With any luck, we'll be finished

before Mr. Jackson...

even gets back with the police.

I pray to God you're right.

I am.

Now, come back to bed

and finish your book.

You'll see, we're all perfectly safe.

Did you hear that?

No, I didn't hear anything.

I'm gonna go check on Whitney.

Whitney, are you asleep?

Oh, God, Whitney!

Whitney, wake up!

Whitney, snap out of it!

Oh no, oh no.

What happened?

Lauder's ghost tried to pass

through Whitney.

I told you, I couldn't control it!

It's all right, we caught it before

anything happened.

Did we?

You can't stop him!

He'll rise from the ashes

like the phoenix and destroy you!

Ya, ever heard of mouthwash,

you big, ugly f***!

Mr. Murphy, Mr. Murphy!

Oh, God!

Oh my God, man, what,

what happened to you?

Looks like our friend Elwin...

isn't miles away from here after all.

Where's Murphy?

He's dead.

What, are you sure?

Lauder's ghost tricked me.

He came through Whitney

when she was alone in her room.

What are you tellin' me,

the ghost killed him?

Yes, and probably Ginger, too!

We have to get out of this house

right now!

Gee, why didn't I think of that?

I want all of you to stay put until I get back.

It's OK, it's OK.

Over here.

Murphy wasn't killed by any ghost.

He was shot, probably by our pal, Elwin.

Here, wait here, I'll get the van.

Mr. Vincente, Mr. Vincente,

are you all right?

Oh, oh God!

Oh, Felix, Felix!

You're wounded!

Yeah, I know.

Is it bad?

He's not gonna be doing any sit-ups

for awhile...

but he'll live.

We've gotta get him to a doctor!

That loud bang you just heard...

that was the sound of our bus

leavin' without us.

The sun's gone down.

Your husband's in no condition to travel...

and I still got the hunchback

of Lauder House...

runnin' around out there!

I've gotta get out of here!

Now, don't panic!

We're safe here, we're just gonna

sit tight...

until Levi gets back with the cops.

You don't understand!

Avery Lauder is trying to complete

the immortality ritual...

that was interrupted two years ago...

and he needs a physical medium to do it.

You are not safe as long

as I am in this house!

Fine.

It's OK, Felix,

we'll get you to a hospital,

I promise, I promise!

Here, as long as you got that,

you're safe.

This has never actually

been tested before!

What?

Is that true?

That's why this haunting was

so important to me!

If my vacuum works...

it'll be the most

important accomplishment...

in the history of parapsychology!

And if it doesn't,

we're all ghost-toasties, right?

Mr. Vincente, the urn is gone.

What?

The urn with Avery Lauder's ashes,

it's missing.

Elwin must have taken it.

So what?

It's necessary for Avery Lauder's

reincarnation.

His soul must be physically

reunited with his remains.

You're all in danger

unless I leave right now!

Whitney, that is a lot

of religious mumbo-jumbo.

Look, Doctor, up until now...

it's been your show and you blew it...

so I say we give the

religious mumbo-jumbo a shot...

'cause I gotta tell ya, Doc, right now...

I'm willing to swing a dead chicken

over my head...

and howl at the f***in' moon!

So how do we stop this reincarnation

thing from happening?

It's only a legend!

How?

Supposedly, if you find

Lauder's missing heart...

and rejoin it with the rest of his remains...

then the soul will finally be laid to rest.

OK, I got a good idea

where the heart is.

We just gotta find the urn.

Where's Whitney?

What?

Oh, sh*t!

All right,

I'm gonna go after her.

Elwin shows up, you give him

a lobotomy with this.

You understand,

you know how to use it?

I pull this little thingy here...

and the bullet comes out here.

You can always throw it at him.

Agnes, I, I think

we should try another sitting.

What?

Maybe you can trick Lauder's ghost...

into telling you where the urn is...

and even if you can't,

I may be able to get a feeling for it...

while he's speaking through me.

No, Felix, I'm frightened!

So am I, but I don't see that

we have any other choice.

Whitney!

Whitney!

Whitney!

Shh, Shh, Shh!

It's OK, Shh!

Come on, this way.

So, do you still feel strong enough

to defeat me?

Yes, because now I know

where your heart is.

In the wall of the basement

behind the pentagram.

Very good...

but you have discovered my secret

too late.

Where is the urn with your ashes?

You cannot prevent what is meant to be.

You're already beaten, Lauder.

The physical medium

has left the grounds...

and you're powerless without her!

What, no!

That's impossible, you lie!

And the mental medium

you now speak through...

will know where your ashes are...

just as he knew where your heart was!

No, no, no!

Yes, yes, and he'll tell me...

and I'll finally destroy you,

you unholy son of a b*tch!

No, the medium will tell you nothing!

Nothing!

- Felix!

Felix, Felix!

Oh, sh*t, what's the car doing here?

Oh, God!

That son of a b*tch, Elwin!

I'll blow his f***in' brains out!

Don't you understand?

Elwin didn't do this, Avery Lauder did!

Either way, Levi's just as dead!

Look, it's up to you now.

You have to go for the police!

No, come with me.

I can't, I can't leave the Doctor

and her husband alone...

and he's in no condition to travel!

Please, you have to go alone.

OK, OK, you're right.

I'll hurry back.

Good girl, get in the car.

I'll get the gate.

Sh*t.

Get the hell outta here!

OK.

Hey!

It's all right,

it's all right, he's dead.

Say good night, Gracie.

You OK?

He was spawn of the devil!

He was a tough motherf***er,

I'll give you that.

Believe what you want,

but I know he was a demon.

Whatever he was,

he's lunch meat now.

Get the hell outta here!

Dr. Goldberg, are you all right?

He's dead, Felix is dead.

Yeah, well, there's been a lot of that...

goin' around lately.

C'mon, we gotta get the hell outta here.

No, that bastard murdered my husband...

and I am not leaving until I destroy him!

Great, suddenly she's Conehead.

Uh-uh, wait, I'll trade you.

You didn't have to bring this, you know.

We're not in any danger anymore.

With Whitney gone,

Lauder's ghost can no longer...

physically manifest itself in our world.

I just watched our friend Elwin...

take more lead than a number two pencil...

so you'll excuse me if I play it safe.

OK, Lauder, you son of a b*tch!

I gotcha now!

That's it, Avery Lauder's heart.

Shh.

Oh, thank God!

Sh*t!

O'Shea, what are you doin' here?

Did you bring the cops?

Oh, my God,

it was all just an illusion!

Lauder tricked me,

I never even left the grounds!

Give her the vacuum.

It's too late,

Lauder's ghost is coming through!

What do we do?

I don't know!

You're supposed to be the expert!

Look out!

No!

What happened, is it over?

Yeah, I trapped him in this.

Looks like Dr. Goldberg

was right after all, huh?

No, it's not gonna hold him.

What?

I can feel him in there,

struggling to get out.

It's not gonna hold him,

he is too powerful.

All right, that's it.

We're gettin' the hell outta here!
