00:00.
00:50Oh, my God.
01:13Oh, my God.
01:31Oh, my God.
01:33Oh, my God.
01:37Oh, my God.
01:51You're up very early, aren't you?
01:52Horrible, isn't it?
01:54But I've got to exercise an ideal early because I want to take her up to town.
01:58Morning, Mommy.
01:59Morning, darling.
02:01You won't forget to get my dress for tonight, will you?
02:03I won't.
02:04Watson!
02:05Watson!
02:06Daddy can't get his boot off.
02:07Too much port, I expect.
02:09Audrey, you're not to talk of your father like that.
02:11Now, run along.
02:12You'll be late for school.
02:13I don't care if I am late.
02:15I hate school.
02:16Oh.
02:17You used to love it.
02:20You have changed lately, haven't you?
02:22Growing up, that's all.
02:24Yes, I suppose that's it.
02:27Audrey, what would you say, now Joyce is getting married?
02:33If I asked Daddy if we could leave this big house and go to the smaller one.
02:37Oh, no, Mommy.
02:39I know Daddy's hard up.
02:41But it'll be all right now, Mr. Eber, is putting money into the farm.
02:44I think it's a jolly good thing, Joyce marrying his son.
02:48It's not quite what I meant.
02:51Come in.
02:54Breakfast in a few minutes, Madam.
02:55Oh, thank you, Watson.
02:56Mr. Prescott refused his breakfast and has gone to the veterinary surgeon.
02:59Oh, what?
03:00He asked me to deal with one or two matters during his absence.
03:03I don't think I want any breakfast either.
03:04I didn't sleep well.
03:06I trust you weren't disturbed, Madam.
03:07What?
03:08Oh, no.
03:09Thank you, Watson.
03:11I regret I inform you, Madam, that Mrs. Venning...
03:14Oh, not again.
03:17Mr. Prescott doesn't know, does he?
03:20Oh, no, Madam.
03:20Very well.
03:21I'll come down and see her.
03:23Oh, uh, Watson.
03:24There isn't anything else irregular, is there?
03:27No, Madam.
03:29Everything perfectly normal.
03:31Oh, dear.
03:32More trouble?
03:34Yes, Madam.
03:40No.
03:41Not even if Miss Joyce was having quinnors, I wouldn't say.
03:43I've worn my blinking suitcase out, packing it this last month.
03:46Nothing's going to stop me leaving this time.
03:49The way you go on leaving, I should keep your case packed.
03:52Oh.
03:53Oh, good morning, Mrs. Venning.
03:56It's, um...
03:57It's a lovely day, isn't it?
03:59Beautiful, Madam.
04:00But with due respect, I wouldn't rightly care if it was raining cats and dogs.
04:04Not even if they were human cats and dogs.
04:06I think Mrs. Venning means if it was real rain, Madam.
04:10Yes, a wet sort.
04:12Oh, dear.
04:14What has happened this time?
04:18It's me hat.
04:20Me Sunday hat, too, Mum.
04:21Right through the middle.
04:23Oh.
04:24What a shame.
04:25And such a beautiful hat.
04:28First I thought it was him.
04:30Then them.
04:31Now I know it's it.
04:33And it's at it, Mum.
04:34It's such a pretty hat, too.
04:37But fortunately, Mrs. Venning, I have one.
04:39I'm sorry, Mum.
04:41Oh, but it's the very latest model.
04:44I wore it on my honeymoon.
04:47It comes from Paris, Mrs. Venning.
04:49Paris?
04:51Did you say Paris, Mum?
04:53Paris.
04:56Now, I might oblige.
04:58Oh, thank you, Mrs. Venning.
05:00I'm so glad.
05:01And I do hope everything will be all right in future.
05:03I hope so.
05:05Oh, don't you worry.
05:06I'll take the tray.
05:08Yes, and I'll take her case, Madam.
05:13Well, uh...
05:14Yours.
05:15Yes, and I'll take the tray.
05:30Savvy and wily idiots.
05:33Breakfast ready, dear?
05:42Hilda, what is the matter with you this morning?
05:45Nothing, Wilfred.
05:46Nothing.
05:47There certainly is.
05:48What's going on in there?
05:49Don't go in there, Wilfred, please.
05:51What's got into everybody this morning?
05:52Have you all gone crazy?
06:09Coal?
06:11Coal?
06:11Well, I died.
06:12It's that coal again.
06:14Where?
06:14Drawing room now.
06:16First time he's seen it.
06:17And about time, too.
06:18Men don't know much of what goes on in the house, do they, Venny?
06:21Men.
06:23Now, I've told them about those noises.
06:26Horrible things they are when you're off asleep.
06:29Oh, Mrs. Venning, about that drawing room rug that you found with a hole burned in it,
06:33I wrote to the insurance company and claimed 25 pounds.
06:36They're sending their assessor today to see it.
06:38Um, Mr. Harris.
06:40Oh.
06:41Oh, and Mrs. Venning, you won't say anything about what happens.
06:46Very good, Mother.
06:52What a man, Mother.
06:53Hmm?
06:55Nothing, darling, just a headache, I thought.
06:56Didn't you sleep well again?
06:58No.
06:59Did you?
07:00Mm.
07:01Fine.
07:02Oh.
07:05Look what Mr. Every has sent your father.
07:11That's jolly good.
07:14I'm Sally the belle of the Hilton Grange herd.
07:17I know it's good, I put my all in it.
07:20That's just what Daddy wants.
07:22Somebody commercial.
07:24Anyway, our herd's milk will be a jolly good ad for old Every.
07:30What is the matter, Mommy?
07:32Those awful noises.
07:34Thumping and dragging.
07:36I don't think I can stand it much longer.
07:40My goodness, the study.
07:42He mustn't see the study.
07:49No, no, Wilfrey, don't go in there.
07:52Now, don't tell me there are noises in the study as well.
07:55Well, no, not exactly.
07:57It does creak a little, but mostly things just sort of turn round in there.
08:03Turn round?
08:04Hilda, have you been drinking?
08:06I wish I had.
08:08Wait, Scott.
08:10Well, I'm dead.
08:11There, I told you.
08:13And grandfather.
08:15I do, I know.
08:16I know exactly.
08:17It was that boy I sent.
08:19The one who drove the tractor.
08:20It's not, Wilfrey.
08:21It couldn't be.
08:22He can't make noises.
08:24What's those noises?
08:25Oh, stop jabbering about noises, Hilda.
08:29The old brook did this to get his own back.
08:31It's perfectly clear.
08:31Well, what about the lights?
08:33What lights?
08:34On the top floor.
08:34In the attic.
08:35In the middle of the night.
08:36How could you see light on the top floor in the middle of the night when you're asleep in bed?
08:40Listening to the noises?
08:42Well, I haven't.
08:43But lots in the village people have.
08:44Well, bolt all the windows at night.
08:46And I'll tell the boy's father to turn his behind.
08:49And that's that.
08:50I wish I could believe you, Wilfred.
08:52But I can't.
08:54This house has become unbearable.
08:56It's horrifying.
08:59Hilda, we've lived here happily for 20 years.
09:01And now it's horrifying.
09:03It's ridiculous.
09:04You must pull yourself together.
09:06I can't have you like this when he fully comes.
09:08Well, I have tried, Wilfred.
09:10Really, I have.
09:10I can't help it.
09:12I'm just frightened here.
09:14It's so awful to come down in the morning and find all the pictures turned to the wall.
09:18And then there's the coal.
09:20Oh.
09:21Oh, sorry, sir.
09:22Come in, Watson.
09:24Hilda, you need a holiday.
09:26Away from the house and the girls.
09:29Watson.
09:30Have you noticed anything strange in here recently?
09:33No, sir.
09:34Everything quite regular.
09:36But what's in those pictures?
09:37Some are best under the wall.
09:39That's my grandfather.
09:41Oh, I'm sorry, sir.
09:43But Wilfred, the coal.
09:45And the...
09:46The noises.
09:47Things do go bump in the night, sir.
09:48Then I've found something always is happening at night, sir.
09:51And I've learned to live and let live.
09:53There you are, Hilda.
09:54And he sleeps upstairs.
09:56Get that door in them cleared up.
09:58This can wait.
09:58Very good, sir.
10:00Now let us go and see the rug.
10:02And you'll feel better there.
10:03But I don't...
10:04Now, now, now, now.
10:06Very well, dear.
10:07Nerves, worries, fancies, that's all it is.
10:12What the devil?
10:14Someone's broken the window.
10:21Look on the floor, Wilfred.
10:26Coal.
10:31Court, Missy.
10:32There's no glass here.
10:34I'm off now, Mummy.
10:35Mummy, I'm having tea with Freddy and his mother.
10:37They're driving me down.
10:38All right, darling.
10:39Well, hurry along now.
10:40Bye-bye, Mummy.
10:41Bye-bye, Daddy.
10:43Hilda, I'm beginning to realize what you're up against.
10:46Well?
10:49A catapult.
10:50That's what I think.
10:52I'll catapult and it'll blight him when I get hold of him.
10:58You'd better get some wine up for dinner, Watson.
11:01And I've had enough steam up the label, sir.
11:04Made in England and pork type, rather a prejudice one, I feel, sir.
11:07No, we'll have a good stop this time.
11:09Oh, very good, sir.
11:10Have you seen it yet, Wilfred?
11:12I've got to show it to the chap when he comes.
11:14Is that all you can say?
11:15Oh, for heaven's sake, relax, Silver.
11:17What with your fancy, an evening coming.
11:19And Drew's trying to get rid of Sally.
11:21Is everybody in this house going...
11:23Oh, no, no, I can't see it anymore, I mean, I can't see it.
11:34Cheated, pig's food, rabbit hutches, mange cures, flea powders, manures, and all fertilizers at the back door.
11:39There.
11:41No farm implement through here.
11:43Office entrance at the back door.
11:45Round there.
11:46I'll tell you know I have no implement.
11:48War war?
11:49No, great war.
11:50You get fish in the middle, then, you'll cop it.
11:52First right, first right again, and you'll find it.
11:54I'm here on business, top pleasure.
11:56I represent the Empire Insurance Company.
11:58Somebody's burnt a hole in the rug here and is trying to touch us for it.
12:01Now, why didn't you say that in the first place?
12:03Mr. Prescott has been waiting for you.
12:05Oh, that's better.
12:07Back door.
12:30Good afternoon.
12:31And, uh, what can I do for you?
12:34Oh, uh, this way, sir.
12:36Go on.
12:38Yes.
12:44The insurance person, sir.
12:46Yeah, mind your manners.
12:48Oh, yes.
12:49How to do, squire.
12:50Joe Harris.
12:51Empire Insurance.
12:52Come to settle your little bit of trouble, sir.
12:55That's right, sir.
12:56Harris is the name.
12:57Always pays on the dot.
12:58No unnecessary questions asked.
13:00We're not for a start at any rate.
13:01Sit down and shut up.
13:03Eh?
13:03Well, I mean, a gentleman like you has no idea what we run off against.
13:06I mean, I've got a case of arson in here, red hot.
13:09Eh, you get ten years for that.
13:11That's very interesting.
13:12Once I get my teeth or something, I'd only go in a hurry.
13:13I can tell you.
13:14You better keep them insured.
13:15You never can tell.
13:17Well, I can give you just ten minutes.
13:19I've got some people arriving.
13:21I suppose you want to have a look at the rug?
13:22Yeah, better have a deco.
13:23How was it burnt?
13:24I suppose a coal fell out of the fire.
13:26Oh, where did that happen?
13:28And the Frenchist.
13:28The cook found it.
13:29I'll give up.
13:30Very good.
13:31Oh, yes.
13:32Good for it.
13:36Lucky, I didn't make the claim.
13:38Well, I've charged you 50 pounds.
13:39Well, 25 quid a hole isn't exactly cheap.
13:41Well, that's a matter of opinion.
13:43That's true.
13:43Last week, I had to pay 500 quid for one.
13:46Really?
13:47What, a Persian?
13:48Chinese.
13:49Queer, but expensive.
13:50Lovely on the floor, though.
13:53Yeah, I wouldn't mind spitting one out at home.
13:54Not half, I wouldn't.
13:55I once laid a Turk.
13:57In there.
13:58But my wife wouldn't stand for it.
14:01Wives.
14:02Very narrow-minded.
14:03But the color was very attractive.
14:04Well, it sounded very attractive about a horse to them, as of them.
14:08At 25 quid a time.
14:09My good fellow, you seem to think I'd be glad the rug was burnt.
14:12But it is disfigured.
14:14And naturally, I want my money.
14:15Come in and join them.
14:17Oh, no offense, men.
14:19Watson, tell Mrs. Velley I want them.
14:24That's a very valuable fur.
14:26Oh, yes.
14:27Oh, that's a lovely bit of skin, that is.
14:30Lose your way in there, couldn't you?
14:31North American bear.
14:32Go on.
14:33Yes, there's a nasty hole, ladies.
14:35Why, the thing's ruined.
14:36Make a nice set of dinner mats out of it, couldn't you?
14:38Hair soup every day, then, eh?
14:40Ha, ha, ha, ha.
14:41Yes.
14:43You said for me, sir?
14:44Mrs. Venning.
14:46When did you find that rug burnt?
14:49Last Tuesday, it was.
14:50I shall never forget it to my dying day.
14:52I know it was last Tuesday, because that's the day the girl didn't get out.
14:55That's going to bed without the guard in front of it.
14:58The mistress always leaves the guard there, sir.
15:01I see.
15:02Mummy, I couldn't get my little finger through that.
15:04Well, that's the idea of having a guard, so nothing can get through.
15:07But a little cold couldn't make a big hole like that.
15:09It could have started it burning, couldn't it?
15:11Where?
15:12That's all I've got to say.
15:14Hmm.
15:14Don't whoop me.
15:15I don't like it.
15:16Excuse me, sir, but...
15:17But what?
15:18Nothing could have got through that guard there.
15:21Not even a little ember.
15:23What the blazes do you mean, Mrs. Venning?
15:25Because there wasn't no fire.
15:28No fire?
15:30There hasn't been one in here for a month.
15:33Oh-ho.
15:34Now I've got me to eat any insurance or not.
15:37Oh, this is ridiculous.
15:38It must have been a cigarette.
15:40No, sir.
15:41I found the coal in the old.
15:43Same as me at.
15:44But you said...
15:45There were no fire here, sir.
15:47Arson, that's what.
15:48How the devil can a live coal get on a rug when there's no fire?
15:51How can one get in me at box?
15:53I'm not interested in your hat.
15:54Any claim?
15:56Well, I never thought of that, Mr. Harris.
15:59No, there's no claim.
16:00Oh, Wilfred, there's...
16:03Oh.
16:05There's a what?
16:07There's a Mr. Spencer to see you.
16:09Yes, yes, yes.
16:10But I want to get this business straightened out.
16:12First I find the face covered in coal, then there's a fire and no coal.
16:15I'd like the recipe for that one.
16:16Oh, dear.
16:17Can I claim for me atman?
16:19Well, I...
16:19You can try, Cookie.
16:20Any more claims here, then I call a copper.
16:22Harris, you're being too familiar.
16:23Mrs. Venning, please get the tea.
16:25I'll tell Mr. Harris all about it.
16:26I'll bet.
16:27And me atman?
16:28Well, not now, Mrs. Venning.
16:33Wilfred, I've just seen Mr. Ebrey's car.
16:35He'll be here any moment.
16:36What?
16:37You must go.
16:37Not likely.
16:38Hilda, put Ebrey in here.
16:40Harris, come with me.
16:45Thank you for a moment, Spencer.
16:46Mr. Prescott, I think I can help you.
16:48Now, don't worry about the old cow.
16:50She'll be all right as soon as I've done the coal business.
16:52I'm sure of it.
16:52Lummi, I wouldn't cook you enough for a million.
16:54What on earth's the coal to do with the old cow?
16:56Well, somebody's got to clear it up and make each other.
16:58Have you gone mad too?
17:00Oh, that's the feature of these cases, Mr. Prescott.
17:02Everything does seem mad.
17:03That's right.
17:04Played insanity.
17:05He'll get off for six months.
17:06Will you keep quiet, Harris?
17:07Oh, don't blame him.
17:08He doesn't understand.
17:09Nor do I.
17:10Except in the agricultural college to see a cow.
17:13Agricultural college, my dear sir.
17:15I come from the college of psychical research.
17:17What?
17:18Psychical research.
17:19The investigation of unnatural and supernatural phenomena.
17:22Of course.
17:22Tell him if he don't frighten himself to death.
17:24What the devil are you doing, stripping around my house?
17:26Mr. Prescott, your animals are ill and no one knows why.
17:29There are lights, signs, manifestations.
17:32Windows are broken.
17:34Coal scattered over the floor.
17:36Things are burnt when no fire or flame exists.
17:39Let me have a ghost in a minute.
17:40How do you mean?
17:41Not exactly a ghost, Mr. Harris.
17:43But a scientifically recognized manifestation.
17:45The old ghost, do you mean?
17:46A poltergeist.
17:47A person in a house possessed of a mischievous, sometimes evil spirit.
17:51Oh, it's optics.
17:52Oh, not at all.
17:53You've read of them frequently in the papers.
17:55There was that child at Market only last week.
17:57Oh, I don't remember that.
17:58No, no.
17:59It's just a setup to cover the old.
18:00Right.
18:00Mr. Prescott, I assure you, a poltergeist was taking possession of this house.
18:04A polter, or whatever you call it, may or may not have taken possession of this house.
18:09Mr. Spencer, a dumb fool, faddling, psycho investigator is going to do the same thing.
18:14I beg of you to treat this seriously.
18:15It can be dangerous.
18:16It can be a lot of twaddle, too.
18:18You know where the door is, I think.
18:20Oh, very well.
18:20Very well.
18:21But you'll need me sooner or later.
18:23I'll be waiting at the crown.
18:43Oh, good afternoon, good afternoon.
18:45A word of advice to you, sir.
18:47Be careful.
18:48Be very, very careful.
18:52Well, well, I never.
18:54Make a note of it, Miss Pintock.
18:56Now, get this in here, thick head.
18:58I will draw in my claim.
19:00So now you can clear out.
19:01It's out of your hands now.
19:02Once a pony claim is made.
19:04Will you clear out?
19:05I got my teeth in that rug, and once I get my teeth in anything, I don't...
19:08Take it out and chew it.
19:09Out you go.
19:10Good afternoon, good afternoon, Prescott.
19:11Hope I don't disturb you.
19:13Save a broken life.
19:14Great, you can't.
19:18Not at all, my dear Ivery.
19:20Of course you don't.
19:21Let me present you to Mr. Harris, a friend of mine.
19:24A director of the Empire Insurance Company.
19:26Hey, Harris?
19:27Good night, good night.
19:28Sit down, Mr. Ivery.
19:29Surely, Harris, you recognize Vincent Ivery, the great industrialist?
19:33The farmer of Ivery's food for every man?
19:35Oh, you flatter me, Prescott.
19:37Just a humble working millionaire, but interested in insurance, Mr. Harris.
19:41Very interested.
19:41Oh, really?
19:42Oh, Harris is the man for that.
19:44The greatest expert in England.
19:46Eh, Harris?
19:47Well, it's hard to say that.
19:49As you're staying for the celebrations, we must have a long talk on insurance, eh?
19:52Staying?
19:54Well, I dare say I could fix you up with a few policies.
19:57I've been pressing Harris to stay, but unfortunately he has to go.
20:02Almost at once.
20:03Haven't you, Harris?
20:04Yes.
20:05Oh, no doubt I could cancel a couple of directors' meetings and put off the Bank of England, if you
20:09insist.
20:10Excellent, my dear fellow, excellent.
20:12There's going to be a wonderful party, and we shall need insurance advice on this business of ours, Prescott.
20:16I brought the draft contracts.
20:18Mabel!
20:19Mabel!
20:20Miss Winter.
20:25Yes, Mr. Ivery?
20:27The, uh, the Prescott contract.
20:34And Debbie, or Mr. Ivery, I mean, can I have a car for the weekend?
20:39No, it's the grindstone, eh?
20:41Of course, of course.
20:44I wouldn't mind having me noose on that grindstone.
20:47Eh, Prescott, old fellow?
20:48You old devil.
20:50So that's how you lost your hair.
20:52My hair?
20:53What about his, eh, Harris?
20:55I'd like to know a few of his tricks.
21:01The tea is served in the drawing room.
21:03Good.
21:03Let's have a cup of tea.
21:04That's a good idea.
21:05Oh, my dear Mrs. Prescott, very kind of you to have me on this happy occasion.
21:08I'm so glad you could come.
21:10You go along, I'll follow you.
21:13Yes, I think I'll stay after all my men.
21:16You might get a room ready for me, will you?
21:18I prefer a southern exposure.
21:22You can stop that in your whistle and blow a cock.
21:25I did not stipulate my best suit, Mr. Harris.
21:31But, sir, it's quite fit.
21:33Fit?
21:34The boys would have a fee to take a seat in the old soup and fish.
21:37And, doubtless, many others, Mr. Harris.
21:43Oi.
21:44Put your trousers up.
21:51Pardon.
21:52Granted.
21:54Yes, I do feel that...
21:55Yes, indeed, a very excellent dinner, eh, Harris?
21:58Oh, taboo, taboo.
22:02Not off.
22:03Excuse me, gentlemen.
22:04But Mr. Prescott suggested that you take pork without him.
22:06Oh, he's a bit late, Doc.
22:08He will be outside the front entrance with the car in five minutes.
22:11Oh, very thoughtful of him.
22:13Eh, Harris?
22:13Very thoughtful.
22:14Yes.
22:21Oh, very be, old man.
22:23I'll have the details of that policy for you tomorrow.
22:26Excellent, my dear fellow, excellent.
22:28I'll give it by scrutiny.
22:30Eh?
22:31Excuse me.
22:32After you were the waltz, Harris.
22:34Oh, I'm a scufflet, sorry.
22:41Would you catch me a cigar, sir?
22:42Oh, thank you.
22:43Oh, no, I have one.
22:45Thank you, Harris.
22:47Yes.
22:57Hi, Jingle.
22:58A manifestation.
22:59I'm perceiving right in my life.
23:01Oh.
23:02A brandy, gentlemen?
23:03Eh, yes, yes.
23:03Plenty of brandies.
23:05Yes.
23:05Oh, sir.
23:09What's up?
24:03Come on.
24:03What is this?
24:04This is the candle.
24:04What's the candle?
24:05Bendy!
24:06Bendy!
24:06Wait there, darling.
24:12Joyce!
24:12Mother!
24:13The curtains are on fire.
24:15What?
24:15Where's Audrey?
24:17Bendy!
24:17What an action man!
24:18Don't be damn silly!
24:19Women and children fast!
24:20Evening!
24:21Wait a minute!
24:21What is the explanation?
24:23Lights!
24:23Wavy lights!
24:24Curtains burning!
24:24Undo nothing!
24:25Ghosts!
24:26That's what it is!
24:27Ash!
24:28Ghosts!
24:28Oh, not exactly that, Mr. Ebrey.
24:31I think we'd better tell him, Prescott.
24:32I suppose, sir.
24:34Coming to the drawing.
24:35Oh, sorry, I'd love to...
24:36Oh, what?
24:41Oh, thank him.
24:43Oh, thank him.
24:47Oh, what is it, darling?
25:01Thank you, sir.
25:03You can go to bed, Watson.
25:05Uh-huh.
25:14I suppose I should thank you.
25:17And who considers me?
25:18Bottles move, things turn, curtains catch on fire.
25:21Holes growing, rugs, ads burned.
25:23Mr. Prescott, I can't afford to be mixed up with this sort of thing.
25:26The scandal, the gossip.
25:27I have a position to maintain.
25:29Well, maintain it sitting down.
25:30And stop panicking.
25:32I'm not.
25:33And it's my house and my family.
25:34And I take good care they both remain exclusively yours.
25:37With no connection whatsoever with my son or my two.
25:39Wait a minute, Dad.
25:41Dad, you must give Mr. Prescott a chance to clear this up.
25:43We are leaving here immediately.
25:45By every moment I feel, remember the advertisements.
25:47The sales of Ebrey's food.
25:49Think whether you're going to lose men if you act rashly.
25:51Mr. Spencer, nothing can happen for 48 hours after the curtain's burning, can it?
25:56Well, come on, Dad.
25:58If Mr. Spencer assures me that nothing else can occur during my stay.
26:02Go on, assure him.
26:04Well, I can assure you that...
26:05There you are, Ebrey.
26:07You see, it's quite all right, Dad.
26:11Then against every instinct, I will remain.
26:13But if it's not cleared up in 48 hours, the marriage and our contract are finished.
26:18Come, Robert.
26:22Nice pickle.
26:24Well, anyway, thank goodness we'll have a quiet night.
26:26I didn't say it was under control.
26:28But what?
26:29Here, I'm off.
26:30No, you don't.
26:32Think of even his policy.
26:33He hasn't signed it yet.
26:34I don't want to look a fool.
26:36Yes, but I'm not...
26:37Wilfred.
26:38I'm worried about Audrey.
26:41Now, Mrs. Prescott.
26:42I'd like you to tell me about it.
26:52I've seen her like this more than once.
26:54What do you mean?
26:56Hot.
26:57Perspiring.
26:58Turning.
26:59Asleep.
27:00Yet not asleep.
27:02Now, it's difficult to explain, but...
27:04It's as if my Audrey isn't there at all.
27:09She seems...
27:11Possessed.
27:12I'm afraid it is Audrey, Mrs. Prescott.
27:15You see, a poltergeist is a loose, wild spirit
27:18that seeks to do mischievous, sometimes evil things.
27:21But that spirit needs the physical force of a living person
27:25to translate its will to action.
27:47You.
27:51Are you here?
27:54Tell me, are you here?
28:06I can do what I want to do now.
28:14Move it.
28:18Go on, move it.
28:32Break it.
28:35Go on, break it.
28:36Break it.
28:44But what can you do for Audrey?
28:46We've got to do something.
28:48One can drive them out by strong wills,
28:50constant vigil, and photography.
28:52Photography?
28:53Yes.
28:55They hate their actions being recorded.
28:57So we must aggravate that spirit
28:59until it unleashes all its fury.
29:01And undaunted, we shall stay,
29:04but it will go.
29:05Go on.
29:07Where?
29:09Into the being of some weak or feeble-minded person.
29:12Ah.
29:13Right.
29:14When do we do this?
29:15Tomorrow night.
29:17Goodbye till then.
29:19We'll do our best, Mrs. Prescott.
29:22Tomorrow night?
29:23Here, that's all jolly fine.
29:24What do I do tonight?
29:32Oh, good afternoon, Watson.
29:34Good afternoon.
29:35Now, careful of everything.
29:36Careful, careful.
29:40Are you staying long, sir?
29:41As long as I'm wanted.
29:43And believe me, I am wanted.
29:45There, Watson.
29:47What the devil's all this?
29:48If you want to get rid of your trouble,
29:49you must allow me to go to work in my own way.
29:51Not so loud.
29:53We couldn't get even into the races.
29:54He's got a hangover.
29:56Come with me.
29:57Put all that stuff in the morning room out of sight.
30:00Very good.
30:07Now, listen, Spencer.
30:08I don't care what tricks you get up to,
30:10as long as you don't upset that blasted fool Eberle.
30:12Tell him you want everything under control.
30:14Tell him you're here for observation only.
30:15Tell him what the hell you're like,
30:17and we make him happy.
30:18Don't you worry about him.
30:19Now, if you want some assistance,
30:21can I count on you?
30:22Well, I'll get a dug gun if that's any use.
30:24Oh, nothing so drastic as that will be necessary,
30:26I assure you.
30:27What about the other fella?
30:28Harris.
30:29That's a good idea.
30:33You rang, sir?
30:33I did not.
30:34What a word about this to Mrs. Benning?
30:36Sir.
30:37Tell Harris I want a word with him.
30:38Very good, sir.
30:41This, this really isn't the right moment for business, Harris.
30:43I can't understand what I'm doing.
30:45That's what I thought.
30:46Now, then.
30:46Now, just say in here.
30:48Here, you see, on the dotted lane.
30:50Oh, dear, oh, dear.
30:51I can see more spots than dots, I regret to say.
30:53However, I suppose.
30:54I beg your pardon.
30:55Go on, up it.
30:56This is my big moment.
30:58What?
30:58Mr. Prescott would like a word with you very urgently,
31:01Mr. Harris, in the study.
31:02Yes, yes, yes.
31:03You go along, Harris.
31:04I'll just shut my eyes and think it over.
31:14One of these days, I'll do you, son.
31:16I'll do you, son.
31:27Audrey.
31:28She's home very early.
31:30I wonder.
31:31I think I'd have a word with her if I were you, Mrs. Prescott.
31:34Yes.
31:35Yes, I think I will.
31:37Over.
31:38Tease in the drawing, will you?
31:40Thank you, dear.
31:48Audrey, why are you home so early?
31:51Don't you feel well?
31:52I'm all right, Mommy.
31:54Well, what is it then?
31:56Mommy, I don't know why I do these awful things.
31:59What awful things, darling?
32:02It's Hancock's coming to see you.
32:04It's Hancock?
32:05She says she won't keep me at school any longer.
32:07Audrey, what have you done?
32:09Nothing, Mommy.
32:17I am a scientist, Mr. Every.
32:23With a scientific approach to these problems,
32:26the child isn't abnormal,
32:27merely the unfortunate medium for a disturbing agency,
32:30which I propose in due course shifting elsewhere.
32:33Scientifically, of course.
32:34I joyfully hope so.
32:36Or else...
32:36Mr. Hancock is in the study, sir.
32:37That woman.
32:41Excuse me, Every.
32:43So, nothing whatsoever is likely to happen tonight.
32:45Not a thing, if I can help it.
32:47I am here purely to observe, Mr. Every.
32:51More tea?
32:52No.
32:52No, I thank you.
32:56Good afternoon.
32:57Mr. Prescott.
32:58I've come to ask you to remove your daughter from my establishment.
33:01Audrey?
33:02What's she been up to?
33:03She's a bad influence, Mr. Prescott.
33:06And stories have got about.
33:07Preposterous stories.
33:09I don't believe in myself.
33:10But the girls have been talking, and parents are complaining, and...
33:17Oh!
33:21What have you been telling me?
33:25Wilfred, whatever are you doing?
33:26Don't be a fool.
33:28Look at those flowers.
33:41Packing again?
33:43First train in the morning to my sisters, if I'm spared.
33:46You'll be spared.
33:48I regret to say.
33:49Have you seen the mechanicalizations he's brought?
33:52There'll be no sleep in this house tonight.
34:04Really, gentlemen, this, this, this, this is absurd.
34:07But I tell you, I feel remarkably wakeful.
34:09The sun before the storm.
34:11Don't risk it.
34:12Bed's the best for you.
34:13You're looking very tired.
34:14Yeah, not at all well.
34:15I feel perfectly fit, thank you.
34:17Well, he doesn't look it, does he?
34:18No, he doesn't.
34:19Really, gentlemen, this is absurd.
34:20I don't want to go to bed.
34:21I'd much rather sit up and listen to some jolly chamber music.
34:24What do you do then, dear old man?
34:26Oh, very well, if you insist.
34:28Good night.
34:28Good night.
34:31Good night.
34:34Now that we've got rid of him, we can get started.
34:38Yes.
34:47Now, Mr. Harris, I have a few sandwiches for you.
34:50Forgive and forget, eh?
34:51Exactly, sir.
34:52I cut the best of a chicken, the pure white meat, and left it with a whiskey for Mr. Prescott.
34:56And I thought perhaps...
34:57Chicken.
34:57I'm rather partial to a bit of chicken.
34:59Unfortunately, however, the resistant chicken.
35:01Well, as long as you've got something nice instead, a bit of partridge, perhaps.
35:04No, sir.
35:06Corned beef.
35:08Corned beef?
35:09And beer.
35:11I suppose a whiskey run out, too.
35:13Yes, sir.
35:14But I always say half a loaf is better than none.
35:17Empty cans make most real.
35:18Every cloud has a silver lining, sir.
35:20Little pitchers have big ears.
35:21Go on, your turn.
35:24May I wish you a very good night, sir?
35:27I bet you do.
35:30And I do hope you exorcise the spirit satisfactorily.
35:34Well, I just thought he got enough exercise to keep him above the house all night long.
35:39Exorcise.
35:39To cast out.
35:41Not exercise, Harris.
35:43Oh.
35:44What happens now?
35:47Well, first of all, I want to get you settled.
35:49Well, I don't mind settling, old men.
35:51It's these butterflies in here that won't pick up their minds.
35:54Keep flitting from flower to flower.
35:56Talk about flitting.
35:59What's all this for?
36:01Oh, I only use that if things become dangerous.
36:04It contains a special mixture, which is sprayed here and there, sometimes has a quieting effect.
36:08Oh, you mean it might come in handy, perhaps?
36:10No, you don't.
36:12Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
36:13You don't want to be parsimilous about it, old men.
36:15I mean, that's the only armament I shall have.
36:17Well, don't use it indiscriminately.
36:18Only in self-defense.
36:20Well, then I shoot to kill.
36:21Well, let's seat up, and then I can leave you.
36:23What are you going to seat up now?
36:24Oh, certain empty rooms and cupboards.
36:26There's just a chance that something else might join in.
36:28What, another?
36:29Isn't one enough?
36:30All right, give us a bit of sticky.
36:32I'll do the cupboard.
36:33Now look inside while you'll hear about it.
36:35Nothing in there, sir.
36:36Well, you never know with these old houses.
36:39Come on.
36:47Now come along.
36:48Come on.
37:46Come on, let me out.
37:48Come on, what are you doing now?
37:50Don't let me stay here all night.
37:52Come on, let me out.
37:54Come on, let me out.
37:57What the blazes do you think you're doing?
37:59Well, this is the door came off the anvil.
38:01Oh, for goodness sake, seal the door and let's get settled.
38:03Now, come on, let's get it.
38:11I'll tie the other end to Harris's wrist and take a second string from the middle up to my station
38:16on the stairs.
38:17Well, it seems a lot of rot, but I suppose you know what you're doing.
38:23Now, where are you going to sit?
38:24Oh, I think I'll just walk up and down all night.
38:26I shouldn't do that.
38:28I'd sit there if I were you.
38:33What's the string for?
38:34Signal line.
38:36Now, if anything happens, I'll give you one long steady pull.
38:39One long pull.
38:40Got that?
38:41Yeah.
38:42One long pull.
38:58What's that?
38:59Well, it's a kind of thermometer.
39:00There's usually a sudden drop in temperature before any phenomena occur.
39:03Oh, do you think I need my coat?
39:05Oh, good luck.
39:05Good, honey.
39:06Hope not.
39:07Not a sound.
39:08Hope not.
39:09Don't doze off.
39:10Hope so.
39:16Hope so.
39:51What's that?
39:53Harris.
40:02Silly fool.
40:04What's that?
40:05He's playing.
40:06I forgot to tell you.
40:07I may need your help upstairs.
40:09I don't care what you forgot.
40:10I'll come out in the open like a human being.
40:12Don't go stick with me in the dark.
40:13Now, Harris, remember, you're a pioneer investigator of a new science.
40:16You'll be known as the man who pointed the way.
40:18You're the basket that's pointing the way.
40:20And it's up them finishing stairs.
40:22And I'm not going.
40:23I'm staying here.
40:24Oh, very well.
40:26Now, remember, when I'm in position,
40:28I'll give you three sharp pulls like this.
40:30One, two, three.
40:33And you'll reply.
40:35Well, go on.
40:40Now I'll know you're alert and noting all that happens.
40:45Not off.
40:46Have you got everything you want?
40:47I've got my thermos and some cold turkey.
40:49I've got a screw top and some corned beef.
40:52And the only thing I haven't got is an appetite.
40:55Oh, here's a torch for you.
40:57What's that for?
40:58Oh, a sea well, of course.
41:01There.
41:02I'm not having the lights out, you know.
41:03Oh, yes, you are.
41:04Oh, no, I'm not.
41:05I'm going to get stubborn about this, I can tell you.
41:07I mean, corned beef and the lights out is a bit too blooming much.
41:10Are you determined?
41:11Yes.
41:11I'll give the squire a shillin in the morning for the meter.
41:14It's cheaper the price.
41:16Oh, very well.
41:19See, you don't miss anything.
41:22Me?
41:23Are the eyes like a larynx?
41:41Me?
42:08Let's go.
42:17Let's go.
42:46Let's go.
42:48Let's go.
42:49What are you doing?
42:49What are you doing?
42:50Don't be a fool.
42:52Look out.
42:53You're spoiling it.
42:56I'm almost cut out of you and I'll fetch my duck cat.
42:58Oh, oh, oh, I don't know.
42:59I don't know.
43:01Will you please take your places?
43:03You've no business to be walking around.
43:05The temperature's falling.
43:07Anything can happen now.
43:08I don't know.
43:09I don't know.
43:31I don't know.
43:37I don't know.
43:49Look.
44:22Let's go.
45:13Let's go.
45:29Oh, my God.
45:33Oh, my God.
45:48Oh, my God.
46:18And you know what?
46:20You can't do any of it.
46:22Yes, sir, I think we've got to see.
46:31If the cellar has been out of the direction of the line,
46:32you're going to join me.
46:33Come on!
46:41Oh, my God.
47:15Come on.
47:17Come on.
47:19Come on.
47:23Come on.

47:27Oh, Lord.
47:54Oh, I'm sorry.
47:54Got it.
47:56Got it.
47:57Come on, come on!
48:04Hello?
48:06It's empty.
48:08Now what am I going to do?
48:11Oh, well.
48:12Perhaps you settle down, we know.
48:41Come on, come on, come on.
49:12Come on, come on.
49:30Come on.
49:40Come on, come on.
49:43Come on, come on.
49:44Come on.
49:48Dism posición at each other.
49:51Oh, oh, oh, oh.
50:23By Jove, that did it.
50:25Not a bad bag, eh?
50:27Not for you, it wasn't.
50:29They can't face number four shot in the hands of an expert.
50:34Now, do you think so?
50:38Well, as far as I'm concerned, I'm sure of it.
50:41Well, good luck to you.
50:43And jolly good luck to you, too.
50:48Ha, ha, ha!
50:51Ha, ha, ha!
50:51Ha, ha, ha!

53:50Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
53:51Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
53:51What was that?
53:52Was that him?
53:56And Akia, I've had just about enough of you, wherever you are.
53:59I mean, fun's fun, but we can't laugh all night.
54:02Why don't you leave the kid alone, eh?
54:03I mean, you're mucking a problem in life, are you are?
54:06Are you listening to what I'm saying?
54:08Uh-huh.
54:09Oh, well, give the kid a break, see?
54:11Pick on someone else for a change.
54:13Do you hear me?
54:14Go on, buzz all.
54:15Vamoose.
54:16Scarper.
54:17Go on, watch out, girl.
54:18I've had enough of you.
54:19Go on, go down the village somewhere.
54:21They'll love to have you here.
54:23Don't forget, Charette.
54:28Mr. Harris.
54:30Mr. Harris, he's gone.
54:32He's gone.
54:33Yes, I know.
54:34I've done it.
54:35Show up me, Bob.
54:36I've done it.
54:37Come on, let's draw the curtains.
54:38It's daylight.
54:43What a night, but it's all over now.
54:45It's all over now.
54:47Hey, what are you doing down here?
54:49Who's gone, darling?
54:51You know, the power of the guy.
54:52Mr. Harris sent him away.
54:53Mr. Harris?
54:54Yes, you don't have to worry anymore.
54:55He's gone for good.
54:56Oh, thank you.
54:58Now, what's for, I did it.
55:00He did it?
55:01I did it.
55:02I've got it.
55:03What do you mean you did it?
55:04I did it.
55:05But it's gone.
55:06There you are, Mr. Prescott.
55:07What did I tell you?
55:07Nonsense.
55:08I did it.
55:09Who did what?
55:10As I told you, Mr. Eabry, I've got rid of it.
55:13Splendid, splendid.
55:14I'm so glad, Prescott.
55:15You got rid of it?
55:16What do you mean?
55:16I got rid of it.
55:17You?
55:18Yes, me.
55:19Remarkable, my dear Eabry, wasn't it?
55:21I just talked to the wing.
55:22Nothing of the kind.
55:24I did it.
55:24Why, what are you talking about?
55:25You don't believe me well I did it.
55:27You've only got to ask your own daughter.
55:28Why, she was here with me a minute ago.
55:29We did it.
55:30That's right, Harris.
55:31You did it.
55:32Yes, Harris, you did it.
55:33Well, I'm glad you realize it.
55:34Oh, yes, old man.
55:35You did it.
55:36Yes, yes.
55:37Give credit where credit is due.
55:38Yes, you did it, Harris.
55:42Your case, Mr. Hatton.
55:43Oh, what you looking at?
55:45What you laughing at?
55:48What's he doing?
55:53Oh, blimey, no, I've got it.
56:00Oh, man.
56:01Oh, yeah, you did it.
56:06Oh, no, I've got it.
56:06Oh, yeah, I'm good.
56:06Oh, no, yeah.
56:07Oh, no, yeah, you did it.
56:08Oh, no.
