Puppet Master

Life... upon my life.

Ohh. So beautiful.

I know.

They're coming.

Don't worry. Don't Worry.

I'll take care of you.

Did you understand everything?

It's very important.

All right?

Let's go then.

I'm coming.

We know. We saw them coming.

Now, don't be frightened.

I'm not going to let anything happen to you.

I'm going to hide you...

... in a nice, safe place.

What a shame we did not have more time.

Andre Toulon?

Mr. Toulon.

You can't save her, Alex.

Do you see something, ma'am? Oh, yes.

I see many great things for you.

Yeah?

You have a wonderful life ahead of you, young lady.

Do you see marriage, maybe?

Most definitely.

In a very short period of time, you two are gonna be happily married.

And you are gonna to have...

...a little boy.

No... Yes, you are...

He's a rambunctious little buddy, but he's gonna be a good little boy.

And then you're gonna have a little girl.

You know, ma'am, that's really great. I like that, but, umm...

...do you think Buddy here's ever gonna get...

...a real job?

I see retail sales.

What?

Retail sales? No, ma'am. I'm sorry.

You better look again, because...

Buddy here, he flunked out of the tenth grade...

... I don't see how he can be in retail sales.

But you see here I see construction.

I see you working as a foreman...

... of a construction company...

... in a retail store.

Kind of like an enormous shopping mall.

You are gonna to be a rich man.

You are gonna to build a shopping mall.

Yes, sir, you are gonna to be a rich man.

Oh, maybe I will marry him, then.

I sit next to a very rich man.

I'm a gold mine.

What else do you see, ma'am?

All I think I see is your grandmother.

She isn't going to be around very long.

My grandmother's already dead, ma'am.

Well, it's...

... it's really your grandmother.

Oh, Buddy. I'm sorry.

Ma'am?

I think something's wrong with her.

- Ready, Carlissa? - Yes. - Ok

Now commencing real-time thought transmission experiment...

... RT 638.

Passive subject: Andrea Clark.

Active subject: Carlissa Stamford.

All right, Andrea.

I want you to recreate in your mind...

... your wildest sexual fantasy...

... paying particular attention to the details.

All right?

Good.

All right, Carlissa?

Yes.

Begin sequence...

... now.

Are you getting anything about a man...

... on a horse, in the rain?

No.

Now she's running down the beach...

... and she's naked.

He's getting very close to her.

You're not getting any of this?

No. Why am I getting this...

... and you're not?

This little girl has a very vivid imagination.

- Hello. - Hi, it's Alex.

Hello, Alex. We were expecting your call.

You've had contact too, then?

Yes, last night while we were experimenting.

It was very, very strong.

What... what does it mean?

Why all of us at once?

It means Gallagher located...

... the old puppet master's hiding place.

...and he's calling for some kind of a meeting.

We also received a call from the white witch.

Oh, you mean Dana?

Yes... ... the lovely Dana.

She knows the location.

It's an old hotel on the Californian coast...

... called the Bodega Bay Inn.

I want you to come along, Alex.

We'll need all our collected powers.

Dana feels that this is not going to be a friendly meeting.

Well, I don't know who they think they are.

... just barging in here out of the blue.

They're probably the friends Neil said would come.

They don't look like friends to me.

They look more like trouble.

Shhh. Theresa, don't be rude.

Hello. I'm Megan Gallagher.

Somebody married Neil?

Hi, I'm Alex Whitaker.

I'm Frank Forrester.

This is Dana Hadley and...

... Carlissa Stamford.

Hello.

I hope this visit wasn't entirely unexpected.

No, no. Neil told me you'd be coming.

And where might old Neil be?

I thought you knew.

Knew what?

He shot himself.

But why?

That's the hard part. I don't know why.

He left a note...

... but all he said was he didn't want to be buried...

... until you all arrived.

So now that you're here, we'll bury him tomorrow.

You can stay.

Of course.

No problem.

Well, I'll show you to your rooms, and then we'll see about some dinner.

Excuse me, Mrs. Gallagher.

Would you mind if...

... we stayed behind a while...

... to pay our respects?

No, not at all.

I think Neil would appreciate that.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Don't touch the body.

Frank, what the hell is going on around here?

And how is it that we didn't pick up...

... on the fact that he was dead?

I don't know.

Somehow he was able to block the image...

... when he...

... send that signal to us.

What are you doing?

Just making sure he is what he appears to be.

Charming.

Dead as a doornail.

How did you know Neil?

Oh, he and I worked together on a project.

I'm a professor of anthropology at Yale University.

You're staring at me.

Sorry.

It's just that Neil was...

... so obsessed with his work...

... it's hard to imagine him...

... taking time-out to get married.

These rooms, they haven't been used...

... for quite a while.

You know people used to come here...

...just to see this place from all over?

The Queen of England came here once.

I took care of her myself.

That's an interesting aroma.

What is it?

A Korean dragon's blood.

What are you doing?

I'm cleaning your etheric body.

What?

It's for protecting.

Listen to me. You are in great danger.

Do not go near the fireplace, whatever you do.

Why?

Don't go near the fireplace.

I have to go. I have work to do.

This isn't gonna to be easy.

There's my little darling.

Hello, sweetheart.

I bet you are starving to death.

Got you a ??? dog.

You can't save her, Alex.

Right this way.

Pity about dear Neil.

Were you friendly with him?

Not very.

Sorry to hear that.

What's wrong?

Something happened in this elevator.

Something...

What?

A man forcing a woman to have sex.

What man?

What man?

It was Gallagher.
