1
00:01:46,189 --> 00:01:48,817
<i>They call them
“the haunted shores”...</i>

2
00:01:48,942 --> 00:01:51,445
<i>these stretches of Devonshire
and Cornwall and Ireland...</i>

3
00:01:51,612 --> 00:01:54,281
<i>which rear up
against the westward ocean.</i>

4
00:01:54,448 --> 00:01:57,159
<i>Mists gather here,
and sea fog...</i>

5
00:01:57,284 --> 00:01:59,286
<i>and eerie stories.</i>

6
00:01:59,411 --> 00:02:03,332
<i>That's not because there are more
ghosts here than in other places, mind you.</i>

7
00:02:03,457 --> 00:02:05,667
<i>It's just that people
who live hereabouts...</i>

8
00:02:05,792 --> 00:02:08,128
<i>are strangely aware of them.</i>

9
00:02:08,253 --> 00:02:11,465
<i>You see, day and night,
year in, year out...</i>

10
00:02:11,590 --> 00:02:14,801
<i>they listen to the pound
and stir of the waves.</i>

11
00:02:14,926 --> 00:02:17,721
<i>There's life and death
in that restless sound...</i>

12
00:02:17,846 --> 00:02:20,223
<i>and eternity too.</i>

13
00:02:20,349 --> 00:02:23,935
<i>If you listen to it long enough,
all your senses are sharpened.</i>

14
00:02:24,061 --> 00:02:26,438
<i>You come
by strange instincts.</i>

15
00:02:26,563 --> 00:02:28,482
<i>You get to recognize
a peculiar cold...</i>

16
00:02:28,649 --> 00:02:30,567
<i>which is the first warning —</i>

17
00:02:30,692 --> 00:02:34,363
<i>a cold which is no mere matter
of degrees Fahrenheit...</i>

18
00:02:34,488 --> 00:02:38,659
<i>but a draining of warmth
from the vital centers of the living.</i>

19
00:02:38,825 --> 00:02:41,161
<i>Local people tell me
they would have felt it...</i>

20
00:02:41,328 --> 00:02:43,288
<i>even outside
that locked door.</i>

21
00:02:43,413 --> 00:02:44,706
<i>We didn't.</i>

22
00:02:44,831 --> 00:02:47,584
<i>They can't understand why
we didn't know what it meant...</i>

23
00:02:47,709 --> 00:02:49,711
<i>when our dog
wouldn't go up those stairs.</i>

24
00:02:49,836 --> 00:02:52,839
<i>Animals see
the blasted things, it appears.</i>

25
00:02:54,007 --> 00:02:57,469
<i>Well, my sister Pamela and I
knew nothing about such matters —</i>

26
00:02:57,594 --> 00:02:59,012
<i>not then, we didn't.</i>

27
00:02:59,137 --> 00:03:01,348
<i>We had the disadvantage
of being Londoners...</i>

28
00:03:01,515 --> 00:03:03,850
<i>just down
for a fortnight's rest.</i>

29
00:03:03,975 --> 00:03:07,938
<i>That tenth day of May 1937
was the end of our holiday.</i>

30
00:03:20,450 --> 00:03:22,703
We seem to be
in somebody's garden.

31
00:03:22,828 --> 00:03:25,288
What <i>was</i>
somebody's garden.

32
00:03:25,414 --> 00:03:27,124
What a marvelous old house!

33
00:03:27,249 --> 00:03:30,001
We'd better get out before
we're had up for trespassing.

34
00:03:30,127 --> 00:03:33,630
- Where on earth did we leave the car?
- That direction, I think.

35
00:03:43,765 --> 00:03:45,434
Look, a squirrel.

36
00:03:47,185 --> 00:03:49,771
<i>- Grab Bobby!
- Too late. Bobby, come back here!</i>

37
00:03:51,403 --> 00:03:52,858
<i>You bad dog.</i>

38
00:03:52,983 --> 00:03:54,568
Bobby!

39
00:04:01,700 --> 00:04:04,619
He's got the poor little
squirrel trapped. He'll kill it.

40
00:04:04,745 --> 00:04:08,582
My dear, sweet sister, it's more likely
he's having his way with our Bobby.

41
00:04:14,838 --> 00:04:17,507
Fine way to spend a holiday
— chasing a dog!

42
00:04:27,851 --> 00:04:30,937
- Where is he?
- Under here, I think.

43
00:04:33,462 --> 00:04:34,691
I thought you had him.

44
00:04:34,816 --> 00:04:38,278
- He had me. There he goes! Hang on to Bobby!
- I can't!

45
00:04:47,245 --> 00:04:49,164
<i>Oh, well played, sir!</i>

46
00:04:52,083 --> 00:04:55,879
- Do you suppose he can get out?
- Certainly. He's on the roof by now.

47
00:04:57,172 --> 00:05:00,926
That's a smart dog.
He'll be back any minute.

48
00:05:01,051 --> 00:05:03,178
Rick,
have you noticed anything?

49
00:05:03,303 --> 00:05:05,330
Only that I'm in no shape
to join the hunting set.

50
00:05:05,354 --> 00:05:07,182
No, I mean this house.

51
00:05:07,307 --> 00:05:10,227
It's the loveliest thing
I ever saw.

52
00:05:11,269 --> 00:05:13,313
Look at that staircase.

53
00:05:13,438 --> 00:05:15,524
Oh, boy,
what banisters for sliding!

54
00:05:15,649 --> 00:05:17,567
- Oh, Rick.
- What is it?

55
00:05:17,692 --> 00:05:21,404
Your saying that, and the house —
it took me back.

56
00:05:21,530 --> 00:05:24,324
- Yeah, it's quite a bit like the —
- The rose bowl there...

57
00:05:24,449 --> 00:05:26,785
the grandfather clock there...

58
00:05:26,910 --> 00:05:29,955
and Mother in her best gray moiré
sweeping down the stairs.

59
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,958
- You'll be howling in a minute. Come out.
- Not on your life.

60
00:05:33,083 --> 00:05:37,003
I'm going to see the rest of this.
Come on. Let's pretend we're buying it.

61
00:05:37,128 --> 00:05:39,548
I'll toss you for the bedroom
with the best view.

62
00:05:39,673 --> 00:05:41,675
They've all got best views.

63
00:05:43,134 --> 00:05:46,680
How lovely! Why does it
make me feel I'm on a boat?

64
00:05:46,805 --> 00:05:48,849
It's the light on the ceiling.
That's the sea.

65
00:05:48,974 --> 00:05:50,892
It's nice to wake up
and see that.

66
00:05:51,017 --> 00:05:53,478
Oh, how I do hate living
in a London flat.

67
00:05:53,603 --> 00:05:56,731
If you're brought up in an old house,
you always hanker for one.

68
00:05:57,591 --> 00:05:59,359
It's stuck. You try it.

69
00:06:02,737 --> 00:06:05,198
It's locked.
Family skeletons, probably.

70
00:06:05,365 --> 00:06:07,284
Oh, what a bore.

71
00:06:07,409 --> 00:06:09,536
Rick, the bathroom!

72
00:06:11,329 --> 00:06:15,542
An open fire while you bathe.
What luxury!

73
00:06:17,586 --> 00:06:19,838
You know, this is
a Saturday-night-only bathroom.

74
00:06:19,963 --> 00:06:23,967
You boiled yourself as red as a lobster,
then hurried to bed to avoid a chill.

75
00:06:24,092 --> 00:06:26,011
- Rick.
- What?

76
00:06:26,136 --> 00:06:29,222
I've had one of my feelings.
We're really going to buy this house.

77
00:06:29,347 --> 00:06:32,809
Oh, yes? Did your feeling tell you
what we're going to buy it with?

78
00:06:32,934 --> 00:06:36,062
If we both put in everything
we have, maybe we can get it.

79
00:06:36,229 --> 00:06:40,066
It's terribly out of the way,
and it hasn't been lived in for years.

80
00:06:40,191 --> 00:06:44,112
But what would we do with it? We can't
drive nearly 300 miles just for weekends.

81
00:06:44,237 --> 00:06:47,616
We'll live here all the time,
and you'll work at your music.

82
00:06:47,741 --> 00:06:50,577
My poor lunatic sister,
I happen to have a job.

83
00:06:50,744 --> 00:06:52,746
Yes, and what a job —
going to concerts...

84
00:06:52,871 --> 00:06:55,415
and telling your readers
how bad the music was.

85
00:06:55,582 --> 00:06:58,001
It's not good enough, Rick.
Chuck it.

86
00:06:58,126 --> 00:07:01,254
Down here you'd write your own music,
as you always should have done...

87
00:07:01,421 --> 00:07:03,089
and as you've always
wanted to.

88
00:07:03,256 --> 00:07:06,760
Rick, it isn't as if you were
even a good music critic.

89
00:07:06,885 --> 00:07:10,055
Well, thank you very much.
Anyway, I get paid hard cash.

90
00:07:10,180 --> 00:07:13,266
Well, doesn't the idea
attract you at all?

91
00:07:13,433 --> 00:07:14,976
Attract me?

92
00:07:15,101 --> 00:07:17,312
Look, you come out of here.
You're dangerous.

93
00:07:17,437 --> 00:07:20,899
Don't you know how rare
houses like this are?

94
00:07:21,024 --> 00:07:23,652
- I like the banisters.
<i>- How Lizzie'd love that kitchen.</i>

95
00:07:23,777 --> 00:07:26,196
That little beach
must belong to it.

96
00:07:26,321 --> 00:07:28,698
It's in good condition too.
Not a sign of damp.

97
00:07:28,823 --> 00:07:31,451
- We'll get our furniture out of storage —
- Be calm, Pamela.

98
00:07:31,618 --> 00:07:34,329
A change like this would have
to be discussed for months.

99
00:07:34,454 --> 00:07:37,123
Nonsense. Important decisions
have to be made quickly.

100
00:07:37,290 --> 00:07:39,960
Well, my paper
has asked me to do a series —

101
00:07:40,085 --> 00:07:42,629
“Lives of the great musicians.”
Reading time: two minutes.

102
00:07:42,796 --> 00:07:45,757
- There you are. That'll feed us.
- Yes, until I run out of musicians.

103
00:07:45,882 --> 00:07:48,259
Anyway, how do we know
the place is for sale?

104
00:07:48,385 --> 00:07:51,513
Rick, life isn't as cruel as that.
It's got to be.

105
00:08:00,146 --> 00:08:02,148
Now remember, Pam,
no signs of keenness.

106
00:08:02,273 --> 00:08:04,526
We're just mildly interested.
Mildly.

107
00:08:07,529 --> 00:08:09,406
- Good afternoon.
<i>- Good afternoon.</i>

108
00:08:09,531 --> 00:08:11,825
<i>We'd like to see
Commander Beech, if we may.</i>

109
00:08:11,992 --> 00:08:15,495
- He's not in at the moment.
- Could we wait for him?

110
00:08:15,662 --> 00:08:17,580
Won't you come in?

111
00:08:26,756 --> 00:08:28,758
There's a fire in the study.

112
00:08:28,883 --> 00:08:32,095
I think I can catch
my grandfather by telephone.

113
00:08:34,764 --> 00:08:38,101
- Who shall I say wants to see him?
- He wouldn't know our name.

114
00:08:38,226 --> 00:08:41,688
It's Fitzgerald. My sister, Pamela
Fitzgerald, and I'm Roderick Fitzgerald.

115
00:08:41,813 --> 00:08:43,857
- How do you do?
- How do you do?

116
00:08:43,982 --> 00:08:46,026
I'm Stella Meredith.
Won't you sit down?

117
00:08:46,192 --> 00:08:47,861
Thank you.

118
00:08:48,028 --> 00:08:51,406
Oh, not in that chair!
It's got a lumpy seat.

119
00:08:54,492 --> 00:08:56,286
- Do you mind?
- Oh, no.

120
00:08:58,538 --> 00:09:01,541
- Oh, dear. Will this do?
- Thank you.

121
00:09:01,666 --> 00:09:04,294
What an awfully
un-smoking house.

122
00:09:04,419 --> 00:09:08,631
Grandfather had a cigar blown straight down
his throat once when he was on the foredeck.

123
00:09:08,757 --> 00:09:10,675
He lost his taste
for tobacco.

124
00:09:11,926 --> 00:09:13,803
<i>Can I help in any way?</i>

125
00:09:13,928 --> 00:09:16,431
We wanted to talk to the commander
about a house he owns...

126
00:09:16,556 --> 00:09:18,183
<i>on top of the cliff.</i>

127
00:09:18,308 --> 00:09:19,684
- Windward?
<i>- Yes.</i>

128
00:09:19,809 --> 00:09:23,438
You see, we've fallen
head over heels in love with —

129
00:09:23,563 --> 00:09:25,523
I mean,
it might just do for us.

130
00:09:25,648 --> 00:09:26,566
Really?

131
00:09:26,733 --> 00:09:29,569
<i>We understand from Mrs.
Brown at the inn it's for sale.</i>

132
00:09:29,694 --> 00:09:34,365
Mrs. Brown is mistaken. Sorry you've
been put to the trouble of coming here.

133
00:09:34,491 --> 00:09:37,035
Perhaps if we could speak
to your grandfather about it —

134
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,912
It wouldn't be
the slightest use.

135
00:09:39,079 --> 00:09:41,581
I'm sorry, but there's really
no point in your waiting.

136
00:09:41,706 --> 00:09:43,583
<i>Stella, are you there?</i>

137
00:09:45,585 --> 00:09:47,504
Yes, Grandfather.

138
00:09:47,629 --> 00:09:49,506
In here.

139
00:09:55,261 --> 00:09:57,097
Well, what is it?

140
00:09:57,263 --> 00:10:01,101
Some people who came here by
mistake, Grandfather. They're just leaving.

141
00:10:01,267 --> 00:10:03,311
We heard that Windward House
is for sale.

142
00:10:03,436 --> 00:10:05,688
Yes, it is.

143
00:10:05,814 --> 00:10:07,782
Won't you sit down'?
I'll be with you in a moment.

144
00:10:08,149 --> 00:10:09,798
<i>Thank you very much.</i>

145
00:10:15,115 --> 00:10:16,658
Grandfather, please.

146
00:10:16,783 --> 00:10:19,661
I thought I made myself
quite clear on this point, Stella.

147
00:10:19,786 --> 00:10:22,664
- Yes, Grandfather —
- I don't understand you.

148
00:10:22,789 --> 00:10:25,458
A house you haven't lived in
since you were a child...

149
00:10:25,583 --> 00:10:27,794
a piece of property
we can't afford to maintain.

150
00:10:27,919 --> 00:10:30,463
But it was
my mother's house. It's —

151
00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:33,800
- I can't put it into words. It's —
- Nonsense.

152
00:10:33,967 --> 00:10:35,885
Grandfather, please!

153
00:10:55,780 --> 00:10:58,408
I don't believe many repairs
will be necessary.

154
00:10:58,533 --> 00:11:00,118
The roof is sound...

155
00:11:00,243 --> 00:11:03,413
and the walls have withstood
the Atlantic gales for two centuries.

156
00:11:03,538 --> 00:11:05,123
- Thank you.
- Thank you.

157
00:11:05,248 --> 00:11:08,918
There was a considerable sum
spent on the house some 20 years ago...

158
00:11:09,043 --> 00:11:11,004
when I gave it
to my daughter.

159
00:11:11,171 --> 00:11:14,132
I understand.
Well, I'm sorry...

160
00:11:14,257 --> 00:11:17,677
but I'm afraid £1,200
is our absolute limit.

161
00:11:17,802 --> 00:11:20,096
- Is that a definite offer?
- Yes.

162
00:11:20,221 --> 00:11:22,891
And you would pay
the entire sum immediately?

163
00:11:23,016 --> 00:11:25,476
<i>- You mean you'd sell for that?</i>
- Yes.

164
00:11:28,354 --> 00:11:31,274
I suppose you ought to have
the property surveyed before we —

165
00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:34,068
- Oh, Rick.
<i>- There's no need to gel' suspicious.</i>

166
00:11:34,194 --> 00:11:36,487
The house is worth
far more than that...

167
00:11:36,613 --> 00:11:39,032
but I have
a very young granddaughter...

168
00:11:39,199 --> 00:11:42,210
and £1,200 in the bank for her
would ease my mind considerably.

169
00:11:42,398 --> 00:11:44,358
<i>We understand perfectly.</i>

170
00:11:45,288 --> 00:11:47,916
And you'd not be nervous
in such a lonely house?

171
00:11:48,041 --> 00:11:49,751
No, indeed.

172
00:11:49,876 --> 00:11:53,504
<i>Or of the wind at nights?
It plays odd tricks in old houses.</i>

173
00:11:53,630 --> 00:11:56,007
Are you trying to tell us
the house is haunted?

174
00:11:56,132 --> 00:11:58,718
No, Miss Fitzgerald.
No house is haunted.

175
00:11:59,761 --> 00:12:01,721
But I had some tenants
five years ago...

176
00:12:01,846 --> 00:12:04,724
who complained of...
disturbances.

177
00:12:04,849 --> 00:12:08,353
What was the trouble? Ladies
carrying their heads under their arms?

178
00:12:08,478 --> 00:12:11,105
I declined to discuss it
and canceled the lease.

179
00:12:11,231 --> 00:12:13,107
But I couldn't
cancel a sale.

180
00:12:13,233 --> 00:12:15,193
We wouldn't want you to.

181
00:12:15,318 --> 00:12:18,613
One does feel that a story
like that should bring the price down.

182
00:12:18,738 --> 00:12:22,492
I've already made a very
considerable reduction, Mr. Fitzgerald.

183
00:12:22,617 --> 00:12:25,036
Perhaps we both need time
to think the matter over.

184
00:12:25,161 --> 00:12:28,498
- But our offer's definite. isn't it, Rick?
- Oh, yes.

185
00:12:28,623 --> 00:12:30,750
Very well, then.
I accept it.

186
00:12:31,834 --> 00:12:35,338
Title deeds and checks
will be exchanged by our solicitors.

187
00:12:35,463 --> 00:12:37,966
In the meantime,
I have your word...

188
00:12:38,091 --> 00:12:39,968
and you have mine.

189
00:12:41,094 --> 00:12:44,931
Well, it's wonderfully simple
to buy a house, isn't it?

190
00:12:48,428 --> 00:12:49,709
Pam, where are you?

191
00:12:49,865 --> 00:12:53,106
Here I am.
Look, our own roses.

192
00:12:58,403 --> 00:13:01,114
Rick, it's all ours.
Isn't it wonderful?

193
00:13:01,239 --> 00:13:03,241
Hmm. You know,
it's bigger than I thought.

194
00:13:03,366 --> 00:13:05,743
I can't wait to see
what's in that Bluebeard room.

195
00:13:05,868 --> 00:13:07,745
Probably the housemaid's
cupboard —

196
00:13:07,870 --> 00:13:10,748
slops, mops, dripping taps.

197
00:13:10,873 --> 00:13:13,626
I wonder how soon we can get
cleaners and painters in.

198
00:13:13,751 --> 00:13:16,379
You'll go back to London,
of course, while I stay here.

199
00:13:16,504 --> 00:13:18,464
Rolled up in a blanket
like a squaw?

200
00:13:18,631 --> 00:13:21,884
At the inn, idiot,
until you ship me the furniture.

201
00:13:24,512 --> 00:13:27,056
Did the old boy tell you
why it was locked?

202
00:13:27,181 --> 00:13:29,475
Never thought to ask him.

203
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,358
Well, now we know.

204
00:13:37,483 --> 00:13:39,485
It's the one ugly room
in the house.

205
00:13:39,610 --> 00:13:41,487
Oh, it's not so bad.

206
00:13:41,612 --> 00:13:44,157
That window —
it's like a cucumber frame.

207
00:13:44,324 --> 00:13:46,659
They put that in later
to make a painter's studio.

208
00:13:46,826 --> 00:13:50,079
Even the view
doesn't cheer it up.

209
00:13:50,204 --> 00:13:53,124
- What'll we do with it?
- My workroom, of course.

210
00:13:53,249 --> 00:13:56,252
It's ideal. Put the piano over there
with shelves for music...

211
00:13:56,377 --> 00:13:59,505
plenty of space to walk up and down,
manuscripts all over the floor...

212
00:13:59,672 --> 00:14:03,551
hot pincers to tear the flesh from people
who keep telling me luncheon is ready...

213
00:14:03,676 --> 00:14:05,762
stacks of checks
from my publishers, and —

214
00:14:06,888 --> 00:14:09,849
- Do you think this room is damp?
- It needs airing.

215
00:14:10,892 --> 00:14:14,520
It's funny it should strike so cold
in here after such a warm day.

216
00:14:14,687 --> 00:14:16,939
- Oh, law.
- What, Rick?

217
00:14:17,065 --> 00:14:20,485
I suddenly felt
completely flattened.

218
00:14:20,610 --> 00:14:24,197
Do you suppose I'll ever be able to
write any music here or anywhere?

219
00:14:24,322 --> 00:14:26,908
What on earth
are you talking about?

220
00:14:27,033 --> 00:14:30,078
You don't suppose we've made
the most howling mistake, do you?

221
00:14:30,203 --> 00:14:32,330
Rick, have we?

222
00:14:32,455 --> 00:14:35,458
Why did the commander suddenly
come down in his price like that?

223
00:14:35,583 --> 00:14:38,878
The disturbances. Rumors like that
are dynamite if you're selling a place.

224
00:14:39,045 --> 00:14:43,091
Yes. Pamela, you're not going to get
scared of this ghost business, are you?

225
00:14:43,216 --> 00:14:46,386
<i>Of course not, Rick.
I don't believe in them, really...</i>

226
00:14:46,511 --> 00:14:49,639
<i>and I'd be interested,
not scared, wouldn't you?</i>

227
00:14:49,764 --> 00:14:53,643
Me? No, disturbances wouldn't
disturb me, not for a single second.

228
00:14:56,938 --> 00:14:59,273
- It's Bobby!
- Of course it's Bobby.

229
00:14:59,399 --> 00:15:01,367
Now don't go getting imaginative.

230
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:04,570
It is rather
a filthy room, isn't it?

231
00:15:06,383 --> 00:15:08,866
<i>We're here, Bobby.</i>

232
00:15:08,991 --> 00:15:11,369
He's trying to tell us
about the squirrel, I expect.

233
00:15:11,494 --> 00:15:13,538
Didn't he keep
his date with you?

234
00:15:14,131 --> 00:15:15,975
<i>Why don't you come up, stupid?</i>

235
00:15:18,042 --> 00:15:20,253
Rick, look at that
lamb of a window!

236
00:15:20,378 --> 00:15:22,588
Never thought Bobby
was a killer at heart.

237
00:15:25,508 --> 00:15:27,414
Who's that standing out there?

238
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,929
Looks like the old boy's
granddaughter.

239
00:15:34,725 --> 00:15:36,602
Don't waste a wave
on that one.

240
00:15:36,727 --> 00:15:38,938
Because she didn't want us
to buy the house?

241
00:15:39,105 --> 00:15:41,774
- I think she'd been crying.
- Had she?

242
00:15:41,941 --> 00:15:43,484
Don't you see?

243
00:15:43,609 --> 00:15:46,112
She adored the house,
and we've cast her out.

244
00:15:46,237 --> 00:15:48,698
- Isn't it awful?
- Stop making up stories.

245
00:15:48,823 --> 00:15:51,284
She didn't live here.
She just doesn't want us to.

246
00:15:51,409 --> 00:15:53,307
She's an ill-mannered
little dog in the manger.

247
00:15:53,828 --> 00:15:56,873
All right, Bobby.
We'll take you back to the inn...

248
00:15:56,998 --> 00:15:58,543
and let you
order your dinner.

249
00:15:58,747 --> 00:16:00,340
Have you forgotten something?

250
00:16:05,465 --> 00:16:07,508
No. On second thought...

251
00:16:07,633 --> 00:16:10,845
my landing gear
isn't what it used to be.

252
00:16:45,463 --> 00:16:47,256
- Morning, sir.
- Morning.

253
00:16:47,381 --> 00:16:49,550
- Twenty Turrets, please.
- Yes, sir.

254
00:16:51,802 --> 00:16:55,223
- Isn't this Windward House?
- Yes, sir. Fine house too.

255
00:16:55,348 --> 00:16:57,517
Glad to hear
there'll be folk in it again.

256
00:16:57,683 --> 00:17:00,811
- You have a dozen of these?
- Likely I have.

257
00:17:02,271 --> 00:17:04,607
Oh, maybe
you're the new owner.

258
00:17:04,732 --> 00:17:06,901
Yes, my sister and I
bought the place yesterday.

259
00:17:07,026 --> 00:17:10,696
Well, well. I hope you'll bring it
back to itself again.

260
00:17:10,821 --> 00:17:13,658
The last lot that lived there
weren't no good.

261
00:17:13,783 --> 00:17:15,611
Went away owing money.

262
00:17:16,118 --> 00:17:19,372
Got out of their lease starting
ugly stories about the place.

263
00:17:19,497 --> 00:17:22,458
- So that's how the rumors started.
- That's what I do say.

264
00:17:22,583 --> 00:17:25,878
Here you are, sir.
Nine seems to be all I have.

265
00:17:26,045 --> 00:17:28,881
- That's all right.
- Of course, there are others say different.

266
00:17:29,048 --> 00:17:31,384
- There are?
- Well, that's only natural...

267
00:17:31,551 --> 00:17:34,470
after the way the lady
of Windward House died...

268
00:17:34,595 --> 00:17:36,180
God rest her soul.

269
00:17:36,305 --> 00:17:38,182
You mean
the commander's daughter?

270
00:17:38,307 --> 00:17:41,561
Only child. Come near breaking
the old gentleman's heart.

271
00:17:41,686 --> 00:17:44,355
- He's never been the same since.
- How did she die?

272
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,691
- Fell off the cliff.
- Accident?

273
00:17:46,816 --> 00:17:48,442
That's what I do say.

274
00:17:48,568 --> 00:17:51,237
Good morning, Mr. Hardy.

275
00:17:51,404 --> 00:17:54,782
- A copy of <i>Amateur Gardening,</i> please.
- Yes, Mrs. Coatesworthy.

276
00:17:54,907 --> 00:17:56,784
Well, the best
of luck to you, sir.

277
00:17:56,909 --> 00:17:59,787
If you have a favorite tobacco,
I'll be glad to stock it.

278
00:17:59,912 --> 00:18:01,789
Thank you. Good-bye.

279
00:18:01,914 --> 00:18:04,166
The gent that just
bought Windward House.

280
00:18:04,292 --> 00:18:06,085
You don't say.

281
00:18:10,590 --> 00:18:12,842
- Mr. Fitzgerald?
- Yes?

282
00:18:12,967 --> 00:18:15,803
- Oh, it's you.
- May I speak to you for a moment?

283
00:18:15,928 --> 00:18:17,513
Look here, young lady...

284
00:18:17,638 --> 00:18:20,766
if you want to talk me out of
Windward House, save your breath.

285
00:18:20,891 --> 00:18:23,769
It isn't that. It's about me,
yesterday afternoon.

286
00:18:23,936 --> 00:18:25,771
My behavior was inexcusable.

287
00:18:25,938 --> 00:18:29,483
- Come now. It wasn't as bad as all that.
- Thank you very much.

288
00:18:29,609 --> 00:18:31,777
Your grandfather
made you apologize, didn't he?

289
00:18:31,944 --> 00:18:33,863
Oh, no.
It was my mother.

290
00:18:33,988 --> 00:18:35,489
Your moth—

291
00:18:35,615 --> 00:18:38,242
But I understood that —
I beg your pardon?

292
00:18:38,367 --> 00:18:41,662
I kept looking at her last night,
thinking how I'd let her down.

293
00:18:41,787 --> 00:18:44,749
- But isn't your mother dead?
- Yes, but I know all about her.

294
00:18:44,874 --> 00:18:47,835
From Grandfather, of course.
I was only three when she died.

295
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,129
But I thought you said
you looked at her.

296
00:18:50,254 --> 00:18:52,923
Her portrait hangs in my room.
My father painted it.

297
00:18:53,049 --> 00:18:55,009
Oh, then it was his studio.

298
00:18:55,134 --> 00:18:57,845
Yes, and she was
so beautiful.

299
00:18:57,970 --> 00:19:00,264
Let's go for a walk.

300
00:19:03,184 --> 00:19:05,311
Grandfather will never
get over her death.

301
00:19:05,478 --> 00:19:08,606
- He's hated Windward ever since.
- That's understandable.

302
00:19:08,731 --> 00:19:12,735
But it isn't fair to hate a house
because someone's died there.

303
00:19:12,860 --> 00:19:16,072
I love Windward because
she lived there for three years...

304
00:19:16,197 --> 00:19:17,657
and those were my years.

305
00:19:17,823 --> 00:19:20,910
And that's why you don't want
anyone else to live in it?

306
00:19:21,035 --> 00:19:23,871
- That's foolish, isn't it?
- No, just one thing is foolish:

307
00:19:23,996 --> 00:19:26,499
You're living
somebody else's life.

308
00:19:26,624 --> 00:19:29,377
- How old are you, Stella Meredith?
- Twenty.

309
00:19:29,502 --> 00:19:31,420
You're 20,
and you're pretty.

310
00:19:31,545 --> 00:19:35,257
You shouldn't be wasting a single
second looking back on three little years.

311
00:19:35,383 --> 00:19:37,218
- You should be having fun.
- I am.

312
00:19:37,343 --> 00:19:40,346
Oh, nonsense! What are
you doing today, for instance?

313
00:19:40,471 --> 00:19:42,807
- Oh, just things.
- Facts, details.

314
00:19:42,932 --> 00:19:45,393
Oh, dear.

315
00:19:45,518 --> 00:19:47,311
I've got to match some wool.

316
00:19:47,436 --> 00:19:51,065
Then I have to stop at the library
and get a copy of <i>Bleak House.</i>

317
00:19:51,190 --> 00:19:52,858
Grandfather and I
are reading Dickens.

318
00:19:52,983 --> 00:19:56,862
You're not going to do any of those
things. I have a much better idea.

319
00:20:06,288 --> 00:20:08,499
Isn't this better
than reading to Grandfather?

320
00:20:08,624 --> 00:20:10,835
Oh, it's wonderful.

321
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,795
Ever get seasick?

322
00:20:14,037 --> 00:20:16,590
Fortunately, I have a
stomach like Gibraltar.

323
00:20:16,716 --> 00:20:18,884
Not externally, of course.

324
00:20:21,053 --> 00:20:23,389
<i>- Are you asleep?</i>
- No.

325
00:20:23,556 --> 00:20:27,643
Just wondering if our national
confidence in Gibraltar isn't misplaced.

326
00:20:35,484 --> 00:20:37,737
Shouldn't you get
out of the sun?

327
00:20:37,903 --> 00:20:39,572
No, I'd —

328
00:20:39,739 --> 00:20:41,574
I'd rather...

329
00:20:41,741 --> 00:20:43,617
remain here.

330
00:20:43,743 --> 00:20:46,912
Oh, please!
The tiller — please!

331
00:20:52,638 --> 00:20:53,586
Smells good.

332
00:20:53,974 --> 00:20:57,131
That's mimosa.
It was my mo—

333
00:20:57,256 --> 00:21:00,092
Oh, I forgot. I'm not supposed
to talk about that.

334
00:21:00,259 --> 00:21:02,595
<i>- Why?</i>
- Out of the past.

335
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,307
- Oh, go ahead.
- It was my mother's favorite perfume.

336
00:21:06,432 --> 00:21:08,768
My father sent me a bottle
before he died.

337
00:21:08,934 --> 00:21:10,811
I've made it last a long time.

338
00:21:12,980 --> 00:21:15,566
Mimosa.
Ever see it growing?

339
00:21:15,691 --> 00:21:18,360
<i>- No, I haven't.</i>
- Like a million little yellow bells.

340
00:21:18,486 --> 00:21:19,904
Like —

341
00:21:20,841 --> 00:21:22,948
Like sleigh bells.

342
00:21:28,871 --> 00:21:31,624
It's smooth again.
Are you feeling better?

343
00:21:31,791 --> 00:21:35,419
Oh, yes. I was about
to resume command.

344
00:21:35,544 --> 00:21:38,172
Bring her about sharply.
Head straight for the jetty.

345
00:21:38,297 --> 00:21:40,800
Avast the boom.
Scuttle the funnels.

346
00:21:42,968 --> 00:21:44,929
Lady, please!

347
00:21:51,811 --> 00:21:54,438
I thought you'd gone off
for London, Mr. Fitzgerald.

348
00:21:54,563 --> 00:21:57,358
- Just leaving now, Ben.
- That'd be half a crown.

349
00:22:01,111 --> 00:22:03,072
- You doing up your hair again?
- Yes.

350
00:22:03,197 --> 00:22:05,574
No, no, no! Come on.

351
00:22:08,118 --> 00:22:11,622
It's wonderful like this,
all loose and free and windblown.

352
00:22:11,747 --> 00:22:14,625
What am I doing? Talking high
poetry or selling hairstyle advertising?

353
00:22:14,750 --> 00:22:16,836
- You laugh at everything, don't you?
- Too much?

354
00:22:16,961 --> 00:22:20,089
No. It's just I've never known
anyone who laughed much.

355
00:22:22,174 --> 00:22:24,510
See a lot of Pamela
while I'm away, will you?

356
00:22:24,677 --> 00:22:27,388
- How long will you be gone?
- About three weeks.

357
00:22:27,513 --> 00:22:30,349
Perhaps she'll let me help her
with the curtains and things.

358
00:22:30,474 --> 00:22:33,769
Get her to talk about me —
in a respectful way, of course.

359
00:22:33,894 --> 00:22:36,564
None of those anecdotes
where I'm the family half-wit.

360
00:22:39,233 --> 00:22:41,151
I hope you have
a nice trip.

361
00:22:41,277 --> 00:22:43,529
- I'll take you home first.
- You're so late starting.

362
00:22:43,696 --> 00:22:44,947
Might as well.

363
00:22:45,072 --> 00:22:49,201
I'd rather break it gently to Grandfather
about our sail, if you don't mind.

364
00:22:49,368 --> 00:22:52,329
All right.
Gently but firmly, mind.

365
00:22:52,454 --> 00:22:54,748
- Good-bye.
- Bye.

366
00:22:54,874 --> 00:22:56,792
- Oh, Mr. Fitzgerald —
- Yes?

367
00:22:56,917 --> 00:22:58,711
I almost forgot to say it.

368
00:22:58,878 --> 00:23:02,006
I'm awfully happy you and your
sister are going to live at Windward.

369
00:23:02,131 --> 00:23:04,279
Why, thank you, Stella Meredith!

370
00:23:26,572 --> 00:23:28,240
Well, here we are.

371
00:23:28,365 --> 00:23:32,244
What a grand house, Master Rick.
'Tis a mansion, so 'tis.

372
00:23:32,369 --> 00:23:35,998
Are you worthy of it, Lizzie Flynn?
That's what I keep asking myself.

373
00:23:36,123 --> 00:23:38,125
'Tis on top of the world.

374
00:23:38,250 --> 00:23:39,501
- Rick!
- Hello, Pam.

375
00:23:39,627 --> 00:23:41,503
- Baby darling!
- Lizzie!

376
00:23:43,923 --> 00:23:45,799
Oh, you devil for being late.

377
00:23:45,925 --> 00:23:48,802
I wanted you to see everything
while it was still daylight.

378
00:23:48,928 --> 00:23:51,096
Ah, Master Rick and his friends
and their cocktails.

379
00:23:51,263 --> 00:23:53,682
- Got Lizzie drunk.
- Get on with you, Master Rick.

380
00:23:54,182 --> 00:23:55,986
Oh, Bobby!
Where's our Bobby?

381
00:23:56,644 --> 00:23:59,021
- Don't, Rick.
- Something happen to him?

382
00:23:59,146 --> 00:24:01,899
Nothing tragic.
He just wandered away.

383
00:24:02,024 --> 00:24:03,943
I suppose I haven't
enough dog appeal.

384
00:24:04,109 --> 00:24:06,946
- No, seriously, Pam.
- He loathed the country.

385
00:24:07,071 --> 00:24:11,200
You know, no nice dustbins and
no sporting interest in finding a tree.

386
00:24:11,325 --> 00:24:14,787
Hmm. Never heard
of a terrier walking out.

387
00:24:18,582 --> 00:24:21,835
Ah, Miss Pamela,
I'm dreaming on me feet.

388
00:24:21,961 --> 00:24:24,797
Pam, it's perfect.
You're practically straight.

389
00:24:24,964 --> 00:24:27,549
There's some soup
in the kitchen.

390
00:24:27,675 --> 00:24:30,469
Look at Whiskey now.
He knows where the food is.

391
00:24:30,594 --> 00:24:32,680
- How did the furniture fit in?
- Beautifully.

392
00:24:32,805 --> 00:24:35,182
I saw the grandfather clock.
It waved both hands at me.

393
00:24:35,307 --> 00:24:37,351
If the soup's burned,
Lizzie will spank me.

394
00:24:37,476 --> 00:24:39,687
Get along with you, miss.

395
00:24:39,812 --> 00:24:42,856
The saints be praised!
There's me old rocker.

396
00:24:42,982 --> 00:24:45,651
It's been 10 years since
you nestled your bustle in that.

397
00:24:48,696 --> 00:24:52,408
- You've done wonders, Pam.
- Thanks.

398
00:24:54,994 --> 00:24:58,163
Tell me, what does Stella
think of the changes?

399
00:24:58,330 --> 00:25:00,040
- You mean Stella Meredith?
- Mm-hmm.

400
00:25:00,165 --> 00:25:01,959
- I haven't set eyes on her.
- You haven't?

401
00:25:02,084 --> 00:25:05,546
I did write and ask her to tea.
Got a reply from the commander...

402
00:25:05,671 --> 00:25:07,923
saying she wasn't strong enough
to accept invitations.

403
00:25:08,048 --> 00:25:09,591
Not strong enough?

404
00:25:09,717 --> 00:25:12,177
I expect it's us.
We just aren't nice to know.

405
00:25:12,302 --> 00:25:15,556
But Stella was crazy to make
friends with you. She told me.

406
00:25:15,681 --> 00:25:17,599
But where did you see her?

407
00:25:19,717 --> 00:25:21,645
Just before I left for London.

408
00:25:21,770 --> 00:25:24,023
<i>Why, you colossal bluff!</i>

409
00:25:24,189 --> 00:25:26,817
You were just as sorry
for that child as I was.

410
00:25:26,942 --> 00:25:30,904
Stop pushing her into the nursery.
She's 20. She said so herself.

411
00:25:31,030 --> 00:25:32,448
You like her.

412
00:25:35,743 --> 00:25:37,494
I can't help it.

413
00:25:39,705 --> 00:25:43,709
There's kind of a sleeping-beauty
magic about the kid.

414
00:25:43,834 --> 00:25:47,463
I'd thought I'd done something
toward breaking the spell.

415
00:25:47,588 --> 00:25:49,339
Seems not.

416
00:25:49,465 --> 00:25:51,550
Prince Charmless —
that's me.

417
00:25:51,675 --> 00:25:53,635
That'll do for tonight,
Mr. Roderick.

418
00:25:53,761 --> 00:25:57,639
It's time for Miss Pamela to go to bed.
She looks tired out.

419
00:25:57,765 --> 00:26:00,100
You're an old tyrant,
Lizzie Flynn.

420
00:26:00,225 --> 00:26:02,144
But you're perfectly right.

421
00:26:06,065 --> 00:26:08,067
Put the lights out, Rick.

422
00:26:10,069 --> 00:26:12,404
Now let's see.
I think I turn it down...

423
00:26:12,571 --> 00:26:14,490
and blow down the chimney.

424
00:26:16,931 --> 00:26:18,869
Haven't done that
since I was a kid.

425
00:26:18,994 --> 00:26:21,080
Come now, Whiskey.
Good boy.

426
00:26:22,581 --> 00:26:25,751
- Are you having him in your room?
- He's used to it, the creature.

427
00:26:25,876 --> 00:26:28,378
Get along up, now.

428
00:26:28,504 --> 00:26:31,465
<i>Haven't I carried you
enough this day?</i>

429
00:26:31,590 --> 00:26:34,635
- Get on up, now.
- I'll give him a start.

430
00:26:36,678 --> 00:26:38,847
What in the name
of all the saints?

431
00:26:38,972 --> 00:26:42,684
Well, he's not used to traveling
and strange houses.

432
00:26:42,810 --> 00:26:45,062
He'll find me
if he wants me.

433
00:26:45,187 --> 00:26:48,649
I've not slept with the sound
of the sea since I left Ireland.

434
00:26:48,774 --> 00:26:50,609
Would you like
to go back there?

435
00:26:50,734 --> 00:26:54,446
- I'd sooner see meself dead.
- Ah, go on with yez.

436
00:26:57,783 --> 00:27:00,119
Why, whatever ails
these candles?

437
00:27:00,285 --> 00:27:02,746
It seems to be
a rather drafty staircase.

438
00:27:02,871 --> 00:27:05,499
Rick, I've had a swim every day
from our own beach...

439
00:27:05,624 --> 00:27:07,584
and I've started
to make a garden.

440
00:27:07,709 --> 00:27:09,795
You learn the oddest things
when you garden.

441
00:27:09,962 --> 00:27:11,964
Did you know there's
an upside-down to seeds?

442
00:27:12,131 --> 00:27:14,800
- No. Good night, Pam.
- Good night, Rick.

443
00:27:14,967 --> 00:27:17,928
- Good night, Master Rick.
- Good night, Liz.

444
00:27:24,547 --> 00:27:25,435
Come in.

445
00:27:30,566 --> 00:27:32,526
<i>I thought you were asleep.</i>

446
00:27:32,651 --> 00:27:34,778
It turns cold in the night
here sometimes.

447
00:27:37,239 --> 00:27:38,824
Oh, thanks.

448
00:27:41,326 --> 00:27:43,954
Rick, there's something
I want to talk to you about.

449
00:27:44,079 --> 00:27:47,374
Do you have any nice cast iron
I can swap for this mattress?

450
00:27:47,499 --> 00:27:51,461
- We'll give you another tomorrow.
- Nothing will keep me awake tonight.

451
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,632
What price our house, Pam?
Pretty good, hmm?

452
00:27:55,757 --> 00:27:59,636
- You're really pleased with it?
- I was never so happy in my life.

453
00:27:59,761 --> 00:28:01,889
Oh, you started
to say something. What?

454
00:28:02,014 --> 00:28:05,684
It was just that I was the one
that got you to buy the house —

455
00:28:05,809 --> 00:28:08,812
And I didn't appear
very appreciative. Is that it?

456
00:28:08,937 --> 00:28:10,814
It'll wait until tomorrow.

457
00:28:10,939 --> 00:28:13,192
Bless you, Rick.
Sleep well.

458
00:28:13,358 --> 00:28:15,527
You too.

459
00:28:15,694 --> 00:28:17,420
These are pretty good apples.

460
00:28:20,908 --> 00:28:23,540
<i>That concludes our
broadcast for today.</i>

461
00:28:24,036 --> 00:28:26,528
<i>Good night, everyone.
Good night.</i>

462
00:29:05,744 --> 00:29:07,704
Pam, is that you?

463
00:30:24,740 --> 00:30:27,492
- Rick.
- Pamela.

464
00:30:27,617 --> 00:30:30,495
- We don't want to wake Lizzie.
- But isn't it Lizzie?

465
00:30:30,620 --> 00:30:33,665
No, it isn't Lizzie.

466
00:30:33,790 --> 00:30:35,709
It's coming from downstairs.

467
00:30:35,834 --> 00:30:38,503
It comes from everywhere
and nowhere.

468
00:30:38,628 --> 00:30:42,215
Take hold of yourself, Pam.
I'm going down and search the place.

469
00:30:42,341 --> 00:30:44,509
Rick, I've searched.

470
00:30:44,676 --> 00:30:46,511
There's never anything there.

471
00:30:46,678 --> 00:30:48,889
“Never”? You mean
you've heard it before?

472
00:30:49,014 --> 00:30:50,724
Yes.

473
00:30:50,849 --> 00:30:54,019
Rick, it's true, isn't it? The sound,
I mean. You're hearing it too?

474
00:30:54,144 --> 00:30:56,229
- Of course I'm hearing it.
- I wasn't sure.

475
00:30:56,355 --> 00:30:59,024
- Pam —
- I thought I might be going crazy.

476
00:30:59,191 --> 00:31:02,444
- Was that why you didn't tell me?
- Yes, that, and —

477
00:31:02,569 --> 00:31:06,239
Rick, it's your home.
It's all we've got to live in.

478
00:31:09,159 --> 00:31:11,161
It sounds so heartbroken.

479
00:31:11,286 --> 00:31:13,205
Now don't get rattled, Pam.

480
00:31:13,330 --> 00:31:15,415
- There's a logical explanation for this.
- Such as?

481
00:31:15,540 --> 00:31:19,503
You can't expect me to give it to you
offhand, but it stands to reason.

482
00:31:21,046 --> 00:31:23,882
- Does it come every night?
- No.

483
00:31:24,007 --> 00:31:27,886
Just when you begin to think
you dreamt it, it comes again.

484
00:31:28,011 --> 00:31:30,972
Be calm, Pam. Be calm.

485
00:31:31,098 --> 00:31:33,016
I'm all right.

486
00:31:33,141 --> 00:31:35,310
It'll stop soon now.

487
00:31:35,435 --> 00:31:37,187
How do you know?

488
00:31:37,312 --> 00:31:39,231
It dies away at dawn.

489
00:31:40,565 --> 00:31:41,983
Listen.

490
00:31:47,359 --> 00:31:49,366
<i>That's the dawn breeze.</i>

491
00:31:50,992 --> 00:31:54,704
- Well, that's all for tonight.
- It's a pity, really.

492
00:31:54,830 --> 00:31:57,707
Hardly gives one time to look into it.
Now listen, dear —

493
00:31:57,833 --> 00:31:59,668
Look, let's talk tomorrow.

494
00:31:59,793 --> 00:32:02,421
I'll die if I don't get
some sleep.

495
00:32:02,546 --> 00:32:04,923
Pam, leave your door open
in case you're nervous.

496
00:32:05,048 --> 00:32:06,550
All right, Rick.

497
00:32:06,675 --> 00:32:08,802
And remember, you haven't
a thing to worry about.

498
00:32:08,927 --> 00:32:11,096
This business can be
scientifically explained.

499
00:32:11,221 --> 00:32:14,099
Probably a loose wire hidden around
the house, acting as an aerial...

500
00:32:14,224 --> 00:32:17,018
picking up the sound
of some woman in the village crying.

501
00:32:17,144 --> 00:32:19,659
<i>Was she crying when the last
tenants were frightened out?</i>

502
00:32:20,413 --> 00:32:22,707
Well, maybe she had
a sad life.

503
00:32:24,651 --> 00:32:25,979
Anyway...

504
00:32:26,278 --> 00:32:29,614
I'm here now,
and I'm not the least rattled.

505
00:32:29,739 --> 00:32:31,908
Not the least little bit
in the world.

506
00:32:35,454 --> 00:32:37,110
It's just silly to be upset.

507
00:32:52,554 --> 00:32:55,515
Last night I heard it myself,
Commander Beech —

508
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,602
a perfectly appalling
sound of crying.

509
00:32:58,727 --> 00:33:01,313
Mr. Fitzgerald, Windward House
belongs to you now.

510
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,566
- Why do you bring this matter to me?
- Because we want information —

511
00:33:04,691 --> 00:33:07,819
I for practical reasons, and my
sister because she believes it's a ghost.

512
00:33:07,986 --> 00:33:11,198
- She'd like to know what the ghost wants.
- What utter bosh!

513
00:33:11,323 --> 00:33:15,035
Bosh, I agree,
but when did the noises start?

514
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,913
- You inherited the house, I believe.
- From my grandmother.

515
00:33:18,038 --> 00:33:20,165
And there were no disturbances
there in her time?

516
00:33:20,332 --> 00:33:23,668
None. And if there are noises now,
they're from perfectly natural causes.

517
00:33:23,835 --> 00:33:26,129
An echo from
a subterranean cave, perhaps.

518
00:33:26,254 --> 00:33:28,131
That would've been heard
in your grandmother's day.

519
00:33:28,256 --> 00:33:30,467
Erosion may have changed
the structure of the cliffs.

520
00:33:30,951 --> 00:33:33,845
<i>- It's not a bad suggestion.</i>
- May I come in, Grandfather?

521
00:33:34,279 --> 00:33:37,057
No, you run along to church.
I'll join you in a few minutes.

522
00:33:37,182 --> 00:33:39,768
- But I want to see Mr. Fitzgerald.
- I'm glad you're better.

523
00:33:40,443 --> 00:33:41,881
“Better”?

524
00:33:42,145 --> 00:33:43,897
But I haven't been ill.

525
00:33:44,022 --> 00:33:46,149
<i>Stella merely suffers
with a general delicacy.</i>

526
00:33:46,274 --> 00:33:49,027
- She doesn't accept invitations.
- Never?

527
00:33:49,152 --> 00:33:52,364
Perhaps I'd better frankly state she's
not strong enough to make new friends.

528
00:33:52,531 --> 00:33:54,533
- Grandfather!
- Run along, my dear.

529
00:33:54,658 --> 00:33:56,660
We're discussing
something privately.

530
00:34:00,121 --> 00:34:02,499
Is there anything else,
Mr. Fitzgerald?

531
00:34:02,624 --> 00:34:06,336
Just one more question. Was Stella's
mother ever troubled at Windward House?

532
00:34:06,461 --> 00:34:09,005
- What do you mean?
- Did she hear the crying?

533
00:34:09,130 --> 00:34:11,883
My daughter was not one
to circulate ridiculous rumors.

534
00:34:12,050 --> 00:34:14,701
If she'd heard this, she'd have
mentioned it, and she never did?

535
00:34:14,779 --> 00:34:15,818
Certainly not.

536
00:34:16,013 --> 00:34:17,889
Then the trouble must
have begun since her death.

537
00:34:18,056 --> 00:34:21,393
- Do you mean to imply —
- No, I'm merely trying to set the date.

538
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,896
- I didn't mean that your daughter haunts —
- How dare you suggest such a thing?

539
00:34:25,063 --> 00:34:28,441
Really, I'm most desperately sorry.
Please forgive me.

540
00:34:28,567 --> 00:34:32,195
Very well. I accept your apology.
But please understand one thing.

541
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:36,575
Your purchase of the property doesn't
establish a social bond between us.

542
00:34:37,659 --> 00:34:40,912
What's the matter with us?
Why don't you allow Stella to see us?

543
00:34:41,079 --> 00:34:42,562
Because I don't want to.

544
00:34:42,742 --> 00:34:45,628
And I must ask for your word not
to send her any more invitations.

545
00:34:45,652 --> 00:34:47,335
I'll give you no such undertaking.

546
00:34:47,452 --> 00:34:49,718
Very well. I shall know
how to deal with the matter.

547
00:34:49,993 --> 00:34:52,704
Stella is not going
inside that house!

548
00:34:53,174 --> 00:34:56,886
Great Scott! You believe
the place is haunted.

549
00:35:07,647 --> 00:35:11,151
I hoped you'd come along.
I wanted to talk to you.

550
00:35:12,277 --> 00:35:14,779
- Quick, drive around the next corner.
- Get in.

551
00:35:19,451 --> 00:35:22,078
You had four freckles on the boat.
They've gone.

552
00:35:22,203 --> 00:35:24,998
I couldn't go to see your sister.
Grandfather's been ill.

553
00:35:26,833 --> 00:35:28,877
Turn here.

554
00:35:33,632 --> 00:35:36,801
Now, what is this
about your not seeing Pamela?

555
00:35:36,926 --> 00:35:40,639
At the mention of me coming to
Windward, Grandfather almost had an attack.

556
00:35:40,734 --> 00:35:42,387
You feel your mother
never would have left him?

557
00:35:42,411 --> 00:35:43,642
No, never.

558
00:35:43,808 --> 00:35:46,694
Yet she did when she married,
and he seemed to survive very nicely.

559
00:35:46,812 --> 00:35:48,019
He was younger then.

560
00:35:48,937 --> 00:35:51,202
So you're going to turn into
one of these dim little ladies...

561
00:35:51,227 --> 00:35:53,271
who fill hot-water bottles
for elderly relatives.

562
00:35:53,693 --> 00:35:56,863
- Good-bye, Stella Meredith.
- I'm not now.

563
00:35:56,988 --> 00:35:58,657
You're here now.

564
00:35:58,823 --> 00:36:02,160
That's practically the nicest
sentence that ever was spoken.

565
00:36:02,327 --> 00:36:04,776
Would you and your sister be
in if I came to Windward tonight?

566
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:05,959
Yes.

567
00:36:06,414 --> 00:36:08,875
Supper's at 8:00, but please
come as early as you can.

568
00:36:11,436 --> 00:36:13,630
Bob down.
He's passing the end of the lane.

569
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:17,759
He's gone.

570
00:36:18,843 --> 00:36:20,679
How will I ever
get to church?

571
00:36:20,845 --> 00:36:23,306
Sit on the floor,
and I'll drive you past him.

572
00:36:27,977 --> 00:36:29,854
Drive to the side gate, please.

573
00:36:30,021 --> 00:36:31,564
Yes.

574
00:36:44,202 --> 00:36:46,913
- Like a lift, Commander?
- No, thank you.

575
00:36:52,085 --> 00:36:54,003
Oh! What a moment!

576
00:36:54,129 --> 00:36:58,049
- Were you scared?
- Yes, but it was wonderful.

577
00:37:10,562 --> 00:37:13,022
Well, good-bye.
Say a little prayer for me.

578
00:37:14,441 --> 00:37:17,902
Golly! How am I ever going
to feel meek enough for church?

579
00:37:19,654 --> 00:37:21,781
Oh, Stella.

580
00:37:21,906 --> 00:37:23,825
Here's your prayer book
and purse.

581
00:37:23,950 --> 00:37:26,619
- Good-bye.
- Good-bye.

582
00:37:26,745 --> 00:37:32,000
♪ Are like an evening gone ♪

583
00:37:33,084 --> 00:37:36,337
♪ Short as the watch ♪

584
00:37:36,463 --> 00:37:40,258
♪ That ends the night ♪

585
00:37:49,601 --> 00:37:52,145
Thank you,
Mrs. Carlton, Colonel.

586
00:37:52,270 --> 00:37:53,897
- Until next Sunday.
- Yes.

587
00:37:54,022 --> 00:37:55,899
- Good-bye.
- Good-bye.

588
00:37:57,442 --> 00:38:00,320
You seem very silent, Stella.

589
00:38:00,445 --> 00:38:03,239
What have you against
the Fitzgeralds, Grandfather?

590
00:38:03,364 --> 00:38:05,533
Well, they're hardly
our sort.

591
00:38:06,951 --> 00:38:09,454
I've decided to make
friends with them.

592
00:38:09,621 --> 00:38:11,498
You'll do no such thing.

593
00:38:14,042 --> 00:38:15,919
Why do you say that,
Grandfather?

594
00:38:16,044 --> 00:38:18,963
I do not consider it suitable
for you to visit Windward House.

595
00:38:19,088 --> 00:38:22,217
- Not suitable?
- I can't discuss the matter.

596
00:38:22,342 --> 00:38:25,929
- That's all the reason I'm going to get?
- It will have to suffice, yes.

597
00:38:26,054 --> 00:38:29,390
No, Grandfather.
I'm 20, and I'm —

598
00:38:29,516 --> 00:38:32,435
and it's time I stopped living
somebody else's life.

599
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:36,356
- I shall go to Windward whenever I please.
- Did you hear what I said?

600
00:38:36,481 --> 00:38:39,609
It isn't any good, Grandfather.
I'm on strike.

601
00:38:39,734 --> 00:38:42,070
Stella, go to your room.

602
00:38:42,195 --> 00:38:44,906
No use trying to lock me in.
There isn't any key.

603
00:38:45,031 --> 00:38:46,991
Now don't be impertinent.

604
00:38:50,411 --> 00:38:52,872
- Hello, Annie.
- Dinner will be late, miss.

605
00:38:52,997 --> 00:38:55,250
I'm having ever such trouble
with the lamb.

606
00:38:55,375 --> 00:38:57,335
You'd better tell
the commander.

607
00:39:02,222 --> 00:39:05,350
Yes, it's very urgent.
Will you try to hurry the call?

608
00:39:05,924 --> 00:39:07,189
Thank you.

609
00:39:07,512 --> 00:39:09,097
I'm telephoning.
Close that door.

610
00:39:09,222 --> 00:39:13,226
It's just that dinner will be late, sir.
It's the lamb being awkward.

611
00:39:13,351 --> 00:39:16,646
I won't be here for dinner.
And take some to Stella on a tray.

612
00:39:17,771 --> 00:39:19,638
<i>And close that door!</i>

613
00:39:24,654 --> 00:39:26,781
May I speak
to Miss Holloway?

614
00:39:31,327 --> 00:39:34,998
It's a trunk call, Miss Holloway.
A Commander Beech.

615
00:39:35,123 --> 00:39:36,624
Thank you.

616
00:39:39,210 --> 00:39:41,337
Yes, Commander Beech?

617
00:39:41,462 --> 00:39:44,757
I want to consult you
about Stella, Miss Holloway.

618
00:39:44,883 --> 00:39:46,843
It's a matter
of the utmost urgency.

619
00:39:46,968 --> 00:39:49,137
I can be with you
late this afternoon.

620
00:39:49,262 --> 00:39:51,180
I can't see you
till this evening...

621
00:39:51,306 --> 00:39:53,892
but I shall be glad
to put you up for the night.

622
00:39:54,058 --> 00:39:56,102
Isn't it a little late
to consult me about Stella?

623
00:39:56,227 --> 00:39:59,564
Yes, I know that,
but I beg you to help me now.

624
00:39:59,731 --> 00:40:03,151
You're the only human being
in the world to whom I can turn.

625
00:40:03,276 --> 00:40:06,029
The only person
who wouldn't think me demented...

626
00:40:06,154 --> 00:40:09,574
because I believe a house
can be filled with malignity —

627
00:40:09,741 --> 00:40:12,327
malignity directed
against a certain child.

628
00:40:14,746 --> 00:40:16,706
The dining room
isn't finished yet.

629
00:40:16,831 --> 00:40:19,626
How glad this house must be
to be lived in again.

630
00:40:19,751 --> 00:40:21,878
I must dash back to Lizzie.
We're fighting...

631
00:40:22,003 --> 00:40:24,380
over how much sherry
you put in a tipsy pudding.

632
00:40:24,505 --> 00:40:26,466
She wants to make it
dead drunk.

633
00:40:26,591 --> 00:40:29,469
- Do you like tipsy pudding?
- I think I like everything to eat.

634
00:40:29,594 --> 00:40:32,003
Show her the rest
of the house before it's dark.

635
00:40:32,526 --> 00:40:34,386
You've really never been
here since you were three?

636
00:40:34,448 --> 00:40:35,600
Not inside.

637
00:40:35,725 --> 00:40:39,103
But I walked here once when I was
ten and peered in at the windows.

638
00:40:39,228 --> 00:40:41,105
There was
a stupendous row...

639
00:40:41,230 --> 00:40:44,275
and the next week I got packed off
to a school in Brussels.

640
00:40:44,442 --> 00:40:47,111
- Did your grandfather give you reasons?
- “Reasons”?

641
00:40:47,236 --> 00:40:51,074
If I'd ever been reasoned with,
I might have been a better child.

642
00:40:52,116 --> 00:40:54,243
My old nursery's
through there, isn't it?

643
00:40:54,369 --> 00:40:56,579
I should think so.
It had nursery wallpaper.

644
00:40:57,872 --> 00:41:01,542
How pretty
your sister's made it!

645
00:41:07,590 --> 00:41:09,467
What is it?

646
00:41:09,592 --> 00:41:11,886
Something I'd forgotten.

647
00:41:12,011 --> 00:41:13,972
When I was little...

648
00:41:14,097 --> 00:41:16,391
I used to have a dream
about this room.

649
00:41:16,516 --> 00:41:18,101
You did?

650
00:41:18,226 --> 00:41:21,020
I'd be lying here,
and it'd be dark...

651
00:41:21,145 --> 00:41:24,148
and cold and frightening.

652
00:41:24,315 --> 00:41:28,236
And then...
a little flame would come —

653
00:41:28,361 --> 00:41:31,739
just a tiny point
of light so big —

654
00:41:31,864 --> 00:41:34,909
and yet suddenly
everything would be...

655
00:41:35,034 --> 00:41:37,829
warm and light
and peaceful.

656
00:41:39,205 --> 00:41:40,832
And then...

657
00:41:40,999 --> 00:41:44,043
someone would come and put
the flame out, and I'd be terrified.

658
00:41:44,168 --> 00:41:46,379
Perhaps your mother used
to bring you a nightlight.

659
00:41:46,504 --> 00:41:48,464
But who'd take it out?

660
00:41:51,092 --> 00:41:53,803
May I see the studio
before it's dark?

661
00:41:57,890 --> 00:42:01,144
It's rather messy in here.
I was thinking of skipping this.

662
00:42:02,478 --> 00:42:05,356
This is where my father
painted my mother's picture.

663
00:42:07,025 --> 00:42:09,027
Strange to think
of them here.

664
00:42:11,863 --> 00:42:15,867
My father would have his easel
to the light, wouldn't he?

665
00:42:15,992 --> 00:42:19,217
And perhaps my mother would sit
there in her soft, white dress.

666
00:42:20,163 --> 00:42:22,487
But sometimes, of course,
he'd paint the other one.

667
00:42:22,565 --> 00:42:23,468
“The other one”?

668
00:42:23,584 --> 00:42:26,711
He had a model, you know.
A foreign girl.

669
00:42:26,836 --> 00:42:29,881
I've never been able
to find out much about her.

670
00:42:30,006 --> 00:42:33,051
People get awfully
hush-hush when I ask them.

671
00:42:33,176 --> 00:42:35,261
Between you and me
and the grand piano...

672
00:42:35,386 --> 00:42:38,222
I suspect Father
was a bit of a bad hat.

673
00:42:38,347 --> 00:42:42,393
- Artistic temperament?
- Very artistic, I'm afraid.

674
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,271
But sometimes, you know,
it's quite a comfort to me.

675
00:42:45,396 --> 00:42:49,067
- In what way?
- If Father had been as good as Mother...

676
00:42:49,192 --> 00:42:51,944
think how good
I'd have been.

677
00:42:52,070 --> 00:42:55,031
It's getting almost too dark
to see you properly.

678
00:43:04,874 --> 00:43:07,418
Won't you play something?

679
00:43:07,543 --> 00:43:09,670
It's about time
you asked me that.

680
00:43:55,007 --> 00:43:56,467
Oh, please go on.

681
00:43:56,634 --> 00:43:58,719
Just a second.

682
00:43:58,845 --> 00:44:01,305
- You made that up?
- Yes.

683
00:44:01,472 --> 00:44:03,558
- But you must be brilliant!
- Oh, dazzling.

684
00:44:03,683 --> 00:44:05,560
People have
to wear sunglasses.

685
00:44:05,685 --> 00:44:07,103
What's it called?

686
00:44:07,228 --> 00:44:08,855
It's a serenade.

687
00:44:08,980 --> 00:44:11,149
“To Stella by Starlight.”

688
00:44:11,274 --> 00:44:14,402
- You mean, this Stella?
- Mm-hmm.

689
00:44:14,527 --> 00:44:17,655
But it's the most exciting thing
that's ever happened to me!

690
00:44:17,780 --> 00:44:19,407
Is it?

691
00:44:19,532 --> 00:44:20,992
Please go on.

692
00:44:28,708 --> 00:44:31,419
You see, this is
the only way I can paint you.

693
00:44:32,670 --> 00:44:35,214
Some black keys
and some white...

694
00:44:35,339 --> 00:44:38,176
and fingers that are
much too clumsy...

695
00:44:38,301 --> 00:44:40,178
but you're in it somehow.

696
00:44:57,153 --> 00:45:00,740
It's gone awfully sad.
Why have you changed it?

697
00:45:00,865 --> 00:45:02,825
It just came out that way.

698
00:45:15,504 --> 00:45:17,215
What's the matter?

699
00:45:17,381 --> 00:45:19,383
What is it, Stella?
You're trembling.

700
00:45:19,508 --> 00:45:23,512
I was wicked. How could I ever
have laughed in her house?

701
00:45:23,638 --> 00:45:26,057
But it's my house now,
Pam's and mine.

702
00:45:26,224 --> 00:45:29,518
But she was so young,
and she died so cruelly.

703
00:45:32,188 --> 00:45:33,856
Stella!

704
00:45:35,566 --> 00:45:36,943
Stella!

705
00:45:39,403 --> 00:45:42,240
- Rick, what is it?
- I don't know. It's that blasted room!

706
00:45:44,242 --> 00:45:45,743
Stella, stop!

707
00:45:50,790 --> 00:45:52,083
Stella!

708
00:45:54,210 --> 00:45:56,254
For heaven's sake, Stella!

709
00:45:56,379 --> 00:45:58,798
- What's the matter, Rick?
- You were going over the edge.

710
00:45:58,923 --> 00:46:01,384
- Was I?
- If I hadn't caught you.

711
00:46:01,509 --> 00:46:04,178
I hadn't any sense
of danger at all.

712
00:46:04,303 --> 00:46:05,721
Look.

713
00:46:05,846 --> 00:46:10,101
<i>I think this is where my mother fell.
By the dead tree.</i>

714
00:46:11,310 --> 00:46:12,895
Are you all right?

715
00:46:13,020 --> 00:46:16,399
Quite, thanks,
except dying of hunger.

716
00:46:16,524 --> 00:46:19,777
Then you must come
and get some food.

717
00:46:19,902 --> 00:46:22,780
Do you know this is
our very first party in this house?

718
00:46:22,905 --> 00:46:24,782
- Is it?
- Shall we sing her the song?

719
00:46:24,907 --> 00:46:27,743
- His introduction to music.
- ♪ La ♪

720
00:46:27,868 --> 00:46:31,914
♪ Wee chickabirdie, tra la la
laid an egg on the vundysull ♪

721
00:46:32,039 --> 00:46:35,543
♪ The vundysull began to crack
Wee chickabirdie, la, la, la ♪

722
00:46:35,668 --> 00:46:37,097
♪ Wee chickabirdie — ♪

723
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:41,632
Stay here.

724
00:46:45,136 --> 00:46:47,888
Lizzie, where are you?
What's the matter?

725
00:46:48,014 --> 00:46:51,142
<i>Mr. Roderick!
Mr. Roderick!</i>

726
00:46:55,938 --> 00:46:57,857
What is it, Lizzie?
Are you hurt?

727
00:46:57,982 --> 00:47:00,651
The studio door —

728
00:47:00,818 --> 00:47:03,446
there's something there.

729
00:47:03,571 --> 00:47:05,865
<i>Look, Lizzie,
there's nothing there.</i>

730
00:47:05,990 --> 00:47:09,452
There was!
I saw it with me own two eyes!

731
00:47:09,577 --> 00:47:11,078
What?

732
00:47:11,203 --> 00:47:14,790
It was like a mist —
a crawling mist.

733
00:47:14,915 --> 00:47:17,543
You imagined it just because
you heard the house was haunted.

734
00:47:17,668 --> 00:47:20,004
I'd heard nothing of the sort,
Mr. Roderick.

735
00:47:20,129 --> 00:47:23,257
Holy saints!
Are you tellin' me it is?

736
00:47:23,382 --> 00:47:25,343
<i>For heaven's sake, Rick,
what is it?</i>

737
00:47:25,468 --> 00:47:27,887
Oh, Lizzie's dreamed up
a ghost for herself.

738
00:47:28,012 --> 00:47:29,448
Come along, Lizzie.

739
00:47:30,542 --> 00:47:31,932
Darling Lizzie.

740
00:47:32,058 --> 00:47:34,393
I'd just come upstairs
to turn down the beds.

741
00:47:34,518 --> 00:47:37,521
There it stood by the studio door,
looking down at me.

742
00:47:37,688 --> 00:47:41,359
- A woman, it was.
- Four steps back, it was just a mist.

743
00:47:41,484 --> 00:47:43,527
<i>'Twas a woman.
I swear it.</i>

744
00:47:43,694 --> 00:47:45,738
<i>The ghost of a woman!</i>

745
00:47:45,863 --> 00:47:48,824
<i>Come and sit down.
You'll be all right in a minute.</i>

746
00:47:55,956 --> 00:47:57,625
Have some sherry, Lizzie.

747
00:47:57,750 --> 00:47:59,418
Just a drop.

748
00:47:59,543 --> 00:48:01,879
I'll not sleep in this house
another night, Mr. Roderick.

749
00:48:02,004 --> 00:48:04,882
- Come now, Lizzie.
- I will not! I'd sooner die.

750
00:48:05,007 --> 00:48:07,676
She can go
to the Jessup farm.

751
00:48:07,802 --> 00:48:09,762
What's happened to Stella?

752
00:48:11,847 --> 00:48:13,831
<i>She was with me
when I came in.</i>

753
00:48:14,725 --> 00:48:16,268
Stella?

754
00:48:20,898 --> 00:48:22,900
Stella, where are you?

755
00:48:24,902 --> 00:48:26,904
<i>Stella, are you in the house?</i>

756
00:48:32,201 --> 00:48:33,702
Stella!

757
00:48:37,206 --> 00:48:39,583
Pamela! Pamela!

758
00:48:43,963 --> 00:48:45,756
Stella, darling.

759
00:48:47,466 --> 00:48:49,760
Yes, Rick?
What's happened?

760
00:48:51,262 --> 00:48:53,431
- Rick, what is it?
- She's in a dead faint.

761
00:48:53,556 --> 00:48:55,850
- This room — it's like an icebox.
- Colder.

762
00:48:56,934 --> 00:48:58,936
We'll have to get a doctor.

763
00:48:59,061 --> 00:49:01,313
There's one at the first house
in the village.

764
00:49:03,399 --> 00:49:05,109
That's the girl.

765
00:49:05,276 --> 00:49:08,112
Well, what kind
of bogey did you see?

766
00:49:08,237 --> 00:49:09,947
I didn't see anything.

767
00:49:10,072 --> 00:49:12,908
Fainted out of sheer
cussedness, huh?

768
00:49:13,033 --> 00:49:15,828
I can only remember
the cold coming.

769
00:49:15,953 --> 00:49:17,621
Hello, Stella.

770
00:49:20,541 --> 00:49:23,627
- Hello.
<i>- You suddenly felt cold?</i>

771
00:49:25,421 --> 00:49:27,506
It wasn't just that.

772
00:49:27,631 --> 00:49:29,717
The room went cold,
and I was frightened.

773
00:49:29,842 --> 00:49:32,303
Well, you just forget
about it for a bit.

774
00:49:32,470 --> 00:49:34,388
Miss Fitzgerald's got
some soup for you.

775
00:49:34,513 --> 00:49:36,849
See if you can get her
to take some.

776
00:49:48,444 --> 00:49:51,322
She'll do all right,
but it's quite a nasty case of shock.

777
00:49:51,447 --> 00:49:53,824
- That's all? You're quite sure?
- Sit down.

778
00:49:53,949 --> 00:49:56,118
- You see, I brought her here.
- Mm-hmm.

779
00:49:57,244 --> 00:49:59,079
Take that neat.

780
00:49:59,205 --> 00:50:01,665
Can, uh —
Can she stay the night here?

781
00:50:01,832 --> 00:50:04,502
Oh, yes. But suppose
that spook starts howling?

782
00:50:04,668 --> 00:50:06,086
Oh, your spook.

783
00:50:06,212 --> 00:50:09,423
It's just an echo from a cave probably,
but it sounds like a spook.

784
00:50:09,548 --> 00:50:11,675
I'd rather risk it
than move her tonight.

785
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:14,178
There was some rather queer
business earlier this evening.

786
00:50:14,303 --> 00:50:18,224
The cliff is so close, and she walked
right to the edge. If I hadn't caught her —

787
00:50:18,349 --> 00:50:21,936
We'll keep a close watch.
Did she take her soup?

788
00:50:22,061 --> 00:50:24,230
Eight spoonfuls
and then drifted off to sleep.

789
00:50:24,355 --> 00:50:26,398
Splendid.
She'll sleep for hours now.

790
00:50:26,524 --> 00:50:29,902
- We'll keep on watch here.
- You'd better go to bed, Miss Fitzgerald.

791
00:50:30,027 --> 00:50:33,072
- You're looking all in.
- I'd rather watch with you.

792
00:50:33,197 --> 00:50:35,533
- Would you like some coffee?
- Thanks.

793
00:50:35,699 --> 00:50:39,245
Pam, who do you think's
moved in with Dr. Scott?

794
00:50:39,370 --> 00:50:40,996
- Our Bobby.
- No!

795
00:50:41,121 --> 00:50:44,959
I found the poor dog in the street.
He was in a pitiable state of nerves.

796
00:50:45,084 --> 00:50:46,669
- How is he now?
- Fine.

797
00:50:46,794 --> 00:50:50,214
- Bobby was the first to see the ghost.
- See? Pamela believes it.

798
00:50:50,381 --> 00:50:52,508
Rick, stop hiding
your head in the sand.

799
00:50:52,633 --> 00:50:54,718
You heard
the sounds last night.

800
00:50:54,843 --> 00:50:56,887
Lizzie's been half frightened
out of her wits...

801
00:50:57,012 --> 00:50:59,265
and Stella's been
in deadly danger twice.

802
00:50:59,390 --> 00:51:01,684
Everyone in the village
knows the house is strange.

803
00:51:01,809 --> 00:51:03,727
I expected
support from you.

804
00:51:03,852 --> 00:51:07,398
You must tell us everything you know
about the place after I've made the coffee.

805
00:51:07,523 --> 00:51:09,525
Unfortunately
I'm a newcomer to Biddlecombe.

806
00:51:09,650 --> 00:51:11,860
I've only lived here
12 years.

807
00:51:15,155 --> 00:51:17,992
It's not ancient history to us.
Please go on.

808
00:51:18,117 --> 00:51:19,910
The model's name
was Carmel.

809
00:51:20,035 --> 00:51:22,580
She was a Spanish gypsy,
and a thorough bad lot.

810
00:51:22,705 --> 00:51:24,498
So was Meredith,
from what I can gather.

811
00:51:24,623 --> 00:51:25,955
Didn't Mrs. Meredith suspect?

812
00:51:25,979 --> 00:51:28,127
She must have.
The thing was an open scandal.

813
00:51:28,252 --> 00:51:31,630
The girl and he'd have been stoned
out of the village if not for Mary Meredith.

814
00:51:31,755 --> 00:51:33,632
She was
very much admired.

815
00:51:33,757 --> 00:51:35,801
I suppose she just
accepted the situation.

816
00:51:35,926 --> 00:51:38,262
And she's still sobbing
her heart out about it.

817
00:51:38,387 --> 00:51:41,432
- Where's Carmel now?
- Dead. She died in this very house...

818
00:51:41,557 --> 00:51:45,477
a week after Mary fell from the cliff trying
to save her from suicide. Ironic, wasn't it?

819
00:51:45,603 --> 00:51:47,646
Is it known why the girl
tried to kill herself?

820
00:51:47,771 --> 00:51:49,398
<i>Meredith's said
to have tired of her.</i>

821
00:51:49,523 --> 00:51:53,485
Think of it — those two women
struggling on the cliff.

822
00:51:53,611 --> 00:51:55,988
I wonder if Mary's death
could have been murder.

823
00:51:56,113 --> 00:51:57,740
It's been hinted at.

824
00:51:57,865 --> 00:52:01,368
The whole story was dug up and
embroidered when Stella's father died.

825
00:52:01,493 --> 00:52:03,454
<i>- When was that?</i>
- Three years ago, abroad.

826
00:52:03,579 --> 00:52:05,331
He never came back
to Windward.

827
00:52:05,456 --> 00:52:07,416
All of them
dead with their secrets.

828
00:52:07,541 --> 00:52:10,210
One of them's not quite
dead enough for me.

829
00:52:10,336 --> 00:52:12,838
Don't say that
about the poor soul.

830
00:52:12,963 --> 00:52:16,508
If a spirit comes back,
it's for some particular purpose.

831
00:52:16,634 --> 00:52:20,638
- That's my sister's special crotchet.
- We've got to find out what it is.

832
00:52:20,763 --> 00:52:24,016
I wish I knew some more,
but I'm afraid I don't.

833
00:52:24,141 --> 00:52:27,603
- What time's your wailing lady due?
- About dawn.

834
00:52:27,728 --> 00:52:31,315
We ought to know
each other pretty well by then.

835
00:52:33,067 --> 00:52:36,320
Twenty-one hand.
I'm out.

836
00:52:36,445 --> 00:52:39,698
- Is it my deal?
- It was, two hours ago.

837
00:52:40,939 --> 00:52:42,229
5:30.

838
00:52:42,576 --> 00:52:45,412
<i>Yes, Moaning Martha
seems to have missed her cue.</i>

839
00:52:47,498 --> 00:52:50,167
Rick, have you brought
some more flowers in?

840
00:52:50,292 --> 00:52:51,919
<i>No. Why?</i>

841
00:52:52,044 --> 00:52:55,047
Don't you notice the scent?
It's overpowering.

842
00:52:55,570 --> 00:52:56,968
<i>Extraordinary.</i>

843
00:52:57,675 --> 00:52:59,539
<i>Heliotrope, isn't it?</i>

844
00:53:00,135 --> 00:53:01,273
No.

845
00:53:02,054 --> 00:53:03,578
No, it's mimosa.

846
00:53:05,968 --> 00:53:07,184
There's a light!

847
00:53:07,351 --> 00:53:08,914
Where did that come from?

848
00:53:09,601 --> 00:53:11,230
It's like a night-light.

849
00:53:19,905 --> 00:53:22,741
She's gone!

850
00:53:22,866 --> 00:53:24,535
Rick, the window!

851
00:53:25,869 --> 00:53:28,414
<i>- What is it?
- Where are you, Stella?</i>

852
00:53:39,174 --> 00:53:41,218
Don't be afraid, Stella.

853
00:53:42,553 --> 00:53:46,223
- “Afraid”?
- Well, we were, a little.

854
00:53:46,390 --> 00:53:48,809
I wanted to see
the dawn with her.

855
00:53:48,934 --> 00:53:50,352
“Her”?

856
00:53:51,478 --> 00:53:53,772
Don't you know
who it is in your house?

857
00:53:53,897 --> 00:53:55,899
- It's my mother.
- You saw her?

858
00:53:57,234 --> 00:53:59,611
I didn't see her...

859
00:53:59,737 --> 00:54:02,573
but when I woke,
she was here in the room.

860
00:54:02,740 --> 00:54:04,825
It was full of her scent.

861
00:54:04,950 --> 00:54:07,286
I could feel
her presence everywhere.

862
00:54:08,912 --> 00:54:11,582
And there was something else...

863
00:54:11,707 --> 00:54:14,626
something I've never
known in my whole life.

864
00:54:14,752 --> 00:54:15,931
<i>What?</i>

865
00:54:16,295 --> 00:54:20,132
The knowledge that...
someone loved me very dearly.

866
00:54:20,853 --> 00:54:23,635
Come on, young Stella.
I'll take you home.

867
00:54:23,939 --> 00:54:25,330
But I don't want to go.

868
00:54:25,457 --> 00:54:27,697
<i>Sorry, but I've got to get
some sleep, you know.</i>

869
00:54:27,908 --> 00:54:30,369
- But I can come back?
- No.

870
00:54:31,018 --> 00:54:34,229
What do you mean? You couldn't
want to keep me away from her.

871
00:54:34,354 --> 00:54:37,149
Stella, remember how ill
you were last night?

872
00:54:37,274 --> 00:54:39,276
But that was
nothing to do with her.

873
00:54:39,443 --> 00:54:42,279
I think I was just frightened
after what Lizzie said.

874
00:54:42,404 --> 00:54:44,573
I tell you, my mother
would never hurt me.

875
00:54:44,698 --> 00:54:47,242
I shan't be afraid again.
Please.

876
00:54:50,037 --> 00:54:51,663
I'm sorry.

877
00:54:51,789 --> 00:54:53,957
It's just that
my knees are wobbly.

878
00:54:54,124 --> 00:54:56,335
Come along.
Dr. Scott will drive you home.

879
00:55:11,725 --> 00:55:14,895
I wonder what I've done to her,
bringing her here.

880
00:55:15,020 --> 00:55:16,730
Don't blame yourself.

881
00:55:16,855 --> 00:55:20,484
But that look in her eyes,
that terrible happiness.

882
00:55:23,862 --> 00:55:26,949
Wait a minute. Perhaps
she's nearer right than we are.

883
00:55:27,074 --> 00:55:30,327
- She's what?
- Perhaps she's right in being happy.

884
00:55:30,494 --> 00:55:34,164
Supposing Mary Meredith's spirit
had been searching for Stella...

885
00:55:34,331 --> 00:55:37,209
and now that it's found her,
it's found peace.

886
00:55:38,669 --> 00:55:41,588
Suppose we haven't
a ghost anymore.

887
00:55:41,713 --> 00:55:44,091
- Where are you going?
- To the studio.

888
00:55:44,216 --> 00:55:46,468
How has it always
shown itself in the past?

889
00:55:46,593 --> 00:55:50,514
Sobbing sounds downstairs, and
cold and depression in the studio.

890
00:55:50,681 --> 00:55:54,017
There wasn't any sobbing tonight,
only warmth and fragrance.

891
00:55:54,184 --> 00:55:56,728
- But why the studio?
- I'll know in there.

892
00:55:56,854 --> 00:56:00,357
I'll know whether it's a decent,
human room. Won't you?

893
00:56:05,529 --> 00:56:07,823
It may not be
quite so cold, really.

894
00:56:07,955 --> 00:56:11,000
Oh, stop it, Pam.
It's clammy and rotten.

895
00:56:11,118 --> 00:56:13,076
Whatever it is,
it's in here with us.

896
00:56:14,037 --> 00:56:15,396
Let's get out.

897
00:56:31,388 --> 00:56:34,106
Mary Meredith, please.

898
00:56:35,142 --> 00:56:38,770
Please. We're sorry
you had to suffer.

899
00:56:38,896 --> 00:56:42,316
Isn't that enough?
What more do you want?

900
00:56:43,483 --> 00:56:45,903
You were right
about one thing, Pam:

901
00:56:46,028 --> 00:56:48,739
We haven't a ghost anymore.
We've got two of them.

902
00:56:52,784 --> 00:56:56,121
- Is Commander Beech at home?
- He won't be back until this evening, sir.

903
00:56:56,246 --> 00:57:00,000
- It's Miss Stella I really want to see.
- Won't you come in? I'll tell her.

904
00:57:00,125 --> 00:57:01,793
Thank you.

905
00:57:05,923 --> 00:57:08,008
Miss Stella's
in her room, sir. I'll —

906
00:57:11,261 --> 00:57:13,472
- Rick.
- Stella.

907
00:57:13,597 --> 00:57:16,099
- I knew you couldn't mean it.
- Mean what?

908
00:57:16,224 --> 00:57:18,435
Haven't you come
to take me to Windward?

909
00:57:18,602 --> 00:57:20,145
No, Stella.

910
00:57:20,270 --> 00:57:22,522
You mustn't go
there again, ever.

911
00:57:23,649 --> 00:57:25,442
Listen, darling...

912
00:57:25,609 --> 00:57:28,862
I've thought this thing out,
and you must go away from here.

913
00:57:28,987 --> 00:57:31,031
- Go away?
- Yes, forever.

914
00:57:31,156 --> 00:57:32,699
You wouldn't care?

915
00:57:32,824 --> 00:57:35,285
Not in the least,
because I'll be coming with you.

916
00:57:35,410 --> 00:57:38,956
It won't be luxury — just the smallest
London flat — but it'll be ours.

917
00:57:39,122 --> 00:57:41,083
And no unseen,
uninvited guests.

918
00:57:41,208 --> 00:57:43,502
- And Windward?
- We'll tear it down and forget it.

919
00:57:43,627 --> 00:57:45,087
And my mother?

920
00:57:45,212 --> 00:57:47,798
But Stella, you're talking
of a dream and a memory.

921
00:57:47,923 --> 00:57:51,301
I'm talking about my mother.
She's been waiting for me.

922
00:57:51,468 --> 00:57:54,805
In some queer sort of way,
I always knew it.

923
00:57:54,930 --> 00:57:58,392
What about me? I was under
the impression you cared for me.

924
00:57:58,517 --> 00:58:00,644
This hasn't anything
to do with you.

925
00:58:00,811 --> 00:58:04,189
You talk about destroying that house.
You'd be tearing me apart.

926
00:58:04,314 --> 00:58:07,985
Stop it, Stella.
Do you care for me or don't you?

927
00:58:08,151 --> 00:58:10,988
I can't think about you,
not while she's out there.

928
00:58:11,154 --> 00:58:12,698
Take me there.

929
00:58:12,823 --> 00:58:16,493
But this is horrible, unhealthy stuff.
Put it out of your mind.

930
00:58:16,660 --> 00:58:18,996
Turn your back on the past
and run — run hard.

931
00:58:19,162 --> 00:58:21,248
I'll go there somehow.

932
00:58:21,373 --> 00:58:24,835
- You won't, I promise you.
- I hate you for that.

933
00:58:26,294 --> 00:58:27,879
Stella.

934
00:58:30,257 --> 00:58:33,176
You shan't make me forget her!
You shan't!

935
00:58:39,016 --> 00:58:40,976
That's enough, Bobby.
That's enough.

936
00:58:41,101 --> 00:58:43,020
You'll get lipstick poisoning.

937
00:58:43,186 --> 00:58:45,522
He's got a passion
for hard-boiled eggs. Did you know?

938
00:58:45,689 --> 00:58:47,190
And turnip tops.

939
00:58:47,315 --> 00:58:49,901
I don't think he has any idea
he's a dog. Not really.

940
00:58:50,027 --> 00:58:53,321
Of course, he thinks he has
a rather odd figure for a man.

941
00:58:53,447 --> 00:58:55,991
I didn't question him very closely
about where he belonged.

942
00:58:56,116 --> 00:58:58,910
I was afraid I might find out.
I'm sorry now.

943
00:58:59,036 --> 00:59:01,872
- Sorry?
- Yes. I should've met you sooner.

944
00:59:02,661 --> 00:59:04,041
<i>Are you there, Scott?</i>

945
00:59:04,259 --> 00:59:05,635
In here.

946
00:59:07,377 --> 00:59:09,463
<i>- Did you see Stella?</i>
- Yes, I did.

947
00:59:09,588 --> 00:59:12,466
You've got to do something.
She's on the edge of a collapse.

948
00:59:12,591 --> 00:59:16,136
You're telling me! This is hardly a
case for a country doctor, you know.

949
00:59:16,261 --> 00:59:18,597
- When does the commander get back?
- Last train tonight.

950
00:59:18,722 --> 00:59:20,891
- Heaven help young Stella then.
- Look here.

951
00:59:21,058 --> 00:59:24,394
Can't you convince her her mother
wouldn't want her to go near that house?

952
00:59:24,561 --> 00:59:28,231
Not I. She's been listening for a
voice that's been still for 17 years.

953
00:59:28,398 --> 00:59:30,275
I can give her a sedative.

954
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:33,153
Why don't we try to get
a message from Mary Meredith?

955
00:59:33,278 --> 00:59:35,155
- Do what?
- We could hold a séance.

956
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:36,448
You're not serious?

957
00:59:36,573 --> 00:59:39,409
That's how the dead are supposed
to communicate with the living.

958
00:59:39,534 --> 00:59:42,829
<i>- According to the idiot fringe.</i>
- You have no right to say that.

959
00:59:42,954 --> 00:59:45,749
Many intelligent people
believe in spiritualism.

960
00:59:45,874 --> 00:59:48,376
- Have you ever been to a séance?
- I have.

961
00:59:48,502 --> 00:59:51,797
Shaded lights, the alphabet laid out on
the table, an upside-down wine glass...

962
00:59:51,922 --> 00:59:55,550
messages from somebody's Uncle
Oswald, how to find a mislaid toothbrush. Oh!

963
00:59:55,675 --> 00:59:59,012
Stop scoffing, Rick.
Not all séances are faked.

964
01:00:00,931 --> 01:00:02,933
All right,
we'll have a séance.

965
01:00:03,058 --> 01:00:06,186
It shouldn't be difficult to move a
glass around and say it's Mary Meredith.

966
01:00:06,311 --> 01:00:08,073
- What do you think?
- Leave me out of this.

967
01:00:08,175 --> 01:00:09,663
I won't let you cheat Stella.

968
01:00:09,784 --> 01:00:12,067
What do you expect
Mary Meredith to tell her?

969
01:00:12,192 --> 01:00:14,945
“Entrust your life to a tall, dark man,
excruciatingly handsome”?

970
01:00:15,112 --> 01:00:18,782
Crikey, no! I want to set Stella's mind
at rest. She's just about torn in two.

971
01:00:18,949 --> 01:00:22,285
I will say this: Unless the conflict
inside her is stopped...

972
01:00:22,452 --> 01:00:24,329
it may even affect
her reason.

973
01:00:24,454 --> 01:00:26,498
Here's a message
that might do it:

974
01:00:26,623 --> 01:00:30,377
“Stella, this is your mother. Since
I've found you, I've found peace.

975
01:00:30,502 --> 01:00:32,420
Stay away
from Windward House.”

976
01:00:32,546 --> 01:00:34,881
- Stella would have to be at the séance.
- Naturally.

977
01:00:35,006 --> 01:00:37,884
It'll have to be at Windward,
and it's dangerous for her.

978
01:00:38,009 --> 01:00:41,972
- We'd be with her all the time.
- All right. It may be worth a try.

979
01:00:52,065 --> 01:00:54,860
The important thing is that
we should all believe.

980
01:00:54,985 --> 01:00:58,655
- Isn't it, Dr. Scott?
- So I understand. What now?

981
01:00:58,822 --> 01:01:01,533
Everybody puts
a finger on the glass.

982
01:01:04,828 --> 01:01:07,164
Perhaps you should ask
some questions, Stella.

983
01:01:09,833 --> 01:01:11,835
Is anybody here?

984
01:01:25,223 --> 01:01:27,100
Are you my mother?

985
01:01:32,772 --> 01:01:35,692
You don't want me to stay away
from Windward, do you, Mother?

986
01:01:44,784 --> 01:01:49,122
<i>Oh, I knew it, Mother.
And I want to be near you too.</i>

987
01:01:49,247 --> 01:01:52,375
Is that why you stay here —
just to be near me?

988
01:01:56,504 --> 01:01:58,465
But you're holding it, Rick.

989
01:01:58,590 --> 01:02:00,550
And you, Dr. Scott.
Holding it hard.

990
01:02:00,717 --> 01:02:02,802
Take your fingers off.

991
01:02:05,472 --> 01:02:09,017
Is that your reason, darling?
Just to be near me?

992
01:02:16,942 --> 01:02:18,693
But what else?

993
01:02:22,572 --> 01:02:24,824
I...

994
01:02:24,950 --> 01:02:26,910
G...

995
01:02:28,161 --> 01:02:30,538
U, A —

996
01:02:30,664 --> 01:02:32,249
“I guard.”

997
01:02:32,415 --> 01:02:35,418
You mean, you guard me
from some danger?

998
01:02:38,755 --> 01:02:40,298
But what?

999
01:02:42,258 --> 01:02:43,385
C...

1000
01:02:45,262 --> 01:02:46,763
A...

1001
01:02:47,931 --> 01:02:51,476
R, M —

1002
01:02:51,601 --> 01:02:53,039
“Carmel.”

1003
01:03:04,030 --> 01:03:05,782
- That's enough.
- It is indeed.

1004
01:03:05,949 --> 01:03:07,867
Let's go
into the other room.

1005
01:03:10,453 --> 01:03:12,789
- Stella, what is it?
- Are you ill, Stella?

1006
01:03:12,914 --> 01:03:15,166
Quiet.
Leave her alone.

1007
01:03:15,292 --> 01:03:17,294
<i>Oigan. ¡Oigan!</i>

1008
01:03:17,460 --> 01:03:19,796
- Stop her, Scott!
- She's in a trance.

1009
01:03:19,963 --> 01:03:23,550
I saw this happen once before
at a séance. I thought it was a fake.

1010
01:03:23,675 --> 01:03:26,136
- But this isn't.
- I know. It's dangerous.

1011
01:03:26,261 --> 01:03:28,305
- May I ask her some questions?
- No!

1012
01:03:28,471 --> 01:03:30,724
It may be best to try
and reach her mind.

1013
01:03:30,849 --> 01:03:33,643
Now keep your voice
quiet and reassuring.

1014
01:03:35,603 --> 01:03:37,897
Are you Mary Meredith,
Stella's mother?

1015
01:03:38,023 --> 01:03:40,984
<i>Ella no e'. ¡Ella no e'!</i>

1016
01:03:41,109 --> 01:03:42,652
<i>¡No le crean na'!</i>

1017
01:03:42,819 --> 01:03:44,946
<i>¡No le pongan oído
que está mintiendo!</i>

1018
01:03:45,071 --> 01:03:46,563
Don't ask her any more!

1019
01:03:49,031 --> 01:03:50,827
<i>That's the doorbell.</i>

1020
01:03:50,952 --> 01:03:53,496
<i>Shall I answer it?
Lizzie's at the Jessups'.</i>

1021
01:03:53,663 --> 01:03:56,249
No. Don't move until
she's over the worst of this.

1022
01:03:56,374 --> 01:03:59,169
<i>¡So' ladrona!
¡Ladrona de mi cariño!</i>

1023
01:03:59,294 --> 01:04:02,339
<i>- Spanish, isn't it, Scott?
- I don't know.</i>

1024
01:04:02,464 --> 01:04:05,383
Rick, the mimosa scent!

1025
01:04:05,508 --> 01:04:08,011
The room's full of it!

1026
01:04:08,178 --> 01:04:10,221
Mary Meredith's
in here too.

1027
01:04:13,725 --> 01:04:15,685
The cold.

1028
01:04:15,852 --> 01:04:18,146
It's never been cold
in here.

1029
01:04:18,271 --> 01:04:20,648
The candles!
Look at the candles!

1030
01:04:27,572 --> 01:04:29,782
<i>- I'd better answer it.</i>
- All right.

1031
01:04:30,992 --> 01:04:32,493
Stop, Pamela!

1032
01:04:33,078 --> 01:04:34,657
Don't go near that door.

1033
01:04:47,092 --> 01:04:48,732
It's coming toward us!

1034
01:04:58,561 --> 01:05:00,522
What in thunder is this?

1035
01:05:00,647 --> 01:05:03,108
Stella dear,
it's all right now.

1036
01:05:03,233 --> 01:05:04,984
We must get her out.

1037
01:05:05,110 --> 01:05:07,320
What have you been
doing to the child?

1038
01:05:09,447 --> 01:05:12,534
- What's the meaning of this, Dr. Scott?
- I can't explain now.

1039
01:05:12,659 --> 01:05:16,162
- This is incredible behavior!
- Quietly, Stella.

1040
01:05:16,287 --> 01:05:18,957
- There's nothing to be frightened of.
- Control yourself, child!

1041
01:05:19,027 --> 01:05:20,222
Don't speak to her like that!

1042
01:05:20,285 --> 01:05:22,460
You're responsible for this
— you and your meddling.

1043
01:05:22,558 --> 01:05:25,255
And so are you.
Why didn't you tell us the truth?

1044
01:05:25,380 --> 01:05:27,382
- I warned you.
- Only of idle gossip.

1045
01:05:27,507 --> 01:05:31,094
Perhaps you'd like your money back.
You shall have it, the entire purchase price.

1046
01:05:31,219 --> 01:05:33,138
No, thank you, Commander.
I know this now:

1047
01:05:33,263 --> 01:05:37,225
Stella will never be well until this house
is cured. Somehow we're going to cure it.

1048
01:05:37,350 --> 01:05:40,603
Dr. Scott, have the goodness
to drive us home.

1049
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:45,817
There.
Now you'll sleep all right.

1050
01:05:49,821 --> 01:05:51,698
I'll be here
early in the morning.

1051
01:05:51,823 --> 01:05:54,117
Stella is no longer your patient.
Nor am I.

1052
01:05:54,242 --> 01:05:58,204
- But someone must look after her.
- That is not your concern, Dr. Scott.

1053
01:06:04,544 --> 01:06:07,797
- I shall be at your disposal at any hour.
- Thank you.

1054
01:06:10,091 --> 01:06:12,302
<i>Everything will be all right.</i>

1055
01:06:17,557 --> 01:06:19,684
Won't you come in,
Miss Holloway?

1056
01:06:23,271 --> 01:06:25,440
- Is she asleep?
- Not yet.

1057
01:06:34,657 --> 01:06:35,992
Hello, Stella.

1058
01:06:37,368 --> 01:06:38,995
Miss Holloway.

1059
01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:41,748
Go to sleep, Stella.

1060
01:06:49,756 --> 01:06:52,634
Dr. Scott tells me
she went into a trance tonight.

1061
01:06:52,759 --> 01:06:54,719
Spoke some words
they thought were Spanish.

1062
01:06:54,844 --> 01:06:56,763
How did she happen
to be at Windward?

1063
01:06:56,888 --> 01:06:59,682
The people who bought the place
are searching into its past.

1064
01:06:59,807 --> 01:07:02,644
- Are they indeed?
- Can you make the child well again?

1065
01:07:02,769 --> 01:07:04,187
I hope so.

1066
01:07:04,312 --> 01:07:07,857
It won't be a short process.
She's far more ill than you imagine.

1067
01:07:07,982 --> 01:07:11,528
She won't want to go with you.
She's never outgrown her fear of you.

1068
01:07:11,653 --> 01:07:14,531
I could've cured it years ago
if you'd let me have her...

1069
01:07:14,656 --> 01:07:16,282
as Mary would have
wished me to.

1070
01:07:16,407 --> 01:07:20,286
Her place was in Mary's home. I've
taught her to be like Mary in every way.

1071
01:07:20,411 --> 01:07:23,998
- How can you say such a thing?
- She's not so beautiful, of course.

1072
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:25,740
<i>Mary was a goddess.</i>

1073
01:07:26,125 --> 01:07:29,462
<i>Her skin was radiant,
and that bright, bright hair.</i>

1074
01:07:30,713 --> 01:07:32,896
How this room
brings her back to me.

1075
01:07:34,050 --> 01:07:36,386
The nights we sat talking
in front of that fireplace...

1076
01:07:36,553 --> 01:07:38,513
planning our whole lives.

1077
01:07:38,638 --> 01:07:41,474
It wasn't flirtations
and dresses we talked about.

1078
01:07:41,599 --> 01:07:44,352
We were
no silly, giggling girls.

1079
01:07:44,477 --> 01:07:46,354
We intended to conquer life.

1080
01:07:46,479 --> 01:07:48,606
You at least did.

1081
01:07:48,731 --> 01:07:51,442
Will you try to take
Mary's place with her now?

1082
01:07:51,568 --> 01:07:53,903
I'll do my best.

1083
01:07:54,070 --> 01:07:56,906
<i>She's asleep.</i>

1084
01:07:57,073 --> 01:07:59,659
If you'll call my chauffeur,
he'll carry her downstairs.

1085
01:07:59,784 --> 01:08:02,078
It will be better for her
to wake at my place.

1086
01:08:03,580 --> 01:08:05,873
I'm deeply grateful to you.

1087
01:08:10,003 --> 01:08:11,921
So they're searching
into the past.

1088
01:08:16,634 --> 01:08:19,387
They shan't ever find out,
my darling.

1089
01:08:19,512 --> 01:08:21,097
I promise you.

1090
01:08:24,342 --> 01:08:26,014
<i>Elizabeth Flynn,
where are yez?</i>

1091
01:08:26,436 --> 01:08:28,123
I'm here, Mr. Roderick.

1092
01:08:28,438 --> 01:08:31,115
And will you please
come here at once?

1093
01:08:31,649 --> 01:08:34,652
Don't we get any breakfast?
What's the matter?

1094
01:08:34,777 --> 01:08:37,780
Oh, that.
That happened last night.

1095
01:08:37,947 --> 01:08:40,325
I am not talking about that.

1096
01:08:40,450 --> 01:08:43,745
- I'm talking about this.
- The anagram letters. Yes, yes.

1097
01:08:43,870 --> 01:08:45,705
Anagrams, is it?

1098
01:08:45,830 --> 01:08:48,541
Don't you try to bluff me,
Mr. Roderick.

1099
01:08:48,666 --> 01:08:51,044
'Tis a heathen device
to call devils out of hell.

1100
01:08:51,169 --> 01:08:54,130
Stop looking at me as though you
were gonna take away my bicycle.

1101
01:08:54,297 --> 01:08:57,842
I will not stay in a house where it
goes on, and that is an “ultimate”!

1102
01:08:57,967 --> 01:09:01,638
Come now, Lizzie. From now on
we're through with all this rubbish.

1103
01:09:01,763 --> 01:09:04,098
- We're going after facts.
<i>- What facts?</i>

1104
01:09:04,223 --> 01:09:05,975
The facts about this
blasted haunting.

1105
01:09:06,142 --> 01:09:08,561
Rick, why burden
Lizzie with this?

1106
01:09:08,686 --> 01:09:12,023
Whisht now, Miss Pam.
Where will we start, Mr. Rick?

1107
01:09:12,148 --> 01:09:14,150
I don't know.
Everybody seems to be dead.

1108
01:09:14,317 --> 01:09:16,944
- The trained nurse isn't.
- What trained nurse?

1109
01:09:17,070 --> 01:09:20,490
She was here when it happened — the
friend of the lady that went over the cliff.

1110
01:09:20,657 --> 01:09:22,325
Where did you hear all this?

1111
01:09:22,492 --> 01:09:25,453
What do you suppose
we talk of at the Jessups'?

1112
01:09:25,578 --> 01:09:28,956
It was the trained nurse that shouted
down to Mr. Jessup on the shore.

1113
01:09:29,082 --> 01:09:32,502
- Was Jessup in on the tragedy?
- He was after some lost sheep.

1114
01:09:32,669 --> 01:09:34,587
The tide was out,
so he went down.

1115
01:09:34,712 --> 01:09:37,840
And as he passed under the
dead tree, he heard a scream.

1116
01:09:37,965 --> 01:09:39,342
- Mrs. Meredith?
- No.

1117
01:09:39,509 --> 01:09:41,886
'Twas the scream
of a terrified child.

1118
01:09:42,011 --> 01:09:45,765
As he ran towards it,
the poor lady came crashing down.

1119
01:09:45,890 --> 01:09:47,809
'Twas then
that the nurse called.

1120
01:09:47,934 --> 01:09:49,727
Lizzie Flynn,
you're a gold mine.

1121
01:09:49,852 --> 01:09:51,979
If we could only get
the name of this nurse.

1122
01:09:52,105 --> 01:09:54,357
Ah, that's easy.
Wait, now.

1123
01:09:56,567 --> 01:09:59,362
- Mr. Jessup?
- Yes, Mrs. Flynn.

1124
01:09:59,487 --> 01:10:01,948
What was the name
of Mrs. Meredith's trained nurse...

1125
01:10:02,073 --> 01:10:04,200
the one that got
so famous and grand?

1126
01:10:04,325 --> 01:10:06,994
- Miss Holloway.
- Aye.

1127
01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:08,746
Miss Holloway.

1128
01:10:08,871 --> 01:10:12,041
She has a big, fine place
of her own now — a hospital, like.

1129
01:10:12,208 --> 01:10:14,502
'Tis on Bodmin Moor.
She calls it...

1130
01:10:14,627 --> 01:10:17,088
the Mary Meredith Retreat.

1131
01:10:27,223 --> 01:10:29,892
- Mr. and Miss Fitzgerald?
- Yes.

1132
01:10:30,059 --> 01:10:32,562
- Won't you come in?
- Thank you.

1133
01:10:38,443 --> 01:10:42,530
Wait in there, please, and I will
announce you to Miss Holloway.

1134
01:11:01,165 --> 01:11:02,925
The place
is quite stunning, isn't it?

1135
01:11:04,579 --> 01:11:05,954
Why are you whispering?

1136
01:11:06,223 --> 01:11:07,524
<i>Why are you?</i>

1137
01:11:29,827 --> 01:11:31,621
A gentleman!

1138
01:11:31,788 --> 01:11:34,916
- How very unusual.
- Good afternoon.

1139
01:11:35,041 --> 01:11:38,628
Oh, dear me. Yes.
Good afternoon.

1140
01:11:38,753 --> 01:11:40,755
Good afternoon.

1141
01:11:43,716 --> 01:11:46,385
Are you by any chance
waiting to see Miss Holloway?

1142
01:11:46,511 --> 01:11:48,054
Yes, we have
an appointment.

1143
01:11:49,555 --> 01:11:51,557
What lucky people!

1144
01:11:51,682 --> 01:11:55,937
And what luck for me too,
because I'm sure you won't mind —

1145
01:11:56,062 --> 01:11:59,065
<i>- But perhaps you will.</i>
- Is there something we can do?

1146
01:11:59,190 --> 01:12:01,400
Oh, if you'd be so very kind.

1147
01:12:01,526 --> 01:12:02,985
You see...

1148
01:12:03,152 --> 01:12:05,655
this isn't my day
for an interview...

1149
01:12:05,780 --> 01:12:07,865
and I want her
to have these.

1150
01:12:09,659 --> 01:12:11,327
What are they,
bird's eggs?

1151
01:12:13,162 --> 01:12:15,122
But that's very funny...

1152
01:12:15,248 --> 01:12:18,251
because, you see,
I'm Miss Bird.

1153
01:12:24,006 --> 01:12:26,676
They're just little stones...

1154
01:12:26,843 --> 01:12:29,720
because she likes
simple things...

1155
01:12:29,846 --> 01:12:32,849
and she has
so many flowers.

1156
01:12:33,015 --> 01:12:35,560
There isn't much else
one can find.

1157
01:12:35,685 --> 01:12:37,478
<i>Well, I'll give them to her.</i>

1158
01:12:37,603 --> 01:12:39,063
Thank you.

1159
01:12:39,188 --> 01:12:40,940
And now, I...

1160
01:12:41,065 --> 01:12:43,359
think I'll just go out
for a little walk.

1161
01:12:47,530 --> 01:12:50,658
Go back to your work
at once, Miss Bird.

1162
01:12:54,537 --> 01:12:56,330
Don't forget.

1163
01:12:56,455 --> 01:12:58,087
<i>Will you come this way, please?</i>

1164
01:13:01,275 --> 01:13:03,880
- Shall I take them?
- No, I'll deliver them.

1165
01:13:04,046 --> 01:13:05,673
As you wish.

1166
01:13:11,690 --> 01:13:12,975
<i>Come in.</i>

1167
01:13:16,893 --> 01:13:18,315
<i>- How do you do?</i>
- How do you do'?

1168
01:13:18,401 --> 01:13:19,979
This is so kind of you.

1169
01:13:20,104 --> 01:13:23,232
I was asked to give you these
by a Miss Bird, I believe.

1170
01:13:23,399 --> 01:13:25,568
Poor Miss Bird.
Our saddest case.

1171
01:13:25,735 --> 01:13:27,945
They're really
very fine stones, aren't they?

1172
01:13:28,070 --> 01:13:30,072
I must remember
to thank her for them.

1173
01:13:30,197 --> 01:13:32,533
She comes to me
once a week for a little chat.

1174
01:13:32,658 --> 01:13:34,410
- Won't you sit down?
- Thank you.

1175
01:13:34,577 --> 01:13:37,914
Miss Holloway, forgive our ignorance.
We know so very little of your work.

1176
01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:40,082
Is it with mental patients?

1177
01:13:40,207 --> 01:13:43,044
Not patients, Miss Fitzgerald.
Just guests.

1178
01:13:43,169 --> 01:13:45,254
In a way
this is like a hotel...

1179
01:13:45,421 --> 01:13:48,049
where there are beautiful things
to look at, music to hear...

1180
01:13:48,174 --> 01:13:50,176
and a little sympathy.

1181
01:13:50,301 --> 01:13:52,261
But don't let's talk about me.

1182
01:13:53,846 --> 01:13:57,099
You told me on the telephone
about disturbances at Windward.

1183
01:13:57,224 --> 01:13:58,851
How can I help you?

1184
01:13:58,976 --> 01:14:03,272
We thought perhaps you could tell us
what Mary and Carmel were really like.

1185
01:14:03,439 --> 01:14:05,858
They were extraordinary women,
both of them.

1186
01:14:06,943 --> 01:14:09,946
Mary Meredith was the finest
human being I ever knew.

1187
01:14:10,112 --> 01:14:12,018
<i>- Is that she?
- Yes.</i>

1188
01:14:12,949 --> 01:14:14,617
And Carmel?

1189
01:14:14,742 --> 01:14:16,827
Oh, she was exceptional too.

1190
01:14:16,953 --> 01:14:19,664
I never saw
such intensity of evil.

1191
01:14:19,789 --> 01:14:23,209
She was a Spanish gypsy —
crafty, cruel.

1192
01:14:24,293 --> 01:14:27,338
- I'm sorry.
- Why did Mrs. Meredith put up with it?

1193
01:14:27,463 --> 01:14:30,299
She thought Meredith should be
the one to end the affair.

1194
01:14:30,424 --> 01:14:32,635
- And did he?
- Yes, in time.

1195
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:34,845
She and Meredith
took the girl to Paris...

1196
01:14:34,971 --> 01:14:38,307
found a position for her,
left her well supplied with money.

1197
01:14:38,474 --> 01:14:40,977
Then they came back here
with their baby.

1198
01:14:41,102 --> 01:14:44,313
For a time it seemed as if there
were some possibility of happiness.

1199
01:14:44,480 --> 01:14:47,525
- And then?
- Carmel came back.

1200
01:14:47,650 --> 01:14:50,569
She still wanted
Mary's husband.

1201
01:14:50,695 --> 01:14:52,613
You know how it ended.

1202
01:14:52,738 --> 01:14:55,992
A neighbor of ours spoke of
something we can't quite understand.

1203
01:14:56,158 --> 01:14:58,564
He mentions a child
crying on the cliff that night.

1204
01:14:58,829 --> 01:15:00,121
A terrified child.

1205
01:15:02,790 --> 01:15:07,837
That's a part of the story so
ugly, I've never mentioned it before.

1206
01:15:07,962 --> 01:15:10,381
We're sorry to distress you.

1207
01:15:11,590 --> 01:15:15,344
That night, the girl Carmel had
been told she must leave Windward.

1208
01:15:15,511 --> 01:15:19,181
If she could've killed both Mary
and her husband, she'd have done so.

1209
01:15:19,348 --> 01:15:22,184
A better plan flashed
into her wicked little brain.

1210
01:15:22,351 --> 01:15:25,896
She went into the nursery, picked
up their baby, and raced to the cliff.

1211
01:15:26,022 --> 01:15:28,524
<i>- Good heavens!</i>
- Mary was after her in a second...

1212
01:15:28,691 --> 01:15:30,609
Meredith and I close behind.

1213
01:15:30,735 --> 01:15:33,195
Carmel reached the cliff
by the dead tree.

1214
01:15:34,321 --> 01:15:36,949
For a moment
I saw them struggling...

1215
01:15:37,074 --> 01:15:40,828
then Carmel raised her arm
and struck Mary down.

1216
01:15:40,953 --> 01:15:42,538
Then it was murder?

1217
01:15:42,663 --> 01:15:45,291
The will to kill had always
been there, I think.

1218
01:15:45,416 --> 01:15:48,794
Directed against Stella.
Can that be what survives?

1219
01:15:48,919 --> 01:15:51,670
Maybe that accounts for
Stella's queer business on the cliff.

1220
01:15:51,943 --> 01:15:52,964
What was that?

1221
01:15:53,067 --> 01:15:55,426
Something in that house
drove her out toward the edge...

1222
01:15:55,551 --> 01:15:57,044
and if I hadn't caught her,
she'd have gone over.

1223
01:15:58,137 --> 01:15:59,889
Would she indeed?

1224
01:16:01,474 --> 01:16:02,933
How very curious.

1225
01:16:03,059 --> 01:16:05,478
Please, finish your story.

1226
01:16:06,896 --> 01:16:08,814
It <i>was</i> finished.

1227
01:16:08,939 --> 01:16:11,233
Everything was finished.

1228
01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:13,444
Meredith went down the cliff.

1229
01:16:15,154 --> 01:16:17,948
Mary was dead
when he reached her.

1230
01:16:18,074 --> 01:16:21,494
<i>- And Carmel?</i>
- She ran out into the storm.

1231
01:16:21,619 --> 01:16:24,830
Next morning, she crawled back
in the early stages of pneumonia.

1232
01:16:25,915 --> 01:16:29,627
I fought for Carmel's life
day and night...

1233
01:16:29,752 --> 01:16:31,545
hating her all the time!

1234
01:16:32,232 --> 01:16:34,177
How awful for you.

1235
01:16:34,924 --> 01:16:37,968
I'm sorry, I —
I discipline others.

1236
01:16:38,045 --> 01:16:41,013
I — I can't discipline myself.

1237
01:16:43,307 --> 01:16:44,683
There.

1238
01:16:44,809 --> 01:16:47,061
Have I told you everything
you want to know?

1239
01:16:47,186 --> 01:16:49,021
All except one thing.

1240
01:16:49,146 --> 01:16:51,899
That last night,
who told Carmel she must go?

1241
01:16:52,024 --> 01:16:55,319
Why, Mary —
I should say Meredith.

1242
01:16:55,444 --> 01:16:59,115
It's the one decent thing
I ever knew him to do.

1243
01:16:59,281 --> 01:17:01,575
This —
This is all extremely —

1244
01:17:03,285 --> 01:17:05,913
I'm sorry.

1245
01:17:06,038 --> 01:17:08,290
May I offer you tea?

1246
01:17:08,415 --> 01:17:11,335
Thank you, but we must
get back before our maid leaves.

1247
01:17:11,460 --> 01:17:13,629
She won't stay
at Windward after dark.

1248
01:17:13,754 --> 01:17:16,132
I'm afraid I haven't been
much help with your problem.

1249
01:17:16,298 --> 01:17:18,676
Well, thank you anyway,
and good-bye.

1250
01:17:18,801 --> 01:17:21,095
- Good-bye.
- Good-bye.

1251
01:17:45,452 --> 01:17:47,454
Good afternoon, my dear.

1252
01:17:48,789 --> 01:17:50,541
Did you want to see me?

1253
01:17:50,666 --> 01:17:52,751
I've been asking
for you all day.

1254
01:17:52,877 --> 01:17:55,045
I'm being treated
as though I were insane.

1255
01:17:55,171 --> 01:17:57,006
Has anyone
used that word?

1256
01:17:57,131 --> 01:18:00,259
- I've told them a thousand times —
- It isn't a question of a word.

1257
01:18:00,384 --> 01:18:03,716
My door's kept locked,
and there's a queer look in their eyes.

1258
01:18:04,708 --> 01:18:06,599
You feel persecuted.

1259
01:18:06,724 --> 01:18:07,958
No.

1260
01:18:08,392 --> 01:18:11,562
About the cliff
at Windward, Stella—

1261
01:18:11,687 --> 01:18:14,190
what did you feel
as you ran toward it?

1262
01:18:15,316 --> 01:18:17,693
I didn't feel anything.

1263
01:18:17,818 --> 01:18:19,612
I was sad in the house.

1264
01:18:19,737 --> 01:18:22,531
Was it as though
some will were directing you...

1265
01:18:22,656 --> 01:18:24,617
a will stronger than yours?

1266
01:18:24,742 --> 01:18:28,120
The sea sounded
loud and beautiful.

1267
01:18:28,245 --> 01:18:30,206
I just went in that direction.

1268
01:18:30,331 --> 01:18:32,124
In fact,
you don't quite know.

1269
01:18:32,249 --> 01:18:35,252
- I want to see my grandfather.
- You will in time.

1270
01:18:35,377 --> 01:18:38,672
Does Grandfather know
what this place is like?

1271
01:18:39,882 --> 01:18:41,967
That woman who laughs —

1272
01:18:42,092 --> 01:18:45,054
I hear laughing all night!
And that other woman that —

1273
01:18:45,221 --> 01:18:47,765
Your grandfather's sorry
that you have to be here...

1274
01:18:47,890 --> 01:18:50,100
but he knows
you'll be better soon.

1275
01:18:50,226 --> 01:18:53,520
“Better”?
But I'm perfectly all right!

1276
01:18:53,646 --> 01:18:56,148
I wouldn't say that,
Stella dear.

1277
01:18:56,273 --> 01:18:58,984
And please don't keep
asking to see me.

1278
01:18:59,109 --> 01:19:02,071
Why do you hate me,
Miss Holloway?

1279
01:19:02,238 --> 01:19:03,906
You see?

1280
01:19:04,073 --> 01:19:06,283
You do feel persecuted.

1281
01:19:18,671 --> 01:19:21,048
Rick, if I should ever happen
to lose my mind —

1282
01:19:21,173 --> 01:19:24,218
I don't think you'll lose it.
It might rattle to one side.

1283
01:19:24,343 --> 01:19:27,471
But if I do,
no Mary Meredith Retreat for me.

1284
01:19:27,596 --> 01:19:29,682
Plain, old-fashioned
lunatic asylum...

1285
01:19:29,791 --> 01:19:31,668
not that creepy horror.

1286
01:19:31,809 --> 01:19:34,355
You'll have a lovely talk with
Miss Holloway once a week.

1287
01:19:35,020 --> 01:19:38,148
- You think she was lying to us?
- About the past? Why should she?

1288
01:19:38,274 --> 01:19:41,777
She wasn't gonna tell us about the
baby, and later she made that one break.

1289
01:19:41,902 --> 01:19:44,113
Admitting it was Mary
who told Carmel to go.

1290
01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:47,491
Why try to hide it?
It was a normal human reaction.

1291
01:19:47,616 --> 01:19:50,202
Made me like Mary better,
as a matter of fact.

1292
01:19:50,327 --> 01:19:52,663
I was getting awfully bored
with her perfection.

1293
01:19:52,788 --> 01:19:56,000
Why should Miss Holloway want
to turn her into a plaster saint?

1294
01:19:56,125 --> 01:19:58,127
Maybe she likes
plaster saints.

1295
01:19:58,294 --> 01:20:00,296
She's one herself.

1296
01:20:00,421 --> 01:20:01,547
Thank you, Doctor.

1297
01:20:01,672 --> 01:20:05,509
I assure you that when that healthy
young man laughs, he isn't being delirious.

1298
01:20:05,634 --> 01:20:07,428
Good-bye, Doctor.

1299
01:20:07,553 --> 01:20:10,014
- Hello. Come in.
- Hello.

1300
01:20:12,224 --> 01:20:15,477
- What news of Stella?
- None, and I won't be having any.

1301
01:20:15,644 --> 01:20:18,772
Her grandfather's kicked me out.
Where have you been all day?

1302
01:20:18,897 --> 01:20:21,650
- To Bodmin Moor and back.
- Seeing a Miss Holloway.

1303
01:20:21,775 --> 01:20:23,986
What, Holy Holloway
of “wealth through harmony”?

1304
01:20:24,153 --> 01:20:26,655
- What do you know about her?
- Nothing, except that...

1305
01:20:26,780 --> 01:20:29,825
Dr. Rudd, my predecessor, had
some sort of prejudice against her.

1306
01:20:29,992 --> 01:20:31,994
She says Carmel
killed Mary Meredith.

1307
01:20:32,119 --> 01:20:33,996
Yes, she was there.
Nursed Carmel afterwards.

1308
01:20:34,163 --> 01:20:37,958
- Could we talk to Dr. Rudd about her?
- Only if we have another séance.

1309
01:20:38,668 --> 01:20:39,543
I wonder —

1310
01:20:39,668 --> 01:20:40,836
What?

1311
01:20:40,961 --> 01:20:44,715
It's only the very faintest chance,
of course, but come on upstairs.

1312
01:20:48,177 --> 01:20:51,680
1908 to '11,
'12 to '15, '16 to '19.

1313
01:20:51,847 --> 01:20:53,015
Here we are.

1314
01:20:53,182 --> 01:20:56,060
- It happened in the winter.
- Yes, let's start with November.

1315
01:20:57,061 --> 01:20:59,813
From his handwriting,
Dr. Rudd must have been 200 years old.

1316
01:20:59,938 --> 01:21:01,857
Measles, measles, measles...

1317
01:21:02,024 --> 01:21:04,485
whooping cough,
measles, appendicitis —

1318
01:21:04,610 --> 01:21:06,438
Pleasant change for the old boy.

1319
01:21:07,154 --> 01:21:09,823
Here we are.
“Called to Windward House.

1320
01:21:09,948 --> 01:21:13,077
Meredith's model, Carmel Quesada —
double pneumonia.”

1321
01:21:13,202 --> 01:21:16,580
“Quesada girl much worse.
No attempt to warm the bedroom.

1322
01:21:16,705 --> 01:21:18,665
Found traces of snow
on the floor.”

1323
01:21:18,791 --> 01:21:20,751
Snow? Then the window
was left open.

1324
01:21:20,876 --> 01:21:22,586
“Spoke severely to nurse.

1325
01:21:22,711 --> 01:21:26,090
Returned to Windward
this evening. Patient dead.

1326
01:21:26,215 --> 01:21:28,675
Nurse Holloway threatened me
with legal action...

1327
01:21:28,801 --> 01:21:31,345
when I used the words
'criminal negligence.”

1328
01:21:31,470 --> 01:21:32,337
But that means —

1329
01:21:32,399 --> 01:21:35,349
To a doctor of Rudd's generation,
it was apt to mean murder.

1330
01:21:35,474 --> 01:21:38,102
- Miss Holloway murdered Carmel.
<i>- Doctor.</i>

1331
01:21:38,227 --> 01:21:40,509
- In a quiet, ladylike way.
<i>- Doctor!</i>

1332
01:21:40,688 --> 01:21:41,688
Yes, Edith?

1333
01:21:41,814 --> 01:21:45,359
The commander's maid's on the phone.
You're to come at once.

1334
01:21:45,484 --> 01:21:47,903
- Is it Miss Meredith?
- It's the commander.

1335
01:21:48,070 --> 01:21:50,114
Took awful bad,
the maid says.

1336
01:21:50,239 --> 01:21:52,032
All right, Edith.
You take this home.

1337
01:21:52,157 --> 01:21:55,077
There may be some other details.
I'll be along later.

1338
01:21:57,413 --> 01:21:59,415
He's in here, Doctor.

1339
01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:04,920
I undid his shoes.
It was all I knew how to do.

1340
01:22:06,463 --> 01:22:09,883
- Bad one this time, Scott.
- Yes, I know.

1341
01:22:10,008 --> 01:22:12,261
Hold that under his nose.

1342
01:22:20,561 --> 01:22:23,063
Want an apology, Scott?

1343
01:22:23,188 --> 01:22:26,358
You'd get it,
if you stuck out for it.

1344
01:22:26,483 --> 01:22:29,278
No, thanks.
I'll have you right in a jiffy.

1345
01:22:33,830 --> 01:22:34,783
Who's there?

1346
01:22:34,950 --> 01:22:36,952
<i>Who do you
suppose is there?</i>

1347
01:22:42,166 --> 01:22:43,500
Hello, Lizzie.

1348
01:22:43,625 --> 01:22:47,004
I'm sitting in your mother's chair,
and if any ghost comes along...

1349
01:22:47,129 --> 01:22:49,631
I'll let out a scream
that will frighten the life out of it.

1350
01:22:49,756 --> 01:22:51,300
Why?
What's happened?

1351
01:22:51,425 --> 01:22:54,553
I feel all the wickedness
of this house gathering around.

1352
01:22:54,678 --> 01:22:57,431
- Come on, now. Hop off to the Jessups'.
- I'm not going.

1353
01:22:57,556 --> 01:22:59,933
I'll be found dead
in me bed in the morning...

1354
01:23:00,058 --> 01:23:02,603
stiff with fright,
and me death will be on you.

1355
01:23:02,728 --> 01:23:03,687
Me?

1356
01:23:03,812 --> 01:23:07,191
How do I know what devilment
you'll be up to when me back is turned?

1357
01:23:07,316 --> 01:23:10,611
I promise we'll do nothing tonight
that the priest wouldn't approve of.

1358
01:23:10,736 --> 01:23:14,114
Lord bless you, Mr. Rick.
I was hoping you'd say that.

1359
01:23:14,239 --> 01:23:16,617
I'll go and get
me hat and coat.

1360
01:23:20,204 --> 01:23:22,998
- Find anything new?
- Nothing after that entry.

1361
01:23:23,165 --> 01:23:27,169
- How about a whiskey and soda?
- Less soda than usual, thanks.

1362
01:23:31,107 --> 01:23:33,425
<i>Awful if we took to drink,
both of us.</i>

1363
01:23:33,550 --> 01:23:35,969
<i>But it's an ideal house
for delirium tremens.</i>

1364
01:23:36,951 --> 01:23:38,347
Before you take a sip...

1365
01:23:38,514 --> 01:23:40,427
don't you smell mimosa?

1366
01:23:41,225 --> 01:23:44,311
Yes. Are you scared?

1367
01:23:44,436 --> 01:23:46,772
Well, I wish I'd wake up.

1368
01:23:46,897 --> 01:23:48,857
It came from the nursery
last night.

1369
01:23:57,741 --> 01:24:00,035
You have the great nose
of the family.

1370
01:24:00,202 --> 01:24:02,120
Not a trace of it now.

1371
01:24:11,296 --> 01:24:14,049
- It's strongest here.
- It's almost overpowering.

1372
01:24:15,342 --> 01:24:17,886
I wish you'd tell us
what you want, Mary Meredith.

1373
01:24:18,011 --> 01:24:19,680
<i>- Mr. Rick?</i>
- Yes?

1374
01:24:19,805 --> 01:24:23,225
I forgot to ask —
did you find out anything today?

1375
01:24:23,392 --> 01:24:27,271
- Just turned up a couple of murders.
- Holy saints preserve us!

1376
01:24:28,841 --> 01:24:30,107
Answer the door.

1377
01:24:30,232 --> 01:24:32,150
It's probably Dr. Scott.

1378
01:24:34,403 --> 01:24:36,363
<i>- Good evening, Dr. Scott.
- Evening, Lizzie.</i>

1379
01:24:36,488 --> 01:24:38,490
- In here.
<i>- Goodnight, Miss Pam.</i>

1380
01:24:38,615 --> 01:24:39,950
- Good night.
- Good night.

1381
01:24:40,075 --> 01:24:42,411
- I'm glad to find you here.
- How's the commander?

1382
01:24:42,578 --> 01:24:44,663
It's not him I'm worried about.
It's Stella.

1383
01:24:44,788 --> 01:24:46,999
- What's the matter with her?
- She's at Miss Holloway's.

1384
01:24:47,124 --> 01:24:49,751
- No!
- We've got to get her out — tonight.

1385
01:24:49,918 --> 01:24:52,462
That's the way I feel,
but don't let's get hysterical.

1386
01:24:52,588 --> 01:24:55,048
After all, Miss Holloway
was her mother's best friend.

1387
01:24:55,173 --> 01:24:58,051
The idea of her spending
an hour in that place is horrible.

1388
01:24:58,176 --> 01:25:01,263
- Can you get the old boy's permission?
- He's too ill. We've no authority.

1389
01:25:01,430 --> 01:25:03,932
- Then we'll do it without.
- Shall we take the casebook?

1390
01:25:04,099 --> 01:25:06,810
- Might be able to frighten her with it.
- Yes. No, wait.

1391
01:25:06,935 --> 01:25:09,313
We'll describe what we found
and then pile it on, huh?

1392
01:25:09,438 --> 01:25:11,398
Let's get to a telephone.

1393
01:25:19,406 --> 01:25:21,533
Yes?

1394
01:25:21,658 --> 01:25:23,410
Yes?

1395
01:25:23,535 --> 01:25:25,454
Oh, it's no bother at all,
Miss Fitzgerald.

1396
01:25:25,621 --> 01:25:27,831
I'll be glad to see you again.

1397
01:25:27,956 --> 01:25:30,167
Are you motoring?

1398
01:25:30,292 --> 01:25:32,252
In two hours.

1399
01:25:32,377 --> 01:25:33,754
Good-bye.

1400
01:25:40,552 --> 01:25:42,554
Bring in Miss Meredith.

1401
01:25:46,224 --> 01:25:48,477
I may need the car
this evening.

1402
01:26:06,078 --> 01:26:07,954
<i>Good evening, my dear.</i>

1403
01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:09,790
<i>Come in.</i>

1404
01:26:13,001 --> 01:26:14,670
Sit down.

1405
01:26:16,213 --> 01:26:18,340
I thought you'd feel
more at home here.

1406
01:26:18,465 --> 01:26:20,050
I do, Miss Holloway.

1407
01:26:20,175 --> 01:26:23,011
I've been giving your problem
the most serious consideration.

1408
01:26:23,178 --> 01:26:26,682
It's not much of a problem.
I just want to go home.

1409
01:26:26,848 --> 01:26:29,142
To your grandfather's?

1410
01:26:29,267 --> 01:26:31,186
I couldn't permit that.

1411
01:26:31,353 --> 01:26:34,022
You've never been
very happy there.

1412
01:26:34,189 --> 01:26:35,941
Where would you
really like to be?

1413
01:26:36,066 --> 01:26:38,276
You mean Windward?

1414
01:26:38,402 --> 01:26:40,862
That's the basis
of all your trouble —

1415
01:26:40,987 --> 01:26:43,532
being kept away from there.

1416
01:26:45,117 --> 01:26:47,244
Do you think
she wants you there?

1417
01:26:47,369 --> 01:26:50,664
Yes, I think she does.

1418
01:26:50,789 --> 01:26:54,042
And what she wants, I want.

1419
01:26:55,335 --> 01:26:58,130
I've talked with the Fitzgeralds.
They're very fond of you.

1420
01:26:58,255 --> 01:27:00,257
They'll let me
stay there with them?

1421
01:27:00,382 --> 01:27:04,094
For the present, your grandfather's
not to know you've left here.

1422
01:27:04,219 --> 01:27:06,304
It would worry him.

1423
01:27:06,430 --> 01:27:08,724
You must go
straight to Windward.

1424
01:27:09,933 --> 01:27:11,727
Is that clear?

1425
01:27:11,893 --> 01:27:15,605
Miss Holloway, I'm the happiest
person in the world!

1426
01:27:17,357 --> 01:27:19,484
There's a train
in 40 minutes.

1427
01:27:20,569 --> 01:27:22,779
My car will take you
to the station.

1428
01:27:36,168 --> 01:27:38,378
Good evening.
Won't you come in?

1429
01:27:40,422 --> 01:27:43,967
- I must announce you!
- Don't bother. We'll announce ourselves.

1430
01:27:49,765 --> 01:27:52,559
Good evening. So you've thought
of more questions?

1431
01:27:52,684 --> 01:27:56,396
- Why didn't you tell us Stella was here?
- The presence of my guests is confidential.

1432
01:27:56,521 --> 01:27:58,815
- We've come to take her.
- This is Stella's doctor.

1433
01:27:58,940 --> 01:28:02,903
Oh, I begin to understand.
This is a rescue party.

1434
01:28:03,028 --> 01:28:05,113
<i>I must ask you to take
me to Stella at once.</i>

1435
01:28:05,238 --> 01:28:07,866
There was a time when I would have
resented such impertinence...

1436
01:28:07,991 --> 01:28:10,911
particularly from a doctor whose
conduct leaves so much to be desired.

1437
01:28:11,036 --> 01:28:12,662
Please stop beating
about the bush.

1438
01:28:12,788 --> 01:28:14,915
<i>I couldn't be angry
with anyone tonight.</i>

1439
01:28:15,040 --> 01:28:18,168
You know, those moments
when the light is very clear...

1440
01:28:18,293 --> 01:28:21,838
when the scales at last swing
into perfect balance.

1441
01:28:21,963 --> 01:28:25,050
- Where is Stella?
- Tell them, Miss Ellis.

1442
01:28:25,175 --> 01:28:27,928
She's on the train
for Biddlecombe. The 9:20.

1443
01:28:28,053 --> 01:28:30,806
On her way home.

1444
01:28:30,931 --> 01:28:33,642
- Is that true?
- She'll be there long before you.

1445
01:28:33,767 --> 01:28:35,519
- What happened?
- Nothing.

1446
01:28:35,644 --> 01:28:39,689
She wasn't very happy here. I can't be
of any help to people who are unhappy.

1447
01:28:39,815 --> 01:28:42,275
- She went to her grandfather's?
- No.

1448
01:28:42,400 --> 01:28:44,736
- Not to Windward House?
- Better than that.

1449
01:28:44,861 --> 01:28:47,614
To the cliff,
and the rocks below the cliff.

1450
01:28:47,739 --> 01:28:49,137
<i>You let her?</i>

1451
01:28:49,262 --> 01:28:52,494
That's were Mary went.
That's where she died.

1452
01:28:53,442 --> 01:28:54,871
She's out of her mind.

1453
01:28:54,996 --> 01:28:56,915
Come on!
Stella has a 20-minute start!

1454
01:28:57,040 --> 01:28:59,543
<i>The sea has such a lonely sound.</i>

1455
01:28:59,668 --> 01:29:01,837
<i>- Every seventh wave —</i>
- You'd better look after her.

1456
01:29:02,003 --> 01:29:05,257
Miss Holloway!
What's the matter?

1457
01:29:05,382 --> 01:29:07,342
Get out of this room!

1458
01:29:09,678 --> 01:29:12,222
I've done
what she wanted at last.

1459
01:29:12,347 --> 01:29:14,349
Haven't I, Mary?

1460
01:29:14,516 --> 01:29:17,394
It's all straight now.

1461
01:29:17,519 --> 01:29:19,688
There are no frayed edges.

1462
01:29:19,813 --> 01:29:22,065
No loose ends.

1463
01:29:22,190 --> 01:29:24,317
All straight.

1464
01:29:24,442 --> 01:29:26,236
All smooth.

1465
01:29:31,658 --> 01:29:33,660
These local trains
are very slow, you know.

1466
01:29:33,785 --> 01:29:35,537
But this one
had a head start.

1467
01:29:35,662 --> 01:29:38,039
You needn't worry.
She can't get into the house.

1468
01:29:38,206 --> 01:29:40,041
You did lock the door,
didn't you, Pam?

1469
01:29:40,208 --> 01:29:42,085
No, I thought you did.

1470
01:29:53,221 --> 01:29:55,515
- Will you be all right, miss?
- Oh, yes.

1471
01:29:55,640 --> 01:29:58,018
I'll be all right now.
I'll be with my friends.

1472
01:30:31,092 --> 01:30:33,637
Pamela? Rick?

1473
01:30:39,601 --> 01:30:41,728
Pamela, are you there?

1474
01:30:43,772 --> 01:30:45,398
Rick?

1475
01:30:51,780 --> 01:30:53,698
Where are you?
Please.

1476
01:31:12,300 --> 01:31:14,135
Lizzie?

1477
01:31:14,302 --> 01:31:16,137
Is that you?

1478
01:31:29,192 --> 01:31:30,684
<i>Stella.</i>

1479
01:31:35,740 --> 01:31:37,215
<i>Stella.</i>

1480
01:31:43,832 --> 01:31:46,501
Grandfather!
Grandfather!

1481
01:31:46,626 --> 01:31:48,878
Stella, my child.

1482
01:31:49,004 --> 01:31:51,965
What's the matter?
What are you doing here?

1483
01:31:52,090 --> 01:31:55,385
Someone telephoned...
from Miss Holloway's.

1484
01:31:55,510 --> 01:31:58,013
And you walked
all that way?

1485
01:31:58,179 --> 01:32:00,140
Well, I had to get here.

1486
01:32:00,265 --> 01:32:03,518
Don't try and talk, darling.
I'll get Dr. Scott.

1487
01:32:03,643 --> 01:32:06,229
Oh, dear. There's
no telephone in this house.

1488
01:32:06,354 --> 01:32:09,399
- Go. Go!
- You can't be left alone.

1489
01:32:09,524 --> 01:32:11,860
But the danger is for you.

1490
01:32:12,027 --> 01:32:15,572
- Please get out of this house now.
- Now lie back quietly.

1491
01:32:15,697 --> 01:32:17,866
I'm not afraid
of anything here.

1492
01:32:19,451 --> 01:32:21,327
Then <i>be</i> afraid.

1493
01:32:21,453 --> 01:32:24,039
Be afraid,
for heaven's sake.

1494
01:32:24,164 --> 01:32:26,124
When you were
a little child...

1495
01:32:26,249 --> 01:32:28,084
after her death...

1496
01:32:28,209 --> 01:32:31,337
the evils of this house
reached out for you.

1497
01:32:31,463 --> 01:32:33,673
I took you away then.

1498
01:32:33,798 --> 01:32:35,759
If I could only take you now.

1499
01:32:35,884 --> 01:32:38,303
It's all right.
We're together.

1500
01:32:49,314 --> 01:32:52,609
Stella! Go!

1501
01:32:52,734 --> 01:32:55,236
- Go —
- Grandfather!

1502
01:33:05,872 --> 01:33:08,249
I won't be afraid, Mother.

1503
01:33:18,051 --> 01:33:19,469
Stella!

1504
01:33:22,972 --> 01:33:24,432
Stella!

1505
01:33:25,850 --> 01:33:27,936
<i>Stella, stop!</i>

1506
01:33:34,275 --> 01:33:36,111
Hold on, darling.

1507
01:33:39,697 --> 01:33:41,950
We've got you now, darling.
Hang on.

1508
01:33:48,164 --> 01:33:50,125
- Are you all right?
- Yes.

1509
01:33:50,250 --> 01:33:51,376
Sure?

1510
01:33:51,501 --> 01:33:53,795
Dr. Scott,
Grandfather's in the studio.

1511
01:33:53,920 --> 01:33:55,588
He's terribly ill.

1512
01:33:55,713 --> 01:33:57,674
We'd better get
to him at once.

1513
01:34:06,975 --> 01:34:08,935
There's nothing I can do,
my dear.

1514
01:34:09,060 --> 01:34:10,645
I knew.

1515
01:34:12,147 --> 01:34:15,441
She killed him
just as she tried to kill me.

1516
01:34:15,567 --> 01:34:17,819
- My own mother!
- No, Stella.

1517
01:34:17,944 --> 01:34:20,864
But I tell you, I saw my mother
just as my father painted her.

1518
01:34:20,989 --> 01:34:23,533
- It must have been Carmel.
- It wasn't.

1519
01:34:23,658 --> 01:34:25,368
Steady, Stella.

1520
01:34:25,493 --> 01:34:27,662
Unless —

1521
01:34:27,787 --> 01:34:30,832
Unless perhaps
Miss Holloway was right.

1522
01:34:30,957 --> 01:34:33,710
Perhaps it's my mind.

1523
01:34:33,835 --> 01:34:35,795
- Oh, Rick!
- No, darling.

1524
01:34:40,300 --> 01:34:42,594
The mimosa scent —
it's flooding the room.

1525
01:34:42,719 --> 01:34:44,679
It's all right, darling.
Nothing will hurt you.

1526
01:34:44,804 --> 01:34:48,725
But I'm not frightened. This is what
I felt in the nursery that night.

1527
01:34:49,601 --> 01:34:51,311
The book!

1528
01:34:51,436 --> 01:34:52,873
<i>What's doing it?</i>

1529
01:34:53,354 --> 01:34:56,373
- The wind.
<i>- But what about the mimosa?</i>

1530
01:34:56,858 --> 01:35:00,445
We're letting our imaginations
play hob with our senses.

1531
01:35:00,570 --> 01:35:03,823
“11:15 a.m.
Mary Ann Hardy.

1532
01:35:03,948 --> 01:35:06,034
Broken arm.
Second this year.”

1533
01:35:06,201 --> 01:35:08,119
It's imagination, all right.

1534
01:35:10,413 --> 01:35:12,373
Oh, what did I expect?

1535
01:35:12,498 --> 01:35:14,000
Wait a minute.

1536
01:35:14,125 --> 01:35:16,336
“3:20 p.m.
Called to Windward House...

1537
01:35:16,461 --> 01:35:19,214
to attend Meredith's model,
who had fainted.

1538
01:35:19,339 --> 01:35:21,424
It didn't take much skill
to find the reason.

1539
01:35:22,508 --> 01:35:24,385
Girl in poor
physical condition...

1540
01:35:24,510 --> 01:35:27,388
but I'm sure her great happiness
will carry her through.”

1541
01:35:27,555 --> 01:35:29,349
Then Carmel had a baby too!

1542
01:35:29,474 --> 01:35:31,809
“5:10 p.m.
Mrs. Meredith came to see me.

1543
01:35:31,935 --> 01:35:35,521
Expected tears, hysteria.
Instead, icy control...

1544
01:35:35,647 --> 01:35:38,942
and a dominating desire that
the girl's condition be kept secret.

1545
01:35:39,067 --> 01:35:42,946
<i>I should have more sympathy with the
lady if I did not know how she herself...</i>

1546
01:35:43,071 --> 01:35:45,531
<i>has feared
and refused motherhood.”</i>

1547
01:35:45,657 --> 01:35:47,575
What can it all mean?

1548
01:35:47,742 --> 01:35:50,036
- Where were you born, Stella?
- In Paris.

1549
01:35:50,161 --> 01:35:53,248
Where they took Carmel before
they came back with their baby.

1550
01:35:53,414 --> 01:35:55,083
<i>But surely you don't think —</i>

1551
01:35:55,250 --> 01:35:57,335
I think Mary adopted
Carmel's child...

1552
01:35:57,460 --> 01:36:00,421
gave her a home on the condition
that Carmel never came back.

1553
01:36:00,546 --> 01:36:03,049
Only she couldn't live up to it.
She had to be near her baby.

1554
01:36:03,174 --> 01:36:05,677
But it doesn't fit.
The mimosa scent...

1555
01:36:05,802 --> 01:36:08,513
that comes with the gentle ghost —
that was Mary's scent.

1556
01:36:08,638 --> 01:36:10,848
- Stella's father told her.
- No.

1557
01:36:10,974 --> 01:36:14,310
No, my father only wrote
that it was my mother's scent.

1558
01:36:14,435 --> 01:36:16,604
I'm Carmel's child!

1559
01:36:16,771 --> 01:36:19,315
Oh, Stella,
don't mind too much.

1560
01:36:19,440 --> 01:36:22,860
“Mind”? Can't you see
what it's done for me?

1561
01:36:22,986 --> 01:36:25,905
Always there's been
something fighting in me...

1562
01:36:26,030 --> 01:36:29,075
something that couldn't be
calm and cold like Mary.

1563
01:36:29,200 --> 01:36:31,327
I can be myself now.

1564
01:36:31,452 --> 01:36:34,706
That's what she's waited
all these years to tell you.

1565
01:36:34,831 --> 01:36:37,834
Oh, Mother, now I know.

1566
01:36:47,635 --> 01:36:49,929
She's happy now.

1567
01:36:50,054 --> 01:36:51,973
The scent's gone.

1568
01:36:52,140 --> 01:36:54,392
She won't cry anymore.

1569
01:36:54,517 --> 01:36:56,436
She's gone forever.

1570
01:36:56,561 --> 01:36:59,647
Will you come back
to my house now, Stella?

1571
01:36:59,814 --> 01:37:01,858
- Come along, darling.
- All right.

1572
01:37:06,821 --> 01:37:09,907
- Get her out through the nursery, quick!
- Right.

1573
01:37:10,033 --> 01:37:11,909
- What is it, the cold?
- Go on, Pam!

1574
01:37:12,035 --> 01:37:14,829
- What are you going to do?
- Help Stella, please.

1575
01:37:26,174 --> 01:37:29,052
Mary Meredith,
where are you?

1576
01:37:35,141 --> 01:37:39,145
It's time somebody faced
that icy rage of yours.

1577
01:37:39,270 --> 01:37:41,064
What do you want?

1578
01:37:41,189 --> 01:37:43,066
It's Stella, isn't it?

1579
01:37:52,950 --> 01:37:54,869
It's too late, Mary.

1580
01:37:55,036 --> 01:37:57,163
You see,
we're on to you now.

1581
01:37:57,288 --> 01:38:01,167
You told Carmel to clear out and leave
her baby, but Meredith wouldn't stand for it.

1582
01:38:01,292 --> 01:38:03,163
To spite them, you
tried to kill their child —

1583
01:38:03,187 --> 01:38:05,671
and instead went hurtling
over the cliff yourself.

1584
01:38:06,971 --> 01:38:09,987
Gives your saintly legend
a black eye, doesn't it?

1585
01:38:11,594 --> 01:38:14,514
<i>So you don't like
the sound of laughter, do you?</i>

1586
01:38:14,639 --> 01:38:16,808
But that's all you'll get
from now on.

1587
01:38:21,145 --> 01:38:24,065
I should think you'll be
on your way now, Mary Meredith.

1588
01:38:24,190 --> 01:38:27,235
We've had enough. We're
not frightened of you anymore.

1589
01:38:27,360 --> 01:38:29,737
From now on,
this house is for the living.

1590
01:38:44,919 --> 01:38:46,864
<i>Rick, are you all right?</i>

1591
01:38:48,629 --> 01:38:50,466
<i>Let me in, Rick!</i>

1592
01:38:52,510 --> 01:38:54,637
- Oh, Rick!
- You all right, Fitzgerald?

1593
01:38:54,762 --> 01:38:56,764
Yes, fine.
She's gone, Stella.

1594
01:38:56,889 --> 01:38:58,057
Look!

1595
01:38:58,182 --> 01:39:01,352
<i>He'd never go near
those stairs before.</i>

1596
01:39:01,477 --> 01:39:03,479
Bobby'll be back tomorrow.

1597
01:39:03,604 --> 01:39:06,899
I think we'll be having
other plans for Bobby.

1598
01:39:07,024 --> 01:39:09,360
You're still shaking, Rick.

1599
01:39:09,485 --> 01:39:11,529
Well, I've had
a narrow escape.

1600
01:39:11,654 --> 01:39:13,823
She might have been
my mother-in-law!
