00:27I don't know what you're saying

00:56Come on, Franny, make with the directions.

01:01It's second on the left.

01:02What's the matter?

01:03Having second course?

01:05No.

01:07It wants to be raised the dead.

01:10That's the whole object of the exercise, John.

01:18It's the next alleyway on the corner on the right.

01:41Come on, get out of the way.

01:42Get out of the way, get out of the way.

01:44That's right, get your act together.

01:46Why are we waiting, why are we waiting, why are we waiting, why are we waiting?

01:57Nice one.

01:58And it turns the fry up, Franny.

02:00So where is it, Franny?

02:03This door?

02:04To the netherworld.

02:05Oh!

02:07Over there in the corner.

02:09We'll have to move the table.

02:11We need pieces of paper for the letters.

02:13Come on, come on, you bugger.

02:20All hope abandon ye who enter here.

02:25You got shut down there as a kid.

02:27It was only for a few minutes.

02:29It felt like a lifetime.

02:32No wonder you thought you saw a ghost.

02:33I've written out the letters, Franny.

02:37You're not scared, are you?

02:39Of course not.

02:40For God's sake, what self-respecting spirit would want to be seen with a bunch like us?

02:44Oh, shit.

02:49Come on, Franny.

02:59Maybe it'll give us our finals results.

03:02Nothing as bad as that.

03:04Do they anyway?

03:05They're probably already in the bucket.

03:07Someone's trying to get through.

03:14We're right over the central line.

03:18Well done, Susie.

03:19You've summoned up a tube train.

03:21Now try for a cross-channel thing.

03:25Six to summon and one to control.

03:31Come on, Franny.

03:47No.

03:48We have a Frenchman here.

03:50Shhh.

04:10Non omnis moria.

04:14Who can remember their Latin?

04:16It's a line from Horace.

04:19It means I shall not altogether die.

04:25Wait, there's more.

04:32Huh?

04:33What is it?

04:34What's she saying?

04:40Prophecy.

04:42It wants to prophesy.

04:46Hmm?

04:51Hmm.

04:54Hmm.

04:56Hmm.

05:00Hmm.

05:02Hmm.

05:03What do you remember?

05:06Hmm.

05:10Hmm.

05:11Hmm.

05:26Francesca, people want to order.

05:29Yes.

05:45What would you like?

05:48We've got orange, freshly squeezed orange, Fanta, Coke, lemonade, milkshakes, milkshake.

05:58We've got vanilla, raspberry, lime, chocolate, chocolate.

06:04And you'd like...

06:17Espresso.

06:38No!

06:41No!

06:44No!

06:45No!

07:39Good night, Mrs.

07:40Good night.

07:41Mrs. Monsanto, how possibly mommy started your own here?

07:44Good night, Declan.

07:46Come off it.

07:46I'm only offering a helping hand.

07:48That's what worries me.

07:50Listen, I know you archaeologists are far too high-minded to fraternise with us mere

07:54librarians.

07:55It's rubbish.

07:56Well, slow down then.

08:04Whoever he is, he can wait.

08:05If you wanted a date, you didn't have to go and join an orchestra.

08:08I'm just doing a favour for a friend.

08:12God, I don't know why I have to explain myself to you.

08:14You're worse than my father.

08:16Well, I'll take that as an invitation to meet the folks.

08:18Must be love after all.

08:20Will you?

08:25Max?

08:27Max?

08:28Max?

08:29Max?

08:38Max?

08:40Max?

08:41Max?

08:52Max?

08:54Max?

08:56Max?

08:58Max?

09:09Max?

09:14Max?

09:15Max?

09:18Max?

09:20Max?

09:21Max?

09:23Max?

09:24Max?

09:25Max?

09:25I should carry this.

09:30I've been to the zoo today.

09:32Did you like it?

09:33I've got to ride on a camel.

09:35Did you know a camel could kill you?

09:45Where would you like to sit?

09:46Oh, no, this isn't our train.

09:48Oh, we're on the other one.

09:50Ladies and gentlemen, this train will show a little bit about in for York.

09:54Any customers not wishing to go...

09:55Maybe just in time.

09:56Please leave me in the train now.

09:57Thank you very much.

09:58Pleasure.

10:22Why didn't you ask his name?

10:24What's the point?

10:25He's probably married, anyway.

10:28Well, his wife might have dropped dead.

10:30You never look on the bright side, Franny.

10:32If you see him again, you go for it.

10:36Clemmie, stop that.

10:40Now.

10:44I saw Max Gabriel today, what's wrong with him?

10:49You've not heard.

10:51He's got leukemia.

11:02Here we are.

11:04Here we are.

11:04Balding, 50.

11:06Not fat if stomach held in.

11:09Nice bottom, washes quite regularly.

11:13Oh, yuck.

11:15Female seeks to delight in Midlands.

11:19Bit out of your area, that.

11:21Bit out of your area, that.

11:22Distressed student urgently needs funds.

11:25Girl with cello.

11:27Are you the girl seen struggling down the platform of Kings Cross Station carrying a cello on Thursday?

11:34Good luck, please.

11:36Good luck.

11:40May I?

11:42Sure.

11:43Thanks.

11:57What an advertisement.

11:59I didn't get a chance to talk to him.

12:01He was getting another train.

12:04But he definitely wasn't a weirdo, I could tell.

12:07Just don't tell your father that I knew anything about him.

12:10He has enough on his plate.

12:12He's in this place and everything.

12:14Oh, she didn't take it so hard.

12:16Father's fault.

12:17He is so good.

12:19He is determined to show your father that he can build the business just as well in the

12:23new place.

12:24But I wish he did not insist on taking every last thing in this place with us.

12:29When they told us our lease was up, I thought it meant we could lease all new.

12:33But, no.

12:34Now, is there anything in the cellar, Luigi?

12:36No.

12:37It's about better to check.

12:45Yes, I like to stay somewhere.

12:51Yes, I like to stay somewhere.

13:28Hello?

13:30Hi.

13:30How was the concert?

13:33Oh, um, I don't play.

13:36I was just carrying it for a friend.

13:38Look, I, um, I kept thinking about you.

13:41I hope you don't mind.

13:43Um, I'm amazed I saw the ad.

13:46It was Edward's idea.

13:51Um, before we say anything else, I was wondering.

13:58I'm not, um, I'm not attached to anyone.

14:02Oh.

14:11Go on, tell me more.

14:13There's nothing needed.

14:14Please, please, please.

14:16We've talked about nothing but me all evening.

14:18That's because you're an incredible, wonderful, beautiful woman.

14:22Stop it.

14:26Let's change the subject.

14:27I don't know anything about you.

14:29Well, uh, my name is Oliver Hawkin, and I'm a fortune teller.

14:36What?

14:37No, I just tried to make it sound more interesting than it actually is.

14:40No, I'm a statistician.

14:42I try and predict the risk level for the insurance business.

14:46No, not with a crystal ball, just a boring old calculator.

14:50Don't believe a word of it, darling.

14:54Seb!

14:55Well, look at you.

14:58Oh.

14:59I hardly recognised you with your clothes on.

15:02Who's this?

15:04This is Oliver, a friend of mine.

15:08Still with the relics?

15:10Yeah.

15:11No kids or weddings?

15:13No.

15:14Not yet.

15:16Did you hear about Max?

15:18Yeah.

15:19Max and Jonathan in the same month.

15:22I couldn't get to the funeral, but I did send some flowers.

15:25But Max hasn't?

15:26No, Jonathan's.

15:29Oh.

15:31Didn't you know?

15:34God, I'm sorry.

15:37He was in Washington.

15:38He got mugged and they shot him.

15:42Out on an apex and back in a box.

15:45That's awful.

15:46Jonathan!

15:47Seb!

15:49I've got to go.

15:50I wish I could chat for longer.

15:55Let's keep in touch, Franny.

15:59Life is too short.

16:20I've called a taxi for you.

16:22I'm sorry.

16:23It was all going so well.

16:25It doesn't have to end here.

16:27If I'd invited you down to spend the weekend with us,

16:32would you have said yes?

16:34Ask me.

16:38Do you want to wait us?

16:40Do you want to wait?

17:02I don't.

17:04I don't want to meet you.

17:04I, I don't know.

17:06I don't need anybody.

17:07You're fine.

17:07I don't need anybody.

17:08I'm sorry.

17:08...for this day.

17:25It's...

17:26...real.

17:32...to be animal.

17:38Honey, mommy.

17:40Aren't you dead?

17:42...to be.

17:46What a nice day.

17:49What a fun is.

17:54Alfred!

17:55Yeah.

18:05Number 26, ready?

18:25I'm-

18:27You're right.

18:27No.

18:29No.

18:44No!

18:45No.

18:46No.

18:47Nooo!

18:48No.

18:49No...

18:53No.

18:54I could kill you.

18:56Why?

18:57You live here.

18:58Well, mostly in this part.

19:00I have to open the rest of the public just to keep it going.

19:03It's about time.

19:05I've been waiting ages.

19:06Mrs. Beakbane says could you call at the state office when you get back?

19:09Did she say what about?

19:10Lord of the man and stuff.

19:12Right, I'd better get up there.

19:14Half an hour, I promise.

19:17I'm sure Edward can look after me.

19:41Do you like it here?

19:43Yes, I do.

19:44Good.

19:45I had to twist Daddy's arm to make him see you again.

19:48What do you mean?

19:49I thought you were nice.

19:50But he's very shy.

19:52So what did you do?

19:54I told him to put the advertisement in.

19:56He didn't think it would work.

19:58Do you know what that's called?

20:00It's lavender.

20:01Nanoracta purpurea.

20:03That's auriculatum.

20:08You study Latin.

20:09I like the sound of the words.

20:11This is the chapel.

20:13What religion are you?

20:15I'm a Catholic.

20:16Really?

20:17All my family are.

20:18I expect you can still come in.

20:21That's our family motto over the door.

20:25Oh, Miss Moria.

20:27It means I shall not altogether die.

20:42Every Marquis of Sherfield's buried here.

20:45Except for one.

20:46Your dad.

20:47He's not dead yet.

20:49I mean, the second Marquis.

20:50Nobody knows where he is.

20:52Shock everyone, then disappear forever.

20:55It's the kind of life to have.

21:02Here's my mother.

21:04Are you planning to sleep with my daddy?

21:32I mean, the third Marquis.

21:36Marquess. Oh, right. So what's Edward been telling you then? Why? Well, you see, the

21:44second Marquess was the black sheep to end all black sheep. He was a Satanist, a

21:49sadist, and a pedophile. And those were his good points. So which one's he? Oh, no,

21:55there's no portrait. No, no. They burned them all when he was murdered. That's the

22:01reason the whole family had to move out of London. What did Edward actually say?

22:07There's no need to worry, Oliver. We were just talking. He showed me the chapel. I

22:13sometimes think he has an unhealthy fascination for the gory detail. That's

22:18what children are like. Weren't you? Yeah, I suppose so. I probably worry too much.

22:26Maybe I'm the one who needs a shrink. It's all right. It's just something that

22:30happened after his mother died. Edward had a behavioural problem. I'm assured it's

22:36all part of the grieving process. Let's talk about you. I'm really very ordinary.

22:49Really?

22:51Really?

23:26Come on?

23:31Really?

23:32Awf.

23:34Damn.

23:39Amp.

23:40Awf.

23:41Awf.

23:43remotely long,

23:45Awf!

23:46No, no, no, no, no, no.

24:23I saw somebody die when I was in France.

24:26It was a girl, swimming.

24:29The motorboat went right over her.

24:31Did it upset you?

24:32I didn't really know her.

24:34Then I saw my friend Dominic get three of his fingers cut off.

24:37He trapped them in the car door and they couldn't get his open.

24:39You're making my toes curl.

24:41No, it's true. I was there.

24:42I didn't say you weren't.

24:48I'm always seeing bad things happening to people.

24:51Sometimes I dream it, but then I find out that it's actually happened.

24:55Isn't that spooky?

24:57Imagination's a powerful thing.

24:59Oh, I don't imagine it. I keep records.

25:09Edward, is this something that started when your mum died?

25:13These are the plum trees.

25:16The Victories are the best.

25:19They edible.

25:23Right, Ponsar.

25:26Have any of your friends died?

25:29Yes.

25:31But that was nothing to do with you.

25:34Don't worry, Edward. There's nothing wrong with you.

25:37But was it before you met me or after?

25:41Ow!

25:43Ow!

25:44Oh, there's a wasp in it.

25:46Ow!

25:47You know, it doesn't look as bad as it probably feels.

25:50I hope not.

25:52I'll call the doctor.

25:54You're not allergic or anything, are you?

25:56Well, I'll call him anyway.

25:58Not the best way to end the weekend, is it?

26:00I hope it hasn't put you off.

26:02Oh.

26:03I'll be back in a minute.

26:28Max.

26:46Right, come on children, put your coats on.

26:49Your mummy's over here soon.

27:16I'll be back in a minute.

27:50I'll be back in a minute.

28:04I'll be back in a minute.

28:06Come on, I'll take all your coats on.

28:58Franny? Franny, it's me. It's Phoebe.

29:01I forgot to talk to you, Franny.

29:03What about?

29:04Oh, come on. And then there were three.

29:06Meredith dead. Jonathan dead. Max died.

29:10And Susie.

29:17What happened?

29:19The virus damaged her eyes.

29:21She's completely blind now.

29:24See? Three of us left.

29:28Out of what?

29:30Out of the people at the séance.

29:42I know all about the scrapbook, so don't worry about it.

29:47But he'd cut a piece out about someone I knew.

29:50If it's a bizarre death, he clips it.

29:53I've been through it all with the doctors.

29:55It's supposed to be his way of trying to make sense out of something senseless.

30:02You see, um, no child should ever have to see what he saw.

30:10He watched his mother die.

30:13Can you talk about it?

30:16Well, she was on her way to meet us, and, uh...

30:21And she was, um, killed crossing the road.

30:27It was all over in a second.

30:30Wasn't even sure if Edward had taken it all in.

30:33He was very young.

30:34I was alone.

31:04Not sure if Edward had taken it all in.

31:12Oh, my God.

31:45Oh, Edward.

31:48I thought you were at school.

31:50Oh, school's finished.

31:51My aunt brought me last night.

31:53Daddy's going to take me back to Meston.

31:55He's gone to get the papers.

31:56Did you hear us come in?

31:59You haven't got any underwear on.

32:02I know.

32:03Won't you get cold?

32:05I didn't expect you to be here.

32:51I wish you were coming back with us.

32:54I can't, Edward.

32:55There are things I have to do.

32:57I still wish you were coming.

32:59I can tell you things.

33:02I heard about your mother.

33:05I'm so sorry.

33:07It was a long time ago.

33:20I think I might have been there when it happened.

33:23I know.

33:24You were the waitress.

33:27Daddy hasn't remembered.

33:29I haven't told him.

33:31Why not?

33:32I don't want to upset him.

33:33It might scare him off you.

33:37And you wouldn't want that.

33:40I don't know how to explain it.

33:43I do have these bad thoughts about people sometimes.

33:46And then things...

33:48Things just happen.

33:56You've got to give me an honest answer, Edward.

34:01Some of these thoughts seem to be about people I know.

34:08Have you ever had them about me?

34:12I don't mean them.

34:15It's like...

34:18Like they come from someone else.

34:22Do you know who?

34:25Francis.

34:28Francis Hawking.

34:31The second Marquis.

34:34Non-Omnus Moria.

34:53The next Marquis.

34:54The next Marquis is a part of the police House.

35:00The next Marquis is a part of the police office.

35:08We are in No

35:25This is the only Hawkam I have on this site.

35:27I think there's some books and silverware up in Oxford.

35:30Most of the stuff has either stayed with the family or found its way into private hands.

35:34But this is the piece that belonged to the second Marquis.

35:37It's a maleficarum, an instruction manual for satanic rituals, date of around 1650.

35:45Family tradition held that it was written on human skin.

35:49Is that true?

35:50I don't know.

35:51The second Marquis was executed by Cromwell's soldiers in the cellar of his own home.

35:56The same room he used for satanic rituals and rogering young boys.

36:01They hot-collared him. Do you know what that means?

36:03Like Edward II.

36:05Thereby proving that the way to a man's heart truly is through his stomach.

36:09At least when you're using a poker.

36:12I should imagine he went down cursing.

36:15This book was discovered in, if you'll pardon the expression, the family seat.

36:19Hidden in one of the walls by the brother who'd inherited.

36:22Turned up when the house had to be demolished after the fire.

36:26But the house is still standing.

36:28No, not the country house. This was the townhouse. It stood in the city.

36:33Where in the city?

36:34Poulter's Alley.

36:38What?

36:52Phoebe.

36:55Oh, my God.

37:00I'm so sorry.

37:05Phoebe.

37:07Phoebe.

37:08Phoebe.

37:11Miss Hawkins won't be ready for visitors for a while yet.

37:15Are you her sister?

37:17No.

37:18But she's still coming around from the anaesthetic.

37:21Oh, Fanny.

37:22Fanny.

37:23Really, she's in no state.

37:25Fanny.

37:27Oh, Seb.

37:30Find Susie.

37:32Ask her about the prophecy.

37:36He's going to try and get us home.

37:42Please.

37:43If you'll just come with me.

37:49Right.

37:50Fine.

37:50See you.

38:02Car to the main doors, please, Gio.

38:04City airport in 20 minutes.

38:11Uh, um, Mr. Holland, please.

38:14Uh, um, Mr. Holland, please.

38:22Uh, um, Mr. Holland, please.

38:40I'll go up.

38:41Excuse me, miss.

38:42You need a pass.

38:43It's all right.

38:43He knows who I am.

38:53Hello, young man.

38:54What are you doing here?

38:56Mr. Holland!

39:03Oh!

39:10Oh!

39:14Oh!

39:34I don't want to do this. I don't know as much as you think.

39:38You knew enough to run the sale, Susie. You were in charge.

39:41And what was that? It was a glass and some cards. It was a game.

39:45You didn't think so at the time. And I don't believe you think so now.

39:51Six of us are dead or damaged. And I'm the next one in line.

39:57You said all our futures were in the message. If only you could work out how.

40:05Well, God almighty, you've got enough to go on now. What's supposed to happen to me?

40:11I don't know. I don't want to know. I'm scared, Franny.

40:19I remember I couldn't work it out. Nothing I could see in it made any sense except for mine.

40:27And you know what that was? Just one word. Dark.

40:32But it wasn't wrong, Susie. He was telling us what he was going to do to us.

40:38We're the ones who let him out. Edward's the source of his power and Hawkin's using him to get rid

40:46of all the witnesses.

40:47Then what?

40:49Then there'll be nothing to stop Francis Hawkin coming back into this world.

41:08What do you want to ask?

41:12I want my prophecy. I want to know what he has planned for me.

41:18Three.

41:19Three.

41:25Three.

41:32Six.

41:34Twenty-six.

41:35Does that mean anything?

41:39I am frightened, Franny. It's very close.

41:43It's all right.

41:46No!

41:48No!

41:49No!

41:53No!

41:55No!

41:57No!

41:59No!

42:00No!

42:02No!

42:03No!

42:05No!

42:16it's all right what happened it's not me franny not me it's you

42:37yes it's Francesca look Edward's gone missing I thought it might be him yeah

42:46they're here now um come over I can't we're all in danger Oliver Francis

43:01Hawkins been using Edward but he's been getting to him through me I'm the one

43:09who's possessed I am his way back into the world

43:23come on girl let's settle this

43:31I'm

43:32I'm

43:47I'm

45:09And seven children whom you know better, pulling it all into focus.

45:15I'm sorry.

45:17For everything.

45:19Don't judge yourself, Francesca.

45:22It's not for you to take the blame alone.

45:24What will we do?

45:28We're going to say a requiem mass for the soul of Frances Hawkins.

45:32At work?

45:34Just a few prayers.

45:35Yes.

45:39As compared to what?

45:41The power of seven drunks and a wine glass?

45:46I think we're in with a chance.

45:47I think we're in with a tube train.

45:55Central light.

46:08The consciousness of a young child is not fully developed until at least the age of seven.

46:14Here, the evil forces saw a child who was not only young, but was also a direct descendant of the

46:20second Marquis.

46:21By using you as a channel, it could slowly enter the mind of that child.

46:26Test the boy out without him realizing until he became used to it.

46:30Accepting him as a part of himself.

46:35Then what?

46:38Then there would come a point where he no longer had any need for you.

46:53You ready, Francesca?

47:12Protect us, O Lord.

47:13We beseech thee.

47:32Protect us, O Lord.

47:33We beseech thee.

47:42Hear us, O Lord.

47:44As we humbly beg your mercy, that the soul of your servant, Francis Edward Alwyn Hawkin, whom you have called

47:52from this life, may be brought by you to a place of peace and light.

48:03Receive, O Lord, the soul of your servant, Francis, for whom your blood was shed.

48:09Grant him eternal rest, and perpetual light shine upon him.

48:18O God, it is your nature to have mercy and to spare.

48:23Grant your servant, Francis, a place of rest.

48:27Let us wait.

48:38Help me.

48:43Take me.

48:45Take me.

48:46Go on.

48:47Take me.

48:49Take me.

48:57Father's Bird!

48:59He's in here with us!

49:03Father's Bird!

49:11Protect us, O Lord, we beseech thee.

49:15Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world.

49:19Have mercy on us.

49:21May this mingling of the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ

49:24bring eternal life to us who receive it.

49:30This is the blood of Christ.

49:32Grant that our brother Francis may take his seat with Christ

49:36at his eternal banquet, who lives and reigns forever and ever.

49:41Father?

49:44Edward?

49:45It's not only evil that can work its way through the lives of others.

50:12It's all right now. Isn't it, Franny?

50:15It's all right now. Isn't it, Franny?

50:16It's all right now. Isn't it, Franny?

50:31When's Edward coming home, Mummy?

50:34He'll be home at the end of term.

50:35Come. He'll play with you then.

50:38He won't. He never wants to.

50:41When Daddy dies, will Edward be a lord?

50:44When your dad dies, it won't be for a long time, Charles.

50:51Then Edward will inherit the title.

50:54What if Edward dies before that happens?

50:59Nothing's going to happen to Edward, Charles.

51:04Would I have to be Lord Sherfield, then?

51:08Charles, end of subject.

51:11What would the next lord have to be called?

51:16What do you mean?

51:18Say it would be me.

51:20What number would I be?

51:22Twenty-six.

51:24You'd be the twenty-sixth Marquess of Sherfield.
