Original subtitles

"In this book, I collected all the prophecies of Eibon,

"handed down over more than 4,000 years."

You ungodly warlock!

Because of you, this hotel and this town will be cursed forever.

"The seven dreaded gateways are concealed in seven cursed places.

"Woe be unto him who ventures near without knowledge."

Be careful what you do,

because this hotel was built over one of the seven doors of evil,

and only I can save you.

"Woe be unto him who opens one of the seven gateways to Hell,

"because through that gateway evil will invade the world."

THE BEYOND

I told you Martin. We can't. All I inherited was the hotel.

It would be a pity not to. Let me finish the plans.

- No! Forget it! - I won't even charge you for it.

Look really, it's not the case.

I just want to clean up the outside walls a bit, and maybe inside.

Then, if business starts booming, we'll see.

Better now. Wait four or six months and you're going to lay out.

You can't imagine the effect that double digit inflation is having.

Hi, Larry! How's it going?

We'll have this whole wall finished by tonight!

- Great! - Bye!

The outside is OK. Good old 18003 Louisiana.

But the interior, hotels just aren't...

The eyes!

The eyes! Her eyes!

Arthur! Where's that doctor?

He's on his way.

This man needs to get to a hospital! Have you got any water?

I'm sorry, but we have no water and the phone lines are faulty.

Then we'd better move him right now. Give me a hand, take the legs!

Come on. Gently!

Who can I call to ask about him?

Call the hospital and ask for me. I'm Dr McCabe.

What a bad start.

Let's just hope there isn't any lasting damage.

I sure would like to know how a man can fall off a scaffolding six feet wide.

Liza! Hey! Look at this picture!

I wasn't aware that you'd already scored a client.

Client? There isn't a soul here.

- I guess it must have been Arthur. - Yeah.

- Hey! Is anybody home? - Just a minute, coming!

Good morning! Are you the plumber?

- Joe, right? - Yes, ma'am.

- What's the trouble? - I'm afraid I can't tell you.

Nothing comes out of the faucets, yet the basement is flooded.

- Well, let's take a look! - OK, follow me.

This way!

Watch out! The stairs are real slippery.

Well, here it is. How long do you think it'll take?

It'll take as long as it takes.

Martha!

I made this little pathway to the far end, just for Joe.

Thank you, Martha.

Well, I'll go and take a look.

- Where's Arthur? - He's upstairs, tidying up the rooms.

We're doing our best to help, Miss Meryl.

Thank you.

Listen, I'll be going to town later.

Would you make me a list of all the things we need?

Yes. Don't worry.

Arthur! What are you doing in my room?

I was looking for keys.

Which keys?

I told Mother I was going to clean up the rooms

but some of them are locked.

Well, I'll just have to find those keys, Arthur, won't I?

Or else we'll simply call in the locksmith.

In the meantime, could you go up on the roof and check the chimney?

I think it's clogged.

I heard a car drive up before. Was it Joe?

Yeah. Why?

You are Liza, aren't you?

Yes.

My name is Emily. I've been looking for you.

Joe?

Arthur?

I don't understand, Emily. How do you know the way?

I know the way by heart. And there's always Dicky here.

Come, Liza. I'll show you the way.

Oh!

Joe!

Emily, why did you say I must give up the hotel?

I can't explain it to you. Just take my word for it.

Go back to where you came from.

Hurry, leave this place!

- I'm off now. - He's in amazingly good shape

for a corpse that's supposed to have been dead years.

Open him up and see what he had for breakfast.

How about we give it a try with...?

You want to wire this old guy into your brainwave machine?

- Why not? - OK.

But you're on your own with this one.

I warn you though, when I get back I'm going to give him an autopsy.

It's the fourth time...

There are no seats left.

I'll go with Tom.

- Hi, McCabe. - Hi, James.

Shall we meet up afterwards?

- Harris here. - Emergency in room 24!

I'm on my way, honey.

Wait here for me, Jill. I'll go see Dad.

Mummy!

Mummy!

So, what did you do in New York?

Just about everything a girl could do without losing her reputation.

Modelling, designer, secretary.

I almost become an unsuccessful designer,

then the letter arrived announcing the inheritance.

Big surprise, huh?

More or less.

I knew I had a rich uncle who was a bachelor, with a lot of real estate.

But I never imagined from one day to the next that I'd be... running a hotel.

Tell me, with all those accidents, you know, Joe the plumber...

Do you think you'll give it up now?

It'd be the most obvious choice, yes.

And the wisest one too.

If I found a buyer.

But I think I'll stay.

I tell you what, when you get the hotel fixed up,

I'll come and stay there, OK? So you can book me a room now.

Sure, you got it. The best in the house.

Of course. How long do you think it'll be before it's ready?

I don't know, it's dragging on so much.

Arthur and Martha are more of a hindrance than a help.

They just can't seem to get it together.

Well, if you hired them, you can fire them.

But I can't fire them. They came with the hotel.

Strange, I've never heard of them.

Dr McCabe!

Dr McCabe, you're wanted on the phone. It's the hospital.

Thank you. Excuse me.

Yes?

Harris, hi!

What?

As we commit the souls of Joe and Mary-Ann

to our Father in Heaven, we pray together.

Oh Merciful Lord, watch over Jill, their daughter.

Joe and Mary-Ann's untimely departure

has left alone in this world a helpless child.

Comfort her and guide her and give her strength.

We ask this, oh Lord, in the name of the Father,

the Son and the Holy Ghost. Amen.

Liza!

Emily?

Why didn't you listen to me, Liza?

We blind see things more clearly.

I wanted to spare you, but I'll have to tell you everything.

50 years ago, everybody in this hotel disappeared.

A painter called Spike who lived here,

closeted in his room, found the key.

What key?

The seven gateways to Hell.

This house was constructed on one of the...

- Who else is here? - There's nobody here.

I can feel the presence, somebody else is in here.

- No, Emily. Nobody's here. - Yes, it's him.

He's here again.

He's come back to the hotel.

I can hear him breathe.

Get a hold of yourself, Emily, please!

- What is this? - That? Just an old painting.

There's the bell!

That's the be" from room 36.

That's where he was killed, in his room.

36 was Spike's room. The man who found the key.

He's returned, Liza. Don't ever enter that room.

Now look Emily, I've lived in New York all my life.

And if there's one thing I've learnt not to believe in, it's ghosts.

I was lucky to inherit this hotel, the first good break I've had.

It'll take more than a faulty electrical contact

or some crazy story to make me give it up.

Emily! Emily! Wait!

Liza!

John!

But I saw him, there, nailed to the wall.

I saw him there.

See those nails?

Well, they certainly look old! But this looks more like rust than blood.

Now it seems so impossible, so absurd.

Yet... I don't know.

Now look, tell me exactly what you saw.

Never mind, it's useless.

I guess Ijust have a pretty wild imagination.

I got carried away by that story that Emily told me about room 36.

Emily? Who's Emily?

The blind girl that lives in the old house by the crossroads.

There's no blind girl living there, and I know everyone around here.

The book that was on the desk, it's gone!

I can open two walls and lengthen the basement.

You'd have room for a kitchen. Maybe even for a laundry.

What do you think of that?

Martin! I've already told you.

Do what you want as long as it doesn't cost too much.

- I have carte blanche? - Yes.

Well, the first thing we do is bring someone in to pump out all the water.

That I can get done real cheap.

Have you got the original plans of the cellar by any chance?

There was another book here, a different one.

You want to buy the book?

Not this one. The one that was here, just a second ago.

That book has been there for two years. No-one wants to buy it.

It's very nice though, very, very interesting.

Liza! What's wrong? What's with the book?

I was just looking for...

Is anything the matter? You look sick.

It's nothing, I'm just a little tired. I think I'm beginning to see things.

I'll have to go to the town hall to dig out the originals from the files.

Re-open that hotel?

All the turn of the century building plans are on those upper shelves.

They should be under what the card says, M13012.

Well, let's get them down and look at them.

You haven't heard about our town employees' latest labour victory?

Took a three week strike to win!

Yeah, it was something about lunch.

Yes, lunch has been moved to 12:00. I really can't stay now.

I'm sure you'll be OK on your own.

- Have a happy lunch! - Thank you!

Take your time, I'll be gone an hour or so.

I'll look the door so you won 't be disturbed!

First from 1:00 to 2:00, now from 12:00 to 1:00,

three weeks of picketing, a great labour victory.

Now then, M13012.

Mandeville.

Hotel...

Hotel... Seven Doors.

What the...?

"The seven dreaded gateways to Hell

"are concealed in seven cursed places."

Good boy, Dicky. Good boy!

Good boy.

Who's there?

Who's there?

Answer me! I know you're there!

Where are you? Who are you?

I know it's you, I can sense it!

What do you want from me now?

What is it, Spike?

What do you want from me?

Spike! Go away!

I don't want to go back.

You can't take me.

Stop tormenting me!

Don't come any closer!

Go away, leave me in peace.

Go away, don't touch me!

You can't take me back!

I did what I was asked.

Now leave me alone!

Go away! Away! No!

I never spoke, you can't condemn me!

I don't want to go back!

Attack, Dicky! Attack!

Dicky! Don't let them get near me! Attack! Chase them away!

Dicky, attack! Get rid of them, Dicky! Attack!

Send them away! Defend me, Dicky!

Good boy, Dicky. You made them go away.

Arthur? Martha?

Liza! Stop it, come on! Come on, it's me! You're OK!

Come, calm down. Come on, sit down here.

Arthur... in the basement... he tried to kill me!

Liza, stop it! I'm sick of hearing all these stories!

What stories?

Like the first one about the man nailed to the wall in room 36,

and the blind girl that doesn't exist!

Emily's real! She does exist! I saw her, I spoke to her.

She lives in the old house by the crossroads?

Yes!

That house has been abandoned for the last 50 years.

But that's not true, it's not possible.

I was there, I mean I went there.

Yes, I knew you were there, I found a book you left for me to read.

- You found the book? - And I read it!

- What did it say? - Show me where you saw Arthur!

Here!

- And he tried to kill you? - Please, John... you must believe me!

- So where's Arthur now? - I don't know!

He attacked me! I was trying to break free!

He was here! The cuts on my...

There are none.

I must be going crazy.

Perhaps, or else...

...who are you, Liza?

Who are you really?

But John! I don't understand you. What a question, why do you ask?

According to the book of Eibon,

this hotel is one of the seven gateways of Hell!

And you will face the sea of darkness,

and all therein that may be explored.

Endure...

Martha...

Strange, there isn't a soul in sight!

Well, we'll be at the hospital pretty soon.

I want to talk to Harris.

Where is everybody?

Let's try upstairs.

But John, I...

No, Liza. I'm a doctor. I won't accept irrational explanations.

I want to talk to Harris, I'm going to call the FBI.

John!

The elevator, go!

Jill!

Harris! What the hell's going on round here?

I don't know. I think I'm going crazy!

Here they come!

Jill was in the lab.

The basement!

What's happening? Why are we here?

Come on!

John!

John!

Liza!

And you will face the sea of darkness,

and all therein that may be explored.
