(upbeat synthesizer music)

(wind whistling)

[Boy] My grandfather told me it was the scariest thing

that ever happened in this town.

Now they say the house is haunted.

- Give me a break. - Well if you don't

believe me, go inside.

- Get bent. - What's the matter?

You chicken? (mimics chicken clucking)

[Billy] All right, I'll go in.

I'll show you guys who's chicken.

(crickets chirping)

(pages fluttering)

[Jennifer] Tyler.

Tyler.

Come to me, Tyler. Come to me.

I love you, Tyler.

(stairs creaking)

Here I am, Tyler.

(suspenseful music)

Here I am.

Kiss me, Tyler. Kiss me.

(Billy breathes heavily)

No, no! House, the house!

(ominous music)

(Rosemary gasping)

(Rosemary screaming)

(machinery beeping)

From what we know, Billy and his friends

were just playing a game.

Anyway, Billy and the boys decided to go up to the house

and from what we can get,

they dared Billy to find a way in

and go all the way to the top.

You see, Doctor, Welles is a recluse for the most part.

And all the young ones thought the house is haunted.

Especially after he had died.

All they knew is they saw Billy running down the driveway

towards them and he collapsed when he reached 'em.

[Doctor] But does anybody know for sure

if he got into the house?

[Man] No, they only knew that Billy left

to try to find a way in.

The next time they saw him, he was running.

"To the sisters of Trinity Academy,

I bequeath my entire physical estate

included in which are the grounds and the mansion,

valued at three and a half million dollars.

The contents of the mansion should have a value

in excess of $500,000 and added to this,

my lifetime collection of arts and antiques

which are valued at approximately $5 million.

These may be kept by the Trinity order

or sold privately or at public auction,

whichever would be most beneficial to the sisters."

(indistinct chattering)

I don't know about the rest of you,

but Mark and I had an outrageous weekend.

What she means is that she spent the entire weekend

in the backseat of Mark's car.

And no doubt getting high.

Oh God, you'd have to be high just be with Mark.

Come on you guys, give Elizabeth a break.

She seems much more excited than usual.

I think she has something to tell us.

Well at least somebody here cares about the biggest thing

to happen in my life. - It's beautiful!

- Oh, let me see! - Thank you, thank you.

Oh, Elizabeth, I'm so happy for you!

I knew it was just a matter of time

before he gave it to you.

- Thanks, Jackie. - Beautiful.

(bell rings)

- Oh! - Well, time to go.

(indistinct chattering)

Hi, guys. What's new?

(wrapper crinkling)

[Woman] Thank you.

Gross, Mary, I thought we made an agreement

not to eat your lunch before nine.

Jackie, I swear, I was good all weekend

but I just couldn't help myself this morning.

That's okay.

Try to be a little bit more careful next time.

Mm.

Hey, did anybody get that ninth problem in physics?

You'd have to be an asshole not to.

So what's your excuse?

Here, Karen, take a look at mine

and see if it will help you.

(bell ringing) I had a tough time

with that one myself. - Oh, thanks, Jack.

Good morning, girls.

- Good morning, Sister. - Good morning, Sister.

I hope you've all had an enjoyable weekend.

Before we get started,

I have a note from the principal's office.

"Please send the following girls

to my office at 3:00 PM today.

Elizabeth Clark, (girls chuckles)

Karen Turner,

Adelle Thompson, (Adele sighs)

Kate Benny," - You too.

- "Jackie O'Neil," - What'd you guys do?

"Susan Anderson, (girls giggling)

Rosemary Hikovski."

All of us.

Why did they do this to you at 8:30 in the morning

And make you wait all day?

What the hell do you think it could be?

Maybe somebody saw us drinking

outside of the dance last week.

No, they wouldn't have waited this long if it was that.

Well it's not gonna do us any good to worry about it now.

It's probably nothing bad.

Jackie, I swear, you wouldn't say shit

if you had a mouthful. - People.

(girls giggling) Girls!

(indistinct chattering)

Good afternoon, girls.

[All] Good afternoon, Sister.

You're here today

because each of you is the best example

of how we like to think the students

at Trinity College will turn out.

Your efforts in academics and conduct

should not go unrewarded.

One month from today, the entire Welles estate

will be sold at public auction.

Before this can happen, the entire Welles estate

must be carefully cataloged against existing records.

Now all of you represent the last group

to receive the Tyler Welles Award for Academic Achievement.

Mother Superior and I thought

it would be a fitting gesture on behalf of the college

if you as a group would spend four days

cataloging Tyler Welles lifetime collection of art.

Just so happens that after the award ceremonies

last semester, Mr. Welles extended an invitation

for all of you to spend a weekend at his estate.

(ominous music) - Jennifer.

(crowd applauding)

I'm sure you'll take this working holiday

in a serious manner.

And I look forward to hearing Sister Urban's report

on your return.

(crickets chirping)

(upbeat rock music)

Uh-huh. Yeah.

Of course I'm going to miss you.

I'll dread every minute without you.

I even slept with your ring on.

Now don't you be looking at any other girl while I'm gone.

(sighs) And don't smoke any of that good stuff without me.

Gee, Jackie, these brownies are terrific.

I didn't know you could cook.

I can't. My mom made them.

Now stop avoiding my question.

What are you going to do this weekend without me?

Just hang out with the guys.

- With the guys? - Well I sure as hell

can't help it if some of them bring girls along.

I mean, not everyone's going to Welles estate

for the weekend. - Well you just make sure

that Mary Duffy doesn't get close to you.

Mary Duffy? Is that what's bothering you?

You know damn well that's what's bothering me.

She's just been waiting for the chance to get you alone.

What am I gonna do without you there to protect me?

What if she traps me in the backseat of the car?

Oh, Jackie please give me the number

of the rape crisis center.

Very funny, but if I hear any stories when I get back,

you're gonna need an intensive care unit,

not a rape crisis center.

Take it easy.

You know you're the only one I'm gonna be thinking of.

Yeah, you may think of me, but you look at her rear end.

(scoffs) I was only comparing it to yours.

Yeah? And who won?

The special girl I'm holding in my hands.

By unanimous decision. (Jackie chuckles)

(crickets chirping)

(indistinct chattering)

- Get in. - Come on, hurry.

Come on!

(ominous music) (girls cheering)

(girls cheering)

Oh, my God! This place.

(indistinct chattering)

I love it.

(indistinct chattering)

I can't wait to get in here.

- Bye, girls. - Bye, thank you!

(birds chirping)

(ominous music)

I can't believe this place.

It's something right out of a mystery novel.

What a great place for a murder.

I can't imagine living here by yourself.

Can you imagine having a party here?

We should have our dinner dance here before they sell it.

I know let's check the whole place out.

(indistinct chattering)

You girls aren't checking anything out

until you help this poor child with your luggage.

Yes, Sister.

Sorry, this is mine.

This is for you, Sister.

Oh, thank you, dear.

"Dear Sister Urban,

Welcome to the Welles estate.

I would apologize for the condition of the house,

but that is why you and your team are here.

All insurance lists for cataloging

are on the dining room table.

Good luck, Henry Dunnbrat. ”

Girls, I'd like you to put your things away

while I try to make sense out of our kitchen.

Don't worry, sister. We won't make a sound.

Come on, let's go.

Yeah.

Rosemary.

Oh, Adelle and I will take this one.

Ooh, this one seems great to me.

Wanna crash here? - Perfect, Kate,

but you better watch out, I've been told I snore.

Oh, and who told you that?

None of your business.

Well, it looks like we're the Three Musketeers.

More like the Two Musketeers and their servant.

(chuckles mockingly) Aren't we the funny one.

And if you think I'm going to pick up

after you this weekend,

you're out of your already deranged mind.

Stop it, you two.

We're not her two minutes

and you're already at each other's throats.

So let's get our acts together.

- Excuse me. - Merciful Father,

who's there?

My name is Dr. Robert Fisher.

And I'm terribly sorry for having startled you so.

No harm done, Doctor. Doctor?

Dr. Robert Fisher.

Now tell me, just what brings you to the Welles estate?

Well, the for sale sign, Sister.

I was told by my father in Philadelphia

that this great estate was available,

and he asked me to have first look at it.

Sort of saving him the initial trip up from the city.

I don't know if you're aware,

but Trinity College is now in possession of this house.

We're here to straighten everything out.

I'm Sister Urban.

Well, Sister, I see I caught you at a bad time

but since I drove all the way up from the city,

would it be upsetting things too much

if I had a look around?

I don't think it would hurt.

Why don't you have a look around upstairs

while I open the larger rooms down here.

Well, thank you very much, Sister.

And I promise I won't be long.

All right.

Doctor, you'll be meeting a group

of young girls in your travels.

Try not to stall them.

I promise, Sister.

(indistinct chattering)

Good afternoon, girls.

I'm Dr. Fisher and I promised Sister Urban

I wouldn't startle any of you as I looked around.

Well what brings you here, Doctor?

Well, you can say I'm a perspective buyer

and I'm having a quick tour.

You can start in my room.

Thank you, but I think I'll start higher up

and I'll work my way down.

It was nice meeting all of you.

- Nice meeting you. - Bye.

Oh, he's cute.

"You can start in my room."

You might as well have said,

"You can start with my bed."

- Jeez. - I was only doing it

to be polite. - Come on with this doctor.

Let's see if Sister needs us.

- Okay. - Yeah.

(suspenseful music)

(doorknob clattering) (low shrieking)

- Richard? - Hm?

The large rooms are open for you now, Doctor.

Thank you, Sister.

This way.

(suspenseful music)

[Man] Kill them.

And do come when the place is completely in order.

Thank you again, Sister.

And it was a pleasure meeting

all these charming young girls.

(girls giggle) I'll show myself out.

Goodbye now. - Goodbye, Doctor.

- Bye. - Nice to meet you.

Now listen very carefully, girls.

That charming young doctor was quite interested

in the house and had everything been in order,

he would have gone with a better impression.

We have a lot of work to do in the next few days.

So please be prepared to make the extra effort.

- We will, Sister. - We will.

Now I have about almost an hour's work

to do before dinner.

So you girls finish putting your things away

and don't run too far.

- Okay. - All right.

All right, you guys, what do you wanna do

for the next hour?

I know, let's have a game of manhunt.

- That's a great idea. - So how come Elizabeth

thought of it? - This place is perfect

for it. - Well, since I did

think of it, I get to pick who's it.

And I pick Rosemary.

That's not fair. And I won't do it.

It may not be fair, but if you don't do it,

I'll tell everyone who you're asking to the dinner dance.

- You wouldn't do that. - Oh, wouldn't I?

Stop it you two. I'll be it.

That's okay, Jackie.

I don't mind being it because when I find Liz,

she's going to wish she was dead.

(all laughing)

All right, I'll give you all to a hundred. Go!

One, two, three,

four, five, six,

seven, eight, nine,

ten,

11, 65, 79,

85, 99, 100, here I come!

(suspenseful music)

[Man] Jennifer.

(suspenseful music)

(doorknobs clattering)

(doorknob clattering)

(door opens)

Somebody's in here.

(head bumps)

(book thuds)

(suspenseful music)

[Jennifer Voice over] "Diary of Jennifer Welles,

June 7th, 1939.

My situation seemed as if it was filled only

with despair and no hope.

Mother Mary Urban allowed me time to myself.

I spent countless hours asking her

how God could let this happen.

And she, with effortless confidence,

replied that understanding God's will

is not always possible.

It seemed natural to follow Mother Mary Urban

into the convent for a life dedicated to helping people.

I told her of my idea and she was very happy

that my thoughts and prayers

had gravitated toward a religious life.

She told me that it was a hard life

but seeing her every day with a dedicated smile

on her face convinced me that a life as a member

of the Trinity Order was what God had planned for me."

(gasps) I got you, Jack! Got you, Jack!

You're the last one! I knew it!

I got her! (laughing)

Now you're it.

(suspenseful music)

I got Jackie! I got Jackie!

Good for you.

(suspenseful music) - Ooh, be careful, dear.

Are you all right?

Let's all go in for dinner.

(suspenseful music)

[Man] Jennifer.

The name of the Father and of the Son

and of the Holy Ghost, amen.

[All] "Our Father who art in heaven

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us

our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us

and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen."

The name and of the Father and of the Son

and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

(indistinct chattering)

- Sister? - Yes, dear.

What were the girls like a long time ago at Trinity?

But I don't quite understand what you mean.

I mean like 30 or 40 years ago. Were they a lot like us?

Well, considering the more conservative times,

I do recall them as being very much like you girls.

Yeah. (indistinct chattering)

What time do we have to get up tomorrow, Sister Urban?

I believe about 7:30 would be just about right.

- 7:30? - 7:30?

(indistinct chattering) Oh, my God.

- That's too early. - No doubt.

Wait, tell me... - Oh, God.

- What's it going to be? - What was Jennifer Welles

like?

How do you know that name?

When we were playing hide and seek,

I hid in the room that must've been hers.

There's some very old coffee books dated 1939

and her name was on them.

Jackie, please forgive me for snapping

at you the way I did.

But the subject of Jennifer Welles is very sensitive to me.

Oh, please tell us, Sister Urban.

Liz, could you for once, just once stay out of something?

I don't think Sister Urban wants to discuss it.

No, no, girls.

You have a right to know since I lost my temper.

Jennifer was a junior in the college

when her parents were killed in a plane crash.

Her only relative was an uncle who she had never met

before her parents died.

That uncle being Tyler Welles, the school's benefactor.

He invited Jennifer to spend the summer with him

at this very estate,

when a terrible accident occurred.

(crickets chirping) (typewriter clattering)

- Hi, Dad. - Oh, hi, Son.

Just off the phone talking to Jackie, I guess.

No.

Nothing wrong, I hope.

Nothing at all.

She and a bunch of her friends are spending a long weekend

up at the Welles estate.

Ah, the Welles estate.

Valued at well over 3 million, if I'm not mistaken.

Well what are they doing out there?

Oh, they're cataloging the art collection

so they can put it up for public auction.

I hope they have plenty of help

because that place is enormous.

You know, it must be 40 years since the Welles estate

was making headlines.

Actually, quite tragic headlines.

Tragic? What do you mean?

Oh, I don't mean to be cryptic, Paul, or vague.

Tyler Welles 40 years ago had a niece who went to Trinity.

She wound up spending her summer vacation at his estate.

She was killed there in a terrible fall.

Do you remember anything else?

Well now wait a minute.

At 11, I was scarcely a reporter

but you're certainly welcome to come down to the office

after school and check out the back issues of the paper.

Great. How about tomorrow?

Well, if you're that excited about it, sure.

I'll tell you what I'll do.

I'll have my secretary pull out some of those old issues

and that oughta help narrow the search for you.

Thanks, Dad.

Nothing like having the editor of the best local newspaper

around when you need him. - The only local newspaper.

(crickets chirping)

Can you believe it? Can you believe it?

A Trinity girl was killed here in this house.

Who said anything about being killed?

Yeah, maybe she died accidentally from a fall.

That's what everybody was told.

But I think she was murdered.

I think your imagination is working overtime as usual.

Oh, you think so, do you?

Well I can prove what I'm telling you is true.

Oh, and just how do you propose to do that, Sherlock?

By having a seance and bringing back

the spirit of Jennifer Welles.

That's a super idea.

In this room with the lights turned out, it'd be perfect.

I am not messing with this voodoo shit.

Liz, you are one crazy lady.

And I think you oughta cool your jets.

I agree with the Adelle.

If Sister Urban would have walked in here

and catch us invoking a dead girl's spirit,

we'd all be better off dead.

Listen, Jackie, as much as I hate to admit it

because it is Liz's idea,

this would be a lot of fun.

I mean, what harm can it do if we're all quiet? (giggles)

Really. Come on, Adelle, you too, Jackie.

Don't spoil the fun.

I will if you will.

(suspenseful music) (indistinct chattering)

(all laughing)

- Oh, my God. - Is everybody ready?

Cut the crap, Liz.

Now everybody put your hands lightly

at the base of the skull.

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.

And when questions are asked,

spirit of Jennifer will move this skull

toward the letters which will spell out the words

and give us our answers.

(all laughing)

I think she does this for a living.

(all laughing)

Please control yourselves.

Now, somebody ask the first question.

I will.

Jennifer, are you still in this house?

(girls giggling)

Does your spirit still walk these halls?

(girls giggling)

Somebody else try.

Come on, Kate, you try.

Did you die accidentally in this house

or were you brutally murdered?

What kind of question is that?

I'm just trying to cut through all the bullshit.

You ask a question, Jackie.

You're the smartest one here.

Jennifer, if there's anything that you want us to know,

anything at all, please tell us.

(suspenseful music)

(girls giggling)

P.

I.

C.

T.

U.

(wind howling) (girls screaming)

Did you see what just happened? Did you see?

(indistinct yelling)

(Sister Urban clapping)

You girls have just made enough noise to wake the dead.

I want none of your explanations.

I just want you upstairs this instant.

Sorry, Sister.

(doors creaking)

(suspenseful music)

I almost died down there.

I was so scared.

Oh, that's some admission coming from the one

who had this crazy idea for a seance in the first place.

Well didn't you feel something down there

when the room filled with air?

Yes, so I felt a chill.

No, I mean something inside.

You know what I think?

- No, what? - I think that stuff

that you and Mark smoke on the weekends

is still in your blood stream.

You can't fool me, Jackie.

I know you felt something and I'm going back down there.

Are you crazy?

Sister Urban finds us down there, she'll murder us.

I'll murder both of you if you don't shut up.

Sorry, Rosemary.

Listen, we both know that Ouija board

spelled out the word picture,

or would have if everything didn't get blown to hell.

So?

So silly, there's only one picture in that room.

It's covered and hanging over the fireplace,

and I'm gonna have a look at it.

Why can't this just wait until the morning?

Because we may all be dead in the morning.

For once, will you shut the hell up, Liz.

(suspenseful music)

(doors creaking)

(Jackie gasps)

(suspenseful music)

Oh, my God.

- Jennifer. - Jackie,

it's you.

Jennifer Welles, May 5th, 1919

to August 7th, 1939.

Jackie, I don't know what to say.

Shh, just be quiet, Liz, and let me think.

First, give me a hand putting this cover back up.

Jackie, I don't believe it.

I don't care what you believe.

I've had enough of your crazy ideas for one night.

Now you listen to me, this is a freak coincidence.

It doesn't go any further than this room. Understand?

You and I are gonna make sure

that nobody but nobody finds this tomorrow.

Do you understand me?

- Yes. - Good, now let's go to bed.

Liz, after what we just saw,

I'm gonna go get a glass of milk so I can sleep tonight.

After what we just saw,

I'm going to bed right now.

(suspenseful music)

[Jennifer Voice over] "June 9th, 1939.

Today I will meet my Uncle Tyler for the first time.

It was only yesterday that I received a cable

that he was coming to see me.

I knew I had an uncle, but I had never met him.

My father told me that he had left home early in life

after an accident terribly disfigured his face.

We knew that Uncle Tyler had amassed a fortune in art

from all over the world.

But all we knew of him was what we read in the papers.

I remember the first time I met my Uncle Tyler.

I was standing outside with Mother Mary Urban."”

- I'm so nervous. - That's quite

understandable, dear.

I don't even know what to say to him.

I'm sure he's a fine person.

You'll have plenty to talk about.

Good afternoon, Mr. Welles.

I'm Mother Mary Urban and this is-

Jennifer.

Oh, excuse me and pardon my manners,

but seeing Jennifer for the first time

has brought back a flood of memories of my late brother.

I quite understand.

My deepest sympathy on your great loss.

Thank you, Uncle Tyler.

Thank you for coming to visit me.

I know that you are a very busy man.

Oh, nonsense. You're the only family I have left.

It's about time I started making up

for all those years of neglect.

You can visit Jennifer at the convent school

anytime you like, Mr. Welles.

Thank you, Mother.

And now Jennifer, why don't you show me

this fine school that you attend.

(soft piano music)

[Jennifer Voice over] "The rest of that day

was spent walking and talking for hours.

All I could think of was how wonderful

my summer was going to be."

You'll have a marvelous time.

Good, then it's settled.

I'll make all the arrangements with Mother Urban.

And my driver will pick you up at the end of the term.

Right on time.

And welcome to my, I mean your new home.

Thank you, Uncle Tyler. The ride was beautiful.

Now there's only one request I have of you, Jennifer,

during your stay here,

that's not to call me Uncle Tyler.

I've never been a very good uncle to you,

but I'd like to begin by being your good friend.

Fair enough? - Much more than fair.

Good. Now come, I have a surprise for you.

(soft music)

Oh, this place is a castle.

Where else would a princess stay?

Now come with me before my surprise disappears.

It's the most beautiful room II've ever seen.

And it's all yours.

And anything else you want.

[Jennifer Voice over] "The days seemed to roll by

one after the other,

each more perfect than the last.

At first, I only saw Tyler part of the time

because of his work but as time passed,

his work slipped away and I had him all to myself.

My favorite time was spent gliding across Tyler's lake

as though nothing in the world could bother us.

(soft music)

Dinners were wonderful.

We would talk about everything.

He treated me as an equal who had much to contribute. ”

Jennifer, have you given any thought as to what

you're going to do at summer's end?

Well, I have my last year to finish at college.

I quite understand.

No, no Tyler. I know when you have something on your mind.

Well, I leave for Europe and Asia in September

on my greatest art collecting tour.

And I thought you'd like to join me as my assistant.

Oh, that would be beyond my wildest dreams.

Then why don't you think on it for a week or so

and we can discuss it further. - Oh.

[Jennifer Voice over] "All p could think of was traveling

the world with Tyler, watching him collect

art treasures from every country.

My mind was filled with thoughts of how happy we would be.

I didn't think it was possible for Tyler

to have any more surprises, but I was so wrong.

He told me of his plans to paint a portrait

of me with himself as the artist.

I sat for him as he worked so intensely at his task.

He wouldn't allow me to see it until it was complete.

Today, my whole world with Tyler was shattered.

I can now clearly see what his intentions

were from the beginning.

We were taking our brandy at the end of the day."

Jennifer, have you given any thought

about coming with me to Europe?

That's all I've been thinking of,

but I don't know how I could leave school and Mother Urban.

Jennifer, these have been the most important weeks

of my life.

I don't want them to come to an end.

Neither do I, but I have a responsibility too.

Jennifer, the only responsibility you have

is to do what you want to do, when you want to do it.

That's how I live.

And that's how I want you to live.

(ominous music)

No, Tyler!

[Jennifer Voice over] "All I could think of was

to sort things out by writing in my diary

what had happened to me.

I knew that kissing Uncle Tyler was wrong, but I wanted it.

I was burning inside.

I must leave this place to clear my mind.

I must get back to Mother Mary Urban.

I need to confess this terrible sin to her.

(suspenseful music)

- Here you go. - Mm.

I need more. (chuckles)

(cereal pouring)

The more I think about it,

it could take forever to list these antiques.

That's because you're not used to it.

In my dad's store, Sunday was the big day for inventory,

and guess who's job it was?

How come everybody's ignoring

what happened last night during the seance?

Some things are better left unknown.

I told you guys to stay clear of that voodoo shit.

Really, Adelle's right.

I don't even wanna think about it,

and I'm not going back in that room.

I really think you're taking it all too seriously.

I mean, let's face it, we had a blast last night.

I was even hoping we could do it again tonight.

- We? - Well I know

Liz will want to.

Where have you been? I've been looking all over for you.

Come on, Liz. You have to pull yourself together.

I'm okay.

I just can't believe you look just like that dead girl.

Oh, thanks, Liz.

I didn't mean it that way.

I know you didn't but listen,

let's make sure we work in the living room first

so nobody else has to uncover you know what.

Come on.

Has anyone seen Jackie or Elizabeth?

I think they went to look for some pencils to write with.

Well now girls, we're going to carefully record

the entire contents of this house

starting with this first floor.

Elizabeth and I will start with the living room

and then do the den.

Oh, Jackie, that would be just fine.

I know the rest of you girls

will pick other challenging rooms with the same enthusiasm.

Now, let's get on with our work.

(suspenseful music)

(sword scrapes)

Would you look at this thing?

My goodness.

Sword 432.

(Susan chuckles)

(suspenseful music)

- Talk to me, Rosemary. - Oh, my God.

(both laughing)

(suspenseful music)

Hi, Sister, how are you feeling?

I must confess, I am a little tired

and I thought a cup of tea would do me good.

Let me fix you another cup.

Thank you, dear.

Sister, I think it would be a good idea.

if you were to take a nap now until dinner.

I wouldn't think of letting you girls

do all the work while I rest.

We'll be done for the day in a couple of hours.

I'll get the chili started for dinner

and you'll be all rested by then.

Now Elizabeth will take you upstairs with a fresh cup of tea

and you can take a well-deserved nap.

You children are so good to me.

Promise you'll wake me in time for dinner.

(Jackie chuckles)

(pages rustling)

(phone ringing)

(suspenseful music)

Jackie!

(crowd cheering) (phone ringing)

[Announcer] Stanley hits Gray from 22 yards out.

[Announcer 2] And as you said, Gray...

- Hello? - Bruce.

Hi, Paul, how are you doing?

Listen, I got this terrific idea.

Every time you got a great idea, I end up in trouble.

No, no, no. Will you just listen to this?

You know Jackie and the girls are spending the weekend

up at the Welles estate.

Right.

So I was thinking maybe we oughta go up there

and try to scare 'em.

That sounds great.

What do we tell our parents?

Tell your pants you're spending the night at my house.

I'll tell mine I'm already at yours.

I'll pick you up in 15 minutes.

Road trip.

(suspenseful music)

(crickets chirping)

(exhales) I've seen these in the movies.

I remember seeing one of the Marx brothers ride it.

Oh, don't tell me you're thinking of trying it.

You got it. I'll see you soon.

- Rosemary! - (yelps) Yahoo!

Are you sure you wanna do this?

(dumbwaiter clattering)

Rose, are you okay?

Oh, God, this is one spooky ride!

Then pull yourself back up.

I wanna see how far it goes.

(Karen sighs)

(dumbwaiter clattering) (door creaking)

(suspenseful music)

(Rosemary gasps)

(Rosemary screams)

(cleaver whooshes) (flesh squelching)

Rosemary? (dumbwaiter clattering)

Rose? Can you hear me?

Rosemary, are you okay?

Okay, wise ass.

I don't know what floor you got off on,

but you can rot in hell.

I thought I heard somebody in here.

What's going on?

Nothing important.

Come on, you guys. Save the conversation for dinner.

I'm starving.

Okay, let's go stuff our faces.

Let's go.

Now, Sister, I'm not a doctor,

but I think you should just stay in bed.

Jackie's right.

You should just stay in bed and get a good night's rest.

You'll feel much better in the morning.

Well, maybe that would be a good idea,

but I worry so about you girls.

What's to worry about?

Today's work went perfectly

and dinner is being served right now.

Everything's just fine.

Oh, I feel so useless being here like this.

Nonsense, Sister. You just get your rest.

You were right, Liz. She sure doesn't look good.

I'm beginning to think she should see a doctor.

Why can't that hunk of a doctor stop by now

for the grand tour? - I think we should keep

one of the girls with Sister

to see if there's any change in her condition.

As soon as someone's finished eating,

I'll have her relieve you.

Don't get me wrong, I love Sister Urban,

but after last night, I'm getting the creeps

just sitting here. - I'll have some one up

as soon as possible. (Liz sighs)

- You want some of this? - Yeah.

Got chili.

Oh, God, over here.

Okay, thank you, Adelle.

- Mm, yummy. - Don't blame me

if you don't like it. - No.

- Jackie made it. - I love it.

Mm, this stuff is great.

- Chili's great, Jack. - Mm.

Thanks.

Listen, Sister Urban isn't feeling very well,

and we convinced her to stay in bed.

Liz is up with her now and I think it'd be a good idea

if we all took a turn and stayed with her.

- Oh, I'll go now - Yeah.

so Liz can get some dinner.

Thanks, Adelle, I'll go after you

and everybody else can take a turn.

Speaking of everybody, where's Rosemary?

I don't know.

She was fooling around on the dumbwaiter

and got off at one of the levels.

I think she's hiding and wants us to go and find her

because she was it yesterday when we played manhunt.

Do me a favor, Karen, after you finish,

go find her and tell her to get some dinner

before it gets cold.

Jackie, she could be anywhere by now.

(suspenseful music)

- Hey, crazy lady. - Jesus, Adelle,

are you trying to put me in an early grave?

I don't believe the queen of pranks is so jittery.

Anyway, II've come to relieve you.

How do you think she is?

She's sleeping now.

She's not looking that good.

If she gets any worse, come and get us.

Gotcha. There's a bowl of chili on the stove.

Why don't she get it while it's hot?

No, thanks. I've lost my appetite.

Getting out of these filthy clothes and into a hot shower.

I just might crash early myself.

(footsteps tapping)

(suspenseful music)

(door creaking)

Rose?

Rosemary?

(suspenseful music)

I know you're down here.

Why don't you save me the trouble

of getting scared to death when you jump out at me?

Christ, it's dark down here.

Why don't you come out from wherever you're hiding

so we can get the hell out of here?

(slight breathing)

(low groaning)

(suspenseful music)

Please be Rosemary.

(door creaking) (Karen screams)

(Karen gasping)

(hook creaking)

(hook whooshes and whacks)

(Karen screaming) (chain rattling)

(Karen gargling)

(water running)

I think I'll go up and check on Sister Urban and Adelle.

Thanks for helping clean up.

- Oh, no problem, Jack. - Our pleasure.

You know, it sure is quiet around here.

Yeah, I wonder why Karen has showed up with Rosemary yet.

Oh, I know it's not like Rosemary to miss a meal.

Yeah. (laughs)

You don't suppose those two are trying

to pull something over on us?

I mean, first one vanishes then the other.

I bet they're both planning on sneaking up on us.

Well, why don't we see if we can do a little sneaking

of our own and turn the tables on them.

Where did Karen say she was going?

Was it down in the basement? - I think she did.

Let's finish here and find them.

Well when we find them, we're gonna put them both

in that dumbwaiter. - From what Karen said,

it was hard enough getting Rosemary out.

That I don't doubt. (chuckles)

Let somebody else finish here

and let's go find them ourselves.

Okay.

You sure, Jackie? I haven't been here all that long.

That's okay, Adelle.

I think shorter shifts will be easier on everybody.

Tell Kate or Susan to relieve me in an hour.

How do you think she is?

She seems to be sound asleep.

It's almost like she has a frightened look on her face.

That's exactly what I thought.

I'll see you in a little bit.

(cart clattering) - Oh, hooray!

(girls laughing)

Whoo!

Oh, my God. This is a blast!

I know!

Faster, Kate, Faster!

Faster? (Susan laughing)

I can't go any faster.

Whoo!

(both laughing)

What a weird place.

Look, there's two more down here.

I wonder why they went outside.

I bet they're trying to sneak up on us from out there.

I'll tell you what, I'l try and sneak up on them

by going this way while you head upstairs

and go out the front.

But aren't you a little scared?

Of what? It'll be a blast if we can catch them

before they get us.

Fine, I'll see you soon.

Okay.

(suspenseful music)

(crickets chirping)

(frogs croaking)

(branch cracking)

(water sloshing)

(creature growling)

(frogs croaking)

(water sloshing) (creature growling)

(creature roaring) (Kate gasping)

(water splashing)

(water bubbling)

(frogs croaking)

(crickets chirping)

(suspenseful music)

(intense music)

- It's me, Paul. - Jesus Christ, Paul!

I could kill you for that!

What the hell are you doing here?

I'm sorry, Susan, I just didn't want you to yell

and give us a way. - What?

Oh, God.

Listen, I've gotta see Jackie as soon as I can.

And you can't tell anybody else that we're here.

Can you swing it? - Okay, Paul.

I think she's upstairs with Sister Urban.

You wait by the front door and stay out of sight.

I'll send her out to you.

All right. Thanks, Susan.

Okay.

Bruce.

Listen, I wanna talk to Jackie alone,

so can you wait for me back by the car?

All the way back there?

Come on. I won't be long.

Listen, I'll even give you the keys

so you can listen to the radio.

All right, but you better not be long.

This place scares the shit out of me.

(crickets chirping)

(water running)

(suspenseful music)

Shit.

He's waiting outside the front door.

I don't know why he's here, but I'm glad he is.

We may all be leaving now that Paul's here.

Sister Urban looks worse and I was just about

to go for help.

I can't believe they don't have phones in this place.

Now you stay here with Sister and I'll be back up soon.

Okay.

- Hi, pal. - Paul.

I don't understand. - Listen, there's something

I've gotta show you.

All right, come in.

Last night Dad and I were talking.

And he told me about a girl that died here

over 40 years ago.

So I went down to his office to look at some old clippings.

You're not gonna believe what I found.

Paul, I've got something to show you.

- What about this? - Please, Paul.

(branches rustling)

(owl hoots)

(crickets chirping)

(bird shrieks)

(owl hoots)

(suspenseful music)

Paul, Paul, is that you?

Paul?

(engine starting)

Huh?

(tires screeching) (engine revving)

(Bruce gasps) (body thuds)

(Bruce screaming)

(bones cracking)

Paul, I can't tell you how glad I am that you're here.

Sister Urban is upstairs sick and we had no way

of getting her out of here until you came.

I know more about this Jennifer Welles thing than I care to.

It's gotta be a freak coincidence.

I can't believe I found somebody in this place.

I didn't know it was gonna be a co-ed weekend.

How ya doin'? - Just fine, Adelle.

What do you mean you can't find anybody, Adelle?

Rosemary Karen, Kate just disappeared.

Nobody's in their rooms.

Unless you brought some guys for them

and forgot about your buddy Adelle.

Listen, Adelle, we're gonna be leaving here right away

because Sister Urban is sick.

That's why Paul drove out here.

How did he know she was sick?

I don't have time to explain every little thing.

Paul, where's Bruce? - He's waiting for me

back by the car. - All right, I want you

to go get Bruce and get the car

and drive up right to the house.

With Sister Urban's condition, time is very important.

- Okay, where you parked? - Just down the driveway

about 200 yards on your right.

Bruce has got the keys. Just tell him I sent ya.

Okay.

This is what I wanted to show you before Adelle came in.

It's better that they think everything's all right.

I don't know why I didn't tell anyone before.

For chrissakes, Jackie.

I don't believe this.

This isn't all I found.

Yesterday I found Jennifer Welles' diary.

And by the way, it was hidden.

I'm betting I'm the only one who's seen it

since she last wrote in it just before she died.

What'd it say?

You're not gonna to believe this,

but Tyler Welles was slowly seducing her.

He finally made his move on her.

Jennifer was able to pull herself away long enough

to write that she couldn't believe this was happening

and that she couldn't wait to get back

to see Mother Mary Urban.

- You don't mean Sister- - Yes, I do.

(crickets chirping)

"Adelle, do this. Adelle, do that.

Adelle, go find Bruce. ”

Well I'm here now and there's no Bruce.

I know they told me to go about 200 yards.

I got to be close to half a mile by now.

(suspenseful music)

Bruce is that you?

Oh, Bruce, we're traveling in style now.

(Adelle screaming)

(crickets chirping)

Listen, I'm a little worried about what Adelle said.

- What? - About not

finding anybody.

I think we should go get the other girls

before we bring Sister down.

I mean, she'd never go if everybody wasn't accounted for.

Okay, pal. Let's go.

Maybe I'll get to sleep with one or two of these.

(pills rattling)

(suspenseful music)

I may need a couple of extra tonight.

(suspenseful music)

(Mary groaning)

Sister? Are you okay, Sister?

(Mary groaning)

What's wrong?

[Man] Jennifer.

(suspenseful music)

(light switch clicking)

Kate, are you in here?

Come on, Kate, this isn't funny.

Will you stop it.

(door creaking)

(door closes) (lock clicks)

(pound on door)

Come on, you guys! It's not funny!

Will you let me out!

(lighter clicking)

Jennifer. (Susan gasps)

(suspenseful music)

Who's in here?

Oh, who's in here?

(Susan screams)

(fixture explodes) (Susan screaming)

(electricity zapping) (Susan screaming)

(hand plops) (bones snapping)

(body thuds) (bones cracking)

(legs scraping)

(Susan exhales)

(chain creaking)

(fingers pattering)

(crickets chirping)

Paul, what the hell is going on around here?

We've been everywhere and it's as if they disappeared.

Listen, I know they're your best friends,

but isn't it possible they're pulling

some big practical joke on you?

Especially after what happened last night at the seance?

No.

I'm sorry, Paul.

As a group, they've done some pretty crazy things

but they all know how sick Sister Urban is.

All I can think of is something has happened to them.

You're gonna make a pretty good parent

the way you're worrying.

Just kidding. I think this whole thing's pretty weird too.

But what really bothers me is where's Bruce and Adelle?

They should have been here over 20 minutes ago.

I wish I knew what to do.

(sighs) Look, I'm sure they're fine

wherever they are.

But Sister Urban, that's a different story.

I think you should go up and get her ready for travel.

I'm sure I can find my car

and probably Bruce and Adelle.

Just have Sister ready.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

Paul, thanks.

- For what? - For everything.

(suspenseful music)

(creepy breathing)

(covers rustling)

(crickets chirping)

(suspenseful music)

(creepy breathing)

(intense music)

All right, girls, come on out.

Enough is enough!

(pitchfork whooshes)

Jackie's getting...

(pitchfork whacks) (Paul gasping)

(flesh squelching)

(Paul gasping)

(gasps) Sister!

Where's Susan?

Jackie, please, Jackie, get out of this house.

Sister, I'm not gonna go and leave you here.

Please, Jackie, dear, do as I tell you.

Now go!

(Mary groans)

(intense music)

(doorknob clattering)

(pounds on door)

Paul!

(doorknob clattering) (pounds on door)

Paul!

[Man] Jennifer.

(heart beating) (machinery beeping)

(distorted voices)

- Kiss me, Tyler. - This is Dr. Fisher.

Can you hear me?

(women laughing and screaming)

Doctor!

(Kate screaming) (engine revving)

(worms squishing)

They're all dead in that house,

but I'm not dead, he's...

(water dripping)

(suspenseful music)

(Mary groaning)

(suspenseful music) (heart beating)

Jennifer.

Jennifer, I have come for you.

I knew you would return

so I've waited all these years.

You should have been mine long ago.

And now you will be mine in marriage

and death for all eternity.

No. (gasping)

All is prepared for you.

Six lovely bridesmaids.

And even a best man.

Paul.

(Jackie sobbing)

(suspenseful music)

(wind howling)

Jennifer!

(suspenseful music)

Jennifer?

Yes, it is I, Jennifer.

And not some unsuspecting girl to add to the list

of your ghoulish murders.

The list which started 40 years ago

when you tried to force a young girl into intimacy with you.

No, Tyler!

(intense music)

(creepy breathing)

No, Tyler!

(intense music)

No, Tyler!

If I can't have you, no one can!

(body rumbling)

(head bangs)

For 40 years, I've waited for this moment

to punish you for what you did to me.

I only regret these girls have to share in my revenge.

So, your satanic work is not complete.

I'm sorry you have to witness this, child.

(dramatic music)

(eyeballs squishing) (Tyler screaming)

My eyes! My eyes!

(Tyler screaming) (eyeballs squishing)

(suspenseful music)

Elizabeth. Help me with Sister Urban.

(crickets chirping)

Doctor, we have to get to the hospital right away.

(door closes)

(engine revving)

(eerie music)

(upbeat funk music)
