  • Forget I said that.

  • It's horrid.

  • I haven't been sleeping... (chuckles)

  • (baby fusses)

  • If it is what you need, Mileva...

  • If it is what you really need...

  • I will help you.

  • (breathing raggedly)

  • (cries)

  • (sobs)

  • (Mileva screams, gasps)

  • (panting)

  • ("Maple Leaf Rag" playing on piano)

  • (giggles)

  • (guests laughing)

  • SOLOVINE: Do you ever feel like you're part

  • of something larger?

  • Yes. The universe is so vast.

  • Lately, we've been trying to measure it,

  • - but so far... - Albert, Jesus.

  • I'm talking about

  • the three of us.

  • We should codify

  • our little salon.

  • We'll meet regularly...

  • - Nightly. - Nightly. Fine.

  • With the express purpose of ruminating on philosophy,

  • science, music, art...

  • And women.

  • - (laughs) - And women, too.

  • But we need a name for our little association.

  • The honor is yours, Einstein.

  • You made this possible.

  • Well, uh, how about...

  • the Olympia Academy.

  • SOLOVINE AND HABICHT: The Olympia Academy.

  • (chuckles) Grand and ridiculous,

  • equal parts pompous and austere.

  • Just like its founding members.

  • (all laugh)

  • Long live the Olympia Academy.

  • The Olympia Academy.

  • (chuckles)

  • (baby cries)

  • MILOS: She's the most beautiful girl

  • in the entire world.

  • Elizabeth.

  • Little Lieserl.

  • That's what I told Albert I want to call her.

  • Where is he?

  • Wherever is your father, sweet Lieserl?

  • (door closes)

  • (man and woman laugh)

  • SOLOVINE: Don't linger in the doorway, Einstein.

  • Didn't your mother teach you any manners?

  • I only came to say

  • that I won't be attending this evening's festivities.

  • Why not?

  • I have a family matter.

  • Somebody died?

  • Ah!

  • And you're inheriting a tropical island nation, yes?

  • (chuckles)

  • I'll return in a few weeks.

  • - Where are you going? - Serbia.

  • Serbia?

  • Einstein...

  • look in here

  • and tell me Serbia is more important

  • than what you see.

  • Now, go on, tell me.

  • What's this all about?

  • I just became a father.

  • Are you married?

  • I'm not married to her.

  • Hmm.

  • (grunts) Allow me to indulge in a little thought experiment.

  • - Just imagine a full and turbulent household.

  • A newborn child,

  • cawing, soiling herself left and right.

  • Sleepless nights, chaotic days.

  • A late rent payment, a haggard wife,

  • nagging her untidy husband...

  • - Maurice... - Stay with me now.

  • This is where it turns naughty.

  • Your colleagues.

  • Can you see them?

  • Huh? Men of inferior intellect.

  • But untethered by family, they go zipping past you

  • at the speed of light.

  • And you're left...

  • holding a mewling newborn, asking yourself, "How the hell

  • did I get here?"

  • It's not as if I can turn back time.

  • - Why are you torturing me? - My cousin

  • has a perfectly agreeable situation.

  • He sends the mother of his boy a stipend

  • every month.

  • Everybody happy.

  • You're talking

  • about a woman that I love

  • and the child she just brought into the world.

  • I... Are you suggesting I abandon them?

  • Abandon? No.

  • Send money. Provide help.

  • But you must not sacrifice your dreams

  • just to make them happy.

  • Albert.

  • You are the most brilliant man I've ever met.

  • You're going to do great things.

  • But not if you cinch an anchor

  • around your neck.

  • Think about it, Albert.

  • Maja?

  • What are you doing here?

  • I wrote. You didn't answer.

  • What is it?

  • It's Father.

  • He's very sick, Albert.

  • We must go now.

  • (knocking)

  • Herr Professor.

  • - Thank you. - Yes, sir.

  • - (shouts) - (shattering)

  • EINSTEIN: They're giving it to a man named Rontgen.

  • He's discovered what they're calling X-rays.

  • - Perhaps you read about it, Papa. - Yeah?

  • The Nobel is a major new prize.

  • Maybe you will win one someday, yes?

  • Hmm.

  • No. (chuckles)

  • You were right about me all along, Papa.

  • I'm... I'm only a dreamer.

  • No.

  • No, that's not true.

  • (gulps) I...

  • I've never told you this, Papa, but...

  • when I'm lost,

  • it's always your voice I hear in my head.

  • Guiding me.

  • Maja told me you were angry about the letter

  • I sent to your professor.

  • I was only trying to help.

  • I know.

  • It was childish of me. I'm so sorry.

  • It wasn't you

  • - I was angry with. - (shushing)

  • Tell me about the girl.

  • The Serb.

  • (chuckles softly) Mother doesn't approve.

  • (scoffs)

  • Do you love her?

  • Yes. But it's very complicated.

  • You're a complex soul, Albert.

  • (sniffles)

  • If you've found a woman

  • who will abide with your peculiarities,

  • well, miracles should not be sniffed at.

  • (sniffling)

  • Marry her.

  • Marry her.

  • (gasps Have a big family.

  • Huh?

  • (gasps)

  • The one true blessing in this world

  • is family.

  • (gasping)

  • (exhales)

  • Leave now.

  • Go

  • I'd like to die alone.

  • (sniffles)

  • (sniffles)

  • (Einstein saying kaddish)

  • ALL: Amen.

  • (continues saying kaddish)

  • ALL: Amen.

  • (priest blessing in Serbian)

  • (crying)

  • (shushing softly)

  • (coughs)

  • (cries)

  • (coughing)

  • - (crying) - (shushes, gasps)

  • (speaking indistinctly)

  • (knocking)

  • Yes?

  • Telegramma per Albert Einstein.

  • Thank you.

  • (bell tolling)

  • (priest praying in Serbian)

  • (crying)

  • (sobbing)

  • Perhaps it's for the best.

  • How could you say such a thing?

  • It is sad, yes,

  • but you no longer have any obligation to marry this girl.

  • Papa gave it his blessing.

  • Papa is dead.

  • You told me

  • that your life was just getting started.

  • Now, here you are,

  • free to pursue your dreams with no responsibilities.

  • MILOS: Perhaps this is God's way of giving you

  • another chance. Perhaps it's...

  • Lieserl's gift to you.

  • You're still young.

  • You don't need a man.

  • You never did.

  • EINSTEIN: What about Mileva?

  • Maybe this is what is right for her, too.

  • I know you, brother. You can barely...

  • dress yourself, let alone raise a family.

  • That isn't true.

  • You have your eyes set on the stars, Albert.

  • It's who you are. It's what makes you wonderful.

  • But think about her life.

  • Here, on Earth.

  • MILOS: Now you can do anything,

  • be anybody,

  • go anywhere.

  • (train chugging)

  • (indistinct chatter)

  • How could you not have come?

  • I'm so sorry, Dollie.

  • (sniffles) My father became ill so fast.

  • If I had had any idea...

  • When I saw her

  • being lowered into the ground...

  • it was like a piece of me was torn away.

  • A piece of me buried alongside her.

  • And I knew

  • the only person who could fill that void...

  • is you.

  • And I hate you for that.

  • Go on hating me if you choose.

  • I know I deserve it.

  • And I know I...

  • I don't deserve you.

  • But I will never feel anything

  • but love for you, Mileva.

  • Marry me, Dollie.

  • I know it might only be a humble life I have to offer,

  • but... (sniffles) it's a good life.

  • And if we're together,

  • then it couldn't possibly be anything else.

  • ♪ ♪

  • KATHARINA: It's only the very first Nobel.

  • You will win the next one. I believe in you, Philipp.

  • You're a genius.

  • It's bigger than you understand, Katharina.

  • This whole charade, it's...

  • more evidence of a troubling trend.

  • And what's that?

  • This avaricious hunger for money and acclaim.

  • It's-it's a disease.

  • It's the Jewish mind-set.

  • I didn't know Rontgen was Jewish.

  • He isn't. But I've worked with them.

  • I know their hearts.

  • And Rontgen has a Jewish heart.

  • He's a rat,

  • like the Jews.

  • And rats must be eradicated.

  • You'll come up with something marvelous, Philipp.

  • I know it.

  • (crackling)

  • ♪ ♪

  • (grunts softly)

  • Well, good morning, Frau Einstein.

  • Mm.

  • What has you so riveted this early?

  • Philipp Lenard.

  • He's demonstrated

  • something interesting in the emissions

  • of metals when bombarded with light:

  • more intense light

  • does not produce more energetic emissions.

  • Well, he is a brilliant man.

  • But he didn't go far enough.

  • He gives no explanation as to why.

  • Something more is needed. Something revolutionary.

  • If I had the time...

  • Well, right now you don't.

  • You're going to be late.
