00:11:36evidence before this court i have did you know the girl no sir from the evidence i have heard i had
00:11:44the impression that your son was somewhat of a bohemian would you agree with that he was a talented
00:11:50artist his life was of his own choosing i also had the impression he was a libertine no
00:11:57he had a number of girlfriends possibly however that does not make him a libertine and one
00:12:03girlfriend in particular whom he betrayed i cannot believe that you are his father
00:12:09i have read the newspapers i am also a student of human nature i have read about the unsolved
00:12:22vandorff murders i have also listened to the evidence and opinions given in this court in my opinion
00:12:29everything i have heard has been generated by fear
00:12:38proceed evidence so obviously circumstantial prejudiced and contrived
00:12:44making one innocent man the scapegoat so obviously indeed that i can forecast your verdict now
00:12:49murder and suicide my son's innocence stained to bring this witch hunt to a smug and satisfactory close
00:13:00that is all i have to say mr coroner but believe me i shall not rest until i have cleared my son's good name
00:13:11if you have finished you may stand down
00:13:19i find that the dead woman was murdered by her fiance bruno heights who then in a fit of remorse took his own life
00:13:36port is adjourned
00:13:50i have been seven murders committed in the forest of vandorff in the past five years
00:14:09every victim bore the same marks each body turned to stone why didn't you speak of this at the inquest
00:14:15why is everyone in vandorff trying to evade the truth including you carl i expected cannot to make a
00:14:22scapegoat of that poor innocent boy but not you why are you so certain he's innocent
00:14:30because she has come back she is here somewhere in this hospital i know it come in
00:14:40i want to ask you a second please professor heights would like to see you sir
00:14:48professor this is my assistant miss carla hoffman how do you do that'll be all miss hoffman i
00:14:53shan't need you anymore today
00:14:57i'm so very sorry about your son professor you have my deepest sympathy thank you
00:15:02i want to ask you a simple question please you were once a guest at my house in berlin
00:15:15you met both my sons bruno in particular you talked to him at some length
00:15:21i believe i did what impression did you form of him well i thought he was
00:15:26he was normal oh yes of course yet capable of murder my dear heights that is hardly a fair
00:15:36question given a certain set of circumstances i believe almost everybody is capable of murder
00:15:42naturally you are prejudiced i have been in vandorf exactly two days i have asked questions and
00:15:49received evasion i have called at police headquarters and been refused admittance everywhere i go i find a
00:15:54conspiracy of silence i'm sure you exaggerate oh no there's an explanation somewhere it lies in the
00:16:03past some horrible occurrence which has been suppressed to the people of vandorf this thing
00:16:09whatever it is is real but something they cannot mention because they dare not they want to believe
00:16:14that it doesn't exist because the very admission of its existence only increases their fear
00:16:18that's why my son was branded a murderer he at least was human tangible
00:16:26doctor i need your help
00:16:34i can add nothing to what i said in court let me ask you one more question have you ever heard of magera
00:16:42magera she was one of three sisters they were known as gorgons two of them were slain according
00:16:52to the legend the third magera fled to these parts it said that when mortals looked upon her face
00:17:00they were turned to stone that legend is 2000 years old so i believe
00:17:06we are men of science i don't believe in ghosts or evil spirits and i don't think you do either that's
00:17:13one of the most unscientific remarks i have ever heard i believe in the existence of everything
00:17:19which the human brain is unable to disprove or prove that is why i'm remaining in vandorf
00:17:26at least i intend to prove that my son was not a murderer one moment a word of advice what is it
00:17:34is it leave vandorf before it's too late what is it you're afraid of i'm afraid for you or of what i may
00:17:42discover if i remain
00:17:56let's get to the house come on let's get him out get out of bed don't fight sir don't you think we should
00:18:26we want you out of this house mr now get out of my house all of you oh sir let's have it

00:20:48uh
00:20:50uh
00:20:52uh
00:25:54Hans!
00:28:56It wasn't heart failure.
00:28:58It's your opinion.
00:29:00No doubt you'll have an opportunity to express it at the inquest.
00:29:04When will it be held?
00:29:05I don't know.
00:29:06I see you.
00:29:07I see that you're informed.
00:29:12Goodbye, Mr. Heights.
00:31:21Please forgive me for intruding.
00:31:44The door was open.
00:31:47Who are you?
00:31:53I'm Carla Hoffman, Dr. Namorov's assistant at the hospital.
00:31:58You are Paul Heights.
00:32:00Can I help you?
00:32:03I would like to help you if I can.
00:32:08Does Namorov know you're here?
00:32:10He'd be very angry if he did.
00:32:14Oh, please believe me.
00:32:16I only came here to see if I can help you.
00:32:21This afternoon you spoke to Dr. Namorov.
00:32:25You spoke about Megera?
00:32:27Yes.
00:32:29Did Dr. Namorov tell you that the spirit of Megera roams this forest
00:32:35and has also been known to enter this house?
00:32:38No, he didn't.
00:32:39For the simple reason that he doesn't believe in her.
00:32:41Or says he doesn't.
00:32:42But you do.
00:32:43I don't know.
00:32:44I only know that something very terrible is happening here in Bandorf.
00:32:47Megera does exist, Mr. Heights.
00:32:49Have you seen her?
00:32:50No one has seen her and lived.
00:32:52Do you really think that Namorov believes in her?
00:32:54I know he does.
00:32:55Then why doesn't he admit it?
00:32:56Because he's like all the rest.
00:32:58He tries to deny the existence of something he cannot explain.
00:33:03Megera is inexplicable and terrifying.
00:33:08But you must believe in her.
00:33:10If you don't, you'll see no reason to leave here.
00:33:13And one day you'll be found like all the others.
00:33:18Well, thank you for warning me.
00:33:20But I have to find out things for myself.
00:33:22I can't leave.
00:33:23In less than one week, I've lost my brother and my father.
00:33:30I'm not really very concerned about what happens to me.
00:33:33I am concerned.
00:33:39I'm very grateful to you.
00:33:46I must go now.
00:33:48I'm on duty now for now.
00:33:53Goodbye.
00:33:57I hope we'll meet again.
00:34:16Amber Spencer once said,
00:34:18that every legend and myth known to mankind
00:34:21is not entirely without its authentic foundation.
00:34:27Presupposing he is right,
00:34:29we must go to the very source of this legend
00:34:32to a time over 2,000 years ago to ancient Greece.
00:34:36There were three hideous monsters.
00:34:39Sisters.
00:34:41They were called Gorgons.
00:34:44Their names were Tisiphone, Medusa, and Megera.
00:34:56Their heads were crowned with living snakes,
00:34:59and each snake was a tentacle of the hellish brain
00:35:03from which it sprang.
00:35:05So hideous was the Gorgon that anyone who looked upon her
00:35:15was petrified.
00:35:21The... the proper word is Gorgonized,
00:35:24which literally means turned to stone.
00:35:33Go on.
00:35:39I'm sorry.
00:35:40He came in just then.
00:35:43That's all I had time to memorize.
00:35:54I want you to trust me, Carla.
00:35:56Why is this letter so important?
00:35:59Because Professor Heitz was a great student of mythology.
00:36:02And had he lived,
00:36:03he could have provided a complete answer.
00:36:06I'd hope to find it in that letter.
00:36:08Has it helped you at all?
00:36:10A little.
00:36:12I can tell you that...
00:36:14That devil! She's out!
00:36:15Look for her.
00:36:16Don't come back till you've found her.
00:36:18If I do find her, I'll kill her!
00:36:20Blacker!
00:36:23You'll bring her back alive.
00:36:30I was about to tell you that Megera has taken on human form.
00:36:35Human?
00:36:48Men?
00:36:49No!
00:36:50No!
00:36:51No!
00:36:53No!
00:36:55No!
00:36:56No!
00:36:58Go back!
00:37:00No!
00:37:02No!
00:37:07No, no!
00:37:08No!
00:37:10What?
00:37:12No!

00:40:27What happened to me?
00:40:32Well, Miss Hoffman had some sort of presentiment
00:40:34that something was going to happen to you.
00:40:36We found you lying beside the pool in your garden.
00:40:40How long have I been here?
00:40:42Five days.
00:40:45Five?
00:40:46Now lie still.
00:40:49Can you remember what happened before you fell?
00:40:53Fell?
00:40:54Don't you remember?
00:41:00I remember.
00:41:06I remember seeing something reflected in the pool.
00:41:15What was it?
00:41:17Her face.
00:41:20It was horrible.
00:41:21It was the most horrible thing I've ever seen.
00:41:27You must rest now.
00:41:29I'll talk to you again in a day or two.
00:41:31In a day or two?
00:41:32You're in a very weak condition.
00:41:33I don't want you to overtax your strength.
00:41:36For pity's sake, I must know about this...
00:41:39this... thing.
00:41:41Whatever it was.
00:41:42I'm speaking to you as a doctor.
00:41:44You're suffering from shock and it's essential that you should rest.
00:41:47I tell you I'm all right.
00:41:49Please, I've got to know.
00:41:51I want you to look at yourself.
00:41:54I want you to look at yourself.
00:42:10Now please do as I tell you.
00:42:11Do you want me to look at yourself?
00:42:12I'll go.
00:42:13I'll go.
00:42:14I'll go.
00:42:15I'll go.
00:42:16I'll go.
00:42:17It's all right. It's all right. She was here. She came into the room. I saw her.
00:42:42You were dreaming. No one's been here, I promise you.
00:42:44She was leaning over me. I could see the snake's head lunging forward. I'd tell you she was here.
00:42:48Oh, no. It was a dream. It was only a dream.
00:42:55Try and rest. Try and rest.
00:43:00Mr. Heitz is ready to leave. He'd like to see you before he goes.
00:43:17I'll ask him to come in.
00:43:19Mr. Heitz.
00:43:33Sit down, Mr. Heitz.
00:43:35I understand that the inquest on my father was held a week ago.
00:43:42Yes. He was buried the day after you were taken ill.
00:43:46Miss Hoffman took the liberty of sending a wreath on your behalf.
00:43:49I'm very grateful to her.
00:43:51You'll be leaving for Leipzig now?
00:43:53No.
00:43:54Are you staying in Vandorf?
00:43:57I'm going back to the house.
00:44:00Doctor, I think you would like to unravel this mystery as much as I.
00:44:04Why can't we work together?
00:44:05I don't understand. You're what mystery?
00:44:07Oh, for heaven's sake, don't treat me like one of your neurotic patients.
00:44:09You know perfectly well what I'm talking about.
00:44:11I'm afraid I don't.
00:44:13Good day, Mr. Heitz.
00:44:14Good day.
00:44:25You're afraid of her like the rest of them, aren't you?
00:44:28Well, I intend to find this creature.
00:44:30Indeed.
00:44:31And destroy it.
00:44:44Come to my office, will you?
00:45:07Yes, sir?
00:45:08There's a full moon tonight.
00:45:10Don't let her out of your sight.
00:45:12I feel I have the right to ask you a question.
00:45:15What is it?
00:45:17Is she in danger?
00:45:22She may be close to death.
00:45:42Don't let her out of her pair, so the alley could kiss her.
00:45:49Does she love her?
00:45:57That she could do with her might.
00:46:00We have to answer your door.
00:46:01Don't let her out of her.
00:46:03Don't let her out of her.
00:46:05Don't let провivel her understand your gray approach.
00:46:07I don't know.
00:46:37Somehow I knew you'd be here.
00:47:07Why did Namoroff issue a false death certificate?
00:47:27Who is he trying to shield?
00:47:31I know it's almost beyond belief, but there's the evidence in that coffin.
00:47:36A man who looked on her face and was turned to stone.
00:47:38Herbert Spencer once said that every legend and myth known to mankind is not without its authentic foundation.
00:47:49You've read my father's letter.
00:47:50Yes, I lied to you.
00:47:57Dr. Namoroff wanted that letter.
00:47:59I memorized part of it.
00:48:01Why did he want it?
00:48:04He was hoping it would throw new light on Magera.
00:48:06Please don't hate me for this.
00:48:13Why are you telling me this now?
00:48:15I'm afraid.
00:48:16Of Namoroff?
00:48:17Yes.
00:48:21In a way.
00:48:22But why?
00:48:29Go on, tell me.
00:48:36You asked me just now who he's trying to shield.
00:48:39I don't know.
00:48:42He won't tell me.
00:48:46Is Namoroff in love with you?
00:48:50And jealous?
00:48:53Yes.
00:48:54Then why don't you leave him?
00:48:56I wish I could.
00:48:58Carla.
00:49:05I'll take you away with me now.
00:49:14Paul.
00:49:15I can't leave.
00:49:17Just don't be afraid.
00:49:18I love you.
00:49:18I love you.
00:49:19Well, then leave Namoroff.
00:49:20I can't, Paul.
00:49:21I just can't.
00:49:22Why?
00:49:23If you love me, why not?
00:49:23I don't know.
00:49:26I don't know why.
00:49:28Carla.
00:49:30Paul.
00:49:36Please.
00:49:38Don't ask me again.
00:49:58Don't ask me again.
00:49:58Don't ask me again.
00:49:58Don't ask me again.
00:49:59Don't ask me again.
00:50:00Don't ask me again.
00:50:00Don't ask me again.
00:50:01Don't ask me again.
00:50:01Don't ask me again.
00:50:02Don't ask me again.
00:50:02Don't ask me again.
00:50:02Don't ask me again.
00:50:03Don't ask me again.
00:50:03Don't ask me again.
00:50:04Don't ask me again.
00:50:04Don't ask me again.
00:50:05Don't ask me again.
00:50:05Don't ask me again.
00:50:06Don't ask me again.
00:50:06Don't ask me again.
00:50:07Don't ask me again.
00:50:07Don't ask me again.
00:50:08Don't ask me again.
00:50:09Don't ask me again.
00:50:10Don't ask me again.
00:50:11Don't ask me again.
00:50:12Don't ask me again.
00:50:13Don't ask me again.
00:50:14Well, you propose to keep me standing out here all night?
00:50:36Professor Meister!
00:50:39Oh, I can't tell you how glad I am to see you.
00:50:44Good heavens, Paul, what's happened to you?
00:50:49Oh, I've been ill.
00:50:54Ill?
00:50:56Look as if you've been in your grave and dug your way out.
00:51:01Where have you been?
00:51:02Here, in Randolph.
00:51:05Well, I hadn't seen you for some considerable time, so I thought I'd come and see what you'd been doing.
00:51:11It's a long story.
00:51:12I've come a long way to hear it.
00:51:13Oh, could I offer you some refreshment? Coffee?
00:51:16No, no, no, nothing like that, thank you. I ate on the train.
00:51:19Now, tell me your story.
00:51:20Okay.
00:51:26Okay.
00:51:26Okay.
00:52:39Were you out tonight, Carla?
00:52:43Yes.
00:52:45Where did you go?
00:52:47For a walk.
00:52:49Were you alone?
00:52:50Yes.
00:52:52Yes.
00:52:53It isn't a pretty sight.
00:53:17It never ceases to amaze me why the most noble work of God, the human brain, is the most revolting to the human eye.
00:53:26Do you remember when we found Paul Heitz?
00:53:29I do.
00:53:30It was the night Martha escaped and you told me that Magera had taken on human form.
00:53:40Well?
00:53:41Was it Martha?
00:53:43No, Carla.
00:53:46It wasn't Martha.
00:53:50You suspect somebody.
00:53:52It's too early to say.
00:53:54We work so closely together.
00:54:01I have a right to know.
00:54:03Please tell me.
00:54:06Not until I'm sure.
00:54:10Good night, Carla.
00:54:11So you only saw her reflection?
00:54:28It was enough.
00:54:29When Perseus beheaded Medusa, he guided his blow by looking at her reflection in the shield that he carried.
00:54:39If your story is true, the girl, Sasha, must have looked directly at the Gorgon, and so did your father.
00:54:45What spared you was the fact that you only saw her reflection.
00:54:47This much we know.
00:54:48Didn't you believe me?
00:54:50I'm not saying that Magera exists.
00:54:52I'm questioning the use of all sorts of it.
00:54:55Hallucination or not, it was certainly real enough to you.
00:54:58She was not an hallucination.
00:54:59No, no, of course not.
00:55:00Professor, please don't try to humor me.
00:55:03Is the idea of Magera any stranger than the theory of reincarnation,
00:55:06which admits to a dead person's spirit inhabiting a human body?
00:55:09Primer enough, Paul, but that particular theory has yet to be proved.
00:55:12Do you believe it?
00:55:13I neither believe it nor disbelieve it.
00:55:15Now, as to your own story,
00:55:17let us start with the assumption that Magera,
00:55:21some form or another, has indeed returned.
00:55:26Have you met many people since you've been here?
00:55:29Very few.
00:55:31Any women?
00:55:33Only the one I told you about.
00:55:35Oh, yes, Carla.
00:55:36Carla Hoffman.
00:55:39What's she like?
00:55:41Very beautiful.
00:55:43I see.
00:55:44You're in love with her?
00:55:45I didn't say so.
00:55:48You didn't have to.
00:55:49I'll have that drink you offered me now.
00:55:54Under no circumstances will I permit such a thing.
00:55:57There is no precedent.
00:55:58Don't use long words, Inspector.
00:55:59They don't suit you.
00:56:00Of course, if you don't wish to be of assistance,
00:56:02that's entirely your affair.
00:56:03I shall go higher up.
00:56:04Higher up?
00:56:04I presume that even you, Inspector,
00:56:06acknowledge the existence of a superior?
00:56:08How dare you?
00:56:09The foreign secretary, for example.
00:56:11I would like to put down...
00:56:12A very valued friend of my dear brother.
00:56:13But don't bother about it, Inspector.
00:56:15I'll go and see him myself.
00:56:16Well, it will, uh, not...
00:56:19Yes, you were saying.
00:56:21It will not be necessary, Professor.
00:56:24It was just that your request startled me for a moment,
00:56:28but, uh, no doubt you have a very good reason.
00:56:31Now, let me see you, uh,
00:56:33you wish to inspect the photographs and records.
00:56:36Of all the women aliens registered here
00:56:38within the last ten years.
00:56:40Well, I'll, um, go and get the files.
00:56:47Visitors to Van Dorf are only required to register
00:56:50if they wish later to become citizens.
00:56:53This is, of course, a very democratic state.
00:56:56There's a lovely girl, Professor.
00:57:01Does this look like her?
00:57:03It hardly does her justice, but...
00:57:04It looks like her.
00:57:06How long has she been here?
00:57:07Well, the information's on the back.
00:57:10Seven years.
00:57:12When did these murders start?
00:57:14Murders?
00:57:15I'm referring to the ones which you failed to solve
00:57:17and which your democratic state so carefully concealed, Inspector.
00:57:20When did they start?
00:57:22Approximately.
00:57:22Not approximately. Exactly.
00:57:25Five years ago.
00:57:32Oh, incidentally, I understand
00:57:34some of your democratic citizens
00:57:36tried to eject the late Professor Heights,
00:57:38you'd better warn them not to attempt
00:57:39that sort of behavior with me.
00:57:41Good day.
00:57:41Dr. Namorov.
00:57:59What is it?
00:57:59Mr. Heights is on the telephone.
00:58:02He wants to make an appointment to see you
00:58:03with Professor Meister.
00:58:05Meister?
00:58:05From Leipzig University.
00:58:10I can't see them till them I'm busy.
00:58:12Mr. Heights was very insistent.
00:58:14Carla, please!
00:58:16Do as I say.
00:58:19Carla.
00:58:25When you went for your walk last night,
00:58:27you said you were alone.
00:58:28You lied to me.
00:58:29Do I have to account to you for everything I do?
00:58:33You were with Paul Heights, weren't you?
00:58:36Why don't you ask Ratov?
00:58:38I'm asking you.
00:58:39I am tired of being treated like a criminal.
00:58:45Why does Ratov follow me everywhere I go?
00:58:49Why are you spying on me?
00:58:51I'm trying to protect you.
00:58:53I don't believe you.
00:58:54I've told you before there are times
00:58:56when you shouldn't be alone.
00:59:02Tell me about those times.
00:59:03Tell me what happens to me.
00:59:05I can't yet.
00:59:08Because it's all an invention.
00:59:10No!
00:59:10You're trying to frighten me.
00:59:11I only want to take care of you.
00:59:13So that I'll submit to being treated like a prisoner.
00:59:17I've had enough.
00:59:19I am sick of your jealousy.
00:59:21I am sick of you.
00:59:38Paul?
00:59:41I'm sorry.
00:59:42Dr. Namoroff won't see you.
00:59:44Well, why not?
00:59:44He says he's too busy.
00:59:45Paul, meet me tomorrow morning
00:59:51at the castle, Borsky, at 7 o'clock.
00:59:54Hello.
00:59:56Hello, Carla.
01:00:00Well?
01:00:02Namoroff refuses to see us.
01:00:07Goodbye.
01:00:09Bye.
01:00:11Goodbye.
01:00:13Bye.
01:00:18Bye.
01:00:19Bye.
01:00:20Bye.
01:00:22Bye.
01:00:31Cheers.
01:00:31Let's go.
01:00:41Paul?
01:00:48Why did you want to come here?
01:00:55They're less likely to follow me.
01:00:58No one dares come near the castle, Borski.
01:01:17When was her last inhabited?
01:01:20Fifty years ago.
01:01:22Except for her.
01:01:25Her?
01:01:27Again.
01:01:34Why did you want to see me so urgently? Have you changed your mind?
01:01:44Oh, yes, Paul.
01:01:47I will come away with you.
01:01:51You will?
01:01:57I don't feel chained to Vandorf anymore.
01:01:58I'm not afraid any longer.
01:02:00I'll go with you, Paul.
01:02:02I'll go with you, Paul.
01:02:03But it must be now.
01:02:04Not immediately, Cardinal.
01:02:05Why?
01:02:06Professor Meister, he's trying to help me.
01:02:09I'll go with you, Paul.
01:02:10But it must be now.
01:02:11But it must be now.
01:02:12Not immediately, Cardinal.
01:02:15Why?
01:02:16Professor Meister, he's trying to help me.
01:02:19Do what?
01:02:20I'll go with you, Paul, but it must be now.
01:02:24Not immediately, Carla.
01:02:27Why?
01:02:28Professor Meister, he's trying to help me.
01:02:32Do what?
01:02:34Find Magera.
01:02:37Oh, Lord.
01:02:39Oh, Paul, don't stay.
01:02:41If you love me, take me away from here while there's still time.
01:02:43As soon as I can, I promise.
01:02:45Now, Paul, now.
01:02:46It won't be long, Carla.
01:02:49It won't be long.
01:02:56It'll be too late.
01:03:05I must go.
01:03:13I may never see you again.
01:03:15Carla.
01:03:19Oh, Paul.
01:03:21Carla.
01:03:22Carla, listen to me.
01:03:24I may never see you again.
01:03:49Paul!
01:03:51did you recognize him it was ratoff one of the attendants of the hospital perhaps in future you'll
01:03:57be good enough to tell me where you're going but why did ratoff try to kill me i suggest you ask dr
01:04:01namoroff that
01:04:31so
01:05:01so
01:05:31carla
01:06:01have you seen carla go into her room
01:06:31carla hoffman probationary nurse here in 1903
01:06:53in 1905 believed to be suffering from loss of memory in other words amnesia
01:06:59it was five years ago
01:07:041906 underwent intensive treatment and was apparently cured meanwhile continued to work in her profession
01:07:15now let's put some of these pieces together
01:07:21the first of the vandorf murders coincided with these attacks of amnesia a condition of which namoroff
01:07:27was well aware ordinarily this would have put an end to her career as a nurse
01:07:34but namoroff as you told me is in love with her
01:07:38just a minute
01:07:40in 1906 namoroff closed the case and stated that she was cured
01:07:45but was she cured i don't think so for what possible reason have you just a moment i'm coming to that
01:07:55she told you that she told you that she was being watched is that correct because namoroff is
01:07:57jealous possibly and possibly also because she still loses her memory around the time of the full moon
01:08:06how do you know that it's all here paul all the dates when the amnesia occurred and
01:08:12reoccurred then you seriously believe it you seriously suspect that carla why shouldn't i
01:08:17i'm not in love with her oh you're mad a young girl as beautiful as carla i'm not making any
01:08:23physical comparisons paul between her and magira magira died 2000 years ago it's her spirit we're
01:08:30concerned with today it's found a resting place in somebody not carla in the cemetery you begged her to
01:08:37go away she refused why she was not ready to leave she couldn't leave paul it was the full moon the
01:08:44spirit of magira was too strong and then today she asked you to take her away didn't she immediately
01:08:53she was frightened of namoroff did you say so yes i'll tell you why she was frightened paul
01:08:58because tonight is the first night of the full moon oh this is guesswork it's monstrous
01:09:05circumstantial utterly without reason i should have taken her away i only stayed because i thought
01:09:10you needed me i do need you paul oh no not after this all you need is somebody to agree with you
01:09:16then what are you trying to do to me to carla destroy us paul
01:09:35so
01:09:40so
01:09:46so
01:09:48I have to see you again.
01:10:08It's all right.
01:10:09We're going away today.
01:10:12It's too late.
01:10:14Why?
01:10:16Why is it too late?
01:10:18I don't know.
01:10:25I could have gone yesterday.
01:10:30But now I just can't go.
01:10:35It seems we have visitors.
01:10:37You'd better take Carla upstairs.
01:10:39Come on.
01:10:40I wish to see Mr. Height.
01:10:51Will you tell him, please?
01:10:53I take it that you are Dr. Namorov?
01:10:56I am.
01:10:57Come in.
01:11:03My name is Meister, Carl Meister.
01:11:07I've been looking forward to meeting you, Doctor.
01:11:10I'd like to make this brief, if you don't mind.
01:11:12In the early hours of this morning, a young woman was seen in the grounds of this house.
01:11:15Indeed.
01:11:16I have reason to believe she is here now.
01:11:19Is she a patient of yours, Doctor?
01:11:22I am responsible for her.
01:11:24Yes.
01:11:25Yes, of course, an amnesia victim is a great responsibility.
01:11:29What did you say?
01:11:30One never really knows what they're capable of, does one.
01:11:33They might even commit murder during one of their lapses.
01:11:36And no one would be any the wiser.
01:11:40Where is Carla?
01:11:41She is not here.
01:11:43You're lying.
01:11:45Search the house.
01:11:51I warn you not to obstruct the law.
01:11:53I have a search warrant.
01:12:03Mr. Height.
01:12:04If she is not found, I shall charge you with her abduction.
01:12:07On what grounds?
01:12:10I can produce the evidence.
01:12:13Speaking of evidence, Doctor Nomeroff,
01:12:16perhaps you'll be good enough to return this to Mr. Ratoff with my compliments.
01:12:21He left it behind him when he attempted to kill Mr. Height yesterday.
01:12:25What are you insinuating?
01:12:27I'm not insinuating anything, Doctor.
01:12:30You sent Ratoff to follow Carla to the castle Borski,
01:12:33where she met Paul.
01:12:35When she left, Ratoff attempted to kill Paul with this knife.
01:12:40Why do you want Paul out of the way, Nomeroff?
01:12:42Is it because you're afraid he'll take Carla away from you?
01:12:45Or is it because you think he'll find out about the secret that you share with Ratoff?
01:12:49Answer me!
01:12:49How dare you!
01:12:53Take your hands off me!
01:12:55Professor Meister, you don't release the doctor this instant.
01:12:57I won't hesitate to shoot.
01:13:04Well?
01:13:05She's not in the house.
01:13:07Have you looked in every room?
01:13:09Everywhere.
01:13:10The attic!
01:13:11Have you searched the attic?
01:13:12She's not there.
01:13:23Where is she, Paul?
01:13:26I told them the truth.
01:13:28Where has she gone?
01:13:29In about an hour's time, there's a train for Leipzig.
01:13:32She will be on it.
01:13:34Have you arranged for somewhere for her to stay in Leipzig, Paul?
01:13:38She will be at the Hotel Kramer.
01:13:40And you will be joining her there?
01:13:43When we've found Megera.
01:13:45You should have gone with her.
01:13:49I was very tempted.
01:13:50Why didn't you?
01:13:52You came here because of me.
01:13:54When we've found Megera, then I shall join Carla in Leipzig.
01:13:56You shouldn't depend on that, Paul.
01:13:59She won't reach Leipzig.
01:14:02She won't even be on the train.
01:14:03You're still persisting in this preposterous theory.
01:14:06Of course, if they find her before she reaches the station,
01:14:08then I shall approve nothing.
01:14:09If, however, she does reach the station,
01:14:11she will be in Leipzig this evening at five o'clock.
01:14:14In which case, I suggest you telephone the Hotel Kramer about 5.30.
01:14:24Come in.
01:14:27Any news?
01:14:28No, sir.
01:14:29The police will be giving up in an hour.
01:14:30Giving up?
01:14:31They won't search after dark.
01:14:32It's a full moon, Dr. Namorov.
01:14:34The second night of the full moon.
01:14:37You haven't forgotten it's the night Megera usually strikes.
01:14:41Get out.
01:14:51Come on.
01:14:58Come on.
01:14:59You're quite sure?
01:15:07Yes, thank you.
01:15:10She hasn't arrived.
01:15:13They must have caught her before she got to the station.
01:15:15I don't.
01:15:15I hope for your sake, Paul, that I'm wrong, but we're looking for the truth.
01:15:19But the fact that she hasn't arrived proves nothing.
01:15:21Nothing at all.
01:15:21But do we discard my theory simply because it upsets your scheme of things,
01:15:24or do we go on looking for the truth?
01:15:27Well, she's out there somewhere.
01:15:28I'm going to look for her.
01:15:29Wait, Paul.
01:15:30Now it's time.
01:15:31It'll be dark.
01:15:31Wait until the morning.
01:15:32Paul!
01:15:33Paul, you won't find Carla.
01:15:34Get out of my way.
01:15:35I am sorry, Paul, but I can't let you destroy yourself.
01:16:05I am sorry, Paul, but I can't let you destroy yourself.
01:16:35I am sorry, Paul, but I can't let you destroy yourself.
01:17:05What the devil do you want?
01:17:13I have a warrant for the arrest of Paul Heights.
01:17:15On what charge?
01:17:16The abduction of Carla Hoffman.
01:17:18Oh, that's ridiculous.
01:17:19You saw for yourself that she wasn't in the house.
01:17:21Will you please inform Mr. Heights?
01:17:22I'll give him five minutes to get dressed.
01:17:24He's not there.
01:17:48Well, where is he?
01:17:49I haven't the slightest idea, Inspector.
01:17:52Professor, you will accompany me to the police station.
01:17:54I shall have no such thing.
01:17:55Bring him along.
01:17:56Come on.
01:18:07I shall have no such thing.
01:18:09I am waiting for Carla, Mr. Hygnes.
