All language subtitles for Devil Kiss

How nice.
Why don't you come in?

- Your Grace.
- Countess of Moncorn.

Please don't call me that.
I detest that name.

I am now Claire Grandier...

which is my maiden name.

Just call me Claire Grandier...

the medium.

This is my only name.

The Countess of Moncorn
is not more.

Don't say that.

You still belong with us.
Everyone will be happy to see you.

Happy to see me like this...

penniless and
with no future.

When bad luck struck,
I was in India.

By the time I heard of
the tragedy, it was too late.

Still, you didn't help me
when you returned.

Your brother bought
our stables for almost nothing.

But don't you worry...

no one recognised me.

People don't look at the poor.

But I recognised you
in Paris.

I wanted you to.

You must be
the only one to know.

You must promise me.

I give you my word.
No one will know anything.

The Countess of Moncorn
is no longer.

Perhaps you could communicate
with her spirit.

This is no laughing matter.

Communication with the other world
is the most compelling proof

of the immortality
of the soul.

The same is true
about Good and Evil.

You invited me
to join you tonight...

but this party
has become boring.

And here we are,
miles away from Paris.

Thank you for sending
a car to the station.

Let me introduce you
to Professor Gruber,

an expert in telepathy.

His research on animal
cell regeneration

is stalling,
due to lack of funding.

The two of us represent
the perfect union

between spirit and matter.

Please come in.
My guests are waiting.

Has anyone seen my shoes?

- Where's my brush?
- It's on the bed.

Dear friends,

in a few minutes,
our exquisite models

from Claris Creation...

will proudly showcase
their work...

right here,
at the Haussemont castle.

Come on girls, let's go.

We're ready.

As soon as this is over,
we'll start our little séance.

It will be a big surprise.

What a waste to try and entertain
aristocrats with spiritualism

while being so utterly bored.

Boredom is contagious.

I don't think many of my guests
believe in spiritualism.

But that won't be
a problem for you.

I don't believe
in "problems."

Those are wordily matters...

and I live in another world.

Follow me.

I'll lead the way.

And it is with Betty

that we conclude
this parade of beauty.

a few surprises.
A big surprise.

Dear guests, you are about
to communicate with the other world

thanks to the wonderful psychic...

Madame Grandier.

How ridiculous.

This is typical of the duke.

He's always been
quite the eccentric.

I've never believed
in this nonsense.

This Duke of Haussemont
is really strange.

Spiritualism, in this day and age?
I much prefer the fashion show.

For sure.
They're flesh and blood...

...amazing flesh.

Come on, Betty,
go get dressed.

We don't have all night.

I have to take a shower.
Don't wait up.

Be quick.
Our guests are waiting.

Don't worry,
I'll be a minute.

Don't keep
the baron waiting.

Let me worry about
the Baron de Clanchard.

I just don't want
to miss the séance.

I don't care
for that rubbish.

Come on, girls,
it's about to start.

She's not interested...
too bad.

Put the box down.

You like art, don't you?

You thief.

I like pretty things too.

I won't say a word
if you treat me well.

You whore.

Let us now put our hands
on the table,

creating
an endless chain

that nothing in the world
will ever break.

In the Great Beyond float
the souls who have passed.

In the world of shadows, we shall
reunite with the heavenly spirits.

I can put you
in contact with them.

Right now.

Five and a half years ago,
my brother Laurent

had a fatal
horseback-riding accident.

I would like
to hear from him.

Please call him.

Very well, let us
concentrate on the duke

and on
the departed's spirit.

No one is to break the chain.
That would be dangerous.

I'm calling to you...

forces of Good and Evil.

Forces of the Darkness,

please allow Laurent's
spirit to return tonight.

Forces of the Living,
let him return.

do you hear me?

Answer me.

Tell me you are approaching
these premises.

I can feel your presence.

Is that you?

Is that really you?

Give me a sign.

I must know...
is that you?

I can feel your presence.

It is really you, is it not?

Are you here with us?

I can feel you.

You are near.

You are near.

What was that?
It sounded like a scream.

It came from upstairs.

Turn on the light.

I won't fall for that.

Those tricks won't fool me.

You are nothing
but a bunch of crooks.

Everything was
orchestrated in advance.

How could the duke agree
to such a masquerade?

What happened?
Is she...?

She lost consciousness.
She must have fainted.

- But she screamed.
- Betty, how are you feeling?

Are you all right?

What happened?

That was so strange--

The light.

What light?
What do you mean?

The lights suddenly went out.

Everything became
so strange.

But when we got here,
the light was on.

I was brushing my hair

and the lights went out.

I suddenly felt a chill
and some sort of presence.

- A presence?
- I'm not sure.

It was such an odd sensation.
You have to believe me.

This used to be his room.

I doubt that many people will
come back after what happened.

I wanted to convince them
of something

I don't even know
or understand.

I don't think
Betty would lie to us.

She'd never met you before.

I know that
she's telling the truth.

There are things
you can't lie about.

The question is not
who's playing whom...

The mysteries
of the occult

remain mysteries surrounded
by tangible signs

that only those with spiritual
prowess can grasp.

For them, there isn't
any mystery,

only despair,
laughter or tears

when faced with the clash
between Good and Evil...

which are the same force, only
pulling in different directions.

You are making me rather fearful.

I'll never have
peace of mind again.

I'll always have the feeling
of being spied upon

by invisible creatures.

Those who saw the whole process
don't seem to doubt it.

Neither do I.

In fact, I would
like you to stay.

Don't be offended
by my words.

I would like for you
to stay at the castle

to continue your research
on the occult.

Please, think about it.

But how do you think--

This is not an act
of charity,

but a trade.

You help me...

and I offer you
my hospitality.

Your hospitality comes
a bit too late.

You've never forgiven me
for buying your stables, have you?

And I never will.

Let's forget about that for now.

I am offering you the chance
to continue your research

in a calm and
peaceful environment.

What do you think?

I haven't heard you
say a word, Professor.

You're not
the talkative kind.

I think words are
mostly unnecessary.

I know what people think
and I act accordingly.

We'll stay.

Wonderful.

So you are an expert
in telepathy?

That is a field
I would love to explore.

Loreta, our chambermaid,
will be here in a moment.

She will show you
to your rooms.

- Did you call me, sir?
- Come in.

She is the only woman
who's ever lived in this house.

A lot of peculiar things
have happened in her room...

Please, feel free
to bring your belongings

and stay here permanently.

If you need to buy
any kind of equipment,

- I'll gladly pay for it.

I shall return to Paris.
Claire, you can stay.

I will be back in a few days
with my things.

Madame, I do remember
you enjoy horseback riding.

Please, feel free to ride
your favourite horses.

I'm sure you'll love
this area.

François, check over there.
The bastard can't be too far.

Poor thing.

And stop crying.
Nothing happened, all right?

Come on,
don't you worry.

Thank God we arrived in time.
He didn't touch you.

You. Come out of there.

So it's you
they're looking for.

Come in.

Sit down.

Right here.

Stay put.
I'll be right back.

Joseph, take my horse.

I'm going to get something
from the kitchen.

I'd rather have dinner
in my room. Just an old habit.

Please ask His Grace
to excuse me.

You'll sleep here for now.

Wait.

You'll eat when I say so.

Sit down.

Here.

Pace yourself.

Will you give me a hand?

I want to take these
to the cellar.

If that's what you want,

I won't interfere
with your experiments.

But please, don't keep me
in the dark too long.

We'll share all
our secrets soon enough.

Show a little patience.

Curiosity is eating me up.

I don't know how long
I'll be able to wait.

I am not a patient person.

I just cannot wait.

Well, I can.

For as long as I have to...

alone, in the dark...

for the invisible.

All that because
of other people.

For years,
I've done nothing but wait.

I've waited and I've seen the
Vulcars take Philippe's belongings.

they said he never took
the opportunity to marry me...

a poor medical student.

Stop torturing yourself.
The Count of Moncorn--

Philippe committed suicide
because no one would help him.

His death was
partly my fault...

because I took him
out of his world.

He can stay.
Perhaps he can help you.

This is what
we've always longed for:

I get all the necessary
equipment,

and you reach your goal,
thanks to your victims.

Victims? Not exactly.

For years, I've been longing
to avenge Philippe.

People are all the same.
Only thinking of themselves.

But I am stronger than them...

much stronger.

Satan and Astaroth...

will help us avenge the insults
Philippe and I have received.

On this book
of Astaroth, I swear...

that this castle will be cursed
for centuries to come.

It shall be overcome
by Lucifer's power.

We shall soon put the principal
of solaria regeneration to use.

I'm almost ready.

These dead cells
are about to regenerate.

In a few hours,
brand new cells will appear

thanks to the injected
microorganisms.

That will occur only if the supreme
breath of life penetrates the cells.

Only the Prince
of Darkness can help us.

If we invoke him,

the soul of one of his servants
will enter the empty body--

a necessary process to regenerate
the human machine.

Poor man. What a tragedy.

From what they say, the wheels
of the car smashed his head.

They wanted
to bury him immediately.

See?

They're burying him
in the potter's field

because he had no family.

By the way, the duke left
for Paris this morning.

He asked me to tell you.

He had a phone call.
He'll be away for a few days.

Very well, Loreta.

Romain... l think we found
what we'd been looking for.

Jean, anytime
is a good time.

What are you doing here?

I'm now in charge
of the duke's stables.

I wanted to talk to him,
but unfortunately,

I heard he'd left.

Yes, he's left
for a few days.

So you'll be free
to see me.

You think there's such
a thing as freedom here?

We'll find a way...
you'll see.

Men have only one thing
on their minds.

Spending days around horses
can be boring.

You don't dedicate all
your time to the duke, right?

Him? He never acts on it.

Be careful.
You'll tear my dress.

Not if you take it off...

There it is.
Let's start digging.

- Claire, keep an eye out.
- Of course.

Almost there.
One last pull.

Don't be afraid.

I came to bring you
a few candles.

- 1 wasn't expecting to see you.
- The generator's damaged.

We'll be without electricity
for a few days.

Come on, hurry up.
Someone might see us.

Joseph didn't see anything
when I asked him for candles.

He's not suspecting anything.

What's wrong?
Is it your heart again?

You mustn't strain yourself.

Some day, my heart
will give out on me...

that is certain.

But don't you worry...

I still have some strength left.

The professor is working so hard,
he can't even join us for dinner.

Try to understand...

you put so much pressure
on him for quick results

that the poor man
is working day and night.

I hope the power failure
isn't too bothersome.

Candlelight
isn't the best,

but we're used to it.

We were told we'd be without
electricity for a whole week.

I am fascinated
by your research.

But, as promised,
I won't be a bother.

Who is it?

It's me.
Open the door.

So, how is it?

I'm done. It wasn't easy,
but I've rebuilt his head.

Would you like to see?

How hideous.

That's exactly
what we wanted.

He's going to be
quite the creature.

We'll start our final
experiment tonight.

I'm about to inject him
with some regenerative cells.

In five to six hours,
the rejuvenation process

will be completed.

The microorganisms will spread
throughout the body on their own.

Let's hope the process ends
within the next six hours.

That's when we'll need
the powers of the occult forces.

It's been more than six hours.

The transformation should have
already occurred.

Let's take a look.

Let's hope I am strong enough
to dominate the Satanic mind

that will take control
of the poor man's body.

I conjure you, Lucifer,
Lucibel and Satan.

By the powers of
this magical talisman,

the Book of Astaroth...

The Talisman of Solomon..

The one and only
talisman...

I am calling to you,
I am coming to you.

Will I be the chosen one?

I want to be your slave.

From now on, my body and my soul
shall be yours forever.

May your mysterious forces
rule over mortals and immortals.

Occult Forces
of the Darkness...

I am calling
to your Emperor Lucifer.

Beelzebub, prince of darkness,

Asterov, great Duke...

I am coming to you
as your slave.

Make this body yours,

and answer our prayer.

By Lucifuges, Barbes
and Agares...

Belial and Belphegor,
Molecome and Esmudy,

I invoke your Satanic forces.

Astarte,
Queen of the darkness...

powerful and
eternal spirit...

make this body
an instrument for revenge.

Make this body
an instrument for revenge.

What an unexpected storm.

Loreta, shut the window.
I'm getting cold.

I'd only felt this way
the night of the séance.

How odd.

By the way, why haven't
Madame Grandier and the professor

joined me for dinner?

Go to the cellar and
tell them I'm expecting them.

Satan, you've sent us
a lost soul

endowed with eternal powers.

Astarov and Astarte...

may your powers
remain indestructible.

May Belial's incantation
be fulfilled.

Stop here.

Don't move.

Come now.

- Look out.
- Be at rest.

Now go sit down.

- Who is it?
- It's me, Madame.

His Grace sent me
to inform you dinner is served.

We won't be joining him tonight.

We'll stay down here.

What we are working on
is of the most importance.

Tell the duke we'll show him
our results soon.

- Is that clear?
- Yes, Madame. I'll tell him.

It's all right now, Romain.

I didn't think
I could hold out.

I have to make
incredible efforts

to control him
telepathically.

My heart is about to burst.

Luckily, the antidote
I injected him with...

put him in a temporary
state of trance.

It hurts.

He'll be out
of his lethargy

once we give him
another shot.

I think he'll be
a good tool,

but we have to keep
an eye on him.

I can't afford to be distracted.
I'd lose control of him,

and that could be
dangerous

because
he's extremely strong.

I haven't been able to restore
his verbal skills.

His brain suffered
too much damage.

It makes no difference.

Tonight, at last, I will see
my dreams of revenge come true.

And you will become
the Duke of Haussemont.

If there's nothing else
I can do, I'll go to my room.

You may go.

Don't you think we--

Have a good night, Loretta.

I almost forgot... Tell Joseph
and Charles to let me sleep in.

I'm rather tired and
I'd like to get some sleep.

Remind Joseph to call
the electric company

to see if they can come by
to fix the generator.

Who are you?

The fire has been put out,

but unfortunately, nothing
could be done for the duke.

You said the electricity was out,

but the lights are on.

We found a cigarette end
by the duke's body.

I was expecting that.

The duke might have set his bed
on fire when he fell asleep.

But why the candelabra
on the bed?

Perhaps he lost consciousness
while lighting his cigarette.

All we can do is wait
for the autopsy report.

Joseph, come pick me up
when the professor returns.

I assume you've searched
the castle for some clues.

Of course I have.
Everything is in order.

Please understand that this
situation is quite upsetting.

We were the duke's guests.

I understand, but I also know you
were planning on moving in for good.

And that's one more reason
why we are so sad.

The duke was our protector
and benefactor.

The professor was conducting
some experiments in the cellar.

What kind of experiments?

That's confidential...
except for you, of course.

The duke loved his horses

and I was in charge
of developing a vaccine.

Please keep that
to yourself.

That is confidential
professional information.

I understand.
Please go on.

Now that the duke is dead,
we are homeless.

We are suffering from this tragedy
more than anyone else.

I assume you came to collect the body?

If your men have taken
the customary pictures,

I suppose we can leave now.

Very good, Susanne.
A few more.

Give me some sensuality.

Ready?

Now-- there you go.

Now close the piano.

Lie down next to the piano.

A few more,
and we'll be done.

I'll go.
Don't move. I'll be back.

Richard, a telegram for you.

Don't you worry. The castle
is big enough for all of us.

You can go on with
your experiments on the horses.

Go on with it. I'll probably
wear them out anyway,

so to speak.

I have no desire
to kick you out.

Uncle Victor was wealthy enough
to feed an army.

Please stay.

We are truly grateful.

We weren't expecting anything less
from a person like you.

You are truly noble.

Don't say that.

Uncle Victor thought I became
too much of a liberal...

after Laurent,
my father, died.

I'm surprised
I'm still in his will.

Sir, Joseph brought
your belongings.

Which room will you be
staying in?

In yours, my dear.
Do you mind?

How sweet.

Thank you for the compliment.

What's your name?

listen, Loretta, I've slept
in the worst places,

so anything will do.

Put me wherever suits you best.

Anything else I can do?

Don't bother with formalities.
They disgust me.

Let everyone
do their own thing.

As for me,
I'll take a nap.

Careful.

- Slowly.
- Go ahead.

Thank God, we had time to hide
the dwarf and the coffin.

If you're tired,
we can take a break.

We can stay here.

No, it would be too late.

We can't afford
to waste any more time,

and I'm already losing
my strength day by day.

We just cannot wait.

I'll wake him up.

I hope this experiment works.

He's escaped.

Romain, wake up.
Can you hear me?

Give me a hand.

- We'll keep her here.
- How could that happen?

I don't know. Maybe the drugs
stopped working.

I think...

I know...

His body must have
acclimatised to the serum,

and the injections had
less effect on him.

We'll have to give him
a higher dose every time.

And how do you feel?

What bothers me is that
I can't control the zombie.

He must be
far away by now.

I can still feel
his telepathic waves, though.

I think I can find him.

Let's go, then.
We have to find him.

What about the dwarf?

No one will notice an additional
grave at the cemetery.

Over there.

I can feel the waves.

I can feel him near me.

Stop right here.

He's close.

Let me concentrate.

There he is.

Get the syringe
and double the dose.

The castle of Clanchard
is a few miles away.

We should take
advantage of that.

Let's take him
to the baron.

But Claire...

we can't do that.
We're not prepared.

And I'm afraid
of the horrific actions

perpetrated by this creature.

You're forgetting one thing.

The fact that you lost your
attraction for me, or for any woman,

doesn't mean you can
withdraw our agreement.

If you are afraid,
don't worry.

Philippe and I
were regular visitors.

I know the place.
I could draw a map of it...

with my eyes closed.

We can follow the zombie.

To get in, the castle has
special doors for guests.

And today's guests
will be... us.

We haven't seen her all day.

We checked her room.
Her things are still there.

How strange.

We'll need to call the police.
This could be a murder case.

Look, the paper mentions
a murder in the area.

"The Baron of Clanchard and a maid
were found dead this morning.

The butler found the baron,
who had been strangled.”

How tragic. Loretta
must have been killed.

Nobody will suspect anyone
for the murder of Loreta

because she's not dead.

In her body lay the powers
of Astaroth and Lucifer.

Wait, I'll be right down.

What a surprise.

- 1 wasn't expecting to see you.
- You left Paris so quickly.

I need to look
over my inheritance.

- 1 don't want to be in your way.
- You're joking.

I've been bored out of my mind.
This place is quite austere.

This is my room.

Make it yours for
as long as you want.

- What will the servants say?
- What can they say?

We are all adults.

Loreta's a clever girl.
She sleeps next door.

She wasn't feeling well,
so I allowed her to take a break.

You "allowed" her?
You're the new duke here.

That's right.

I can't go on.

I hope Claire gets
tired of this soon.

It's a pity the professor couldn't
join us. He must be busy.

He is indeed busy
with the vaccine.

It's best not to disturb him.
I'm sure you understand.

Of course. Susanne will stay
with us for a while.

It's a pleasure
to have you here.

You know what?

I'm not particularly
fond of that woman.

I'm not either.
I'm fond of you.

You can say that again
when you get tired of me.

- Then we'll see.
- Why wait?

Let's just end it now.

Not a chance.

Come here.

Come on.
Take your clothes off.

What happened?

Why don't you talk to me?

Talk to me.

What was that?
It sounded like a scream.

It came from Loreta's room.

She looked possessed.

I've never seen
such fury in a woman.

It was horrible.

I was planning
on seeing you tomorrow.

I'll have your uncle's final
autopsy report by 5pm.

The coroner needed
more time,

considering the body
was badly burnt,

especially the head
and neck area.

We found strangulation
marks on the duke.

My uncle was murdered?

Something strange
has come up.

Please come take a look.

Madame, would you like
a cognac to calm you down?

Thank you, Joseph.

But hurry. I don't
want to be alone.

The results look strange.

And this is the only
electroencephalogram we can do.

She appears to be dead.

I've placed
new electrodes on her,

and here's what came out.

What will we do with him?
Let's leave him here

and set the house on fire.
The police will be here soon.

What about the zombie?
We can't leave him here.

He could give us some trouble.

It would be much easier
to just get rid of him.

No, not him.

How do you plan
to carry him?

I couldn't lift him,
and you're too weak to help.

We'll wake him up
and he'll walk.

That's too dangerous.

And you're too weak.

Let's just leave him here.
The fire will destroy everything.

After years of struggle...

I can't leave him here.

He's mine now. I'll take him
with me. He's mine.

She's suffering from catalepsy.

I've decided to give her
shock treatment right away.

It can't wait.

Go.

What's going on?

What's wrong?

I call upon Satan...

do not allow
this experiment to end.

That's the only explanation
I can give you

without an in-depth
examination.

It is hard to believe,

but the person you brought here
was already dead.

Take a look at the results.

Her movements seemed to be guided
by some unknown force.

The trance only appeared
when the flux

keeping her quasi-alive
disappeared.

The shock treatment was crucial,
even though I can't say for certain.

This case is fascinating.

Tomorrow, my colleagues
and I will start...

an in-depth study
of her remains.

Who knows? We might
discover what happened

thanks to our experiments.

The professor's experiments.

Susanne.
She might be in danger.

Later. Let's go.

If I'm right,
we'll get there in time.

And we'll shed light
on the duke's death.

Inspector. Don't shoot.

Be careful with the girl.

Look out.

Don't look at him,
Susanne.
