"Paul, I wanna leave this place." "Some things are more powerful /than pentacles." "Like love." "It's a powerful force, Marjorie." "He said we were marking the devil." "Especially you." "You know, I thought /I heard a baby crying." "I had a devil in the house once." "SOMETHING EVIL" "Ye shall be taken..." "Ye shall be taken... be taken... be taken... be taken..." "Hey mom, look at me!" "FOR SALE" "This place is for sale." "Paul, this place is for sale." "This place is 2 hours from New York City." "It's a long way to commute." "Be careful!" "I like your view of the place better." "It's more romantic." "Who do you suppose that is?" "I don't know." "Maybe he's the owner." "Stevie, you come here now!" "You be careful!" "I almost caught a rat." "Rats." "We might as well be back in the city." "Oh, I expect the rats are healthier out here." "Probably." "Paul..." "Why don't you go speak with the man and see if he is the owner?" "Now, if we buy a house, there will be no trip to Europe," "there will be no second car for you, there will be no summer camp for Stevie." "Oh well, this is a summer camp." "Well..." "SOMETHING EVIL" "See, we are not farmers." "I work for an advertising agency in New York, and... she... well, we both have been looking for a place in the country." "Well I just think, you know, it'd be best for a new owner to just use it for weekends." "It doesn't have city conveniences." "The Missus would probably get to hating it." "I could farm the land for you." "No." "No, I..." "I can't afford both places." "You know better what you have to do." "It's for sale, like the sign says." "Still it's a... it's a strange place." "But the water is sweet, isn't it?" "I mean, it's got a good deep well." " That land's not worn out, is it?" " No, soil is fine." "It's better than most..." "But it's a different place." "The... land's a really living thing to you, isn't it?" "Well, the land breathes like any man." "And different, as one man is from another." "Good and bad." "Well, it's a real fixer-upper." "We could swing it, but..." "Oh Paul, I love this house." "Please let me try." "Please." "Can we really swing it, do you think?" "Yeah?" "How soon can we move then?" "I made it myself." "That's a pentacle to ward off evil." "It's a kind of nice design." "I think I'll leave it there." "Well, it's one thing to paint it on, it's another thing to believe in it." "Stevie!" "Yeah?" "You are now as protected from evil as any barn in Bux County." "Thank you." " Want a bite?" " No." "These are great, honey." "No, I mean really they are, they're great!" "You're about to start a whole new design craze." "You think so?" "Yeah, I think so." "I fed the kids early for a change, so it's just the two of us." "Got anything special in mind?" "Do you got tomatoes?" "I have something that I want to tell you." "Now, I saw Gehrmann in the field today, and he had killed a chicken and he was letting it bleed, and he was swinging it back and forth all over the ground." "How do you like that?" "Thank you." "I had an appetite before that." "I'm sorry." "But I had to tell you." "I'm sorry." "I told you these people around here, they are very strange, you know." "Now take the chicken." "Killing a chicken and letting it bleed in the field probably means that they are trying to put fertility into the land." "No." "Some of these old ideas, these old beliefs they die very hard." "As hard as the chicken?" "Oh, come on." "They were probably going to have it for dinner anyway." "I didn't tell you." " I think I made a couple house payments on the place." " Paul, how?" "I'm going to rent the place for an "Apple Bar" commercial." "I think it's a good idea." "Fresh air and clean well water and that whole image..." "I thought we might have a housewarming after the shoot." "You know, with the cast and crew and..." "Well, maybe a couple guys from the agency." " Alright." " Good idea?" "Come on." "It's alright." "It's just a dream." "I'm here." "Stevie, it's alright." "It's just a dream." "It's alright." "OK." "Come on." "That's it." "What's the matter?" "Have you been here all night?" "What's wrong?" "Is Laurie all right?" "She's sleeping." "Why don't you get back to bed, too." "Come on." "Come on, sweetheart." "Wake up." "Stand up." "Good boy." "You're getting too heavy, you know that?" "You're just growing up too much." "Oh, boy." "Come on, big fella." "Quiet now, settle down." "Apples come in chocolate brown..." "They're wonderful." "Apples come in taffy gold..." "They're scrumptious!" "Listen to me, all you folks, hear me when I say:" "apple bar, apple bar sends me all the way!" "Cut." "Alright, let's take it from the top, boys." "Beth, baby, you have got to make me believe that you eat this junk." " Now you just gotta!" " I'll do it." "Alright." "And get up on the word "Wonderful", not "scrumptious"." "Paul!" "Paul!" " Yeah?" " Come here." "I'm picking up a weird sound here." "I can't figure out what it is." " High voltage jazz?" " It's no jazz." "Here, listen." "That's weird." "Marg!" "Marg?" "Honey..." "Did you remember to turn off the refrigerator like I asked?" "Yes, darling." "And the freezer too." "You did?" "Alright, settle down a bit." "We're listening for a strange sound." "But Paul, I don't know why you're worried about the sound anyway, when that girl can't sing at all." "We're gonna dub another voice in later but I just want to get a clear track, it's alright." "OK, fellas, try this." "What are you doing with that?" "Awful." "I don't know what it was, but it's gone now." " It is?" " Sure." "Sounds alright." "Well, OK." "Let's go." "Alright, alright, alright, alright..." "Settle down, settle down." "Now let's get to position No. 1." "Now, Beth, remember to get up on "Wonderful"." "OK." "Ready?" "Apples come in chocolate brown..." "They're wonderful." "Apples come in taffy gold..." "Scrumptious!" "Kisses for you." "All you get." "Sure." " You said that girl couldn't sing." " But she sure is good-looking." "I don't know..." " What?" "What kind of classes?" " An acting class." " Yeah, what about that?" " The teacher wanted us to read "The Grapes of Wrath"..." "This is to ward off the demons of the Pennsylvania countryside." "And, Dan, there's one for you." "And that was the time Hal Clement caught the blackwater fever." "One for you." "And my award for today's work." "You seem to know something about all those things." "Not really, but I had this boyfriend who was really nuts about spooks and devils and all of that." "So he turned me on." " You turn me on." " Yeah?" "Well..." "See you later." "See you later." "And then the tree is just beautiful." "Have you been doing any gardening?" "No, I haven't started that yet." "I also have so much to do and that." "Oh, but the house is lovely." " Oh, thank you." " It really does!" "...They're airlifting supplies in." "The location manager takes one look at the site." "Just as far as the eye can see, it's jungle." "He takes a look at it and says:" "you know, when I was a kid all this used to be apartment houses and hotels." " Well, it's been a very lovely party, anyway." " Well, thank you, I'm glad you could drop by." " Come on, I'll take you home." " OK." "I mean, the police only said that there was... that the place is badly marked and they had no other explanation on that." "We hadn't given the party they would still be alive." "Why, you..." "You can't figure things like that." "Now, don't you go on collecting any free floating guilt now, you hear?" "But it's true." "Well, yeah, it's true." "If we hadn't come out here they would still be alive." "If he'd gotten a sore throat, he would have stayed in the city." "If they'd have turned right instead of left at our gate and gone through Washington's Corner," "I got it, they would still be alive." "But you can't figure things like that." "There is no other explanation for it." "Apples come in taffy gold..." "They're scrump-tu-ous!" "Scrump... they're... they..." "mmmm, they..." "Thank you, erm..." "Thank you very much, my dear." "We're looking for a singer." "I can try it once again." "Who?" "Oh, yeah, quite, put her on." "Hello, honey." "What's happening?" "I just saw Gehrmann in the field again." "He's killed another chicken." "I can't tell you how ugly I find it." " Well, I'll have to talk to him, honey." "" " I just won't have it anymore." "Now, will you relax, I'll be late tonight, but I'll talk to him first thing in the morning, Okay?" "OK." "You know, I heard a baby crying /in the barn the other night." "And when I went out to see, then it sounded like it was coming from the house." "Honey, will you please not do that?" "If there is something disturbing you /in the middle of the night, get me up." "We're auditioning girl singers." "I'm a little busy." "I'll talk to Gehrmann in the morning, OK?" "Bye." "...This place is cursed  let your friends died..." "Well, that's that!" "What did you say to him?" "He was waving his arms all over." "He said something, I said something." "He yelled, I yelled..." "I fired him." "We'll have to get somebody else to work the place." "He said we were fools." "And he'd rather not work for fools." "How did he justify that?" "He said we were marking the devil, especially you." "He inferred that we caused that accident." "Drinking and foolishness..." "You think everybody around here thinks that of us?" "Now remember, the one that eats the most in ten minutes gets the prize." "Easy there, don't leave your teeth in there." "Hey, watch it there, Stevie." "What are you doing, Eric?" "You're getting more on your plate than in your mouth!" "...." "You have more neighbours than you're thinking." "Really." "Come on." "The Schillers here live no more than a mile away from you guys." "How you're doin." "Those friends of yours." "They were killed on my property." " Really, it's a terrible thing." " Yes, right." "Mag?" "Mag, here are the people whose friends were killed on our property." "Paul and Marjorie Worden." "There's a lot of conversation coming and going." "Oh, how do you do." "I'm Marjorie Worden." "I'm Ernest Lincoln." "Weren't those people killed on your property?" "It wasn't on our property, it was on the Schiller property." "Mrs Worden." "Excuse me." "Harry, this is Miss, Mr. and Mrs. Worden." "Your latest guests and neighbours, Harry." "And this is..." "Excise me." "This is Ernest." "Harry's nephew." "Harold?" " Take this out to the hungry ones?" " Sure thing, sure thing, Harry." "Are you..." "Are you retired, sir?" "Oh no, my uncle compiles cook books." "He's very good." " What?" " They want to know what you do." "I put together cook books." "I saw an example of your work with the pentacles." "Real skillful handling the design." "Remarkable!" "Where on earth did you see that?" "They want to know how you know about the pentacle." "I was over at the Schiller's, that's how." "They have one tacked up on their new fence." "The fence the couple crashed into." "Terrible." "Terrible." "I lost." "And your manners along with it." "Go wipe your mouth off." "Terrible accident." "Only child?" "No, no, no." "Small daughter at home in the city." "I put together a Pennsylvania Dutch cookbook once." "Irish, Germanic." "Solid, stick-to-the-ribs kind of food." "I illustrated them with pentacles and hexes." "I got a lot of books on the subject." "I've studied a lot." "Fascinating." "I bet you like to see some of these books." "Come with me into the library." "I'll show you." "I spend all my time in her or in the kitchen." "Since my wife died I hardly ever go to bed." "I had a devil in the house once." "Oh?" "They don't believe." " Do you believe in God?" " Yes." "If you believe in God, then you have to believe in the devil." "They're inseparable." "I got rid of that devil." "Do you want to know how?" "Well, I talked to him, you see, but when he talked to me, I couldn't hear him." "Drove him crazy and he left." "Well, I'm glad to see that you have a sense of humor about this." "I wouldn't want Marjorie here to become too seriously involved in it." "What is that?" "Because he thinks that I'm very gullible." "Both feet off the ground, you know." "Here's some ripe ones." "Now the idea of the circle is for protection." "If a circle like these is drawn and you stand inside, then you're protected from the devil and all his buddies, no matter what." "But the person in the circle is supposed to pray." "The Lord's prayer, or almost anything from the Bible." "Well, they are very lovely but I think it's all rather weird." "Well, that's the way to go through life." "Thumbing your nose at the world." "I'd like to stop by one time and see how you do pentacles." "Oh, yes." "Well, that would be very nice." "Thank you." "I'd like that." "Thank you." "Stevie, be careful, it's wet." "Walk!" "Walk around, just walk all around it." " OK." " That's all you had to do." "Now here's what we're gonna do." "Come on, now don't get your knees in it." "Now this is gonna be fun for you." "We're going to speak an incantation." "You know what that is?" "Well, it's magical words." "Ok?" "Now I'll start out, and when I point to you, you have to repeat after me." "OK." "Let me find it." "In the name of the powerful we sanctify this place for our good and lasting life." "Now Stevie!" "No being natural or supernatural shall be allowed to break this barrier" "Nor bring about our destructions with this chant we ask for protection and grace." "Ready?" "Ok." "Now, you just..." "You repeat after me." "You ready?" "OK." "I am Osiris and Orpheus." " I am Osiris..." " and now: and Orpheus." " and Orpheus." " I am the Judge and the Everlasting." " I am the Judge..." " No, don't do that." " I am the Judge and the Everlasting." " OK." "You have to be serious, or everything falls apart." "You ready?" "Ok." "Alas, I shall never die." "Some great magic cures." "Here is one for overpowering a dragon." "And one to cure the gout." "Here's one for ulcers." "Oh, I'll have to tell Paul about that." "Ulcers." "And here's one to gain a man's love." "Oh, here is splendid one." "How to arouse a woman's passion." "How a devil takes over innocent people and uses them to do his work." "It's like a disguise." "Old wine in new bottles." "It's fascinating." "You know, I thought I heard a baby crying." "I thought I heard a baby crying in the barn the other night." "In the barn?" "The baby crying?" "Did you check it out?" "It was a false alarm." "Evil spirits do not necessarily bring about mayhem themselves but possess a human being to cause ruin and shame." "The devil is thought to materialize as a black cat or a toad and expect kisses from his subjects." "Where have you been?" "I thought I told you not to wander off." "Do you remember Mr. Lincoln, Steve?" "Hello." "Hello, Stevie." "Where have you been?" "In the shed." "All kinds of jars of stuff out there." "Jars of what?" " Jars of..." " Stevie, you have to speak up." "Speak very clearly, and slowly, or Mr. Lincoln will not be able to understand you." "Jars of stuff in the shed!" "Probably the old tool shed." "Everything eventually got stored there." "Would you do me a favor?" "Would you go upstairs and see if Laurie is alright?" " OK." " Thank you." " You're welcome." " Get." " You are psychologist." " No." "What, no." "I just know my own son." "You know this is fascinating." "I'd like to record your account of the other night, if you allow it, when you heard the baby crying." "Yes, but why?" "I like to keep records of odd occurrences like that." "You could come over to my house, or I could bring my portable tape recorder over here." "I recorded a story about woman from Trenton who claimed that a devil came through the key hole of a door ate 13 white seedless grapes from a bowl in the kitchen," "promptly kissed her ravishingly, then return to the kitchen, ate 13 more grapes and let himself out through the key hole, and she never saw him again." "Good bye." "Hello?" "Hi." "I've been trying to find time all day to call you." "Oh, that's alright." "I've been talking to Harry Lincoln about magic spells." "My wife is the witch?" "Listen, I have to go out to the coast first thing tomorrow." "Someone needs some new shirts at the very least." "We're gonna show the new campaign for a client." "Yes, well, I'll get everything ready." "" " How are the kids?" " No problem." "That's fine." "And how are you, Mrs. Worden?" "I'm very well." "I'll see you soon, at 21." "Bye." "We're going to be daddyless for a couple of days." "Where is he going?" "Los Angeles or some other godforsaken place." "Let me out!" "Let me out!" "Let me out!" "Please..." "Help, please..." "I wanna leave this place." "Paul, I wanna leave this place." "Well, I..." "I have a vacation coming up in about three weeks." "I could use one." "We'll go away." "I wanna leave here now." "You gotta be kidding." "Do I look like I'm kidding?" "No, you've been having a bad time?" "The kids getting you down?" "No." "No, it's not the children." "Paul, so many strange things have happened to me and I can't begin to explain to you." "But I feel as if something or someone is trying to possess me." "Yeah." "Me." "Can't you ever be serious?" "I swear that all you ever think about is trying to sell tomato ketchup." "Catsup." "Haven't you been listening to me?" "I wanna leave this place." "I say you're kidding." "I have sunk every dime I've got into this place." "Now we just got here." "I've seen you like this before." "Now you stop it, now." "We'll go on a vacation." "You'll be alright." "I won't stay." "I'm gonna take the children and I'm going to New York." "You can come if you want." "It's up to you." "You hear me?" "Fine." "We'll sell the place." "I'll call the realtor in the morning." "We can go back to the city and live happily ever after." " Hello, Paul." " Good morning, beautiful morning." "Hey, are you on your way home?" "Yeah, I asked my nephew Ernest to drop me off here." "Hoping to catch you on your way to the commuter train." "Something on my mind." "Well, good, come on." "I'll give you a lift." "Marjory's had a couple of nasty experiences on the farm." "Shockers!" "Yes, so I understand." "She even wants me to sell the place." "I think you should." "Why, do you wanna buy it?" "She's been under a terrible stress." "Gehrmann called me." "He said he heard her screaming last night." "He said he would have looked in on her, but he was afraid she'd order him off the place." "He thinks she got you to fire him." "I didn't know about the screaming." "She is really shaken up." "Maybe close to emotional breakdown." "I'd say at this moment she feels she's brought something evil into your lives." "Evil?" "You know, some places are evil." "You can buy them, but you can't always own them." "I'd consider a change if I were you." "I believe there is a devil." "I know it can come disguised to me." "Sometimes you have to accept things you've ridiculed in the past." "You're incapable of resisting a thing if you don't believe it exists." "Don't set up a wall when Marjory tells you how she feels or what she's seen." "Open up." "Listen." "As if her life were in danger." "I know that she's been going through some kind of transition." "But to blame it on the devil is a complete avoidance of reality." "I'm not going to see a realtor." "I don't intend to." "Not for a few days, anyway, until I see whether she's calmed down or not." "If I sold the place now I'd take a terrible loss." "I gotta hunch she's been on something." "You mean like...?" "Maybe she's out squeezing those grapes out back into some high-proof stuff or something." "All I'm asking you is to consider what I'm saying." "You know I'm always at home if you need me." "Yeah, I appreciate it." "Yeah, I'm glad you're there to keep her upright." "There is my place." "Yes." "Stevie!" "Don't play like that with her." "Now take that thing away." "Hey, get away!" "Stevie!" "At this juncture of mankind evil holds the world in his hand." "Light has given way to darkness, and evil seeks our very souls..." "Stevie!" "Stevie?" "Stevie!" "Stevie!" "Steven!" "Stevie!" "Stevie, where are you?" "Stevie!" "I thought I told you to stay in the yard." "Didn't I tell you to stay in the yard?" "Didn't I?" "!" "Didn't I?" "!" "Didn't I?" "!" "I told you not to go in there, Stevie!" "Steven!" "Mummy, no!" "Mummy, no!" "Mummy!" "Mummy!" "Its opposition to the competitor's product I think is just a little passe." "We're gonna have to plan something else for it." "Yes?" "Yes, I'd like to speak to Paul Worden." "Just a minute, please." "Yes, Paul Worden." "Paul," "I need you here." "Come home." "What's the matter?" "Mrs. Worden...?" "My uncle isn't home and I wondered if he was here." " Who was that?" " Paul, listen to me." "You have to come home." "I've done something terrible." "Darling, I'm right in the middle of a business meeting." "Paul!" "Well, alright." "I leave right now." "Mrs. Worden?" "I'm sorry, I haven't seen your uncle for a couple of days." "Well..." "Wow, you really changed this place." "I haven't been here since McDermott got killed." "McDermott?" "He was the man that lived here before you did." "I never thought it was much of an accident myself." "I guess..." "If you thought that you wouldn't have bought the house." "Yeah, I was here... a last time was a week before McDermott got killed." "He was... very shaky." "He said he was gonna burn the place down." "He said:" "I've got to destroy it before it destroys me." "Oh, McDermott was never very stable." "Goodbye, sweet baby." "Well, I guess I'll be going." "Are you gonna be alright?" "Come here, come here." "You're gonna be ok?" "What happened?" "Did you fall down?" "Did your mom do this to you?" "Why did you hit the boy?" "Did he try to burn down the barn?" "No." "Well, did he try to... kill one of the Gehrmann's chickens?" "Did he try to kill anybody?" "No, Paul." "Then why did you hit him?" "He's hell." "And that's why you hit him?" "Paul, I'm not one to hurt the children." "You know that." "I've never even spanked them before." " You were aware of that." " Yes, Marjory, I know that." "That boy looks like..." "He's..." "What happened?" "!" "I realise that... he is really hurt." "Now I have apologized to him and I am trying to apologise to you." "I'm sorry." "You understand that I'm sorry?" "Paul." "Are you alright?" "Yes." " Have a good day." " You too." "You see, I don't believe in physically punishing children." "I don't think that I ever hit Stevie before." "I'm having a hard time believing it was really me." "I would be so ashamed if you had to see him today." "You don't have to shout to make me hear you." "You see... when my wife died I kind of retreated." "I didn't feel like talking to people, so I told everyone I was losing my hearing." "I even said I was going to see a specialist in New York." "I went to New York alright, but you know what I did?" "I went to a girlie show." "You're so depressed." "I can't have you shouting." "A 102 year old woman from German town sent me the recipe for those." "They're supposed to give a long life and a short temper." "I want you to try one." "No." "No, thank you." "I'm not so sure that I want a long life." "And I think I already have a short temper." "It's strange, you know, but I..." "I start out to laugh and I end up crying." "You know, the books that you gave me," "I've been reading them a lot lately." "If I'd thought they would have teared you up like this I wouldn't have given them to you." "No, that's not the books." "Can you believe that I believe that the devil is in my house?" "Yes." "If you believe there is a devil, and you believe the devil is in your house" "then for you it's true." "I don't trust myself." "I'm afraid for the children too." "I have to go home, I've left Stevie with the baby." "Marjorie." "Some things are more powerful than pentacles." "Like love." "It's a powerful force, Marjorie." "I live only a mile away." "The telephone put us on touch in seconds." "Don't hesitate." "I won't." "Apple bar commercial, rerecording take two." "Apples come in chocolate brown..." "They're wonderful." "Apples come in taffy gold..." "They're scrumptious!" "Cut, cut." "Cut, cut, cut..." "We got it, Irene." "Do we?" "Honey, you're giving out with just a little too much rock sound." "Make it sweet." "Remember, this is the girl next door, with freckles." "Freckles?" "All right." "Any time you're ready." "Roll them." "Roll take." "Paul?" "Paul, can you come home?" "Honey, I can't possibly come down tonight." "I'm right in the middle of a session." "As a matter of fact, I'm probably going to be staying in town tonight." "This thing's gonna go late." "I'm sorry, I really..." "I didn't mean to bother you..." "They must think I'm crazy calling you all the time like this." "Why don't you call Harry and have him come over and sit with you?" "Promise me you'll do that." "Yes." "Yes, I'll do that." "Listen, I'm really sorry that I bothered you." "We will talk tomorrow." "Bye." "Bye." "Alan is here." "Thanks, honey." "Send him in." "Come in, Alan." "Hi, Paul." "You've been here all night?" "I slept on the couch." "What do you got for me?" "I have something I think you find interesting." "I found it when I synced your new track." "You see it?" "There it is." "It won't go away." "You're sure it's not just a print?" "It's on the negative." "Ernest, what's the matter?" "I have something to tell you." "My uncle was attacked last night." "I just came from his house." "There are a lots of policemen there." "They said that he was left for murdered, but he didn't die." "He is in a terrible shape though." "They're not letting anybody see him now, because... well, there is not much to see anyway." "I haven't seen much of him myself since you came here." "Perhaps If I had, he wouldn't be like he is." "She couldn't have gone anywhere." "She doesn't have the car." "Find out how soon you can get me to New Hope in a chopper." "Wow, that will cost you." "And make sure there's a cab waiting for me at the airport." "Something wrong, Mom?" "Stevie, go to your room." "Stevie, I told you to go to your room!" "Stevie?" "I wanna tell you some things." "I wanna tell Laurie too." "But she's not goin' to be able to understand the way you are." "Stevie?" "I want you to know that I love you, and Laurie, and daddy very much." "Stevie, it's very important that you hear what I have to say." "Now, Laurie is so small." "And she's not goin' to be able to take care of herself." "You are going to have to help because..." "I can't anymore." "Mama can't trust herself to help either of you anymore." "Sometimes..." "I don't know what I'm goin' to do." "Stevie..." "Listen to..." "Hear me!" "I know." "Harry guessed it." "It's your son, Mrs." "He is the devil's own." "He's been taken from you." "When I heard about Harry I started right over." "Now, is he home, your son?" "He's locked in his room." "And the baby?" "Paul, help us!" "The baby!" "Quick, out of the car!" "We need help!" "Paul!" "Paul!" "Paul, the baby!" "Get the baby!" "Get the baby out, Paul!" "The baby out!" "Marjorie!" "Be damned!" "Marjorie!" "No!" "You can't have him!" "No!" "No!" "You can't have him!" "No!" "Marjorie!" "Stevie!" "Stevie, I love you." "I'm your mother." "I won't let them have you." "Stevie!" "I love you." "I love you." "I won't let them have you." "I love you." "I'm your mother." "Your mother." "I love you." "I'm your mother, Stevie." "I love you." "I love you." "Oh, Stevie, Stevie..." "I love you." "I love you." "Stevie, I love you." "fansubbed by Dave  Orion1"
