The Legend of Hell House Page #4

That I'm responsible?

You're the one

who should leave this house.

You're the one who's being used, not me.

Do we have to stay?

Are you serious?

You know this is important.

- What if you're hurt?

- I won't be.

- How do you know?

- I'll see to it!

Surely you noticed how it ended

with a word from her.

How I was the only one attacked.

I was the one who angered her.

You think she was responsible

for all that?

Not unassisted.

There's a lot of power in this house.

But she was the one who used it.

Directed it at me.

I made a mistake.

You can't accept quiet,

polite behaviour at face value.

Not with a medium.

You never know what's underneath.

May I speak to you?

I'll only be a moment.

- Are you badly hurt?

- I'll manage.

I know what happened.

It was Belasco's son.

Don't you see

he's trying to separate us?

We're less of a challenge that way.

- I'll sit for you in the morning.

- There'll be no more sittings.

You can't stop them now.

I'm doing so.

You don't think I did that?

I not only think it, I know it!

Now, please, I'm in pain.

I am not responsible.

It was Belasco's son.

Miss Tanner!

There is no such person.

You're wrong.

Lionel?

Lionel.

Lionel!

- Where are you going now?

- To look for something.

Proof that Belasco's son existed?

I'm sorry if I insulted you before.

Mrs. Barrett.

Mrs. Barrett!

You...

...me...

...that girl...

...Lionel...

...all together.

Naked.

Drunk.

Clutching.

Sweating.

Biting!

You were walking in your sleep.

Mrs. Barrett!

Daniel, I've found you.

What is it? What happened?

Daniel Belasco, I found him.

I'm not imagining it.

He attacked me.

Did I imagine this?

He's in there, behind the wall.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

Lord, we beseech thee mercifully...

...to receive the prayers of thy

people which call upon thee...

Florence.

Florence.

- Is that you?

- Help me, Florence. Help me.

Why? You should have gone on.

- You were my only hope.

- Your body was buried.

I prayed for you.

No.

You have to go.

You've been given your release.

You were my only hope.

You must go on.

What is it you want?

- Make love to me.

- I can't.

No, I can't.

No!

What in the name of God...?

Florence.

Please.

Doctor...

...Miss Tanner's been hurt again.

- Where is she?

- In her room.

- She's been bitten and scratched.

- How did it happen?

- I don't know. A cat, I think.

- A cat?

It was possessed by Daniel Belasco.

Shall I examine you?

Use this. It'll prevent infection.

I'm all right.

- I know you think...

- It doesn't matter what I think.

- What matters is you're being mauled.

- I said I'm all right.

I wonder if that is so.

Wouldn't it be best if you left?

I'm not leaving now!
