The ghosts are moving tonight - 
restless, hungry.

00:01:02.468 --> 00:01:04.589
May I introduce myself?

00:01:04.906 --> 00:01:06.609
I'm Watson Pritchard.

00:01:07.747 --> 00:01:11.509
In just a minute I'll show you the only
really haunted house in the world.

00:01:13.218 --> 00:01:15.243
Since it was built a century ago,

00:01:15.258 --> 00:01:17.067
seven people, including my brother,

NOTE Paragraph

00:01:17.087 --> 00:01:18.987
have been murdered in it.

00:01:19.842 --> 00:01:22.802
Since then, I've owned the house.

00:01:23.901 --> 00:01:26.211
I've only spent one night there.

00:01:26.245 --> 00:01:28.335
And when they found me in the morning I...

00:01:28.488 --> 00:01:30.288
I was almost dead!

00:01:30.987 --> 00:01:35.185

I'm Frederick Loren.

00:01:41.714 --> 00:01:44.505
And I've rented the house on Haunted Hill
tonight

00:01:44.601 --> 00:01:46.274
so that my wife can give a party.

00:01:46.592 --> 00:01:49.332
A haunted house party. (chuckles)

00:01:49.945 --> 00:01:52.725
She's so amusing.

00:01:52.766 --> 00:01:55.634
There will be food and drink and... 
ghosts.

00:01:56.137 --> 00:01:58.109
And perhaps even a few murders.

00:01:58.864 --> 00:02:00.894
You're all invited.

00:02:01.094 --> 00:02:04.092
If any of you will spend the next 
twelve hours in this house,

00:02:04.252 --> 00:02:06.855
I'll give you each $10,000 -

00:02:06.855 --> 00:02:09.948
- or your next of kin, 
in case you don't survive.

00:02:10.358 --> 00:02:12.797
Ah, but here come our other guests.

00:02:16.495 --> 00:02:22.115
(Frederick) It was my wife's idea 
to have our guests come in funeral cars.

00:02:22.740 --> 00:02:24.752
She's so amusing.

00:02:24.752 --> 00:02:27.532
Her sense of humor is, shall we say, 
original.

00:02:28.070 --> 00:02:29.993
I dreamed up the hearse.

00:02:29.993 --> 00:02:31.987
It's empty now, but -

00:02:32.210 --> 00:02:34.750
- after a night in the house on Haunted Hill -

00:02:34.824 --> 00:02:36.664
- who knows?

00:02:37.315 --> 00:02:40.088
This is Lance Schroeder, a test pilot.

00:02:40.088 --> 00:02:42.424
So, no doubt a brave man.

00:02:42.424 --> 00:02:45.796
But don't you think you can be 
much braver if you're paid for it?

00:02:45.822 --> 00:02:47.511
And I happen to know that Lance

00:02:47.511 --> 00:02:49.903
needs the ten thousand I'll give him,

00:02:49.903 --> 00:02:52.349
if he's brave enough to stay all night.

00:02:52.470 --> 00:02:54.150
This is Ruth Bridgers.

00:02:54.430 --> 00:02:57.170
You've no doubt read her column
in the newspapers.

00:02:57.289 --> 00:02:59.530
She says her reason 
for coming to the party

00:02:59.530 --> 00:03:02.340
is to write a feature article on ghosts.

00:03:02.448 --> 00:03:06.288
She's also desperate for money. 
Gambles.

00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:10.270
You've already met Watson Pritchard,

00:03:10.341 --> 00:03:12.681
a man living in mortal fear of a house,

00:03:12.737 --> 00:03:15.807
and yet he's risking his life 
to spend another night here.

00:03:15.913 --> 00:03:17.373
I wonder why.

00:03:17.485 --> 00:03:19.535
He says "for money".

00:03:20.033 --> 00:03:23.962
This is Dr. David Trent, a psychiatrist.

00:03:24.698 --> 00:03:28.058
He claims that my ghosts 
will help his work on hysteria.

00:03:28.901 --> 00:03:31.780
But don't you see a little touch of greed there

00:03:32.424 --> 00:03:35.011
around the mouth and eyes?

00:03:36.686 --> 00:03:38.734
This is Nora Manning.

00:03:38.930 --> 00:03:41.752
I picked her from the thousands of people who work for me

00:03:41.770 --> 00:03:44.561
because she needed the ten thousand most.

00:03:44.870 --> 00:03:46.619
Supports her whole family.

00:03:46.972 --> 00:03:48.530
Isn't she pretty?

00:03:52.140 --> 00:03:53.934
The party's starting now.

Nora: It isn't a very warm welcome, is it?

00:06:46.666 --> 00:06:49.183
Watson: Only the ghosts in this house
are glad we're here.

00:06:50.968 --> 00:06:53.794
Ruth: Are we all strangers to each other?

Don't you two know each other?

Lance: I'm afraid I don't even 
know your name.

- Lance Schroeder.

00:07:03.531 --> 00:07:05.485
Lance: I've heard of him, 
but I've never met him.

Nora: I work for one of his companies.

00:07:07.798 --> 00:07:09.175
But I've never seen him.

00:07:09.187 --> 00:07:11.719
Ruth: I've never met the man either.
Just a phone call.

00:07:11.761 --> 00:07:13.214
Do you know him?

00:07:13.525 --> 00:07:14.630

who does.

Watson: I don't know him.

00:07:18.913 --> 00:07:21.300
All the details about running the house
were done by mail.

David: He's quite wealthy, isn't he?

00:07:23.211 --> 00:07:24.721
Ruth: Millions.

00:07:24.882 --> 00:07:28.175

- Ruth: Four, I think so far.

00:07:28.282 --> 00:07:31.687
David: A $50,000 party for
only five people is a little steep.

00:07:31.687 --> 00:07:33.849

anybody,

00:07:38.878 --> 00:07:40.907

Couldn't you've had the place cleaned?

00:08:45.330 --> 00:08:48.061
Fredrick: Atmosphere, darling. 
You know how ghosts are.

00:08:48.061 --> 00:08:48.971
They never tidy up.

00:08:49.112 --> 00:08:51.039
That's a very fetching outfit,

00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:52.744

Why none of our friends?

Fredrick: Friends? Do we have 
any friends?

00:09:11.208 --> 00:09:12.981
Annabelle: No. Your jealousy 
took care of that.

Fredrick: I had a reason for inviting 
each guest.

00:09:16.965 --> 00:09:19.020
I wanted a cross section.

00:09:19.511 --> 00:09:21.295
From psychiatrist to typist.

00:09:21.623 --> 00:09:23.859
And from drunk to jet pilot.

00:09:25.380 --> 00:09:27.486
They share one thing. 
They all need money.

00:09:29.038 --> 00:09:31.087
Now, let's see if they're brave enough 
to earn it.

00:09:32.625 --> 00:09:33.866
Annabelle: And you call this a party?

00:09:34.930 --> 00:09:35.937
Fredrick: Could be.

00:09:40.308 --> 00:09:41.811
Annabelle: Why do you always do that?

00:09:42.182 --> 00:09:42.585
It spoils the champagne.

00:09:43.927 --> 00:09:44.763
Fredrick: It might explode.
- (Annabelle) It never does.

00:09:47.848 --> 00:09:48.846
Fredrick: Will you guarantee that?

00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:51.994
Annabelle: That isn't funny, Fredrick.

00:09:51.994 --> 00:09:53.722
Fredrick: It'd make a good headline.

00:09:53.726 --> 00:09:56.384
"Playboy kills wife with champagne cork".

00:09:58.494 --> 00:10:00.888
- Will you join me?
- Annabelle: No, thank you.

00:10:02.434 --> 00:10:04.714
Fredrick: Just a sip 
might improve your humor.

00:10:05.144 --> 00:10:07.261
Annabelle: My humor is fine, thanks.

00:10:07.344 --> 00:10:09.110
And I haven't poisoned it.

00:10:10.298 --> 00:10:12.494
Fredrick: It's always good to know that.

00:10:16.478 --> 00:10:19.835
Fredrick: Have some. You'll enjoy 
the party more.

00:10:21.655 --> 00:10:22.395
Go on.

And I'm not going to the party.

00:10:34.034 --> 00:10:36.663
Fredrick: Of all my wives, 
you're the least agreeable.

00:10:36.663 --> 00:10:38.124
Annabelle: But, still alive.

00:10:38.554 --> 00:10:42.248
Fredrick: Would you go away, for 
a million dollars, tax-free?

00:10:43.389 --> 00:10:45.427
You want it all, don't you?

00:10:45.467 --> 00:10:47.292
Annabelle: I deserve it all.

00:10:47.852 --> 00:10:49.767
Your jealousy isn't tax-free.

00:10:50.256 --> 00:10:52.726
And your possessiveness is maddening.

00:10:54.176 --> 00:10:56.603
Fredrick: If ever a man had grounds 
for divorce...

00:10:57.385 --> 00:11:00.503
- Annabelle: But can't prove them.
- Fredrick: The time will come.

00:11:00.766 --> 00:11:02.829
Fredrick: You'll slip up 
one of these days.

00:11:02.839 --> 00:11:05.780
- Annabelle: You think so?
- Fredrick: If I live long enough.

00:11:06.828 --> 00:11:09.835
Fredrick: Do you remember the fun we had 
when you poisoned me?

00:11:11.503 --> 00:11:13.958
Annabelle: Something you ate, 
the doctor said.

00:11:14.271 --> 00:11:16.756
Fredrick: Yes. Arsenic on the rocks.

00:11:20.236 --> 00:11:23.804
You'd do it again if you thought you could
get away with it, wouldn't you!?

00:11:23.824 --> 00:11:25.993
Annabelle: Darling, what makes you
think that?

00:11:26.542 --> 00:11:28.499
Fredrick: Something about you.

00:11:31.534 --> 00:11:35.432
I hear that hanging is very uncomfortable,
in case you get any more ideas.

00:11:36.186 --> 00:11:39.498
(Fredrick) Don't let the ghosts and the 
ghouls disturb you, darling.

00:11:40.487 --> 00:11:43.811
Annabelle: Darling, the only ghoul 
in the house is you.

00:11:44.471 --> 00:11:47.963
Fredrick: Don't sit up all night, 
thinking of ways to get rid of me.

00:11:48.114 --> 00:11:50.053
It makes wrinkles.

00:12:04.139 --> 00:12:06.961
Watson: This is what she used 
on my brother and her sister.

00:12:07.508 --> 00:12:09.056
Hacked 'em to pieces.

00:12:09.471 --> 00:12:11.758
We found parts of the bodies 
all over the house.

00:12:11.784 --> 00:12:13.281
In places you wouldn't think.

00:12:14.352 --> 00:12:16.780
A funny thing is, the heads have 
never been found.

00:12:17.395 --> 00:12:19.182
Hands and feet and things like that.

00:12:19.649 --> 00:12:21.107
But no heads.

00:12:21.738 --> 00:12:25.192
David: The wife, in a rage, 
threatened her husband with a knife

00:12:25.192 --> 00:12:27.857
and then, carried away by hysteria, 
took a swing at him,

00:12:27.857 --> 00:12:29.311
and simply went on from there.

00:12:29.311 --> 00:12:32.832
Lance: She certainly went on. How many 
people did she kill, Mr. Pritchard?

00:12:32.832 --> 00:12:34.043
Watson: Only two.

00:12:34.043 --> 00:12:36.415
Her husband and her sister. No one 
else was here.

00:12:36.416 --> 00:12:39.866
Lance: So there are two loose heads 
floating around here somewhere?

00:12:39.866 --> 00:12:41.706
Watson: You can hear them at night.

00:12:41.844 --> 00:12:44.644
They whisper to each other.
And then cry.

00:12:45.006 --> 00:12:46.525
( Lance laughs )

00:12:46.623 --> 00:12:49.942
Ruth: Since our host isn't here, 
would anyone care to mix me a drink?

00:12:50.405 --> 00:12:52.509
David: Certainly. What will you have?

00:12:52.512 --> 00:12:53.499

00:12:56.459 --> 00:12:57.692
Fredrick: Good evening.

00:12:57.916 --> 00:13:01.008
I'm your host, Fredrick Loren.

00:13:02.492 --> 00:13:06.181
Since we're all strangers to each other, 
let's get acquainted with a drink.

00:13:06.514 --> 00:13:10.961
Watson: Mr. Loren, I advise you to 
call this party off now.

00:13:11.146 --> 00:13:13.649
The ghosts are already moving 
and that's a bad sign.

00:13:13.942 --> 00:13:16.879
Fredrick: Let me apologize for my wife. 
She'll join us later.

00:13:16.890 --> 00:13:18.820
- What will you have?
- Ruth: Scotch and.

00:13:18.893 --> 00:13:20.931
- Doctor?
- David: I'll have the same.

00:13:20.966 --> 00:13:24.965
Fredrick: Now, before the party begins, 
let's go over the details.

00:13:25.698 --> 00:13:28.211
The caretakers will leave at midnight,

00:13:28.236 --> 00:13:31.143
locking us in here, 
until they come back in the morning.

00:13:31.682 --> 00:13:34.789
Once the door is locked, 
there's no way out.

00:13:35.357 --> 00:13:38.703
(Fredrick) The windows have bars
that a jail would be proud of.

00:13:39.446 --> 00:13:42.696
(Fredrick) And the only door 
to the outside locks like a vault.

00:13:42.816 --> 00:13:47.731
There's no electricity. No phone.
No one within miles.

00:13:48.468 --> 00:13:50.512
So, no way to call for help.

00:13:51.995 --> 00:13:54.092
Watson: Like a coffin.

00:13:56.474 --> 00:13:59.248
Fredrick: So, if any of you decide 
to not stay for the party,

00:13:59.248 --> 00:14:01.297
you must let me know before midnight.

00:14:01.708 --> 00:14:05.357
Of course, if you leave, I shan't be able 
to pay you anything.

00:14:06.110 --> 00:14:09.686
David: I'm interested in your reasons 
for this... "party".

00:14:10.707 --> 00:14:12.706
Aside from present company.

00:14:14.407 --> 00:14:15.864
Fredrick: Ghosts, Doctor!

00:14:16.501 --> 00:14:19.141
I think everyone wonders 
what they would do

00:14:19.149 --> 00:14:20.864
if they saw a ghost.

00:14:23.430 --> 00:14:26.073
Fredrick: And now my wife has given us 
the opportunity to find out.

00:14:26.461 --> 00:14:27.626
David: Hm. Amusing.

00:14:27.642 --> 00:14:31.112
David: Ghosts, etcetera, being only 
creations of hysteria,

00:14:31.447 --> 00:14:33.689
your party should be a success!

00:14:34.275 --> 00:14:36.927
Fredrick: Pritchard here promises us 
genuine ghosts.

00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:40.834
Watson: Seven, now. Maybe more 
before morning.

00:14:41.998 --> 00:14:43.417
Fredrick: That's cheerful.

00:14:44.578 --> 00:14:47.000
Watson: Four men have been 
murdered in this house.

00:14:48.538 --> 00:14:49.525
And three women.

00:14:49.893 --> 00:14:52.361
David: You planned your party 
very well, Mr. Loren.

00:14:52.361 --> 00:14:54.154
Four of us are men. Three are women.

00:14:55.118 --> 00:14:56.401
A ghost for everybody.

00:14:57.808 --> 00:15:01.321
Fredrick: Pritchard, why don't you take 
us on a tour through the house?

00:15:01.322 --> 00:15:02.416
Let's see what happens?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Watson: See that stain? Blood.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Watson: A young girl was killed here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And whatever got her, wasn't human.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
- Don't stand there!
- Ruth: What do you mean? Where?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Watson: It's too late. 
They've marked you.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: Ridiculous. The roof 
probably leaks.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ruth: That must be what it is. 
Who'd want to haunt me?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: I'd say any self-respecting 
male ghost.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Watson: I hope it doesn't come back.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: Well, Mr. Pritchard, you're the 
life of the party.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: He hasn't even started yet.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Wasn't there a man who threw his wife 
into a wine vat or something?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Watson: That was in the cellar.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There's been a murder almost every 
place in this house.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Watson: All this belonged to a Mr. Norton, 
who didn't die here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He was electrocuted later.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Watson: Mr. Norton did a good deal of 
experimenting with wines.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But his wife didn't think it was any good.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So he filled a vat with acid and 
threw her in.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Watson) She was supposed to stay down,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but the bones came up.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Watson: It's a funny thing.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
None of the murders here 
were just ordinary.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Just shooting. Or stabbing.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They've all been sort of wild. Violent. 
Different.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: Look out!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Watson: Thank God she didn't fall in.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: You mean there's still acid
in there?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
( violent bubbling )

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Watson: Destroys everything 
with hair and flesh.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Just leaves the bones.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Watson: My, it's dry and dusty down here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: Well there's... a cure... 
for that... upstairs.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: How'd you get invited 
to this party?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: I mean, what'd he tell you?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: Mr. Loren said everybody would get 
$10,000.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: But he didn't say anything about 
being locked in.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: No.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: He just made the deal with me 
on the phone.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But nothing about having to stay.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: Aren't you going to stay?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: If I don't, I lose $10,000.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: I'm going to stay, too. 
$10, 000...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: Yes... Do you believe in ghosts?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: I don't know.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: Well, I agree with what 
that doc says.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You can spook yourself.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I've done it in planes. Seen things 
that weren't really there.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Or, were they?
( laughing )

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: What are you going to do 
with your $10,000?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If we get it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: What do you mean 
"if we get it"?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Won't he pay us if we stay?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: Sure he will. $10,000 is no more 
to him,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
than a nickle is to us.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: We were in an automobile accident.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now I'm the only one in the family 
who can make any money.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: Boy, I've never seen so many doors.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: Bottles!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: Does it go anywhere?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
( door creaks and slams )

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: Lance!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance!

♪ ( dramatic music ) ♪

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: Help me! Please!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance is gone and there's a ghost!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
- David: A ghost?
- Watson: See what I mean?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
- Nora: Please! Come on!
- Ruth: Did she say Lance is gone?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ruth: Gone where?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: We'll have to break it down. 
It's locked!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: Locked?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: You all right?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: Nothing that money won't cure.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I must have - I must have bumped my head.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: The only way you could bump 
your head in here -

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
- is to run head-on into the wall.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: You didn't do that, did you?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Let's get a bandage on that.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Watson: I wonder why they didn't 
kill him.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ruth: Who?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Watson: He didn't bump his head.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They hit him.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ruth: They?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
♪ ( eerie music ) ♪

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: Nora, you said something 
about a ghost.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: There was something.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: What did it look like?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: It was wearing a black thing 
that went all the way to the floor.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: Weren't you a little frightened 
at the time?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: Well, yes.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: That, Mr. Loren, is hysteria.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: Well, then, Doctor, how do you 
explain what happened to Lance?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Was that hysteria, too?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: You'd better get that checked in 
a day or so.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: Thanks, Doc.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance (whispering): Wait for me 
in the hall.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Watson: The ghosts are coming closer, 
Mr. Loren.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: You really believe in your pet 
ghosts, don't you Pritchard?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Watson: Before the night's over, you 
will, too.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: Would you like a drink, Lance?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: No thanks.
- Ruth: I'd like one. Scotch and.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ruth: Mr. Loren, are you really going to 
pay anyone who stays all night?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: Certainly. $10,000.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ruth: Will there be much red-tape 
or delay?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: In a hurry, dear?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ruth: Frankly, yes.
(muttering) Or 'frantically'.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: There you are, my dear.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
( clock ticking )

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: Someone or some thing was in here 
when I came in.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But where?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If the door was locked, 
how did it get out?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What you saw might have been a ghost,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but what was in here was no ghost.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: I don't know. I was so scared.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: Does that sound different to you?
- Nora: Yes!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
( knocking with echoes )

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: 3... 6... 9... 12.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: 12 feet.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: 3... 6.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: I'm going to knock on the 
other wall.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When you hear me, you knock on this wall.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
( knocking with echoes from first room )

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
( Nora knocks )

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Lance) Tap lower down!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
( knocking with echoes )

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
( Nora screams in terror )

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
( sobbing )

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: Oh Lance! I saw it again!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: Where'd it come from?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: From in here!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: Well if it'd ran out of here - 
I'd have seen it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: Lance, it doesn't run, 
it just floats!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: But why didn't I see it?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: You don't believe me!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance (laughing): How can I?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: I'm Annabelle Loren.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You must be Miss Manning.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I realize this is a very unusual 
and, I'm afraid, very dull party.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Wouldn't you like to freshen up?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: This is your room.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Depressing, isn't it?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: I doubt if I'll spend much time here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: It's going to rain. Perfect 
atmosphere for my husbands party.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Why did you come here?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: He said he'd give me $10,000.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: Why did he pick you?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: I don't know. My supervisor just 
said I'd been invited.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: How long have you known my 
husband?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: I just met him tonight.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: So... why you?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What were you doing wandering around 
by yourself?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: I was in the cellar with Lance - 
Mr. Schroeder - I just left, that's all.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: Don't do it again.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Annabelle) Don't go anywhere in this 
house by yourself.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now fix your face and I'll come by 
for you in a few minutes.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: But I -
- Annabelle: You're in danger.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We all are.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: But who?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: I hope, for your sake, 
you never find out.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: I'm Annabelle Loren. 
Were you looking for something?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: Not exactly.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: Are you the doctor?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: No. I'm Lance Schroeder.
- Annabelle: The pilot.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You've hurt yourself.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: Oh, it's just a bump on the head.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Which is my room?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: I believe this is it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: Thank you, Mrs. Loren.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: Annabelle, Lance.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: You were with the young girl 
in the cellar.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Why was she so upset?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: Was she?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: And you don't look like 
the type to go around bumping his head.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What really happened, Lance?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: Nora thought she saw a ghost, 
but I didn't see anything.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: She was just frightened, then?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: And mad at me, I think. 
I kidded her about it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: I wouldn't joke about anything 
else that happens here tonight.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: Now, don't tell me you're taking 
all of this seriously?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: Aren't you?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: Well, I'd like to find out 
what hit me.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: Lance...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If I need help, may I count on you?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: Yes, sure. I guess so.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Look - what's going on here, anyway?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What's with this party business?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: This is no party, 
he's planning something.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: Your husband?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: I wish I knew what it was.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: It must be pretty big, 
if he's going to lay out $50,000.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: Money doesn't mean anything.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He has a reason for getting us all 
up here to this dreadful old house.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: Well, what for? He doesn't 
even know us.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: Maybe that's exactly 
why you're here?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance (scoffs): What can he get away with?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: Oh, he thinks that big money 
like his can get away with anything.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You know, of course, that 
I'm his fourth wife.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The first simply disappeared...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The other two died.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance, I don't want to join them.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: You mean, he, uh -

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: Oh, his doctors said 
they died of heart attacks.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Two girls, in their twenties.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: Well, what can he do?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: My husband is sometimes 
insane with jealousy.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nothing matters to him then. 
Please be careful.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: Would he hurt you?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: He would kill me if he could.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: Annabelle, you're missing 
all the fun.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora Manning was almost killed 
by a falling chandelier.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The pilot bashed his head in.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: Is he badly hurt?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: The saturnine psychiatrist 
bandaged him up.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Don't you want to go and console him?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
As you do, most men, in your fashion.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: You're so clever, Fredrick.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: I lie awake nights, 
wondering why I married you.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It was rather a mistake.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: You didn't marry me, dear.
I married you.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Unpleasant, but no mistake.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: Hurry up!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: Fredrick, for the last time, 
I'm not going to your party.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: And, for the last time, 
it's not my party -

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
- but yours.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And you are going.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: I am not.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: Are you ready? 
- Annabelle: ... no ...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick (forceful): Are you ready, dear?
- Annabelle: ... Yes, damn you!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: Would you adore me as much, 
if I were poor?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(laughs) Or do you want to be 
as a lovely widow?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's almost time to lock up the house.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And then your party will really begin.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I wonder how it will end.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
( knocking )

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: It's close to midnight, Lance.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: Ok. I'll be down in a minute.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
( knocks )

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Nora) Who is it?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: Your host, my dear.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: It's almost midnight, Nora.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We're all going to get together 
down in the living room.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: All right, Mr. Loren.
I'll be right down.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
( recoils in disgust )

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
( gasping )

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Jonas: Come with us.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Come with us, before he kills you!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
( screams )

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: Where's Nora? Miss Manning?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: I don't want to stay here!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: Nora, what happened?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
( creaking )

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: That's Jonas Slydes and his wife.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They've been caretakers here for years.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
She's blind, you know.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: I'm not going to stay here!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: Doctor, it looks like we have 
a real case of hysteria on our hands.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: I think she's just a little upset, 
not hysterical.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
( door opening )

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: Good evening.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: Hello, my dear.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is my wife.
These are our guests...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Fredrick) Ruth Bridgers,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Fredrick) Doctor Trent,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Fredrick) You know Watson Pritchard, 
of course,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Fredrick) Nora Manning,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Fredrick) and this is Lance Schroeder.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora (whispering): Get me out of here!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance (whispering): What about the $10,000?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora (whispering): I don't care! 
He wants to kill me!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance (whispering): Who wants to kill you?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora (whispering): Mister Loren.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: May I have your attention, please?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: I think you all remember

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Fredrick) the bargain we made about 
staying all night?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: $10,000 a piece.

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.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: If I should die...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: ...you will be paid 
by my estate.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: When the door is locked 
from the outside by the caretakers,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we'll all be forced to stay in this house 
until morning.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If any of you decide not to stay, 
you must leave with the caretakers now.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: You won't have a chance 
to change your minds later.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Because there'll be no way to get out.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
- Nora: I don't want to stay!
- Lance: Wait!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
( wind whistles, chandelier clatters )

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
( loud bang )

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: It isn't midnight, yet! 
Who told them they could leave?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Watson: They never leave before midnight.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: They've gone, now.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: I was going to ask you 
whether you wanted to stay or not,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but it seems the caretakers 
have made the decision for you.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: We're all locked in, now.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: But I don't want to stay!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: I'm sorry, my dear.
But it's too late, now.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: Darling, haven't you had enough 
of this silly game?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Get some cars up here for these people, 
and let them go home.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: But pay them, first.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: This is your party, remember?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: In spite of my wife's faith 
in my ability to do the impossible,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we will all have to stay in this house 
until eight o'clock in the morning.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: But, we have some party favors 
for you...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In these little coffins.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Fredrick) This is my wife's idea.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Fredrick) I must say, I think it's rather 
dangerous.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: I suppose you all know 
how to use one of these things.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: In case you don't,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you just press down on this lever
with your thumb...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And then pull the trigger.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
( bang )

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: You see? They're loaded.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Watson: These are no good 
against the dead -

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
- only the living.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: Doctor?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: Lance?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: Nora?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: Go ahead. Take it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: Miss Bridgers?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: And here's yours, dear.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: I don't need it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: It was your idea.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Who knows, you may want to use it 
on me before this night is over.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Watson: Throw these guns away.
They won't do you any good.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: I agree with Pritchard, 
although not for the same reason.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: Dr. Trent, don't you approve 
of our little party favors?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: Suppose Nora had a gun,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
when she mistook the blind woman 
for a ghost?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ruth: I don't think anyone else 
is going to walk around in total darkness.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: Oh I'm sure we're not going to 
go running around the house

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
shooting each other, aren't you?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: Who knows? Fear makes people 
do amazing things.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: Mister Pritchard...

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?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You said they found hands and feet, but 
they never found any heads?!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Would you like to see one of those heads?!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: Would you all like to see 
one of those heads?!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Just follow me!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: Darling, I really don't 
need this.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: Just, go look in my 
suitcase. Go look!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: But it was in there!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Nora) A woman's head!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: Nora, I think you're 
a little upset.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Would you care for a sedative?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nora: Get out!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Get out, all of you!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
All of you, get out of here 
and leave me alone!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Just get out of here!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
( crying )

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: Do you think it's all right 
to leave her by herself, Doctor?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: I wish she'd taken the sedative.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999

she thought she saw?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Watson: They're closing in on her.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: Look, Doc, I think somebody 
ought to stay with her.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Watson: There could be a million people 
around her -

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
- if they wanted her, they'd get her.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: What if he's right?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999

what he's talking about.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: I wonder...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Annabelle: I'll join you in a minute.

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?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ruth: Do you think there really was a 
head in her suitcase?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: I don't know...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ruth: A thing like that would put me 
right over the edge.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: Would you, sort of, stay up here? 
In case she needs help?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ruth: All right. I'll be in my room.

people in this house?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: Positive... 
Except for the ghosts.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: I don't believe in ghosts.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nor in frightening women.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In Nora's case, it's gone far enough.
Perhaps, too far.

we do about it, doctor?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999

any more.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
- why did you come into this room?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999

into this room again!

Watson: Where's whats-her-name?
Nora?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999

since I didn't think this concerns her.

Fredrick: You're right.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: Mr. Loren, isn't there some way 
we can get out of this house now?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Watson: No... none at all.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: We could try breaking out.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Watson) The only door to the outside 
is made of steel.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Watson: The bars of the windows 
are set in solid stone.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We gotta stay.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: I'm not afraid of your ghosts, 
Pritchard.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: But I am afraid.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: When we came here a few hours ago,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the only thing we had in common 
was the $10,000 we'd get.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: Now, however, we share 
something else -

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
- the death of Mrs. Loren.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: So far, tonight, one of us was 
almost killed by a falling chandelier.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: One of us was mysteriously slugged.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(David) One of us has been driven to 
the brink of absolute hysteria.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(David) And one of us is dead.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: Were these accidents?
Suicide?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: And we must stay here 
for six more hours!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Watson: Six hours? Six of us...
Time enough.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: Who'll be next?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(David) How will it happen?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: Let me as you a question, 
Doctor.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: You were the first one 
to see my wife there.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Fredrick) Did you also see anything that 
she could've climbed up on,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Fredrick) and then jumped?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: No.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: Did any of you?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: There was nothing.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
How, then, did she get up there, so high?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: Exactly, Mr. Loren. How?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
She couldn't have pulled herself up there.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
She couldn't have dropped 
from the ceiling.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Do you think your wife killed herself?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: No. She was murdered.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
By one of you.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: Or, you, Mr. Loren.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: To deliberately kill someone, 
you must have a reason.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: We were all strangers to your wife.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Lance) Only you had a motive for murder.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: What husband hasn't, at some 
time, wanted to kill his wife?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What husband hasn't had a thousand 
opportunities

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to do it in such a way

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that he'd never be suspected?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm not such a fool to hang my wife from 
the ceiling by a rope.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: The fact remains that you, 
or one of us,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
murdered Mrs. Loren.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And that's a matter for the police.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: So how do we get the police.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: That's my point.
We can't until morning.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: What began as a silly party, 
given by an eccentric,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
has now involved us all in murder.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: For once, Pritchard may be right.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If another murder's in the works, 
let's stop it now.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ruth: Another murder?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: Why not. 
Maybe one of us saw too much.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: Why should, a millionaire want to 
give each of us $10,000

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to spend one night in a gloomy old house?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
To see some ghosts? To have a party?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: No!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: Have you finished trying me, 
Doctor?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And is the verdict "guilty of murder"?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: This isn't getting us anywhere.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Somebody killed Mrs. Loren, 
we know that.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
One of us is guilty, 
and the rest of us are innocent.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: Now, what we have to do 
for the next six hours

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is protect ourselves.
From each other.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ruth: You really think -
Lance: I don't think anything.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I just know that I'm going to my room.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And if anybody comes in, I'll shoot him.
Or her.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
David: And if we all stay in our rooms, 
we'll be safe.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Because the innocent will have 
no reason to leave his room.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And the guilty will admit his guilt 
if he or she does.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lance: And we all have guns.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fredrick: We're all agreed?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ruth: I wish this night were over.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Watson: Rooms. Guns. I tell you, 
it doesn't make any difference.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They aren't through with us yet.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999

of saying "good night"?
