片名：致命魔术
你看仔细了吗？ Are you watching closely?
每种魔术都有三个步骤 或程序 Every magic trick consists of three parts, or acts.
第一步 “验证” The first part is called "the pledge."
魔术师展示普通的东西 The magician shows you something ordinary.
一副牌 一只鸟或一个人 A deck of cards, a bird or a man.
他先展示道具 He shows you this object.
还会要求你去检查 Perhaps he asks you to inspect it,
验证真实性… to see that it is indeed real,
不变性和普通性 unaltered, normal.
当然 那都是假象 But, of course, it probably isn't.
你要去哪儿？ Where do you think you're going?
我也是参加演出的 笨蛋 I'm part of the bloody act, you fool.
第二步 “转变” The second act is called "the turn."
魔术师将普通的东西 The magician takes the ordinary something
变化成不寻常的东西 and makes it do something extraordinary.
想寻找其中的奥秘 你却找不到 Now you're looking for the secret, but you won't find it,
那是因为你没有在找 because, of course, you're not really looking.
你其实不想知道 You don't really want to know.
你想被…愚弄 You want to be... fooled.
但你还不会鼓掌… But you wouldn't clap yet,
因为物体消失了还不够 because making something disappear isn't enough.
你还要把它变回来 You have to bring it back.
所以每种魔术还有第三步 That's why every magic trick has a third act.
最难的一步 The hardest part.
我们称之为… The part we call...
“隐循” ..."the prestige."
隐循？那罗伯特·安吉尔 又称伟大的丹东 你的属下 The prestige? And did Robert Angier, the Great Danton, your employer,
那晚完成了最后一步没？ get to that final part of his trick that night?
没有 出事故了 什么事故？ No, sir. Something went wrong. What went wrong?
我看见有人溜进了台下 I saw someone making their way below stage.
我跟上去 I followed him.
见波顿看着溺水的安吉尔先生 It was Borden, watching Mr. Angier drown.
请对陪审团解释您的职务 科特先生 Would you please describe your occupation to the jury, Mr. Cutter.
我是工程师 我设计幻象 I'm an ingenieur, I design illusions
也制作表演需要的道具 and construct the apparatus necessary for performing them.
科特先生 把水箱住满并放在舞台下面 So, Mr. Cutter, was this water-filled tank beneath the stage
也是安吉尔先生的设计？ part of Mr. Angier's illusion?
不 水箱是表演第一个魔术用的 No. The tank was brought on for the first trick
然后就被搬出舞台 and then taken offstage.
之后 一定是伯德把它放在机关下面 Borden must have placed it under the trap door after the end of it.
水箱有多大？ How large was this tank?
水循用的普通水箱 It's a normal tank for escape under water,
大概400至500加仑的水 about 400 or 500 gallons.
你怎么肯定他能挪动水箱 How do you think he was able to move the tank
并在不被发现的情况下 放置机关下面？ under the trap door without anyone noticing?
他是魔术师 你问他 He's a magician, ask him.
我再问一遍 I ask again,
你能否说出安吉尔的魔术手法 would this man explain the mechanics of Mr. Angier's illusion.
“真·移形换影”是在这行业里 The Real Transported Man is one of the most sought after illusions
最热门的魔术 in this business.
我有权要求金钱交易 I have the right to sell it on.
如果我在这里揭露 魔术就不值钱了 If I reveal the method here, the trick is won'thless.
那我们怎么能确定水箱… How can we know that the tank wasn't simply
不是那魔术的一个失误 some part of the trick that went wrong?
科特先生 我明白你的困境 Mr. Cutter, I see your predicament.
但这关系到艾佛瑞·波顿的命运 But Alfred Borders life hangs in the balance.
如果你愿意私下告诉我其中的内容 If you were prepared to disclose the details to me in private,
我或许能判断此案与水箱的联系 I might be able to judge their relevance to the case.
能达成妥协吗？ Might this be an acceptable compromise?
请清空您的口袋 I'm going to have to ask you to turn out your pockets.
不关我的事 先生 狱长去年在曼城看过他的演出 Not my idea, sir. The warden saw his show in Manchester last year
他能消失于无形 where he vanished into thin air.
狱长相信他想越狱 He's convinced he'll try and escape.
我告诉他如果把伯德和其他牢犯关一起 I told him the only way Borders going to disappear
他才会不见 is if I leave him out there with the other inmates.
检查锁… Check the locks...
再检查一遍 ...twice.
我叫欧文斯 My name is Owens.
我是名律师 I'm a solicitor.
我代表卡尔多罗勋爵 他是一位杰出的业余魔术师 I represent Lord Caldlow, an accomplished amateur magician and...
多少钱？ How much?
他很关心… 肯出多少钱？ He is interested... How much for my tricks?
5000英镑 Five thousand pounds.
跟我的工程师佛伦去说 把钱给他 Talk to Fallon, my ingenieur. Money's for him.
我去谈过了 他愿意把你的魔术卖给我 Yes, I did. He offered to sell me your tricks.
除了最值钱的“移形换影” 其他都肯卖 All except the most valuable one, The Transported Man.
我也不会允许自己卖出我最得意的魔术 Well, I won't forgive myself for selling my greatest trick.
为了你女儿也不行？ Even for your daughter?
如果罪名成立 你会被吊死 就没人照顾你女儿了 If you are for the drop, your daughter is going to need looking after.
佛伦会的 Fallon will take care of her.
不错 佛伦 Perfect, Fallon.
他和你一样卑贱 A man with a past as obscure as your own.
法庭同意取消他的监护权 她要成孤儿了 The courts have motioned she be removed from his care. She will be an orphan.
你一定熟悉贫民习艺所的日子 I know you're no stranger to the workhouse.
和这儿哪个好？ It's better than here?
我帮你收拾残局 I'm offering you a way to wrap up your affairs with dignity.
还给你女儿将来 I'm offering your daughter a future.
有凯尔德洛勋爵的庇护 她什么都不会缺 As Lord Caldlow's ward, she will want for nothing...
…永远不会缺 ...ever.
想想吧 Well, think it over.
凯尔德洛勋爵还想给你这个 And Lord Caldlow would like you to have this,
…表示他的诚意 你或许会感兴趣 as a show of good faith. It might be of interest.
罗伯特·安吉尔的日记 包括他在科罗拉多时… Robert Angier's diary, including the time he spent in Colorado
研究你魔术的笔记 learning your trick.
他从来没学我的魔术 是吗？ He never learned it. Really?
他回来后 自己创造了“移形换影” On his return, he mounted a version of The Transported Man
报刊说要比你的原版要好的多 that the papers said was better even than your original.
如果你要安吉尔德秘密 If you want Angier's secrets,
就去撬棺材问他本人好了 you go dig him up and ask him yourself.
我要你的秘密 波顿先生 I want your secret, Mr. Borden.
为你女儿想一想 Consider your daughter.
一个文字组合 A cipher,
引发一个谜 an enigma...
导致搜寻 ...a search,
搜寻它的答案 a search for answers.
就算科罗拉多是我行程的终点 Even if Colorado is the end of my journey,
我还要继续揭开 it'll take much longer to unravel
波顿的其他秘密 the rest of Borders secrets.
他笔记中的每个代码 See, the cipher in his notebook is
都代表一个词语 unlocked by a single word,
但这也要花数月翻译 but it will still take months to translate his writing.
去探索他的思绪 And to know his mind.
这探索就是我热衷的 Well, my passion is equal to the task.
安吉尔先生 欢迎来到科罗拉多泉 Mr. Angier, welcome to Colorado Springs.
全镇都能用电？ 是的 先生 The whole town has electricity. Yes, sir.
好吧 Well...
很欢迎我嘛 ...quite a reception.
您是我们这季度的第一位客人 安吉尔先生 You're our first guest of the season, Mr. Angier.
您的电报没说明您要住多久 Your telegram didn't indicate how long you'd be staying with us.
能住多久就多久 As long as it takes.
明天我要辆马车送我上山 I will need a coach tomorrow to take me up the mountain.
但山峰被封锁了 先生 Well, the peak's closed, sir.
用于科学研究 For scientific experimentation.
是 我知道 Yes, I know.
我就为此而来 That's why I'm here.
抱歉 先生 接下来必须步行了 You'll have to walk the rest, I'm afraid, sir.
我就奇怪多少报社记者… I'm amazed how many of you newspaper writers
看不懂我的标识牌 can't read my sign.
电网
这种欢迎真出人意料 Not the welcome I was expecting.
我认识你 I know you.
你是伟大的丹东 You're the Great Danton.
我在伦敦看过你的演出 I saw your show in London.
你七次都猜对… Seven times you guessed every object
观众口袋里的每件物品 the audience had in their pockets.
我是阿里 这围栏也是不得已的 总有人干涉我们工作 I'm Alley. Sorry about the fence. People keep interfering with our work.
我是来见特斯拉的 为什么？ I've come to see Tesla. Why?
他以前为我的同事做过一个机器 He made a machine for a colleague of mine some time ago.
能让我见见他本人吗？ 不行 我很抱歉 Can you get me a meeting with him? Impossible, I'm afraid.
我有很多钱 I've brought a lot of money.
对不起 安吉尔先生 I'm sorry, Mr. Angier.
我帮不了你 I simply can't help.
我会在旅馆 住一阵子 I'll be staying at the hotel, indefinitely.
嘿 我手里拿得是什么？ Hey, what am I holding?
你的怀表 Your watch.
波顿日记 1897年4月3日 Borders journal entry for April 3, 1897,
记载他在奥芬大剧院德演出 describes a show at the Orpheum Theatre.
也正是他第一次遇见我之后的几天 That was just days after he first met me.
我们当时都在事业的起跑线上 We were two young men at the start of a great career,
两个为幻象尽心尽力… two young men devoted to an illusion,
不想伤害任何人的年轻人 two young men who never intended to hurt anyone.
你们中谁愿意 Which of you brave souls
为这位年轻女士捆绑 is willing to bind this lovely young woman?
我！ Me!
请捆住她的手腕… If you would tie her wrists,
在她脚踝处 bind her feet...
捆住双脚 ...around the ankle.
你们二位是水手吗？ Are either of you two gentlemen sailors?
不是 不是 No. No.
我想你们可以把结打得死死的 I'm sure you can both tie a strong knot.
他自鸣得意 平庸且无聊 He's complacent, he's predictable, he's boring.
密尔顿已取得成功 不管是什么 Milton has gotten success, whatever that means,
他现在怕了 怕得不敢大胆创新 so now he's scared. He won't take any risks at all.
他浪费观众对他的诚意… He's squandering the goodwill of his audience with tired,
表演老套的二流魔术 却是最好看的魔术 second-rate tricks... They're all favorites.
好看？那就该玩新花样 他连接子弹都不肯试 Give me something fresh. He won't even try a bloody bullet catch.
接子弹太冒险 A bullet catch is suicide.
除非哪个笨蛋会拿纽扣上膛 All it takes is some smartass volunteer to put a button in the barrel.
那好 找个内应 你不能每次都用自己人 Use a plant. You can't for every trick.
不然客人就没椅子坐了 No seats left for the punters.
算了 不演接子弹 重点是真正的魔术… All right, no bullet catch, whatever, but the point is a real magician
就是要创新 tries to invent something new
让其他魔术师摸不着头脑 that other magicians will scratch their heads over.
然后你再把它卖给他们 Then you sell it to him for a small fortune.
什么？ 难道你有什么新招数？ What? I suppose you have such a trick?
当然有 那要不要卖给我？ I sure do. Would you care to sell it to me?
不 不行 没人能表演我的魔术 No. No one else can do my trick.
任何魔术都能被模仿 对吗？科特先生 错 Any trick can be duplicated. Wrong.
如果波顿发明了自己的杰作 If Mr. Borden has invented his masterpiece,
他就该做好表演的准备 he's prepared to do it.
密尔顿是做戏的 但波顿说得对 Milton is a showman, but Borden is right,
他不肯去尝试 he won't get his hands dirty.
如果你们想知道如何创造真正的魔术 If you want to see what it takes to make real magic,
那去腾勒 那里有个中国人 他是有真功夫的 go to the Tenley. There's a Chinaman there and he really has what it takes.
苏承灵 我可没钱 Chung Ling Soo. I can't afford that.
我认识一个看门的 I know the bloke run the door.
你们俩去看他的表演 然后告诉我… You two go and see that show, and whichever one of you can tell me
为何他的金鱼缸表演能得奖 how he does the goldfish bowl trick gets the prize.
什么奖？ 我和一老友… Which is? Ten minutes onstage
艾克曼先生共演10分钟 with my old friend, Mr. Ackerman.
真的？ 艾克曼是谁？ Really? Who's Ackerman?
伦敦最高剧院经纪人 The top theatrical agent in London.
我见你之前又把结打散了 是我转动了手腕 I saw you drop the knot again. I turned my wrists.
你怎么总隔几天犯这错误 Some nights you just don't get it, do you?
如果结没打紧的话 朱利娅那么掉下来 I mean, if that knot slips and Julia's on the hoist,
会摔断腿的 she'll break her leg.
我打错结了 It's the wrong knot.
我说过 朗格福特双扣结更紧 Like I said, the Langford double will hold tighter.
朗格福特双扣不是活结 那太危险了 The Langford double isn't a wet knot. It's too dangerous.
如果绳子膨胀 她解不开的 If the rope swells, she can't slip it.
我能在水里解开朗格福特结 她能解 我们就能排练 I can slip a Langford underwater. We can practice.
波顿 他说了不行 哦 你比我还懂打结是吗？ Borden, he said no. Oh, you know knots better than me?
听着 不许再犯错 Listen, no more mistakes.
好吧 要不要？ 要不要代替我来打？ All right. Yeah? Do you? You want to take over?
别再说了 我就知道你不行 Just leave. I didn't think so.
嘿 科特 他从哪儿来的？ Hey, Cutter, where's he from?
你从哪儿来的？ 他在大堂为维吉尔递道具的 Where are you from? He shifts props for Virgil at the hall.
不怕他偷你的魔术？ 他不会的 Worried he'll steal your tricks? Doesn't deal in methods.
你怎么知道？ 因为是我雇了他 How do you know? Because I hired him
去发掘维吉尔的桔子戏法 to find out how Virgil does the orange trick.
我不相信他 他是个天才魔术师 I don't trust him. He's a natural magician.
当然不可信 'Course you can't trust him.
我觉得他没问题 I think he's all right.
你觉得谁都没问题 包括你 You think everyone's all right. Even you.
注意你的举止 如果我能看到你亲你老婆的腿 Watch your sightlines. If I can see you kiss your wife's leg every night,
倒数3 4排的男人肯定也看得到 so can the blokes at the ends of rows three and four!
你错了 不可能的 You're wrong. It can't be.
你看那老家伙 这才是秘诀 Look at the man. This is the trick.
他在演戏 就在那里 This is the performance. Right here.
所以才没人能拆穿他的把戏 This is why no one can detect his method.
他能为艺术献身 Total devotion to his art.
自我牺牲 A lot of self-sacrifice.
所以… You know.
这是唯一的办法 It's the only way to escape...
摆脱别人的猜测 知道吗？ ...all this, you know?
我这样都夹不住 更别说装满水的了 I can barely lift this thing and it's not even filled with water.
还有鱼 看着 Or fish, look.
我不知道 等一下 I don't know. Hang on a second.
他一定和公牛一样强壮 He must be strong as an ox.
他装瘸装好几年了 He's been pretending to be a cripple for years.
只要是公共场合就要装 不可思议 Any time he's in public, any time he goes out. It's unthinkable.
波顿立即看穿了 但我却不能了解 Borden saw it at once. But I couldn't fathom it.
过着假扮的他人的日子 Living my whole life pretending to be someone else.
但你是在假扮别人 You are pretending.
我只是换了个名字而已 I don't think changing a name compares.
不只是名字 还有性格和背景 Not your name. Who you are and where you're from.
因为我发誓我不会让家人为我剧院生涯蒙羞 I promised I wouldn't embarrass my family with my theatrical endeavors.
我为你想了个名字 I thought of a name for you.
“伟大的丹东” The Great Danton.
喜欢吗？很气派 Do you like it? But it's sophisticated.
那是法国人的名字 It's French.
波顿写道世上只有他 了解魔术的真谛 Borden writes as if no one but he understood the true nature of magic.
但他对自我牺牲的看法是什么？ But what does he know of self-sacrifice?
你这个笨蛋 You bloody fool.
他杀了小鸟 没事的 He killed it. It's OK.
他杀了小鸟 他没有 He killed it. He didn't.
看 他要把它变回来了 Look, now he'll bring it back.
不 他杀了小鸟 他没有 No, he killed it. No, he didn't.
看见没 他没事 小鸟没事 Look, see, he's all right. He's fine.
看一看 但它的哥哥在哪儿？ Look at him. But where's his brother?
聪明的孩子 你儿子 He's a sharp lad, your son.
哦 他是我侄子 Oh, he's my nephew.
你今天走运了 You're the lucky one today.
看仔细了没？ Are you watching closely?
你再看仔细点 Look closer.
别告诉别人 Never show anyone.
他们会为这个求你 拍你马屁 They'll beg you and flatter you for the secret,
如果你说了 他们不会再理你了 but as soon as you give it up, you'll be nothing to them.
懂不？不理你了 You understand? Nothing.
秘密被揭穿就不稀奇了 The secret impresses no one.
变出东西来才够神气 The trick you use it for is everything.
谢谢你的午餐 波顿先生 Well, thank you for lunch, Mr. Borden.
不用客气 You're welcome.
艾佛瑞 叫我艾佛瑞 Alfred, it's Alfred.
艾佛瑞 Alfred.
能进去喝杯茶吗？ So I could use a cup of tea.
不行…房东不允许… I can't allow... It's the landlord. It's not...
你认为这缝隙…能阻止我吗？ You think that's... Is that enough to keep me out?
我想是的 I think so.
那再见了 So I'll see you again?
加牛奶和糖吗？ Milk and sugar?
这里面是什么？ What's in there?
安吉尔的机器 Angier's machine.
你做的 科特先生？ You built this, Mr. Cutter?
哦 不 这不是魔术师做的机器 Oh, no, sir. This wasn't built by a magician.
是巫师做的 This was built by a wizard.
能真正变出魔术师假装变出来的东西 A man who can actually do what magicians pretend to do.
我想问结案后 法官大人会如何处置这些东西？ Tell me, Your Honor, what happens with these things after the trial?
他们已经卖给卡尔多罗勋爵了 They've been sold to a Lord Caldlow.
一位热心的收藏家 对这案子很有兴趣 An avid collector, very interested in the case.
是吗 别让他带走这个 Yeah. Well, don't let him take this.
为什么？ 它太危险了 Why ever not? It's too dangerous.
我确定在这精密的仪器里 I'm sure beneath its bells and whistles
隐藏的只是简单的让人失望的机关 it's got a simple and disappointing trick.
恐怕是最让人失望的 大人 The most disappointing of all, sir.
这里没有机关 It has no trick.
这是真的 It's real.
这就是安吉尔溺死的水箱？ This is the tank Angier drowned in?
是的 Yes.
这里是… This is the...
表演者露出手的地方 ...place where the performer's hand reaches through
这样能够到挂锁 to the trick padlock.
很典型的逃脱机关 A standard magical apparatus for escapes?
但有一点不同 Yeah, with one important difference.
这不是机关锁 This isn't a trick lock.
他被换成真锁了 It's been switched for a real one.
这样就能害人了 What a way to kill someone.
他们是魔术师 大人 They're magicians, Your Honor.
艺人 他们穿着普通 有时候再普通不过了 Showmen, men who live by dressing up plain and sometimes brutal truths,
却能让你吃惊甚至震惊 to amaze, to shock.
在没有观众的情况下也是？ Even without an audience?
当时就有一位 There was an audience.
你看 这水箱 You see, this water tank
对那两个男人是至关重要的导火线 was of particular significance to these two men.
非常重要 Particularly awful significance.
你们中谁愿意为这位年轻女士捆绑？ Which of you brave souls is willing to bind this lovely young woman?
请捆住她的手腕 If you would tie her wrists,
脚踝处捆住双脚 bind her feet around the ankle.
二位是水手吗？ 不是 Are either of you gentlemen sailors? No.
我想你们可以把结打得死死的 I'm sure you can both tie a strong knot.
罗伯特！ Robert!
不 不 No, no.
朱利娅 朱利娅！ Julia. Julia!
我曾经认识位水手 I knew an old sailor once.
有人告诉我他去过海外 They told me he went overboard,
却在航行中失去意识 tangled in the sails.
他们把他从水中捞起 They pulled him out,
5分钟后 他才喘过气来 but it took him five minutes to cough.
他说那就像… He said it was like...
…回家 ...going home.
你想说什么 波顿？ What do you want, Borden?
我很抱歉 安吉尔 I'm sorry for your loss, Angier.
你打了哪个结？ Which knot did you tie?
我也在不停地问自己 I keep asking myself that.
然后呢？ 然后… And? And...
对不起 我就是不知道 I'm sorry, I just don't know.
你不知道？ You don't know?
对不起 I'm sorry.
你不知道？ You don't know?
你不知道？！ You don't know?!
艾佛瑞？ 好消息 我们有了首次演出签约 Alfred? Good news. We got our first booking.
值得高兴 I don't think we've had the pleasure.
佛伦先生是我的工程师 你从哪儿弄来这些… Mr. Fallon is my ingenieur. Where did you get all?
我借来的…别问了 他很有上进心 I had to borrow and... don't ask. He's a very enterprising soul
是…佛伦先生… is... is Mr. Fallon. So...
我们雇不起他 观众会给他钱的 We can't afford to pay him. The money will come with the audience.
那演出前怎么办？ 我是说 我们俩都不够用 But what about until then? What I earn, it's barely enough for us.
别担心 我会把我那一半食物给他 Don't worry about it. I'll share half my food with him or something.
你真要和别人一起合作 You're going to be doing that with someone else.
不 你… No. You're...
怀孕了 Having a baby.
哦 天哪 Oh, my God.
我们应该告诉佛伦 太好了 We should have told Fallon. That is great.
哦 抱一下 Oh, come here.
艾佛瑞 这是什么？ Alfred, what is this?
哦 这是我在艾克曼最后要表演的魔术 Oh, this is just the trick to work Ackerman up at the end of my act.
这就是你的杰作 最伟大的魔术？ Is it the masterpiece, the great trick?
不 不 不 这世界还没准备好那个的降临 No, no, no, the world is not ready for that one yet.
这只是普通水平的接子弹 亲爱的 This is just your run-of-the-mill, daring, spectacular bullet catch.
接子弹 是的 但绝对安全 A bullet catch. Yeah, but it's safe.
我发誓 看好 I promise. Look.
朝我开枪 对着你？ Shoot me. Shoot you?
来啊 开枪 Go on, shoot me.
朝这里 不 我不行 Right there. No, I can't.
不 不 不是那里 朝我这里射 不要… No, no, not there. Shoot me here. Don't...
怎么样？ How's that?
不错 告诉我怎么办到的 That's very good. Tell me how you do it.
不 我不能说 No, I can't do that.
那就表示你不会这个魔术 我不会？ Well, then you can't do it. I can't do it?
对不起 但我不能自己抚养孩子 I'm sorry, but I can't raise a child on my own.
那你别告诉任何人我的秘密 You don't tell anybody that I told you.
好 火药 OK. Gunpowder.
布垫 Wadding.
然后放子弹 Then the bullet.
推弹杆 Ramrod.
把手伸出来 Hold out your hand.
开枪时子弹根本就不在枪里 The bullet is not even in the gun when the charge is fired.
一旦知道了秘密 一切都变得明显了 Once you know, it's actually very obvious.
但我觉得 你还是会… Well, I mean, you still get...
这很危险的 It's dangerous.
也有人因这个丧命的 怎么会？ People still get killed doing that. How?
总会有些笨蛋放硬币或者纽扣进去 You get some smartass who could put a penny or a button
上帝 赛拉 也有可能放子弹 or, God forbid, Sarah, somebody could put a bullet down there.
别担心 别担心 Don't worry. Don't worry,
因为我不会让那种事发生的 because I'm not gonna let anything happen.
会没事的 因为… Everything's gonna be all right because...
…因为我很爱你 ...I love you very much.
再说一次 我爱你 Say it again. I love you.
今天不对 什么？ Not today. What?
有时候是认真的 但今天你不是 Well, some days it's not true, and today you don't mean it.
今天你或许更爱魔术胜过我 Maybe today you're more in love with magic than me.
我喜欢区别两者的不同 I like being able to tell the difference.
所以当你认真地时候… It makes the days it is true
就更值得珍惜 mean something.
好吧 All right.
铁圈 女士们先生们 Metal rings, ladies and gentlemen.
如果这里还有女士和先生的话 If there are any ladies and gentlemen here.
实心的 已经看过了 Solid metal. Seen that already.
谁扔的？ Who threw that?
这才是你们想看的 是吗？ This is what you came for, is it?
那么… So...
…谁愿意上前来？ ...who wants to volunteer?
我！我！ I do! Me!
我 Me.
你够不够男人 先生？ Are you man enough, sir?
是的 Yes.
你打了哪个结 波顿？ Which knot did you tie, Borden?
打了哪个结 波顿？ Which knot did you tie, Borden?
我不知道 I don't know.
他前来索要答案 我也说了实话 He came in to demand an answer, and I told him the truth.
那晚我一直在挣扎 That I have fought with myself over that night,
其中一个我发誓我打了个活结 one half of me swearing blind that I tied a simple slipknot,
另一个我确信我打了朗格福特结 the other half convinced that I tied the Langford double.
我永远都不会知道了 I can never know for sure.
他怎么可能不知道！ How can he not know!
他怎么可能不知道？ How can he not know?
他一定知道自己做了什么 He must know what he did.
一定知道 He must.
赛拉 痛死我了 Sarah, that bloody hurts.
我不明白怎么又流血了 I don't understand how it can be bleeding again.
变得和那天受伤时一样 It's as bad as the day it happened.
我们得再叫次医生 我们已经付不起了 We have to get a doctor back. We can't afford the doctor back.
你吵醒她了 老天 You've woken her. Great.
对不起 但我要复原才能回去工作 I'm sorry, I need this to heal so I can get back to work.
你必须面对现实 这样的伤还能变什么魔术？ You've got to face things. What tricks can you perform with this injury?
我能隔空拉车 我能表演道具魔术 I can do car pulls. I can do some prop tricks.
我还是能做那个魔术 我一直跟你提到的魔术 I can still do that. I can do the trick I've been telling you about.
让我名垂青史的魔术 The one that they're gonna remember me for.
好了 Come on.
我没想过会在酒杯下面找到答案 I never thought I'd find an answer at the bottom of a pint glass.
还没停止你的搜寻？ Hasn't stopped your looking.
听说有个预约 不错的小剧院 Heard about a booking. Nice little theater.
年轻 富有朝气的魔术师 谁？ Young, up-and-coming magician. Who?
你 我？预约？为什么？ You. Me? Booking? Why?
我想继续工作 I want to keep on working.
谁会雇佣在满席的奥芬剧院里 Who's going to hire the ingenieur that killed Julia McCullough
害死朱利娅·麦库勒的工程师？ in front of a sellout crowd at the Orpheum?
知道你是无辜的人就会 Someone who knows it wasn't your fault.
知道是艾佛瑞·波顿计划好的怪结惹的祸 Someone who knows Alfred Borden and his repertoire of exotic knots.
我听说他在南岸接子弹时出了意外 I hear he had a spot of bad luck catching a bullet south of the river.
那本来就是个危险的魔术 That's a dangerous trick, that one.
窗户会被涂白 We'll have to whitewash the windows,
虽然会引来更多好奇 但应该没问题 confound the more curious members of the public, but it will do.
还要找个助手 我已经安排好了 We should see about an assistant. I've made some arrangements.
想过起什么名字没？ You settled on a name?
有 Yes, I have.
伟大的丹东 The Great Danton.
不觉得有点土吗？ It's a bit old-fashioned, isn't it?
不 很气派的名字 No, it's sophisticated.
鸟笼已经不能做主打了 谁都知道那个魔术 The birdcage can't be our climax. Everybody knows it.
这个不一样 我不想杀鸽子 Not like this. I don't want to kill doves.
那就别上台表演 Then stay off the stage.
你是魔术师 不是巫师 You're a magician, not a wizard.
想要完成不可能的任务 就要亲自下手 You got to get your hands dirty, if you're going to achieve the impossible.
这里请 温斯克姆小姐 In here, Miss Wenscombe.
你挤不进的话就没必要和安吉尔先生谈话了 站右边 No point in meeting Mr. Angier if you don't fit. On the right.
这有什么难的？ 当然不难 What's so hard about this? Nothing.
你要进…这里 You're going... down here.

精彩 很精彩 Very nice. Very nice, indeed.
谢谢 非常感谢 我还没来得及称赞你富丽堂皇剧院 I haven't had the chance to compliment you on your beautiful theater.
满席时更漂亮 It'll be a lot more beautiful when it's full.
毋庸置疑 Don't worry.
你们都这么说 我怎么能不担心呢？ You all say that. Why should I worry?
你们的魔术吸引不了观众 总有人会的 If your tricks don't get them in, somebody else's will.
或许表演接子弹或者水循？ Maybe somebody willing to do a bullet catch or a water escape?
无聊的惊悚表演 Cheap thrills, Mr. Merrit.
大家都期待出些事故 或许真能看到 People hoping for an accident, likely to see one too.
那样对你的生意有何益处？ What would that do for your business?
你们可以演一周 约翰 You got a week, John.

先生 第三排那位 Uh... Sir, in the third row there.
请起立 拿出你的手帕给大家看 Please stand up and show us your handkerchief.
这不是我的 This isn't mine.
或许你该把这个还给第二排的女士 Perhaps you'd return it to the lady in the aisle of the second row.
我想你的手帕在她那里 I believe she has yours.
对不起 对不起 我犯了很多错 太紧张了 I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm making so many mistakes. I'm so nervous.
观众好像没什么反应 The audience doesn't seem to be responding.
他们看过很多魔术表演了 They've seen a lot of tricks before,
但绝没见过这一个 but not this next one.
盖好手绢 Cloth over.
祝你自己好运 Keep your fingers crossed.
我已经准备了香槟酒 I'll have the champagne ready.
见过这个吗？ 都看腻了 You've seen this one before? We've seen them all before.
那我是不是该变点花样？ I'll make it a little harder then, shall I?

和我一起拿着鸟笼 To hold this cage with me.
我接着要表演的魔术 I'll perform this feat in a manner

先生 双手放在笼子下面 Sir, one hand on the bottom of the cage
还有上面 one hand on the top.
我本该发现他的 你当时够忙的了 I should've spotted him. You had a lot of plates going.
看来这个再也做不成了 是啊 Don't suppose we can do this again. No.
那演出主打该换成什么？ 演出？ So, what's the climax of our show? Show?
没有演出了 我们说好了一周的 You don't have a show. We have a week's engagement.
一周魔术表演 不是宰鸽子 还弄断客人的手指 To perform magic, not butcher birds and break my customers'fingers.
收拾干净 不然明早都送去烧了 Clear out, anything here in the morning gets burned.
米瑞特先生 不行 约翰 Mr. Merrit... It's done, John.
我雇了个喜剧演员 你知道我讨厌喜剧演员 I've hired a comedian. You know I hate comedians.
算了 还有其他剧院呢 Well, there's plenty of good theaters.
只要有新的魔术 If we can come up with a new trick,
再把艺名改了 艺名不能改 change the name of the act. The name stays.
好吧 不改 那新魔术最好诱不可挡 Right, well, then the new trick's gonna have to be irresistible then.
我还有其他办法可以试试 I have a couple of methods to try out.
那就需要在形象上转型 And then we need a new angle on the presentation.
如果你需要灵感 And if you need some inspiration,

我被当成空想家 I was hailed as a visionary.
第二次… Second time...
我被礼貌的要求退休 ...I was asked politely to retire.
所以我现正享受我的退休生活 So here I am, enjoying my retirement.
没有什么不可能 安吉尔先生 你要的只是贵了点 Nothing is impossible, Mr. Angier. What you want is simply expensive.
如果我帮你完成机器 If I were to build for you this machine,
你只会用在魔术里？ you would be presenting it merely as illusion?
如果观众相信我的舞台表演 Well, if people actually believed the things I did on stage,
他们就不鼓掌而是尖叫了 they wouldn't clap, they'd scream.
想象看到半个女人的身体 Think of sawing a woman in half.
你有没有考虑过这机器的代价？ Have you considered the cost of this?

科特说下个预约签到前 我能住下 你在做什么？ Cutter said it'd be all right till we get another booking. What are you doing?

我妻子的命抵他两根手指？ My wife for a couple of his fingers?
他现在有家有事业 He has a family now and he's performing again.

是魔术 It's magic.
他有了新魔术 He had a new trick.
好看吗？ Was it good?
是我看到最好的魔术 It was the greatest magic trick I've ever seen.
他们看到时鼓掌了没？ Did they applaud when you saw it?
太简单明了了 观众根本没时间看清楚 It was too good. It was too simple. The audience hardly had time to see it.
他是个失败的魔术师 他是个神奇的魔术师 He's a dreadful magician. A wonderful magician.
他是个失败的艺人 He's a dreadful showman. He doesn't dress it up,
上台都不打扮 他怎么做到的？ how to sell it. How does he do it?
他用了替身 不 那太简单了 He uses a double. No, it's too simple.
这是个复杂的魔术 This is a complex illusion.
你是不知道那办法才这么说的 You say that because you don't know the method.
出来的是替身 就是这样 It's a double that comes out. It's the only way.
我见他表演了三次 隐循出来的是同一个人 I've seen him perform it three times. The prestige is the same man.
不 不是的 出来的是同一个人 No, it's not. The same man comes out of the cabinet.
是同一个人 It's the same man.
他也戴填充手套来藏他残疾的手 He wears padded gloves to hide his damaged fingers,
仔细看就看出来了 but, if you look closely, you can tell.
他不知道如何演绎这魔术 但我知道 He doesn't know how to sell it to an audience, but I do.
我们可以用这个做主打 Yeah, we could use it as a climax to the show.
是的 Yes.
那人抢走了我的生活 我就抢走他的魔术 The man stole my life, I'm gonna steal his trick.
我们得给你找个替身 We got to find someone who looks like you.
他不用替身 罗伯特 我不知道波顿怎么办到的 He doesn't use a double. I don't know how Borden does it.
要么你等他退休 买下版权 Either... You either wait for him to retire and buy the secret,
不然就按我说的做 or you listen to how I would do it.
我知道的办法 And the only way that I know how to do it
就是给你找个像样的替身 is to find you a bloody good double.
好吧 All right.
那看仔细了 我们去找另一个我 Take a good look. Let's get out there and find me.
看 看 Look, look.
这是什么？ What's that?
这是给你的 做什么？ It's for you. What's this for?

但你不会… 塞拉… But you won't ever... Sarah,
我会改变主意的 是不是？ I'm gonna have to change my mind, aren't I?
表演很成功 很快我们就会有大剧院的预约 日子会好起来的 The act is taking off. Soon we'll be in a bigger theater, things will work out.
真不敢相信 谢谢 太漂亮了 I can't believe it. Thank you. Thank you. It's beautiful.
杰瑞？ 亲爱的 看看你 Gerry? Darling, look at you.
科特先生 安吉尔先生 这位是杰拉德·鲁特 Mr. Cutter, Mr. Angier, I'd like you to meet Gerald Root.
幸会 很高兴见到你们 A pleasure. Pleasure to meet you fine gentlemen.
想听歌笑话吗？过来 Would you like for me to tell you a little joke? Come here.
好笑吗？ Yes. Are you laughing now?
我要去尿尿 I have to take a piss.
他是个疯子 当然 他是个失业的演员 He's out of his mind. Of course, he's an out-of-work actor.
选他没错 只需要一点修整 He's perfect. He needs a little help.
之后 他就是你的弟弟了 But when I get done with him, he could be your brother.
我不要他变成我的弟弟 我要他变成我 I don't need him to be my brother, I need him to be me.
给我一个月 Give me a month.
你打开门… So you open the door...
然后… ...and...
来 Come on.
就不能找个软一点的？ Couldn't you have found a softer one?
反正这不是用来睡觉的 Well, it's not for sleeping on.
那如果你从这里落下… So, if you come down through there...
鲁特从哪里上去？ 是的 ...does Root go up through there? Yep.
表演会让人叹为观止 It's going to be amazing.
必须会 波顿的魔术已经引人注意了 Well, it has to be. Borders trick is getting noticed.
今天这里满座 The place was packed today.
你又去看他的表演了？ You went and saw his show again.
准备好见自己了吗 安吉尔先生 Ready to meet yourself, Mr. Angier?
看来我也得把自己灌醉 All I have to do is keep myself stinking drunk,
不然谁看不出来我们的区别 and no one will be able to tell the difference.
乐观点 先生 Have a little faith, sir.
那能不能开始表演了 鲁特先生？ Now, would you favor us with a performance, Mr. Root?
如果你和我一样看破这世道 你也会跟着一起喝 You'd drink, too, if you knew the world half as well as I do.
你以为自己很特别吗 安吉尔先生？ Did you think you were unique?
我演过凯撒 演过浮士德 I've been Caesar, I've played Faust.
演伟大的丹东又有何难？ How difficult could it possibly be to play the Great Danton?
那你可以回去做你的酒鬼了 鲁特 You can go back to being yourself now, Root, for nothing.
我现在宁愿做他 I'd rather be him for now.
觉得…挺有意思的 I find it, uh... amusing.
“陛下 "My liege,
《亨利四世》台词
我是否认没有犯人” I did deny no prisoners."
你看上去很体面 哦 谢谢 You look wonderful. Oh, thank you.
鲁特必须保持低调 被人发现就穿帮了 Root has to keep a low profile. Anyone sees him, the game's up.
我不知道你是怎么办到的 我也不太想知道 I don't know how you do things. I'm not sure I wanna know.
想过给这魔术起什么名字吗？ Have you thought what we should call it?
不用假惺惺了 就用波顿起的“移形换影” There's no point being coy. Borden calls his trick The Transported Man.
女士们 先生们 目前你们看到的表演 Ladies and gentlemen, much of what you've seen may be termed
被称为幻像或者好笑的戏法 as illusions or entertaining trifles.
但是… Alas...
接下来的表演就不是幻像 ...I cannot claim this next feat as illusion.
瞧仔细了 Watch carefully.
这里没有欺骗 You will see no trickery,
没有任何不妥的地方 for no trickery is employed.
远东的部分居民 Merely a technique familiar to certain citizens of the Orient
和喜马拉雅山的教徒熟悉这手法 and various holy men of the Himalayas.
或许在座不少人也会知道 Indeed, many of you may be familiar with this technique,
但不熟悉的人 请不用害怕 but for those of you who are not, do not be alarmed.
你将要看到的是绝对安全的 What you're about to see is considered safe.
祝贺演出成功 To our achievement.
经理人说他从没见过这样的现场反应 The manager says he's never seen a reaction like it.
至少他看到了 我在大家鼓掌时藏在了舞台底下 At least he saw it. I spent the ovation hiding under the stage.
没人关心消失的那个人 那个盒子里的人 No one cares about the man who disappears.
他们关心的是谁出来了 They care about the one who comes out.
我关心盒子里的人 I care about the man in the box.
谢谢 也许我们可以在变魔术前换一下 Thank you. I don't know, maybe we could switch before the trick.
把我变出来 鲁特藏在舞台底下 I'm the prestige, and Root's below stage.
事先准备好才是关键 No, the anticipation of the trick is everything.
我们需要你的表演来制造悬念感 We need your showmanship to build up the suspense.
鲁特一张嘴 这魔术就完蛋了 他没法介绍这个戏法 Once Root opens his mouth, it's over. He can't introduce this trick.
我当然行 我是伟大的丹东 Of course I can. I'm the Great Danton.
鲁特 你这个笨蛋 快离开那个衣橱 去化妆 Root, you bloody fool, get out of that wardrobe and makeup.
随时可能有人走进来 Anyone could walk in here at any minute.
恭喜各位 Congratulations, all.
生活中并不总是这样的时刻 我们很努力 Life is not full of these moments. We worked hard.
我们需要适当地庆祝一下 We need to celebrate properly.
怎么了？想起你老婆了？ What's wrong? Is it your wife?
不 是魔术 还不够好 No, it's the trick. It isn't good enough.
波顿的和我们比什么都不是 他太土了 Borders trick is nothing compared to ours. He has no style.
最后一段他并不是藏在舞台底下 He doesn't spend the finale hiding under the stage.
我需要知道他是怎样办到的 为什么？ I need to know how he does it. Why?
然后我就可以做得更好 So I can do it better.
我需要你去为他工作 I need you to go and work for him.
为他工作？你开玩笑吧？ Work for him? Are you joking?
你当我的间谍 You'll be my spy.
我们才刚刚开始 你就让我离开？ We just got our start. You want me to leave?
这就是我们进步的手段 想想吧 That's how we advance. Think of it.
人们对科特的版本已经很惊奇了 People are excited by Cutter's version. Imagine what we'd do
想像一下我们掌握了真正的幻术会怎样 我们会表演人们见过的最伟大的魔术 with the real illusion. We'd have the greatest magic act anyone's ever seen.
他知道我为你工作 就因为这个他才会雇你 He knows I work for you. Exactly why he'll want to hire you.
他想知道我的秘密 他为什么会相信我？ He'll want my secret. Why would he trust me?
因为你会告诉他事实 Because you're gonna tell him the truth.
嗯？ Hmm?
好姑娘 Good girl.
你一定很想知道这么多钱会带给你什么 You must be curious to see what so much money has bought you.
和你配合将是她的处女航 Fitting you should be here for her maiden voyage.
帽子用一下 Your hat.
往后站一点 You might want to stand back.
我不明白 I don't understand.
最好让我们来处理这事 Perhaps it would be best if you left us to it.
有问题吗 特斯拉先生？ Is there a problem, Mr. Tesla?
没有 下周再来 下周？ No. Come back next week. Next week?
下周就好了 特斯拉！ Next week, it will be fine. Tesla!
只是有点不稳定 Just a little temperamental.
有趣的工作室 是的 我们搭建的 Interesting workshop. Yeah, we make do.
我叫奥莉维亚… 我知道你是谁 My name is Olivia... I know who you are.
到这来偷取我演出的秘密？ Here to steal the rest of my show?
我是来给你演出缺少的部分 To give your show what it's missing.
不错 那会是什么？ 就是我 Yeah, what might that be? Me.
我刚才还在念叨呢 I was just saying that, wasn't I?
女人的陪伴 我离开安吉尔了 A womars touch. I've left Angier.
不错 我需要一份工作 All right. I want a job.
嗯 Yeah.
我知道你没理由相信我 I know you've no reason to trust me.
我为什么不相信你？ Why wouldn't I trust you?
你是我对手唯一的女演员 我为什么不相信你？ You're only the mistress of my enemy. Why wouldn't I trust you?
波顿先生 叫我艾弗瑞 Mr. Borden. Alfred.
我要告诉你实情 I'm going to tell you the truth.
现在这就是我们这行里的不忠了吧 温斯康伯小姐？ Now that is a slippery notion in our line of work, isn't it, Miss Wenscombe?
是他派我来的 I am here because he sent me here.
他要我为你工作 偷取你的秘密 He wants me to work for you and steal your secret.
他要我的秘密干什么 他的魔术是第一流的 What does he need my secret for? His trick is topnotch.
他消失 然后很快 又出现在舞台另一边 He vanishes, and then he reappears instantly
变得闭口不言 脚步蹒跚 on the other side of the stage, mute, overweight
我没弄错的话 还醉酒的样子 and, unless I'm mistaken, very drunk.
很惊奇了 他是怎样办到的？ 告诉我 奥莉维亚 It's astonishing. How does he do it? And tell me, Olivia,
他喜欢屈身在舞台下的时候吗？ does he enjoy taking his bows under the stage?
那会杀了他的 他被你的办法唬住了 It's killing him. He's obsessed with discovering your methods.
他脑子里没别的 我们的成功也不让他高兴 He thinks of nothing else, takes no pleasure in our success.
但我受够了 And I've had enough.
和他一起没有未来 There is no future with him.
他派我偷取你的秘密 但我来给你他的秘密 He sent me here to steal your secrets, but I've come to offer you his.
这就是实情？ This is the truth... is it?
你最好赶快换好衣服 先生 Think you'd better get dressed, sir.
鲁特 你比平时更晚 更醉 赶快到楼下去 Root, you're late and more drunk than usual. Get down below stairs right away.
不 No.
我们需要谈一谈 科特先生 No, we need to have a little chat, Mr. Cutter.
我们有点麻烦 科特 波顿就在街对面演出 We have a problem. Cutter, Borden is performing right across the street.
是的 我们还有更大的麻烦 Yeah, we have a bigger problem.
鲁特 他认识到他可以开口要价 Root. He's realized that he can make demands.
什么？他敲诈我们？ Wha? He's blackmailing us?
我很奇怪 说实话 I was surprised, to tell you the truth.
通常他们要花更长时间看出来的 It usually takes them a lot longer to figure it out.
他要多少？ 多少都一样 How much does he want? It makes no difference.
我们得停止演出 停止？看看这个 We've got to stop doing the trick. Stop the trick? Look at this.
上周他们说你是伦敦第一的舞台表演家 Last week they said you were the premier stage performer in London.
不是魔术师 提醒你一下 任何类型的表演者 Not magician, mind you. Performer of any kind.
你是什么意思？ 我的意思是 你爬得太高了 What's your point? My point is, you've climbed too high
没法摆脱专业的困窘 to get away with professional embarrassment.
我们不变我们控制不了的魔术 We don't do any tricks we can't control.
这次先付给他钱 我们继续演出 直到波顿开演 Just pay him for now. We keep doing the trick until Borden opens,
然后我们再把他开掉 and then we'll phase it out.
好吧 All right.
科特总是很奇怪 Cutter was always surprised
鲁特变坏得这么快 how fast Root turned bad.
我为什么要买这杯啤酒的帐呢？ To what do I owe the pleasure of this rather welcome pint of ale?
你是伟大的丹东吧？ 嘘嘘嘘 You're the Great Danton, aren't you? Sh, sh, sh, sh, sh.
我当然是 但是别宣传 因为我会被粉丝们骚扰 Of course I am, but don't advertise it, because I'll be mobbed with fans.
我们给他足够的钱让他喝酒 We paid him enough to keep him in beers.
你不会想到他会来捣乱 You wouldn't expect him to rock the boat.
你们很多人也许对这技术很熟悉 Many of you may be familiar with this technique,
但是不熟悉的人 别被吓到 but for those of you who aren't, do not be alarmed.
你们将要看到的是相当安全的 What you're about to see is considered safe.
你是谁？ 我是个卑微的仰慕者 And who are you? I am a humble admirer
还是个同行 and a fellow practitioner.
嗯 不错 Mmm. Very good.
再来一杯？ 哦 如果你坚持的话 Another one? Oh, if you insist.
再来一杯 我今晚不演出 Another. I'm not performing tonight.
我只演出一场 但是坦白说 I'm only doing one show, but to be frank,
最近其它事都由不得我管 my people pretty much run things these days.
快上去 Get up there.
上啊！ Get up!
你的幻术 “移形换影” Your illusion, The Transported Man,
我不是说我知道你的方法 I'm not claiming to know your methods,
但是我的演出里也有类似的魔术 but I had a similar trick in my act,
嗯 我用替身 and, uh... I used a double.
嗯 原来如此 不错 曾经不错 后来不行了 Mm, I see, very good. Well, it was, and then it went bad.
我没算计到的是 What I didn't count on was that when I incorporated this bloke
当我让这家伙参加我的表演时 into my act,
他对我有绝对控制权 he had complete power over me.
你说绝对控制权？ Complete power, you say?
让别人的权力比自己还大时 小心点 Be very careful giving someone that power over you.
嗯 谢谢 Huh. Thank you. Um...
谢谢你的警告 Yes, thank you for the warning.
嗯 干杯 Hmm. Cheers.
我不能说下个表演是幻术 I cannot claim this next feat as illusion.
你们将要看到的是相当安全的 What you're about to see is considered safe.
哦！ 伟大的丹东 Oh! The Great Danton.
教授在潘太及斯剧院德首演
我抱歉 I apologize.
对于我在街对面潘太及斯剧院的舞台来说 There simply is too much magic...
这种雕虫小技不算什么 ...for my stage at The Pantages across the street.
为我的打扰道歉 Pardon my intrusion.
别为难那个可怜的家伙 他确实已经尽力了 And go easy on the poor chap. He does try so very hard.
我不知道波顿怎样找到他的 I don't know how Borden found him.
他把他藏起来 我已经很小心了 Kept him under wraps. I was careful.
他确实办到了 Yeah, well, he did.
你认为是她告密吗？ Do you think it was her?
你在等我吗？ You werert expecting me?
你早该到了 你的口信说是下午 I expected you sooner. Your message said afternoon.
这些天走动有些困难 It takes a bit for me to get around these days.
他夺走了我的一切 我的妻子 我的事业 He's taken everything from me. My wife, my career,
现在是你 你派我去的 now you. You sent me.
我派你去是偷取他的秘密 不是去巩固他的演出 I sent you to steal his secret, not to improve his act.
这是我的工作 不是去恋爱！ It's my job. Or fall in love!
我做了你要求的一切！ 是吗？是吗？ I did everything you asked! Yes? Yes?
他怎样办到的？ 科特是对的 他用替身 How does he do it? Cutter was right, a double.
他当然会这么说 他没说过 'Course he said that. He didn't say it.
我看到好多东西 化妆品 眼镜 假发 我们没用在演出里 I've seen things, makeup, glasses, wigs. We don't use for the show.
我看见藏在后台 误导 I've seen it hidden backstage. Misdirection.
他把东西放那好让你这样以为 He leaves them lying around to make you think that.
他不知道我在看 He doesn't know when I'm looking.
一直知道 奥莉维亚！那才是他！ All the time, Olivia! That's who he is!
那是他的本事！ That's what it takes!
他在进行他的表演 你没看到？ He lives his act, don't you see?
和他睡觉不意味着他信任你 Just because you're sleeping with him doesn't mean he trusts you.
你以为知道全部事情？ You think you can see everything, don't you?
伟大的丹东是个瞎眼的傻瓜 The Great Danton is a blind fool.
他的笔记本 His notebook.
你偷来的？ You stole it?
我借来今晚一用 I borrowed it for tonight.
我想你能把它解释一下… I thought you could translate some of it...
我办不到 也许没人行 是文字组合 I can't. No one can. It's a cipher.
即使知道了密码 也需要数月解码 Even with the keyword, it will take months to decode.
没有密码呢？ 可能永远解不开了 And without the keyword? Perhaps never.
我们看吧 不行 We'll see. We will not see.
如果我今天不还回去 他会知道是我拿了 If I don't get that back by tomorrow he'll know I took it.
离开他 不行 他知道我住在哪 Leave him. I can't. He knows where I live.
这是他的日记 奥莉维亚 他所有秘密都在我手上 This is his diary, Olivia. All of his secrets are right here in my hands.
它不会带回来你的妻子 It won't bring your wife back.
我不关心我老婆 我只关心他的秘密 I don't care about my wife. I care about his secret.
听着 我… Look, I'll, um...
我会闯入他的工作室和舞台 I'll go to his workshop and stage a break-in.
他会知道是你拿了 是的 是我 不是你 He'll know you took it. Yes, me. Not you.
明白？ Understand?
罗伯特 Robert.
我爱上他了 I have fallen in love with him.
所以我知道这对你有多难 Then I know how hard this has been for you.
笔记本呢？ Notebook?
那他肯定已经开始了 Then he's just getting started.
潘太及斯剧院
教授！ Professor!
晚上好 Good evening.
我今晚走着回去 I'm walking tonight.
让他来 无所谓 Let him come. I don't care.
教授！教授！ Professor! Professor!
你没事吧？ 我还活着 You all right? I'm alive.
省得我给你凿个气孔 Saves me cutting you an air hole.
我很惊讶 此话怎讲？ I'm impressed. Why is that?
你终于肯下毒手了 You're finally getting your hands dirty.
这就是高超魔术的代价 安吉尔 It's what a good trick costs, Angier.
冒险 牺牲 Risk, sacrifice.
牺牲 恐怕是属于你的 The sacrifice, I'm afraid, is all gonna be yours,
除非你给我我想要的 unless you give me what I want.
要什么？ 你的秘密 Which is? Your secret.
我的秘密？ My secret?
你进行“移形换影”的办法 Your method for The Transported Man.
佛伦不告诉我 他一言不发 Fallon wouldn't tell me. He doesn't talk at all.
你拿着我的笔记本 没有关键词就毫无用处 You have my notebook. Useless without the keyword.
把你的方法写下来 波顿先生 详细点 Write down your method, Mr. Borden, describe it in full.
我要整个方法 不是关键词 I want the whole method, not the keyword.
我甚至不知道你的秘密 在没在你的笔记本里 I don't know if your secret's in your notebook.
关键词就是那个方法 The keyword is the method.
我的工程师呢？ Where's my ingenieur?
还活着？ 看你挖得有多快了 Alive? How fast can you dig?
佛伦 听得见吗？佛伦！ Fallon, you hear me? Fallon!
你的胳膊怎么样了？ 还连着呢 How's the arm? Still attached.
找到答案了吗？ Did you find your answer?
我们的答案 科特 我还没看呢 我想和你一起看看 Our answer, Cutter. I haven't looked yet. I wanted you to share this.
我已经知道他是怎样做的了 罗伯特 I already know how he does it, Robert.
和他通常的方法一样 也和我们的方法一样 Same way he always has, the same way as we do.
只是你想要更多的 It's just that you want something more.
我们还是看看吧 Well, let's find out then, shall we?
什么意思？ What does it mean?
科特 有一段旅程在我们面前 It means, Cutter, we have a journey ahead of us.
到美国去 罗伯特？ To America. Robert?
听我说 Listen to me.
执着是年轻人的游戏 Obsession is a young mars game.
拜托 Come on.
我不能再跟着你进行下去了 I can't follow you any further in it.
我做不到 抱歉 I can't, I'm sorry.
那剩下的就靠我了 Then the rest is up to me.
对不起 I'm sorry.
晚上好 亲爱的 Good evening. Hello, darling.
香槟 你们最好的 Champagne, your finest.
我不知道我们会一起吃饭 I didn't know we were going to be joined for dinner.
当然 我们要庆祝一下 Absolutely, we are celebrating.
温斯克姆小姐 佛伦先生 Miss Wenscombe, Mr. Fallon.
庆祝什么？ 我们偶然发现了一个新的魔术 What are we celebrating? We've hit upon a new trick.
是吗？ 什么魔术 费迪？ Haven't we? What trick, Freddie?
是啊 费迪 什么魔术？ Yes, Freddie, what trick?
我会在每个夜晚把自己活埋 I am going to bury myself alive every night,
然后有人来把我挖出来 很好 and then someone will come along and dig me up. Wonderful.
我想他已经喝得够多了… 不 倒上香槟 I think he's had quite enough... No, pour the champagne.
倒上…赛拉 别那样和我说话 我不是个小P孩 Pour the... Sarah, don't talk to me like that. I'm not a bloody child.
也许最好… 佛伦先生 送她回家 Perhaps it would be better... Mr. Fallon, escort her home.
我丈夫正在让人心烦 哦 拜托 My husband's being a bore. Oh, please.
我看你没理由受这份罪 别毁了这个夜晚 I see no reason you should suffer. Don't ruin this evening.
晚安 波顿太太 晚安 费迪 Good night, Mrs. Borden. Good night, Freddie.
费迪？ 我就叫费迪 Freddie? That's my name.
这不是家里 我不是总在家 是吧？ Not at home. I'm not always at home, am I?
你能不能至少把胡子摘下来？ Couldn't you have at least taken off the beard?
赛拉 我刚刚从那该死的剧院赶来 Sarah, I just came from the bloody theater just now.
我不是在公众场合 其余每个人都喜欢的 All right? I'm out in public. Everybody else loves it.
你为什么要这样？ Why are you being like this?
我今天可是受到了严峻的考验 I had a terrible ordeal today.
我认为我失去了… I thought that something very precious...
非常宝贵的东西 ...had been lost to me.
我刚才只是想稍微庆祝一下 So I just wanted to celebrate just a little.
好吧 你失去了什么？ All right, what? What did you lose?
我知道了 更多的秘密 I see, more secrets.
赛拉 秘密就是我的生活 Sarah, secrets are my life.
我们的生活 不 艾佛瑞 别说了 你不是这样的 Our life. No, Alfred, stop, this isn't you.
别再演戏了 Stop performing.
我还以为自己是唯一的客人 I thought I had the place to myself.
不速之客 不怎么礼貌 Unexpected guests, not very polite.
有很多的问题 A lot of questions.
首先 我认为他们为政府工作 At first, I thought they worked for the government.
难道不是？ 更糟糕 他们为托马斯·爱迪生工作 No? Worse, they work for Thomas Edison.
今天 最意想不到的事发生了 Today, a most curious development.
他的助手带着提议来了 His assistant came to us with a proposition.
很明显 安吉尔派她来的 并且让她承认这些 Obviously, Angier has sent her and told her to admit as much.
她喜欢猫腰躲在舞台下吗？ Does he enjoy taking his bows under the stage?
他派我来偷取你的秘密 但我要给你他的秘密 He sent me here to steal your secrets, but I've come to offer you his.
这是实情… This is the truth...
是吗？ ...is it?
不 这是他让我和你说的 No, that's what he told me to tell you. The truth...
实情是我爱他 支持他 他却派我到你这来 ...is that I loved him and I stood by him and he sent me to you,
就好像他让一个 后台工作人员拾起他的衬衣 like he would send a stagehand to pick up his shirts.
我为这件事而恨他 I hate him for that.
我可以从后台看到安吉尔的方法 I could spot Angier's methods from the back of the theater.
那么你还可能给我什么？ So, what could you possibly have to offer me?
你可能了解他的魔术 You may know his tricks,
但是你不明白 为什么没人看到你的更好 but you can't understand why no one sees yours are better.
你把这个藏起来 我必须靠得非常近 You hide this. I had to look very closely
才能在“移形换影”进行时看清楚 to spot it during The Transported Man,
但是这个让你独一无二 but this makes you unique.
他说明你没用替身 It shows you aren't using a double.
你不能把它藏起来 你必须骄傲地把它展示出来 You mustrt hide it. You must display it proudly.
我肯定只用一只好手表演 幻术需要很高的技巧 I'm sure it takes great skill to perform illusions with one good hand.
是的 Yeah, it does.
那么就让大家知道 So let people know.
你能比他更红的 我来告诉你怎么办 You can be so much more than he is and I can show you how.
我看她说的是实情 I think she's telling the truth.
我看我们不能相信她 I think we cannot trust her.
但我爱她 需要她 But I love her. I need her.
要把自己投入这样一份关系 To open myself to such a relationship,
把自己投入到这样的外遇的危险境地 to the dangers of such an affair,
我需要确认她的忠诚 她的爱 I need assurances of fidelity, of love.
但是怎样确认呢？ But how to be sure?
我知道一个办法 这是唯一了解她心思的办法 I know a way. It's the only way to know her mind.
他怎么会打发你走？ How could he send you away?
她必须帮助我让我们摆脱安吉尔 She must help me rid ourselves of Angier.
今天 我的情人证明了她的真诚 Today, my mistress proves her truthfulness.
不是对我 你明白 Not to me, you understand.
自从她介绍我认识鲁特 我就相信她了 I've been convinced since she led me to Root.
今天 奥莉维亚证明了对我的爱 Today, Olivia proves her love for me
向你证明的 安吉尔 to you, Angier.
是的 安吉尔 她在我授意下 给你这本笔记本 Yes, Angier, she gave you this notebook at my request.
是的 “特斯拉”只是我日记的关键词 And yes, "Tesla" is merely the key to my dairy,
而不是我魔术的 你真以为在经历了这么多之后 not to my trick. You really think I'd part
我会那么容易地让我的秘密离开我？ with my secret so easily after so much?
再见 安吉尔 Goodbye, Angier.
愿你在美国老家 May you find solace for your forward ambition
给你的雄心壮志找点安慰 back in your American home.
特斯拉！ Tesla!
特斯拉！阿里！ Tesla! Alley!
阿里！ Alley!
特斯拉从没制造出我要求的机器 Tesla never made a machine like the one I asked for.
我没说他做出来了 你让我相信了他做出来 I never said he had. You let me believe that he had.
你们偷我的钱因为你们的资金来源断了 You stole my money because your funding was cut off.
你们在我帽子上放出火花来 You've been shooting sparks in my top hat,
自始至终嘲笑我 用我的钱逃避破产 laughing at me all along, while using my money to stave off ruin.
我看见爱迪生的人了 在哪？ I have seen Edisors men. Where?
在旅馆 我有带他们到这来的想法 In the hotel, I have a mind to bring them up here.
那可不明智 安吉尔先生 That would be unwise, Mr. Angier.
确实你是我们仅存的财政来源 It is true that you are our last remaining financier,
但是我们没偷你的钱 but we have not stolen your money.
这是我的猫 This is my cat.
我告诉你我能给你造一台机器时 我说的是实话 When I told you I could make you a machine, I spoke a truth.
为什么它不好使？ Why isn't it working?
因为精密科学 安吉尔先生 Because exact science, Mr. Angier,
不是严格的科学 is not an exact science.
这机器就是不按预期的工作 The machine simply does not operate as expected.
还需要更多测试 那我的帽子到哪去了？ It requires further examination. So where did my top hat go?
哪也没去 Nowhere.
我们试了好多次 We tried the damn thing a dozen times.
这帽子哪也没去 The hat went nowhere.
我们需要试试其他的物质 We need to try different material.
也许会有不同的结果 It may provoke a different result.
老天 Great.
你要为这动物身上发生的事情负全责 You are responsible for whatever happens to this animal, doctor.
我希望你用我的钱做的事情 I hope whatever you were really doing with my money
物有所值 特斯拉先生 was more won'thwhile, Mr. Tesla.
阿里！ Alley!
那么这机器工作了？ So the machine was working?
我从没检查尺寸 因为那帽子从没动过 I never checked the calibration,'cause the hat never moved.
这些东西从没按你希望的那样工作过 These things never quite work as you expect them to.
这是科学主要的动人之处之一 That's one of the principal beauties of science.
我需要两周消除这机器的问题 I'll need a couple of weeks to iron out the problems with the machine.
好了之后我们会通知你 We'll send word when it's ready.
别忘了您的帽子 Don't forget your hat.
哪一顶是我的？ 都是您的 安吉尔先生 Well, which one is mine? They are all your hats.
你穿这新裙子很漂亮 You look so pretty in this new dress of yours.
我们去动物园吗？ 不 爸爸有点事 Are we going to the zoo? No, Daddy has some errands to run.
但你但你答应过 我答应过 是吗？ But you promised. I promised, did I?
那我们就去动物园 Then go to the zoo, we shall.
爸爸先去办点事 你知道前就回来 Daddy will go run his errands, and I'll be back before you know it.
你先去准备好 我们去看黑猩猩 So you go get ready. We'll go see those chimpanzees.
赛拉…你在干什么？ Sarah... what are you doing?
我们都有坏毛病 Each of us have our vices.
赛拉 随便你怎么想… Sarah, whatever you may think...
关于我的爱你唯一的竞争对手 是我们的小女儿 ...your only competition for my affections is our little girl.
我爱你 永远爱你 I love you. I will always love you
只爱你一个 and you alone.
你今天是真心的 绝对是 You mean it today. Absolutely.
你不是真心的时候 才更让人难受 Which makes it so much harder when you don't.
买了更多的东西 她确实喜欢金钱的味道 More shopping. She does love the smell of money.
小姑娘想要去动物园 所以我想你可以带她去 是吧 The little lady wants to go to the zoo, so I thought you could take her, yeah?
我是说 如果不行的话明天我带她去 I mean, I can do it tomorrow, if not.
还有 嗯 赛拉 And, uh... Sarah,
她知道了 she knows.
至少她知道有些事情不大对 Uh, at least she knows that something is not right,
所以要是你能尽你所能帮助我… so if you can just do whatever you can to help me.
和她谈谈 让她确认我爱她 Talk to her, just convince her that I do love her.
怎么了 费迪？ What is it, Freddie?
听着 拜托不要那样称呼我 Listen, don't call me that, please.
没什么 只是有些事情不大对 It's nothing. It's just that sometimes it seems wrong.
我告诉你了 你和我在一起时 就和我在一起 I told you, when you're with me, you're with me.
把你家里事留在家里 Leave your family at home where they belong.
我在尽力 我在尽力 奥莉维亚 I'm trying. I'm trying, Olivia.
我去换衣服 嗯 I'll get dressed. Yeah.
我又看见佛伦在这附近遛达 I saw Fallon hanging around again.
我不大信任那个人 There's something about that man I don't trust.
你信任我吗？那就信任佛伦 You trust me? Then trust Fallon.
他保护着我关心的东西 He protects the things that I care about.
我们很遗憾您要走了 安吉尔先生 We're sorry to see you go, Mr. Angier.
我们也很遗憾特斯拉先生也要走了 We were sorry to see Mr. Tesla leave, as well.
他对科罗拉多泉很好 He's very good to Colorado Springs.
安吉尔先生 Mr. Angier,
我看没必要告诉爱迪生的人盒子的事情 I didn't think it was necessary to tell Edisors men about the box.
什么盒子？ What box?
我为不辞而别道歉 I apologize for leaving without saying goodbye.
但我似乎在科罗拉多不受欢迎了 But I seem to have outstayed my welcome in Colorado.
真正神奇的事情在科学界和工业界 是不被允许的 The truly extraordinary is not permitted in science and industry.
也许你会在你的领域多找到点运气 Perhaps you'll find more luck in your field,
在那里人们喜欢被迷惑住 where people are happy to be mystified.
你会在这盒子里找到你想要的东西 You will find what you are looking for in this box.
阿里给你写了一份十分详细的说明 Alley has written you a thorough set of instructions.
对使用这机器我只加一条建议 I add only one suggestion on using the machine.
毁了它 Destroy it.
把它扔到大海最深处 Drop it to the bottom of the deepest ocean.
这样的东西只会给你带来痛苦 Such a thing will bring you only misery.
特斯拉的警告就像他预料的那样被忽视了 Tesla's warning is as uneeded as he knew it would be.
今天我测试了那台机器 Today I tested the machine. Taking precautions in case
预防特斯拉没有改进操作上的缺陷 Tesla hadrt ironed out the kinks in its operation.
但如果出了差错 But if it went wrong,
我就不想在那种情况下活太久了 I would not want to live like that for long.
但到了这一页 我必须离开你了 波顿 But here at the turn, I must leave you, Borden.
是的 你 波顿 Yes, you, Borden,
坐在你的牢里 sitting there in your cell,
读者我的日记 等待死亡 reading my diary, awaiting your death,
谋杀我带给你的死亡 for my murder.
安吉尔的日记 那所谓的诚意 是假的 Angier's journal, that gesture of good faith, that's a fake.
我向你保证 不是假的 I assure you, it's not.
日记的来源清白而且确信无疑 The provenance of the journal is clear and under no doubt.
是安吉尔的笔迹 我们有很多例子 And it's written in Angier's own hand, for which we have numerous examples.
算了 It don't matter.
这是我的魔术 So my tricks.
全部的 包括“移形换影”？ All of them. Including The Transported Man?
卡尔多罗勋爵会很高兴的 不 他不会的 Lord Caldlow will be very pleased. No, he won't.
这些还不完整 They're not complete.
这只有“验证”和“转变”部分 It's just the pledge and the turn for each.
这些戏法没有“隐遁” 它们毫无价值 Without the prestige for these tricks, these are won'thless.
是 Yeah.
你把我女儿带来就能得到剩下的 You get the rest of it... when you bring my daughter here.
我想和她道别 I want to say goodbye.
我们得解决这件事 We have to go through it now. We have to go through it now.
听我说 拒绝你想要的 Now, listen to me, deny it all you want.
奥莉维亚什么都不是 Olivia means nothing.
奥莉维亚？ 我需要个助手 Olivia? I need an assistant.
我去找她 告诉她 告诉她什么？ I'll go to her, I'll tell her. You'll tell her what?
我知道你们的真面目 艾佛瑞 I know what you really are, Alfred.
我知道 赛拉 赛拉 赛拉 I know. Sarah, Sarah, Sarah.
我不能再隐瞒了 你不能说出去 I can't keep it in. You can't talk like this.
不 不 赛拉 闭嘴！赛拉 闭嘴！ No. No. Sarah, shut up! Sarah, shut up!
我不想再听了 你不能说出去 I don't want to hear it anymore. You can't talk like this.
你不能再隐藏了 因为我知道 艾弗瑞 我知道 You can't hide it anymore, because I know, Alfred, I know.
我知道你们的真面目 艾佛瑞 I know what you really are, Alfred.
我不能再这样过了 I can't live like this.
哦 你以为我能这样过？ Oh, well, you think I can live like this?
你以为我喜欢这样过？ You think I bloody enjoy living like this?
我们有这漂亮的房子 可爱的小女儿 我们结婚了 We have this beautiful house, lovely little girl, we're married.
你的生活有什么不对的？ What is so wrong with your life?
艾佛瑞 我不能再这样过了 Alfred, I can't live like this!
你想从我这得到什么？ Well, what do you want from me?
我… I... I want...
我要你对我诚实 I want you to be... honest with me.
没有魔术 No tricks.
没有谎言 No lies.
没有秘密 And no secrets.
你…你爱我吗？ Do you... do you love me?
今天不爱 Not today.
不爱 No.
谁在那？ Who's there?
我来找一位老朋友 I'm looking for an old friend.
我听说有一个预约 还有漂亮的小剧院 I heard about a booking, nice little theater,
年轻有为的魔术师 你回来了 good up-and-coming magician. You're back.
很高兴见到你 约翰 It's good to see you, John.
不错的排练场所 Good rehearsal space.
失明的后台人员 我喜欢 Blind stagehands, I like it.
你对公开宣传总有好眼力 You always had a good eye for publicity.
我需要你的帮助 约翰 I need your help, John.
这是我最后的演出 限量的 It's my last show. A limited engagement.
最后的演出？ Your last show?
一个聪明人曾告诉我 迷惑是年轻人的游戏 A wise man once told me obsession was a young mars game.
快完成了 只剩下一件事 I'm almost done. There's one thing left.
“真·移形换影” The Real Transported Man.
你想在这方面做文章？ You want to design a show around it?
我不要你在后台 我要你在前面指导 I don't want you backstage I need you in front managing.
用你剩余的人气和关系 Call in any favors or connections you have left
找到合适的预约 to get us the right booking.
你想要什么样的？ What sort of booking you after?
波顿不能忽视的那种 The sort that Borden can't ignore.
我很荣幸再次见到您 先生 Oh, what an honor it is to see you again, sir.
你说你只想展示一个激起我兴趣的魔术 You told me you only wanted to show me one trick that'd pique my interest.
是很聪明的魔术 很高兴见到您 艾克曼先生 It's a very clever trick. Pleased to meet you, Mr. Ackerman.
我也是 我们开始吧 Likewise, I'm sure. Let's get on, shall we?
先生 把它打开 Turn it on, gentlemen.
不错 Very pretty.
就这样 科特？ 他就这么消失了？ That's it, Cutter? He simply disappears?
这不是魔术 他必须得回来 That's not a trick. He has to come back.
必须有… “隐遁”？ There has to be a... A prestige?
正是 Exactly.
我的天 Pardon me.
很难见到… It's very rare to see...
真正魔法 ...real magic.
这么多年来… It's been many years since...
你想不想帮我们？ Are you interested in helping us?
是的 但是你们得包装一下 Yes... but you'll have to dress it up a little.
弄个伪装 Disguise it.
给他们足够的理由去怀疑 Give them enough reason to doubt it.
你从没提过她 费迪 一次也没有 You haven't spoken about her, Freddie, not once.
我为什么要和你提起她呢？ Why would I talk about her to you, hm?
因为她曾是你生活的一部分 现在她离开你了 Because she was a part of your life and now she's gone.
她自杀前一天曾说想见我 You know, the day before she killed herself she said she wanted to meet me.
她想和我说说你的事 That she had something to tell me about you.
我真是个懦夫 我不敢面对她 I was such a coward, I couldn't bring myself to face her.
但… But...
她会说什么呢？ ...what would she have said?
你想知道实情？ You want to know the truth about me?
事实是… The truth is that...
我从没爱过赛拉 ...I never loved Sarah.
我从没爱过她 I never loved her.
你娶了她 还和她生了孩子 You married her, you had a child with her.
是的 那只是我的一部分… Yes. Part of me. Part of me did, but...
但是 另一部分却没有 ...the other part didn't.
那一部分发现了你 那一部分现在就坐在这 The part that found you, the part that's sitting here right now.
我爱你 不 奥莉维亚 我爱你 I love you. No, Olivia, I love you.
这就是实情 That's the truth.
这才是重要的实情 That is the truth that matters.
你现在也可能在别的餐厅 和别的女人在一起 You could be in some other restaurant with some other woman right now,
像这样说着我的事情 talking about me that way.
不 是的 No. Yes.
你这样冷漠太残忍了 It's inuman to be so cold.
他回来了 He's back.
两年之后 他得到了新的魔术 After two years, he's got a new trick.
他们说这是伦敦见过的最厉害的 They're saying it's the best Londors ever seen.
你得看看你脸上的表情 教授 You should see the look on your face, Professor.
你得去找他 You should go to him.
你俩挺般配 You two deserve each other.

现在可以离开了 should leave now.
当我告诉你们教我此幻术的女士 When I tell you the lady who taught me this illusion
在演出中出了意外 actually died performing it,
你们就会明白其中危险性 you'll understand the seriousness of the dangers involved.
我们开始吧 Let's begin.
在我的旅途中 我见到了未来 In my travels, I have seen the future.
非常奇怪的未来 And it is a strange future, indeed.
那个世界 女士们先生们 The world, ladies and gentlemen,
充满崭新的却又可怕的可能性 is on the brink of new and terrifying possibilities.
你们将要见证的不是魔法 What you're about to witness is not magic.
而是纯粹的科学 It's purely science.
我想请你们到舞台上来 I'd like to invite you to come up on stage now
这样你们就能亲自检查一下这机器 so that you can examine the machine for yourselves.
人类成功的 Mars reach
超越了想像 exceeds his imagination.
太棒了！ Bravo!
100场 为什么？ One hundred performances. Why?
他的表演里有指名100场吗？ Does his method dictate that?
还是群众提议要演100场？ Is it a publicity move? What is it?
他是个没本事的魔术师 He's a no-talent magician, and they call him
而他们称他为英格兰最棒的 为什么？ the bloody best in England. Why?
一秒钟移动50码！一秒钟！ Fifty yards in a second! In a second!
我们只知道他用了个活门 And all that we know is he uses a trap door.
聪明！但舞台下面是什么 嗯？ Brilliant! What is going on under that stage? Huh?!
你怎么就想不出更棒的？ Why can't you out-think him?
他们每晚表演后都做这个 是吗？ They do this every night, after each performance. Yeah?
只演100场 伟大的丹东 真·移形换影 Huh.
这事到此为止 We're done.
好吗？ All right?

我不需要他的秘密 I don't need his secret.
所以… So...

我们都…别管他 Both of us... just leave him alone.
到此为止 We're done.
我说过了 约翰 I told you, John.
这次我不要你在后台 I don't want you backstage on this one.
我想请你们到台上来 I would like to invite you onstage now
所以你们能亲自检查这机器 so that you can examine the machine for yourselves.

那是谁？ Who was that?
嘿！该死的钥匙在哪？ Hey! Where's the bloody key?!
该死的钥匙在哪？ Where's the bloody key?!
该死的钥匙在哪？ 他快被淹死了！ Where's the bloody key?! He's bloody drowning!
挺住！ Hold on!
你做了什么？ What have you done?
艾佛瑞·波顿 你谋杀罗伯特·安吉尔的罪名成立 Alfred Borden, you have been found guilty of the murder of Robert Angier.
你将被处以绞刑 You will be hanged by the neck until dead.
愿上帝宽恕你的灵魂 May the Lord have mercy on your soul.
科特先生？ Mr. Cutter?
我是欧文斯 Owens.
感谢你的到来 欧文斯先生 Oh, thank you for coming, Mr. Owens.
处理安吉尔先生的装置的任务交给了我 It has fallen to me to dispose of Mr. Angier's equipment.
但我注意到这份清单 But I notice from this manifest
卡尔多罗勋爵买了大多数东西 that Lord Caldlow has purchased the bulk of the items.
科特先生 如果您想知道这些道具的去处… Mr. Cutter, if you need to know where to deliver these items...
不 只是有一件… No, it's just there is one particular item,
实际上 就是这一件 this item, in fact,
我想… 您想… I would like to... You would like to...
买下来 ...buy.
您自己买？ 是的 Buy yourself? Yeah, I suppose so.
这就是那机器 是的 This is the machine? Yes.
恐怕卡尔多罗勋爵 Well, I'm afraid Lord Caldlow was adamant
坚持要将这一件买下来 about purchasing this particular item.
我能和卡尔多罗勋爵亲自谈谈吗？ Do you think I could talk to Lord Caldlow in person?
恐怕不可能 Out of the question, I'm afraid.
当然 Of course,
我估计在你运送的过程中 I suppose if, in the course of your delivery arrangements,
碰巧路过的话 我没法阻止你说出自己的想法 your paths were to cross, I can't stop you speaking your mind.
谢谢 Thank you.
还在这 波顿？ 暂时是 Still here, Borden? For now.
你有个来访者 是卡尔多罗勋爵 You got a visitor. Lord Caldlow.
带着个小女孩 With a little girl.
杰西？ Jess?
嘿 小宝贝 Hello, my love.
你好吗？我太想你了 How are you? I've missed you so much.
佛伦也很想你 Fallors missed you too. We both have.
爸爸 我能进去吗？ Daddy, can I come in there?
现在不行 现在不行 亲爱的 Not right now. Not right now, darling.
但是一切都会好起来的 No, but everything is gonna be all right.
你就是卡尔多罗勋爵？ You must be Lord Caldlow?
卡尔多罗 是的 我一直都是 Caldlow. Yes, I am. I always have been.
他们用这些铁链拴住你 They flatter you with all those chains.
他们就不知道没有橡皮球 你不可能逃走？ Don't they know you can't escape without your rubber ball?
我把你从水箱里拉了出来 I pulled you out... out of that tank.
我想做的只是证明我是更好的魔术师 All I wanted to do was prove that I was a better magician.
但你就是和我过不去 But you couldn't leave me alone.
我不知道你做了什么 I don't know what you've done.
但你已经不怕对别人下毒手了 是吧？ But you're not afraid to get your hands dirty anymore, are you?
不再怕了 而且我赢了 No, not anymore. And I win.
没人会关心盒子里那个人 那个消失的人 No one cares about the man in the box, the man who disappears.
你赢了？ You win?
不会再有该死的竞赛了 这是我小女儿的生活 This ain't a bloody competition anymore. This is my little girl's life.
你休想把她放在我们中间 And don't you dare put her in the middle of this.
哦 我知道把对你重要的人 Oh, I know how hard it is to have someone so special
从你身边带走是多么困难了 波顿 taken away from you, don't I, Borden?
你现在不能把她带走吧？ And you can't take it with you, now, can you?
她会被好好照顾的 Oh, she'll be looked after.
再见 教授 来吧 亲爱的 Goodbye, Professor. Come on, darling.
不 不 不 不 停下 亲爱的 No, no, no, no, stop, my darling.
听着 在这 Look, here.
这就是你想要的 都在上面 That's what you're after. That's what this is about.
拿去吧 Take it.
你的秘密？ 是的 Your secret? Yeah.
你总是更好的魔术师 我们都清楚 You always were the better magician. We both know that.
不管你的秘密是什么 你得承认 Whatever your secret was, you have to agree,
我的更好 mine is better.
别这样 别这样 安吉尔 杰西 杰西！ Don't do this. Don't do this, Angier. Jess, Jess!
杰西 我会带你回家 我保证 Jess, I'm gonna take you home soon. I promise.

我爱你 杰西 I love you, Jess.
安吉尔！安吉尔！ Angier! Angier!
你以为这地方能关住我？ What, do you think this place can hold me?

先生 有位先生在等您 Sir, there's a gentleman waiting.
天啊 你好 科特 Dear God. Hello, Cutter.
你还活着 You're still alive.
你怎么会还活着？ How is it you're still alive?
我都看见你躺在停尸板上了 I saw you on a slab, for God's sake.
孩子 晚安 先生 Child. Good night, sir.
晚安 杰西 Good night, Jess.
我见过她 I've seen her before.
我看见她在法庭上… I saw her in court with...
和佛伦在一起 ...Fallon.
你做了什么？ 她需要照顾 What have you done? She needs looking after.
她需要父亲 She needs her father.
你让他被绞死的 而我是帮凶 You're letting him hang, and I helped you.
我是来请求卡尔多罗勋爵 让我毁掉那机器的 I came here to beg Lord Caldlow to let me destroy that machine.
我不会向你请求任何东西 I am not going to beg you for anything.
你不用请求 我会确认 那东西再也无法使用 You don't have to. I'm gonna make sure it is never used again.
那么 卡尔多罗勋爵 Then, Lord Caldlow...
你想让我把它送到哪去？ ...where do you want me to deliver it?
我的剧院 它应该和那些隐遁的东西在一块 My theater. It belongs with the prestige materials.
约翰 我曾尽力不让你牵扯进来 John, I tried not to involve you.
那么… So...
我们各奔东西吧 We go alone now.
我们俩 Both of us.
我是说 我活不了多久了 I mean, I don't have as far to go as you.
不 No.
你是对的 我不应该鸟他那该死的戏法 You were right. I should have left him to his damn trick.
对不起 I'm sorry.
对不起很多事 I'm sorry for a lot of things.
对不起赛拉的事 I'm sorry about Sarah.
我不想伤害她的 真的 Didn't mean to hurt her, I didn't.
你要好好地活着 为我们俩而活着 You go live your life in full now, all right? You live for both of us.
再见 Goodbye.
你看仔细了没？ Are you watching closely?
推到头 Put it down on the end.
用一分钟想想你的功绩 Take a minute to consider your achievement.
我曾告诉你一个水手 I once told you about a sailor
向我讲述溺水的事情 who described drowning to me.
他说那就像回家一样 Yes, he said it was like going home.
我撒谎了 他说那很痛苦 I was lying. He said it was agony.
艾佛瑞·波顿 今天 以国王的名义 Alfred Borden, this day, in the name of the king
以及英格兰最高法院的名义 and the High Court of England,
对你行刑 you will meet your end.
没人关心盒子里的人 No one cares about the man in the box.
科特？ Cutter?
科特！ Cutter!
你还有什么要说的吗？ Do you have anything to say?
咒语
兄弟？双胞胎？ A brother? A twin?
你本来是佛伦？ You were Fallon.
一直都是？ 不 The whole time? No.
我们都是佛伦 We were both Fallon.
我们都是波顿 We were both Borden.
你是那个进到箱子里的 Were you the one who went into the box?
还是出来的那个？ Or the one who came back out?
我们轮流做 We took turns.
这就是我们魔术的秘密 The trick is where we would swap.
科特早就知道 Cutter knew. Cutter knew.
但我告诉他这太简单 太容易了 But I told him it was too simple, too easy.
不 No.
简约而不简单 Simple, maybe, but not easy.
二人共享一个人的生活不容易 There's nothing easy about two men sharing one life.
我不明白 怎么又流血了？ I don't understand, how it can be bleeding again?
那…奥莉维亚和你妻子呢？ Wha... What about Olivia and your wife?
我们各爱一个人 We each loved one of them.
我爱赛拉 I loved Sarah.
他爱奥莉维亚 He loved Olivia.
我们都只有一半的生活 We each had half of a full life,
但也足够了 really, which was enough for us...
…只是 ...just.
对她们却不够 But not for them.
这就是牺牲 罗伯特 See, sacrifice, Robert,
这就是卓越魔术的代价 that's the price of a good trick.
这是你不能理解的 不是吗？ You wouldn't know anything about that, would you?
我做出了牺牲 I've... I've made sacrifices.
没有 有 No. Yes.
偷别人的成果无需任何代价 It takes nothing to steal another mars work.
不 这代价是一切 Yeah, it takes everything.
不 不 等等 我… No, no, wait, I'm not...
我需要勇气 It took courage.
需要勇气每晚走上那机器 It took courage to climb into that machine every night,
不知道… not knowing...
我是那盒子里的人 ...if I'd be the man in the box...
还是表演“隐循”的人 ...or in the prestige.
你想知道… Do you want to see...
我付出的是什么代价吗？ ...what it cost me?
你没有看清这地方 对不对？ You didn't see where you are, did you?
好好看一看 Look. Look.
我不想看 I don't care.
你跑遍半个地球 You went halfway around the world.
花费大量财富 You spent a fortune.
做了可怕的事 You did terrible things.
非常可怕的事 罗伯特 Really terrible things, Robert.
结果一无所获 And all for nothing.
一无所获？ For nothing?
是啊 Yeah.
你从来都不明白 You never understood...
我们这样是为了什么 ...why we did this.
观众知道事实 The audience knows the truth.
这世界太单调 The world is simple.
太痛苦 It's miserable.
太现实…一直都这么现实 Solid... Solid all the way through.
所以如果你能制造幻象 But if you could fool them,
哪怕只有一秒… even for a second...
就会让他们感到惊讶 ...then you could make them wonder.
然后… And then you...
你就会看到… Then you got to see something
很特别的东西 very special.
你是不会了解的 You really don't know.
那就是… It was...
他们惊讶的表情 ...it was the look on their faces.
每种魔术都有三个步骤 或程序 Every magic trick consists of three parts, or acts.
第一步 “验证” The first part is called "the pledge."
魔术师展示普通的东西 The magician shows you something ordinary.
第二步 “转变” The second act is called "the turn."
魔术师将普通的东西 The magician takes the ordinary something
变化成不寻常的东西 and makes it into something extraordinary.
但你还不会鼓掌 因为物体消失了还不够 But you wouldn't clap yet, because making something disappear
你还要把它变回来 isn't enough. You have to bring it back.
你想寻找其中的奥秘 Now you're looking for the secret.
你却找不到 因为你没在找 But you won't find it, because, of course, you're not really looking.
你其实不想知道 You don't really want to work it out.
你想被愚弄 You want to be fooled.
