0:02:21 > 0:02:24Just read them the sentence.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32The sentence of the court is that in two days hence,
0:02:32 > 0:02:35the perfumer journeyman Jean-Baptiste Grenouille
0:02:35 > 0:02:39shall be bound to a wooden cross
0:02:39 > 0:02:41with his face raised towards heaven...
0:02:44 > 0:02:49..and whilst still alive, be dealt 12 blows with an iron rod...
0:02:51 > 0:02:55..Breaking the joints of his arms...
0:02:56 > 0:02:58..His shoulders...
0:02:58 > 0:03:00..His hips...
0:03:00 > 0:03:01..His legs!
0:03:03 > 0:03:07He shall then be raised up to hang until dead,
0:03:07 > 0:03:13and all customary acts of mercy are expressly forbidden the executioner.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24'In 18th century France,
0:03:24 > 0:03:28'there lived a man who was one of the most gifted and notorious
0:03:28 > 0:03:30'personages of his time.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34'His name was Jean-Baptiste Grenouille.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36'And if his name has been forgotten today,
0:03:36 > 0:03:40'it is for the sole reason that his entire ambition was restricted
0:03:40 > 0:03:44'to a domain that leaves no trace in history...'

0:04:04 > 0:04:07'In the period of which we speak,
0:04:07 > 0:04:10'there reigned in the cities a stench barely conceivable
0:04:10 > 0:04:12'to us modern men and women.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16'Naturally, the stench was foulest in Paris,
0:04:16 > 0:04:19'for Paris was the largest city in Europe.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23'And nowhere in Paris was that stench more profoundly repugnant
0:04:23 > 0:04:25'than in the city's fish market.'
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Here we are.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30I'll get another box.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35'It was here, then, on the most putrid spot in the whole kingdom,
0:04:35 > 0:04:40'that Jean-Baptiste Grenouille was born on the 17th of July 1738.'
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Aaahhh!

0:04:52 > 0:04:53SQUELCHING
0:05:03 > 0:05:05'It was his mother's fifth birth.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08'She delivered them all here, under her fish stand.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11'And all had been stillbirths or semi-stillbirths.'
0:05:11 > 0:05:12Are you all right?
0:05:12 > 0:05:16'And by evening, the whole mess had been shovelled away
0:05:16 > 0:05:18'with the fish guts into the river.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21'It would be much the same today,
0:05:21 > 0:05:26'but then, Jean-Baptiste chose differently.'
0:05:50 > 0:05:52BABY CRIES
0:05:58 > 0:05:59What's that noise?
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- It's a baby!- What's going on here?
0:06:07 > 0:06:08It's a newborn.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Where's his mother?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13She was just here.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17She tried to kill it, her own child.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19She tried to kill her baby!
0:06:21 > 0:06:23There! There she is!
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- Stop!- Stop her! - Stop where you are!- Murderer!
0:06:26 > 0:06:30'Thus, the first sound to escape Grenouille's lips
0:06:30 > 0:06:32'sent his mother to the gallows.'
0:06:35 > 0:06:38'And Jean-Baptiste, by official order,
0:06:38 > 0:06:41'to the orphanage of Madame Gaillard.'
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- How many today? - Four. Well, three and a half.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56As usual, more dead than alive.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Oh, just take the money and sign.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Make room!
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Where?
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Move!
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Go on!
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Is it dead?
0:07:39 > 0:07:40HE SNIFFS
0:07:52 > 0:07:54That's not staying in my bed.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Let's throw it out, then.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57What if it screams?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Let's just kill him.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09BABY CRIES

0:08:17 > 0:08:20Harder! Push!
0:08:21 > 0:08:23What are you doing?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33'For Madame Gaillard,
0:08:33 > 0:08:36'Grenouille was a source of income just like any other.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39'The children, however, sensed at once
0:08:39 > 0:08:42'that there was something different about him.'
0:08:58 > 0:09:03'By the age of five, Jean-Baptiste still could not talk.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07'But he had been born with a talent that made him unique among mankind.'
0:10:00 > 0:10:01HE SNIFFS
0:10:07 > 0:10:11'It was not that the other children hated him.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14'They felt unnerved by him.'
0:10:18 > 0:10:22'Increasingly, he became aware that his phenomenal sense of smell
0:10:22 > 0:10:26'was a gift that had been given to him and him alone.'
0:10:34 > 0:10:38When Jean-Baptiste did finally learn to speak,
0:10:38 > 0:10:41he soon found that everyday language proved inadequate
0:10:41 > 0:10:45for all the olfactory experiences accumulating within himself.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Wood.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34Something...
0:11:34 > 0:11:39Something, something.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41'By the age of 13,
0:11:41 > 0:11:44'Madame Gaillard no longer had room for Jean-Baptiste
0:11:44 > 0:11:46'and therefore decided to sell him.'
0:11:46 > 0:11:47Come on!
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Ten francs.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57'From his first breath of the odour enveloping this man...'
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Seven. And not one sou more.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02'..Grenouille knew that his life in Grimal's tannery
0:12:02 > 0:12:05'would be worth precisely as much as the work he could accomplish.'
0:12:08 > 0:12:11'Unfortunately for Madame Gaillard...'
0:12:14 > 0:12:17'..The bargain was short-lived.'
0:12:22 > 0:12:27'Life expectancy in the tannery was a mere five years.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31'But Jean-Baptiste proved to be as tough as a resilient bacterium.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33'He adjusted to his new fate
0:12:33 > 0:12:36'and became a paragon of docility and diligence,
0:12:36 > 0:12:40'slaved 15, 16 hours a day summer and winter.'
0:12:41 > 0:12:46'Gradually, he became aware of a world beyond the tannery
0:12:46 > 0:12:51'where a utopia of unexplored smells lay in store for him.'
0:13:14 > 0:13:15Grenouille!
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Come with us.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23I'm taking you to town for delivery.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26'Jean-Baptiste Grenouille had triumphed.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28'He was alive.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32'And at last, he was in his element.'
0:14:09 > 0:14:11'He was not choosy.'
0:14:12 > 0:14:18'He did not differentiate between what are commonly considered to be good smells from bad.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20'At least, not yet.'
0:14:22 > 0:14:24'He was very greedy.'
0:14:25 > 0:14:30'The goal was to possess everything the world had to offer
0:14:30 > 0:14:31'in the way of odours.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35'His only condition being that they were new ones.'
0:14:38 > 0:14:42'Thousands upon thousands of odours formed an invisible gruel
0:14:42 > 0:14:44'which he dissected into its smallest
0:14:44 > 0:14:46'and most remote parts and pieces.'
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Grenouille!
0:15:07 > 0:15:08Come on!
0:15:12 > 0:15:13Get your arse over here.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19He wants 2,000 skins by next week. Can you do that?
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Yeah.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27What is it called?
0:16:27 > 0:16:28Amour and Psyche, madame.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30My latest creation.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33May I try it?
0:16:33 > 0:16:35If you'll allow me, mademoiselle.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Sheer heaven.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51Monsieur Pelissier, you are truly an artiste.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15What do you want?
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Want to buy some?
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Two for a sou.
0:19:58 > 0:19:59FIREWORK EXPLODES
0:22:23 > 0:22:24Ahhhh...
0:22:26 > 0:22:27LAUGHTER
0:22:45 > 0:22:47< Come on!
0:24:04 > 0:24:06HE SNIFFS
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Next time you run off like that,
0:25:40 > 0:25:41I'll kill yer!
0:25:44 > 0:25:48'That night, he could not sleep.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51'The intoxicating power of the girl's scent
0:25:51 > 0:25:53suddenly made it clear to him
0:25:53 > 0:25:57'why he had come to his own life so tenaciously, so savagely.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01'The meaning and purpose of his miserable existence
0:26:01 > 0:26:03'had a higher destiny.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07'He would learn how to preserve scent
0:26:07 > 0:26:11'so that never again would he lose such sublime beauty.'
0:26:34 > 0:26:39'There were about a dozen perfumers in Paris in those days.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43'One of them, the once-celebrated Italian perfumer Giuseppe Baldini,
0:26:43 > 0:26:47'had set up shop in the centre of the bridge called the Pont au Change
0:26:47 > 0:26:50'on his arrival in Paris over 30 years ago.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53'To be sure, at one time in his youth,
0:26:53 > 0:26:56'Baldini had created several truly great perfumes,
0:26:56 > 0:26:58'to which he owed his fortune.'
0:27:00 > 0:27:05'But now Baldini was out of touch, out of fashion,
0:27:05 > 0:27:09'and spent his days waiting for customers that no longer came.'
0:27:10 > 0:27:14- Chenier! There you are! - Monsieur Baldini.- Put on your wig.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Put on your wig!
0:27:18 > 0:27:19You going out?
0:27:19 > 0:27:22I wish to retire to my study for a few hours
0:27:22 > 0:27:25and do not want to be disturbed under any circumstances.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- Will you be creating a new perfume, Monsieur Baldini?- Correct.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29For Count Verhamont.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32He's asked for something like...
0:27:32 > 0:27:35I think he said it was called Amour and Psyche.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38That swindler in the rue Saint Andre des Arts...
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- Pelissier...- Pelissier!
0:27:41 > 0:27:44That's him. Ha!
0:27:44 > 0:27:45Amour and Psyche!
0:27:45 > 0:27:47HE LAUGHS
0:27:49 > 0:27:50Do you know it?
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Oh, yes. You can smell it everywhere these days, monsieur.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56- Hm.- On every street corner.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59In fact, I just purchased you a sample.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04In case you wanted to test it.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10What on earth makes you think I'd be interested in testing it?
0:28:12 > 0:28:15You're right. It's nothing special.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Actually, it's a very common scent.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21I believe the head chord contains lime oil.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Really?
0:28:24 > 0:28:26And the heart chord?
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Orange blossom, I believe.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33And civet in the base chord, but I cannot say for sure.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37Well, I couldn't care less what that bungler Pelissier slops into his perfumes.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Naturally not, monsieur.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43And I am thinking of creating something for Count Verhamont
0:28:43 > 0:28:46that will cause a veritable sensation.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48I'm sure it will, Monsieur Baldini.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Take charge of the shop, Chenier.
0:28:52 > 0:28:53And don't let anyone come near me.
0:28:53 > 0:28:57Inspiration requires peace and tranquillity.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01Vanessa! Fazzoletti.
0:29:30 > 0:29:31Ecco i fazzoletti.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Grazie. Grazie. Grazie.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Is there anything else you need?
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Inspiration, perhaps.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45- Ah, my Giuseppe!- Ah.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48- You are still the great perfumer Baldini.- Mm.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00RUMBLING
0:30:40 > 0:30:41Bellissimo.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Wonderful.
0:30:47 > 0:30:48He did it again.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Hm. Lime oil.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Yes, indeed.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Orange blossom, to be sure.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09And a hint of cloves, perhaps?
0:31:11 > 0:31:13No.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Or could be cinnamon.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19It's gone.
0:31:23 > 0:31:24Cinnamon.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26It's not cinnamon.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30Ah!
0:31:30 > 0:31:31Cloves.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33No.
0:31:33 > 0:31:34Musk?
0:31:34 > 0:31:35No.
0:31:35 > 0:31:36Ach!
0:31:47 > 0:31:48SNORING
0:31:51 > 0:31:52KNOCK ON DOOR
0:31:59 > 0:32:00KNOCK ON DOOR
0:32:14 > 0:32:15Who's there?
0:32:15 > 0:32:17I'm from Grimal's tannery.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22I've brung the goatskins you ordered.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Follow me.
0:32:35 > 0:32:36This way.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11There.
0:33:11 > 0:33:12Leave them there.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22Tell your master that the skins are fine.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26I'll come by in the next few days and pay for them.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29Yes, monsieur.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38You want to make this leather smell good, don't you?
0:33:38 > 0:33:40Why, of course. And so it shall.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43With Amour and Psyche by Pelissier?
0:33:47 > 0:33:51Whatever gave you the absurd idea I would use someone else's perfume?
0:33:51 > 0:33:53It's all over you.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56It's on your forehead, your nose, your hands.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58It's bad, Amour and Psyche is, master.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01There's too much rosemary in it, and too much of...
0:34:02 > 0:34:04That and that.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09Bergamot.
0:34:09 > 0:34:10And patchouli.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12P...
0:34:12 > 0:34:13Patchouli...
0:34:13 > 0:34:15Patchou...
0:34:20 > 0:34:21What else?
0:34:24 > 0:34:25That and that.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29That and that.
0:34:38 > 0:34:39Orange blossom.
0:34:41 > 0:34:42Lime.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Musk.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46Rosemary.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50And cloves.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52And this.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Storax?
0:35:01 > 0:35:02That's in it, too.
0:35:02 > 0:35:03- Storax.- Storax.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05- Storax.- Storax.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14You have, it appears, a fine nose, young man. But...
0:35:14 > 0:35:18My nose knows all the smells in the world. It's the best nose in Paris.
0:35:18 > 0:35:23- Only I don't know the names. I need to learn the names, learn them all. - No! No! No! Basta!
0:35:23 > 0:35:24You don't interrupt me when I'm speaking.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27You're both impertinent and insolent!
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Even I don't know every scent.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35I have, of course, known for some time the ingredients of Amour and Psyche.
0:35:35 > 0:35:40But all it needs to find that out is a passably fine nose, nothing else.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45But it needs the craft of a true perfumer
0:35:45 > 0:35:47to detect the exact formula -
0:35:47 > 0:35:49which notes, which chords
0:35:49 > 0:35:52and in what precise measurements.
0:35:52 > 0:35:57Could you tell me the exact formula of Amour and Psyche? Hm?
0:35:59 > 0:36:00Best nose in Paris?
0:36:05 > 0:36:06Speak up!
0:36:06 > 0:36:10You see, you can't, can you?
0:36:10 > 0:36:12And I'll tell you why.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15Because talent means next to nothing!
0:36:17 > 0:36:20While experience, acquired in humility,
0:36:20 > 0:36:23and hard work, means everything.
0:36:27 > 0:36:28I don't...
0:36:28 > 0:36:30I don't know what a formula is.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33But I can make Amour and Psyche for you now.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37Ah! And you think I'll just let you slop around in my laboratory
0:36:37 > 0:36:40with essential oils that are worth a fortune? You!
0:36:40 > 0:36:42Yes.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45Now pay attention!
0:36:47 > 0:36:49What is your name, anyway?
0:36:51 > 0:36:52Jean-Baptiste Grenouille.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55Mm-hm. Mm-hm, mm-hm.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57Very well, Jean-Baptiste Grenouille...
0:36:59 > 0:37:02You shall have the opportunity now, at this very moment, to prove your assertion.
0:37:02 > 0:37:07Your grandiose failure will also be an opportunity for you to learn the virtue of humility.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09How much do you want me to make?
0:37:09 > 0:37:10How much of what?
0:37:10 > 0:37:13- How much Amour and Psyche do you want?- Huh?
0:37:15 > 0:37:16Shall I fill this flask?
0:37:16 > 0:37:18No! You shall not!
0:37:28 > 0:37:29You may fill this one.
0:37:29 > 0:37:30Yes, master.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36- But, Master Baldini...- Hm?
0:37:36 > 0:37:38You must let me do it in my own way.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41As you please.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49No! Don't drop that! That's pure alcohol!
0:37:49 > 0:37:51You want to blow up the entire building?
0:37:54 > 0:37:55You have to measure it first.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Stop! Stop it! That's enough!
0:38:44 > 0:38:47Basta! You know nothing.
0:38:47 > 0:38:52Essential oils are always to be mixed first then the alcohol added.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55And never, ever this perfume to be shaken like that.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59I must've been insane to listen to your asinine gibberish.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03It's all done.
0:39:31 > 0:39:32Mamma mia.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49This is Amour and Psyche.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51But it's not a good perfume, master.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57If you let me again, master, I'll make it more better.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Now it's a really good perfume.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Hm.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19Don't you want to smell it, master?
0:41:19 > 0:41:21I'm not in the mood to test it now.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24I have other things on my mind. Go now.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28- But, master...- Go now!
0:41:42 > 0:41:46Can I come to work for you, master? Can I?
0:41:47 > 0:41:49Er, let me think about it.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Master!
0:41:51 > 0:41:54I have to learn how to keep smell.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57What?
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Can you teach me that?
0:42:01 > 0:42:03I shall have to think about it. Now go.
0:42:23 > 0:42:24Ahhh...
0:42:47 > 0:42:48I love you.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58I'll give you 50 francs for him.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Grenouille!
0:43:06 > 0:43:11'Grimal's transaction had a profound effect on all three parties...'
0:43:11 > 0:43:12Hey, watch out!
0:43:14 > 0:43:18'Not least upon Monsieur Grimal himself.'
0:43:20 > 0:43:24'As for Giuseppe Baldini, the acquisition of Grenouille
0:43:24 > 0:43:27'miraculously transformed his dwindling business,
0:43:27 > 0:43:29'even surpassing its former glory.'
0:43:37 > 0:43:39'While at last, for Jean-Baptiste,
0:43:39 > 0:43:44'the mysterious secrets of the perfumer's craft began to unfold.'
0:43:49 > 0:43:53Now, pay careful attention to what I tell you.
0:43:53 > 0:43:57Just like a musical chord, a perfume cord contains four essences,
0:43:57 > 0:44:01or notes, carefully selected for their harmonic affinity.
0:44:01 > 0:44:06Each perfume contains three chords, the head, the heart and the base,
0:44:06 > 0:44:09necessitating 12 notes in all.
0:44:09 > 0:44:13The head chord contains the first impression,
0:44:13 > 0:44:16lasting a few minutes, before giving way to the heart chord,
0:44:16 > 0:44:20the theme of the perfume, lasting several hours.
0:44:20 > 0:44:25Finally, the base chord, the trail of the perfume,
0:44:25 > 0:44:27lasting several days.
0:44:31 > 0:44:33Mind you, the Ancient Egyptians believed
0:44:33 > 0:44:36that one can only create a truly original perfume
0:44:36 > 0:44:38by adding an extra note,
0:44:38 > 0:44:45one final essence that will ring out and dominate the others.
0:44:46 > 0:44:51Legend has it that an amphora was once found in a pharaoh's tomb
0:44:51 > 0:44:53and when it was opened,
0:44:53 > 0:44:58a perfume was released after all those thousands of years,
0:44:58 > 0:45:02a perfume of such subtle beauty and yet such power
0:45:02 > 0:45:05that for one single moment,
0:45:05 > 0:45:09every person on earth believed they were in paradise.
0:45:11 > 0:45:1412 essences could be identified.
0:45:14 > 0:45:16But the 13th,
0:45:16 > 0:45:18the vital one...
0:45:20 > 0:45:22..Could never be determined.
0:45:23 > 0:45:24Why not?
0:45:26 > 0:45:30"Why not?" What do you mean, "Why not?"
0:45:30 > 0:45:33Because it's a legend, numbskull.
0:45:33 > 0:45:35What's a legend?
0:45:37 > 0:45:39Never mind.
0:46:19 > 0:46:21Jean-Baptiste? Jean-Baptiste?
0:46:27 > 0:46:29What's the matter?
0:46:29 > 0:46:33Master, I have to learn how to capture scent.
0:46:35 > 0:46:37What are you talking about?
0:46:37 > 0:46:41I have to learn how to capture a scent and 'reprose' it for ever.
0:46:41 > 0:46:43You mean 'preserve'.
0:46:43 > 0:46:45You have to teach me that.
0:46:45 > 0:46:49All right, calm down, my boy. Hm? Calm down.
0:46:49 > 0:46:51We have work to do.
0:46:51 > 0:46:55The soul of beings is their scent.
0:46:56 > 0:46:58You said that, master.
0:46:59 > 0:47:00Did I?
0:47:00 > 0:47:03I will make you as many perfumes as you want.
0:47:03 > 0:47:08But you have to teach me how to capture the smell of all things.
0:47:08 > 0:47:10Can you do that?
0:47:11 > 0:47:13Well, naturally.
0:47:13 > 0:47:15Then teach me everything you know.
0:47:18 > 0:47:21And I'll make you the best perfume in the whole world.
0:47:38 > 0:47:40Imagine, Jean-Baptiste,
0:47:40 > 0:47:4710,000 roses to produce one single ounce of essential oil.
0:47:47 > 0:47:49That's the last of 'em!
0:47:49 > 0:47:54Now, keep the air flowing, or the bottom petals will begin to stew,
0:47:54 > 0:47:56while I set up the alembic.
0:47:56 > 0:47:58And take care not to damage them.
0:47:58 > 0:48:01We have to let them go to their deaths with their scent intact.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21Perfect!
0:48:21 > 0:48:23Now help me with the boar's head.
0:48:36 > 0:48:37Temperature is vital.
0:48:37 > 0:48:39When the quicksilver is here,
0:48:39 > 0:48:44the heat is precisely correct and the oil will gradually rise.
0:48:44 > 0:48:49Note that this mechanism is a remarkable invention
0:48:49 > 0:48:51of my own devising.
0:48:51 > 0:48:56You will observe how cold water is pumped through here,
0:48:56 > 0:49:02allowing the essence to condense here,
0:49:02 > 0:49:05until it finally...
0:49:05 > 0:49:06appears...
0:49:08 > 0:49:10..here.
0:49:10 > 0:49:14Of course, out on the hillside above Grasse,
0:49:14 > 0:49:17we had only to bellow pure fresh air.
0:49:17 > 0:49:19Ah, Grasse!
0:49:19 > 0:49:21What a town.
0:49:22 > 0:49:25The Rome of scents.
0:49:25 > 0:49:28The Promised Land of perfume.
0:49:30 > 0:49:34No man can rightly call himself a perfumer
0:49:34 > 0:49:38unless he has proved his worth in that hallowed place.
0:49:38 > 0:49:40RUMBLING
0:49:40 > 0:49:42Not to worry!
0:49:42 > 0:49:43It happens all the time.
0:49:45 > 0:49:47To Grasse.
0:50:03 > 0:50:04Master!
0:50:05 > 0:50:06Look.
0:50:12 > 0:50:14The very soul of the rose.
0:50:54 > 0:50:55SNORING
0:50:57 > 0:50:58CREAKING
0:50:59 > 0:51:01EXPLOSION
0:51:01 > 0:51:03SCREAMING
0:51:06 > 0:51:07Jean-Baptiste!
0:51:10 > 0:51:11What's wrong?
0:51:13 > 0:51:15Jean-Baptiste?
0:51:17 > 0:51:19What have you done?
0:51:19 > 0:51:21- You lied.- What?
0:51:21 > 0:51:24You lied to me.
0:51:24 > 0:51:26How dare you talk to me like that!
0:51:28 > 0:51:31You said I could capture the scent of anything.
0:51:31 > 0:51:33And so you can!
0:51:37 > 0:51:39What do you smell?
0:51:39 > 0:51:41What do you smell?
0:51:46 > 0:51:47Nothing.
0:51:50 > 0:51:52What were you expecting to smell?
0:51:52 > 0:51:54Glass.
0:51:55 > 0:51:56But glass doesn't smell.
0:51:56 > 0:51:58Of course it does. What's this?
0:52:03 > 0:52:04I don't smell a thing.
0:52:06 > 0:52:08- Basta!- It should smell like copper!
0:52:08 > 0:52:09Enough!
0:52:12 > 0:52:15You were trying to distil the smell of copper?
0:52:15 > 0:52:18Iron? Glass? Copper?
0:52:22 > 0:52:24What else did you try?
0:52:28 > 0:52:29No?!
0:52:29 > 0:52:33Madonna mia, have you gone completely insane?
0:52:33 > 0:52:36You told me I had to experiment.
0:52:36 > 0:52:38Experiment?
0:52:38 > 0:52:40Experiment?
0:52:40 > 0:52:41With a cat?!
0:52:44 > 0:52:46What kind of a human being are you?
0:52:46 > 0:52:49Don't you know anything?
0:52:49 > 0:52:51You can no more distil the scent of a cat
0:52:51 > 0:52:53than you can distil the scent of you or me!
0:53:03 > 0:53:04I can't?
0:53:04 > 0:53:07Of course not!
0:53:13 > 0:53:15He is in stadio ultimo.
0:53:15 > 0:53:18- What?- He's dying. - Is there nothing you can do?
0:53:18 > 0:53:20I fear not.
0:53:20 > 0:53:22No! He cannot die.
0:53:22 > 0:53:24Well, the fee is 50 francs.
0:53:24 > 0:53:2650 francs? You charlatan!
0:53:31 > 0:53:35Oh, dear, Jean-Baptiste!
0:53:36 > 0:53:38You cannot do this to me.
0:53:38 > 0:53:41Please, don't die on me.
0:53:41 > 0:53:43Not now, not yet!
0:53:54 > 0:53:56Is there...
0:53:59 > 0:54:02..any other way...
0:54:03 > 0:54:06..to preserve smell besides distilling?
0:54:06 > 0:54:08Jean-Baptiste!
0:54:13 > 0:54:14Is there, master?
0:54:15 > 0:54:18Well, yes, I... I believe there is.
0:54:20 > 0:54:22What is it?
0:54:24 > 0:54:28It is known as the mysterious art of enfleurage.
0:54:30 > 0:54:32Can you teach me?
0:54:34 > 0:54:38Not even I am intimate with its secrets.
0:54:40 > 0:54:43But could I learn it in Grasse?
0:54:43 > 0:54:46Ah, well...
0:54:46 > 0:54:47Could I?
0:54:52 > 0:54:55Where else but in Grasse?
0:55:01 > 0:55:04'Within a week, Grenouille was well again.
0:55:04 > 0:55:07'But in order to travel to Grasse and find a job,
0:55:07 > 0:55:09'he needed a journeyman's papers.
0:55:09 > 0:55:11'Baldini agreed to provide them
0:55:11 > 0:55:14'on condition that Grenouille left him not less
0:55:14 > 0:55:18'than 100 formulas for new perfumes.
0:55:18 > 0:55:20'Grenouille did not mind.
0:55:20 > 0:55:22'He could have given him a thousand.
0:55:27 > 0:55:32'The morning of Grenouille's departure, Baldini was pleased.
0:55:32 > 0:55:36'At last he felt rewarded for his many years of hard work.
0:55:36 > 0:55:39'He could not remember a happier day.
0:55:39 > 0:55:43'Deeply satisfied, he went back to sleep
0:55:43 > 0:55:45'and awoke no more in this life.'
0:56:04 > 0:56:07'With every step Grenouille took away from the city,
0:56:07 > 0:56:09'the happier he felt.
0:56:09 > 0:56:14'The air above him grew clearer, purer, cleaner.
0:56:14 > 0:56:17'And at last he was able to breathe freely.
0:56:20 > 0:56:22'There were two ways to reach Grasse.
0:56:24 > 0:56:27'The first followed the winding road through the villages,
0:56:27 > 0:56:31'while the second led straight across the hills and mountains,
0:56:31 > 0:56:33'down into Provence.
0:56:33 > 0:56:35'The choice was quite easy.'
0:56:39 > 0:56:44'Thus, his nose led him ever higher, ever further from mankind,
0:56:44 > 0:56:49'ever more towards the magnetic pole of the greatest possible solitude.'
0:57:26 > 0:57:29'Grenouille needed a moment to believe
0:57:29 > 0:57:32'that he had actually found a spot on earth
0:57:32 > 0:57:34'where scent was almost absent.
0:57:39 > 0:57:44'Spread all around lay nothing but the tranquil scent of dead stone.'
0:57:46 > 0:57:49'There was something sacred about this place.'
0:57:53 > 0:57:57'No longer distracted by anything external,
0:57:57 > 0:58:00'he was finally able to bask in his own existence.
0:58:02 > 0:58:04'And found it splendid.'
0:58:12 > 0:58:17'After a while, he almost forgot his plans and obsessions.
0:58:18 > 0:58:21'And indeed, might have done so altogether.'
0:58:36 > 0:58:37Hello?
0:58:40 > 0:58:41Hello?
0:58:45 > 0:58:47Hello?
0:59:04 > 0:59:06'There were a thousand smells in his clothes,
0:59:06 > 0:59:09'the smell of sand, stone, moss.
0:59:09 > 0:59:12'Even the smell of the sausage he'd eaten weeks ago.
0:59:12 > 0:59:14'Only one smell was not there.'
0:59:17 > 0:59:19'His own.'
0:59:44 > 0:59:46HE SNIFFS
0:59:55 > 0:59:56'For the first time in his life,
0:59:56 > 0:59:59'Grenouille realised that he had no smell of his own.'
1:00:01 > 1:00:05'He realised that all his life he had been a nobody to everyone.'
1:00:06 > 1:00:10'What he now felt was the fear of his own oblivion.
1:00:10 > 1:00:12'It was as though
1:00:12 > 1:00:14'he did not exist.'
1:00:19 > 1:00:24'By the first light of next morning, Grenouille had a new plan.
1:00:24 > 1:00:27'He must continue his journey to Grasse.
1:00:27 > 1:00:31'There he would teach the world not only that he existed,
1:00:31 > 1:00:35'that he was someone, but that he was exceptional.
1:00:39 > 1:00:41'And with this decision,
1:00:41 > 1:00:45'it seemed that the gods had at last begun to smile on him.'
1:02:03 > 1:02:05Go on.
1:05:01 > 1:05:03Laura?
1:05:09 > 1:05:11Laura?
1:05:12 > 1:05:14Coming, Papa.
1:05:45 > 1:05:46Ah!
1:05:49 > 1:05:51Haven't seen you here before.
1:05:53 > 1:05:55It's my first season.
1:05:56 > 1:05:58Picking together is always more fun.
1:05:59 > 1:06:01They say you pick everything you find.
1:06:44 > 1:06:45Idiot!
1:06:45 > 1:06:48How many times have I told you not to cram the blossoms in
1:06:48 > 1:06:50like you're stuffing a chicken?
1:06:51 > 1:06:53Watch how Grenouille does it.
1:06:56 > 1:06:57Look how skilfully he handles them.
1:06:57 > 1:07:01The whole art of enfleurage is to allow the flowers to die slowly,
1:07:01 > 1:07:03in their sleep, as it were.
1:07:03 > 1:07:06Handle them as you would a lady.
1:07:06 > 1:07:08Wouldn't you agree with me, Druot?
1:07:08 > 1:07:10If you say so, madame.
1:07:11 > 1:07:13You!
1:07:13 > 1:07:15Check the jonquil blossoms.
1:07:18 > 1:07:20They need more time.
1:07:23 > 1:07:24Do what I say.
1:08:07 > 1:08:09Stop it.
1:08:09 > 1:08:10I'm not in the mood.
1:08:10 > 1:08:11Are you sure?
1:08:13 > 1:08:14Of course I'm sure.
1:08:21 > 1:08:24I said...
1:08:24 > 1:08:25No!
1:08:27 > 1:08:28Ah!
1:08:36 > 1:08:37Suit yourself.
1:08:41 > 1:08:43Lucien?
1:08:45 > 1:08:48Fetch me back the ladder!
1:08:48 > 1:08:49Fetch it yourself!
1:08:56 > 1:08:58CREAKING
1:09:00 > 1:09:02Lucien?
1:09:04 > 1:09:06Lucien!
1:09:13 > 1:09:16CREAKING
1:09:16 > 1:09:19Lucien?

1:09:40 > 1:09:41Lucien?
1:10:37 > 1:10:38Tuberoses.
1:10:38 > 1:10:40For Madame Arnulfi.
1:10:40 > 1:10:41She here?
1:10:44 > 1:10:45She's busy.
1:10:53 > 1:10:55Seems such a waste to boil 'em.
1:10:56 > 1:10:58Or whatever you do with 'em.
1:11:03 > 1:11:05So, what do you do with 'em?
1:11:06 > 1:11:08Warm them in animal fat.
1:11:08 > 1:11:10What for?
1:11:10 > 1:11:13The fat soaks up their scent.
1:11:13 > 1:11:14Then what?
1:11:16 > 1:11:19Then I cool it to a pomade, and...
1:11:20 > 1:11:24And then I filter it, before...
1:11:27 > 1:11:29Before what?
1:11:29 > 1:11:33Before adding alcohol and other essences to make a perfume.
1:11:33 > 1:11:34Don't touch anything!
1:11:40 > 1:11:41What's in there?
1:11:42 > 1:11:43Nothing, just flowers.
1:11:43 > 1:11:46Can I look?
1:11:46 > 1:11:48No. Not now, I've got work to do. You must go now.
1:11:48 > 1:11:51- Ah, come on, let me look. - Don't touch!
1:11:51 > 1:11:52Tuberoses. >
1:11:55 > 1:11:56Morning, madame.
1:11:56 > 1:11:57Morning.
1:12:00 > 1:12:01Why have you covered the tank?
1:12:03 > 1:12:05It's an experiment, madame,
1:12:05 > 1:12:08to... to...
1:12:08 > 1:12:10to protect the blossoms from daylight,
1:12:10 > 1:12:12to preserve the scent better.
1:12:12 > 1:12:14Mm-hm.
1:12:14 > 1:12:16Well, if you say so.
1:12:17 > 1:12:20Come with me. I'll settle your master's account.
1:12:22 > 1:12:25To preserve their scent better, you say?
1:12:38 > 1:12:40I don't smell much.
1:12:46 > 1:12:47No.
1:12:47 > 1:12:50Then my experiment was a failure.
1:12:53 > 1:12:57Make sure it's your time you're wasting, not ours.
1:13:08 > 1:13:10How much must I pay?
1:13:12 > 1:13:15To be with you.
1:13:15 > 1:13:17Depends what you want.
1:13:29 > 1:13:31What's that stuff?
1:13:34 > 1:13:36I'm creating a perfume.
1:13:39 > 1:13:41Lie down, please.
1:13:58 > 1:13:59Ugh!
1:14:00 > 1:14:02It feels horrible.
1:14:02 > 1:14:04It's only animal fat.
1:14:04 > 1:14:06To soak up your scent.
1:14:07 > 1:14:09Creating a perfume, eh?
1:14:09 > 1:14:10Come on, admit it.
1:14:10 > 1:14:13You're getting some sort of bang out of this, aren't you?
1:14:13 > 1:14:15Aren't you?
1:14:15 > 1:14:17I enjoy my work.
1:14:18 > 1:14:20Hold your arm still.
1:14:28 > 1:14:31Don't think you're going to tie me up.
1:14:31 > 1:14:33Hold out your arm, please.
1:14:39 > 1:14:42I've come across some strange men in my time...
1:14:42 > 1:14:44Just...
1:14:44 > 1:14:45relax.
1:14:52 > 1:14:55Holy Mother! What's that?
1:14:57 > 1:15:01- Just for scraping off the fat. - Are you mad?- I said relax.
1:15:01 > 1:15:03You'll ruin everything.
1:15:03 > 1:15:07If you're frightened, you stink, and your perfume will be spoilt.
1:15:07 > 1:15:10I've had enough!
1:15:10 > 1:15:11Get out!
1:15:11 > 1:15:13Here, take your money!
1:15:13 > 1:15:16Basting me with all this goo! What do you think I am,
1:15:16 > 1:15:18a Christmas goose? Get out of here!
1:18:07 > 1:18:08DOG WHINES
1:18:08 > 1:18:10DOG BARKS
1:18:36 > 1:18:41- Quickly, blow them out before the roses melt.- Roses can't melt, Papa.
1:18:41 > 1:18:42These ones can.
1:18:56 > 1:19:01Now I'd like to propose a toast to our guest of honour,
1:19:01 > 1:19:03His Excellency, the Marquis de Montesquieu.
1:19:03 > 1:19:07- May our trade continue to flourish. - < Hear, hear!
1:19:11 > 1:19:14I thank you all, and would ask of you the honour
1:19:14 > 1:19:18to be the first to offer my congratulations to your beautiful daughter,
1:19:18 > 1:19:21and present her with a small token of my affection.
1:19:29 > 1:19:31MAN: It's beautiful.
1:19:40 > 1:19:42WOMAN: It's beautiful.
1:19:46 > 1:19:48I am overwhelmed, your grace.
1:19:48 > 1:19:51Your grace? I had hoped that we would be on
1:19:51 > 1:19:53more familiar terms by now.
1:19:56 > 1:19:58Let's have a game of hide and seek!
1:19:58 > 1:20:01Oh, yes! But everyone must play.
1:20:03 > 1:20:05MAN: The men catch the women.
1:20:12 > 1:20:14Wait!
1:20:45 > 1:20:47SHE SCREAMS Run!
1:21:35 > 1:21:36A-A-AH!
1:21:40 > 1:21:42Put me down, please.
1:21:46 > 1:21:48Now there's no escape.
1:22:17 > 1:22:19Game's over, everybody!
1:22:22 > 1:22:23Laura!
1:22:23 > 1:22:26Time to go in now.
1:22:49 > 1:22:50Laura!
1:23:07 > 1:23:11- MAN:- Albine! Francoise!
1:23:16 > 1:23:18Laura, have you seen the twins?
1:23:18 > 1:23:21No, not since the game started.
1:23:23 > 1:23:25Albine! Francoise!
1:23:35 > 1:23:39- Albine! Francoise!- Jacques!
1:23:40 > 1:23:41Take this way.
1:23:41 > 1:23:43You two, with me.
1:23:43 > 1:23:47Your Excellency...through here.
1:23:47 > 1:23:51Albine! Francoise! Girls, where are you?
1:23:51 > 1:23:54Albine! Francoise!
1:25:02 > 1:25:05I've told that cretin ten times to get these ready.
1:25:05 > 1:25:07Don't keep picking on the boy.
1:25:07 > 1:25:11I'll kill him, the useless little sewer rat!
1:25:11 > 1:25:13Grenouille!
1:25:14 > 1:25:17What are you doing?! Why aren't the enfleurage frames...?!
1:25:24 > 1:25:26- Yes, master?- I mean, would you be good enough
1:25:26 > 1:25:29to prepare the enfleurage frames, Jean-Baptise?
1:25:33 > 1:25:34Certainly, master.
1:25:45 > 1:25:46Hey, look!
1:25:47 > 1:25:51Sweet... There!
1:25:51 > 1:25:53A curfew? Are you mad?
1:25:53 > 1:25:57Jasmine can only be picked before dawn. We all know that!
1:25:57 > 1:26:01This could mean the ruin of our trade! Yours!
1:26:01 > 1:26:04And yours, and yours!
1:26:04 > 1:26:07Supposing it's your daughter next time?
1:26:07 > 1:26:12Of course, a curfew is necessary, but we also have to catch this man.
1:26:12 > 1:26:13And the only way to do that is
1:26:13 > 1:26:16to understand how he thinks! What he wants!
1:26:16 > 1:26:20I should've thought that was obvious. Use your imagination!
1:26:20 > 1:26:24And if I were to tell you all except the prostitute went to their graves
1:26:24 > 1:26:27- with their chastity intact? - How would you know?
1:26:27 > 1:26:31The coroner had each girl examined. They were all found to be virgins.
1:26:31 > 1:26:35MURMURING Supposing there isn't a next time.
1:26:35 > 1:26:39If we introduce a curfew, we may all go bankrupt for nothing.
1:26:39 > 1:26:41MURMURED AGREEMENT
1:26:41 > 1:26:47So we wait until he's killed what... Six? Seven? Eight?
1:26:54 > 1:26:56SHE GASPS
1:27:07 > 1:27:09SCREAMING
1:27:10 > 1:27:13Curfew! Go back to your homes.
1:27:13 > 1:27:16- What's happening?- It's a curfew. Back to your home.
1:27:24 > 1:27:25Agh!
1:27:27 > 1:27:30Gentlemen! Gentlemen!
1:27:30 > 1:27:35We have to face the fact that our police are helpless in this matter.
1:27:35 > 1:27:37I suggest that we ask for support from Paris.
1:27:37 > 1:27:41- Paris won't be smarter than we are. - Arrest every gypsy and every beggar.
1:27:41 > 1:27:44- And every man without a wife and family.- Listen!
1:27:46 > 1:27:51We have to put ourselves inside the mind of this man.
1:27:51 > 1:27:56Each of his victims had an especial beauty.
1:27:56 > 1:27:58We know he doesn't want their virginity. It seems to me
1:27:58 > 1:28:01it's their beauty itself that he wants.
1:28:01 > 1:28:04It's almost as if as if he's trying to gather something.
1:28:04 > 1:28:09As if his ambitions are those of a collector.
1:28:09 > 1:28:12A collector? Of what?
1:28:12 > 1:28:13Their hair?
1:28:13 > 1:28:18Get out! Get out! You murderer!
1:28:18 > 1:28:20THEY SHOUT ABUSE
1:28:20 > 1:28:22Whatever it is...
1:28:22 > 1:28:27I fear he won't stop killing until his collection is complete.
1:28:47 > 1:28:51Here you are. Next! Quick as you can. You too!
1:28:51 > 1:28:53- Monsieur?- Ah!
1:28:55 > 1:28:58'This man. This man is a demon!'
1:28:58 > 1:29:01A phantom who cannot be fought by human means.
1:29:01 > 1:29:06Now I insist that we call upon our bishop to excommunicate him.
1:29:06 > 1:29:09What good would that do?
1:29:09 > 1:29:14Have you no faith in the power of our Holy Mother Church?
1:29:14 > 1:29:18This is not a matter of faith. There's a murderer out there!
1:29:18 > 1:29:21And we must catch him by using our God-given wits.
1:29:21 > 1:29:25I say, until we submit to Mother Church,
1:29:25 > 1:29:28these killings will not cease.
1:29:28 > 1:29:31Oh... Ah! Agh!
1:29:43 > 1:29:48Citizens of Grasse, we hereby declare that this murderer,
1:29:48 > 1:29:51this demon in our midst,
1:29:51 > 1:29:55has incurred the sentence of excommunication!
1:29:57 > 1:30:03Not only has this depraved monster robbed us of our daughters,
1:30:03 > 1:30:08the young and fair blossom of the city, and by his wanton acts,
1:30:08 > 1:30:12has brought our trade, our livelihood,
1:30:12 > 1:30:18our very existence to the brink of eternal darkness!
1:30:19 > 1:30:21We therefore declare
1:30:21 > 1:30:24that this vile viper,
1:30:24 > 1:30:27this ignominious carbuncle,
1:30:27 > 1:30:30this extricable evil in our midsts,
1:30:30 > 1:30:36shall henceforth be solemnly banned from our Holy Presence,
1:30:36 > 1:30:43rejected from the Communion of Holy Mother Church as a disciple of Satan!
1:30:43 > 1:30:45Slayer of souls...
1:30:45 > 1:30:47Stand clear! Stand clear!
1:30:47 > 1:30:51..defected... outsider of the faith.
1:30:51 > 1:30:56A necromancer, a diabolist, a sorcerer,
1:30:56 > 1:30:59and a damned heretic!
1:30:59 > 1:31:01Oh, God,
1:31:01 > 1:31:04in thy most merciful spirit,
1:31:04 > 1:31:08bring down thunderbolts upon his head!
1:31:08 > 1:31:12And may the Devil make stope of his bones. Amen!
1:31:12 > 1:31:16My Lord! My Lord! It's a miracle.
1:31:16 > 1:31:19He's been caught! He's been caught!
1:31:21 > 1:31:24My Lord, the fiend has been caught.
1:31:24 > 1:31:28In the city of Grenoble. He's confessed to everything.
1:31:28 > 1:31:30He's confessed to everything!
1:31:32 > 1:31:35Hallelujah! HALLELUJAH!
1:31:35 > 1:31:39- CONGREGATION CHEERS - Thanks be to God.
1:31:39 > 1:31:44And we thank him for listening to our prayers and answering them.
1:31:44 > 1:31:48Amen!
1:31:48 > 1:31:52ALL: Amen! Amen!
1:32:05 > 1:32:09Just read the report. This cannot possibly be the same man.
1:32:12 > 1:32:16He confessed to everything, including the murders in Grasse.
1:32:16 > 1:32:20Yes, under torture.
1:32:20 > 1:32:22Look, here!
1:32:22 > 1:32:27He admits to strangling his victims. Pulling out their hair and ravaging them.
1:32:27 > 1:32:29The girls of Grasse were killed by a single blow
1:32:29 > 1:32:33to the back of their heads. Their hair was carefully cropped
1:32:33 > 1:32:36- and not one of them was violated. - Antoine...
1:32:36 > 1:32:38we're all happy it's over.
1:32:39 > 1:32:41Let it go.
1:32:43 > 1:32:46MUSIC PLAYS
1:33:26 > 1:33:29- Papa, what's the matter? - We're going home, now!
1:33:29 > 1:33:31But why? I'm enjoying myself!
1:33:31 > 1:33:33- Don't argue with me. - Stop it! I'm grown-up...
1:33:40 > 1:33:42Laura!
1:33:43 > 1:33:45Laura!
1:33:47 > 1:33:49Out of my way!
1:33:49 > 1:33:51Laura!
1:34:45 > 1:34:48- Laura!- Papa!
1:34:54 > 1:34:56I'm so sorry.
1:35:08 > 1:35:12I know you must think me a very foolish man,
1:35:12 > 1:35:15but try to understand.
1:35:15 > 1:35:19- You're all I have left. - You don't need to explain, Papa.
1:35:19 > 1:35:22- If anything would happen to you... - I know.
1:35:22 > 1:35:25But you must stop worrying about me all the time.
1:35:45 > 1:35:47Sweet dreams, my love.
1:35:50 > 1:35:53Sweet dreams, Papa.
1:36:46 > 1:36:47Ah...
1:36:50 > 1:36:51Laura!
1:37:01 > 1:37:04Papa, what's the matter?
1:37:08 > 1:37:10Did you open the window?
1:37:11 > 1:37:14No. Why?
1:37:16 > 1:37:21Have this letter dispatched to the Marquis de Montesquieu immediately.
1:37:21 > 1:37:23Marie, quickly!
1:37:47 > 1:37:49HE SNIFFS
1:38:07 > 1:38:11Stay on the road north, into the mountains.
1:38:28 > 1:38:30- Did Monsieur Richis leave? - He did.
1:38:30 > 1:38:33- Which way?- North.
1:38:39 > 1:38:42You sure it wasn't south?
1:38:42 > 1:38:45I saw them with my own eyes! Why do you want to know?
1:38:47 > 1:38:50I said north, north!
1:38:52 > 1:38:53Grenouille?
1:38:55 > 1:38:57Grenouille!

1:39:26 > 1:39:28Good God!
1:40:23 > 1:40:24Good afternoon, monsieur.
1:40:24 > 1:40:28Good afternoon. Do you have anyone else staying here?
1:40:28 > 1:40:31- No, monsieur.- Then I would like to take all your rooms for the night.
1:40:31 > 1:40:34It will be our pleasure, monsieur.
1:40:34 > 1:40:39And tomorrow, at first light, we wish to be ferried to the Iles de Lerins.
1:40:39 > 1:40:42- It's deserted except for a few monks.- I'm aware of that.
1:40:42 > 1:40:45Very well, monsieur.
1:40:49 > 1:40:51Our finest room, mademoiselle.
1:40:54 > 1:40:55With a superb view of the sea.
1:40:55 > 1:40:57One moment.
1:41:03 > 1:41:06Very well.
1:41:06 > 1:41:08Do you have a room next to this?
1:41:08 > 1:41:10Yes, but the view cannot be compared to...
1:41:10 > 1:41:12I have no interest in the view.
1:41:29 > 1:41:32Oh, my God!
1:41:55 > 1:41:56Monsieur.
1:42:03 > 1:42:07Papa, will you please tell me now what's happening?
1:42:07 > 1:42:10You haven't said a word all day.
1:42:10 > 1:42:13Why all this secrecy?
1:42:16 > 1:42:18Last night, I dreamt you were dead.
1:42:18 > 1:42:22Murdered like all the other girls.
1:42:30 > 1:42:34The truth is, I'm convinced that the killer is still here somewhere.
1:42:36 > 1:42:38All of his victims were young and beautiful,
1:42:38 > 1:42:42and who is there more beautiful than you, Laura?
1:42:42 > 1:42:46Whatever his insane scheme, it will surely be incomplete without you.
1:42:54 > 1:42:57I've written to the Marquis accepting his proposal
1:42:57 > 1:42:58of marriage on your behalf
1:42:58 > 1:43:02and requesting that it take place as soon as possible.
1:43:02 > 1:43:06Until then, you stay in the safety of the monastery.
1:43:07 > 1:43:10And all this, because you had a bad dream?
1:43:10 > 1:43:14- I've made my decision.- But I don't know whether I even love him!
1:43:14 > 1:43:17- I'm afraid the circumstances leave us no choice.- Papa!
1:43:17 > 1:43:18It's all arranged, Laura.
1:48:03 > 1:48:06HE CRIES AND WAILS
1:48:54 > 1:48:57On your feet! Hands in the air!
1:48:57 > 1:48:59GUNSHOT
1:49:40 > 1:49:43Why did you kill my daughter?
1:49:47 > 1:49:48Why?
1:49:51 > 1:49:53I needed her.
1:50:18 > 1:50:20Why did you kill my daughter?
1:50:24 > 1:50:26I just...
1:50:28 > 1:50:30..needed her.
1:50:38 > 1:50:39Very well.
1:50:41 > 1:50:44But remember this...
1:50:49 > 1:50:51I'll be looking at you...
1:50:54 > 1:50:57..when you're laid on the cross and the 12 blows
1:50:57 > 1:50:59are crashing down on your limbs.
1:51:02 > 1:51:07When the crowd has finally tired of your screams and wandered home.
1:51:09 > 1:51:13I will climb up through your blood...
1:51:14 > 1:51:17..and sit beside you.
1:51:18 > 1:51:20I will look deep into your eyes...
1:51:23 > 1:51:25..and drop by drop
1:51:28 > 1:51:32I will trickle my disgust into them...
1:51:33 > 1:51:38..like burning acid.
1:51:38 > 1:51:39Until...
1:51:43 > 1:51:44..finally...
1:51:47 > 1:51:49..you perish.
1:52:23 > 1:52:25What do you think they'll do to him?
1:52:25 > 1:52:29Apparently, they'll break every bone in his body with an iron bar.
1:52:34 > 1:52:36CROWD SQUABBLE
1:52:41 > 1:52:43Look, there he comes!
1:52:43 > 1:52:49- CROWD ROAR - To hell with him, where he belongs!
1:53:07 > 1:53:09CHEERS
1:53:44 > 1:53:46Unchain the prisoner.
1:53:57 > 1:54:00That's enough.
1:54:00 > 1:54:02Let him be brought to the scaffold.
1:54:06 > 1:54:08What's that?
1:54:48 > 1:54:54Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritu Sancti, amen.
1:55:19 > 1:55:21Is he coming? What is it?
1:57:06 > 1:57:09This man is innocent.
1:57:12 > 1:57:14He didn't do it. It's impossible!
1:57:14 > 1:57:17- He's innocent!- He's innocent!
1:58:06 > 1:58:09CROWD GASP
1:58:36 > 1:58:37An angel!
1:58:37 > 1:58:42This is no man! This is an angel!
1:59:08 > 1:59:11ALL CHEER
2:04:28 > 2:04:30Grenouille!
2:04:35 > 2:04:38You can't fool me!
2:05:24 > 2:05:27Forgive me!
2:05:33 > 2:05:34My son!
2:06:34 > 2:06:39The people of Grasse awoke to a terrible hangover.
2:06:39 > 2:06:42For many of them, the experience was so ghastly,
2:06:42 > 2:06:47so completely inexplicable and incompatible with their morals,
2:06:47 > 2:06:51that they literally erased it from their memories.
2:06:51 > 2:06:54The town council was in session by the afternoon,
2:06:54 > 2:06:57and an order was passed to the police lieutenant
2:06:57 > 2:07:01to immediately begin fresh investigations into the murders.
2:07:01 > 2:07:04The following day, Dominique Druot was arrested,
2:07:04 > 2:07:06since it was in his backyard
2:07:06 > 2:07:10that the clothes and hair of all the victims had been found.
2:07:10 > 2:07:14After 14 hours of torture, Druot confessed to everything.
2:07:16 > 2:07:19With that, the case was closed.
2:07:22 > 2:07:27By then, Grenouille was already halfway back to Paris.
2:07:30 > 2:07:32He still had enough perfume left
2:07:32 > 2:07:35to enslave the whole world, if he so chose.
2:07:35 > 2:07:38He could walk to Versailles and have the King kiss his feet.
2:07:38 > 2:07:41He could write the Pope a perfumed letter
2:07:41 > 2:07:43and reveal himself as a new Messiah.
2:07:43 > 2:07:47He could do all this and more if he wanted to.
2:07:47 > 2:07:49He possessed a power stronger than
2:07:49 > 2:07:52the power of money, or terror, or death...
2:07:52 > 2:07:57the invincible power to command the love of mankind.
2:08:02 > 2:08:06There was only one thing the perfume could not do.
2:08:06 > 2:08:09It could not turn him into a person who could love
2:08:09 > 2:08:12and be loved like everyone else.
2:08:12 > 2:08:14So, to hell with it, he thought.
2:08:14 > 2:08:16To hell with the world.
2:08:16 > 2:08:20With the perfume, with himself.
2:08:22 > 2:08:26On 25th June, 1766, around 11 o'clock at night,
2:08:26 > 2:08:31Grenouille entered the city through the Porte d'Orleans.
2:08:31 > 2:08:33And like a sleepwalker,
2:08:33 > 2:08:37his olfactory memories drew him back to the place where he was born.
2:09:55 > 2:09:59An angel!
2:10:00 > 2:10:02I love you.
2:10:47 > 2:10:52Within no time, Jean-Baptiste Grenouille had disappeared
2:10:52 > 2:10:54from the face of the earth.
2:10:54 > 2:10:59When they had finished, they felt a virginal glow of happiness.
2:10:59 > 2:11:02For the first time in their lives,
2:11:02 > 2:11:06they believed that they had done something...
2:11:06 > 2:11:08purely out of love.
2:11:37 > 2:11:41Hey, over here! Look!
2:11:47 > 2:11:51Let's take 'em away. You can wear them.
2:11:51 > 2:11:53THEY LAUGH
