( rattling chains and heavy foot steps )

7
00:00:57,382 --> 00:01:00,924
The ghosts are moving tonight - 
restless, hungry.

8
00:01:02,468 --> 00:01:04,589
May I introduce myself?

9
00:01:04,906 --> 00:01:06,609
I'm Watson Pritchard.

10
00:01:07,747 --> 00:01:11,509
In just a minute I'll show you the only
really haunted house in the world.

11
00:01:13,218 --> 00:01:15,243
Since it was built a century ago,

12
00:01:15,258 --> 00:01:17,067
seven people, including my brother,

13
00:01:17,087 --> 00:01:18,987
have been murdered in it.

14
00:01:19,842 --> 00:01:22,802
Since then, I've owned the house.

15
00:01:24,351 --> 00:01:26,211
I've only spent one night there.

16
00:01:26,245 --> 00:01:28,335
And when they found me in the morning I...

17
00:01:28,488 --> 00:01:30,288
I was almost dead!

18
00:01:30,987 --> 00:01:35,185
( pained moaning )

19
00:01:35,603 --> 00:01:38,433
♪ ( jarring musical note, swelling ) ♪

20
00:01:39,493 --> 00:01:41,134
I'm Frederick Loren.

21
00:01:41,714 --> 00:01:44,505
And I've rented the house on Haunted Hill
tonight

22
00:01:44,601 --> 00:01:46,274
so that my wife can give a party.

23
00:01:46,592 --> 00:01:47,592
A haunted house party. (chuckles)

24
00:01:49,945 --> 00:01:52,725
She's so amusing.

25
00:01:53,136 --> 00:01:55,634
There will be food and drink and... 
ghosts.

26
00:01:56,717 --> 00:01:58,109
And perhaps even a few murders.

27
00:01:59,274 --> 00:02:00,894
You're all invited.

28
00:02:01,094 --> 00:02:04,092
If any of you will spend the next 
twelve hours in this house,

29
00:02:04,252 --> 00:02:06,855
I'll give you each $10,000 -

30
00:02:06,855 --> 00:02:09,948
- or your next of kin, 
in case you don't survive.

31
00:02:10,358 --> 00:02:12,797
Ah, but here come our other guests.

32
00:02:16,495 --> 00:02:22,115
(Frederick) It was my wife's idea 
to have our guests come in funeral cars.

33
00:02:22,810 --> 00:02:24,962
She's so amusing.

34
00:02:24,962 --> 00:02:27,532
Her sense of humor is, shall we say, 
original.

35
00:02:28,070 --> 00:02:29,993
I dreamed up the hearse.

36
00:02:29,993 --> 00:02:31,987
It's empty now, but -

37
00:02:32,210 --> 00:02:34,750
- after a night in the house on Haunted Hill -

38
00:02:34,824 --> 00:02:36,664
- who knows?

39
00:02:37,315 --> 00:02:40,088
This is Lance Schroeder, a test pilot.

40
00:02:40,088 --> 00:02:42,424
So, no doubt a brave man.

41
00:02:42,424 --> 00:02:45,796
But don't you think you can be 
much braver if you're paid for it?

42
00:02:45,822 --> 00:02:47,511
And I happen to know that Lance

43
00:02:47,511 --> 00:02:49,903
needs the ten thousand I'll give him,

44
00:02:49,903 --> 00:02:52,349
if he's brave enough to stay all night.

45
00:02:52,470 --> 00:02:54,150
This is Ruth Bridgers.

46
00:02:54,430 --> 00:02:57,170
You've no doubt read her column
in the newspapers.

47
00:02:57,289 --> 00:02:59,530
She says her reason 
for coming to the party

48
00:02:59,530 --> 00:03:02,340
is to write a feature article on ghosts.

49
00:03:02,448 --> 00:03:06,288
She's also desperate for money. 
Gambles.

50
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,270
You've already met Watson Pritchard,

51
00:03:10,341 --> 00:03:12,681
a man living in mortal fear of a house,

52
00:03:12,737 --> 00:03:15,807
and yet he's risking his life 
to spend another night here.

53
00:03:15,913 --> 00:03:17,373
I wonder why.

54
00:03:17,485 --> 00:03:19,535
He says "for money".

55
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This is Dr. David Trent, a psychiatrist.

56
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
He claims that my ghosts 
will help his work on hysteria.

57
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But don't you see a little touch of greed there

58
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
around the mouth and eyes?

59
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This is Nora Manning.

60
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I picked her from the thousands of people who work for me

61
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
because she needed the ten thousand most.

62
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Supports her whole family.

63
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Isn't she pretty?

64
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The party's starting now.

65
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And you have until midnight to find
The House on Haunted Hill.

Nora: I work for one of his companies.

77
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But I've never seen him.

78
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Ruth: I've never met the man either.
Just a phone call.

79

who does.

Watson: I don't know him.

83
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
All the details about running the house
were done by mail.

84

- Ruth: Four, I think so far.

87
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: A $50,000 party for
only five people is a little steep.

88
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(David) Even for a millionaire.

89
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: Well, if I were going to haunt 
anybody,

90
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

You know how ghosts are.

105
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
They never tidy up.

99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
That's a very fetching outfit,

99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: This 'spend the night 
ghost party' was your idea. Remember?

110
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Since it's going to cost me 
$50,000,

111

I want you to have fun!

112
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: The party was my idea,

113
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
until you invited all the guests.

114
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Why all the strangers? 
Why none of our friends?

115
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Friends? Do we have 
any friends?

116
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: No. Your jealousy 
took care of that.

117
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: I had a reason for inviting 
each guest.

118
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I wanted a cross section.

119
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
From psychiatrist to typist.

120
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And from drunk to jet pilot.

121
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
They share one thing. 
They all need money.

122
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Now, let's see if they're brave enough 
to earn it.

123
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: And you call this a party?

124
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Could be.

125
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: Why do you always do that?

126
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It spoils the champagne.

127
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: It might explode.
- (Annabelle) It never does.

128
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Will you guarantee that?

129
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: That isn't funny, Fredrick.

130
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: It'd make a good headline.

131
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"Playboy kills wife with champagne cork".

132
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- Will you join me?
- Annabelle: No, thank you.

133
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Just a sip 
might improve your humor.

134
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: My humor is fine, thanks.

135
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And I haven't poisoned it.

136
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: It's always good to know that.

137
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Have some. You'll enjoy 
the party more.

99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Go on.

99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: Your trust is so touching.

140
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And I'm not going to the party.

141
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Of all my wives, 
you're the least agreeable.

142
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: But, still alive.

143
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Would you go away, for 
a million dollars, tax-free?

144
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You want it all, don't you?

145
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: I deserve it all.

146
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Your jealousy isn't tax-free.

147
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And your possessiveness is maddening.

148
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: If ever a man had grounds 
for divorce...

149
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- Annabelle: But can't prove them.
- Fredrick: The time will come.

150
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: You'll slip up 
one of these days.

151
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- Annabelle: You think so?
- Fredrick: If I live long enough.

152
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Do you remember the fun we had 
when you poisoned me?

153
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: Something you ate, 
the doctor said.

154
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Yes. Arsenic on the rocks.

155
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You'd do it again if you thought you could
get away with it, wouldn't you!?

156
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: Darling, what makes you
think that?

157
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Something about you.

158
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I hear that hanging is very uncomfortable,
in case you get any more ideas.

159
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Fredrick) Don't let the ghosts and the 
ghouls disturb you, darling.

160
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: Darling, the only ghoul 
in the house is you.

161
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Don't sit up all night, 
thinking of ways to get rid of me.

162
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It makes wrinkles.

163
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Watson: This is what she used 
on my brother and her sister.

164
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Hacked 'em to pieces.

165
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We found parts of the bodies 
all over the house.

166
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
In places you wouldn't think.

167
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
A funny thing is, the heads have 
never been found.

168
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Hands and feet and things like that.

169
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But no heads.

170
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: The wife, probably in a rage, 
threatened her husband with the knife

171
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and then, carried away by hysteria, 
took a swing at him,

172
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and simply went on from there.

173
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: She certainly went on. How many 
people did she kill, Mr. Pritchard?

174
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Watson: Only two.

175
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Her husband and her sister. No one 
else was here.

176
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: So there are two loose heads just 
floating around here somewhere?

177
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Watson: You can hear them at night.

178
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
They whisper to each other.
And then cry.

179
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
( Lance laughs )

180
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Ruth: Since our host isn't here, 
would anyone care to mix me a drink?

181
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: Certainly. What will you have?

182
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
( door opens )

183
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Good evening.

184
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm your host, Fredrick Loren.

185
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Since we're all strangers to each other, 
let's get acquainted with a drink.

186
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Watson: Mr. Loren, I advise you to 
call this party off now.

187
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The ghosts are already moving 
and that's a bad sign.

188
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Let me apologize for my wife. 
She'll join us later.

189
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- What will you have?
- Ruth: Scotch and.

190
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- Doctor?
- David: I'll have the same.

191
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Now, before the party begins, 
let's go over the details.

192
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The caretakers will leave at midnight,

193
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
locking us in here, 
until they come back in the morning.

194
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Once the door is locked, 
there's no way out.

195
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The windows have bars
that a jail would be proud of.

196
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And the only door to the outside 
locks like a vault.

197
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
There's no electricity. No phone.
No one within miles.

198
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So, no way to call for help.

199
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Watson: Like a coffin.

200
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: So, if any of you decide 
to not stay for the party,

201
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you must let me know before midnight.

202
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Of course, if you leave, I shan't be able 
to pay you anything.

203
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: I'm interested in your reasons 
for this "party".

204
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Aside from present company.

205
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Ghosts, Doctor!

206
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I think everyone wonders 
what they would do

207
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Fredrick) if they saw a ghost.

208
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: And now my wife has given us 
the opportunity to find out.

209
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: Hm. Amusing.

210
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: Ghosts, etcetera, being only 
creations of hysteria,

211
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
your party should be a success!

212
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Pritchard here promises us 
genuine ghosts.

213
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Watson: Seven, now. Maybe more 
before morning.

214
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: That's cheerful.

215
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Watson: Four men have been 
murdered in this house.

216
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And three women.

217
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: You've planned your party 
very well, Mr. Loren.

218
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Four of us are men. Three are women.

219
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
A ghost for everybody.

220
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Pritchard, why don't you take 
us on a tour through the house?

221
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Let's see what happens?

222
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Watson: See that stain? Blood.

223
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Watson: A young girl was killed here.

224
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And whatever got her, wasn't human.

225
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- Don't stand there!
- Ruth: What do you mean? Where?

226
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Watson: It's too late. 
They've marked you.

227
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: Ridiculous. The roof 
probably leaks.

228
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Ruth: That must be what it is. 
Who'd want to haunt me?

229
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: I'd say any self-respecting 
male ghost.

230
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Watson: I hope it doesn't come back.

231
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: Well, Mr. Pritchard, you're the 
life of the party.

232
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: He hasn't even started yet.

233
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Wasn't there a man who threw his wife 
into a wine vat or something?

234
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Watson: That was in the cellar.

235
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
There's been a murder almost every 
place in this house.

236
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Watson: All this belonged to a Mr. Norton, 
who didn't die here.

237
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
He was electrocuted later.

238
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Watson: Mr. Norton did a good deal of 
experimenting with wines.

239
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But his wife didn't think it was any good.

240
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So he filled a vat with acid and 
threw her in.

241
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Watson) She was supposed to stay down,

242
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but the bones came up.

243
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Watson: It's a funny thing.

244
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
None of the murders here 
were just ordinary.

245
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Just shooting. Or stabbing.

246
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
They've all been sort of wild. Violent. 
Different.

247
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: Look out!

248
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Watson: Thank God she didn't fall in.

249
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora: You mean there's still acid
in there?

250
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
( violent bubbling )

251
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Watson: Destroys everything 
with hair and flesh.

252
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Just leaves the bones.

253
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Watson: My, it's dry and dusty down here.

254
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Well there's... a cure... 
for that... upstairs.

255
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: How'd you get invited 
to this party?

256
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: I mean, what'd he tell you?

257
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora: Mr. Loren said everybody would get 
$10,000.

258
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: But he didn't say anything about 
being locked in.

259
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora: No.

260
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: He just made the deal with me 
on the phone.

261
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But nothing about having to stay.

262
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora: Aren't you going to stay?

263
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: If I don't, I lose $10,000.

264
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora: I'm going to stay, too. 
$10, 000...

265
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: Yes... Do you believe in ghosts?

266
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora: I don't know.

267
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: Well, I agree with what 
that doc says.

268
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You can spook yourself.

269
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I've done it in planes. Seen things 
that weren't really there.

270
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Or, were they?
( laughing )

271
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: What are you going to do 
with your $10,000?

272
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
If we get it.

273
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora: What do you mean 
"if we get it"?

274
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Won't he pay us if we stay?

275
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: Sure he will. $10,000 is no more 
to him,

276
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
than a nickle is to us.

277
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora: We were in an automobile accident.

278
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Now I'm the only one in the family 
who can make any money.

279
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: Boy, I've never seen so many doors.

280

99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: 3... 6... 9... 12.

341
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: 12 feet.

342
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: 3... 6.

343
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: I'm going to knock on the 
other wall.

344
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
When you hear me, you knock on this wall.

345
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
( knocking with echoes from first room )

346
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
( Nora knocks )

347
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Lance) Tap lower down!

348
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
( knocking with echoes )

349
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
( Nora screams in terror )

350
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
( sobbing )

351
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora: Oh Lance! I saw it again!

352
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: Where'd it come from?

353
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora: From in here!

354
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: Well if it'd ran out of here - 
I'd have seen it.

355
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora: Lance, it doesn't run, 
it just floats!

356
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: But why didn't I see it?

357
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora: You don't believe me!

358
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance (laughing): How can I?

359
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: I'm Annabelle Loren.

360
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You must be Miss Manning.

361
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I realize this is a very unusual 
and, I'm afraid, very dull party.

362
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Wouldn't you like to freshen up?

363
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: This is your room.

364
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Depressing, isn't it?

365
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora: I doubt if I'll spend much time here.

366
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: It's going to rain. Perfect 
atmosphere for my husbands party.

367
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Why did you come here?

368
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora: He said he'd give me $10,000.

369
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: Why did he pick you?

370
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora: I don't know. My supervisor just 
said I'd been invited.

371
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: How long have you known my 
husband?

372
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora: I just met him tonight.

373
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: So... why you?

374
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
What were you doing wandering around 
by yourself?

375
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora: I was in the cellar with Lance - 
Mr. Schroeder - I just left, that's all.

376
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: Don't do it again.

377
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Annabelle) Don't go anywhere in this 
house by yourself.

378
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Now fix your face and I'll come by 
for you in a few minutes.

379
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora: But I -
- Annabelle: You're in danger.

380
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We all are.

381
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora: But who?

382
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: I hope, for your sake, 
you never find out.

383
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: I'm Annabelle Loren. 
Were you looking for something?

384
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: Not exactly.

385
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: Are you the doctor?

386
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: No. I'm Lance Schroeder.
- Annabelle: The pilot.

387
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You've hurt yourself.

388
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: Oh, it's just a bump on the head.

389
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Which is my room?

390
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: I believe this is it.

391
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: Thank you, Mrs. Loren.

392
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: Annabelle, Lance.

393
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: You were with the young girl 
in the cellar.

394
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Why was she so upset?

395
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: Was she?

396
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: And you don't look like 
the type to go around bumping his head.

397
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
What really happened, Lance?

398
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: Nora thought she saw a ghost, 
but I didn't see anything.

399
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: She was just frightened, then?

400
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: And mad at me, I think. 
I kidded her about it.

401
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: I wouldn't joke about anything 
else that happens here tonight.

402
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: Now, don't tell me you're taking 
all of this seriously?

403
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: Aren't you?

404
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: Well, I'd like to find out 
what hit me.

405
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: Lance...

406
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
If I need help, may I count on you?

407
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: Yes, sure. I guess so.

408
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Look - what's going on here, anyway?

409
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
What's with this party business?

410
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: This is no party, 
he's planning something.

411
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: Your husband?

412
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: I wish I knew what it was.

413
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: It must be pretty big, 
if he's going to lay out $50,000.

414
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: Money doesn't mean anything.

415
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
He has a reason for getting us all 
up here to this dreadful old house.

416
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: Well, what for? He doesn't 
even know us.

417
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: Maybe that's exactly 
why you're here?

418
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance (scoffs): What can he get away with?

419
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: Oh, he thinks that big money 
like his can get away with anything.

420
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You know, of course, that 
I'm his fourth wife.

421
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The first simply disappeared...

422
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The other two died.

423
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance, I don't want to join them.

424
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: You mean, he, uh -

425
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: Oh, his doctors said 
they died of heart attacks.

426
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Two girls, in their twenties.

427
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: Well, what can he do?

428
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: My husband is sometimes 
insane with jealousy.

429
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nothing matters to him then. 
Please be careful.

430
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: Would he hurt you?

431
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: He would kill me if he could.

432
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Annabelle, you're missing 
all the fun.

433
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora Manning was almost killed 
by a falling chandelier.

434
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The pilot bashed his head in.

435
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: Is he badly hurt?

436
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: The saturnine psychiatrist 
bandaged him up.

437
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Don't you want to go and console him?

438
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
As you do, most men, in your fashion.

439
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: You're so clever, Fredrick.

440
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: I lie awake nights, 
wondering why I married you.

441
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It was rather a mistake.

442
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: You didn't marry me, dear.
I married you.

443
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Unpleasant, but no mistake.

444
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Hurry up!

445
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: Fredrick, for the last time, 
I'm not going to your party.

446
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: And, for the last time, 
it's not my party -

447
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- but yours.

448
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And you are going.

449
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: I am not.

450
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Are you ready? 
- Annabelle: ... no ...

451
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick (forceful): Are you ready, dear?
- Annabelle: ... Yes, damn you!

452
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Would you adore me as much, 
if I were poor?

453
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(laughs) Or do you want to be 
as a lovely widow?

454
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's almost time to lock up the house.

455
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And then your party will really begin.

456
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I wonder how it will end.

457
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
( knocking )

458
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: It's close to midnight, Lance.

459
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: Ok. I'll be down in a minute.

460
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
( knocks )

461
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Nora) Who is it?

462
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Your host, my dear.

463
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: It's almost midnight, Nora.

464
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We're all going to get together 
down in the living room.

465
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora: All right, Mr. Loren.
I'll be right down.

466
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
( recoils in disgust )

467
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
( gasping )

468
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Jonas: Come with us.

469
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Come with us, before he kills you!

470
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
( screams )

471
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: Where's Nora? Miss Manning?

472
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora: I don't want to stay here!

473
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Nora, what happened?

474
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
( creaking )

475
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: That's Jonas Slydes and his wife.

476
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
They've been caretakers here for years.

477
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
She's blind, you know.

478
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora: I'm not going to stay here!

479
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Doctor, it looks like we have 
a real case of hysteria on our hands.

480
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: I think she's just a little upset, 
not hysterical.

481
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
( door opening )

482
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: Good evening.

483
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Hello, my dear.

484
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This is my wife.
These are our guests...

485
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Fredrick) Ruth Bridgers,

486
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Fredrick) Doctor Trent,

487
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Fredrick) You know Watson Pritchard, 
of course,

488
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Fredrick) Nora Manning,

489
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Fredrick) and this is Lance Schroeder.

490
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora (whispering): Get me out of here!

491
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance (whispering): What about the $10,000?

492
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora (whispering): I don't care! 
He wants to kill me!

493
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance (whispering): Who wants to kill you?

494
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora (whispering): Mister Loren.

495
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: May I have your attention, please?

496
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: I think you all remember

497
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Fredrick) the bargain we made about 
staying all night?

498
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: $10,000 a piece.

499
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
If any of you don't survive, $50,000 
will be divided amongst the rest of you.

500
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: If I should die...

501
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: ...you will be paid 
by my estate.

502
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: When the door is locked 
from the outside by the caretakers,

503
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
we'll all be forced to stay in this house 
until morning.

504
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
If any of you decide not to stay, 
you must leave with the caretakers now.

505
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: You won't have a chance 
to change your minds later.

506
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Because there'll be no way to get out.

509
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
( loud bang )

510
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: It isn't midnight, yet! 
Who told them they could leave?

511
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Watson: They never leave before midnight.

512
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: They've gone, now.

513
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: I was going to ask you 
whether you wanted to stay or not,

514
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but it seems the caretakers 
have made the decision for you.

515
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: We're all locked in, now.

516
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora: But I don't want to stay!

517
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: I'm sorry, my dear.
But it's too late, now.

518
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: Darling, haven't you had enough 
of this silly game?

519
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Get some cars up here for these people, 
and let them go home.

520
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: But pay them, first.

521
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: This is your party, remember?

522
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: In spite of my wife's faith 
in my ability to do the impossible,

523
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
we will all have to stay in this house 
until eight o'clock in the morning.

524
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: But, we have some party favors 
for you...

525
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
In these little coffins.

526
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Fredrick) This is my wife's idea.

527
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Fredrick) I must say, I think it's rather 
dangerous.

528
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: I suppose you all know 
how to use one of these things.

529
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: In case you don't,

530
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you just press down on this lever
with your thumb...

531
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And then pull the trigger.

532
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
( bang )

533
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: You see? They're loaded.

534
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Watson: These are no good 
against the dead -

535
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- only the living.

536
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Doctor?

537
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Lance?

538
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Nora?

539
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: Go ahead. Take it.

540
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Miss Bridgers?

541
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: And here's yours, dear.

542
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: I don't need it.

543
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: It was your idea.

544
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Who knows, you may want to use it 
on me before this night is over.

545
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Watson: Throw these guns away.
They won't do you any good.

546
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: I agree with Pritchard, 
although not for the same reason.

547
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: Dr. Trent, don't you approve 
of our little party favors?

548
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: Suppose Nora had a gun,

549
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
when she mistook the blind woman 
for a ghost?

550
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Ruth: I don't think anyone else 
is going to walk around in total darkness.

551
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: Oh I'm sure we're not going to 
go running around the house

552
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
shooting each other, aren't you?

553
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: Who knows? Fear makes people 
do amazing things.

554
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora: Mister Pritchard...

555
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora: You said your sister-in-law killed 
a man and a woman here and cut them up?

556
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You said they found hands and feet, but 
they never found any heads?!

557
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Would you like to see one of those heads?!

558
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora: Would you all like to see 
one of those heads?!

559
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Just follow me!

560
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: Darling, I really don't 
need this.

561
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora: Just, go look in my 
suitcase. Go look!

562
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora: But it was in there!

563
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Nora) A woman's head!

564
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: Nora, I think you're 
a little upset.

565
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Would you care for a sedative?

566
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nora: Get out!

567
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Get out, all of you!

568
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
All of you, get out of here 
and leave me alone!

569
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Just get out of here!

570
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
( crying )

571
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Do you think it's all right 
to leave her by herself, Doctor?

572
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: I wish she'd taken the sedative.

573
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Ruth: What do you suppose 
she thought she saw?

574
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Watson: They're closing in on her.

575
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: Look, Doc, I think somebody 
ought to stay with her.

576
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Watson: There could be a million people 
around her -

577
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- if they wanted her, they'd get her.

578
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: What if he's right?

579
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: He's too drunk to know 
what he's talking about.

580
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: I wonder...

581
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: I'll join you in a minute.

582
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: Do you think it would do any good 
if you went in and talked to her?

583
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Ruth: Do you think there really was a 
head in her suitcase?

584
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: I don't know...

585
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Ruth: A thing like that would put me 
right over the edge.

586
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: Would you, sort of, stay up here? 
In case she needs help?

587
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Ruth: All right. I'll be in my room.

588
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: Thanks.

589
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: Are you sure there are only seven 
people in this house?

590
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Positive... 
Except for the ghosts.

591
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: I don't believe in ghosts.

592
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nor in frightening women.

593
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
In Nora's case, it's gone far enough.
Perhaps, too far.

Fredrick: What do you suggest 
we do about it, doctor?

any more.

(Watson) The only door to the outside 
is made of steel.

676
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Watson: The bars of the windows 
are set in solid stone.

677
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We gotta stay.

678
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: I'm not afraid of your ghosts, 
Pritchard.

679
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: But I am afraid.

680
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: When we came here a few hours ago,

681
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the only thing we had in common 
was the $10,000 we'd get.

682
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: Now, however, we share 
something else -

683
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- the death of Mrs. Loren.

684
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: So far, tonight, one of us was 
almost killed by a falling chandelier.

685
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: One of us was mysteriously slugged.

686
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(David) One of us has been driven to 
the brink of absolute hysteria.

687
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(David) And one of us is dead.

688
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: Were these accidents?
Suicide?

689
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: And we must stay here 
for six more hours!

690
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Watson: Six hours? Six of us...
Time enough.

691
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: Who'll be next?

692
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(David) How will it happen?

693
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Let me as you a question, 
Doctor.

694
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: You were the first one 
to see my wife there.

695
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Fredrick) Did you also see anything that 
she could've climbed up on,

696
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Fredrick) and then jumped?

697
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: No.

698
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Did any of you?

699
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: There was nothing.

700
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
How, then, did she get up there, so high?

701
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: Exactly, Mr. Loren. How?

702
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
She couldn't have pulled herself up there.

703
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
She couldn't have dropped 
from the ceiling.

704
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Do you think your wife killed herself?

705
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: No. She was murdered.

706
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
By one of you.

707
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: Or, you, Mr. Loren.

708
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: To deliberately kill someone, 
you must have a reason.

709
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: We were all strangers to your wife.

710
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Lance) Only you had a motive for murder.

711
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: What husband hasn't, at some 
time, wanted to kill his wife?

712
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
What husband hasn't had a thousand 
opportunities

713
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to do it in such a way

714
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that he'd never be suspected?

715
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm not such a fool to hang my wife from 
the ceiling by a rope.

716
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: The fact remains that you, 
or one of us,

717
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
murdered Mrs. Loren.

718
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And that's a matter for the police.

719
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: So how do we get the police.

720
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: That's my point.
We can't until morning.

721
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: What began as a silly party, 
given by an eccentric,

722
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
has now involved us all in murder.

723
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: For once, Pritchard may be right.

724
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
If another murder's in the works, 
let's stop it now.

725
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Ruth: Another murder?

726
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: Why not. 
Maybe one of us saw too much.

727
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: Why should, a millionaire want to 
give each of us $10,000

728
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to spend one night in a gloomy old house?

729
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
To see some ghosts? To have a party?

730
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: No!

731
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: Have you finished trying me, 
Doctor?

732
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And is the verdict "guilty of murder"?

733
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: This isn't getting us anywhere.

734
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Somebody killed Mrs. Loren, 
we know that.

735
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
One of us is guilty, 
and the rest of us are innocent.

736
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: Now, what we have to do 
for the next six hours

737
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is protect ourselves.
From each other.

738
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Ruth: You really think -
Lance: I don't think anything.

739
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I just know that I'm going to my room.

740
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And if anybody comes in, I'll shoot him.
Or her.

741
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: And if we all stay in our rooms, 
we'll be safe.

742
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Because the innocent will have 
no reason to leave his room.

743
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And the guilty will admit his guilt 
if he or she does.

744
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lance: And we all have guns.

745
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fredrick: We're all agreed?

746
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Ruth: I wish this night were over.

747
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Watson: Rooms. Guns. I tell you, 
it doesn't make any difference.

748
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
They aren't through with us yet.

749
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

that we planned it that way?

849
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
That we drove her to it?

850
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: What about my suicide?

851
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: Just a ghost-party gag.

852
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We'll claim it was a dummy, 
since I'm the only one that touched you.

853
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: And the caretakers?

854
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: Well, they had no idea 
what they were really doing.

855
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Annabelle: What about Nora? 
She's not stupid, you know.

856
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
David: Darling, believe me.

857
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Everything we planned is working perfectly.

Nora is sure Fredrick murdered you.

859
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
She thinks Fredrick attacked her 
in the cellar - not me.

860
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Now Nora's almost out of her mind 
with fear.

The heads, the music, your hanging -

862
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I tell you, when Fredrick walks in there, 
she'll shoot him.
