A secret affair between a handyman and a reverend's wife parallels a past tragedy at the haunted Borley Rectory.
Transcript
00:00:00Good morning. I'm here to see the Reverend.
00:00:25And you are?
00:00:27I'm Frank. I've come about the handyman job.
00:00:31Oh, right. Come in.
00:00:34Of course.
00:00:46Ah, Reverend.
00:00:48Yes.
00:00:50I'm Frank. Frank Pearlis. I've come about the handyman job.
00:00:55Ah, yes. Please. Come through.
00:01:03This sure is a wonderful place you have here, Reverend. Wonderful.
00:01:08Oh, please. Call me Lionel.
00:01:11Lionel it is.
00:01:13So, what is your previous work experience?
00:01:16Well, I've done a lot of manual labour. My last job was as a handyman in London. I worked for a family there.
00:01:23And why did you leave?
00:01:25Well, the family there, they fell on hard times financially. And they couldn't afford to pay me so, well, I just had to move on.
00:01:35Yes, a lot of people are suffering these days. It's tough out there.
00:01:40Mmm. That's right. It sure is tough. But I, just like everybody else, we need to keep earning, right? And with me, it's not just for the roof over my head. You see, I'm working towards a bigger career goal here.
00:01:54Really? And what is it?
00:01:57I want to be in films.
00:01:59Oh, erm, as an actor?
00:02:03That's right. I plan to make enough money and get myself off to Hollywood, in fact.
00:02:08Hmm. Well, I always admire people with big ambition.
00:02:17Of course, that doesn't mean I'm going to take the job on and leave you high and dry a few months down the road, you understand.
00:02:24I'm looking to make a lot of money, so I am willing to commit myself for a couple of years, at least.
00:02:31Well, that's good to know.
00:02:34Well, the main duties will be maintaining the garden, general work on the house.
00:02:41In a nutshell, anything needed to keep the house and grounds in shape.
00:02:48Well, I can, I can do all that.
00:02:57Listen, I'd normally interview other applicants, but I trust my instincts.
00:03:07I think you'd work hard and be a good asset to the place.
00:03:17Why, thank you, Lionel. I really do appreciate this opportunity.
00:03:24So I'll see you first thing tomorrow morning?
00:03:27First thing it is.
00:03:30Marianne will see you out.
00:03:32Thank you, and have yourself a good day now.
00:03:35And you too.
00:04:05All alone, I'm sorry, I made it big since I poco miles.
00:04:08I don't wanna go bay.
00:04:10Montage a very Greenhouse.
00:04:11My house is 3!
00:04:14Ok!
00:04:15The church?
00:04:16What did you ask?
00:04:18What happened?
00:04:20I told you to visitация display where we find thewoman.
00:04:23You can't guess it, no matter what the time you have ever lived in the house
00:04:26I will reach my friends and the family.
00:04:28I told you and haven't tried everywhere.
00:04:30You can't knowing your व Woo...
00:05:04I've got to get my skates on. I'm running late. Frank will be round later to start work on the garden.
00:05:24Alright.
00:05:34Sorry to bother you. I couldn't get a drink, could I? It's thirsty work out there.
00:05:51God, where are my manners? I should have offered you some water.
00:05:58How about something a little stronger maybe? It's tough going out there, you know.
00:06:05Oh, um, okay. Please, come in. Have a break.
00:06:13Cheers.
00:06:25Cheers.
00:06:31Um, my husband says you've been working as a handyman in London.
00:06:37Mm, that's right. Good old London town, eh? Yes, I've worked all over Europe, actually.
00:06:45Really?
00:06:46Mm. I've spent quite a lot of time in France a few years back now.
00:06:50Mm, France?
00:06:51Yeah, I opened a shoe store there in a town called Arlo.
00:06:55Yeah, I can remember the locals used to call me Francois de Arlo.
00:06:59Do you, do you speak any French?
00:07:09Vous avez de bougie.
00:07:11Hmm? What does that mean?
00:07:16You have very beautiful eyes.
00:07:19Right. Best get back to the work.
00:07:29Look, thank you so much for the drink, and the seat, and your eyes.
00:07:34Um, just knock the door if you need anything.
00:07:40I will. I'll do just that.
00:07:42Do.
00:07:49Do.
00:08:15Do.
00:08:16I don't know.
00:08:46Hey!
00:08:48God in heaven! I thought you were a burglar!
00:09:05Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
00:09:09What are you doing here?
00:09:12Are you homeless?
00:09:14No, I wouldn't quite put it that way.
00:09:17How would you put it?
00:09:19Look, I'm sorry. Look, I can just go now and I'll come back in the morning, okay?
00:09:26Listen, you don't need to go. If you need a place to stay, we have a guest room.
00:09:32A guest room?
00:09:35That's awfully kind of you, Lionel, but I couldn't put such an imposition on it.
00:09:39There's no imposition.
00:09:42What about your wife? Wouldn't she mind?
00:09:44She would be agreeable. Now, come on, let's get you upstairs and settled in. All right?
00:09:54Only if you insist.
00:09:57Why?
00:10:05You couldn't find any lodgings in town?
00:10:07No. No, they're all full, all booked.
00:10:10Oh.
00:10:12Look, that's not entirely the truth, Lionel.
00:10:17The truth is I don't have a penny to my name.
00:10:21I thought I could build up some money working here and then find a place to stay.
00:10:28How embarrassing.
00:10:30Well, you're welcome to stay here until you get back on your feet.
00:10:37Are you sure?
00:10:38Of course.
00:10:40It's at times like these I'm reminded of a passage in the Bible.
00:10:43What good is it if someone says they have faith but do not have works?
00:10:50You see, faith by itself without works is dead.
00:10:56Wow.
00:10:59You really are a good man, Lionel.
00:11:02Well, anything you need, just let me know.
00:11:06You have a restful evening.
00:11:08Oh, I'm sure I will.
00:11:11You're very welcome.
00:11:18I'm sure I will.
00:11:33Whoa!
00:11:37What the hell is the handyman doing in our bath?
00:11:41He's homeless.
00:11:45What?
00:11:47I found him sleeping in the shed last night.
00:11:50He doesn't have anywhere else to go.
00:11:52So, he's staying here?
00:11:56In the guest bedroom.
00:11:58Is that all right with you?
00:11:59What?
00:12:00How long is he going to be here?
00:12:04Perhaps a couple of weeks.
00:12:07He needs to earn enough money to find a place of his own.
00:12:10He's broke.
00:12:12Oh, so that's our problem, is it?
00:12:15I don't see helping others as being a problem.
00:12:24Are you saying I do?
00:12:26Of course not.
00:12:28I am not the heartless bitch you think I am.
00:12:33I don't think that. Don't be silly.
00:12:37You implied that I see helping others as a problem.
00:12:39Well, I don't.
00:12:41I'm sorry. I didn't mean to imply that.
00:12:44In the future.
00:12:46If you're going to invite strangers to live here,
00:12:49I would like to know about it before I find them naked in the bathroom.
00:12:52In the bathroom!
00:13:22Look, Marianna, I'm sorry I startled you earlier on there.
00:13:45Don't worry about it.
00:13:48Well, the last thing I want to do is be an inconvenience to you.
00:13:54From now on, I'll try to stay out of your hair, okay?
00:14:04You know...
00:14:09It was kind of funny.
00:14:12Well, yes, I suppose it was.
00:14:15Your face was a picture, Marianne.
00:14:19I didn't exactly expect to see a naked stranger in the bathtub.
00:14:23Well, I promise from now on I'll keep my clothes on, okay?
00:14:35Wasn't the worst thing I've ever seen.
00:14:37Should I be taking that as a compliment then?
00:14:39Yeah.
00:14:44Um...
00:14:46You, uh...
00:14:48Do you want a drink or something?
00:14:50No.
00:14:51No, I...
00:14:53Plenty of work to do today.
00:14:54Lots and lots of work today, sir.
00:14:55I just wanted to apologise, that's all.
00:14:58Don't worry about it.
00:14:59Don't worry about it.
00:15:02Okay.
00:15:07The garden's coming along nicely.
00:15:08Mmm.
00:15:09This is delicious.
00:15:11The garden's coming along nicely.
00:15:12Mmm.
00:15:13It's getting there.
00:15:14Do you know, I don't know if either of you have had any thoughts on flowers.
00:15:15But I really do believe the garden would be a good one.
00:15:17I don't' know if either of you have had any thoughts on flowers.
00:15:30But I really do believe the garden would be a good one.
00:15:33And get some food.
00:15:34Like a...
00:15:35Well, it's getting a good one.
00:15:36What a weird one.
00:15:37And then, I don't know if either of you have had any thoughts on flowers.
00:15:39I really do believe the garden would be a good one.
00:15:42sunflowers. I really do believe the garden would benefit with a bit of colour.
00:15:47That sounds good. Marianne?
00:15:52I've always loved bronze chrysanthemums.
00:15:57Now they are a good choice. There's a wide variety of those. There's spoon-shaped, quill-shaped, thread-like
00:16:03and spider-like florets. You do know the meaning behind the bronze chrysanthemum, don't you?
00:16:08No.
00:16:10It represents excitement.
00:16:15Do you go to church, Frank?
00:16:19No. No, I don't. It's not that I don't believe or anything. I simply struggle to find the time, you know.
00:16:29God always finds time for us. Sometimes we need to find time for him, too.
00:16:37Lionel. He just wants to have dinner. Not get converted.
00:16:45Whatever you say, dear.
00:16:46Lionel?
00:16:47No, thank you.
00:16:51Lionel?
00:16:52No, thank you.
00:17:00Good morning, Lionel.
00:17:01Huh?
00:17:02Ah, morning. Did you sleep alright in the guest bedroom?
00:17:10Yes. Wonderful, thank you. Good. Well, I've got to get going.
00:17:29Good morning. Good morning. Would you like some breakfast? No, I don't want to trouble you.
00:17:49It's no trouble.
00:17:55You really are a good cook, Marianne.
00:18:14Thanks.
00:18:17What's funny?
00:18:26Oh, I...
00:18:29Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude. It's...
00:18:31I just paid you a compliment there, that's all. And you kind of treated it like an insult.
00:18:36Sorry. I just...
00:18:46Sometimes...
00:18:47It seems like that's all I do around here.
00:18:51I cook the meals.
00:18:54That's it.
00:18:57Yes.
00:18:59Boredom really is a killer sometimes, isn't it?
00:19:12You're missing the point.
00:19:16No, no. No, I get the point.
00:19:20Oh, you do? Do you?
00:19:23Mm-hmm.
00:19:25What exactly is the point?
00:19:32That question, Marianne.
00:19:38What is the point?
00:19:41It's hard for you to see the point right now, isn't it?
00:19:48I mean...
00:19:50You...
00:19:51You clean the house, you cook the food, and...
00:19:54You do the dishes.
00:19:55And then...
00:19:57Well, then you clean the house, you cook the food, and then you do the dishes.
00:20:01Every day is the same.
00:20:04But you do your best, Marianne.
00:20:07Playing the role of the good housewife.
00:20:09But that's just it, isn't it?
00:20:12It's just a role.
00:20:15Like an actor pretending to be something else.
00:20:19Maybe, just maybe, you're pretending to be half of what you really are.
00:20:26The question is, Marianne.
00:20:29How long can you go on feeling this unhappy?
00:20:33Lying in there, every night, staring up at the ceiling.
00:20:38Just...
00:20:39Just waiting for something to happen.
00:20:41Knowing all the while...
00:20:43That you were meant for something better.
00:20:49Feeling it.
00:20:52Wanting it.
00:20:56Needing it.
00:21:01You know nothing about me!
00:21:13You know nothing about me.
00:21:14I know what I'm saying.
00:21:16I don't know if, but I still have a feeling in my life that...
00:21:20I'll go on a beach.
00:21:22I don't know.
00:21:23You know something else?
00:21:24I don't know if I can...
00:21:30I don't know if...
00:21:31You don't know what I know.
00:21:32I don't know if...
00:21:33You don't know how to breathe, you know what I know.
00:21:35You don't know.
00:21:36My heart is sad and I'm all alone
00:21:56My man treats me mean
00:22:01I regret the day that I was born
00:22:08And that man I ever seen
00:22:13My happiness is less today
00:22:19My heart is broke, that's why I say
00:22:25Not a good man is hard to find
00:22:31You always get another time
00:22:37Yeah, so when you think that it's your plan
00:22:44You're looking fine and fooling down
00:22:48And I'm all alone
00:22:50And you say, you are the same
00:22:55You are the same
00:22:58Now you pray
00:23:01Yes, yes, yes
00:23:04Yes, yes
00:23:05Yes, yes
00:23:08Yes, yes
00:23:20Please, yay
00:23:23Yes, yes
00:25:56Oh, please, help me, help me.
00:26:00Marianne, oh my goodness.
00:26:03Are you okay?
00:26:05What happened?
00:26:06I guess there's someone in here.
00:26:12A man.
00:26:13What man?
00:26:17I don't know.
00:26:18Come on.
00:26:19I don't know.
00:26:19You're okay now.
00:26:21Come on.
00:26:22Let's get you up here.
00:26:24Come on.
00:26:26Oh my goodness, you're freezing.
00:26:28It's okay.
00:26:29Shh.
00:26:30It's okay.
00:26:31There's no man.
00:26:33Okay.
00:26:34Shh.
00:26:34Are you feeling better now?
00:26:45Are you feeling better now?
00:26:45Yeah.
00:26:45Are you feeling better now?
00:26:47I don't know.
00:26:56I don't know what happened.
00:26:58I don't know what happened.
00:26:58The wireless...
00:26:59The wireless...
00:27:01Someone had lit the fire while I was...
00:27:11Someone had lit the fire while I was...
00:27:12And then I saw this man.
00:27:17What man?
00:27:18in
00:27:21in robes

00:27:27like a monk

00:27:39I've followed him upstairs but then he just

00:28:12I really did overstep the mark
00:28:14no
00:28:15no you were right
00:28:18I'm not happy
00:28:27no
00:28:38no
00:28:38no
00:28:39no
00:28:39no
00:30:09Any luck searching for a new place, Frank?
00:30:15I've made quite a few inquiries in town, Lionel, but nothing as yet.
00:30:21Hmm.
00:30:24Well, you're welcome to stay here as long as you need to be.
00:30:28Thanks.
00:30:31The garden's coming along nicely now, isn't it, sweetheart?
00:30:35Yes.
00:30:38Frank's doing a wonderful job here.
00:30:45Hmm.
00:30:46Hmm.
00:32:48Could you come upstairs for a moment?
00:32:50I'd like to speak to you.
00:32:51What's this?
00:33:05What the crikey Moses is this doing in here?
00:33:09I was about to ask you the same thing.
00:33:13I don't know.
00:33:16Did you put this here?
00:33:21Come on, Lionel.
00:33:22Now, this is no laughing matter.
00:33:24Why would I put a scarecrow in my bed?
00:33:29You tell me.
00:33:32All right, Lionel.
00:33:34Just listen, okay?
00:33:35I don't know what it's doing here, and I certainly didn't put it there, okay?
00:33:39I can...
00:33:40I can just...
00:33:42Just burn it in the garden.
00:33:43Now.
00:33:44Burn it?
00:33:45What for?
00:33:46Just do it.
00:33:48Do it now.
00:33:49I think your Lionel's a bit stressed out.
00:34:03Do we have to talk about him right now?
00:34:09Yeah, sorry.
00:34:11Yeah.
00:34:12No, it's just that, well, he was...
00:34:15He was really quite adamant about me burning this silly scarecrow in the garden.
00:34:21Do you know, I think he was really scared of it.
00:34:28He's just enjoying the power over you.
00:34:32The power over me?
00:34:34What do you mean?
00:34:36I think he likes telling people what to do.
00:34:39That's why he's a reverend.
00:34:41He can tell people what's what and claim it's the word of God.
00:34:45What, he tells you what to do, does he?
00:34:48No.
00:34:49No one's my boss.
00:34:59Good afternoon.
00:35:01Hello.
00:35:03I'm reverend Foyster.
00:35:04I thought I'd introduced myself.
00:35:06I've not seen you at the church before.
00:35:09I haven't been for a while.
00:35:11Oh, well, perhaps I can convince you to pay a visit sometime.
00:35:14I often come to the graveyard.
00:35:16I'm visiting a loved one.
00:35:18Yes.
00:35:19My one true love.
00:35:21I'm sorry you lost him.
00:35:31You have a good heart.
00:35:34But you're surrounded by evil.
00:35:36Excuse me?
00:35:38Your house.
00:35:39The rectory.
00:35:39You need to lay those tormented spirits to rest.
00:35:42You need to lay those tormented spirits to rest.
00:35:42do you?
00:35:46Do you know what the hell is?
00:35:49Do you know what happened?
00:35:49No, I'm sorry.
00:35:56You're out.
00:35:59You're not.
00:36:30You could blow my holy trumpet any day in my hand.
00:36:46Hi, Lionel.
00:36:52Lionel, please take a seat. Take the weight off your feet.
00:36:57He really do looks plaxxed.
00:37:27I've got dinner cooking.
00:37:33That's nice.
00:37:57You're hungry, man.
00:37:58You're hungry, man.
00:38:02You're hungry.
00:38:33What the hell is that?
00:39:03Frank!
00:39:04Stay here!
00:39:05Oh my god!
00:39:10Who is he?
00:39:14Frank!
00:39:16Oh my god!
00:39:20How did this happen?
00:39:23Don't understand.
00:39:24I don't understand what happened.
00:39:44I thought it was a dream.
00:39:51And there was nobody else in the room with you?
00:39:54No one.
00:39:54No one.
00:39:57It felt like I was being pinned down, but there was no one there.
00:40:02I felt like I was being whipped, but I couldn't see anyone.
00:40:09This house is haunted.
00:40:11Have you seen something?
00:40:18I've seen a few things.
00:40:20Things that frighten me.
00:40:23Why didn't you say anything?
00:40:25I wondered if it was my imagination.
00:40:28I tried to find rational explanations, but now I must admit the truth.
00:40:35Evil is living here with us.
00:40:37With all due respect, Lyman, ghosts aren't real for Christ's sakes.
00:40:41Well, your injuries are very real though, aren't they?
00:40:44How do you explain that?
00:40:45I don't know.
00:40:52I've seen something too.
00:40:54What?
00:40:57I saw a man in a hooded robe.
00:41:02He looked like a monk.
00:41:06I followed him into Frank's room.
00:41:10The monk burst out of the cupboard, but then I screamed and he was gone.
00:41:15I don't, I really don't know about all this monk business, Mary.
00:41:19I'm, like I said, maybe it was all in your mind.
00:41:23You knew about this too?
00:41:26Frank heard me screaming.
00:41:27He came in to make sure I was okay.
00:41:29I thought there was an intruder in the house, Lyman.
00:41:32She was screaming.
00:41:36Why didn't you tell me?
00:41:38I don't know.
00:41:40Like you, I was trying to find a rational explanation for it.
00:41:45I suppose something's better left unsaid.
00:41:58Well, if this place is haunted, what can we do about it?
00:42:02In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
00:42:13Peace be with this house, and all who live in it.
00:42:17When Christ took flesh through the Blessed Virgin Mary, he made his home with us.
00:42:34The Lord said to the 72, into whatever house you enter, first say, peace to this household.
00:42:47If a peaceful person lives there, your peace will rest on them, but if not, it will return to you.
00:42:59Stay in the same household.
00:43:02Eat and drink what is set before you, for the labourer deserves his payment.
00:43:08If you are the sick who live there, we say to them, the kingdom of God is there to live.
00:43:18What's wrong?
00:43:38What's all this?
00:43:39What's all this, sir?
00:43:41It just appeared.
00:43:45Just...
00:43:46Blindly.
00:43:50This looks like blood.
00:44:00My God.
00:44:03What happened?
00:44:05Your Lionel here seems to think this...
00:44:10This all just appeared.
00:44:16I...
00:44:16I walked round...
00:44:18Bed, and when I turned back, it...
00:44:21It was there.
00:44:30There's blood all at the...
00:44:32Back inside there.
00:44:35Hey...
00:44:35This is loose.
00:44:45Loose.
00:44:47Loose.
00:44:58Jesus!
00:45:00Oh my God.
00:45:03Lionel?
00:45:14What the hell is going on in here?
00:45:33How's Marianne? Where is she?
00:45:40She's just had a bit of a shock. She's having a lie down.
00:45:49As long as she's okay, eh?
00:45:52She'll feel better after resting.
00:45:56Look, I was going to ask. Are you going to speak to the police about all this?
00:46:09Of course.
00:46:15Well, I was kind of hoping you wouldn't, see?
00:46:20Why?
00:46:22I've done something that I'm not particularly proud of, Lionel.
00:46:30What have you done, Frank?
00:46:34It's about that family I was working for in London.
00:46:38What about them?
00:46:41Oh, I...
00:46:43I just borrowed some money from them, that's all.
00:46:46Borrowed?
00:46:48Well, they wouldn't pay me for the work, see?
00:46:51So I...
00:46:52So I had to make some threats, and well...
00:46:55I suppose I took some money that...
00:46:57That they weren't prepared to give.
00:47:00You stole money from them?
00:47:02Stole? I don't think that's the right word to use here, Lionel.
00:47:06They might see it that way, but...
00:47:08I was merely taking what I was owed for the work, see?
00:47:12And they reported you to the police?
00:47:15Yes.
00:47:17And are the police looking for you?
00:47:20I suppose so.
00:47:30And do you still have the money?
00:47:32No.
00:47:34I spent the money travelling.
00:47:35I...
00:47:36I really wasn't lying when I said I had no money, I...
00:47:44You realise I have to speak to the police?
00:47:48Don't come online like...
00:47:51I'm too really...
00:47:52Let me finish.
00:47:54I have to speak to the police about what we found.
00:47:56But...
00:47:58I can delay it.
00:48:00I'll give you a week to find somewhere else to live.
00:48:04A week?
00:48:05Well, that's a bit harsh, isn't it?
00:48:08Look...
00:48:11How's about this?
00:48:13How's about?
00:48:14I...
00:48:15I just do a bunker for a couple of days, and then...
00:48:17I could come back when the police have gone.
00:48:19How's about that, eh?
00:48:20The thing is, Frank...
00:48:26I'm a reverend.
00:48:27I have a moral responsibility.
00:48:31It wouldn't be very moral of me to harbour a wanted criminal.
00:48:37So...
00:48:39I think it's time for you to move on.
00:48:41Just be thankful I'm not asking you to leave right away.
00:48:45At least I'm giving you some time.
00:48:47Time.
00:48:49Oh, I...
00:48:51I am thankful, Lionel.
00:48:53I am.
00:48:55It's just a pity, you see.
00:48:57I was really starting to enjoy my time here.
00:49:05Well...
00:49:07All good things must come to an end.
00:49:17Ah...
00:49:19Go inside and have a drink.
00:49:47It's been a difficult day for all of us, we've got to get some rest, some rest, of course.
00:50:17It's been a difficult day for all of us, we've got to get some rest, we've got to get some rest, we've got to get some rest, we've got to get some rest.
00:50:29Okay.
00:50:59I don't know.
00:51:29Lionel knows about us.
00:51:49Did he say that?
00:51:53Not in so many words.
00:51:56What did he say then?
00:51:58He found the torn red dress that I hid in the shed.
00:52:03That doesn't mean nothing.
00:52:06I just know he knows.
00:52:11Yes.
00:52:12There have been some awkward moments with him.
00:52:16Exactly.
00:52:18He knows.
00:52:19So what do you want to do?
00:52:29I don't know.
00:52:31Do you want to stay with him?
00:52:33I'm unhappy with Lionel.
00:52:43Lionel is weak.
00:52:45You need a strong man, Marianne.
00:52:48I don't know.
00:52:52He'll go quietly.
00:52:57What are you talking about?
00:52:59Why, he's weaker than any man I've ever seen.
00:53:02You don't know him like I do.
00:53:09When he's passionate about something, he'll fight for it.
00:53:16Well.
00:53:16Maybe there is one way we can be sure he'll let you go.
00:53:27What?
00:53:31I could take care of him.
00:53:37Take care of him?
00:53:38You know.
00:53:44Get him closer to God.
00:53:48Are you serious?
00:54:03Why not?
00:54:03Well, you said you didn't love him, didn't you?
00:54:09Hmm?
00:54:10And he has treated you terribly, Marianne.
00:54:13Hell, I could...
00:54:14I could make that look like an accident.
00:54:20It's one thing not to love someone.
00:54:24It's another thing to bloody kill.
00:54:26Okay, Marianne.
00:54:27Calm.
00:54:28Calm down.
00:54:28How can I be calm when you're suggesting something so terrible?
00:54:31Jesus Christ.
00:54:32Marianne.
00:54:32Marianne.
00:54:33I just want to be with you and...
00:54:35And I'll do whatever it takes to make that happen.
00:54:38I swear to God I will.
00:54:58Hey.
00:55:00Wait.
00:55:00I've been waiting for you.
00:55:03I know.
00:55:04You were right.
00:55:05There is evil in my house.
00:55:07It's an ancient evil.
00:55:09It's been dormant for many years, but now something has unlocked it.
00:55:14Do you know what happened in that house?
00:55:16Yes.
00:55:17Please, tell me.
00:55:18Many years ago, there was a French nun.
00:55:24She left her religious ordering to travel to England.
00:55:27She married the first son of the Waldergraves, a powerful family who owned the rector at the time.
00:55:33The nun's name was Marie Lair.
00:55:36After she got married, Marie fell deeply unhappy.
00:55:40There used to be a Benedictine monastery in the area at the time, and she went there to pray for guidance.
00:55:47During one of her visits, she met a monk.
00:55:50His name was Antony.
00:55:51Eventually, the two fell in love.
00:55:55They began an affair.
00:55:57The nun's husband found out.
00:56:00One night, he lured them both back into the house and killed them in one of the bedrooms.
00:56:05Was he ever brought to justice?
00:56:08No.
00:56:10Neither the nun nor the monk had any family.
00:56:12They weren't going to be missed.
00:56:15The bodies were concealed in one of the bedrooms and never spoken of again.
00:56:18Of course they were.
00:56:21All the questions that were asked, but no one dared challenge the powerful Waldergrave family.
00:56:25Now the spirits of Marie and Antony haunt the rectory, lost in limbo between this world and the next.
00:56:34How can I help them to move on?
00:56:36The only way is to gather the bones, bring them here and bury them in hallowed ground.
00:56:41That way they can finally find their way to gold.
00:56:48And how do you know all this?
00:56:49The DIFFERENT
00:57:08Let's go.
00:57:38You okay, Lionel?
00:57:52Choco.
00:57:59Do you know how I met Marianne?
00:58:08No.
00:58:14It was at a church fete, fifteen years ago.
00:58:20I was in a parish in Devon at that time.
00:58:26She was confident, vivacious, very social.
00:58:34I was a quiet homebody, the complete opposite of her.
00:58:41But when we met, it felt very natural.
00:58:47That day we talked and talked about everything and anything about her past, my past.
00:59:03We shared a few laughs.
00:59:12We connected.
00:59:16It was special.
00:59:17I remember walking home one evening.
00:59:26Thinking...
00:59:28This is the woman for me.
00:59:33That I would move heaven and earth to have her in my life.
00:59:37We continued to see each other.
00:59:44Perhaps we grew too close too quickly.
00:59:50Doubts crept in.
00:59:53For her, that is.
00:59:56Not me.
00:59:57Marianne wasn't ready for a relationship.
01:00:06Months went by before I saw her again.
01:00:09Then one Sunday, she came to church.
01:00:13Absence really does make the heart grow fonder.
01:00:23The moment I saw her again.
01:00:28I knew I was completely in love with her.
01:00:31She said her doubts were gone.
01:00:38She was sure I was the one for her.
01:00:44And a few months later, she made me the happiest man alive by agreeing to be my wife.
01:00:51I found my best friend.
01:01:03My soulmate.
01:01:04But now...
01:01:18I wonder whether those doubts...
01:01:21Ever truly left her...
01:01:24I wonder whether...
01:01:28I have been living in denial of...
01:01:32But one thing is constant. My feelings haven't changed. I will still move heaven and earth to have her in my life.
01:02:02Well, I really don't know what to say about all that, Lionel. Your move.
01:02:31There's nothing more to say.
01:02:35I want you gone by the end of the week.
01:02:47I want you gone by the end of the week.
01:02:59And what time do you call this? What are you laughing at?
01:03:21You, Marianne. All high and mighty.
01:03:31Excuse me?
01:03:35You do not tell me what to do ever again.
01:03:39You do not tell me what to do.
01:03:53You do not tell me what to do.
01:03:55You do not tell me what to do.
01:03:59You do not tell me what to do.
01:04:03You do not tell me what to do.
01:04:05I am still at home.
01:04:07All day.
01:04:09You want me back.
01:04:11What?
01:04:13You do not tell me what to do.
01:04:27Is that too much effort? You've never had to work for anything in your entire life!
01:04:34You only wanted a husband so you can have everything handed to you!
01:04:39Oh, you fucking bastard!
01:04:41It shows how much you know about me if you think that!
01:04:45Why did you marry me then? It wasn't for love!
01:04:49Oh, you think you've got all the answers, don't you?
01:04:52You arrogant little sod! You don't know anything about me!
01:04:57You never loved me!
01:04:59Oh! No!
01:05:02Okay! I suppose I didn't!
01:05:04I never loved you! I just married you for the security!
01:05:07Is that what you wanted to hear?
01:05:10Finally! The truth! Finally!
01:05:14Oh, fuck off, Lionel!
01:05:16Yeah, you'd like that, wouldn't you?
01:05:19Then you could be all alone with him!
01:05:22Oh, you've gone insane!
01:05:32Oh, I'm the crazy one now, am I?
01:05:35I am not an idiot, Marianne!
01:05:39No!
01:05:40No, you're not an idiot!
01:05:43You're just a cruel, cruel man!
01:05:47How? How am I cruel?
01:05:49No! You are never, ever affectionate!
01:05:53I mean, you deprived me of sex!
01:05:55Have you any idea what that's done to my self-esteem?
01:05:58So that's your excuse for sleeping with the hell?
01:06:06Lost for words?
01:06:08No, he's more man than you will ever be!
01:06:20You think he's... a man?
01:06:27A real man doesn't use another man's wife!
01:06:34They didn't use me.
01:06:44I wanted it.
01:06:46You disgust me.
01:06:57That's why you never wanted to have sex with me.
01:07:00Shut up!
01:07:00You know what? Frank isn't disgusted by me.
01:07:06That's why I sucked his cock.
01:07:08Shut your foul mouth!
01:07:10I sucked his cock, and I let him fuck me.
01:07:13I'm really horny, Marianne.
01:07:16I let him fuck me in the arse as well.
01:07:30You okay, Marianne?
01:07:36I want you to get him.
01:07:40You okay, Marianne?
01:07:49I want you to get him.
01:07:55I want you to get him.
01:07:59What was that?
01:08:02I want you to kill him.
01:08:10Consider it done.
01:08:18I want you to kill him.
01:08:26I want you to kill him.
01:08:29I want you to kill him.
01:09:34Lord, let me commend Marie and Anthony to your mercy.
01:09:48Lord God, our Father in heaven, the Son and Saviour of the earth, the Holy Spirit, have mercy on them.
01:09:58Amen.
01:10:28Amen.
01:10:35Amen.
01:10:36Amen.
01:12:06Evening, Lionel.
01:12:15What do you want?
01:12:16It's just that cupboard in my room.
01:12:22It's not your room.
01:12:24It's my guest room.
01:12:26Whatever you say, Lionel.
01:12:28What about the cupboard?
01:12:30Oh, it's just that I think I've found some other stuff in there.
01:12:36What's other stuff?
01:12:40Come with me and I can show you.
01:12:42So are you going to tell me what you have in there?
01:13:07Go in and see for yourself, Lionel.
01:13:20So just open the door.
01:13:21Why are these sheets on the floor?
01:13:25The sheets, the paint was coming off the ceiling.
01:13:29It was ghastly.
01:13:31I was going to do a bit of decorating or so on.
01:13:33You really do need to look inside the cupboard there, just on the left.
01:13:37And I'm going to do a bit of laundry, so just on the right there.
01:13:46What do you do?
01:13:47What do you do?
01:13:49I know.
01:13:49I know.
01:13:49I know.
01:13:50Frank?
01:14:20Frank?
01:14:30Frank?
01:14:50Hello, Marianne.
01:15:14Yeah.
01:15:24Where's Frank?
01:15:28Frank?
01:15:32Yes.
01:15:35Frank.
01:15:39Where is he?
01:15:42Frank?
01:15:44The lying, cheating criminal.
01:15:49He's in the dining room.
01:15:55He's dead.
01:15:56He's dead.
01:15:57He's dead.
01:15:58Then he's dead.
01:16:00What is his name?
01:16:02Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:16:32Oh, oh, oh.
01:17:02Oh, oh, oh.
