THE BLOOD OF THE ORCHID

based on the novel by James Hadley Chase

Come back tomorrow.

Idiot!

Aren't you coming down today?

You didn't let me show you the bathroom,

Or the bedrooms...

I'm fine here.

What is your name now?

Delage...

Louis Delage.

Have you gone back to the first name?

How do you do when you want to be with a woman?

I have to go.

Where to?

I will be away for a few days.

- Will you take me with you? - No.

- Do you want a clean shirt? - Fuck you!

Won't you take me

Bye, Mom.

- He's leaving? - No, he stays.

I'll go with you, I can't stay here alone.

- Are you working now? - No, I've never worked.

And the horses?

They belong to my father.

- And your mother? - I wish I had never met you.

Why are you so afraid?

I'm fed up.

Are you going to keep running?

I would like to have a car like this.

I'd sit back and look at everyone who has no money...

They would look at me too.

Look!

Re crazy? Do not stop!

He is dead!

Have you seen his eyes?

Let's go! Let's get out of here!

were you in the truck?

What happened?

Where they were going?

And you?

- I'll take you to see a doctor. - No.

Who was this guy?

Take me with you.

I told you not to stop!

Hotels make me sick, especially ones like this.

My name is Claire.

Claire what?

Come!

I will sleep in this.

I don't want to stay here for a long time.

I don't have a dime.

This fool will kill me.

- Some more wine? - No, thanks.

I would have preferred to stay where we were.

Where we are?

He's bleeding!

do you come back

Don't you eat a little?

It's too late. I'm not hungry now.

Is Ostend in Belgium?

Where is she?

She went to bed.

She didn't say anything about the accident?

Nope.

Do you wait for me here?

I dont know...

Look over there, the other one is alone.

Goodnight.

Well then you've come!

Is there anyone Delage doesn't owe money to?

He only knows how to do one thing: borrow.

...a true adventurer.

You do not sleep?

It's a bit hot in this hotel...

Can I take it off?

- Are you alone? - Yes.

I came to keep you company.

Maybe we could meet.

I hope you're not afraid of me.

I won't hurt you.

On the contrary...

I like you a lot.

Be nice... take this off.

I'm going to open a new club.

- Did you get the permits? - Yeah, it's not too complicated.

It hurts, it hurts!

- Is that you, Louis? - Yes.

Help me Louis! Help me, it hurts!

She had a knife.

Where is she?

How will I know?

It hurts Louis...

I'll never see them... ever!

- To whom? - The two brothers.

The knife throwers... I won't see them.

- Who are you calling? - To a doctor!

No, I don't want a doctor!

Are they the Berekian brothers?

His mother must have nothing left,

he must have sold everything.

Now he is here with a girl.

Look! It's her!

I said that she was going to open a new club.

- I'm going to wash my hands. - Where is my jacket?

She wanted me to come see her.

She let me kiss her.

She wanted me...

The Berekians do not forgive someone when they decide to kill him.

They will follow me everywhere.

No one can tell me about them.

They never left a witness alive.

I know. This is bad.

I have to take you to the hospital!

No, I don't want to go to the hospital!

Why do they want to kill you?

Because of Blancarte...

It was shit.

One night, I opened fire in her club and hit one.

But isn't Blancarte in jail?

I reported it, she was looking for me.

She agreed with the Berekians.

A year ago.

Don't go, don't go!

My friends are waiting for me.

What happened upstairs in the room?

You do not change!

No possibility!

About the loan you asked me...

Pay off your debt first, then we'll see...

I'm looking for the bartender...

Salmon?

My husband loves salmon!

I have demolished everything.

I got a loan with 4% interest.

We have bought these bottles of wine to help a friend...

The labels were not correct and they made me a story...

I would tell you a story, but I'm not sure I can finish it.

You never finish anything, anyway.

I'll show you the 15 new bathrooms.

We are the last generation inculcated with a moral ideal.

But it was not always the same.

Anyone there?

Who is here?

Berekian. Gyula and Joszef Berekian.

- Even 3,000 would be enough. - First, pay back your debt.

I'll see you in six months...

It's not that hard to make money, you know that well.

You're still here!

I lived alone in a small house like this...

There was a larger house nearby, but I think it was not inhabited.

- Louis, the horses are hungry. - What do you say?

I know you are hungry!

But now I don't have time. Go to bed!

There's going to be a storm.

They fed me at 11 and 6:30.

At 9 o'clock the lights went out.

I wasn't tired at 9...

Neither does he...

There were big boxes outside...

But where were you, was it a jail?

I was sure you wouldn't forget me.

They always forget me.

With you I don't need to defend myself.

But I was cheated so many times.

I propose we sleep in shifts.

Wrap yourself up in this blanket.

She is going to freeze.

What time does it dawn?

Later and later.

She reclines the seat.

Take off your shoes if you want.

You do not sleep?

I'm thinking of that young lady...

-What do you think she will be doing now? - You think too much about women.

You have to think of something.

Sleep!

I can't sleep in the car.

They are two brothers... Some time ago they worked in a circus.

There was no more talk of them after the war.

I thought they didn't work anymore.

They killed him?

It was so beautiful.

I panicked.

I should have called someone. Now they'll think it was me.

I have to escape.

Leave away!

You can leave me here.

An employee will arrive in the morning.

I'll wait for him.

I'll go after he comes.

There was a man who came to see me.

He had dirt under his fingernails...

He was very strong.

I have lived there for years.

And before?

She was sick before.

I did a lot of stupid things.

I remember very well.

She was very proud.

I'm cold.

- Are they looking for you too? - Yes.

- Because? - Because I left.

will you take me with you

That house where I was...

it wasn't really a prison.

Where we are?

Sleep, darling, sleep.

I will open immediately.

- Why don't we go with them? - We're good here.

Where was she?

How will I know?

Do you think we could have a cup of coffee?

George! She goes for a walk in the park.

A walk will do you good.

I do all this for you!

Yes, yes, she left.

I told Mrs. Bastien Wagener on the phone...

She tried to blind the gardener and left.

And they also told me not to notify the police.

Mrs. Bastien doesn't necessarily want her to know.

They treat me like she's running an underground brothel.

But why call the police? In fact, it was your fault.

This occurs at an absolutely inappropriate time.

I just sold my house...

I put everything in a cabinet. This week my son and I are living as gypsies.

Yes, I understand.

You see, dear lady, actually she was fine,

with all the medical guarantees.

She was very nervous this past year.

But this man began to deal with her...

I think he came every morning, she couldn't stand it.

She hit him in the face and disappeared.

Just a question...

- Yes ma'am. - She is now free.

Suppose she went to see a specialist,

a psychiatrist,

and that he has examined it.

Yes.

Do you think I would judge it essential to bring her back here?

It could be that she returned alone.

My brother died very recently...

He named me legal executor of all her estate.

It was the sensible thing to do.

My niece has to come back here...

and stay here.

It is the most convenient for everyone.

Especially for her.

Where can she go she in her state?

That's right.

It is preferable to forget everything... and that she stays with us.

Sir, if we weren't discreet, we would have closed a long time ago.

She was treated very well...she must come back.

What are you doing here? Have you finished with your work?

I want to see what she looks like now... Poor girl!

I could never have recognized her.

It is our cross!

I will never be able to accept that now everything belongs to a crazy woman!

Your hand shakes.

My mother must have gotten up.

I have to go.

Can you give me some money? Then I'll give it back to you.

Take care of yourself.

Come in fast!

Watch out!

Be careful with the movements of the steering wheel!

Isn't a car following us?

- No, I don't see any. - Isn't there a house?

Very far.

- Where we are? - I do not know!

Is there not a path or a route?

Slower!

- We just crossed a small road... - Take that way.

Go find someone... a doctor!

I can not move.

Were you honest when you said I'm not sick?

Yes.

- Shouldn't I be locked up? - Nope...

I'll explain it to you someday... Now, go.

Be careful, they will surely chase us.

Madam, madam!... Please, where can I find a doctor?

- She is sick? -No, she's not for me.

It's for an injured man.

She is on the side of the road, bleeding.

A friend of mine is a doctor. Come on, come on, I'll take her with him.

-Is she away? - No do not worry.

Where is the injured? He Is he far from here?

Nope!

He is near. In an old factory.

I need a doctor, for an injured man! You understand?

Understands? - I cant go out.

I'm sick.

Go to the hospital. I can't help her.

- Henry! - Yes.

Come here!

Excuse me, she's a friend of mine.

Fast! She is going to die!

I know where he is, I can take him there.

She listens well... she is very rich. She is very sick.

She nearly blinded the gardener.

My friend and I will make you a coffee... Wait here.

Have a seat here... We want to help you.

No, I have to go.

I'll fix myself.

Are my eyes what you want?

No, she was wrong...

No...she shouldn't have come here.

I am a good doctor.

We will take care of her.

Let me out! Open the door!

Come on Claire, what's going on?

you don't have to go

Do not you recognize me?

Henry, come quickly! Do something!

We'll take care of

you like we did before.

No, let her go, Elisabeth. I don't need that money.

Don't forget what he did to the gardener...

Henri, quickly call the clinic!

They found her!

They found her!

You must be tired, my poor Elisabeth!

- As soon? - They move fast!

Mrs...

Come in, gentlemen. Come in, please.

They arrived fast. Over here please. I go first.

- Here's the doctor. - I didn't want to talk to you on the phone.

I don't know the history of the Wagener family very well.

Yes, what I read in the newspapers like everyone else...

But as a doctor, if you want my advice...

Henry, please. The gentlemen will know what to do.

Miss Wagener?

Yes...

-The one... -Where is she?

- Not here. Elizabeth, I...

She is not here!

She was here, but she left.

And the car in front?

He left without his car.

They came looking for her.

Doctor, understand me. It is not a problem of money, but of family morality.

My niece is sick and that's why I'm here.

What my brother left me is not in irresponsible hands.

Yes, the newspaper, the factories, everything... It's so cold here!

Understand me well, Doctor, it's a delicate problem.

Please, gentlemen. Please can't be here...

Mr. Wagener left everything to his daughter. But she has depressive and anxious states.

So, as a doctor, you will understand...

As you know, money is always suspect.

For my brother's prosperity, we had to expect punishment.

It is not easy for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, you know that well, Doctor.

In short, this girl's place is the hospice.

Let's be logical. It's her or me.

And you have to do it quickly.

I have a house near Zurich...

A house that my poor brother left me. I have to go there!

Maybe she's depressed, but she's not here.

Two men came looking for her.

When?

5 or 10 minutes ago.

Who, what two men?

She had never seen them. They were dressed properly.

- Maybe they were foreigners. -But he is a criminal!

What was she doing here?

She came to ask for help for an injured man she loves.

The one he loves?! What a stupid thing! She is incapable of love!

And where is the wounded?

I can take her there.

And why did she give my niece to strangers?

They were armed, ma'am.

She made us waste a lot of time!

Where is she?

She doesn't know!

- We'd better get back to Italy. - Nope!

I want to find the witness!

Someone passed before us.

Do you recognize her?

She is my cousin.

She was kidnapped by two men. It's your fault.

You knew she was very rich.

He must have told you when you slept together.

Did they sleep together?

They have probably tried.

What did you find in it?

Well, if you know a little about women,

after such a long lockdown...

Even after 15 years, I wouldn't sleep with him!

Ma'am, the two men...

What happens to them?

The ones who kidnapped his niece are here.

Close the door, quick!

We are not here! Is it clear?

We don't talk to these people!

We cannot expect trust.

I can't ask the banks or my clients for anything,

to nobody,

while in my family there is a crazy woman in freedom!

It's very simple!

It is me they are looking for and they took his niece...

Make a change.

Do not hesitate!

Go tell him

they can't do anything else.

An injured man would have preferred to go to a doctor or to the hospital.

We have some good hospitals here.

Are these the attachments?

Yes that's how it is. Over here please...

Is what is said true?

They say that one day, they killed his partner...

stabbed in the neck,

in the middle of the show.

My mother met a man who talks a lot about you,

but she now she hides it.

He will be in Switzerland next week...

in an old family house.

I could tell you where it is.

He will be there too.

Who?

The wounded.

Where is Lady Go?

There in the garden.

I don't want anything to do with her business.

She is a very rich neurasthenic. She escaped from the clinic where she was hospitalized.

You won't have any problem.

She is the daughter of the Orchid.

The Lady will not agree.

We clean up a bit and then we go...

to Switzerland for a few days.

You promised me they'll never come back.

Who is she?

She is the daughter of the Orchid. Remember?

- It is true? -She seems.

Orchid...

Alcide...

If she's not here when we get back, it would

be better for you if she's not here either.

Some say that they are young, others that they are old.

Actually... they are ageless.

I seem to be older than my age...

because I am very smart.

They haven't left any witnesses alive...

except me.

Will they really kill you?

Of course.

And I'm really scared.

I would have a lot to tell about everything,

if you were interested.

That's him.

Peter, that's Peter!

There's Alcide.

He was very elegant.

There are the Berekians.

She is Dolores, his partner.

My God, poor girl!

That's Gyula.

No, it's Josef.

Yes, Joszef, but you can't recognize him,

because he has changed a lot.

That's poor Dolores.

We worked in the same circus.

I am Lady Come on.

There's no way you can remember, you were too young.

But I was famous.

That's not us!

She had many lovers. You wouldn't believe it, would you?

I was an artist...

a true artist.

You have to be an artist to carry a cross like mine.

The daughter of the Orchid, what does that mean?

Don't talk about it.

What do they want from me?

Why does everyone hate me?

Why am I always locked up?

I do not know.

Sometimes in life, you have to turn the page.

Why does everyone say that I'm sick?

I do not know.

He was a gentleman named Wagener.

Swiss, or German... I don't know.

He had a very beautiful wife...but much younger than him.

One day she was kidnapped by a ruthless bandit.

She lived with him and maybe...

they committed crimes together.

When she started the circus again, at the end of 1944,

I couldn't resume my number.

Why?

One day she jumped out of a window.

She had just had a daughter.

You.

I don't believe you!

That man would have been executed!

You're right.

He was killed some time later, at the exit of the subway.

I have to lock you up now,

you've been out too long.

Alcide is coming back.

The two men who brought me here, did they know my father?

They all knew him.

Only Joszef and Gyula were different.

Your father loved orchids,

and every time he committed a crime he left one somewhere.

- You have to let me go! - No no no!

No, don't ask me that!

I had a dream...

he was naked to the waist...

kneeling on the bank of a river.

All the others were on the other side, with rifles ready to fire...

And I thought he was going to die...

and that no one was going to cry for me.

Your hair is white.

I have to dye my roots.

Still nothing?

Any. They have not arrived yet.

You don't have to make that noise.

I finished fixing the dress.

Let's try it.

They will kill him...

Looks Good.

- He told me: "You can come with me, if you want." - It looked good on me too.

He had a very strong perfume.

He had a wound on my arm and he cleaned it up.

We made love all night.

He knew why she was locked up, he told

me that one day he would explain it to me.

He promised me!

I know where they are

I have to go there.

You have been loved...

You told me.

You can't let it die.

Above the sewing machine is my makeup box.

There is some money there.

The station is on the right as you exit.

To cross the border, it is better to take a night train.

You can also keep the makeup box, as a gift.

Aren't you coming?

No... I was very happy here.

You don't have to worry about me.

We are of the same race, you know.

We shouldn't hurt each other.

You can hide it from others,

but I know.

I do not want to talk to you.

You can call it whatever you want

but you are like me

You are crazy like me.

I'm never wrong.

I have so many memories...

He didn't remember her this way.

I didn't think she was so isolated.

The noise is muffled by the trees. Almost nothing is heard.

Are there no servants?

- No guards? - Yes, an old man, very harmless.

He lives far away.

He will be here at seven, if he got my telegram.

What a mess this place is!

Put him in the pink room, on the first floor.

Don't you remember your room?

- I can't sleep with you? - Nope!

- Do the doors close properly? - Certainly not.

Absolutely no one comes here.

And this cold that doesn't stop! Madeline!

Madeleine, hurry up and light a fireplace, please!

Madam, there is someone sleeping here!

What does this guard do that lets everyone in?

Wake her up!

Move! What are they waiting for?

There is nothing here to look at.

Leave her alone, she needs silence.

She woke up! She wants to go!

Don't let him go! Lock her up!

Be careful, she is dangerous!

She closes everything.

The ambulance has left.

They always close the doors...

They will never let me out.

You promised to tell me why.

Why did you come here?

I remembered this house.

The two knife throwers, the two brothers,

are looking everywhere for me.

I was afraid you were dead.

Get up! Tell me now!

Pretend I'm already dead...

I've phoned the warden's wife, she says her husband left early.

- No one has seen it? - No ma'am.

Serious!

What is he doing? It's 7:30! Cook dinner, come on!

Did you take your pills?

I'm fine.

Don't you have anything to tell me?

Any.

Tell me what you have to say.

Nope.

It's like she's looking at your father.

She couldn't bear to see him that way.

I had you very late.

We can't understand each other.

You are the son of an old couple.

Robert, Raymond, come on! Is it long, Madeleine?

The line is dead.

What is happening?

The Guardian?

We're leaving immediately!

What are they waiting for?

No, drop everything! Go get the car!

Fast!

May I know what is going on?

Nope!

Close all!

Fast! The doors, the windows!

Faster!

Fast! Get nails, planks, fast!

They have attacked, I am sure.

There is one behind the house. He was the one who shot.

The other will soon enter.

You never hear them when they come,

they just come.

They have found people on the other side of the world.

You have no courage!

Prepare to be alone.

- Is everything locked up? - Yeah, except for the door under the stairs.

Pull up a chair and sit in front of it.

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

Arnaud! Came back!

When he was young, he had all the money he wanted,

and the best quality clothing.

I wanted to hear you talk about me!

I also had many friends

Now everyone has forgotten me.

All this is grotesque.

I was an idiot when I was young, and now I'm a poor old man.

I'm going to go... I'm going to leave you!

Leave away.

You can't do anything for me.

Miss Wagener... ... Miss Wagener...

You don't know me.

And I think the timing is not right.

But how can I shut up?

Circumstances will, sooner or later...

You will be forced to make decisions.

I'll explain everything...

Due to the greed of some people it

has been locked up for all this time.

The Wagener family fortune... belongs to you.

I knew they would find me.

I knew it.

What I mean is that all that wealth belongs to you.

The newspaper?

- The textile factory? - If all.

The houses, the forests... are they all mine?

If all.

Everything is intact, but very poorly managed.

There were talks for a sale, but it would be a mistake...

Thank God you came!

Now maybe a reconciliation?

Robert!

Yes ma'am?

Can you hear me?

My poor Robert!

Are you there?

Are you afraid?

Yes ma'am.

Robert!

Robert!

Robert!

Robert!

Stop Please! I'll give them anything they want.

They have nothing against me!

Are you looking for the injured man?

He's up!... he's up!

In the room at the front of the stairs.

There is.

Do you hear me?

He is up...

with the crazy

This is for you!

- It's our last job... I can't take it anymore. - Don't stay here!

Let's go back!

Gyu...

Come on, bastard!

Anyone there!

I'm blind! It hurt my eyes!

Women are more resistant than men.

It's what we all expect!

She is the owner. Everything belongs to her.

An organized schizophrenic can run a bank.

When can we see it?

Tomorrow morning, she is now on painkillers.

I liked you better with long hair.

She won't even recognize you.

She waits here. It won't take long.

Don't stay there. What are you doing?

Anyway, she is sleeping now. The meeting is at 5:00 p.m.

- Good morning, sir, is she okay? - Yes very good.

-I hope she has recovered everything. - Yes Yes!

I went out this morning...

my flowers did not resist.

I wanted to thank you for...

Mrs!

Mrs!

Mrs! Where she goes?

- To visit a friend. - This is not visiting hours!

Come another day.

Another day? I can't, I work.

- Now I have a job. - Sorry, it's too late.

Please, sir, I have to see her!

I already know it! Come on, lady!

She entered the treasure room,

and she saw the old woman counting the gold...

piled on the ground.

And then he said:

"I will kill...

the one she has betrayed...

and I will bring the head of him."

Yes, yes, I slept well.

It's a nice day...

I will start work immediately.

No, I'm not alone.

I feel very good,

very very good.

I feel very strong.

Everything became clear to me.

No, I forgot a lot of things.

Him too... Yes, I forgot...

I'm strong enough to fight now...

I feel so good.

Companies have their own lives.

From now on, of course... Money brings benefits.
