Crimes at the Dark House (originally titled The Woman in White) is a 1940 British film directed by George King and starring Tod Slaughter, Sylvia Marriott and Hilary Eaves. It was written by Edward Dryhurst, Frederick Hayward and H.F. Maltby. Based on the 1860 novel The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins.
Plot: A villainous madman murders the wealthy Sir Percival Glyde in the gold fields of Australia as he sleeps, and assumes his identity in order to inherit his estate in England. On arriving in England, he schemes to marry an heiress for her money. With the connivance of the enigmatic Dr. Fosco, he embarks on a killing spree targeting those who suspect him to be an imposter and who may prevent him from becoming the lord of the manor.
Tod Slaughter has a part after his own heart, and he enters into it with immense gusto. His flamboyant and bombastic portrait of the wicked man is delightful, and he is helped by effective dialogue and clever support from Hay Petrie, whose Dr. Fosco is almost equally impressive. The period settings are admirable and help greatly in the creation of the right atmosphere. Those who enjoy this type of melodrama will find it one of the best examples of its kind which has yet been produced.

00:05:38Without a minute short
00:05:39I was going to do
00:05:40In the morning,
00:05:44Why?
00:05:46Why may I only be out
00:05:47because she's a parliament.
00:05:48From now on she's a chamber man.
00:05:49Mr. Merriman?
00:05:51Your old family lawyer.
00:05:53One of the few people who do remember you when you were a boy.
00:05:56Oh, yes, of course. Dear old merry boy.
00:05:59Man. Mr. Merriman, Mr. Percival.
00:06:01Oh, yes, of course. Merriman.
00:06:04So he knew me when I was a boy, did he?
00:06:08Yes. Will you see him?
00:06:10No, no, I don't think I'll bother with him now.
00:06:13He's waiting for you in the library.
00:06:15Well, I might as well get it over.
00:06:18Where do you say he is?
00:06:20In the library.
00:06:21And the library is still in the same place?
00:06:26Yes, Sir Percival.
00:06:28Perhaps it would be as well if you would go in first.
00:06:36Sir Percival Glide, Mr. Merriman.
00:06:38Hearty greetings, Sir Percival.
00:06:40How do you do?
00:06:41Pray be seated, sir.
00:06:42I trust your long and arduous journey has not touched you unduly.
00:06:45I can best answer your question, sir, by reminding you that I've spent the greater part of my life in the wilds.
00:06:50Of course, of course.
00:06:51Now, let me see.
00:06:52How many years is it since we last met?
00:06:55Oh, a great many, I'm afraid.
00:06:57I'd never have known you again.
00:06:58No, and I should never have known you.
00:07:00But their time does alter one, doesn't it?
00:07:03Yes, yes.
00:07:04Well, it remains for me to hand everything over to you and give you an account of my stewardship.
00:07:08A just and an honest one, I know.
00:07:11My dear sir.
00:07:12My very dear sir.
00:07:14I have here a copy of your account at the banking house of Stukeley, Cobbled and Cobbled.
00:07:19You will see here that your balance stands at fifteen thousand, seven hundred and eighty-two pounds, eighteen shillings and fivepence.
00:07:26Is that so?
00:07:27I would point out the reason it stands at this figure is that all your interests have been paid.
00:07:32Interests?
00:07:33On the mortgages.
00:07:34My mortgages?
00:07:35Oh, then the interests are all in.
00:07:37No.
00:07:38All out.
00:07:39Why?
00:07:40What do you mean?
00:07:41Is it possible you don't know that his house is mortgaged?
00:07:44Mortgaged?
00:07:45Yes.
00:07:46And the furniture.
00:07:47Furniture?
00:07:48And the estate.
00:07:49Estate.
00:07:50And all the timber on the estate.
00:07:51And, well, in fact, everything's mortgaged.
00:07:53Then what did my father leave me?
00:07:55He left a debt of fifteen thousand, seven hundred and eighty-two pounds, eighteen shillings and fivepence.
00:08:01Then why not pay it off with that?
00:08:03But, but that is the debt.
00:08:05It's not a credit balance, my dear sir.
00:08:08It's an overdraft.
00:08:09What?
00:08:10Mr. Cobbled was delighted to hear you were returning.
00:08:12It's a bigger overdraft than he likes.
00:08:14But with the vast fortune you've accumulated in the gold fields of Australia, you will soon wipe that off.
00:08:19And who told you I'd accumulated a vast fortune?
00:08:22But haven't you?
00:08:23I have not.
00:08:24Your father.
00:08:25It was his cherished hope that you'd come back and place Blackwater on its feet again.
00:08:28Oh, it was, was it?
00:08:29That, I feel sure, is the reason he repented of his attitude towards you.
00:08:32I have but sixty sovereigns as a reward for years of sweat and privation.
00:08:37Yes, my sir.
00:08:38Oh, a fine homecoming for a man, I must say.
00:08:41So far, Sir Percival, you've only heard the debit side of your account.
00:08:44We haven't yet touched on the credit side.
00:08:46Is there a credit side?
00:08:48Before we proceed any further, Sir Percival, it's my duty to satisfy myself formally as to your identity, or merely as a matter of legal form, of course.
00:08:56Well, apart from this sign of ring, there are several letters to my father and my luggage, together with a letter from you notifying me of his death.
00:09:02And the oval-shaped mole on your right hip.
00:09:04Damn it, sir, are you asking me to remove my trousers?
00:09:07We will leave the question of the mole, won't you, Sir Don?
00:09:10Now, tell me about this credit side.
00:09:12Doubtless you will remember your father's very old and dear friend, Mr. Frederick Fairley.
00:09:17Oh, yes, yes, of course.
00:09:19It was your father's dearest wish that you should marry Mr. Fairley's niece in Ward, Laura.
00:09:23Very kind of him, I'm sure.
00:09:25The lady is young and comely, I hope.
00:09:28Yes, she is young, barely of age.
00:09:30As to whether she is comely, I cannot say.
00:09:32I've not met her.
00:09:33But that point is of no importance.
00:09:34May not be to you.
00:09:36It is of importance to me if she's to share my bed.
00:09:40What I think is important is that her father left her a hundred thousand pounds.
00:09:44The devil he did!
00:09:46Do you mean she's to take my overdraft in exchange for me?
00:09:49It would be wiser not to mention the overdraft to Mr. Fairley until after you are married.
00:09:54Hasn't the young lady anything to say about it?
00:09:56Dutiful and obedient young ladies do as their guardians wish.
00:09:59I only trust that you will do as your father wished.
00:10:02A hundred thousand!
00:10:04How could I disobey my dear old father?
00:10:08When may I see the young lady?
00:10:10Here is Mr. Fairley's address.
00:10:12Write and tell him at your home
00:10:14and ask his permission to pay your addresses to his niece.
00:10:23I'm wondering what uncle will think of this when he sees it.
00:10:26My dear Laura, has uncle ever said he was pleased with anything we say or do?
00:10:30No.
00:10:31Then why wonder what he will think of your painting?
00:10:33Mr. Hartwright is pleased with it.
00:10:35During the three months Mr. Hartwright has been your tutor.
00:10:39Has he ever been displeased with anything you say or do?
00:10:42Really Marion, I...
00:10:44Marion, I'm going to sneeze.
00:10:49Achoo!
00:10:50Louis the inhalant, quick!
00:10:52How dare you disseminate your beastly germs in this room?
00:10:57If you have a cold, stay in bed.
00:10:58Don't give it to me.
00:10:59Am I not ill enough already?
00:11:02Always there's some conspiracy going on in this wretched house.
00:11:06Do you all want to hound me into a madhouse?
00:11:08You know very well that the slightest sound runs through me like a knife.
00:11:12And yet you, Mr. Hartwright, must go and bang the door!
00:11:14I'm very sorry, sir.
00:11:15I was under the impression that I closed it quite quietly.
00:11:17Don't argue with me.
00:11:18Don't argue.
00:11:19I'm far too ill.
00:11:20Far too ill.
00:11:21My smelling's false, Louis.
00:11:22My smelling's false.
00:11:23Well, Miss Laura, and how's the work progressing?
00:11:26Ah, a little indefinite, I feel,
00:11:29but shows a decided improvement.
00:11:31Your inept pupil.
00:11:32As I am paying for my niece's tuition,
00:11:36perhaps I may be permitted to see for myself
00:11:38what progress, if any, they are making.
00:11:41But certainly, sir, of course.
00:11:48Miss Laura's work shows decided improvement
00:11:50in a marked degree of talent.
00:11:52Well, it shows up in a marked degree
00:11:55the young lady's sad defects
00:11:57and that these lessons are a waste of time and money.
00:12:00Now leave me, all of you.
00:12:03Leave me in peace.
00:12:05You fidget me.
00:12:06You set my nerves on age.
00:12:09Laura, you will stay behind.
00:12:17Your memory is not faulty.
00:12:19I don't think so, Uncle Frederick.
00:12:21Then you will not have forgotten your father's wishes
00:12:24that you should marry Percival,
00:12:26the son of the late Sir Felix Clyde.
00:12:28I had not forgotten.
00:12:30Well, Sir Percival Clyde is coming here shortly
00:12:32to pay his addresses to you.
00:12:34But, Uncle, I don't want to think of marriage yet.
00:12:37I knew we should have trouble with you.
00:12:39You're always troublesome governesses, drawing masters.
00:12:43I never know whether I'm on my head or my heels.
00:12:46I will receive Sir Percival Clyde at his convenience.
00:12:49Now, please, go away.
00:12:51You're setting my nerves on edge again.
00:12:55Louis, my smelling salts.
00:12:58Do not those salts, idiot.
00:13:02The other, the lavender salts.
00:13:04Was there ever such an unfortunate man as me?
00:13:08Fool of a valet and a heartless and unmanageablenesses.
00:13:14Oh, yes.
00:13:15Oh, yes.
00:13:20Ah, and pray where are you going to, my pretty maid?
00:13:23I'm going to empty the slots, sir.
00:13:25Slots?
00:13:26You'll find you've got a lot of new duties.
00:13:28Now you're transferred to this part of the house.
00:13:31Yes, Sir Percival.
00:13:32Then tell me, there's a short cut through the fields to the village.
00:13:35You know it, eh?
00:13:37Yes, Sir Percival.
00:13:38I've forgotten its exact whereabouts.
00:13:40The moon will be full tonight.
00:13:42Would you show me the cut?
00:13:44Yes, Sir Percival.
00:13:46Splendid.
00:13:47Then meet me at the lower gate tonight at eight.
00:13:50And if you're the sensible little girl that I think you're going to be,
00:13:54that old scarecrow of a housekeeper,
00:13:56shall find some more pleasant duty for you
00:13:59for these dainty little fingers.
00:14:01Excuse me, Sir Percival.
00:14:02What is it?
00:14:03Lady and gentlemen to see you, Sir Percival.
00:14:06Dr. Isidore Fusco?
00:14:08Who is he?
00:14:09I don't know.
00:14:10I've never seen him before.
00:14:11And the lady whose name he's written here,
00:14:13Mrs. Catherick.
00:14:14Who is she?
00:14:15I can't say.
00:14:16I've shown them into the library.
00:14:18Come to pay their respects to the new squire, no doubt.
00:14:36I would that I could have been spared this ordeal.
00:14:43Oh, come, come, my good lady.
00:14:45The fact that I, Fusco, am here to speak on your behalf,
00:14:47to shoulder your troubles, in fact,
00:14:49is a guarantee that your feelings will be respected to the utmost.
00:14:52Have I the honor of addressing Sir Percival Glyde?
00:14:56I am Sir Percival Glyde at your service.
00:14:58And I am your humble and obedient servant,
00:15:00Isidore Fusco, Doctor of Medicine.
00:15:02And the lady?
00:15:03Well, I wrote the name on my card.
00:15:06I thought it might be familiar to you.
00:15:08Mrs. Catherick?
00:15:11Well, can I assist your memory with one little word?
00:15:15Love?
00:15:16A youthful romance?
00:15:18An early peccadillo?
00:15:19What?
00:15:20Resulting in the, ah, the birth of a child?
00:15:24A child?
00:15:25A female child, born eight months after you set sail for Australia.
00:15:29And what has that to do with me?
00:15:31Well, really, sir, it's not to question somebody indelicate.
00:15:35Are you accusing me of being the father of this lady's child?
00:15:39Mrs. Catherick brings the charge, sir, not I.
00:15:42A foul, beastly lie.
00:15:44I've had the law upon you,
00:15:45for I have never set eyes on this woman before.
00:15:48I withdraw the charge.
00:15:51The gentleman speaks truth.
00:15:53I have never set eyes on him before.
00:15:56Oh, so you've changed your tune.
00:15:58That is well for you, madam.
00:16:00I am bewildered, completely bewildered.
00:16:03What does all this mean?
00:16:05That he is not the father of my daughter.
00:16:07But you assured me that Sir Percival Glynde?
00:16:09I did, but he is not Sir Percival Glynde.
00:16:12What devil are you talking about?
00:16:14Have you taken leave of your senses?
00:16:16Are you quite sure?
00:16:17Are you positive you're not making a grave mistake?
00:16:19You realize that you're branding this gentleman as an imposter?
00:16:22Oh, the woman is mad.
00:16:24She should be in an asylum.
00:16:25The gentleman can prove me wrong by letting me put to him a few simple questions.
00:16:30Questions that the real Sir Percival Glynde would have no difficulty in answering.
00:16:35And I refuse to be questioned or cross-examined.
00:16:38This is either insanity or blackmail.
00:16:40I leave others to determine which.
00:16:42Meanwhile, leave my house at once.
00:16:45Both of you.
00:16:57Show these people out.
00:17:05I, um, I forgot my cane.
00:17:18Excuse me.
00:17:26Would it not be better to take me into your confidence?
00:17:28Have a drink.
00:17:29No, thank you.
00:17:30I do not indulge.
00:17:31And I do not trust teetotalers.
00:17:33I was going to say that I do not indulge at this time of day.
00:17:36Kindly inform me as briefly as you can.
00:17:38What brought you and your female companion here?
00:17:40I will be discretion itself.
00:17:42You will have gathered that over 20 years ago the lady was very much enamored of, uh, yourself.
00:17:47And there was a daughter.
00:17:48Yes, I've gathered that.
00:17:50What's she like?
00:17:51Oh, beautiful.
00:17:52Beautiful, but, um, highly strung.
00:17:54Occasionally somewhat unbalanced, poor thing.
00:17:57Mental?
00:17:58At times, at others, as normal as you would be.
00:18:00She's safely out of the way.
00:18:01I am a mental specialist, sir.
00:18:03She is in my private asylum.
00:18:04And what is the nature of her madness?
00:18:06A relentless hatred of her father, whom she considers has wronged her mother past forgiveness.
00:18:11She is safely guarded, I hope.
00:18:13All my patients are.
00:18:14And, uh, my charges are very modest.
00:18:18Don't look to me for payment.
00:18:20I have other things to do with my money.
00:18:23She'd better be transferred to the public asylum.
00:18:26Uh, that will, of course, necessitate the disclosure to the public authorities of the girl's parentage.
00:18:31But you'll seek it as safe with me.
00:18:33I bid you good day, sir.
00:18:35Flora Fairley.
00:18:37One moment, Fosco.
00:18:39I feel, after all, that I do owe this poor child something.
00:18:43Uh.
00:18:44Admirable sentiment, sir.
00:18:46Most laudable.
00:18:47I have the account with me.
00:18:48I cannot settle with you now.
00:18:49Shortly you shall receive your dues and more.
00:18:52I shall be most happy to accommodate you, sir.
00:18:54And this woman, Catherick.
00:18:55She's to be trusted.
00:18:56Oh.
00:18:57She won't tittle-tattle.
00:18:58Have no fear.
00:18:59Her love for her daughter will prevent that.
00:19:01And now, just one final word to you, Dr. Isidore Fosco.
00:19:05Be loyal to your trust, and it will pay you handsomely.
00:19:09Betray it, and I'll feed your entrails to the pigs.
00:19:15I bid you good day, sir.
00:19:17Did you tell him I was secretly married to Percival Glide before he went to Australia?
00:19:29Well, what would have been the use?
00:19:30The man is patently an impostor.
00:19:32I shall expose him.
00:19:33Would that provide you with the money to pay me for keeping your daughter in the comfort of my asylum?
00:19:37Oh, what shall I do?
00:19:39You will do nothing.
00:19:40But I can't let my poor girl go into a public asylum.
00:19:44I can't.
00:19:45I can't.
00:19:46She will remain in my charge, and the pseudo Sir Percival Glide shall pay.
00:19:50But I...
00:19:51Now, keep your own counsel.
00:19:52Don't breathe a word to a living soul.
00:19:54Leave everything to me.
00:19:56I've come to say goodbye, Laura.
00:20:04Goodbye?
00:20:05I leave for London today.
00:20:07Today?
00:20:08Would you have me stay in the circumstances?
00:20:10So you know, then.
00:20:12Your sister's just told me.
00:20:14What must you think of me?
00:20:15Only what I've always thought of you.
00:20:17I've wanted to tell you before, but lacked the courage.
00:20:20Oh, Paul.
00:20:22I don't want to lose what little happiness I've known.
00:20:25Oh, I'm glad you've been happy.
00:20:27More than I can ever say.
00:20:29I've been hoping against hope that my future husband would never return from Australia.
00:20:34That perhaps he might...
00:20:36Oh, I suppose it was wicked of me to hope that.
00:20:38Our stations in life are so different.
00:20:40I should never have presumed to ask you to marry me.
00:20:43I should have been quite content to have gone on just adoring you from afar.
00:20:47I shall always continue to do that.
00:20:50Always.
00:20:53Here he is.
00:20:54I can't face him.
00:20:55I can't.
00:20:56I must go.
00:20:57Oh, don't leave me.
00:20:58At least not at once.
00:20:59Please, I beg of you.
00:21:01Quick promise.
00:21:02Very well.
00:21:03I shall ask Mr. Fairley to release me at the end of the month.
00:21:07My sister Laura.
00:21:22Sir Percival Glide.
00:21:23I count myself fortunate indeed that my bride-to-be is so charming and so gracious.
00:21:28Our drawing-master, Mr. Hartwright.
00:21:29Sir Percival.
00:21:30A drawing-master?
00:21:31What an odd occupation.
00:21:32Truly, as it said, it takes all sorts to make a world.
00:21:34If you'll please excuse me.
00:21:35And I too, Sir Percival.
00:21:36Certainly.
00:21:37Certainly.
00:21:38They told me that you were beautiful, but I hardly dared to hope...
00:21:39Won't you be seated?
00:21:41Sir Percival.
00:21:42Sir Percival.
00:21:43Do you believe in first impressions?
00:21:44Indeed, yes.
00:21:45First impressions are always right.
00:21:46And I feel for you...
00:21:47I am glad.
00:21:48And I beg of you now at this, our first meeting, to release me from this contract.
00:21:49That's impossible.
00:21:50I beg of you, Sir Percival.
00:21:51I beg of you, Sir Percival.
00:21:52You ask too much.
00:21:53Why, when we are married and friendship has rightened into love.
00:21:54See?
00:21:55It fits perfectly.
00:21:56I am.
00:21:57I am.
00:21:58I am.
00:21:59I am.
00:22:00I am.
00:22:01I am.
00:22:02I am.
00:22:03I am.
00:22:04I am.
00:22:05I am.
00:22:06I am.
00:22:07I am.
00:22:08I am.
00:22:09I am.
00:22:10I am.
00:22:11I am.
00:22:12I am.
00:22:13I am.
00:22:14I am.
00:22:15I am.
00:22:16I am.
00:22:17I am.
00:22:18I am.
00:22:19And I am.
00:22:20It fits perfectly.
00:22:21A good augury for our future happiness.
00:22:23You like it?
00:22:26And engagement is usually sealed with a kiss.
00:22:32Sir Percival, please, please.
00:22:34God, how lovely you are!
00:22:35My uncle will be awaiting you in his room.
00:22:37If you will excuse me, I will retire.
00:22:38Before you go to him, I may say, I have arranged our wedding to place on Mickelmas Day.
00:22:43Mickelmas Day?
00:22:44That's barely six weeks away.
00:22:46I couldn't consent to an engagement of less than a year.
00:22:48That is ridiculous.
00:22:50After 20 years in the lonely wiles,
00:22:52I feel the need of a wife's comfort and companionship.
00:22:55I'm afraid I must insist.
00:22:57Then I think I'd better speak to your uncle forthwith.
00:23:00I will ring for a servant.
00:23:07Please take this gentleman to Mr. Fairley.
00:23:16Don't cry, Laura, dear. You're not married to him yet.
00:23:30That plentiful man insists that I marry him on six weeks from today.
00:23:34So soon? Oh, but that's ridiculous.
00:23:37And anyway, the question of time is for the woman to decide.
00:23:40Uncle Frederick wrote to tell him that he could decide the wedding day.
00:23:44They won't have it all their own way.
00:23:47Let them have their way.
00:23:49Let us have no more troubles and heart burnings
00:23:51that any sacrifice of mine can prevent.
00:23:53Oh, say you will live with me, Marian, when I'm married.
00:23:56Say no more.
00:23:58Good morning.
00:23:59Hey, dearie.
00:24:00Hey, dearie.
00:24:01Hey, dearie.
00:24:02Hey, dearie.
00:24:03Hey, dearie.
00:24:04Hey, dearie.
00:24:05Hello, Hawkins!
00:24:07A carrion crow once sat on a tree, singing, hey, dearie, dearie down thee.
00:24:13Hey, dearie, dearie down thee.
00:24:14The old crow that sat on the...
00:24:17Hello, Hawkins!
00:24:19Bill Hawkins, a carrion crow once sat on a tree, singing, hey, Derry, hey, Derry, dee.
00:24:30Sir Percival.
00:24:30Well, what is it?
00:24:32Oh, take that miserable look off your face.
00:24:35Blackwater is to have a mistress.
00:24:37A mistress, Sir Percival?
00:24:38A wife.
00:24:39I'm going to be married.
00:24:40Allow me to congratulate you, Sir Percival.
00:24:42Dr. Fosco is awaiting you in the library, Sir Percival.
00:24:45Fosco, he won't keep me long.
00:24:48Oh, and when he's gone, Hawkins, send Jessica to me here.
00:24:56I've certain instructions to give her.
00:25:03Ah, my dear Fosco, this is indeed a pleasure.
00:25:07And how are you, eh?
00:25:08Well, physically, I am well, but...
00:25:10I was never better myself.
00:25:12If you will excuse me, I won't...
00:25:14Oh, but you will.
00:25:15You will drink my health friend, Fosco.
00:25:17Right.
00:25:18For I am to be married.
00:25:20Oh, indeed.
00:25:21To Miss Laura Ferry of Limeridge Hall.
00:25:24A lady rich and beautiful.
00:25:27Well, may I offer my congratulations to both of you, sir?
00:25:30Thanks, thanks.
00:25:33And now about this paltry sum I owe you.
00:25:35What does it amount to?
00:25:36Uh, 152 pounds, Sir Percival.
00:25:38A mere bagatelle.
00:25:41And I will pay you two years' fees in advance.
00:25:44Satisfactory?
00:25:44Well, eminently so, Sir Percival, I...
00:25:46For I am to be a rich friend, Fosco.
00:25:49Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:25:50All my troubles are over.
00:25:52I fear your troubles are only just beginning, Sir Percival.
00:25:55Eh?
00:25:56Anne Catherick has escaped from my asylum.
00:25:58What?
00:25:59Yes, most regrettable.
00:26:01You blundering fool.
00:26:02Oh, no, Sir Percival, please.
00:26:03If I please you, I have a mind to shake the breath from out of your greasy little body.
00:26:08Now, listen to me.
00:26:09If you wish to escape with your miserable life, you'll find her quickly.
00:26:13Oh, but this should have happened at a moment like this.
00:26:17Just when everything...
00:26:18Yes, I understand you.
00:26:18Have you made any plans for her recapture?
00:26:20Have you been to see her mother?
00:26:22Yes, I have.
00:26:22She'll report to me immediately as the girl goes back.
00:26:24And what else?
00:26:25Well, I've invited myself here as your guest.
00:26:28I've brought a little light luggage and I propose to stay the night.
00:26:31And how the devil do you expect to find her from this house?
00:26:33Because her insane hatred of you is bound to bring her here with the intention of venting
00:26:38her spleen upon you.
00:26:39And have you organized a search party?
00:26:42I suppose no.
00:26:43I have arranged a thorough and systematic search over a wide area.
00:26:48Come in.
00:26:51Did you want me, Sir Percival?
00:26:53Yes, that is...
00:26:54With your permission, I will go to bed, Sir Percival.
00:26:58I've had a strenuous day and I...
00:27:00That's right.
00:27:01Call Hawkins and tell him to take Dr. Fosco up to a bedroom.
00:27:04And then come back here for your instructions.
00:27:08Yes, Sir Percival.
00:27:12Good night, Sir Percival.
00:27:14I assure you, this lamentable business will be brought to a speedy conclusion.
00:27:18I hope so.
00:27:20For both our sakes.
00:27:23Here.
00:27:24The butler is waiting for you in the hall, Sir.
00:27:39Red lips and red wine for the rest of the evening, eh, my pretty?
00:27:43But why are you so downcast, child?
00:27:47What's amiss?
00:27:48They tell me you're going to be married.
00:27:50Oh, so that's the trouble, is it?
00:27:53Come, sit you down here.
00:27:56Love and marriage are two very different things.
00:27:59Marriage is a business proposition.
00:28:01Whereas love...
00:28:02We drink to love tonight.
00:28:07Yes, but...
00:28:08But what?
00:28:09Well, marriage is safer for a girl, isn't it?
00:28:11And you promised you'd marry me.
00:28:13And I'm not a man to betray a maiden under an idle promise of marriage, but...
00:28:17Oh, I know Miss Ferry's a very rich lady.
00:28:19And a few weeks ago I would have been content.
00:28:21But now...
00:28:23Oh, what will become of me?
00:28:28You...
00:28:28You mean...
00:28:29You haven't breathed the word of this to a living soul?
00:28:33Oh, no, sir.
00:28:35But you see, this changes everything.
00:28:37You must marry me now, mustn't you?
00:28:38Yes, yes, of course.
00:28:40You mean that, sir?
00:28:41My word is my bond, but not a mention of this to anyone.
00:28:45It shall be our little secret, eh?
00:28:47Oh, I am so happy.
00:28:49Upon my soul, you're a delightful little baggage.
00:28:56Oh, it's the Percival.
00:29:01What the devil?
00:29:02There.
00:29:03There at the window.
00:29:04At the window?
00:29:05What do you mean?
00:29:05A woman.
00:29:07A woman in white.
00:29:08A woman in white?
00:29:08What are you talking about?
00:29:10Look.
00:29:11What's the matter?
00:29:20Ghosts!
00:29:21Ghosts!
00:29:22The house is haunted!
00:29:28Ghosts?
00:29:31The house haunted?
00:29:34Ghosts?
00:29:38Housebreakers.
00:29:39No, an apparition.
00:29:40What really, you mean?
00:29:41A woman dressed all in white.
00:29:44Anne Catherick.
00:29:45Anne Catherick.
00:29:46I said she'd come here.
00:29:48But what are you waiting for?
00:29:49Go on, find her.
00:29:50Look like this, but I haven't got my trousers on.
00:29:53Curse your trousers!
00:29:54Curse you!
00:29:56Oh, curse everything!
00:29:57Jane!
00:29:58I think...
00:29:58I want you to come here.
00:29:58Never campains.
00:29:59Hello!
00:30:00Feed me!
00:30:02I'm lo so happy in Japan.
00:30:05Go on.
00:30:06Leave me...
00:30:06I need nothing!
00:30:06Teach me to do!
00:30:07Ain't nothing!
00:30:08Payton!?
00:30:12Oh, man.
00:30:15Are you recording?
00:30:16어주 me.
00:30:16I never didn't come here.
00:30:20Are you recording me?
00:30:21Oh, dear.
00:30:21Hey.
00:30:21You're recording me?
00:30:22Save me!
00:30:23I don't want you to understand what you're gonna do!
00:30:24I wish to see Sir Percival Glyde.
00:30:39I'm afraid it's too late, sir. I think Sir Percival is retired.
00:30:42Oh, no, he hasn't.
00:30:45What the devil do you want?
00:30:47Your explanation of this,
00:30:48which I saw a woman pin on the notice board of the parish church,
00:30:51not an hour since.
00:30:53Why, what the devil?
00:30:54Well, what do you say to it?
00:30:56All falsehoods, a tissue of lies from beginning to end.
00:31:00I wonder.
00:31:01And let me tell you this.
00:31:02If you try to defame my character in the smallest degree,
00:31:05I'll swear out a warrant for your arrest.
00:31:07And if you harm so much as the single hair of Miss Laura Fairley's head
00:31:11or cause her one moment's pain or unhappiness,
00:31:13I'll make you regret it as long as you live, Sir Percival Glyde.
00:31:16Do you realize you're speaking to the lord of the manor?
00:31:18That makes not one tittle of difference to what I've just said.
00:31:20Get out, or I'll set the dogs on you.
00:31:24Oh, so you heard, eh?
00:31:32Oh, well, the door was open.
00:31:33I really couldn't help her.
00:31:34That mad fool is up to her tricks already.
00:31:36She's got to be found.
00:31:37Do you hear me?
00:31:38She's got to be found.
00:31:40Of course, I share your anxiety, Sir Percival.
00:31:42Have I not a stake in your marriage to the tune of 152 pounds?
00:31:46An extra hundred to you when she's safely under lock and key.
00:31:48But I thought you were financially embarrassed.
00:31:51Then I'll give you an I.O.U. for a hundred pounds to be redeemed as soon as I'm married.
00:31:56Oh, another hundred pounds.
00:32:05Oh, Sir Percival.
00:32:07Well, what do you want?
00:32:09You didn't used to talk to me like that.
00:32:11And you used not to look like that.
00:32:13Going about the house like a glass of sour milk.
00:32:16Oh, for heaven's sake, girl, time be bright.
00:32:18You know why I'm unhappy, sir.
00:32:21Shh, shh, shh, come in here.
00:32:27Now what are you snivelling for?
00:32:29My mother.
00:32:30You haven't told her?
00:32:30No, sir, not a word.
00:32:32But she's begun to.
00:32:33She's asking questions.
00:32:34And you promised.
00:32:35I know, and I'll keep my word.
00:32:40We're going to leave all this, Jessica.
00:32:42You mean, elope and get married?
00:32:44And I shall be Lady Glide?
00:32:46Yes, tonight.
00:32:47I'll take you to a place where you'll be nice and peaceful.
00:32:50Where no one will ever know.
00:32:51You mean that, Sir Percival?
00:32:53Of course I mean it.
00:32:54Meet me at nine o'clock tonight in the old boathouse by the lake.
00:32:58Oh, that place scares me in daylight.
00:33:01But at night?
00:33:02But I shall be there.
00:33:03And then you won't be afraid, will you?
00:33:05Oh, no, Percival.
00:33:07I mean, sir.
00:33:08That's right.
00:33:09Then go and pack yourself a few things.
00:33:11You're going on a journey.
00:33:14Yes.
00:33:15A very long journey.
00:33:18A very long journey.
00:33:45Are you, are you there, sir?
00:33:50Here I am, my dear, waiting for you.
00:33:52I'm so glad you didn't keep me waiting.
00:33:54I was so afraid.
00:33:55But you're not afraid now, are you?
00:33:57Oh, no, sir.
00:33:58What do you do when you're afraid?
00:34:00Do you scream?
00:34:01Sometimes.
00:34:02Do you feel like screaming now?
00:34:04Oh, no.
00:34:05No, we mustn't make a noise or someone would hear us.
00:34:07And that would never do, would it?
00:34:09No, sir.
00:34:10But I needn't call you sir now.
00:34:12We're going to be married, need I?
00:34:13Haven't we better be getting along?
00:34:15Just one little kiss first.
00:34:17Percival, you're hurting me!
00:34:19So you wanted to be a bride, my dear Jessica, did you?
00:34:30So you shall be a bride of death.
00:34:36Hehehehe.
00:34:53Come on, shootin'.
00:34:55Here I can open.
00:34:55Yes, sir.
00:34:58Joll, then.
00:35:02Yeah, yeah, allowance.
00:35:04Good luck to you both.
00:35:06I love and happiness to you both.
00:35:09Thank you, thank you all.
00:35:34I must fight that woman in white. I must. I must.
00:35:55Welcome home, milady.
00:35:59Mrs. Bullen, this is your new mistress, Lady Glyde.
00:36:02Welcome home, milady. Thank you.
00:36:04Mrs. Lady Glyde's sister, who will be staying with Lady Glyde.
00:36:10Come, my dear.
00:36:14Well, my dear, how do you like your new home?
00:36:20Charming old place, isn't it?
00:36:23It has an atmosphere, all of its own.
00:36:28As you say, there certainly is an atmosphere.
00:36:31I'm afraid we're short-staffed, milady.
00:36:34One of the maids vanished into thin air a short while since.
00:36:37Mrs. Bullen, please show the ladies upstairs.
00:36:42Will you come this way?
00:37:01That is Miss Fairley's room, milady, at the top of the stairs.
00:37:11You, of course, will occupy Sir Percival's suite.
00:37:13I have placed the table on the left-hand side, milady.
00:37:14Doubtless by tomorrow you and Sir Percival will have decided which side of the bed you will occupy.
00:37:30My room is a long way from this one.
00:37:32Yes, it is, isn't it?
00:37:34Come, my little bride. Cheer up. This is your wedding night. Have a drink. It'll bring a smile to your pretty face.
00:37:39No, thank you.
00:37:40No, no, always no.
00:37:41You must learn that a wife must sometimes say yes to her husband.
00:37:42And you, Sir Percival, should know that there are times when a husband must show his wife consideration.
00:37:45Ah, my pretty little sister-in-law, you're a woman of spirit, champion of the earth, and you, Sir Percival, should know that there are times when a husband must show his wife consideration.
00:37:56Come, my little bride, cheer up. Cheer up. This is your wedding night. Have a drink. It'll bring a smile to your pretty face.
00:37:59No, thank you.
00:38:00No, no, always no. You must learn that a wife must sometimes say yes to her husband.
00:38:05And you, Sir Percival, should know that there are times when a husband must show his wife consideration.
00:38:10Ah, my pretty little sister-in-law, you're a woman of spirit, champion of the earth.
00:38:15Well, you press sex, eh?
00:38:17Well, I like women of spirit.
00:38:19Here's to the taming of the shrew.
00:38:23Won't you drink to the bride and bridegroom?
00:38:26I have done so already.
00:38:28Well, you will.
00:38:30Please excuse me.
00:38:31Why should I? I'm always excusing you.
00:38:33I say you shall drink.
00:38:35No, no, please.
00:38:36But you can't. I'll make you.
00:38:38Sir Percival, please.
00:38:40My sister and I have had a very long and tiring day.
00:38:44Perhaps we may be permitted to retire.
00:38:47Certainly.
00:38:49I'll ring for Mrs. Bullock.
00:39:00This way, ladies.
00:39:10I shall be joining you.
00:39:12Very soon, my dear.
00:39:18I wonder what it feels like to be a bride.
00:39:21How should I now?
00:39:30Must I be placed so far away from Lady Glide?
00:39:33To the nearest available room to Sir Percival's suite.
00:39:42I've been in with the warming pan.
00:39:46Good night, milady.
00:39:47Good night.
00:39:48I've been in with the warming pan.
00:39:50Good night, milady.
00:39:51Good night, milady.
00:40:21Even she shan't spoil my wedding night, curser.
00:40:51Good night.
00:41:21Bills, bills, bills.
00:41:41Do people think that I'm made of money?
00:41:43In accordance with your instructions, I have drawn up this document.
00:41:47Good.
00:41:47If you can persuade Lady Glide to sign it,
00:41:49you will have immediate control of her fortune.
00:41:52But will she?
00:41:52She has promised to love, honor, and obey.
00:41:55In any case, you are jointly enjoying the income on her money.
00:41:58And don't forget, too, that if she dies first,
00:42:00everything is left entirely to you.
00:42:02In other words, I should be better off if she were dead.
00:42:05It's a person.
00:42:05Well, that's what you mean, isn't it?
00:42:07And has it ever struck you that she might alter her will
00:42:09in somebody else's favor at any time she likes?
00:42:12But she's not likely to do that.
00:42:13But supposing she hears something, something that upsets her.
00:42:17What then?
00:42:18You mean there is something?
00:42:19I only said supposing.
00:42:21However, her signature to this document and then...
00:42:25Shh!
00:42:27I'm sorry.
00:42:28I was looking for Marion.
00:42:29Come in, my dear.
00:42:30I was just going to send for you, as it happens.
00:42:32Oh?
00:42:33You've met my lawyer, Mr. Merriman?
00:42:34Yes.
00:42:35We introduced ourselves when he arrived.
00:42:37With your permission, Sir Percival,
00:42:38I'll withdraw while you speak to Lady Glyde.
00:42:40As you will.
00:42:41I'll join you in a minute.
00:42:42Yes, sir.
00:42:43Come here, my dear.
00:42:45Just a little matter of business.
00:42:46But I want you to sign your name.
00:42:49Just there, opposite that wafer.
00:42:51What is it I am to sign?
00:42:53Oh, it's of minor importance or mere formality.
00:42:56But surely I ought to know what I'm signing before I write my name.
00:42:59Nonsense, my dear.
00:43:00What do women know about business?
00:43:01If I explained it, you wouldn't understand it.
00:43:03At any rate, let me try to understand it.
00:43:06Mr. Gilmore, whenever he had any business for me to do,
00:43:08always explained it first.
00:43:10And I always understood him.
00:43:11I dare say he did.
00:43:12He was your lawyer.
00:43:13It was his duty to explain.
00:43:15But I am your husband.
00:43:18Where do you want me to sign?
00:43:19There.
00:43:23If my signature pledges me to anything,
00:43:25I feel I have some claim to know what that pledge is.
00:43:28You distrust me.
00:43:28Is that it?
00:43:29It's unjust and cruel to accuse me of distrusting you.
00:43:31Aren't I entitled to know what this writing requires of me before I sign it?
00:43:35So you do distrust me.
00:43:37You distrust your own husband.
00:43:39Upon my soul, this is more than flesh and blood can stand.
00:43:45I wish Marion were here to advise me.
00:43:47Marion is here.
00:43:49What is it you want my advice on, Laura?
00:43:51This document I am signing.
00:43:53What document?
00:43:54A mere formality, but as essential as the register that she signed in the church.
00:43:58But that was open before me.
00:43:59Why is this all folded up?
00:44:00Oh, heaven preserve me from doing business with women.
00:44:04Are you going to sign that, or are we going to argue all day?
00:44:07Laura's objection seems perfectly reasonable to me.
00:44:09A cool declaration upon my soul.
00:44:11Before you invite yourself into a man's house the next time,
00:44:14let me recommend you not to abuse his hospitality
00:44:16by taking sides with his wife against him
00:44:19in a matter which does not concern you.
00:44:25Shall I sign?
00:44:26I will if you say so.
00:44:28No.
00:44:28The right and the truth are with you.
00:44:30Sign nothing unless you have read it first.
00:44:33You positively refuse, then, to give me your signature?
00:44:35After what you have just said to Marion,
00:44:37I refuse my signature
00:44:38until I have read every line in that parchment from first to last.
00:44:42Come on, Marion.
00:44:46Laura, Laura, you know I would do anything in the world for you.
00:44:51But I cannot possibly stay here after what your husband said to me.
00:44:54I'm afraid he lost his temper.
00:44:57A man speaks his mind in temper.
00:44:59I'll visit you, my dear.
00:45:01I'll visit you every day of my life.
00:45:03But I cannot possibly remain under this roof any longer.
00:45:07Oh, my poor darling.
00:45:13Sir Perthor, look.
00:45:14A letter addressed to Lady Glyde in Anne Catherick's handwriting.
00:45:17What?
00:45:18Are you sure it's Anne Catherick's handwriting?
00:45:20Positive.
00:45:20I've seen it often enough.
00:45:21How'd you get it?
00:45:22Well, walking up to the giant just now,
00:45:24I overtook the postboy and took the letters from him.
00:45:26My God, if Laura had seen this,
00:45:28this lunatic girl must be recaptured.
00:45:30You're quite sure she's not at her mother's?
00:45:32Absolutely certain.
00:45:33I'm having a place watched night and day.
00:45:35Mrs. Catherick admits seeing her two or three times since her escape.
00:45:38Yes, only at night through the window.
00:45:39By the time Mrs. Catherick's got outside,
00:45:41she's always disappeared completely.
00:45:42Yes, so she says.
00:45:45The girl loves her mother, eh?
00:45:47With an intensity only equaled by her hatred of you.
00:45:51Then where the mother is,
00:45:53the girl won't be far away.
00:45:56Get a message to Mrs. Catherick.
00:46:00Tell her to meet me tonight at nine
00:46:01in the old boathouse by the lake.
00:46:06Come on.
00:46:36Good day, Mrs. Cathery.
00:46:49You'd better send me up a pot of that bear's grease.
00:46:51It's nice and soothing.
00:46:52Thank you. I'll send it over today.
00:46:54And I shan't want you again until next Tuesday week.
00:46:57Thank you, Sir Percival.
00:46:59And I wish you good day, sir.
00:47:01Good day to you.
00:47:02Good day.
00:47:03Good day.
00:47:04Fosco, I didn't hear you knock.
00:47:07I came in just as you were speaking about poor Mrs. Catheryck.
00:47:10Made away with herself, eh?
00:47:12And at Blackwater Lake, too.
00:47:14You met her there, didn't you?
00:47:16She didn't come.
00:47:17I cooled my heels for nearly an hour.
00:47:19Ah, then you won't have a chance of seeing her again, eh?
00:47:22And her secret will die with her.
00:47:25The devil are you talking about?
00:47:26Dead women tell no tables.
00:47:29But was it quite wise?
00:47:31You sneaking little rat!
00:47:33What do you mean?
00:47:34As a doctor and a loyal citizen, I have but one duty to perform at the inquest.
00:47:38As a loyal friend, I have another.
00:47:41How loyal a friend are you?
00:47:44How loyal are you?
00:47:46How loyal do you want me to be?
00:47:49To the extent of a promissory note of five thousand pounds to be redeemed when you've robbed your wife of her money.
00:47:55You!
00:47:56Yes.
00:47:57I'm afraid it must be five thousand pounds.
00:48:00That's why I said I wondered if you were quite wise.
00:48:03Now, do you agree?
00:48:05Send me a promissory note and I'll sign it.
00:48:12Thank you, Sir Percival.
00:48:14The price may be high, but the risk is great.
00:48:27I wonder if you realize how great the risk really is.
00:48:33What are you talking about?
00:48:55See, my Fosco, there is your woman in white,
00:49:02a little hunting trick I learnt in Australia.
00:49:05Kill the mother and the whelps will follow the body.
00:49:14So this is the cause of all the trouble, eh?
00:49:17Our little mad girl.
00:49:20Laura, Lady Glide.
00:49:25Oh, no.
00:49:26There is a remarkable resemblance, certainly,
00:49:28particularly when the face is in repose.
00:49:30Why didn't you tell me of this before?
00:49:32Can't you see the solution of all our troubles?
00:49:35Is here?
00:49:37Very old. Probably pneumonia.
00:49:39We must get her between blankets immediately.
00:49:41You seem very concerned for her.
00:49:43My instinct as a doctor is to cure, not to kill.
00:49:47Let's get her back to the coach.
00:49:50There's only one thing to do. Sweat it out of her.
00:49:56Crawling about at night, scantily clandered.
00:50:00No wonder she's grievously ill.
00:50:03Ah, I must get this heated up again.
00:50:05It's essential she'll be kept as warm as possible.
00:50:11There may be a change for the better in the morning.
00:50:20They aren't supposed to have அ.
00:50:24Are you Gabriel?
00:50:25Well, for her and I do not know,
00:50:26there is no opportunity to do.
00:50:28I must go.
00:50:29Where are you going on?
00:50:30There!
00:50:36Who are you going on?
00:50:37You're going on?
00:50:40Choose your lovely lovely chickens!
00:50:41There may be a change for the better.
00:51:11In the morning.
00:51:41There may be a change for the better.
00:51:43There may be a change for the better.
00:51:48There may be a change for the better.
00:51:58There may be a change for the better.
00:52:04Come on.
00:52:06Now, Anne Catherick.
00:52:10Unless you want to find yourself in a jacket, you'll calm yourself.
00:52:14My name is not Anne Catherick.
00:52:16Oh, please, listen to me.
00:52:18I am Lady Glyde.
00:52:20Lady Glyde, don't you understand?
00:52:22I deeply regret that Lady Glyde is most seriously ill.
00:52:34Was there ever such an unfortunate man as I am?
00:52:37There's Laura taken ill and I am pestered with it.
00:52:40I always thought that when a girl was married, she was off her guardian's hands.
00:52:44What am I expecting to do about it?
00:52:46Something I would never expect you to do.
00:52:48Forget your miserable self for one moment and think of someone else.
00:52:51Are you aware of what you're saying and to whom you're saying it?
00:52:53Yes.
00:52:54To the man who undertook to be her guardian and betrayed his trust.
00:52:57Who didn't care whom she married or what became of her,
00:52:59so long as he wasn't inconvenienced.
00:53:01You fill me with contempt.
00:53:03You're so much engrossed in your own imaginary ailments
00:53:05that you haven't an atom of pity or consideration for anyone else.
00:53:09If anything happens to Laura, may God punish you as you deserve.
00:53:15Louie, my salvo-laterally, my salvo-laterally.
00:53:19I take the luck and my notice with it.
00:53:21And I hope you'll never get the stains out.
00:53:24Where is Laura?
00:53:31In her room.
00:53:33How is she?
00:53:34She's been very feverish, restless and wandering.
00:53:37She's quiet now.
00:53:39Oh, yes, she's quiet now.
00:53:41Then that is a good sign, surely, isn't it?
00:53:43It means she's better, doesn't it?
00:53:45In the sense that she's no longer suffering.
00:53:47She is better.
00:53:49Great heavens!
00:53:51Are you telling me something's happened to her?
00:53:53Don't you?
00:53:55What do you think?
00:53:56Do you think something's happened to her?
00:54:23Oh, please, if you have any womanly feeling in you, listen to me.
00:54:43Now you be quiet and eat your food.
00:54:45Please, please believe me when I tell you that a ghastly mistake has been made.
00:54:49You made the mistake, Anne Catherick, when you thought you could give us the slip.
00:54:52My name is not Anne Catherick. I tell you I'm Lady Glyde.
00:54:56That's nothing. The one in there is Anne Boleyn.
00:54:58But I am Lady Glyde.
00:55:05Lady Glyde died two days ago. It's in the papers.
00:55:10Good morning, Doctor.
00:55:11Oh, Doctor Fosco, I am glad you're here. Have you come to take me out of this dreadful place?
00:55:16My dear, Anne, why should I take you away when I've just welcomed you back?
00:55:20But don't you know who I am?
00:55:22Yes, yes, yes, my dear girl. Of course I know who you are.
00:55:25You know I am Lady Glyde.
00:55:27She was carrying on like this before you came, sir.
00:55:29But it's true. It's true.
00:55:31She's doubtless read of Lady Glyde's death and the brain...
00:55:34Will you send for my sister?
00:55:36Please, please, please do as I ask and send for her.
00:55:39Poor child, poor child. It's worse than I thought.
00:55:43Yes, of course we will send for her.
00:55:46Watch her carefully.
00:55:47If she continues like this, I'll give her a strong sedative.
00:55:50But if she becomes violent...
00:55:52No! No!
00:55:54Don't you see you are making a dreadful mistake!
00:55:57Doctor Fosco, Doctor Fosco, don't leave me!
00:56:00Don't leave me!
00:56:02Well?
00:56:11She's safe enough.
00:56:14Good.
00:56:15The question is, how safe are we?
00:56:17What do you mean?
00:56:18Well, at every step we seem to be getting deeper and deeper.
00:56:20She might as well be locked up for all the good she is.
00:56:22Of what use is a shrinking violet to a man?
00:56:25A brief interview with our lawyers on Monday.
00:56:27And I shall be rich, my Fosco.
00:56:29So come, I'll stand you a bottle of wine at the Falcon on the strength of it.
00:56:34Ah, thank you, but I do not indulge...
00:56:36And I've already told you I don't trust teetotalers.
00:56:38Well, I was going to say that I do not indulge except at this time of day.
00:56:42Good! Come, my Fosco. Come.
00:56:44I wish I could find that woman in white.
00:56:59If you were to find her, that wouldn't bring the dead back to life.
00:57:02No, but it might bring the living to justice.
00:57:04I swear by that grave to expose Glide to the world for the blaggardly scoundrel that he is.
00:57:09I feel certain that that woman can point me the way.
00:57:12What makes you so certain?
00:57:14The look I saw in Glide's eyes when I confronted him with her note.
00:57:23I wonder if...
00:57:24If what?
00:57:25A few days ago, a girl said to be a mental case who escaped from Dr. Fosco's asylum was recaptured near Blackwater.
00:57:33You think she might be the woman in white?
00:57:35I wondered if there might be any connection.
00:57:37I heard one of the servants say she was dressed all in white.
00:57:40I wonder.
00:57:42I should go mad!
00:57:47I should go mad!
00:57:49Why am I here?
00:57:50Oh, let me out!
00:57:52What have I done? Let me out!
00:58:00Gentlemen, I see you, sir.
00:58:01Mr. Carey Wilson's solicitor Winchester?
00:58:05What's he want?
00:58:06Don't know, sir.
00:58:07You'd better show him in, I suppose.
00:58:09This way, sir.
00:58:14And what service can I render you, sir?
00:58:17You have a patient here named Anne Catherick.
00:58:19That is so?
00:58:20I'm engaged in winding up the estate of her recently deceased mother.
00:58:23Won't you sit down?
00:58:26I require certain information.
00:58:28May I see, Miss Catherick?
00:58:30Quite impossible.
00:58:31My instructions are that she may have no visitors.
00:58:34But it's vitally important.
00:58:35I repeat, it's impossible.
00:58:37You realize, sir, the girl's insane?
00:58:39Has she been certified?
00:58:41Well, no.
00:58:42Not actually, but...
00:58:43In law, she's sane until she's been certified.
00:58:45I must insist on seeing her.
00:58:47For the last time, sir, I cannot grant your request.
00:58:50Very well.
00:58:51In that case, I must apply for an order to the court.
00:58:54Oh, my dear sir, there's no need to adopt that attitude.
00:58:57After all, rules must be observed in these institutions.
00:59:01And the law must take its course?
00:59:03Quite.
00:59:04Quite.
00:59:05Well, under the very special circumstances,
00:59:09I'll make an exception in your case.
00:59:11Take this gentleman through to number seven.
00:59:13She's been rather violent, Doctor.
00:59:15You must not excite her. You understand?
00:59:17That's why, sir.
00:59:34Excuse me.
00:59:57Paul.
00:59:59Laura.
01:00:00Oh, Paul, I hoped, I prayed you would come.
01:00:04Why do you stare at me?
01:00:07Do I look so different?
01:00:08Oh, I never expected to find you here.
01:00:10Oh, thank God I did.
01:00:12Whom did you expect to find?
01:00:14A girl called Anne Catherick.
01:00:15Anne Catherick?
01:00:16That's what they insist on calling me.
01:00:18Even Dr. Fosco.
01:00:19Oh, my darling.
01:00:21Those two scoundrels should pay for this.
01:00:23Oh, please, please take me out of this dreadful place.
01:00:31You'll have to go now.
01:00:33Very well.
01:00:42Thank you, Miss Catherick.
01:00:44I think that clears up everything quite satisfactorily.
01:01:03There you are.
01:01:24Take that to my bankers and...
01:01:26What is this?
01:01:27A draft in respect to the upkeep of Anne Catherick for three years.
01:01:29And the additional hundred promised me for her recapture.
01:01:32But you didn't recapture her.
01:01:33I did.
01:01:34Then there's the five thousand due to me
01:01:36for committing perjury in your interest
01:01:38at the inquest on Mrs. Catherick.
01:01:40Blackmail, eh?
01:01:41You know well enough what was arranged between us.
01:01:43That's all you're going to get, you little worm.
01:01:46Take it or leave it.
01:01:47You don't get over me so easily as that.
01:01:49I know you are not, Sir Percival Glyde.
01:01:52I know you murdered Mrs. Catherick
01:01:55and caused the death of her daughter.
01:01:57To say nothing of the power of my Jessica
01:01:59and the real Sir Percival Glyde.
01:02:01I also know that the woman at present in my asylum
01:02:04is Laura Fairley.
01:02:05And that the body buried at Limerick's churchyard
01:02:08is that of Anne Catherick, alias Glyde.
01:02:11But you've no proof of all this.
01:02:13It's only your word against mine.
01:02:15Besides, the story is so fantastic.
01:02:18Who would believe it?
01:02:20I, for one, believe every word of it.
01:02:22Oh, eavesdropping, eh?
01:02:25What have you heard?
01:02:26Enough to hang you for the murderer that you are.
01:02:28He's got no proof.
01:02:30Oh, you want proof, do you all?
01:02:32Well, I know where I can find proof.
01:02:34In the records of the parish church.
01:02:36What records?
01:02:38If you were Sir Percival Glyde, you would not ask.
01:02:41For it was there that Percival Glyde,
01:02:43before he set out for Australia, married the woman that you knew was Mrs. Catherick.
01:02:47What?
01:02:48Then who is he?
01:02:49An imposter, a murderer, a thief, a liar, and a bigamist.
01:02:55And the records of the parish church shall prove it to the world.
01:02:59Oh, no, you don't.
01:03:02Oh, no, you don't.
01:03:19When she's like you want taming badly, properly taming.
01:03:23Let me go, you horrible beast!
01:03:25Let me go!
01:03:26Let me go, will you?
01:03:28Let me go!
01:03:29Let me go, will you?
01:03:30Let me go!
01:03:31Let me go, will you?
01:03:32Let me go, will you?
01:03:41Oh-ho!
01:03:42You little she-devil!
01:03:44Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!
01:03:50Out in Australia, I used to break in fractious horses.
01:03:53Now I'm going to break in a fractious mare.
01:04:08Where is Marion?
01:04:14It's blocked!
01:04:15Open that door!
01:04:16Quick!
01:04:17Open the door!
01:04:18Oh, quick, Marion!
01:04:23You stand back!
01:04:33Where is Marion?
01:04:34Marion!
01:04:37You're a duck!
01:04:38You're a bitch!
01:04:39You're a bitch!
01:04:40You're a bitch!
01:04:41You're a bitch!
01:04:46Oh!
01:04:53You're a bitch!
01:04:54You're a bitch!
01:05:06You're a bitch!
01:05:07God!
01:05:08You're a bitch!
01:05:09He shot me with a horse pistol!
01:05:10He escaped through the window!
01:05:11Now, where are we?
01:05:121833?
01:05:13No!
01:05:14It was a year or two before that, and it passed.
01:05:16Here we are.
01:05:17I'm the unhappy Miss Ferry, will be only too glad to pay me handsomely for this,
01:05:21and that criminal lunatic will pay his just deserts.
01:05:25Hangman's rope.
01:05:27I don't think you expected me, my Vasco.
01:05:33May not.
01:05:34You treacherous little snake.
01:05:36Oh, I've been longing to sink my fingers
01:05:38in your fat, greasy little throat.
01:05:40No, no, no, not that, not that.
01:05:43Then that, eh?
01:05:45What was it he said?
01:05:51The hangman's rope.
01:05:53Then the hangman's rope it shall be.
01:06:15You always said you were a teetotaler.
01:06:22You're going to have an ice drop.
01:06:25Now.
01:06:32What's that?
01:06:33The church bell.
01:06:34The parish records.
01:06:35Drive to the church, quickly.
01:06:45Open the door.
01:06:46Wait, look.
01:07:01I'll destroy the records and beat them yet.
01:07:15Open the door.
01:07:16Open the door.
01:07:17Open the door.
01:07:18Open the door.
01:07:19Open the door.
01:07:20Open the door.
01:07:21Look at that fire.
01:07:25Pounds are after me.
01:07:26I'm not taken yet.
01:07:28This way.
01:07:36I'll go down to the church and hide.
01:07:38Oh, curse the key.
01:07:45I'll never go down that way.
01:07:46Hello there.
01:07:47Open the door.
01:07:48Break it down here.
01:07:49Flames are getting me.
01:07:50Break it down.
01:07:51For God's sake, break it down.
01:07:54Can't we press everything?
01:07:55I'm not supposed to have lied.
01:07:56Hurry, break down the door.
01:07:58I must have it.
01:08:00I got it.
01:08:01I got it.
01:08:02I got it.
01:08:03I got it.
01:08:04I got it.
01:08:05I got it.
01:08:06I got it.
01:08:07I got it.
01:08:08I got it.
01:08:09I got it.
01:08:10I don't want to die.
01:08:11I got me to die.
01:08:12I got me to die.
01:08:13I got it.
01:08:14I got it.
01:08:17So shall perish all evil.
