"Is that the castle?" "Yes, that's Dragonstone." "It doesn't look like I remembered it." "Less gloomy, perhaps..." "When I came here I was still a child." "Home of the family MacGrieff!" "Crossing yourself?" "Why?" "Don't mind me." "Just an old local custom." " This way." " Let me help you!" "Oh, don't, I'm used to stairs." " I restock the pantry twice a week." " Really?" "Believe me, Alicia, I wouldn't keep asking for money if I wasn't in need." "If you'd sell the castle and move to London, you and James could live well." "I'd rather drop dead!" "Mary, you can't go on like this!" ""The ancestors' house"..." "You insist on living like it's the past century, without comforts, in what is not a house anymore, but rather a hovel!" "A hovel, not at all." "And why keep coming here to spend your holidays, if you despise it so much?" "I can leave this moment, if you prefer." "I apologize." "I didn't mean to offend you." "However, I can't help you." "Corringa will get my husband's inheritance." "I only manage the money to provide for her." "Listen to me, Mary." "It's for your own good." "Sell everything and move to London." "James would benefit from it too." "Living here, secluded from the world, won't help him get any better." "Here." " Hello." " Good evening." "Lady Alicia..." " Corringa!" " Morn!" "Corringa!" "Dear, I thought you were coming at the end of the month!" "I was about to write you but i wanted to make it a surprise!" "They are doing some works at the school and decided to close it earlier." "Aunt Mary!" "We are happy to have you here, my dear." "Don't worry, we'll surely find a room for you, even if you arrived without notice." "Campbell!" "Is the guestroom in order?" "Yes, milady." "Follow me, dear." "Your mother will show you to your room." "You can freshen up a little." " Oh, yes." " We dine at eight, be on time!" "If I'd known you were coming, I'd have picked you up." "Where did you find a oar?" "Angus was at the station." "He gave me a lift with his carriage." "New guests?" "Yes." "Corringa." "What's the matter?" "You seem strange." "Is anything wrong?" "I spoke to Alicia." "She's unable to help me." "Or, rather, she doesn't want to." "You know how she hates dragonstone." "It's just absurd to be so back-minded in our age." "After this last argument with your aunt, I've decided to leave." "In a couple of days," "so it won't appear like I'm making a run for it." "Good evening." "Lady Mary told me about you." "Do you need anything?" "Corringa, this is Suzanne." "She teaches French to..." "Well, I'll leave you two alone." "Don't be late for dinner." "Mom's always been so formal with introductions." "Just call me Corringa." "Thanks." "Who do you teach French to?" "James, your cousin." "James!" "I almost forgot about him!" " Does he know I'm here?" " I don't think so." "He lives on his own." "Why do you talk about him like that?" "James is sick." "His health is not a secret, but I'd rather have the others talk about it." "What is this?" "Oh, leave it!" "I was supposed to use it to take a bath." "The nuns feared our own nudity would have led us to sin." "And, between us, I've been expelled from the school." "Expelled?" "One night we went into town for a party with some schoolboys." "Once back the mother superior was waiting for us." "They determined I was the only culprit, and kicked me out at once." "I hopped on the first train and came here, hoping to tell a few lies to my mother and have a little vacation!" "But there's such a gloomy air here it looks like there's a funeral going on." "Maybe it wasn't worth it to get kicked out of there." "What will you do with your mother?" "She won't know nothing until we're back to London." "I won't think about it until then." "Into the fire they go!" "What are you doing?" "Too much culture has never done much good to a woman, and I'm personally taking care of that risk." "I'm starting to think that you might be a bit.." "Nutty." "Perhaps, you're right." "The Bible!" "It was among those books!" "Don't be crazy, you'll get burned!" "This will be your church, reverend robertson." "It's the castle chapel." "It might not look like much, but you must consider what this task means to us," " the catholic church." " Right." "Is anything wrong?" "No, I just thought you were older." "I do feel old, father." "I was aware of what I'd have found here, and I also know the history of the family, their past history, above all." "The macgrieffs were strenuous defenders of faith, like the actual countess." "A little imperious, but she's a good woman." "Our catholic banner in this protestant sea." " It's so dark in here!" " We save on candles." "It's a bit creepy this way." "Look at our family crest, so ugly!" "Don't make your aunt hear that." "Everything related to the castle and the family can't be ugly." "Do you believe that Macgrieff can turn into vampires?" "I believe we'll be late for dinner." "Come on, your aunt really cares about timekeeping." "Everyone is already seated." " Good evening to all!" " Good evening!" "Good heavens!" "Burning a Bible brings adversity!" "It's sacrilegious!" "Sacrilegious?" "Don't say that..." "It's a shame, but I'm sure she didn't do that voluntarily." "No, of course not!" "Don't be afraid, mom, in spite of our dark family legends." "Please, Corringa, don't talk about that." "Oh, auntie, I don't think there's anything bad in it." "What's bad in having some family legends?" "Like the monster on the crest, that's a vampire!" "I forbid you to speak this way." "It wouldn't change anything, that's a vampire!" "That thing is just a chimera." "An ancient, imaginary creature linked with romantic ideas." "Stop it, Corringa." "Please, don't get upset." "You see, father, the legend goes that a macgrieff killed by a relative doesn't die," " but instead turns into a vampire." " Amusing." "Very much so, but some of these legends are fascinating." "In some of them one can even find a strong religious basis." "True, but I'd say pagan religion." "Gods instilling terror over benevolence." "Monsters who terrorized the naive simpletons." "Corringa!" "Welcome at my table!" "But I can't recall having invited you over." "James!" "May I pray you to go back to your room, James?" "Mother, hasn't your priests taught you we can only pray to god?" "Campbell!" "Bring me a drink, at least!" "I'm sorry, James, but I thought you wouldn't have come downstairs." "You think too much, mother!" "Give it to me!" "I hope you'll welcome this toast to your health, as you don't give a damn about mine." "You are Corringa." "Yes, James." "Strange I've never met you before." "We did meet, ten years ago." "I still remember it." "Your little sister was there, too." " James, don't you think..." " You know that I'm not allowed to think!" " James, you..." " Go to hell!" "Fathers, do you reckon they'd accept him in hell?" "James, stop it!" "Show some respect." "Respect for who?" "I didn't invite your guests!" "I can't help but notice your rudeness, James." "Well done, auntie." "Not like it's your business." "No one called you and no one will keep you from leaving." "You don't think what you're just saying." "I do." "Come, Corringa." "Let's leave this place." "You've been very rude." "I regret having met again." " Run after them, mother." " Wait!" "Keep begging to have their pity." "What do you want to save anyway?" "The name you carry." "Our name, James." "If it's a matter of names, Suzanne, you can leave, since you're not part of the family." "Or do you need the doctor's approval?" "I think... perhaps it's better..." "Would you excuse me, please." "What a shame, such a lovely family reunion." "Your taste for ruining things won't help you much, James." "But I've got you, doctor." "My mentor." "My guardian angel." "You see, reverend, I am crazy, and doctor Franz, a scientific genius, left his glorious career to take care of me." "Touching, isn't it?" "Maybe you're just drunk, James!" "What else should I do?" "You won't lock me up because my mother won't allow it." "Her son, a nutter!" "Because I really am crazy, insane, and you can't blame me for seeking my own destruction!" "My son, you won't destroy what god himself created." "I don't reckon you're that insane." "Quite the opposite, I find you strangely coherent, even though I can't agree on everything you say or do." "Good man." "I didn't figure you to be so different from my mom's usual lackeys." "You know, James, that what keeps me here is the respect I feel for lady Mary." "Your words move me deeply, doctor." "Please excuse me, reverend." "Lord macgrieff of said clan takes his leave." "No, please, stay seated." "I only regret not leaving you with adequate company, good night." "An odd human being." "Odd!" "He's just crazy!" "And a dangerous one too, you'll soon realize it." "I won't reveal a secret telling you that he killed, once." "The worst imaginable murder." "He was still a child." "He killed his little sister." "What are you doing here, all alone?" "Here..." "If she moved to London, she could have James seriously treated." "Or have them teach him some manners." "A boy his age can't go around acting like that." "Behaving more like a beast." "Now what?" "Did the comparison offend you?" "I wonder why Mary insists on living in this dump." "I hope you're not the one who insists on staying, with all the mice you can chase here." "Accept it, Mary." "There's no other way." "And you're the one telling me." "Follow her advice." " Sell the castle." " No!" "No." "I will save it." "How?" "And you think it'll be worth it?" "I can't lose dragonstone." "She already said she won't give you one more dime." "Yes, she will..." "Whatever it will take." "No!" "James!" "Come here, kitty!" "Kitty!" "Kitty cat!" "Come here!" "Kitty!" "James!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "Go away!" "It's Corringa!" "She didn't come through the pantry, how did she end up here?" "Let's bring her upstairs." "Alicia won't leave." "She can't." "How can you be so sure?" "I have my good reasons." "I spoke to James." "Corringa is here now, everything will be different from now on." "James liked her, and somehow she will like him." "James and his title." "Everything will work out fine." "I thought long about it." "And you, Franz, you'll stay here with me." "What I'm doing, it's also for you, especially for you." "How did she get down there?" "You think James might be involved?" "Probably one of the tricks he uses to disappear around the castle." "There must be some secret passage." "Quick, go tell her mother." "Where am I?" "Your room, miss." "We found you in the basement." "How did you end up there?" "But I came that way." "There was a passage." "I'm sure of it." "There was a passage." "Please, calm down." "Janet!" "What happened?" "It's lady Alicia!" "Stay with her!" "What happened?" "Talk!" "I thought she was sleeping, it's terrible!" "Poor lady Alicia!" "Don't let anyone enter, especially miss Corringa!" "Mom!" "Mom!" " Let me go!" " Please, don't!" "Let me go, I want to see my mother!" "Please, let me inside!" "Please, calm down, the doctor's with her, i beg you, go back to your room!" "But I must see her!" "Down in the basement I've seen a man and..." "I'll get you back to your room." "Mary!" "Alicia has been murdered!" "What?" "Are you absolutely certain?" "You might not trust my medical credentials, but indeed I am." "Death by asphyxiation." "Certainly murdered by someone who didn't want her to leave the castle." "If you want to point it against me, you're wrong." "However, we must put natural causes on the death certificate." "You think the village doctor will do that?" "No, but you will." "Lord, your servant implores your benevolence, to make you greet the soul of this faithful believer..." "And everyone here who loved her implores you as well." "Let us pray." "In the name of the father, the son, and the holy spirit..." "Amen." "Embrace her in heaven, lord." "You filthy beast!" "No!" "My dear, it's so cold here." "Go back home with Franz and Suzanne." "Please, go." "Campbell, did you see that cat?" "My god, I was so frightened." "It brought the old legend to mind, remember it?" "When a cat follows a coffin during a funeral, the deceased is a vampire." "Stop it!" "You could have avoided that." "Everyone heard." "Angus..." "Yes, milady, I'm locking it." "Lock that cat inside as well." " The cat?" "But..." " Do it!" "I'm sick of hearing tales about the legend!" "Very well." "Do you need anything, miss?" "No, thank you." "James!" "Stop screaming!" "And you, James, stay back!" "Relax now, Corringa!" "He can get very dangerous when he feels scared." "I guess that's why we got the same name." "James." "Calm down, now!" "Let's get in the other room, you'll tell me why you came here, and why you tried to get yourself mangled by James." "It was him, the other night, wasn't he?" "Yes." "Someone left the cage open." "I managed to catch him before he could enter our hall." "Why is he here?" "A circus that happened by years ago owned him." "Come." "I bought him because they were about to put him down." "He mortally wounded a keeper." "They thought he went crazy." "Out of his cage he can be dangerous, but he listens to me." "I guess us crazy ones understand each other." "This is my bedroom, and my studio." "My shelter." "Music and painting are my hobbies." "As you can see, I paint every subject, sacred or profane." "I'm just a terrible amateur, though." " Yes, that's Suzanne." " I'm sorry James, I didn't mean to.." "Suzanne is here because they attempted to heal me through her." "She came in here, trying to seduce me in every way." "Can you imagine it?" "But I never liked her." "But there was something so stupidly perverse in her that I had to paint it." "I don't care, even if she was your lover." "My lover?" "Don't be silly." "It was just a medication administered by doctor Franz." "Franz is a genius, he studied the theories of some guy named Freud, someone who wants to heal souls just the way you heal bodies, as long as a soul is not terminally ill." "Is your soul ill?" "I'll tell you what your illness is." "You are alone, and you're always have been." "That's why you keep on insulting and turning away others." "You're not insane now, but you'll become it." "It's a bunch of nonsense." "Why did you come here anyway?" "What do you want from me?" "James..." "Do you really think my mother died of natural causes?" "Why are you asking me?" "Because I believe you're the only Sincere one here." "I don't know the answer and i don't want to know it." "Why should I know it!" "Go away, Corringa!" "Leave dragonstone and forget your mother!" "Leave!" "You're allowed to!" "James, I want to be your friend." "Leave this place, Corringa!" "Why do you want me to leave?" "You even tried to scare me to make me leave." "What do you mean?" "The basement." "You know about it." "You found my little kingdom." "Don't tell me you liked it." "No, but I've seen that corpse." " What corpse?" " The one down there, eaten by the rats." "They got him there in a trunk." "Who killed him could have killed..." "Your mother!" "Why did you keep this to yourself?" "You could have reported us!" "There's a murderer in this house!" "And you even got evidence to frame him!" "Go to the police!" "I didn't want you to be accused." "Don't show mercy!" "We're murderers!" "Just go there!" "I'll have to!" "I got why you didn't manage nothing with James." "Even the most hot-blooded man in the world would feel lifeless." "Stop it." "Could have done nothing more than undressing and invite him to join." "It's not my fault that he's a nutter." "Want me to try to violate him?" "Too late for that." "What do you mean?" "I mean that he and Corringa have probably gotten acquainted." "And Mary wants to exploit it." "A good development." "A luxury whore like yourself losing to a schoolgirl like her." "That's funny." "You know, I was thinking, that if you asked me to seduce Corringa, I'd do my best to succeed." "She's cute, and naive-looking." "You're dumb and sick." "Why, because I like women?" "Don't you like them too?" "Don't play the high principles card with me, you knew what I did when you found me." "If I came along with you, if I always obeyed to your orders," "it's because despite your superior strut," "I always knew you and I were part of the same breed, doctor." "That will teach you to keep it shut, remember it!" "I'll remember it." "It's quite funny having a great man like you for pimp." "Kitty!" "Come on, get out of there!" "Kitty cat!" "Oh, it's you!" "You frightened me, I thought that..." "When a MacGrieff is murdered by one of his relatives, he doesn't die, but becomes a vampire to avenge his own death." "You are marked now, Corringa." "You can avenge me." "Avenge me!" "Avenge me!" "When a MacGrieff is murdered by one of his relatives, he doesn't die..." "Corringa!" "Corringa!" "Corringa!" "What's the matter?" " It was my mother!" " Please, Corringa, calm down." "What happened?" "The cat came in here, I felt so scared..." "What?" "The cat?" "And why did you mention your mother?" "I'll give you a sedative." "You'll be able to sleep without further nightmares." "Alright?" "You can't be frightened of a cat, you understand me?" "Yes." "Let's go." "Leave her alone." "She needs rest." "What?" "Don't you understand?" "I had the cat locked in the vault." " Alicia's vault?" " Yes!" "Then someone opened it." "But who?" "Now listen, Mary." "If someone pokes around that vault, they'll find out how Alicia really died." "We'll go to the graveyard in the morning." "I don't like this." "Hello, doctor." "I need you... alone." "I apologize, lady Mary." "Lady Mary, would you excuse me, I'll be back in minutes." "Wait here for me." "What is it, inspector?" "A murder, doctor." "A very bad one." "We need you to certify the death." "Remove the sheet." " Who told you?" " An anonymous call." "Do you recognize him?" "It's Angus." "The castle handyman." "No doubt on the death." "Throat slit." "A sharp weapon." "Jugular and carotid both cut." "Who could have wanted him dead?" "That's what will try to find out." "I wonder why he was here last night." "Mary!" "Mary, please don't..." "Please forgive her, inspector." "I told you to wait for me." "I'll get her back to the castle." "Doctor, don't forget about that man's death certificate... and lady Alicia's." "Yes, I have it ready." "You can come by to take it whenever you prefer." "I'll wait for you at the castle." "I'll be there tomorrow morning, and i might need your testimony as well." "Cover him up and wait for the others." "The county judge will be happy, we finally have a case for the front page." "James!" "James!" "Suzanne!" "Where were you?" "I've been looking for you all morning." "I was starting to get worried." "I've been walking, to do some thinking." "We're lucky lady Mary didn't get down for lunch." "What is it?" "I feel troubled." "I understand." "In times like these, you need to be brave, dear." "Did you hear about Angus?" "Hear about what?" "He's been found at the graveyard, at dawn." "His throat was slit." "The corpse will be exhumed!" "They'll know my certificate was fake," "I was wrong to listen to you!" "I shouldn't have signed that paper!" "I wouldn't be in such troubles now!" " Why are you saying that?" " I'm scared, Mary." "I am." "They're gonna open an investigation for the murder." "Nothing to worry about." "Don't forget that my name is still respected by the people here." "I'll meet the inspector tomorrow, and this exhuming won't even be mentioned." "The deaths aren't connected." "First Alicia... and now Angus." "Who killed them, Mary?" "I have no idea, Franz." "But it wasn't James." "But the culprit must have gained something from the murders!" "Or, perhaps, the opposite." "Someone who wants our family to end!" "It's absurd!" "Just absurd!" "Corringa, you're just trying to put what you dreamt into reality." "A dream inspired by the folklore of this part of England." "Believe me, you've just had a nightmare." "I'm sure I've seen my mother!" "But what real proof do you have?" "Some marks on my neck." "I don't think the police would believe that." "I've also got something else to tell them, but the marks are real, father." "Look!" "Good morning." "Good morning, doctor." "How is it going, reverend?" "Corringa, do you feel better?" "Yes, I do." "Farewell, father." "Sorry for having bothered you." "What's the mistery?" "What was she telling you?" "Or was it a confession and you can't tell me?" "No." "But something quite unusual is happening." "We must tell the police." "James!" "James!" "It's just paint." "You thought you had found the murderer." " James, do you know about Angus?" " I'm the one who found him." "I went to your mother's vault, and there he was." "I've also called the police." " We've got two murders now." " It's three!" "My mother's!" "She's been murdered as well!" "Now I'm really sure of it." "Just last night..." " She asked me for revenge in a dream." " Have you become insane?" "Maybe I am, but I'll surely become insane if I don't go there." "I must know the truth." "Maybe she infected my blood!" " And it could be that.." " It could be what?" "That the vampire legend related to the macgrieffs might be true." "So what?" "So the murderer could be my morn, or..." "Or it could be you..." "Am I right?" " No!" " It's me, James!" "James!" "I've been to the vault, my mom's coffin is..." "Empty, I know." "I've been there earlier and I've seen it." "But they freed the orangutan again." "I was about to get him when you came, and..." "I wanted to join you, but I've been knocked out from behind." "Come..." "The orangutan is still loose, he can be dangerous." "Where are you going, Franz?" "Come here." "Close the door." "Stay with me." "I'm scared." "What is it?" "I don't know, but I heard a scream from the garden..." "Or maybe the graveyard." "Did you hear that?" "Yes, I did." "James, I'm scared!" "You've seen with your own eyes my mother's empty coffin!" "What does it mean?" "Why?" "Maybe it proves the legend is true and she's out for revenge." "No, Corringa." "We're pawns of a cruel game." "What sort of game, James?" "It's starting to really drive me insane." "We shall make a pact." "You'll never speak anymore about this, promise?" "And I'll stay by you side." "I'm alone, James." "Alone." "That's how I felt before, Corringa." "I need love, too." "I love you, Corringa." "Why don't you stay here?" "I want to check on Corringa." "Right this moment?" "Corringa!" "Corringa!" "Corringa!" "It's me, aunt Mary." "Please open the door." "Right away, aunt!" "One of your cuff-links." "Corringa!" "Would you please open the door?" "What were you doing locked in here?" " Franz!" " He's not in here." "That's odd." "He told me he wanted to check on you." "Did you see him?" "No, I was sleeping." "I'm sorry, dear." "I'm sorry for waking you up." "Get back to sleep." "Bye." "In the morning, we'll find out if the inspector doubts anything." "He'll get here himself." "The old bag said she'll take care of him." "What should I do?" "You don't know anything." "We got a night for ourselves." "Then, we'll see." "We'd better scram if James or the old bag get the blame." "But no one will ever divide us." "You're more hot-blooded tonight, I wonder why." "What, the smell of blood is turning you on?" "Maybe old Mary also went to your room to see if I'm there." "She kept holding on to me." "She suspects something." "You could have asked her to join in, I'd like to see you in bed with her." " Is she still presentable underneath?" " Enough talking about corpses for today." "What got into you tonight?" "Franz!" "Mary!" "Franz." "Mary!" "Mary!" "Mary, listen to me!" "Where are you?" "Mew" "Mary, listen." "You can't make a scene right now!" "Open up!" "I could make you pay for this." "Everyone will know about Alicia!" "And everyone will know about your daughter!" "I'll tell James, you hear me?" "Open up!" "What are you doing here?" "Leave!" "What is gonna happen now, Franz?" "They'll kick us out." "But Mary will pay for it." "The police is waiting for her sister's death certificate: "Natural causes"..." "But they'll know the truth about Alicia, and about Mary's daughter, too." "The one whose death has always been blamed on James!" "He must know." "I told you to leave, you hear?" "Go!" "What's happening?" "It's my fault." " I've caused a huge trouble." " What trouble?" " Your aunt found me and Franz together." " Let's go to my room." "Can't you imagine what we were doing?" "Can't you imagine what a man and a woman do together?" "The same thing you did with those schoolboys, after fleeing from the nuns." "Or perhaps you preferred playing with your fellow schoolgirls?" "I'll see what I can do to help you, but leave now, please." "Sit next to me." "What's the matter?" "Nothing to be ashamed of." "It's just normal, for such a sensitive, delicate girl." "No!" "Get out." "Stop touching me." "Leave me alone." "James!" "I have something to tell you." "James!" "James!" "We got a night for ourselves." "Then, we'll see." "We'd better scram if James or the old bag get the blame." "But no one will ever divide us." "What, the smell of blood turning you on?" "Maybe old Mary also went to your room to see if I'm there." "She kept holding on to me." "She suspects something." "You could have asked her to join in," "I'd like to see you in bed with her." "Yes?" "It's reverend robertson, milady." "Good morning, milady." "Good morning, reverend." "Thanks for coming." " Please, have a seat." " Thank you." "I see your guests aren't proper early birds..." "I agree, but today that's accounted for." "I reckon the doctor and that girl, Suzanne, won't join us," " and my niece Corringa doesn't feel well." " I see." "The one I'd want to be here is James, my son." "Campbell, go call lord macgrieff." "Tell him I need to see him." "It's not necessary, Campbell," "I already had breakfast." "I'll go call him myself." "I don't want to bother you." "Quite the opposite." "It'll be a pleasure to wake up your "hermit"." "More tea, milady?" "No, thanks." "Lord macgrieff?" "Lord..." "Good morning, reverend." "In the name of god, what does this mean?" "Someone murdered him." " It's a big ape, I thought that..." " What?" "With that sheet, it looked like..." "The body of a human being." "My mother sent you here?" "No, I came by myself, but she'd like to see you." "She's in the living room." "Why did you come yourself?" "What do you want from me?" "What did they want you to check?" "You hoped to find a human corpse under that sheet, in order to find your murderer!" "I've disappointed you, father, but keep in mind that I've killed a person, once!" "What are you talking about?" "You sure know about it, they're forced to tell everyone." "Lord..." "Stop calling me in that ridiculous way, father!" "Get out of here, now!" "Tell my mother I want to be alone." "But don't mention the orangutan, i wouldn't want her to get too saddened." "I don't think lord Macgrieff will come down, for now, at least." " It's not easy talking to that boy." " Don't get upset." "I'm used to carry on without his support." "But the reason I wanted you here is that strange, unbelievable things are happening." " Hello." " Reverend." "Sit down, Corringa." "Do you feel any better?" "Well." "Milady, if you meant what troubled Corringa, I've already noticed the police." "What do you mean?" "It's probably something different." "You couldn't have been aware of this one." "Father, this night I found doctor Franz and Suzanne here, making love." "Absurd, isn't it?" "She's nothing but a prostitute, and you have to talk to her." "Her presence here can't be tolerated." "She must be kicked out!" "The good name of this house is at stake!" "What are you doing here?" "I just wanted to hear you making your two-bit talk about morality, lady Mary." "How dare you!" "Will I get kicked out because I'm a harlot..." "Or because I was stealing your lover from you?" "I know plenty about the family." "Ask her about your morn, Corringa!" "Don't listen to their lies!" "She'll never tell you the truth." " Do you know how your mother really died?" " Shut up!" " No!" "She's been smothered." "Franz will tell you, I'll force him." "She's been murdered." "Quite interesting." "What the reverend told me was peculiar..." "But what I hear now is even bewildering." " We'll have to exhume the body and..." " No, inspector, you can't!" "And may I ask why, miss?" "Any particular reasons not to do that?" "I asked you a reason." "You can't, because, the coffin is empty!" "It's empty!" "Why won't you believe me?" "Empty, huh?" "Please, take the girl away." "No!" "It can't be!" "Come with me, Corringa." "Here." "When did you come here tonight?" " After midnight." " And the coffin was empty?" "Yes, what do I need to convince you?" "No!" "Franz!" "No!" "Milady!" "Smith, help me!" "My beloved!" "No!" "No!" " Let me stay here." " Please..." " No!" "No!" "It can't be real!" " No!" "I want to stay here!" " Please, milady, come with us." "Take her back, Smith, or you reverend, maybe she'd feel better with you." "I want to stay here!" "Here with him!" "Franz!" "Milady, I beg you!" "Jane"" "where's Campbell?" "He went out." "The police forbid everyone to leave the castle." " He's not here!" " You're lying to me?" "Where's your husband?" "He's in the basement..." "No, Suzanne!" "Don't!" "What have you done?" "No!" "It's not what you think!" "I haven't done anything." "Stop!" "Don't tell anyone you saw me!" "It'll be better for you!" "What I found down there..." "Could be useful for you as well." "Yes." "I dragged Franz's body there." "He was killed in my room." "I had to move him." "They killed the orangutan, I used his body to conceal Franz's blood in my room." "James, I know..." "We made a pact..." " But don't you think that..." " Enough with your fear, your mom's dead!" "Her body is in the vault, but yet there's someone interested to exploit the legend!" "And, perhaps, I know who that someone is." "Do you?" " Open up, lord macgrieff!" " They can't catch me now!" "We know you're in there!" " Try to stall them!" " Open the door!" " I'm close to the truth." " Open up!" "L.\ \ q;" "N} Iwg!" "Open the door or we'll break it down!" "Here, I'm opening it!" "Where is he?" "We know he was here." "We heard him." "You're wrong, he wasn't." "I must see him." "Too many things don't add up." "He's the one who called to report Angus' death." "I asked him to, and he only wanted to be helpful." "Smith!" "Take a look." "Doctor Franz's nightgown." "It was hidden in his room." "Another thing he did to be helpful?" "I'm just trying to avoid you getting murdered as well." "Surround the house." "It'll be night soon and he could slip outside." "There's a secret passage, hidden somewhere..." "Keep your eyes on every exit!" "You, to the graveyard!" "Campbell!" "Get me out of here, or he'll kill us all!" " Campbell!" " Save Suzanne!" "She knows!" "He'll kill her!" " Who'?" "!" " Save her!" "You must save her..." "I'll take you out of here, Campbell, but who did this?" "Who's there?" "Who is it?" "Is there anyone there?" "No!" "Aunt Mary!" "It was you!" "Murderer!" "It was you!" "You killed all of them!" "No!" "You won't kill me!" "Corringa!" "Mom!" "No!" " Inspector, he's here!" " Quick!" "Help me!" "He's wounded!" "Take him." "Inspector, the culprit is in the castle, and he'll kill everyone!" "Quick!" "Please believe me!" "I do believe you, lord MacGrieff." "I'd have told you if you didn't flee." "Oh, mom..." "No, aunt Mary!" "I'll leave you all the money, but please don't kill me!" "Your aunt can't hurt anyone else, Corringa!" "She's dead!" "The end she deserved." "Who killed her?" "I did." " Like I killed everyone else." "Don't think of her as a victim." " But, father..." " Wrong, my dear!" " The real father robertson is lying there." "That corpse eaten by the rats." "I killed him to take his place." "When he arrived, before others could meet him." "He's the only innocent victim." "I'm a macgrieff like you." "The blood of this insane family runs through my veins." "I'll give you my money!" "I'll give you everything!" "I'll have it anyway." "I can't leave you alive." "I'm sorry." "I won't talk!" "I swear I won't tell anyone it was you!" "Don't kill me." "Please, don't kill me!" "The rectory's cat." "He witnessed all the murders, but he won't be able to talk." "He won't be able to frame me." "James will be hanged." "Then they'll discover there's another MacGrieff in the us." "And I will inherit everything." "I'm sorry for you, Corringa." "The others deserved to die, Franz and Mary above all." "Did you know that she, and not James, killed her daughter?" "And Franz kept her secret." "They were all filthy individuals..." " But I'm sorry for you." " No!" " Corringa!" " James!" " He was the new reverend, inspector!" " You think so?" "He wasn't a real priest, but he was getting quite a flock of souls." "His victims." "And he almost succeeded with his plan."
