00:02:31The preparations are thus completed. Let our work begin.
00:02:37Bring to me the vessel of reversal.
00:02:42My child, lay you down upon this altar.
00:02:45Thus we begin, and in reunion will we end.
00:03:04By this token, we, the portals of the unhallowed plain, have torn apart and thrown aside.
00:03:15The fire of torment is ablaze. The heat is scorching. The life is coming back.
00:03:25O great guardian on your throne of gold, I bid you stand back and let her return to us in all her glory.
00:03:34I thee invoke, O Prince of Light and Darkness, at the dying of the flames.
00:03:49Enter into the body of this lowly vessel, that she may be made worthy to receive the soul of thy most illustrious daughter.
00:04:02Return to us.
00:04:04Return to us.
00:04:07We await you, O beloved of the old faith.
00:04:12Seek out this vessel, seek out this vessel we offer you. Seek her out and return.
00:04:20This is my will, and my will shall be obeyed.
00:04:26Now, go back to us.
00:04:27Oh!
00:04:28Oh!
00:04:30Oh!
00:04:37Hey!
00:04:40Might as well finish it off.
00:04:42Finish me off, you mean?
00:04:47Don't look at me like that.
00:04:49I know you're trying to get me drunk.
00:04:54Now, why would I want to do that?
00:04:56For the same reason you lured me to your country retreat in the first place.
00:05:01I just thought you might enjoy it.
00:05:03Just between you and me?
00:05:05I have.
00:05:08All these old things.
00:05:11There's nothing like this back home.
00:05:13At least not where I come from.
00:05:16My folks would go crazy for all.
00:05:20I did it again, didn't I?
00:05:23Why do l have to keep mentioning them?
00:05:29You must miss them, l suppose.
00:05:30But l don't. l wanted to get away from them.
00:05:33That's why l came to England, to get away.
00:05:36l just wanted to pack my things and leave without telling anyone where l was going.
00:05:40And now you're here.
00:05:44l guess the novelty must be wearing off.
00:05:47l suppose l'll have to go back some time.
00:05:58You don't have to go.
00:06:04Hey, l didn't realise it was so late.
00:06:07I dare say we could find you somewhere to sleep.
00:06:12Oh, you dare say, dare you.
00:06:14Well, l dare say l'd be very grateful.
00:06:37αΊ‘i
00:06:43tait pray.
00:06:47That's windows.
00:06:48I meant you don't have to be in there.
00:06:49But IοΏ½,yrine,
00:06:51here's where I vou.
00:06:56Good night.
00:07:02Okay.
00:07:05Are you stuck out here?
00:07:07I don't.
00:07:09And this reserve strikes again.
00:07:17Ooh, that line.
00:07:35Oh, my God.
00:07:55Oh, my God.
00:08:01Oh, my God.
00:08:23Oh, my God.
00:08:25Oh, my God.
00:08:27Oh, my God.
00:08:29Oh, my God.
00:08:59Oh, my God.
00:09:29Oh, my God.
00:09:59Oh, my God.
00:10:29Oh, my God.
00:10:59Oh, my God.
00:11:29Oh, my God.
00:11:59Oh, my God.
00:12:28Oh, my God.
00:12:58Oh, my God.
00:13:28It's not 200 miles.
00:13:30It's no more than 60.
00:13:32And how do you know I'll be bored out of my mind?
00:13:35Well, spending a week with an uncle you've never even met.
00:13:38It's got to be a bore.
00:13:40Why?
00:13:41Why?
00:13:42I happen to like meeting new people, just because you're content to lie around in bed all day.
00:13:48All right, you've made your point.
00:13:50So, I know why you're going.
00:13:53You've been hearing those voices again, haven't you?
00:13:55They're not voices, they're not voices, I wish I'd never told you about them.
00:14:06Lobo rubbish, anyway.
00:14:07Well, I don't think so.
00:14:08Well, I don't think so.
00:14:20Well, I don't think so.
00:14:21But I don't expect you to understand.
00:14:22I've decided to go.
00:14:23I suppose you realise you'll be away for your birthday.
00:14:29Yes.
00:14:30Why?
00:14:31Oh, nothing.
00:14:32I was going to take you out for a meal, that's all, it doesn't matter.
00:14:39Oh, John, I'm sorry.
00:14:40Let's leave it until I get back.
00:14:42I might survive that long.
00:14:47It's only a week.
00:14:49I've got to get back to start my new job anyway.
00:14:54Well, just a minute.
00:14:55I've got something for you.
00:14:57Here.
00:14:58Happy birthday.
00:14:59Sorry I didn't have time to wrap it.
00:15:00Oh, John, it's beautiful.
00:15:01Where's my mother's?
00:15:02It's lovely.
00:15:03But I can't.
00:15:04Yes, you can.
00:15:05There.
00:15:07I've got to go.
00:15:10Where's my mother's?
00:15:12It's lovely, but I can't.
00:15:14Yes, you can.
00:15:18There.
00:15:23I've got to go.
00:15:27Aren't you going to thank me properly?
00:15:34Hello.
00:15:35Hello.
00:15:36Sorry I'm late.
00:15:37We thought you might have changed your mind about coming with us.
00:15:39I couldn't catch your buzz.
00:15:42Hello, Mum.
00:15:43Oh, there you are.
00:15:45They might have told us you were going to stay out all night.
00:15:47Forgot. Sorry.
00:15:48It's not as if we knew where you were.
00:15:50We had a pretty shrewd idea, but...
00:15:53Look.
00:15:54Oh, Catherine.
00:15:56It's lovely.
00:15:57It's my birthday present from John.
00:15:59Look, Malcolm. Isn't it lovely?
00:16:02Very nice.
00:16:04That must have set him back a bob or two.
00:16:07Actually, it was his mother's.
00:16:08Oh, isn't that sweet.
00:16:10He must think a lot of you.
00:16:11I think he does.
00:16:12I'd better go and get changed.
00:16:14He'll have to let us meet him sometime.
00:16:16I do hope the weather holds out for us this week.
00:16:28I'd hate to be snowbound in the country.
00:16:31I don't think there's much chance of that.
00:16:33Anyway, we may not stay a week.
00:16:35Why shouldn't we stay?
00:16:37Oh, I don't know.
00:16:38It's just that...
00:16:39Well, you might not get on with Alexander.
00:16:42Or I might not get on with Alexander.
00:16:44We haven't seen each other since we were kids, remember?
00:16:47I didn't even know you had a brother.
00:16:49I'm not surprised.
00:16:51Quite honestly, I think he's got a bit of a cheek.
00:16:54I mean, demanding that we go and stay with him after all this time.
00:16:57He doesn't demand.
00:16:59Well, you know what I mean?
00:17:01He's probably lonely, that's all.
00:17:03Why should he be lonely?
00:17:04Well, I told you, his wife died.
00:17:06Good night.
00:17:36I didn't know it was this remote.
00:17:43Here, let me see the map.
00:17:50Well, it must be down one of these roads.
00:17:54Let's try the left-hand one.
00:18:06That could be it up ahead.
00:18:23What is it, Mal?
00:18:24I don't know.
00:18:26Oh, my God, look out!
00:18:28Oh, no!
00:18:36Mum?
00:18:40Reggie.
00:18:42She's all right, isn't she?
00:18:44Yes.
00:18:45She'll be all right.
00:18:47How about you?
00:18:49I'm fine.
00:18:50Just a few bruises, I think.
00:18:52I'd better get some help.
00:18:53No.
00:18:54You stay here with Mum.
00:18:56I'll go.
00:18:59Tell them to get an ambulance.
00:19:06Come away.
00:19:22Let me go!
00:19:23Alexander, come and help me out.
00:19:24Go home!
00:19:25Let me go!
00:19:30She was a bad extinguisher.
00:19:33Tell them I've got to.
00:19:36Feeling a little better?
00:19:53Yes, thank you.
00:19:55Good.
00:19:56These tablets are only sedatives.
00:19:58They're quite harmless, but they will make you sleep.
00:20:03Is the room ready?
00:20:05Yes.
00:20:05Good.
00:20:12Well done.
00:20:14Come along, young lady.
00:20:17Up you get.
00:20:19And off you go to bed.
00:20:21I'll be along in a moment, and make sure you're comfortable.
00:20:27What is it, Stephen?
00:20:30There was nothing I could do.
00:20:31I'm terribly sorry.
00:20:35You must phone the police.
00:20:41Off to sleep, my dear.
00:20:43We'll look after you.
00:20:44There we are.
00:20:53There we are.
00:20:57Who are you?
00:21:09I'm Frances, your uncle's secretary.
00:21:12Yes, thank you.
00:21:13I'm...
00:21:14I'll be there.
00:21:14There we are.
00:21:15Thanks, dear.
00:21:15I'll be there.
00:21:26Comfortable?
00:21:26Yes, thank you.
00:21:27You must sleep.
00:21:29plenty of rest is what I prescribe did Malcolm did your father ever tell you
00:21:36that I was a doctor it's at moments like this that I'm glad that I sleep now

00:23:58you
00:23:59that's
00:24:10you
00:24:12you
00:24:13you
00:24:13you
00:24:15you
00:24:49I've brought you your breakfast.
00:25:19I thought you were.
00:25:21You've been dreaming.
00:25:26Don't upset yourself.
00:25:28I'll fetch your uncle.
00:25:38Alexander.
00:25:47What is it, Catherine?
00:25:48Are you all right?
00:25:49She had a dream.
00:25:50She thought I was...
00:25:51Thank you, Francis.
00:25:52That will be all.
00:25:58It's inevitable that you should be suffering from shock.
00:26:01And shock can affect you in many ways.
00:26:03You understand that, don't you, my dear?
00:26:07There's no instant cure.
00:26:10It'd be very wrong for me to suggest that there was.
00:26:13But time heals.
00:26:15Believe me, that's true.
00:26:17So I want you to stay here for as long as you need to.
00:26:22And look on me, not only as your uncle, but as your friend and your doctor who wants to help you all he can.
00:26:31There's no reason for you to rush back to London, is there?
00:26:35No, I don't think so.
00:26:37Good.
00:26:38Then we'll have plenty of time to get to know each other.
00:26:41I'll be downstairs when you're ready to get up.
00:27:11I don't think so.
00:27:13Everything seems so unreal.
00:27:17Like a dream.
00:27:20That's what everybody says, isn't it?
00:27:24But it's just that I can't accept the truth.
00:27:28I can't accept the fact that I saw the car blow up in front of my eyes.
00:27:35Why did it blow up?
00:27:37That sort of thing doesn't just happen.
00:27:39I, too, found it incredible.
00:27:43The police say that Malcolm, that your father must have left the ignition on.
00:27:48This ignited the petrol which exploded.
00:27:52But why else?
00:27:54Why did it have to happen to us?
00:27:56You echo my very thoughts when my wife died.
00:28:00Why us, I asked.
00:28:02She was so very young.
00:28:04But we are all mortal.
00:28:06We are all mortal.
00:28:09Catherine.
00:28:12I know this is a painful time for you, but the police would like to ask you a few questions.
00:28:16Oh, no.
00:28:18Never mind.
00:28:20We'll keep them waiting a few days.
00:28:22Yes, alright.
00:28:23Oh, one other thing, Catherine.
00:28:26We didn't see any reason for delaying the funeral, so we decided to hold the service in our own private burial ground this afternoon.
00:28:32You'd like to be there.
00:28:36Don't worry.
00:28:37I understand.
00:28:39Think about it.
00:28:41You've turned to think.
00:28:42I'm sorry.
00:28:43I didn't mean to startle you.
00:28:56I'm sorry.
00:29:04I didn't mean to startle you.
00:29:08It's all right. It's just that I didn't see you there.
00:29:12Nor did I. I mean, I hadn't realized you were up yet.
00:29:16I didn't feel like staying in bed any longer.
00:29:20There didn't seem to be any point.
00:29:22No, of course not.
00:29:26This is a beautiful house.
00:29:31You must be very rich.
00:29:34No, not really.
00:29:36At least not since father gave up the practice.
00:29:40How does he manage to keep up all this?
00:29:43Well, he gets money here and there.
00:29:46Friends.
00:29:48I don't really know.
00:29:50Wish I had friends like that.
00:29:56Would you like to have a look around the grounds?
00:29:59What now?
00:30:01I don't know.
00:30:04The air will do you good.
00:30:06I'm sure father would agree.
00:30:08Well, all right.
00:30:09But I haven't got a coat.
00:30:11Well, that's all right.
00:30:11Frances will lend you one of hers.
00:30:13I'll get it while you're dressing.
00:30:14What happened to the car?
00:30:33The police took it.
00:30:36Now, come along.
00:30:38You wanted to see the grounds.
00:30:39Yes.
00:30:39Yes.
00:30:39Yes.
00:30:39Yes.
00:30:40Yes.
00:30:40Yes.
00:30:40Yes.
00:30:40Yes.
00:30:40Yes.
00:30:41Yes.
00:30:41Yes.
00:30:41Yes.
00:30:41Yes.
00:30:42Yes.
00:30:42Yes.
00:30:43Yes.
00:30:43Yes.
00:30:44Yes.
00:30:44It's difficult to know what to say to relatives you never knew you had.
00:31:15Why?
00:31:17Well, I feel we know each other, and yet we don't, if you see what I mean.
00:31:23I know a lot about you.
00:31:25Do you?
00:31:25Yes.
00:31:26Yes.
00:31:26Yes, my father used to tell me all about you when we lived in Africa.
00:31:27Yes.
00:31:28We lived in Africa.
00:31:29He was always going on and on about his brother, and how he'd been given the daughter that my
00:31:37father should have had.
00:31:38He doesn't like me.
00:31:39He doesn't like me.
00:31:40He doesn't like me much, you see.
00:31:41He always wanted a daughter.
00:31:45But there was no chance of having any more children, so he got stuck with me.
00:31:51Because your mother died?
00:31:52Because your mother died?
00:31:53Yes.
00:31:54Your father said she was very young.
00:31:58She was 29.
00:32:00That's terrible.
00:32:01I am sorry.
00:32:02I didn't mean to...
00:32:03No, it's all right.
00:32:04It was a long time ago.
00:32:05Was it an accident?
00:32:06Yes, that's what it was.
00:32:07It was an accident.
00:32:12This is our enchanted forest.
00:32:26They wanted to sell it, but they couldn't.
00:32:31It's protected or something.
00:32:32Because of what happened here.
00:32:33What was that?
00:32:34Of course.
00:32:35You wouldn't know, would you?
00:32:36Some people are more sensitive to their surroundings than others, aren't they?
00:32:51Are they?
00:32:52Yes.
00:32:53It's hereditary.
00:32:54An ability to pick up certain vibrations.
00:32:59I sometimes have premonitions.
00:33:04Do they come true?
00:33:07What's the matter?
00:33:12Nothing.
00:33:14It's just that it's getting rather cold.
00:33:19I think I would like to go back now.
00:33:22Don't you want to know what happened here?
00:33:23No.
00:33:24Catherine.
00:33:25No.
00:33:26Catherine.
00:33:27No.
00:33:28No.
00:33:29Catherine.
00:33:30No.
00:33:31Catherine.
00:33:32No.
00:33:33No.
00:33:34Catherine.
00:33:35No.
00:33:36Catherine.
00:33:37No.
00:33:38No.
00:33:39No.
00:33:40No.
00:33:41No.
00:33:42No.
00:33:43No.
00:33:44No.
00:33:45No.
00:33:46No.
00:33:47No.
00:33:48No.
00:33:49No.
00:33:50No.
00:33:51No.
00:33:52No.
00:35:53Stephen?
00:35:57Stephen!
00:35:59Stephen?
00:36:01Stephen!
00:36:03Stephen!

00:37:01Stephen!
00:37:03Stephen!
00:37:04Stephen!
00:37:05I'm sorry I'm not with you.
00:37:07Why did you leave me on my own?
00:37:09I thought you were following me.
00:37:11But then I looked round and you come.
00:37:13No.
00:37:15You walked off and left me.
00:37:17But I didn't leave you, Catherine.
00:37:21You were cold.
00:37:23You wanted to come back to the house.
00:37:25Don't you remember?
00:37:31But I saw something.
00:37:35I saw the car explode.
00:37:39That was yesterday.
00:37:41No, today.
00:37:43Just now.
00:37:45No, Catherine.
00:37:47But I saw it, Stephen.
00:37:51Out there.
00:37:55But it wasn't my parents who were burning.
00:37:59It was me.
00:38:01Look, it's all right.
00:38:03You're probably still in shock.
00:38:05It sometimes happens like this.
00:38:07Father has explained it all to me.
00:38:09How...
00:38:11These things sometimes can...
00:38:13Play tricks on the mind.
00:38:15But it seems so real.
00:38:17And the voices.
00:38:19You must have heard them.
00:38:21You must have heard them.
00:38:23Just the wind.
00:38:27I've never been so frightened.
00:38:29For as much as it hath pleased almighty God to take unto himself the souls of our dear brother and sister, here departed, we therefore commit their bodies to the ground.
00:38:49Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, ensure uncertain hope of the resurrection to eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ.
00:38:59The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all, evermore.
00:39:09Amen.
00:39:39Amen.
00:39:41Amen.
00:39:42Amen.
00:39:51Amen.

00:41:23No, of course not.
00:41:27You wouldn't prefer to be alone?
00:41:28No, I'd like you to stay.
00:41:32No, I'd like you to stay.
00:41:33No, I'd like you to stay.
00:41:34No, I'd like you to stay.
00:41:35No, I'd like you to stay.
00:41:42No, I'd like you to stay.
00:41:43No, I'd like you to stay.
00:41:45I'd like you to stay.

00:51:42Moloch, Tifon, Satan.
00:52:12Moloch, Tifon, Satan.
00:52:42It's only wine.
00:52:45Here, let me.
00:52:49What's the matter, Catherine?
00:52:54What is it?
00:52:56I don't know.
00:52:57I felt so frightened.
00:52:59You're probably still upset.
00:53:02No, it's more than that.
00:53:04Please take me back.
00:53:25How are you feeling now?
00:53:27A little better.
00:53:28We'll soon be home.
00:53:42What the?
00:53:44What happened?
00:53:46Nothing's happened.
00:53:48Catherine just isn't feeling very well.
00:53:49Catherine, you're a skirt.
00:53:51Are you all right?
00:53:52I will be.
00:53:53It was an accident.
00:53:55I just want to rest.
00:53:57Yes, of course.
00:53:59I didn't do anything.
00:54:01It was an accident.
00:54:03Some wine got spilt.
00:54:05It wasn't Stephen's fault.
00:54:08He should not have allowed it to happen.
00:54:09I shall talk to you later, Stephen.
00:54:13Come.
00:54:14I'll take you to your room.
00:54:25You seem to be running a temperature.
00:54:27Why?
00:54:29I was only sitting in the car.
00:54:30Shock, my dear.
00:54:32What's happening to me?
00:54:34Nothing you need worry about.
00:54:35Here.
00:54:37Take these.
00:54:39What are they?
00:54:40It's only a sedative.
00:54:41Like the ones you had before.
00:54:43You're going to have another sound night's sleep.
00:54:47And then we'll start again from scratch tomorrow.
00:54:51But my skirt.
00:54:53I wanted to take it off.
00:54:54It's not important.
00:54:56But the wine.
00:54:57Francis will take care of it.
00:54:59Everything will be all right.
00:55:18Delirious.
00:55:20Becoming delirious.
00:55:21I want to take care of it.
00:55:51I want to take care of it.
00:56:21I want to take care of it.
00:58:23Catherine.
00:58:24Oh, thank God.
00:58:41It's all right. I'm here now.
00:58:49I heard you cry out.
00:58:50I've had a dream, a nightmare, but it seems so...
00:58:58Real.
00:58:59So many things have been playing on my mind.
00:59:07The accident, this house, the talk about witches.
00:59:13Your father keeps telling me. It's shock. I know, but...
00:59:17Oh, I don't know.
00:59:20We don't mean to frighten you.
00:59:23I know that.
00:59:25You're not frightened of me, are you?
00:59:28Not right now.
00:59:31That's good.
00:59:35I wouldn't like to think that I frightened you.
00:59:45I wouldn't like to think that I frightened you.
00:59:47I don't know.
00:59:49I don't know.
00:59:50I thought you, but...
00:59:53I don't know.
00:59:57I don't know.
00:59:58I don't know.
00:59:59I don't know.
01:01:30Catherine.
01:01:32Hello.
01:01:35You'll catch cold out here so early.
01:01:38No, I won't.
01:01:39I feel marvelous today.
01:01:42Any particular reason?
01:01:43Yes.
01:01:46There is a reason.
01:01:49Oh?
01:01:50And what might that be?
01:01:52You.
01:01:54Me?
01:01:55What have I done?
01:01:56You made me fall in love with you.
01:02:00You made me fall in love with you.
01:02:00I am not a man.
01:02:00You made me fall in love with you.
01:02:05I am not a man.
01:02:05I am not a man.
01:02:06I am not a man.
01:02:08I am not a man.
01:02:09I am not a man.
01:02:09I am not a man.
01:02:10The thing I admire most about you, Francis, is your ability to suffer in silence.
01:02:24Don't ever change.
01:02:25Is the pleasure of Stephen worth the pain?
01:02:33When can we go?
01:02:36I don't know.
01:02:37Soon.
01:02:38Well, it's rather difficult, you see.
01:02:41Why?
01:02:46Father.
01:02:48I don't want him to think I'm ungrateful.
01:02:51He's been so kind to me.
01:02:53You all have.
01:02:55But it's just that I'm better now.
01:02:57I know I am.
01:03:00And this house holds too many memories for me.
01:03:04I'm sure I'd feel happier if I went away.
01:03:11Yes, I do understand what you mean.
01:03:13And so will your father.
01:03:14I'm sure of it.
01:03:16Well, he may not have much feeling for me.
01:03:18But I'm the only family he's got.
01:03:20He won't mind you going away with me, will he?
01:03:23It's not as if he's never going to see you again.
01:03:26I shall have to ask him.
01:03:29I knew you would.
01:03:30Come on.
01:03:31I suppose I ought to phone John and let him know.
01:03:36It's only fair.
01:03:38Why don't you wait until London before you do that?
01:03:41I'm a coward.
01:03:41That's the trouble.
01:03:43There's a phone in the hall, isn't there?
01:03:45Yes.
01:03:46Well, she wants to leave.
01:04:11This wouldn't have happened if you'd followed my instructions.
01:04:18Well, what are we going to do?
01:04:20You've done enough already.
01:04:27Yes?
01:04:29Is John there, please?
01:04:31John's gone away for a few days, I'm afraid.
01:04:33Where to?
01:04:35Oh, it's insane.
01:04:37Um, I'm sorry.
01:04:40Who am I speaking to?
01:04:42Well, you'll be back again on Wednesday, if you'll have to try then.
01:04:45Yes, okay, I'll do that.
01:04:49Who shall I say called?
01:04:50Catherine.
01:04:52Catherine.
01:04:53Rightio, then.
01:04:54Bye, love.
01:04:54Another of my son's mistakes rectified.
01:05:03What other blunders have you made, Stephen?
01:05:06What else have we got to clear up after you?
01:05:09What else did he tell her?
01:05:14What did you say, Stephen?
01:05:17Come on, what did you say?
01:05:21I said we'd go our way together.
01:05:22I see.
01:05:24And did you mean it?
01:05:28No.
01:05:31Anyway, it doesn't matter, does it?
01:05:33Very soon you'll realize just how much it matters.
01:05:38Tomorrow is Catherine's birthday.
01:05:40We must complete the arrangements.
01:05:42Go and talk to her.
01:05:45Keep her out of harm's way.
01:05:54If you've ruined my plans, Stephen, I'll kill you.
01:06:05I can promise you that.
01:06:06I'm looking for my bracelet.
01:06:22I can't seem to find it anyway.
01:06:24You won't find it.
01:06:25Why?
01:06:27Do you know where it is?
01:06:28It's been taken.
01:06:30Taken?
01:06:32Who would want to take it?
01:06:33Come with me and I'll explain.
01:06:37Camilla York.
01:06:38She is to blame Catherine for everything.
01:06:44She is the reason you're being kept a prisoner in this house.
01:06:47A prisoner?
01:06:48I'd hardly call myself a prisoner.
01:06:50Oh, you may not realize it, but you are.
01:06:52And you have been ever since you came to this house.
01:06:57Have you ever heard of necromancy?
01:07:00Vaguely.
01:07:02The art of raising the dead.
01:07:03Alexander and Stephen have a very great interest in it.
01:07:06Who are they trying to raise?
01:07:09Camilla.
01:07:11You're crazy.
01:07:12Listen to what I have to say first and then laugh if you want to.
01:07:19Camilla was known to have incredible powers.
01:07:23And ever since he was a boy, Alexander has dreamt of bringing her back to life.
01:07:27Of using her powers for himself.
01:07:29And of making her high priestess of his covenant.
01:07:32His covenant?
01:07:34Yes.
01:07:35After many attempts, he discovered that the only satisfactory way to resurrect the dead
01:07:39is through the body of a direct descendant.
01:07:42You don't mean me.
01:07:45Catherine.
01:07:46You are a direct descendant of Camilla York.
01:07:50So confident of his knowledge, Alexander sacrificed the life of his own wife.
01:08:05But the experiment failed.
01:08:07So sure of success, he allowed Stephen, who was no more than a child, to watch the ceremony
01:08:18and the murder of his own mother.
01:08:21An experience which was to affect his mind for the rest of his life.
01:08:24But that's horrible.
01:08:52It can't be true.
01:08:54There is more proof, if you still don't believe me.
01:09:22Why have they been playing this trick with me?
01:09:33Why didn't they do something when I first arrived?
01:09:36They had to wait for the right time, your 20th birthday.
01:09:38That's tomorrow.
01:09:41That's why you must leave.
01:09:43We both must.
01:09:44The main road's not far from here and we can be miles away by morning.
01:09:48But why can't we leave now or phone the police?
01:09:51Oh, no one makes phone calls that Alexander doesn't know about.
01:09:55But I did to John.
01:09:57He didn't try to stop me.
01:09:59No, Catherine.
01:10:03John is dead.
01:10:06Alexander killed him.
01:10:08That's why he needed your bracelet, to reach John.
01:10:11But I spoke to somebody.
01:10:15Catherine.
01:10:16It was me.
01:10:20Oh, I am sorry.
01:10:21But I had to tell you this.
01:10:24We'll meet in the kitchen tonight, okay?
01:10:25Okay.
01:10:53You seem very interested in the time.
01:11:18No.
01:11:19It's just that I'm rather tired.
01:11:23I think I'll go up to Benton's.
01:11:31What a sensible girl.
01:11:33I can hardly keep my eyes open.
01:11:37Don't you want some dessert?
01:11:42Francis will bring you up some hot milk.
01:11:46Good night.
01:11:48Good night.
01:11:51Don't forget.
01:11:53Tomorrow is your special day.
01:11:57Good night.
01:11:59All right.
01:12:29You're supposed to be tired.
01:12:48I'm glad you're not.
01:12:50Please don't.
01:12:52What's wrong?
01:12:55I just don't want you to.
01:12:59I spoke to Father about our going away together.
01:13:06Don't you want to hear what he said?
01:13:08Tell me tomorrow.
01:13:09I don't understand you.
01:13:20At first you say you want to leave as soon as possible.
01:13:24And now you're not even interested.
01:13:26I am interested.
01:13:29It's just that I'm tired.
01:13:33You didn't seem tired when I came in.
01:13:37Has anything happened to make you change your mind?
01:13:39No.
01:13:41I just want to go to sleep.
01:13:45Do you really?
01:13:46Well, that's what I said.
01:13:49That's what I said.
01:13:49Stephen.
01:14:01Stephen!
01:14:09Stephen!
01:14:17Have you come to try and get round me?
01:14:21Well, you know me, Stephen, always ready to forgive and forget.
01:14:28You know I couldn't love anybody as much as I do you.
01:14:39I've had to take them.
01:14:43Stephen, he was blackmailing me.
01:14:45I wasn't going to show them to anybody.
01:14:47I wasn't going to tell anybody.
01:14:49Let me keep them, please.
01:15:09Stephen!
01:15:19Stephen, I was raped in the house!
01:15:23Stephen!
01:15:24Stephen!
01:15:25Stephen!
01:15:28Stephen, I was raped!
01:16:39Francis?
01:16:49Francis?
01:16:51Francis?
01:16:53Francis?
01:16:55Francis?
01:16:57Francis?
01:16:59Francis?
01:17:01Francis?
01:17:03Francis?
01:17:05Francis?
01:17:07Francis?
01:17:09Francis?
01:17:11Francis?
01:17:17Francis?
01:17:19Francis?
01:17:21Francis?
01:17:23Francis?
01:17:25Francis?
01:17:29Francis?
01:17:31Francis?
01:17:33Francis?
01:17:43Francis?
01:17:45Francis?
01:17:47Francis?
01:17:49Francis?
01:17:51Francis?
01:17:53Francis?
01:17:55Francis?
01:17:57Francis?
01:17:59Francis?
01:18:01Francis?
01:18:03Francis?
01:18:05Francis?
01:18:07Francis?
01:18:09Francis?
01:18:11Francis?
01:18:13Francis?
01:18:15Francis?
01:18:17Francis?
01:18:27Francis?
01:18:29Oh, my God.
01:19:29Oh, my God.
01:19:59You deserve to be told something about our sacred lady before you give your soul love for her.
01:20:13There's no need.
01:20:14Then we can proceed, the ritual burning.
01:20:19Take her.
01:20:21Stephen, Stephen, no, please.
01:20:25Bring her.
01:20:26Please.
01:20:27Stay here.
01:20:28No!
01:20:32No!
01:20:34Oh!
01:20:35Oh!
01:20:36Oh!
01:20:37Oh, my God.
01:21:07Oh, my God.
01:21:37Oh, my God.
01:22:07Oh, my God.
01:22:37Oh, my God.
01:23:07Oh, my God.
01:23:37What do you mean?
01:23:39You're not my father.
01:23:40He's dead.
01:23:41He's got to get you back in the house.
01:23:43No, he's dead.
01:23:44He was burnt alive.
01:23:45Let me go.
01:23:46Let me go.
01:23:47I'm sorry, but look at me.
01:23:52I am your father.
01:23:55God.
01:23:55Think. You know I am.
01:23:57I'm going mad.
01:23:59Catherine, listen to me.
01:24:01Do you know where you are?
01:24:04Yes. Uncle...
01:24:06Uncle Alexander's, that's right.
01:24:08He's trying to kill me.
01:24:10To kill you?
01:24:11Now, now, slowly now.
01:24:15Do you remember how we got here?
01:24:18Yes.
01:24:19By car. But it crashed.
01:24:22Yes.
01:24:23It burst into flames. You were burnt alive.
01:24:27Catherine, only you were injured.
01:24:29You hit your head.
01:24:31You were delirious. We took you into the house.
01:24:34And Uncle Alexander gave you a sedative.
01:24:36He's a doctor.
01:24:38I told you on the way here, remember?
01:24:42Yes. He is a doctor, isn't he?
01:24:44Now it's coming back, you see.
01:24:47I'm not sure. I just don't know.
01:24:50You've had a very long sleep.
01:24:53And you must have had a very bad dream.
01:24:56A dream?
01:24:58I can't believe it.
01:24:59It all seems so clear.
01:25:03The black magic.
01:25:06What do you mean, a very long sleep?
01:25:08It's true, you have.
01:25:11When did we arrive here?
01:25:12Yesterday afternoon.
01:25:15But I've been here...
01:25:16It seems as if I've been here for days.
01:25:19Let's go in and find out how you got into such a mess.
01:25:28People.
01:25:30They were chasing me.
01:25:32What people?
01:25:34Where?
01:25:34There.
01:25:36Let's go in and find your mother.
01:25:38Good God.
01:26:06She must have been sleepwalked.
01:26:08Look at the state you're in.
01:26:10Exactly.
01:26:11My poor child, come to the fire.
01:26:13You must be frozen.
01:26:14I've only been out to the house half an hour.
01:26:16You should have been sleeping soundly.
01:26:18If only I'd known.
01:26:21Where's Elizabeth?
01:26:22Upstairs, I think.
01:26:24Be sure I can't get you something.
01:26:26A hot drink, brandy.
01:26:27No, thank you.
01:26:29Are you all right now?
01:26:36I go and fetch your mother.
01:26:37I won't be long.
01:26:38You'll be all right here, won't you?
01:26:40Yes.
01:26:43You sure?
01:26:45You're absolutely sure?
01:26:48Well then, what happened?
01:26:51I was running.
01:26:54I must have run through the woods.
01:26:57I don't know why.
01:27:01I'm sorry.
01:27:02I'm not very clear at the moment.
01:27:04I'm not surprised.
01:27:05You've had a rather powerful drug inside you.
01:27:08It induces a very deep sleep indeed.
01:27:11Two small tablets.
01:27:13Did you give them to me?
01:27:15Yes.
01:27:16I remember that.
01:27:19I think it's beginning to come back.
01:27:22You see, I've had an extraordinary dream.
01:27:28It was about you.
01:27:30And this house.
01:27:32Tell me about it.
01:27:34No, it's too silly to repeat.
01:27:37What happened to my father?
01:27:40He's going to fetch your mother.
01:27:43I'm afraid he'll want you all to leave.
01:27:45He's very upset.
01:27:47I think I'd like to leave.
01:27:49I'm sorry.
01:27:50That must sound terrible.
01:27:52It's just that I was convinced I'd never go home again.
01:27:55And now you'd like to go and make sure that it's still there?
01:27:58Yes.
01:28:00Actually, I think it's my boyfriend I miss most.
01:28:03I'd like to reassure myself that he's still there.
01:28:06I understand.
01:28:08Why don't you telephone him and let him know you're coming back?
01:28:11May I?
01:28:12Of course.
01:28:14Use the phone over there.
01:28:16Behind the curtain.
01:28:20Here?
01:28:21Yes.
01:28:22Yes.
01:28:32Vicious, isn't it?
01:28:34Right through the eye and into the brain.
01:28:39Good heavens.
01:28:40You must have a streak of Camilla in you.
01:28:42You must have a streak of Camilla in you.
01:28:43You must have a streak of Camilla in you.
01:28:47Here we are.
01:28:48Here you are.
01:28:49Here we are.
01:28:50Here you are.
01:28:51Here you go.
01:28:52Who are you?
01:28:53How?
01:28:54Here you are.
01:28:55Here you are.
01:28:56Here you are.
01:28:57Yes.
01:28:58THE END
01:29:28THE END
