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.

Are you back to the first name?

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

I have to go.

Where to?

I'll be gone for a few days.

- Are you taking 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 accompany you, I can't stay here alone.

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

And the horses?

They are my father's.

- 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 would sit in the back and look at everyone who doesn't have money...

They would look at me too.

¡Mira!

You're crazy? Do not stop!

Is dead!

Have you seen his eyes?

Come on! 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 these types.

My name is Claire.

Claire what?

¡Ven!

I will sleep in this one.

I don't want to stay here for too long.

I don't have a cent.

This fool will kill me.

- A little more wine? - No, thanks.

I would have preferred to stay where we were.

Where we are?

It's bleeding!

Are you coming back?

Don't you eat a little?

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

Is Ostend in Belgium?

Where is she?

He went to bed.

Didn't he say anything about the accident?

No.

Are you waiting for me here?

I do not know...

Look over there, the other one is alone.

Good night.

Well then you have 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 little hot in this hotel...

Can I take it off?

- Are you alone? - Yeah.

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 receive the permits? - Yes, it's not too complicated.

It hurts, it hurts!

- Is that you, Louis? - Yeah.

Help me, Louis! Help me, it hurts!

She had a knife.

Where is?

How will I know?

Duele me, Louis...

I will never see them... ever!

- To whom? - To 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 should have nothing left,

he must have sold everything.

Now, he's here with a girl.

Look! It's her!

I said I 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.

He wanted me...

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

They will follow me everywhere.

Nobody can tell me about them.

They never left a witness alive.

I know. This is bad.

I must 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 their club and hit one of them.

But isn't Blancarte in jail?

I reported him, he was looking for me.

He 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 for...

First pay off your debt, 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 bought these bottles of wine to help a friend...

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

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 to be instilled with a moral ideal.

But it wasn't always the same.

Anyone there?

Who is here?

In particular 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 difficult 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 don't think it was inhabited.

- Louis, the horses are hungry. - What are you saying?

I know you are hungry!

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

A storm is coming.

They fed me at 11 and 6:30.

At 9 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 prison?

I was sure you wouldn't forget me.

They always forget me.

With you I don't need to defend myself.

But I was fooled so many times.

I propose that we sleep in shifts.

Wrap yourself in this blanket.

What a healer.

What time does it dawn?

Later and later.

Recline the seat.

Take off your shoes if you want.

You do not sleep?

I'm thinking about that young woman...

- What do you think he's 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... A long 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.

¡Alone!

You can leave me here.

An employee will arrive in the morning.

I'll wait for him.

I'll leave after he comes.

There was a man who came to see me.

He had dirt under his nails...

It was very strong.

I have lived there for years.

And before?

I 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? - Yeah.

- Because? - Because I left.

Are you taking me with you?

That house where I was...

It wasn't really a prison.

Where we are?

Sleep, dear, sleep.

I'll open right away.

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

Where was she?

How will I know?

Do you think we could have a cup of coffee?

George! Go 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...

He tried to blind the gardener and left.

And they also told me not to notify the police.

Ms. Bastien doesn't necessarily want it to be known.

They treat me as if I were running an underground brothel.

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

This happens at a completely inappropriate time.

I just sold my house...

I left everything in a storage room. This week my son and I are living like gypsies.

Yes, I understand.

You see, dear lady, actually she was fine,

with all medical guarantees.

I was very nervous this last year.

But this man began to have dealings with her...

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

It hurt him in the face and he disappeared.

Just a question...

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

Let's say you went to see a specialist,

a psychiatrist,

and that he has examined it.

Yeah.

Do you think I would consider 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 his assets.

It was the most sensible thing.

My niece has to come back here...

and stay here.

It is the most convenient for everyone.

Especially for her.

Where can you go in your state?

That's right.

It is better to forget everything... and have him stay with us.

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

She was treated very well... She must return.

What are you doing here? Are you done with your work?

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

I would never have been able to recognize her.

It is our cross!

I will never be able to accept that everything now 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!

Careful!

Be careful with steering wheel movements!

Isn't a car following us?

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

Very far.

- Where we are? - Don't know!

Is there no path or 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?

Yeah.

- Shouldn't she be locked up? - No...

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

Be careful, they are surely after us.

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

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

It's for a wounded man.

He is on the side of the road, bleeding.

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

- It's far? - No do not worry.

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

¡No!

Is near. In an old factory.

I need a doctor, for a wounded 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 is a friend of mine.

Fast! He's going to die!

I know where it is, I can take it there.

Listen well... It's very rich. She is very sick.

It almost blinded the gardener.

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

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

No, I have to go.

I'll fix myself.

Are my eyes what you want?

No, I was wrong...

No... I 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 leave

Do not you recognize me?

Henri, come quickly! Do something!

We will 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, call the clinic quickly!

They found her!

They found her!

You must be tired, my poor Elisabeth!

- As soon? - They move fast!

Lady...

Come in, gentlemen. Come in, please.

They arrived quickly. 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 well.

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

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

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

Miss Wagener?

Yeah...

- The one that... - Where is it?

- Not here. - Elisabeth, I...

Not here!

It was here, but it's gone.

And the car in front?

He left without his car.

They came to look 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 is a delicate problem.

Please, gentlemen. Please you 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 person to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, you know it well, Doctor.

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

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

And it has to be done 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 to look for her.

When?

5 or 10 minutes ago.

Who, what two men?

I had never seen them. They were dressed properly.

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

What was he doing here?

He came to ask for help for an injured man he loves.

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

And where is the injured person?

I can take her there.

And why did you hand my niece over to strangers?

They were armed, ma'am.

She wasted a lot of our time!

Where is?

She doesn't know!

- We better go back to Italy. - No!

I want to find the witness!

Someone passed before us.

Do you recognize her?

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've probably tried it.

What did you find in it?

Well, if you know women a little,

after such a long confinement...

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

Madam, the two men...

What happens to them?

Those who kidnapped your niece are here.

Close the door, quickly!

We are not here! Is it clear?

We don't talk to these people!

We cannot expect trust.

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

to nobody,

as long as there is a crazy woman in my family at large!

It's very simple!

It's me they're looking for and they took his niece...

Make a change.

Don't hesitate!

Go tell them,

They can't do anything else.

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

We have some good hospitals here.

Are these the annexes?

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

Is what is said true?

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

from a stab in the neck,

in the middle of the show.

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

but now he hides it.

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 Vamos?

There in the garden.

I don't want to have anything to do with your affairs.

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

You won't have any problem.

She is the daughter of the Orchid.

The Lady will not agree.

We clean up a little and then we leave...

to Switzerland for a few days.

You promised me they will never come back.

Who is she?

She is the daughter of the Orchid. Remember?

- It's true? - Seems.

Orchid...

Alcide...

If she's not here when we get back,

It would be better for you if you weren't here either.

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

Actually... they are ageless.

I seem to be older than my age...

because I'm 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.

Pedro, that's Pedro!

There is Alcide.

It was very elegant.

There are the Berekians.

This is Dolores, his partner.

My God, poor girl!

Ese and Gyula.

No, it's Joszef.

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

because it has changed a lot.

That's poor Dolores.

We worked in the same circus.

I am Lady Vamos.

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

But I was famous.

That's not us!

He 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?

Don't know.

Sometimes in life, you have to turn the page.

Why does everyone say I'm sick?

Don't 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 the circus started again, at the end of 1944,

I couldn't resume my number.

Because?

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 murdered some time later, at the subway exit.

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?

Everyone 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 I 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?

Nothing. They have not arrived yet.

You don't have to make that noise.

I finished fixing the dress.

Probémoslo.

They are going to 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.

I had a wound on my arm and he cleaned it.

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 him die.

On top of the sewing machine is my makeup box.

There's some money there.

The station is on the right as you exit.

To cross the border, it is best 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 the same race, you know.

We shouldn't get hurt.

You can hide it from others,

but I know it.

I do not want to talk to you.

You can call it whatever you want,

but you are like me.

You're crazy like me.

I'm never wrong.

I have so many memories...

I didn't remember her this way.

I didn't think I was so isolated.

The noise is attenuated by the trees. You hardly hear anything.

Are there no servants?

- Are there no guards? - Yes, an old man, very harmless.

Live far away.

He will be here at seven, if you received my telegram.

What a mess this place is!

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

Don't you remember your room?

- Can't I sleep with you? - No!

- Do the doors close well? - Surely not.

Absolutely no one comes here.

And this cold that doesn't stop! Madeleine!

Madeleine, hurry up and light a fireplace, please!

Lady, there is someone sleeping here!

What does this gatekeeper do that lets everyone in?

Wake her up!

Move! What are they waiting for?

There's nothing here to look at.

Leave her alone, she needs silence.

He woke up! He wants to leave!

Don't let him go! Lock her up!

Be careful, it's dangerous!

Close all.

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,

They are looking for me everywhere.

I was afraid you were dead.

Get up! Tell me now!

Pretend I'm already dead...

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

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

¡Grave!

What are you doing? It's 7:30! Prepare dinner, come on!

Did you take your pills?

I'm fine.

Don't you have anything to tell me?

Anything.

Tell me what you have to say.

No.

It's like I'm looking at your father.

I couldn't stand 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! Is it much longer, Madeleine?

The line is dead.

What is happening?

The Guardian?

We're leaving right away!

What are they waiting for?

No, leave everything! Go get the car!

Fast!

Can I know what's going on?

¡No!

Close all!

Fast! The doors, the windows!

Faster!

Fast! Get nails, planks, fast!

They have attacked, I'm sure.

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

The other one will soon enter.

You never hear them when they come,

They just arrive.

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

You have no courage!

Prepare to be alone.

- Is everything closed properly? - Yes, except for the door under the stairs.

Put a chair and sit in front of it.

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

Arnaud! Came back!

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

and the best quality clothing.

I wanted to hear you talk about me!

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

Myself.

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 keep quiet?

Circumstances will, sooner or later...

will be forced to make decisions.

I'll explain everything to you...

Due to the greed of some people

She's 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 him.

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 about a sale, but it would be a mistake...

Thank God he 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 you everything you want.

They have nothing against me!

Are you looking for the injured man?

It's up!... It's up!

In the room in front of the stairs.

There is.

Do you hear me?

It's up...

with the crazy one

This is for you!

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

Let's go back!

Gyula...

Come on, bastard!

Anyone there!

I'm blind! It hurt my eyes!

Women are more resilient than men.

It's what we all hope for!

She is the owner. Everything belongs to her.

An organized schizophrenic can run a bank.

When can we see it?

Tomorrow morning, he is now on painkillers.

I liked you better with long hair.

She won't even recognize you.

Wait here. It won't take long.

Don't stay there. What are you doing?

Anyway, he's sleeping now. The meeting is at 5 p.m.

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

- I hope you have recovered everything. - Yes Yes!

I left this morning...

my flowers did not resist.

I wanted to thank you for...

Lady!

Lady!

Lady! 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 it!

I already know it! Come on, lady!

She entered the treasure room,

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

piled up on the ground.

And then he said:

"I will kill

the one who has betrayed...

and I will bring his head."

Yes, yes, I slept well.

It's a nice day...

I will start working 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 have the strength to fight now...

I feel so good.

Companies have their own lives.

Of course, of course... Money brings benefits.
