00:10:22at 2 30 this afternoon with item number 75 item number 74 having been withdrawn
00:10:31matthew those figures aren't worth anything real what you paid
00:10:35well even i was overbidding what did you want them for i thought they'd go well with my collection
00:10:41at the right price why did you want them so badly i don't know i really don't know
00:11:04so
00:11:42Good evening. Is Mr. Maitland at home?
00:11:45I'll see if he's at home, Mr. Markle.
00:11:47It's all right, Denise. I'll see Mr. Markle.
00:11:52Good evening, Mrs. Maitland. May I see your husband?
00:11:55I'm sure he will see me.
00:11:57I'm afraid he's busy.
00:12:01He's never too busy to see me,
00:12:04if you will kindly tell him I'm here.
00:12:11Chris.
00:12:17Markle's here again.
00:12:19I told him you were busy.
00:12:21Has he brought anything with him?
00:12:23He was carrying a bag.
00:12:25I can't bear that man.
00:12:27Why do you have to do business with him?
00:12:29Darling, you know I need research materials,
00:12:31and he's the one who can get them for me.
00:12:32I'm afraid.
00:12:38I'm afraid for you.
00:12:39You needn't be afraid of Markle.
00:12:41And it's because people all through the ages
00:12:43have been influenced and terrorised by these things
00:12:45that I carry up research to try and find the reasons why.
00:12:48It's all part of the unknown.
00:12:50And the unknown's always intriguing.
00:12:52And sometimes dangerous.
00:12:53My husband will see you, Mr. Markle.
00:13:18Good evening, Mr. Maitland.
00:13:20Good evening.
00:13:22Don't keep your moment.
00:13:24I'm sorry to come unannounced and so late.
00:13:29I hope I'm not intruding.
00:13:31What have you got for me?
00:13:34Something choice.
00:13:36Very choice.
00:13:38Why don't you show me?
00:13:44The life of the notorious Marquis de Sade.
00:13:48The man whose name has become the symbol of cruelty and savagery
00:13:53that is in all of us.
00:13:55Sadism.
00:13:58The Marquis de Sade was born in 1740.
00:14:00A distinguished Provençal lady.
00:14:06He was a handsome young man when he joined his cavalry regiment.
00:14:09Pale,
00:14:11and that was a ghost.
00:14:11Pale, delicate.
00:14:12Looked like an angel.
00:14:16And with the soul of a devil.
00:14:19He began to write books filled with the pleasure of inflicting pain.
00:14:24It was rumored that he practiced sorcery, making sacrifices of blood to his master, the devil.
00:14:34However, these were only rumors.
00:14:39It was the facts, his offenses against society, which sent the Marquis to prison over and over again.
00:14:47He ended his days confined as a lunatic with an eternal hatred of all mankind.
00:14:59The most interesting man. The most interesting book.
00:15:06How much do you want for it?
00:15:09Two hundred pounds.
00:15:13Look at the binding.
00:15:17What's it made of?
00:15:19Skin. Human skin.
00:15:22So you see, it is very special.
00:15:26Where did you get this book?
00:15:29I didn't think you were so particular.
00:15:32Look at these other things.
00:15:35The crook sansata fashioned from a thigh bone.
00:15:38That shrivelled hand of glory stolen from a grave in Mainz.
00:15:47This knife.
00:15:49Giles de Retzis.
00:15:51The notorious wife murderer.
00:15:54Hmm. Bluebeard.
00:15:57You didn't inquire into their pedigree.
00:16:00I needed them for my work.
00:16:02Yes, I know.
00:16:04Demonology.
00:16:05Black magic.
00:16:06Witchcraft.
00:16:07I've read your books.
00:16:11Well.
00:16:13Two hundred pounds.
00:16:15Not a penny less.
00:16:17Think of it.
00:16:18A deeper look into your world of fantasy and imagination.
00:16:23And how useful for your research.
00:16:26Ah, ah.
00:16:27Cash, please.
00:16:28Of course.
00:16:53One hundred.
00:16:54Two hundred pounds.
00:16:57Oh, by the way.
00:17:02I may have another item for you.
00:17:06Perhaps tomorrow night.
00:17:09But it will require somewhat more than this if you want it.
00:17:13You're always welcome here.
00:17:15Whenever you have something interesting.
00:17:18I think you'll find that what I have for you is most interesting.
00:17:22Good night, Mr. Maitland.
00:17:24Good night.
00:17:25Good night.
00:17:26Good night.
00:17:28Good night.
00:17:30Yes, sir.
00:17:31Good night.
00:17:32Good night.
00:17:33He was on escalator.
00:19:08I'll tell Mr. Maitland you're...
00:19:10Mr. Maitland is expecting me.
00:19:12Did you enjoy the book?
00:19:41Very much.
00:19:45I hope what you've brought me tonight is just as interesting.
00:19:47It's a beauty, isn't it?
00:19:57It's so small and delicate.
00:20:03It would be a worthy addition to anybody's collection.
00:20:06And all I'm asking for it is a thousand pounds.
00:20:09A thousand pounds?
00:20:11For a human skull?
00:20:18Oh, Mr. Maitland, what do you take me for?
00:20:21Do you think I'd bring you just an ordinary human skull?
00:20:27Do you imagine I'd ask you for a thousand pounds for a skull of a nobody?
00:20:31A thousand pounds, Mr. Maitland, and cheap at the price.
00:20:39You'll pay it gladly when you know the story.
00:20:42Marco, I wouldn't pay that price for Napoleon's skull.
00:20:44And I think you'll find the owner of this skull a great deal more interesting.
00:20:51You see before you the skull of Donatien, Alphonse Francois, Marquis de Sade.
00:21:05What proof?
00:21:12Do you happen to have a copy of Havelock Ellis' studies?
00:21:16Yes, they're over there by the mask.
00:21:20In the section name Love and Pain,
00:21:25there is something you might find rather interesting.
00:21:29A short time after the Marquis de Sade was buried at Charenton in 1814,
00:21:36his skull was stolen from his grave.
00:21:39The man who stole it was a phrenologist.
00:21:43Such was his interest professionally in de Sade.
00:21:48He wanted to see if an examination of the skull would show
00:21:51whether the Marquis was truly insane.
00:21:57Pierre?
00:21:59A few days later,
00:22:29the executor of the phrenologist's estate,
00:22:33a friend of his,
00:22:34a certain Dr. Laund.
00:22:41Ah, too many things.
00:22:45Weeks, weeks of work.
00:22:48What's this?
00:22:50Who are you?
00:22:56I am the executor of Monsieur's estate.
00:23:00Oh, well, continue.
00:23:01I shan't disturb you.
00:23:02Yes, but excuse me.
00:23:04Uh, who are you?
00:23:09But I asked you who you were.
00:23:12Who do you think I am?
00:23:13His mother?
00:23:14Hmm?
00:23:14Hmm?
00:23:15We were colleagues.
00:23:17He was really devoted to his work.
00:23:22Perhaps that was the trouble.
00:23:24Too devoted.
00:23:25No, what do you mean?
00:23:27Is there perhaps something that you should tell me?
00:23:32He brought something back with him the night he was killed.
00:23:35He didn't show it to me.
00:23:37He took it in there.
00:23:38Uh, what could it have been?
00:23:40I don't know.
00:23:44But whatever it was, it changed him.
00:23:47Changed him?
00:23:48In what way?
00:23:50The way he spoke to me.
00:23:52He never had before.
00:23:53He was always gentle, kind.
00:23:56And you think that this thing changed him?
00:23:59Yes, it made him evil.
00:24:01Hmm.
00:24:02I wonder what it could have been.
00:24:04I don't know.
00:24:06Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll get my things.
00:24:08I don't know what it was.
00:24:16Hmm.
00:24:17Let's get right out of this body shit.
00:24:21Huh.
00:24:23What's that?
00:24:24It's supposed to get in there, huh?
00:24:28Let's put that there.
00:24:30Let's get it.
00:24:31Let's get it.
00:24:32Hmm.
00:24:34Nice.
00:24:36Ah.
00:24:37Wonderful.
00:24:46Wonderful.
00:24:46Wonderful.
00:24:58That's it.
00:25:03One hand.
00:25:05That's right.
00:30:45Oh, good luck.
00:31:07I do seem to be having an off night.
00:31:09I've never played so badly in my life.
00:31:10You certainly don't seem to be able to concentrate, do you?
00:31:13Anything the matter?
00:31:15I was offered an item last night by a mutual acquaintance, Marco.
00:31:20Oh, yes.
00:31:21Somewhat shady individual, but useful.
00:31:25He offered me a death's head, which he set as the skull of the Marquis de Sade.
00:31:29He wanted a thousand, but finally came out of five hundred.
00:31:32And naturally, I'd like to have it in my collection, if it's genuine.
00:31:36It's genuine enough.
00:31:38How could you possibly know that?
00:31:42Because, my dear fellow, it was stolen from me.
00:31:45Oh, what?
00:31:48Brandy?
00:31:49No, thanks.
00:31:51Marco's expecting me later this evening.
00:31:53Why don't you come with me?
00:31:56You could identify your property and get it back.
00:31:59I shall do nothing of the sort.
00:32:00I'm glad that the skull has been stolen.
00:32:04And I advise you to leave it alone.
00:32:07Why?
00:32:10Because it's dangerous.
00:32:12You've never taken any notice of superstition before.
00:32:15Exactly.
00:32:16And that is why, when I tell you that I sincerely believe the skull to be dangerous, I'd better take my word for it.
00:32:24But how can a mere skull be dangerous?
00:32:31Unless your mind makes it so.
00:32:33Desaad said he wasn't mad.
00:32:40And I believe it.
00:32:43He was far worse than mad.
00:32:45He was possessed.
00:32:50Possessed by an evil spirit.
00:32:53A spirit which still inhabits the skull.
00:32:55I kept the skull locked in a glass case in the library.
00:33:01I had the only key.
00:33:03Once a month, during the two nights of the new moon,
00:33:09a time of devil worship and black magic,
00:33:12I found in the morning that the skull had been removed.
00:33:17Well, who removed it?
00:33:21Those who use its power.
00:33:25Invisible beings.
00:33:27Spirits from a strange, evil world.
00:33:33Sometimes I used to hear them calling me.
00:33:37To join them in their ceremonies.
00:33:41It took all my powers of will to resist.
00:33:44I wouldn't resist,
00:33:46given the opportunity.
00:33:49I'd wait for them.
00:33:51Make a good chapter for one of my books.
00:33:53Don't think that I wasn't tempted.
00:33:56But I knew that the moment I set foot in the room,
00:33:58I'd be unable to resist the forces of evil.
00:34:01I would do whatever the skull wanted me to do.
00:34:08You remember the auction?
00:34:10You remember these?
00:34:12Lucifer?
00:34:13Beelzebub?
00:34:14Leviathan?
00:34:16And Balverith, who incites to murder.
00:34:20I bought them.
00:34:21I told you at the time that I didn't know why.
00:34:25But I know now.
00:34:28Then why did you?
00:34:28Because the skull wanted me to.
00:34:32It needed this one for its worshippers.
00:34:36They were all kept in the library till after the skull had been stolen,
00:34:39but I never went into the library on the nights of the new moon.
00:34:44Never.
00:34:44You're a coward.
00:34:46You're a coward.
00:34:50Perhaps sometimes it's better to be.
00:34:57All I can say to you is
00:34:58keep away from the skull of the Marquis de Saut.
00:35:02But yeah, my God.
00:35:04That was my one for the night.
00:35:05Well, I was..
00:35:07didn't say o' catch.
00:35:08That's OK.
00:35:09Well, I couldn't let you have like it.
00:35:09There is good luck there.
00:35:10For sure you could go from this house.
00:35:12There is.
00:35:12Well, there maybe nothing.
00:35:15Well, what about this house?
00:35:16You might not come back.
00:35:17Or I can't get in the clothes.
00:35:18But here.
00:35:19The welcome to Alverith,
00:35:19But you know what I was leaving.
00:35:20The breakfast of the past.
00:35:22Which I've all Esta thought is,
00:35:23Is this what you're looking for?
00:35:51Where'd you get that?
00:35:53Have you been messing about in my room?
00:35:57Now what would I be doing in this junk heap?
00:35:59Where did you get that?
00:36:01I found it.
00:36:01Where?
00:36:02In the ore.
00:36:03Where?
00:36:03In the broom cup.
00:36:04I am the caretaker here.
00:36:12You're the strangest tenant we've ever had here.
00:36:15Is this junk worth any money?
00:36:18Oh, it's of no value.
00:36:20Anyone must be barmy who collects things like this.
00:36:23Oh, my God.
00:36:27Oh, my God.
00:36:29Oh, my God.
00:36:35Oh, my God.
00:38:09Come in.
00:38:22What are you?
00:38:42What do you want?
00:38:47Are you Christopher Maitland?
00:38:48Yes.
00:38:49We have a warrant for your arrest.
00:38:52My arrest.
00:38:52I must caution you that anything you say will be taken down in writing and may be given
00:38:56in evidence.
00:38:58What's the charge?
00:39:00You'll find out.
00:39:04Come along.
00:39:05My wife is out.
00:39:06I must leave a note for her.
00:39:07You can phone from the station.
00:39:08I must have known about...
00:39:18And the murder.
00:39:18What are you doing?
00:39:18Iью-la-la-la.
00:39:23How are you doing?
00:39:25What?
00:39:29I don't know.
00:39:59I don't know.
00:40:29I don't know.
00:40:39Come along.
00:40:40But this isn't a police station.
00:40:51I don't know.
00:41:21I won't.
00:41:23Why am I here?
00:41:25I don't know.
00:41:31I don't know.

00:53:44You say this door was open when you came in?
00:53:46Yes.
00:53:50Why did you come here?
00:53:52Marco had a volume I wanted urgently.
00:53:55Some reference material for a book I'm writing.
00:53:57I telephoned him and said I'd pick it up tonight.
00:54:00When I found the door was open, I thought perhaps he'd just gone out for a moment, so I came into waitway.
00:54:04I found him like that and called you immediately.
00:54:09I don't understand it.
00:54:11What don't you understand, Doctor?
00:54:14The caretaker, sir.
00:54:16Thank you, Constable. Come in, Mr...
00:54:18Travers.
00:54:20Bert.
00:54:21Travers.
00:54:22Well, Bert, have you known the tenant long?
00:54:26A couple of years.
00:54:32I had nothing much to do with him.
00:54:34He did his own real.
00:54:36Didn't let anyone near it.
00:54:38Mr. Travers, do you have a pet of any kind?
00:54:41No.
00:54:41There's anyone else in the house.
00:54:43A large dog, perhaps.
00:54:45We don't allow them.
00:54:47Thank you, Mr. Travers.
00:54:51Doctor, what have animals to do with this?
00:54:55The man's jugular vein was bitten.
00:54:58Clean through.
00:54:59Do you know what last night was?
00:55:23How do you mean?
00:55:24The date.
00:55:26Oh, it was...
00:55:27It was the 23rd.
00:55:29Well?
00:55:31The first night of the new moon.
00:55:35The first night of the new moon.
00:55:41It's the first night of the rituals.
00:55:43Exactly.
00:55:45And tonight is the second.
00:55:49If you have the skull,
00:55:52get rid of it.
00:56:01Would you take this?
00:56:02It's to protect you.
00:56:10As it protected me
00:56:12against the skull
00:56:13and its evil worshippers.
00:56:16Thanks.
00:56:18You really are superstitious, aren't you?
00:56:20What are you doing here?
00:56:49What's that you got?
00:56:54You stealing something?
00:56:57No.
00:56:58This belongs to me.
00:56:59Funny.
00:57:00I've seen that before.
00:57:03In Israel.
00:57:03I paid Mr. Marco for it.
00:57:05Now, how do I know
00:57:06you're telling the truth?
00:57:08Hmm?
00:57:10Must be worth something, then.
00:57:12Excuse me.
00:57:12Now.
00:57:14What about
00:57:15a little phone call
00:57:16to the police?
00:57:18Will you get out of my way?
00:57:20Yes, fool.
00:57:20Get out of my way.
00:57:21Get out of my way.
00:57:21Get out of your way.
00:57:22Get out of my way.
