01:04 - Little fool.
01:12 Told him not to touch that rifle again.
01:16 - Mm, pretty.
01:17 Pretty little bird so far from home.
01:21 But then we didn't ask her to come snooping,
01:25 did we, Victor?
01:26 (rain pattering)
01:28 - Hospitality.
01:36 Good old Southern hospitality.
01:40 That's what I like about the South.
01:44 This is a room in Parasite Mansion,
01:48 the name of our story tonight,
01:50 and home of the Harrods,
01:52 a family plagued for generations with a horrible curse.
01:56 Parasite Mansion is a terrible place to visit,
02:01 but obviously an excellent place in which to die.
02:07 Featured in our story tonight are
02:10 Jeanette Noland,
02:11 James Griffith,
02:14 Beverly Washburn,
02:22 Tommy Nolan,
02:23 and Pippo Scott.
02:26 One of these poor unfortunates is doomed to die
02:30 before your eyes.
02:31 Oh, oh, don't try to guess.
02:34 You might be right, and that would spoil all the fun.
02:38 (dramatic music)
02:41 (dramatic music)
02:44 (thunder rumbling)
03:03 (thunder rumbling)
03:06 Oh, she stirs your manhood, eh, Victor?
03:29 That's why you didn't get rid of her out in the swamp.
03:33 Hand me that scalpel.
03:35 Oh, time enough after you've had a bit more practice
03:39 with your shiny little playthings, eh, my dandy?
03:43 (thunder rumbling)
03:48 She's got a tube.
03:50 Easy.
03:52 Rennie?
03:53 Rennie!
03:54 (thunder rumbling)
03:55 I'll need his help with this.
03:57 Rennie!
03:58 (thunder rumbling)
04:00 That young scum, he's hiding,
04:03 he's waiting to pounce on his pretty little bird again.
04:06 You're gonna go too far with that boy one day,
04:09 and you'll have me to deal with.
04:11 (Rennie chuckling)
04:14 (gentle music)
04:17, (Rennie gasping)
04:22 (gentle music)
04:25 (Rennie gasping)
04:39 (gentle music)
04:43 (rain pattering)
04:46 (indistinct chattering)
04:58 She's pretty, that's why you didn't get rid of her last time
05:02 because you're loads of one sick of hiding out here.
05:05 But what happens when you're done with her?
05:08 You can't send her back.
05:11 (Rennie gasping)
05:13 (door thudding)
05:17 (Rennie chuckling)
05:18 (door thudding)
05:19 Well, you're feeling better, honey?
05:22 Yes.
05:24 Oh, not like the dandies you're used to.
05:33 Well, he's not much to look at, but he's a harrid,
05:37 Victor Harrid.
05:39 You can call me Granny.
05:41 How do you do?
05:44 My name is-
05:46 Oh, we know who you are, sweetheart.
05:49 Victor went through your things last night
05:52 while I was hidden in the bed.
05:53 Marcia Elizabeth Hunter, age 26,
05:58 teacher at Hounslow College,
06:00 school for selected young ladies of quality only.
06:05 (Marcia chuckling)
06:09 Oh, don't be afraid.
06:10 He wants to tend your hurt.
06:12 (Marcia gasping)
06:16 They might as well get used to the smell
06:21 of corn liquor, honey.
06:23 The Harrid men folk are swillberries, all of 'em.
06:26 Who can blame 'em with the things they have to live with?
06:30 Be quiet.
06:31 Well, I suppose you're wondering who shot at you and why.
06:37 That was Rennie.
06:39 You'll meet him, maybe.
06:43 It was a mistake, an accident.
06:46 He's a sick boy.
06:47 His younger brother, another Harrid.
06:50 It wasn't his fault.
06:52 You're off the highway detour,
06:54 trespassing on private property.
06:56 There was no private property sound on your road?
07:00 It's there.
07:00 Well, I didn't see it.
07:03 Well, that's your mistake.
07:05 You don't agree, huh?
07:07 All right.
07:08 Harrid family owes you an apology.
07:10 If you got any sense, you'll let it go at that.
07:12 Then I can leave?
07:15 (Marcia laughing)
07:16 No, no, you can't leave.
07:18 Not yet, anyway.
07:20 I'd have to fix your car.
07:22 It may take a day or two.
07:24 But I can't possibly stay here that long.
07:28 Why, I was expected to be here.
07:31 Why, I was expected home last night.
07:35 New Orleans?
07:39 Yes.
07:41 That's a lie.
07:42 Your home is in Shreveport,
07:45 and your family thinks you're on a holiday with a girlfriend,
07:49 and you're meeting a man in New Orleans.
07:53 (Marcia laughing)
07:54 You shouldn't keep incriminating letters in your purse.
07:57 Arthur and I are gonna be married.
08:01 He'll have a long wait.
08:02 No, he won't, because I'm gonna phone for another car.
08:05 (chuckles)
08:06 We got no phone here.
08:08 The nearest neighbor is 10 miles across a swamp.
08:12 I can't stay here!
08:13 You got no choice!
08:14 (Marcia groans)
08:15 Besides, you're in no condition to go anywhere.
08:21 I had to take five stitches in your head last night.
08:24 You had to what?
08:28 I could have let you bleed to death.
08:30 (Marcia gasps)
08:31 You're a doctor.
08:35 (Marcia laughing)
08:37 Did you hear that?
08:38 Are you a doctor?
08:40 No, he's not a doctor.
08:43 He's not fit to tend a sick hog,
08:45 with his drinking and his hiding out here like he's a murderer,
08:49 all because of the black beard.
08:51 I told you to be quiet!
08:52 Excuse me, doctor.
08:55 No, I'm not a doctor.
08:59 I learned to do her own doctoring out here.
09:02 Wait!
09:03 I demand to know why you're holding me.
09:07 Oh, listen to that little baggage, Victor.
09:10 She's got spunk!
09:12 I just can't stay here!
09:14 You anxious to die, darling?
09:17 Mm.
09:19 Well, couldn't one of you go for help?
09:22 Oh, sure!
09:24 Victor can go for help, can't you, Victor?
09:27 (Victor laughing)
09:29 (laughing)
09:32 There's your answer in his face,
09:35 the dark fear.
09:37 Go for help.
09:39 No harrid will ever bring a stranger into this house.
09:43 Now, you stay in this room.
09:45 Don't go prowling.
09:47 Don't go asking questions about anything you see or hear.
09:50 Now, you understand?

11:40 - Rennie, give me that.
11:55 - No, I'll kill her, I'll kill everybody who comes here.
11:57 She's one of those folks who took mine.
11:59 They set her.
12:00 - Ow, Rennie, come back here.
12:06 Come back here.
12:08 Ma'am, ma'am, can you hear me?
12:15 - Don't leave your room, don't go prowling, you told her.
12:17 Now I guess you know she can't be trusted.
12:19 - Well, she's trying to escape out of this madhouse.
12:21 Can you blame her?
12:22 - You're a fool.
12:24 She won't keep her mouth shut, and you know it.
12:26 She can't leave here alive.
12:28 (eerie music)

12:35 (eerie music)
12:37 (eerie music)
12:40 (eerie music)
12:45 (coughing)
12:50 - That was a fool stunt.
12:55 Now no more nonsense, you hear me?
13:03 - The old lady will be up in a minute with some hot soup.
13:06 Drink it, take this.
13:08 It won't kill your gesedity.
13:11 - You got a concussion, and you wanna die?
13:14 - Was that what you planned for me?
13:22 Why didn't you admit it?
13:25 You have no intention of letting me leave here alive.
13:28 - I haven't decided how you're gonna leave yet.
13:30 Maybe I won't have to.
13:32 Maybe Renny will take care of you first.
13:34 So?
13:35 We'll just lock you in.
13:39 - Mr. Hart.
13:40 Why are you holding me here?
13:44 What is it you're afraid of?
13:46 - Now lie back and be quiet.
13:50 - Now please, please hear me out.
13:52 You said before that,
13:54 that Renny was mentally disturbed.
13:59 - I said he was sick.
14:01 - All right, sick then.
14:03 I want you to know I understand.
14:07 - You think you understand, do you?
14:11 - Yes, sir.
14:12 I'm a teacher, you know.
14:15 I studied abnormal psychology in college.
14:18 I don't really believe the boy wants to hurt me,
14:22 except in self-defense.
14:24 From what he said out there on the veranda,
14:26 I can guess what's disturbing him.
14:28 - You don't say.
14:29 - Yes.
14:30 Apparently, his mother was taken away,
14:34 committed to an institution.
14:36 - We know what the word is in this house.
14:41 - Yes, well it's only natural
14:43 that a young, impressionable boy would...
14:45 Well, it must have been a traumatic experience for him.
14:49 - That's what you think.
14:51 - Well, he's afraid that he'll be taken away,
14:54 just like his mother.
14:56 Oh, Mr. Howard, I understand.
14:58 I sympathize with the boy, I do, really.
15:01 Please let me go.
15:02 I won't breathe a word of what's happened, I promise.
15:05 - I don't need your promise.
15:06 And I warn you, don't go practicing
15:08 any of your schoolgirl psychology around here.
15:11 'Cause I can show you things that'd shake your sanity.
15:15 Things you see in nightmares.
15:17 - Show her, Victor.
15:19 Why don't you show her?
15:22 Hmph, it ain't fair to tease a poor little thing
15:26 so she's purely trembling with curiosity, ain't you, darling?
15:31 Why don't you show her, Victor?
15:35 Or you're feared she won't see it
15:38 and she'll think you're crazed.
15:40 Eh, Victor?
15:42 - Shut up.
15:43 - Huh.
15:44 - And lock her in when you leave.
15:47 - Uh, Victor, find yourself another jug of corn liquor
15:52 and get soddy drunk as usual.
15:55 (laughing)
15:57 Would I be the one to tell a stranger
16:03 the Harrod family secrets now?
16:06 Would I?
16:08 - You hate him, don't you?
16:15 - Hate?
16:17 You don't hate a grown man what's hiding in a bottle.
16:21 You tolerate him.
16:24 Like lice and crawling things.
16:27 Victor, little Renny has more sand in his craw.
16:32 - But Victor's your grandson.
16:35 - Victor's no grandson of mine.
16:38 Those spineless Harrods, they're fools, all of 'em.
16:42 Aubrey Harrod was the man I married.
16:46 Their great uncle.
16:49 The biggest fool of the pack.
16:51 And oh, his women folk, they fumed and yelped their heads off.
16:58 But I had him curled 'round my little finger
17:04 and he married me right off the streets of Mobile.
17:10 Why are you asking these questions?
17:13 It's no affair of yours.
17:17 Look, there's $50 in the glove compartment of my car.
17:21 Help me to get away before he comes back.
17:23 And you can have it.
17:24 - Have it?
17:25 I already had it.
17:29 Little Renny fetched it for me
17:30 while Victor was fussing over your hurts.
17:33 Oh, he's a nice little lad, little Renny.
17:36 Don't you tell Victor or I'll set the lad onto you
17:41 and this time he'll do you for sure.
17:43 - Help me and you can have that.
17:45 And I promise not to tell the authorities about Renny.
17:49 About Renny?
17:52 What about Renny?
17:55 Well, isn't that what you're all afraid of?
17:59 That they'll come and take Renny away, like his mother?
18:03 Is that what you're thinking?
18:08 That the secret of this house is a harmless little lad?
18:15 Little Renny?
18:16 Renny!
18:18 Renny!
18:22 You empty-headed baggage.
18:27 You can't begin to imagine the things this house is hiding.

21:58 (ominous music)
22:02 - Hello.
22:03 Don't be afraid.
22:06 I won't hurt you.
22:07 My name's Marsha.
22:13 What's yours?
22:14 You must be Renny's sister.
22:21 And Victor's.
22:22 I told you my name.
22:29 Won't you tell me yours?
22:31 - Lolly.
22:36 - Lolly?
22:37 Lolly.
22:39 Oh, that's a pretty name.
22:41 Come here, Lolly.
22:46 - No.
22:47 You come here to take me away and lock me up.
22:50 Renny told me.
22:52 - Oh.
22:57 So it's you Renny's trying to protect.
23:00 - Renny said he wouldn't let you.
23:03 He said if I was very quiet,
23:07 he could find me.
23:09 - But I'm not here to take you away.
23:15 - Then why are you here?
23:21 Nobody ever comes here.
23:24 - Why not, Lolly?
23:25 (sobbing)
23:28 - Lolly, why doesn't anyone come here?
23:30 - 'Cause, 'cause Victor don't want him to know.
23:35 - About you?
23:37 - No.
23:40 - But you said that Renny was afraid
23:43 I'd come and take you away.
23:45 Oh.
23:50 Then there's something else you're all afraid of.
23:54 - What is it, dear?
23:56 You can tell me.
23:57 I want to be your friend.
24:00 Cross my heart.
24:05 - Really?
24:07 - Really and truly.
24:09 - And you didn't come here to take me away?
24:14 - No, of course not, dear.
24:18 (sniffling)
24:20 You're just like a princess in a fairy story.
24:33 Beautiful and kind.
24:36 I could tell.
24:37 I could tell by your eyes
24:40 and the way you talk
24:42 and by your pretty jewels.
24:46 Red and blue and green and yellow,
24:49 just like a rainbow.
24:51 - Well, then here, dear.
24:53 Take it.
24:55 It's yours.
24:57 - For me?
24:59 - For you.
25:01 - To keep?
25:03 - To keep.
25:05 (upbeat music)
25:11 (screaming)
25:13 - Sally, what happened?
25:21 (laughing)
25:23 - Scared out of a year's growth, are you?
25:27 They all are.
25:28 Them that's ever seen it.
25:31 Oh, fancy.
25:34 (crying)
25:37 Oh, fancy.
25:39 (crying)
25:41 Oh, that's too fancy for a child.
25:45 Half crazed, wasn't it, that?
25:48 Well, Mr. Busybody, you had to poke in pride
25:52 till you found out the secret, didn't you?
25:54 Well, Luigi, you don't understand what you saw,
25:58 but you did see it.
26:00 (crying)
26:02 And when Victor hears,
26:05 watch out.
26:08 (crying)
26:10 (upbeat music)
26:15 (ominous music)
26:30 (ominous music)
26:33 - Oh, please, I didn't mean to pry.
26:43 I was only trying to find a way to get out of this house.
26:48 I've got to get out of here.
26:50 No, no, wait, please.
26:57 Have you a last request, Marsha Elizabeth Hunter?
27:00 - Why does Victor have to know I was up there?
27:02 - Because he's a herald and he's the head of this house.
27:05 - Yes, but you run it.
27:06 You're the only one who's not half mad with fear.
27:09 You're the real head of this family.
27:12 - Think what you like.
27:13 - No, no, wait, please, help me get up
27:15 and I'll give you this.
27:16 It's my engagement ring.
27:18 - Take it, take it off.
27:20 - No, no, not till I'm safely out of here.
27:22 - I'll have it anyway when Victor finishes with you.
27:26 - Unless he keeps it for himself.
27:28 Oh, it's a perfect stone, isn't it lovely?
27:31 All you have to do is get me safely out to the highway.
27:34 - You promise you won't say nothing about what you saw upstairs?
27:38 - Well, I'm not sure what I did see,
27:40 so how could I tell anyone besides who believe me?
27:43 - Granny.
27:44 - Victor, will you help me, please?
27:47 - Granny.
27:48 - He'll be drunk.
27:49 Maybe he won't notice that you discovered the staircase.
27:53 Get in the bed.
27:54 - Granny!
27:56 Granny!
27:57 - Gun cabinet's been jimmied again, rifle's missing.
28:02 - Oh, that Renny, he's a willful little scum.
28:05 - Well, then find him.
28:06 I want that gun back, no more nonsense, you hear me?
28:09 - I hear you, darling.
28:10 - Hmm.
28:11 What's wrong with the light?
28:14 Turn it up.
28:15 - No, please, please, it hurts my eyes, do you mind?
28:18 - No, I don't mind.
28:19 I'll be getting rid of you tomorrow.
28:21 - You mean you're letting her go?
28:22 - I'll have a conference, what's to keep her?
28:24 - Everything.
28:25 - What's the matter with you?
28:27 - You fool, you think you can trust her?
28:30 - Granny, oh, please.
28:33 - Look.
28:34 I caught her upstairs with Lolly asking her questions,
28:42 and Victor, she saw it happened
28:47 while she was bribing the child with a pretty,
28:50 yes, right there, with this.
28:53 And then she tried to bribe me to keep it from you
28:57 with that diamond she's wearing.
28:59 Oh, she's clever, she is, Victor,
29:02 and treacherous like the swamp.
29:05 But old Granny knows,
29:08 and Granny will have that diamond, Victor.
29:12 - Get out.
29:13 Get out!
29:14 - No!
29:15 - Now, what did you see?
29:20 And how much do you know?
29:22 - You little fool, I knew if I brought you here--
29:26 - Now you can never leave.
29:28 - But if I give you my promise--
29:29 - Your promise of silence isn't enough.
29:31 You'd break it.
29:32 - I can't take that chance, Eli.
29:36 She lives in terror that she'd be taken away from us.
29:40 - What are you staring at?
29:46 - You think I'm some kind of a fiend
29:47 that I keep you here for my own purposes?
29:50 - I was actually gonna guard you
29:52 until the old lady found Renny and the rifle.
29:55 - Thanks to your meddling,
29:57 it won't make no difference now if he gets to you.
30:01 (dramatic music)
30:28 - Well, look what the cat dragged in.
30:31 A pair of fancy mice.
30:33 All done up in the sun to best.
30:36 (laughing)
30:37 - I thought I told you to go find Renny.
30:39 - Old Renny'll show up when his belly's empty.
30:42 Meanwhile, if you and your fine lady are ready,
30:46 your supper is served in the kitchen.
30:48 - We'll eat in the dining room tonight,
30:49 and when you're set up, go fetch Miss Hunter down.
30:52 - Oh, so that's it.
30:54 Fine airs and manners for your guest.
30:57 You don't care what she sees, do you, Victor?
31:01 - She's already seen enough,
31:02 and there's no sense of hiding the rest of it from her.
31:05 Go help your granny, Lovett.
31:07 - You fool!
31:08 Go on!
31:10 Well, look!
31:11 (footsteps approaching)
31:14 (liquid pouring)
31:18 (knocking)
31:20 - Mr. Harrod.
31:42 - You got more grit than I thought.
31:45 Maybe less sense.
31:47 Renny could have been waiting for you
31:48 right outside your door.
31:50 - I know.
31:51 When you left, I was too terrified to do anything but cringe.
31:55 And then I got angry.
31:56 I decided that a quick bullet was preferable to the waiting.
32:00 (chuckles)
32:01 Mr. Harrod, I want to talk to you about your sister.
32:05 I've had a chance to think about what happened
32:09 when I tried to give her my pin.
32:12 I've read about such things in college.
32:14 She's affected with...
32:16 Stigmata.
32:19 - And what do your college books tell you
32:21 about stigmata, Miss Hunter?
32:23 - Well, I remember one case, a fugitive murderer.
32:26 He became so obsessed with the idea
32:28 that he was gonna die by the gallows
32:30 that rope welts actually appeared around his neck.
32:33 Medical records tell of dozens of other cases.
32:36 - Is that a fact?
32:37 - Yes, it occurs mostly in fanatics.
32:39 Extreme hysteria causes the skin to react
32:42 to imaginary blows.
32:44 A cut and welts appear as if the victim
32:46 had actually been struck.
32:48 And sometimes the victim's wounds bleed,
32:52 like your sister Loni.
32:54 (chuckles)
32:56 Mr. Harrod, I want to leave here.
32:58 But I know that's impossible
32:59 until the so-called secret of this house
33:02 is no longer a threat to any of you.
33:04 - You want to play detective, is that it?
33:06 - Your sister isn't insane.
33:08 She's just badly frightened like the rest of you.
33:11 (silence)
33:14 Now what is it you're afraid of?
33:16 - You've got eyes.
33:17 You saw what happened to that bottle
33:19 you tried to get the lolly.
33:20 - Well, the pin flew out of my hand
33:22 and hit the wall, or at least it seemed to.
33:24 But I know that was some kind of involuntary action
33:27 on my part.
33:28 - On your part?
33:29 - Yes, I threw that pin.
33:31 The child must have had some strange kind of
33:35 hypnotic influence over me.
33:37 There couldn't be any other explanation.
33:40 (silence)
33:42 - Mm-hmm.
33:43 (silence)
33:45 All right.
33:46 (silence)
33:48 You want to know what we're afraid of?
33:50 I'll tell you.
33:52 (silence)
33:57 We're afraid of it.
33:59 The thing that snatched your pin and threw it.
34:02 The thing that scratched lolly.
34:05 (silence)
34:07 Look.
34:08 (silence)
34:09 Books.
34:10 Thousands of pages on stigmata.
34:13 Case after case.
34:14 All explained with need, scientific logic.
34:17 Not one word, not one clue to explain it.
34:21 (silence)
34:23 The thing that's cursed our family for three generations.
34:27 Here, read.
34:29 Read 'em.
34:31 And when you're through, I'll tell you two more cases
34:33 the doctors thought were stigmata.
34:36 - In your family?
34:38 - Yes.
34:40 My own mother.
34:42 My great aunt Elizabeth.
34:45 And that's the hideous part.
34:47 The thing's been with us so long.
34:50 We've never been able to destroy it.
34:53 - There is no thing.
34:56 That's a lot of superstitious nonsense.
34:58 - You know what a poltergeist is?
35:01 - It's supposed to be some kind of evil, prankish spirit, isn't it?
35:07 - An invisible parasite.
35:09 - The thing that attached itself to my aunt Elizabeth when she was 20.
35:13 And when she died, to my mother.
35:16 And...
35:18 Lolly.
35:20 Lolly, it's all right.
35:23 I told you, ladies haven't supper with us.
35:26 She doesn't mean you any harm.
35:27 - Huh.
35:30 - Been frightening the child again.
35:32 - Somebody ought to put her on our guard against this baggage.
35:37 - Get the supper on.
35:43 - Come to the table, Tom.
35:46 - Mr. Harrod, before we go in, there's something I have to know.
36:06 Do you really believe that nonsense about Lolly being haunted by a demon?
36:10 An invisible parasite?
36:12 - For three generations, we Harrods have had the choice of either believing that we were haunted or insane.
36:19 Now, which would you choose?
36:21 ♪
36:46 - Ready?
36:49 - Now, you get to the table.
36:50 - You leave the boy be.
36:51 - You heard me.
36:52 - He don't have to sit for the likes of her.
36:54 - You afraid she'll contaminate us, Harrods?
36:57 - She's already making a fool of you, Victor.
37:00 - Ready.
37:01 - Look at your big brother, acting like he's a man in front of this fancy petticoat.
37:07 - Ah, look at him.
37:09 - Now, get.
37:12 - I won't forget this, Victor Harrod.
37:16 - Sorry, Granny forgets sometimes.
37:43 - Our manners troubling you, dearie?
37:46 - Hmm, that's a pity.
37:49 - Vick?
38:16 - Can I have that?
38:37 - But surely you don't actually set a place at the table for the...
38:40 - Oh!
38:45 - Oh, he's mad again.
38:58 - You riled him up, Lolly.
39:00 - He wanted all of that pay up.
39:03 - Oh, he's a mean one, that little poltergeist of yours.
39:06 - Oh!
39:32 - Now, do you believe in our demon?
39:39 - You're lucky.
39:41 - No stranger ever saw him before.
39:44 - Before, never any of them fool doctors that was trying to help Elizabeth and the child's mother.
39:51 - Oh, our little demon always waited till they were safe at home.
39:57 - Hey, Victor?
39:59 - Be quiet.
40:01 - Look at him.
40:03 - As many times as he's seen it happen, it still makes his blood run cold.
40:10 - But not yours.
40:12 - What was I?
40:13 - I said, you don't seem to be afraid.
40:16 - Why should I be?
40:18 - I'm no Harrod!
40:30 - Was your Aunt Elizabeth the first to be haunted by this thing?
40:35 - Yes.
40:37 - Your granny married Uncle Aubrey.
40:39 - At least that's how the family legend goes.
40:43 - Three generations entombed in this house.
40:46 - Rotten with fear.
40:49 - And that's our fate as long as there's a young girl with hair and blood in her veins.
40:55 - Not if we destroy the thing.
41:00 - There must be a logical explanation.
41:05 - I intend to find it.
41:07 - You intend to find it?
41:08 - I'm serious. Whatever this thing is, I'm going to discover its secret.
41:12 - Unless it destroys you first.
41:15 - Perhaps.
41:17 - But your pet demon is in danger, Mr. Harrod.
41:21 - And I think he knows it.
41:26 - The End -

41:41 - To be continued -

41:53 - To be continued -

42:14 - To be continued -
42:21 - To be continued -
42:27 - You're firing up your courage, Victor.
42:32 - You ought to be getting rid of that car out in the swamp while there's a storm to cover your tracks up.
42:37 - You go to bed.
42:38 - You fool.
42:40 - She'll be missed.
42:42 - They'll come searching for her.
42:46 - Victor, every minute she's alive, we're in danger.
42:50 - Lolly's in danger.
42:52 - Now, go on up and do what you have to do.
42:56 - Now.
42:58 - Then put her in a car and sink it.
43:00 - Shut up!
43:04 - You want them to come and take Lolly away?
43:09 - Like they took your own mother away?
43:12 - You want to lose Lolly like that?
43:14 - Get out of here.
43:15 - Get out!
43:17 - Oh, you're a heron, all right.
43:20 - All bluster.
43:22 - No belly.
43:24 - Yeah.

44:28 - I can't. I can't.
44:30 - You want her to tell everybody about Lolly?
44:32 - Pick it up. Get on with it!
44:35 - No, you made me come here, but you can't make me do that.
44:38 - Oh, you're turning on me, are you?
44:40 - I'll fix you!
44:43 - You and your sister!
44:45 - Run!
44:47 - Oh, my God!
44:49 - Victor!
44:51 - Victor!
44:53 - Victor!
44:56 - Victor!
44:59 - Oh!
45:01 - You think you've cornered our little demon, do you?
45:05 - Well, let's see!

45:17 - You don't believe your eyes, do you?
45:20 Look good!
45:22 [ Squeaking ]
45:25 - Well, look!
45:34 This is the real secret of this house.
45:39 My power to do this.
45:44 - Victor!
45:47 - Penny! - Victor!
45:49 - Penny! - Tony!
45:51 - I drove them out of their minds,
45:53 and I'm going to kill the rest of them, like this!
45:57 - Tony!
45:59 - I--
46:01 - Victor!
46:03 - Penny!
46:06 - Penny!
46:08 [ Screaming ]
46:11 [ Screaming ]
46:14 - Ah!
46:16 [ Screaming ]
46:19 - [ Sighs ]
46:32 - There's your demon, Mr. Hatt.
46:40 - It wasn't invisible at all.
46:43 It was Granny.
46:45 There-- There was no poltergeist.
46:48 There was never any evil spirit.
46:51 It was Granny all the time.
46:54 Why, she knew the secret of levitation.
46:58 She could cause things to rise and fly through the air without touching them.
47:02 - Well, if you were willing to believe in demons,
47:05 why not this, Mr. Harrod?
47:08 - I saw it happen with my own eyes.
47:11 She knew the secret of levitation,
47:14 and she was using it...
47:16 to destroy you and your family.
47:19 - Uh, it's not possible.
47:23 - Well, think. Think back.
47:26 Did your demon ever act up when Granny wasn't present?
47:30 Then there's your proof.
47:36 And the Harrods can start living again...
47:39 without fear.
47:42 'Cause your evil demon is gone, Mr. Harrod.
47:46 It's gone forever.
