All language subtitles for Scream Of The Demon Lover English

Madam.

Thank you.

The inn here
has excellent accommodation.

Can I...?

Thank you,
but I'm not staying, actually.

You see, I'm on my way somewhere else.

Well, in that case,
allow me to wish you bon voyage.

Thank you again.

Ah.

That's four now.

Even the plague only killed two.

I say the only answer
is to burn that castle to the ground!

Let's pray that this is the last one.

- Another one.
- Ghastly.

Good morning, kind sirs.

Good morning to you, miss.

And can I be of service to you?

Yes, I'm looking for a driver and wagon

to take me to Zidia.

- To where?
- What did you say?

The Zidia Estate.

- The Zidia Estate?
- You mean you don't

- know of it?
- Zidia Estate?

- Zidia Castle? Baron Dalmar?
- No, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm not a driver, miss.

I'm sorry, miss,
our carriages have all been hired out.

If you're busy,
then let's make it tomorrow.

- No, really.
- No, it's out

of the question. Sorry.

Well, if it's a matter of cost,
I'm willing to pay.

Sorry, miss, I can't help you.

I'll report both of you, you realize!

Does one of you own a cart?

And if so, could you take me to Zidia?

I must get there by tomorrow morning.

Hey, I'll pay you!

I have plenty of money.
Come on, take it!

Let go of my hand.

A very pretty one.

My name is Feodor.

I own a wagon.

Not too comfy,
but sturdy enough to make it to Zidia.

Follow me, if you will.

Inspector Zarick.

Mm-hmm.

- Good, I'm the mayor.
- Hmm.

Allow me to introduce our judge,
our doctor,

and our Chief of Police.

It's a good thing
you've finally arrived, sir.

There was another one, just last night.

It's the sixth one since the death
last spring of Igor,

the seventh Baron Dalmar.

You can let go now.

Yes, miss.

We must take action
before it gets completely out of hand.

We will, only I'd prefer
we didn't discuss it in public.

- Of course, of course.
- How thoughtless of me.

Won't you come this way?

Last spring, there was a fire

in Baron Igor's laboratory.

Some say he was on the point
of discovering

something that could
make you live forever.

If you ask me, he was bonkers.

Anyhow, one mornin'
as he was experimentin' away, boom!

When they found the good Baron,

he looked like the leftovers of a roast,

what got left in the oven.

But I was hired to work
for this Baron Dalmar.

There's the younger brother, Janos.

He's the new Baron, he is,
and the devil take him, I say.

Why do you say that?

What's wrong?

Did you see the funeral today?

Well, yes, but...

- Heard the deceased...
- It was a young girl.

They say that Baron Janos
took her by force,

and when he'd had his will,
he set his beasts upon her.

Torn to shreds, she was.
The other girls, too.

Everyone the Baron's
had was found like that.

But that's ridiculous.

I mean, to believe someone would have

actually committed such a deed.

Oh, I saw the dead girls,
and as everyone says,

when Janos got the Dalmar's
title and money,

he also inherited their madness.

There's those that think the fire
wasn't an accident.

They say it was Janos started it

while his brother wasn't looking.

If you're trying to frighten me,

please don't waste your breath.

No, it's all true,
as true as my name's Feodor,

as true as the fact
that I'm deliverin' you

into the jaws a' hell.

That's enough!

Now who's wastin' breath, eh?

Lovely, innit?

This is where
you're gonna rest in peace.

You'll see, ducky.

You'll fall in love
with the young Baron,

like all the girls,
and like all the girls,

afterwards you'll be put to death.

I said that's enough!

Now, will you stop acting like a...

A merciless death.
Those monsters'll tear ya apart.

Just think of yer delicate flesh

hangin' from their fangs,
and as they take each bite,

think how you'll pray for it to end.

Enough!

- Stop it!
- I'll save ya, I'll save ya!

Oh, you're so lovely, let me know ya!

They say in the Bible.

It'd be lots of fun.

Now, you won't be sorry
about it afterwards.

The devil take his soul!

- Good afternoon.
- Who are you?

Ivanna Trinka Rakowsky.

Rakowsky?

Have you papers of any kind?

I was sent by the Anton Agency
in Zuchstadt.

I should've been here yesterday,

but there was an accident.

That's all right. Come in, will you?

Where is your father?

My father?

Yes, Dr. Rakowsky.

Dr. Rak...?
That's me, Dr. Ivanna Rakowsky.

The agency got me from the university.

I was hired to be an assistant here.

I suggest you try going somewhere else

to peddle your wares.

I know nothing about a work contract.

If you want, I'll show it to you.

It's in here...
Where is it? Ah, here it is.

I know what's the matter.

You don't think a woman could ever,

ever do so cold man's work.

Well, this contract
doesn't say anything about sex.

- Here, read it.
- I'm very sorry,

but you are not needed here.

- Now, please leave.
- Leave that alone!

Get out.

- I'll take it!
- Get out!

- You're not welcome!
- Leave it alone! Let go!

- Leave, leave!
- Let go!

Olga!

- Such a stubborn woman.
- I can't tell you, Janos!

She refuses to go away!

It's late, and this storm
could keep up all night.

I don't want to seem unkind
to the poor woman.

She can sleep here tonight.

In the morning, after breakfast,

take her back to the village
and make sure

she gets the 11 o'clock coach.

- But how can...
- Oh, of course.

Give her a month's pay, would you?

To compensate her
for the trouble she's been put to.

Although we haven't met formally,

I suppose you, sir,
are the Baron Dalmar.

That is quite correct.

Then I suppose you are
the one who signed this,

and I would like to suppose
that when one

sets a bargain,
one intends living up to it.

Make it two months salary.

I don't want your salary
unless I can earn it.

I took my degree
at the University of Uth

with top honors.

You applied for a good biochemist
and you got one.

I'm sorry,
but it's best if you leave here.

If you're afraid my presence here

will feed the rumors in the village,

I would like to make it clear
that I never listen to gossip.

And besides, it's not my concern anyway.

Three months salary.

I won't go.

You rang, madam?

Our guest will be staying
in the Green Room.

Dinner is in one hour.

If you want a bath,
Cristiana will draw it for you.

This way, please, miss.

I won't stand for this, Janos.

I know what you're doing.

All that talk of how women
are dangerous to have around!

You knew the chemist
would be a woman from the start,

didn't you?

Well, I'd like you to remember,

I'm not housekeeper in this castle
only for what I get paid!

You're free to go when you like.

No, I'm not, Janos.

I've waited through so much,

through all your tawdry affairs
with those village girls...

Because I know that you love me,

that someday you'll come back to me.

You're a typically conceited woman,
Olga.

Are you never going to realize
that it's over and finished?

No, it's not over!
I won't allow that vixen

to take my place here.
No, no, no, no!

You're hysterical.

And what I said about women,
I meant that.

Women are much too curious.

She leaves tomorrow.

Cristiana.

Cristiana, I'd like to get out.

Bring the towel, would you?

What's the matter?

Haven't you ever seen a lady
take a bath?

Not naked.

Don't you take your bath in the nude?

Well, almost.

Cristiana,
what do you think of the Baron?

Well, so marvelous, so much of a man!

It sounds like you're in love with him.

I better go now.

A penny.

Hmm?

A penny for your thoughts.

I was watching the hounds.

You like them?

They're splendid animals.

I've always had a passion for dogs,
all kinds.

By the way,
can you tell me what those marks are?

I don't know.

Every once in a while
they come home marked like that.

My horse, too.

I imagine it's some sort
of a poisonous plant.

- Now, where...?
- They must brush against it

when we go for a run in the woods.

Baron, I think those dogs
have been gone at with a whip.

What a stupid thing to suggest!

It's not stupid, actually.

I tell you those are cuts.

Are you saying I mistreat my animals?

Well, somebody does.

Sir, we've finished our work.

It's already 10 o'clock,
and it's a bad road

with just the moon.

Cristiana, first show
Miss Rakowsky to her chambers.

Yes.

Don't you and your father
live in the castle?

No.

You're the first
that's decided to sleep here

since Baron Igor was killed.

And Olga?

Oh, well, she's part of the family.

They say she was the Baron's mistress,

but not any longer.

Where are my clothes?

In the wardrobe, miss.

That was silly of you.

Now I'll have to redo
the whole bag before I go.

Oh, no,
the Baron said to unpack the bag.

He said you were to stay on,
at least for awhile.

Thinks he can dance me
on a string like a puppet, does he?

Well, we'll soon see about that.

I'll laugh at your funeral.

Did you order Cristiana
to unpack my belongings?

I find that very high-handed of you.

What on earth
makes you think you can...?

Are you all right?

What's the matter?

Oh, I thought you were...

I decided to engage you, Doctor.

Oh, dear, what a pity.

You see, I've made up my mind to go.

No.

You're not going to leave here.

As a woman, yes, you might,

and everyone would assume

that you'd been frightened away
by the village gossip.

But on the other hand,
as you are a chemist

and committed to that proud profession,
you'll stay.

What are you trying to say?

Come with me.

I've something to show you.

And afterwards, if you still want to go,

I'll take you back
to the village myself.

I'm not sure what stories
you've heard so far,

but I presume they include my brother

and the circumstances
surrounding his death.

At the time of the fire,
Igor was working on a project

to discover the origin of life.

Ah, yes, like making gold out of lead.

Don't tell me you believe
such a ridiculous idea.

Doctor, ignorance and disbelief

have never once halted
the march of science.

If you'll recall,
Michel Servet was burned at the stake

for having said that blood
circulates in the body.

That's right.

He was, but surely...

Now just step through here.

Do you mind telling me
where I'm being taken?

To my laboratory.

The fundamental principle
on which my brother

based his experiments
is that matter is never destroyed,

it's only transformed.

Water evaporates, for example,

and takes the form of clouds,

and when the vapor condenses,

it falls back to earth as rain.

As he eats nature's products,

man receives nutrition from a series

of chemical elements.

Later, man dies,
and his remains fertilize the earth,

which produces new food.

If that's all fact,
then why should we believe

that what's been destroyed by fire

must be lost to us forever?

Well, I don't,
and if it takes the rest of my life,

I swear I'll find a formula
for the regeneration

of carbonized matter.

That's why I sent for a good chemist.

But don't you realize
all the difficulties

such a project holds?

Say it has remote possibilities.

Still, with only the two of us
starting at zero...

No, Doctor.

Our point of departure is infinity.

The research of four generations
is in that book,

and it's up to us
to complete the puzzle.

Between all those formulas
and the end result

which I'm seeking,
there's but a tiny wall,

which you and I will break apart.

We'll try, Baron.

Although I fear it's too late

to do your brother any good.

We'll see.

Once, that was Igor.

This is all that's left now.

What's that liquid?

Alcohol mixed
with a special compound solution.

I'll give you the formula later.

But you're dealing
with dead matter, Baron.

It doesn't possess
any regenerative powers.

Our goal is to find a catalyst

that will cause regeneration.

Come along.

I'd like to start experimenting
as soon as possible,

and it's of the utmost importance

that I have a collaborator
who's well-acquainted

with the latest advances in chemistry.

Science is moving ahead so rapidly

that it's almost impossible
for an amateur,

even an expert one like myself,
to keep pace.

And this is where
you will be able to help.

Until tomorrow, Baron.

Then you will stay?

I think you already know my answer.

Thank you.

Good night.

Good night.

No.

Oh!

What did you bring me here for?

Who are you?

What do you want?

Who are you?

As long as you don't resist,

nothing will happen to you.

You must obey me in every way.

Do you understand?

You must obey!

Obey, or accept the consequences!

Once again, what did you do to her?

I never done nothin' to her!

And you got nothin'
you can charge against me, neither!

Oh, we haven't?

You say you drove the lady
to the castle.

Did you really?

Isn't it true you stopped the cart,

and then raped her, killed her,
and buried the body?

You're a bloody liar! I never killed...

I mighta asked for a kiss or two,

but nothin' else.

You say that she was killed?

I say the Baron done it.

All right, I did try to force her.

But I mucked it up.

Do you swear that
what you've just said is the truth?

Of course.

Then you're willing
to put it in writing?

Yeah, I mean, I don't know how to write.

It's already been written.

Let's have your thumb.

Now am I free to go?

No.

Not quite, Feodor.

Your Honor, I believe this statement

spells out attempted rape.

You filthy son of an 'ore!

Penalty for this
is six months in prison.

- Oof!
- Hey!

Get him out of here. Remove him!

I don't think he was lying,

in which case,
Miss Rakowsky is at this moment

a guest in the castle,

and we have no cause for alarm, have we?

Well, if she is there,
we've all the more reason

to be apprehensive of her safety
and her well-being.

Gentlemen, I am only too aware

that the murderer must not be allowed

the opportunity
to commit another murder.

But to press clear-cut charges
against somebody,

based only on conjecture
and superstition

and lacking any evidence at all,

gentlemen, think!

Superstition?

Sir, if you could've seen
what was done to those girls,

you wouldn't call it superstition.

I saw lots of murders
when stationed in the city,

but never one that made me vomit.

Let's say you arrest Janos Dalmar
as the murderer,

and say, for fun,
that you bring him up for trial.

Just what would you base your case on?

Here we have a judge.

Let's pretend we're in court.

How would you go about
stating the prosecution's case?

First of all, absolutely all the girls

in the district are...

Well, they're, uh...

Amorously inclined towards the Baron?

Precisely.

A jury might consider it relevant,

but is it evidence?

Not by any means.

Secondly,
each girl was horribly lacerated

by what nearly everybody here
says looked like,

like, well, like fangs.

And the Baron possesses two ferocious,

vicious man-eaters.

And so?

So the case is a simple one.

The only logical conclusion being

the Baron is as mad as a hoot-owl.

He's a monstrous lunatic, whose one love

is to rape a girl and then...

Halt!

Doctor, explain to your colleagues

what the autopsy brought to light

in regard to this particular point.

Well, then,

the women obviously had all made love

before they were killed.

But not a single one
bore any sign of sexual violence.

I'd say, therefore,
that all the acts were,

shall I say, voluntary.

Now, judge, your Honor, let's say,

just for fun,
let's say you're Janos Dalmar,

and you've been accused
of being a sadistic killer.

On the strength
of the evidence submitted,

what would you do?

I'd petition the court with a suit

for willful defamation

- of my character.
- And what would

the court's ruling be?

A stiff fine for all those implicated,

and for unlawful deprivation
of civil rights,

in all probability,
several months in prison.

Gentlemen,
I urge you to proceed with restraint.

If Dalmar did commit murder, he'll pay.

But we must prove it.

I've been thinking
of taking a little jaunt

up to Zidia Castle
but I wanted a plausible excuse,

since I wanted to avoid having to obtain

a search warrant with no motive.

Now, thanks to Miss Rakowsky,
we've got an excuse.

Since we must take the truth
of Feodor's story,

perhaps we should visit the Baron,

to inquire after
the young lady's health.

Or to set up her funeral.

It's almost 11 o'clock.

11!

I would never have thought
a dedicated scientist

would spend all morning in bed.

I'll inform the authorities.

Are you awake, dear?

What was there in that milk I drank?

In the...

You were dreaming.
You never touched your milk.

I was sure I drank it.
And a minute later,

I tried to put out the candle,

but the candlestick fell to the floor.

How extraordinary.

So you want to go to the authorities?

Why, how convenient.

It so happens the police
are at the gate,

asking for you.

He's not one for laying out
the carpet, is he?

As I told you, Inspector,
we won't get in

without a search warrant,
and even then...

I win.

You owe me five dinar.

Yes, I think we should teach
Feodor a lesson,

only don't make it too harsh, will you?

Very well.

Now, if you could quieten the dogs

and open up the gate, we'll come in

and help you sign this.

Ah, my statement.

Yes.

Don't unlock it, Miss Rakowsky.

You can sign it there.

We don't want the dogs running away.

Fritz is bringing you an escritoire.

Here you are, Inspector, that's...

The Baron's waiting
for you in the laboratory.

Excuse me.

Just a second.

Don't you have something else

to tell the Inspector, dear?

Yes, yes, go ahead.
If you've something to say...

No, nothing.

I mean, if you've seen anything strange,

say so, and, well,
is everything quite all right?

Oh, yes, couldn't be better.

She's trying to hide it,

but underneath there's something wrong.

I can smell it.

She's in league with the Baron.

I'd bet on it.

Morning, sir.

Morning.

Take one of those aprons and put it on.

Did you read what I gave you?

Oh, I've barely begun.

I read for a few minutes
and then suddenly felt very tired.

Mmm.

I'd like to begin here.

Try to arrive at this reaction.

There you are.

Doctor,
why was the Chief of Police here?

Do you have some kind of score
to settle with the law?

Do you?

They appear to be a great deal
more interested

in your affairs than they were in mine.

As you are well aware,
there are several rumors abroad

suggesting that
I'm responsible for the...

The murder of six maidens.

And are they right?

If they were,
what makes you think that I'd tell you?

Sorry.

Last night I had an awful nightmare.

Ah, yes, how thoughtless of me.

I should've warned you.

What about?

The solution in which
my brother's body is immersed

contains a powerful hallucinary agent.

If you're sensitive to its fumes,

it would be best to wear this mask

when working anywhere near it.

And this liquid
will stop hallucinations,

if they should reoccur.

A couple of drops'll do the trick.

I could've sworn the dream was real,

that it was actually happening.

It was so vivid,
I couldn't have imagined it all.

I mean, it was so extraordinary.

Doctor, I believe I'm paying

for chemical formulae to be solved,

and not to hear descriptions
of your nightmares.

Yes, of course.

- Fritz, my horse.
- Here we are, sir.

What's the matter?

You startled me.

I didn't hear you walk in.

I'm awfully sorry. I had no idea.

You see, Doctor, I thought you were

about to move the body.

If you had, it might have ruined
several weeks' work.

I know my job.
Of course, I wouldn't move it.

It was a misunderstanding.

I hope you've completed
today's assignment, as planned.

Here you are.

I'll take a look at it tonight.

Once I'd obtained the reaction
you asked for,

two possibilities presented themselves.

I took the liberty of pursuing
the first in this equation...

I just told you, Doctor,

I'll check it tonight.

We'll talk about it tomorrow.

As you've done such a long day's work,
Dr. Rakowsky,

I should think you'd be ready

for a little bit of relaxation.

At dusk, the light in the forest
is simply marvelous.

I wonder if you'd care to...

I was hired, if I am correct,
to do research,

not to promenade around the garden wall,

to paraphrase your own statement.

Ah, now then,
I'd like to know your opinion

on which formula...

My opinion is that you don't know

an order when you hear it.

I demand obedience.

I repeat,
we'll go over your work tomorrow.

Wait a second, I...

The champagne, sir.

I'd like to drink to the health

of my esteemed colleague,
with all best wishes

for the successful completion
of her work.

Excuse me, but as I've been ordered

not to mention work 'til tomorrow,
I'm going to retire.

Dr. Rakowsky.

- Yes?
- It's I, Janos.

Open the door, please.

Still upset with me?

Is that all you've come here for?

Yes.

You can put your mind at rest, Baron.

No incident will in any way hinder

our chemical research.

Yet you bear a grudge.

Of course.

The saddest of human faults.

A grudge reminds one of hurts suffered.

Is it worse to have caused it,
or to bear it?

I beg your pardon.

Shall we make peace, then?

I won't harm you.

Your pride can't hide your real nature,

and you're extremely attractive
when you show that nature.

Please go away.

I think you know why.

Good night.

Sleep well.

You, too.

Ivanna.

What is it, Janos?

Nothing. Good night.

No... No...

Not real.

It's not real.

Sleep... Sleep in peace.

No harm will come to you.

You're so pure.

Pure white, like fine marble.

No one will hurt you.

He who tries will die.

You must stay pure.

Stay pure,

or my vengeance will turn on you!

Yes, go on. There's a good boy.

I see that you and my dogs
have become friends.

People, as a rule, never go near them.

The dogs won't allow it.

But with you,
they act like month-old pups.

Would you pour me a cup of tea?

I took a closer look at those marks,
and, Baron,

I can assure you,
somebody's gone after your dogs

with a whip.

I suppose you had nightmares again.

Yes, I did.

Then I'm sure you made
no use of the mask, Doctor.

I warn you, if you don't listen to me,

before long you'll be seeing ghosts
in the daytime,

in every corner and behind every door.

They'll come and go like

those awful scars all over your dogs.

Why did you say that?

Just thinking aloud.

Well, it's time to get to work.

Have a look at this.

It concerns the equation
you were working on yesterday.

Do you think it's correct?

Oh, yes, of course.

The solution I was pursuing
came out the same

but made me have all kinds
of misgivings.

I confess,
I was afraid you weren't capable

of comprehending my research,

but that was yesterday and I was wrong.

Off to work.

Just a moment, Ivanna.

I'm delighted by the passion
you have for your work,

but the road ahead of us
will be long and arduous.

I don't want my assistant
exhausting herself

right at the start.

I see!
The fable of the hare and the tortoise.

Our own version.

Oh, I'm sure I can control my passion.

Well, that's good to know.

Only don't forget
that besides the laboratory,

there's the open air, the forest,
and your breakfast.

Go and finish it.

Janos!

Janos!

Get out of there this instant!

But I only wanted to ask you...

Get away from there!

I said get away from there!

Olga, where are you?

Get out of there
or you'll leave here forever!

Oh!

What in the world have I done?

Lock that door, Olga,
and make damn sure it stays locked.

I give you fair warning,
I won't be treated

the way I was just now.

And you have fair warning
not to do that again.

But what have I done wrong?

You opened that door!

The rest of the castle
is at your disposal.

But the other side of that door
is forbidden.

Go through it
and you may never come out.

Ah, then you are that hideous
Jack the Ripper,

and behind your great, important door

there's six little dead girls,
all in a row.

Someday, you know,
I think the villagers'

stories of you are all true!

Just listen to me!

Disobey the order, and I promise you,

you will place your life in grave peril,

but not from me or from my dogs.

That entire wing is in ruin.

It could crumble
for no other reason than

an act committed by a fool.

Olga, put that key
where it can't be found.

Curiosity is bad for one's health,

and the health of Dr. Rakowsky,

though of little worth to her,

is quite essential to me.

You go straight to Hell!

Where is that damnable rogue?

The ladies have both finished
with their dinner.

Then we'll call it a day, my dear.

We'll wait 'til 10:30 and then leave.

I don't want to find us
on the road after midnight.

Now go and wash up.

There are dogs. He's back.

We were beginning to worry, sir.

Take him to his stall

- and rub him down.
- Yes, sir.

Cristiana has your dinner ready.

- Good evening, sir.
- Good evening.

You may go now.

Your father is waiting for you.

Ah, if there's anything you want,

I'd be willing to stay on, sir.

I'm not afraid to go home alone.

Thank you, but another time, perhaps.

Have the ladies retired?

No, sir, they're both in the library.

Good night, Cristiana.

Good evening. A splendid night.

There's nothing more exhilarating

than a fast gallop across the moors
under a full moon.

You may go, Olga.

When I conducted the test
with prussic acid,

several difficulties arose,
causing a delay.

Tomorrow I'll give you
the complete details.

Good night.

Just a moment.

Stop playing the offended goddess

and act human for once.

If you call humanity brow-beating

and then offering a caress,
I haven't the least desire

to stay human a minute longer.

Ivanna, please.

You were terribly put off this morning.

I understand.

However, life is full of doors
that can't be opened.

You must accept that, Ivanna.

Ah, nobly put,
and now that you've said it,

perhaps you'll try to practice
what you're preaching.

What are you saying?

Isn't it clear?

You lack respect for what's behind

some of those forbidden doors, Baron.

- I do?
- Yes.

I'm being spied on.

I feel watched at every turn,
but above all

when I have my bath
or take my clothes off.

Have you lost your head?

I'm sick of the thought
that you of all men

- should have to resort...
- That's enough!

To such underhanded, disgusting methods!

I can't tell whether it's your stupidity

or your vanity.

Whichever,
I suppose I'll have to point out

the fact that I can have
all the women I like,

and all more beautiful than you are.

Your milk maids
don't interest me one jot,

but you're wasting your time here,
so go out,

take the first woman you meet
and have at it!

That's the first intelligent thing

you've said since you got here.

And, what's more, I'll take your advice.

- It's time she and I left.
- Somethin' is bound to go wrong.

This is much too good to last.

Oh, don't be a fool. Why, at your age,

where else could you find employment

for the kind of wages
that you can get from the Baron?

Oh, well, I don't know.

I could work in the fields.

Work in the fields, you?

Fritz, look.

Look here.

We've saved all this.

We have your wages
and a little bit more,

then we can retire
in comfort in the village.

All you have to do is to steal
a bit more this month.

Sophia!

Come, come, you've no reason

to pretend in front of me.

I'm worried about Cristiana.

The Baron sometimes gives her looks
the likes of which

I swear...

Bah!
Every girl gets interested in a man

sooner or later.

And this may be a chance for us

to catch the goose
that lays the golden egg.

Sophia!

How could you think of such a thing?

Have you forgotten what happened

to all the others
who fell in love with him?

Fritz,
you don't really believe all that.

It's poppycock, my dear.

I tell you,
if Cristiana were to catch the Baron,

it's he who'd come off
second best in the match.

I yearn too much of an hour
to get things done.

- Oh, go to the devil.
- You old cow.

If he comes here,
I'll pepper his backside.

Go and make sure Cristiana's in bed.

She's mad for the scoundrel.

Janos?

What are you doing?

No. No! No!

Calm down! You're all right!

Ivanna! Ivanna! Calm down,

for God's sake!

What on earth do you think

could've happened to the poor girl,
Janos?

I don't know,
but she was white with fear.

Ohh...

Sleep now, and tomorrow we'll talk.

No, not like this.

I'd never forgive myself.

Go to sleep, Ivanna.

Thank you.

Janos.

Janos, come here.

Do you remember
how you liked to touch me,

the feel of my skin?

Come.

Do you remember all the happy days
we spent together?

It's time things changed back
to the way they were before.

I've waited two years for you, Janos...

Two long years.

Just try telling me it's all over now.

You're not fooling anyone, Jan...

Inspector Zarick.

She's dead.

I should be ready with the results
of the autopsy tonight.

Thank you, Doctor.

We searched the entire castle, sir.

Didn't find a thing.

That door there, where does it lead?

Outside?

It opens onto a corridor
leading to the tower,

where Baron's brother
had his laboratory.

Can we have a look?

No.

The interior's in complete ruin.

It's dangerous
because the tower may crumble

any second, even if the door does work.

No one's gone in there
since my brother's death.

Good morning, Inspector Zarick.

I'm sorry to see you, miss,
under such circumstances.

So am I.
It's all such a horrible business.

Wait outside.

I realize you must be terribly shocked

and I regret having to subject
you to interrogation, but...

No, please do.

Ah, well, miss,

at the risk of appearing
rather coarse and rude,

I would like to ask some questions.

Have a seat for a moment.

You may of course consult
a lawyer first, if you wish.

That won't be necessary, Inspector.

Well, to begin with, did you spend

last night in the castle?

Yes.

And you weren't aware of anything,

throughout the whole night?

I don't know what you're inferring,

but I thought that last night
was splendid.

You know, with the full moon.

However, I remained in bed all night.

Touche.

So, since I see that you
are open and forthright,

there's no need to fence, is there?

Shall we continue, then?

You didn't go out, all night long?

I thought I told you.

Did you notice anyone that did?

Yes.

Who?

The butler, Inspector,
and his daughter, Cristiana.

Anyone else?

No.

What about the Baron?

Did he go out?

No.

How can you be sure of that?

Perhaps he sneaked out,
through a back door.

That's impossible.

Janos was in my room.

All night long?

This is outrageous, Inspector.

Your method of questioning...

Two women are dead!

I want the truth, that's all!

Go on, admit it, Janos!

The Inspector is right,

and he's bound to find out eventually.

Janos was with me all night.

It appears that you
have one common story,

in which case, it's useless
interrogating either of you.

You will have to testify
at the inquest, though,

and I would like to call your attention

to the fact that you will be under oath.

Good day.

Well, sir?

It appears they have a common alibi.

So that's that.

Thank you.

For what?

For coming to my aid.

I'll lose my job if I lose my employer.

There was no need to lie for me.

Your reputation may suffer for it.

I detest moral conventions.

And thank you for not thinking
me guilty of those murders.

On the contrary,
I do think you're guilty.

What?

Yes, it was you, Janos.

The truth of it
is you possess two personalities.

But that's ridiculous.

No, it isn't.

You know this treatise, don't you?

Well, your case is similar.

You're influenced by some force that,
at certain times,

subconsciously, turns you into a killer.

No!

No! No!

There are a great many precedents.

Of course, there are!

I agree with what's in that book,
but not in my case.

I've never had lapses of memory.

In fact, I have a very highly
developed recall capability.

That's all irrelevant, though.

You've got two personalities,
each distinct,

neither one aware there's another.

Let's face it, Janos.

I propose we get right down
to beginning your cure.

Where are you going?

What are you up to?

You're susceptible
to the influence of the full moon.

There was one last night,
but you're also susceptible

to the narcotic in the liquid
preserving Igor's body,

and, occasionally, even to Igor.

Igor is dead!

Not for you.

The possibility of discovering a way

to bring Igor back to life again

has grown into an obsession,
and the resulting tension

to which your brain is being subjected

could well have created the other Janos.

What's that stick for?

No!

I only want to help you, Janos.

Tell me why.

I, I believe in human kindness.

No other reason?

Janos.

There is more to it, isn't there?

Not now, not here.

Do be patient.

I understand.

You have nothing to fear.

I'll be awfully patient.

There's a good boy.

Off you go.

Isn't it awful, to think one could feel

so happy today of all days?

I admire you.

Admire?

You have courage.

What makes you think
that when I've been transformed

into, into a monster,
you won't become mincemeat?

No, you'd never hurt me,
because you truly love me.

Yes, but does the other me love you?

I don't know.

I mean, the way he treats me in that

horrible torture chamber
isn't very nice.

What?

He only touches me, though.

He doesn't make love
because he knows I don't want to.

What is all this?

My silly nightmares.

No, this place where you say
you were tortured.

Well, it was a room that...

I wasn't really hurt, though.

All you really did was to stretch me out

on a sort of rack.

Did you see my face?

I never had to.

I could always tell
it was you just by...

Well, your voice was a bit rougher,

but I could recognize your silhouette...

And your hands, soft as milk.

But your, your hands were all gnarled.

Janos!

Igor!

Igor!

Igor?

Igor?

- You called, brother?
- So it was you.

Don't tell me you didn't know all along.

Come on, Janos.

No, I had no idea.

What did you think,

that those lovesick young things
committed suicide

after having gone with you?

I didn't know.

But, Igor, you...
You were locked in here.

It never entered my head
that you could get out.

Ah, my most beloved little brother.

How naive you are.

How very naive to think
I couldn't get out.

What on earth made you do it, Igor?

Can you imagine what it must be like

to feel subhuman,

while one's own brother is healthy

and takes carnal pleasure?

Justice had to be done, Janos!

My God, you commit such crimes
with your own hands

and then call it justice!

The hands were mine.

The criminal was you!

You're not only scarred,

you've been stricken
by something more terrible.

You've developed a brain
that's all twisted,

thanks to that infernal fire!

No, no!

Don't be cruel.

Don't say that word, Janos.

I never want to hear it again.

Please don't say it.

It destroyed me.
I've turned into a monster.

My manhood, stolen away from me.

I feel nothing but hate for the flesh.

The flesh you take,
and I can't know the feel of anymore.

That's why every last one
of your sluts died.

Bodies burning with desire...

Why, they had to be killed!

There'll be no more of it, though.

I'll have you arrested.

You'll pay, Igor.

No, Janos.

You would never have me arrested.

Have you forgotten
the solemn oath we swore

before our dear mother died?

We would always be helpful
and good to each other.

I'd never hurt you, nor you me.

If you didn't follow that, brother,

you would never know a minute's peace!

And have you followed the oath?

Help me, Janos, don't turn me down.

Only you can do it.

You and Ivanna.

I'll do whatever you like.

You leave her alone, though.

No, Janos.

Ivanna's mine.

No!

That's impossible, Igor!

She is too young and innocent
for you, Janos.

Won't you ever see?

She is like moonlight, like a snowflake.

She's all that's pure
and white and fresh.

And she is the only one
that has resisted you,

that has said, "No."

Like me,
she shuns the pleasures of the flesh,

and you, Janos, you will never be able

to go to bed with her, understand?

She's mine.

Ivanna's mine.

But you still touched her!

You put your repulsive hands
on her body!

Yes, but I touch her
as one would touch a delicate statue,

or a jewel. Not the way you do it.

You'll never see her again.

I'll send her away!

No, you won't, Janos.

Unfortunately for you,
you know nothing about chemistry.

She is the only one
who can do the research,

who can carry out the work
as I prepare it.

Take this.

Give it to her. Let her continue.

No.

I'm asking for your help, brother.

You cannot deny me.

You're insane, Igor.

But there are barriers which

not even your madness can cross.

Ivanna will never be yours. Never!

Janos.

Janos, what's wrong?

Ivanna, my darling, will you be my wife?

Oh.

Ah-ha. Checkmate.

The wife cannot give evidence
against her husband,

nor the husband against his wife.

Then they're getting away.

Not at all.

This is the moment
in which we're certain

that they're both guilty of murder.

Get away, miss.
I got no reason to kill you.

Get away and you won't get hurt.

I only want his life,
his for my daughter's.

Get away, I say, or I warn you,
I'll fire anyway.

So help me,
I don't care if I kill the two of you!

Hey, hey, put that gun down!

Put it down, Fritz. Give me the gun!

Give it to me, I say!

He must be mad!

Attempted murder in broad daylight?

Take him away.

It's not serious.

We can treat him over at my surgery.

No, better take him to the castle.

The natives are a bit too restless.

It's only a flesh wound.

Fortunately,
he was so excited it made his aim bad.

Now, forget about it, my darling.

I swear it, Ivanna.
I didn't murder those girls.

It doesn't matter to me, though.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have married you.

But still, I didn't do it.

All right, then it wasn't you.

I can't explain it to you right now.

When you feel like it.

You've got to believe me, though.

I do.

Now, let's forget about everything.

It's our wedding night.

You will forget everything, my darling?

It wouldn't be fair.

You see,
all my life I've waited for this moment.

And you, you would have me think

of things not worth thinking about.

I'm in love with you, my darling.

Not too much, though,
so don't think yourself

too important and irresistible.

And be very gentle.

Won't you, Janos?

What's wrong?

What is it, darling?

I don't know.
Some of the villagers, maybe.

Oh, my God, Janos.

Please be careful!

This is my house,
and I will permit no one

to come trespassing here!

I warned you.

I warned you

to leave Ivanna alone!

I'm waiting.

Hurry, darling.

I'm waiting.

Stay the way you are, pure and fresh,

and I'll love you always.
I'll worship you

'til death do us part.

Stay like that, just so,
my love, with your eyes closed.

Oh, my darling... Oh...

My love.

Here, come here.
Take me. Take me, Janos.

Janos.

Blasted whore!

Janos, what is it?

You, too.
You're just like all the others!

But I don't understand.

Like all the others,
maybe even worse than them.

Janos, you're ill!

So much the worse for you, because...

Now you, too, like all the others...

Are going to die!

Put it out! Put it out!

Oh, no!

Janos!

Get out of here!

You, who thought
you could destroy me forever,

but I'll have my revenge!

You'll burn!

Janos! Janos, no, it's over.

There's no hope for Igor anymore now.

It's over.

Come, darling, come, come.

Please, Janos, there's nothing left

but to let fire
wipe out the evil it's caused.
