00:00Here we go again, same old routine, blah, blah, blah, I'm the Chevalier de Sangol, etc,
00:12etc.
00:13Your Lordship.
00:14As they say in these parts, tar.
00:15The Chevalier where?
00:16De Sangol.
00:17Not heard of it.
00:18Is that a significant territory?
00:19Where is it exactly?
00:20It's boundaries tend to wax and wane.
00:21Yeah, I'm not really bothered.
00:22It's all abroad, isn't it?
00:23Never been.
00:24Couldn't eat the food.
00:25You speak very good English, by the way.
00:27How's my accent?
00:28Hilarious.
00:29How's that?
00:30It's my pleasure to introduce you to the Royal Court.
00:32I must warn you, Mr. Newhouse, the English of a final temper, we're governed by our lusts.
00:37You might find us rather greasy.
00:40Stand by.
00:43I know.
00:49Some of the gentlemen are wearing breeches cut above the knee.
00:53It's just insane.
00:54They're virtual highs.
00:55And I'm told that Miss Kitty Fisher is to take her to drinking tea with lemon.
01:00Wild cat!
01:01Don't look over there.
01:02I think someone's inventing the sandwich.
01:04Oh, you must think us kitty fools.
01:09Ambassador, someone to see you.
01:18Cassanova.
01:21Signor Grimani.
01:23man's a convicted criminal. I should have him arrested on the spot. should being the
01:27operative word since England has no treaty with Venice as the ambassador
01:31well knows in this country I'm a free man.
01:34have you put on weight?
01:38congratulations on your promotion.
01:40I was entirely deserved. I've worked hard.
01:42nothing to do with your father being on the council then.
01:45who said that? what a terrible thing to say.
01:47so where's the missus? not with you?
01:49she's returned to Venice. really? without you?
01:52how could she possibly bear to do that? the children didn't take to the climate.
01:56besides the schools aren't up to scratch and there's a new assembly in Venice she
02:00wanted to visit. blimey that's a lot of reasons.
02:04between you and me
02:07that sounds like a woman who wants to go. nothing wrong is there?
02:11my marriage is none of your business. and yet I think of nothing else. and that is your curse.
02:18might I ask what are your plans while in England?
02:20oh I thought I might...
02:22I've heard about your exploits abroad. it's the same pattern every time.
02:25you charm and flatter and lie through your teeth until idiots throw money at you.
02:29let me tell you Casanova
02:32you won't find it so easy here.
02:35I have considerable influence within the English court.
02:38I can demand an audience with King George II himself.
02:43so go on.
02:45try your tricks
02:47and you will fail.
02:49I'll see to that.
02:53you're just dying to kiss me.
03:00Chancellor. I've finished here.
03:04make sure this man leaves the grounds.
03:14I'm happy now.
03:16why are you happy?
03:17because I've got an enemy. I love that. only good people have enemies.
03:19yeah. that's a great consolation.
03:21no money. no bed. no friends.
03:23but you've got an enemy.
03:25Jack. memorize this phrase.
03:27your father is a knob.
03:29shut up knob.
03:30your father is not a knob.
03:31prove it.
03:32all right. I'll show you and I'll show Grimani at the same time.
03:34what have I got? nothing.
03:36no. hold on. my watch. solid silver.
03:39sell the watch. what do I get? 10 guineas? 15? that's not bad.
03:42that's enough to rent a house for two weeks.
03:44that gives me two weeks to turn my fortunes around. I can do it.
03:46what have I got? what have I got?
03:48townhouse. two bedrooms.
03:50dining room. kitchen.
03:52two bedrooms?
03:54two bedrooms.
03:56two bedrooms. Rocco.
03:58we're gonna advertise.
04:00I'm subletting one of the rooms.
04:02they won't make as much.
04:04that's not the point. I'm advertising for a woman.
04:07not for my own favors.
04:09I just want her living there.
04:11visibly.
04:13a woman on her own
04:15with me.
04:17but that's unheard of.
04:19oh yes.
04:21put the notice on the front door where everyone can see it.
04:23to let. a furnished room for one lady alone.
04:25let it be seen. let people read and comment
04:27and whisper and pass it on.
04:29let the whole of London talk.
04:31gossip can work its magic and set society ablaze.
04:33Casanova.
04:35the man who advertised for a woman.
04:37and here they are.
04:46now Pauline.
04:48can I ask
04:50why you need this room?
04:52I find myself
04:54regrettably unavailable
04:56on a temporary basis sir.
04:58and I should need to avail myself of your
05:00kind offering
05:02on this particular happenstance
05:04because...
05:06because I do.
05:08your husband?
05:10he's away.
05:12where is he away?
05:14unfortunately he's at war.
05:16and
05:18what war would that be?
05:22the Punic wars.
05:24Punic wars?
05:26god bless him.
05:28the Punic wars
05:30ended around 150
05:32BC.
05:34he's been gone a long time.
05:36I put it to you Pauline
05:38that you have
05:40in fact many husbands
05:42every night.
05:44but for all your airs and graces
05:46you are in fact
05:48a prostitute.
05:50is that correct?
05:52oh
05:54bollocks.
05:56you've seen through me like witchcraft you have.
05:58Pauline
06:00you can move in today.
06:04you've gone barmy.
06:06you've installed a whore
06:08in the spare room. what good's that gonna do?
06:10let me tell you about the English.
06:12they like rain. they like gravy.
06:14they like warm beer.
06:16masturbation. romantic fiction.
06:18and above all else
06:20they like scandal.
06:24I'm the Italian with the whore.
06:26they have never seen anything like it.
06:28hello. delighted. yes.
06:30London is talking of nothing else.
06:32I'm in the newspapers every night.
06:34the landlord has stopped charging rent.
06:36he's delighted to have his residence made famous.
06:38the local merchants are sending wine
06:40and fruit and meat free of charge.
06:42simply on the off chance I might mention
06:44their products in public.
06:46Lord Bozentay. don't forget to blood me at the hunt.
06:50and I'm invited to every single party
06:52ball soiree and tea dance
06:54from now until Christmas.
06:56how are you Pauline?
06:58bloody lovely mate.
07:02you see
07:04it's practically the distillation
07:06of my life so far.
07:08I've become famous
07:10simply for being outrageous.
07:12and you can make a living out of it.
07:14rule Britannia.
07:16if I'm honest
07:18I did find Venice rather small.
07:20rather too wet
07:22and a little inbred.
07:24and the men are sort of gnomish but hush now shush
07:26there's the Venetian ambassador.
07:28oh Lady Harrington
07:30will I see you at the Vauxhall Gardens
07:32on Sunday?
07:34sorry not everyone's invited are they?
07:36restricted guest list sorry.
07:38won't say a word.
07:40oh no really stop!
07:42it's too much!
07:44oh my saint!
07:46oh look!
07:48the ambassador chap!
07:50Grimani have you met the king?
07:52Georgie Georgie
07:54this is your man from Venice.
07:56really stop it.
07:58stop it.
08:00oh you cheeky man.
08:04where were we?
08:06I'm busy.
08:08ah yes I was penniless
08:10and friendless
08:12and you were gonna have me driven out of town that's it yeah.
08:14a letter
08:16from Henriette
08:18sending me her love.
08:20the tales of the children
08:22our son and daughter
08:24the family Grimani
08:26who writes to you?
08:28can I read it?
08:30read it.
08:34you see the puzzle is if I were married
08:36to Henriette and separated by
08:38hundreds of miles I'd do anything to be with her.
08:40to hell with the job I'd resign.
08:42I'd walk barefoot.
08:44yet you seem decidedly static.
08:46why is that do you think?
08:48I suppose you're
08:50having problems
08:52in the marital bed perhaps.
08:56dare I suggest on your side of the bed
08:58a bit of trouble
09:00with the old
09:02if you need advice
09:04I'm very good.
09:06how could you possibly advise me you're a con man I'm an ambassador.
09:08I have a wife
09:10you have whores.
09:12I have children.
09:14you have a bastard.
09:16look if you want a measuring contest I'll drop my pants right now and I'll win.
09:18you talk like a pervert.
09:20no I'm just not scared of what's down there that's all.
09:22tell me is cockfighting
09:24illegal in this country cause that's what this is.
09:26you sound more in love with men than women.
09:28men I understand.
09:30I know what men think about
09:32all day long.
09:34those stupid little inches
09:36driving you mad every
09:38waking hour.
09:40I know exactly
09:42what's going on in your head.
09:44is it big?
09:46is it big enough? is it hard enough?
09:48will it work every time?
09:50on demand? cause that's the only thing.
09:52that is the only bastard question.
09:54am I any good in bed?
09:56is every other man
09:58better than me?
10:00is every other man bigger and faster
10:02and slower and longer
10:04and deeper and harder?
10:06what am I doing wrong?
10:08how do I find out? cause no one ever talks about it.
10:10no one ever says.
10:12how can I ever find out what I'm doing wrong?
10:16ask
10:18me.
10:24I challenge you.
10:26all right.
10:28I accept.
10:30you're both incontinent.
10:32just leave it and walk away.
10:34to the death. oh yes.
10:36then I take that as a formal acceptance.
10:38but why are you doing this?
10:40you've dishonored my name.
10:42no.
10:44that's not it. what am I missing?
10:46what is it? dueling within the boundaries
10:48of London is against the king's law.
10:50any man caught engaged in such activity
10:52shall expect the maximum penalty.
10:54the death sentence no less.
10:56and outside the boundaries?
10:58oh fire away.
11:00then we'll meet outside the city.
11:02put your house in order Casanova
11:04and I'll provide you with the time and location.
11:06and a pauper's grave.
11:10I don't care if they call us cowards.
11:12who gives a tussle? we can get to Dover by this afternoon.
11:14I'm not running.
11:16you provoked him. it's your own fault.
11:18you shouldn't have brought Jack. he shouldn't see this.
11:20you want to live for your own son?
11:22doesn't that make sense?
11:24I'm gonna die for it. isn't that right son?
11:28oh shit.
11:30don't do it.
11:32I have to find out why.
11:36why what?
11:38gentlemen present yourselves.
11:44choose your weapons.
11:46pistols.
11:48I'm a very good shot.
11:50why though Grimani?
11:52that's what I don't understand.
11:54why are you doing this with so much at stake?
11:56why? your choice.
11:58that'll do. nice color.
12:00why would you endanger yourself?
12:02you're the one that's in danger.
12:04the distance is set at 20 paces.
12:06but it doesn't make sense.
12:08because anything could happen. I am a good shot.
12:10I could kill you and you'd never see your wife again.
12:14if I were married to Henry I wouldn't risk dying
12:16that's not what anyone said.
12:18some things are more important. but they're not.
12:20absolutely not. nothing in this world is more important.
12:24oh my god.
12:30oh you poor bastard.
12:34you don't care.
12:38if I kill you you don't care
12:40because she doesn't love you.
12:42I never thought
12:44you actually love her.
12:46you always have.
12:50and you married her thinking she'd change.
12:52she'd love you in the end.
12:58all these years you've been hoping.
13:04oh Grimani.
13:06I could have told you so much.
13:08she was mine first.
13:10she was mine first.
13:14that's what everyone forgets.
13:18I was with her first
13:20and you just strode in.
13:22yeah.
13:24how did you...
13:28all right I'm asking you.
13:32how did you make her love you?
13:34what did you do?
13:40the fight's over.
13:42let's just go.
13:50twenty paces.
13:52I'm not doing it.
13:54I'm not. I'm not going to shoot.
13:56all right it's all my fault.
13:58Grimani I'm trying to help you.
14:00if you're that much in love with her
14:02if it's driving you insane then I know what it's like.
14:04we're both the same.
14:06I'm not going to fight a man who loves her this much.
14:10no.
14:26no.
14:40oh
14:44it's my hand.
14:46it's all my hand.
14:48oh Jesus.
14:50I lied about the location.
14:52what's that for? do you feel better now?
14:54this land is within the city boundaries of London.
14:56this combat is illegal. punishable by death.
14:58I have diplomatic immunity. you have not.
15:00you've broken the law Casanova.
15:02you're a fugitive again.
15:06run.
15:08run away. and you got back to a loveless wife.
15:10exactly.
15:12you keep running I'll keep waiting just as it was.
15:14neither one of us can have her.
15:18instead we have each other.
15:20oh god.
15:30well you didn't think I was going to die.
15:34well no.
15:36still aches now.
15:40served me well this scar.
15:42I developed quite a routine over the years.
15:44I would show it to the ladies
15:46and ask them to kiss it better.
15:50who'd fall for that?
16:00this hand was a blessing.
16:02we crossed back over the channel
16:04heading for Poland to find another ambassador.
16:08but the wound wouldn't heal.
16:10I was in a fever.
16:12as we traveled north
16:14the hand became infected.
16:16my blood turned to poison.
16:18and that's a blessing?
16:20in the end yes.
16:22everything I'm hoping for now
16:24this hand proves it.
16:34no wonder it's hurting.
16:36don't hold it so tight.
16:38god's sake.
16:40sorry I'm so sorry.
16:44if you soil a compartment then you pay for it.
16:46if you can't pay you're out.
16:48where are we?
16:50Saxony.
16:52where's Saxony?
16:58if you want another night you're going to have to pay in advance.
17:00I haven't got any more money.
17:02no money no room.
17:04look at the state he's in. I can't move him.
17:06this must be the patient.
17:08no prizes for that. stand back let me look.
17:10who do you have here?
17:12I like that you can pay for a maid.
17:14she's not mine. I've never seen her before.

24:00measures to hide myself.

24:06must have happened.
24:08it did.
24:14in Naples.

24:49you understand me.
24:51yes.
24:53Edith.
24:55if the book were closed
24:57would you stay?
25:01would you?
25:09if you want.
25:11and what then?
25:14don't. you were drawn here
25:16by my reputation. that's how I
25:18remembered a man obsessed
25:20during innocent young maids
25:22to my bedroom. but I know
25:24that's not true. you're a maid
25:26in my bedroom.
25:31but you're not like that.
25:33I'm Casanova.
25:37I didn't come for that. I told you
25:39I'm saving myself. when you first came to my room
25:41I asked you if you wanted me.
25:43and I said no. and then you stayed.
25:45and then came back.
25:47because you can hear it.
25:49the blood in your head.
25:51I know.
26:02my father died and
26:06I've got to work all day.
26:08I've got to do so many things.
26:11I'm still a child.
26:17I don't want to be a child anymore.
26:22and then you find me.
26:27yes.
26:29plenty of young men out there.
26:31but they're not...
26:35I want someone who won't laugh at me.
26:41well.
26:43that was easy.
26:45what was?
26:47seducing you.
26:51come on now. don't.
26:53that's it. simple.
26:55you're mine.
26:57excuse me. I don't think so.
26:59you just offered yourself.
27:01I was just speculating.
27:03that's not fair Jack. I told you not to laugh.
27:05but it's funny.
27:07and if you don't think so you don't want this.
27:09you don't think I'd actually...
27:11that's absurd.
27:13you're ancient. you're not even...
27:15don't deny it.
27:17I was testing you. that's all.
27:19I had you.
27:21and you believed it as if I...
27:23you think I don't know when a woman is mine?
27:25I have had them all.
27:27every woman. every age.
27:29every colour.
27:31in every position.
27:33I staggered through the world.
27:35driven by this stupid
27:37bloody ruthless thing.
27:39and don't pretend you're any better child.
27:41that's what you came for.
27:43that's what you want. Giacomo Casanova.
27:45just as the legend says.
27:47and the legend sticks!
27:49do you want to hear this?
27:51do you really want to know?
27:53do you imagine a virgin girl
27:55is ready for this?
27:57because if you can't take everything
27:59then get out.
28:02get out!
28:05get out!
28:07get out!
28:09get out!
28:11get out!
28:31get out!
28:47why do I have to enter all the piss?
28:49first of all it's Cook. then the steward.
28:51and then I've got to go all the way upstairs and do him.
28:53the librarian. that's not proper work.
28:55you want to leave him alone upstairs?
28:57you shouldn't send young girls to his room.
28:59why do you think
29:01take my advice and stay away from that one?
29:03suits me. it's less work.
29:07is that his chamber pot?
29:09well it's not mine is it? but that's blood.
29:13why should we worry?
29:15I'm not going up there to leech him am I?
29:17but he's ill.
29:19it's nothing to do with us. besides the doctor's been and gone
29:21long since. when was it?
29:23this time last year. nothing to be done.
29:25he's old.
29:27there are surgeons in the city.
29:29all he needs is a priest now.
29:31and I'll tell you something for nothing at all.
29:33where's mr. Casanova bleeding from?
29:35down there.
29:37very common complaint for a man.
29:39you know what causes that don't you?
29:41friction.
29:45men. they're all the same.
29:47rubbing away. can't leave it alone.
29:57you
30:15to be delivered direct to the hand of
30:17Giacomo Casanova the chevalier
30:19disabled. the what?
30:21chevalier. we've got a chevalier
30:23upstairs. giving himself titles
30:25the old fraud and getting private messages.
30:27isn't that grand?
30:29you wait.
30:31I bet he expects us to fetch and carry.
30:33I'm not carting that all the way upstairs.
30:35bollocks to that. this time
30:37we're off duty.
30:39mind you hold Giacomo upstairs.
30:41have a look to his clothes.
30:43all that stuff stored away.
30:45he's either knitted or he's
30:47had hell of a past. the duke ought to
30:49kick him out. he's not worth the bother.
30:51don't go waiting for the duke. he's never coming home if you ask me.
30:53they say in the village
30:55you have to come trampling in Asia.
30:57what law?
30:59I don't know.
31:01law?
31:23music
31:45and still you
31:47come back.
31:49I don't see why a bastard should starve.
31:51I think
31:53this proves I've the better manners.
31:55there was a horse earlier.
31:57someone came to the yard.
31:59did they?
32:01now you should drink this.
32:03it's a drop of valerian. might do you good.
32:05I told the steward if anyone came
32:07a letter or anything he should
32:09send it straight up. well there you are then.
32:11no letter. but there was a horse.
32:15it's nothing to do with me anyway.
32:21you'll wait a long
32:23time if you're expecting an apology.
32:25if I scared
32:27you away it was entirely necessary.
32:29no actually I think you
32:31were the one who was scared.
32:33and now you're going to tell me why.
32:37tell me about Naples.
32:39I warned you. if Henriette's
32:41coming to take you away then the kitchen girl deserves
32:43to hear the full story.
32:45if it's so awful
32:47I may never see you again.
32:49you can start.
32:51you have guts.
32:55I said start.
33:01we kept wandering
33:03over the years
33:05from court to court
33:07Dresden, St. Petersburg, Madrid
33:09trying to pardon my name.
33:11get to the point.
33:13Rocco died.
33:19he just
33:21caught a cold.
33:23I survived
33:25bullets and fever and
33:27curses. he caught a cold and
33:29was dead in six days.
33:31buried
33:33in some little town that no one's
33:35heard of.
33:45I didn't even know him.
33:47I didn't know him.
33:49but you did.
33:51Rocco Scappino.
33:55he's here.
34:01you didn't deserve him.
34:03that's what it says.
34:13we kept on going
34:15over and over and some
34:19making money, losing money
34:21never stopping.
34:23more women
34:25for less and less as the years went by
34:27and then came Naples.
34:31every single ambassador
34:33had refused me but a Venetian
34:35procurator had retired to Naples.
34:37he would have the power to forgive
34:39if only I were brave enough
34:41to approach.
34:43no carriage would take us there.
34:47the citizens of Naples lived in the shadow
34:49of Vesuvius.
34:51the mountain burned as if
34:53God intended to destroy
34:55the city for its sins.
34:57the perfect place
34:59for me.
35:05God, you've brought me to some places.
35:07we're gonna choke on sulphur.
35:09oh, it's stinking!
35:11lodgings.
35:13anyone there?
35:19anyone?
35:21this is useless.
35:23looks like you've cocked it up again, typical.
35:25hello? is there anyone?
35:27Casanova?
35:31yes.
35:33follow me.
35:41you
35:57if you need food or drink
35:59you can have anything you want here.
36:01just ask.
36:03absolutely. this is very kind
36:05but I don't think we've met.
36:07if you'd wait here.
36:11thank you.
36:15maybe this place isn't so bad
36:17after all. now then.
36:19I saw her first.
36:21God, the stink of ash. smell that.
36:25procurator must be mad staying here.
36:27one big bang
36:29the whole city's gone.
36:41oh, my lord.
36:43Bellino.
36:45destiny.
36:47again. my God, how many years.
36:49look at you.
36:51it's almost supernatural.
36:53you haven't aged a single day.
36:55no, no, careful, not the face.
36:57it's a special preparation.
36:59smooths out the skin.
37:01it's acid.
37:03Jack, I told you about Bellino.
37:05she's famous.
37:07she was a man.
37:09castrato in disguise.
37:11oh, my God, and Paris.
37:13oh, and you married.
37:15I read about you. I saw your name.
37:17you'd be proud of me. I married a very wealthy man.
37:19all of this is mine.
37:21and my daughter,
37:23Leonilda.
37:25oh, and this is mine.
37:27this is my son, Jack.
37:29as handsome as his father.
37:31an improvement, I think.
37:33and he's just as cheeky.
37:35I don't believe it.
37:37so much gossip.
37:39the children will get bored.
37:41Leonilda, there must be something more entertaining.
37:43find something for Jack.
37:45my pleasure.
37:47and mine.
37:49handsome boy.
37:51so, tell me.
37:53how are you?
37:55still the same waistline.
37:57I can see.
37:59that's hard work, let me tell you.
38:01but all the places to live.
38:03a bit unfortunate, isn't it?
38:05but that's the point.
38:07anything could happen.
38:09at any moment, the whole world could explode.
38:11don't you think it's thrilling?
38:13well, there is that, yeah.
38:17um, I should warn you.
38:19I'm sure your daughter is perfectly capable.
38:21but she'd better keep her wits about her.
38:23like father, like son.
38:27small of the back.
38:35shame on you.
38:37all those travels and you never met Mozart.
38:39I see I wrote my own opera.
38:41oh, that's so sweet.
38:43but while Mozart's writing, who needs anyone else?
38:47dazzling. try it.
38:49it's from China.
38:51I'm fine, thanks. maybe later.
38:5360 ducats just for this.
38:55to think I was once so scared of extravagance.
38:57do you remember?
38:59now I barely even notice.
39:01that's true nobility. you made it.
39:03and what about you?
39:05oh, I'm fine. I'm sort of...
39:09tired.
39:11still running?
39:13yeah.
39:15it's been such a long time.
39:17I wanted Venice.
39:19I wanted a woman I could never have.
39:21I wanted...
39:23I don't know.
39:27I think the journey took over in the end.
39:29I had this manservant.
39:31I had this friend.
39:33and he died.
39:37I never even stopped.
39:39kept going.
39:47when I first met you,
39:49I had such promise, didn't I?
39:51I found success.
39:53I stole your life.
39:55thief.
39:57I've got everything I want.
39:59I was rich once.
40:01that's just money. I mean everything.
40:05imagine it really.
40:07having nothing left to want.
40:11ever.
40:15but you...
40:17you kept on chasing and reaching out and missing
40:19and chasing again. maybe that's better.
40:21oh, I don't think so.
40:23look at you. you've got a home and a husband.
40:25he's dead.
40:29I'm sorry.
40:31everyone dies.
40:33he was a brave man.
40:35accepted everything, even the scandal.
40:37he brought up leonilda as his own
40:39and never condemned me
40:41for having a child out of wedlock.
40:47she's yours, jack.
40:51leonilda's your daughter.
40:5320 years old.
40:55consider the date.
40:57no, I don't doubt you, but...
41:01god.
41:05oh, but she's beautiful.
41:09if I'd known, if you'd sent me word.
41:11isn't it fun?
41:15is it?
41:17it's a surprise.
41:19well, I suppose, but...
41:21my daughter.
41:23why didn't you tell me?
41:25jack, you were in prison.
41:27oh, my fault again.
41:29that's wonderful, but I suppose...
41:33yes, I think I'd better warn my son, actually.
41:35why?
41:37I think he took a shine to her.
41:39I thought so, too.
41:41does it matter?
41:43of course it matters.
41:45why?
41:47because it does.
41:49jack, you've been out of society for too long.
41:51anything's possible now.
41:55um, do you know where they went, bellino?
41:57where are they? do you know where they went?
41:59oh, don't you see?
42:01I only became famous for being radical,
42:03and this is extreme.
42:09um, I'd better have a word.
42:11I'd better, um...
42:13jack doesn't waste time.
42:15like father, like son.
42:17what the hell is going on here?
42:19we're all going to die.
42:43jack!
42:46jack, I need a word.
42:48sorry, but if you could...
42:53what's going on?
42:55you should know. you're always boasting of your exploits,
42:57so why keep it private? you never did.
42:59jack, I need to talk to you alone, right now.
43:01leonildo, could you excuse us?
43:03it's all right, I know.
43:05I told him.
43:07you did what?
43:09he was the same as any woman.
43:11all right, now, the joke's over. just stop it now.
43:13come with me, jack. both of you, just stop.
43:15this is what you taught me, dad.
43:17take it wherever you can, whenever, with anyone.
43:19I never taught you that. I said no such thing.
43:21I saw you.
43:23I was watching.
43:25the man who'd try anything,
43:27that's what you're famous for.
43:29that's your legend.
43:31good girl.
43:33don't do that. oh, for god's sake, just don't, jack.
43:35just don't touch her.
43:37it's not like I love her. it's just sex.
43:39that's what you said. never lose your heart.
43:43that's not what I meant.
43:45it must be.
43:47because here I am.
43:49and if you're getting old and can't get it up anymore,
43:51then I can do it for you.
43:53I'll keep it going.
43:55the casanova name.
43:59unless...
44:09do you want to join in?
44:13no.
44:21where is he now?
44:23god knows.
44:27in someone's bed.
44:29he's still out there somewhere.
44:31and he isn't the only one.
44:33how many of my bastards are roaming the world
44:35using my name?
44:37that's how casanova will be remembered.
44:39that's not you.
44:41that's exactly me.
44:43a seducer
44:45and a monster.
44:47when you read the stories, isn't that what they said?
44:49but the stories are wrong.
44:51I didn't read you every page.
44:53woman after woman
44:55after woman. jack showed me what I was.
44:57and this time
44:59I didn't need the law to condemn me.
45:01I exiled myself.
45:03I used the stories and invented endings.
45:05it said that I was murdered
45:07in Catalonia, that I froze to death
45:09in Russia, that an angry husband
45:11stabbed me in the heart and it worked.
45:13you thought I was long since dead.
45:15isn't that right? yes.
45:17and Henriette must have thought the same.
45:21I came here.
45:23a tiny little village where no one had heard my name.
45:25and I disappeared.
45:27I wrote this story as penance
45:29and now I'm going to burn it.
45:31don't! it has to be done.
45:33oh but you can't. reduced to ashes.
45:35but you can't jack. it's the one thing that tells the truth.
45:37you talk as though anyone cared.
45:39I do.
45:53I thought I could die here.
45:55in silence.
45:57but now there's Henriette.
45:59and right at the end
46:01I've been given a chance. let me burn it
46:03and start again. what if she doesn't come?
46:05she will. but he's in there.
46:07you told me last night
46:09there was a greater love. above Henriette.
46:11someone you loved best.
46:13and I know jack because I loved him too.
46:15that man.
46:17that stupid
46:19daft man and all his adventures.
46:21don't burn him.

47:13at least you've written that.
47:19there was
47:21there was
47:31I don't know
47:33I don't know the right thing to do.

47:41oh my god!
47:43oh sir!
47:45don't move.
47:47it's all right.
47:49it's all right.
48:19I regret to tell you
48:21that my mother Henriette Grimani
48:23died just six months ago.
48:25she was 70 years old
48:27and passed away without pain or discomfort.
48:29but I feel compelled
48:31to reply to your letter
48:33because she spoke of you often sir.
48:35after my father died
48:37and respecting my father always
48:39she told me many stories
48:41and in every story
48:43there was your name sir.
48:45she told me that you disappeared.
48:47that there were many stories about your death
48:49which she never believed.
48:51and she never stopped looking sir.
48:53she would have wanted me to tell you that.
48:55she never
48:57stopped looking.
49:17thank you.
49:19thank you.

49:54tell her
49:56I'm not well.
49:58she might hurry.
50:00you can do it yourself soon as you're up and about.
50:02now hush.
50:06if the steward finds you
50:08in my room
50:12you'll be sacked.
50:14and you'd get your reputation back
50:16besides
50:18I'm better than this place.
50:20as soon as you're better I'm going.
50:22where?
50:24I don't know.
50:26just
50:28out.
50:30what will you do?
50:32I might surprise you.
50:34have some adventures of my own.
50:38break a few hearts.
50:40and you will?
50:42I think I'll choose something
50:44just out of reach
50:46and run.
50:53just lie still.
50:55where is she?
50:57all her life.
51:00running and chasing
51:02and reaching out and missing
51:04just missing every time.
51:06what if she doesn't get here?
51:10what if I miss?
51:13right at the end.
51:15you'll make it worse. just stop it.
51:17where is she?
51:26she's coming Jack.
51:28I swear
51:30she's coming to be with you right now.
