Dang.

Old house.

You ain't gonna get the ropes, eh?

You're just a house, it's all you are.

Foolishness.

It's just what this is, damn foolishness.

It mean nothing.

Just gotta come in this time of day.

Never came inside this house before.

Some newcomer.

Damn.

Clean up all this sloppy old mess.

Who's there?

You come on out now.

Come out now, you hear me?

Are you...

You're just better...

You better begone!

I'll wait all hell out of ya!

Coming down now.

Coming down there.

It don't mean nothing.

Couple of kids.

Come on out now.

I'm coming in now.

Really come out now.

It ain't nothing!

There you go, Mr. Arnold.

Sorry this took so long.

What seem to be the problem, Mr. Decker?

Oh the usual backround check, you understand?

Even with your length of experiences in drug rehabilitation,

some of the blood members have certain questions.

We were sure your center would be a beneficial operation,

but your foundation was so new.

So, we decided to take a more cautious approach.

If you had an affiliation with an organized church...

I regard most organized churches as organized hypocrisy.

That's a rather strong opinion, isn't it?

Now we both know the weak opinion

serve no purpose, don't we?

Oh yes, that's very true.

The caretaker was supposed to meet us out front.

Sam!

Maybe he's inside?

Possible.

Probably found a bottle.

Sam?

Sam, are you in there?

Sam?

Oh, please come in.

Please come in.

Sam!

- No lights? - I'm afraid not.

Most of the wiring gave out years ago.

But that's the only drawback.

Let me fix this here.

There.

Yeah, let me fix this.

There we are.

There haven't been any permanent residents here for years.

Old Mr. Vargas built this, he died

in his 30s.

Old at 30?

Just a figure of speech.

And the stories of old men becomes old.

It said his hair turned white

and only glimpses of him were ever seen

after his 30th birthday.

That was before the war, the Civil War that is.

After that, it was converted to a conservatory

for young women.

And the music room so happened then.

But the school closed it.

This was the main dining room.

Cozy.

It was vacant for several years

before the county took it over.

Then it came under the supervision

of the redevelopment bureau at the turn of the century.

There's been no one in here all that time?

Yours was the only inquiry my office processed

in quite a while.

Beautiful.

Yes.

The Indians gave this spot a wide berth.

There were sulfur pits and steam pools.

Valley of the Devils, their legends call it.

That's why Vargas built this, so they say.

Built it right over a fumarole.

Wanted the heat.

Heated the mineral baths.

Who knows?

It is beautiful.

It's so strangely desolate.

It didn't make much difference.

Geothermal activity stopped just about

the time the house was finished.

Just dried out like he put a seal on it.

Well, big enough.

I don't know.

It's gonna take an awful lot of work.

Hopefully you have volunteers.

There's nearly 200 rooms in the main building,

and the caretakers housing in the back.

Sam's not too reliable though.

I don't think you would wanna keep him on.

Every time I need him, he's off some place else.

But that'll be no big problem from you.

You've got all the volunteers you need.

I think everything's just gonna be fine.

It was vacant for several years

before the county took it over.

Of course there was some opposition

to you taking the place, you know?

But that's not much of anything.

Caroline, what are you doing?

Something wrong?

Guess these 18-hour days are getting me.

What's down here? - More rooms

loaded with rooms.

You mentioned some opposition, Mr. Decker.

Well, you always get that no matter what you wanna do.

Some of the people around here

felt that the house should be left vacant.

There was even a movement one time

to have the house torn down.

But the Vargas house is a historical landmark.

Why would they wanna tear the house down?

Oh, noises and accidents in and around the place.

Everything one normally associates

with overactive imaginations.

Stories get started about any old house

that's been vacant for a while.

What kind of stories?

Oh just stories.

Just old wives' tale.

Look out!

Oh my God!

Are you all right? - I'm all right.

I'm fine, I'm fine. - You're fine?

You could've been hurt! - I'm terribly sorry.

Mr. Decker, no need to apologize.

It wasn't your fault.

Would you stop fussing, huh?

Am I bleeding?

Are you sure you're all right?

Would you stop fussing?

It's not that serious.

That doesn't mean that that's all right.

Mr. Decker, can I give you a piece of advice?

Never marry a doctor.

In spite of all of your stories,

I think we're ready to go ahead with this right away.

Oh excellent!

Excellent, Mr. Arnold.

We can stop by my office to sign the lease agreement.

Fine.

I'll call some of my volunteers

to see if we can move here quickly.

Disturb not he who is here

held in chains.

I think from now on any stories about this place

would have an all different ring.

Caroline?

The laws of physics are logical.

Positive, constant.

Not so the world of psychology.

But light, concentrated, powerful.

Light in the form of knowledge,

compassion, understanding, can open up a mind

or if misused can destroy it

just as surely as that laser disintegrated its target.

Oh by the way I'd like to thank you all

for your dedication this semester.

Some of you by accident or by design

will be back next semester.

My thesis is finished.

By then I'll have my PhD in a shingle

so you won't have to listen to me anymore.

Anyway, I hope you've learned something worthwhile here.

Have a nice summer.

That was very well done, Professor.

I should call you doctor, shouldn't I?

How about Your Excellency?

Now that has a nice ring to it.

It's got something.

Oh by the way, CJ called this afternoon

and we're to be out there at 9 o'clock in the morning.

- They got the place? - Yup!

That's fantastic.

You can count on the job this summer.

Great, finally!

I cleared it with the Dean's Office,

so my lady you'll be getting three credits

for your work this summer at the center.

Oh, I can't thank you enough.

Please, Miss Belman.

Not so familiar, if you don't mind?

Where should we go?

Your place or mine?

You're crazy, you know that?

That's not a very helpful thing for a psychologist to say.

You're still crazy but you are a beauty.

And I have you all to myself all summer.

Oh wait a minute.

You've already got the job, what else do you want?

There's gotta be something.

- I'd hate to ask. - You're a smart boy.

I need this summer, too.

It's the best possible practical demonstration

of what CJ is doing in his field.

And it's what I wanna do in mine...

- Hey, hey, hey. - What?

- Dinner tonight, Professor. - Right.

To celebrate.

Champagne?

My place.

"My place".

Your place.

Then we can run up the rain pipe

on the second floor later on.

Hey, how you doing?

Yeah, you help me a great, Miss CJ.

Hey, a storm's brewing up here

and it might give us some trouble.

How you doing, CJ? - Good, good.

What do you think of this place?

What should I tell ya?

Nothing that ain't big, that's for damn sure.

- Sam let you in? - Sam?

Sam who? - Caretaker.

I didn't see a caretaker 'round here.

Did you look around the back?

Yeah, I'd been back there and saw nobody.

Well I guess Decker was right,

Sam's reliability quotient seems a bit flawed.

CJ, can I have the keys, please?

Oh yeah.

Here you go.

Hey, watch your step there.

Think you could get us some light today?

Well, let me get a shot, CJ.

The generator ain't working too good

and this storm coming 'round would give us

some more problems, you know?

I don't wanna push you too hard.

Not the prices I'm paying you.

If it wouldn't for you, my brother

would be on ice.

See anybody wandering around this place

that looks like a caretaker?

- What's wrong? - The statue.

Look!

Look at what?

I thought I saw...

Saw what?

I thought I saw...

Saw what?

I thought I saw it move.

You thought you saw it move?

I don't see any difference.

Could've been the light, the shadows in the room.

I don't know.

I guess it had to be, didn't it?

Yeah, I think it had to be.

Here we go.

Hey, where's the welcoming committee?

Hello, hello, hello! - Anybody home?

- CJ? - Hello!

- Here's some munchies. - Yeah, very funny, Pete.

Oh God, Pete, when are you gonna grow up?

What's the matter with you?

That joke's a classic. - So are you.

Hey, Dwight!

I want you to meet some people.

What do you think, huh?

- Oh well. - CJ, this place is enormous.

Yeah, really what do we need all this space for?

Well let me put it this way, the price was right.

Okay, fine we'll take it.

Dwight, I'd like you to meet Mary Harper.

And this is Felicia Allen.

Things are looking up for you.

What's your name? - Mary.

How you doing?

They're in our drug rehabilitation program.

And our resident coot, Pete Brooks.

God, you forgot someone.

Kaiser here.

Kaiser!

What's he doing?

Oh not much, but when he talks everyone listens.

I hope he's house broke.

- Hey Raymond! - Hey CJ!

Dwight, this is Raymond Guy.

And it looks like he brought a new recruit.

That we do.

My friend and student, Miss Laurie Belman.

- Hello. - Better and better.

How you doing? - One of those guys, huh?

The first thing we have to do obviously

is clean the place. - Oh bummer.

Not everything at once.

It's gonna take us a month.

So we'll start with a few bedrooms

and I think we gotta do the dining room,

then do the bathroom,

and we'll do the kitchen.

The risk of sounding like a male chauvinist,

I think the ladies should do the kitchen?

Oh no, no, no.

None of that.

Well, if the ladies are displeased with their assignment,

they can volunteer to help Pete and I

'cause we're gonna clean the toilets.

Oh great.

Up to my ass in toilets.

What about lights?

Don't we need some lights?

Oh we got the cleaning stuff in town.

Good.

Hey, I hate to break out the good time wrap here, boss,

but I gotta get back to work or we'll be here forever.

I hope all the fireplaces work.

Yeah, the fireplaces all work.

And so Felicia can relax.

Dwight, what about the lights?

I don't think the city's gonna connect us for about a week.

Yeah, I think you're right.

Well, I got a pretty good looking crew here,

we should get some work out of them.

Huh, Felicia fox?

Mary sunshine.

Frame of lancer, you're for something, huh?

Gil should have our first generator set up by now.

We'll get some work lights in here.

And then tomorrow we're gonna have three generators working.

We're starting the ground floor now

and there's gonna be cables strung out all over,

so you guys try not to step on 'em.

Don't go chewing on things like that.

And that's about it, boss.

Well, okay.

Yeah, if we're gonna get this place in shape,

it's gonna take a lot of work.

We really gotta get our asses together.

We can get this done.

I think that does it.

Let's get to work.

- All right! - Check by me.

Has anybody seen Kaiser?

Maybe he's in the hall.

That's Kaiser!

Kaiser?

Where is he hiding? - It sounds like

it's coming from underneath us.

CJ, where's the basement?

I don't know.

There's gotta be a door on this floor.

I gotta go outside.

Hey, Pete, check the hall.

- Kaiser? - Kaiser!

- Kaiser! - Kaiser!

- Kaiser! - Kaiser?

- Got anything? - Yeah.

Kaiser! - Kaiser!

CJ!

Kaiser's here in the basement.

CJ, hurry, in the basement.

I think he's down here.

We're gonna need a lantern.

Wait, don't go down there yet.

Call him again.

Kaiser?

CJ!

Let me go first.

Come on.

Careful.

Kaiser!

Do you see him?

Kaiser?

Kaiser, here boy!

This place really gives me the creeps.

Kaiser!

CJ?

- Kaiser! - Hey, are you all right?

He's never been vicious in his whole life.

I don't understand.

Well at least he didn't get his teeth into you.

There.

I think you're gonna be okay.

We looked everywhere, Mary.

I don't think he could've gotten out of the house,

so we'll find him.

What's made him behave that way?

Well, something frightened him.

He's never acted that way before in his whole life.

I've had him since he was a puppy.

Well if he's hiding, when he gets over it he'll come out.

Hey, you're gonna be all right, huh?

Yeah.

Why don't I go upstairs and do some work?

No, I don't think you should.

Why don't you just lie down and rest for a while?

No, really.

It'd be good for my head to get away.

- Sure? - Yeah.

Okay.

Come on, Mary.

Let's go find something to do.

Don't worry about it, we'll find him.

CJ, this place frightens me.

What do you mean?

I feel there's something in here.

- What? - I don't know.

There's something evil.

Caroline, that thing with the dog

can be explained very simply.

No, I don't think it can.

Dogs react to things we don't know anything about.

Now you saw him down there. - Yeah.

Well you can't honestly believe

he was just afraid of the dark?

Yes, I can because I know that's all it could be.

Oh, CJ, I'm frightened.

Caroline, I know an incident like this

can frighten anybody.

But for a doctor, you have a very, very vivid imagination,

you know that?

You all right?

Well, I'm gonna go crack the whip.

Why don't you guys bring that sofa here

in front of the fireplace, would you please?

You got it, boss.

Hey, Joe!

Come here, need a pair of hands.

Diary of Emilio Vargas.

Caroline, I thought I heard something drop.

Wow, you started a fire, good.

What's this?

Diary of Emilio Vargas.

He must have led a very eventful life.

The pages are all blank.

Wait a minute.

Here's something.

Whatever strong and noble soul would set

the holy seal upon the gate.

What is this?

He'll guard that place in life and death

till time is no more that no man will set loose

the beast within.

I saw him.

You saw who?

The man who built this house.

I saw him.

He lit this fire.

Caroline.

The man who built this house was an eccentric

who's been dead for more than a century.

Now this is an interesting book, but that's all it is.

Just an interesting old document.

So the fire Raymond or Dwight

or one of the other workmen probably started.

This sounds weird but I think

there's something here.

I think that he's trying to tell us...

Who's trying to tell us?

We're being warned to get out.

Well, I can take a hint.

This is going to be one hellacious storm

before it's done. - Yup.

Is my back killing me!

God.

Why are these bars here?

I dunno.

I guess to keep students in probably.

I don't like it.

I think it's really weird.

Give me a hand.

Oh, sorry, I'm sorry.

Here, just take this.

What was that? - Who knows, who cares.

Got it? - Yeah.

- Better? - Yeah.

I've been wanting to ask you something.

It's personal, I really didn't know how to begin.

So I guess I'm just gonna ask you,

how did you get into this group?

Let me show you something.

You see that, those freckles?

CJ got me off the horse.

He saved my life.

That answer your question?

Yeah.

Oh my goodness.

Oh my God.

You bastard!

Hey come on.

It's a joke.

Hey, where's your sense of humor?

I'm sorry, it was just a joke.

Felicia, get me down, would you?

Well if you think you're so goddamn funny, asshole,

then you get your own self down.

Come on, Laurie, let this fool help himself.

Hey, come on!

I really am sorry.

Felicia, would you help me down?

Come on!

CJ, you're not going down the basement, are you?

I'm afraid I can't bring the furnace up here.

Please, I wish you wouldn't.

If I see any ghosts, I'll tell yah.

When are we guys splitting?

In about 15 minutes.

Well do we have enough time to take another

look for Kaiser?

I don't wanna him staying in this space for himself tonight.

Yeah, sure, we'll wait for you.

Take somebody with you.

Okay.

Oh Felicia!

- Ray? - Yeah.

- Can we talk for a sec? - Sure.

What conditions would there have to be

seeing a house like this

to cause the appearance of figures?

Okay, if you were a dog, where would you go?

Are you trying to be funny, lady?

No, I'm not trying to be funny,

I'm trying to be logical about this.

Well logic's got nothing to do with it.

I don't even think we should be trying

to figure out what scared him so bad in the first place.

Yeah, maybe you're right.

Okay, then what do you think it was?

I think it was dumbass Pete if he hadn't been

in the same room with us.

No, you should've seen the trick he pulled on us.

Scared that little old girl half to death.

Him and his practical jokes.

Actually I shouldn't be so hard on him though.

You know, he really does come through when it counts.

I just hope he doesn't pull that trick

on the wrong dude and end up spending

the rest of his life trying to yank his head

out of his hind then.

Hey!

What is this?

Some kind of dumb weight or something, I guess.

Wait!

Kaiser?

Kaiser?

Kaiser?

CJ, come up to the kitchen, quick!

CJ, hurry!

Caroline!

Hey!

Babe, you all right?

Look out!

Let's get the hell out of here.

Come on!

You all right?

Caroline?

CJ, let's get out here.

Come on!

Gimme that.

All right, now, come on.

All the windows are locked.

I want out!

Pete, are you all right?

Yeah, yeah.

Come on, dining room.

CJ!

Felicia, what happened?

CJ! - My God.

This house.

It's this house!

Pete, come here!

Don't you see that?

We're not gonna get out of here.

We're not ever getting out of here,

don't you know that?

Don't you see that?

We're locked in!

Look around!

We're locked in.

We're not gonna get out.

We're never getting out!

Look at it.

Shut up!

Look at me.

It's all right.

Darling, it's all right.

Come on, babe.

Come on, come on.

It's all right.

It's all right.

Shh.

Well, I think you're gonna be all right.

But you better rest a bit, okay?

Caroline, what is happening in this house?

I don't know.

Anyway, you hit your head pretty hard,

so I think you better not move around too much.

I don't think you have a fracture but

you might have a slight concussion,

so just take it easy, all right?

Okay, thank you.

I'll come back and see you in a while.

All right, Dwight's dead.

The other man's body we found in the kitchen,

and we are all locked in here.

Those are the facts.

Does anybody have a logical explanation

for what's happening?

Okay, now, suppose that over the years

this house could soak up

some of the natural power around it.

I mean the atmospheric conditions

like some of the ones that exist outside today.

Now that power could suddenly be released.

There has to be more to it than that.

Well, maybe there is but little theory

is as good as anything I've heard so far.

I think it does have something to do with the storm.

What?

I don't know.

Great.

That's not much of a theory either.

Well, it could help, couldn't it?

I mean, the doors won't open,

glass that doesn't break.

Well you know that static electricity

does incredibly weird things sometimes, Randy,

you know that.

Could that have been what made Kaiser go crazy?

No, it's not the storm.

It's something else.

Now how do you know that?

Well I don't know.

But the I think the key to all of it is in the diary.

- Caroline. - What diary?

I found an old diary in the study.

And all the pages were blank except one.

And that was a riddle.

No, it was a verse.

I think it must be a warning of some kind.

How do you know that?

Well I've seen flashes of this figure.

I have.

It's just a shape almost, but I have seen it.

I saw it just over there.

And he waved me into the study

and there was the diary.

And I've seen other things too.

Are they visions?

I don't know what they are.

They're flashes of something.

There must have been some great conflict in this house.

Between what?

Good and evil?

You mean between God and the devil?

I don't know.

Well you can all sit here and discuss

theology if you want.

I'm gonna try to find a way out of here.

Hold on, CJ.

I'm coming with you.

Help!

Somebody!

- What was that? - Come on.

It's all right, it's all right.

You're all right.

It's all right, come on.

Come on, it's all right.

What happened, huh?

What happened?

Come on.

He kept hitting me and slapping me.

She's hysterical.

She had a nightmare.

Felicia, there's nobody here.

There's nobody here, you're all alone.

CJ, help me get her out of here

and down by the fire. - Come on, come on.

- Come on. - Come on.

Atta girl.

You're all right. - Grab her.

You're all right.

Until we find out what's going on here,

keep everybody together.

Don't let anybody wander off alone, all right?

Good idea.

Pete, grab some cable!

The door's open!

- CJ! - Yeah, up here!

I brought all I could find.

Is this gonna be enough?

It better be.

Shouldn't I go get the others?

I'll try it first.

If I make it, you will bring the rest of 'em up.

You?

With all due respect, Doctor,

I think I should be going over the side first.

I can make it.

Oh yeah, I'm sure you can

but we don't know how much weight this stuff can take.

I hate to mention it but you could afford

to lose a few pounds.

Well Pete you're my responsibility.

I brought you all into this.

I'm not gonna risk your life.

Nobody pulled a gun on me.

I came out here on my own.

Face it, Doctor, I'm 20 years younger than you.

Come on, Doc.

You don't have to prove anything to me, all right?

Yeah, you're right.

Okay.

Okay.

Easy, go slow, Pete!

Slow, Pete, slow!

You're swaying.

Watch it, hold on!

Hold on!

Hold on, Pete!

CJ!

CJ!

I can't take this.

I can't take it!

CJ, do something!

Hold on, Pete.

Hold on!

Hold on, Pete!

God help me, CJ!

Oh my God.

I couldn't help him.

I tried but there was nothing I could do.

There's Dwight, and then the man in the kitchen,

now Pete.

This house is trying to kill us all.

Oh God, it's not the house.

It's something in the house!

Well, that's unfortunate

because we're in here with it.

The wind came up and the storm got worse.

And...

I tried.

And then he fell.

I'm sorry.

It was my fault.

It was a stupid thing to try.

Couldn't it just have been the lightning

hitting the cable?

Yeah.

Yeah it had to be that.

What do you mean "It had to be that?"

There's some other force working here,

and I think it's about time you admitted it.

You were always the first one to look

for a new answer and I think

this is one hell of a good time to start.

It had to be the lightning.

Nothing has to be anything here.

All right.

That's easy for you to say.

And then you follow it up with nothing

but hollow theories based on your own

overactive imagination!

And where did I get my overactive imagination?

I sat on my dead ass in your psych class for five years.

You rammed it down my throat every day.

- Wait a minute! - No, it doesn't matter.

It's just that everything you ever accomplished

was done by exploration,

taking chances and imagination.

And if I didn't believe that,

if I didn't believe in you, I wouldn't be here.

And neither would anyone else.

So don't tell me now

that it was a bunch of high minded bullshit

because I know better.

I know better.

And so do you.

I guess...

I guess imagination will have to work for us here.

I agree, professor.

What do you know?

The generator's still working.

Take a look at that.

The damn teeth are almost smooth.

Yeah, rounded right off.

It's almost as though this door was petrified.

Dwight must have had it here braid.

- Where's the tool case? - In the kitchen.

I'll get it.

Caroline?

Caroline?

I don't know how we're gonna get out of here.

Come on.

CJ, do you remember what Mr. Decker said

about this house?

The legends, the sulfur pits?

- Yeah. - He said they dried up.

But all the disturbances ended when the house was built.

I think Vargas knew what he was doing.

- Caroline... - Haven't you noticed

just as the house closed in on us

the whole place stinks of sulfur.

Look, I can only fight what I believe exists.

Oh God!

That saw's not gonna work.

Nothing is gonna work.

Maybe it's not.

The lightning rods.

Lightning!

I saw lightning rods in every peak of this house

when we drove in this morning.

If we still have enough of Dwight's cable left to reach

in the collector to these bars,

maybe we can create an energy field.

Generate enough heat to try to bend them.

CJ, that's not gonna work.

Would it hurt to try?

No.

Help!

Somebody help!

Oh no!

Mary, go upstairs quickly in the middle closet

and get something for bandages.

How can I help?

Get me a stick, a little piece of wood, anything.

It's gonna be all right. - CJ, I'll get my bag.

Caroline...

Caroline, it's me.

It's me.

Mary.

Oh God!

Oh.

You found her.

Did you see?

What that thing did to her...

It's the dog, it's the dog.

When am I gonna make you see?

It's something inside the dog.

I heard that thing screaming and laughing.

It's inside the dog. - I can't accept that.

I can't accept that, I wish to God I could, but I can't!

I can't.

Where are the others?

They're in the solarium.

Ray.

Oh my God, his hand! - I sutured it.

Big chance that he could lose it.

Oh God.

CJ.

Oh God.

It's all right, it's all right, it's all right.

Now try to get some rest.

Theoretically it could take out the whole wall

even if it doesn't, this entire place

will light up like a Christmas tree.

That should get a little attention, if nothing else.

Jesus Christ, Raymond, what makes you think

somebody can break in if we can't even get out?

A little chance we're taking.

- Ray! - We're in here.

CJ, you have any ideas how we can get out of here?

No logical ones, I'm afraid.

Where's Mary's body?

I put it in the entrance way by the stairs.

The dog was there but Mary's body's gone.

CJ?

Oh my God!

You can't do this!

Fight back!

God help me!

I found this in the basement

but I don't remember bringing it up here.

Where was it?

It was staying on the floor.

Vargas showed me.

Vargas?

Why am I the only one that sees him?

You believe in God?

I covered all this in my classes.

The psychology of religion.

Folk tales, legends.

The idea of some supreme universal force,

endlessly at war against devils and demons.

As something as intangible as a human soul.

I never believed any of it.

I made cocktail party jokes about it.

I can't believe I'm worth all this.

There's no one in the world exactly like you.

What about you?

And Raymond and Felicia and the others?

Aren't they unique?

You're the one he wants.

But why me?

Why me?

I don't know.

Vargas is trying to help us, I know.

There has to be a key to this prison.

The diary.

Remember what you said?

The key is in the diary.

There's nothing but just blank pages.

Wait, wait.

Here.

I saw an angel come down from heaven

having the key of the bottomless pit

and a great chain in his hand

and laid hold on the dragon,

I was certain which is the devil and Satan,

and bound him a thousand years.

What's all that supposed to mean?

It's Satan's return from the depths, Revelations.

It's the devil and Satan,

and bound him a thousand years

and cast him into the bottomless pit

and shut him up and set a seal upon him

that he shall deceive the nations no more

till the thousand years should be fulfilled.

And when the thousand years are expired,

Satan shall be loose out of his prison.

Get back!

Oh my God!

Where are you?

Get out!

Get out of my head!

Raymond, now or what?

Laurie, get downstairs and hook this damn cable up.

Okay!

Laurie!

I hope you know what you're doing.

This thing looks like it can fry us all!

There!

I'm set.

All right.

Connect it.

You go throw the switch, I'll fix that connection.

It's all right, we've got enough.

No!

I'll hook it up.

I want out of here.

All right, hurry up though.

This storm's in its height right now.

- It'll just take me a second. - Then hurry!

I'm free!

I'm free!

I'm free!

I'm free!

I'm free!

No!

You're not getting me!

Caroline...

Caroline, what is it?

Caroline?

I am Emilio Vargas.

What's happening?

I sacrificed the innocent caretaker

to force you away.

You would not heed my warnings.

No, no.

I sealed the pit.

And you released the evil!

I didn't know.

I didn't know.

The key is in your hands.

Seal the pit.

Return the beast.

Do not disturb this place again.

Caroline.

Caroline, Vargas come back!

Caroline!

I need to know more, Caroline!

Caroline.

Caroline.

Did you hear the voice?

Did you hear the words?

I have to go back down there.

The prophecy was right, wasn't it?

There's nothing else left worse to believe in, is there?

Caroline?

Oh God.

You're okay, you're okay.

You're okay.

Come on, let me help you back up.

The cross, where is it?

The cross! - What?

I can't find it.

We gotta find it.

No!

Oh God, I'm sorry. - It's all right.

We've gotta find it.

Forgive me.

Forgive me, but you are an endless source of amusement.

What is it you want?

There.

See what I mean?

After all I put you through and you still don't know.

You did all that?

No, Mr. Arnold, you did.

You denied the warnings, you opened the door,

and still you couldn't accept what you've done.

You pondered the deeper meaning

of a universal power for good.

Sound familiar?

What is it you want from me?

My accounts.

I filled my accounts.

You have a will, Mr. Arnold.

Strong, sometimes misdirected, but a will.

So you have some value even among your kind.

By the way, where is that piece of holy excrement?

Your cross.

It's a thing of God.

How could it come here?

Don't question me, I have little enough patience.

That thing shall be destroyed

and you are going to see it done.

Where is it?

I feed on terror, Mr. Arnold.

Your puny fears give birth to it

and you suckle it like swine till it overcomes you.

No, I won't!

This can last an eternity.

It brings nothing for me, causes me no discomfort.

I expend nothing to hold you here

and place you in pain far greater

than anything you could imagine possible.

I'll snap your stubborn will.

I want that thing.

You defy me, you insignificant speck of vomit!

Come here.

Oh God!

Oh God.

Please.

Go ahead, invoke His name.

Snivel, you filthy little scum.

Oh please let me die!

Beg!

Oh God!

There is no respite for you here.

Caroline, the cross!

See if you can find some rope that can reach here.

Good. - Okay.

Okay, get this end.

Bring the cross!

It's closing!

Also in the laboratory.

While they can feed themselves, continue living.

And much more vivid, grow more.

Fantastic!

I recognize that does not seem very scientific.

But if they take a most reasonable explanation,

to give. I would be very Happy to hear it.

Want to tell us that the slit, came a strange creature?

I do not mean anything.

Only presented a theory based on the facts.

What should we look for?

I do not know.

And if we find something?

What do we do?

Also not the answer.

What size can have this thing?

Could be the size of a fist ...

or the size of this home.

We must do something.

We have to find it and destroy it.

Destroy it?

What do you think? Burn it, shoot him, blow him up?

I have something to say.

Just tell us a story

based on few facts and a great deal of theory.

I'm surprised they have accepted this story

without any hesitation.

I must say that all this sounds fantastic to me.

And I will say more, to me, seems bullshit.

Dr. Royston, you're a scientist and based on the facts.

A man of his intelligence, has no right to talk like that.

Surprises me.

And burns boy?

Already talked about this.

And the incident at the hospital?

I assure you that has a most logical explanation.

I suggest we leave the subject the hands of police.

I'm the police ...

come and ask for advice Dr. Royston.

In this case, I do not want waste any more time.

Good evening, gentlemen.

I see you share this view.

May present something.

The only thing we can do, is go to the cleft.

We've been there several times ...

and has nothing.

Do not misunderstand me, someone has to get off the crack.

I'm ready.

Peter, if you do not have why continue.

You have nothing to worry about.

I offered myself as a volunteer.

That's right, Adam.

Ok, Peter.

Thank you.

The boss did not like it.

Or anyone.

Called the center's director.

Said that all this is a waste of time.

We end up in getting into trouble.

Maybe not, but I fulfill orders.

All ready, sir!

Okay, Peter?

Yes of course.

What's the plan?

If the spectrometer radioactivity noted,

let us know and you'll pull from there.

Right.

Let's go.

Slowly.

Nothing.

I see nothing.

Lower more.

All right, sir?

Slower.

Nothing.

Stop it!

High.

Come down a bit.

Simply.

You are right, sir?

He's fine.

What happened?

It's okay, but it has something strange, sir.

No, there is nothing, everything well, continue falling.

Continue falling.

Stop it! I said, stop!

Oh my God!

Get me out!

Come on, quick! Get me out!

Hurry!

Come on, guys!

Please get me out!

Faster, faster!

You were right, sir.

I saw the corpse of a soldier.

Was charred.

Okay, do not worry. Let's get out of here.

What did you see down there?

I do not know what it was, seemed like a nightmare.

So I ran danger ...

We'll talk about that. Now get in the car.

Gave the order that if they saw something strange downstairs, I went into action, sir.

What kind of action?

Kill whatever and capping with cement.

Capping with cement?

You're not serious?

I fulfill orders.

When they start?

Tonight.

Sergeant!

I see you do not lose time anyway.

There was no other solution, do not you think?

Dr. Royston was a scientist, but that's their problem,

never understand why easy solutions.

They believe that everything has to be complicated to be effective.

Come in.

Where you been?

Hold it.

The slit.

And managed to solve?

What exactly was it used?

Practically everything

Lance-throwers, explosives and a precious tombstone cement.

Rest in peace, huh?

Think it will be useless, is not it?

It is absurd, if we into account the facts.

Give me this.

How is it possible that this force X, is it is, that has pioneered

through kilometers and kilometers of solid rock,

will not cross this simple case of cement?

Yes, but would like to survive the lance-throwers and explosives?

No living organism known, would.

But this is an organization truly special.

His system of life could look like this.

Get behind this frame.

Excuse me.

How to try to kill it?

What's this?

A particle of clay ...

because ... its structure atom emits radiation.

But it is no more than clay.

How to kill?

Has entered the London about all this?

Only a half-dozen times.

E?

At first, it Ihes looked interesting ...

They told me they would consult with the director.

Later, the director communicated with them.

The result is that I have to go back to London.

When?

Tonight. In the last plane from Glasgow.

I'm so sorry.

It was one of my best allies.

This thing again out, correct?

In my opinion, yes.

Can not do anything to prevent it.

I do not know, I have taken very time working

a disintegrating formula atomic structure,

avoiding explosion resulting therefrom. But ...

What's this?

What is a bomb?

It is a division of atomic particles, no?

Not just that, but it is something.

I try to achieve this division without the explosion.

It is a ...

See, I'll show you.

In this container has a lead atomically unstable compound.

IHE can happen to two things:

Continue emitting radiation during the next 200 years,

or be subjected to an external energy

disintegrate in the a fraction of seconds.

A bomb.

Could be, so deal to improve it.

In theory, if we put the particle between the pickups ...

and adjust the pickups to one certain vibration,

we get a neutralizing effect.

Mean that this apparatus neutralize an atomic bomb?

That would not explode?

That is the question, could not.

No longer would a bomb, but a handful of clay

within a very expensive container.

That would be awesome, Adam.

At least, we will by a good way.

Could use it against this thing.

It is possible that within six months, but ...

Tell me, Russell, What's going on?

Mr. Peter sent me, to remind you of the time.

Ah, yes. Thank you.

Russell, could locate Mr. Elliott?

So far no, sir.

Gosh! I regret. Thanks, I'm coming.

We should be analyzing cobalt, but nevertheless ...

we are not able ... locate John.

Mc.

We will feel very its lack.

Goodbye, Adam.

Good luck.

Peter, the truck is ready?

Yes You are at the door, sir.

As soon as we all cobalt I want the quick upload.

Cobalt is disabled!

Cobalt is disabled!

Okay, let's get him.

POLICE

No sir, I do not think.

I think we can go back happening.

Excuse me.

Sorry sir. The line is bad.

Yes, I will, but ...

I ask ... just one more night.

If there is no novelty, take the first plane tomorrow.

It is the sergeant talking.

Where?

Thank you, sir.

They told me that the director, Mr. Elliott is calling you.

Speak up, line malfunctions.

Thank you very much.

And the date?

Yes.

How?

What madness!

No sir, I know, but anyway ...

Agreed, good night.

Send a patrol right now.

Need a car There has been an accident.

Yes sir.

Goodbye, Sgt.

Goodbye, sir.

And we warn you when they reach the site of the accident.

They said they have We are melting.

As I said, sir?

There was an accident at about 4 km.

Yes, I know.

And what are melting?

Informed me by phone.

Should this be some ...

Let me see.

What are you doing?

I asked IHE what r u doing.

I'm sorry, sir.

Have a phone here?

Has a public, about 2 km away.

But maybe some of these people let them use their.

Have someone who has your phone?

I have the phone in my store, half miles. from here.

- You are at your disposal. - Thank you, get in the car.

Dr. Royston ...

John, just take Cobalt storer. There was no reason for ...

Who authorized you?

We had no time to consult him.

You know the importance What is this cobalt.

Will delay the project, in a couple of weeks.

Without consulting anyone. It is an important official experience.

Disables cobalt, without telling me.

This is not your lab.

Hello?

Could you speak up, please?

There currently is busy.

'm Peter Elliott.

Yes.

I'll say it right now.

Dr. Royston.

It bellowed.

Apparently it you feared most happened.

Ends killed four people who were in a car.

The line is very bad, but I think that said they are melted.

Hello, Mark. Me, Royston.

What happened?

Yes.

Yes, one moment.

Just a moment.

A pencil, please.

Tell me, yes.

Where?

Okay, okay.

I wrote it down. Goodbye.

It has a map of the area, in your office?

Yes of course.

Can we see it?

Yes, obviously.

Here is where the slit.

Here is the hospital.

Here is where we produced the brightness.

Here ...

is ... my lab.

Following this line, arrived in the old tower.

We notice that this thing detects radioactivity.

And when you do that, nothing stops her.

Go straight to the radiation and soon returns to the slit.

These lines demonstrate that always does the same path.

Finally, the successful with the car ignited, we know you're here.

If we extend the line from the fissure, this crossing point,

where to find somewhere this line, is your goal.

The Center for Atomic Energy.

Exact.

Go in search of food most immense of his life.

Come on, open this gate!

I'm coming, I'm coming.

Come on, open the gate!

Give me your identification.

Come on, as if did not know me!

Sorry, sir, give me your identification.

- Look out. - Thank you, sir.

We have to hide the Cobalt.

Have to get him out ASAP.

The thing must have a limit to detect the radiation.

We should act in haste.

Adam, I want you to know ...

never mind ..., 'll notify Security.

Gotta find?

Not yet.

Can not be far.

I gave notice to the people keep their homes.

I have all men on alert.

I tried to contact London but the lines do not work well.

Looks like you have interference.

Here we have the same problem.

Do you know if anyone saw anything?

My men saw nothing.

Why this thing can disappear?

Not disappear,

but it could change shape and to become practically invisible.

What are they doing?

We try to make this Cobalt here.

And then, Elliott? How's it going?

We have worldwide alert.

I make a call?

Ali has a phone.

But the line malfunctions.

WARNING: "It is strictly forbidden to

anyone passing beyond that point. "

- Go running to the main entrance. - Yes

Everyone out!

What we do with the Cobalt?

We can not do anything.

But if attaining, may explode.

It would be the first cobalt bomb.

Out of here!

Everyone out!

Come on, quick!

Just a moment!

There's a dead man.

Where can I see the tower?

Climb those stairs.

The whole world vacate the area!

Come on, quick! Come this way!

Our only hope, is to neutralize the radiation.

Do not tell me that cobalt is very unstable?

Yes, it is.

The guard of the entrance, dead like the others.

And this thing comes by West area.

Look. There is, on the roof.

Go up, fast!

Is increasing in size.

The dough has to expand to accumulate the radiation it absorbs.

Volume that could get to have?

The question is to what degree instability has.

We can not do anything.

We can do ...

... but not here.

We must wait until back to the slot.

We know which way to follow,

so we have to disengage from her

so as not to produce no more victim.

I'll try to get a helicopter. Thus we can achieve it,

if you change your direction.

And what will you do, Adam?

Back to my lab.

Is growing.

Who said?

Nothing. interference do not let me hear anything.

The sergeant said this thing does not move fast.

- Let's get out of here. - Okay.

Come on, quick! all to the church!

Need help, Father?

For now, no.

How far is it?

Approximately a 100 meters away.

Close this street.

When will you?

Within a couple minutes or less.

Come on lady, fast.

Come in here be safe.

There is.

Changed direction, does not follow the planned route.

Is with the map upside down.

It's getting pretty close.

Helicopter to base.

Helicopter to base.

Heads up the East.

There is no point.

Nothing is heard with so static.

Have a flashlight?

Yes, it is on your right.

Ok

We drove the three point.

Look, here it is.

Come on, lady, quickly, No time to lose.

Fast.

Get in quick!

Stay here!

The phone lines are seedlings.

The radio does not work.

There is no way to talk to London.

We must act on our own.

I keep thinking that when reach the crevice,

we should leave her alone.

Until we talk with the Ministry.

Look, Mr. Elliott.

Adam said that the more huge this thing becomes,

the greater your reach.

This will be their next target.

See, here it is.

The experimental nuclear station.

To get there, traverse through the city center.

We have to stop this thing while in the slot.

And we have to do it once.

How's it going?

Not very well, but I'll try again.

Be careful, anyway.

There, it worked!

It worked, you got it, Adam! Gotta do!

Adam, look!

The container, see how shines!

What's going on?

Does not work, I have try again.

We do not have time.

If a size material of a pinhead,

is able to cause this explosion ...

Imagine what could occur in the slot.

We need more time.

No matter, we to risk.

We have to stop this thing in the slot.

I think the scanners could have desynchronized.

Yes, this is possible. could also be hundreds of things.

May have been the scanners.

Yes, yes. May have desynchronized.

We have everything asked Adam.

Vehicles, radioactive material, everything is prepared.

If so then, start working.

Tell them that depart hence, make an infernal noise.

Do not want to draw attention.

Yes sir.

Ready, Commander.

It's been half an hour.

They are doing their men?

Mc, we will vacate the area.

Adam, if you go wrong, both causes that are close or not.

Okay, but let's do anyway.

This is our Jeep.

As you said.

I suppose you know what takes the Jeep is lethal.

Yes sir.

The goal is to make this thing out of there.

Do not get closer than 3 meters.

- Roger that. - Very well, sir.

In motion, attention on the trucks.

Ok, sir.

Follow this car.

Okay, sir.

Do not allow the Jeep, get closer than 3 meters.

- Remember well, 3 meters. - Okay

- We can help you in something, Adam? - No, Mc.

- But what you can do is watch. - Well, I'll be careful.

Commander, tell your men that remain synchronized, scanners.

And that they activate when I give the signal.

Accordingly.

- Is everything going well? - Yes, sir. Everything is prepared.

- I put my men on alert? - Yes

Come on, guys prepared!

Come on, all crouching, behind that little hill.

Come on, soldier! What are you waiting for?

What will happen, Sergeant?

I'm going to kick you in the ass if not lower than once!

I'll let you know as soon as are synchronized.

Ok

Number 1! Prepared?

Ready, sir.

Number 2. Prepared?

Prepared, sir.

Allow me, sir.

Peter ... let the Jeep!

To leave the Jeep!

What's going on?

Come on out of there, I will.

Good luck, sir.

Will protect.

It's Peter!

What r u doing?

Someone has to do it, the driver felt bad.

That's no reason for you ...

Be careful, son.

What r u doing?

Peter, do not get too close!

Peter, do not come any closer!

Peter, do not be stupid! Come back here! Come back here!

Peter, get out of the Jeep! Break out! Run!

Please enable it.

Activated.

Please enable it.

Activated.

Disappeared.

The thing is gone!

It worked.

Bring the Geigers.

Take a reading.

What was that?

I do not know, should not have happened.

She was.

You should be proud, his theory was right.

That's right, Adam.
