Buried Alive (1989) - full transcript

A young woman goes to teach at the Ravenscroft Institute, a spooky old girls' school overrun by ants and staffed by various ex-mental patients. Spurred on by a series of horrific hallucinations, she begins to investigate the mysterious disappearances of several students.

Bye, Tina.

Bye.

Oh, I have this for you.

Thanks.

Take care.

Okay.

Bye.

I'll write when I get there, okay?

- Okay, bye.
- Bye.

He said
it'd be quiet out here.

Too quiet, probably.

I had to get away, though.

Get that old anxiety down.

Isn't that what the
doctor said, start over?

Well, here goes.

Pretty lucky, I guess, falling into this.

It's so amazing, when
I heard Gary's speech

about how we trap ourselves,

he took the words right out of my head.

Must be fate, our meeting like that,

just so irresistible.

Authorities
do not have to be

a person or institution who says,



"You have to do this or you
or not allowed to do that."

This kind of authority, which is external,

may appear as or be replaced
by internal authority

under the name of duty,
conscience, or superego.

Analysis reveals that conscience rules

with a harshness as great
as external authorities.

And, furthermore, that frequently,

the contents of the orders
issued by man's conscience

are governed not by the
demands of the individual self,

but by social demands.

The rulership of conscience
can be even harsher

than that of external authorities,

since the individual feels
its orders to be his own,

and how can he rebel against himself?

What's this?

Sorry, ma'am, didn't mean to scare you.

I'm sorry, where am I?

Sorrento County, ma'am.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I'm looking for Ravenscroft Hall.

Ravenscroft?

I'm gonna be teaching there.

Well, it's about 12 miles back.

You missed the turnoff.

I knew I was close.

All right, thank you.

By the way, you didn't
see anyone last night

or pick anyone up?

A young girl, 16, 17?

No, why?

Ah, it's just a report of a runaway.

Runaway?

Yeah, from Ravenscroft, in fact.

Just in case you see
anyone, here's my number.

Great, Ken, thanks very much. Thank you.

Take care now, ma'am.

I don't know why you girls

always shampoo in the kitchen.

'Cause we love
to get hair in our food.

That bitch Tina.

Why'd she have to leave last night?

Yeah, and I got more work to do.

It's good for you, Sue-Sue.

Piss off.

Why don't you
guys just leave Tina alone?

Jesus, this meat's tough.

Maybe you're just weak.

Oh, yeah, you wanna find out quick?

I'll take you on any time.

Have you when I'm ready, bitch.

Shut the fuck up.

Why don't we all pitch in
and send Yvonne into town?

How 'bout it, Yvonne?

I ain't got no money.

Maybe you're just hanging
with the poor folks around here.

I ain't hanging with nobody.

No shit.

Listen, you dumb bitch,
you take this money,

take these keys, and get back here

with a bucket of chicken in half an hour.

You run your own errands.

Hey, come here!

You know we like things
nice and simple around here.

With you!

Excuse me, excuse me.

I'm looking for Gary... uh, Mr. Julian.

Please.

He'll be with you in a moment.

Thank you.

Okay, let's talk in a few days.

All right.

Miss Pendleton.

Welcome to Ravenscroft, Miss Pendleton.

Thank you.

Please, call me Janet.

I'm sorry to
have kept you waiting.

No problem.

Come, please, call me Gary.

Please.

Take a seat.

Thank you.

Did you have a good trip?

Yes.

Aside from getting a
little lost, it was fine.

I'm glad you found us.

We've had a hectic couple of months here

since we last met.

How have you been?

Wonderful, thank you.

You been okay?

Fine.

Yes.

Oh, yeah, right here.

Tina Darrow.

Five foot five, dark hair.

Yes, we discovered she
was missing this morning.

She must've gone some time in the night.

Right, okay.

Look, something urgent's come up.

Why don't you unpack and settle in?

Here's an agenda.

And I'll see you at lunch and
introduce you to the staff.

I'd like you to come around this afternoon

and see one of our group therapy sessions,

watch some of my methods in action.

That would be wonderful, thank you.

Great.

So, when your father ran Ravenscroft,

it was more of an asylum?

Yes, much more.

He actually locked them up.

God, can you imagine how those
poor souls must have felt?

After he died, I decided to put

some of my theories into practice.

Well, you've
certainly proved it.

Ravenscroft has a
remarkable success record.

Well, we've still
got a long way to go.

I heard you had a
runaway just yesterday.

Where'd you hear about that?

The officer who showed me the way here.

Ken, I think his name was.

Ken. Yes, well,
she couldn't adapt.

I don't wanna run a prison.

No, you cant.

It's exactly what you
said at the conference.

Soon as I heard you, I knew
I wanted to work with you.

Well, I'm glad you followed up on it.

I'm glad, too.

Help me.

Help me.

Help me.

Help me.

Help me.

Help me.

Help me.

Do you need something, my dear?

No, I...

There's something behind the wall.

Behind the...?

Yes, listen!

Where did you hear the noise?

From behind the wall.

Oh, Miss Raeburn is showing a movie

in the gymnasium tonight.

It must have come from there.

Yes, of course.

I didn't mean to disturb you.

You didn't.

Here.

This is my hand.

This is my head.

Nothing to fear.

Nothing to dread.

Ooh, grodie.

Sue-Sue, stop making eyes.

I'd like to talk
about ants this morning.

I thought we
were supposed to learn

about animals.

Well, today we're
gonna learn about ants.

Ants can carry over 100
times their own body weight.

Now, that means that if
you weigh 100 pounds,

then you'd be able to carry 10,000 pounds.

Also, every little ant
runs with such speed

that if we were to run
as fast as an ant runs,

we'd be going as fast as a Porsche would

at full speed on the freeway.

We're gonna cut 'em
open and look in their guts?

No, Yvonne, we're gonna eat them.

- Got any gum?
- Grodie.

We won't do any
dissection until the fall.

They're really gross.

They don't even look dead.

All right, so, for tomorrow,

I want you all to make
a list of five examples

of each area of mammals.

Rodents, felines, carnivores.

What the hell are mammals?

Anything with tits.

Class, quiet down.

Hey!

Please, quiet down.

Thank you.

Actually, Debbie is right.

Mammals are the only animals
that breastfeed their young.

Therefore, any animal
with breasts is a mammal.

Well, Debbie, I guess
that leaves you out.

Fuck you!

Fuck you.

Hey!

Girls, girls, please!

Calm down, girls!

It moved, the frog moved!

That frog moved!

I saw it move!

Yvonne, hey!

I saw it move!

I thought it'd get me!

It was an accident, just relax.

Everybody, quiet down! Quiet!

It was just an accident, okay?

Sure it moved, Yvonne.

Better catch it quick before it hops away.

Yvonne.

Yvonne, stop it!

Yvonne, put that glass down!

It moved!

Fine, it moved.

It was an accident.

It doesn't matter, Yvonne.

Now, put the glass down.

Everybody...

Janet had an interesting first day.

Oh, really?

Yep.

Yvonne.

Oh, Yvonne. Yvonne sees
reality as a warped projection

of her own superego.

Yes, I understand that.

It's just that I didn't
expect that they would be...

Oh, I'm sure they were just testing you.

Well, you handled
the situation very well

from what I hear.

Really, I wouldn't worry about it.

Yvonne is fine right now.

It's probably the most exciting thing

that will happen here all year.

The girls seem
to have it in for Yvonne.

It's really very peaceful here.

What is this, everything okay?

Yvonne.

Oh, no, what?

She's gone.

Yes, just took off in
the middle of the night.

Oh, no.

Why can't they understand
this isn't a prison?

You wanna have coffee sometime?

Yeah, let me talk to you later.

- Call me.
- Gary?

Gary, wait for me!

Listen to me, you mustn't blame yourself.

If I'm not to blame, who is?

These girls are my responsibility.

Oh my God!

No!

Is something wrong?

You startled me.

I'm sorry.

Are you sure you're all right?

- Thanks.
- Debbie.

- Yeah.
- Debbie.

Yvonne.

Oh, she left.

Another for Debbie.

Boze.

Hey, what have we got here?

Special delivery?

Nancy Shiro, transfer from Rankon.

Is that what she is?

Damn, I thought she was our new slave.

Please, Debbie.

Think again, bitch.

Debbie, we don't want
any unpleasantness.

Are you sure there is nothing here?

Not even a letter, a postcard,

- nothing?
- No, there's nothing.

Nothing.

Kenneth? That's your middle name?

No, John Kenneth Pendleton.

It was my father's belt buckle.

I had it made into a pin after he died.

When was that?

When I was 14.

It was sudden, unexpected.

You were close to him?

Very.

I guess I was a little afraid
sometimes, too, though.

Yes, it's hard to
please a strong father,

even after he's gone.

Especially after.

I guess you could
tell I was upset this afternoon.

It's hard to let go.

My father was crippled, yet
still a strong influence.

Maybe I just have too
active an imagination.

When I was little, it
used to rain on our roof.

I was sure it was Indian tom
toms signaling an attack.

Imagination is a gift, Janet.

Don't be afraid of it.

It can make you strong.

But out there today, Gary,

I swear, I felt as if
I was... I don't know...

maybe just a bit of an
anxiety attack or something.

You're strong.

That's one of the reasons
I wanted you to come here.

You see, the girls need to see strength

and stability in us.

Yes, of course, you're right.

You know, together, we
could really help them.

We could make a difference in their lives,

a real difference.

I'm sorry, I think it's
getting a little late.

Okay.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Is everything all right, my dear?

Yes, Dr. Schaeffer,
everything's quite all right.

Thank you.

Goodnight, then.

Goodnight.

] When'd you start smoking?

- I'm frightened.
- Of what?

Maybe ghosts.

Ghosts, what do you mean by that?

You know, ghosts, like dead people.

Amy, has this ghost got a name?

Do you know what they look like?

Did they frighten you?

I heard them.

I'm scared.

Amy is just trying to show us

her most honest, deepest feeling.

Yeah, what is this "honest"?

What is this bullshit?

Ever since I got here, people talk

about how we're supposed to be

free, honest, open and shit.

This is just another
prison, man, only worse.

In jail, they just lock you up.

You're messing with my hand, man.

This is a goddamn nightmare.

This asshole's got a stick in your brains

and you don't even know it.

Well, I ain't taking it, Jack, no way.

Thank you, Shiro, appreciate you telling

us how you feel.

I'll tell you how I feel.

I feel like taking a big
walk, that's how I feel.

All right, now we must
respect everyone's feelings.

This is not an arena here for judgment.

Now, who else hates me today?

He's a real sucker.

All that bullshit about communication!

I oughta rip him off just to pay

for my time having to listen to this shit!

Shut up about Gary!

Why, is he listening?

Just shut up, okay?

You try and rip Gary off for anything

and I'm gonna cut your throat.

Gary understands us.

You don't understand shit!

Hey, Fingers, you should become a member

of the Icicle Club.

What's that?

Oh, just a group
of us so special and cool

we're freezing.

Hey, Debbie!

Debbie, pay attention!

We wanna take Fingers to the Icicle Club.

Yeah, initiate her?

Okay, all in favor?

Yeah!

Initiate?

Yeah, phase one, girls.

Shit.

Oh my God.

Help me!

God, girls!

Oh, God!

Fingers!

I thought only men stood up.

Here, Boze, it's all yours.

Bow wow!

Hey, Fingers, what do
you say we play Explorers?

I don't know, what's Explorers?

Well, there's something
hidden in the basement.

And you have to find it.

Okay.

Phase two!

Hold on, wait for me.

I gotta put my shoes on.

What's going on here?

Nothing, Zero.

Past your bedtime, ain't it?

Okay, this is where it
gets really exciting.

Yep.

You just go through
this door and don't stop.

- Bye!
- Don't come back!

Keep walking!

Let's go, let's go, come on!

Party!

Dr. Schaeffer,
I had another dream.

Janet.

What's wrong?

Dr. Schaeffer,
I don't know, I just...

Janet, I have told you not to worry.

I only wish the girls
could see their fears

and their passions as
concretely as you do.

The things that aren't even there.

Who's to say they aren't there?

There are many different
levels of existence.

It seems so real and so vivid.

The atmosphere everywhere is charged.

Electricity, vibrations,

and you are a very sensitive young woman.

Sensitive.

Is that another euphemism for...

Crazy.

What's wrong with crazy?

What is it Willie says?

Willie Shakespeare.

"Be not afeared, the
isle is full of noises,

sounds and sweet airs that
give delight and hurt not.

Sometimes a thousand jangling instruments

will hum about my ears
and sometimes voices.

We are such stuff as dreams are made of."

Yes, yes, yes,
it's all perfectly normal!

Goodnight.

Sweet dreams.

Yes?

- Hi.
- Hi.

I wanted to give you these evaluations

I've worked up for the agency.

You weren't at group.

How come?

Maybe because my great
ideas don't work so well.

Gary, there's always gonna be one

who isn't going to...
It isn't just one.

With Shiro, it's three.

You seem to think that these girls

are running away from your methods.

If my methods were working,
they wouldn't be running.

Maybe they're running
away from something else.

What do you mean?

A threat of some kind.

Like what?

Debbie.

Debbie?

I saw her threaten Shiro the other day,

physically threaten Shiro.

God, Jan, these are tough girls.

Confrontation is second nature to them.

Gary, these girls are
afraid, genuinely afraid.

Look at little Amy the other day!

Exactly, that's a perfect example.

Amy's ghosts.

The only ghosts she's running from

are those of her two little sisters,

who she tried to Kill.

Gary, I'm sorry, I didn't know.

No, I agree with you.

There is something wrong here.

But I'm the something. Me.

- Gary...
- It's not Debbie,

- it's not ghosts.
- Gary.

It's not Indian tom toms.

Jan, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Why do you think
these other girls ran away?

I don't know, I guess they got spooked.

Anyway, they sure don't
seem to get very far.

What do you mean?

Well, you know Tina?

She ran away before you came,

and she promised me
that she would write me

as soon as she got to New York,

and it's been a whole week

and I have not heard anything from her

and I'm really worried.

Fingers, there
could be lots of reasons

- for that.
- Yes, but Janet,

can I trust you?

Of course you can.

I found something.

What'd you find?

I found this in

the basement the other night

and I gave it to Tina the night she left.

I watched her run across
the grass and leave.

Now, what I don't understand is

how in the world did it get
back down in the basement?

Here, come talk to me for a second.

Be careful, Janet.

Shit!

I'm staying back here.

I gotta go.

Remember, Janet, don't say anything

about this to anyone, or else
I'll be in serious trouble.

With Debbie?

Yeah, and Gary if he finds out

about us being down here
and this whole party thing.

This place is off limits.

If I blow this thing, my ass will be

shaked and baked by everybody.

Don't worry, I promise.

- Here, you keep this.
- I'm gone.

Janet, stop!

Schaeffer?

Dr. Schaeffer!

Dr. Schaeffer?

What do you want?

Tell me what it is!

Dr. Schaeffer, please,
tell me what's wrong.

Tell me, Dr. Schaeffer.

You can help me.

Help me.

I didn't hurt anyone.

Can't you see?

Mad, mad!

Mad, mad!

Don't leave, please!

Nothing to fear.

It's a trick, nothing to fear.

Nothing to dread.

Nothing to fear, nothing to dread.

Nothing to fear, nothing to dread.

Nothing to fear, nothing to dread.

Nothing to fear.

Dr. Schaeffer!

I tried to stop you.

I tried to warn you.

You ran!

No.

You must never, never go down there.

No, Dr. Schaeffer, please!

Dr. Schaeffer, no!

It's dangerous.

Oh, Dr. Schaeffer, no!

It's too dangerous.

It's very dangerous.

I saw the old man.

Old man, what are you talking about?

You were there.

I thought I was imagining
it, but he was there, too,

- Dr. Schaeffer.
- There's nobody there!

Didn't you see him?

Dr. Schaeffer!

There is no man!

There is, he is!

Dr. Schaeffer, no!

No, it was real!

There is no man!

- No, Dr. Schaeffer.
- It's just a dream.

- No.
- It's just a dream state.

They're all rotten, crumbling.

They're very dangerous.

You must never go down into the cellar.

You're upset.

Dr. Schaeffer.

You must rest.

- I saw it.
- You must rest.

- You must go to sleep.
- Dr. Schaeffer.

Please.

Sleep.

Well, I'm not going

to any of her classes anymore.

You know, I'm not the
only one that hates her.

Everybody hates her.

We're gonna boycott the bitch.

Uh-huh, well.

I didn't know your
feelings were that strong.

I'm glad that you trust me
enough to confide in me.

I'll see what I can do.

You may be right, something
should be done about it.

I promise you, Debbie, I'll
take care of everything.

Why aren't you in class?

Janet.

Transferred?

Yes, to another facility.

You were absolutely right.

I just couldn't see it.

She'll be much better off in
a more structured environment.

No!

No?

Oh my God!

Oh!

Janet, what is it?

Who is that?

That's my father.

I saw him.

You saw him?

Yes, I saw him.

It was in a dream.

He spoke to me.

You have a rich inner life.

No.

What's wrong?

It was only a dream.

But Gary, it wasn't a dream.

I wasn't asleep.

Gary, I didn't even know
what your father looked like.

Of course you do.

No.

It's always been hanging there.

No.

Well, of course it has.

You must have noticed it unconsciously.

I didn't see it before.

I've never seen it before!

You're upset.

There are no such things as ghosts.

What you're seeing is some
sort of paranoid delusion.

Do you think I'm crazy?

Of course not, no, no. I'm
sorry, I didn't mean that.

No, it's just anxiety is all.

Janet...

I love you.

You need rest, that's all.

Sue-Sue, Sue-Sue.

Linda!

Linda.

Yvonne!

Let me read it first.

Just cut it, all right?

Hello, baby!

Asshole!

Not so fast, not so fast.

What have you got for me?

Oh.

Hello, Debbie!

Hello, Debbie!

Come on, Tim.

Hello, Debbie.

The question is... what do you have for me?

You got it.

I really love your taste in lingerie.

Tim, stop it!

Be nice.

Yes.

Gary, I just came from
breakfast and Debbie wasn't there.

None of the girls know where she is.

Remember, I told you
she was being transferred.

Already?

Dr. Schaeffer thought it should be done

quickly, without any ruckus.

He had someone pick her
up early this morning.

Oh.

I know it seems abrupt,
but with Debbie's penchant

for causing trouble, I mean,

don't you agree we've had enough?

Gary, I have to speak with you urgently.

Ah, Janet, excuse us, please.

By the way, I won't be able to make

this afternoon's session.

I have a meeting in town.

Tell the girls, will you?

Okay.

Ken, hi.

Hi.

Gary around?

Oh, no, you just missed him.

He's gone into town.

I've gotta talk to him.

What's wrong?

- Is there something wrong?
- Mrs. Ketter, wait a minute.

Mrs. Ketter, hang on.

- Excuse me.
- Miss Ketter, please.

- Excuse me.
- Miss Ketter,

this is Miss Pendleton.

She's a teacher here.

My son, has anyone seen him?

He's been missing since last night.

No runaway note, no nothing.

Oh.

Some of his friends
say sometimes they come

out here to party with the girls.

Oh, well, maybe, but Mrs. Ketter,

I'm sure they haven't
been anywhere near here

in the past few days.

Just want to check with the girls.

Of course.

Let's go, Mrs. Ketter.

Once they get out here,

no telling what happened with
those dirty little girls.

They're crazy.

Like that one, just running around loose!

Dr. Schaeffer?

Oh, he's a doctor now, is he?

Ten years ago, he was just another loony.

What do you mean?

I mean, they used to
have that one locked up.

A patient?

They used to have them all locked up.

People were a lot safer then.

She's just a little upset.

Keep your eyes open, okay?

Let's go, ma'am.

Janet, look!

Oh, good job, Fingers, that's great.

Hey, that's Tim!

You know him?

Yeah, that's Debbie's boyfriend.

Hold on a second, okay?

Ken!

Ken!

Hello.

Gary, was Dr. Schaeffer a patient here?

Was Dr. Schaeffer a patient here?

He tell you that?

Was he?

Was he?

Yes, he was. Years ago.

One of my first big successes.

Brilliant man

and my father didn't know
how to deal with him.

You mean you cured him?

Completely.

Are you sure?

Of course. Why?

I don't know, he acts strange,

and now the Ketter boy
from town is missing.

They think he might've
disappeared out here.

What does Dr. Schaeffer
have to do with that?

Well, what if he did come out here?

Fingers said he was Debbie's boyfriend.

Maybe Debbie knows where he is.

And Ken was looking for you.

Gary, where were you?

Calm down, calm down.

You're racing.

I was in town.

I got something.

Something for you.

For me?

Do you like it?

Yes, of course.

Janet, I want you to marry me.

Gary, I...

Shh.

Please!

God!

Look, I'll do anything.

You're really freaking me out here.

Come on!

You are the one who always said

we were supposed to be free.

Freedom has its limits, Debbie.

I just didn't know what the limits were.

Now you know.

You defied me, tried to
turn girls against Janet.

I was wrong about that.

I can see that now.

I was way out of line and I'm sorry.

All I ever asked is that you respect

what I'm trying to do,

to acknowledge the fact
that I really can help you.

I believe that, I always have.

Hey, you helped me a lot.

I'm grateful.

I just... I just got a
little crazy about Janet,

and maybe I was wrong about that...

I bet I was... and I'm gonna
give her another chance,

because that's what you always said

that Ravenscroft was about,

IS giving people another chance.

You still do believe that, don't you?

Huh?

You believe it, don't you?

You wouldn't go along
with the program, Debbie.

You see, if you do not get better,

it looks like my methods are a failure.

I'm a failure.

I don't know what failure looks like.

No failure.

Tim!

Tim!

I'm gonna kill you, you son of a bitch.

Kill him!

Kill him!

Kill him!

You're gonna Kill me, aren't you?

That's what you did to all of them.

Yvonne, Tina, all of them.

Don't be silly, Debbie.

I don't kill people.

You have to be alone

to think, think about what you've done.

Oh, Christ, no!

I'm just a kid!

Be very quiet, Debbie. Quiet.

No!

Think. Think about what you've done.

You must not move, not at all.

No, let me out of here!

Somebody help me!

You must be quiet, Debbie, silent.

Absolutely silent.

No, I won't tell you where I sent her.

This is important.

She's in a more
disciplined environment now.

She'll have to experience the contrast

with Ravenscroft.

But maybe she knows
something about the Ketter boy.

Gary, his poor mother is worried sick.

He's probably gone looking for her.

Well, if so, he'll be
home within 48 hours.

Janet, you know that I'm right.

I mean, would I ever do anything

that wasn't best for any of the girls,

that wasn't best for you, would I?

Gary, I just...

Would I?

- It's just...
- Would I?

Excuse me.

Ah, yes.

Ken, yes, I meant to call you
back but I was interrupted.

Yes, I've talked to all the girls.

They don't seem to know anything.

They don't know anything
about him, either.

Yes, Janet told me.

Well, as a matter of
fact, she never seemed

that unhappy to me.

Plus, she was one of my
more successful cases.

Yeah.

Well, when you're dealing with
the psyche, you never know.

I mean, she had a streak
that was difficult to tame.

I'm sure you'll find her.

Looking for something?

I wanna know what happened to Debbie.

This says she ran away.

This says that all the
girls had the same problem.

Gary, what is going on here?

They did have the same problem.

I didn't transfer Debbie.

She ran away.

I failed with her

and with the others.

Gary, there is something going on here,

something that you won't admit,

and I wanna know what it is!

You're deluded, Janet.

You're getting as paranoid
as some of the residents.

These girls, Gary, where are they?

Where are they?

They need to think about things.

It's the only way they'll ever get well.

To be alone and to think.

The method works.

I know it does.

That's how my father made me better.

Methods? Your methods are insane!

Insane?!

What else, crazy?

Deranged?

Am I that, too?

No, my darling, there are no such things.

Just fantasies and delusions.

It can all be cured with a little time,

a little time

to think.

Yes, of course, you're
right, you're right.

I just need time to think.

Oh, God, Gary, everything's
been happening so fast.

It's all been swimming around.

Please, just let me
rest, just let me think.

Of course, my darling.

Take your time, think.

Ken, yes.

I found out some things.

No, not directly about Tim,

but I don't know, strange things.

Listen, I'm scared.

No, no, I'm leaving here.

Can you meet me at the coffee shop?

All right, what about later tonight?

What time?

Okay, good, all right, thank you.

Shit!

Don't run away.

Gary, what are you doing?

All that I've tried to
do is help you, Janet.

Why are you doing this?

You're paranoid, Janet.

No.

Now, I want you to come inside.

No, I won't.

Janet, don't run.

You'll be all right.

Janet!

- Janet!
- No!

- Janet!
- No!

No!

Janet, I just
want us to be happy.

We're going to be, believe me.

Gary, please, I just wanna leave.

Please, just let me go!

Let me go!

Of course, you want to leave.

Run, run,

just like all the rest!

Janet, Janet!

Somebody help me!

Gary, leave me alone!

Somebody help me!

Fingers!

Boze!

You're wasting your time.

All of them are still watching a movie.

Oh, Fingers!

Somebody!

Someone!

Help me!

Gary!

Gary, let me out!

Somebody help me!

Gary, leave me alone!

Gary, don't do this!

Nothing to dread.

Nothing to fear, nothing to dread.

This is my hair.

Fingers!

Janet!

Janet!

Janet, don't run away from me.

I love you.

Janet, I want you to be my wife.

Janet, we can build a life.

I know what you do
with these little girls!

You're going to ruin everything!

You wanna wind up back in a straitjacket

where you started, huh?

No!

No!

Not the spark!

Not the spark!

Oh, yes, you're going to...

Not the spark!

No, not the spark!

No, not the spark!

Please!

Not the spark!

No, no!

No.

No.

Janet, I'll find you.

Janet!

You're wrong, this is your fate.

Give up.

Don't run from me.

I can save you.

Janet, give up!

Come back and stay with me.

We can start over here together.

Janet!

Janet!

Relax, darling.

Relax.

Where am I?

My room, Janet,

where I spent my youth.

Right here.

Gary?

I don't understand, what are
you doing? What are you doing?

So many days, right here.

This is where I developed
my theories and my methods.

Right here.

All alone.

No, stop this. Please, stop.

He thought I was crazy.

But I cured myself.

Right here.

He didn't know what it felt like

to be totally confined in a
small, dark place, all alone.

Hardly any air to breathe.

He found out.

And you will, too.

Gary.

I want you to understand me, Janet.

I want you to understand me.

Completely.

I thought you loved me.

I do love you, Janet.

I love you very much.

That's why I want you to have time

to think about things,

think about us.

Gary, I'm frightened.

I'm so scared.

I really love you.

No, Gary, no!

Gary, remember your little punishment.

No, no, no, don't punish me!

Get back, get back,
get back, I killed you!

You're dead!

No, Gary, you're just
killing me.

Gary, don't!

It's your father!

All right,
Ken, see you when you get back.

Ten-four.

- Still no sign of...
- No, no.

The bodies of Dr. Schaeffer, three girls,

and Tim are all we found.

We'll just have to keep looking.

They could still be alive.

They?

I'm sorry, I mean he.

Excuse me.

Okay, what's happening?

I spoke to 'em.

They want us to go up there.

Jean, where are you?

- Over here!
- Away!

You know, Janet, I've been thinking.

You oughta check with the local school.

I'm sure they could use
a good teacher, you know.

Hey, you might not think so,

but this really is a very,
very peaceful little community

we have out here.

Well, maybe I'll take you up on that.

Thank you, Ken.

I could use a dose peace and quiet.

Big dose.
