"In this book I collected all the prophecies of eibon, handed down from generation to generation over more then 4,000 years." "You ungodly warlock." "Because of you this hotel and this town will be cursed forever." "The seven dreaded gateways are concealed in seven cursed places." "Woe be unto him who ventures near without knowledge." "Be careful what you do because this hotel was built on one of the seven doors of evil and only I could save you." "Woe be unto him who opens one of the seven gateways to hell, because through that gateway evil will invade the world." "I told you Martin, we can't." "All I inherited was the hotel, nothing else." "But it'd be such a pity not to." "Let me at least finish the plans." "No forget it." "I won't even charge you for it." "Look, really it's not the case." "I just wanted to clean up the outside walls a bit, and maybe tidy up inside a bit and then, well, business starts booming we'll see." "It's better we do it now because wait four months or six and believe me, you are going to lay out." "You can't imagine the effect that double digit inflation is having on housing." "Hi Larry." "How's it going?" "Oh, good morning." "I'm gonna have this whole wall finished by tonight." "Great." "Bye." "Outside is ok." "Good old 1800th Louisiana, but the interior." "I mean, hotels just aren't... the eyes!" "The eyes!" "The eyes!" "Eyes!" "Arthur." "Where's that doctor?" "He's on his way." "This man needs to get to a hospital." "I'll clean up the wounds first." "Have you got any water?" "I'm sorry, but till the plumber comes back I'm afraid I can't get you any." "Then we'd better move him right now." "Give me a hand, will you?" "Take the legs ... gently ... ok, up, right." "Thank you doctor." "It's ok." "How can I check up on him?" "Ask me at the hospital." "John McKay." "We're off to a great start." "Let's just hope there isn't any lasting damage." "I sure would like to know how a man can fall off a scaffolding six feet wide." "Liza." "Hey, look at this picture." "Weird." "I wasn't aware that you had already scored a client." "Client?" "There isn't a soul here!" "I guess it must have been Arthur." "Yeah." "Hey, is anybody home?" "Just a minute, I'm coming!" "Good morning." "Are you the plumber?" "Joe, right?" "Yes ma'm." "What's the trouble?" "No, thank you." "I'm afraid I can't tell you." "Nothing comes out of the faucets, and yet somehow the basement is flooded." "You tell me." "The whole basement?" "And how!" "Well, let's take a look." "Ok!" "Follow me, this way." "Off we go." "I hope it isn't too serious." "Watch out, the stairs are really slippery." "I'm an old sewer rat." "Well, here it is." "How long do you think it will take?" "It'll take as long as it takes!" "Martha?" "I made this little pathway to the far end just for Joe." "Thank you Martha." "Well, I'll go take that look." "Where is Arthur?" "He is upstairs, tidying up, we're doing our best to help yeah, I know." "Thank you." "Listen, I'll be going into town later." "Would you please make me out a list of all the things we'll need?" "Ok, don't worry." "Arthur!" "What are you doing in my room?" "I was looking for keys." "Which keys?" "I told ma I was gonna clean up the rooms but some of them are locked." "Well, I just have to find those keys," "Arthur, won't I?" "Or else we'll simply call a locksmith." "In the meantime, could you go up on the roof and check the chimney?" "I think it is clogged." "I heard a car drive up before." "Was it Joe?" "Yeah." "Why?" "You are Liza, aren't you?" "Yes." "My name is Emily." "I've been looking for you." "Joe!" "Joe!" "Joe!" "Arthur?" "Arthur?" "I don't understand, Emily." "How do you ... don't worry." "I know the way by heart." "And there's always Dickey here." "Come Liza." "I'll show you the way." "Joe?" "Emily." "Why did you say I must give up the hotel?" "I can't explain it to you." "Just take my word for it." "Go back to where you came from and hurry." "What's the matter?" "I don't know." "He is in amazingly good condition for a corpse who is supposed to have been dead for six years." "Well, the d.a. Said to open him up and see what he had for breakfast." "How about we give it a try with ..." "Forget it." "You wanna wire this old guy into your brain wave machine?" "Why not?" "Okay." "Okay." "But you're on your own with this one." "I warn you though." "When I get back," "I'm gonna give him an autopsy." "Harris here." "Miller want you up at 24 on the double." "I'm on my way honey." "Wait here for me Jill." "I won't be long." "Mommy!" "Mommy!" "So, what did you do in the big apple?" "Just about everything a girl could do without losing her good english breeding and reputation, modeling, dancing, secretary." "I almost became an unsuccessful fashion designer." "When this letter arrived announcing the inheritance." "Big surprise, uh?" "More or less." "I mean, I knew I had a rich uncle who was a bachelor with a lot of real estate imagined for one day to the next but I never that I'd be running a hotel." "Tell me, with all those accidents, you know, Joe the plumber and the house painter." "Do you think you'll give up now?" "I couldn't do that if I wanted to." "This is my last chance." "Either I run this hotel or I go on relief." "Well I tell you what, when you get the hotel fixed up," "I'll come and stay there so you can book me a room now." "Sure, you've got it." "The best in the house." "Of course." "How long do you think it'll be before it's ready?" "I don't know, it's driving on so much." "Arthur and Martha are more of a hindrance then a help." "They just can't seem to get it together." "Well, if you hired them, you can fire them." "But, I can't fire them." "They came with the hotel." "Strange, I've never heard of them." "Dr. McKay, dr." "McKay, you're wanted on the phone." "It's the hospital." "Thank you." "Excuse me." "Oh ..." "Harris, hi." "What?" "... in heaven give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us." "Lead us not to temptation, but deliver us from evil." "Amen." "...and as we commit the souls of" "Joe and Mary Ann, to our father in heaven we pray together, oh merciful father, watch over Jill, their daughter whom Joe and Mary Ann's untimely departure has left alone in this world, as a helpless child" "comfort her, and guide her, and give her strength we ask this, oh lord, in the name of the father and of the son, and of the holy ghost." "Amen." "Courage, my child." "Liza!" "Liza!" "Liza!" "Emily?" "Why didn't you listen to me Liza?" "We blind see things more clearly." "I wanted to spare you, but now" "I'll have to tell you everything." "60 years ago everybody in this hotel disappeared." "Every last person." "A painter called Schweik, who lived here closeted in his room had found a key." "What key?" "The seven gateways to hell." "This house was constructed on one of the ..." "Who else is here?" "There's nobody here." "I can feel a presence." "Somebody else is in here." "No, Emily." "Nobody is here." "Yes, it's him." "He is here again." "He has come back to the hotel." "Get a hold of yourself," "Emily, please." "What is this?" "That?" "A painting, just an old painting." "There's the bell." "That's the bell from room 36." "That's where he was killed, in his room!" "36 was Schweik's room, the man who found the key." "He has returned, Liza." "Don't ever enter that room." "Now look Emily, I've lived in N.Y." "all my life and if there is one thing" "I've learned not to believe in it's ghosts." "I was lucky to inherit this hotel." "The first good break I've had." "It'll take more than a faulty electrical contact or some crazy story to make me give it up." "Emily!" "Emily!" "Emily!" "Liza!" "John!" "Hey, hey, calm down, calm down." "Take it easy, take it easy, come on." "But I saw him." "There, nailed to the wall." "He ... see these nails." "Well, they certainly look old, but this seems more like rust than blood." "Now it seems so impossible, so absurd." "And yet ..." "I don't know." "Now look, come and tell me exactly what you saw, hmm?" "No, never mind." "It's useless." "I guess I must have a pretty wild imagination." "Hmm?" "I got carried away with that story that Emily told me about room 36." "Emily?" "Who's Emily?" "The blind girl that lives in the old house by the crossroads." "There's no blind girl living there." "And I know everyone around here." "The book!" "The what?" "The book that was on the desk." "It's gone!" "Open two walls and enter the basement and then you'll have a room for a kitchen and maybe for a laundry." "Huh?" "What do you think of that?" "Martin," "I've already told you." "I don't have the money." "Do whatever you want to as long as it doesn't cost." "I have carte blanche?" "Carte blanche, but not a blank check." "Okay?" "Okay." "Well, the first thing we do is bring someone in to pump out all the water." "That I can get done real cheap." "And then ... oh, and on the other side" "I'll make a living room and a game room." "Have you got the original plans of the cellar by any chance?" "There was another book here." "A different one." "You wanna buy the book no, not this one." "The one that was here before, just a second ago." "That book has been there for two years." "Nobody wants to buy it." "It's very nice though." "Very, very interesting." "Liza!" "What's wrong?" "About the book?" "I was just looking for..." "what?" "Is anything the matter?" "You look sick." "You're sure it's nothing?" "I'm just a little tired that's all." "I think I'm beginning to see things." "I get the picture." "Later I'll have to go to the town hall and dig out the originals from the files." "Re-open that hotel?" "Uh, huh." "Anyway, all the turn of the century building plans are on those upper shelves there." "They should be under what the cards say, m 13,012." "Well, let's get them down and look at them." "You surprised me Mr. Avery." "You haven't heard about our town employees latest labor victory?" "It tooks three weeks strike to win." "Yeah." "It was something about lunch." "An earlier break." "I'm sure you'll be ok on your own." "I'll be out until one or a quarter of." "You feel completely at home now, you hear?" "Have a happy lunch." "Thank you." "I'm gonna lock the door, that way you won't be disturbed." "First from one to two, and now from twelve to one." "Three weeks of picketing." "A great labor victory!" "Now, then." "M13, 012." "Manderville." "Seven doors hotel." "Hotel ... seven doors." "What the ...?" ""The seven dreaded gateways to hell are concealed in seven cursed places."" "And the day the gates of hell are opened, on that day the dead will walk the earth."" "Good boy, Dicky, good boy." "Who's there?" "Who's there?" "Answer me!" "I know you're there!" "Where are you?" "Who are you?" "Who?" "I know it's you." "I can sense it." "What do you want from me now?" "What is it now?" "Schweik, I know you're here." "No, no, Schweik!" "Go away!" "I don't want to go back!" "You can't take me." "I don't want to go back." "Stop tormenting me!" "Don't get any closer!" "Don't get any closer!" "No!" "Go away!" "Leave me in peace." "Don't touch me!" "You can't take me back!" "I did what I've been asked, now leave me alone!" "Go!" "Go away!" "No!" "I never spoke." "You can't condemn me!" "I don't want to go back!" "Attack Dicky!" "Attack Dicky!" "Attack!" "Dicky!" "Dicky!" "Don't let them get near me!" "Attack!" "Attack!" "Chase them away!" "Attack!" "Get rid of them, Dicky!" "Attack!" "Dicky!" "Attack!" "Good boy." "Good boy." "Good boy, Dicky." "You made them go away." "Martha?" "Arthur?" "Arthur?" "No!" "No!" "No!" "Stop it!" "Liza!" "Liza!" "Stop it!" "Liza, come on, it's me." "Come on, calm down." "Come sit down," "I saw Arthur, come on sit down." "He was dead but ..." "Liza, Liza, stop it!" "I'm sick of hearing all these stories." "What stories?" "Well, like the first one." "There was a man nailed to the wall in room 36." "And the blind girl that doesn't exist." "Emily's real." "She does exist." "I saw her." "I spoke to her." "The girl that lives in the old house by the crossroads?" "Yes!" "That house has been abandoned for the last fifty years." "But that's not true." "It's not possible." "I was there!" "I mean I went there." "I was there." "Yes, I know you were there." "I found the book you left for me to read." "You found the book?" "And I read it." "What did it say?" "Show me where is Arthur." "Here?" "And he tried to kill you?" "Huh?" "Please john, you must believe me." "I swear." "So where is Arthur now?" "But I don't know!" "He attacked me!" "I was trying to break free." "He was here!" "The cuts on my ..." "there are no!" "I must be going crazy." "Perhaps, or else ..." "Who are you Liza?" "Who are you really?" "John, I don't understand you." "What a question." "Why do you ask?" "Because according to the book of eibon, this hotel is one of the seven gateways to hell." ""And you will face the sea of darkness and all therein that may be explored."" "Strange." "There isn't a soul in sight." "Yeah." "Well, we'll be at the hospital pretty soon." "I wanna talk to Harris." "Where is everybody?" "Let's try the laboratory." "But John ..." "No, Liza, I'm a doctor, and I won't accept irrational explanations" "I want to talk to Harris." "I'm gonna call the FBI." "John!" "The elevator!" "Get the hell going!" "Jill?" "Jill!" "Jill!" "Harris!" "What the hell is going on around here?" "I don't know." "I think I'm going crazy." "Here they come!" "It's Jill." "She was in the autopsy theater all alone." "This way." "Come on." "Come on." "No!" "We're under the hotel." "Impossible!" "It's impossible!" "It's crazy." "What's happened?" "Why are we here?" "Come on." ""And you will face the sea of darkness and all therein that may be explored.""
