The Unfolding Page #5

She's thanking me.

She's thanking Rose and...

She's thanking you all for being here.

And she's free.

I don't believe it,

I can smell flowers.

So can I.

No, wait. There's somebody else here.

Nothing. No one here.

- Are you all right, Muriel?

- It's okay, Phillip, it's passed.

I have still not cleared this place.

Christ, Professor, what else

do we know about this man?

Very little, I'm afraid.

In those times, if someone

committed a terrible crime,

their name was struck from the records,

so we know virtually nothing about him,

other than what the legend tells us.

His name might be struck from

the records but he certainly isn't.

What was evil then is

obviously still evil today.

We just have to concentrate on

what is happening here and now.

This is what H-bombs do. They massacre.

This system of ongoing, perpetual war

is an unsustainable system

that threatens the existence

of all life on Planet Earth.

You have to understand that there is

no defence against "Launch on Warning".

They won't die alone.

The reason she was trapped

was her sadness.

There was no thought of revenge.

Sorry, Professor, but can I

ask you a question about Muriel?

Yes, by all means.

How does she...

How does she do what she does?

Well, I believe that there is a channel,

a communications channel, if you will,

and mediums like Muriel

are able to tune into it.

But how is that possible?

Well, I wish I could answer

that question for you, Harvey.

All I can say is that science doesn't

seem to know how she does it either.

But I have no doubt that she acts

as a channel between this side

and the communicating intelligence,

in this case, Lucasta.

Beautiful flower garden.

Oh, Rose.

Rose, I don't want you

involved in any more of this.

Rose, I don't.

I've spoken to the Professor.

Tam, lam more a part of this

now than anybody else.

I want to face

that cowardly, vile, evil man,

and I want him to know

that we know what he did

and that he can't hide

from it any longer.

Rose, I don't like

the direction this is going.

Tam, it was always heading

in this direction, as you put it.

This is something I have to do.

It's important to me.

- Okay.

- It's real.

Okay.

I'm sorry, Rose.

I've got something to show you.

It was... it was here.

I believe you, Tam.

I just wish you'd believed me.

I know that's him, Tam.

I can feel it.

Come on, let's get out of here.

The research has now given

to something else entirely.

We do have a real

and important mystery here.

And I think I speak for the entire

group gathered together in the house,

under now what area quite

exceptional circumstances.

And that our seeing this through

is important and necessary.

It's going to be very

different from last time.

So I want you to place your hands

on your solar plexus, like this.

And don't speak.

Whatever happens don't speak.

I can see him now.

You've been wandering for many years.

He wants to know

who all these people are.

I'm asking him the question.

Would you like to leave this place?

Would you like to pass through?

He's telling me no.

He's enjoying himself too much.

He says it's because

he enjoys the power.

He likes the control.

It reminds him of when

he practiced black magic.

No! No! No! No!

He's telling me he still wants to

kill people even though he's dead.

I will never leave this place!

No! No!

No!

No, I can't do it any more.

I can't do that any more.

I'm sorry.

What we would usually do in oases

like this is try to break their mind.

To let them know what they've

done and that they are dead.

Because most of them

don't actually know that.

And then they become

like normal human beings.

But with him...

With him, it feels very different.

How?

How is it different?

For him there is to be

no reconciliation.

It's me...

It's my mind he wants to break.

I'm really sorry but I need to rest.

Of course.

- All right?

- Yes.

Look, you look exhausted.

I think perhaps we've done enough here.

I think perhaps it's time we left.

No, really, Phillip.

As long as everyone joins me to absorb

the emotional energy of the passing.

I've just seen something in your face

which I thought I'd never see.

What's that?

Fear.

Nevertheless, we have an

obligation to help resolve this.

All right. Well, I suppose we'd better

talk about it in the morning. Come on.

We are now seeing vigorous...

- God, it's getting worse.

- ...diplomatic action...

...to restrain all sides

in the conflict.

It's like Cuba all over again.

10 broker a ceasefire

as quickly as possible.

Who's gonna get us out of it this time?

Things could be so different.

...leading to a much wider war.

Our governments are

just making it worse.

It's f***ing crazy.

The Bulletin's Doomsday Clack is now

at one minute to midnight.

Something bad is coming this way.

God bless everyone

and pray for our world.

Will we make it through the night?

Yeah, of course we will.

We have the Professor and Muriel here.

Yeah, they've done

this sort of thing before.

No, Tam, not us here

in the house. Everyone.

Everyone in the world,

will we make it through the night?

Honestly, Rose...

I really don't know.

Oh, God!

God!

There's something on

the outside of the door.

I can't hold this any more!

It's gone. It's gone.

Help!

Get off me!

What the f*** do you want?

Get the f*** away from us!

Take me! F*** you!

Where is he?

Huh?

I'm so sorry.

It's okay. We're gonna leave.

We're gonna leave.

We're gonna leave now.

It's okay, it's okay.

Jesus, what's going on?

- Harvey, we're leaving.

- Jesus Christ! Rose.

- Let me out!

- Open the door!

- Let's go.

- Oh, God, Tam! She's not here.

Muriel!

Get the Professor! Down here!

Harvey, go straight down.

Rose! Rose, come with me!

- Come on, come on!

- Muriel!

- Straight away.

- Which one?

- That one there!

- Professor!

- He's not here! He's not here!

- God, they're in the basement!

Professor!

Down there! I heard him.

- Phillip! Phillip!

- Come on!

Oh, Jesus Christ!

Muriel wasn't in her room. I came

down here, tried to open the door.

Something hit me, Tam.

It hit me hard. She's in there.

She's in there!

Tam, open the door! She's in there!

F***ing hell, there's something...

Harvey, push it!

There's f***ing something

on the other side!

- F***ing move!

- Muriel!

No, no, no!

- This is all my fault!

- Please!

Muriel.

- Is there anything we can do?

- No! She's gone!

I'm here! Can you hear me? I'm here!

She came down here by herself to where

the secret is hidden and buried away.

To draw him to his shame

and away from me.

Oh, my God!

She knew... she knew

what would cost her.

- We need to get her out.

- Tam, the temperature.

Tam, the temperature's...

It's not finished yet!

- We gotta go!

- Please get her out!

- Let's get out!

- Let me, let me, let me...

- Come on, come on.

- I'm coming!

Harvey!

Harvey!

Please!

Harvey! Harvey!

We need to leave! Get help!

- We can't leave him, Professor.
