00:04:17A STRANGE
00:04:18REQUEST.

00:05:00THE END
00:05:02SIR
00:05:04Well, if we may go now.
00:05:11This way, sir.
00:05:34What is the meaning of this?
00:05:51I... this is Mr. Winthrop, sir.
00:05:56How dare you admit anyone into this house?
00:05:59I insisted, sir. I felt I had the right.
00:06:03Well, we can't talk out here. Please come in.
00:06:17I gather you know who I am, sir.
00:06:19If you please, Mr. Winthrop.
00:06:22Softly.
00:06:25An affliction of the hearing.
00:06:28Sounds of any exaggerated degree cut into my brain like knives.
00:06:34My apologies.
00:06:40I'm afraid you're going to have to leave, Mr. Winthrop.
00:06:44I've come to see Madeline.
00:06:47That is quite impossible.
00:06:49She is confined to her bed.
00:06:52Mr. Usher, your sister and I are betrothed.
00:06:56It was a mistake.
00:06:58I don't believe that.
00:06:59Please don't argue with me, sir.
00:07:03You must leave this house now.
00:07:05It is not a healthy place for you to be.
00:07:09Mr. Usher, I...
00:07:14I have ridden all the way from Boston to see Madeline.
00:07:18And I do not intend to leave without seeing her.
00:07:20Now, if...
00:07:21Philip.
00:07:24Madeline.
00:07:28Madeline, in heaven's name, you must return to your bed.
00:07:31Madeline.
00:07:34You came all the way just to see me.
00:07:38Yes, to see you.
00:07:40Madeline, I must insist.
00:07:42We shall talk later, Philip.
00:07:44Mr. Winthrop is leaving.
00:07:46Leaving?
00:07:48I'm not leaving.
00:07:51He must stay, Roderick.
00:07:54Please let him stay, Roderick.
00:07:58Very well, he will stay.
00:08:00Now, for pity's sake, return to your bed.
00:08:02Now, for pity's sake, return to your bed.
00:08:30What happened?
00:08:40I think your fireplace needs a screen.
00:08:46Does it?
00:08:48I was just admiring this painting here.
00:08:51Is it your own work?
00:08:53It is.
00:08:55And you also play this lute?
00:08:59I do.
00:09:03Mr. Winthrop, are you actually planning to marry my sister?
00:09:08Mr. Usher, during the time that we spent together in Boston, it never occurred to me that...
00:09:13and I dare say to Madeline either, that we were not destined for each other.
00:09:20When she left me, she said to me, I will love you forever.
00:09:25Does it seem so incredible, then, that I would want to marry her?
00:09:28If you only knew how incredible.
00:09:34And I suppose this...
00:09:36this vision includes children?
00:09:39God willing.
00:09:41God willing.
00:09:43If you knew the nightmare you were picturing for me, sir...
00:09:46Nightmare?
00:09:47That is what I said.
00:09:49Why shouldn't Madeline marry and have children?
00:09:54Because the Usher line is tainted, Mr. Winthrop.
00:09:58Tainted, sir?
00:10:00You saw Madeline and you see me.
00:10:02We are dying, Mr. Winthrop.
00:10:05As you saw her today, she is and will remain.
00:10:13Believe me, sir, I bear you no malice.
00:10:15For things otherwise, I should welcome you into our family joyously.
00:10:20But under the circumstances, it is quite impossible.
00:10:25Why do you assume that... that you are dying?
00:10:29There are many reasons.
00:10:32Pray give me one, then.
00:10:38Madeline and I are like figures of fine glass.
00:10:41The slightest touch and we may shatter.
00:10:46Both of us suffer from a morbid acuteness of the senses.
00:10:50Mine is the worse for having existed the longer,
00:10:54but both of us are afflicted with it.
00:10:56Any sort of food more exotic than the most pallid mash
00:11:01is unendurable to my taste buds.
00:11:04Any sort of garment other than the softest
00:11:07is agony to my flesh.
00:11:08My eyes are tormented by all but the faintest illumination.
00:11:14Oders assail me constantly.
00:11:18And as I've said, sounds of any degree whatsoever inspire me with terror.
00:11:24That's why your servant asked me to remove my boots.
00:11:28Yes.
00:11:30And even so, I could hear you coming.
00:11:33Every footstep, every rustle of your clothes.
00:11:36I could hear your horse approaching.
00:11:39Hear the clatter of its hooves across the courtyard, your knock.
00:11:42The grating of the door bolt was like a sword stroke to my ears.
00:11:50I can hear the scratch of rat claws within the stone wall.
00:11:55Mr. Winthrop, three-quarters of my family have fallen into madness.
00:12:03And in their madness have acquired a superhuman strength
00:12:08so that it took the power of many to subdue them.
00:12:12Do you not exaggerate, sir?
00:12:17Perhaps there have been in your family certain peculiarities of temperament.
00:12:23Peculiarities of temperament?
00:12:28How diplomatically you put it.
00:12:32Peculiarities of temperament.
00:12:41Would you permit me to light a candle so that...
00:12:44I think you had better leave, Mr. Winthrop.
00:12:46I think you need some light in this house, Mr. Usher.
00:12:53I think I'm all tooッ.
00:12:54I think I'm all too.
00:12:56I think I'm all too bad.
00:12:58I think I'm all too, Pile in this house.
00:12:59I know I am!
00:13:01I think I'm all too, Pile in this house.
00:13:05To pale drops of fire,
00:13:07... guttering in the vast, consuming darkness.
00:13:10drops of fire, guttering in the vast, consuming darkness. My sister and myself,
00:13:20shortly they will burn no more. She cannot leave this house, Mr. Winthrop.
00:13:28Believe that or not, as you will, but she cannot leave it for her own sake as well
00:13:34as yours. Will you leave now, please? No, I will not.
00:13:42Very well. Bristol will show you to a room.
00:13:52I have warned you, sir.
00:13:55Whatever consequences may follow your refusal to leave are upon you alone.
00:14:04I will not.
00:14:06I am terrified of my witnesses.
00:14:08Do me?
00:14:09I am very scared.
00:14:10I am stunned by the side of your mind, as a force of anger,
00:14:13who you will be able to satisfy fall if you're in the body,
00:14:14with my mother and her heart.
00:14:15I am sorry, I am sorry.
00:14:16But I cannot go away.
00:14:18You may have lost in the body.
00:14:19I am sorry.
00:14:20Let's see.
00:14:21I am sorry.
00:14:22You may be starving.
00:14:23I am sorry.
00:14:24I am sorry.
00:14:25I am sorry.
00:14:27I am sorry.
00:14:28I am sorry.
00:14:29You may be native to you.
00:14:31What can I do?
00:14:32Yes?
00:14:47Supper, Mr. Winthrop.
00:14:49I'll be down directly.
00:14:51Very good, sir.
00:15:02I'll be right back.
00:15:32I'll be right back.
00:16:03What is that noise?
00:16:04What happened?
00:16:07Is it Mr. Winthrop?
00:16:09Philip!
00:16:14I'm all right, Madeline.
00:16:15What happened?
00:16:17I'm not sure.
00:16:18Philip, you'd better leave this place.
00:16:20Please leave.
00:16:21It isn't safe for you.
00:16:22Darling, I'm all right.
00:16:32I'm not leaving you, Madeline.
00:16:43Mr. Winthrop?
00:16:45No, thank you.
00:16:48My dear.
00:16:54You haven't touched a thing, Madeline.
00:16:56Don't you think that crack in the wall should be repaired?
00:17:07For future generations of ushers.
00:17:13For Madeline's safety.
00:17:18It was probably the trembling of the house which caused that chandelier to fall.
00:17:22Well, do you really think so?
00:17:28Have you a better explanation?
00:17:29While I was riding here, I noticed a singular lack of vegetation in the area.
00:17:41Is there something wrong with the soil?
00:17:44Well, the soil.
00:17:45The soil.
00:17:47Yes, of course.
00:17:49Roderick, please.
00:17:51As you will.
00:17:56How do things go in Boston, Philip?
00:17:58Everyone asks for you.
00:18:00Oh, do they?
00:18:02They miss you, Madeline.
00:18:05We all miss you.
00:18:07We all miss you.
00:19:01Remarkable.
00:19:01And you composed it yourself?
00:19:06Yes.
00:19:07May we have another?
00:19:09I'm afraid Madeline must retire now.
00:19:12But I'm not tired.
00:19:19Very well.
00:19:24Good night, brother.
00:19:26Good night, my dear.
00:19:34Good night, Philip.
00:19:37Good night.
00:19:43I suggest we retire too, Mr. Winthrop.
00:19:48Gladly.
00:19:50I trust that you will be prepared to leave tomorrow morning.
00:19:53If you wish.
00:19:55But if I do,
00:19:57I won't be alone.
00:20:00I intend to see that...
00:20:07Well, what?
00:20:08Well, the man...
00:20:10Well, she said...
00:20:13The sun is here for a little to see.
00:20:15To see.
00:20:17The sun is coming from the sky.
00:20:19It's all about to see you and God.
00:20:20It's all about to see you.
00:20:21What?
00:20:22Oh, Philip.
00:20:38Oh, darling, darling.
00:20:43I'm sorry I frightened you.
00:20:46I didn't want to knock for fear your brother would hear.
00:20:52Oh, Philip, I've missed you.
00:21:04Oh, I love you.
00:21:06Madeleine, I swear to you,
00:21:09tomorrow you leave this place with me.
00:21:13If only I could.
00:21:14You will. You will.
00:21:17I don't understand.
00:21:19Lord, may you never see him at the heart of this horrible house.
00:21:25Darling, once you're with me, you'll wake up from this nightmare.
00:21:31Good night, sir.
00:21:36Mr. Usher, perhaps you fail to understand.
00:21:39Good night, sir.
00:21:40You cannot order my life, Roderick.
00:21:43Is it so easy for you to forget, Madeleine?
00:21:47My life is my own.
00:21:48Is it?
00:21:50Yes.
00:21:53I think that...
00:21:54Is it, Madeleine?
00:21:55Do you hate me so much you want to keep me a prisoner here?
00:22:01Hate you.
00:22:03Oh, my dear, hate you.
00:22:06Don't you know that I love you more than anything in the world?
00:22:12Can't you see it's my love for you makes me act as I do?
00:22:16You cannot leave here, Madeleine.
00:22:19You know what would happen if you did.
00:22:21You know that.
00:22:22I only know what you told me.
00:22:24Oh, my dear.
00:22:26Do not delude yourself.
00:22:28I beg of you, do not delude yourself.
00:22:34Sir...
00:22:34I shall stay with her.
00:22:37In the name of God, sir, would you not understand?
00:22:40Leave my sister be here.
00:22:43Mr. Usher, I mean to take her from this house tomorrow.
00:22:46I will not argue with you.
00:22:47Would you leave, please?
00:22:52It will be all right, Madeleine.
00:23:04I will be saved.
00:23:26Madeleine?
00:23:56Madeleine?
00:24:26Let's go.
00:24:56Let's go.
00:25:26Let's go.
00:25:56Let's go.
00:26:26Let's go.
00:26:56Let's go.
00:27:26Let's go.
00:27:56She walks in her sleep, sir.
00:28:00And then she comes here?
00:28:03She's obsessed by thoughts of death.
00:28:07Poor child.
00:28:07How long has she been doing this?
00:28:09Ever since her return from Boston, sir.
00:28:14I'll just take her to her room.
00:28:17No, I'll...
00:28:18No, no.
00:28:19You might awaken her, sir.
00:28:22Better let be.
00:28:23I've done it.
00:28:27I've done it before.
00:28:31I've done it before.
00:28:32I've done it before.
00:28:35Good morning, Bristol.
00:29:03Good morning, sir.
00:29:06Has Miss Madeline had her breakfast yet?
00:29:08Oh, no, sir.
00:29:10Good. Then I'd like to take a breakfast tray to her.
00:29:13Very well, sir.
00:29:14Of course, she doesn't eat much, usually.
00:29:18Well, then we'll see to it that she does eat.
00:29:20Yes.
00:29:22All right, let's see what we have here.
00:29:23Bread, that's good.
00:29:25Um, milk, a little fruit.
00:29:27Oh, I'll take it to her, sir.
00:29:29No, I'll do it.
00:29:30Yes.
00:29:31Oh, how about some eggs?
00:29:33Oh, sir, I think perhaps a little gruel.
00:29:36It's the most that she's ever eaten in the morning.
00:29:39Gruel?
00:29:41Yes, sir.
00:29:41Oh, yes, sir, her sense of taste.
00:29:47Well, all right, then.
00:29:48A hot gruel for both of us.
00:29:51Yes, sir.
00:29:51How long have you been with the ushers, Bristol?
00:30:01Sixty years, sir.
00:30:04Sixty years?
00:30:05Ever since I was a boy.
00:30:09Why, then, this is as much your house as it is Mr. Roderick's.
00:30:13And Miss Madeline, sir.
00:30:15Not after today.
00:30:19I'm taking her to Boston with me.
00:30:23I see.
00:30:38How long has that been going on?
00:30:40So long, I'm hardly aware of it anymore.
00:30:44It's just the settling of the house.
00:30:46That settling can cause this entire structure to collapse.
00:30:49And that doesn't worry you?
00:30:51Oh, no, sir.
00:30:52If the house dies, I shall die with it.
00:30:55Oh, be careful, sir.
00:30:57It's about to hit you.
00:30:59It can cause a nasty burn.
00:31:02It's that fissure that causes the entire house to shake.
00:31:07Yes, sir.
00:31:08Who is it?
00:31:26Your breakfast, Miss Usher.
00:31:29Hot gruel and...
00:31:31Hot gruel.
00:31:32It's so dark in here, I can barely see you.
00:31:42There.
00:31:45No sunlight.
00:31:47There'll be sunlight where we live.
00:31:51Oh.
00:31:55Good morning.
00:31:56Good morning.
00:32:00Good morning.
00:32:02If he comes in now, don't be afraid.
00:32:05He won't come in.
00:32:06He has to take drugs to sleep.
00:32:09Oh, I'm sorry.
00:32:12Well, now.
00:32:15To fill you with hot gruel and good cheer.
00:32:20You're so sweet to me.
00:32:21I have nothing too good for the future Mrs. Winthrop.
00:32:24Mrs. Winthrop.
00:32:25Open your mouth.
00:32:31I'm not hungry.
00:32:33Madeline, I'll have no scrawny woman in my home now.
00:32:35Open your mouth.
00:32:36Come on.
00:32:43Madeline, get ready to leave.
00:32:45I want to, Philip.
00:32:47Then you will.
00:32:49I can't.
00:32:50Why?
00:32:53Because very soon I shall be dead.
00:32:56I forbid you to say that ever again.
00:32:59It's true, Philip.
00:33:00It is not true, Madeline.
00:33:01You're full of life.
00:33:04Look at me, Philip.
00:33:06Do I look full of life?
00:33:10I remember you as you were in Boston.
00:33:13Do you remember?
00:33:14You were exuberant.
00:33:16You were filled with the joy of living.
00:33:20That's how you'll be again when you leave here and become my wife.
00:33:24I wish you could understand.
00:33:27Then let me understand, Madeline.
00:33:29Let me so that I can help you.
00:33:33Perhaps you'll feel differently after you've seen.
00:33:36I wish you could understand.
00:33:43Where are we going?
00:34:02You'll see.
00:34:04Careful, Dom.
00:34:34You don't want to go in there.
00:34:38I want you to see.
00:34:54Put your weight against it.
00:35:04It's the lack of air in here.
00:35:30It's the air itself.
00:35:32Nothing can survive it long.
00:35:43My great-grandfather.
00:35:50His wife.
00:35:51My grandfather.
00:36:04My grandfather.
00:36:04My grandmother
00:36:22My father
00:36:34This is monstrous. Whose idea was this? Your dear brothers? There's one for him too. Does that absolve him?
00:37:04It waits for me. No, it does not.
00:37:11They all wait for me.
00:37:16Madeline, Madeline, you must stop this. Can't you see what you're doing to yourself?
00:37:25You don't understand. I understand, but you must leave the dead to themselves. Oh, Madeline, come away with me now.
00:37:34What have you done? Give her to me.
00:37:41What have you done? Give her to me.
00:37:48Give her to me.
00:37:50Give her to me.
00:37:55Give her to me.
00:37:56Give her to me.
00:37:57Give her to me.
00:37:58Give her to me.
00:38:02Give her to me.
00:38:03Give her to me.
00:38:04Give her to me.
00:38:05Give her to me.
00:38:09Give her to me.
00:38:16Thank you. See to the crypt, will you?
00:38:18Yes, sir.
00:38:19Well, are you content now, Mr. Winthrop?
00:38:25It is not I who force her to live in a cemetery. Do you think that I wish her harm?
00:38:32I think you still do not understand. And I think it's time that you did.
00:38:39The town is very deep.
00:38:44Well, are you content now, Mr. Winthrop?
00:38:48It is not I who forced her to live in a cemetery.
00:38:52Do you think that I wish her harm?
00:38:55I think you still do not understand.
00:38:59And I think it's time that you did.
00:39:06The tarn is very deep.
00:39:09One of the Usher women drowned herself in it.
00:39:12She was never found.
00:39:14I dare say it's deep enough to swallow this house entire.
00:39:19I'm waiting, Mr. Usher.
00:39:21Last night you asked me about the singular aridity of the land around this house.
00:39:30Once this land was fertile.
00:39:33Farms abounded.
00:39:34Earth yielded her riches at harvest time.
00:39:37There were trees and plant life.
00:39:40Flowers.
00:39:41Fields of grain.
00:39:42There was great beauty here.
00:39:46At that time, this water was clear and fresh.
00:39:50Swans glided upon its crystal surface.
00:39:54Animals came to its bank, trustingly, to drink.
00:39:58But this was long before my time.
00:40:05Why do you tell me these things?
00:40:08And then something crept across the land and blighted it.
00:40:12The trees lost their foliage.
00:40:16The flowers languished and died.
00:40:20The shrubs grew brown and shriveled.
00:40:24The grain fields perished.
00:40:28And the lakes and ponds became black and stagnant.
00:40:33And the land withered as before a plague.
00:40:40Plague?
00:40:42Yes, Mr. Winthrop.
00:40:45A plague of evil.
00:40:48Anthony Usher.
00:40:50Thief.
00:40:52Usurer.
00:40:55Merchant of flesh.
00:40:56Bernard Usher.
00:41:02Swindler.
00:41:04Forger.
00:41:06Jewel thief.
00:41:08Drug addict.
00:41:08Francis Usher.
00:41:13Professional assassin.
00:41:20Vivian Usher.
00:41:22Blackmailer.
00:41:24Harlot.
00:41:26Murderess.
00:41:28She died in the madhouse.
00:41:32Captain David Usher.
00:41:35Smuttler.
00:41:36Slave trader.
00:41:37Mass murderer.
00:41:41Mr. Usher.
00:41:43I don't see that this has anything to do with Madeline and myself.
00:41:47I don't believe in the sins of the fathers being visited upon the children.
00:41:56You do not, sir?
00:41:59The house of Usher seems to you then normal?
00:42:03The house, sir, is neither normal nor abnormal.
00:42:06It is only a house.
00:42:09You are very wrong, Mr. Winthrop.
00:42:12This house is centuries old.
00:42:13It was brought here from England.
00:42:15And with it, every evil rooted in its stones.
00:42:19You really believe this?
00:42:23Evil is not just a word.
00:42:25It is a reality.
00:42:26It is a reality.
00:42:27It is a reality.
00:42:27It is a reality.
00:42:28Like any living thing, it can be created and was created by these people.
00:42:32The history of the ushers is a history of savage degradations.
00:42:42First in England, then in New England.
00:42:44And always in this house, always in this house, the pall of evil which fills it is no illusion.
00:42:55For hundreds of years, foul thoughts and foul deeds have been committed within its walls.
00:43:01The house itself is evil now.
00:43:05No, I cannot believe this.
00:43:09But you must.
00:43:11For Madeline's sake, you must.
00:43:14Most of all, does this evil reside in her.
00:43:18And this is your dreadful secret?
00:43:20Mr. Winthrop, do you think those coals jumping from the fire onto you were an accident?
00:43:29Do you think that chandelier falling was an accident?
00:43:32Do you think that falling casket was an accident?
00:43:35Are you trying to tell me that the house made those things happen?
00:43:38Yes.
00:43:40Oh, no, sir.
00:43:41That's ridiculous.
00:43:45But even if it were true, even if this house were full of evil,
00:43:48Madeline is not.
00:43:51Nor for all of your talk are you.
00:43:54You cannot take my sister out of this house.
00:43:58If she were to wed and bear children,
00:44:00the usher evil would spread in you, malignant cancers.
00:44:03You are mad.
00:44:04I will not listen to you.
00:44:05She will.
00:44:06No, I will not.
00:44:08I'll tell you what's evil in this house, sir.
00:44:10You.
00:44:11I will not let your sickened fancies destroy Madeline's life.
00:44:18She leaves with me today.
00:44:31Who is it?
00:44:34We're leaving.
00:44:36Now.
00:44:37Philip.
00:44:38Madeline, you have no other choice.
00:44:40If you remain here, this house will destroy you.
00:44:42Then you know.
00:44:46I know that your brother has poisoned you with his absurdities.
00:44:50This entire atmosphere of sickness and dissolution is his doing.
00:44:58Oh, Madeline, believe me, there's nothing wrong with you
00:45:00that leaving this house won't cure.
00:45:03Do you love me?
00:45:08No, I do.
00:45:09Then leave with me now.
00:45:13I will.
00:45:22All right, pack just a few belongings.
00:45:24I'll get my things ready.
00:45:25How'll we go?
00:45:26You'll ride with me.
00:45:28Later on, we'll get a coach to Boston.
00:45:31Oh, Philip, can it truly be?
00:45:33Darling, within an hour, within an hour, we'll be away from here.
00:45:36Come on.
00:45:39I love you.
00:45:42I love you.
00:45:44Pack quickly.
00:45:46No, Roderick.
00:46:06No, I will not listen.
00:46:07I've been here long enough.
00:46:08Now, please let me go.
00:46:10I don't care what you say.
00:46:11You can't keep me here.
00:46:12No, no, Roderick.
00:46:15I say you cannot leave.
00:46:16No, I will not listen.
00:46:18Please let me go.
00:46:19There may be no hope for you, but there is for me.
00:46:23I say I will.
00:46:24Madeline.
00:46:24I say please, Madeline.
00:46:26I must leave, Roderick.
00:46:27Please let me.
00:46:28Madeline.
00:46:29I don't care what you say.
00:46:30I told you about it.
00:46:31There's nothing you can say to me, Roderick.
00:46:33I will.
00:46:33Madeline, open the door.
00:46:36Madeline.
00:46:36What have you done to her?
00:46:55Madeline?
00:46:58Madeline?
00:47:03Madeline.
00:47:04Madeline.
00:47:30Madeline.
00:47:31Madeline.
00:47:31Madeline.
00:47:32Madeline.
00:47:33Yes, she's dead.
00:47:44I told you she could never leave this house.
00:47:48What did you do to her?
00:47:49I didn't touch her.
00:47:51You killed her!
00:47:53There is no mark on her.
00:47:56You are the one who killed her.
00:48:02Why?
00:48:02I told you she was not well, and yet you persisted.
00:48:06Her heart could not withstand the strain you put upon it.
00:48:09No.
00:48:13It's no matter now.
00:48:17At least she has been spared the agony of trying to escape.
00:48:20One candle left to burn now.
00:48:41Before the darkness comes.
00:48:51At least...
00:49:10At least she has found peace now.
00:49:24Has she?
00:49:27Why do you say that?
00:49:30Because I do not believe that for the ushers there is peace hereafter.
00:49:36Is there no end to your horrors?
00:49:40No, none whatever, for they are not mine alone.
00:49:47Mere passage from the flesh cannot undo centuries of evil.
00:49:51There can be no peace without penalty.
00:49:55That you wanted her to die?
00:49:58Wanted, yes!
00:50:02I did not wish her death.
00:50:05I only knew it was inevitable as my death is inevitable.
00:50:10Our blight must be removed from this earth.
00:50:15What lies beyond is something else again.
00:50:18Must you close it now?
00:50:37She must take her place below with the rest of the ushers.
00:50:40One last look.
00:50:49I cannot bear to look at her.
00:50:51I'll carry her with you.
00:51:02Bristol and I can manage.
00:51:04I would rather if you don't mind.
00:51:09I'll carry her.
00:51:10to your love.
00:51:12That you are all.
00:51:15You are.
00:51:15All right.
00:51:27All right.
00:51:28We'll take our guest.

00:54:38Not at all.
00:54:39Miss Madeline was not well.
00:54:41Her brother thinks I killed her.

01:04:52The old house crumbles.
01:04:56Perhaps this storm will finish it.
01:04:58You have murdered your sister, Miss Drasher, and I intend to see that you hang for it.
01:05:07Do you?
01:05:09Arrange it quickly, then.
01:05:11If only I could kill you.
01:05:13If only I could kill you myself.
01:05:15Yes, if only you could.
01:05:17Yes.
01:05:18Why did you do it?
01:05:26I told you, I told you, I told you, you will never understand, to so logical a mind as yours, I have committed a murder.
01:05:38If you only knew the agonies, if you knew the agonies, if you only knew the agonies I have endured in your behalf, did you know that I could hear every sound she made?
01:05:51You know that I could hear every sound she made, that I heard her breathing in her casket, heard her first gasp as she awoke, her first scream of terror.
01:06:05Did you know that I could hear the scratching of her fingernails on the casket lid?
01:06:20You are mad.
01:06:25Be done!
01:06:27What?
01:06:28Nothing, I rave.
01:06:30You said be done.
01:06:31What did you mean?
01:06:33Nothing.

01:06:38No.
01:06:40Is she?
01:06:41Is she?
01:06:42Yes!
01:06:43Yes, even now I hear her.
01:06:47Yes.
01:06:49Alive.
01:06:51Deranged.
01:06:52Infurried.
01:06:53Can you not hear her voice?
01:06:56Where?
01:06:57In the name of God, where?
01:07:00Below.
01:07:02Twisting.
01:07:03Turning.
01:07:05Scratching at the lid with bloody fingernails.
01:07:08Staring.
01:07:09Screaming.
01:07:10Wild with fury.
01:07:11The strength of madness in her.
01:07:13Can you not hear her voice?
01:07:15She calls my name.
01:07:18Roderick.
01:07:19Roderick.

01:07:53Don't go down there.
01:07:56Let her die.
01:08:21She has the madness.
01:08:42The madness.
01:08:43Ah!
01:08:52Ah!
01:08:53THE END
