00:35 More come tomorrow.
00:37 More thirty.
00:42 It's almost sundown.
00:46 If he thinks the place is closed, he'll go away.

01:04 [bell ringing]
01:31 [bell ringing]
01:33 [laughing]
01:40 So it's you. You frightened me.
01:42 All right, you can come in.
01:44 But nobody else, nobody else gets in.
01:47 Nobody. Nobody.
01:51 [door opening]
01:53 [cat meowing]
02:05 [cat hissing]
02:08 Kitty, what's the matter?
02:10 Mr. Spangler.
02:12 Mr. Spangler.
02:20 I've been waiting for you.
02:22 Where, where did you come from?
02:25 Oh, now really, Spangler,
02:28 you know better than to ask me that.
02:31 [footsteps]
02:34 [cat hissing]
02:37 I can't see you.
02:41 Where are you?
02:43 Here, you miserable little miser,
02:45 waiting for you.
02:48 I've been waiting a whole year.
02:51 But you've got to give me a little more time.
02:55 Just a little more time.
02:57 Of what, Spangler?
02:59 Counting your useless money?
03:01 Man increases, midas.
03:03 You're all alike, barren and sterile.
03:07 You can't take me now.
03:09 For the first time in my life, I have something.
03:12 At least let me enjoy it.
03:16 Enjoy it?
03:18 What does a miser know of pleasure?
03:21 It is better to live than to just die rich.
03:26 A bargain is a bargain, however,
03:29 and your time was up at sundown.
03:33 Come with me.
03:36 Come with me.
03:39 Your money won't help you now.
03:46 Spangler!
03:48 Oh, no!
03:53 [screams]
03:55 The name of our story is "The Devil's Ticket."
04:08 It has to do with an artist,
04:11 and they tell us that one picture is worth a thousand words.
04:15 You will see...
04:17 ...McDonald Carey...
04:22 ...Joan Tetzel...
04:28 ...Patricia Medina...
04:34 ...and John Emery.
04:40 Now, there's a rogues' gallery if I ever saw one,
04:44 and I can assure you they're up to no good,
04:47 as you'll find out for yourself
04:50 if you have the courage to stay with us.

05:15 [music]
05:17 Hector, you're not eating.
05:37 Oh, sorry.
05:41 [glass clinking]
05:43 It's good soup.
05:48 Maybe I'm sick of soup.
05:51 Something's wrong.
05:54 A woman's intuition.
05:57 The painting didn't go well today, did it?
06:00 Oh, yes, my dear. The painting went very well today.
06:03 I can hang it on the wall along with all the others.
06:06 And then what? Look at them.
06:09 It's been two years since I had a showing. Two years!
06:11 But the critics liked your work.
06:14 Yes, the critics. They said I was a finished artist.
06:17 How right they were.
06:20 Where are you going?
06:22 Why do I always go when I'm sick of soup? To Spangler, of course.
06:25 You've pawned just about everything we own.
06:28 What about the silverware?
06:30 The stuff we got for wedding presents?
06:34 Spangler has it all.
06:36 No!
06:48 I know.
06:50 I swore I'd never pawn any of my paintings.
06:53 Poor but proud, that's me.
06:56 Loving a Garrett, that's me.
07:00 Poor but proud, that's me.
07:02 Loving a Garrett and all that sort of thing.
07:05 Well, that's finished.
07:07 But Hector, not the still life.
07:09 Why not? It's only a masterpiece.
07:12 If we have to.
07:15 Don't let him cheat you now.
07:17 Oh, Spangler, how can you say that?
07:19 He knows an original Hector Vane is worth a thousand dollars.
07:22 So maybe you'll give me ten bucks for it.
07:25 (music)
07:27 Mr. Spangler?
07:50 Mr. Spangler?
07:54 (music)
07:56 Yes?
07:59 Oh.
08:04 Where's Mr. Spangler?
08:06 Spangler is finished.
08:08 I have taken his place.
08:10 How can I serve you?
08:12 I'd like to get a loan on this.
08:16 Perhaps if we could have a little more light.
08:21 I do not need the light.
08:24 (footsteps)
08:25 You painted this?
08:28 Yes.
08:30 Ah, I see you are a realist.
08:32 I approve of that young man.
08:34 We must all face reality.
08:36 That's why I'm here.
08:38 Yes, indeed.
08:40 The abstractionist painters now,
08:42 they're trying to escape.
08:44 And of course there is no escape.
08:46 I'm beginning to find that out.
08:48 Those bearded young fellows with their stupid scrawls.
08:50 I don't understand their work.
08:52 I don't understand their work at all.
08:53 I sometimes think they must paint with their beards.
08:56 (laughs)
08:58 But this,
09:00 this is real painting.
09:03 You like it?
09:06 Yes.
09:08 The shoes look like shoes.
09:11 (laughs)
09:13 You have an unusual talent.
09:15 What will you offer me for the picture?
09:18 I'm alone.
09:21 Nothing.
09:22 I do not deal in paintings.
09:25 But it's all I have to pawn.
09:28 Don't be so sure, Hector Vane.
09:30 You know me?
09:33 Your signature's on the painting.
09:35 It tells me many things.
09:38 Those old shoes,
09:40 poverty.
09:42 You must be very poor.
09:45 You should be rich, famous.
09:47 That's what I want, yes.
09:50 But right now, I'll settle for $10 in cash.
09:52 Don't be a fool.
09:54 You can have anything you want.
09:56 Everything.
09:58 Who are you?
10:02 Your benefactor.
10:04 The one who can give you all that you desire.
10:07 What the devil do you mean?
10:10 Now, now, let's not mention any names.
10:14 It's ridiculous.
10:15 The next thing I know,
10:17 you'll be trying to get me to sell you my soul.
10:20 Not sell, Mr. Vane.
10:24 If you prefer, you can pawn it with me.
10:27 Pawn it?
10:29 You mean a regular
10:31 pawn ticket deal for 90 days?
10:35 Yes.
10:37 I'll give you a chance to sell it.
10:41 Pawn ticket deal for 90 days?
10:43 That sounds like a reasonable length of time.
10:47 Think it over, Mr. Vane.
10:50 Fame,
10:52 riches,
10:54 whatever you desire.
10:57 I don't believe it.
11:03 You'll see.
11:05 Suppose I agreed.
11:08 Then what?
11:10 How could I redeem my pledge?
11:11 Very simply.
11:13 By painting a picture for me.
11:16 What's the matter with this picture? It's good.
11:19 Ah, but that's a still life, Mr. Vane.
11:21 Not really suitable for my collection at all.
11:24 Now, we'll talk about that later,
11:26 after I fulfill my part of the bargain.
11:29 Now,
11:32 will you be good enough to sign your name?
11:37 (dramatic music)
11:39 Just sign my name?
11:49 That's all.
11:51 Just a legal precaution.
11:53 Legal?
11:56 Don't scoff, Mr. Vane.
11:58 In my time, I've had dealings with many lawyers.
12:04 Sign here, please.
12:06 (dramatic music)
12:09 Excellent.
12:20 Here is your ticket.
12:23 Redeemable at sundown
12:26 on the 5th of April.
12:29 (dramatic music)
12:33 (dramatic music)
12:35 Is this all I have to show for it?
12:42 Just an ordinary pawn ticket?
12:45 It's all you'll need, Mr. Vane.
12:48 It's all you'll need.
12:50 (dramatic music)
12:53 (clanging)
12:58 (dramatic music)
13:01 (dramatic music)
13:03 (dramatic music)
13:06 (dramatic music)
13:09 (dramatic music)
13:12 (dramatic music)
13:15 (knocking)
13:18 Darling?
13:25 Yes.
13:27 Darling, darling, darling.
13:30 Marie, what's wrong?
13:31 Wrong, there's nothing wrong.
13:33 Everything's right.
13:35 He just called on the landlady's phone.
13:37 He wants to see you right away tonight.
13:39 Who?
13:41 Well, Eppert, your art dealer.
13:42 He talked to Howard Lanson about your work.
13:45 You mean the Lanson Art Gallery?
13:47 That Lanson?
13:49 Yes, he's planning a one-man show for you next month.
13:52 Eppert says he's ready to buy six of the big oils now,
13:56 particularly the still life,
13:59 and he says he's ready to sell the still life.
14:01 He says he's ready to sell the still life.

15:49 He says he's ready to sell the still life.
15:52 He says he's ready to sell the still life.
15:56 Is everything satisfactory?
15:58 It's a dream.
16:00 Life is a dream, Mr. Vane.
16:02 I don't see how you do it.
16:04 The show, the sales,
16:07 and now these wealthy people who buy my pictures.
16:11 What do you know?
16:13 They're even giving me tips on the market.
16:16 I promised you fame and riches.
16:19 And you promised me.
16:21 That's why I'm here.
16:24 If I came a month in advance...
16:27 Not quite a month now.
16:30 26 days, Mr. Vane.
16:33 Just 26 more days.
16:36 I know, but there's no need for you to wait.
16:39 You have the picture for me?
16:41 Where is it?
16:43 Why, it's in my studio, of course.
16:45 I painted it especially for you.
16:47 It's a beautiful landscape.
16:49 Landscape?
16:52 Landscape?
16:53 That's very clever of you, my dear sir.
16:56 Very clever indeed.
16:58 I didn't mean to be clever.
17:00 I don't want a landscape, Mr. Vane.
17:02 My agreement calls for me to make a choice.
17:05 I want you to paint a portrait.
17:07 One of those portraits that you alone can paint.
17:10 A portrait that captures the soul.
17:13 The soul?
17:15 Why do you keep insisting on the soul?
17:17 For a very good reason.
17:19 Because I hold your soul in pawn.
17:21 Unless you redeem it with another soul,
17:23 I shall claim possession.
17:25 Full possession.
17:27 That means somebody else would be...
17:29 You made the bargain, Mr. Vane.
17:31 So it's your soul against another.
17:35 I can't believe it.
17:48 It's like a nightmare.
17:50 Life is a nightmare, Mr. Vane.
17:53 There's no other way?
17:56 Don't take it so hard, my friend.
17:59 I'm not limiting you.
18:01 Whose portrait you give me doesn't matter in the least.
18:04 Just as long as you paint faithfully.
18:07 So that your genius will mirror the soul of the sitter.
18:12 That would be murder.
18:14 Worse than murder.
18:16 Yes.
18:19 Yes.
18:20 Isn't that so terrible?
18:22 Perhaps there's someone you would like to get rid of.
18:25 Paint his portrait and satisfy us both.
18:29 26 days, Mr. Vane.
18:32 You have just 26 days.
18:36 [dramatic music]
18:38 Oh, Hector, you're not eating.
18:59 I'm sorry.
19:02 [dramatic music]
19:04 Something's wrong.
19:11 No, everything's fine.
19:13 I'm just not hungry.
19:15 Where are you going?
19:18 The studio.
19:21 The studio.
19:23 You know, with all the money you've made,
19:28 I don't know why you want to keep that old place.
19:32 For sentimental reasons.
19:33 Besides, it has north light.
19:35 North light?
19:37 What difference does that make at night?
19:39 I don't understand what's come over you lately.
19:43 Sleeping half the day and only painting in the evenings.
19:46 You don't understand me, period.
19:49 That overcoat.
19:55 Why do you keep on wearing such a shabby old suit?
19:59 Why do you keep on wearing such a shabby old thing?
20:01 For the same reason I keep the studio.
20:04 Sentiment.
20:06 Darling.
20:08 You haven't been very sentimental lately.
20:15 Maybe I've changed.
20:21 Good night.
20:24 [dramatic music]
20:27 [door opens]
20:29 [door closes]
20:30 [dramatic music]
20:57 [sobbing]
20:58 Darling.
21:13 You're so sentimental.
21:16 How can I help it?
21:18 You treat all your models this way.
21:22 I never had a model like you before.
21:26 Back to your easel lover.
21:28 Nadja.
21:34 Nadja, darling.
21:35 You're supposed to be a painter, not a sculptor.
21:39 You keep treating me like a joke.
21:44 What else am I to do?
21:46 Hiding away with me here in this crummy little garret,
21:49 then running off to that big penthouse of yours
21:52 must give you a million laughs.
21:54 A million laughs.
21:55 Is that a joke?
22:12 Is it?
22:14 No.
22:16 No.
22:17 I never knew I could feel this way about anyone.
22:20 Prove it.
22:22 How?
22:23 I'm going to Mexico for a year on April 3rd.
22:26 Come with me.
22:28 April 3rd?
22:30 I can't.
22:33 Your wife giving a tea party for some of her rich friends?
22:39 It isn't that.
22:41 It'll take me just a couple of weeks longer.
22:44 Go on. Keep asking for more time.
22:46 I know that technique.
22:48 Well, I'm sorry, darling.
22:50 I have made my reservations.
22:51 But I'll need more time to straighten out my affairs.
22:53 I'm sick of that word "affairs."
22:56 I'm talking about marriage.
22:59 So am I.
23:01 I thought I wanted money and fame.
23:05 All the while, what I really wanted was you.
23:08 Never mind the analysis, darling.
23:14 Save that for the psychiatrist.
23:17 Psychiatrist?
23:20 Psychiatrist.
23:21 Of course.
23:25 Psychiatrist could be the answer.
23:27 The answer to what?
23:30 It could be the answer to everything.
23:34 What more can I say?
23:48 Sounds a little wild, doesn't it?
23:49 I've heard wilder.
23:51 Yes, from your patience.
23:53 You don't consider yourself my patient?
23:55 No.
23:57 What I've told you happens to be the truth.
23:59 The truth, as you see it.
24:01 As I've lived it.
24:03 What is truth?
24:05 Pontius Pilate asked that question long ago.
24:07 The closest we've come to an answer is that there are two kinds of truth.
24:11 Objective and subjective.
24:14 Yours is subjective.
24:17 What you see in your own mind.
24:18 I told you this pawnbroker actually exists.
24:21 Everything really happened.
24:23 Of course.
24:25 It's all a matter of how you interpret them.
24:27 What's your interpretation, doctor?
24:29 Coincidence.
24:31 You met this man, he played upon your suggestibility.
24:34 There's nothing supernatural about it.
24:36 He's the devil.
24:38 He told you this?
24:40 Not in so many words.
24:42 Does he have horns?
24:44 No.
24:46 Poops?
24:47 A tail?
24:49 No, of course not.
24:51 I see, but you think he's Satan.
24:53 But everything he's promised came true.
24:55 Why? Because he promised?
24:57 Or because it would have come true anyway?
24:59 You've been a painter for many years.
25:01 You told me yourself that sooner or later success was bound to come.
25:04 That pawnbroker had nothing to do with what happened.
25:07 But he has my soul.
25:09 Did he go to that art gallery and force them to have a showing?
25:12 Did he influence the critics?
25:15 How could he make people purchase your paintings?
25:17 Think a moment. You'll see that he had no part in it at all.
25:20 You don't understand. He has my soul.
25:22 Only if you want to believe he does.
25:25 Only if you believe in him.
25:27 You don't?
25:29 In the old days they called it demonic possession.
25:32 Today we know that evil spirits and devils
25:35 don't enter human minds or human bodies.
25:39 We recognize schizophrenia, the paranoid syndrome.
25:44 In other words, I'm not crazy, but the pawnbroker is.
25:46 From your description, he would appear to be mentally disturbed.
25:49 But what shall I do?
25:51 My advice to you is to do nothing.
25:53 Absolutely nothing.
25:55 Just stay away from him.
25:57 But you don't understand.
25:59 If you could only see him, you'd know.
26:01 You'd feel better if I saw him?
26:03 Would you just go to the pawnshop and see for yourself?
26:06 Perhaps on one condition.
26:08 What?
26:10 That you consent to regular treatment.
26:13 But I thought you said there was nothing wrong with me.
26:15 I told you there was nothing supernatural involved in your problem,
26:18 but there is a problem.
26:20 Your immediate situation with your wife, with this girl.
26:24 Don't you believe you need treatment?
26:29 Yes, I need help.
26:33 Miss Dexter will set up a schedule of appointments.
26:42 But you promised you'd go see the pawnbroker.
26:44 Well, ordinarily, I'd have no ethical right to interfere.
26:49 But as your physician, yes, I'll see him.
26:54 Thank you, doctor.
26:56 Thank you.
26:58 It's wonderful.
27:10 It's wonderful.
27:11 You seem terribly gay tonight.
27:16 It's a celebration.
27:18 Oh, and what are we celebrating? My running away to Mexico?
27:22 We're celebrating our running away to Mexico.
27:26 Since when?
27:28 I've made some new arrangements.
27:31 I'm pretty sure I can get away.
27:34 Just pretty sure?
27:36 I'll know tomorrow.
27:39 What happens tomorrow?
27:40 I meet a man, he has something to tell me,
27:43 and then we go away together.
27:45 Mexico.
27:48 Margaritas and Monterey, tequilas in Tosco,
27:52 salute to the brave bulls,
27:54 siesta in Sonora,
27:56 and pick passion flowers in Xochimilco.
28:00 It sounds wonderful, darling.
28:04 It sounds too good to be true.
28:08 But it is true.
28:09 Tell me tomorrow, Hector.
28:12 Roger.
28:15 Why don't we leave now and go up to the studio?
28:20 Tomorrow.
28:24 Dr. Frank?
28:33 Dr. Frank?
28:37 Dr. Frank?
28:38 Good day, Mr. Vane.
28:48 Doctor.
28:50 Where is he?
28:52 The letter says that he was detained by another appointment.
28:56 Permanently detained.
28:59 What are you doing here?
29:01 I could ask you the same question.
29:04 You should be working.
29:06 Working?
29:07 Yes.
29:09 You owe me a painting, remember?
29:11 And don't waste your time sending doctors or policemen either.
29:16 Just deliver the portrait.
29:19 You have only 13 days left, Mr. Vane.
29:24 13 days.
29:30 13 days.
29:31 [Music]
29:46 [Music]
30:03 I've been waiting over an hour for you. Where have you been?
30:07 You're drunk.
30:14 What happened? What's the matter?
30:16 It's all finished.
30:20 Please, make sense.
30:22 Nothing makes sense. Nothing.
30:26 I thought I was imagining things.
30:30 Out of my mind.
30:32 But it's real.
30:34 I wish I were out of my mind!
30:39 Darling.
30:42 What did happen? What's the matter?
30:44 You can't go.
30:47 I said I can't go.
30:52 I heard you.
30:54 And now I'm waiting to know why.
30:56 Something came up.
30:59 You've got to paint a picture.
31:05 I can't help it. I promise.
31:11 You don't believe me.
31:12 It's true.
31:14 Let me show you.
31:17 I've got to redeem this ticket. I've got to paint a masterpiece.
31:20 A masterpiece!
31:23 Look at your hands. You couldn't paint anything.
31:26 How much painting have you done since you've known me?
31:29 I was to be your model, remember?
31:32 Your model. Oh, that's a laugh.
31:35 All right, if you must paint, paint me.
31:40 Let me be your masterpiece.
31:42 No.
31:44 No, I couldn't paint you.
31:47 You don't understand.
31:50 Yes, I do. I understand perfectly well.
31:52 It's all a pack of lies. It's just an excuse. You couldn't paint anyone.
31:55 No, listen to me.
31:57 I'm through listening.
31:59 You'll never leave her, will you?
32:01 Leave who?
32:06 I'm talking about your wife.
32:09 Listen to that. Marie's got nothing to do with it.
32:11 Yes, she has. She's got everything to do with it.
32:13 Who else is there to hold you back?
32:15 Nadja, I love you. I love you.
32:18 Go back to her.
32:22 Go back to that stupid wife of yours.
32:24 Maybe she can help you solve your problems.
32:26 Marie.
32:31 My wife.
32:35 My wife.
32:36 Maybe she can solve my problem.
32:40 Here, let me help you.
33:01 Darling.
33:02 Oh, this old coat.
33:10 After a while on Earth, don't you buy yourself a new one?
33:14 I haven't got time.
33:16 From now on, we're going to be too busy.
33:18 That's why I stayed down at the studio the past few days.
33:21 I wanted to plan everything out.
33:23 I'm going to have to get back to work.
33:25 I'm going to have to get back to work.
33:28 I've been out for a few days.
33:29 I wanted to plan everything very carefully.
33:31 I know. You told me when you called.
33:33 I've missed you.
33:37 Well, cheer up.
33:39 You won't have to miss me any longer.
33:41 From now on, I'll be painting right here at home.
33:44 Is that the surprise you were talking about on the phone?
33:48 Only a part of it.
33:50 I'm going to do a portrait.
33:55 I haven't wanted to do portraits for years.
33:57 I know.
34:00 But this is going to be my masterpiece.
34:02 You'll see.
34:04 Have you chosen a model?
34:10 Yes.
34:13 You.
34:16 You're going to paint my portrait?
34:20 Believe me, for the picture I have in mind,
34:24 I wouldn't paint anyone but you.
34:26 I'm going to paint you.

36:07 Darling, you finished.
36:11 I think I got what I wanted.
36:13 Now I've never spent a happier ten days in all my life.
36:19 Ten days?
36:21 Today is April 3rd.
36:23 That's right, it is.
36:26 April 3rd.
36:30 When are you going to tell me?
36:32 Tell you what?
36:34 Who you painted the picture for and why you had to finish it in such a hurry.
36:38 You'll find out very soon.
36:40 Promise?
36:43 I promise.
36:44 Here.
36:51 What's that for?
36:54 Models fees.
36:55 Oh darling, no.
36:57 Now please, I want you to have it.
36:59 You've been cooped up here day after day under such a strain.
37:03 I want you to run downtown and buy something pretty, anything you'd like.
37:07 But Hector, I don't need...
37:08 Now you heard what I said. Run along.
37:10 Please?
37:11 Darling, you're so good to me.
37:16 Darling, you're so good to me.
37:32 I knew you wouldn't run off to Mexico without me.
37:35 The painting's finished.
37:38 Where's your wife?
37:48 I sent her off shopping.
37:52 I wanted you to see the picture, so you'd know I was telling the truth.
37:56 Come on.
37:59 What do you think?
38:00 It's the best thing I've done, isn't it?
38:06 Look at the coloring.
38:07 The light.
38:08 So that's it.
38:11 What's wrong?
38:12 You painted her.
38:14 Of course, I had to.
38:16 What do you mean you had to?
38:18 You'd never paint me, would you?
38:20 You painted her because you love her.
38:23 You've always loved her.
38:25 That's not true.
38:26 This is the truth.
38:28 This portrait.
38:30 I can see what went into it.
38:32 All the love, all the feeling.
38:34 You don't understand.
38:35 That's my masterpiece.
38:37 Masterpiece!
38:39 I hate her! I hate her! I hate her! I hate her!
38:45 I hate her! I hate her! I hate her! I hate her! I hate her!
38:50 I hate her! I hate her! I hate her!
39:19 Hello?
39:20 Just a reminder, Mr. Vane.
39:23 You have 48 hours left.
39:27 48 hours.
39:29 What can I do?
39:38 What can I do?
39:43 What can I do?
40:11 Darling? Darling, are you all right?
40:15 Come in.
40:20 You were asleep. I'm sorry.
40:27 It's all right, darling.
40:29 The painting's all finished.
40:32 May I look now?
40:33 Don't touch it.
40:35 Hector, please tell me what this is all about.
40:39 You've been locked in here for two days and two nights, painting steadily.
40:43 I've been so worried.
40:44 You won't have to worry any longer.
40:47 We're going to be all right.
40:50 Yes, of course we are.
40:52 But can't you explain?
40:54 What time is it?
40:56 A little after three.
40:58 Three o'clock.
41:08 April 5th.
41:10 All right, Marie.
41:22 You're entitled to know everything.
41:25 I'll tell you the whole story this evening.
41:28 This evening?
41:29 After sundown.
41:32 Come on.
41:34 You trust me, don't you, darling?
41:42 Of course. I always have.
41:44 Then wait.
41:46 In a few hours, I'll be free.
41:48 We'll both be free.
41:50 We...
41:51 How would you like to take a trip?
41:56 Just the two of us.
41:58 You mean a vacation?
42:00 Yes.
42:01 Could we go to Mexico?
42:05 No. No.
42:07 Not Mexico.
42:09 Suppose we flew to Paris.
42:13 Paris.
42:15 You really mean it?
42:17 It's spring, isn't it?
42:19 Oh, how wonderful.
42:21 Darling, why don't you rest a while,
42:25 and I'll go out right now and make all the arrangements.
42:29 All right.
42:31 [door opens]
42:33 [door closes]
42:43 [door closes]
42:45 [knocking]
43:05 Hector, darling, wake up.
43:10 Huh?
43:12 It's all right. I'm awake.
43:15 What time is it?
43:17 Quarter to six.
43:19 Quarter of six.
43:22 Yes, I just got back.
43:24 I've made all the arrangements,
43:26 and I've bought some wonderful things.
43:29 What's the matter?
43:31 I have to go out. I've got an appointment.
43:33 What appointment?
43:34 I must deliver this new painting.
43:36 It's very urgent. I can't afford to be late.
43:38 Darling, you have a visitor.
43:40 He was waiting at the door when I came in just now.
43:43 Strange man. Says he has business with you.
43:46 Strange man?
43:49 Where is he?
43:51 I invited him in to wait.
43:53 Is something the matter?
43:58 No.
44:03 It's all right.
44:06 Tell him to come in.
44:08 In here?
44:10 Yes.
44:12 Good evening, Mr. Vang.
44:16 It is evening, you know.
44:19 I'm sorry. I was detained.
44:21 I accept your apology.
44:23 You know why I'm here.
44:26 Is it ready?
44:34 Yes.
44:36 Excellent.
44:38 And may I see it?
44:40 You may.
44:42 Over here.
44:44 See for yourself.
45:02 What trickery is this?
45:04 You asked for the portrait of any living person.
45:07 Anyone.
45:09 You said, "Give me my portrait."
45:11 Well, there it is.
45:13 Your portrait.
45:15 You can't cheat me.
45:18 I'm not cheating you.
45:20 Don't deny that I painted your soul.
45:22 I'll kick the slurring out of the canvas at you.
45:24 Take your hideous soul and get out of here.
45:30 I have given the devil his due.
45:32 I never believed it possible that a mortal should trick me thus.
45:38 Then you admit it.
45:40 Yes, I do.
45:42 You thought you had me, didn't you?
45:44 You thought I'd sell my soul and that of my wife, didn't you?
45:48 All you did was bring the two of us together again.
45:51 What are you waiting for?
45:57 Here's your portrait.
45:59 Take it and get out.
46:01 Oh, uh...
46:03 Just one thing.
46:05 I must ask you to return my pawn ticket.
46:09 Of course.
46:11 Marie.
46:13 Get my overcoat, will you, please?
46:15 It's in the closet.
46:16 I know.
46:18 You sent Darja to me, didn't you?
46:28 Yes.
46:30 Women are often my allies.
46:32 I thought so.
46:34 But it didn't work.
46:36 See, I discovered something.
46:38 I love Marie just as much as she loves me.
46:41 A woman's love is damnation.
46:45 No, this time it's salvation.
46:49 Here you are.
46:52 I didn't want to spend all our money on me.
46:55 I wanted you to have something new for our trip, too, so...
46:58 I finally got rid of that old overcoat.
47:01 Marie, where is it?
47:03 It was so shabby.
47:06 What did you do with that old coat?
47:09 I burned it.
47:13 You burned it?
47:17 (laughing)
47:19 All you women were often my allies.
47:32 Your coat is gone, and the ticket is gone, too.
47:40 And only the ticket redeems you from me.
47:44 You've done your part.
47:46 You burned it.
47:48 And now it's his turn to burn.
47:51 Dick!
47:53 Open the door!
47:56 Open the door!
47:59 Damnation, Mr. Vane!
48:02 Let me in! Let me in!
48:05 Open the door!
48:07 Open the door!
48:09 Open the door!
48:11 Open the door!
48:13 Open the door!
48:15 Open the door!
