Original subtitles

Andrea, hmm?

It was a bright sunny afternoon.

Thomas and I have been happily married for

five years.

The children were out with a maid.

We went out shopping for antiques for our

new home.

Then something happened that brought back the memory

of those strange, fantastic, and unhappy days.

Pretty, isn't it?

Would you like to have it for our

bedroom?

Tell me, what's the price of that mirror?

He knows how I feel.

He knows that I want it.

He knows I want to feel his body

next to mine.

When he looks at me, his eyes undress

me.

I shouldn't think of him so much.

It's crazy, but I can't get him out

of my mind.

I must have him.

He must be awake.

I can't spend another night not sleeping.

He must be awake.

I've got to feel his body next to

mine, just like my mother.

I must have him.

I must.

I'll get him today.

It must be today.

Did you call, miss?

My riding clothes, please.

Very well, miss.

Hurry up, I want to go riding now.

Oh, but you haven't had your breakfast yet.

I'm not hungry.

You can clear it away.

Yoshi's been eating two breakfasts lately.

Your riding's getting better every day, that's what

Yoshi says.

That's why he needs a lot of strength,

if he's to keep up with you.

You'd better not feed your Yoshi too well.

Or else he'll get too fat.

Oh, fat husbands are fine.

They're faithful, they say in our hometown.

If I marry Yoshi, he can get fat

for all I care.

Main thing, he stays faithful to me.

And what day is the wedding arranged for?

Your father thought we would marry the same

day as you.

Then we would have a double wedding followed

by a party that would go on for

days.

I'm afraid that you and Papa are in

for a disappointment.

But I thought the announcement of your wedding

was arranged for next week.

Shut up, will you?

You can marry your Yoshi anytime you want,

but leave me out of it, understand?

I'm sorry, miss, I have to go now.

I must help your father get dressed.

How is Papa?

I'm afraid there's no great change.

He's worried about you.

He thinks you must be lonely here in

the country without friends, with a father who's

sick and nothing else but a whole lot

of animals.

He's quite right there, dear Papa.

In Paris, at the university, it was a

lot more fun.

Tell Papa I'll visit him when I get

back.

Very well, miss.

He can be faithful to her, all right.

But I want him first.

She can have him back later, when I'm

through with him.

Go ahead and play and wait.

Just like I had to wait.

Go on playing, play.

We've changed roles, you and I, my friend.

When all the lights have gone out, I'll

wait for you in the stables, he said.

He begged me like a hungry animal.

He can wait.

Wait for me until I'm ready to make

love.

Maybe I've lost complete interest in you.

Well, we'll see.

Mila, you?

What's the matter, Yoshi?

When I saw you weren't in your room,

I got worried.

The mayor's going to fall, probably in the

next couple of hours.

That's why I'm here.

About two o'clock, Michael is going to

take over.

You can go back to bed now.

It might sound strange.

I was worried about you.

But I'm all right now.

Good night.

Good night.

Andrea.

I wasn't going to come.

Why was she here?

She's not to have you while I still

want you.

You belong to me.

Come.

Will I

see you again?

No.

You'd like that, wouldn't you?

But it can never be any better, so

we'll stop now.

Tomorrow you can go back to your Mila.

You're free.

Father's wish regarding the two of us?

After all, I've always considered the two of

us to be engaged.

Or am I to understand that our beautiful

relationship has ended?

Oh, we'd love to have you as one

of the family.

Both Peter and I.

Isn't that right, sweetheart?

That's Andrea's private affair.

Now let's keep out of it, darling.

You know that I'm very fond of you,

Thomas.

But I think it's right to refuse a

marriage if you can't stand any restraints and

object to being tied to someone permanently.

Oh, I could never be a really loving

wife.

I'd always feel a kind of stress, just

like an overheated pressure cooker ready to blow

up any minute.

Don, you ought to be grateful to her.

I'm really sorry you feel that way, but

I can wait.

Maybe you'll think differently in a year about

love, marriage, our being together.

Andrea, be honest.

Of all the men you've met up to

the present, was there ever one that mattered?

Every one of them mattered, even though you

don't think so.

I think that love is just another form

of madness, fulfillment of desires, state of mutual

intoxication.

Pure and true love, as conceived by our

civilized world, is, in my opinion, a mating

of spiritual and intellectual qualities.

Only primitive people mistake sex for love.

Then you married a primitive at heart, my

dear.

It wasn't your intellectual qualities that first attracted

me.

There were wild and passionate desires there, and

no amount of struggling could stop them.

They got through to you, too.

Well, love without sex is like water without

whiskey.

There's no life to it.

I was trying to say that without those

other values, our life is incomplete.

Our mind makes us better than animals.

Without those qualities, love and sex are meaningless.

Well, now, I think I'll say good night.

I'm going to bed.

Good night, sweetheart.

You know, Clarissa must consider me quite mad,

don't you think?

Frankly, I find your wife's philosophy and attitude

toward life a bit stuffy and old-fashioned.

You, on the other hand, know exactly what

I'm talking about.

You understand my point of view.

You understand that life is something that has

to be lived.

That's why I find you so charming.

Uh-huh.

That sure makes everything clear.

Now I know why the future husband provided

by your dad I've had it.

You certainly have, both as a husband and

a lover.

Never mind.

Maybe you're better off.

Hey, I never wanted Andrea just for an

adventure or a fast date.

I wanted her to be my wife.

I know that you're difficult, a bit crazy.

I would have put up with all your

moods, just as long as you remained with

me.

Never mind.

I guess I'll have to drown my sorrow

and drink.

Hey, where's our Samaritan gone to?

Hey, I want another scotch.

Oh, Peter, didn't you say that you wanted

to come to the studio to look at

my paintings?

Isn't that what you wanted?

Yes.

Come along, then.

And now I'd like you to have a

drink with me.

No, thanks.

I still have to clear up the dining

room.

I'm not going to let you.

And now, my dear, you're going to keep

me company.

I've got to be comforted.

Come on, sit down.

No, thanks.

I told you, I've got a lot to

do.

Say, what's the matter?

Nothing but prudes around here.

Come on, sit down, sit down.

Haven't you ever been in love?

Come on, give me a kiss, will you?

No.

Please let me go.

May I go now, please, sir?

No.

I want another scotch.

Here you are, sir.

You can have the whole bottle to yourself.

If there's anything else you want, please ring.

Anything else I want?

Hey, I might take you up on that

later on in the evening, you know.

Was it the whiskey?

Or is it the many stairs?

Or is it you?

But I feel very warm.

Will you excuse me?

Mm-hmm.

You're almost there.

A little crazy.

It's nice to be crazy once in a

while.

Hey, what's that?

Quite interesting.

It's a man.

Oh, I see.

It's no one I know, I'm afraid.

And that's another one.

Have you ever painted a woman?

No.

I hate women.

What's that?

That is a family heirloom.

If you were a painter, would you paint

men?

Suppose I wouldn't.

Come, drink with me.

We'll drink to love.

The way I love.

Andrea, tell me.

Are you capable of love?

What kind of love?

Love of art?

Of music?

Wine?

I want to experience every kind of love

that's possible.

If you really want to know, and you

doubt that I'm capable of it, Hey,

anyone in there?

Well, that Blazes is the little devil.

Excuse me.

Help!

Who's there?

It's only me, it's Thomas.

I can't find...

The washroom isn't in my bedroom, you know.

I didn't mean...

I meant...

Oh, never mind.

Where's Peter?

I have the vaguest idea.

Excuse me.

I've never ever met anybody quite like you.

I believe you.

Men awaken a feeling of content and discontent

in me.

You were absolutely everything I wished for and

desired a few minutes ago.

And what now?

You're indifferent to me, that it?

Peter, tell me.

Does that make me a bad girl?

This reminds me of something a famous writer

once said.

She goes to bed with everyone she fancies.

That doesn't make her a bad girl.

A bad girl is one who lies, defames,

and who's good to no one.

I'm sorry to have to disturb this very

enlightening conversation.

I must say this is quite a sight.

I never thought anything like this could happen.

Why, you cheap, man-eating wildcat.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Peter and I were just having a quiet

conversation about modern art.

Yes, about the noble art of seducing men.

Well, you're quite wrong.

That there, a rather sorry figure at the

moment, is mine.

My husband.

Remember that.

Why, if I'm not mistaken, I had a

similar experience in Paris once.

Allow me.

Oh!

Oh!

And that's for you, my dear.

Now come along, into your wife's bed, where

you belong.

Actually, I ought to be really grateful to

you, Andrea.

I'm sure Peter's now going to buy me

the loveliest of mint coats.

Aren't you, darling?

Good night.

Yes, sure he will.

Your sweet little good-for-nothing darling.

Your little idiot.

After they left, I was all alone again.

In that big house.

After two weeks, I couldn't stand it any

longer.

I had to get out.

Get into town, see people, meet someone.

It didn't matter who.

Here.

What's up, George?

Stop shoving, will you?

Look at the lady amongst them.

Can't you see?

A vermouth, please.

Your vermouth.

George here.

A new girl just walked into Jeff's.

Just what you're looking for.

Better step on it.

Somebody else could beat you to it.

That's my seat you're parking on, baby.

Beat it.

What do I owe you?

Two fifty.

About twenty-two.

Is that her?

Get going.

A quick job.

And step on it.

Hiya, doll.

What's the hurry?

How about you and me having some fun

together, huh?

I'll make it worth your while.

Come on, will you?

No, I'm not interested.

Let go of me, will you?

Stop it.

Let go of me or I'll call for

help.

Shut your mouth, baby, or I'll knock your

teeth in.

None of that talk now.

Come on.

Come on now.

My name is Felix Classen.

Thanks for helping me.

That man must be drunk.

Well, you've been rather reckless.

You shouldn't walk around at night in this

rough neighborhood.

I must have lost my way.

Come on.

We'd better get away from here right now.

We can't fool around with guys like him.

That bar next door is full of thugs.

Come on, hurry.

Get in.

He's probably going to get some help now.

If we stay here, we've had it.

Well, you want to spend the whole night

here in the doorway?

Certainly not.

I want to leave.

Oh, no, you don't.

Your bag.

What?

You talk too much.

Come on.

That all?

You one of these girls that holds out

on them men?

What do you take me for?

For a nice, sweet girl.

Ouch.

Get in there.

Now, take off your clothes.

What's going on?

You got some men in your ears?

Take off your clothes, I said.

This is sure a new way of going

about it.

But I must admit, I find it interesting.

I said you talk too much.

Take off the rest.

And lie down.

Let's see how good you are.

Give me back my bag of money right

away, do you hear?

Who do you think you are, you big

ape?

I know your type.

You're an arrogant little dame.

You need to be taught a lesson.

Come on.

Come on.

Ouch.

I don't want any more trouble out of

you when I get back.

I'm not through with you yet.

Yeah, what is it?

Oh, it's you, George.

Thanks for the tip-off.

It worked out fine.

I'm just going to find out.

Sure worked out fine.

What did I do?

Broke one of your teeth?

Oh, you got to be more careful.

Okay, okay.

I'll buy you a new set of false

teeth tomorrow.

Look, I said I'm sorry.

We'll talk about it tomorrow.

I'm busy now.

Good night.

Hey, what's going on?

I said take them off.

Understand?

Oh!

You got a visitor.

Yeah.

We're playing chess.

Who's that with you?

Can't you see?

It's my grandmother.

What do you got there?

She a new one?

I threw the old one away.

What do you need a new one for?

I'll give you three guesses, baby.

You didn't work hard enough the last few

weeks.

Get going.

I'm hungry.

All right, all right.

Nah, she's not much for talking.

A good cook, though.

You know, if she was half as good

in bed as she is in the kitchen,

I wouldn't have to look for anyone to

replace her.

Yeah.

You know what I'm talking about, don't you?

I don't deserve it.

Please, send her away, or I'll throw her

out myself.

Now, just a minute.

If you don't like it, you can quit.

Okay, I will.

Yeah, but don't forget to pay your bills.

How much is it today?

What do you know?

You're pretty good.

That's for you.

It wouldn't be so bad for you, huh?

You'd be relieved of certain duties.

Sure.

I gotta find out if she's fit for

this kind of work.

Well, that's it.

How about it?

You better make up your mind.

No.

It's either gonna be her or me.

Hurry up with that food.

You know I'm in no mood to talk

when I'm hungry.

Now, turn that thing off, will you?

The noises drive me out of my mind.

Hey, come on in here in the kitchen.

I want you to meet my favorite girlfriend.

Now, step on it.

I never thought I'd miss Papa so much.

Ever since he died, I feel lost and

abandoned.

I've never felt like this before.

Papa always used to say, man comes by

himself and leaves by himself.

I don't want to remain by myself.

I couldn't stand it.

Andrea, tell me, are you capable of love?

Only primitive people mistake sex for love.

Without spiritual and intellectual values, our lives are

incomplete.

Love and sex are meaningless.

Love and sex are meaningless.

Maybe you'll think differently in a year about

marriage, love, our being together.

Will I see you again?

Andrea?

I'll see you again.

Andrea, are you capable of love?

Hey, I've never...

I've never met anyone quite like you.

He's mine.

Remember that.

He's mine.

Remember that.

He's mine.

Remember...

That doesn't make her bad.

Mr. Wagner, your lawyer is upstairs.

Good evening.

I hope I'm not disturbing you, Miss Irfield.

Not at all.

Won't you sit down?

May I offer you something to drink, Mr.

Wagner?

Vermouth?

Whiskey?

I'll have a vermouth, thank you.

Thank you.

To your health, Miss Irfield.

Thanks.

Thank you for coming so soon.

Have you brought the papers?

Here are the proceeds obtained for the horses.

Five hundred and eighty thousand.

The price obtained for the mansion was, as

per your instructions, forwarded to your bank account.

May I give you the receipt from the

bank?

And, uh, before I forget, would you be

good enough to sign a receipt for the

money?

May I?

How much do I owe, Mr. Wagner?

Our fee was retained from the proceeds of

the two sales.

I believe that's what you wanted.

May I ask you what your plans are

for the future?

You mean with all the money I have?

Travel.

Maybe I'll go to Paris.

Your doctor was of the opinion that it

would be best for you to, uh, get

a good rest.

Go to a, let's say, sanatorium.

Rest your nerves.

Go on.

Why don't you say it?

Asylum.

It's his main worry, the good old doctor.

He's afraid I'll end up exactly the same

way as my mother.

I'm not afraid.

But it's really not wise to stay here

all by yourself.

I have to remain here until after the

auction sale of the inventory.

A few last days in this house where

I spent my childhood.

I wonder what will happen to me then.

Please be

quiet.

Don't be afraid.

I'm not going to hurt you.

You must help me, please.

Please, you needn't be afraid.

I'm not going to hurt you.

Wait.

Wait, please.

Stop.

Stop, please.

Let me explain.

I need help.

Don't you understand?

Please wait.

I hope you're not hurt.

Wait.

Why have you been running away?

What's the matter, you crazy?

Why have you been running after me like

that?

I thought you wanted to kill me.

Oh.

And I was afraid that you were going

to give me away.

Come on now.

You must help me get away from here.

They mustn't catch me at least, not before

I settle an old debt of mine.

And they can have me again for all

I care.

What have you done?

For myself, not much.

But for the benefit of some good friends

of mine, too much.

Is there anything I can get for you?

Yes, please.

I'm in need of food and clothes.

I spent the night in some broken down

bomb shelter.

Nothing there, as you might imagine.

Come with me to my house.

You'll find all you want there.

No.

I prefer to wait in the fishing hut.

Please come with me.

Let's trust one another.

I'm alone there.

Uh-uh.

I'm afraid of coming with you to tell

you the truth.

I trusted a woman once, and it was

once too often.

Come with me, if you want me to

help you.

And now you'll have to hurry, sir.

Dinner's already been served, and is awaiting the

guest of honor.

What's wrong?

Not to your liking?

Papa's pajamas?

No, they're fine.

It's just that I'm not hot on stripes

lately.

Oh, of course.

I forgot about that.

Come on and eat.

Some pate de foie gras, or a little

caviar.

How about a little bit of each now?

I hope you're enjoying it.

Mm-hmm.

And now a little glass of Burgundy, perhaps.

Tell me, did I promise you too much?

Here, no one will find you.

Your worries are over.

We'll spend a few days here, and then

we can both go.

Oh, no, my dear.

Out of the question.

You think I broke out of jail and

came this far just to go to bed

with you?

You're being crude and unpleasant.

I won't let you go, that's all.

Or I'll go along with you.

I have enough money.

Enough for the two of us.

There you are.

Go ahead.

Take whatever you need.

Take it away, do you hear?

I wouldn't even touch it.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to be insulting.

Whatever do they do to you?

Go on.

You can tell me.

What is it?

What time

is it?

Five o'clock.

Time to go.

No, please don't go away.

Don't leave me alone, please.

I must go.

Where are my clothes?

I bet you'll be back soon.

You promise?

How long are you going to be away?

If I'm lucky, it'll be over in five

minutes.

You know, I thought a lot about the

two of us last night.

We could both start a new life abroad.

I've got a perfect plan.

You think you can get back here around

noon, don't you?

I'll telephone my lawyer right away.

With enough money, you can fix practically anything

you want.

Here.

Help yourself to whatever you need.

I told you I don't need your money.

I'd like you to lend me your car.

But you should have something to eat before

you go, don't you think?

I couldn't possibly eat a thing just now.

Give me the keys to the car.

The gas tank's full.

If I...

Hurry back.

Hurry.

Good morning, Miss O'Field.

Good morning.

You can clear the table.

And bring me my suitcase from the closet

when you're through, please.

You're planning on a journey?

Yes, and before I go, I still have

quite a lot to do.

I'm going to be picked up at noon,

so I'd better hurry.

Will you be having lunch before you go?

I'm not quite sure yet.

Will you please bring me my suitcase?

Hello?

Hello, Miss O'Field?

It can be done, but the man is

asking for five thousand.

Good.

In which case, it would be best for

you to come over to my office before

twelve o'clock.

Thank you, I will.

It worked.

He'll really be surprised.

He wanted to get back here about noon.

What if he's delayed?

I'd better call the lawyer and tell him

that I'll fetch the papers at one o

'clock.

He must be coming back soon.

We interrupt this program to give you a

news bulletin.

The 35-year-old burglar who escaped from

the state penitentiary two days ago was arrested

this morning in the home of his ex

-mistress.

His name is Frederick Janssen.

He had just murdered the 20-year-old

woman.

The motive is probably revenge or jealousy.

He has already admitted to the killing.

We now return you to our regular program

as scheduled.

It might seem strange when you think back

to the early post-World War II days...

Yes, sir, the door's been locked since yesterday

afternoon.

All the windows are shut.

I put the food in front of the

door.

I kept knocking and knocking, but she wouldn't

open.

Here, let me try.

Sirfield?

Open up, please.

If you don't, I'm going to have to

call the police.

Excuse me, sir, maybe one of these people

will do the checking.

This one seems to fit.

Miss Sirfield?

What's the matter?

Shall I send for the doctor?

Sir...

Hello?

Who's there?

Please, Thomas, come and get me.

I need you.

Please, come at once.

I'll wait here, Miss Sirfield, in case you

should need me.

Is there anything I can do for you,

Miss Sirfield?

Bring me a mirror, please.

Here you are, Miss.

Me?

It can't be me.

I don't know her.

I don't know her.

No.

I can't.

This mirror you're so fascinated with, I just

bought it.

I bought it for you, darling.

Why?

I don't want it.

It's horrible.

What did you do that for?

Thomas...

I saw a face.

It was frightening.

Come, take me out of here.
