot
00:51:49Thank you, Your Majesty.
00:51:52Once you know the trick, most of the magic tricks seem child's play.
00:51:55I would hold that against you
00:51:56Including that one
00:51:58The bullet is then pushed with the weapon's ramrod, like this.
00:52:02That's right, Colonel, isn't it?
00:52:04All right
00:52:04All you need is a magnet on the end of the wand.
00:52:08THANKS
00:52:15Catching balls between my teeth is one thing
00:52:17But I was also in Europe to play the spy.
00:52:20A completely different kind of escape
00:52:23Welcome to Budapest, Mr. Houdini
00:52:25My name is Riley
00:52:26Does your hometown bring back memories for you?
00:52:30Don't forget, you never came
00:52:32Don't look around you
00:52:33You're just talking to an old friend.
00:52:36So, Berlin
00:52:37I gathered that the Kaiser had been impressed
00:52:40Yes, it's to invite me to observe the maneuvers of his cavalry.
00:52:44I've heard some things
00:52:47They have seven battleships under construction
00:52:49They are not ready yet
00:52:50But they are clearly planning a war.
00:52:53They call it the Schlieffen plan
00:52:57Schlieffen
00:52:59Our friend in London will be more than interested.
00:53:01In the meantime, he gave me this for you.
00:53:03He knows you like to read
00:53:06A Russian grammar book?
00:53:11Are you putting on a show?
00:53:13Somehow
00:53:14My mother is arriving this afternoon by train
00:53:17She comes from Paris
00:53:18A kind of return to the roots?
00:53:21How could I have explained to him what I had in mind?
00:53:28Look at this, darling
00:53:30It's lovely.
00:53:32It was made for Victoria's stop
00:53:34But she died before she could wear it
00:53:37It's not really my style
00:53:38No ?
00:53:39I'll be back, darling.
00:53:42Sometimes, a man cannot tell his wife for whom he is buying a dress.
00:53:48But Mom deserved the best
00:53:51Because if I had become the best
00:53:54It was thanks to her
00:53:58And I finally had the opportunity to thank her for that.
00:54:25What does that mean?
00:54:27She's queen for a day
00:54:31Harry told me that many people here thought his mother had married a low-level rabble-rouser
00:54:36And she's willing to participate in this staging?
00:54:38Of course
00:54:40In her opinion, Harry really does magic
00:54:59As I told you, Mom
00:55:03Easy money
00:55:04I didn't promise you that, did I?
00:55:06One day, it will be gold.
00:55:24Did you see them grovel before her?
00:55:26All these Hungarians
00:55:28Who can't even hold a candle to him?
00:55:33The most beautiful player of my life
00:55:36That's a long journey for just one evening.
00:55:38Yeah, but have you seen his face?
00:55:40I saw it
00:55:40Yeah, it was worth the trip
00:55:45Again, again
00:55:49Good evening
00:55:49A telegram, sir
00:55:51THANKS
00:55:59Who is it ?
00:56:03All these secrets are getting on my nerves, Harry.
00:56:04Darling, darling
00:56:05Lion is interested in the bear, stop
00:56:06Can we rely on the bear, stop
00:56:08It's up to you to tell us, stop
00:56:09Give me that
00:56:10What is this ?
00:56:11There have never been any animals in your shows, Harry
00:56:13What's this story about a bear?
00:56:15What are you cooking up?
00:56:16Why can't you tell me anything?
00:56:18I'm your dad, wet or not?
00:56:20Yes dear
00:56:28They want me to go to Russia
00:56:30The bear means Russia
00:56:33The tour is being extended
00:56:34It was Beck who had the idea
00:56:35No, it's not...
00:56:40This is for the government
00:56:42The government?
00:56:43Darling
00:56:43Shh
00:56:45What do you have to do with the government?
00:56:47It's complicated
00:56:49But we have to go.
00:56:53We have to go
00:57:04Hello young man
00:57:09Good
00:57:10Your Majesty, it is an honor to be at the palace
00:57:12You are too emanating
00:57:13I would like to grant one of your family's wishes
00:57:15If you'll allow me
00:57:16Could you write down one of your greatest wishes?
00:57:19On these scraps of paper?
00:57:22I see that Your Majesty possesses a shepherd's egg
00:57:24Gorgeous
00:57:25Would you mind if I included all your wishes?
00:57:27No way
00:57:32THANKS
00:57:33THANKS
00:57:33Now
00:57:33Grand Duchess Anastasia
00:57:36Can you choose one and give it to me?
00:57:48I just realized that I don't read Russian.
00:57:51Could His Majesty translate?
00:57:56I'm afraid you won't be able to grant it.
00:58:00Let me at least try, Your Majesty.
00:58:02Who did he describe?
00:58:03One of us wishes that the Kremlin bells could ring one last time.
00:58:08It's impossible
00:58:10Know, Mr. Houdini, that the bells haven't rung since...
00:58:14About a hundred
00:58:14About a hundred years
00:58:16The ropes have long since rotted and the stairs have collapsed.
00:58:19But if magic were so easy, anyone would practice it.
00:58:27What... I'm sorry, I don't know this gentleman
00:58:30Rasputin
00:58:31Rasputin says you're talking nonsense...
00:58:35Of the...
00:58:36Ah, I see the idea.
00:58:37Well, we'll see.
00:59:18Grand Duchess Anastasia
00:59:24Pull on the rope
00:59:28Shoot again
00:59:34Pull on the rope
00:59:38Again
00:59:43Even Rasputin, a man steeped in religion and mysticism
00:59:47He couldn't figure out my little trick.
00:59:53Are we never done with these surprises?
00:59:56I bet you'd like to give me a good, solid punch.
01:00:01I know you're itching to do it.
01:00:02One thing I learned a long time ago
01:00:04It's about never letting them see what you're feeling.
01:00:19THANKS
01:00:29After that they thought I couldn't harm them
01:00:32We stayed for dinner and people started chatting more freely.
01:00:34The Tsar is considering war with Japan
01:00:37If he declares it, he will lose.
01:00:39Will Russia lose against this small country?
01:00:41He will lose because he blindly obeys this Rasputin.
01:00:44They do everything he says, it's unbelievable.
01:00:46A mad monk in charge, why?
01:00:49It would seem that he is a magician himself.
01:00:51Thanks to him, the Tsarevich's wounds would no longer bleed.
01:00:53Ah yes, the little one is emophile
01:00:55They are doing everything for Rasputin's well-being
01:00:57But there are other problems
01:00:59Social unrest is shaking the country
01:01:01One of these days everything will explode
01:01:03So that's excellent, Harry.
01:01:05Very informative
01:01:08But tell me
01:01:09How did you manage to ring the bells?
01:01:13That was the only wish I was willing to grant.
01:01:15Now
01:01:16Big word
01:01:16Duchess Anastasia
01:01:18Can you choose one and give it to me?
01:01:22And then I said
01:01:24I just realized that I can't read Russian.
01:01:28Her Majesty could be introduced
01:01:38It was snowing heavily.
01:01:39I was afraid Jim wouldn't see the rope
01:01:58Say on the rope
01:02:18They were convinced that I had supernatural powers.
01:02:21And do you have any?
01:02:24I know
01:02:25What are your plans?
01:02:27Return to the United States?
01:02:30Not until I have a new trick
01:02:31Now everyone copies my numbers
01:02:33And my surname
01:02:35Londini, Andini, Berlini
01:02:39I think you need a new challenge
01:02:43The Delphi Theatre is located a stone's throw from the German Embassy.
01:02:46So what?
01:02:47So what?
01:02:48We have learned that there is a copy of the Schlieffen plan
01:02:50In the safe
01:02:52Who is in the ambassador's office?
01:02:54What an extraordinary opportunity this would be for our services!
01:02:57If you managed to get your hands on it
01:02:59You would have a perfect alibi
01:03:01Handcuffed on stage in front of a room full of witnesses
01:03:05A chest
01:03:14And that's how I ended up locked in a trunk.
01:03:36But not that chest
01:03:39In another chest
01:03:43The one in the office of the German ambassador
01:03:49But let me start from the beginning.
01:04:00A few minutes after the start of the tour
01:04:01I was no longer in the trunk that was on stage
01:04:08Jim had told the audience that I had 10 minutes of oxygen.
01:04:11The audience goes crazy as soon as the tempo picks up.
01:04:19Where is he?
01:04:20He didn't tell me anything, Mrs. Oudini.
01:04:22He promised to come back in time to finish the tour
01:04:24But come back then?
01:04:26I have absolutely no idea.
01:04:29This can't go on like this.
01:04:30He will make me strong
01:04:42It's our 10th wedding anniversary tonight.
01:04:45And I know very well that he forgot it
01:04:47I know that well
01:05:03Subtitling by Radio-Canada
01:05:44No, come back this way, my dear
01:05:46I want to show you
01:05:47It's right there
01:05:58So
01:06:08The bottle is there
01:06:09Would you like a glass of wine?
01:06:10Oh
01:06:29What a thing
01:06:30What a thing
01:06:31What a thing
01:06:31Are you here?
01:06:31Like that
01:06:32Except
01:06:32Mom
01:06:33Mom
01:06:33Mom
01:06:33Mom
01:06:33Mom
01:06:33I'm going to get there! I'm going to arrest you!
01:06:37I'm going to get there!
01:07:08Mr. Oudini!
01:07:11Mr. Oudini!
01:07:14The finale included a surprise just for Bess.
01:07:21All I had to do was get out of a trunk I'd never been in before
01:07:26was locked up.
01:07:28And in that one too, I was going to run out of oxygen.
01:07:33My brain is the key that will set me free.
01:07:37My brain is the key that will set me free.
01:07:40I was trying to remember the arrangement of the locks and gears on a Jarvis chest.
01:07:55Open this chest!
01:07:59Bring the tools!
01:08:08Subtitling by Radio-Canada
01:08:47And then, the German ambassador finally remembered where the leg was.
01:09:07And then, the German ambassador finally remembered where the leg was.
01:09:33And then, the German ambassador finally remembered where the leg was.
01:10:15What does it say, darling?
01:10:17Lila, speaking aloud.
01:10:20Thank you for the ten best years of my entire life.
01:10:26Your loving husband is coming.
01:10:51Happy birthday, darling.
01:10:55Happy birthday.
01:10:58She thought I had forgotten.
01:11:01In any case, thank you for staying for the grand finale.
01:11:04Ladies and gentlemen, thank you.
01:11:14Well done !
01:11:18It was a success, darling.
01:11:21I wanted to surprise you.
01:11:23It was just for you.
01:11:24No.
01:11:25No, it wasn't for me.
01:11:27It's never just for me.
01:11:29It's for your audience.
01:11:30It's for the show.
01:11:32It's always for the show.
01:11:33And you and I both know it, Harry.
01:11:35No.
01:11:40What are you trying to prove, Harry?
01:11:42How brave you are.
01:11:43What a good American you are.
01:11:45Is that it?
01:11:46At least tell me what it is.
01:11:47Tell me, what is it, huh?
01:11:49I...
01:11:49My timing is bad, but the car has arrived.
01:11:53Do you still go to Lady Butler's?
01:11:55Oh...
01:11:56Honey, I'm sorry, but...
01:11:57But it's...
01:11:58That's another honor.
01:12:00It's a great honor.
01:12:01Honey, we're just making a brief appearance, okay?
01:12:04I promise, 30 minutes, no more.
01:12:07This is Lady Butler.
01:12:16This Rasputin had a hell of a striking power.
01:12:19I'm telling you, it was a real...
01:12:20John L. Sullivan.
01:12:23Without a punch, nothing happened.
01:12:24It was his vodka breath that finished me off.
01:12:30I'm lucky.
01:12:32May I sit down?
01:12:33Go ahead, please.
01:12:34What do you think?
01:12:35Excuse me, what were you saying?
01:12:38You didn't feel any pain?
01:12:39Well, very light, I admit.
01:12:44You are attractive, my dear.
01:13:05Yes, some things can hurt you more than any punch.
01:13:09I'm sorry, what were you thinking?
01:13:10Actually, it'll only take me a minute.
01:13:24Are you okay, Harry?
01:13:26Are you okay, Harry?
01:13:31Are you okay, Harry?
01:13:51I'm going to end up killing myself.
01:13:54I keep telling you.
01:13:56Do you find that funny?
01:13:58Is that funny?
01:14:00For God's sake, why are you putting yourself in such a state?
01:14:05You kissed that guy.
01:14:08You kissed him!
01:14:10No, that's wrong.
01:14:11Yes, you did it!
01:14:12No, I didn't do anything at all.
01:14:14And besides, before you saw me, you didn't even know where I was.
01:14:17You didn't care at all.
01:14:18So stop giving me that big scene from the second one.
01:14:20You are my wife.
01:14:22You are the wife, the wife of the great Houdini!
01:14:25Honestly, I thought I was just a woman you put in a trunk and release when
01:14:29We want to.
01:14:38What do we do when we hit rock bottom?
01:14:40We continue to dig.
01:14:43Divine creature.
01:14:58See if you can escape.
01:15:02Do you want me to set you free?
01:15:09Once I was up against the wall, I realized that this was not what I wanted.
01:15:20I won't be far away.
01:15:22That's where I found my next way to escape.
01:15:24What are we hearing?
01:15:26I have absolutely no idea, flamboyant.
01:15:33You never know what to expect from these surprises.
01:15:38Houdini.
01:15:43I don't know how it works in America.
01:15:46But in London, that's considered impolite.
01:15:49Eh ?
01:15:50To make a lady wait.
01:16:01Oh yes.
01:16:26Where are you ?
01:16:28Start without me.
01:16:30Pardon.
01:16:33Where are you going ?
01:16:35Keep the chains.
01:16:37And where is the key?
01:16:40What are you doing here?
01:16:41I knew you wouldn't stay.
01:16:43Prove one of these things to me.
01:16:45What do you want to do with an airplane?
01:16:50Do you know what it's like when you fall in love?
01:16:52All I could think about was flying.
01:16:55At that time, the only rival in terms of descent was an airplane.
01:16:59And for years, he took us on a journey around the world.
01:17:12Paris !
01:17:13Paris !
01:17:13Do you trust me?
01:17:19But everything comes to an end.
01:17:22Even airplanes eventually lose their novelty appeal.
01:17:26I returned to Earth.
01:17:28And on Earth, things had changed too.
01:17:36I came back down to Earth, and so did things.
01:18:18But the public had become desensitized to thrills.
01:18:22It had been a while since I'd performed to a sold-out crowd.
01:18:25But I wasn't finished with the escape.
01:18:27Not quite
01:18:29You didn't grease the collar
01:18:30Of course, yes
01:18:32Well, your carelessness cost me ten seconds
01:18:34Neglect ?
01:18:35It's always like that when you make it with water instead of milk.
01:18:38Some excuse!
01:18:41Just because there's no one in the room doesn't mean those who are there don't deserve it.
01:18:43not the best of the great Houdini
01:18:44You're really well done
01:18:47Again ?
01:18:48It'll start, don't worry.
01:18:50That's where you're wrong, Harry
01:18:51Things are not what they used to be.
01:18:53You were absent for a while.
01:18:55The entertainment industry is in trouble
01:18:57Nowadays, what people want to see are movies.
01:19:00And another
01:19:01You're kidding.
01:19:02This is too short
01:19:02For a somewhat lengthy escape, an entire film would not be enough.
01:19:06And besides, the suspense wouldn't be the same.
01:19:09Perhaps you could fill a smaller room
01:19:14A smaller room?
01:19:18Me ?
01:19:22What does that mean?
01:19:24Eh ?
01:19:28We're heading straight for disaster, Harry.
01:19:30No, we'll go where I want us to go.
