(pouring rain)
Jesus Christ, it gets worse all the time.
Yeah, the job doesn't get any better.
All shot in their beds, execution-style.
Only the mother shot in the head.
What time you make it? Gimme a ballpark guess.
Three. Three fifteen.
And that's pretty close.
Thanks.
How long have you been waiting?
- Half an hour. - A couple of minutes.
Over there, that's a little gardening hut.
- You mean that's included? - Sure. lt could be a guesthouse.
- A guesthouse? - Sure.
Come on. Right up here.
See how much property you have? lsn't that lovely?
Be careful, don't trip.
You'll see what a beauty this is.
There's nothing like it on the market. Not at this price.
- Come in. - Thank you.
- lmpressive, isn't it? - Mm.
l mean, that's what l call charming.
- Come on. l'll show you the living room. - Thank you.
That's a wood-burning fireplace. Be nice on cold nights.
That's the sun porch. Nice, isn't it?
- (whispers) George, l don't think... - Be cool.
- Would you like to see the kitchen? - Yes. Thank you.
This is the kitchen. Nice and spacious, isn't it? Really big.
Has all the original hardware and everything works.
This your first house?
We just got married.
(agent) Shall we look at the upstairs?
l like to refer to this as a fixer-upper. That can be fun.
We can start with this.
Now, this is an extra room.
This is the bathroom, connecting with the next bedroom.
This is the second bedroom.
There's a nice view of the river from here.
lf you're planning on a big family, there are three bedrooms.
We already have a family. Two boys and a girl. Great kids.
Oh...
- You are so bad! - What?
Cut it out.
Next is the master bedroom.
(George's wife) l love it!
There's just one more floor.
- See anything you like,... - (gunshot)
- ..we can include it in the price. - Really?
Sure.
This can be another bedroom. Or a playroom, whichever you prefer.
Tell you what. l think we'll wander round on our own again now we got the layout.
We can meet you downstairs.
- How'd that be? - l'll be in the kitchen. Take your time.
We won't be long.
- What do you think? - l love it.
But, honey...
$80,000?
lt might as well be $800,000.
Well... now, listen.
- The house is worth 1 20,000 easy. - Mm-hm.
lf l move my office into that little cottage out back, that'll save that rent.
The boathouse means l won't have to pay for mooring charges -
which they're raising, by the way.
- You didn't tell me that. - There was nothin' to be done about it.
l just wish that... all those people hadn't died here.
l mean... ugh! A guy kills his whole family. Doesn't that bother you?
Sure, but... houses don't have memories.
l don't know.
l do. The house wouldn't even be for sale and if it was we couldn't afford it...
..if we had tuna casseroles for a year.
You're gonna be very happy. lt's a wonderful house.
l'm sure they'll accept your offer. Don't worry, l'll handle the details.
Just go on and get ready to move.
(Iaughter)
They're not getting too close to the river?
Uh-uh. Sounds like a regular daddy l hear over there.
l might feel like one if that's what they started calling me instead of George.
Which l gotta admit is better than all that ''Mr Lutz'' crap they were giving me.
- What do you wanna do with this? - Oh. Uh...
l know. Put it in the living room on that wall by the bookshelf.
The light'll come through the window. lt'll look beautiful.
You got it.
Voilâ!
Come on.
(hammering)
(George's wife) l hate this sticky paper.
l wish l'd listened to my mother and got the old-fashioned kind.
Nobody likes a quitter.
But l got an idea.
Get a couple of beers and go outside and play?
What are those monsters up to?
(knocking)
Hello?
Anybody home?
Hello!
George!
Kathy! Anybody home?
Hello?
(chiIdren's Iaughter)
(buzzing)
God's peace in this house.
(coughs)
(buzzing intensifies)
(coughs)
(buzzing stops)
(voice) Out.
Get out!
(retches)
(Kathy) Amy! Honey, dinner's ready.
(Kathy) Amy!
l've got her. You and the boys start. l'll take her upstairs and put her to bed.
She wasn't outside! Where was she?
Up you get and in there and eat your hot dogs! Come on.
(coughs)
(phone rings)
- Hello. - Hello... (spIutters)
- Hello, Kathy? - (static )
Kathy, can you hear me? Kathy!
Father Delaney. There's something very impor...
- Hello! Hello! - (Iine goes dead)
(coughs)
(Kathy hums)
- Who was that? - On the phone?
- Yeah. - Just a bunch of static. A bad connection.
l think Ma Bell's gone wacko again.
Probably discover it was a collect call from Japan when the next bill comes.
Did you make sure that Amy's got her doll with her?
Yeah, she's sleeping with it.
Are you hungry, honey?
You don't want one of those char-broiled hot dogs l did especially for you?
No, l'm not hungry.
Damn, it's cold in here.
l felt cold a bit earlier, but l think l've warmed up now.
Says 72. Feels like 32.
You know what l think? l think there's a draught...
..that comes up from the basement through that door down there.
This house is supposed to be insulated. They'll nickel-and-dime you to death.
Matt?
- You all right? - Yeah.
- Did you hurt yourself? - No.
Those stairs are tricky. Come on.
l'll take you upstairs. We'll check this all out tomorrow.
(startIed cry)
l'm sorry, baby. l didn't mean to scare you.
l look at you all the time. l can't get used to you.
Who loves you?
l'm lucky.
- Come here. - l just wanted to clean up first.
l love the way you smell right now.
(whispers) l love you.
(whispers) l love you back.
You make me feel like a kid in the back seat of a car.
(Kathy chuckIes)
l want us to work. l wanna be the best. l don't want you to have any regrets.
(whispers) l love you, Kathy.
(door creaks)
l wanna go home.
- Mommy, l wanna go home. - Oh, honey, come on.
Back to bed.
This is our home. Don't you know that?
There you go, sweetie. What's the matter? Mean dreams?
Sleep tight.
lt's not so easy, is it?
Well, l guess people have had to deal with this...
..ever since Adam and Eve got kicked out of the garden.
Just have to learn to live with it. Hm?
Thank you.
You're one helluva watchdog(!)
Come on, boy.
What do you say, Harry? Looks OK.
(yowIing)
George!
- (Kathy giggIes) - Don't ever do that.
Not to a man with an axe in his hand.
l just thought maybe l could get a little help.
- Look what you made me do. - I made you do?
There's a week's worth of groceries rolling down the walk.
Wait a minute till l finish this stuff.
George, finish? You have got enough wood here to heat the whole South Shore!
You take this. l'll get the rest.
l love you.
Broke a bulb.
Who drinks this fancy tea around here?
That's for Aunt Helena. She's coming by around two.
- Gimme a break. - Come on, George. Be nice.
This is a big event in my family.
We've always been renters. lt's the first time anyone's bought a house.
Damn regimental inspection and we're not ready.
(unearthIy wind)
Aagh!
Sweetie-pie, you scared me. What do you want?
My friend Jody wants to play upstairs.
Huh, Jody? See?
Mm-hm. Well, you and Jody go on up and enjoy yourselves.
Does your friend Jody like sugar cookies, too?
- l don't think so. - No?
Off you go.
(diaIIing number)
(phone rings)
This is Kathy Lutz. CouId I speak with Father DeIaney?
l'm sorry. The father's not feeling very well today.
He's asleep right now. This is Father Bolen. May l help you in any way?
Oh, Father Bolen. Um...
He was supposed to bless the house yesterday, but it can wait till he's better.
- l hope he's not too sick. - l think it's just one of those flu things.
But, Mrs Lutz, the father was at your house yesterday.
Uh-uh. We were expecting him but he never showed up.
- l know he left to go there. - He didn't come. We waited aII day.
Must have been a mix-up.
Oh, well. No big deal. Just tell him ''hi'' and that we hope he's feeling better.
l sure will. Thank you for calling.
l'll go check Amy's bathroom.
(boy) Oh boy, does it stink!
(doorbeII)
Kathy!
Go and let Aunt Helena in, and don't tell her anything about this.
- Do we have to? She's always pinching! - Yes, you have to! Go now. Go on.
- (cry of protest) - And be polite!
Well, hello, Matthew!
And Gregory! And Harry!
- Where's your mother, dear? - She said she'd be down in a minute.
(chandeIier tinkIes)
(cries out)
- Aunt Helena? - Kathleen!
l'm sorry. l must have set it too near the edge.
l have to go.
- l don't understand. - l don't feel well at all.
Look. l've brought your favourite tea, and l'll make you a cup.
l have to go. l really feel terrible.
- lf you just rested a while... - l can't stay!
- Please stay. - l can't stay! l don't feel well.
lf you just rest and...
l can't stay. Forgive me.
George, please make her st...
(retches)
(♪ harpsichord music on stereo)
Hey.
- Aren't you gonna come to bed? - ln a minute.
The fire went out.
Are you still cold?
Hope you're not comin' down with somethin'.
l'll be all right. l gotta stay healthy for your brother's wedding.
Your hair's gettin' long.
You know what? Maybe you should sleep in tomorrow.
l got work to do. l don't wanna be up to my ass in boxes for ever.
(George) l'm sorry.
l don't know what the hell's the matter with me.
- Silly. This happens all the time. - Not to me it doesn't.
Hey, stop pushin'. You don't have to prove anything to me.
(whispers) Turn out the light.
Turn out the light.
- (Kathy) l love you. - (George) l love you back.
(screams)
She was shot in the head!
(gasps)
Are you all right?
Tell me something, Father.
What?
Why couldn't this wait till tomorrow?
l don't know.
All l know is l have to get back to that house.
- Are you feelin' all right, Father? - l'm fine, l'm fine.
Father! There's something wrong with the steering wheel.
l can't move the wheel!
(car horns)
What's wrong with it?
(car horn stuck)
(buzzing)
(dog barks)
Harry, be quiet!
Be quiet!
Kathy!
Will you check this? l need 1 500 bucks for the caterer. The sucker wants cash.
Jimmy, will you relax? You've counted it about a thousand times.
Sure do look terrific.
You're not gonna start to cry already?
lt's just that yesterday l was riding you around on the back of my bike,...
- ..and now you're getting married. - Sure am.
l'm just real happy for you, that's all.
Hey, there he is!
- George, you look terrible. - So she keeps tellin' me.
lt's just some flu virus going around. Amy's got it, too. lt's nothin'.
Listen, if you're not up to it, l'd understand.
Hey, l'm your best man.
- Come on. Let's go. - OK!
Mrs Lutz, am l supposed to give Amy an aspirin or anything?
Just give her one before bed, OK?
- Are you gonna be OK? - l dunno.
- (George) What's the matter? - The money.
- What money? - The money for the caterer. 1 500 dollars!
- l put it in this pocket! - lt must have fallen out.
Well, it's not here.
l'll look under here.
Have you checked your pants?
Calm down, Jimmy. lt can't have gotten up and walked away.
- lf you had it here, it's gotta be here. - What am l gonna do?
l can't believe it!
(car horn)
Will you get those kids off that horn?
Jimmy, George, we have to go. We're getting very late.
(Jimmy) What am l gonna do?
lt's gotta be here someplace. We'll just look for it when we get home.
What about the caterer?
l'll take care of him. l'll write him a cheque.
Oh, sweetie.
OK?
l'll get the kids.
lt's freezing in here!
lt's time for bed, Amy. l gotta give you an aspirin.
l don't wanna go to bed. l wanna play with Jody.
Your mom said l had to put you to bed early because you've been sick.
- Now don't smart off to me. - l wasn't sick. l just didn't like meat loaf.
Let's get you into your pyjamas.
Amy! Open the door.
Amy!
l'm in the closet. Open the door!
(raps door)
Amy, l mean it!
Amy! Come to the door. Open it!
Amy, for Christ's sake, open the door!
Amy! Amy!
(waiIs) Amy!
Do you hear me?
Open...
Amy, open the door!
Amy!
Amy, open the door!
Amy! For Christ's sake, open the door!
(screams) Amy!
(♪ band pIays)
- Kathleen. - How are you?
- Are you feeling better? - Fine.
l want to apologise for the other day. l don't know what happened.
l hadn't gone half a block from your house and l was violently ill.
l think there's a virus going round. Father Delaney's got something.
Amy's got something and... l don't know what's the matter with George.
Ah.
Listen, l'll talk to you later, OK?
l'm gonna write you a cheque.
Look, the deal was cash. You know, cash.
The cash was lost. You gotta take a cheque.
l don't like cheques. Let me tell you somethin' about cheques.
Cheques gets cancelled. Cheques bounce.
Cheques is not cash. Cash is cash.
You listen to me, pal.
l don't like lectures.
And l don't like being hassled in the men's room.
l'm gonna write you a cheque.
Either that's good enough for you, or you eat your own goddamn food.
Look at this. l want cash and they're givin' me cheques.
- Are you all right, honey? - l don't think l can last the reception.
- Let's get the kids and split, huh? - l'll get the kids. You take it easy.
- Matt, run upstairs and right to bed. - Why? l'm not even tired.
- You are so tired. - l am not!
- You're tired cos l said you're tired. - Huh!
Hey, cut that out! l'll bring you up some milk and cookies.
(moans) Let me out.
(baby-sitter sobs)
- Amy! Amy, are you OK? - (baby-sitter) Let me out!
Jackie?
- (Kathy) Oh, my God. - l couldn't get out.
- The door locked and l couldn't get out. - There's no lock on this door.
- lt wouldn't open. - Take a look.
Look, see?
lt wouldn't open!
- Why didn't you open the door? - Jackie!
Why didn't you unlock the door? You heard Jackie knocking.
Jody wouldn't let me.
- Jody? Who's Jody? - She's my friend. She plays with me.
Jesus Christ. What are we standing here listening to?
And weren't you told to go to bed?
Go on! Get outta here!
These kids of yours need some goddamn discipline.
- Let me see. l'll get something for them. - George yelled at me.
Well, you should have opened the door!
Jody doesn't like George.
(yeIIs) Where the hell is it?
(man) There's an explanation for all of it.
We're not in the habit of blaming Satan for everything.
Neither am l, Father.
For a Modernist who thought Vatican ll didn't go far enough,...
..don't you think you sound a little medieval?
My being a Modernist has nothing to do with it.
l checked into the 20-year-old boy who killed his parents, brothers and sisters.
When he was at trial, he testified that he heard voices in the house,...
..and the voices told him to do it!
l was in the house and l heard them, too! And l also felt the presence!
l'm telling you, there was a presence in that house!
Half the killers in this country say the same thing.
The voices. The voices told me to do it.
But l heard them, Father! l heard voices!
Then explain this - explain my hand, if you can do that.
Go on! Explain how the car went out of control.
Father Bolen was with me. You tell him.
Well, the wheel locked and then the...
''The wheel locked.'' How about a mechanical defect?
l'd blame Detroit a lot faster than the Devil.
lt seems like every month there's some kind of recall.
Oh.
l see.
We're just gonna walk away from it.
Has that become the fashion now? To cover up?
- Nothing to walk away from. - l think it's nonsense!
- There's nothing to cover up. - l think it's bureaucratical bullshit!
What do you think l am?
l am not some pink-cheeked seminarian...
..who doesn't know the difference between the supernatural and a bad clam!
l am a trained psychotherapist!
l went into that house, and what l saw there was real,...
..what l felt there was real, and what l heard there was real!
Now, gentlemen, l have a family in my parish that's at great risk!
They're facing real danger.
Who the hell do you think you are?
You think your secular education gives you the right to question the Church?
Sit down!
Sit!
You haven't told us one thing that can't be written off as simple hysteria.
Even psychotherapists lose touch with reality sometimes.
Your education doesn't give you any immunity.
Father Nuncio and l have seen our share of phenomena,...
..and never once did any of them turn out to be Satanist!
Let's understand each other, Father.
To me,...
..the Church... it's my home.
The Church is my strength.
And l need her now.
And that family needs her...
..now.
Frank, how long has it been since you've seen your family?
- What do you mean? - We think you should take a vacation.
Morning, Father.
Good day, Father.
You could do with a haircut and shave.
- What do you think? - Very uptown.
- l thought you guys had a smaII business. - We do. Gettin' smaller all the time.
- What's the matter? - (bIade being sharpened)
l don't wanna go any closer.
Carolyn, what are you talkin' about?
lt gives me the creeps.
(bIade is sharpened)
Hiya, George. How's it goin'?
Listen, l... l wouldn't have come out and bothered you, but your line's always busy.
Nobody's seen you for days.
You haven't even been in to sign the payroll cheques.
l did us both a favour and brought them along. Here.
- Christ, what day is this? - Thursday.
Thursday?
Thursday.
l promised the men l'd hand-deliver these.
Should have been paid yesterday.
Some caterer's been screaming that you wrote him a cheque that bounced.
- l should have covered that. - And a guy from the lRS has been calling.
Don't you have any good news?
Yeah. l, uh... l brought you the spotlight for your boat.
Oh.
Come on. l'll put it on for you.
You girls think l don't know what you're up to? Well, l do.
And if l ever catch you again, you're gonna be in big trouble.
You girls hear me? Janet! You listening?
Don't be a smart ass.
You quit that! Stop teasing me!
Hey!
What are you two rascals doing in my room?
(screams)
(screaming)
Goddamn thing feels like it's nailed shut.
Push! Can't you push?
Hold it up.
- l'll drive, honey. - Amazing.
- What? - Not one broken bone.
(thundercIap)
(whispers) George, are you awake?
lsn't it kinda strange that none of the bones were broken in Greg's hand?
George, l have to talk to you.
(buzzing)
- What's was that? - You stay up here.
Like hell!
Goddamn it, don't sneak up on me.
You call the police. l'm gonna go check on something.
lt's OK, sweetie.
Hey, sarge. What brings you out?
lnsomnia.
- Whaddaya got? - Beats the hell outta me.
- Whaddaya got? - This is Mrs Lutz, Sergeant.
Mrs Lutz.
And George Lutz.
- ls that L-U-T-Z-E? - No E.
The basement door's the same as the front.
- Well, where's the basement? - Come on, l'll show ya.
(dog whimpers)
Hey, who let you in? What are you doin' here, boy?
No broken windows.
- How long you been livin' here? - Couple of weeks.
Are you related to the family that was here before?
Uh-uh.
You look a lot like them. The kid had the same...
Harry, knock it off!
(growIs)
Have you had any trouble with vandals or trespassers?
What's that supposed to mean?
Well...
You've got a door that was broken outward, Mr Lutz, from the inside.
Burglars break in. You've got a front door that's broken out.
Let me tell you something.
Somebody broke into my house. They heard me coming, and they took off.
OK. Then who broke the basement door?
Maybe they came in through the cellar and... then ran out the front door.
No. l checked the windows down there. None broken.
You think it was faster to break it down than to open it, huh?
There'll be a tighter watch on your house.
You call us if anything happens, OK?
Good night. Good night.
'Night.
(sobs)
Why is it all going wrong?
We have to do something.
- Jody says everything's gonna get better. - Mm-hm. What does Jody look like?
l mean, is Jody big or thin? Fat or...?
- She's nice. - Mm-hm.
- She tells me things, too. - Yeah? What does she tell you?
She tells me about the little boy who used to live in my room.
He got hurt. And he died.
What else does Jody tell you?
She says she wants me to live here for ever and ever...
..so we can all play together.
Goodbye, sweeties. Be home by three thirty, OK?
Be careful.
(whispering)
(ringing tone)
Oh, answer!
(phone rings)
Please, answer!
- Hello. - This is Kathy Lutz. l have to talk to you.
Kathy. Listen to what l'm telling you.

Father? Father!
Father!
(gasps)
O Lord, hear my prayer...
..and hasten to answer me.
(unearthIy wind)

Hello.
Everybody wanted to come over to welcome you to the neighbourhood.
lt's all right, isn't it?
(phone rings)
Just a minute, please.
- Hello. - (static )
- Hello? - (Iine goes dead)
George!
Thanks for comin'. Thought l might be stood up.
Don't gimme any crap. l don't have time for it.
George! Relax, will ya? l just wanna buy you a drink.
- A coupla beers, please. - Gotcha.
George, are you all right? You look terrible.
Here you are, pal.
Jesus, l'm sorry. You look just like that kid.
He was sittin' in that seat when he was arrested.
What the hell are you talkin' about?
The kid last year that killed his family. The house down by the river?
- You're the spittin' image. - So?
So l'll... bring you another brew. No offence, huh?
- l gotta get outta here. l'll talk to you later. - No, George, now. We gotta talk now.
The business is falling apart. Bills have to be paid.
l know you're unpackin', but life goes on.
Don't push me, Jeff, l'm warnin' you...
You're warnin' me? Gimme a break, will ya? Talk to me!
- l told you you were takin' on too much. - Just drop it, Jeff.
You marry a dame with three kids, buy a house with mortgages up to your ass.
You change your religion and you forget about business. Great.
OK. Now can we talk?
Christ, man, l'm sorry. l don't know what l was thinkin'.

- Who are you singin' to, Princess? - You scared Jody!
Jody? There's no one here, see?
You scared her. She went out the window.
She went out the window? Well, l'd better check and make sure she's not still there.
The house. lt's doin' things.
Windows open by themselves.
Rooms full of flies at the wrong time of year.
You saw what happened to Greg's hand.
lt's crazy.
And last night, the front door was ripped off its hinges. From the inside.
Of course! lt's right here. lt's history.
- John Ketchum. - (Jeff) So?
Listen. They ran him out of Salem for being a witch.
He built his house exactly where you're living.
You're living on some sort of special ground that...
Devil worship. Death. Sacrifice.
George... there's one simple rule.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed. lt can only change forms.
Carolyn, get a grip on yourself. You sound like some psycho weirdo!
Come on, Jeffrey! Don't be such a big hardcore rationalist.
Everything cannot be explained by a slide rule.
Thank you for your cosmic views. Now do me a favour. Shut up!
Can l make a rational suggestion, please?
Sure, man. Anything.
Go home. Get cleaned up.
Take Kathy out to dinner.
Carolyn and l will baby-sit the kids.
You gotta get away from it - even if it's for a couple of hours.
When you get back, we'll add it all up.
We'll talk this thing through.
OK.
Let's go home.
l'll go in and talk to Kathy. You all come on in in a couple of minutes.
Hey! Hey!
Hey!
He told us to wait out here.
Jeff... l gotta see it for myself.
l thought that place gave you the creeps.
Are those vibes ever strong!
lt really pulls on you.
l gotta see the basement. That's where it's coming from.
l'm very sensitive about these things. And l know about them.
Come on. Knock it off, will ya?
What l saw was not a cat!
lt could have climbed up the ivy. lt's all over the side of the damn house.
Look, Kathy, l don't have all the answers yet.
We gotta get some perspective on this thing.
Come on. Let's take Jeff's offer. Put yourself together.
Let's get the hell away from it for a couple of hours.
We'll get dressed...
l just gotta check the fire first.
(whispers) Demons are smart!
They're not just monsters.
They think, just like you and l do. Just in reverse, you know?
lt's a closed system.
Now you're beginning to give me the creeps.
There was a tribe called the Shinnecocks.
They used this land as a sort of exposure pen.
They put all the crazy people here. They left 'em here to die.
(dog whines)
- My God! - That's where it is.
What the hell are you talkin' about?
There are people buried here.
(Jeff) Easy. Easy.
Easy, Harry.
(♪ music box pIays)
What the hell are you doin'?
- What is the matter with you? - Don't you understand?
lt has to be done. That is where the room is!
- What are you doing to my house? - George, l'm sorry.
l'm trying to tell him - that's where it is.
She's right.
She's right. There is something here.
Gimme that.
What's going on? Have you all gone mad?
George!
They... come and go through here.

(whimpers)
(growIs)
George, you heard that voice. You know whose voice that was.
You heard it. l know you heard it!
We have to do something, George. We have to do something now.
Peace to this house and all who enter here.
(Kathy) Forgive our sins, and save us from all illness.
Grant this through Jesus Christ our Lord.
What is going on here?
Weird people.
Bless this house and all who enter here.
Bless this house...
What... what's happening?
(Kathy sobs)
Kathy! Kathy!
- Kathy? - Stop! Don't touch me!
(sobs) Leave me alone, please.
Please.
(church beIIs ring)
(Father BoIen) Since l've come back from Vietnam, you've influenced me hugely.
l look up to you. l respect you. l admire you.
And what is your point?
Well, l believe that... that l know about fear.
l've seen it. l've experienced it.
Richard, l wish you'd make your point because l've got a lot to do.
My point is, Father, that l believe we create our own demons in our own minds.
l'm sorry, Father.
ln the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit,...
..let us pray.
Father,...
..by the power of your spirit...
..you have filled the hearts of your faithful people...
..with gifts of love for one another.
Hear the prayers that we offer for our relatives and friends.
Give them health.
Give them health of mind and body.
(cracking)
Give them health of mind and body that they may do your will with perfect love.
Give them health of mind and body that they may do your will with perfect love!
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son!
Give them strength of mind and body, O Lord, l beg thee!
Give them strength in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son!
O Lord!
O Jesus Christ!
(screams and sobs)
Richard.
What is it, Father?
l can't see.
l'm blind!
(soIemn drumbeat)
(Iouder drumbeat)
(drumming stops)
What do you want from us?
Goddamn it, this is my house!
(thunder)
No!
No! No! No!
No!
No...
Oh, no.
l'm coming apart! Oh, mother of God, l'm coming apart!
George!
George! What hap...
l was... just dreaming.
l'm sorry if l woke you.
Honey, are you OK?
- Oh, sure. - Are you sure?
Oh, my God. What happened to your foot?
Look.
Nothing. l just tripped.
- Looks like teeth marks. - (voice distorts) Will you stop nagging?
lt's always so cold in here.
Let's get out of here, huh? Let's just pack up our stuff and go.
Would you please leave that damn fire alone and listen to me?
l'm not going anywhere. You wanted a house. This is it, so just shut up!
You... bastard.
(Kathy cries out)
(Kathy sobs)
Excuse me, somebody told me you could tell me where...
Excuse me! Someone told me that you could...
l'm sorry. l'm Kathy Lutz. l'm looking for Father Delaney.
Oh.
Hi, l'm Father Bolen.
l believe the father has gone on vacation. He's been very overworked...
l must speak to Father Delaney. l simply must.
You don't understand. He's more than a priest to me. He's like a friend of mine.
He's helped me through some difficult times in my life. l have to talk to him now.
lt's out of my hands.
Hello, Father.
How are you feeling today?
l brought you some mail. Would you like me to read it?
l notice there's one from a former patient. Would you like to hear it?
lt certainly is beautiful here.
Why don't l arrange so we can have our lunch here?
Would you like that, Father?
Excuse me, Father. Can l have a word with you?
Of course, Sergeant. What can l do for you?
Well, l don't really know exactly.
lt may be just a wild-goose chase, but l'm the curious type.
Like the man says, it goes with the territory.
l have a great deal of work to do. Could you make your point, please?
l'd like to know what's happening to Father Delaney.
He's an old friend, and l can't get the story right.
There is no story to get right.
Maybe l am just chasing shadows.
Could you excuse me, please.
l think this has all the good stuff. l mean, the major coverage.
- ls there anything else that you need? - No, l think this should be fine.
This is the November 1 4th issue. That's the day after the murders.
- That crank over there... - That one there?
- Right there. lt advances the film. - OK.
Each frame is a whole page.
- To get it in focus, you just turn this knob. - OK, l've got it.
- OK? You all set now? - l'm fine.
My God. George!

Amy!
Amy? Amy!
(yeIIing)
Don't hurt my babies!
Kathy?
l... l saw your picture in the newspaper.
Kathy, l wouldn't hurt you.
(thundercIaps)
- (Kathy screams) - Get going. Get out!
Oh, God!
Hold on!
Go! Run!
(screams)
- Here, let me try. - l got it.
Open it!
(Amy waiIs)
Go, go!
Mom!
The keys. They're gone. Where are the keys?
Wait a minute.
l can't find them.
Here they are.
- l want Harry. - Please, George. Drive.
Mom?
(tyres screech)
George! No!
No!
Harry! Come on, boy!
Harry!
Harry, come on! Harry!
(cries out)
(growIs)
No, it's me!
Harry, no!
Harry!
Pull, Harry. Pull.
Harry!
Harry! Pull!
Good boy.
Harry! Come on, boy.
Come on! Come on, boy.
Thank God.
