---

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.

Listen...

I don't want anyone like Silvia.

And find an Italian this time.

Francesco, Chiara's reel has been erased.

Whore!

That last girl is really something.

She could even give the dog a hard-on.

So, what's this Elisa like?

What are you trying to say?

Giancarlo, nothing will ever change.

It Will. It Will.

Ask Fabio what Elisa's like.

Giovanni, next scene!

Reel 4, scene 60, take 1.

The stealthy Signora Collatina

approaches her sacrificial victim.

Massimo and Massimo,

a bit slower this time.

Who's there?

I will call the police.

I will!

It's dawning on us that this is not

the work of a crazed killer

but the violent force of undead witches.

But the violent force of undead witches.

They strike and kill at random.

They will find us wherever we are.

Now we can only pray

and hope that this comes to an end.

Teresa, I'd like to see you

in my office afterwards.

I believe you know something

about this curse.

Chiara, it's out of sync.

Reel 4, scene 66, take 3.

Signora Collatina tells her students

that the witches are back,

and that regrettably,

the massacres will continue.

All this destruction breaks my heart.

Two students, Monica and Valeria,

such tender things

brutally taken from us.

It's dawning on us that this is not

the work of a crazed killer

but the violent force of undead witches.

They strike and kill at random.

They will find us wherever we are.

Now we can only pray and hope

that this comes to an end.

Teresa, I'd like to see you

in my office afien/vards.

I believe you know something

about this curse and how it came about.

Soundtrack!

Signora Collatina's sacrificial attack

is thwarted and the tables

are brutally turned.

Strike a light! What's he doing to her?

Massimo and Massimo,

start the demonstration!

I didn't quite know I'd be working

on this sort of film.

What did you expect?

Santini said something about equestrian?

Yeah, a horse-riding girl, see?

She's just not horse-riding

any more, that's all.

Excuse me?

Will we be recording here?

- Are you Teresa?

- Elisa.

No, I mean Teresa, yes.

Do you mind if I go through my lines?

The chicks didn't make it.

I don't know what happened.

I just walked out to see how they were

and it was just awful.

Torn to bloody pieces.

Not even eaten.

It must've been the magpies.

All this blood by your shed.

One by one, heads ripped off,

all feathers gone.

The parents are literally screaming.

They were just a day or two away

from leaving the nest.

It's horrible here.

I was so much looking forward

to the next few days.

It must have been the magpies.

How was I?

All right.

Here comes the Sabbath,

there goes the cross.

Drunk on serpents' semen

and bloated with bile.

A whore's menstrual syrup

with a black widow's venom.

A chiffchaffs plumage infested with lice.

Our vile, thick elixir runs through your veins.

Here comes the Sabbath,

there goes the cross.

Wait, Monica.

I'm sure this is the place

where they were buried.

How is she doing'?

Terrible.

Mumbling and moaning. Listen.

According to the scripture,

they were all tortured here.

There must be a clue somewhere.

Cut! Cut!

See what happens when you let

Santini's dick direct this film.

Again!

Reel 1, scene 13, take 3.

Teresa and Monica venture into the poultry

tunnel underneath the Academy

unaware of the witches' putrid corpses.

Wait, Monica.

I'm sure this is the place

where they were buried.

I'm sure of it. Why else would

they try to keep us out?

According to the scripture

they were all tortured here.

There must be a clue somewhere.

Cut! Cut!

Even a hamster could do

a better job than that.

How about being a little more convincing?

Francesco, I need to rewind the tape...

Leave it, just let her scream!

Again!

Gilderoy, go out there and give her hell.

I can't.

Make her cry!

Are you going to do it or not?

Easier this way.

Excuse me.

There's a terrible noise

coming from the headphones.

Keep them on, you need your cue.

- More.

- It's already too much.

More! More!

Go to hell! You and your film!

Where's she going?

We were only joking.

- Find another Teresa. Get off me!

- Elisa, we need you!

Father, we praise you

and proclaim you as our Lord.

Eternal Father,

the entire earth worships you.

Angels sing to you

and the powers of heaven.

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of the Universe.

Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
