00:02:49Venice.
00:02:51I remember the long journey from New York.
00:02:54I remember standing down on the footway of the canal waiting for Charles.
00:02:59And as I waited, phrases from his letter to me echoed through my mind.
00:03:05Juliana Bordereau, still alive.
00:03:09Surely she has his letters, Lewis.
00:03:12What a success for you if you got them.
00:03:15The publishing triumph of the decade.
00:03:18What would you like to do about it?
00:03:28Welcome to Venice, Lewis.
00:03:30How have you been, Charles?
00:03:35Have you made the arrangements?
00:03:37Yes, I have.
00:03:39All right.
00:03:53There it is, Lewis.
00:03:55Juliana.
00:03:57In that house, still alive.
00:04:00The immortal Juliana.
00:04:03105.
00:04:06That is pretty close to immortal, isn't it?
00:04:08That's where they met.
00:04:11He came to this house as a guest to have Martin Bordereau paint his portrait.
00:04:15And he met Juliana.
00:04:17The exquisite Juliana.
00:04:20This is where it began.
00:04:22The same Lewis Venable.
00:04:25Always at home with the past.
00:04:28Who would ever have thought that she'd still be here?
00:04:31In Venice.
00:04:33In that house.
00:04:36Have you seen her?
00:04:39No, I doubt if anyone ever sees her.
00:04:42Except her niece, Miss Tina Bordereau.
00:04:44And the servants.
00:04:46They're expecting me.
00:04:47There'll be no slip up.
00:04:49No, I left a deposit of 50 francs with the housekeeper.
00:04:52I think they needed the money badly.
00:04:54Tomorrow they're expecting you.
00:04:57I followed your instructions that you were William Burton, a young writer from America.
00:05:03Well, if everything is as you say it is.
00:05:06It is.
00:05:07You'll be well rewarded.
00:05:10How well?
00:05:13I'll send you $500 tomorrow.
00:05:17If you get the letters, Lewis, and publish them, you'll make a great deal of money.
00:05:24I'm not concerned about that, Charles.
00:05:27Whatever money may come of this will go to those who are entitled to it.
00:05:31To Juliana, perhaps.
00:05:37Do you know that Jeffrey Ashton was last seen in that house?
00:05:53One of these days she'll catch you in here and that'll be the end of you.
00:06:14Why don't you see who it is, Amelia?
00:06:24I think you should pull the drapes.
00:06:26The sun's beginning to come into the room.
00:06:33Amelia, did you allow the cats into the house?
00:06:36I thought I heard...
00:06:37No, Miss Tina, I didn't hear anything.
00:06:47Si, signore.
00:06:49Good day, signorina.
00:06:50I am William Burton from America.
00:06:55Would you be good enough to tell your lady that I...
00:06:57Miss Tina, he's come.
00:07:06Miss Baudereau.
00:07:07How do you do, Mr. Burton?
00:07:09I've been expected.
00:07:10Yes, you've been expected.
00:07:13This seems a perfect place to write.
00:07:16If I'm not tempted away from work, I should finish my novel by the end of the summer.
00:07:21I'll tell my aunt you've arrived.
00:07:22You and your aunt live here by yourselves?
00:07:25Yes.
00:07:26Isn't it a bit lonely here for you?
00:07:28It's only being with people that makes one lonely.
00:07:31Miss Baudereau.
00:07:33I shouldn't like to come here against your will.
00:07:36It's her will that counts.
00:07:44Miss Baudereau.
00:07:45My poor kiddies.
00:07:46You have to stay here all this time behind that curtain.
00:07:51Please, Kitty, please.
00:07:52Do you want to get all of us in trouble?
00:07:53Please.
00:07:57She hates them.
00:07:59She told me if she ever finds them in here again...
00:08:01In that case, we'd better get them out of here.
00:08:10My poor kiddies.
00:08:12I won't let her hurt you.
00:08:21She, um...
00:08:22She wouldn't really hurt them, would she?
00:08:24You don't know Miss Tina.
00:08:26The things she says.
00:08:28You mustn't tell her they were in here.
00:08:31I won't.
00:08:32I promise you, I won't.
00:08:35Don't be so frightened.
00:08:36You don't know her.
00:08:38You don't know this house.
00:08:40So far as I can see, this is the loveliest house in all Venice.
00:08:43Not only that.
00:08:45You and I shall be friends.
00:08:48Oh, yes, senor.
00:08:50Yes.
00:08:51Amelia!
00:08:53What are you talking about?
00:08:55Making more trouble?
00:08:56I told you never to speak with strangers.
00:08:58Just for Mom.
00:08:59Yes.
00:09:02I'm just waiting for Miss Bortereau.
00:09:15Had Geoffrey Ashton once lived in this cold, forbidding house...
00:09:20I felt the past close in around me like a fog, filling me with a nameless fear.
00:09:27I had a sudden impulse to turn and leave.
00:09:30Then I remembered the letters.
00:09:34The door to the present shut behind me.
00:10:03Mr. Burton.
00:10:05My aunt will see you.
00:10:07Mr. Burton.
00:10:08Mr. Burton.
00:10:27My aunt is very, very old.
00:10:30Try not to stay too long.
00:10:37Mr. Burton is here.
00:10:38Yes, I'm tired.
00:10:39I'm sorry.
00:10:42I'm sorry.
00:10:56Mr. Burton.
00:10:59Yes, sir.
00:11:01Mr. Burton.
00:11:03Mr. Burton.
00:11:05An ancient hooded skull, old, old beyond my wildest expectations, I...
00:11:16Sit down.
00:11:22Tina doesn't like strangers.
00:11:28Strangers sometimes prowl.
00:11:32I assure you won't.
00:11:34I hear you.
00:11:36I never sleep.
00:11:39I hear every sound in this house.
00:11:46Tina thinks I should send you away.
00:11:50Aunt Juliana, I warned you.
00:11:52Be quiet, Tina.
00:11:53We don't want anyone in this house.
00:11:55It's not wanting.
00:11:57It's needing.
00:12:00And you're quite unpleasant to this young man.
00:12:05Do you think that's right?
00:12:08When he leaves, he should remember us pleasantly.
00:12:13Be nice, Tina.
00:12:15Be nice.
00:12:17Mr. Burton, if you want to live here, it will cost you a great deal of money.
00:12:24I thought the arrangements had been made.
00:12:27Things have changed.
00:12:29Two hundred francs a month for a furnished...
00:12:31Nothing is furnished.
00:12:35And if you want to live here...
00:12:39I do.
00:12:41I want a thousand francs a month.
00:12:47I'll pay it.
00:12:49I want it in gold.
00:12:52Today.
00:12:53Three months in advance.
00:12:56Today.
00:13:00Go now.
00:13:02Good luck.
00:13:07Good luck.
00:13:09Good luck.
00:13:10Goodbye, Miss Portereau.
00:13:19Your rooms are across the Galleria.
00:13:21I'll show them to you now.
00:13:44There are three rooms here that connect with each other.
00:13:51You have your own entrance from the garden.
00:13:58Your mail will be brought to you.
00:14:03You are determined to seal me off from the rest of the house.
00:14:07Why?
00:14:08The arrangements were made for these rooms, Mr. Burton.
00:14:11Since you feel so strongly about me, perhaps it would be better if I...
00:14:16My aunt insists we have very little choice in the matter.
00:14:19We need the money.
00:14:21And you are willing to pay an extravagant price for this.
00:14:26Why, Mr. Burton?
00:14:40I'll get the keys, Pietro.
00:14:45Fantastic. To leave the most beautiful hotel in Venice for this.
00:14:55Good-bye, Father.
00:14:56Good-bye, Cheetah.
00:15:00Good afternoon.
00:15:01Good afternoon, Mr. Burton.
00:15:03I'd hoped to be here earlier, but by the time I've been to the bank and bought some things...
00:15:07I'm not coming at a bad time.
00:15:09It doesn't matter.
00:15:10In that event, if Pietro could have the keys.
00:15:13Amelia, will you show this man where Mr. Burton's rooms are?
00:15:18Come in, please.
00:15:27I thought if you didn't mind, Pietro could take care of the guard.
00:15:31He'll have plenty of time.
00:15:33I wrote out an agreement.
00:15:35We can both sign it if it's satisfactory to you.
00:15:37We? You mean your aunt?
00:15:39I mean I'll sign it for her.
00:16:24Was that the parish priest I saw leaving the house?
00:16:27Yes. Father Ronaldo.
00:16:30Your aunt isn't...
00:16:30You needn't worry. It's nothing serious.
00:16:32I'm glad.
00:16:34She seems so old, so frail.
00:16:38She couldn't really be your aunt.
00:16:41There must be generations between them.
00:16:44Here's your copy of the agreement, Mr. Burton.
00:17:11Here.
00:17:12Amelia.
00:17:16Come here, Amelia.
00:17:24You wanted to talk to me about something?
00:17:28I'm pleased you wanted to see me.
00:17:30Come in.
00:17:37You can sit there, Amelia. It's very comfortable.
00:17:45You can visit me whenever you like.
00:17:48Or did someone send you?
00:17:50Oh, no.
00:17:52I just wanted to see.
00:17:57You're going to be.
00:17:58You're going to be a pretty room now.
00:18:00I'm glad you like it.
00:18:02My mother would beat me if she knew I was here.
00:18:06They don't like you.
00:18:09Who doesn't like me?
00:18:12I'd better...
00:18:13Miss Tina.
00:18:15I heard them talking.
00:18:19But I like you.
00:18:21What did they say, Amelia?
00:18:25My mother said...
00:18:27You'd bring bad luck.
00:18:29And Miss Tina?
00:18:34She's wicked.
00:18:36She gave my captivator.
00:18:38Victoria.
00:18:39Don't do that.
00:18:40Dry her.
00:18:42Dry your tears.
00:18:45Go on.
00:18:47It's yours. I give it to you.
00:18:51Remember, I said we were going to be friends.
00:18:57It's so soft.
00:19:01Pretty.
00:19:05It's charming, Amelia.
00:19:08I can wear it to church.
00:19:10Yes.
00:19:11Yes.
00:19:15Amelia.
00:19:18Is Miss Tina...
00:19:20always wicked?
00:19:23No.
00:19:25Sometimes she's kind.
00:19:28Sometimes...
00:19:32It's better when she's wicked.
00:19:35Mother protect me.
00:19:36I saw her once.
00:19:37What did you see, Amelia?
00:19:40I have to go back.
00:19:41So soon.
00:19:42And leave some milk for my kittens.
00:19:47It's very dark.
00:19:48Shall I light a candle for you?
00:19:50Oh, no.
00:19:52I know my way.
00:19:55I know all the rooms...
00:19:56and all the ways to get to them.
00:19:58I hide sometimes.
00:20:00I have secret places.
00:20:04I know everything about this house.
00:20:08Perhaps, uh...
00:20:10one day you'll take me with you.
00:20:22No.
00:20:24I don't feel anything.
00:20:27Stupid girl.
00:20:28No!
00:20:29It's mine.
00:20:31No!
00:20:51I don't like strangers.
00:20:53We haven't had a cut of beef like that in a year.
00:20:59What are you looking at?
00:21:02The gardener?
00:21:03He's putting in the weeds.
00:21:05Your eyes and your head.
00:21:06You have enough to tell the priest already.
00:21:08Taking that handkerchief.
00:21:10You want to be sent away?
00:21:13Good morning.
00:21:15It looks like another warm day.
00:21:17The kettle's boiling.
00:21:18That's good.
00:21:20Miss Juliana's feeling very well this morning.
00:21:22She's sitting out on the balcony in the sun.
00:21:26You've been crying, Amelia.
00:21:30That lodger.
00:21:31It'd bring us bad luck, Miss Tina.
00:21:34The sugar jar fell and broke this morning.
00:21:36And last night there was a ring around the moon.
00:21:40Saints preserve us.
00:21:42In all the years I've been here, there's never been a man in this house.
00:21:45And now a stranger.
00:21:47All those boxes and books.
00:21:49He's carrying a walking stick.
00:22:01Mr. Burton must have some business in the city.
00:22:29Miss Joseph?
00:22:29But senört with us.
00:22:40Zip, don't you?
00:22:40Yeah, ma'am- DAVID CHoked?
00:22:48I never saw her drapeg.
00:22:49I've got him alone.
00:22:49My Somehow Mrs. sincerest, Barb.
00:23:13I hope I haven't taken up too much of your time, Father.
00:23:16No.
00:23:16But I did want to get to know you.
00:23:18I am pleased.
00:23:20You must be very lonely where you are, Mr. Burton.
00:23:23At times, I am.
00:23:25They're, um, they're rather strange people, Father.
00:23:30In what way?
00:23:32This may interest you.
00:23:35Just look at those signatures.
00:23:38Miss Juliana signed it?
00:23:39No.
00:23:41Miss Tina signed both of them.
00:23:44Oh.
00:23:46Are you concerned about its legality, Mr. Burton?
00:23:49No.
00:23:50I just, uh, I thought it was very odd.
00:23:54You did?
00:23:58Mr. Burton, let us be frank with each other.
00:24:02When Miss Tina told me that you were coming into their house as a lodger, I wondered about it.
00:24:08What would a young man, or means, obviously, want in a place like that?
00:24:13Escape from the world, perhaps?
00:24:16Forget an unhappy little affair?
00:24:18Well, which is it, Mr. Burton?
00:24:21Well, neither, Father.
00:24:23I, uh, write, as I explained to Miss Tina.
00:24:27Of course, I do confess a certain amount of, uh, curiosity.
00:24:30I put it out of my mind, Mr. Burton.
00:24:33A normal young man wouldn't want to live in that house in the wintertime.
00:24:38Unless he had a special reason.
00:24:41What are you suspecting, your father?
00:24:45Miss Tina and Miss Juliana are not average people.
00:24:49They have a life of their own.
00:24:52A world of their own.
00:24:54And a stranger upsetting the balance of that world, even unwittingly.
00:25:00You wouldn't want to cause a tragedy, would you, Mr. Burton?
00:25:04You seem to feel that I have some, uh, deep, dark motive.
00:25:08What, Father?
00:25:10I don't know.
00:25:12But I do know that a blunder might unleash things far beyond your control.
00:25:18And my control.
00:25:20I would be very careful, Mr. Burton.
00:25:30If I had any hopes of finding the letters quickly, they would soon dispel.
00:25:34I was in a blind alley.
00:25:37I had never even so much as caught a glimpse of Miss Juliana or Miss Tina.
00:25:43I wondered what they did and what they talked about.
00:25:46They seemed to me like hunted creatures, feigning death.
00:26:00They were one of their teachers, so they were not.
00:26:05They were one of their neighbors.
00:26:08And I would say, hey, go back to me.
00:26:27They went, they went, they went, they went.
00:26:29They went.
00:27:38Is that you, Mr. Burton?
00:27:42Please do come in.
00:28:00I'm not the only one who can't sleep.
00:28:03Well, I...
00:28:05No need to explain.
00:28:07There's no need.
00:28:10I was afraid for a moment I hadn't heard anything.
00:28:15That would be awful, wouldn't it?
00:28:18Just to imagine things.
00:28:22Yes, it would.
00:28:23Mr. Burton.
00:28:29Ah.
00:28:30Ah, yes.
00:28:34You must be a very rich young man.
00:28:39Why, I've been very fortunate.
00:28:43They want to take my house away, but they can't.
00:28:50They can't.
00:28:53Because as long as I stay here, I'll never die.
00:29:00Never.
00:29:02Do you know much about curiosities, Mr. Burton?
00:29:07Curiosities?
00:29:09Antiquities.
00:29:10Old Jim Cracks.
00:29:13Do you know the kind of price they bring?
00:29:19Do you want to sell something?
00:29:21Yes, I...
00:29:22I want to sell.
00:29:26Go on.
00:29:28Take it.
00:29:30Look at it.
00:29:31Look at it in the candlelight.
00:29:36It is lit, isn't it?
00:29:42Yes.
00:29:44It's lit.
00:29:45Of course, if you don't know who he is,
00:29:49it may not seem so valuable.
00:29:54I know who he is.
00:29:57Jeffrey Ashton.
00:29:58Yes.
00:30:01May I ask where you got this?
00:30:02My father
00:30:05tainted it.
00:30:07Your father.
00:30:09I happen to know something about Jeffrey Ashton.
00:30:13That's what Reiter doesn't.
00:30:16He lived a long time ago, my dear lady.
00:30:20A long time ago?
00:30:23No, it was only yesterday.
00:30:27The music floated out over the garden.
00:30:32You have no idea what famous people used to come here.
00:30:37The greatest of our time.
00:30:40The most brilliant, the gayest.
00:30:44Dancing and talking.
00:30:47The house all lighted up.
00:30:51But when he came into the house,
00:30:55that dreadful night.
00:31:01Jeffrey.
00:31:04What happened to him are the letters he wrote you.
00:31:08Do you have them?
00:31:10Would you pay my price for the painting?
00:31:13Would you really sell it?
00:31:17What is your price?
00:31:18I know the least I would take.
00:31:21What might that be?
00:31:22A thousand English pounds.
00:31:34I'll give you a thousand English pounds.
00:31:36No, not to me.
00:31:39Give it to Father Ronaldo.
00:31:41He'll know what it's for.
00:31:44Tina must not know.
00:31:46Is that clear?
00:31:49I can take this with me now.
00:31:50Yes.
00:31:51May I come again sometime and talk to you about him?
00:31:57Who was that playing?
00:31:58Good night, Mr. Burton.
00:32:01You will take the money to Father Ronaldo.
00:32:04It will take a little time to get the money transferred from the bank.
00:32:08But I will see him.
00:32:11Good night.
00:32:12Please go.
00:32:14Quickly.
00:32:23That eerie music still rang and echoed in my ears.
00:32:28Where did it come from?
00:32:30Good night.
00:32:34Good night.
00:32:43Good night.
00:32:45Good night.
00:32:49Good night.
00:32:51Good night.
00:32:52Good night.
00:32:53Good night.
00:32:54Good night.
00:32:55Good night.
00:32:55Good night.
00:32:56Good night.
00:32:56Good night.
00:35:39I had plunged off a precipice into the past.
00:35:42And here was Juliana, real, beyond belief, beautiful, alluring, alive.
00:35:51How strange this was.
00:35:55Miss Tina who walked dead among the living and living among the dead.
00:36:12So there you are.
00:36:15Where have you been prowling?
00:36:20He loves me.
00:36:22We've walked along the piazza this afternoon.
00:36:24And he bought this for me.
00:36:28And he put it on my finger.
00:36:45And he put it on my finger.
00:36:46I want so to be lovely.
00:36:49For him.
00:36:50And yet, I suppose, after all the beautiful women he's known, but he does love me.
00:36:56I know he loves me.
00:37:02I thought you'd never come.
00:37:04Well, you're very beautiful.
00:37:07You're very beautiful.
00:37:07Am I?
00:37:07Yes.
00:37:08Yes.
00:37:08I never realized before.
00:37:11I've never seen your hair that way.
00:37:13You haven't?
00:37:14You haven't?
00:37:14No, your eyes shine like that.
00:37:16One would think you'd never seen me before.
00:37:18Never like this.
00:37:20Your dress.
00:37:22It's the same one I wore when we first danced together.
00:37:26Yes, I know.
00:37:28Hold me close, Jeffrey.
00:37:32For a moment, I was afraid.
00:37:34I don't know of what.
00:37:44He's asleep.
00:37:46She is too, I think, although you can never tell about her.
00:37:51Father told me he saw you.
00:37:54I can imagine how unpleasant it must have been.
00:37:57In a way, I pity him, Jeffrey.
00:38:02He's leaving for Rome next week to paint Cardinal Petucci.
00:38:05And I'm not going with him.
00:38:08He'll be gone a month.
00:38:09It can be our month away from here.
00:38:12Away from his suspicion and hate and that horrible spying old woman.
00:38:16After that, nothing matters.
00:38:19You can write to your friend and tell him we're coming.
00:38:23A month up there in the cold white snow.
00:38:26Just the two of us.
00:38:29Nothing to be afraid of.
00:38:30No secrecy.
00:38:33Isn't that what you want, darling?
00:38:39Tell me why do you love me, Jeffrey?
00:38:42I love you because your name is Juliana.
00:38:46And because of a thousand things I cannot name.
00:39:02Your ring is so beautiful, Jeffrey.
00:39:08Only...
00:39:09Only what?
00:39:12I wish you'd inscribe something in it.
00:39:17I will.
00:39:22I have a feeling someone's been searching this room.
00:39:25Why?
00:39:26Your letters.
00:39:27It may have been Father.
00:39:30No woman since time began has ever received such letters.
00:39:34My life before you was gone.
00:39:37I will.
00:39:38I will.
00:39:40I will.
00:39:50I will.
00:39:53I will.
00:40:02My life before you was so empty.
00:40:05With you, the...
00:40:08Blow out the candle. Someone may have seen the light.
00:40:25Oh, Geoffrey, to be with you is all I ever wish for. Love me, love me.
00:40:41Good morning, Pietro.
00:40:43Good morning, signora.
00:40:44You're doing very well.
00:40:46I'm not doing so good to my back.
00:40:48This is not proper work for a gondoliere.
00:40:51For his proper pay, hm?
00:40:53Si, signora.
00:40:55This is a funny spot, signora.
00:40:57The grass will not come up.
00:41:00No?
00:41:00No.
00:41:03Perhaps there's too much clay.
00:41:05Yes, but why just here, signora?
00:41:07I'm sure I don't know, Pietro.
00:41:10I saw the signorina this morning.
00:41:12And I said to her, like you told me, if she wished to use the gondola,
00:41:15I am always at her service.
00:41:17Good for you.
00:41:18She says she have no use for the gondola.
00:41:21These are not friendly people, signora.
00:41:24Just the same.
00:41:25Cut a basket full of roses and have them sent up to Miss Judy.
00:41:32This came for you a little while ago.
00:41:38It's a beautiful day.
00:41:41I hadn't noticed it especially, if you'll excuse me.
00:41:45I asked Pietro to cut some roses for your aunt.
00:41:47That was very considerate of you, Mr. Burton, but...
00:41:49Don't you think she'd like them?
00:41:52I had the feeling that she loved beautiful things.
00:41:56And that once, she herself was beautiful.
00:42:01She was.
00:42:02Is there a portrait of her in the house?
00:42:05No.
00:42:06Oh, what a pity.
00:42:09I would have given anything to have seen what she was like.
00:42:13Her hair down about her shoulders.
00:42:16Her eyes shining.
00:42:18Her beauty, the despair of thoughts.
00:42:22Was she happy?
00:42:27I've often wondered if beauty doesn't bring more sorrow than happiness.
00:42:33Miss Tina, last night I heard music.
00:42:37Music?
00:42:38We're a long way from the piazza.
00:42:40It wasn't that kind of music.
00:42:42I heard it in my room.
00:42:44It was faint.
00:42:46Lovely.
00:42:47It seemed like music out of another century.
00:42:51That came from the other side of the house.
00:42:54You must be a writer of romantic stories, Mr. Burton.
00:42:58No one lives on the other side of the house.
00:43:00And there couldn't have been any music.
00:43:03Perhaps.
00:43:06After all, this place does stimulate one's imagination.
00:43:12Mr. Burton.
00:43:14I've never understood why you came here.
00:43:17But for whatever reason, it would be better if you left.
00:43:27This time I was instructed to see your father.
00:43:30By whom?
00:43:31Miss Bortereau, the elder.
00:43:33Who?
00:43:34I, uh, purchased a painting from her.
00:43:36A miniature.
00:43:38The sum was a thousand pounds.
00:43:40She didn't want her niece to know about the transaction.
00:43:42She instructed me to bring the money to you.
00:43:44Here it is.
00:43:45She said you would know what to do with it.
00:43:47When did you see her?
00:43:49Last night, father.
00:43:51And Miss Tina knows nothing about her?
00:43:53No.
00:43:56Well, thank you, Mr. Burton, for bringing the money.
00:43:59If I may, father, I'd like to ask a question.
00:44:02Why, certainly.
00:44:02Miss Tina?
00:44:03Well, I, uh, read a rather curious story yesterday.
00:44:08In a strange way, it was concerned with faith.
00:44:10The power of believing.
00:44:12What was the story, Mr. Burton?
00:44:14It was about a girl.
00:44:16Who seemed to lead two lives.
00:44:19One in the present.
00:44:20And the other in the past.
00:44:23You have found out about Miss Tina.
00:44:27I was afraid that you would.
00:44:30My advice to you, Mr. Burton, is to leave.
00:44:32Before I caused the tragedy you spoke about.
00:44:35Yes.
00:44:36Isn't it a tragedy now, father?
00:44:38Perhaps, Mr. Burton.
00:44:40But if she didn't have the past, she would have nothing.
00:44:43There she knows happiness.
00:44:45Even a kind of love.
00:44:48There is nothing no one in the present who can give at that.
00:44:51That's why, in her case, I prefer illusion to reality.
00:44:57Your money will save the Bordeaux house.
00:45:01I can only trust that Miss Tina won't miss the painting.
00:45:06It was the painting of Geoffrey Ashton, wasn't it?
00:45:26It was the painting.
00:45:41Good evening, Charles.
00:45:43Well, Lewis, when did you get back?
00:45:46You came to see Miss Bordeaux?
00:45:47No, of course not.
00:45:49I waited at Florian's.
00:45:50Since I had to see you, I came here.
00:45:53Shall we go to my rooms?
00:46:01Well, this is an interesting house.
00:46:04I literally feel crowded by ghosts.
00:46:09Why, this is charming, Lewis. Charming.
00:46:13Why did you want to see me?
00:46:15I was curious about the progress you're making.
00:46:18After all, it's been some time since you vanished into this tomb.
00:46:23When I sent you the money, Charles, our business was over.
00:46:27I thought that was clear.
00:46:28But your business...
00:46:30If, uh, if you find the love letters, Lewis, it'll be quite a windfall, won't it?
00:46:35The love letters of Geoffrey Ashton in a beautiful little volume.
00:46:40Why, they'll sell like wildfire.
00:46:42Every dreaming girl, every tongue-tied lover will carry the book next to his heart.
00:46:46A million copies, Lewis.
00:46:49A million dollars.
00:46:51I told you, I'm not after money.
00:46:54Yes, yes, Lewis.
00:46:55I know how noble your motives are.
00:46:58Your concern for the world and its need for beauty.
00:47:03But I'm concerned about myself.
00:47:05And I have a desperate need for money.
00:47:07You're being tiresome.
00:47:09It'd be a shame if the divine Juliana should discover that her lodger was not William Burton, an eager young
00:47:15writer.
00:47:16But, uh, Lewis Venable, an unscrupulous publisher, grave digging for the love letters of Geoffrey Ashton.
00:47:24Now, look here, Charles.
00:47:28I don't want to add her in...
00:47:29I've been discussing your work with Miss Tina.
00:47:31She's, uh, quite interested in what you're doing.
00:47:35Don't you think she's a beautiful woman, Lewis?
00:47:38Strange, but don't you feel...
00:47:39Get out, Charles.
00:47:41You don't frighten me, Lewis.
00:47:42You've been paid for your services.
00:47:44Why didn't you get the letters yourself?
00:47:45It isn't too late.
00:47:47Get out.
00:48:04Trial.
00:48:10Trial.
00:48:29My aunt would like to see you, Mr. Burton.
00:48:32I know it's very late, but I saw the light coming from underneath your door.
00:48:37I haven't interrupted your writing, have I?
00:48:40No, no, I was just reading.
00:48:43If you'll excuse me for a moment.
00:49:02I hope that Charles, uh, Mr. Russell, didn't cause you any inconvenience this afternoon.
00:49:07I didn't mind.
00:49:09He's a great admirer of yours.
00:49:11He seems to think you're doing very important work.
00:49:13Oh, Charles was in one of his extravagant moods.
00:49:17Isn't it odd that I can't think of you as a writer at all?
00:49:22Mr. Burton is here.
00:49:23Oh, how nice.
00:49:25How kind of you, Mr. Burton.
00:49:27It's always a pleasure to see you, Miss Bortereau.
00:49:29Is it?
00:49:30Is it?
00:49:31Don't close the door, Tina.
00:49:34That is, uh, mightn't we all have some tea together?
00:49:38At this hour?
00:49:39Hour?
00:49:39There's no difference between hours for me.
00:49:42No morning, no night, no seasons.
00:49:45Please, Tina, some tea for Mr. Burton and myself.
00:49:49Mr. Burton may not care for tea.
00:49:52I'd like it very much.
00:49:53There.
00:49:54You see, Tina?
00:49:56Go on.
00:49:57Go on.
00:49:57It's so long since I've entertained.
00:50:00Very well.
00:50:02I won't be long.
00:50:03Our best silver service and our bone china teacups.
00:50:08It will be a party.
00:50:10A tea party.
00:50:13It's kind of you to send the flowers, Mr. Burton.
00:50:17Amelia tells me you've done wonders with the garden.
00:50:20And, oh, what a wonderful garden it was.
00:50:24I can well imagine.
00:50:25Mr. Burton.
00:50:27Yes?
00:50:28Go to the door.
00:50:29See if she's there.
00:50:42She's gone.
00:50:44Mr. Burton.
00:50:45Give me my ring.
00:50:48Your ring?
00:50:49You have it.
00:50:50I know.
00:50:51I know how it happened.
00:50:52She's kept after me all day.
00:50:55She's searched the room.
00:50:57How could I have lost it?
00:51:00You see, she doesn't know.
00:51:02And I've been sitting here thinking.
00:51:05And all of a sudden, I knew.
00:51:08Last night, you heard the music, didn't you, Mr. Burton?
00:51:12You said so.
00:51:13Yes, I did.
00:51:14And you followed the music to my room.
00:51:17And you saw her.
00:51:19And somehow, you got the ring.
00:51:24Give it to me, Mr. Burton.
00:51:27Please.
00:51:28Please.
00:51:35Oh, thank you.
00:51:38Thank you, Mr. Burton.
00:51:41It's so terrible when she's like that.
00:51:46She's Juliana.
00:51:48Me.
00:51:49And do you know who she thinks I am?
00:51:53Rosa.
00:51:54Rosa?
00:51:56Our old housekeeper.
00:51:58How I hated her.
00:52:00Miss Tina hates her, too.
00:52:04Sometimes, I'm afraid she's going to kill me.
00:52:08She wouldn't do that.
00:52:10Wouldn't she?
00:52:11Wouldn't she?
00:52:13Last night, she said I had been spying on her.
00:52:17And there was murder in her voice, Mr. Burton.
00:52:20You have nothing to fear.
00:52:22Miss Tina isn't capable of murder.
00:52:24What you know about murder.
00:52:28It's the gentle souls who seem sweet and loving to the world with the innocence of children.
00:52:36And then, out of nowhere, something happens.
00:52:43And you have murder, Mr. Burton.
00:52:46The ring.
00:52:48How did you get it from her?
00:52:52Miss Tina wanted me to inscribe some words on it.
00:52:56I was going to return it to you.
00:52:58No words.
00:52:59Words.
00:53:00We had no need of that.
00:53:02You and Jeffrey.
00:53:04Yes.
00:53:06You must have been very proud.
00:53:07Oh, yes.
00:53:09And loved him.
00:53:10Yes, yes.
00:53:12But I wasn't as proud as she is, nor loved him as much.
00:53:19I feel sometimes that she's taken him away from me.
00:53:24No one could do that.
00:53:26Well, I was very beautiful.
00:53:32And he, he was like a god.
00:53:39The ring.
00:53:42Is that how it begins with Miss Tina?
00:53:46She comes here and takes it.
00:53:48And then becomes you, Juliana.
00:53:51The ring and the letters.
00:53:54The letters?
00:53:55How?
00:53:56I used to read them to her as a child.
00:54:00She liked to hear them over and over again.
00:54:05Her eyes would shine as if they were fairy tales.
00:54:10And when I couldn't see to read anymore,
00:54:13I told her where I kept them hidden,
00:54:17and she'd read them to me.
00:54:19Then she wouldn't let me have them at all.
00:54:23And it began.
00:54:25She read them up there, alone.
00:54:31And became me.
00:54:35And I became Rosa.
00:54:38When I ask her for the letters, she doesn't hear me.
00:54:42But they're my letters, Mr. Burton.
00:54:46Mine.
00:54:48And if I had them, she'd never become Juliana again.
00:54:53Where are they?
00:54:54Do you know?
00:54:55Would you get them for me?
00:54:56Would you?
00:54:57Yes, of course.
00:54:58I've asked Father Ronaldo so many times,
00:55:01but he says they belong to her now.
00:55:04And the others, Maria, Emilia,
00:55:06I've asked them, and they're afraid.
00:55:09They know.
00:55:10And they're afraid of her.
00:55:13And that room.
00:55:16Is that where they are, in that room?
00:55:19Yes.
00:55:21I want to touch them.
00:55:24Know that they're mine.
00:55:27I used to keep the letters in a box, behind the Bible.
00:55:33Behind the Bible?
00:55:34No one knew where they were.
00:55:37Not even Jeffrey.
00:55:43You are so quick, Tina.
00:55:46We'll have our party now.
00:55:48I was telling Mr. Burton about the dahlias we used to have along the East Wall.
00:55:53He may put some in next week,
00:55:55although it's a little late for dahlias.
00:55:58Did you bring the bone-shiner cups?
00:56:01Yes.
00:56:17Lemon or cream, Mr. Burton?
00:56:20Lemon, please.
00:56:46It's quite late.
00:56:50I'd better go.
00:56:52You will come again, Mr. Burton?
00:56:55Yes, I will.
00:56:57Good night.
00:56:58Soon.
00:56:59Soon.
00:57:01Good night, Miss Tina.
00:57:12Good night.
00:57:24Good night.
00:57:33Good night.
00:57:36Let's go.
00:58:10Let's go.
00:58:35Let's go.
00:59:13Let's go.
00:59:14Let's go.
00:59:15Let's go.
00:59:15Let's go.
00:59:31Let's go.
00:59:33Let's go.
00:59:33Let's go.
00:59:33Let's go.
00:59:33Let's go.
00:59:36Let's go.
00:59:44Let's go.
00:59:51Let's go.
