00:00:00The End
00:00:30The End
00:01:00The End
00:01:29Well, I can't say there's much style about anybody that's gone into the Van Bretts so far.
00:01:46They don't have to look stylish.
00:01:47The Van Bretts have been on Fifth Avenue long before the Vanderbiltes or the Goulds or any of them.
00:01:52Huh? Looks like an old museum to me.
00:01:54Ha! I'd live in a tomb if I had all the millions that I have.
00:01:59I'll be late, Telson.
00:02:00No matter. There's five or ten minutes yet. The wedding's to be as I knew.
00:02:03You know, not a thing in this house has been changed since old Jacob Van Bretts died.
00:02:15I wonder how Victoria would like having her brother married to a nurse.
00:02:19Half-brother, dear.
00:02:20Rip is her half-brother.
00:02:22He's a Van Bretts.
00:02:23Well, it's about time there's some new blood in the family.
00:02:25Where are you going?
00:02:35I'm taking the bridal bouquet to Miss Daryl.
00:02:37That's my place.
00:02:39Louise, the back stairway.
00:02:46Avery, wait a minute.
00:02:48I'll take it.
00:02:49Oh, Mr. Rip, that's bad luck.
00:02:51A groom shouldn't see his bride until the wedding.
00:02:53I'm not superstitious.
00:02:56Who is it?
00:02:57Me. May I come in?
00:02:58Oh, no, you mustn't.
00:02:59Well, then you won't have any polsies to carry to your wedding.
00:03:01And you won't have any bride if you don't let me get ready.
00:03:05Please.
00:03:10You have a lovely hand, Miss Daryl.
00:03:19Oh, Rip, it's gorgeous.
00:03:30Goodbye, darling.
00:03:31Meet you in front of the preacher.
00:03:33Oh, wait a minute, Rip.
00:03:35Here.
00:03:41Thank you, darling.
00:03:42On my soul, where did that come from?
00:03:49It just arrived from...
00:03:51J. Venice.
00:03:53Grapefruit spoons.
00:03:55That's the fourth set of grapefruit spoons.
00:04:05On my soul.
00:04:07Don't put it there.
00:04:08Why?
00:04:09Oh, I should have told you.
00:04:10This contains the ashes of Jacob Van Brett,
00:04:14Miss Van Brett's father.
00:04:18And that holds the ashes of their mother.
00:04:24The real ashes?
00:04:26The actual ashes.
00:04:28Never touch them.
00:04:29Believe me, I won't.
00:04:32Avery, are the guests here?
00:04:41Most of them, Miss Caroline.
00:04:43Oh, Avery.
00:04:45A wedding here.
00:04:47I used to think the first wedding here would be mine.
00:04:50They say romance is catching.
00:04:52Perhaps yours will be the next.
00:04:54Oh, never now, Avery.
00:04:55I'm 42 years old.
00:04:57Oh, you never can tell, Miss Caroline.
00:04:59Only last night I read in the Globe of a lady who is marrying at 65.
00:05:03Oh, Avery.
00:05:04Oh, silly.
00:05:05It's true.
00:05:05Just imagine.
00:05:06And they say she smokes cigarettes.
00:05:08Oh, Avery.
00:05:10Caroline.
00:05:16Caroline.
00:05:18Must I always remind you that you must not gossip with servants?
00:05:20Yes, Victoria.
00:05:22I'm sorry.
00:05:25Sit in your chair, Caroline.
00:05:26I beg pardon, madam.
00:05:33Yes, William?
00:05:34There's a man from Tiffany's here with a package which he wishes to hand directly to Mrs. Van Brett.
00:05:42There is no Mrs. Van Brett at present.
00:05:44No, madam.
00:05:45I...
00:05:46That is, he meant Miss Anne Darrow, madam.
00:05:48Move my chair.
00:05:56Send Tiffany's man here to me.
00:06:02But, but he said especially it was for Mrs. Van...
00:06:06Bring him here.
00:06:07Yes, madam.
00:06:08Yes, excuse.
00:06:11Victoria, it must be the pearls.
00:06:14Rip's gift to his bride.
00:06:16Bride?
00:06:18Oh, Vicky.
00:06:19She saved Rip for us.
00:06:21Dr. Lucas said that...
00:06:22Nursing is her business.
00:06:23Must he marry her for that?
00:06:26Why, he's marrying her because he loves her.
00:06:29She's marrying him because he's a Van Brett.
00:06:32What right is she to intrude into this house?
00:06:35We were perfectly happy until she came here.
00:06:37The man from Tiffany's, madam.
00:06:39This is Miss Van Brett.
00:06:41Yes, I know Miss Van Brett.
00:06:43How do you do?
00:06:45How do you do?
00:06:47Mr. Chase.
00:06:50Yes, that's right.
00:06:51Yes, some years since I've been in this house.
00:06:53All looks just the same.
00:06:56Is this what you came for, Mr. Chase?
00:06:58No, I, uh, I have the Van Brett pearls here for the new Mrs., uh...
00:07:02She's dressing for her wedding.
00:07:05Oh.
00:07:06I'll take charge of them.
00:07:08Yes, yes, quite so.
00:07:10No reason at all why I shouldn't hand them over to you.
00:07:13The, uh, customer, a receipt, madam.
00:07:23We had them in storage since 1885.
00:07:26The year Rip's mother died.
00:07:27They belonged to my mother, not to Rip's.
00:07:37I remember how delighted Mr. Van Brett was every time one of our agents found another pearl of the right size and color.
00:07:44And then we'd both sit down and examine the new Van Brett pearl over a glass of pot or brandy.
00:07:50He told me a great deal about his life.
00:07:52He told me how the noise on Fifth Avenue prevented him from sleeping.
00:07:57That's why he built that mysterious sleeping room.
00:08:00Oh, but...
00:08:09Mysterious?
00:08:10What do you mean?
00:08:12Why, uh, uh, Mr. Van Brett told me that, uh, he'd built a sort of, um, a soundproof room.
00:08:19Ah, he was a wise man.
00:08:20He foresaw the coming of motorcars.
00:08:22I occupy the room my father had.
00:08:24Uh, sort of secret chamber.
00:08:25Nonsense.
00:08:26It's almost as large as this one.
00:08:28Three windows on the avenue.
00:08:30Nothing mysterious.
00:08:31Well, we sometimes did have several glasses of pot or brandy.
00:08:36What is the value of the pearls today?
00:08:38Oh, at least half a million.
00:08:41Good day, Mr. Chase.
00:08:45Good day.
00:08:47Good day.
00:08:48Good day.
00:08:50This priceless heirloom, round the neck of that, that empty-headed upper servant.
00:09:06Oh, but Vicki, father gave them to Rip's mother on her wedding day, and she meant them for his bride.
00:09:12They belong to my mother.
00:09:14They should have come to me.
00:09:16Half a million dollars to a stranger.
00:09:27Where's that string of beads you bought for the housemaid?
00:09:41You wouldn't let me give them to her.
00:09:42Of course not.
00:09:44Get them.
00:09:45Oh, Victoria, you're not going to keep the real pearls from her.
00:10:11In her will, his mother said, to be given to my son's wife.
00:10:15Rip never saw his mother's will.
00:10:17You will hold your tongue.
00:10:19Now go down and tend to the guests.
00:10:20And tell Neff I want to see him immediately.
00:10:26Yes, Vicki.
00:10:38It's 12 o'clock, madam.
00:10:40The minister and Mr. Rip are already downstairs.
00:10:42Who is there playing the organ?
00:10:52The young man the Reverend Dr. Loring brought with him.
00:11:00Who told him to play?
00:11:01I believe the Reverend Dr. Loring suggested.
00:11:03Is that clergyman master in this house?
00:11:06Lock the keyboard of the organ and ring the key to me at once.
00:11:08Very good, madam.
00:11:10Don't cry.
00:11:35The organ didn't break down.
00:11:36Somebody did it.
00:11:37Do you suppose?
00:11:42I am.
00:12:07Good morning.
00:12:09Good morning.
00:12:10Good morning.
00:12:11Miss Caroline insisted that you couldn't wait.
00:12:13Yes.
00:12:14But the wedding has already started.
00:12:16Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God
00:12:19and in the face of this company to join together this man
00:12:22and this woman in holy matter.

00:12:28I am making a new wedding.
00:12:31I am making a new wedding.
00:12:33I am making a new wedding.
00:12:36I am making a new will, Neff.
00:12:38All of Rip's share is to go to the list of hospitals mentioned in the old will.
00:12:42But you're not leaving Rip out altogether?
00:12:44Just that.
00:12:45I thought you were very fond of him.
00:12:47I was.
00:12:49But he's changed.
00:12:50But my dear Miss Victoria...
00:12:51Will you do it or shall I get someone else?
00:12:53Now you've failed me thus far.
00:12:55I sent you to her to buy her off.
00:12:56She wouldn't be bought off.
00:12:58She loves him.
00:12:59Get me that new will.
00:13:00My dear Miss Victoria...
00:13:02Tonight.
00:13:03Very well.
00:13:06I'll go directly and bring it here before dinner.

00:15:29oh rip
00:15:35victoria
00:15:36we're married
00:15:47You didn't come down, Vic.
00:15:51I had important matters to attend to.
00:15:53What about the organ?
00:15:54Well, that was a misunderstanding.
00:15:56Sorry.
00:15:58Tiffany's man left Anne's gift with you.
00:16:00Where is it?
00:16:04A boy taking heirlooms with you across the continent on your wedding trip.
00:16:11Nonsense.
00:16:12Are they so valuable, really?
00:16:14They belong to my mother.
00:16:19Of course.
00:16:21But I should like to see my wedding gift from Rip and try them on with this dress.
00:16:25Why, certainly, dear.
00:16:27Victoria.
00:16:28I was afraid they might be lost in the confusion here today.
00:16:31As trustee of your estate, I've taken charge of them.
00:16:34I've disposed of them safely.
00:16:36Oh, Vic, you sent them away.
00:16:38But why couldn't you have let Anne see them first?
00:16:40Had you arranged with Neff, asked if you could take possession under the will?
00:16:47No, I... I never thought of that.
00:16:51Well, I'll take it up with him while you're gone.
00:16:54This thing must be done legally.
00:16:59But Anne should have a present.
00:17:00I planned for that, dear.
00:17:03Here is a new necklace.
00:17:06Good old Vic.
00:17:08Here you are, dear.
00:17:09Open it.
00:17:10Oh, let me see.
00:17:12Please.
00:17:23These aren't anything.
00:17:24I think they're lovely.
00:17:32Just the length I like.
00:17:35Neff's probably still downstairs.
00:17:36I'll ask him about the will.
00:17:39Back in a moment, dear.
00:17:41Hurry, darling.
00:17:54I think this belongs with the real pearls, Miss Van Brett.
00:18:03It does.
00:18:16Oh, Miss Van Brett.
00:18:18There's plenty of room in the closet off Rip's dressing room.
00:18:21I should like to have our presents put there.
00:18:24These are not your presents.
00:18:30Not ours.
00:18:32Not yours.
00:18:33They've come from friends of the Van Brett.
00:18:38As head of this house, I shall take charge of them.
00:18:54Anne.
00:19:08Anne.
00:19:10John.
00:19:12Where were you?
00:19:13I didn't see you after the...
00:19:14I saw you.
00:19:15I took advantage of being Rip's doctor to come right up.
00:19:17I came to wish you great happiness.
00:19:20Thank you, John.
00:19:22It's not a wedding present.
00:19:24Just a little joke.
00:19:25Oh, John.
00:19:26All your own.
00:19:27Remember how we tramped through the slums when you were a district nurse?
00:19:30You always talked of getting a dog to protect us.
00:19:33Oh, John.
00:19:35How wonderful of you to think of it.
00:19:38Some gold.
00:19:40I'll keep it always.
00:19:41It will remind you of old times.
00:19:43It will.
00:19:45Anne, do you mind if I say something to you?
00:19:48Why not?
00:19:49This family you're married into.
00:19:51Please, John.
00:19:51Oh, I don't mean Rip.
00:19:53He's a fine fellow.
00:19:54You mean Miss Van Brett?
00:19:56Yes.
00:19:57I know she doesn't like me.
00:19:59But it takes two to make a quarrel.
00:20:00Only one to drive a girl like you to the very verge of a reason.
00:20:04You don't count much on my endurance.
00:20:06I intend to win her over.
00:20:07Try it.
00:20:09You underestimate my charm, Dr. Lucas.
00:20:11I'm not likely to do that, Anne.
00:20:15If things do get bad here, telephone me and I'll come over.
00:20:18Aren't you forgetting that I have a perfectly good husband?
00:20:21Yes, and I'm remembering that he's under the spell of this place.
00:20:24He hasn't been able to save himself.
00:20:26Can he save you?
00:20:28I'll give you six months.
00:20:30Six months?
00:20:32November.
00:20:34Come and see us.
00:20:35Thanks, I will.
00:20:38Well, goodbye, Anne.
00:20:39Goodbye.
00:20:40And thank you for the kind things you've done, John.
00:20:44You may kiss the bride.
00:20:47Don't let's rock the boat.
00:20:49It's half past twelve, Mrs. Van Brett.
00:20:52Oh, you'll miss your train.
00:20:53Don't go without telling Rip goodbye.
00:20:55I won't.
00:20:55I'll be waiting downstairs for you with a pocket full of rice.
00:20:58Good.
00:20:58Goodbye.
00:20:59I'll help you change.
00:21:00Oh, thank you, Avery.
00:21:08Avery.
00:21:08I want you.
00:21:11That's all right, Avery.
00:21:13I'm sorry, Mrs. Van Brett.
00:21:24Avery.
00:21:24Where's my soap piece?
00:21:27Can't read my paper without my soap piece, can I?
00:21:30Somebody always takes it.
00:21:31I'll speak to the servants, madam.
00:21:36Please tell Louise to take raffles after his walk.
00:21:38Yes, Mrs. Van Brett.
00:21:45Oh, Vicky.
00:21:45I caught the bride's bouquet.
00:21:47I caught the bride's bouquet.
00:22:18Oh, Rip.
00:22:29I couldn't find F anywhere.
00:22:31It doesn't matter a whit, darling.
00:22:34I'm so happy.
00:22:38The necklace.
00:22:39I could make a row about that, Anne.
00:22:41No rows.
00:22:41Not for you and not today.
00:22:44We must go.
00:22:48But all the same, I don't feel right about it.
00:22:50I'll make it up to you when we get back.
00:22:54I'm going to take care of you for a change.
00:22:57You haven't had a square deal, Rip.
00:22:58This is going to be a new life.
00:23:00I promise it.
00:23:02Rip, darling.
00:23:03Oh, you're sweet.
00:23:07What's this?
00:23:09It's a present.
00:23:10John Lucas gave it to me.
00:23:11Oh.
00:23:13John was pretty much in love with you, wasn't he?
00:23:15Oh, I don't know.
00:23:16Yes, you do.
00:23:17No, he was.
00:23:19And you chose me.
00:23:22Idiot.
00:23:27Well, Raffles, going out for a nice long walk with Louise.
00:23:32Run along.
00:23:34Run along.
00:23:38Vicky, why wouldn't you let them have the music?
00:23:45Vicky,
00:23:46please listen to me.
00:23:50I was too young
00:23:51when you came between Robert and me
00:23:52to know what it meant.
00:23:54But it spoiled my life.
00:23:56Please be kind to them.
00:23:58Don't spoil their lives.
00:24:00I'm ready, Anne.
00:24:01Be with you in a minute.
00:24:04Well, we're off.
00:24:06Almost.
00:24:07The carriage awaits.
00:24:08Oh, Rip, dear.
00:24:08We're going to miss you.
00:24:10Goodbye, Carrie, old dear.
00:24:39Goodbye, Anne, darling.
00:24:45May I go down and see them all?
00:24:47Remember, Caroline,
00:24:48they don't care for you.
00:24:50They have each other.
00:24:52Don't hold them up.
00:24:53Goodbye, Caroline.
00:25:06Goodbye, Anne.
00:25:12Miss Van Brett,
00:25:13may I say goodbye?
00:25:14Goodbye.
00:25:21Goodbye.
00:25:37Anne,
00:25:38we've got to hurry.
00:25:39We'll miss our train.
00:25:39Oh, Vicky,
00:25:46come and see them go.
00:25:49Oh, Vicky,
00:25:50come and see them go.
00:25:51Oh, Vicky,
00:26:03come and see them go.
00:26:15Close those shutters, Caroline.
00:26:16Bye-bye.
00:26:17Bye-bye.
00:26:25Bye-bye.
00:26:28Bye-bye.
00:26:35I told you never to open those shutters.
00:27:00Vicky.
00:27:02No, Vicky, don't.
00:27:03No, Vicky, don't.
00:27:05Don't.
00:27:06No.
00:27:07No, Vicky, I'll be good.
00:27:09Don't be a fool, Carrie.
00:27:11I'm not going to punish you.
00:27:13I'm just putting the pearls away.
00:27:27What is the matter with you, Carrie?
00:27:29I try not.
00:27:31But ever since you locked me in there that day.
00:27:34Nonsense.
00:27:35That was years ago.
00:27:37You had to be punished.
00:27:38Buried alive.
00:27:40No.
00:27:57Listen to me, Carrie.
00:28:00If you don't pull yourself together and stand with me about this marriage, I will put you in there again.
00:28:05No.
00:28:06The vents are all closed now.
00:28:09You'd suffocate.
00:28:10No, Vicky, don't.
00:28:12I'll do as you say.
00:28:14Really, I will.
00:28:15See that you do.
00:28:17Wait till they get back.
00:28:47Wait till they get back.
00:28:49Let's go.
00:28:50Let's go, Carrie.
00:28:51Let's go, Carrie.
00:28:52Come on.
00:29:11What do you think of your husband now?
00:29:13I think he's wonderful, Charlie.
00:29:15We've got to have a lake and two mountains when we get back.
00:29:20Where will you put them? In the backyard?
00:29:22We'll put the backyard in there.
00:29:24Telegram for you, Mr. Van Brett.
00:29:29Here.
00:29:33Thank you, sir.
00:29:37Open it.
00:29:39It's from Vic. I know it. I won't open it.
00:29:41Why not?
00:29:45She wants me to come home. Terribly important things about the estate.
00:30:00That's all right, Rip. It may be really necessary.
00:30:03You've got to shoulder responsibility sometimes.
00:30:06We were going back in three weeks anyway.
00:30:08I know, but...
00:30:09Remember what we agreed, Rip.
00:30:11Not to balk anything she wants if it's at all reasonable.
00:30:14We're going to have a lake, you know.
00:30:16We are. I mean it.
00:30:17And a house on the edge of it.
00:30:25Welcome, Mr. Van Brett.
00:30:27Hello, Mrs. Van Brett.
00:30:28Hello, Avery.
00:30:29Carrie!
00:30:30I'm glad to have you back, my darling.
00:30:33Isn't Anne looking great?
00:30:34Oh, Anne, we've missed you so. You've no idea.
00:30:37Carrie, where's Vic?
00:30:39She's upstairs waiting for you.
00:30:41I have something for you, Caroline.
00:30:42How well you're looking, Mr. Van Brett.
00:30:43Thank you, Avery.
00:30:44Oh, Anne, may I open it now?
00:30:46Of course, Carol.
00:30:47Come on, Anne.
00:30:48Ruth!
00:30:49Oh!
00:30:54Oh, Anne, it's beautiful.
00:30:56Oh, you're so dear to think of me.
00:30:59Oh!
00:31:03Hello, Vic.
00:31:06Hello.
00:31:08Hello, Victoria.
00:31:09Hello.
00:31:11Vicky!
00:31:12See what Anne brought me!
00:31:14I have some important matters to discuss with Rip.
00:31:17Please leave us alone.
00:31:20Yes.
00:31:25You will find your old room, Rip, ready for you and your wife.
00:31:28Why?
00:31:29Why, Anne and I were planning on taking a house up in Westchester.
00:31:34And leave your father's house.
00:31:37Why, Rip.
00:31:38Oh, just to make things easier, I mean.
00:31:40That was a very selfish thing to say.
00:31:43You will stay here and look after Caroline and me.
00:31:46But I didn't intend to be selfish, Vic.
00:31:48Good.
00:31:49I have tended to the estate alone for many years.
00:31:52Now it's your turn.
00:31:54It's difficult work.
00:31:55You'll have to consult with me constantly until you've learned the details.
00:31:58You couldn't live away from here, even if you wished.
00:32:01And I know you don't wish it.
00:32:05I've arranged an appointment for you with Ned.
00:32:07You'll have to go downtown this morning.
00:32:09Good morning.
00:32:10It's, uh, past eleven now.
00:32:19Don't feel badly, Rip.
00:32:21We'll stick it out here for a while.
00:32:23After all, she's old and rather lonely.
00:32:29Now run along.
00:32:40Hurry back, darling.
00:33:00Who opened that window?
00:33:01Why, I did.
00:33:05Perhaps you don't understand.
00:33:07This is not a public living room.
00:33:09It is for the exclusive use of Caroline and myself
00:33:11and those whom we invite to share it with us.
00:33:26This is for you, Victoria.
00:33:31Please are Silva important.
00:33:33We chose no way.
00:33:34Just to taste go back.
00:33:35We chose that light.
00:33:36We chose the glass.
00:34:07Come in.
00:34:09I went to your office, but you'd gone.
00:34:13I had to talk to someone.
00:34:14So you're elected, John.
00:34:16I accept the great honor.
00:34:19I'm about at the end of my rope, John.
00:34:22I can see that.
00:34:26Victoria Van Brett hasn't let up on you for a minute, has she?
00:34:30I've sensed it every time I've seen you since you and Rip came back.
00:34:34You haven't looked happy for weeks, Anne.
00:34:36I mean, Rip still loves you, doesn't he?
00:34:40Of course.
00:34:41You love him?
00:34:43Yes, John. I do.
00:34:45Then you two have got to break away and find a home of your own.
00:34:48That's impossible.
00:34:49Rip says his sisters need him. She's made him believe that.
00:34:52What about you?
00:34:55That's what I'm trying to decide.
00:34:57She'd stop at nothing to get Rip away from me.
00:35:01She doesn't care a rap about his happiness.
00:35:05But I do.
00:35:07Rip's fine, John.
00:35:10He's worth fighting for.
00:35:11And the only way left is for you to stand up for yourself.
00:35:16Invite your friends in.
00:35:17Lead your own life.
00:35:18Fight her!
00:35:25Is this one right upstairs?
00:35:26She went out, I believe, sir.
00:35:27She went out, I believe, sir.
00:35:28I know.
00:35:45Hello, Greg.
00:35:48What brings you home, so, Anne?
00:35:51Jeff and I spent the day going over those Broadway properties.
00:35:53I've climbed more stairs and inspected more lofts and cellars.
00:35:58I'm tired.
00:36:01Vic, let's get an agent to look after it all.
00:36:04I have an agent. You are he.
00:36:07Then let's sell some of those old buildings.
00:36:10Never sell. Never sell, Rip. Not on the island of Manhattan.
00:36:15But the neighbourhood is going down.
00:36:17Nonsense.
00:36:19Look at Park Avenue. Nothing but slums a couple of years ago.
00:36:24Look, Rip. Look at that crowd.
00:36:28People creating trade and a demand for land.
00:36:31People flowing down Fifth Avenue like a river of gold,
00:36:34lapping along our land.
00:36:36Every day they add a greater value to it.
00:36:39But I don't want to fuss with it all. I haven't seen Anne for a month.
00:36:42It's the price you pay for wealth.
00:36:45The price is too high.
00:36:46I want to be happy with Anne while we're young and can enjoy life.
00:36:50I want a home.
00:36:51You have a home.
00:36:53Not really.
00:36:55I mean a place where Anne and I can live our own lives.
00:36:56The Van Bretts have lived in this house for generations.
00:36:59Damn the Van Bretts! What do I care what the Van Bretts have done?
00:37:02I'm a new generation. I live in a new world. I can't breathe in this.
00:37:12I'm sorry, Vic.
00:37:13Excuse me, madam. Is this the cloth you wanted on for dinner?
00:37:21Yes. Don't let it out of your hands until dinner time.
00:37:25But madam...
00:37:26Don't tell me people don't take things in this house.
00:37:28They take them all the time.
00:37:30Then when they find out I've missed them, they get frightened and they put them back again.
00:37:33Yes, Miss Van Bretts.
00:37:35Are we having guests for dinner?
00:37:37Yes. And a surprise for you.
00:37:39What?
00:37:41Gertrude Van Meeres is coming. She's been in Paris ever since your wedding.
00:37:44I didn't know it.
00:37:45Her affection for you has never faulted.
00:37:48Victoria, Gertrude Van Meeres never meant anything to me and you know it.
00:37:51Well, that needn't prevent your being agreeable to her at dinner.
00:37:54Oh, Vic.
00:37:56Do you know where Ann went?
00:37:58Probably with your friend, Dr. Lucas.
00:38:01She's been meeting him regularly.
00:38:03I'm glad she has.
00:38:04So you approve of your wife's affairs with other men.
00:38:07Affairs? What do you mean?
00:38:09I can call it by an uglier name if you wish.
00:38:12This man has an apartment on Central Park.
00:38:15Your wife goes there to be alone with him.
00:38:19You're being ridiculous, Vic.
00:38:25I've always heard the husband was the last person to know.
00:38:32I begin to understand why.
00:38:34Are you insinuating that Ann and Lucas are doing anything wrong?
00:38:36Well, what could be more natural?
00:38:38She was going to marry Dr. Lucas when she met you.
00:38:41She deliberately capitalized on your infatuation.
00:38:44Now she's found out that your money is not hers to spend.
00:38:47It's quite natural she should turn to Dr. Lucas for consolation.
00:38:50I'll believe that when Ann tells me so.
00:38:52She's just come in.
00:38:55Hello, sweetheart.
00:38:57Why don't you ask her?
00:39:04Ask me what, Rip?
00:39:06Rip refuses to believe that you've ever been to Dr. Lucas' apartment alone.
00:39:11Have you?
00:39:15No.
00:39:17I haven't.
00:39:18You see, Vic.
00:39:21How nice.
00:39:23For you.
00:39:25Forget it, darling.
00:39:39Just some of Vic's nonsense.
00:39:44Better put these papers away.
00:39:45I'll be finished in a moment, darling.
00:39:46I'll be finished in a moment, darling.
00:40:00Hey, look who wants to my husband for a house?
00:40:01Who is?
00:40:02How is he?
00:40:03How is he?
00:40:04All right.
00:40:05Good.
00:40:06I have been seeing John Lucas.
00:40:07How is he?
00:40:08He's doing splendid work at the foundation.
00:40:09That's fine.
00:40:14You don't mind my talking things over with him?
00:40:15Of course not.
00:40:19Only...
00:40:20Only what?
00:40:21Well, I wouldn't want you to see him too often.
00:40:26You know how people talk.
00:40:28Oh, that is, well, I wouldn't want you going to his apartment.
00:40:34Alone, I mean.
00:40:36You wouldn't like to have me do that?
00:40:38No.
00:40:40That's where I draw the line.
00:40:41I see.
00:40:47Rip, I...
00:40:47Please don't worry about it, darling.
00:40:49Somebody's been gossiping to Vic and she's made the most of it, that's all.
00:40:53I'd rather hoped if we were nice to her, she might grow reconciled.
00:40:57And we can live in that hope and fear while everything else is sacrificed to it.
00:41:01What else?
00:41:02Our happiness and love.
00:41:04Ann, Vic's got us just where she wants us.
00:41:08We haven't a cent, but what she gives us.
00:41:10She's the sole trustee.
00:41:11It's not the money I care about, it's our happiness.
00:41:16What do you want us to do?
00:41:17Give up the money?
00:41:18Go out and earn our living?
00:41:19Yes.
00:41:20Stand on your own feet.
00:41:22Assert your will.
00:41:25You talk like Lucas.
00:41:28He's down on money.
00:41:29It isn't that I'm down on it.
00:41:31It's when it spoils my happiness that I hate it.
00:41:34I can never make you realize, Rip, what my life is here in this house.
00:41:38I know.
00:41:38I even hesitated to come into this room.
00:41:40She's told me that it's not a public sitting room.
00:41:42She never speaks of me as this has been read.
00:41:44She refers to me to Caroline, to Telson, even to Louise, as that woman.
00:41:47Ann.
00:41:48You should have fought her down long before I asked you to marry me.
00:42:01I was a coward.
00:42:04Oh, Rip.
00:42:05Rip, don't say that.
00:42:07Listen to me.
00:42:08You think you know me.
00:42:10Well, I'm going to tell you some things you don't know.
00:42:12My mother died when I was born.
00:42:14Have you ever thought what my childhood was like here in this haunted house?
00:42:19Haunted?
00:42:21To me, yes.
00:42:27For the first seven years of my life, I slept in that big room on the third floor.
00:42:31In a big black walnut bed with carved faces on the headboard.
00:42:35Victoria brought me up.
00:42:37I seldom saw my father.
00:42:39She used him as a club over me.
00:42:42When I was seven, he died.
00:42:46The day of his funeral, Victoria led me down to the drawing room, where he lay.
00:42:57She took my hand and made me put it in his cold hand.
00:43:03And there she made me promise to keep him in mind always,
00:43:06and to do all the things he'd always wanted me to do.
00:43:08Most of them she made up because it pleased her.
00:43:11I know that now.
00:43:13She told me he was able to watch me from the place he'd gone.
00:43:18After that, she took me into her room to sleep.
00:43:22I had a bed at the foot of hers.
00:43:23Many a night I've lain in there shivering at the thought that those cold eyes of his could look into the keyhole and watch me.
00:43:43I think it amused her.
00:43:46It all went to build her power over me.
00:43:48Rip.
00:43:50Then she set up this shrine here with his ashes.
00:43:52I thought somehow those cold eyes of his were in there watching me.
00:43:56Day by day she broke my will.
00:43:57You mustn't say that.
00:43:58It's true, I tell you.
00:43:59Don't I know it?
00:43:59I've no will left.
00:44:01No, Rip.
00:44:02All you have to do is to assert yourself.
00:44:03Make a scene for once.
00:44:07Do you think I've never tried?
00:44:09I never got anything but humiliation.
00:44:11Why didn't you tell me this before?
00:44:23I wanted you to look up to me.
00:44:24I do, dear.
00:44:31I'm glad you told me.
00:44:33You've cleared up things for me, Rip.
00:44:34A lot of things.
00:44:36I've never had a friend for very long.
00:44:38She always managed to come between us.
00:44:40You had John Lucas.
00:44:42I never dared ask him for this house.
00:44:44Except when I was ill.
00:44:47Begin with him, Rip.
00:44:48Have John here.
00:44:51Oh, what's the use?
00:44:52She won't have it.
00:44:54Excuse me.
00:44:57Miss Van Brett wishes to see you, Mr. Rip.
00:45:01Go, darling.
00:45:02It's all right.
00:45:10What shall I send you up for dinner this evening, Mrs. Van Brett?
00:45:14In my room.
00:45:15Miss Van Brett explained that you preferred staying in your room.
00:45:19Your headache.
00:45:20You may as well tell me, Avery.
00:45:22Miss Van Brett was short a man to balance the table and...
00:45:26Thank you, Avery.
00:45:27You may go.
00:45:29Yes, madam.
00:45:32Avery.
00:45:34Miss Van Brett spoke of needing another man for dinner.
00:45:37Yes, Mrs. Van Brett.
00:45:49Hello.
00:45:51Columbus 3612.
00:45:54Dr. John Lucas, please.
00:45:56John, this is Anvin Brett.
00:46:01Will you come to dinner tonight at 7.30?
00:46:04Of course I mean it.
00:46:06No, I'm just starting the revolution.
00:46:10Good.
00:46:11Oh, John.
00:46:12Don't mention that I've been to your apartment.
00:46:15No, I started to tell him.
00:46:16But Victoria had been lying about us and she'd gotten him terribly upset.
00:46:19John, I know now what I'm fighting.
00:46:22And you'll come?
00:46:23Thank you, John.
00:46:47Who else is coming for dinner, Vic?
00:46:48Uh, Dr. Loring, Neff, Gertrude, you, Caroline, and I.
00:46:54What about Anne?
00:46:55Anne has a headache.
00:46:57You're mistaken, Victoria.
00:47:03I have no headache.
00:47:05I'm feeling especially well tonight.
00:47:07I'm looking forward to the dinner.
00:47:14As you like.
00:47:15I can ask old Lorimer to balance the table.
00:47:20He's always so fond of a square meal.
00:47:22There's no need.
00:47:24I knew you were short a man for dinner, so I called Dr. Lucas and asked him.
00:47:28He's coming.
00:47:31John Lucas.
00:47:32Did you really?
00:47:37How very interesting.
00:47:38Well, I shall look forward to seeing him.
00:47:46That will be a great pleasure.
00:47:54Louise, there's a salad fork missing.
00:47:55I was just going to pull the stopper.
00:48:09I guess Miss Van Ripp would take my head off if she knew it was gone that long.
00:48:13How was the old harrowing feeling tonight?
00:48:16Louise.
00:48:17She was perfectly furious with Mr. Ripp because he couldn't keep his eyes off his wife during dinner.
00:48:22Oh, stop that gossiping.
00:48:30She certainly was throwing Miss Van Ripp at Mr. Ripp's head.
00:48:33Why, tell some.
00:48:36She surely tries to make trouble.
00:48:38Well, at least Miss Van Ripp and Dr. Loring had sense enough to leave early.
00:48:41I wish the others would go.
00:48:43It's the front door.
00:48:47The front door?
00:48:49Why, who can that be at this hour?
00:48:52I don't know.
00:49:08Who do you wish to see?
00:49:10I want to see Miss Victoria Van Ripp.
00:49:11I'm sorry, but she's busy.
00:49:16Miss Van Ripp sent for me.
00:49:19Take these into the library, Ripp.
00:49:22All right.
00:49:25I beg pardon, madam.
00:49:26Yes?
00:49:31Good.
00:49:34Ouch.
00:49:35Ouch.
00:49:41Well, I'm afraid I must run along.
00:49:44I want you to wait a moment.
00:49:45I have something to take up with you.
00:49:47Oh?
00:49:48Anything wrong?
00:49:50I'll explain later.
00:49:53All right.
00:49:57This looks like the end.
00:50:02Check.
00:50:02Don't beat Dr. Lucas.
00:50:06Too badly, Anne.
00:50:18He's certainly gone out of a way to put me at my ease.
00:50:21It's not like her.
00:50:23Do you suppose?
00:50:25What?
00:50:27About this afternoon.
00:50:29Maybe I was foolish.
00:50:31But she was twisting truth into lies.
00:50:33Tell Ripp.
00:50:34I haven't had a chance.
00:50:36She's kept him at her heels deliberately.
00:50:39Every moment.
00:50:42Well, let's save the king.
00:50:46And, uh, you have everything with you?
00:50:49Yes, everything.
00:50:49Uh, would you just wait here a moment until I call you?
00:50:57Yes, madam.
00:51:02Well, Anne, I'm afraid I'll have to be going.
00:51:04I'm sorry, John.
00:51:05Oh, Miss Van Brett, I want to thank you very much for a very pleasant evening.
00:51:09Don't go.
00:51:10I'm afraid I must.
00:51:12I'm taking the train to Philadelphia.
00:51:13I have an operation there at five in the morning.
00:51:15I wish you to remain, Dr. Lucas, for a moment.
00:51:19I'm afraid I must.
00:51:19I'm afraid I must.
00:51:24Yes.
00:51:25Will you sit here?
00:51:27Ripp, you and your wife, there.
00:51:31What's up, a board meeting?
00:51:33Anne, Dr. Lucas, will you please sit here?
00:51:40What's all this about?
00:51:42I told you this afternoon, Ripp,
00:51:45that your wife is having an affair with Dr. Lucas.
00:51:47Victoria, I won't have this.
00:51:49She has been meeting him in the park.
00:51:50Of course she has.
00:51:51If you will allow me to continue.
00:51:54Furthermore, she has been going to this man's rooms.
00:51:56You know that isn't true.
00:51:58I thought we settled back this afternoon.
00:51:59The matter is closed.
00:52:00So you're satisfied with her word?
00:52:02Of course I am.
00:52:05Unfortunately, I am not.
00:52:13Will you come in now, please?
00:52:19This is Mr. Lambert.
00:52:26Just one moment, please.
00:52:28Miss Van Brett, why bring strangers into this matter?
00:52:31Mr. Lambert is no stranger to this matter.
00:52:35You may begin.
00:52:37Miss Van Brett engages the services of our agency
00:52:40September 1st of this year
00:52:41to follow Mrs. Van Brett and report...
00:52:44Your wife, I beg of you...
00:52:45Will you please sit down?
00:52:49Your report, Mr. Lambert.
00:52:52I began following her September 3rd.
00:52:54She met Dr. John Lucas.
00:52:56This man here in the park
00:52:58near the 72nd Street entrance.
00:53:00But what if she did?
00:53:00Quiet, Rick.
00:53:01On October 18th, she met him again.
00:53:04Finally, this afternoon,
00:53:06she entered apartment 106,
00:53:09located at 151 Central Park West,
00:53:12occupied by the said Dr. Lucas.
00:53:14She remained there an hour.
00:53:17There was no third party present.
00:53:19I have three affidavits here
00:53:21from people in the apartment house.
00:53:22But you have no actual proof.
00:53:24No legal proof, no, sir.
00:53:26I am not interested in the legality of it.
00:53:28I'm merely trying to show Rip
00:53:29the kind of woman that he married.
00:53:31If she'll lie to him, she'll receive him.
00:53:33That will do, Mr. Lambert.
00:53:37Well, Rip?
00:53:38Rip, you've known me a good many years.
00:53:41You know that I wouldn't do anything to hurt you.
00:53:43You know that Anne wouldn't either.
00:53:45I'd like to speak to you alone.
00:53:48No, Rip.
00:53:48It's gone too far for that.
00:53:50I want Victoria to hear all I have to say.
00:53:53But first, I want to ask you,
00:53:54do you believe that John and I have deceived you?
00:53:57Anne, I can't believe it.
00:53:58But Anne, you...
00:53:58Yes, I lied this afternoon.
00:54:00I'm not excusing it.
00:54:00I lied.
00:54:01I was frightened.
00:54:02Anne, you don't have to.
00:54:03Yes, I do.
00:54:04The day you told her you were going to marry me,
00:54:05she began a campaign against me.
00:54:07She was determined to break down our love.
00:54:09That's why I went to see John.
00:54:11I had to talk to somebody
00:54:12to see if there wasn't some way
00:54:13to get you out of this terrible house.
00:54:15That's a likely story.
00:54:16It's true.
00:54:16You lied.
00:54:17I meant to explain it later.
00:54:18Is that all you have to say?
00:54:20No, that's not all.
00:54:21I'm glad this has happened, Rip.
00:54:22It's given me the courage I needed.
00:54:24I'm not going to stay in this house another day.
00:54:26You've got to decide now
00:54:27which is it to be, Victoria or me.
00:54:29Just a moment, Rip.
00:54:30You're not going to be taken in by these hysterics.
00:54:33I warned you when you married her.
00:54:34All she's after is your money.
00:54:35Get out of this house if that's what you want.
00:54:47Anne.
00:54:50If you have anything else to say to me,
00:54:52I'll meet you in Neff's office any time.
00:54:54Come on, darling.
00:54:55Let's get out of there.
00:54:56We'll go to the Waldorf
00:54:56on a fresh start in the morning.
00:54:57I trust you realize
00:55:01just exactly what you've done.
00:55:04Good night, Rip.
00:55:10Sorry, John.
00:55:11That's all right.
00:55:12Let me know where you'll be.
00:55:13Of course.
00:55:14Good night, Anne.
00:55:16Good night.
00:55:17Pack her back, darling.
00:55:18I'll be waiting for you.
00:55:24See you at the office in the morning, Rip.
00:55:26Wait a minute, Neff.
00:55:27Walk to the corner with me.
00:55:28I must find a cab.
00:55:36Amen.
00:56:17Wait.
00:56:18You mustn't leave without your pearls.
00:56:21Oh, I don't really care.
00:56:22If you want them, keep them.
00:56:23No.
00:56:24Rip wants you to have them.
00:56:27Come in.
00:56:38You shall have them now.
00:56:48I locked the doors because the servants mustn't know.
00:57:01Even Rip doesn't know what you'll see now.
00:57:09I'm going to show you my treasure room.
00:57:20My father built this soundproof room so he could sleep in peace.
00:57:33He slept in there for over a year.
00:57:37He died in there.
00:57:40Now I use it to store my valuables.
00:57:54I'll show you.
00:57:57Come.
00:57:58Come.
00:57:59Bye.
00:58:00I've got to ask.
00:58:01Bye.
00:58:02Bye.
00:58:03I beg.
00:58:04Lets go.
00:58:09Here.
00:58:14My goes.
00:58:18There are three steps.
00:58:44Victoria!
00:58:48Victoria!
00:58:50Victoria, what is it?
00:58:53What's the matter with you?
00:58:54What is it? I heard a scream.
00:58:55Ridiculous.
00:58:56No, it was here. Anne's voice.
00:58:57You imagined it?
00:58:58Well, I tried to open the door. It was locked.
00:59:00No, it wasn't. I just opened it.
00:59:02You've had a nightmare. Go back to bed.
00:59:05Oh, Vicki, I'm sorry.
00:59:07I don't know what got into me to do that.
00:59:09Well, don't let me hear any more from you.
00:59:18Ann?
00:59:28Ann?
00:59:33Ann?
00:59:36Ann?
00:59:37Ann?
00:59:38Ann, where are you?
00:59:59Victoria?
01:00:00What is it?
01:00:01I can't find Ann. Have you seen her?
01:00:03She, um, went down the stairs.
01:00:08Perhaps she's with Caroline.
01:00:09No, don't disturb, Caroline. She's asleep.
01:00:12I saw Ann go down the stairs.
01:00:30Caroline, I don't want you telling anyone about your nightmare.
01:00:43Do you understand?
01:00:44Yes, Vicki.
01:00:45Not a word.
01:00:46Your queer notions will get you into trouble.
01:00:49Into a lunatic asylum.
01:00:50I tell you, she's not here now.
01:00:52Oh, nonsense, nonsense.
01:00:53People don't just disappear.
01:00:55I have a question, Caroline.
01:01:04She's not seen Ann.
01:01:07I'm going to call the servants.
01:01:08No, Ray.
01:01:10I have my own ideas about Ann's disappearance.
01:01:13What?
01:01:15She's left you.
01:01:17Gone with Dr. Lucas.
01:01:18That's a lie.
01:01:19Ann stuck with me even during your persecution.
01:01:21She wouldn't walk out on me now.
01:01:23Why not call Lucas?
01:01:24Perhaps she told him something.
01:01:27Maybe he can help us.
01:01:30Hello?
01:01:31Hello?
01:01:32Columbus 3612.
01:01:34A Dr. John Lucas, please.
01:01:38What?
01:01:40Are you sure?
01:01:43Thanks.
01:01:47Well?
01:01:48He's gone out of town.
01:01:49He's gone out of town.
01:02:01Morning paper, madam.
01:02:08Thank you, William.
01:02:09Victoria.
01:02:10I'm reading.
01:02:11Excuse me.
01:02:12Where are you going?
01:02:13Nowhere.
01:02:14Oh, Mickey, I can't sit still any longer.
01:02:15I'm so nervous.
01:02:16What about?
01:02:17Ann.
01:02:18It's so terrible not to know what's become of her.
01:02:19Sit down, Caroline.
01:02:20I don't want you running around the house.
01:02:22Mickey, what's that?
01:02:23Those idiots sounding the walls.
01:02:24Victoria.
01:02:25The more I think of it, the more certain I am that that scream lies in the house.
01:02:27Oh, I'm so nervous.
01:02:28What about?
01:02:29Ann.
01:02:30It's so terrible not to know what's become of her.
01:02:31Sit down, Caroline.
01:02:32I don't want you running around the house.
01:02:33What about?
01:02:34Ann.
01:02:35Ann.
01:02:36What's that?
01:02:37Those idiots sounding the walls.
01:02:51Victoria, the more I think of it, the more certain I am that that scream last night was
01:02:53Ann's voice, not mine.
01:02:54Impossible?
01:02:55Mickey, you don't think she could have gotten down in the vault, do you?
01:03:04Julia, do as I say, if there's any news of her, I'll tell you.
01:03:07Oh, Viggy, please. Do as I say.
01:03:15Come in.
01:03:19Ah, Telson.
01:03:26I am closing the house, Telson.
01:03:29Miss Caroline and I, and probably Mr. Riff, are going abroad for a year.
01:03:32Therefore, I am dismissing the entire staff.
01:03:34They will leave immediately.
01:03:36Here are their wages to date with one month extra in lieu of notice.
01:03:40But, madam, I...
01:03:41I gave you two months extra, Telson, and I'll write you some references today.
01:03:45Yes, madam. Very good, madam.
01:03:50Well? Have you found her?
01:03:53No, not a trace. We've searched the entire house.
01:03:56The attic, the cellar, every closet, every storeroom.
01:04:00There's only one thing left to do.
01:04:02I'm going to telephone the police.
01:04:04How they'll laugh at you when they find her with her lover.
01:04:08It isn't true. I've called Lucas every hour.
01:04:10When he gets back...
01:04:11You won't find Lucas until he's had time to invent a good story.
01:04:14I won't. I can't believe it.
01:04:16You'd better wait for the afternoon mail.
01:04:18She may have written to you.
01:04:19A few hours can't make any difference.
01:04:21Yes, you might do that, Riff.
01:04:23Neff, the old elevator shaft. We haven't looked there.
01:04:35Are you quite sure you can't tell us anything further?
01:04:38You'll never find her in this house.
01:04:50Carole! I told you to stay in your room.
01:04:52Yes, I know, Victoria. But I've been thinking...
01:04:55Why don't we tell them about the vault?
01:04:57No, we can't do that. Only you and I know about that room.
01:04:59The van might have gone down there somehow.
01:05:01I'm so frightened. Why don't we tell them?
01:05:03You shan't. You mustn't.
01:05:05You fool. How could she open it?
01:05:07Vicky, you did it to me.
01:05:09You wouldn't put her in there, would you?
01:05:11You dare as much as I suggest to anyone that I've done that...
01:05:13and I'll put you in there again.
01:05:15Oh, no, Vicky, don't. I hang my arm letting go.
01:05:17Don't you dare mention the vault.
01:05:19Not to Rick, not to anyone. Do you promise me?
01:05:21Yes, I promise.
01:05:23Then get back in your vault.
01:05:25Morning, Pelsen.
01:05:27Good morning, Dr. Lucas.
01:05:29Mr. Van Bredjen.
01:05:31John!
01:05:32Hello, Rip.
01:05:34Anne's gone.
01:05:35I know. I telephoned my office and got your message.
01:05:37I took the first train here.
01:05:39John, if you know where she is, tell me.
01:05:41I don't know, Rip.
01:05:43I know. I telephoned my office and got your message.
01:05:45I took the first train here.
01:05:47John, if you know where she is, tell me.
01:05:49I don't know, Rip.
01:05:55She's not the sort of girl who'd leave you like this.
01:05:57I can't understand what's happened to her, John.
01:05:58You sure she left the house?
01:05:59Oh, I don't know.
01:06:00I went to the corner last night to get a cab,
01:06:01and when I came back, she was gone.
01:06:02You questioned all the servants?
01:06:04Yes.
01:06:05They know nothing.
01:06:06Why didn't you call the police the first thing?
01:06:10He insisted that she'd left me, John.
01:06:12Oh, I don't believe that.
01:06:13Did Miss Caroline know anything?
01:06:14Victoria questioned her?
01:06:15Oh, Victoria.
01:06:16Oh, Victoria.
01:06:18Oh, Victoria.
01:06:19Oh, Victoria.
01:06:20Oh, Victoria.
01:06:22Oh, Victoria.
01:06:22Ah, Victoria.
01:06:23Oh, I'm sorry.
01:06:24Ah!
01:06:25What are you talking about?
01:06:26Ah.
01:06:29Oh, I don't believe it.
01:06:31Oh, Victoria.
01:06:32Oh, Victoria, I questioned her.
01:06:34Oh, Victoria.
01:06:34Oh, I mean, how do you think?
01:06:35I've got all the construction controls.
01:06:36Here we are, Dr. Lucas.
01:06:38How'd it do?
01:06:40I'd like to talk to Miss Caroline.
01:06:42She's in her room, I expect.
01:06:43Caroline is upset. She can't tell you anything.
01:06:46Why, the door's locked.
01:06:48From this side.
01:06:53Carrie, Carrie, we want to ask you a few questions.
01:06:56Sit down here, dear.
01:06:58Did you go round to your room last night?
01:07:00Yes.
01:07:01When your door is closed, can you hear conversation going on in here?
01:07:04Well, I can hear an unusual noise.
01:07:06What do you mean, Carrie?
01:07:08Like a loud scream.
01:07:09You could hear a scream through the door?
01:07:11Yes.
01:07:12How do you know that, Caroline?
01:07:13Well, I don't know.
01:07:14But you did hear a scream.
01:07:16Well, no. That is just...
01:07:18Caroline!
01:07:19No. No, I didn't.
01:07:26Why, Carrie, dear, what's the matter?
01:07:28You're all right. No one's going to hurt you.
01:07:30What's happened to you, dear? Tell me.
01:07:31She had a nightmare. That's what happened.
01:07:33Yes, but who screamed?
01:07:34She did.
01:07:35You heard her?
01:07:36Certainly I did.
01:07:37She's always had nightmares.
01:07:41Wait a minute. Carrie, tell me about your nightmare.
01:07:44Well, last night, I woke bolt upright.
01:07:47A terrible cry.
01:07:49I thought someone was calling you.
01:07:52I ran to the door and I tried to get it open.
01:07:54I thought it was locked.
01:07:55Was it?
01:07:56Oh, no. Victoria opened it easily.
01:07:58She couldn't open it because she was half asleep.
01:08:00What happened then, Carrie?
01:08:02Well, then I saw her bag.
01:08:04You saw Anne's bag in here?
01:08:06Yes.
01:08:07I thought you said Anne didn't come into this room.
01:08:09How did her bag get in here?
01:08:10I refuse to answer these silly questions.
01:08:12You can talk here an hour. You'll talk with the police.
01:08:13You dare to threaten me?
01:08:15It's no threat. It's what must inevitably happen.
01:08:17Now, don't get excited, Caroline.
01:08:19Go on.
01:08:20Carrie, why did you want to get in here?
01:08:23Well, because I was frightened, I guess.
01:08:25You had a nightmare.
01:08:27Did they always frighten you so?
01:08:28Well, I didn't think this was a nightmare at first.
01:08:31You thought the scream came from someone else.
01:08:33Yes.
01:08:34You thought it came from in here.
01:08:35No.
01:08:36But you ran to the door because you thought something had happened in here.
01:08:38Yes.
01:08:39You struggled with the handle, but you couldn't get it open.
01:08:40Then suddenly Victoria opened it and let you in.
01:08:42And you asked, what's the matter?
01:08:43And she told you that you had a nightmare.
01:08:45That it was you who screamed.
01:08:46Yes.
01:08:47Whose voice did it sound like?
01:08:48Was it Anne's?
01:08:49Oh, no.
01:08:50Don't listen to her.
01:08:51She's mad. She's insane.
01:08:52No, I'm not.
01:08:53I'm not insane.
01:08:54You shan't say it.
01:08:55Quiet, Caroline.
01:08:56I won't be quiet.
01:08:57I'm going to tell.
01:08:58Riz, I'll show you where she is.
01:09:01She's here.
01:09:02She's here.
01:09:03Where, Caroline?
01:09:04Here.
01:09:09It won't open.
01:09:10It's locked.
01:09:11Do you know the combination?
01:09:12No.
01:09:13Only Victoria knows.
01:09:16Open it.
01:09:19You can't make me.
01:09:20I'll kill you if I have to.
01:09:21Open that door.
01:09:22I'll rip my arm.
01:09:24I'll rip my arm.
01:09:25Then open it.
01:09:26There's no time to lose.
01:09:27Open it, Victoria.
01:09:28I'll let it go.
01:09:29I'll open it.
01:09:50Easy.
01:09:56Hurry!
01:10:02I am.
01:10:05Put her here.
01:10:06Get some brandy.
01:10:08Put her here. Get some brandy.
01:10:11Is she all right, John? Is she all right?
01:10:14We'll see in a minute.
01:10:15Put her head down here. Easy now. That's right. Now.
01:10:33He's only fainted.
01:10:34Oh, darling.
01:10:35No, no, Rip. Keep her head down.
01:10:38Come on.
01:10:41Sweetheart.
01:10:42Here's the brandy duck, look.
01:10:47Darling, it's all right. We're all here.
01:10:52Here, drink this.
01:10:58Come on. Drink it.
01:11:02That's right.
01:11:08Oh!
01:11:09Anne, darling, it's all right.
01:11:10John, is she strong enough to go?
01:11:11I think so, yes.
01:11:12Come on, darling.
01:11:13I'm going to take you away from here right now.
01:11:16Come on.
01:11:25Carrie, do you want to come with us?
01:11:26Oh, yes, of course, Rip. If you want me to.
01:11:28Get your coat.
01:11:29No.
01:11:30No.
01:11:31No, you can't stop me now. I'm going with Rip.
01:11:44Very well. You can go. I'm not stopping you.
01:11:50Then let me go.
01:11:51Just a moment, Caroline. In his haste, Rip forgot the pearls.
01:11:55Surely you wouldn't like Anne to leave without the pearls.
01:11:56No. We can get them some other time.
01:11:58Well, I'd like her to have them now. We'll go in together.
01:12:01No. Come, Caroline. Don't be afraid.
01:12:03No, I can't.
01:12:04Yes, you will.
01:12:05Come in, Miss Caroline.
01:12:06Come in, Caroline.
01:12:07No.
01:12:08Don't be afraid.
01:12:09No, I can't.
01:12:10Yes, you will.
01:12:11Come in, Miss Caroline.
01:12:12Now then.
01:12:13Come in.
01:12:14Come in.
01:12:19Come in.
01:12:20Come in, Miss Caroline.
01:12:21Now then.
01:12:24Now then.
01:12:27Come in.
01:12:29There.
01:12:30You can get them to leave without the pearls.
01:12:31No.
01:12:32We can get them some other time.
01:12:34Well, I'd like her to have them now.
01:12:36We'll go in together.
01:12:37No.
01:12:38Come in, Miss Caroline.
01:12:39I, Victoria Van Brett, convey and set over unto Rip Van Brett any and all of the estate, real and personal.
01:13:09Now, sign it.
01:13:19I refuse.
01:13:24Very well. I shall prefer charges against you this morning.
01:13:28You wouldn't dare.
01:13:30Assault with murderous intent is a criminal offence.
01:13:39I'm sorry.
01:13:41I'm sorry.
01:13:43I'm sorry.
01:13:45I'm sorry.
01:13:47I'm sorry.
01:13:53I'm sorry.
01:13:55I'm sorry.
01:13:57They forgot the pose.
01:14:27My beard.
01:14:30My beard.
01:14:32They'll never pine them.
01:14:36Again.
01:14:40I'm sorry.
01:14:42My beard.
01:14:44My beard.
01:14:50They'll never pine them.
01:14:55Again.
01:15:00We're waiting for you, Miss Avery.
01:15:25We're waiting for you, Miss Avery.
