Altar Page #4

I'll lose my business.

What kind of publicity?

There've always been rumors

that Radcliffe built the place

as some sort of temple, but

it was so long ago that

thankfully it's all

they are... rumors.

Now I'm not so sure.

But it's just a work of art.

No, it's the

work of the devil.

- Now, that is ridiculous!

- Is it?!

He killed his wife in some

sort of ritual, and to get her

revenge, she haunted him

day and night until he

threw himself from a window.

If I were you, I'd persuade

your American banker to tear

it all down and

start from scratch.

You've been in there all day?

How was the beach?

Alec, you missed

the phone engineer!

I'm sorry, babe.

Can you stop walking away from me?

I'm trying to talk to you!

Alec, this is important!

Listen.

Donnelly's just quit. I've

got to find someone else.

If we're gonna

make the deadline,

I really need you to pitch in!

- Would you sit for me?

- Alec, this is serious!

Just a couple sessions.

I can't do this on my own!

I'm right in the

thick of it, Meg!

Look, this is

our paycheck, OK?

It's our only paycheck

since your last show.

We don't have any money!

And I understand all that,

but what I'm doing will

change our lives forever.

Alec, I'm really glad for you.

I'm so happy that you've found

something new, but right

now, I just need your help!

OK.

OK?

OK.

Really?

Really?

I'll set aside some

time in the afternoons.

Thank God.

Hello?

Is that you, Petal?

Who is this?

Oh!

Aah! Aah! Aah!

Oh, God! Aah!

Alec!

Oh, you scared me. Ha ha ha!

What are you doing in here?

Well, I... I just... I was

answering the phone.

I guess the engineer must

have connected it after all.

The phone?

You didn't hear the phone?

Listen, I don't think we

should leave this light on.

Did you put this light on?

No, I thought you did.

OK, let's get out of here.

Let's not do this in here.

Can we go upstairs?

Alec, can we go? This room

really gives me the creeps.

I don't... I don't like it here.

No!

Alec, no, please! No!

I don't like it here. Please!

Please, no! Please, no!

Please, Alec!

Alec!

Hi. Thanks for coming back.

Just through there.

Just on the table

at the end there.

Unless that's been

converted to digital,

it's never gonna work.

It was working last night

but dead again this morning.

Well, I can't see

how that's possible.

It's not connected.

In fact, I can't even see a

telephone socket down there.

Madam?

OK, let's go.

Uhh!

Absolutely, Bradley, yep.

Not only are we on schedule

but we're also finding

some amazing stuff.

- Great.

- Yeah, it looks like

many original features

are still intact...

Excellent.

Which is why I imagine
