are gonna go back to Boston.

You guys should

leave this place right away.

We"ll be gone

in a couple of hours.

All we have to do is pack up.

Okay.

Why don't you just drop it?

You'll never decipher

the words of the damn song.

Okay, okay. The simple fact

that the computer doesn't know,

proves that I'm right.

Oh, yeah.

Don't you see? Those voices

had no logical explanation.

We picked up

a telepathic message

on the radio.

You can't know what's gonna

happen in the future.

Yes, you can.

Cases of precognition

have occurred.

Since when are you

into that stuff?

About 45 minutes.

I checked out this book

while you were in the shower.

Oh?

Remember Jack the Ripper?

The psychopath

who butchered seven women?

Yeah?

So there was

this Anglican priest

who had a vision

of the last murder

a few days before it happened.

- Where?

- In the street car.

The murder took place

in a street car.

No, the minister

was on a street car

when he suddenly had the vision.

Are you getting stupid

or something?

Look who's talking.

Did you learn all that

while I was washing my hair?

Would you be serious?

Would you climb off

your high horse?

You know something,

I've had enough. Good bye.

Hello.

Lieutenant Ferguson, please.

Oh, it's you, sir.

No, this is Paul Rogers.

Pardon?

You haven't caught him yet?

Lieutenant,

I was just wondering,

what did Sam Baker do

for a living?

Uh-huh?

Just outside of town.

I see. Right.

Thank you. Bye.

A funeral home?

Some joke, huh?

You a**hole. Who are you?

What are you doing here?

My name is Pepe.

Just looking for a place

to spend the night.

Froze my buns off last night.

You in the camper over there?

Forget it, we're leaving.

Well, okay. Hey, want some?

- No.

- Come on, it's good for you.

Okay.

Heard nobody stays

in this house any more.

Is that true?

Great.

You're not gonna sleep in there.

Sure, why not?

A roof's a roof.

You wanna come

help me explore it?

Okay. So long.

Tina! Tina!

Come on, Tina.

Hurry up, we're going.

- What's going on?

- I don't know.

The distributor's been

giving me some problems.

Boy, I hope

this is real silver.

Who's there?

You could say something,

you know.

You haven't said a word

since we left Boston.

Leave me alone.

Just hurry.

I don't wanna sit here

like an idiot all day long.

- Anybody here?

- I'm in the back.

Looks alive, doesn't she?

You should've seen her

when they brought her in.

Poor old thing.

She was hit by a bus.

I am at your complete disposal.

And may I offer you

my sincerest condolences.

No, I just wanted

some information.

Yes.

About 20 years ago, did you know

a Mr. Sam Baker?

Why do you ask?

Just curious. Did you know him?

Well, of course, I did.

I used to work

for Sam Baker back then.

And I took over the company

after his death.

We didn't have this place here.

We had a little place

near the cemetery.

Can you tell me

anything about him?

Sam was a good man.

He didn't deserve

the end he came to.

- Even if?

- Even if what?

Well, let's just say

I didn't approve

of some of his practices.

For instance?

He had a real bad habit.

He used to take little things

off the deceased, you know.

Nothing important.

A locket. A little necklace.

Maybe a pen.

Can you recall

any particular object?

- It's been a long time.

- Yeah, sure.

Wait a minute. I remember.

It happened just before he died.

We had an argument about it.

Sam took a doll

that was supposed to be buried

with the deceased owner.

He said his little girl

would love it.

Did you say a doll?

I got really mad that time.

It wasn't valuable or anything.

That wasn't the point.

You can talk to Old Harvey

the cemetery custodian about it.

I'll bet he remembers.

How far is the cemetery

from here?

Less than two miles.

Right after you cross

the highway, on your left.

Thank you, Mr. Gaffey.

I don't know

that he'll be there today.

It's Saturday.

You better get on

out of here, Valkos.

The police are looking

all over the place for you

and I don't want any trouble.

What did

that son of a b*tch want?

Nothing. Just some information.

You're all on this together.

All transgressors of God's will.

That's foolishness.

You just get on out of here.

You're in cahoots with them,

you scum.

You get out of here, right now

and I won't tell anybody

I've seen you, Valkos.

No. No!

No. No.

No.

Okay, Doc, what have you got?

Well, I've done the autopsy.

You know, in all my years,

I've never seen a case

stranger than this.

- I just...

- Oh, not you, too.

Just got a call

from one of the kids.

The HAM radio operator.

He wanted to know

what poor Sam Baker did

for a living.

I wonder what those kids

have dreamed up now.

Look, I-I just can't go along

with your reconstruction

of this case.

What are you saying, Doc?

The wound appears to be

a clean incision.

There are no torn tissues,

no bruises.

And further more,

the blade severed the artery

on an upward angle

coming from below.

So?

That boy

could not have been killed

by a blow from someone using

the fan as a weapon.

The only hypothesis that

holds up scientifically at all.

One of the fan blades broke off

while it was running.

Centrifugal force sent the blade

flying through the air

and it slices

through the boy's throat.

From an upward angle.

Are you joking?

You know as well as I do

that the fan

is not in running order.

I mean, it just doesn't

even have a motor.

How can it work without a motor,

without electrical current?

If you recall, 20 years ago,

when the Bakers were killed,

we had a lot of questions

we didn't have any answers for.

And people were wondering

a long time after that.

To hell with them.

People are susceptible,

they are gullible.

And don't you forget about

the Salem Witch trials.

This is good old

Massachusetts, Doc.

That's neither here nor there.

Have you picked up Valkos yet?

It's just a matter of time.

We set up roadblocks

throughout the entire county.

We should be quick about it.

I've got a bad feeling

about this.

I've got the feeling

that the worst is yet to come.

It's those kids.

Stop worrying.

They're not

in any danger any more.

They left the house by now.

I did so see him

going into the house.

He was this weird guy

and he had this skeleton arm.

- He had what?

- A skeleton arm.

Are you deaf?

Oh, come on, Tina,

give me a break.

He did and I saw it.

You never believe

anything I say.

- That...

- will you guys just cut it out?

Wait right here.

Look, there's nobody in there.

It's okay.

I swear I saw him, Mark.

I'm not kidding.

Sure, Tina.

Listen, why don't you go inside

and watch some television?

What can you do?

She's been making things up

ever since she could talk.

But this time

she's gone too far.

No, I think she's in shock

over Jim.

I mean, he was the only one

who could really handle her.

Listen, about Jim,

I don't believe in ghosts and

spirits and that kind of stuff.

This is almost the 21st century.
