Ignore it.

People here in this town

thrive on that stuff.

You should know it by now.

She'll be home in another

couple of minutes.

If you need me for any

reason though,

feel free to call.

I should be at the studio

for at least

another hour or so, okay?

Goodbye mr. Robbins.

Goodbye

no, no...

come on tommy, please.

No please, tommy

what the devil's the matter

honey?

You treat me like I was a

stranger.

What have I done?

Tell me.

How come you picked out

here to park?

This place gives me

the willies.

Oh, rose. Come on.

You're not a little child now.

You don't really believe in

that stupid

salem witch stuff, do you?

Of course not.

Now what's wrong?

Sorry tommy, but...

but I keep thinking that

someone's out there

spying on us.

Come on.

There isn't anyone out there

watch.

I'll turn on the headlights.

You know this dunwich

it's not even on the map.

So, you don't believe me,

do you?

That's not the point.

It's just going to be harder

to find, that's all.

We don't even know

where to start, do we?

You know I get my inner

visions too. You know.

Just let me meditate

over a bottle of scotch

and?

And I'll take you anywhere.

Well, she certainly wasn't

strangled.

Doesn't seem to have been

any kind of physical abuse.

What was the cause of her

death then?

Some kind of cardiac arrest.

Only that expression on her

face looks like pure fear

like something scared

her to death.

Scared her?

- Excuse me, mr. Robbins

do you know if your daughter

had a heart condition?

No...

oh god...

well, what's our procedure?

Sit tight.

Everything depends

on the autopsy.

I'll sit tight

you'll get your order after

that from the d.a.

Okay, but let me hear

from you, joe

what's your opinion, jerry?

What's there to say.

I'm at a total loss.

It was bob...

that pervert?

- You can bet on it

they should have

put him away for life

after what he tried to do

with poor little anne ross

listen, I'll call all three

cars out after that boy

and I wouldn't be surprised

if he could tell us

what happened to rosy

kellman and frank's kid, too

sheriff russell...

sheriff

what the dickens is this?

Good lord...

that kid is gonna fry...

mark my word.

So, your newspaper editor

wouldn't believe you?

Listen.

When adrian deniro told me

about 2 years ago

that I'd meet a girl who

would be buried alive,

I didn't believe him either.

I mean, I laughed right

in his face.

Deniro was aware of

many things.

He knew all about the

city of the dead.

Okay, okay.

Say I believe you.

Did you see...

when you were in this

trance did you see anything

besides that tombstone?

Oh yes.

I saw a priest

who by hanging himself
