Subtitles by Nostromo
Well,Maria,what's the matter?
You found a man under your bed at last?
Oh stop my dear,
make me get down
No I'm on my way,let me go up
No,not up there and don't you go either
Maria,what's the matter?
Whatever happened to you?
The organ I heard it playing again
Oh,Maria what are you
talking about,what organ?
The organ at the studio I heard it played
I knocked
There was no answer
But the music suddenly stopping
And when I looked inside the room was empty
And then I went bonkers
Don't be silly Maria,it's
the schnapps you drink
There's no one up there,and the
organ doesn't work anyway
It was probably rats
Rats don't play the organ
Oh,they squeeze and ??
Ah
Oh,stop try to frighten me
Come up and I'll show you how silly you are
No,not up there
But why? You're not afraid
of an organ,are you?
Oh,and besides
I got some of those cakes you wanted
Come on up with you
I only go outside the door
You see there's no one here
And no organ music
But I heard the organ played
Well,now you can see for yourself
No one has sighted those notes for months
But anyway what are
you doing in here at all?
You knew you were told to stay out of here
What should I want to come in here for?
Mr Garrie told me to get the
bed ready in the gallery room
Why?
Is Mr Charles going to sleep here?
And then when I go to the
door I heard the organ again
Then I opened the door and there was no one
No one
So I run
But
When did Monsieur Charles
tell you to do this
What did he say exactly?
He told me yesterday,you wouldn't
have got me up here otherwise
Why?
Monsieur Charles has
never slept here before
How should I know
Well,you'd better get on with it
Here are your cakes
You leave that alone
Get on and get your bed ready
If you want something else to do why on
earth don't you clean up this place a bit
Why don't I clean the place up?
Because I have been particularly
told not to,that's why
Everything must be left just
as it was when Minetti was here
Did Monsieur Charles say that?
Yes he did,that's you up,doesn't it?
That's how he wants it,
that's how it's got to to be
But if you ask me,he's mad
Mad like all artists
At least you might have
done a bit of dusting
It would take more than
me to clean up this room
There's more than dust and dirt
swept away when the room is clean
There is the ordinary dust
And then there is the other sort
Which settles on the soul
Evil thoughts and evil deeds
This studio has it more than it's share
Look at it
Getting thicker and thicker every day
Good stuff
But wait until the dust settles and then
And what good will it be then?
Don't you feel it smoothing falling
off on that white skin of yours
Good stuff too but the dust lasts longer
I repeat all the machinery
of the police can do has been done
And still we are not satisfied
That's why we..
The last resort you come to me
-Hardly flattering
-On the contrary my dear friend
Here we realize if we are out of our depth
So to whom do we call for help?
To France's most famous criminologist
Very flattering
But I still cannot see
why the Minetti case should come
within the scope of my knowledge
It involves a young man
called Charles Garrie
His model Lucille Lindbeck
is I believe of your many
Protegees
Her father was an old friend of mine
He asked me to keep an eye
on her when she first came to Paris
She went to work with
Garrie about six months ago
And I met them several times afterwards
Yes he has a studio off
the Boulevard St Michel
But how does he came into the case?
Well,he doesn't work there any more
He now works in a studio in
the end of the Impasse de Vauve
What's strange about that?
This
The studio where he now
works is the old Minetti studio
He moved in just as soon
as Minetti was dead
He took great care as everything
should be left just as it was
Nothing has been touched
Exactly he pays for it to fall into bits
Eccentric perhaps but I
can see nothing wrong in it
Maybe not
But got it from the neighbours
say that his manners is suspicious
And of course we know he was on
very intimate terms with the girl
Was he?
Well
I promise nothing but
I'll see what I can do
I thought you would
I think I have a friendly talk
with my young friend Lucille
Merci
It such a relief to me you come back
I was getting really worried
Charles says he is all
right but I know he is ill
Very ill
But I know you can help him
Don't worry,my dear,
we'll see what we can do
-So you will come then?
-I'll come
Thank you
You are both still in that
studio off the Boulevard?
Yes,we nearly always work in the other one
-Impasse des Fauves
-Yes,the studio at the end
Hello,Charles
Sorry I'm late
That's all right
So was I
Life is bad anyway
I don't know what is wrong with me
This is not working not at all well
Turn a little to the light will you?
-Is that better?
-Yes,like that
-Tired
-Little
I think you are overworking
Oh,I don't think so
Charles,you're not sleeping are you?
Why can't we go away again?
Somewhere in the sun,
the weather is lovely now
Got to be wonderful in that little village,
the sea was so brilliant and peaceful
Let's stop working for
a while just be together
What the devil are you doing up there?
I told you to get that ready yesterday
The whole place is falling to bits,
I'm responsible to the landlord
I told her I told you
Mind your own business
I pay the rent,don't I?
Get out and stay out
-You cant talk to me like that I..
-Get out
Asch was
What was Maria doing up there?
Cleaning up I suppose
I thought you told her not to
Did she tell you that?
Yes
She's made the bed up there
-What for?
-Has she?
I must have told her I suppose
Charles,you are not going
to live here,are you?
I don't know
I thought I might
I wish you wouldn't
No good can possibly come of it
It's a hateful place
Even Maria is scared stiff
to come in here on her own
Is she why?
Oh,nothing she said she heard noises
or something but she was possibly drunk
Did she described the noises?
What noises?
The noises she said she heard,
did she describe them?
Oh,Charles,surely you don't believe
Did she describe the noises or didn't she?
Hello
How is the great sculptor
and the charming model?
I didn't know you were back
We are all right
Just been at the Salon
and as I didn't see anything of yours there
I thought I should come over and
find where you are hiding them
I didn't send anything this year
The muses are out of you
Nothing I like well enough
Let's see the present of them
Pretty awful
Is that meant to be Lucille's shoulder?
Yes,don't you like it?
I admire both of them tremendously
but if that is meant to be one of
them she should sue you for libel
This clay is devilishly hard
I'm so pleased you come
Charles even decided to sleep here now
-You'll talk to him
-Leave it to me
What are you two whispering about?
About love
How are you keeping
yourself these days,my friend?
Oh,I'm all right
-Sleeping well?
-Good
-Eating?
-Perfectly
You look to me as you haven't
slept or eaten well for a week
Simple about me I'm all right
No you are not,come on now,
what's on your mind?
Now look here,are you my
friend or my doctor?
Both
Oh,I see you won't let me do any more work
today,Lucille,get dressed,we are finished
When did you sleep last?
-Monday
And eat?-Can't
Drink a brandy I suppose,
got to stop that,you know
How?
Away from here
That's impossible
Nothing is impossible for
a man in your state
I'll tell you it's out of the question
Now,you listen to me
I know what I'm talking about
For some reason rather
you are in a pretty bad state
go on as you are doing,
you are heading for a breakdown
The mind ,my friend,has the most
delicate balance in the world
Push it too far and..
-Charles,you must take a leave
-I can't
-Why not
-I have my reasons
They can't be as urgent as mine
At least get out of this studio
Why do you say that?
Well,look at the place
Why did you leave your own comfortable
studio and come and live in this morgue
You felt it too?
Felt what?
Oh,nothing
Charles why won't you let me
do for you what I would do any ??
Come on now
Tell me what's on your mind?
You've got money,talent and Lucille
Who obviously is very much in love with you
Charles
Lucille,you can go home
What's the matter? She's only
gone to sleep,she often does
It's common in models,
it's holding the pose I think
Yes,possible
Lucille
Lucille
What's the matter?
Before our eyes you fell
asleep again that's all
You can get dressed and go
home we are finished for the day
Let's go home,I'll take care of Charles
Ivan
Sit down
Well,what is it?
Charles
How long was I asleep?
Oh,about five minutes I suppose
I'll tell you later
I had a horrid dream
A dream? That's most interesting,
can you recall that dream?
No
No I can't
I can't talk about it
It's before I come here
But so vivid,it seemed real
Hideous,evil forms closing
down on me,suffocating me
-Same time tomorrow,Charles?
-Yes,darling
Charles,dear,I'm so worried about you
I wish you wouldn't sleep
in the bedroom here
Don't worry about me,Lucille,
everything will work out all right
Just trust
See you tomorrow morning
Perfect
I do not know what I
would do without that girl
Things she does for me
What she gets out of it,isn't it?
A treat her abominable
I snap at her,I'm rude
I used not to be like this,Ivan
I don't even feel like myself
I feel like I belong to another world
Lucille used to be able
to pull me out of it
Now everyday the feeling grows stronger
Go on
You're right,Ivan
I am ill
I know I'm ill
But admit won't do any good
You've got something
on your mind,haven't you?
Won't you like to tell me about it?
No,no,no,calm,relax and sit by me
Do you remember a sculptor named Minetti?
Minetti?
Yes
Did you know him?
Yes I did,in fact this
used to be his studio
Minetti? Yes I remember him well
Died about a year ago
Of course,I was present at the autopsy
Advanced paranoia
Most interesting case
Well
It was about two years ago
He just married a young
woman called Christine Renoir
Anyway he had gone some
form of ceremony with her
I didn't know them then
Christine told me later that
she met him a ballet school
Most interesting a ballet school?
Stop it,stop this noise
What's this noise,you ought
to be ashamed of yourselves
You behave like another
street urchins instead of ladies
Go on to your bars get
ready to do some work
Fifth,fifth,come on
All???
Right,now warm up,and warm up with some
drawn on that one will you play it again?
Warm up with some grande battment
Chord
And,one,two,three
Up with the arms
Polonaise
Together
One jambe
I suppose you think it is good
I think it's terrible
go on get to your bars and pirouettes
that's it the only reasonable
you are doing is writhe
Good heavens,ridiculous
There,that's the one,the
girl over there by the mirror
Yes I see
That's Christine Renoir
I call her
Christine,dear
Yes,Madame
Come over here a minute
Christine,dear,this is an old
friend of mine,Monsieur Minetti
Monsieur is a well known sculptor
And he thinks you'll be honoured
of wanting you to pose for him
He's doing some figures from the ballet
and he picked on you as being
an ideal ballet dancer
He'll pay you of course
You could do with a little extra money,mm?
You are very kind,Monsieur
But I have no experience,
do you think I'll be all right?
You don't need any experience,my dear
as a matter of fact,the less
experience the better
I'll do all the work,all you
have to do is to stand still
a little irksome perhaps,
but not uncomfortable
And now let me have a good
look at you,Mademoiselle
Charming
Charming,turn around,will you?
On your toes
Yes,perfect
That's settled then
When do you want her to start?
Of course it could not
interfere with her work
She's free two afternoons a week
Go back to your practice now my dear
And I'll arrange with Monsieur
when you can go to his studio
Thank you Madame
Quite another leg,quite another leg,
you've been resting all the time
Come into your positions
and be ready for the adage
In positions for the adage
Developez all the bras,right
Go on
What about her family?
Are they going to be all right?
No need for trouble like that,Monsieur
This girl is an orphan
She has no parents
A little money which pays for her training
-Quite alone
-How convenient
An orphan
We understand each other,don't we,Madame?
She worked with him
on and off for some time
He appeared to excite an
extraordinary influence over her
She was the only model he used
And he turned out a
lot of little figures of Christine
Always in???
Hold your arms up
He sold many of them which
was seen all over Paris
It was a few months later
And do not despair Mademoiselle,
it might be much worse
Your heart it is not permanently injured
Only strained
Take things easily and you
may never have another attack
And perhaps,one couldn't tell
In a few years you may be able
to continue with your dancing
A few years?
But then it will be too late
What am I going to do ???
What indeed
A most unfortunate situation,my dear
A ballet dancer who can't dance
You have no parents,have you?
No money either
Paris offers cold comfort
to penniless prudes
This studio
You have been happy here?
Why not regard it as your home
No,no,my dear,you misunderstand me,
I mean I shall be completely bourgeois
You want me to marry you?
And why not?
It was shortly after the
marriage I first met them
It was here in the studio
but it was of course it was
very different to what it is now
And yet he was holding a private exhibition
He had a certain talent,
nothing really outstanding
but his work had a charm
and a quality of its own
My wife,Monsieur Garrie
The exhibition is a great success
From the moment we saw each other there
was a feeling of sympathy between us
Do you think he would
agree to make a bust of me?
She was obviously most unhappy
Speak to him about it,eh?
Oh,yes,Madame,I will most certainly
I'd so much like to have one of his works
I felt strangely drawn to her
And we met frequently
It was about six months later
When the first visible change
begun to come over Minetti
He's given up his regular style of work
and started on the most morbid
and grotesque subjects
Why do you make such horrid things,Anton?
Horrid?
You prefer these,do you?
Sentimental rubbish
Oh,Anton,I fail you
Hello,Anton,hello Christine,oh an accident
-What do you want?
-Nothing,just a visit
Eh,did I invite you?
Really,Anton,what's the matter with you?
Then,good evening
Good Lord,what's happen to Anton?
I said,good evening
Good evening
Meet me in five minutes
in the Cafe Nouvelle Ouefs
All right
What's happened,what's wrong with Anton?
I don't know,I don't understand it
Something terrible has come
over him and frightened
He hardly ever speaks to me,just looks
and the organ,he plays the organ,
all the time,always the same tune
-When did all this start?
-A few weeks ago
Do you think he knows about us?
-You mean that we've been meeting?
-Yes
No,I'm sure of it,but that's
got nothing to do with it,it's him
There's something matter with him
Sounds I think he's going mad
-Thank you
-Monsieur
Christine
Why do you put up with a life like this?
You owe this man nothing
You never loved him or he you
He
There's so much that we could do together
Oh,Charles, you are a darling
But it did never work,he'll
never let me get away from him
Where ever we went he'll find us
I'd think he rather kill me than
let me get away from him
I must go now,get back before he returns
When can I see you again?
He's going away tomorrow,
I can see you on Thursday
Where is he going to?
I don't know,he never tells me,just go
Does he?
Very well then,on Thursday
Here,same time and don't you be late
I decided to find out what Minetti was
doing so the next day I followed him
He went to a small village outside Paris
A splendid day I felt I had real genius
A few more sittings and we'll be finished
I am glad
When are you coming back?
You know what happens to little
girls who ask questions,don't you?
I am changed out here,alone at night
I'm frightened
I don't like the country
And then all this new
studio which terrifies me
And with all your weird things
Why can't I have someone to
stay with me when you are away?
Because I won't have people
spying on me,that's why
Everyone wants to spy on me
And I won't be spied on
Answer me,when will you
take me to Paris,like you promised?
When I am ready
I won't stay here any longer
I'll go away
You go away,will you? That's interesting
Where to?
Back to the gutter,
where I found you,I suppose
Don't worry,my dear
I'm arranging for you to come to Paris
And soon
So that was the explanation
Well after that I was more determined
than ever to persuade Tina to leave him
If he ever saw us together until one
night we went to a fancy dress party
Strange how thing would worked out
Lucille was at that party
You think it will be all right
Yes,dear,don't worry this is the Right Bank
We shan't meet anyone we know
here it's just old Jo-JO,we can trust him
-You do want to go,don't you?
-Yes,you know I do,I just wondering with it
You look adorable
You know,Tina, we make
life very difficult for ourselves
Let's stock this whole in
the corner of distance
I've decided not to listen
anymore of your fears
-But it's..
-Or objections,we'll go away
Quite away,out of Paris,out of the country
Do you want to,don't you?
Why do you ask?
Thank you
We'll go to Marseille and
get shipped to southwards
My dear Christine
My beautiful ???
And Charles,my dear friend,what a party!
All the noise
And the figures do you like it?
Now come along here
Out of the way
Make way for two new guests
Come along
Here's darling Christina and Charles
She will be happy with the ??
Lucille
Oh my beautiful Lucille
Come back to my ???,my darling
And the act will seem poor
Come on my friends,come and eat
Enjoy yourselves girls as busy as ever
Enjoying yourself?
Jo-Jo
Who is that?
That? My dear Lucille,you've never
been to one of my parties before
You see,you and I and most of the
people here belong to the Right Bank
But there are one or two from the Left Bank
And Charles Garrie is one
Of course, it'll take a few weeks
to get a few things to arrange
I shall have to get all
my material together
Now get my things out gradually
without him knowing
Oh Charles
You see,he and Christine,well
Do you know,my dear,I hate to
step in and spoil it wouldn't you?
Remember we are artists
as well as gentlemen
We must fight a proper
duel,an artist's duel
Come on
Quiet please
Quiet
Quiet!
On the word one,salute
On the word two,en guarde
On the word three,commence
Are you ready
One
Two
Three
Charles,look,that man over
there,keeps on staring at me
I didn't see anyone
Charles,let's go,I'm frightened
But,Tina,don't be ridiculous
Undress
It was soon after that
that something happened
that made me realize
I had to get Tina away as soon as possible
Minetti had returned
He smashed all the figures
of her in the studio
He started feverishly
working on a new subject
Hello
You don't appear to care for it,Christine
It's a pity
Because it's going to be my masterpiece
And then you never were not much
a judge of art,were you?
Nor of anything else,what's that matter
An very silly girl
And very filly girl indeed
It must be just a co-incidence
But Charles,don't you see,it
can't possible be a co-incidence,it is me
A horrible character showed of me,
every detail and linen and everything
He must have seen us and this is
his way of killing,but he knows
Yes I
He'll do something awful to me,
I know he will,the way he looks at me
Oh,Charles,take me away
We'll leave tonight
But must be careful
There is one or two things I must do first
now listen what you must do,
go back as nothing
-No,not that Charles
-Now seriously be reasonable
We must be careful
We must have said nothing
I want us to be well on our way out
of Paris before he even misses you
I suppose you are right
Go back,get the best
of your things together
When he goes out for his evening drink
slip out and meet me in the
Gare du Nord at six and let me take this
There's a train that's go back 615 and 620
I leave you there with my mother
She'll take care of you
And then in a few days
we'll leave for the South
I wish we could go now
Dearest,do trust me
There's so many things to do
there's passports,money,remember we are
going away for good and leaving no trace
Very well,Gare du Nord at six
-Under the clock
-Under the clock
Don't you be late
Monsieur
I couldn't make it out
So thinking that something
gone wrong with our plans
I decided to wait in the Impasse
in case she slipped down later
I spent a useless and miserable night
When morning came I returned home
Later I went to Minetti's studio
Oh,Charles,how nice of
you to have called,come in,come in
-Is Christine well?
-Oh,yes,only a passing headache,you know
But sit down,dear chap
she's around somewhere,
would love to see you
you don't mind if I go on working,do you?
Oh,not at all
What are you doing?
A symbolic subject
The pipes of pear I call it
Haven't made Pan very attractive,have you?
My dear fellow,you've missed
the subtlety of the thing
When real life seldom is,is it?
No I suppose it isn't
Do you go to the exhibition of Carnot?
No, I keep myself very
much to myself these days
Will Christine be long do you think?
My dear chap,forgive me,a shocking ??
-A glass of wine?
-Thanks
You know I'm really very
grateful to you Charles
You've given up so much of
your time to the dear girl
So she tells me
-Ah,good morning,Maria
-Good morning,Monsieur
Please stay below
But Monsieur
I will attend to it later
Later? Always later
But I brought you up some coal
Thank you
It's nearly empty
You have burnt a lot
The coal man comes today,
shall I get you some?
Yes,yes,anything the usual
Tina didn't arrive so I
made an excuse and left
I was sure there was something
sinister behind Minetti's behaviour
So I hang around the Impasse
waiting for her to return
I waited most of the day
She never appeared
Then I got really alarmed
and made enquiries in all the
places she might have gone
And no one had seen her
Several days passed
And I could not find no trace of her
Finally I was foolish
enough to go to the police
I'm afraid it's hardly a
matter for the police,Monsieur
If what you say is true and
this woman has disappeared
surely her husband would have come to us
She is a married woman,no I'm sorry
There is nothing we can do
I didn't no which way to turn
I finally decided to go to Minetti and
make a clean breast of the whole thing
Tell him Tina and I loved each
other and ask for her release
I must go to the girl
There is nothing you can do,Monsieur
Now if you don't go away I
shall be forced to arrest you
What happened,Madame?
He's murdered her,that's what happened
-What are you saying?
-Hear,leave me alone
You're as mad as he was
Tina
I seemed to die in that moment
I'd became demented
I felt I had to see her again
That night I went to the morgue
Monsieur
May I see the body of Madame Minetti?
Come in,Monsieur,come in
See the other three
gentlemen came to see me
the floor is hard and he
spent a quite a while here
Sit down
You have made me something,
Monsieur,won't you?
I was just popping out to
supper when Monsieur rang
and I thought,it was another customer
but I am glad I am glad in seeing you
I have so sense for anyone who can
talk,and I love to talk
Some wine?
Don't worry,Naughte is a very good
wine,excellent wine
and you must try the cheese too
I've got a lovely delicious cheese,
I bought it fresh this morning
Keeps so well in here,
you know,I keep it here
Under this lap
-But I came to see
-Of course
Yes,Monsieur,what a shocking cause
It comes of being so much alone,you know
Minetti? Oh yes I remember
Madame Minetti she
She kept an ?? in Rue de Frere,
a very good wine she used to sell
Very. But that was before
your time,let me see
It was
I want to see the girl who was
murdered in the Impasse
Oh,that one,certainly,I put her
over there by the window
It's the best place you know,I always
put the pretty one by the window
I'm sorry you don't want
to have some cheese
But come on,Monsieur
I,I'll show you
A very sad case,Monsieur
Very sad,indeed
A beautiful face
Don't you think,Monsieur?
It's a bit bruises around
the throat show up so much
Apart from that a perfect specimen
I don't get many perfect
specimen these days,you see
The last time I..
Don't you feel well,Monsieur?
This is not Madame Minetti
Let me out of here
I'm so sorry,Monsieur
Don't you want to stay and talk with me?
People so seldom talk these
days and I love to talk
It was the woman I've seen with
Minetti's at the village cafe
A very terrible story
Yes but that's not the end
I redoubled my efforts to find Tina
I advertised I combed Paris,
I could find no trace of her
She'd completely vanished
Now the police made enquiries
Fruitless enquiries
And all the time I couldn't help thinking
if I only hadn't made her
go back that night
I can't get it out of my mind
I imagined that she might
have lost her memory
She was wandering around the country
So when the studio was sold out
Knowing it the only home she knew
I took it,lock, stock, and barrel
Nothing has been touched
Her clothes is still there in the bedroom
Everything is just as she left
There was nothing more I could do
I tried to keep my mind
out of the horror of it all
I went back to my work
But without much success
Hello,Jo-Jo,what are you
doing this side of the river?
Well, as Mohammed wouldn't
come to the mountain
the mountain had to come to Mohammed
Why have you deserted me?
-I've been working too hard
-Working too hard
These if there was anything good,that's
not an excuse for deserting your friends
You come here to insult me?
My dear boy do you think
I climb 15 flight of those stairs
merely for the pleasure of insulting you?
No,I brought you the sweetest
loveliest girl who wants to meet you
Heavens know why
Now Lucille,this is Charles Garrie
Charles Garrie,Lucille Lindbeck
How do you do,Mademoiselle
I saw you at Jo-Jo's party some months ago
You model,Mademoiselle?
Surely you must know that Lucille Lindbeck
is the most famous model of our quarter
You ought to feel very flattered that
she's come to your studio
-Why? When Gaston Claire..
-Perhaps,Monsieur has already a model
I've been working without one
Up till now I preferred my own company
You mean you'll model for me?
Really,Charles,what do
you think she's come for,you idiot?
You might stand in the portal light
Take your hat off
A little more to the left,please
More?
Thank you
It was really she who kept
me for losing my reason
A charming patience with me did
much to restore my piece of mind
Constantly but all this in
shadow of Tina came between us
What's the matter?
Don't you like it,dear?
It's lovely
Charles,what come over you?
I haven't done anything,have I?
It's not you,darling
What has happened?
I know it wasn't she
It was the voice of Tina
which kept hammering in my
brain telling me to come back
This feeling of Tina's
presence grew so strong
that I found myself impaled come
and work in the studio where she has lived
The more I worked here
the stronger grew the conviction
that one day she would return
Some day she will return
I know it
My dear friend,I do not want to seem unkind
But it is not far more
likely that she is dead
It's now more than a year
Put beside all these morbid thoughts
Go away from here
Marry Lucille
She adores you and would
make you an excellent wife
You still don't understand
With this shadow hanging
over me what can I do?
I can't ask Lucille to
share this horror with me
Can't you see until I
know I have no future?
Solution is here
Here in this room
I feel it
I know it
One day alive or dead
She will come back
That where madness lie
These morbid thoughts naturally only is
encouraged by these unnatural surroundings
I tell you get out of here
Go away with Lucille and
these imaginings will cease
That's just did,it's not imaginations,
things happen in this room
Strange inexplicable things,not only me,
other people have heard them too
What sort of things?
The organ plays,Maria has heard it
These things are naturally
very simply explained
You've got an organ in this room,
someone must been playing it
Impossible,it doesn't work
Then these noises are
probably not the organ
but water pipes,wind,echoes,many
things could sound like an organ
That's not all
Something much more strange than that
Do you see this lamp?
Well,every night at eleven o'clock
This lamp begins to flicker
It burns slower,then goes out
Can be many reasons for that
Lack of oil, a draft,faulty
burner and coincidence
Don't you think I haven't
though of all that
I shielded it,changed the oil,
put in new wicks
But still at eleven it goes out
You think I'm going mad maybe
By living too long in
these morbid surroundings
you begin to hear and feel
things that do not exist
Do you think I'm having delusions?
I see
If you saw for yourself
would you believe it then?
That's it,come back here
tonight and see for yourself
And you'll know that I am not going mad
Will you come,Ivan?
Yes I come but on one condition that you
came and have a good dinner before
That's a bargain
Heavens,this place look
bad enough by daylight
but now you certainly provide it the right
setting to make me believe anything
Like the lamp
When did you say this phenomena occurs?
Exactly at 11 pm
Still a few minutes to go
You know,Charles
I'm not at all sure
That I'm doing the right thing and
encouraging you in this nonsense
Wait,you'll see
I'm glad the stove kept in,some cold night
Are there any other studios
in this building occupied?
No,they are empty
What are you doing up here?
I saw a light coming from you
when I ordered the hall so I came
up to see that's my job,isn't it?
Get out and don't come up here again
No wait a minute,Madame
I've something to ask you
I'll talk to you but not to him
Monsieur Charles tells me that you
are hearing organ music here in this room
Yes,I do
I hear it all times
And not a soul in the studio,mind you
Is there anything particular
about this music,can you describe it?
You know the tune
Yes,can you tell us the tune
Cruel against an old woman
I've no learning of music
Can you hum it or sing it?
I'm no singer either
But not that when I was a young girl
On the tune
That's it
Charles are you sure someone is
not trying to have some joke on you?
Well,anybody who could possibly
be interested in scaring you out of here?
What do you mean?
Let's have a look at the organ
Very strange
The lamp,now you'll see
-There's a body on your
-Stop it
Fool,screaming like that
because the lamp goes out
Now do you believe me?
Well?
The possibility is there
Violent deeds,violent emotions can leave
an impression on a room or an object
Something has made such
an impression on this room
Some power concentrated some object
But where is that power?
I have it
We must have a seance here
Here in this room,and
the power is at its highest
That way,and that way only
can we solve the mystery
A medium is a living bridge
across which this spirit there is
beyond powerful to this one
-If Tina is dead I shall see her
-That is possible
No,I don't like it
There is danger I admit
But only to the medium
If one of experience is brave
I know the very woman let's try tomorrow
Don't let us do this,Ivan
I have a presentiment that
something terrible will happen
Leave it to me
The whole affair puzzles me deeply
And I am sorry now I took it on
But why?
I like Charles Garrie
And as I told you I feel I have
some responsibility with that girl Lucille
Does she come into the story?
Not yet but
Unless Charles Garrie is
a remarkably fine actor
he is in a highly neurotic condition
Besides a psychic element
has now come into it
Now what do you mean?
Spooks,ghosts,the supernatural
This is ridiculous
Not so ridiculous as you may suppose
Our senses have their limits,very limit
But are we to seriously believe
that nothing exist beyond
the limit of our senses
Anyhow Charles believes he
has experienced supernatural
And that belief I propose to
exploit to our advantage
How?
By holding a seance in his studio
In fact I have already arranged
But you don't seriously believe
What I may believe or not
believe does not enter into it
Because in this case a result of
the seance has been prearranged
-Ah,fake medium
-Certainly not
Madame Kadowa is a medium,a very famous one
But in this case she has agreed to help me
Well,I am still utterly in the dark
Well,I believe it'll be my explicit
What Madame said,and I
suppose ??,in Garrie's state of mind
I hope to trap him into
revealing the whole truth
Highly indigenous but suppose we fail
Then no harm has been done and in any
case we maybe backing up the wrong tree
Near to hold your nose
There is that possibility
There is another possibility,my friend
There are more things
in heaven and earth,remember?
What help do you need?
Two men in the building tonight
Light more candles,quick
What have you done,
Madame,everything is spoilt
I must leave the place
Somebody tried to kill me
I am suffocated let me go,let me go
-I got to get out of here
-Will you pull together,Madame
Let me go,let me go
What things haven't ? happened,
you knew what you had to do
Don't you know?
Didn't you feel the presence
I never had such experience before
Evil,evil
Nothing will induce him to
? at his heart,nothing
You mean there is something here?
Are you ready for us,Monsieur
No,you can go back
I told you we should never had done this
Charles,my friend,can you forgive me?
What happened?
A rare case
But the development on you was possible
What do you mean?
It's a psychic condition,
difficult to explain
It sometimes happens that
medium is out of tune with the control
When the influence is too
strong the trance is broken
Sometimes with dangerous
effect to the medium
Such a condition occurred just now
I see and now what do we do?
Find another medium of course
No,I won't any more of it
Charles,we must
I can't tell you why
But we have gone so far,
there isn't going back
We must find another medium
Someone more sensitive to the influence
No
What a fool I've been
Why didn't I realize it before?
Her eyes,the very confirmation of her
head,everything proclaims to medium
What are you talking about?
You will see I've got the very
woman,tomorrow night
Tomorrow night will bring the solution
Lucille what are you doing here?
Lucille is going to help us
Look,I won't hear it
I had no idea it was Lucille
Ivan you must be mad
I love you,I won't have her
dragged her into the scene
That's the very reason that you must
Think man,your future,your
very life is at stake
Besides it's not only you
There is Lucille herself
I told her all
Lucille?
All,she loves you but your
mind is chained to the past
How do you know she is a medium?
Don't you remember when I fell
asleep at the studio while posing?
Yes,what has that do with it?
Can't you see,she was not really asleep
not normal sleep,some influence in
this studio sent her into a trance
Charles,the choice is yours,
between the living and the dead
Charles you said you loved me just now
Then let me go through with this
Very well
If there any harm behold
her,Ivan,I'll kill you
Come
We have no time to lose
What do you want me to do?
Sit down
Your hands like this
Enter your mind of thoughts
Close your eyes
Now
Start breathing
Slowly
Steeply
I like you pick you thoughts on Christine
Whatever your hear,what ever happens,
don't get her up,don't say a word
Do I sense a subject?
Anyone here?
Charles,Charles
Oh,Charles I waited so long
I tried so hard
The lamp,the organ
I tried so hard,Charles
Tina
Can you tell us what happened to you?
I will try but you must help me
Think about me,Charles
Think hard about me
I am in a room
Bedroom
Open the door,Christine
In a minute
Wait a minute
You are not thinking
of going out the evening
Are you my little,Christine?
You are not thinking of
leaving you poor old Anton?Are you?
Because he'll never let you go,you know
You don't think that Anton
doesn't know what you are trying to do?
Do you?
Because he's searching now,
he knows all about it
What happened then,please go on
I must know
She is in there now in the plaster
You are coming in here now
Give me the prefect to the police
Subtitles by Nostromo
Well,Maria,what's the matter?
You found a man under your bed at last?
Oh stop my dear,
make me get down
No I'm on my way,let me go up
No,not up there and don't you go either
Maria,what's the matter?
Whatever happened to you?
The organ I heard it playing again
Oh,Maria what are you
talking about,what organ?
The organ at the studio I heard it played
I knocked
There was no answer
But the music suddenly stopping
And when I looked inside the room was empty
And then I went bonkers
Don't be silly Maria,it's
the schnapps you drink
There's no one up there,and the
organ doesn't work anyway
It was probably rats
Rats don't play the organ
Oh,they squeeze and ??
Ah
Oh,stop try to frighten me
Come up and I'll show you how silly you are
No,not up there
But why? You're not afraid
of an organ,are you?
Oh,and besides
I got some of those cakes you wanted
Come on up with you
I only go outside the door
You see there's no one here
And no organ music
But I heard the organ played
Well,now you can see for yourself
No one has sighted those notes for months
But anyway what are
you doing in here at all?
You knew you were told to stay out of here
What should I want to come in here for?
Mr Garrie told me to get the
bed ready in the gallery room
Why?
Is Mr Charles going to sleep here?
And then when I go to the
door I heard the organ again
Then I opened the door and there was no one
No one
So I run
But
When did Monsieur Charles
tell you to do this
What did he say exactly?
He told me yesterday,you wouldn't
have got me up here otherwise
Why?
Monsieur Charles has
never slept here before
How should I know
Well,you'd better get on with it
Here are your cakes
You leave that alone
Get on and get your bed ready
If you want something else to do why on
earth don't you clean up this place a bit
Why don't I clean the place up?
Because I have been particularly
told not to,that's why
Everything must be left just
as it was when Minetti was here
Did Monsieur Charles say that?
Yes he did,that's you up,doesn't it?
That's how he wants it,
that's how it's got to to be
But if you ask me,he's mad
Mad like all artists
At least you might have
done a bit of dusting
It would take more than
me to clean up this room
There's more than dust and dirt
swept away when the room is clean
There is the ordinary dust
And then there is the other sort
Which settles on the soul
Evil thoughts and evil deeds
This studio has it more than it's share
Look at it
Getting thicker and thicker every day
Good stuff
But wait until the dust settles and then
And what good will it be then?
Don't you feel it smoothing falling
off on that white skin of yours
Good stuff too but the dust lasts longer
I repeat all the machinery
of the police can do has been done
And still we are not satisfied
That's why we..
The last resort you come to me
-Hardly flattering
-On the contrary my dear friend
Here we realize if we are out of our depth
So to whom do we call for help?
To France's most famous criminologist
Very flattering
But I still cannot see
why the Minetti case should come
within the scope of my knowledge
It involves a young man
called Charles Garrie
His model Lucille Lindbeck
is I believe of your many
Protegees
Her father was an old friend of mine
He asked me to keep an eye
on her when she first came to Paris
She went to work with
Garrie about six months ago
And I met them several times afterwards
Yes he has a studio off
the Boulevard St Michel
But how does he came into the case?
Well,he doesn't work there any more
He now works in a studio in
the end of the Impasse de Vauve
What's strange about that?
This
The studio where he now
works is the old Minetti studio
He moved in just as soon
as Minetti was dead
He took great care as everything
should be left just as it was
Nothing has been touched
Exactly he pays for it to fall into bits
Eccentric perhaps but I
can see nothing wrong in it
Maybe not
But got it from the neighbours
say that his manners is suspicious
And of course we know he was on
very intimate terms with the girl
Was he?
Well
I promise nothing but
I'll see what I can do
I thought you would
I think I have a friendly talk
with my young friend Lucille
Merci
It such a relief to me you come back
I was getting really worried
Charles says he is all
right but I know he is ill
Very ill
But I know you can help him
Don't worry,my dear,
we'll see what we can do
-So you will come then?
-I'll come
Thank you
You are both still in that
studio off the Boulevard?
Yes,we nearly always work in the other one
-Impasse des Fauves
-Yes,the studio at the end
Hello,Charles
Sorry I'm late
That's all right
So was I
Life is bad anyway
I don't know what is wrong with me
This is not working not at all well
Turn a little to the light will you?
-Is that better?
-Yes,like that
-Tired
-Little
I think you are overworking
Oh,I don't think so
Charles,you're not sleeping are you?
Why can't we go away again?
Somewhere in the sun,
the weather is lovely now
Got to be wonderful in that little village,
the sea was so brilliant and peaceful
Let's stop working for
a while just be together
What the devil are you doing up there?
I told you to get that ready yesterday
The whole place is falling to bits,
I'm responsible to the landlord
I told her I told you
Mind your own business
I pay the rent,don't I?
Get out and stay out
-You cant talk to me like that I..
-Get out
Asch was
What was Maria doing up there?
Cleaning up I suppose
I thought you told her not to
Did she tell you that?
Yes
She's made the bed up there
-What for?
-Has she?
I must have told her I suppose
Charles,you are not going
to live here,are you?
I don't know
I thought I might
I wish you wouldn't
No good can possibly come of it
It's a hateful place
Even Maria is scared stiff
to come in here on her own
Is she why?
Oh,nothing she said she heard noises
or something but she was possibly drunk
Did she described the noises?
What noises?
The noises she said she heard,
did she describe them?
Oh,Charles,surely you don't believe
Did she describe the noises or didn't she?
Hello
How is the great sculptor
and the charming model?
I didn't know you were back
We are all right
Just been at the Salon
and as I didn't see anything of yours there
I thought I should come over and
find where you are hiding them
I didn't send anything this year
The muses are out of you
Nothing I like well enough
Let's see the present of them
Pretty awful
Is that meant to be Lucille's shoulder?
Yes,don't you like it?
I admire both of them tremendously
but if that is meant to be one of
them she should sue you for libel
This clay is devilishly hard
I'm so pleased you come
Charles even decided to sleep here now
-You'll talk to him
-Leave it to me
What are you two whispering about?
About love
How are you keeping
yourself these days,my friend?
Oh,I'm all right
-Sleeping well?
-Good
-Eating?
-Perfectly
You look to me as you haven't
slept or eaten well for a week
Simple about me I'm all right
No you are not,come on now,
what's on your mind?
Now look here,are you my
friend or my doctor?
Both
Oh,I see you won't let me do any more work
today,Lucille,get dressed,we are finished
When did you sleep last?
-Monday
And eat?-Can't
Drink a brandy I suppose,
got to stop that,you know
How?
Away from here
That's impossible
Nothing is impossible for
a man in your state
I'll tell you it's out of the question
Now,you listen to me
I know what I'm talking about
For some reason rather
you are in a pretty bad state
go on as you are doing,
you are heading for a breakdown
The mind ,my friend,has the most
delicate balance in the world
Push it too far and..
-Charles,you must take a leave
-I can't
-Why not
-I have my reasons
They can't be as urgent as mine
At least get out of this studio
Why do you say that?
Well,look at the place
Why did you leave your own comfortable
studio and come and live in this morgue
You felt it too?
Felt what?
Oh,nothing
Charles why won't you let me
do for you what I would do any ??
Come on now
Tell me what's on your mind?
You've got money,talent and Lucille
Who obviously is very much in love with you
Charles
Lucille,you can go home
What's the matter? She's only
gone to sleep,she often does
It's common in models,
it's holding the pose I think
Yes,possible
Lucille
Lucille
What's the matter?
Before our eyes you fell
asleep again that's all
You can get dressed and go
home we are finished for the day
Let's go home,I'll take care of Charles
Ivan
Sit down
Well,what is it?
Charles
How long was I asleep?
Oh,about five minutes I suppose
I'll tell you later
I had a horrid dream
A dream? That's most interesting,
can you recall that dream?
No
No I can't
I can't talk about it
It's before I come here
But so vivid,it seemed real
Hideous,evil forms closing
down on me,suffocating me
-Same time tomorrow,Charles?
-Yes,darling
Charles,dear,I'm so worried about you
I wish you wouldn't sleep
in the bedroom here
Don't worry about me,Lucille,
everything will work out all right
Just trust
See you tomorrow morning
Perfect
I do not know what I
would do without that girl
Things she does for me
What she gets out of it,isn't it?
A treat her abominable
I snap at her,I'm rude
I used not to be like this,Ivan
I don't even feel like myself
I feel like I belong to another world
Lucille used to be able
to pull me out of it
Now everyday the feeling grows stronger
Go on
You're right,Ivan
I am ill
I know I'm ill
But admit won't do any good
You've got something
on your mind,haven't you?
Won't you like to tell me about it?
No,no,no,calm,relax and sit by me
Do you remember a sculptor named Minetti?
Minetti?
Yes
Did you know him?
Yes I did,in fact this
used to be his studio
Minetti? Yes I remember him well
Died about a year ago
Of course,I was present at the autopsy
Advanced paranoia
Most interesting case
Well
It was about two years ago
He just married a young
woman called Christine Renoir
Anyway he had gone some
form of ceremony with her
I didn't know them then
Christine told me later that
she met him a ballet school
Most interesting a ballet school?
Stop it,stop this noise
What's this noise,you ought
to be ashamed of yourselves
You behave like another
street urchins instead of ladies
Go on to your bars get
ready to do some work
Fifth,fifth,come on
All???
Right,now warm up,and warm up with some
drawn on that one will you play it again?
Warm up with some grande battment
Chord
And,one,two,three
Up with the arms
Polonaise
Together
One jambe
I suppose you think it is good
I think it's terrible
go on get to your bars and pirouettes
that's it the only reasonable
you are doing is writhe
Good heavens,ridiculous
There,that's the one,the
girl over there by the mirror
Yes I see
That's Christine Renoir
I call her
Christine,dear
Yes,Madame
Come over here a minute
Christine,dear,this is an old
friend of mine,Monsieur Minetti
Monsieur is a well known sculptor
And he thinks you'll be honoured
of wanting you to pose for him
He's doing some figures from the ballet
and he picked on you as being
an ideal ballet dancer
He'll pay you of course
You could do with a little extra money,mm?
You are very kind,Monsieur
But I have no experience,
do you think I'll be all right?
You don't need any experience,my dear
as a matter of fact,the less
experience the better
I'll do all the work,all you
have to do is to stand still
a little irksome perhaps,
but not uncomfortable
And now let me have a good
look at you,Mademoiselle
Charming
Charming,turn around,will you?
On your toes
Yes,perfect
That's settled then
When do you want her to start?
Of course it could not
interfere with her work
She's free two afternoons a week
Go back to your practice now my dear
And I'll arrange with Monsieur
when you can go to his studio
Thank you Madame
Quite another leg,quite another leg,
you've been resting all the time
Come into your positions
and be ready for the adage
In positions for the adage
Developez all the bras,right
Go on
What about her family?
Are they going to be all right?
No need for trouble like that,Monsieur
This girl is an orphan
She has no parents
A little money which pays for her training
-Quite alone
-How convenient
An orphan
We understand each other,don't we,Madame?
She worked with him
on and off for some time
He appeared to excite an
extraordinary influence over her
She was the only model he used
And he turned out a
lot of little figures of Christine
Always in???
Hold your arms up
He sold many of them which
was seen all over Paris
It was a few months later
And do not despair Mademoiselle,
it might be much worse
Your heart it is not permanently injured
Only strained
Take things easily and you
may never have another attack
And perhaps,one couldn't tell
In a few years you may be able
to continue with your dancing
A few years?
But then it will be too late
What am I going to do ???
What indeed
A most unfortunate situation,my dear
A ballet dancer who can't dance
You have no parents,have you?
No money either
Paris offers cold comfort
to penniless prudes
This studio
You have been happy here?
Why not regard it as your home
No,no,my dear,you misunderstand me,
I mean I shall be completely bourgeois
You want me to marry you?
And why not?
It was shortly after the
marriage I first met them
It was here in the studio
but it was of course it was
very different to what it is now
And yet he was holding a private exhibition
He had a certain talent,
nothing really outstanding
but his work had a charm
and a quality of its own
My wife,Monsieur Garrie
The exhibition is a great success
From the moment we saw each other there
was a feeling of sympathy between us
Do you think he would
agree to make a bust of me?
She was obviously most unhappy
Speak to him about it,eh?
Oh,yes,Madame,I will most certainly
I'd so much like to have one of his works
I felt strangely drawn to her
And we met frequently
It was about six months later
When the first visible change
begun to come over Minetti
He's given up his regular style of work
and started on the most morbid
and grotesque subjects
Why do you make such horrid things,Anton?
Horrid?
You prefer these,do you?
Sentimental rubbish
Oh,Anton,I fail you
Hello,Anton,hello Christine,oh an accident
-What do you want?
-Nothing,just a visit
Eh,did I invite you?
Really,Anton,what's the matter with you?
Then,good evening
Good Lord,what's happen to Anton?
I said,good evening
Good evening
Meet me in five minutes
in the Cafe Nouvelle Ouefs
All right
What's happened,what's wrong with Anton?
I don't know,I don't understand it
Something terrible has come
over him and frightened
He hardly ever speaks to me,just looks
and the organ,he plays the organ,
all the time,always the same tune
-When did all this start?
-A few weeks ago
Do you think he knows about us?
-You mean that we've been meeting?
-Yes
No,I'm sure of it,but that's
got nothing to do with it,it's him
There's something matter with him
Sounds I think he's going mad
-Thank you
-Monsieur
Christine
Why do you put up with a life like this?
You owe this man nothing
You never loved him or he you
He
There's so much that we could do together
Oh,Charles, you are a darling
But it did never work,he'll
never let me get away from him
Where ever we went he'll find us
I'd think he rather kill me than
let me get away from him
I must go now,get back before he returns
When can I see you again?
He's going away tomorrow,
I can see you on Thursday
Where is he going to?
I don't know,he never tells me,just go
Does he?
Very well then,on Thursday
Here,same time and don't you be late
I decided to find out what Minetti was
doing so the next day I followed him
He went to a small village outside Paris
A splendid day I felt I had real genius
A few more sittings and we'll be finished
I am glad
When are you coming back?
You know what happens to little
girls who ask questions,don't you?
I am changed out here,alone at night
I'm frightened
I don't like the country
And then all this new
studio which terrifies me
And with all your weird things
Why can't I have someone to
stay with me when you are away?
Because I won't have people
spying on me,that's why
Everyone wants to spy on me
And I won't be spied on
Answer me,when will you
take me to Paris,like you promised?
When I am ready
I won't stay here any longer
I'll go away
You go away,will you? That's interesting
Where to?
Back to the gutter,
where I found you,I suppose
Don't worry,my dear
I'm arranging for you to come to Paris
And soon
So that was the explanation
Well after that I was more determined
than ever to persuade Tina to leave him
If he ever saw us together until one
night we went to a fancy dress party
Strange how thing would worked out
Lucille was at that party
You think it will be all right
Yes,dear,don't worry this is the Right Bank
We shan't meet anyone we know
here it's just old Jo-JO,we can trust him
-You do want to go,don't you?
-Yes,you know I do,I just wondering with it
You look adorable
You know,Tina, we make
life very difficult for ourselves
Let's stock this whole in
the corner of distance
I've decided not to listen
anymore of your fears
-But it's..
-Or objections,we'll go away
Quite away,out of Paris,out of the country
Do you want to,don't you?
Why do you ask?
Thank you
We'll go to Marseille and
get shipped to southwards
My dear Christine
My beautiful ???
And Charles,my dear friend,what a party!
All the noise
And the figures do you like it?
Now come along here
Out of the way
Make way for two new guests
Come along
Here's darling Christina and Charles
She will be happy with the ??
Lucille
Oh my beautiful Lucille
Come back to my ???,my darling
And the act will seem poor
Come on my friends,come and eat
Enjoy yourselves girls as busy as ever
Enjoying yourself?
Jo-Jo
Who is that?
That? My dear Lucille,you've never
been to one of my parties before
You see,you and I and most of the
people here belong to the Right Bank
But there are one or two from the Left Bank
And Charles Garrie is one
Of course, it'll take a few weeks
to get a few things to arrange
I shall have to get all
my material together
Now get my things out gradually
without him knowing
Oh Charles
You see,he and Christine,well
Do you know,my dear,I hate to
step in and spoil it wouldn't you?
Remember we are artists
as well as gentlemen
We must fight a proper
duel,an artist's duel
Come on
Quiet please
Quiet
Quiet!
On the word one,salute
On the word two,en guarde
On the word three,commence
Are you ready
One
Two
Three
Charles,look,that man over
there,keeps on staring at me
I didn't see anyone
Charles,let's go,I'm frightened
But,Tina,don't be ridiculous
Undress
It was soon after that
that something happened
that made me realize
I had to get Tina away as soon as possible
Minetti had returned
He smashed all the figures
of her in the studio
He started feverishly
working on a new subject
Hello
You don't appear to care for it,Christine
It's a pity
Because it's going to be my masterpiece
And then you never were not much
a judge of art,were you?
Nor of anything else,what's that matter
An very silly girl
And very filly girl indeed
It must be just a co-incidence
But Charles,don't you see,it
can't possible be a co-incidence,it is me
A horrible character showed of me,
every detail and linen and everything
He must have seen us and this is
his way of killing,but he knows
Yes I
He'll do something awful to me,
I know he will,the way he looks at me
Oh,Charles,take me away
We'll leave tonight
But must be careful
There is one or two things I must do first
now listen what you must do,
go back as nothing
-No,not that Charles
-Now seriously be reasonable
We must be careful
We must have said nothing
I want us to be well on our way out
of Paris before he even misses you
I suppose you are right
Go back,get the best
of your things together
When he goes out for his evening drink
slip out and meet me in the
Gare du Nord at six and let me take this
There's a train that's go back 615 and 620
I leave you there with my mother
She'll take care of you
And then in a few days
we'll leave for the South
I wish we could go now
Dearest,do trust me
There's so many things to do
there's passports,money,remember we are
going away for good and leaving no trace
Very well,Gare du Nord at six
-Under the clock
-Under the clock
Don't you be late
Monsieur
I couldn't make it out
So thinking that something
gone wrong with our plans
I decided to wait in the Impasse
in case she slipped down later
I spent a useless and miserable night
When morning came I returned home
Later I went to Minetti's studio
Oh,Charles,how nice of
you to have called,come in,come in
-Is Christine well?
-Oh,yes,only a passing headache,you know
But sit down,dear chap
she's around somewhere,
would love to see you
you don't mind if I go on working,do you?
Oh,not at all
What are you doing?
A symbolic subject
The pipes of pear I call it
Haven't made Pan very attractive,have you?
My dear fellow,you've missed
the subtlety of the thing
When real life seldom is,is it?
No I suppose it isn't
Do you go to the exhibition of Carnot?
No, I keep myself very
much to myself these days
Will Christine be long do you think?
My dear chap,forgive me,a shocking ??
-A glass of wine?
-Thanks
You know I'm really very
grateful to you Charles
You've given up so much of
your time to the dear girl
So she tells me
-Ah,good morning,Maria
-Good morning,Monsieur
Please stay below
But Monsieur
I will attend to it later
Later? Always later
But I brought you up some coal
Thank you
It's nearly empty
You have burnt a lot
The coal man comes today,
shall I get you some?
Yes,yes,anything the usual
Tina didn't arrive so I
made an excuse and left
I was sure there was something
sinister behind Minetti's behaviour
So I hang around the Impasse
waiting for her to return
I waited most of the day
She never appeared
Then I got really alarmed
and made enquiries in all the
places she might have gone
And no one had seen her
Several days passed
And I could not find no trace of her
Finally I was foolish
enough to go to the police
I'm afraid it's hardly a
matter for the police,Monsieur
If what you say is true and
this woman has disappeared
surely her husband would have come to us
She is a married woman,no I'm sorry
There is nothing we can do
I didn't no which way to turn
I finally decided to go to Minetti and
make a clean breast of the whole thing
Tell him Tina and I loved each
other and ask for her release
I must go to the girl
There is nothing you can do,Monsieur
Now if you don't go away I
shall be forced to arrest you
What happened,Madame?
He's murdered her,that's what happened
-What are you saying?
-Hear,leave me alone
You're as mad as he was
Tina
I seemed to die in that moment
I'd became demented
I felt I had to see her again
That night I went to the morgue
Monsieur
May I see the body of Madame Minetti?
Come in,Monsieur,come in
See the other three
gentlemen came to see me
the floor is hard and he
spent a quite a while here
Sit down
You have made me something,
Monsieur,won't you?
I was just popping out to
supper when Monsieur rang
and I thought,it was another customer
but I am glad I am glad in seeing you
I have so sense for anyone who can
talk,and I love to talk
Some wine?
Don't worry,Naughte is a very good
wine,excellent wine
and you must try the cheese too
I've got a lovely delicious cheese,
I bought it fresh this morning
Keeps so well in here,
you know,I keep it here
Under this lap
-But I came to see
-Of course
Yes,Monsieur,what a shocking cause
It comes of being so much alone,you know
Minetti? Oh yes I remember
Madame Minetti she
She kept an ?? in Rue de Frere,
a very good wine she used to sell
Very. But that was before
your time,let me see
It was
I want to see the girl who was
murdered in the Impasse
Oh,that one,certainly,I put her
over there by the window
It's the best place you know,I always
put the pretty one by the window
I'm sorry you don't want
to have some cheese
But come on,Monsieur
I,I'll show you
A very sad case,Monsieur
Very sad,indeed
A beautiful face
Don't you think,Monsieur?
It's a bit bruises around
the throat show up so much
Apart from that a perfect specimen
I don't get many perfect
specimen these days,you see
The last time I..
Don't you feel well,Monsieur?
This is not Madame Minetti
Let me out of here
I'm so sorry,Monsieur
Don't you want to stay and talk with me?
People so seldom talk these
days and I love to talk
It was the woman I've seen with
Minetti's at the village cafe
A very terrible story
Yes but that's not the end
I redoubled my efforts to find Tina
I advertised I combed Paris,
I could find no trace of her
She'd completely vanished
Now the police made enquiries
Fruitless enquiries
And all the time I couldn't help thinking
if I only hadn't made her
go back that night
I can't get it out of my mind
I imagined that she might
have lost her memory
She was wandering around the country
So when the studio was sold out
Knowing it the only home she knew
I took it,lock, stock, and barrel
Nothing has been touched
Her clothes is still there in the bedroom
Everything is just as she left
There was nothing more I could do
I tried to keep my mind
out of the horror of it all
I went back to my work
But without much success
Hello,Jo-Jo,what are you
doing this side of the river?
Well, as Mohammed wouldn't
come to the mountain
the mountain had to come to Mohammed
Why have you deserted me?
-I've been working too hard
-Working too hard
These if there was anything good,that's
not an excuse for deserting your friends
You come here to insult me?
My dear boy do you think
I climb 15 flight of those stairs
merely for the pleasure of insulting you?
No,I brought you the sweetest
loveliest girl who wants to meet you
Heavens know why
Now Lucille,this is Charles Garrie
Charles Garrie,Lucille Lindbeck
How do you do,Mademoiselle
I saw you at Jo-Jo's party some months ago
You model,Mademoiselle?
Surely you must know that Lucille Lindbeck
is the most famous model of our quarter
You ought to feel very flattered that
she's come to your studio
-Why? When Gaston Claire..
-Perhaps,Monsieur has already a model
I've been working without one
Up till now I preferred my own company
You mean you'll model for me?
Really,Charles,what do
you think she's come for,you idiot?
You might stand in the portal light
Take your hat off
A little more to the left,please
More?
Thank you
It was really she who kept
me for losing my reason
A charming patience with me did
much to restore my piece of mind
Constantly but all this in
shadow of Tina came between us
What's the matter?
Don't you like it,dear?
It's lovely
Charles,what come over you?
I haven't done anything,have I?
It's not you,darling
What has happened?
I know it wasn't she
It was the voice of Tina
which kept hammering in my
brain telling me to come back
This feeling of Tina's
presence grew so strong
that I found myself impaled come
and work in the studio where she has lived
The more I worked here
the stronger grew the conviction
that one day she would return
Some day she will return
I know it
My dear friend,I do not want to seem unkind
But it is not far more
likely that she is dead
It's now more than a year
Put beside all these morbid thoughts
Go away from here
Marry Lucille
She adores you and would
make you an excellent wife
You still don't understand
With this shadow hanging
over me what can I do?
I can't ask Lucille to
share this horror with me
Can't you see until I
know I have no future?
Solution is here
Here in this room
I feel it
I know it
One day alive or dead
She will come back
That where madness lie
These morbid thoughts naturally only is
encouraged by these unnatural surroundings
I tell you get out of here
Go away with Lucille and
these imaginings will cease
That's just did,it's not imaginations,
things happen in this room
Strange inexplicable things,not only me,
other people have heard them too
What sort of things?
The organ plays,Maria has heard it
These things are naturally
very simply explained
You've got an organ in this room,
someone must been playing it
Impossible,it doesn't work
Then these noises are
probably not the organ
but water pipes,wind,echoes,many
things could sound like an organ
That's not all
Something much more strange than that
Do you see this lamp?
Well,every night at eleven o'clock
This lamp begins to flicker
It burns slower,then goes out
Can be many reasons for that
Lack of oil, a draft,faulty
burner and coincidence
Don't you think I haven't
though of all that
I shielded it,changed the oil,
put in new wicks
But still at eleven it goes out
You think I'm going mad maybe
By living too long in
these morbid surroundings
you begin to hear and feel
things that do not exist
Do you think I'm having delusions?
I see
If you saw for yourself
would you believe it then?
That's it,come back here
tonight and see for yourself
And you'll know that I am not going mad
Will you come,Ivan?
Yes I come but on one condition that you
came and have a good dinner before
That's a bargain
Heavens,this place look
bad enough by daylight
but now you certainly provide it the right
setting to make me believe anything
Like the lamp
When did you say this phenomena occurs?
Exactly at 11 pm
Still a few minutes to go
You know,Charles
I'm not at all sure
That I'm doing the right thing and
encouraging you in this nonsense
Wait,you'll see
I'm glad the stove kept in,some cold night
Are there any other studios
in this building occupied?
No,they are empty
What are you doing up here?
I saw a light coming from you
when I ordered the hall so I came
up to see that's my job,isn't it?
Get out and don't come up here again
No wait a minute,Madame
I've something to ask you
I'll talk to you but not to him
Monsieur Charles tells me that you
are hearing organ music here in this room
Yes,I do
I hear it all times
And not a soul in the studio,mind you
Is there anything particular
about this music,can you describe it?
You know the tune
Yes,can you tell us the tune
Cruel against an old woman
I've no learning of music
Can you hum it or sing it?
I'm no singer either
But not that when I was a young girl
On the tune
That's it
Charles are you sure someone is
not trying to have some joke on you?
Well,anybody who could possibly
be interested in scaring you out of here?
What do you mean?
Let's have a look at the organ
Very strange
The lamp,now you'll see
-There's a body on your
-Stop it
Fool,screaming like that
because the lamp goes out
Now do you believe me?
Well?
The possibility is there
Violent deeds,violent emotions can leave
an impression on a room or an object
Something has made such
an impression on this room
Some power concentrated some object
But where is that power?
I have it
We must have a seance here
Here in this room,and
the power is at its highest
That way,and that way only
can we solve the mystery
A medium is a living bridge
across which this spirit there is
beyond powerful to this one
-If Tina is dead I shall see her
-That is possible
No,I don't like it
There is danger I admit
But only to the medium
If one of experience is brave
I know the very woman let's try tomorrow
Don't let us do this,Ivan
I have a presentiment that
something terrible will happen
Leave it to me
The whole affair puzzles me deeply
And I am sorry now I took it on
But why?
I like Charles Garrie
And as I told you I feel I have
some responsibility with that girl Lucille
Does she come into the story?
Not yet but
Unless Charles Garrie is
a remarkably fine actor
he is in a highly neurotic condition
Besides a psychic element
has now come into it
Now what do you mean?
Spooks,ghosts,the supernatural
This is ridiculous
Not so ridiculous as you may suppose
Our senses have their limits,very limit
But are we to seriously believe
that nothing exist beyond
the limit of our senses
Anyhow Charles believes he
has experienced supernatural
And that belief I propose to
exploit to our advantage
How?
By holding a seance in his studio
In fact I have already arranged
But you don't seriously believe
What I may believe or not
believe does not enter into it
Because in this case a result of
the seance has been prearranged
-Ah,fake medium
-Certainly not
Madame Kadowa is a medium,a very famous one
But in this case she has agreed to help me
Well,I am still utterly in the dark
Well,I believe it'll be my explicit
What Madame said,and I
suppose ??,in Garrie's state of mind
I hope to trap him into
revealing the whole truth
Highly indigenous but suppose we fail
Then no harm has been done and in any
case we maybe backing up the wrong tree
Near to hold your nose
There is that possibility
There is another possibility,my friend
There are more things
in heaven and earth,remember?
What help do you need?
Two men in the building tonight
Light more candles,quick
What have you done,
Madame,everything is spoilt
I must leave the place
Somebody tried to kill me
I am suffocated let me go,let me go
-I got to get out of here
-Will you pull together,Madame
Let me go,let me go
What things haven't ? happened,
you knew what you had to do
Don't you know?
Didn't you feel the presence
I never had such experience before
Evil,evil
Nothing will induce him to
? at his heart,nothing
You mean there is something here?
Are you ready for us,Monsieur
No,you can go back
I told you we should never had done this
Charles,my friend,can you forgive me?
What happened?
A rare case
But the development on you was possible
What do you mean?
It's a psychic condition,
difficult to explain
It sometimes happens that
medium is out of tune with the control
When the influence is too
strong the trance is broken
Sometimes with dangerous
effect to the medium
Such a condition occurred just now
I see and now what do we do?
Find another medium of course
No,I won't any more of it
Charles,we must
I can't tell you why
But we have gone so far,
there isn't going back
We must find another medium
Someone more sensitive to the influence
No
What a fool I've been
Why didn't I realize it before?
Her eyes,the very confirmation of her
head,everything proclaims to medium
What are you talking about?
You will see I've got the very
woman,tomorrow night
Tomorrow night will bring the solution
Lucille what are you doing here?
Lucille is going to help us
Look,I won't hear it
I had no idea it was Lucille
Ivan you must be mad
I love you,I won't have her
dragged her into the scene
That's the very reason that you must
Think man,your future,your
very life is at stake
Besides it's not only you
There is Lucille herself
I told her all
Lucille?
All,she loves you but your
mind is chained to the past
How do you know she is a medium?
Don't you remember when I fell
asleep at the studio while posing?
Yes,what has that do with it?
Can't you see,she was not really asleep
not normal sleep,some influence in
this studio sent her into a trance
Charles,the choice is yours,
between the living and the dead
Charles you said you loved me just now
Then let me go through with this
Very well
If there any harm behold
her,Ivan,I'll kill you
Come
We have no time to lose
What do you want me to do?
Sit down
Your hands like this
Enter your mind of thoughts
Close your eyes
Now
Start breathing
Slowly
Steeply
I like you pick you thoughts on Christine
Whatever your hear,what ever happens,
don't get her up,don't say a word
Do I sense a subject?
Anyone here?
Charles,Charles
Oh,Charles I waited so long
I tried so hard
The lamp,the organ
I tried so hard,Charles
Tina
Can you tell us what happened to you?
I will try but you must help me
Think about me,Charles
Think hard about me
I am in a room
Bedroom
Open the door,Christine
In a minute
Wait a minute
You are not thinking
of going out the evening
Are you my little,Christine?
You are not thinking of
leaving you poor old Anton?Are you?
Because he'll never let you go,you know
You don't think that Anton
doesn't know what you are trying to do?
Do you?
Because he's searching now,
he knows all about it
What happened then,please go on
I must know
She is in there now in the plaster
You are coming in here now
Give me the prefect to the police
