Do not take the poison.
Strangle her in her bed.

The bed she sullied.

Carol?
- Mm?

Carol, are you awake?
- No.

Listen.

There is someone at the door.
- At this hour?

Why don't you just
just see who it is?

No, you go!
- Jesus Christ!

Oh my God!

Help me...

John.

For God's sake, I need help.

What happened?

Who is this?

Jane, is he...

Convincing performance, isn't it?

You stupid bastard!

That wasn't funny, John!

Do you find my acting
not convincing?

What is this? In the middle of the night!

That's enough to give you a heart attack.
- Stop.

Marking a murder.
- We were fast asleep.

That's what I thought, with a
strange gentleman under the covers.

Gentleman?

I was absorbed in my role.

My roommate Jane
Frewin, John Thurloe.

Since you have disturbed our beauty sleep
I'll make us some coffee.

Great! And sorry,
this will never happen again.

I'm still hot all over.

We know you made a horror movie.
We know you made a horror movie,

but that's why you don't have to
not to practice here at night!

Two hard working actresses
to rest.

You mean, two dormant actresses,
who are hard at work looking for work.

Very funny, who is he?

A madman I met on this
I met on this horror movie shoot.

You don't know yet that
we have a new job.

What kind of job?
- The stage, darling.

Back on the boards. Sounds fun.

We both have a contract with a
company called Theatre Group 40.

And further?

Next week the rehearsals
rehearsals in Eastcliff-on-Sea.

Start improvising, they said.
- Improvise.

Since drama school I have not
I haven't been on stage since drama school.

Will certainly be interesting,
if not macabre...

It's called.
- The Flesh and Blood Show.

That's right, how do you know?

Because I have the same offer.

You?

Any other famous people in the ensemble?

An Australian guy named Anthony
Weller. A new client of my agent.

We rehearse in an old,
unused theater at the end of the pier?

And then move to the West End
after a short tour. One hopes.

One hopes.

Who is the "Theatre Group 40"?
- No idea.

I guess we'll find out in Eastcliff.

Undoubtedly.

Beth, my dear.
- Captain Troy, you're back.

How beautiful you are.

How beautiful.

Arnold, this side view, this three
quarter side view, worries me.

Everything is in order during the recording.

I also did not mean
my recording itself.

I just think that
I look like a macho man.

As in "Victor."
- "Victor"?

Not to be compared.
It ran really well.

Your rough cut is better,

than many of the finished films
I've had to endure lately, Arnold.

Yes, but nevertheless
still a lot of work here.

I hope your opinion still exists
after the official press screening.

Don't worry, I'm looking forward to it.

I want you to meet the girl
Julia Dawson.

Yes, what a discovery.

I hope you will not go unmentioned.

She won't,
Arnold, she won't.

We will still talk.

You have pulled the option,
I expected.

You're in the O'Toole movie,
which will be shot in 8 weeks.

Hello Jerry.
- Hi!

It's all happening so fast.

That's the problem.

Have you checked this out for Julia yet?

Everything in order.
- Good.

We will miss you for a few
We'll be without you for a few weeks.

Some stage experience.

A little tour in London,
then later in the West End.

West End?
- They won't get that far.

After six weeks, you're out of there.

Isn't that a little unfair?
- Let me worry about that.

Mm, lovely sea air.

What? It smells like rotten fish.

But it is certainly
pretty here in the summer.

Come on.

Should I maybe ask him?

Excuse me, can you tell us
tell us where the Dome Theater is?

Sure, my dear.

Straight ahead from the station,

then the street to the lake and there
you stand then directly in front of the theater.

Thank you very much.

Hi!
- Hello girls.

You sure got here fast.
- Did you have a good trip?

Was okay.
- Look.

This is the Australian I was
I told you about, Tony Weller.

Jane Frewin and Carol Edwards.
- Hello.

Hurry inside before we freeze to death.

Let's try this door.
- Okay.

Super.
- Thank God.

We're in business, girls.

Not a stage porter in sight.
- There stands his tea.

If there is one.
- The cup has been there for years.

What about the phone?

Is dead, nothing.

Henry Watson. I wonder who that is?

Or was.

Some poor actor,
surely long dead.

A good place to die.

Here we are, here we go to the stage.

Any light? Ah, main switch.

Come on girls, this way.

The heating is off.
- Was to be expected.

The rehearsals will certainly take place
in this crypt here.

Let's hope that
the dressing rooms are warm.

Do you think we are the first?
- The rehearsals don't start until tomorrow.

Thank you very much, that's enough.

We could use a few more
need a few more blankets.

Hello! New customers?

Welcome to the morgue.

Jesus, I almost fell asleep.

Are you with us?

We come from Manchester.
Made us quite a bit.

Hey, Angela. Wake up. Wake up!

Damn, look how I look.

Hi! I suppose you
want to participate here, right?

Theatre Group 40?
- Yes, that seems to be us.

I'm Mike Archer, this is Angela
Wills and Simon Forrest from the cast.

Tony Weller, who we met today,
Carol Edwards and Jane Frewin.

It may sound stupid, but we
find it all very strange here.

Yes, it's a funny
atmosphere in the theater.

Probably because it has
has been empty for years.

How's that going here,
Mike, is everyone here yet?

One girl is still missing, Julia Dawson.

Sounds familiar.
- I know nothing about them.

My instructions were to come to
to come to this theater,

to meet you and start with the
improvisations for the show.

Or call it whatever you want.

An eight-piece ensemble, with you?
- Exactly.

We have searched the whole
desolate city

and there is only one
hotel that is way too expensive.

No furnished rooms
out of season.

We have decided
to live here in the theater,

for some time at least.
Mike has found bedding here.

Are the dressing rooms warm?

Sure, I have a
fan heater set up.

Let's do it that way and save money.

Yes, we thought so too.
Sleeping at work.

And if someone in the night
has a good dramatic idea,

then we get up and rehearse it on
the stage while it's still fresh.

There's a toilet up ahead, by the way.

Capital. The theater management will
will surely come to visit us.

Whoever that is.
- Exactly.

We can use that for
use for the second act.

Okay, great. What time?

After eleven.
- Bedtime.

Anyone else want something to eat?
- I am tired.

Then slip into your beds
and get a good night's sleep.

We'll continue tomorrow, okay?
- I'll turn off the light.

As your director, I want you
you sleep well, I suggest,

that the girls sleep here and the
boys sleep on the other side.

Unless you prefer to sleep
in your dressing rooms.

And only the empty stage between us?
- There is no other way.

Partly it is not enough,
because we are only three men.

Let's hope this
Miss Dawson arrives tomorrow.

Yes.

I put my stuff in the dressing room 3.

I like to keep to myself a little bit.
- Oh, me too.

That's what I was hoping for.

I've already taken your things there.
- Then we can be together for us.

A great idea.

That was fast.

Carol, don't you think that....

Obviously
not. Good night, Jane.

Looks like I'm your roommate.
I'm your roommate.

You're not sleeping
in that costume, do you?

Let me help you.

I can't reach the needle.

You are wasting time.

I prefer to keep some on.

You have too much on.

It's better that way.

What is it?

I thought someone was yelling here.

Must have been a seagull...

Do you hear that?

Yes.

This came out of the theater here.

Probably one of the girls.

You stay here. I'm gonna go check it out.

Has anyone else heard this?

What's going on?

I thought I heard a noise
I thought I heard a noise by the dressing rooms.

Someone moved.
- When?

More than an hour ago.
- Has anyone seen John?

No, isn't he here?
- His bed is empty. - And where is Angela?

Didn't anyone see them go out?

Hey, what was that scream?
- We do not know.

Let's find out.
- Good idea, do you have a lamp?

Yes.

The sound came from under the stage.

Under the stage?
- Seemed so.

I thought so too.
- Come, bring the lamp.

Seems to be the prop room
and the scenery warehouse.

Smells so like an old museum.

The things must have been
been here for years.

As if you would find something here.

It seems that here they have performed
"A Tale of Two Cities" was performed here.

Maybe we'll find Sydney Carton.
- Or Marie Antoinette.

It's worse than the chamber of horrors.

The prop master had
a macabre sense of humor.

See.

What is it?

A witch's cooking pot.
- Bon appetit.

There is nothing to be found here.

Shouldn't we look in the
auditorium to check?

Yes, also look at the
rank and into the boxes.

And you look into the
aisles by the dressing rooms.

Leave me the lamp, I
want to look around again.

Hello!

What are you looking for down here?

Check this out.

No, nothing, come with me.

Better put on your coat
if you're coming with me.

Where to?
- How?

We go to the police.

You're kidding.

Then I go alone,
you go with the others,

but please don't tell them a word of this.

Okay.

What kind of scream was that?

Find anything?
- No trace in the corridor.

There is absolutely nothing here,
no corpse or anything else.

Sorry to disappoint you
to disappoint you.

What was it then?
- I have no idea.

Mike might be able to help you there.

I wish I knew where Angela was.

Probably in the
Bathroom, will come already.

I advocate going to sleep.

Good night.
- Good night.

What the hell is Mike doing anyway?

He ran out of the theater in a hurry.

Why is that?

I really don't know.
Maybe to find Angela.

Don't you want to
sleep a little?

In a minute.
smoke before I come in.

You're a nervous guy, aren't you?

What do you think?

You've been up almost all night
been up all night

There you go.

Sweet dreams.

After all the hullabaloo
this is a joke.

It was nothing. Maybe
just a seagull.

I feel there is something wrong.

This damn theater. You get
a sense of doom and death here.

You're tired, that's your problem.

Tony.

I want to run away and go back to London.

You can't. You have
signed a contract.

It will be good when the show is on.

I hope so.

Oh no.

I'll see who it is.

I'm sorry if I'm interrupting, but...
maybe you can tell me...

where I can find Michael Archer?

He just left for a moment.

You're coming to our ensemble?
- Yes, that's right.

Then you are...
- Julia Dawson.

Carol Edwards, I'm Tony.
- We've been here since yesterday.

It is almost 4:30 in the
morning, strange time to arrive.

I was at a party tonight,

I did not want to go to bed and
then just drove here.

The streets were totally empty, I didn't
not expected to find anyone here.

We all sleep here in the theater.

Carol and I here, the
others on the stage.

Then I can have a corner here,
I promise not to disturb you.

I don't want to disturb the others as well.

It's only for a few hours.
- Why not.

I'll find you some bedding.
- Thank you.

Do you smoke?
- No, thank you.

I'm out of that age.

I warn you, this is
not a pretty sight.

We are used to it, sir.

Whoever beheaded them,

he even dressed her in this dress from the
French Revolution.

A rather macabre
Joke, don't you think?

Quite a macabre joke, Mr. Archer.
macabre joke, Mr. Archer.

Sorry.

I advise you to leave such games with the
Police in the middle of the night.

I don't understand?
- You don't?

We do not pursue...

Wax Doll Killer.

"Secret Island" won't be out for at least
in three months at the earliest,

Have you read the
previews yet?

No.

They were completely
with enthusiasm.

You know the nonsense,
that you write like that:

"Star qualities",
"Great performances",

"We will certainly see
see a lot from Julia Dawson".

If you're a big movie star,

why are you with such a
backyard theater group?

Found a lot for you.

Should be enough for now.
- Thanks.

The corner here all right?

Is our producer back? He
should know that I'm here.

Let's find out. I'll
introduce you, come with me.

Let's put it this way.
a bona fide mistake, Mr. Archer.

I accept it as an
oversight and we forget about it.

Good night.

What the hell kind of game are you playing?

Save you further trouble.
- What do you mean by that?

Why didn't you tell him
the truth?

Look Mike...

such a gag with a doll in the
guillotine on stage is great,

but it sucks to have to call the
cops in the middle of the night.

You overdid it, man.

It was like that, it really was like that.

Give it a rest, Mike,
don't play anymore.

This is page 1 of a joke book.

All right. Where is Angela Wills?

Maybe in the bathroom or something.

Hey, what's that?

"...decided to get out.
This is not my world.

I hope you will improvise without
me. Please accept my apologies, Angela Wills."

So that is the explanation.
- What was with the scream,

was that your improvised
farewell?

Maybe Mike can say something about that.

This is Julia Dawson.

THE Julia Dawson.

I'm sorry to show up here now,
but you've obviously already been disturbed.

I'm Mike Archer. Yes, we had a problem here.
a problem here, but that's over now.

We have in the group
now one girl too few.

We start with the rehearsals at
rehearsals at 9:00, okay?

Fine.

If you have the idea of being the
star of the show, forget it.

We work as a team here, without stars.
- That suits me.

We don't have a script, we improvise
improvise, that's hard work.

I am not afraid of hard work.

That's good.

Good, then we should
sleep a little more now.

Good night.
- Good night.

If I have to die...

then God help me to face it
with courage.

And then take me
quickly in your arms.

Don't let it be in vain.

Because if just one drop of my blood

saves a single family from
oppression and ruin,

from terror and humiliation,

then I am satisfied.

Lead me now to the place, gentlemen,
and do not shrink from it,

to do your cruel duty.

For I forgive you.

Thank you, Julia. That was really good.
- That was fantastic.

Great.
- Do you want coffee?

I just want to talk to Julia
and I'll meet you downstairs.

It's not bad, is it?
- If you say so.

Did you just make that up?

Yes, I imagined,

I would be a revolutionary
standing in front of the firing squad.

The words just came to me.
- That was good.

Thank you.

I look forward to working with
you guys, you're a nice bunch.

Yes, we are hot. I need
another replacement for Angela.

Ridiculous that we don't have a phone.

I'll call my agent at the coffee shop.

Good idea.

There's a little café up ahead.

I get my coat in the checkroom.

You look like you've seen a ghost.
you've seen a ghost.

There in the dressing room
I had the feeling

I would have experienced all this before.

Déjà vu? Really?

The mirror looked familiar
and the carved frame.

This was all explained by
Professor Dunne explained.

We jump for a fraction of a second
of a second into the subconscious,

where there is no time.
- That's how it is?

The illusion of repetition.

We see the past,
present and future all at once,

because our four-dimensional
experience is not in harmony.

Possible. In any case, I have a
strange feeling in the theater.

Yes?

So, I'll tell you what happened
happened last night.

The scream that everyone heard?
- It was more than just a scream.

What do you mean by that?

Do not tell the
what I tell you.

Of course.

After we heard the scream,
we searched the theater.

Then I went again through
the corridor under the stage.

It was very dark. Simon
had given me his lamp.

The rest searched the rooms upstairs.

DEMOLISHED AISLE, DO NOT ENTER

A handy sandwich, Jane.

That's disgusting!
- John, really.

Simply terrible.

Where did you get that?
- From the souvenir store next door.

You are a disgusting
Pig, you disgust me!

Sorry, dear.

I did not know that it was
possible to disgust you.

What will it be.

Five coffees please.
- Beans and toast.

I would like to have ham...

Sorry, are we being too loud here?

But no, not at all.

Excuse me.
- No, no problem.

You bring a little life into it.

It's a bit dull here, isn't it?

Barren? Eastcliff is dead out of
Season dead, like a morgue.

Isn't that right, Jenny?

Oh, you have a
Labrador. I love Labrador.

There, you have a fan.

Are you young people from London?

Yes, we are rehearsing a show here.

Ah, theater people are you, yes?

Yes.

Yes, we are preparing a show
for London, maybe,

we're rehearsing back there in the Dome Theater.

Is that so?

Was closed for quite a while
the Dome Theater.

Nice to hear that
there is something going on again.

I have always been a great lover of the theater.

Nothing like a good play.

I used to play
played a little bit.

Amateur theater in India,
in the thirties.

We had a small
theater group in the garrison.

The place was called Mangapur, in the mountains.

It was a great time back then.

My house is also called Mangapur,
just off Northcliff Road.

My wife called it,
after the old garrison.

Let me hold the door open for you.

Thank you.

If any of you young
feel like having a cup of tea,

he is welcome.
Bell is my name, Mayor Bell.

I hope you are not
too busy with your play.

Come on Jenny, we have to go.

Poor drunk.

I hope I never get there,
to have a conversation with my dog.

Is there any coffee left?
- No, we'll order some more.

Make room for Julia.
- That's what we're doing.

Or not?

Waitress, two more coffees please.

Good, move with more momentum!

I want to see a little
see more body movement.

That's better, good, accurate.

Jane, don't worry.

Well done, everything is in order.

Mr. Archer?
- That's me.

I'm Sarah Hales. My agent
told me to report here.

Already?

Come in.

I don't believe it.

Did you fly with a rocket?

No, I live here in
Eastcliff, with my aunt.

And your agent called you?

And are you any good?
- I think so.

All right, we'll find out.

My aunt has a guest house in Marine,
Drive West. Maybe you know it?

Would it be able to accommodate
accommodate all of us?

We had some difficulties there.

Ask them, there's plenty of room.

That's good.

This is Sarah Hales.
- Hello!

Where are you going?
- I'm taking my bed and leaving.

Why?

I move to Jane in the
corner of the stage. See you then.

You have not
maybe you kicked her out?

Maybe she has discovered other
useful types discovered.

What exactly do you mean by that?

You fucking whoremonger!

You just take yourself
yourself too important!

I do not take myself
important, I am important.

Where are you going now?
- Out! I need fresh air!

Fresh air? Where?

Outside on the pier! Or on the promenade!

I need to take a breath!

Otherwise I'll suffocate!

Oh, go to hell!

Here.
- Thank you.

Pretty tired, huh?

My whole body
hurts after this torture.

Yes, I feel the same way.

What time? Oh, almost midnight.

I'm going home.

Good night Mike, Julia.

Do not forget the tea
at my aunt's tomorrow.

Good night.
- Good night, Sarah.

Is this brutal, how I hunt you?

I enjoy that. That's what
my agent said:

"Go down to them and
let them roll you through.

Use your body and your imagination
imagination until the next film."

She said that.

So here I am,

with the whip driven by
a very accurate slave driver.

Hello Tony.

Do you hear that wind?

Creepy.

The wind whistles through the
struts under the pier.

Wouldn't surprise me
if we all end up in the sea.

Don't.

Did I scare you enough
that you liked to hold my hand?

Where is Carol?

Wanted to go out.
- Why?

What to try. She
will be right back.

I hope at least
that she comes back.

You're hoping someone will come back?
- Carol.

She ran out
ran out into the night.

This is madness.

Bad night, isn't it?

You should try
somewhere to stay.

You shouldn't be out here on a night like this.
out here on a night like this.

You catch pneumonia here
pneumonia.

Get away! No, no.

No, don't do that!

Tell them not to do that!

It may have taken any path.

Listen. I think I heard
heard someone screaming.

Who was that?
- Carol, what happened?

She's okay. She's okay.
to you, Tony.

We're going to the police.
- Wait a minute...

How should I say this now
say? Who has seen John?

Jesus.

Jesus...

We should still call the police.
- This is very complicated.

Let's spend the night
pass, I need to think.

He is a member of our group,
we have to be absolutely sure.

So you think that's why
he ran away?

He has gone too far this time and
does not dare to look us in the face.

I am convinced
the guy is a paranoiac.

He is obsessed with having to
cruel jokes to have to make.

It is an unconscious pretext,

the hidden, criminal
to live out the hidden criminal inclination.

Like a valve.

Kind of like a security gate?
- Yes, something like this.

And you really think that
this poor girl...

What was her name?
- Angela Wells.

Angela Wells to the guillotine
to the guillotine as a joke...

and then carried them away?
- Yes, I am sure.

They were fooling around,

John sees the guillotine
and pushes her under the knife.

And she continues to join in the fun.

There it comes over him, his
imagination floods him

and he pulls the...
- Don't!

Sorry.

Anyway, it's not there now.

You know, I don't think we should
not live in the theater anymore.

Maybe we'll get lucky with Sarah's aunt.
Aunt, she expects us today for tea.

I would have to open the rooms and
You can't get staff at this time.

There are seven of you, with
Sarah it would be eight...

you can't.

But I'll see what I can do,
if you wait a day or two.

We understand. Thank you for
we were allowed to bathe here.

And the tea.

When Sarah told me
that you were sleeping at the Dome,

I thought that it must be
must be very cold and dirty.

Yes, a little bit.

I live here for 30 years

and the theater has not been
no longer used since the war.

Except by amateur dramatic groups, of course.
But in the past it was very popular.

A repertory theater?
- Yes, before the war.

Then there were army concerts
and the like during the war.

Of course.

Then...
When was that again?

Must have been during the
Air war must have been,

I remember a
water impact during a demonstration.

What was performed?

I think "King Lear."

From the Arnold Gates group.
They were fantastic.

Arnold Gates?

You are a little too young
to know Arnold Gates.

He was a very good
Shakespearean actor.

And he had his own theater group.

They briefly performed
a little Shakespeare again,

during a
War Benefit Week or something.

That was quite an event, we didn't
We didn't usually have such big shows here.

But all of a sudden it was all over.

Because of some
oddities or scandals or something.

But that was a long time ago.

Ah, that must be the mayor.

Honey, will you let him in?

An old friend of
of mine, he lives around the corner.

A very lonely man who
comes every week for tea.

I hope you don't mind.
- Shouldn't we...

No, I asked him specifically.

Ah, there you are. Bunny, that
is very kind of you.

This is Mayor Bell.

We have already met
met in the café.

Right, how are you?

Where are the
other pretty girls?

Julia?

Sorry, they're in the bathroom. Excuse me,
I'm not dressed yet.

You're welcome.
- Sit down, Mayor.

Make yourself comfortable.
- Thank you, my dear.

I told them about the theater.
- Oh, yes.

When Arnold Gates was there with
was there with his group.

The Shakesspeare actor.
- Yes.

I remember that one night
night he disappeared with his wife.

She performed together with him.

Together with another man.

This caused quite a stir,
no one knows what became of them.

But it was war, after all.

What year was that?
- 1944, I think.

Yes, I must have been too busy,
trying to drive the Japs out of India.

No time to worry about missing
Actors to worry about.

Sorry that we are
are not dressed yet.

My hair is still wet.
- Sit down.

You know Mayor Bell?
- Oh yes.

Yes, from the café.
- Take a seat.

How do you like your tea?

We are still rehearsing, there
not much to see.

It doesn't matter, I would love to watch.

Maybe later, when we're further along.

All right, bye.
- Bye.

I'm gathering my people
now, Mrs. Saunders.

Come on guys.
- It was nice to meet you.

Thank you for your invitation.
- That was nice.

Where is Julia?

Can I help?

Do you have old issues
of the local newspaper?

Eastcliff Echo?
- Yes, exactly.

What year and date?

1944 and 1945.

Yes, I think the
two vintages are there.

And an edition of the "Who is who in
the Theatre" from the same period?

You can find that in the reading room.

I saw her leave,
when we were playing miniature golf.

Maybe she
likes to go her own way.

Why does she keep playing the lead role?

The film is stuck in her head,
hence the star complex.

I think she has a right to do that.

Actor disappears
after triumph in Othello.

Has main actor left the country?

The mystery of Sir Arnold Gates.

Actor, wife and
Ensemble member disappeared.

Come along!

Don't run so far away,
we still have a lot to do.

Oh no!

But, this witch scene
is far from good.

Am I in on this, too?
- Yes, of course.

Get a costume.
- I'll get my suitcase in the foyer.

Everyone back on stage in 10 minutes, please.
stage, we'll start from the beginning, okay?

Uh, Carol?
- Yes, Mike?

Would you dress up this time
costume, to get in the mood?

Long skirt?
- Exactly.

I'm sure you can find
something in the prop room.

They must have played "The
Crucifixion".

Okay, I'll find something suitable.

Well?

What?

Well, then I'll just go alone
and look for something to wear.

I'll come with you.

Are you a little worried about
about little Carol?

I thought after last night
you'd be a little nervous.

Yes, you are right.

Come on.

Look, that's very inspiring.

Marie-Antoinette,
Queen of France.

On the way to the guillotine.

Dangers through the raging
Roads on a cart.

She looks with proud disdain

on the slavering,
sneering, spitting mob.

Then to the marketplace.

There she climbs the platform.

Gets blindfolded.

I feel the cold, rough
hands of the executioner,

my embroidered coat
from my shoulders,

to expose my neck.

I am now ready for
the cold steel knife.

Terrible, the ecstasy of the people....

Come on.

Tony.

Tony, where are you?

Tony.

It's not funny, Tony.

Come on, come on, let me out.

Tony, I've had enough of John's jokes.
John's jokes, don't start that, too.

Let's go, Tony. Let me out.

Tony.

Mike.

Simon?

Who is there?

It's all right, my dear.
Wait a minute, I'll find the...

Mayor Bell?

Oh, my dear, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, it's you.

I was looking for you all
and got lost in the process.

It seems I have reached the
front entrance.

This is you, the others
are all on stage.

I just changed my clothes.

Yes, I see it...

I'll turn around if you
want to put that thing on.

Thank you.

I was just about to go to your
young director,

to remind him of his invitation,

that I can watch you at work
watch you at work.

I am sure that
he will be pleased.

I'm done now.

If you want to take a seat,
I'll go and get Mike.

Come on, Tony!

You probably didn't lock the other door.
You probably won't have locked the other door.

All right, Tony. I
know you're out there.

If you think
I'm scared shitless, my dear,

then you are wrong.

Tony? Did you see that?

I just wanted to stop by,
because I was just in the area.

You are welcome to look at a
sample, it's just,

I would not have expected you as soon as.
- I see.

We'll let you know when we can.

Would you come out here with me, please?

It is easier
to walk through the theater.

So, we'll be in touch.
- Thank you.

There's a lady in trouble over there!
lady in trouble!

Quick, before the Elbe drives them away!

You can reach it from the
stairs to reach it!

Where.
- Under the pier!

Come on!

Is she injured?

She's still breathing.
need an ambulance.

Is she all right?
- We don't know yet.

We will take her to the hospital.

Thank you very much.

It is quite important for us,

that you do not tell anyone the details
of this unfortunate accident.

I must ask for your cooperation
in this case.

Accident? Do you still call
that still an accident?

The man is obviously
a dangerous paranoiac,

who hid in the theater

and now for the second time
attacked Carol.

Yes, you have given me very extensive details
about John Thurloe's behavior,

but it is not for you to
to jump to conclusions, sir.

It's our job,

the investigation into the death
of a young woman,

which fell from the
from the pier last night.

I must say, I feel it
really tingling in my hand.

It was all my damn fault.

Again.

Come on, Tony.
- Imagining Carol...

in the damn costume room.

How could I have assumed
that John would sneak up on her?

It was just a joke on my part.

I am firmly convinced
we will find John Thurloe.

And you should continue with your
continue with your rehearsals, is that possible?

My people are pretty beat up right now,

but I will try our
strange clients.

Yes, you should. But
You will all stay here, won't you?

Here or at Mrs. Saunders'.
- Yes, Marine Drive.

Oh, that unpleasant
story with the guillotine...

Angela Wills, yes, I'm afraid,
I've made a fool of myself.

She left a letter.

Angela Wills of Mitchum, Surrey.

She went home,
you think, don't you?

Please?

Neither her parents nor her
fiancé have seen her.

Interesting, isn't it?

Good afternoon, Mr. Archer.

Listen, Mike, I want
that everybody stays there.

Do not leave anyone out
until everything has been cleared up.

Thanks Alex, I'll call
you again tomorrow.

...I said,
you are welcome to me,

as long as you have not found
accommodation you have found.

We could help you with the housework
help when we are not rehearsing.

That is not necessary, but thank you
for the offer, my dear.

So, I'll be on my way.
I'm glad it worked out.

Good night.
- Good night.

Would you please show the
Show the girls the rooms

and I take meanwhile the uh...
- ...the male members of the troupe?

Will you follow me, please?

A bed after the hard
stage is paradise.

Have you talked to the management
Mike?

That's the problem, I talked
with my agent today.

When do you come here?

So, he tried to call
Theatre Group 40 to call,

via the number on the letterhead.

The line was not active.

He thought something was wrong
in order and went there...

and the address turned out to be a
a squalid hole in Frith Street.

No sign of a Theatre Group 40.

A hooker on the second floor,

above a sleazy bookstore,
who has lived there for three years,

has never heard of them.

There is no management, no money....

and someone is after us.

I don't like it at all.

Let's take the
Show to London, Mike.

There we look for another
management and play it forward.

We are not ready yet
and have no more time.

But not much is missing.
Maybe another 10 minutes.

We can do a run-through tomorrow
maybe we can come up with something.

Yes. And then it's off
to London the day after tomorrow.

Okay, I'll teach the others
the others in the morning.

I thank God for Mrs. Saunders.

It is easier to sleep here.

Why do you say that, Mike?
- John is still out there.

You don't think it was John?

No.

So what do you think?

I don't know.

No, sir. This is the way forward.

Yes, absolutely sure.

Our dramatic friend
John Thurloe of the Dome Theatre.

He has traveled far.

Washed up 23 miles from Eastcliff.

What does the pathological report
about time and cause of death?

Cause of death: Wounds to the head
and body, by sharp instrument.

Second cause: drowning.

Time of death: Probably not later
than midnight of the 17th of this month.

So that would have been the day before yesterday.

Is it so, yes?

That would be 14 hours
before the attack on...

Thank you, Max.
- Difficulties?

No, not really.

I think I'll talk to Archer,
that's the director at the theater.

Let's see what it has to say about that.

Thank you.

Come on folks, it's 7:00
o'clock. Back to work, let's go.

Another full run tonight....

I think it's going to be more of a stagger through.
- No breaks, Mike.

Let's do it.
- We'll do it in high gear.

It is really a pity,

nevertheless you are right,
to go back to London.

We have to, Mrs. Saunders.

There are some inconsistencies
with our client.

Until they are cleared up
we prefer to keep the show together

and offer them to someone else.

The Mayor was so disappointed when I told him
told him today in the drugstore.

He said it had done him so much good,
to have young people in the place.

Well...

Good night.
- Good night.

See you later.

Thank you for the great tea.
- Thank you, Mrs. Saunders.

Will it be late?

Well, it's hard to say.

You have a key, I
will leave the front light on.

Thank you very much. Good night.

First position for the opening image:
"The birth of an idea". Okay!

Sarah, finish with the tape.
Wait with the effects.

Bend your body more, Jane. Looser.

Simon.

Higher the head!

Come on, where's the shooting effect?

Sarah.

You're flubbing the ante here. There
the shots have to go in now!

Do them now, go!

Sarah.

I'll run the tape back,
we'll start again, okay?

Damn girl, what is she doing?

For heaven's sake, who
turns off the light?

What has happened?
- What is coming now?

You can't see anything at all.

What the hell are you doing up there, Sarah?

Turn that thing off, nobody said
that you should turn on the spot!

And get the fuck
down on the stage!

You completely missed the cue!

What the hell are you doing, Sarah?

What's wrong with her?

Hey princess, you're dressed
dressed wrong for the theater!

Wait a minute... Who's running the commercial?

There's no one behind it, is there?

Did you see that?

Mike, I'm going up to the box.
Maybe Sarah's...

Wait!

Simon?

Go down to the pier and call
Walsh, Inspector Walsh.

Tell him the curtain has risen.
He will understand.

And make sure that the stage and foyer doors
foyer doors are locked behind you.

Leave the stage and
go to the dressing rooms, go.

Ay, let them rot and decay.

She shall be damned today.
She shall no longer live.

Go ahead, shine the spotlight on him!

And then what? Who is that?

We are about to help someone
the tragedy of his life.

Oh, my heart has turned
into stone.

Your death shall leave
leave my hand corrupted.

In all the world there was no
creature as lovely as this one.

She was made to lie in
a ruler's bed,

to teach him the duty
of his office.

Ney! That is not your way.

Hang them!

I do, but tell me what it is.

So fine with the needle,
admirable in the music.

Oh, she can transform the ferocity of a bear
with song alone.

Her radiant eye full of
poetic power.

She's way too bad for all that!

I'll chop them into a thousand pieces!

Deceive me!
- Let them rot, Lord!

Where is my officer?
- Let it rot!

Give me the poison, Iago!

Give me the poison!

Give me the poison,
Iago! This very night!

I do not want to be right with a
woman who may confuse me,

with her beauty and
the magic of her body!

Still this night...

Don't do it with poison.

He strangles her, Lord, in her bed,
in that bed which she has defiled.

Good! Justice,
take your course, very good.

Come on, slaves, our
Performance, we are late.

And for Cassio let me be
be his gravedigger.

You shall know it
at midnight.

Excellent.

What is that trumpet sound?
- Probably news from Venice.

My entrance, later darling.

I'll come to your dressing room.

But careful.
- I am. I am.

It is Ludovico who comes from the Prince.
And see the woman at his side.

God greet you, honored general.

With all my heart, the Prince
and the senators greet you.

I am delighted by your graciousness.
- And what's the news, Ludovico?

I am pleased to see you
to see you too, Signor.

Welcome to Cyprus.

Thank you and how is
is Lieutenant Cassio?

He's alive, sir.

Cousin, something has come up
between him and my master.

A ridiculous quarrel.
You should settle it.

So you are sure of that?

My Lord?

I can't stop you
if you want to.

He said nothing, the
Writing is more important to him.

Is it serious
between him and Cassio?

It's a misunderstanding.

I would do many things to atone for the love
for the love I feel for Cassio.

Looks like we're gonna get
a clear night.

Yeah, give that to Robbie.

Okay, see you Charly.

Is there anything else
I can do for you, Sir Arnold?

How much of the ensemble is already gone?

Oh, most of them have
already gone, sir.

Except for Lady Gates, yourself
yourself and Mr. Mulligan.

The stage crew has already left, sir.

You can also go home. Give me
give me the keys, I'll lock up.

Well, I'm not actually allowed to....

Give me the keys!

Yes, Sir Arnold, of course.

Now go! Go!

Yes, sir.

Harry, let me be your slave.

Kick me, whip me.

Be as cruel as you like,
I will love you anyway.

Stand up and let me see if your
body can satisfy my lust.

Undress me if you
you want, my lord.

I knew it! I
knew it all the time!

You conniving whore!
- No, Arnold, no!

This night I will not
not be softened,

through this body and its beauty,
my mind shall not be confused.

That night, Iago!

Sneaky whore!

You will be punished!

Where are you taking me?

Please don't hurt me!

Let me put something on, I'm freezing!

No, you shall remain as naked..,
as in the arms of your lover.

Where are you taking me?

Knees, girl!

On your knees and pretend
Humility for your sins.

What do you want to do with me?

I will not cut up your sinful flesh, oh no.
flesh, oh no.

That would be far too quick, too painless.

Your lover and you should have time
to think about it,

how rejected and mean
you have been to me.

And be quiet while I go get him.

This will keep you together
for the rest of your lives.

Bound together by
the bonds of your lust.

Come along, child.

It was too good for them.

Too good for that whore,
whom I married.

And for him, young Mulligan.

They are all the same.
Young actors...

Filthy, down-and-out lechers.

All together!

And the women...

Give away their bodies and
offer their thighs and breasts.

Scum! Excrement!

I think now I should free them
from their prison.

In what this lust bitch and her lover

naked in each other's arms for all those long years.
arms of the other.

In the darkness, while
the sea roared beneath them.

For have I not
with the flesh and blood

these other sex obsessed devils

and obscene young lechers,

paid the price for
the freedom of that whore,

who called herself my Lady Gates?

But sullied my proud name,

in which she offered her sweet flesh
to Harry Mulligan.

My Cassio,

who took the liberty of cuckolding his
master to put on horns.

Can I be of any assistance to you, Sir Arnold?
I can help you with, Sir Arnold?

How much of the ensemble is already gone?

Almost all of them already, sir.

That just leaves Lady Gates,
Mr. Mulligan and yourself.

The stage crew has already left.

Then you can also go home.

Thank you, sir.

I will redeem you,
you living dead.

Corrupt, faithless creatures!

Oh my child...

What did your father do?

Oh, if these young eyes
would never have witnessed such an act.

Sir Arnold?

Or should I call you Mayor?

You're talking in riddles, man!

Shouldn't we leave the
Let's not do the role-playing, Gates?

And see if you can't
can help the police,

in the investigation of the
death of two people?

Whose identity was established with some
Difficulties was established,

as your wife Pamela Florence Gates

and an actor who has been identified
as Henry Terence Mulligan.

Their decomposed bodies were
discovered under this theater,

tied to each other.

Naked and dead.

My goodness...

This is really very amusing.

Isn't that right, Pamela?

They think you and
Harry Mulligan are dead.

I don't know who you are,
sir, but rest assured,

they were only locked up in this dark place
locked up, like naughty children.

Until their lustful
Greed has cooled down.

Oh, he's tired of her now
tired of her now, huh?

Do you know that they haven't spoken for 25 years?
years no longer speak to each other?

Imagine?

The fact is that I voluntarily gave up
exile in Africa for many years,

to live here in Eastcliff
live and be close.

So they could bring you flowers.

Yes...

And to see how she
got tired of him.

You know, I think
I'll take it up again.

Did you hear that?

I take you back and forgive you.

It wasn't your fault...

It was the most degenerate and
degrading about our profession.

The temptation of the flesh,
to which we are constantly exposed.

They turned you...

my beautiful wife...

into a faithless, lying,
dishonest, cursed whore!

Okay.

Sex-crazed devils and
obscene young lechers.

Are we?

It is what he hated, what he
he thought we had to be.

Theatre Group 40 was...
- Bell, of course. Arnold Gates.

An actor who had to kill actors in this
Theater had to kill actors.

He trapped us like wasps in a
in a jar.

Yes.

Only his wasps were
young actors,

who represented one in confusion,

who years ago had his pride
and dignity years ago

and destroyed his brilliant career
had destroyed: Harry Mulligan.

And Angela and John, Carol and Sarah....

were murdered by the madman,

to avenge his wife's cheating
with Mulligan, 1944.

It is so damn tragic and cruel,
that you'd have to make a movie out of it.

But something is not right.

Why not?

There's a mistake in the knitting pattern, isn't there?

When Carol died
is under the pier...

...was Bell in the foyer.

He asked me if he could
could see the sample.

A perfect alibi for Bell.

So, Carol, confused by
John's sadistic jokes....

...and through our
quarrels, went its own way.

And therefore jumps off the pier.

Unless someone else
someone else had discovered it,

what was hidden there under the stage.

And when he discovered it
he found Carol,

who was looking for a costume,
and had to kill her.

As protection for the Mayor.

So we have an accomplice.

Who?

His daughter.

The memory of her
father was that of a

stammering, black
made-up actor,

who carries a whimpering child
the cold streets,

to put it on the steps of the
police station.

Nice working with you guys.

Thank you, thank you for everything.

I need to find my father.

He will need me.
