0:01:13 > 0:01:16- WOMAN:- I remember -
0:01:16 > 0:01:19long ago, I read a book.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21It told the meaning of dreams.
0:01:22 > 0:01:27It said that if a girl dreams of a boat or a ship,
0:01:27 > 0:01:30she will reach a safe harbour.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33But if she dreams of daffodils...
0:01:34 > 0:01:36..she is in great danger.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41But this is no time for me to think of danger.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44This is my wedding day.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54"Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue."
0:01:55 > 0:01:59"Something old" is this church - four centuries old.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04Mark says it's a felicitous structure...
0:02:04 > 0:02:07..it's vaultings, pilasters, walls,
0:02:07 > 0:02:10its altars, its chandeliers,
0:02:10 > 0:02:18tuned to a perfect harmony - built so that here, only events of joy can happen.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21400 years of joy!
0:02:22 > 0:02:26"Something new" is Mark himself,
0:02:26 > 0:02:29and love is new for me.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41My heart is pounding so.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44The sound of it drowns out everything.
0:02:44 > 0:02:49It's said that when you drown, your whole life passes before you.
0:02:51 > 0:02:57Here it is, in 12-point bold. My sister breaks another engagement.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Darling, I never dreamed of marrying him.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Trombone player! Heaven forbid!
0:03:03 > 0:03:11- I'd sooner see you marry that witch-doctor of yours.- Curtis? He's a brilliant psychoanalyst.
0:03:14 > 0:03:21- What are you holding out for? - I still have time, Rick. Why should I tie myself down?
0:03:26 > 0:03:34I'm not rushing you, but being mother and father and cheque-signer for you has its worrisome moments.
0:03:34 > 0:03:40- New York's a bull market for you in good, eligible men. - As good as you, Rick?
0:03:40 > 0:03:45I wasn't proposing a miracle, but I won't be around as long as you.
0:03:45 > 0:03:51They don't make spare parts for this, and mine has a lot of mileage on it.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55Ahem! >
0:03:57 > 0:04:01I'm sorry, Rick. Your secretary said I could...
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Come in, Bob. This is strictly legal!
0:04:04 > 0:04:12Speak of the devil, Celia! Here's a thoroughly eligible man. A top-flight lawyer, Bob Dwight. My sister Celia.
0:04:15 > 0:04:23'My brother Rick. That was the last time we were close. And when you died, Rick, life was lonely.'
0:04:23 > 0:04:30Rick was a cagey investor. It's your money now and I've set up a trust fund.
0:04:30 > 0:04:39- Unless you revoke it, not even your husband can touch the capital.- Has a fortune-hunting husband popped up?
0:04:39 > 0:04:44- The woodwork is crawling with them. You know that.- I wasn't looking.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48I...I like you very much, Celia.
0:04:48 > 0:04:53When you're settled, I'm going to ask you to marry me.
0:04:53 > 0:04:59Bob, I'm settled now. I'm tired of being the darling of the stag-night.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02I don't want an answer now, Celia.
0:05:02 > 0:05:08- You're depressed about Rick, and I want you to be sure.- But I...
0:05:08 > 0:05:16- Why don't you go to Mexico with the Potters?- Will you come too?- No, but I'll be here when you come back.
0:05:37 > 0:05:44- It's awfully commercial. - My dear, it's perfect for Bob! - All right. The initials are RD.
0:05:44 > 0:05:51I nearly married a man like Bob, but he broke it off when he found out... WOMAN SCREAMS
0:06:02 > 0:06:09Celia, let's get out of here. I don't want to be an innocent bystander. Come on! What's wrong with you?
0:06:09 > 0:06:14'There was nothing wrong with me, but I was strangely held.
0:06:14 > 0:06:20'I'd seen fights before - night-club brawls over the cigarette-girls.
0:06:20 > 0:06:25'When one man was knocked down, the fight was over. This was different.
0:06:25 > 0:06:33'A woman, and two men who may have known her an hour or less, fighting for her with naked knives.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38'Death was in that street, and I felt how proud she must be.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54'Suddenly I felt that someone was watching me.
0:06:54 > 0:07:01'There was a tingling at the nape of my neck, as if the air had turned cool.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03'I felt eyes touching me...
0:07:03 > 0:07:05'..like fingers.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12'A current flowed between us,
0:07:12 > 0:07:16'warm and sweet, but frightening too.
0:07:16 > 0:07:21'He saw, behind my make-up, what no-one had ever seen,
0:07:21 > 0:07:23'something I didn't know was there.'
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Let's go!
0:07:27 > 0:07:34- You looked as though you'd seen Death himself!- That's not how he looks.- What?- Oh...
0:07:34 > 0:07:41- Weren't you going to phone the hotel about Arthur?- Oh, good heavens, yes! One drink too many, and he's a beast!
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Waiter, where's the telephone? Alla, senorita.
0:07:47 > 0:07:52Thanks. I'll have the bellhop put him to bed, otherwise...!
0:08:05 > 0:08:09I'd sent Edith away because I'd planned my strategy.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14I wanted to meet him on my own ground...not his.
0:08:24 > 0:08:29- The fight finished just after you left.- How did it end?
0:08:30 > 0:08:35- The big gypsy had the knife. - What did the woman do?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38To the victor belong the spoils.
0:08:40 > 0:08:48When I last saw her, she was hanging on his arm. By the way, I don't think RD will like that wallet -
0:08:48 > 0:08:51not if he's anything like me.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59- He's not a bit like you. - And YOU aren't what you seem to be.
0:08:59 > 0:09:08There's something in your face I saw once before - in South Dakota, wheat country, in cyclone weather.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12Just before the cyclone, the air has a...stillness,
0:09:12 > 0:09:16a flat, gold... shimmering stillness.
0:09:16 > 0:09:22It's in your face - the same hush before a storm. And when you smile,
0:09:22 > 0:09:25it's like the first breath of wind.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29I know that there is a turbulence behind that smile.
0:09:29 > 0:09:37'I heard his voice, and then I didn't hear it any more. The beating of my blood was louder.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41'This was what I'd hunted for in New York.
0:09:41 > 0:09:46'I knew before I heard his name or touched his hand.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50'For an endless moment, I seemed to float
0:09:50 > 0:09:55'like a feather in a place where time had stopped.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56'Strange.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59'I thought then of daffodils.'
0:09:59 > 0:10:05You were living that fight. You soaked up the love, hate, passion.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09You've been starved of feelings, any real feelings.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12I thought, "She's Sleeping Beauty,
0:10:12 > 0:10:16"a wealthy American girl who's been wrapped in cotton wool.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20"But...she wants to wake up.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22"Maybe she can."
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Is it as hard as all that?
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Most people are asleep.
0:10:27 > 0:10:34- My dear...!- I'm Mark Lamphere. - How do you do? Arthur went berserk after his 12th bourbon.
0:10:34 > 0:10:42He chased the chambermaid! He only wanted to pinch. Then he bathed in the patio fountain.
0:10:42 > 0:10:49- Sit down, I'm not as poisonous as I look. What did you say your name is?- Mark Lamphere.
0:10:49 > 0:10:54- He's been saying I'm a Sleeping Beauty.- An original approach(!)
0:10:54 > 0:11:02I suppose you, Prince Charming, will kill the dragon, cut through the hedge and give her the magic kiss?
0:11:02 > 0:11:08I'd forgotten the dragon...and I think the hedge is only camouflage.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12- Darling, shouldn't you be with Arthur?- No.
0:11:13 > 0:11:21Oh, yes. Yes, of course. Arthur will be touched by your concern(!) The dragon is routed, Mr Lamphere.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38'The next days, we were together 24 hours a day.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42'The third night, we stopped at the little wishing well.'
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Celia, when are you going back to New York?
0:11:47 > 0:11:55- We'll be on the noon plane tomorrow. I wasn't going to tell you.- I wanted you to know me much better.
0:11:55 > 0:12:03I know you fairly well. You're a successful architect. You publish a magazine on modern architecture.
0:12:03 > 0:12:08That's the factual Mark, but there's another Mark I wanted you to know.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Mm-hm.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Mark, I want to be honest with you.
0:12:12 > 0:12:19Something these past three days - something in you - threw me off my course.
0:12:19 > 0:12:24I'm afraid I'll close the door to a quiet, familiar room that's safe.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29- There's a warm fire burning on the hearth, and...- And RD?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Yes.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- Want to make a wish? - Do you believe in it?
0:12:39 > 0:12:47There's probably a man who rakes the centavos out and blesses the credulous fools who throw them in.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51Well...to be on the safe side...
0:12:59 > 0:13:02What did you wish?
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Celia!
0:13:12 > 0:13:15I need you! I need you more than...
0:13:16 > 0:13:19'One door closed.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22'Another opened wide, and I went through.
0:13:22 > 0:13:29'Wind was there, and space, and sun and storm - everything was beyond that door.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32'That night, I wrote to Bob.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46'Suddenly, I am afraid.
0:13:46 > 0:13:52'I am marrying a stranger - a man I don't know at all.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56'I could leave. I could run away, there's still time.
0:13:58 > 0:14:05'But what would people say? I can't leave. It just isn't done. But I'm afraid.'
0:14:06 > 0:14:09MEXICAN ACCENT: My dear friends,
0:14:09 > 0:14:14you are about to enter a union of which God is author.
0:14:15 > 0:14:20With this ring I thee wed, and I plight unto thee my troth.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25'Maybe I should have followed the dark voice in my heart.
0:14:25 > 0:14:31'Maybe I should have run away. It started on our honeymoon.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36'The Hacienda Dos Encantos. The famous fountain.
0:14:36 > 0:14:43'Legend says that if lovers drink from it, they will always speak from their hearts,
0:14:43 > 0:14:46'and will keep no secrets from each other.
0:14:46 > 0:14:51'Their two hearts will become truly...one.'
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Mmm...don't go.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15SQUAWK!
0:15:25 > 0:15:32The doorways, the grille-work, the walls - distilled romance. It's built into the place.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36- D'you know what I think? - Don't think.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- Just feel.- I might have known. No woman CAN think.
0:15:41 > 0:15:48- Now wait!- No woman should even try. Thinking is the prerogative of men.- Oh?
0:15:48 > 0:15:52Women are nearer to nature. They don't think, they feel.
0:15:52 > 0:15:57Men think for hours. Women reach the same conclusions by instinct.
0:15:57 > 0:16:06A poet said, "Women are happy, and children, and animals, but we human beings? We are not."
0:16:08 > 0:16:12Was that from your heart? Darn the fountain.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15But it's true, my gentle dove(!)
0:16:15 > 0:16:21As intelligence improves, instinct withers away. We become inhibited.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24"Inhibited" isn't the word for you!
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Thank you.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31No. You stay away.
0:16:34 > 0:16:41I'd have needed months of research to find a place like this - so felicitous, so inviting for love.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45It IS a happy place.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48You know, I have a hobby.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51I collect rooms - felicitous rooms.
0:16:51 > 0:16:59- For felicitous people?- Right. That's why I run this magazine - so that I can discuss my theories.
0:16:59 > 0:17:04I think the way a place is built determines what happens in it.
0:17:06 > 0:17:13For instance, here's a church in Austria, where miracles happen. The lame walk, the blind see.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16There's a room near Williamsburg
0:17:16 > 0:17:19that jinxes lovers.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22A girl refused George Washington there.
0:17:22 > 0:17:28Later, Jefferson proposed and was turned down cold in the same room.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33Certain rooms cause violence, even murders.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Mark, my sweet, you're crazy!
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Yes. Maybe I am.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Come here, darling.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44That fountain's done enough damage.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Complaints! Do I talk too much?
0:17:47 > 0:17:51Right now, I'd settle for a little less talk.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58< Senora! Senora! Come!
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Your bath!
0:18:01 > 0:18:08- Paquita's timing needs adjustment. I was just going to mix you a drink.- I'll bet!
0:18:08 > 0:18:14Come up as soon as she leaves me. I'll take a raincheck on that drink.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15Ow!
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Today, 200 strokes.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25You're plotting to make me late.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Senora, in marriage,
0:18:28 > 0:18:31where one is wise, two are happy.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34A woman has patience,
0:18:34 > 0:18:37a man...none.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Shush!
0:18:46 > 0:18:47Senora,
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- let him wait.- Get out!
0:19:19 > 0:19:21200 strokes.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Oh, Mark!
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Mark, where are you?
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Mark, you sweet dope!
0:19:58 > 0:19:59Mark!
0:20:02 > 0:20:07You can't get away from me. Oh darling, I love you so much.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- Pray we won't be separated long. - What?
0:20:13 > 0:20:21- If I start now, I can get the midnight plane to Mexico City. - What are you talking about?
0:20:22 > 0:20:25The Stanton Company -
0:20:25 > 0:20:30the New York publishers - have always wanted to buy my magazine.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Their offer only holds for two more days.
0:20:33 > 0:20:38- You want to sell it? - Who said "want"? It's losing money.
0:20:38 > 0:20:43- I have money!- I know, but that's not why I married you.
0:20:43 > 0:20:50- Why give up something you have your heart in?- I'm glad their offer is big enough to force me to decide.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Shall we have a drink?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04What made you decide so suddenly?
0:21:04 > 0:21:11I had a telegram an hour ago. I'll send the car back for you, with the driver.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14You can meet me at Levender Falls.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Not...in New York?
0:21:17 > 0:21:22No. The Lampheres have lived at Levender Falls since 1698.
0:21:22 > 0:21:27It's the other side of the river - an hour's drive from New York.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Well - our first "so long".
0:21:33 > 0:21:37Mark...didn't you come upstairs just now?
0:21:38 > 0:21:40No.
0:21:40 > 0:21:45To be honest, I was too upset when I got that telegram.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48But...I saw the door handle move.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Mark, you're hurt!
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Nothing important.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01Just the perfect ending to a beautiful day(?)
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Well! Till Levender Falls!
0:22:06 > 0:22:10'His kiss was cold. In an hour he was gone,
0:22:10 > 0:22:13'and I was alone.'
0:22:13 > 0:22:14Senora?
0:22:14 > 0:22:18I won't want anything, thank you, Paquita.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19Senora.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Yes, Paquita?
0:22:51 > 0:22:56Senora, I am an old, married woman. Of pain I know much.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Paquita...
0:22:58 > 0:23:03Better you know it now, senora. There was no telegram.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Here, no telegram can come.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09Thank you, Paquita, but you must be mistaken.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Si, senora.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Of course there was no telegram.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21But when Paquita told me, the pain started.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Why had he gone? Why had he lied?
0:23:24 > 0:23:27It was agony.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30I tried not to think any more...
0:23:36 > 0:23:39..but my mind was on a treadmill.
0:23:39 > 0:23:44Why had he lied? Why had he gone? Why had he lied, why had he gone?
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Because I locked the door?
0:23:48 > 0:23:52He said he hadn't come up, but he had.
0:23:52 > 0:23:57I knew it was Mark who tried the door. I knew it all the time.
0:23:57 > 0:24:05Surely my childish prank hadn't changed his love for me? So why had he gone? Why had he lied?
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Why had he gone? Why had he lied?
0:24:12 > 0:24:17I couldn't stand it any longer. I had to try to sleep.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Maybe Paquita was wrong.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Maybe the telegram came by mail.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30But Paquita wasn't wrong.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32There WAS no telegram.
0:24:32 > 0:24:37For some impossible reason, he'd lied to me.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41I lay there for hours...
0:24:44 > 0:24:47..or so it seemed to me.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50I couldn't sleep.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Over and over and over, the one thought -
0:24:57 > 0:24:59why doesn't he love me any more?
0:25:01 > 0:25:06Finally I must have fallen into a kind of half-sleep.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14I dreamed I heard the car coming back.
0:25:14 > 0:25:19It came closer and closer and stopped in front of the hacienda.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Mark was in it. He'd come back,
0:25:21 > 0:25:24but I wasn't glad.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28I was afraid, and my fear woke me up.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33KNOCKING
0:25:33 > 0:25:34Yes?
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Senora, the car came back.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44The driver say I must give this to you, pronto.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56The letter is good? Si?
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Oh Paquita, I've been such a fool!
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Such a silly, stupid fool!
0:26:03 > 0:26:08Five long days later, my train pulled in to Levender Falls.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Train for Hartsville,
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Vincent,
0:26:17 > 0:26:18Germanville!
0:26:18 > 0:26:21'I was looking for Mark.
0:26:24 > 0:26:29'I saw no sign of him. But I found myself being kissed by a stranger.'
0:26:29 > 0:26:36Celia? Mark said you were beautiful. I'm Caroline - Carrie, Mark's sister.
0:26:36 > 0:26:42- Of course! - I'm glad he's mentioned me. He forgets details! Is this yours?
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Part of it.
0:26:44 > 0:26:50- I've got some trunks. - Give me the checks and I'll have them picked up tomorrow.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Thank you.
0:26:52 > 0:26:58- I wired Mark.- He was delayed. He'll be here tomorrow. It's beastly of him!
0:26:58 > 0:27:03- Jim, put these bags in my car, please.- Yes, Miss Lamphere.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05It's a twelve-mile drive.
0:27:05 > 0:27:13Mark works at the house. He thought of moving his office there when rents became simply criminal.
0:27:13 > 0:27:18But he finally decided he needed the New York front.
0:27:33 > 0:27:38We're rather short on servants. We've only one old couple.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51That's probably David,
0:27:51 > 0:27:53- sizing you up.- David?
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Yes - Mark's son.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Andy!
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Andy and Sarah are slow as molasses.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11ANDY!
0:28:14 > 0:28:15Andy!
0:28:15 > 0:28:23- Yes, ma'am?- Didn't you hear the car? - No, ma'am.- This is Mrs Lamphere. - How do you do?
0:28:23 > 0:28:29- Her luggage is in the car.- Yes, ma'am.- I'll show you to your room.
0:28:30 > 0:28:35'Why didn't Mark tell me that he'd been married? That he has a son?
0:28:35 > 0:28:40'I want to have Mark's children - but not another woman's child.'
0:28:40 > 0:28:47The masks were collected by my great-grandfather. Hideous, aren't they?
0:28:52 > 0:28:55I suppose...David loves them.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57Not any more.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01Strange. I should think any boy would.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03David is a strange boy.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06This is one of the newer wings.
0:29:06 > 0:29:14Father started it and Mark did the rest when he needed more space for his workroom.
0:29:22 > 0:29:27- I think you'll be comfortable here. - I'm sure of it, Carrie.
0:29:32 > 0:29:40- I imagine you'll want a day or two to adjust before you take over. - What? Sorry. I was wool-gathering.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Oh, just put them anywhere.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51I asked when you wanted to start managing the house.
0:29:51 > 0:29:56I'm bone-lazy, Carrie. I sleep till ll o'clock.
0:29:56 > 0:30:01I'm not even conscious until I've had three coffees. Won't you do it?
0:30:01 > 0:30:07Just as you say. I was managing the house even before Mother died.
0:30:07 > 0:30:12- I'll need time to make friends with David.- That will take time.
0:30:12 > 0:30:18I told Sarah to heat some water for your bath. I'll run it for you.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27- What does he like?- Who?- David.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Oh...books.
0:30:30 > 0:30:38- Is that all?- He's very difficult since his mother died. Didn't Mark warn you?- Oh, yes, he did.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42- This is the bedroom.- It's lovely.
0:30:42 > 0:30:47Mark got the wallpaper at an auction in Paris. The candlesticks too.
0:30:47 > 0:30:54- It's really dreamy. - I've always liked this room. Eleanor had a flair for decoration.
0:30:54 > 0:31:00- Mark didn't tell you?- I'd forgotten her name.- So you're not jealous?
0:31:00 > 0:31:03That would be rather foolish of me.
0:31:03 > 0:31:10You're very sensible. Eleanor had a certain charm, but it was enamelled and aloof.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14Are you hungry? What would you like?
0:31:14 > 0:31:19- I eat everything.- I'll fix a tray while you have your bath.- Thank you.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41- Carrie! - DOOR BANGS
0:31:53 > 0:31:56SHE KNOCKS
0:32:07 > 0:32:09Carrie!
0:32:11 > 0:32:14I was...looking for Miss Lamphere.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18I'm Miss Robey, Mr Lamphere's secretary.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20May I help you?
0:32:20 > 0:32:27I'm Celia Barrett... I mean, Mrs Lamphere. I saw you at the window.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30- It was you I saw?- No.
0:32:30 > 0:32:36- It was rather dark. Caroline thought it was David.- Very likely.
0:32:36 > 0:32:44- I'm looking forward to meeting him. - He's not well. Since this afternoon. - I suppose that's because of me.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48- He loved his mother. - I see that makes him difficult.
0:32:48 > 0:32:55He isn't difficult. Only someone who doesn't care to know him would think that.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57He's a fine boy -
0:32:57 > 0:33:01nervous, maybe, and sensitive - he resents domination.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05That's ridiculous, Miss Robey. He's spoiled.
0:33:05 > 0:33:12- We nearly had a flood, my dear. - Good heavens! The tub!- I turned it off in time. Your supper's waiting.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16- Good night, Miss Robey. - Good night, Mrs Lamphere.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22I wish she'd mind her own business.
0:33:22 > 0:33:28Domination(!) I know what David needs - love of course, but a firm hand.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30I suppose he misses his mother.
0:33:30 > 0:33:35Eleanor pampered him. She and Mark were completely estranged.
0:33:35 > 0:33:43The break was final when he came back from the war. He moved into the room near the study.
0:33:43 > 0:33:48Eleanor became ill and shut herself off from everybody - except David.
0:33:48 > 0:33:54I noticed Mark's things weren't in there. I was going to protest!
0:33:54 > 0:34:01They came this afternoon. Sarah kept them in the refrigerator until you got here.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05The rat!
0:34:05 > 0:34:08- They're from Mark.- So I imagined.
0:34:08 > 0:34:15- And now I could eat a horse. - Everything was raised here - even the milk. We keep a Jersey.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18She's very good-looking.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20Who?
0:34:21 > 0:34:29- Miss Robey.- Oh. She used to be. When David was four, the summerhouse caught fire. She saved his life.
0:34:29 > 0:34:34- Her face was burned.- I wondered why she was wearing that scarf.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38It's a pity for a woman to be disfigured,
0:34:38 > 0:34:44but she uses it. I think gratitude has its limits, but you know Mark.
0:34:44 > 0:34:52- He should be old enough to know these things.- Men don't live to be THAT old! What time will he arrive?
0:34:52 > 0:34:58- The middle of the night for you - 8am!- Good grief! How could he?
0:34:58 > 0:35:01But I'll fix him. I'll be there.
0:35:07 > 0:35:12- Cheers, we made it!- Yes, ma'am, with a minute to spare by the clock.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17TRAIN WHISTLES
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Mark! Mark!
0:35:34 > 0:35:37Oh, darling Mark!
0:35:40 > 0:35:43Your heart is beating so fast.
0:35:43 > 0:35:48I'm flesh and blood. I can feel your heart too.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59- I'm tired.- You look tired, darling.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01Efficiently tired! Has it been bad?
0:36:02 > 0:36:06- Not good. - Didn't the sale go through?
0:36:07 > 0:36:14When they found out I needed the money, they got cagey and withdrew the offer.
0:36:14 > 0:36:18- I must see Townsend at the bank. - On our first day?
0:36:18 > 0:36:23Tell Andy to pick me up at about five. I'll see you at dinner.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57- When does the next train leave for New York?- 4.40, ma'am.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00- Thank you.- Yes, ma'am.
0:37:00 > 0:37:07- Good morning, Mrs Lamphere. Should Andy take your trunks now? - No, leave them here.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Home.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17Home! Where is home?
0:37:17 > 0:37:20Not with Mark. Not any more.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23It was a gamble, and I lost. Period.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28I'm going back to New York.
0:37:28 > 0:37:32Back to what? To the empty life I led before?
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Before Mark?
0:37:38 > 0:37:45If only Rick were alive, I could go home to Rick. But what would he say?
0:37:45 > 0:37:52He'd say, "Do you love him, or don't you? Forget your pride and hurt feelings."
0:38:02 > 0:38:07Andy, would you please go back to the station for my trunks?
0:38:44 > 0:38:46How do you do? I'm David.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50How do you do, David?
0:38:51 > 0:38:55- I'm glad you're feeling better. - Thank you.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57Am I disturbing you?
0:39:09 > 0:39:16Thanks. I'm happy to meet you. Miss Robey's told me nice things about you.
0:39:16 > 0:39:21- I like Miss Robey.- Aunt Caroline wouldn't agree with you.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28What are you interested in, David?
0:39:28 > 0:39:33- In what way?- In becoming? An architect too, I suppose?- NO!
0:39:39 > 0:39:42What are you reading?
0:39:42 > 0:39:46I appreciate that you're trying to make friends.
0:39:46 > 0:39:55- Yes, I am.- But there are things I'm afraid you won't understand.- I won't try to take your mother's place.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57You couldn't.
0:39:57 > 0:40:04Let's leave it this way. Apparently you're honest. That's unusual in this house.
0:40:04 > 0:40:09I was prepared to dislike you, but I find I have nothing against you.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12I shall call you Mrs Lamphere.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15Fair enough. I hope that later...
0:40:15 > 0:40:18CAR APPROACHES It's Father.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21Excuse me, would you, David?
0:40:29 > 0:40:33D'you want me to carry you over the threshold?
0:40:44 > 0:40:49- You're not angry?- I've buttered my bread - now I have to lie on it.
0:40:49 > 0:40:54No - I choose the weapons and the battleground. Come upstairs.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00- Was there a cyclone? - I'd call it an earthquake.
0:41:00 > 0:41:05The ground's been shaking under my feet ever since I got here.
0:41:05 > 0:41:09Lamphere skeletons come rattling out of every closet.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14Mark, why didn't you tell me you'd been married?
0:41:14 > 0:41:20Darling, you must have seen it when we got the marriage licence.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23It was tactful of you not to mention it.
0:41:23 > 0:41:31Rick told me to read everything - including the fine print - but you never mentioned David, or...
0:41:31 > 0:41:35It seemed so far away, so unrelated to you.
0:41:35 > 0:41:41After you left me at the station, I wanted to go back to New York.
0:41:41 > 0:41:46Then I conjured Rick up and he read me the riot act.
0:41:46 > 0:41:52- Finally, he asked me one question, and the answer was yes.- Yes what?
0:41:52 > 0:41:56Yes, I love you. But I can't help wondering if...you love me.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03You're...talking about Eleanor.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Celia,
0:42:06 > 0:42:08she was a...gentle person,
0:42:08 > 0:42:11not cold, but...
0:42:13 > 0:42:18..I couldn't give her love. I blame myself, but it wasn't a marriage.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20But you had a son.
0:42:21 > 0:42:26I was never close to him either. He blamed me for her unhappiness.
0:42:26 > 0:42:34- Was she very unhappy? - I didn't understand her and I couldn't make her understand me.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Let's not make the same mistake.
0:42:36 > 0:42:40I CAN understand - if you don't shut me out.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43What about this morning?
0:42:43 > 0:42:50- It's no excuse, but I was worried about the magazine. - What happened at the bank?
0:42:50 > 0:42:57I couldn't ask for a loan. The Lampheres have been looked up to for so many years.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00I'll have to sell, that's all.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Now listen, and don't interrupt.
0:43:03 > 0:43:10- You've been awfully stuffy about this, but I have money. - No, Celia, please!
0:43:10 > 0:43:15- I'm your wife. I'm more than the babe you whistled at.- I whistled?
0:43:16 > 0:43:19You whistled with your eyes.
0:43:19 > 0:43:25- I want to share your life.- No, I'd feel ashamed. Let's not discuss it.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27You're like a turtle!
0:43:27 > 0:43:32One wrong word, and I'm talking to a shell THAT thick!
0:43:32 > 0:43:38Family characteristic. It comes from old Snapper Lamphere, the swamp king(!)
0:43:38 > 0:43:42Now, may I go and change my shell for dinner?
0:43:42 > 0:43:45One more thing -
0:43:45 > 0:43:49I want to collect on that raincheck you gave me in Mexico.
0:43:49 > 0:43:54I can see that this is the day that all my sins have found me out.
0:43:55 > 0:43:57'We had passed our first test.'
0:43:57 > 0:44:01A week later, we had our house-warming.
0:44:01 > 0:44:07It was perfect. Everyone talked, nobody listened, and everybody took offence.
0:44:07 > 0:44:10THUNDER RUMBLES
0:44:10 > 0:44:18Then Nature joined the conversation. Suddenly, there was unanimous agreement.
0:44:22 > 0:44:26GENERAL HUBBUB
0:44:31 > 0:44:36Bless the rain! When it began, I was in the clutches of a local hayseed.
0:44:36 > 0:44:38Look!
0:44:40 > 0:44:43Cuddlesome, isn't he?
0:44:43 > 0:44:48- There's nothing I don't know now about lamb chops(!)- On the hoof?
0:44:48 > 0:44:50< I like mine medium rare.
0:44:50 > 0:44:55- Bob! But doesn't Mark have the decency to be jealous?- No.
0:44:55 > 0:45:00Did you just get here? No, I saw you yacking on the lawn.
0:45:00 > 0:45:06- I was getting rid of gallons of repressed poison.- Paging Mr Freud!
0:45:06 > 0:45:09Darling, my subconscious is a booby-trap.
0:45:09 > 0:45:12Behave, you two.
0:45:19 > 0:45:23Is she happy? Punch-drunk.
0:45:23 > 0:45:29He's broke. He hasn't a sou, except for what his magazine brings in.
0:45:29 > 0:45:32All this is mortgaged to the hilt.
0:45:32 > 0:45:39- I've watched you every minute. - I too.- I've missed you. - You'd better!
0:45:39 > 0:45:42How much longer... oh.
0:45:43 > 0:45:46Mind if I intrude on your pink cloud?
0:45:46 > 0:45:53- Come aboard.- Celia's letter from Mexico didn't make me jump for joy. - I hope not!
0:45:53 > 0:45:58- I can't promise to make her as happy as I am, but...- Oh, stop, you two!
0:45:58 > 0:46:03Mark, will you show some of the guests your rooms?
0:46:03 > 0:46:09- I don't know... Celia, I told you about them. - I'd love to see them!
0:46:09 > 0:46:15- I'll suggest games to the others.- Let's see how many customers we have.
0:46:16 > 0:46:17Rooms?
0:46:17 > 0:46:25Mark's hobby is to collect rooms that are somehow connected with happy events. He has a theory...
0:46:25 > 0:46:30..that a room can influence the actions of people living in it.
0:46:30 > 0:46:33The first room you will see
0:46:33 > 0:46:40is the salon of a French comtesse. It was sealed by her husband on the morning of August 25th, 1572.
0:46:40 > 0:46:45- MANY VOICES: Gorgeous! Beautiful! - It started my collection.
0:46:45 > 0:46:49- It must have cost a lot to copy it. - This isn't a copy.
0:46:49 > 0:46:53These are the original rooms.
0:46:53 > 0:47:00- I bet there's a love story. - Not...exactly.- What happened? - Murder, my dear.
0:47:00 > 0:47:05It was the eve of St Bartholomew's Day. The count's family, the Guises,
0:47:05 > 0:47:10planned to murder all the Huguenots in Paris.
0:47:10 > 0:47:13The count was a religious bigot.
0:47:13 > 0:47:18When he discovered that his beloved wife was secretly a Huguenot,
0:47:18 > 0:47:23she was nothing to him any more - a thing without a soul.
0:47:23 > 0:47:29She was lying on the chaise-longue, reading, when he came in.
0:47:29 > 0:47:32- Did he poison her? - Why? Oh, the glass.
0:47:32 > 0:47:35No, that was wine.
0:47:35 > 0:47:39But if you notice the handkerchief - there's a little blood.
0:47:39 > 0:47:42It was a rapier thrust.
0:47:45 > 0:47:50THIS weapon was more unusual. The killer used the floods of 1913.
0:47:50 > 0:47:55This was the cellar of a house in Missouri. The floods were severe.
0:47:55 > 0:48:03- He was a sordid little rat.- Who was the victim?- His mother.- It's rare for a son to murder his mother.
0:48:03 > 0:48:12- She's a Brain-Psych major. - The murder of women often has its motive in hatred for the mother.
0:48:13 > 0:48:18I think the motive was as common as dirt. The old lady was insured.
0:48:18 > 0:48:21He tied her to that chair.
0:48:21 > 0:48:25The waters were rising.
0:48:26 > 0:48:29You can see how high they rose.
0:48:33 > 0:48:38Don Ignacio couldn't stand the sight of blood. He was a cultivated man.
0:48:38 > 0:48:47Even in the wilderness of Paraguay, surrounded by desolate pampas, he lived a cosmopolitan life.
0:48:47 > 0:48:49He'd been educated in Paris.
0:48:49 > 0:48:54To Don Ignacio, murder, like love, was a fine art.
0:48:54 > 0:49:00In both, he was a perfectionist. Constancia, Maria, Isabella -
0:49:00 > 0:49:03they were all girls of flawless beauty.
0:49:03 > 0:49:08At his execution, he swore that he never intended to murder -
0:49:08 > 0:49:13what he hoped for was an ultimate and lasting love.
0:49:13 > 0:49:18But something - he spoke of an unholy emanation from this room -
0:49:18 > 0:49:22- drove him inevitably to kill. - Pretty far-fetched!
0:49:22 > 0:49:30- To him it seemed most apt.- A pity for him that in his day nothing was known about psychoanalysis.
0:49:30 > 0:49:33The room had nothing to do with it?
0:49:33 > 0:49:40It did. Something happened to him here in childhood. Perhaps he resolved to kill.
0:49:40 > 0:49:44- His conscious mind forgot... - But he killed?
0:49:44 > 0:49:48Naturally! But he didn't know why, he just had to.
0:49:48 > 0:49:54If he'd told someone what happened here, he wouldn't have had to murder.
0:49:54 > 0:49:59Unless his love for his victims made it necessary.
0:50:01 > 0:50:05Our next murderer was a blundering amateur.
0:50:14 > 0:50:16Didn't you say "happy events"?
0:50:18 > 0:50:23I'm sure that's what Mark said. I must have misunderstood, or...?
0:50:23 > 0:50:25Mark wouldn't lie to me.
0:50:30 > 0:50:37Celia, Rick left me with certain responsibilities, and... FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
0:50:37 > 0:50:40I may not be alone with you again.
0:50:40 > 0:50:47You've signed a power of attorney. Do you realise that gives Mark complete control over all your money?
0:50:47 > 0:50:55- It's for his magazine.- The magazine makes good money.- You're jealous! - If you feel that way...- Sorry.
0:50:55 > 0:50:59- Mark wouldn't do anything unfair. - LAUGHTER
0:50:59 > 0:51:04WOMAN: And they say women are canny! MAN: Mark's a lucky fellow!
0:51:04 > 0:51:11MAN: His first wife's money runs out, and she dies. The second wife has plenty too. Nice work!
0:51:11 > 0:51:20- Don't make a scene.- It's vicious. - It's gossip. Ignore it.- You tell me to ignore it, but YOU believe it!
0:51:20 > 0:51:22Celia!
0:51:22 > 0:51:24But there's not a male in the lot!
0:51:24 > 0:51:32I know we women can be provoking, but there must be some way short of murder to show male exasperation!
0:51:32 > 0:51:40From Eve till today, women are our greatest temptation. That's the last of the rooms, ladies and gentlemen.
0:51:40 > 0:51:44Oh...we haven't seen this one, have we?
0:51:46 > 0:51:47No.
0:51:47 > 0:51:50Isn't it complete?
0:51:50 > 0:51:51Yes.
0:51:51 > 0:51:54Then don't let's skip it.
0:51:54 > 0:52:00It's locked! This must be tops in gruesomeness. Open up, Mark!
0:52:00 > 0:52:02A man must have some secrets.
0:52:02 > 0:52:06Danger, darling. Never trust a man with secrets.
0:52:06 > 0:52:13- Doesn't your husband have any? - Naturally! It's instinctive for Arthur to hide things from me.
0:52:13 > 0:52:19- Arthur!- What is it, darling?- When the rain... Oh, heavens!- What is it?
0:52:19 > 0:52:26He was sleeping in one of those chairs in the garden, and I forgot him.
0:52:26 > 0:52:28He must be drowned by now.
0:52:35 > 0:52:40- It's good to be alone with you at last, darling. Nightcap?- Mm-hm.
0:52:50 > 0:52:52- Mark.- Hm?
0:52:52 > 0:52:57Didn't you say in Mexico that you collected happy rooms?
0:52:57 > 0:52:59Happy? No.
0:52:59 > 0:53:05- Do you mean felicitous?- Mm. - Felicitous doesn't mean happy, darling.
0:53:05 > 0:53:08It means...happy in effect. Apt.
0:53:08 > 0:53:15I use it to describe architecture that fits the events that happen in it.
0:53:15 > 0:53:17But why only murder-rooms, Mark?
0:53:17 > 0:53:25- Murder comes from strong emotion. It's a clear demonstration of my theory.- I was rather shocked.
0:53:25 > 0:53:28By the stories? Yes, they're pretty potent.
0:53:34 > 0:53:36No, it wasn't that. It was you.
0:53:36 > 0:53:45- Somehow I felt as I did that night in Mexico, and when I met you at the station.- What are you talking about?
0:53:46 > 0:53:51It was the way you... immersed yourself in those stories,
0:53:51 > 0:53:55as if you were happy about their deaths.
0:53:55 > 0:53:57Mark...
0:53:57 > 0:53:59..what's in the seventh room?
0:54:00 > 0:54:03It will never be shown to anyone,
0:54:03 > 0:54:08- not even to you.- Oh, Mark! What do you mean by never?
0:54:08 > 0:54:17- What would I mean?- I'm not just curious, darling. I don't mean to pry. I want to understand you.
0:54:17 > 0:54:23I have to live my own life! I've always been hemmed in by women -
0:54:23 > 0:54:26Caroline, Eleanor and now you!
0:54:26 > 0:54:31- The room's not worth quarrelling about.- I don't want to discuss it.
0:54:31 > 0:54:33The room is locked and stays locked!
0:54:39 > 0:54:44- Good morning.- Good morning, ma'am. - I thought you never woke before 11.
0:54:44 > 0:54:47- I couldn't sleep.- Butterflies?
0:54:47 > 0:54:49No, a little headache.
0:54:49 > 0:54:52- What are you planting?- Carnations.
0:54:52 > 0:54:55I like carnations -
0:54:55 > 0:55:00- deep red ones...and lilacs. - She liked lilacs too -
0:55:00 > 0:55:08Mr Mark's mother. This side of the house was a solid bank of it, white and purple, and that fuzzy kind.
0:55:08 > 0:55:11What happened to them?
0:55:11 > 0:55:18- They was dug up when Mr Mark came home from school.- He had them taken up the summer after Mother died.
0:55:18 > 0:55:22So long ago. Oh, Andy,
0:55:22 > 0:55:26- the bone-meal is on your work bench.- Yes, ma'am.
0:55:27 > 0:55:30Only after dinner.
0:55:30 > 0:55:35Celia, I've been trying to tell you for days - I'm glad you're here.
0:55:35 > 0:55:38Thank you, Carrie.
0:55:38 > 0:55:45- I blame myself for Mark's first marriage.- But... - I picked Eleanor for Mark.
0:55:45 > 0:55:52He was wild and unsettled. I made up my mind - and his - that he had to be married for his own good.
0:55:55 > 0:55:57I think I'll have that cigarette.
0:55:58 > 0:56:04I watched Mark at the party yesterday. He must love you very much.
0:56:04 > 0:56:07Thank you, Carrie.
0:56:10 > 0:56:15As a child, Mark was very like David - emotional, over-sensitive.
0:56:15 > 0:56:20Once, when he was ten, I locked him in his room - just to tease him.
0:56:20 > 0:56:27When he was let out, he was beside himself - screaming and crying with rage.
0:56:28 > 0:56:36- <- Are you deaf? Answer! I won't put up with your snooping. What did you think you'd find in my room?
0:56:36 > 0:56:39WHAT DID YOU THINK YOU'D FIND?
0:56:39 > 0:56:43Take that smirk off your face, and answer me!
0:56:44 > 0:56:47What are you afraid I COULD find?
0:56:47 > 0:56:51- You miserable, disgusting brat! - Mark, no!
0:56:51 > 0:56:53He's only a child.
0:56:53 > 0:56:59- You think you can handle him better than I?- Mark, what in heaven's...?
0:56:59 > 0:57:07You seem to have great sympathy for David. I can see why you might. I wish you'd try and understand ME!
0:57:07 > 0:57:09I'm sorry, Mrs Lamphere...
0:57:11 > 0:57:16..but you must never interfere between him and me.
0:57:16 > 0:57:18You see...
0:57:18 > 0:57:20..he killed my mother.
0:57:27 > 0:57:29Funny.
0:57:29 > 0:57:33Why do I keep on thinking about red carnations
0:57:33 > 0:57:35and lilacs?
0:57:35 > 0:57:40Maybe when pain is unbearable, one doesn't feel it any more.
0:57:41 > 0:57:44I came down here
0:57:44 > 0:57:46to write to tell Edith
0:57:46 > 0:57:50that the gardener found her husband's wallet.
0:57:54 > 0:57:57David is leaving.
0:57:58 > 0:58:01I shouldn't have let him go like that.
0:58:04 > 0:58:07I should have defended Mark.
0:58:08 > 0:58:12The gardener said he had the lilacs dug up.
0:58:15 > 0:58:22Oh, I'm thinking in circles. I must pull myself together. The whole thing is ridiculous.
0:58:22 > 0:58:27David is over-sensitive and high-strung.
0:58:27 > 0:58:33But how did Eleanor die? How...did...Eleanor...die?
0:58:34 > 0:58:40She thought Mark didn't love her. She became ill, and didn't want to live.
0:58:40 > 0:58:42She had no resistance left.
0:58:42 > 0:58:46'She loved Mark, but he didn't love her.
0:58:47 > 0:58:54'Can one kill by purposely denying someone love? By taking away the desire to live?'
0:58:56 > 0:59:00Mr Mark couldn't do enough to care for her.
0:59:00 > 0:59:03He brought her books, fruit, flowers,
0:59:03 > 0:59:06and he gave her her medicine himself.
0:59:06 > 0:59:08Mr Mark is the soul of kindness.
0:59:10 > 0:59:12I know, Sarah.
0:59:12 > 0:59:14I know.
0:59:16 > 0:59:20CAR APPROACHES
0:59:25 > 0:59:28He was hit by a car. It didn't stop.
0:59:28 > 0:59:31Miss Robey, get the first aid kit.
0:59:31 > 0:59:36- Don't bring him in the house. He's bleeding.- 'The soul of kindness.
0:59:36 > 0:59:41'What goes on in his mind, that he can change so suddenly?
0:59:41 > 0:59:48'He keeps it locked, like this door. I have to open them both - for his sake.'
0:59:50 > 0:59:53Mark!
0:59:57 > 1:00:02- Yes?- If you won't come to my rooms any more, I have to come to yours.
1:00:02 > 1:00:06- Do we have something to talk about? - I think so. David.
1:00:08 > 1:00:11I've no intention of discussing David.
1:00:20 > 1:00:24Mark... Mark, it's such an impossible situation.
1:00:24 > 1:00:27I have no time to listen.
1:00:27 > 1:00:32I'm in a hurry. I'm having dinner in town.
1:01:55 > 1:01:58Stupid of me to...take it off.
1:02:00 > 1:02:05It's just... Mr Lamphere stayed in town overnight, and it's so early...
1:02:05 > 1:02:12- Why do you want people to think you're disfigured? - There WAS an unpleasant scar.
1:02:12 > 1:02:17When I saved David's life, I saved myself too. I was going to be fired.
1:02:17 > 1:02:22Is the word too blunt for you? To me it's basic English.
1:02:22 > 1:02:25Mark was going to...?
1:02:26 > 1:02:28No, not he.
1:02:28 > 1:02:33Caroline and...Eleanor wanted me out of the house.
1:02:33 > 1:02:36Afterwards, everybody was grateful.
1:02:36 > 1:02:40Their gratitude has been my social security.
1:02:40 > 1:02:41But...
1:02:41 > 1:02:48Plastic surgery during my vacation. I meant to tell them, but when I heard...
1:02:48 > 1:02:53When you heard he'd married me? Was that why, Miss Robey?
1:02:53 > 1:02:58- You hoped he might marry you? - Now I suppose you'll tell him.
1:02:59 > 1:03:02If you don't want me to, no.
1:03:07 > 1:03:09I promise I won't tell anyone.
1:03:13 > 1:03:16Come on, now, Miss Robey. Come on.
1:03:16 > 1:03:18We'll both forget this morning.
1:03:19 > 1:03:22Where is your purse?
1:03:33 > 1:03:35Miss Robey?
1:04:49 > 1:04:52DOG GROWLS
1:04:56 > 1:05:00- DOG BARKS - Is there anyone there?
1:05:17 > 1:05:22I want New York. Gramercy 42757. This is 926.
1:05:26 > 1:05:28Hello. Operator?
1:05:28 > 1:05:30Hello? Is somebody there?
1:05:34 > 1:05:36What?
1:05:36 > 1:05:42- All right. Please call me back. No, MRS Lamphere.- Are you busy?
1:05:42 > 1:05:44Shall I come back later?
1:05:44 > 1:05:47No. I was calling Edith.
1:05:52 > 1:05:56- Were you in my room just now? - No, Mark. Why?
1:05:58 > 1:06:03I wondered. Celia, you're right. We do have to talk about David.
1:06:03 > 1:06:06- Yes, Mark. - That wasn't our first quarrel.
1:06:06 > 1:06:09I like him really, but...
1:06:09 > 1:06:15..sometimes I feel he rejects me, and I feel a sort of frenzy.
1:06:15 > 1:06:18And when you defended him...
1:06:18 > 1:06:21Celia, you mean so much to me...
1:06:25 > 1:06:28What about David?
1:06:28 > 1:06:35Everything here reminds him of his mother. If we send him to school in New York, he'll be with other boys.
1:06:35 > 1:06:42- And you'll have time to tame me. - I hadn't thought of that, but now that you...
1:06:42 > 1:06:47- What is it, Mark?- One of the candles is shorter than the other.
1:06:47 > 1:06:54- Does it matter, darling?- It jars me somehow. Breaks the symmetry.
1:06:54 > 1:06:58- PHONE RINGS - I'll tell Edith I'll call back.
1:06:58 > 1:07:02No, I'll see you later. I have to shave anyway.
1:07:11 > 1:07:14DOOR SHUTS
1:07:15 > 1:07:17Hello? Edith...
1:07:19 > 1:07:23Why can't Miss Robey go with me? She knows New York.
1:07:23 > 1:07:31- I can buy your clothes. - Bob says he'll get here later and drive David in if he can make it.
1:07:31 > 1:07:37- Otherwise he'll meet him at Grand Central. - Is David's registration there?
1:07:37 > 1:07:41- Here's something.- That's it.
1:07:41 > 1:07:43From Edith.
1:07:52 > 1:07:56'Time seems to stand still
1:07:56 > 1:07:59'when you wait for everyone else to sleep.'
1:08:08 > 1:08:11If I don't do it now, I'll never dare.
1:10:15 > 1:10:19'Eleanor's room - the bed she died in.'
1:10:19 > 1:10:21David was right.
1:10:21 > 1:10:23But no...
1:10:25 > 1:10:30This room is a copy. The others are actual rooms.
1:10:32 > 1:10:34What can it mean?
1:10:52 > 1:10:55Where are her things?
1:10:55 > 1:10:59The little things that made the room hers?
1:10:59 > 1:11:02Isn't the room finished?
1:11:08 > 1:11:11But Mark said it WAS finished.
1:11:16 > 1:11:21Oh Mark, darling, you blame yourself. You torture yourself.
1:11:21 > 1:11:25You think you killed because you couldn't give her love.
1:11:25 > 1:11:32- That's why the room is only a copy! You couldn't kill! - CLOCK CHIMES
1:11:36 > 1:11:38The candle!
1:11:38 > 1:11:41It's MY room.
1:11:41 > 1:11:43It's waiting for me!
1:11:48 > 1:11:51Don Ignacio's room.
1:12:52 > 1:12:57- I saw a light in your room. - I want to get away.
1:12:57 > 1:13:00- I want to leave. - I'll get your coat.
1:13:23 > 1:13:31- It's miles to the station. Here's the key to the station-wagon. - Thanks, Miss Robey.
1:13:57 > 1:13:59Constancia...
1:13:59 > 1:14:01Maria...
1:14:02 > 1:14:04..Isabella...
1:15:07 > 1:15:10SHE SCREAMS
1:15:21 > 1:15:24'It'll be a curious trial -
1:15:26 > 1:15:30'People of the State of New York versus Mark Lamphere,
1:15:30 > 1:15:34'charged with the murder of his wife, Celia.
1:15:38 > 1:15:40'Exhibit A.
1:15:40 > 1:15:45'What can I answer when I'm asked if the murder was premeditated?'
1:15:46 > 1:15:50Premeditated? I've planned it all my life.
1:15:50 > 1:15:55But you met your wife only this spring, in Mexico.
1:15:55 > 1:15:56Yes.
1:15:58 > 1:16:06I loved her very much, and... somehow I...felt as though I had been searching for her all my life.
1:16:06 > 1:16:11- <- To kill her? No! That came later.
1:16:11 > 1:16:14Did you also kill your first wife, Eleanor?
1:16:17 > 1:16:19No.
1:16:19 > 1:16:23I blamed myself. That's why I built the room.
1:16:23 > 1:16:27She died because I didn't love her,
1:16:27 > 1:16:31and...maybe unconsciously, I...wanted her to die.
1:16:31 > 1:16:36But no man is responsible for his unconscious thoughts.
1:16:36 > 1:16:41If YOU aren't responsible for your thoughts, who is?
1:16:41 > 1:16:46It depends how you live. I've always been dominated by women.
1:16:46 > 1:16:54First it was my mother. When she left me - when she died - it was Caroline, then Eleanor.
1:16:54 > 1:16:57I never lived a life of my own,
1:16:57 > 1:17:02and I may have thought of... You can't try a man for his thoughts!
1:17:02 > 1:17:07- But for their consequences! - I didn't kill Eleanor!
1:17:07 > 1:17:10But you did kill your wife, Celia!
1:17:15 > 1:17:17I tried not to kill.
1:17:26 > 1:17:31The first time, in Mexico, I ran away from her.
1:17:31 > 1:17:34The impulse to kill faded.
1:17:34 > 1:17:36I thought I'd dreamed it.
1:17:36 > 1:17:44Then, when she met me at Levender Falls, I...felt a deep and gentle kind of love.
1:17:46 > 1:17:47Until...
1:17:48 > 1:17:51..I don't know what it was.
1:17:51 > 1:17:58It swept over me like a haze. She became someone else - someone I had to kill.
1:17:58 > 1:18:01I fought it down, over and over again.
1:18:02 > 1:18:09There are dark forces in us. We're all children of Cain. We've all thought of murder.
1:18:11 > 1:18:16I can't help myself. I love her, but...so help me God,
1:18:16 > 1:18:20if Celia were here, I'd still have to kill her.
1:18:20 > 1:18:22< TAP! TAP!
1:18:25 > 1:18:27KNOCKING
1:18:28 > 1:18:31Oh, Mr Mark, you didn't answer.
1:18:31 > 1:18:35Miss Caroline wonders - are you coming down to breakfast?
1:18:38 > 1:18:39Breakfast...
1:18:41 > 1:18:44Tell Miss Caroline I'll come down.
1:18:46 > 1:18:51Mark, I can't run a household without some kind of co-operation.
1:18:51 > 1:18:56I'm taking David to New York today, AND doing the breakfast dishes.
1:18:56 > 1:19:02Andy and Sarah are going out. No-one has any consideration for me.
1:19:02 > 1:19:09- Miss Robey overslept. Celia isn't even in her room.- I know. She won't be here for breakfast.
1:19:09 > 1:19:12DOOR OPENS
1:19:16 > 1:19:23Miss Robey, make out your final check and leave here as soon as possible.
1:19:23 > 1:19:29- Mark!- I ask for a certain amount of loyalty from my employees.
1:19:29 > 1:19:31Miss Robey has deceived me.
1:19:33 > 1:19:36She told you?
1:19:36 > 1:19:42I trusted her when she said she wouldn't! You needn't be grateful any more!
1:19:42 > 1:19:45What does she mean?
1:19:46 > 1:19:49Who told you what?
1:19:49 > 1:19:52What did she do, Mark?
1:19:52 > 1:19:55She tried to interfere in my life,
1:19:55 > 1:19:58and I'm sick and tired of interference.
1:19:58 > 1:20:00Yes...
1:20:01 > 1:20:04I always thought she...
1:20:04 > 1:20:07But Mark, now I'll have to stay.
1:20:07 > 1:20:14I gather Celia has gone somewhere. I can't ask Andy and Sarah to stay, so you'll be alone.
1:20:16 > 1:20:23I WANT to be alone, and for the first time in your life, Carrie, I'm going to have what I want.
1:20:58 > 1:21:01DOOR OPENS
1:21:04 > 1:21:07I thought you left last night.
1:21:09 > 1:21:18I did. I ran into Bob on the road. He'd lost his way in the fog. I went with him to Levender Falls.
1:21:18 > 1:21:19Why?
1:21:19 > 1:21:22Why did you come back?
1:21:22 > 1:21:29Because I love you. Because I married you for better or for worse.
1:21:33 > 1:21:38- There you are. Andy's going to drive us to the station.- Celia's back.
1:21:38 > 1:21:41I'm glad, Mark. I'm so glad.
1:21:41 > 1:21:44- I want you and David to stay.- No.
1:21:44 > 1:21:46Now I have to go.
1:21:46 > 1:21:54Since breakfast I've been thinking. I always meant it for your good - arranging things for you.
1:21:54 > 1:22:00- But instead I only kept you from being happy. - You've got to stay!- No.
1:22:00 > 1:22:08You and Celia won't settle your differences with me here. Talk it out. I know you love her.
1:22:08 > 1:22:13If we're going to catch the train, we've got to leave.
1:22:13 > 1:22:15Goodbye, Mark.
1:22:31 > 1:22:35'I can't be alone with her. I can't.'
1:22:50 > 1:22:54Celia, I'm leaving. I have to go to New York.
1:22:55 > 1:22:58I'll miss you.
1:22:58 > 1:23:01You'll be all alone here. Everyone's left.
1:23:01 > 1:23:06- You'd better go to Levender Falls for the night.- I'm not afraid.
1:23:08 > 1:23:10Celia, I love you very much.
1:23:10 > 1:23:12I know.
1:23:20 > 1:23:24'In three hours, there'll be 100 miles between us.
1:23:24 > 1:23:27'In three weeks, 10,000 miles.
1:23:27 > 1:23:31'I must get away from her - as far as possible.'
1:23:31 > 1:23:34TRAIN APPROACHES
1:23:49 > 1:23:51Going to New York?
1:23:53 > 1:23:56I forgot something at home.
1:24:06 > 1:24:09PHONE RINGS
1:24:14 > 1:24:18- Hello, who is...? - THUNDER CRASHES
1:24:21 > 1:24:23Who?
1:24:23 > 1:24:30Oh, Miss Robey. No, Mr Lamphere's gone to New York. No, I don't know when he'll be back. Good night.
1:26:06 > 1:26:13I knew you wanted to kill me last night, and I know why you've come back.
1:26:13 > 1:26:18I wanted to save myself - but now I'd rather die than lose you.
1:26:18 > 1:26:23That would be a slow death, for a lifetime.
1:26:29 > 1:26:34Yes, lilacs have something to do with it.
1:26:34 > 1:26:43Search your mind, darling. There's something hidden so deep that you no longer know it's there.
1:26:43 > 1:26:47You're keeping something locked up in your mind.
1:26:47 > 1:26:53It's like this room - you don't want anybody to know what's in it.
1:26:53 > 1:27:00Once you said you loved me. But something forces you to hate me, to kill me.
1:27:02 > 1:27:04I don't hate you.
1:27:04 > 1:27:12At the station, you wanted to kiss me - until you saw the lilac in my lapel.
1:27:12 > 1:27:15My mother loved lilac.
1:27:15 > 1:27:19But you had all the bushes rooted out when she died.
1:27:19 > 1:27:22- I loved my mother.- Caroline told me.
1:27:22 > 1:27:27Did your mother hurt you when you were a child?
1:27:27 > 1:27:30- LOCK CLICKS - Did you hear...?
1:27:40 > 1:27:43I locked the door in Mexico. It began then!
1:27:54 > 1:27:56That summer...
1:27:57 > 1:28:03A beautiful summer... I was ten. I'd forgotten that summer.
1:28:03 > 1:28:05Because you didn't WANT to remember.
1:28:07 > 1:28:10Mother and father were separated.
1:28:10 > 1:28:14I didn't care. She was my whole world.
1:28:14 > 1:28:17I was with her in the garden.
1:28:17 > 1:28:23I can hear the bees humming on the flowers even now.
1:28:23 > 1:28:30- She picked masses of lilac. I helped her carry it to the house. - Locking the door?
1:28:30 > 1:28:37- What about locking the door? - She was going out dancing that night, and I was jealous.
1:28:37 > 1:28:40Carrie teased me. She always teased me.
1:28:40 > 1:28:48Mother said that when I was ready for bed, I could come to her room and she would read to me.
1:28:48 > 1:28:53It would have meant so much. She should have known.
1:28:53 > 1:28:57When I was ready for bed, I went to the door...
1:29:02 > 1:29:05You were locked in?
1:29:05 > 1:29:09SHE locked me in. I heard her turn the key.
1:29:11 > 1:29:14I called her, but she left for the dance.
1:29:14 > 1:29:19I pounded on the door until there was blood on my hands.
1:29:19 > 1:29:25I ran to the window and I saw her drive away with a man. I called her,
1:29:25 > 1:29:30and I cried. It was the last time in my life that I cried.
1:29:30 > 1:29:37I snatched the lilacs and strangled them. I killed them. I wanted to kill her.
1:29:37 > 1:29:41I was only ten. I hated her,
1:29:41 > 1:29:43and I knew that some day...
1:29:43 > 1:29:45..some day...
1:29:49 > 1:29:51..tonight...!
1:29:57 > 1:30:02Caroline locked the door! It wasn't your mother! It was Caroline!
1:30:02 > 1:30:04She told me!
1:30:15 > 1:30:16Mark!
1:30:27 > 1:30:32- It's locked!- That's what I heard! The key turned!- Stand aside!
1:30:32 > 1:30:36CRASHING AND BANGING
1:30:55 > 1:30:56Celia!
1:31:23 > 1:31:24Mark!
1:31:24 > 1:31:26Celia!
1:31:28 > 1:31:30Celia!
1:31:35 > 1:31:36Celia!
1:31:42 > 1:31:45THUNDER CRASHES
1:32:56 > 1:33:00Mark! I didn't know YOU were in there.
1:33:12 > 1:33:17That night, you killed the root of the evil in me,
1:33:17 > 1:33:20but I still have a long way to go.
1:33:20 > 1:33:22WE have a long way to go.
