This woman, that youve been talking to in internet - When was the last time that you saw her? Has anything happened to her? - She disappeared. - She propably runaway from her husband. That is my wife. So why dont you cut out your smart-ass replies and just answer the question. You are questing this house, detective. I could ask you to leave. And I could ask you to join me downtown. stay up till 2am, drinking really shitty coffee. You could watch me type of my report, or you could just answer the question - have you seen the woman in the picture? -Yes - When? - Mayby four days ago. She came in - stayed awhile. And left. And what was she here for? You are the detective, impress me. What was she here for? She wanted to have sex with another woman. No worry, detective. its not an entitment on your abilities. Im sure you are very capable man. Did you have sex with my wife? If she wanted you to know, Im sure she would have told you Dont fuck with me. Did you have sex with my wife? I doubt very much that information is going to help you find her. You know what? Fuck it. Im gonna be seeing you real soon. Detective! I hope you find your wife. Id love to see her again. - To wife off a cop. - I didnt know. - You know, what this means? - You boofed with her. - I warned you to be careful. - Why do you care? They are just human. They cant do nothing to you. Ill never be haunted down again. The estate is owned by private british trust for 200 years. Well, you dont see much of that anymore. Residence has been rebuild 1947. And it was sold five years ago. - To who? - I dont have those records. - Actually, noone is listed as living in that address. - Is that all you got? - I could get you the name of notar, who managed the affairs of trust. - Brenda, you are so good to me. - My pleasure. The trust was constituted for the single purpose in mind. To manage the properties that used to belong to Batory family. Batory family? Ancient Polish royalty. This particular estate was sold for one dollar, I handled the transaction myself. Sounds like a helluva deal. Used to be a simple way avoiding heritage taxes. So who heritaged the place? Im affraid my duties bind me the confidentiality. Your duties? Im pretty sure, mister Renaud - that I can have a search warrant and forteen cops inside an hour. And I can promise you - that I will dig up every scrap of paper you ever bothered to write a phone number. We both know, that would be highly illegal. Yeah, it propably would be. Cmon, your an intelligent man, succesfull business - beautifull office. Youve got lot of high profile clients. I dont think theyd appreciate that kind of circus, that Im gonna bring to you. Who owns the place? Dont worry. Im not gonna tell anyone. Elizabeth Kane. Elizabeth Kane. - What do you know about her? - Nothing. I received precise instructions, she showed out of the blue. - She doesnt ever bother, who live there. - She does now. Elizabeth is back? - Yes? - Im here to see Elizabeth Kane. - Shes not here. - Where is she? Hello? Who was that? Um, noone, some kids. You can go back to sleep now. Irina - It was that cop. He knows your name. - Evening - Come on in. - Cognac? - Yeah. Had the car dusted for prints. Only two sets - yours and hers. - What about her picture? Showed it to all security guard, janitor and all the office buildings in the area. Noone remember seing her. - Chips, anyone? - Thought you were only getting ice. Thought Id throw in some steaks and stuff. Hey, my dad got that for us from Indonesia. Hey Nancy. Im glad you came. Any news on Jessice? - Nothing. - Shell show up, Im sure of it. - Are you out of your mind? - Main event just started - 12 rounds to go. He aint going anywhere. Cmon, not in this house. Its not cool, Nancy. I love my husband. Thats right. And we both know, how much you love your wife. Thats right. I love my wife. We just do things for each other, which they dont do. Thats right. Dont stop. What are you doing? That is what makes us so good - all this love - Thats good. Do it faster. Fuck, he is gonna love that. This wont take long. Nice wheels Wanna go for a ride? I cancelled my last appointment. Ill be there in 20 minutes. Yeah. It will not be the same thing we will have something special this night. Bye. I was thinking - Who else knows my name in this town? - Couldnt come up with anyone else. - He threatened to have my office searched. That is one scary threat. Your lovely daughter. Is she still a virgin? I cant have police here. Your bank accounts - You are in deep convenient - That is why you are still alive. But there are many things that I value more than money. Your daughter is not one of them. Do I know you? This is something - Did Ray put you up to this? In a bizarre sort of way. This is fresh. You can come out now Ray. She is cute. Come here. I can see how he would take a liking to you . Your head is filled with many strange things - screaming, to get out. Where is he? Is he watching? Would you like that? I dont know. Ray is gonna own me, bigtime. You are special one. I will remember you. Am I invited for the dinner? You are fucking trespassing again! -- Call the cops. -- She is not here! -- He is here. -- I should kill you. -- I am going to have to take some measures. -- I apologize. I am sure you can understand my situation. Perfectly. Your wife had an affair, discovered the whole new world of possibilities - and left you. I dont think its that difficult to grasp. You were the last person that has seen her. And I will treasure that memory forever. -- Some wine? -- What the hell. Who is the woman on the portrait? That's why you are here? To talk about art? Im taking polite fucking interest, okay? Humor me. If you thought wed be standing here, waiting for you without anything better to do - Im sorry to shatter your vision. What do you need to know? I want to know if my wife said that she would see you again. She said that she was looking forward to it. Any specific date? I didnt say that i wanted to see her again. Okay, miss Elizabeth Kane. Ive serious reason to believe that my wife did not runaway. As far as Im concern, you were last person seen with her. Which is enough for me to go get your fucking warrant for this fucking mansion. You can give a damn if your wife is dead or alive. What is dragging you off the wall is the fact that she couldnt stand you and she left you - And she might be having a time of his life with somebody else. Let it go, detective. I am sure that you will find ways to enjoy - your newly found freedom. Have a good night, little buddy. I have done something terrible to you. Im sorry. I have decided to bring back your wife. -- Dad, I am going to be late. -- Allright. - You left the patio-door open again - No I didnt. Hello Lisa. Cars looking good. -- What happened last night? -- Who is your friend? -- Connie. -- Hello, Connie. -- Is this your detective friend? -- I hope you havent being saying bad things about me. Nice wheels. Is this replica or the real thing? Cmon. So, where were you last night at 3:00 AM? I was sucking pillow. No, you were driving your car. -- No, I was in bed like from 11 a.m.. -- No, I saw you drive by. -- That must have been someone else. -- How many times have I fixed your car? -- I think that I would know when I saw it. -- Why would I lie to you? You think that I could get a ride sometime? Yes? No, I wasnt feeling very well. Yes, what the fuck is the urgency? Hello? Hello? -- Has your wife come back yet? -- Not yet. Have you talk with Erszebet yet? -- Dont you have stuff to do? -- Yes. - Go do it! - Okay! Tiny. -- Remember Angy Manning from homicide? -- No, not really. How did your mess with infernal affairs go? Well, well. I bought 59 Corvette to celebrate, thank you for asking. Have a seat, Ray. -- We need your help with something. -- What is going on, captain? Your partners wifes body was found early this morning. Multiple stapwounds. Nancy Cusack is dead? Her body was dumped near highway 15. Someone reported seen someone to take a large plasticbag - out of the trunk of the car - and going to the woods -- We have the description of the man. And the licenseplate number. Did you make an arrest? Goods needs a permission to search your new Corvette. -- What? -- It would save me a lot of paperwork. What the fuck is it this? Ray, where were you last night about 2:00 AM? Not dumping my partners wife in the fucking woods, if that is what you are asking! -- Who made that call? -- A concerned woman. Aint that just dandy. Look, you know as well as I do, only two people could have made that phonecall. The one who saw it or the one who did it. You could help me to eliminate one of those two real fast - just tell me where were you last night. I was fucking sleeping, it was 2:00 AM, asshole. Well, was there anybody ...that could confirm that? At least for part of the evening. Yes, two mistresses. Yeah, tuesday is a treesome-night, we like to go-out whole fucking night. I was sleeping alone. Captain, this is ridiculous. Weve known each other for how long? Ok, that is enough for now. Angie, you mind giving us a minute? Of course, captain. 15 years. Yes... Ive known you for 15 years. And Ive known the Cusacks wife close to five. You have to find whoever made that call. There is a nice little hotel in old Montreal - ideal for little escapes. I recommended it to you, you remember? What you do on your own time and who you do it with, is non of my business. Even when I saw you come out the room with Nancy Cusack - I kept my mouth shut. But I ... I hope you broke it up. You know.. your wife disappearing, dead-found mistress - -- I have seen worse shit. -- Captain, I did not kill her. I know, Im with you Ray, but Angy wants a DNA sample. Fuck Angy and his DNA! Fuck it! Please, do it for me. Nancy scratched to her aggressor. The forensic found skin samples her fingernails. So? Im so sorry, Dean. -- Fuck. What are you doing? -- I should shoot you right now. Put the fucking gun away! For fucks sake you gonna get yourself in shit! Dean, I didnt kill her. I swear to God, I didnt kill her. Did you have fun fucking my wife? I didnt kill her. You think that I could do that to her? Piece of shit. I trusted you! Are you going to do it? you are going to do it!? Im going to blow your fucking brains out. Do it, do it! -- Ray, Ray! Nathan... -- Daddy! How could you? I need to talk to you! I want you to go back to chat rooms, I want you to ensure well have young blood. Young, beautifull, innocent blood. When will I get to bite? -- When you are ready. -- Youve been saying that for two years! Im ready now! Ill decide when you are. Two years is nothing compared to eternity ahead of you. -- But why dont you let me kill girls? -- Its not about killing. It is about seducing your prey. She must watch you - desire you - You cannot take unwilling soul. And the blood must be pure. Fine. Tell me about your first time. I dont know what you think youre doing. -- Im helping Ray to find his wife. -- Why? Now he is totally available, I think you should invite him over - get him drunk and see what happens. Cmon, you are so into the guy. If you are worried, I could give you some pointers. Thanks. -- She wrote back -- Answer her. My friend told me that you would be a fun person to meet. What do you do? Okay. Like shes going to call. Hello. -- Firebird? - Erszebet? -- You wanted to talk? -- Yes, how is it going? -- How old are you? -- 21. So .. what did you your friend tell about me? She said that we would get along. What is your friends name? - Why, does it matter? -- Can I call you back? -- Yeah, but hang on lit... -- I call you back. She is not going to call. Shell call. -- You want some water? -- No, Im okay. -- Hello. -- Hey honey. -- Hey mom. - How is the house? -- House? Fine, me too. -- Great. Look, we wont be back tomorrow, your dad wants to stay one more day. -- Ok, thats fine. - You still have food? -- Food? -- Yes, food. -- No. Ill probably be dead when you get back. -- Joker. Good, Im on public phone only wanted to tell you. -- Okay. -- Good night. Good night mom. -- Yes? -- I said that Id call you back. -- Erszebet? -- May I come in? -- How did you get my address? -- I thought we might have a drink. No. My parents are uppstaris. I didnt ask you here. You have to go. -- After the drink. -- No. Connie? Look what you made me to do. It could have been so much nicer. Liz? You know what album thing is that goes in this one? Fuck, Liz, what did you spill? Evening, Raymond. Vanessa, come and sit down here baby I havent seen you awhile. You have been staying out of trouble? I always get myself out of trouble, you know that. -- You look a little bit down. -- No, life is good. A one big bed of colorful roses. You would like to go back and share some of that happiness? -- Ive got one room for spare. -- Oh, yes, that sounds good. Told you that youd find ways to enjoy yourself. -- What are your doing here? -- We seem to share same taste. Clubs, women. -- You following me? -- I came to see a good friend. And here you are. Isnt it something? Im coming after you. When you catch your bone, you just dont let it go, detective?. I admire that in a man. If you feel the need to talk, Ill be backstage. Try not to topple anything on your way. Step inside, detective. My friend has been under a lot of pressure. I need some time alone with him. I have seen you here before. I know that youve seen me. Any issue standing between us. Its a time to clear it up. Well, just write it down and sign it? Your wife came to see me looking for something she was missing. Unfortunately for her, she lied to me. I dont touch married women, detective. -- Neither should you. -- What happened? Nothing happened. Your wife was a charming woman. We spoke, I shared my thoughts. She understood. We had a drink, she left. No hard feelings. Your wife didnt cheat on you. At least, not with me. And why didnt you just... tell me that before. There is something passionate about you when you get upset. I enjoy seeing that. I dont know why. So now what? There is nothing else. Ill be leaving soon. You will never have to see me again. Where are you going? Sometimes its good to return to meaningful places in your life. As a sort of balcrament. A therapy for the soul. You must have places like that. Bongiorno, inspector Thurzo. Interpol. Romas station. May I speak with you? I have an informant on board of cruise ship " The Batore ". This informant has been instructed - to tell me each time a certain passenger boards the ship. This certain passenger is a woman. One month age she disembark here in Montreal. And you went to visit her to her house. -- Is she wanted? -- No, under investigation. -- For what? -- Possible murder. Possible murder? What is that? An Italian crime? We have no victims. Only missing women. Arent you little out of your jurisdiction? I take some time off. You see, Ive personal interest in this case my granddaughter went missing 6 years ago. You have been following this woman for 6 years? On and off. But I came here to warn you. This is unusually dangerous woman. You must only approach her in strictly professional manner. Keep your distance. And let your own people do the work. -- The way you you do it? -- Precisely. I know what Im talking about. -- You, you could end up dead. -- What is that supposed to mean? It means that I have a plane to catch. If there is something that I should know, mayby you should tell me. Pope, Pope. It is a curious name. Arrivederci, detective Pope. Yes, they pulled her out of the water about 15 minutes ago. Shes not even 16 years old. No, I handle it from here. We are going to need a rape-kit. Oh Jesus, Pope. She was your babysitter. She was just a kid. Im going to ask you something. I want you to think real hard about it - because ... Id really love to hear your answer. Now mayby ... mayby we could explain - Nancy Cusacks prints and the blood all over your car. And mayby, allthou it might be difficult - we could explain your skin - under the nails of your partners wife. Now, help me out on here, cos I really would like to help you. Is there any way possible? I mean any way possible - that you could explain, how your semen got out of your dick - and into your babysitters body? besides the obvious. Relax. Ill be right back. What is it, captain? The bites on the girls throat - Forensics says its neither human nor animal. Sounds familiar? Looks like we got a another riddle for you to solve, you sick fuck. Elizabeth! Here, I brought you the results so you could see yourself. -- Is there a match? -- Yeah, you. -- Who else? -- Thats it. Just you. Its fucking impossible! She handed me the glass! Well, shes neither a ghost or she had her fingerprints removed. What is going on here? -- I have to get out of here. -- Pope, listen to me, you have a kid. Whatever you got yourself into, you gotta get yourself out, now. -- I gotta go. -- Pope, what you mean go, go where? Pope? Shut the fuck up! Do not move! Your client was not in the castle. Where is she? -- She is not my client. -- You handled her affairs! I handled one transaction, for God's sake. Ive got sixth sense, when someone is lying to me. You have no idea the evil you are dealing with. You wanna see evil? Im gonna show you evil. Shell take my daughter. Fuck! Looks like we got the same problem, Renaud. I can get rid of it ... allright? I make it all go away. Cmon. Venice. She has a place in Venice. Excuse me. You know where this is? -- Why? -- I have a friend - Excuse me. Excuse me. Fuck! That is enough. Get out of here. -- Excuse me. Do you speak English? -- Why should I? I saw this book of yours in the window. A man with fine taste in woman, there it is -- What is the story of this one? -- Elizabeth Bathory. Countess Drcula. Why do you ask? Usually those interested in this book arent interested in history. I saw this portrait in someones house. -- A copy, ofcourse -- I do not know. I guess so. Why do you call it Countess Drcula? Countess Bathory, was one of the cornerstones - of the modern vampyre mythology. -- I never hearded the novel. -- What novel? Dear sir, she was as real as you and I. And one of the most evil human being that ever lived. Care for a a biscuit, italian specialty. Thank you. She was born in 1560, off true Hungarian nobility - renounced as one of the most beautiful women of her age - And sadist of unparallel savagery. From her early age, the lady took pleasure in torturing and killing her servingmaids. Dismembering them and even freezing them alive. One day, on her usual fits of rage- she slapped one of the maids so hard, that some of the poor girls blood- spilled out and splattered on the countesses hand. At which point, on her eyes, a miracle has occurred. Then there ... on the spot, where the blood had stained - the skin appeared to rejuvenated itself - the wrinkles, they seemed to disappear. Of course, after that, there were no limits for madames lunacy. Over the years, some 650 young women were maimed and brutalized - simply to satisfy her thirst of blood. She would drink it, she would bath in it! In dellusional quest for eternal youth. Thats some fucking story. I often wandered, if woman like that could live today. You know, some people think that she never died. Someone people believe in Loch Ness monster. Do you sell any of these? Yes, I have an invitation. Its here in somewhere. Nice outfit. This is a very exclusive party. This is where all the fun begins. Good. Yeah. Oh, by the way, there is a strict dress code. No exceptions. Youll love this wine. Come. Buena sera. -- Oh sorry, I dont speak Italian. -- Isnt that a relief? -- Enjoying yourself? -- Yes I am. -- What is the occasion? -- You dont know? No, I came with a friend. He didnt tell me much. -- He didnt? -- No. Ive had my share of sneaking into parties myself. You busted me. Where is the owner? The proprietress? Im affraid she died , my dear boy. around 400 years ago. Do you trust me? Sweet girl. Open. Is it too tight? Now... Countess Elizabeth Bathory of Hungary. -- Are you shitting me? -- Do you know her? This house is hers? One of many. The original palace was demolished a long time ago. This was built on whatever ruins were left. What about the present owner? Very few people have actually met our hostess. She never stays around long enough. Elizabeth Kane is current houstess - with very selected circle of friends. Look at all these women. Batory herself wouldve been exstatic. -- I assume that you are alone. -- Yeah, you know, i better go get my friend. Excuse me. You have done well tonight, Irina. All is forgiven. I thank you for your beauty. -- Did you miss me? -- Oh boy, detective- Elizabeth gonna be really uppset. And better not let her see you. Oh, God - What did you do? Get away from her. Get away from her! It could kill each of them before you could limb halfway cross this room. -- Fuck you could! -- I will make this quick. You have no idea how much I loved that dog. Try to stay awake, detective. I wouldt want you to miss what happens next, for anything in the world. What am I going to do with you? If you werent a decent familyman, one might think youre enjoying all this pain. Enjoying the blood. You look well. I am glad. I dont feel so well, after I bounced in that car for 5 hours. You will be fine. What kind of fucked up jail is this? You must not swear in this place. There is a monk. Formaly a great psychiatrist. Who has helped us many times in the past on most extraordinary cases. You might not agree with some of his methods. But I can assure you, he is quite effective. -- A monk? -- Yes. I dont think that this has been reported to proper authorities. I can assure you that it has. What is your story? What are you? Interpol? Vatican intelligence? I want to thank you for coming to Venice as a fugitive of the law. It allowed me to follow you. Also allowed me to get search warrant to go inside the house. to have you arrested. Otherwise, I had no legitimate motives to go inside. So how come Im not arrested? But you did not do anything, we both knew that. And I have good news for you. You think you killed the girl, but you did not. It was a dog. No, no, no. I killed the dog also. But I left the girl dead in the hallway. - No, no, no girl. -- What do you mean, no girl? What about Elizabeth? I threw a knife right thru her back. I wish you had, but you were not in condition to throw anything. You hit her with the handle of the knife, she has a small scar in the back of the neck. Allright, listen, inspector Thurzo, Father Thurzo - whatever the fuck your story is. I want to know what is going on with that woman. There are many things you dont understand about our prisoner. But you asked me to see her and I allow it because she asked to see you. But if you swear one more time in this place - I make you walk all the way back to Venice right now. I want to see the prisoner. Show him. -- What are they doing? -- They pray for her soul - and the souls of the dead. And you have 10 minutes. Inspector Pope! Do me one favor. Do not accept anything she gives you. Nice of you to travel all the way here. Care for a glass of wine? Why dont I place the glass here. And Ill go sit over here. Feel safer? Two girls died in your house. One is in critical condition. We managed to save other four. That... really upsets you. How long has this been going on? For quite some time now. Is my wife dead? You should not have killed my dog. I was very fond of her. But your wife is not dead. She is very much alive inside of me, like all the others. How many have there been? Why dont you step right up and ask me what you truly came here to learn? -- Who are you? -- There. Have some wine. No. Be polite. Carefull. To eternity. I should have warned you. Its not quite your taste. -- Who gave that? -- Settle down detective, nobody that you met. I got it from the hospital. They have to take care of me. To have this condition. Who are you? In three days, they will transfer me to one small clinic on the Swiss border. They will take me by truck on mountain roads. It will be a long ride. Anything can go wrong. They will never expect anyone to intervene. They will dissect me. Your 10 minutes is up! Detective - people have done far stranger things because of love. |
