All language subtitles for The Lady in Red Kills Seven Times (1972)

Kitty!

Kitty!

- Hello.
- Hello.

- What are you doing?
- Can't you see I'm playing?

- Do you like your doll?
- Of course. Her name's Elizabeth.

She's very pretty.

Won't you let me hold her
for a bit?

I'm very protective of my doll,
you know that.

EveHne!

Give her back! Eveline!

You're wicked!

You're wicked, Eveline.
Let me have my doII.

Don't hurt her. Please, Eveline.

EveHne!

Come on.

Give me back my dell.

If you don't
give me back my doll, I'II...

EveHne!

Grandpa, look what Eveline's doing.

I want my do�! If you don't
give her back I'II pull your hair out.

Come on, stop it.
Give her back her do�.

She always takes her, Grandpa.
She never leaves me alone.

I'm the Red Queen
and Kitty's the Black Queen.

- I'm the Red Queen...
- Eveline, give her back her doll. Eveline!

Grandpa will get your doll back
for you.

I'm the Red Queen
and Kitty's the Black Queen.

Eveline, are you crazy?

Eveline... What are you doing?
Eveline!

- I hate you, Grandpa.
- Eveline! No!

- No! My doII!
- I hate you! I hate you!

EveHne!

EveHne!

Mary... Mary!

Stop it! Get up!

- Kitty, let me go!
- Mary!

Get up.

- Stop it!
- I'll kill you, Kitty!

- That's enough!
- I'll kill you!

That's enough!

That's enough.

Get up.

- She started it, Grandpa.
- That's not true!

I'm sorry, Grandpa,
I didn't want to do it,

but when I looked at that picture
I felt something inside me.

Grandpa, you never really told us
what that picture means,

just that one was good
and the other was bad.

Mary, bring me my drops.

- Please be quick.
- Right away, sir.

Will you tell us, Grandpa?

I'd have preferred
never to talk about that picture with you,

but perhaps the time has come.

Many, many years ago

the Red Queen and the Black Queen
lived in this castle.

They were sisters like you two.

They'd hated each other
since they were children.

The Black Queen silently put up

with the Red Queen's
wicked schemes,

waiting for the time
when she could have vengeance.

When the Red Queen
fell in love with a man,

the Black Queen
finally got her revenge

and murdered her sister
one night while she was sleeping.

She brutally stabbed her
seven times.

Legend has it
that a year after her death

the Red Queen came back to life,
spreading terror.

She murdered six innocent people.

The seventh was the Black Queen.

At peace once again,
the Red Queen returned to her grave,

but the same thing happened
a hundred years earlier

and a hundred years later,

always in this castle

and always between two sisters,

and it will keep happening
every hundred years.

Do you believe in these things,
Grandpa?

It's nonsense. They're just legends,
there's no truth in them.

According to the legend,
when is it supposed to happen next?

In 14 years' time.

In 1972, to be precise.

That's a long way off, Grandpa.

You're right. Mary?

- Yes, sir?
- Have that picture removed today.

Throw it away.

I never want to see it again.

You two 90 and play.
Off you go.

THE RED QUEEN KILLS SEVEN TIMES

Grandpa.

Haven't you been outside
long enough?

No, Franziska.
I like it.

I love living in the countryside.
Don't wony.

- Are you feeling unwell?
- No.

- What's wrong?
- We'd better go in. I'm a bit cold.

Oh, Kitty called.

She asked about you and said
she'll come and visit us very soon.

Kitty's a liar.
She never comes.

I haven't heard from Eveline either.

She's in America, Grandpa.

She could still write
every so often.

Franziska...is that you?

Who is it?

Franziska...
Franziska!

Help!

Help!

Franziska...

Herbert?

Herbert?

Did you hear...

- Hello?
- It's Franz/ska.

- What is it?
- Grandpa...

- What's happened?
- Grandpa...

I ran into his room last night
and found him with his eyes wide open.

He'd fallen next to the bed.
A heart attack.

It was really awful.

Poor Grandpa.

Hadn't we all been hoping
for the old man to die?

- I won't let you say things like that.
- Isn't it true?

There's a nice inheritance
waiting for us.

You, dear little Kitty,

his favourite granddaughter,
will get the biggest portion.

As for Franziska and me,

we'll have our share,
which will be half of Kitty's.

Isn't that right, darling,
or are we going to spit on it?

You're vile, Herbert.

Well, Kitty?

I've got nothing to say.
We already agreed.

Why the long face?
Our lives are about to change.

If you're referring to myjob,
you're wrong. I'm not giving it up.

Last night I saw the Red Queen
in the park.

I told you, didn't I?

Herbert had gone down to the library.
He couldn't sleep.

All of a sudden he heard a yeII

and a chilling laugh.

He ran to the window
and saw the Red Queen running away.

That's ridiculous.

It was just his imagination.

I know, it was just his imagination.

But, Kitty...

I heard that laugh too.

- And there's something else.
- What?

Didn't Herbert tell you

that the Red Queen

had Eveline's face?

No, Franz/ska, it can 't be true.

Yes, I know.
We know that Eveline's dead.

Come here a minute.

Good.
Just like that.

Ready, Lulu?

Keep your back straight
on the Vespa.

Frederick,
send them all to the lab.

Help sort those models out
and then come back here.

All right, Kitty.

Frederick, set the camera up
for shooting in colour.

Look at those two lovebirds,
Lenore.

He's trying to forget his crazy wife
and she's doing all she can...

- Hi. How are you?
- Hi.

- Tired?
- A bit.

- You need a rest, darling.
- I know.

Come to my office,
I want to talk about next summer's models.

I think Martin's
pretty good-looking.

Will your sister be there
for the reading of the will?

No, Eveline's still in America,
I told you.

We don't even know her address.
I've tried to find her but...

Why are you so interested
in my sister?

Why are you getting upset?
I don't see what the problem is.

Until a few months ago
you couldn't stop talking about her.

You're right.

It was liberating,
as if I was breaking free from her.

Eveline tormented
and humiliated me for years.

But despite all that, Martin,
I really miss her.

"I, Tobias Wildenbruck, being in full
possession of my mental faculties,

"write and declare the following.

"On this day, January 12th 1972,
I decree

"that when my death comes
during this fateful year,

"which is to be expected
with my unstable state of health,

"to prevent serious misfortune
from striking our family,

"my estate shall not be divided
among my heirs

"until the current year is over.

"At the start of the new year

"Mr Bauer, my chosen executor,

"will open the envelope enclosed here,
which he will keep until then,

"containing the list of my assets

"and my instructions for dividing them
among my granddaughters,

"Kitty Wildenbruck,
Franziska Wildenbruck Zieler,

"Eveline Wildenbruck."

That's all. Who knows
what Mr Wildenbruck was thinking?

He'd been behaving
pretty strangely recently.

- Goodbye, Miss Franziska.
- Goodbye.

- Miss Kitty.
- Goodbye.

There's no logic to the will.

What difference does it make if we have
our inheritance now or in a year's time?

Grandpa didn't believe
in the legend.

I guess it's not a bad thing.

Why?

For Eveline.
We've got more time.

You go ahead, Franziska.
I'II close the door.

Scream and I'll slit your throat.

Listen to me, Kitty.

I've been looking for Eveline for months.
I want her.

- I want her!
- I know.

I know Eveline's not in America.

I don't know where she is,
but she's here.

You can't do this to me, Kitty.

I can't live without Eveline.
It's up to you.

Nobody can help you.
I could kill you right now.

Kitty?

Kitty!

- Go on, answer her.
- I'm coming.

I won't hurt you.

You just need to tell me
where Eveline is,

or else I'll kill you.

I'II slit your throat.

Listen, I don't know anything.

I don't know where Eveline is.
Wait...

You're lying!
You know but you don't want to say it.

I love Eveline.

And I want the money.
Actually, I don't give a damn about Eveline.

I want money.
Lots of money.

I'll get in touch when I need it,
understand?

Lots, lots of money...

Yes...

Yes...

Of course.

Yes.

You called for me, Hans?

Let's hear
what Martin has to say,

our brilliant and indispensable
deputy manager.

Who's idea was
this publicity campaign?

Our publicity manager.
He's in Paris, remember?

He's incompetent.
Conceited and incompetent.

We want to dress everyone in Germany.
This isn't how to manage a firm!

I've always been very professional.

Isn't this a high-quality campaign
for high-quality clothes?

The campaign mustn't be elitist.

I want everyone in Germany
to wear our clothes.

We can achieve this goal by

producing quality garments
for the masses.

I want Springe to be
the Mercedes of clothing.

Don't forget this slogan,
Miss RoseIIi.

And you too, Martin.
It could come in useful.

But not at Springe while I'm here.
You don't have the right qualities.

That's all for today, Lulu. I'm tired.
We'll do the rest later.

Take it to the lab
and tell them to overexpose it.

- Is Kitty in there?
- Have you come to see me naked?

Have a look.
What do you think?

- I'll think about it.
- Don't. I wouldn't know what to do with you.

Kitty's a lousy lay, isn't she?

Come back
when you're general manager.

Physically, I like you
much more than Hans.

I'll be in charge soon
and I'll fire you.

We need good models, not whores.

- Kitty's a nice whore.
- Go to hell!

What does your crazy wife
think about Kitty?

Hans!

No!

We'd gone to the park as usual and...

Come in.

We found this a few metres from the body.
Must've got broken in the struggle.

It's covered in the victim's blood.

Miss Palm, don't be afraid.
Tell me what happened.

Why were you there?

Hans was a man... How can I put it?

We had what you can call a "good relationship".
He wasn't like other men.

Not that there aren't other men like Hans,
but he...

He was quite strange,
always looking for some kind of new kicks,

new feelings in sexual relationships.

What did Martin tell you?

The truth, Hans.
That I'm a whore.

And that you only give me work
because I'm your lover.

And, last but not least,
that you're an impotent scumbag.

He's an idiot.

I'm going to throw him
out on the street like a dog

as soon as I get the chance.

Do you like that one?

Yes.
I like her.

All right.

All right, Lulu.

Do you want to earn 1,000 marks?

Yeah.

- Are you up for a threesome?
- I want half upfront.

- I couldn't imagine that...
- Yes, I get it.

- Do you con?rm what Miss Palm said?
- Yeah, sure.

Good.

- You heard a laugh?
- Yes, a horrible chilling laugh.

Like a crazy woman, Inspector.

And you saw
a woman running away?

She was wearing a red cape
and her eyes and hair were black.

I took a real good look at her
as she ran past us.

Her face was long and oval
with prominent features.

Very good.

One more question, Mr Hoffmann.

When do you intend
to re-open the factory?

Tomorrow.

We decided on a single day
of mourning. Springe can't just stop.

We employ 400 people
and their families depend on us.

I imagine you know you'll be
taking over as general manager.

I was wondering
when you were going to ask me that.

I'm the most likely candidate.

I'm already deputy manager.

This morning
the board of directors asked me

to take over
the general manager's duties.

Was there friction
between you and Meyer?

Only differences of opinion
on a professional level.

Any disagreements over women?

- What do you mean?
- I'm talking about Lulu Palm.

She was with Hans Meyer yesterday
when he was murdered.

I have no interest in that woman.

Yesterday you said you'd fire her
as soon as you became general manager.

- What are you talking about?
- Shall we step in here, Mr Hoffmann?

I was looking for you, Rosemary.

I was in the hall earlier.
Didn't you see me?

No.
What are you doing?

I was looking
at Hans Meyer's last drawings.

He wanted to use them
for our new publicity campaign.

- It would have been a big mistake.
- Is that what Martin thinks too?

He was a great general manager.

Once he told me something
that I'll never forget.

"I am our company, Springe.

"Without me, my staff would be lost.
They'd dry up like leaves.

"They're just aesthetes.

"They were right to guillotine aesthetes
during the French Revolution."

- Why did you want me?
- We're needed in his office.

This is an identikit
of Hans Meyer's murderer.

Our experts constructed it
from the witnesses' descriptions.

One of them got a close look
at the woman in the red cape.

Ah, good, have a seat.
We're all here now.

A woman with black eyes and hair.

But it could have been a man
wearing a wig and contact lenses.

You worked closely with Hans Meyer
and knew him well.

This will hopefully
help us solve the case quickly.

Do you recognise that face, Miss?

No...
No, Inspector, de?nitely not.

It could be anybody.

I was just thinking
about poor Hans.

What about you, Miss Rosemary?

You were Meyer's Iover for a year so you
must have known about his strange habits.

Were you ever involved with a woman
like the one in the identikit?

No.

As for you, Miss Palm, Hans Meyer's
last partner before he was killed,

I believe you've left out
several very important details.

I suppose you've never met
the woman in the identikit.

No.

Of course not.

That's all for today.
I'm sorry to have bothered you.

Let's go.

Well, we're done for now.

Should we have a board meeting?

Yes, tomorrow or the day after.

The main thing is to get back to work
with Hans' enthusiasm and focus.

That drawing
reminds me of someone.

Your sister Eveline
in the sketch I did a few months ago.

You're wrong, Lenore.
It's nothing like her.

It's strange
that she never wrote to me.

We were very close.
Don't you have her address?

No.
I haven't heard from her for a while.

I just know
that she lives in America.

But how could Eveline
be connected to Hans Meyer?

I 'm Kitty Wildenbruck
and this is a recording.

If you want to leave a message,
you have 45 seconds after the beep.

This is Eveline...
Eveline...

Are you surprised to hear my voice?

I 've come back from my long journey.

I'm back, Kitty,
and I'm going to kill you too.

You know, I'm finally starting
to understand some things.

What do you mean?

Hans Meyer. He really knew
what he was doing.

His ideas weren't as stupid
as they seemed.

- Are you turning into him?
- No.

No, but I realised
I was wrong about a lot of things.

I see what you mean.

When you're in charge
of a big organisation like Springe

you can't have weaknesses.

It's a war.

It's kill or be killed.

But who would have gained
from killing Hans?

Me, for example.

But it could have been the Red Queen.

I advised Kitty
to buy a block of shares in Springs.

It's an excellent investment.
I also thought...

Herbert, please...

But not straightaway.
We'll need to wait until next year.

There's a financial...

You two are so boring.
All you talk about is business.

Kitty, calm down.
It's me, Franziska.

What's wrong, Kitty?
Calm down.

When I saw you leave the room
I knew you'd come here, but why?

Eveline's got nothing to do
with what's happening. Do you understand?

I want to see...
I want to see that cell with my own eyes.

Don't be silly.

I didn't want to believe you and Herbert
when Grandpa died, but...

You did right.
It's not possible.

Yes, but you too said that...

Herbert saw her, I didn't.

Maybe he really did see her.

What do you mean, Kitty?

EveHne".
Eveline's dead.

But they saw the Red Queen
when Meyer was killed.

Martin says it's possible,
and the police...

- What happened with the police?
- It's horrible.

The police reconstructed
the murderer's face.

It's Eveline's.

Lenore recognised her too.

That night she was wearing a red cloak
like the lady in the painting.

This is crazy, Kitty.
The dead don't come back.

Eveline's buried in the cell.

Don't worry, we'll go and have a look.

Come on.

80 Martin killed Hans Meyer.

It's a war.
It's kill or be killed.

Franziska...

It's the cloak, Kitty.

The Red Queen.

I can't believe
you think I'm guilty.

It's as if
we never knew each other, Kitty.

You're destroying these two years.

I know our situation's not easy
because of my wife.

But you're hiding something from me
and I don't understand why.

Why won't you tell me the truth?

I've told Inspector ToIIer the truth.

He was here.

As soon as Eveline's found,
everything will be clear.

I really hope so, Kitty.

Foryou.
For both of us.

Everything's changing.

There's a dark space in our lives and
we'll end up not understanding each other.

Come on, that's enough.

It's just a dif?cult time.
It'II pass.

That's easy to say, Martin,
but what about us?

What's the point in carrying on?

How can we be so suspicious
of each other?

Please, Kitty.
Everything will get better, you'll see.

Right.
It'II all get better.

Kitty...

No, I'm sorry, but I...

No...

- Kitty, why are you being like this?
- I don't know. I'm scared.

There's something above us.

A mysterious force
that's destroying us,

and there's nothing we can do
to ?ght it.

Walk over to the Mini.

That's it.
Now do a twirl.

No, Rosemary,
I think you've made a mistake.

I'd have stayed on
as Martin's secretary.

I wouldn't have given him
that pleasure.

And watch him following Kitty around
all the time?

No way.

Not for much longer.

I've already set up
my plan of attack.

I'll keep my position as.

the general manager's lover.

We need to talk, Kitty.
It's very important.

All right, everybody ready.

What's the matter?

No, not here. I think I've found out
who the Red Queen is.

Lenore...

Open up.
Open the door!

It's me, Lenore.
Open the door!

Help!

Help!

Help!
Let me out!

Help!

Help!

Let me out!

She works for Springe.

Get back.
Get back!

Get out of here.
There's nothing to see.

25 years old, single.

- No distinguishing features.
- What are you waiting for?

Multiple stab wounds
to the stomach, chest and legs.

Good evening.

May I?

Just one question.

Where were you
at 2:40 this afternoon?

At a board meeting.
There were at least 18 people.

That's enough witnesses.

Am I right in thinking Miss Lenore
Reudberg was your wife's friend?

No, thank you.

They were at secondary school together
and remained friends until...

Right.

How's your wife?
Is she still in that psychiatric hospital?

Yes, unfortunately.

I hope she gets better soon.

Oh, and don't disappearjust yet.
We may need to have another chat.

Yes, of course.

Oh, Martin, it's awful.

Lenore said she wanted to talk to me.
I don't know what about, but...

- And right after that she was...
- Kitty.

I think I know
what she wanted to tell you.

She told me about the police identikit.

Lenore believed that the woman
could be your sister Eveline.

We need to tell the police.

And get even more involved
in this nasty business?

Lenore was wrong.
I'm certain of that.

I saw the identikit too.
It didn't look anything like my sister.

Hold me tight.
I'm so...

So upset...

Hello, Elizabeth.

- You're Martin, aren't you?
- Yes, that's right.

I recognised you straightaway.

- Elizabeth...
- Don't touch me. You're ?lthy.

What do you mean, Elizabeth?
I'm Martin, your husband.

All men are filthy beasts!

Don't touch me. Don't come near me.
I don't want you to!

I'd like to ask you something, Elizabeth.

When I came to see you last week

you told me about a woman.

A woman who comes to visit you.

Yes.

You said her name was...EveIine.

She's my friend.

She comes to see me every night.

We climb over the garden gate,

we run far away
in a green sea of light and we're free...

Free!

What are you talking about, Elizabeth?

I'm not afraid of running in the sea.

I'll do it again.

She promised
to take me away from here.

Eveline tells the truth.

Eveline is good.

You know, Martin,

she said
that you love another woman now.

I'll never let you marry her.

- You can't do it!
- Please...

- You mustn't, Martin!
- Please, Elizabeth...

Please, Elizabeth, calm down.

Calm down.

I've got something important
to tell you.

Eveline will bring me a knife
so I can kill you.

I hate you
and I'm going to kill you Martin.

She talked about someone
who comes to visit her.

A woman. A woman who told her
that she'll help her run away.

Your wife
is in a permanent hallucinatory state.

At this stage in the treatment

the drugs can increase
the intensity of the hallucinations.

Professor, could you please keep my wife
under close observation?

Hello?

Who is it?

The gate was open.

I've had a visit from the police.

ToIIer?

That's right.
He was over at my house until an hour ago.

Well?

You know what they suspect?

That we killed Hans Meyer together.
You and I.

You'd become general manager
and I'd be your lover.

That wasn't exactly what he said,

but he tactfully implied that

things may well have taken that course.

And I suppose he must have
some idea of how we did it too.

Of course.

Something like this:

I take Hans to that park,

I set up an alibi with that prostitute

and you kill him.

Sure.
Dressed as a woman in a red cape.

I think this is the only thing
that's puzzling them.

ToIIer isn't too worried about details,
though.

Lenore must have known something.

She knew you. She was
your wife's friend, and your friend too.

This time you set up your alibi
by calling a board meeting.

I take advantage of the fact
that I'm with Lenore all day at work,

and when we're on our break...
I kill her.

But you're not my lover,
so there's no motive.

That's a detail
that I didn't want to question.

Why?

You ask me why? I really do want
to be your lover. Don't you believe me?

I've already got enough women.

Sure, a wife in a psychiatric hospth
and a lover. Kitty.

I bet when you go to bed you
don't make love, you just talk about it.

What if I like talking about love?

Whatever,
but I don't understand why you're angry.

Do you really want
to turn down a woman like me?

Since you can have us both,

you could talk about love with her
and have a good time with me.

I know some special tricks.
You've heard me talking about them.

Even the police know
I'm an incredible nymphomaniac.

As you can see,
my charms are having some effect.

I never said I wasn't attracted...

...to a woman like you.

I've always loved you, Martin.

You've always loved
the general manager.

That's really pretty.
I've never seen it on you before.

I only wear it on special occasions.

It's very old, Martin.
A friend gave it to me.

I'II ?nish undressing you.
I like it.

Elizabeth...
Elizabeth, come here.

I'm waiting for you.

EveHne.

Take me away, Eveline.
Now.

I want to come away with you.
Set me free!

Give me the knife first.

If you want, Elizabeth.

- Mrs Hoffmann!
- Over there, at the gate.

- She's here, Doctor.
- Slowly... Slowly... There...

Put her down there.
Nice and easy.

EveHne".

Yesterday you spoke to the consultant
at the hospital, Professor Wendel.

You said a woman had promised
to help your wife escape

and you asked him to put her
under close observation.

- Is that correct?
- Yes, it is.

I just repeated the words
my wife had said to me.

Words that only you heard.

An excellent way
to construct an alibi, Mr Hoffmann.

Right.
Another alibi.

- It's easy to turn everything against me.
- Yes, it is.

If I was in your shoes,
I'd be pretty worried.

Thank you.

Ah, yes, I forgot.

About a month ago,
your wife wrote a will.

What?

She left everything she owned
to the Mental Health Research Institute.

Here goes part of your motive
for murdering Mrs Hoffmann.

But you knew very well that
your wife Elizabeth was getting better.

Professor Wendel told you.

But at the time of her murder,

your wife didn't have all her mental capacity.

Therefore...

you are the only heir to her estate.

But...where was this will?

It was found among
the personal effects of your wife's friend,

Lenore Reudberg.
The Springe designer,

who was also murdered.

Rosemary.

What are you doing here?

I don't know. They called me at work
and asked me to come in.

I don't even know
what they want or what's happened.

My wife was murdered last night.

Thank you.

- Inspector ToIIer.
- Good morning.

Please, have a seat.

Thank you.

I'd like to ask you a few questions about
Elizabeth Hoffmann's murder last night.

I only heard about the tragic event
just now, from Mr Hoffmann.

I don't understand
why I've been...

Would you mind listening to a phone call
I received a few hours ago?

Hello? Police?
I'd like to speak to Inspector ToIIer.

- Hold the line.
- Inspector Toller speaking.

Inspector, if you want to know more
about Elizabeth Hoffmann,

Who was killed last night,

you need to speak
to Rosemary Mal/er from Springe.

I don't understand.

Rosemary Mal/er.

Hello ? Hello ?

So, did you recognise the voice?
Do you suspect anybody?

No.

It doesn't matter.

One more thing, Miss MUIIer.

- Where were you last night at 1.30?
- At home, in bed.

- Do you live alone?
- Yes.

Did you make or receive a phone call
around that time?

No.

Actually, yes, Inspector,
I did make a call but nobody answered.

I left a message
on the answering machine.

It was about postponing
a work meeting.

Answering machines
don't record the times of calls.

No, of course not.

Who was the message for?

Kitty Wildenbruck.

Martin Hoffmann's lover, right?

You resigned as his secretary,
didn't you?

Yes.

Why?

We had different ideas
about managing Springe.

Springe... All the murders
are to do with Springe.

The last victim was Martin Hoffmann's
wife, another Springe connection.

You could be the next victim
of the woman in the red cape.

The fifth...or the sixth.

The seventh
should be Kitty Wildenbruck.

If you know anything
or suspect anyone, you need to talk.

Inspector, I don't know anything.

I've got nothing to be afraid of,
I can assure you.

One last question, Miss MUIIer.

Is the name Eveline familiar?

Kitty has a sister called Eveline but
I think she's been in America for a while.

I already know that.
I've questioned her relatives.

Did you know her personally?

- Why are you asking me this?
- I asked whether or not you knew her.

Was this all of Lenore's material
at Villa Liberty?

I don't know.
I think so.

But now that you mention it,

we may be missing a few rolls.

- All right, thank you. That'II do.
- Kitty.

Kitty, I'm sorry I'm late.
I've just got back from the police station.

Because of Elizabeth's death?

Yes.

Maybe this isn't important,

but before she died
she mentioned a name.

EveHne?

How did you know?

Kitty, we've got to go to the police.
You need to help me.

What do you mean?

Inspector ToIIer needs to know
that the identikit looks like your sister.

I won't let you keep on denying it.

Don't make me do this alone, Kitty.

- No, Martin, I...
- I've got to do this.

There's no other alternative.

I'm suspected of all these murders.

Even my wife's death is a trap.

If anything else happens,
I'm done for.

Martin, are you absolutely sure
it was Eveline?

I don't know.

But why did Elizabeth say her name
just before she died?

You can't be an accomplice
to these terrible crimes. You need to talk.

Look,
Eveline's got nothing to do with this.

It's ridiculous, Martin.
It's not possible.

Why are you so afraid of the police?

Why do you say
it can't have been Eveline?

Well?

Eveline's dead.

I killed her.

What?

Herbert!

Franziska!

Kitty?

What's happened?

- Herbert!
- Kitty!

Kitty...

- Kitty!
- Look.

- I didn't mean to...
- Kitty...

I didn't mean to do it.

It was an accident.

There were times When it seemed
like Eveline was possessed by a demon.

I shouldn't have reacted like that
but I couldn't control myself.

Herbert and Franziska helped me
so that the police wouldn't find out.

Everybody knew
we'd always hated each other.

They would never have believed me.

We hid Eveline's body

in the secret cell in the castle.

But now Eveline...

Eveline's come back
and she kills like the Red Queen.

Back then the last victim
was also her sister, the Black Queen.

The Black Queen.

What are you talking about, Kitty?

Thelegend.

The legend
our grandfather used to tell us

when we were children.

- The legend...
- Come on, darling.

Don't be like this.

Calm down.

You mustn't worry.

We'll figure out what to do, later on.

For now, we're trapped,

both of us.

But we'll get out of this.

You'll see.

- No, Peter...
- Get out my way!

You've gone too far, Peter.
If you don't go I'll call the police.

That's not a good idea.
You'd be more at risk than I would.

What is it?
Are you scared?

I've found out
how Eveline was killed and who did it.

What do you want from me?

More money.
A lot more money.

Or I'll go to the police myself.

I won't say where Eveline is
as long as you keep paying.

It's her share of the inheritance,
after all.

Come on, pay up.

I want more money.
Tonight.

Give it to me!

Let go of me!

I can assure you there wasn't
any negligence on our side.

I'm not looking for a culprit, Professor.

There's a history of insanity in my wife's
family so I can't blame anybody.

Incidentally, can the use of drugs
cause madness?

Yes, and curiously enough,
it's frequent in wealthy families.

We've had patients
from aristocratic families.

We've tried to preserve their anonymity,

like with the Gotterschaums
and the Wildenbrucks.

The Wildenbrucks?

Who?
Kitty Wildenbruck?

Or Franziska Zieler Wildenbruck?

I'm sorry, Mr Hoffmann,
but you're asking for too much information.

Hello, Rosemary.
She says you're going too far.

Kitty doesn't have
any more money

and I'm tired of this business.

It's dangerous.
I've had enough.

You can't back out, Peter.

You're in too deep now.

This is the last time, Rosemary.

When I was tripping the other day,
I found out who the killer was.

Yeah, and I can prove it.

What are you talking about, Peter?

You're a drug addict,
a good-for-nothing.

You're worthless.

Are you sure Kitty won't pay any more?

Yeah.

Not until
she gets her inheritance.

Hold on, Kitty.

- Leave me alone.
- Don't be scared. I need to talk to you.

- It's very important. Please listen to me.
- Let me go!

Peter!

Peter!

EveHne.

- So you're...
- Get in, Peter.

Stop...
Stop!

I wasn't expecting you.
Why have you come here?

The police questioned me again. They
wanted to know about Peter and Eveline.

What are you talking about?
Who's Peter?

- Nobody, don't worry.
- What are you hiding from me?

It's not important, I can assure you.

You're all worked up, darling.
Calm down.

If you don't calm down you'll
give yourself away and we'll be in trouble.

I'm sorry but I can't find the fault.
I'll call the electrician tomorrow.

Come and sit down.

Relax.
You mustn't wony.

Everything will sort itself out,
you'll see.

What's the matter?

- Kitty, what a surprise.
- Hello, Herbert.

We haven't seen each other
for a while. How are you?

I was wondering
where our Kitty had gone to.

Why don't you stay at the castle?

Stay with us for a few days.
Would you like that?

You tell her, darling.

There's no need, Herbert.
Kitty's at home here.

She knows
it's always a pleasure for us.

The two of us are so lonely here.

Excuse me.

Kitty!

- Haven't you seen her?
- She can't have disappeared.

- Where could she be?
- In the cells.

Kitty!

Kitty!

Kitty!

You killed me.

I've come back to get my revenge.

Kitty!

- The Red Queen... Up there.
- Kitty?

She's in the tomb.

Calm down, Kitty.

- Calm down. Stop this.
- Up there!

Kitty.

Kitty!

Hello, darling.

- Hello, Martin.
- Do you know Piaget?

I popped in the shop.

Look.

Do you like it?
It's beautiful, isn't it?

It's for you, darling.

Martin.

I can't stand it any longer.
I'm scared.

I've been shut up
in your house for days now,

but I'm scared.

Eveline's in her cell.
I saw her.

I know she's dead

but I also know that she'll kill again
and I don't know what to do.

I could hide or run away, but where?
There's no point.

Come on, Kitty.

Think about it.

It can't happen.
Dead people don't come back.

Yes, you're right,
but there have already been ?ve murders.

And according to the curse,
I must be the seventh victim.

You've forgotten the sixth one.

It could be me.
Why not?

You're right.

You and Eveline, right?

We'd just turned nine.

It's very old, Martin.
A friend gave it to me.

Was Eveline friends with Lulu?

No, she never met her.

- Are you sure?
- Definitely.

Strange...

Mr Bauer Will open the envelope enclosed
here, which he Will keep until then...

- I have to leave you, Kitty. Sony.
- Martin...

Don't open the door to anyone
and don't go out.

Don't be scared, I'll be back soon.

I found out who you were
after Elizabeth's death.

We can come to an agreement.
It's up to you.

If not, I'm warning you,
I'll go to the police.

- Yes?
- It's Eveline.

You mustn't be afraid.
I can explain everything.

It's not possible.

You're not Eveline.

- Because Eveline's dead.
- No. I'm alive.

I 'm waiting for you at Marktplatz 43.

Come alone
or else you won't ?nd me.

Marktplatz?
Nobody lives in that house.

You have four keys.

One is for my house.

Look in your handbag.

What?

Look in your handbag.
You have four keys.

- Three.
- No. Four.

The fourth key.

Hello ?

Hello ?

Hello ?

- Hello?
-This is the police. Hello?

This is it.

Stop him.

You, check upstairs.

My dear Herbert, I have some questions
for you if you don't mind.

Go on.

A few minutes ago,
Kitty Wildenbruck was here...

- No.
- You're lying.

We received a phone call
from that poor girl.

Before she died she told us
that Kitty Wildenbruck shot her.

It's not true. It was a trap.
When Kitty arrived Lulu was already dead.

- Good evening, Inspector ToIIer.
- Get to work.

So Kitty Wildenbruck was here.

And I was here before her.
I received an anonymous phone call.

The killer is the Red Queen.

She wanted you to think
it was me or Kitty.

The Red Queen again!

Eveline Wildenbruck is dead.
It was her sister Kitty who killed her.

That's not true.
Kitty's not a murderer.

So where's Eveline, then?

We checked.

She never left for America.

Not by plane or any other way,
and not under a false name.

Where is she, then? Why did
she disappear? What happened to her?

Why did she leave all her friends
and relatives without a single word?

I know why.

She was going to inherit a fortune.

Who would benefit more
from getting rid of her than Kitty?

And if it wasn't Kitty Wildenbruck...

who killed Eveline Wildenbruck?

EveHne".

Eveline's dead, Inspector.

But Kitty's innocent.
Kitty didn't want to kill her.

Kitty?

Kitty?

Franziska?

Franziska?

Herbert?

As I had arranged, now that
the year of the curse has passed,

I decree, in full possession
of my mental faculties,

that my estate,
including the castle in Neustein,

shall be divided into four equal shares
among my heirs.

Kitty Wildenbruck,
to Whom I also leave the castle,

Franz/ska Wildenbruck Zieler,

Rosemary. . .

And, ?nally, to the one
Who took the name of Eveline,

dear Eveline,
orphan ?om a family of peasants,

Who made it possible
for the curse to remain unful?lled,

I also leave my hunting lands...

Franziska?

Franziska?

Franziska!

Herbert?

Franziska?

Kitty, |...

It was her!

It's her!
Now she'll kill you too.

It was Franziska.

Franziska?

Rosemary?

Open up!
Open up, Franziska!

Open the door!
Open the door!

Kitty!

What...

- Tell me where Kitty is, Franziska.
- I...don't know.

Don't be ridiculous.
I know everything, and this is her car.

I...haven't seen her.

There's no point in pretending any more.

Tell me the truth, Franziska.

Look, I've got the will here.

Rosemary is Kitty's real sister.
She's Eveline, isn't she, Franziska?

Tobias switched them when
they were little, to try to break the curse.

The girl who thought she was Eveline

was the daughter of poor peasants
who'd sold her.

It's written here, Franziska, in the letter
that was supposed to be opened next year.

Now tell me where Kitty is.

Nobody can do anything now.

You can't do anything for Kitty.

Kitty's lost.
She got what she deserved.

I wanted the Whole Wildenbruck estate...
the properties, the castle.

Why should I share it
With Kitty and Eveline?

She wasn't even a Wildenbruck.

I was the only one
Who was close to old Tobias at the end.

I nursed him,
I sacri?ced myself for him.

It was at that moment,
when I saw Eveline in the lake,

that something snapped inside me.

I would kill them all
and be the only Wildenbruck left.

I knew the secret of the Will.

I traced Rosemary Mal/er myself.

I found her a job at Springe.
I told her she was a Wildenbruck.

I started to in?uence her.
The Red Queen, the legend...

I got her into drugs.
Peter helped me a lot.

We blackmailed Kitty
to keep Eveline's death secret.

Under the effect of drugs,
Rosemary started killing.

People from her world,
Hans Meyer, Lulu, Lenore and your wife.

And Kitty. She would have killed her.
She would have done it.

Rosemary was
the instrument of my revenge.

But then she became afraid.

Afraid of her own murderous madness,
so I killed her.

- Yes, I killed her. I did.
- Tell me where Kitty is or I'll kill you.

- Martin, let's come to an agreement...
- You're crazy, Franziska!

Come on, talk.

Tell me where Kitty is or I'll kill you.

Martin, you don't...

There's no escape for Kitty now.

Listen to me.

You and I,
we can have everything.

You won't kill me.
You can't kill me.

You and me, Martin.

It's all over for Herbert too.
I sent him to Marktplatz.

They've charged him with Lulu's murder.

I couldn't stand living with that cripple
any longer.

The lame bastard!

No, Herbert!
Don't!

Herbert, no!
No, Herbert!

Franziska?

Franziska...

I'm dying,
but you won't be happy.

Nobody will be happy.
Nobody!

Kitty...
Save her.

There's a secret cell
in the basement.

It's behind a slab of marble.

We need to hurry, Martin.

- Herbert.
- Yes, Martin?

Save Kitty.

- Hello?
- Police...

Wildenbruck Castle.

Go easy with that wheel.

Be ready with the stretcher.
Get a move on!

Look out, Herbert!

Hang on!

Quick!
Help her.

Quick!

Herbert ZieIer, aged 38.

Franziska Zieler Wildenbruck,
aged 34.

The man was drowned
in the basement of the castle.

The woman has gunshot wounds.

Martin Hoffmann, aged 35

was stabbed in the chest
with a sharp knife.
