lt's my marriage to you that will

save them from the poorhouse.

Th-- The poorhouse?

You're lying. lt isn't true.

Tell me that you're lying!

Did things not go according

to your plan, Lord Barkis?

Well, perhaps in disappointment

we are perfectly matched.

Be gone, ye demons from hell!

Back to the void

from whence you came!

You shall not enter here.

Back, back!

Keep it down, we're in a church.

Evening.

Dearly beloved and departed

we are gathered here today to join

this man and this corpse in marriage.

Victor?

Living first.

With this hand

l will lift your sorrows.

Your cup will never empty

for l will be your wine.

Now you.

With this hand

l will lift your sorrows.

Your cup will never empty.

For l will be...

l will be...

Go on, my dear.

Your cup

will never empty

for l will be...

l will be your wine.

She's having second thoughts.

l can't.

What's wrong?

This is wrong.

l was a bride.

My dreams were taken from me.

Well, now...

Now l've stolen them

from someone else.

l love you, Victor.

But you're not mine.

Victoria!

Oh, how touching.

l always cry at weddings.

Our young lovers together at last.

Surely now they can live

happily ever after.

But you forget

she's still my wife!

l'll not leave here empty-handed!

You?

Emily?

You!

But-- But-- l left you.

For dead.

This woman is obviously delusional!

Sorry to cut things short,

but we must be on our way.

Take your hands off her.

Do l have to kill you too?

Victor, catch!

Sorry.

l say, you're not playing fair, sir.

Touch, my dear.

Get out.

Oh, l'm leaving.

But first a toast. To Emily.

Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

Tell me, my dear

can a heart still break

once it's stopped beating?

Let me at him! Let me at him!

-No, don't hold me back.

-Wait.

We must abide by their rules.

We are amongst the living.

Well said.

Not anymore.

Yep, you're right. He's all yours.

New arrival.

Oh, Victor,

l never thought l'd see you again.

Wait.

l made a promise.

You kept your promise.

You set me free.

Now l can do the same for you.
