2
00:02:36,123 --> 00:02:38,290
            It's probably
            any time after that.

3
00:02:38,292 --> 00:02:40,159
But he seems so healthy.

4
00:02:42,963 --> 00:02:44,863
Does he know?

5
00:03:11,024 --> 00:03:12,925
                    Mr. Brovik?
                What? What?

6
00:03:12,927 --> 00:03:16,228
    Can you all come into
    the office now, please?
    Mr. Solness just woke up.

7
00:03:16,230 --> 00:03:18,497
        Oh, thank-- thank you.

8
00:03:18,499 --> 00:03:21,934
    I don't know how much longer
    I'll be able to stand this.

9
00:03:21,936 --> 00:03:24,970
    Oh, God, you haven't been
    looking well all afternoon.

10
00:03:24,972 --> 00:03:27,139
    It's, uh--

11
00:03:27,141 --> 00:03:30,075
I think it's getting worse
every day.

12
00:03:30,077 --> 00:03:32,778
            M-Maybe this isn't
            a good time, Father.

13
00:03:32,780 --> 00:03:36,481
            Maybe... you should
            just go home and try
            to sleep a little.

14
00:03:36,483 --> 00:03:39,985
You mean just lie down
and get a little rest?

15
00:03:39,987 --> 00:03:44,256
When I lie down, that--
that other thing starts--

16
00:03:46,793 --> 00:03:49,228
    the choking.

17
00:04:08,248 --> 00:04:11,149
        So, has anyone been here
        looking for me?

18
00:04:11,151 --> 00:04:14,586
        Uh... yes.

19
00:04:14,588 --> 00:04:19,691
    Uh, that young couple
    came by.

20
00:04:19,693 --> 00:04:23,629
    You know, the people
    who want to build the villa
    out by the lake.

21
00:04:23,631 --> 00:04:27,699
They've already been here
two or three times this week.

22
00:04:27,701 --> 00:04:30,469
            Well, they're gonna
            have to wait.

23
00:04:30,471 --> 00:04:32,738
            I'm not sure
            about the design.

24
00:04:32,740 --> 00:04:35,574
Well, they kept saying
that it's terribly important...

25
00:04:35,576 --> 00:04:37,309
        that they get
        the drawings soon.

26
00:04:37,311 --> 00:04:40,245
        Oh, is that right?

27
00:04:40,247 --> 00:04:43,548
        Well, they said they
        were just so eager...

28
00:04:43,550 --> 00:04:46,318
        to move
        into their own place.

29
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,656
        A place.
        A place to move into.

30
00:04:50,658 --> 00:04:54,559
That's not the same as a home.
Don't they see that?

31
00:04:55,895 --> 00:04:57,896
    Well, it's absolutely fine,

32
00:04:57,898 --> 00:05:00,832
    but then they should
    go to somebody else,
    leave me out of it.

33
00:05:00,834 --> 00:05:04,870
    Why don't you
    just tell them that when
    they come back next time?

34
00:05:04,872 --> 00:05:06,838
        Go to somebody else?

35
00:05:07,774 --> 00:05:11,243
        Do you...
        honestly mean that?

36
00:05:11,245 --> 00:05:14,379
    Yes, I do, for God's sake.

37
00:05:14,381 --> 00:05:16,615
            They want me to just
            put up a building...

38
00:05:16,617 --> 00:05:20,786
without taking the time
to work out a meaningful design.

39
00:05:20,788 --> 00:05:23,355
    I mean, I don't even
    really know these people.

40
00:05:23,357 --> 00:05:25,991
            Oh, they're
            very good people.

41
00:05:25,993 --> 00:05:30,762
        Ragnar knows them.
        He's visited them often.

42
00:05:30,764 --> 00:05:33,332
                Everyone here
                at Lovestrand...

43
00:05:33,334 --> 00:05:37,436
            wants a building
            designed by me...

44
00:05:37,438 --> 00:05:41,440
            as a sort of symbol
            of prestige.

45
00:05:41,442 --> 00:05:46,078
        Well, I'm sick of it.
        I don't want to deal
        with strangers anymore.

46
00:05:47,513 --> 00:05:50,415
            Let them go
            to anyone they like.
            I really don't care.

47
00:05:51,718 --> 00:05:53,118
                    Uh,

48
00:05:55,488 --> 00:05:59,458
        do you think we might
        have a few moments...

49
00:05:59,460 --> 00:06:02,361
        to discuss something
        in private?

50
00:06:03,296 --> 00:06:04,896
                    Of course.

51
00:06:04,898 --> 00:06:07,065
                Will you give us
                a minute, dear?
I don't--

52
00:06:07,067 --> 00:06:10,802
        Please, Ragnar,
        just give us a moment
        alone.

53
00:06:10,804 --> 00:06:12,838
                Come on, Kaya.

54
00:06:14,874 --> 00:06:19,845
I, uh--
I don't want the children
to know how sick I am.

55
00:06:20,747 --> 00:06:23,081
    Yes, you've been looking...

56
00:06:23,083 --> 00:06:24,816
        awfully weak recently.

57
00:06:24,818 --> 00:06:27,919
I'm not going to be around
much longer.

58
00:06:27,921 --> 00:06:30,522
That's the reality.

59
00:06:30,524 --> 00:06:33,425
Each day I seem to
lose something or other--

60
00:06:33,427 --> 00:06:35,594
one more faculty.

61
00:06:35,596 --> 00:06:37,729
It's all going--
all my strength.

62
00:06:37,731 --> 00:06:39,398
                        Yes.

63
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:44,569
You see, what weighs on me
so terribly is...

64
00:06:44,571 --> 00:06:47,806
what's going to become
of Ragnar?

65
00:06:47,808 --> 00:06:52,277
        Well, I mean,
        he can stay here with me
        for as long as he likes.

66
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:57,082
You see, apparently,
he feels that he just
can't stay any longer.

67
00:06:57,084 --> 00:06:59,384
            What are you saying?

68
00:06:59,386 --> 00:07:01,353
        Does he want a raise?

69
00:07:01,355 --> 00:07:03,789
        No.

70
00:07:03,791 --> 00:07:06,925
It's more that
the day has to come...

71
00:07:06,927 --> 00:07:10,362
when he'll have the opportunity
to do his own work.

72
00:07:10,364 --> 00:07:12,831
                Oh, I see.

73
00:07:12,833 --> 00:07:16,101
            And are you positive
            that he has...

74
00:07:16,103 --> 00:07:20,439
    all the particular qualities
    he would need for that?

75
00:07:24,177 --> 00:07:26,244
    No.

76
00:07:26,246 --> 00:07:28,547
That's what's so awful.

77
00:07:28,549 --> 00:07:30,882
I'm not positive.

78
00:07:30,884 --> 00:07:35,086
Even I, myself, have begun
to doubt his abilities.

79
00:07:35,088 --> 00:07:40,992
But you have never said
one single encouraging word
about him.

80
00:07:40,994 --> 00:07:45,997
But I know in my heart
that he is talented.

81
00:07:45,999 --> 00:07:50,268
        But he just hasn't fully
        mastered that much
        of the discipline.

82
00:07:50,270 --> 00:07:52,637
        I mean,
        he knows how to draw.

83
00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:56,441
You hadn't mastered that much
of the discipline either...

84
00:07:56,443 --> 00:07:58,577
when you were working for me.

85
00:07:58,579 --> 00:08:03,048
But that didn't stop you
from...

86
00:08:03,050 --> 00:08:04,816
    plunging in--

87
00:08:09,622 --> 00:08:12,257
and seizing the moment...

88
00:08:12,259 --> 00:08:14,960
<i>and making</i>
<i>a tremendous impression</i>
<i>on everyone.</i>

89
00:08:14,962 --> 00:08:19,297
No. It didn't stop you
from luring away the wind...

90
00:08:19,299 --> 00:08:21,867
that was in my sails
at the time.

91
00:08:21,869 --> 00:08:26,838
It didn't stop you
from just rushing past
everyone around you.

92
00:08:28,407 --> 00:08:30,609
    Yes, it worked out that way,
    didn't it?

93
00:08:30,611 --> 00:08:33,512
Oh, yes. It did.

94
00:08:33,514 --> 00:08:35,814
That's the way it worked out.

95
00:08:45,291 --> 00:08:47,092
Seriously, you can't--

96
00:08:48,494 --> 00:08:51,663
You can't let me go
to my grave...

97
00:08:51,665 --> 00:08:53,965
without having a chance...

98
00:08:53,967 --> 00:08:56,635
to see what Ragnar
can make of himself.

99
00:08:56,637 --> 00:08:58,837
He needs to be married.

100
00:08:58,839 --> 00:09:01,139
        Is that what Kaya wants?

101
00:09:02,141 --> 00:09:04,142
    Well,

102
00:09:04,144 --> 00:09:08,480
maybe she's
a little less passionate
about it than he is,

103
00:09:08,482 --> 00:09:12,083
but Ragnar talks about it
all day long.

104
00:09:12,085 --> 00:09:14,219
He needs to be married,

105
00:09:14,221 --> 00:09:17,289
and I need to see some work
that my boy has done.

106
00:09:17,291 --> 00:09:20,191
Yes, but--

107
00:09:20,193 --> 00:09:24,229
    I can't bring commissions
    down out of the sky for him.

108
00:09:24,231 --> 00:09:28,233
He could obtain
an excellent commission
right now,

109
00:09:28,235 --> 00:09:30,302
as a matter of fact--

110
00:09:30,304 --> 00:09:33,505
an important project,
something really worthwhile.

111
00:09:33,507 --> 00:09:36,174
                    He could?
Yes, he could.

112
00:09:37,543 --> 00:09:40,645
If you would
give your permission.

113
00:09:42,348 --> 00:09:44,616
    And what project is that?

114
00:09:46,986 --> 00:09:49,921
He could build the villa
out at the lake.

115
00:09:50,957 --> 00:09:52,357
                    What?

116
00:09:53,926 --> 00:09:58,597
    But I'm going to be doing
    that project myself.

117
00:09:58,599 --> 00:10:02,000
But you no longer
have any desire to do it.

118
00:10:02,002 --> 00:10:04,169
            I no longer have
            any desire to do it?

119
00:10:04,171 --> 00:10:08,173
            Who in the world
            had the audacity
            to tell you that?

120
00:10:08,175 --> 00:10:12,277
You--
You said it yourself
two minutes ago.

121
00:10:14,013 --> 00:10:17,816
            Oh, for God's sake,
            I was joking.

122
00:10:23,589 --> 00:10:25,690
                But seriously,

123
00:10:25,692 --> 00:10:29,928
            could Ragnar really
            get that commission?

124
00:10:29,930 --> 00:10:33,898
Oh, yes.
He knows the family well.

125
00:10:33,900 --> 00:10:38,637
Actually, for his own amusement,
he did do a few sketches...

126
00:10:38,639 --> 00:10:41,473
of some things he might do--

127
00:10:41,475 --> 00:10:44,876
a few drawings,
a few estimates.

128
00:10:44,878 --> 00:10:49,047
And you think that the family
was pleased by these drawings?

129
00:10:49,049 --> 00:10:51,416
    Oh, yes, yes.

130
00:10:51,418 --> 00:10:54,519
I mean, if you would simply
give your approval.

131
00:10:54,521 --> 00:10:58,857
Then they'd actually let Ragnar
complete the building?

132
00:10:59,825 --> 00:11:01,793
Well, they-- they liked--

133
00:11:01,795 --> 00:11:05,897
they liked what he proposed
to them very much.

134
00:11:05,899 --> 00:11:08,800
They said they thought
it was original,

135
00:11:08,802 --> 00:11:11,569
something really new.

136
00:11:11,571 --> 00:11:14,205
                    Oh, I see.

137
00:11:14,207 --> 00:11:15,807
                    Really new.

138
00:11:17,977 --> 00:11:21,646
            Not like the sort
            of very conventional
            buildings...

139
00:11:21,648 --> 00:11:23,782
            that I always build,

140
00:11:23,784 --> 00:11:26,518
            with their flavor
            of the past?

141
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,153
Look, look, look,
y-you're--

142
00:11:28,155 --> 00:11:32,357
    So, it was actually Ragnar
    they came here to see.

143
00:11:32,359 --> 00:11:35,126
No, no. They-- They came
to see you, really.

144
00:11:35,128 --> 00:11:37,495
Really, they did.
They simply--

145
00:11:37,497 --> 00:11:40,198
        Oh.

146
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,469
Oh, they simply wanted
to know if you might be
willing to step aside--

147
00:11:44,471 --> 00:11:47,272
                    Step aside?
In case you found
that Ragnar's drawings--

148
00:11:47,274 --> 00:11:49,708
    To step aside for Ragnar?

149
00:11:49,710 --> 00:11:52,143
They simply meant, you know,
to take your name.

150
00:11:52,145 --> 00:11:55,046
            Oh, no. I understand
            what they meant.

151
00:11:58,684 --> 00:12:01,820
                Well, well.
                So the moment
                has come...

152
00:12:01,822 --> 00:12:06,991
    when Halvard Solness
    starts to "step aside"...

153
00:12:06,993 --> 00:12:10,462
        to make way for those
        who are younger.

154
00:12:10,464 --> 00:12:12,097
            That's wonderful.

155
00:12:12,099 --> 00:12:14,399
    But surely...

156
00:12:14,401 --> 00:12:18,636
there's room for more
than one single solitary--

157
00:12:18,638 --> 00:12:21,172
                    No, no, no.
                    Not really.

158
00:12:21,174 --> 00:12:25,243
                No, there isn't
                as much room
                as you think.

159
00:12:28,914 --> 00:12:30,782
            In any case,
            it's irrelevant...

160
00:12:30,784 --> 00:12:34,419
        because I'm not going
        to step aside.

161
00:12:39,024 --> 00:12:41,192
                        Oh.

162
00:12:41,194 --> 00:12:47,499
So... am I really going
to leave this earth...

163
00:12:50,269 --> 00:12:56,875
without the happiness,
w-without the conf--

164
00:12:56,877 --> 00:13:01,312
I mean, am I going to
go to my grave...

165
00:13:01,314 --> 00:13:04,983
without being able to see
a single piece of work...

166
00:13:04,985 --> 00:13:07,819
that's been done by my boy?

167
00:13:09,522 --> 00:13:12,624
            You're gonna
            leave this world...

168
00:13:12,626 --> 00:13:15,927
        with as much dignity...

169
00:13:15,929 --> 00:13:20,465
                as you can find
                in yourself.

170
00:13:30,342 --> 00:13:32,811
Ragnar!

171
00:13:34,613 --> 00:13:36,848
What is it, Father?

172
00:13:36,850 --> 00:13:38,983
                We're going now.

173
00:13:48,727 --> 00:13:50,295
I got him.

174
00:13:52,131 --> 00:13:55,333
                Well, Miss Fosli
                can't leave yet.

175
00:13:55,335 --> 00:13:59,904
        There's a letter
        that has to be written,
        I'm afraid.

176
00:14:18,991 --> 00:14:22,260
So... is there a letter?

177
00:14:22,262 --> 00:14:24,362
            No.

178
00:14:24,364 --> 00:14:26,931
    Of course there isn't.

179
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,034
                        Kaya.
    Yes?

180
00:14:31,570 --> 00:14:33,571
            Come over here.

181
00:14:33,573 --> 00:14:36,074
Tell me what you want.

182
00:14:36,076 --> 00:14:40,044
            Are you the one
            I should thank
            for this situation?

183
00:14:40,813 --> 00:14:42,447
Please, you mustn't--

184
00:14:42,449 --> 00:14:47,619
I mean, you're terribly eager
to be married, it seems.

185
00:14:49,722 --> 00:14:52,190
            Well,

186
00:14:52,192 --> 00:14:57,328
Ragnar and I have been engaged
for four or five years.

187
00:14:57,330 --> 00:14:58,930
                    Yes?

188
00:14:58,932 --> 00:15:01,900
He and his father
keep talking about it,

189
00:15:01,902 --> 00:15:04,802
and I suppose eventually
I'll have to give in.

190
00:15:04,804 --> 00:15:09,173
        And of course,
        you have a certain
        affection for Ragnar?

191
00:15:10,576 --> 00:15:14,679
I used to have a great deal
of affection for him...

192
00:15:14,681 --> 00:15:17,649
before I came
to work for you.

193
00:15:18,617 --> 00:15:21,152
        But you don't anymore?

194
00:15:21,154 --> 00:15:25,156
I only care about
one person-- one.

195
00:15:25,158 --> 00:15:27,892
I don't care
about anybody else.

196
00:15:27,894 --> 00:15:29,861
And I never will.

197
00:15:29,863 --> 00:15:31,763
            Well, you say that,

198
00:15:31,765 --> 00:15:36,501
    but then at the same time,
    you seem to be making plans
    to leave me, aren't you?

199
00:15:37,469 --> 00:15:39,971
But couldn't I still work here
even if I--

200
00:15:39,973 --> 00:15:42,507
                        No. No!

201
00:15:42,509 --> 00:15:44,509
    It can't happen that way.

202
00:15:44,511 --> 00:15:47,679
    If Ragnar goes off
    and he sets up on his own,

203
00:15:47,681 --> 00:15:50,381
he's going to need you himself,
don't you see that?

204
00:15:50,383 --> 00:15:53,851
Well, I don't think I can
be separated from you.

205
00:15:53,853 --> 00:15:55,353
It's impossible.
I just--

206
00:15:55,355 --> 00:15:59,090
    Can't you just convince him
    to stay here?

207
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,361
        He has
        a good position here.

208
00:16:06,665 --> 00:16:11,202
        And that's the only way
        I'm gonna be able to--

209
00:16:11,204 --> 00:16:13,705
    to keep you with me, Kaya.

210
00:16:13,707 --> 00:16:16,741
My dear little Kaya.

211
00:16:16,743 --> 00:16:19,510
It would be so wonderful
if it could work out like that.

212
00:16:19,512 --> 00:16:21,913
            Because--
            Because I can't--
        Shh!

213
00:16:21,915 --> 00:16:24,482
        I can't not have you.

214
00:16:24,484 --> 00:16:27,719
Oh.
            I have to have you
            with me.

215
00:16:27,721 --> 00:16:29,220
                    Every day.

216
00:16:29,222 --> 00:16:33,825
        You have to be with me.

217
00:16:33,827 --> 00:16:37,729
Oh, God! Oh, God.
I have to--

218
00:16:37,731 --> 00:16:39,764
                        Mmm.

219
00:16:39,766 --> 00:16:42,066
                            Mmm.

220
00:16:42,068 --> 00:16:45,603
- Halvard?
        - Yes, dear?

221
00:16:50,542 --> 00:16:53,411
Have I come
at an inconvenient moment?

222
00:16:53,413 --> 00:16:56,014
                    No, no, no.

223
00:16:56,016 --> 00:17:00,618
        Miss Fosli just has
        a short letter to write,
        and then she's--

224
00:17:02,621 --> 00:17:05,289
        Did you need me
        for something, Aline?

225
00:17:05,291 --> 00:17:06,691
                No.

226
00:17:07,726 --> 00:17:10,428
    I just wanted to say
    that Dr. Herdal is here.

227
00:17:10,430 --> 00:17:12,630
        He came over to see me,
        and, um,

228
00:17:12,632 --> 00:17:15,533
he wanted to say hello to you
at the same time.

229
00:17:15,535 --> 00:17:17,502
                Oh, good.

230
00:17:17,504 --> 00:17:19,570
                Good.

231
00:17:26,012 --> 00:17:29,380
I feel like your wife
is just thinking terrible
thoughts about me.

232
00:17:29,382 --> 00:17:31,315
                    Oh, no, no.

233
00:17:31,317 --> 00:17:35,820
    I'm sure she's just
    thinking the same things...

234
00:17:35,822 --> 00:17:37,789
        that she always thinks.

235
00:17:39,858 --> 00:17:42,226
            But you may as well
            go on home now.

236
00:17:42,228 --> 00:17:44,429
        It's a good time to go.

237
00:17:44,431 --> 00:17:46,664
    Yes.

238
00:17:46,666 --> 00:17:47,799
Yes.

239
00:17:52,638 --> 00:17:56,274
    Oh, no. Wait, wait, wait.

240
00:17:56,276 --> 00:17:59,377
Bring me Ragnar's drawings.

241
00:17:59,912 --> 00:18:03,081
Oh. Yes.

242
00:18:03,083 --> 00:18:04,749
That's wonderful, really.

243
00:18:04,751 --> 00:18:08,119
        I mean, for your sake,
        Kaya, I can at least--

244
00:18:08,121 --> 00:18:10,655
Yes, yes!

245
00:18:10,657 --> 00:18:13,658
Oh! Well, good afternoon.

246
00:18:17,363 --> 00:18:19,464
Think kind thoughts
about me.

247
00:18:19,466 --> 00:18:23,101
        Always,
        my sweet little Kaya.
        Always. Always.

248
00:18:24,570 --> 00:18:28,372
I can't keep the doctor
waiting here any longer.

249
00:18:30,442 --> 00:18:32,577
    Well, by all means, come in.

250
00:18:36,381 --> 00:18:39,250
    All finished
    with that letter,
    Miss Fosli?

251
00:18:39,252 --> 00:18:41,352
                        Letter?
                Mm-hmm.

252
00:18:41,354 --> 00:18:45,857
            You may as well
            go along home now,
            Miss Fosli.

253
00:18:48,460 --> 00:18:51,462
        Be sure you're on time
        tomorrow morning.

254
00:18:51,464 --> 00:18:53,598
            Yes,
            I certainly will be.

255
00:18:56,201 --> 00:18:58,769
            Uh, good afternoon,
            Mrs. Solness.

256
00:19:02,674 --> 00:19:06,310
Must be a really good thing
for you to have found
that young woman, Halvard.

257
00:19:06,312 --> 00:19:09,380
            Oh, yes,
            she's just so useful
            in so many ways.

258
00:19:09,382 --> 00:19:11,716
Oh, yes, she seems
as if she would be.

259
00:19:11,718 --> 00:19:14,752
            And she's, uh, good
            at bookkeeping?

260
00:19:14,754 --> 00:19:19,524
    Well, she's had an awful lot
    of practice at bookkeeping
    in the last two years.

261
00:19:19,526 --> 00:19:22,693
    The other thing is,
    she's such a kind person.

262
00:19:22,695 --> 00:19:26,230
        She's ready to do
        whatever comes up
        that needs to be done.

263
00:19:26,232 --> 00:19:31,469
    Well, that certainly
    must give you a feeling
    of comfort, Halvard.

264
00:19:31,471 --> 00:19:33,905
        Well, it does, it does.

265
00:19:33,907 --> 00:19:35,640
                It does.

266
00:19:35,642 --> 00:19:38,776
And it's been a long time
since I've had anyone here...

267
00:19:38,778 --> 00:19:42,580
        who is available
        to look after my needs.

268
00:19:42,582 --> 00:19:45,316
Halvard, how can you
say such things?

269
00:19:45,318 --> 00:19:49,620
        Oh, Aline,
        now please forgive me.

270
00:19:49,622 --> 00:19:52,223
                Please?

271
00:19:52,225 --> 00:19:55,826
    Doctor, will you
    be returning later
    to have some dinner with us?

272
00:19:55,828 --> 00:19:58,196
Soon as I finish
my house calls,
I'll come right back.

273
00:19:58,198 --> 00:20:00,398
    Could you please stay
    for a minute?

274
00:20:03,569 --> 00:20:07,271
    I'd very much like
    to talk with you.

275
00:20:08,941 --> 00:20:11,209
        Well, of course.

276
00:20:15,247 --> 00:20:16,847
                    Thank you.

277
00:20:18,116 --> 00:20:20,218
                    Now, look.

278
00:20:20,220 --> 00:20:23,821
        I know you know Aline
        better than anyone.

279
00:20:25,290 --> 00:20:28,793
    She's said to me many times
    you're her only friend.

280
00:20:30,963 --> 00:20:33,097
            So, can I ask you,

281
00:20:33,099 --> 00:20:38,002
        did you notice anything
        in particular about her
        just now...

282
00:20:38,004 --> 00:20:40,605
            in relation to me?

283
00:20:40,607 --> 00:20:43,874
Well, yes,
for God's sake.

284
00:20:43,876 --> 00:20:47,845
I mean-- I mean,
one could hardly help
noticing that she, uh--

285
00:20:47,847 --> 00:20:49,914
                        Yes?
Well--

286
00:20:49,916 --> 00:20:52,483
She doesn't seem
to be terribly fond
of that Miss Fosli of yours.

287
00:20:52,485 --> 00:20:55,419
    - Well--
    - I mean, it's not
      that surprising...

288
00:20:55,421 --> 00:20:57,655
that she doesn't particularly
like the fact...

289
00:20:57,657 --> 00:21:00,891
that you spend every single day
in the company of another woman.

290
00:21:00,893 --> 00:21:04,962
        Well, but that happens
        to be something
        that can't be changed.

291
00:21:06,131 --> 00:21:08,199
Well, why not?
Couldn't you find
a male secretary?

292
00:21:08,201 --> 00:21:10,468
                    Oh!
No, I mean,

293
00:21:10,470 --> 00:21:12,470
if your wife really feels--

294
00:21:12,472 --> 00:21:14,872
In other words,
she's a very fragile woman,

295
00:21:14,874 --> 00:21:19,543
and it's something, you know,
that she really can't bear--

296
00:21:19,545 --> 00:21:21,312
I mean, to look
at this young girl--

297
00:21:21,314 --> 00:21:24,882
            Oh, for God's sakes.
            So what? Who cares?

298
00:21:26,752 --> 00:21:30,087
    Well, I mean I do, in a way.
    I do, obviously.

299
00:21:30,089 --> 00:21:33,691
            But... the situation
            is what it is.

300
00:21:33,693 --> 00:21:35,726
You mean
there's no alternative?

301
00:21:35,728 --> 00:21:38,562
        That's right.
        There's no alternative.

302
00:21:38,564 --> 00:21:44,602
Of course, women's perceptions
are often infuriatingly accurate
on certain topics.

303
00:21:44,604 --> 00:21:46,370
                        Yes?

304
00:21:46,372 --> 00:21:48,906
And so when your wife
happens to find...

305
00:21:48,908 --> 00:21:52,109
that she just can't stand
that Kaya Fosli,

306
00:21:52,111 --> 00:21:56,414
don't you think that maybe
there's some sort of a basis...

307
00:21:56,416 --> 00:21:59,383
for that sort of...

308
00:21:59,385 --> 00:22:02,653
involuntary reflex
of antipathy?

309
00:22:03,388 --> 00:22:06,057
            No, no, not at all.

310
00:22:06,059 --> 00:22:10,227
I see. There's just no basis
for your wife's feeling at all,
in other words.

311
00:22:10,229 --> 00:22:13,064
    Only her own suspiciousness,
    I suppose.

312
00:22:15,067 --> 00:22:17,068
Now, of course--

313
00:22:17,070 --> 00:22:20,004
I know you've come in contact
with a great many women...

314
00:22:20,006 --> 00:22:22,139
in the course of your life.

315
00:22:22,141 --> 00:22:23,607
                        Yes?

316
00:22:23,609 --> 00:22:25,910
And you've been rather fond
of some of them.

317
00:22:25,912 --> 00:22:27,378
                Hmm.

318
00:22:27,380 --> 00:22:30,848
So, I mean, in this case--

319
00:22:30,850 --> 00:22:34,418
        No, no. No, no, no, no.
        I said no.

320
00:22:35,687 --> 00:22:38,389
            But see,
            there is something
            I very much...

321
00:22:38,391 --> 00:22:40,558
    want to discuss with you.

322
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:45,496
        I would like to tell you
        a very strange story.

323
00:22:45,498 --> 00:22:48,933
    I mean, if you'd be willing
    to listen to it.

324
00:22:48,935 --> 00:22:51,902
I'm always happy to listen
to a strange story.

325
00:22:52,971 --> 00:22:55,106
                Very well then.

326
00:22:56,375 --> 00:22:59,710
        I'm sure you remember...

327
00:22:59,712 --> 00:23:03,247
    that many years ago,
    I brought both Knut Brovik
    and his son...

328
00:23:03,249 --> 00:23:05,816
            over to work for me
            at a time...

329
00:23:05,818 --> 00:23:09,153
        when everything
        had gone terribly wrong
        for the old man.

330
00:23:09,155 --> 00:23:10,621
    Mm-hmm. Yes.

331
00:23:10,623 --> 00:23:13,124
            At a certain point,

332
00:23:13,126 --> 00:23:15,426
        a few years after that,

333
00:23:15,428 --> 00:23:20,030
        Ragnar suddenly
        came up with the idea
        of getting married...

334
00:23:20,032 --> 00:23:24,468
        and leaving my office
        to go set up an office
        of his own.

335
00:23:25,804 --> 00:23:29,607
        But I needed Ragnar
        to stay here with me...

336
00:23:29,609 --> 00:23:33,210
    because Ragnar happens
    to be extremely clever...

337
00:23:33,212 --> 00:23:37,348
    about calculating, you know,
    the volume of things,

338
00:23:37,350 --> 00:23:39,450
        the carrying capacity...

339
00:23:39,452 --> 00:23:41,752
            and all that sort
            of tedious detail.

340
00:23:41,754 --> 00:23:44,855
Well, it's an important part
of your business, yes.

341
00:23:44,857 --> 00:23:48,692
        Now listen to what
        I'm trying to tell you.

342
00:23:48,694 --> 00:23:53,998
One day, a young woman
whom I'd never seen before...

343
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,768
        came over to the office
        to see Ragnar,

344
00:23:57,770 --> 00:24:01,972
        and this turned out
        to be Ragnar's fiancée,

345
00:24:01,974 --> 00:24:03,808
                    Kaya Fosli.

346
00:24:03,810 --> 00:24:08,479
    When I saw
    how incredibly infatuated
    with each other...

347
00:24:08,481 --> 00:24:10,481
            she and Ragnar were,

348
00:24:10,483 --> 00:24:12,416
            the idea came to me,

349
00:24:12,418 --> 00:24:15,753
        if I could get
        this young girl to come
        work here in the office,

350
00:24:15,755 --> 00:24:18,055
            then maybe Ragnar
            would stay here too.

351
00:24:18,057 --> 00:24:19,623
Yes, I see.

352
00:24:19,625 --> 00:24:22,426
        So I just stood there
        staring at her,

353
00:24:22,428 --> 00:24:26,163
        wishing I could think
        of how to convince her
        to work here.

354
00:24:26,165 --> 00:24:29,567
    Then we were introduced,
    but we had no conversation
    of any kind.

355
00:24:29,569 --> 00:24:31,936
        And then she went away.

356
00:24:31,938 --> 00:24:37,541
        Well, the next night,
        after Ragnar and Brovik
        had gone home,

357
00:24:37,543 --> 00:24:40,678
            she came back here,

358
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,882
        and just as if
        I'd already made
        an arrangement with her,

359
00:24:44,884 --> 00:24:50,154
        she asked me what
        her new responsibilities
        would be...

360
00:24:50,156 --> 00:24:53,757
        and whether she could
        start work immediately
        the next morning.

361
00:24:53,759 --> 00:24:56,494
        But I never asked her
        to work here.

362
00:24:56,496 --> 00:24:58,229
My goodness!

363
00:24:58,231 --> 00:25:00,431
        And then as soon as she
        started working for me,

364
00:25:00,433 --> 00:25:02,633
        she seemed to drift away
        from Ragnar--

365
00:25:02,635 --> 00:25:06,437
And drifted over
towards you perhaps?

366
00:25:06,439 --> 00:25:09,874
        I mean, I know she can
        actually feel it...

367
00:25:09,876 --> 00:25:13,844
                if I look at her
                from behind.

368
00:25:13,846 --> 00:25:15,980
            And if I come
            anywhere near her,

369
00:25:15,982 --> 00:25:20,217
        she starts to shake,
        she literally trembles.

370
00:25:20,219 --> 00:25:22,753
            How can you account
            for that?

371
00:25:22,755 --> 00:25:27,791
Well, I'm sure there's
a scientific explanation
for it out there somewhere.

372
00:25:27,793 --> 00:25:30,060
No.

373
00:25:30,062 --> 00:25:31,929
                I mean--

374
00:25:33,765 --> 00:25:37,601
What made her imagine
I had said these things to her,

375
00:25:37,603 --> 00:25:39,803
        which, in fact,
        I'd only thought?

376
00:25:39,805 --> 00:25:44,074
    Things I'd said silently
    inside my head to myself.

377
00:25:44,076 --> 00:25:47,244
            I mean, what can you
            say about that?

378
00:25:47,246 --> 00:25:51,448
        Can you explain that?

379
00:25:51,450 --> 00:25:53,817
Mm-mmm.

380
00:25:53,819 --> 00:25:58,389
I wouldn't want even
to speculate about that.

381
00:25:58,391 --> 00:26:00,758
                    Yes.

382
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,894
    That's exactly
    what I thought you'd say.

383
00:26:06,164 --> 00:26:08,999
        Of course, it's left me
        in a terrible situation.

384
00:26:09,001 --> 00:26:12,903
        Every day,
        I have to come in here
        and pretend that--

385
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,808
It's a terrible thing to do
to this sweet little creature,

386
00:26:17,810 --> 00:26:20,077
    but I can't stop doing it.

387
00:26:20,079 --> 00:26:22,613
            'Cause if she were
            ever to leave me,

388
00:26:22,615 --> 00:26:25,783
    then Ragnar would go too.

389
00:26:25,785 --> 00:26:29,186
So you've allowed your wife
to believe that you really--

390
00:26:29,188 --> 00:26:31,188
                            Yes.

391
00:26:31,190 --> 00:26:33,023
    But why?

392
00:26:33,025 --> 00:26:34,625
                        Well...

393
00:26:36,461 --> 00:26:40,364
    there's a sort of wonderful,
    well-deserved punishment...

394
00:26:40,366 --> 00:26:44,101
            that I can inflict
            on myself...

395
00:26:44,103 --> 00:26:46,604
            by allowing Aline
            to condemn me...

396
00:26:46,606 --> 00:26:49,273
    when she really shouldn't.

397
00:26:51,076 --> 00:26:55,980
You know, I have to admit
I don't know
what you're talking about.

398
00:26:55,982 --> 00:26:59,249
                All right.

399
00:26:59,251 --> 00:27:02,252
    Look, shall we just be
    very frank with each other
    for a moment?

400
00:27:02,254 --> 00:27:04,722
            What do you think?

401
00:27:04,724 --> 00:27:07,891
        See, I would like you
        to tell me honestly--

402
00:27:07,893 --> 00:27:10,928
                just tell me
                very directly...

403
00:27:10,930 --> 00:27:14,665
about some of the concerns that
you've had recently about me.

404
00:27:14,667 --> 00:27:17,701
- What do you mean?
- Well, I've already seen it.
  I've seen it very clearly.

405
00:27:17,703 --> 00:27:19,503
Seen-- Seen what?

406
00:27:19,505 --> 00:27:21,038
    I've seen you watching me.

407
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,474
What do you mean, watching you?

408
00:27:23,476 --> 00:27:25,676
        Oh, for Christ's sake!

409
00:27:25,678 --> 00:27:28,646
            Just tell me!

410
00:27:28,648 --> 00:27:32,683
    Haven't you started to think
    the very same thing
    that Aline thinks?

411
00:27:34,185 --> 00:27:36,086
What would that be?

412
00:27:36,988 --> 00:27:40,090
        She's begun to think
        that in some way,

413
00:27:40,092 --> 00:27:44,862
            or to some degree,
            I'm mentally sick.

414
00:27:44,864 --> 00:27:47,531
Oh. What?
Mentally sick?

415
00:27:47,533 --> 00:27:51,702
She has absolutely
never said a word to me
about anything like that.

416
00:27:51,704 --> 00:27:54,004
It's never occurred
to me either.

417
00:27:54,006 --> 00:27:59,043
I've never thought for a second
that there's anything's wrong
with you mentally.

418
00:27:59,045 --> 00:28:02,546
        See, I think
        you've always seen me
        as Halvard Solness,

419
00:28:02,548 --> 00:28:05,149
                this terribly
                fortunate man,

420
00:28:05,151 --> 00:28:09,019
            for whom everything
            has gone well.

421
00:28:09,021 --> 00:28:12,756
    How could such
    a terribly fortunate man...

422
00:28:12,758 --> 00:28:14,958
            be mentally sick?

423
00:28:16,061 --> 00:28:18,829
Well, would that be some sort
of an illusion then?

424
00:28:18,831 --> 00:28:22,266
Aren't you
a terribly fortunate man?

425
00:28:22,268 --> 00:28:24,835
It seems to me
you've experienced
good fortune...

426
00:28:24,837 --> 00:28:28,639
to an almost unbelievable
extent, frankly.

427
00:28:28,641 --> 00:28:31,275
                    I know that.

428
00:28:33,478 --> 00:28:35,312
            What's that sound?

429
00:28:35,314 --> 00:28:37,381
<i>What sound?</i>

430
00:28:38,416 --> 00:28:41,285
            Well, who--
            Who's doing that?

431
00:28:41,287 --> 00:28:43,053
Ingrid, what's going on?

432
00:28:43,055 --> 00:28:45,189
It's 48,
weak and irregular.

433
00:28:45,191 --> 00:28:47,658
Ingrid, there's a blue bottle
with a red label in my bag.

434
00:28:47,660 --> 00:28:49,827
<i>I think I left it</i>
<i>at the nurses' station.</i>

435
00:28:49,829 --> 00:28:51,428
<i>Please hurry.</i>

436
00:28:53,498 --> 00:28:55,799
Solness?

437
00:28:57,202 --> 00:29:00,270
Are you all right?

438
00:29:00,272 --> 00:29:02,806
            Am I all right?
            Of course, I'm fine.

439
00:29:02,808 --> 00:29:06,110
But you were out cold
for a moment there,
just all of a sudden.

440
00:29:06,112 --> 00:29:07,745
    What are you talking about?

441
00:29:07,747 --> 00:29:12,316
    I was sitting here
    listening to you tell me
    what a fortunate man I am.

442
00:29:12,318 --> 00:29:14,284
                Please continue.

443
00:29:15,653 --> 00:29:18,822
Well--
            I mean,
            tell me seriously,

444
00:29:18,824 --> 00:29:20,924
        what is it
        that makes you feel...

445
00:29:20,926 --> 00:29:24,862
        that I have been
        so terribly fortunate?

446
00:29:24,864 --> 00:29:27,598
Well, I mean,

447
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,235
obviously, you've had a lot
of good luck in your life.

448
00:29:31,237 --> 00:29:33,303
I mean,

449
00:29:33,305 --> 00:29:35,639
    first,

450
00:29:35,641 --> 00:29:38,442
when that ugly old mansion
burned down--

451
00:29:38,444 --> 00:29:42,880
That place looked like
a thieves' castle
in a fairy tale.

452
00:29:42,882 --> 00:29:45,716
            Please, that was
            Aline's family home.

453
00:29:45,718 --> 00:29:48,886
Well, yes, for Aline,
it must have been
a very sorrowful event.

454
00:29:48,888 --> 00:29:50,988
Very painful, I'm sure.

455
00:29:50,990 --> 00:29:53,423
                Oh, she's never
                gotten over it.

456
00:29:53,425 --> 00:29:56,126
    It's been years and years,

457
00:29:56,128 --> 00:29:58,328
            and she still hasn't
            recovered from it.

458
00:29:58,330 --> 00:30:00,964
And what happened afterwards
was terrible.

459
00:30:02,500 --> 00:30:04,468
                        Yes.

460
00:30:04,470 --> 00:30:08,038
But... that fire, really,

461
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,840
was good luck for you.

462
00:30:09,842 --> 00:30:14,378
I mean, that fire actually
made everything possible,
didn't it, really?

463
00:30:14,380 --> 00:30:17,514
You were just a poor boy
from the country.

464
00:30:17,516 --> 00:30:21,785
And now you are absolutely
the leading man in your field.

465
00:30:21,787 --> 00:30:23,420
    You are.

466
00:30:23,422 --> 00:30:25,289
            I know.

467
00:30:25,291 --> 00:30:27,224
        And that's exactly
        what's kept me...

468
00:30:27,226 --> 00:30:31,261
    in such an awful state
    of uninterrupted anxiety.

469
00:30:31,263 --> 00:30:34,264
Anxiety? Because
you've had good luck?

470
00:30:34,266 --> 00:30:35,866
                    Yes!

471
00:30:35,868 --> 00:30:40,070
        It starts every morning
        when I get up,

472
00:30:40,072 --> 00:30:43,574
        doesn't stop until
        I fall asleep at night.

473
00:30:43,576 --> 00:30:47,544
    'Cause I know that my luck
    is going to turn around.

474
00:30:47,546 --> 00:30:50,347
    Everything is gonna spin out
    in the opposite direction.

475
00:30:50,349 --> 00:30:53,917
Now, why would you think that?
What would make that happen?

476
00:30:56,154 --> 00:30:58,422
            Well,

477
00:30:58,424 --> 00:31:02,893
    those who are younger
    will begin the process.

478
00:31:02,895 --> 00:31:04,461
            I know that.

479
00:31:04,463 --> 00:31:07,164
No. I have to say,
I think that's absurd.

480
00:31:07,166 --> 00:31:10,601
    No. One or another
    of those younger people...

481
00:31:10,603 --> 00:31:14,571
                is gonna ask me
                to step aside,

482
00:31:14,573 --> 00:31:17,441
        and that will be that.

483
00:31:17,443 --> 00:31:20,844
        You know what they say:

484
00:31:20,846 --> 00:31:25,916
    "The younger generation
     will just show up one day
     and knock on the door."

485
00:31:29,388 --> 00:31:31,388
Well, what if they do?

486
00:31:31,390 --> 00:31:34,057
            What if they do?

487
00:31:34,059 --> 00:31:39,329
Well, that'll simply be the end
of Master Builder Solness.

488
00:31:39,331 --> 00:31:41,732
That's all I'm saying.

489
00:31:41,734 --> 00:31:46,136
    It will simply be the end
    of Master Builder Solness.

490
00:31:46,138 --> 00:31:47,905
        That's all I'm saying.

491
00:31:47,907 --> 00:31:49,973
<i>Solness!</i>

492
00:31:49,975 --> 00:31:52,109
<i>Ingrid, I need</i>
<i>that blue bottle!</i>

493
00:31:54,379 --> 00:31:55,979
<i>Solness?</i>

494
00:32:00,084 --> 00:32:02,986
Solness? Solness!

495
00:32:05,189 --> 00:32:07,891
                Well, you know
                what they say:

496
00:32:07,893 --> 00:32:13,463
    "The younger generation
     will just show up one day
     and knock on the door."

497
00:32:13,465 --> 00:32:17,534
Well, what if they do?
                What if they do?

498
00:32:17,536 --> 00:32:21,872
    Well, that will
    simply be the end
    of Master Builder Solness.

499
00:32:21,874 --> 00:32:23,607
        That's all I'm saying.

500
00:32:31,482 --> 00:32:34,484
Come in!

501
00:32:39,624 --> 00:32:41,258
            Hello.

502
00:32:41,260 --> 00:32:42,693
                    Hello.

503
00:32:58,609 --> 00:33:03,146
    - I almost thought
      you didn't recognize me.
    - Oh, no, no.

504
00:33:03,148 --> 00:33:05,782
    Although I have to say
    that just at the moment--

505
00:33:05,784 --> 00:33:07,718
            Well, I certainly
            recognize you.

506
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,087
        - Oh, it's you!
        - Yes, it's me.

507
00:33:10,089 --> 00:33:13,924
    Yes, we met this summer
    up at one of those hostels
    in the mountains.

508
00:33:13,926 --> 00:33:17,461
I've always wondered where
that whole group of ladies went.
What happened to them?

509
00:33:18,796 --> 00:33:22,833
    Oh, they all left the hotel
    for some unknown reason.

510
00:33:22,835 --> 00:33:25,969
    They probably weren't crazy
    about listening to us having
    so much fun in the evenings.

511
00:33:25,971 --> 00:33:29,039
    No, they certainly weren't.

512
00:33:29,041 --> 00:33:33,977
Now, you-- you have to admit
that you were just toying
with all of us, weren't you?

513
00:33:33,979 --> 00:33:37,114
That's right.
You were just playing games
with all of us.

514
00:33:37,116 --> 00:33:39,916
        Well, it was
        certainly more fun...

515
00:33:39,918 --> 00:33:43,820
than sitting with those ladies
and knitting winter stockings.

516
00:33:43,822 --> 00:33:46,356
                I understand.
                I understand.

517
00:33:46,358 --> 00:33:49,893
So now, uh--
now, let me guess.

518
00:33:49,895 --> 00:33:54,731
Have you possibly
just arrived in town
this evening?

519
00:33:54,733 --> 00:33:58,368
I've just arrived this moment,
as a matter of fact.

520
00:33:58,370 --> 00:34:00,904
                And did you come
                entirely alone,
                Miss Wangel?

521
00:34:00,906 --> 00:34:03,173
        Yes, I certainly did.

522
00:34:03,175 --> 00:34:05,542
Wangel?
Your name is Wangel?

523
00:34:05,544 --> 00:34:08,178
            I believe it is,
            if I'm not wrong.

524
00:34:08,180 --> 00:34:11,915
But... could you possibly
be the daughter...

525
00:34:11,917 --> 00:34:15,352
of the district doctor
up at Sangerly?

526
00:34:15,354 --> 00:34:17,888
            Who else's daughter
            could I be?

527
00:34:17,890 --> 00:34:19,623
Then we met each other
up there...

528
00:34:19,625 --> 00:34:21,591
the summer
when I was staying there...

529
00:34:21,593 --> 00:34:25,629
and I built the tower
for the old church.

530
00:34:25,631 --> 00:34:27,264
                    Yes.

531
00:34:28,166 --> 00:34:30,367
        That was when we met.

532
00:34:30,369 --> 00:34:32,769
Well, that was
a long time ago.

533
00:34:34,572 --> 00:34:36,373
            It was 10 years ago.

534
00:34:36,375 --> 00:34:41,344
Ten years ago!
You would have been
just a child, I imagine.

535
00:34:43,181 --> 00:34:45,882
    Well, I was 12 years old.

536
00:34:45,884 --> 00:34:48,885
Is this
the first time you've ever been
to our town, Miss Wangel?

537
00:34:48,887 --> 00:34:52,422
        Yes, it certainly is.
Then maybe you don't know
anyone here.

538
00:34:52,424 --> 00:34:55,892
No one but you.

539
00:34:55,894 --> 00:34:58,195
        Oh, you and your wife.

540
00:34:58,197 --> 00:34:59,563
You know my wife?

541
00:34:59,565 --> 00:35:01,498
        I don't know her well,
        but yes,

542
00:35:01,500 --> 00:35:03,633
    we were at that spa together
    for a few days.

543
00:35:03,635 --> 00:35:05,402
    Up there!
                            Yes.

544
00:35:05,404 --> 00:35:09,706
    She said I should
    be sure to pay a visit
    if I came to town.

545
00:35:11,443 --> 00:35:15,879
    Sort of
    a superfluous invitation,
    wasn't it?

546
00:35:15,881 --> 00:35:20,784
Well, she certainly
never mentioned anything
of the sort to me.

547
00:35:20,786 --> 00:35:24,254
        Well, I'm going to ask
        if I might be allowed
        to stay here tonight.

548
00:35:24,256 --> 00:35:28,692
Well, I think
that could be arranged.

549
00:35:28,694 --> 00:35:32,028
'Cause I don't have
        any clothes here at all.

550
00:35:32,030 --> 00:35:34,097
        I mean, apart from
        the ones I'm wearing.

551
00:35:34,099 --> 00:35:37,934
    And I have some underwear
    in my bag here,
    but it's absolutely filthy.

552
00:35:39,938 --> 00:35:41,972
        Overdue for a wash.

553
00:35:41,974 --> 00:35:45,609
        Well, I think
        we could do something
        about that as well.

554
00:35:45,611 --> 00:35:48,278
            Oh! So, I'll just
            do my house calls,
            and then--

555
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,147
Yes, exactly.
Then you'll come right back.

556
00:35:50,149 --> 00:35:53,116
        Goddamn right!
        I'll come right back!

557
00:35:53,118 --> 00:35:55,285
    Aline!

558
00:35:55,287 --> 00:35:58,255
Would you be kind enough
to come in here, please?

559
00:35:58,257 --> 00:36:02,492
There's a Miss Wangel here,
whom you know, apparently.

560
00:36:09,233 --> 00:36:12,169
Oh. Is it you?

561
00:36:12,171 --> 00:36:15,472
So... you did come to visit
our town after all.

562
00:36:15,474 --> 00:36:19,442
    Yes. Miss Wangel
    has just this very moment
    arrived in town,

563
00:36:19,444 --> 00:36:22,946
        so she wondered
        if she might be able
        to stay here overnight.

564
00:36:22,948 --> 00:36:25,549
Here at the house?

565
00:36:25,551 --> 00:36:29,352
Oh, well...
we'd be delighted.

566
00:36:29,354 --> 00:36:33,190
    You know, just so that
    she can sort of get herself
    organized a bit and--

567
00:36:33,192 --> 00:36:35,625
I'll certainly do my best
to look after you.

568
00:36:35,627 --> 00:36:40,230
Um, "An unexpected guest
is a blessed obligation,"

569
00:36:40,232 --> 00:36:42,032
my Aunt Thea used to say.

570
00:36:42,034 --> 00:36:46,536
So, I suppose your luggage
will be coming along
a little bit later?

571
00:36:46,538 --> 00:36:50,240
            No, I--
            I don't have any.

572
00:36:50,242 --> 00:36:52,609
Oh!
Well, that's all right.

573
00:36:52,611 --> 00:36:55,512
I'm sure it will all
be fine anyway.

574
00:36:55,514 --> 00:36:58,582
Well, I'm afraid that
you'll have to be satisfied
with my husband's company...

575
00:36:58,584 --> 00:37:03,720
for a little while
while I see about getting a room
in some sort of shape for you.

576
00:37:03,722 --> 00:37:06,756
    Well, why don't we use
    one of the children's rooms?

577
00:37:06,758 --> 00:37:09,025
        They're already made up.

578
00:37:09,027 --> 00:37:11,161
    Yes.

579
00:37:11,163 --> 00:37:14,231
We certainly have plenty
of space up there.

580
00:37:16,867 --> 00:37:18,768
                    So...

581
00:37:18,770 --> 00:37:23,173
        do you have
        many children's rooms
        here in the house?

582
00:37:23,175 --> 00:37:25,642
Oh, yes,
we have three altogether.

583
00:37:25,644 --> 00:37:27,744
That's quite a few.

584
00:37:27,746 --> 00:37:30,380
    So I suppose you must have
    quite a few children then?

585
00:37:30,382 --> 00:37:33,483
No, no, we don't have
any children.

586
00:37:33,485 --> 00:37:37,053
But in the meantime,
you can be our child.

587
00:37:41,525 --> 00:37:43,093
                    Yes.

588
00:37:43,095 --> 00:37:46,997
            I'll be your child
            for tonight.

589
00:37:46,999 --> 00:37:51,334
But I won't cry. I'll try
to see if I can sleep like
a stone right through the night.

590
00:37:51,336 --> 00:37:54,237
Well, I'm sure you're bound
to be awfully tired.

591
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,606
                No, not at all.

592
00:37:56,608 --> 00:38:01,444
    But I do love to lie in bed,
    to sleep and to dream.

593
00:38:02,713 --> 00:38:06,549
So, when you
go to sleep at night,
do you often dream?

594
00:38:06,551 --> 00:38:09,519
Yes.
            Practically always.

595
00:38:09,521 --> 00:38:12,055
And what do you dream
about most then?

596
00:38:14,692 --> 00:38:16,559
                I'm not gonna
                tell you that.

597
00:38:17,795 --> 00:38:20,030
                I might tell you
                some time.
        Oh!

598
00:38:28,707 --> 00:38:30,674
                    Are you, uh,

599
00:38:30,676 --> 00:38:32,609
    trying to find something,
    or--

600
00:38:32,611 --> 00:38:36,479
Oh, no, I'm just looking
at things.

601
00:38:36,481 --> 00:38:39,516
Should I not do that?
        Oh, no. Go right ahead.

602
00:38:52,897 --> 00:38:55,065
    Are you the one
    who writes in this ledger?

603
00:38:55,067 --> 00:38:57,434
                        Uh, no.

604
00:38:57,436 --> 00:38:59,602
        The bookkeeper writes
        in that ledger.

605
00:38:59,604 --> 00:39:01,137
        I see.

606
00:39:01,139 --> 00:39:03,907
Would that happen to be
a member of the other sex?

607
00:39:03,909 --> 00:39:06,710
            Yes, naturally.

608
00:39:06,712 --> 00:39:10,947
A person of that sex
who's regularly employed here?

609
00:39:10,949 --> 00:39:12,982
Uh, yes.

610
00:39:14,518 --> 00:39:16,920
    Is she perhaps married?

611
00:39:16,922 --> 00:39:18,555
No.

612
00:39:19,890 --> 00:39:22,225
            I see.

613
00:39:22,227 --> 00:39:27,364
    But she's going
    to be getting married
    very soon, I believe.

614
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,102
        That's very nice for her
        then, isn't it?

615
00:39:33,204 --> 00:39:35,805
        But it's
        not so nice for me...

616
00:39:35,807 --> 00:39:39,109
because I'm going to be left
with no one here to help me.

617
00:39:40,711 --> 00:39:44,247
Can't you find someone else
    who'd be just as good?

618
00:39:44,249 --> 00:39:46,249
Well,

619
00:39:46,251 --> 00:39:51,454
maybe<i> you'd</i> like to stay here
and write in the ledger.

620
00:40:00,931 --> 00:40:02,565
        Yes.

621
00:40:06,604 --> 00:40:08,805
                Oh, thank you
                very much.

622
00:40:08,807 --> 00:40:12,108
        That is something that
        is never gonna happen...

623
00:40:12,110 --> 00:40:15,412
    because I believe
    I might have some business
    to attend to here...

624
00:40:15,414 --> 00:40:18,948
        that has nothing to do
        with bookkeeping.

625
00:40:18,950 --> 00:40:23,119
    - Am I right?
    - Oh, yes, absolutely.

626
00:40:23,121 --> 00:40:26,189
Well, I mean,
the first thing you're
gonna do, obviously,

627
00:40:26,191 --> 00:40:30,660
is to go around to the shops
and get some proper clothes
for yourself.

628
00:40:30,662 --> 00:40:33,496
        No, I think I'm going
        to omit that step.

629
00:40:33,498 --> 00:40:35,698
Oh?

630
00:40:35,700 --> 00:40:38,468
        Yes, because I'm afraid
        I've spent all my money.

631
00:40:38,470 --> 00:40:40,403
                I squandered it,
                unfortunately.

632
00:40:40,405 --> 00:40:44,340
So, it seems that you have...

633
00:40:44,342 --> 00:40:48,077
    no luggage, no money.

634
00:40:48,079 --> 00:40:49,813
                That's right.

635
00:40:49,815 --> 00:40:51,781
                But, you know,
                "What the hell,"
                as they say.

636
00:40:53,985 --> 00:40:59,022
Oh, my dear.
Do you know that attitude
really makes me like you?

637
00:40:59,024 --> 00:41:03,026
                Oh. Is that
                the only thing
                that does?

638
00:41:04,562 --> 00:41:08,064
No. There are actually
quite a few things.

639
00:41:09,266 --> 00:41:13,636
                I-Is your father
                still alive?

640
00:41:16,006 --> 00:41:18,174
    Yes, he is.

641
00:41:18,176 --> 00:41:20,343
        But you were thinking...

642
00:41:20,345 --> 00:41:24,781
    that you might like to come
    and study here in our town?

643
00:41:25,983 --> 00:41:29,586
No, that thought
has never occurred to me.

644
00:41:29,588 --> 00:41:33,089
So you're here
for a long visit or you're--

645
00:41:41,365 --> 00:41:44,434
Master Builder Solness?
                            Yes?

646
00:41:44,436 --> 00:41:47,203
Do you think you're
a very forgetful person?

647
00:41:48,506 --> 00:41:51,508
        No, I'm not aware
        that I am forgetful. No.

648
00:41:51,510 --> 00:41:56,579
Are you really not going
to speak to me at all about
what happened up there?

649
00:41:56,581 --> 00:41:59,015
        Up there at Sangerly?

650
00:41:59,017 --> 00:42:02,685
        Well, there isn't
        really very much to say
        about it, is there?

651
00:42:03,454 --> 00:42:05,722
Why are you talking
like this?

652
00:42:05,724 --> 00:42:09,092
            Well, tell me what
            you're referring to.

653
00:42:25,142 --> 00:42:28,878
When the tower
on the old church
was completed,

654
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:30,847
we had a big celebration
in town.

655
00:42:30,849 --> 00:42:33,716
                Oh, I haven't
                forgotten that.

656
00:42:33,718 --> 00:42:36,986
            I could never forget
            that remarkable day.

657
00:42:36,988 --> 00:42:40,957
No? Well, that's so nice
of you to say that.

658
00:42:40,959 --> 00:42:43,326
So, there was music
in the churchyard...

659
00:42:43,328 --> 00:42:45,128
and many, many hundreds
of people.

660
00:42:45,130 --> 00:42:48,464
And all of us girls
from the school
were dressed in white,

661
00:42:48,466 --> 00:42:50,300
and we all had little flags.

662
00:42:50,302 --> 00:42:52,502
    Yes, I remember those flags!

663
00:42:52,504 --> 00:42:56,706
And you started
to climb the tower
right up the scaffolding,

664
00:42:56,708 --> 00:42:59,375
all the way up
to the very highest point.

665
00:42:59,377 --> 00:43:02,011
And as you climbed,
you carried
this enormous wreath.

666
00:43:02,013 --> 00:43:04,814
And you hung that wreath
all the way up
on the weather vane.

667
00:43:04,816 --> 00:43:06,983
            Oh, yes, yes,
            I used to do that
            at that time...

668
00:43:06,985 --> 00:43:09,652
        because that's a very
        old custom, you know--

669
00:43:09,654 --> 00:43:11,721
                the "Ceremony
                of the Wreath."

670
00:43:11,723 --> 00:43:15,391
It was so incredibly
suspenseful and exciting...

671
00:43:15,393 --> 00:43:17,093
to stand down there
and watch you.

672
00:43:17,095 --> 00:43:19,228
Just think-- Just imagine,
what if he were to fall?

673
00:43:19,230 --> 00:43:21,965
    What if the Master Builder
    were to fall?

674
00:43:21,967 --> 00:43:25,568
Yes, well, yes, that could
have happened, actually.

675
00:43:25,570 --> 00:43:29,272
It could have
because one of those
little angels in white,

676
00:43:29,274 --> 00:43:33,309
one of those terrifying
little evil devils...

677
00:43:33,311 --> 00:43:35,378
        was screaming up at me--

678
00:43:35,380 --> 00:43:37,914
"Bravo, Master Builder!"
Yes!

679
00:43:37,916 --> 00:43:41,784
    And she was waving her flag
    around so wildly...

680
00:43:41,786 --> 00:43:44,253
            that when I saw it,
            something happened.

681
00:43:44,255 --> 00:43:46,222
            I-I became dizzy.

682
00:43:51,061 --> 00:43:52,695
                        Look.

683
00:43:57,034 --> 00:43:59,369
    Yes.

684
00:43:59,371 --> 00:44:01,771
That's right. That was you.

685
00:44:09,813 --> 00:44:12,615
I just couldn't believe
that there was a man on earth...

686
00:44:12,617 --> 00:44:15,251
who could build
such a high tower.

687
00:44:15,253 --> 00:44:19,989
And then that very same man
could just stand there
on top of it...

688
00:44:19,991 --> 00:44:22,892
and not become even
the slightest bit dizzy.

689
00:44:22,894 --> 00:44:25,395
Well--

690
00:44:28,065 --> 00:44:30,400
        That's when the thing
        happened which--

691
00:44:32,202 --> 00:44:35,104
Which what?

692
00:44:35,106 --> 00:44:38,941
    Well, I'm sure
    I don't have to remind you
    of that part of the story.

693
00:44:39,843 --> 00:44:42,679
I'm sorry.
Please, I--

694
00:44:47,785 --> 00:44:51,220
    Do you remember
    there was a big banquet held
    in your honor at the club?

695
00:44:51,222 --> 00:44:52,855
Oh, yes, of course.

696
00:44:52,857 --> 00:44:56,392
Well, after the banquet,
you were invited to come over
to our house for tea.

697
00:44:56,394 --> 00:44:58,461
That's absolutely right.

698
00:44:58,463 --> 00:45:00,296
        I must say, Miss Wangel,

699
00:45:00,298 --> 00:45:03,599
it's really rather remarkable
how well you've managed...

700
00:45:03,601 --> 00:45:06,536
        to remember all these
        meaningless details.

701
00:45:06,538 --> 00:45:09,172
"Meaningless details"?

702
00:45:09,174 --> 00:45:12,075
You really are quite funny,
aren't you?

703
00:45:12,077 --> 00:45:16,212
Do you also think
it was a sort of
"meaningless detail"...

704
00:45:16,214 --> 00:45:20,349
that when you came
into the living room,
I was there, completely alone?

705
00:45:20,351 --> 00:45:21,951
                    Were you?

706
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,989
I don't think you called me
an evil devil then.

707
00:45:28,158 --> 00:45:30,059
            I'm sure I didn't.

708
00:45:30,061 --> 00:45:33,262
You said I looked beautiful
in my white dress.

709
00:45:33,264 --> 00:45:34,964
Beautiful.

710
00:45:34,966 --> 00:45:40,069
"Like a very small princess,"
you said.

711
00:45:41,238 --> 00:45:44,240
    I'm sure you did look like
    a princess, Miss Wangel.

712
00:45:44,242 --> 00:45:46,943
And then you said,
when I grew up,

713
00:45:46,945 --> 00:45:49,112
I would be your princess.

714
00:45:49,114 --> 00:45:51,647
I did?
Yeah.

715
00:45:51,649 --> 00:45:53,883
Yes, you did.

716
00:45:53,885 --> 00:45:57,320
And when I asked you
how long I'd have to wait
before you came back,

717
00:45:57,322 --> 00:45:59,889
you said you would return
in 10 years,

718
00:45:59,891 --> 00:46:03,226
and like some weird
half-human mountain creature,

719
00:46:03,228 --> 00:46:05,661
you would seize me,
you would kidnap me,

720
00:46:05,663 --> 00:46:08,698
you would abduct me
and you would carry me off
to Spain.

721
00:46:11,436 --> 00:46:15,138
And there you promised...

722
00:46:15,140 --> 00:46:17,874
you would buy me a kingdom.

723
00:46:17,876 --> 00:46:20,710
I would buy you a kingdom.

724
00:46:20,712 --> 00:46:23,713
                    Yes, yes!

725
00:46:23,715 --> 00:46:26,082
        Well, after a banquet,

726
00:46:26,084 --> 00:46:29,118
            with all sorts
            of lovely things
            to eat and drink,

727
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:33,389
    one would never think
    of buying anything cheap.

728
00:46:35,225 --> 00:46:37,827
            Oh, my God.
            Did I really say
            all those things?

729
00:46:37,829 --> 00:46:39,862
Yes, you did.

730
00:46:43,500 --> 00:46:46,402
You also said
what my kingdom
would be called.

731
00:46:46,404 --> 00:46:48,504
                    Oh? Tell me.

732
00:46:48,506 --> 00:46:50,473
The Kingdom
of Orange Juice.

733
00:46:51,708 --> 00:46:54,911
    Well, that sounds delicious.

734
00:46:54,913 --> 00:46:58,414
Well, I didn't like it.
It was as though you were
trying to make fun of me.

735
00:46:58,416 --> 00:47:01,651
        Well, I'm sure
        I had no desire
        to hurt your feelings.

736
00:47:01,653 --> 00:47:03,619
No, I'm sure you didn't.

737
00:47:03,621 --> 00:47:07,089
I would imagine not,
when you think of what
you were about to do.

738
00:47:07,091 --> 00:47:10,893
            What in the world
            was I about to do?

739
00:47:14,998 --> 00:47:17,433
You're saying now
that you've forgotten that?

740
00:47:18,836 --> 00:47:20,503
I'm sorry.

741
00:47:20,505 --> 00:47:22,104
No, no!

742
00:47:23,507 --> 00:47:26,309
Those are things that
a person remembers forever.

743
00:47:26,311 --> 00:47:28,344
            Please, I'm sorry.

744
00:47:28,346 --> 00:47:30,546
You held me.

745
00:47:30,548 --> 00:47:32,682
You kissed me,
Master Builder Solness.
                        I did?

746
00:47:32,684 --> 00:47:34,784
Yes, you did.

747
00:47:34,786 --> 00:47:37,920
You took hold of me,
and you wrapped your arms
around me,

748
00:47:37,922 --> 00:47:41,591
and you pressed into me so hard
that we leaned over backwards,
and you kissed me.

749
00:47:41,593 --> 00:47:43,459
                        No. No.

750
00:47:43,461 --> 00:47:46,229
No, you can't!
You're not going to say
that you didn't do that!

751
00:47:46,231 --> 00:47:49,265
                No, I absolutely
                did not do that!

752
00:47:51,902 --> 00:47:53,970
    No! No!

753
00:47:53,972 --> 00:47:56,439
            Listen! This story
            that you told me,

754
00:47:56,441 --> 00:47:59,208
        this has to be something
        that you dreamed...

755
00:47:59,210 --> 00:48:03,079
very vividly, maybe,
or--

756
00:48:03,081 --> 00:48:05,314
            Or-- Or, all right.
            All right.

757
00:48:05,316 --> 00:48:09,218
I must have wanted to do it.
I must have felt like doing it.

758
00:48:10,087 --> 00:48:11,954
I must have felt
like doing it,

759
00:48:11,956 --> 00:48:14,757
            and the impression
            of-- of--

760
00:48:14,759 --> 00:48:17,093
                    Oh, yes!
                    All right.

761
00:48:17,095 --> 00:48:20,830
            Yes! Yes, yes! Yes!

762
00:48:20,832 --> 00:48:24,300
            I did. It happened.

763
00:48:24,302 --> 00:48:27,937
So you admit it now?
                        Oh, yes.

764
00:48:27,939 --> 00:48:30,339
You took hold of me.

765
00:48:30,341 --> 00:48:33,409
You wrapped your arms
tightly around me.
                        Oh, yes.

766
00:48:33,411 --> 00:48:37,146
And you pressed into me hard so
that we leaned over backwards,

767
00:48:37,148 --> 00:48:39,815
and you were kissing me
and kissing me again and again.

768
00:48:39,817 --> 00:48:41,384
                That's right.

769
00:48:44,721 --> 00:48:46,422
    So, you see,

770
00:48:48,125 --> 00:48:51,327
I finally lured
the little animal
out of its hole.

771
00:48:53,063 --> 00:48:54,897
I brought it out of you.

772
00:48:54,899 --> 00:48:57,066
            Yes, how strange--

773
00:48:57,068 --> 00:49:00,670
            how strange
            that I could forget
            something like that.

774
00:49:00,672 --> 00:49:04,073
I'm sure
you've kissed so many girls
in the course of your life,

775
00:49:04,075 --> 00:49:05,741
it's hard
to remember them all.

776
00:49:05,743 --> 00:49:08,644
                Don't say that!

777
00:49:08,646 --> 00:49:10,279
                        Don't.

778
00:49:12,849 --> 00:49:15,451
            But then, how did--
            how did--

779
00:49:15,453 --> 00:49:17,486
            What happened then?

780
00:49:21,525 --> 00:49:24,627
        Nothing happened,
        as you know very well,

781
00:49:24,629 --> 00:49:26,996
    'cause all the other guests
    came into the room.

782
00:49:26,998 --> 00:49:28,597
Oh, yes!

783
00:49:29,566 --> 00:49:31,634
        Oh!

784
00:49:31,636 --> 00:49:36,639
Oh, it's so incredible
that I could forget that too.

785
00:49:38,375 --> 00:49:40,276
You haven't actually
forgotten anything.

786
00:49:40,278 --> 00:49:42,545
You're just a little bit--

787
00:49:42,547 --> 00:49:45,581
a little bit embarrassed
about what you did.

788
00:49:47,217 --> 00:49:49,719
People don't forget things
like that. They just don't.

789
00:49:49,721 --> 00:49:54,724
Yes, it would seem impossible
to forget things like that.

790
00:49:59,397 --> 00:50:03,265
Have you perhaps forgotten
one thing anyway?

791
00:50:03,267 --> 00:50:06,235
What day it was.
                What day it was?

792
00:50:06,237 --> 00:50:08,004
Yes. What day it was.

793
00:50:08,006 --> 00:50:10,840
The day when you
carried the wreath
to the top of the tower.

794
00:50:10,842 --> 00:50:12,908
What was the day?
Tell me. Say it.

795
00:50:12,910 --> 00:50:16,145
                What? You mean
                the actual day?

796
00:50:16,147 --> 00:50:20,716
            I mean, I only know
            it was 10 years ago.

797
00:50:20,718 --> 00:50:24,120
                It was the end
                of the summer.
Yes, it was 10 years ago.

798
00:50:24,122 --> 00:50:26,055
It was September the 19th.

799
00:50:26,057 --> 00:50:28,958
        Well, it was definitely
        around then.

800
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:33,329
    My goodness.
    So you remember that too.

801
00:50:36,900 --> 00:50:39,035
                Wait a minute.

802
00:50:40,737 --> 00:50:43,873
        It's September the 19th
        today, isn't it?
Yes.

803
00:50:43,875 --> 00:50:47,777
It's September the 19th today.

804
00:50:47,779 --> 00:50:50,012
And the 10 years are up.

805
00:50:50,014 --> 00:50:53,382
And you didn't come,
as you promised you would.

806
00:50:53,384 --> 00:50:55,351
                Promised?

807
00:50:55,353 --> 00:50:58,988
    Oh, yes, well, I threatened
    to come get you, didn't I?

808
00:50:58,990 --> 00:51:01,023
I didn't see it as a threat.

809
00:51:01,025 --> 00:51:03,592
                Well, a teasing
                sort of threat.

810
00:51:03,594 --> 00:51:07,530
Oh!
Is that what you were doing?
Were you teasing me?

811
00:51:07,532 --> 00:51:11,100
Well, I was joking around.
I was having a little fun
with you.

812
00:51:11,102 --> 00:51:12,768
I don't know.
I don't remember.

813
00:51:12,770 --> 00:51:15,805
Jesus Christ!
That's all it could
possibly have been...

814
00:51:15,807 --> 00:51:18,240
because you were
only a child!

815
00:51:18,242 --> 00:51:20,709
    I don't know
    how much of a child I was.

816
00:51:20,711 --> 00:51:24,146
        I wasn't exactly
        the innocent little girl
        you might think I was.

817
00:51:24,148 --> 00:51:26,115
What are you saying?

818
00:51:28,151 --> 00:51:30,419
            Are you saying...

819
00:51:30,421 --> 00:51:33,122
    that you've quite seriously,
    for 10 years,

820
00:51:33,124 --> 00:51:37,093
    been expecting that I
    would return to Sangerly?

821
00:51:37,095 --> 00:51:41,363
Yes, of course.
That's exactly what I expected.

822
00:51:41,365 --> 00:51:45,801
That I would come to your house
and carry you away with me?

823
00:51:45,803 --> 00:51:49,238
Like some weird
half-human mountain creature.

824
00:51:50,507 --> 00:51:53,576
    And that I would make you
    my princess?

825
00:51:55,045 --> 00:51:57,379
That's what you promised me.

826
00:51:58,949 --> 00:52:02,685
            And that I would
            give you a kingdom?

827
00:52:02,687 --> 00:52:04,854
    Well, why not?

828
00:52:06,456 --> 00:52:10,626
It didn't have to be
the ordinary kind of kingdom.

829
00:52:10,628 --> 00:52:15,631
            No, just something
            that would be just
            as nice as one.

830
00:52:15,633 --> 00:52:17,800
    Yes.

831
00:52:17,802 --> 00:52:22,037
Something that would be
just as nice as one
or maybe nicer.

832
00:52:22,039 --> 00:52:24,039
    After all,

833
00:52:24,041 --> 00:52:27,877
if you could build
the highest church tower
in the world,

834
00:52:27,879 --> 00:52:31,180
surely you could find
some way of creating...

835
00:52:31,182 --> 00:52:35,451
a special sort of kingdom.

836
00:52:37,554 --> 00:52:42,024
Do you know
that I honestly can't
figure you out at all?

837
00:52:42,026 --> 00:52:43,926
                    You can't?

838
00:52:43,928 --> 00:52:45,528
                        Really?

839
00:52:46,663 --> 00:52:48,564
                I'm so simple.

840
00:52:48,566 --> 00:52:51,901
Well, you're not
so simple...

841
00:52:51,903 --> 00:52:55,371
'cause I honestly can't tell
whether you really mean all
these things you're saying...

842
00:52:55,373 --> 00:52:57,740
or whether you're joking.

843
00:52:57,742 --> 00:52:59,942
        Oh, you mean teasing?

844
00:52:59,944 --> 00:53:02,378
        The way you teased me.

845
00:53:03,647 --> 00:53:05,281
And, uh,

846
00:53:05,283 --> 00:53:07,283
by the way,

847
00:53:07,285 --> 00:53:10,920
haven't you known
for all these years...

848
00:53:10,922 --> 00:53:13,489
that I happen to be married?

849
00:53:14,724 --> 00:53:17,793
        Yes, of course.
        Why do you ask me that?

850
00:53:20,864 --> 00:53:22,798
        I don't know. I just--

851
00:53:26,469 --> 00:53:28,337
                    Look.

852
00:53:28,339 --> 00:53:30,472
        Please tell me honestly.

853
00:53:30,474 --> 00:53:32,541
        Why have you come here?

854
00:53:33,710 --> 00:53:35,477
I've come
to take over my kingdom.

855
00:53:35,479 --> 00:53:37,613
The 10 years are up now.

856
00:53:43,653 --> 00:53:47,323
"Bring me my kingdom,
 Master Builder! Now! Now!"

857
00:53:47,325 --> 00:53:50,593
            No, really,
            tell me, tell me.

858
00:53:50,595 --> 00:53:54,430
            Why have you come?
            What do you actually
            want to do here?

859
00:53:54,432 --> 00:53:56,565
What do I want to do?

860
00:53:58,702 --> 00:54:01,904
Ah! Well, first,
before anything,

861
00:54:01,906 --> 00:54:05,374
I so much want to make
a tour of all the buildings
you've built around here.

862
00:54:05,376 --> 00:54:07,243
Well--

863
00:54:09,447 --> 00:54:12,014
        You're gonna have
        a lot of running around
        to do.

864
00:54:12,016 --> 00:54:14,650
Yes, I know.
You've done such
an enormous amount of work.

865
00:54:14,652 --> 00:54:20,389
        Well, I have, especially
        in these last few years.

866
00:54:21,391 --> 00:54:23,959
    Have you done
    a lot of those towers?

867
00:54:23,961 --> 00:54:25,561
    The really high ones?
                        Oh, no.

868
00:54:25,563 --> 00:54:28,230
        I don't do them anymore.

869
00:54:28,232 --> 00:54:30,766
What do you do then?

870
00:54:30,768 --> 00:54:32,568
                I build homes.

871
00:54:32,570 --> 00:54:36,639
    You know, for human beings.

872
00:54:36,641 --> 00:54:39,041
    I wonder,

873
00:54:39,043 --> 00:54:43,946
wouldn't it be possible
to build something
like a church tower...

874
00:54:43,948 --> 00:54:46,515
on people's homes?

875
00:54:46,517 --> 00:54:50,019
            God, it's remarkable
            that you say that...

876
00:54:50,021 --> 00:54:52,621
            'cause, you know,
            that's exactly what
            I'd like to do...

877
00:54:52,623 --> 00:54:54,623
            more than anything
            in the world.

878
00:54:54,625 --> 00:54:58,227
Why don't you do it?
            Ah, because people
            don't want it.

879
00:54:58,229 --> 00:55:00,929
That is unbelievable!

880
00:55:00,931 --> 00:55:02,531
They don't want it?

881
00:55:02,533 --> 00:55:04,566
God, that's just incredible!

882
00:55:04,568 --> 00:55:09,605
But just now, I'm building
a new home for Aline and myself
just in front here.

883
00:55:09,607 --> 00:55:12,708
Really?
    Yeah, it's almost finished.

884
00:55:12,710 --> 00:55:17,146
    And on top of that home,
    oh, yes, there is a tower.

885
00:55:17,148 --> 00:55:19,381
    A high one?
                        Oh, yes!

886
00:55:19,383 --> 00:55:20,949
A very high one?
                    Believe me.

887
00:55:20,951 --> 00:55:24,987
        The people around here
        are going to say
        it's much too high.

888
00:55:27,824 --> 00:55:33,796
        So tell me now,
        what's your first name?

889
00:55:37,334 --> 00:55:38,934
    You don't--

890
00:55:41,071 --> 00:55:45,407
You don't remember
that my first name is Hilde?

891
00:55:46,843 --> 00:55:48,811
                    Oh, Hilde.

892
00:55:48,813 --> 00:55:50,646
                Of course.

893
00:55:50,648 --> 00:55:53,949
You certainly called me that
10 years ago.
                    I did, eh?

894
00:55:53,951 --> 00:55:56,785
Actually,
you called me "little Hilde."
That I didn't like.

895
00:55:56,787 --> 00:56:00,389
    Oh, no?
    You didn't like it that I
    called you "little Hilde"?

896
00:56:00,391 --> 00:56:02,991
No, I didn't.
But in any case,

897
00:56:02,993 --> 00:56:06,662
now... I quite like the sound
of "Princess Hilde."

898
00:56:06,664 --> 00:56:09,565
Exactly.

899
00:56:11,768 --> 00:56:13,302
                    Oh, Hilde.

900
00:56:13,304 --> 00:56:19,274
    It is so good for me
    that you came here
    at this particular moment.

901
00:56:19,276 --> 00:56:22,077
    It is? Really?

902
00:56:22,079 --> 00:56:24,513
Because I have been
sitting here in this house...

903
00:56:24,515 --> 00:56:27,916
with a feeling
of being completely alone...

904
00:56:27,918 --> 00:56:33,555
and just sort
of staring helplessly
at absolutely everything.

905
00:56:33,557 --> 00:56:35,391
And you know,
the funny thing is...

906
00:56:35,393 --> 00:56:39,328
that I've become so disturbed
by younger people.

907
00:56:39,330 --> 00:56:41,997
        What?

908
00:56:41,999 --> 00:56:43,999
Younger people?

909
00:56:44,001 --> 00:56:46,001
        They upset me so much...

910
00:56:46,003 --> 00:56:50,072
        that I've sort of
        closed my door here
        and locked myself in.

911
00:56:50,074 --> 00:56:53,375
        I mean, I'm afraid that
        they're gonna come here,

912
00:56:53,377 --> 00:56:55,544
            and they're gonna
            knock on the door,

913
00:56:55,546 --> 00:56:57,446
            and then they're
            going to break in.

914
00:56:59,082 --> 00:57:04,453
Well, I think you
should just open the door
and let them in.

915
00:57:07,524 --> 00:57:09,758
                Open the door?
Yes.

916
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:11,894
                Yes.

917
00:57:11,896 --> 00:57:18,400
So that they can gently
and quietly come inside,

918
00:57:18,402 --> 00:57:21,570
and it can be
something good for you.

919
00:57:21,572 --> 00:57:25,207
                Open the door?
Can you?

920
00:57:25,209 --> 00:57:30,045
Master Builder,
can you in some way
make use of me?

921
00:57:31,582 --> 00:57:34,883
            Well, are you two
            still talking?

922
00:57:34,885 --> 00:57:38,654
Well, you know,
we found quite a bit
to talk about.

923
00:57:38,656 --> 00:57:40,255
    Yes, it's been
    wonderfully interesting...

924
00:57:40,257 --> 00:57:42,424
        because Master Builder
        Solness...

925
00:57:42,426 --> 00:57:44,193
        has such an absolutely
        incredible memory.

926
00:57:44,195 --> 00:57:48,263
He instantly recalls even
the most meaningless details.

927
00:57:51,234 --> 00:57:54,870
        Your room
        is all ready for you,
        Miss Wangel.

928
00:57:55,939 --> 00:57:59,308
Oh, one of
the children's rooms?

929
00:57:59,310 --> 00:58:01,844
            Yes, the middle one,
            but, um--

930
00:58:01,846 --> 00:58:05,981
So... Hilde will sleep
in one of the children's rooms.

931
00:58:05,983 --> 00:58:07,816
                        Hilde?

932
00:58:07,818 --> 00:58:12,955
Yes, Miss Wangel
is called Hilde.

933
00:58:12,957 --> 00:58:14,723
And do you know,

934
00:58:14,725 --> 00:58:18,393
I knew Hilde
when she was a child.

935
00:58:18,395 --> 00:58:21,830
        You did?
        Well, Halvard, really?

936
00:58:58,134 --> 00:58:59,735
    Hello.

937
00:59:03,907 --> 00:59:06,074
    I just wanted to tell you
    that I'm here.

938
00:59:06,076 --> 00:59:08,143
                    Good. Good.

939
00:59:11,281 --> 00:59:13,415
                How's old Brovik
                doing today?

940
00:59:13,417 --> 00:59:15,250
Not very well.

941
00:59:15,252 --> 00:59:18,120
He wanted me to tell you
that he's terribly sorry,

942
00:59:18,122 --> 00:59:20,522
but he has to
spend the day in bed.

943
00:59:20,524 --> 00:59:23,959
            Oh, of course.
            He must stay in bed.

944
00:59:23,961 --> 00:59:27,629
    Well, you can get to work,
    if you like.

945
00:59:30,199 --> 00:59:31,767
    See you later.

946
00:59:42,546 --> 00:59:45,047
The next one to die, so...

947
00:59:45,049 --> 00:59:49,051
he's on his way too now,
I'd say.

948
00:59:49,053 --> 00:59:51,954
        "He's on his way too"?
        What's that supposed
        to mean?

949
00:59:51,956 --> 00:59:53,855
Old Brovik.

950
00:59:53,857 --> 00:59:56,358
He's certainly
going to die.

951
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:59,928
We'll be hearing
about his death
any day now, I'd say.

952
01:00:00,763 --> 01:00:02,998
                Aline, darling.

953
01:00:04,434 --> 01:00:07,135
        Do you think
        maybe you should
        go out for a while...

954
01:00:07,137 --> 01:00:09,271
and take a little walk
        or something?

955
01:00:09,273 --> 01:00:11,173
Yes, absolutely.

956
01:00:11,175 --> 01:00:14,209
That's exactly the thing
I need to do.

957
01:00:24,354 --> 01:00:27,589
            Is she still asleep?

958
01:00:27,591 --> 01:00:29,591
You're wondering
about Miss Wangel?

959
01:00:29,593 --> 01:00:31,593
            Yes, I just suddenly
            wondered--

960
01:00:31,595 --> 01:00:33,562
I'm sure she's
been up for hours.

961
01:00:33,564 --> 01:00:35,130
                        Really?
Mm-hmm.

962
01:00:35,132 --> 01:00:37,299
When I went in
to look in on her,

963
01:00:37,301 --> 01:00:41,770
she was busy arranging
all of her little things.

964
01:00:41,772 --> 01:00:46,441
        Well, we've finally
        found a good use for one
        of the children's rooms,

965
01:00:46,443 --> 01:00:48,377
            haven't we, Aline?

966
01:00:49,746 --> 01:00:52,080
Yes, at last.

967
01:00:52,082 --> 01:00:56,051
        I mean, it's wonderful
        to not just leave
        all of them empty.

968
01:00:56,053 --> 01:00:57,986
You're quite right,
Halvard.

969
01:00:58,855 --> 01:01:01,790
The nightmare
of that emptiness.

970
01:01:06,029 --> 01:01:09,364
Things are gonna
        be better, my darling.

971
01:01:09,366 --> 01:01:10,966
Believe me,

972
01:01:10,968 --> 01:01:13,001
        things are gonna start
        to get better.

973
01:01:13,003 --> 01:01:16,104
            Everything is gonna
            be easier and nicer
            for both of us.

974
01:01:16,106 --> 01:01:19,408
"Things are going
 to start to get better"?

975
01:01:19,410 --> 01:01:21,109
Believe me, Aline.

976
01:01:21,111 --> 01:01:23,345
You mean because
that girl's come here?

977
01:01:23,347 --> 01:01:25,180
Hmm?

978
01:01:25,182 --> 01:01:27,816
            No, I was talking
            about the fact...

979
01:01:27,818 --> 01:01:32,054
        that we're gonna move
        into our new house.

980
01:01:32,056 --> 01:01:34,089
Do you believe that,
Halvard?

981
01:01:34,091 --> 01:01:36,992
Do you really believe
that's gonna make things
better?

982
01:01:36,994 --> 01:01:39,127
                I don't doubt it
                for a second.

983
01:01:39,129 --> 01:01:41,596
            I mean, you think
            that too, don't you?

984
01:01:41,598 --> 01:01:43,498
    No.

985
01:01:43,500 --> 01:01:47,569
Because when I think about
the new house, I go blank.

986
01:01:47,571 --> 01:01:50,172
I feel absolutely nothing.

987
01:01:52,842 --> 01:01:56,244
    You know it's very hard
    for me when you say things
    like that, Aline,

988
01:01:56,246 --> 01:02:00,115
        because, I mean, I--
        you're the main reason--

989
01:02:00,117 --> 01:02:03,685
            I built it for you.
Yes, for me.

990
01:02:03,687 --> 01:02:06,788
You do much too much
"for me."

991
01:02:09,025 --> 01:02:13,261
            I mean, I'm still
            gonna tell you...

992
01:02:13,263 --> 01:02:16,431
            you're going to see
            that I'm right.

993
01:02:16,433 --> 01:02:18,266
                Things are going
                to be nice.

994
01:02:18,268 --> 01:02:21,470
    They're gonna be very,
    very nice for you, Aline,

995
01:02:21,472 --> 01:02:23,238
            when we move into
            the new--

996
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:25,707
"Nice for me."
            Yes, they will be...

997
01:02:25,709 --> 01:02:27,943
        because there's going
        to be so much there...

998
01:02:27,945 --> 01:02:30,245
        that's gonna remind you
        of your--

999
01:02:30,247 --> 01:02:32,380
Parents' house?

1000
01:02:32,382 --> 01:02:35,150
It's gonna remind me
of my parents' house...

1001
01:02:35,152 --> 01:02:37,285
that burned down
in the fire.

1002
01:02:37,287 --> 01:02:40,122
                Aline, darling.
Don't you understand...

1003
01:02:40,124 --> 01:02:44,292
that you can work and build
for the rest of your life,
Halvard,

1004
01:02:44,294 --> 01:02:49,030
but you will never be able
to give me back a home
that feels right to me!

1005
01:02:49,032 --> 01:02:52,100
    Well, then for God's sake,

1006
01:02:52,102 --> 01:02:55,537
        let's not talk anymore
        about the subject.

1007
01:02:57,039 --> 01:02:59,441
We never do
talk about it anyway.

1008
01:02:59,443 --> 01:03:01,610
I mean, you avoid
the subject.
            I avoid the subject?

1009
01:03:01,612 --> 01:03:03,245
I avoid the subject?

1010
01:03:03,247 --> 01:03:04,980
                Why in the world
                would I do that?

1011
01:03:04,982 --> 01:03:06,915
Halvard, I know you so well.

1012
01:03:06,917 --> 01:03:10,185
You really would like
to save me from everything
that weighs down on me.

1013
01:03:10,187 --> 01:03:12,120
You'd like to
pardon me too.

1014
01:03:12,122 --> 01:03:14,723
        - Pardon you?
        - Yes, me!

1015
01:03:14,725 --> 01:03:16,057
                This again?

1016
01:03:18,294 --> 01:03:23,331
But-- Because
with my parents' house,

1017
01:03:23,333 --> 01:03:26,468
whatever was gonna happen
was gonna happen.

1018
01:03:26,470 --> 01:03:30,839
When terrible things
start to fall out of the sky,
you can't stop them.

1019
01:03:30,841 --> 01:03:32,407
                    Of course.

1020
01:03:32,409 --> 01:03:34,442
But the horror is
what happened after the fire.

1021
01:03:34,444 --> 01:03:36,912
That's the thing.
That-- That-- That--
                        Aline.

1022
01:03:36,914 --> 01:03:39,347
Aline, Aline.

1023
01:03:39,349 --> 01:03:44,052
    You have to promise me that
    you'll never start thinking
    like this again.

1024
01:03:44,054 --> 01:03:46,521
Promise you.
Promise all you like.

1025
01:03:46,523 --> 01:03:50,258
            Oh, my God.
            It's so hopeless.
            It's so hopeless.

1026
01:03:50,260 --> 01:03:52,994
                There's never
                a ray of light.

1027
01:03:52,996 --> 01:03:55,630
        There's never
        a ray of light.

1028
01:03:55,632 --> 01:04:01,570
There's never one ray of light
inside this home we live in.

1029
01:04:01,572 --> 01:04:04,272
Halvard,
this isn't a home.

1030
01:04:06,209 --> 01:04:07,909
                    All right.

1031
01:04:09,278 --> 01:04:10,946
                        Fine.

1032
01:04:12,515 --> 01:04:14,482
                    It isn't.
    No.

1033
01:04:18,021 --> 01:04:20,422
        Aline, let's be serious.

1034
01:04:20,424 --> 01:04:22,591
                Do you think...

1035
01:04:22,593 --> 01:04:25,894
            that you might
            just possibly be
            going around here,

1036
01:04:25,896 --> 01:04:27,495
            looking to see...

1037
01:04:27,497 --> 01:04:30,498
        if there's a special
        hidden significance...

1038
01:04:30,500 --> 01:04:33,368
        in the things I do
        and the things I say?

1039
01:04:33,370 --> 01:04:34,903
What? Am I what?

1040
01:04:36,573 --> 01:04:39,574
    No, it's--
    it's totally understandable,
    Aline.

1041
01:04:39,576 --> 01:04:41,142
                I mean,
                it really is.

1042
01:04:41,144 --> 01:04:43,578
        How else are you
        supposed to behave...

1043
01:04:43,580 --> 01:04:46,248
        when you have to cope
        with a mentally sick man
        in the house?

1044
01:04:46,250 --> 01:04:49,484
"Mentally sick."

1045
01:04:50,486 --> 01:04:52,687
Are you mentally sick?

1046
01:04:52,689 --> 01:04:55,657
        Well, now,
        let's not say "sick."

1047
01:04:55,659 --> 01:04:57,626
            Let's just say
            a bit disturbed.

1048
01:04:57,628 --> 01:05:00,962
Oh, for Christ's sake,
Halvard.
            A bit unbalanced.

1049
01:05:03,066 --> 01:05:06,034
                But-- But oddly,
                you're mistaken.

1050
01:05:07,069 --> 01:05:10,272
        You and the doctor
        are completely mistaken,

1051
01:05:10,274 --> 01:05:13,508
    because there's absolutely
    nothing wrong with me.

1052
01:05:13,510 --> 01:05:17,178
Well, of course there isn't.
So what are you so upset about?

1053
01:05:17,847 --> 01:05:19,681
                Upset?

1054
01:05:19,683 --> 01:05:21,416
            Am I upset?

1055
01:05:23,819 --> 01:05:28,390
        I think I might be upset
        because of the burden
        of all the guilt, Aline.

1056
01:05:29,492 --> 01:05:31,459
I haven't
                done anything,

1057
01:05:31,461 --> 01:05:33,428
            and yet I feel...

1058
01:05:33,430 --> 01:05:37,198
        I'm being ground down
        into the dirt,

1059
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:40,201
        overpowered by guilt.

1060
01:05:42,872 --> 01:05:44,372
Towards me?

1061
01:05:44,374 --> 01:05:46,775
        Well, yes, yes.
        Towards you, my dear.

1062
01:05:46,777 --> 01:05:49,711
Well then, Halvard,

1063
01:05:49,713 --> 01:05:51,813
you really are sick.

1064
01:05:51,815 --> 01:05:53,381
You are.

1065
01:05:53,383 --> 01:05:56,952
    Well, I suppose I must be,
    or something of that nature.

1066
01:05:59,722 --> 01:06:04,125
        Oh. Now, this lets in
        a little light,
        now, doesn't it, Aline?

1067
01:06:04,127 --> 01:06:06,261
Good morning,
Master Builder.

1068
01:06:06,263 --> 01:06:08,563
- Did you sleep well?
- Yes, sir. It was wonderful.

1069
01:06:08,565 --> 01:06:11,533
It was as if I were being
rocked in a cradle.

1070
01:06:11,535 --> 01:06:16,171
I just lay there and...
I stretched out like a princess.

1071
01:06:16,173 --> 01:06:18,440
            Very appropriate.

1072
01:06:20,410 --> 01:06:23,211
        Did you dream
        a little bit too, maybe?

1073
01:06:23,213 --> 01:06:25,447
Yes, but that was awful.
                            Oh?

1074
01:06:25,449 --> 01:06:28,350
I dreamt that I was falling down
an enormously high, steep cliff.

1075
01:06:28,352 --> 01:06:30,452
Do you ever
have that dream?
                        Yes!

1076
01:06:30,454 --> 01:06:32,187
            Sometimes I do!

1077
01:06:32,189 --> 01:06:34,255
It's horrible, but it's
also this exciting feeling,

1078
01:06:34,257 --> 01:06:37,359
the way you sort of drift down
farther and farther.

1079
01:06:37,361 --> 01:06:41,663
            There's a sort of
            icy sensation,
            cold, freezing.

1080
01:06:41,665 --> 01:06:45,367
Yes! Do you sometimes
pull your legs up under you
as you fall?

1081
01:06:45,369 --> 01:06:47,736
    - Right up to my chest!
    - Yes! Yes!

1082
01:06:47,738 --> 01:06:51,906
Halvard, I guess I'd better
go into town now.

1083
01:06:51,908 --> 01:06:54,576
I, um--

1084
01:06:54,578 --> 01:06:57,379
I'll see if I can find you
a few clothes...

1085
01:06:57,381 --> 01:07:00,315
and some other things
you're obviously gonna need.

1086
01:07:00,317 --> 01:07:02,817
    Dear, lovely Mrs. Solness,
    that's so incredibly
    kind of you.

1087
01:07:02,819 --> 01:07:04,319
    You're being so kind to me.

1088
01:07:04,321 --> 01:07:08,023
Minimal obligation
to a guest.

1089
01:07:08,025 --> 01:07:10,191
            I'm not kind at all.

1090
01:07:12,528 --> 01:07:14,596
Oh, wh-- I mean--

1091
01:07:14,598 --> 01:07:19,000
I can perfectly well
go to town myself
and get what I need.

1092
01:07:19,002 --> 01:07:23,304
To be absolutely frank,
I think you might possibly
attract attention there somehow.

1093
01:07:24,140 --> 01:07:26,241
Attention?

1094
01:07:29,045 --> 01:07:30,779
Really?

1095
01:07:33,583 --> 01:07:36,251
    Attention?
    Really?

1096
01:07:36,253 --> 01:07:38,620
Well, that would be fun,
wouldn't it?

1097
01:07:38,622 --> 01:07:41,022
            Mmm, but then...

1098
01:07:41,024 --> 01:07:44,793
    people there
    might start to think
    that you, too, were crazy.

1099
01:07:44,795 --> 01:07:46,561
Crazy? Why?

1100
01:07:46,563 --> 01:07:49,931
Is there an enormous number
of crazy people
here in your town?

1101
01:07:49,933 --> 01:07:52,901
        Well, there--
        there's-- there's a--

1102
01:07:52,903 --> 01:07:54,769
Oh!

1103
01:07:54,771 --> 01:07:56,838
    Stop it! Stop it!

1104
01:08:03,079 --> 01:08:07,615
    - Do you mean that you
      haven't noticed it yet?
    - No. No. Absolutely not.

1105
01:08:08,951 --> 01:08:10,418
    I mean--

1106
01:08:11,420 --> 01:08:14,089
I mean, no--
Maybe, you know--

1107
01:08:14,091 --> 01:08:17,058
Maybe in--
in one particular way.

1108
01:08:17,060 --> 01:08:18,626
            Whoa.
            Did you hear that,
            Aline?

1109
01:08:18,628 --> 01:08:22,197
- Yeah? Well, what is
  that one particular way?
- I'm not gonna say.

1110
01:08:22,199 --> 01:08:24,866
- Come on. Tell us.
- No. Do you think I'm crazy?

1111
01:08:24,868 --> 01:08:29,137
I'm sure when you two are alone,
she'll tell you, Halvard.

1112
01:08:29,139 --> 01:08:31,539
                Really?
                Do you think so?
    Yes, I do.

1113
01:08:31,541 --> 01:08:34,609
Because you knew her
        so well at one time,

1114
01:08:34,611 --> 01:08:36,744
        when she was a child.

1115
01:08:38,147 --> 01:08:40,315
I believe you told me.

1116
01:08:46,522 --> 01:08:48,189
            So--

1117
01:08:55,131 --> 01:08:56,831
So...

1118
01:08:59,635 --> 01:09:03,471
is your wife just incapable
of liking me at all?

1119
01:09:05,574 --> 01:09:07,041
            I'm sorry. I--

1120
01:09:07,043 --> 01:09:08,710
    I mean, uh--

1121
01:09:09,745 --> 01:09:12,480
        In these last few years,

1122
01:09:14,350 --> 01:09:18,820
                Aline has become
                very reclusive,

1123
01:09:18,822 --> 01:09:21,356
                ill at ease
                around people.

1124
01:09:21,358 --> 01:09:23,291
    Yes.

1125
01:09:23,293 --> 01:09:26,761
    If only you could
    get to know her a little.

1126
01:09:26,763 --> 01:09:28,630
            She's actually...

1127
01:09:28,632 --> 01:09:32,500
            a kind, good,
            wonderful person.

1128
01:09:33,035 --> 01:09:35,370
If she's so kind,

1129
01:09:35,372 --> 01:09:38,506
why did she talk that way
about obligation?

1130
01:09:39,175 --> 01:09:40,909
            Obligation?

1131
01:09:40,911 --> 01:09:42,510
    Yes.

1132
01:09:42,512 --> 01:09:45,580
She said she would
go buy me some things
out of obligation.

1133
01:09:45,582 --> 01:09:50,218
Christ, I hate that word.
It's so revolting, so ugly.

1134
01:09:50,220 --> 01:09:51,986
                "Obligation"?

1135
01:09:51,988 --> 01:09:54,656
I mean, if she really is
so kind as you say she is,

1136
01:09:54,658 --> 01:09:57,025
why would she
use a word like that?

1137
01:09:57,027 --> 01:10:01,796
But what sort of words do you
think that she should have used?

1138
01:10:01,798 --> 01:10:05,033
Well, she might have said
that she wanted to go
buy me some things...

1139
01:10:05,035 --> 01:10:08,570
because she liked me very much
and she wanted to do it.

1140
01:10:08,572 --> 01:10:10,572
That's what
she could have said.

1141
01:10:10,574 --> 01:10:13,274
    Something warm,
    from her heart.

1142
01:10:16,478 --> 01:10:20,381
        That's what you hoped
        that Aline would say?

1143
01:10:22,518 --> 01:10:25,853
    Are you the one who's
    done all these drawings?
                            No!

1144
01:10:27,256 --> 01:10:29,257
            They were done by...

1145
01:10:29,259 --> 01:10:31,759
                a young man
                whom I have here
                assisting me.

1146
01:10:31,761 --> 01:10:33,461
                Oh.

1147
01:10:33,463 --> 01:10:36,197
Someone you've trained?
                        Yes.

1148
01:10:36,199 --> 01:10:39,200
An advanced practitioner?

1149
01:10:39,202 --> 01:10:43,371
        Do you think you can
        tell that from looking
        at those drawings?

1150
01:10:43,373 --> 01:10:45,206
No.

1151
01:10:45,208 --> 01:10:48,243
I just meant that
if he studied with you,
he must be very advanced.

1152
01:10:48,245 --> 01:10:50,078
Believe me,

1153
01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:52,614
    there are
    a lot of people around here
    who have studied with me,

1154
01:10:52,616 --> 01:10:55,817
        and they haven't become
        very advanced at all.

1155
01:10:55,819 --> 01:10:58,620
Why do you take on
all these students?
I don't understand.

1156
01:10:58,622 --> 01:11:00,822
                    Well--
I think it's absurd.

1157
01:11:00,824 --> 01:11:03,524
You shouldn't teach students
the things that you know.

1158
01:11:03,526 --> 01:11:07,662
You're the only one who should
be allowed to build. You should
get all the jobs yourself.

1159
01:11:07,664 --> 01:11:09,364
                    Hilde!
    What?

1160
01:11:09,366 --> 01:11:11,633
            Hilde,
            that is outrageous!

1161
01:11:13,136 --> 01:11:15,336
                Wait. Is that
                the new house?

1162
01:11:15,338 --> 01:11:18,773
        What? Over by
        the stone quarry? Yes!

1163
01:11:18,775 --> 01:11:20,241
            It's so big!

1164
01:11:20,243 --> 01:11:22,477
Yes!

1165
01:11:25,047 --> 01:11:29,584
So... does that one
have children's rooms also?

1166
01:11:29,586 --> 01:11:31,152
                        Yes.

1167
01:11:31,154 --> 01:11:32,687
            Hmm.

1168
01:11:32,689 --> 01:11:35,089
    Children's rooms,
    but no children.

1169
01:11:35,091 --> 01:11:36,924
                        Yes.
        Hmm.

1170
01:11:36,926 --> 01:11:40,328
Well, then wasn't I possibly
just a little bit right?

1171
01:11:40,330 --> 01:11:41,929
            What do you mean?

1172
01:11:41,931 --> 01:11:45,500
I mean that you really are
just a little bit crazy.

1173
01:11:45,502 --> 01:11:49,704
Was that what you meant
        when you said that?

1174
01:11:49,706 --> 01:11:51,572
            Yes.

1175
01:11:51,574 --> 01:11:54,709
I was thinking of all these
empty children's rooms.

1176
01:11:58,580 --> 01:12:00,815
Well, Hilde,

1177
01:12:02,284 --> 01:12:05,653
            you see, Aline and I
            did have children.

1178
01:12:06,989 --> 01:12:11,326
            Um, two little boys.
            Twins.

1179
01:12:11,328 --> 01:12:14,529
            This was
            quite some time ago.

1180
01:12:16,498 --> 01:12:18,533
            And they're both--

1181
01:12:19,468 --> 01:12:21,569
            Well,
            we only had them...

1182
01:12:21,571 --> 01:12:24,372
        for a little bit less
        than three weeks.

1183
01:12:24,374 --> 01:12:26,641
            And then they died.

1184
01:12:29,778 --> 01:12:32,213
                    Oh, Hilde.

1185
01:12:32,215 --> 01:12:36,617
            It's so good for me
            that you came to me.

1186
01:12:37,886 --> 01:12:41,556
It's such a wonderful feeling
to have someone to talk with.

1187
01:12:42,391 --> 01:12:45,093
You mean
you can't talk with her?

1188
01:12:46,362 --> 01:12:49,330
        Well, not in the way
        I want to talk...

1189
01:12:49,332 --> 01:12:51,632
        and need to talk.

1190
01:12:51,634 --> 01:12:54,502
        I mean, we simply can't
        talk about this.

1191
01:12:54,504 --> 01:12:56,971
        Or about most things,
        really.

1192
01:12:59,274 --> 01:13:02,877
Was that what you meant
yesterday when you said
that you needed me?

1193
01:13:04,246 --> 01:13:07,515
Was that the only thing,
or--

1194
01:13:16,191 --> 01:13:17,792
    See,

1195
01:13:18,594 --> 01:13:20,862
over there,
on the high ground,

1196
01:13:20,864 --> 01:13:23,598
where you can see
the new house,

1197
01:13:25,300 --> 01:13:29,404
well, that was where
Aline and I had lived
when we were first married.

1198
01:13:30,572 --> 01:13:33,274
Because at that time,
there was an old house there...

1199
01:13:33,276 --> 01:13:36,377
that had belonged
to her mother and--

1200
01:13:36,379 --> 01:13:41,682
That house had been given to us,
along with this whole,
enormous garden around it.

1201
01:13:41,684 --> 01:13:44,185
            Did that house
            also have a tower?

1202
01:13:44,187 --> 01:13:46,320
Oh, no.

1203
01:13:46,322 --> 01:13:47,855
Nothing like that.

1204
01:13:47,857 --> 01:13:50,758
On the contrary,
from the outside,

1205
01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:54,762
that house
was actually, uh,

1206
01:13:54,764 --> 01:13:59,567
just a huge, dark,
depressing, ugly box.

1207
01:13:59,569 --> 01:14:03,404
But inside, though,
it was actually very comfortable
and cozy and--

1208
01:14:03,406 --> 01:14:05,773
and... that was
where we lived...

1209
01:14:05,775 --> 01:14:08,776
when the two little boys
were born.

1210
01:14:08,778 --> 01:14:11,512
When they first
came into the world,

1211
01:14:11,514 --> 01:14:14,282
they were
so healthy and strong.

1212
01:14:14,284 --> 01:14:17,752
They were growing every day.
You could actually see it.

1213
01:14:17,754 --> 01:14:21,122
        Yes, they grow so fast
        in the first few days.

1214
01:14:21,124 --> 01:14:25,193
And the sight of Aline,
lying in bed with
the two little babies,

1215
01:14:25,195 --> 01:14:29,163
that was
the most beautiful sight
you could ever see in your life.

1216
01:14:30,432 --> 01:14:33,334
But then one night,
we had a fire.

1217
01:14:33,336 --> 01:14:35,570
                        A fire?

1218
01:14:35,572 --> 01:14:37,905
                What happened?

1219
01:14:37,907 --> 01:14:40,475
Well, that was
a terrible night.

1220
01:14:41,477 --> 01:14:44,645
Alarms. Chaos.

1221
01:14:44,647 --> 01:14:47,515
Everybody scrambling
and pushing,

1222
01:14:47,517 --> 01:14:50,918
outside at night
in the freezing cold.

1223
01:14:50,920 --> 01:14:54,489
Aline and the boys
carried out in their beds.

1224
01:14:54,491 --> 01:14:56,557
Well, Aline...

1225
01:14:57,693 --> 01:15:00,361
went into a state
of sheer terror,

1226
01:15:00,363 --> 01:15:04,432
and as a result
she developed a fever.

1227
01:15:04,434 --> 01:15:07,134
And that, in turn,
affected her milk.

1228
01:15:07,136 --> 01:15:11,138
And she insisted
that she had to nurse
the little babies herself,

1229
01:15:11,140 --> 01:15:12,940
no matter how ill she was.

1230
01:15:12,942 --> 01:15:16,911
She said
that was her obligation.

1231
01:15:16,913 --> 01:15:20,548
So both of the little boys
got sick,

1232
01:15:20,550 --> 01:15:23,084
and they both died.

1233
01:15:23,086 --> 01:15:25,720
        They couldn't survive
        drinking the milk?

1234
01:15:25,722 --> 01:15:27,788
No, that's right.

1235
01:15:28,857 --> 01:15:31,959
            That must have been
            so hard for you,

1236
01:15:31,961 --> 01:15:33,427
                so painful.

1237
01:15:33,429 --> 01:15:34,929
Yes.

1238
01:15:34,931 --> 01:15:38,399
It was 10 times worse
for Aline.

1239
01:15:38,401 --> 01:15:40,968
I mean,
can you believe this,

1240
01:15:40,970 --> 01:15:44,772
that things like that
are allowed to happen
in the world?

1241
01:15:44,774 --> 01:15:50,144
From the day I lost my boys,
I hated building churches.

1242
01:15:50,146 --> 01:15:53,080
And now I don't build
anything like that anymore.

1243
01:15:53,082 --> 01:15:55,449
        Only homes,
        where people can live.

1244
01:15:55,451 --> 01:15:57,718
Homes for people.

1245
01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:01,122
        Homes with high towers
        and spires though.
            Yes.

1246
01:16:01,124 --> 01:16:04,592
I must admit
I do prefer them that way.

1247
01:16:05,894 --> 01:16:07,295
        Anyway--

1248
01:16:07,297 --> 01:16:10,798
See, that fire lifted me up
to a great height...

1249
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:13,467
as a master builder...

1250
01:16:13,469 --> 01:16:17,271
because, see,
I parceled out almost
that whole piece of land...

1251
01:16:17,273 --> 01:16:19,540
into lots for houses,

1252
01:16:19,542 --> 01:16:22,977
and of course I was the one who
was able to build the houses.

1253
01:16:22,979 --> 01:16:26,747
And after that,
everything started
going in my direction.

1254
01:16:28,183 --> 01:16:31,419
You must be a very happy man,
the way it's all gone for you.

1255
01:16:31,421 --> 01:16:35,723
Now you're saying that too,
like everybody else.

1256
01:16:35,725 --> 01:16:37,758
            Well, you must be.

1257
01:16:37,760 --> 01:16:39,393
            I think
            that you must be...

1258
01:16:39,395 --> 01:16:43,497
        if only you could
        manage to stop thinking
        all the time...

1259
01:16:43,499 --> 01:16:44,966
        about those
        two little children--

1260
01:16:44,968 --> 01:16:47,268
Well, Hilde--
        I mean, do they still...

1261
01:16:47,270 --> 01:16:50,104
        stand in the way of
        everything all the time,

1262
01:16:50,106 --> 01:16:51,539
        after all these years?

1263
01:16:51,541 --> 01:16:55,543
But don't you see that in order
to get that opportunity...

1264
01:16:55,545 --> 01:16:57,244
to build homes
for other people,

1265
01:16:57,246 --> 01:17:00,314
I had to give up forever
any hope at all...

1266
01:17:00,316 --> 01:17:03,084
of having a home myself?

1267
01:17:04,386 --> 01:17:08,356
I mean, a home with a mother
and a father and children.

1268
01:17:11,293 --> 01:17:13,461
            You mean, because--

1269
01:17:13,463 --> 01:17:15,363
That was the price
I had to pay...

1270
01:17:15,365 --> 01:17:19,367
for all this wonderful
good fortune that people
love to talk about.

1271
01:17:20,469 --> 01:17:22,370
                    And yet...

1272
01:17:22,372 --> 01:17:24,372
                you're building
                a home...

1273
01:17:24,374 --> 01:17:26,407
        with rooms for children.

1274
01:17:30,479 --> 01:17:32,146
    Hilde.

1275
01:17:33,582 --> 01:17:35,249
Have you ever noticed...

1276
01:17:36,818 --> 01:17:40,721
that sometimes the thing
which is impossible...

1277
01:17:41,923 --> 01:17:44,692
can somehow
still tempt you,

1278
01:17:44,694 --> 01:17:47,094
can somehow
still cry out to you?

1279
01:17:47,963 --> 01:17:49,964
        So you know
        about that too, do you?

1280
01:17:49,966 --> 01:17:52,233
Yes, Hilde, I do.

1281
01:17:52,235 --> 01:17:54,669
            Well, it sounds like
            there might be...

1282
01:17:54,671 --> 01:17:57,672
        some weird, half-human
        mountain creature...

1283
01:17:57,674 --> 01:18:00,608
        just running around
        somewhere inside you.

1284
01:18:00,610 --> 01:18:03,077
Yes, maybe.

1285
01:18:03,079 --> 01:18:08,115
But you see, there's always
a balancing that has to occur.

1286
01:18:09,518 --> 01:18:12,887
In other words,
everything I've done,
everything I've achieved,

1287
01:18:12,889 --> 01:18:15,289
it all has to be balanced out.

1288
01:18:15,291 --> 01:18:17,258
Has to be paid for.

1289
01:18:18,427 --> 01:18:20,995
Even after the down payment,

1290
01:18:20,997 --> 01:18:23,898
a price must still be paid.

1291
01:18:23,900 --> 01:18:26,734
And the currency...

1292
01:18:26,736 --> 01:18:28,636
in which the payment
is demanded...

1293
01:18:28,638 --> 01:18:30,638
isn't money.

1294
01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:32,873
It's human happiness.

1295
01:18:32,875 --> 01:18:38,579
And my good fortune,
it can't be paid for
just with my happiness alone.

1296
01:18:38,581 --> 01:18:42,249
No, it also has to be
paid for with the happiness
of other people.

1297
01:18:43,552 --> 01:18:46,187
You see, every day...

1298
01:18:46,189 --> 01:18:48,155
I have to get up...

1299
01:18:48,157 --> 01:18:51,826
and I have to watch
the price being paid
for my benefit...

1300
01:18:51,828 --> 01:18:54,128
all day long.

1301
01:18:56,631 --> 01:18:59,567
        Obviously you're talking
        about your wife.

1302
01:18:59,569 --> 01:19:01,335
Yes.

1303
01:19:01,337 --> 01:19:04,739
But you have to
understand this, Hilde.

1304
01:19:04,741 --> 01:19:06,440
Aline--

1305
01:19:06,442 --> 01:19:08,909
Aline also had
a great talent.

1306
01:19:10,746 --> 01:19:14,081
She had a talent
for building and shaping...

1307
01:19:14,083 --> 01:19:16,183
the souls of young children.

1308
01:19:16,185 --> 01:19:19,320
She would have enabled
her children to grow up...

1309
01:19:19,322 --> 01:19:23,224
with a kind of equanimity
and a kind of grace.

1310
01:19:24,593 --> 01:19:27,094
All that talent
just lies there now...

1311
01:19:27,096 --> 01:19:30,064
like a pile of rubble
after an enormous explosion.

1312
01:19:30,066 --> 01:19:31,766
It's completely useless.

1313
01:19:31,768 --> 01:19:33,300
                Yes, but even
                if that's true--

1314
01:19:33,302 --> 01:19:35,836
Well, it is true.
It is true. I know Aline.

1315
01:19:36,872 --> 01:19:41,542
        But the point is,
        it wasn't your fault.

1316
01:19:41,544 --> 01:19:44,512
                None of it
                was your fault.

1317
01:19:44,514 --> 01:19:45,880
    No?

1318
01:19:45,882 --> 01:19:47,381
But that's the question,
isn't it?

1319
01:19:47,383 --> 01:19:50,050
'Cause I think
it probably<i> was</i> my fault.

1320
01:19:50,052 --> 01:19:51,852
                        What?

1321
01:19:51,854 --> 01:19:53,921
                    The fire?

1322
01:19:53,923 --> 01:19:56,824
Yes, all of it.

1323
01:19:56,826 --> 01:19:59,393
Everything that happened.

1324
01:19:59,395 --> 01:20:01,395
                Master Builder,

1325
01:20:01,397 --> 01:20:03,597
        when you talk like that,

1326
01:20:03,599 --> 01:20:06,967
            you sound as though
            you really are
            mentally sick.

1327
01:20:06,969 --> 01:20:08,502
Well, there--

1328
01:20:08,504 --> 01:20:10,504
Excuse me.

1329
01:20:13,074 --> 01:20:18,612
Oh, well, please come in,
so we can settle this.

1330
01:20:18,614 --> 01:20:20,881
        Yes, that'd be great.

1331
01:20:24,686 --> 01:20:29,323
Things aren't going any better
for your father, I hear.

1332
01:20:29,325 --> 01:20:33,594
        No, he's, uh,
        deteriorating very fast.

1333
01:20:33,596 --> 01:20:35,162
                    Um--

1334
01:20:36,264 --> 01:20:39,166
    That's why I've come here
    to ask you--

1335
01:20:42,604 --> 01:20:45,105
            Please,

1336
01:20:45,107 --> 01:20:48,075
    could you possibly
    write a few words
    on one of my drawings?

1337
01:20:48,077 --> 01:20:51,412
    You know, just anything that
    he could read before he--

1338
01:20:51,414 --> 01:20:55,449
Ragnar, could you please
not talk to me any more
about those drawings?

1339
01:20:57,085 --> 01:20:59,486
        Why? Have--
        Have you looked at them?

1340
01:20:59,488 --> 01:21:01,288
Oh, yes, of course.

1341
01:21:01,290 --> 01:21:02,957
                    So...

1342
01:21:04,292 --> 01:21:08,229
            perhaps you don't
            find them very good.

1343
01:21:08,231 --> 01:21:10,264
                Or perhaps...

1344
01:21:10,266 --> 01:21:12,233
                you don't think
                that<i> I'm</i> very--

1345
01:21:12,235 --> 01:21:15,903
Ragnar,
please just stay here...

1346
01:21:15,905 --> 01:21:19,340
and keep on
working with me.

1347
01:21:19,342 --> 01:21:22,209
You'll have everything
that you could possibly want.

1348
01:21:22,211 --> 01:21:25,145
You can get married to Kaya.

1349
01:21:25,147 --> 01:21:28,115
You'll live
without any anxieties.

1350
01:21:28,117 --> 01:21:30,918
You might even be happy.

1351
01:21:30,920 --> 01:21:32,887
You just have to
stop thinking about...

1352
01:21:32,889 --> 01:21:35,122
becoming a builder yourself.

1353
01:21:41,196 --> 01:21:42,663
                All right.

1354
01:21:44,032 --> 01:21:46,533
Fine.

1355
01:21:46,535 --> 01:21:49,169
                So, uh...

1356
01:21:49,171 --> 01:21:51,972
        that's what I'll go home
        and tell Father.

1357
01:21:53,708 --> 01:21:56,110
            Fine.
            Well... good.

1358
01:21:57,345 --> 01:22:02,416
        'Cause I promised
        to tell him
        exactly what you said.

1359
01:22:02,418 --> 01:22:06,520
        And that's what
        you want me to tell him
        before he dies, right?

1360
01:22:06,522 --> 01:22:09,523
Well, for God's sake,
tell him whatever you like.

1361
01:22:09,525 --> 01:22:12,326
The best thing, really,
would be to tell him nothing.

1362
01:22:13,795 --> 01:22:15,829
        May I take the drawings
        with me then?

1363
01:22:15,831 --> 01:22:18,299
    - Yes, please.
    - No, leave them.

1364
01:22:18,301 --> 01:22:20,968
            Leave them?
            Leave them for what?

1365
01:22:20,970 --> 01:22:23,137
        Because I want to
        take a look at them too.

1366
01:22:23,139 --> 01:22:24,972
But you've already--

1367
01:22:26,808 --> 01:22:29,009
Fine.

1368
01:22:29,011 --> 01:22:31,312
Leave them then.

1369
01:22:31,314 --> 01:22:35,115
Ragnar, you mustn't
ask me for something
that I can't give you.

1370
01:22:35,117 --> 01:22:37,985
                    Of course.
                    Of course.

1371
01:22:39,254 --> 01:22:41,555
Excuse me.

1372
01:22:51,433 --> 01:22:53,901
    That was incredibly cruel.
    I-I-I--

1373
01:22:53,903 --> 01:22:55,869
Oh, do you think so?

1374
01:22:55,871 --> 01:22:58,272
Yes, that's just
what he was thinking.

1375
01:22:58,274 --> 01:23:01,108
    You were brutal with him.
    It was sickening.

1376
01:23:01,110 --> 01:23:04,278
You said
I was the only one...

1377
01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:06,146
who should be allowed
to build.

1378
01:23:06,148 --> 01:23:07,881
                Yes. I said it.

1379
01:23:07,883 --> 01:23:09,683
        <i> You</i> shouldn't say it.

1380
01:23:09,685 --> 01:23:12,086
Hilde,
if I can't have...

1381
01:23:12,088 --> 01:23:15,923
a single moment
of inner peace in my life,

1382
01:23:15,925 --> 01:23:19,727
please at least allow me
to keep my position
in the world.

1383
01:23:19,729 --> 01:23:23,197
            Why can't you have
            a single moment
            of inner peace?

1384
01:23:23,199 --> 01:23:26,200
All right, I will tell you.

1385
01:23:29,371 --> 01:23:31,572
See, Hilde,

1386
01:23:31,574 --> 01:23:36,310
in the old house
where we used to live,

1387
01:23:36,312 --> 01:23:38,545
the one that burned down,

1388
01:23:41,649 --> 01:23:43,384
there was an attic,

1389
01:23:45,286 --> 01:23:48,122
and I used to go up there
very frequently.

1390
01:23:50,158 --> 01:23:53,360
And one day,
when I was in the attic,

1391
01:23:53,362 --> 01:23:56,463
I noticed a crack
in the chimney pipe there.

1392
01:23:58,400 --> 01:24:01,068
And every time
that I would go up
to the attic,

1393
01:24:01,070 --> 01:24:03,971
I would check to see
if the crack was still there.

1394
01:24:03,973 --> 01:24:07,808
            And it always was.
Yes, because nobody but me
knew about it.

1395
01:24:07,810 --> 01:24:11,211
    And you never mentioned it
    to anyone?
No, I didn't.

1396
01:24:11,213 --> 01:24:13,947
        A cracked chimney pipe
        is incredibly dangerous.

1397
01:24:13,949 --> 01:24:16,016
        Didn't it occur to you
        to get it fixed?

1398
01:24:16,018 --> 01:24:17,751
Yes, it occurred to me,

1399
01:24:17,753 --> 01:24:20,888
but every time I was about to
do something about it,
something stopped me,

1400
01:24:20,890 --> 01:24:24,792
as if a hand had suddenly
come out of nowhere
and was holding on to me,

1401
01:24:24,794 --> 01:24:27,961
and I would just say to myself,
"Well, I'll do it tomorrow."

1402
01:24:27,963 --> 01:24:30,064
So the crack
was never mended.

1403
01:24:31,132 --> 01:24:33,100
            You just ignored it?

1404
01:24:34,736 --> 01:24:37,304
                How could you
                do that?

1405
01:24:37,306 --> 01:24:42,409
Because I kept on wondering
about that little crack.

1406
01:24:42,411 --> 01:24:47,281
Could I possibly fly
through that crack...

1407
01:24:47,283 --> 01:24:51,452
and fly up to a great height
as a master builder?

1408
01:24:53,088 --> 01:24:56,523
        That must have been
        a very exciting thought.

1409
01:24:57,425 --> 01:24:59,393
See, I kept thinking of...

1410
01:24:59,395 --> 01:25:01,695
this little--
this little story,

1411
01:25:03,298 --> 01:25:05,132
and it all seemed so natural.

1412
01:25:05,134 --> 01:25:07,701
It seemed so simple
and easy.

1413
01:25:07,703 --> 01:25:11,705
It would all take place,
naturally, in the wintertime,
a little before lunch,

1414
01:25:11,707 --> 01:25:15,909
and Aline and I would be out,
and I'd be driving her
around somewhere.

1415
01:25:17,613 --> 01:25:19,680
And of course
those who stayed behind...

1416
01:25:19,682 --> 01:25:22,349
would have lit big roaring fires
in all of the stoves.

1417
01:25:22,351 --> 01:25:27,020
    Yes, 'cause it would have
    been a terribly cold day.
Yes, bitterly, bitterly cold.

1418
01:25:27,022 --> 01:25:31,959
So it would happen
as we'd be riding toward home,
we'd see smoke rising.

1419
01:25:31,961 --> 01:25:33,627
        You'd just see smoke.

1420
01:25:33,629 --> 01:25:35,863
At first, just smoke.

1421
01:25:35,865 --> 01:25:40,134
But then as we would approach
the garden gate,

1422
01:25:40,136 --> 01:25:44,705
we'd be able to see
the whole house,

1423
01:25:44,707 --> 01:25:47,841
like a big wooden box,

1424
01:25:47,843 --> 01:25:51,044
in a ring of flame--

1425
01:25:51,046 --> 01:25:54,581
a surging, pulsing
ring of flame.

1426
01:25:55,783 --> 01:25:57,484
                    I see.

1427
01:26:00,188 --> 01:26:02,456
            Tell me, are you--

1428
01:26:02,458 --> 01:26:05,492
    are you absolutely certain
    that the fire was caused...

1429
01:26:05,494 --> 01:26:08,162
            by that little crack
            in the chimney pipe?

1430
01:26:08,164 --> 01:26:09,930
Oh, no, no, no.

1431
01:26:09,932 --> 01:26:13,767
No, on the contrary,
the crack in the chimney pipe,
I definitely know...

1432
01:26:13,769 --> 01:26:15,736
had nothing to do with it.

1433
01:26:15,738 --> 01:26:17,437
                    What?

1434
01:26:17,439 --> 01:26:19,873
Oh, no,
it was clearly determined...

1435
01:26:19,875 --> 01:26:24,244
the fire broke out in
a clothes closet in a completely
different part of the house.

1436
01:26:24,246 --> 01:26:27,581
    Well, then why are you
    talking to me about this?

1437
01:26:27,583 --> 01:26:30,050
Oh, well,
I can explain!

1438
01:26:30,052 --> 01:26:34,254
I can explain! Hilde--
Hilde, I can explain this.

1439
01:26:34,256 --> 01:26:36,390
I can explain this.

1440
01:26:36,392 --> 01:26:39,259
You see-- Listen to me.

1441
01:26:40,128 --> 01:26:42,196
I have to ask you
something.

1442
01:26:42,198 --> 01:26:44,298
Would you agree with me,
possibly,

1443
01:26:44,300 --> 01:26:48,502
that there are certain
people in the world,

1444
01:26:48,504 --> 01:26:52,139
certain particular
selected individuals...

1445
01:26:52,141 --> 01:26:54,274
who have received
a certain favor...

1446
01:26:54,276 --> 01:26:56,510
and they've been granted
a certain power...

1447
01:26:56,512 --> 01:26:59,780
so that they
can desire something
so passionately...

1448
01:26:59,782 --> 01:27:03,550
that the thing they wish for
simply has to take place?

1449
01:27:04,185 --> 01:27:07,588
            Well, if there are,

1450
01:27:07,590 --> 01:27:10,657
        we'll learn one day
        whether I'm one of them.

1451
01:27:12,994 --> 01:27:14,661
But see, Hilde,

1452
01:27:14,663 --> 01:27:18,098
an individual can't
accomplish things like that...

1453
01:27:18,100 --> 01:27:20,834
entirely on their own.

1454
01:27:20,836 --> 01:27:25,405
See, there are forces
in the universe...

1455
01:27:25,407 --> 01:27:28,875
that serve people
and that help people.

1456
01:27:30,278 --> 01:27:33,080
And in order for one's
desires to be realized,

1457
01:27:33,082 --> 01:27:35,515
those forces
have to be there.

1458
01:27:35,517 --> 01:27:37,451
They don't just
suddenly appear, Hilde.

1459
01:27:37,453 --> 01:27:39,519
One has to call for them...

1460
01:27:39,521 --> 01:27:43,156
with a sort of intense
inner determination.

1461
01:27:43,158 --> 01:27:46,426
And I did that.
I called for them.

1462
01:27:46,428 --> 01:27:49,796
I called, and they came,
and they did exactly
what I wanted them to do.

1463
01:27:49,798 --> 01:27:53,700
And that's why I say
that it was my fault
that the boys died...

1464
01:27:53,702 --> 01:27:58,405
and that Aline
was never able to be
what she should have been.

1465
01:27:58,407 --> 01:28:01,508
                Master Builder,
                I wonder...

1466
01:28:01,510 --> 01:28:05,512
        if perhaps
        you were simply born...

1467
01:28:05,514 --> 01:28:09,983
        with an oversensitive
        conscience.

1468
01:28:11,119 --> 01:28:12,786
Wh-What does that mean?

1469
01:28:12,788 --> 01:28:17,190
            It means
            that your conscience
            is very delicate,

1470
01:28:17,192 --> 01:28:19,426
        and it's much too weak,

1471
01:28:19,428 --> 01:28:22,229
    and it is too easily crushed
    by heavy things.

1472
01:28:22,231 --> 01:28:25,732
I see.
And what sort of a conscience
should I have then?

1473
01:28:25,734 --> 01:28:29,036
    I would like you to have
    a more robust conscience...

1474
01:28:29,038 --> 01:28:33,440
which can lift up those things
and bear their weight.

1475
01:28:39,647 --> 01:28:44,518
You know, in all those old books
of the Norse sagas--

1476
01:28:44,520 --> 01:28:47,888
    Have you done any reading
    in those old books, Hilde?

1477
01:28:47,890 --> 01:28:50,290
            Oh, yes, certainly.

1478
01:28:50,292 --> 01:28:53,393
    Well, they always
    talk about the Vikings.

1479
01:28:53,395 --> 01:28:59,733
    They always describe
    how the Vikings went
    to foreign countries and...

1480
01:28:59,735 --> 01:29:02,235
    they set fire
    to the countryside...

1481
01:29:02,237 --> 01:29:06,540
    and they robbed,
    and they stole,
    and they beat men to death.

1482
01:29:06,542 --> 01:29:09,076
        They seized the women.
They just took them
away.

1483
01:29:09,078 --> 01:29:11,778
                Carried them off
                in their ships.

1484
01:29:12,580 --> 01:29:14,381
Well, those Vikings...

1485
01:29:14,383 --> 01:29:17,551
really had those consciences
that were s--

1486
01:29:17,553 --> 01:29:20,687
that were strong and robust.

1487
01:29:22,990 --> 01:29:26,460
You know, and in so many
of those stories,

1488
01:29:26,462 --> 01:29:28,662
some of those women
whom they carried off,

1489
01:29:28,664 --> 01:29:33,667
they became so attached
to the men that they refused
to be parted from them.

1490
01:29:33,669 --> 01:29:36,670
Does that make any sort
of sense to you, Hilde?

1491
01:29:36,672 --> 01:29:40,107
        It makes complete
        sense to me.

1492
01:29:40,109 --> 01:29:44,711
So you could make
that same sort of a choice
yourself then?

1493
01:29:45,346 --> 01:29:47,581
                Why wouldn't I?

1494
01:29:47,583 --> 01:29:52,886
You could make the choice
to move in and live...

1495
01:29:52,888 --> 01:29:56,490
with someone
who had violated you?

1496
01:29:56,492 --> 01:29:59,760
        If I'd come to love him,
        yes.

1497
01:29:59,762 --> 01:30:01,461
Oh, Hilde.

1498
01:30:01,463 --> 01:30:04,865
You are like a wild bird
of the forest, Hilde.

1499
01:30:06,402 --> 01:30:08,802
                No, I'm not,

1500
01:30:08,804 --> 01:30:12,172
    because I don't fly off
    and hide in the shrubbery.

1501
01:30:12,174 --> 01:30:14,341
Yes.

1502
01:30:14,343 --> 01:30:17,878
Maybe you're more like
a bird of prey.

1503
01:30:19,581 --> 01:30:23,350
    Perhaps I am something
    more like that sort of bird.

1504
01:30:23,352 --> 01:30:25,685
            Why shouldn't I be?

1505
01:30:25,687 --> 01:30:29,856
        Why shouldn't I go off
        in search of my prey?

1506
01:30:29,858 --> 01:30:34,561
Why shouldn't I seize the prize
I want so desperately?

1507
01:30:34,563 --> 01:30:38,165
Do you know what I feel
that you really are?

1508
01:30:38,167 --> 01:30:41,935
    A very strange bird,
    I'm sure you're gonna say.

1509
01:30:41,937 --> 01:30:45,338
You are like a day
which is dawning, Hilde.

1510
01:30:45,340 --> 01:30:50,177
When I look at you,
it's as if I were looking
at the sun rising.

1511
01:30:52,147 --> 01:30:54,181
            Yes.

1512
01:30:55,683 --> 01:30:57,984
        Here.
What are you doing?

1513
01:30:57,986 --> 01:30:59,586
            Take them.

1514
01:30:59,588 --> 01:31:02,622
Why, I've been looking
at these drawings all day.

1515
01:31:02,624 --> 01:31:05,292
        Yes, I know.
        Now you're going to
        write on them for him.

1516
01:31:05,294 --> 01:31:07,661
Oh, Hilde,
not in a million years.

1517
01:31:08,963 --> 01:31:12,098
        Not when that old man
        is lying on his bed,

1518
01:31:12,100 --> 01:31:14,768
        face to face with death?

1519
01:31:14,770 --> 01:31:18,972
I mean, my God, can't you offer
just a moment of happiness...

1520
01:31:18,974 --> 01:31:20,974
            between the old man
            and his son...

1521
01:31:20,976 --> 01:31:23,176
            before they're
            separated for good?

1522
01:31:24,178 --> 01:31:26,913
    Even if you don't
    really like the drawings,

1523
01:31:26,915 --> 01:31:30,183
        surely
        you just bring yourself
        to lie a little.

1524
01:31:30,185 --> 01:31:32,152
Now you're asking me
to lie?

1525
01:31:32,154 --> 01:31:36,923
And if you do,
write some really nice things
on the young man's drawings...

1526
01:31:36,925 --> 01:31:40,427
    that might actually help him
    to get the job
    of building the house.

1527
01:31:40,429 --> 01:31:42,796
It might help him
to get the job?

1528
01:31:42,798 --> 01:31:45,198
Hilde,
don't you understand this?

1529
01:31:45,200 --> 01:31:48,969
That's the only reason
he wants me to write
on the drawings--

1530
01:31:48,971 --> 01:31:50,504
    to get the job.

1531
01:31:50,506 --> 01:31:52,472
To get the job.
                    Right.

1532
01:31:52,474 --> 01:31:54,107
                That's enough.

1533
01:31:54,109 --> 01:31:56,376
                    Stop it.

1534
01:31:56,378 --> 01:31:58,011
                Stop it.

1535
01:31:59,447 --> 01:32:02,949
Maybe for his old father's sake
I could do something like that,

1536
01:32:02,951 --> 01:32:07,521
because at one point
in the past, Hilde,
when I was rising up,

1537
01:32:07,523 --> 01:32:10,323
I pulled that old man down,
I destroyed him.

1538
01:32:10,325 --> 01:32:12,893
                    Really?
                    Him too?

1539
01:32:15,963 --> 01:32:18,899
And now Ragnar
wants to rise up.

1540
01:32:18,901 --> 01:32:22,002
        Yes,
        but if the poor fellow
        has no talent--

1541
01:32:22,004 --> 01:32:25,171
If Ragnar rises up,

1542
01:32:25,173 --> 01:32:27,474
I'm going to go down.

1543
01:32:27,476 --> 01:32:30,143
Oh, yes, oh, yes.

1544
01:32:30,145 --> 01:32:34,014
He'll destroy me,
just the way
I destroyed his father.

1545
01:32:35,082 --> 01:32:36,750
                    Oh.

1546
01:32:36,752 --> 01:32:39,052
            You mean he actually
            does have talent?

1547
01:32:39,054 --> 01:32:42,055
Oh, yes.
Oh, there's no question
about that.

1548
01:32:42,057 --> 01:32:45,458
Enormous talent.
Enormous talent.

1549
01:32:45,460 --> 01:32:47,427
And I'm afraid...

1550
01:32:47,429 --> 01:32:52,065
that the forces in the universe
that serve people and help them,

1551
01:32:52,067 --> 01:32:55,702
they are not going to be
obeying my wishes anymore.

1552
01:32:56,637 --> 01:32:59,739
        Then you'll have to
        set off on your own.

1553
01:33:00,675 --> 01:33:03,043
        That's all you can do.

1554
01:33:03,045 --> 01:33:05,545
    Without help?

1555
01:33:05,547 --> 01:33:07,647
It's hopeless, Hilde.

1556
01:33:09,216 --> 01:33:12,118
    What are you trying to do?

1557
01:33:12,120 --> 01:33:15,422
    Are you trying to
    take my life away from me,

1558
01:33:15,424 --> 01:33:19,092
        the thing
        that means more to me
        than life itself?

1559
01:33:19,094 --> 01:33:22,896
        To see you with
        a wreath in your hand,

1560
01:33:22,898 --> 01:33:27,767
        standing high, high up
        on an enormous tower.

1561
01:33:27,769 --> 01:33:29,803
        Mmm.
                    So, write.

1562
01:33:29,805 --> 01:33:32,606
Write...

1563
01:33:32,608 --> 01:33:37,043
        some really nice things
        for this...

1564
01:33:37,045 --> 01:33:39,613
                awful Ragnar.

1565
01:33:59,066 --> 01:34:02,268
    So, now you have to
    tell me something, Hilde.

1566
01:34:04,405 --> 01:34:07,040
            Have you ever loved
            anyone?

1567
01:34:08,809 --> 01:34:12,078
Anyone else, you mean?

1568
01:34:18,219 --> 01:34:20,220
                    Anyone else?

1569
01:34:25,126 --> 01:34:27,961
Of course I've liked
other men slightly,

1570
01:34:28,696 --> 01:34:30,497
for a little while anyway,

1571
01:34:30,499 --> 01:34:34,601
particularly
when I was angry with you
for not coming to find me.

1572
01:34:34,603 --> 01:34:36,803
Mmm.

1573
01:34:36,805 --> 01:34:39,239
I'm sure you understand.

1574
01:34:41,076 --> 01:34:44,277
    I've brought
    these little things back
    for you myself, Miss Wangel.

1575
01:34:44,279 --> 01:34:47,914
And, uh, the larger things
will be delivered
a little bit later.

1576
01:34:47,916 --> 01:34:49,816
    That's so nice of you.

1577
01:34:49,818 --> 01:34:51,551
It's the least I could do.

1578
01:34:51,553 --> 01:34:54,287
                    Aline?

1579
01:34:54,289 --> 01:34:58,692
    Did you happen to notice
    if the bookkeeper
    was out there?

1580
01:34:58,694 --> 01:35:00,527
            Of course
            she was out there.

1581
01:35:00,529 --> 01:35:03,196
            She was bent over
            her documents,

1582
01:35:03,198 --> 01:35:06,266
    her usual pose
    when I'm in the vicinity.

1583
01:35:06,268 --> 01:35:09,969
- I'm going to bring her this.
- No. Let me have
  the pleasure of doing that.

1584
01:35:11,505 --> 01:35:15,041
What was her name again?
                Her name
                is Miss Fosli.

1585
01:35:16,043 --> 01:35:18,311
That's awfully cold.
I mean her first name.

1586
01:35:20,715 --> 01:35:23,983
        It's, uh... Kaya.

1587
01:35:24,552 --> 01:35:26,686
Kaya!

1588
01:35:26,688 --> 01:35:30,857
Please come in here right away.
The master builder
wants to speak with you.

1589
01:35:45,639 --> 01:35:47,607
            Yes?

1590
01:35:47,609 --> 01:35:51,211
Kaya, you can take these now.
The master builder has written
various things on them.

1591
01:35:52,646 --> 01:35:55,548
So...
bring these to old Brovik...

1592
01:35:55,550 --> 01:35:59,152
as quickly as you can.

1593
01:36:02,289 --> 01:36:04,124
            Yes, I will.

1594
01:36:04,126 --> 01:36:08,828
So Ragnar will have his chance
to build something.

1595
01:36:09,597 --> 01:36:11,498
        Would it be
        all right then...

1596
01:36:11,500 --> 01:36:14,567
    for him to come over and--
    and to thank you right away?

1597
01:36:14,569 --> 01:36:17,904
    Oh, no, no. I'm sorry.

1598
01:36:17,906 --> 01:36:21,074
    I-I don't want any thanks.

1599
01:36:21,876 --> 01:36:23,443
Why don't you just...

1600
01:36:23,445 --> 01:36:27,113
send him my greetings
and tell him that specifically?

1601
01:36:29,216 --> 01:36:32,118
                Yes, all right.

1602
01:36:32,120 --> 01:36:35,155
    And you can also tell him...

1603
01:36:35,157 --> 01:36:38,458
        that I won't be
        needing him here
        from now on.

1604
01:36:39,593 --> 01:36:41,261
And, um,

1605
01:36:41,263 --> 01:36:43,997
    I won't be
    needing you either.

1606
01:36:49,570 --> 01:36:51,171
            Won't be needing me?

1607
01:36:51,173 --> 01:36:56,576
Well, you are gonna have
a great many concerns
of your own...

1608
01:36:56,578 --> 01:36:58,978
to be thinking about now.

1609
01:36:58,980 --> 01:37:01,881
Thinking about
and taking care of.

1610
01:37:03,150 --> 01:37:05,285
                    Aww--

1611
01:37:05,287 --> 01:37:09,856
I think y-you should go home
as quickly as possible...

1612
01:37:09,858 --> 01:37:11,591
with the drawings.

1613
01:37:15,396 --> 01:37:17,263
The sooner the better.

1614
01:37:19,166 --> 01:37:21,534
        Don't you think
        you should go?

1615
01:37:27,141 --> 01:37:28,675
                    Yes.

1616
01:37:28,677 --> 01:37:30,343
                All right.

1617
01:37:33,814 --> 01:37:35,448
                Mrs. Solness.

1618
01:37:56,804 --> 01:37:59,606
            Are you really
            gonna let them go?

1619
01:37:59,608 --> 01:38:01,608
        Oh, yes.

1620
01:38:03,110 --> 01:38:06,546
But I don't want you
to be thinking about
any of that now.

1621
01:38:09,084 --> 01:38:12,619
I just want you to be
thinking about the fact...

1622
01:38:12,621 --> 01:38:16,256
that we're going to be
moving into our new house.

1623
01:38:18,025 --> 01:38:22,962
And I want to make that move
as soon as possible.

1624
01:38:23,964 --> 01:38:28,201
We are going to
raise the wreath today!

1625
01:38:28,836 --> 01:38:30,870
We'll raise it up...

1626
01:38:30,872 --> 01:38:32,939
        to the top of the tower!

1627
01:38:32,941 --> 01:38:34,841
        What do you think
        about that, Miss Hilde?

1628
01:38:34,843 --> 01:38:37,844
It'll be unbelievably beautiful
to see you high up
in the sky again.

1629
01:38:37,846 --> 01:38:39,479
    Me?
                        No, no.

1630
01:38:39,481 --> 01:38:42,582
My God in heaven, Miss Wangel,
don't even think such thoughts.

1631
01:38:42,584 --> 01:38:46,252
    My husband, he suffers from
    the most terrible dizziness.

1632
01:38:46,254 --> 01:38:48,788
Your husband
suffers from dizziness?
                        Mm-hmm.

1633
01:38:48,790 --> 01:38:52,225
        - No, he doesn't.
        - He does. He does.

1634
01:38:52,227 --> 01:38:55,962
But I saw him myself on top of
an incredibly tall church tower.

1635
01:38:55,964 --> 01:38:58,131
            I've heard people
            telling that story,

1636
01:38:58,133 --> 01:39:00,466
            and it's absolutely
            impossible.

1637
01:39:00,468 --> 01:39:03,002
    Oh, yes,
    it's absolutely impossible.

1638
01:39:03,004 --> 01:39:06,005
                And yet, well...

1639
01:39:06,007 --> 01:39:08,007
                I actually was
                up there.

1640
01:39:08,009 --> 01:39:11,511
Halvard, how can you
        say such things?

1641
01:39:11,513 --> 01:39:15,048
        You can't even go
        out on our balcony here,
        one flight up.

1642
01:39:15,050 --> 01:39:17,116
            And that's the way
            you've always been.

1643
01:39:17,118 --> 01:39:20,887
        Well, you might perhaps
        have the opportunity...

1644
01:39:20,889 --> 01:39:23,523
                to see
                a different side
                of me today.

1645
01:39:23,525 --> 01:39:24,991
        No, no, no, no.

1646
01:39:24,993 --> 01:39:26,926
        God save me from that.

1647
01:39:26,928 --> 01:39:28,828
            That's something
            that I won't see.

1648
01:39:28,830 --> 01:39:32,065
Because I'm gonna write a note
to the doctor right this minute,

1649
01:39:32,067 --> 01:39:34,634
    and he will definitely
    persuade you not to do it.

1650
01:39:34,636 --> 01:39:36,235
    Oh, Aline.
                    No, no, no.

1651
01:39:36,237 --> 01:39:38,538
        Because
        the way you are talking,
        you really<i> are</i> sick.

1652
01:39:38,540 --> 01:39:40,239
            You are, Halvard.

1653
01:39:40,241 --> 01:39:42,742
                It's the only
                explanation.
                You're sick.

1654
01:39:47,848 --> 01:39:49,215
So...

1655
01:39:52,519 --> 01:39:54,487
is that true?

1656
01:39:54,489 --> 01:39:56,389
                        What?

1657
01:39:56,391 --> 01:39:59,692
            That I don't like
            high places?

1658
01:39:59,694 --> 01:40:01,494
            That I get dizzy?

1659
01:40:02,796 --> 01:40:04,464
                    Yes.

1660
01:40:40,667 --> 01:40:44,370
        Have you been taking
        a walk in the garden,
        Miss Wangel?

1661
01:40:45,973 --> 01:40:47,940
    Mm-hmm.

1662
01:40:47,942 --> 01:40:50,476
I was looking around a bit.

1663
01:40:50,478 --> 01:40:53,746
                I see you found
                some flowers.

1664
01:40:53,748 --> 01:40:55,515
Oh, uh, yes, definitely.

1665
01:40:55,517 --> 01:40:59,719
There's lots of them down there,
growing up between the bushes.

1666
01:40:59,721 --> 01:41:01,788
        Really? They're still
        growing down there?

1667
01:41:01,790 --> 01:41:05,992
        Well, you see,
        I almost never
        go down there anymore.

1668
01:41:05,994 --> 01:41:07,660
No? Really?

1669
01:41:07,662 --> 01:41:10,696
Don't you at least
run down there once each day?

1670
01:41:10,698 --> 01:41:14,667
I must say,
        running isn't something
        I really do now.

1671
01:41:16,403 --> 01:41:20,606
Don't you go down there
once in a while just to say
hello to all the lovely things?

1672
01:41:20,608 --> 01:41:22,608
                        No.

1673
01:41:22,610 --> 01:41:25,878
        It's all
        become alien territory,
        as far as I'm concerned.

1674
01:41:25,880 --> 01:41:29,682
        I'd almost feel
        uncomfortable
        about seeing it again.

1675
01:41:31,351 --> 01:41:34,554
Your own garden?
            It's not mine now.

1676
01:41:35,289 --> 01:41:37,290
            It's not
            the way it was...

1677
01:41:37,292 --> 01:41:39,225
            in my mother's
            and father's time.

1678
01:41:39,227 --> 01:41:42,728
        They've gotten rid of
        so much of the garden,
        it's pitiable, really.

1679
01:41:42,730 --> 01:41:44,964
    Imagine what they've done.

1680
01:41:44,966 --> 01:41:46,799
            They've parceled it
            all out,

1681
01:41:46,801 --> 01:41:50,336
        and they've built houses
        for-- for strangers,

1682
01:41:50,338 --> 01:41:53,106
        houses for people
        that I don't even know,

1683
01:41:53,108 --> 01:41:55,308
            and these strangers,
            you see,

1684
01:41:55,310 --> 01:41:58,411
        can sit in their windows
        and stare at me.

1685
01:41:58,413 --> 01:42:01,247
        I mean,
        isn't that something?

1686
01:42:08,922 --> 01:42:11,591
Mrs. Solness?

1687
01:42:11,593 --> 01:42:15,194
Would it be all right
if I sat with you here
for a short while?

1688
01:42:17,564 --> 01:42:21,434
    It would be very nice
    if you feel you'd like to.

1689
01:42:35,549 --> 01:42:37,350
Ah.

1690
01:42:38,986 --> 01:42:42,421
A perfect spot to just sit
and sun yourself like a cat.

1691
01:42:44,558 --> 01:42:47,593
        It's so kind of you
        to want to sit with me.

1692
01:42:47,595 --> 01:42:50,663
    I thought you'd be going in
    to be with my husband now.

1693
01:42:50,665 --> 01:42:53,166
What would you think
I'd be doing with him?

1694
01:42:53,168 --> 01:42:56,235
        Helping him, I suppose.
No. Please.

1695
01:42:57,070 --> 01:42:58,671
Anyway,
he isn't in there.

1696
01:42:58,673 --> 01:43:01,007
He's gone over to see
the men who are working
on the new house.

1697
01:43:01,009 --> 01:43:02,708
                    Oh.

1698
01:43:02,710 --> 01:43:05,912
The expression he had
on his face, he looked
so fierce and dangerous,

1699
01:43:05,914 --> 01:43:08,915
I really didn't have
the courage to speak to him.

1700
01:43:08,917 --> 01:43:10,783
Is that so?

1701
01:43:10,785 --> 01:43:13,452
        But did you know that
        my husband really has...

1702
01:43:13,454 --> 01:43:16,756
    the most gentle disposition
    in the world?

1703
01:43:17,858 --> 01:43:19,759
        He does?
                        Mm-hmm.

1704
01:43:19,761 --> 01:43:22,895
    You see, you don't know him
    properly yet, Miss Wangel.

1705
01:43:35,909 --> 01:43:39,812
So are you happy
to be moving over
into the new house?

1706
01:43:39,814 --> 01:43:44,584
    I ought to be
    because he so much wants me
    to be happy about it.

1707
01:43:44,586 --> 01:43:47,019
I'm sure that's not
the only reason
to be happy, is it?

1708
01:43:47,021 --> 01:43:48,854
            Oh, yes, it is, yes.

1709
01:43:48,856 --> 01:43:53,793
    That's my simple obligation
    in life, Miss Wangel--
    to do what he wants.

1710
01:43:53,795 --> 01:43:55,761
            Simply to yield.

1711
01:43:55,763 --> 01:43:58,564
    But there are many occasions
    when it's terribly hard...

1712
01:43:58,566 --> 01:44:02,335
    to beat one's spirit into
    the necessary submission.

1713
01:44:02,337 --> 01:44:05,338
Um, yes,
uh, that must be hard.

1714
01:44:05,340 --> 01:44:09,041
    Yes, it is hard,
    if one isn't a better person
    than I am, at any rate.

1715
01:44:09,043 --> 01:44:11,877
Mrs. Solness,

1716
01:44:11,879 --> 01:44:16,649
I mean, when someone has
been through really hard times
the way that you have--

1717
01:44:16,651 --> 01:44:19,485
    How do you know I've been
    through hard times?

1718
01:44:19,487 --> 01:44:21,587
Your husband
said that you had.

1719
01:44:21,589 --> 01:44:23,022
                        Oh.

1720
01:44:23,024 --> 01:44:26,993
    He says so little
    about those things to me.
    But yes, it's true.

1721
01:44:26,995 --> 01:44:30,963
    I've been through
    quite a bit in the course
    of my life, yes, I have.

1722
01:44:32,232 --> 01:44:35,801
Dear Mrs. Solness,
first everything burned up
in the fire.

1723
01:44:35,803 --> 01:44:37,837
        Yes, everything I had.

1724
01:44:37,839 --> 01:44:39,605
And then...

1725
01:44:40,374 --> 01:44:42,108
so much worse.

1726
01:44:42,110 --> 01:44:43,743
Worse?

1727
01:44:45,646 --> 01:44:48,180
What happened
which was worse.

1728
01:44:48,182 --> 01:44:50,182
            What do you mean?

1729
01:44:50,184 --> 01:44:52,385
I meant...

1730
01:44:52,387 --> 01:44:54,353
losing the boys.

1731
01:44:54,355 --> 01:44:57,323
                    Oh. That.

1732
01:44:57,791 --> 01:44:59,458
                    Well...

1733
01:45:00,727 --> 01:45:04,830
            that was sort of a--
            a decision
            by a higher power,

1734
01:45:04,832 --> 01:45:08,067
        and one has to
        submit oneself to
        something like that...

1735
01:45:08,069 --> 01:45:10,703
            and-- and even
            give thanks for it.

1736
01:45:11,638 --> 01:45:14,140
Do you do that?
        Not always, I'm afraid.

1737
01:45:14,142 --> 01:45:17,410
    But I know
    that that's my obligation.

1738
01:45:17,412 --> 01:45:19,679
    That's what I ought to do.

1739
01:45:19,681 --> 01:45:23,149
            But, um, sometimes
            I just can't.

1740
01:45:23,151 --> 01:45:25,017
I think that's so
understandable.

1741
01:45:25,019 --> 01:45:29,855
    Again,
    I have to say to myself,
    it was a just punishment.

1742
01:45:30,524 --> 01:45:32,658
I don't understand.

1743
01:45:32,660 --> 01:45:37,296
    Quite honestly, Miss Wangel,
    please, please stop talking
    about the two little boys.

1744
01:45:37,298 --> 01:45:40,199
        We should only
        be happy for them now...

1745
01:45:40,201 --> 01:45:43,002
        because things
        are so good for them.

1746
01:45:43,004 --> 01:45:44,870
                Very, very good.

1747
01:45:44,872 --> 01:45:47,273
                    And, um...

1748
01:45:47,275 --> 01:45:51,844
i-it's the little things in life
that really break your heart,

1749
01:45:51,846 --> 01:45:54,980
        when-- when you--
        when you lose
        certain little things...

1750
01:45:54,982 --> 01:46:00,019
        that-- that most people
        might consider
        almost worthless.

1751
01:46:01,388 --> 01:46:03,956
Dear, sweet Mrs. Solness,

1752
01:46:03,958 --> 01:46:05,925
will you tell me, please--

1753
01:46:05,927 --> 01:46:08,828
            Just-- I don't know.

1754
01:46:08,830 --> 01:46:10,930
            Unimportant things.

1755
01:46:13,233 --> 01:46:18,537
    All the, um-- the portraits
    that were on the walls, uh,

1756
01:46:19,206 --> 01:46:22,141
        they all burned and...

1757
01:46:23,076 --> 01:46:25,478
                all of the...

1758
01:46:25,480 --> 01:46:27,213
                silk dresses--

1759
01:46:27,215 --> 01:46:30,750
    You know, the ones
    that had been in the family
    for such a long, long time.

1760
01:46:30,752 --> 01:46:33,252
            Well...
            they just burned.

1761
01:46:33,254 --> 01:46:38,190
    And all the lacework that
    had been done by the mothers
    and the grandmothers,

1762
01:46:38,192 --> 01:46:40,559
            all of it just...
            burned.

1763
01:46:40,561 --> 01:46:42,995
And can-- Oh!

1764
01:46:42,997 --> 01:46:46,432
Can you imagine the jewelry?

1765
01:46:47,934 --> 01:46:49,602
    Oh.
                    And, uh--

1766
01:46:52,105 --> 01:46:54,807
        And all the dolls.

1767
01:46:55,742 --> 01:46:57,476
    The dolls?

1768
01:46:59,079 --> 01:47:02,882
    I had nine beautiful dolls.

1769
01:47:03,850 --> 01:47:07,520
And they burned?
        Yes, every one of them.

1770
01:47:07,522 --> 01:47:10,156
            And that was painful
            for me.

1771
01:47:10,158 --> 01:47:12,892
        That was very painful.

1772
01:47:13,727 --> 01:47:15,528
        So--

1773
01:47:15,530 --> 01:47:19,165
So you'd always kept the dolls
you had as a young girl?

1774
01:47:19,167 --> 01:47:21,534
                No, I didn't
                just keep them.

1775
01:47:21,536 --> 01:47:24,570
        I would take them out
        and I would hold them...

1776
01:47:24,572 --> 01:47:27,807
            and play with them
            and look at them.

1777
01:47:27,809 --> 01:47:30,810
Even after
you were grown up?
                Oh, long after.

1778
01:47:30,812 --> 01:47:33,946
Even after you were married?
                    Oh, yes.

1779
01:47:36,551 --> 01:47:39,452
        I played with them
        when he couldn't see me.

1780
01:47:41,022 --> 01:47:43,022
        But then, they burnt.

1781
01:47:44,357 --> 01:47:46,759
            Poor little things
            just burnt.

1782
01:47:46,761 --> 01:47:50,830
    And no one made an attempt
    to save them.

1783
01:47:53,800 --> 01:47:55,301
                    God, it's--

1784
01:47:55,303 --> 01:47:57,803
        it's awful
        imagining them burning.

1785
01:48:04,077 --> 01:48:05,978
            Don't laugh at me.

1786
01:48:05,980 --> 01:48:07,646
No, I'm not.

1787
01:48:07,648 --> 01:48:12,485
    Because, you see, in a way,
    they were alive.

1788
01:48:12,487 --> 01:48:14,720
        I carried them around
        in my arms...

1789
01:48:14,722 --> 01:48:16,722
            like small children
            not--

1790
01:48:16,724 --> 01:48:19,692
                just not quite
                born yet.

1791
01:48:33,740 --> 01:48:36,141
Well-- Ah!

1792
01:48:36,143 --> 01:48:38,344
        So, Mrs. Solness--

1793
01:48:38,346 --> 01:48:43,215
So you're sitting in this
drafty room and letting yourself
catch a cold. Is that it?

1794
01:48:43,217 --> 01:48:46,585
        No.
        It's nice and warm here.

1795
01:48:46,587 --> 01:48:48,187
Mm-hmm.
Well, I suppose.

1796
01:48:48,189 --> 01:48:51,257
But you sent me a note.
Is there some sort
of problem or--

1797
01:48:56,363 --> 01:48:58,531
I have to talk to you
about something.

1798
01:48:58,533 --> 01:49:00,032
    All right.

1799
01:49:00,034 --> 01:49:03,602
        I see you've put on
        your mountain climbing
        uniform today.

1800
01:49:03,604 --> 01:49:05,404
Absolutely.

1801
01:49:05,406 --> 01:49:08,507
    Of course
    I won't be climbing today.
    I won't be breaking my neck.

1802
01:49:08,509 --> 01:49:12,845
Uh, you and I, we're going to
stay down here on level ground
and watch. Aren't we, Doctor?

1803
01:49:12,847 --> 01:49:15,481
    And what are we going to
    be watching, I wonder?

1804
01:49:15,483 --> 01:49:18,017
For Christ's sake,
stop talking about that.

1805
01:49:21,321 --> 01:49:26,125
Please, please just try and
get that idea out of his head.

1806
01:49:27,294 --> 01:49:30,496
I think that we should be
friends, Miss Wangel.

1807
01:49:30,498 --> 01:49:32,665
Don't you think
that we could be friends?

1808
01:49:32,667 --> 01:49:35,234
                If we could be,
                that would be
                so wonderful.

1809
01:49:47,347 --> 01:49:49,048
Have you ever noticed...

1810
01:49:49,050 --> 01:49:53,485
    that the minute
    I show up somewhere,
    my wife leaves?

1811
01:49:53,487 --> 01:49:56,488
        Actually, I've noticed
        that the minute
        you show up somewhere,

1812
01:49:56,490 --> 01:49:58,257
            you drive her out.

1813
01:49:58,259 --> 01:50:01,327
        Oh. Maybe.

1814
01:50:01,329 --> 01:50:05,464
But that's completely
out of my control, I'm afraid.

1815
01:50:05,466 --> 01:50:07,399
                    Tell me,

1816
01:50:07,401 --> 01:50:09,501
        why did you come up here
        just now?

1817
01:50:09,503 --> 01:50:11,570
To see you.

1818
01:50:11,572 --> 01:50:16,342
    Surely you can see
    that I was here with her.
Well, I knew she'd leave.

1819
01:50:16,344 --> 01:50:20,746
    Doesn't it upset you
    that she'd run away from you
    like that?

1820
01:50:20,748 --> 01:50:23,882
Sometimes
it makes life easier.

1821
01:50:25,251 --> 01:50:28,053
        It's easier for you
        when she isn't there.

1822
01:50:28,055 --> 01:50:30,055
        Mmm.

1823
01:50:30,057 --> 01:50:33,525
            So you don't have to
            see her suffering.

1824
01:50:33,527 --> 01:50:35,060
    Right.

1825
01:50:47,941 --> 01:50:51,110
Did you talk with her
for a long time?

1826
01:50:53,980 --> 01:50:57,116
Was it a long conversation?

1827
01:50:58,218 --> 01:51:00,419
Hilde?

1828
01:51:00,421 --> 01:51:02,388
What did she
talk about?

1829
01:51:04,257 --> 01:51:06,025
Poor Aline.

1830
01:51:06,027 --> 01:51:09,128
I'm sure she mentioned
the boys, obviously.

1831
01:51:10,597 --> 01:51:13,065
She'll never get over it.
She'll never--

1832
01:51:13,067 --> 01:51:14,500
            I want to leave.

1833
01:51:14,502 --> 01:51:16,702
        Leave?
                    Yes.

1834
01:51:16,704 --> 01:51:19,805
- Well, you can't!
- What am I supposed to do here?

1835
01:51:19,807 --> 01:51:22,374
    Hilde, just--
    just be here.

1836
01:51:22,376 --> 01:51:25,444
    For God's sake, you know
    it wouldn't stay like that.

1837
01:51:25,446 --> 01:51:27,446
            Well?

1838
01:51:27,448 --> 01:51:30,582
        I can't do
        something that wrong
        against someone I know.

1839
01:51:30,584 --> 01:51:33,852
        Maybe if she were
        someone I'd never met,
        it would be different,

1840
01:51:33,854 --> 01:51:35,921
            but someone
            I've come close to.

1841
01:51:35,923 --> 01:51:37,923
        No, I-- I can't.
        I'm sorry. I'm leaving.

1842
01:51:37,925 --> 01:51:41,193
And what will
become of me then?

1843
01:51:41,195 --> 01:51:44,263
What would I have to live for
after you leave?

1844
01:51:44,265 --> 01:51:46,832
            You don't have to
            worry about that...

1845
01:51:46,834 --> 01:51:49,435
    because you have something.

1846
01:51:49,437 --> 01:51:53,806
        You have the debt
        you have to pay--
        your obligation to her.

1847
01:51:53,808 --> 01:51:55,407
            Live for that.

1848
01:51:55,409 --> 01:51:56,742
        No.

1849
01:51:56,744 --> 01:51:58,477
No, it's too late...

1850
01:51:58,479 --> 01:52:00,813
because Aline is dead.

1851
01:52:00,815 --> 01:52:04,116
Because of me,
she is dead.

1852
01:52:04,118 --> 01:52:07,720
All of the blood has been
drained out of her body,

1853
01:52:07,722 --> 01:52:10,122
and now
I'm living my life...

1854
01:52:10,124 --> 01:52:12,925
chained to someone
who is actually dead.

1855
01:52:12,927 --> 01:52:17,496
But<i> I</i> am still capable
of experiencing joy.

1856
01:52:17,498 --> 01:52:20,499
Help me! Help me.

1857
01:52:20,501 --> 01:52:22,434
I'm still alive.

1858
01:52:38,017 --> 01:52:40,586
    - What?
    - I just think
      it is ridiculous...

1859
01:52:40,588 --> 01:52:42,421
        not to have the courage
        to just--

1860
01:52:42,423 --> 01:52:45,791
    just reach out
    and just take happiness--
    just take it--

1861
01:52:45,793 --> 01:52:47,392
        and life-- life itself--

1862
01:52:47,394 --> 01:52:50,095
    just 'cause
    there's someone in the way
    whom you happen to know.

1863
01:52:50,097 --> 01:52:53,298
Someone you don't have
the right to leave.
        Maybe that's not true.

1864
01:52:53,300 --> 01:52:58,570
        Maybe the truth is,
        you really always do
        have the right.

1865
01:52:58,572 --> 01:53:01,140
            But then it would--

1866
01:53:01,142 --> 01:53:02,908
            It would--

1867
01:53:02,910 --> 01:53:05,444
God.

1868
01:53:09,182 --> 01:53:10,816
Oh--

1869
01:53:12,285 --> 01:53:15,554
Oh, God.
            If we could
            just fall asleep--

1870
01:53:15,556 --> 01:53:19,825
If we could just fall asleep,
this whole thing--

1871
01:53:20,794 --> 01:53:22,995
        this whole thing could--

1872
01:53:32,338 --> 01:53:34,973
    I know what you're going to
    build next, Master Builder.

1873
01:53:34,975 --> 01:53:37,876
Really?
What?

1874
01:53:39,813 --> 01:53:42,815
    It's going to be a palace.

1875
01:53:42,817 --> 01:53:46,285
Tell me how you've
imagined it, Hilde.

1876
01:53:46,287 --> 01:53:50,355
        My palace will stand
        very, very high
        up on a hill,

1877
01:53:50,357 --> 01:53:52,457
        with nothing around it
        on any side,

1878
01:53:52,459 --> 01:53:57,296
so that I can see far, far off,
way out over the land.

1879
01:53:58,865 --> 01:54:01,733
And I'm sure there will be
a high tower on it.

1880
01:54:01,735 --> 01:54:04,036
        Yes. Oh, yes.

1881
01:54:04,038 --> 01:54:07,206
    The tower, you see,
    will be frightfully high up.

1882
01:54:07,208 --> 01:54:09,975
        And way, way up
        at the top of the tower,

1883
01:54:09,977 --> 01:54:14,279
    yes, a balcony will be there
    encircling the whole thing.

1884
01:54:14,281 --> 01:54:18,250
    And outside on the balcony,
    that's where I'll stand.

1885
01:54:18,252 --> 01:54:19,785
Oh, my God.

1886
01:54:19,787 --> 01:54:21,920
That you would
stand up there,

1887
01:54:21,922 --> 01:54:23,822
so horribly high up,

1888
01:54:23,824 --> 01:54:27,025
so dizzyingly high up.

1889
01:54:27,027 --> 01:54:31,396
        That's where I'll stand,
        and of course, you'll
        be able to come up also.

1890
01:54:31,398 --> 01:54:35,601
The master builder
will be permitted to
come up to the princess?

1891
01:54:35,603 --> 01:54:37,870
                Yes, of course.

1892
01:54:39,272 --> 01:54:42,908
But maybe he won't be able
to build anymore,
poor Master Builder.

1893
01:54:42,910 --> 01:54:45,677
            No.
            He will build.

1894
01:54:45,679 --> 01:54:47,946
            Because, you see,

1895
01:54:47,948 --> 01:54:50,616
    you and I are
    going to be partners now.

1896
01:54:51,684 --> 01:54:54,353
But what are we
gonna build, Hilde?

1897
01:55:03,730 --> 01:55:05,364
            Excuse me.

1898
01:55:07,400 --> 01:55:09,301
                Look!

1899
01:55:09,303 --> 01:55:12,204
        It's going to be so
        incredibly beautiful.

1900
01:55:12,206 --> 01:55:15,407
Uh, what are you doing here?

1901
01:55:15,409 --> 01:55:19,544
Well, I promised the foreman
I'd bring the wreath.

1902
01:55:19,546 --> 01:55:21,613
                        Now?

1903
01:55:22,448 --> 01:55:24,883
    So, uh...

1904
01:55:24,885 --> 01:55:27,486
is your father
doing a bit better then?

1905
01:55:28,221 --> 01:55:30,789
        Mmm.

1906
01:55:30,791 --> 01:55:32,991
    Not really.

1907
01:55:33,960 --> 01:55:36,461
        But, um, did
        the things I wrote...

1908
01:55:36,463 --> 01:55:37,996
            cheer him up at all?

1909
01:55:37,998 --> 01:55:40,966
No, they came too late,
I'm sorry to say.

1910
01:55:40,968 --> 01:55:42,901
    Oh. You mean--

1911
01:55:42,903 --> 01:55:47,506
When Kaya arrived,
he was already in a coma.
He'd had a stroke actually.

1912
01:55:47,508 --> 01:55:49,942
For God's sake,
go home and take care of him.

1913
01:55:49,944 --> 01:55:53,278
-There's nothing more
 I can do for him now.
-Well, you ought to be with him.

1914
01:55:53,280 --> 01:55:56,882
Well, she's with him.
She's sitting by the bed.

1915
01:55:56,884 --> 01:56:00,285
        - You mean Kaya?
        - Yeah. Kaya.

1916
01:56:01,821 --> 01:56:05,624
But, you see, I don't have
anything for you to do here.

1917
01:56:05,626 --> 01:56:07,759
    Yes, I know.

1918
01:56:07,761 --> 01:56:10,295
    But I'm staying
    for the ceremony.

1919
01:56:11,431 --> 01:56:14,800
Oh. I see.
Well, all right then.

1920
01:56:14,802 --> 01:56:19,237
I'll take this down to the men,
and I'll be back in a moment.

1921
01:56:22,608 --> 01:56:25,711
I would have thought you might
have thanked him at least.

1922
01:56:27,046 --> 01:56:28,814
Thanked him?
You think I should have
thanked him?

1923
01:56:28,816 --> 01:56:30,615
                Yes, of course.

1924
01:56:30,617 --> 01:56:33,118
You're probably the one
I should actually thank.
Am I right?

1925
01:56:33,120 --> 01:56:35,287
- What do you mean?
- Where is he?

1926
01:56:35,289 --> 01:56:39,191
He took the wreath to the men
who are working down there.
        He took the wreath?

1927
01:56:39,193 --> 01:56:42,361
What if he gets it in his head
to go up that scaffolding?

1928
01:56:42,363 --> 01:56:44,196
- I've got to stop him.
-         I'm sorry.

1929
01:56:44,198 --> 01:56:46,465
            Some visitors
            need attending to
            at the front door.

1930
01:56:46,467 --> 01:56:48,900
I can't.
But the women have just arrived.
They've come to see you.

1931
01:56:48,902 --> 01:56:51,903
They've come now?
        They've come
        to watch the ceremony.

1932
01:56:51,905 --> 01:56:54,573
        Can't you just
        ask them to leave?
No, it's impossible.

1933
01:56:54,575 --> 01:56:58,944
They've come to my house.
It's certainly my obligation
to look after them.

1934
01:56:58,946 --> 01:57:03,915
But you can stay here,
and when he comes back
just hold on to him.

1935
01:57:03,917 --> 01:57:05,584
Don't let him go.

1936
01:57:05,586 --> 01:57:08,854
There are so many things
I need to be doing right now.

1937
01:57:08,856 --> 01:57:12,824
Excuse me. Can we step
        in here for a minute?

1938
01:57:12,826 --> 01:57:15,894
Look, I don't want
to upset you.

1939
01:57:15,896 --> 01:57:18,697
I just want to say
I think you ought to
proceed with caution.

1940
01:57:18,699 --> 01:57:21,366
Because I'd be very surprised
if you really know him yet.

1941
01:57:21,368 --> 01:57:23,802
        I know him better
        than anyone in the world
        knows him.

1942
01:57:23,804 --> 01:57:26,972
You think
I should have thanked him.
Can I tell you something?

1943
01:57:26,974 --> 01:57:31,143
This is the man who kept me
down at the lowest level,
year after year.

1944
01:57:31,145 --> 01:57:34,613
He ruined my father's life.
He made my father
lose his respect for me.

1945
01:57:34,615 --> 01:57:37,916
He made me lose
whatever respect I might
once have had for myself.

1946
01:57:37,918 --> 01:57:41,486
And this man is such a coward,
he can't even climb the towers
he himself has designed,

1947
01:57:41,488 --> 01:57:43,455
not even this one
for his own house.

1948
01:57:43,457 --> 01:57:46,992
I saw him climb up an
enormous tower and tie a wreath
to a church's weather vane.

1949
01:57:46,994 --> 01:57:50,162
You saw him do that?
He's going to do it again today.
We're all going to see it.

1950
01:57:50,164 --> 01:57:52,230
Yes, but he won't.
He can't.

1951
01:57:52,232 --> 01:57:54,499
Maybe at one time he could,
but now he can't.

1952
01:57:54,501 --> 01:57:57,636
There's something else I have
to tell you, something I've
just learned this afternoon.

1953
01:57:57,638 --> 01:57:58,770
                Is that right?

1954
01:57:58,772 --> 01:58:01,039
Do you have any idea why
he did everything he could...

1955
01:58:01,041 --> 01:58:03,442
to stop me
from leaving this office?

1956
01:58:03,444 --> 01:58:06,144
He didn't want me to leave
because if I left...

1957
01:58:06,146 --> 01:58:09,114
he couldn't get his dirty hands
on my fiancée.

1958
01:58:09,116 --> 01:58:10,916
                That's not true.
                That's a lie.

1959
01:58:10,918 --> 01:58:13,085
She told me herself
this afternoon.

1960
01:58:13,087 --> 01:58:15,287
She said he literally
controls her soul.

1961
01:58:15,289 --> 01:58:18,623
        No, it's all about you.
        He had to keep you from
        setting off on your own.

1962
01:58:18,625 --> 01:58:21,159
    Why?

1963
01:58:24,630 --> 01:58:27,365
Oh, my God.
It's what I've always thought.

1964
01:58:27,367 --> 01:58:31,303
He knew I would be
a good architect.
He was afraid of me.

1965
01:58:31,305 --> 01:58:34,573
    Well, everything is going
    terribly well down there.

1966
01:58:34,575 --> 01:58:38,009
    The foreman, Mr. Tesman,
    is going to take the wreath
    up the tower.

1967
01:58:38,011 --> 01:58:39,778
        It's all going to be
        fantastic.

1968
01:58:39,780 --> 01:58:43,381
Yes, that Tesman really is
a courageous fellow.

1969
01:58:44,283 --> 01:58:46,718
He's a man I admire.

1970
01:58:46,720 --> 01:58:50,789
He's an honorable,
upstanding, decent man.

1971
01:58:52,558 --> 01:58:55,093
    What are you trying to
    say to us exactly?

1972
01:58:55,095 --> 01:58:57,062
                        Just...

1973
01:58:57,064 --> 01:58:59,698
Tesman is a man
I respect.

1974
01:59:11,077 --> 01:59:12,544
        So--

1975
01:59:12,546 --> 01:59:14,913
                        What?
It's true, isn't it?

1976
01:59:16,816 --> 01:59:19,451
            The bookkeeper?

1977
01:59:19,453 --> 01:59:20,919
                Kaya?

1978
01:59:26,259 --> 01:59:28,193
- What are you?

1979
01:59:28,195 --> 01:59:30,195
<i>Aline, I need</i>
<i>that blue bottle!</i>

1980
01:59:30,197 --> 01:59:33,098
<i>Solness. Solness!</i>

1981
01:59:33,100 --> 01:59:35,433
Are you really afraid
to climb the tower?

1982
01:59:35,435 --> 01:59:37,702
Is that what you are,
you pathetic creature?

1983
01:59:37,704 --> 01:59:40,272
    If that's how you see me,
    I can't bear that.

1984
01:59:40,274 --> 01:59:42,674
Then let me see you
differently.

1985
01:59:42,676 --> 01:59:46,244
Let me see you
up there on that tower,
high up and standing free.

1986
01:59:46,246 --> 01:59:48,747
                    No, I can't!
That's what I want!

1987
01:59:48,749 --> 01:59:52,551
That is what I want.
            But I can't do that.
            I told you.

1988
01:59:52,553 --> 01:59:55,120
            This is the moment
            everything is
            going to stop.

1989
01:59:55,122 --> 01:59:56,988
                I am going to
                stop building!

1990
01:59:56,990 --> 01:59:59,991
No, this is the moment
when you're going to start.

1991
01:59:59,993 --> 02:00:04,663
Because you won't be alone.
I'll be with you,
and we'll do it together.

1992
02:00:04,665 --> 02:00:07,299
        But what are we
        going to build, Hilde?

1993
02:00:07,301 --> 02:00:10,602
We're going to build these
very special structures...

1994
02:00:10,604 --> 02:00:13,705
that will be more beautiful
than anything on earth.

1995
02:00:13,707 --> 02:00:15,240
            You mean--
    Yes.

1996
02:00:15,242 --> 02:00:17,642
We're going to build
dream palaces...

1997
02:00:17,644 --> 02:00:20,178
that will be able
to stand firmly...

1998
02:00:20,180 --> 02:00:22,514
right in the middle
of the sky.

1999
02:00:22,516 --> 02:00:26,017
They will stand firmly
in the middle of the sky.

2000
02:00:26,019 --> 02:00:26,952
Solness!

2001
02:00:26,954 --> 02:00:28,820
            If I were to
            try it, Hilde--

2002
02:00:28,822 --> 02:00:30,822
    If I were to try to climb
    the tower tonight--

2003
02:00:30,824 --> 02:00:33,892
            If I were to make it
            to the top
            of the tower,

2004
02:00:33,894 --> 02:00:37,696
        I would stand there
        and I would make
        a very simple vow--

2005
02:00:37,698 --> 02:00:41,333
to devote the rest of my life to
building the only structures...

2006
02:00:41,335 --> 02:00:43,969
    which actually
    can contain human happiness.

2007
02:00:43,971 --> 02:00:45,337
That's right.

2008
02:00:45,339 --> 02:00:47,639
            Those extraordinary
            towers...

2009
02:00:47,641 --> 02:00:51,810
            that stand firmly
            right in the middle
            of the sky.

2010
02:00:51,812 --> 02:00:55,313
    And I would vow
    to build them together...

2011
02:00:55,315 --> 02:00:57,849
            with a princess
            whom I love.

2012
02:00:57,851 --> 02:00:59,317
I need that blue bottle!

2013
02:00:59,319 --> 02:01:02,821
        Then I would wave wildly
        to everyone below,

2014
02:01:02,823 --> 02:01:04,456
        and I would climb down,

2015
02:01:04,458 --> 02:01:08,727
    and I would throw my arms
    around my princess's neck,

2016
02:01:08,729 --> 02:01:11,563
            and I would kiss her
            and kiss her.

2017
02:01:11,565 --> 02:01:13,698
I've got it.

2018
02:01:13,700 --> 02:01:15,233
My master builder.

2019
02:01:15,235 --> 02:01:17,302
    My master builder.

2020
02:01:20,373 --> 02:01:24,876
Mr.
 Tesman asked me to tell you he's ready to climb the tower with the wreath.

2021
02:01:24,878 --> 02:01:28,446
            Well, I'm going to
            go down there
            myself now.

2022
02:01:28,448 --> 02:01:30,915
    What are you going to do
    down there, Halvard?

2023
02:01:30,917 --> 02:01:35,220
Well, I need to be with the men
who are working down there.

2024
02:01:35,222 --> 02:01:39,824
    I mean,
    that's where I usually am
    on these occasions.

2025
02:01:39,826 --> 02:01:43,328
You have to tell Mr. Tesman
he has to be so careful--

2026
02:01:43,330 --> 02:01:44,863
    when he climbs that tower.

2027
02:01:44,865 --> 02:01:47,966
    Promise me you won't
    forget to tell him.

2028
02:02:08,521 --> 02:02:10,388
Halvard, no.

2029
02:02:10,390 --> 02:02:12,824
        I have it!
        I've got it!

2030
02:02:12,826 --> 02:02:15,126
No.

2031
02:02:15,128 --> 02:02:16,594
It's him.

2032
02:02:16,596 --> 02:02:19,264
        Climbing higher.
Oh, my God.

2033
02:02:19,266 --> 02:02:21,132
                    Higher.

2034
02:02:21,134 --> 02:02:25,303
He's bound to turn around.
He can't keep going.
                Climbing.

2035
02:02:25,305 --> 02:02:27,572
Climbing.

2036
02:02:27,574 --> 02:02:30,608
<i>Almost there.</i>
<i>Almost there at the very top!</i>

2037
02:02:30,610 --> 02:02:33,712
        Now he's hanging
        the wreath.

2038
02:02:35,315 --> 02:02:37,182
        Now he's waving! Yes!

2039
02:02:43,357 --> 02:02:45,623
                    Halvard.

2040
02:02:45,625 --> 02:02:47,025
                    No.

2041
02:03:22,895 --> 02:03:24,863
My master builder.

2042
02:03:27,032 --> 02:03:29,000
My master builder.

2042
02:03:30,305 --> 02:03:36,730
