In another dream, Lorna brings her friend, Bella, to visit a dilapidated seaside castle where she resides. She rebuffs him, and tells William and his friends that she does not know the man. Later, at the club, Pierce watches Lorna from a distance before approaching her at her table, addressing her as the Countess. William recounts a story to Lorna about a countess who, under the influence of Satan, murdered her husband after he built her a palace. Lorna goes into a trancelike state where she begins writhing on the floor in front of the guests, who, under the influence of the drug, approach her like animals, crawling along the floor. Later, she accompanies William to a party held by psychiatrist Ralf, where the partygoers indulge in LSD. She is horrified to see the man-who has been stabbed through the eye-resembles the Admiral Kapp from her nightmare. A curious Lorna approaches the body in the chapel and removes a shawl covering the dead man's face. The following day, Lorna and William stroll through the city together and stumble upon a funeral wake where numerous women mourn in the street. Lorna meets with a man named Admiral Kapp, and the two engage in a word association game with one another, repeating names of famous writers and artists, before Lorna stabs him through the eye socket. She travels there by trolley, and is met by Pierce, a mysterious man who feels he has manifested Lorna as a "disciple of evil" and a devil on earth to do his bidding. Lorna has a bizarre dream in which she is a countess who is running late to a dinner party being held for her at her castle. After performing at the club one night, Lorna returns home and is visited by William, who spends the night. She is overseen by her manager, William Francis Mulligan, an American who "discovered" Lorna and helped her forge her nightclub act. In Lisbon, Lorna Green works as a nightclub dancer who performs sadomasochistic acts that end with simulated murders, which shock and titillate the club patrons.
