Dangerous Moves Page #4

What do you think?

Zionist bastard!

You think I refused the doctor's care

here to please you?

That I had you brought here

so you could preach to me?

You'll do as I say.

You're the only one who can do it.

That's why you're here.

What you ask is unworthy of a friend.

Ten days. I want to beat that kid.

It's my life and it's my hide!

It might be too late.

No, it's not too late.

I can beat him. I know it.

Quiet now.

Akiva, I'm not a miracle worker.

I'll need some other drugs.

Will he be able to play?

If he tolerates the treatment,

in three days he'll look like he can.

But not for long.

Ten days at most.

We have to postpone the match.

Out of the question.

Liebskind's illness must be kept secret.

Fromm has to ask

for the postponement.

The beauty of the plan

lies in that detail.

The nutcracker.

Pavius is waiting for you.

You're lying.

I know you brought me here

to make him lose the match...

and that you're counting

on the element of surprise.

The element of surprise isn't necessary.

just preferable.

Get out.

You'll no to him.

You need him.

You have no choice.

Neither escape...

nor suicide...

is a solution.

I hate you.

And so you should.

Thank you for coming, Colonel.

She's locked herself in her room.

You're making a simple operation

very difficult.

She'll crack for sure.

But I don't know when.

Never leave anything to chance.

Never.

We'll make our move at noon.

Mrs. Fromm?

Federal police.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

We're here to help you.

Our department has learned

from very reliable sources...

that your life is in danger.

We're taking you under our protection.

Where are you taking me?

judge Dombert has drawn up

a request for political asylum.

An unavoidable legal formality.

- But where will you take me?

- To your husband.

You'll be safe there.

He's already under our protection.

Protect me here, in this room.

No, madam. That's impossible.

Come look.

Come, Mrs. Fromm.

We'd have to put two armed men...

on each roof round the clock.

I don't have the manpower.

They don't need to kill me, you know.

You're all the same.

Promise me I won't see him

until the match is over.

Mrs. Fromm, think about it.

If they were the ones who warned us,

they can also inform the press...

and your husband.

They may already have done it.

Trust us.

They've won.

Everything will be fine.

Pavius will never forgive me.

Let's no, comrade.

Tonight I'll be world champion.

One hour before the match. This is

unacceptable. We were about to leave.

Very well.

Good-bye, Mr. President,

and thank you.

They've asked to have

the match postponed.

Have faith, Pavius.

Do you love me?

Say it.

You're here.

Now I feel strong.

I will be world champion.

We'll have a child after this.

Don't be sad anymore.

Sad?

"Depressive and antisocial"

they called it at the hospital.

How long did you stay there?

One year...

twenty-seven days...

and eight hours.

They wanted me to divorce you.

But I didn't want to.

I'm not crazy.

Of course you're not.

Don't be sad anymore.

Everything will be fine.

A Rui Lopez? What do you think?

I don't know.

I'm not thinking about that.

No, that wouldn't work.

We need a more sophisticated opening,

one that's rarely used.

Pushkin.

Goethe.

Do as you like, Akiva.

I need your intuition, Henia.

I don't know anymore.

You're right. We need a variation

from before the modernist revolution.

- Some forgotten pearl.

- Stop it, Akiva!

It's too late.

Pretend, Henia.

You must always pretend.

What is that strange opening?

An old museum piece...

the Ponziani.

The bastards did their homework.

Grandmaster Liebskind wins Game 11.

Liebskind 4, Fromm 5.

You think I'm going

to make you lose.

Say it.

Shout it!

But do something!

Don't no.

There's so much to tell you, Pavius.

But I've forgotten it all.

Something's wrong.

I'm all confused.

Make one last effort.

Talk to me.

Soon we'll have

all the time in the world to talk.

Right now I must work.

I must win this match.

You no longer hate enough

to win on your own.

Try to relax.

Try and sleep.

It's almost over.

Here.

Take this.

Sleep.

Everything will be all right.

It will soon be over.

Bastard.

Bastard.

Leave him alone.

Let him withdraw.

He's going to die.

At least let him die in peace.

Akiva, postpone this match.

Don't give me orders.

Look.

Give me that shot.

I'll be fine.

Check.

Check.

Mate!

Mate!

Grandmaster Liebskind wins Game 12.

Liebskind 5, Fromm 5.

Anton, I don't feel well at all.

Let us through.

Very good, Pavius.

You're getting mean again.

You'll beat him.

Come with me.

What's the matter?

Grandmaster Liebskind

is in the hospital.

Mr. Kerossian has just informed us

he has withdrawn.

Congratulations.

You are now world champion.

Is it serious?

There won't be a rematch?

I don't think so.

Unless you insist, we've decided

to suspend the usual ceremony...

given the circumstances.

Here is your check.

$100,000.

With our congratulations.

I told you they'd kill him

to keep me from beating him.

That's absurd, Pavius.

Absurd.

Go now. You won't be able to

if you wait.

Get out of here.

I don't want you to watch me die.

Go to Jerusalem.

You've always been a zealot

deep down.

You see?

I haven't forgotten everything.

He needs you.

I'm a Soviet citizen.

I request political asylum.

I'm a Soviet citizen.

I request political asylum.

I'd like you to come with me.

I'm going back to the hospital.

I need the drugs.

Everything inside me is chaos.

I'm sick. It's true.

I'll only do you harm.

Nothing but harm.

Listen, Marina.

It's over.

I'm world champion.

We have all the time in the world.

They won. They destroyed me

so I could destroy you.

They won.

I've been expecting you.

You start.
