I can't say more.

Of course. And I hope that you understand that we also have rules.

Our treatments are more effective...

When the exposure is limited to the stress of the modern world.

Director Volmer is very strict.

-Do hydrotherapy? -Proper.

It is far to come only by water.

The sanatorium is built on an ancient aquifer...

offering unique rejuvenating properties.

Rebuilt.

After the fire.

Yes.

History is full of darkness.

If you want to leave a note...

with pleasure I will give it to Mr. Pembroke.

Mr. Peterson?

I understand that your work is very important...

and it is obvious that it is a very busy man.

But if you have time between the acu aerobics and jacuzzi sessions...

to inform Mr. Pembroke...

you have a visitor with urgent information...

I'd appreciate it.

The option of leaving him a note...

that you slip under your door...

and maybe read before his morning massage...

I am afraid that it is not viable.

6,500 km traveled to get here.

There is a flight to New York today...

and I want Mr. Pembroke and I are on it.

You want to take Mr. Pembroke back to New York?

Is there a problem?

Of course, the decision is Mr. Pembroke.

It is a patient, not a prisoner.

It will be treated until 7 pm

If you return after that time, you can see it.

Thanks for your understanding.

Already you are going?

How young so handsome.

And your friend?

- What time is the last train? - At 10.

Take me to a hotel. I make a call.

Cute girl.

What's up?

How long are you going?

Just a few days.

Do we expect someone else?

There is no one else.

He slept well?

I do not remember having slept better.

Is the mountain air.

Sr. Lockhart...

soy Henrich Volmer.

I am the director of this sanatorium.

How long have I been here?

Three days.

Heavens!

Has luck. It was a fracture without complications.

Even though I feel partly responsible.

Villagers say they should hunt the deer ...

but I can not hurt these innocent creatures.

After all, they were here long before us.

I need to call to New York.

I took the liberty to inform his office about the accident, if that is concerned.

They agreed ...

where businesses can not wait and your health.

Hank Green said that?

Even the acting director of a firm in Well Street ...

You can object to the consequences of a serious car accident.

We do not have many visitors.

Most of my patients have done extraordinary things.

Untold wealth ...

directing vast empires ...

but at a terrible cost.

Nobody cares about them.

Mr. Pembroke is lucky.

It has you.

Try to relax.

Have fun.

It is at the foot of the Swiss Alps ...

one of the most beautiful places in the world.

Consider it a forced vacation.

Although Americans are not good for vacation, do you?

Remember, you are at high altitude.

It will take acclimated ...

so please drink plenty of water.

Believe me, it's in good hands.

He is lost?

Yes.

I suppose.

Where should I be?

I do not know.

First name?

Pembroke.

Roland Pembroke.

Here it is.

Pembroke. Room 609. Hammam.

Clear.

Sr. Pembroke...

steam baths are there.

You can not go in there.

Not dressed like that.

Pembroke?

It is Mr. Pembroke, right?

I know it?

My name Lockhart. I sent Mr. Green.

I thought they would send Morris.

Morris is dead.

A heart attack.

I come to take him back to New York.

You want me to go?

Only for a few days.

I can not do this.

Why not?

I'm not well.

I see well.

Because he is blind.

I was too.

But soon you'll see.

You can be sure that will take care of you.

I am not patient.

What happened to your leg?

Mr. Pembroke, the situation in New York is very serious.

It is no longer my concern.

The manager says I should not get into business affairs.

Already he met director Volmer?

This morning.

It's a great man.

Friendly.

Not like other doctors.

Sr. Pembroke...

This obsession with blood.

They understand it all wrong. You know that the body is 65% water?

Our fluids must be purified.

the rumor that fusion danger filtered.

Shares plummet.

Lockhart?

Not familiar with Henry Lockhart, do you?

It was my father.

Did you know him?

We started working together.

It was terrible what happened to him.

They say he left a child in the car.

I do not remember, frankly.

What we did not deserve him.

What does it mean?

He was an honest man.

And so we destroy it.

People destroy every day.

You have what it takes to survive, or not.

I guess you do.

Why this came up here?

Why ambition?

Then you are more serious than us.

What are you talking about?

Of the illness.

His father saw the truth long before the rest of us.

That all this effort is meaningless.

We've all done terrible things.

Many terrible things.

How much it is quoted?

What?

The action! How much it is quoted?

- Eight and a half at the close on Friday. - Parasites.

You should already be lower.

We all are concerned about your welfare, sir.

Just a few days.

There are irregularities in some accounts ...

to be clarified before the fusion.

And I guess someone must bear the responsibility.

Something like that.

Then I go through my stuff.

I need a car to get to the station.

Can you order one, please?

I'll see what I can do.

That the priest hanged himself Baron.

- What does it say? - Sees it?

The church should have been there ...

where it is now the building. I'm sure.

People used to come from afar ...

by miracles attributed to water.

There are things that do not change.

Wonderful.

But it's terrible. So much violence.

That you desire to marry your sister.

Sister?

Yes, he sought the purity of lineage, right?

How fascinating!

I must investigate.

How nice to see you standing!

I heard about the accident.

Comes from the US, is not it, sir ...?

Lockhart.

Frank Hill. Stockholm.

And he is Mr. Nair London.

But I was born in Bombay.

And he met Ms. Watkins, our amateur historian.

Of course, how rude.

Victoria Wtkins. 40 years at Xerox.

Why not about a chair?

We need a fourth player.

Watch out. As a good Brahmin, he cheats.

Coming from a venture capitalist, I take it as a compliment.

I'm about to go to New York with Mr. Pembroke.

So...

feel better?

Enough.

I guess that is very good news.

Is not it true, Mr. Nair?

Very good news.

Ms. Watkins ...

When treatment.

Yeah right. Gladly, Mr. Lockhart.

Good trip.

Is there something in the water?

In the background.

I see nothing

Did it hurt?

I do not remember.

It's better that way.

Te vi.

The other day.

Are you a patient here?

You're much younger than everyone else.

Director Volmer says I'm a special case.

And you?

You come for the cure?

No.

In fact, I was leaving.

Nobody ever goes.

What do you say?

Why would they leave?

Yes I understand.

Did you get what you came to seek?

I came to bring someone back to New York.

So yes.

Does he want to go?

Not really.

The song you were singing.

Where did you learn?

I have to leave.

What is your name?

Hannah.
