00:01:30Who are your friends?
00:01:31My date for the afternoon.
00:01:33You're 20 minutes late.
00:01:35Sorry.
00:01:36You hear that?
00:01:37He says he's sorry.
00:01:39You think I should marry a man
00:01:40who's late for his appointment?
00:01:43She's proposing again.
00:01:45Only for the 17th time.
00:01:47You waited all your life for the perfect maid.
00:01:49What's 20 minutes more?
00:01:52You should get over that inferiority complex.
00:02:03What's wrong?
00:02:04Nothing, I didn't get much sleep last night.
00:02:06Or the night before, or the night before that.
00:02:09Why don't you see your doctor?
00:02:11Or get some sleeping pills.
00:02:13That may help.
00:02:14Wouldn't do any good.
00:02:16Well, let's get some lunch.
00:02:18You haven't got much time left on your lunch hour.
00:02:20There's no rush.
00:02:21Why, did they make you the boss or something?
00:02:24I quit the other day.
00:02:26You didn't tell me that.
00:02:27You said that this job was your big chance in electronics,
00:02:30so that you could develop some of your own ideas.
00:02:33You said it was the kind of security you wanted
00:02:35for us to get married.
00:02:37I know what I said.
00:02:40Be a little patient with me, honey.
00:02:43Please.
00:03:11Oh.
00:03:31How could I explain when I myself couldn't understand it?
00:03:35To try and cover all the updates
00:03:37when I myself couldn't understand it.
00:03:40To dream about a woman night after night,
00:03:43a woman I'd never met, never seen before.
00:03:47And with each dream, she became more real, more alive,
00:03:50until it seemed that if my hand reached out,
00:03:52I could have touched her.
00:03:55Some will, stronger than my own, brought me here.
00:03:59Nothing was familiar to me.
00:04:00I'd never been here before, and yet I wasn't lost.
00:04:05An unknown force was guiding my steps,
00:04:08leading me to this courtyard.
00:04:10There was something here that was
00:04:12drawing me close, like a magnet.
00:04:16I could feel it pulling me closer, closer.
00:04:23And then, I saw it.
00:04:36That's it.
00:04:38That face, it's the same face of the woman
00:04:40who comes to me in my dreams.
00:04:41It's fantastic.
00:04:43Oh, darling, it's probably just a coincidence.
00:04:46That's she all right.
00:04:48Well, then, let's go inside and see who posed for it.
00:04:51More than likely, it's someone you know,
00:04:52and that would explain everything.
00:04:54Hello, Mr. Turner.
00:04:56I have the doll ready for you.
00:04:58You, you know my name?
00:05:00Oh, I pride myself on my memory.
00:05:02You left your name when you brought in this picture
00:05:06for the portrait doll.
00:05:07Remarkable resemblance, don't you think?
00:05:09You know, I've never seen a doll that looks like you.
00:05:11It's a little bit strange.
00:05:13It's a picture of a woman.
00:05:15That's what I'm saying.
00:05:15You know, I've never seen a doll that looks like you.
00:05:18It's a picture of a woman.
00:05:19It's a picture of a woman.
00:05:20Well, then, I'm sure the picture's
00:05:21exactly what you're looking for.
00:05:22Yes, yes, but there must be some mistake.
00:05:26Mistake?
00:05:27Oh, I don't think so.
00:05:29Let me check your order.
00:05:30Excuse me.
00:05:34Donna, I didn't bring that photo in.
00:05:36He just mistook you for someone else.
00:05:39I don't understand this.
00:05:41First I dream of a face, then I see that face on a doll.
00:05:45Now I'm told I brought that photo in.
00:05:47You're making too much out of it, Rick.
00:05:49There's just been a misunderstanding somewhere.
00:05:51But he knew my name.
00:05:53Do you walk in your sleep?
00:05:54No, and I'm not leading a double life.
00:05:56Are you trying to convince me or yourself?
00:05:59Would I have brought you here if I were?
00:06:02I'm only kidding, Rick.
00:06:04Don't be so touchy.
00:06:06You'll see.
00:06:07There's a perfectly logical explanation for all this.
00:06:10Some of your friends have weird ideas of humor.
00:06:12Maybe one of them is playing a...
00:06:16Rick, that's me.
00:06:22Sure looks like you.
00:06:23It is me.
00:06:26Where do you get these ideas?
00:06:27What are you talking about?
00:06:29The doll, of course.
00:06:30Honestly, Rick, it was sweet of you to have it made for me.
00:06:35But why all the mystery?
00:06:37You went to so much trouble just to make it a surprise.
00:06:40Donna, I didn't order this doll.
00:06:42Darling, you must have.
00:06:44And I'm telling you, I didn't order it.
00:06:45Instructions all checked, Mr. Turner.
00:06:47Everything is exactly as you ordered it.
00:06:50Should I wrap it or send it to Miss Bianca Milan?
00:06:53This doll, who ordered it?
00:06:55That one, the lady in the photograph.
00:06:58Take a good look at this picture and Miss Trent here.
00:07:03Yes, I see what you mean.
00:07:05There is a slight resemblance.
00:07:06Slight?
00:07:07That's me.
00:07:09Merely a coincidence.
00:07:11I know the lady who brought this photo in.
00:07:13Look, Mr. Lamont, Francis Lamont.
00:07:18Mr. Lamont, there must be some mistake.
00:07:21I didn't bring in any photo.
00:07:22I didn't order any doll.
00:07:23In fact, I've never even been in here before.
00:07:25If you say so, sir, perhaps I was mistaken.
00:07:28It's paid for, so I'll send it to Miss Milan.
00:07:32Rick, if you're playing some sort of a game,
00:07:35I don't find it very amusing.
00:07:37So let's take my word for it.
00:07:38I'll send it to Miss Milan.
00:07:40Look, just wrap this one up.
00:07:42I'll take this down.
00:07:43This one, I'm afraid, is not for sale.
00:07:46If you'd care to leave a photo,
00:07:48I'd be happy to make one up for this young lady.
00:07:52But she is the lady.
00:07:59No, sir.
00:08:01She is not.
00:08:03She is not.
00:08:05She is not.
00:08:07She is not.
00:08:10Come on, Rick.
00:08:11Let's go.
00:08:40That man, he's frightening.
00:08:42He just stood there looking at me.
00:08:44I don't understand this.
00:08:51Oh!
00:08:52Rick.
00:08:53What is it?
00:08:54Oh, help me, Rick.
00:08:56Take it easy.
00:09:01Oh!
00:09:02Oh!
00:09:03Oh!
00:09:04Oh!
00:09:05Oh!
00:09:06Oh!
00:09:07Oh!
00:09:08Oh!
00:09:09Oh!
00:09:10Oh!
00:09:11Oh!
00:09:12Oh!
00:09:13Oh!
00:09:14Oh!
00:09:15Oh!
00:09:16Oh!
00:09:17Oh!
00:09:18Oh!
00:09:19Oh!
00:09:20Oh!
00:09:21Oh!
00:09:22Oh!
00:09:23Oh!
00:09:24Oh!
00:09:25Oh!
00:09:26Oh!
00:09:27Oh!
00:09:28Oh!
00:09:29Oh!
00:09:30Oh!
00:09:31Oh!
00:09:32Oh!
00:09:33Oh!
00:09:34Oh!
00:09:35Oh!
00:09:36Oh!
00:09:37Oh!
00:09:39Oh!
00:09:44Doctor Wright, report to clinic at once, please.
00:09:47Doctor Wright, report to clinic.
00:09:51How is she, doc?
00:09:52I've just had Dr. Moore corroborate my diagnosis.
00:09:55It's a coronary condition, a muscle spasm of the heart.
00:09:58How bad is it?
00:10:00Well, it's hard to say at this stage.
00:10:02Frankly, her symptoms are a bit puzzling.
00:10:05It all happened so, so fast.
00:10:08It usually does, Mr. Turner.
00:10:09Now, you try not to worry.
00:10:10We're doing everything possible for her.
00:10:12Right now, she's resting quietly under sedation.
00:10:15You better try to get some sleep yourself.
00:10:17You'll be able to see her tomorrow.
00:10:18Thanks, doc.
00:10:29Rick.
00:10:31Rick.
00:10:32Come here.
00:10:34What's the matter?
00:10:35Can't sleep?
00:10:37Relax, Rick.
00:10:40Let's enjoy each other.
00:10:43What shall I do to entertain you?
00:10:46Shall I sing until your head throbs with the sound of my voice?
00:10:51Shall I dance for you until the blood races through your veins?
00:10:57Do you find me desirable?
00:11:00Would you kiss me if you could?
00:11:02Would you hold me if you could?
00:11:05I'm dreaming, I must be.
00:11:08What do you want?
00:11:10You.
00:11:13Who are you?
00:11:14The man at the doll shop told you.
00:11:17Bianca Milano.
00:11:19The address is on the back of the photograph.
00:11:22Get it, Rick.
00:11:24And bring the doll.
00:11:26It's so simple.
00:11:28Why torture yourself?
00:11:30I don't know.
00:11:31It's so simple.
00:11:33Why torture yourself any longer?
00:11:36I'm waiting for you.
00:11:45Now, Mr. Turner can only stay a few minutes.
00:11:48You're not to get excited.
00:11:49But I always get excited when I see Rick.
00:11:52Well, I don't blame you. He's quite a man.
00:11:58You have three minutes, Mr. Turner.
00:12:01How do you feel?
00:12:02Like a steamroller hit me.
00:12:04Well, that makes two of us.
00:12:07You didn't tell me before you had trouble.
00:12:09With your heart, I mean.
00:12:10I didn't.
00:12:11Until I fell in love with you.
00:12:14That will teach me never to be jealous again.
00:12:17Well, that'll be a help.
00:12:21What are you planning?
00:12:25I'm not supposed to get you excited.
00:12:28I'm not supposed to get you excited.
00:12:30Tell me, Rick.
00:12:32Yesterday I told you I didn't know any more about those dolls than you do.
00:12:35Yes?
00:12:36That was the truth, Donna.
00:12:39Last night I had another dream, or vision, or whatever the devil you want to call it.
00:12:44The same girl?
00:12:45Only this time she spoke to me.
00:12:47She said if I wanted to find the answer to all this,
00:12:49all I had to do was bring the doll to her.
00:12:52Why isn't she helpful?
00:12:54Well, I've got to see her, don't you see?
00:12:57I've got to find out whether she's real or not.
00:13:00Once and for all I've got to get this thing off my back.
00:13:04I know you have to see her, darling.
00:13:07I guess I can't help acting like a woman.
00:13:11You've been honest with me and I do believe you, but...
00:13:14But what?
00:13:15Please be careful.
00:13:18Of what?
00:13:20I mean it, Rick.
00:13:23There's more to it than just...
00:13:25Well, call it premonition or woman's intuition if you like, but...
00:13:30I'm afraid.
00:13:32Of what?
00:13:34Afraid I'm going to lose you.
00:13:36To a dream?
00:13:37To a dream that might be real.
00:13:40You're the only real thing in my life.
00:13:47Oh, Rick, I love you so.
00:13:50Who prescribed that?
00:13:52Who prescribed that?
00:13:55Best medicine in the world.
00:13:57Good for whatever ails you.
00:13:59When I think of the time I've wasted on vitamin pills...
00:14:03Take care of yourself, darling. I'll see you soon.
00:14:06Rick, be careful.
00:14:09Of the doll.
00:14:22Oh, Mr. Turner.
00:14:24I do hope I wasn't indiscreet yesterday.
00:14:27No, no.
00:14:29Miss Trent, the young lady who was with me,
00:14:31was just a little upset at seeing her photograph
00:14:33and that doll.
00:14:35Of course.
00:14:37I'm sorry.
00:14:39I'm sorry.
00:14:41I'm sorry.
00:14:43I'm sorry.
00:14:45I'm sorry.
00:14:47I'm sorry.
00:14:49I'm sorry.
00:14:50Of course.
00:14:51May I see the name on the back of that photograph?
00:14:53The one you think is Miss Trent?
00:14:55Yes.
00:14:56I'm sorry, but the doll and picture
00:14:58were picked up by the owner this morning.
00:15:00Oh.
00:15:02Well, then I'll take that other doll,
00:15:04the one of Miss...
00:15:05Bianca Milan?
00:15:07I anticipated your coming back.
00:15:12How much do I owe you?
00:15:14You paid me when you placed the order.
00:15:16Did I?
00:15:18In full.
00:15:20Good day, Mr. Turner.
00:15:23Yeah.
00:15:50Miss Bianca Milan.
00:15:52Mr. Turner.
00:15:54I've been expecting you.
00:15:56Do come in.
00:16:01You knew I was coming?
00:16:03Of course.
00:16:05You were expecting me to deliver this.
00:16:20Lovely.
00:16:23The resemblance is amazing, don't you think?
00:16:27Shall we have a drink?
00:16:30I prefer a little conversation,
00:16:32like my questions and your answers.
00:16:34There's time, lots of it.
00:16:37Come, help me.
00:16:50This is our first drink together.
00:16:52We should mark the occasion with a toast.
00:16:57To the first of many things together.
00:17:00Such as dreams and portrait dolls.
00:17:04And the sweet mysteries of life.
00:17:17I hope you're hungry.
00:17:19I thought you might like to dine here.
00:17:21Just the two of us.
00:17:23My servant, Ahmed,
00:17:25does very well with Occidental dishes.
00:17:29You may serve us now, Ahmed.
00:17:32Ahmed cannot speak.
00:17:34I'm a little speechless myself.
00:17:37I found him in Tibet.
00:17:39He belonged to an ancient cult of worshipers
00:17:41who believed sacrifice brings immortality.
00:17:45His tongue was his sacrifice.
00:17:47The world has many strange religions.
00:17:55Forgive me for being so persistent,
00:17:57but what made you so sure I was coming here tonight?
00:18:00I invited you and you accepted.
00:18:10Let's be more specific.
00:18:12I'm here for just one reason.
00:18:14I know what it is.
00:18:16I know why you're here, Rick.
00:18:18When you know about the dreams.
00:18:20Naturally.
00:18:22It's a simple process of thought projection
00:18:24or thought transference.
00:18:27Thought projection?
00:18:30You're telling me that you danced
00:18:32and talked to me from this apartment
00:18:34and I received your image and voice in my room?
00:18:37You doubt me?
00:18:39Of course not.
00:18:41I'll get you the number of a good psychiatrist.
00:18:43Maybe I'm a little dense,
00:18:45but I don't understand all of this.
00:18:47What puzzled you?
00:18:49Well, for one thing, why me?
00:18:52You appeal to me.
00:18:54Why does a woman with your attributes
00:18:56have to go to these extremes
00:18:58to have a man visit her?
00:19:00Why didn't you just whistle or something?
00:19:02Would you have answered?
00:19:04Perhaps not.
00:19:06I don't know.
00:19:08I don't know.
00:19:10I don't know.
00:19:11Perhaps not.
00:19:13But then I'm going to be married.
00:19:15There's your answer then.
00:19:17I had to condition you,
00:19:19wear down your resistance,
00:19:21make you want me.
00:19:23So I visited you through mental projection.
00:19:27You may not admit it,
00:19:29but I am firmly planted in your subconscious.
00:19:32Could be.
00:19:34But what's so special about me
00:19:36that put you through so much trouble?
00:19:38I saw you, I wanted you.
00:19:40That made you special.
00:19:42We can't always have everything we want.
00:19:45I can.
00:19:49This, uh,
00:19:51this thought projection,
00:19:54is it a special power you have
00:19:56or can anyone play?
00:20:04Will you prepare a drink
00:20:06for Mr. Turner and myself, Emmett?
00:20:08Relax, Rick.
00:20:10Make yourself comfortable.
00:20:20Recognize him?
00:20:22Me?
00:20:24It helps in concentrating
00:20:26to have the image of the person
00:20:28to whom one's thoughts are directed.
00:20:33Who gave you the recipe,
00:20:35Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde?
00:20:37You're amused.
00:20:39I'm sorry.
00:20:41I'll take you seriously, I promise.
00:20:50Tastes like devil's brew.
00:21:07I can bridge any distance between us,
00:21:10no matter how great or how small.
00:21:14Concentration is essential.
00:21:17I can tell when I've made contact with you,
00:21:20when my thoughts and my image have reached you.
00:21:24Just relax and close your eyes.
00:21:28I can feel you.
00:21:30I can feel you.
00:21:32I can feel you.
00:21:34I can feel you.
00:21:36Just relax and close your eyes
00:21:39while I concentrate.
00:21:42Oh, great God.
00:21:47Open your eyes, Rick.
00:21:50You can see me quite clearly now.
00:21:52Tell me what you see.
00:21:54I see.
00:21:58I see through you.
00:22:01You're transparent.
00:22:04You cast no shadow
00:22:06no reflection.
00:22:08There are disturbances around you.
00:22:11Wind, thunder, lightning.
00:22:16You're not real.
00:22:19You're...
00:22:22You're...
00:22:23Turn around, Rick.
00:22:24I'm here behind you.
00:22:32What are you?
00:22:34Don't you know?
00:22:36You're a she-devil.
00:22:39A witch?
00:22:41You're evil.
00:22:44But beautiful, fascinating.
00:22:52Listen, Rick.
00:22:53As I once was,
00:22:55you would not have looked at me.
00:22:57I was unhappy and lost
00:22:59until I discovered Gamba.
00:23:01Gamba?
00:23:03The devil god of evil.
00:23:04I belong to a cult that worships Gamba.
00:23:07You met the high executioner
00:23:09at the doll shop, Francis Lamont.
00:23:12And he gave you this power of thought projection?
00:23:15It's more than that.
00:23:17I've been given the power
00:23:19to control my destiny.
00:23:23I've had everything life could offer
00:23:25until I saw you.
00:23:28I wanted you
00:23:30just as much as you want me now.
00:23:32You've already begun to forget,
00:23:34Donald Trent.
00:23:39You really are a witch.
00:23:47She-devil, whatever you are,
00:23:49I want you.
00:23:51You must become one of us first.
00:23:53Anything.
00:23:55You must take the both to Gamba.
00:23:57Tomorrow.
00:24:02Now.
00:24:06There's a meeting in progress.
00:24:09The high executioner
00:24:11will perform the rites at midnight.
00:24:13We must hurry.
00:24:32Come on, Rick.
00:24:33Come on, Rick.
00:25:04Welcome.
00:25:06The ceremony is underway.
00:25:08Good evening, Francis.
00:25:10Mr. Turner wishes to join us.
00:25:12I shall perform the rites after the sacrifice.
00:25:14Shall we go in?
00:25:28Our goddess of love.
00:25:29Bianca is our living image.
00:26:00Our goddess of love.
00:26:02Bianca is our living image.
00:26:04Bianca is our living image.
00:26:06Bianca is our living image.
00:26:08Bianca is our living image.
00:26:10Bianca is our living image.
00:26:12Bianca is our living image.
00:26:14Bianca is our living image.
00:26:16Bianca is our living image.
00:26:18Bianca is our living image.
00:26:20Bianca is our living image.
00:26:22Bianca is our living image.
00:26:24Bianca is our living image.
00:26:26Bianca is our living image.
00:26:28Bianca is our living image.
00:26:30Bianca is our living image.
00:26:32Bianca is our living image.
00:26:34Bianca is our living image.
00:26:35Bianca is our living image.
00:26:57Tonight is the first night
00:26:58It's the first night of the full moon.
00:27:01We must offer up sacrifice to Gamba.
00:27:04It's the Devil God's decree that we offer a human for appeasement.
00:27:09A human? You mean they're going to kill somebody?
00:27:12Not necessarily.
00:27:14But a human is going to be offered on the altar of sacrifice.
00:27:18And it's up to Gamba to decide.
00:27:23How does he make his decision?
00:27:25It's like Russian roulette, except the odds are greater.
00:27:29Look up there.
00:27:31In our ceremony, we use a sword,
00:27:34concealed in one of the covers hanging from the wheel.
00:27:38The wheel is spun, and Gamba makes his decision.
00:27:43The cover is lowered upon the heart of the subject.
00:27:47If the sword is in the cover, it pierces the heart.
00:27:52If Gamba decides to spare his subject,
00:27:55the cover bends harmlessly.
00:28:00Sounds like a million laughs.
00:28:03Does everybody get to play?
00:28:05No.
00:28:07The subject is selected when in doubt of his loyalty during his test period.
00:28:14Have you ever been...
00:28:15My loyalty has been proven.
00:28:53Oh, worshippers of Gamba, the great devil god,
00:28:58hear me well.
00:29:00Tonight is the first night of the full moon.
00:29:04The tides rise to their highest level,
00:29:08and vibrations fill the air.
00:29:10It is a time for restlessness and madness.
00:29:13It is a time for death.
00:29:15For Gamba decrees it.
00:29:18For Gamba decrees it.
00:29:21Gamba, the great devil god, commands that one of you be tested.
00:29:29A human sacrifice must be offered.
00:29:33Only Gamba can determine whether a life will be taken.
00:29:37The judgment is his.
00:29:42Bring in the subject.
00:30:19Oh, Gamba, great devil god, ruler of man's destiny,
00:30:25we offer this lovely girl on the sacrificial altar.
00:30:28You alone, in your wisdom, will judge her.
00:30:33If she is unworthy, if her loyalty is in doubt,
00:30:36then she must be punished.
00:30:39But should she prove deserving and fit to serve you,
00:30:43your power alone will spare her.
00:31:04Oh, great Gamba, highest executioner, supreme devil god of evil,
00:31:10make your decision.
00:31:12Shall the maiden live or die?
00:31:40Gamba.
00:31:57Gamba.
00:31:59Gamba.
00:32:01Gamba.
00:32:03Gamba protects his own. The girl lives.
00:32:06Oh, thank you, great Gamba.
00:32:11You have proven yourself well.
00:32:20It's our turn now.
00:32:29He has been informed of our code and beliefs?
00:32:33Yes, high executioner.
00:32:35Kneel.
00:32:37Kneel.
00:32:43Oh, great Gamba, we offer a new subject who has come to join us.
00:32:49During his trial period, watch him, study him,
00:32:52and then test him, oh, great devil god.
00:32:57Will you swear absolute allegiance to the great devil god Gamba?
00:33:01I will.
00:33:03Will you follow his commands without question,
00:33:06though it means someone's destruction, even your own?
00:33:10I will.
00:33:12You will, above all else, seal your lips and swear yourself to secrecy.
00:33:17I will.
00:33:20You, his sponsor, will be held accountable.
00:33:23Do you accept this responsibility?
00:33:26I do.
00:33:28It is done.
00:33:30From this moment on, there is no turning back.
00:33:33You are one of us now, a member of the cult of the great devil god Gamba.
00:33:38Guard this privilege well.
00:33:47Is that all?
00:33:49For now.
00:33:53A new life is going to begin for you, Rick.
00:33:56Take me home.
00:34:03THE END
00:34:34You still don't quite believe, do you, darling?
00:34:37You have renounced goodness.
00:34:40Forsaken virtue.
00:34:51You'll never escape me, darling.
00:34:54I know it.
00:34:56God help me, I want it this way.
00:35:04THE END
00:35:16That makes eight straight.
00:35:18It's incredible, right, Horse Polly?
00:35:20Happens all the time.
00:35:27I just can't get over it.
00:35:30Last week you called me and said, buy every available share.
00:35:33Today it started to skyrocket.
00:35:36Last week you said, sell Amalgamated Industries.
00:35:40And the bottom dropped out.
00:35:43Just lucky, I guess.
00:35:45Something more than that.
00:35:47Someone is giving you some very valuable tips.
00:35:51Well, let's just say I have a good advisor.
00:35:55Goodbye, Mr. Bennet.
00:35:57Goodbye.
00:36:00THE NEXT DAY
00:36:31THE END
00:36:36Here we are.
00:36:39You should feel very proud of your protege.
00:36:43He's passed every test so far.
00:36:46Not once has he weakened an attempted contact with Miss Trent.
00:36:49I never thought he would.
00:36:51Your confidence in him is quite admirable, my dear.
00:36:54I am a little surprised.
00:36:56At what?
00:36:59Well, this little romance of yours has lasted longer than the others.
00:37:03I've always come back to you, Francis.
00:37:06Of course.
00:37:08That's why I can afford to be so tolerant of your brief affairs.
00:37:12You will keep this one brief, won't you, my dear?
00:37:17THE NEXT DAY
00:37:23Your Rick will receive the loyalty test now.
00:37:27I hope he merits your belief in him.
00:37:32THE NEXT DAY
00:37:44Well, if it isn't Rick Turner, Bianca's private property.
00:37:49What are you doing here?
00:37:51I'm lost. Where's the nearest bar?
00:37:53Looks like you've had enough already.
00:37:55Rick, I'm in trouble. Isn't there someplace we can go and talk?
00:38:00Come on.
00:38:05Come on.
00:38:08Coffee's still hot. Would you like some?
00:38:10This is what I need.
00:38:17You'd better drink this.
00:38:19Dear.
00:38:30What's your problem?
00:38:34How do you get out, Rick? How do you get your soul back?
00:38:38The devil's got gone, but he's got your soul, too.
00:38:41Don't you want it back?
00:38:43You don't know what you're saying. You're drunk.
00:38:46I've got to get out of here, too.
00:38:48You've been sworn to secrecy. We all have.
00:38:51For your own sake, don't say any more.
00:38:53Why? Would you tell on me?
00:38:56What makes you think I won't?
00:38:58Well, you're not the type.
00:39:00You don't belong in this any more than I do.
00:39:03You should have thought of that before you joined.
00:39:05Well, you don't know.
00:39:07They play with evil like it was some kind of a new toy.
00:39:13They cut all the goodness out of you, and you forget what it's like to be kind.
00:39:19You become a robot without any will of your own.
00:39:23And the things they make you do.
00:39:26But suddenly, they don't have to make you do those things any more.
00:39:29You do them because you want to, and then it's too late,
00:39:32because you're past all decency.
00:39:35Shut up.
00:39:38You're afraid. Not for me, but for yourself.
00:39:43Oh, I know the pattern well.
00:39:45Bianca has used her powers for you, hasn't she?
00:39:48She's given you a taste of easy money,
00:39:50and shown you what you'll be able to do when you receive these powers.
00:39:52Stop it.
00:39:53It's not worth it, Rick.
00:39:55Believe me, I know.
00:39:58I'd give anything to go back, to live again without fear.
00:40:02You'd better go.
00:40:07You are afraid.
00:40:09Just get out of here. I should never have listened to you.
00:40:11Go on, get out. I don't want to hear any more.
00:40:15Tell Miss Milan I'm here.
00:40:24Whatever you're drinking, I'll have one, too.
00:40:28You don't have to.
00:40:30I'm not going to.
00:40:32I'm not going to.
00:40:34I'm not going to.
00:40:36I'm not going to.
00:40:38I'm not going to.
00:40:40I'm not going to.
00:40:42I'm not going to.
00:40:54My darling, you're trembling.
00:40:56Am I?
00:41:00Bianca, what would you do if I told you?
00:41:02What?
00:41:04Nothing.
00:41:06Just thinking out loud.
00:41:09What's troubling you? Maybe I can help.
00:41:12Well, I've learned of it.
00:41:14I mean, I've heard.
00:41:18There's a disloyal member in the cult.
00:41:20Why should this trouble you?
00:41:22She's kind of confused. She's...
00:41:24A woman?
00:41:26There's no problem here.
00:41:28Your duty is clear. You must report her.
00:41:31What will they do to her?
00:41:33That's not your concern.
00:41:37She'll be tested.
00:41:39That's it, isn't it?
00:41:41She'll be placed under the wheel.
00:41:43Bianca, I can't.
00:41:45You must.
00:41:47Have you forgotten your own loyalty may be tested?
00:41:50If you love me,
00:41:52you won't hesitate.
00:41:54Not for a minute.
00:41:56Darling, I took an oath with you.
00:41:58Remember?
00:42:00If you don't report this girl,
00:42:02you place me in equal jeopardy.
00:42:04Rick, darling,
00:42:06I couldn't bear not to see you again.
00:42:12What's keeping him?
00:42:14He'll be here in a minute, darling.
00:42:16Just relax.
00:42:21All these dolls just staring at you.
00:42:24Frank is quite fanatic about them,
00:42:26especially his own.
00:42:28In his eyes, his doll is his soul.
00:42:32Gamber is pleased you've done well, Rick.
00:42:35Hey, what is this?
00:42:37I give him my report to Mr. Romano.
00:42:39You mean this whole thing was a set-up?
00:42:41Precisely.
00:42:43You play some nice games.
00:42:45You may wait for me in the other room.
00:42:47Let's go, Rick.
00:42:49Bianca, I don't wish to detain you,
00:42:51but if you'd give me just a moment more.
00:42:53Excuse me, darling.
00:43:10It'll be fine.
00:43:12Thank you, Francis.
00:43:16Well, are you ready?
00:43:18Mm-hmm.
00:43:20Night, Rick.
00:43:22Night.
00:43:39Good night.
00:44:10Miss?
00:44:12Oh.
00:44:14I thought it was the nurse.
00:44:16How do you feel?
00:44:18Fine.
00:44:20Nothing ever changes with me.
00:44:22How about you?
00:44:24Okay.
00:44:30Where's Miss Frank?
00:44:32The nurse?
00:44:34Oh.
00:44:36Where's Miss Frank?
00:44:38The nurse? Oh, she's off my case.
00:44:40I have a new one.
00:44:42Oh.
00:44:46Rick.
00:44:49I understand.
00:44:51Do you?
00:44:55It's not a very romantic prospect
00:44:58being tied down to an invalid.
00:45:00Donna, no, you don't understand.
00:45:02Please.
00:45:04It's enough that you came.
00:45:07Listen to me, Donna.
00:45:09You may not believe what I'm going to tell you,
00:45:12but at midnight tonight, you're going to be all right.
00:45:15Any discomfort you feel will disappear.
00:45:18Your strength will return.
00:45:20Your health will be restored.
00:45:22At midnight?
00:45:24What makes you so sure?
00:45:26Just trust me.
00:45:28I know it's a hard thing to ask after what's happened, but...
00:45:32Trust me.
00:45:35I'll call you tomorrow.
00:45:55Ooh, it's getting rather late. I should be leaving.
00:45:58Thank you for dropping by, Francis.
00:46:00My dear, you're an extraordinary woman,
00:46:03but a woman nevertheless.
00:46:05It took a lot of arranging to get Mary in as her nurse.
00:46:09It was for a purpose, wasn't it?
00:46:11It was, my dear.
00:46:13However, don't you think this relationship has reached its end?
00:46:16No.
00:46:18You mean because Rick visited this girl today,
00:46:20you think you're losing your hold on him?
00:46:22If I lose my hold on him, how can you hope to keep yours?
00:46:26If he should leave the cult, he could be a threat to us.
00:46:31What is it you feel should be done?
00:46:36Get rid of the girl.
00:46:56Get rid of the girl.
00:47:27Let's not be hasty.
00:47:31We'll wait a few days and see what happens.
00:47:35As you say.
00:47:37Are you going home now?
00:47:39Not directly, no. I have to go back to the shop for a few minutes.
00:47:43Good night, my dear.
00:47:45Good night.
00:47:56Good night.
00:48:26Good night.
00:48:28Good night.
00:48:53It will only take a few minutes.
00:48:58It will only take a few minutes.
00:49:28It will only take a few minutes.
00:49:30It will only take a few minutes.
00:49:42It will only take a few minutes.
00:49:58It will only take a few minutes.
00:50:28It will only take a few minutes.
00:50:53It's amazing. The pain is gone.
00:50:56And apart from being a little weak from too much bed rest, I feel fine.
00:51:00How on earth did you...
00:51:04Okay, I won't ask any more questions.
00:51:08Rick.
00:51:10Will I see you again?
00:51:19Okay.
00:51:22I understand.
00:51:26Goodbye, Rick.
00:51:31Well, how do you feel today?
00:51:34Fine.
00:51:35That's good.
00:51:37I brought you some coffee. If you need anything else, just ring the bell.
00:51:56Hello?
00:51:58Yes, Mary.
00:52:21I'm in trouble.
00:52:24I mean, prepare some drinks for us. I'm expecting Mr. Turner.
00:52:37Hello, darling.
00:52:40I got your message. It sounded urgent.
00:52:42Frank is calling a meeting at 10.30 tonight.
00:52:44Well, what's up?
00:52:46We don't question Frank. We just obey.
00:52:53Aren't you going to kiss me?
00:52:55You witch. You beautiful, evil witch.
00:53:06I'm never going to let you go. Remember that.
00:53:09I never want to go.
00:53:11You remember that.
00:53:24What's going on?
00:53:31Do you love me?
00:53:33You know I do.
00:53:36It's odd, isn't it?
00:53:38How sometimes the things we do so innocently can be misinterpreted.
00:53:46Like what?
00:53:48For instance, someone might completely misunderstand
00:53:53your close contact with Miss Trent lately.
00:53:59So that's it.
00:54:01It's true, isn't it?
00:54:03You've been to see her. You've spoken with her on the phone.
00:54:06Listen to me.
00:54:08Maybe once I thought I was in love with Donna, but that's over with.
00:54:13What do you think?
00:54:15I think I'd like to be sure.
00:54:18How much proof do you need?
00:54:28Every waking minute, you're on my mind.
00:54:31Even when I sleep, I can't shake you.
00:54:34I can't shake you.
00:54:36I can't shake you.
00:54:38But you're on my mind.
00:54:40Even when I sleep, I can't shake you.
00:54:43You're all around me.
00:54:45In the air, in the rain and in the sunlight.
00:54:49You're as much me as I am.
00:54:53Tell me.
00:54:55Tell me.
00:54:57Tell me.
00:55:00I know what you are.
00:55:02I know what you've made me, but it doesn't matter.
00:55:05Nothing does.
00:55:08Nothing.
00:55:14I can't kiss you without wanting more.
00:55:17I'll never have enough of you.
00:55:20If I thought I'd lose you, I'd...
00:55:22You'd what?
00:55:24I'd kill you.
00:55:38Come on.
00:55:50We shall begin.
00:55:51The great gambler has been offended.
00:55:54He demands retribution.
00:55:58There is a traitor among us.
00:56:00Someone in this room does not belong.
00:56:03The devil god has been betrayed.
00:56:06Peter, hear me well. You have been discovered, Gamber knows which one you are.
00:56:12At midnight tonight, you shall die.
00:56:18Gamber will be avenged.
00:56:23We shall meet again here at 12.30. One of you will not be among us.
00:56:3612.30
00:56:58Can't you have Amed shut that music off?
00:57:01Darling, it's so good.
00:57:0612.30
00:57:3612.30
00:58:06Oh, great Gamber, justice has been done. Your unworthy servant has been eliminated.
00:58:18Let Gamber's betrayer serve as an example for the rest of you.
00:58:22The traitor Lindell did not believe he was here to expose us.
00:58:28He was going to publicize us and maliciously attack the great devil god.
00:58:33The danger is past.
00:58:35The intruder has been removed from our midst.
00:58:45One moment please. You will stay.
00:59:05Come here. The light is better and there is something I want you to see.
00:59:13Believe me, Frank. Francis, I had no idea.
00:59:18How long have you been with us now?
00:59:21Over a year.
00:59:23Over a year. When you can still be so foolish, so dangerously careless.
00:59:29But he lied to me too. I didn't know he was a newspaper man.
00:59:31Here are some of the notes he was making. Not very flattering, are they?
00:59:38If I would have known, I wouldn't have sponsored him. I swear it.
00:59:44Would you be good enough to get your doll from the shelf?
00:59:54No, you can't.
01:00:02Hello, doll shop. Yes, she is.
01:00:06Just a moment. Bianca, it's Mary calling from the hospital.
01:00:13Hello, Mary. Thank you for calling. I don't think I'll be needing you any longer at the hospital.
01:00:20How did you hear about it? She was only discharged a few minutes ago.
01:00:24Discharged? But that's impossible.
01:00:26I see.
01:00:28Just a minute.
01:00:31Goodbye, Mary. Goodbye, miss.
01:00:34Rick.
01:00:36How nice of you to come for me.
01:00:38Don't be nice to me, Donny. You're just making things more difficult.
01:00:44She just left. Mr. Turner picked her up.
01:00:48Thank you, Mary.
01:00:50It seems your first suspicions were correct.
01:00:54There's no doubt now, but it was Rick who was in here the other evening.
01:00:58I shall have to use greater discretion in passing out keys.
01:01:02What do you intend doing with the doll?
01:01:05I'm going to have to find out.
01:01:07I'm going to have to find out.
01:01:09I'm going to have to find out.
01:01:11I'm going to have to find out.
01:01:13I'm going to have to find out.
01:01:15I'm going to have to find out.
01:01:16Keys to the keys.
01:01:18What do you intend doing with it?
01:01:21If you don't mind, I have my own plans for it.
01:01:24As you wish.
01:01:32Then this… This gesture is just for old time's sake?
01:01:36Something like that.
01:01:38Pretty fancy car.
01:01:41Belongs to a friend of mine.
01:01:46I know I owe you some sort of explanation, but there's very little I can say.
01:02:04Donna, I want you to leave.
01:02:05Leave this town.
01:02:06Move away.
01:02:07Far away.
01:02:08From me.
01:02:09But why?
01:02:10I can't give you any explanations that would make any sense.
01:02:15Don't believe me.
01:02:16For your own sake and for mine, Donna, I'm asking you to leave.
01:02:26All right.
01:02:40Donna.
01:02:45Donna.
01:02:53Donna.
01:02:57Donna.
01:03:04Donna.
01:03:06Donna.
01:03:13Donna.
01:03:17Can you hear me, Donna?
01:03:20Yes.
01:03:23Who are you?
01:03:25It's not easy to reach you.
01:03:28But I'm beginning to.
01:03:33Donna.
01:03:36Donna.
01:03:56Where have you been?
01:03:57I've been calling you all evening.
01:03:58I'm sorry.
01:03:59Some things to attend to.
01:04:00You might have at least let me know.
01:04:05Don't be angry, darling.
01:04:07I said I'm sorry.
01:04:35Oh, worshippers of the great devil God Gamba, another full moon is above us.
01:04:52It is a time to pass judgment.
01:04:55A time to offer sacrifice.
01:04:59A time to test the unworthy.
01:05:03One among you must be called upon to prove his loyalty.
01:05:08To erase all doubt.
01:05:15Bring in the subject.
01:05:33Donna.
01:05:35Donna.
01:05:37Donna.
01:05:39Donna.
01:05:41Donna.
01:05:43Donna.
01:05:45Donna.
01:05:47Donna.
01:05:49Donna.
01:05:51Donna.
01:05:53Donna.
01:05:55Donna.
01:05:57Donna.
01:05:59Donna.
01:06:02This young girl is to be the sacrifice.
01:06:05You stare at her without recognition.
01:06:08But there is one here who knows her.
01:06:12She was a part of his past.
01:06:15A past he should have deserted when he declared himself to Gamba.
01:06:24I did, I swear it.
01:06:26Why then did you enter these premises one night under the veil of darkness?
01:06:30Why then did you remove the pin from the doll, thereby administering the cure?
01:06:34I have not been disloyal.
01:06:37Bianca, tell him.
01:06:40You've got to believe me.
01:06:43Oh, great Gamba, he asks for your trust.
01:06:47This unworthy servant begs to be believed.
01:06:51It is for you to say.
01:06:54It is for you to say.
01:07:02Step forward.
01:07:08Prove yourself.
01:07:10It shall be your hand that turns the wheel.
01:07:14My hand?
01:07:16Then I am to blame if the soldier...
01:07:18Blame? This is not a question of blame.
01:07:21This is a question of loyalty.
01:07:24Spin the wheel.
01:07:26But why her?
01:07:28Test me if you must.
01:07:30That is precisely what we are doing.
01:07:32Have you forgotten your oath of allegiance?
01:07:35You swore to follow the commands without question.
01:07:38Though it meant someone's destruction, perhaps even your own.
01:07:41Spin the wheel.
01:07:44Spin the wheel.
01:08:14Spin the wheel.
01:08:44She knows. Look at her eyes.
01:08:47It's all her doing.
01:08:50I warned you of the danger, but you wouldn't listen.
01:08:53You speak of a choice.
01:08:55There's no choice here. That knife is set to kill.
01:08:58Murderers. All of you.
01:09:01Gamba! Gamba! Gamba!
01:09:08Traitor!
01:09:10Traitor!
01:09:27Look out, Frank!
01:09:40Look out, Frank!
01:09:42Look out!
01:10:09Are you all right?
01:10:12What was I doing in there?
01:10:14Never mind. The important thing is that you're safe and free of it.
01:10:18Are you free of it, too?
01:10:24Yes, darling, we both are.
01:10:42That's what he thinks.
