They say the last thing she cried out
As they put the noose around her neck,
Was a curse on all the children of the land.
Don't they usually burn witches?
She wasn't like any other witch.
She wouldn't drown.
She wouldn't burn.
It took nine hours before she finally died.
They took her down and cut up her body
And placed it in nine unmarked graves.
My granddad says witches don't exist.
Of course they do. My dad was there.
He saw the hanging.
Blood leaked from her eyes.
The children didn't get sick
When they played around the tree.
People are saying that Aldric has got plague.
His sister said he was always playing around the hanging tree.
She searches out other children
Just like her only son, Ulric.
- Did she really murder him? - Yes.
She took her son while he was sleeping.
At St. Jonas' farm.
She slit his throat open.
Along with the pigs.
They say you can still hear him crying through the trees.
Trying to ward off other children,
She wants to play with her son.
There's only one way to find out
If what they say about Isobel is true.
We must put our sticks in the fire,
And whoever's burns up the quickest,
Must touch the witching tree.
I must say, Mrs. Thorson,
I was quite surprised to hear that you wanted to go ahead with it
After everything that's happened.
It's what Tony would've wanted.
For me to have gone through with it.
Well, I think it's a very brave decision.
Have you heard anymore from the hospital?
No.
But he's going to get better.
Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.
You know, I grew up not far from here,
And... well, to me, St. Jonas' farm
Always had something
Of the heavens about it.
It's not so bad for an 800-year old house, is it?
It's done quite well.
Anyway, I think you and your family
Are going to be very happy here.
[Birds chirping]
I've left some tea bags on the counter for you.
And...
Don't believe the things you hear about Isobel.
And there's milk in the fridge.
What?
Milk.
There's milk in the fridge
If you wanted to make yourself a cup of tea.
Thank you.
It's a healing stone.
It's meant to be stronger than some doctors.
I take it Mom has told you about the farm.
Why did you decide to live on a farm when you were kids?
It's all right for you. You're in a fucking coma.
Come on. You know you want to wake up and ground me.
It's the "F" word.
Jake.
I knew you'd be here. What are you doing?
Trying to get Dad to wake up and ground me.
You're lucky I got home before Mom.
She finds that you're bunking again
And I'm covering up for you, she'll kill us both.
Dad's not waking up anytime soon to stop her.
I cannot be bothered with today.
- Is it the same lads? - No.
They don't bloody bother me anymore.
Don't swear. "Bloody" isn't swearing.
- Yeah, it is. - And how come Mr.Henderson is always saying it
When shouting at me for bunking?
Cause Mr. Henderson is a dick.
Look, go away outside.
See you on Thursday, Dad.
Hi, Dad.
Mom really is losing it without you, you know?
If you don't wake up soon...
I'll bring you some new flowers from the farm when we move in.
[Door opens]
So, what do you think?
I think,
When did we become Dickens children?
- Does it have heating? - Oh, don't start.
You've got much bigger bedrooms here than in the last place.
Why? The animals aren't sleeping with us, are they?
We don't do the whole nativity look, Mom.
No, because the last holiday we had, I couldn't even get you in a barn.
I've decided I want to become a vegetarian. Like Emma.
You don't want to be a vegetarian like Emma.
You just want to wind me up.
Now, finish your lamb.
I don't want to eat Shawn the Sheep.
It's not Shawn the Sheep.
It's off from a TV contract from Wallace and Gromit.
That sheep was killed and put in the plate for you to eat.
How come Emma's allowed to be a vegetarian and I'm not?
Because Emma decided to become a vegetarian before we moved to the farm,
And before she was trying to make a statement about it.
- Well, I'm not hungry then. - You've beenunpacking all day. How can you not be hungry?
- I'm not. - Fine, fine.
Then feed the rest to the pigs and get to bed.
Not from the plate.
It'll make the washing up easier.
He's getting worse than you.
Maybe if you don't make the meat so rare and bloody,
It might not put him off so much.
That's how I've always cooked it.
Yeah, and you've already got one daughter who's a vegetarian.
Maybe take the hint.
He's already started naming the animals.
I told him not to do that.
Yeah, well, I suggest you make sure he doesn't name any of them Shawn.
"Happy moving in."

[Vocalizing]
I've given you a checklist of things to do.
Have you included point 22, killing myself?
You'll enjoy it once you get used to it. Why?
Have you agreed to start paying me ten pounds an hour?
You help here on the farm, you get free rent.
So, as I'm technically paying rent,
Does that mean I can have boys over?
Possibly.
Except for Mike.
Look, I'm the landlord, I set the terms.
Speaking of pigs, let's get you introduced.
[Crows cawing]
Where did he go? Come back here.
Why do you want to be in a coma like your dad?
Ow.
What are you sketching?
Nothing.
The pigs keep on making funny noises.
They're just getting used to their new home.
Like we are.
[Cell phone vibrating]
- Seriously, if your mom... - My mom what?
Look, she's got a farm now, and she's got a shotgun.
So... you're my naughty.
Naughty rabbit.
I love it when you do the Emma-fucked-over thing.
[Bed creaks]
Jake?
Emma?
What is it?
Thought I heard voices.
Maybe it was Jake.
No, I've just checked him.
You have been drinking. Maybe it's the voices in your head.
[Panting]
There was something in there.
Yeah! You!
Why do you always have to have such a problem with him?
It's because Dad's not here to approve?
I just found him in your bedroom with his trousers down.
You would at least let him put them back on before you threw him out the front door.
- He was expelled from school for having weed. - Oh, that was ages ago. He was 15.
- That makes it worse. - He was set up.
By the teacher's little league wee club?
Yeah, I thought they always seemed a bit high that Paris evening.
Don't try to be funny, Mom. It's embarrassing.
- He's an idiot. - He's a cute idiot.
Do you want to end up like me? Pregnant at 16?
I was such a big fucking mistake, was I?
He's not having his trousers down again with you in my house.
Fine. I'll invite him out for random nudity when I'm out.
God, sometimes I wish I was religious like Dad,
Because then I could go into confession and tell them I'm guilty
Of thinking my mom is a bitch.
[Door slams]
Emma.
Dad?
[Kid's voice whispering] Isobel.
[Gasps]
[Exhales]
Jake.
Hey, guys.
How are you?
Dad still hasn't woken up.
Mom and Emma have been fighting again.
Can't even taste the bacon.
Have you not intended to muck the pigs out and that?
Very funny.
Caught Jake sleepwalking again last night.
He hasn't done that since Dad went into the coma.
He's just adjusting to the new house.
It'll stop once we're settled in.
I've got to get him off. Make sure you get that assignment done today.
Is that before or after I feed the pigs?
Whichever you want to conform to the most.
Pigs.
[Pigs grunting]
Oh, God. You guys eat more than Uncle Johnny.
[Pigs grunting]
The esophagus was probably torn, which would have made it cough up blood.
Did the pigs come from the same litter?
No, they were bred by friends of my husband.
It's a nice farm, St. Jonas.
A bit scary.
I had heard.
No, I meant, have I taken on too much?
Yeah, of course.
My dad used to be the vet here.
I've just taken on the family business.
He did say the family before said the house had a few problems.
With-With the roof.
[Shouting] Stop, stop.
No!
I spoke to the doctor again.
You said that you'd reconsider after two weeks.
Jake said he saw his hand move. Oh.
Jake would say anything, the same as you would.
Tony would hate this.
And how do you know what Tony would want?
- I'm his mother. - And he's my husband.
And he spoke to me a hell of a lot more than he spoke to you.
And how much do you speak to your children now?
Living in your little world,
Trying to create this fantasy home for him to come back to.
He might.
He would rather die than come back like that.
Oh. It would be worse for him than being in a coma.
And if that did happen,
You wouldn't have the option to switch him off.
You've got to let go, Amber.
Those children have got to let go.
And if you can't do it for you and Tony,
Then do it for Emma and Jake.
Two more weeks.
That is what you always say.
This time I mean it.
- Hey, you moved into that new farm. - So?
Only just moved in and already smells of pig shit.
- How much did you pay for it? - I don't know.
Probably got a good rate considering what happened there.
Nothing happened there.
- You're calling me a liar? - No.
You know, if you want us to stop picking on you,
All you need to do is show us that you're all right.
- How can I be all right? - Do something.
- Like what? - I don't know.
Find out why that woman murdered her family.
- No woman murdered... - Yes, she did.
She was just like your mom.
And they moved in. Just like your family did.
She gave him sleeping pills before going to sleep and burnt him alive.
Afterwards, the mom hanged herself in the barn.
Still no one knows why.
But your mom will do exactly the same thing to you and your sister
If you don't find out in time.
How am I going to find that out?
Tyler's big brother is in something not really kosher.
- Right, Tyler? - Yeah.
- Embarrassing kid. - Hey.
And he's got one of these Ouija boards like in The Exorcist.
You've come to help me?
Ma, are you all right?
Why are you all covered in mud?
I fell over.
Were you and Nan talking about Dad again today?
No, she's just dropped by to let me know
That apparently she's become the first female pope.
I saw more letters have come through from the hospital.
Still no signs of improvement then?
I hope you don't... Um, bloody vegan,
What am I meant to put in these rolls?
- If you kids think... - Mom, I support you in whatever you want to do with Dad.
Jake is not ready to let him go.
- What did you tell Nan? - Two weeks.
How did she take that?
Well, let's just say your dad wasn't lying when he said that your Nan
Could breathe fire like a dragon.
[Gasps]
What?
I just saw something outside.
Jake.
Mom is really letting you go out in that?
Luckily, mom had to go to London early today, so she won't see it.
You'd better head off.
I will do. I'm taking my bike, so I can leave later.
Yeah, well, I'm heading out after college, so I'll be back later.
You can microwave yourself something if you get hungry.
[Music from TV]
You need to watch your sleepwalking, okay?
- Sleepwalking? - Yeah, we found you outside last night.
- Where? - Barn.
You weird child.
Bet SpongeBoob doesn't have to deal with this shit.
And you're sure they won't be back until later?
No. My mom's in London.
And my sister is visiting my dad.
The one in the coma?
Course he means the one in the coma.
How many dads do you think he's got?
His mom's not like yours.
Right beneath where she hung herself.
[Laughter]
Come on. Put your hand on the thing.
He's got to plant it.
Told you not to get potsie.
Come on.
Put your hand on it.
- You, too. - What? Why me?
I thought it was just him.
You told me it worked better with more than one person.
I ain't doing it on my own.
Yeah, but I ain't really used it in a place
Where someone died before.
That's why we're here, dickhead. Now, do it.
I ain't putting me hand on that thing.
I'm a girl. I'm not as stupid as you three.
That's debatable.
Come on, paranormal. Speak to them.
- Like what? - I don't know. The usual crap.
Is anybody there? [Blowing]
Fuck.
[Animal grunting]
Jordan, look.
You sure did that, Tyler.
No, I didn't. I swear on Eminem's life.
Go on. Jake. It's your turn now.
Are you the mom that killed her children?
[Sighs] Boys are so Stu...
Are you one of her kids?
Did you die near here?
Oh, what a fucking waste. Bet you didn't even get a decent death?
You're not supposed to piss off the board.
I told you not to get potsie.
What does it mean?
Nine.
Is that how old you were when you died?
Did you die near here?
Guys, I-I think we should stop this. Shh.
Were you ill?
Guys, really, stop this.
Were you murdered?
How did you die?
"K."
Oh, my God.
Can we please stop?
Jordan, Tyler, this is really not funny.
Stop it.
"Knife."
Are you alone?
Are there others?
How many?
We need to say goodbye.
No. No, it's just getting good.
Gives us a sign that you're here.
You're not supposed to ask for signs.
My brother said it's dangerous.
It's only a stupid board. Shh.
Can you hear that?
Are all the animals in here, Jake?
I don't know. I think so.
Ask the board, Jake. Do it.
Is that you outside?
Do you know who is?
Is it dangerous?
Ah! [Screams]
[Laughter]
You dick, Simon.
Sorry, Shelley. We couldn't resist.
You should have seen your face, Jake.
You would have pissed yourself.
Oh, that was fucking genius, bro.
[Laughing]
Come on, let's get out of here.
This place smells of pig shit. Yeah, freak boy crapped himself.
That's whacked He really thought it was someone dead.
Ha, ha. Is it fucking dangerous?
Hey, they're my dad's.
We're saving them for when he wakes up.
Relax. Who are you more afraid of?
The dead kid in the barn?
Where's Tyler?
I don't know.
Probably upstairs having a piss on your new carpet.
What are you doing?
Get off. That's my dad's.
What do you save for? Now he's in hospital.
What's going on? He steals so his mom doesn't have to work tonight.
You know, I bet your dad's not even in a coma.
He's just pretending so he doesn't have to see you.
Any idea of who my dad is?
No one takes the piss out of my family.
- It's not his fault his mom's a slut. - Fuck you.
I've had enough of your shit.
So, what are we going to do with him?
- No. - Shut up.
You want to have fun playing with the dead kids?
No, please, don't put me in there.
[Screams] Aw, sobbing, such a cry baby.
Think about those murdered kids.
You're lucky.
[Jake screaming]
[Screaming]
Don't you think it's a bit much locking him up upstairs?
Nah. He won't be in there for long.
Just want to see if his dad's got any adult channels.
[Jake screaming]
[Music from TV]
Untie me! Please!
- I'd top talking if I was you! - No!
You might end waking them up!
Help! No!
- Please untie me! - Shut up!
Help me!
No, please!
Untie me!
No! Come back!
Help!
His outward is getting better.
It's a shame you can't see it.
[Muffled music]
Still in his room?
I left it with Jake.
Sod, dick.
- Why? - You know why.
[Muffled music]
[Voice whispering] Iza.
Guys. Is that you?
Here, Simon. Come check this show.
It might teach you a thing or two.
[Woman moaning]
Don't do the arm thing.
Fucking hell.
[Woman moaning]
Are you sure Jake is going to be all right up there?
Don't worry, he's tied up. What's he going to do?
Oh. Fucking freak.
How did you get out?
Is that you?
If it is, please stop it.
Tyler, I'm tired of this run.
Did you just see that?
Mm?
Sorry, I was on Facebook.
Ben's broken up with Gemma.
My dad's hand, it just moved.
Whoever it is, this isn't funny.
Dad?
Give me a sign.
Jake?
[Voice whispering] Iza.
Please don't hurt me.
Jake.
Get the nurse.
What is it, Dad?
What are you trying to say?
Someone, please.
Jake.
Yes, Jake.
I know it's you. Stop.
House.
Don't do this.
House.
This is not funny.
Who is there? Help me.
Stop it!
I know it's you!
Help!
I'm letting him out.
Bloody hell. He screams louder than she does.
[Jake screaming]
Help!
[Screaming]
[Pounding]
Jake, where have they put you?
Let me out of here!
[Crash]
What the fuck?
[Muffled screams]
What's going on in there, Tyler?
[Pounding]
Let me out!
Help me!
What's going on?
[Pounding] Stop it!
Let me out of here!
- Jake? - Let me out!
[Muffled screams]
[Screaming stops]
[Hinges squeak]
Please stop it!
[Screaming]
[Pounding]
Stop!
Let me out!
Let me out of here!
Please! Somebody!
Help!
[Pounding]
This isn't funny.
Let me out! I don't like it!
Help!
[Screaming]
[Shelley screaming]
[Child crying]
[Voice whispering] Isobel.
[Child crying]
They can tend to speak quite a bit at this stage,
But it's just a reaction from the nerves.
Just try not to get your hopes up too much.
Okay?
I want to get back to the house.
Got this really bad feeling something's wrong.
Help.
Jake.
[Screaming]
Jake. Jake, stop, it's me.
Look. Jake. Jake, stop.
Look, look, look. Look, it's me. It's Mike.
It's Mike. You're all right.
You're all right.
You're okay.
They were here. They were here.
They're gone now.
They're gone.
[Clock ticking]
I can see from the runes your sister walks a happy path.
Is she with someone?
Tell me, do you grieve any children?
No.
A child your sister doesn't know has stepped up from off the path.
I don't know of any child.
Where are you from, child?
This is not your path.
[Whispering] Nine.
Stop this. I want to hear from my sister.
No. She's gone.
Please stop this.
[Whispering] Play.
Shoo.
Crazy woman.
[Coughing]
Get my sister.
Crazy.
What's happening?
[Coughing]
- They're back. - Who?
The children.
- Where? - To a place named after a saint.
Come on, calm down.
Made you a tea.
Five sugars and extra milk, just how you like it.
Did they take anything?
I don't think so.
Mike found a rucksack of stuff upstairs.
Dad's necklace. They put it on me.
Shh, it's okay.
Probably just fell off somewhere.
We'll find it.
- What is it? - There's someone out there.
I think they're still here.
We've called the police.
You better fuck off now.
[Breathing]
Thankfully Jake gave us the names of the boys, Mrs. Dawson.
We can head over to their houses immediately.
What sort of kids are they? Imagine what they could have done to him.
I know the names of two of them. Troubled homes.
But I must say this is a little bit extreme for them.
But I promise you we take things very seriously.
We can get the school to monitor it as well.
I can't believe I didn't know what was going on.
Kids have a way of keeping bullying in secret. Specially boys.
Unfortunately when they do, things can get out of hand.
But at least we can deal with it now,
Although you really do need to get your son to talk to you if anything else happens.
Don't worry, I will.
You were meant to be looking after him.
What do you want me to do? Babysit him until he's 15?
- You'd better not bully that boy! - Do you dare blame this on me?
Maybe if you weren't so worried about making this stupid farm for Dad
Who's never going to wake up.
[Sobs]
[Birds chirping]
Do you think that maybe Jake can't talk to you for a reason?
We're already losing our dad.
We don't want to lose our mom as well.
Sorry.
Didn't know you felt like that.
We know you're hurting.
We don't want to put anymore crap on you.
Why did you have to go and buy a house where a mother killed her kids?
What?
Don't be ridiculous. Who told you that?
Jake.
[Horses running on TV]
[Knock on door]
- What are you watching? - Game of Thrones.
Not going to help, is it? Hey.
Look, I've just paused it.
You can get back to watching people die in a minute.
I heard those bullies were telling you stories.
I just looked into it, and a woman did kill herself in the barn.
But she didn't kill any kids.
Maybe she did.
Maybe she strangled them and buried them in the woods.
Maybe that's why she hanged herself.
She was just a lonely woman who was depressed and drank too much.
Why?
People thought she was mad.
Her husband took her kids away from her.
That's not going to happen to you though, right?
Of course not. Why would you say that?
- Nan said... - You don't have to listen to what your Nan has to say.
I'm nearly losing your dad.
I'm not going to lose you two as well.
You should have told me what those kids were up to.
I know you have enough to worry about.
I can help you and your sister more than I can help your dad.
You're my priority, not some stupid farm.
Okay?
Millie, it's fine. The police and school are already involved.
He's just a bit shaken.
They've already been round.
Mom.
Jake?
Those little shits.
There's nine of them.
Jake.
Do you want to be sleeping in my bed now?
People might think it's weird.
[Squealing]
You sure you didn't leave the back door open?
I'm sure.
- Somebody did. - Maybe Jake.
Whoever it was, we need to be more careful.
Maybe I'll put a lock on his bedroom door. Really?
Well, just until he's settled down and he stops sleepwalking.
I'll go and lock up the rest of the house.
We've only been here five minutes
And the fridge already looks like a slaughterhouse.
What's with all the boxes?
I ordered extra security.
I'll put it up later.
Those kids won't come round here again with cameras up.
I'll get Jake to help me.
Give him something to do.
Oh, great. So, they'll end up on Crimewatc instead.
It's either that or the shotgun.
Yeah, I thought you could maybe drive me into town tonight.
This new house has been a complete nightmare. It is seriously trash.
[Sighs]
[Static electricity]
[Exhales]
There's nothing there, Emma.
- You were just drunk. - I saw something.
We've both watched it back and there's nothing there apart from a glitch.
And I don't want you drinking like that again on a college night, okay?
Not all of us are alcoholics like you.
The police said the rats probably came from a pet shop.
What, a bunch of kids broke into a pet shop and stole some rats?
I'm worried, Mike.
I've got the same feeling I had before my dad had the accident.
Look, Emma, it's just kids messing about, that's all.
With dead rats? Yeah, well, they're fucked up kids.
Let's be thankful they didn't break into a zoo.
[Thump]
[Quick breathing]
[Gasps]
Who's there?
Wait.
Come back.
Children of the plague?
I found something.
There's nine of them.
What if we dig up their bodies?
There's only one way to find out.
- Really? - You're not going to make me do it.
I better not be the one who gets the curse for digging them up.
[Digging]
There's nothing down here.
How did the book say she did it?
She slit their throats.
Like her son.
And like her pigs on the farm.
We should take it to the police.
And how do we explain we found it?
The knife is what, over a thousand years old?
What are they going to do? Put it in the British Museum?
I thought you wanted to be a vegetarian.
I don't feel well.
It's probably just the stress of what those kids did.
You'll be all right in a couple of days.
[Deep breathing]
[Gasps]
[Snoring]
Emma.
Oh, Jake. Jake.
Get my mobile. Now.
Jake.
Emma? Well, now.
I haven't seen you come to church for quite a while.
Haven't felt like coming much.
Not since Dad.
You know I'm here if you ever need to talk.
I'm scared, Father.
I think Jake's becoming ill.
I'm going to lose him, too.
He's not had an accident like your dad?
No.
Do you believe in demons, Father?
Well, technically, that's part of my job description.
We moved into this new farm,
And there's this tree nearby.
We think it's the Redwood tree.
Have you heard the story?
One about Uric Redwood?
Yes.
And his poor mother
They hanged for witchcraft.
So, it's not just a story then.
What has any of that have to do with your brother?
Weird stuff has been happening.
- What kind of stuff? - Creepy stuff.
We found a knife buried in the woods between nine stones.
The plague children.
What happened to them?
Did they really bleed to death?
No one knows.
They... disappeared.
When I was a boy,
Working at the cathedral,
I found a book.
It recorded the deaths of nine children.
But next to each of the names,
There was drawn an upside down crucifix.
You've heard of something to do with this about Redwood before, haven't you?
There was a young lad,
A long time ago now.
A local.
He probably played in the same woods as your brother.
Well,
He became sick.
You know, like in the stories.
What happened to him?
I was sent by Father Flanagan.
I've never seen Eva have such a strong vision before.
There's something wrong.
His name was Nathan Harrison.
The priest couldn't help him.
Nor the doctors.
So, they took him to the last place that they knew.
Where?
Witchcraft.
I was very young at the time,
And my sister was a bit older.
She stayed with my mother during the exorcism.
Your mom saved him.
She did.
[Speaking in Latin]
But she didn't save herself.
Eve was the only one who saw what happened.
And it's the last thing that she saw.
Your little brother,
He didn't say goodbye to the spirits, did he?
No.
They came to him.
Because he is a child, like they are.
They are not afraid of him.
Tell me, did he speak to Isobel?
I don't think so.
He said it was just the children.
Your father, he's in a coma, isn't he?
How did you... I can feel him.
[Thundering]
He's still in this world, but not quite in the next.
He has already opened the gates.
Now he merely waits for them to close.
Don't say that. He's coming back.
Being blind to this world and seeing in the next is a terrible burden.
A burden not even bestowed upon the worst of demons.
[Whispering voices]
[Thundering]
Mom, please, give her a chance.
I'm not letting some nutty spiritualist into this house.
Don't you think there's been enough damage caused to your brother?
What's wrong with you going round to a place like that?
Dad would believe us.
Just leave it alone, Emma.
You're giving me a headache.
I'm just about to get things back to normal on this farm.
Go and check on your brother.
[Jake retching]
[Retching]
Oh, my God, Jake.
Mom!
This is what happened to the other children, isn't it?
Doctors can't help me,
And they can't help Dad.
No, it's not true.
I just don't want to end up like the pigs.
I'll do what I can to make you better, I promise.
[Groaning]
[Cell phone vibrating]
Mom?
They're holding him in for tests.
He's going to be fine now.
[Sniffles]
I need you to watch the farm, okay?
Okay.
If anything happens or any alarms go off,
I need you to call the police immediately.
Do you hear me?
Yes.
[Sniffles]
[Crying]
[Thundering]
Thanks for coming over.
That's what good boyfriends are for.
There must be something we can do.
What? Where did you throw that Ouija board?
Out back in the recycling bin.
It isn't collected until tomorrow.
Jake didn't say goodbye at the end of the séance.
What if we can?
[Thundering]
Is there anyone in this barn but us?
Are any of the nine children here?
Give us some sort of sign to know where you are.
[Exhales]
She said they spoke to Jake 'cause he was a kid.
What is it?
The knife.
It's moved.
It's pointing towards the woods.
Let's put it on the board.
Can you hear me from the woods?
[Sharp scream]
Was this knife used to kill you?
Can you spell your name?
Can you do it for me?
"U."
For Uric.
Mike.
Don't turn around.
[Whispering] What is it?
There's something beneath the bales of hay.
There's nothing there.
[Whispering] They search out to the end,
Covered in red.
Let's get back to the house.
Mike!
Emma.
I don't think they want to say goodbye.
What's all this?
It happened last night.
So much for your cameras.
Every single camera went down at the same time.
It must have short circuited the electricity.
- Did you call the police? - What good have they done so far?
Mom, this is not a bunch of kids from Jake's school.
Did you do this?
To try and get me to believe the dead children crap? No.
As if I do that with Jake laying in the hospital?
Get this place cleaned up.
He's coming home tonight. It's the last thing he's going to want to see.
Get yourself off to college.
Mom's at work. She doesn't know I've invited you here.
She still doesn't believe you after what happened last night?
I don't think she knows what to believe any more. Neither do I.
I can feel them. The children.
Please, Tony, help me.
I don't know what I'd do if I lost him as well as you.
What?
Speak to me. What is it I need to do?
Eva.
Eva?
You can feel there's been much pain, screaming.
I can hear them singing, like a choir.
No angel dare tread here.
My brother's become worse.
I can feel they're scared for him like you are.
They know what is coming, but their cries are too weak to make out.
Do you have the knife?
[Clank]
How many of you are there?
[Clanking]
Nine. No, wait. There's another.
[Clank]
The depth... has sung.
[Exhales]
There's a terrible secret held by this knife.
The cut is deep.
Not as deep as the ones of the children who cry.
Am I going to end up in hospital like Dad?
No, of course not.
It's just the doctors can't find anything wrong with you.
The doctors say you need two weeks off school to rest.
Not all bad, eh?
You have to listen to me, mom. Jake needs help the doctors can't give him.
I'm not listening to this shit.
They couldn't find anything wrong with him. He was throwing up blood.
He's fine now, and they will find out what is wrong with him.
As soon as the test results come in.
The other children in the story,
They started throwing up blood just like Jake.
Please, give Eva one chance.
Eva?
I can't believe I'm letting that boy into this house.
[Sighs]
He'll be asking for his weed next.
Do you believe in all that stuff?
Mm?
Let's just leave them to it.
Do you want to play a video game or something?
I don't really feel like playing.
Once Eva opens the gateway between us, we cannot break the circle.
We will be the energy holding the gates together.
If we do not close the circle properly,
Dead matter can escape and harm us.
What about the gate with the old neighbor's Labrador?
You've great pain, Mrs. Thorson.
But it doesn't come close to the pain between worlds.
You know nothing of my pain.
I may not feel your pain,
But I've held the pain of many a tortured soul,
Just like I hold your hand now.
Do you think they'll be down soon?
Let us begin.
I can feel a great darkness in this house.
Light of my mere living body may not burn so bright.
But I ask you.
Let me walk with you in the darkness.
Come towards my living light
So we may see and hear your echoes.
Does anyone out there in the darkness know who this knife belongs to?
I can feel them.
The children.
They're afraid to come out of the dark.
They're frightened.
They're crying.
Don't be afraid, children. We're not going to harm you.
Come take our hands.
They need us to let them know that we are not going to harm them.
Please tell them. They're so scared.
Don't be afraid of us.
We're here to help. Come to us.
[Kids crying]
Speak to them.
Please, don't be scared.
Tell us what you want with my brother.
[Kids crying]
Let them know you mean no harm.
Of course I wouldn't harm any child.
I'm a mother.
That's right, children. Come towards us.
Come out of the darkness.
[Kids crying]
They're here.
[Kids crying]
[Eva whispering] Can you feel them?
In the room with us?
Help us. Please!
How old are you, child?
Nine.
Are your friends with you?
Yes, we're scared.
Why are you scared?
She's here. The woman that brought the plague.
Die. We die like roses.
Don't break the circle.
What do you want of the boy of this house?
Play. Play death.
Why do you hold the children?
Won't let us go.
Where were you buried, children?
In the darkness.
For what they did to her.
The church. The priests.
Knife not hers.
Killed her son for the farm.
Ulric murdered by men.
The land.
And now she comes.
For the children of the land.
No!
Eva. Eva.
This is all nonsense.
I want these two women out of my house.
It's not nonsense, Mom.
I need space, I need air. Lily, help me out.
Get out.
Get out!
That woman is coming nowhere near my boy.
Someone needs an exorcist in this house, and it's not my son.
They're trying to help.
The doctors and nurses haven't done much for dad.
How dare you bring your father into it? With these freaks.
- They're not freaks. - This is bullshit.
You saw the blood, mom. You heard that voice.
They do that kind of thing.
And Jake, is he tricking you?
Where's Jake?
What?
It's Eva.
She's...
Where's the knife?
Where is he?
Oh, my God.
She's going to sacrifice him like the other children.
[All gasp]
Jake! Jake!
The bleeding won't take long.
Not like when they bled my son.
[Cocks shotgun]
Get away from my son, you motherfucking witch.
You don't have to do this.
We know you were framed for the murder.
Do you want to see in the dark like your sister?
Let me show you.
[Screaming]
[Gunshot]
[Screaming]
Ah!
I brought you a cup of tea.
Thank you.
Are you okay?
I'm home now.
Everything will be all right.
I'm here at St. Jonas' farm in Kent,
Home to the shocking attempted murder of a mother and her children
And the death of one teenage boy.
Yesterday evening's inquest found Eva Creeden guilty
For the attempted murder of the Thorson family
And the murder of Mike Buckingham.
Twelve-year old Jake...
Come on.
It's time to go.
Are you there, Eva?
Your father is with Eva now.
You can talk to him.
The coma no longer holds him.
- Is he free now? - Yes.
He wants you to know that he's now awake.
His body may not be able to walk with yours in this earth.
But his memory can.
Was it painful?
It was painful leaving you.
The passing was nothing compared to that.
If he's in heaven,
Can he ask God why the accident had to happen?
He is close with God.
But not as close as he is with your voice.
No one who can still talk from the other side
Is too far gone.
He's behind you, Amber.
He doesn't need you to believe me.
He just says thank you.
I can feel him.
You couldn't leave him before.
But you need to now.
I can't.
It's time to let my son go.
And you need to do this.
He's still with you.
But he doesn't want to communicate in this way anymore.
He needs peace.
This is not how he wants to speak with you in spirit.
[Crying] Oh, please Tony, no.
I can't let you go.
It's time to let him go, Mom.
No.
It's time. Goodbye, Dad.
Thank you for what your sister did for us.
Sorry for the way people will remember her.
I don't care for what people on this earth think.
It's her turn to walk through the door.
And your sight?
I still have one that you don't have.
Take care.
Eva?
[Kid whispering] Isobel.
[Music playing]
