00:00:00♪♪
00:00:30At this rate, you'll destroy all the frogs in the entire county, my dear.
00:00:39I asked you before not to come down to my laboratory while I'm busy with my experiments.
00:00:44Oh, if these animals could speak, they'd have something to say about your tastes.
00:00:50This always happens when you permit yourself to overindulge in your brandy.
00:00:54You are trying to provoke me, but this is not the moment, dear.
00:00:58You're leaving for the Edinburgh Congress with a lot of fanatical good-for-nothings like yourself, I suppose.
00:01:02Don't you ever dare to speak to me like that, Muriel.
00:01:06Oh, Stephen, you mustn't mind if I care about your going away so frequently.
00:01:11After all, I'm your wife, and I'd like to spend the night with you.
00:01:18Oh, Solange, so you saw everything.
00:01:30You even enjoyed it, I presume, didn't you?
00:01:33I am too old for that sort of thing, Baroness.
00:01:36I only wanted to ask the doctor his orders regarding the luggage.
00:01:40It's so late, and it's a long journey.
00:01:44I'm coming now.
00:01:54Why is he so nervous?
00:01:57He's been left in the stable too long.
00:01:59The drive will do him good.
00:02:07Keep your eyes open, David.
00:02:09I entrust my wife's safety to you.
00:02:13Those new plants that just arrived today, sir, shall I leave them outside?
00:02:17Put them in the greenhouse, but look after them.
00:02:20They need a lot of water.
00:02:22I'll see to it, sir.
00:02:23Have a good journey.
00:03:23Good-bye.
00:03:53Good-bye.
00:04:23Good-bye.
00:04:49At last.
00:04:52I thought he would never go, that devil.
00:04:55Oh, poor Stephen, you know I don't like you to talk about him that way.
00:04:59Why?
00:05:00Do you still love him?
00:05:02You're just making a fool of me.
00:05:04It's you I love.
00:05:13I'm going to rid you of your vulgar ways,
00:05:16and replace them with others much more subtle and refined.
00:05:22I don't understand you.
00:05:24It doesn't matter.
00:05:53It doesn't matter.
00:06:22It doesn't matter.
00:06:51It doesn't matter.
00:07:06No!
00:07:19No!
00:07:21No!
00:07:22No!
00:07:23No!
00:07:24No!
00:07:28You had your revenge.
00:07:30Why don't you kill me?
00:07:31Kill, kill, kill both of us.
00:07:33You?
00:07:34I will kill you.
00:07:35You tart, you.
00:07:36You and your filthy friends.
00:07:40But death, my dear, must come to you only after I've torn from your bodies all the suffering
00:07:44and pain a human being can stand.
00:07:47And you don't know yet how long it takes to die of pain.
00:07:53You're a monster.
00:07:59You don't know the hate I have inside.
00:08:01If you could see it, you would be terrified.
00:08:06You would kill me at once.
00:08:09But even by killing me, you can't free yourself from my hatred, Stephen Arrowsmith.
00:08:15You can kill my body, but I'll never leave you in peace.
00:08:18Never, never!
00:08:19I'm not afraid of the dead.
00:08:21Corpses are destined to rot and fertilize the earth.
00:08:26I can still hurt you while I'm alive, Stephen.
00:08:31You thought you would inherit everything if I died, didn't you?
00:08:34My castle, all my wealth, so that you could continue your dirty experiments.
00:08:39But you've made a tremendous mistake, you know, Stephen.
00:08:41Do you understand that?
00:08:43Because I made a new will after I realized what a vile, perverted monster I married.
00:08:50I made a new will in which I bequeathed everything through good hands to my stepsister, Jenny.
00:08:57Ha!
00:08:58You didn't expect that, did you, Stephen?
00:09:00That I'd leave everything to that simpering idiot.
00:09:03I would spare you both in exchange for that will.
00:09:08You could go away, together, free.
00:09:12Don't believe him.
00:09:14Once he has obtained what he wants, he'll kill us just the same.
00:09:19How can you trust such a monster?
00:09:22Silence, you stupid pig!
00:09:29Well?
00:09:31Do you agree?
00:09:35No.
00:09:37No!
00:09:39No!
00:09:41I gave everything to her stepsister, to that irresponsible idiot.
00:09:50So it's all been for nothing.
00:09:53You can't kill her now.
00:09:55You must let her live.
00:09:57I have no intention of doing so.
00:10:00Why do you think I have helped you?
00:10:02Just to pamper your jealousy and your twisted instincts?
00:10:05You are wrong.
00:10:07I wouldn't risk the gallows for so little.
00:10:09You have my share.
00:10:10You promised it to me.
00:10:11You must be the heir, and I along with you.
00:10:14And that is exactly what will happen.
00:10:19I shall not give up my revenge.
00:10:21You must not forget that Muriel alive would be too great a danger for me and for you.
00:10:27No.
00:10:29No one will ever discover how my wife died.
00:10:33And Jenny will inherit everything.
00:10:37Jenny is mad, and that is a well-known fact.
00:10:41What can she do with all that money?
00:10:43Her place is in a lunatic asylum, while I...
00:10:49I shall discover the secret that man has been looking for since the beginning of time.
00:10:56And don't be afraid.
00:10:59You will get your reward.
00:11:01A reward that will be more precious to you than all the wealth in the world.
00:11:22Now you'll see.
00:11:24Now you'll feel what I felt.
00:11:32Now you'll see what I felt.
00:11:39Now you'll feel what I felt.
00:11:44No!
00:11:46No!
00:11:51Leave her alone!
00:11:54Leave her alone!
00:11:56You beast you!
00:11:59Muriel, please. I can't stand it.
00:12:03Go away.
00:12:05Muriel!
00:12:06Muriel!
00:12:23No!
00:12:27Help me!
00:12:29No!
00:12:59No!
00:13:29Help me!
00:13:59Help me!
00:14:29Help me!
00:14:59Help me!
00:15:01Help me!
00:15:03Help me!
00:15:05Help me!
00:15:07Help me!
00:15:09Help me!
00:15:11Help me!
00:15:13Help me!
00:15:15You're home, Jenny.
00:15:17You didn't expect it to be so big.
00:15:19Hampton Castle is the largest in the county.
00:15:21I'm sure you'll feel at home here.
00:15:24And this is Solange.
00:15:26She will look after you and be useful to you
00:15:29in many ways.
00:15:35Welcome home, Miss Hampton.
00:15:37Miss Hampton?
00:15:39But she is my wife, the second Mrs. Arrowsmith.
00:15:42We were just married this very morning.
00:15:45I beg your... Yes, certainly.
00:15:48Come in, Mrs. Arrowsmith.
00:16:00What a peculiar plant.
00:16:02I've never seen one like it before.
00:16:04So fleshy, you mean? Yes.
00:16:06A rare plant.
00:16:08Nepenthe iridata.
00:16:11It is very dear to me.
00:16:22Now you can see how much you look like your stepsister.
00:16:25It's incredible.
00:16:27If it weren't for the hair,
00:16:29you'd say we were the same person.
00:16:31The dressing room is just in there.
00:16:35I have a slight headache.
00:16:37I think I'll feel better if I take off my hat.
00:16:44You owe me an explanation, Stephen.
00:16:47What do you mean?
00:16:49Why did you marry her?
00:16:51We never spoke about it.
00:16:56What on earth is going on here?
00:16:58What an unpleasant surprise for you.
00:17:01Don't worry, it's harmless.
00:17:03It disappeared from my laboratory a few days ago.
00:17:06I couldn't find it anywhere.
00:17:08It's come a long way.
00:17:10I promise you,
00:17:12it will never happen again.
00:17:14I'll take it back to the laboratory.
00:17:17What do you intend to do with her?
00:17:19Why did you marry her?
00:17:21I don't know.
00:17:24What do you intend to do with her?
00:17:26Why did you marry her?
00:17:28We had a different plan.
00:17:30Then I thought she was a poor imbecile.
00:17:33Ugly and repulsive.
00:17:35Instead, she is beautiful and reminds you of Muriel.
00:17:38You are still in love with that witch.
00:17:40As far as witches are concerned,
00:17:42you are no one to talk.
00:17:44Muriel, as you know, I hated her.
00:17:46And Jenny?
00:17:48Yes.
00:17:50I might even come to like her.
00:17:51I'll never see Jenny again.
00:17:53I'll have to find another mistress.
00:17:56Jenny seems normal.
00:17:58But her doctor told me
00:18:00that her sanity is in danger.
00:18:02She could die here.
00:18:05It would not be difficult
00:18:07to find a doctor willing to testify
00:18:09about her condition.
00:18:11I will be legally responsible
00:18:13for the custody of her person and her wealth.
00:18:17This seems to me
00:18:19the best and probably the safest way out.
00:18:22But anything unexpected
00:18:24could happen.
00:18:26Who can guarantee
00:18:28that her mental condition will get worse?
00:18:30I'll see to it.
00:18:39Look here.
00:18:49Look at me.
00:18:51Look at me.
00:18:53Look at me.
00:18:55Look at me.
00:18:57Look at me.
00:18:59Look at me.
00:19:01Look at me.
00:19:03Look at me.
00:19:05Look at me.
00:19:07Look at me.
00:19:09Look at me.
00:19:11Look at me.
00:19:13Look at me.
00:19:15Look at me.
00:19:17Look at me.
00:19:19Look at me.
00:19:21Look at me.
00:19:23Look at me.
00:19:25Look at me.
00:19:27Look at me.
00:19:29Look at me.
00:19:31Look at me.
00:19:33Look at me.
00:19:35Look at me.
00:19:37Look at me.
00:19:39Look at me.
00:19:41Look at me.
00:19:43Look at me.
00:19:45Look at me.
00:19:47Look at me.
00:19:49Look at me.
00:19:51Look at me.
00:19:53Look at me.
00:19:55Look at me.
00:19:57Look at me.
00:19:59Look at me.
00:20:17Look at me.
00:20:47Steven!
00:20:49Steven!
00:21:17Steven!
00:21:47Steven!
00:22:17Steven!
00:22:47Steven!
00:23:17Steven!
00:23:47Steven!
00:24:17Steven!
00:24:27David?
00:24:29David!
00:24:30Calm yourself dear!
00:24:32You had a bad dream, it's nothing,
00:24:34it's all over now.
00:24:38Steven?
00:24:41Where was I?
00:24:43That terrible place in that mess?
00:24:45It was a nightmare. Do you hear me?
00:24:47No, it wasn't a nightmare. I was there.
00:24:53And I saw blood.
00:24:55And that horrible plant.
00:25:07But I saw it here. The blood. But I tell you, I did see it.
00:25:13I'm not mad.
00:25:15Medicine really worked. Another couple of doses and your patient will be ready for the asylum.
00:25:21I'm afraid so. She has reacted perfectly.
00:25:26The rest is understandable, of course. Poor thing, with her previous illness.
00:25:35Have you prepared the file for tonight?
00:25:39I will do it now.
00:25:41But this...
00:25:43This is the file you were supposed to give her last night.
00:25:46How is it that it's still here? You made a mistake.
00:25:49But it's impossible. There was only that one.
00:25:52Not at all. There was another one.
00:25:56A file of harmless saccharose. It isn't here anymore.
00:26:01You poured that one into the champagne instead of the hallucinogen. Fool!
00:26:05I... I'm sorry.
00:26:07Anyway.
00:26:09Without wanting to, we have had ample proof that it is not necessary to force her madness with external devices.
00:26:17But if her nightmares were really true, brought on, I... I don't know, by some mysterious being.
00:26:27The spirits of the castle?
00:26:30I have never met any.
00:26:32The spirits of the castle?
00:26:35I have never met any.
00:26:38And they don't exist until it is proven to the contrary.
00:26:43But how do you explain that Jenny saw that mysterious plant dripping blood and heard two hearts beating?
00:26:52The fruits of an over-receptive mind, exalted like Jenny's.
00:26:58But she called out for David in her dream. I'm frightened.
00:27:01Oh, be quiet!
00:27:03I'll get Dr. Joyce here as soon as possible to verify the mental instability of my young wife.
00:27:08No, not yet. What if something terrible were to happen while he is here?
00:27:13I don't know why you want to run risks for nothing.
00:27:15All right.
00:27:17Anyway, I'm not so certain that I'm in such a hurry to get rid of her, you know.
00:27:32The End
00:27:46Where's Jenny? She was there a moment ago.
00:27:49Very likely she decided to go upstairs to her room. Maybe she was tired.
00:27:54Just like that, without saying a word?
00:27:58It's rather odd.
00:28:01Perhaps she wasn't feeling very well.
00:28:04I'll go and see where she is.
00:28:15Jenny!
00:28:17Jenny! Are you there?
00:28:29Jenny!
00:28:31Did you hear that? It came from down below.
00:28:35Quickly!
00:28:45It's Jenny. She must be down below in the vault.
00:29:01Jenny!
00:29:23Forgive me, Stephen.
00:29:25I tried to remember.
00:29:27But when everything is coming back to me, I feel as if my memory is paralyzed.
00:29:31Now let's see. What is the last thing you can remember?
00:29:35I don't know. I was there with you in Solange.
00:29:39No, I was at the piano and I was playing.
00:29:43Then I don't remember. I suddenly found myself in that horrible place.
00:29:47I felt an unbearable pain in my hands and I looked down and they were covered with blood.
00:29:52I was trying to move the slab with my nails.
00:29:58I was terrified.
00:30:02I ran to the door and tried to get out.
00:30:04But someone had locked it from the inside and I couldn't open it.
00:30:10I screamed. I was so afraid of dying down there.
00:30:15I felt as if someone was pulling me down, down, down.
00:30:18I was so frightened, Stephen.
00:30:21You have to help me.
00:30:23It was nothing but your imagination.
00:30:25You are among friends here. You must trust us.
00:30:29Yes, I know, but that door, it was locked.
00:30:32No, Jenny. It was not locked.
00:30:35All I had to do was push it.
00:30:37You didn't open it because you didn't want to.
00:30:41It's a hysterical phenomenon which is very frequent in people who are in your state of mind.
00:30:48I know what you're thinking, Stephen, but I'm not mad. I'm sure of it.
00:30:52I was different before I came here.
00:30:55Perhaps we acted a little rashly in bringing you over here so soon.
00:31:00Maybe it was my fault.
00:31:02But I wanted you here with me.
00:31:05You won't send me back to the clinic, will you, Stephen?
00:31:09Tell me the truth, please.
00:31:12No, dear.
00:31:14I want you here.
00:31:17But I also want you to get better and to be happy.
00:31:21Therefore, I've decided to invite Dr. Joyce to come here.
00:31:24He had you under his care for a long time, and he knows your case well.
00:31:28And here, he will be able to look after you, observe you,
00:31:31and study the remedies that are best suited to you.
00:31:35You will continue on as if nothing had ever happened, and the doctor will be only a guest.
00:31:42You trust him, don't you?
00:31:46All right, but do stop treating me like a madwoman, Stephen, won't you, please?
00:31:50What foolish talk is that?
00:31:52Now, take this mild drug, and you will have a nice sleep without any nightmares.
00:31:59I don't want it.
00:32:01I'm afraid of going to sleep.
00:32:04Just as you like.
00:32:07I will be right there in the armchair with my reading.
00:32:48Welcome to Hampton Castle, Dr. Joyce.
00:32:50Did you have a good journey?
00:32:51Yes, thank you.
00:32:52I'm very pleased to see you, and so I'm sure is my wife.
00:32:56How are you, Lady Arrowsmith? I must say you're looking extremely well.
00:33:00Oh, appearances can be deceptive, Doctor.
00:33:03However, I'm so pleased to see you again.
00:33:07What a lovely day.
00:33:09I didn't realize it. I hardly ever go out.
00:33:12Hampton Castle has become for me a sort of magnificent prison.
00:33:18Come.
00:33:22Let's take a stroll in the park.
00:33:25You know, there's a very strange, wild, rugged part behind the castle, which I'd like to show you.
00:33:29Jenny!
00:33:31But dearest, the doctor has only just arrived. Perhaps later on.
00:33:36It doesn't matter. Jenny, I would like to come.
00:33:39No, my husband's quite right.
00:33:47Napoleon, 1861. It's a wonderful brandy.
00:33:52Such a marvelous aroma.
00:33:56I thought you didn't drink.
00:33:58Many years ago, this castle may have lacked water, but it certainly never lacked alcohol.
00:34:03This was one of Muriel's very favorite drinks.
00:34:06Jenny, your husband has told me about everything that has recently happened here.
00:34:13You know, I am here only to help you.
00:34:16And you must try and force yourself to remember the details of what happened to you.
00:34:23Something that will help us to understand the cause.
00:34:36I don't know.
00:34:38In those moments, it's as if another person took possession of my mind and my body,
00:34:43and everything becomes vague and confused without any reason.
00:34:47And yet, there must be a reason.
00:34:49When you came here, your mental condition was perfect.
00:34:52Therefore, the reason for your trouble must be sought in these surroundings.
00:34:57Jenny, do you have any suspicions that your mind...
00:35:03No, I don't think so.
00:35:09Yet I saw blood where there wasn't any.
00:35:11Yet I saw blood where there wasn't any.
00:35:14And I heard sounds where there weren't any.
00:35:18And there was that tomb.
00:35:21And that... that name...
00:35:23David?
00:35:25Oh yes, David.
00:35:27You said that name coming out of the nightmare.
00:35:30And that name could perhaps help you to remember your dream.
00:35:34Are you really convinced?
00:35:38Why are you so interested in me?
00:35:40Or maybe you're like Stephen. You're convinced I'm insane.
00:35:43If what you're suggesting were so, I would not be here.
00:35:48And I'm going to help you, whether you like it or not.
00:35:50There is nothing to discover. You won't discover anything, Doctor.
00:35:56I hope I'm not disturbing you, Doctor.
00:35:59And that things are already improving.
00:36:02Later, if you'd like to come down to my laboratory,
00:36:05I shall be pleased to show you some experiments I've made on the electrolytic treatment of the blood.
00:36:14Why are you laughing, dear?
00:36:16You and your experiments!
00:36:20Jenny! Do you hear me?
00:36:23What's the matter with you?
00:36:31I'm sorry, Stephen.
00:36:33I was confused.
00:36:36It's not important.
00:36:39It doesn't matter.
00:36:42Doctor, if I can help you, don't hesitate to ask me.
00:36:47Even though I assure you I have already told you as much as I know.
00:36:52Thank you. I'll come to see your laboratory later.
00:36:55You must remember. You dreamt you were here, didn't you?
00:36:59I don't know. I don't remember.
00:37:01Don't torment me, please. Let me leave this place.
00:37:04Well, if you don't want me to help you.
00:37:07However, I warn you.
00:37:09You will end up a prisoner of your madness and obsessions forever.
00:37:16I'm sorry.
00:37:18I'm sorry.
00:37:20I'm sorry.
00:37:21You will end up a prisoner of your madness and obsessions forever.
00:37:27I don't know.
00:37:29I can't remember.
00:37:33I think I was standing there where you are now.
00:37:38David was embracing me.
00:37:45Suddenly he was hit on the face.
00:37:47My earring fell off.
00:37:49Down in those leaves.
00:37:55I'm sure we will find it.
00:38:06What's that?
00:38:10That's it.
00:38:12I lost it while he was kissing me.
00:38:14I lost it while he was kissing me.
00:38:16Who was kissing you?
00:38:20I don't remember.
00:38:22It was dark.
00:38:24And then somebody came in.
00:38:26While we were...
00:38:40I'm sorry. It's all so vague.
00:38:42Had you seen the earring before?
00:38:45No.
00:38:47Only that time.
00:38:49But...
00:38:51Are you sure you couldn't have lost it on some other occasion?
00:38:55Or under different circumstances?
00:38:59No, it's the first time I've ever seen it.
00:39:02The earring doesn't belong to me.
00:39:04It's very strange.
00:39:10Be careful!
00:39:13It was possible for me to give you back your youth.
00:39:17But I could do nothing about your mind.
00:39:20It doesn't matter, doctor.
00:39:22It's not my mind which is useful to you when you need it.
00:39:24I hope I'm not disturbing you.
00:39:26I thought you had forgotten my invitation.
00:39:29Come along.
00:39:31I want to show you a unique experiment
00:39:34which could have sensational developments.
00:39:36Oh, very interesting.
00:39:38But if you don't mind, I'd like to speak to you about your wife's illness.
00:39:41I'm sure that Jenny's hallucinations
00:39:44come partly from her sick mind.
00:39:46And I'm sure that they must also have a cause
00:39:48and foundation in the reality that surrounds her.
00:39:52No one could wish it were so, more than I do.
00:39:55But unfortunately,
00:39:57various symptoms seem to point to the contrary.
00:40:00I thought so too, at first.
00:40:02But look.
00:40:04An earring.
00:40:06Yes.
00:40:08And so?
00:40:10It belongs to the leaves.
00:40:12Exactly where Jenny dreamt she was.
00:40:14But it doesn't belong to her, so it belongs to another woman.
00:40:16Muriel, for example.
00:40:18With whom Jenny identifies herself in a dream.
00:40:21This earring proves that there is something real
00:40:23behind Jenny's nightmares.
00:40:25And if we can discover what it is,
00:40:27we will solve the mystery.
00:40:29Her ladyship has acquired the habit of hiding things
00:40:31about the house
00:40:33and then forgetting later where she has put them.
00:40:35I told you about this.
00:40:37Oh, yes.
00:40:38A form of kleptomania.
00:40:42And so, what of the other earring?
00:40:44I don't think it should be difficult to find it.
00:40:46I'm sure it must be among her other jewels, naturally.
00:40:49If you'll allow me,
00:40:51I'll go and have a look.
00:40:53This would explain your strange discovery.
00:40:56Go along, Solange,
00:40:58and then rejoin us in the living room.
00:41:00Oh, I had almost forgotten.
00:41:02Lady Arrowsmith has changed her room.
00:41:04I don't think you knew about it.
00:41:05In the meantime,
00:41:07let me show you now
00:41:09the experiment I was speaking to you about.
00:41:36Excuse me, madame.
00:41:38Dr. Stephen would like to show Dr. Joyce
00:41:40some of your jewelry.
00:41:42If you would like to go down yourself,
00:41:44they will be very pleased.
00:41:46Oh, I'll come down with you, then.
00:41:48Please may I take your jewel box?
00:41:50Why, yes, of course.
00:41:54The earring is one of those in the portrait.
00:41:56There was no doubt about it.
00:41:58It's true, then, that they belong to you.
00:42:00Yes, of course.
00:42:01You see, my dear Derek,
00:42:03at first I was rather embarrassed
00:42:05to admit that my wife sometimes
00:42:07hides certain things,
00:42:09you know, without any reason
00:42:11and without remembering it.
00:42:13Solange says that you'd like to see my jewelry.
00:42:16I'm afraid they're not collection pieces,
00:42:18but I'll gladly show them to her.
00:42:20I should like to see them.
00:42:22You're very kind, you know.
00:42:24I'll go and have a look.
00:42:26I'll go and have a look.
00:42:28I'll go and have a look.
00:42:29I'll go and have a look, you know.
00:42:33Here's an emerald and diamond necklace
00:42:35that I like very much.
00:42:37And here's a gold bracelet
00:42:39that belonged to my mother.
00:42:41This one is from San Jose.
00:42:43Beautiful.
00:42:45And this is an earring that's...
00:42:56And these are Muriel's earrings,
00:42:59which you have never worn.
00:43:01How do you explain these things?
00:43:04I don't know.
00:43:06I don't know how to explain.
00:43:16Poor Jenny.
00:43:18She becomes stranger all the time.
00:43:22Do you really think it was wise of you
00:43:24to decide to let her sleep alone?
00:43:26As things are at the moment,
00:43:27it certainly can't do her any harm.
00:43:29One must proceed blindly,
00:43:31by trial and error.
00:43:33Her memory is blocked just now.
00:43:36Yes.
00:43:38I realize that her condition
00:43:40doesn't leave us much hope.
00:43:42And I know that you are doing
00:43:44everything humanly possible
00:43:46to help her.
00:43:48Leave him, doctor.
00:43:52You should be more careful.
00:43:54Let's go down to the laboratory.
00:43:55We must...
00:43:57We must stop the bleeding at once.
00:43:59Is there anything I can do to help you?
00:44:01No, no thank you.
00:44:03It's nothing.
00:44:05She has a blood disease.
00:44:07Nothing serious.
00:44:09But we must stop the hemorrhage immediately,
00:44:11otherwise it could be dangerous.
00:44:13Come along, Solange.
00:44:26Oh...
00:44:43It's been successful again this time.
00:44:47But the solution can't last much longer.
00:44:51Jenny!
00:44:53Jenny!
00:44:55My blood!
00:44:57Downstairs in the laboratory.
00:44:59Go!
00:45:01Go!
00:45:03Hurry!
00:45:25ANNABELLE HAMPTON
00:45:42Annabelle Hampton died in her 27th year.
00:45:55Muriel Hampton, 26 years old.
00:46:25Her pulse is normal.
00:46:48She must have been completely out of control.
00:46:51You tend to your wound, and I'll look after her.
00:46:58Stephen, I saw her as she was about to strike you.
00:47:02That face, it wasn't hers.
00:47:04It was Muriel's.
00:47:21Who are you?
00:47:23Jenny.
00:47:24What were you doing?
00:47:26What happened to you, Jenny?
00:47:27Jenny?
00:47:29Jenny, I'm not Jenny.
00:47:33I hate Jenny.
00:47:34I hate her.
00:47:37I'm Muriel.
00:47:45Jenny?
00:48:16Jenny.
00:48:20Did you see it too, Derek?
00:48:22Yes.
00:48:23Did you?
00:48:24Yes, I don't know what it was, but I shall certainly find out.
00:48:35Stephen.
00:48:38With blood all over his face.
00:48:44It wasn't me.
00:48:48Please forgive me.
00:48:56But what do you think she wants from me?
00:48:58Why does she torment me so?
00:49:00Jenny, I saw it too.
00:49:04It's true.
00:49:05A strange and terrifying phenomenon.
00:49:08But you can be sure that nothing will change my decision.
00:49:12I'm going to help you, Jenny.
00:49:14When you speak to me, I begin to have some faith again and a little bit of hope.
00:49:18Promise not to leave me, Derek.
00:49:20I'm so afraid.
00:49:22I think it would be better for you if you were to leave the castle.
00:49:25Just for a short while.
00:49:27Some place that's calm and quiet.
00:49:30Very well.
00:49:33Just as you say.
00:49:36But his being here makes things so dangerous.
00:49:39Why did he go down into the crypt last night?
00:49:42Maybe he found out something.
00:49:45He found out enough to hang us both.
00:49:50He moved the slab on Muriel's tomb and discovered it was empty.
00:49:56So then we are ruined.
00:49:57He could turn us over at any moment now.
00:49:59You must stop him from leaving the castle at all costs.
00:50:02We must...
00:50:03Keep quiet.
00:50:06I know what we must do.
00:50:14You were looking for me, Doctor?
00:50:15Why, yes, I was.
00:50:16I wanted to have a few words with you before you went to the laboratory.
00:50:19Nothing would please me more.
00:50:28Won't you sit down?
00:50:33I wanted to speak to you about your wife.
00:50:36I'm convinced that it is absolutely necessary for her to leave the castle,
00:50:40for surroundings more suited to the cure of her mental troubles.
00:50:43What is the matter?
00:50:45You may speak quite freely.
00:50:47I want to tell you there are ghosts in this castle, Doctor Iroh Smith.
00:50:50Really?
00:50:53Tell me, have you seen them yourself by any chance?
00:50:57Souls living in another world,
00:50:59souls living in another world,
00:51:01trying to hide themselves behind Jenny,
00:51:03trying to possess her,
00:51:05to destroy her mind and free will.
00:51:16Your wife is not mad,
00:51:18but she runs the risk of becoming so
00:51:20if she continues to live here in this castle.
00:51:23Quite realize that.
00:51:27It was I who asked you to come here,
00:51:29and I shall abide by any decision you feel it necessary to make.
00:51:33I have already mentioned it to Jenny,
00:51:35and I'm sure she will agree.
00:51:36All the better.
00:51:38Will you be taking her back to the same clinic where she was treated before?
00:51:41Definitely yes, to begin with.
00:51:44I plan to take her away with me tomorrow.
00:51:47Well, I leave you to your work.
00:51:50Thank you, Doctor.
00:51:56Good night.
00:52:26Good night.
00:52:56Good night.
00:53:26Good night.
00:53:57Are you sure it will work?
00:54:00Wouldn't poison have been a safer way?
00:54:02There isn't a poison which leaves no traces.
00:54:05In this way, we don't run any risks, and the result is the same.
00:54:16Come in.
00:54:19Excuse me, sir, I forgot about the clean towels.
00:54:22Oh, that's all right.
00:54:56Jonathan!
00:55:01Jonathan! Jonathan, what happened?
00:55:04Jonathan!
00:55:06What happened, Jonathan?
00:55:09There's no doubt. He had a heart attack.
00:55:12Probably he suffered from a weak heart without knowing it.
00:55:16Quite possibly.
00:55:18Also, the overheated atmosphere of the room could easily have had some influence.
00:55:24Please, Jenny, go back to your room.
00:55:27Solange, go with her ladyship.
00:55:33This one is certainly a case that makes one think very seriously about the frailty of human life.
00:55:40Only ten minutes ago, that man was the picture of health, and now he is ready for the world.
00:55:47Please allow me not to appreciate your cynicism, Dr. Arisman.
00:55:51Forgive me, my dear Derek.
00:55:53The fact is, you have remained too much a man to be a scientist.
00:55:57Oh, and before I forget, will you think about making out a death certificate for the authorities?
00:56:02Right away.
00:56:03Something else, if you don't mind.
00:56:06Will you help me to carry poor Jonathan's body into his room?
00:56:21Is there anything else I can get you, madame?
00:56:24No. All I want to do is leave this house before it's too late.
00:56:30You look a little distraught, Jenny.
00:56:52I realize that what happened to Jonathan was a painful shock to you, but you mustn't be disheartened.
00:56:59Stephen, I can't stand it.
00:57:03I don't want to stay here anymore.
00:57:08I'm leaving tomorrow with Derek, for wherever he chooses to take me.
00:57:12Anything will be better than this hell.
00:57:15With Derek? I thought so.
00:57:20He's bewitched you with his stories.
00:57:24What are you saying? Why are you talking like that?
00:57:27You had so much faith in him. Now?
00:57:29Now, I see that his so-called treating you was just an excuse to flirt shamelessly with you.
00:57:37And don't say you didn't realize it yourself.
00:57:39But I swear to you, I've known Derek for years.
00:57:43He's such a good friend of mine.
00:57:47He's so affectionate and unselfish.
00:57:49You may be blind, my dear, but I'm not.
00:57:53I know his type.
00:57:55Affectionate, unselfish, and always ready to take advantage of a beautiful patient.
00:58:03Weak, and rich.
00:58:06No, don't you dare say that.
00:58:08Derek hasn't done anything wrong.
00:58:10Are caresses, holding hands, and soft looks all part of the cure?
00:58:21You forget that greenhouses are made of glass, and I'm not blind.
00:58:31I love you, Jenny.
00:58:33I don't want to lose you.
00:58:36I can't stand the idea of you going away with him.
00:58:41Don't leave me alone, Jenny.
00:58:48I don't want to, Stephen.
00:58:53But I'm so frightened here.
00:58:56We'll go away together, tomorrow.
00:59:00We'll go to Spain, to Italy, wherever you want.
00:59:04You'll leave all your nightmares behind you, and we won't come back here until you have completely recovered.
00:59:11All right?
00:59:13Then we leave tomorrow.
00:59:17Just as you say, Stephen.
00:59:41Certainly, this journey can do you nothing but good.
00:59:45You'll be able to amuse yourself, to breathe purer air, to find real tranquility.
00:59:52But I cannot pretend that I shouldn't have preferred another solution.
00:59:55Do you mean the asylum, Dr. Derek?
00:59:57Or have you other plans?
00:59:59But, Jenny, why are you saying these things?
01:00:07It seems as if you had suddenly lost all faith in me.
01:00:13Perhaps you see me as some clinical case to be kept under observation and studied.
01:00:18It would be bad enough if that's true, yet in a way I wish it was so.
01:00:23Because if what happened last night has put any ideas in your head,
01:00:27I'll be obliged to consider you simply one of the most contemptible of men.
01:00:43I realize that after what you have said, there's nothing I can answer.
01:00:48Whatever I might say would only confirm your suspicions.
01:00:51Now the only thing left for me to do is to go away.
01:00:54But before I go, I want to tell you this, Jenny.
01:00:58I have always been very fond of you.
01:01:02And any time you need me, I shall be happy to help you.
01:01:13It's so cold tonight.
01:01:16That damn blood.
01:01:18It's turning to poison in my veins.
01:01:21Cold, heavy, like mercury.
01:01:25She wants it back.
01:01:28Muriel.
01:01:29That witch.
01:01:30She wants her blood.
01:01:32Stephen, do something.
01:01:35Save me.
01:01:37Blood.
01:01:38Stephen, do something.
01:01:40Save me.
01:01:42I need new life.
01:01:45Young, pure blood.
01:01:50I need Jenny's blood.
01:01:53Very well, then.
01:01:55You'll get it tomorrow.
01:02:08No.
01:02:28Don't go away, David.
01:02:33Who are you?
01:02:34Muriel?
01:02:38Muriel.
01:02:42Where is your body?
01:02:46My heart.
01:02:50Take my heart.
01:02:52Take my heart.
01:02:55No.
01:02:56Who killed you? Stephen?
01:02:59Stephen.
01:03:02Stephen.
01:03:07Statue.
01:03:10Statue.
01:03:16Tiger.
01:03:17Where is the tiger?
01:03:20Go.
01:03:26No.
01:03:27No.
01:03:28Go.
01:03:29Go away.
01:03:30Go.
01:03:31Go.
01:03:32Go away.
01:03:33Go.
01:03:34Go.
01:03:35Go.
01:04:05Go.
01:04:06Go.
01:04:07Go.
01:04:08Go.
01:04:09Go.
01:04:10Go.
01:04:11Go.
01:04:12Go.
01:04:13Go.
01:04:14Go.
01:04:15Go.
01:04:16Go.
01:04:17Go.
01:04:18Go.
01:04:19Go.
01:04:20Go.
01:04:21Go.
01:04:22Go.
01:04:23Go.
01:04:24Go.
01:04:25Go.
01:04:26Go.
01:04:27Go.
01:04:28Go.
01:04:29Go.
01:04:30Go.
01:04:31Go.
01:04:32Go.
01:04:33Go.
01:04:34Go.
01:04:35Go.
01:04:36Go.
01:04:38Go.
01:04:39Go.
01:04:40Go.
01:04:41Well, have a good journey and thank you again for everything you've done for my wife.
01:05:06There is nothing to thank me for.
01:05:08And would you please say goodbye to her for me?
01:05:11Goodbye, dear. I'm grateful to you for trying to help me.
01:05:13Oh, I'm delighted to be able to wish you a pleasant trip once more.
01:05:19And I hope to see you again very soon.
01:05:23Why are you going?
01:05:26Don't you find enough to interest you here?
01:05:34Do you like the Hampton Crest?
01:05:40Goodbye and good luck.
01:05:56When? Now, Stephen, I beg you.
01:05:59We must be far from here before he is able to speak to anybody.
01:06:02I am preparing the electrolysis.
01:06:04You know that it's only a matter of a few hours.
01:06:06Everything will be ready for you by this evening.
01:06:10And then we leave during the night, all three of us.
01:06:14At least officially.
01:06:16I'm going down to the laboratory.
01:06:51Stephen?
01:07:08Listen, Stephen, I wonder if...
01:07:18Derek!
01:07:22Come along. There's no time to lose.
01:07:31What are you doing, Stephen?
01:08:00Why are you looking at me like that?
01:08:02I'm going to free you from your nightmares forever, Jenny.
01:08:07Your sister is calling you, isn't she?
01:08:10Can't you hear her?
01:08:12Now that damned voice will be silent forever!
01:08:16Miserable, handsome witch! Your race is finished!
01:08:18Shut up, Stephen! I can't stand it!
01:08:26You will sleep now. A long sleep.
01:08:31Stephen, let me go!
01:08:32That will be without any more dreams.
01:08:36What have I done to you?
01:08:37Peace, Jenny.
01:08:46Come along now. Lie down.
01:10:07It will still take a couple of hours to free you from your nightmares.
01:10:37In a couple of hours, I'm going up to prepare everything for the journey.
01:10:39You stay still.
01:12:37Yes, Stephen. It's my flesh you are touching.
01:13:02The flesh you thought you'd destroyed.
01:13:05But you can't destroy flesh any more than you can love or hate.
01:13:11It's all the same thing.
01:13:13What do you want?
01:13:16I punished you for your crime.
01:13:20No.
01:13:23You gave me extreme pleasure.
01:13:27You taught me the pleasure of the torment of the flesh, which turns into ecstasy.
01:13:34Yes, Stephen. That passes through life into death and receives eternity.
01:13:40Now I'm going to reward you with that same pleasure.
01:13:49Come, darling.
01:13:58Stephen?
01:14:03Stephen?
01:14:07Ah!
01:14:22Ah!
01:14:25Ah!
01:14:42Don't be afraid, Stephen.
01:14:45I'll stay with you with my body and my senses...
01:14:50...until someone comes and destroys my heart.
01:15:05Ah!
01:15:18Dream, Stephen. Curse! Beg! Yes.
01:15:22Now I've got your body and your monstrous soul, if there is any such thing in your damn being.
01:15:28It's my moment now.
01:15:32Help! Help!
01:15:40Muriel! Help!
01:15:43Muriel!
01:16:01Muriel!
01:16:31Help!
01:17:01Ah!
01:17:32Ah!
01:17:34Ah!
01:18:02Ah!
01:18:05Ah!
01:18:31Ah!
01:18:48Don't worry, Jenny.
01:18:49Now all of your nightmares are over and done with forever.
01:19:19THE END
