Welcome wayward souls to another

installment of our broadcast equivalent

of cold guru.

Tonight's cinematic formage is Cohaven

Farm, a 1970 tale of pilgrim curses,

suspicious locals, and a farmhouse with

more issues than our production staff.

>> Begging your pardon, Mr. Livingston. I

was wondering if I could have the rest

of the evening off. The cat next door

has gone into labor, and I'm scheduled

to help with the delivery. No, Mrs.

Okconor, you may not take your leave

early to serve as midwife to a feline.

>> For those of you who feel compelled to

continue, we think you'll find tonight's

film a more tasteful departure from the

usual tripe we serve you on this

program.

Let us now make our way over to Plymouth

County and pay a visit to Crow Haven

Farm.

[Music]

and to my cousin Margaret Kerry Porter.

I, Evelyn Kerry, leave a cameo brooch of

Neapolitan design, my collection of milk

glass, and an original oil painting of

the Matterhorn by an unknown Swiss

artist.

To my cousin Henry Pearson, I leave free

and clear title to Crow Haven Farm, its

house, outbuildings, and 80 acres of

woods and farmland in Essex County,

Massachusetts.

>> Congratulations, Mr. Pearson.

>> Thank you very much. There is a

cautisle.

Should the said Henry Pearson fail to

take possession of Crow Haven within 30

days after being notified, the farm

shall then automatically become the sole

property of the afore named Margaret

Kerry Porter.

Is that clear?

>> Perfectly. I intend to drive up and take

possession of Crow Haven Farm this

weekend.

[Applause]

[Music]

No.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Heat. Heat.

Hallelujah.

[Music]

Oh.

There it is, baby. Your ancestral

estate.

>> My friends, you've come a long way from

that fourth floor walk up in the

village.

Ah!

Woo!

[Music]

Hey,

would you believe a walk-in fireplace?

Handpicked floors, beams, ceilings.

Fantastic.

Felicia, where's Ben?

>> Well, he's out checking the barn, I

think.

[Music]

How'd you know that seller door was

there?

How did I know where the old well was?

or that secret panel upstairs. Oh, you

probably heard your folks talk about

this farm when you were a kid.

>> Felicia,

do you believe people can live more than

one life?

>> You mean reincarnation?

Of course I do. Well, I've lived dozens

of times.

I was a priestess of Osiris in Egypt.

>> And be serious. But I am being serious,

lovey. I know. I've lived lots of lives.

That's how I feel about this place.

I've been here before.

I've cooked in this kitchen. I've lived

here. And I

Felicia, I don't want to stay.

I can't.

I'll go tell Ben.

[Music]

Well,

>> that's just a small expression of my

gratitude.

>> For what?

>> For this. For all this beautiful,

beautiful space. And that barn. What a

great studio I'm going to have.

>> I may even turn that loft into my own

private gallery.

>> Honey,

>> Ben Porter's Crow Haven. Period.

>> Ben, I've decided something.

I can't stay here.

>> What? Why?

>> Well, it's it's an old old house and the

repairs would be very expensive.

>> Well, I can do a lot of that. And there

must be some local handyman who can do

the rest just as soon as we can afford

it.

>> Then you're not being logical.

>> Maggie,

baby, let's don't be logical. I have a

very strong feeling about this place,

about us.

>> Honey, we'd be so far away from

everything. Look, Maggie,

lately with you and me, things have not

quite been the way we wanted.

Well, I I know it's a lot of my own

frustration, no recognition, no sales.

And the thing about the baby,

so we need a change.

But here, here we can breathe. We can

unwind, be closer than ever.

Oh, Maggie.

Maggie, please do this for me.

Do this. And And you can ask me for

anything.

I promise.

I promise you on everything I've ever

felt for you.

On our wedding rings,

please.

Oh,

God.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Heat. Hey, Heat.

[Music]

Ben.

>> Yeah,

[Music]

baby. What is it,

Maggie? What's the matter?

>> I went exploring and

was an empty meadow,

stone wall.

I I thought I heard

I saw

>> No, no. Look, it's just the sun. You're

overheated.

Why don't Why don't you go in the house

and lie down and take a rest? Huh?

Good.

[Music]

Mrs.

Who are you?

>> Chver. Nate Chver.

I'm what they call a handyman.

No job too odd for me. Mrs.

Your husband hired me to mend the

foundation.

Fine old house. Crow haven is

but at once looking after.

[Music]

That's all right there.

[Music]

And she is. Don't look so frightened.

Uh,

>> just a few of your weekend neighbors

dropping in to say welcome.

>> The party started at our place in Fritz.

>> Why don't we invite the pretty new

people at Crow Haven?

>> But you don't have a phone.

>> Only that didn't save them, did it,

Kevin?

>> We had this impulse to share.

>> And the weekenders rule is if you have

an impulse, obey it.

>> So, we brought the party to you. I hope

we are not intruding, Mr. Porter.

>> Intruding? Of course not. This is one of

the greatest welcome wagons I ever saw.

Come in, please come in.

>> Very kind.

>> Welcome to Crow Haven Farm.

>> Well, we get old.

>> So good to see some new faces in this

neighborhood. You've no idea how dull

these weekend parties get.

>> Week after week, the same old.

>> You know my motto, baby.

>> Mrs. Porter, you've inherited quite a

monument to the past in Crow Haven.

Fasten your seat belts everybody. Harold

is about to conduct another one of his

tours to the 17th century.

>> 17th century? That was in the Puritan

times, wasn't it?

>> Yes. Bmpton was an early Puritan

settlement founded about uh 1650 with

all the same attractions as its larger

neighbors, Salem and Andover, including

witches and witch trials.

>> Witches?

>> Yes. Oh, nothing quite so spectacular as

Salem.

Yet there was a nice practicality in the

Bmpton witches. For instance, there was

a certain Martha Lawson. She had a

husband, Martha, whom she didn't much

care for.

>> How well I know that feeling.

>> Divorce being unthinkable, Mistress

Lawson looked about for an alternative.

Acting on the advice of a friendly

witch, she took off her wedding ring and

passed it to a bonafide representative

of the coven. Coven. What's that?

>> The witch equivalent of a bridge club.

>> Before you could say the Lord's Prayer

backwards, husband Lawson was dead and

his soul signed, sealed, and delivered

to the devil. At one time, half the

population of Bmpton was suspected of

witchcraft, accused by the other half.

Actually, there were eight executed,

seven were hanged, and one was pressed

to death. The accused witch was placed

under a wooden plank. Then stones such

as our walls are made of were piled on

top.

Usually they were trying to get a

confession. But if the accused wouldn't

confess, she was finally crushed under

the weight.

>> For heaven's sake, Carol, that's enough.

Too much. Come on, everybody. Have

another sandwich.

>> Yes, you got

me.

[Music]

Mrs. Porter,

>> you look as though you could use this. I

guess our welcome wagon was a bit too

much for you.

>> No, not at all.

>> Well, I understand your husband's an

artist.

>> What are your specialties?

>> Well, at the moment, I'm a full-time

housewife. in New York. I was a legal

secretary.

>> You're not interested in a job, are you?

>> Well, as a matter of fact, I have been

thinking about it.

>> Well, I happen to know one of the top

law firms in law is looking for a good

secretary.

>> Just say the word.

>> A legal firm

>> in L.

>> You interested,

>> Maggie?

>> I think our guests are getting ready to

leave.

>> Honey, Mr. Pierce has offered to

recommend me for a secretarial job. Oh,

in his office.

>> Unfortunately, we have it a vacancy at

the moment.

>> Let me know.

>> Maggie, you're not going to take a job.

>> Have you checked our bank balance

lately?

>> I don't want any favors from Pierce.

>> Oh, Ben, you know how I feel about your

jealousy.

>> Look, Maggie,

>> it's just that I've been so edgy lately,

and I think that it would be good for me

to get away from the farm during the

day.

I want a job in

>> the one Mr. Pierce mentioned or another.

>> Maggie, it's quitting time. You make us

look bad.

>> Oh, don't worry. I'll be finished in a

few minutes.

>> Okay. See you tomorrow. Don't work too

hard. Night. Night.

All

right.

Thanks a lot for the lift, Kevin.

>> Pleasure. Your car breaking down was the

best news I've had all week.

>> Thanks again, Kevin. Bye-bye.

>> Car wouldn't start. I needed help. So I

>> You knew just where to find him.

>> I asked Kevin to give me a lift because

I thought you'd be worried. I should

have stayed low.

>> Was that his suggestion?

>> Oh, Ben, come on.

>> Congratulations. You found yourself a

man who is eager to give you everything

I can't, including a child.

[Music]

Where is she?

No, I can't breathe. Where is she?

[Music]

Maggie.

>> Maggie.

Well,

>> Maggie, I'm sorry,

baby.

Everything's going to be all right.

It's going to be all right.

[Music]

A history of Salem.

Records of the Bmpton witches.

H.

>> Well, that's very thoughtful of you to

lend me these, Mr. Dne.

>> Oh, they're all fascinating. I just feel

that any descendant of the Kerry family

should know at least a little something

of the early days.

>> Well, to tell you the truth, now that

I'm working, I don't know when I'm going

to get to these.

>> Oh, no hurry. I'm off to Florida in a

few days and won't be back for several

months.

>> Well, you know, I'm really more

interested in the present and in the

future than I am in the past. Aren't

they all part of the same circle? Uh,

well, by the way, uh, I might suggest a

visit to the Bmpton Cemetery. There are

a number of Kerry markers there dating

back to the late 17th and early 18th

centuries.

>> Really? Well, thanks again for your

thoughtfulness

and uh, enjoy your vacation in the sun.

>> I'll try to.

>> Bye-bye.

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

Who's there?

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

Oh my god.

[Music]

Oh my god.

[Music]

Heat. Heat.

[Music]

I wasn't dreaming, Dr. Terminer. There

was a child sobbing,

>> needing your help. And when I went to

find the child followed, the sobbing

stopped

and there was this awful mocking

laughter.

Somehow I knew I felt something terrible

was going to happen to me.

>> Mrs. Porter, you've been married 7

years.

You plan to have a family.

>> Ben and I want children very much. We

can't. We haven't been able to. You've

had the usual test.

>> There seems no physical explanation.

>> Adoption.

>> We've applied. I guess our financial

status isn't exactly impressive.

>> I'm wondering, Mrs. Porter, do you think

it's possible that the sense of

frustration and denial you feel because

your child is,

do you think that could be responsible

for this

nervous reaction?

I suppose I know it's spoiling

everything between Ben and me.

We're both so defensive and

doctor,

I'll give anything to have a child.

Anything.

>> I'm going to prescribe mild seditive and

I want you to try to occupy yourself

with other interests. And most of all,

don't lose hope.

[Music]

>> Ben,

>> this is Miss Lewis.

>> Mercy Lewis. This is my husband, Ben.

>> Hello.

>> Dr. Ter suggested she come by for a

visit

>> about a possible adoption.

>> Do you represent an agency? Uh, no. I'm

trying to find a suitable home for my

niece.

>> Oh,

I see.

>> Jennifer is 10.

>> 10.

You see, I we always thought that if we

adopted,

>> you prefer a baby. I understand. In your

place, I might feel the same way. Still,

I had to ask.

Jennifer was orphaned when she was two.

Now, Dr. Terminina tells me that my

illness is uh

incurable. So, I'm trying to find a good

home for Jennifer before I

Thank you,

>> Miss Lewis.

I'm sorry.

It's just that well, Tenn is half grown

and to to miss seeing

[Music]

I asked you to wait in the car.

You're Jennifer.

>> Yes, ma'am.

>> I'm Maggie, short for Margaret.

>> Maggie's friendlier.

>> And this is my husband, Ben.

>> Hi, Jennifer. Hello, Ben. That's a

friendly name, too.

>> Did you paint this, Ben?

>> That's right.

>> Those colors are so pretty.

They're almost too pretty. They make me

want to cry.

>> Well, that's the nicest compliment I've

ever had.

>> We've got to go now. Come on, Jennifer.

>> Yes, at Mercy. At Mercy,

can I stay with Maggie and Ben while you

go to Boston?

>> No, dear. I'm going to Boston tomorrow.

Additional tests.

If you had been

interested.

Well, I thought perhaps a trial visit.

We should work out something else.

>> Miss Lewis, wait.

Jennifer, would you really like to stay

with Ben and me while your aunt's in

Boston?

>> Yes, ma'am.

>> All right, then until tomorrow.

>> Thank you.

>> Goodbye, Maggie. Goodbye, Ben.

>> Goodbye, Jennifer.

>> Bye-bye.

[Music]

Ben, was I foolish?

>> No, she's a lovely little girl. I

>> mean, it's no commitment. It's just a

visit.

[Music]

>> Well, there you are all scrub, fresh,

and glow. Hey, where are your slippers?

>> I haven't any.

>> You haven't any? Well, we'll have to fix

that.

Tomorrow you and I will go on a little

shopping spree to Lel. Would you like

that?

>> Yes, ma'am.

>> Okay.

>> Well, are good night kisses in order?

>> They certainly are.

>> Good night, Jennifer.

>> Night, Ben.

>> And remember, if you need anything

during the night, you call us.

>> Okay.

>> Night.

>> Good night.

[Music]

No question about it being suicide, even

if I didn't have Dr. Ter's report.

>> Miss Lewis was in constant pain. These

tests in Boston were a last faint hope.

When that was eliminated,

>> Ben, has Jennifer been told,

>> "Yes,

she accepted it very quietly."

>> Poor thing. She probably doesn't

understand. I think she does, Mrs.

Porter. I think her aunt had uh prepared

her.

>> Doctor, what will this mean for us?

>> Jennifer's visiting. I mean, there was

no formal arrangement.

>> Well, has Jennifer been happy these past

few days?

>> She certainly seems to be.

>> And you?

>> Oh, very much so, doctor.

>> Then, at the moment, what else matters?

Jennifer has a home with two people who

love her, and you have what you said you

wanted above everything else, a child.

Here

we go. Look at you nice and warm.

Jennifer, if you ever feel like talking

about your Aunt Mercy,

I mean, I know you must miss her very

much. Aunt Mercy is happier now. So I

am, too.

Jennifer,

that scar. How did you get it?

>> I don't know. It's always been there.

>> Looks like some kind of animal bite.

>> Maybe. I don't remember.

I Kevin Pierce.

>> Oh, hi Kevin.

>> I've been looking for a semi-legitimate

excuse to call you

>> and the storms just supplied it.

>> I'm listening.

>> According to the Department of Highway,

stretches of the road to Bradton are

under 3 ft of water. You shouldn't try

to drive home tonight.

>> Well, I'll have to. We still don't have

a phone and Ben's expecting me.

>> Call Claire Allen. She'll get a message

to Ben.

>> Well, I'd have to get a hotel room and

>> stay at my apartment.

>> I can picture the look of outrage.

>> At ease, Maggie. Unfortunately, this

time it's only a friendly gesture. I

won't be there.

>> Okay.

>> Well, I don't think

>> I have to go into Boston. The key will

be with the manager. Besides, the hotels

are full, so you don't have much choice.

>> Well, if you sure be all right. Yeah, I'

I'd appreciate it.

>> I'm glad to be of service.

>> I'll see you soon.

>> Okay, Kevin. Bye-bye.

Come

on, go.

Jennifer, what are you doing here? I

thought I had you all nice and cozy.

>> I'm lonely. Can I stay here with you

just for a little while?

>> Sure. I could use some company myself.

I had a girl.

>> Comfy. Uhhuh.

>> Good.

[Music]

Well, what did I do to deserve that?

>> I love you, Ben Porter.

[Music]

>> Likewise.

But Jenny, it's late. You better get

some sleep.

[Music]

You're not glad to see me, which

confirms my suspicion you've been

avoiding me.

>> We've been busy. Ben sold another

painting. The galleries promised him a

oneman show in Jim.

>> I wasn't talking about Ben. I haven't

spoken to you since the night you stayed

at my apartment.

>> Kevin, don't mention that.

>> Why?

>> Well, I didn't think it was important.

>> You lied to a jealous husband.

>> Why were you afraid to come after me

with this?

>> I didn't lie. Ben assumed I'd stayed at

the hotel.

>> So, why bother to set him straight?

>> I'd like to give him a better reason to

be jealous.

>> look Maggie,

>> I'm Crystal Alden in the Thanksgiving

play at school. I want to show you the

costume they've given me to wear.

>> Very authentic.

>> Jennifer, how long have you been

standing there?

>> A little while.

A brief and likely unwelcome

interruption to provide you with some

utterly banal information about

tonight's film.

Crow Haven Farm stars Hope Lang, who had

just wrapped her starring role on the

television series The Ghost and Mrs.

Mure.

Needless to say, she better managed

herself amongst the undead on that show

than she does on this film.

>> Sir, might I recross the remainder of

the evening off? I just remembered I

promised to water John Provos

Rodendrrons before the full moon.

>> I'm quite sure. Now get back to work.

So, as you wish to find out more

interesting trivia about this film, I

recommend noting how often someone in

this story chooses to wander off alone,

a phenomenon that sadly never occurs in

this manner.

Now, back to the film.

The report's not conclusive, but

instinct tells me you are most probably

going to have a baby.

>> You're incredulous.

>> Suddenly, after 7 years,

>> you're part of a common place. The shest

way to have a baby of your own is to

adopt one.

>> Oh, Dr. Termin, if only this were true.

What a Christmas present for Ben.

>> The odds are in our favor. But suppose

you and I keep this beautiful

possibility our secret for another

month. Huh?

>> I won't tell Ben. Not till I'm 100%

sure.

>> Oh, but

wouldn't it be a lovely way to start the

new year?

[Music]

>> Thank you. Remember, you promised not a

word.

>> Lost my heart, lovey, but I'm thrilled.

>> I don't know where they got it.

>> Do I have any?

>> Oh, you're very brave. Giving a New

Year's Eve party. I never had the

courage.

>> Brings out the worst in everyone.

>> You know, we're at our best when we're

at our worst.

>> Listen, everybody, I'd like to propose a

toast

>> to our handsome host. May the new year

bring greater and greater recognition of

his creative powers.

I'd like to offer an amendment to our

charming hostess. May she share with her

husband a sense of creative fulfillment.

>> How lovely.

>> Absolutely lovely, doctor.

>> Hey, it's New Year.

>> Happy New Year.

>> Happy New Year, everybody.

>> I've been maneuvering toward this moment

all evening. Happy New Year, Maggie.

>> Happy New Year. Excuse me.

Ben, happy new year.

[Music]

>> Happy New Year.

>> Ben,

>> please don't soak about Kevin. Not

tonight.

>> I have something very important to

Daniel.

Okay.

>> Dr. Turman told me this afternoon there

isn't the slightest doubt that I'm

pregnant.

>> What?

>> We're going to have a baby.

>> A baby? Our own baby? Oh, Maggie.

Oh, Maggie. This was the only thing

missing. Now we've got it all. Our own

baby.

begging your pardon.

Last fall, mister said I was to clean

out the cellar before spring.

That's all right. I just hadn't realized

you'd start again.

the evil one. May carry.

You've no idea when Mr. and Mrs. Porter

will be returning?

>> No, sir.

>> Well, I don't think I'll wait.

Will you tell Mrs. reported that I

called.

>> Yes, sir.

>> My cane.

>> I'm sure I had it with me.

[Music]

>> Well, I don't see it, sir.

>> Strange.

Well, if it should turn up,

perhaps Mrs. Porter could bring it to

me.

>> Yes, sir.

>> Thank you.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Hey, that was the shocking thing about

Mr. Dne, wasn't it?

>> What do you mean? What happened? Oh, he

fell down the cellar steps and broke his

neck.

>> Oh, no.

>> Yeah, I guess the wood rotted out while

he was away in Florida.

>> That's terrible.

>> Yeah, he's a nice fellow. Village is

going to miss him. Hey, this must be a

special shock for you seeing him just

yesterday.

>> Well, I didn't see him. I haven't seen

him since he left for Florida.

>> Is that right? Well, he come to visit

you yesterday.

>> He did?

>> Sure. Sure. I saw him turn into your

lane.

>> Oh, yeah. Ben and I spent the day in low

yesterday.

>> Ah, that's how you missed him, man.

Bye-bye, Mrs. Porter.

>> Bye.

>> Jennifer, did Mr. Dne come to visit us

while we were in Lola yesterday?

>> Mr. Dne?

>> Mhm.

Well, if anyone came yesterday, I didn't

see him.

[Music]

And in that year of 1692, they were

living at the place known as Crow Haven

Farm, its owner, One Daniel Kerry, and

his wife, Margaret.

or Meg.

Their union had not been blessed with

children, and it was generally

acknowledged Mistress Mag Carry was

barren.

barren woman, conceive a child if he did

not compact in blood with the evil one?

[Music]

Though Daniel Kerry and his wife were

generally accepted as god-fearing and

true believing Christians, there were

rumors and whisperings of strange and

evil practices on the farm.

It was said that a coven of 13 condemned

witches held their bloody and orgastic

Sabbaths in a stone quarry on the farm

where was spilled the blood of sheep,

goats,

and even larger animals.

Name those who were thy mediators with

the evil one may carry. Name their names

and ye shall live. Name them.

And the child Jennifer was brought

before them and stood mutely.

When her garments were removed,

there was plain on her left shoulder the

mark of the devil,

the mark of Satan's own teeth.

child. Anything.

thee who serve him.

>> Ben, don't let them take me,

Nobody's going to take you anywhere.

You're going to be in this bed at least

a week.

you're feeling better.

bedtime.

Something. And

it's happening all over again.

>> Maggie, Dr. Terina gave you a very

strong sedative. Now, you probably

dreamed all this because of some

nonsense you read in the book.

I didn't dream it. It isn't nonsense.

Mr. Dne saw the parallel. That's why he

came here. He came here to warn us. And

that's why he was killed.

>> He wasn't killed. He had an accidental

fall.

>> Accident

like the one my cousin Henry Pearson

had.

Ben, don't you see? It was all arranged.

my inheriting the farm, our taking

Jennifer,

Mercy Lewis's death, your success, and

Oh, Ben, read the book. And then we've

got to get away from here. We've got to

get away.

>> All right, darling. Of course.

>> Promise you'll read the book.

>> Yes, I'll read it.

[Music]

No, nothing. And I've searched every

bookshelf in this house.

>> Doctor, do you think there ever was any

such book? Or was she imagining it all?

>> Well, premature birth is a tremendous

shock to the nervous system. A certain

degraded mobility is quite common in

mothers who deliver early. Well, you

think we should put her in the hospital

in L.

>> Oh, I consider that possibility, but but

I don't feel it's safe to move her now.

>> Look, doctor, this is going to sound a

bit selfish, but I have a oneman show

opening in Boston tomorrow. I don't want

to be away from Maggie, not even for a

day. Not now. Well, you see, I've worked

so hard and for so long.

>> Oh, you must go. Of course. Maggie will

be perfectly safe in our hands. I'm sure

she'll insist on your going.

No,

don't leave me. Take me with you.

>> Maggie, I can't. You're too weak to

travel anywhere. But look, you and I

will go to Boston just as soon as Dr.

Terminina gives the okay.

>> Ben, don't you care what happens to me?

>> Of course I care. I always have and I

always will.

>> Then don't go.

>> Maggie, I've worked for years for a day

like today. A one-man show in a first

class gallery, and I have to be there at

the opening.

>> It's our future.

Then you you once made a promise to me

that if I'd live here, you'd give me

anything I asked for.

Remember?

Now I'm asking.

I'm begging. Don't leave me here.

>> Maggie, now I've never ever broken a

promise to you, but Dr. Terminina says

you're not responsible for what you're

saying. And so I'm going to have to do

what I think is best for all of us. I

promise I'll be back today.

I promise.

>> Ben.

Ben.

Heat. Heat.

Mistress Carrie

[Music]

Please,

>> what what have I done to you?

>> Ye betrayed us, mistress.

Exchanged our lives for thy own.

>> 62 years enjoyed life. I died at 10

because ye betrayed me.

>> No, no, that was me. Harry, hundreds

hundreds of years ago.

>> We've waited for thy souls return to

this world

for our revenge.

>> What is unfinished must be finished.

What is unavvenged must be avenged. Then

will our master claim his overdue

payment.

Thy soul

[Music]

Felicia.

Felicia,

>> hurry. Hurry. We've got to get away

before they get it.

>> Maggie, what's the matter? What do you

mean, bae?

>> Maggie, what's the matter with you?

Drive away. I'll explain.

>> Okay. Okay.

[Music]

Thank God. Thank God it was you,

Felicia. There are such things as

witches. You know, in some other life,

they think I've betrayed them.

Felicia, they want to kill me.

[Music]

Felicia,

no.

Not you.

>> Get out, Magg.

[Music]

No.

[Music]

The baby. No, don't take my baby.

>> No.

>> Our quarrel is not with a child.

[Music]

Felicia

Clare, please.

Help!

Help!

>> Make Carrie,

he did break thy bloods signed covenant

with him who is our master. To save thy

own life, he betrayed thy sisters

Jennifer and mercy to the persecutors

who did here hang Mercy Lewis by the

neck and it pressed Jennifer with such a

weight of cruel stones that her tender

spirit was forced from her child's body.

Now shall the circle be closed. Our

sister Jennifer will hear this day, June

8th, the anniversary of her own cruel

death, have her just revenge on her

betrayer. At the same time, our master

will receive the payment long due him

thy soul. Ben,

Ben,

>> you wish to save thyself and sacrifice

another as ye did before with me.

So be it. Give me Ben in thy place.

You want Ben? I would know with him

something of the life ye denied me. Meg

Carrie,

you can't give away

another person's soul. It has been done.

>> My baby. What will happen to my baby?

Give me Ben and live.

>> No. No.

No.

Give me thy wedding ring. I may not take

it from thee, but ye may give it freely.

Will ye give me the ring?

>> Yes. Yes.

[Music]

I'm happy.

[Music]

Hi, Jenny. How's my favorite model?

Fine.

>> Hey, I better teach you how to tie a bow

hala Ben Porter.

>> No one ties the bow the way you do.

>> That's right.

>> Everybody like your paintings as much as

I do? Yep. Sold almost half of them

already. Oh, I better go tell Maggie.

>> Maggie's gone.

[Music]

>> She was very angry after you left. She

sent for Dr. Termin. They talked. Then

he said Maggie and the baby were going

to Mr. Pierce's.

>> Kevin Pierce.

>> Maggie said that was where they both

belonged.

Her and the baby had pierces.

I told her that once to go to him.

>> Maybe that's why she stayed in Mr.

Pierce's apartment.

>> What?

>> The night it rained so hard.

>> Jenny, she didn't. She didn't.

>> Please, Ben. Don't be angry with me, but

it's true. I heard it tell Mr. Pierce

not to mention it.

[Music]

Of course,

a couple who can't have a child

suddenly do after the wife spends a

night in lol.

[Music]

What up?

[Music]

You may alert the police.

Ben.

Ben.

Ben.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Ben,

[Music]

hurry, Ben. I've been waiting for you.

[Music]

Heat. Heat.

[Music]

Hey, Bill.

Cause of death, broken neck.

>> I guess he panicked after he killed

Pierce,

>> got lost in the darkness, and fell in

the quarry.

>> What do you make of that, Doc?

>> It's a laceration or puncture wound from

the fall. Looks almost like teeth marks.

>> Teeth marks? No, Bill. What kind of

animal native to Massachusetts has teeth

like this? Huh?

>> I guess you're right. It is kind of a

farfetched idea.

[Music]

Good afternoon.

>> Good afternoon, officer.

>> I haven't seen you in this part of the

park before.

>> And you're around here, aren't you?

>> That's right.

Oh, he's a handsome little fell.

>> Must have his father's coloring.

>> His father was very fair.

>> Was

>> I'm a widow.

>> Let me fix this for you.

[Music]

Well, isn't that extraordinary?

You know, my husband used

It's been a pleasure talking with you.

And if it's any comfort to a woman alone

like yourself, you can be sure that from

now on I'll have my eye on you

and your little boy.

Heat. Heat.

[Music]

Welcome back. If you've managed to

remain conscious through to the end of

Crow Haven Farm, you have my reluctant

admiration.

Should you experience any lingering

sense of dread, it is most likely due to

the fact that you chose to watch this

film instead of doing something else

productive.

>> Mr. Livingston, I'll be taking my leave

now. If I stay any longer, the miss will

find a new way to give me a new hole in

me head.

>> Very well. You can make up the time you

missed on Sunday.

As always, thank you for subjecting

yourself to another installment of this

Macob version of the Gong Show.

Please remember this film on

Thanksgiving because if one of your

relatives should require pressing, you

now know how to do it.

Good night and please consider leaving

your television off until we meet again.

Heat.

[Music]
