1. You are cursed by all the forces of hell...Copy !req
2. to die a year and a day...Copy !req
3. from this moment!Copy !req
4. He's right this way.Copy !req
5. - How's he been behaving lately, Doc?
- Pretty well.Copy !req
6. He got violent about a month ago...Copy !req
7. and we had to bring him down here
and put him in a padded cell.Copy !req
8. - Has he been acting up this last week?
- Pretty much so.Copy !req
9. But we gave him tranquilizers
to calm him down.Copy !req
10. I believe he'll be all right.Copy !req
11. David, you've got a visitor.Copy !req
12. Thanks, Doc.Copy !req
13. How are you feeling, David?Copy !req
14. Uh, what's the, uh, cross for?Copy !req
15. To protect you from the curse?Copy !req
16. Dave...Copy !req
17. I've got something to show you.Copy !req
18. This'll make you feel better.Copy !req
19. I thought you said
he was tranquilized.Copy !req
20. I thought he was.
Lee, will you check him?Copy !req
21. Yes, sir.Copy !req
22. Oh, uh, here's the cross.Copy !req
23. Somehow I ended up with it.Copy !req
24. Oh, uh, cigarette, Doc?Copy !req
25. Mm-mmm.Copy !req
26. Oh, uh, what's the tape recorder for?Copy !req
27. Listen.Copy !req
28. - Okay, now, sit down here.
- Let me go!Copy !req
29. - Better hold him down.
- The cross! I gotta have that cross! Please!Copy !req
30. - All right, David —
- Just a small one. A crucifix!Copy !req
31. Okay, but now relax.
Tell us what happened.Copy !req
32. - Why do you want a crucifix?
- To keep 'em away from me!Copy !req
33. They're gonna kill me! They will!Copy !req
34. Now, David, you're safe here. Calm down.
Tell me why these people want to kill you.Copy !req
35. - They're not people!
- Okay.Copy !req
36. But tell me about them.
Tell me how it all started,Copy !req
37. It all began last week...Copy !req
38. when a schoolteacher of mine
stopped coming to his classes.Copy !req
39. - That's Dr. Watermann?
- Yeah.Copy !req
40. Well, none of us
thought anything of it...Copy !req
41. until the school asked me
to try and find where he was.Copy !req
42. He's got a cabin up in the mountains
off Ridge Road.Copy !req
43. I'd been doing some research for him
and I knew where the cabin was.Copy !req
44. - So you were going up there to see him.
- Well, not at first.Copy !req
45. But something came up and I was gonna be
near there anyway, so I thought I'd drop by.Copy !req
46. - What was it?
- A party.Copy !req
47. Eddie, listen. Dave doesn't have
a date for your party tomorrow night...Copy !req
48. so I was wondering
if you knew anybody.Copy !req
49. Yeah, as a matter of fact, I do.Copy !req
50. Ah? Who?Copy !req
51. A girl named Susan Turner.Copy !req
52. I was talking to her today about the party.
She said she wouldn't come without a date.Copy !req
53. Good.
That'll work out just fine.Copy !req
54. Call her then. Okay?Copy !req
55. All right, tell you what. I'll bring her
over to Dave's house tomorrow about 10:00.Copy !req
56. That way you can all get better acquainted
and you can do the introductions.Copy !req
57. Okay, bye, Jim.Copy !req
58. Well, all set.Copy !req
59. Great. Great.Copy !req
60. Eddie's going to bring her to your house
tomorrow morning about 10:00.Copy !req
61. I'll call Vicki tonight,
and we'll be there before she gets there.Copy !req
62. Very good. Hey, why don't we use my car?
It's a convertible.Copy !req
63. Good, good. I'll bring something to drink,
and Vicki can make some sandwiches.Copy !req
64. You mean Eddie isn't going to
supply the food for his own party?Copy !req
65. Oh, well, sure.Copy !req
66. But Eddie says it's a long drive up there
and we should stop to eat on the way up.Copy !req
67. Okay. We can eat
by Watermann's place up there.Copy !req
68. Why do you want to see him anyway?Copy !req
69. I don't know.
It's a long story.Copy !req
70. I'll tell you about it sometime.Copy !req
71. Hey, what's the name of the girl
that Eddie's bringing?Copy !req
72. Mmm, Susan —Copy !req
73. - Susan Turner.
- Turner.Copy !req
74. You don't think he'd stick me
with a loser, do ya?Copy !req
75. Ah, you'll have to wait and see.Copy !req
76. Hmm.Copy !req
77. Want a Coke?Copy !req
78. Yeah, I guess so.Copy !req
79. - Hey, make it cold.
- Like ice, buddy.Copy !req
80. - Where's Vicki going?
- Oh, to put on her lipstick.Copy !req
81. Well, she had it on.Copy !req
82. She smeared it.Copy !req
83. - Ha-ha-ha-ha. Yeah.Copy !req
84. Well, they're here.Copy !req
85. - Hi, Eddie.
- Hi, boys.Copy !req
86. Hey.Copy !req
87. Susan?
Dave Fielding, Jim Hudson.Copy !req
88. - Boys, Sue Turner.
- Hi.Copy !req
89. Hi.Copy !req
90. - Hi.
- Well, hello!Copy !req
91. - Hey, uh, where's Vicki?
- Inside putting on her makeup.Copy !req
92. Mmm. Hey, do you remember
how to get there?Copy !req
93. I think so.
How many are gonna be up there?Copy !req
94. - About 50.
- Oh.Copy !req
95. I'm going on up ahead
to get things cleaned up a little.Copy !req
96. Meantime, you can all
get better acquainted.Copy !req
97. Right.Copy !req
98. - See you, man.Copy !req
99. - Thanks, Eddie. Bye-bye.
- Thanks, buddy. See ya.Copy !req
100. Well, I guess we get acquainted.Copy !req
101. - I guess so.
- But with me, not with Jim.Copy !req
102. Oh, no.
With both of you.Copy !req
103. Sounds fair. Come on inside.
I'll introduce you to Vicki.Copy !req
104. After that, I want to take
some pictures before we leave.Copy !req
105. Eddie seems like a nice guy though.Copy !req
106. I mean, I just mentioned to him that I didn't
have anything to do, and he invited me.Copy !req
107. - I've only known him for two days.
- Oh.Copy !req
108. My family just moved in
next door to him.Copy !req
109. Where did you live before that?Copy !req
110. In New York.
Boy, was it hot there.Copy !req
111. Yeah, I guess it was.Copy !req
112. How long have you known Eddie?Copy !req
113. Oh, five or six years.Copy !req
114. Sometimes I think
he's out of his mind.Copy !req
115. - Jim seems like a nice guy though.
- He is.Copy !req
116. Vicki seems nice too —
an awful lot like Jim.Copy !req
117. She is.
That's why they get along so well.Copy !req
118. Hey! Where'd Eddie go?Copy !req
119. He already went up ahead
to get things ready.Copy !req
120. - I already told you that.
- Well, I forgot.Copy !req
121. Mmm. Hmm!Copy !req
122. Did you bring —Copy !req
123. Okay. Everybody line up here,
and I'll take your picture.Copy !req
124. All right, everyone, smile now.Copy !req
125. Susan, move over a little bit.Copy !req
126. - That's it.Copy !req
127. That'll do it, folks.Copy !req
128. I was always under the impression
that Jim was the photographer around here.Copy !req
129. Ah, but in a moment, my dear friends,
you will gaze upon the faces of the dead.Copy !req
130. That's a nice way to start off the day —
calling us the dead.Copy !req
131. Boy, you can't do anything right,
can you?Copy !req
132. Come on.Copy !req
133. - Vicki, you got the luncheon?
- Yeah, Dave.Copy !req
134. - After you.
- Thank you.Copy !req
135. And there.Copy !req
136. Do you know how long
it'll take to get there?Copy !req
137. - I don't know.
- Eddie says it'll take a couple of hours.Copy !req
138. Yeah, that's what Eddie says.Copy !req
139. - You got everything?
- Yeah, uh-huh.Copy !req
140. Mmm, yep.Copy !req
141. What about my hair?Copy !req
142. - It looks terrible!
- Look in the glove compartment.Copy !req
143. Whose are these?Copy !req
144. Well, I —I like to be prepared.Copy !req
145. - Suave. Very suave.Copy !req
146. - You ready?
- Yep.Copy !req
147. Eddie told me about the time
you tried to give some phony excuse for not —Copy !req
148. Phony? I'll have you know
that was entirely legitimate.Copy !req
149. There was nothing
I could do about it.Copy !req
150. - Will you turn that off.Copy !req
151. And in here is the shutter.Copy !req
152. Now, you press this button
and it takes the picture.Copy !req
153. That's nice, but you probably forgot,
like the last time, to put film in the camera.Copy !req
154. Nah. Nope. Not this time.Copy !req
155. Is this the way to Watermann's cabin?Copy !req
156. Yeah, I think so.Copy !req
157. Okay, let's go. Go.Copy !req
158. Looks like we took
the wrong road.Copy !req
159. Maybe we didn't and we're going to
have to walk to get there.Copy !req
160. Yeah, Watermann's place
is in the woods a little ways.Copy !req
161. Okay. Why don't we walk up to it and see if
we can get a Coke or something. I'm thirsty.Copy !req
162. Water jug's in the car.Copy !req
163. - What'd you put in it?
- Nothing.Copy !req
164. I thought you were
supposed to put something in it.Copy !req
165. I thought you were going to put
something in it. Why was I supposed to —Copy !req
166. Come on. We can get something
to eat at Watermann's place.Copy !req
167. Come on.Copy !req
168. Sure is pretty around here.Copy !req
169. You know, with all these trees, seems like
there should be a stream here somewhere.Copy !req
170. So what?Copy !req
171. Jim!Copy !req
172. Wow.Copy !req
173. - What happened?
- I don't know.Copy !req
174. - An explosion?
- No.Copy !req
175. It's been broken down,
not blown apart.Copy !req
176. Watermann's car's not here.
He must have been away when it happened.Copy !req
177. Where's Vicki?Copy !req
178. Hey, babe, what —Copy !req
179. - Hey, look at that.
- Wow.Copy !req
180. What's a castle doing in this area?Copy !req
181. What do you mean?Copy !req
182. Well, who's ever heard
of a castle around here?Copy !req
183. - Why don't we go up there?
- Sure. Why not?Copy !req
184. 'Cause we have to call the police
about Watermann.Copy !req
185. — Naw.
— It'll just take a few minutes.Copy !req
186. — It'll be fun.
— Yeah.Copy !req
187. It'll take at least half an hour to get up there
and back. We have to climb, you know.Copy !req
188. - I know.
- Okay, let's take a vote.Copy !req
189. - If more than half of us —
- Oh, forget it.Copy !req
190. Okay.
Watermann might be up there.Copy !req
191. Sure don't remember
seeing that before.Copy !req
192. - Okay.
- Let's go.Copy !req
193. Careful.Copy !req
194. Over there.Copy !req
195. - Wh —
- It came from in there!Copy !req
196. - Hey, wait for me!Copy !req
197. What's that?Copy !req
198. I don't know.Copy !req
199. Anyone want to go in there?Copy !req
200. - I-I'm not sure.
- Do you?Copy !req
201. It's pretty dark.
Do you have a flashlight in the car?Copy !req
202. I don't think so.Copy !req
203. Matches. All right, we'll —
we'll make some torches.Copy !req
204. Torches. Right.Copy !req
205. Hey! Come here!Copy !req
206. Come on!Copy !req
207. - The noise we heard.
- Yep.Copy !req
208. Maybe.
Let's go and see what it was.Copy !req
209. Hey.Copy !req
210. Yeah. There's a lot of junk in here.Copy !req
211. Someone must live here.Copy !req
212. Jim? Jim!Copy !req
213. Dave?Copy !req
214. Jim?Copy !req
215. - Vick!
- Where is she?Copy !req
216. - This way!
- Jim! Help!Copy !req
217. There! Up there!Copy !req
218. Jim! Oh, Jim!Copy !req
219. I guess I gave her quite a scare.Copy !req
220. - Let's get out of here.
- No, wait.Copy !req
221. You gonna leave? Ain't you afraid
of the demon and his friends?Copy !req
222. Oh, no, we aren't.Copy !req
223. No?Copy !req
224. I... don't know
what you mean exactly.Copy !req
225. We heard this noise in here...Copy !req
226. and a... laughing sound.Copy !req
227. That's the demon you heard.Copy !req
228. No, no, I don't think
it was any demon.Copy !req
229. It was a lot of yelling and screaming...Copy !req
230. and a flapping sound,
like a large bird.Copy !req
231. He'd better watch out,
or I'll catch him if he isn't careful...Copy !req
232. comin' in here,
tryin' to get the book from me.Copy !req
233. What book?Copy !req
234. Uh, I think we'd better leave now.Copy !req
235. You're not foolin' me now, are ya?Copy !req
236. Uh, oh, no, no, we aren't.Copy !req
237. Then you really don't know
about the demon or the book?Copy !req
238. - We're not after your book.
- That's the truth?Copy !req
239. No, no. We came in
'cause we heard a noise.Copy !req
240. Well, you can't leave empty-handed.Copy !req
241. Come with me
and I'll give you somethin'.Copy !req
242. Here you are. Take it.
Now get out!Copy !req
243. - Don't you want it back?
- Want it back?Copy !req
244. No, no, I don't.
Now get outta here!Copy !req
245. - I'm thirsty.
- Jim should be back with water pretty soon.Copy !req
246. Thanks a lot for going back to the car
and getting the lunches.Copy !req
247. That's all right. Looks like we're going to be here
for a little while with that castle to look at.Copy !req
248. - And the book.
- Oh?Copy !req
249. - When are we going to Eddie's?
- Couple hours. Why?Copy !req
250. She's a little scared, Dave.Copy !req
251. I think that old man put us all on edge.
Speaking for myself, of course.Copy !req
252. Wouldn't that be strange
if he were telling the truth?Copy !req
253. - Mm-hmm.
- Here comes Jim.Copy !req
254. All right. Who's first?Copy !req
255. Jim, do you think we should stay
around here after what that old man said?Copy !req
256. - Sure. Why not?
- She's afraid of seeing monsters.Copy !req
257. Ah, don't let that old man bother you.
He's nuts.Copy !req
258. I know.Copy !req
259. But what about Watermann's place?Copy !req
260. Someone had to tear it apart.
Who would have done a thing like that?Copy !req
261. - The old man?
- Not strong enough.Copy !req
262. That's what I mean.
Who could tear it apart so completely?Copy !req
263. You know, I looked around for tire tracks
or something, but there wasn't any.Copy !req
264. Not even any footprints.Copy !req
265. And the wood wasn't cut —
it was broken.Copy !req
266. And what about that weird cry we heard
coming up on the way to the cave?Copy !req
267. - I don't know.
- That could have been the old man.Copy !req
268. - He could have made the footprints.
- For what reason?Copy !req
269. I don't know.
Scare people like us, maybe.Copy !req
270. So, what's gonna happen? Are we gonna look
at the castle, or what? I think we should.Copy !req
271. It won't take very long.Copy !req
272. Let's get this stuff into one bag.Copy !req
273. And we can leave the cooler here.Copy !req
274. We've gotta come back
this way anyway.Copy !req
275. Is that all right with you, Sue?
I mean, really, if you want —Copy !req
276. — It's all right, if everyone else wants to.
— Well, let's go.Copy !req
277. Come on, Dave!Copy !req
278. - Are you okay?
- David!Copy !req
279. - What happened?
- Some guy knocked you down!Copy !req
280. - Where is he?
- That way!Copy !req
281. - You two stay here!
- Susan!Copy !req
282. Oh —Where'd he come from?Copy !req
283. - I don't know.
- Look!Copy !req
284. The castle's gone!Copy !req
285. It's Watermann!Copy !req
286. What happened?Copy !req
287. He must have hit his head on a rock
when he fell. He's dead.Copy !req
288. - You sure?
- No heartbeat.Copy !req
289. Well, what are we gonna do?Copy !req
290. Well...Copy !req
291. go back and get the girls, I guess...Copy !req
292. and then go to a police station.Copy !req
293. Grab his feet.Copy !req
294. It wasn't your fault, Dave.Copy !req
295. It was an accident.
They'll understand that.Copy !req
296. - Come on. Don't let it bother you.
- Don't let it bother —Copy !req
297. - Don't you realize what's just happened?
- Yeah.Copy !req
298. Well?Copy !req
299. - Where are you going?
- Back to Watermann.Copy !req
300. Hey, Dave, wait!Copy !req
301. Thought you said he was dead.Copy !req
302. Well, he was.
At least I thought he was.Copy !req
303. There's where you dragged him up here,
50 this is the spot.Copy !req
304. But there are no footprints.Copy !req
305. If he got up,
there would have been footprints.Copy !req
306. It's as though he just...Copy !req
307. disappeared.Copy !req
308. Yeah.Copy !req
309. If anyone else were here,
we would have seen 'em, wouldn't we?Copy !req
310. I think so.Copy !req
311. Those footprints are our own.Copy !req
312. No one else has been up here.Copy !req
313. But, Dave, a minute ago
Arthur Watermann was lying here dead...Copy !req
314. and now he's gone.Copy !req
315. Flesh, bones, blood —
all are gone.Copy !req
316. Sulfur. 1- smell sulfur.Copy !req
317. Yeah, but what does that mean?
He burned up in a bed of sulfur?Copy !req
318. Not likely.Copy !req
319. What was he working on
when he called you?Copy !req
320. How should I know?
What difference would it make?Copy !req
321. - Let's go back.
- Go back?Copy !req
322. - Tell the girls what's happened.
- Right.Copy !req
323. And we should prepare ourselves
for anything.Copy !req
324. Something's going on around here,
and we should find out about it.Copy !req
325. We should start
by looking at that castle.Copy !req
326. I's not easy to lose a dead body
and a castle in one day.Copy !req
327. Aw, shut up.Copy !req
328. - But it couldn't have been our imaginations.
- Of course not.Copy !req
329. What happened to it?
You just can't walk off with a castle.Copy !req
330. - Well, someone did.
- Let's go up and have a look.Copy !req
331. If there was a castle there,
it would have left a mark of some kind.Copy !req
332. - How can anyone move a castle?
- Maybe it wasn't a castle.Copy !req
333. - Maybe it was only a false front of one.
- Yeah. Like in the movies.Copy !req
334. - Right.
- But what about the body?Copy !req
335. I don't know, but I can't help thinking
there's a connection between it and the castle.Copy !req
336. You two stay here.
We won't be long.Copy !req
337. Hey! Wait.Copy !req
338. - I want to see the castle.
- There isn't any castle, stupid.Copy !req
339. Well, all right.Copy !req
340. Mwah.Copy !req
341. Well, what are we gonna do now?Copy !req
342. Find a comfortable rock,
sit back and wait for 'em.Copy !req
343. It was just around that cliff.Copy !req
344. - Where are they?
- I don't know. I can't see 'em from here.Copy !req
345. They must be pretty close.
Hey, come on. I'll take your picture.Copy !req
346. Are you sure you know how to use it?Copy !req
347. Yeah. Jim showed me how.Copy !req
348. The light's not very good here.Copy !req
349. Where do you want me to sit?Copy !req
350. Why don't you sit
over by the stream?Copy !req
351. About 20 feet from here,
wasn't it?Copy !req
352. I think so.Copy !req
353. That's the first live thing I've seen
around here all day.Copy !req
354. Hey! Dave!Copy !req
355. What'd you say?Copy !req
356. Come here.Copy !req
357. - This is it. Hold it.
- Hold it. What are you talkin' about?Copy !req
358. Now watch this.Copy !req
359. - Watch.
- Watch what?Copy !req
360. There you are.Copy !req
361. Is that okay?Copy !req
362. Okay, now, just a second.Copy !req
363. Save me! Help me!Copy !req
364. Help me! Help me! Help me!Copy !req
365. Oh! Oh!Copy !req
366. No! Help!Copy !req
367. Help!Copy !req
368. - The girls!Copy !req
369. Throw rocks!
Get his attention!Copy !req
370. Susan, help!Copy !req
371. Stay here.Copy !req
372. Jim! Over here!Copy !req
373. - What?
- Look out!Copy !req
374. Try to find a long stick!Copy !req
375. - Will this do?
- That's fine.Copy !req
376. Now get back and watch out.Copy !req
377. Jim, get up on that cliff
and attract his attention.Copy !req
378. If he reaches up for you,
I'll pry this into him.Copy !req
379. Throw something at him, Jim!Copy !req
380. A rock, anything!Copy !req
381. Oh!Copy !req
382. I've never seen anything like it.Copy !req
383. It's a wonder
it didn't kill us all.Copy !req
384. Where do you think it came from?Copy !req
385. Looks like that old man
wasn't so crazy after all.Copy !req
386. This is probably the demon
he was talking about.Copy !req
387. - The old man's dead.
- Dead?Copy !req
388. The creature killed him.Copy !req
389. He's back there.Copy !req
390. Well, we'd better not
leave him there.Copy !req
391. No, we won't.Copy !req
392. Think this could have anything
to do with Watermann?Copy !req
393. Or his cabin maybe?Copy !req
394. Yeah, maybe so.Copy !req
395. We'll go after the body.
You two stay here.Copy !req
396. - Okay.
- Dave?Copy !req
397. Maybe we should go with them.Copy !req
398. I couldn't stand to look
at that old man's body again.Copy !req
399. I'm glad we're getting out of here.Copy !req
400. After all that's happened,
I've lost all my curiosity.Copy !req
401. Jim, the hand — it moved!Copy !req
402. Must have been a reflex
or something.Copy !req
403. But just the same,
let's take 'em with us.Copy !req
404. Okay. Come on.Copy !req
405. Things sure have a way
of disappearing around here.Copy !req
406. Yeah. Two dead bodies
and a castle.Copy !req
407. I'll bet that animal's gone too.Copy !req
408. - We'll know when we get back.
- Back where?Copy !req
409. The cliff and the castle.Copy !req
410. I'm not so sure we should keep
fooling around up here.Copy !req
411. Neither am I,
but we've gone this far.Copy !req
412. Id like to find out where that castle went
and where the monster came from.Copy !req
413. - And get us all killed?
- Ah, not if we're careful.Copy !req
414. I suppose you're right.Copy !req
415. I'd still like to climb that cliff.Copy !req
416. This time though
we take the girls with us.Copy !req
417. Yeah. I think we should
all stick together.Copy !req
418. Like glue.Copy !req
419. Right. That way, if anything happens,
we have a better chance of fighting it.Copy !req
420. All right. Thought I'd let
everybody know, I'm scared.Copy !req
421. Aren't we all?Copy !req
422. Well, let's get started.Copy !req
423. The thing I really regret about this...Copy !req
424. is that Eddie isn't here
to enjoy all the fun.Copy !req
425. - You know, if it hadn't been for Eddie's party —Copy !req
426. Listen, Dave. Don't let the girls know
about that invisible wall until I get back.Copy !req
427. - Where are you going?
- Back to see if I can find my camera.Copy !req
428. I just realized that no one's
going to believe any of this...Copy !req
429. unless we can get a shot of one of us
sticking our hands into that barrier.Copy !req
430. Why don't you want me
to tell the girls about it?Copy !req
431. They might want to go inside,
and I don't think any of us should...Copy !req
432. at least not until
I find that camera.Copy !req
433. I have a feeling that that's the hiding place
of that thing you just killed.Copy !req
434. Okay, you go back for your camera.Copy !req
435. I'll look through the book
and see if it has any of the answers.Copy !req
436. - Are you two coming?
- Can't do without us, can you?Copy !req
437. - Jim's going back to look for his camera.
- I'll go with you.Copy !req
438. - No. You go up with Dave.
- All right.Copy !req
439. What happened to the idea
of us all sticking together?Copy !req
440. It won't take me very long.
You and Vicki oughta rest anyway.Copy !req
441. Maybe so.Copy !req
442. - But hurry.
- Twill.Copy !req
443. - Hope he'll be all right.
- He will.Copy !req
444. Come on.Copy !req
445. Hello!Copy !req
446. Anybody here?Copy !req
447. Hey! Stop!Copy !req
448. Hey!Copy !req
449. No trace of a castle
or anything, for that matter.Copy !req
450. Oh, here comes Jim.Copy !req
451. — Is that it?
— Yeah, this is all that's left.Copy !req
452. Never take another picture.Copy !req
453. Find anything?Copy !req
454. A little. I think the book may have something
to do with the forces of darkness.Copy !req
455. You can read that?Copy !req
456. Nah, but there are
a few pages of translation.Copy !req
457. - Someone's been writing on the pages.
- Well, what does it say?Copy !req
458. Something about destroying evil.
I can't make out all the translation.Copy !req
459. Let me see it.Copy !req
460. - May I see?
- Sure.Copy !req
461. Well, what are we gonna do now?Copy !req
462. I want to go over and find something
Jim and I saw while we were up here earlier.Copy !req
463. What?Copy !req
464. I don't know.
It was some sort of invisible wall.Copy !req
465. - What?
- Hey, Dave. Look at this.Copy !req
466. There's a note in here.Copy !req
467. - Can you read it?
- Yeah.Copy !req
468. This one isn't written in Swahili.Copy !req
469. - Well, go on then.
- All right.Copy !req
470. - “Arthur Watermann”?
- What?Copy !req
471. “I, Arthur Watermann...Copy !req
472. “having embarked on a course...Copy !req
473. “forbidden to mortal man...Copy !req
474. and heretofore unknowable by him” —Copy !req
475. Which I pray, in the name of God...Copy !req
476. shall never again
shall be so foolishly repeated.Copy !req
477. I have deciphered, in defiance
of the laws of Tarturis..Copy !req
478. The text and meaning
of this cursed tabloid..Copy !req
479. Which now, in vengeance,
reaches out for my very soul.Copy !req
480. Already I have seen the first signs
which foreshadow my doom.Copy !req
481. I cannot guess how many hours
remain to me.Copy !req
482. But before I perish,
I must be sure...Copy !req
483. that this message survives after me
to serve warning on the world..Copy !req
484. That the forces of darkness
are far from dead,Copy !req
485. Seven months ago, a colleague returned
from an archaeological excavation...Copy !req
486. at the site of an unknown civilization
near the Persian Gulf.Copy !req
487. Out of this ruin
and forgotten wreck...Copy !req
488. he brought me a manuscript —Copy !req
489. the last recorded communication
between an ancient sorcerer...Copy !req
490. and the spirits of the dead.Copy !req
491. Ignoring his warnings...Copy !req
492. I began that evening to roll back
the limitations of mortality...Copy !req
493. and see into the secrets
of death itself.Copy !req
494. I discovered that there is
a demarcation...Copy !req
495. a boundary which can appear at every
bidding of the fiends which dwell within.Copy !req
496. Now I have found too late
that this borderline, this equinox...Copy !req
497. between worlds...Copy !req
498. is no barrier to him
who possesses this book of the damned.Copy !req
499. Blinded by curiosity...Copy !req
500. I chose a desolate area
to challenge the ancient oracle...Copy !req
501. and from that deserted hillside
I looked into the unholy world.Copy !req
502. With success
came a cold, settling fear...Copy !req
503. the likes of which
I had never known before.Copy !req
504. But now, forced on by a will
equally as foreign to me...Copy !req
505. I gazed upon the other dimension.Copy !req
506. On this first of many journeys,
I witnessed the migration of the dead..Copy !req
507. To their eternal torture below,
a horrifying sight..Copy !req
508. Which only increased
my desire for the secrets...Copy !req
509. of the equinox.Copy !req
510. My zeal for forbidden knowledge...Copy !req
511. soon carried me past
the threshold of mortal experience.Copy !req
512. The underworld could not allow
one with my knowledge to live.Copy !req
513. They want not only the book,
but my soul itself..Copy !req
514. And I cannot elude them
much longer.Copy !req
515. Do not think you can fight them.Copy !req
516. Destroy this cursed work.Copy !req
517. Destroy it and scatter the truth.Copy !req
518. This message
must not be lost again.Copy !req
519. May heaven grant my deliverance.Copy !req
520. It's hard to believe.Copy !req
521. But if we can believe it,
it means the creature isn't dead...Copy !req
522. and will be back.Copy !req
523. - Or something worse.
- Let's get out of here.Copy !req
524. - That thing, Jim, it was after —
- This.Copy !req
525. - The book, and not us.
- It was, yes.Copy !req
526. - What do you mean, “was”?
- We know the secret now.Copy !req
527. We know that if we can
penetrate that barrier...Copy !req
528. we can discover the secrets
of the underworld...Copy !req
529. or whatever controls the creature.Copy !req
530. And we know where the barrier is.Copy !req
531. That invisible thing
the bird flew into.Copy !req
532. And I'll bet that's where
the creature came from too.Copy !req
533. - Probably so.
- Where are you going?Copy !req
534. You want to go over and have a look
inside that barrier, don't you?Copy !req
535. Yeah, but I've been thinking, Jim.Copy !req
536. If that book is all you think it is,
it's obviously important.Copy !req
537. More important maybe
than we realize.Copy !req
538. That creature he sent after us
wasn't fooling around.Copy !req
539. What if it comes back?Copy !req
540. That's my point, Jim.Copy !req
541. This is too important for us alone.
We don't have any defense for it.Copy !req
542. — And look what happened to Watermann.
— Don't you think we should let someone else know?Copy !req
543. I think so. But who?
That's the problem.Copy !req
544. If we make a mistake,
God only knows what might happen.Copy !req
545. Hey, wait. I've got this.Copy !req
546. Oh, but —Copy !req
547. Well, what can we do?Copy !req
548. Mmm.Copy !req
549. I think you and I should stay here, Jim. We're
not sure that barrier's gonna be here forever.Copy !req
550. And you two are going though. If anything
happens, you'll be in town, away from here.Copy !req
551. - Jim, I'm staying.
- No, Dave's right. You two should go.Copy !req
552. At least we'll get some help that way.Copy !req
553. Well, take this then.
It might help somehow. All right?Copy !req
554. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
555. But what if we don't find a town? We could
get lost, and we don't know our way back.Copy !req
556. Yeah, why don't you both
just leave the book and come with us?Copy !req
557. Oh, the book. Darn it.
I left it back there.Copy !req
558. Jim, look! Over there!Copy !req
559. You wait here.Copy !req
560. The barrier!
He's run into the barrier!Copy !req
561. Stay here. I'm goin' in
to see if I can help him.Copy !req
562. - If I'm not back in 15 —
- Jim!Copy !req
563. Oh, here, here!Copy !req
564. - All right. Grab him.
- Run, girls!Copy !req
565. Take this, go to the car
and get out of here.Copy !req
566. - No!
- He's right, Vicki. Come on.Copy !req
567. Jim!Copy !req
568. Over here, Dave.Copy !req
569. Jim, are you all right?Copy !req
570. Yeah, I think so.Copy !req
571. Where are the girls?Copy !req
572. I gave them the book
and sent them back to the car for help.Copy !req
573. The book? Well, let's stop 'em.Copy !req
574. Jim? Hold it!Copy !req
575. Well, wait.
I forgot to give 'em the keys.Copy !req
576. Oh.Copy !req
577. We gotta get the book.Copy !req
578. What happened in there?Copy !req
579. When the giant discovered
I didn't have the book...Copy !req
580. he figured I wasn't much use...Copy !req
581. so he —he let me go.Copy !req
582. I don't know what they'll try next.Copy !req
583. Who knows?Copy !req
584. We've got to get that book to someone.
That's important.Copy !req
585. I just wish I'd let Susan
keep that cross.Copy !req
586. What cross?Copy !req
587. Susan's cross.
Don't you remember?Copy !req
588. Who are you?Copy !req
589. Don't you know, David?Copy !req
590. Or are you afraid to draw
the obvious conclusion?Copy !req
591. What have you done with Jim?Copy !req
592. Your friend is dead,
something we had hoped to avoid.Copy !req
593. But now it looks as if
we'll have to kill all of you.Copy !req
594. You're afraid, aren't you?Copy !req
595. Afraid that if people start asking questions,
they may come up with the right answers.Copy !req
596. Like Watermann.Copy !req
597. The unfortunate thing about Watermann
is that once he discovered his answers...Copy !req
598. he didn't know
what to do with them.Copy !req
599. That barrier is the result
of his work...Copy !req
600. And for a while,
the barrier shield dissolved...Copy !req
601. enabling people to see the other world
without crossing over.Copy !req
602. The disappearing castle.Copy !req
603. However, soon, we'll be
totally rid of the barrier.Copy !req
604. Enough talking. Your meddling
has caused us nothing but trouble.Copy !req
605. We were easy on you
the first time.Copy !req
606. We resurrected Watermann
to get the book from you...Copy !req
607. 50 you would think
he was just —just a thief.Copy !req
608. Then we resorted
to stronger methods.Copy !req
609. And those foolish girls —Copy !req
610. David!Copy !req
611. David. David.Copy !req
612. David. David! David!Copy !req
613. Susan!Copy !req
614. Sue, you okay? Come on!Copy !req
615. Into the trees!Copy !req
616. Through here!Copy !req
617. It won't get us.Copy !req
618. - Why?
- I've got the cross. Come on!Copy !req
619. David!Copy !req
620. - What's happening?
- Come on!Copy !req
621. At that moment, I knew
I was cursed by all the forces of hell..Copy !req
622. To die int exactly one year and a day.Copy !req
623. Susan was dead,Copy !req
624. There was nothing I could do,
so I ran.Copy !req
625. I just had to get away.Copy !req
626. Away. Away.Copy !req
627. - So Susan was dead.
- Yeah.Copy !req
628. And all the others —
Vicki and Jim and Watermann —Copy !req
629. - Yeah.
- Huh.Copy !req
630. - Did you kill 'em?
- No, of course not.Copy !req
631. What's the difference?
In a year from now, I, too, will be dead.Copy !req
632. And that's the story
of David Fielding.Copy !req
633. Is there enough here
for your newspaper story?Copy !req
634. No, I'm afraid not.Copy !req
635. Why not?Copy !req
636. Well, I thought that maybe
something would happen.Copy !req
637. Something I could get a story out of.
This —it's a year old.Copy !req
638. Well, what did you expect to happen?Copy !req
639. I don't know, but it's been exactly
a year and a day since that made news.Copy !req
640. And I wanted to get a follow-up.Copy !req
641. Then, uh, today's the day.Copy !req
642. That's right, but it doesn't look
like he's gonna do anything.Copy !req
643. No, I guess he isn't.Copy !req
644. But would you give me a call if something
happens? Suicide or something.Copy !req
645. - I can use that.
- Oh. Oh, sure.Copy !req
646. Sorry if I couldn't be
of more help.Copy !req
647. That's okay, Doc.
He's the story, not you.Copy !req
648. Well, see you around, Doc.Copy !req
649. Thanks anyway.Copy !req
650. Oh, yeah. Glad to have helped.Copy !req
