Dispatched by the wealthy book collector Boris Balkan to track down the last remaining copies of the Satanist text The Nine Gates Of The Kingdom Of Shadows, Dean Corso (Johnny Depp) finds himself in the sumptuous country house of wheelchair-bound bibliophile Baroness Kessler (Barbara Jefford).
Narrowing her eyes, the Baroness peers inquisitively at her guest.
"What is it you wish to discuss, Mr Corso?"
Corso catches the Baroness's eye.
"Ah, there's a book in your collection I'd like to examine if possible_"
For just a moment, he hesitates.
"It's The Book Of The Nine Gates Of The Kingdom Of Shadows."
The Baroness lets slip a small smirk.
"The Nine Gates? It's an interesting work. Everyone's been asking me about it lately."
"Is that so?"
The Baroness wheels herself into the adjacent room - her library. Corso gazes in astonishment at the sheer scale of her collection. Absent-mindedly, Corso faces his hostess.
"Do you truly believe in the Devil, Baroness?"
"Enough to devote my life and library to him", she responds. "Not to mention many years of work."
The Baroness spins around, her gaze directed at Corso.
"Don't you?"
Corso considers his answer for a second before replying.
"Almost."
