Man: GOOD MORNING, MR. BRIGGS.
YOU REMEMBER DR. MARTHA RICHARDS.
TWO YEARS AGO, WHILE ON VACATION IN AUSTRIA,
SHE MET AND MARRIED DR. KURT ZUBROVNIK.
SHE NEVER RETURNED TO AMERICA,
CONTINUING HER EXTREMELY IMPORTANT RESEARCH WORK
WITH HER HUSBAND IN AUSTRIA.
ABOUT A YEAR AGO,
KURT ZUBROVNIK WAS BURNED TO DEATH
IN A LABORATORY FIRE IN THEIR HOME.
MARTHA WENT ON WORKING AFTER HER HUSBAND'S DEATH,
BUT RECENTLY STOPPED SENDING US
THE RESULTS OF HER EXPERIMENTS.
WE HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE IT IS BECAUSE THIS MAN,
SIGMUND POLYAK, IS PRESSURING HER
TO WORK BEHIND THE IRON CURTAIN.
IF IT WERE AN ORDINARY PRESSURE,
WE COULD FIGHT IT, BUT POLYAK IS A MEDIUM,
AND MARTHA ZUBROVNIK IS BEING ASKED TO DEFECT
BY THE GHOST OF HER DEAD HUSBAND.
MR. BRIGGS, YOUR MISSION, SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT,
WOULD BE TO KEEP HER
FROM GOING BEHIND THE IRON CURTAIN
AND GET HER WORKING FOR US AGAIN.
AS ALWAYS, SHOULD YOU OR ANY OF YOUR I.M. FORCE
BE CAUGHT OR KILLED,
THE SECRETARY WILL DISAVOW ANY KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR ACTIONS.
PLEASE DISPOSE OF THIS RECORDING
IN THE USUAL MANNER.
[ SIZZLING ]
Man, whispering: Martha...
Martha...
this is Kurt.
Barney: YOU CAN'T SEE A BEAM OF LIGHT, CORRECT?
IT'S BECAUSE I'M USING A BLACK LIGHT.
NOW WATCH WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I PUT MY HAND
OVER THE SLAVE PROJECTOR.
Dan: VERY NICE.
ALL RIGHT, BE A PSYCHIC RESEARCH TEAM
ANXIOUS TO DOCUMENT A VALID SUPERNATURAL EVENT.
I CAN'T GO WITH YOU, BECAUSE MARTHA ZUBROVNIK KNOWS ME.
ARIANA --
WHITE WINE AND SODA, PLEASE.
WOULD YOU CARE FOR A DRINK?
[ ALL CHUCKLING ]
OH, I BROUGHT A TAPE HERE OF A SEANCE I CONDUCTED.
I'D LIKE YOU TO HEAR IT.
Dan: DR. ZUBROVNIK SWORE TO HIS WIFE BEFORE HIS DEATH,
IF IT WAS POSSIBLE FOR HIM TO COME BACK FROM THE GRAVE,
HE WOULD... AND HE SEEMS TO BE DOING IT.
THIS IS THE MAN THROUGH WHOM HE SPEAKS.
FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH HIS BACKGROUND.
A FAKE ON THE CASE, HUH?
OH, I WISH YOU WOULDN'T USE THAT WORD.
FAKES EXIST, ARIANA.
I KNOW, BUT... YOU KNOW HOW I HATE
ANY DISHONESTY IN REGARD TO THE SUPERNATURAL.
I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE SUPERNATURAL.
NEITHER DO I.
WHY DON'T WE JUST CONVINCE MRS. ZUBROVNIK
SHE'S BEING TAKEN?
WE DON'T KNOW THE GHOST IS NOT REAL.
THANK YOU FOR THAT.
OH, COME ON, DAN.
TO MARTHA ZUBROVNIK,
THE SPIRIT OF HER DEAD HUSBAND EXISTS.
YOU CAN'T FIGHT THAT BELIEF WITH LOGIC.
WELL, IF YOU CAN'T FIGHT GHOSTS WITH LOGIC,
FIGHT GHOSTS WITH GHOSTS.
THAT'S RIGHT.
WHY DON'T YOU USE THE EARPHONES?
DAN WAS AT THE SEANCE, AND HE'S FAMILIAR WITH IT.
DAN...YOU KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT ME.
WHY SO MUCH SELLING,
SO MUCH LOUD CONFIDENCE IN ME?
ROLLIN AND BARNEY ARE SURE
THAT YOU'RE AS MUCH A FAKE AS POLYAK.
FOR THE SAKE OF THE MISSION,
I DON'T WANT THEM ABSOLUTELY SURE.
[ BEE BUZZING ]
A BEE.
BEES DON'T FLY AT NIGHT.
HELLO!
I THOUGHT WE WERE EXPECTED.
HELLO?
HELLO!
[ GROWLING ]
[ SNARLING ]
SHH.
[ GROWLING ]
WE WON'T HURT YOU.
WE WON'T HURT HIM?
SHH.
STAY. STAY.
BE CALM.
REMEMBER MANY KINDNESSES.
GOOD DOG.
Woman: WHO'S THAT?
DR. ZUBROVNIK?
YES. I BELIEVE WE'RE EXPECTED.
OH, YES, OF COURSE.
I'M SO SORRY, MISTER...?
ROLLIN HAND.
MADAME DOMBE? MR. COLLIER.
DID YOU HAVE A DIFFICULT TRIP FROM VIENNA?
NO, IT WAS QUITE LOVELY UNTIL JUST NOW,
WHEN WE RAN INTO YOUR DOG.
WHAT DOG?
A BIG DOG THAT LOOKS AS IF IT MIGHT BE PART WOLF.
WILBUR? WHERE DID HE GO?
HE RAN OUT THE DOOR.
IT WAS OPEN WHEN WE ARRIVED.
WHEN MY HUSBAND DIED, THE DOG WENT WILD,
AND HE HASN'T BEEN SEEN IN THE HOUSE SINCE.
LET ME SHOW YOU TO YOUR ROOMS.
OH, THANK YOU.
YOU MUST BE SO TIRED AFTER THE LONG TRIP.
I'M SO PLEASED YOU COULD COME.
HAVE YOU HAD SOMETHING TO EAT?
YES, WE STOPPED ON THE WAY.
OH, MR. POLYAK, THESE ARE THE PSYCHIC RESEARCH PEOPLE.
SIGMUND POLYAK, AND MY ASSISTANT, MR. KROGER.
HOW DO YOU DO?
ROLLIN HAND.
ARIANA DOMBE.
BARNEY COLLIER.
THE SKEPTICS.
YOU SHOULD BE GLAD THAT THEY'RE HERE.
THEY CAN ONLY HELP TO DOCUMENT
WHAT YOU'VE ALREADY PROVED.
WE'D MUCH PREFER FINDING REAL EVIDENCE
OF THE SUPERNATURAL THAN NOT FINDING IT.
YES, OF COURSE.
WILL YOU EXCUSE ME?
COME THIS WAY.
GENTLEMEN, THIS IS YOUR ROOM.
OH, I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND.
I LEFT TWO CASES OF EQUIPMENT
IN THE HALLWAY DOWNSTAIRS.
OF COURSE NOT.
WE'VE HEARD A GREAT DEAL
ABOUT YOUR INTEREST IN THE SPIRIT WORLD.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO A DEMONSTRATION.
PERHAPS YOU'D CARE TO JOIN US IN AN HOUR OR SO.
YOU AND MR. POLYAK?
YES...AND MY HUSBAND.
[ BUZZING ]
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
LOOKS LIKE IT'S TRYING TO RAIN.
YES.
SO, CAMERAS WITH ALARMS
AND CLOCKS THAT RECORD THE EXACT TIME THEY'RE TRIPPED.
YES, AND ELECTRIC EYES THAT TRIP THE CAMERAS,
AND A HEAT SENSOR THAT WILL RECORD
ANY MOVEMENT OF GHOSTLY MATERIAL.
IS EVERYTHING ALMOST READY?
ALMOST.
GOOD.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
THIS CASKET HAS BEEN LOCKED
SINCE MY HUSBAND PUT A MESSAGE IN IT
JUST AFTER WE WERE MARRIED.
HE SAID THAT IF ANYTHING SHOULD HAPPEN TO HIM,
HE WOULD TRY TO COME BACK TO ME.
TONIGHT IS THE ANNIVERSARY OF HIS DEATH.
NOT ANOTHER SOUL KNOWS WHAT IS IN THIS BOX BUT ME.
THAT'S LIKE THE MESSAGE HOUDINI LEFT FOR DUNNINGER.
I THINK WE HAVE GREATER POSSIBILITIES.
KURT AND I WERE A LITTLE CLOSER
THAN HOUDINI AND DUNNINGER.
PLEASE, SIT DOWN, EVERYONE.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
NOW...JOIN HANDS.
YOUR LEFT FOOT SHOULD BE TOUCHING
THE FOOT OF THE PERSON SITTING BESIDE YOU.
MY CONTROL IS NAMED DUDOIR.
HE WAS AN ALSATIAN PUGILIST
WHO WAS KILLED IN THE BOXING RING.
I WILL TRY TO REACH HIM.
DUDOIR.
WE ARE HERE.
DUDOIR, WE ARE SIX TONIGHT.
[ THUNDER RUMBLING ]
DUDOIR, WE ARE WAITING.
I FEEL THAT YOU ARE COMING CLOSER...
APPROACHING FROM BEYOND.
COME INTO ME, DUDOIR.
COME INTO THIS PLACE THROUGH ME.
DUDOIR, I FEEL THAT YOU ARE NEAR.
WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO COME?
Dudoir: THERE IS DOUBT.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
YES, THERE IS DOUBT, DUDOIR, BUT IT WILL GO AWAY.
WE ARE GRATEFUL, DUDOIR, GRATEFUL,
THAT YOU HAVE COME TO US...
SO QUICKLY.
Dudoir: THE PROMISE MADE WILL BE FULFILLED...
BUT THERE ARE THOSE AMONG YOU
WHO DO NOT BELIEVE.
OH...PLEASE, COME BACK, DUDOIR.
THEY MEAN YOU NO HARM.
DUDOIR, DON'T LEAVE US.
EYES CLOSED, EVERYONE. NO ONE MOVE.
Dudoir: I...AM...WITH YOU.
THERE IS A MESSAGE FOR MARTHA.
YOUR WORK MUST GO QUICKLY TO ITS CONCLUSION.
WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED,
KURT WILL COME TO YOU HIMSELF.
FOUR...SEVEN...
BACK 19.
DEATH, NOT LIFE,
IS THE OVERTURE TO ETERNITY.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
NO ONE ELSE KNEW.
I WAS THE ONLY ONE.
I WILL TRY TO WORK HARDER.
I WILL TRY, I WILL TRY.
OH, KURT.
KURT.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
YES.
NO ONE ELSE COULD HAVE KNOWN
THE COMBINATION...
OR THE MESSAGE.
I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO KNEW.
FOUR...SEVEN...
BACK 19.
OPEN THE BOX QUICKLY, PLEASE.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
"DEATH, NOT LIFE,
"IS THE OVERTURE TO ETERNITY.
KURT."
THANK YOU, MR. POLYAK.
AND THANK YOU, DEAR, DEAR KURT.
THERE IS LIFE AFTER DEATH.
[ BUZZING ]
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
WERE YOU IMPRESSED BY WHAT YOU WITNESSED?
VERY.
AND YOU, MR. COLLIER?
VERY IMPRESSED.
I WAS GREATLY MOVED.
IT SEEMS TO ME THERE IS NO DOUBT
THERE IS A SPIRIT IN THIS HOUSE.
MARTHA, I WILL SEE YOU TO YOUR ROOM.
Martha: GOOD NIGHT.
Barney: GOOD NIGHT.
[ THUNDER RUMBLES ]
WHAT ABOUT THAT BOX?
THE BOX COULDN'T HAVE BEEN TAMPERED WITH.
THE RUST ON THE HINGES WAS REAL.
YOU SAW THE PAPER -- YELLOW WITH AGE.
AND THE SEALS ON THE ENVELOPE HAVE NOT BEEN TOUCHED.
ARIANA, HE WAS GOOD,
BUT WASN'T HIS VOICE A LITTLE OBVIOUS?
PERHAPS.
PERHAPS? COME ON. LEVEL WITH US, ARIANA.
THAT WAS NONSENSE.
PERHAPS.
I'LL TRY TO CONCENTRATE.
KURT WANTS YOUR WORK TO GO WELL
AND TO BE COMPLETED.
[ ALARM BUZZES ]
[ DOG BARKING ]
[ GROWLING ]
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
[ HOWLS ]
COULD HE BE ANGRY WITH ME?
POSSIBLY.
EVERYTHING ISN'T SUPERNATURAL.
IT WAS VIBRATION FROM THE THUNDERSTORM.
THE WHOLE HOUSE SHOOK.
BARNEY, MAYBE MR. POLYAK IS RIGHT.
YOU CLAIM TO BE OBJECTIVE, MR. HAND.
YOU KNOW YOU DON'T REALLY BELIEVE THAT.
AND WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?
I AM A MEDIUM. I FEEL IT.
YOU ARE NOT ORIENTED TO BE A BELIEVER.
[ THUNDER RUMBLES ]
WHY DID YOU LET HER THINK POLYAK IS RIGHT?
WELL, WE MUSTN'T LET HER FEEL WE SUSPECT POLYAK
IF WE'RE GOING TO EXPOSE HIM.
WELL, ARE YOU SURE YOU CAN?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WELL, THERE'S NO NEED TO LIE ABOUT IT.
I TOLD HIM THE TRUTH.
THERE IS A SPIRIT -- A GHOST, IF YOU PREFER --
IN THIS HOUSE.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE JUST BEING TACTFUL.
I'M NEVER TACTFUL ABOUT THE SUPERNATURAL.
WELL, THERE'S SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW.
YOU SEE, MADAME ZUBROVNIK WANTS TO BELIEVE
THAT THE SPIRIT HERE IS KIND AND LOVING.
BUT THE SPIRIT HERE ISN'T KIND AND LOVING.
UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S QUITE MALEVOLENT.
YOU SEE, SPIRITS DON'T USUALLY MOVE ABOUT.
THEY GENERALLY REMAIN
NEAR THE PLACE WHERE THE DEATH OCCURRED,
AND THAT'S WHERE YOU'LL FIND THE TRUTH, NOT HERE.
AND ZUBROVNIK WAS BURNED TO DEATH
IN HIS LABORATORY.
[ THUNDER RUMBLING ]
[ BUZZING ]
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
KILL THE LIGHT.
WE'LL USE THE BURNER.
YOU WANT US TO HOLD HANDS OR SOMETHING?
NO, NO, NO.
I WANT YOU TO SIT QUIET AND TRY TO HELP ME.
[ THUNDER RUMBLES ]
MY CONTROL IS A YOUNG GIRL OF 16, FRANCES,
WHO DIED IN 1900.
FRANCES.
FRANCES?
CAN YOU HEAR ME?
THIS IS ARIANA.
I AM FAR FROM HOME...
BUT I KNOW THAT YOU CAN HEAR ME.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
FRANCES!
PLEASE.
HEAR ME...
AND TALK TO ME.
WE ARE ANXIOUS.
WE ARE SO ANXIOUS...
TO TALK TO YOU.
FRANCES.
Frances: [ Whispering ] Ariana...
I...hear...you.
FRANCES.
FRANCES...
THERE WAS A FIRE HERE A YEAR AGO,
AND A MAN WAS BURNED.
[ FRANCES GASPING ]
YES!
FRANCES.
FRANCES, CAN YOU HEAR ME?
FRANCES!
FRANCES, PLEASE COME BACK AND TALK TO US.
YOU WERE HERE A MOMENT AGO.
Frances: AAAHHHH!
I...AM...HERE.
FRANCES!
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
THERE IS DEATH...
AND AGONY AND TORMENT CLOSE TO YOU.
I DON'T LIKE TO TALK ABOUT IT.
IT...HAS AN...
UNQUENCHABLE POWER.
IT HATES. IT HATES!
IT CANNOT BE CONTROLLED...
AND IT WILL KILL!
OH.
THAT WAS THE SPIRIT OF THE FIRE...
BUT IT'S NOT THE ONE WE EXPECTED.
IT'S ANOTHER SPIRIT.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
[ BUZZING ]
OH.
ARIANA, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
YES.
THE SPIRIT OF THE MAN WHO DIED IN THE FIRE --
THAT WAS NOT THE SPIRIT OF KURT ZUBROVNIK.
THAT'S IT. KURT ZUBROVNIK IS ALIVE.
I DON'T KNOW HOW I KNOW.
MY SUBCONSCIOUS KNOWS, AND THAT'S HOW IT TELLS ME.
YOU MEAN YOU CAME TO THE CONCLUSION
THAT KURT IS ALIVE ON THE BASIS OF HER SEANCE?
NO, I DON'T KNOW
HOW SHE CAME TO THAT CONCLUSION,
BUT IT'S LOGICAL.
NOW, LOOK.
THE COMBINATION OF THE LOCK,
THE CONTENTS OF THE LETTER.
NOW, LOOK.
WE BOTH KNOW THAT BOX WAS NOT TAMPERED WITH.
NEITHER WAS THE LETTER. SO KURT IS ALIVE.
THEY'RE GETTING INFORMATION FROM HIM.
THEY'RE EVEN TORTURING HIM, POSSIBLY.
IF KURT IS ALIVE, WHAT WAS THAT?
THAT WAS THE SPIRIT OF THE MAN WHO REALLY DIED.
IT'S QUITE POSSIBLE
THAT THEY COULD HAVE BURNED SOMEONE ELSE.
THEY KNEW OF KURT'S INTEREST IN SPIRITUALISM
THROUGH POLYAK,
SO THEY FAKED HIS DEATH
IN ORDER TO GET CONTROL OF MARTHA'S RESEARCH.
NOW ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS...IS FIND KURT.
WHEN I PUT THE LUGGAGE IN THE STOREROOM,
I SAW A TRUNK IN THERE THAT BELONGS TO POLYAK.
LET'S GET A LOOK AT IT.
NOW, WAIT A MINUTE. WHAT ABOUT MARTHA?
SUPPOSE SHE'S NOT ON THE UP-AND-UP.
SUPPOSE SHE'S FAKING THIS WHOLE THING TO DEFECT.
IT'S TOO ELABORATE.
SHE WOULDN'T GO TO ALL THAT TROUBLE.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE TRUNK.
MAYBE THERE'S A CLUE AS TO WHERE KURT IS HIDDEN.
ALL RIGHT. ARIANA?
NO, YOU LEAVE ME ALONE IN HERE.
YOU TRY YOUR WAY, AND I'LL TRY MINE.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
THAT'S IT.
[ CLICK ]
YOU GOT IT.
THAT WASN'T ME.
IT'S BOLTED.
GET THE WINDOW.
CAN WE GET OUT THE WINDOW?
WE'RE TOO HIGH TO JUMP.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
GIVE ME A HAND.
GET THAT ELECTRIC HEATER OVER THERE
AND RIP THE CORD OFF OF IT.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
OH!
HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE, MADAME?
THE DOOR WAS OPEN.
ARE YOU IN THE HABIT OF ENTERING
EVERY OPEN DOOR?
WELL, ISN'T THIS WHERE THE FIRE STARTED?
WHY DOES THAT CONCERN YOU?
WELL, I'M INTERESTED
IN THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE DEATH.
[ COUGHING ]
[ HUMMING ]
I THINK THE MAGNET IS GOING TO WORK.
[ GRUNTS ]
ALMOST HAD IT.
GOOD BOY.
GET THE TRUNK.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
WE WERE ONLY DISCUSSING THE SUPERNATURAL.
NOW, WHY SHOULD THAT UPSET YOU?
I SHOULD PREFER
NOT TO CONTINUE THIS DISCUSSION.
KROGER.
I WANT A WORD WITH YOU.
AND I WITH YOU.
[ FOOTSTEPS ]
HOW ARE YOU BOYS DOING?
DID YOU FIND ANYTHING?
NOT WHAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR.
HOW ABOUT YOU?
I HAD A VISION OF KURT ZUBROVNIK, OF STREETS,
A SMALL COMMUNITY NOT FAR FROM HERE,
AND THE BUTCHERING OF LAMBS AND CATTLE.
THE TOWN WE DROVE THROUGH.
MAYBE.
THAT'S AS GOOD A GUESS AS ANY.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
GENTLEMEN.
GOOD EVENING, MR. POLYAK.
SOMEBODY HAS TRIPPED THIS CAMERA BY HAND.
MY APOLOGIES.
I ACCIDENTALLY MOVED THE LEVER.
LET'S SEE IF YOU CAUGHT ANYTHING.
THAT LOOKS LIKE THE WAY OUT.
[ WHIMPERING ]
COME ON, ARIANA.
WAIT A SECOND.
TRYING TO FIND KURT ZUBROVNIK
WAS A GOOD IDEA 10 MINUTES AGO.
[ DOG WHIMPERING ]
KURT ZUBROVNIK IS DEAD.
WHAT'S THAT BLUR IN THE CORNER?
IT'S A BEE.
[ BUZZING ]
THERE'S NO POINT IN GOING ON. HE'S DEAD.
THEY'LL MOVE THE BODY IMMEDIATELY.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS? HOW DID HE DIE?
I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT.
ALL I KNOW IS WHAT I KNOW, WHAT I FEEL.
ARE YOU SURE ABOUT WHAT YOU FEEL?
ALL I KNOW IS WHAT I FEEL, NOT WHAT I THINK.
[ DOG WHIMPERS ]
[ RINGING ]
HELLO?
YES, THIS IS HE.
YES.
KROGER.
WHAT HAPPENED?
I THINK KURT IS DEAD.
IF POLYAK'S SOURCE OF INFORMATION IS GONE,
AND HE LOSES CONTROL OVER MARTHA,
HE COULD MAKE A SUDDEN MOVE.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
I'M SO SORRY, BUT WE HAVE TO LEAVE TOMORROW.
FORGIVE ME FOR BRINGING YOU SUCH A GREAT DISTANCE
FOR SO BRIEF A VISIT.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
I MUST COMPLETE MY WORK.
AWAY FROM THIS PLACE,
DR. ZUBROVNIK WILL BE ABLE TO CONCENTRATE.
I'M AFRAID YOU'LL HAVE TO PREPARE TO LEAVE AS WELL.
IF SHE LEAVES WITH POLYAK, WE'RE FINISHED.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
[ SLAM ]
Kroger: POLYAK, THE DOOR IS LOCKED!
AHH!
[ GLASS BREAKS ]
KROGER!
WHAT IS IT?
KROGER!
[ THUNDER RUMBLING ]
HE'S DEAD.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
OUR ONLY CHANCE IS TO HAVE ANOTHER SEANCE
BEFORE THEY GET AWAY.
BARNEY, HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE YOU
TO RIG UP THE PROJECTOR IN THE LIVING ROOM?
TWENTY TO TWENTY-FIVE MINUTES AT THE MOST.
ARIANA, I WANT YOU TO GET MARTHA TO AGREE
TO ANOTHER SEANCE TONIGHT, IN HALF AN HOUR.
AT THIS SEANCE, I WANT YOU TO GO INTO A TRANCE.
HAVE THE GHOST OF KURT ZUBROVNIK
ACCUSE POLYAK OF BEING A MURDERER,
AND HAVING HELD HIM PRISONER.
OH, ROLLIN, I CAN'T. I'M SORRY.
THE ONLY WAY TO BREAK A MAN LIKE THIS
IS TO HAVE HIM TRAP HIMSELF.
YOU MUSTN'T ASK ME TO DO THIS.
YOU KNOW WHAT I TOLD BRIGGS.
I DON'T LIKE BEING DISHONEST ABOUT THE SUPERNATURAL.
BARNEY, WE'RE ON OUR OWN. BETTER GET STARTED.
ARIANA, CAN YOU AT LEAST STALL MARTHA
FOR HALF AN HOUR WHILE WE'RE IN THE LIVING ROOM?
OH, DON'T BE ANGRY WITH ME.
ALL RIGHT. I'LL TRY TO ARRANGE ANOTHER SEANCE.
BUT THE REST IS UP TO YOU.
Martha: YES? WHO IS IT?
IT'S ARIANA.
I KNOW HOW TIRED YOU MUST BE,
BUT I'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU.
COME IN.
WHAT IS IT?
WELL, MADAME, I WAS HOPING TO PERSUADE YOU
TO PUT YOUR TRIP OFF FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS.
WE'VE BEEN SO IMPRESSED BY WHAT'S HAPPENED HERE,
WE'D REALLY LIKE TO DOCUMENT IT.
I THINK THAT YOU'VE GOT ENOUGH ALREADY.
I MUST GET AWAY FROM HERE AND CONCENTRATE
AND COMPLETE MY WORK.
THAT'S WHAT KURT WANTS.
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
MARTHA, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
MARTHA, MAY I COME INSIDE?
YES. COME IN.
I, UM...WAS HOPING TO PERSUADE DR. ZUBROVNIK
TO DELAY HER TRIP FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS.
WERE YOU?
WE CANNOT DELAY OUR DEPARTURE
JUST FOR PSYCHIC RESEARCH.
BUT I FEEL HER HUSBAND'S PRESENCE VERY CLOSE TO ME.
YOU FEEL HIM?
YES. LIKE YOU, I'M A MEDIUM, AND I FEEL I CAN REACH HIM.
A MEDIUM?
IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL IF HE COULD COME TO ME
THROUGH SOMEONE ELSE AS WELL.
THERE WILL BE NO ONE ELSE.
WELL, THEN, PERHAPS MADAME ZUBROVNIK
AND I ALONE COULD --
NO! YOU MUSTN'T DENY HIM TO ME.
HE MAY HAVE SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO SAY TO ME.
PLEASE BRING HIM TO ME, EITHER OF YOU.
VERY WELL, BUT WE MUST DO IT IMMEDIATELY.
I'LL CHANGE AT ONCE.
OKAY, TRY IT.
PERFECT.
[ DOOR OPENS ]
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER SEANCE.
OH, REALLY? WONDERFUL.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
IT ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN THERE'S A STORM.
WELL, LET'S WAIT, THEN.
NO, NO. THERE ISN'T TIME.
SIT DOWN.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
PLEASE SIT DOWN.
DUDOIR, THESE ARE MOMENTS OF ANXIETY.
MARTHA ZUBROVNIK FEELS,
AND SOME OTHERS OF US FEEL,
THAT THE SPIRIT OF HER HUSBAND IS NEAR,
URGENTLY DEMANDING AUDIENCE.
DUDOIR...
IS...KURT...DISTURBED?
IS...HE...NEAR YOU?
Dudoir: YES.
HE IS NEAR ME.
HE IS IMPATIENT.
THERE ARE STILL STRANGERS WITH YOU.
THEY ANNOY HIM.
HIS WIFE MUST FINISH HER WORK.
WHEN SHE ARRIVES,
KURT WILL COME TO HER HIMSELF.
HE IS PROUD OF HER
AND OF HER WORK,
BUT HE DOES NOT WANT TO SPEAK TO HER AGAIN
UNTIL SHE HAS ARRIVED
AT HER DESTINATION.
Man: MARTHA!
MARTHA!
I...
I WILL SPEAK TO YOU.
MARTHA!
MARTHA...IT IS I.
IT IS KURT.
IT IS I...
WHAT IS THIS INTERFERENCE?
BREAKING THE LAWS OF INFINITY
TO COME TO YOU.
MARTHA, THIS IS TRICKERY.
NO.
NO, I'M SURE IT'S KURT'S VOICE.
I KNOW IT.
Kurt: MARTHA...MARTHA.
I AM WITH YOU.
I DO LOVE YOU.
HOW CAN THIS BE KURT'S VOICE
COMING FROM THIS WOMAN?
SHE DOES NOT HAVE A CONTROL.
Kurt: DO NOT BE AFRAID.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE ANGRY WITH ME.
I AM NOT ANGRY WITH YOU.
IT IS ANOTHER MAN WHO WAS ANGRY.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
MARTHA, WHAT YOU ARE HEARING IS FAKERY.
[ COUGHING ]
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
WHAT MAN IS ANGRY?
Kurt: IT IS A SIMPLE MAN WHO WAS MURDERED.
[ COUGHING ]
HE WAS A BEEKEEPER.
IT WAS HE, THE BEEKEEPER, WHO WAS ANGRY.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT. THE DAMPER IS OPEN.
[ COUGHING ]
MR. POLYAK?
WHAT'S HAPPENING?
[ THUNDER CRASHING ]
[ COUGHING ]
[ THUNDER CRASHING ]
[ COUGHING ]
[ COUGHING CONTINUES ]
[ SIGHS ]
[ BUZZING ]
[ THUNDER RUMBLING ]
OHH!
AHH!
Polyak: OHH!
MR. POLYAK?
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE BOLT?
I CAN'T BUDGE IT. IT'S STUCK.
AHH!
IS THAT BEES?
MR. POLYAK?
[ BUZZING ]
[ THUNDER CRASHING ]
THANK YOU.
YES.
WE WISH YOU WOULD CHANGE YOUR MIND.
I DON'T THINK I WILL.
I WANT TO STAY HERE, WHERE KURT IS.
AND I'LL WORK WELL, NOW THAT I KNOW THE TRUTH.
WE NEED YOU, AND WE'LL MISS YOU.
THANK YOU, MR. HAND.
I'LL START SENDING THE REPORTS AGAIN.
GOOD.
GOODBYE. GOODBYE, MR. COLLIER.
GOODBYE.
GOODBYE, AND THANK YOU.
GOODBYE.
THANK YOU.
ARIANA...HOW DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT BEEKEEPER?
I SAW BEES. IT WAS A HUNCH.
ARIANA, I'LL NEVER DOUBT YOU AGAIN...
OUT LOUD.
AND YOU, ROLLIN?
WELL, I DON'T KNOW.
YOU DON'T KNOW.
[ SIGHS ]
THEN I GAVE MY GREATEST PERFORMANCE.
[ BUZZING ]
