Original subtitles

All right, darling, let's go.

Susan, did you hear me?

We're leaving.

No, Aunt Cora.

I'm staying with mommy.

Please, honey, I know you're upset, but I don't want you to stay out here and catch cold.

Let's go home.

I'm not going home

I'm going to your house.

That's right.

My house is gonna be your home until you're old enough to inherit your mother's estate.

Now let's get in the car.

Come on, Susan.

It's time to go now.

I won't go in there.

I won't.

No, Ancora, I won't!

Susan!

Susan, wait!

Not Susan, oh God, please, not Susan.

Come here.

What are you doing here?

Yeah.

I've been treating your niece since she was a child.

Her behavior's been normal for over ten years now, Cora

Believe me, there's nothing wrong with Susan.

Look, Simon, what happened to my sister and to the Nomid family is not my imagination.

Here's my father's diary.

I have hesitated to show it to anyone over the years, even to you.

It's my family history.

Read it, Simon.

I am aware of the superstition and mythology that surrounds your family, Cora.

You have a very active imagination.

Ideal in reality

Are you afraid to read it?

Simon, you've always been willing to help.

And I always will be.

I happen to love Susan very much.

What's really bothering you, Cora?

Susan is starting to behave the same way her mother did before she died.

Do you realize that you come to me with the same anxiety every anniversary of your sister's death, every time Susan visits her mother's grave?

Look, Cora.

Susan's a beautiful grown woman now.

She's married.

Let her lead her own life.

It's time to let go, Cora.

Yeah.

Therefore did the demon extricate itself from the crown of thorns, departing the confines of the outer-rimmed area of hell, and was rewarded with the eternal possession of the first female born of the family.

known as Nomed.

Once having left the mausoleum, the demon is one with the possessed and can only be returned to rest by the firstborn having reunited the demon with the crown of thorns.

And lest we forget, no nomad woman must enter the sanctuary of the mausoleum.

Jonathan Nomad, August 16, 2019.

Susan, hey, wake up, hun.

Are you all right?

I couldn't wake you.

Oliver.

Yeah?

Did you expect somebody else?

Did you bring me home

What are you talking about?

You must have been dreaming.

Guess I was.

Be right back.

Hi Ben.

Farrell.

How you feel?

Fine.

I think I must have had a nightmare.

Listen, uh, why don't we get out of here and go down to the club and do some dancing?

Oh, oh, I'd like that, honey.

I'm coming, darling.

We better hurry or we'll lose the table.

How do I look?

Fantastic.

You look absolutely great.

Thank you.

Where?

Just looking at the dance floor.

You were looking at her, weren't you?

And this is the last time you're gonna do this to me.

Will you take me?

You look at me.

I don't know what the hell you're talking about, but you're always bitching about the same old shit.

That's because it's always the same old shit with you.

Cheers.

Honey, listen though.

I'm sorry we can't spend more time together.

As soon as I get these contracts signed and the deal taken care of, I promise you we'll get it.

I understand money.

Now, let's dance.

Okay.

Excuse me, Mr.

Farrell.

What the hell's wrong with her?

How about the contracts?

Very good.

Um, yeah, I'll be right down.

Alright, thanks.

Well, guess what?

Contracts are ready and the plans are in for New York.

We have to go.

Sorry.

Oh, it doesn't matter, honey.

Let's go.

I don't want to stay anywhere.

Good boy, thanks.

Alright, Mr.

Farrell, have your car ready for you.

Oh you want a ticket?

Uh here I got a number for you.

And an eight-pound Chateaubriand?

Who is that for, Miss Fair?

For the Del Marcos next week.

They can eat hot dogs.

Elsie, just pick up the things I need.

If that's all, Mrs.

Farrell, I'll be leaving now.

And I'll take care of all of this by the time I get back.

Okay, Elsie, you enjoy your days off.

Yes, Ben.

Mr.

Farrell around?

No, he's at work, Ben.

What do you want?

Won't at last.

What did you say, Ben?

Uh, coffee.

It smells good.

Of course.

Farrell.

I'll tell Oliver you want to see him when he gets home.

Much uh obliged.

Okay then

Farrow?

Sus uh Susan.

I thought I had uh well Do you want some more coffee, Ben?

No no I Well then I suggest you get back to your work

Are you sure you didn't hear anything

Oof.

We don't want to do that.

You never brought back the cup.

Maybe uh you and I should uh go look for it.

Well, where do you suppose it could be

I think I left it in the tennis court.

Upstairs?

No

Garage?

Mm-hmm.

Why didn't I think of that?

Why didn't you

You didn't expect anything different, did you?

Now I know why that uh husband of yours uh stays home so long.

I've uh had some women in my time, some of them real pros.

You know what I mean.

But uh sure as hell you beat them all

And uh you play rough too.

I have some old tricks up my sleeve.

Let's uh try something new.

Are you asleep?

I never sleep.

Good.

Now, let you and I get going again.

You're the only one that's going

Susan.

Sweetheart.

I should have come home earlier.

Where's Elsie?

I gave her the night off so we could be alone.

Susie.

I've never seen you like this before.

I've never felt like this before

Honey, I love you.

Show me

No more!

No more!

I won't!

I can't!

So it is, so it shall be.

You're not me!

You're not

How come you always smell so good, huh?

It's the bacon honey.

Mm-hmm.

Sure.

Who are you talking to?

When?

Just now when I was upstairs.

I thought I heard you talking to somebody.

Well, if you mean my lovery's in the closet.

You mean you don't want to talk about it?

Means that I don't know what you're talking about.

How would you like your eggs?

Hate to tell you this, but I have to go to the office early.

I can't have breakfast.

You gonna be home late tonight?

Why do you ask?

Well, I'd hate for you to catch me with my lover.

Just get him out of here before I get home, okay?

Oh, Cor is coming today.

Good.

Well say hello for me

Susan, Susan, are you here?

Elsie, are you here?

Where the hell is she?

Susan

Susan, are you up there?

Would you mind telling me what's going on around here?

I brought the estate papers you wanted.

Oh my God, I can't help you now.

Hi, Hun.

Sorry, I'm so late, Town.

They're beautiful.

I've been thinking about you all day.

What's for dinner?

Poached salmon and me.

Dr.

Andrews, yes.

Simon, it's Oliver.

Oliver?

Are you all right?

Hold on a minute.

Simon, I've got to talk to you.

Do you know what time it is?

Listen, it's about Susan.

What's wrong with her?

Is she hurt?

No, but oh my god, I mean it was awful.

Now calm down, Oliver, and tell me what's the matter.

All right, listen, I I fell asleep and woke up and uh she was not in bed.

She was over there in the corner and

I don't know what it was, but I know it wasn't Susan.

I don't know what the hell it was.

Simon, look, I'm sorry about the hour, and I'm sorry to bother you, but I don't think you realize what I just saw.

I mean I think you should come over here right now

Look, Oliver, it's very late.

I think it best we all get some sleep.

Have Susan come to my office tomorrow at 2.

30, okay?

All right.

Thank you, Simon.

Good night.

Are you all right?

Who are you talking to?

Oh, uh, it's just a wrong number.

I didn't hear the phone ring.

Well, I got to it quick.

Uh I couldn't sleep, so I came downstairs to have a drink.

Why don't you come back to bed?

You okay?

Elsie, uh Miss Farrell's still asleep.

And when she comes down, tell her I went to the office and I'll try to be back about 1230.

Uh, I'm expecting She won't be here, Mr.

Farrell.

This is Thursday and she always have her hair appointment on Thursday mornings.

You know that.

All right then we just put up a pot of coffee for her.

We out of coffee, Mr.

Farrell

Well then tea, darling, will you make her some tea?

I'll make it right now, Mr.

Farrell, because I just might not be here when you get back.

Oh, look, Elsie, what are you talking about?

Not your sister.

She's not sick again, is she?

No, Mr.

Farrell

It's spiritual matters.

Well look, Elsie, I really gotta get going and we'll talk about this.

But Mr.

Farrell!

Later, Elsie, listen, when I get back, we'll discuss it, but just look after Susan, will you?

But I always do

Yeah, but today more than any other time.

Now we'll talk when I get back, I promise.

Okay, okay

Promises, promises.

That's all they ever do is promise.

Just promise all the time.

That fool I can't get him to see nothing

There's some strange shit going on in this house and I know damn well it is.

Mr.

Fell, Mr.

Mother Father Sucker got away.

Good googly boogly.

I tried to tell Mr.

Farrell there was something wrong.

I need a drink of the good stuff.

I don't use to drink this stuff since I got religion, but

Lord have mercy.

I ain't been listening there since I've been black.

Now I go and take care of Miss Barrell.

No more grieving, I'm deep.

Do it by your life.

I know Simon wants to see me for a checkup, but I don't need one.

I feel fine.

Yeah, but what about the nightmares?

Why bother with that?

But if you want me to go, I'll go.

I want you to go, Susan, okay?

Well what happened to Elsie this afternoon?

She didn't show up.

Oh, it's probably her sister again.

She'll show up later.

Hello

Hi Martha.

No.

Let me ask Susan.

Ask me what?

Martha was supposed to have lunch with Corey yesterday and she didn't show up.

She tried calling her at the house but couldn't reach her there either.

She'll show up later.

Listen, don't worry about Cora, all right?

Just try calling her at the house later.

Yeah, I will.

Okay, bye-bye.

She says hello.

Speaking of people not showing up, whatever happened to our great gardener?

He's supposed to finish taking out that stump.

Oh, you know what he's like.

Why don't you give him a call?

Off to the doctor, my dear girl.

Okay, honey.

Bye.

Bye

These will help you get some rest.

You said yourself you were feeling tired lately.

And you do look a bit pale.

Oh, I've been having some bad nights lately.

Some nightmares like I used to.

Why didn't you let me know?

Simon, I really don't need this.

All right, then will you do something for me?

What's that?

Will you let me try hypnosis?

Simon, that stuff's nonsense.

If it were nonsense, I wouldn't suggest it

Well, you can try if you want to, but it won't work.

You're right, it won't.

What do you mean?

Hypnosis depends upon the full cooperation and concentration of the subject

Okay.

I'll try.

That's my good girl now.

All right.

Just lie back on the couch.

Go ahead.

Back, lie your head back and relax.

Just get yourself comfortable.

Make sure you're in a real comfortable position, huh?

Okay?

Uncross your hands, dear.

That's right.

Just lay them in your lap.

All right.

Is that comfortable?

That's good.

Now, I want you to watch the crystal

That's right.

That's right.

That's right.

All right.

Now close your eyes.

Just close them.

That's right.

Now I want you to listen to the furthest away sound that you can hear.

Now slowly open your eyes again.

Very slowly.

Now your eyes are getting heavy.

You're getting sleepy, sleepy, very heavy.

You wanna sleep?

That's right.

Let them go.

Let them go.

Let them go.

Give into her, give in, give in, let them close.

Sleep, sleep.

Now you're going deeper, deeper, deeper

Susan, can you hear me?

I'm staying with mommy

What's your name?

Is your name Susan Farrell?

No.

I'm Susan Walker.

How old are you?

Ten.

What's the matter, Susan?

What's the matter?

Nobody bottoming in the grill

Oh!

Oh, I hate Edgar!

I don't want to go with you, Ancora.

I don't like you.

I hate you.

I want mommy!

I want my mommy!

What's the matter, Susan?

Where are you now?

Safe.

Where?

I'm in the mausoleum.

What crux name is?

Didn't know I exist.

Who are you?

Susan, listen to me.

When I count to three, you wake up.

You remember nothing of what happened.

Ride back down.

Very slow.

So back down, Susan.

You will be relaxed and rested.

One, two, three.

Open your eyes slowly.

Very slowly.

How do you feel?

I feel fine.

Good.

That's good.

No more nightmares?

I'm sure you'll get a very good night's rest.

Yeah.

Thank you, Simon.

Give my best to Oliver.

I will

Dr.

Logan, please.

Dr.

Andrews.

Thank you

Ronnie Simon.

Yeah, yeah, yes, it has been a while.

I'm fine.

Just fine.

And you?

I'm glad.

From what I've been reading in the journals, your lecture tours have been a big success.

No, no, no.

As a matter of fact, I didn't call about the tour.

Rony.

Ronie, I've got a problem.

No, no, no.

It's a patient.

Look let me explain.

My initial diagnosis was extreme schizophrenic regression.

Just a second.

Just want to gather myself phony.

It was extreme schizophrenic regression.

manifested by inner impulses and outer physical projection, including vocal and facial fantasies

Yes.

Yes, one session just now.

Ronnie, I have never seen anything like this before.

It's one of the reasons that prompted this call.

Look, look, I I'm too close to this one.

I've been treating her since she was a child.

She's 30 years old now.

Yes.

Yeah, yes, there is a history of possession.

Oh you didn't know I exist

Now this by itself I can explain as classic vocal schizophrenic manifestations.

Oh, the demon voice, I admit, is unique.

But the physical changes.

Unbelievable.

What sort of changes, Simon?

I saw a green light emanating from Susan's eyes.

Look, Ronie, I I I'm not in the habit of seeing my patients light up.

No.

Simon, if this is demonic possession, some of my suggestions may seem very unscientific.

Look, Simon, if you're too close, too involved personally.

You'll have to step aside.

I am that close.

I'm that involved.

That's why I can't step aside.

All right.

Then leave me the tapes and the diary and the medical history, okay?

Roni.

I really need your help with this one.

Susan?

Did you hurt yourself?

Honey, come down here

Susan, what happened with this phone?

Susan, are you alright?

I'm here, Oliver.

I'm sorry, honey.

I was taking a nap.

Session with Simon just drained me.

Listen, come down.

That's what I have to talk to you about, all right?

Oliver, can't it wait till morning?

No, it can't wait till morning.

We have to talk about it now, Susan.

I'm just too tired now.

It'll have to wait till morning.

Susan, what do you mean you're too tired now?

Susan?

Look at these

Look, Ronnie, we both know these are just textbook manifestations.

You still don't understand, Simon.

You have read the diary.

You're an intelligent professional.

Everything you saw was detailed in the diary.

The possession's already begun, Simon.

I'm trying to- All right, all right.

It's just that it's so hard for me for me to believe this

What do we have to do, Ronnie?

Oh, not we.

You.

Use what's already been outlined in the diary.

I read the part about Susan's father's life and death.

The answer is right in front of you.

Do you honestly believe this is going to work?

It's the only chance you have.

You must use the crown of thorns.

It'll neutralize the possession.

Who is it?

Who

Oliver.

Sorry to barge in on you like this, Simon.

That's perfectly all right.

And we have to do something now.

We are.

I would like you to meet my colleague, Dr.

Logan, would you?

Hello, Mr.

Farrell.

I've been assisting Dr.

Andrews

What he's about to tell you is gonna be very difficult for you to believe, but please try.

Tell me what?

What is she talking about?

Does the name Nomed mean anything to you?

Well, there's no time on her.

I've got to tell you.

I've never given any credence to the idea of religion, God, the devil, having any foundation in relationship to human behavior.

But in Susan's case, there is no other explanation.

Explanation?

Explanation of what?

What are you talking about?

What's wrong with my wife?

She's not your wife.

The woman you're living with looks like Susan.

She looks exactly like your wife, but she's not your wife.

Are you trying to tell me that Susan's losing her mind?

I mean, I mean, am I losing my wife?

Is that what's happening?

It's a power.

A demon.

A demon.

It's demonic possession of the firstborn of every woman of the nomad family.

She is possessed.

You understand that?

Possessed.

It's a demon, Allah.

Oh, she's demon-possessed.

I see.

That is correct.

Now the book tells it all.

It is possession of the first bale born of the new med women.

Now, we need your help.

We need it desperately.

We have to confine her.

We have to put her away so that we- No, I'm not going to confine her.

There's gotta be another way.

There has to be another solution to this.

And we have no alternative

I'm going to have to follow the diary's instructions, Oliver.

Go home.

I'll be there tonight.

But don't get too close to Susan.

Obviously, we're not going to be able to confine her.

What do you suggest?

Go to the mausoleum and get that crown of thorns.

And place it on Susan's head tonight before it's too late.

It is very unusual, isn't it?

I have another one, similar in feeling, but this one has been sold.

I want this.

I'm sorry.

I told you.

It's been sold.

I don't care.

How much do you want for this?

I can't sell you something that isn't mine.

Uh excuse me.

How much is this one?

Hey lady, goddammit, bring that back.

Wait a second, it isn't mine

Damn it, Lady, bring it back here.

It isn't Ma!

What the hell is this?

It's five o'clock.

What are you doing in bed?

Susan.

Susan.

Susan, wake up.

We have to talk.

Oh, it's too early, Oliver.

No, we have to talk now.

It's not too early.

Oh, no more, Oliver.

No more.

I did what you wanted.

I saw Simon and there's nothing wrong with me.

I mean, there is something wrong with you.

Look at this.

What is this?

What the hell's going on here?

What is this, huh?

There's something wrong with you.

I like that painting

Susan, you have to communicate with me.

If you don't, I can't help you.

Simon can't help you.

No one can help you.

Fuck Simon.

Uh Susie, uh, I'm sorry about this afternoon.

Keep the painting if you like.

Oh boy.

Why don't you leave things alone?

Hey, Susie, it was just a plate.

And don't call me Susie!

I hate it!

Hey, what's got into you tonight anyway, for Christ's sakes?

I was only trying to help you.

Yeah?

Well, why don't you help with these then?

You didn't know I said.

Susan

You look so tired.

Come here.

Come here.

You know, if anything were ever to happen to you, I don't know what I'd do.

I mean, it's okay.

Sure.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Popular problem.

Popular problem

Hi, Uncle Simon.

How do you like this?

What are you doing with that, Susan?

Oh nothing.

Just remembering.

Have you seen Oliver?

Where is he?

He's late again, Simon.

I think he's been working too hard

I think it's because he loves me.

I know that.

There's something very special about loving Oliver and living in this house.

This house, it has a lot of memories for you, doesn't it, Susan?

I was so happy when I was a little girl here, and mommy and daddy loved each other so much.

I think that's why mommy died.

Because she just couldn't live without That's not why she died.

She died because of the curse of the nomad women it's the Sable the Sable

that's within you.

I am going to finish what your father died trying to do.

Susan, Susan, come on.

Susan.

Quickly, come on there.

Come on.

Come on, Susan.

Sorry, where am I?

Come on, we have no time, sir.

Susan, you know what has to be done.

Simon, I don't.

I can't.

Susan, it's possible.

You have to do it.

You released it as a child.

Only you can return it.

There's no more time.

You must do it now.

Simon, I don't understand.

There's a lot I have to explain to you, Susan.

But where's Oliver?

Later, later

And they bring the lid on your pain, they looping.

You've known the secret and lived with it, like your father before you and his father before him.

Remember.

No one goes into the mausoleum.

No one.
