- I met Andrea in Italy
during a vacation.

I never thought that I could fall in
love with a man in such a short time.

We got
married today.

I will always remember
it as a joyful day.

Andrea told me a lot about his villa
to which he had not returned in years.

That's where we are
going now. Together.

I feel that a new life is
about to begin for me,

much different from the one I have spent
so far in my quiet little town in Oregon.

This thought causes me some
anxiety, but I am sure it will pass soon.

- Here we are,
this is the place.

Let's go.

I hope that
you'll like it.

Well, do
you like it?

Let's go.

What is it?

Oh, it's
you, Giovanni.

Where were you?
- My apologies, sir.

Poor Michele
died today.

I had no idea
how to let you know.

- I understand, Giovanni. Go get our
luggage from the car and take it upstairs.

I'm sorry,
my dear.

This was certainly not the
welcome I wished for you.

Unfortunately, death is
an unpredictable occurrence.

- Who's that man?

- Giovanni, the gardener.

He is the
only servant Ieft.

You must
be tired.

Try to get some rest,
tomorrow will be another day.

Goodnight.
- What are you trying to say?

You're not going
to leave me alone.

- Amanda, I cannot
do otherwise.

Michele was much
more than a servant to me.

He lived in this house for fifty years.
- Yes, but...

- He witnessed
my birth.

He loved me dearly,
and I loved him too.

Goodnight,
my dear.

- But...

This place really
needs a woman's touch.

There will be a lot of work to
do to make the villa presentable.

Will we be able to
hire another servant?

- Finding servants nowadays
is next to impossible.

- Well, we
could still try.

Don't you think?
- Yes.

Giovanni seems
rather old.

How old is he?
- I don't know.

He was already old and
working here when I was born.

- Let's go back inside, I feel a bit cold.
- All right.

- Andrea!

Andrea!

- Oh, good morning.

These are flowers from the garden, the
master asked me to pick them for you.

- Thank you.

And where he is now?
- In his studio.

- All right.

Thanks for the flowers.
- Which flowers?

- Come here.

What's the
matter, Andrea?

Why don't
you tell me?

Do you think I
can't understand you?

That's how you
underestimate me?

- I can't give you
an explanation.

I can't even
give one to myself.

I love you,
I desire you,

yet there are times when I am
seized by a sort of irrational terror.

It's not
easy to explain.

Perhaps it's a
sense of guilt.

It seems like I were contaminating you
with some unholy thing I carry inside me.

There's something huge
weighing on my conscience,

but I don't
know what it is.

- Be calm, dear, don't create
nonexistent problems for yourself.

I am your wife, I
will be there with you.

I'm going
to help you.

It's just a
temporary crisis.

Everything will
go back to normal.

Our love is the only
thing that matters.

- I'm grateful for you,
I'm so very grateful.

- Bye.

- Forgive me, Amanda, but...
- Tell me.

- For a few nights I would
like to stay here in my study.

I have to get through
this alone, this crisis.

Try to
understand me.

- I understand you.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

- I'd like to buy some groceries.
- Are you new around here?

- I'm Mrs. Orsomandi.
- What do you need?

- Plenty of things,
here's the list.

Can you have it
all put in my car?

- Mrs. Orsomandi-Holbrook.
Are you American?

- Yes, why?
Do you know me?

- Only by hearsay.
I'm also an American.

- It's strange to find an
American around here.

How did
you end up here?

- I guess just by
chance. What about you?

- Marital reasons.

- On the contrary, I'm here
for professional reasons.

- My name is Peter Clark.
- I'm Amanda.

- What is it you deal with?
- Anthropology.

- Well, I have to go
now. Have a nice day.

- Goodbye, I hope
to see you again.

- You scared me.

- Hiya, handsome.
Shall we go?

No need for an
introduction, huh?

Whatever. What
are people gonna say?

- Good morning,
Mrs. Orsomandi.

- Good morning,
how do you do?

Please, come in.

This is my house.
- Oh, I know all about it.

- Really?

- Yes, it's part of a research
project I'm working on.

- What kind of
research project?

- Oh, it would take
too long to explain.

I'm doing some studies
into ancient legends.

- I don't believe in legends.
- That's your point of view.

Legends are
also born of man.

In some way, they
have their own substance.

- I'm not very schooled in such
things, but it's definitely interesting.

- We'll have another chance to discuss it.
- Surely.

- Well, now I have
to leave Amanda.

May I address you like so?
- Of course.

- Then goodbye Amanda.

- Goodbye.
- See you soon.

- Ma'am...

Ma'am, please listen, I...
- What's wrong, Giovanni?

- You must not talk
to that man, ma'am.

- Are you going
to forbid me perhaps?

- Oh I apologize, ma'am.
Please, don't get me wrong.

You must stay
away from that man.

Listen to the advice
of this poor old man.

- When I need your
advice I will let you know.

- Is that
you, ma'am?

I heard a noise, I
couldn't imagine that perhaps...

You never know...

- What's that?

- Oh, you mean
the knife, ma'am?

It's covered in blood.
- Blood?

- How do you think one slits
a rabbit's throat, ma'am?

- Why are you staying in the
dark even, even during the day?

- I'm an
old man.

When I enter the house, the
darkness keeps my eyes resting.

Until today, my masters never honored
me with their presence here in my house.

- Please excuse me.

- Hello?

Is that
you, Rachele?

Yes, the
coast is clear.

There aren't
any strangers.

There was only
Michele, the butler.

But he was very old
and I helped him die.

Yes, but you have
to come here at once.

It's unfortunately
very dangerous.

Yes, Amanda has
met that person.

Yes, they meet and
talk to each other.

Yes, come here
as soon as you can.

- Good
morning, Amanda.

May I offer a cup of
coffee to a fellow American?

- Yes, thank
you, with pleasure.

- Two
coffees, please.

Well, how's
everything going?

- Well... I've been feeling
a little nervous lately.

The lifestyle and mentality
are different around here.

- Well, it must be said that your
world is rather limited right now.

VVhatabout
yourhusband?

- My husband, well my
husband is always so busy.

He's also got
his own problems.

- I see.

- Thanks.

Why don't you come
visit us some time?

I'd like you
to meet him.

- I'd really
love to.

Perhaps my presence
would not be appreciated.

- How can
you say that?

- Maybe I know this area better than
you do, even if you are part of it now.

I am doing research on some ancient
Iocal lineages, including your husband's.

- Well, that's plenty
reason to pay us a visit.

- Plenty of a reason to
carefully keep away from there.

These families are more jealous of
their past than they are of their present.

- You know, our dear
Giovanni is a bit ridiculous.

- Why?

- Well I've been meaning
to tell you for a few days.

I met somebody at
the grocery store and...

Hello?

Oh, finally!
What a surprise!

I thought you
had vanished!

I'm fine,
and you?

But of course,
with great pleasure.

We'll be waiting
for your visit, certainly.

I have so many things to tell
you, and that includes a surprise.

No, I'll tell you
when we meet.

All right,
see you soon.

Bye-bye.

- Who was it?

- Rachele.

They'll be
visiting us soon.

Are you
up for it?

- I don't want
anyone in this house.

No one.
Is that clear?

- But Rachele and her
husband are your friends.

You introduced
them to me.

Anyway, you'll have to get used
to a new presence in our house.

- What are
you saying?

- It's simple.
I'm pregnant.

- Hello?

No. Who are
you looking for?

Nobody's here.

I'm telling you
there's nobody else...

- Who's on
the phone?

-IdonT
know, ma'am.

Awrong caller, I
guess, and I don't...

- Hello?
Who's speaking?

Oh, it's
you, Mr. Clark.

Well, I'll
explain later.

Why don't you come here?
We could have a drink.

Chat a little...

Well, if Muhammad
doesn't go to the mountain,

the mountain
goes to Muhammad.

See you at our
usual place, then.

Yes, thanks
for the call.

I'm sorry for the
misunderstanding. Bye.

First of all, I don't want you
to listen to my phone calls.

Remember. That I won't put up with
you being improper with my friends.

Under no
circumnstances.

You can
go now.

-ShaHI
hopin?

Now what are you into?
You're one of few words, huh?

No, wait...

What are you
doing? Wait!

Wait...

I'm good...

I'll do anything
you want. Anything!

Wait! Look, you
want me to undress?

Wait, look...

Don't you
like me?

Tell me what you want
me to do. What about this?

Maybe this?

Tell me...

No...

No...

Do you want me
to do this to you?

No...

Oh god...

God...

- In the name of the
Father, the Son...

and the
Holy Spirit.

- Amanda,
good morning.

Have a seat.

Care for like a coffee?
- Yes, thanks.

- Two coffees,
Mario, please.

Well, how's
it going?

- I'm sorry if I keep
coming here to bother you.

- Don't worry about it.
Is something wrong?

- I don't know.

Maybe I'm struggling
to adjust to this life.

Maybe I'm
just too nervous.

I'm expecting a baby.
- That's great news.

- Great news, yes.

I'm very happy.

Why don't you come over? Then I'll
have a chance to offer you a cup of coffee.

- Well, maybe it's just
a matter of laziness.

I spend my time in this
seedy yet peaceful place.

As a pastime I follow the movements
of the girls working the truckers.

By the way, another one
has disappeared, Gianna.

- I've heard those girls
move places regularly.

Aren't you worrying a bit
too much about those girls?

- No, no, it's just
to distract myself.

- Is that
a good book?

- Well, it's
a study book.

I'm doing some
very interesting research.

You might be able to help me, actually.
- Me? In what way?

- You once told me that
you don't believe in legends,

but sometimes one finds that legends
are but chronicles of times long past.

In the history
of your family

there was the influence
of a certain woman.

The kind of woman who, in the
past, was referred to as a witch.

- Come on now,
Peter, please.

- No, no, have
a little patience.

These witches
were creatures who,

as was commonly said,
made a pact with the devil.

- Listen, they don't appear
in the century we are living in.

Our countrymen have already
taken long walks on the moon.

- The existence of the devil
has recently been confirmed

by someone far more
an authority than me.

If we take Satan's existence
for granted, we will realize...

that it possesses great
power, nefarious but immense.

I'll tell you another
story, bear with me.

Feel free to take it as a
fable, but please listen to me.

In the
late 14005,

there Iived an ancestor of
your husband, a certain Marco.

This Marco had
fallen in love with a girl,

who was rumored to have
made a pact with the devil.

One day, this girl found
out she was pregnant.

Marco tried hard to convince
her to get rid of that unwanted heir.

Alas, she refused.

Marco did everything he could
to prove to an ecclesiastical court

that the woman hadn't
just induced him to do evil,

using her perverse
arts of seduction.

He convinced them that she
was dedicated to occult practices

procured by means
of direct contact with Satan.

The girl was condemned for
witchcraft and then burned alive,

along with the product of
her guilt she bore in her womb.

The ultimate proof against her was the
discovery, on the back of her left hand,

of a birthmark of
sorts, a small triangle.

According to the tradition
passed on to us,

it seems that the girl, as the flames
burned, uttered a terrible invocation.

- And what would this
invocation consist of?

- The last part, perhaps the most
wicked one, is still unknown to me.

However, what I have deciphered
thus far effectively says that,

for seven generations, the
descendents of Marco Orsomandi

will be haunted by a
terrible sense of guilt.

That their every relationship of love
will be polluted by the shadow of sin.

- So you think that my husband...
- He belongs to the seventh generation.

- And you're asking me
to believe this rubbish?

- No, I told you to take
this story as a fairy tale.

- It isn't very funny.
- I'm sorry.

I thought it was a
fairy tale worth telling.

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

- Oh what a
beautiful cake!

- Happy birthday!

- Blow out
all the candles!

- Happy birthday, Amanda.
- Blow out the candles!

- Come on,
do it!

- Keep trying!

- Good show!
- Happy birthday!

- I wish you
much happiness!

I'm so happy for you.
- Happy birthday.

- Happy birthday, Amanda!
- Time for a toast!

- Let's hope for a
beautiful baby boy!

- Fabio?
- Just a sip, thanks.

- To the sweetest
mommy in the world.

- Amanda,
what's wrong?

What's wrong?

How do
you feel?

Where's the pain?

- What happened?

- She's feeling
sick, call a doctor.

- That won't be necessary,
she only needs to calm down.

These are quick
passing crises.

- It's nothing
serious, really.

Leave us alone.
- I want a doctor!

- I'll stay with Amanda,
this is women's business!

- Take me
to the hospital!

- Please Andrea,
leave us alone.

- I want
a doctor...

- It's nothing, don't worry,
you'll feel better soon.

- Try to
stay calm.

Amanda, I'm
here to help you.

- A doctor...

Take me to
the hospital...

To the hospital...

I want
a doctor...

- Lie down.

You're going to
feel better now.

Now calm down.

Try to get
some sleep.

- Giovanni,
where's my husband?

- The master
has already left.

- Yes, hello?

I would like to talk
to Mr. Peter Clark.

Yes, all
right, I'll hold.

Hello, Peter?

Yes, it's
me, Amanda.

No, I'm afraid I'm
not doing that well.

I don't quite understand
what's wrong with me.

I, I'm feeling
quite sick.

Listen, Peter, why
don't you come visit me?

No, no, my
husband is not here.

Maybe you'll be
able to help me.

Please,
come at once.

All right?

Then I'll
be waiting.

- Who are you looking for?
What do you want? Who are you?

- I'm here for Mrs.
Amanda Orsomandi.

- There's no one
here, they all left!

- I know perfectly well that
she's home, so just let me in.

- I told you they
all left, go away!

- Giovanni!

- Let him in
immediately.

I don't know, maybe
I'm just acting silly.

But sometimes I am
plagued by strange fears.

I'm not worried about
me, but for the baby.

I don't want
to lose the baby.

I don't even know
why I called you.

I'm so sorry,
I'm really in shock.

- In any case, dear Amanda,
calling me was a good idea.

- Thank you, Peter, maybe
you're the only friend I have.

- I'd like to talk to a doctor,
don't you think it's my right?

- It shouldn't be too
hard to find a doctor.

- No, but everyone here seems
to prevent me from doing so.

My husband
doesn't seem to care.

- Amanda!

I told you not
to get out of bed.

You felt sick, remember
what condition you are in.

- If she feels sick, it would
be advisable to call a doctor.

- I don't think we need any
advice, especially from strangers.

- Mr. Clark is
a friend of mine.

- Amanda, dear, we're
all very fond of you.

And we want to take
care of your needs.

You must be careful not
to do anything reckless.

Darling, you need
rest and quiet.

I don't think the intrusion of a
stranger will help you get any rest.

- I must leave
now, Amanda.

Anyway, you know
where you can find me.

- Mr. Andrea
is out, isn't he?

- Yes, he said he
was going into town

to buy newspapers and
have a drink with some friends.

- And the lady?
- She's resting in her bedroom.

- We're alone, then.

- Yes,
we are alone.

We are alone.

- What's going on?

What happened?

Did she feel sick again?
- Yes.

- Tell us what's
wrong, dear.

- Andrea,
I'm so afraid.

That coffin,
that dead man...

It was...

It was so
frightening.

What did they
want from me?

- It was only
a nightmare.

- But dear, you need rest,
plenty of rest and quiet.

You're just
exhausted.

- Thank you.

Thanks for
everything.

Now go
get some rest.

I'll take
care of her.

Try to get
some sleep.

I will stay here
by your side.

- Yes, Andrea.
You seem so distant.

As if you
were a stranger.

I wish we could talk more, to
understand each other better.

I feel you are so absent
and I don't even know why.

Andrea,
I love you.

- For heaven's sake,
Amanda, I love you too.

You are the only hope I
have left to free myself.

- Free yourself from what?
- From myself, perhaps.

I need you.

- And our child? Do
you care about him?

- Are you sure about
having this baby?

- What do
you mean?

- I'm just scared.

- Scared of what?

- Of losing you.

- Darling!

How are you
doing today?

Don't wear her out
too much, Andrea.

- You must feel very proud about becoming
the father of a beautiful baby boy, huh?

- It's not certain that
the baby will be a boy.

- Oh it will be,
I'm sure of it.

I hope you will allow
him to call me uncle.

- Of course.
- You have nothing to worry about, dear.

We will support you
until the happy day.

- I have researched the oldest
volumes in my library, to no avail.

- Unfortunately, your toil was completely
useless; I already knew about these books.

- I'm sorry, but what else can I do?
- Try digging deep into your memories.

What's this?

- It looks to me like a
cadastral map of these lands.

- Are these the boundaries
of your property?

- Yes, the family coat of
arms marks the boundaries.

- So this church is outside
the boundaries, right?

- That must
be Malepartus.

- What does
that mean?

- When I was a child, I was
very drawn to this church's ruins,

which had been
deconsecrated centuries ago.

The locals avoid the place,
and they call it Malepartus.

One day my father found out that I had
gone there, he became absolutely furious.

It seems that the remains
of a heretic are buried there.

- A heretic
or a witch?

Are you willing to
take me to that church?

- Exhuma
tenebris Ahriman

et servus
tuis vem inice.

- I absolve
you of your sins.

In the name of the Father,
the Son and the Holy Spirit.

- They couldn't have buried her here.
- Where, then?

- She's more likely buried
outside, in unconsecrated ground.

- What's the matter?
Let's move it now!

It's her!

- My god...

- "The son
of Satan,

killed by
mankind,

will yet be reborn
by the son of the man

inthe
eighth generation

in the damned lineage
of Marco Orsomandi."

- The eight
generation...

So that means
that my son...

That Amanda...

- Hurry, we've got to
get away from here!

Let's get away!

- It's monstrous,

inhuman.

- Satan leaves
no room for mercy.

- I can't allow Amanda to
give birth to that monster!

I must destroy it
before it sees light.

- But how?

- Even if
they both die.

- Doesn't it seem to you that
you've killed enough already?

- They were
prostitutes!

- That I did to
rid the world of sin.

They were nothing
but soulless beasts.

- Christ did not need to kill to
redeem Magdalene from sin.

- But the Church
did, father!

For centuries and centuries the Church has
smothered heresy and sin in fire and blood.

- Those were only men,
killing in the name of God.

They were invested with a God-given
mandate, and were therefore infallible.

- Everyone can
make mistakes.

My faith is enough
to sustain myself.

And this faith orders
me to fight Satan.

Not to kill.

Satan is not invincible, and I will force
him to leave the body in which he's hiding.

- Are you so unwaveringly
certain of your faith?

- Yes, otherwise my life
would be meaningless.

I'm going to
win this battle.

With the
help of God.

- They have just
entered the house.

They'll soon
be beside her.

- Don't be afraid,
I'm here to help you.

- I don't need
any help! Go away!

No! Don't
touch me!

Don't touch me!

Andrea!

Andrea...

- Do what
he says.

- Have you
all gone mad?!

What do you want
from me? What?!

- Damned,
filthy priest.

- Damned,
filthy priest.

- Damned,
filthy priest.

- Trust him.

He's the only being in the
whole world who can help us.

-IdonT
believe you!

IdonT
believe you!

It's a lie!

W-what...

What are you
going to do to me?

- This is the
body of Christ.

Help us,
0 Lord.

Open your mouth.

My Lord, my Lord, why
have you forsaken me?

- Where are you running to, Father?
You seem to have the devil at your heels!

- Leave her alone!

Don't touch her!
Don't touch her!

- It's too
late, Andrea!

- Amanda...

Forgive me.

I must kill you.
- No!

- Come on, we're
taking you back to bed.

Be brave, everything will
be all right. Don't be afraid.

- Have a good
trip, and take care.

- It's a big
responsibility.

- Don't worry.

Thanks for everything.
- Have a safe trip.

In America, there was a real
need for such a beautiful child.
