:18:00
Which device?
:18:01
It's in the adjoining chamber
down there.
:18:04
Please, Mr. Barnard, do not
go there...
:18:07
I do not wish to discuss it.
:18:09
The story, sir.
:18:12
In detail.
:18:16
This was my father's world,
Mr. Barnard.
:18:19
Spare yourself at least
this, Nicholas.
:18:21
How can I spare myself?
:18:23
Was he not my father?
:18:25
Am I not the spawn of his...
:18:28
...his depraved blood?
:18:30
His depravity is not
yours, Nicholas.
:18:33
Why scourge yourself
because of it?
:18:35
You have not answered me, don Medina.
:18:38
I shall not dwell upon the
history of this...
:18:42
...this blasphemous chamber.
:18:45
Suffice it that the blood of a
thousand men and women...
:18:48
...was spilt within these walls.
:18:51
Limbs twisted and broken!
:18:53
Eyes gouged from
bloody sockets...
:18:55
...flesh burned black.
:18:57
Why are you telling me these things?
:18:59
What do they have to do with
my sister?
:19:01
She had never been brought here.
:19:03
She was too sensitive,
too aware.
:19:07
Aware of what?
:19:09
The malignant atmosphere
of this castle.
:19:12
It destroyed her.
:19:14
My sister was a strong and
willful woman...
:19:17
...not subject to the influence
of atmospheres.
:19:22
You have been here only
a matter of hours, Mr. Barnard.
:19:25
You cannot know what it is
to live here...
:19:29
...month upon month,
year after year...
:19:32
...breathing this infernal air...
:19:36
...absorbing the miasma
of barbarity...
:19:38
...which permeates
these walls...
:19:40
...particularly this chamber.
:19:43
But it did not bother her
at first either.
:19:48
Our life was good...
:19:50
...rich with the shared
pleasures of our love.
:19:59
Each morning I would bring
her breakfast.
