02:23He's not here.
02:23Please, no!
02:26What do you want?
02:28I told you I want Harry.
02:29He owes me.
02:29He's not here.
02:30He's not here!
02:34Get out of here!

04:38Darling, what is it?
04:40Penny, tell me.
04:42What happened?
04:44Harry, I think I killed him.
04:48Who?
04:49Who was he?
04:50He broke in, I don't know.
04:51Are you hurt?
04:52No, I...
04:53What did he do?
04:55He tried.
04:56He grabbed me.
04:57He tried to rape.
05:00Rape.
05:01Rape.
05:02Rape.
05:04Rape.
05:05Oh, Penny, listen to me.
05:07You must tell me what happened.
05:16Oh, my God.
05:29Harry!
05:31Harry!
05:31Stay there.
05:36Harry!
05:39Don't leave me!
05:44We've got to fight him.
05:46No!
05:47I can't stay here alone.
05:49No!

06:26I can't have got far bleeding like that.
06:51Come over here.
06:56Penny, please, come over here.
07:18Oh, Charlie.
07:28You've killed Charles Willoughby.
07:32Who is he?
07:33Just somebody I knew.
07:35I used to do business with him.
07:37Come on, do you good.
07:38My pills. I want my pills.
07:42You know what the doctor said about that.
07:44I need one after this.
07:47Okay, okay.
07:51One.
07:55One.

13:36Oh, Harry, I'm so scared.
13:41You're all right.
13:43As long as we keep our heads, there'll be no problem.
13:46Are you sure?
13:48I couldn't stand it if they put me away again.
13:51You're okay now.
13:53You're well again.
13:54I'm going to make sure you stay that way, right?
13:57Because if Mother and Daddy found out, they take me back to the States and I...
14:02Nobody will find out.
14:04You've got me to look after you now.
14:08But you won't have, but you won't have, unless I get out of these wet clothes before I catch my
14:11death.
14:21Harry, who is he really?
14:23I told you, just somebody I used to do business with.
14:26What kind of business?
14:28I mean, if there was some connection with you.
14:30He was a punter, a gambler.
14:33I met him while I was working as a croupier at the Casimir.
14:35Did he have anything to do with you being fired?
14:38No.
14:40No, of course not.
14:51He said you owed him.
14:53Yes, that's right.
14:54It was a bet, okay?
14:56There won't be any record.
14:59Do you want one?
15:00No, I had a pill, remember?
15:03Oh, yes.
15:04And we can't have you blowing your mind in town, can we?
15:06Town?
15:08Harry, I can't go out.
15:10But you have an appointment at the bank, remember?
15:13The bank?
15:15I can't go talk to the bank manager.
15:17I can't face anybody, not today.
15:20You have to.
15:22Look, if my money is that important to you...
15:24Oh, sod the money!
15:26Couldn't care less about it.
15:28You have an appointment, and you have got to keep it.
15:31We have to do everything exactly as normal.
15:35Everything.
15:35Exactly.
15:39Woo!
15:44Woo!
15:52Harry.
15:55Harry.
15:57Harry.
15:59Oh, my God.
16:29Damn you, wake up.
16:31He's back. He's coming back.
16:33Him. He's in the cottage.
16:34Oh, he's dead, Penny.
16:37Buried him.
16:38You said you put his car in the lake, Tony. It's parked outside.
16:40Come on. Take a look.
16:42Take a look.
16:43Take a look.
16:59Take a look.
17:03Take a look.
17:29Come over there.
17:30Hello?
17:34Hold on a minute, will you?
17:36Penny?
17:39Penny, where are you going?
17:42What are you doing, darling?
17:44You'll spoil everything.
17:46The police.
17:47If they did, darling, they'll send more than a Finnish Bobby with his little panda car.
17:52They'll act normally.
17:53All right.
17:57Morning, officer.
17:59Sorry about all that.
18:01Morning, sir.
18:02Mr. Wells.
18:03Mr. Wells.
18:04Mr. Harry Wells.
18:05Yes, that's right.
18:07And the young lady?
18:11Penny.
18:12Penny.
18:14Penny Van Brutten.
18:16From the United States.
18:18From the United States.
18:19Look, was there something you wanted?
18:21Yes, it was you I wanted to speak to, actually, Mr. Wells.
18:24Oh.
18:25Well, perhaps you'd like to come up to the cottage.
18:33Please sit down.
18:36Go ahead and break.
18:37Thank you, no, sir.
18:38Penny?
18:41Well, sir, what was it you wanted to talk to me about?
18:44About a man called Willoughby, Mr. Wells.
18:46Charles Willoughby.
18:48Charlie?
18:49What's he been up to now?
18:51I hoped you might be able to tell me.
18:53Oh.
18:53You do know Mr. Willoughby?
18:55Oh, yes, I know him.
18:56Is he a friend of yours?
18:58I know him.
19:00When did you last see Mr. Willoughby?
19:02Oh, it would have been, uh, about a week ago, I think.
19:06Yes, it would have been last Saturday morning.
19:08Mm-hmm.
19:08Where was that?
19:11Sasha's wine bar in Covent Garden.
19:13I was having a drink with some friends.
19:14Charles came in while I was there.
19:15Si, thank you.
19:17I understand you had words with him at that time.
19:20Look, what is this?
19:22What's Harry supposed to have done?
19:24If you don't mind, miss.
19:28Dolly.
19:30Are you all right?
19:31Yeah, I'm okay.
19:33Are you sure?
19:33I'm okay.
19:36Miss Van Brutten hasn't been well, and she's still convalescent.
19:39I'm sorry to hear that.
19:41Nothing serious, I hope.
19:42Oh, no, no, no.
19:43She's all right now.
19:44That's why we came down here.
19:45She needs peace and quiet, you understand.
19:47Have you seen anything of Mr. Willoughby since last Saturday?
19:50No.
19:51Should I have done?
19:52Two nights ago, he said he was coming down here to sort you out, apparently.
19:56Well, that sounds like lovable, Charles.
19:59I take it he didn't arrive?
20:01No.
20:02At least as far as I know.
20:03I was away on business two nights ago.
20:05Miss Van Brutten was here on her own.
20:08May I ask where you were exactly?
20:10No.
20:10I beg your pardon.
20:11Well, you may ask, but I don't have to tell you.
20:14Let's hope it won't be necessary, sir.
20:17Would you mind coming to the point?
20:19The point is, Mr. Willoughby has not been seen since he left London the night before last,
20:23saying he was coming down here to sort you out.
20:27Penny!
20:29Did anybody come down here?
20:32No.
20:34Nobody at all.
20:36I never saw a soul until you came home yesterday morning.
20:40Not a soul.
20:44I'm sorry we couldn't help you.
20:46It's all right.
20:47You've been a great help.
20:47What do you mean?
20:49Elimination.
20:49What?
20:50Well, you have to eliminate every possibility, you know, in an investigation.
20:54Like Sherlock Holmes said, when you've eliminated the impossible,
20:56whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
20:59Very impressive.
21:01You should have been an actor.
21:03Thank you, sir.
21:04That's what my inspector says.
21:08Oh, by the way, it's, uh, Van Bruden.
21:11Yes?
21:12You weren't thinking of going back to America for a while, were you?
21:14No.
21:16No, I wasn't.
21:17Good.
21:18If you should think of going away anywhere, either of you,
21:21you will let us know first, won't you?
21:23Harry?
21:24We're not going anywhere.
21:26I told you, Miss Van Bruden needs peace and quiet.
21:40They know.
21:41The police, they know.
21:43They don't know anything.
21:45Now, keep calm and don't panic.
21:47I'm not going back to that institution again.
21:49I'm not.
21:50Nobody's going to put you away again, Penny.
21:52Just do everything I tell you.
21:54This is one spot of trouble you can't buy your way out of,
21:56no matter how much money you've got.
21:58What are we going to do?
22:00We're going to behave as if nothing has happened.
22:04We are not going to panic.
22:07We're not going to panic.
22:08We're not going to panic.
22:10We're not going to panic.
22:11We're not going to panic.
22:12Tonight, we're going to Margaret Tabori's party.
22:14No, I couldn't.
22:15We must.
22:18You might even enjoy it.
22:21Where's the wine?
22:22What happened to my waiters?
22:23You hire waiters, and they hide themselves in the kitchen
22:26and drink the wine themselves.
22:28Oh, why you look so sad, my dear.
22:30This is a party.
22:31At Margaret's party, everybody must be happy.
22:34Happy.
22:35Oh, where's your drink?
22:37You haven't even got to drink.
22:38Harry is getting me one.
22:40Harry?
22:40You with Harry?
22:42No wonder you look so sad.
22:44What are you laughing at, you old she-goat?
22:46About you, of course.
22:47What else should we be laughing about?
22:49Oh, he calls me a she-goat.
22:51He's a wolf from the mountains, this one.
22:53Truly.
22:53I believe he has sold his soul to the devil.
22:56You don't believe me?
22:58How else could anyone so ugly and lacking in charm
23:01manage to get a beautiful girl like yourself, huh?
23:04If you really believe that, Margaret, my love,
23:06I might just decide to put a hex on you.
23:09Oh, impossible.
23:11Unprotected species, didn't you know that?
23:13Hey, is that fine you've got there?
23:15Good.
23:15Give one glass to this lovely girl and one glass to Margaret.
23:18What about me?
23:20What's about you?
23:21You go and get yourself another one.
23:22Go on, off you go.
23:23Go on.
23:29Why are you troubled?
23:31I'm not.
23:33Listen.
23:34Please, it's no use lying to me.
23:36I know.
23:36I can feel these things.
23:39Sometimes I wish I didn't have this power, but I do.
23:43I can tell you're in trouble.
23:45Is it him?
23:48No.
23:49No.
23:51Oh, so much problems.
23:54So much unhappiness inside.
23:56Now, come on.
23:57Sit down with Margaret and tell me all about it.
24:00Come on.
24:14The next card tells me about yourself and your circumstances at the present time.
24:22La Maison de Dieu.
24:23The tower struck by lightning.
24:27Yes.
24:28Calamity.
24:30Adversity.
24:31Misery, I see.
24:33Don't tell me anymore.
24:34No, no.
24:35You must go on.
24:36We must complete the reading.
24:38The next card is concerned with people around you.
24:42People who might have an effect on you.
24:47Junom.
24:48The high priestess.
24:50Wisdom.
24:51And understanding.
24:55The next card is for inner emotions.
24:57Your hopes and fears.
25:03I was right, wasn't I?
25:05What?
25:06I told you I knew.
25:08L'amour.
25:11Death.
25:13Destruction.
25:14What the hell are you doing?
25:15Trying to scare a heart out of our wits?
25:17Well, Penny, that's enough.
25:18Wait.
25:19You haven't heard the final result.
25:21And I don't think we want to either, thank you.
25:23Never mind.
25:24I already saw it.
25:26I said, that's enough.
25:28Don't forget Juno.
25:30The high priestess.
25:32All right, darling.
25:33Yes, I'm fine.
25:34But I have another drink.
25:36Hey.
25:37Go easy now.
25:38No.
25:39It's all right.
25:39I haven't had a pill since this morning.
25:42Okay, then.
25:44Look, here's a waiter.
25:50Harry, it's him!
25:51It's him!
25:52I saw him!
25:54Harry, it's him!
25:55I saw him!
25:56I saw him!
25:57I saw him!
25:59I saw him!
26:01I saw him!
26:03No.
26:03I saw him!
26:09I saw him!
26:11I saw him!
26:20I saw him!
26:21I saw him!
26:22I saw him!
26:22I saw him!
26:22I saw him!
26:22I saw him!
26:24I saw him!
26:27I saw him!
26:33All right.
27:27Good morning, darling.
27:28What have you been doing?
27:30I thought I'd just bag her some pigeons for a pie.
27:34No luck, I'm afraid, though.
27:39You okay now?
27:41Harry, I'm not going out of my mind, am I?
27:44No, darling, of course not.
27:46I did see him.
27:48I saw him in the bedroom.
27:50I saw him at the party.
27:52He's walking.
27:54He must have got out of the grave somehow.
27:55I know it.
27:57Penny, it's not possible.
27:59I buried him.
28:00You know that.
28:02Harry, I'm really scared.
28:05I don't want to be haunted by that thing all my life.
28:07Well, I know nothing about ghosts or any of that.
28:14Junan.
28:15What?
28:16The high priestess.
28:19I don't know what you're talking about.
28:21High priestess means wisdom and understanding.
28:25Margaret will know what to do.
28:27Margaret.
28:28You mean Margaret Taburi.
28:31Harry, take me to her.
28:33Please, take me to her.
28:50Penny, I'm so glad you decided to come.
28:56It's all right.
28:57There's no one else here.
28:58I'm sorry about last night.
29:00I knew you were troubled.
29:03Didn't I tell you?
29:04Go on, sit down.
29:06Harry, there's some coffee in the kitchen.
29:08Through there.
29:09Go and make three cups.
29:10Go on, go.
29:11Penny?
29:12I'll be all right.
29:17Now.
29:20Tell me.
29:21What is the trouble?
29:25I'm being haunted.
29:27By someone you know?
29:30Yes, sort of.
29:31He died in an accident.
29:33Violently?
29:34Yes.
29:36I see.
29:38You need help.
29:41Yes, I do.
29:43Is there a physical presence?
29:46Do you see him?
29:48Yes.
29:48I saw him at the party last night.
29:50And I see him at the cottage.
29:54It's horrible.
29:56Did he die at the cottage?
30:04Would you like a drink?
30:05No.
30:06No.
30:07I'm taking pills and I don't mix with alcohol.
30:10Can you get rid of him for me?
30:12Perhaps.
30:13Perhaps not.
30:14I have to hold a seance before I can tell you that.
30:17Or anything.
30:18I don't care.
30:19Here.
30:20If you like.
30:21Now?
30:22Can you do it now?
30:24Steady, steady, my dear.
30:25I have to prepare myself for such an ordeal.
30:28To clear my mind.
30:30To gather my strength.
30:32When?
30:34Come back tomorrow.
30:36We see what can be done.
30:38Well, it's impossible to park in this damn town.
30:41Look at it.
30:41Double yellow lines everywhere.
30:42It's all right.
30:43I needed a bit of a walk anyway.
30:47Ah, it's all nonsense.
30:49It has to be.
30:50This whole damn spirituous area is one big con.
30:53Oh, I don't care.
30:54If it gets rid of Charlie, I don't care.
30:56You really are crazy.
30:58You ever say that to me?
30:59Don't you ever?
31:00Do you hear it?
31:00I'm sorry.
31:01I'm sorry.
31:01I didn't mean it.
31:03Harry, I'm sorry.
31:05Let's not fight.
31:07Okay.
31:09Whatever makes you happy.
31:11Where are you going?
31:12To the dry cleaners.
31:14Pick up my trousers.
31:15Why don't you have a look around?
31:16I'll be back in a moment.
31:49Harry, Harry, Harry, Harry, I saw him.
31:54What's the matter?
31:55I saw him in the car.
31:57I saw him.
31:58I saw him.
31:59I saw him.
32:01I saw him.
32:02Harry, I saw him.
32:16Harry, Harry, I saw him.
32:16We're home.
32:18You don't believe me?
32:20He's breaking it up.
32:23Don't show him, you know.
32:24He's not dead.
32:34Stay there.
33:04Harry, Harry, where are you?
33:24What are you doing?
33:26I'm proving it to you once and for all.
33:46Penny, you sit there.
33:51Harry?
33:52Harry?
33:53I don't want any part of this.
33:54Then go to the other room and keep quiet.
33:56Understand?
33:57No interruptions.
33:59No interference.
34:00Listen, Margaret.
34:01Harry.
34:02Please.
34:05Okay.
34:22What is his name?
34:23His name?
34:26Charlie.
34:27Charles Willoughby.
34:30Concentrate.
34:32Concentrate with me.
34:46Charles Willoughby.
34:51Charles Willoughby.
34:53Are you there?
34:58Are you there?
35:03I am here.
35:10What do you want of this woman?
35:14Revenge.
35:15Revenge.
35:16I want revenge.
35:19No.
35:20I will be revenged.
35:26Charles Willoughby.
35:28I charge you to leave her alone.
35:33Go to your rest.
35:37Do you hear?
35:39Do you hear?
35:53Penny.
35:55Penny.
35:57Penny.
35:59Here you are.
36:06I'll be all right.
36:07Take it easy.
36:09There.
36:10That's better.
36:11She's in danger, Harry.
36:12What are you talking about?
36:14Penny is in great danger.
36:15That spirit is evil.
36:17Wicked.
36:18Don't leave it, Margaret.
36:19I can't.
36:20Margaret.
36:21You've got to help me.
36:23I'm not strong enough.
36:24Then who?
36:26Oh, my dear.
36:28You need somebody with great, great powers.
36:30You need somebody with great, great powers.
36:31You must know somebody.
36:34There is only one medium I know of with sufficient power.
36:38He was over here last year trying to set up an English center.
36:42Who is he?
36:43The Swami Gupta Krishna.
36:46An Indian.
36:47He is the best in the world.
36:49It was a great tragedy when he couldn't raise the money for the English center.
36:53Can you get him?
36:55I can try, but the last I heard he was in Southeast Asia.
36:59Please, Margaret.
37:01You've got to try to find him.
37:03I'll pay whatever it costs.
37:05Steady off.
37:06Look, who cares about money for Pete's sake?
37:08I'm talking about my sanity.
37:09Okay, darling.
37:11Keep calm.
37:17Margaret.
37:17Margaret.
37:19I see what I can do.
37:20Meghan.
37:22Margaret.
37:24Let's go.
38:57Hello?
38:59Yes, this is Harry Wells.
39:01Oh, hello, Margaret.
39:04Who you have?
39:06She's located the Swami.
39:08Great, when's he coming?
39:11What?
39:13Hold on, Margaret.
39:15He's in India.
39:16He doesn't want to come.
39:17He must.
39:18How much does he want?
39:19I don't think it's a question of how much.
39:21Hang on, Margaret.
39:23Tell him I'll pay him anything that he wants.
39:25Tell him I'll give him the money he needs to open his English centre.
39:30Margaret, how much was he short of to fund his centre over here?
39:35He was short 150 grand.
39:38Okay.
39:39What?
39:40I said okay.
39:41I will give him the 150,000 pounds he needs for his centre if he will catch the next flight
39:44from India to Heathrow.
40:04The Swami Gupta Krishna, an Indian.
40:07The Swami Gupta Krishna, an Indian, an Indian.

48:49I'm sorry she went and blew her head off.
48:52£37,500 says you're not all that sorry.
48:55Anyway, you nearly blew it.
48:57What are you talking about?
48:58Yes, you, when you were playing the policeman.
49:00As Sherlock Holmes said, when you've eliminated the impossible,
49:03whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
49:06Well, I am an actor after all.
49:08Ah, I could have kicked you.
49:10Please, no acrimony.
49:11I'm just thankful I shan't have to lie around in the woods
49:13in all that stinking make-up any more.
49:15Poor Penny.
49:16I quite liked her, you know.
49:32Oh, my God! It's her!
49:36Oh, my God! It's her!
