SILENCE:

Body of Christ, save me.

Blood of Christ...

Reel 3, scene 51, take 2.

Flashback to the priest drowning a witch

in a barrel of boiling water.

This tells us how to lift the curse.

We have to conduct a human sacrifice.

The whole Academy is cursed.

It's no surprise that

all these tortured witches...

It's great, yes, it's perfect. However...

Guys, that's fine for now.

We'll make this gong vibrate more.

Francesco, have you seen Fabio?

- He's hanging out on the terrace.

- I've got a little present for him.

You didn't see the recording light?

What light?

Never mind. We need to get this scene done.

No problem. I just came by

to see how it's all going.

You can't keep bringing the dog in here,

it's not professional.

Come on, don't be like that.

We need him for the frequencies.

Everyone knows dogs

can hear high frequencies.

So you brought the dog here

for professional reasons?

You didn't know?

Who's the professional now?

Make sure he doesn't poo in the studio.

Who? Gilderoy or Alfonso?

Signor Santini, Signor Santini.

Telephone call for you.

And it evoked in us a powerful salvation

in the house of David, his slave,

like he promised us

through the words of saints...

The white-robed army of martyrs

with the voices of the prophets

are united in your glory...

Tonight I'll exact my revenge

and show Santini

the real meaning of a curse.

Tonight, I'll destroy what is most precious

to him and bring the bastard to his knees.

I promise you.

YOU PRESSED ALL THE WRONG BUTTONS,

NOW TRY THE RIGHT ONES. SILVIA

Whore!

Good morning, gentlemen.

I trust the day finds you in good spirits.

Santini, I must congratulate you

for the unique motivational methods

you employ with your actresses.

I know how important it is for a director

to show how priests

searched witches' bodies

for marks of the Devil.

So I find it strange that you only

bother searching round the breasts.

I do not have Devil's marks on either breast.

But you will find his marks on all my tapes.

Yes, that's right. Teresa has been erased.

All that work lost.

Turn it off!

Giovanni, check the reels.

What the hell did you do to her?

I was just tickling. What's the big deal

with a bit of tickling? Come on!

Boys, we've got cocktails out on the terrace.

Not now.

What happened?

Did you get the dog to rewind a tape?

- Get out!

- What did I do?

- Get out! Go!

- I get it! I get it!

There's no need to behave like that!

He brought Silvia here.

What a disaster.

Don't worry, we'll start again

with someone else...

How? When? There's no time!

Fabio will find someone else.

He's going on holiday.

Let me talk to him.
