It's up to you.

But I'd be failing my duty

if I didn't warn you.

I don't want you to be

another victim of Hell House.

He's right, you know.

You should leave.

- Ben!

- You're being torn to pieces.

You think I did this to myself?

No, of course not.

But I don't know who did.

You say it's Daniel, but what if you're

wrong? What if you're being fooled?

Fooled?

But he does exist. We found his body.

We also laid him to rest,

so why is he not at rest?

I think I know.

Controlled multiple haunting,

absolutely unique in haunted houses.

A surviving will so powerful...

...that he can dominate

all other surviving sources.

You mean Emeric Belasco?

He's kept me from the chapel.

He made it seem like

Daniel possessed the cat.

He caused the attack on Dr. Barrett.

He's also keeping Daniel's soul

imprisoned here.

He's like a general with his army.

Never entering the battle

but always controlling it.

Just what have you been doing,

Mr. Fischer?

Have you been drinking?

I don't think that's your business.

Although I do think

it's a very good idea.

- Come on.

- No.

You come on.

Mrs. Barrett?

Yes, Ben?

You should not

leave your husband alone.

Oh, I think he's all right.

He's sleeping.

Mrs. Barrett,

you must go back upstairs.

Did you know

this was where it all happened?

Where all what happened?

All that debauchery...

...and vice.

Right here.

Right around this very table.

- You don't know what you're saying.

- Yes, I do.

I know exactly what I'm saying,

Mr. Fischer.

Mr. B.F. Fischer.

Mrs. Barrett, it's this house.

- It's making you...

- This house isn't doing anything.

I'm doing it.

Touch me.

Touch me

or I'll find somebody who will!

No! No!

I know you won't forgive me now.

I know what I did.

I'd give anything to undo it.

I just don't know why

I went down those stairs.

I knew what I was doing, l...

I knew.

But at the same time...

I'm not asking you to forgive me...

...but please, please don't hate me.

I need you. I love you.

I just don't understand

what's happening to me.

I just don't understand.

It's all right.

It'll pass

after we've left this house.

I love you too.

Doctor, I think your wife

is in grave danger.

- What happened...

- Mr. Fischer.

- It was not her fault.

- Please.

This is a matter of life and death.

Today was not the first occurrence.

Did you know

she walked down here last night?

- When?

- Near midnight.

You were asleep. So was she.

- She walked in her sleep?

- Yes.

You should have told me.

No, doctor, she should have.

The fact that she didn't...

I don't think you know

what is going on in this house.

- What I think is irrelevant.

- Irrelevant?
