It's Liebskind's pen.
:48:05
He left it on the table.
:48:07
- You have to give it back.
- You don't understand.

:48:11
He didn't forget it.
:48:14
He meant to give it to me.
I'm sure of it.

:48:19
I was 10 when he came to Kovno
for the championship.

:48:23
He won.
:48:25
Afterwards, he agreed to play
a simultaneous match...

:48:27
against the club's best players.
:48:29
I was the only one to beat him.
:48:33
He was fantastic.
:48:36
He asked for a rematch...
:48:39
as if I were a real player
and notjust some kid.

:48:43
He won, of course,
and afterwards he asked me...

:48:47
"Do you want one last game?"
:48:49
I said, "No. I want your secrets."
:48:53
He laughed.
:48:58
Play to win or I'll slap you.
:49:02
For two hours
he gave me a lesson in chess.

:49:08
Me.
:49:10
Just me.
:49:13
And I've forgotten none of it.
:49:15
It was impossible to forget.
:49:19
Tomorrow get him one just like this...
:49:25
but in gold.
:49:27
You see?
:49:30
A very beautiful pen.
:49:34
That way we'll be even.
:49:40
Damn pen.
Where could I have lost it?

:49:45
In the car.
:49:47
The car or the boat.
We have to go see.

:49:51
Have you seen my pen?
:49:53
We'd like to speak with you,
Akiva Israelovitch.

:49:55
Your attitude when they expelled
Professor Polotin.

:49:59
Your passivity and silence
could be misinterpreted.
