Satan's Blood (1978) - full transcript

Andy and Thelma, an urbanite couple living in Madrid, leave their apartment for a pleasant day around the city with their dog. They cross paths with Bruno and Anne, a strange couple who invite them to their foreboding country estate. A storm hits that evening and the two stay overnight. The couples engage in a bit of harmless communication with spirits via ouija board, but soon past conflicts arise Thelma had an affair with Andy's brother, and Anne criticizes Bruno over his attempted suicide. This is only the beginning of all the horrors that will haunts them in the house.

"Satan Exists, Confirms the Pope."

(Professor Carlos
speaking in Spanish)

- [Narrator] Satan exists
because evil exists.

Professor Carlos Vasallo,
a recognized authority

on the subjects of Satanism,

the occult and voodoo,

worked closely with
the writer and director

during the development
and shooting of this film

to ensure the accuracy
and authenticity

of the various rituals
and incantations.

The argument for Professor
Vasallo's statement



is really very simple.

He explains it as a
theory of opposites.

For example,

just as matter exists so does
its opposite, anti-matter.

The air we breathe

is a mixture of positive
ions and negative ions.

The energy around us

and also that which
we generate ourselves

is part positive
and part negative.

And so to the less tangible
but perfectly feasible example

good and bad, God and Satan.

This last example presented
man with a choice.

The choice of either living

by the forces of
good or of evil.



And history has shown that
many have chosen the latter

and have become
Satan's disciples.

Every year thousands of
black masses have performed

rituals that invariably
include unnatural sexual acts

and the sacrifice of both
animals and human beings.

These rituals have been
practiced for hundreds of years

and it would be foolish
of us to ignore them

or to claim that the
forces they generate

are simply a figment
of the imagination.

There are too many documented
examples of occurrences

that could only have
been caused by forces

that are far beyond the
normal capabilities of man.

We must assume therefore

that the forces generated
by any occult ritual

black or white,
come from the beyond

and in the case of a
black mass, from Satan.

- [Andy] Another no answer.

Seems like the whole
world is out today.

- But it's a holiday.

They're all out
polluting the freeways.

Did you call Harry?

He and Barbara might
still be around.

- If they are, they're
still in the sack.

- So what interrupt
his (mumbles) then.

(both chuckling)

And, if they're not home we
can go someplace on our own.

(Annie scoffs)

(Blackie barks)

Okay Blackie.

How about we take Blackie
for a run in the park?

And after we can go dancing.

I don't wanna stay in today.

- Neither do I honey

but there's no way
we're going dancing.

We're not risking losing
this little fella.

(Annie scoffs)

- Yeah, how old is he now?

Four months tomorrow
and getting bigger.

(both chuckling)

(Blackie barks)

- You just can't wait, can you?

(both chuckling)

- Good afternoon.

- Hi there.

(keys jingles)

(door clicks)

(upbeat music)

(upbeat music continues)
(woman vocalizing)

(car engine revving)

- Annie.

- What?

- Do you know those guys?

- Who?

- Them.

- Hi there.
- Hi.

(Blackie growls)
- Come on Blackie.

Take it easy.

(Blackie continues growling)

- Andy who are they?

- No idea, don't ask me.

- Hey there, Andy

- Seems like he
knows you, all right.

(car engine revving)

(car door clicks)

(Blackie growls)

Blackie, it's okay, be quiet.

(Blackie barks)

- Hey Andy.

Don't tell me that you've
forgotten me, please.

- I'm sorry but I...

- Bruno Debray.

How could you have forgotten?

And this is my wife, Mary.

Nice to meet you.
- How are you?

- You're married as well

old buddy?
- Sure am

This is Annie.

- It's okay, I don't bite.

(Blackie growls)

How you doing Annie?

- I'm fine.
- I'm afraid Andy

has lost his memory.

- Hello Annie, how you doing?

- Great thanks.

- Hey, it's sure been a while.

You look the same as
you did old buddy.

Time's treated you pretty well.

It's amazing,

the last time I saw you you
were no more than that high.

- In college was it?

- Yeah right.

I had Matthews, I was
in C while you were in B

but we had one class
together with Frank Bradshaw.

- Frank Bradshaw never taught
classes, he was the dean.

- Hey, come on Andy.

He was professor of sciences,

Jesus already
senile at your age.

(both laughing)

Where were you two off to?

- We're going home.

- You got children?

- One in the oven.

- Good man, Andy.

How about we go to our place

and have a drink
and celebration?

Okay?

- Come on, it'll be fun.
(Blackie barks)

- Okay.

- Oh, what do you say?

We can catch up on the past,
play a little music and relax.

Just take it easy.

- Oh, well I've just...

- Know what I've just thought,

somewhere I've got a
picture from college

with the two of us in it.

- You guys gonna stand
here and talk all day?

We've got wine and
cheese at home.

Come on, let's go.

- Follow us.

(Annie exhales sharply)
- Their place,

you know where it is?

- No idea.

I don't know, I just wish

the hell I could place
the man, that's all.

- He must have been
in another class.

I mean, he looks
much older than you.

- It's pretty weird.

My mind's a blank.

- So what?

They seem like a very
nice couple, Andy.

And I mean, we didn't
have anything else to do.

(car engine revving)

How old do you think
Bruno really is?

- I don't know.

- I'd say late 40's.

- Here we go.

(car engine revving)

Where the hell is their place?

Frank Bradshaw was the
dean of the college.

I'm sure about that.

The professor of sciences was a-

- Hey drop it, please Andy.

- Well you know how
many miles we've come?

- No I don't but
we've been driving

for the best part of an hour.

(car engine revving)

Why'd you stop here?

- I think it's best
we turn around.

- But we've come this far.

- Yeah and who knows, we could
end up driving all night.

Let's go back,
it's getting late.

- All right, let's go back then.

(car engine revving)

- Why did you turn around?

We thought we'd lost you.

- Well, it's getting late.

- We're almost there now.

- You want me to go slower?

- No, it wasn't...

- It's just a couple of
minutes, come on, let's go.

- [Bruno] Well, here we are.

- [Andy] Yeah, pretty
far out of town.

- [Mary] We really only
come out on weekends.

- [Andy] Yeah.

(Blackie barks)

Wait a minute, I left
the key in the car.

- Don't worry, nobody's
gonna steal it out here.

(Bruno chuckles)
(Blackie continues barking)

- Blackie, Blackie come on.

- Why don't you
leave the dog out?

Let him run.

- Poor old Blackie, after
a week of being shut up

in the apartment he gets crazy.

- I'm afraid he might
disappear somewhere.

- No way, honey.

The whole place is walled
in and the gates locked.

- Still if you don't mind,
I'd prefer he stay with us.

- [Bruno] Sure.

This way.

- Go ahead.

- [Annie] What a

- [Mary] Glad you like it.

Whereabouts do you live?

- In a rented matchbox.

- But comfortable
and very central.

- One of these days
we'll come and visit you.

- [Andy] You're welcome to try

but I don't think
We'd all fit in.

(Bruno chuckles)

- [Bruno] I'm
gonna light a fire.

It's cold today.

(clock ticking faintly)

(footsteps pattering)

- Hey, that's great.

- [Andy] Need a hand?

(ominous music)
- [Bruno] Got a light?

- [Andy] Sure.

- [Bruno] Mary,
pour some drinks.

- [Mary] Sure, what
would you like?

- [Bruno] Whatever

(doll squeaks)
you guys are drinking.

That outta do it.

Hand me a log will you?

(clock ticking faintly)

(paper rustles)
(ominous music continues)

(door clicks)

(paper rustles)

(ominous music continues)

In a minute I'll go dig

(paper rustles)

- [Bruno] Does the
subject interest you?

(Annie chuckles nervously)

- I've always been
curious about it.

I'll go help Mary.

Where do I find the kitchen?

- At the end of the corridor.

- Oh, thanks.

(footsteps pattering)

- [Bruno] It's gotta
be in here somewhere.

(ominous music continues)

(paper rustles)

(footsteps pattering)

(Mary breathes heavily)

(liquid dripping)

- You want something to eat?

(Annie sighs)
- No.

I thought maybe
I could help you.

(liquid dripping)

- Thanks honey.

(footsteps pattering)

(cabinet door clicks)

Why don't you cut the cheese?

(footsteps pattering)
(liquid dripping)

You know, you have very
beautiful eyes Annie.

(Annie sighs)
- Thank you.

(chopping board taps)

- [Bruno] That's you here.

And that's me.

And that's Frank Bradshaw.

See, I was right.

- But these uniforms are...

- I found the
photograph of us Annie.

- Oh let me see.

(plate clanks)

(Annie exclaims)
(Annie laughs)

- Takes us back a few years.

- Angel faces.
(Annie laughs)

- You know I thought uniforms

had been discontinued
in 51 or 52.

I never wore one.

- No?

Then what is that
you're wearing?

(ominous music)
(footsteps pattering)

(tray clanks)

“Ana and Andres, 60 Pradillo Street,
Apartment 65.”

- How did...
- [Mary] Your drink.

(footsteps pattering)
(fire crackles)

(Annie sighs)

- What kind of wine is this?

- Try it, I'm sure
you'll like it.

(Annie exclaims)

- It's a special vintage.

Tell me where do
you work at Andy?

- Hey, aren't you
two having any wine?

- No, not now, maybe later.

(Annie exclaims)

- It's very good, I love it.

(Annie gasps softly)

Sorry what did you ask?

- [Bruno] What Andy does.

- Oh, nothing exciting.

I repair electronics and
Annie works as a nurse.

(Annie chuckles)

(footsteps pattering)
(liquid drips)

(foot thuds)
(man exclaims)

(door clicks)
(Blackie barks)

(man exclaims)
(door clicks)

(Blackie continues barking)

- That's Blackie.

(Blackie barks in distance)

- He was running
around in the kitchen.

I decided to send him out
so he wouldn't bother us.

No, you're wrong.

- [Annie] What?

- What was on your
mind a minute ago?

(Annie scoffs)

- Are you telling me you
can read my thoughts?

- Like a page in a book.

- It depends on the individual.

Some are more
transparent than others.

(Annie scoffs)
- And I'm

one of the transparent ones?

- Very, yes.

(wind gushing)

(Blackie howling)

(Blackie barking)

(ominous music)
(Annie sighs)

- He's barking again,

there's something wrong.

- So he's barking, so what?

(Blackie barking)
(ominous music)

(clock ticking faintly)

(footsteps pattering)

- Annie, do you believe in
the existence of situations

that can take us
beyond our reality?

- Mary.

- Well,

I've often wondered whether

those kind of things are
really possible or not.

- Sure they are.

|suppose,depends
on the individual.

- Well Annie is fascinated
by all kinds of mysteries

because to her
reality is so boring.

- I saw that book you've
got, it's very interesting.

Do you know how to read
hands or to tell the future?

- We can do a lot
better than that.

The Ouija.

- Ouija?

Sounds great.

- What is it exactly?

- We can talk to the beyond
using a glass goblet.

(glass clanks softly)

- I say it's impossible.

(Annie chuckles)

- Not with that kind of goblet.

This one here.

(ominous music)

(glass clanks)

(ominous music continues)

(cloth rustles)

- Sit over here.

(wood taps)

(Andy exclaims)
- Thanks.

- No thanks.

- [Bruno] They're very smooth.

- All right then.

I'll try one.
(Annie chuckles)

(wooden box clicks)

(Annie blows)

- We must all concentrate hard.

- [Andy] I warn you, I don't
really believe in any of this.

(ominous music)

(clock ticking faintly)

- [Bruno] By the
dreadful day of judgment,

by the four beasts
before the throne,

having eyes before

and behind, by the fire
which is about the throne.

I command thee,

to grace us with your presence,

to enrich our poor souls,

to take us into your heart.

Talk to us oh powerful one,

shroud us in the frozen light
of your eternal darkness.

I command thee,

to enter our temple

and let us speak with you.

Come oh powerful one.

(fire cracking)
(ominous music)

- Are you here?

(clock ticking faintly)

(ominous music)

Are you here?

ls there anybody who you
wish to talk to particularly?

(ominous music)

Who would you speak with?

Tell us I command thee.

(clock ticking faintly)
(ominous music)

- Bruno.

- What would you like
to talk to me about?

(clock ticking faintly)
(ominous music)

- About death.

- Will I live to be an old man?

- [Annie] No.

(clock ticking faintly)
(ominous music)

- So, when will I die?

(clock ticking faintly)
(ominous music)

- Answer the question,
I command thee.

(clock ticking faintly)
(ominous music)

- Swiss.

Swiss,

what can it..

Do you think it's Switzerland?

- No, suicide.
(ominous music)

Maybe it means having
tried and failed once,

he'll try again.

- Why do you always shove
that down my throat?

- So you'll remember
dear to be more accurate,

another time.

That's all.

(ominous music)

(Annie gasps)

- What's the matter?

(Annie exclaims)
- Nothing.

Nothing.

- Let's stop this
nonsense right now.

(Annie exclaims)

- Are you afraid?

- No.

It's okay.

Let's go on.

I'm all right.

(Annie inhales sharply)

(clock ticking faintly)
(ominous music)

- You understood, didn't you?

He doesn't want to have any
more to do with you tonight.

- Then he'd might like to
talk to one of the others.

(clock ticking faintly)
(ominous music)

- He might.

ls there anybody else
that you wish to speak to?

Who would you wish to speak to?

(ominous music continues)

(Annie gasps)
- [Annie] That's me.

Oh god.

What do you want to
talk to me about?

(ominous music)

Love.

What about it?

Tell me.

Why won't he answer?

- Speak to Annie,

speak to Annie about love.

(clock ticking faintly)
(ominous music)

Annie loves Luis.

- It's not true, really.

- Annie doesn't love Luis.

(clock ticking faintly)
(ominous music)

(Annie gasps)

Annie's been lying.

- I haven't been lying.

I love Andy, no one else.

(Annie sobs)

- Tell us, who is Luis.

(Andy inhales sharply)
- He's my brother.

It's an old story and
it's been over for years.

(Annie sobbing)

It is over, isn't it Annie?

(Annie inhales sharply)

- Do you believe that I...

(Andy breathing heavily)

- How the hell should I know?

Maybe if you told me once more.

Tell me there's really nothing
left between you and Luis.

(Annie exhales sharply)

- Tell him you're lying.
(Annie inhales sharply)

Please don't do this to
us, tell him you're lying.

(ominous music)

- By the sea of glass

before the face of the
prince of darkness.

By the dreadful day of judgment.

By the fire around thy throne,

we call on you oh
noble Prince Baal.

- Tell him.

- [Bruno] We call
on you to (mumbles)

your terrible curse.

- Please tell him you're lying.

You're lying.

(glass breaks)
(Annie screams)

(fire cracking)

(Annie exclaims)

- It's all over sweetheart.

- I've got a terrible headache.

- Here, drink this it'll help.

- No thank you, I
don't want anything.

Andy let's go home, please.

- It's all right if you
wanna spend the night here.

- No, thank you.

Annie's right, we
should go home.

Listen, I don't
wanna be any trouble

but would you mind leading
us back to the main road?

I had no idea how to find it.

- That's a problem.

With these roads, there's
a storm on the way.

- Tomorrow you'll see
everything in a new light.

Sleep well.

(footsteps pattering)

(door clicks)

(rain dripping)
(thunder rumbling)

(liquid sloshes)

(Andy sniffs)

- Relax.

Just take things as they
come and don't worry.

- You forgive me?

- For what?

- Well about, you know.

It's the only mistake
I ever really made.

- I prefer never to
talk about Luis again.

It's in the past
let's forget it.

- [Annie] Okay.

Thank you, Andy.

(somber music)

(both sigh)

(Annie kisses)

(Annie gasps)
(liquid sloshes)

Come on.

- What do you mean?

- Get in.
- With you?

(both laughing)

(liquid sloshes)
(Annie gasps)

(Annie laughing)

It's a bit small
for the both of us.

- Oh, you want me
to get out then?

(liquid sloshes)
(both laughing)

- Are you sure he's still there?

(somber music)

(liquid sloshes)

(Annie laughing)
(somber music continues)

(thunder rumbling)

- What's the matter now?

I thought we'd buried Luis.

(thunder rumbling)

- I wasn't thinking about that.

I was wondering how the hell

our address got on the
back of the photograph.

It seems impossible,
we only met them today.

- I don't know what to tell you.

- It's all pretty weird.

And you know, Frank Bradshaw,

he never taught class,
I know I'm right.

(Annie sighs)

When I entered college,
Frank Bradshaw was the dean.

And then he died one
day mysteriously.

- In what way mysteriously?

- It was rumored that
he committed suicide.

(Blackie whimpers)

- Oh no, listen.

It's Blackie.

(Blackie whimpers)
(Andy scoffs)

- Then Blackie must
have turned into a Wolf

and he's out hunting Dracula.

(Blackie whimpers)
(Annie gasps)

- It's Blackie.

Let's go down and
get him inside.

- He likes it out in
the open air, lie down.

(Annie gasps)

(thunder rumbling)
(ominous music)

(Andy groans)

Go to sleep will you?

- I'm trying.

- Think about how much
sleep our son needs.

I don't want the same
thing to happen again.

We lost one, let's
not lose another.

- The door locked properly?

- Yes.

Now then close your
eyes and go to sleep.

What's the matter?

(Annie sobbing)

Hey.

Come on, what's the matter?

- I went downstairs,

then someone jumped me
and tried to rape me.

(Annie sobbing)

- Take it easy sweetheart.

(Annie continues sobbing)

(man groans)
(thunder rumbling)

(footsteps pattering)

(Annie sobbing)
Come on, take it easy.

(Annie sighs)
- Let's go home, Andy.

Let's go home.

- First of all,

I wanna know what the
hell is happening here.

(Annie sighs)

- Andy no, let's just go home.

Please, what happened
isn't important.

- Well it's important to me.

I'm sick of their nasty games.

(Annie exclaiming)
- Andy.

- Wait for me here.

If you want, you can lock
the door while I'm gone.

(thunder rumbling)
(Andy exclaims)

- No, I'll come with you.

Oh Satan, come lead

(thunder rumbling faintly)

- It could be pretty serious.

You better call a doctor.

- Don't worry about it.

She's always been okay.

- Well as a nurse I am worried.

She might not be
all right this time.

- Believe me it's nothing.

-Andrew, see if you
can locate a doctor

and get 'em out here,
just to be sure.

(footsteps pattering)

- [Bruno] Here
(door clicks)

Here's one you can call.

He's a friend and he's
treated her before.

(thunder rumbling)

(phone clicks)

- Hopeless.

(phone clicks)

(Mary gasps)

(Andy exclaims)

(Andy moans)

(Andy moaning continues)

(door clicks)

- Well, now we know
what cures her.

- The telephone doesn't work.

It's because of
the storm I expect.

- Let's go.

(box thuds)

- Come here, Bruno.

(thunder rumbling)

- Please, I wanna go home.

- Look I swear, she grabbed me.

- Do you think I give a damn?

- Annie.

It's the truth, believe me.

(Annie sighs)

Look, I'd never find
the road tonight,

we really are better
off staying here.

But as soon as it's daylight,

we'll head for home, okay?

(thunder rumbling)

- I don't wanna
sleep in this bed.

- Sweetheart, I'm very tired.

(Annie sighs)

What?

Jesus.

- It's quarter to two.

How come we've slept so long?

- Well the sun's out at least.

- [Annie] Let's go home.

(Andy sighs)

- Let me take a shower
first, will you?

I feel like hell.

- I wanna go.

(Andy scoffs)

- [Andy] No one here.

What a great weekend.

Who's idea was it to
get out of the house?

Well then, where
the hell is Blackie?

Blackie?

Blackie?

- The car's not there.

(wind whooshes)

(footsteps pattering)

Now what do we do?

- Sit on our asses and wait.

Let's find something to eat.

- Yeah, I'm hungry.

-And so am I.

- Do you realize we didn't
have any dinner last night?

(Annie exclaims)

(footsteps pattering)

Now I know who really owns
this house, Old Mother Hubbard.

- Hi there.

We went out to buy
a few necessities.

- Sorry about using
your car without asking

but I wanted to take
mine to the mechanic

and you were still asleep.

- It doesn't matter.

We're leaving now.

- Have lunch first, won't you?

- No, thank you.

- What's the big hurry?

- The big hurry is
that we wanna get home

before it gets dark again.

- Well, here's to the next time.

Bye.

(footsteps pattering)

(wind whooshes)

(doors thud)

(footsteps pattering)

I can't believe we're
getting out of the place.

(Annie sighs)

(engine ignites)

(engine ignites)
- What's the matter?

- I don't know, they must
have done something to it.

(engine ignites)
(Annie gasps)

- Listen, we can't
leave now anyway.

- Not if the car
won't start, we can't.

- No, I mean Blackie.
(engine ignites)

We can't leave without him.

(door clicks)
(wind whooshes)

(door thuds)
- Blackie.

(door thuds)

(footsteps pattering)

- Blackie.

(Andy whistles)

(footsteps pattering)
(wind whooshes)

Blackie.

(footsteps pattering)

(wind whooshes)

(both growling)

- I'm glad you decided
to stick around.

- We're looking for Blackie.

- Blackie?

- What's happened to him?

- And the car
won't start, Bruno.

- I doubt if it's serious.

I'll help you with
it after we've eaten.

- I'd like you to help me now.

(footsteps pattering)

- Not long, a few minutes.

We'll eat something

and then we'll go
and repair your car.

ls that all right?
- No

(engine ignites)

- Try again, come on.

(engine ignites)

- It's dead.

- Try again.
(engine ignites)

Let's go eat something,
we'll fix it later.

- Wait a minute.

You get in and try her, go on.

(footsteps pattering)

(vegetables cracking)
(liquid drips)

- What could have
happened to Blackie?

I'm getting worried now.

(Annie gasps)

(chopping board thuds)

(liquid drips)
(Annie gasps)

- Where did you find this?

It's Frank Bradshaw.

You recognize him don't you?

You think he threw himself
out of the window Andy?

- That's what they said.

- Maybe he was thrown.

Great pity.

He was a fine teacher.

- I don't remember.

- Wait a second.

This collar, wasn't
it Blackie's?

(Annie sobbing)

- How awful.

We'll bury him in the garden.

(Annie sobbing)
- You bitch.

- Annie.
- You murdering bitch.

- Annie.

(Annie panting)

- The poor girl.

I think she's blown a gasket.

- It was you who killed him.

It was her Andy, she did it.

- Annie, Annie, take it easy.

Come on, take it easy.
(Annie sobbing)

- What reason would I have
for murdering your stupid dog?

- Mary, come on,
why did you do it?

- Only a coward would
murder a defenseless animal.

A coward.
- I agree.

Only a coward would
do a thing like that.

- What are you insinuating?

- You know perfectly
well, what I mean?

- Say it.

- That it's much simpler
to murder a defenseless dog

than to commit suicide.

(Mary gasps)

(Bruno slaps)
(Mary exclaims)

(Bruno continues slapping)
(Annie sobbing)

(Mary exclaims)

(Annie sobbing)

(gun fires)

(Mary screams)

(footsteps pattering)

(Bruno groans)

(footsteps pattering)

He's still just about alive.

You're the nurse, come on.

(footsteps pattering)

(clock ticking faintly)

(footsteps pattering)

(Andy sighs)

What the hell can we do?
- Nothing.

He needs expert attention.

- Doctor.

- Mary

(Bruno groans)

(Annie exclaims)

(clock ticking faintly)

(engine revving)

(clock ticking faintly)
(Bruno mumbles)

What's he saying?

- I don't know.

- Sounds like Chinese.

- Andy, can't we do anything?

Suppose she doesn't come back,

we can't just sit here
and watch him die.

(footsteps pattering)
What are you gonna do?

- I'm gonna see if I can
make that damn car work.

(footsteps pattering)

(wires click)

- Andy!

(footsteps pattering)

(door clicks)

He's dead.

(footsteps pattering)

(clock ticking faintly)

- Doctor.

- Good evening.

- [Annie] Hello doctor.

- Good evening.

(clock ticking faintly)

Nothing more we can do for him.

What happened?

- I don't know, we were outside

and when...

The only thing I can
imagine, it was an accident.

- An accident?

That's not what I
understood from her.

(clock ticking faintly)

What did she tell you?

- I'm sure you know

but you're saying

you weren't even in the
room when it happened?

- No, we weren't.

- Are you sure?
- Yes, of course.

We were walking to the
car out in the driveway.

- To the car?

I heard it wasn't running.

- Well, it does now.

It wasn't running earlier
but I managed to repair it.

You see, somebody had
pulled a wire off the-

- Who did?

Her or him?

- I don't know.

They took the car.

- What's this?

Blood, I'd say.

- I don't see anything.

- I assure you it's blood.

- Right, yes.

It's from the dog.

- Oh, what dog?
- Please doctor,

let's start again, I'll
tell you the whole story.

- No, no, I have no wish
to hear the whole story.

My only obligation in this case

is to make out a
death certificate

on our dead friend over there.

Time and cause of death.

That's my duty.

All the rest is your problem.

But where's the phone?

Oh.

- Doctor, my husband's
telling the truth.

We came here yesterday
with our dog.

Somebody murdered our dog.

- Killing a dog isn't
murder, killing a man is.

(phone clicks)
(clock ticking faintly)

(ominous music)

By the dreadful day
of our judgment,

by the four beasts
before the throne,

having eyes before and behind,

by the fire which is
around the throne,

take thy servant I command thee,

into your world of darkness.

You stay here.

You're not to leave the house.

(clock ticking faintly)

- Doctor, is there
anything we can do?

- Nothing, fate will
take its elected course.

(footsteps pattering)

(door clicks)

(door thuds)

(car engine revving)

(thunder rumbling)

(thunder rumbling)

(Annie gasps)

- I'm glad he's gone.

And now we just wait, I suppose.

Did you hear what he was saying?

That funny kind of prayer.

-A|| I understood
is he didn't believe

one damn thing I said.

- Are you sure?

Are you sure someone
pulled off a wire?

- What is this shit?

You too.

Don't you believe me either?

- Sorry.

I don't know what's
happening anymore.

I only hope this is a, a
bad dream, just a bad dream.

- Well unfortunately we're
awake, very much awake.

(Annie sighs)

She just sits there.

(Annie exclaims)

- Forget about her.

Nothing we can do anyhow.

(Andy groans)

- That's what's
driving me crazy.

We gotta stick around
here and do nothing

because there's, there's
nothing we can do.

Sorry, sweetheart.

Here's me doing flips and
right now more than ever,

we got to keep our cool.

(clock ticking faintly)

(Bruno gasps)
Jesus.

(Annie gasps)

- Here, I'll fix it.

(Annie sighs)

- No, I've had enough.

What are we doing here?

It's madness.

And then on top
of everything else

that quack accusing
us of murder.

- I told you we should've left.

- How?

The car was broken.

Tell Me how.

- Don't ask me, the
point is we didn't.

- I wonder what kind of bullshit
story she told the doctor.

- With that bitch
I'd expect anything.

Hey, you know,

I bet she did it,
she killed him.

(water sizzling)
(metal clanks)

Here you are.

(footsteps pattering)

- Now where'd she disappear to?

- You, who are of death,

you who kiss death on the mouth,

protect us and lead
us out of our misery.

- What are you saying?

- I don't know.

It just came into my mind.

It was something that Mary
must've said or maybe Bruno.

(wind whooshes)
(leaves rustling)

- It's so silent.

You know the other day
(stutters) no I mean,

was it yesterday?

Oh hell, I'm losing
all sense of time.

When we were in the bathroom.

When was that?

- Last night.

- Oh.

Last night, while
you were in the bath,

I was watching you in the mirror

and I had the
strangest sensation.

- Of silence?

- No.

It was a feeling of being empty.

As though I'd lost
something forever.

- You were thinking about Luis.

- No, it was something else.

It's difficult to explain.

It wasn't him.

(footsteps pattering)

There she goes, a caged
animal pacing back and forth.

- You think she's all right?

- Who cares?

She killed Blackie

and then murdered her husband.

- We don't know either
of those things for sure.

(Andy shushes)
- Listen.

- I don't hear anything.

- Exactly, I wonder
what she's up to.

(liquid sloshes)

- Seems like water.

- Yeah, that's water all right.

She's filling up the basin.

- That or the bath.

(door clicks)

(footsteps pattering)

(door knocks)

- Mary, are you in there?

- I hope she hasn't
done anything stupid.

- Open the door.
(door knocks)

(door knob clicks)

Open the door.

(door thuds)

(door thuds)

(door thuds)
(Annie exclaims)

(ominous music)

(Annie slaps)

- We've gotta get her
out of these wet clothes.

(liquid drips)

(inhuman growling)

- Where is he?

Where's Bruno?

- Here drink this.

(Mary exclaims)
(Annie gasps)

- I'm not dead yet, so kill me.

Kill me again.

- You wanna die?
- [Annie] No, stop it.

- I'll kill you,
- [Annie] Stop it

- I'll kill you,

I'll kill you.

(Annie gasps)

- My God, Andy, you killed her.

(wind whooshes)

(thunder rumbling)

- If we're careful and
wipe all our prints,

no one will ever
know we were here.

- The doctor knows.

- Well, he only saw us once

(plate clanks)
and when he gets back,

we won't be here.

It'll be his word against ours.

Jesus, what a nightmare.

First Blackie then Bruno

and that bitch.
- Andy, let's get moving.

- Just sorry we didn't leave her

in the bath to bleed to death.

Not that I really got
a guilty conscience

about strangling her.

(Annie exclaims)
She deserved to die.

Come on, let's go.

(Annie sighs)

(footsteps pattering)

(ominous music)
(Annie shrieks)

- Oh please, don't leave yet.

So you're unhappy you didn't
let me bleed to death.

(Andy sighs)
- Listen, I didn't really-

- Yes, you did.

I know what happened now.

I know,

you murdered my husband,

you're murderers and
I'm going to kill you.

With great pleasure.

(gun cocks)
- No, you're wrong.

It wasn't like that.

(gun fires)
(Annie screams)

(door thuds)

(car engine revving)

- Oh no.

- Now what's wrong?

- My bag, I left it inside.

- Well, it can stay right there.

- There are things
with my name on.

Keep the engine running.

It's impossible.

What's going on?

(door clicks)

(door clicks)
God.

I'm going crazy.

No, no, no, no, no.

(both sobbing)

- ls there anything we can do?

- Please, did you,

did you by chance see anybody
go into our apartment?

- Why, no.

- Yes, the moving men did.

(exclaims)
- Yes.

Somebody did.

- Who, who were they?

- A moving company.

We presumed you've
moved to a new place

and well it all
seemed quite legal.

They had keys.
(Annie sobbing)

- That's impossible.

Nobody else had keys.

We haven't moved either.

- Listen, you can't
just stand out here.

Why don't you come in?

- We don't wanna be a nuisance.

- It's no trouble, come on in.

Besides, I see
you've hurt yourself.

- We've got a few
friends in for dinner,

you're very welcome
to join the party.

Come along.

- You're very kind.
