The Legend of Hell House Page #3

Controlled multiple haunting,

absolutely unique in haunted houses.

A surviving will so powerful...

...that he can dominate

all other surviving sources.

You mean Emeric Belasco?

He's kept me from the chapel.

He made it seem like

Daniel possessed the cat.

He caused the attack on Dr. Barrett.

He's also keeping Daniel's soul

imprisoned here.

He's like a general with his army.

Never entering the battle

but always controlling it.

Just what have you been doing,

Mr. Fischer?

Have you been drinking?

I don't think that's your business.

Although I do think

it's a very good idea.

- Come on.

- No.

You come on.

Mrs. Barrett?

Yes, Ben?

You should not

leave your husband alone.

Oh, I think he's all right.

He's sleeping.

Mrs. Barrett,

you must go back upstairs.

Did you know

this was where it all happened?

Where all what happened?

All that debauchery...

...and vice.

Right here.

Right around this very table.

- You don't know what you're saying.

- Yes, I do.

I know exactly what I'm saying,

Mr. Fischer.

Mr. B.F. Fischer.

Mrs. Barrett, it's this house.

- It's making you...

- This house isn't doing anything.

I'm doing it.

Touch me.

Touch me

or I'll find somebody who will!

No! No!

I know you won't forgive me now.

I know what I did.

I'd give anything to undo it.

I just don't know why

I went down those stairs.

I knew what I was doing, l...

I knew.

But at the same time...

I'm not asking you to forgive me...

...but please, please don't hate me.

I need you. I love you.

I just don't understand

what's happening to me.

I just don't understand.

It's all right.

It'll pass

after we've left this house.

I love you too.

Doctor, I think your wife

is in grave danger.

- What happened...

- Mr. Fischer.

- It was not her fault.

- Please.

This is a matter of life and death.

Today was not the first occurrence.

Did you know

she walked down here last night?

- When?

- Near midnight.

You were asleep. So was she.

- She walked in her sleep?

- Yes.

You should have told me.

No, doctor, she should have.

The fact that she didn't...

I don't think you know

what is going on in this house.

- What I think is irrelevant.

- Irrelevant?

What do you mean by irrelevant?

It's already gotten to Miss Tanner

and you. Haven't you noticed?

I've noticed several things.

One is you're blocking yourself off.

Another is Mr. Deutsch is obviously

wasting a third of his money.

One is you're blocking yourself off.

I am not blocking anything.

I'm just not sticking my neck out

the way I did in 1953.

- Ben, I've been thinking...

- Give up.

Give up?

What's happened?

I thought we trusted each other.

I don't trust anyone.

Or anything.

And anyone who does in this house...

...is a fool.

Something has happened.

Lots of things.

Nothing we can't handle.

Wrong.

There is nothing in this house

that we can handle.

That's not true.

We've made wonderful progress.

Toward what?

Our graves?

Daniel, for instance,

and how Belasco works.

Daniel!

Daniel, Daniel, Daniel!

How do you know he ever even existed?

The body.

Is that your proof?

How do you know he isn't

just a figment of your imagination?

How do you know his personality

isn't what you made of it?

- I just know I'm right!

- We all knew we were right in 1953 too.

Grace Lauter, a successful medium for...

...for 20 years.

She jumped off the balcony...

...and shattered both her legs.

Dr. Graham...

...physicist.

He crawled out of this house...

...to die.

Professor Rand...

...head of the chemistry department

at Oxford.

Paralyzed.

Professor Fenley...

...a psychic investigator.

Crippled and insane to this day.

Yes...

...you're right.

I am obstructing. You're quite right.

I'm shut off.

I'm going to stay shut off...

...until I am far away from this place.

I'll collect my 100,000...

...and I am never going to come

within 1000 miles of this house...

...for as long as I live.

And I suggest you do the same.

Ben...

- Anything I can do to help?

- I'm afraid not.

It's just too complicated.

Thanks all the same.

What's it going to do, Lionel?

You've heard me talk

about the power in this house.

It's a real power, Ann.

A field of measurable energy.

Energy that can be reversed.

That's what I'm going to do.

By this time tomorrow, Hell House

will be drained. De-energized.

You'll see.

That pile of junk you have there...

...won't do a thing.

Get her out. Get out yourself.

You haven't got a chance.

Have you?

Yes.

I know the score.

You do not fight this house!

Look, the house doesn't mind

a guest or two.

It doesn't like people who attack it.

Belasco and his people don't like it.

They will fight back and kill you.

So leave that alone and spend

the rest of the week doing nothing.

On Sunday, tell Deutsch what he

wants to hear and bank the money.

Try anything else, you'll be

a dead man with a dead wife at your side.

He won't listen, will he?

I was the only one...

...to make it out of here alive

and sane in 1953.

And I will be the only one...

...to make it out of here alive

and sane this time.

He's wrong.

I told you before, Florence Tanner

is wrong in what she believes.

I'm telling you now

that Fischer is equally wrong.

Tomorrow it will be proved.

Help me.

Please.

Please, help me.

Help me, Florence. Help me.

You're my only hope.

Daniel, you must understand.

What you ask is impossible. I can't.

I believe in you.

I've opened my heart to you.

Florence...

... love me.

No.

Help me...

... Florence.

Help me.

Dear God...

...reach down your hand

and give me your protection.

Help me this night to bring to you...

...the tortured soul of Daniel Belasco.

I give you now

the love you've never known.

I give it freely so you'll gain

the strength to go on from this house.

I love you.

And I love you.

With love. Please, with love.

Florence...

How long have you been here?

All night.

There?

Stupid, you could have slept with me.

Who put on my nightdress?

Mrs. Barrett.

Why didn't you do it?

My God, he's inside me!

He lied to me.

He said it was the only way!

But he's inside me!

Even as I speak to you

I can feel him...

...waiting in there to take over!

It's going to be all right.

I'm taking you out this morning.

- He won't let me go.

- He can't stop you.

- Yes, he can.

- Well, he can't stop me.

Who the hell do you think you are,

you bastard?

You were hot stuff when you were 15

but now you're sh*t.

Hear me? Sh*t!

Dear God, help me.

I'm taking her away.

- How are you, Miss Tanner?

- I'm all right.

You needn't come back, Mr. Fischer.

This afternoon the house will be clear.

Clear? How?

- There isn't time to explain.

- I'm not leaving until I know.

I am not leaving until I know!

Right.

The body emits a form of energy

invisible to the human eye.

This energy can be expanded

beyond the body...

...where it can create mechanical,

chemical, physical effects.

Sounds, the movement of objects,

such as we've experienced.
