NARRATOR:Collinwood in the year .

On this night, two women are joined in common cause,

to destroy Quentin Collins.

One is Laura Collins, who has opened a locked door

and let a madwoman free.

The other is the crazed Jenny Collins,

out of her cell at last

and hunting her prey with terrible purpose.

DIRK: Jenny.

Jenny, where are you going?

The old house.

DIRK: Why are you going there?

Quentin is there.

DIRK: But you can't go to the old house

without a weapon.

You have to have a weapon.

And you don't have a weapon, do you, Jenny?

But you will have.

Just wait here, and I'll get you a weapon.

But it's very important, Jenny, that you stay right here.

You stay right here and wait for me.

"Wait for me."

Yes.

Wait for me, Quentin.

I'm coming to k*ll you.

[ eerie music ]

Jenny.

This is for you.

Oh!

Yes, now you can go to the old house.

Yes!

Wait.

No, I can't wait!

I've got to get to the old house!

You will wait!

No!

You're gonna go in here, all right?

You're gonna stay there until I come back.

Good evening, Dirk.

Oh, Dirk, tomorrow I want you to go to the house by the sea

and do all you can to help Reverend Trouse get it ready.

Did you hear me, Dirk?

Yes, ma'am.

Is everything all right down here?

DIRK: Yes, ma'am.

Well, then, go upstairs and check.

Well, go on, Dirk.

Quentin!

QUENTIN:They lied to you again, didn't they?

Telling you I was at the old house.

Oh, you!

[ Quentin laughing ]

Quentin!

Quentin, where are you hiding?

QUENTIN:Here, Jenny.

Here.

[ Quentin laughing ]

No, here!

Here I am, Jenny.

[ clattering ]

Oh!

[ grunting ]

[ Quentin laughing ]

Quentin, Quentin, where are you hiding?

Where?

QUENTIN:Right here, Jenny.

[screaming]

Who's in here?

[ laughing ]

Jenny!

What are you doing in here?

Looking for Quentin.

He's not here.

I know that.

He's away, far away.

Stop lying to me.

I'm not lying.

Yes you are!

But I lied to you too.

Did you know that?

That's all right, now.

You come along with me.

No, I'm going to the old house.

Quentin is at the old house.

He's gone.

He's going to be gone for a long time,

and you must come back to your room with me.

Oh!

Oh my God!

Jenny, put that knife down.

Put my knife down?

Before you get hurt.

No, Jenny won't be the one that's hurt.

Not anymore.

Jenny, don't come near me.

Don't come any nearer.

Stay away!

Jenny, Jenny, please, drop that knife!

Jenny!

[ screaming ]

She lied to me.

Well, I lied to her, too,

about who I am.

My father was a king of India,

and my mother was a princess,

and I am a princess,

and when I raise my hand and say "die",

then, of course, someone must die!

Quentin!

What is it?

Jenny's loose again.

She's heading to the old house. She's got a knife.

- I saw her. - We've got to go after her.

We've got to bring her back

to the room as quickly as possible.

What room?

We keep her locked in a room /\ in the basement.

Then how did she get through the door? By prayer and fasting?

I don't know.

Perhaps she stole a key.

- She's very sly. - Who has a key?

- Beth, of course, and Dirk. - Dirk?

Well, Dirk helps with her. Beth can't do it alone.

Ah, so Dirk knows about Jenny.

That means Laura knows.

What do you mean? No, I don't believe that.

You'd better believe that the problem of Jenny

can't be contained within the four walls of a locked room.

Not anymore.

All right. When we get back, I'll send her away, far away.

No place is far enough.

I brought Jenny here, I'm going to see that she leaves.

I made the mistake of letting everyone else deal with her.

That mistake almost cost me my life.

Quentin!

What do you mean you're going to see that she leaves?

What do you think I mean, sister dear?

[ wind blowing ]

Where's Quentin?

Quentin?

Yes, Quentin Collins.

He's here, I know that.

No, he's not here.

Don't lie to me.

Stop lying to me!

Who else is lying to you?

Edward and that cold one, Judith,

and sometimes Beth, but not so much.

What's your name?

Barnabus.

And yours?

Jenny. Jenny Collins.

Jenny, I am not lying to you.

You can come in and see for yourself

if Quentin's here or not.

Yes, I will.

I will do that.

[ door locking ]

Do you see him?

Sometimes he makes himself invisible,

and then all I can hear is his voice tormenting me.

Where did you come from?

Collinwood.

I live there.

Is it very lonely for you over there?

[ laughing ] Oh, no.

You see, I have my children.

Children?

You mean your dolls, don't you?

My children.

What's upstairs?

You may look if you like.

No, no, I must go out and find him.

Wait.

Quentin is not here now, but he's coming back,

and he told me to tell you to wait for him.

He told you that?

Yes.

What else did he tell you about me?

Did he tell you anything, did he?

- Yes. - What?

He said how beautiful you were.

He said that?

- Yes. - Oh.

That's why he married me.

Oh, he was very handsome, very.

Look, look!

[ giggles ] Oh, see?

Oh, there were many girls in love with him,

but he married me!

I am Mrs. Quentin Collins.

Who are you?

My name is Barnabus.

Barnabus.

His family disapproved, because I was a singer.

Do you like singing?

- Yes. - Oh!

After the children were born,

I would sing them to sleep.

♪ Hush-a-bye ♪

♪ Don't you cry ♪

♪ Go to sleep, my little baby ♪

♪ When you wake ♪

Do you know the rest of that?

No, I don't, I'm sorry.

JENNY: Oh.

It used to soothe the baby.

You mean the dolls?

JENNY: Ah!

Why do you keep calling them that?

Oh, the boy, he would fall asleep almost immediately,

but oh, the girl, she was more restless.

She would whimper like a newborn kitten.

A boy and a girl.

They were afraid some harm would come to them,

but I don't know why.

I don't know why, but they took 'em away.

They took my children away!

Where did they take them?

Where did they take them?

They didn't take them anywhere!

They're with me!

BARNABUS: With you?

Yes, of course.

Why, this afternoon, I dressed them for the funeral.

Oh!

Oh, I want to look in there!

No, you don't want to go in there.

- Yes I do! - He's not there.

But, I--

I tell you, Quentin is not there.

No, you lie!

You lie, just like all the others!

I told you, he will be here soon.

No!

No, he's here now, right now, hiding,

down there, waiting to k*ll me!

Well, I'm going to k*ll him instead!

No!

And if you try to stop me, I'm gonna k*ll you!

No, no!

What's the matter, Jenny?

You're gonna k*ll me now, aren't you?

No, I'm not going to k*ll you.

You see?

No more knife.

But Quentin is going to hurt me.

BARNABUS: No, he's not going to hurt you.

But you said he's coming here.

Why is he coming here?

You know why.

Because he's in love with you.

There were other girls, but he married you.

Oh, yes, yes he did!

He married me in a church.

When did you say he's coming back?

As soon as he can,

and you must be ready for him.

I don't understand.

Don't you want to wash your face and comb your hair

and put on a pretty dress,

so that you can tell him and show him how beautiful you are?

Oh, yes, yes!

Yes, I think I would like to do that!

Then come with me, Jenny.

Oh!

Oh, no!

You're sure he won't hurt me?

You're sure Quentin won't hurt me when he gets back?

No, he's not going to hurt you.

No one's going to hurt you, I promise you that.

Quentin!

What are you doing?

QUENTIN: I'm going hunting.

No, you can't!

QUENTIN: Oh, can't I?

She's a poor, mad creature.

She's an animal that has to be struck down

as quickly as possible.

An animal with a knife.

You're an animal with a g*n.

Stay out of my way, Judith.

I told you this is my problem,

I'd prefer to handle it alone.

You like this room?

Oh, oh, yes, I do!

Oh, I'm sorry I have no change.

Well, my husband always carries the money.

We've only been married two months.

I see.

Yes, we're on our way to see his family.

Oh! Who's that?

BARNABUS: Who?

That stranger, here in the mirror!

She frightens me!

A terrible-looking mirror!

I know how to make her go away.

On the dresser there, you'll find a comb and some powders,

and here in this chest, you'll find some dresses.

You must wear one of them, you understand?

Of course.

I always make myself beautiful for Quentin.

Comb.

I can't find it!

There's no comb here.

Here it is.

Oh, thank you.

Oh!

Oh my God, the mirror!

What about the mirror?

Oh!

If she is in the mirror,

then where am I?

DIRK: So, that's all I know about it.

So, you claim you didn't let her out?

Of course not.

I know how dangerous she can be.

So does Laura.

Look, I don't understand any of this,

and I think I oughta start looking for her.

You oughta start looking for her?

When did you join the search party?

Well...

I just feel very bad that she got out,

don't you understand?

Aww.

She could be anywhere by now.

Let Dirk help find her.

Yes, he can look near the cottage.

Jenny, I must go now,

but I want you to stay here in this room.

Yes, until Quentin comes for me.

Yes, until Quentin comes for you.

Some people will be here to look after you

until he comes, do you understand?

Of course.

Why shouldn't I?

Do you like the way I look?

Yes, I do.

Don't flirt with me.

Quentin is very jealous.

And he will be here soon.

Magda.

Magda!

Magda?

Magda...

And Sandor.

[ rooster crowing ]

QUENTIN:"Dear Magda,

The woman upstairs in Josette's room..."

Don't be frightened.

It doesn't matter if Quentin's family doesn't like you.

Quentin loves you.

That's all that matters.

Fool.

Fool.

Mmm.

[ knocking ]

Quentin?

Quentin, is that you?

Yes, Jenny, it's me.

Oh, Quentin!

Quentin, you were away so long.

I was beginning to worry.

I'm sorry, Jenny.

But you'll never have to worry again.
