1
00:01:58,276 --> 00:01:59,208
( whistling )

2
00:02:27,472 --> 00:02:29,906
( windchimes tinkle )

3
00:02:49,394 --> 00:02:52,227
Man: What the hell were
you thinking taking her that way?!

4
00:02:52,297 --> 00:02:55,198
- The park is the other way!
- Girl: Annie wanted...

5
00:02:55,266 --> 00:02:58,531
Man: What... what does Annie want?
I mean, Annie can't talk,

6
00:02:58,603 --> 00:03:00,696
- she can't think, she can't...
- Girl: She can think.

7
00:03:00,772 --> 00:03:02,797
If you ever
looked at her you'd know.

8
00:03:02,874 --> 00:03:05,342
Woman: Please. She's all right.
That's the main thing.

9
00:03:05,410 --> 00:03:08,470
- Can't you just stop it?
- Man: Oh, you know this?

10
00:03:08,546 --> 00:03:11,515
You know she's all right.
What if the damn dog was rabid?

11
00:03:11,583 --> 00:03:14,279
Girl: It wasn't.
Mrs. Stanton told me.

12
00:03:14,352 --> 00:03:16,980
Man: What? And you believe her?
Just like that?

13
00:03:17,055 --> 00:03:19,114
( Theme from ''A Summer Place'' )
That woman's an idiot,

14
00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:23,422
a careless idiot.
Anyone can say anything, Sissy.

15
00:03:23,494 --> 00:03:26,691
Maybe someday you'll learn that,
that anyone can say anything.

16
00:03:26,764 --> 00:03:29,130
Sissy: I saw the dog tag, Daddy.
Why do you always

17
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:34,103
- treat me like a fool?
- Woman: Stop it! Both of you.

18
00:03:34,172 --> 00:03:36,470
She'll hear.
Do you want to upset her?

19
00:03:36,541 --> 00:03:39,510
Father: Oh come on, honey,
give me a break. You might as well...

20
00:03:39,577 --> 00:03:43,138
( music blasting )

21
00:03:47,685 --> 00:03:50,017
Boy: Come on, guys!
( children laughing )

22
00:03:50,088 --> 00:03:51,680
Wait up!

23
00:04:12,777 --> 00:04:17,043
I figured you could use
something stronger. I know I could.

24
00:04:20,451 --> 00:04:22,282
Down the hatch, come on.

25
00:04:22,353 --> 00:04:24,344
It's quick, isn't it?

26
00:04:24,422 --> 00:04:28,188
What they do.
And it doesn't hurt them.

27
00:04:28,259 --> 00:04:32,696
It's quick, it doesn't hurt,
they just go to sleep.

28
00:04:32,764 --> 00:04:36,222
Come on, drink your drink.

29
00:04:36,300 --> 00:04:38,097
Woman: You know
as well as I do

30
00:04:38,169 --> 00:04:40,729
that Buddy never bit anybody
before in his life.

31
00:04:40,805 --> 00:04:42,432
It was her.

32
00:04:42,507 --> 00:04:45,533
He sensed something in her.

33
00:04:45,610 --> 00:04:48,909
( music blasting )

34
00:04:54,485 --> 00:04:57,977
Sissy: Annie,
please open the door!

35
00:04:58,056 --> 00:05:01,583
Father: Annie,
open this door, now!

36
00:05:01,659 --> 00:05:03,889
( door rattles )

37
00:05:05,229 --> 00:05:07,527
Drink your drink.
It'll make you feel better.

38
00:05:07,598 --> 00:05:11,796
I'm telling you, there's something
wrong with that little girl,

39
00:05:11,869 --> 00:05:14,201
and I don't just mean
that she's autistic.

40
00:05:14,272 --> 00:05:16,866
( humming to music )

41
00:05:22,780 --> 00:05:24,270
Sissy:
Please open the door!

42
00:05:24,348 --> 00:05:27,784
Father: Annie, turn the music down!
Somebody'll call the damn cops!

43
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,746
Mrs. Stanton:
There's something about her

44
00:05:31,823 --> 00:05:34,383
that's wrong.

45
00:05:34,459 --> 00:05:36,950
And Buddy sensed it.

46
00:05:37,028 --> 00:05:40,464
Dogs know, oh you bet.

47
00:05:40,531 --> 00:05:42,658
( rumbling )

48
00:05:42,734 --> 00:05:45,794
Did you hear that?

49
00:05:45,870 --> 00:05:47,167
Music.

50
00:05:47,238 --> 00:05:49,638
Someone has it
really cranked out there.

51
00:05:50,908 --> 00:05:53,342
( loud music continues )

52
00:05:57,115 --> 00:05:59,049
( humming )

53
00:06:01,719 --> 00:06:02,811
( rumbling )

54
00:06:02,887 --> 00:06:04,787
- Oh!
- What the hell?!

55
00:06:05,857 --> 00:06:07,154
It's an earthquake!

56
00:06:07,225 --> 00:06:09,386
It's not coming
from the ground... It's...

57
00:06:12,964 --> 00:06:16,058
( Annie sings )

58
00:06:19,137 --> 00:06:21,230
Ahh!

59
00:06:28,546 --> 00:06:30,912
Aah!

60
00:06:34,318 --> 00:06:35,410
( screaming )

61
00:06:35,486 --> 00:06:36,976
Come on! Run!

62
00:06:42,994 --> 00:06:44,723
- Mr. Stanton: Run!
- Ahh! !

63
00:06:44,796 --> 00:06:45,990
Come on, come on!

64
00:06:48,366 --> 00:06:52,063
- Sissy: Open the door.
- Father: Now, Annie!

65
00:06:54,772 --> 00:06:57,764
Come on, hurry! Hurry!

66
00:07:01,746 --> 00:07:04,180
( Mrs. Stanton screams )

67
00:07:04,248 --> 00:07:07,217
- Oh God!
- What's happening?!

68
00:07:07,285 --> 00:07:08,411
I don't know!

69
00:07:08,486 --> 00:07:10,920
Father: Annie, let us in!

70
00:07:10,988 --> 00:07:12,649
Annie!

71
00:07:12,723 --> 00:07:15,351
Sissy: Annie, please,
open the door.

72
00:07:15,426 --> 00:07:17,189
( door shaking )

73
00:07:20,731 --> 00:07:21,993
Kill it, Sissy.

74
00:07:22,066 --> 00:07:23,158
( music stops )

75
00:07:23,234 --> 00:07:25,259
Just what the hell
are you doing?

76
00:07:27,438 --> 00:07:29,702
What the...

77
00:07:32,777 --> 00:07:35,302
Sister, look at this.

78
00:07:49,093 --> 00:07:52,221
Sister, I got Baby.

79
00:07:54,732 --> 00:07:57,963
Yes, I know.

80
00:08:03,674 --> 00:08:05,608
Annie...

81
00:08:06,978 --> 00:08:08,809
what have you done?

82
00:09:10,107 --> 00:09:13,668
( crows caw )

83
00:09:19,050 --> 00:09:21,746
Woman: And that concludes

84
00:09:21,819 --> 00:09:25,687
this years' course-work
in the psychology of the unseen world.

85
00:09:27,658 --> 00:09:31,253
I would like to leave you
with three thoughts if I may.

86
00:09:31,329 --> 00:09:35,390
The first, is that the investigation
of psychic phenomena

87
00:09:35,466 --> 00:09:40,836
is an honorable pursuit, in spite
of the field's tattered reputation.

88
00:09:40,905 --> 00:09:45,399
The second, is that reality
is not always quantifiable.

89
00:09:45,476 --> 00:09:50,880
Our inability to count, weigh,
sort or photograph some things,

90
00:09:50,948 --> 00:09:54,247
does not mean that
those things are non-existent.

91
00:09:54,318 --> 00:09:57,754
Third, and most important,

92
00:09:57,822 --> 00:10:01,849
next week's exam will not
be graded on the curve.

93
00:10:01,926 --> 00:10:04,417
( laughter )

94
00:10:04,495 --> 00:10:07,623
Seriously, I thank you all
for your attention

95
00:10:07,698 --> 00:10:12,658
and to remind you of what
someone rather famous once said,

96
00:10:12,737 --> 00:10:14,830
''The truth is out there.''

97
00:10:14,905 --> 00:10:17,203
Enjoy your summer.

98
00:10:17,274 --> 00:10:19,970
Student: Professor Reardon,
a question please.

99
00:10:21,278 --> 00:10:22,438
A question.

100
00:10:23,881 --> 00:10:25,542
Your question?

101
00:10:26,617 --> 00:10:28,551
There are rumors
that you're planning

102
00:10:28,619 --> 00:10:31,179
a scientific investigation
of Rose Red this summer,

103
00:10:31,255 --> 00:10:35,055
the Rimbauer Mansion,
a sort of psychic field trip.

104
00:10:35,126 --> 00:10:36,491
Is that true?

105
00:10:37,628 --> 00:10:40,654
- You are...?
- Kevin Bollinger, Class of 'O3.

106
00:10:40,731 --> 00:10:43,723
I don't recognize you,
Mr. Bollinger.

107
00:10:43,801 --> 00:10:45,826
Is that because the group
is so large,

108
00:10:45,903 --> 00:10:50,067
or could it be that this is your
first visit to our happy family?

109
00:10:50,141 --> 00:10:51,073
( class chuckles )

110
00:10:51,142 --> 00:10:53,474
Actually, I'm a reporter
for the campus newspaper.

111
00:10:53,544 --> 00:10:57,036
Oh, my sympathies,
Mr. Bollinger.

112
00:10:57,114 --> 00:10:59,173
Kevin: Is it true,
Professor Reardon, and if it is,

113
00:10:59,250 --> 00:11:01,878
are you planning on using
departmental funds

114
00:11:01,952 --> 00:11:05,615
or college general funds
to finance your latest spook hunt?

115
00:11:07,591 --> 00:11:10,287
As any regular attendee

116
00:11:10,361 --> 00:11:12,829
of these classes will tell you,
Mr. Bollinger,

117
00:11:12,897 --> 00:11:16,264
I'm extremely interested
in Rose Red.

118
00:11:16,333 --> 00:11:19,928
I talk about it all the time.
Have a picture on my office wall,

119
00:11:20,004 --> 00:11:22,996
not to mention
one of Ellen Rimbauer.

120
00:11:23,074 --> 00:11:27,272
But as Professor Miller can tell you,
I have filed no request

121
00:11:27,344 --> 00:11:29,835
for either general funds
or money from the department

122
00:11:29,914 --> 00:11:32,542
to underwrite
what you term ''a spook hunt.''

123
00:11:33,684 --> 00:11:35,845
Reardon: If you feel like
asking him to confirm that, he's...

124
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,444
he's right up there.

125
00:11:39,056 --> 00:11:41,456
Reardon: A question of mine,
Mr. Bollinger.

126
00:11:41,525 --> 00:11:43,049
Did Professor Miller, perhaps,

127
00:11:43,127 --> 00:11:46,756
suggest you stop by my class
to pose your question

128
00:11:46,831 --> 00:11:50,198
instead of dropping by my office
like a normal reporter?

129
00:11:52,103 --> 00:11:53,968
Reardon:
Never mind, Mr. Bollinger.

130
00:11:54,038 --> 00:11:56,404
Let's consider
the issue closed, shall we?

131
00:11:56,474 --> 00:11:59,875
- But you never answered my question.
- Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

132
00:11:59,944 --> 00:12:03,311
Exam next Tuesday at 2:00
and I'll see you then.

133
00:12:12,289 --> 00:12:14,689
If I embarrassed you,
Professor Reardon, I am sorry.

134
00:12:14,758 --> 00:12:15,725
Hmm.

135
00:12:15,793 --> 00:12:18,284
I don't believe it,
Mr. Bollinger.

136
00:12:18,362 --> 00:12:21,729
Carl Miller stuck a key
in your back and wound you up.

137
00:12:21,799 --> 00:12:24,597
And it was his intention
that I be embarrassed.

138
00:12:24,668 --> 00:12:26,158
I am not.

139
00:12:26,237 --> 00:12:28,398
Even if you're not planning
on using college

140
00:12:28,472 --> 00:12:30,804
or departmental funds
for your Rose Red expedition,

141
00:12:30,875 --> 00:12:34,333
won't you be using a lot of
psychology department equipment,

142
00:12:34,411 --> 00:12:36,470
a lot of very
expensive equipment?

143
00:12:36,547 --> 00:12:38,310
Haven't you already
entered into an agreement

144
00:12:38,382 --> 00:12:41,249
with Steven Rimbauer,
the last remaining family member?

145
00:12:41,318 --> 00:12:43,343
Good afternoon,
Mr. Bollinger.

146
00:12:46,557 --> 00:12:49,082
- Girl: Hi, Professor Reardon.
- Hello.

147
00:12:52,596 --> 00:12:54,359
Man: Well, Joyce.

148
00:12:54,431 --> 00:12:56,626
- We have to discuss this.
- I think not.

149
00:12:56,700 --> 00:12:58,998
Well, we'll have
to discuss it sooner or later.

150
00:13:00,070 --> 00:13:02,595
You know, speaking for
the department, I think I can say

151
00:13:02,673 --> 00:13:06,006
our patience with your shenanigans
has grown quite short.

152
00:13:08,746 --> 00:13:11,214
Reardon: ''...spooks.

153
00:13:11,282 --> 00:13:12,340
Somebody call...''

154
00:13:12,416 --> 00:13:13,974
Pfff.

155
00:13:21,992 --> 00:13:23,823
Uh...

156
00:13:25,296 --> 00:13:27,025
( sighing )

157
00:13:28,465 --> 00:13:30,433
Oh...

158
00:13:32,903 --> 00:13:34,131
Professor Reardon?

159
00:13:34,205 --> 00:13:36,173
I was wondering
if you could discuss my...

160
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:40,142
Not now. My office hours are
clearly posted, can't you read?

161
00:13:40,211 --> 00:13:41,735
Oh. Sorry.

162
00:13:42,813 --> 00:13:44,678
Oh, um, uh, wait...

163
00:13:44,748 --> 00:13:46,841
Ms. Spruce, isn't it?

164
00:13:46,917 --> 00:13:48,214
Kathy Spruce, that's right.

165
00:13:48,285 --> 00:13:51,049
I- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bite.

166
00:13:51,121 --> 00:13:53,988
Office hours are between
2:00 and 3:00. Try me then, okay?

167
00:13:54,058 --> 00:13:55,787
Yes, Ms. Reardon.

168
00:14:47,711 --> 00:14:49,702
Out.

169
00:14:52,049 --> 00:14:53,641
Out.

170
00:14:53,717 --> 00:14:54,979
Oh...

171
00:14:55,052 --> 00:14:56,610
Far out.

172
00:15:01,392 --> 00:15:03,451
Hmm...

173
00:15:12,102 --> 00:15:14,093
( telephone rings )

174
00:15:17,308 --> 00:15:19,606
( rings )

175
00:15:22,313 --> 00:15:24,543
( rings )

176
00:15:27,351 --> 00:15:28,613
( rings )

177
00:15:29,687 --> 00:15:31,086
Waterman residence.

178
00:15:31,155 --> 00:15:34,454
Mr. Waterman, Joyce Reardon.

179
00:15:34,525 --> 00:15:37,255
Waterman:
Oh, hello, Ms. Reardon.

180
00:15:37,328 --> 00:15:39,990
I've been meaning to call,
but I've been uh...

181
00:15:40,064 --> 00:15:41,964
Reardon: Joyce, please.

182
00:15:42,032 --> 00:15:43,761
I've been kinda busy.

183
00:15:43,834 --> 00:15:47,133
Reardon: I understand, but I'm
finalizing my list of participants

184
00:15:47,204 --> 00:15:50,935
for my little Rose Red field trip,
and I 'd really like you in.

185
00:15:51,008 --> 00:15:54,466
- Have you thought about it?
- Rose Red is a dangerous place

186
00:15:54,545 --> 00:15:56,809
to conduct psychic experiments,
Ms. Reardon...

187
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,179
Joyce.
As I'm sure you must be aware.

188
00:16:00,250 --> 00:16:01,945
Reardon:
With all due respect, Emery,

189
00:16:02,019 --> 00:16:04,351
Rose Red is a dead cell.

190
00:16:04,421 --> 00:16:06,480
I'm sure it is,

191
00:16:06,557 --> 00:16:08,218
if you're not psychic.

192
00:16:10,361 --> 00:16:12,352
I'm sorry you feel that way.

193
00:16:12,429 --> 00:16:15,159
I'll just let you get back
to what you were doing, shall I,

194
00:16:15,232 --> 00:16:17,291
and move on to the next
name on my list?

195
00:16:17,368 --> 00:16:19,427
I doubt
there are that many.

196
00:16:19,503 --> 00:16:21,903
Not post-cognates
of my calibre.

197
00:16:21,972 --> 00:16:25,373
You might be surprised.
Good afternoon.

198
00:16:25,442 --> 00:16:27,239
Wait... wait... wait...

199
00:16:29,713 --> 00:16:31,374
I didn't say no, did I?

200
00:16:31,448 --> 00:16:32,847
Reardon: Didn't you?

201
00:16:32,916 --> 00:16:36,249
No.
But 5,000 is a trifle low.

202
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,311
If you were to be offering
a bit more, say...

203
00:16:38,389 --> 00:16:40,619
7,500 for instance?

204
00:16:40,691 --> 00:16:44,491
- Mr. Waterman,
- Emery, please.

205
00:16:44,561 --> 00:16:48,429
5,000 is my first,
last and only offer.

206
00:16:48,499 --> 00:16:51,127
And a generous one considering
the fact that there have been

207
00:16:51,201 --> 00:16:54,102
no phenomena in Rose Red
for five years or more.

208
00:16:54,171 --> 00:16:56,969
Since they stopped the tours
and took away the fresh meat.

209
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:58,405
Isn't that what you mean?

210
00:16:58,475 --> 00:17:01,603
Forgive me
but I find that ridiculous.

211
00:17:03,046 --> 00:17:06,641
The funding for this expedition
is coming out of my own pocket.

212
00:17:06,717 --> 00:17:08,708
And 5,000
is all I can afford.

213
00:17:08,786 --> 00:17:11,016
So what do you say, Emery?
In or out?

214
00:17:14,057 --> 00:17:16,355
All right, I'm in.
But I warn you,

215
00:17:16,427 --> 00:17:19,624
if you want a videotaped
debriefing afterward, I get extra.

216
00:17:19,696 --> 00:17:22,187
That's fine, Emery.
Memorial Day weekend.

217
00:17:22,266 --> 00:17:23,733
Mark your calendar.

218
00:17:23,801 --> 00:17:26,133
You send me a check,
Joyce, and I will.

219
00:17:26,203 --> 00:17:27,932
Good day.

220
00:17:30,107 --> 00:17:32,234
Putz.

221
00:17:57,868 --> 00:18:00,166
Poisoned...

222
00:18:04,708 --> 00:18:06,972
Guess not.

223
00:18:20,958 --> 00:18:25,452
Whispering voice: Emery...

224
00:18:33,370 --> 00:18:35,964
Hey, whoever you are,

225
00:18:36,039 --> 00:18:39,270
save the warnings
for someone who's not broke.

226
00:18:39,343 --> 00:18:41,277
Okay?

227
00:18:42,412 --> 00:18:44,073
( door opens )
Woman: Emery?

228
00:18:44,147 --> 00:18:46,877
Emery!

229
00:18:46,950 --> 00:18:48,781
( door closes )

230
00:18:57,094 --> 00:18:59,255
Emery!

231
00:19:02,733 --> 00:19:04,462
Here you are.

232
00:19:04,535 --> 00:19:07,163
There are some more bags
out in the car.

233
00:19:07,237 --> 00:19:09,705
They're going
out of business at Griffin's.

234
00:19:09,773 --> 00:19:12,071
Everything's 25% off.

235
00:19:12,142 --> 00:19:14,872
That's too much cream,
you'll make yourself fat.

236
00:19:14,945 --> 00:19:16,708
Er.

237
00:19:16,780 --> 00:19:18,270
- I beg your pardon?
- Fat-er.

238
00:19:18,348 --> 00:19:19,781
I'm already fat.

239
00:19:19,850 --> 00:19:22,375
Cream clogs up
your arteries, Emer.

240
00:19:22,419 --> 00:19:24,683
A little's okay
but that's too much.

241
00:19:24,755 --> 00:19:28,418
Get my things out of the car.
I tell you, I made a killing.

242
00:19:28,492 --> 00:19:30,824
Mom, I was doing
the bills just now.

243
00:19:30,894 --> 00:19:32,555
Well,
what about the bills?

244
00:19:32,629 --> 00:19:36,030
A lot of them are past due.
It's the credit cards, Mom...

245
00:19:36,099 --> 00:19:38,863
I'm very careful
with the credit cards.

246
00:19:38,936 --> 00:19:41,336
I'm a very wise shopper.

247
00:19:42,673 --> 00:19:44,265
I'll get your stuff.

248
00:19:45,943 --> 00:19:48,207
Isn't this
just the best bear?

249
00:19:48,278 --> 00:19:52,738
I'm gonna put him on the end
of my bed with Hester and Fester.

250
00:19:52,816 --> 00:19:54,784
What rhymes
with Hester and Fester, Emmy?

251
00:19:56,253 --> 00:19:57,982
Pester.

252
00:20:00,624 --> 00:20:02,421
The woman from the college

253
00:20:02,492 --> 00:20:04,619
who wants to investigate
Rose Red called again.

254
00:20:04,695 --> 00:20:08,688
See? Something always turns up.
God provides, I've always said so.

255
00:20:08,765 --> 00:20:10,062
Rose Red's
supposed to be dangerous.

256
00:20:10,133 --> 00:20:13,296
If you take the usual precautions
you'll be fine.

257
00:20:13,370 --> 00:20:16,771
And we'll pray, of course.
Were you able to get her up to 75?

258
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,535
No. She's financing
the expedition herself.

259
00:20:18,609 --> 00:20:22,101
Or so she told you
and you believed her, of course.

260
00:20:22,179 --> 00:20:24,443
You want to call her back?
I have the number.

261
00:20:24,514 --> 00:20:27,074
No. A deal's a deal.

262
00:20:27,150 --> 00:20:30,119
One of the few sensible things
your father ever said.

263
00:20:30,187 --> 00:20:32,985
Did you tell her it would be
extra for interviews after?

264
00:20:33,056 --> 00:20:34,523
- Physicals? EKG's?
- Yes.

265
00:20:34,591 --> 00:20:37,059
And no X-rays.
They give you cancer.

266
00:20:38,762 --> 00:20:41,890
Now run along and get my bags.
Then you can have your pie.

267
00:20:41,965 --> 00:20:43,626
( door slams )

268
00:21:01,952 --> 00:21:03,715
( loud knocking )

269
00:21:03,787 --> 00:21:06,654
Office hours are over.
Come back tomorrow.

270
00:21:06,723 --> 00:21:08,315
( knocking )

271
00:21:08,392 --> 00:21:10,986
- I said office hou...
- Extra credit, Ms. Reardon.

272
00:21:11,061 --> 00:21:13,621
I'll do anything,
look good in a bathing suit,

273
00:21:13,697 --> 00:21:16,188
look great in one of those
French maid's outfits.

274
00:21:16,266 --> 00:21:19,235
Come in, you idiot,
and close the door.

275
00:21:19,302 --> 00:21:20,701
All right.

276
00:21:20,771 --> 00:21:22,966
Teach, you're looking good today.

277
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,304
- Ooh...
- Mmm.

278
00:21:25,375 --> 00:21:27,138
The idiot wants to know
how you're doing.

279
00:21:27,210 --> 00:21:29,644
Well, I won't lie to you,
it's been a tough day.

280
00:21:29,713 --> 00:21:31,510
But I have a very
important call to make.

281
00:21:31,581 --> 00:21:33,549
- Oh...
- So...

282
00:21:33,617 --> 00:21:36,484
What, this is the Wheaton girl?
The one you really want?

283
00:21:36,553 --> 00:21:39,681
Her sister. If you can sit there
and keep quiet you can stay.

284
00:21:39,756 --> 00:21:42,054
But if you feel an attack
of monkeyshines coming on,

285
00:21:42,125 --> 00:21:43,558
then go. Get out now.

286
00:21:43,627 --> 00:21:45,356
That's pretty
tough talk considering

287
00:21:45,429 --> 00:21:48,421
it's my old family's homestead
you want to go exploring in.

288
00:21:48,498 --> 00:21:50,523
But...
I'll be good, Dee, I swear.

289
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,727
( bell chimes )
I won't do that, sorry.

290
00:22:04,181 --> 00:22:06,581
( phone rings )

291
00:22:06,650 --> 00:22:08,584
Hello? Ms. Reardon?

292
00:22:08,652 --> 00:22:10,779
Yes, how are you?

293
00:22:10,854 --> 00:22:12,913
Sissy: I'm all right.
But you know how hard it is

294
00:22:12,989 --> 00:22:15,549
to keep people away
from a phone in this place?

295
00:22:15,625 --> 00:22:18,890
Also I'm on my break,
so let's make this fast.

296
00:22:18,962 --> 00:22:19,929
Reardon: Uh...

297
00:22:19,996 --> 00:22:21,258
I could call you later.

298
00:22:21,331 --> 00:22:23,925
Sissy: No, I don't think so.
I still live at home

299
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,127
to be near Annie and...

300
00:22:26,203 --> 00:22:29,400
my father knows who you are
and what you want.

301
00:22:29,473 --> 00:22:31,338
He doesn't approve.

302
00:22:31,408 --> 00:22:34,275
What are you saying?
Annie won't take part?

303
00:22:34,344 --> 00:22:38,337
Sissy: I'm saying that
if I bring Annie to Rose Red...

304
00:22:38,415 --> 00:22:43,114
the chances are good that
I could never go home again.

305
00:22:43,186 --> 00:22:45,586
That'd be all right with me but,

306
00:22:45,655 --> 00:22:48,715
Annie shouldn't be there without
someone who understands her.

307
00:22:48,792 --> 00:22:50,589
Mm-hmm. And...
and your parents don't?

308
00:22:50,660 --> 00:22:51,627
Sissy: Well...

309
00:22:51,695 --> 00:22:54,960
my mother's
scared to death of her and,

310
00:22:55,031 --> 00:22:57,761
my father...

311
00:22:57,834 --> 00:22:59,961
I think my father hates her.

312
00:23:00,036 --> 00:23:02,266
What can I do?

313
00:23:02,339 --> 00:23:07,038
There's a school just outside
of Tacoma for people like Annie.

314
00:23:08,311 --> 00:23:11,439
No, there's no one
like Annie I don't think...

315
00:23:11,515 --> 00:23:13,483
but...

316
00:23:13,550 --> 00:23:18,214
it's a place for autistic teenagers.
A good place.

317
00:23:20,857 --> 00:23:23,325
I might as well cut right
to the chase, Ms. Reardon,

318
00:23:23,393 --> 00:23:26,260
5,000 isn't gonna be enough.

319
00:23:26,329 --> 00:23:28,889
If you can promise 10
I might try to make this happen.

320
00:23:28,965 --> 00:23:33,368
10,000 done. I... I'll bring
the check to you myself.

321
00:23:33,436 --> 00:23:36,234
This afternoon.
Where... where do you work?

322
00:23:36,306 --> 00:23:40,572
No, you need to slow down.
I need to think about this.

323
00:23:40,644 --> 00:23:44,774
Reardon: Look, my time is short,
Ms. Wheaton.

324
00:23:44,848 --> 00:23:48,477
Please, call me Sister,
why don't you? Everyone does.

325
00:23:48,552 --> 00:23:51,646
Mr. Rimbauer has agreed to open
Rose Red for my group

326
00:23:51,721 --> 00:23:55,521
over the Memorial Day weekend.
It's only nine days away.

327
00:23:55,592 --> 00:23:57,651
I need to know if
I can count on Annie.

328
00:23:57,727 --> 00:24:01,925
In fact I'm having an orientation
meeting this Monday night,

329
00:24:01,998 --> 00:24:05,525
for the participants here
in Wimser Hall at the University.

330
00:24:05,602 --> 00:24:08,935
It would be great
if Annie could join us.

331
00:24:09,005 --> 00:24:13,533
You understand that if Annie goes
to Rose Red I go too, don't you?

332
00:24:13,610 --> 00:24:16,272
Reardon: That...
that's fine, of course.

333
00:24:16,346 --> 00:24:18,541
When can I know,
Ms. Wheaton? Uh, Sister.

334
00:24:18,615 --> 00:24:22,676
I... I might be able
to scrape up as much as $12,000

335
00:24:22,752 --> 00:24:25,619
if uh, that is,

336
00:24:25,689 --> 00:24:29,181
if you can make a solid commitment
to the expedition right now.

337
00:24:29,259 --> 00:24:31,124
I can't do that.

338
00:24:32,195 --> 00:24:33,924
- Goodbye, Mrs. Reardon.
- Reardon: Wait!

339
00:24:33,997 --> 00:24:36,022
When can I expect
to hear from you?

340
00:24:36,099 --> 00:24:38,192
- I'll be in touch.
- Wait! The... the...

341
00:24:38,268 --> 00:24:39,895
orientation Monday night?

342
00:24:39,970 --> 00:24:42,438
I don't know... it...

343
00:24:42,505 --> 00:24:45,133
I don't think so.

344
00:24:45,208 --> 00:24:47,403
Ohh.
( dial tone )

345
00:24:48,511 --> 00:24:52,379
$10,000?
$12,000? You know, I'm... I'm

346
00:24:52,449 --> 00:24:54,644
starting to think that I sold
the old homestead cheap.

347
00:24:54,718 --> 00:24:58,745
You didn't sell it, you're renting it.
For a single weekend.

348
00:25:00,557 --> 00:25:02,718
I've gotta have Annie Wheaton.

349
00:25:02,792 --> 00:25:04,919
Why?

350
00:25:04,995 --> 00:25:07,327
I've got the makings of a good
group here, but they're candles.

351
00:25:07,397 --> 00:25:09,957
Annie Wheaton
is a searchlight.

352
00:25:11,067 --> 00:25:14,093
If anyone can wake up Rose Red,
she is the one.

353
00:25:14,170 --> 00:25:15,364
I told you before, Dee,

354
00:25:15,438 --> 00:25:17,565
waking up Rose Red
isn't a good idea.

355
00:25:17,641 --> 00:25:20,508
I want Annie.
I want Annie Wheaton.

356
00:25:20,577 --> 00:25:23,205
( creaking )

357
00:25:28,685 --> 00:25:30,482
Hello, dear.

358
00:25:30,553 --> 00:25:32,453
Hey, Mom. Hi, Dad.

359
00:25:32,522 --> 00:25:35,320
Mrs. Wheaton:
Long day? You look tired.

360
00:25:35,392 --> 00:25:37,292
I'll microwave you
a TV dinner.

361
00:25:37,360 --> 00:25:40,989
It's okay. I had something
to eat at the restaurant.

362
00:25:42,065 --> 00:25:43,430
Is Annie okay?

363
00:25:45,969 --> 00:25:49,530
- Annie is fine.
- Yeah, wearing out her ears again.

364
00:25:49,606 --> 00:25:50,698
Not to mention ours.

365
00:25:50,774 --> 00:25:53,368
If it isn't ''A Summer Place''
it's that other crap.

366
00:25:53,443 --> 00:25:55,343
''Pennsylvania 69,000''
and ''In The Mood.''

367
00:25:55,412 --> 00:25:58,245
Same two, over and over
all afternoon.

368
00:25:58,315 --> 00:26:00,840
- I guess she just likes it.
- Mr. Wheaton: Yeah, I know that.

369
00:26:00,917 --> 00:26:03,317
I just can't
figure out why.

370
00:26:04,521 --> 00:26:06,455
( ''In The Mood'' plays )

371
00:26:08,291 --> 00:26:10,486
( whispering )

372
00:26:16,933 --> 00:26:18,525
( music stops )

373
00:26:23,206 --> 00:26:25,504
Thank God for small favors.

374
00:26:29,079 --> 00:26:30,808
( whispering )
Annie...

375
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,577
Annie... come...

376
00:26:51,801 --> 00:26:53,792
( whispering continues )

377
00:27:28,905 --> 00:27:31,772
Reardon: Despite what
some people may think,

378
00:27:31,841 --> 00:27:34,776
psychic powers...
telepathy,

379
00:27:34,844 --> 00:27:38,280
telekinesis, precognition,
all the rest,

380
00:27:38,348 --> 00:27:40,578
have no moral gradient.

381
00:27:40,650 --> 00:27:43,448
They are neither good
nor bad.

382
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,920
Houses are different.

383
00:27:45,989 --> 00:27:48,082
Shirley Jackson was right.

384
00:27:48,158 --> 00:27:50,524
Some houses are born bad.

385
00:27:52,629 --> 00:27:53,596
Houses like this one.

386
00:27:56,466 --> 00:27:58,525
Houses like Rose Red.

387
00:27:58,601 --> 00:28:00,432
I knew it was big,

388
00:28:00,503 --> 00:28:03,028
but that's enormous.

389
00:28:04,707 --> 00:28:06,641
Reardon: Fortunately for us,

390
00:28:06,709 --> 00:28:09,075
an enormous dead cell.

391
00:28:09,145 --> 00:28:12,808
There have been no overt
manifestations in Rose Red

392
00:28:12,882 --> 00:28:14,543
since 1 995 or so.

393
00:28:16,219 --> 00:28:18,153
I believe that some houses

394
00:28:18,221 --> 00:28:20,280
have their own inner life

395
00:28:20,356 --> 00:28:22,586
that may or may not
be conscious.

396
00:28:22,659 --> 00:28:25,389
If there was once consciousness
in Rose Red,

397
00:28:25,462 --> 00:28:28,397
it manifested itself early.

398
00:28:28,465 --> 00:28:32,094
The Seattle of 100 years ago
was a different world,

399
00:28:32,168 --> 00:28:34,932
more different than
any of us can imagine.

400
00:28:35,004 --> 00:28:37,905
Survival was an actual issue,

401
00:28:37,974 --> 00:28:39,965
not a TV show.

402
00:28:40,043 --> 00:28:43,137
Fortunes were made,
often by bandits in tall hats.

403
00:28:43,213 --> 00:28:45,738
You could get out of the way
or get run down.

404
00:28:45,815 --> 00:28:47,715
Those were the options.

405
00:28:47,784 --> 00:28:50,947
In the year 1906,
you were on your own.

406
00:28:52,655 --> 00:28:54,247
Rose Red...

407
00:28:54,324 --> 00:28:57,088
was built by John P. Rimbauer

408
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,493
at the top of Spring Street
in the center of Seattle,

409
00:29:00,563 --> 00:29:03,999
as a wedding present
to his wife.

410
00:29:04,067 --> 00:29:07,264
Rimbauer was founder
of Omicron Oil Company, until 1950

411
00:29:07,337 --> 00:29:09,965
the biggest oil company
in America.

412
00:29:10,039 --> 00:29:12,200
1950 was the year

413
00:29:12,275 --> 00:29:14,334
Ellen Rimbauer disappeared.

414
00:29:14,410 --> 00:29:16,810
The trouble with Rose Red

415
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,542
started even before
there was a house.

416
00:29:22,152 --> 00:29:25,053
Construction crews worked
24 hours a day,

417
00:29:25,121 --> 00:29:28,181
seven days a week.
But that wasn't the problem.

418
00:29:29,292 --> 00:29:32,693
The problem was that even before
there was a house there,

419
00:29:32,762 --> 00:29:35,595
that piece of ground
made people mad.

420
00:29:35,665 --> 00:29:37,656
Literally mad.

421
00:29:39,369 --> 00:29:41,860
The Teamster made no effort
to get away,

422
00:29:41,938 --> 00:29:46,170
just dropped the gun in his wagon
and went down to a Seattle saloon,

423
00:29:46,242 --> 00:29:49,234
which was where
the police found him.

424
00:29:59,422 --> 00:30:02,255
The Teamster's name
was Harry Corbin.

425
00:30:02,325 --> 00:30:04,350
When he was tried,
he claimed

426
00:30:04,427 --> 00:30:06,395
he remembered nothing
from breakfast

427
00:30:06,462 --> 00:30:10,057
till the time he woke up in jail
with a knot behind his ear.

428
00:30:10,133 --> 00:30:12,966
The judge didn't believe him,
neither did the jury.

429
00:30:13,036 --> 00:30:14,765
He got 25 years.

430
00:30:14,837 --> 00:30:16,896
I think Harry Corbin

431
00:30:16,973 --> 00:30:20,067
may have been Rose Red's
first victim.

432
00:30:20,143 --> 00:30:22,338
First male victim.

433
00:30:22,412 --> 00:30:26,109
There has always been a difference
between the way Rose Red

434
00:30:26,182 --> 00:30:28,116
treats the ladies
and the gentlemen.

435
00:30:29,385 --> 00:30:32,320
- What do you mean, exactly?
- In time, Nick.

436
00:30:32,388 --> 00:30:34,652
All in good time.

437
00:30:35,792 --> 00:30:38,352
John Rimbauer
and Ellen Gilchrist

438
00:30:38,428 --> 00:30:40,555
were married
on November 12, 1907.

439
00:30:40,630 --> 00:30:43,758
He was 40 and she...

440
00:30:43,833 --> 00:30:45,391
was 20.

441
00:30:45,468 --> 00:30:47,402
By the day they said
their I do's,

442
00:30:47,470 --> 00:30:50,371
Rose Red had been
under construction for a year.

443
00:30:51,441 --> 00:30:53,671
Already there had been
three deaths,

444
00:30:53,743 --> 00:30:56,712
in addition to the murder
of Rimbauer's first foreman.

445
00:30:56,779 --> 00:30:58,713
Pick it up!

446
00:31:10,260 --> 00:31:12,421
Reardon: One man
was decapitated

447
00:31:12,495 --> 00:31:14,622
by a sheet
of falling glass.

448
00:31:18,268 --> 00:31:21,135
Another fell from a scaffold
and broke his neck.

449
00:31:21,204 --> 00:31:23,138
And the third...

450
00:31:23,206 --> 00:31:25,231
choked to death
on a piece of apple.

451
00:31:27,477 --> 00:31:30,241
This is the way
Rose Red looked

452
00:31:30,313 --> 00:31:32,508
when it was completed
in 1909.

453
00:31:32,582 --> 00:31:35,642
In case your memory
needs refreshing,

454
00:31:35,718 --> 00:31:38,380
this is the way
it looks today.

455
00:31:40,790 --> 00:31:43,623
It's as if it metastasized.

456
00:31:43,693 --> 00:31:45,354
Rose Red has how many rooms?

457
00:31:45,428 --> 00:31:48,363
- No one really knows.
- Man: On Monday you can count

458
00:31:48,431 --> 00:31:52,663
7 4 and come back on Friday
and come up with 8 7 or 9 7.

459
00:31:52,735 --> 00:31:54,862
That's impossible,
isn't it?

460
00:31:54,937 --> 00:31:56,370
That's Rose Red, sweetheart.

461
00:31:56,439 --> 00:31:58,202
Nick: How many people
have disappeared?

462
00:31:58,274 --> 00:32:00,606
There must be
an accurate account of them.

463
00:32:00,677 --> 00:32:03,544
23 since the end
of the first World War.

464
00:32:04,614 --> 00:32:06,605
Emery:
You'll forgive me if I say

465
00:32:06,683 --> 00:32:08,446
I find that impossible
to believe.

466
00:32:08,518 --> 00:32:10,645
Reardon: Of course you do.
Anyone would.

467
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,654
But I assure you it's true.

468
00:32:12,722 --> 00:32:15,782
Five men and 18 women.

469
00:32:15,858 --> 00:32:19,294
Rose Red has always been
particularly fond of the ladies.

470
00:32:20,630 --> 00:32:22,689
Remember we're speaking
of a house

471
00:32:22,765 --> 00:32:25,199
- which has fallen dormant.
- Woman: It better be,

472
00:32:25,268 --> 00:32:28,101
because $5,000 isn't enough
if it isn't.

473
00:32:30,239 --> 00:32:32,833
- When was the last disappearance?
- Reardon: 1972,

474
00:32:32,909 --> 00:32:35,343
almost 30 years ago.
As I said before,

475
00:32:35,411 --> 00:32:38,403
there have been no
observable phenomena since...

476
00:32:38,481 --> 00:32:40,847
- Who was the last one?
- Reardon: Pam...

477
00:32:40,917 --> 00:32:44,216
We've got a lot to cover,
we don't need to focus on...

478
00:32:44,287 --> 00:32:47,256
A woman on the Historical Society's
annual tour.

479
00:32:47,323 --> 00:32:49,883
She was with the group
when they went upstairs.

480
00:32:53,763 --> 00:32:56,129
It wasn't until
the tour was over

481
00:32:56,199 --> 00:32:59,100
that they realized
she wasn't with them anymore.

482
00:33:09,445 --> 00:33:10,935
Officer: What's that?

483
00:33:11,013 --> 00:33:13,948
Man: They didn't find her,
but they found her purse.

484
00:33:15,618 --> 00:33:17,085
Reardon: Finished?

485
00:33:17,153 --> 00:33:18,711
Yeah.

486
00:33:19,822 --> 00:33:21,517
Thank you.

487
00:33:21,591 --> 00:33:24,389
The lady's name
was Liza Albert.

488
00:33:24,460 --> 00:33:27,691
Since her disappearance,
the house has been closed to tours.

489
00:33:27,764 --> 00:33:30,562
With no psychic energy
for the house to feed on,

490
00:33:30,633 --> 00:33:33,397
it seems to have fallen
into a sleep, then a coma.

491
00:33:33,469 --> 00:33:35,994
- And now...
- It's a dead cell.

492
00:33:36,072 --> 00:33:37,471
Reardon: Exactly.

493
00:33:37,540 --> 00:33:40,100
I wouldn't bet on that
if I were you.

494
00:33:40,176 --> 00:33:43,509
Reardon: Rose Red wasn't finished
when John and Ellen got married,

495
00:33:43,579 --> 00:33:46,548
but they weren't in a hurry
to set up housekeeping.

496
00:33:46,616 --> 00:33:50,313
They passed the time with
an enormous, leisurely honeymoon.

497
00:33:50,386 --> 00:33:52,251
They were gone a year.

498
00:33:52,321 --> 00:33:55,813
They circled the globe
on liners like this one...

499
00:33:56,926 --> 00:33:58,985
The Ocean Star.

500
00:33:59,061 --> 00:34:03,259
John Rimbauer's favorite part
of the tour was Africa.

501
00:34:05,535 --> 00:34:08,504
Ellen didn't enjoy it
quite as much.

502
00:34:08,571 --> 00:34:11,301
In fact,
she nearly died.

503
00:34:34,230 --> 00:34:37,358
- Was it malaria?
- Reardon: Probably not.

504
00:34:37,433 --> 00:34:39,663
In her diary she called it

505
00:34:39,735 --> 00:34:41,669
''an unmentionable disease

506
00:34:41,737 --> 00:34:44,228
carried by men
and suffered by women.''

507
00:34:47,310 --> 00:34:50,473
Doesn't exactly look prostrate
with worry, does he?

508
00:34:50,546 --> 00:34:53,106
With or without him,
Ellen recovered.

509
00:34:53,182 --> 00:34:56,310
When she and John finally
took up residence in Rose Red,

510
00:34:56,385 --> 00:34:58,148
she was pregnant.

511
00:34:58,221 --> 00:35:01,349
January, 1909,
that would have been.

512
00:35:01,424 --> 00:35:04,257
John thought
the house was finished.

513
00:35:11,601 --> 00:35:13,398
They're here!

514
00:35:34,357 --> 00:35:37,292
How beautiful you are,
Rose Red.

515
00:35:47,870 --> 00:35:51,237
Reardon: He didn't know
that the house would never be done.

516
00:35:52,408 --> 00:35:55,400
Not in his lifetime,
not in hers.

517
00:35:56,612 --> 00:35:59,638
What makes Rose Red

518
00:35:59,715 --> 00:36:03,651
one of the world's most
fascinating psychic artifacts...

519
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,619
is that the house
continued to grow

520
00:36:05,688 --> 00:36:08,987
until its death
in 1995 or 1996.

521
00:36:09,058 --> 00:36:12,755
Until 1950 changes
and additions were made

522
00:36:12,828 --> 00:36:15,092
according to the will
of Ellen Rimbauer,

523
00:36:15,164 --> 00:36:18,327
and her will,
ladies and gentlemen, was iron.

524
00:36:20,136 --> 00:36:22,001
After 1950...

525
00:36:25,608 --> 00:36:27,371
after 1950...

526
00:36:27,443 --> 00:36:30,378
Rose Red grew on its own.

527
00:36:34,684 --> 00:36:36,549
( whispering )

528
00:36:57,139 --> 00:36:59,004
( baby crying )

529
00:37:00,610 --> 00:37:03,170
Reardon:
In the fall of 1909,

530
00:37:03,245 --> 00:37:06,009
Ellen Rimbauer
gave birth to a son.

531
00:37:06,082 --> 00:37:07,606
Grampy.

532
00:37:07,683 --> 00:37:10,117
- Your grandfather, really.
- Yeah.

533
00:37:10,186 --> 00:37:11,744
I'm afraid so.

534
00:37:12,855 --> 00:37:15,688
In her diary she wrote,
''I have called him Adam,

535
00:37:15,758 --> 00:37:17,885
for he is the first.''

536
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:21,726
Sukeena, the woman who came back
from Africa with her,

537
00:37:21,797 --> 00:37:24,527
saw her through
the difficult labor.

538
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,694
In her diary, Ellen never refers
to Sukeena as her servant.

539
00:37:28,971 --> 00:37:31,269
First she calls her,
''my friend.''

540
00:37:31,340 --> 00:37:33,274
Later, ''my sister.''

541
00:37:33,342 --> 00:37:37,108
When Ellen gave birth
to a daughter with a withered arm,

542
00:37:37,179 --> 00:37:39,272
she blamed
her African sickness

543
00:37:39,348 --> 00:37:41,509
and her husband's
sexual appetites,

544
00:37:41,584 --> 00:37:43,381
although she wrote,

545
00:37:43,452 --> 00:37:46,546
''In my mind they are one,''
to which she added,

546
00:37:46,622 --> 00:37:48,715
''Damn all men.''

547
00:37:48,791 --> 00:37:52,454
John and Ellen's daughter
was born in April of 1911 .

548
00:37:52,528 --> 00:37:55,190
And April was what
they called her.

549
00:37:58,567 --> 00:38:01,365
In the years following
the birth of Ellen's daughter,

550
00:38:01,437 --> 00:38:03,735
Ellen became convinced
that her fever,

551
00:38:03,806 --> 00:38:07,264
which recurred periodically,
would kill her young.

552
00:38:07,343 --> 00:38:10,870
That made her easy game
for Madame Stravinsky,

553
00:38:10,946 --> 00:38:12,413
as she called herself.

554
00:38:12,481 --> 00:38:15,109
If you have anything
to say to us,

555
00:38:15,184 --> 00:38:17,846
you may use my body...

556
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:19,945
to speak.

557
00:38:22,258 --> 00:38:24,692
Stravinsky: Give us a sign.

558
00:38:27,430 --> 00:38:29,796
Show us a sign.

559
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:32,695
Reardon: Not even Sukeena

560
00:38:32,768 --> 00:38:35,760
could convince her
that the old lady was a fraud.

561
00:38:35,838 --> 00:38:37,635
Stravinsky: Beloved spirits,

562
00:38:37,707 --> 00:38:41,074
we invite you
to commune with us.

563
00:38:43,979 --> 00:38:46,277
Show us a sign.

564
00:38:47,817 --> 00:38:49,682
Reardon: Fraud or not,

565
00:38:49,752 --> 00:38:51,583
Madame Stravinsky,

566
00:38:51,654 --> 00:38:54,521
known to police in San Francisco
and Los Angeles

567
00:38:54,590 --> 00:38:56,683
as Cora Fry,

568
00:38:56,759 --> 00:38:59,091
changed
Ellen Rimbauer's life

569
00:38:59,161 --> 00:39:00,958
one night
in August of 1914.

570
00:39:28,791 --> 00:39:29,780
Sukeena!

571
00:39:32,428 --> 00:39:35,397
- You must build.
- What did she tell her?

572
00:39:35,464 --> 00:39:38,490
Rimbauer: That Great-Gram wouldn't
die until the house was finished.

573
00:39:38,567 --> 00:39:42,367
Great-Gram told her it was finished,
and Madame S. told her,

574
00:39:42,438 --> 00:39:45,601
''It isn't finished
until you say it's finished.''

575
00:39:45,674 --> 00:39:48,302
''Until you say.''

576
00:39:49,912 --> 00:39:52,540
Ellen took it seriously,

577
00:39:52,615 --> 00:39:55,550
probably she was right to.

578
00:39:55,618 --> 00:39:57,347
Everything else aside,

579
00:39:57,419 --> 00:40:00,286
she never had another attack
of her African fever.

580
00:40:00,356 --> 00:40:03,848
- It was probably psychosomatic.
- Just PMS, right, Em?

581
00:40:03,926 --> 00:40:05,791
I wouldn't be at all surprised.

582
00:40:05,861 --> 00:40:09,763
A new wing, the first of many,
started going up the next week.

583
00:40:09,832 --> 00:40:12,062
What did her husband
say about that?

584
00:40:12,134 --> 00:40:14,398
Rimbauer: Nothing,
she gave him a son in 1909,

585
00:40:14,470 --> 00:40:16,700
a daughter in 1911 .
She had a withered arm,

586
00:40:16,772 --> 00:40:19,673
but the son was fine.
It was the son John Rimbauer

587
00:40:19,742 --> 00:40:23,337
cared about. In his mind Ellen
had fulfilled her function,

588
00:40:23,412 --> 00:40:25,539
and could do what she liked.
Would you agree?

589
00:40:26,882 --> 00:40:29,476
Yes. Besides...

590
00:40:31,220 --> 00:40:34,155
he had affairs of his own
to tend to.

591
00:40:38,327 --> 00:40:41,524
Ellen continued to make
additions to the house

592
00:40:41,597 --> 00:40:44,191
until her disappearance
in 1950.

593
00:40:44,266 --> 00:40:47,531
Over 40 years
of well-financed eccentricity.

594
00:40:47,603 --> 00:40:50,367
When she ran out of
conventional things to build,

595
00:40:50,439 --> 00:40:53,169
she hired contractors
and architects to build

596
00:40:53,242 --> 00:40:55,233
- unconventional stuff.
- Such as...?

597
00:40:55,311 --> 00:40:58,041
Reardon: The so-called
tower folly

598
00:40:58,113 --> 00:41:00,047
was completed in 1921 .

599
00:41:00,115 --> 00:41:03,482
John Rimbauer jumped to his death
from it two years later.

600
00:41:03,552 --> 00:41:04,951
Was it suicide...

601
00:41:06,522 --> 00:41:09,355
or did he run into something
he couldn't deal with?

602
00:41:09,425 --> 00:41:12,861
The certificate said
accidental death.

603
00:41:12,928 --> 00:41:15,123
The gossip said
suicide or ghosts.

604
00:41:15,197 --> 00:41:17,791
In any case,
during its active years,

605
00:41:17,867 --> 00:41:19,926
and they were very active,

606
00:41:20,002 --> 00:41:23,665
women in Rose Red
tended to turn up missing,

607
00:41:23,739 --> 00:41:26,435
and men tended
to turn up dead.

608
00:41:26,508 --> 00:41:29,341
- The bad days are over.
- Reardon: Yes.

609
00:41:29,411 --> 00:41:30,639
Indeed.

610
00:41:30,713 --> 00:41:32,203
Are you sure?

611
00:41:32,281 --> 00:41:34,112
Positive.

612
00:41:34,183 --> 00:41:37,482
Then what do you want
from us, Ms. Reardon?

613
00:41:43,926 --> 00:41:47,987
First off, let's all get on
a first-name basis, shall we?

614
00:41:48,063 --> 00:41:50,463
That will make things
less difficult.

615
00:41:50,532 --> 00:41:52,329
This can be...

616
00:41:52,401 --> 00:41:54,369
a difficult field.

617
00:41:54,436 --> 00:41:57,303
People either don't understand
our goals,

618
00:41:57,373 --> 00:42:00,536
or refuse to credit
our findings.

619
00:42:00,609 --> 00:42:04,136
Some people
are actively cruel.

620
00:42:06,148 --> 00:42:07,672
And...

621
00:42:09,685 --> 00:42:11,550
Research goals?

622
00:42:12,655 --> 00:42:14,088
Yes, yes.

623
00:42:14,156 --> 00:42:16,716
My research goals...

624
00:42:16,792 --> 00:42:19,818
specify measurable
psychic phenomena.

625
00:42:19,895 --> 00:42:22,523
Hard data in other words.
Telemetry readouts...

626
00:42:22,598 --> 00:42:25,931
and anomalous energy levels,
primarily.

627
00:42:26,001 --> 00:42:29,334
I want readouts
that even the most...

628
00:42:29,405 --> 00:42:33,034
stupid, sarcastic,
obtuse member

629
00:42:33,108 --> 00:42:36,908
of this so-called scientific
department will have to accept.

630
00:42:36,979 --> 00:42:40,415
If I get a little crazy
on the subject

631
00:42:40,482 --> 00:42:42,950
from time to time,
please forgive me.

632
00:42:43,018 --> 00:42:45,282
I've put in a lot
of long days.

633
00:42:45,354 --> 00:42:47,788
If Rose Red is a dead cell,

634
00:42:47,856 --> 00:42:50,791
how much proof can you expect
to find there?

635
00:42:50,859 --> 00:42:52,918
Reardon:
If you apply electricity

636
00:42:52,995 --> 00:42:55,520
to the muscles in the leg
of a dead frog,

637
00:42:55,597 --> 00:42:58,828
the muscles will contract
hours after the frog has died.

638
00:42:58,901 --> 00:43:02,837
You people are my psychic
equivalent of electricity.

639
00:43:02,905 --> 00:43:05,305
My goal is modest...

640
00:43:05,374 --> 00:43:07,535
a single twitch.

641
00:43:08,610 --> 00:43:11,374
One single twitch.

642
00:43:11,447 --> 00:43:13,779
If I get it...

643
00:43:13,849 --> 00:43:17,341
my reputation will be secure
for the rest of my life.

644
00:43:18,454 --> 00:43:20,081
More importantly,

645
00:43:20,155 --> 00:43:23,147
together we can legitimize
a branch of psychology

646
00:43:23,225 --> 00:43:26,717
which has been treated as
a poor relation for far too long.

647
00:43:26,795 --> 00:43:28,956
What are you doing here,
Mr. Rimbauer?

648
00:43:29,031 --> 00:43:30,965
What are your special talents?

649
00:43:31,033 --> 00:43:34,298
Just protecting the family interests.
I promised the professor

650
00:43:34,370 --> 00:43:37,669
one good shot at the mansion
and then the developers await.

651
00:43:37,740 --> 00:43:40,436
Tech-Star Condominiums,
the future.

652
00:43:40,509 --> 00:43:44,036
You're gonna let them tear it down?
It's a piece of history.

653
00:43:44,113 --> 00:43:46,411
History don't pay no rent
and the kid is broke.

654
00:43:46,482 --> 00:43:48,279
Hardly the most noble
of motives.

655
00:43:48,350 --> 00:43:51,751
Are we the team?
The whole team?

656
00:43:51,820 --> 00:43:54,880
- She hopes not.
- Beg your pardon?

657
00:43:55,958 --> 00:43:59,587
I was hoping for one more,
but that's looking iffy.

658
00:43:59,661 --> 00:44:03,222
If I have to make do
with you five,

659
00:44:03,298 --> 00:44:05,766
then I'll count myself lucky.

660
00:44:05,834 --> 00:44:09,270
I'll see you this Friday
at 2:00 p.m. sharp.

661
00:44:09,338 --> 00:44:12,432
I'm sure it will be
a Memorial Day weekend to remember.

662
00:44:13,509 --> 00:44:16,205
If you could
all please join me...

663
00:44:16,278 --> 00:44:18,746
I'd like to close
with a circle.

664
00:44:32,261 --> 00:44:34,786
This sort of thing went out
with high-buttoned shoes.

665
00:44:34,863 --> 00:44:38,663
Joyce, is there anything
you'd like us to focus on?

666
00:44:38,734 --> 00:44:41,430
Good will, good thoughts,
each other.

667
00:44:41,503 --> 00:44:43,437
- That's lovely.
- Thanks.

668
00:44:43,505 --> 00:44:44,529
Say cheese.

669
00:44:48,210 --> 00:44:50,178
Vic, are you okay?

670
00:44:51,647 --> 00:44:53,478
Fine.

671
00:44:55,217 --> 00:44:57,515
I'm gonna go make some room.

672
00:45:02,257 --> 00:45:05,283
He looks a bit gray
about the gills.

673
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:06,725
No, no.

674
00:45:06,795 --> 00:45:10,026
Maybe half a glass,
but no more.

675
00:45:20,742 --> 00:45:22,607
Man:
Just a minute, please.

676
00:45:53,809 --> 00:45:56,642
TV: The Huskies were caught
off guard by the weak-side blitz.

677
00:45:56,712 --> 00:46:00,307
The linebacker starts to drop back,
and then rushes the quarterback.

678
00:46:00,382 --> 00:46:01,974
( phone ringing )

679
00:46:03,785 --> 00:46:05,343
Y-ello.

680
00:46:05,420 --> 00:46:08,912
Hello. I'd like to speak
with Rachel. Is she there?

681
00:46:08,991 --> 00:46:11,789
- Who is this?
- I'd like to speak with Rachel.

682
00:46:11,860 --> 00:46:15,421
I know who this is.
The crazy lady from the college.

683
00:46:15,497 --> 00:46:18,295
- How you doin', crazy lady?
- Is that for me?

684
00:46:18,367 --> 00:46:21,336
Reardon: My business is with
your older daughter.

685
00:46:21,403 --> 00:46:23,997
- I'd be grateful...
- You've got it wrong.

686
00:46:24,072 --> 00:46:25,596
You have no business here.

687
00:46:25,674 --> 00:46:27,335
Not with Sissy, Annie,
or any of us.

688
00:46:30,112 --> 00:46:32,876
Don't ever call here again,
got that?

689
00:46:38,387 --> 00:46:39,547
Daddy...

690
00:46:40,622 --> 00:46:44,388
- that was my call.
- That was some crazy lady.

691
00:46:44,459 --> 00:46:47,895
- That was my call. You have no right...
- Yeah, I do,

692
00:46:47,963 --> 00:46:50,523
as long as you live in my house
and eat my food.

693
00:46:50,599 --> 00:46:52,567
Stop it, both of you.

694
00:46:52,634 --> 00:46:55,467
I know what
the crazy lady wants.

695
00:46:55,537 --> 00:46:59,098
Just like I know you've been
talking to her behind my back.

696
00:46:59,174 --> 00:47:02,302
Let me tell you this,
Annie's not going near Rose Red.

697
00:47:05,714 --> 00:47:09,275
- Mama?
- She doesn't say. I say.

698
00:47:11,486 --> 00:47:14,148
Mama?
Won't you help me once?

699
00:47:14,223 --> 00:47:16,919
Please, just this once,
will you speak up?

700
00:47:16,992 --> 00:47:18,425
I've told you 1000 times,

701
00:47:18,493 --> 00:47:21,087
I won't take sides
between you and your father.

702
00:47:22,164 --> 00:47:23,529
Sister: Mama.

703
00:47:23,599 --> 00:47:26,067
What about Annie's side?

704
00:47:26,134 --> 00:47:28,329
- The Gatt School...
- What planet are you living on?

705
00:47:28,403 --> 00:47:31,065
You'll put her
in the Gatt School with $5,000?

706
00:47:31,139 --> 00:47:36,008
- Professor Reardon has promised 12!
- I knew she was crazy.

707
00:47:36,078 --> 00:47:38,945
What's your excuse?
$20,000 is what it would take.

708
00:47:39,014 --> 00:47:42,450
- $20,000 at least. A year.
- Rose Red is famous.

709
00:47:42,517 --> 00:47:45,714
If something happens while we're there,
it'd be worth a fortune to Annie.

710
00:47:45,787 --> 00:47:50,053
Sure. I can just
see her on Geraldo.

711
00:47:50,125 --> 00:47:51,956
''Hi, I'm Annie Wheaton.

712
00:47:52,027 --> 00:47:54,587
I'm gonna tell folks
all about a haunted house.''

713
00:47:54,663 --> 00:47:57,564
- Sister: Stop it! Don't mock her!
- I'm saving her.

714
00:47:57,633 --> 00:48:00,193
From crazy lady number one,
and crazy lady number two!

715
00:48:00,269 --> 00:48:01,759
That is it, Sister.

716
00:48:01,837 --> 00:48:04,863
This case is closed.
I won't hear any more about it.

717
00:48:14,883 --> 00:48:18,683
- Sister: I'm calling her. We're going.
- No, you're not.

718
00:48:28,964 --> 00:48:33,128
- Stop it, Annie! Stop it!
- ( glass breaking )

719
00:48:34,870 --> 00:48:35,996
Make her stop!

720
00:48:38,407 --> 00:48:41,604
What do you think, Dad?

721
00:48:41,677 --> 00:48:43,645
What do you think
Annie wants?

722
00:48:48,517 --> 00:48:51,680
- Stop it, Annie!
- ( radio switches on )

723
00:48:51,753 --> 00:48:53,084
George!

724
00:48:54,890 --> 00:48:57,654
Make her stop!
For God's sake!

725
00:48:58,727 --> 00:49:00,820
Please, George,
make her stop!

726
00:49:02,431 --> 00:49:04,695
( country music playing )

727
00:49:06,702 --> 00:49:08,761
Nick:
We thought you were lost.

728
00:49:08,837 --> 00:49:11,897
No, just misplaced.

729
00:49:13,542 --> 00:49:17,672
- May I propose a toast?
- Pam: Sure.

730
00:49:17,746 --> 00:49:21,147
To Rose Red.

731
00:49:21,216 --> 00:49:23,446
All: To Rose red.

732
00:49:28,857 --> 00:49:30,347
Vic: Joyce...

733
00:49:30,425 --> 00:49:34,794
she's looking,
still hoping for one more.

734
00:49:34,863 --> 00:49:37,388
A sixth.

735
00:49:37,466 --> 00:49:39,696
Six is the number.

736
00:49:39,768 --> 00:49:42,362
Nick:
A girl. A teenager.

737
00:49:42,437 --> 00:49:45,873
And I think our dear professor
will be in luck.

738
00:49:45,941 --> 00:49:48,034
Is that something you see?

739
00:49:51,747 --> 00:49:54,011
What's your special trait,
Pam?

740
00:49:56,017 --> 00:50:00,511
I'm what psychic journals
call a touch-know.

741
00:50:00,589 --> 00:50:02,853
It doesn't always work,

742
00:50:02,924 --> 00:50:05,415
but sometimes
when I handle things,

743
00:50:05,494 --> 00:50:09,157
I see stuff,
or I get feelings.

744
00:50:09,231 --> 00:50:11,495
Of course,
a lot of times

745
00:50:11,566 --> 00:50:13,625
there's nothing.

746
00:50:15,470 --> 00:50:17,267
What about you, Vic?

747
00:50:20,776 --> 00:50:22,641
Two people...

748
00:50:22,711 --> 00:50:24,941
mid-20s.

749
00:50:25,013 --> 00:50:27,846
She's in a blue dress.

750
00:50:27,916 --> 00:50:29,884
Vic:
He's in jeans.

751
00:50:29,951 --> 00:50:32,476
He's blonde

752
00:50:32,554 --> 00:50:34,920
over-golded.

753
00:50:34,990 --> 00:50:38,482
He's got a case of Roman hands
and Russian fingers.

754
00:50:40,095 --> 00:50:42,586
What in the world
are you talking...

755
00:50:42,664 --> 00:50:44,427
Man:
...Go outside.

756
00:50:44,499 --> 00:50:47,195
- You wanna?
- Woman: Sure.

757
00:50:48,270 --> 00:50:50,363
Tres chic, n'est-ce pas?

758
00:50:50,439 --> 00:50:54,671
- You're precognitive!
- I can tell a hawk from a handsaw

759
00:50:54,743 --> 00:50:57,109
when the wind's
in the northwest.

760
00:50:58,914 --> 00:51:00,677
What about you, Cathy?

761
00:51:00,749 --> 00:51:04,207
I'm an automatic writer.

762
00:51:04,286 --> 00:51:06,345
- A Ouija board.
- Cathy: Yes.

763
00:51:06,421 --> 00:51:08,480
But I don't like
the Ouija board.

764
00:51:08,557 --> 00:51:10,821
The channel's too wide,

765
00:51:10,892 --> 00:51:14,521
and sometimes what comes through
is unpleasant.

766
00:51:14,596 --> 00:51:16,962
This is better.

767
00:51:17,032 --> 00:51:20,229
Sometimes it's precog,
sometimes it's astral.

768
00:51:20,302 --> 00:51:22,964
Mostly it's just
people to people.

769
00:51:23,038 --> 00:51:26,474
Someone concentrate hard.
You, Pam.

770
00:51:26,541 --> 00:51:29,032
Oh. Okay.
Let's see.

771
00:51:29,110 --> 00:51:30,270
Uh...

772
00:51:31,813 --> 00:51:33,440
Okay.

773
00:51:47,896 --> 00:51:50,456
I guess
it's not going to work.

774
00:51:55,670 --> 00:51:57,433
Steve?!

775
00:52:03,211 --> 00:52:05,236
What about you, Ste...
Nick?

776
00:52:05,313 --> 00:52:07,076
( chuckling )

777
00:52:14,055 --> 00:52:15,750
He calls her Dee.

778
00:52:15,824 --> 00:52:18,952
Why does he do that,
I wonder?

779
00:52:21,530 --> 00:52:22,758
Nick?

780
00:52:25,534 --> 00:52:28,970
I do a little of this,
a little of that.

781
00:52:29,037 --> 00:52:32,564
Sometimes I get lucky
and things turn out all right.

782
00:52:32,641 --> 00:52:35,337
What about
our new friend, Emery?

783
00:52:35,410 --> 00:52:36,809
What do we know about him?

784
00:52:37,879 --> 00:52:41,713
- Your friend, not mine.
- Cathy: I think Emery is

785
00:52:41,783 --> 00:52:45,685
post-cognitive.
He sees the past.

786
00:52:45,754 --> 00:52:48,245
Not the most comfortable
of talents.

787
00:52:51,526 --> 00:52:56,293
Here's to good thoughts.
Goodwill.

788
00:52:56,364 --> 00:52:58,855
Nick:
Good thoughts, goodwill.

789
00:54:04,065 --> 00:54:05,760
Who are you?

790
00:54:05,834 --> 00:54:08,564
Why are you here?

791
00:54:08,637 --> 00:54:10,332
Where are you from?

792
00:54:12,007 --> 00:54:14,237
When are you from?

793
00:54:14,309 --> 00:54:15,970
Is it Rose Red?

794
00:54:32,394 --> 00:54:34,385
Read my lips.

795
00:54:34,462 --> 00:54:37,659
Save the warnings
for someone who's not broke.

796
00:54:37,732 --> 00:54:39,359
Okay?

797
00:54:49,544 --> 00:54:51,444
I remember that day.

798
00:54:53,548 --> 00:54:55,539
She was happy,
wasn't she?

799
00:54:58,687 --> 00:55:01,918
- We all were.
- Oh, man...

800
00:55:01,990 --> 00:55:05,016
- Would you look at this?
- Huh?

801
00:55:05,093 --> 00:55:08,324
Mr. Wheaton:
Those were the days, huh?

802
00:55:08,396 --> 00:55:10,364
Ignorance is bliss.

803
00:55:10,432 --> 00:55:11,558
Daddy,

804
00:55:11,633 --> 00:55:15,433
what Annie is,
isn't anyone's fault.

805
00:55:16,571 --> 00:55:19,233
It's not hers, it's not mine,
it's not yours.

806
00:55:19,307 --> 00:55:20,706
I know that.

807
00:55:20,775 --> 00:55:23,266
But you're too busy thinking
about what you want for Annie

808
00:55:23,344 --> 00:55:25,574
to think about
what she can do.

809
00:55:26,648 --> 00:55:28,013
Have you forgotten
what happened

810
00:55:28,083 --> 00:55:29,948
after she got bit
by the Stantons' dog?

811
00:55:30,018 --> 00:55:32,509
How the stones came down?

812
00:55:32,587 --> 00:55:34,817
Or what she did
to those pipes?

813
00:55:38,059 --> 00:55:40,857
After what
she did tonight...

814
00:55:40,929 --> 00:55:43,989
how can you have any doubts
about what she wants?

815
00:55:44,065 --> 00:55:46,397
Sweetheart,

816
00:55:46,468 --> 00:55:49,960
taking Annie into
a genuinely haunted house?

817
00:55:50,038 --> 00:55:54,702
That's like using a lighter
to see how full your gas tank is.

818
00:55:56,411 --> 00:56:00,108
It's a chance.
That's what you don't understand.

819
00:56:00,181 --> 00:56:01,648
It's a chance
for her to get out...

820
00:56:01,716 --> 00:56:03,445
And for you
to get out from under.

821
00:56:11,259 --> 00:56:13,750
I just want
what's best for Annie.

822
00:56:15,130 --> 00:56:18,793
I know, Sissy, but you don't know
what that is.

823
00:56:18,867 --> 00:56:20,926
Believe me.

824
00:56:21,002 --> 00:56:24,096
Whispering voices:
Annie...

825
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:27,671
come...

826
00:56:31,379 --> 00:56:33,472
Come...

827
00:56:36,484 --> 00:56:38,850
( whispering continues )

828
00:57:07,849 --> 00:57:11,341
Pity you can't do the same
with the other 40,000 or so.

829
00:57:12,420 --> 00:57:16,049
People read it today and line their
kitty litter boxes with it tomorrow.

830
00:57:16,124 --> 00:57:17,751
I think they'll remember
the photo.

831
00:57:17,826 --> 00:57:20,727
Some will take that
for inspection the next time

832
00:57:20,795 --> 00:57:23,195
the university bond issue
comes up before the voters.

833
00:57:23,264 --> 00:57:27,496
A photo like this could put
100 worthwhile programs to beggary.

834
00:57:27,569 --> 00:57:29,594
But what do you care?

835
00:57:29,671 --> 00:57:33,004
Do you have a point, Carl?
If so, get to it.

836
00:57:33,074 --> 00:57:35,235
- I have a lot to do.
- Crystals to polish?

837
00:57:35,310 --> 00:57:36,572
Ouijas to wax?

838
00:57:36,644 --> 00:57:40,045
Did you put that kid Bollinger
up to this? You did, didn't you?

839
00:57:40,114 --> 00:57:42,981
You told him where to go
and when to point his camera.

840
00:57:43,051 --> 00:57:45,212
Tsk-tsk-tsk...

841
00:57:45,286 --> 00:57:47,948
( whispering )
Your paranoia's showing.

842
00:57:48,022 --> 00:57:49,319
Reardon: Ah!

843
00:57:52,493 --> 00:57:54,518
It's a nasty little cut.

844
00:57:55,597 --> 00:57:57,292
Well, listen...

845
00:57:57,365 --> 00:58:00,528
I'm afraid I have bad news
for you, old girl.

846
00:58:00,602 --> 00:58:03,901
I'm not old.
Not yet anyway.

847
00:58:03,972 --> 00:58:07,931
And I'm certainly
not your girl.

848
00:58:08,009 --> 00:58:10,534
- What are you talking about?
- The Executive Committee

849
00:58:10,612 --> 00:58:12,807
has been in session
regarding tenure.

850
00:58:12,881 --> 00:58:15,611
What? Why? No one in
the department's up for tenure.

851
00:58:15,683 --> 00:58:17,116
The only thing that...

852
00:58:23,825 --> 00:58:26,123
You really are a bastard.

853
00:58:26,194 --> 00:58:29,459
The Committee voted five to two
to revoke your tenure.

854
00:58:29,530 --> 00:58:31,964
We tried to contact you
so you could attend.

855
00:58:32,033 --> 00:58:34,058
You'll find a message
on your machine.

856
00:58:34,135 --> 00:58:35,762
I'm surprised the spirits
didn't tell you.

857
00:58:35,837 --> 00:58:40,365
The general consensus is
it's time to stop the silliness.

858
00:58:40,441 --> 00:58:43,706
I will fight you
every step of the process.

859
00:58:43,778 --> 00:58:45,507
Of course,
and you'll lose.

860
00:58:45,580 --> 00:58:49,141
Your days of haunting
the Wimser Psychology department...

861
00:58:49,217 --> 00:58:51,151
to coin a phrase...
are not quite over,

862
00:58:51,219 --> 00:58:52,277
but they're numbered.

863
00:58:52,353 --> 00:58:55,845
When I come back from Rose Red
with proof, you...

864
00:58:55,924 --> 00:59:00,554
This is the rallying cry of crackpots
and deluded religionists.

865
00:59:00,628 --> 00:59:03,461
Since the Stone Age,
the proof is out there.

866
00:59:03,531 --> 00:59:05,396
This is sad, really.

867
00:59:05,466 --> 00:59:09,027
You used to be a respected writer
and lecturer in child psychology.

868
00:59:09,103 --> 00:59:11,936
But then you got bitten
by this... virus!

869
00:59:12,006 --> 00:59:15,203
It is a legitimate field
of psychological investigation.

870
00:59:15,276 --> 00:59:16,641
It's crap! It's sleazy!

871
00:59:16,711 --> 00:59:19,305
It's a spit in the eye
of rational thought!

872
00:59:19,380 --> 00:59:21,712
But the good news is,
that Rose Red

873
00:59:21,783 --> 00:59:24,650
will be your last goose chase
as a member of this faculty.

874
00:59:24,719 --> 00:59:27,483
You're an idiot and you're blind!

875
00:59:27,555 --> 00:59:29,989
What if you find proof?
Let's just suppose.

876
00:59:30,058 --> 00:59:32,117
Proof, photographs,
audio recordings

877
00:59:32,193 --> 00:59:34,457
of the clanking chains,
telemetry of some sort.

878
00:59:34,529 --> 00:59:37,896
What good would it do?
Have you considered such thoughts?

879
00:59:43,705 --> 00:59:46,640
I feel remarkably well today,

880
00:59:46,708 --> 00:59:48,972
in spite of
all your crap.

881
00:59:49,043 --> 00:59:52,240
This is the world
we live in

882
00:59:52,313 --> 00:59:55,077
and experience
with our five senses.

883
00:59:55,149 --> 00:59:58,016
Skin...
smooth and rational.

884
00:59:58,086 --> 01:00:00,418
Reardon:
Every cause has its effect,

885
01:00:00,488 --> 01:00:04,185
and every effect can be predicted
with the right database.

886
01:00:04,258 --> 01:00:06,556
But there's a world
under that world,

887
01:00:06,627 --> 01:00:08,561
blood,
under the skin.

888
01:00:08,629 --> 01:00:11,826
That's what rationalistic asses
like you never see.

889
01:00:11,899 --> 01:00:14,697
It's a world that's liquid
instead of solid,

890
01:00:14,769 --> 01:00:16,930
hot instead of just warm.

891
01:00:17,005 --> 01:00:21,101
It is a world
full of mystery, Carl.

892
01:00:21,175 --> 01:00:24,235
You don't like it,
do you? No.

893
01:00:24,312 --> 01:00:27,406
So don't give me your bull about
bond issues and busted programs.

894
01:00:27,482 --> 01:00:30,417
You're afraid
of what's under the skin.

895
01:00:30,485 --> 01:00:33,648
But I'm not.
Do you hear me, Carl?

896
01:00:33,721 --> 01:00:35,211
I'm not.

897
01:00:35,289 --> 01:00:38,918
- If you've given me something...
- That's what it comes down to, huh?

898
01:00:38,993 --> 01:00:41,757
The bottom line?
You're afraid of catching something.

899
01:00:41,829 --> 01:00:44,263
Go on, get out of here.
Go wash your face,

900
01:00:44,332 --> 01:00:46,994
then you can trot to the infirmary
and get an AIDS test.

901
01:00:47,068 --> 01:00:49,593
When the semester's over,
you're done here.

902
01:00:49,670 --> 01:00:52,104
You're finished teaching.
You're crazy!

903
01:00:52,173 --> 01:00:55,631
- You're totally insane!
- Good day, old boy.

904
01:01:02,583 --> 01:01:04,380
- What are you looking at?!
- Nothing.

905
01:01:04,452 --> 01:01:06,010
Then go look
somewhere else!

906
01:01:09,924 --> 01:01:13,087
We did it, didn't we?
We nailed her.

907
01:01:14,162 --> 01:01:15,925
What's on your face?

908
01:01:17,098 --> 01:01:18,690
Never mind.

909
01:01:18,766 --> 01:01:20,165
Never mind.

910
01:01:21,502 --> 01:01:24,801
We have a great deal
to talk about, young man.

911
01:01:24,872 --> 01:01:26,339
The story's not over?

912
01:01:28,109 --> 01:01:31,237
It's just beginning.
It's just beginning.

913
01:01:52,867 --> 01:01:56,633
Steve: From the Department
of Questions Better Not Answered,

914
01:01:56,704 --> 01:02:00,140
if a tree falls in the forest,
and no one hears it,

915
01:02:00,208 --> 01:02:02,233
- does it make any noise?
- Mm-hmm.

916
01:02:02,310 --> 01:02:04,574
Who cuts
the barber's hair?

917
01:02:04,645 --> 01:02:08,479
Who leaves money under
the Tooth Fairy's pillow?

918
01:02:08,549 --> 01:02:11,177
How come no one realizes

919
01:02:11,252 --> 01:02:14,449
Clark Kent is just
Superman wearing glasses?

920
01:02:14,522 --> 01:02:17,286
- Mm-hmm.
- If I didn't own Rose Red,

921
01:02:17,358 --> 01:02:19,223
would I be in bed
with you right now?

922
01:02:19,293 --> 01:02:20,760
Mm-hmm.

923
01:02:22,430 --> 01:02:23,624
Hello.

924
01:02:27,835 --> 01:02:30,395
- How was your day, dear?
- Give it back.

925
01:02:31,839 --> 01:02:34,069
How was your day?
Or would you prefer that

926
01:02:34,142 --> 01:02:36,770
I just rolled over
and made myself small?

927
01:02:38,579 --> 01:02:41,139
They revoked my tenure.

928
01:02:41,215 --> 01:02:44,207
Carl Miller dropped by the office
to give me the news himself.

929
01:02:44,285 --> 01:02:48,153
- Wait. Can they do that?
- Maybe. Probably.

930
01:02:48,222 --> 01:02:50,349
Bollinger's article
in the paper made us look

931
01:02:50,424 --> 01:02:53,359
like the Stupid Family,
with me as the Head Stupid.

932
01:02:53,427 --> 01:02:56,521
You want
to turn off your light?

933
01:02:56,597 --> 01:03:00,055
You're pretty damn
calm about it.

934
01:03:01,135 --> 01:03:03,194
I heard from Sister.

935
01:03:03,271 --> 01:03:06,638
She accepted
the $12,000 I offered.

936
01:03:06,707 --> 01:03:10,074
When I come back from Rose Red
with hard data,

937
01:03:10,144 --> 01:03:13,739
there'll be four dozen universities
willing to hire me.

938
01:03:13,814 --> 01:03:15,475
First,
I'm going to write a book.

939
01:03:15,550 --> 01:03:20,112
It is going to sell
a gazillion copies.

940
01:03:21,856 --> 01:03:24,188
I once heard you say

941
01:03:24,258 --> 01:03:26,954
that the only certainty
when dealing with the paranormal

942
01:03:27,028 --> 01:03:28,757
is that nothing is certain.

943
01:03:28,829 --> 01:03:31,457
What if you spend three days
in Rose Red and nothing happens?

944
01:03:31,532 --> 01:03:33,022
But it will.

945
01:03:34,168 --> 01:03:37,001
Annie Wheaton
is my guarantee.

946
01:03:37,071 --> 01:03:39,005
She's...

947
01:03:42,043 --> 01:03:44,375
Let's just say
she's one of a kind.

948
01:03:45,446 --> 01:03:47,846
You know, Rose Red
is not a true dead cell.

949
01:03:47,915 --> 01:03:49,746
Annie's going
to wake it up.

950
01:03:49,817 --> 01:03:52,377
And if you would just let the house
stand for another six months,

951
01:03:52,453 --> 01:03:54,887
- the research possibilities...
- No. No.

952
01:03:54,956 --> 01:03:57,356
It's coming down in July,
and I can't wait.

953
01:03:57,425 --> 01:03:59,893
I cannot wait.

954
01:03:59,961 --> 01:04:02,623
How can you hate it
so much?

955
01:04:02,697 --> 01:04:04,961
It eats my relatives!

956
01:04:06,033 --> 01:04:09,059
- I'm sorry.
- Did you miss that in your research?

957
01:04:11,739 --> 01:04:14,902
It's just that
it means a lot to me.

958
01:04:14,976 --> 01:04:17,638
Yeah, too much maybe.

959
01:04:18,879 --> 01:04:21,109
You'll need some down time
when this is over.

960
01:04:21,182 --> 01:04:24,117
Some serious R&R.

961
01:04:37,465 --> 01:04:39,933
( whispering )

962
01:05:17,271 --> 01:05:18,932
Well, you have
the cell phone.

963
01:05:19,006 --> 01:05:20,496
Right here.

964
01:05:20,574 --> 01:05:23,907
- And you've got plenty of film.
- Of course,

965
01:05:23,978 --> 01:05:27,175
but I don't know if
this is such a good idea.

966
01:05:28,616 --> 01:05:31,016
Don't tell me
you're afraid.

967
01:05:32,086 --> 01:05:33,883
No, of course
I'm not afraid.

968
01:05:33,954 --> 01:05:35,819
It's just big.

969
01:05:37,191 --> 01:05:39,125
What if I get lost?

970
01:05:39,193 --> 01:05:43,095
Kevin, you know,
you're about to step out

971
01:05:43,164 --> 01:05:45,257
in the real world
in a couple of weeks.

972
01:05:45,333 --> 01:05:47,198
That's where you're apt
to get lost.

973
01:05:47,268 --> 01:05:50,465
But you nail this story,
you can write your own ticket.

974
01:05:50,538 --> 01:05:53,029
I thought that's
what you wanted.

975
01:05:54,975 --> 01:05:57,034
Why don't you come
in there with me?

976
01:05:57,111 --> 01:05:59,545
I do have
a few things to do,

977
01:05:59,613 --> 01:06:02,411
like running my department,
overseeing finals...

978
01:06:03,984 --> 01:06:05,918
Call me when you
get the pictures,

979
01:06:05,986 --> 01:06:07,578
either I or my wife
will come get you.

980
01:06:07,655 --> 01:06:09,850
She can't stand
that Reardon bitch either.

981
01:06:09,924 --> 01:06:13,917
If they catch me in there,
they'll tear me apart.

982
01:06:13,994 --> 01:06:16,053
There's no reason
why they should.

983
01:06:16,130 --> 01:06:18,792
If you're reasonably careful.

984
01:06:19,900 --> 01:06:21,128
I guess.

985
01:06:22,203 --> 01:06:23,932
Whoa-whoa-whoa!

986
01:06:24,004 --> 01:06:25,767
Don't forget this.

987
01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:29,674
And try and get a good picture
of them being psychic.

988
01:06:29,744 --> 01:06:32,474
- Professor Miller, I don't think...
- Stiff upper, boy!

989
01:06:32,546 --> 01:06:33,808
Stiff upper!

990
01:06:33,881 --> 01:06:36,111
Professor Miller...

991
01:06:36,183 --> 01:06:39,243
You're a step away
from stardom, dear boy!

992
01:06:39,320 --> 01:06:40,981
Just get the pictures!

993
01:06:55,603 --> 01:06:57,400
( gate creaking )

994
01:07:12,453 --> 01:07:14,512
( crows cawing )

995
01:08:23,324 --> 01:08:24,757
Solarium...

996
01:08:24,825 --> 01:08:25,757
kitchen...

997
01:08:25,826 --> 01:08:27,589
tool-shed...
back door...

998
01:08:27,661 --> 01:08:29,788
front door...

999
01:08:33,467 --> 01:08:34,399
Kevin: Oh.

1000
01:08:34,468 --> 01:08:37,198
- I thought this house was empty.
- It would be,

1001
01:08:37,271 --> 01:08:39,000
Mr. Bollinger, I believe.

1002
01:08:39,073 --> 01:08:42,099
- The reporter.
- Yeah, I'm Bollinger.

1003
01:08:42,176 --> 01:08:44,974
- But how did you know?
- Come in, sir.

1004
01:08:45,045 --> 01:08:47,104
You're expected.

1005
01:09:05,466 --> 01:09:06,763
Ma'am?

1006
01:09:08,235 --> 01:09:10,135
Where are you?

1007
01:09:10,204 --> 01:09:12,900
Sukeena:
This way, sir.

1008
01:09:23,551 --> 01:09:25,280
Kevin: Hello?

1009
01:09:52,580 --> 01:09:54,605
( door creaks open )

1010
01:09:56,016 --> 01:09:57,074
Hello?

1011
01:10:24,912 --> 01:10:27,437
Ma'am,
I seem to have lost you.

1012
01:10:34,054 --> 01:10:35,578
Ma'am?

1013
01:10:41,328 --> 01:10:43,228
Is anybody here?

1014
01:11:05,085 --> 01:11:06,416
Ma'am?

1015
01:11:12,693 --> 01:11:13,819
( gasps )

1016
01:11:17,498 --> 01:11:19,193
Screw this.

1017
01:11:24,538 --> 01:11:27,530
Okay, very funny,
but I want to leave, all right?

1018
01:11:28,609 --> 01:11:29,871
Let me out!

1019
01:11:41,855 --> 01:11:43,482
( bees buzzing )

1020
01:11:43,557 --> 01:11:45,957
I could use
a little help in here!

1021
01:11:46,026 --> 01:11:48,893
- I'm in the greenhouse!
- ( bees buzzing )

1022
01:12:00,474 --> 01:12:02,203
Let me out!

1023
01:12:03,277 --> 01:12:05,302
Let me out of here!

1024
01:12:05,379 --> 01:12:07,142
Let me out!

1025
01:12:14,688 --> 01:12:16,519
I'm out of here.

1026
01:12:16,590 --> 01:12:18,854
Come on.

1027
01:12:45,519 --> 01:12:47,612
Get a grip, Bollinger.

1028
01:13:10,010 --> 01:13:11,739
( cell phone rings )

1029
01:13:11,812 --> 01:13:13,780
( loud music playing )

1030
01:13:27,161 --> 01:13:28,856
( continues ringing )

1031
01:13:34,635 --> 01:13:36,193
Miller over phone:
Hello?

1032
01:13:36,270 --> 01:13:37,965
Hello?

1033
01:13:38,038 --> 01:13:39,403
Who is this?

1034
01:13:41,742 --> 01:13:43,437
Bollinger?

1035
01:13:43,510 --> 01:13:45,341
Bollinger, is that you?

1036
01:13:46,713 --> 01:13:48,078
Hello?

1037
01:14:01,061 --> 01:14:02,289
Steve: Hey.

1038
01:14:02,362 --> 01:14:04,353
They'll be here.
Come on.

1039
01:14:39,499 --> 01:14:40,966
Wait!

1040
01:14:41,034 --> 01:14:43,935
Don't make me chase you,
Emmy!

1041
01:14:44,004 --> 01:14:47,804
- Mom, I'm okay.
- Yes, you're always okay?

1042
01:14:47,875 --> 01:14:49,570
Now, listen to me.

1043
01:14:49,643 --> 01:14:52,373
If anything happens
that you can't handle,

1044
01:14:52,446 --> 01:14:55,108
anything beyond a few
telesmic manifestations,

1045
01:14:55,182 --> 01:14:57,912
- call me and I'll come and get you.
- I will, Mom. I have to go.

1046
01:14:57,985 --> 01:15:01,648
You call me anyway
so I know you're all right.

1047
01:15:01,722 --> 01:15:03,314
I always do.
I have to go.

1048
01:15:03,390 --> 01:15:05,449
- Emery: They're waiting.
- Let them wait.

1049
01:15:05,525 --> 01:15:08,619
They won't do much
without you, huh?

1050
01:15:08,695 --> 01:15:10,287
Now, turn around.

1051
01:15:10,364 --> 01:15:12,764
- Mom...
- Turn around.

1052
01:15:12,833 --> 01:15:15,165
And stay away
from that blonde girl.

1053
01:15:15,235 --> 01:15:18,898
She looks like a tramp.
Now give Mommy a kiss.

1054
01:15:21,775 --> 01:15:23,743
You're all over lipstick.

1055
01:15:23,810 --> 01:15:25,573
Fix yourself.

1056
01:15:28,982 --> 01:15:32,782
Nick: Friends, I see new frontiers
in abnormal psychology

1057
01:15:32,853 --> 01:15:35,549
stretching out before us.
How exciting!

1058
01:15:35,622 --> 01:15:38,989
Mrs. Waterman:
...Especially if you move your bowels!

1059
01:15:39,059 --> 01:15:42,995
Gosh, the day before summer camp
must have been a busy time

1060
01:15:43,063 --> 01:15:45,497
- in the Waterman household.
- Shut up!

1061
01:15:48,468 --> 01:15:51,198
Off to the house
on haunted hill, I see?

1062
01:15:52,973 --> 01:15:54,531
Oh and with...

1063
01:15:54,608 --> 01:15:58,669
with about $100,000 worth
of department equipment.

1064
01:15:58,745 --> 01:16:00,906
I've got all
the proper paperwork

1065
01:16:00,981 --> 01:16:03,176
if you want to see it signed
in all the proper places.

1066
01:16:03,250 --> 01:16:05,411
Oooh...
signed by Rogers.

1067
01:16:05,485 --> 01:16:08,249
When I was on vacation,
he was acting in my stead.

1068
01:16:08,322 --> 01:16:10,017
Very clever of you.

1069
01:16:10,090 --> 01:16:12,991
- Is there a point to any of this?
- Just trying to be pleasant.

1070
01:16:13,060 --> 01:16:16,052
If you'll excuse us,
Professor Miller, we're in a hurry.

1071
01:16:16,129 --> 01:16:18,825
Yes, of course.
Places to go,

1072
01:16:18,899 --> 01:16:22,164
ghosts to bust.
Isn't that right, Mr. Rimbauer?

1073
01:16:23,170 --> 01:16:24,831
Yeah, more or less.

1074
01:16:24,905 --> 01:16:26,065
Yes.

1075
01:16:26,139 --> 01:16:28,903
Well, keep the equipment
in one piece.

1076
01:16:31,078 --> 01:16:32,477
Good luck.

1077
01:16:34,247 --> 01:16:37,045
The spirits have done it
all in one night.

1078
01:16:37,117 --> 01:16:39,881
That's what Scrooge says
when he wakes up a changed man.

1079
01:16:39,953 --> 01:16:43,514
That's what he made me think of.
Scrooge on Christmas morning.

1080
01:16:43,590 --> 01:16:46,525
I don't trust him.

1081
01:16:47,661 --> 01:16:49,856
Hello.
Are you the group?

1082
01:16:49,930 --> 01:16:51,727
Pam:
The Rose Red group?

1083
01:16:51,798 --> 01:16:53,561
Yes.

1084
01:16:53,633 --> 01:16:55,396
I'm Pam Asbury.

1085
01:16:56,837 --> 01:16:58,498
This is Cathy Kramer.

1086
01:16:58,572 --> 01:16:59,561
Hi.

1087
01:16:59,639 --> 01:17:02,199
- Victor Kandinsky.
- Vic. Just Vic.

1088
01:17:02,275 --> 01:17:03,537
Oh.

1089
01:17:05,212 --> 01:17:06,770
Pam:
Nick Hardaway.

1090
01:17:08,515 --> 01:17:09,948
Pam:
And Emery Waterman.

1091
01:17:11,718 --> 01:17:13,083
And...

1092
01:17:13,153 --> 01:17:16,554
- you must be...
- I'm Sissy Wheaton. This is Annie.

1093
01:17:18,325 --> 01:17:21,783
I was sure we were going to miss
you guys. Traffic was horrible.

1094
01:17:21,862 --> 01:17:24,524
- We're glad you didn't.
- Sister...

1095
01:17:24,598 --> 01:17:27,658
- or do you prefer Rachel?
- Either is fine.

1096
01:17:38,512 --> 01:17:40,070
Just quit it.

1097
01:17:42,182 --> 01:17:44,343
Emery:
Good God. She's retarded.

1098
01:17:44,418 --> 01:17:47,114
If you keep
your psychological evaluation

1099
01:17:47,187 --> 01:17:48,620
of Miss Wheaton to yourself,

1100
01:17:48,688 --> 01:17:51,316
we won't ask you
any embarrassing questions

1101
01:17:51,391 --> 01:17:55,452
about your relationship
with your mother. Chin, chin.

1102
01:17:55,529 --> 01:17:57,759
Reardon: Folks,

1103
01:17:57,831 --> 01:18:00,231
I think we're ready.

1104
01:18:05,405 --> 01:18:07,839
( phone ringing )

1105
01:18:12,012 --> 01:18:14,344
Recording: You've reached
the cell phone of Carl Miller.

1106
01:18:14,414 --> 01:18:16,746
Please, leave a message
after the tone.

1107
01:18:16,817 --> 01:18:18,011
( beep )

1108
01:18:18,085 --> 01:18:19,450
Bollinger, where are you?

1109
01:18:19,519 --> 01:18:21,646
I told you to keep
that phone with you...

1110
01:18:21,721 --> 01:18:25,487
In any case,
they've left the campus.

1111
01:18:25,559 --> 01:18:27,754
They'll be there
in 40 minutes,

1112
01:18:27,828 --> 01:18:29,420
so be ready.

1113
01:18:29,496 --> 01:18:31,521
Then call me back.

1114
01:18:57,591 --> 01:18:59,218
There she is.

1115
01:19:15,142 --> 01:19:18,305
It seems
to be looking at us.

1116
01:19:18,378 --> 01:19:21,313
It is, Cathy.
It is.

1117
01:19:31,124 --> 01:19:32,523
Steve.

1118
01:19:35,595 --> 01:19:36,994
Boy: Mommy?

1119
01:19:38,298 --> 01:19:39,856
Where are you?

1120
01:19:42,402 --> 01:19:44,632
( whispering )

1121
01:20:14,234 --> 01:20:15,496
Mommy?

1122
01:20:15,569 --> 01:20:17,093
I'm scared.

1123
01:20:18,238 --> 01:20:19,865
Where are you, Mommy?

1124
01:20:25,812 --> 01:20:27,404
Nick: Steve.

1125
01:20:27,480 --> 01:20:29,004
Steve, you okay?

1126
01:20:30,650 --> 01:20:31,582
Huh?

1127
01:20:34,521 --> 01:20:36,113
Yeah, sure. Fine.

1128
01:21:35,849 --> 01:21:38,113
You wanna know a secret?

1129
01:21:38,184 --> 01:21:41,176
I've never done anything
like this before

1130
01:21:41,254 --> 01:21:44,052
and I'm pretty much
scared to death.

1131
01:21:44,124 --> 01:21:45,921
Be not afraid.

1132
01:21:45,992 --> 01:21:48,324
Only believe.

1133
01:21:49,496 --> 01:21:51,555
We're lucky most
of the electronic stuff

1134
01:21:51,631 --> 01:21:53,565
was delivered and installed
earlier this week.

1135
01:21:53,633 --> 01:21:55,533
- What are these?
- House plans.

1136
01:21:55,602 --> 01:21:58,696
Probably as useful as
a 14th century map of Africa.

1137
01:21:58,772 --> 01:22:02,264
And here,
a coil of rope.

1138
01:22:04,244 --> 01:22:06,303
How are you doing, sweetie?
Are you okay?

1139
01:22:10,383 --> 01:22:13,511
Boy's voice:
Mommy? I'm scared.

1140
01:22:15,588 --> 01:22:17,886
( whispering )

1141
01:22:24,731 --> 01:22:27,029
( whispering )
Stevey...

1142
01:22:27,100 --> 01:22:29,466
Stevey... come...

1143
01:22:47,253 --> 01:22:50,188
Nick:
What is it? What can you hear?

1144
01:22:50,256 --> 01:22:53,248
- Steve...
- It knows we're here.

1145
01:22:58,765 --> 01:23:00,892
Steve:
It wants us here.

1146
01:23:05,505 --> 01:23:07,439
( whispering )

1147
01:23:27,627 --> 01:23:29,686
( whispering continues )

1148
01:23:34,768 --> 01:23:37,293
God help us.
It wants us here.

1149
01:24:03,062 --> 01:24:06,589
( whispering )
Come in...

1150
01:24:19,312 --> 01:24:21,974
Come see...
