All language subtitles for th ev 1978

[ominous music]

[sighs]

Dang.

Old house.

You ain't gonna get the ropes,
eh?

You're just a house,
it's all you are.

[ominous music]

Foolishness.

It's just what this is,
damn foolishness.

It mean nothing.

Just gotta come in
this time of day.

Never came inside this
house before.

Some newcomer.

Damn.

Clean up all this
sloppy old mess.

[loud thudding]

Who's there?

You come on out now.

Come out now, you hear me?

Are you...

You're just better...

You better begone!

I'll wait all hell out of ya!

Coming down now.

[faint voices talking]

[ominous music]

Coming down there.

It don't mean nothing.

Couple of kids.

Come on out now.

[faint voices talking]

I'm coming in now.

[faint voices talking]

[wood rattling]

Really come out now.

[faint voices talking]

[ominous music]

It ain't nothing!

[screaming]

[horn honking]

There you go, Mr. Arnold.

Sorry this took so long.

What seem to be the problem,
Mr. Decker?

Oh the usual pack, round
check, you understand?

Even with your length of
experiences in drug
rehabilitation,

some of the blood members
have certain questions.

We were sure your center would
be a beneficial operation,

but your foundation was so new.

So, we decided to take a
more cautious approach.

If you had an affiliation
with an organized church...

I regard most organized
churches as organized hypocrisy.

That's a rather strong
opinion, isn't it?

[Arnold] Now we both
know the weak opinion

serve no purpose, don't we?

[Decker] Oh yes,
that's very true.

[ominous music]

The caretaker was supposed
to meet us out front.

Sam!

Maybe he's inside?

Possible.

Probably found a bottle.

Sam?

Sam, are you in there?

Sam?

Oh, please come in.

Please come in.

Sam!

- No lights?
- I'm afraid not.

Most of the wires gave
out years ago.

But that's the only draw factor.

Let me fix this here.

There.

Yeah, let me fix this.

There we are.

There haven't been any permanent
residents here for years.

Old Mr. Vargas built this,
he died

in his 30s.

Old at 30?

Just a figure of speech.

And the stories of old
men becomes old.

It said his hair turned white

and only glimpses of him
were ever seen

after his 30th birthday.

That was before the war,
the Civil War that is.

After that, it was
converted to a conservatory

for young women.

And the music room so
happened then.

But the school closed it.

This was the main dining room.

Cozy.

It was vacant for several years

before the county took it over.

Then it came under
the supervision

of the redevelopment bureau
at the turn of the century.

There's been no one
in here all that time?

Yours was the only
inquiry my office processed

in quite a while.

Beautiful.

Yes.

The Indians gave this
spot a wide berth.

There were sulfur pits
and steam pools.

Valley of the Devils,
their legends call it.

That's why Vargas built this,
so they say.

Built it right over a fumarole.

Wanted the heat.

Heated the mineral baths.

Who knows?

It is beautiful.

It's so strangely desolate.

It didn't make much difference.

Geothermal activity
stopped just about

the time the house was finished.

Just dried out like he
put a seal on it.

Well, big enough.

I don't know.

It's gonna take an
awful lot of work.

Hopefully you have volunteers.

There's nearly 200 rooms
in the main building,

and the caretakers
housing in the back.

Sam's not too reliable though.

I don't think you would
wanna keep him on.

Every time I need him,
he's off some place else.

But that'll be no big
problem from you.

You've got all the
volunteers you need.

I think everything's just
gonna be fine.

It was vacant for several years

before the county took it over.

[ominous music]

Of course there was
some opposition

to you taking the place,
you know?

But that's not much of anything.

Caroline, what are you doing?

Something wrong?

Guess these 18-hour days
are getting me.

- What's down here?
- More rooms

loaded with rooms.

You mentioned some
opposition, Mr. Decker.

Well, you always get that
no matter what you wanna do.

Some of the people around here

felt that the house should
be left vacant.

There was even a
movement one time

to have the house torn down.

But the Vargas house is
a historical landmark.

Why would they wanna
tear the house down?

Oh, noises and accidents
in and around the place.

Everything one
normally associates

with overactive imaginations.

Stories get started
about any old house

that's been vacant for a while.

[Caroline] What kind of stories?

Oh just stories.

Just old wives' tale.

Look out!

Oh my God!

- Are you all right?
- I'm all right.

- I'm fine, I'm fine.
- You're fine?

- You could've been hurt!
- I'm terribly sorry.

Mr. Decker, no need
to apologize.

It wasn't your fault.

Would you stop fussing, huh?

Am I bleeding?

Are you sure you're all right?

Would you stop fussing?

It's not that serious.

That doesn't mean that
that's all right.

Mr. Decker, can I give
you a piece of advice?

Never marry a doctor.

In spite of all of your stories,

I think we're ready to go
ahead with this right away.

Oh excellent!

Excellent, Mr. Arnold.

We can stop by my office to
sign the lease agreement.

Fine.

I'll call some of my volunteers

to see if we can move
here quickly.

Disturb not he who is here

held in chains.

[ominous music]

I think from now on any
stories about this place

would have an all
different ring.

Caroline?

[ominous music]

[electricity buzzing]

The laws of physics are logical.

Positive, constant.

Not so the world of psychology.

But light, concentrated,
powerful.

Light in the form of knowledge,

compassion, understanding,
can open up a mind

or if misused can destroy it

just as surely as that laser
disintegrated its target.

Oh by the way I'd like
to thank you all

for your dedication
this semester.

Some of you by
accident or by design

will be back next semester.

My thesis is finished.

By then I'll have my
PhD in a shingle

so you won't have to
listen to me anymore.

[laughing]

Anyway, I hope you've learned
something worthwhile here.

[bell ringing]

Have a nice summer.

[students chattering]

That was very well done,
Professor.

I should call you doctor,
shouldn't I?

How about Your Excellency?

Now that has a nice ring to it.

It's got something.

Oh by the way, CJ
called this afternoon

and we're to be out there
at 9 o'clock in the morning.

- They got the place?
- Yup!

That's fantastic.

You can count on the
job this summer.

Great, finally!

I cleared it with the
Dean's Office,

so my lady you'll be
getting three credits

for your work this summer
at the center.

Oh, I can't thank you enough.

Please, Miss Belman.

Not so familiar, if
you don't mind?

Where should we go?

Your place or mine?

You're crazy, you know that?

That's not a very helpful
thing for a psychologist to say.

You're still crazy but
you are a beauty.

And I have you all to
myself all summer.

Oh wait a minute.

You've already got the
job, what else do you want?

There's gotta be something.

- I'd hate to ask.
- You're a smart boy.

I need this summer, too.

It's the best possible
practical demonstration

of what CJ is doing
in his field.

And it's what I wanna
do in mine...

- Hey, hey, hey.
- What?

- Dinner tonight, Professor.
- Right.

To celebrate.

Champagne?

My place.

"My place".

Your place.

[thunder rumbling]

Then we can run up the rain pipe

on the second floor later on.

Hey, how you doing?

[low volume speech]

Yeah, you help me a great,
Miss CJ.

Hey, a storm's brewing up here

and it might give us
some trouble.

- How you doing, CJ?
- Good, good.

What do you think of this place?

What should I tell ya?

Nothing that ain't big,
that's for damn sure.

- Sam let you in?
- Sam?

Sam who?
Caretaker.

I didn't see a
caretaker 'round here.

Did you look around the back?

Yeah, I'd been back
there and saw nobody.

Well I guess Decker was right,

Sam's reliability quotient
seems a bit flawed.

CJ, can I have the keys, please?

Oh yeah.

Here you go.

Hey, watch your step there.

Think you could get us
some light today?

Well, let me get a shot, CJ.

The generator ain't
working too good

and this storm coming
'round would give us

some more problems, you know?

I don't wanna push you too hard.

Not the prices I'm paying you.

If it wouldn't for you,
my brother

would be on ice.

[CJ] See anybody
wandering around this place

that looks like a caretaker?

[faint background voices]

[ominous music]

- What's wrong?
- The statue.

Look!

What do you want?

I thought I saw...

Saw what?

I thought I saw...

Saw what?

I thought I saw it move.

You thought you saw it move?

[thunder rumbling]

I don't see any difference.

Could've been the light,
the shadows in the room.

I don't know.

I guess it had to be, didn't it?

Yeah, I think it had to be.

[horn honking]

Here we go.

[Pete] Hey, where's
the welcoming committee?

- Hello, hello, hello!
- Anybody home?

- CJ?
- Hello!

[talking over each other]

- Here's some munchies.
- Yeah, very funny, Pete.

Oh God, Pete, when
are you gonna grow up?

What's the matter with you?

- That joke's a classic.
- So are you.

Hey, Dwight!

I want you to meet some people.

What do you think, huh?

- Oh well.
- CJ, this place is enormous.

Yeah, really what do we
need all this space for?

Well let me put it this
way, the price was right.

Okay, fine we'll take it.

Dwight, I'd like you
to meet Mary Harper.

And this is Felicia Allen.

Things are looking up for you.

- What's your name?
- Mary.

How you doing?

They're in our drug
rehabilitation program.

And our resident coot,
Pete Brooks.

[mumbling]

God, you forgot someone.

Kaiser here.

Kaiser!

What's he doing?

Oh not much, but when
he talks everyone listens.

I hope he's house broke.

- Hey Raymond!
- Hey CJ!

[CJ] Dwight, this
is Raymond Guy.

And it looks like he
brought a new recruit.

That we do.

My friend and student,
Miss Laurie Belman.

- Hello.
- Better and better.

- How you doing?
- One of those guys, huh?

[laughing]

The first thing we have
to do obviously

- is clean the place.
- Oh bummer.

Not everything at once.

It's gonna take us a month.

So we'll start with a
few bedrooms

and I think we gotta do
the dining room,

then do the bathroom,

and we'll do the kitchen.

The risk of sounding
like a male chauvinist,

I think the ladies should
do the kitchen?

Oh no, no, no.

None of that.

Well, if the ladies are
displeased with their
assignment,

they can volunteer to
help Pete and I

'cause we're gonna
clean the toilets.

Oh great.

Up to my ass in toilets.

What about lights?

Don't we need some lights?

Oh we got the cleaning
stuff in town.

Done.

Hey, I hate to break out
the good time wrap here, boss,

but I gotta get back to work
or we'll be here forever.

I hope all the fireplaces work.

Yeah, the fireplaces all work.

And so Felicia can relax.

Dwight, what about the lights?

I don't think the city's gonna
connect us for about a week.

Yeah, I think you're right.

Well, I gotta bring the
living crew here,

we should get some
more down here.

Huh, Felicia fox?

Mary sunshine.

Frame of lancer, you're
for something, huh?

Gil should have our first
generator set up by now.

We'll get some work
lights in here.

And then tomorrow we're gonna
have three generators working.

We're starting the
ground floor now

and there's gonna be
cables strung out all over,

so you guys try not
to step on 'em.

Don't go chewing on
things like that.

[thunder rumbling]

And that's about it, boss.

[CJ] Well, okay.

Yeah, if we're gonna get
this place to stay in,

it's gonna take a lot of work.

We really gotta get our
asses together.

[dog whimpering]

We can get this done.

[ominous music]

[wind howling]

[dog whimpering]

I think that does it.

Let's get to work.

- All right!
- Check by me.

Has anybody seen Kaiser?

Maybe he's in the hall.

[dog howling]

That's Kaiser!

[dog howling]

Kaiser?

- Where is he hiding?
- It sounds like

it's coming from underneath us.

CJ, where's the basement?

I don't know.

There's gotta be a door
on this floor.

I gotta go outside.

Hey, Pete, check the hall.

- Kaiser?
- Kaiser!

- Kaiser!
- Kaiser!

- Kaiser!
- Kaiser?

- Got anything?
- Yeah.

- Kaiser!
- Kaiser!

CJ!

Kaiser's here at the basement.

CJ, hurry, in the basement.

[dog howling]

I think he's down here.

We're gonna need a lantern.

Wait, don't go down there yet.

Call him again.

Kaiser?

CJ!

Let me go first.

Come on.

Careful.

Kaiser!

Do you see him?

Kaiser?

Kaiser, here boy!

[whistling]

This place really gives
me the creeps.

Kaiser!

[growling]

CJ?

- Kaiser!
- Hey, are you all right?

He's never bit in
his whole life.

I don't understand.

Well at least he didn't
get his teeth into you.

There.

I think you're gonna be okay.

We looked everywhere, Mary.

I don't think he could've
gotten out of the house,

so we'll find him.

What's made him behave that way?

Well, something frightened him.

He's never acted that way
before in his whole life.

I've had him since he
was a puppy.

Well if he's hiding, when
he gets older he'll come out.

Hey, you're gonna be
all right, huh?

Yeah.

Why don't I go upstairs
and so some work?

No, I don't think you should.

Why don't you just lie
down and rest for a while?

No, really.

It'd be good for my
head to get away.

- Sure?
- Yeah.

Okay.

Come on, Mary.

Let's go find something to do.

Don't worry about it,
we'll find him.

CJ, this place frightens me.

What do you mean?

I feel there's
something in here.

- What?
- I don't know.

There's something evil.

Caroline, that
thing with the dog

can be explained very simply.

No, I don't think it can.

Dogs react to things we
don't know anything about.

- Now you saw him down there.
- Yeah.

Well you can't honestly believe

he was just afraid of the dark?

Yes, I can because I know
that's all it could be.

Oh, CJ, I'm frightened.

Caroline, I know an
incident like this

can frighten anybody.

But for a doctor, you have a
very, very vivid imagination,

you know that?

You all right?

Well, I'm gonna go
crack the whip.

[ominous music]

[lightning crackles]

[ominous music]

[faint voices talking]

Why don't you guys
bring that sofa here

in front of the fireplace,
would you please?

You got it, boss.

Hey, Joe!

Come here, need a pair of hands.

[ominous music]

[faint voices talking]

[lightning crackles]

Diary of Emilio Vargas.

[loud crashing]

[fire crackling]

[metal clanging]

Caroline, I thought
I heard something drop.

Wow, you started a fire, good.

What's this?

Diary of Emilio Vargas.

He must have led a very
eventful life.

The pages are all blank.

Wait a minute.

Here's something.

Whatever strong and noble
soul would set

the holy seal upon the gate.

What is this?

He'll guard that place
in life and death

till time is no more that
no man will set loose

the beast within.

[lightning crackles]

I saw him.

You saw who?

The man who built this house.

I saw him.

He lit this fire.

Caroline.

The man who built this
house was an eccentric

who's been dead for more
than a century.

Now this is an interesting
book, but that's all it is.

Just an interesting
old document.

So the fire Raymond or Dwight

or one of the other
workmen probably started.

This sounds weird but I think

there's something here.

I think that he's
trying to tell us...

Who's trying to tell us?

We're being warned to get out.

Well, I can take a hint.

[thunder rumbling]

This is going to be one
hellacious storm

- before it's done.
- Yup.

Is my back killing me!

God.

Why are these bars here?

I dunno.

I guess to keep
students in probably.

I don't like it.

I think it's really weird.

Give me a hand.

Oh, sorry, I'm sorry.

Here, just take this.

- What was that?
- Who knows, who cares.

- Got it?
- Yeah.

- Better?
- Yeah.

I've been wanting to
ask you something.

It's personal, I really
didn't know how to begin.

So I guess I'm just
gonna ask you,

how did you get into this group?

Let me show you something.

You see that, those freckles?

CJ got me off the horse.

He saved my life.

That answer your question?

Yeah.

[screaming]

Oh my goodness.

Oh my God.

You bastard!

[laughing]

Hey come on.

It's a joke.

Hey, where's your
sense of humor?

I'm sorry, it was just a joke.

Please, get me down, would you?

Well if you think you're
so goddamn funny, asshole,

then you get your own self down.

Come on, Laurie, let
this fool help himself.

Hey, come on!

I really am sorry.

Felicia, would you help me down?

Come on!

CJ, you're not going
down the basement, are you?

I'm afraid I can't
bring the furnace up here.

Please, I wish you wouldn't.

If I see any ghosts,
I'll take it.

When are we guys splitting?

In about 15 minutes.

Well do we have enough
time to take another

look for Kaiser?

I don't wanna him staying in
this space for himself tonight.

Yeah, sure, we'll wait for you.

Take somebody with you.

Okay.

Oh Felicia!

- Ray?
- Yeah.

- Can we talk for a sec?
- Sure.

What conditions would
there have to be

seeing a house like this

to cause the
appearance of figures?

Okay, if you were a
dog, where would you go?

Are you trying to be funny,
lady?

No, I'm not trying to be funny,

I'm trying to be
logical about this.

Well logic's got
nothing to do with it.

I don't even think we
should be trying

to figure out what scared him
so bad in the first place.

Yeah, maybe you're right.

Okay, then what do you
think it was?

I think it was dumbass
Pete if he hadn't been

in the same room with us.

No, you should've seen
the trick he pulled on us.

Scared that little old
girl half to death.

Him and his practical jokes.

Actually I shouldn't be
so hard on him though.

You know, he really does
come through when it counts.

I just hope he doesn't
pull that trick

on the wrong dude and
end up spending

the rest of his life
trying to yank his head

out of his hind then.

Hey!

What is this?

Some kind of dumb weight
or something, I guess.

Wait!

[screaming]

Kaiser?

[ominous music]

Kaiser?

Kaiser?

[ominous music]

[grunts]

[Caroline] CJ, come up
to the kitchen, quick!

CJ, hurry!

[ominous music]

[loud rumbling]

[screaming]

Caroline!

[screaming]

Hey!

Babe, you all right?

Look out!

[screaming]

[rattling]

Let's get the hell out of here.

Come on!

You all right?

Caroline?

CJ, let's get out here.

Come on!

Gimme that.

All right, now, come on.

All the windows are locked.

I want out!

[screaming]

Pete, are you all right?

Yeah, yeah.

Come on, dining room.

CJ!

Felicia, what happened?

- CJ!
- My God.

This house.

It's this house!

Pete, come here!

[screaming]

Don't you see that?

We're not gonna get out of here.

We're not ever
getting out of here,

don't you know that?

Don't you see that?

We're locked in!

Look around!

We're locked in.

We're not gonna get out.

We're never getting out!

Look at it.

Shut up!

Look at me.

It's all right.

Darling, it's all right.

Come on, babe.

Come on, come on.

It's all right.

It's all right.

Shh.

[thunder rumbling]

Well, I think you're
gonna be all right.

But you better rest a bit, okay?

Caroline, what is
happening in this house?

I don't know.

Anyway, you hit your
head pretty hard,

so I think you better
not move around too much.

I don't think you have
a fracture but

you might have a
slight concussion,

so just take it easy, all right?

Okay, thank you.

I'll come back and see
you in a while.

All right, Dwight's dead.

The other man's body we
found in the kitchen,

and we are all locked in here.

Those are the facts.

Does anybody have a
logical explanation

for what's happening?

Okay, now, suppose that
over the years

this house could soak up

some of the natural
power around it.

I mean the
atmospheric conditions

like some of the ones
that exist outside today.

Now that power could
suddenly be released.

There has to be more
to it than that.

Well, maybe there is
but little theory

is as good as anything
I've heard so far.

I think it does have
something to do with the storm.

What?

I don't know.

Great.

That's not much of a
theory either.

Well, it could help,
couldn't it?

I mean, the doors won't open,

glass that doesn't break.

Well you know that
static electricity

does incredibly weird
things sometimes, Randy,

you know that.

Could that have been
what made Kaiser go crazy?

No, it's not the storm.

It's something else.

Now how od you know that?

Well I don't know.

But the I think the key to
all of it is in the diary.

- Caroline.
- What diary?

I found an old diary
in the study.

And all the pages were
balnk except one.

And that was a riddle.

No, it was a verse.

I think it must be a
warning of some kind.

How do you know that?

Well I've seen flashes
of this figure.

I have.

It's just a shape almost,
but I have seen it.

I saw it just over there.

And he waved me into the study

and there was the diary.

And I've seen other things too.

Are they visions?

I don't know what they are.

They're flashes of something.

There must have been some
great conflict in this house.

Between what?

Good and evil?

You mean between God
and the devil?

I don't know.

Well you can all sit
here and discuss

theology if you want.

I'm gonna try to find a
way out of here.

Hold on, CJ.

I'm coming with you.

[panting]

[ominous music]

[screaming]

Help!

Somebody!

[shrill laughing]

[screaming]

[sobbing]

[screaming]

- What was that?
- Come on.

[Felicia screaming]

It's all right, it's all right.

You're all right.

It's all right, come on.

Come on, it's all right.

What happened, huh?

What happened?

Come on.

He kept hitting me
and slapping me.

She's hysterical.

She had a nightmare.

Felicia, there's nobody here.

There's nobody here,
you're all alone.

CJ, help me get her out of here

- and down by the fire.
- Come on, come on.

- Come on.
- Come on.

Atta girl.

- You're all right.
- Grab her.

You're all right.

[sobbing]

Until we find out
what's going on here,

keep everybody together.

Don't let anybody wander
off alone, all right?

Good idea.

[thunder rumbling]

Pete, grab some cable!

The door's open!

- CJ!
- Yeah, up here!

I brought all I could find.

[thunder rumbling]

Is this gonna be enough?

It better be.

Shouldn't I go get the others?

I'll try it first.

If I make it, you will
bring the rest of 'em up.

You?

With all due respect, Doctor,

I think I should be going
over the side first.

I can make it.

Oh yeah, I'm sure you can

but we don't know how much
weight this stuff can take.

I hate to mention it but
you could afford

to lose a few pounds.

Well Pete you're my
responsibility.

I brought you all into this.

I'm not gonna risk your life.

Nobody pulled a gun on me.

I came out here on my own.

Face it, Doctor, I'm 20
years younger than you.

Come on, Doc.

You don't have to prove
anything to me, all right?

Yeah, you're right.

Okay.

Okay.

[thunder rumbling]

Easy, go slow, Pete!

Slow, Pete, slow!

[thunder rumbling]

[ominous music]

You're swaying.

Watch it, hold on!

Hold on!

Hold on, Pete!

CJ!

CJ!

I can't take this.

I can't take it!

CJ, do something!

Hold on, Pete.

Hold on!

[ominous music]

Hold on, Pete!

God help me, CJ!

[screaming]

[somber music]

Oh my God.

[ominous music]

I couldn't help him.

I tried but there was
nothing I could do.

There's Dwight, and then
the man in the kitchen,

now Pete.

This house is trying
to kill us all.

Oh God, it's not the house.

It's something in the house!

Well, that's unfortunate

because we're in here with it.

The wind came up and
the storm got worse.

And...

I tried.

And then he fell.

I'm sorry.

It was my fault.

It was a stupid thing to try.

Couldn't it just have
been the lightning

hitting the cable?

Yeah.

Yeah it had to be that.

What do you mean "It
had to be that?"

There's some other
force working here,

and I think it's about
time you admitted it.

You were always the
first one to look

for a new answer and I think

this is one hell of a
good time to start.

It had to be the lightning.

Nothing has to be anything here.

All right.

That's easy for you to say.

And then you follow it
up with nothing

but hollow theories
based on your own

overactive imagination!

And where did I get my
overactive imagination?

I sat on my dead ass in your
psych class for five years.

You rammed it down my
throat every day.

- Wait a minute!
- No, it doesn't matter.

It's just that everything
you ever accomplished

was done by exploration,

taking chances and imagination.

And if I didn't believe that,

if I didn't believe in
you, I wouldn't be here.

And neither would anyone else.

So don't tell me now

that it was a bunch of
high minded bullshit

because I know better.

I know better.

And so do you.

I guess...

I guess imagination will
have to work for us here.

I agree, professor.

[lightning crackles]

What do you know?

The generator's still working.

[cutter grinding]

Take a look at that.

The damn teeth are
almost smooth.

Yeah, rounded right off.

It's almost as though
this door was petrified.

Dwight must have had
it here braid.

- Where's the tool case?
- In the kitchen.

I'll get it.

Caroline?

Caroline?

I don't know how we're
gonna get out of here.

Come on.

CJ, do you remember what Mr.
Decker said

about this house?

The legends, the sulfur pits?

- Yeah.
- He said they dried up.

But all the disturbances ended
when the house was built.

I think Vargas knew
what he was doing.

- Caroline...
- Haven't you noticed

just as the house
closed in on us

the whole place
stinks of sulfur.

Look, I can only fight
what I believe exists.

Oh God!

That saw's not gonna work.

Nothing is gonna work.

Maybe it's not.

The lightning rods.

Lightning!

I saw lightning rods in
every peak of this house

when we drove in this morning.

If we still have enough of
Dwight's cable left to reach

in the collector to these bars,

maybe we can create an
energy field.

Generate enough heat to
try to bend them.

CJ, that's not gonna work.

Would it hurt to try?

No.

[grinding]

[screaming]

Help!

Somebody help!

Oh no!

Mary, go upstairs quickly
in the middle closet

and get something for bandages.

How can I help?

Get me a stick, a little
piece of wood, anything.

[ominous music]

- It's gonna be all right.
- CJ, I'll get my bag.

[ominous music]

[screaming]

[shrill laughing]

[shrill laughing]

[lightning crackles]

Caroline...

Caroline, it's me.

It's me.

Mary.

Oh God!

Oh.

You found her.

Did you see?

What that thing did to her...

It's the dog, it's the dog.

When am I gonna make you see?

It's something inside the dog.

I heard that thing
screaming and laughing.

- It's inside the dog.
- I can't accept that.

I can't accept that, I wish
to God I could, but I can't!

I can't.

Where are the others?

They're in the solarium.

Ray.

- Oh my God, his hand!
- I sutured it.

Big chance that he
could lose it.

Oh God.

CJ.

Oh God.

It's all right, it's
all right, it's all right.

Now try to get some rest.

[somber music]

[lightning crackles]

Theoretically it could
take out the whole wall

even if it doesn't,
this entire place

will light up like a
Christmas tree.

That should get a little
attention, if nothing else.

Jesus Christ, Raymond,
what makes you think

somebody can break in if
we can't even get out?

A little chance we're taking.

- Ray!
- We're in here.

CJ, you have any ideas
how we can get out of here?

No logical ones, I'm afraid.

Where's Mary's body?

I put it in the entrance
way by the stairs.

The dog was there but
Mary's body's gone.

[ominous music]

[lightning crackles]

CJ?

Oh my God!

You can't do this!

[screaming]

Fight back!

[screaming]

God help me!

[screaming]

I found this in the basement

but I don't remember
bringing it up here.

Where was it?

It was staying on the floor.

Vargas showed me.

Vargas?

Why am I the only one
that sees him?

You believe in God?

I covered all this
in my classes.

The psychology of religion.

Folk tales, legends.

The idea of some supreme
universal force,

endlessly at war against
devils and demons.

As something as intangible
as a human soul.

I never believed any of it.

I made cocktail party
jokes about it.

I can't believe I'm
worth all this.

There's no one in the
world exactly like you.

What about you?

And Raymond and Felicia
and the others?

Aren't they unique?

You're the one he wants.

But why me?

Why me?

I don't know.

Vargas is trying to help us,
I know.

There has to be a key
to this prison.

The diary.

Remember what you said?

The key is in the diary.

[thunder rumbling]

There's nothing but
just blank pages.

Wait, wait.

Here.

I saw an angel come
down from heaven

having the key of the
bottomless pit

and a great chain in his hand

and laid hold on the dragon,

I was certain which is
the devil and Satan,

and bound him a thousand years.

What's all that
supposed to mean?

It's Satan's return from
the depths, Revelations.

It's the devil and Satan,

and bound him a thousand years

and cast him into the
bottomless pit

and shut him up and set
a seal upon him

that he shall deceive the
nations no more

till the thousand years
should be fulfilled.

And when the thousand
years are expired,

Satan shall be loose out
of his prison.

[ominous music]

Get back!

Oh my God!

[shrill laughing]

Where are you?

Get out!

Get out of my head!

Raymond, now or what?

Laurie, get downstairs
and hook this damn cable up.

Okay!

[ominous music]

[screaming]

Laurie!

I hope you know what
you're doing.

This thing looks like it
can fry us all!

There!

I'm set.

All right.

Connect it.

You go throw the switch,
I'll fix that connection.

It's all right,
we've got enough.

No!

I'll hook it up.

I want out of here.

All right, hurry up though.

This storm's in its
height right now.

- It'll just take me a second.
- Then hurry!

[electricity buzzing]

[ominous music]

[screaming]

[ominous music]

I'm free!

[maniacal laughing]

I'm free!

I'm free!

I'm free!

I'm free!

[growling]

No!

You're not getting me!

[shrill laughing]

[ominous music]

Caroline...

Caroline, what is it?

Caroline?

I am Emilio Vargas.

What's happening?

I sacrificed the
innocent caretaker

to force you away.

You would not heed my warnings.

No, no.

I sealed the pit.

And you released the evil!

I didn't know.

I didn't know.

The key is in your hands.

Seal the pit.

Return the beast.

Do not disturb this place again.

Caroline.

Caroline, Vargas come back!

Caroline!

I need to know more, Caroline!

Caroline.

Caroline.

Did you hear the voice?

Did you hear the words?

I have to go back down there.

The prophecy was right,
wasn't it?

There's nothing else left
worse to believe in, is there?

[ominous music]

[ominous music]

1:18:47 Caroline?

Oh God.

You're okay, you're okay.

You're okay.

Come on, let me help
you back up.

The cross, where is it?

- The cross!
- What?

I can't find it.

We gotta find it.

No!

- Oh God, I'm sorry.
- It's all right.

We've gotta find it.

[shrill laughing]

Forgive me.

Forgive me, but you are an
endless source of amusement.

What is it you want?

There.

See what I mean?

After all I put you through
and you still don't know.

You did all that?

No, Mr. Arnold, you did.

You denied the warnings,
you opened the door,

and still you couldn't
accept what you've done.

You pondered the deeper meaning

of a universal power for good.

Sound familiar?

What is it you want from me?

My accounts.

I filled my accounts.

You have a will, Mr. Arnold.

Strong, sometimes misdirected,
but a will.

So you have some value
even among your kind.

By the way, where is that
piece of holy excrement?

Your cross.

It's a thing of God.

How could it come here?

Don't question me, I have
little enough patience.

That thing shall be destroyed

and you are going to
see it done.

Where is it?

[screaming]

I feed on terror, Mr. Arnold.

Your puny fears give birth to it

and you suckle it like
swine till it overcomes you.

No, I won't!

[screaming]

This can last an eternity.

It brings nothing for me,
causes me no discomfort.

I expend nothing to
hold you here

and place you in
pain far greater

than anything you could
imagine possible.

I'll snap your stubborn will.

I want that thing.

You defy me, you
insignificant speck of vomit!

[screaming]

Come here.

[screaming]

Oh God!

Oh God.

Please.

Go ahead, invoke His name.

Snivel, you filthy little scum.

Oh please let me die!

Beg!

Oh God!

There is no respite
for you here.

[ominous music]

[screaming]

[ominous music]

Caroline, the cross!

[ominous music]

See if you can find some
rope that can reach here.

[ominous music]

- Good.
- Okay.

Okay, get this end.

Bring the cross!

It's closing!

[triumphant music]
