Do you mind if I ate a lollipop?
I just have bad blood sugar,
I go all dizzy if I don't eat sugar and I'm sure
you don't want me passing out in your office like a clown,
Um, where was I?
You were telling me about a dream,
Yeah,
It's the night my mother died,
I am nine years old,
I walk into the kitchen in my pajamas
and there's all these
half empty glasses of whiskey,
and
my parents are arguing in the next room,
My father,,,
He yells so loud,
Calling my mother all these bad,
bad names,
Alex, can you take the lolly
out of your mouth?
Sorry,
Um,,,
Uh, Mommy, she, she
cries and
pushes him away,
And she screams
And then,,,
There's, there's
nothing,
My father, he comes out,
and I just stand there,
And through the door, I can see,
I can see Mommy's arm on the floor,
not moving,
And then I see all this blood seeping out,
and I try to move, but it's like my legs are stuck,
My feet, they're numb,
and I try to scream, but
no sound comes out,
So, what was the detail that you remembered?
When he came out of the room,
he patted me on the head,
and smiled,
And I think I smiled back,
- Hello, Mr, - Miller, I'm Fred Jenkins,
Really nice to meet you,
Pleased to meet you,
That's my wife, Alex, - Hi,
Nice to meet you,
Shall we? - Sure,
Of course, nobody's been up here for months,
but Mr, Bradley could come back up and clean it up for you,
as well as Mr, Morris, the gardener,
Ah, no, we don't need any help, Thanks,
Okay, Okay,
Well, the house is still as Mrs, Miller left it,
I only met her a few times,
But your mother was quite an elegant and wonderful lady,
Was?
Yes, Is, of course,
Silly me,
And to reassure you, I hear that the institution
she's been placed in is very reputable,
I'm sure she's in excellent care,
Terrible, ain't it, when the mind starts to fail you?
Inevitable for us all, I suppose,
So, how long has it been since you were here last?
26 years ago,
Oh,
That's something,
Maybe you'd like to take a moment,
before we review the documents to sign?
- No, thanks, - Very well, then,
Let's get to it,
Print, sign and initial each page,
Okay,
Here you go, Same again there,
Thanks,
As Guardian, you'll be in charge of the house,
and your mother's estate, and of course, anything
that's relative to Mrs, Miller's health and well being,
So, what do you do up in Dublin?
Split my time between research and lecturing
and still writing a few papers myself, anyway, so,,,
Uh, yeah,
Babe,
Is this your sister?
Yeah,
That's Lily,
She's beautiful,
You okay?
Yeah,
Uh,,,
It's just strange to be back,
You know, it's smaller than I remember,
So, what do you think?
Fresh air would do you good,
And I could finally finish my thesis,
What about your mother?
What if she wants to come back?
She won't,
She's well taken care of where she is,
And
eventually,
the house will be ours,
So, the question is,
do you see yourself here?
Do you?
Yeah,
I didn't think I would, but yeah,
Finally, our own place,
So, the story,
Maive O'Brien had two infant sons,
Identical twins,
And one night, while they were suckling at her breasts,
she was visited by a banshee,
The Wailing Woman,
Who told her that they were identical, only in appearance,
One had been born pure and good,
and the other was born pure evil,
She wouldn't tell her which was which,
But she did offer to take the evil child with her,
So, Maive was furious,
and she sent the banshee away,
But later that same night, the boys both became very sick,
So, the banshee returned
and she told Maive that both of her sons would die,
if she didn't offer one of them up to her
by placing him on top of the castle tower,
So, Maive,
in despair, picked one
and left him where the banshee had asked,
By morning, the child was dead,
and the brother had recovered,
Maive was devastated,
and her grief drove her into madness,
and she flung herself from the top of the castle tower,
So the story goes,
So, which one did she pick?
The good one or the bad one?
Well, the years went by and little Callum grew
into a feared clan chief,
renowned for his cruelty and bloodshed,
Your ancestor?
Yeah, Afraid so,
That is where we used to skin animals, after a big hunt,
- Did you ever skin an animal? - No,
But I watched,
No wonder you became vegetarian,
Thank you,
I love it,
It's for the lady of the house,
Thank you,
Your mother must have really loved her,
- Who? - Your sister,
She kept all of her things,
She never touched her room,
Yeah,
Yeah, she had a thing for Lily,
She was her little doll,
What was that?
Hunters?
Could be,
Are they allowed to do that?
Around here? Is this,,,
Is this not private property?
Everybody hunts around here,
Wait,
Stay,
♪ Down with your rainbows and ♪
♪ Up with the sun and thunder and boom, boom ♪
Babe,
What?
I'm hungry,
I'm not finished with these papers yet,
Well, I'm hungry and there's nothing in the fridge,
Oh, can I get these?
I love these,
It's up to you,
Damian?
Damian Miller, is that you?
Would you look at you?
I cannot believe it,
Look at him!
He looks gorgeous,
So, how've you been keeping?
Good, Yes,
I'd recognize those wicked eyes anywhere,
So, have you been a good boy, have ya?
I wouldn't like to hear of you getting up
to any mischief now, would I, Damian?
Anyway, great seeing you,
Huh? You enjoy your day,
Damian Miller,
Oh, by the way, tell your mother
I was asking for her, would you?
Who's that?
I've no idea,
You know, when I went running,
I found another castle,
A castle?
Yeah,
Like
a huge red brick castle,
Ah, that's, um,,,
That's Bridgewood,
That was my boarding school,
You went to boarding school, three miles from your house?
Yeah,
What's wrong with that?
It's best school in the county,
Might've been an animal or something,
Yeah, but what about the door?
An animal didn't open the door,
Well, it can be very windy around here,
I'm sure I locked that door last night,
Maybe you thought you did and you forgot,
Happens,
Don't worry about it,
And so we're just going door to door to see if you have
seen anything around here, or-
- No, to be honest, - Anything you could help us,
- Morning, - Hi,
Mrs, Miller, I suppose?
Yeah?
I was just telling your husband here that
we're investigating on a missing person,
Have you seen anything out of the ordinary,
the last few days?
What do you mean, "out of the ordinary"?
We found her car, parked by the woods,
a few miles back,
Well, actually, we had a broken pot
and the entrance of the door, it was-
Baby, we talked about this,
It was an animal,
You have to excuse us, We're city folks,
So, gust the wind and we're freaking out,
Look, we know you're new to town, but,
have you seen this woman?
No,
Have you seen her?
Um,,,
No, No, I don't think so,
Is that the,
the missing person?
Yes, Mrs, Ferguson,
Her sister was expecting her last night,
but she never made it home,
Do you mind if we take a look
around the property?
No, Not at all,
Go ahead,
Thank you for your time,
If you see or hear anything suspicious, please call us,
Will do, Thanks,
Why did you do that?
Do what?
Lie,
That was the woman from the shop,
I didn't lie,
I haven't a clue who that woman is, do I?
This has nothing to do with us,
But if you want to go and talk to them and drag us into it,
go ahead,
Mm,
Come on,
There you go,
Will you go back to the house, okay? Leave this with me,
- I'm not going without you, - Just go back to the house,
- No! - Alex,
No!
Hello?
Can I help you?
Yeah, Uh,,,
My name's Damian Miller,
This is my wife, Alex,
And we just want to introduce ourselves, as we're neighbors,
Oh, I know who you are,
All right, then,
It's a gift,
To welcome ya,
Very kind of you, but we don't eat animals,
So, look, we were just wondering what sort of agreement
you had with my mother about hunting in the woods,
Agreement?
I don't think that crazy old bat and us
agreed on much of anything, really,
Bat,
Looks like our Deedee's taken a liking to you,
Okay, Yeah, uh,,,
Okay, You've had your bit of fun,
Now, maybe we can come to an understanding,
See, the woods are private property,
and we'd like to keep it that way,
Oh, we understand,
See, a man has to defend his private property,
doesn't he, love?
Now, what's that got to do with us, huh?
These woods are big enough
for you to keep your hunting away from our house,
Maybe we can set up a territory,
That's a good idea,
Why don't you go tell the deer and the hare
about that territory of yours?
Just so we're all,,,
In agreement,
Aye, deer,
Aye, aye, aye, deer,
Shut up, Deedee,
Now, you'll excuse me,
I'd like you to get the hell off my private property,
Let's go,
Damian?
Damian,
Damian?
Damian,
You were sleeping,
I heard a noise,
Someone is watching us,
Mr, Miller, nice to meet you,
- Hey, - How are you today?
Good,
- And you must be Mrs, Miller, - Hi,
Would you like to go and see your mother beforehand?
She's just in the sitting room downstairs,
Maybe another day,
Thanks,
Just we're in a bit of a hurry, so uh,
it's probably best if we just go straight to the forms,
Of course,
Have you signed in?
No,
Sorry, Where are the toilets?
- Right down the hall, - Great, thanks,
- Come on, Mr, - Hall, One step at a time,
Mrs, Miller?
Oh,
Hello, my dear,
How are you today?
I'm, I'm good,
Please, do take a seat,
Go on,
Can we have some tea, please?
Can we have some tea for this young child?
Milk? Sugar?
Uh, um,,,
No, that's, uh, it's okay, Thanks,
Thank you,
Ah,
She's much too young to have tea,
but she loves it, so what can I do?
Sorry, who?
My daughter, Lily,
Um, I'm, I'm Alex, by the way,
Um,,,
I'm Damian's wife?
Oh, yes,
Lovely,
But aren't you so young to be married already?
You know, it's never too late to run away,
Never,
My husband
was a brute of a man,
Angry,
Nasty,
A bad breed of a man,
It's in the blood, you know,
The evil,
So, how far along are you?
Sorry?
The baby,
Well, you should be resting,
Those little creatures will rob you of all the energy,
if you let them,
I was looking for you,
Damian, this is-
Yeah, I know,
Hello, young man,
I'll wait for you in the car,
Mm,
He's an angry one, isn't he?
I'm sorry, okay? I didn't want to upset you,
I just, I wanted to meet her,
She's your mother, I just, I thought that-
You thought nothing!
Certainly didn't think about me,
She is a senile old woman
and I have no interest in seeing her or talking to her,
and I don't want you to either, do you understand?
Yes,
Do you understand?
Yeah,
Okay,
Now, can we please just not talk about it again?
Yeah,
- Okay, - Mm-hm,
What's wrong?
Damian!
Where did you go to?
They are bad,
Bad, bad,
What are talking about?
Who's bad?
Them,
All of them,
They have the evil inside,
They have,
It's just a dream,
We're gonna stand up,
and I'm gonna get your clothes off,
And,,,
And you're gonna go to bed, okay?
Okay?
- Yeah, - Okay,
Stand up,
Yeah,
Morning,
Fresh eggs from my two little gangsters,
Please,
Woke up early this morning,
I got an hour's writing in,
Like an amazing hour's writing in,
I love it,
Tea?
Yes, please,
You don't remember,
Do you?
Remember what?
You were sleepwalking again,
I think you went outside,
because
your clothes were all wet and
your boots
were all dirty,
What're you talking about?
You were talking about
people being evil,
Look, it's okay, I mean, that happens,
I was talking to my psychiatrist about it,
and she said that somnambulism,
it's actually very common when children move to a new house,
You spoke to your psychiatrist about me?
Yeah,
You know, sleep is one of her specialties,
She's helped me so much with my nightmares,
And
she says
that it might be helpful
for you to talk to someone about it,
Okay,
You say my my clothes were wet and my boots were muddy,
- Yeah, - Mm,
Those boots?
Did you clean those boots?
I don't know,
Did you see me clean them while I was sleepwalking?
No,
But- You know what?
Maybe I'm sleepwalking, right now,
What? So, you don't believe me?
Are you drinking again?
You are,
Aren't you?
Let me smell your breath,
How dare you,
You know better than anyone
that I haven't had a drop in almost two years,
Shh! Shh!
Shush!
Shush,
This is hunting ground,
Wanna watch your step,
Your husband should know that more than anymore,
Wouldn't want anything to happen to a pretty thing like ya,
Right, come on, Deedee, You're scaring the little lady,
Alex?
You okay?
Yeah,
Fine,
Thank you for waiting, Mrs, Miller,
If you don't mind, I'd like to go over your statement
with my colleague here?
You went for an early morning run,
It's very early, it seems,
Do you usually go running so early?
I couldn't sleep,
So, you're running and you pass here, Bridgewood, and
you decide to go in, because you,
you heard a noise?
And then you saw someone in the hallway?
You identified that someone as one of your neighbors,
Derek McDonough,
Is that right?
I didn't know that was his name,
Was there anybody else you saw,
inside or outside the building?
Okay, Well, that's everything for now,
Thank you,
Your husband's waiting for you,
My husband?
Yes, we thought it best
to let him know where you were,
I don't understand,
Alex,
Why don't you say something?
A young woman,
going off running in the middle of the night,
in these woods, with those crazy men,
Are you outta your mind?
Do you have any idea how worried I was
when the guards called?
What about if he'd done something to you?
Where are we going?
Aren't you hungry? 'Cause I am starving,
Mm,
I think I'll have a beer, - Okay,
Make it two,
Mm,
Oh,
It's delicious, You should try it,
You don't eat meat,
You don't usually go running in the middle of the night,
looking for dead bodies either, do ya?
So, are you,,,
Are you gonna tell me what's going on?
Apparently,
she was a teacher there,
Years ago,
The dead woman,
in Bridgewood,
In your school,
You don't remember her?
I don't know, I don't think so,
Why should I remember her?
Because you brought me to her,
You were sleepwalking,
I don't know what I'm looking at here, It's too dark,
I can't, I can't see anything,
- You deleted it? - Folks, here's your beer,
Okay, Enjoy,
It does feel good,
Drink it,
I know you want to,
Why are you doing this?
If you're gonna be drinking again,
I'd rather we did it together,
- I'm not drinking, - Don't lie,
You're not making any sense,
Going off in the middle of the night,
and you're accusing me of stuff,
Come on,
It's okay,
Drink it,
Drink it! - I said, I'm not drinking!
I'm pregnant,
103,
That's high,
And the lymph nodes are swollen,
Maybe an intoxication,
but he's having a very strong reaction to it,
I don't like that,
So, I'm going to give him a shot
and then I'll follow up with a prescription,
Right, young man, This is going to sting a little,
You'll be as good as you new,
That's enough,
Stop it,
Damian!
- What did you give him? - Penicillin,
He'll be better soon,
Wait!
What about the prescription?
Give it a day, He should start feeling better,
If not, my advice would be to take him to the hospital,
Is he, um,,,
Nevermind,
Good luck,
- Hello? - Hello, Alex?
Isn't our phone call tomorrow?
Yeah, No, sorry,
I just, I wanted to ask you a quick question,
Could a sleepwalker commit a violent act?
What do you mean by a violent act?
Like, could someone who's sleepwalking
hurt someone in their sleep and then wake up
the next morning and not remember it?
Alex,
Has Damian been violent towards you in any way?
No, No, no, he,,,
He would never hurt me,
Why are you asking this?
You have to be honest with me, Alex,
I just, I wanted to know,
He,,,
He's, he's just very restless at night and I'm just worried
he might get aggressive, um,,,
But it's, it's probably me just being dramatic,
Okay, tell him to take this twice a day for five days
and here's some ibuprofen, every six hours,
It'll help to keep the fever down,
Okay,
Never thought something so gruesome
would happen around here,
Poor dear,
Must say, I always hated that place,
I was glad when they shut it down,
Something ungodly about it,
You mean Bridgewood?
The boarding school?
Oh, that's no boarding school,
It was a reformatory,
Little prison for minors, really,
Children who'd committed serious crimes, you know?
Why were you sent to that place?
My mother didn't want me at the house,
What did you do?
Can't remember,
You think I killed that woman, don't you?
I don't know,
You have to believe me, Alex,
Tighter,
No!
Let me go!
Bitch!
Bitch! No, no!
No!
Untie me!
Fucking cunt!
Fuck you, you bitch!
Let me go!
No! You stay!
No!
No, no!
I'm gonna kill you, I'm gonna kill you!
I'm gonna kill you, you fucking cunt!
Stupid cunt!
It's okay,
Everything's all right,
Untie me,
Just try to keep still,
and get some rest, okay?
Where you going?
You can't, you can't leave me like this,
Alex, you can't leave me like this, okay? It's me,
It's me, all right?
Untie me, please,
You're not going anywhere! You have to untie me now, okay?
You have to untie me!
Alex, come back!
Alex!
- All right, - Thank you very much, Doctor,
You're welcome,
And say hi to Marge for me, won't you?
- Will do, - Okay,
- Thanks, bye, - Cheers, bye-Bye,
Hello,
Yes?
You told me to contact you,
if my husband didn't get any better,
Did the fever not come down?
Yeah, it did,
All right, then what's the problem?
Why did you wish me good luck when you left yesterday?
Good luck?
Yeah,
You seemed to want to say something and then
you stopped and wished me good luck,
What did you wanna say to me?
I really don't recall,
Damian recognized you from Bridgewood, didn't he?
What did you do to him?
What did you do to the children there?
You experimented on them,
There was a lot of misunderstanding,
We actually made quite good progress with our research,
And I'm sure the results would've been extraordinary,
if the program hadn't been shut down,
Do you believe a child can be evil?
Because if you believe in the child's innocence,
then you'll understand that the evil in him
is nothing more than a genetic mutation,
An accident,
Something that went wrong,
Why was Damian sent to Bridgewood?
Yes,
Damian,
An interesting case,
His mother pushed for it,
Convinced the judge, really,
What did he do?
That's classified information,
You killed them,
Didn't you?
With your treatment,
Those children needed help,
and we were able to help most of them,
You wouldn't believe the number of families that thanked us
for the precious work we were doing,
You should rot in jail for the rest of your life,
I already went on trial and I was acquitted,
Now,,,
I wish you
very good luck,
And I mean it,
You see, I'm afraid evil sticks to some people,
no matter what you do,
I saw it in his eyes,
But maybe you like that sort of thing,
You're disgusting,
Why are you leaving tonight, love?
Running away from something, are ya?
What do you want?
I want you to clean up this mess you've created,
I don't know what you're talking about,
Don't lie to me,
You went and you told the police I don't know what lies
about Deedee and they're sniffing around in my business,
like I'm a criminal or something,
Well, I just,,,
I told them what I saw,
What was that?
That I, I saw him at Bridgewood,
But that's not all you saw, was it?
See, Deedee told me what he saw, too,
He knows your husband,
They're old acquaintances from Bridgewood, you see,
Now, look, That old bitch got what she deserved,
But our Deedee, he had nothing to do with it,
He's been through enough, Do you understand what I'm saying?
I've got to go,
That's right, You do have to go,
'Cause me and you are going to the guards,
and you're gonna go and you're gonna tell them
the fuckin' truth this time,
You're the coward,
You're the coward!
You okay?
Did he hurt you?
It's okay,
Open your mouth,
Alex,
Open your mouth,
Good,
No, don't kill me,
Please,
I'm sorry,
Sorry,
Don't worry, Doc,
Please don't do anything,
You'll be as good as new,
Well,,,
Hello, my dear,
Are you okay?
Oh, I,,,
We're going to make a nice cup of tea,
Babe,
What're you doing?
I thought you were still sleeping,
Shh, shh, shh, It's okay,
Come on,
We're gonna have a cup of tea,
Okay?
Here,
Young man, Would you know where the tea is?
I seem to can't remember where anything is anymore,
It's on the table,
Oh,
Okay,
Tea?
Yes,
Please,
Sugar? Milk?
No,
No, thanks,
So,,,
Tell me,
Do you not remember me at all?
Of course I do,
You're the nice young man who came to take me home,
No,
Give you a clue,
I used to call you mommy,
Really?
That's just plain silly,
Where in heaven's name did you get that idea from?
Because I'm your son,
I'm your son and you're my mother,
But I only have one daughter, and her name is Lily,
Have you met her?
I remember it was cold that morning,
and you insisted we go on the hunt,
It was your idea,
We just wanted to stay in our warm beds,
It was still very dark,
I remember I felt proud,
to hold a rifle,
like a grown up, like a man,
But I knew my place,
So, I stayed quietly behind,
And then I saw it,
The most magnificent deer,
And it was at my reach,
I fired once, twice, maybe three times,
I didn't know she was standing there,
I couldn't see her,
I didn't,
I heard her,
cry out and fall,
I ran over to her, and I tried to stop the blood,
You pushed me out of the way,
And you started screaming at me,
"What have you done?
What have you done?"
So, you sent me into hell,
Do you even know what they did to me in there?
They didn't take out the evil in me, They put it there,
Why?
Why did you leave me there?
Why didn't you come back for me?
She's completely erased me,
Fine,
I'm fine,
Are you sure you don't remember?
Alex!
Alex, come back!
Alex!
Baby!
Alex,
Alex!
I love you!
I can't, I can't live without you!
Alex!
Baby,
Baby, come out!
I see you!
Alex!
Come back!
Baby!
What are you doing?
Why did you run off like that?
Come to me,
Shh, shh, shh,
Shh, shh,
It's okay,
It's okay, It's okay,
It's okay,
Come here,
Come on,
Shh, shh, shh, shh,
It's okay,
I'll take care of you and our baby,
Shh, shh, shh, shh,
Shh,
