Rudi, come on!

Come on, lighten up!

You touch me again,

I'm going to kill you!

Hey, come on.

Let's all go have a drink, okay?

Look, why don't you guys

just go to f***ing hell?

Let's go, Maggie.

We're all falling apart.

Come on.

I'll take you home.

Now, Alfred,

you can buy me that drink.

Come on, Ann.

Amelia?

It's you.

Amelia's coming over with some stuff.

She should be here any second.

Hey, do me a favour.

Slap on ten more, huh?

I guess I should have minded

my own business tonight, huh?

Amelia says we're falling apart,

and I'm starting to agree with her.

That was kind of easy.

How about two more 25s?

I just don't understand it.

We've been together

for such a long time.

All of a sudden,

we're at each other's throats.

Make sure you tighten it, huh?

Okay, that's it.

What are you doing?

Come on, put them back.

Come on!

Quit screwing around!

Come on, please put them back!

For God's f***ing sake,

put them back!

God, please.

I can't hold it.

It's not a joke anymore. Please.

I can't hold it.

Hey, Greg!

Pizza delivery girl.

I've got one all dressed

with anchovies.

Greg.

Greg?

Kill them! Kill them! Kill them!

Kill, kill, kill them!

Kill them!

- Come on!

- Rudi!

Go, Rudi!

- 2 to 10 says we'll never make it.

- You've got it.

Come on, guys.

We're running out of time.

This way!

- I've got it!

- Give him a head shot!

Oh, God. Oh, God.

Give me a break.

Don't worry.

Greg wouldn't take off in the middle

of the night without telling me.

We sure could use him now.

All right!

Thank you.

Give me one more!

Come on, baby!

Come on, Rudi!

No, no, no! Not now!

That's five. One more.

Come on.

Thank you.

Rudi, you were great.

That goal was just terrific.

Yeah, sorry I was

such a jerk last night.

That's okay.

Are you doing anything later on?

No.

Well, I'll tell you what.

I'll meet you at the chapel.

Okay.

You cannot refuse.

You must follow me into the tower.

That smell!

The putrescence of decay.

But fear not, my little darling,

for although we are doomed to die,

we shall live forever

in the ranks of the undead.

Rudi, you stop that right now

or I'm not going to go another step.

I'm sorry.

I can't resist in a place like this.

Yeah, it's creepy, all right.

You've never been

up here before, have you?

You know, I keep on forgetting

that you're new here at Crawford.

No, I'm not.

I was here before you.

Oh, yeah? When?

Four years ago.

That's funny.

How come nobody ever mentioned it?

Well, it was just

for a few weeks, but...

They've all forgotten me.

I will never forget you, my darling.

Rudi!

I just love this place!

I swear.

I feel just like Quasimodo.

Quasimodo in a bell tower!

Thank God you don't look like him.

Give me a little kiss, Esmeralda.

A little peck on the cheek.

Rudi, stop it. Stop it!

Next thing I know, you'll be

swinging from the bell rope.

- That's not a bad idea.

- Rudi, are you crazy?

Virginia...

...you know, if I cut this bell rope

almost all the way through...

No.

Rudi, no.

Virginia...

...I've got a knife.

Virginia...

...don't go away.

Come over here, Virginia.

Jesus!

Help. Murder!

- Is Dr. Faraday in his office?

- Probably. Let me check for you.

Roll for the flap.

Fishhook.

Drill is next.

Irrigation, please.

Craniotome.

Free bone flap.

Are her vital signs stable?

Yes. She's breathing well,

and her blood pressure is stable.

- The brain is swelling.

- I'll hyperventilate her.

Cerebral oedema.

She's finished. Close her up.

Now, close her!

She's dead!

Jesus, no!

Stop! Somebody, stop him!

God, don't let him do it!

Somebody, help me!

He killed part of my brain.

He killed part of me!

Virginia, you've remembered

the operation.

It's coming back piece by piece.

The knife. The blood.

The operation, Virginia.

No! It was today!

It was today! Don't you see?

I was with Rudi!

We were in the bell tower,

and he had a knife!

I was so scared.

And then what happened?

I don't know.

I panicked! I came here!

God, I thought you'd help me!

Come here.

Come on, Virginia.

Come on.

You need some rest.

I'm going to take you home.

All right?

Listen, I'll check out the bell tower.

Don't you worry about a thing.

Right now I'm taking you home.

Come on.

Come on.

It's all right. It's all right.

According to Tracy,

head of the investigation,

two more students

have disappeared.

Lieutenant Tracy

refuses to confirm or deny

that police believe

the incidents are related.

Also missing

is Etienne Vercours,

a French citizen on an exchange

program at the Crawford Academy.

He is the son of

Ambassador Adrienne Vercours.

The third missing student

is Gregory Hellman,

the son of Nathaniel Hellman,

Chairman of the Trans-Allied

Finance Corporation.

In other news,

police are investigating

a mysterious incident

at Crawford Chapel yesterday.

Vandals severed the bell tower rope.

But with the discovery

of a bloodied knife,

police are looking further

into the matter,

believing foul play

may be involved as well.

In sports, the five-game

unbeaten streak of the Houston...

Yes, sir, they're in the library.

When did you last see Greg Hellman?

I saw him the night before last.

We went to the show together.

Just give me your name,

rank, and serial number.

It was an anonymous phone call.

That's why they're digging.

Christ, every day

someone else is missing.

- Where the hell is Rudi?

- Why are you worried?

The other night,

you wanted to kill him.

They think that Greg may be dead.

Okay, that's all.

- David.

- Virginia, come here.

I want to talk to you.

David, I'm so scared.

Rudi is missing.

Listen, it's very important that

you tell me exactly what happened

in the bell chapel yesterday.

Well, I went with Rudi.

We went up to the church.

Dr. Faraday, is anything the matter?

Sir, you'd better come outside.

Hey, everybody, I think

they found something outside!

What is it, Bobby?

What is it?

Please, let us through!

Let's move it on back here.

Hi, there.

Where have you been?

Where have I been?

Where have you been?

What happened to you yesterday?

- Yesterday?

- In the bell tower.

I nearly cut my hand off

with that lousy rope.

Fifteen stitches.

You creep!

You had me believing...

It was all a joke.

- You didn't tell anybody, did you?

- Tell anybody?

They've been turning the school

upside down

looking for you and the others.

They're even out there right now,

digging in the garden.

I was afraid to say anything.

Oh, dear God!

Lieutenant, do you mind

if I take a look at that?

Go right ahead, Dr. Faraday.

Thank you.

I think you should have

another look at this.

"Property of Crawford Academy

Science Department. "

What did he say?

Here.

Rudi.

Virginia!

- Rudi, I thought that was you.

- I'm prettier than that.

You're still a bastard.

Listen, David, please don't say

anything about this to anybody.

I don't want to get Rudi in trouble.

No, I'm not going to say

anything to anybody, but I...
