The Blancheville Monster, released in the UK and Italy as Horror, is a 1963 horror film directed by Alberto de Martino. The film's script by Gianni Grimaldi and Bruno Corbucci is promoted as being based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe, but actually only borrows elements from the short stories "The Fall of the House of Usher", "A Tale of the Ragged Mountains" and "Some Words with a Mummy". Long after its release, director Alberto de Martino described his film as "a little film of no importance".
Storyline:
Emilie De Blancheville returns to her family's castle and finds drastic changes: her brother Roderic is now in charge of the estate; the servants have all died and been replaced by new staff members, who are cold and unfamiliar; and her father, Count Blancheville, has been horribly disfigured and now lives secluded in one of the castle's isolated towers. The Count believes the Blanchevilles are under a family curse, which can only be lifted if Emilie dies before her 21st birthday, five days away. When the Count escapes from the tower, Emily realizes her life is in danger.

00:05:46What is it?
00:05:48When I left the castle, my father was still alive.
00:05:54Weren't you here when your father...
00:05:56No. It was her brother who killed her.
00:06:10Roderick!
00:06:14My dear.
00:06:18Oh, Roderick.
00:06:21I've missed you so much.
00:06:23I missed you too, Emily.
00:06:25When you left, you were only a child, and now...
00:06:28I'm a woman.
00:06:29I'm 21 now.
00:06:31And I don't have to answer to anyone for my actions.
00:06:34But I'll always be grateful to you, Roderick.
00:06:37There's still a week to your birthday.
00:06:39And until then, your life belongs to me.
00:06:44Oh, excuse me.
00:06:50My brother, Roderick.
00:06:51Milord.
00:06:52Alice and John Taylor.
00:06:54How do you do, sir?
00:06:55Alice was my closest friend in college.
00:06:57Oh, I know.
00:06:58You were mentioned in every letter.
00:07:00My brother arrived in London to take me back home to New York and...
00:07:03Instead, Emily convinced us both to come to Brittany.
00:07:06She insisted so much that...
00:07:08I wanted Alice to help me blow out the candles on my birthday cake.
00:07:12Oh, that reminds me.
00:07:13I must tell Dorothee...
00:07:14Dorothee is no longer with us.
00:07:18She was very old.
00:07:22She's gone, too.
00:07:24But we have other servants, my dear.
00:07:26Alistair!
00:07:28Dinner will be served soon.
00:07:30Perhaps our guests would like to freshen up the cake.
00:07:32My lord.
00:07:33Accompany Miss and Mr. Taylor to their rooms.
00:07:37We'll see you later.
00:07:54Oh, Roderick.
00:07:56Forgive me.
00:07:59Forgive me, but to return home.
00:08:02After...
00:08:02After...
00:08:04After our poor father.
00:08:07There's nothing to forgive, Emily.
00:08:10I understand, my dear.
00:08:21Who is she?
00:08:24Who is she?
00:08:24Who is she?
00:08:42Welcome back, Mademoiselle.
00:08:44Thank you, Miss Eleanor.
00:08:48Our new housekeeper.
00:08:50Everyone seems to be new here, Roderick.
00:08:54Miss Eleanor deserves our thanks for the way she manages the house.
00:08:59Thank you, my lord.
00:09:01I also hope to gain Miss Emily's trust and confidence very soon.
00:09:07Go now and make yourself beautiful.
00:09:10And remember you are now the lady of the castle.
00:09:13Accompany my sister to her rooms.
00:09:18She's a black danbury.
00:09:22She's not looking for her.
00:09:22And I'm like...
00:09:30I have a baby.
00:09:31She's got a serum.
00:09:38Much like this.
00:09:38I'm gonna just swap the same...
00:09:39She'll see you later.
00:09:41Loved you, my dear.
00:09:44Everyone seems to me to go.
00:09:45I had a baby.
00:10:58Yes, very much.
00:11:02I imagine you've been to America, you know.
00:11:05What do you think of it?
00:11:06Well, I appreciate America very much.
00:11:09But being so young a country, it has a lot to learn.
00:11:13We can always enroll the whole nation in an English college.
00:11:18Oh, no.
00:11:19I've just come out of one.
00:11:43Did you hear that?
00:11:45You needn't fear, Miss Alice.
00:11:47It's just the storm drawing too close.
00:11:50No, not the thunder.
00:11:52The scream.
00:11:53It seemed like a scream to me, too.
00:11:56Like a...
00:11:56Emily, perhaps you're mistaken.
00:11:59It was more like the sound of a dog howling.
00:12:03That was probably it.
00:12:05Just a dog.
00:12:06Of course.
00:12:07Our peasants have many of them.
00:12:09By tomorrow, you'll be accustomed to the countryside that surrounds this old castle.
00:12:13Oh, I'm being silly.
00:12:19I'm afraid your sister is very excitable, Mr. Taylor.
00:12:25Good evening, Doctor.
00:12:28Good evening.
00:12:32The Count has been expecting you.
00:12:43You must all be tired from your long journey.
00:12:47It's quite late.
00:12:49Then you best get some rest.
00:12:50I'm not at all tired.
00:12:52In college, you were already in bed at this hour.
00:13:05Good evening.
00:13:09I'm terribly sorry I couldn't make it in time.
00:13:11But your patience prevented you.
00:13:15It seems that for a doctor, a watch is useful only for taking pulses.
00:13:22If you think you're staring at my sister, you're mistaken.
00:13:25I didn't realize I was staring.
00:13:28I immediately recognized you from the description your brother gave me.
00:13:32I'm honored in himself.
00:13:34Dr. LaRouche.
00:13:36In only a few months, he has gained all my esteem and trust.
00:13:39Alice and John Taylor.
00:13:42And Dr. Brichel?
00:13:46The old doctor had taken care of three generations of Dublant's field,
00:13:50but was too old for the fourth.
00:13:54Shall we go?
00:13:56I wouldn't forgive myself if the beauty of our lovely Miss Alice were to suffer for lack of rest.
00:14:00You're making me blush.
00:14:02My name is Roderick.
00:14:05I'll accompany you to your rooms.
00:14:09Wait for me here.
00:14:12I must beat you at chess.
00:14:17Miss Eleanor?
00:14:19Yes?
00:14:20Thank you, sir.
00:14:21You're very comfortable.
00:14:21I'd appreciate it
00:14:24if you wouldn't mind
00:14:27keeping me company.
00:14:41Well, then?
00:14:43Nothing.
00:14:45I'm not sure I like the way you've been behaving.
00:14:50And now, if Fister's here with those other two...
00:14:53You entered into this, and you'll have to find a way out.
00:14:56If you can.
00:14:57Choo!
00:14:59I'm warning you, shall he come in now and see you like this?
00:15:01It will all be over for the two of us.
00:15:06Where is it?
00:15:09Where is it?
00:15:10Where is it?

00:17:12I don't know.
00:17:50I don't know.
00:18:17I don't know.
00:18:50I don't know.
00:18:53I don't know.
00:18:55I don't know.
00:18:56I don't know.
00:19:09I don't know.
00:19:13I don't know.
00:19:50I don't know.
00:20:19I don't know.
00:20:53I don't know.
00:21:12I saw one in the tower.
00:21:14Are you sure that it wasn't just your imagination?
00:21:19No.
00:21:21It couldn't have been.
00:21:22I tell you, I really saw him.
00:21:24He was together with your housekeeper, Miss Eleanor.
00:21:27Eleanor.
00:21:30Eleanor.
00:21:31Eleanor.
00:21:37We can go up together.
00:21:41Are you afraid?
00:21:43I don't know.
00:21:45I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go.
00:22:15I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, I fall.
00:22:18I'll go, I'll go.
00:22:18got to go.
00:22:22Yeah.
00:22:23Yeah, yeah.
00:22:35I don't know.
00:22:36I reckon, but there's a 뭐?
00:22:37I'll go, I'll go.
00:22:37Well, back in.
00:22:39Yeah.
00:22:57Are you convinced now, Alan?
00:23:01I'm sure it was in this room.
00:23:04It's just an abandoned room in an old tower.
00:23:06Well, exactly as one would imagine in a dream.
00:23:12Go to your room now and get some rest.
00:23:44Please forgive me.
00:23:47But it all seems so real.
00:23:49So terrible.
00:24:14The hour.
00:24:18It was midnight.
00:24:23It's now midnight.
00:24:47Come on.
00:24:50Hurry.
00:24:52Let's run.
00:24:55Come on.
00:25:06There was a terrible fire and the old abbey was completely destroyed.
00:25:10And Emily's father died?
00:25:12Yes.
00:25:13How strange.
00:25:15Was he anything at all like Rodrigue?
00:25:18I wouldn't know.
00:25:23One is surrounded by sadness in these ruins.
00:25:27On the other hand, your brother seems to be enjoying his vacation here.
00:25:31And why not?
00:25:32He's in love with Emily.
00:25:33It's only natural.
00:25:34Emily's very lovely.
00:25:36But she's...
00:25:38She's in the Blanche field.
00:25:41What do you mean?
00:25:44Oh, nothing.
00:25:45If the chief belongs to one of the noblest families in Britain, and I don't think your brother realizes what
00:25:50he would be up against.
00:25:53Do you mean that a Blanche field cannot fall in love with you, with the John Taylors?
00:25:58Oh, of course.
00:25:59There's no law to prevent, Emily.
00:26:02But there are certain prejudices that exist in these families.
00:26:05And if one is not keen to them, it's advisable to stay away.
00:26:08You're implying that my brother and I should leave the castle?
00:26:11No.
00:26:12I didn't mean it that way.
00:26:15Your presence is refreshing.
00:26:18But Tom de Blanche field...
00:26:19Even Rodrigue seems to welcome our presence here.
00:26:22And it's not just a matter of good manners.
00:26:24And I was told as much last night.
00:26:28Are you sure?
00:26:33Yes, quite sure.
00:26:52Oh, John.
00:26:54I love you, Emily.
00:26:56Emily.
00:27:14I love you, Emily.
00:28:02You know, after that long walk,
00:28:05I'm starving.
00:28:06Oh, here in the castle, John,
00:28:07it is said that one is not allowed to be actually starving.
00:28:09At most, we will admit to being of good appetite.
00:28:12Really?
00:28:13Well, I'll admit to it.
00:28:14Then you can double it.
00:28:16Doctor.
00:28:17The surgeon.
00:28:22Excuse me.
00:28:30If you wish, tea will be served very shortly in the room.
00:28:52I've decided to tell them.
00:28:54And stop this pretending.
00:28:56Why did you have your sister come back?
00:28:58You could have avoided...
00:28:59I couldn't prevent her.
00:29:00It's her home.
00:29:05If anything happens to her,
00:29:08you'll be responsible.
00:29:11Me?
00:29:14You seem to forget I limited myself to giving professional advice.
00:29:18And nothing else.
00:29:21Instead,
00:29:23you wouldn't allow me to...
00:29:25Are you accusing me
00:29:27because I wanted to spare his life?
00:29:31I only hoped it.
00:29:34Your show of pity will not compromise us both.
00:29:44We must go now.
00:29:46Your guests are waiting for us.
00:29:49Alice.
00:29:52I need your help.
00:29:54Oh?
00:29:55I think you know your brother, John, and I.
00:29:58We're hunting you.
00:29:59You see?
00:30:00Well, John and I...
00:30:02You're a pair of dubs.
00:30:04Oh, is that obvious?
00:30:05I didn't think you were trying to hide it.
00:30:07You mean even Rodrigue is aware of it, then?
00:30:09He has eyes.
00:30:18Miss Alice.
00:30:23Rodrigue, what's wrong?
00:30:26I don't know what you'll think of me.
00:30:29But I hope you will forgive me
00:30:30for having purposely deceived you last night.
00:30:35Emily?
00:30:35You must prepare yourself for something unpleasant.
00:30:40What is it?
00:30:43When I wrote you that our father perished
00:30:45when the old abbey burned down,
00:30:47I lied.
00:30:49You lied?
00:30:51Yes.
00:30:53He's alive.
00:30:58He's not dead.
00:31:03Oh, Roderick.
00:31:06But why did you let me believe he was dead?
00:31:09Because...
00:31:10Because he's so horribly disfigured.
00:31:13Oh.
00:31:16You must realize...
00:31:17You must realize...
00:31:18I had to...
00:31:19To uphold the good name of de Blanchefield.
00:31:21I had to.
00:31:26Your father...
00:31:27I actually saw him then.
00:31:30Yes.
00:31:32Try to understand me.
00:31:36Perhaps I shouldn't have done it.
00:31:38Until last night,
00:31:39I was still hoping to be able to hide the truth.
00:31:44But now...
00:31:45You knew it?
00:31:48No.
00:31:49Nothing.
00:31:51I was sleeping when...
00:31:52All of a sudden,
00:31:53I heard a scream.
00:31:54I looked everywhere for John's room,
00:31:55and without realizing it,
00:31:57I found myself in that cell.
00:32:01That woman was there.
00:32:04She wanted to give him an injection.
00:32:08I saw her.
00:32:09She was there torturing him.
00:32:10Nonsense.
00:32:11He wanted to escape.
00:32:11It's true.
00:32:15In fact,
00:32:16he's escaped.
00:32:18And if you hadn't interfered,
00:32:19it wouldn't have happened.
00:32:20I was injecting a sedative
00:32:22prescribed by the doctor.
00:32:24He's right.
00:32:25He fled into the forest.
00:32:27Etienne and his men
00:32:28are already searching for him.
00:32:31Let's hope they find him.
00:32:35He's very dangerous.
00:32:37But he's so old.
00:32:39Besides, he's my father.
00:32:42I'm going into the woods to look for him.
00:32:44He'd never harm me.
00:32:45I'll come with you.
00:32:46Come back here!
00:32:47What you don't realize
00:32:49is that it's you he wants to kill.
00:32:56But he...
00:32:59My own father.
00:33:01Emily.
00:33:03Sit down.
00:33:07Your brother has something more to explain.
00:33:16Speak up
00:33:18before it's too late.
00:33:30Carved on the headstone
00:33:31of our family tomb,
00:33:33there is an old prophecy
00:33:35that only
00:33:36a warped and distorted mind
00:33:38could believe in.
00:33:41It says that the house
00:33:42of Dublin Spiel
00:33:43will end with this generation
00:33:44if a female descendant
00:33:46reaches the age of 21.
00:33:49Exactly.
00:33:5021?
00:33:52Your birthday
00:33:53is on the 23rd of October.
00:33:55Which means
00:33:56in exactly five days.
00:33:58It's a sign
00:33:59of a scorpion
00:33:59of the clock.
00:34:01Precisely.
00:34:03And my father
00:34:04would do anything
00:34:04to carry out
00:34:05this prophecy.
00:34:11And that's why
00:34:12he wants to kill you, Emily.
00:34:20But don't worry.
00:34:22As I have always done,
00:34:25I'll watch over you
00:34:26every moment.
00:34:38Did you find him?
00:34:40No.
00:34:41And I searched the forest
00:34:42for miles around.
00:34:44You attend.
00:34:45Tell me.
00:34:45Were there any traces?
00:34:46No, my lord.
00:34:47We looked everywhere,
00:34:48but with so few men
00:34:49it would take weeks
00:34:50to cover the whole territory.
00:34:52I see.
00:34:53But we'll organize
00:34:54a bigger search party.
00:34:56Don't worry, my lord.
00:34:57We'll find him.
00:34:58Let's go.
00:35:01Come on.
00:35:35Emily, listen to me.
00:35:38I'm entering your sleep.
00:35:42You must obey me.
00:35:45Abandon your will, Emily.
00:35:49Your destiny is now
00:35:51in my hands.
00:35:52You will follow me, Emily.
00:35:56To your tomb.
00:35:59To your death.
00:36:01To die.
00:36:04To die.
00:36:06To die.
00:36:08To die.
00:36:10To die.
00:36:11To die.
00:36:11To die.
00:36:20To die.
00:36:29To die.

00:42:17I

00:42:23Emily
00:42:25Emily
00:42:31your nightgown your slippers are all covered with mud you went out last night
00:42:37well
00:42:39no
00:42:3985
00:42:40but
00:42:41it rained last night and you went out look your SP is all dirty
00:42:46No, it's not possible
00:42:49I never went out of my room
00:42:52I'm sure
00:42:54But think, perhaps
00:42:56That's what you're trying to remember
00:43:01I don't want to remember anything
00:43:05I mustn't remember anything
00:43:08Go away
00:43:15Oh, forgive me
00:43:19Forgive me
00:43:21But I feel so strange
00:43:26I'll be
00:43:27I'll be alright in a moment
00:43:31I'll join you in a few minutes
00:43:52I'll be alright
00:43:54I'll be alright
00:43:54I'll be alright
00:44:12I'll be alright
00:44:44I'll be alright
00:45:14I'll be alright
00:45:23Well, what's your decision?
00:45:26Here I
00:45:28You must decide
00:45:29Had I wanted
00:45:30By now you would have been betrayed
00:45:45How is she?
00:45:47It's nothing serious
00:45:51She's resting now
00:45:55Well, I hope you're right
00:45:58I don't think you realize
00:46:00What Emily means to me
00:46:02I can imagine
00:46:04And for this reason
00:46:05And for this reason
00:46:05I assure you
00:46:06That it's not the case
00:46:07To worry
00:46:15Two or three days of rest
00:46:18And she'll be carefree
00:46:19And fit as she was before
00:46:22Is that everything
00:46:24You have my word
00:46:27Well, what was it then?
00:46:29Perhaps she's still overwrought
00:46:32Or she has fallen in love
00:46:35Yes
00:46:36That could be it
00:46:37The American
00:46:39Not the sixth
00:46:42Within a few days
00:46:43After Emily's birthday
00:46:44He will have gone away
00:46:45You can be sure of that
00:46:48Does Miss Alice
00:46:50Say
00:46:59And why should she remain?
00:47:11Actually
00:47:13Many doctors are interested
00:47:15In the study of hypnotism
00:47:17Of course
00:47:18But
00:47:18If you consider Emily's condition
00:47:20It's a strange coincidence
00:47:22You might have told me sooner
00:47:24I only found out about it
00:47:26This morning
00:47:26And then
00:47:27How could I
00:47:28Have told you
00:47:29If you were out all day
00:47:30Leaving me alone with Rodrigue?
00:47:33You like Rodrigue
00:47:35Don't you?
00:47:36Yes
00:47:37Very much
00:47:41If you want my opinion
00:47:42I don't like him
00:47:44Nor this miserable castle
00:47:47As far as I'm concerned
00:47:48They can have it
00:47:52They've gone to bed
00:47:54It's time you go
00:47:55And get to rest
00:47:56It's midnight
00:47:58You'll see
00:47:58Emily will soon be better
00:47:59If we both watch over
00:48:02In this gloomy atmosphere
00:48:04Emily's buoyant
00:48:05Young and jovial
00:48:06But in this manner
00:48:08How can you help
00:48:09Feeling anything but moody
00:48:10The servants in this place
00:48:11The walls
00:48:12Everything here
00:48:14Seems morose
00:48:15And death-like
00:48:16John
00:48:16John
00:48:17Please
00:48:20I'm sorry
00:48:22Forgive me
00:48:24I'm very worried for Emily
00:48:26I've got to convince her
00:48:27To come away with me
00:48:35Good night, Alice
00:48:38John
00:48:40You'll see
00:48:41Everything will be alright
00:49:00Emily
00:49:05Emily
00:49:06No
00:49:07I don't want to die
00:49:11Leave me
00:49:12No
00:49:13Emily
00:49:13No
00:49:14Go away
00:49:15It's horrible
00:49:17No
00:49:18It's alright
00:49:19I don't want to die
00:49:20What happened?
00:49:22What are you doing here?
00:49:24I was about to go to my room
00:49:26And she appeared as if in a trance
00:49:30But as soon as I tried to shake her out of it
00:49:32She screamed as if awakening from a nightmare
00:49:35Leave me
00:49:37Don't touch me
00:49:38Leave her alone
00:49:48Have someone call the doctor
00:49:49I want to get to the bottom of this
00:49:51No
00:49:52Emily doesn't need any doctors
00:49:55And much less one like LaRouche
00:49:57What have you against Dr. LaRouche?
00:49:59John
00:50:05Nothing definite
00:50:06But I'll soon know enough to make a formal accusation
00:50:09If you have any accusations to make
00:50:11Please do so immediately
00:50:14Dr. LaRouche is a gentleman
00:50:15And I have never had any reason to doubt my faith in him
00:50:21My lord, I am a doctor
00:50:23And I don't see any reason why my interest in magnetism or hypnotism
00:50:27Should need any justification
00:50:32I'm sure
00:50:34That you will admit
00:50:36That Mesmer's book
00:50:37May have aroused a certain curiosity
00:50:41Fantasy
00:50:42Miss Alice
00:50:46My lord
00:50:46Believe
00:50:50The art of hypnotism is now recognized by many doctors
00:50:56And may one day be a part of medical studies
00:51:00Despite the barriers of an ignorant society
00:51:03I truly hope you haven't been using my sister Emily
00:51:06As a guinea pig for your experiments
00:51:09Because if you have been, you'll go wrong
00:51:17I have no practice whatsoever in hypnotic procedure
00:51:26But there is no doubt
00:51:27The girl's state of prostration
00:51:30Is a condition that resembles most accurately
00:51:32What is referred to as a hypnotic coma
00:51:34In a hypnotic coma
00:51:37And what does that mean?
00:51:42It's difficult to talk when you're under accusation
00:51:47However, I can tell you
00:51:48What is now afflicting Emily
00:51:50Is no passing illness
00:51:54I assure you
00:51:55It's something much more undefinable
00:51:56Affecting not only your body
00:51:57But threatening inexorably to kill a spirit
00:51:59This is all very vague
00:52:01Exactly
00:52:02What you have yet to explain to us, Doctor
00:52:04Is Emily's helplessness
00:52:06In her transformation
00:52:09In only a few hours
00:52:11She's become a useless creature
00:52:17Deprived of any will to live
00:52:18That's exactly it
00:52:20Deprived of her own faculty
00:52:25Emily seems to be the victim of a slow
00:52:27And ever-progressive case of poisoning
00:52:29Of poisoning?
00:52:31Yes
00:52:33It's not her body that is threatened
00:52:36It's her spirit
00:52:41Then what would you say
00:52:42Was the best cure for her?
00:52:46I wouldn't leave her alone
00:52:50And that's the reason
00:52:52I insisted she stay outdoors
00:52:54As much as possible
00:52:57I know of no other cure
00:52:59That could help her
00:53:00You have the same opinion, Mr. Taylor?
00:53:02Yes, of course
00:53:03But
00:53:05She's coming down now
00:53:11I think that I've been quit
00:53:14Oh, don't go
00:53:16I could have easily satisfied
00:53:18Your curiosity personally
00:53:19If you'd ask me information
00:53:21About my book
00:53:22But
00:53:22It's all been cleared up, Alice
00:53:25There's only one really effective cure
00:53:27For Emily
00:53:30And that is
00:53:31To free her from the nightmare
00:53:32Of her insane father
00:53:35Quiet, she's coming
00:53:43How are you, dear?
00:53:44Much better
00:53:46Would you like to walk outside
00:53:48In the garden for a while?
00:53:50Yes
00:53:55Don't go too far
00:53:56Aren't you coming?
00:53:58No, I'm afraid I've neglected my business these days
00:54:01And I must take advantage of this moment
00:54:03With your permission
00:54:04I'll accompany you
00:54:07If it please, you think
00:54:08Very much
00:54:25Over there
00:54:29Emily
00:54:30Emily
00:54:32There
00:54:32In the tower
00:54:33I swear I saw someone move
00:54:38It must be
00:54:39The old count
00:54:40It couldn't be my father
00:54:42That's absurd
00:54:44If there is anyone
00:54:45Rodrigo managed to find him
00:54:47I doubt it
00:54:49I'd say it was an accident
00:54:51Probably
00:54:52It was a problem
00:54:54But it wouldn't fall down
00:54:55Unless there was something that
00:54:57Or someone who
00:54:59A castle is very old
00:55:04Still
00:55:05It seemed to me
00:55:06There was a shadow moving about
00:55:10Where's Alistair?
00:55:12John
00:55:14I sent him to make a purchase
00:55:16Do you need anything?
00:55:19No, thank you
00:55:20Nothing
00:55:22There's no one
00:55:23I went all the way to the top
00:55:25But I couldn't find a trace
00:55:27I thought so
00:55:29You're out of danger now
00:55:31Isn't that so, my lord?
00:55:35There's no danger
00:55:38Would you like to continue your walk
00:55:40Or go back indoors?
00:55:42No
00:55:43I feel safe being here, John
00:55:47As you wish
00:56:01Miss Eleanor
00:56:03Would you come with me a moment, please?
00:56:06We will have to repair
00:56:15As soon as you're well again
00:56:16You'll come with us to America
00:56:17It would be wonderful
00:56:19I can promise you that
00:56:21But
00:56:23Roderick would never consent to my leaving
00:56:28Tomorrow is your birthday
00:56:32And there won't be any need for his consent
00:56:39And if you are in love with me
00:56:41Oh, John
00:56:43Do you doubt me?
00:56:52I'm sure that if we could have met under different circumstances
00:56:55You would now have another opinion of me
00:56:57But why do you think so?
00:56:59Because you're
00:57:01You're a woman who's very easily influenced by outward appearance
00:57:05You mean that I'm superficial?
00:57:07The opposite
00:57:09If you have a fault, I'd say it's something to the contrary
00:57:12A hypersensitivity
00:57:15Obviously, Count Roderick has made quite an impression
00:57:18Hasn't he?
00:57:20I didn't know I had to reveal my impression
00:57:23I maintain, however, that Roderick is a gentleman as there are very few
00:57:31Of course
00:57:32I know that you don't include me in those few
00:57:38And yet I would do anything to have you change your opinion
00:57:40I didn't say that you
00:57:41Please don't
00:57:43You don't have to explain
00:57:46It's quite clear
00:57:48You're in love with him and I with you
00:57:50While on the other hand, he loves another
00:57:53Love?
00:57:57Oh, no
00:57:59It was just
00:58:00Please don't misunderstand me
00:58:03There exists no one else
00:58:22I carried out your orders, Miss Eleanor
00:58:25Open
00:58:31Open, hurry
00:59:00She's only fainted
00:59:04Ah, yes
00:59:05I went to purchase some medicines for Miss Eleanor
00:59:08For Miss Eleanor?
00:59:10For Mademoiselle Emily
00:59:11I was sent by Miss Eleanor
00:59:14Perhaps a doctor can tell you, Miss Alice
00:59:16If it was he who prescribed the medicines
00:59:19I
00:59:22Oh, yes, it's possible
00:59:24Dr. LaRouche, I'm sure better than anyone else
00:59:27Could inform you on all matters concerning this castle
00:59:31Do you wish anything else, Miss Alice?
00:59:34Yes
01:00:01He's very weak
01:00:03I can barely feel her pulse
01:00:09Emily
01:00:13Emily Durst
01:00:18It's me, Rodrigue
01:00:21Emily
01:00:26She shouldn't have gone out
01:00:28You'll forget she was frightened
01:00:33She needs rest
01:00:38Alice, could you stay with her
01:00:41Until she's fallen asleep
01:00:53Emily
01:00:55My dear
01:00:57What does it tell me?
01:01:02I'm afraid
01:01:06I'm afraid
01:01:15No
01:01:16It's not the walk that made her worse
01:01:19The cause must lie somewhere else
01:01:21She's terrorized
01:01:23Emily lives in the fear that someone is going to kill her
01:01:27If they haven't found the old cowardice yet
01:01:30I'll find him
01:01:32I'll find him even if it takes the rest of my life
01:01:49John
01:01:51John
01:01:52John
01:01:54John
01:01:55John
01:01:56John
01:02:03John
01:02:03John
01:02:03John
01:02:04John
01:02:04John
01:02:04John
01:02:04John
01:02:04John
01:02:04John
01:02:04John
01:02:05John
01:02:12The End
01:02:40The End
01:03:11Oh, Dad, Dad
01:03:14Emily
01:03:20Emily
01:03:21John, John, John
01:03:24Emily
01:03:26Emily
01:03:29Emily
01:03:29Emily
01:03:29Emily
01:03:29Emily
01:03:32No!
01:03:34No!
01:03:47Your medicine.
01:03:51Drink it!
01:03:53Drink it, I said!
01:03:56No!
01:03:59What?
01:03:59What do you mean that glass?
01:04:01Let go!
01:04:02No!
01:04:05Emily screamed. She was poisoning her.
01:04:08What are you talking about?
01:04:09What's in that glass?
01:04:12Why don't you answer?
01:04:33If you can't trust me, then why don't you give it to her?
01:04:37Ten drops.
01:05:02Drink it, Emily.
01:05:04I love you.
01:05:05Don't let go.
01:08:49Emily, you have reached eternal rest.
01:08:54Enter.
01:08:56You are dead, Emily.
01:08:58You are dead.
01:09:05Emily!
01:09:11Emily!
01:09:12Emily!
01:09:13Emily!
01:09:13Emily, Emily, it's me.
01:09:14Emily.
01:09:14Emily, you are dead.
01:09:17Emily, you are dead.
01:09:25Emily, you are dead.
01:09:26Emily, you are dead.
01:09:27Come on.
01:09:57Come on.
01:10:11Why are you crying?
01:10:12Nothing, Miss.
01:10:13It's just when I think that Emil is 21 today.
01:10:17I saw her born, you know.
01:10:19Yes, of course.
01:10:20And this is her favorite cake.
01:10:23Yes.
01:10:24That's why Count Rodriguez asked you to come here, Dorte.
01:11:42The Lord.
01:11:43The Lord.
01:11:45The Lord.
01:11:52What is it?
01:11:53It's the American. He's been badly wounded.
01:12:11John!
01:12:12Oh, John, darling.
01:12:15John.
01:14:03The Lord, our God, is merciful and just.
01:14:09The Lord, our dear departed, O Lord, thy perpetual light.
01:14:13The righteous shall be remembered in eternity and shall not come to suffer infamy.
01:14:19The Lord hath done good things.
01:14:24The Lord, creator and redeemer of all the faithful.
01:14:54The Lord.
01:15:02The Lord, our influence.
01:15:15The Lord, our good Spirit.
01:15:15The Lord, our foe in heaven.
01:16:54I don't want to die.
01:16:56I don't want to die.
01:16:57I'm alive.
01:16:58I'm alive.
01:17:00Oh, don't abandon me.
01:17:02I beg of you.
01:17:03Please.
01:17:04Please don't leave me.
01:17:05I beg of you.
01:17:06I'm afraid.
01:17:07Don't leave me.
01:17:08I'm afraid.
01:17:09I'm afraid.
01:17:10I'm afraid.
01:17:12I'm afraid.
01:17:12I'm afraid.
01:17:12I'm afraid.
01:17:12I'm afraid.
01:17:20I'm afraid.
01:17:21I'm afraid.
01:17:23I'm afraid.
01:17:24I'm afraid.
01:17:24I'm afraid.
01:17:29I'm afraid.
01:17:32I'm afraid.
01:17:41The End
01:18:32The End
01:18:34Alice
01:18:36You have no reason to suspect me
01:18:38Believe me
01:18:39Because
01:18:43I also want to take revenge for Emily's death
01:18:48What?
01:18:49Yes
01:18:50I'm certain that you have killed
01:18:55The same person also attempted to murder your brother
01:18:59John knew that Emily had left the castle last night
01:19:03But Emily died in her womb
01:19:05In her bed
01:19:09Emily was led to this Abbey almost every night
01:19:12Every night
01:19:13But then
01:19:15You mean you knew it didn't stay
01:19:23And yet
01:19:25By not saying anything I was hoping
01:19:32To make the murderer fall into my hands
01:19:36Emily
01:19:38Should never have returned to the castle
01:19:41For a curse has befallen the house of the Bonsfield
01:19:45And the first victim of this mystery was Dr. Bruchel, my predecessor
01:19:50And close friend
01:19:54It was he who looked after the old count who was horribly burned when the Abbey got fire
01:20:02Before dying he said
01:20:04I will never leave this castle alive
01:20:07But he was killed
01:20:11I'm sure of it
01:20:14Bruchel was killed because he knew the old count wasn't insane
01:20:17And he never agreed with Rodrigue's supposition
01:20:20Then you think that
01:20:25When the doctor died
01:20:29I took over
01:20:31And you arrived with Emily
01:20:35I had to act quickly
01:20:37But I was allowed to see the old lord only on rare occasions
01:20:43Never alone
01:20:47But I convinced Rodrigue to engage the help of a nurse
01:20:51A woman in whom I had absolute faith
01:20:54Miss Eleanor
01:20:58Yes
01:21:01But unfortunately she too is under his hypnotic spell
01:21:05I will never believe that
01:21:10There
01:21:12A hen
01:21:23Wait here
01:21:25Wait here

01:23:17He knows, and he will die.
01:23:19No!
01:23:21You know there's no reason why he should die.
01:23:23Believe me, it isn't necessary that he be killed.
01:23:26He doesn't know you.
01:23:27He knows, he knows, and he will die.
01:23:31He saw Alistair, and he knows, I tell you.
01:23:35And now he'll die. He'll die.
01:23:37The knife!
01:23:38No! You will not kill again. Get back!
01:23:42Get back, Alistair!
01:23:43You'll die, too!
