I'm calling from Los Angeles.

I'd like to verify a check.

Your London branch.

The name of the company is Wiggins and Trumbull Development.

Yes, the account number is 129666.

$50 ,000.

Margaret Walsh.

Does that mean I can spend it?

Yes. Thank you. Thank you very much.

What'd they say?

I talked to the company in London, and they want us for the job.

They want us there on the 22nd.

What about the job? What job? I mean, did they say what we're going to be

building?

I don't know.

They said what they said in the letter.

An interior design.

And that we come highly recommended.

Highly recommended?

By who?

I don't know. They didn't say.

We get an offer for a job from somebody we don't even know.

They won't tell us anything about what it is we're going to be building.

And they give us an advance for $50 ,000.

And they didn't say anything.

They said to be there on the 22nd.

It's ten days till then.

Let's go over and enjoy it.

Honey, when I know what it is we're going to be doing, then maybe I'll enjoy

I think we ought to check it out some more. Why can't we check it out over

there?

I don't understand anything about this either, but I want to go to England.

It'd be so nice to get away.

So what are we going to do? We're just going to walk out here and leave it?

We'll get someone to water the plants and lock the door.

We could have so much fun.

We could go to the country, ride some horses, catch a fish.

There isn't going to be any sunshine over there.

Please come with me.

Okay.

Want some breakfast?

Sure.

To places I have never been.

But something seems to be slowly drawing me away.

And that's why come what may, I'm going back

to places I have never seen.

To feel the freedom of a sweet, clear, winter -colored day.

That stains with gold A love that never grows

cold While you're the hand that I hold

I'll face what is to be

I'm going back.

And last I'm sure.

I need you more than ever now.

And through the distance.

We'll see things in another life.

If we just raise our sights.

And look in.

Today, forever and beyond, together we will see

another side.

Six or seven.

Can you stand up?

Yes, I can. Come on in.

Wade's garage should fix it in no time, sir. Oh, it's fine, Harry.

Why don't you both come back to my house?

It's not very far. You can relax there and we can sort out your ghastly

transport problem.

Just leave this land here for somebody else to haul off?

Oh, my dear chap, the bike will be perfectly all right, I assure you. This

New York, you know.

We'll be all right.

Oh, no.

I couldn't leave you stranded here.

Why did you come back to my house for some tea?

Well, surely you could stop for tea.

In England, everything stops for tea.

What do you think?

This sure as hell isn't going to take us anywhere.

Well, let's have tea.

Oh,

by the way, my name is Jason Mountolive.

I'm Margaret Walsh, and this is Pete Danner.

How do you do?

Are you on holiday?

Well, yes and no.

We're here on business.

We decided to come out and look at some of your beautiful countryside.

You want to find out where English blood came from?

English blood? Good God.

You are killed by the locals. You're trouble.

I'll see to it, sir.

All right, Harry.

There's no need to worry about the bike. I assure you, Reg is a first -class

mechanic. Harry?

Oh, Reg, I've got a job for you.

Where? Down by the side of Gypsy Lane.

Can you do it?

What is it?

Ask no questions, get no lies, eh?

Now, Ratty.

All right.

That's taken care of, sir.

Right, Harry.

Thank you, Finch.

Afternoon, Mr. Manorly, sir. Afternoon, Jenkins.

This is all yours?

Yes.

This is your house?

There's a lot of cares here inside.

As a ghost, my dear old aunt used to appear stark naked on the balcony with

head under her arm.

Oh, no. Nevertheless, I want you to feel absolutely at home.

All right.

Are you all right?

Hmm? Oh, yes, yes. I'm fine, thanks.

Do go in. I'll join you in a minute.

Adams will take care of you.

He said to make ourselves absolutely at home.

Is that what he said?

Who are

we looking for?

Somebody named Adams.

Oh, yes, Adams.

It's craziness. Where in hell is everybody?

What do you think this guy does?

Whatever it is, he's doing it right.

Get out of here.

On what?

Oh, yeah.

How are your bones, Slim?

Careful.

Miss Walsh?

We were looking for someone named Adams.

Well, I'm Nurse Adams.

And you must be Mr... Danner.

Would you come up, please?

And bring your things with you.

Do you want some help?

No, I can handle it.

This is your room, Miss Walsh. We'll find something suitable for Mr. Danner.

Just a minute. There must be some mistake.

Yes. We're just staying for a cup of tea.

Oh, I was told your motorcycle was beyond repair.

No, it isn't.

We'll get it fixed.

In the meantime, we're going to rent a car.

Oh.

Well, you won't find one locally.

There's a garage in town.

Oh, Miss Walsh, you're not in Los Angeles now, you know. Hardly anyone in

parts has caused to hire a car.

But Mr. Mount Olive Chauffeur said he'd take you into the village tomorrow.

They'll look after you there.

Everything closes early at this time of year.

If this room isn't to your liking, we can find you another.

Rough it for the night.

Thank you. The room will be just fine for both of us.

I'm sure you'd like to rest after your accident.

You won't be disturbed.

Sweet lady.

She took it for granted we would be staying. Oh, Maggie.

Well, how do they know to have a fire burning?

Well, it is the middle of winter and it's cold outside.

Honey, what's the matter?

I'm just trying to get warm.

Come here, I'll get you warm.

She did say we wouldn't be disturbed, didn't she? Did she?

What's happening?

Looks like we're not the only guests.

Who is that out there?

Hello, handsome.

Another gift from Jason, darling.

When is the American due?

She's here already, sir. Already?

But she hasn't been up to see him yet, though.

I really wouldn't know, sir.

And who is the handsome young man?

Apparently, he is the young lady's friend, madam.

He came with her?

Bad luck for Maria.

Did Mr.

Jackson arrive yet?

No, madam, not yet.

This is too much What are we doing here?

I don't know I'm gonna take a shower Just save me some hot water

Pete,

what happened?

The goddamn English plumbing. That's what happened. Watch out for the glass.

Well, you're back.

Honey, it's all right. Get off the glass.

I'm going to go downstairs and get something.

Maggie, just forget about it. Just relax, will you? You relax, too.

Now, as you all know, Mr. Mount Olive... Excuse me.

Can I help you, ma 'am?

I was looking for some antiseptic.

We've had an accident in the shower, and Peter's cut himself.

Oh, dear.

No sadness will help you.

The shower door's been broken also.

I'm terribly sorry.

That's all right. I'll send a maid to clear up.

Can you manage?

Yes, thank you.

Mind, there you go, now.

Yes.

As I was saying, Mr. Mount Olive is fading fast.

We won't be seeing him much more.

But I know you will be very patient.

And I know I can rely on you.

Well, who's going to be the master of the house?

Excuse me, I was looking for a telephone.

You've come to the right place.

How do you do?

Pete Danner. Jacques Grande.

My pleasure.

Saw you come in on a helicopter this afternoon. Oh, yes, I saw you too.

The trip was, as usual, uneventful.

Is

this

Wade's garage?

Yeah, Reg?

Who's that? Pete Danner.

Pete what?

Danner.

The smashed -up triumph.

Jason Mount Olive brought us in.

How's it looking?

Damn.

Look, uh, I wonder if maybe you can rent me a car.

Mm -hmm.

And will we see what you can do?

Okay, and call me back at Mount Olive's house, will you? Right.

Okay,

thanks. Cheers.

You are in the hands of a very primitive people.

Life in the country.

I trust Mr. Danner has recovered, Miss Walsh? Yes.

Ah, good.

I was just looking around.

The Mount Olive have lived here a long time.

Yes, they have a long history of survival at Bradenshurst.

What a good likeness.

Yes.

Mr. Mandolov was a very striking person.

Was?

We'll be serving drinks shortly if you'd like to join us.

Thank you.

Is that her?

You should concentrate.

You are going to lose.

I never lose, my friend.

Nor do I, my friend.

Where's that blonde lady that came in with you this afternoon?

Maria is in her pool.

Her pool.

Where else?

Jason is a very generous man.

He must be.

Shall I take your things, sir?

Where is everyone?

I imagine they're in the great altar, having a drink.

Hey, now.

Things are looking up at Jason's.

Well, hooray for Hollywood.

Hi, Maggie. I'm Clive. Hi.

I was just trying to get up my nerve to go meet everybody.

Well, come on, then. I'll hold your hand.

How did you know my name?

Harry told me about your accident.

Are you okay now?

Oh, yes.

Mr. Mount Olive picked us up.

Did he now?

I'll take the things up to your usual room, sir.

Come on, Maggie. Come and eat the rest of the pack.

Ta -da!

And now, folks, for my next guest... Well, well, well.

The six unite at last.

Miss Walsh. Hi, Jack. Clive, how nice to see you. Barbara.

Hello.

Enchanté, mademoiselle.

Hello. They're okay, really.

Almost human.

Where is Mr.

Mount Olive?

He is upstairs, of course.

Oh.

Actually, I am very pleased to meet you. We have all been looking forward to

this so very much.

Yes, I am.

Tell me about this awful crash.

Oh, it wasn't that bad. We just lost the motorcycle.

Let me introduce you. All right. Be right back.

In New York or in... Excuse me. Los Angeles.

Now I see why Mount Olive built you the pool.

Thank you.

Coming in?

Maybe later.

You didn't happen to see somebody come through here, did you?

No.

Soon it is dinner, no?

Yeah, pretty soon. You got time. Put in some more.

taking a break yeah what are you doing just browsing

I wondered where you had got to.

I was watching Maria swim.

She's fabulous.

You know, I've been thinking.

Perhaps we could find a moment or two this weekend to have a

business chat.

Certainly. Are you looking for an architect?

If you stay at any deluxe hotel anywhere on the Mediterranean, you can be sure

it belongs to Jacques.

Are you all in the hotel business?

God, no.

Can you really imagine Carl in the hotel business?

The man who was decorated by Hitler three days before the end of the last

War and now runs an industrial complex making weapons and praying for the next

World War to break out?

Clive has never forgiven us for losing the war but winning the peace.

And Barbara, whose family lost everything when the Russians overran

Germany. She came here a poor little East German refugee.

But, you know how it is with a little help from your friend and mine. She now

owns the largest publishing empire in Europe.

And Maria Gabrielli, she started romantically in the slums of Naples and

up the most prominent hostess in Rome.

And a championship swimmer. So you see, we have all achieved

our greatest ambition.

All except Clive.

He wanted to be an English gentleman.

Where did you end up?

I'm in the music business.

In Europe, he is the music business.

Where does Jason Mount Olive fit in?

Well, the five of us owe Jason everything.

And in return, we run his businesses.

When he calls us, we come.

As you did.

But we just met him today.

Yes, now that you are here, we are six.

You know what that means?

The six?

What does it mean, the six what?

Carl, cook for me.

There's been an accident.

She must have hit her head on the bottom.

Don't be stupid. She was a villain's daughter.

So what do you think happened since you're so clever? Wait now. Let's get

there.

Is she dead?

Did she hit her head?

Honey, there was not a mark on her.

Mr. Mountroly would like to see you.

Only Miss Walsh.

Oh, now, come on.

He was most particular, Miss Walsh.

It'll only be a few minutes.

upstairs i'll thank him i'll say goodbye we can leave in the morning

You said Mr.

Mount Olive wanted to see me.

Would you sit down?

Good evening, Margaret.

Please make yourself comfortable.

Relax. You're pulling on that thing so hard, your fingers swollen.

Come on, just relax.

I know they are. That's why we're going to get out of here right now.

I'll go call for a car, and I promise you we'll leave.

Honey, just relax.

I'll be right back.

You did see Jason, didn't you?

What do you think?

And did he talk about the American girl?

Oh, yes.

He repeated what he had told us, that the six of us would inherit, and now

Maria is dead, the five of us will.

Maria was murdered.

Oh, the idea is absurd.

It was no accident.

The only possible motive for murder would be money.

And who among us needs that?

What about power?

I don't know what you mean.

Jason's power.

Pete?

Get it out.

try later.

Okay. Well, it's no deal.

Couldn't even get an outside line.

So get a good night's sleep and go first thing in the morning.

You said you saw Jace from last night.

But you didn't, did you?

And you said?

You'll never lose.

I don't.

All right, let's get out of here.

Oh, I'm afraid that's not possible now.

The police have forbidden anyone to go.

The police?

They took Miss Gabrielli's body away early this morning.

They particularly wanted to speak to you. After all, you were the last ones

see her alive.

Yeah, well, if they want to talk to us, they can see us in town.

They're coming back to investigate fully.

You are legally obliged to stay.

I guess she's right.

Maggie, did you see the police here this morning?

No. Neither did I.

I'll see if I can get Harry to take us into town.

Ah.

The uninvited guest.

Uh -huh.

So, Harry.

Sir. You're ready now. We'd like to go into town this morning.

Ready to go when you want, sir.

Right.

Tell me, what's really wrong with Mr. Mount Olive?

Mr. Mount Olive's sick, sir.

He didn't look sick yesterday.

Well, actually, Mr. Mount Olive's dying, sir.

Dying? Yes, sir.

My

God,

that was close, sir.

Carl, it must have slipped from your grasp. Mr. Devon, we are so sorry.

please accept our apologies. Carl is not very good.

If you've got a stick to throw in darts, we'll be right out.

Maggie!

You know,

you're getting to be a real pain in the ass.

We're never going to get out of here.

Oh, yes, we are.

All right.

What's going on?

Come on!

Now all we got to do is find the garage.

Let's go. Let's go.

Oh, no.

Looks like they're really working on it, doesn't it?

Look what I see.

Go on.

Pete, it's right in your eye. Damn, it's all right. Come on, you draft.

That's a speedy little exit.

Well, what do you expect when you're stealing a car?

Better stand on your own side of the road, Slim.

That's how we got into this mess in the first place, isn't it? Get over there,

will you?

What is this?

It's all right. We're just working on the road. The light's green. Take it

Watch out for that truck. What is this?

I've got to get on the right side of the road. I mean the left side of the road.

Why don't you pull over and let me drive?

I thought you said I could handle it.

I'm handling it, Otto.

What's wrong?

This is starting to look familiar.

I got a feeling we're on the wrong road.

The same road.

We took the wrong road.

What are you doing, honey? Are we going to stop for tea? Come on, let's go.

Well?

It all looks the same, doesn't it?

I don't know.

Mm -hmm.

I don't believe it. I don't

believe it!

hopeless. Honey, it isn't hopeless. We just got to get on the right road.

You drive.

All right, slide over.

God. Maggie?

What are you doing?

Hey, what is the matter with you?

You said you wanted to get out of there.

So we go through all that shit to get out of here, now you're gonna turn

and go back?

No deal.

I know nothing works in this stinking country.

Are you going to talk to me? We're never going to... Miss Walsh,

dinner will be at eight if you'd like to join us.

I don't know.

Hey,

I want to know why you came back in here.

Because we can't stand around outside.

It's that woman, Brown.

But I'd like to think, what did that mean?

Jason's will.

This ring I can't get off.

Look okay.

Now just tell me. Just talk to me.

What if it's some kind of black magic?

Maybe that's why I came back.

You know, Maggie, this... Unbelievable.

Where have you been all day?

Oh, just driving around.

I thought since you didn't bring anything formal, you might like to

dress for dinner.

That's very nice of you. Oh, nothing.

Pick one.

Would you answer a question?

I might ask the question.

What was the ceremony upstairs?

The six who wear the ring are all beholden to Jason.

I'm not.

You must be.

What brought you here?

Work. A job.

Who gave you the job?

You know, Barbara, this is really a lot of bull.

Nobody brought me here.

You're right.

No one expected you.

I have known Jason for 25 years.

I love him deeply.

And I trust him totally.

Jason will give you such wealth.

He will fulfill every whim, every fancy, every dream.

He's a wonderful, wonderful man.

When he gives you gifts, I tell you, accept them.

Enjoy them.

Yes, that's very nice.

That's Margaret Falsinger. Oh, so you're seeing the painting, too. Oh, there she

is. Nice.

It's lovely.

You are looking very elegant.

Thank you.

When are you leaving?

Tomorrow, early.

Of course.

Sir? Maggie, could you give me some hand, please?

Any chicken, sir?

No, thank you.

Chicken, madam.

No, thank you.

The conversation we were having last evening.

Oh, yes.

May we continue?

But of course.

I want to know... I don't know how to...

I want to know if you're involved in Black Magic, the occult.

If you'd like to call it that, yes.

So are you, dearie.

Don't look like that.

It's just another way of life.

I mean, we don't ride around on broomsticks or anything.

We've got helicopters, Rolls Royces.

It's quite nice, really.

Excuse me.

Clive likes to treat everything with the same shell of humour.

I must tell you, it is a serious matter.

The power is not granted indiscriminately.

Oh,

Jack's so pompous.

Forget it and enjoy it.

Here's where it's at.

The old boy's going to die.

We're here to bury him.

Ta -da.

Let me get you some water.

This time I want to talk to them.

It was a bone.

He'd only got a second to live.

Are you going to call the police or do you want me to?

Mr. Denner, why don't you go to your room? You're very overwrought.

I'll take care of everything.

I'd say you'd already taken care of everything.

Isn't she beautiful?

I never saw her before last night.

Do you admire the ring on her finger?

She was born here.

When she was your age, she was dragged from the house and burned at the stake

by orders of Queen Elizabeth.

The first.

Margaret Balsingham.

She was defeated by her illegitimate son.

His name was Jason Mount Olive.

In a ceremony, very much like last night's, her little Jason inherited

all her wealth.

and all her power.

It has been in the family ever since.

No chicken?

No.

You choked on a chicken bone. No.

I, Margaret Walsingham, do bear witness in this wise.

Take whatever thou desirest, sayeth...

Sayeth

the Lord Satan.

For thou shalt be my welcome debtor, and thou shalt pay thy debts to me in later

times. For I shall proceed to my service in the halls of darkness.

And when my six seal bearers shall be assembled on my last days,

I shall select one among them to carry my soul

forward.

Carl, thanks for the reincarnation of this Margaret Walsingham.

I don't understand.

Carl?

He was here just a minute ago. Well, maybe he went out the window.

Come here.

There.

Frankie, you've got to be kidding me.

I can't believe it.

I mean, that poor bastard is laying upstairs with his throat torn open, and

they've got you running around down here trying to figure out where you came

from.

Honey, I gotta admit, they've gone to an awful lot of trouble to try to make you

believe this whole thing.

But this is too much. Look at that thing. It's laughable.

Is there anything you require before bed, Miss Walsh?

Yes.

Where's Carl? He was here just a minute ago.

Oh, he had urgent business in Munich.

Well, he sure as hell didn't go out that door.

Hey, I want to talk to you.

Yeah boy.

I mean, I guess it was him. It had to be him.

They cooked him.

They cooked him and fed him to those dogs.

Carl.

Carl.

Carl.

What's this?

Carl was acquitted of arson 13 years ago. A man died in the fire.

Maria.

Maria drowned, right?

She was a madam. One of her call girls drowned in some guy's pool.

Clive gave one of his musicians some pills and the guy choked to death on

Barbara.

You see, the punishment fits the... Crime. Jason bought their lives.

There's nothing on Jacques right now.

There's nothing on Jacques. There's nothing on him.

There's nothing on me either.

All right, then it's got to be Jacques.

Come on.

Where?

Maggie, we've got to find Barbara.

I don't want to go.

Barbara. What do you want?

Barbara. What time is it?

I've got to talk to you. What, now?

Something terrible has happened.

All right.

Let's say you're right and it did suck.

Now, how would he kill Carl and Clive and Maria?

All of them?

And for what?

For money?

Who needs money?

Look, I hate to keep pushing, but we've been standing around here long enough.

Ah, yes.

Give me the chauffeur.

I wish to leave.

At once.

Let's go.

Barbara, we'll wait for you downstairs.

Want a drink?

Be right back.

Oh!

Honey?

Oh, Maggie.

I was the last one to see her.

I was the last one to see Carl.

And the last to see Maria.

And the last to see Carl.

I'll be back

Ah!

You see, it is me.

Maggie?

Yes.

Chuck is dead.

I know.

Chuck thought you were the killer.

It was me.

Now you find six souls, and when you're dying, kill

five, and the sixth will inherit Satan's power.

It's all over now.

Please.

Adam's gone.

There's nothing to worry about.

Good morning.

Good morning, Lady Margaret.

Good morning, Adam.

Let's go outside.

Yes.

Thank you, Adams.

Very well done Am

I
