00:02:11Why hesitate?
00:02:31Satania.
00:02:33Suicide.
00:02:35It says here.
00:02:37Third attempt.
00:02:39Determined, weren't you?
00:02:42Love?
00:02:45Love is such a stupid emotion.
00:02:49I hate to see such a pretty girl go down there.
00:02:53At least not yet.
00:02:55I'd like to help you.
00:02:58I have an idea.
00:03:00You could be my messenger.
00:03:03Messenger?
00:03:05Yes.
00:03:06We have rules here, too.
00:03:08You see, suicide is a special case.
00:03:11And I'm sure that you'll be looked upon more favorably if you take this job.
00:03:16Do I have a choice?
00:03:18Of course, the choice is entirely yours.
00:03:20You'd have to go back.
00:03:22Up there.
00:03:23No.
00:03:24I won't go back.
00:03:26Do you realize what is down there?
00:03:29Go look.
00:03:30See for yourself.
00:03:33No!
00:03:37I thought you'd change your mind.
00:03:40Now, all you have to do is deliver something for me.
00:03:44If you succeed, we'll take your case before a special tribunal.
00:03:48You see, your crime is different.
00:03:50You only sin against yourself.
00:03:53Then what am I doing here?
00:03:55I've hurt no one.
00:03:57That will be entirely up to the tribunal.
00:04:02Actually, what you'll be doing is delivering to your society up there a passport, a ticket.
00:04:12One way, of course, for them to join our society down here.
00:04:17We tried very hard to make it easy for them to join us.
00:04:21It's like a big country club.
00:04:25Sometimes our gifts are unusual.
00:04:28Sometimes our gifts are unusual.
00:04:31As you can see, this is a camera.
00:04:34Looks like an ordinary camera.
00:04:37That's where you're wrong, my dear.
00:04:39You will find that nothing is ordinary from down here.
00:04:44You'll deliver this to Mr. Donald Powell.
00:04:47What has he done to make him a candidate for this place?
00:04:51It isn't what he has done, my dear.
00:04:53It's what he's about to do.
00:04:56Goodbye, Mr. Powell.
00:04:58There's the address.
00:05:00We'll finish the transportation.
00:05:03You deliver the gift.
00:05:27That's it! Good girl!
00:05:33This is the 28th photo you took.
00:05:35Oh? I didn't count. Besides, you're being paid by the hour.
00:05:38This isn't included in the fee.
00:05:40Don't be coy with me.
00:05:42You have a wife.
00:05:43Not since last week. Besides, why should a guy get cooped up just because he paid two bucks for a marriage license?
00:05:49Did it hurt?
00:05:52I should have warned you about Loverboy.
00:05:55I'm being paid to work.
00:05:58I'm not going to work anymore today.
00:06:01It's up to you, Don, to work or not.
00:06:04But I'm getting paid.
00:06:06Aren't I, Charlie?
00:06:08Sure. Now get out of here.
00:06:11Coming?
00:06:13Come on, get out.
00:06:15Don, you need a rest.
00:06:17You're overworked.
00:06:18I feel fine, Charlie.
00:06:19Why don't you go away for a few days?
00:06:21But don't take a girl with you.
00:06:23Everybody running my life?
00:06:28Well, you need somebody to run your life.
00:06:31Charlie, you make enough money off of me,
00:06:34I'll make enough money off of you.
00:06:37I'll make enough money off of you.
00:06:40I'll make enough money off of you.
00:06:43You make enough money off of me, what do you want me to do?
00:06:47Go up to Maine, to New England.
00:06:50But only with your camera.
00:06:52Take photographs. Rest.
00:06:55Change the surroundings.
00:06:57Find yourself again.
00:06:59Am I lost, Charlie?
00:07:01If you don't take a rest, I'm afraid you're going to be in trouble.
00:07:04With whom? Women?
00:07:06They're fine trouble.
00:07:08With yourself.
00:07:09You're working yourself up into a full-size nervous breakdown.
00:07:13Oh, Rot.
00:07:15Oh, get away and come back rested.
00:07:19Serene, clear-eyed.
00:07:40Hey.
00:07:42Let me take your photograph, will you?
00:07:48Stand right next to the horse.
00:07:51And here like this.
00:07:53That's right.
00:08:09That's right.
00:08:39Hello.
00:08:49I'd like to talk to you.
00:08:54Why don't you let me take your picture?
00:08:57Look, I'm a professional photographer.
00:09:00You've got features I've never seen on another woman.
00:09:02I haven't offended you, have I?
00:09:04All I want is a photograph.
00:09:09Don't be afraid of me.
00:09:35No!
00:09:37No!
00:09:39No!
00:10:34I'll get it.
00:10:59Don.
00:11:00Yeah, I'm here.
00:11:04I'll be right out.
00:11:17Why didn't you call me when you got back?
00:11:27Coming.
00:11:28Nice work.
00:11:35This is art, not photography.
00:11:47All I do is press the button.
00:11:54You're using the camera like an artist of brush.
00:11:57Look at this old man and the horse.
00:12:01Two old pals having worked together all their lives, now grown old together.
00:12:07What's the matter with you, Don?
00:12:10You never used to drink before six.
00:12:13Don't tell me what I should do and what I shouldn't do.
00:12:19I thought you'd come back rested, less nervous.
00:12:37What's bothering you, Don?
00:12:38You and everybody else.
00:12:39Look, Charlie, if you're going to take my words, you only take ten percent, huh?
00:12:45I'll be a good boy and go off and leave me.
00:12:47I'm tired.
00:12:48At three in the afternoon?
00:12:50Yeah, do I have to stick to conventions about being tired?
00:12:54I don't want to bother you, Don.
00:12:56I only came by to tell you that World Magazine wants to do a spread about you, 16 pages.
00:13:01The work of the most famous photographer of our time, Don Powell.
00:13:05What are you doing, Charlie?
00:13:07In your absence, I even picked out the pictures.
00:13:09I got the Wagner galleries for the exhibition.
00:13:11What's the matter, Charlie?
00:13:12Don't you make enough money off of me?
00:13:14But, Don...
00:13:15You tell me to rest, then let me rest.
00:13:16But, Don...
00:13:17Look, I don't want all this publicity.
00:13:19I don't want to be plastered on gallery walls.
00:13:20I don't want to be published in millions of magazines.
00:13:25You're still sick.
00:13:26Okay, I'm sick!
00:13:27Now go!
00:13:28I hope you'll feel better tomorrow.
00:13:29If you do, come around to the Wagner galleries.
00:13:43Gerard of the World wants to meet you.
00:13:44He's going to pick out the pictures for the magazine.
00:14:14Don, Mr. Gerard of the World Magazine, Don Powell.
00:14:31How do you do?
00:14:32Mr. Powell, congratulations.
00:14:34Your work is fabulous.
00:14:35Well, you take a few hundred thousand photographs, a few are bound to turn out.
00:14:38I could take a million, and I'd never have your quality.
00:14:42The lights fusing on the shadows, the symbolism.
00:14:47We've chosen 24 for the world.
00:14:49We'll also give you a color spread, though your fort is black and white.
00:14:55This is my favorite.
00:14:59Beautiful composition.
00:15:01You can almost touch the snow.
00:15:04And still it has something unreal about it.
00:15:07How'd that picture get here?
00:15:08It's not so bad, Don.
00:15:09How did it get here?
00:15:11The best of the collection, I'd say.
00:15:13It shows the eyes of a master who can pick the right object at the exact right light.
00:15:17I shouldn't be here.
00:15:18Please, Don.
00:15:19He's never satisfied with his work, is he?
00:15:21Did you hang that picture here, Charlie?
00:15:22I found it in the darkroom.
00:15:23I thought you forgot to give it to me.
00:15:26It'll make the cover of the magazine.
00:15:27What's the matter, Mr. Powell?
00:15:28I don't like this print.
00:15:29It looks perfect.
00:15:30No, no.
00:15:31I'll see if you get another one.
00:15:32This is just a proof.
00:15:33Oh, no.
00:15:34You leave that with me.
00:15:35No.
00:16:05Who is it?
00:16:26It's me.
00:16:32What do you want?
00:16:33A drink.
00:16:34I didn't call you.
00:16:45I know.
00:16:46I thought you might be lonely.
00:16:48Or you must have a girl up here.
00:16:52Anyhow, I wanted to make sure which is which and what's what.
00:16:57Aren't you glad I came?
00:17:00I was at the exhibition.
00:17:01It was terrific.
00:17:02But you know what I like best?
00:17:03The pictures you took of me.
00:17:04But you didn't exhibit the right ones.
00:17:05Where are they?
00:17:06No.
00:17:07Why not?
00:17:08You took pictures of me much better ones
00:17:09than you showed at the gallery.
00:17:10I have a good figure.
00:17:11You said so yourself.
00:17:12Where are they?
00:17:13No, Dixie.
00:17:14Please.
00:17:15Why?
00:17:16Why are you suddenly so shy?
00:17:17Those are my pictures, too.
00:17:18Now give them to me.
00:17:19No.
00:17:20Sometimes you forget.
00:17:22It really scares me.
00:17:23I didn't mean to.
00:17:24I'd better go.
00:17:25Dixie.
00:17:26Please stay.
00:17:27Dixie.
00:17:28Dixie.
00:17:29Dixie.
00:17:30Dixie.
00:17:31Dixie.
00:17:32Dixie.
00:17:33Dixie.
00:17:35Please don't leave me alone.
00:17:36Dixie.
00:17:37Dixie.
00:17:38Dixie.
00:17:39Dixie.
00:17:40Dixie.
00:17:41Dixie.
00:17:42You certainly have changed.
00:17:49How?
00:17:51In what way?
00:17:57A great deal.
00:18:06It's impossible.
00:18:10Ow!
00:18:11How? In what way?
00:18:13I don't know.
00:18:15But isn't you anymore?
00:18:17When? Who is it?
00:18:19Since you came back from your vacation.
00:18:21Something must have happened to you, Don.
00:18:23What is it?
00:18:24No, nothing.
00:18:26Have you met another girl?
00:18:28Why? Why do you say that?
00:18:30I... I never saw you so...
00:18:32How? Say it, how?
00:18:34You look... frightened.
00:18:37What's frightening you, Don?
00:18:39Nothing. What a silly question.
00:18:42Don't touch me.
00:18:45Why? Why not?
00:18:49Now.
00:19:09Charlie?
00:19:30Yeah.
00:19:32Okay, so I walked out on the exhibition
00:19:34and Gerard's unhappy. I couldn't care less.
00:19:36No, he's not getting the photo.
00:19:38That's what I want to talk to you about.
00:19:40Charlie, where can I meet you?
00:19:43Anywhere you say. Anywhere but here.
00:19:45No, I'm...
00:19:47No, I'm alone.
00:19:48Charlie, shut up and listen to me.
00:19:50Charlie, I'll meet you...
00:19:53at the 59 bar.
00:19:56Okay, and I want you there, Charlie.
00:19:58You got it? The 59 bar.
00:20:08Charlie.
00:20:35I made it as fast as I could.
00:20:37Charlie, I want to ask you something.
00:20:39Yes?
00:20:40Oh, the same. Stay here, sir.
00:20:43What is it?
00:20:45Charlie...
00:20:47do you think I'm insane?
00:20:49No, of course not.
00:20:50How long have you known me?
00:20:52Fifteen years.
00:20:53Have I changed lately?
00:20:54Oh, you're more nervous, but everybody...
00:20:56Charlie, give me a direct answer, yes or no.
00:20:59Well, since you asked me...
00:21:01yes, you have changed.
00:21:03That's what Dixie said.
00:21:05She left me just now.
00:21:07Yes, she phoned me.
00:21:08She did, huh?
00:21:10Charlie...
00:21:12Charlie, it's incredible.
00:21:13It can't be.
00:21:15What?
00:21:18Can a photograph be alive?
00:21:20What do you mean, alive?
00:21:22Look, I took a picture of that old farmhouse.
00:21:24There's nobody in the picture.
00:21:26You saw it. Was there anybody in it?
00:21:27No, there wasn't.
00:21:28It was just a photo of the old farmhouse...
00:21:30with a cat leading down.
00:21:32Somebody has come out of that house...
00:21:34and they're coming toward me...
00:21:35closer and closer.
00:21:37What am I going to do?
00:21:40Huh?
00:21:41Well, I think you'd better talk to somebody...
00:21:43who can give you an answer.
00:21:44I'm not the right guy, Doc.
00:21:46I won't do that. I know what I'm seeing, Fanny.
00:21:57Look, this whole thing is nothing but a hallucination.
00:22:00No.
00:22:01Look, I'll go with you to the studio...
00:22:02and prove to you that you're only seeing things.
00:22:04Why not?
00:22:05This would prove to you...
00:22:06that you're only imagining the thing.
00:22:08Look, if I can't see her, you'll believe me.
00:22:10I know you will.
00:22:12Don, be reasonable.
00:22:13Let me come with you.
00:22:14No.
00:22:17Sorry, I'm going with you.
00:22:18No, you're not.
00:22:19Don!

00:23:48Don!
00:24:02His heart has stopped.
00:24:18The beautiful devil's messenger.
00:24:32Tell me exactly what happened.
00:24:33Mr. Powell's imagination got the better of him.
00:24:36I believe you called a heart attack.
00:24:38He'll be here shortly.
00:24:39It's a terrible thing, the way you go around ruining people's lives.
00:24:44Oh, but my dear, I thought you knew.
00:24:47People ruin their own lives.
00:24:49All we do is help them a bit.
00:24:52I've delivered your gift of murder.
00:24:54Now, when do I stand before the tribunal?
00:24:56Well, you have another gift to deliver.
00:24:58Remember, I said we had rules.
00:25:01You mean I have to go back again up there?
00:25:05Oh, no.
00:25:07I took my life because I couldn't stand it up there anymore.
00:25:10Besides, my sin is no greater than theirs.
00:25:13Why should I be bailed out like this?
00:25:16Yes, I accepted your offer.
00:25:19I was afraid of what might be down there.
00:25:21But now I prefer that to helping you with your dirty work.
00:25:25Well, I was only trying to do you a favor, my dear.
00:25:36Mr. Towns, deliver this pick to a man in Torsholm Suite.
00:25:42What he finds with this pick will lead to all sorts of complications.
00:25:46And we'll have a new recruit.
00:26:07Hey, Knote.
00:26:09Look.
00:26:12Ice.
00:26:13Looks like we hit the glacier.
00:26:15That's the end of the shaft.
00:26:17We can't blast it out.
00:26:19It might reach miles into the mountain.
00:26:21Shall we abandon the tunnel?
00:26:23I don't see what else we can do.
00:26:25I'd better phone the office.
00:26:31Hey, Knote.
00:26:36What is it?
00:26:37There.
00:26:39There's something there.
00:26:42Let's blast it out.
00:26:44No, I'd better phone the scientists.
00:26:47Let them have a look at it.
00:26:49You know what it looks like?
00:26:51Don't say it.
00:26:52I think I'm seeing the same thing.
00:27:12Oh, careful.
00:27:14Tell the man to go slow.
00:27:16But the eyes must be broken.
00:27:18Already writing the report?
00:27:21Yes, we'll need it for the Anthropological Congress in September.
00:27:25Just in case we lose the object.
00:27:27But how can we lose it?
00:27:42All right, carry on.
00:27:54A human being 50,000 years old.
00:27:57I want to get the block of ice transported to the museum intact.
00:28:12It wasn't separate from the transport.
00:28:14We'll know in a minute.
00:28:19Can you see anything?
00:28:22Yes.
00:28:24Let me have a look.
00:28:27Remarkable.
00:28:29I have to see it.
00:28:31The girl in the photo is not the same.
00:28:34What is the difference?
00:28:36The girl is the one that was taken from me.
00:28:39I'm not the one who took it.
00:28:41I'm the one who took it.
00:28:43Then you were the one who took it.
00:28:45I'm not the one who took it.
00:28:47You were the one who took it.
00:28:49I'm not the one who took it.
00:28:50You're the one who took it.
00:28:52The place I have to see is the ground in ice.
00:28:59To think that she died thousands of years ago.
00:29:03She looks old.
00:29:05How beautiful she is.
00:29:08How do we get her out? Melt the ice?
00:29:10I would suggest she should leave her out.
00:29:13Then the cold would preserve her.
00:29:15Ben, what is it?
00:29:17We must not take a risk and harm her.
00:29:20Of course not.
00:29:22I will take care of her.
00:29:25The temperature is below 20 degrees.
00:29:29I will be in charge.
00:29:31Why you?
00:29:33I am the anthropologist.
00:29:35Do you know that my research concerns any kind of historical man?
00:29:40As the anthropologist of this museum, she belongs to my department.
00:29:44I do not want to be cheated out of important research like this.
00:29:48Cheated? Gentlemen, let me decide who will be in charge.
00:29:50My training, my experience.
00:29:53It's my duty to science.
00:29:56No, Sven, Dr. Olsen is right.
00:29:58She belongs to the science of anthropology.
00:30:01He is an expert on the subject.
00:30:03I think we should have a surgeon brought in to dissect her.
00:30:06Dissect her?
00:30:08I don't understand your attitude.
00:30:10How do you plan to go about getting her out, Dr. Olsen?
00:30:13I think I will increase the temperature in this room.
00:30:16The ice will slowly melt and become transparent.
00:30:18And then we can study her better.
00:30:21But everybody will see her in her nakedness.
00:30:24Why not?
00:30:26Why shouldn't we see her in her nakedness?
00:30:49When were you born?
00:30:53How many millenniums before my time?
00:30:58What was your name?
00:31:01Your name.
00:31:03Was it Cordelia?
00:31:06Angelica.
00:31:09Are you an angel to return to this earth?
00:31:13Yes.
00:31:14Are you an angel to return to this earth?
00:31:20Two people are destined for each other.
00:31:23You and I.
00:31:25You had to return to come to me, Angelica.
00:31:29I knew when I first saw you that we were chosen for each other.
00:31:33Only time stood between us.
00:31:37What is time but the conception of man?
00:31:41I have to get you out of your prison to hold you in my arms.
00:31:46I love you, Angelica.
00:31:53Seastrom!
00:31:57What are you doing here?
00:31:59The same as you.
00:32:01Didn't Dr. Ho make it clear to you that this is my research, not yours?
00:32:05I know that you want to cheat me out of the fruits of my life and on work.
00:32:08Learn to like me.
00:32:10I have the same right to be here as you, Wolfson.
00:32:13I understand your feeling.
00:32:15Your scientific curiosity.
00:32:19All right.
00:32:21I'll forget that we met here.
00:32:23If you promise not to come here again.
00:32:25She is mine.
00:32:28Of course.
00:32:30Of course.
00:32:32Now, now, let this go out together.
00:32:34Leave the lady alone.
00:32:36What do you have in mind?
00:32:38What do I have to do to her?
00:32:40You make her suffer.
00:32:42You talk as if she were alive.
00:32:44Don't you see?
00:32:46No, of course you don't see.
00:32:48She is alive.
00:32:50That's not possible.
00:32:52By gradually lowering the temperature,
00:32:55a body can slowly be frozen without terminating life.
00:32:59How long can the body stay in a suspended state?
00:33:02One year, a century, a millennium?
00:33:04Who says it cannot?
00:33:05I know she's alive.
00:33:08What?
00:33:10She looks alive.
00:33:12Is that the way you know?
00:33:19I know what you have in mind.
00:33:21You want to get me out of here.
00:33:23You want to make it impossible for me to see her.
00:33:26That's not true.
00:33:28Then prove it.
00:33:30Turn this research as you call it over to me.
00:33:32She's more to me than she is to you.
00:33:33She's not an object of vivisection.
00:33:36That's enough.
00:33:38Now let's get out of here.
00:34:03♪
00:34:32Dr. Olsen did not show up this morning.
00:34:35I phoned his home, but he didn't sleep there last night.
00:34:40What about the girl in the ice?
00:34:43That's why I called you.
00:34:46We must keep the find a secret
00:34:48until the day when we have gathered enough scientific information about this body.
00:34:52Otherwise, I'm afraid we'll be overrun with reporters and zealous anthropologists.
00:34:57I agree with you, Dr. Holt.
00:34:59I agree with you wholeheartedly.
00:35:01Dr. Seastrom, I want you to find out
00:35:04how we can free her from her icy surroundings
00:35:07without damage to her body.
00:35:09Yes, sir.
00:35:12Then...
00:35:14I will be in charge.
00:35:16Yes.
00:35:18But under one condition.
00:35:24Yes?
00:35:26Since I will be responsible,
00:35:28I also need the authority that goes with a job like this.
00:35:32Oh, I understand.
00:35:34I want everybody checking with me first.
00:35:37No one is allowed entrance to the room without
00:35:40first having it cleared through me.
00:35:42That sounds reasonable.
00:35:44No one.
00:35:46Not even you.
00:35:48Why are you restricting me, too?
00:35:51Only for a short time.
00:35:53It would give me peace of mind.
00:35:56All right.
00:35:58Let's go.
00:36:21And that was the last time you saw Dr. Olsen?
00:36:24Yes, I'm sure of it.
00:36:25You said you couldn't detect anything extraordinary
00:36:28in his behavior, no sign that he was upset.
00:36:31No, I didn't. Did you, Dr. Lund?
00:36:33Well, we were all somewhat excited, I would say,
00:36:36and we still are.
00:36:38This has nothing to do with Olsen's disappearance,
00:36:40I assure you.
00:36:42Please, let me be the judge of that.
00:36:44We brought in an anthropolithic object.
00:36:46I put Olsen in charge of it.
00:36:48That excited him, I assume.
00:36:50Now, where is that object?
00:36:52In the ice house.
00:36:53Well, then Dr. Olsen might be there.
00:36:55No, Dr. Seastrom, who's working there,
00:36:57did not see him.
00:36:59Dr. Seastrom?
00:37:01Who is he?
00:37:03I put him in charge of the anthropolithic object
00:37:05after Olsen's disappearance.
00:37:07Now we're getting closer.
00:37:12It is pretty, isn't it?
00:37:14I want you to wear it.
00:37:19Here are the shoes.
00:37:24I know they'll fit you.
00:37:30Only a few feet of ice are separating us, Angelica.
00:37:35A few inches of frozen water.
00:37:39But you can see me.
00:37:41Can you hear me talk?
00:37:49I knew you were alive.
00:37:50I knew it.
00:37:56You want to talk to me?
00:37:59You want me to hold you in my arms?
00:38:04I'm going to get you out.
00:38:12Now, soon you will be free.
00:38:14Soon you will be free.
00:38:18How many thousands of years
00:38:20were you waiting for this day, Angelica?
00:38:24And yet you would have waited
00:38:26another 10,000 years for me, wouldn't you?
00:38:30I might have lived in your time,
00:38:33might have died young,
00:38:35before our love was fulfilled.
00:38:39If I had only the memory of this time,
00:38:41I would have known that I
00:38:43vowed to meet you again on this earth.
00:38:47When I first saw you, I recognized you instantly.
00:38:50Your name came back to me.
00:38:53I remembered your tender embraces,
00:38:56your soft lips.
00:39:00And now you've come back to me.
00:39:11You've come back to me.
00:39:31You're going to drown.
00:39:41You're going to drown.
00:40:11You're going to drown.
00:40:41You're going to drown.
00:41:11You're going to drown.
00:41:13You're going to drown.
00:41:16You're going to drown.
00:41:18You're going to drown.
00:41:20You're going to drown.
00:41:22You're going to drown.
00:41:24You're going to drown.
00:41:26You're going to drown.
00:41:28You're going to drown.
00:41:30You're going to drown.
00:41:32You're going to drown.
00:41:34You're going to drown.
00:41:36You're going to drown.
00:41:38You're going to drown.
00:41:39I'll never go through that again.
00:41:42I can't believe the things I've seen.
00:41:45Taking my life is nothing compared to the sins your little gifts led to.
00:41:49Now, now, my dear.
00:41:51Let's change the subject.
00:41:53While you were away, I was thinking.
00:41:56I think I came up with a diabolical idea.
00:42:00Is there any other kind of idea in a place like this?
00:42:05Hey, that's a fun.
00:42:06Well, I'm not much for fun, but that's a good one.
00:42:11You know, my plan may be sort of a pun, too.
00:42:17Yeah, you suffered all your life for love.
00:42:20You slept it out for love.
00:42:23You were hurt and angry.
00:42:26Why do you go through it again?
00:42:28I know what I did and I know why.
00:42:30Well, how would you like to get even?
00:42:32How would you like to wrap up all your frustrations in one little bit?
00:42:36I don't know.
00:42:42I thought that would tickle your curious bones.
00:42:58Some people say they can see things in a crystal ball.
00:43:03Others say they can foretell the future.
00:43:07Others say they can reconstruct the past.
00:43:12But they can only see what we down here let them see.
00:43:18Because the crystal ball is the toy of the devil.
00:43:23Satanya, you deliver this crystal ball to a Madame Germaine
00:43:29in the Limehouse district of London.
00:43:33I realize there's no sense in projecting.
00:43:36So far, I don't see your diabolical plan.
00:43:41Well, my plan is to reward you for your effort.
00:43:44Reward?
00:43:46I don't know.
00:43:47Well, let me explain.
00:43:49You love this John Radian very much.
00:43:51John?
00:43:53Why do you bring him into this?
00:43:55Isn't that exactly what you want to do?
00:43:57Bring him into this?
00:44:00Yes.
00:44:02Then you could accomplish something.
00:44:06At times, I...
00:44:08At times, I wanted to kill him.
00:44:11But I couldn't.
00:44:13I couldn't.
00:44:14I wanted to kill him.
00:44:17But you know, you're right.
00:44:19I want to accomplish something.
00:44:22I could get even with him.
00:44:24I could get even for all the suffering, for all the humiliation.
00:44:30I could teach him a lesson.
00:44:32I could teach him one final lesson.
00:44:36I thought you'd like my little plan.
00:44:38Now, you just deliver this,
00:44:40and I can assure you that your John Radian will join us
00:44:44very soon.
00:45:14Hi.
00:45:17Johnny!
00:45:19Johnny!
00:45:21Come on!
00:45:23Johnny!
00:45:24Johnny!
00:45:55I'm sorry.
00:45:58I didn't mean to...
00:46:01And what happens next?
00:46:03Nothing.
00:46:05It just stops.
00:46:07I've never found out what's in that room.
00:46:10It keeps pulling me, but I've never been able to make myself go inside.
00:46:20How often have you had this dream?
00:46:22Oh...
00:46:24Six, maybe seven times.
00:46:26This is quite common, John.
00:46:28You have a fear of the future.
00:46:30Doesn't everybody?
00:46:33At the same time,
00:46:35you want to know what you're going to do.
00:46:37So you have this dream in order to
00:46:40give yourself an opportunity to find out.
00:46:43You get closer and closer,
00:46:45until you're too close.
00:46:47And at the last minute, you're afraid to face it.
00:46:49Tell me.
00:46:51Is that why I scream?
00:46:52It's just a device to bring you back to wakeful and safe reality.
00:46:56It would be awful to learn one's future.
00:46:59I'm certain I don't want to know any of it.
00:47:01A part of you does, or you wouldn't have the dream.
00:47:04You want it, yet you fear it.
00:47:06That fear is centered on a non-existent building
00:47:09and an imaginary street.
00:47:11But that's just the point.
00:47:13It isn't imaginary.
00:47:15I played there many times when I was a boy.
00:47:17Could you find it if you looked?
00:47:19Without a bit of trouble.
00:47:20Then do the thing that you're
00:47:22incapable of doing in your dream.
00:47:24Look at it for what it is.
00:47:26A harmless old building that
00:47:28probably frightened you as a child.
00:47:30Once you see that,
00:47:32I'm sure you'll be relieved
00:47:34of the anxieties that are plaguing you.
00:47:51Five.
00:47:55Johnny!
00:47:57Johnny!
00:47:59Come home!
00:48:01Johnny!
00:48:20Johnny!
00:48:50Johnny!
00:49:20Johnny!
00:49:51Come in, John Radian.
00:50:00I expected you sooner.
00:50:02How did you know my name?
00:50:12The crystal, of course.
00:50:15Shall we begin?
00:50:21Begin?
00:50:23Your future.
00:50:25Isn't that why you came?
00:50:27Yes.
00:50:29That's always the way with you impatient ones.
00:50:33I'm not impatient.
00:50:35It's just that I...
00:50:37I know.
00:50:39Why do people want to know about their future?
00:50:41To hear about pleasant surprises?
00:50:44Do they also accept the clouds of misfortune?
00:50:47The fears of disaster?
00:50:48Just tell me what you see.
00:50:50You'll get paid for it.
00:50:52Relax and come along with me.
00:50:55That's it.
00:50:57Much clearer.
00:51:00Much clearer.
00:51:02There.
00:51:04Yes.
00:51:06Yes, I see you.
00:51:09But you're still far away.
00:51:13You will be offered a trip.
00:51:14A trip?
00:51:16To Egypt.
00:51:19I assure you, I'm not going anywhere.
00:51:22I have neither the money nor the inclination.
00:51:26There you are.
00:51:29Looking.
00:51:31Looking desperately for somebody.
00:51:35You can't find him.
00:51:38It frightens you.
00:51:40It terrifies you.
00:51:41Looking for whom?
00:51:43I don't know.
00:51:45He isn't there.
00:51:47But somebody else.
00:51:50You're talking to him.
00:51:53He has a scar.
00:51:55A deep scar.
00:51:59And he will prompt you to fulfill your destiny.
00:52:04I don't understand a word of what you're saying.
00:52:07I don't understand a word of what you're saying.
00:52:11It is as I expected.
00:52:14Fine, then tell me, what do I expect?
00:52:18Your future.
00:52:22But you have no future.
00:52:26Well, what did you see?
00:52:29A clock.
00:52:31Striking midnight.
00:52:32I saw you very clearly.
00:52:37I saw you very dead.
00:52:41You lie.
00:52:43Yes.
00:52:45I lie.
00:52:47Often.
00:52:50But the crystal never lies.
00:52:54Tonight, at midnight, you will be dead.
00:52:58What is this?
00:53:00Are you threatening me?
00:53:07I have no grudge against you.
00:53:10I don't even know you.
00:53:12That's too bad.
00:53:14You know, I thought I might find out who or what it is I'm dealing with.
00:53:18Why do you want to know?
00:53:20Somewhere, somebody is waiting to kill me.
00:53:23Maybe the man with the scar.
00:53:25Maybe the man with the scar.
00:53:26Maybe the man with the scar.
00:53:28No.
00:53:30But somehow his presence is necessary to the chain of events.
00:53:34Then who is it?
00:53:36What would you do if you knew?
00:53:38There are many ways of dealing with a murderer.
00:53:40I could find his motives and reason with him.
00:53:49That would not change fate.
00:53:51Who is it?
00:53:53I am the one who will take your life.
00:53:57What do I owe you?
00:53:59Nothing.
00:54:08Just how do you intend to kill me?
00:54:11I have no idea.
00:54:14But is there a reason?
00:54:16I don't even know you.
00:54:20Well, this is a big town.
00:54:23Try to find me before midnight.
00:54:25Try to find me before midnight.
00:54:32Is there a telephone around?
00:54:35You just passed one.
00:54:37Oh, there's a girl in there.
00:54:39She's on a marathon talk.
00:54:43How long can a woman gab without saying anything?
00:54:46That's why I never married.
00:54:50Buy a ticket.
00:54:52Might be your night.
00:54:55Have a look.
00:54:57Might be a winner.
00:55:03A plane ticket to Egypt.
00:55:05Aren't you lucky?
00:55:07For days I thought I was only selling duds.
00:55:10Yes, get away.
00:55:13That's what she said.
00:55:15Egypt.
00:55:17Said who?
00:55:19That's what she said.
00:55:21Egypt.
00:55:43Doctor Holmes, please.
00:55:48I'm talking from a public telephone. Try to find it for me, would you please?
00:55:54I want him now! He's my doctor now, do you understand? Get him!
00:56:01Look, I'll leave my number. It's Hendon 3535. Call me, I'll be waiting.
00:56:10Hendon 3535, have you got that?
00:56:19Officer!
00:56:23Officer, I suppose this will sound a little foolish to you, but would you please arrest me?
00:56:32You've had a few, huh?
00:56:36No! Look, just overnight. Take me in for overnight, that's all I ask, please.
00:56:43Now you, you go home and sleep it off.
00:56:46No! She is going to kill me, she told me so!
00:56:56Well, I think that's very sporting of her to give you a fair warning.
00:57:00Officer, this is no time for jokes. Don't you realize I may be dead before morning?
00:57:05Listen, mister, we're all liable to be dead before the night's out. Now just get in there.
00:57:10Look, I know this sounds ridiculous to you, but I had this dream, see?
00:57:19And my doctor, my doctor, he said face it. He said nothing is as bad as it seems if we face it.
00:57:40You really had the advantage, didn't you? The moment I'm out of your sight, I'm a sitting duck.
00:57:55I hoped that you wouldn't come back, but you see, neither of us can escape it.
00:58:02Well, if I spend every moment with you, there's nothing you can do that I won't know about.
00:58:17If you don't sit down, you'll wear out the carpet. That wouldn't take very much.
00:58:25I walk in here and I find you in this room, sealed off from the world.
00:58:38There isn't a window in this room. What is this, a tomb?
00:58:43Enlightenment comes more easily in the dark.
00:58:53And what about you? You obviously believe that you're going to kill me.
00:58:58Don't you care enough about yourself to try to prevent it?
00:59:02If I had it in my power, I would. There is nothing I can do except...
00:59:09Except what?
00:59:11The kettle. I was preparing tea when you arrived.
00:59:26Hello? Operator? Get me Westlake 4-100. Yes, quickly please.
00:59:38Hello? Hello? Did you get Dr. Humes for me?
00:59:42Yes, this is John Radian. Well, connect me quickly, please.
00:59:49Oh, I'm glad you're home. I'm at 20 South Central Street.
00:59:55Yes. Yes, I followed your advice. I did. I met her. The fortune teller.
01:00:03I'm with her now. I'll be here till midnight. Sure she exists, just like in the dream.
01:00:12I want you to know, if anything happens to me, it was the fortune teller.
01:00:19Madam Jermaine. Jermaine. Got that? Yes. Yes. Goodbye.
01:00:50Join me in a cup of tea? I just made that telephone call.
01:00:55Now, not to the police. They're no good to me. To my doctor.
01:01:00You heard what I said? Sugar? Milk?
01:01:04Now, if anything happens to me, the police will know where I've been.
01:01:08There is nothing we can do to prevent your death.
01:01:14This tea, it smells funny. You think I'm trying to poison you?
01:01:21I don't know her. But you don't believe in the crystal.
01:01:25Of course I don't. Then drink your tea.
01:01:45Did it ever occur to you that you might die first?
01:01:49What do you suggest? Shall I kill myself?
01:01:53I swear your time is as short as mine.
01:02:02Let me by, Mr. Radian. Don't tempt me.
01:02:06Let me by. What are you doing?
01:02:09Let me by. What are you doing?
01:02:12Nothing. You've got a gun.
01:02:40You wind the clock straight in the room.
01:02:45If there were a catch, you'd put it out.
01:02:49How can you go on like this if you're convinced something's going to happen?
01:02:53We're all going to die.
01:02:57It's just that most of us don't know when.
01:03:01So we go on, day after day.
01:03:05Tell you what, I'm sorry for what I said before, all right?
01:03:09That's understandable, for one who has five minutes to live.
01:03:13Don't say that.
01:03:21I'm sorry.
01:03:25We both have reason to be.
01:03:29I'm sorry.
01:03:33We both have reason to be.
01:03:41You were saying, madam?
01:03:45We both have reason to be nervous.
01:03:49The prediction's on the other foot now, isn't it?
01:03:53I want you to leave here now.
01:03:57Why?
01:04:01Get away from me.
01:04:07You mustn't commit this crime.
01:04:31You mustn't commit this crime.
01:05:01It's a shame, but it was his own fault.
01:05:05That's not what he told me.
01:05:09It was a stupid thing to be wandering around in that building.
01:05:13He was looking for something, something he had lost.
01:05:17I guess that's why he didn't see the sign.
01:05:21Sign?
01:05:25Where's the other body?
01:05:29I don't know. When he called me, he told me that she was responsible.
01:05:33Who? The fortune teller, the one that lived here.
01:05:37Fortune teller? But in here?
01:05:41I told you this building's condemned. It's been empty for years.
01:05:59Ah, Natalia.
01:06:03You've done well.
01:06:07Now you can realize that coming into the unknown was not in vain.
01:06:11The lovers are reunited.
01:06:15Look, I don't know who you are or what this place is, but let's get one thing straight.
01:06:19I'm not in love with her, and I haven't in for a long time.
01:06:23And you can't blame me for what she did.
01:06:27You haven't changed. You'll never change. You're just as rotten as the day I left you.
01:06:31What have you got to do with all this? I thought we said our goodbyes a long time ago.
01:06:35You never give up, do you? You know, I told you again and again, you better see a doctor.
01:06:39You're sick. Stop it! I told you never to say that to me again.
01:06:43I don't have to stand here and listen to you.
01:06:47Wait. It's too late for that. We have no interest in your
01:06:51petty arguments down here.
01:06:55You were brought here for a purpose. Perhaps I should say
01:06:59a two-fold purpose. Hers and mine.
01:07:03Look, mister, I don't know why she brought me here or what you're talking about,
01:07:07but I'm not planning to stay very long, so you better get to the point before I walk out of here.
01:07:15Same old John. Only this is one conversation you can't walk out on.
01:07:19In fact, there's only one way out of here.
01:07:23Who's there? Now, hold on, my dear. You may be right
01:07:27in a way, but let me continue. Go ahead, but I don't have much time.
01:07:31That's where you're wrong, Mr. Redding.
01:07:35Why, the only thing you have left is time.
01:07:45What? This is...
01:07:49And those people are...
01:07:53You became aware quicker than most. But as I said,
01:07:57twofold. Satania's was for vengeance,
01:08:01which we condone. Ours for selfishness,
01:08:05which is part of our code. Please, please send him through there.
01:08:09He doesn't deserve an explanation. No, no.
01:08:13Our plan is only half completed. I need you both.
01:08:17But you said the tribunal would pass judgment. I fulfilled
01:08:21all my assignments. I don't understand why I should even be
01:08:25here. You wanted to be here. You bought your ticket one way,
01:08:29but because of your determination, we've shown compassion.
01:08:33We've selected both of you
01:08:37to help us annex Earth as part of our domain.
01:08:41Can't you get to the point? You never will want to understand the meaning of patience,
01:08:45will you, John? Now let him continue and we can get this thing over with.
01:08:49It's all very simple. I needed two lovebirds,
01:08:53then it turned into fighting cock. That's why we had to bring you down
01:08:57here. Look. Why all the games? Can't you just get on with it?
01:09:01What do you want us to do? He is impulsive, isn't he?
01:09:05That's why we chose him for the job.
01:09:09Well, here. I have a number
01:09:13that I want you both to deliver to her.
01:09:17You always told me before what I was delivering. What's in
01:09:21this envelope? It's our greatest achievement.
01:09:25It assures us of more territory.
01:09:29Space. We've been overcrowded here for years.
01:09:33That envelope
01:09:37contains a formula. A formula?
01:09:41What is it? What do we do with it?
01:09:45Deliver it to them.
01:09:49They'll know what to do with it.
01:09:53They'll play hell with it.
01:09:57That formula is a
01:10:01500 megaton bomb.
01:10:11It's a bomb.
01:10:15It's a bomb.
01:10:19It's a bomb.
01:10:23It's a bomb.
01:10:27It's a bomb.
01:10:31It's a bomb.
01:10:35It's a bomb.
01:10:39It's a bomb.
