Original subtitles

Not just a fire axe, one of the great fire axes of all time.

Look at this. It's from the 1890s.

Given to me by the boys at the station for pulling that kid out of the burning

car on PCH.

Oh, that's cool.

A little inscription there?

Yeah, you got to have a little plaque and everything.

Let's see.

Where is an honorable place in my famous fire axe?

Would you do me a favor? There's a hammer and a bunch of nails and a little

cigar box at the top left door.

Grab that, huh?

Are you all right? Yeah.

Here.

Oh, man.

That's a heavy fire.

Let me see.

Let me see.

Let me see.

Mitt? Ryan?

What happened?

He bumped his head.

Oh.

Terrific. Another headache.

What are you doing here?

Actually, I want to talk to you about things that go bump in the night.

Do you believe in ghosts?

No, no, but they scare me.

I want you to meet me here.

Someplace I want to show you.

What is it, a haunted house?

Yes and no.

Why, I... Every ghost hunt needs a skeptic.

By the way, don't go in till I get there.

Okay,

Mr. Skeptic, the dictionary definition of a ghost.

It's the soul of a dead person, a disembodied spirit imagined as wandering

death. Oh, wait, listen to this.

One of the earliest recorded hauntings was caused by the ghost of a traitorous

warden named Pausanias, who was starved to death in Athena in 500 B .C.

His ghost was finally exorcised by a necromancer. Sounds dirty.

What is it?

Very funny.

A necromancer is a person who invokes the dead.

But you know what? I mean, once we get past this desperate, dangerous

connotation of ghosts, they really just don't sound that scary to me.

Are you sure this is the place?

Let me check.

Yep.

This can't be it.

Why not? What's wrong with it?

Well, it's just not what you think of when someone says haunted.

Haunted? When I think of haunted, I think of Aunt Tilly kicking off and

around long enough to make sure that Uncle John doesn't hook up with some

floozy.

That's one definition.

What time is it?

10 .03.

Teague said he'd be here at 10 .30?

Yeah, he said we should wait for him.

Did he give you a key? Yes, he gave me a key, but he said we should wait.

All right, well, I am participating in this weekend because I'm a scientist.

unlike you, I believe in the paranormal.

But I do not believe in standing out here like a little puppy because

control freak.

But if you want to stay out here because you're afraid...

Weight fatigue.

I understand. Oh, what? Is this some kind of challenge, right? Well, no. I

why would I challenge you? Because competition is your middle name, and

subconsciously you're attracted to me, and it's a way of getting my attention.

Yeah. Okay.

We need to put the groceries in the fridge.

We do?

Yes.

You know, so your carrot sticks don't boil.

Oh, I see you brought your help chip.

You should watch your first step. It probably creaks.

Oh, you do know your haunted houses.

Feel that? Get in there.

Whoa, some haunted house.

Give me a break. Looks like a little house on the prairie.

You know, I never realized how judgmental you are. Me?

Judgmental? It's the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard.

No, it's not.

You haven't even given this place a chance.

You walk in, you take a look around.

Oh, this place can't be haunted.

And you completely dismiss it.

And why?

Because it doesn't fit your preconception.

Now go ahead and tell me that's not judgmental. All right.

All right.

I will open my mind and give this yuppie retreat a chance.

Ryan, while I'm opening my mind, would you do me a favor?

Open up a cupboard, see if you can find a hammer.

These windows are all stuck.

And I'm going to bang them loose.

Ryan, are you listening to me?

Okay, okay, I'm listening.

Hang on.

I got a window.

We have company.

Hey, Ryan.

I'm going to take a look at this.

I open the closet and there's this huge hallway under the stairs.

It's bigger than the whole cabin.

Oh, my darling.

Oh, excuse me. Oh, my darling. No, no, no. Come on back here. Come on back.

Don't be shy.

We don't get many like you around these parts.

Come on in, honey.

I'm sorry. I didn't know that there was anyone else in the cabin.

You're right. But all right.

Sarah!

Quick.

Get your clothes off and get in his tub right now. What?

Take off your clothes and get in the tub. If he sees you like this, he's

to kill you.

That is a very interesting offer, but... No! Oh, God.

Ryan, I think you should see this. We have company.

I want to kill you and everyone like you.

Oh, yeah, we definitely have company.

for the bubble.

You seen her?

You know, I was just on my way out.

This is the last time you cheat, mister.

Nights will never be the same.

Miss, did you hear me?

Sir,

you are the horse!

Mitch, you want something to drink?

I, uh... What?

I'm lost in this maze. These doors have got me running in some sort of circle.

What did you say?

Where are you?

It's too warm.

Ryan, can you hear me?

Mitch, what's going on?

Mitch? Oh, what, are you getting me back because I didn't wait outside like a

good little girl?

Mitch, are you in the bathroom?

I don't exactly know.

I do know I'm not in Kansas anymore.

I'm in some hallway.

It's very narrow and warm.

A hallway? What hallway?

How did you get there?

From the door opposite the front door.

That's where I am. There's no hallway here.

Wait a minute.

It's like a whole series of hallways, a bunch of doors, like they all

interconnect.

Ryan?

Just found another bedroom.

Ryan!

Tell me what you see.

Um, there's a bed with a noose hanging over a wooden beam.

It's not real.

How do you know?

None of it's real. It's just a bunch of ghosts and illusions.

It's maybe something with a light, maybe some molecular imaging. But trust me,

Mitch, it is not real, okay?

I, uh, I think you're going to need a new theory.

All right, I'm going to go to the truck and call Teague for help.

Right on.

No. I can hear.

Are you sassing me?

Sassing?

Who are you?

You know me.

I've been coming here since you opened.

And when was that? I mean, um... What's the date, mister?

Don't you make me wait on you.

What year are you in?

I'm hungry, and I'm sore.

Now get your backside naked and come sit by me.

Naked?

Now why would I want to do that?

Because.

I got gold, though.

You know what?

I don't think you're real.

You make me angry, little girl.

No. I think you're just a spirit. Don't you make me angry!

Ryan, are you okay?

Yeah.

I can't get out of the cabin.

Looks to me like you're just about ready.

Ready? Came here for a good time.

And I am just the one to show it to you.

No, I really don't want a good time. Oh, don't be shy now, darling.

You're about the cutest man I've seen since that Bushman of Abilene.

Oh, you got yourself a boo -boo?

I'm going to kiss it and make it better. No.

Daughter of Jezebel!

Take off your clothes and get in the tub right now.

Great to be back.

Take off your clothes and get in the tub. If he sees you like this, he's

to kill you.

No, he already tried.

Nice to see you.

You know what I mean.

Don't tell me. You want me to take off my clothes and get in the tub?

Sarah! Quick.

Get your clothes off and get in his tub right now.

If he finds you like this, he's going to kill you. Now take your clothes off and

get in the tub.

Um, I'll be back.

I think.

Sarah!

Quick. Get your clothes off and get in his tub right now.

Didn't we just go through the... Take off your clothes and get in the tub. If

sees you like this, he's going to kill you. I know, I know. He'll kill me. Take

your clothes off and get in the tub.

Maybe next time.

No. Oh, God.

Ryan, I can't get away. There's a crazy man with a knife. He's trying to kill

me.

There you are.

Where is she?

You're still in the tub.

Naked?

Yeah. This is the last time you're cheating, mister. No, no, no, no. I

do that. I mean, you already nicked me.

Ryan, can you hear me?

Barely. You sound different. Where are you?

I don't know. I don't know. I'm in some kind of smoke.

It's hard to tell. I'm not in the cabin.

Well, if you're not in the cabin, then where are you?

It's hard to tell. I mean, I came through a door.

I'm in some kind of fog now.

And there's a... There's a breeze.

Like I'm outside.

What do you mean you're outside?

There's no way you're outside. Tell me what you see.

Nothing. I can't see anything.

Wait a minute.

You hear that?

Hear what?

No, I don't hear anything.

That sounds like the surf.

The what?

Smith?

You're not going to believe this.

I'm at the beach.

What? The beach.

The beach.

The beach.

How did you get there?

I don't know.

There's no doors out here.

Strange thing is, everything looks normal. I mean, it's gorgeous.

There's a woman out here, Ryan, just like you.

Yeah. Just try and find your way back into the cabin, okay?

Yeah, I'm all right. I just don't know what's going on anymore.

Look for a door. I don't know. Look for anything.

Ryan, I see a lifeguard tower.

I'll get some help.

Open up. Go away.

I need to use the phone. Go away.

You don't understand.

I'm Mitch Buchanan. Please open up.

No, you're not.

I had to see if you were real.

Am I in your nightmare or are you in mine?

It's the same one.

I think it's... What are you saying, Ryan?

Ryan!

Ryan! Mitch, I don't understand you. Ryan! What's wrong with you? Ryan!

I'm back in the cabin.

Now it's your turn.

All corruptors must die.

I tried to leave, but the front door didn't go outside. It went to some

in an old brothel. You sound so close.

Yeah, so do you.

Okay, um, listen to my voice. I'm going to start counting. Tell me if I'm

getting hot or cold.

One, two, three.

Cold, cold.

Four, five, six.

Colder. Seven.

Right, it's cold.

Eight, nine.

Yeah, yeah, warm.

Ten.

Eleven.

Twelve. Hot.

Super hot.

Ryan, stop!

How can you not see it?

The door's right there in front of you.

Mitch.

Can't you see the door?

There is no door. I'm in the middle of the room.

I see it.

Mitch, I see the door!

It's 1045. What time do you have?

What difference does it make?

Let's just do it.

What's your watch?

Straight up.

12 o 'clock.

Where the hell is Tiki anyway?

Okay.

Mitch, I don't think we're just hours off.

I think we might be years off. A decade. Maybe a century.

What are you talking about? Some kind of time warp here?

What do you think of your yuppie cabin now?

Oh, I'll keep it.

We have to touch.

What? We have to touch. We have to make a physical connection.

What will that do?

Hopefully you'll put us on the same general axis.

Is this another one of your theories or are you sure?

Of course I'm not sure. Just do it. Put your hands on it.

I don't know how we got out.

You okay?

What happened?

Where's Ryan?

I don't know.

You went into the cabin.

Yeah.

Tig, we gotta find her.

That may not be possible.

Mitch.

Mitch, where are you?

Mitch, please don't leave me here.

The two of you exchange places.

Ryan remains inside.

Teague, it doesn't make any sense.

We were together.

The logic hasn't changed.

What is haunted about a house is the place, not the time.

Time is never constant, only a place.

Time is a continuum.

Teague, will you just save it and tell me how I can get Ryan out of there?

I don't know if I can.

Wait a minute.

I heard a voice before. I can't hear it now.

That's because the two of you are within the boundaries of the place, the cabin.

I can fix that.

Listen to me, Mitch.

Without the proper plan, you could make things worse.

One mistake, and you guarantee Ryan remains locked in there forever. You

something better.

Believe me, I'd love to. No, no. See, you don't understand.

He is going to kill you.

He's going to kill us all.

If you know that, then what are you doing sitting naked in a tub?

As long as I'm in here, I'm safe.

You know that for sure?

Well, no, but I know that if I get out, he'll definitely kill me.

Mitch,

please, can you hear me? Who are you calling?

If Horsey's a customer, he's just going to kill him.

Why?

Because of what happened with Sarah.

Sarah?

His wife.

She works here.

Did.

Oh, right. I get it.

His wife's a prostitute. He found out. Now he's peeved.

No, no. See, Horace knew because Horace brought her here.

Some story about needing money to save the farm.

Kind of a tough way to get it, isn't it?

I hear you talking.

Funny thing is, once Sarah had enough money to pay the mortgage, Sarah decided

she didn't want to quit.

See, she liked the work.

Made Horace crazy.

And he ended up killing just about everybody.

Great.

Ryan, can you hear me?

Mitch. Originally, this property was a brothel in the 1890s.

Very prosperous.

Then one weekend, a local farmer, Horace Calhoun, came in and killed just about

everybody inside.

Eleven girls and half a dozen customers.

I know. I met the guy.

How was he stopped?

Judith Kadar, an immigrant from Hungary, killed him and then hung herself.

Wow.

Ryan! We're inside! Can you hear me?

Yeah.

Yes, I can hear you. Um, I think I'm finding out what this is all about. I'm

with the lady in the tub.

But she's dead!

Uh, not at the moment, she's not.

All right, Ryan, listen to me.

Horace has killed them all, and he intends to kill again, and you're there.

You can do that, right? My arm's still cut. If your question is, does he have

the capability of killing Ryan, the answer is absolutely.

She's in his time.

Ryan, listen to me! Get out of there now!

ladies. Ryan, run!

Okay, look.

I'm not involved in any of this.

Then why would you be in the room?

Except for getting ready.

Um, no, no, no.

I'm here because I can't get out.

You're a heathen harlot.

Just like all others.

The land must be purified.

No, no.

You don't understand.

I'm trapped.

My sir used that excuse in the beginning.

She said she was trapped too.

Said she had no choice but to do this.

Sarah, um, that's your wife, right?

She was a very pretty lady, I bet. And I bet you loved her very, very much.

Once.

Well, um, why don't you tell me about it?

I'd really like to hear it.

Terrific. She's trying to reason with the ghost.

We shared a love once.

Which is why she came to me.

Said lots of the farmer's wives were doing to save the farm.

I said, I'll find another way.

But no.

He said, this is the only way.

And that's when she came to work here?

First just a Friday night, and then Saturday, and then Wednesday, and

then Thursday.

She was the prettiest of them all. Everybody said so.

When it came time.

She wouldn't quit.

And that must have been very painful for you.

You don't know the half of it.

Ryan! No, no. It might work.

Ryan!

She needs my help.

I'm going in. How?

Last time I went through this door.

Okay, but this time, there's one thing you must change.

When you find Ryan and you break back through, I will be your conduit. And we

don't just touch. We hold on for all we're worth.

Mitch, there won't be a second chance.

Not with the both of you on the other side.

I got it.

Ryan?

Past plant season.

Ryan?

Well, it is time for harvest.

Past winter snow.

Bad winter snow.

Deep in the spring.

She came home.

Less and less.

But she talked about it more and more.

That's why she had to die.

She started telling me exactly what was happening with each one.

Everything.

And that's why... Why they all had to die.

And why now... You got to die too.

No, wait, please.

Oh, my God, Mitch!

Mitch, please! Mitch! Where do you think you're going?

Ryan, are you okay?

That's got to be Judith Goddard. I want to kill her.

He's here.

Yeah, I know. Let's go.

Wait a minute.

What about her?

It's a cycle. It just keeps going.

No, no, you can't go out there. Horses in the hallway. We got no choice.

Yeah,

Mitch, I hear you.

Damn it.

Look, I've been here with Ryan.

Get her out of here.

Keep talking to me.

I'll keep talking to move.

through there's no telling how much time you have hurry i mean it

take

my hand

we all have to touch it once and hold on tight and no matter what happens don't

let go

I never thought we'd make it.

You're not the only one.

Take it out of there!

The land must be purified!

All eaters must die!

Miss,

wake up.

Wake up.

Hi.

You okay?

Yeah, I think so.

What happened?

You keeled over.

Ryan came running after me, brought me back.

You had us concerned.

It's got to be from that bump on the head that you took from the axe.

Wait a minute.

The axe.

Cigars.

Where'd you get that bubble bath?

I bought it for this weekend.

Whoa.

Whoa, I had one heck of a dream.

All this was in it?

Yeah.

Wow. Well, now that you're feeling better, we have to get on the road. I

full crew meeting us at the haunted house.

No, thanks. I think I'll pass on the haunted house.

Maybe some other time? No, not any other time. Not ever.

I have to go. I will speak to you later.

Oh, my God, Mitch, what happened to your arm?

I don't know.

There's a guy with an accident.

He's coming at me. He's chasing me through this house, and there's this

guy smoking these cigars, and then there's a girl taking a bubble bath. I'm

telling you, this is not a dream. Okay, okay, look.

Why don't you just go home and get some sleep? No, I do not want to get some

sleep. I'm going to have a cup of coffee, and I'm going to stay awake.

Go for a long walk on the beach, and then...

I'm gonna have another cup of coffee and go for another long walk.

Matter of fact, I'm not going to sleep for a very long time.
