Mission: Impossible (1966–1973): Season 1, Episode 11 - Zubrovnik's Ghost - full transcript
Rollin Hand and Barney Collier are sent to investigate the case of a female scientist who believes her dead husband's ghost is giving her orders on how to complete her important work.
Man: GOOD MORNING, MR. BRIGGS.
YOU REMEMBER
DR. MARTHA RICHARDS.
TWO YEARS AGO,
WHILE ON VACATION IN AUSTRIA,
SHE MET AND MARRIED
DR. KURT ZUBROVNIK.
SHE NEVER RETURNED TO AMERICA,
CONTINUING HER EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT RESEARCH WORK
WITH HER HUSBAND IN AUSTRIA.
ABOUT A YEAR AGO,
KURT ZUBROVNIK
WAS BURNED TO DEATH
IN A LABORATORY FIRE
IN THEIR HOME.
MARTHA WENT ON WORKING
AFTER HER HUSBAND'S DEATH,
BUT RECENTLY
STOPPED SENDING US
THE RESULTS OF HER EXPERIMENTS.
WE HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE
IT IS BECAUSE THIS MAN,
SIGMUND POLYAK,
IS PRESSURING HER
TO WORK
BEHIND THE IRON CURTAIN.
IF IT WERE
AN ORDINARY PRESSURE,
WE COULD FIGHT IT,
BUT POLYAK IS A MEDIUM,
AND MARTHA ZUBROVNIK
IS BEING ASKED TO DEFECT
BY THE GHOST
OF HER DEAD HUSBAND.
MR. BRIGGS, YOUR MISSION,
SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT,
WOULD BE TO KEEP HER
FROM GOING
BEHIND THE IRON CURTAIN
AND GET HER
WORKING FOR US AGAIN.
AS ALWAYS, SHOULD YOU
OR ANY OF YOUR I.M. FORCE
BE CAUGHT OR KILLED,
THE SECRETARY WILL DISAVOW
ANY KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR ACTIONS.
PLEASE DISPOSE
OF THIS RECORDING
IN THE USUAL MANNER.
[ SIZZLING ]
Man, whispering: Martha...
Martha...
this is Kurt.
Barney: YOU CAN'T SEE
A BEAM OF LIGHT, CORRECT?
IT'S BECAUSE I'M USING
A BLACK LIGHT.
NOW WATCH WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN I PUT MY HAND
OVER THE SLAVE PROJECTOR.
Dan: VERY NICE.
ALL RIGHT,
BE A PSYCHIC RESEARCH TEAM
ANXIOUS TO DOCUMENT
A VALID SUPERNATURAL EVENT.
I CAN'T GO WITH YOU, BECAUSE
MARTHA ZUBROVNIK KNOWS ME.
ARIANA --
WHITE WINE AND SODA,
PLEASE.
WOULD YOU CARE
FOR A DRINK?
[ ALL CHUCKLING ]
OH, I BROUGHT A TAPE HERE
OF A SEANCE I CONDUCTED.
I'D LIKE YOU TO HEAR IT.
Dan: DR. ZUBROVNIK SWORE
TO HIS WIFE BEFORE HIS DEATH,
IF IT WAS POSSIBLE FOR HIM
TO COME BACK FROM THE GRAVE,
HE WOULD...
AND HE SEEMS TO BE DOING IT.
THIS IS THE MAN
THROUGH WHOM HE SPEAKS.
FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF
WITH HIS BACKGROUND.
A FAKE ON THE CASE, HUH?
OH, I WISH YOU WOULDN'T
USE THAT WORD.
FAKES EXIST, ARIANA.
I KNOW, BUT...
YOU KNOW HOW I HATE
ANY DISHONESTY IN REGARD
TO THE SUPERNATURAL.
I KNOW NOTHING
ABOUT THE SUPERNATURAL.
NEITHER DO I.
WHY DON'T WE
JUST CONVINCE MRS. ZUBROVNIK
SHE'S BEING TAKEN?
WE DON'T KNOW
THE GHOST IS NOT REAL.
THANK YOU FOR THAT.
OH, COME ON, DAN.
TO MARTHA ZUBROVNIK,
THE SPIRIT OF HER
DEAD HUSBAND EXISTS.
YOU CAN'T FIGHT THAT BELIEF
WITH LOGIC.
WELL, IF YOU CAN'T
FIGHT GHOSTS WITH LOGIC,
FIGHT GHOSTS WITH GHOSTS.
THAT'S RIGHT.
WHY DON'T YOU USE
THE EARPHONES?
DAN WAS AT THE SEANCE,
AND HE'S FAMILIAR WITH IT.
DAN...YOU KNOW
THE TRUTH ABOUT ME.
WHY SO MUCH SELLING,
SO MUCH
LOUD CONFIDENCE IN ME?
ROLLIN AND BARNEY ARE SURE
THAT YOU'RE AS MUCH A FAKE
AS POLYAK.
FOR THE SAKE OF THE MISSION,
I DON'T WANT THEM
ABSOLUTELY SURE.
[ BEE BUZZING ]
[ BEE BUZZING ]
A BEE.
BEES DON'T FLY AT NIGHT.
HELLO!
I THOUGHT
WE WERE EXPECTED.
HELLO?
HELLO!
[ GROWLING ]
[ SNARLING ]
SHH.
SHH.
[ GROWLING ]
WE WON'T HURT YOU.
WE WON'T HURT HIM?
SHH.
STAY. STAY.
BE CALM.
BE CALM.
REMEMBER MANY KINDNESSES.
GOOD DOG.
GOOD DOG.
Woman: WHO'S THAT?
DR. ZUBROVNIK?
YES.
I BELIEVE
WE'RE EXPECTED.
OH, YES, OF COURSE.
I'M SO SORRY, MISTER...?
ROLLIN HAND.
MADAME DOMBE?
MR. COLLIER.
DID YOU HAVE A DIFFICULT
TRIP FROM VIENNA?
NO, IT WAS QUITE LOVELY
UNTIL JUST NOW,
WHEN WE RAN INTO YOUR DOG.
WHAT DOG?
A BIG DOG THAT LOOKS AS IF
IT MIGHT BE PART WOLF.
WILBUR?
WHERE DID HE GO?
HE RAN OUT THE DOOR.
IT WAS OPEN WHEN WE ARRIVED.
WHEN MY HUSBAND DIED,
THE DOG WENT WILD,
AND HE HASN'T BEEN SEEN
IN THE HOUSE SINCE.
LET ME SHOW YOU
TO YOUR ROOMS.
OH, THANK YOU.
YOU MUST BE SO TIRED
AFTER THE LONG TRIP.
I'M SO PLEASED
YOU COULD COME.
HAVE YOU HAD
SOMETHING TO EAT?
YES, WE STOPPED
ON THE WAY.
OH, MR. POLYAK, THESE ARE
THE PSYCHIC RESEARCH PEOPLE.
SIGMUND POLYAK, AND MY
ASSISTANT, MR. KROGER.
HOW DO YOU DO?
HOW DO YOU DO?
ROLLIN HAND.
ARIANA DOMBE.
BARNEY COLLIER.
THE SKEPTICS.
YOU SHOULD BE GLAD
THAT THEY'RE HERE.
THEY CAN ONLY
HELP TO DOCUMENT
WHAT YOU'VE ALREADY PROVED.
WE'D MUCH PREFER FINDING
REAL EVIDENCE
OF THE SUPERNATURAL
THAN NOT FINDING IT.
YES, OF COURSE.
WILL YOU EXCUSE ME?
COME THIS WAY.
GENTLEMEN,
THIS IS YOUR ROOM.
OH, I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND.
I LEFT TWO CASES
OF EQUIPMENT
IN THE HALLWAY
DOWNSTAIRS.
OF COURSE NOT.
WE'VE HEARD A GREAT DEAL
ABOUT YOUR INTEREST
IN THE SPIRIT WORLD.
WE LOOK FORWARD
TO A DEMONSTRATION.
PERHAPS YOU'D CARE
TO JOIN US IN AN HOUR OR SO.
YOU AND MR. POLYAK?
YES...AND MY HUSBAND.
[ BUZZING ]
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
LOOKS LIKE IT'S
TRYING TO RAIN.
YES.
SO, CAMERAS WITH ALARMS
AND CLOCKS THAT RECORD THE EXACT
TIME THEY'RE TRIPPED.
YES, AND ELECTRIC EYES
THAT TRIP THE CAMERAS,
AND A HEAT SENSOR
THAT WILL RECORD
ANY MOVEMENT
OF GHOSTLY MATERIAL.
IS EVERYTHING
ALMOST READY?
ALMOST.
GOOD.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
THIS CASKET HAS BEEN LOCKED
SINCE MY HUSBAND
PUT A MESSAGE IN IT
JUST AFTER WE WERE MARRIED.
HE SAID THAT IF ANYTHING
SHOULD HAPPEN TO HIM,
HE WOULD TRY
TO COME BACK TO ME.
TONIGHT IS THE ANNIVERSARY
OF HIS DEATH.
NOT ANOTHER SOUL KNOWS
WHAT IS IN THIS BOX BUT ME.
THAT'S LIKE THE MESSAGE
HOUDINI LEFT FOR DUNNINGER.
I THINK WE HAVE
GREATER POSSIBILITIES.
KURT AND I
WERE A LITTLE CLOSER
THAN HOUDINI
AND DUNNINGER.
PLEASE, SIT DOWN,
EVERYONE.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
NOW...JOIN HANDS.
YOUR LEFT FOOT
SHOULD BE TOUCHING
THE FOOT OF THE PERSON
SITTING BESIDE YOU.
MY CONTROL
IS NAMED DUDOIR.
HE WAS
AN ALSATIAN PUGILIST
WHO WAS KILLED
IN THE BOXING RING.
I WILL TRY TO REACH HIM.
DUDOIR.
WE ARE HERE.
DUDOIR,
WE ARE SIX TONIGHT.
[ THUNDER RUMBLING ]
DUDOIR, WE ARE WAITING.
I FEEL THAT YOU ARE
COMING CLOSER...
APPROACHING FROM BEYOND.
COME INTO ME, DUDOIR.
COME INTO THIS PLACE
THROUGH ME.
DUDOIR, I FEEL
THAT YOU ARE NEAR.
WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT
FOR YOU TO COME?
Dudoir:
THERE IS DOUBT.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
YES, THERE IS DOUBT, DUDOIR,
BUT IT WILL GO AWAY.
WE ARE GRATEFUL, DUDOIR,
GRATEFUL,
THAT YOU HAVE COME TO US...
SO QUICKLY.
Dudoir: THE PROMISE MADE
WILL BE FULFILLED...
BUT THERE ARE
THOSE AMONG YOU
WHO DO NOT BELIEVE.
OH...PLEASE,
COME BACK, DUDOIR.
THEY MEAN YOU NO HARM.
DUDOIR, DON'T LEAVE US.
EYES CLOSED, EVERYONE.
NO ONE MOVE.
Dudoir:
I...AM...WITH YOU.
THERE IS A MESSAGE
FOR MARTHA.
YOUR WORK MUST GO QUICKLY
TO ITS CONCLUSION.
WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED,
KURT WILL COME TO YOU
HIMSELF.
FOUR...SEVEN...
BACK 19.
DEATH, NOT LIFE,
IS THE OVERTURE
TO ETERNITY.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
NO ONE ELSE KNEW.
I WAS THE ONLY ONE.
I WILL TRY TO WORK HARDER.
I WILL TRY, I WILL TRY.
OH, KURT.
KURT.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
YES.
NO ONE ELSE
COULD HAVE KNOWN
THE COMBINATION...
OR THE MESSAGE.
I WAS THE ONLY ONE
WHO KNEW.
FOUR...SEVEN...
BACK 19.
OPEN THE BOX QUICKLY,
PLEASE.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
"DEATH, NOT LIFE,
"IS THE OVERTURE
TO ETERNITY.
KURT."
THANK YOU, MR. POLYAK.
AND THANK YOU,
DEAR, DEAR KURT.
THERE IS LIFE AFTER DEATH.
[ BUZZING ]
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
WERE YOU IMPRESSED
BY WHAT YOU WITNESSED?
VERY.
AND YOU, MR. COLLIER?
VERY IMPRESSED.
I WAS GREATLY MOVED.
IT SEEMS TO ME
THERE IS NO DOUBT
THERE IS A SPIRIT
IN THIS HOUSE.
MARTHA, I WILL SEE YOU
TO YOUR ROOM.
Martha: GOOD NIGHT.
Barney: GOOD NIGHT.
[ THUNDER RUMBLES ]
WHAT ABOUT THAT BOX?
THE BOX COULDN'T HAVE BEEN
TAMPERED WITH.
THE RUST ON THE HINGES
WAS REAL.
YOU SAW THE PAPER --
YELLOW WITH AGE.
AND THE SEALS ON THE ENVELOPE
HAVE NOT BEEN TOUCHED.
ARIANA, HE WAS GOOD,
BUT WASN'T HIS VOICE
A LITTLE OBVIOUS?
PERHAPS.
PERHAPS? COME ON.
LEVEL WITH US, ARIANA.
THAT WAS NONSENSE.
PERHAPS.
I'LL TRY TO CONCENTRATE.
KURT WANTS YOUR WORK
TO GO WELL
AND TO BE COMPLETED.
[ ALARM BUZZES ]
[ DOG BARKING ]
[ GROWLING ]
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
[ HOWLS ]
COULD HE BE ANGRY
WITH ME?
POSSIBLY.
EVERYTHING
ISN'T SUPERNATURAL.
IT WAS VIBRATION
FROM THE THUNDERSTORM.
THE WHOLE HOUSE SHOOK.
BARNEY, MAYBE MR. POLYAK
IS RIGHT.
YOU CLAIM TO BE
OBJECTIVE, MR. HAND.
YOU KNOW YOU
DON'T REALLY BELIEVE THAT.
AND WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?
I AM A MEDIUM. I FEEL IT.
YOU ARE NOT ORIENTED
TO BE A BELIEVER.
[ THUNDER RUMBLES ]
WHY DID YOU LET HER THINK
POLYAK IS RIGHT?
WELL, WE MUSTN'T LET HER
FEEL WE SUSPECT POLYAK
IF WE'RE
GOING TO EXPOSE HIM.
WELL, ARE YOU SURE
YOU CAN?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WELL, THERE'S NO NEED
TO LIE ABOUT IT.
I TOLD HIM THE TRUTH.
THERE IS A SPIRIT --
A GHOST, IF YOU PREFER --
IN THIS HOUSE.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE
JUST BEING TACTFUL.
I'M NEVER TACTFUL
ABOUT THE SUPERNATURAL.
WELL, THERE'S SOMETHING
YOU SHOULD KNOW.
YOU SEE, MADAME ZUBROVNIK
WANTS TO BELIEVE
THAT THE SPIRIT HERE
IS KIND AND LOVING.
BUT THE SPIRIT HERE
ISN'T KIND AND LOVING.
UNFORTUNATELY,
IT'S QUITE MALEVOLENT.
YOU SEE, SPIRITS
DON'T USUALLY MOVE ABOUT.
THEY GENERALLY REMAIN
NEAR THE PLACE
WHERE THE DEATH OCCURRED,
AND THAT'S WHERE YOU'LL
FIND THE TRUTH, NOT HERE.
AND ZUBROVNIK
WAS BURNED TO DEATH
IN HIS LABORATORY.
[ THUNDER RUMBLING ]
[ BUZZING ]
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
KILL THE LIGHT.
WE'LL USE THE BURNER.
YOU WANT US TO HOLD HANDS
OR SOMETHING?
NO, NO, NO.
I WANT YOU TO SIT QUIET
AND TRY TO HELP ME.
[ THUNDER RUMBLES ]
MY CONTROL IS A YOUNG GIRL
OF 16, FRANCES,
WHO DIED IN 1900.
FRANCES.
FRANCES?
CAN YOU HEAR ME?
THIS IS ARIANA.
I AM FAR FROM HOME...
BUT I KNOW
THAT YOU CAN HEAR ME.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
FRANCES!
PLEASE.
HEAR ME...
AND TALK TO ME.
WE ARE ANXIOUS.
WE ARE SO ANXIOUS...
TO TALK TO YOU.
FRANCES.
Frances: [ Whispering ]
Ariana...
I...hear...you.
FRANCES.
FRANCES...
THERE WAS A FIRE HERE
A YEAR AGO,
AND A MAN WAS BURNED.
[ FRANCES GASPING ]
YES!
FRANCES.
FRANCES, CAN YOU HEAR ME?
FRANCES!
FRANCES, PLEASE COME BACK
AND TALK TO US.
YOU WERE HERE A MOMENT AGO.
Frances: AAAHHHH!
I...AM...HERE.
FRANCES!
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
THERE IS DEATH...
AND AGONY
AND TORMENT CLOSE TO YOU.
I DON'T LIKE
TO TALK ABOUT IT.
IT...HAS AN...
UNQUENCHABLE POWER.
IT HATES. IT HATES!
IT CANNOT BE CONTROLLED...
AND IT WILL KILL!
OH.
THAT WAS THE SPIRIT
OF THE FIRE...
BUT IT'S
NOT THE ONE WE EXPECTED.
IT'S ANOTHER SPIRIT.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
[ BUZZING ]
OH.
ARIANA,
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
YES.
THE SPIRIT OF THE MAN
WHO DIED IN THE FIRE --
THAT WAS NOT THE SPIRIT
OF KURT ZUBROVNIK.
THAT'S IT.
KURT ZUBROVNIK IS ALIVE.
I DON'T KNOW HOW I KNOW.
MY SUBCONSCIOUS KNOWS,
AND THAT'S HOW IT TELLS ME.
YOU MEAN YOU CAME
TO THE CONCLUSION
THAT KURT IS ALIVE
ON THE BASIS OF HER SEANCE?
NO, I DON'T KNOW
HOW SHE CAME
TO THAT CONCLUSION,
BUT IT'S LOGICAL.
NOW, LOOK.
THE COMBINATION OF THE LOCK,
THE CONTENTS OF THE LETTER.
NOW, LOOK.
WE BOTH KNOW THAT BOX
WAS NOT TAMPERED WITH.
NEITHER WAS THE LETTER.
SO KURT IS ALIVE.
THEY'RE GETTING INFORMATION
FROM HIM.
THEY'RE EVEN TORTURING HIM,
POSSIBLY.
IF KURT IS ALIVE,
WHAT WAS THAT?
THAT WAS THE SPIRIT
OF THE MAN WHO REALLY DIED.
IT'S QUITE POSSIBLE
THAT THEY COULD HAVE BURNED
SOMEONE ELSE.
THEY KNEW OF KURT'S INTEREST
IN SPIRITUALISM
THROUGH POLYAK,
SO THEY FAKED HIS DEATH
IN ORDER TO GET CONTROL
OF MARTHA'S RESEARCH.
NOW ALL WE HAVE TO DO
IS...IS FIND KURT.
WHEN I PUT THE LUGGAGE
IN THE STOREROOM,
I SAW A TRUNK IN THERE
THAT BELONGS TO POLYAK.
LET'S GET A LOOK AT IT.
NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.
WHAT ABOUT MARTHA?
SUPPOSE SHE'S NOT
ON THE UP-AND-UP.
SUPPOSE SHE'S FAKING
THIS WHOLE THING TO DEFECT.
IT'S TOO ELABORATE.
SHE WOULDN'T GO
TO ALL THAT TROUBLE.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK
AT THE TRUNK.
MAYBE THERE'S A CLUE
AS TO WHERE KURT IS HIDDEN.
ALL RIGHT. ARIANA?
NO, YOU LEAVE ME ALONE
IN HERE.
YOU TRY YOUR WAY,
AND I'LL TRY MINE.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
THAT'S IT.
[ CLICK ]
YOU GOT IT.
THAT WASN'T ME.
IT'S BOLTED.
GET THE WINDOW.
CAN WE GET OUT THE WINDOW?
WE'RE TOO HIGH TO JUMP.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
GIVE ME A HAND.
GET THAT ELECTRIC HEATER
OVER THERE
AND RIP THE CORD
OFF OF IT.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
OH!
HOW DID YOU
GET IN HERE, MADAME?
THE DOOR WAS OPEN.
ARE YOU IN THE HABIT
OF ENTERING
EVERY OPEN DOOR?
WELL, ISN'T THIS
WHERE THE FIRE STARTED?
WHY DOES THAT CONCERN YOU?
WELL, I'M INTERESTED
IN THE CIRCUMSTANCES
OF THE DEATH.
[ COUGHING ]
[ HUMMING ]
I THINK THE MAGNET
IS GOING TO WORK.
[ GRUNTS ]
ALMOST HAD IT.
GOOD BOY.
GET THE TRUNK.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
WE WERE ONLY DISCUSSING
THE SUPERNATURAL.
NOW, WHY SHOULD THAT
UPSET YOU?
I SHOULD PREFER
NOT TO CONTINUE
THIS DISCUSSION.
KROGER.
I WANT A WORD WITH YOU.
AND I WITH YOU.
[ FOOTSTEPS ]
HOW ARE YOU BOYS DOING?
DID YOU FIND ANYTHING?
NOT WHAT WE WERE
LOOKING FOR.
HOW ABOUT YOU?
I HAD A VISION
OF KURT ZUBROVNIK, OF STREETS,
A SMALL COMMUNITY
NOT FAR FROM HERE,
AND THE BUTCHERING
OF LAMBS AND CATTLE.
THE TOWN
WE DROVE THROUGH.
MAYBE.
THAT'S AS GOOD A GUESS
AS ANY.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
GENTLEMEN.
GOOD EVENING,
MR. POLYAK.
SOMEBODY HAS TRIPPED
THIS CAMERA BY HAND.
MY APOLOGIES.
I ACCIDENTALLY MOVED
THE LEVER.
LET'S SEE IF YOU CAUGHT
ANYTHING.
THAT LOOKS
LIKE THE WAY OUT.
[ WHIMPERING ]
COME ON, ARIANA.
WAIT A SECOND.
TRYING TO FIND
KURT ZUBROVNIK
WAS A GOOD IDEA
10 MINUTES AGO.
[ DOG WHIMPERING ]
KURT ZUBROVNIK IS DEAD.
WHAT'S THAT BLUR
IN THE CORNER?
IT'S A BEE.
[ BUZZING ]
THERE'S NO POINT
IN GOING ON. HE'S DEAD.
THEY'LL MOVE THE BODY
IMMEDIATELY.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS?
HOW DID HE DIE?
I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT.
ALL I KNOW IS WHAT I KNOW,
WHAT I FEEL.
ARE YOU SURE
ABOUT WHAT YOU FEEL?
ALL I KNOW IS WHAT I FEEL,
NOT WHAT I THINK.
[ DOG WHIMPERS ]
[ RINGING ]
HELLO?
YES, THIS IS HE.
YES.
KROGER.
WHAT HAPPENED?
I THINK KURT IS DEAD.
IF POLYAK'S SOURCE
OF INFORMATION IS GONE,
AND HE LOSES CONTROL
OVER MARTHA,
HE COULD MAKE
A SUDDEN MOVE.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
I'M SO SORRY, BUT WE
HAVE TO LEAVE TOMORROW.
FORGIVE ME FOR BRINGING YOU
SUCH A GREAT DISTANCE
FOR SO BRIEF A VISIT.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
I MUST COMPLETE MY WORK.
AWAY FROM THIS PLACE,
DR. ZUBROVNIK
WILL BE ABLE TO CONCENTRATE.
I'M AFRAID YOU'LL HAVE TO
PREPARE TO LEAVE AS WELL.
IF SHE LEAVES WITH POLYAK,
WE'RE FINISHED.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
[ SLAM ]
Kroger: POLYAK,
THE DOOR IS LOCKED!
AHH!
[ GLASS BREAKS ]
KROGER!
WHAT IS IT?
KROGER!
[ THUNDER RUMBLING ]
HE'S DEAD.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
OUR ONLY CHANCE
IS TO HAVE ANOTHER SEANCE
BEFORE THEY GET AWAY.
BARNEY, HOW LONG
WILL IT TAKE YOU
TO RIG UP THE PROJECTOR
IN THE LIVING ROOM?
TWENTY TO TWENTY-FIVE
MINUTES AT THE MOST.
ARIANA, I WANT YOU
TO GET MARTHA TO AGREE
TO ANOTHER SEANCE TONIGHT,
IN HALF AN HOUR.
AT THIS SEANCE, I WANT YOU
TO GO INTO A TRANCE.
HAVE THE GHOST
OF KURT ZUBROVNIK
ACCUSE POLYAK
OF BEING A MURDERER,
AND HAVING HELD HIM
PRISONER.
OH, ROLLIN, I CAN'T.
I'M SORRY.
THE ONLY WAY
TO BREAK A MAN LIKE THIS
IS TO HAVE HIM
TRAP HIMSELF.
YOU MUSTN'T ASK ME
TO DO THIS.
YOU KNOW
WHAT I TOLD BRIGGS.
I DON'T LIKE BEING DISHONEST
ABOUT THE SUPERNATURAL.
BARNEY, WE'RE ON OUR OWN.
BETTER GET STARTED.
ARIANA, CAN YOU
AT LEAST STALL MARTHA
FOR HALF AN HOUR WHILE
WE'RE IN THE LIVING ROOM?
OH, DON'T BE ANGRY
WITH ME.
ALL RIGHT. I'LL TRY
TO ARRANGE ANOTHER SEANCE.
BUT THE REST IS UP TO YOU.
Martha:
YES? WHO IS IT?
IT'S ARIANA.
I KNOW HOW TIRED
YOU MUST BE,
BUT I'D LIKE
TO TALK TO YOU.
COME IN.
WHAT IS IT?
WELL, MADAME, I WAS
HOPING TO PERSUADE YOU
TO PUT YOUR TRIP OFF
FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS.
WE'VE BEEN SO IMPRESSED
BY WHAT'S HAPPENED HERE,
WE'D REALLY LIKE
TO DOCUMENT IT.
I THINK THAT YOU'VE GOT
ENOUGH ALREADY.
I MUST GET AWAY FROM HERE
AND CONCENTRATE
AND COMPLETE MY WORK.
THAT'S WHAT KURT WANTS.
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
MARTHA,
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
MARTHA,
MAY I COME INSIDE?
YES. COME IN.
I, UM...WAS HOPING
TO PERSUADE DR. ZUBROVNIK
TO DELAY HER TRIP
FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS.
WERE YOU?
WE CANNOT DELAY
OUR DEPARTURE
JUST FOR PSYCHIC RESEARCH.
BUT I FEEL HER HUSBAND'S
PRESENCE VERY CLOSE TO ME.
YOU FEEL HIM?
YES. LIKE YOU, I'M A MEDIUM,
AND I FEEL I CAN REACH HIM.
A MEDIUM?
IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL
IF HE COULD COME TO ME
THROUGH SOMEONE ELSE
AS WELL.
THERE WILL BE NO ONE ELSE.
WELL, THEN,
PERHAPS MADAME ZUBROVNIK
AND I ALONE COULD --
NO!
YOU MUSTN'T
DENY HIM TO ME.
HE MAY HAVE SOMETHING
IMPORTANT TO SAY TO ME.
PLEASE BRING HIM TO ME,
EITHER OF YOU.
VERY WELL, BUT WE
MUST DO IT IMMEDIATELY.
I'LL CHANGE AT ONCE.
OKAY, TRY IT.
PERFECT.
[ DOOR OPENS ]
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
ANOTHER SEANCE.
OH, REALLY? WONDERFUL.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
IT ALWAYS HAPPENS
WHEN THERE'S A STORM.
WELL, LET'S WAIT, THEN.
NO, NO. THERE ISN'T TIME.
SIT DOWN.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
PLEASE SIT DOWN.
DUDOIR, THESE ARE MOMENTS
OF ANXIETY.
MARTHA ZUBROVNIK FEELS,
AND SOME OTHERS OF US FEEL,
THAT THE SPIRIT
OF HER HUSBAND IS NEAR,
URGENTLY DEMANDING
AUDIENCE.
DUDOIR...
IS...KURT...DISTURBED?
IS...HE...NEAR YOU?
Dudoir: YES.
HE IS NEAR ME.
HE IS IMPATIENT.
THERE ARE STILL STRANGERS
WITH YOU.
THEY ANNOY HIM.
HIS WIFE
MUST FINISH HER WORK.
WHEN SHE ARRIVES,
KURT WILL COME TO HER
HIMSELF.
HE IS PROUD OF HER
AND OF HER WORK,
BUT HE DOES NOT WANT
TO SPEAK TO HER AGAIN
UNTIL SHE HAS ARRIVED
AT HER DESTINATION.
Man: MARTHA!
MARTHA!
I...
I WILL SPEAK TO YOU.
MARTHA!
MARTHA...IT IS I.
IT IS KURT.
IT IS I...
WHAT IS THIS INTERFERENCE?
BREAKING THE LAWS
OF INFINITY
TO COME TO YOU.
MARTHA,
THIS IS TRICKERY.
NO.
NO, I'M SURE
IT'S KURT'S VOICE.
I KNOW IT.
Kurt: MARTHA...MARTHA.
I AM WITH YOU.
I DO LOVE YOU.
HOW CAN THIS BE
KURT'S VOICE
COMING FROM THIS WOMAN?
SHE DOES NOT HAVE
A CONTROL.
Kurt:
DO NOT BE AFRAID.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE ANGRY
WITH ME.
I AM NOT ANGRY WITH YOU.
IT IS ANOTHER MAN
WHO WAS ANGRY.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
MARTHA, WHAT YOU
ARE HEARING IS FAKERY.
[ COUGHING ]
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
WHAT MAN IS ANGRY?
Kurt: IT IS A SIMPLE MAN
WHO WAS MURDERED.
[ COUGHING ]
HE WAS A BEEKEEPER.
IT WAS HE, THE BEEKEEPER,
WHO WAS ANGRY.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.
THE DAMPER IS OPEN.
[ COUGHING ]
MR. POLYAK?
WHAT'S HAPPENING?
[ THUNDER CRASHING ]
[ COUGHING ]
[ THUNDER CRASHING ]
[ COUGHING ]
[ COUGHING CONTINUES ]
[ SIGHS ]
[ BUZZING ]
[ THUNDER RUMBLING ]
OHH!
AHH!
Polyak: OHH!
MR. POLYAK?
WHAT'S WRONG
WITH THE BOLT?
I CAN'T BUDGE IT.
IT'S STUCK.
AHH!
IS THAT BEES?
MR. POLYAK?
[ BUZZING ]
[ THUNDER CRASHING ]
THANK YOU.
YES.
WE WISH YOU WOULD
CHANGE YOUR MIND.
I DON'T THINK I WILL.
I WANT TO STAY HERE,
WHERE KURT IS.
AND I'LL WORK WELL,
NOW THAT I KNOW THE TRUTH.
WE NEED YOU,
AND WE'LL MISS YOU.
THANK YOU, MR. HAND.
I'LL START SENDING
THE REPORTS AGAIN.
GOOD.
GOODBYE.
GOODBYE, MR. COLLIER.
GOODBYE.
GOODBYE, AND THANK YOU.
GOODBYE.
THANK YOU.
ARIANA...HOW DID YOU KNOW
ABOUT THAT BEEKEEPER?
I SAW BEES.
IT WAS A HUNCH.
ARIANA, I'LL NEVER
DOUBT YOU AGAIN...
OUT LOUD.
AND YOU, ROLLIN?
WELL, I DON'T KNOW.
YOU DON'T KNOW.
[ SIGHS ]
THEN I GAVE
MY GREATEST PERFORMANCE.
[ BUZZING ]
YOU REMEMBER
DR. MARTHA RICHARDS.
TWO YEARS AGO,
WHILE ON VACATION IN AUSTRIA,
SHE MET AND MARRIED
DR. KURT ZUBROVNIK.
SHE NEVER RETURNED TO AMERICA,
CONTINUING HER EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT RESEARCH WORK
WITH HER HUSBAND IN AUSTRIA.
ABOUT A YEAR AGO,
KURT ZUBROVNIK
WAS BURNED TO DEATH
IN A LABORATORY FIRE
IN THEIR HOME.
MARTHA WENT ON WORKING
AFTER HER HUSBAND'S DEATH,
BUT RECENTLY
STOPPED SENDING US
THE RESULTS OF HER EXPERIMENTS.
WE HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE
IT IS BECAUSE THIS MAN,
SIGMUND POLYAK,
IS PRESSURING HER
TO WORK
BEHIND THE IRON CURTAIN.
IF IT WERE
AN ORDINARY PRESSURE,
WE COULD FIGHT IT,
BUT POLYAK IS A MEDIUM,
AND MARTHA ZUBROVNIK
IS BEING ASKED TO DEFECT
BY THE GHOST
OF HER DEAD HUSBAND.
MR. BRIGGS, YOUR MISSION,
SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT,
WOULD BE TO KEEP HER
FROM GOING
BEHIND THE IRON CURTAIN
AND GET HER
WORKING FOR US AGAIN.
AS ALWAYS, SHOULD YOU
OR ANY OF YOUR I.M. FORCE
BE CAUGHT OR KILLED,
THE SECRETARY WILL DISAVOW
ANY KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR ACTIONS.
PLEASE DISPOSE
OF THIS RECORDING
IN THE USUAL MANNER.
[ SIZZLING ]
Man, whispering: Martha...
Martha...
this is Kurt.
Barney: YOU CAN'T SEE
A BEAM OF LIGHT, CORRECT?
IT'S BECAUSE I'M USING
A BLACK LIGHT.
NOW WATCH WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN I PUT MY HAND
OVER THE SLAVE PROJECTOR.
Dan: VERY NICE.
ALL RIGHT,
BE A PSYCHIC RESEARCH TEAM
ANXIOUS TO DOCUMENT
A VALID SUPERNATURAL EVENT.
I CAN'T GO WITH YOU, BECAUSE
MARTHA ZUBROVNIK KNOWS ME.
ARIANA --
WHITE WINE AND SODA,
PLEASE.
WOULD YOU CARE
FOR A DRINK?
[ ALL CHUCKLING ]
OH, I BROUGHT A TAPE HERE
OF A SEANCE I CONDUCTED.
I'D LIKE YOU TO HEAR IT.
Dan: DR. ZUBROVNIK SWORE
TO HIS WIFE BEFORE HIS DEATH,
IF IT WAS POSSIBLE FOR HIM
TO COME BACK FROM THE GRAVE,
HE WOULD...
AND HE SEEMS TO BE DOING IT.
THIS IS THE MAN
THROUGH WHOM HE SPEAKS.
FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF
WITH HIS BACKGROUND.
A FAKE ON THE CASE, HUH?
OH, I WISH YOU WOULDN'T
USE THAT WORD.
FAKES EXIST, ARIANA.
I KNOW, BUT...
YOU KNOW HOW I HATE
ANY DISHONESTY IN REGARD
TO THE SUPERNATURAL.
I KNOW NOTHING
ABOUT THE SUPERNATURAL.
NEITHER DO I.
WHY DON'T WE
JUST CONVINCE MRS. ZUBROVNIK
SHE'S BEING TAKEN?
WE DON'T KNOW
THE GHOST IS NOT REAL.
THANK YOU FOR THAT.
OH, COME ON, DAN.
TO MARTHA ZUBROVNIK,
THE SPIRIT OF HER
DEAD HUSBAND EXISTS.
YOU CAN'T FIGHT THAT BELIEF
WITH LOGIC.
WELL, IF YOU CAN'T
FIGHT GHOSTS WITH LOGIC,
FIGHT GHOSTS WITH GHOSTS.
THAT'S RIGHT.
WHY DON'T YOU USE
THE EARPHONES?
DAN WAS AT THE SEANCE,
AND HE'S FAMILIAR WITH IT.
DAN...YOU KNOW
THE TRUTH ABOUT ME.
WHY SO MUCH SELLING,
SO MUCH
LOUD CONFIDENCE IN ME?
ROLLIN AND BARNEY ARE SURE
THAT YOU'RE AS MUCH A FAKE
AS POLYAK.
FOR THE SAKE OF THE MISSION,
I DON'T WANT THEM
ABSOLUTELY SURE.
[ BEE BUZZING ]
[ BEE BUZZING ]
A BEE.
BEES DON'T FLY AT NIGHT.
HELLO!
I THOUGHT
WE WERE EXPECTED.
HELLO?
HELLO!
[ GROWLING ]
[ SNARLING ]
SHH.
SHH.
[ GROWLING ]
WE WON'T HURT YOU.
WE WON'T HURT HIM?
SHH.
STAY. STAY.
BE CALM.
BE CALM.
REMEMBER MANY KINDNESSES.
GOOD DOG.
GOOD DOG.
Woman: WHO'S THAT?
DR. ZUBROVNIK?
YES.
I BELIEVE
WE'RE EXPECTED.
OH, YES, OF COURSE.
I'M SO SORRY, MISTER...?
ROLLIN HAND.
MADAME DOMBE?
MR. COLLIER.
DID YOU HAVE A DIFFICULT
TRIP FROM VIENNA?
NO, IT WAS QUITE LOVELY
UNTIL JUST NOW,
WHEN WE RAN INTO YOUR DOG.
WHAT DOG?
A BIG DOG THAT LOOKS AS IF
IT MIGHT BE PART WOLF.
WILBUR?
WHERE DID HE GO?
HE RAN OUT THE DOOR.
IT WAS OPEN WHEN WE ARRIVED.
WHEN MY HUSBAND DIED,
THE DOG WENT WILD,
AND HE HASN'T BEEN SEEN
IN THE HOUSE SINCE.
LET ME SHOW YOU
TO YOUR ROOMS.
OH, THANK YOU.
YOU MUST BE SO TIRED
AFTER THE LONG TRIP.
I'M SO PLEASED
YOU COULD COME.
HAVE YOU HAD
SOMETHING TO EAT?
YES, WE STOPPED
ON THE WAY.
OH, MR. POLYAK, THESE ARE
THE PSYCHIC RESEARCH PEOPLE.
SIGMUND POLYAK, AND MY
ASSISTANT, MR. KROGER.
HOW DO YOU DO?
HOW DO YOU DO?
ROLLIN HAND.
ARIANA DOMBE.
BARNEY COLLIER.
THE SKEPTICS.
YOU SHOULD BE GLAD
THAT THEY'RE HERE.
THEY CAN ONLY
HELP TO DOCUMENT
WHAT YOU'VE ALREADY PROVED.
WE'D MUCH PREFER FINDING
REAL EVIDENCE
OF THE SUPERNATURAL
THAN NOT FINDING IT.
YES, OF COURSE.
WILL YOU EXCUSE ME?
COME THIS WAY.
GENTLEMEN,
THIS IS YOUR ROOM.
OH, I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND.
I LEFT TWO CASES
OF EQUIPMENT
IN THE HALLWAY
DOWNSTAIRS.
OF COURSE NOT.
WE'VE HEARD A GREAT DEAL
ABOUT YOUR INTEREST
IN THE SPIRIT WORLD.
WE LOOK FORWARD
TO A DEMONSTRATION.
PERHAPS YOU'D CARE
TO JOIN US IN AN HOUR OR SO.
YOU AND MR. POLYAK?
YES...AND MY HUSBAND.
[ BUZZING ]
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
LOOKS LIKE IT'S
TRYING TO RAIN.
YES.
SO, CAMERAS WITH ALARMS
AND CLOCKS THAT RECORD THE EXACT
TIME THEY'RE TRIPPED.
YES, AND ELECTRIC EYES
THAT TRIP THE CAMERAS,
AND A HEAT SENSOR
THAT WILL RECORD
ANY MOVEMENT
OF GHOSTLY MATERIAL.
IS EVERYTHING
ALMOST READY?
ALMOST.
GOOD.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
THIS CASKET HAS BEEN LOCKED
SINCE MY HUSBAND
PUT A MESSAGE IN IT
JUST AFTER WE WERE MARRIED.
HE SAID THAT IF ANYTHING
SHOULD HAPPEN TO HIM,
HE WOULD TRY
TO COME BACK TO ME.
TONIGHT IS THE ANNIVERSARY
OF HIS DEATH.
NOT ANOTHER SOUL KNOWS
WHAT IS IN THIS BOX BUT ME.
THAT'S LIKE THE MESSAGE
HOUDINI LEFT FOR DUNNINGER.
I THINK WE HAVE
GREATER POSSIBILITIES.
KURT AND I
WERE A LITTLE CLOSER
THAN HOUDINI
AND DUNNINGER.
PLEASE, SIT DOWN,
EVERYONE.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
NOW...JOIN HANDS.
YOUR LEFT FOOT
SHOULD BE TOUCHING
THE FOOT OF THE PERSON
SITTING BESIDE YOU.
MY CONTROL
IS NAMED DUDOIR.
HE WAS
AN ALSATIAN PUGILIST
WHO WAS KILLED
IN THE BOXING RING.
I WILL TRY TO REACH HIM.
DUDOIR.
WE ARE HERE.
DUDOIR,
WE ARE SIX TONIGHT.
[ THUNDER RUMBLING ]
DUDOIR, WE ARE WAITING.
I FEEL THAT YOU ARE
COMING CLOSER...
APPROACHING FROM BEYOND.
COME INTO ME, DUDOIR.
COME INTO THIS PLACE
THROUGH ME.
DUDOIR, I FEEL
THAT YOU ARE NEAR.
WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT
FOR YOU TO COME?
Dudoir:
THERE IS DOUBT.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
YES, THERE IS DOUBT, DUDOIR,
BUT IT WILL GO AWAY.
WE ARE GRATEFUL, DUDOIR,
GRATEFUL,
THAT YOU HAVE COME TO US...
SO QUICKLY.
Dudoir: THE PROMISE MADE
WILL BE FULFILLED...
BUT THERE ARE
THOSE AMONG YOU
WHO DO NOT BELIEVE.
OH...PLEASE,
COME BACK, DUDOIR.
THEY MEAN YOU NO HARM.
DUDOIR, DON'T LEAVE US.
EYES CLOSED, EVERYONE.
NO ONE MOVE.
Dudoir:
I...AM...WITH YOU.
THERE IS A MESSAGE
FOR MARTHA.
YOUR WORK MUST GO QUICKLY
TO ITS CONCLUSION.
WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED,
KURT WILL COME TO YOU
HIMSELF.
FOUR...SEVEN...
BACK 19.
DEATH, NOT LIFE,
IS THE OVERTURE
TO ETERNITY.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
NO ONE ELSE KNEW.
I WAS THE ONLY ONE.
I WILL TRY TO WORK HARDER.
I WILL TRY, I WILL TRY.
OH, KURT.
KURT.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
YES.
NO ONE ELSE
COULD HAVE KNOWN
THE COMBINATION...
OR THE MESSAGE.
I WAS THE ONLY ONE
WHO KNEW.
FOUR...SEVEN...
BACK 19.
OPEN THE BOX QUICKLY,
PLEASE.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
"DEATH, NOT LIFE,
"IS THE OVERTURE
TO ETERNITY.
KURT."
THANK YOU, MR. POLYAK.
AND THANK YOU,
DEAR, DEAR KURT.
THERE IS LIFE AFTER DEATH.
[ BUZZING ]
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
WERE YOU IMPRESSED
BY WHAT YOU WITNESSED?
VERY.
AND YOU, MR. COLLIER?
VERY IMPRESSED.
I WAS GREATLY MOVED.
IT SEEMS TO ME
THERE IS NO DOUBT
THERE IS A SPIRIT
IN THIS HOUSE.
MARTHA, I WILL SEE YOU
TO YOUR ROOM.
Martha: GOOD NIGHT.
Barney: GOOD NIGHT.
[ THUNDER RUMBLES ]
WHAT ABOUT THAT BOX?
THE BOX COULDN'T HAVE BEEN
TAMPERED WITH.
THE RUST ON THE HINGES
WAS REAL.
YOU SAW THE PAPER --
YELLOW WITH AGE.
AND THE SEALS ON THE ENVELOPE
HAVE NOT BEEN TOUCHED.
ARIANA, HE WAS GOOD,
BUT WASN'T HIS VOICE
A LITTLE OBVIOUS?
PERHAPS.
PERHAPS? COME ON.
LEVEL WITH US, ARIANA.
THAT WAS NONSENSE.
PERHAPS.
I'LL TRY TO CONCENTRATE.
KURT WANTS YOUR WORK
TO GO WELL
AND TO BE COMPLETED.
[ ALARM BUZZES ]
[ DOG BARKING ]
[ GROWLING ]
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
[ HOWLS ]
COULD HE BE ANGRY
WITH ME?
POSSIBLY.
EVERYTHING
ISN'T SUPERNATURAL.
IT WAS VIBRATION
FROM THE THUNDERSTORM.
THE WHOLE HOUSE SHOOK.
BARNEY, MAYBE MR. POLYAK
IS RIGHT.
YOU CLAIM TO BE
OBJECTIVE, MR. HAND.
YOU KNOW YOU
DON'T REALLY BELIEVE THAT.
AND WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?
I AM A MEDIUM. I FEEL IT.
YOU ARE NOT ORIENTED
TO BE A BELIEVER.
[ THUNDER RUMBLES ]
WHY DID YOU LET HER THINK
POLYAK IS RIGHT?
WELL, WE MUSTN'T LET HER
FEEL WE SUSPECT POLYAK
IF WE'RE
GOING TO EXPOSE HIM.
WELL, ARE YOU SURE
YOU CAN?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WELL, THERE'S NO NEED
TO LIE ABOUT IT.
I TOLD HIM THE TRUTH.
THERE IS A SPIRIT --
A GHOST, IF YOU PREFER --
IN THIS HOUSE.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE
JUST BEING TACTFUL.
I'M NEVER TACTFUL
ABOUT THE SUPERNATURAL.
WELL, THERE'S SOMETHING
YOU SHOULD KNOW.
YOU SEE, MADAME ZUBROVNIK
WANTS TO BELIEVE
THAT THE SPIRIT HERE
IS KIND AND LOVING.
BUT THE SPIRIT HERE
ISN'T KIND AND LOVING.
UNFORTUNATELY,
IT'S QUITE MALEVOLENT.
YOU SEE, SPIRITS
DON'T USUALLY MOVE ABOUT.
THEY GENERALLY REMAIN
NEAR THE PLACE
WHERE THE DEATH OCCURRED,
AND THAT'S WHERE YOU'LL
FIND THE TRUTH, NOT HERE.
AND ZUBROVNIK
WAS BURNED TO DEATH
IN HIS LABORATORY.
[ THUNDER RUMBLING ]
[ BUZZING ]
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
KILL THE LIGHT.
WE'LL USE THE BURNER.
YOU WANT US TO HOLD HANDS
OR SOMETHING?
NO, NO, NO.
I WANT YOU TO SIT QUIET
AND TRY TO HELP ME.
[ THUNDER RUMBLES ]
MY CONTROL IS A YOUNG GIRL
OF 16, FRANCES,
WHO DIED IN 1900.
FRANCES.
FRANCES?
CAN YOU HEAR ME?
THIS IS ARIANA.
I AM FAR FROM HOME...
BUT I KNOW
THAT YOU CAN HEAR ME.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
FRANCES!
PLEASE.
HEAR ME...
AND TALK TO ME.
WE ARE ANXIOUS.
WE ARE SO ANXIOUS...
TO TALK TO YOU.
FRANCES.
Frances: [ Whispering ]
Ariana...
I...hear...you.
FRANCES.
FRANCES...
THERE WAS A FIRE HERE
A YEAR AGO,
AND A MAN WAS BURNED.
[ FRANCES GASPING ]
YES!
FRANCES.
FRANCES, CAN YOU HEAR ME?
FRANCES!
FRANCES, PLEASE COME BACK
AND TALK TO US.
YOU WERE HERE A MOMENT AGO.
Frances: AAAHHHH!
I...AM...HERE.
FRANCES!
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
THERE IS DEATH...
AND AGONY
AND TORMENT CLOSE TO YOU.
I DON'T LIKE
TO TALK ABOUT IT.
IT...HAS AN...
UNQUENCHABLE POWER.
IT HATES. IT HATES!
IT CANNOT BE CONTROLLED...
AND IT WILL KILL!
OH.
THAT WAS THE SPIRIT
OF THE FIRE...
BUT IT'S
NOT THE ONE WE EXPECTED.
IT'S ANOTHER SPIRIT.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
[ BUZZING ]
OH.
ARIANA,
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
YES.
THE SPIRIT OF THE MAN
WHO DIED IN THE FIRE --
THAT WAS NOT THE SPIRIT
OF KURT ZUBROVNIK.
THAT'S IT.
KURT ZUBROVNIK IS ALIVE.
I DON'T KNOW HOW I KNOW.
MY SUBCONSCIOUS KNOWS,
AND THAT'S HOW IT TELLS ME.
YOU MEAN YOU CAME
TO THE CONCLUSION
THAT KURT IS ALIVE
ON THE BASIS OF HER SEANCE?
NO, I DON'T KNOW
HOW SHE CAME
TO THAT CONCLUSION,
BUT IT'S LOGICAL.
NOW, LOOK.
THE COMBINATION OF THE LOCK,
THE CONTENTS OF THE LETTER.
NOW, LOOK.
WE BOTH KNOW THAT BOX
WAS NOT TAMPERED WITH.
NEITHER WAS THE LETTER.
SO KURT IS ALIVE.
THEY'RE GETTING INFORMATION
FROM HIM.
THEY'RE EVEN TORTURING HIM,
POSSIBLY.
IF KURT IS ALIVE,
WHAT WAS THAT?
THAT WAS THE SPIRIT
OF THE MAN WHO REALLY DIED.
IT'S QUITE POSSIBLE
THAT THEY COULD HAVE BURNED
SOMEONE ELSE.
THEY KNEW OF KURT'S INTEREST
IN SPIRITUALISM
THROUGH POLYAK,
SO THEY FAKED HIS DEATH
IN ORDER TO GET CONTROL
OF MARTHA'S RESEARCH.
NOW ALL WE HAVE TO DO
IS...IS FIND KURT.
WHEN I PUT THE LUGGAGE
IN THE STOREROOM,
I SAW A TRUNK IN THERE
THAT BELONGS TO POLYAK.
LET'S GET A LOOK AT IT.
NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.
WHAT ABOUT MARTHA?
SUPPOSE SHE'S NOT
ON THE UP-AND-UP.
SUPPOSE SHE'S FAKING
THIS WHOLE THING TO DEFECT.
IT'S TOO ELABORATE.
SHE WOULDN'T GO
TO ALL THAT TROUBLE.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK
AT THE TRUNK.
MAYBE THERE'S A CLUE
AS TO WHERE KURT IS HIDDEN.
ALL RIGHT. ARIANA?
NO, YOU LEAVE ME ALONE
IN HERE.
YOU TRY YOUR WAY,
AND I'LL TRY MINE.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
THAT'S IT.
[ CLICK ]
YOU GOT IT.
THAT WASN'T ME.
IT'S BOLTED.
GET THE WINDOW.
CAN WE GET OUT THE WINDOW?
WE'RE TOO HIGH TO JUMP.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
GIVE ME A HAND.
GET THAT ELECTRIC HEATER
OVER THERE
AND RIP THE CORD
OFF OF IT.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
OH!
HOW DID YOU
GET IN HERE, MADAME?
THE DOOR WAS OPEN.
ARE YOU IN THE HABIT
OF ENTERING
EVERY OPEN DOOR?
WELL, ISN'T THIS
WHERE THE FIRE STARTED?
WHY DOES THAT CONCERN YOU?
WELL, I'M INTERESTED
IN THE CIRCUMSTANCES
OF THE DEATH.
[ COUGHING ]
[ HUMMING ]
I THINK THE MAGNET
IS GOING TO WORK.
[ GRUNTS ]
ALMOST HAD IT.
GOOD BOY.
GET THE TRUNK.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
WE WERE ONLY DISCUSSING
THE SUPERNATURAL.
NOW, WHY SHOULD THAT
UPSET YOU?
I SHOULD PREFER
NOT TO CONTINUE
THIS DISCUSSION.
KROGER.
I WANT A WORD WITH YOU.
AND I WITH YOU.
[ FOOTSTEPS ]
HOW ARE YOU BOYS DOING?
DID YOU FIND ANYTHING?
NOT WHAT WE WERE
LOOKING FOR.
HOW ABOUT YOU?
I HAD A VISION
OF KURT ZUBROVNIK, OF STREETS,
A SMALL COMMUNITY
NOT FAR FROM HERE,
AND THE BUTCHERING
OF LAMBS AND CATTLE.
THE TOWN
WE DROVE THROUGH.
MAYBE.
THAT'S AS GOOD A GUESS
AS ANY.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
GENTLEMEN.
GOOD EVENING,
MR. POLYAK.
SOMEBODY HAS TRIPPED
THIS CAMERA BY HAND.
MY APOLOGIES.
I ACCIDENTALLY MOVED
THE LEVER.
LET'S SEE IF YOU CAUGHT
ANYTHING.
THAT LOOKS
LIKE THE WAY OUT.
[ WHIMPERING ]
COME ON, ARIANA.
WAIT A SECOND.
TRYING TO FIND
KURT ZUBROVNIK
WAS A GOOD IDEA
10 MINUTES AGO.
[ DOG WHIMPERING ]
KURT ZUBROVNIK IS DEAD.
WHAT'S THAT BLUR
IN THE CORNER?
IT'S A BEE.
[ BUZZING ]
THERE'S NO POINT
IN GOING ON. HE'S DEAD.
THEY'LL MOVE THE BODY
IMMEDIATELY.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS?
HOW DID HE DIE?
I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT.
ALL I KNOW IS WHAT I KNOW,
WHAT I FEEL.
ARE YOU SURE
ABOUT WHAT YOU FEEL?
ALL I KNOW IS WHAT I FEEL,
NOT WHAT I THINK.
[ DOG WHIMPERS ]
[ RINGING ]
HELLO?
YES, THIS IS HE.
YES.
KROGER.
WHAT HAPPENED?
I THINK KURT IS DEAD.
IF POLYAK'S SOURCE
OF INFORMATION IS GONE,
AND HE LOSES CONTROL
OVER MARTHA,
HE COULD MAKE
A SUDDEN MOVE.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
I'M SO SORRY, BUT WE
HAVE TO LEAVE TOMORROW.
FORGIVE ME FOR BRINGING YOU
SUCH A GREAT DISTANCE
FOR SO BRIEF A VISIT.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
I MUST COMPLETE MY WORK.
AWAY FROM THIS PLACE,
DR. ZUBROVNIK
WILL BE ABLE TO CONCENTRATE.
I'M AFRAID YOU'LL HAVE TO
PREPARE TO LEAVE AS WELL.
IF SHE LEAVES WITH POLYAK,
WE'RE FINISHED.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
[ SLAM ]
Kroger: POLYAK,
THE DOOR IS LOCKED!
AHH!
[ GLASS BREAKS ]
KROGER!
WHAT IS IT?
KROGER!
[ THUNDER RUMBLING ]
HE'S DEAD.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
OUR ONLY CHANCE
IS TO HAVE ANOTHER SEANCE
BEFORE THEY GET AWAY.
BARNEY, HOW LONG
WILL IT TAKE YOU
TO RIG UP THE PROJECTOR
IN THE LIVING ROOM?
TWENTY TO TWENTY-FIVE
MINUTES AT THE MOST.
ARIANA, I WANT YOU
TO GET MARTHA TO AGREE
TO ANOTHER SEANCE TONIGHT,
IN HALF AN HOUR.
AT THIS SEANCE, I WANT YOU
TO GO INTO A TRANCE.
HAVE THE GHOST
OF KURT ZUBROVNIK
ACCUSE POLYAK
OF BEING A MURDERER,
AND HAVING HELD HIM
PRISONER.
OH, ROLLIN, I CAN'T.
I'M SORRY.
THE ONLY WAY
TO BREAK A MAN LIKE THIS
IS TO HAVE HIM
TRAP HIMSELF.
YOU MUSTN'T ASK ME
TO DO THIS.
YOU KNOW
WHAT I TOLD BRIGGS.
I DON'T LIKE BEING DISHONEST
ABOUT THE SUPERNATURAL.
BARNEY, WE'RE ON OUR OWN.
BETTER GET STARTED.
ARIANA, CAN YOU
AT LEAST STALL MARTHA
FOR HALF AN HOUR WHILE
WE'RE IN THE LIVING ROOM?
OH, DON'T BE ANGRY
WITH ME.
ALL RIGHT. I'LL TRY
TO ARRANGE ANOTHER SEANCE.
BUT THE REST IS UP TO YOU.
Martha:
YES? WHO IS IT?
IT'S ARIANA.
I KNOW HOW TIRED
YOU MUST BE,
BUT I'D LIKE
TO TALK TO YOU.
COME IN.
WHAT IS IT?
WELL, MADAME, I WAS
HOPING TO PERSUADE YOU
TO PUT YOUR TRIP OFF
FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS.
WE'VE BEEN SO IMPRESSED
BY WHAT'S HAPPENED HERE,
WE'D REALLY LIKE
TO DOCUMENT IT.
I THINK THAT YOU'VE GOT
ENOUGH ALREADY.
I MUST GET AWAY FROM HERE
AND CONCENTRATE
AND COMPLETE MY WORK.
THAT'S WHAT KURT WANTS.
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
MARTHA,
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
MARTHA,
MAY I COME INSIDE?
YES. COME IN.
I, UM...WAS HOPING
TO PERSUADE DR. ZUBROVNIK
TO DELAY HER TRIP
FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS.
WERE YOU?
WE CANNOT DELAY
OUR DEPARTURE
JUST FOR PSYCHIC RESEARCH.
BUT I FEEL HER HUSBAND'S
PRESENCE VERY CLOSE TO ME.
YOU FEEL HIM?
YES. LIKE YOU, I'M A MEDIUM,
AND I FEEL I CAN REACH HIM.
A MEDIUM?
IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL
IF HE COULD COME TO ME
THROUGH SOMEONE ELSE
AS WELL.
THERE WILL BE NO ONE ELSE.
WELL, THEN,
PERHAPS MADAME ZUBROVNIK
AND I ALONE COULD --
NO!
YOU MUSTN'T
DENY HIM TO ME.
HE MAY HAVE SOMETHING
IMPORTANT TO SAY TO ME.
PLEASE BRING HIM TO ME,
EITHER OF YOU.
VERY WELL, BUT WE
MUST DO IT IMMEDIATELY.
I'LL CHANGE AT ONCE.
OKAY, TRY IT.
PERFECT.
[ DOOR OPENS ]
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
ANOTHER SEANCE.
OH, REALLY? WONDERFUL.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
IT ALWAYS HAPPENS
WHEN THERE'S A STORM.
WELL, LET'S WAIT, THEN.
NO, NO. THERE ISN'T TIME.
SIT DOWN.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
PLEASE SIT DOWN.
DUDOIR, THESE ARE MOMENTS
OF ANXIETY.
MARTHA ZUBROVNIK FEELS,
AND SOME OTHERS OF US FEEL,
THAT THE SPIRIT
OF HER HUSBAND IS NEAR,
URGENTLY DEMANDING
AUDIENCE.
DUDOIR...
IS...KURT...DISTURBED?
IS...HE...NEAR YOU?
Dudoir: YES.
HE IS NEAR ME.
HE IS IMPATIENT.
THERE ARE STILL STRANGERS
WITH YOU.
THEY ANNOY HIM.
HIS WIFE
MUST FINISH HER WORK.
WHEN SHE ARRIVES,
KURT WILL COME TO HER
HIMSELF.
HE IS PROUD OF HER
AND OF HER WORK,
BUT HE DOES NOT WANT
TO SPEAK TO HER AGAIN
UNTIL SHE HAS ARRIVED
AT HER DESTINATION.
Man: MARTHA!
MARTHA!
I...
I WILL SPEAK TO YOU.
MARTHA!
MARTHA...IT IS I.
IT IS KURT.
IT IS I...
WHAT IS THIS INTERFERENCE?
BREAKING THE LAWS
OF INFINITY
TO COME TO YOU.
MARTHA,
THIS IS TRICKERY.
NO.
NO, I'M SURE
IT'S KURT'S VOICE.
I KNOW IT.
Kurt: MARTHA...MARTHA.
I AM WITH YOU.
I DO LOVE YOU.
HOW CAN THIS BE
KURT'S VOICE
COMING FROM THIS WOMAN?
SHE DOES NOT HAVE
A CONTROL.
Kurt:
DO NOT BE AFRAID.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE ANGRY
WITH ME.
I AM NOT ANGRY WITH YOU.
IT IS ANOTHER MAN
WHO WAS ANGRY.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
MARTHA, WHAT YOU
ARE HEARING IS FAKERY.
[ COUGHING ]
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
WHAT MAN IS ANGRY?
Kurt: IT IS A SIMPLE MAN
WHO WAS MURDERED.
[ COUGHING ]
HE WAS A BEEKEEPER.
IT WAS HE, THE BEEKEEPER,
WHO WAS ANGRY.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.
THE DAMPER IS OPEN.
[ COUGHING ]
MR. POLYAK?
WHAT'S HAPPENING?
[ THUNDER CRASHING ]
[ COUGHING ]
[ THUNDER CRASHING ]
[ COUGHING ]
[ COUGHING CONTINUES ]
[ SIGHS ]
[ BUZZING ]
[ THUNDER RUMBLING ]
OHH!
AHH!
Polyak: OHH!
MR. POLYAK?
WHAT'S WRONG
WITH THE BOLT?
I CAN'T BUDGE IT.
IT'S STUCK.
AHH!
IS THAT BEES?
MR. POLYAK?
[ BUZZING ]
[ THUNDER CRASHING ]
THANK YOU.
YES.
WE WISH YOU WOULD
CHANGE YOUR MIND.
I DON'T THINK I WILL.
I WANT TO STAY HERE,
WHERE KURT IS.
AND I'LL WORK WELL,
NOW THAT I KNOW THE TRUTH.
WE NEED YOU,
AND WE'LL MISS YOU.
THANK YOU, MR. HAND.
I'LL START SENDING
THE REPORTS AGAIN.
GOOD.
GOODBYE.
GOODBYE, MR. COLLIER.
GOODBYE.
GOODBYE, AND THANK YOU.
GOODBYE.
THANK YOU.
ARIANA...HOW DID YOU KNOW
ABOUT THAT BEEKEEPER?
I SAW BEES.
IT WAS A HUNCH.
ARIANA, I'LL NEVER
DOUBT YOU AGAIN...
OUT LOUD.
AND YOU, ROLLIN?
WELL, I DON'T KNOW.
YOU DON'T KNOW.
[ SIGHS ]
THEN I GAVE
MY GREATEST PERFORMANCE.
[ BUZZING ]
