1
00:01:56,700 --> 00:02:01,570
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it's more
than an entertainment. It's a panacea.

2
00:02:01,663 --> 00:02:04,121
Well, a tonic.
That's it, ladies and gents.

3
00:02:04,207 --> 00:02:07,541
A tonic for jangled nerves
and tired blood.

4
00:02:07,628 --> 00:02:10,871
There's nothing like a good fright
for toning up the circulation.

5
00:02:11,048 --> 00:02:13,916
And that's what you've got in here.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it's in here.

6
00:02:14,092 --> 00:02:16,960
You'll shriek, you'll shudder,
you'll shiver,

7
00:02:17,137 --> 00:02:19,049
but it's all in fun
and no harm done.

8
00:02:19,222 --> 00:02:21,839
So come along, ladies and gents,
get your tickets now.

9
00:02:22,017 --> 00:02:24,054
Only half a crown. Half a crown!

10
00:02:24,227 --> 00:02:28,141
For the greatest thrill
you've ever had in your life.

11
00:02:39,868 --> 00:02:42,986
<i>Come along to
the Torture Garden of Dr Diabolo.</i>

12
00:02:44,039 --> 00:02:49,000
<i>Dr Diabolo's Torture Garden.</i>

13
00:03:20,325 --> 00:03:23,238
Yes, my friends. There is no end

14
00:03:23,412 --> 00:03:26,325
to man's inhumanity to man.

15
00:03:26,498 --> 00:03:27,955
You have seen torture.

16
00:03:28,917 --> 00:03:32,581
Now I'm going to show you death.

17
00:03:40,220 --> 00:03:42,507
The electric chair.

18
00:03:42,889 --> 00:03:44,505
It's used

19
00:03:45,767 --> 00:03:50,637
for the execution of condemned
criminals in the United States.

20
00:03:51,189 --> 00:03:55,775
The man in that chair has
committed a crime. It's murder.

21
00:03:55,986 --> 00:03:57,193
He's gonna pay for it.

22
00:03:57,904 --> 00:04:00,191
Strapped and helpless
in that little chair,

23
00:04:00,907 --> 00:04:03,445
the creature awaits his doom.

24
00:04:04,578 --> 00:04:08,322
Perhaps you feel sympathy,
compassion for him, eh?

25
00:04:08,415 --> 00:04:10,532
Well, not me.

26
00:04:10,834 --> 00:04:12,496
Not me,

27
00:04:12,669 --> 00:04:15,161
for reasons of my own.

28
00:04:16,047 --> 00:04:19,631
And soon, thousands of volts
of electricity

29
00:04:19,801 --> 00:04:21,918
will sear every nerve

30
00:04:22,095 --> 00:04:24,963
and every cell of his body.

31
00:04:25,557 --> 00:04:28,425
A very civilised method of revenge,

32
00:04:28,602 --> 00:04:30,764
that I approve of.

33
00:04:31,062 --> 00:04:33,520
You'll notice the bits of sponge
here and there,

34
00:04:33,690 --> 00:04:36,307
where the electrodes
touch the flesh.

35
00:04:36,485 --> 00:04:38,647
That is to prevent the gentleman

36
00:04:38,820 --> 00:04:42,780
from being burnt to a cinder
before your eyes. But, nevertheless,

37
00:04:42,949 --> 00:04:45,191
he will burn inside.

38
00:04:45,911 --> 00:04:47,027
Inside.

39
00:04:47,788 --> 00:04:49,654
Inside.

40
00:04:50,123 --> 00:04:52,115
Inside.

41
00:04:53,627 --> 00:04:56,290
You picture yourself in his place.

42
00:04:57,005 --> 00:04:58,871
Yes, try that.

43
00:04:59,674 --> 00:05:02,712
Now, in his final moment,

44
00:05:04,346 --> 00:05:06,338
his last breath,

45
00:05:06,515 --> 00:05:10,429
his last sweet second of life.

46
00:05:11,228 --> 00:05:12,469
And now, my friend,

47
00:05:12,646 --> 00:05:16,060
in full payment
for what has passed,

48
00:05:16,233 --> 00:05:18,441
I am going to pull the switch.

49
00:05:48,682 --> 00:05:52,926
And that, ladies and gentlemen,
concludes our regular performance.

50
00:05:55,230 --> 00:05:56,766
But wait.

51
00:05:57,148 --> 00:05:58,935
There's more to come.

52
00:05:59,025 --> 00:06:00,482
Oh, yes.

53
00:06:00,652 --> 00:06:03,190
What you have seen

54
00:06:05,699 --> 00:06:08,442
are imaginary horrors.

55
00:06:10,161 --> 00:06:11,618
But now,

56
00:06:11,788 --> 00:06:14,872
I can let you experience
real ones.

57
00:06:15,125 --> 00:06:19,790
Yes, ladies and gentlemen,
I do have a private exhibit.

58
00:06:20,213 --> 00:06:23,877
It is for the true connoisseurs.

59
00:06:24,050 --> 00:06:27,919
Right behind the curtain there
you will find

60
00:06:28,305 --> 00:06:30,342
the real Torture Garden.

61
00:06:30,515 --> 00:06:33,633
It is not for the faint of heart.

62
00:06:33,810 --> 00:06:37,269
For what you find there will be
more terrifying, more horrendous,

63
00:06:37,397 --> 00:06:39,309
than your deepest,
darkest dreams.

64
00:06:39,524 --> 00:06:41,982
Now, then,
who has the courage to try it?

65
00:06:45,155 --> 00:06:47,693
- How much does it cost?
- Well, since this exhibit

66
00:06:47,908 --> 00:06:50,901
is limited to a special few,
five pounds.

67
00:06:51,119 --> 00:06:54,738
- Five pounds? You got a nerve.
- And what about you?

68
00:06:54,831 --> 00:06:59,201
Have you the nerve to face the thing
that lies waiting inside there, eh?

69
00:06:59,294 --> 00:07:01,456
It's a thrill of a lifetime,
I guarantee it.

70
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,590
If you don't agree with me afterwards,
I'll cheerfully refund your money.

71
00:07:06,134 --> 00:07:08,251
Well, come on.
Are you all cowards?

72
00:07:08,678 --> 00:07:11,216
It is a lot of money,

73
00:07:11,556 --> 00:07:13,468
but I'd like to see.

74
00:07:14,142 --> 00:07:15,929
What about you, mate?

75
00:07:16,186 --> 00:07:18,223
I think he's a fake.

76
00:07:19,147 --> 00:07:21,013
Still, let's have a go.

77
00:07:26,488 --> 00:07:27,899
One moment.

78
00:07:27,989 --> 00:07:32,529
There are others here who may find
this exhibit of special interest.

79
00:07:32,869 --> 00:07:34,030
These two ladies.

80
00:07:37,874 --> 00:07:40,116
Come on, I dare you.

81
00:07:45,340 --> 00:07:48,128
Yes, thank you.
Now step right inside, if you don't mind.

82
00:07:48,301 --> 00:07:52,386
Don't be afraid.
I'll join you in a moment.

83
00:07:55,642 --> 00:07:57,474
Is this all there is?

84
00:07:58,019 --> 00:08:01,763
- It's not much to look at, is it?
- Not for a fiver, it isn't.

85
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,682
- You're American, aren't you?
- Yes.

86
00:08:04,776 --> 00:08:06,438
- Where you from?
- Hollywood.

87
00:08:06,611 --> 00:08:09,445
- You in films?
- Yes, my cousin's visiting me on holiday.

88
00:08:09,656 --> 00:08:12,569
I'm afraid she must
find it rather dull here.

89
00:08:13,785 --> 00:08:15,526
Yes or no?

90
00:08:29,009 --> 00:08:30,716
Where is he?

91
00:09:06,337 --> 00:09:07,794
Oh, it's just a waxworks.

92
00:09:08,590 --> 00:09:10,252
A dummy?

93
00:09:10,341 --> 00:09:13,675
- If you ask me, we're the dummies.
- It isn't quite what I expected.

94
00:09:13,970 --> 00:09:17,054
- What did you expect?
- Well, I don't know, but...

95
00:09:17,932 --> 00:09:19,844
Where is he, this...?
What's he call himself?

96
00:09:19,976 --> 00:09:22,719
Diabolo. You call me?

97
00:09:23,438 --> 00:09:26,897
- Who's your friend?
- That's a good question.

98
00:09:26,983 --> 00:09:29,396
This is a figure from ancient legend.

99
00:09:29,486 --> 00:09:32,320
Atropos, Goddess of Destiny.

100
00:09:32,572 --> 00:09:36,486
In the left hand, the skein of life.
In the right, the shears of fate.

101
00:09:36,826 --> 00:09:39,364
Each coloured thread
represents a human life.

102
00:09:39,454 --> 00:09:43,164
And the shears
have the power to cut it short.

103
00:09:43,249 --> 00:09:44,911
Oh, come on.

104
00:09:45,085 --> 00:09:48,123
It's just one of those mechanical figures
that tells your fortune for a penny.

105
00:09:48,463 --> 00:09:50,375
Yes, she can tell your fortune,
of course.

106
00:09:50,465 --> 00:09:52,502
That's the least of it. No, no, no.

107
00:09:52,592 --> 00:09:57,587
See, I promised you horror.
And I intend to keep that promise.

108
00:09:57,722 --> 00:10:00,840
This sibyl here
has a very strange magic,

109
00:10:00,975 --> 00:10:04,810
a very strange power.
For she is able to reveal

110
00:10:04,979 --> 00:10:09,019
to each and every one of you
the ultimate horror.

111
00:10:09,192 --> 00:10:11,149
Which is, of course,

112
00:10:11,361 --> 00:10:15,480
the horror that you have
hidden away inside yourself.

113
00:10:15,657 --> 00:10:18,149
The secret, in fact,

114
00:10:18,326 --> 00:10:19,988
of your own evil.

115
00:10:20,161 --> 00:10:23,654
A very old-fashioned word
nowadays, "evil".

116
00:10:23,832 --> 00:10:25,289
You'd prefer I say:

117
00:10:25,458 --> 00:10:30,829
"The primordial monstrosities that
lurk beneath the surface of the mind."

118
00:10:30,964 --> 00:10:33,547
But I prefer "evil".

119
00:10:33,925 --> 00:10:35,166
Just a minute.

120
00:10:35,343 --> 00:10:38,757
- Is this all you've got to show us?
- No, there is this also.

121
00:10:38,930 --> 00:10:42,799
That if you can gain a knowledge
of your inner evil,

122
00:10:43,017 --> 00:10:47,387
why, then you will have been
forewarned, and perhaps,

123
00:10:47,564 --> 00:10:49,305
that is, perhaps,

124
00:10:49,482 --> 00:10:52,020
you can escape the monstrous act

125
00:10:52,193 --> 00:10:54,105
and the hideous consequences.

126
00:10:54,362 --> 00:10:58,902
Are you trying to tell us that this
thing can really foretell the future?

127
00:10:59,075 --> 00:11:01,692
I'm simply trying to say
that what she foretells

128
00:11:01,870 --> 00:11:04,283
need not come to pass.

129
00:11:04,414 --> 00:11:06,952
Not if you heed what you've learned.

130
00:11:07,041 --> 00:11:11,285
Not if you shun the evil
that lies deep in your nature.

131
00:11:11,504 --> 00:11:13,621
I didn't pay five pounds to
listen to you preach a sermon.

132
00:11:13,798 --> 00:11:17,212
- I think you've lost your money, friend.
- Come here, young man.

133
00:11:18,219 --> 00:11:19,926
Come here.

134
00:11:20,263 --> 00:11:22,004
What, are you afraid?

135
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:29,057
You seem to doubt my word.

136
00:11:29,439 --> 00:11:32,102
How would you like
to be the first to learn

137
00:11:32,275 --> 00:11:34,187
what fate has in store for you?

138
00:11:34,569 --> 00:11:36,231
What do I do, ask it questions?

139
00:11:36,571 --> 00:11:39,484
That won't be necessary.
Just stand where you are.

140
00:11:39,908 --> 00:11:41,865
The figure will communicate
with you.

141
00:11:42,118 --> 00:11:45,452
- How?
- Through your mind.

142
00:11:45,830 --> 00:11:49,289
Just look at the figure.
Look at the figure.

143
00:11:49,375 --> 00:11:53,494
It can't hurt you.
Now look at the shears.

144
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,373
Look deeply. Deeply, deeply.

145
00:11:57,634 --> 00:12:00,843
Deeply, deeply,

146
00:12:01,012 --> 00:12:04,596
into the shears of fate.

147
00:12:47,058 --> 00:12:50,017
- Hello, I'm Colin Williams.
- I'm Nurse Parker.

148
00:12:50,103 --> 00:12:52,937
Yes, your uncle said
you might be coming for a visit.

149
00:12:53,022 --> 00:12:55,685
- How is he?
- His heart is very weak.

150
00:12:55,775 --> 00:12:57,607
The doctor says it could be
any time now.

151
00:12:57,902 --> 00:13:00,440
- I'll try not to tire him.
- Good.

152
00:13:00,697 --> 00:13:02,188
I'll be off.
Oh, if there's any change,

153
00:13:02,365 --> 00:13:04,607
get in touch with Dr Silversmith
in the village. All right?

154
00:13:04,826 --> 00:13:07,739
- I will. Thank you. Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

155
00:13:09,622 --> 00:13:13,411
Well, Colin, it's been a long time.

156
00:13:15,878 --> 00:13:19,838
- Yes. Three years, isn't it?
- It must be all of that.

157
00:13:20,466 --> 00:13:22,002
You're looking fit.

158
00:13:22,176 --> 00:13:25,965
- And you.
- My time on earth is short, and

159
00:13:26,347 --> 00:13:31,012
- since you're my sole living relative...
- Yes, I realise that.

160
00:13:31,644 --> 00:13:34,261
- And frankly, I'm very grateful.
- Are you, now?

161
00:13:34,856 --> 00:13:36,973
Yeah. It just so happens that

162
00:13:37,150 --> 00:13:39,267
right now I'm in a bit
of a fix, financially.

163
00:13:39,485 --> 00:13:42,819
I didn't invite you here
to discuss money.

164
00:13:44,115 --> 00:13:45,947
Sit down.

165
00:13:46,159 --> 00:13:47,900
- Here, let me...
- No.

166
00:13:48,119 --> 00:13:50,452
What I have to say is

167
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,697
of far greater importance.

168
00:13:54,542 --> 00:13:58,502
This may be the last time
we shall ever meet.

169
00:13:58,588 --> 00:14:03,708
Once and for all, I want to urge
you again to mend your ways.

170
00:14:03,968 --> 00:14:06,551
You can't expect
to go on like this forever.

171
00:14:06,637 --> 00:14:12,349
You must find a job, settle down,
make something of your life.

172
00:14:13,644 --> 00:14:18,139
If you could only understand this,
if you could see the light,

173
00:14:18,608 --> 00:14:22,192
that would be the greatest legacy
I could give you.

174
00:14:22,820 --> 00:14:24,732
You're absolutely right.

175
00:14:25,239 --> 00:14:27,731
These last three years
haven't been easy.

176
00:14:28,034 --> 00:14:31,493
Believe me, I've learned my lesson.

177
00:14:32,372 --> 00:14:33,908
Good.

178
00:14:35,083 --> 00:14:38,417
- You have a job?
- I've got one promised,

179
00:14:38,628 --> 00:14:41,336
as soon as I've cleared up
my obligations.

180
00:14:41,798 --> 00:14:44,165
Oh, it's not all that bad,
it's just a matter of a

181
00:14:44,342 --> 00:14:46,083
few thousand pounds.

182
00:14:46,219 --> 00:14:48,802
Out of the question,
absolutely out of the question.

183
00:14:48,888 --> 00:14:50,845
- Uncle Roger.
- I don't have the money.

184
00:14:52,266 --> 00:14:54,553
And what about your fortune?
My inheritance.

185
00:14:55,269 --> 00:14:58,558
- There is no fortune.
- Rubbish!

186
00:14:59,315 --> 00:15:01,398
Everyone knows you've got money.

187
00:15:01,901 --> 00:15:03,893
You've lived here
on your own, what?

188
00:15:04,362 --> 00:15:05,898
Thirty years?

189
00:15:06,406 --> 00:15:08,318
You've never worked.

190
00:15:08,866 --> 00:15:11,483
- How do you pay for it all?
- That's none of your business.

191
00:15:11,619 --> 00:15:14,327
That's where you're wrong.
It is my business.

192
00:15:14,997 --> 00:15:17,284
I've been asking questions.

193
00:15:17,625 --> 00:15:20,789
They say in the village that
everything you buy is paid for in cash.

194
00:15:20,878 --> 00:15:23,416
No, no, not just ordinary cash.

195
00:15:23,506 --> 00:15:27,466
But coins. Old gold coins.

196
00:15:27,552 --> 00:15:30,670
Please, I don't want to talk about it.

197
00:15:30,763 --> 00:15:32,425
All right.

198
00:15:32,682 --> 00:15:34,719
We'll talk about something else.

199
00:15:36,769 --> 00:15:38,681
This cottage, for instance.

200
00:15:38,771 --> 00:15:40,763
Very old, isn't it?

201
00:15:40,940 --> 00:15:43,148
They say in the village
it was deserted for years,

202
00:15:43,359 --> 00:15:45,601
before you moved in
and renovated it.

203
00:15:45,820 --> 00:15:47,652
There's talk about it
belonging to a witch.

204
00:15:47,738 --> 00:15:50,196
- Local gossip, superstition.
- Is it?

205
00:15:50,283 --> 00:15:52,946
Surely you don't believe
in witchcraft.

206
00:15:53,035 --> 00:15:57,405
This cottage was owned by
a harmless old woman, an eccentric.

207
00:15:57,498 --> 00:16:00,081
You mean a miser, don't you?

208
00:16:00,168 --> 00:16:04,333
A miser with a hidden hoard of gold.
And you discovered it.

209
00:16:04,422 --> 00:16:06,505
- That's the truth!
- Stop.

210
00:16:06,591 --> 00:16:08,958
Can't you see
what you're doing to me?

211
00:16:09,135 --> 00:16:11,092
- Let me alone.
- Not until you tell me

212
00:16:11,262 --> 00:16:12,753
where that money's hidden.

213
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,099
Colin, my medicine.

214
00:16:21,772 --> 00:16:23,980
There, on the mantelpiece.

215
00:16:24,066 --> 00:16:25,773
Quickly.

216
00:16:27,904 --> 00:16:29,395
Half a glass.

217
00:16:29,489 --> 00:16:31,151
Hurry.

218
00:16:50,468 --> 00:16:52,380
- The money.
- Please.

219
00:16:52,845 --> 00:16:54,177
I'll tell you later.

220
00:17:03,022 --> 00:17:04,229
Now!

221
00:17:06,484 --> 00:17:08,225
Colin.

222
00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:10,356
Oh, God.

223
00:17:23,668 --> 00:17:25,204
Damn.

224
00:17:44,564 --> 00:17:48,604
I was handing him his medicine
when he had this final spasm.

225
00:17:48,693 --> 00:17:52,027
They go like that sometimes.
One's seen it before.

226
00:17:52,989 --> 00:17:55,106
Seven o'clock, you said?

227
00:17:55,992 --> 00:17:58,029
What? Oh, about that.

228
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,577
I really didn't check the exact time.

229
00:18:00,746 --> 00:18:04,740
Oh, seven's near enough.
It's just a formality for the record.

230
00:18:05,001 --> 00:18:07,209
I'll complete this in the morning.

231
00:18:07,295 --> 00:18:09,252
Oh, thank you, doctor.

232
00:18:09,422 --> 00:18:12,915
- You're stopping for the funeral, I take it?
- Certainly.

233
00:18:13,384 --> 00:18:16,718
You don't mind spending the night
here alone?

234
00:18:16,804 --> 00:18:19,421
No. No, of course not.

235
00:18:22,893 --> 00:18:25,636
Well, look after yourself.

236
00:21:10,853 --> 00:21:12,435
Yes.

237
00:23:10,764 --> 00:23:12,300
Yes.

238
00:23:12,683 --> 00:23:14,549
I can hear you.

239
00:23:18,105 --> 00:23:19,812
Your name

240
00:23:21,191 --> 00:23:24,025
is Balthazar.

241
00:23:25,613 --> 00:23:28,697
You've come to stay with me.

242
00:23:29,116 --> 00:23:31,529
To serve me,

243
00:23:32,995 --> 00:23:35,612
as you served my uncle.

244
00:23:38,584 --> 00:23:40,951
You will

245
00:23:41,128 --> 00:23:43,085
reward me

246
00:23:43,964 --> 00:23:46,377
as you rewarded him

247
00:23:48,552 --> 00:23:50,544
in return

248
00:23:51,138 --> 00:23:54,176
for things I must do for you.

249
00:23:54,850 --> 00:23:56,637
My uncle

250
00:23:57,645 --> 00:24:00,058
was ungrateful.

251
00:24:01,815 --> 00:24:04,478
He buried

252
00:24:04,652 --> 00:24:08,316
you away in the darkness.

253
00:24:08,447 --> 00:24:11,940
But now you are free,

254
00:24:14,703 --> 00:24:16,615
and hungry.

255
00:24:21,335 --> 00:24:23,076
Hungry.

256
00:25:40,914 --> 00:25:41,654
No.

257
00:25:45,210 --> 00:25:45,950
No!

258
00:26:17,659 --> 00:26:19,241
Dream.

259
00:27:39,116 --> 00:27:40,607
<i>You've come</i>

260
00:27:40,826 --> 00:27:42,533
<i>to stay with me,</i>

261
00:27:42,703 --> 00:27:44,194
<i>serve me,</i>

262
00:27:44,371 --> 00:27:46,158
<i>as you served my uncle.</i>

263
00:27:46,290 --> 00:27:48,623
<i>You will reward me</i>

264
00:27:48,750 --> 00:27:50,742
<i>as you rewarded him.</i>

265
00:30:22,696 --> 00:30:23,436
No.

266
00:30:24,865 --> 00:30:26,606
No, not her.

267
00:30:34,041 --> 00:30:37,705
All right, I'll do it. I'll do it.

268
00:31:19,127 --> 00:31:21,039
<i>Mr Williams?</i>

269
00:31:22,714 --> 00:31:24,421
<i>Mr Williams.</i>

270
00:31:38,105 --> 00:31:41,394
Mr Williams. Mr Williams.

271
00:31:42,317 --> 00:31:46,527
There's... there's a man
out there with his head all...

272
00:31:51,326 --> 00:31:52,157
No! No!

273
00:32:29,781 --> 00:32:31,647
Good evening, sir.

274
00:32:37,456 --> 00:32:40,415
Not leaving us now, are you, sir?

275
00:32:40,500 --> 00:32:42,287
I've got my living to earn, you know.

276
00:32:42,461 --> 00:32:45,829
Well, I won't keep you. But I thought you
might be able to give me information.

277
00:32:46,214 --> 00:32:48,877
There's been some talk of a tramp
reported in this area.

278
00:32:48,967 --> 00:32:51,960
Harmless old chap apparently,
but we're on the lookout for him.

279
00:32:52,137 --> 00:32:53,969
You don't happen
to have seen him, have you, sir?

280
00:32:54,181 --> 00:32:56,594
No. I've seen no one all day.

281
00:32:56,766 --> 00:32:59,133
Now, if you'll excuse me.

282
00:32:59,352 --> 00:33:02,595
Oh, let me give you
a hand with this, sir.

283
00:33:15,494 --> 00:33:17,702
Why did you do it, Colin?

284
00:33:21,833 --> 00:33:23,950
What made you kill them?

285
00:33:24,544 --> 00:33:27,878
- Balthazar.
- Balthazar? Who's he?

286
00:33:29,257 --> 00:33:30,793
I don't know.

287
00:33:32,177 --> 00:33:34,715
He takes the form of a cat.

288
00:33:35,347 --> 00:33:38,556
But he's not a cat. He's inside me.

289
00:33:39,017 --> 00:33:42,055
He's in... he's inside my head.

290
00:33:42,229 --> 00:33:45,313
I see. He's inside your head.

291
00:33:45,398 --> 00:33:49,062
Oh, yeah. I know how it sounds.

292
00:33:49,736 --> 00:33:51,398
But it's true.

293
00:33:52,822 --> 00:33:55,155
Balthazar is real.

294
00:33:55,450 --> 00:33:57,737
How long has he been with you?

295
00:33:57,911 --> 00:33:59,948
Since last night,

296
00:34:00,622 --> 00:34:02,488
when I found a skeleton
in the cellar.

297
00:34:02,666 --> 00:34:06,125
- In your uncle's house?
- The witch's house.

298
00:34:06,211 --> 00:34:10,251
Don't you see? Balthazar must
have been the witch's familiar spirit.

299
00:34:11,007 --> 00:34:15,172
He made my uncle rich
with the witch's gold.

300
00:34:16,012 --> 00:34:19,551
In return for murdering, huh?

301
00:34:19,766 --> 00:34:22,930
But my uncle tricked him.

302
00:34:23,186 --> 00:34:26,179
He buried him away
in the darkness.

303
00:34:26,690 --> 00:34:30,104
Balthazar said he was ungrateful.

304
00:34:31,278 --> 00:34:32,860
Anyway,

305
00:34:33,113 --> 00:34:34,820
I freed him.

306
00:34:35,615 --> 00:34:37,197
And then he...

307
00:34:37,409 --> 00:34:41,369
He wanted to have
the same agreement with me.

308
00:34:42,330 --> 00:34:44,947
Now, you don't know
what it's like, doctor

309
00:34:45,125 --> 00:34:47,242
to have a creature

310
00:34:47,419 --> 00:34:49,536
whispering inside your head,

311
00:34:50,130 --> 00:34:51,746
giving you commands.

312
00:34:52,173 --> 00:34:54,085
And you've got to obey.

313
00:34:55,051 --> 00:34:57,543
You've got to obey or...

314
00:34:59,014 --> 00:35:00,550
Or he starts

315
00:35:00,849 --> 00:35:04,638
scratching and clawing inside.

316
00:35:05,979 --> 00:35:09,723
He forced me to kill the tramp
and Nurse Parker.

317
00:35:10,358 --> 00:35:12,270
We found the bodies in your trunk.

318
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,194
But there's one more thing
you must tell us, Colin.

319
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,442
What happened to their heads?

320
00:35:17,616 --> 00:35:20,450
- Why did you...?
- Not me.

321
00:35:20,785 --> 00:35:22,742
Balthazar.

322
00:35:23,163 --> 00:35:26,281
That's what he feeds on
when he's hungry.

323
00:35:27,417 --> 00:35:29,579
You mustn't let him
come back to me.

324
00:35:29,669 --> 00:35:31,786
- Please don't go.
- I'll be back in the morning.

325
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,588
No, you can't leave me
here alone, not all night.

326
00:35:34,758 --> 00:35:37,341
Balthazar will be hungry again,
and if he isn't fed...

327
00:35:37,469 --> 00:35:40,883
Don't you understand?
He'll be hungry.

328
00:35:40,972 --> 00:35:42,679
Come back!

329
00:35:42,974 --> 00:35:46,012
Come back! Please.

330
00:35:46,519 --> 00:35:49,262
Please don't leave me!

331
00:36:08,166 --> 00:36:09,782
Let me out!

332
00:36:09,876 --> 00:36:13,085
Get me away from him!
Get me away from him!

333
00:36:13,171 --> 00:36:16,289
Let me out! He's here! He's hungry!

334
00:36:16,383 --> 00:36:19,171
- Now, what's your problem?
- Look.

335
00:36:21,429 --> 00:36:25,469
There's nothing there. Now you
calm down and get some sleep.

336
00:36:25,558 --> 00:36:27,424
No, don't go away.

337
00:36:27,519 --> 00:36:30,307
He'll come back for me!

338
00:36:30,397 --> 00:36:32,389
He'll come back!

339
00:36:32,524 --> 00:36:36,359
<i>Don't let it get at me! Help!</i>

340
00:37:19,696 --> 00:37:21,403
Are you all right?

341
00:37:22,741 --> 00:37:24,073
You seemed to be in a trance.

342
00:37:24,159 --> 00:37:27,573
Just standing there
and staring into space for a minute.

343
00:37:29,205 --> 00:37:30,912
Only a minute?

344
00:37:31,624 --> 00:37:34,082
It seemed like days.

345
00:37:36,129 --> 00:37:37,620
I can't explain.

346
00:37:37,964 --> 00:37:39,546
I can.

347
00:37:40,258 --> 00:37:41,294
There is a theory.

348
00:37:41,468 --> 00:37:45,553
The past, the present and the future
are merely different aspects

349
00:37:45,722 --> 00:37:47,884
of the same moment
in time and space.

350
00:37:48,975 --> 00:37:50,557
Do you understand that theory?

351
00:37:51,060 --> 00:37:54,098
Then perhaps you can understand
that since a drowning man

352
00:37:54,272 --> 00:37:57,686
can view his entire past
in a few seconds

353
00:37:57,859 --> 00:38:00,226
he can also view his future

354
00:38:00,403 --> 00:38:02,611
by the same rule.

355
00:38:02,822 --> 00:38:05,064
Particularly if he's hypnotised, hmm?

356
00:38:05,241 --> 00:38:08,279
That's all it was. Hypnosis.
It's a trick.

357
00:38:08,453 --> 00:38:10,035
- No trick.
- What, then?

358
00:38:10,205 --> 00:38:11,662
A warning.

359
00:38:11,748 --> 00:38:15,037
What exactly did you see?

360
00:38:16,461 --> 00:38:18,202
- I'd rather not talk about it.
- Well,

361
00:38:18,421 --> 00:38:20,959
was there anything about it
that was true?

362
00:38:22,634 --> 00:38:26,378
It's true I have an uncle
who lives in the country.

363
00:38:26,679 --> 00:38:30,389
And I was going to see him to ask...

364
00:38:32,310 --> 00:38:34,267
- But how did you know?
- I never saw you before.

365
00:38:34,354 --> 00:38:37,062
I know nothing about you.
You are merely a customer.

366
00:38:37,398 --> 00:38:39,105
Who comes next?

367
00:38:39,734 --> 00:38:43,478
Who is the next to meet Atropos,
the Goddess of Destiny?

368
00:38:43,571 --> 00:38:45,813
What about you, young lady?

369
00:38:46,574 --> 00:38:48,611
Surely an innocent young woman
like yourself

370
00:38:48,785 --> 00:38:52,119
has no deep, dark secrets
in her mind.

371
00:38:53,832 --> 00:38:57,872
Why don't you? After all,
it was your idea to come in here.

372
00:39:06,302 --> 00:39:10,387
It will show you nothing
but what is in your own heart.

373
00:39:11,057 --> 00:39:12,673
Now,

374
00:39:14,102 --> 00:39:15,934
look at the shears.

375
00:39:16,062 --> 00:39:17,598
Look closely at the shears.

376
00:39:17,689 --> 00:39:20,397
Your eyes are fixed on the shears,
they can't look away.

377
00:39:20,942 --> 00:39:23,730
Look deeply, deeply, deeply.

378
00:39:23,903 --> 00:39:27,487
Deeply into the shears of fate.

379
00:39:40,044 --> 00:39:42,377
- What time is it?
- Seven-twenty.

380
00:39:42,547 --> 00:39:46,211
Oh, no. He'll be here in ten minutes.
I'll never get this done in time.

381
00:39:47,176 --> 00:39:49,008
So let him wait a while.

382
00:39:49,095 --> 00:39:51,052
- Who is it?
- Mike Charles.

383
00:39:51,973 --> 00:39:54,135
And he's not the kind
you keep waiting.

384
00:39:54,267 --> 00:39:55,974
This dinner date
could be important.

385
00:39:56,686 --> 00:39:57,927
You know what it can mean.

386
00:39:58,021 --> 00:40:01,105
Going to the right places,
meeting the right people.

387
00:40:01,190 --> 00:40:04,809
I know. It's the only way
for a girl to get ahead in this town.

388
00:40:05,737 --> 00:40:10,107
Look at these wrinkles.
And I haven't even had my shower yet!

389
00:40:11,534 --> 00:40:13,651
Go on, go take your shower.
Let me iron the dress.

390
00:40:13,745 --> 00:40:17,079
Oh, would you?
Carla, gee, thanks. You're an angel.

391
00:40:17,373 --> 00:40:19,865
What are roommates for?

392
00:41:10,218 --> 00:41:13,006
- Finished?
- Oh, Millie, it's that darned material.

393
00:41:13,137 --> 00:41:15,220
The iron was too hot.

394
00:41:15,306 --> 00:41:17,423
- Oh, no!
- I'm sorry, Millie.

395
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,512
- No!
- You can wear something else, maybe.

396
00:41:19,686 --> 00:41:21,769
You know I haven't got
any wardrobe.

397
00:41:21,896 --> 00:41:25,105
I went without lunches
a whole month to buy this dress.

398
00:41:25,191 --> 00:41:28,059
I'd let you have one of mine,
only I've only got one good one.

399
00:41:28,277 --> 00:41:29,734
And I'm wearing that tonight.

400
00:41:29,946 --> 00:41:32,905
Oh, no, he's here.
Oh, Carla, please do something.

401
00:41:32,991 --> 00:41:37,361
- Make some excuse.
- Listen, don't worry. I'll handle it.

402
00:41:41,708 --> 00:41:44,291
<i>Hello. I'm Mike Charles.</i>

403
00:41:44,961 --> 00:41:47,499
<i>Hello, I'm Carla Hayes,
Millie's roommate.</i>

404
00:41:47,672 --> 00:41:51,040
<i>- Won't you come in?
- Thanks.</i>

405
00:41:54,721 --> 00:41:57,179
- Millie almost ready?
- Millie can't go out tonight.

406
00:41:57,265 --> 00:41:58,927
She's in bed with the flu.

407
00:41:59,058 --> 00:42:02,222
- Well, can I just say hello?
- I don't think you should.

408
00:42:02,311 --> 00:42:04,018
That flu's kind of catching.

409
00:42:04,147 --> 00:42:06,685
Yeah, yeah, maybe
I better not go in there.

410
00:42:11,362 --> 00:42:15,572
- Gee, I'm sorry your evening's ruined.
- Yeah, it is kind of rough.

411
00:42:15,658 --> 00:42:17,490
Could have been
a real swinging scene.

412
00:42:17,577 --> 00:42:20,866
- Table for two at Danny's.
- Danny's?

413
00:42:33,009 --> 00:42:37,219
- Like it?
- Love it. All these people.

414
00:42:37,555 --> 00:42:40,047
- Isn't that Bruce Benton over there?
- Where?

415
00:42:40,141 --> 00:42:43,760
- At the table in the corner.
- Yeah, and Eddie Storm.

416
00:42:44,270 --> 00:42:47,263
- He's a producer, isn't he?
- The biggest.

417
00:42:47,648 --> 00:42:50,937
Oh, no. Mike Charles, of all people.

418
00:42:51,152 --> 00:42:54,520
With any luck, he'll be too interested
in his new friend to notice us.

419
00:42:54,655 --> 00:42:56,772
Come on, let's say hello.

420
00:43:00,453 --> 00:43:03,662
- Eddie! How's it going?
- Why, Mike.

421
00:43:03,748 --> 00:43:07,708
- Bruce. Mike Charles, remember?
- Yes. Yes, of course.

422
00:43:07,794 --> 00:43:11,253
Oh, Carla Hayes, Eddie Storm.
I guess you know who this is.

423
00:43:11,339 --> 00:43:13,877
- Won't you join us?
- Really, we don't want to intrude.

424
00:43:13,966 --> 00:43:15,252
Oh, go ahead and sit down.

425
00:43:15,343 --> 00:43:17,380
Eddie and I got some business
to talk over.

426
00:43:17,470 --> 00:43:20,634
You go ahead and order.
I'm buying Eddie a little drink.

427
00:43:25,311 --> 00:43:29,681
I can't believe it. Imagine me
having dinner with Bruce Benton.

428
00:43:29,774 --> 00:43:32,562
You know, I've had a thing about you
ever since I was...

429
00:43:32,652 --> 00:43:36,896
Ever since you were a little girl.
Go ahead and say it. I don't mind.

430
00:43:36,989 --> 00:43:39,652
- It just doesn't seem possible.
- What?

431
00:43:39,742 --> 00:43:41,324
Your having dinner with me?

432
00:43:41,410 --> 00:43:43,743
Or because I've been around
so long?

433
00:43:43,830 --> 00:43:46,163
Now you're embarrassing me.

434
00:43:46,457 --> 00:43:48,414
You'll feel better
after you've had a drink.

435
00:43:54,465 --> 00:43:57,833
What's with you? I've been trying to
get you on the phone for two weeks.

436
00:43:57,927 --> 00:44:00,089
I'm lining up production
on his new picture.

437
00:44:00,179 --> 00:44:02,637
- You know how these things are.
- Don't give me that.

438
00:44:02,807 --> 00:44:04,764
You've been freezing me.
Look, I've been knocking around

439
00:44:04,934 --> 00:44:08,473
this industry for 25 years. I figure
I'm entitled to a little consideration.

440
00:44:08,646 --> 00:44:10,638
I realise that.

441
00:44:10,731 --> 00:44:12,893
You know how important
this business is to me.

442
00:44:12,984 --> 00:44:16,398
- When do I get the word?
- Now, if you like.

443
00:44:16,487 --> 00:44:19,776
Great. Eddie, baby,
I knew you wouldn't let me down.

444
00:44:19,866 --> 00:44:22,483
You talked to them?
Well, what did they say?

445
00:44:22,577 --> 00:44:25,035
- Nothing doing.
- What do you mean, nothing doing?

446
00:44:25,121 --> 00:44:28,330
You know the pictures I've made.
I've got a right to belong.

447
00:44:28,416 --> 00:44:31,454
- You were voted down.
- But I'd do anything, really I would.

448
00:44:31,544 --> 00:44:34,628
- Talk to them again.
- I'm sorry, you know the rules.

449
00:44:34,714 --> 00:44:37,707
Don't take it so hard.
Have another drink.

450
00:44:37,842 --> 00:44:39,549
- Where are you going?
- Don't worry about me.

451
00:44:39,677 --> 00:44:42,966
I'll have another drink, lots of drinks.
And you tell your fink friends from me

452
00:44:43,181 --> 00:44:46,140
they don't have to worry about Mike Charles.
He knows how to take care of himself.

453
00:44:46,475 --> 00:44:47,841
But maybe they oughta worry,

454
00:44:48,019 --> 00:44:51,353
because Mike Charles
is just liable to take care of them.

455
00:45:07,663 --> 00:45:11,703
That's wonderful.
Would you really do that for me?

456
00:45:11,876 --> 00:45:15,040
Anybody who knows the titles of all
the pictures I've made since 1950

457
00:45:15,213 --> 00:45:16,624
deserves a break.

458
00:45:16,797 --> 00:45:18,754
Sorry to keep you waiting.

459
00:45:18,925 --> 00:45:21,383
- Where's Mr Charles?
- He asked to be excused.

460
00:45:21,469 --> 00:45:23,836
Another engagement.
I hope you don't mind.

461
00:45:23,930 --> 00:45:25,671
That's quite all right.

462
00:45:25,765 --> 00:45:28,974
Bruce and I were just having
a very interesting discussion.

463
00:45:29,143 --> 00:45:32,136
I was just suggesting to Miss Hayes that
she come down to the studio on Monday

464
00:45:32,355 --> 00:45:34,847
and make a test for that part
we have open.

465
00:45:35,608 --> 00:45:37,349
You mean the sister?

466
00:45:37,443 --> 00:45:39,400
What do you think?

467
00:45:40,112 --> 00:45:43,196
Well, I don't know.
It's the second lead.

468
00:45:43,282 --> 00:45:46,741
- What have you done?
- Television, mostly.

469
00:45:46,827 --> 00:45:50,537
Bruce was just telling me
about the part. It sounds fascinating.

470
00:45:50,623 --> 00:45:51,955
I'm sure I could handle it.

471
00:45:52,291 --> 00:45:54,749
Why don't we shoot some film
and see?

472
00:45:56,170 --> 00:45:58,457
All right, let's do that.

473
00:45:58,589 --> 00:46:02,378
Finks, the whole lot of them. Finks.

474
00:46:04,262 --> 00:46:07,721
You better believe me.
Finks, that's what they are.

475
00:46:07,890 --> 00:46:11,509
- Them and their "top ten".
- What top ten?

476
00:46:11,686 --> 00:46:13,348
Stars.

477
00:46:13,437 --> 00:46:15,099
Directors.

478
00:46:15,189 --> 00:46:18,148
Producers. The big ones.

479
00:46:18,234 --> 00:46:22,194
The ones who stay on top
year after year after year.

480
00:46:22,321 --> 00:46:25,780
Who never seem to grow old.
Never slow down.

481
00:46:26,659 --> 00:46:30,528
Brother, I could tell you
something about that top ten.

482
00:46:30,621 --> 00:46:33,580
And don't think I won't tell it
in the right places.

483
00:46:33,666 --> 00:46:36,875
I've had it. Up to here.

484
00:46:37,586 --> 00:46:40,374
Eddie Storm and all the rest of them.

485
00:46:40,548 --> 00:46:44,007
- Eddie Storm, the producer?
- Producer? Ha!

486
00:46:44,385 --> 00:46:45,751
Listen.

487
00:46:46,012 --> 00:46:49,221
If you only knew the real story
behind that character.

488
00:46:49,390 --> 00:46:51,473
I could tell it.

489
00:46:52,810 --> 00:46:54,517
Here.

490
00:46:55,855 --> 00:46:57,517
On the house.

491
00:46:58,065 --> 00:47:01,558
You make yourself at home.
I gotta go out back for a minute.

492
00:47:15,207 --> 00:47:17,039
You're not eating.

493
00:47:17,918 --> 00:47:20,786
I start filming next week, remember?

494
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:24,123
Now you know how I keep
my boyish figure.

495
00:47:24,884 --> 00:47:28,048
- And you?
- I'm on a diet.

496
00:47:33,142 --> 00:47:36,260
Excuse me, Mr Storm.
There's a call for you.

497
00:47:37,021 --> 00:47:38,637
I'll take it over there.

498
00:47:38,731 --> 00:47:41,189
- Will you excuse me?
- Yes.

499
00:47:50,368 --> 00:47:52,234
Boy, I never thought
when I went out tonight

500
00:47:52,411 --> 00:47:54,403
that all this would be happening.

501
00:47:55,581 --> 00:47:58,540
Meeting you, get a chance
to be in a film with you.

502
00:48:01,128 --> 00:48:03,211
I thought you'd wanna know.

503
00:48:04,048 --> 00:48:05,164
Sure.

504
00:48:05,257 --> 00:48:07,340
Sure, I understand.

505
00:48:07,426 --> 00:48:10,590
Don't worry. I'll handle it.

506
00:48:25,486 --> 00:48:28,024
Nothing important.
It's just a little problem.

507
00:48:28,489 --> 00:48:30,856
It's all been taken care of.

508
00:48:38,707 --> 00:48:41,996
- Where are we?
- Home. In your own garage.

509
00:48:43,170 --> 00:48:45,457
Oh, you're a real pal. Thanks.

510
00:48:45,548 --> 00:48:47,255
Hey!

511
00:49:29,967 --> 00:49:32,050
Carla, did you see this?

512
00:49:32,136 --> 00:49:34,753
Mike Charles is dead.

513
00:49:35,431 --> 00:49:39,266
He was overcome by exhaust fumes
in his garage.

514
00:49:39,351 --> 00:49:41,468
It happened last night.

515
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:46,064
- Didn't he take you home?
- No.

516
00:49:47,651 --> 00:49:50,064
He left the restaurant
almost as soon as we got there.

517
00:49:50,154 --> 00:49:53,693
The paper says it was an accident.
He'd been drinking.

518
00:49:54,033 --> 00:49:56,320
How could he take you
to an expensive restaurant

519
00:49:56,494 --> 00:50:00,078
- and then just walk out?
- Look, Millie, I hardly knew the man.

520
00:50:00,206 --> 00:50:01,993
He was your date.

521
00:50:02,082 --> 00:50:04,665
Let's talk about something
more pleasant.

522
00:50:05,002 --> 00:50:06,868
Hey, I made a good contact
last night.

523
00:50:06,962 --> 00:50:10,546
Eddie Storm's testing me on Monday
for a part in a new Bruce Benton film.

524
00:50:10,633 --> 00:50:12,590
A good part.

525
00:50:13,511 --> 00:50:15,047
Look, I know it sounds
cold-blooded,

526
00:50:15,179 --> 00:50:17,842
but if a girl wants
to get ahead in this town,

527
00:50:18,015 --> 00:50:20,678
she's gotta take her chances
when she gets them.

528
00:50:20,851 --> 00:50:24,390
And not worry about what happens
to anybody else.

529
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:26,642
I wouldn't want to get there
that way.

530
00:50:27,608 --> 00:50:32,148
Millie, dear, I'm going to get there.

531
00:50:32,738 --> 00:50:34,650
Any way.

532
00:50:39,828 --> 00:50:41,239
Another day, another dollar.

533
00:50:41,330 --> 00:50:44,198
- Tomorrow's call, Mr Benton.
- Thanks, Fred.

534
00:50:44,833 --> 00:50:46,415
Well,

535
00:50:46,669 --> 00:50:49,753
I see they've written
an extra scene for you.

536
00:50:50,422 --> 00:50:53,631
- You looked great in the shots today.
- I'd never have been in those shots

537
00:50:53,801 --> 00:50:55,667
if it wasn't for you.

538
00:50:59,932 --> 00:51:03,551
I got you something to show you
how much I appreciate it.

539
00:51:12,528 --> 00:51:16,613
- You can't afford a present like this.
- But I want you to have it.

540
00:51:16,699 --> 00:51:18,110
Put it on, okay?

541
00:51:20,494 --> 00:51:22,076
Thanks.

542
00:51:26,250 --> 00:51:28,583
It was quite a day today.

543
00:51:31,463 --> 00:51:35,252
I'm really beat.
Where do you get all your energy?

544
00:51:36,302 --> 00:51:37,463
Clean living.

545
00:51:37,595 --> 00:51:39,461
It certainly doesn't come
from overeating.

546
00:51:39,597 --> 00:51:42,305
You didn't even touch
your lunch this noon.

547
00:51:42,391 --> 00:51:44,724
- I'll make up for it tonight.
- Where are we going?

548
00:51:57,281 --> 00:51:59,944
Not "we". Me.

549
00:52:00,951 --> 00:52:04,615
I thought you said something
about going out tonight.

550
00:52:05,664 --> 00:52:10,784
I'm sorry about the hang-up.
Not tonight. Tomorrow night.

551
00:52:11,128 --> 00:52:15,213
Well, what kind of hang-up is it,
blonde or brunette?

552
00:52:21,972 --> 00:52:23,804
Two brunets.

553
00:52:27,478 --> 00:52:28,810
Your agents?

554
00:52:31,357 --> 00:52:32,939
In a way.

555
00:52:33,984 --> 00:52:37,148
I'll see you in the morning.
Good night.

556
00:53:04,723 --> 00:53:07,636
- Where's Bruce?
- You just missed him.

557
00:53:07,810 --> 00:53:09,517
But you didn't?

558
00:53:10,479 --> 00:53:13,392
Bruce and I were rehearsing
our lines for tomorrow.

559
00:53:13,899 --> 00:53:16,061
- That's all right, isn't it?
- Of course.

560
00:53:16,193 --> 00:53:17,729
Rehearsals never hurt anybody.

561
00:53:17,820 --> 00:53:20,654
That's why I have them every day.
On the set.

562
00:53:22,032 --> 00:53:24,649
What's the matter, Mr Storm?
You have some reason for disliking me?

563
00:53:25,619 --> 00:53:27,781
I didn't say that. You I like.

564
00:53:28,205 --> 00:53:30,663
You and Bruce Benton together,
that's a bad scene.

565
00:53:30,791 --> 00:53:34,125
Take my advice and lay off.
He's not for you.

566
00:53:43,929 --> 00:53:45,966
There he is now. Bruce!

567
00:53:46,432 --> 00:53:48,799
Bruce! Wait!

568
00:53:50,185 --> 00:53:51,517
Where did he say he was going?

569
00:53:51,687 --> 00:53:53,394
He didn't. He just said he had
a business appointment.

570
00:53:53,605 --> 00:53:56,188
Business appointment?
With two of the worst hoods in town?

571
00:54:08,620 --> 00:54:10,361
Don't panic. He's all right.

572
00:54:17,337 --> 00:54:21,798
Leo, help me get him
up to the car. Hurry!

573
00:54:23,302 --> 00:54:26,420
- Where you taking him?
- The sanatorium.

574
00:54:26,889 --> 00:54:28,721
Sunset Crest Sanatorium.

575
00:54:34,980 --> 00:54:37,973
- What happened?
- The operation's over.

576
00:54:38,275 --> 00:54:40,141
Dr Heim says he'll be all right.

577
00:54:40,569 --> 00:54:41,685
That's impossible.

578
00:54:42,112 --> 00:54:44,775
Oh, no. It's true.

579
00:54:45,073 --> 00:54:46,359
Dr Heim.

580
00:54:46,575 --> 00:54:50,194
My dear young lady, let me assure
you, there is no cause for alarm.

581
00:54:51,330 --> 00:54:54,198
- Only for silence.
- He's right.

582
00:54:54,500 --> 00:54:56,787
We can't have any publicity.
Bad for the picture.

583
00:54:57,503 --> 00:54:59,586
How can there be a picture
with Bruce...?

584
00:54:59,838 --> 00:55:03,127
The bullet has been removed.
He's resting comfortably.

585
00:55:03,717 --> 00:55:06,676
But I saw him. He was dead.

586
00:55:08,722 --> 00:55:11,135
- He's alive.
- Dr Heim's a great surgeon.

587
00:55:11,350 --> 00:55:12,716
He has his own techniques.

588
00:55:12,810 --> 00:55:15,678
Believe me, dear lady,
your friend is quite safe.

589
00:55:16,271 --> 00:55:18,763
- When can I see him?
- Monday.

590
00:55:19,066 --> 00:55:21,058
He will be back on the set Monday.

591
00:55:36,750 --> 00:55:38,457
Cut it!

592
00:55:39,086 --> 00:55:41,419
Great, Bruce, great. Okay, boys.

593
00:55:48,846 --> 00:55:50,758
Something wrong?

594
00:55:51,557 --> 00:55:54,971
- I can't believe it.
- Dr Heim told you he'd be here.

595
00:55:55,894 --> 00:55:57,851
Looks good, doesn't he?

596
00:55:59,314 --> 00:56:02,182
- I've gotta talk to you.
- Want you in five minutes, Carla.

597
00:56:02,359 --> 00:56:04,851
Let's go inside.

598
00:56:05,529 --> 00:56:09,614
Okay, now take it in a fraction.
Right, that's it.

599
00:56:10,826 --> 00:56:13,864
<i>Somebody fix that backing there!</i>

600
00:56:14,830 --> 00:56:17,038
When are you going
to tell me the truth?

601
00:56:17,499 --> 00:56:21,413
All right. You would find out
sooner or later anyway.

602
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:25,709
The man we saw in the car
the other night was Bruce's double.

603
00:56:25,799 --> 00:56:28,587
His double?
Look, I know his stand-in.

604
00:56:28,886 --> 00:56:30,127
I said, double.

605
00:56:30,387 --> 00:56:32,094
Let's face it, Bruce is getting along.

606
00:56:32,180 --> 00:56:34,467
He needs somebody
to share the load.

607
00:56:34,725 --> 00:56:36,091
After all, how do you imagine

608
00:56:36,268 --> 00:56:39,557
he's kept going as a top star
for over thirty years?

609
00:56:40,063 --> 00:56:41,850
Now you know the secret.

610
00:56:42,232 --> 00:56:44,815
But you still haven't told me
what happened.

611
00:56:45,611 --> 00:56:48,900
Just what you saw.
Bruce's double owed gambling debts.

612
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:51,856
He was taken for a ride and killed.

613
00:56:52,242 --> 00:56:54,108
Then Dr Heim didn't operate.

614
00:56:54,202 --> 00:56:57,821
No. He merely disposed of the body.

615
00:56:59,082 --> 00:57:00,823
Who is Dr Heim?

616
00:57:01,251 --> 00:57:03,208
No more secrets.
You know too much already.

617
00:57:04,087 --> 00:57:06,420
Perhaps I know more than you think.

618
00:57:06,715 --> 00:57:08,422
What are you talking about?

619
00:57:08,592 --> 00:57:13,007
I did a little reading over the weekend.
At the newspaper office.

620
00:57:13,347 --> 00:57:17,591
Some old clippings.
They keep a file there, you know.

621
00:57:17,935 --> 00:57:19,767
Called a morgue.

622
00:57:20,395 --> 00:57:24,139
- It's very appropriate, don't you think?
- What are you getting at?

623
00:57:24,566 --> 00:57:27,980
I thought I was getting at the truth
about Dr Heim,

624
00:57:28,612 --> 00:57:30,569
but instead I found out
something else.

625
00:57:31,406 --> 00:57:32,738
About you.

626
00:57:33,533 --> 00:57:35,320
On April 5th, 1944,

627
00:57:35,535 --> 00:57:38,744
...there was a speedboat accident
in the harbour off Newport Beach.

628
00:57:39,164 --> 00:57:40,871
You were thrown from the boat.

629
00:57:40,999 --> 00:57:43,787
When they took you to the hospital,
they thought you were dying.

630
00:57:43,919 --> 00:57:45,126
According to the story,

631
00:57:45,295 --> 00:57:48,459
you were rushed from that hospital
to a private clinic:

632
00:57:48,632 --> 00:57:51,045
Sunset Crest Sanatorium.

633
00:57:51,468 --> 00:57:55,178
The man who operated on you
there was a refugee physician.

634
00:57:55,847 --> 00:57:57,054
A Dr Heim.

635
00:57:57,182 --> 00:57:58,969
<i>Two minutes, Miss Hayes.</i>

636
00:57:59,142 --> 00:58:01,759
Yes, it's true. He saved me.

637
00:58:02,104 --> 00:58:05,848
- A wonderful plastic surgeon.
- He must have been.

638
00:58:07,943 --> 00:58:11,402
According to that newspaper story,
your entire skull and chest

639
00:58:11,571 --> 00:58:14,188
had been crushed beyond repair.

640
00:58:17,953 --> 00:58:20,036
I don't see any scars, Mr Storm.

641
00:58:20,288 --> 00:58:22,200
- I've had enough of this.
- Well, I haven't.

642
00:58:22,290 --> 00:58:25,909
I'm gonna see Bruce tonight,
and he'll tell me the truth.

643
00:58:38,598 --> 00:58:41,090
- Have you seen Mr Benton?
- I haven't seen him leave yet.

644
00:58:41,268 --> 00:58:42,679
Thank you.

645
00:59:13,091 --> 00:59:14,798
Main gate?

646
00:59:15,343 --> 00:59:19,804
As soon as Dr Heim gets here,
send him to Stage G.

647
00:59:22,184 --> 00:59:24,096
It doesn't concern you.

648
00:59:24,269 --> 00:59:26,761
Don't you see?
I have to know the truth.

649
00:59:26,980 --> 00:59:29,814
- There's nothing to tell you.
- Oh yes there is.

650
00:59:30,192 --> 00:59:31,524
Carla, please.

651
00:59:34,821 --> 00:59:37,404
You were the one who was shot.

652
00:59:37,741 --> 00:59:40,074
You were the one that we took
to the sanatorium.

653
00:59:40,243 --> 00:59:42,280
You'd better get out.
I'm not gonna talk about it.

654
00:59:42,412 --> 00:59:44,574
But you've gotta talk about it.

655
00:59:44,748 --> 00:59:46,831
Bruce, don't you understand?

656
00:59:46,917 --> 00:59:49,830
- I'm in love with you.
- No, you can't be in love with me.

657
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:52,754
Bruce, what happened?
What is it about Dr Heim?

658
01:00:10,190 --> 01:00:12,273
It's metal.

659
01:00:17,948 --> 01:00:19,564
All right.

660
01:00:20,033 --> 01:00:22,400
Look at it. Take a good look.

661
01:00:22,702 --> 01:00:24,694
You wanted to know
the secret of the top ten.

662
01:00:24,871 --> 01:00:27,659
The box-office stars who seem
to go on forever and ever.

663
01:00:27,916 --> 01:00:32,786
The ones who never age.
The immortals of the screen.

664
01:00:32,963 --> 01:00:36,331
Well, now you know the secret.
They are immortal.

665
01:00:37,008 --> 01:00:40,046
- It's Dr Heim.
- Yes. Dr Heim.

666
01:00:40,804 --> 01:00:44,639
He found a way of preserving
the brain and its abilities

667
01:00:44,808 --> 01:00:47,050
in a synthetic body.

668
01:00:47,269 --> 01:00:50,387
He did that to you and Eddie Storm?

669
01:00:50,814 --> 01:00:55,434
Yes. There are a few of us,
but only a few.

670
01:00:55,610 --> 01:00:57,476
And you don't have
to have an accident.

671
01:00:57,988 --> 01:01:00,321
But you must be
a very special person,

672
01:01:00,490 --> 01:01:02,482
with a very special hunger.

673
01:01:02,993 --> 01:01:04,825
Not for food, or drink,

674
01:01:04,995 --> 01:01:07,954
or love.
You can't have any of those.

675
01:01:08,331 --> 01:01:12,666
You must live to feed only
on the applause and the fame.

676
01:01:14,045 --> 01:01:16,002
For some of us, it's enough.

677
01:01:17,048 --> 01:01:18,960
I'd rather be dead.

678
01:01:22,596 --> 01:01:23,757
So,

679
01:01:23,972 --> 01:01:25,759
we are in time.

680
01:01:28,476 --> 01:01:30,138
You told her?

681
01:01:33,148 --> 01:01:34,980
Then we have no choice.

682
01:01:35,066 --> 01:01:38,104
- What are you gonna do?
- Mike Charles knew the secret.

683
01:01:38,361 --> 01:01:40,068
He wanted to be one of us.

684
01:01:40,155 --> 01:01:42,818
When we refused,
he threatened to talk.

685
01:01:42,908 --> 01:01:45,992
We couldn't risk that with him
and we can't risk it with you.

686
01:01:46,411 --> 01:01:47,652
Wait.

687
01:01:50,248 --> 01:01:51,955
There is another way.

688
01:01:52,125 --> 01:01:54,492
You once told me
about your ambitions,

689
01:01:54,669 --> 01:01:57,537
that you'd do anything
for fame and stardom.

690
01:01:57,964 --> 01:02:00,456
You can have your wish.

691
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:03,092
No.

692
01:02:03,511 --> 01:02:06,379
- How soon can you operate?
- Immediately.

693
01:02:07,015 --> 01:02:08,927
- No!
- Nurse!

694
01:02:16,399 --> 01:02:18,311
And here are the stars
of this production:

695
01:02:18,401 --> 01:02:21,519
Bruce Benton
and the lovely Carla Hayes.

696
01:02:21,738 --> 01:02:24,446
Miss Hayes, I understand that
your performance in this picture

697
01:02:24,616 --> 01:02:28,576
indicates that you'll soon be in
the top ten in filmdom.

698
01:02:30,163 --> 01:02:32,997
- Look, there's Carla Hayes!
- Isn't she a doll!

699
01:02:33,083 --> 01:02:35,746
A living doll!

700
01:02:42,175 --> 01:02:43,632
There, there, that's all right.

701
01:02:43,718 --> 01:02:46,005
Now, don't be afraid.
That's all in your mind.

702
01:02:46,096 --> 01:02:49,134
That was a warning
sounding in your mind.

703
01:02:49,224 --> 01:02:52,683
It's a warning of things
that can be, of course.

704
01:02:52,936 --> 01:02:55,223
For now, they are without
substance, they're images.

705
01:02:55,313 --> 01:02:57,930
They're the kind of things
that dreams are made of.

706
01:02:58,024 --> 01:03:01,813
Oh, the mind is a strange animal,
isn't it?

707
01:03:02,028 --> 01:03:04,691
It can turn on you like a panther.

708
01:03:04,864 --> 01:03:08,528
But, of course, like a panther,
it can be tamed

709
01:03:08,702 --> 01:03:12,946
by certain people. And that's a kind
of a blessing, don't you agree?

710
01:03:13,832 --> 01:03:15,448
I don't know why we came here.

711
01:03:15,834 --> 01:03:17,541
For the mystery and the excitement.

712
01:03:17,627 --> 01:03:21,211
But you have obtained more
than you bargained for.

713
01:03:21,298 --> 01:03:25,759
- You've obtained knowledge.
- You're quite a philosopher.

714
01:03:26,094 --> 01:03:27,926
Yes, I try to be.

715
01:03:28,096 --> 01:03:31,464
Now, who is next?
Who wants to meet the Goddess

716
01:03:31,641 --> 01:03:34,554
and take this fascinating journey?
You?

717
01:03:34,728 --> 01:03:38,847
- Dorothy, don't.
- Don't worry. I'm not afraid.

718
01:03:39,024 --> 01:03:40,686
Ah.

719
01:03:40,900 --> 01:03:44,894
Look at the shears.
Look at the shears.

720
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:46,691
Deeply, deeply, deeply

721
01:03:46,865 --> 01:03:49,482
you gaze at the shears.

722
01:03:49,993 --> 01:03:52,531
Look at the shears of fate.

723
01:04:32,619 --> 01:04:35,111
Miss Endicott? I'm Maxine Chambers.

724
01:04:35,205 --> 01:04:36,662
Leo Winston's manager.

725
01:04:36,748 --> 01:04:39,081
I saw from his diary
he was expecting you today.

726
01:04:39,167 --> 01:04:41,250
I thought you were interviewing
him yesterday.

727
01:04:41,419 --> 01:04:43,502
Yes, but he had to rush off to a concert,
as you know,

728
01:04:43,671 --> 01:04:45,378
so we thought
we'd continue today.

729
01:04:45,548 --> 01:04:46,880
I see.

730
01:04:47,050 --> 01:04:49,292
I'm afraid he won't be able
to spare you very much time.

731
01:04:49,427 --> 01:04:52,545
- He has to rehearse this evening.
- Thank you.

732
01:05:02,273 --> 01:05:05,607
- Milk and sugar?
- No, thank you.

733
01:05:07,529 --> 01:05:09,236
I really hate to stop.

734
01:05:09,322 --> 01:05:11,609
There's so much more
I'd like to know about you.

735
01:05:11,825 --> 01:05:14,943
If I gave your readers any more
material, they'd complain of eyestrain.

736
01:05:15,036 --> 01:05:17,244
I wasn't thinking of my readers,
Mr Winston.

737
01:05:18,748 --> 01:05:20,660
You're very flattering.

738
01:05:25,004 --> 01:05:27,121
You really do love music, don't you?

739
01:05:27,215 --> 01:05:29,081
Yes, I do.

740
01:05:29,426 --> 01:05:32,134
In that case, perhaps
you'd better meet Euterpe.

741
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:34,131
Who?

742
01:05:34,431 --> 01:05:36,639
Come in here, and I'll show you.

743
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:47,767
Oh, Euterpe, the goddess of music.

744
01:05:48,695 --> 01:05:50,277
Yes.

745
01:05:51,239 --> 01:05:54,323
Yes, it was a present from my mother
before she died.

746
01:05:57,745 --> 01:06:01,409
Euterpe and I have been together
for years now.

747
01:06:08,214 --> 01:06:10,501
Shall we play something
for the lady?

748
01:06:53,718 --> 01:06:56,005
I'm sorry.
I'm afraid that wasn't very good.

749
01:06:56,179 --> 01:06:57,636
Oh, I shouldn't have let you.

750
01:06:57,722 --> 01:06:59,930
You must be tired
after last night's concert.

751
01:07:00,141 --> 01:07:01,257
No.

752
01:07:01,893 --> 01:07:03,976
No, it's not that.

753
01:07:04,687 --> 01:07:07,805
It's just that
Euterpe isn't used to you yet.

754
01:07:07,899 --> 01:07:10,767
Please accept my apologies for her.

755
01:07:10,860 --> 01:07:13,773
Perhaps she doesn't like me.

756
01:07:16,241 --> 01:07:17,698
I do.

757
01:07:19,994 --> 01:07:22,361
I was just thinking.

758
01:07:23,039 --> 01:07:24,996
You're quite a lonely person,
aren't you?

759
01:07:25,166 --> 01:07:26,873
What makes you say that?

760
01:07:27,877 --> 01:07:30,290
This habit you have
of talking to yourself.

761
01:07:30,380 --> 01:07:32,872
I couldn't help noticing
this afternoon.

762
01:07:33,383 --> 01:07:36,296
I was talking to Euterpe.

763
01:07:36,886 --> 01:07:39,674
You mean I'm going
to have a piano for a rival?

764
01:07:40,265 --> 01:07:42,177
No, it's...

765
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:45,468
It's just that I haven't had time to...

766
01:07:47,188 --> 01:07:50,681
Believe me, Dorothy,
you have no rivals.

767
01:07:53,444 --> 01:07:56,278
It's no good.
I'm making too many mistakes.

768
01:07:57,490 --> 01:07:59,948
- Why?
- I don't know.

769
01:08:00,410 --> 01:08:01,742
Don't you?

770
01:08:02,495 --> 01:08:05,329
- How many hours a day do you practice?
- Quite enough.

771
01:08:05,582 --> 01:08:07,289
Until what time
are you out every night?

772
01:08:07,375 --> 01:08:10,038
I can't see what possible
difference that makes.

773
01:08:10,211 --> 01:08:13,045
Leo, I'm sorry
if I'm speaking out of turn,

774
01:08:13,214 --> 01:08:15,831
but I'm your friend,
I'm not just your manager.

775
01:08:16,217 --> 01:08:18,379
And I can't stand by
and watch that girl

776
01:08:18,553 --> 01:08:20,761
take over your life,
ruin your career.

777
01:08:20,930 --> 01:08:23,422
You sound exactly like my mother.

778
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:26,513
Whenever I used to bring a girl home,
all she would ever say to me was

779
01:08:26,686 --> 01:08:29,099
that it was going
to ruin my career.

780
01:08:29,272 --> 01:08:31,355
You're in love with her.

781
01:08:33,067 --> 01:08:34,729
Yes.

782
01:08:37,155 --> 01:08:38,691
And I think she loves me too.

783
01:08:39,073 --> 01:08:40,234
Well, in that case,

784
01:08:40,408 --> 01:08:42,991
you're just going to have to try
and make her understand.

785
01:08:43,161 --> 01:08:45,744
She just can't go on
being so demanding.

786
01:08:46,956 --> 01:08:48,697
Look, Maxine,

787
01:08:49,167 --> 01:08:52,080
you're a good manager
and a good friend.

788
01:08:52,378 --> 01:08:55,337
But you don't have to worry
about me in either capacity.

789
01:08:55,423 --> 01:08:57,790
Dorothy hasn't ruined my life.

790
01:08:58,051 --> 01:09:01,169
For the first time in years,
I feel really happy.

791
01:09:22,825 --> 01:09:23,781
Leo?

792
01:09:36,047 --> 01:09:37,583
Leo?

793
01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:42,376
Leo?

794
01:09:49,686 --> 01:09:51,769
What's the matter?

795
01:09:52,980 --> 01:09:54,687
Are you all right?

796
01:09:57,235 --> 01:09:58,897
Yes, of course.

797
01:10:04,283 --> 01:10:07,117
I was just working something out
for my next concert.

798
01:10:07,286 --> 01:10:09,994
I shouldn't have interrupted you,
but I've got something for you,

799
01:10:10,164 --> 01:10:12,577
and I couldn't wait
to give it to you.

800
01:10:15,503 --> 01:10:18,667
And we're invited
to the Harcourts' tonight.

801
01:10:23,428 --> 01:10:25,590
- Do you like it?
- Yes.

802
01:10:25,972 --> 01:10:27,759
Yes, it's lovely.

803
01:10:30,059 --> 01:10:31,766
Dorothy,

804
01:10:32,395 --> 01:10:35,354
- about tonight...
- Yes. Pick me up at eight o'clock.

805
01:10:39,026 --> 01:10:40,938
Yes, of course.

806
01:10:41,279 --> 01:10:42,486
Let's go and have a drink.

807
01:10:57,044 --> 01:10:58,751
Leo, what's the matter?

808
01:10:58,838 --> 01:11:01,000
Nothing.

809
01:11:02,133 --> 01:11:05,217
When I came in there,
you were sitting

810
01:11:05,636 --> 01:11:08,299
as if you were in a trance.

811
01:11:08,598 --> 01:11:10,760
I was just tired.

812
01:11:11,017 --> 01:11:13,555
There's no need to worry about me.

813
01:11:14,020 --> 01:11:16,103
Tell me the truth.

814
01:11:18,024 --> 01:11:21,358
Oh, very well. I suppose
you've got to know sooner or later.

815
01:11:22,904 --> 01:11:25,738
It's Euterpe. She resents you.

816
01:11:26,365 --> 01:11:27,401
You see,

817
01:11:27,575 --> 01:11:30,409
I've been trying
to communicate with her.

818
01:11:31,037 --> 01:11:34,121
She thinks you're hurting me
and preventing me from working.

819
01:11:34,499 --> 01:11:36,786
- She wants to protect me.
- Is this some sort of joke?

820
01:11:36,959 --> 01:11:40,293
Pretending that a piano is a...?

821
01:11:52,725 --> 01:11:56,389
No, I haven't come here
to talk about myself.

822
01:11:56,896 --> 01:11:59,183
But you've got to do
something about Leo.

823
01:11:59,649 --> 01:12:02,858
You've got to cancel his tour,
he's in no condition for it.

824
01:12:03,152 --> 01:12:05,235
If we don't do something,
he'll have a breakdown.

825
01:12:05,321 --> 01:12:06,653
Yes, I know.

826
01:12:07,448 --> 01:12:09,861
If Leo isn't well, it's because
you're smothering him.

827
01:12:11,202 --> 01:12:14,070
You're smothering him
with your demands on his time,

828
01:12:14,247 --> 01:12:15,738
your possessiveness.

829
01:12:15,915 --> 01:12:20,159
You just aren't the sort of person
Leo needs, believe me.

830
01:12:20,461 --> 01:12:23,329
- I love him.
- Do you?

831
01:12:23,714 --> 01:12:26,957
Or do you just love the idea of being
the wife of a world-famous pianist?

832
01:12:27,552 --> 01:12:29,418
Is your love real?

833
01:12:29,637 --> 01:12:32,721
- Or just selfish?
- Oh, you're the selfish one.

834
01:12:33,015 --> 01:12:36,554
All you're interested in is making
money out of Leo's career.

835
01:12:36,811 --> 01:12:38,643
First his mother and now you,

836
01:12:38,813 --> 01:12:42,557
and this ridiculous story
about Euterpe.

837
01:12:43,025 --> 01:12:45,392
- Euterpe?
- Don't pretend you don't know about it.

838
01:12:45,486 --> 01:12:48,854
You probably encourage it.
But it won't work. I won't let it.

839
01:12:49,532 --> 01:12:51,819
Leo belongs to me now.

840
01:13:05,464 --> 01:13:06,454
Leo?

841
01:13:08,593 --> 01:13:10,380
Leo?

842
01:13:11,470 --> 01:13:13,177
Leo?

843
01:13:13,556 --> 01:13:14,637
Leo! Leo!

844
01:13:15,391 --> 01:13:16,723
<i>Leo!</i>

845
01:13:18,144 --> 01:13:20,101
Dorothy?

846
01:13:27,653 --> 01:13:30,066
I heard the piano playing.

847
01:13:30,656 --> 01:13:33,899
- And then you answered the door.
- Yes.

848
01:13:35,536 --> 01:13:38,279
But that's not possible. You...

849
01:13:38,873 --> 01:13:42,412
You couldn't have come from
the piano to the door so quickly.

850
01:13:42,919 --> 01:13:45,377
I wasn't playing, it was Euterpe.

851
01:14:03,189 --> 01:14:05,932
- Leo, come here.
- It's only a metronome.

852
01:14:06,108 --> 01:14:07,474
Yes,

853
01:14:07,735 --> 01:14:10,318
and this is only a piano.

854
01:14:11,322 --> 01:14:15,441
There's nothing here
but wood and metal and ivory.

855
01:14:15,534 --> 01:14:17,776
It's got no life of its own.

856
01:14:18,287 --> 01:14:20,654
And it can't interfere with ours.

857
01:14:23,501 --> 01:14:27,120
You're tired.
We'll go away together.

858
01:14:28,297 --> 01:14:31,165
- Away from...
- What about my concert tour?

859
01:14:31,467 --> 01:14:34,130
Oh, I spoke to Maxine today.
I told her she'd have to postpone it.

860
01:14:34,303 --> 01:14:36,135
Well, what did she say?

861
01:14:36,305 --> 01:14:38,262
She'll come round.

862
01:15:08,963 --> 01:15:11,125
You're not angry with me, are you?

863
01:15:11,215 --> 01:15:13,707
No, of course not.

864
01:15:16,095 --> 01:15:19,054
I know I'm tired. It's just that
I've never missed a tour before.

865
01:15:19,140 --> 01:15:21,473
Leo, you'd better
make up your mind.

866
01:15:21,559 --> 01:15:26,475
Either we go away together,
or I'll go by myself.

867
01:15:28,441 --> 01:15:31,229
- You really mean that, don't you?
- Yes.

868
01:15:33,029 --> 01:15:35,612
In that case, I have no choice.

869
01:15:36,657 --> 01:15:38,523
When do you want to leave?

870
01:15:41,120 --> 01:15:43,328
Well, we could go tonight.

871
01:15:43,831 --> 01:15:49,372
We could ring Maxine from
wherever we are in the morning.

872
01:15:50,963 --> 01:15:54,047
You go and pack,
and then I'll pick up my things.

873
01:16:33,380 --> 01:16:35,042
Leo?

874
01:16:39,470 --> 01:16:41,132
Leo?

875
01:16:41,305 --> 01:16:43,922
Leo? Leo?

876
01:16:44,892 --> 01:16:46,349
Leo!

877
01:16:47,436 --> 01:16:48,927
Leo.

878
01:17:09,834 --> 01:17:10,574
No.

879
01:17:19,176 --> 01:17:20,508
No!

880
01:17:23,806 --> 01:17:25,422
No! No!

881
01:17:26,684 --> 01:17:29,427
No! No! No!

882
01:18:10,144 --> 01:18:13,353
Look what he's done.
He's frightened you.

883
01:18:14,023 --> 01:18:16,515
- No, I'm all right.
- What did you see?

884
01:18:17,943 --> 01:18:20,902
- Just an illusion.
- An illusion?

885
01:18:21,780 --> 01:18:23,112
That's very good!

886
01:18:23,407 --> 01:18:28,118
Call it whatever you want.
An illusion, a fantasy, a memory.

887
01:18:28,412 --> 01:18:30,745
Now, that's very good too.
A memory,

888
01:18:30,998 --> 01:18:32,785
but a memory of the future.

889
01:18:32,958 --> 01:18:36,793
A memory of the shape
of things to come.

890
01:18:37,171 --> 01:18:38,412
Now then,

891
01:18:38,589 --> 01:18:40,501
which of you two gentlemen

892
01:18:40,674 --> 01:18:45,089
will be next to take this plunge
into the river of time?

893
01:18:45,471 --> 01:18:47,258
Oh, not you, eh?

894
01:18:47,431 --> 01:18:50,799
Afraid. Are you afraid?

895
01:18:51,894 --> 01:18:53,305
You?

896
01:18:53,395 --> 01:18:54,101
No.

897
01:18:55,564 --> 01:18:58,898
As a matter of fact,
I've always wanted to, er,

898
01:18:59,276 --> 01:19:01,563
sample your wares.

899
01:19:03,072 --> 01:19:04,529
Very well.

900
01:19:05,157 --> 01:19:07,695
Very well, then. Look at the shears.

901
01:19:08,244 --> 01:19:10,452
Look at the shears, sir.

902
01:19:10,537 --> 01:19:14,952
Look at the shears.
Deeper and deeper and deeper.

903
01:19:15,209 --> 01:19:17,326
Look at the shears.

904
01:19:17,753 --> 01:19:20,621
Look at the shears of fate.

905
01:19:40,943 --> 01:19:43,401
First edition, isn't it?

906
01:19:43,696 --> 01:19:46,154
A great rarity to the collector
of Edgar Allan Poe.

907
01:19:46,323 --> 01:19:50,192
Yes, I know.
Might I ask where you obtained it?

908
01:19:50,327 --> 01:19:52,614
It isn't mine.
This gentleman owns the collection.

909
01:19:52,788 --> 01:19:55,656
Lancelot Canning,
this is Mr Ronald Wyatt.

910
01:19:55,749 --> 01:19:59,038
I was just admiring your collection.

911
01:19:59,128 --> 01:20:02,166
Does this volume
happen to be for sale?

912
01:20:02,339 --> 01:20:04,797
Oh, I'm afraid not.
As you probably know,

913
01:20:04,967 --> 01:20:06,754
only six of these
are known to exist.

914
01:20:06,927 --> 01:20:11,262
- Yes, I'm well aware of that.
- You are interested in Poe?

915
01:20:11,348 --> 01:20:15,888
Mr Canning is probably the world's
greatest collector of Poe memorabilia.

916
01:20:16,270 --> 01:20:20,514
I'm prepared to pay
a very good price.

917
01:20:21,025 --> 01:20:24,439
I'm sorry. My collection
must remain complete.

918
01:20:24,611 --> 01:20:26,819
Mr Canning has many other things
besides these books.

919
01:20:26,989 --> 01:20:29,527
More than you
can possibly imagine.

920
01:20:31,076 --> 01:20:32,783
<i>Al Aaraaf.</i>

921
01:20:32,995 --> 01:20:36,033
<i>- And Tamerlane.
- Yes. And Collected Poems, 1829.</i>

922
01:20:36,206 --> 01:20:39,415
- Boston edition.
- Yes. Cost you $15,000 at least

923
01:20:39,585 --> 01:20:41,326
at Sotheby's last year.

924
01:20:41,712 --> 01:20:46,127
<i>Prose Romance, 1843,
sold in that year for 12 cents.</i>

925
01:20:46,508 --> 01:20:49,717
Value now $50,000.

926
01:20:50,054 --> 01:20:52,011
We have much in common.

927
01:20:52,181 --> 01:20:53,968
If you should ever come
to the States,

928
01:20:54,141 --> 01:20:56,224
perhaps you might care
to see my collection.

929
01:20:56,393 --> 01:20:58,350
You live in America?

930
01:20:58,604 --> 01:21:02,348
My whole life is centered around
Edgar Allan Poe in every respect.

931
01:21:02,524 --> 01:21:04,561
Well, I will most certainly
take advantage

932
01:21:04,735 --> 01:21:07,398
of your invitation
when I'm in Maryland.

933
01:21:07,571 --> 01:21:09,984
- I shall look forward to seeing you.
- Yes, thank you.

934
01:21:10,074 --> 01:21:11,940
Excuse me.

935
01:21:33,430 --> 01:21:35,012
Mr Wyatt?

936
01:21:35,224 --> 01:21:36,965
I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.

937
01:21:37,059 --> 01:21:39,221
I must admit, didn't expect to
see you again quite so soon.

938
01:21:39,395 --> 01:21:42,354
It's interesting, very interesting.

939
01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:43,975
My grandfather's idea.

940
01:21:44,066 --> 01:21:46,649
He built this house
when he started his Poe collection.

941
01:21:46,735 --> 01:21:49,273
My father and I merely
followed in his footsteps.

942
01:21:49,655 --> 01:21:52,773
That's Poe's cravat. He wore it in
Baltimore during his last lecture appearance.

943
01:21:52,950 --> 01:21:56,660
You have other items
from his wardrobe as well?

944
01:21:56,954 --> 01:21:59,947
My collection is very complete.

945
01:22:01,166 --> 01:22:03,749
Did you know
that he played the flute?

946
01:22:04,294 --> 01:22:06,786
No. Did he really?

947
01:22:07,965 --> 01:22:10,833
There. Oh, I'm sorry,
I should've asked you before.

948
01:22:10,926 --> 01:22:13,043
- Would you care for a drink?
- Yes, thank you.

949
01:22:13,220 --> 01:22:14,461
- Whisky?
- Yes.

950
01:22:14,638 --> 01:22:17,255
- Or sherry?
- Oh, yes, thank you.

951
01:22:28,068 --> 01:22:30,401
Oh, this is lovely.

952
01:22:32,489 --> 01:22:34,105
Yes.

953
01:22:40,247 --> 01:22:43,831
- To your health.
- And to your collection.

954
01:22:44,251 --> 01:22:45,662
There speaks the true collector.

955
01:22:45,752 --> 01:22:48,586
My father was like that.
And so was his.

956
01:22:49,089 --> 01:22:51,832
Today they'd both be called fanatics.

957
01:22:52,134 --> 01:22:56,378
It's true. Collecting can become
a kind of mania.

958
01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:06,058
What a strange man he was.

959
01:23:06,148 --> 01:23:11,314
What a fascination he exerted over
the minds of those who loved fantasy.

960
01:23:13,363 --> 01:23:15,150
Or do you think
it's because people

961
01:23:15,365 --> 01:23:18,324
are fascinated
by the mystery of death?

962
01:23:19,536 --> 01:23:21,072
No one will ever equal
his knowledge

963
01:23:21,246 --> 01:23:23,863
of the secrets
that lie beyond the grave.

964
01:23:24,791 --> 01:23:27,158
Let us drink to the immortal

965
01:23:27,294 --> 01:23:30,378
Edgar Allan Poe.

966
01:24:08,043 --> 01:24:11,036
Oh, no. No, thank you,
I've had enough.

967
01:24:11,296 --> 01:24:14,710
I go on drinking like this,
you'll think I'm Poe himself.

968
01:24:19,805 --> 01:24:21,341
Thank you.

969
01:24:22,307 --> 01:24:25,891
Now, then.
Do you want to see downstairs?

970
01:24:26,311 --> 01:24:29,349
- Why? What's down there?
- The rest of my treasures.

971
01:24:29,439 --> 01:24:31,726
That's why you encouraged me
to drink, wasn't it?

972
01:24:31,900 --> 01:24:33,892
- You wanted me to show you more.
- Oh, really...

973
01:24:34,027 --> 01:24:38,237
Oh, it doesn't matter.
I was going to show you anyway.

974
01:24:42,369 --> 01:24:43,860
Come along.

975
01:24:48,208 --> 01:24:52,293
There's one thing you must
promise me first.

976
01:24:52,963 --> 01:24:56,627
What I'm going to show you now
will remain a secret between us?

977
01:24:56,842 --> 01:24:58,083
Oh, yes, of course.

978
01:24:58,343 --> 01:25:01,336
Good. Good man.

979
01:25:19,865 --> 01:25:22,232
You're a very privileged man,
Mr Wyatt.

980
01:25:22,326 --> 01:25:26,536
Not a living soul has been
down here since my father died.

981
01:26:07,829 --> 01:26:09,320
It's fabulous.

982
01:26:09,414 --> 01:26:11,747
Absolutely fabulous.

983
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:14,708
Here are my real treasures.

984
01:26:24,471 --> 01:26:28,181
Poe's original manuscript?
Yes, but...

985
01:26:28,350 --> 01:26:31,514
I thought they were all
in university collections.

986
01:26:31,770 --> 01:26:33,306
See for yourself.

987
01:26:33,522 --> 01:26:36,265
You saw his letters upstairs.
You recognise his handwriting.

988
01:26:36,441 --> 01:26:38,478
- This is the same.
- Yes, but,

989
01:26:38,652 --> 01:26:42,737
<i>I don't recognise the title,
The House of the Worm.</i>

990
01:26:45,992 --> 01:26:51,033
Is this an unpublished work?

991
01:26:51,456 --> 01:26:52,822
All these are unpublished.

992
01:26:52,916 --> 01:26:56,500
I've read everything
ever written about Poe.

993
01:26:56,920 --> 01:27:00,004
I never read any mention
of unpublished stories.

994
01:27:00,090 --> 01:27:04,334
Nobody else knows. But you can
see for yourself, this is genuine.

995
01:27:07,764 --> 01:27:10,723
I suppose you wouldn't be
interested in, er,

996
01:27:11,476 --> 01:27:13,058
parting with any of this, huh?

997
01:27:13,437 --> 01:27:16,430
That's right. I wouldn't.

998
01:27:28,785 --> 01:27:33,450
Well, what part did this box
play in the life of Poe?

999
01:27:34,833 --> 01:27:36,699
Oh, nothing.

1000
01:27:38,420 --> 01:27:40,127
Well, why is it here?

1001
01:27:42,424 --> 01:27:45,542
I'll tell you about it
when we get upstairs.

1002
01:27:45,635 --> 01:27:47,843
It's getting late.

1003
01:27:49,931 --> 01:27:53,515
Please, please. No, please...
No, I...

1004
01:27:53,977 --> 01:27:56,560
Oh, I must see more.

1005
01:27:57,481 --> 01:27:58,813
No.

1006
01:27:59,024 --> 01:28:01,186
<i>The Further Adventures of</i>

1007
01:28:01,526 --> 01:28:03,984
<i>Arthur Gordon Pym.</i>

1008
01:28:06,615 --> 01:28:09,278
Look at that paper, look.
Look at...

1009
01:28:10,786 --> 01:28:12,823
This paper is...

1010
01:28:13,246 --> 01:28:15,283
Why, it's almost new.

1011
01:28:16,625 --> 01:28:19,083
Oh, yes. Yes, look at...

1012
01:28:19,878 --> 01:28:24,122
Look at the watermark.
"Weber and Sons, 19-"

1013
01:28:27,177 --> 01:28:28,668
1966.

1014
01:28:29,513 --> 01:28:32,472
Well, that's impossible.
A mistake.

1015
01:28:32,599 --> 01:28:35,933
- It's just a trick of the light.
- Oh, it's a trick, all right.

1016
01:28:36,186 --> 01:28:39,270
And I want to know the truth.

1017
01:28:40,106 --> 01:28:41,938
- We must go upstairs now.
- No.

1018
01:28:42,108 --> 01:28:45,317
No, you're going to tell me.
You're going to tell me, or I'll...

1019
01:28:46,363 --> 01:28:50,778
I'll break my promise of silence.
Now, what's the secret?

1020
01:28:52,077 --> 01:28:55,411
Oh, yes.

1021
01:28:55,705 --> 01:28:58,072
You wrote these stories, didn't you?

1022
01:28:58,542 --> 01:29:02,377
Didn't you?
You wrote them, didn't you?

1023
01:29:07,676 --> 01:29:10,544
- No, I didn't write them.
- Then who did?

1024
01:29:10,804 --> 01:29:12,466
Who did?

1025
01:29:23,108 --> 01:29:25,270
- This box.
- You told me it had nothing to do

1026
01:29:25,443 --> 01:29:27,230
- with the life of Poe.
- That's right.

1027
01:29:27,445 --> 01:29:30,313
It had nothing to do with his life.

1028
01:29:30,782 --> 01:29:33,240
But it had to do with his death.

1029
01:29:34,619 --> 01:29:36,155
My grandfather

1030
01:29:36,329 --> 01:29:39,367
made money by selling cadavers
to medical students.

1031
01:29:39,916 --> 01:29:41,498
Robbing graves?

1032
01:29:41,877 --> 01:29:45,245
One of the graves he opened
was the last resting place

1033
01:29:45,422 --> 01:29:47,505
of Edgar Allan Poe.

1034
01:29:47,883 --> 01:29:50,341
The body, of course,
had crumbled to dust.

1035
01:29:50,719 --> 01:29:54,258
But he gathered that dust
and kept it.

1036
01:29:54,764 --> 01:29:56,756
In this box.

1037
01:30:00,103 --> 01:30:03,722
So you see, he really was
the greatest collector.

1038
01:30:04,232 --> 01:30:07,976
He even collected
Edgar Allan Poe himself.

1039
01:30:14,618 --> 01:30:18,032
You're lying! We both can see
the box is empty.

1040
01:30:20,498 --> 01:30:24,242
But... and this is the real secret.

1041
01:30:26,254 --> 01:30:28,746
My grandfather was more
than a grave robber.

1042
01:30:29,591 --> 01:30:31,548
He was a student of the occult.

1043
01:30:31,927 --> 01:30:34,715
Did you know that there are ways
to raise the dead?

1044
01:30:35,388 --> 01:30:37,596
To reanimate the dust?

1045
01:30:37,974 --> 01:30:40,307
Now, those stories by Poe,

1046
01:30:40,894 --> 01:30:43,511
filled with nameless terrors,

1047
01:30:43,730 --> 01:30:45,096
are written on modern paper

1048
01:30:45,273 --> 01:30:47,731
because Poe has been
brought back to us.

1049
01:30:48,151 --> 01:30:49,312
He's still alive.

1050
01:30:49,986 --> 01:30:52,023
You expect me to believe that?

1051
01:30:54,699 --> 01:30:56,941
You can believe what you like.

1052
01:30:57,452 --> 01:31:00,115
Now, you put those
manuscripts back.

1053
01:31:00,664 --> 01:31:03,031
We're going upstairs.

1054
01:31:10,382 --> 01:31:12,465
There's a third key here.

1055
01:31:14,761 --> 01:31:17,003
Is it for that door?

1056
01:31:18,473 --> 01:31:19,259
No.

1057
01:31:20,558 --> 01:31:21,298
No.

1058
01:31:23,812 --> 01:31:26,099
Then what's it for?

1059
01:31:27,440 --> 01:31:29,682
- Give me those keys.
- No.

1060
01:31:30,235 --> 01:31:33,899
No. You're hiding more treasures
from me, aren't you?

1061
01:31:34,739 --> 01:31:38,699
I want to see if you've been
telling me the truth. I want to see!

1062
01:31:38,910 --> 01:31:41,402
- You give me those keys.
- No, I won't!

1063
01:31:41,496 --> 01:31:42,236
No!

1064
01:33:36,444 --> 01:33:39,278
Mr Poe. I am

1065
01:33:39,614 --> 01:33:41,776
Ronald Wyatt.

1066
01:33:43,785 --> 01:33:45,993
I want to help you to...

1067
01:33:46,621 --> 01:33:49,864
To release all these new works.

1068
01:33:50,166 --> 01:33:54,911
Now, with your knowledge
of the unknown,

1069
01:33:55,630 --> 01:33:57,792
of death itself,

1070
01:33:58,466 --> 01:34:00,628
Knowledge of death?

1071
01:34:01,219 --> 01:34:03,006
I pray to die.

1072
01:34:03,763 --> 01:34:06,972
To die? Again?

1073
01:34:07,642 --> 01:34:11,352
I sought and found the unknown.

1074
01:34:12,063 --> 01:34:14,601
Made a deal with the devil.

1075
01:34:15,441 --> 01:34:17,353
Eternal life.

1076
01:34:19,654 --> 01:34:23,489
To preserve the works
of Edgar Allan Poe for the world

1077
01:34:23,658 --> 01:34:26,776
is the work of God,
not the devil.

1078
01:34:27,162 --> 01:34:31,748
To condemn a man to a living hell
is the work of the devil.

1079
01:34:31,916 --> 01:34:34,659
And one's soul
can only be released

1080
01:34:34,836 --> 01:34:37,829
if a living soul replaces his

1081
01:34:37,964 --> 01:34:40,126
in the devil's domain.

1082
01:34:43,761 --> 01:34:46,799
Is there no other way
to release you?

1083
01:34:48,016 --> 01:34:51,600
There is another way. By fire.

1084
01:34:53,771 --> 01:34:55,603
I have the means.

1085
01:34:55,773 --> 01:34:57,389
Here.

1086
01:34:59,527 --> 01:35:01,564
But, in return,

1087
01:35:04,365 --> 01:35:07,858
you must tell me more
about the unknown.

1088
01:35:08,244 --> 01:35:11,328
Yes. Yes, I will.

1089
01:35:21,799 --> 01:35:25,383
If you liberate one who has made
a pact with the devil,

1090
01:35:25,720 --> 01:35:29,088
you yourself become
the devil's slave.

1091
01:35:29,515 --> 01:35:31,427
You are trapped, my friend.

1092
01:35:31,601 --> 01:35:34,264
Trapped. Is that not a good ending

1093
01:35:34,479 --> 01:35:38,348
for the last story
of Edgar Allan Poe?

1094
01:35:59,629 --> 01:36:01,495
<i>You are trapped.</i>

1095
01:36:01,589 --> 01:36:03,421
<i>Trapped!</i>

1096
01:36:11,349 --> 01:36:14,092
No, it can't be.

1097
01:36:14,185 --> 01:36:16,177
What did you see?

1098
01:36:17,313 --> 01:36:18,929
I can't believe it.

1099
01:36:19,607 --> 01:36:21,894
What is it that you cannot believe,
my friend?

1100
01:36:22,652 --> 01:36:24,109
You.

1101
01:36:24,487 --> 01:36:26,319
It really is.

1102
01:36:28,950 --> 01:36:30,942
What do you mean?

1103
01:36:33,913 --> 01:36:36,280
You know what he saw?

1104
01:36:37,125 --> 01:36:38,411
Who are you?

1105
01:36:38,960 --> 01:36:40,292
Me?

1106
01:36:40,545 --> 01:36:43,083
My name is Diabolo, my friend.

1107
01:36:43,172 --> 01:36:45,334
Dr Diabolo.

1108
01:36:45,717 --> 01:36:48,084
I'm very well known
for my excursions

1109
01:36:48,261 --> 01:36:51,629
into the unexplored regions
of the mind.

1110
01:36:52,181 --> 01:36:53,922
Now let's see who's next.
Who is...?

1111
01:36:54,100 --> 01:36:57,309
- Why, you are, of course, aren't you?
- No, not me.

1112
01:36:57,645 --> 01:37:00,558
Oh, yes. You've paid your money.
You're gonna receive full value, sir.

1113
01:37:00,773 --> 01:37:02,765
No. I came in here to see...

1114
01:37:02,942 --> 01:37:05,901
There's something going on
I don't wanna know anything about.

1115
01:37:05,987 --> 01:37:08,274
I don't care whether you
want to know about it!

1116
01:37:08,364 --> 01:37:11,778
You are going to face that sibyl
and look into the future.

1117
01:37:11,868 --> 01:37:14,326
- I won't!
- You are going to do what I tell you.

1118
01:37:14,537 --> 01:37:16,324
- You are going to do...
- It's you. You're mad.

1119
01:37:16,456 --> 01:37:18,118
Mad!

1120
01:37:19,042 --> 01:37:21,876
But you're not gonna
get away with it.

1121
01:37:22,712 --> 01:37:24,874
Because I'm going to kill you.

1122
01:37:24,964 --> 01:37:26,546
I'm gonna kill you!

1123
01:37:37,435 --> 01:37:39,552
Come on, let's get out of here.

1124
01:38:09,509 --> 01:38:11,501
You were great tonight.

1125
01:38:11,886 --> 01:38:14,299
We gave them a good show
for their money.

1126
01:38:15,264 --> 01:38:17,551
A show that money
couldn't buy, Doctor.

1127
01:38:23,064 --> 01:38:26,182
Well, I've gotta get outside.

1128
01:38:26,401 --> 01:38:28,939
Gotta get ready
for the next performance.

1129
01:38:29,737 --> 01:38:33,697
So you decided to wait,
eh, Mr Wyatt?

1130
01:38:34,158 --> 01:38:36,115
I was interested in, er...

1131
01:38:36,369 --> 01:38:37,905
Making a deal with me too?

1132
01:38:44,127 --> 01:38:45,959
Oh, yes.

1133
01:38:46,421 --> 01:38:49,664
Yes, I think so.

1134
01:38:50,425 --> 01:38:52,291
At the right time.

1135
01:38:53,302 --> 01:38:55,134
Do you have a light?

1136
01:39:38,306 --> 01:39:42,266
Of course, I lose one or two
along the line this way,

1137
01:39:42,435 --> 01:39:44,643
but it's great for the sport.

1138
01:39:44,812 --> 01:39:47,304
And it's only fair, you know,

1139
01:39:47,648 --> 01:39:50,482
to give them a chance
to escape my domain.

1140
01:39:52,987 --> 01:39:55,354
But will you?

1141
01:39:59,827 --> 01:40:05,994
