Original subtitles

Did you hear a scream?

You don't believe in ghosts, do you?

No no,of course not

there's an owl in these parts that has a wingspan of over a meter

Is there? In any case, go with god Dr. Leon

Hey, listen

- Good evening - Good evening

Could I find a carriage to take me into town?

- At this hour? - At this hour?

- It's barely 7 - But it's almost night

I don't think people will be sleeping at this hour however

Look sir, very strange things happen here after nightfall

If you want I can let you stay at my house until tomorrow

but don't try to get anyone to go outside

when the light's gone

- Is town far? - Following that road

it's about a kilometer straight ahead, you can't miss it,

but I advise you to spend the night here,

you'll have to pass by the cemetery and-

The dead don't scare me, and neither do the living.

As you can see

I can defend myself quite well

- Could you send me that suitcase tomorrow? - Where will you be staying?

- At the home of Count Mihaly - The Count? But the Count's dead

- I know, I'm... I was his nephew - Requiescat in pace

May god protect you

If you aren't a spirit

you don't know how close you are to becoming one

Open up, I've found a dead woman!

A woman hanged herself, can no one hear me?

Open up! Listen to me, a woman is dead!

- Hey, listen! - Don't answer

Open up please, I need help!

Why don't you answer you wretches?

Are you all dead? Open up! There's a dead woman here!

Is no one home?

- What do you want? - I've found-

I found a dead woman next to the cemetery

Go to town hall and inform a guard

I don't know where it is, why don't you come with me?

- Look somewhere else! - What's wrong, have you gone crazy?

Didn't you hear that a person has died?

- I told you to leave! - Ivan.

Open the door, let him in

I beg you to forgive me,

but I'm a stranger and when coming into town

I found a woman's body.

She committed suicide by hanging herself from a tree

Accompany the gentleman to the mayor's home,

he wouldn't find anyone in the town hall at this hour

What's the matter, is the town deserted?

- No, why? - No one except you has answered my calls

You must excuse them, people are very superstitious here

and ghost stories spread quickly. They were surely afraid

Who? Who is the woman in the painting?

My step daughter. Do you know her?

It's her, it's the woman I found hanging next to the cemetery!

Inspector Durban...

has come from the city to take charge of the investigation

It seems they don't have much faith in our competence there

Mr. Mayor, you can't be serious

When did you decide to come to Kopheg Mr. Chekov?

I had just received the telegram from the notary.

I left immediately

I sent is as soon as we opened the will

and discovered he was also an heir to the Count

- Did you know the terms of the will? - No, not at all

- I didn't speak with my uncle much - Yes, I understand

And from a legal perspective, is the will valid?

- What are you trying to say? - There's a widow,

- I suppose you were truly married? - You are offending me

Forgive me madam, that wasn't my intent

The legacy is correct.

The majority of the inheritance goes to Ms. Mary,

the Count's daughter.

The lady Countess receives what belongs to her according to law

How amusing, according to law! Four properties without farmers,

you mean without renters! That pig imagined I'd work them myself!

- Where are you going? - With her, the lady might need-

The services of a chambermaid? Then Ms. Doris can attend her better

Please

You have no right to detain me!

You think so? Did you forget we're investigating a murder?

Murder? But Ms. Mary committed suicide

Yes? Could you tell me how?

- Well, I don't know - Maybe she tied the rope around her neck,

tied the other end to a branch,

then climbed up the tree and threw herself off it,

don't you think?

We must recognize that though uncomfortable

that could have been the procedure

Of course, that is if it weren't for signs on the ground that indicate

the body had been dragged,

and if a recently fired revolver bearing the victim's fingerprints

hadn't appeared without a single trace of blood near it

You will understand that once she decided to commit suicide

it would have been infinitely more comfortable putting the gun to her temple

and blowing her head off with a single shot

You're saying that they killed her first and then they hanged her

- Exactly - But that's absurd! Why?

If they had strangled her the rope would have erased the fingerprints

and caused people to assume it was suicide,

does that seem like a motive?

I've given her a sedative, she'll rest now

Mr. Nicolai, according to the will of the deceased Count,

what did Mr. Chekov inherit?

An annual stipend and the guardianship of Ms...

of the late Ms. Mary

And how does Mr. Chekov benefit from her death?

I protest Inspector! I'm being accused of-

No one's accusing you yet. Answer Mr. Notary

He becomes sole inheritor

Igor, come, I need you

Igor, come

Igor! Igor!

Forgive me, I won't do it again

Lust is a sin

I love you,

only you, I won't do it again

- Your report Doctor? - Natural death

- What did you say? - The girl died from a heart attack

When they hanged her she was already dead

Then we have to discard the murder theory

Technically yes, but...

Is there some doubt?

You can murder directly and indirectly

This is the case and here I leave science and voice my personal opinion

- because Ms. Mary died of fright - I agree with my colleague,

her face bore a rictus of terror,

her limbs were completely contorted

If we add all that

to the climate of mystery in which the death was caused...

They say the dead carry out their orgies in that cemetery

I reiterate my condolences

I don't trust that gravedigger,

he's a strange sort who might be dangerous

Do you really want to search his house?

Yes, we might find a clue

Look, it's here

You go that way, I'll go this way, but be careful

- What was there? - Nothing

Stand aside

A photographic machine

Look in that cupboard

- Magnesium - So I see

Women's undergarments, he must be a pig

Inspector, look at this

Pour us a glass of cognac daughter, these pictures have upset my stomach

So he's the killer

Igor is a necrophile, a fiend we must remove from society

I don't think he's killed anyone but he hanged Ms. Mary,

we must find him at any cost

I'll find him, have no fear. The whole town has offered to help

and there won't be a single meter that won't be carefully searched

Just in case you should be armed and take care not to go out at night

I'm going back to the city, the case is solved and-

- What's wrong daughter? - What was in the window?

It was Igor!

Are you sure? Follow me, we have to catch him

Go that way

You go under, we have to surround him or else he'll escape

- The tomb of Mihaly? - Yes, that's it

He couldn't have vanished into thin air,

I'm sure there's a secret passage

Tomorrow we'll search the cemetery carefully

You can leave without worries Inspector

Thank you for everything Dr. leone,

I'm always at your disposal

So long Inspector, may you have a good journey

- Goodbye - Goodbye

With your permission I'll be going to bed

Try to rest. Would you like a sedative?

Yes, thank you. Today has been a trying and my nerves are on edge

Let's trust tomorrow will be more peaceful

Forgive me Mr. Chekov,

but I'd like to ask what my position here will be

Let's leave it until tomorrow,

I don't know if the pill you gave me is miraculous

or it's just exhaustion but the truth is I'm falling asleep

- I'll accompany you to your room - Thank you. Goodnight Doctor

Did you catch him Mr. Chekov?

No, we followed him to the cemetery but he disappeared

I'm terrified, that terrible man...

Thank you dear, you can go

I've prepared the bed sir, and I've left a bottle of brandy

Thank you

If you need anything the bell rings directly in my room

Very well, you can go

Shall I accompany you to your room lady Countess?

You've been told you can go, the Countess and I are talking

Madam, today has been a very hard day for you,

it'd be best if you rested alone

Listen Ivan

Don't force me to make you go away

- You sir? - Yes, by my own hand

Now take your things and leave this house

Ivan, what are you doing? Enough Ivan, I order you!

Get out of here

You're an imbecile Mr. Chekov,

you'll learn that one day if they don't murder you first

Out I said, out!

Leave!

I know what's going on here

and soon you'll be at my feet begging me to tell you!

- Yes, but in the meantime leave - I'm the master!

Get out of here cretin, don't force me to put a bullet in your leg

I'll rip your and Mr. Chekov's skin off! You'll pay, you'll pay!

What happened?

I'm sorry Professor but it seems we'll have to make our own breakfasts,

I've just fired the butler. Goodnight

Mr. Chekov

I'd like to thank you

I've always disliked ill-mannered people

One day I'll tell you everything, you don't know what my life here is like

You're a man of the world and will understand me,

not like this bunch of rabble

But now come, we'll have a drink, I think we need one

Let's leave it for another time

I'm very tired and I fear I wouldn't be an entertaining enough guest

As you wish

Ms. Mary, you know?

Ms. Mary, murdered. The Count too

They'll kill everyone I tell you,

- it's them, the dead! - Why don't you tell the police?

No, no police, bad men,

only want to send Igor to jail!

No Igor in jail! Never!

Serge, Serge, what's wrong? Let me in!

- I'm sorry Serge, did I hurt you? - Watch out for him

For who? Who are you talking about?

The gravedigger.

He was here, he hit me with a-

There's no one here,you must have fainted and imagined that-

- Well the blood is real - Let me see

It's nothing serious, the candelabra must have done it

Come to my room, I'll cure you

Did you invite me in for a drink before I did I dream that as well?

Does my room surprise you? I practice black magic

Here. Drink it all, it'll help you relax

Lie face down near that light

I hope the occult sciences don't frighten you

I've known witches in Harlem,

sorcerers in Africa and holy men in Tibet,

and to be honest I don't believe much in their craft

- I'll convince you - That's possible,

none of them was as charming as you

What sort of magic philtre did you put there?

Just simple vodka mixed with a coagulant,

my husband used it when he cut himself shaving

- I think I'm getting drunk - Why?

- You seem prettier and prettier - And you think I'm not?

- And I'm imagining you naked - I am naked

I feel tired and want to rest

- Nadia - I'm not Nadia

Doris? I can explain,

- last night- - There's no need,

it's easily understood

I came to wake you up, it's 9:30

I had just woken up and then-

Don't worry, Doris won't be shocked.

We all have a skeleton in our closet, right?

I've prepared breakfast, it's ready downstairs

Thank you

- What's wrong daughter? - Nothing

If looks could kill

you would have left a trail of bodies through the hall and stairs

- Let's leave here Father - What happened Doris, tell me

I'm not willing to serve as a maid to that whore any longer!

What are you saying? That's not language fit for a lady

- They might hear you - I'm sick of it.

I didn't mind taking care of the house for the Count

out of gratitude for how he treated you,

but now that he's dead I don't plan to continue this way

Don't worry, if Chekov fired the butler he'll soon hire another,

it's obvious he's used to living well,

you'll see how things will turn out alright

Mr. Chekov will close the house and we'll all have to leave

Why do you say that?

- They spent the night together - What?

He'll convince her to get rid of everything for money,

it's what no one managed to do when they thought she was the sole heir

It's a shame, but I fear you're right

And you're not going to do anything?

What will happen to your laboratory and your work?

I'll start again someplace else. The inheritance is his

and to tell you the truth, I understand them.

No one is old enough to bury themselves here

Thank you Professor, you've always been a gentleman

Doris dear, would you get me a cup of tea?

- I'm very sorry Countess, forgive me - Useless wretch!

"Forgive me", you want to fix everything with that!

It's a good thing you'll soon be out of my sight forever

Come here

This is my laboratory

Forgive me for delaying your breakfast but,

I prefer to speak with you here

The tension in the dining room was greater than here

Nadia and my daughter don't get along particularly well

Have you considered what you'll do with the house,

- with the laboratory? - What was your position here?

The Count Mihaly and I were associates, you could say

He'd pay for my studies, my experiments, my machines,

and in exchange he'd take equal credit for my books

- You're joking - Not at all

Then his reputation, his prestige as a scientist

I gave it to him.

Your late uncle was tremendously vain as a person,

but as a scientist he was truly mediocre,

that's why I'm interested in knowing your plans,

what you decide will have a considerable influence on my future

I suppose my uncle would have liked to have finished all your projects,

- how long might it take? - I can't give you a date,

it's a matter of a series of studies without a precise goal

I'm investigating the electric cloud that escapes a body when it dies

Some scientists have maintained that that cloud

is the soul abandoning the body

Look

The frog is dead

Nonetheless, come

But it's still alive!

It moves because I administer a greater electrical current

than that which it lost

What would happen if we managed to make that charge remain

in the body after death?

In the end, as you can see these aren't experiments

that could draw the attention of a patron

Yes, I believe so, in any case don't worry,

no matter what you decide you'll have full use of the laboratory

Thank you, you can count on my eternal gratitude

It's not worth that, we'll speak about this later

Where are you coming from?

Professor Leon was showing me the laboratory,

I think we should give it to him

Are you crazy? Those gadgets have cost a lot of money!

My husband was a megalomaniac willing to pay a fortune

to put his name on a book

while he denied me jewels, perfumes

and the most necessary things for a lady,

I'm not willing-!

Alright, that is, I mean...

Well...

- I trust you're not the same - You can be sure I'm not

- Was he orderly? - Who?

You're... my uncle

Enough to make you nauseous

Then he'll have kept receipts for all those machines

I suppose they'll be in the desk in his room on the second floor

You see, it had been some time since we had slept together

Very well, I'm going to look for those papers

I'd like to know what he left me,

I wouldn't like to inherit a mountain of debts

Forgive me, I noticed I was being followed and I was afraid it was Igor

- But what were you trying to do? - I wanted to talk to you alone

That woman has a habit of listening at doors

Nadia...

Nadia's convinced you to sell all this, right?

Yes, in a sense

I'd like to ask you to keep things as they are

Why?

For my father.

His work is his reason for living and if he left it now

What I meant is what would I gain by this

I can offer you the same thing she does

- and I'm younger - Could you we try?

There are no trials, just yes or no

I don't like to make blind purchases

without making sure of the quality of the merchandise first

Come

Yes or no?

You're not bad, even if you do lack expertise

That gives the merchandise a greater value, doesn't it?

Of course it does

Go on, undress

What are you saying?

You offered me the same thing she did,

- isn't that so? - But not like that

Alright, if you don't want to all you have to do is undo the lock,

open the door and leave

Enough, you're the stupidest brat I've ever met in my life

In any case I've just told your father

he could count on the laboratory no matter what

Thank you

Go on, get dressed, I might change my mind

There's something very strange about Count Mihaly's death

and that of his daughter

Why did they hang Mary after she died? Who did it?

- And my uncle, what did he die of? - Of a brain hemorrhage

He had a tumor for some time

Yes, it all seems normal, but...

Serge, if the Inspector has solved the case

why do you want to stir things up again?

- Mary worries me - But Mary is dead

Yes, but why did she go to the cemetery that night?

- Perhaps she wrote it in her diary - What?

- My cousin kept a diary? - Yes

- We have to find it - Come, it must be in her room

This was Mary's room

I'm out of matches, where is there a window?

There, at the end

I don't think anyone has been in here since her death

This damned table, it's a miracle it didn't smash my head

- Did you hurt yourself? - No, not much

By the way, do you know how to make magic philtres?

- Me, magic potions? Why? - Nevermind

That's it!

- The diary? - Yes

- It's written in a foreign language - Yes, in Russian

- Can you translate it? - I'll try

Look for the day of her death

- But- - What's wrong?

This paper has been added in, and the writing is Count Mihaly's

That's important, read it

- Dear daughter, - It's a letter?

I write here because this way I'll be sure

only you will read these lines

I fear I'm going to die.

I don't tell you the motive because it's something so frightening

that knowing it would put your life in danger

If I die don't be surprised by my will,

I want my nephew Serge to come,

he's intelligent and a gentleman,

- Thank you uncle - and if anyone's life is in danger

I prefer it to be his,

he's used to running risks and will be able to help you

If I die tell him that to save you

I've taken my secret to the grave,

he'll understand me. The date is the day before his death

"I'll take my secret to the grave",

now I understand clearly,

that's why Mary went to the cemetery

My uncle must have been buried with a paper,

some document that explains his fears,

and it might still be there

You're jumping at shadows Mr. Chekov,

you can't glean anything else from this translation

except that Count Mihaly wanted the secret to die with him,

but that he'd take a declaration or an accusation to the grave,

- macabre, isn't it? - There was a secret,

a reason that he was killed!

I think there's enough reason to exhume the body!

Did he agree?

He's just a pretentious ass. Here.

- Where are we going? - To the cemetery

I'm afraid

I need your help, we must find that document

- I'm very afraid - Fine, then I'll go by myself

Do you have any tools in the carriage?

I don't know if it will be of use, there's an iron bar there

Magnificent. We'll see each other later

Serge, I'm going with you! Get on

Oh, it's you, I thought you'd never arrive

- You're afraid of staying here, huh? - And you like it?

Not a bit, but I find courage at the bottom of a bottle

Well then have fun, oh brave one

Try to keep the guards distracted, I'll need at least 10 minutes

Yes, alright

- Good evening Ms. Doris - Good evening

- Do you need something? - No thank you,

I've come to pray for the Lord Count and Mary,

she was my best friend

Come back before nightfall,

that crazy gravedigger is about and he might give you a fright,

- please heed me Miss - Thank you, I will

In any case, if you need help my companion will be there

Thank you

Guard!

Oh, it's you

What are you doing around here at this hour Ms. Doris?

I'd like to put some flowers in the Count's grave

May he reside in the Lord's glory

- Would you help me pick them? - Yes, of course

Thank you, very kind of you

They're very pretty there at the bottom, come

- Here - Thank you

At your service Miss

- Guard, listen! - Did you call me?

Could you take a look at my horse?

I haven't secured my carriage and he might escape

I'll go right away Miss

- Serge - I'm here

Did you find anything?

Nothing,

not even the cadaver

Have you taken a decision with respect to what you'll do with the house?

Yes Professor Leon, I'll sell it for what they might give me

Though I don't like the idea it's the most sensible course of action for you

- When do you plan to leave? - As soon as possible,

but first I want them to exhume my uncle's body

I think this way we'll learn why they hanged Mary after she died

- Why don't we ask her directly? - What was that?

We'll hold a seance,

I can materialize her spirit and then you can ask it anything you wish

- Spiritualism? - You can do that?

- It wouldn't be the first time - I won't join in on this superstition

- Neither will I - Please Doris

I'm sorry, there must be at least three

I'm begging you, this is very important to me

Fine, let's go to my room,

the atmosphere is better there

Put your hands on the table without squeezing them

Rest your palms softly on it, keep your fingers separate

Every hand should touch the one beside it

Don't move them, the spirits are favorable

They're here with us

Be sure to empty your minds,

forget earthly concerns and think of Mary

Desire for the day of true freedom to arrive

and our companions will visit us

Think of Mary, think of Mary

Manifest

She's here

Calm yourself, calm yourself spirit

We're all adepts

Forget everything, think only of her

The spirit resists. Think of Mary

Manifest spirit! Come

Spirit, I need you, can you answer?

Something is intervening. Spirit, there's danger

Mihaly, is that you? I'm happy you're here

Speak to me

- What's going on? - She's been murdered

- Dear god - It was Count Mihaly

- What's that? - I'm going to catch him,

this time I know where to find him

Damned murderer

- Ghosts, heh - Drunk

I'm not afraid of ghosts, no sir

No, no, let me out!

I didn't see anything! In the name of god, let me out! Let me go!

Inspector, it was my uncle, Doris saw him too

- He killed her, believe me! - Yes, she's already told me,

but she was still under the effects of a strong bout of hysteria

and your version isn't very convincing either,

the dead don't often stroll about

Don't be stubborn Inspector,

Mihaly is still alive, his grave is empty,

- why don't you see for yourself? - We're doing so,

and you can be sure you'll pay for the violation-

Mr. Mayor, it's open

No, it's not possible

Doctor, would you make sure Count Mihaly is truly dead?

But... that's evident

I beg you, I want to give your report to the coroner

But couldn't it be a case of catalepsy

or of a hypnotic dream or something of the sort

of which he could come out of at any moment?

Don't you have a sense of smell? The signs of decomposition are advanced

Don't leave town without my permission,

you have to answer a few questions

Are you injured?

- Me? No, I don't think so - And that blood?

My god

Quickly, let's move that tombstone

Hurry, help me get him out

Doctor, see if you can do something for him

Look!

Number 37, what could that mean?

Maybe it's points to whoever buried him alive

There's nothing to be done,

he's been dead for more than three hours

We'll take the cadaver to your laboratory Dr. Leon,

tomorrow I'll have the coroner come by to perform an autopsy

Make way

Nadia was strangled to death, there's no doubt

Then why an autopsy inspector?

It's hard to see a friends body treated that way

- even if it's lifeless - Yes, it's true,

the law is rigid but it's the law

Leave him there

I assure you that it's not wordplay

when I say it's as cold as death in here

I have a system of refrigeration for when I work with dead animals

I've lowered the temperature to make the coroner's work simpler

Heat accelerates a body's decomposition tremendously

Inspector, you sent for me?

Yes, I want to interrogate you formally. Come with me Chekov

Guard, begin cleaning the body

I'm sorry but-

Mr. Chekov, destiny is playing a cruel trick on you

by mounting evidence against you

Instead of playing Sherlock Holmes

why don't you look for the butler?

He confessed that he knew many things that happened in this town

We'll do so, in the meantime don't leave the house for any reason

What does that mean, are you arresting me?

Let's just say I want to keep you under control

Thank you

Professor, I beg you to forgive the discomfort I'm causing,

tomorrow I'll have a carriage sent with the coroner

to get those bodies out of here

It's no discomfort,

given the circumstances I'm in no mood to work

- No one will enter the laboratory - Very good

This is my lawyer's contact information,

I want you to call him Inspector

I know my rights and I won't make another declaration

unless he's present

Don't worry, I'll call him tomorrow

Goodnight

Serge, I want you to know

that I don't believe any of that man's accusations

Why not?

Serge, it's all so horrible

Relax, it'll all soon pass, you'll see

Doris

Go to bed

- Until tomorrow - Goodnight

Friend Chekov, Doris is a good daughter and a good girl,

- please don't play with her feelings - I'm not. When this is all over

- I'll ask her to marry me - Thank you

You don't believe in ghosts, do you?

Look sir, very strange things happen here after nightfall

People are very superstitious here

and ghost stories spread quickly

They say the dead carry out their orgies in that cemetery

They'll kill everyone I tell you,

it's them, the dead!

- Doris, where are you going? - Serge! What's wrong?

- Where are you coming from? - From the kitchen,

I was preparing dinner when you called me. What did you want?

Is there someone in the house apart from us?

- Not that I know of, why? - I saw someone go up the stairs

- Maybe it was my father - No, that's not possible,

it was a woman, and she was wearing your cloak

My cloak? But I've just put it away here

no more than-

It's not here anymore

- Nadia? She's been here - I'm sure of it

What are you trying to say?

It's a magic trick, that witch

But she was really dead

It's clear now, she produced a state of catalepsy

with which she fooled us all

And could he be alive as well?

If he was,

he isn't anymore

Go to your room and lock the door

- I'm scared! - Listen to me

Don't leave me alone

I'm going to look for her, only she can clear everything up,

and don't tell her I'm being accused of murder

Take me with you, I'm so scared!

Very well, but calm down

Come

There's a secret passage here

- Look! - Nadia!

Wait, there's an exit here

Let's go

Come

Come on, relax, there's nothing to fear any more, do you feel better?

She's there!

Wait for me!

Nadia!

Are you crazy? What are you doing here? Take him away!

- Doris, look for Doris - She was with you?

Of course she was, she must have hidden

Look for Ms. Doris

You're under arrest now Mr. Chekov

You search that side, I'll look around here

Totally solid Inspector, not the slightest sign of a false wall

You have to find the hollow, knock down the wall if you have to,

I assure you we went in through there

We have the fire under control but the two cadavers were burnt to ashes

- And my daughter? - Not the slightest trace

Don't worry, that we haven't found her is the best news we could have

She must have gotten lost in the woods as she fled from the fire,

please order your men to keep looking for her

As you say

- You shouldn't have taken her with you - I swear that she was the one who-

Things have gotten very bad for you Mr. Chekov.

Your statement about the living dead has us nervous.

It's a shame the cadavers were charred,

- nothing can be proved through autopsies - I'm sorry

Tomorrow I'll take you to the capital

Don't attempt to escape, the house is under surveillance

and they have orders to shoot

Leon

Leon, then...

- You finally understand? - It was you?

Yes,

but knowing it will no longer be of any use to you

Guard! Guard!

He can't hear you, that'll be another death they'll blame on you

No one will believe you, I'm in chains

I can bring the guard up here or take him down to you

The Inspector doesn't know those bars aren't welded on, but screwed in

Then..? You'll let me go?

Only after you've committed suicide out of desperation

No, you wouldn't dare

if you come near I'll tear your skin off with my bare hands!

Me kill you? No, that's what my servants are for

Incredible, isn't it?

But how did you do it?

I've placed a small capsule in their brains that, shall we say,

keeps certain senses alive

They can move their limbs and hear,

I still haven't managed to make them see

or speak, but with time I shall do so

Why do they obey you?

That capsule in their brain receives the vibrations from mine

- Hypnotism on the dead - Why not?

If you can make a living being who has their own will obey,

why not a corpse that doesn't?

What will you to do with those monsters?

Nothing, my ends are purely scientific,

that's why I had to kill Mihaly,

he was a megalomaniac and wanted us to form an army

Can you imagine what a force like that would be?

Insensible to pain, without material needs,

without emotions, blindly obedient!

Then why did you kill the others?

I assure you I strongly regret it

but things became too complicated.

Mihaly knew he was going to die

and he took a declaration with him in which he denounced me

Mary found it and I had her killed, but Mirabondo knew she was already dead

Nadia died because she was convincing you to sell the house,

which would ruin all of my plans

since it wasn't just the laboratory that interested me

but also the underground passages that connected it to the cemetery

where I acquired the prime materials for my experiments

I killed Ivan because his stupid jealousies grew out of control

and he threatened to talk

and the gravedigger because he was afraid of being accused

and tried to tell you everything,

that's why I had to give my servants the order to kill

Stop fiddling with that bar Serge, you won't have time

The knife has your fingerprints,

no one will doubt it was suicide

It'll be useless Professor,

even if you kill me you won't escape justice!

I swear that you'll never see Doris again Professor!

- Where is my daughter? - In mortal danger

- What do you mean? - Stop your monster

Think about it Professor, her life in exchange for mine

Halt, stop! Obey!

Where's Doris? I'll give you anything you want

Don't be an imbecile and open that tunnel

If they didn't find her it's because she went back into the corridors

Don't you realize, she might be in your killers' hands

Yes, it's true, and they no longer obey me. My daughter!

May god grant we get there on time

Help!

Get me out of here! Help me!

What is this? Dear god

Did you hear screaming?

Yes, they're the souls of the condemned rising from their graves.

Holy Virgin help me!

If that's a soul I'm the ghost of Tutankhamen,

let the Inspector know

- It's her - Be quiet!

That way, hurry!

Mihaly's crypt!

Help! Can't anyone hear? Help us!

Stop, I beg you!

- Halt! - Help! Guards!

Serge, the fire Serge!

- Father! - Only fire will destroy them!

That way Inspector!

Let's go, hurry, open the door!

- It's useless, they're already dead - Everyone out

Serge! Serge!

Inspector, Doris has insisted

on taking her Father's corpse to the capital

Yes, it's natural that after what happened

she wouldn't want to bury him here

- Miss - Thank you for everything Inspector

- I'm scared to go alone - There's no reason to fear,

I only have to sign a declaration.

I'll be with you in a few minutes
