00:00:00The End
00:00:30Let's go.
00:01:00Let's go.
00:01:30Let's go.
00:02:00Let's go.
00:02:30Let's go.
00:02:59Let's go.
00:03:29Let's go.
00:03:59Let's go.
00:04:29Let's go.
00:04:30Let's go.
00:04:31Let's go.
00:04:32Let's go.
00:04:33Let's go.
00:04:34Let's go.
00:04:35Let's go.
00:04:36Hello, darling.
00:04:37How's it going?
00:04:38Very well.
00:04:39Very well indeed.
00:04:40Not many people here.
00:04:41Worry days yet, George.
00:04:42They'll all be along later.
00:04:43Don't you worry.
00:04:44Here we are.
00:04:45Let's go.
00:04:46I see you're spending my money wisely.
00:04:48I see you're spending my money wisely.
00:04:49Who's money?
00:04:50You did say I could do what I like with my own allowance.
00:04:52Did I?
00:04:53Oh, fool me.
00:04:54Now, come on, Davis.
00:04:55Show us around.
00:04:56I'm sure, George.
00:04:57I'm sure they'll prove a great investment.
00:04:58I'm sure they'll prove a great investment.
00:04:59So they better, for your sake.
00:05:00That money my wife gave you is only a loan, you know.
00:05:03Yes, I know.
00:05:04I'm sure John understands.
00:05:05What's this red star mean?
00:05:07You know, perfectly well it means it's been sold.
00:05:09Well, I don't see many about.
00:05:11Have you got any impressionists?
00:05:13Oh, no.
00:05:14These are basically new and unknown artists.
00:05:16Oh, pity.
00:05:17I like impressionists.
00:05:18Can good investment.
00:05:20I made a packet out of mine.
00:05:22Oh, this is exciting.
00:05:24George, don't you think so?
00:05:28George.
00:05:29Yes, very good.
00:05:34Where did you get this?
00:05:36From the artist.
00:05:38Victor Clare, I don't think I know that.
00:05:41Is he young?
00:05:42No, that's the funny thing.
00:05:43In fact, he's getting on a bit.
00:05:44Davis, I want this piece.
00:05:46George.
00:05:47How much is it?
00:05:48I'm sorry, it's already sold.
00:05:50Who to?
00:05:51To an American dealer.
00:05:53Can't you tell him you've changed your mind?
00:05:54You know he can't go back on a deal.
00:05:56It's just not done.
00:05:58I'm awfully sorry.
00:05:59I didn't see you there.
00:06:01Damn drunk.
00:06:03Why don't you throw him out?
00:06:04It might be a little difficult.
00:06:05He's Victor Clare's son, Michael.
00:06:07Without him, I wouldn't have got any of the Clare pieces.
00:06:10Perhaps he could get another piece for George.
00:06:12I don't want another piece.
00:06:13I'm sure if we ask this Victor Clare...
00:06:15No.
00:06:16He sees no one.
00:06:17He lives as a recluse.
00:06:19He hasn't shown any of his work since before the war.
00:06:21Stop bellyaching.
00:06:22I've already told you I don't want just any piece.
00:06:24I want that one.
00:06:25I think we'd better hurry.
00:06:26You'll miss your plane.
00:06:28George is going to Germany for a week.
00:06:30Well, I don't know.
00:06:31It's my money that's paying for all this.
00:06:33It's just a loan.
00:06:34It doesn't give you any rights.
00:06:35No?
00:06:36Well, just you make sure that money's paid back by the end of the week...
00:06:39...or we'll see who's got any rights.
00:06:41I'm afraid he means it.
00:06:45I'll manage.
00:06:46I hope so.
00:06:48I thought I was supposed to be the drunk.
00:07:12Who were those, um...
00:07:14Those two heavies you were talking to seem to get you down a bit.
00:07:17Who were they?
00:07:18That was George Brent.
00:07:19Oh.
00:07:20Yeah.
00:07:21And his wife, Joanna.
00:07:22Well, you seem to be getting on all right with her.
00:07:25But I don't think he fancied you.
00:07:27I think he preferred blondes.
00:07:29Well, what were they doing here?
00:07:31Buying?
00:07:32They're my backers.
00:07:33They lent me the money to buy all this stuff and set up the show.
00:07:36Well, what happens if you don't sell it all?
00:07:40What do you think?
00:07:41Still, they're not trying to make a profit out of me.
00:07:44She regards herself as a sort of patron of the arts.
00:07:47Conscience money.
00:07:49One of my father's favourite expressions.
00:07:53He'll turn to my mother and he'll say,
00:07:57Conscience money.
00:08:00Most rich men have to salve their consciences by buying pictures or being patrons of the arts.
00:08:09But your father gave me you.
00:08:12You see, all his money came from her trust fund.
00:08:18He could never quite forgive her for that.
00:08:21Bastard.
00:08:22Still, his work sold well.
00:08:24About the only things they'd have.
00:08:26How much have we made?
00:08:27Well, it's hard to say.
00:08:29Your cut should be about half a grand, don't you think?
00:08:31Good.
00:08:32It's all right for you.
00:08:33My share's all tied up in this other stuff.
00:09:03Well, it's all tied up in this one.
00:09:04I'll take you to the next one.
00:09:05But you're ready for your daughter.
00:09:06Fine.
00:09:07Not yet.
00:09:08How much is the young man who's on the ground?
00:09:09Why she thinks she's always here?
00:09:11I'm late.
00:09:12I'm late.
00:09:13You grow older than the young man.
00:09:15You're dead.
00:09:16I'm late.
00:09:17No.
00:09:18No.
00:09:19You're getting married.
00:09:20I'm late.
00:09:21You're getting married.
00:09:22I'm late.
00:09:23Oh, no.
00:09:24Oh.
00:09:25I'm late.
00:09:26I'm late.
00:09:27I'm late.
00:09:28I'm late.
00:09:29I'm late.
00:09:30I'm late.
00:09:31You, uh, you did say there was a lot more of this stuff.
00:09:56At the studio.
00:09:58Oh, yes.
00:09:58No more like this, though.
00:09:59He didn't do any more sculpture after this one.
00:10:02I don't know why.
00:10:03Plenty of pictures of that.
00:10:05You don't think he's a chance of getting any more, do you?
00:10:07Oh, no, no, no.
00:10:08Not a hope.
00:10:09After tonight, I could sell anything by him.
00:10:11I got a pretty good price for it, too.
00:10:13No, it's too risky.
00:10:14I couldn't possibly smuggle any more.
00:10:16As I said, he'd go crazy now, I've been here.
00:10:19Come on.
00:10:22I'm not kidding.
00:10:23You don't know him like I do.
00:10:25He can be pretty violent.
00:10:26And, you know, I think he could even kill me if he knew.
00:10:33Listen.
00:10:35Supposing I meet him and offer him hard cash.
00:10:41Oh, I don't know.
00:10:43It might be a possibility.
00:10:45I remember when I was down there last time, there was some talk about the trust wasting away.
00:10:49Could be that the cost of living is finally catching up with Victor.
00:10:53I can't see him economizing.
00:10:55I'd like to have a go at him.
00:10:56Might be a complete waste of time.
00:10:58Look, Mike, I know I can sell your father's work quickly.
00:11:01If I could reinvest the takings from the sales tonight in some more of his work,
00:11:05I can make a quick profit and pay off the Brents.
00:11:07Otherwise, I'll never recoup that loan.
00:11:08Well, when would you like to meet him?
00:11:09It's got to be soon.
00:11:11Could go down to Jericho this weekend.
00:11:14Where?
00:11:14Oh, it's what we call the family, for want of a better word, seat, Jericho Valley.
00:11:22I haven't been there for some time.
00:11:23I owe them a visit.
00:11:25And Victor's very keen on Jane.
00:11:27He fancies it, does he?
00:11:29Who fancies who?
00:11:31We all fancy you, darling.
00:11:34Well, at least someone's enjoying themselves.
00:11:38How's it going, then?
00:11:39Oh, not too bad.
00:11:41Don't you mean not too good?
00:11:42Would you like a look around?
00:11:45Oh, no, thanks.
00:11:47Well, perhaps you and Mike would like to come upstairs for a drink.
00:11:49I know Millie would like to see you.
00:11:50Isn't she down here sharing your hour of triumph?
00:11:53Oh, no.
00:11:54Are you sure?
00:11:55No, thanks.
00:11:57I think we'll go while Mike can still walk.
00:12:00I suppose I'd better be off.
00:12:02This weekend, then?
00:12:04Well, if you're sure you want to come.
00:12:06But I've warned you, Victor can be pretty nasty.
00:12:08Look, it's my only chance.
00:12:10It's up to you.
00:12:11Well, if you're I know, bring Millie along.
00:12:14May help soften him up.
00:12:41I know.
00:12:42I know.
00:12:43I know.
00:12:44I know.
00:12:45I know.
00:12:46I know.
00:12:47I know.
00:12:48I know.
00:12:49I know.
00:12:50I know.
00:12:51I know.
00:12:52I know.
00:12:53I know.
00:12:54I know.
00:12:55I know.
00:12:56I know.
00:12:57I know.
00:12:58I know.
00:12:59I know.
00:13:00I know.
00:13:01I know.
00:13:02I know.
00:13:03I know.
00:13:04I know.
00:13:05I know.
00:14:36Who is it?
00:14:44John Davis.
00:14:46Yes, Michael.
00:14:47It's John.
00:14:48Look, do you think you could possibly muster enough strength to take the things down?
00:14:53We shall be a minute, John.
00:14:55Look, by the way, I absolutely refuse to travel with Mike.
00:14:59Will you drive him?
00:15:00Sure, you can ride with Millie.
00:15:02You can have a good old nag.
00:15:02Come on, get out.
00:15:15Why?
00:15:16We have to contend with a bit of artistic temperament.
00:15:18I'm taking Michael.
00:15:19You can keep Jane company in her car.
00:15:20Don't say they've had another row.
00:15:22What's the matter with those two?
00:15:23The usual problems.
00:15:24I suppose Jane's been on at him again.
00:15:28All she wants is a good hiding.
00:15:29How do you know?
00:15:30I know women, so watch it.
00:15:35Morning, Mike.
00:15:35What?
00:15:36In the doghouse again.
00:15:37I've been there for so long, I'm beginning to enjoy it.
00:16:07I'm beginning to enjoy it.
00:16:37I'm beginning to enjoy it.
00:17:07I'm beginning to enjoy it.
00:17:08I'm beginning to enjoy it.
00:17:09I'm beginning to enjoy it.
00:17:11I'm beginning to enjoy it.
00:17:12I'm beginning to enjoy it.
00:17:14I'm beginning to enjoy it.
00:17:15I'm beginning to enjoy it.
00:17:16Mother?
00:17:20Mother.
00:17:20Come in, dear.
00:17:22How are you?
00:17:27Looking well.
00:17:29This is a friend of mine, John Davis.
00:17:32How do you do, Mrs. Clare?
00:17:33Where's Jane?
00:17:35Jane?
00:17:36Uh, she's following in our car.
00:17:39Where's Father?
00:17:41Working in the studio.
00:17:42Shouldn't you stir up any?
00:17:44Please don't go up to him.
00:17:46You know how angry you, Mason.
00:17:51The prodigal returns, Father.
00:17:57No fatted calf?
00:17:58I think a little more emphasis on the highlight.
00:18:09You know, Marcia, my love, I think you're putting on weight.
00:18:26Jane's here.
00:18:28Here, let me give you a hand.
00:18:37All right?
00:18:38Here.
00:18:39Hello, love.
00:18:41Come on.
00:18:51I've had a word with the old man.
00:18:53I think we'd better leave it till tomorrow.
00:18:55There's no point in tackling him until he's in the right mood.
00:19:00How do you like the old place?
00:19:01It was very beautiful.
00:19:02Very strange.
00:19:03Yes, I thought you'd like it.
00:19:04You weren't kidding when you said it was remote.
00:19:06Nobody ever comes here now.
00:19:08It's got a weird atmosphere, hasn't it?
00:19:12That's the souls of the dead miners.
00:19:15Used to be a tin mine.
00:19:17One of the biggest.
00:19:20Until the accident.
00:19:21Yeah?
00:19:22There was this terrible disaster.
00:19:24They never recovered some of the bodies.
00:19:27Of course, no one would work here after that.
00:19:30They do say that the place will stay haunted until their bodies lie in consecrated ground.
00:19:36Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:19:39Laugh all you like, but some people believe me.
00:19:42Who?
00:19:44Well, all the locals.
00:19:46Victor?
00:19:48And she used to.
00:19:50That Japanese bird.
00:19:51The model for the bronze?
00:19:52A strange woman.
00:19:53Religious mania.
00:19:54Religious mania.
00:19:56She introduced Victor to this weird sect.
00:19:59They believed that the spirits of the dead had power over the living.
00:20:06They actually believed that a soul could take over and transform living flesh.
00:20:12You don't believe all that rubbish.
00:20:14The only spirits you believe in are pale brown and poured out of a bottle.
00:20:19I'll drink to that.
00:20:24I'll drink to that.
00:20:54I'll drink to that.

00:33:50It's not right, it has no feeling, perhaps if we try another purpose.
00:34:13No, Victor.
00:34:14No, in God's name, what's the matter now?
00:34:16Sorry, I can't.
00:34:17Sorry? Sorry, is that all you can say?
00:34:20Please don't be angry.
00:34:21Please don't be angry.
00:34:22What do you think you're doing to me?
00:34:23You can't turn me on and off like a damn switch.
00:34:26Oh, you make me sick!
00:34:41Victor?
00:34:43Victor?
00:34:47Who is that, d-d?
00:34:48Do you want me to turn over?
00:34:49Is anyone there?
00:34:50No, no, no!
00:34:52No, no, no, no!
00:34:53No!
00:34:54No!
00:34:55No!
00:34:56No!
00:34:57No!
00:34:58No!
00:34:59No, no, no!
00:35:00No!
00:35:01No!
00:35:02No!
00:35:03No!
00:35:04No!
00:35:05Get that shit!
00:35:06No!
00:35:07No!
00:35:08No!
00:35:09No!
00:35:10No!
00:35:11No!
00:35:12No!
00:35:13No!
00:35:14No!
00:35:15No!
00:35:16No, no!
00:35:47It's a fine morning.
00:36:08Yes, it's lovely.
00:36:10Are you sure you wouldn't like a little toast?
00:36:12No, thank you.
00:36:12It's not healthy.
00:36:14Going without breakfast.
00:36:18He's nice, isn't he?
00:36:19He's been with Victor for something like 30 years.
00:36:21Used to help him when he did his own casting.
00:36:24Sort of studio technician.
00:36:25But don't you need lots of equipment for that?
00:36:27A forge and things?
00:36:28Oh, he's got one.
00:36:29See that stone building over there?
00:36:31This used to be an old tin mine.
00:36:32Victor converted the furnace they used for smelting tin.
00:36:35He doesn't use it anymore.
00:36:37Good morning, Michael.
00:36:39Isn't Jane up yet?
00:36:40Don't ask me, huh?
00:36:43Oh, I don't know why you've always been.
00:36:45We had a terrible row last night.
00:36:48She went back to London.
00:36:49In the middle of the night?
00:36:51Yes, well, she's done it before.
00:36:54I remember when we were on holiday in Spain, she left.
00:36:58Didn't see her for three weeks.
00:37:00She's always doing it.
00:37:02And you don't blame her, either.
00:37:03I didn't hear her go.
00:37:06Nor me.
00:37:07I heard her drive away.
00:37:09It's a beautiful morning.
00:37:10I've been for a long walk.
00:37:12I trust that you, Mr. Davis, and the lovely Millie
00:37:15are going to take full advantage of our good sea air.
00:37:18Yes, we hope to later.
00:37:20After we've talked business.
00:37:23Oh, Michael didn't give you a little game away.
00:37:26You did.
00:37:27I did.
00:37:28By coming here, you're not one of Michael's friends.
00:37:31You're not the sort.
00:37:32Besides, I noticed there were one or two bits and pieces
00:37:35missing from my collection some weeks ago.
00:37:37I wondered what had happened to them.
00:37:40I suppose my son stole them and sold them to you.
00:37:43I didn't steal them.
00:37:45We won't go into that now.
00:37:48Oh, don't be embarrassed.
00:37:49I'm, of course, delighted to see you,
00:37:50for whatever the reason.
00:37:52Especially when you bring such a lovely companion.
00:37:58I suppose it would be too much to hope
00:38:01that she might be persuaded to pose for me.
00:38:06Now, just a minute.
00:38:07Don't I have any say in this?
00:38:10Of course you do, my dear.
00:38:11It's just our little joke.
00:38:12Mr. Davis, perhaps you'd like to come along to the studio
00:38:14and we can talk.
00:38:16Yes.
00:38:19Oh, yes, do come too, Michael.
00:38:21After all, you'd better protect your business interests.
00:38:23Victor, will you be needing me today?
00:38:24Not until this afternoon.
00:38:26I thought I'd go down to the beach.
00:38:27Good idea.
00:38:28Now, why not take Millie along with you?
00:38:36A hundred for this.
00:38:37A hundred for this.
00:38:39And a hundred and fifty for this.
00:38:41And I'd like some scotch, yeah?
00:38:42No doubt you would.
00:38:43Well, let's see.
00:38:44That's about two thousand pounds you've offered me.
00:38:47It's a fair offer.
00:38:48Is it?
00:38:49Is it indeed?
00:38:49How much profit will you make?
00:38:51Oh, it's difficult to say.
00:38:52And how much profit will my son make?
00:38:56Two thousand pounds.
00:38:58Oh, that's a lot of money.
00:39:00How much did you get for the stuff you stole, eh, Michael?
00:39:03Was robbing your father a profitable business?
00:39:06Oh, for God's sake.
00:39:08What would you call it?
00:39:11I'd call it taking what was owed to my mother.
00:39:16She knew about it?
00:39:17No, no, of course not.
00:39:18I thought not.
00:39:20She hasn't the nerve to stand up to you.
00:39:25You've turned her mind with your bullying, your deceit.
00:39:31Yes, I robbed you.
00:39:33And I'm proud of it.
00:39:35It's the only decent thing I've ever done, and I'm proud of it.
00:39:38And you did it for your mother.
00:39:41For both of us.
00:39:43Your mother.
00:39:45Let me show you your mother.
00:39:48This is how she was
00:39:5130 years ago.
00:39:54And this is how I still see her.
00:39:57Look at her.
00:39:58Isn't she desirable?
00:39:59Wouldn't any man want her?
00:40:02That mad, senile old hag
00:40:04isn't the woman that I knew.
00:40:05Well, there's no need to worry.
00:40:17I shan't go to the police about your other escapade.
00:40:34But it wasn't all one-sided, you know.
00:40:36No?
00:40:36No.
00:40:37Your work sold very well.
00:40:39It should do you a lot of good.
00:40:40In what way?
00:40:42It'll make your name known as an artist.
00:40:44Why should I care about that?
00:40:46Do you think that's what I work for?
00:40:48Well, at least people won't be able to see your work.
00:40:51People?
00:40:53What people?
00:40:54I don't work for people.
00:40:57I preserve the beauty of my models for myself.
00:41:01And myself alone.
00:41:02That's what he could never understand.
00:41:05He wanted me to be rich and famous
00:41:06so that he could bask in my reflected glory.
00:41:09You are mad.
00:41:10And spend my money on his pleasures.
00:41:13Mad as a hatter.
00:41:15Shut up!
00:41:16You know, it's just as well you do live down here.
00:41:20Because if you were in the real world,
00:41:22they'd lock you up.
00:41:24Get out, you sniveling little swine!
00:41:25Get out and never come back!
00:41:27I would have a good mind to have you certified.
00:41:29Then they would lock you up
00:41:30and I could sell your paintings
00:41:32or maybe even burn them.
00:41:34I'll kill you first!
00:41:35For God's sake, Mike!
00:41:36I'm sorry to have spoiled your little scheme.
00:41:44I'm sorry that you should have had to witness that.
00:41:47Well, it's probably my fault.
00:41:49I didn't realise all this would be stirred up when I came.
00:41:53Perhaps I'd better go.
00:41:54Yes, perhaps you had.
00:41:59Wait!
00:42:01About my work.
00:42:03It is just possible I might sell some.
00:42:05That would be...
00:42:06but I should want cash.
00:42:08Strictly cash.
00:42:09Those pictures you selected,
00:42:10how much did they come to?
00:42:12About 2,000.
00:42:14Do you have the money on you?
00:42:15Well, no.
00:42:16I thought I'd make you a cash-down payment
00:42:17and let you have the rest later.
00:42:19No, that won't do.
00:42:20I want cash and I want it today.
00:42:22But I can't raise that kind of money just like that.
00:42:25Besides, it's Sunday.
00:42:26The banks are shut.
00:42:29Do you want the work?
00:42:30Yes, of course.
00:42:32Then you have until tonight.
00:42:33Mmm, that feels good.
00:42:41All right.
00:42:45That's a lovely kimono.
00:42:46Where'd you get it?
00:42:47In a market.
00:42:48Market?
00:42:49Yes, I collect Victorian things.
00:42:50I often go around to sales and markets.
00:42:53You can pick up things very cheaply.
00:42:56It's my hobby.
00:42:57You'd never believe it.
00:42:58That was a pound.
00:42:58No.
00:42:59Yes.
00:42:59Here, now it's my turn.
00:43:01If you like Victorian things,
00:43:02you should come to the boutique.
00:43:04Boutique?
00:43:05Yes, that's the business side.
00:43:06I've got a small boutique.
00:43:07I specialize in Victorian things.
00:43:09I do hate the mark that your bikini leaves,
00:43:11don't you?
00:43:13I sometimes sunbathe with no clothes on.
00:43:16Do you?
00:43:17How would you feel?
00:43:17No.
00:43:19I'd be too embarrassed.
00:43:21But no one can see.
00:43:28Bad luck, darling.
00:43:29Bad luck, darling.
00:43:59Bad luck, darling.
00:44:27You see, I have no choice.
00:44:28I can't trust him. He will keep his word.
00:44:30Not for me to say, old chap. I just wouldn't leave it too long.
00:44:33You'll be taking young Millie with you?
00:44:35No, it's a bit of a long journey there and back.
00:44:37Anyway, she's out with Marcia somewhere.
00:44:39Why, do you think I should?
00:44:40No, no.
00:44:41Oh, she'll be all right.
00:44:42Anyway, she can keep the old man sweet.
00:44:44I think it was a bit of luck bringing her with me.
00:44:46Might even have shrunk the deal my way.
00:44:48Well, she's a pretty girl.
00:44:50Right, well, I should be back about 11.
00:44:53I'll keep an eye on her for you.
00:44:58Without a powder!
00:45:01Well, oh, my God!
00:45:02For the last minute!
00:45:03Oh, I want to die for you.
00:45:05And, oh...
00:45:12Oh, no!
00:45:14Look!
00:45:19Oh...
00:45:25Oh!
00:45:27Such a pity that nice young Mr. Davis had to be rushing off like that.
00:45:50He said he'd be back as soon as possible.
00:45:52And meanwhile, he's left a most charming ambassador in his staff.
00:45:57Not much of an ambassador, I'm afraid. I really don't know anything about art.
00:46:01Oh, I'm sure that can't be so.
00:46:03It is, it's absolutely true. In fact, I feel a bit like a fish out of water.
00:46:10Well, John's always taking me to exhibitions and things, but...
00:46:15Well, somehow, I just know what I like.
00:46:19You must let me teach you.
00:46:22Well...
00:46:24Come with me to my studio. Come now!
00:46:27Well, I said I'd help Bill with the washing up.
00:46:29Well, Marcy can do that.
00:46:31Besides, you really would be doing me a great favour.
00:46:34I do want to make a couple of sketches of you.
00:46:37No, really, I'm no good at that sort of thing. I can't sit still for a minute.
00:46:41Oh, but Millie...
00:46:43Anyway, I've got a terrible headache. I think I'll just go and lie down.
00:46:48Joanna Misson!
00:46:50No, I'm sorry.
00:46:52Hello?
00:46:53Is Mr. Reynolds there?
00:46:54Oh, this is Jim Reynolds. Who's that?
00:46:55Hello, Mr. Reynolds. John Davis here.
00:46:56Who?
00:46:57Who?
00:46:58Davis. We met last year at the RA dinner.
00:47:00Did we? Oh, yes, I remember.
00:47:01I was wondering if you'd care to make a little investment.
00:47:02What sort of an investment?
00:47:03I've discovered this marvellous new artist.
00:47:04Oh, thanks.
00:47:05Now, wait, let me tell you.
00:47:06Sorry, Mr. David.
00:47:07I was wondering if you'd care to make a little investment.
00:47:10Hello?
00:47:15Is Mr. Reynolds there?
00:47:17This is Jim Reynolds. Who's that?
00:47:18Hello, Mr. Reynolds. John Davis here.
00:47:20Who?
00:47:21Davis. We met last year at the RA dinner.
00:47:23Did we? Oh, yes, I remember.
00:47:24I was wondering if you'd care to make a little investment.
00:47:27What sort of an investment?
00:47:29I've discovered this marvellous new artist.
00:47:31Oh, thanks.
00:47:32Now, wait. Let me tell you.
00:47:33Sorry, Mr. Davis.
00:47:35Davis.
00:47:36Well, I'm not interested in that sort of venture. I got my fingers turned to office.
00:47:39That little organ. Sorry.
00:47:54Who is it?
00:47:55I was just wondering how you're feeling.
00:47:57It's still rather bad.
00:47:59Pity. I thought that perhaps you might like a walk by the sea.
00:48:02Did it clear your head?
00:48:04No, I think I'll just rest.
00:48:06You're sure?
00:48:08Yes, I... I'll just lie down.
00:48:13Very well, my dear. I'll call back later and see how you are.
00:48:17What a hurry!
00:48:24Funny Jane leaving so suddenly last night, wasn't it?
00:48:40Was it?
00:48:41Up to your old tricks again.
00:48:43Mind your own business.
00:48:45Anyway, you heard Michael. They had a row.
00:48:47Yes, I heard him. I heard you on the stairs as well.
00:48:50All right.
00:48:51I always said your ears were a little out of proportion, just a little too big.
00:48:57And your mouth. Very lovely, but...
00:49:02Anyway, I'm no longer interested in Jane.
00:49:05And somebody new. Don't tell me. Let me guess.
00:49:08Poor Victor. Playing hard to get, is she?
00:49:11Oh, shut up.
00:49:13Her beauty fascinates me.
00:49:15So young and rich.
00:49:17I want her, and that's all it's true.
00:49:28Oh, I'm sorry.
00:49:30You all right?
00:49:31Yes.
00:49:32Yes.
00:49:33You look upset.
00:49:34Yes.
00:49:37Come.
00:49:44How do you like my little collection?
00:49:49I was out east before the war.
00:49:51Were you?
00:49:52I made a bit of a study of their military history and ancient customs.
00:49:56You see this shield?
00:49:57It's over 300 years old.
00:50:05And that helmet is Tan Sin, second century.
00:50:10At least I think it is.
00:50:12It could be a good fake, I suppose.
00:50:15I say, are you all right?
00:50:28Joanna, I must talk to you.
00:50:30I told you I've done all I can.
00:50:32You'll have to talk to George.
00:50:34And he's not back from Germany.
00:50:35But it's a fantastic opportunity.
00:50:40All right, Brando.
00:50:41Joanna.
00:50:55Yes, John.
00:50:56We've always been, well, close.
00:50:59Have we?
00:51:00I thought so.
00:51:02I've always thought that in you I had a real friend.
00:51:05How nice.
00:51:06Our relationship has been more than just sponsoring beneficiary.
00:51:10You mean it wasn't just my money?
00:51:11Oh, come on.
00:51:12I always think of you as a truly wonderful person.
00:51:14A real commissary of the arts.
00:51:17Sounds very grand.
00:51:19I just thought you fancied me.
00:51:21No.
00:51:22You mean you don't fancy me?
00:51:23Yes.
00:51:24Yes, of course, I...
00:51:26Now, please don't send me up, Joanna.
00:51:28Well, don't try to con me.
00:51:29I'm not.
00:51:30This really is a great deal.
00:51:32Look, this guy...
00:51:34Now, you're boring me.
00:51:35Let's get back to the other subject.
00:51:37What?
00:51:38About your fancying me.
00:52:08Come on over anal.
00:52:09Oh, my man.
00:52:11Mah.
00:52:27Is that this?
00:52:28No.
00:52:30Are you this?
00:52:31Let's go.
00:53:31Are you there, Billy? I should come down if I were you. Those caves lead to the old mine workings. They stretch for miles. If you once get lost in there, you'll never get out.
00:54:01Millie! Millie! Don't be afraid! Millie! Millie! Don't be afraid!
00:54:11Millie!
00:54:13Millie!
00:54:15Millie!
00:54:17Millie!
00:54:18Millie!
00:54:20Millie!
00:54:21Millie!
00:54:22Let's go.
00:54:52Billy!
00:54:53Billy!
00:54:54Billy!
00:54:55Billy!
00:54:56Billy!
00:54:57Billy!
00:55:19Billy!
00:55:24Billy!
00:55:26Millie! Millie!
00:55:56Millie!
00:56:26Millie!
00:56:56Millie!
00:57:01Millie!
00:57:24In.
00:57:26Yes?
00:57:28I...
00:57:30I've tried not to mind about the girls.
00:57:33What girls?
00:57:35All of them, the girls you've had here.
00:57:38Girls? Oh, you mean my models?
00:57:41I've tried not to mind.
00:57:43Mind?
00:57:45An artist must have models.
00:57:47Surely even you understand that.
00:57:50Why, you used to pose for me yourself.
00:57:53No, I didn't.
00:57:55Yes, you did.
00:57:56No, no!
00:58:02A artist doesn't like me.
00:58:04Dorothy, why are you here?
00:58:07Here?
00:58:08Here, in my studio.
00:58:12About this girl.
00:58:14What girl?
00:58:16You mustn't.
00:58:18Ah, do you mean Millie?
00:58:20She's very young.
00:58:22Not so young that she plays with dolls.
00:58:26Who shall?
00:58:27You may poor Jenny cry.
00:58:29Oh, for God's sake, Dorothy.
00:58:31She's going to cry.
00:58:32It's a doll.
00:58:33A plastic doll.
00:58:35Poor Jenny, never mind.
00:58:37A doll, Dorothy.
00:58:38A doll!
00:58:39A cheap, ugly, rotten, plastic doll!
00:58:42There you are.
00:58:43I wondered where you got to.
00:58:45I got lost in the mine.
00:58:46Why did you go in there?
00:58:48It was Victor.
00:58:49He was chasing me.
00:58:50Chasing you?
00:58:51Yes, I went into the mine and he followed me.
00:58:55I think he just didn't want to see you get into any trouble.
00:58:57Why did you started the forge?
00:58:58He asked me to start it up.
00:58:59Just like that, after all these years.
00:59:02I think he didn't want to see you getting into any trouble.
00:59:05Why have you started the forge?
00:59:08Yes, I went into the mine and he followed me.
00:59:12I think he just didn't want to see you get into any trouble.
00:59:17Why have you started the forge?
00:59:19He asked me to start it out.
00:59:22Just like that, after all these years.
00:59:25Says he feels inspired.
00:59:28He must be.
00:59:29It'll be hours before the metal's hot enough.
00:59:33Mind that back.
00:59:34It's full of sulfuric acid.
00:59:39We use it through the process.
00:59:41What do you think of my little toy, my dear?
00:59:43Beautiful, isn't she?
00:59:52I was worried about you in the mine.
00:59:54Several people have been killed there.
00:59:57And one or two lost forever.
00:59:59Well, I'm all right.
01:00:00I see.
01:00:01I was wondering if you've given any further thought to posing for me.
01:00:06I don't really want to.
01:00:09I've seen many beautiful women in my time.
01:00:12But few have had the illuminating loveliness that you possess.
01:00:18You're very flattering.
01:00:19That's a simple truth, my dear.
01:00:22A truth that I must capture in bronze.
01:00:25Well...
01:00:27Think about it.
01:00:33Please...
01:00:55Tom Tom's come to say hello to you. Don't you want to say hello to Tom Tom?
01:01:05Yes, of course. I think he likes you. He bites people he doesn't like.
01:01:12Sometimes he bites Victor. Don't you think we ought to be going downstairs?
01:01:18He's lit the furnace, you know. I never go down to the forge, never.
01:01:24Oh, I think it's very interesting. You mustn't go there.
01:01:28Must you, Tom Tom? Tom Tom says you mustn't go there.
01:01:32My husband loved me once. I'm sure.
01:01:36He didn't just marry me for my money. Do you like my dress?
01:01:40Oh, yes. It's very pretty. Do you like Bill?
01:01:45Well, I... I like Bill. He gives me things.
01:01:49Have you seen my things? They're very pretty.
01:01:53Victor likes pretty things, but he...
01:01:57Do you like Victor?
01:01:59Well, I don't believe it. If you do, you're the only one who does.
01:02:02Tom Tom bites him sometimes.
01:02:05Yes, you said.
01:02:07You must go away. You must go away now.
01:02:10I can't. Why not?
01:02:13Well, for one thing, I haven't got a car.
01:02:16Oh.
01:02:18Marcia wouldn't go away either.
01:02:21I shall be going soon. Tomorrow.
01:02:24Tom Tom bites Marcia sometimes.
01:02:27She doesn't like it.
01:02:30Victor used to paint me once.
01:02:34He's lit the furnace.
01:02:38You?
01:02:40I really...
01:02:44I've brought a present for you.
01:02:46It's very nice.
01:02:48It's on the bed.
01:02:50What do you think of our little Millie?
01:03:04She seemed very nice.
01:03:06Doesn't she remind you of anyone?
01:03:08No, I don't think so.
01:03:09Oh, surely you've noticed.
01:03:10No.
01:03:11What about our Japanese friend?
01:03:13Japanese?
01:03:14Oh, don't be coy, Bill.
01:03:15Surely you've seen them like this.
01:03:16No, they seem quite different to me.
01:03:19Do they?
01:03:36Do they?
01:03:38Oh, perhaps they would to you.
01:03:40The resemblance I see is more than just a physical like.
01:03:45They both have the same magic, that's it.
01:03:48I wonder what happened to her.
01:03:50Yes, the little bitch.
01:03:52Do you know she really thought she was immortal?
01:03:55Did she?
01:03:57Well, a very funny laugh, you know.
01:04:01You can have it if you like.
01:04:05After all your years of devotion to her,
01:04:07I suppose you deserve something.
01:04:09I don't understand why you wouldn't divorce her when I asked you.
01:04:15Simple. I needed her money.
01:04:19And, Bill, she didn't want you.
01:04:24Not then, not even now.
01:04:39No.
01:05:25To me, a beautiful woman is worth more than rubies.
01:05:35Her skin, her hair, her body are the earth, fire and air of creation.
01:05:44To look at her, to caress her, to possess her.
01:05:53This is all I ask of that.
01:05:55Did you know that Millie has agreed to pose for me?
01:05:58No, no, Victor, I forbid it.
01:06:01You?
01:06:03You forbid it?
01:06:05Yes.
01:06:06You can forbid nothing, my dear.
01:06:11Do you think I care about you?
01:06:14I'm finished with you.
01:06:15You're old and ugly.
01:06:19Look at her!
01:06:21And to think I once desired this carrier.
01:06:26You forbid me.
01:06:28You really are mad.
01:06:29Leave her alone!
01:06:42Tenhaven, 357.
01:06:44John!
01:06:44Yes, do you want to talk to Millie?
01:06:52Hello, darling.
01:06:53Where are you?
01:06:54Look, Millie.
01:06:54I've got the money, but the car's packed in.
01:06:56I'm miles away.
01:06:57You must get back.
01:06:58Maybe I can persuade Victor to wait.
01:07:00Oh, for me.
01:07:01What's the matter?
01:07:03Darling, please come and get me.
01:07:05Please.
01:07:06What's the matter?
01:07:07Tell me.
01:07:08It's Victor.
01:07:10Keeps on pestering me.
01:07:11Look, I can't explain now, but please come back.
01:07:13Oh, stop exaggerating.
01:07:14Look, I've mortgaged myself up to the hill for this deal.
01:07:17Don't you get in his way or he might change his mind.
01:07:20This is the biggest deal I've ever had.
01:07:21It means more to me than...
01:07:22Than I do?
01:07:23Don't be silly.
01:07:24This is for both of us.
01:07:26Look, I'm frightened.
01:07:28Just play along with it.
01:07:31Wait a moment.
01:07:33John's car's broken down.
01:07:34Oh?
01:07:36Where?
01:07:36I don't know.
01:07:37You speak to him.
01:07:40Hello, John.
01:07:40Where are you?
01:07:41I'm just outside Bodmin.
01:07:43Oh, that's not so fair.
01:07:44I'll get the van out and come and pick you up.
01:07:46It's only about 30 miles.
01:07:47Yes, I could be there in an hour.
01:07:49I'll wait here.
01:07:50Right.
01:07:54Darling.
01:07:55Now, look, Millie.
01:07:56Don't upset Victor.
01:07:57My whole future depends upon it.
01:07:59Yes, I know.
01:07:59Do you love me?
01:08:00Oh, yes, of course.
01:08:02And promise me you won't do anything to upset this deal.
01:08:05Right?
01:08:05I promise.
01:08:06Good.
01:08:09Well, I'd better be going.
01:08:11I'll just get my coat.
01:08:18Are you going?
01:08:21I'm going to fix John.
01:08:23His car's broken down.
01:08:25I don't want you to go.
01:08:26I can't leave him stuck there, can I?
01:08:28I'm crying when you go.
01:08:29You go to bed.
01:08:31I shan't be lost.
01:08:32I heard you and Victor talking.
01:08:35Heard it?
01:08:35I can hear things in my room.
01:08:41Did you really want to marry me?
01:08:47We'll talk about it later.
01:08:51I've got to go.
01:08:52I think I'll go to my cave.
01:08:54No, I told you.
01:08:56I like my cave.
01:08:58Better stay in the house.
01:09:01In my cave, I saw...
01:09:04Who?
01:09:05Who did you see?
01:09:07Someone.
01:09:08Who?
01:09:10It wasn't Michael.
01:09:11Oh, no.
01:09:14I'd better be going.
01:09:15You really wanted to marry me.
01:09:45Oh, no.
01:10:12Wait.
01:10:12tonight i'm a man inspired after all these barren years you have inspired me
01:10:21it's the truth you must let me capture your beauty and preserve it forever look at the fire
01:10:33watch it burn no one can capture the beauty of the flame because such beauty demands
01:10:42total sacrifice even while it burns it consumes its own heart
01:10:50all great beauty all great art demands this ultimate sacrifice it is the price of immortality
01:11:04let me immortalize you
01:11:09you will pose for me won't you
01:11:16i heard you come up i assume you want to work
01:11:28correct i do how do you want me should i take up this morning's pose no go to bed what
01:11:34don't tell me well you won't be needing me tonight then or ever again what does that
01:11:40mean i thought that was quite plain you don't think you can get rid of me just like that
01:11:45do you why not you were paid well enough paid for posing may be but that's not all i did
01:11:52well that was up to you look i'm not some little art school tart you pick up and throw away just
01:11:57when you feel like it you've had other girls before i haven't mind it doesn't bother me if
01:12:01you just want to sleep with her you're beginning to sound as though you thought you had some say
01:12:05in the matter don't think i haven't and what do you think you can do oh get out before i lose my
01:12:11temper just what has she got that i haven't what's so special about her
01:12:15this girl has an inner radiance such as i've only seen once before hers is a beauty of the soul
01:12:23but it's her soul i shall capture through my art oh very impressive don't think i'm just
01:12:30going to sit back and take it because i'm not
01:12:33merely my love
01:12:43here let me
01:12:46i've been talking to victor about you you have definitely made a conquest
01:12:53i hope that was your intention
01:12:55he just said he wanted to do a few sketches
01:12:59is that what he said nothing else
01:13:01no why well he was going on a great deal about your beauty
01:13:06i must say i agree with him
01:13:09are you going to pose for him
01:13:14well i don't really want to but what can i do
01:13:17he can be very persuasive he frightens me
01:13:21but i expect i'm just being stupid i suppose he told you you inspired him
01:13:25who tells him all that don't worry we all fall for it
01:13:29than i did once how long have you been with him
01:13:33long enough i've never posed for an artist before

01:18:26Oh, there you are.

01:19:38Let's go.
01:20:08Let's go.
01:20:10Millie?
01:20:12Victor?
01:20:13There's nobody here.
01:20:22Forge.
01:20:24Oh, my God.
01:20:36Oh, my God.
01:20:38Oh, my God.
01:20:40Oh, my God.
01:20:42Oh, my God.
01:20:44Oh, my God.
01:20:50Oh, my God.
01:20:52Oh, my God.
01:20:54Oh, my God.
01:20:58Oh, my God.
01:21:04Oh, my God.
01:21:08Oh, my God.
01:21:12Oh, my God.
01:21:16Oh, my God.
01:21:46Oh, my God.
01:22:16Oh, my God.
01:22:46I've finished with the police.
01:22:59They'll have to make a statement in the morning.
01:23:03I just don't understand.
01:23:06Victor, the others, it's terrible.
01:23:10One thing I learned out east,
01:23:13never underestimate the power of revenge.
01:23:16You shouted something.
01:23:19What was it?
01:23:20Chai San?
01:23:21What did that mean?
01:23:23That was the name of the girl.
01:23:28Japanese.
01:23:31As soon as I came through that door
01:23:33and saw Millie in that kimono, I knew.
01:23:37But this Chai San?
01:23:40Oh, yes.
01:23:42Chai San.
01:23:46Victor was obsessed by her.
01:23:49I don't know what happened.
01:23:50He was under her spell for years,
01:23:52then she just disappeared.
01:23:53All that was left was a bronze,
01:23:56his best work.
01:23:58But he said it was cursed, hid it away.
01:24:01This girl was high up in a very sinister religious sect.
01:24:08They believed the spirits of the dead
01:24:11could enter the mind of anyone who wore that kimono
01:24:14and use their body to take revenge.
01:24:18I read once that in extreme cases,
