THE NIGHT EVELYN CAME OUT OF THE GRAVE
- Why did you stop? - Let's smoke a cigarette...
...I can't smoke driving... - Alright, as you want...
What's wrong with you? Are you crazy?
I'm sorry, I thought it was a wig...
No, it's my hair...
Do you like it?
Here...
- It's 200 pounds... - You said 200 pounds?
- Wow... - You don't have to count them...
...and I'll give you 300 more, if... - Are you kidding me?
...if you'll be nice to me...
I'm always nice... especially with someone who drops 500 pounds.
- Do you live alone? - With the work I do...
- What about your family? - My father and my sisters are in Ireland.
Why are you asking me this?
Just because... I'm going to check the tires, alright?
- This is a castle! - It was a castle...
...now it's becoming a ruin...
Maybe it'd be better to go to my place...
No, come along, some of the rooms are ok...
Let's go to my place...
This is wonderful!
It's amazing!
I'd like to drink something...
I'll get you something...
Why are you allowing the rest to go to ruin?
I live in the city, I don't come here often...
I confess I didn't imagine finding a place so chic...
You know, it's cool, you're really something!
Do you think so?
It's wonderful to live in the country, but still so close to the city...
I don't like it... this house is full of bad memories...
Really? Don't you like it?
You're bored, is that it, dear?
You feel lonely...
You'll see that Polly will take away the sadness...
Here's the other 300 pounds...
...if you'll earn them...
You'll be happy, trust Polly!
I don't have a bathrobe here, what a pity...
Choose the one you like...
Wow...
You've got nice stuff, huh?
This one...
Who's that woman?
Well...
- Honey... - No, not here...
You don't seem surprised...
It's natural... when somebody gives me so much money, I expect the unusual...
I bet this is not the first time you're in a situation like this...
A lot of men like strange games...
So... you're my slave now!
Come on... undress!
Stop it... give me the whip. And put those boots on...
You look good, like that...
You're beautiful, with those boots...
Maybe you haven't guessed, but I'm going to use the whip...
I won't be the victim, this time...
I'm not going to be a slave for anyone...
...for anyone!
Alright, alright master...
I'll do anything you want!
Get down... get down!
I beg you... please, let me go!
I don't want the money!
I don't want it! Let me go...
You're crazy... you're crazy!
No...
The prostitutes were branded with iron, once...
...it was an excellent system...
Scream! Scream as much as you want!
- Nobody will hear you! - Alan...
Please, Evelyn...
Please, forgive me!
Forgive me, Evelyn...
- Alan... - You're the only woman I ever loved...
I know I hurt you in the past...
I know...
I know, Evelyn, it's my fault if you suffered...
But now it's over...
It's over... yes...
- Alan... - No, not in the garden... no...
It's the place where you betrayed me, Evelyn, why did you it?
The garden...
I saw you... with my own eyes, Evelyn...
You were naked...
You shouldn't have...
What are you doing?! No!
No...
My girlfriends took your licence plate number...
I know.
It's an old whores' trick...
...but your friends didn't know the plates were fake.
No... no...
Tony, let's go to Lord Cunningham's castle...
- Turn to the right. - Doctor, I phoned to the clinic...
...and I said we were arriving...
You'll go ahead, and say I had an urgent call...
- Drive Miss Barbara and come back... - Yes, sir.
Barbara, I don't know how long I'll stay here...
Alright, doctor...
Hi, how are you...
I'm fine...
...what about you? - I was coming to see you, Richard.
Another attack, uh?
Alan, you must listen to me...
...if you don't try to control yourself, you'll end up in a bad way.
There's always... your clinic.
You took care of me the first time, you'll do it a second time...
Yeah, if you don't end up in a criminal asylum first...
- Listen... - This is not funny!
I thought about it... I left my will to my solicitor...
Don't worry, I remembered you in it... happy?
Stop it, please...
You could be normal again, if you'd only want to...
You should put your life in order...
...marry again, forget Evelyn...
That's the problem, Richard...
I can't forget her.
I'm obsessed with her.
Talking with you is a waste of time.
Nobody can help you, if you don't help yourself.
Why were you coming to see me?
Aunt Agatha introduced me to a medium...
...if I can contact Evelyn through her...
...she told me my attacks will disappear.
I want to give it a try.
I arranged a seance for tonight.
Oh, come on, it could expose you to a dangerous shock!
You're invited.
My cousin George will be there.
I must find a way to get rid of this nightmare.
You'll never be able to get rid of it...
...with these useless, idiotic tricks!
Who knows?
- Bye... - Bye...
Please, come tonight.
What do you want, now?
I just wanted to tell you that last night I heard some strange noises...
How much do you want, this time?
I need 20 quid.
How come? You raised your price?
You're becoming too demanding, Albert...
Miranda, we're almost ready... do you need anything?
I need a fistful of ash... this is essential...
Oh, yeah, I just forgot...
I must confess I don't believe in seances...
...I always suspected they're just a hoax...
But there are scientific studies, with reliable evidence...
Why don't you stop saying these things in front of Miranda?
- Let them talk... - Oh, this is George, I'm glad he came.
Come in!
- I knew you'd come! - Oh, dear, your invitation is an order.
Farley...
Alan, how are you? Long time no see...
- What's up? - Everything's fine, thanks...
- Can I offer you something to drink? - Maybe later, I'd like to start now...
...I'm sure it'll be an exciting experience.
You like to make a joke of everything, you never change...
People like George always laugh, in the beginning... it's easy.
But after you'll see what Miranda is capable of, it'll be harder.
Take my heart, white spirit...
...and bring me Evelyn, white spirit...
Your hands are trembling...
Are you afraid Evelyn will ask for her money back?
Will you shut up, George?
White spirit...
...take my heart...
...and bring me Evelyn, white spirit...
Take my heart...
Miranda is really good...
...the spirit is already knocking on the door...
What do you want?
Evelyn was my sister...
...I have the right to be here. - Nobody invited you, Albert.
My place is right here, you can't throw me out...
It's alright, Alan, let him sit at the table...
You are here, white spirit...
I... see you...
...and Evelyn... together...
He's here...
Alan, come...
Alan...
It was wrong to expose him to this shock...
Excuse me, I'm late, I had an urgent call...
Alan!
- What happened?! - We had just begun the s�ance...
...it was too much for him... - He just fainted, let him breath!
He could have died!
It's not my fault, doctor, it was aunt Agatha's idea...
Evelyn appeared...
...if Alan hadn't fainted, he could have spoken to her...
These are pure breed specimens...
...I am convinced this will prove to be a good investment, Sir Alan...
I agree, even if this wasn't my intention in the first place...
These are very fascinating animals...
...they're so fierce and cruel, insatiable for flesh and blood...
Alan, how are you?
- And you George? - Hi Farley...
What magnificent animals...
Alan...
...I must talk to you...
- Alright, what's the matter? - Tell me how are you, first...
I'm fine, it was just a light seizure...
Damn, that was a bit too much, wasn't it?
Do you really think it was a prank by aunt Agatha?
I didn't say it was a prank...
...you were just susceptible to the medium's power of suggestion...
Anyway, despite Richard's suggestions...
...I decided to leave the castle and move to the city...
...for good. - Good idea, and I urge you to have fun!
A new girl every week!
Don't worry, I won't marry again, if that's what you're thinking...
And I assure you that very soon...
...the Cunningham's estate will be all yours...
Oh, come on, don't be so gloomy, you know it's not like me...
But maybe it's like me...
I want to change my lifestyle, I want to isolate myself...
The city seems to be better for me...
...you agree with me, don't you?
- Yeah, sure. - Anyway...
...I need to tidy up my little apartment...
- Lately I kind of neglected it... - Well I'm available...
I could lend you a hand...
No, no...
...I might need your help, but in a different field...
Your an expert about the female fauna in the city...
...you always gave me good advices...
I see you haven't forgotten that redhead, eh?
You know I haven't seen her lately? What a shame...
Yeah, she was beautiful... I could use another one like her...
Do you know any girls like her?
Don't underestimate me, Alan...
You'll find a beautiful redhead at the Crazy Cat...
She's a real stunner...
I knew you were fantastic... You're an amazing cousin!
Come along!
Very good, Susan!
Show yourself, Susan!
30 pounds!
- 50! - 70!
I offer 90!
110!
What do you offer, to drink with me?
Come on... why don't you answer?
You don't want me?
Should I go?
- What do you want to drink? - Oh, that's better...
Champagne, thanks...
Champagne, please.
- I'm sorry... I thought it was a wig. - No, darling, it's mine...
Come on...
...I'm waiting for your offer.
- Athousand pounds. - Uh?! Athousand pounds?
A thousand?
What do you want me to do to earn that much money?
Spend the weekend with me...
Ah...
Are you surprised by what you see?
A bit, because you seemed an average guy...
Put these on...
Go on...
No! What are you doing?! Are you crazy?!
Stop it!
Stop it, for god's sake! You're hurting me!
No, I beg you! No!
No... no...
No... no... no!
No...
No... no...
Nooooo!
No!
No...
I don't want to die...
Let me go!
Have mercy!
Have mercy...
No...
Alan...
The garden...
No... nooo!
Nooo...
Something strange must've happened last night...
- What do you mean? - I don't have the slightest idea...
...but the foxes were uneasy...
They seemed really troubled...
This morning they were so upset that they refused to eat...
Here, take it...
A hundred pounds...
You can't go on like this, your life is a mess...
Don't move to the city, stay here...
...and try and get married again.
You're right... this time I'll follow your advice...
I hope you will...
You won't get better, otherwise...
- I will be unable to help you... - Yeah, right.
You agreed many times...
It's true, but this time I'm serious, Richard...
Bye...
Come in...
You asked to see me, Sir Alan?
- I have to speak to you, sit down. - Thank you.
- Farley... - Yes?
I've decided to have the castle restored...
It's a wonderful idea...
It will take sometime, the east wing is in ruins...
I'll give you a month...
You can spend all the money you need...
Alright Sir, I'll do my best...
I want you to start the work immediately...
What about the crypt in the garden?
Should we restore that too?
Oh, well...
...the crypt... for the moment...
...let's leave it as it is. We'll decide later what to do...
Or better still...
...it's better to have it walled up, so that we'll be sure...
...that nobody will be able to break in...
That's all, Farley...
Fine.
See you soon, Sir Alan...
- Hello, Madeleine... - Hi...
For a month I've been in the city...
...aunt Agatha introduced me to the best unmarried girls in town...
You mean she still hasn't found the right one?
Yes... aunt Agatha has weird ideas about what's right for me...
I dont't think you need rest... you should have fun, instead...
Uh... maybeTimberlane's right, I should marry again...
Even though, it would mean... farewell to your title...
Oh, come on, stop it...
A propos, have you been to that night club?
No...
...no, I haven't been there...
Remember that redhead I told you about?
Her name was Susan... she's gone.
You don't know what you missed!
Let's go have a drink...
I'm starting to think it wasn't a good idea to come here...
You shouldn't judge by appearances, under the trees it's much better...
Alan...
- Do you wanna come with me? - No, thanks... I'll see you later...
Haven't you noticed I'm following you?
I saw you passing by...
...and I decided not to lose your tracks...
...was I wrong? - Why all this interest in me?
Who knows? Maybe it's because you seemed different...
It's not enough to say I'm different, you should say why...
Well, I'm gonna tell you why...
I've gained an idea about the women here...
...they're either too serious or too shallow...
...while you seem to be the perfect balance between the two.
Do you have something to smoke?
I only have an innocent Peer, though...
When I said "smoke", I intended tobacco...
Then it's alright...
I know who you are...
You're Lord Alan Victor Cunningham...
...and you're worth about 3 million pounds. Is that right?
It is.
And who are you?
My name's Gladys...
...I'm not gossip material... - Very good, Alan...
...my compliments...
I'll call you tomorrow, alright?
Why don't we go somewhere else? It's incredibly boring, here...
It doesn't seem a particularly original idea...
But under these circumstances...
...I don't see what else we could do...
So, this is where I live...
Can I ask you something?
Of course...
What would you say if I asked you to marry me?
I'd say that you're out of your mind...
I don't see why you should...
Well, it's a bit difficult to explain...
Maybe it's because... I'd like to go to bed with you...
Do you imagine me marrying every man who wants to go to bed with me?
Anyway, if you want to come up and drink a glass of whiskey...
...you're welcome...
So, will you marry me?
Marry you?
I...
- I thought you were saying it... ...because of what?
Well, because you wanted to go to bed with me...
You were wrong... I meant it.
Do you want a cup of coffee?
That's just what I want...
Whoever you are, you're a pest, an idiot and a fool!
- Here's the coffee, sir... - You're wonderful!
- Do you think? - Aunt Agatha will like you too...
Who's aunt Agatha?
A woman who's convinced that for a girl...
...the most important thing is...
...that she should be a virgin...
...and that she knows how to serve tea at 5.
I'm that pest, idiot and fool of your cousin,
I wanted to tell you that I'm getting married...
- What are you saying? - I'm getting married.
- With that girl I met tonight... - The one at the party?
- Yes, her. - But you didn't know her!
It was love at first sight. You know how it goes...
...it's like a stroke of lightning.
Come on, Alan, are you kidding me?
You can't get married to a girl you met three hours ago...
I assure you she's the woman for me, George...
- How can you say that? - With her I feel cured...
- Yes, but... - You brought me to the party...
So I wanted you to know first...
I thank you, it was very sweet of you...
- So, destiny has followed its course... - Yes, that's true.
Fine, Alan, I offer you my congratulations...
...you have my best wishes.
What was that about?
An inheritance...
- Great, we should make a toast! - No, darling, it's not mine!
This is wonderful, Alan...
Only a special woman could deserve a place like this...
This means it's the place for you, Gladys...
You're too sweet...
This is aunt Agatha...
This is the first time Alan has behaved like a sensible person...
I'm glad to hear you say that...
This is Doctor Timberlane...
...our family doctor...
...and a personal friend of mine...
I'm very happy... especially for Alan...
I hope he still hasn't regretted his decision...
Farley, our bailiff... a valuable man...
I hope that with you, madame, the castle will return to its splendour...
And this is my cousin George, the black sheep of the family...
...don't let yourself be fooled by his harmless looks...
...he's a reckless fellow...
I'm happy to see you nailed, at last...
I see you're taking the defeat like a good sport...
Gladys, I wish you the best...
I'm sure everything is going to be wonderful...
Be careful, though, he's an old bear...
But I love old bears...
Come along guys... let me introduce to you the new maids...
...I personally chose them, one by one...
It's incredible, they all look alike...
Yeah, I was wondering how are we going to distinguish them...
- What's the matter, Albert? - You made a mistake...
You shouldn't have married again...
Your sister's been dead a long time, now...
You shouldn't have, Alan...
I dedicated myself to her, when she was alive...
...but now...
...now she's dead. - She died because of you!
She died trying to giving you a heir... it was like a murder!
That's not true...
...and you know it!
Don't think it will end like this, Alan!
Don't expect so!
If you're worried for your monthly check...
I told Farley to keep on sending it to you...
You think you can buy everything with your money!
It's not like this...
Everything, no... but I can buy your soul anytime...
Alan, don't you think it'd be better not to keep that portrait in this room?
My glass of milk...
Where's my glass of milk?
Strange... I'd swear I saw it...
That stupid maid forgot it...
I'll go get it for you in the kitchen...
- You want it lukewarm, yes? - Yes, thanks.
Here's your milk, darling...
...it's alright.
Thank you...
- I was fast, wasn't I? - You're an angel...
Forgive me, if now and then I'm a bit nervous...
I came back in a rush...
...because there was a maid, in the kitchen.
At this time?
You just need...
...someone to look after you...
From now on, I don't want you to be upset anymore...
You said there was a maid, in the kitchen?
Yes...
But it's strange... I never saw her before...
Maybe you didn't recognize her, they all look alike...
...they're all blonde...
But she had red hair...
It's impossible...
Maybe she's a new one, she was wearing the uniform...
Aunt Agatha wouldn't play such a trick on me...
What do you mean?
Aunt Agatha knows very well...
...that I don't want women with red hair in this house.
But it's impossible, Alan...
...how can you think I would made such a mistake?
Everything's always been perfect in this house...
Gladys must have been mistaken...
Were any of you in the kitchen last night...
...and helped Miss Gladys to prepare a glass of hot milk?
No, madame...
- Mary? - Yes, madame?
Why didn't you prepare the milk, last night?
But I did, madame, as always...
- I brought it to the room at 9 o'clock. - See, Alan? Everything went right.
- You may go... - Alright, auntie, it's alright.
I hope you're convinced...
But I'm sure I saw her...
I wasn't dreaming...
Darling...
Albert...
Albert, darling...
Alan, I'm here...
Alan...
Evelyn...
Alan, I'm waiting for you... I'm in the garden, Alan...
Evelyn...
Alan, I'm here... Alan...
Evelyn! Wait for me! Where are you?!
Alan...
- Come with me... - Yes, yes!
Alan...
Where are you, Evelyn? Evelyn!
Alan...
Come here, Alan...
Yes, Evelyn...
Alan...
Evelyn...
No, no, no...
Don't betray me...
Please, don't...
Don't betray me... no, please...
It's understandable, if you think what he went through...
Yes, I know, his wife died in childbirth...
But this is not enough to explain his strange behaviour...
Well, it's not that simple...
Evelyn wanted a child at all costs...
...but it was very dangerous for her...
Then why Alan feels guilty about it?
You see, Alan was about to ask for a divorce, and Evelyn...
...she thought the baby would have kept him from proceeding...
A divorce? Wasn't he in love with her?
He discovered that she was betraying him...
One day, he caught her in the garden with her lover...
Since then...
...Alan hasn't been the same.
- A big problem. - When he has an attack...
...it seems like he sees and hears things, it's terrible.
No, this is absolutely normal... in cases of hallucinations.
- Or do you think that... - No, I don't believe in ghosts...
...if this is what you meant.
I called you here to ask you something...
...are you absolutely sure that Lady Evelyn's dead, doctor?
I personally signed her death certificate...
...and I was present when they buried her in the local cemetery.
What do you want from me?
You've entered in her house...
...you slept in her bed...
...and now you're going to violate her grave...
Go away from here!
You don't belong here...
...take my advice...
...before it's too late.
Lady Cunningham... good evening...
I want to visit the family's tomb...
- At this time at night? - Do you have any objections?
No... no, no...
Follow me, please...
- And now, open this tomb, please... - But it's impossible...
You must have written permission from a judge...
...and also from your husband. - Here's the permission.
As you wish, my lady...
This is incredible... it's empty!
- I don't understand... - The corpse must've been stolen!
It's obvious...
- It's terrible! - Please, close it now...
Excuse me, my lady...
...please don't tell anyone about this. Thanks, my lady...
I employed the maids, and I answer for them...
Alright, but I don't think that Gladys imagined this maid with red hair...
It can't be...
Unless Alan found himself a mistress with red hair...
...and chose to keep her hidden in the castle...
Will you please stop talking nonsense, George?
No, no...
...let's discard that theory...
It could have been Evelyn's ghost...
...but why in the kitchen? Evelyn didn't like to cook...
You want to know what I think?
It's very simple.
It was clearly someone who wanted to pass unnoticed.
She entered in the kitchen to get hold of a maid's uniform...
...and when Gladys found her, she decided to play the role...
- You think she was a thief, then? - Yes... sure.
Oh, come on...
Aunt Agatha, have you checked that nothing's missing, like the silverware...
- Mary? - Yes, madame?
Oh, my god!
The San Marco dinner-set!
The whole lot, it's gone!
As you can see, it wasn't a stupid idea...
That service has been in the Cunningham family for 300 years!
- We must call the police! - No, you won't.
But... we've been robbed!
I'll hire a private detective, I don't want the police in this house...
...and that's final.
If we could find that woman, Gladys might be able to identify her...
No, a friend of mine owns an investigation agency...
...I'll give the case to him.
I don't want any scandal...
Get out of here!
No... no...
No, Alan!
No, Alan, no... please!
No... Alan, please... no!
Stop, Alan... what are you doing?!
Are you crazy?!
They found Albert's corpse... they're looking for you to identify him...
Albert's dead?!
You don't seem surprised...
Why you were fighting?
- Oh my god, Albert's dead... - How did you open the crypt?
- How did you open it?! - I didn't open it...
Alan, it was already opened...
...how can you think that I... I swear, it's the truth!
A woman alone couldn't have opened it...
Besides, it's been walled up...
This is absurd...
- Alan, please, calm down... - It's impossible...
Alan...
Please, Alan...
The crypt... was opened...
If you didn't open it, Gladys... who did it?!
How do you think it could've happened?
It must've been an incident...
...Aunt Agatha loved the foxes...
...and in the absence of Albert, she tried to feed them herself...
...I don't understand why the wheelchair was outside of the cage, though.
How did she enter?
Somebody must've helped her... But it's unlikely...
Perhaps she found the strength to do it all by herself...
...it's possible, after all.
How long has your aunt been paralyzed?
About five years, but...
...I'm sure she couldn't have left her wheelchair like that.
Thank you, this will be helpful.
Lord Cunningham...
- We'll need you to sign the report. - Alright...
Goodbye sirs...
There's gonna be a storm...
I don't like driving in the rain, I'd prefer to stay here...
You can stay as long as you want...
Sure, of course...
- You stay too, Richard... - I live nearby, but if you like...
Yes, please...
Alan...
The garden...
I'm sorry...
- You shouldn't have... done it... - Darling, but why?
You shouldn't have done it...
You knew it would have shocked me...
I can't control myself anymore...
And this... who gave you this wig?
It's just one of my wigs...
I had a collection...
Do you have any other, here?
No...
I found this one on the bottom of a suitcase...
I gave the others away...
It's all because of this portrait!
And the things you say...
...your behaviour...
So, when I found the wig, I couldn't resist the temptation...
- I just couldn't resist... - Destroy it! Destroy it immediately!
Alright...
...I will destroy it.
But you must get rid of that portrait...
Please, Alan...
That's alright...
I will have it destroyed...
Right now, Alan, I want to do it...
Do it, Gladys...
Certainly... certainly, inspector...
No, I don't think she had enemies...
Albert was a very reserved man...
His only passion was hunting...
Actually, I hardly saw him at all, he lived in a cottage in the park...
You're welcome...
Look... look! It's her!
- Don't be afraid! Calm down! - No, I'm scared! Don't leave me!
- But I must go! I must! - Don't leave me!
Calm down, please! Calm down!
Alan... Alan, Alan!
I'll get something to calm you...
It will do you good...
Alan...
- Here, darling, it'll make you sleep... - No, no, no...
...I want you to stay here with me, please...
...please...
Alan...
- Alan, where are you going?! - Get out my way!
Where do you want to go? It's raining...
- Alan... don't be foolish, please! - Let me pass!
Evelyn!
No!
I'm here...
Alan...
I'm here...
I'm waiting for you...
- Now we can move him... - How long will it last?
I'm afraid that this time there's nothing to do...
How could it have happened, Richard?!
I already told him before, Gladys...
His mental balance was extremely precarious...
...and another shock could have caused permanent damage.
Besides, the fact that he stole Evelyn's corpse...
...is proof of how poor his mental conditions was.
I wanted to take care of him...
Having thus certified the permanent incapacity of Lord Alan Cunningham,
proven by the medical certificate signed by Dr. RichardTimberlane,
and by the witnesses named by the county court,
the solicitor here present, will now read the instructions...
...left in his care by Lord Alan.
Please...
Now then... the undersigned etc. Etc,
granted that etc. Etc.,
in the case of a permanent mental disability,
I ask to be sent in Dr. Timberlane's neuropsychiatric institute,
to which I leave a legacy of 500.000 pounds,
that Dr. Timberlane will use as he thinks best...
I hereby name as sole executor of my estate my closest male relative...
...Mr. George Harryman, who will conserve and develop...
...the property of the family estate.
My wife Gladys will enjoy all rights and benefits derived from the estate.
To my aunt Agatha I leave the property of Somerset Valley,
and to my brother-in-law Albert,
I leave the foxes and the hunting reserve in Saunters Point.
To Mr. Farley, I leave a legacy of 100.000 pounds,
in gratitude for his services.
Read, approved and signed, etc. Etc. Etc.
- That's all, sirs. - Thank you.
Of course, we'll need the approval of the county court, it will take a week...
What are we gonna do about that Dr. Timberlane?
He inherited too much money...
Alan's in his hands, now...
Alan's out of the way...
In three months you put your hands on 3 million pounds...
Yes, but I only got benefits, the estate is yours...
How much stripping did you have to do, to earn 3 million pounds?
And how many clients did you have to take into your bed??
The worst thing for me, was being separate from you...
And I had to get inside...
...that coffin.
You think it was funny for me, carrying out Evelyn's corpse...
...so you could take her place?
- Oh, stop it, George... please... - Yes, you're right.
You're right... it's late now.
Let's go... I have a beautiful surprise for you...
- Why did you carry me here? - I rented this cottage for us.
It's better if we're not seen together for a while...
- Is this the surprise? - No, the surprise is something else...
It's beautiful, here...
It makes me feel safe...
Oh, you were never in danger, I was always looking after you.
Just think about...
...those poor girls Alan used to bring into that room.
- Weren't they scared? - Well, I guess so...
They couldn't imagine that Alan would be able to kill them...
...at the peak of his attacks, Alan would lose his senses...
- But let's talk about something else... - It's really beautiful, here...
- Do you like it? - It'd be lovely to live here...
But now we should celebrate... bring on the champagne!
Right... champagne! This is an exceptional occasion!
- I'm thirsty! - We must celebrate!
Now, just a moment, darling...
You're the best!
To our happiness...
Cheers!
- To our love... - Yes, to our love...
- To our future... - To our future... my love.
Pour me some more...
How clever you've been, when you disguised yourself as Evelyn...
You've been marvellous...
Did you hear that, George? The girl's really stupid...
I was the one you saw that night, in the rain...
You didn't know that...
I risked much more than you, with Alan...
Let me introduce the lady of the house...
What do you mean?
What's happening, George?
You tell her, Susan...
It's over, for you...
...don't you understand?
- Poor, stupid girl... - I never liked strychnine champagne...
Is it the same for you, Gladys?
You damn pig...
I will die, but you won't get away with it...
You'll end your life in prison...
You coward...
No... no...
George... help me...
...help me...
Coward... you're a coward...
Stab me, Gladys... stab me, before it's too late...
Come on... what are you waiting for?
You'll be a corpse very soon, dear...
I never had any doubts about myself...
Everything I ever wanted from life, I've gotten...
This is so funny, my dear Gladys...
...you saved me the effort of killing her...
This is the final touch of my plan...
...a real perfect murder.
"A dark and mysterious tragedy took place in a cottage near London...
...Lady Cunningham, a former stripper...
...was found dead alongside an ex colleague"...
- Hi, George... - Oh, Richard...
- What a nice cottage... - Yeah, it's not bad...
- When did you buy it? - Haven't you seen it yet?
There's also a pool... come along, I'll show you...
You thought you made it, George?
I must admit you've been a clever director of Alan's madness...
...just like Gladys and Susan...
They were excellent partners, but...
...I'm sorry. I ruined it all, didn't I?
Is this lighter yours, George?
Alan... I thought that...
Are you surprised?
- Alan... - Too bad. You failed.
You're wrong...
Oh, really?
Alan!
George... you're in trap...
...it's useless to keep playing...
...there's nothing you can do...
SULPHURIC ACID
Alan!
Help Dr. Timberlane!
I'm burning... I'm burning!
I'm burning!
