Premature Burial Page #5

Oh, Miles...

maybe it's not too late for us.

But, Emily...

I made a mistake.

Is that so very wrong?

Come in!

Dr. Archer.

What is it, Judson?

It's... excuse me, milady.

It's something I'd

like you to see, sir...

if you would.

- A medical matter?

- Yes.

Then certainly Dr. Gault

could take care of it.

I think Dr. Gault

Would want you to come...

as quickly as possible, sir.

Perhaps you had

better go, Miles.

Now, come along, Judson.

Judson, why are you

behaving so oddly?

I heard a sound from

the laboratory, sir...

just a bit ago, and...

Yes?

See for yourself, sir.

Who's that?

Miles?

No welcome?

No rejoicing?

No kiss?

He's been killed

by electrical force.

Dr. Archer!

That's Sweeney.

Emily.

Emily?

Guy.

Now...

Guy, you've got to listen to me.

To what? More lies? More deceit?

More treachery?

No, no. That's not true.

Oh, but it is.

You were very clever, Emily.

VERY clever.

In a way, I'm sorry

to spoil your plans.

Oh, I had no plans.

It was Kate.

You... you wouldn't kill me,

Would you, Guy?

No, darling, not at all...

just as you didn't kill ME.

You wouldn't soil

your pretty hands with murder.

No, you just stood aside

and let them bury me alive!

No, Guy! No!

And so... I shall not kill YOU.

That sorry task I shall

leave to the earth...

and the darkness...

and the terrified pounding

of your own heart.

Guy, no! Not that!

Yes, my beautiful,

my perfidious...

my treacherous love... THAT.

No, Guy!

Guy!

Stay precisely

Where you are, Miles.

I've no desire to harm you.

What have you done, Guy?

Paid a debt of long standing.

No!

This has nothing to do with you.

I found that out

earlier this evening.

In heaven's name, Guy!

Yes... in heaven's name.

Give me that shovel!

She's dead!

Thank God.

Kate, what are you saying?

Are you so blind?

Can't you see?

That's the key to the crypt.

She had no time to replace it.

I can't believe it. Not Emily.

Yes. Emily.

Sweet, beautiful, gentle Emily.

Once you told her

how easy it would be...

to use Guy's fear to kill him,

she went to work.

First, the hiring

of the grave robbers...

to torment him...

the cat in the wall...

and finally the desecration

of our father's tomb.

Oh, Guy!

I knew what she was doing...

and I wanted to tell you...

but you wouldn't

have believed me.

I had to wait for proof.

You can see that, can't you?

But I waited too long.

I was too late.

Too late.
