00:01:31Last personally conducted tour of the museum for the day starting immediately the finest collection of occult and supernatural
00:01:38Manifestations ever gather beneath one roof lectures on werewolf ism vampirism and voodoo ism
00:01:43Here for yourselves the amazing story of the long-lost Marie Latour. Dr
00:01:48Charles Morris the renowned director of this museum has devoted his life to gathering this authentic material
00:01:53Now if you will kindly follow me, ladies and gentlemen, please keep as close together as possible as much to be seen
00:02:00More to be heard and plenty to imagine
00:02:06Everyone is familiar with a legend of vampirism
00:02:08How the victim exists on after death seeking out some new victim each night is satiable for the blood of mortals
00:02:16This room is modeled upon an ancient description of some vampires nest
00:02:21In such a place as this the infamous victims rested during the daylight hours
00:02:25Rising at dusk to seek out some new victim to appease their craving for human blood
00:02:33The skeleton of the coffin here
00:02:35Illustrates the prescribed method of doing away with a vampire a wooden stake is driven through the vampire's heart
00:02:40While the creature sleeps in some dank cabin during the daylight hours
00:02:45We will now proceed to the voodoo room
00:02:47Now may I have your attention ladies and gentlemen, please
00:02:50As you will notice this room is reserved for the mysteries of the voodoo. These are all actual photographs
00:02:56Enlarge to show some of the mysterious practices of this strange cult
00:03:00These pictures were all taken by dr
00:03:02Morris and one of his many expeditions to the West Indies where voodooism is widely practiced by some of the natives
00:03:10Here we see a picture of Dr. Morris
00:03:12Where voodooism is widely practiced by some of the natives
00:03:16Here is a real-life photograph of a mysterious, right?
00:03:21By some strange power the soul of one human being is projected into the body of another
00:03:26Sometimes this exchange is made between humans and animals
00:03:29The secret of this mysterious right has never been disclosed. But here is actual photographed evidence that the practice really exists
00:03:36Dr. Morris actually witnessed this extraordinary, right?
00:03:39He carried with him a hidden camera. I'd have been discovered. Dr. Morris would have been killed
00:03:45Ladies and gentlemen photographs do not lie
00:03:50Follow me, please
00:03:56You will observe evidence showing that the former occupant of this room was a woman of rare refinement and unique taste
00:04:02Everything has been kept just as it was on the day. She disappeared a red-letter day in the life of her family a woman of mystery
00:04:09She was the mistress of this house
00:04:11and her name was Marie Latour
00:04:14And she was a werewolf
00:04:16The tradition of werewolves and vampires dates back almost to the world's earliest recorded history
00:04:21of the two the werewolf is perhaps the most horrible because
00:04:25The instinct for evil is so strong that they willingly and cunningly assume the shape of a beast in order to kill
00:04:30It was during these times that farmers complained of seeing a wolf with flashing eyes that killed their cattle and sheep
00:04:37Every effort was made to track the creature down, but it was George Latour who learned the truth at last
00:04:43He discovered the muddy footprints of an animal leading to his house
00:04:46He followed them
00:04:48to his wife's room
00:04:58Servants upstairs hearing screams rushed up and found their master's mangled body over him stood a terrible animal with flaming dripping jaws
00:05:06This creature seeing them turned and fled through a window ladies and gentlemen that creature that thing was Marie Latour
00:05:14She's never been seen from that day to this. No one knows what became of her
00:05:18This room has been kept just as she left it
00:05:20The clock on the mantle there has never struck the hour since the hands are stopped on the exact moment
00:05:25She struck her husband down. Well, you've heard her story seen her effects
00:05:29Now here is her picture
00:05:32Ladies and gentlemen
00:05:34Marie Latour
00:05:38Well, that's the signal for the closing of the museum, thank you for your attention ladies and gentlemen, please tell your friends about us

00:07:45Only last week my princess no one but he knows it as yet
00:07:49He's preparing a manuscript a book the life story. You needn't say anymore
00:07:54The life story of the Latours will never be told by an unbeliever

00:08:20Vampirism and voodooism here for yourselves the amazing story of the long-lost Marie Latour
00:08:26Now if you'll kindly follow me ladies and gentlemen, please keep as close together as possible
00:08:30There's much to be seen more to be heard and plenty to imagine
00:08:56So
00:08:59So
00:09:21You're going to meet bob miss elsa, yes, his plane is due in half an hour
00:09:24I'll certainly be glad to see him. We all will
00:09:29Uh
00:09:34Ready dr. Morris. Oh, oh hello elsa. The plane's the plane's on time then. Uh-huh 9 57
00:09:41I'm i'm afraid i'll have to send you to the airport alone
00:09:44Something rather important will keep me here. But dr. Morris
00:09:48You haven't seen bob for nearly a year
00:09:51He'll be terribly disappointed
00:09:54It's only a matter of minutes an hour at most
00:09:56When he finds you waiting for him, he won't even miss his father. Oh, you know, that isn't so
00:10:02Bob only thinks of me as his sister
00:10:04Should I give the young man a talking to? Oh, no. No, he mustn't think that I
00:10:10What's the matter yeah
00:10:13They're in the desk
00:10:16Where did you get that?
00:10:18It's a devil doll. Yes, it's a devil doll you recognize it elsa
00:10:23It isn't like the ones we have in the voodoo room this one is from the old country I should judge yes, I know
00:10:30I saw one like that in my village when I was a little girl
00:10:34It was always a warning
00:10:37A warning of death. Yes, I know. I found it here when I got back from dinner
00:10:45But it's nothing to be upset about obviously it was uh
00:10:48Left here as a joke or or perhaps a contribution to the museum. Dr. Morris
00:10:52Is someone threatening your life? I hardly think so, but i'm not quite sure yet
00:10:57I'm on the verge of a most interesting discovery a discovery to answer a lot of unanswered questions
00:11:04It may even have something to do with this
00:11:07But I hardly think so. Anyway, i'll know for certain tonight
00:11:11Whom are you phoning the police?
00:11:13Whom are you phoning the police?
00:11:15No, elsa. This is a matter for science
00:11:18Not for the police, but dr
00:11:20Morris if someone is threatening your life for 30 years i've built towards something like this and i'm just selfish enough to want all the
00:11:26Credit for the discovery if it is a discovery for myself
00:11:31Well
00:11:32All right. What do you want me to tell bob then tell him I had a most important engagement that couldn't possibly wait
00:11:38I might almost call it a rendezvous with fate
00:11:41Tell him it has something to do with why I sent for him now
00:11:45Now be a good girl and go along or you'll miss the plane
00:11:48All right, doctor. I'll do as you say i'll be waiting for you both with news great news
00:11:53When you get back
00:12:11So
00:12:18Good evening doctor. Oh, you're still here peter. I I thought you'd gone. I couldn't go till i'd fed minutes, huh?
00:12:23She's been acting up hiding on me. I couldn't find her
00:12:26Because she's getting scared of her own shadow
00:12:29Maybe she listens to your lectures
00:12:32You know, sometimes I begin to believe some of that stuff myself a lot of it's true
00:12:37Good night, peter. Don't forget to lock the front door. I won't sir
00:12:41Good night
00:13:00Hey, what's eating you?
00:13:10Oh
00:13:21Dr. Morris, is that you?
00:13:28Dr. Morris, where are you? Dr. Morris. Dr. Morris. Where are you? Answer me?
00:13:41So
00:13:58Dr. Morris
00:14:02Dr. Morris, where are you? Answer me? Dr. Morris. Dr. Morris
00:14:10Answer me
00:14:41Hey, look minnie didn't finish her supper. Hey dad i'm back
00:14:51Dad
00:14:54Well, he's not here but he must be somewhere about there's a fresh fire on the grade
00:15:00Oh, look bob
00:15:02I'm sure those are pages from your father's manuscript. Well, so what dad isn't the first author to burn the stuff he's written
00:15:09Wonder where he can be
00:15:20I'll stake my record on it. No one has left this house unless he went out the back way
00:15:23But elsie said he spoke of having a very important engagement and the way he talked the appointment was here in the museum
00:15:29Yes, and the doctor would never go out the back way
00:15:32Besides what's become of peter? He's not here either. You think I should turn in the alarm?
00:15:37No, let's give the building a thorough going over first. I feel pretty silly if you were here all the time
00:15:46I think I hear something sounds like it's in there
00:16:06Hmm
00:16:22That's as much as we know
00:16:24Nothing was touched until you arrived
00:16:26Can you say miss cheve that?
00:16:29Fire wasn't burning when you talked with dr. Morris. No, it was not
00:16:33He also poured water on it trying to say what was left of dad's notes
00:16:37I'm afraid it didn't save much. Yes. It looks like the past restoring any idea what was in him
00:16:42I think so
00:16:44Dad was writing a history on marie la tour. I believe these were his reference notes
00:16:48A week ago. He wired me asking me to come home
00:16:51He hinted it was something important, but he didn't go beyond that
00:16:55Now miss cheve you say that dr. Morris told you he was on the verge of an important discovery
00:17:00Yes
00:17:00And you think it has something to do with a woman that used to live in this house?
00:17:03A woman is supposed to be a vampire. Yes. He was a werewolf. Oh, yes a werewolf
00:17:09Mr. Morris, you're a scientist. Tell me the truth. Do you believe any of that silly stuff? I don't know lieutenant
00:17:16As a scientist i'm only supposed to believe that which can be proven in the laboratory
00:17:21My father was killed here tonight
00:17:23under strange and desperate circumstances
00:17:26I think maybe he knew something about some of that silly stuff
00:17:30Well, of course when the coroner's jury gets a medical report the death was caused by the attack of an animal or animals unknown
00:17:35They're not going to point to anything supernatural
00:17:38But lieutenant no ordinary animal deliberately set fire to those notes
00:17:43I'll admit there are some peculiar things about this case that haven't been cleared up
00:17:47We'll keep our eye on that guide case his mind clears and we can ask him some questions
00:17:51But the police department hasn't got time to chase a lot of things that don't exist
00:17:55I never heard of a wolf that could strike a match
00:17:58Here's that devil doll you were telling me about. Where did you find it? It was with the body
00:18:05The boys have stopped digging in that secret passage lieutenant they can't find nothing
00:18:09I guess that's about all we can do to the inquest. I'll leave a man on guard for a few days
00:18:15Oh, do you mind
00:18:18Hello speaking
00:18:20I'm looking for a man named homer. I'm looking for a man named pinky
00:18:26Okay, i'll be right over
00:18:28Have to go over the police laboratory. I'll see you both later. Come on homer
00:18:35Hey chief
00:18:37You're gonna call the boys off the case not now homer. Looks like you're in for a little detective work. No kidding
00:18:41Yeah, there's more here than meets the eye. What do you mean by that?
00:18:44That phone call was from pinky over in the lab. They found a woman's fingerprints all over that secret door on the inside. Yeah
00:18:50That's what they are
00:18:53Are these really the hairs that were from the dead man's hand that's what the doc says he found them under the fingernails
00:19:01Well as an error as I can figure out they came from the body of a wolf
00:19:07That makes you happy
00:19:10Well, maybe it does maybe we've been underrating a certain young lady
00:19:15Homer why if we rush answer on those fingerprints
00:19:17Then we're going over the museum and have a talk with miss elsa cheve
00:19:24We can't have any doors or windows open slightest breath of air i'll crumble those pages into powder
00:19:30Can you stand it i'll go without breathing if it'll help find out who killed your father you may have to
00:19:37Look
00:19:40See what I mean, this is going to be tough
00:19:43But inside this burnt heap of paper is the answer to what we want to know
00:19:50To what your father was seeking
00:19:54Oh bob it frightens me to think of what we might find out we'll cross that little bridge when we come to it
00:20:00Right now i'm only interested in getting this whole machine together
00:20:02Do you really think that it can photograph the letters on burnt paper?
00:20:07Well, if we can get those chart pages to stay in one piece long enough
00:20:10You know, it's amazing what infrared can do
00:20:19Well, I make sure she's here i'll give you the high sign from the porch hey chief
00:20:22Give me that again. I'm supposed to go to her apartment and pick out something with her fingerprints on it
00:20:27Yeah, her passport the girl was born in europe. So she's got to have a passport the fingerprints are on it. I get it
00:20:34She was born in europe
00:20:41Mr.
00:20:42Chauvet inside. Yes, lieutenant. Mr. Mars, too. The rest of the helper down at the air's office answering questions good
00:21:06Hey
00:21:07I wish you'd knock before you come barging into a laboratory that way
00:21:11When you open that door you scattered a full page of dad's notes into a million pieces
00:21:16Oh, i'm, sorry
00:21:19I didn't realize you were working on something
00:21:22I just dropped by to tell you I got a new lead
00:21:25You mean you're not going to close the case?
00:21:27That's right. There's too many questions that haven't been answered
00:21:30for instance
00:21:32How did a woman's fingerprints get on the inside of that secret panel in the marilla tour room?
00:21:37A woman's fingerprints. Yeah, we're checking them now
00:21:41Am I interfering with your work? No, not at all
00:21:45Say bob
00:21:47What is your job in washington chemical research for the government?
00:21:51That's fine. Also, just just touch the brush to the edges
00:21:54Then only the little pieces will break off when you take it away. Mr. Chauvet. Where did you say you were born?
00:21:59in transylvania
00:22:01A little village in the mountains named onkva and did they have werewolves in transylvania?
00:22:09Well
00:22:10There were many legends about werewolves
00:22:13I never actually saw any although
00:22:16There were people in my village who claimed they had seen them. Where did you meet? Dr. Morris?
00:22:20He came to our village to investigate the background of marilla tour
00:22:24My father was magistrate there
00:22:27He asked dr. Morris to bring me to america. He said there would be a lot of trouble in europe
00:22:31How long ago was that?
00:22:33Seven years ago
00:22:34What's the matter lieutenant? You think maybe else is a werewolf in her spare time? Oh, no, I was just thinking it's funny
00:22:41That secret passage has been there all these years and nobody found it. But dr. Morris
00:22:45Come in
00:22:47You wanted our telephone lieutenant
00:22:52I'll let you know when I find out about those fingerprints
00:22:59Yeah
00:23:01All right homer just so you got it
00:23:04Is pinky checking those fingerprints against the ones we found inside that secret passage good
00:23:09If they turn out the way, I think they'll turn out we can close this case in a hurry
00:23:14Yeah
00:23:16Yeah, I got an idea who did it come on out of there you want to be carried out
00:23:19You
00:23:29Now give to me fast what were you doing snooping around in that closet I work here i'm yance pervera the janitor
00:23:35Oh, yeah, I remember you
00:23:38That's not the broom closet young. What were you doing in there? This is what happened to dr. Morris. I'm afraid
00:23:43I heard the policeman come to answer the telephone and I hid that's a good way to attract suspicion
00:23:48You've been to the da's office yet all morning I answer questions
00:23:51Then I come here to do my work
00:23:53Well, I guess you can go home. There's nothing to do around here for a while. This place is closed temporarily
00:23:58Well just a minute
00:24:05Do you believe in werewolves
00:24:09I
00:24:10well
00:24:12There are legends
00:24:13superstitions in my country
00:24:15Transylvania
00:24:16Yes
00:24:18How did you know?
00:24:20Oh, it's my business though
00:24:22Go ahead
00:24:30Yeah
00:24:32What?
00:24:33Well, tell them to check them again. Those fingerprints have got a match. Pinky says they don't
00:24:37You can't pin it on the chauvet girl if the fingerprints don't jive
00:24:40But she's the only woman that knew about that inside passage
00:24:43Yeah, you don't have to tell me we're right back where we were before all right, i'll come over
00:24:50You must be wrong pinky you gotta be wrong that girl is the only one I know lieutenant
00:24:54But all I can tell you is what the fingerprints show. They don't belong to the chauvet woman
00:24:58Well, let's have another look former. Pull down that shade. Yes, sir. All right and see for yourself prints on jive
00:25:12Oh
00:25:15Hey, uh
00:25:16What did I tell you?
00:25:18I never did think that nice girl could have done it that nice girl could have had an accomplice
00:25:22Couldn't she and i've got a pretty good idea who it was. He comes from the same country as a chauvet girl
00:25:26What are you gonna do chief? What do you think?
00:25:29Yeah, that's what I thought
00:25:32Well, we've got two pages of slightly scrambled notes on these negatives
00:25:36I'll take them home and develop them
00:25:38At this rate, we'll have some real evidence in about six months
00:25:42Yeah, let's follow tonight wait until I get my purse
00:25:59You don't think i'm silly and believing that there's something supernatural about your father's death do you bob
00:26:06I wouldn't be trying to restore dad's notes if I did
00:26:09So far, it's the only explanation that makes sense
00:26:11Yes, if all this had happened in my home village the people there they would be sure
00:26:17And I'm as convinced that your father made some startling discovery regarding maria tour
00:26:23As I am that we're here together now. No, sir. I
00:26:26I've been meaning to ask you do you want to stay on at the museum? Oh, I hadn't thought that far ahead
00:26:31Do you know that you just called me elsa? Did I uh-huh? What happened to sis? I had to check her off the list
00:26:38She grew up and became a very pretty girl
00:26:40Named elsa chauvet. Oh, and what have you done about elsa? I gave her two weeks to make up her mind to do what?
00:26:47To come back to washington with me as mrs. Robert morris
00:26:50Oh, Elsa doesn't need two weeks. Her mind is made up right now. You mean you'll go with me?
00:26:56Anywhere in the world darling
00:26:58That's all I wanted to know
00:27:00What am I waiting for?
00:27:10So
00:27:40So
00:27:55Yeah, kitty kitty kitty, where are you kitty? Hey kitty kitty kitty kitty
00:28:03Yeah, kitty kitty kitty
00:28:11Here kitty kitty kitty kitty
00:28:18Kitty kitty kitty here kitty kitty kitty kitty
00:28:22There you are. Oh, you got shot in huh? Come on. Come on
00:28:33There now is that better you're kind of scared in there all alone, aren't you?
00:28:40So
00:28:55Okay
00:28:58Professor you're sure you didn't touch anything when you came in this morning. Not a thing lieutenant
00:29:02I took one look and notified you after I let the cat out. I never went near this room
00:29:06I can believe it donagan. You were probably catching a little shut-eye. Oh, i've got insomnia lieutenant
00:29:10You know that I couldn't sleep if I wanted to that don't keep you from trying
00:29:14Well boys, it looks like we got something to go on this time, right homer, huh?
00:29:17Uh, yeah, right chief. Hurry up picky and develop those pictures, right?
00:29:22Whoever destroyed these notes put that handprint on the door
00:29:25Whoever left the handprint?
00:29:26Killed dr. Morris
00:29:28Sorry, miss chevey to debunk your little story about a werewolf being the killer
00:29:33The real killer had hands and feet
00:29:35And he walked with a limp
00:29:37Do you believe that the janitors it's more than a belief miss chevey that handprint will prove that jan spavaro is our man, right piggy
00:29:44Yeah
00:29:45He must have had a lot of fun in here last night
00:29:48Tossing all his black confetti around. Yeah, you can call it fun if you want to piggy
00:29:52But spavaro must have been pretty anxious to get rid of these notes. He put his head right into a nice little noose to do it
00:29:59Let's go boy
00:30:08You
00:30:14They will not find me I swear it
00:30:16The police is stupid not so stupid as the one who leaves his handprint behind him on the wall
00:30:21And they will find you jan. They will find you and they will make you talk. No. No, I swear they will not
00:30:26I shall go away and never come back
00:30:28I've spoken with the elders of the tribe jan
00:30:31They have decided you promised that if I served you faithfully by princess
00:30:34Does one keep promises of fools who bring the police down upon our heads silent old one bianca
00:30:40Leave us
00:30:47This much I will promise you jan you will lie with your ancestors in the ground selected by my mother
00:31:00No
00:31:02No
00:31:32So
00:31:56Ah
00:32:02Oh
00:32:21Weep child we
00:32:25You cannot help the things that have been
00:32:28Or the things that must be it is your destiny
00:32:32You are our high priestess
00:32:35The welfare of our tribe is in your keeping
00:32:38It was ordained so by your mother
00:32:42And she placed you in my care
00:32:46You are the daughter of a werewolf
00:32:52Daughter of a werewolf
00:32:59I am the daughter of a werewolf
00:33:03I
00:33:10Like to keep my own private record of everything pertaining to a case
00:33:16My wife pastes them in the scrapbook then I got something to show my kids
00:33:19What makes you think that timberwolves or some drunken farmer thinks he's all got anything to do with this case?
00:33:24Well, dr
00:33:25Morris was killed by an animal or animals unknown wasn't he or by a certain jan spevera who tried to make it look like
00:33:31the work of an animal
00:33:33I know it's even peggy
00:33:39Yeah speaking
00:33:42You did
00:33:43Where?
00:33:45I'll be right over. Come on. They've located spevero
00:33:48Oh boy, have I got some questions to ask? Oh, I forgot to tell you he's over at the morgue ripped to death by a wolf
00:34:01One more question princess
00:34:03Did you have any knowledge that this man spevero was wanted by the police when he came to you begging the hospitality of your tribe?
00:34:11As has been told you jan spevero was not a member of our tribe
00:34:14His identity was discovered a day after he'd been with us
00:34:17When he was told that he must go he protested his innocence, but he left
00:34:21The next we knew of him was when he was found dead
00:34:24That'll be all princess. You were excused
00:34:32One moment, please princess
00:34:34Mr. Morris wishes to ask you a few questions for general information
00:34:38I have here princess certain notes that my father had made in preparing a book
00:34:42They're rather fragmentary, but you may be able to help me piece them together
00:34:46For whatever bearing they might have on the case
00:34:49The notes refer to a certain tribe of gypsies called the troiga
00:34:53Have you ever heard of such a tribe?
00:34:55That's the name of my tribe. Mr. Morris
00:34:57Is it true that your people are bound together by tradition and belief?
00:35:01That they'll be together in death as well as in life
00:35:03There are many things about my people which may seem strange to you
00:35:07We do believe that death will bring us together and keep us together eternally
00:35:12For 11 months my people roam the roads and country lanes of this land selling toys and trinkets
00:35:18Then at this season of the year they gather from everywhere to meet and mingle together to
00:35:22To meet and mingle together to break the bread of friendship with one another to court new sweethearts to marry to
00:35:29To christen their babies and to bury their dead burying your dead once a year
00:35:34Is that one of the superstitions of your people what you call superstition we call religion?
00:35:39I see
00:35:41I wonder if you do why does your tribe always return to this particular place princess?
00:35:46It's tradition
00:35:48In some countries the body is burned
00:35:51In our treasured ground it is buried but only on the 12th month during the feast of life and death
00:35:56Has that tradition existed only since marie la tour joined the troiga tribe princess?
00:36:06Marie letour
00:36:08Yes, my father traced her to your tribe. It's here in his notes. Have you never heard of her marie?
00:36:17Was she a member of your tribe
00:36:21Ah
00:36:26The meeting is recessed
00:36:50You
00:36:54How do you do sir
00:36:56Adamson and sons are at your service. I'd like to speak to mr. Adamson or one of the sons. Mr
00:37:01Adamson is dead
00:37:02I'm the last of the sons. Is this a professional call? Well, not exactly the the name is morris
00:37:08I'm doing some research on a gypsy tribe called the troiga
00:37:11I'm told that they ship their dead here and then the living members gather from all over the country
00:37:15About this time of year for one great funeral true true. Mr
00:37:18Morris, we have refrigerated vaults in the basement and the deceased are kept there until the time for the funeral
00:37:24Would you excuse me a moment while I switch off the electric organ?
00:37:27You probably have records of when this temporary burial practice began records of the early gypsy families
00:37:33I wonder if I might see them. You see i'm looking for a certain woman known to have joined the tribe many years ago
00:37:38I'm, sorry, mr. Morris professional ethics
00:37:41The troiga are very secretive
00:37:43They send us their dead we keep them on ice, of course and then they come and take them away
00:37:50Those old records are stored in the basement. No one is allowed to see them
00:37:55Do you know?
00:37:56I myself am not certain where the troiga gypsies finally buried their dead. I believe they have some sort of secret burial ground
00:38:03Oh, I'll have to leave you now. Someone's being delivered at the service entrance
00:38:07I'm, sorry. I couldn't be of more help to you
00:38:09If you care to wait i'll give you what information I can thank you. Mr. Adamson
00:38:14You're very kind. Good. Good. Mr. Morris. I'll be back soon. Just make yourself at home books magazines
00:38:23What a coincidence some of the troiga gypsies are here now speak of the devil
00:38:35Who is it this time?
00:38:38A dear comrade
00:38:44Speaking of names your tribe is attracting quite a bit of scientific interest
00:38:48Yes, there's a young man here now asking about the history and customs of the troiga. It seems he's doing some research. What's his name?
00:38:55Morris, yes, that's it. Mr. Morris. I'll never forget a name. I can't remember faces, but I'll never forget a name
00:39:02You say he's here now. Yes. Yes. He asked to see the records of the dead from your tribe
00:39:06Naturally, I refused but he's waiting. I promised to do all I could for him. Oh, oh, that's all right
00:39:12You can leave it there. I'll take care of mr. Spavaro, please. Mr. Adamson. Not so loud. What's that?
00:39:18Oh nothing. There's nobody here but myself
00:39:21Mr. Morris is in the reception room
00:39:23I should like very much to meet mr. Morris fine. He's quite an interesting character that talks a lot
00:39:29We'll have to go up front anyway to sign the papers
00:39:32I know mr. Morris will be delighted such an earnest young man. So eager
00:39:36So eager

00:42:56I've been spending some very interesting moments
00:42:59Mr. Adamson tells me you're here trying to learn more about our tribe. That's right. I
00:43:03I find your customs completely fascinating princess
00:43:07Well, perhaps I could help you to understand them better
00:43:09perhaps
00:43:10There you two are and chatting just like old friends. My my I thought you both had gone. We were just going mr. Adamson

00:43:24That's much more than I expected
00:43:27It isn't kindness. Mr. Morris. It's because I like you

00:43:46You like to look at me

00:43:59Mr. Morris
00:44:01We can be friends
00:44:03Okay
00:44:04Please call me celeste celeste
00:44:07Bob
00:44:09Well, that does make it a little less formal
00:44:12Bob
00:44:14You're a little afraid of me no
00:44:17Should I be?
00:44:19Woman likes to have a man a little afraid of her
00:44:23Who was that pretty girl at the inquest
00:44:26Elsa Chauvet
00:44:28She's in love with you. I hope so
00:44:32Are you in love with her? I'm gonna be married as soon as I go back to washington
00:44:38I wonder if she realizes how fortunate she is. Was there anything to stop you from being that fortunate?
00:44:47Wish I could tell you but I can't
00:44:59So
00:45:11Bob is that you?
00:45:14Oh darling, I was so worried. I was just this minute dialing the police
00:45:19Tell me what happened. Did you learn anything new at the mortuary?
00:45:23No, not as much as I wanted to
00:45:25What took you so long?
00:45:26Well, I ran into that whole gang of gypsies at adamson's celeste was there
00:45:31Celeste yeah, the gypsy princess as a matter of fact, she she asked me to drive her home and I did
00:45:38You drove her to the gypsy camp. Yeah, I
00:45:41Stayed for tea too. It was very interesting
00:45:45She she told me a lot of things about herself and her tribe
00:45:48Did you know that the troika tribe has one of the few forms of matriarchal inheritance left in the world?
00:45:53You know where they pass the title from mother to daughter instead of father to son
00:45:57Blood to blood they call it
00:46:00No, I didn't know that. Yeah, it's true. Celeste told me she inherited her title from her mother
00:46:06Celeste well, that's her name darling. She asked me to call her that instead of princess
00:46:12But I don't understand
00:46:14At the inquest this morning. You were convinced that there was some connection between these gypsies and your father's death
00:46:21and now
00:46:23You act as though that suspicion was the farthest thing from your mind
00:46:28darling
00:46:30What has come over you?
00:46:31Nothing. It's just now that i've met and talked with the gypsies. I'm i'm convinced. They're simple harmless people
00:46:37They may have strange customs and secrets. Yes, but well, i'm not going to run around and make wild accusations against innocent people
00:46:45Maybe there's some things we just don't understand
00:46:48I'm as certain that that gypsy girl is evil as I am that I breathe. Oh deep in my heart. I know
00:46:57And i'm afraid
00:46:59Afraid of what it'll do to us
00:47:03To you, oh darling you take things too seriously
00:47:18A love doll
00:47:26This I think is yours
00:47:29It explains a great deal
00:47:41Well, you've hardly eaten a bite I wasn't very hungry tonight layman
00:47:48Thank you very much, you're welcome. Good night. Good night
00:47:59Good evening elsa. Hello mac. If you're looking for bob, he just drove off in his car about 10 minutes ago
00:48:04Oh, thank you. I didn't expect to meet bob
00:48:07I came back to do a little work now
00:48:09Why don't you give up this night? You're too nice a girl not to be out having a good time for yourself
00:48:14There's plenty of time to go to work when you get as old as I am
00:48:17Thank you, mac
00:48:18There are some jobs. I can't wait until we are older
00:48:28If you could speak marie lentore you could tell me what I want to know
00:48:36What is this evil power
00:48:39Where does it come from
00:48:44I know that it exists
00:48:46And that it's here in this house
00:49:09Are you admiring my mother's portrait
00:49:13Your mother
00:49:15Maria tour
00:49:23I should have guessed it
00:49:26Of course you should
00:49:28Think of the time and trouble you would have saved putting dr. Morris's notes together
00:49:33You've been so eager to learn the truth about my mother miss chauvet
00:49:36To reveal the secrets of the troika tribe. She fled to when she left this house so many years ago
00:49:42Such persistence must not go unrewarded
00:49:45To you shall be revealed all these secrets
00:49:48You shall be my sister
00:49:50It is in my power
00:49:53What is it are you remembering dr. Morris's torn body
00:49:58Or do you see peter altheus horror-filled face shocked into madness by a sight his eyes never should have seen
00:50:04Do not fear that my sister yours shall be a better fate I shall teach you a new worship a new religion
00:50:13Your first sacrifice upon its altar will be the faith of the man you love
00:50:17Since I am forbidden to love him. So shall you be
00:50:20bob
00:50:22bob
00:50:24You will learn to live as I must live
00:50:27apart
00:50:29Beyond the reach of men and mortals
00:50:32And for that love which once shone in a man's eyes
00:50:35Loathing will be substituted
00:50:38You shall be feared and hated
00:50:43Oh

00:54:20Well, they're not they're devil worshipers and they've got a secret all right in the basement of this house
00:54:25I just phoned dr. Phillips. He said to give her a sedative and he'll be here in 15 minutes. Stay away from me
