00:02:03You must be patient.
00:02:05We shall go out as soon as my niece reaches this house.
00:02:08She will come soon.
00:02:11How do you feel now?
00:02:13Ready to face the old man?
00:02:15I dread going back to that house.
00:02:18I can feel his presence already.
00:02:20How far is it from here?
00:02:22A few miles down the road.
00:02:24I wish you'd take me back to London.
00:02:26Oh, dear Nora, I'm afraid I can't.
00:02:28I'm afraid I can't.
00:02:30I'm afraid I can't.
00:02:32I'm afraid I can't.
00:02:34I'm afraid I can't.
00:02:36I'm afraid I can't.
00:02:38I wish you'd take me back to London.
00:02:40Oh, dear Nora, for heaven's sake, be practical.
00:02:42You're his heir. Why antagonize him?
00:02:44That's right.
00:02:46We must be practical at all costs, mustn't we?
00:02:48Well, one weekend won't kill us.
00:02:50And anyway, there is the legacy.
00:02:52Beside, Alan and Kathy will cheer things up a bit.
00:02:54Besides, Alan and Kathy will cheer things up a bit.
00:02:55Besides, Alan and Kathy will cheer things up a bit.
00:02:59Telegram told me to come alone.
00:03:01There'll be trouble when he sees them, as well as you.
00:03:03Your husband has a perfect right to come serve your friends.
00:03:08What's the matter?
00:03:10Nothing. I was remembering this room.
00:03:12It was the year I left.
00:03:14Or should I say, escaped from my uncle's care.
00:03:16The year I went abroad.
00:03:18I was given my first gin tonic in a spa.
00:03:22Aren't you two going to dance?
00:03:24My bride is indulging in nostalgic reminiscences.
00:03:26As a perfect husband, I'm allowing her to wallow in them.
00:03:28Yeah, wedded bliss. All that calls for a drink.
00:03:30It's the perfect match.
00:03:32Leonora's money and Richard's capacity for spending.
00:03:34Shut up.
00:03:36I wanted your turn of exercise.
00:03:38Alan dances like a broken-down bulldozer.
00:03:40Not at all. I'm very light on your feet.
00:03:42I shall refuel...
00:03:44and take off again.
00:03:46Go on.
00:03:50Oh!
00:03:52Sorry, dear.
00:03:56Pardon me. Leonora Bryant, isn't it?
00:03:58Hello.
00:04:00My husband, Richard Johnson.
00:04:02Dr. Brian Martin.
00:04:04Look, if you two will excuse me,
00:04:06I'll go and relieve Alan for a bit.
00:04:08By the way, Doctor, how's the stall?
00:04:10Down to a fine drizzle now.
00:04:12Good. We'll shove off soon.
00:04:14Won't you sit down?
00:04:20I thought you'd moved to London years ago.
00:04:22That's right.
00:04:24Mama left me the house when she died.
00:04:26Dorothy and I use it for weekends.
00:04:28Dorothy?
00:04:30My wife.
00:04:32My uncle sent for me.
00:04:34I haven't seen him for nine years.
00:04:36Now the old man used to hate my guts.
00:04:38He hated anyone in the district
00:04:40who was remotely civil to me.
00:04:42I wrote you several times
00:04:44after your medical exams,
00:04:46but you never answered, did you?
00:04:48I went back to the States to complete my studies.
00:04:50And before that?
00:04:52I was a pre-occupied medical student.
00:04:54You were just a kid.
00:04:56Was I?
00:04:58Where do you practice now?
00:05:00In case I cut myself in a tin opener.
00:05:02Holly Street.
00:05:04My man, Neurusi, is not cut. I'm a psychiatrist.
00:05:06Oh, I didn't know that.
00:05:08Yes, indeed.
00:05:10So if you hear of any wealthy neurotics around,
00:05:12just pass them along to me.
00:05:14Say, I really should be going.
00:05:16Dorothy's expecting me back in a half hour.
00:05:18We've got guests coming to dinner.
00:05:20Stay a little longer, please.
00:05:22Please.
00:05:24I'll be murdered.
00:05:30Aren't you holding me a little tight
00:05:32for a newly married man?
00:05:34Force of habit, remember?
00:05:36Yes.
00:05:38What's the matter with your wife, Richard?
00:05:40She's acting very strangely tonight.
00:05:42No more than usual.
00:05:44Careful she can see us.
00:05:46I doubt it.
00:05:48She's talking over old times
00:05:50of the long-lost local lover.
00:05:52She doesn't know there's anyone else in the room.
00:05:54I see you find me entirely irresistible.
00:05:56No, I don't.
00:05:58I doubt you, mustn't I?
00:06:00Why must you?
00:06:02I don't know.
00:06:04Well, maybe we can get together over the weekend.
00:06:06I'd like you to meet Dorothy.
00:06:08Do you really have to go?
00:06:10It's late, Lee, awfully late.
00:06:12I suppose it is.
00:06:14Goodbye now. Nice to see you again.
00:06:16The rumor has it the rain's stopped.
00:06:18Has it?
00:06:20Well, come on, let's get going.
00:06:22Hey, look at me. I'm taking my courage in both hands.
00:06:24Here I am.
00:06:26Come on.
00:06:56The rain is over.
00:06:58We are going out.
00:07:00When my niece arrives, you will show her to her room.
00:07:02You will not speak with her.
00:07:04Is that understood?
00:07:06And if she does not come?
00:07:08She will come. She has no choice.
00:07:10Better she had never been born.
00:07:14Then come back here.
00:07:16To this.
00:07:18Anna, it was her destiny to be born a Brant
00:07:20as it is mine to die as one.
00:07:26Come on.
00:07:56Wake up, Alan.
00:07:58Wake up, Alan.
00:08:24We are.
00:08:26Are we there?
00:08:27We are.
00:08:29I can't go into that house.
00:08:31I can't.
00:08:31Don't be so childish.
00:08:32She's only your uncle.
00:08:33Get out of the car.
00:08:40What is this place?
00:08:41A training school for ghouls?
00:08:43Will somebody please tell me what I'm doing here?
00:08:45You tell her, Richard.
00:08:57You better come alone, Miss Lenova.
00:09:06Nice pictures.
00:09:06Valuable.
00:09:27Who is he?
00:09:28Naturally, I've come with my husband.
00:09:30The other lady and gentleman are my guests.
00:09:33Please take our cases upstairs, then show us to our rooms.
00:09:36After that, perhaps you'll bring us some coffee.
00:09:48Anna?
00:09:50Yes, Miss Lenova?
00:09:52Why isn't my uncle here?
00:09:55He's gone out for a while, but he will return later.
00:10:15Listen.
00:10:18What's the matter with you?
00:10:21Can't you hear it?
00:10:23Can't you hear it?
00:10:25Hear what?
00:10:27I didn't hear anything.
00:10:28Neither did I.
00:10:29Go now.
00:10:30Leave it.
00:10:59How about some light in this morgue?
00:11:01Alan, turn that lamp on.
00:11:05No.
00:11:06Put it out.
00:11:07No.
00:11:08No.
00:11:09No.
00:11:10No.
00:11:11No.
00:11:12No.
00:11:13No.
00:11:14No.
00:11:15No.
00:11:16No.
00:11:17No.
00:11:18No.
00:11:19No.
00:11:20No.
00:11:21No.
00:11:22No.
00:11:23No.
00:11:24No.
00:11:25No.
00:11:26No.
00:11:27No.
00:11:29No.
00:11:30No.
00:11:31The love of darkness must run in the family.
00:11:34Well, I must say I consider our host very rude.
00:11:37He ought to be here to welcome us.
00:11:39Where the heck is he?
00:11:40I have no idea.
00:11:42I need a drink.
00:11:43So do I.
00:11:44There must be some liquor in this crypt.
00:11:46Well, go on.
00:11:47Let's have a look around.
00:11:48It'll give us something to do.
00:11:49Why not.
00:11:58I bet the old miser keeps it locked up in there.
00:12:00Yes.
00:12:01Maybe we can get in from the terrace.
00:12:02Come on.
00:12:16Hurry up before he comes back.
00:12:17All right.
00:12:18I'm doing my best.
00:12:21Richard.
00:12:23Why did she marry you?
00:12:25She doesn't love you.
00:12:26Does she?
00:12:31You haven't answered my question.
00:12:45Shit.
00:12:48I know it sounds crazy, but Leonora, I'm afraid of her.
00:12:51Afraid of her?
00:12:52Why?
00:12:53I don't know, Richard.
00:12:54She's so wild sometimes, almost savage like an animal.
00:12:58She terrifies me.
00:13:00What nonsense.
00:13:01You need a drink.
00:13:02Come on.
00:13:03Let's get this lock on down.
00:13:04No, leave it.
00:13:05I'm cold.
00:13:06Are you?
00:13:10Leonora could see us now.
00:13:11She'd kill us, both of us.
00:13:14Let her try.
00:13:15I mean it.
00:13:24Leave them alone.
00:13:42Who are you and what are you doing here?
00:13:44Friends of Leonora.
00:13:45She invited us down for the weekend.
00:13:47I happen to be Leonora's husband.
00:13:49Indeed.
00:13:51Go in by the front door.
00:14:08Well, well.
00:14:12So you're back.
00:14:14You were instructed to come alone.
00:14:17I asked him to come with me.
00:14:22That's what I call real hospitality.
00:14:25If that's your uncle, you can keep him.
00:14:27No.
00:14:28I can't stand much more of this without a drink.
00:14:37I shall speak with my niece tonight when the others are asleep
00:14:40so that we shall not be disturbed.
00:14:43I shall speak with my niece tonight when the others are asleep
00:14:47so that we shall not be disturbed.
00:15:09Your rooms are ready if you wish to retire.
00:15:12Miss Leonora will have the principal bedroom.
00:15:15The other three rooms are in the west wing.
00:15:18What?
00:15:19They were not expected.
00:15:49What do you want?
00:15:50Shh.
00:15:51Be quiet.
00:15:52The others must not be disturbed.
00:15:57You will come downstairs at once.
00:16:02Your uncle wishes to speak to you.
00:16:05Now, at once.
00:16:07Come, please.
00:16:10I shall speak with my niece tonight when the others are asleep
00:16:13so that we shall not be disturbed.
00:16:15At once.
00:16:16Come, please.
00:16:18Tell him I will see him in the morning.
00:16:20Oh, no.
00:16:21You must see him now.
00:16:22Please, put on your things and come with me.
00:16:35You were always a lovely child, Miss Leonora.
00:16:39Now you have grown into a very beautiful woman.
00:16:45Come along.
00:16:54And it shall take place in the seventieth year of his life
00:16:57in the third moon.
00:16:59And the curse of the Brance shall be handed on to his heir or successor.
00:17:16And his mortal life shall be...
00:17:37You may go now.
00:17:41Yes, Anna, I was forgetting.
00:17:43It is time for you and me to part.
00:17:46I am grateful to you.
00:17:47Take care of her.
00:17:57Now, come with me.
00:17:58No, not in there.
00:18:00Don't be afraid.
00:18:02I wasn't allowed in that room as a child.
00:18:04Why should I go in now?
00:18:06What's in there?
00:18:07You are to learn the secret of that room now.
00:18:09Come.
00:18:14Come.
00:18:21You must pull yourself together, Leonora.
00:18:33Look.
00:18:44You... You're mad.
00:18:46You must be.
00:18:47If it were only true,
00:18:50the madness would die with me.
00:18:52The curse is part of my estate.
00:18:54It must pass on to my heir, to my nearest blood relation,
00:18:57to my dead brother's only child,
00:18:59my Leonora.
00:19:01I don't understand. What curse?
00:19:04To be condemned to live a life of horror and anguish,
00:19:09to have a former life.
00:19:11And anguish to have the form and intellect of a man,
00:19:15yet the cunning and savagery and bloodlust of these creatures.
00:19:20Look at that statuette.
00:19:22Look at it closely.
00:19:24It is the symbol of my affliction.
00:19:31Your mind's gone.
00:19:33You're ill.
00:19:34From tonight it must pass on from my blood to yours,
00:19:37the love of darkness,
00:19:39the longing for warm, raw flesh and blood.
00:19:42It is my legacy to you,
00:19:44passed down from generation to generation of our family
00:19:47for over 700 years.
00:19:53You've been reading too many of these books, haven't you?
00:19:56I'm sorry for you.
00:19:58Keep your pity for yourself, Leonora.
00:20:00From now on and for the rest of your life,
00:20:03there will be two of you as there are two of me.
00:20:06Two separate entities,
00:20:08distinguishable from each other but never apart.
00:20:11Stop! Let me out of this room.
00:20:14One commanding the other with a word, a thought.
00:20:18I will show you.
00:20:20No.
00:20:21Come. You must.
00:20:31Touch it, Leonora.
00:20:33Let it know the feel of your hand,
00:20:35for it will be the servant of your mind
00:20:37and the strength of your body.
00:20:39Touch it.
00:20:40No, I can't. I won't.
00:20:41Touch it.
00:20:45Do not feel as it feels.
00:20:47Live, savage.
00:20:54Barrett, lie down.
00:20:58There.
00:20:59The animal is already in your control.
00:21:02Leonora Brandt.
00:21:09In the morning, your friends must go.
00:21:11All of them.
00:21:13Richard is my husband. Don't take him from me.
00:21:16Don't drive away the love I need as you did before.
00:21:19Leonora, you must not bear children
00:21:21who may inherit the curse of this house.
00:21:24Our line must die out.
00:21:26Only then will this abomination cease.
00:21:32I can't stand it anymore.
00:21:34Let me out of this room.
00:21:40You cannot escape your destiny, my child.
00:21:44You are chained to this room for the rest of your life.
00:22:02No!
00:22:23Now I shall be free of my life-long burden.
00:22:26My spirit shall be liberated from my cursed body,
00:22:29from you, my other self.
00:22:53My soul is yours no longer.
00:22:55Do as you are bid.
00:22:57Now!
00:22:59Now!
00:23:29No!
00:24:00No!
00:24:14Leonora.
00:24:15Yes?
00:24:16I want you to tell me what happened last night.
00:24:20Why the glasses?
00:24:22It's my eyes. The light hurts them.
00:24:25Let me see them.
00:24:30Well?
00:24:32It was just as he said it would be.
00:24:35My uncle destroyed himself by willing the animal to kill him.
00:24:40Just before it happened, I ran out into the woods.
00:24:43I was trying to get away from this house.
00:24:45Suddenly, I felt quite different.
00:24:48I became like a savage animal.
00:24:50I wanted to kill something to feel the blood on my hands.
00:24:54You see,
00:24:55I have become what he was.
00:24:58I'll give you something to quieten your nerves.
00:25:01No.
00:25:02Don't come near me.
00:25:07Come on, be a good girl.
00:25:09I promise it won't hurt you.
00:25:13Sit on the bed and uncover your left arm.
00:25:19Then, when the animal came to me in the woods,
00:25:22I can't understand why I felt like I did.
00:25:25The blood on my hands made me feel strange, excited.
00:25:29I can't quite describe it.
00:25:31Hold on.
00:25:33Okay.
00:25:35Yet, somehow, I knew the leopard was me.
00:25:38My other self.
00:25:41He said it would be.
00:25:43Your other self?
00:25:45Yes.
00:25:46Now we are one and the same.
00:25:48Yes.
00:25:49Now we are one and the same.
00:25:52One and the same, huh?
00:25:54Well, how about going to bed?
00:25:55I want you to get some sleep.
00:26:00The touch of your hand makes me feel like myself again,
00:26:02as if it never happened.
00:26:04That will be the sedative.
00:26:14Brian.
00:26:19Stay and talk to me for a while.
00:26:25I've missed you so much all these years.
00:26:28I've never stopped loving you.
00:26:30Now I need you.
00:26:32Why don't you be a good girl,
00:26:34do just as I say, and get some rest?
00:26:38Send the others away?
00:26:39Richard and all of them?
00:26:41Why?
00:26:42You could do with some company around here to cheer you up.
00:26:45I'll come by this evening.
00:26:46Maybe bring Dorothy along.
00:26:48What for?
00:26:49To prove you're happily married?
00:26:51To try and stop me loving you?
00:26:53Now leave.
00:26:54Don't play with my emotions, Brian.
00:26:56I don't think I can control them anymore.
00:26:59You will.
00:27:03Now get some rest.
00:27:05Sleep.
00:27:16Sleep.
00:27:18Sleep.
00:27:38You're not being very sociable tonight, are you?
00:27:40What's the matter?
00:27:41Has Cathy stopped entertaining you?
00:27:46What is it?
00:27:47It's the leopard.
00:27:48Listen.
00:27:53Nonsense.
00:27:54They've combed the forest from end to end,
00:27:55not a sign of it.
00:27:57It's out there now.
00:27:59But only I can hear it.
00:28:03You must leave here, Richard, early tomorrow.
00:28:05I seem to remember something about taking you,
00:28:07for better or for worse.
00:28:08I have no intention of going.
00:28:10I'm telling you to leave, do you hear?
00:28:13The others can go.
00:28:15I'm sticking around.
00:28:17And after all, this is my home now, isn't it?
00:28:19I'm warning you, you don't...
00:28:23I suggest you come in when you're a little calmer.
00:28:26We found some whiskey in the cellar,
00:28:28and Alan's as high as a kite.
00:28:48I'm sorry.
00:29:07Of course, it's a little haunting, isn't it?
00:29:09Yes, I guess it haunts the word.
00:29:12The Werewolf.
00:29:13Fact, not legend.
00:29:14By Dr. Sigmund Alkenlech.
00:29:16The origin of lycanthropy.
00:29:18Many evil superstition.
00:29:20Not to him.
00:29:21You see, he was.
00:29:22Was what?
00:29:24A werewolf.
00:29:25Oh, now look, you don't really believe that, do you?
00:29:30At night, when darkness came,
00:29:33his soul entered into the body of a leopard.
00:29:36He stalked the forest for prey,
00:29:38looking for things to kill and devour.
00:29:40Let's not confuse fact with fiction.
00:29:42Your uncle imagined his soul entered the body of an animal.
00:29:45He did, it's true.
00:29:48Leonora, I want you to help me burn these books.
00:29:52I don't think we need to take them too seriously, do you?
00:29:55The true history of the Brandt blood curse
00:29:56has recorded by 26 generations of the descendants of Brandt.
00:30:01The curse of God was put upon Count Peter Brandt in 1253.
00:30:07Dummy animals and fairy tales.
00:30:09The morbid hobby of an unhinged old man.
00:30:16No! Don't burn them! No!
00:30:20Leave! Leave!
00:30:21No!
00:30:22Leave! Get a hold of yourself!
00:30:33I'm sorry.
00:30:35I don't quite know what happened.
00:30:37I'm sorry.
00:30:39I apologize for my unprofessional behavior.
00:30:41I was attacking the symptom of your trouble and not the cause.
00:30:45I hurt you.
00:30:46I'll get by.
00:30:57Am I out of my mind, Brandt?
00:30:59Tell me, is that what it is?
00:31:02You're in a state of deep traumatic shock.
00:31:05The way your uncle died, this gruesome room,
00:31:07it's all contributed.
00:31:10What am I going to do?
00:31:11Leave this house as soon as possible.
00:31:15Perhaps it is just imagination.
00:31:18It was so vivid.
00:31:23I don't know what to do.
00:31:25I don't know what to do.
00:31:27I don't know what to do.
00:31:29I don't know what to do.
00:31:32A leopard called to me from the darkness.
00:31:36Then I...
00:31:38I looked at my hands.
00:31:40A vivid imagination can play curious tricks on the eyes.
00:31:45I suppose it can.
00:31:47Come on out into the hall. I want you to meet Dorothy.
00:31:50No, I don't want to.
00:31:52Dorothy's reality. It's important for you to face up to reality.
00:31:55No.
00:31:56Now look, I'm talking to you as a psychiatrist,
00:31:58a doctor, and as a friend.
00:32:02Now come along and be sensible.
00:32:16Hello, honey.
00:32:19Hey, Nora, this is Dorothy.
00:32:21Hello.
00:32:28Well,
00:32:29that was charming.
00:32:31You see, the way she looked at me as if she wanted to claw my eyes out.
00:32:34She's a very disturbed girl.
00:32:36On the verge of a pretty severe psychosis.
00:32:39On the verge.
00:32:41I've got to help her.
00:32:44I'm sorry, honey. Come on, let's go home, huh?
00:32:52Hello.
00:32:53Good evening.
00:32:54Oh.
00:32:59Oh.
00:33:00Good evening.
00:33:02I'm sorry.
00:33:04I'm sorry.
00:33:06I'm sorry.
00:33:07I'm sorry.
00:33:08I'm sorry.
00:33:10I'm sorry.
00:33:12I'm sorry.
00:33:28Well, well, how's the little Brandeis?
00:33:31What can I play for her?
00:33:32Where's Richard?
00:33:37Where is Richard?
00:33:38Oh, goodness knows.
00:33:40Said something about going for a walk with Cathy.
00:33:44Or something.
00:34:31Did you hear that?
00:34:43What?
00:34:44I thought I heard that leopard again.
00:34:47Sure I did.
00:34:49Richard, there's somebody watching us.
00:35:00I can feel it.
00:35:05Oh, God.
00:35:19From tonight, it must pass on from my blood to yours.
00:35:31The love of darkness.
00:35:32The craving for warm, raw flesh and blood.
00:35:35It is my legacy to you.
00:35:37I'm sorry to insist on these questions in the tragic circumstances.
00:35:50I'd like to offer my deepest sympathy on your husband's death.
00:35:54Why should you? I killed him.
00:35:56I think you'll agree that only a wild animal could have torn a man to pieces like that.
00:36:00It was that leopard again, no question of it.
00:36:02Arrest me, do you hear? Stop it happening again.
00:36:05I know you're a little overwrought, but I want you to understand that this young lady here
00:36:09saw the animal jump from a tree and attack your husband.
00:36:12She saw it with her own eyes.
00:36:15I would have torn her to pieces, too.
00:36:18Our doctor is on his way. He'll give you something for your nerves.
00:36:22He'll understand.
00:36:25I must make him believe me. I must.
00:36:28Will you please take me away from this madhouse?
00:36:31There's not likely to be a train at this hour.
00:36:33You'd better wait until daylight. I wouldn't go outside with that animal on the loose.
00:36:37Why not take Richard's car? No use leaving it orphaned, is there?
00:36:40Leonora won't want it, will you?
00:36:41Take it and go.
00:36:43I'll go out and pack.
00:36:49I'm sorry, Leonora, but he did force me to go for a walk.
00:36:53You know how persuasive Richard can be.
00:36:56I'll try.
00:36:58Leonora!
00:36:59Leonora, what are you doing?
00:37:00Doctor!
00:37:01Leonora!
00:37:03Now hurry up and get packed and get away from here.
00:37:05You too, sir, if you please.
00:37:15Dr. Mahler's car.
00:37:16Thank goodness for that.
00:37:18Now calm yourself, please.
00:37:28Leonora.
00:37:32I'm going to take you to London tomorrow.
00:37:35I'd like you to agree to a period of confinement in a sanitarium.
00:37:43Why didn't you say a lunatic asylum?
00:37:45Because you're not impurely insane.
00:37:47You're just a little run down, that's all.
00:37:49You won't have to stay there long.
00:37:51All right.
00:37:52I'll do anything you say. I must get going.
00:37:54All right.
00:37:55I'll do anything you say.
00:37:56I must get rid of this horrible nightmare.
00:37:58Nightmare is the word. A sick delusion.
00:38:00And that's what we have to get rid of.
00:38:01Nothing more.
00:38:04That's right, isn't it?
00:38:06A delusion.
00:38:08Nothing more.
00:38:10I'll come for you tomorrow.
00:38:11Don't leave me.
00:38:13I'm afraid.
00:38:14I have so many awful fears.
00:38:16Start living them.
00:38:17Face up to them squarely and you'll see them for what they are.
00:38:20I'm in love with you, Brian.
00:38:21That's the only thing I'm really certain of.
00:38:23Look, Leonora, don't cling on to your memories.
00:38:25Get them out of your mind as well.
00:38:28I love you, Brian.
00:38:32I'll see you tomorrow, huh?
00:38:34Goodbye now.
00:38:46You must not go with him to London.
00:38:48He says he can help me.
00:38:49You are beyond help, my child.
00:38:51You are as your uncle was.
00:38:53And his father.
00:38:55Back to the beginning.
00:38:56No.
00:38:57You only say that because you're insane too, like he was.
00:39:00I'm going to London with Dr. Marlow.
00:39:02Go where you wish.
00:39:05The curse of the Brands will follow you to the grave.
00:39:08Get out!
00:39:09Go back to your room!
00:39:21Take your things off and put these on.
00:39:22The nurse will be long in bed.
00:39:31Come on.
00:39:52No.
00:39:55No.
00:39:58No.
00:40:21No.
00:40:51No.
00:41:22Oh.
00:41:23Had yourself quite a night, didn't you?
00:41:26Now do you believe me?
00:41:27Believe what?
00:41:31Look at me.
00:41:32My face.
00:41:33My hands.
00:41:34I'm looking.
00:41:37Tell me what you see.
00:41:39What do you see?
00:41:41What do you see?
00:41:43What do you see?
00:41:45What do you see?
00:41:47What do you see?
00:41:48What do you see?
00:41:49What do you see?
00:41:50What do you see?
00:41:51It's all right because I know.
00:41:53I've seen.
00:41:55Suppose you take a look in the mirror and tell me what it is I fail to see.
00:42:09Thank you, nurse.
00:42:10Leave everything now.
00:42:11Wait in the car.
00:42:12Don't phone me, please.
00:42:17Last night I...
00:42:19I heard it calling to me again.
00:42:21Try to get out of this room.
00:42:23Try to break down those bars.
00:42:25I was a wild animal.
00:42:26My face.
00:42:27My hands.
00:42:28My whole body.
00:42:31Don't believe me, do you?
00:42:39Brian.
00:42:40Could a human being have done all this?
00:42:43A normal woman.
00:42:44I believe the stair person could have.
00:42:46Did in fact.
00:42:49Last night I was an animal.
00:42:51I was an animal.
00:42:52An animal.
00:42:53I was an animal.
00:42:54Hey, relax.
00:42:57Come on over here and sit down.
00:43:06Now listen to me.
00:43:08I know you well enough to bypass some formalities of psychiatric procedure.
00:43:12I want to take a shortcut.
00:43:14Okay.
00:43:15Now let's look at the facts together.
00:43:17Calmly.
00:43:18You and I.
00:43:20Your medical examination yesterday shows that you're in an abnormal state of mind.
00:43:24Your reflexes, your heartbeat, your pulse.
00:43:27I'm perfectly rational.
00:43:28I swear.
00:43:29All right.
00:43:30You're perfectly rational.
00:43:32Now tell me again.
00:43:33What happened last night?
00:43:35I told you.
00:43:36I became a leopard.
00:43:37I tore up the bedclothes.
00:43:38I wrecked the room.
00:43:39If anyone had come in here, I tore them to ribbons.
00:43:41And this is the talk of a rational person?
00:43:47But I saw myself in the mirror.
00:43:51Your sick mind created an image for you.
00:44:00Then how do you explain the leopard?
00:44:02I want it to come to me and it does.
00:44:04It's close to me all the time.
00:44:06I can hear it.
00:44:09I want it to come to you now.
00:44:18We...
00:44:21It only comes at night.
00:44:22All right, fine.
00:44:24I'll come back tonight and you can call it to your ear.
00:44:32Then will you believe me?
00:44:34We'll see.
00:44:48Take me in your arms, Brian.
00:44:50I seem to lose all my fears when I'm in your arms.
00:44:53I feel safe.
00:44:57Lee.
00:44:59If you're going to make a personal relationship out of this,
00:45:02I can't help you.
00:45:05I'm sorry.
00:45:08I won't bother you anymore.
00:45:17Nurse.
00:45:47I'm sorry.
00:45:48I'm sorry.
00:46:16Let's have a drink.
00:46:17No, no light.
00:46:19All right, no light.
00:46:21It's time for a little demonstration.
00:46:23Go ahead.
00:46:25It's out there now.
00:46:27Ask it to show itself.
00:46:29It'll mean the loss of a human life.
00:46:32You realize that, don't you?
00:46:33It's hungry for blood.
00:46:35You'll be responsible for death just as much as I shall be.
00:46:38Make it come to the window there, Nora.
00:46:40Go on, call it.
00:46:48Kill.
00:46:50Kill!
00:46:51Kill!
00:46:57Who's that?
00:47:03My eyes!
00:47:05What's the matter?
00:47:07The light, it's blinding me!
00:47:09What light? There isn't any light.
00:47:13Honey.
00:47:15Straight eyes, but...
00:47:18But...
00:47:26Your friend isn't very punctual, is he?
00:47:31It was the light.
00:47:33We can't stand the light.
00:47:36You're trying to rationalize an impossibility.
00:47:39It won't do.
00:47:41It's true.
00:47:42It's out there now.
00:47:44It's part of myself.
00:47:45Prove it.
00:47:48Look at me.
00:47:55My hands are like the claws of an animal.
00:47:57Are they? Let me see.
00:47:58No.
00:47:59Show me your hands.
00:48:00No!
00:48:01I want to see your hands!
00:48:02No!
00:48:04Are you satisfied?
00:48:06I am.
00:48:08Are you?
00:48:09Look at them.
00:48:17But...
00:48:19A moment ago,
00:48:20when I was speaking to you,
00:48:23I swear...
00:48:24Why aren't they now?
00:48:25It always happens when you're alone, doesn't it?
00:48:27Yes.
00:48:28You saw your hands turn into claws because you wanted to.
00:48:31Perhaps you're right.
00:48:34These are human hands.
00:48:36Pretty hands, nothing more.
00:48:39They always have been, they always will be.
00:48:42Shock forced you into this state,
00:48:43and shock forced you out of it like a victim of amnesia.
00:48:47Lee,
00:48:48I'm going to take you out of here for a couple of days.
00:48:50Have you mix with normal people.
00:48:53Is it safe?
00:48:54I'll take that chance.
00:48:56Tomorrow, I suggest you spend the day with Dorothy.
00:48:58Shopping, lunch, maybe a movie.
00:49:01Then in the evening, we'll all have dinner together.
00:49:04Whatever you say, Brian, you're the doctor.
00:49:08You get your things together,
00:49:09I'll make arrangements to have you move out of here into a hotel.
00:49:12And I'll have Dorothy go for you tomorrow.
00:49:14Goodbye for now.
00:49:17Goodbye.
00:49:48PICK HER UP AT THE HOTEL BEFORE LUNCH
00:49:50She'll be ready.
00:49:52I really am dreading it, Brian.
00:49:53I can't help it.
00:49:54Oh, nonsense.
00:49:55She's over the worst now.
00:49:58Just the same, I'd like you to watch her reactions carefully.
00:50:00Note everything she says and does.
00:50:09I'm sorry, Brian.
00:50:10I'm sorry.
00:50:12I'm sorry.
00:50:13I'm sorry.
00:50:14I'm sorry.
00:50:15I'm sorry.
00:50:17The canary observing the cat.
00:50:20You'll be among crowds all day.
00:50:22Take taxis, keep to the main streets.
00:50:25I'll be home around 8.30.
00:50:28I'm still terribly afraid of her, Brian.
00:50:31Oh, come on, honey.
00:50:32Help me out just this once, huh?
00:50:34If you didn't know, I would.
00:50:35That's my good girl.
00:50:39Bye for now.
00:50:46I love you.
00:50:54This rain's a nuisance.
00:50:55We'll never get a taxi.
00:50:58I love velvet, don't you?
00:51:01When I die, I want to be wrapped in velvet.
00:51:04What a charming thought.
00:51:06Have some tea.
00:51:08Velvet makes me want to curl up and go to sleep.
00:51:11Just like...
00:51:16We'd better get home.
00:51:17It's getting late.
00:51:18Hurry up and...
00:51:22What's the matter, Dorothy?
00:51:25Nothing.
00:51:46What's up?
00:52:04Why the dark?
00:52:06Fear Patton set me up for it.
00:52:16What's the matter? Is it broken?
00:52:24Thanks. I don't know about you, but I can do with a stiff whiskey.
00:52:27I'm chilled to the marrow.
00:52:32Oh, dear.
00:52:34I asked Brian to get some soda. I expect he forgot.
00:52:38Oh, well, I'll go downstairs and borrow some from the Bennetts.
00:52:40I shan't be long.
00:52:46Hello?
00:53:03Hello?
00:53:04Is that you, Leonora?
00:53:06Yes.
00:53:07How are things?
00:53:08Fine, thanks.
00:53:10How'd the day go?
00:53:11Very well.
00:53:13No bad moments?
00:53:14Not one.
00:53:15Fine, just fine.
00:53:17Looks like we're on the right track.
00:53:19Yes, doctor.
00:53:21Dorothy there?
00:53:22No, she went downstairs to get some soda.
00:53:25Darn, I forgot that.
00:53:27Listen, looks like I'm going to be held up here longer than I thought.
00:53:31I suggest you two meet me for dinner somewhere out here, say around 10 o'clock?
00:53:36Where are you?
00:53:37Way down in the east end, near the docks.
00:53:41We can eat at the Riverview Grill. It's a little tavern on the waterfront.
00:53:44Dorothy knows where it is.
00:53:46I'll tell her.
00:53:48Fine. Meet me there at 10 o'clock, okay?
00:53:51Okay.
00:53:52Goodbye.
00:53:53Bye.
00:54:15By the way, Brian called.
00:54:17He's left the hospital. He wants us to meet him.
00:54:19Where?
00:54:21The corner of Denmark Street, off the commercial road.
00:54:2410 o'clock.
00:54:26He's going to take us to a little riverside restaurant.
00:54:28Right out there?
00:54:30It's in the heart of the London docks.
00:54:32I'll be there.
00:54:33I'll be there.
00:54:34I'll be there.
00:54:35I'll be there.
00:54:36I'll be there.
00:54:37I'll be there.
00:54:38I'll be there.
00:54:39I'll be there.
00:54:40I'll be there.
00:54:41I'll be there.
00:54:42I'll be there.
00:54:43London docks.
00:54:44I don't feel like that.
00:54:46Neither do I.
00:54:48Why don't we stay here and talk? You can telephone him in a moment.
00:54:51We don't know where he is.
00:54:53No, we don't, do we?
00:55:05I think perhaps I will go after all.
00:55:08Since staying here cooped up with my nerves.
00:55:10Why don't you stay here in the warm?
00:55:12Brian and I won't be long.
00:55:13Just a quiet dinner and then home.
00:55:16Yes.
00:55:18Yes, I think I'd let you go by yourself.
00:55:22That's sensible.
00:55:24Well, I better be off.
00:55:27I'll never get a taxi in this rain.
00:55:28I wish Brian hadn't taken the car.
00:55:30Why don't you take a bus?
00:55:33Yes.
00:55:34Perhaps I will.
00:55:36You'd better hurry up.
00:55:37Your husband will be breaking his heart wondering where you are.
00:55:43Hello, telephone answering service.
00:55:45Oh, this is Mrs. Marlowe.
00:55:47If Dr. Marlowe calls, will you tell him that I got his message
00:55:50and I'll meet him at the corner of Denmark Street and Commercial Road as he suggested?
00:55:54Yes.
00:55:55Yes, thank you.
00:56:00I'm sorry you won't come.
00:56:03Aye.
00:56:12Aye.
00:56:28Hey, look at that.
00:56:29Must have got away from the zoo somewhere.
00:56:31Come on.
00:56:32Let's report it to the police.
00:56:38There you are, madam.
00:56:41Denmark Street, a second on your left.
00:56:42A couple of minutes' walk.
00:56:44Let's hope he doesn't keep you waiting too long.
00:56:46Rough neighbours around here, you know.
00:57:12Hello, Able Charlie, all cars.
00:57:25Escape Leopard reported heading down eastern near Dock Road.
00:57:28All cars in the area alerted.
00:57:30All all pedestrians out.
00:57:42Turn around.
00:57:43Look sharp.
00:58:12What time do you make it?
00:58:15Just gone 10.15, sir.
00:58:18There's a phone in there.
00:58:19There's a call box just inside the door on your right, sir.
00:58:21Thanks a lot.
00:58:30Leonora, what are you doing here?
00:58:32I decided to come after all.
00:58:35I hope you don't mind.
00:58:43I went inside to keep all the doors closed and warm
00:58:45and there's a leopard got loose.
00:58:46A leopard?
00:58:47We just sighted him in Denmark Street
00:58:48but lost him again.
00:58:49Keep your eyes open, will you?
00:58:50Aye.
00:58:53Hello, Message Answering Service.
00:58:55Dr. Marlowe here.
00:58:56Has my wife phoned by any chance?
00:58:59No, sir.
00:59:01Dr. Marlowe here.
00:59:02Has my wife phoned by any chance?
00:59:06Where?
00:59:07Corner of Denmark Street.
00:59:11He's late.
00:59:12Are you sure you got the message right?
00:59:14Quite sure.
00:59:19Why do you hate me so much?
00:59:22Isn't it obvious?
00:59:23Brian?
00:59:24I'm in love with him.
00:59:26But you married another man.
00:59:28I was lonely and frightened.
00:59:31It was me, you know that, don't you?
00:59:33Yes.
00:59:35Until death parts you.
00:59:38Why do you say that?
00:59:44I don't think I'll wait.
00:59:45I shall.
00:59:46What shall I tell him?
00:59:48Tell him I've gone home.
00:59:57How do I get to the corner of Denmark Street and Commercial Road?
00:59:59You say Denmark Street?
01:00:00You better be careful how you go, sir.
01:00:01That's where they just spotted the leopard.
01:00:03The police have been here, you know,
01:00:04and they say he's still prowling around there somewhere.
01:00:06Leopard?
01:00:07How do I get there?
01:00:08Third turning left past Temple Street.
01:00:10You ought to have a gun, sir, if I get a shot at it.
01:01:00Thanks.
01:01:30Is that you?
01:01:31Is that you?
01:01:32Is that you?
01:01:33Is that you?
01:01:34Is that you?
01:01:35Is that you?
01:01:36Is that you?
01:01:37Is that you?
01:01:38Is that you?
01:01:39Is that you?
01:01:40Is that you?
01:01:41Is that you?
01:01:42Is that you?
01:01:43Is that you?
01:01:44Is that you?
01:01:45Is that you?
01:01:46Is that you?
01:01:47Is that you?
01:01:48Is that you?
01:01:49Is that you?
01:01:50Is that you?
01:01:51Is that you?
01:01:52Is that you?
01:01:53Is that you?
01:01:54Is that you?
01:01:55Is that you?
01:01:56Is that you?
01:01:57Is that you?
01:01:58Is that you?
01:01:59Is that you, Leonor?
01:02:02Leonor!
01:02:16Kill.
01:02:18Kill!
01:02:30Kill!
01:02:42Oh, brother.
01:02:45It was Leonora.
01:02:47She tried to kill me.
01:02:50She's gone completely savage.
01:02:52I know.
01:02:54But you're all right now.
01:02:56She'll have to be put away again.
01:02:58Doctor, can you come here a minute?
01:03:02What is it?
01:03:26She appears to have been run over by a car, but it wasn't ours.
01:03:30It wasn't mine either.
01:03:32I hit the lever, that's all.
01:03:34There wasn't another car about.
01:03:36Are you quite certain you didn't feel two bumps?
01:03:38What are you getting at?
01:03:40I didn't hit her. I'd know if I had.
01:03:43Will you come with me, sir?
01:03:55Well, it's a piece of her ring hood, all right.
01:03:57But my car never touched her.
01:03:59Then how do you account for it, Doctor?
01:04:03If I try to explain it now, you'd probably detain me for observation.
01:04:08Let's just say it's something to do with the conquest of mind over matter.
01:04:13We'll leave it at that, huh?
01:04:16Would you mind leaving your car here, sir?
01:04:18We'll have it cleaned and returned to you later.
01:04:20Wilson.
01:04:21Yes, sir.
01:04:22Drive this lady and gentleman home.
01:04:23Very good, sir.
01:04:25Darling, you're going home in a Scotland Yard patrol car.
01:04:28There's nothing to worry about now.
01:04:37You must die out.
01:04:39Only then will this abomination cease.
01:04:41Do as you wish.
01:04:44The curse of the friends will follow you to the grave.
01:04:47Brian!
01:04:49Brian!
01:04:51Sleep.
01:04:53Sleep.
01:04:55Sleep.
