Ministry Of Fear Page #4

---

Mr. Neale,

are you one of our group?

By adoption, yes.

[ Man ]

Mrs. Bellane?

- Oh, I-- I beg your pardon.

- We'll start at once, Doctor.

I have a group waiting for a sance.

Won't you join us?

We can talk afterwards.

Yes, we'd like to.

Splendid.

I want to tell you about our fte

at Lembridge. We took in over 100.

Oh, uh, were you there?

Yes.

I told fortunes.

I'm so sorry to keep you waiting.

You especially, Mr. Newby.

I know you have to catch the early train.

Not at all.

Can you make room for Mr. Hilfe

over there, Doctor?

- Certainly.

- This is Dr. Forrester.

Mr. Hilfe.

And you, Mr. Neale, over there.

- Mr. Newby.

- How do you do?

Miss Penteel.

She has extraordinary powers

of painting the inner world.

Colored rhythmic arrangements.

Will you please form the circle?

Now, if you will all join hands...

before the lights fade.

We mustn't break the circle.

- The lights will--

- [ Footsteps ]

Oh, Mr. Cost.

I didn't think you were coming.

Always those customers

at the last moment. May I?

May I present our newcomers?

Mr. Neale, Mr. Cost.

- How do you do?

- It seems we've met before.

I'm sorry.

I don't believe I recall it.

This is Mr. Hilfe, secretary

of the Mothers of the Free Nations.

- How do you do?

- How do you do?

The lights will fade now.

[ Ethereal Whispering, Indistinct ]

[ Mrs. Bellane ]

Yes?

Yes?

I can't hear you.

[ Whispering Continues ]

One of you won't...

let her come through.

Someone whose motives are evil.

[ Whispering Continues ]

[ Mrs. Bellane ]

You can speak.

There is no enemy here.

[ Female Voice, Whispering ]

I had to find you.

I watched it too, Stephen.

Stephen, you sat there...

watching the clock.

I know.

You waited for me to die.

Was the poison strong enough?

The clock stood still.

You killed me. The poison!

The clock stood still.

You murdered!

Who speaks?

Who said that?

- Don't break the circle!

- Who told you that?

- [ Gun Fires ]

- [ People Screaming ]

- Turn on the light!

- Turn on the light! The light!

Cost! Look at Cost!

What happened, Doctor?

Look after her, will you?

A doctor's no good, I'm afraid.

There's only one thing to do:

call the police.

He did it! He broke the circle!

All our hands were locked!

I didn't kill him.

- You have that revolver.

- But I didn't fire it.

There was only one bullet left.

It's still there.

You hold him here, Mr. Hilfe.

I'll ring up the police.

I'll not be drawn into this. You will

excuse me. I have to catch my train.

[ Dr. Forrester ] I'd advise you to stay,

Newby. The police will want all of us.

Well, I'll not wait in here, with him.

Then go into the library.

[ Woman ]

Wait for me, Mr. Newby.
