00:12 This is an English pub.
00:15 Just the place for a little something to warm the cockles
00:19 of your heart while I chill your blood.
00:24 They give you a mulled clarity, a guarantee to fortify
00:28 you against--
00:30 well, against anything.
00:31 If the people's clothes seem strange, well, it's because
00:39 we're back in 1905.
00:42 But the dollar was still a dollar, and the British pound
00:45 was a beautiful gold coin.
00:49 We are going to see three forces of evil, three stories,
00:53 each a masterpiece of strangeness and terror.
00:58 In this room is a young man who is on his
01:02 way to commit a murder.
01:06 Katie, can't you be patient?
01:08 I told you I'll get everything when he kicks the bucket.
01:16 Isn't it time he did?
01:19 Katie, he can't last long.
01:22 He's half off his head already, fiddling around with this
01:25 weird hocus pocus he goes in for.
01:27 Simon, you're backing down again, aren't you, dear?
01:32 No, no.
01:33 Then what is it, my sweet?
01:35 Surely you don't doubt your plan will work.
01:38 Yes, it'll work.
01:39 You've got the plan.
01:41 What you need is the courage to carry it out.
01:43 That's a nice thing to say, isn't it?
01:48 After all, I'm the one that's going to be hanged if
01:50 anything goes wrong.
01:51 Well, if that's the way you feel.
01:54 Oh, now, Katie, wait a minute.
01:55 My dear, it's as simple as this.
01:59 If you don't go through with it, I'm through with you.
02:03 I'm very fond of you, Ducky, but I can live without you.
02:07 Money, I've got to have.
02:10 Listen, Katie, leave it to me.
02:17 Listen.
02:19 She wants money.
02:23 He wants her.
02:25 Well, to satisfy both these desirous young people,
02:31 someone will have to die.
02:35 Drink your claret.
02:37 You're going to need it.
02:40 You are about to meet the extra passenger in one of the
02:45 eeriest tales ever told.
02:47 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:07 [TRAIN WHISTLE]
03:29 Ticket, please, sir.
03:32 You're for Aberdeen.
03:34 Change to Edinburgh.
03:35 No, I wouldn't do that, sir.
03:38 This brace is worked loose.
03:40 I'll make a note of it in my report.
03:43 Next stop, Sudbury, Penford, East
03:45 Chamberlain after that.
03:46 I'll have those for a while, I think.
03:47 Very good, sir.
03:48 [TRAIN WHISTLE]
03:52 [TRAIN HORN]
03:55 [TRAIN HORN]
04:18 Sudbury.
04:24 7 minutes past 10.
04:28 Penford for junction.
04:31 East Chamberlain at 9 minutes past 11.
04:35 For an hour.
04:40 That's plenty of time.
04:42 It's plenty.
04:45 Now, four minutes to Uncle's house.
04:49 And a straight run back to East Chamberlain.
04:53 Then on the train, nobody's the wiser.
04:58 It's perfect.
05:00 Full proof.
05:02 I do say so myself.
05:03 OK.
05:10 [TRAIN HORN]

12:18 Oh, excuse me, sir.
12:19 I must have dozed off.
12:20 I thought you might like some tea, sir.
12:21 Oh, no.
12:22 I don't think I fancy any right now, thank you.
12:24 Aberdeen next stop, sir.
12:37 [BELL RINGING]
12:41 Excuse me.
12:43 How did you get in here?
12:45 [BELL RINGING]
12:49 Did you get on the train when we came through East Chamberlain,
12:51 sir?
12:52 [BELL RINGING]
12:55 Are you asleep or something?
12:59 This is a reserve compartment, you know.
13:01 [BELL RINGING]
13:04 Why didn't I see you when I came in?
13:06 [BELL RINGING]
13:09 Look, you've no right here.
13:10 You're in the wrong compartment.
13:12 I am not.
13:13 Where did you get on?
13:19 After you got off.
13:22 What?
13:24 I haven't been off a train.
13:26 I thought you might have gone to see your uncle.
13:29 Oh, you know my uncle?
13:34 Yeah.
13:36 It's a pity you didn't know more about him.
13:38 Look, if there's something I ought to know,
13:45 I'd like to hear it.
13:46 Oh, but you shall.
13:47 Your uncle was a madge.
13:53 Madge?
13:54 A warlock, then, if you like it better.
13:59 So if he is a warlock, what does he do?
14:03 He has his own familiar on wings.
14:06 On wings?
14:11 He can send a lich to about if he has a mind to do it.
14:16 A lich?
14:17 What's that?
14:18 A lich is a corpse.
14:21 Your uncle was a great one for doing things like that.
14:24 He could send a corpse about for a special purpose.
14:32 Like now.
14:33 He was a great one for doing things like that?
14:40 He was, you say?
14:41 You know what I mean.
14:44 And you, whoever you are, you know a great deal too much.
14:51 Simon!
14:52 Come to me, Simon.
15:00 Bring your face nearer to me, son.
15:06 Nearer to me, son.
15:09 [MUSIC PLAYING]
15:12 [SCREAMING]
15:35 But he was alone in here, Doctor.
15:38 Both these doors were locked.
15:41 Whether he was alone or not, locked in or not,
15:45 I think I can tell you what killed him.
15:48 These marks look as if they were made by a fighting cock,
15:54 as if its claws punctured his throat.
15:58 Strange.
15:59 [MUSIC PLAYING]
16:02 Strange.
16:07 [MUSIC PLAYING]
16:28 [MUSIC PLAYING]
16:31 You'll take another glass of this claret, of course.
16:36 It'll brace you for a different force of evil.
16:40 All the night birds show up sooner or later
16:43 in a pub like this.
16:45 Musicians between shows, detectives looking for someone,
16:49 peers of the realm, reporters, actors, men about town,
16:54 the flotsam of a great city, and people in trouble
16:59 or looking for trouble.
17:01 You know what we really want is something different.
17:03 Well, you do get tired of Piccadilly, musical comedies
17:07 and all that stuff.
17:09 Pardon me.
17:10 Do you mind if I join you two gentlemen?
17:12 Why, why, why, why.
17:13 I couldn't help overhearing your conversation.
17:16 Have you gents ever heard of Royster House?
17:19 Lots of swells go there.
17:21 You mean that old place that looks like a castle
17:23 down on the Isle of Dogs?
17:24 That's right.
17:25 Mm-hmm.
17:26 And they're always pulling dead people out of the river
17:29 down there.
17:30 Not a mark on them.
17:31 Nothing to show how they die.
17:33 Oh, go on.
17:34 Them's was in the old days.
17:37 There's gambling gents, and it's straight, too.
17:40 Now, if you want a little flutter,
17:43 there's the place for it.
17:45 Sounds like fun.
17:46 All right.
17:47 You're guards officers off duty, ain't you, Ducks?
17:51 How did you know?
17:52 Now, mind you, I wouldn't recommend the place
17:55 if it wasn't all above board.
17:57 Of course you wouldn't.
17:59 What do you say, Ashton?
18:00 Yeah, it might be rather interesting.
18:02 No, no, better not.
18:04 I have an engagement.
18:05 Ah, who with?
18:06 Supper with Marsha.
18:08 Well, that's too bad.
18:10 Good night.
18:11 Yeah, how about a little pint for me, dearie?
18:14 Well, why not?
18:16 Ah.
18:17 Good night.
18:18 Good night.
18:19 [CHATTER]
18:22 And number four wins.
18:44 What did I tell you?
18:46 Tonight I can't lose.
18:47 You're my master.
18:48 You're bringing me luck.
18:51 Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen.
18:53 Place your bets.
18:54 No more betting, ladies and gentlemen.
19:00 No more betting.
19:01 Number five and red, sir.
19:13 Ever seen anything like it?
19:15 Pardon my honor as a soldier.
19:17 Never.
19:18 I just bet on impulse, and I keep getting the right number.

20:03 [MUSIC PLAYING]
20:06 [MUSIC PLAYING]
20:35 Thank you, Obaio.
20:36 Thank you.
20:37 I'll break the bank if this keeps up.
20:39 [MUSIC PLAYING]
20:42 Ah, chuck it in, sir.
20:59 All right.
21:01 I tell you what I'm going to do.
21:03 I'm going to put everything on number two.
21:08 [CHATTER]
21:11 [ENGINE REVVING]
21:16 Number two.
21:31 You win, sir.
21:32 [CHATTER]
22:01 If this money was mine, sir, I'd hire a steam yacht,
22:05 sail to the south of France, and spend the rest of my life
22:08 in Monte Carlo.
22:09 A gentleman at leisure.
22:11 That's been the dream of my life.
22:13 Well, jolly good.
22:15 And I hope you make it.
22:17 Thank you, M.S. I hope I do.
22:19 Ah, hard and round as a cannonball.
22:24 If only they'd fired cannonballs like this at Balaclava.
22:28 Oh, you were in the Crimean War, eh?
22:31 This is my regimental scarf, sir.
22:33 I've only one other.
22:35 The Lempthasars, the old cherry pickers.
22:42 My souvenir, sir.
22:43 Remember the charge of the light brigade?
22:49 These were our fathers.
22:52 Oh, the light brigade.
22:54 Charge for the guns, they said.
22:56 Russian guns.
22:58 We went across the mile at them, a mile of open space.
23:02 Cannons to the right of us, cannons to the left of us,
23:05 cannon in front of us, falling and thundered.
23:09 Ours not to reason why.
23:12 Ours but to do or die.
23:14 Only one in three came back, sir.
23:21 And now I'm hanging up hats and coats.
23:24 The old cherry pickers, pride of the line.
23:28 Steady does it, sir.
23:30 You'll be mad to try to get back to your quarter, sir.
23:32 You could very easily be robbed.
23:34 You can find a room, can't you?
23:36 We often put people up, sir.
23:37 Thank you very much.
23:38 Thank you.
23:39 Oopsie-daisy.
23:40 All right, sir, it's all right, sir.
23:45 I'll carry it, sir.
23:46 Jolly good, sir.
23:47 Come along, young man.
23:49 Everybody's being very kind.
23:53 You know, I'm... I think I'm a little tight.
23:56 Better put your money under the pillow, sir.
23:58 A very good idea.
24:00 Good night.

29:55 Wake up.
29:56 Ashton.
29:57 Oh, it's you.
30:00 Get up.
30:01 No way.
30:02 Turn around.
30:03 I want to show you something.
30:04 Get out of bed.
30:05 Come on.
30:06 What do you want?
30:08 I won a fortune tonight.
30:09 You won a fortune.
30:10 You don't believe in gambling, do you?
30:12 You say you can never win at it.
30:13 Did you wake me up to ask me that?
30:16 I want to give you the surprise of your young life.
30:19 [MUSIC PLAYING]
30:22 [INAUDIBLE]
30:43 [INAUDIBLE]
30:46 [LAUGHTER]
30:49 [MUSIC PLAYING]
31:08 [MUSIC PLAYING]
31:11 I sometimes think, and perhaps you do too,
31:18 how outrageous it would have seemed
31:20 to anyone 100 years ago if they had been told that someday men
31:25 would be doing exactly what you're doing now,
31:28 listening to a voice, watching a picture plucked,
31:33 as it were, out of the air.
31:35 [MUSIC PLAYING]
31:38 We've learned a lot in the last 100 years.
31:44 But how much do you suppose has been
31:46 forgotten in the past 5,000?
31:49 You know how scientists cough at folklore and ancient beliefs.
31:54 But every now and then, they amaze themselves
31:57 with the discovery that our remote ancestors
32:00 were right after all.
32:02 Our third tale of terror contains the echo
32:05 of an ancient fable, which may not be a fable at all.
32:09 It begins with a manhunt, a search for a murderer,
32:13 a strangler, if you will.
32:16 We've thrown a cordon around the entire area.
32:18 Detectives are watching at local railway
32:20 stations and all bus stops.
32:22 You're sure it's the latent strangler?
32:23 Positive.
32:24 And we know he's in this area.
32:26 And the girl is dead, Inspector.
32:29 Yes, she is.
32:30 Strangled, just like the others.
32:33 We don't often get this sort of a criminal, thank heaven.
32:36 But this time, we know who we're after.
32:38 He's a clever devil.
32:40 But he won't get away from us this time.
32:42 We have his trademark.
32:44 Black kid glove.
32:47 He left this at the scene of the crime.

33:21 [MUSIC PLAYING]
33:24 [MUSIC PLAYING]
33:46 [MUSIC PLAYING]
34:14 Listen.
34:16 It's all a mistake.
34:18 I can explain everything.
34:19 I can explain it.
34:20 [MUSIC PLAYING]
34:26 These dummies.
34:43 Dummies.
34:44 Statues.
34:55 My pets amuse you, sir?
35:05 I am the only live one here.
35:09 I thought they were all alive.
35:12 I came in, and there they were all staring at me.
35:15 It gave me a bit of a turn for a minute.
35:17 They are lifelike, you know, very--
35:21 I've never seen figures as good as this.
35:23 You must be quite an artist at it.
35:25 You're really very kind.
35:27 Would you like me to show you around?
35:30 Well, if it isn't too much trouble.
35:32 Not at all.
35:33 It is beyond my usual closing time.
35:36 If you don't mind, I will lock up.
35:38 Now we shan't be interrupted.
35:40 Not that it makes much difference.
35:42 Not many people come here, especially at night.
35:46 Let us start over here, shall we, sir?
35:48 This is Rogerson.
35:54 He poisoned his brother, his brother's wife,
35:57 and their seven-year-old child.
35:59 Cyanide of the heart.
36:01 He poisoned his brother's wife, his brother's wife,
36:04 and their seven-year-old child.
36:07 Cyanide of potassium.
36:09 You can see by his face a selfish, cruel man.
36:13 Yes.
36:15 Yes.
36:17 Oh, what do you think of this one?
36:20 Didn't he come out well?
36:22 Yes, he did.
36:24 Who is he?
36:25 Nick Chult.
36:27 Chevy Nick, they called him, because the knife was his weapon.
36:30 He was a gypsy gambler.
36:32 He would steal and cut his victims' throat if he resisted.
36:36 He is enough to scare the daylights out of anybody.
36:40 All he needs is the knife in his hand.
36:42 Oh, thank you for reminding me.
36:44 You've got wonderful detail in him.
36:48 You've caught him very well.
36:49 He is very lifelike, you know.
36:52 But these are works of art, no doubt about it.
36:54 I like to think so.
36:56 For several years now, I have devoted myself to them.
36:59 At that time, my whole interest was in Grecian archaeology.
37:02 Come, I will show you one that I think you will find very interesting.
37:07 Now, this one I like very much, perhaps best of all.
37:10 He was a physician, the first man, as far as I know, to use air to create an embolism.
37:16 That is to say, he injected air to kill his victims.
37:20 Another murderer?
37:22 Are these all murderers?
37:23 Yes, they're all murderers.
37:25 I show these fiends in all their bestiality.
37:28 They are as handsome, actually, as they were.
37:31 Do you like pork, sir?
37:33 Yes, I would very much.
37:35 Only murderers.
37:41 There are other crimes, you know.
37:43 Oh, but surely nothing so wicked as the deliberate destruction of a human life.
37:49 Yes, you're right, of course, quite right.
37:51 Even now the police are looking for such a man.
37:54 A murderer, who brutally murdered his innocent victims, a foul thing, sir.
37:59 Well, I must not bore you, sir.
38:04 We were talking about Dr. Hartwell.
38:06 Hartwell?
38:08 Did you say Dr. Hartwell?
38:10 Yes.
38:11 I remember the paper saying that he'd always been careful about his photo being taken.
38:18 There were hardly any pictures of him when he disappeared.
38:22 I believe that was so.
38:24 This looks perfect.
38:26 I didn't know he'd even been caught.
38:28 Now, if you made it up from descriptions...
38:30 Oh, no, no, I didn't make it up. No, no, no.
38:33 You got hold of some photos, I suppose.
38:35 No. Well, I am an artist.
38:39 I have methods of my own.
38:42 You certainly are an artist.
38:45 This must be a special stone you use.
38:47 It's very hard and it's very cold, too.
38:51 There isn't much colour about him, is there?
38:53 I noticed that they all look a bit grey.
38:56 Tell me, Mr. Meelow,
38:59 is this just a model of Dr. Hartwell, or is this the doctor himself?
39:05 Well, yes.
39:08 That is, or was, Dr. Hartwell.

39:47 I thought you said these were murderers the police had never caught.
39:57 There was no legal evidence against them, but they were guilty.
40:01 But what about her?
40:03 Oh, it is just a touch.
40:05 I thought the surroundings were appropriate.
40:08 She was the widow, Lyndon.
40:11 Her husband was a butcher, most unpleasant man,
40:14 so she ground him up and sold him for sausages.
40:17 You killed them.
40:19 You took it upon yourself to kill them and petrify them somehow,
40:24 and then to exhibit them here in this freak shop.
40:27 You're a worse murderer than any of them.
40:30 I beg you, sir, you do not understand.
40:32 But 12. You've got it marked on your door.
40:35 What did you do? Poison them, shoot them, drop them alive in a vat of plaster?
40:39 I did not kill them.
40:41 They wouldn't have killed themselves.
40:43 But they did. All the same way.
40:45 How?
40:47 I could tell you.
40:51 I don't think you would believe me.
40:56 Have you heard of the Gorgon's head? The head of Medusa?
41:00 Medusa? Wasn't that a monster of some sort?
41:04 No, no. Medusa was a queen. She actually lived.
41:08 You are like all the rest of them.
41:10 You believe only what you read in Greek legends,
41:12 how horrible she was, how Perseus slew her.
41:16 Didn't he see her reflection in his polished shield or something when he killed her?
41:21 Yes. Because it was death to look upon her face,
41:24 upon her mask, as they call it.
41:27 Anyone who did that was...
41:29 Turned to stone.
41:31 Medusa was a myth, a made-up story.
41:35 Just looking at someone can't petrify your blood or turn your flesh to stone.
41:38 You know that's impossible.
41:40 Is it? Would you dare to look upon the face of Medusa?
41:44 Perseus buried Medusa's head in the marketplace at Argos in Greece.
41:49 The ruins of that ancient town are still there. You can see them.
41:53 I located that marketplace and dug there.
41:56 I don't believe you.
41:58 I don't expect you to believe me.
42:00 But consider this.
42:02 This medium, newly discovered, invisibly burns human flesh from the distance.
42:08 Nobody knows how, but it happens.
42:11 Why shouldn't there be similar substances that draw the life out of a body and petrify the remains?
42:18 Here is a piece of wood that has been petrified.
42:22 That has turned to stone.
42:24 Consider Lot's wife suddenly turned into a pillar of salt.
42:29 Explain to me, please, how electrical impulses travel along a solid wire,
42:35 travel thousands of miles instantaneously.
42:39 Nobody knows how these things are done.
42:41 That is not to say they cannot be done, that they have never been done and never will be done.
42:47 All right, have it your own way, but let me tell you something.
42:50 You wouldn't want the police dissecting these, would you? Not if you killed them.
42:54 I did not kill them.
42:56 They killed themselves by looking.
43:00 By looking. All right, I won't argue with you.
43:04 But you still don't want the police nosing about here, do you?
43:08 Mr. Meelow, Mr. Meelow.
43:11 Mr. Meelow, open that, please.
43:13 Just a moment.
43:17 Sorry to bother you, Mr. Meelow, but we're searching all the buildings in this area.
43:21 We're looking for someone, sir. Do you mind if we come in?
43:23 Not at all. All right, Grimes.
43:26 Pardon me, sir, but for whom are you looking?
43:30 The strangler, the latent strangler. We know he's in the area.
43:34 Who is he? What does he look like?
43:36 We don't know that, Mr. Meelow.
43:38 All we know is that he's a madman and wears gloves, black kid gloves.
43:42 Black kid gloves? Yes, odd little quirk now, isn't it?
43:52 Very good. Very interesting. Yes.
43:56 You, um, you don't seem to have any equipment here.
44:06 You don't make them on the premises, do you?
44:08 No, I don't make them here.
44:10 Well, none of these models seem to be breathing.
44:13 Nobody could be here without Mr. Meelow knowing.
44:15 All right, then, we'll get along, men.
44:17 Thank you, Mr. Meelow. Thank you, sir.
44:19 I've never seen very many people in and out of your place, Mr. Meelow,
44:22 but we had to check, you know.
44:24 Uh, Mr. Meelow, you don't make much of a living here, do you?
44:32 No, but I have a private income.
44:35 I think I can tell you why. You don't have much of an attraction here.
44:39 All you have is a gallery of suspects.
44:42 What you really need are wax figures of genuine convicted murderers
44:47 dressed in their own clothes.
44:49 Sort of chamber of horrors, don't you know?
44:51 That's what the people really like.
44:54 Good night, Mr. Meelow. Good night, sir.
44:56 You were hiding from them.
45:08 Well, I'm in a little trouble. I didn't want to be seen.
45:11 I don't want to be caught hanging around here either.
45:13 They might come back. You can help me get away.
45:17 Now, you must have a crate or something you move these models in.
45:20 Now, if I was the model in the crate, alive, of course,
45:23 you can hire a van to move it. Do you see what I mean?
45:26 Tonight? That would cost money. I don't know where...
45:29 Well, I've got plenty of money.
45:31 Now, what would it cost? Ten pounds? Twenty pounds?
45:34 I tell you, I've got plenty of money. I've got plenty of money.
45:44 You... You are the man who killed that girl.
45:48 Well, that's nothing to what you've been up to.
45:51 If the police ever get on to what's been going on around here,
45:54 12 of them, right in here.
45:56 Now, what about that crate?
45:58 Once I get away, I'll be safe, and so will you, too.
46:01 There's no chance that they'll ever find me, I'll tell you that.
46:03 They may be here. They're very determined about you.
46:07 I'll get away, all right?
46:09 If you don't want to help me, I'm no worse off.
46:11 The police have gone now. I can try it on my own. They won't catch me.
46:14 Wait. Wait.
46:17 I don't even have to be caught to tip them off about you, either.
46:20 I can send a message or even telephone.
46:22 Come on, now, make up your mind, one way or another.
46:25 I have.
46:27 I didn't want to do this, but you forced me.
46:30 Well, so long as you do it, that's all I care.
46:33 Someone around here must have a horse and van.
46:35 You don't accept my story about the Medusa, do you?
46:39 You think it is rings untrue?
46:42 You'd have to be crazy to believe that.
46:44 You think that these are all corpses that I have treated with plaster?
46:49 I don't see how they can be anything else.
46:52 None of them ever believed me.
46:54 Perhaps nobody ever will.
47:00 Now, listen. What about that crate?
47:02 I had hoped to convince you, but since I have failed...
47:07 Look, you murderer. Look in the mask of Medusa.
47:10 It's ridiculous.
47:15 Ugly, ridden devil.
