Turn twice to 3:
00.

Lieutenant Mason.!

Hurry, Horatio!

They're coming!

Turn the hands of the dial. Okay.

Melody! The letter!

Hoo! Hoo!

It went in and out!

In and out! In and out!

It's gone. Did you

see it open?

Yes, I saw it. It was there. Dr.

Greenway, the drawer was open!

The drawer was open!

I don't know...

Zip! Dr. Greenway! I'm not

kiddin' ya! Stick up your hands.

With thine eyes

And I will

Pledge. Pledge.

Pledge with mine

It would've been cheaper to

buy a watch. Come on, Greenway.

Oh, hurry, Horatio. Get the clock. Okay.

Oh! Oh, come on, Horatio.

Hurry up and come on.

I had it right in my hands!

I know, but come on.

We'll get it.

Come on, Horatio. Come on.

If you'll only listen. We know

the letter's in that clock. Yeah?

How? Tom Danbury's ghost told us so.

That's all, brother. Get

in. Don't worry, Ralph.

We'll get the best lawyer

in New York to defend you.

And you can always

plead insanity. You know how.

It wasn't me.

It was Horatio.

Horatio, huh? Gonna give

me some more of that...

Come on.

Let's get outta here.

Hey, what's the idea of

jammin' on the brakes like that?

I didn't touch the

brakes. I suppose I did it!

Come on.

Let's get goin'.

Well, what's the matter

now? I don't know, sir.

Something's holding us back.

I'd better get out and find out.

Horatio.

Horatio!

They stopped.

Shelly. June.

Don't worry, Dr. Greenway.

As long as we're in here,

they can't get through the gates.

Horatio, do you think you can

work this contraption? Why?

The well. We could hide the doctor and

the clock there, until the police leave.

Hey, what an idea.

Now let's see.

He turned it with this.

He pushed that.

And stepped on this.

Aw, you've blown your top.

There's nothing the matter here.

Get in the backseat. I'll

drive. Okay, Lieutenant.

Now get in!

It's supposed to run the other

way.! Push the handle down.

Whoo.!

- This is fun.

- There's nobody at the wheel.

Hey, Greenway!

Stop that car!

Get outta the way.!

Close the gates!

What do I do now?

Look out!

Melody.!

It's headin' for the well.

M-Melody.

- Oh, Horatio.

- A fella could get killed doin' this. Odsbodkins!

Whoa! Well, how are we gonna

explain this to the chief?

Ah! So you tried

to get away, huh?

No, no. No, no!

Ralph, you all right?

I don't know yet.

Ralph.

The clock!

Shelly! Shelly,

here it is!

- The letter.

- Melody! They got it! They got it!

Now do you believe us? Well,

right now, I'll believe anything.

But will Chief Callahan

believe me? No.

Now the curse is ended.

This proves

they weren't traitors.

And their spirits are no longer

bound to these acres.

They're free. Free.

We're free. We're free.

Melody, what are we waiting for?

Come on!

Wait a minute.

Here, Lieutenant,

this is yours.

Thanks. I'm...

Well?

Well?

Well, there's nothing

to be f-frightened of.

Mistress Melody,

ladies first. You go.

I'm out!

You made it.

Melody! I...

Melody. Melody!

Oh, Horatio.

There you are.

Thank you.

Melody. Melody.

Oh, it's Tom. My Tom.

Good-bye, Horatio.

I'm going to miss you.

Good-bye, Melody.

I'm gonna miss you too.

But don't you worry. Just as

soon as Nora and I get settled,

we'll have you and Tom

over for dinner.

I'll have Nora bake

a nice, big angel cake.

Horatio.

Here I am, Horatio.

Nora! Nora!

Horatio.

Here I am.

Nora!

Oh, Horatio.

You've waited for me.

It's been a long time.

Now that I'm here,

nothing can keep us apart.

Let me in.

I can't, Horatio.

Why?

Odsbodkins.
