00:01:13,041 --> 00:01:15,331
[gentle music playing]
3
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,880
[woman]
We lay my love and I…
4
00:01:17,958 --> 00:01:20,128
[insects chirping]
5
00:01:21,541 --> 00:01:23,171
…beneath the weeping willow.

00:01:26,125 --> 00:01:27,915
[water gurgling]
7
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,000
[gasps]
8
00:01:30,333 --> 00:01:32,213
[woman] But now alone I lie…
9
00:01:35,916 --> 00:01:37,626
…and weep beside the tree.
10
00:01:41,208 --> 00:01:43,498
Singin', "O willow waly…"
11
00:01:48,875 --> 00:01:50,745
…by the tree that weeps with me.
12
00:01:54,416 --> 00:01:57,286
Singing, "O willow waly…"
13
00:02:02,833 --> 00:02:04,793
…till my lover return to me.
14
00:02:04,875 --> 00:02:06,875
[water gurgling]
15
00:02:22,166 --> 00:02:24,166
[dinging]
16
00:02:24,458 --> 00:02:26,828
[man] Can I have your attention, please?
17
00:02:27,333 --> 00:02:30,463
You'll get to your meals momentarily,
but first…
18
00:02:31,375 --> 00:02:33,575
the bride has asked me to speak.
19
00:02:33,708 --> 00:02:34,998
I thought she was joking!
20
00:02:35,083 --> 00:02:37,753
Why invite such catastrophe
21
00:02:37,833 --> 00:02:39,253
upon your own wedding?
22
00:02:39,333 --> 00:02:41,923
-[guests chuckling]
-[man] But, as she explained,
23
00:02:42,125 --> 00:02:44,125
"No, heavens, no. Not the wedding,
24
00:02:44,208 --> 00:02:45,578
the practice meal."
25
00:02:45,666 --> 00:02:48,246
The rehearsal dinner, for God's sakes!
26
00:02:48,333 --> 00:02:52,543
I must claim my right as a slightly drunk,
completely jet-lagged Englishman
27
00:02:52,625 --> 00:02:54,915
to well and truly speak my mind.
28
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,790
Because I want to warn you all,
29
00:02:56,875 --> 00:02:59,665
you young people
have absolutely no idea
30
00:02:59,750 --> 00:03:02,170
what you are letting yourselves in for.
31
00:03:07,208 --> 00:03:08,038
Oh…
32
00:03:08,458 --> 00:03:09,958
Here's a horrifying statistic.
33
00:03:10,041 --> 00:03:12,751
Did you know
that almost half of marriages these days
34
00:03:12,833 --> 00:03:15,003
do not end up in divorce?
35
00:03:15,416 --> 00:03:16,746
[guests chuckling]
36
00:03:16,833 --> 00:03:21,753
That means there's a strong probability
that you two get to watch each other die.
37
00:03:22,208 --> 00:03:24,458
And that's the preferred outcome.
38
00:03:24,833 --> 00:03:27,173
To truly love another person
39
00:03:27,625 --> 00:03:30,955
is to accept that the work of loving them
40
00:03:31,583 --> 00:03:33,793
is worth the pain of losing them.
41
00:03:34,750 --> 00:03:35,580
And that's it.
42
00:03:36,791 --> 00:03:37,631
That's all.
43
00:03:38,291 --> 00:03:40,961
And if that scares you
as much as it scares me,
44
00:03:41,041 --> 00:03:42,171
then I say run.
45
00:03:42,250 --> 00:03:44,710
Go off and do drugs on a beach in Bali.
46
00:03:44,791 --> 00:03:46,831
Devote yourself to a life
of the mind. Run!
47
00:03:46,916 --> 00:03:50,626
Run while you still can. You're young,
you're strong. The world… [fades out]
48
00:03:50,708 --> 00:03:51,788
[bride] No, I'm serious,
49
00:03:51,875 --> 00:03:54,415
-we actually refused to stay here.
-She refused.
50
00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:56,960
[female guest 1] I didn't know
staying here was even an option.
51
00:03:57,041 --> 00:03:58,671
[bride] There's three suites
in the castle,
52
00:03:58,750 --> 00:04:00,880
-and Jack wanted to stay here…
-[Jack] Just one night.
53
00:04:00,958 --> 00:04:02,378
…before we left for the honeymoon.
54
00:04:02,458 --> 00:04:05,628
Just tomorrow. Just after the reception,
so we could just stumble upstairs.
55
00:04:06,041 --> 00:04:08,291
[bride] But I said,
"No way, not after those stories."
56
00:04:08,375 --> 00:04:10,455
[female guest 1] Wait, just the stories?
57
00:04:10,541 --> 00:04:13,381
-You didn't see her?
-No! God no, I didn't see her.
58
00:04:13,458 --> 00:04:16,748
If I saw a dead woman, a dead nun,
no less, crying in the corners,
59
00:04:17,208 --> 00:04:19,828
-we would not be getting married here.
-Okay, it's just a story.
60
00:04:19,916 --> 00:04:23,536
This place used to be a convent for, like,
a few decades in the '40s.
61
00:04:23,625 --> 00:04:24,825
It's part of the sales package.
62
00:04:24,916 --> 00:04:27,576
They can charge a few hundred extra
for the ghost story.
63
00:04:27,833 --> 00:04:31,793
Look, I love a good ghost story,
I just don't want to sleep in one.
64
00:04:31,875 --> 00:04:33,575
[female guest 2]
We honeymooned in Ireland.
65
00:04:34,291 --> 00:04:36,211
They kept telling us
to look out for Seamus,
66
00:04:36,291 --> 00:04:37,171
the stable boy.
67
00:04:37,250 --> 00:04:39,000
-Oh, Seamus.
-[guests chuckling]
68
00:04:39,083 --> 00:04:42,383
[female guest 2] They said his head was
crushed in where a horse had kicked him.
69
00:04:42,458 --> 00:04:44,628
[bride] Ghost stories are worse
when there's a kid.
70
00:04:44,708 --> 00:04:47,378
[female guest 2] Adds a little something,
doesn't it? [chuckles]
71
00:04:47,500 --> 00:04:48,540
I have a story.
72
00:04:51,208 --> 00:04:52,038
Well…
73
00:04:53,250 --> 00:04:54,670
…it isn't really my story.
74
00:04:55,250 --> 00:04:56,710
It belongs to someone I knew.
75
00:04:57,958 --> 00:04:59,668
And it's not exactly short.
76
00:05:00,458 --> 00:05:02,998
Well, it seems we have time enough, and…
77
00:05:03,083 --> 00:05:03,963
wine enough.
78
00:05:05,875 --> 00:05:06,705
Why not?
79
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:17,830
All right, then.
80
00:05:18,875 --> 00:05:19,705
A ghost story.
81
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,460
Again, this story isn't mine,
82
00:05:25,291 --> 00:05:28,631
but it is full of ghosts of all sorts.
83
00:05:30,166 --> 00:05:32,376
And if a child gives the effect,
84
00:05:33,041 --> 00:05:34,961
another turn of the screw…
85
00:05:37,750 --> 00:05:38,960
…what do you say to two?
86
00:05:48,208 --> 00:05:51,458
The teacher was, by choice,
a solitary young woman.
87
00:05:51,958 --> 00:05:55,918
Come up to London in trepidation
to answer in person an advertisement…
88
00:05:57,208 --> 00:05:59,168
…placed by one Lord Henry Wingrave
89
00:05:59,958 --> 00:06:01,788
regarding his young nephew and niece,
90
00:06:02,208 --> 00:06:03,828
who were in need of an au pair.
91
00:06:04,125 --> 00:06:06,495
A full-time position, it said.
Live-in, at that,
92
00:06:07,208 --> 00:06:09,208
in his old family home in Essex.
93
00:06:09,708 --> 00:06:10,918
A great good place,
94
00:06:11,333 --> 00:06:12,463
alone in the country.
95
00:06:13,166 --> 00:06:14,996
[cars honking]
96
00:06:30,708 --> 00:06:31,878
Miss Clayton, is it?
97
00:06:31,958 --> 00:06:34,038
Oh, call me Dani. Hi there.
98
00:06:34,125 --> 00:06:35,455
Please, have a seat.
99
00:06:39,083 --> 00:06:40,963
-You're a teacher?
-Yes.
100
00:06:41,875 --> 00:06:42,745
Or I was.
101
00:06:43,500 --> 00:06:44,330
Fourth grade.
102
00:06:44,833 --> 00:06:45,883
In the States.
103
00:06:46,416 --> 00:06:47,286
Mm-hmm.
104
00:06:49,208 --> 00:06:50,378
Been in England long?
105
00:06:51,125 --> 00:06:52,955
[sighs] About six months.
106
00:06:53,041 --> 00:06:55,541
Six months? During which time, you've…
107
00:06:56,666 --> 00:06:57,826
Well, I've…
108
00:06:57,916 --> 00:06:59,996
[in British accent]
…fallen quite in love with London.
109
00:07:01,041 --> 00:07:01,881
God.
110
00:07:04,125 --> 00:07:05,375
Tea? Coffee?
111
00:07:06,375 --> 00:07:09,535
[without accent] No, thank you.
Haven't quite mastered tea yet.
112
00:07:10,041 --> 00:07:11,791
I'm used to it coming in a pitcher.
113
00:07:12,208 --> 00:07:13,208
Full of ice cubes…
114
00:07:14,541 --> 00:07:15,881
…and lemon wedges, and…
115
00:07:16,541 --> 00:07:18,541
Well, it's a whole different thing here.
116
00:07:19,750 --> 00:07:21,830
[Henry] Yes, it is.
117
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,630
You've no previous experience
as an au pair.
118
00:07:28,708 --> 00:07:29,538
Well, I…
119
00:07:30,250 --> 00:07:33,170
I've quite a bit of experience
with children, Mr. Wingrave.
120
00:07:33,250 --> 00:07:37,210
In a classroom,
but this is a full-time, live-in position.
121
00:07:37,291 --> 00:07:38,711
I know, that's actually why
122
00:07:38,791 --> 00:07:41,131
-I responded to the ad.
-The children are wonderful.
123
00:07:41,208 --> 00:07:43,538
Exceptional, really,
my niece and my nephew.
124
00:07:43,625 --> 00:07:45,915
Exceptional children, as I said.
125
00:07:46,791 --> 00:07:49,461
But challenging, both.
126
00:07:49,541 --> 00:07:53,711
Miles, my nephew, is back home
from boarding school early.
127
00:07:54,333 --> 00:07:55,583
He needs structure,
128
00:07:55,666 --> 00:07:57,496
discipline more than ever, I fear.
129
00:07:58,791 --> 00:07:59,631
Mm-hmm.
130
00:07:59,708 --> 00:08:01,538
Well, can I ask why he was sent home?
131
00:08:01,875 --> 00:08:04,375
-Spring session shouldn't end--
-You'd be expected to tutor him
132
00:08:04,458 --> 00:08:05,918
so he doesn't fall behind.
133
00:08:06,125 --> 00:08:10,325
In that respect, your classroom experience
may actually be of use.
134
00:08:10,916 --> 00:08:12,456
The same with Flora,
135
00:08:12,541 --> 00:08:13,581
my niece.
136
00:08:14,250 --> 00:08:15,580
You'd tutor her as well.
137
00:08:15,916 --> 00:08:19,456
Your ad mentioned the position
was in the countryside?
138
00:08:19,916 --> 00:08:20,996
In Bly,
139
00:08:21,791 --> 00:08:23,421
my family's country house.
140
00:08:24,875 --> 00:08:26,875
The children are used to Bly, they…
141
00:08:27,541 --> 00:08:30,831
spent summers and holidays there
with their parents,
142
00:08:31,583 --> 00:08:32,673
before they passed.
143
00:08:33,458 --> 00:08:35,288
It's a great good place, the manor.
144
00:08:35,916 --> 00:08:37,746
There are few others on the grounds.
145
00:08:37,833 --> 00:08:41,003
A cook, groundskeeper.
They stay in town.
146
00:08:41,958 --> 00:08:44,378
There is a live-in housekeeper,
but the children…
147
00:08:44,750 --> 00:08:47,960
would be your responsibility
and yours alone.
148
00:08:48,500 --> 00:08:51,750
Don't call on me
unless it's an emergency.
149
00:08:51,833 --> 00:08:53,383
I'm extraordinarily busy.
150
00:08:54,125 --> 00:08:55,285
I understand.
151
00:08:56,541 --> 00:08:57,381
You know,
152
00:08:57,541 --> 00:09:00,631
one of my more unique assignments
at my school
153
00:09:00,875 --> 00:09:03,325
was specific
to some of our highest-need children,
154
00:09:03,416 --> 00:09:06,706
-one of whom had actually lost their par--
-What's the catch?
155
00:09:08,708 --> 00:09:09,628
I'm sorry?
156
00:09:10,208 --> 00:09:11,828
The catch. You're what?
157
00:09:13,208 --> 00:09:14,078
Thirty?
158
00:09:14,166 --> 00:09:15,326
Mid-twenties?
159
00:09:16,333 --> 00:09:17,213
I wonder…
160
00:09:17,916 --> 00:09:19,126
What's the catch?
161
00:09:19,458 --> 00:09:22,038
You're younger than most
who'd apply for this sort of thing.
162
00:09:22,125 --> 00:09:25,125
What makes a woman of your age
163
00:09:25,208 --> 00:09:28,958
want to give up her life
to take care of someone else's children?
164
00:09:29,416 --> 00:09:31,126
A life in America, at that.
165
00:09:31,583 --> 00:09:32,793
Full-time as well.
166
00:09:34,541 --> 00:09:37,961
It seems odd… to me, to be frank.
167
00:09:38,125 --> 00:09:38,955
Hm.
168
00:09:41,958 --> 00:09:43,248
It seems odd to me too.
169
00:09:44,583 --> 00:09:45,753
The listing, I mean.
170
00:09:47,541 --> 00:09:49,631
A full-time position
in a beautiful country manor
171
00:09:49,708 --> 00:09:51,248
to two exceptional children.
172
00:09:52,083 --> 00:09:53,753
But I saw your ad six months ago.
173
00:09:54,625 --> 00:09:56,205
When I first arrived in London.
174
00:09:56,375 --> 00:09:58,665
And I have seen it every month since.
175
00:10:01,083 --> 00:10:03,003
Seems to me an easy position to fill.
176
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,670
At least as you've described.
177
00:10:09,083 --> 00:10:10,463
So, I suppose you're right.
178
00:10:12,333 --> 00:10:13,463

00:19:30,125 --> 00:19:31,625
-Oh, wonderful.
-Yeah.
357
00:19:31,708 --> 00:19:33,828
Yes, that-- that Owen is a fine young man.
358
00:19:34,875 --> 00:19:36,705
-Good sort. [chuckles]
-Mm-hmm.
359
00:19:37,083 --> 00:19:39,463
Right, well, um,
let-- let's find our way inside.
360
00:19:39,541 --> 00:19:42,081
I'm sure Miss Clayton
is eager to see the house.
361
00:19:42,166 --> 00:19:45,126
-Oh, yes.
-[chuckles] Right, well, come along.
362
00:19:45,958 --> 00:19:47,828
-Now--
-You can call me Dani.
363
00:19:47,916 --> 00:19:48,746
Nonsense.
364
00:19:48,875 --> 00:19:51,705
Children, you will call her Miss Clayton,
like we agreed.
365
00:19:51,791 --> 00:19:54,671
[storyteller] Her first look at Bly
yielded no discomfort,
366
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,290
no foreboding.
367
00:19:56,666 --> 00:19:59,206
It was exactly as Lord Wingrave
had described.
368
00:19:59,875 --> 00:20:02,205
A great, good place.
369
00:20:05,416 --> 00:20:07,666
And it yawned open to welcome her home.
370
00:20:07,750 --> 00:20:10,170
[door creaks shut]
371
00:20:15,083 --> 00:20:16,293
This is the foyer,
372
00:20:17,083 --> 00:20:19,133
and it's perfectly splendid.
373
00:20:19,208 --> 00:20:20,668
-It's beauti--
-Come along!
374
00:20:21,666 --> 00:20:23,326
This is the kitchen,
375
00:20:23,666 --> 00:20:25,786
and it's perfectly splendid.
376
00:20:26,500 --> 00:20:27,630
And this is Owen.
377
00:20:28,291 --> 00:20:29,331
He's the cook,
378
00:20:29,958 --> 00:20:31,748
and he's splendid.
379
00:20:31,833 --> 00:20:32,923
-[Dani] Mm-hmm.
-Perfectly.
380
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,000
Hello, everyone.
381
00:20:34,083 --> 00:20:35,043
Hey again.
382
00:20:35,125 --> 00:20:35,995
Hi!
383
00:20:36,083 --> 00:20:37,133
Hi, Flora.
384
00:20:37,708 --> 00:20:39,498
-This way.
-[Dani chuckles]
385
00:20:39,583 --> 00:20:41,583
[Flora] The paintings are all original,
386
00:20:41,916 --> 00:20:44,166
which means they're painted by hand,
387
00:20:44,666 --> 00:20:46,536
and they're perfectly splendid.
388
00:20:47,708 --> 00:20:48,998
This is the classroom.
389
00:20:50,500 --> 00:20:51,420
It's…
390
00:20:53,166 --> 00:20:54,036
…quite boring.
391
00:20:54,500 --> 00:20:57,960
These are the lovely stairs,
but you mustn't run on them.
392
00:20:58,333 --> 00:21:01,043
If you fall, you can injure yourself,
and the stairs are not forgiving.
393
00:21:01,125 --> 00:21:03,075
Not forgiving in the least. Do you see?
394
00:21:03,166 --> 00:21:06,206
Mrs. Grose says
they're brutal on the knees…
395
00:21:06,416 --> 00:21:08,126
-Oh.
-…but I don't have any issues.
396
00:21:08,208 --> 00:21:09,918
-[laughs gently] Gorgeous!
-[Hannah] It is.
397
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,710
A great good place.
Heaven for the children.
398
00:21:11,791 --> 00:21:15,131
But mind the stairs,
they're brutal on the knees.
399
00:21:15,208 --> 00:21:16,038
[Dani chuckles]
400
00:21:16,125 --> 00:21:17,875
And this is where our parents
used to live.
401
00:21:17,958 --> 00:21:19,128
We don't go in there anymore.
402
00:21:19,208 --> 00:21:21,498
[Flora] We don't go in there anymore.
It's all covered up.
403
00:21:21,583 --> 00:21:23,293
[Hannah]
This room is closed at the moment.
404
00:21:23,375 --> 00:21:25,915
And covered up. But underneath it all,
405
00:21:26,458 --> 00:21:29,878
it's all just perfectly splendid.
406
00:21:34,875 --> 00:21:36,825
[Hannah]
Let's leave Miss Clayton to freshen up.
407
00:21:37,208 --> 00:21:38,288
[Flora] Of course.
408
00:21:38,375 --> 00:21:40,625
But then we must show her
the statue garden.
409
00:21:40,708 --> 00:21:42,458
She'll see it all eventually, Flora.
410
00:21:42,541 --> 00:21:44,291
We'll see you after you've settled.
411
00:21:44,458 --> 00:21:47,578
And once you have,
we'll have to show you the rest.
412
00:21:47,666 --> 00:21:48,496
[Hannah] Flora!
413
00:21:48,583 --> 00:21:49,423
[Flora] Coming.
414
00:21:54,708 --> 00:21:55,878
[giggles]
415
00:22:02,875 --> 00:22:03,705
Oh!
416
00:22:04,291 --> 00:22:05,921
I'm sorry. May I come in?
417
00:22:06,958 --> 00:22:08,668
Yes. Of course.
418
00:22:10,333 --> 00:22:12,083
Perhaps knock from now on.
419
00:22:14,416 --> 00:22:15,246
Of course.
420
00:22:15,625 --> 00:22:18,745
I just wanted to say
how happy we all are that you're here.
421
00:22:20,875 --> 00:22:21,995
And to give you this.
422
00:22:23,500 --> 00:22:25,000
Not much, I know.
423
00:22:25,541 --> 00:22:27,881
Just a little something
to make you feel more welcome.
424
00:22:29,750 --> 00:22:30,580
Thank you.
425
00:22:31,666 --> 00:22:32,626
It's very pretty.
426
00:22:33,750 --> 00:22:36,420
I'm just gonna finish up here
and see you in a few minutes, okay?
427
00:22:36,500 --> 00:22:37,420
Of course.
428
00:22:40,416 --> 00:22:41,286
Thank you.
429
00:22:48,958 --> 00:22:50,208
[teapot whistling]
430
00:22:58,708 --> 00:23:00,248
[Dani] I hope it's all right.
431
00:23:00,416 --> 00:23:02,416
I haven't quite figured out tea yet, so…
432
00:23:02,500 --> 00:23:04,130
Mm. It's fine, dear.
433
00:23:05,666 --> 00:23:08,456
-[Miles] Mm.
-[Owen] Dinner is served.
434
00:23:09,291 --> 00:23:12,291
-[gasps theatrically] Wow!
-[Owen] There you go, mate.
435
00:23:12,375 --> 00:23:14,785
-[Miles] Thank you.
-Owen makes the best dinners.
436
00:23:15,416 --> 00:23:18,126
He made me
a macaroni-and-cheese sandwich once,
437
00:23:18,583 --> 00:23:20,043
which was divine.
438
00:23:20,125 --> 00:23:22,995
So, what brings a young American like you
to England?
439
00:23:23,083 --> 00:23:24,463
And Bly of all places.
440
00:23:24,833 --> 00:23:27,633
Oh, you know,
just wanted to see the world.
441
00:23:27,708 --> 00:23:29,788
-[Hannah] Mm-hmm.
-And what do you think of it so far?
442
00:23:30,125 --> 00:23:33,705
-Um, Bly? Or the world?
-I want to go to Australia.
443
00:23:33,791 --> 00:23:36,831
Or Florida, because it's almost my name.
444
00:23:37,250 --> 00:23:38,880
-[Hannah chuckles]
-That's right.
445
00:23:40,250 --> 00:23:42,130
-It's just so gorgeous here.
-Yeah.
446
00:23:42,250 --> 00:23:45,880
I know I keep saying that,
but there's no other word.
447
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,290
-I could think of a few others.
-Oh, hush now, Owen.
448
00:23:48,375 --> 00:23:51,245
-He likes to wind me up.
-She likes being wound up.
449
00:23:51,791 --> 00:23:53,251
Aren't you joining us?
450
00:23:54,208 --> 00:23:55,168
Oh, uh…
451
00:23:55,541 --> 00:23:58,461
Um, not tonight, sweetheart.
I've got to go home to my mom.
452
00:23:58,541 --> 00:23:59,581
Disappointing.
453
00:24:00,083 --> 00:24:01,633
You sound just like her.
454
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,290
Is she feeling better?
455
00:24:03,375 --> 00:24:04,205
Much.
456
00:24:04,875 --> 00:24:06,125
Better every day, I reckon.
457
00:24:07,083 --> 00:24:08,463
All right. [sighs]
458
00:24:08,666 --> 00:24:10,876
Good night, you lovely young lady.
459
00:24:11,375 --> 00:24:13,075
And good night to you, too, Flora.
460
00:24:13,166 --> 00:24:15,036
[Hannah] Ugh, heaven help me, this man.
461
00:24:15,125 --> 00:24:15,955
Enjoy.
462
00:24:18,750 --> 00:24:20,210
So, he lives with his mother?
463
00:24:20,291 --> 00:24:22,041
[sighs] Lives for her, more like.
464
00:24:22,541 --> 00:24:24,291
That's why he came back from Paris.
465
00:24:24,375 --> 00:24:26,705
-[Dani] Mm.
-She took ill. Quite ill, I've heard.
466
00:24:26,958 --> 00:24:28,078
-I'm sorry.
-Yeah.
467
00:24:28,166 --> 00:24:29,626
He said she's getting better.
468
00:24:29,708 --> 00:24:30,878
Yeah, better every day.
469
00:24:30,958 --> 00:24:33,498
He says that, but he leaves earlier
and earlier these days.
470
00:24:33,583 --> 00:24:35,383
He used to stay every night for supper.
471
00:24:35,458 --> 00:24:37,458
Maybe she feels well enough to eat,
472
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,250
so he has to get home in time
to cook for her.
473
00:24:40,583 --> 00:24:42,333
I'm sure you're right, sweetheart.
474
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,420
What? You're not gonna eat?
475
00:24:44,666 --> 00:24:46,246
Oh… Oh, well, yeah.
476
00:24:47,208 --> 00:24:49,038
-I'll have it later.
-[Dani] Okay.
477
00:24:56,625 --> 00:24:58,165
[whispering]
I'll give you some pointers.
478
00:24:58,750 --> 00:24:59,580
Thank you.
479
00:25:00,333 --> 00:25:02,543
[Flora] I wish to look like a gnome.
480
00:25:03,083 --> 00:25:04,633
A bubble gnome.
481
00:25:04,708 --> 00:25:06,918
[chuckling]
Well, you're sure getting there.
482
00:25:08,375 --> 00:25:09,205
[Flora giggles]
483
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:13,830
What?
484
00:25:13,916 --> 00:25:15,956
It really is very silly, isn't it?
485
00:25:16,125 --> 00:25:17,325
[Dani chuckles]
486
00:25:19,250 --> 00:25:21,960
Yes, you're a very silly girl.
487
00:25:23,250 --> 00:25:24,710
Where did you get that?
488
00:25:26,166 --> 00:25:28,166
-What?
-The butterfly clip.
489
00:25:28,250 --> 00:25:29,080
Oh…
490
00:25:29,500 --> 00:25:30,330
Um…
491
00:25:30,625 --> 00:25:31,745
Miles gave it to me.
492
00:25:32,166 --> 00:25:33,826
He shouldn't have done that.
493
00:25:35,166 --> 00:25:35,996
Why not?
494
00:25:36,958 --> 00:25:38,788
Because it doesn't belong to you.
495
00:25:43,250 --> 00:25:44,420
Who does it belong to?
496
00:25:45,833 --> 00:25:48,043
-Miss Jessel.
-Who's that?
497
00:25:48,875 --> 00:25:49,785
The other one.
498
00:25:50,208 --> 00:25:51,958
-Before you.
-I'm…
499
00:25:52,833 --> 00:25:53,923
I'm so sorry.
500
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:54,830
I…
501
00:25:55,166 --> 00:25:56,286
I'm so sorry.
502
00:26:06,166 --> 00:26:08,036
I was wrong. It's actually fine.
503
00:26:08,708 --> 00:26:09,828
Can I get out now?
504
00:26:10,791 --> 00:26:12,131
Can I play with my dolls?
505
00:26:12,208 --> 00:26:13,668
Yeah. Fifteen minutes, okay?
506
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,000
[ominous music plays]
507
00:26:28,125 --> 00:26:29,125
[mirror squeaks]
508
00:26:36,750 --> 00:26:37,670
[Dani sighs]
509
00:26:37,958 --> 00:26:40,958
You know, I've gone
to every kind of school you can think of.
510
00:26:41,166 --> 00:26:41,996
Have you?
511
00:26:42,583 --> 00:26:44,543
Even a boarding school once, like you.
512
00:26:45,041 --> 00:26:46,381
I know how hard it can be.
513
00:26:48,291 --> 00:26:49,381
It's not so bad.
514
00:26:50,208 --> 00:26:51,038
Well…
515
00:26:52,166 --> 00:26:53,916
…you're home now, aren't you?
516
00:26:57,666 --> 00:27:00,166
Look, you can talk to me
about whatever you'd like.
517
00:27:01,208 --> 00:27:02,078
About school.
518
00:27:03,708 --> 00:27:05,168
Anything that happened there.
519
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,750
I promise, I've heard it all.
520
00:27:10,416 --> 00:27:11,576
It's very kind of you.
521
00:27:14,125 --> 00:27:14,995
Good night, Dani.
522
00:27:17,083 --> 00:27:17,923
Good night.
523
00:27:22,958 --> 00:27:26,168
You know, Mrs. Grose seems to think
you should call me Miss Clayton.
524
00:27:28,125 --> 00:27:29,075
Didn't you like it?
525
00:27:31,125 --> 00:27:31,955
I'm sorry?
526
00:27:32,666 --> 00:27:33,666
The butterfly.
527
00:27:34,125 --> 00:27:35,125
Oh, I… [clicks tongue]
528
00:27:35,208 --> 00:27:36,628
[sighs]
529
00:27:37,041 --> 00:27:37,921
You know, Flora…
530
00:27:38,625 --> 00:27:40,205
was a little upset, I think.
531
00:27:40,500 --> 00:27:42,170
She's always a little upset.
532
00:27:43,041 --> 00:27:44,671
Whether she admits it or not.
533
00:27:45,666 --> 00:27:47,286
But she's so, so glad you're here.
534
00:27:48,041 --> 00:27:48,881
And so am I.
535
00:27:49,625 --> 00:27:51,875
Well, thank you for making me feel
so welcome.
536
00:28:04,166 --> 00:28:04,996
[Dani] Bedtime!
537
00:28:05,500 --> 00:28:07,250
-And I'm finished.
-[Dani] Mm-hmm.
538
00:28:07,458 --> 00:28:08,958
Perfect timing.
539
00:28:11,875 --> 00:28:12,785
Is that me?
540
00:28:13,041 --> 00:28:15,081
Why, no, silly. You're you.
541
00:28:15,708 --> 00:28:16,998
It's just a dolly.
542
00:28:17,500 --> 00:28:18,380
Touché.
543
00:28:19,083 --> 00:28:20,833
[gentle piano music plays]
544
00:28:21,791 --> 00:28:23,211
[Dani] Who are all these?
545
00:28:23,375 --> 00:28:25,745
[Flora] Why, they're dolls, of course.
546
00:28:25,833 --> 00:28:26,793
[Dani chuckles]
547
00:28:27,500 --> 00:28:30,790
You, miss, have a lot of dolls,
548
00:28:31,750 --> 00:28:33,460
and we're going to learn
549
00:28:33,833 --> 00:28:36,133
how to pick them all up
before we go to sleep, okay?
550
00:28:44,083 --> 00:28:45,213
[Flora] Put her back.
551
00:28:47,041 --> 00:28:48,461
She stays…
552
00:28:49,041 --> 00:28:49,881
there.
553
00:29:02,166 --> 00:29:03,996
And you're all tucked in.
554
00:29:05,208 --> 00:29:06,998
And it's time for bed.
555
00:29:10,458 --> 00:29:12,578
It's just lovely that you're here.
556
00:29:12,708 --> 00:29:13,788
Thank you, Flora.
557
00:29:14,958 --> 00:29:16,958
But you have to promise me something.
558
00:29:17,291 --> 00:29:18,421
Of course.
559
00:29:18,791 --> 00:29:20,381
You have to promise me
560
00:29:21,041 --> 00:29:22,541
that you'll stay in your room.
561
00:29:23,375 --> 00:29:25,075
Don't leave your room at night.
562
00:29:25,541 --> 00:29:27,211
Stay in your bed until morning.
563
00:29:28,958 --> 00:29:30,628
I don't think I can promise that.
564
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,210
But it's certainly a good rule
for you and your brother--
565
00:29:34,291 --> 00:29:35,581
But you must.
566
00:29:38,708 --> 00:29:39,538
Okay.
567
00:29:40,583 --> 00:29:41,673
At least for tonight.
568
00:29:43,041 --> 00:29:44,251
Now get some sleep.
569
00:29:46,416 --> 00:29:48,416
[crickets chirping]
570
00:29:50,750 --> 00:29:53,130
[storyteller]
The night found the au pair restless.
571
00:29:53,583 --> 00:29:54,963
It was as Flora had said.
572
00:29:56,125 --> 00:29:57,745
The rooms were larger at night,
573
00:29:58,500 --> 00:30:01,000
as though the house itself
had inhaled deeply
574
00:30:01,083 --> 00:30:02,383
as the sun disappeared,
575
00:30:03,125 --> 00:30:05,495
expanding as it held its breath
for the morning.
576
00:30:10,208 --> 00:30:12,788
That sense of expansion
wasn't only indoors, either.
577
00:30:14,708 --> 00:30:18,038
Gazing out, she found that the terrace
and the whole place,
578
00:30:18,125 --> 00:30:19,955
the lawn and the garden beyond it,
579
00:30:20,416 --> 00:30:22,956
and all she could see of the park,
were empty,
580
00:30:23,041 --> 00:30:24,791
with a great emptiness.
581
00:30:26,625 --> 00:30:29,665
An emptiness that called out
to be explored.
582
00:30:33,666 --> 00:30:36,536
[chilling musical swell]
583
00:31:04,416 --> 00:31:07,706
[clicking]
584
00:31:10,208 --> 00:31:12,208
[sighs]
585
00:31:18,416 --> 00:31:20,956
[sighs]
586
00:31:27,833 --> 00:31:29,583
[creaking]
587
00:31:29,666 --> 00:31:33,286

[sighs]
590
00:32:28,458 --> 00:32:29,538
Tastes good to me.
591
00:32:49,416 --> 00:32:53,166
[crickets growing louder]
592
00:32:55,250 --> 00:32:57,250
[sound intensifies shrilly]
593
00:32:59,500 --> 00:33:01,250
[Dani] What a beautiful day.
594
00:33:01,333 --> 00:33:02,173
[birds chirping]
595
00:33:02,250 --> 00:33:04,710
Well, I'll never get tired of this place,
I swear.
596
00:33:08,333 --> 00:33:09,253
What's the matter?
597
00:33:09,583 --> 00:33:11,213
[Flora] I'm very cross with you.
598
00:33:11,625 --> 00:33:12,455
[Miles] Miss Clayton!
599
00:33:12,541 --> 00:33:13,791
Come see what I found!
600
00:33:13,875 --> 00:33:17,165
You left your room last night
even though you promised you wouldn't.
601
00:33:17,250 --> 00:33:19,170
-Miss Clayton!
-[Dani] How do you know that?
602
00:33:19,250 --> 00:33:21,000
You've got to stay in your room.
603
00:33:21,083 --> 00:33:21,963
Come and see!
604
00:33:22,041 --> 00:33:24,251
-Why?
-So she doesn't see you.
605
00:33:24,583 --> 00:33:25,423
[Dani] Who?
606
00:33:26,750 --> 00:33:27,630
The lady.
607
00:33:29,875 --> 00:33:30,785
What lady?
608
00:33:32,250 --> 00:33:34,130
-The lady in the lake.
-[Miles] Flora.
609
00:33:39,583 --> 00:33:40,463
Flora, look.
610
00:33:41,375 --> 00:33:42,325
Miss Clayton…
611
00:33:42,666 --> 00:33:44,206
-Look!
-[Flora screams]
612
00:33:45,375 --> 00:33:46,495
[Miles laughs quietly]
613
00:33:49,916 --> 00:33:52,706
Look, I've been a teacher
for nine years, Miles.
614
00:33:53,916 --> 00:33:55,416
That's almost your whole life.
615
00:33:55,500 --> 00:33:56,960
[tender piano music plays]
616
00:33:57,041 --> 00:34:01,631
In all that time, a lot of kids have tried
to scare me in a lot of different ways,
617
00:34:01,958 --> 00:34:03,418
and you know what I learned?
618
00:34:05,750 --> 00:34:07,710
I'm a lot braver than people think.
619
00:34:09,458 --> 00:34:10,288
Including me.
620
00:34:11,250 --> 00:34:13,750
[Miles] I wasn't trying to scare you,
Miss Clayton.
621
00:34:14,041 --> 00:34:15,381
I knew you wouldn't be frightened.
622
00:34:16,208 --> 00:34:17,168
Did you?
623
00:34:17,250 --> 00:34:19,790
Of course.
I knew that about you right away.
624
00:34:20,750 --> 00:34:21,580
Hm.
625
00:34:22,875 --> 00:34:25,035
Is that something you used to do
at school?
626
00:34:26,375 --> 00:34:27,205
Play pranks?
627
00:34:29,333 --> 00:34:30,173
Tricks.
628
00:34:30,958 --> 00:34:32,918
I never quite saw the point of tricks.
629
00:34:35,041 --> 00:34:37,671
Your uncle told me a little bit
about your problems at school.
630
00:34:39,083 --> 00:34:40,293
You spoke with my uncle?
631
00:34:41,416 --> 00:34:43,246
Well, of course. He hired me.
632
00:34:45,083 --> 00:34:46,253
Did he ask about us?
633
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,880
All he did was talk about you two.
634
00:34:52,291 --> 00:34:53,631
He misses you both.
635
00:34:54,875 --> 00:34:55,915
Very much.
636
00:34:59,541 --> 00:35:00,461
No, he doesn't.
637
00:35:01,291 --> 00:35:02,251
Of course he does.
638
00:35:03,041 --> 00:35:04,711
Shall we give him a ring and ask?
639
00:35:07,041 --> 00:35:10,001
[storyteller] The au pair's heart ached
for the boy's pain.
640
00:35:10,083 --> 00:35:13,923
But, like the very weather at Bly,
his moods proved quick to change.
641
00:35:15,708 --> 00:35:19,038
As sun, clouds, and rain would appear
without hint or warning,
642
00:35:19,666 --> 00:35:21,496
so, too, did the children's moods.
643
00:35:22,041 --> 00:35:23,961
As though time and nature held…
644
00:35:24,541 --> 00:35:25,541
secret laws…
645
00:35:26,166 --> 00:35:27,206
just for them.

-[music and birdsong fade into silence]

[birdsong resumes]
649
00:36:09,125 --> 00:36:10,165
[Owen] There she is.
650
00:36:10,791 --> 00:36:11,961
They got away from me.
651
00:36:12,041 --> 00:36:13,001
[phone rings]
652
00:36:13,083 --> 00:36:14,883
[Owen] No, I'll get it. You have a seat.
653
00:36:14,958 --> 00:36:15,788
Relax.
654
00:36:16,458 --> 00:36:17,668
If that's even possible.
655
00:36:19,083 --> 00:36:19,923
Hello?
656
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,080
What's for lunch?
657
00:36:21,166 --> 00:36:22,916
-Bangers and mash.
-Hello?
658
00:36:24,166 --> 00:36:24,996
Hello?
659
00:36:25,333 --> 00:36:26,383
Flora, don't.
660
00:36:29,500 --> 00:36:30,380
[Dani chuckles]
661
00:36:30,958 --> 00:36:33,128
-[Miles] Who was it?
-Oh, don't know. They hung up.
662
00:36:33,208 --> 00:36:34,288
-Again?
-Another one?
663
00:36:35,125 --> 00:36:36,955
Oh, we've had some, uh, prank calls.
664
00:36:37,041 --> 00:36:38,791
-Probably just a wrong number.
-Thank you.
665
00:36:38,875 --> 00:36:39,915
[Hannah] You're welcome.
666
00:36:40,500 --> 00:36:41,750
-[Owen] Miss Clayton.
-Mm.
667
00:36:42,250 --> 00:36:43,250
Thank you.
668
00:36:47,458 --> 00:36:49,628
[storyteller] The gardener
did not even introduce herself
669
00:36:49,708 --> 00:36:50,578
to the new au pair.
670
00:36:51,208 --> 00:36:52,958
She barely acknowledged her at all.
671
00:36:53,500 --> 00:36:55,920
Simply treated her
as if she'd always been there.
672
00:36:56,416 --> 00:36:59,126
The others in the room
just assumed they'd already met,
673
00:36:59,833 --> 00:37:01,753
which, if she were honest,
674
00:37:01,833 --> 00:37:04,833
was how the au pair felt
when she first saw the young woman.
675
00:37:07,833 --> 00:37:10,423
So, who decided it was a good idea
to feed these wee gremlins?
676
00:37:10,500 --> 00:37:12,080
[Flora] We're not gremlins!
677
00:37:12,583 --> 00:37:14,253
-We're very good children.
-[Miles] Hm.
678
00:37:14,333 --> 00:37:15,253
Oh, is that right?
679
00:37:16,791 --> 00:37:18,041
See, I'm not so sure.
680
00:37:19,375 --> 00:37:20,665
Owen, what do you think?
681
00:37:21,208 --> 00:37:22,538
[Owen] Oh…
682
00:37:23,125 --> 00:37:24,245
It's hard to say.
683
00:37:24,541 --> 00:37:27,001
I'm gonna have to get water on them
to be sure.
684
00:37:27,083 --> 00:37:28,083
Mm.
685
00:37:28,166 --> 00:37:29,376
-Like this?
-[Flora grunts]
686
00:37:29,458 --> 00:37:30,748
[gardener laughs]
687
00:37:30,833 --> 00:37:31,673
There you go.
688
00:37:33,916 --> 00:37:36,326
-[Hannah] There you go, dear.
-[Owen] You're a star. Thank you.
689
00:37:36,500 --> 00:37:37,920
Was there somebody…
690
00:37:38,708 --> 00:37:40,168
working on the grounds today?
691
00:37:40,333 --> 00:37:41,923
Maybe a repairman or something?
692
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:43,460
No, I don't believe so.
693
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:45,380
'Cause I saw a guy,
694
00:37:45,458 --> 00:37:47,168
on the parapet, on my way in.
695
00:37:48,333 --> 00:37:49,173
On the parapet?
696
00:37:49,500 --> 00:37:50,330
Yeah.
697
00:37:52,125 --> 00:37:54,205
-Can't imagine.
-[Owen] I've not been up there.
698
00:37:54,291 --> 00:37:57,581
[Hannah] Well, why would you?
Are you sure you saw someone up there?
699
00:37:57,666 --> 00:38:00,376
[Dani] Absolutely.
I waved, he didn't wave back.
700
00:38:00,791 --> 00:38:02,541
Well, we do get ramblers sometimes.
701
00:38:02,625 --> 00:38:04,495
People that wanna have a look
at the gardens.
702
00:38:04,583 --> 00:38:06,793
They take liberties,
but if one made it onto the parapet--
703
00:38:06,875 --> 00:38:09,205
They can't get up there,
not without going through the house.
704
00:38:09,291 --> 00:38:11,041
The only way up there
is through the old wing.
705
00:38:11,291 --> 00:38:12,461
And where don't we go?
706
00:38:12,541 --> 00:38:13,631
[both] The old wing.
707
00:38:14,125 --> 00:38:15,745
You must have imagined it, dear.
708
00:38:22,375 --> 00:38:25,075
-You're not gonna eat anything?
-Oh, no, I already ate.
709
00:38:25,166 --> 00:38:26,496
Just here for the company.
710
00:38:26,583 --> 00:38:28,003
You must try this.
711
00:38:28,166 --> 00:38:29,286
[Hannah] Flora, don't.
712
00:39:24,250 --> 00:39:27,170
[birds chirping, insects chittering]
713
00:39:47,458 --> 00:39:49,288
[quiet, unsettling music plays]
714
00:40:46,708 --> 00:40:47,538
[Dani gasps]
715
00:40:49,250 --> 00:40:50,290
Oh…
716
00:40:50,375 --> 00:40:51,915
Did you-- Did you find anyone?
717
00:40:54,416 --> 00:40:55,666
-No.
-[Hannah] Oh.
718
00:40:55,958 --> 00:40:56,788
I didn't.
719
00:40:57,208 --> 00:40:58,038
But…
720
00:40:58,250 --> 00:40:59,290
I did find some…
721
00:41:00,416 --> 00:41:02,826
I'm sorry. Am I interrupting you?
[chuckles awkwardly]
722
00:41:02,916 --> 00:41:04,076
Oh, no. No, not at all.
723
00:41:04,166 --> 00:41:05,076
What did you find?
724
00:41:07,166 --> 00:41:07,996
Ah.
725
00:41:09,166 --> 00:41:09,996
It's Flora.
726
00:41:11,791 --> 00:41:14,501
-Ah, Flora, Flora…
-I've seen a few of these.
727
00:41:15,250 --> 00:41:16,790
Well, you can't judge them.
728
00:41:17,791 --> 00:41:19,631
Not after what they've been through.
729
00:41:20,375 --> 00:41:22,915
Mr. Wingrave told you about their parents,
I'm sure.
730
00:41:23,458 --> 00:41:24,828
-Only that they passed.
-Mm.
731
00:41:26,416 --> 00:41:27,496
Two years ago, now.
732
00:41:29,208 --> 00:41:31,078
Miles was only eight. Flora, six.
733
00:41:31,416 --> 00:41:32,246
[Dani] Mm.
734
00:41:32,375 --> 00:41:34,575
And that's enough bad luck
for two children to bear,
735
00:41:34,666 --> 00:41:35,706
but then to think…
736
00:41:36,500 --> 00:41:37,670
what came after.
737
00:41:39,583 --> 00:41:40,793
Your-- your predecessor.
738
00:41:42,291 --> 00:41:43,501
-Miss Jessel?
-Yeah.
739
00:41:44,416 --> 00:41:45,246
Rebecca.
740
00:41:47,583 --> 00:41:48,423
God…
741
00:41:48,833 --> 00:41:50,583
Rebecca. Poor Rebecca.
742
00:41:51,916 --> 00:41:52,746
She was…
743
00:41:53,750 --> 00:41:55,420
She was a bright young thing.
744
00:41:56,958 --> 00:41:58,958
She was ambitious, intelligent.
745
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,130
Kind of heart.
746
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:03,830
But…
747
00:42:07,375 --> 00:42:08,495
…there was a man.
748
00:42:08,583 --> 00:42:11,673
Which really is the only thing
that can bring down a woman like that.
749
00:42:12,083 --> 00:42:14,793
All the world's vices
in disguise of its graces.
750
00:42:15,625 --> 00:42:17,665
Anyway, the less said about him,
the better.
751
00:42:19,250 --> 00:42:20,500
You know he skipped town?
752
00:42:21,041 --> 00:42:24,001
With a tidy sum of Henry's money
and the poor thing's heart.
753
00:42:24,500 --> 00:42:26,790
Stole a lot, that one. Sticky fingers.
754
00:42:28,791 --> 00:42:31,131
And to see her
in the days leading up to it.
755
00:42:33,541 --> 00:42:35,251
So broken.
756
00:42:37,208 --> 00:42:38,128
So empty.
757
00:42:39,875 --> 00:42:42,915
She was gone long before
she waded into that lake.
758
00:42:44,791 --> 00:42:45,631
Oh…
759
00:42:46,333 --> 00:42:47,333
Flora found her.
760
00:42:48,125 --> 00:42:50,205
And Jamie found Flora.
761
00:42:52,166 --> 00:42:53,286
To hear her tell it…
762
00:42:53,791 --> 00:42:55,581
Rebecca's body in that water.
763
00:42:56,750 --> 00:42:57,880
Face down.
764
00:42:59,500 --> 00:43:00,750
And little Flora just…
765
00:43:02,583 --> 00:43:04,173
…stone-still…
766
00:43:05,208 --> 00:43:06,168
…staring.
767
00:43:08,208 --> 00:43:09,038
And I…
768
00:43:09,500 --> 00:43:12,080
To think I used to cringe
when I heard the children…
769
00:43:12,625 --> 00:43:15,415
running through the house,
screaming and kicking up a fuss.
770
00:43:17,208 --> 00:43:19,378
But in the weeks
after Miss Jessel there…
771
00:43:21,041 --> 00:43:23,171
Silence, it never felt so terrible.
772
00:43:24,541 --> 00:43:25,421
And now…
773
00:43:27,166 --> 00:43:28,376
Now, when I hear them…
774
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:30,330
cry, or… [sniffles]
775
00:43:30,875 --> 00:43:32,245
…scream, or yell…
776
00:43:34,125 --> 00:43:36,535
God, it's the most beautiful sound
in the world.
777
00:43:37,041 --> 00:43:38,501
-I'm so sorry.
-[Dani] No.
778
00:43:40,166 --> 00:43:42,206
-It's all right.
-Oh, God, look at me.
779
00:43:42,291 --> 00:43:43,291
[sighs]
780
00:43:48,625 --> 00:43:49,455
Oh…
781
00:43:55,041 --> 00:43:55,961
It's a talisman.
782
00:43:57,208 --> 00:43:59,998
A tiny game of Flora's
to keep us all safe.
783
00:44:02,083 --> 00:44:02,923
Us.
784
00:44:03,083 --> 00:44:04,793
God. My God, these children.
785
00:44:06,958 --> 00:44:09,668
Both of them
trying in their own way, I think.
786
00:44:11,333 --> 00:44:12,213
[Dani] Mm.
787
00:44:12,625 --> 00:44:15,035
[inhales deeply]
You know, I should head back.
788
00:44:15,375 --> 00:44:17,745
Owen and Jamie
will be leaving for the evening.
789
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,790
But I'm happy to watch the children
before bed if you'd like a moment.
790
00:44:20,875 --> 00:44:22,875
Wh-What are the candles for?
791
00:44:25,291 --> 00:44:26,131
The dead.
792
00:44:27,458 --> 00:44:29,748
There's more of them than I'd like,
the older I get.
793
00:44:29,833 --> 00:44:30,673
I'm sorry.
794
00:44:30,750 --> 00:44:32,580
Oh, God, no need. [sniffs]
795
00:44:32,666 --> 00:44:35,916
I have been, and I remain,
a very happy woman.
796
00:44:36,541 --> 00:44:37,541
[Dani laughs gently]
797
00:44:40,125 --> 00:44:44,625
[somber orchestral music playing]
798
00:44:44,708 --> 00:44:46,708
[insects chittering]
799
00:44:52,291 --> 00:44:53,711
Good evening, Miss Clayton.
800
00:44:54,791 --> 00:44:55,711
Time for bed.
801
00:44:57,541 --> 00:44:58,381
Is it?
802
00:44:59,708 --> 00:45:00,708
I shouldn't think so.
803
00:45:01,458 --> 00:45:02,708
No more games, Miles.
804
00:45:04,166 --> 00:45:05,416
Do you like games, Dani?
805
00:45:07,083 --> 00:45:08,083
Not at bedtime.
806
00:45:09,416 --> 00:45:11,326
[Miles]
It's the best time for games, really.
807
00:45:11,500 --> 00:45:13,380
[Flora] Stop being weird, Miles!
808
00:45:14,166 --> 00:45:15,876
He's so weird sometimes.
809
00:45:16,750 --> 00:45:17,920
[Dani] And you…
810
00:45:18,750 --> 00:45:19,670
sweet thing.
811
00:45:32,458 --> 00:45:33,498
Imagination.
812
00:45:35,666 --> 00:45:37,376
I love…
813
00:45:38,250 --> 00:45:39,330
your imagination.
814
00:45:40,291 --> 00:45:42,581
And everyone in this house is so lucky…
815
00:45:43,583 --> 00:45:45,583
that you're using yours to keep us safe.
816
00:45:47,458 --> 00:45:48,418
Just promise me…
817
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:50,880
that when you're keeping us all safe,
818
00:45:51,541 --> 00:45:53,461
that you keep yourself safe first.
819
00:45:54,333 --> 00:45:55,753
And no going on the parapet.
820
00:45:56,458 --> 00:45:57,288
Okay.
821
00:45:58,916 --> 00:46:00,416
You really are, you know?
822
00:46:01,500 --> 00:46:02,330
I'm what?
823
00:46:02,666 --> 00:46:04,166
Perfectly splendid.
824
00:46:04,250 --> 00:46:05,380
[Dani chuckles softly]
825
00:46:07,250 --> 00:46:08,460
Good night, sweet girl.
826
00:46:16,166 --> 00:46:17,036
Oh…
827
00:46:18,166 --> 00:46:19,826
I'm sorry!
828
00:46:20,125 --> 00:46:22,665
You know, you need to make sure
that you pick these up.
829
00:46:22,750 --> 00:46:23,790
I would hate to break…
830
00:46:29,791 --> 00:46:31,211
Where would you like her tonight?
831
00:46:32,875 --> 00:46:34,575
In the house or under the dresser?
832
00:46:34,916 --> 00:46:35,996
[Miles] Miss Clayton?
833
00:46:36,958 --> 00:46:38,828
[Dani sighs]
I was just about to tuck you in.
834
00:46:40,083 --> 00:46:42,423
There's an electric fan
in Flora's cupboard.
835
00:46:42,500 --> 00:46:44,420
I cannot sleep without it, I'm afraid.
836
00:46:44,916 --> 00:46:46,076
That-- that's right.
837
00:46:46,375 --> 00:46:47,285
My cupboard.
838
00:46:48,750 --> 00:46:50,960
Would you fetch it for me?
I'm awfully sorry.
839
00:46:52,541 --> 00:46:53,631
Oh…
840
00:46:53,708 --> 00:46:54,538
Sure thing.
841
00:46:58,000 --> 00:46:58,830
Well…
842
00:46:59,291 --> 00:47:00,331
here you go.
843
00:47:01,541 --> 00:47:03,131
She can sleep with you tonight.
844
00:47:07,875 --> 00:47:10,205
Okay, let's look.
845
00:47:12,375 --> 00:47:13,375
Hmm.
846
00:47:14,208 --> 00:47:16,958
-I don't see it!
-[Miles] It must be under some clothes.
847
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:21,830
Okay.
848
00:47:30,041 --> 00:47:32,331
-[door slams]
-[lock clicks]
849
00:47:35,625 --> 00:47:36,455
Guys.
850
00:47:37,416 --> 00:47:38,496
I said no games.
851
00:47:38,833 --> 00:47:39,713
Open up!
852
00:47:42,541 --> 00:47:43,581
Open the door!
853
00:47:46,541 --> 00:47:47,381
Open it!
854
00:47:47,458 --> 00:47:49,328
-[lock rattling]
-[Miles] I'm trying!
855
00:47:50,166 --> 00:47:50,996
Miles!
856
00:47:52,125 --> 00:47:53,125
[Miles] I'm trying!
857
00:47:53,500 --> 00:47:54,380
Flora!
858
00:47:54,458 --> 00:47:56,578
[Flora] It's stuck. We're really trying!
859
00:47:58,000 --> 00:47:59,750
Okay, it's not-- it's not funny.
860
00:48:00,166 --> 00:48:01,076
Open the door.
861
00:48:01,166 --> 00:48:03,876
[Flora] We'll have to find the key.
It really is stuck.
862
00:48:03,958 --> 00:48:06,418
-We're very sorry!
-The key is in the lock, Flora.
863
00:48:06,666 --> 00:48:07,626
Turn the key.
864
00:48:07,750 --> 00:48:09,920
-[door rattling]
-[Miles] It's not! We can't find it!
865
00:48:14,166 --> 00:48:15,416
I'm being serious.
866
00:48:16,708 --> 00:48:17,918
Open the door!
867
00:48:18,041 --> 00:48:19,671
[door stops rattling]
868
00:48:19,750 --> 00:48:21,750
[ominous music playing]
869
00:48:23,500 --> 00:48:24,330
Miles!
870
00:48:27,083 --> 00:48:27,923
Flora?
871
00:48:29,458 --> 00:48:30,418
Open the door!
872
00:48:30,833 --> 00:48:33,173
[door rattling]
873
00:48:33,250 --> 00:48:34,500
[yelling] Open the door!
874
00:48:34,583 --> 00:48:37,333
-[pounding on door]
-[Dani yelling] Open the door!
875
00:48:38,250 --> 00:48:39,580
[screaming] Open the door!
876
00:48:39,666 --> 00:48:42,206
[panicked breathing]
877
00:48:42,291 --> 00:48:43,131
No!
878
00:48:43,833 --> 00:48:44,963
Open the door!
879
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:46,830
Guys!
880
00:48:48,083 --> 00:48:49,293
[Dani screams]
881
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,080
[panicked whimpering]
882
00:48:58,541 --> 00:48:59,711
[screaming] Let me out!
883
00:48:59,916 --> 00:49:00,876
Let me out!
884
00:49:02,041 --> 00:49:03,081
Let me out!
885
00:49:03,500 --> 00:49:04,500
[Dani crying]
886
00:49:04,583 --> 00:49:07,793
-Let me out! Let me out!
-[pounding on door]
887
00:49:08,333 --> 00:49:10,753
Let me out! Let me out!
888
00:49:11,708 --> 00:49:13,628
[Dani pounding on door, whimpering]
889
00:49:14,208 --> 00:49:16,418
[insects chirping]
890
00:49:23,833 --> 00:49:26,173
[door unlocking]
891
00:49:26,583 --> 00:49:28,003
-[Dani gasps]
-[Miles] I'm so sorry.
892
00:49:29,083 --> 00:49:30,503
We're dreadfully sorry.
893
00:49:30,583 --> 00:49:31,633
