1. It has been written...Copy !req
2. since the beginning of time...Copy !req
3. even onto the sean cientstones...Copy !req
4. that evil,
supernatural creatures exist...Copy !req
5. in a world of darkness.Copy !req
6. And it is also said...Copy !req
7. man, using the magic power...Copy !req
8. of the ancient runic symbols...Copy !req
9. can call forth
these powers of darkness...Copy !req
10. the demons of hell.Copy !req
11. Through the ages, men have feared
and worshipped these creatures.Copy !req
12. The practice of witchcraft,
the cults of evil...Copy !req
13. have endured and exist
to this day.Copy !req
14. Fifteen.
Two and three makes fiive.Copy !req
15. - I must see Dr. Karswell at once.
- Who shall I say is calling?Copy !req
16. Professor Harrington.
Tell him it's most urgent.Copy !req
17. I'm afraid Mr. Karswell
is not at home, sir.Copy !req
18. I know he's here. Tell him
I won't leave until he does see me.Copy !req
19. - I'm very sorry, sir.
- Well, go back and say...Copy !req
20. - Karswell.
- That's all right, Bates.Copy !req
21. Please, come in.
This way.Copy !req
22. - Good evening.
- Good evening.Copy !req
23. Mother...Copy !req
24. Well, I'll go and see
about some tea.Copy !req
25. That won't be necessary.
We shall only be a minute.Copy !req
26. Call it off, Karswell.
Stop this thing you've started...Copy !req
27. and I'll admit publicly I was totally
wrong and that you were totally right.Copy !req
28. It's very gratifying to hear that,
but some things...Copy !req
29. are more easily started
than stopped.Copy !req
30. But I've heard it.
I've seen it. I know it's real!Copy !req
31. You involved me
in a public scandal.Copy !req
32. I protested.Copy !req
33. You said, "Do your worst,"
and that's precisely what I did.Copy !req
34. Please, Karswell.
I'll stop this investigation.Copy !req
35. When Holden arrives,
I'll tell him I've made a mistake.Copy !req
36. I'll send a statement
to the newspapers.Copy !req
37. No more newspapers. All I ask for
is privacy for myself and my followers.Copy !req
38. - Well, I promise.
- All right. That's good enough.Copy !req
39. Then you'll stop this?Copy !req
40. You've still got that parchment
I gave you?Copy !req
41. The runic symbols?
No, they burned. I couldn't stop it.Copy !req
42. I see. Well, I think
perhaps you'd better go home.Copy !req
43. - Then you will help me?
- I'll do all that I can.Copy !req
44. - Karswell, if you only knew.
- I do know.Copy !req
45. Thank you.Copy !req
46. - Good night, Mrs. Karswell.
- Good night.Copy !req
47. Thank you again.Copy !req
48. Good-bye, Professor.Copy !req
49. - Yes, sir?
- Do you have one of those eye masks?Copy !req
50. I must get some sleep.
That light keeps shining in my eyes.Copy !req
51. I'm afraid we don't.
Would you like a pill?Copy !req
52. No, thanks.
I'm trying to cut down.Copy !req
53. Excuse me.Copy !req
54. I can't get out.Copy !req
55. - Sorry.
- Good.Copy !req
56. Could I change my seat?
I can't sleep...Copy !req
57. and I seem to be bothering
the gentleman in front of me.Copy !req
58. I'm afraid it's impossible.
We're full up.Copy !req
59. Oh. Thank you.Copy !req
60. Thanks.Copy !req
61. Anytime.Copy !req
62. Here they come.Copy !req
63. Dr. Holden?
I'm Lloyd Williamson.Copy !req
64. - Professor Harrington's personal aide.
- How are you?Copy !req
65. I'm so glad I'd be able
to meet you here, sir.Copy !req
66. The professor had planned
to meet you here himself, but he...Copy !req
67. - Well...
- Dr. Holden?Copy !req
68. We're the press, sir.
Could you spare a few minutes?Copy !req
69. - What makes me news?
- Ghosts.Copy !req
70. What exactly is the function
of this convention you're attending?Copy !req
71. Investigation of international reports
on paranormal psychology.Copy !req
72. "Para" what psychology?Copy !req
73. Just say mind-reading,
fortune-telling, spirits and zombies.Copy !req
74. What are your views on those people in
the States who claim to be reincarnated?Copy !req
75. Bunk. Under hypnosis...Copy !req
76. people are unusually susceptible
to the power of suggestion.Copy !req
77. Do all your delegates share
your views on the supernatural?Copy !req
78. There are probably some who don't.Copy !req
79. Ask Williamson here.
He'll probably know.Copy !req
80. Do you believe those who don't
to be fakers?Copy !req
81. Let's say some people honestly
believe in the supernatural.Copy !req
82. But according to you, they're wrong.Copy !req
83. - That's right.
- What about the other delegates?Copy !req
84. We haven't got time.
I have a car waiting outside.Copy !req
85. - One thing more, Doctor.
- Yes?Copy !req
86. Take it kind of easy on our ghosts.
We English are sort of fond of them.Copy !req
87. Sure. Some of
my best friends are ghosts.Copy !req
88. Operator, I'm still waiting
for my number.Copy !req
89. I'm sorry. The number you requested
is reported out of order.Copy !req
90. Could you check it, then?
It's to Professor Harrington's house.Copy !req
91. That is the correct number, but
I'm sorry. The line is out of order.Copy !req
92. Oh. Thank you.Copy !req
93. Sorry to keep you waiting,
Williamson.Copy !req
94. You were saying
Professor Harrington couldn't come.Copy !req
95. I'm afraid I have
some terrible news for you.Copy !req
96. Professor Harrington
was found dead this morning.Copy !req
97. Found dead?Copy !req
98. Sorry to disturb you, but there's
so much to do and so little time.Copy !req
99. I'll be right out.Copy !req
100. The police say that
Professor Harrington was electrocuted.Copy !req
101. Somehow, his car ran into
a power line outside his house.Copy !req
102. It was a terrible accident.Copy !req
103. He must've died instantly.Copy !req
104. - The services will be held tomorrow.
- I'll be there.Copy !req
105. This is Mark O'Brien. He's been
working with Professor Harrington.Copy !req
106. - He'll continue to do so with you.
- Fine.Copy !req
107. You'll have to forgive me.
I had a little sleep to catch up on.Copy !req
108. - Of course.
- Sit down. I won't be very long.Copy !req
109. - What is this?
- Part of O'Brien's research...Copy !req
110. which is tied up with
the Karswell Devil Cult investigation.Copy !req
111. I see.
Let me get some clothes on.Copy !req
112. I wrote Professor Harrington recently
that if he wanted to fiind the key...Copy !req
113. to Karswell's phony supernatural power,
all he had to do...Copy !req
114. was check the psychological makeup
of some of his followers.Copy !req
115. I know,
but we ran into diffiiculty.Copy !req
116. The one cult member
we persuaded to speak up...Copy !req
117. a farmer named Rand Hobart...Copy !req
118. was arrested several weeks ago
as an alleged murderer.Copy !req
119. He can still be useful.Copy !req
120. I'm afraid not.
His mind is in total collapse.Copy !req
121. He's in a state of catatonic shock
and in a home for the criminally insane.Copy !req
122. Why do you say "alleged murderer"?Copy !req
123. That's just my personal view.Copy !req
124. A short while ago at the asylum,
I succeeded in rousing Hobart.Copy !req
125. Under hypnosis,
he produced this drawing.Copy !req
126. It's crude, but remarkably similar
to these copies...Copy !req
127. of old woodcuts
and medieval drawings...Copy !req
128. of a fiire demon invoked
by witchcraft to destroy an enemy.Copy !req
129. You mean you think that thing
committed the murder?Copy !req
130. I thought the purpose of our convention
was to disprove that type of thinking.Copy !req
131. - Yes, but Mark says...
- I'll speak for myself, Llyod.Copy !req
132. I'm a scientist also, Dr. Holden.Copy !req
133. I know the value
of the cold light of reason.Copy !req
134. But I also know the deep shadows
that light can cast.Copy !req
135. The shadows that can
blind men to truth.Copy !req
136. What truth? Myths.Copy !req
137. Demonology and witchcraft
have been discredited...Copy !req
138. since the Middle Ages.Copy !req
139. I wrote a book about it.
That's why I'm here.Copy !req
140. Then explain how
an uneducated farmer like Hobart...Copy !req
141. could know anything
about this creature...Copy !req
142. whose legend has persisted through
civilization after civilization.Copy !req
143. Babylonian, Baal, Egyptian...Copy !req
144. Sethtyphon, Persian, Asmodeus...Copy !req
145. Hebraich, Moloch...Copy !req
146. Come in.Copy !req
147. Come in.Copy !req
148. Good evening. KT Kumar, Bombay,
apologizes for being late.Copy !req
149. That's quite all right, Kumar.
We're just about to begin.Copy !req
150. - This is Dr. Holden.
- How do you do?Copy !req
151. Dr. Holden.
I'm very pleased to meet you.Copy !req
152. Your work on hypnotism
is a great favorite of mine.Copy !req
153. Thank you. Now, we were just talking
about devils and demons.Copy !req
154. What are your views on the subject?Copy !req
155. I believe in them.
Absolutely.Copy !req
156. Well, now that we're all here,
let's get down to business.Copy !req
157. Excuse me.Copy !req
158. - Hello?
- Holden?Copy !req
159. This is Julian Karswell speaking.Copy !req
160. Speak of the devil.Copy !req
161. - Yes, Karswell?
- I presume you know who I am.Copy !req
162. Yes. What can I do for you?Copy !req
163. Simply this.
The newspapers say you're heading...Copy !req
164. this so-called expose of
my activities... is that true?Copy !req
165. Yes, that's right.Copy !req
166. I suggest you have
some second thoughts on this.Copy !req
167. Such as?Copy !req
168. Such as minding your business...
not mine or Rand Hobart's.Copy !req
169. Harrington agreed to this. Out of
respect for him, you might do the same.Copy !req
170. - Can you prove that?
- Had his personal assurance.Copy !req
171. I'm afraid you can't have mine.Copy !req
172. That's unfortunate,
maybe for both of us.Copy !req
173. O'Brien,
see if you can have Hobart...Copy !req
174. released to us for a clinical
examination under test conditions.Copy !req
175. That's exactly what I had in mind.Copy !req
176. And forget this demon/monster theory
of yours. It doesn't make sense.Copy !req
177. Karswell's worried about
what Hobart might tell us.Copy !req
178. That makes sense.Copy !req
179. You'll fiind the library
straight through, sir.Copy !req
180. I'm sorry, sir,
but the last volume you asked for...Copy !req
181. The True Discoveries
of the Witches and Demons...Copy !req
182. is not available.Copy !req
183. What does "not available" mean?Copy !req
184. It should be in
our restricted section.Copy !req
185. The only known existing copy...Copy !req
186. is over 400 years old, you know.Copy !req
187. Yes, I know.Copy !req
188. It seems to be missing.
Most peculiar.Copy !req
189. I'm having it checked.Copy !req
190. It was mentioned
in these research notes.Copy !req
191. Never mind. I can probably
fiind what I want in these.Copy !req
192. I hope so, sir.
I'll do my best to trace it.Copy !req
193. Excuse me, sir.Copy !req
194. I couldn't help overhearing
your conversation with the librarian.Copy !req
195. You're interested in seeing The True
Discoveries of Witches and Demons.Copy !req
196. - Is that it?
- Yes.Copy !req
197. I have a copy I'll gladly
put at your disposal.Copy !req
198. Then the British Museum
didn't have the only copy.Copy !req
199. Apparently not, Dr. Holden.Copy !req
200. I have what is perhaps
the fiinest library in the world...Copy !req
201. on witchcraft and the black arts.Copy !req
202. - You know my name.
- Oh, yes.Copy !req
203. And you know mine.
I'm Julian Karswell.Copy !req
204. How did you know I was here?Copy !req
205. Isn't it the scientist who always calls
what he can't explain otherwise...Copy !req
206. by the word "coincidence"?Copy !req
207. Let's call this coincidence.Copy !req
208. I wouldn't like to think I'd been
followed from my hotel this morning.Copy !req
209. I assure you,
you weren't followed.Copy !req
210. I just thought it might be profiitable
for both of us to meet, you see.Copy !req
211. It's rather diffiicult to talk here.Copy !req
212. Why not come out to my place
in the country? The book's there.Copy !req
213. If I don't fiind what I want,
I might take you up on that.Copy !req
214. Delighted.Copy !req
215. Just one thing.
Let's understand each other.Copy !req
216. My investigation
of you and your cult...Copy !req
217. won't be stopped.Copy !req
218. But if I could make my point,
I could persuade you.Copy !req
219. I'm not open to persuasion.Copy !req
220. But a scientist
should have an open mind.Copy !req
221. That's what investigations are for.Copy !req
222. Well...Copy !req
223. in any event, here's my card.Copy !req
224. Lufford Hall.
It's near Wargrave.Copy !req
225. I'll be seeing you soon, I'm sure.Copy !req
226. Excuse me.
How clumsy.Copy !req
227. I'm so, so sorry.Copy !req
228. Here are your papers, sir.Copy !req
229. - Thank you.
- Good-bye.Copy !req
230. Don't leave it too long.Copy !req
231. Can I help you, sir?Copy !req
232. Did you see that man
who was just here?Copy !req
233. I can't say that I did.Copy !req
234. - What do you make of this?
- It's a visiting card.Copy !req
235. No, I mean the handwriting on it.Copy !req
236. - No handwriting.
- Yes, there is.Copy !req
237. Forget it.Copy !req
238. I can't fiind anything
on this card.Copy !req
239. - Nothing at all?
- No.Copy !req
240. I could try some absorption tests,
but that would take time.Copy !req
241. - How much time?
- Tonight?Copy !req
242. Fine. Call me at my hotel
when it's fiinished.Copy !req
243. - Aren't you...
- Yes, on the plane.Copy !req
244. - Did you know the professor?
- Did you?Copy !req
245. Yes, I worked with him.
I'm John Holden.Copy !req
246. Then I must talk to you.
It's very important.Copy !req
247. I'm Joanna Harrington.
Professor Harrington was my uncle.Copy !req
248. - My deepest sympathies.
- Thank you.Copy !req
249. - When can we meet?
- Tonight?Copy !req
250. - Call me at my hotel.
- All right.Copy !req
251. - 412. Down to the left, miss.
- Thank you.Copy !req
252. - Well, come in.
- Thanks.Copy !req
253. So you really are Dr. Holden?Copy !req
254. All scientists
don't wear thick glasses.Copy !req
255. I apologize for bothering you
on the plane.Copy !req
256. What was all
that writing about anyway?Copy !req
257. Letters to my pupils
about my trip to America.Copy !req
258. I'm a kindergarten teacher.Copy !req
259. I'm sorry it ended
so tragically for you.Copy !req
260. - Thank you.
- Sit down, won't you?Copy !req
261. - Would you like a drink?
- No, thanks.Copy !req
262. You don't mind if I have one, do you?
I need it.Copy !req
263. It's cold tonight, isn't it?Copy !req
264. No, it's hot.
Quite hot.Copy !req
265. Do you think so?Copy !req
266. I heard you're continuing
my uncle's project.Copy !req
267. - And?
- I think you ought to drop it.Copy !req
268. You're the second person
to suggest that in one day.Copy !req
269. - What's your reason?
- I believe you're in danger.Copy !req
270. I found my uncle's diary.
It's all in here.Copy !req
271. - You make it sound very menacing.
- It is.Copy !req
272. I think it had something to do
with my uncle's death.Copy !req
273. Something horrible happened to him.Copy !req
274. Something unexplainably horrible.Copy !req
275. - I'd like to read it to you.
- Go ahead.Copy !req
276. "Met Karswell at Albert Hall concert."Copy !req
277. He puts three exclamation marks
after that sentence.Copy !req
278. Karswell can be
a pretty startling character.Copy !req
279. - You've met him?
- This morning.Copy !req
280. Listen to this.
"Karswell most pleasant.Copy !req
281. Lost my program during concert,
and Karswell gave me his.Copy !req
282. A nice gesture,
since I save them."Copy !req
283. That doesn't sound
particularly menacing.Copy !req
284. Wait.Copy !req
285. "Today I found the parchment...Copy !req
286. in the concert program
Karswell gave me.Copy !req
287. It had runic symbols drawn on it."Copy !req
288. That's not mysterious.Copy !req
289. Runic symbols are the oldest form
of an alphabet.Copy !req
290. They're found carved on ancient stones,
like hieroglyphics.Copy !req
291. They're supposed to have magic powers.
They don't.Copy !req
292. "The parchment acted
as if it were alive.Copy !req
293. It pulled from my hand
and Flew into the fiire and burned.Copy !req
294. I think I can guess
what Karswell has done to me."Copy !req
295. - Cigarette?
- No, thanks. There's a lot more...Copy !req
296. about seeing visions
of a monstrous, smoky shape...Copy !req
297. and feeling cold,
like you said you were.Copy !req
298. "I'm under some kind of witch's spell.
My mind is in the balance.Copy !req
299. Must speak to Holden about this."Copy !req
300. Unfortunately, you came too late.Copy !req
301. What you're trying to tell me is...Copy !req
302. your uncle was killed by witchcraft.Copy !req
303. As a doctor,
I can assure you you're wrong.Copy !req
304. It's a pure case of auto-suggestion.Copy !req
305. But the way he knew
he was going to die...Copy !req
306. and the horrible way
he actually did.Copy !req
307. There's not a thing that happened
that couldn't have been an accident.Copy !req
308. You see, Miss Harrington,
the shock of fiinding your uncle dead...Copy !req
309. Please don't treat me like
a mental patient who has to be humored.Copy !req
310. I also majored in psychology.Copy !req
311. - I'm sorry. I didn't mean...
- You could learn a lot from children.Copy !req
312. They believe in things in the dark
until we tell them it's not so.Copy !req
313. Maybe we've been fooling them.
Good night, Dr. Holden.Copy !req
314. I'm really quite Flattered you've taken
such an interest in my welfare.Copy !req
315. Don't be. If I hadn't been away,
my uncle might still be alive.Copy !req
316. - It was an accident.
- I don't believe that.Copy !req
317. I loved my uncle very much, and I want
to know exactly what happened to him.Copy !req
318. You don't seem to share my view.
Good night.Copy !req
319. Wait just a minute.Copy !req
320. I've tested this card
through and through.Copy !req
321. There's been no chemical
used on it.Copy !req
322. Are you sure? Couldn't it
have rubbed off in my pocket?Copy !req
323. Maybe, but some of it certainly would
have been absorbed into the card...Copy !req
324. and my absorption tests
would have shown it.Copy !req
325. This card is 100% clean.
I guarantee it.Copy !req
326. I see.
Well, thank you.Copy !req
327. How would you like to show me
the way to Lufford Hall...Copy !req
328. and the friendly
Mr. Karswell tomorrow?Copy !req
329. - Then you think...
- Don't jump to conclusions.Copy !req
330. I just wanna borrow a book from him
and discuss a chemistry problem.Copy !req
331. - Are you sure this is Karswell's place?
- That's what it said back there.Copy !req
332. I don't know what his racket is,
but it pays very well.Copy !req
333. Sounds like a human sacrifiice.Copy !req
334. Well, you remember
the magic word, of course.Copy !req
335. - Yeah!
- Now!Copy !req
336. Abracadabra!Copy !req
337. See? A magic puppy.Copy !req
338. Now, who'd like to stroke
a magic puppy?Copy !req
339. Another one.Copy !req
340. It's magic.Copy !req
341. Just a tame magician.
So that was it.Copy !req
342. That was what?Copy !req
343. The answer to
my chemistry problem.Copy !req
344. Why don't...Copy !req
345. Right, children. Now,
just be good for a few minutes.Copy !req
346. I shall be back.Copy !req
347. - Holden. Delighted to see you.
- I hope we're not intruding.Copy !req
348. Not at all. Just my annual Halloween
party for the village children.Copy !req
349. I'll come right up.Copy !req
350. - He's just a nice old guy.
- Perhaps he's Santa Claus in disguise.Copy !req
351. I didn't recognize you.Copy !req
352. I used to earn my living
like this years ago.Copy !req
353. You see before you
Dr. Bobo the Magnifiicent.Copy !req
354. Excuse me.
This is Miss Joanna Harrington.Copy !req
355. - Miss, uh, not by any chance...
- Yes. He was my uncle.Copy !req
356. I was very sorry
to hear of his accident.Copy !req
357. He was a man of great principle.Copy !req
358. Mother?Copy !req
359. I'd like you to meet my mother.
You must try her homemade ice cream.Copy !req
360. She's very proud of it.Copy !req
361. - May I introduce Dr. Holden.
- How do you do?Copy !req
362. And Miss Joanna Harrington.Copy !req
363. Miss Harrington is a niece
of Henry Harrington's.Copy !req
364. Dr. Holden's going to borrow
a book from my library.Copy !req
365. - I've asked them to stay.
- How nice.Copy !req
366. I hope you don't mind
children's parties, my dear.Copy !req
367. Julian's so fond of children.Copy !req
368. He really ought to be married,
but he's so fussy.Copy !req
369. - You aren't married, are you?
- No.Copy !req
370. - Oh, Mother.
- Do you like ice cream, my dear?Copy !req
371. - Yes, I love it.
- Come with me. I'll give you a treat.Copy !req
372. - Would you like to try some?
- Not right now, thank you.Copy !req
373. Say, this is quite a place
you have here.Copy !req
374. Yes, yes.
Let me show you around.Copy !req
375. Snakes and Ladders. An English game.
You wouldn't know it.Copy !req
376. You see, if you land at the foot
of the ladder, you climb up to the top.Copy !req
377. But if you land on the head of a snake,
you slide all the way down again.Copy !req
378. Funny thing.Copy !req
379. I always preferred sliding down
the snakes to climbing up the ladders.Copy !req
380. You're a doctor of psychology.
You ought to know the answer to that.Copy !req
381. Maybe you're a good loser.Copy !req
382. I'm not, you know.
Not a bit.Copy !req
383. Just how much do you know
about this book that you're after?Copy !req
384. Not very much. Only that Professor
Harrington referred to it in his notes.Copy !req
385. A remarkable work. The few men
that really understood it...Copy !req
386. learned many strange
and terrifying secrets.Copy !req
387. Only a few?
Is it that hard to understand?Copy !req
388. I spent my life
trying to decipher it.Copy !req
389. The ancient sorcerers
who wrote it knew their information...Copy !req
390. was far too valuable to entrust
to any known language.Copy !req
391. I didn't realize
what I was asking for.Copy !req
392. You don't believe in witchcraft?Copy !req
393. Do you?Copy !req
394. Do I believe in witchcraft?
What kind of witchcraft?Copy !req
395. The legendary witch that rides
on the imaginary broom?Copy !req
396. The hex that tortures
the thoughts of the victim?Copy !req
397. The pin stuck in the image
that wastes away the mind and body?Copy !req
398. Also imaginary.Copy !req
399. But where does imagination end
and reality begin?Copy !req
400. What is this twilight...Copy !req
401. this half-world of the mind that
you profess to know so much about?Copy !req
402. How can we differentiate
between the powers of darkness...Copy !req
403. and the powers of the mind?Copy !req
404. - This is a stick-up!
- How terrifying.Copy !req
405. What do I see here?
Yes, some chocolate, I do believe.Copy !req
406. And there as well.
Here we are.Copy !req
407. Gosh! Chocolate!Copy !req
408. Wonderful, aren't they?
If only we grown-ups...Copy !req
409. could preserve their capacity
for simple joys and simple beliefs.Copy !req
410. I see you practice
white magic as well as black.Copy !req
411. Oh, yes.Copy !req
412. I don't think it would be
too amusing for the youngsters...Copy !req
413. if I conjured up
a demon from hell for them.Copy !req
414. Or for myself, for that matter.Copy !req
415. As we're not protected by the magic
circle, we'd both be torn to shreds.Copy !req
416. And you'd spoil the party.Copy !req
417. You're so right.Copy !req
418. But how to prove my point.Copy !req
419. There. It's done.Copy !req
420. What is?Copy !req
421. A magician doesn't like
to expose his magic, black or white.Copy !req
422. - Where are the others?
- They probably went 'round by the back.Copy !req
423. I didn't know
you had cyclones in England.Copy !req
424. We don't.Copy !req
425. - You probably could use a drink.
- The perfect host.Copy !req
426. This way.Copy !req
427. I'm sorry. I miscalculated.Copy !req
428. The wind's stronger than I expected.
Much too much.Copy !req
429. You're talking in riddles.Copy !req
430. To prove my point.Copy !req
431. A medieval witch's specialty...
a wind storm.Copy !req
432. Take my professional advice
and stick to rabbits and puppy dogs.Copy !req
433. You think I'm mad?
Unfortunately, you won't be able...Copy !req
434. to explain away your death
on the 28th of this month so easily...Copy !req
435. with my prediction of it
at this moment.Copy !req
436. You're really serious, aren't you?Copy !req
437. You will die as I said...Copy !req
438. at 10:00 on the 28th of this month.Copy !req
439. Your time allowed
is just three days from now.Copy !req
440. "My time allowed."Copy !req
441. Oh, yes, your trick with the card.
Very good too.Copy !req
442. I'm sorry you remain so skeptical.Copy !req
443. But as the time gets closer,
mental disintegration will set in.Copy !req
444. First, weakness and unsureness.Copy !req
445. And then horror, as the fear of
what is behind you grips your heart.Copy !req
446. Because it's there, Dr. Holden.
It's there!Copy !req
447. It has been from the moment
we met in the museum.Copy !req
448. You actually believe this nonsense.Copy !req
449. I asked you to drop
this ridiculous investigation.Copy !req
450. Perhaps you will
before it's too late.Copy !req
451. Well, it's nice to know that
I do have a way out, Mr. Karswell.Copy !req
452. The choice is yours.Copy !req
453. I don't know if the diagrams
are of any use to you, dear...Copy !req
454. but as you see,
the words make no sense at all.Copy !req
455. - What kind of language is this?
- I really don't know.Copy !req
456. I didn't know that you were interested
in the black arts, Miss Harrington.Copy !req
457. She wanted to see the books you and
Dr. Holden were discussing, didn't you?Copy !req
458. But we can't read a word,
can we, dear?Copy !req
459. - What especially interests you?
- The power of the runic symbols.Copy !req
460. Undoubtedly, the answer to your question
lies in that remarkable work.Copy !req
461. Unfortunately, it's unreadable.
It's written entirely in cipher.Copy !req
462. You offered to lend it to Dr. Holden.
Shall I take it to him?Copy !req
463. He also knows it would be useless
without a word key.Copy !req
464. The storm has ended.
I'm sure you and the doctor...Copy !req
465. are anxious to return to London.Copy !req
466. Yes. You mean the party's over?Copy !req
467. You'll fiind him in the morning room
where I left him waiting.Copy !req
468. Well, good-bye, my dear.
I'll see...Copy !req
469. I'll see you again soon, I hope.Copy !req
470. Yes. Thank you. Good-bye.Copy !req
471. It was a lovely party, wasn't it?
Except for that dreadful wind.Copy !req
472. Have I done something wrong?Copy !req
473. Yes, Mother.Copy !req
474. Do sit down.Copy !req
475. I only wanted to show her your books.
I know how proud you are of them.Copy !req
476. Yes, I know.
Listen, Mother.Copy !req
477. You believe in the supernatural.Copy !req
478. I've shown you some of its power
and some of its danger.Copy !req
479. - Yes, Julian.
- Well, believe this also.Copy !req
480. You get nothing for nothing.Copy !req
481. This house, the land,
the way we live...Copy !req
482. Nothing for nothing. My followers
who pay for all of this...Copy !req
483. do it out of fear.Copy !req
484. And I do what I do
out of fear also.Copy !req
485. It's part of the price.Copy !req
486. But if it makes you unhappy, stop it.Copy !req
487. Give it back.Copy !req
488. How can you give back life?Copy !req
489. I can't stop it.
I can't give it back.Copy !req
490. I can't let anyone destroy this thing.
I must protect myself.Copy !req
491. Because if it's not
someone else's life, it'll be mine.Copy !req
492. You understand, Mother?
It'll be mine.Copy !req
493. You're home.Copy !req
494. That's the fiirst thing
you've said for half an hour.Copy !req
495. What's the use of talking?
It has no effect.Copy !req
496. - But it has.
- Then what are you gonna do about it?Copy !req
497. Practice restraint.Copy !req
498. I'm gonna order a sandwich
and a glass of milk and go to sleep.Copy !req
499. How a man who's been told he'll die
in three days can consider sleeping...Copy !req
500. is all the proof I need
of the supernatural.Copy !req
501. I'm not all that brave.
I'm not all that gullible either.Copy !req
502. - When am I gonna see you again?
- Why?Copy !req
503. Do you think I'm gullible?Copy !req
504. But nice. When?Copy !req
505. Well, I'll be too busy
going through my uncle's papers...Copy !req
506. I have a full day tomorrow too,
but I'd be happy...Copy !req
507. to accept an invitation to dinner.Copy !req
508. Come on. Say "yes."Copy !req
509. I know some very interesting experiments
in cause and effect.Copy !req
510. We could discuss them as...Copy !req
511. as fellow scientists, of course.Copy !req
512. - About 8:00?
- Thank you. And don't worry.Copy !req
513. I'll be around to see the outcome of
Mr. Karswell's remarkable prediction.Copy !req
514. - Good night.
- Good night.Copy !req
515. Nice of you to drop in, Kumar.
Good evening, Holden.Copy !req
516. Why, Mr. Holden.
Are you ill?Copy !req
517. - I'm all right. Hello, Mark.
- I phoned you earlier.Copy !req
518. The authorities have been diffiicult
about cooperating on Hobart.Copy !req
519. We need the family to sign a release.
I have it here.Copy !req
520. If it's gonna be that much trouble,
forget it.Copy !req
521. His memory patterns
are probably worthless anyway.Copy !req
522. Besides, I've met this Karswell.Copy !req
523. - He's just a harmless faker.
- You are a very skeptical man.Copy !req
524. That's what Karswell said.Copy !req
525. - Care for a nightcap?
- I wouldn't mind.Copy !req
526. Haven't you gentlemen heard that
alcohol is the devil's brew?Copy !req
527. And interested as I am in the devil,
I never indulge, thank you.Copy !req
528. O'Brien, don't you think that...Copy !req
529. O'Brien, don't you think that...Copy !req
530. skepticism is
the scientifiic attitude?Copy !req
531. Oh, sometimes.Copy !req
532. All good scientists
are from Missouri.Copy !req
533. In other words, they should
continually be saying, "Show me."Copy !req
534. - And if you are shown?
- Then I'll look twice.Copy !req
535. - Like water?
- No, thank you.Copy !req
536. The whole question
of this demon monster...Copy !req
537. that you think shocked Hobart
out of his mind...Copy !req
538. is a perfect example of
auto-suggestion and mass hysteria.Copy !req
539. Just the same as Flying saucers.Copy !req
540. Someone imagines that
they see moving lights in the sky.Copy !req
541. And the next thing,
a thousand hysterical witnesses...Copy !req
542. turn up all over the world swearing
that Martians are attacking us.Copy !req
543. And now, this nonsense.Copy !req
544. It even affects serious men
like yourselves.Copy !req
545. Sometimes, even me.Copy !req
546. But logic... the reality
of the seeable and the touchable...Copy !req
547. that's what convinces me fiinally.Copy !req
548. Certainly not rumor
or intuition or funny feelings.Copy !req
549. Here's how.Copy !req
550. I wouldn't dream of arguing with you.Copy !req
551. You say, "Show me."
I say, "Look for yourself."Copy !req
552. You know, the devil has something here.
Very pleasant.Copy !req
553. He's most dangerous
when he's being pleasant.Copy !req
554. Look, Mark,
I don't want to be arbitrary...Copy !req
555. about this Hobart business,
if you're so set on it.Copy !req
556. - Let me think it over, will you?
- We haven't much time.Copy !req
557. - This is the release form.
- Thank you.Copy !req
558. I wonder...Copy !req
559. if either of you
could recognize this tune.Copy !req
560. It goes something like this.Copy !req
561. And then it goes...Copy !req
562. Sounds like a distortion
of an Irish folk tune.Copy !req
563. About the devil, I believe.
Present devils excepted, of course.Copy !req
564. A most odd coincidence.Copy !req
565. For in Northern India
there is a similar tune...Copy !req
566. which is also part
of an enchantment spell.Copy !req
567. Well, that takes care of that.
I guess I must have heard it somewhere.Copy !req
568. It kept running through my mind.Copy !req
569. Tell me, what have you got in your
program for the convention tomorrow?Copy !req
570. Only a few sessions on
extrasensory perception.Copy !req
571. The timetable
is over there on the desk.Copy !req
572. I'd like to watch you work.
Do you mind?Copy !req
573. Not at all.
Be glad to have you.Copy !req
574. Holden, you are not leaving us
after the 28th, are you?Copy !req
575. No. Why did you ask that?Copy !req
576. Well, it's just that all the pages
after the 28th are torn out.Copy !req
577. I hope we don't run out of candles
before the power lines are repaired.Copy !req
578. Don't you think eating
by candlelight is romantic?Copy !req
579. Yes, but not on a night like this.Copy !req
580. Shall we have some brandy
in the living room?Copy !req
581. I could use something
to warm me up.Copy !req
582. Don't say it.
I know you think it's hot in here.Copy !req
583. No. As a matter of fact,
it's rather chilly.Copy !req
584. Do you know The Ancient Mariner?Copy !req
585. Vaguely. I read it in school.Copy !req
586. I found a copy of it
in my uncle's desk.Copy !req
587. He underlined one part.Copy !req
588. "Like one that on a lonesome road
doth walk in fear and dread...Copy !req
589. because he knows a frightful fiiend...Copy !req
590. doth close behind him tread."Copy !req
591. I hope you don't read poems like that
to your kindergarten class.Copy !req
592. When it's important that
a child learn something...Copy !req
593. I use the most
direct means available.Copy !req
594. I get it, teach.Copy !req
595. He scribbled a note
on the next page.Copy !req
596. I never had a kindergarten teacher
as pretty as you are.Copy !req
597. - I'm serious.
- So am I.Copy !req
598. You wouldn't deny a dying man
a last request, would you?Copy !req
599. You'll listen whether you like it
or not. You haven't much time left.Copy !req
600. "Today I found all the pages
of my desk calendar...Copy !req
601. torn out after October the 22nd."Copy !req
602. I know why.
He died on the 22nd.Copy !req
603. John, what's the matter?Copy !req
604. The same thing happened
to my desk calendar, after the 28th.Copy !req
605. And I know why.Copy !req
606. You put the two together, and
they add up to a very obvious trick.Copy !req
607. You see, when a tribal witch doctor
puts a hex on his victim...Copy !req
608. he always lets the victim know
well beforehand.Copy !req
609. Let me see your uncle's diary.Copy !req
610. In case it would
make you feel better...Copy !req
611. a parchment has to be passed...Copy !req
612. and the person has to
take it without knowing.Copy !req
613. My mother taught me never
to take anything from strangers.Copy !req
614. - I still don't.
- Then what killed my uncle?Copy !req
615. An accident with a falling
power line killed him.Copy !req
616. Then he should only
have been burned.Copy !req
617. His body was mutilated horribly.Copy !req
618. The police said
it could've been an animal.Copy !req
619. The only thing they didn't say
was what kind of animal.Copy !req
620. What do you expect me to do?
Nobody's free from fear.Copy !req
621. I have an imagination
like anyone else.Copy !req
622. It's easy to see a demon
in every dark corner.Copy !req
623. But I refuse to let this thing
take possession of my good senses.Copy !req
624. If this world is ruled by demons and
monsters, we may as well give up now.Copy !req
625. Nobody said we were ruled by them.Copy !req
626. You just want me to give in to
Karswell's carefully calculated threats.Copy !req
627. That's exactly what he wants me to do.Copy !req
628. Because he knows he can't stand up
to a real investigation.Copy !req
629. If he's so all-powerful,
what's he so afraid of?Copy !req
630. I wish I knew.Copy !req
631. Are you sure Karswell never
passed anything or gave you anything...Copy !req
632. on which the runes
could have been written?Copy !req
633. - What if he did?
- Did he?Copy !req
634. Well, he could have at the museum
when my notes fell to the Floor.Copy !req
635. As a matter of fact,
he mentioned the museum the other day.Copy !req
636. Yes?Copy !req
637. Well, he picked up the papers
and handed 'em back to me.Copy !req
638. - Where are they now?
- At my hotel, I suppose.Copy !req
639. No.Copy !req
640. They're in my briefcase.
I have it here.Copy !req
641. He did give you the parchment.Copy !req
642. - It's trying to escape!
- It's just the wind.Copy !req
643. But it is trying to escape
into the fiire!Copy !req
644. It's the draft from the chimney.Copy !req
645. What made them stop?Copy !req
646. I don't know.Copy !req
647. Pardon me.
Is this the Hobart farm?Copy !req
648. - Is this the Hobart place?
- Get off this property!Copy !req
649. - All I'm trying to fiind out...
- You heard what I said. Get off!Copy !req
650. They told me this was the Hobart farm.
If it is, I've got to see Mrs. Hobart.Copy !req
651. All right.
Come in.Copy !req
652. Sit, you.Copy !req
653. What be it you want with us?Copy !req
654. - Is Rand Hobart your son?
- He was my son.Copy !req
655. You know, he hasn't been proven
to be the killer, Mrs. Hobart.Copy !req
656. Speak your business.
I'm not interested...Copy !req
657. in his guilt or want of guilt.Copy !req
658. Very well.
I head a group of scientists...Copy !req
659. who would like to examine him
and try and fiind out what it was...Copy !req
660. that drove him out of his mind.Copy !req
661. We know what it were.Copy !req
662. - Let him be.
- Let him die.Copy !req
663. Do you know for a fact
he was the murderer?Copy !req
664. He made the killing happen.Copy !req
665. It were he that were chosen,
and he passed it to a brother.Copy !req
666. The time will come when them that
have no true belief shall be accursed.Copy !req
667. What do you want to do with him?Copy !req
668. The authorities say that I'll have
to have the written permission...Copy !req
669. of the next of kin before
he can be released to us.Copy !req
670. So I was hoping you would sign
this release paper, Mrs. Hobart.Copy !req
671. And what will this examination do?Copy !req
672. We hope that under hypnosis...Copy !req
673. That's a special technique we have...Copy !req
674. that we'll be able to fiind out what he
did and saw at the time of the killing.Copy !req
675. You say it was his brother who died.Copy !req
676. I didn't realize
it was one of the family.Copy !req
677. A brother of the faith.Copy !req
678. A true believer, not like him.Copy !req
679. I'll sign it as you ask.Copy !req
680. Why do you do this for him?Copy !req
681. What be it to us what they want?Copy !req
682. Let them all know what he saw.Copy !req
683. Well, thank you very much,
Mrs. Hobart.Copy !req
684. I'll let you know what happens.Copy !req
685. He has been chosen.Copy !req
686. I've been chosen for what?Copy !req
687. What do you mean?Copy !req
688. Let no arm be raised to defend him.Copy !req
689. Defend me from what?Copy !req
690. That's it, sir.
Number 44.Copy !req
691. Thank you.Copy !req
692. Over here, John.Copy !req
693. I'm sorry I'm late. I just got back
to the hotel and found your message.Copy !req
694. It's only a minute or two.
I wanted to wait and go in with you.Copy !req
695. - What is this all about?
- I'm not sure I know.Copy !req
696. That's why I asked you to come here.
I didn't want to have to explain.Copy !req
697. I promised Mrs. Karswell
I'd bring you here.Copy !req
698. - Mrs. Karswell?
- John, she wants to help you.Copy !req
699. I thought we might take a chance.
I mean, I thought...Copy !req
700. at least we might learn something.Copy !req
701. After this afternoon, I must confess
there are a few things I don't know.Copy !req
702. I'm so glad you've come,
both of you.Copy !req
703. Mr. Meek has just telephoned.
He's on his way.Copy !req
704. - May I ask who Mr. Meek is?
- The gentleman I want you to meet.Copy !req
705. And this is Mrs. Meek.
Miss Harrison...Copy !req
706. I mean Harrington,
and Dr. Holden.Copy !req
707. - How do you do?
- Excuse me, please.Copy !req
708. Don't you worry. All your problems
will be solved. You'll see.Copy !req
709. That's very nice.
May I ask how?Copy !req
710. - Through tonight's seance.
- Seance?Copy !req
711. Yes. Mr. Meek
is the most remarkable medium.Copy !req
712. I come to him with all my problems.
Here he is now.Copy !req
713. John, she's trying to help you.Copy !req
714. I said I'd talk to her.
But this nonsense...Copy !req
715. - These things are all phony.
- Oh, please.Copy !req
716. You'll hurt Mr. Meek's feelings.Copy !req
717. - He really is a most wonderful man.
- Well, good evening.Copy !req
718. 'Tis a good evening too.
A little warm, perhaps.Copy !req
719. Mr. Meek, this is Dr. Holden.Copy !req
720. So you're the gentleman who was
in trouble. Maggie, dear?Copy !req
721. Well, life's full of
little problems, isn't it?Copy !req
722. Let's see. What's yours?
No, perhaps you better not tell me.Copy !req
723. The spirits sometimes
resent previous knowledge.Copy !req
724. Well, let's see if
we can clear the air.Copy !req
725. Well, let's see if
we can clear the air.Copy !req
726. Not being part of the circle,
you two had better sit by the window.Copy !req
727. Well, Maggie, no point in wasting
these good people's time.Copy !req
728. I must be insane to get involved
in a thing like this.Copy !req
729. John, please.Copy !req
730. Very well, Maggie.Copy !req
731. Cherry ripe
Cherry ripeCopy !req
732. Ripe, I cryCopy !req
733. Full and fair onesCopy !req
734. We must all sing.
The spirits like it.Copy !req
735. He's going off.Copy !req
736. That's really very quick.
He's so helpful, you'll see.Copy !req
737. Mrs. Karswell...Copy !req
738. Something's here.
Can't you feel it?Copy !req
739. That's Crimson Eagle.
He's Mr. Meek's guide.Copy !req
740. He's a Red Indian Chief from
an obscure part of your country.Copy !req
741. Well, a kindly good evening
to you, friends.Copy !req
742. Good evening, Mr. McGregor.
That's Mr. McGregor.Copy !req
743. He always comes through.
He's a friend of ours.Copy !req
744. Bonny weather we're having.Copy !req
745. It'll do a mickle of good
to the Flowers and the barley.Copy !req
746. Lovely weather, Mr. McGregor.Copy !req
747. But I sense we have
strangers in our midst.Copy !req
748. Two strangers.Copy !req
749. But they're very sympathetic.Copy !req
750. Will ya ha' them into the circle?Copy !req
751. That's really a great honor.Copy !req
752. Mr. McGregor's so particular
who sits in the circle. Here.Copy !req
753. Over here, both of you.Copy !req
754. Mommy! Oh, Mommy!Copy !req
755. Somebody's poor departed child.
I wonder whose.Copy !req
756. I can't fiind...Copy !req
757. I can't fiind Frederica.Copy !req
758. She's lost her doll.Copy !req
759. - It's my uncle.
- Don't be foolish.Copy !req
760. - Are you there, Joanna?
- Yes.Copy !req
761. - These things are all faked.
- But it is my uncle! I know his voice!Copy !req
762. Please!
You'll hurt Mr. Meek.Copy !req
763. Got to...Copy !req
764. Got to tell Holden...Copy !req
765. he can't fiight it.Copy !req
766. It's too strong.Copy !req
767. He means you must
give up the investigation.Copy !req
768. - This is crazy.
- Karswell has the key.Copy !req
769. He's translated the old book.Copy !req
770. The answer is there.Copy !req
771. - No!
- Look!Copy !req
772. It's in the trees!
It's coming!Copy !req
773. The demon!
It's coming! No!Copy !req
774. That does it.Copy !req
775. Don't turn the light on!
He's in a trance!Copy !req
776. - A trance my eye.
- Maggie, I feel sick.Copy !req
777. - You're not the only one.
- He's still alive, no thanks to you.Copy !req
778. Don't you know that to wake a medium
out of a trance is to risk his life?Copy !req
779. But it was real!
You must do as he says.Copy !req
780. Don't you understand?
Oh, dear.Copy !req
781. Mr. Holden!
Don't go, Mr. Holden!Copy !req
782. Oh, Mr. Holden, you must listen!
Mr. Meek knew nothing!Copy !req
783. Let them go. All right, Mother.
Come along with me.Copy !req
784. But I tell you, it did sound
like my uncle's voice.Copy !req
785. But I tell you, it did sound
like my uncle's voice.Copy !req
786. It was Mr. Meek doing
voice impersonations.Copy !req
787. And your supposed friend,
Mrs. Karswell, states the whole thing.Copy !req
788. She's looking out
for her son's interests, not mine.Copy !req
789. Tomorrow's the 28th.Copy !req
790. That would be a real miracle
if Karswell could change time.Copy !req
791. Would that convince you that
there is something in all this?Copy !req
792. It might help.Copy !req
793. Then I'm going to Karswell's house
to see if I can fiind it.Copy !req
794. Go ahead.Copy !req
795. Aren't you even going
to try to stop me?Copy !req
796. It would be easier
to stop Karswell's demon...Copy !req
797. than a woman who has
her mind made up.Copy !req
798. No lights are showing.Copy !req
799. If anybody fiinds you there,
the charge will be burglary.Copy !req
800. Karswell is away.
His mother told me.Copy !req
801. If you fiind a reception committee
waiting for you...Copy !req
802. will you believe then that
Mrs. Karswell loves her son, not us?Copy !req
803. I hope that's
what does happen.Copy !req
804. Don't you see
I want to be wrong?Copy !req
805. There's nothing I'd like better
than to fiind out...Copy !req
806. that this is all being put on
just to scare you off.Copy !req
807. Where are you going?Copy !req
808. - To see if I can get into the house.
- But it was my idea.Copy !req
809. You didn't think for a minute that
I'd let you go in there, did you?Copy !req
810. - I'll go with you.
- No, it'll be much easier for me.Copy !req
811. I can get next to the house by going
through the woods without being seen.Copy !req
812. And with you waiting,
I'll hurry back.Copy !req
813. - Why did you drop the poker?
- It's red-hot.Copy !req
814. It isn't, you know.
My boy, you're as pale as death.Copy !req
815. There was something in here.Copy !req
816. Nothing to worry you. Just a minor
demon I set to protect the room.Copy !req
817. Nothing like the real thing
when you meet it.Copy !req
818. It may have been minor,
but it had claws and teeth.Copy !req
819. Oh, claws and teeth.Copy !req
820. Did you bite the man?
Oh, shame.Copy !req
821. I don't keep you as a watch cat.
I left the book in full sight for him.Copy !req
822. His name is Greymalkin.Copy !req
823. A very fashionable name
for English cats in the Middle Ages.Copy !req
824. - They were used in witchcraft.
- It was not that cat.Copy !req
825. Oh, yes, it was.
You must have awakened him.Copy !req
826. You shouldn't have,
at the time of the full moon...Copy !req
827. when cats wander
and witches dance.Copy !req
828. Oh, yes. They do dance.
I've seen them.Copy !req
829. - You really are crazy, aren't you?
- On the contrary. You seem unhinged.Copy !req
830. Is breaking into my house to read
my scribbles an indication of sanity?Copy !req
831. - I was talked into that.
- Ah, Miss Harrington, no doubt...Copy !req
832. that horribly bright young woman.Copy !req
833. - I don't think she'd be Flattered.
- At least her head isn't in the sand.Copy !req
834. She believes that she can see.
She can.Copy !req
835. She believes that she's alive.
She is.Copy !req
836. She believes that you'll die
tomorrow night. You will.Copy !req
837. Julian, I thought I heard...Copy !req
838. It's all right, Mother. Just a social
visit. Dr. Holden was just leaving.Copy !req
839. - Is your car outside?
- Housebreakers don't leave cars.Copy !req
840. You have a point there. Give my regards
to that intelligent young woman.Copy !req
841. If you're thinking of going through
the woods, you might fiind it unpleasant.Copy !req
842. I suggest you use the drive.
I'll put on the light for you.Copy !req
843. I have one superstition...
I like to go back the way I came.Copy !req
844. He's a very obstinate young man.Copy !req
845. I told him not to go through the woods.
He just wouldn't listen.Copy !req
846. It was dark in the trees...Copy !req
847. It was dark in the trees...Copy !req
848. and I saw this smoke.Copy !req
849. I know this sounds crazy, but...Copy !req
850. I could've sworn
the smoke came after me.Copy !req
851. And don't forget
Karswell tore out those pages.Copy !req
852. I mean,
the book must have had the answer.Copy !req
853. Why would he have
torn them out otherwise?Copy !req
854. Quite. One usually has
a reason for tearing things out.Copy !req
855. And this feeling
of being followed.Copy !req
856. And Karswell says
Dr. Holden will die tomorrow night.Copy !req
857. Of this enchantment thing?Copy !req
858. Forget the hex. Let's say something
came after me. Take it from there.Copy !req
859. We've been through
all of this before.Copy !req
860. Frankly, I think
a bit of sleep is indicated.Copy !req
861. It's extraordinary how different
a thing can look in the morning.Copy !req
862. - But there's so little time!
- If what you say is true.Copy !req
863. - But it is! All of it!
- Doctor...Copy !req
864. I don't think Scotland Yard can be
anything but an interested spectator.Copy !req
865. - I see your point.
- You mean, Uncle, you have a victim?Copy !req
866. You already have one...
my uncle.Copy !req
867. Have we got anything in criminal records
to cover phantoms and demons?Copy !req
868. - Not that I know of.
- I didn't think so.Copy !req
869. You're right. It will seem
different in the morning.Copy !req
870. But it is morning. It's 3:00
in the morning, to be exact.Copy !req
871. If you insist on setting the wheels
grinding, will you please wait here?Copy !req
872. Spare me a minute, sir.
There's a Dr. John Holden outside, sir.Copy !req
873. - The psychology chap?
- That's it, sir.Copy !req
874. It's... It's a bit awkward.
He's...Copy !req
875. It seems he's bewitched.Copy !req
876. You know, broomsticks and all that.
Thinks he's being followed by something.Copy !req
877. Apparently,
he's going to die tomorrow night.Copy !req
878. - Does he say so?
- Well, not exactly, sir.Copy !req
879. There's a young lady with him,
a Miss Harrington.Copy !req
880. Apparently, her uncle
went through the same thing.Copy !req
881. Thought he was being followed
by something or other.Copy !req
882. Thought he was going to die
on a certain night at 10:00.Copy !req
883. Did he?Copy !req
884. That's the thing that's
got me puzzled, sir. He did.Copy !req
885. You look angry.Copy !req
886. Maybe that's because I am.Copy !req
887. - With me, for bringing you here?
- No. At myself...Copy !req
888. for not realizing
what their attitude was bound to be.Copy !req
889. Look, Joanna,
let me tell you something about myself.Copy !req
890. When I was a kid, I used to walk
down the street with the other kids.Copy !req
891. When we'd come to a ladder,
they'd all walk around it.Copy !req
892. I'd walk under it, just to see
if anything would happen.Copy !req
893. Nothing ever did.
When they'd see a black cat...Copy !req
894. they'd run the other way
to keep it from crossing their path.Copy !req
895. But I didn't,
and all this ever did for me...Copy !req
896. was make me wonder why...Copy !req
897. why people could get so panicky
over absolutely nothing at all.Copy !req
898. I've made a career studying it...Copy !req
899. maybe just to prove one thing...Copy !req
900. that I'm not a superstitious sucker
like about 90 percent of humanity.Copy !req
901. But what did you
run from in the woods?Copy !req
902. It was a trick gadget that Karswell
had rigged up to frighten me away...Copy !req
903. and I fell for the bait
like an idiot.Copy !req
904. But he told you himself not
to go back through the trees.Copy !req
905. That's good psychology.Copy !req
906. The same as he used when he had
your sweet old Mrs. Karswell...Copy !req
907. plant the story
about his being away.Copy !req
908. Don't bother about him.Copy !req
909. He thinks I'm crazy anyway.
I'm beginning to think so myself.Copy !req
910. Allowing myself to be stampeded
like this into a state of hysteria...Copy !req
911. I suppose you mean by me.Copy !req
912. I didn't say you were
doing it deliberately.Copy !req
913. But that's what you meant.
Good night, Dr. Holden.Copy !req
914. When your partner comes out, tell him
it was just a bad Halloween joke.Copy !req
915. I want to clear up everything today,
even if it means...Copy !req
916. having the closing session
tonight.Copy !req
917. - Is that all right with you?
- Fine.Copy !req
918. Hobart's been send down today
by ambulance under guard.Copy !req
919. I want to get back to the States
as soon as possible.Copy !req
920. I'll get it.
You fiinish your breakfast.Copy !req
921. Yes?
Who's calling?Copy !req
922. It's Mrs. Karswell.Copy !req
923. Tell her I cut my throat.
Anything. Get rid of her.Copy !req
924. She's been calling all night.Copy !req
925. Dr. Holden has just left
for the day. I'm sorry.Copy !req
926. Hmm?
She's hung up.Copy !req
927. Karswell's working
his mother overtime.Copy !req
928. Let's go, shall we?Copy !req
929. Hello?
Oh, yes, Mrs. Karswell.Copy !req
930. I've tried to get Mr. Holden all day,
but he won't take a call.Copy !req
931. I thought perhaps you could
get through to him.Copy !req
932. Believe me,
I was as much surprised...Copy !req
933. byJulian's return
last night as you were.Copy !req
934. I think I found another way
to help Mr. Holden.Copy !req
935. I'm not certain
that he needs help.Copy !req
936. And even if he does, I'm quite sure
that he doesn't want it from me.Copy !req
937. But you can't mean that, surely.Copy !req
938. You must listen to me. Someone else
knows the secret of the parchment.Copy !req
939. Tell him Rand Hobart knows.Copy !req
940. All this evil must end,
Miss Harrington.Copy !req
941. It must end.Copy !req
942. I must ring off now.Copy !req
943. - Yes, Mother?
- Please, Julian, try to understand.Copy !req
944. I'm afraid it's you
who don't understand.Copy !req
945. All of us here know that
through the use of hypnotism...Copy !req
946. we can unlock certain sections
of the human mind...Copy !req
947. that are not
accessible to memory.Copy !req
948. A great deal of publicity
has been given lately...Copy !req
949. to hypnotized persons
who supposedly recall...Copy !req
950. an existence prior to birth.Copy !req
951. In all cases,
we must ask ourselves...Copy !req
952. "Do hypnotized people
always tell the truth?"Copy !req
953. The subject of hypnotism
brings us to a presentation...Copy !req
954. of the late Professor Harrington's
study and investigation...Copy !req
955. of people who follow
witch cults...Copy !req
956. and practice devil worship.Copy !req
957. We're going to perform
an experiment on the platform...Copy !req
958. with a Mr. Rand Hobart...Copy !req
959. who, through an experience
related to devil worship...Copy !req
960. has lost all contact with reality.Copy !req
961. Professor O'Brien,
the platform is yours.Copy !req
962. We have here
an extraordinary subject.Copy !req
963. For a period of time,
this man has been as you see him here.Copy !req
964. He fails to respond
to any normal stimulation.Copy !req
965. His experience, whatever it was...Copy !req
966. which we hope here to discover,
has left him...Copy !req
967. in a state of absolute
catatonic immobility.Copy !req
968. When I fiirst investigated this case,
the problem of how to hypnotize...Copy !req
969. an unresponsive person
was the major one.Copy !req
970. Now, the proceedings may be somewhat
dramatic, but they are necessary.Copy !req
971. The only way of bringing his mind
out of the womb of darkness...Copy !req
972. into which it has retreated
to protect itself...Copy !req
973. is by therapeutic shock...
electrical or chemical.Copy !req
974. For our purpose,
we are today using pentathol...Copy !req
975. and later methyl amphetamine.Copy !req
976. Hobart, look at this.Copy !req
977. Look at this.
You see only this.Copy !req
978. You see nothing else.
Only the light.Copy !req
979. Only this.Copy !req
980. You see only the light.Copy !req
981. Look at this.Copy !req
982. You see only this.Copy !req
983. You see nothing else.Copy !req
984. You see only this.Copy !req
985. Your eyelids are getting heavy.Copy !req
986. Tired.Copy !req
987. More and more tired.Copy !req
988. You're going to sleep.Copy !req
989. Sleep.Copy !req
990. Calm, restful sleep.Copy !req
991. Rest. Sleep.Copy !req
992. Now.Copy !req
993. You hear nothing but my voice.Copy !req
994. Do you understand, Hobart?Copy !req
995. You hear nothing but my voice.Copy !req
996. The patient is now in a deep trance and
will obey the commands of Dr. Holden.Copy !req
997. Methyl amphetamine.Copy !req
998. - Do you wish to proceed?
- No, I'll turn him over to you.Copy !req
999. - Do you wish to proceed?
- No, I'll turn him over to you.Copy !req
1000. Hobart, you'll next hear
the voice of Prof. O'Brien.Copy !req
1001. From that point on,
it will be his voice and his alone...Copy !req
1002. that you will hear and obey.Copy !req
1003. Do you understand that?Copy !req
1004. Yes?Copy !req
1005. - Do you hear me?
- Yes.Copy !req
1006. Mine is the only voice you'll hear.
Is that clear?Copy !req
1007. Yes.
Only you.Copy !req
1008. Hobart, what is the order
of the true believer?Copy !req
1009. Those of us
who believe that...Copy !req
1010. evil is good...Copy !req
1011. and good evil.Copy !req
1012. Yes, go on.Copy !req
1013. Who blaspheme...Copy !req
1014. and desecrate...Copy !req
1015. in the joy of sin
where mankind that is lost...Copy !req
1016. will fiind itself again.Copy !req
1017. And who revealed this
to you, Hobart?Copy !req
1018. Who?Copy !req
1019. The one who has brought us
the wisdom...Copy !req
1020. of the true belief.Copy !req
1021. - Julian Karswell?
- Yes.Copy !req
1022. Now, I want you to come
forward in time.Copy !req
1023. It is the night of the demon.Copy !req
1024. You must.Copy !req
1025. It is the night of the demon.Copy !req
1026. No! It's there.Copy !req
1027. I see it in the trees...Copy !req
1028. the smoke and the fiire.Copy !req
1029. My time allowed
is almost over.Copy !req
1030. Hobart, what do you mean,
"your time allowed"?Copy !req
1031. He's not in rapport with you.
Want me to turn him over?Copy !req
1032. - Yes, please.
- Hobart...Copy !req
1033. from now on, the only voice you'll hear
is that of Dr. Holden.Copy !req
1034. Do you understand?Copy !req
1035. What do you mean by
"your time allowed"?Copy !req
1036. To prepare for my death.Copy !req
1037. Why must you die?Copy !req
1038. I've been chosen.Copy !req
1039. How will you die?Copy !req
1040. The parchment was passed to me.Copy !req
1041. I took it without knowing.Copy !req
1042. Hobart, open your eyes.Copy !req
1043. Is this the parchment?Copy !req
1044. I passed it back to the brother
who gave it to me.Copy !req
1045. It was the only way.
I had to return it to him.Copy !req
1046. I didn't want to, but it was
the only way I could save myself.Copy !req
1047. To save yourself, you had to give it
back to the one who gave it to you?Copy !req
1048. Yes. Yes.
I had to.Copy !req
1049. And the demon took him.Copy !req
1050. Not me! Not me!Copy !req
1051. You're trying to pass it
to me again.Copy !req
1052. But I won't take it.Copy !req
1053. I won't!Copy !req
1054. Let it escape!
Let it escape!Copy !req
1055. It was born in fiire!Copy !req
1056. Let it die in fiire!Copy !req
1057. Oh, this is terrible.Copy !req
1058. Really terrible.Copy !req
1059. Could you get me a car
to take me to Lufford Hall?Copy !req
1060. You can use mine.
But why should you want to go there?Copy !req
1061. I have something to return
to Mr. Karswell. Give me the key.Copy !req
1062. Certainly.Copy !req
1063. Dr. Holden. Wait.Copy !req
1064. - I do not believe he's there.
- How do you know?Copy !req
1065. Mrs. Karswell told me
earlier on the telephone.Copy !req
1066. Knowing your attitude, I told her you
would not be interested. Are you?Copy !req
1067. - Yes, I am.
- She kept saying all evil must end...Copy !req
1068. but how could it?Copy !req
1069. - Go on.
- I hardly understood her...Copy !req
1070. but it seems that her son is taking
the 8:45 train to Southampton tonight.Copy !req
1071. - Would you know why?
- The 8:45.Copy !req
1072. Has the Southampton train
come through yet?Copy !req
1073. - She's in the station now.
- Give me one ticket, please.Copy !req
1074. Good evening, Dr. Holden.Copy !req
1075. My boy.
I've been expecting you.Copy !req
1076. Joanna.
First-stage hypnosis.Copy !req
1077. Oh, just a convenient way of stopping
idle chatter on the train.Copy !req
1078. She's not harmed.
I'll bring her out of it.Copy !req
1079. Now, wake.Copy !req
1080. There's a friend here.
Talk to him.Copy !req
1081. - John.
- This is abduction, you know.Copy !req
1082. Oh, dear me,
no, no, no.Copy !req
1083. She came quite willingly.Copy !req
1084. You came willingly,
didn't you?Copy !req
1085. You remember.
We discussed it...Copy !req
1086. oh, at great length.Copy !req
1087. John, he's frightened...
terrifiied of you.Copy !req
1088. I thought it was supposed
to be the other way around.Copy !req
1089. - He's trying to run away from you.
- You see why I let her sleep?Copy !req
1090. This idle chatter.Copy !req
1091. Karswell, I know now...Copy !req
1092. that you were right
and I was wrong.Copy !req
1093. Really?Copy !req
1094. But there is a way out for me.
You always said so.Copy !req
1095. - Here.
- What's this?Copy !req
1096. Read it.Copy !req
1097. You want me to admit your power.
You can send this to any newspaper...Copy !req
1098. and photostatic copies
to all your followers.Copy !req
1099. - Isn't that what you want?
- Yes, but it's too late now.Copy !req
1100. It's six minutes to 10:00.Copy !req
1101. Well, I guess it was my fault
for not listening toJoanna.Copy !req
1102. I'm sorry now
that I didn't listen.Copy !req
1103. And I want to thank you
for convincing me...Copy !req
1104. of the existence of a world
I never thought possible.Copy !req
1105. Oh, if only
you'd understood sooner.Copy !req
1106. I suppose...Copy !req
1107. I still have time
for a last cigarette.Copy !req
1108. No, thank you.
I've stopped smoking.Copy !req
1109. It must have been quite recently.Copy !req
1110. - Have you got a match?
- Yes, of course.Copy !req
1111. Thank you.Copy !req
1112. That's all right. You keep them.
I shan't need them anymore.Copy !req
1113. You're very generous.Copy !req
1114. Well, I'll leave you two alone.Copy !req
1115. I know there's a certain feeling between
you, and you might want to be alone.Copy !req
1116. Sit down. Your generosity is becoming
overwhelming as it gets closer to 10:00.Copy !req
1117. You're staying with me, Karswell.Copy !req
1118. You've sold your bill of goods too well,
because I believe you now.Copy !req
1119. I believe that in fiive minutes...Copy !req
1120. something monstrous and horrible
is going to happen.Copy !req
1121. And when it does,
you're going to be here...Copy !req
1122. so that whatever happens to me
will happen to you.Copy !req
1123. You're insane.
You can't do this.Copy !req
1124. No?
You're staying here, Karswell.Copy !req
1125. - You're staying right here.
- No!Copy !req
1126. Let him go, Holden!Copy !req
1127. Let him go, Holden!Copy !req
1128. - This man's insane. I must go.
- It's all right, Doctor.Copy !req
1129. We're the police,
as Holden knows.Copy !req
1130. We've had you under observation
at his request.Copy !req
1131. - Fortunately for you, as you can see.
- Yes, I see. Thank you.Copy !req
1132. It's obvious that Holden has got a bit
of a persecution complex about you.Copy !req
1133. Something about your
putting a hex on him.Copy !req
1134. That's ridiculous. If you'll excuse me,
I'm getting out of this station.Copy !req
1135. Johnny, he's lying. He bought a ticket
to Southampton. I saw it myself.Copy !req
1136. This is idiotic.
I can leave this train when I want.Copy !req
1137. - Excuse me.
- Here's your book.Copy !req
1138. It's not mine.
I found it here when I got on the train.Copy !req
1139. - Your bag, sir?
- My bag... Oh, yes.Copy !req
1140. - Yes, of course.
- These are his too.Copy !req
1141. You want your hat and coat,
don't you, sir?Copy !req
1142. Oh, yes. Very forgetful of me.
Thank you very much.Copy !req
1143. You passed them.Copy !req
1144. You slipped them in my pocket.Copy !req
1145. - It's two minutes of 10:00.
- Come on.Copy !req
1146. - What was that?
- Come on.Copy !req
1147. - There's a man on the track!
- What happened?Copy !req
1148. I don't know, but I think
the train's hit him.Copy !req
1149. Maybe it's better not to know.Copy !req
1150. The train must have
hit him and dragged him.Copy !req
1151. I thought he was on
the other side, sir.Copy !req
1152. Don't be ridiculous, Simmons.
Look at him.Copy !req
1153. The train must have hit him.Copy !req
1154. You're right.
Maybe it's better not to know.Copy !req
