In room 36, Schweick is painting a landscape of hell. The group of men are met outside the hotel by another group of men in cars. Emily reads the preface of the book which explains that the book contains the prophecies of Eibon. Larry? watches as the mob of men rush into the hotel. The mob breaks into Schweick's room and Mob Leader accuses Schweick of being a warlock. The Mob Leader hits Schweick with a chain and as he is being beaten, Schweick says that the hotel and town shall be condemned forever for their actions. Emily reads the book which describes the seven gateways to hell.

Unknown to the mob, next to the impaled Schweick is a symbol for the gateway to hell.
