00:00:00The End
00:00:30The End
00:01:00Don't you feel anything here either, Jessica?
00:01:12Well, there was a spring near here once.
00:01:25Dryed about 10 years ago, I guess it was,
00:01:28but that vein of water must still be here on the ground.
00:01:31She'll find it if it's here.
00:01:33Yeah, she'll find it.
00:01:35She can find more than water.
00:01:36You remember last spring she found my wedding ring I lost in the mulberry patch?
00:01:39I keep forgetting that my watch is missing.
00:01:56Well, we're home before sundown.
00:01:58You were right, Gordon.
00:02:00It's a wonderful place for a vacation, isn't it, Hank?
00:02:02It's exactly as you described it, even including Linda.
00:02:08Even the wild boar in the hills.
00:02:11Well, one thing has changed.
00:02:14Jessica was only 13 when I went away to college.
00:02:16What is she doing?
00:02:26Hunting for water with a fork stick.
00:02:30And I don't like it.
00:02:31Why not?
00:02:32Makes a beautiful picture.
00:02:34I think I'll sketch it.
00:02:35Gives me the creeps.
00:02:37It's no use today, Aunt Flavia.
00:02:50I'm just too nervous.
00:02:51But, dear, you were so sure you'd find water.
00:02:53But...
00:02:54not when I can feel people doubting me.
00:02:59Have a nice ride, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:03:01Wonderful.
00:03:04I have a geologist friend
00:03:05and I'd be happy to look at a new well for you.
00:03:07He wouldn't charge much.
00:03:08But Jessica doesn't charge anything.
00:03:11People always pay for superstition.
00:03:13It's not superstition.
00:03:14Oh, you're wrong, Jessica.
00:03:15It really is.
00:03:16It's not.
00:03:19I'll show you.
00:03:35Water!
00:03:37She's found water!
00:03:38Hurray!
00:03:39Boy, go stake that spot.
00:03:41Come on, Mike.
00:03:41You saw that, Gordon?
00:03:42I don't know.
00:03:54Water!
00:03:55She's found water!
00:03:57Hurray!
00:03:57Boy, go stake that spot!
00:04:00Come on, Mike.
00:04:03You saw that, Gordon?
00:04:05I don't know.
00:04:08I don't know.
00:04:08I don't know.
00:04:09Good girl.
00:04:16Right here.
00:04:18Here's where I feel it's strongest.
00:04:21But Aunt Flavia?
00:04:23No, don't!
00:04:25What's wrong, Jessica?
00:04:26Don't dig here.
00:04:28Please don't.
00:04:29There's something evil down there.
00:04:31Maybe it's gold, the root of all evil.
00:04:33Come on, start digging!
00:04:34No, it's not gold!
00:04:35Leave it alone!
00:04:36May I remark that superstition also leads to delusion?
00:04:39I'm not having delusion.
00:04:41Well, there's nothing evil about digging a hole.
00:04:43Yes, there is!
00:04:44Get to work, Boyd.
00:04:46All right, Mike.
00:04:48You're all horrible!
00:04:50I hope you all die!
00:04:52I hope a tree falls on you!
00:05:00Linda!
00:05:05Let's get her to the cabin.
00:05:06Go on!
00:05:27Are you sure you're all right, Linda?
00:05:29Can you move your hands and feet?
00:05:31See.
00:05:31I'm still in one piece.
00:05:35Because I was more frightened than hurt.
00:05:38If you were hurt, I'd never forgive myself.
00:05:42But, Jessica, it wasn't your fault.
00:05:45It was.
00:05:46You heard what I said.
00:05:47Honestly.
00:05:50Now, you can't think you had anything to do with that.
00:05:52But I did.
00:05:53It was an evil wish.
00:05:55An evil is very strong.
00:05:58Ah, Jessica.
00:06:00It was pure coincidence.
00:06:01A strong gust of wind came and a...
00:06:03An evil wind.
00:06:06I promise you.
00:06:09I'll never use the witching wand again.
00:06:12I'm all through with that kind of thing.
00:06:14So interesting, though.
00:06:15When did you first discover that you were a water witch?
00:06:24Always.
00:06:26For as long as I can remember, I've been able to find things.
00:06:30When it's right for me to find, that is.
00:06:34What do you mean, when it's right?
00:06:36Well, I mean, I must do it to help someone.
00:06:41And I can't accept any reward.
00:06:43And I must do it of my own free will.
00:06:48Jessica.
00:06:50We're only summer guests here.
00:06:53But I've known you for a lot of summers now.
00:06:55Since you were that tall.
00:06:57Now, fairy tales are all right for children.
00:07:00You're a grown girl now.
00:07:06Yes.
00:07:14Now, look, let me prove it to you.
00:07:17Linda's watch has been missing for about a week.
00:07:20If you have this power to find things,
00:07:23tell us where Linda lost her wristwatch.
00:07:28You don't believe me.
00:07:31None of you.
00:07:33You don't believe I made that tree fall.
00:07:36Well, then, listen.
00:07:39Linda didn't lose her watch.
00:07:41It was stolen.
00:07:43But not by anything human.
00:07:52You can find the watch in a trade rat's nest.
00:07:55Look at the base of the oak tree beside Linda's cabin.
00:07:58She worries me.
00:08:12Then stop worrying.
00:08:13She's just at the age where she likes to dramatize everything.
00:08:17I hope you're right.
00:08:19Well, let's go see.
00:08:20All right.
00:08:26Now, there's nothing here.
00:08:29Wait a minute.
00:08:35It's a rat's nest, all right.
00:08:37It's amazing.
00:08:38Quite a thief, that rat.
00:08:41There it is.
00:08:41It still runs.
00:08:50You boys can think what you like,
00:08:51but I think Jessica knows what she's talking about.
00:08:53I'm beginning to agree.
00:08:56Now, what's this?
00:08:58Here's something the rat didn't take.
00:09:00The root's grown around it.
00:09:02It's been here longer than the oak tree.
00:09:03What is it?
00:09:07It's sharp.
00:09:08And it looks medieval.
00:09:13I bet this tree's at least 200 years old,
00:09:15maybe a lot more.
00:09:17Easy.
00:09:18I think we owe Jessica an apology.
00:09:29Well,
00:09:30we found Linda's watch just as you said.
00:09:33I knew you would.
00:09:37Well, a beautiful and gifted young lady
00:09:38forgive a man who's been treating her like a child.
00:09:42What is there to forgive?
00:09:44Am I doubting you?
00:09:47I don't know.
00:09:47Your senses must be keener than most.
00:09:50Nature seems to speak to you
00:09:51and voices the rest of us can't hear.
00:09:54But it frightens me sometimes.
00:09:56Why?
00:09:59They're evil voices, too.
00:10:01Sometimes they're very hard to resist.
00:10:03Here, I polish this for you.
00:10:08We found it in the trade rat's nest.
00:10:11Oh?
00:10:12Well, when it belongs to someone,
00:10:14I shouldn't take it.
00:10:15Well, nonsense.
00:10:16I have an idea.
00:10:17This must be hundreds of years old.
00:10:18Look,
00:10:18this is the fleur-de-lis.
00:10:23The three points stand for purity,
00:10:25chastity,
00:10:26and virtue.
00:10:27The crown stands for courage
00:10:28and the anchor for hope.
00:10:31Turn around.
00:10:31You know,
00:10:32people used to believe
00:10:36that such a charm
00:10:37really protected them from evil.
00:10:40As a matter of fact,
00:10:40as long as they believe strongly enough,
00:10:42it did.
00:10:43It's beautiful.
00:10:50Thank you, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:10:52It's like a shield.
00:10:56A girl as beautiful as you
00:10:57will need one.
00:10:59And, uh,
00:11:00and don't call me
00:11:02Mr. Hawthorne.
00:11:03I'm going to go up
00:11:06and watch him dig for a while.
00:11:25Stop digging,
00:11:26you fool.
00:11:26You hit something.
00:11:27What is it?
00:11:28Sounds like metal.
00:11:31Watch it, Mike.
00:11:32Now, what have you found?
00:11:33I don't know yet.
00:11:36Get it out of there, Mike.
00:11:41It's a chest,
00:11:42an old chest.
00:11:43Get it out, boy.
00:11:44Hurry up.
00:11:44All right, Mike.
00:11:45Give it.
00:12:00Gold.
00:12:00It must be gold.
00:12:04Does anybody ever bury anything else?
00:12:06Oh, bless Jessica.
00:12:08She may inherit a fortune yet.
00:12:11Oh, Mike,
00:12:12break it open.
00:12:15Sure.
00:12:16Sure, I'll bust her open.
00:12:19Wait, you mustn't damage it.
00:12:20It's old.
00:12:21It has a history.
00:12:21Oh, I have a history, too.
00:12:23A history of taking in guests
00:12:24to keep from losing my ranch.
00:12:26Hit it, Mike.
00:12:27Give him room.
00:12:28You're about to lose a fortune,
00:12:29not find one.
00:12:30Now, you listen to me, young man.
00:12:31This chest is mine.
00:12:32And if it holds treasure,
00:12:33that's mine, too.
00:12:34You're not going to keep it away from...
00:12:35What did you say?
00:12:39Lose a fortune?
00:12:40Its value as a historical relic
00:12:42may be greater than the value
00:12:44of anything it contains.
00:12:46A museum might pay plenty
00:12:47just for that chest,
00:12:48but not if you smash it
00:12:50with a pickaxe.
00:12:50Oh, well,
00:12:53how do you plan
00:12:54to get it open?
00:12:56Well, there are chemicals
00:12:57that will remove
00:12:57the rust and verdigris,
00:12:58and then...
00:13:00Good Lord.
00:13:01What is it?
00:13:03A date.
00:13:051579.
00:13:07Look at the letters.
00:13:08Old English and the spelling.
00:13:09If ye valuest thy immortal...
00:13:14If ye valuest thy immortal soul,
00:13:19open not this accursed chest,
00:13:23for within it lieth...
00:13:25lieth.
00:13:28Well, go on.
00:13:29Go on.
00:13:29What lieth within it?
00:13:30I can't read the rest
00:13:33until I remove the verdigris.
00:13:35But I know this much.
00:13:37Only one Englishman
00:13:38visited California in 1579.
00:13:41Sir Francis Drake.
00:13:44If this chest is authentic,
00:13:45it's worth thousands.
00:13:47But you need an expert witness
00:13:48here when we open it.
00:13:51Well, where do I find one?
00:13:53Well, I'll go to Berkeley tonight
00:13:54and get the chemicals,
00:13:55and Julian Ash,
00:13:56president of the Historical Society.
00:13:58You mean to say
00:13:58I have to wait until tomorrow?
00:14:00Why be so anxious
00:14:02to risk your immortal soul?
00:14:04Oh.
00:14:05Now, he's right, Mrs. McIntyre.
00:14:06You better wait.
00:14:07There's no danger.
00:14:09I'll be glad to stay up
00:14:10and guard it for you.
00:14:11Well, all right,
00:14:12then let's take it up to the house.
00:14:14Come on, Mike.
00:14:16Sure.
00:14:18Sure.
00:14:25I bet I could carry two of them.
00:14:27Now, get to the house, you idiot.
00:14:30Jessica, I've been thinking.
00:14:43You need a little change,
00:14:44a little excitement.
00:14:46Why don't you come to the dance
00:14:47with Hank and me tonight?
00:14:50A girl has to have a partner
00:14:51at a square dance.
00:14:53Maybe Gordon would like to go.
00:14:54Do you think he'd take me?
00:14:57Of course he would.
00:14:58I'll ask him for you.
00:15:00Please don't.
00:15:01I don't want him to think that I don't.
00:15:06What is it?
00:15:11Why, they found something.
00:15:13Please don't let them in.
00:15:14Look, Jessica.
00:15:20A treasure chest.
00:15:23You dug this up.
00:15:24A wonderful find.
00:15:26I'm almost sure it was buried
00:15:27by Sir Francis Drake.
00:15:29Possibly part of the loot
00:15:30he stole from the Spaniards.
00:15:32Well, we'll notice
00:15:34soon as I get back.
00:15:35Oh, you're leaving?
00:15:37Yes, as soon as I change clothes.
00:15:40Mr. Hawthorne.
00:15:42I mean, Gordon.
00:15:44I was hoping that...
00:15:46Don't worry about that copper chest.
00:15:48There's no evil left
00:15:50after four centuries.
00:15:52Good night.
00:15:53Hurry back.
00:15:55Come on, Mike.
00:15:56Put it in the sewing room.
00:15:57We'll lock it up until morning.
00:16:03And Flavia?
00:16:05I don't want it in the house.
00:16:06What?
00:16:08Do you expect me to leave it
00:16:08in the field?
00:16:09I won't stay in the house with it.
00:16:11But, Jessica,
00:16:12you're acting like a child.
00:16:13Say what you please.
00:16:15I won't.
00:16:16If you feel that way, Jessica,
00:16:18then why don't you stay
00:16:18in my cabin tonight?
00:16:20Is that all right,
00:16:21Mrs. McIntyre?
00:16:22Of course it's all right.
00:16:23Come on.
00:16:28All set, Mrs. McIntyre.
00:16:36There.
00:16:46Good night.
00:16:48Good night.
00:16:51I'll finish up the chores.
00:16:53You stay here.
00:16:59All ready?
00:16:59Gee, you look pretty.
00:17:03Oh, thank you, dear.
00:17:06I'm sorry, Gordon had to leave, Jessica.
00:17:08Why don't you come with us anyway?
00:17:10There are always extra men
00:17:11at country dance.
00:17:13I don't want an extra man.
00:17:15That awful old chest.
00:17:19Yeah, these archaeologists
00:17:21are always interested
00:17:22in an old chest.
00:17:23Now, take an artist like me.
00:17:24On second thought,
00:17:25I think she's safer here
00:17:27than with an artist like you.
00:17:28Come on.
00:17:31Anything in the place is yours.
00:17:33Including me.
00:17:34Oh, come on.
00:17:45Oh, come on.
00:18:15Oh, come on.
00:18:45Oh, come on.
00:19:15Uh, what do you know?
00:19:34We're the only men left on the ranch.
00:19:36We don't need no other men.
00:19:38You and me are plenty.
00:19:42I think so, too.
00:19:44Stop grabbing that rifle
00:19:45every time I'm not looking.
00:19:47You don't know how to shoot a gun,
00:19:48you'll hurt yourself.
00:19:49Well, I wasn't going to shoot it.
00:19:53What?
00:19:55If anybody tried to bust in here,
00:19:58I'd just use my hands on them.
00:20:01Yeah, you're pretty strong, Mike.
00:20:09Sure.
00:20:11Sure, I'm strong.
00:20:13I bet you could almost open
00:20:14that copper chest
00:20:15with your bare hands.
00:20:16sure.
00:20:17Sure.
00:20:18Sure.
00:20:21But that wouldn't be right, would it?
00:20:24Well, I don't know why.
00:20:25The only reason they didn't want you
00:20:27to use the axe
00:20:27is because you'd crush it.
00:20:29But if you could open it up
00:20:30without breaking it...
00:20:32I'll just ask Mrs. McIntyre
00:20:36if it's all right.
00:20:37Now, you wait right here
00:20:38and don't touch that gun.
00:20:40They make too much noise.
00:20:42You understand me?
00:21:02Yeah.
00:21:32Let's go.
00:22:02It's all right with Mrs. McIntyre, just so we don't damage the thing.
00:22:11She said I could open it.
00:22:13Sure.
00:22:14She gave me the key, see?
00:22:16Now move your chair.
00:22:20Quiet.
00:22:22But you said she told us we could...
00:22:24What's the matter?
00:22:25Boy, anything wrong?
00:22:28Nothing at all, ma'am.
00:22:29I think Mike just turned over the rifle.
00:22:32Oh.
00:22:33Well, tell him to be careful.
00:22:35I'm trying to sleep.
00:22:37Surely will.
00:22:44You heard what she said.
00:22:46Oh, I'm sorry.
00:22:48I won't do it again.
00:22:49When we dug this up, it looked to me like these iron bands were loose.
00:23:11Let me show you.
00:23:12Oh, I got strong hands.
00:23:24Are you sure she said it's all right?
00:23:27There's nothing to worry about, nothing to worry about at all.
00:23:30You can always put those bands back on afterward, no one will ever know.
00:23:34Yeah.
00:23:36Yeah.
00:23:37As long as no one knows what's on the inside or counted,
00:23:40food to say if any of us is missing.
00:24:10So, what do you think so?
00:24:13All right.
00:24:14You can use that.
00:24:15You can use that.
00:24:16I'm sorry.
00:24:17You can use that.
00:24:17I'm sorry.
00:24:18I'm sorry.
00:24:19I was just a little bit.
00:24:19I do not know.
00:24:20I don't know.
00:24:20I'm sorry.
00:24:21I don't know.
00:24:30I don't know.
00:24:30I don't know.
00:24:31I'm sorry.
00:26:32How you doing, Mike?
00:26:47Mike?
00:26:48I thought I told you not to open that.
00:27:03You stupid idiot.
00:27:07What's wrong with you?
00:27:10I...
00:27:11I'm treating you.
00:27:15I'm more stuck than I'll kill you.
00:27:18Help!
00:27:19Help!
00:27:23You crazy idiot!
00:27:24Get out!
00:27:25Help!
00:27:26Help!
00:27:27Help!
00:27:29Help!
00:27:33I don't know.
00:28:03I don't know.
00:28:33Jessica!
00:28:35Jessica!
00:28:37Jessica, help!
00:28:39Jessica!
00:28:40Can you hear me?
00:28:41Help!
00:28:42Jessica!
00:28:43Jessica!
00:28:45Jessica!
00:28:47Jessica, help!
00:28:49Jessica!
00:28:50Can you hear me?
00:28:52Help!
00:28:53Jessica!
00:28:54Hurry up!
00:28:55What's the matter?
00:28:56Downstairs!
00:28:57Something horrible has happened.
00:28:58Hurry up!
00:28:59Hurry up!
00:29:00What's the matter?
00:29:01Downstairs!
00:29:02Something horrible has happened.
00:29:03Hurry up!
00:29:04Hurry up!
00:29:05Hurry up!
00:29:06Hurry up!
00:29:07Hurry up!
00:29:08Hurry up!
00:29:09Hurry up!
00:29:10Hurry up!
00:29:11Hurry up!
00:29:29The chest!
00:29:30The treasure's gone!
00:29:35I told you it was evil.
00:29:43I...
00:29:44I heard Boyd yelling at Mike.
00:29:47Then I heard a crash.
00:29:50Mike wouldn't hurt Boyd.
00:29:52He wouldn't hurt anyone.
00:30:00What's that?
00:30:09There's only branches scraping against the house.
00:30:17I wish dogs wouldn't howl like that.
00:30:20You'd better call the police, Aunt Flavia.
00:30:24Yes, I suppose so.
00:30:29Hello?
00:30:40Sheriff's office?
00:30:49This is Flavia McIntyre.
00:30:51I locked up a valuable chest.
00:30:53And when I went to look for it later, I found the chest empty and blood all over the floor.
00:30:59Yes, the McIntyre Ranch near Cabrillo Canyon.
00:31:12Please hurry.
00:31:13My niece and I are here all alone.
00:31:20I had the strangest feeling.
00:31:24As though something were trying to overpower me.
00:31:29Gordon.
00:31:36Well, Jessica.
00:31:37What is it?
00:31:38What's wrong?
00:31:39Well, may I come in?
00:31:41Have you forgotten you dragged me out of bed to see a treasure chest?
00:31:44Oh, I'm sorry.
00:31:45Mrs. McIntyre, Miss Jessica Burns.
00:31:47This is Julian Ash, president of the Historical Society.
00:31:50How do you do?
00:31:51Now what's all the excitement?
00:31:52The gold.
00:31:53The gold.
00:31:54All the gold that was in the chest is gone.
00:31:59At nightly.
00:32:00Hydrochloric.
00:32:02I can't understand why the police don't come.
00:32:04It's a long way up the canyon road.
00:32:09It just occurred to me.
00:32:10I didn't meet anyone when I drove over it.
00:32:15Then the thief must be on foot.
00:32:17And still near here.
00:32:23There's a way we might find a wounded man.
00:32:26You can tell us.
00:32:28With this.
00:32:29What?
00:32:32Won't you try?
00:32:37It's the treasure everyone wants.
00:32:39I can't do it for money.
00:32:40It wouldn't work.
00:32:44No.
00:32:45Not money.
00:32:47The man whose blood that is.
00:32:49Boyd's or Mike's.
00:32:51May be badly hurt.
00:32:52In need of help.
00:32:55I'll try then.
00:32:57But the one.
00:33:00Should touch something of the thing it seeks.
00:33:21Amazing Gordon.
00:33:22Works beautifully.
00:33:23Now let's see.
00:33:25Here.
00:33:27Watch now.
00:33:30Try someplace where there's something written.
00:33:31All right.
00:33:37It's all clear.
00:33:41If ye valuest thy immortal soul,
00:33:44open not this accursed chest.
00:33:46For within it lieth the disembodied spirit of Gideon Drew,
00:33:56the foulest and wickedest man whelves have feet upon earth.
00:34:01Disembodied spirit.
00:34:04There's more.
00:34:05That's impossible.
00:34:06It's impossible.
00:34:19This record prepared the 22nd of June, 1579.
00:34:23At the command of Sir Francis Drake,
00:34:27by Captain Fletcher of the Golden Hine.
00:34:34Gideon Drew,
00:34:36being found guilty before his comrades of a crime most foul,
00:34:41was this day sentenced to a living death.
00:34:44A living death.
00:35:04Yes, she finds things.
00:35:05Even bodies.
00:35:07Even bodies.
00:35:08Gideon Drew, being found guilty before his comrades of a crime most foul,
00:35:26was this day sentenced to a living death.
00:35:32Gideon Drew, being found guilty before his comrades of a crime most foul,
00:35:37was this day sentenced to a living death.
00:35:56Howdy,
00:35:57howdy.
00:35:59when you go lost,
00:36:00howdy.
00:36:02Howdy.
00:36:04Howdy.
00:36:06Howdy.
00:36:09Howdy.
00:36:11Howdy.
00:36:14Howdy.
00:36:15Remove the blindfold now and let him see a world where he shall never walk again.
00:36:31Find the evil eye. One glance can make you a slave.
00:36:35Fear not. His eyes cannot abide the vision of lost honor that surrounds this ancient talism.
00:36:40Remove the cloth.
00:36:45Cowards! Look at me!
00:36:51Nay, do you gaze on this?
00:36:55Speak not of cowards when your own heart fails at visions of the honor you've betrayed.
00:37:02High problem, hide thy eyes.
00:37:06But tune your ears to this, the record of your evil deeds.
00:37:10Thou, Gideon crew, hath blasphemed thy creator.
00:37:16Thy voice was heard above the hurricane beseeching Satan to avert the wrath of God.
00:37:23Yea, thou hast robbed and murdered.
00:37:26And by the power that Satan placed within thine evil eyes, hast corrupted better men to do the same.
00:37:32The guilt is naught, the justification all.
00:37:37I see a day when evil finds its power.
00:37:42And in that distant time my soul shall rise to spread the flames of hell around the world.
00:37:48Can mortal man aspire to more than this?
00:37:54A final triumph over all that's good.
00:37:57That we shall prevent by our punishment.
00:38:00Let his neck be stretched.
00:38:02Here then, Gideon, row the fate before thee.
00:38:13Thou shalt not die.
00:38:17Thy head, which thought the deeds, shall severed be from its obedient body.
00:38:22Satan bought the whole man, not a part, and will not take half value for his being.
00:38:26Steeped in its evil thoughts, thy head forever living.
00:38:31Shall lie in this nameless land.
00:38:36While in another grave thy headless corpse shall find eternity in which to lust.
00:38:42And find the time too short to give it ease.
00:38:46This be thy torment.
00:38:51And the curse shall reign until thy head and body join again.
00:39:01The curse shall reign until thy head and body join again.
00:39:03Strike!
00:39:04Strike!
00:39:17Follow me. We'll bury the body where none will ever find it.
00:39:20If you have mercy, you will be.
00:39:23Bear with your mother.
00:39:24Please don't.
00:39:25Be careful...
00:39:26Please don't.
00:39:28Hold on.
00:39:29We've got three for you.
00:39:30This is going to be a month and hour.
00:39:31Get your bunkers.
00:39:32What are you when you are not?
00:39:33Go to the Lord.
00:39:34You're going to marry me?
00:39:35Be careful...
00:39:36Too much!
00:39:37The judge is to live.
00:39:38On the way you are.
00:39:39What are you sleep?
00:39:40Father?
00:39:41Lord, all the glory you are.
00:39:43Oh, my God.
00:40:13Enslave you!
00:40:15Gordon! Enslave you!
00:40:18Jessica, where have you been?
00:40:21I found Boyd, dead, in a grave he dug for himself.
00:40:24Wait a minute, miss. Will you explain so I can understand?
00:40:27I know the place, officer. Come on. Come on, Swanson.
00:40:33Jessica, why did you go out there all alone?
00:40:36This began leading me. I didn't want to. It's evil.
00:40:41Never, never, never again!
00:40:43Wait, I want to see that stick.
00:40:45Come on, Jessica, let's go into the house.
00:40:47No, not while that chest is still there.
00:40:50I'm staying with Linda.
00:40:52Jessica! Aunt Flavio, what's happened?
00:40:55Oh, plenty.
00:40:56I'll tell you on the way to the cabin, I'm afraid out here.
00:41:06Well, who are you?
00:41:08Ash. Julian Ash.
00:41:11I'm Hank Houston.
00:41:25There. The door is locked, and you're safe.
00:41:29I should have remembered.
00:41:34While I'm wearing this, I'm always safe.
00:41:39Come on, let's get some rest now.
00:41:44Now, that's Boyd, all right.
00:41:59Any idea who killed him?
00:42:01I hate to accuse anyone.
00:42:03You're not accusing anyone, just giving information to the police.
00:42:07Well, he was with Mike.
00:42:11Mike?
00:42:12Who's he?
00:42:13One of Mrs. McIntyre's employees.
00:42:15Big fella.
00:42:16Physically very strong, but weak under the rafters.
00:42:18You mean a nut?
00:42:19No.
00:42:20Just dumb, but gentle.
00:42:22How'd Boyd treat him?
00:42:24Boyd was rough on him.
00:42:26Leave the body here for homicide and start looking for Mike.
00:42:30He sounds like a killer to me.
00:42:32All right.
00:42:57Okay.
00:42:59Shh, Jessica's asleep.
00:43:22What is it, Hank?
00:43:23I just wanted to be sure you were all right before I turned in.
00:43:27I'm all right, darling.
00:43:29The police are staying until the trouble's over,
00:43:32so there's nothing to worry about.
00:43:33All right, good.
00:43:35Good night, darling.
00:43:38Good night again, Hank.
00:43:39Good night.
00:43:46Good night.
00:43:47Good night.
00:45:48We'll keep watch until the rest of the crew gets here.
00:45:56Hold it.
00:45:57Somebody coming.
00:45:58Stay on.
00:45:59Who is it?
00:46:00Turn on the headlights.
00:46:03Stop where you are.
00:46:08Stop, I said.
00:46:13Be careful.
00:46:14He's cracked.
00:46:15Drop that knife.
00:46:16Stop.
00:46:17Be careful.
00:46:18Don't kill her.
00:46:19Don't kill her.
00:46:20Don't kill her.
00:46:21Don't kill her.
00:46:22Don't kill her.
00:46:23You're the same.
00:46:24It's too vil.
00:46:25Don't kill her.
00:46:26Don't kill her.
00:46:27I'm a little bomb here.
00:46:28Now you're safe.
00:46:50And I'm your only slave.
00:46:54I'm sorry this had to happen, Mrs. McIntyre.
00:46:56He's not missed out before he killed Boyd.
00:46:59There's the murder knife.
00:47:00Tried to use it on me.
00:47:07Well, folks, you might as well go back to bed.
00:47:08There'll be no more excitement.
00:47:10Jessica, where's Linda?
00:47:11I don't know. She wasn't in the cabin.
00:47:13Wasn't in the cabin?
00:47:26Jessica said you weren't here.
00:47:37Of course I'm here.
00:47:39What concern is it of yours?
00:47:41What concern is it of mine?
00:47:43I'm going to marry you, remember?
00:47:50What's so funny?
00:47:51Marry you.
00:47:55Marry a painter.
00:47:59You sentimental fool.
00:48:14What's wrong with them?
00:48:15I don't know.
00:48:19But I do know it's time everyone got some sleep.
00:48:22Yes.
00:48:24Good night, Gordon.
00:48:36Aren't you coming to bed, Linda?
00:48:39In a moment, dear.
00:48:40All right.
00:48:41All right.
00:49:10Come on, let's go.
00:49:33Come on.
00:49:33Come on.
00:49:34Come on.
00:49:35Go on.
00:49:36Come on.
00:49:37Okay.
00:49:37Come on.
00:49:38Come on.
00:49:38Linda, why are you staring at me that way?
00:50:00I was just admiring the gift that Gordon gave you.
00:50:03May I try it on?
00:50:05I promise not to take it off.
00:50:07And after that dream I had when I fainted, I won't.
00:50:37Let's go.
00:50:43Hold it.
00:50:44Hold it.
00:50:46Oh, my God.
00:51:16Oh, my God.
00:51:46Well, hardly that after nearly four centuries.
00:51:49I'd say at best to only a skull.
00:51:52Well, there's a lot of tannic acid in the soil around here.
00:51:54It might preserve part of the skin.
00:51:56You mean turned it into leather?
00:51:59Mm-hmm.
00:51:59Mm-hmm.
00:52:02So, if the legend is true,
00:52:04the head is looking for its body.
00:52:09Oh, please, it's not funny.
00:52:12Well, I assure you, Mrs. McIntyre,
00:52:13I intend to search for the other casket,
00:52:15and I'll pay you well if I find it.
00:52:17I don't know why you keep looking at me that way.
00:52:32That thing around your neck.
00:52:34I want it.
00:52:35I'll buy it from you.
00:52:35Let me have it, Jessica.
00:52:39No.
00:52:43You like beautiful things, don't you?
00:52:46But you may keep this dress
00:52:47or anything else of mine that you want.
00:52:49No.
00:52:49I'm going now.
00:52:56Thank you for letting me stay with you.
00:53:09Jessica!
00:53:11Come here.
00:53:19I want to paint you.
00:53:30I haven't eaten yet.
00:53:31I have to go with my...
00:53:32The light's exactly right.
00:53:37Just a quick sketch to start with.
00:53:41I thought you were painting Linda.
00:53:43Linda?
00:53:45You're a much prettier subject.
00:53:47That's impossible.
00:53:48I can't have you digging up my whole ranch.
00:53:51Well, I'm sure I can persuade the society
00:53:53to pay you $5,000 for each of the caskets.
00:53:57That's a lot of money, Mrs. McIntyre.
00:53:59Yes.
00:54:00Yes, that is a lot of money.
00:54:03And a great contribution to California history.
00:54:08You're thinking that Jessica
00:54:09can help you find the other casket.
00:54:12Why not ask her?
00:54:15Well, I don't want to.
00:54:18Well, after what happened last time.
00:54:20Well,
00:54:21after all, that can't happen again.
00:54:25Mike and Boyd are
00:54:26dead.
00:54:29I'm sure she'll help you.
00:54:32She has such a conscience.
00:54:35Where is she?
00:54:36She and her conscience are in Hank's studio.
00:54:43Just the two of them.
00:54:44Yes, she comes now.
00:55:05What is it?
00:55:15Why does everyone stare at me this morning?
00:55:17What's wrong with me?
00:55:19There's nothing wrong with you, Jessica.
00:55:21We, uh, we have a problem.
00:55:23Oh, let's get to the point.
00:55:25There's another casket buried somewhere on the ranch, Jessica,
00:55:28and Mr. Ash has promised us $5,000
00:55:30if we can find it.
00:55:32Yes, that's right.
00:55:33Of course, I haven't seen you demonstrate
00:55:34your remarkable abilities yet.
00:55:36You've all been sitting here
00:55:37plotting and planning
00:55:39to make me do something I know is wrong.
00:55:43That's why Hank tried to keep me in his cabin.
00:55:45That's why Linda wanted to take away my talisman.
00:55:48Isn't it enough that two men are dead?
00:55:51Do the rest of you want to die, too?
00:55:52Oh, honey, all I'm asking
00:55:54is that you take that fork stick and...
00:55:56No!
00:55:56No!
00:55:58I hate you all!
00:56:05I wish you all were...
00:56:07I'll not stay here any longer!
00:56:13Well, that's it.
00:56:15No help from Jessica.
00:56:18She's right.
00:56:20You're trying to make her do something against her will
00:56:23because you want money.
00:56:24I see nothing wrong in wanting money
00:56:26and I'm not trying to rob anybody, am I?
00:56:27You have a point there, Mrs. McIntyre.
00:56:30I have a plan.
00:56:31Oh?
00:56:32From what I've read about dowsing,
00:56:34the ability often runs in families.
00:56:37You mean me?
00:56:39Oh, I couldn't do that.
00:56:40I'd...
00:56:41I'd look so foolish.
00:56:43Didn't mind if Jessica looked foolish.
00:56:46Go ahead.
00:56:46Take it.
00:56:50And try it.
00:56:51Are you really going?
00:57:13Yes. Linda's driving me to the bus stop.
00:57:17Well, I don't blame you for being upset.
00:57:20I just want to be sure you're safe.
00:57:21I'll be safe enough.
00:57:24I'll go to my cousin.
00:57:27There's just one favor I'd like to ask.
00:57:30Yes?
00:57:31Julian and I were talking about this talisman.
00:57:34He feels it may belong to the same period as the chest and very valuable.
00:57:39You mean you want it back?
00:57:41I should say not. It's yours.
00:57:44But if you could let me borrow it, I could have a cast made.
00:57:46You put it there.
00:57:57You're the only one who can take it off.
00:57:59I'll put this in the car for you.
00:58:14You see what I mean?
00:58:24You know, with Flavia doing it, it looks positively immoral.
00:58:26I'll go get Linda.
00:58:27You ready?
00:58:30Sit down, dear. I'll just be a moment.
00:58:31All right.
00:58:32Such a beautiful day.
00:58:33I keep feeling there's something evil very close to me.
00:58:35You know, with Flavia doing it, it looks positively immoral.
00:58:40I don't mean you.
00:59:03I don't mean you.
00:59:06Though I should think you'd feel it, too.
00:59:09I've got something to cheer you up.
00:59:12Something for me?
00:59:14Mm-hmm.
00:59:18A gift.
00:59:19Oh, Lindy, you're giving me one of your hats.
00:59:23Go ahead, open it.
00:59:28Open it, dear.
00:59:36Don't you like it?
00:59:58Yes, Linda.
01:00:00I like it very much.
01:00:02I'm so happy for you, dear.
01:00:06I'm not going to leave the ranch.
01:00:09Something I have to do.
01:00:33Cake?
01:00:34Oh, thank you.
01:00:35Yes, thanks.
01:00:39Jessica, I thought you'd gone.
01:00:42I stayed because I want to help you.
01:00:45You'll hunt the other chests?
01:00:48Yes, Gordon.
01:00:50Go cut a fresh wand for me from the willow tree behind the house.
01:00:55I'll change clothes.
01:00:56Do you think you might need that?
01:01:14Do you think you might need that?
01:01:18I wonder what made her change her mind?
01:01:26Well, I suppose after she thought about it, she realized our request was reasonable.
01:01:30Well, I'm not sure it is.
01:01:31Well, I'm not sure it is.
01:01:32Well, Jessica, where are Hank and Linda?
01:01:36Jessica, where are Hank and Linda?
01:01:37Where are Hank and Linda?
01:01:38Where are Hank and Linda?
01:01:39Where are Hank and Linda?
01:01:40In the cabin.
01:01:41We're ready to start.
01:01:42Come on.
01:01:43Come on.
01:01:44Have a drink.
01:01:44Sure.
01:01:45Look at me.
01:01:46Is this what you wanted?
01:01:47The natural girl?
01:01:48Yeah.
01:01:49Now, come on.
01:01:50Now, come on.
01:01:51Speaker 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1.
01:01:56Have a drink.
01:02:00Sure.
01:02:02Look at me.
01:02:04Is this what you wanted?
01:02:05The natural girl?
01:02:07Yeah.
01:02:18Now, come on.
01:02:26Now, come on.
01:02:56Come on.
01:03:07My, it's taken her a long time.
01:03:09The first one took a long time.
01:03:11Wish she'd hurry.
01:03:12Wait, wait.
01:03:13She's on to something.
01:03:25She's found it!
01:03:26Here.
01:03:48Here.
01:03:48Gordon, I'm rested now.
01:04:12Let me spell you.
01:04:15Yeah, okay.
01:04:27Jessica, what's happened?
01:04:29You're changed.
01:04:30You're not the same girl you were yesterday.
01:04:31Yesterday, I was trying to do what was right.
01:04:35I was afraid.
01:04:42But I'm not afraid anymore.
01:04:43Now, get back to work.
01:04:56Now, get back to work.
01:05:01We found it.
01:05:05About time, too.
01:05:07Let's have some light.
01:05:07$5,000.
01:05:08$5,000.
01:05:09Well, let's get it to the house.
01:05:18I'd like to open it without breaking.
01:05:20Might be able to knock the pins out.
01:05:22Uh-uh.
01:05:22Put some oil here.
01:05:28Jessica, aren't you going to watch us open it?
01:05:30Oh, I'll be back.
01:05:32There's something I have to get.
01:05:41Yeah, this one feels loose.
01:05:42Let's go.
01:05:43Let's go.
01:05:43Let's go.
01:05:43Let's go.
01:05:45Let's go.
01:06:12Jessica!
01:06:40At last!
01:06:42I breathe again.
01:06:55Satan still lives.
01:06:57Four centuries have not reduced his power.
01:07:03So this is what mankind has become.
01:07:07Hogs before the butcher, waiting to die.
01:07:11Let's go.
01:07:12Now.
01:07:18Which one of you is first?
01:07:24After so long a fast, I thirst for human blood.
01:07:29You.
01:07:31But I think your blood is too cold.
01:07:35And yours has turned to water.
01:07:41Your blood is diluted with the vile stuff you drink.
01:07:51And you have dried up.
01:07:55Ah, you.
01:07:57You better make sure he's dead.
01:07:59Let's go.
01:08:23Better make sure he's dead.
01:08:24All right, open it.
01:08:44Satan has finally received it.
01:08:49Hank, please forgive me.
01:08:54Let this protect us both.
