00:00:30Let's go.

00:01:00Grandmother, come closer.

00:01:29Take this to your village and tell the people

00:01:48the day of their deliverance is at hand.

00:01:52Make way for Prince Traspero!

00:02:18Get back there!

00:03:04I gather about me the nobles of the countryside.

00:03:07And you'll throw us the scraps from your table as if we were dogs.

00:03:10Exactly.

00:03:12But these dogs have a loud bark and show their teeth.

00:03:16Why?

00:03:16An old woman met a holy man on the hill.

00:03:20He made a prophecy.

00:03:22He said the day of our deliverance was at hand.

00:03:26From your tyranny.

00:03:27Well, then, shouldn't you be on your knees to give thanks?

00:03:32Yes.

00:03:40God rob them.

00:03:46No, I beg of you!

00:03:47Mercy, mercy!

00:03:49Mercy in the name...

00:03:50The girl was addressing me.

00:03:55What is your name?

00:03:59Francesca.

00:04:00What do you want of me, Francesca?

00:04:02Forgive them!

00:04:03Forgive them!

00:04:04That is not possible.

00:04:07They have defied me.

00:04:09If my hound bites my hand after I have fed and caressed him,

00:04:13should I allow him to go undisciplined?

00:04:16Forgive them!

00:04:17I beg of you!

00:04:19How innocent you are!

00:04:23However, I am disposed to temper justice with mercy.

00:04:28So I will leave it up to you, Francesca.

00:04:34One must die.

00:04:40Which one?

00:04:48One is my father.

00:04:52The other, the man I love.

00:04:58You promised me entertainment.

00:05:01But I never hoped for this.

00:05:02Can such eyes ever have known sin?

00:05:07They will, Alfredo.

00:05:09They will.

00:05:11However, this is not for your entertainment.

00:05:14Even so, Francesca, you must choose.

00:05:17One will live.

00:05:18One will die.

00:05:20Or both will die.

00:05:21No!

00:05:23Silence that!

00:05:27Now choose, Francesca, which will die.

00:05:30Choose.

00:05:31I'll take care of everything myself.

00:05:42Well, what is it?

00:05:43Look, sir.

00:05:44Look.

00:05:44Come on.

00:05:58A red death.

00:06:01That old woman was told the prophecy.

00:06:12Yes.

00:06:12Did you touch her?

00:06:14No.

00:06:15Or you, or you?

00:06:19Take them to the castle.

00:06:20I'll take the girl.

00:06:21No!

00:06:21And they provide us with some entertainment after all.

00:06:24To your horses, friend.

00:06:29Burn the village to the ground.

00:06:32Why'd you burn their homes?

00:06:34Winter comes.

00:06:35This is your day of deliverance, remember.

00:06:43Hurry up!

00:06:48Come on, there!

00:06:48Come on, hurry up!

00:06:49Come on, quick!

00:06:51Come on out there!

00:06:55Keep moving here!

00:06:55Quickly, come on!

00:06:56Come on!

00:07:03horse!

00:07:05Get out of my car!

00:07:13Ow!

00:07:14Ow!

00:07:16Ow!

00:07:19Ow!

00:07:21Ow!

00:07:22Ow!

00:07:24Let's go.

00:07:54Couriers, you are to go to my intended guests, to the Duke of Verga, to Verona, Florence.

00:08:02Tell them that they are to come here to my castle without delay.

00:08:06And if they wish admittance, to avoid the village of Catania, but to come at once.

00:08:15You will watch.

00:08:16In my own time.

00:08:17Princess, now is the time.

00:08:18I will do nothing until I know Vagina and my father.

00:08:24Monesty, but no humility.

00:08:33Gino, my father, where are they?

00:08:36Why do you hide yourself?

00:08:38It's not right that you should look at me.

00:08:42You may go.

00:08:43That cross you wear around your neck, is it only a decoration, or are you a true Christian believer?

00:08:57Yes, I believe.

00:08:59Truly.

00:09:00Then I want you to remove it at once, and never to wear it within this castle again.

00:09:05I want you to leave.

00:09:20Pleasant girl, is she always to be bathed in my bedroom?

00:09:22We'll find you another room, Juliana.

00:09:25Meanwhile, you will dress the Lady Francesca in one of your finest gowns.

00:09:29I don't...

00:09:29Later, you can instruct her in the ways of the court.

00:09:32Please, my father.

00:09:34Oh, yes, your father.

00:09:38Your father and your lover are being quartered

00:09:41in a warm and safe place.

00:09:45Now I must join my guest.

00:09:58You may think that you've impressed the Prince Prospero.

00:10:02But you can count on little help from me.

00:10:05You will do as he told you.

00:10:08Yes, as we all must do.

00:10:12I will do what I must to save my men.

00:10:17But if they are killed, I will die.

00:10:22And so will Prince Prospero.

00:10:28Oh, my God.

00:10:30Let me speak to you about the anatomy of terror.

00:10:36Terror?

00:10:38What would you know of terror, Alfredo?

00:10:42Your senses are much too blunt.

00:10:45What is terror?

00:10:49Come.

00:10:49Silence.

00:10:57Silence.

00:11:01Listen.

00:11:05Is it to awaken and hear the passing of time?

00:11:09Or is it the failing beat of your own heart?

00:11:22Or the footsteps of someone who, just a moment before, was in your room?

00:11:28But let us not dwell on terror.

00:11:35The knowledge of terror is vouchsafed only to the precious few.

00:11:40And now, may I present for your entertainment, the dancers Esmeralda and Hop Toad.

00:11:59And so, shall we hear it?

00:12:02If we are mad, will it be nadfuny?

00:12:02Yes.

00:12:03If he непend� riding.

00:12:03If he is an ugly train, the attraction, the ship will fix it.

00:12:06To every dismay in the mission, the life of big traps of weapons in the drugяти period.

00:12:07Well, I won't do anything.

00:12:08Of course, there are people with help us, all you may sin at all.

00:12:08He

00:12:52Where ever did you find her?

00:12:57Pretty toy, isn't she?

00:12:59Delightful.

00:13:14I wonder...

00:13:15I'm sure you do, Alfredo.

00:13:18I'm sure you wonder about every female in my household.

00:13:22And every one with the appearance of innocence.

00:13:25You seem to take great pleasure in corrupting him.

00:13:28I'm not corrupting, Alfredo.

00:13:29I'm not instructing him.

00:13:31If the wench were full of size, she'd drown us all in wine.

00:13:36If the wench were full of size, she'd drown us all in wine.

00:13:48If the wench were full of size, she'd drown us all in wine.

00:14:00Well, my first novelty seems to have failed.

00:14:07However, on the Sabbath at midnight, for your amusement, there will be a masquerade.

00:14:12The wardrobes of the castle are yours to use.

00:14:15But I beg of you, even for the humor of it, do not wear red.

00:14:20You go too far.

00:14:26I am not without influence and power.

00:14:29Against the Red Death.

00:14:32Yes.

00:14:34Yes, it came to the village.

00:14:36Even now, it lays waste the countryside.

00:14:40So you can count yourselves fortunate that you were here in this castle.

00:14:45Under the protection of Prince Prospero.

00:15:02May I present the Lady Francesca?

00:15:04Meanwhile, continue with your merrymaking.

00:15:09Act according to your natures.

00:15:14Senor Veronese.

00:15:17You do little but eat and swill and dream of other things.

00:15:23How like a pig you are.

00:15:25Be one.

00:15:34You, Senor Lambrede.

00:15:51You laugh at this poor pig.

00:15:56Well, you are small and insignificant, no more than a worm.

00:16:01Can you be a worm, Lambrede?

00:16:04Huh?

00:16:05Do you hear how she laughs?

00:16:17Do you hear how she laughs?

00:16:19She's like nothing so much as a braying jackass.

00:16:36Be one.

00:16:38You, Senor Rimini.

00:16:51Ride that jackass to market.

00:16:54As for the rest of you, use your imaginations.

00:17:07Show me the lives and loves of the animals.

00:17:09We cannot make something more exotic of her that will appeal to me.

00:17:26Francesca?

00:17:35My father imprisoned a friend of his in this room for three years.

00:17:48of his in this room for three years when he was released he could never again bear to look at the

00:28:24Ah!

00:28:25Ah!

00:28:26I take off my cross because it offended...

00:28:28It offended no one.

00:28:30My master and his followers look about with open eyes.

00:28:35No, it simply appeared to me to be discourteous

00:28:38to wear the symbol of a deity long dead.

00:28:44Your master?

00:28:46Satan.

00:28:48The lord of flies.

00:28:51The fallen angel.

00:28:56Come.

00:29:16Who seeks entrance to Prince Prospero's castle?

00:29:19Prospero's invited guests. Open the gate at once.

00:29:22It is the Prince himself who speaks to you, Scarlatti.

00:29:26You are no longer welcome here.

00:29:29Really?

00:29:31I know your whims, but...

00:29:33The village is full of the Red Death.

00:29:36The Red Death?

00:29:39Prince Prospero, I beg you.

00:29:41Allow us, Haven.

00:29:42I beg, Sanctuary.

00:29:44This is no church.

00:29:46By any god, in all the gods of time, I beg you.

00:29:57My wife, you've always thought her beautiful.

00:29:59I knew you desired her.

00:30:01I watched your eyes for her.

00:30:03This Scarlatti thought of himself as a good man in many things.

00:30:08And he thought of his wife as pure and unassailable.

00:30:12I give her to you, to do it as you please.

00:30:16I've already had that doubtful pleasure.

00:30:23Prince, spare me the Red Death.

00:30:26Prince, I beg you.

00:30:28In the name of friendship.

00:30:34In the name of friendship!

00:30:37No!

00:30:41For you, friend.

00:30:42No!

00:30:50Madam!

00:30:53Spare yourself the Red Death.

00:30:57Pick it up!

00:30:58We've been ordered to teach you the use of arms.

00:31:00I will not learn to fight my friend.

00:31:02Now, don't be a fool!

00:31:03One of you could survive!

00:31:05If you fight well, the living one might be given his freedom.

00:31:08To live like you.

00:31:09Like one of Prospero's pet dogs.

00:31:11Kill me.

00:31:14But Prospero will see you dead for spoiling his entertainment.

00:31:19I won't kill you.

00:31:21I'll just cut you a bit.

00:31:41Fight!

00:31:42Kill me.

00:31:43I'll be!

00:31:54Finish.

00:31:55Leave!

00:31:56Stop them. Gino knows nothing of fighting.

00:32:15The turn's rather fast.

00:32:26It is a true fact that the greatest swordsman in Italy would not fear the second greatest, but would fear the worst, for that one would be unpredictable.

00:32:41Francesca, are you unharmed?

00:32:46Yes, Gino. You?

00:32:50Scratches given that taught me to fight, but I will not fight my friend.

00:32:56You may force me to discipline you in some other way.

00:32:59Do what you will.

00:33:01We will not fight.

00:33:03And I don't think you'll give us up to simple torture.

00:33:06Because if you did, then in a way you would have lost.

00:33:13You surprised me.

00:33:16However, I'm pleased to find that you've given me a puzzle to think about.

00:33:22Somehow, you two will challenge death together.

00:33:28You may be certain of that.

00:33:30No, this way, my dear. It would be better.

00:33:37I understand. Life is often ugly.

00:33:39But to torture men! Is this what your master Satan demands as worship?

00:33:45These cells are very old.

00:33:48A hundred years ago, an ancestor of mine was a Christian monk.

00:33:53He was made examiner of an early inquisition.

00:33:55He tortured over 600 men, women and children in order to save their souls for your God of love.

00:34:05I cannot answer. I have no learning.

00:34:06But then is Satan a God of hate?

00:34:07Oh, no. Of reality. Of truth.

00:34:08The world is a God of love.

00:34:09I cannot answer. I have no learning.

00:34:10But then is Satan a God of hate?

00:34:11Oh, no. Of reality. Of truth.

00:34:12The world lives in pain and despair, but is at least kept alive by a few dedicated men.

00:34:14But then is Satan a God of hate?

00:34:15Oh, no. Of reality. Of truth.

00:34:16The world lives in pain and despair, but is at least kept alive by a few dedicated men.

00:34:19If we lost our power, chaos would engulf everything.

00:34:21Sometimes that power must be used to teach harshly the demons of the people of the Порох.

00:34:25I have no learning.

00:34:26How do you think?

00:34:27I have no learning in order to save their souls for your God of love.

00:34:28I cannot answer. I have no learning.

00:34:29But then is Satan a God of hate?

00:34:30Oh, no. Of reality. Of truth.

00:34:33The world lives in pain and despair, but is at least kept alive by a few dedicated men.

00:34:39If we lost our power, chaos would engulf everything.

00:34:42Sometimes that power must be used to teach harshly the people of our power.

00:34:47The power must be used to teach harsh lessons.

00:34:52But I don't want to learn.

00:34:55I'm afraid.

00:34:57I do not want to hurt you, my dear.

00:35:00Can't you understand?

00:35:02I want to help save your soul,

00:35:04so you can join me in the glories of hell.

00:35:06No! Never!

00:35:09The way is not easy, I know.

00:35:12But I will take you by the hand

00:35:15and lead you through the cruel light

00:35:18into the velvet darkness.

00:35:23Lord Satan,

00:35:25he who is known as Belial by the ancients,

00:35:30demon lover

00:35:32of all those who wish to live in your eternal night,

00:35:36here,

00:35:38in your hour of deepest dark,

00:35:41in your temple and before your altar.

00:35:45I twice bind myself to thee

00:35:48as your handmaiden

00:35:51and your betrothed.

00:35:58And with this symbol of your lasting victory,

00:36:02I inscribe the final mark

00:36:06and offer myself to thee.

00:36:09shhh...

00:36:11shhh...

00:36:23Shhh...

00:36:26Lord Satan!

00:36:28Send me a demon...

00:36:30so I may know I'm to be your wife.

00:36:37What are you lurking about for your grinning, twisted devil?

00:36:41Not only am I afflicted with this body,

00:36:43but with sleeplessness as well.

00:36:45Losing your sleep because of the tiny dancer, huh?

00:36:48She's nothing to me.

00:36:50I prefer a full-sized woman.

00:36:52Do you now?

00:36:53How do you set about getting such a woman?

00:36:55My master, Prospero, provides me with companions from time to time.

00:37:03A good master?

00:37:05Yes, I suppose so.

00:37:07But I imagine there are better.

00:37:10You'd like to leave Prospero's service?

00:37:12I fear for the security of his reign.

00:37:17If I could find a strong protector, I might dare a change.

00:37:21And what special service have you to offer

00:37:25that might persuade someone else to take you under its protection?

00:37:28All manner of things, either crafty and inventive mind.

00:37:33Indeed.

00:37:35For example?

00:37:37The masquerade.

00:37:39I would devise something startling, novel.

00:37:43Something that would be the talk of the entire rebel.

00:37:47Have you told Prospero of this novel thing?

00:37:49I fear the prince is much too austere.

00:37:54Will you tell me?

00:37:56Everyone will dress as usual.

00:37:58A harlequin, a Chinese, a soldier, or a princess.

00:38:02They will all either be beautiful or humorous.

00:38:06But all will be obviously human.

00:38:10I will come as a demon.

00:38:13Why not come as a great ape?

00:38:18When the guests are gathered,

00:38:27you would enter,

00:38:30arms swinging,

00:38:33advancing toward the screaming ladies

00:38:36with lowered head and grinning jaw.

00:38:39It will be more than a costume.

00:38:43It will be a performance

00:38:44by the cleverest man at the court.

00:38:48Well, would I get such a disguise?

00:38:55There is one.

00:38:56In the room of stuffed animals.

00:39:00Another toy Prince Prospero never bothers with anymore.

00:39:05I'm sure it's forgotten.

00:39:06Do you really think it would cause a sensation?

00:39:11Oh, yes.

00:39:13And there is more to the game.

00:39:15Amen.

00:39:16Amen.

00:39:17Amen.

00:39:18Amen.

00:39:19Amen.

00:39:20Amen.

00:39:21Amen.

00:39:22Amen.

00:39:23Amen.

00:39:24Amen.

00:39:25Amen.

00:39:26Amen.

00:39:27Amen.

00:39:28Amen.

00:39:29Amen.

00:39:30Amen.

00:39:31Amen.

00:39:32Amen.

00:39:33Amen.

00:39:34Amen.

00:39:35Amen.

00:39:36Amen.

00:39:37Amen.

00:39:38Amen.

00:39:39Amen.

00:39:40Amen.

00:39:41Amen.

00:39:42Amen.

00:39:43Let's go.

00:40:13Oh, Julianne.

00:40:17Thank God. I thought...

00:40:19Yes.

00:40:21I don't know.

00:40:24What's that?

00:40:26Satan's mark.

00:40:29Prospero did that to you?

00:40:31No.

00:40:33I did it to myself.

00:40:38Marks me as one of Satan's handmaidens.

00:40:41Are you ill?

00:40:43No.

00:40:47It was a difficult ceremony.

00:40:52Veils of ignorance were lifted from my eyes.

00:40:56And now...

00:40:58there's only one more right to perform.

00:41:02And I will be wed to Satan.

00:41:05You've given away your soul.

00:41:07Yes.

00:41:08Gladly.

00:41:11Soon all the innocence will be gone.

00:41:17Then I will have immortality.

00:41:21And I shall have Prospero.

00:41:27But I must be certain.

00:41:30And if you were gone...

00:41:31Gladly. If there were a way.

00:41:33Would you dare to leave the safety of this castle?

00:41:37There is no safety for me here.

00:41:41This key will unlock the cell.

00:41:43The guard on the north wall has been bribed.

00:41:45Take your geno and your father and go.

00:41:47But the guard's the way through to the dungeons.

00:41:49You've been to the armory and to the dungeons.

00:41:51You must make your own way.

00:41:53Now go.

00:41:54Quickly.

00:41:55Quickly.

00:41:56Quickly.

00:44:57I think I heard something.

00:45:23I'll sit down and play.

00:45:25I'll see you.

00:45:55God?

00:45:57God?

00:46:31I'll see you men who've done you no harm.

00:46:33They killed three of my gods, three human beings.

00:46:37According to your faith, they have sinned greatly.

00:46:41And tomorrow at the feast before the mask, at least one of them must pay for those sins.

00:46:48Hear me.

00:46:56Hear me.

00:46:58Hear me.

00:47:06Hear me.

00:47:08Hear me.

00:47:18Hear me.

00:47:19Hear me.

00:47:20Soon you will be costuming.

00:47:29A celebration of victory over death.

00:47:30A celebration of victory over death.

00:47:31Of evil over good.

00:47:35I'll see you.

00:47:36I'll see you.

00:47:37I'll see you.

00:47:38I'll see you.

00:47:43I'll see you.

00:47:44I'll see you.

00:47:45I'll see you.

00:47:49I'll see you.

00:47:50I'll see you.

00:47:51I'll see you.

00:47:52I'll see you.

00:47:54We'll be safe from the Red Death, we promise you.

00:48:01Unless, of course, you incur our displeasure.

00:48:08For some of you are guilty of acts against us.

00:48:13Acts of faith, perhaps.

00:48:18And all of you, I suspect, still harbor some sacred thoughts.

00:48:24But no more.

00:48:27The fallen angel will protect you.

00:48:32And now, for a small entertainment.

00:48:36Guards!

00:48:49These two men are true believers.

00:48:51They believe in a God who preached,

00:48:55Love thy neighbor.

00:48:57Therefore, they refuse to fight each other in order to save one of their lives.

00:49:02However, I have devised a plan whereby each may have the honor and glory of saving the other's life.

00:49:09There are five daggers here.

00:49:11One of them is impregnated with a poison that kills in five seconds.

00:49:20Each man, in turn, will cut his forearm.

00:49:22Begin.

00:49:39Would you not lay down your life for your brother?

00:49:52For two?

00:50:08Put yourink.

00:50:10Next.

00:50:11Five seconds.

00:50:41Five seconds.

00:51:11Five seconds.

00:51:35The game was not played properly, so both will die.

00:51:53No!

00:51:54You're a madman.

00:51:55And yet I will live and you will die.

00:51:58Where is your God now in the hour of your need?

00:52:01I will see him in paradise.

00:52:04In the role of a martyr.

00:52:09Now, I will not have you killed.

00:52:14I will set you free instead.

00:52:17Free to go back to your village and the Red Death.

00:52:21I beg you!

00:52:23I am only giving him a further glorious chance to test his faith, my dear.

00:52:29Out!

00:52:30Out!

00:52:31I will come back for you, Francesca.

00:52:33Somehow, I will come back!

00:52:40Prince Prospero!

00:52:42Let me go with him.

00:52:43You.

00:52:44Please!

00:52:45You?

00:52:47Oh, now, my dear, I could not bear to think of...

00:52:53No.

00:52:55You will go to your rooms now and prepare for the mask.

00:52:59You will not appear in your costumes until midnight.

00:53:14Why do you follow me?

00:53:16Bring Gino back and...

00:53:20I will do whatever you wish.

00:53:22You will destroy yourself for him.

00:53:25Yes.

00:53:27You almost caused me to doubt.

00:53:30Prospero?

00:53:34My Prince.

00:53:35I am ready.

00:53:37I am ready.

00:54:05I am ready.

00:54:06I am ready, Francesca!

00:54:09I am ready!

00:54:10I am ready to die!

00:54:11Oh, I am here...

00:54:12No!

00:54:13There is a great place.

00:54:14I am ready.

00:54:15I am ready!

00:54:16No.

00:54:17Well, you have my kids!

00:54:18I am ready!

00:54:19No.

00:54:20Do you know!

00:54:21I am ready!

00:54:22No!

00:54:23I am ready.

00:54:25No!

00:54:27I am ready!

00:54:29And now that is my favourite promise!

00:54:30I will have to die to...

00:54:31God, I am ready...

00:54:32I am ready!

00:54:33Please! Please!

00:54:51My son.

00:54:57Tell me of it.

00:54:58God.

00:55:00My God!

00:55:03Who is your God?

00:55:07The true one.

00:55:09Yes.

00:55:12Tell me.

00:55:17I've sinned.

00:55:20I've killed.

00:55:23For yourself?

00:55:24No.

00:55:29No, I'm afraid.

00:55:30For yourself?

00:55:32For Francesca.

00:55:34And for me.

00:55:36I must go back for her, but I don't know how.

00:55:39What weapon can I use against Prospero?

00:55:43Love?

00:55:44In the air, through the trees, I've found myself loving only myself.

00:55:49I'm afraid of the town where the Red Death walks.

00:55:52I'm afraid of Prospero and his castle.

00:55:55I'm afraid.

00:55:57I'm afraid!

00:55:58I'm afraid.

00:56:01I give you...

00:56:03a sign.

00:56:12What does it mean?

00:56:15Mankind.

00:56:16I've seen a sign of the trees.

00:56:17I've seen a sign of the trees.

00:56:18I've seen a sign of the trees.

00:56:19I've seen a sign of the trees.

00:56:25Won't this thing become uncomfortably hot?

00:56:28It will become a little warm.

00:56:30But it won't be for long.

00:56:33After the unmasking, you can take it off.

00:56:36Because the game will be over.

00:56:39Fair enough.

00:56:41Get on with it.

00:56:46Perfect.

00:56:48Perfect.

00:56:50See yourself.

00:56:55Now...

00:56:57Crouch low.

00:56:59And swing your arms.

00:57:05Back, mighty animal.

00:57:09I am your keeper.

00:57:12Brought from deepest Africa.

00:57:15To control your great strengths.

00:57:18Back!

00:57:20Back!

00:57:35Back!

00:57:38Where'd you go?

00:57:39The burial grounds beyond the hill.

00:57:41We go to the castle.

00:57:42Why?

00:57:44To beg forgiveness of the prince.

00:57:46Forgiveness for what?

00:57:48For however we have sinned.

00:57:50To beg forgiveness at the house of Satan himself.

00:57:53Better than the Red Death.

00:57:55Stop! Stop!

00:57:57Let's go.

00:57:59Come.

00:58:01Come.

00:58:03Come.

00:58:05You were too.

00:58:07Come.

00:58:09You are too.

00:58:11Do not.

00:58:14My god is so glad.

00:58:17Now I am.

00:58:19I am.

00:58:20Alleluia.

00:58:50Alleluia.

00:59:20Alleluia.

00:59:50Alleluia.

01:00:20Alleluia.

01:00:50Alleluia.

01:01:20Alleluia.

01:01:34My master.

01:01:36Satan.

01:01:41Prospero?

01:01:45Prospero?

01:01:50I am betrothed of the devil.

01:02:06And I have seen the terrors.

01:02:09Not all of them.

01:02:20I have survived my own sacrifice.

01:02:25There is more.

01:02:26Not all of them.

01:02:40And I am stronger in the devil's favor than you are.

01:02:56Together on earth, we shall live as man and wife.

01:03:07And when he calls us, you will be Satan.

01:03:13And I still your wife.

01:03:15You know what?

01:03:26I have tasted the beauties of terror.

01:03:29Hush.

01:03:31Listen.

01:03:33The passing of time.

01:03:35The beating of a heart.

01:03:37The footstep of an assassin.

01:03:39Destiny.

01:03:40This...

01:03:42the passing of time.

01:03:44The beating of a heart.

01:03:45The footstep of an assassin.

01:03:49The

01:04:02I beg you, do not mourn for Juliana.

01:04:26We should celebrate.

01:04:28She has just married a friend of mine.

01:04:34Let the mass begin.

01:04:43Officer of the Nightwatch.

01:04:46Who are you?

01:04:48All that is left of the village of Catania.

01:04:50Then go back to it.

01:04:51We beg mercy of the Lord Prince Prospero.

01:04:55Inform the prince it might amuse him.

01:04:58Don't grovel to him.

01:05:02Don't let him delight in the destruction of your souls.

01:05:05I wish to save our bodies, the few left to us.

01:05:09Don't you expect any plea to move his heart?

01:05:11If we must die, let's die like human beings.

01:05:14You have not seen the Red Death.

01:05:18And you have not seen the Dungeons of Prospero.

01:05:20Don't be frightened.

01:05:32Come with me.

01:05:33This is Gino.

01:05:35This is my child.

01:05:36I must give her every chance.

01:05:38Where does the rabbit run?

01:05:52That one fears Prospero more than the Red Death.

01:05:54What do you want?

01:06:01Mercy, great prince.

01:06:02This is all that is left of us.

01:06:04In the winter, it comes on the freezing wind.

01:06:06There is no shelter.

01:06:07Dig a burrow as the fox and rabbits do.

01:06:10But the wells and the streams,

01:06:12they will be frozen over.

01:06:13There is no food.

01:06:14Then store up nuts like the squirrels.

01:06:17Mercy, give us the sanctuary of the castle walls.

01:06:21Give me an end to your pleading.

01:06:23Go back from whence you came.

01:06:25We will die.

01:06:27If you refuse to go, then die here, Parchus.

01:06:34But not the child.

01:06:36It will perish anyway.

01:06:37Not the child.

01:06:40Fire.

01:06:41Fire.

01:06:48Gifts.

01:06:49Gifts for everyone.

01:06:52Diamonds, rubies, emeralds, pearls.

01:06:56For my friends.

01:06:58For my guests.

01:06:59Look at them.

01:07:01Look at them.

01:07:02All scrambling like starving men for crusts of bread.

01:07:07All wealthy and all greedy for more.

01:07:12I give you reason for real rejoicing, my friends.

01:07:17The only survivors of the village have just come to the castle walls.

01:07:22Only six.

01:07:25The Red Death has claimed the rest of them.

01:07:28But as I promised you,

01:07:29all of you within these walls,

01:07:32under my protection,

01:07:34are safe.

01:07:35So rejoice.

01:07:38And the six who lived.

01:07:40Dead.

01:07:41But they demanded to enter the castle.

01:07:45You killed them.

01:07:47It was a kindness, my dear.

01:07:49Can't you see that?

01:07:51The Red Death brings pain and terror and madness.

01:07:54I spared them.

01:07:57Tonight, after the mask,

01:07:58I will initiate you into understanding.

01:08:01I don't know.

01:08:03I don't know.

01:08:04I don't know.

01:08:05I don't know.

01:08:06I don't know.

01:08:07I don't know.

01:08:08I don't know.

01:08:09I don't know.

01:08:10I don't know.

01:08:11I don't know.

01:08:12I don't know.

01:08:13I don't know.

01:08:14I don't know.

01:08:15I don't know.

01:08:16I don't know.

01:08:17I don't know.

01:08:18I don't know.

01:08:19I don't know.

01:08:20I don't know.

01:08:21I don't know.

01:08:22I don't know.

01:08:23I don't know.

01:08:24I don't know.

01:08:25I don't know.

01:08:26I don't know.

01:08:27I don't know.

01:08:28I don't know.

01:08:29I don't know.

01:08:30I don't know.

01:08:31Gently, my son, remain here.

01:09:02Shortly after the stroke of one, I will send Francesca to you.

01:09:07I must get to her now.

01:09:09You have recovered your courage. Now prove your wisdom.

01:09:13There is nothing you can do. There are too many.

01:09:16Wait, as I tell you.

01:09:18The guards will discover me.

01:09:21Look there.

01:09:31Yes?

01:09:43Oh.

01:09:44Forgive me for startling you.

01:09:47It's only Hoptoad.

01:09:48Made more ugly than even he is.

01:09:51You're not ugly to me.

01:09:53I've come to tell you that there's no need for you to appear at the mask tonight.

01:09:58I don't understand.

01:10:00My plans are made.

01:10:02If you will trust me and believe in me, we'll leave this monstrous castle tonight.

01:10:08Do we dare?

01:10:10The Red Death.

01:10:11It can be no worse than life here.

01:10:14Believe in me.

01:10:15I do believe in you.

01:10:18Have a warm cloak and be ready.

01:10:21The game is almost over.

01:10:23The Red Death.

01:10:53Have no fear.

01:11:05I can control this monster.

01:11:07I can kill the monster game.

01:11:23He is too playful.

01:11:39I will tie him up and make him helpless.

01:11:41Let me down, you fiend.

01:12:08Let me down.

01:12:11Let me down.

01:12:13Let me down.

01:12:15Look, my dear.

01:12:16I believe Hoptoad is playing some sort of a joke on Alfredo.

01:12:21I will set you to torture, as I imagined.

01:12:25You have already tortured by your cruelty to my Esmeralda.

01:12:29Esmeralda.

01:12:29Hold this.

01:12:38The great African ape.

01:12:40Says he wants some brandy.

01:12:43Let me down.

01:12:55Let me down.

01:12:57Hop.

01:12:59Hop.

01:13:00Hop.

01:13:01Let me down.

01:13:03Hop.

01:13:04Let me down.

01:13:04I see you no longer turn away from the cruelties of life.

01:13:23I no longer care.

01:13:26My life is done.

01:13:29What's left I give to you tonight.

01:13:34What's left I give to you tonight?

01:13:40Guards, clear that out of the way.

01:13:43How can my guests be expected to dance around that?

01:13:48And when you find Hop Toad, give him five pieces of gold as a reward for his entertaining jest.

01:13:53You've pleased me very much, my dear.

01:13:57What was that?

01:13:58What is it?

01:13:59A costume I haven't seen before. Someone wearing red, and I forbade them to wear red.

01:14:05Come.

01:14:18There he is again. Come.

01:14:29Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. I command you to wait.

01:14:44Prospero.

01:14:50Prospero.

01:14:52You command me to wait.

01:14:55Very well.

01:14:57I wait.

01:15:00Condotti.

01:15:02Rimini.

01:15:05Who are you beneath your mask?

01:15:07Is my costume such a disguise that you don't recognize me?

01:15:12Your voice. It's familiar.

01:15:17Vattori Bernelli. That's who you are.

01:15:20Bernelli, you dog thinking too.

01:15:27You're not Bernelli.

01:15:29No.

01:15:31The doctor dances in the white room.

01:15:34But I passed close by him.

01:15:37Truly, Prospero, you don't know me.

01:15:48So you've come.

01:15:49Yes, Prospero.

01:15:56On your knees.

01:15:58Prospero.

01:15:59On your knees.

01:16:01The Prince of Darkness.

01:16:08I would like to see your face.

01:16:13There is no face of death.

01:16:16Until the moment of your own death.

01:16:21And I am only one of many messengers.

01:16:25Who do you come for?

01:16:27Many.

01:16:29All?

01:16:31Not all.

01:16:33I knew I was right.

01:16:35I knew it.

01:16:36I knew it.

01:16:37I've won.

01:16:40The time of unmasking.

01:16:43They begin to show their naked faces.

01:17:06It's time for a new dance to begin.

01:17:16The dance of death.

01:17:35Are you loving the young man?

01:17:51Oh.

01:17:52Let's go.

01:18:22I brought all of these souls to him.

01:18:25I taught them his worship.

01:18:27I corrupted them for him.

01:18:29I knew he was supreme when no one else did.

01:18:32I built a chapel to Satan.

01:18:34And I prayed to him and I made a pact with him.

01:18:37And these, all of my friends, I promised them safety.

01:18:42You presumed too much.

01:18:44I know, I know, but it does make a fine jest.

01:18:47The kind of jest that would amuse Satan.

01:18:49Would it?

01:18:51Your Excellency, this girl.

01:18:57In all my life, I've never met anyone whose faith rivaled mine.

01:19:02Spare her to me.

01:19:04A charitable request, a rare thing with you, Prospero.

01:19:09Go to the battlements.

01:19:12Go now.

01:19:16Yes, Francesca.

01:19:18Yes, go and I will join you when this is over.

01:19:39Thank you, Your Excellency, for the girl.

01:19:49I have no title.

01:19:51Why do you call me Excellency?

01:19:54Well, I thought as the ambassador of Satan...

01:19:57He is not my master.

01:19:59Death has no master.

01:20:02But Satan rules the universe.

01:20:05I made a pact with him.

01:20:07He does not rule alone.

01:20:08And your pact with him will not save you.

01:20:11There is no other God.

01:20:16Satan killed him.

01:20:17Each man creates his own God for himself.

01:20:21His own heaven.

01:20:23His own hell.

01:20:25Let me see your face.

01:20:27Your hell, Prince Prospero.

01:20:32And the moment of your death.

01:20:35No.

01:20:36No!

01:20:37No!

01:20:38No!

01:20:39No!

01:20:40No!

01:20:41No!

01:20:42No!

01:21:05No!

01:21:07No!

01:21:08No!

01:21:10No!

01:21:19No!

01:21:20No!

01:21:24No!

01:21:30No!

01:23:01Why should you be afraid to die?

01:23:25Your soul has been dead for a long time.
