Beauty and the Devil Page #3

They're the Professor's glasses.

Just between ourselves,

he was a little odd.

He claimed it was possible

to make gold.

- Gold?

- Yes, sir, gold.

That's the motive for the theft.

Or the murder.

The young man seen at his home

was attracted by the gold.

Be quiet!

They're jealous of me.

They just wonder who you are.

That's for you to tell them.

Who are you?

You haven't even told me.

I don't know myself.

Before we met,

what did you do?

I've forgotten who I was

before I met you.

You'll forget me too.

You saw it in my hand?

Henri, there's a wound in your hand.

There's blood.

It's a dried blade of grass.

You'd let that scare you?

I feel I'm going to lose you.

I'm as free as air. Who could

take me from you?

Henri, where are you?

Come and show us

what you can do.

Just watch me.

That's him!

Ladies and gentlemen,

are you happy? I am!

I'll tell you my secret.

Long before you were born...

...in a country

you'll never see...

...a philosopher you don't know

called Plato...

...shut men in a cave to explain

the earth's secrets to them.

Later...

...another man you don't know

in a country you'll never see...

...the astronomer, Newton...

...flew off among the stars...

...in order to tell men

the secrets of the heavens.

But the philosopher and

astronomer were wrong!

So says a third scientist...

I, Henri!

You need only know one secret -

the secret of youth.

It's the secret of happiness.

The secret of joy!

The secret of pleasure!

Come in and see for yourselves.

Roll up.

Was that you laughing?

It's him!

It's him all right.

You were seen stealing money

from Faust's house.

Since then, Professor Faust

has not been seen.

- Where's the body?

- What body?

Professor Faust's!

You killed the old man

after a savage attack.

Here is the evidence!

And the body.

You burned the body

right here...

...in that stove!

Mephistopheles, he who

laughs last laughs longest!

Gentlemen, I have finished.

Everything proves that man's guilt.

He keeps promising a disclosure

that will prove his innocence.

But we're still waiting.

We have suffered a terrible loss.

Faust was an eminent scientist.

The luminary of our age.

Justice demands...

...the only appropriate sentence.

Death!

Has the accused anything to say?

Yes, Your Honour!

I wish to say something

I hesitated to reveal...

...until the last moment.

But I can wait no longer.

As the prosecution said,

no one knows who I am.

No one knows my name.

Don't you find that strange?

The time has come for me

to reveal the infernal...

Yes, the infernal plot

that has brought me here.

We'll see who

has the last laugh.

You want to know what happened

to Professor Faust?
