SARAH:
No, no!

- l couldn't let her go.

- l won't let you take her.

Please, darling, don't cry.

Sarah, dear, please don't cry.

lt'll be just as if l've gone away

for a little while.

Here.

You've always thought this so pretty.

As long as you wear this...

...you will remember me.

CARLOTTA:
Finally the rain stopped,

and a cold wind swept the grounds.

lt was then l saw her,

high in the tree, a rope around her neck.

Reverend Strack stared up at her...

- ...his face a mask of hatred.

STRACK:
Angelique Collins...

...you have been condemned

as a witch, and you must die.

But your spirit will not live after you...

...for your earthly remains

will hang here...

...until your spirit returns to the pits

of darkness forevermore.

ANGELlQUE:

l have lost him...

...but l will have him again.

You will help me, Sarah.

You will know when the time comes...

...for it is your love

that will keep me alive.

STRACK:

Oh, Lord, thou hast heard her threats.

Protect us from her evils.

Guard us with thy invincible strength...

...for thou knowest that we do

what we must...

...for thy sake, in thy name. Amen.

Prepare yourself for eternity, witch.

Let the devil take his own.

MRS. CASTLE:

Sarah.

Sarah!

Sarah, please, come inside.

ANGELlQUE:

But l will have him again.

You will help me, Sarah.

You will know when the time comes...

...for it is your love

that will keep me alive.

Then her spirit is still alive in this house.

For certain of us, yes.

For me, for you.

But l'm not Charles Collins.

CARLOTTA:

You will come to accept it...

...after a time.

And then you will realize something else.

There is no longer any place

in this house for Mrs. Collins.

l love Tracy.

l'll always love Tracy,

and nothing can change that.

lf you truly believe that...

...then l suggest

you leave Collinwood immediately...

...if you can.

Do you know how much l need you?

[PHONE RlNGlNG]

Hello?

- Tracy, honey, what's wrong?

- Oh, Alex, how gloomy you are.

There's nothing wrong.

l called to say everything's perfect.

Listen, Trace, Claire and l should go

to New York tonight.

And we thought we'd stop in

at Burton's gallery.

He's an authority on

early American artists, isn't he?

- l think he's the best. Why?

- Tell you when l get back.

- You sure you're gonna be okay?

- Go, Alex, go.

Nothing bad will happen to us now.

Okay, honey, l'll see you later.

- Who was that?

- Just Alex.

He and Claire have to go

to New York for a few days.

lt's late. Let's go to bed.

You go ahead. l want to finish this first.

Now, go on.

l'll be up soon, huh?

TRACY:

Don't read all night.

Quentin?

l thought you said you weren't

gonna come here anymore.

Quentin, what's happened to you?

What's wrong?

There's someone else

in that room, isn't there?

Why don't you go back to bed?

ls there someone else in that room?

You make me sick.

l can't stand the sight of you anymore.

Now, get out.

l said, get out.

Don't you ever let me catch you

up here again.

CARLOTTA:

Oh, Mrs. Collins...

...l thought these

might brighten the room.

Aren't they lovely?

Carlotta, where's Mr. Collins?

Oh, didn't he tell you?

He just left for town.

He needs some supplies.

You do know he's painting

in the tower, don't you?

Yes, l know.

ls something wrong, Mrs. Collins?

Yes, Carlotta, something is wrong.

Anything l've done?

No.

No, never mind.

What is it, Mrs. Collins?

You don't seem very happy here,

whereas Mr.--

l don't think that's any of your business.

Certainly, if that's the way you feel.

- What time will dinner be this evening?

- l don't know what...

...time.

Mrs. Collins...

...did you ever stop to think

that perhaps you don't belong here?

QUENTlN:

Carlotta, have you seen my jacket?

Never mind. l'll check the tower.

Can't buy a damn thing

without my wallet.

Mrs. Collins.

QUENTlN:

Tracy.

- Have you seen my jacket?

- No.

No, l haven't.

QUENTlN:

Oh, it's all right.

Look.

l know you went to the tower room.

lt doesn't matter.

Oh, don't cry.

You're gonna flood the place.

Come here.

l've been so afraid.

l didn't understand any of it.

And then the things

that you said to me last night.

QUENTlN:

l didn't mean any of them.

No, l know you didn't.

Quentin, look at me.

Do you love me?

Yes.

l love you, Tracy.

TRACY:

Stop.

Stop it. Quentin. Stop it.

Quentin, please,

don't touch me like that.

Stop it.

You do have such a lovely body.

[TRACY YELLS]

l'll touch you whenever

and however l want.

And if you don't like it,

you can always leave.

Coffee's coming.

ALEX:

l need this more.

l don't like being back here.

Yeah, l know.

l still can't get over the likeness.

Charles Collins could be his twin.

All that Quent needs

is that scar on his cheek...

...and you wouldn't be able

to tell the difference.

CLAlRE:
l still don't see how showing

him that is gonna make him leave here.

ALEX:
Honey, l gotta break through

to him some way.

lf l can get him to admit

that it's more than a coincidence...

...we got a shot.

Well, it'll have to wait until morning.

Alex, come to bed.

What time is it?

Alex.

Alex!

[SCREAMS]

[MUTED SOUND]

Oh, my God.

Alex. Oh, Alex.

Alex, please be all right.

Alex.

Oh, Alex. Alex.

Alex.

[ALEX GASPlNG]

Quentin?

Are you here?

Quentin.

Quentin?

QUENTlN:

Did you come to spy on us, Laura?

TRACY:

Where are you?

Quentin?

Where are you?

QUENTlN:

lsn't it enough that you killed her?

What are you talking about?

What's wrong with you?

QUENTlN:

Won't you ever leave us alone?

Ever?

Quentin, it's me.

No, Laura.

l'm going to make sure

that you never interfere.

No, it's me.

Stop it. lt's me.

[TRACY SCREAMlNG]

CLAlRE:
Suppose he won't leave.

ALEX:
He'll leave, if l have to...

...drag him out of there.

Alex, there he is.

No, no, wait.

CLAlRE:
What was he doing here?

ALEX:
l don't know.

lt's Tracy!

Get her, baby.

Come on, honey.

Tracy.

CLAlRE:

Oh, Tracy.

Open the door. Open the door!

- Where is he?

CARLOTTA:
He's right up--

ALEX:

Quentin!

Quentin.

CARLOTTA:
No, Mr. Jenkins, please--

- Quentin.

Leave him alone.

We tried to stop him.

ALEX:
You didn't succeed, Quentin.

She's still alive.

What are you talking about?

Are you gonna tell me

you don't know what you did?

l didn't do a thing. l've been painting.

- Now, what are you so upset about?

- You tried to drown Tracy.

Quentin, it wasn't you.

- lt was Charles Collins drowning--

- Alex, you don't--

For chrissake, Quentin, listen to me.

She's at my place right now.

Now, you've got to get out of this house.

Quentin, all you have to do

is come with me.

Tracy understands.

Where's Mrs. Collins?

Well, l'm sure she's in her room.

Tracy!

Tracy.

You're right. She's gone.

lf that's the way she wants it,

it's fine with me.

- Quentin, that's not you--

- Alex.

Listen to me.

l've known you for a long time.

l'm sick of your insane writer's mind.

l don't wanna talk about it. l just want you

to get out of here and take her with you.
