00:03:57Oh, Bruce.

00:03:59It's wonderful.

00:04:01It's our first house, your first practice.

00:04:05Well...

00:04:08It's a bit dusty.

00:04:09I don't care.

00:04:10It says things to me.

00:04:11The house, the village, everything.

00:04:12You were so clever finding it.

00:04:21I love you.

00:04:26I love you.

00:04:27I know you're going to be a success here.

00:04:29Hey, steady on.

00:04:31Well, you know I'm here so I get Dr. Sharp's name played down and mine up.

00:04:34Nonsense.

00:04:35If an English village is anything like a small American town,

00:04:38they already know your shoe size by now.

00:04:42Well...

00:04:43What's in there?

00:04:44Ah, well, um...

00:04:49This is the surgery.

00:04:57And this is the waiting room.

00:05:04I can't wait to see you sitting there with your stethoscope on looking like Richard Chamberlain.

00:05:10Let's find the sitting room.

00:05:12This way.

00:05:13Follow me.

00:05:14Oh, I'm sorry, darling.

00:05:35It's perfect, isn't it?

00:05:37Well, it's a bit tatty.

00:05:39There's a big one upstairs.

00:05:40Oh, you're as excited as I am.

00:05:42I can tell by your mouth.

00:05:43Admit it.

00:05:44Oh, it's a nice feeling, yes.

00:05:46I'm a town boy who's always wanted to be a country doctor.

00:05:49And this is about as far away from the rat race as you can get.

00:05:53To be on my own, Tessa.

00:05:55To feel completely responsible at last after all those hospitals.

00:05:59I wish I'd known you then.

00:06:00I bet you looked so sexy as an overworked hollow-eyed intern.

00:06:06My foot.

00:06:07Oh, I'm sorry, darling.

00:06:10There we are.

00:06:11All right?

00:06:17Doctor?

00:06:18Hmm?

00:06:19Would you look at my leg?

00:06:21Oh, with pleasure.

00:06:23No, the other leg.

00:06:24No, I'm sorry, Mrs. Nelson.

00:06:26Not professional etiquette.

00:06:28Hmm?

00:06:28Doctor not allowed to treat his own family.

00:06:31Hmm.

00:06:32Are you happy?

00:06:34Well, I wish it wasn't dead man's shoes and dead man's furniture.

00:06:40Yes, I'm happy.

00:06:42You?

00:06:43Hmm.

00:06:44Ha!

00:06:45No, but seriously, I mean, sweet Connecticut fashion writer, over here on a visit, minding

00:06:50her own business, and suddenly she's snatched away by a penniless doctor and buried in the

00:06:54heart of the English countryside.

00:06:55I love the English countryside, and don't worry about this house.

00:06:59I have plans.

00:07:00Hmm.

00:07:00Take this room, for instance.

00:07:02I see Adam Green watered silk on the walls.

00:07:05My Lord's Justice.

00:07:06Oh, my dears.

00:07:08Oh, I'm so sorry.

00:07:10Whatever will you think of me, I don't know what to say.

00:07:14I'm Doctor Nelson, and this is my wife, Tessa.

00:07:17Oh, I know that, love you.

00:07:18Who else would you be?

00:07:21I'm best telling, ma'am.

00:07:23I was old Doctor Sharpe's housekeeper.

00:07:26You don't have to keep me on, but your husband did sign his letter.

00:07:30No, we'd be delighted to keep you on.

00:07:32In fact, I don't know what we'd do without you.

00:07:35I'm pleased to meet you, I'm sure.

00:07:37I'm sorry the house is in...

00:07:49My wife broke a bone in her foot on honeymoon.

00:07:52Skiing.

00:07:53That's why we're here a week early.

00:07:57Well, I'm sorry if we've inconvenienced you.

00:07:59I'm the one that's shamed that you should come and find us like this.

00:08:04You and your moon pale, moon gold lady.

00:08:12Whatever sort of housekeeper will you think I am?

00:08:15Now you just sit yourselves down and I'll go and make a nice cup of tea.

00:08:18Oh, Bess, I was just going down to the store and...

00:08:21Oh, sorry.

00:08:23There you are.

00:08:24Caught me out again, you have.

00:08:27This is my niece, Jill, from London.

00:08:29Hello.

00:08:30Hello.

00:08:31You weren't expected, so Jill's been sleeping in the spare bedroom.

00:08:34But she's going tomorrow.

00:08:36But I could go straight away.

00:08:37I've only got a suitcase.

00:08:38No, no, no.

00:08:39We wouldn't dream of it, would we, darling?

00:08:40No, no, you can stay as long as you like.

00:08:43It wouldn't be any longer than tomorrow.

00:08:44Tomorrow being full moon and all, and the day after being lady day.

00:08:50You're very kind.

00:08:51Well, we'd better be running along.

00:08:53You'll be wanting to look over the rest of the house and I'll get you that nice cup of tea.

00:08:57Thank you, Bess.

00:08:58Come along, Jill.

00:09:01See you later.

00:09:08Not while I'm around, she won't.

00:09:12Let's go and look at the bedroom.

00:09:16Dr. Nelson.

00:25:59can't tell you what it means to us.

00:26:00We're that grateful.

00:26:08I dare say the little people would like you to wear the flowers in your hair.

00:26:12Oh fine sight I'd look first thing in the morning.

00:26:16Oh my lady.

00:26:17I hope we haven't offended you.

00:26:22No.

00:26:23Of course not.

00:26:46I think this would look pretty in the bird bath in the garden.

00:26:48Oh I shouldn't bother to take it outside now that you brought it in.

00:26:51You know how it is.

00:26:56Oh.

00:26:57Morning.

00:26:58Good morning.

00:26:59Morning Jill.

00:27:02Breakfast will be five minutes.

00:27:04Oh just coffee for me thanks.

00:27:07Oh I would be glad to get back to town tomorrow.

00:27:11That music kept me awake again.

00:27:14Music?

00:27:16Hmm.

00:27:17Didn't you hear it?

00:27:19Sounds as though it's way off down in the woods somewhere.

00:27:22Like pipes or a flute or something.

00:27:27Music in the woods?

00:27:29I don't know perhaps there's a midnight orchestra in the village.

00:27:32Oh I know what I was gonna ask you.

00:27:35What do you suppose this is?

00:27:38Garlic.

00:27:40What?

00:27:41Garlic.

00:27:43You know the stuff doctors aren't supposed to eat before kissing their wives.

00:27:47Or treating their patients.

00:27:49Yes but what's it doing in here?

00:27:51I don't know perhaps Dr. Sharp was a secret cook.

00:27:54Hmm.

00:27:56There now look.

00:27:57Don't let me ever hear you say you have nothing to write with.

00:28:03Oh.

00:28:04Oh.

00:28:06Bruce.

00:28:07Hmm?

00:28:08Look.

00:28:09What's this?

00:28:11Hmm.

00:28:14Looks like an old surgical instruments case.

00:28:15Hey this could be a bit of luck.

00:28:17Still a few I haven't got.

00:28:27Don't say I'm supposed to double as Vicar as well.

00:28:30He seems to have been an odd sort of man.

00:28:32Hmm.

00:28:33Well my patients will be thinking I'm an odd sort of man if I don't get the surgery open.

00:28:44Oh God they've arrived.

00:28:45Look, I just...

00:28:46Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:28:50Oh, good morning Doctor.

00:28:56Dr. Dr. Morning.

00:28:56Good morning, m'lady.

00:29:02Good morning.

00:29:04Good morning.

00:29:08Morning.

00:29:35This is for me from us and ours to you and yours a bit of each

00:29:41of us. I don't know what to say. Thank you. Here, let me take it off while you do it.

00:30:04But isn't there anything I could get them? Something they might like?

00:30:08Oh, no, my dear. It's not our place to be looking to you for thanks.

00:30:14Yes, but where I come from it's customary to exchange tokens with new neighbours.

00:30:20And you've given me so much. Oh, no.

00:30:25Well, thank you.

00:30:44Bart, you've got a promise. Now, you keep out of it. You've got nothing to do with it.

00:30:49You've never had anything to do with it. Look at you.

00:30:56Hello, Jill, my dear. You're a sight for sore eyes.

00:31:07Well, you're sound as a bell elsewhere. So, the pain isn't referred from another location.

00:31:13What's that, Doctor? Oh, nothing. I'm sorry.

00:31:17Now, let's try the shoulder again. Now, just push against me.

00:31:24There again? Oh, sorry.

00:31:27Right. Put your shirt back on again.

00:31:39You're a gamekeeper. That's right, Doctor.

00:31:45Do any shooting?

00:31:47A fair bit.

00:31:49From which shoulder?

00:31:50The right.

00:31:56I see. Occupational hazard, I'm afraid.

00:31:59Give any joint that sort of pounding, you're bound to get a bit of arthritis.

00:32:02Otherwise, you're disgustingly fit, like all the others in this village.

00:32:06Now, what did Dr Sharp give you about it?

00:32:09I didn't tell him.

00:32:13Why not?

00:32:15I wasn't minded to.

00:32:18Didn't you trust him?

00:32:21Trust him?

00:32:24I just didn't like him.

00:32:26Why?

00:32:31Nobody did much.

00:32:33He was too nosy, be half.

00:32:35Always in everybody's business.

00:32:37Well, it's very difficult for a doctor not to be, you know.

00:32:40There are ways and ways.

00:32:42And what was wrong with his ways?

00:32:45He was just too nosy, be half.

00:32:51Yes, well, um...

00:32:54Get these made up.

00:32:57Take them with food.

00:32:59If you find that upset your stomach.

00:33:02Stop them at once.

00:33:04And let me know.

00:33:06Otherwise, come back and see me in a fortnight.

00:33:10I'll be all right long before it happens.

00:33:14Thank you, doctor.

00:33:16My best respects to you.

00:33:22And your lady.

00:33:35Have you never been able to talk?

00:33:41But you do understand.

00:33:50Nick.

00:33:51Why is everyone so nice to me?

00:34:00Oh, thank you.

00:34:13What sort of man was Dr. Sharp?

00:34:23Okay.

00:34:43We need a bed.

00:34:49Was he on his own when he fell down those stairs?

00:34:57Nick?

00:35:00Why did Dr. Sharp keep garlic in his surgery?

00:35:08Nick?

00:35:13Nick, Nick, why did Dr. Sharp keep a crucifix?

00:35:39Nick?

00:35:43Nick?

00:35:45Nick?

00:35:46Nick?

00:35:47Nick?

00:35:50Nick?

00:35:54Nick?

00:35:57Nick?

00:35:59Nick?

00:36:00Nick?

00:36:02Nick?

00:36:03Nick?

00:36:07Nick?

00:36:08Nick?

00:36:14Let's go.

00:36:40Let's go.

00:37:10Let's go.

00:37:13Bruce!

00:37:15Bruce!

00:37:20Bruce, please look what I can't.

00:37:21Later Tessa, later.

00:37:23That'll be old granddad Benjamin's.

00:37:25He makes them for the kids.

00:37:27What was he doing in my stove?

00:37:29Later darling.

00:37:30We'll talk about it later all right?

00:37:37So anyway,

00:37:38like you said, I went up the ladder

00:37:40and got half way up.

00:37:41I'm sorry.

00:37:44I'm sorry.

00:37:48I'm sorry.

00:37:51I'm sorry.

00:38:06I'm sorry.

00:38:09I'm sorry.

00:38:15I can't.

00:38:16I can't.

00:38:31Bruce, you tired, darling?

00:38:33Mm.

00:38:36It's a different sort of tiredness there than the hospital.

00:38:39I somehow feel these people are mine.

00:38:42It makes a difference.

00:38:43You suddenly realize all that science you were taught.

00:38:46It's all good common sense, really.

00:38:49Bruce.

00:38:53Bruce.

00:38:57What did Dr. Sharp actually die of?

00:39:02Well, when he fell down the stairs, he broke his neck.

00:39:08Oh, come on, darling.

00:39:09Don't say you're still worrying about that doll.

00:39:18I told you common sense.

00:39:20He was probably left lying around by some village child.

00:39:23Sharp got irritated and threw it in the stove.

00:39:33Oh, come on, darling.

00:39:35Settle down.

00:39:36I've got another busy day tomorrow.

00:39:38All right?

00:39:48Good night, darling.

00:39:50Good night.

00:40:04What sort of party is it, Aunt Bess?

00:40:06It's an honor of Lady Day.

00:40:08It's a great compliment that you've been invited.

00:40:10It's a great compliment that you've been invited.

00:40:13It's a great compliment that you've been invited.

00:40:14It's a great compliment that you've been invited.

00:40:15It's a great compliment that you've been invited.

00:40:25It's a great compliment that you've been invited.

00:40:29It's a great compliment that you've been invited.

00:40:31It's a great compliment that you've been invited.

00:40:32It's a great compliment that you've been invited.

00:40:33It's a great compliment that you've been invited.

00:40:35It's a great compliment that you've been invited.

00:40:37It's a great compliment that you've been invited.

00:40:38It's a great compliment that you've been invited.

00:40:40Amen.

00:41:34John, for God's sake, send help soon yours, Oliver.

00:41:53Have the doctor and his wife been invited?

00:41:55Shh!

00:41:56He's dog tired.

00:41:57He's got to get his rest.

00:42:00Oh, come on, Jill.

00:42:11Dear John, I can't understand why you don't answer.

00:42:17My position is desperate.

00:42:20I can't talk over the phone.

00:42:23Please write or come soon.

00:42:25Yours, Oliver.

00:42:31Bruce.

00:42:32Bruce, wake up.

00:42:33Bruce, please wake up.

00:42:34Jesse, what's the matter?

00:42:35Bruce.

00:42:36Look at these.

00:42:39What are they?

00:42:42These are Dr. Sharp's letters.

00:42:43What are you doing with them?

00:42:45Jesse, you had no right to open them.

00:42:47Bruce, the man was desperate.

00:42:49He was worried out of his mind.

00:42:50It's none of your business.

00:42:51He's dead.

00:42:52Yes, but I want to know what he was worried about.

00:42:54It's his health, his investments, some imaginary disaster.

00:42:57How should I know?

00:42:58It's morbid to read a dead man's letters.

00:43:00It's also illegal.

00:43:21Tessa, darling, please, get you to bed and go to sleep.

00:43:27All right?

00:43:33Oh, Belle.

00:43:35Leave it alone, too.

00:43:36I never knew such a flora fuzzball.

00:43:38Now stand still.

00:43:40It's got to be just so.

00:43:42You know Belle.

00:43:43She'll give you no peace if she's satisfied.

00:43:45And as for you, Jobe Fairfax, I don't know who tied your tie,

00:43:48but he looks like a turkey with his neck stretched.

00:43:57Look, if you won't join in, you just keep out of the way.

00:44:01Uh, are we all ready?

00:44:03Yes.

00:44:04All we need now is Bess.

00:44:07And Jill?

00:44:08We'll go.

00:44:20Here we go.

00:44:22Uh.

00:46:50Yes, I'll get him in just a minute.

00:46:56Hello, Dr Nelson. Sergeant Braithwaite here, sir.

00:46:59What?

00:46:59We've had a report for a poacher of a dead body...

00:47:02Well, yes, but I'm not...

00:47:03No, we don't have an official police surgeon in this area, sir.

00:47:06Oh, yes, all right. I'll send a car for you, sir.

00:47:08OK. Pick me up in five minutes.

00:47:10Thank you, sir.

00:47:12Oh, damn.

00:47:13It seems that by tradition I'm also a local police surgeon.

00:47:18Something about a poacher finding a body in the woods.

00:47:22Probably some old vagrant.

00:47:23Died of exposure.

00:47:26These things always happen in the middle of the night.

00:47:29Why couldn't they have found him in the morning?

00:47:39Darling, you won't be too long, are you?

00:47:42No, I won't be.

00:47:50You're not bothered, are you?

00:47:52About being left here on your own?

00:47:54No.

00:55:56Get out of my house!

00:55:57Get out of my house!

00:55:58Get out!

00:55:59She's nervous, poor lamb.

00:56:01It's only to be expected.

00:56:03After all, she is the lady.

00:56:05Lob, the cordial.

00:56:08No!

00:56:09No!

00:56:10No!

00:56:33Oh, Bart, no, I won't let you do it.

00:56:35I should have stopped you using...

00:56:37Leave it alone!

00:56:39There's no place of yours to lay hands on them.

00:56:47You should have stopped me.

00:56:48It's only because you're my wife that you're still here at all.

00:56:54Don't get up, woman!

00:56:55Get up!

00:56:56She's coming here soon.

00:56:58Got no wish for her to come here, see you snippet.

00:57:00Huskens!

00:57:01Fuck!

00:57:17I love you!

00:57:41I thought we'd come to an outpost of sanity. I've never seen anything like it.

00:57:46I have. A year ago she was a blonde too. We never found anyone.

00:57:54The same thing? Exactly the same. The hair?

00:58:03Here you are milady. I've been working on this dress longer than I can remember.

00:58:10And my mother before me. This is the proudest moment in my life.

00:58:34I've been working on this dress longer than I can remember.

00:58:35And I'm not going to be working on this dress longer than I can remember.

00:58:37But I can't remember. I can't remember.

00:58:39I can't remember. I can't remember.

00:58:55Tessa?

00:59:14Tessa?

00:59:26Tessa?

01:00:08Tessa?

01:00:10Tessa?

01:00:14Tessa?

01:00:23Tessa?

01:00:24Tessa?

01:00:25You'll see something!

01:00:26You're MID

01:00:43There you are, my lady.

01:00:53Oh, my God.

01:00:56Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

01:01:05Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

01:01:11Ah, ah, ah, ah.

01:01:14Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

01:01:15Now, just a minute, boys, Jane.

01:01:17Jane.

01:01:19Has anybody seen my wife?

01:01:20OK.

01:01:21She was here.

01:01:22She was here.

01:01:24Love!

01:01:26Come here.

01:01:27You'll have to take charge.

01:01:28You're as high in the mystery as I am.

01:01:30Now you carry it through.

01:01:31We shall have to carry it through now.

01:01:33Our great danger will come to all of us.

01:01:36I now have clear evidence of a tradition of devil worship in the village going back centuries.

01:01:40I've been aware each year of a growing excitement in the village leading up to Lady Day.

01:01:45I now know the reason.

01:01:47Please don't think I'm mad.

01:01:49An ancient prophecy has foretold that one day, in a year when Lady Day coincides with

01:01:55the full moon, a bride of Satan will arrive in the village.

01:01:59She will be the final mark of approval from the powers of darkness.

01:02:04And they will know her by her appearance.

01:02:09She will be moon pale, moon gold.

01:02:13And she will limp with her left foot, as so many of my patients do.

01:02:19Although I can never discover from them why.

01:02:22She will marry and mate with Satan on Lady Day.

01:02:26How this would be achieved, I cannot imagine.

01:02:29And will then accept death at his hands, and return for eternal satanic power for the village.

01:02:36All this is apparent nonsense, I agree.

01:02:40This bride of Satan will simply never arrive.

01:02:45But what worries me is a requirement of the prophecy that in those years when Lady Day coincides with the

01:02:52full moon,

01:02:52A young fair girl must be sacrificed, whether the bride of Satan arrives or not.

01:03:01If the lady of Satan has arrived, the girl will be regarded as a bridesmaid going before her.

01:03:08Her blood being used to revitalize the village.

01:03:13Jill.

01:03:14Lady Day coincides with the full moon this year.

01:03:18I fear the villagers have somehow guessed my knowledge.

01:03:21This morning I found a doll with a broken neck on the back doorstep.

01:03:26I've tried to destroy it, but it won't burn.

01:03:29Where?

01:03:31Where?

01:03:33Where?

01:03:36Where?

01:03:46Doctor, you alright?

01:03:49Where is she?

01:03:59Come on! Come on! Come on!

01:04:17I'm gonna sacrifice her!

01:04:19Where? Where?

01:04:20This door!

01:04:34She's not the one!

01:04:36We have betrayed the world!

01:04:38She's an impostor!

01:04:41She knows our mystery.

01:04:43She can't be allowed to live.

01:04:45She must die in the old way.

01:04:51You come over here.

01:04:58No, Barb!

01:05:05No!

01:05:08No!

01:05:14No!

01:05:16No!

01:05:19No!

01:05:22No!

01:05:24No!

01:05:27No!

01:05:31No!

01:05:32Oh, oh, oh, oh.

01:05:44Oh, oh, oh.

01:05:47Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

01:06:01Ah!
