02:06David?
02:09Mary.
02:11Where are you?
02:13Darling, I'm at the flat.
02:15Still?
02:16Darling, I'm sorry. I'm not going to make it home tonight.
02:18I'll have to stay up. I've still got half a dozen shots to do.
02:21Will they get them tomorrow?
02:26Well, I'm not sure.
02:28Freddie's trying to juggle the schedule. He wants me on standby.
02:31Well, I say...
02:33Oh, I'm sorry, David. It can't be helped.
02:36Can't it?
02:37Listen.
02:38Oh, never mind.
02:41Shall we expect you tomorrow?
02:43I'll call you.
02:46Yes, you do that.
02:48Look, could you seat a muffin?
02:50Make sure the stable door's properly locked and bolted.
02:52I don't want him kicking it open again.
02:54He won't. Not now. It's been strengthened.
02:56Good.
02:57How's the work going?
02:59Okay.
03:00How far have you got?
03:03I'm just about to come up to your death scene, dear.
03:07Oh.
03:08Well, that should be some consolation to you.
03:10Mary, we've got...
03:15I'll call you tomorrow.
03:16Night.
03:17Night.
03:40Good night, buddy.
04:10I'll call you tomorrow.
04:40I'll call you tomorrow.
05:10It's all right, boys.
05:22Any thunder?
05:23Looks like we're in for a bit of a storm.
05:25Oh.
05:25All right.
05:26Oh.
05:27No.
05:29Why don't you cuatro?
05:40What?
05:41What?
05:42You.
05:42I don't know.
06:12I don't know.
06:42It's all right, Bill.
06:45It's over now.
06:46It's all over.
06:54And it's over, Billy.
06:57Billy, come over here.
06:59Come on.
06:59Bill.
07:08Bill.
07:11What's the matter?
07:17You want to go out, then?
07:19Come on.
07:20Come on.
07:20I love you.
07:26Bill?
07:28Billy?
07:44Billy.
07:46Billy?
07:48Billy?
07:59Who are you?
08:03What are you doing in here?
08:06Who are you?
08:08I did it.
08:10I did it.
08:11I did it!
08:13Did what?
08:14Escaped them, that's what I did.
08:17Where's this place?
08:19Woodstock Farm.
08:22Woodstock Farm is...
08:27Who will be you?
08:30David Winter.
08:31I live here.
08:33You live here?
08:34You live here now.
08:36Look, what is this?
08:38Tell me David Winter.
08:40He'll be on the throne of England now.
08:42Now listen...
08:43Who?
08:45Queen Elizabeth, of course.
08:48Elizabeth, when came she to the throne?
08:51Which Elizabeth?
08:54Elizabeth II.
08:56She was crowned in 1950...
08:58Oh, Master Christ.
09:04I'm afraid.
09:08Oh, my beauties.
09:11Where be your fire now then?
09:14Where be all of you?
09:17Dead!
09:19Dead, dead!
09:20A lot of you!
09:21Now, who are you and where are you from?
09:24Where am I?
09:25I'm Lucinda.
09:27Lucinda Jessam, please you.
09:29Where I come from, I come from here.
09:31Woodstock Farm.
09:32I come from here.
09:32Oh.
09:32Oh.
09:51Hi, how nice you got the old place.
09:53There's a change.
09:54Look, I don't seem to be understanding you too well.
09:59Did you live here once?
10:01I lived here.
10:02I was born here.
10:04Oh, I see.
10:06I was born in this house in the year 1627.
10:1316...
10:13Oh, don't be ridiculous.
10:15That's more than...
10:15Why, more than 300 years since.
10:18Tell me, David Winter,
10:19what you do with witches in these times?
10:22Witches?
10:25Nothing.
10:25You don't hunt them?
10:27No.
10:28You don't get poxy witch finders
10:30to swim them and hang them and burn them?
10:33No, we don't.
10:34Oh, that's good.
10:35That's very good, David Winter,
10:37because I'd be a witch.
10:40Now, listen.
10:41I don't know what your game is,
10:43but I don't go in for that sort of thing.
10:45Oh, what sort of thing
10:45would that be, my lovely David?
10:47Black magic.
10:49Fooling around on Halloween
10:50and that sort of nonsense.
10:54They wanted to put me to the test.
10:56They tried to swim me,
10:58and they would have burnt me.
10:59They had their fire burning
11:01already out there in that yard,
11:02but I showed them my powers.
11:04Amos Franklin and Joshua Smith
11:06and their Puritan gang.
11:08But I escaped their fire
11:10like I escaped their water,
11:12and here I am.
11:13Yes, yes, of course you are.
11:16I like a ghost.
11:18Why being a ghost?
11:20I'd be a living woman, David Winter.
11:23Listen, wouldn't you, uh,
11:25like to lie down,
11:26rest for a while?
11:27You look rather tired.
11:29Would you like a drink or something?
11:30Oh, you want to poison me?
11:33You won't get rid of your
11:33poor Lysander that way.
11:35No, no, of course not.
11:41It's all right.
11:43It's just the power coming on again.
11:45Take it away.
11:46Take the power away!
11:49Nothing.
11:50Then come on.
11:51It's only the lights.
11:54Here, look.
11:55It won't hurt you.
11:56And...
12:01And again.
12:07So.
12:09You see?
12:11You want to try?
12:13Come on.
12:15Give me a hand.
12:16And...
12:17Up.
12:22And...
12:23Up.
12:24And...
12:24Down.
12:35Not in there.
12:36What's the matter?
12:45What's the matter?
12:46The cellar.
12:47Yeah?
12:48Close the door.
12:49Close the door.
12:51Close the door.
12:55They prisoned me in the cellar down there
12:57before they dragged me out to the fire.
12:59Up to the fire.
13:20Power.
13:21Where's the power?
13:30This is the bathroom.
13:32In which we are fortunate enough to have a bath,
13:35a wash basin,
13:36and a toilet.
13:41It's only water.
13:48Oh.
13:49This is the shower.
13:52There's nothing to be afraid of.
13:56Now, the other rooms are quite ordinary.
14:00Just bedrooms.
14:01Bedchambers.
14:02Yes.
14:03That's all.
14:08Look.
14:16This used to be my room.
14:18There.
14:19You see?
14:20Why don't you have a little rest?
14:23You must be rather fatigued after travelling for 300 years.
14:26Let me out.
14:29You swore you would not harm me.
14:32I won't.
14:33Just stay there and rest.
14:35I won't let anything hurt you.
14:36Let me out.
14:38Open this door, David Winter.
14:40Just do let me out.
14:41It'll be the worst for you.
14:43Let me out.
14:44You hear me?
14:46Let me out of here.
14:48Let me out of here.
14:50You hear me?
14:51Let me out.
14:53Let me out of this room.
14:55347?
14:56Oh, Charles.
14:57It's David Winter.
14:58You hear me?
14:59I'm sorry to disturb you at this time of the night, but I've got a bit of a problem.
15:03Let me out of here.
15:19Charles, thanks for coming.
15:20I'm sorry to drag you out of this hour, but I didn't know what else to do.
15:23That's all right.
15:25If only just get in, actually.
15:27I've been up in London at a conference.
15:29Oh, come on.
15:30Thank God for that.
15:31Come on.
15:40Finley!
15:52So, David, what's it all about then?
15:55Well, I discovered this young woman hiding in the barn after that terrible storm we had.
16:01You had a storm?
16:02I'll say we had.
16:04Anyway, when it had finished, I went out to calm Mary's horse.
16:08And there was this creature.
16:10She said she was a witch.
16:12And that she was going to be drowned or burned or both back in 1600 and something.
16:17And that she'd managed to escape by transporting herself through time.
16:21Oh, that's very clever of her.
16:24Did she try and put a spell on you?
16:25No, thank God.
16:27Oh, where is she?
16:29Upstairs.
16:37She's in here.
16:39It used to be the nursery.
16:40So there's bars on the window.
16:41Lucinda?
16:42Lucinda, I brought someone.
16:47Lucinda?
16:49Lucinda, I brought someone.
17:00Lucinda?
17:02I locked her in myself.
17:03The door's still locked.
17:04I had the key.
17:05You saw me.
17:07She's obviously not here now.
17:09Lucinda!
17:11Lucinda!
17:13Lucinda!
17:15Mary, not home?
17:17No, she's been filming up in London.
17:19Yeah.
17:20Working late?
17:21So she says.
17:22You don't believe her?
17:24I think she's got a lover.
17:27Mary?
17:28Yes, Mary.
17:30I tell you, Charles, it...
17:31That bloody director, I'll bet.
17:32She's with him right now.
17:34Ah, come on, David.
17:36Don't be ridiculous.
17:37So what's ridiculous?
17:39I don't think she's got a lover.
17:41So she says.
17:43You don't believe her?
17:45I think she's got a lover.
17:47Mary?
17:48Yes, Mary.
17:50I tell you, Charles, she's...
17:52That bloody director, I'll bet.
17:54She's with him right now.
17:56Ah, come on, David.
17:58Don't be ridiculous.
17:59So what's ridiculous?
18:01Mary's a very attractive woman.
18:02Well, of course she is.
18:04But you mustn't let fears become suspicions.
18:10Now, what evidence have you got?
18:14Well, nothing firm.
18:16Well, there you are.
18:18So stop getting paranoid.
18:24Charles, you don't think I'm going off my head, do you?
18:29Well, I think that you've been working very hard, that you're very tired, and that you could do with a good long rest.
18:35You do think I'm crazy?
18:37Now, listen, David.
18:39I've been treating you for nervous exhaustion, and you insist on going on working.
18:44I've also told you not to drink on top of the drugs which I've prescribed, and what do you do?
18:49I know, I'm sorry.
18:50So if you start to hallucinate, don't blame me, okay?
18:54Okay.
18:56Good.
18:58Now, physically, you'll survive.
19:02But you've got to take things easy.
19:07I'm going to give you a shot, and it should help you relax and sleep tonight.
19:10What do you want?
19:11What do you want?
19:39You betrayed me, David Winter.
19:42Leave me alone.
19:44Get out of here!
19:46You lied to me.
19:48You want to be rid of me.
19:51But I wanted to help you.
19:53You called the Witchfinder.
19:55Stop it! I won't listen!
19:57You want me to burn!
20:02You're not real.
20:03I know you only exist in my imagination.
20:09Go away!
20:12Is that the body of a ghost?
20:15Is that real, David Winter?
20:18Tell me.
20:19Hello? 3759.
20:34Mary? Charles.
20:36Charles? Where are you?
20:38I'm at home.
20:39Oh, is something wrong?
20:41Well, it's David.
20:43What?
20:44Well, he called me over just now.
20:46And I think he was hallucinating.
20:48Oh, my God.
20:50Why?
20:52How?
20:53Probably just strain.
20:56Plus the fact that he'd been drinking on top of the pills that I gave him.
20:59Oh, typical.
21:01What do you want me to do about it?
21:04Well, I don't think that he should be left alone more than can be helped.
21:08I see.
21:09He should be all right for tonight, because I've given him a shot.
21:12But if, uh...
21:13Okay.
21:14I'll drive back first thing in the morning.
21:16Sorry.
21:17But I do think that you should.
21:19Oh, god.
21:32Oh.
21:35Oh.
21:36Oh, my God.
22:06David! I'm home, darling!
22:36David?
22:55David?
22:59Are you all right?
23:05Charles phoned me.
23:06Oh, Charles.
23:08Last night.
23:12Last night?
23:15Oh, yeah.
23:16What happened?
23:20Didn't...
23:21Didn't Charles tell him?
23:22Not a great deal.
23:24He said you were hallucinating or something.
23:27Oh.
23:29There was a girl here.
23:34Oh?
23:37She was real.
23:40I know she was real.
23:44She was solid.
23:46Flesh and blood.
23:49But when Charles came, she wasn't here anymore.
23:54Well, I'm here now.
23:57Do you want some breakfast?
23:59Oh, yes.
24:01Yes, I'm starving.
24:04I'm absolutely ravenous.
24:06What'd you have last night?
24:07Apart from scotch?
24:09Uh...
24:11I don't remember.
24:14Okay.
24:15You stay up here.
24:17I'll get you something.
24:19Mary...
24:21She was here.
24:24She said she was a witch.
24:27Lucinda...
24:29Jessop, she called herself.
24:32She was here.
24:34Well, she doesn't seem to be here now.
24:41No.
24:42Come on.
24:43Lie down.
24:44I'll get you some breakfast.
24:48You're back!
24:51What?
24:52Oh!
24:54How did you do this?
24:57Oh.
25:01I don't know.
25:08Charles.
25:09I'm worried about him.
25:11I think he really is going out of his mind.
25:13No, he isn't.
25:15It'll be all right.
25:17But his back.
25:19It's absolutely covered in scratches.
25:22Deep, deep scratches.
25:24I mean, what kind of man would do that to himself if he was in his right mind?
25:28Look, it's simply the result of stress.
25:31Overwork.
25:32And the drugs you're giving him?
25:34Not on their own, no.
25:36Could it be dangerous?
25:37I don't think so.
25:39I mean, could he turn violent or anything?
25:42No, of course not.
25:44Now, you know that I wouldn't let you be exposed to any kind of threat.
25:48Are you sure?
25:50You were with him last night.
25:51Well, what was he like then?
25:53Disturbed.
25:54He kept on insisting that you have a lover.
25:59Hello?
26:00Listen, I saw Charles in the village.
26:01Yes.
26:02I thought you might.
26:03Oh?
26:04What did he say?
26:05Uh, he gave me some more pills for you.
26:06Something a bit different.
26:07Stronger?
26:08No.
26:09Just different.
26:10In case the other ones had something to do with what happened last night.
26:12Oh.
26:13No.
26:14No.
26:15No.
26:16No.
26:17No.
26:18No.
26:19No.
26:20No.
26:21No.
26:22No.
26:23No.
26:24No.
26:25No.
26:26No.
26:27No.
26:28No.
26:29No.
26:30No.
26:31No.
26:36Oh.
26:37I told you the girl was real.
26:38I didn't imagine it.
26:40Oh.
26:41Listen, David, why don't you give yourself a day off?
26:44We could relax.
26:45We could go for a walk.
26:51Oh.
26:52Bright.
26:55Good.
26:56I'll pop upstairs and change.
27:01Oh, my God.
27:31You, you are insane.
27:36It's only just dead.
27:39Look.
27:40How could I have done it?
27:41I don't know.
27:42Why?
27:43Why should I?
27:44I think I'm going to be sick.
27:48Oh, Cinder.
28:01Oh, my God.
28:31Oh, my God.
29:01Oh, my God.
29:31Oh, my God.
30:01Oh, my God.
30:31Mary, what are you doing?
30:40Well, I've been out looking for Billy.
30:41Oh, yes. Was he upstairs, then?
30:45What?
30:46I can put up with your fantasies, just.
30:48But when it comes to trying to kill me...
30:51Kill you?
30:53Don't be ridiculous.
30:55You just keep away from me.
30:57That thing, you pushed it.
30:59No.
31:02No, I didn't.
31:05No?
31:06What about this, then?
31:14That's her!
31:15Oh, yes.
31:17I recorded it this afternoon to prove that I wasn't imagining things.
31:21You always were a lousy liar. Get out of my way.
31:29What are you doing?
31:37I'm leaving, David. I've had enough.
31:39You can't leave me now.
31:41Get away from me. Leave me alone.
31:42You can't!
31:43You can't leave me alone.
31:45Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
32:15Oh, David.
32:45Oh, my darling.
32:47I'm sorry.
32:49I'm so sorry.
32:53Forgive me.
32:55Please.
32:57Please forgive me.
33:15Did you miss me last night, my love?
33:30No.
33:32Go on.
33:34Did you miss me, David, while you lay with her?
33:37She's my boy.
33:38She's unfaithful to you.
33:40She's a worthless strumpet, and you know it.
33:43Take me a long time, you.
33:45I'll leave you, my love, never.
33:48You're mine, David Winter.
33:50I've put my mark on you forever and ever.
33:54Amen.
33:58Get rid of her, David.
34:00You must get rid of that strumpet horse.
34:02She must be destroyed.
34:03Do you hear me?
34:06You belong to Lucinda Jassa.
34:13It sounds like a classic case of poltergeist activity.
34:16Ghosts?
34:17A mischievous spirit.
34:19Could you perform an exorcism?
34:22Well, I'd have to talk to the bishop.
34:24Yes, but could you?
34:25I mean, would that get rid of it, her?
34:28Possibly.
34:29Possibly not.
34:31One theory about poltergeists is that they could be a manifestation of telekinesis
34:35caused by someone living in the house.
34:40Telekinesis, that's some form of telepathy.
34:43Sort of.
34:44Some people appear to have the ability to move quite large objects
34:48and cause all sorts of physical upsets just by the power of thought.
34:54But things do actually happen. For real.
34:57Indeed, yes.
34:59It's nothing new either.
35:01It happened to John Wesley's family, you know, in his father's rectory.
35:06What about our witch? Did she really exist?
35:09Well, there was certainly a spate of witch hunting in the mid-17th century.
35:14You see this fellow here?
35:16Amos Franklin?
35:17He was the local witch finder.
35:20There was a craze for it in various parts of the country at that time.
35:24It's very interesting.
35:25Yes, I'm sure.
35:26But...
35:27Our master Franklin was a real fanatic.
35:30Hysterical puritanism, you know.
35:33Terrible thing.
35:34What about our mistress Jessup?
35:37The usual method of trial, it seems, was by water.
35:49Even though trial by ordeal had been illegal for centuries.
35:52But the witch finders claimed that Satan's disciples did not deserve fair trial.
35:58So they drowned them?
35:59Only the innocent ones.
36:01And the others they burned alive?
36:02Not always alive.
36:04Sometimes they strangled them first with a rope.
36:07I suppose they thought that was being merciful.
36:09No doubt.
36:10Ah!
36:11Here we are.
36:121652.
36:13There were several trials that year.
36:15May I see?
36:17One poor woman managed to escape.
36:19They raised a hue and cry but never found her.
36:21Where?
36:22There.
36:23Mistress Lucinda Jessup.
36:25Of Woodstock Farm.
