Baby in the Basket, The (2025)

[bunniefuu]

It was a white wolf

with burning yellow eyes.

The wolf watched her from the mist.

She said it stared into her soul

and made her mind fill

with dark thoughts.

Screaming

Thou shall not be afraid

for the terror by night.

Every temptation, every guilty secret.

She told the mother superior

and hasn't spoken since.

Maybe a vow of silence, maybe a

fear of what may pass her lips.

By the third day, the presence

of the wolf had been felt

by several of the nuns.

Now, I'm a man of faith

and I'm also a believer

in my own two eyes.

I never thought I'd see a wolf.

And did you see a wolf?

I saw a sheep.

Must have had some kind of illness.

Its eyes were a sickly yellow.

This island's so remote.

How did a sheep get here?

Must have got loose from

one of the supply ships.

One thing's for certain; a wolf didn't.

And the nuns, they were

relieved when you told them.

Well, the idea was planted.

The deed was done.

Annalise hasn't been the same since.

Nor, Lucy

Lucy's the Kraut?

Yeah.

Unfortunately that's why she's here.

She was attacked in London.

Couple of outbound Tommy's

who heard her accent

One of the unfortunate

consequences of w*r lad

she suffers from the

actions of a bunch of politicians

As do we all I suppose

Something on your mind, boy?

No, it's just you mentioned the w*r.

Sometimes when I'm down at the shore,

late at night, I can hear bombing.

We must be close to the

Norwegian coast. You ever hear it?

Didn't think we were that close.

Mind you, my hearing's all

shot 'cause of the Boer w*r.

It's possible on clear nights, I suppose.

I heard a plane the other day.

I think it was a Dornier 217 or a 317

Kraut plane?

Aye

Your hearing's good lad.

You're wasted here.

So you're not thinking of

going back on the front line.

No, I did my part.

I had my fill of w*r about your age lad.

Got out early after

picking up the sickness

at the turn of the century.

Almost k*lled me.

Some of my friends

weren't so lucky either.

That wasn't the only sickness I picked up.

Jesus.

Sorry.

You better be careful.

You don't want to let

her, let the Mother Superior.

See you doing all that.

She'll accuse you of blasphemy

and she'll never forgive you.

Even if it is accidental.

No

Three fingers, lad.

That's your holy trinity.

Two fingers into the palm, then it's up.

Down, left. right.

If you're to be my replacement,

you need to keep her on side.

That's all I'm saying.

The Battle of Normandy

has reached its third week.

Mr. Churchill was quoted as

saying, I can state to the house

that this operation is

proceeding in a thoroughly

satisfactory manner.

That's all for the news headlines.

Our radio play for this evening is

The Witching Hour

Based on the stage play by Miroslav Petkov

And adapted from the

novel by Apeksha Nichrelay

Starring; John Milburn,

Joel Barnett, Andy Gatenby

Rudy Ledbetter, Caine Stewart

Toby Osmond, Robert John Corrigan,

Daryl Gerard Morrissey and Hillary Tory.

Valerie, you may say, grace,

Bless us, oh Lord, for these

thy gifts, which we are about

to receive from thy bounty

through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Amen. Amen.

How is your knee sister?

Better.

The grazes have healed.

Sisters, I do not wish to

discuss grazed knees at dinner.

Something amuses You Eleanor?

Well, she wouldn't have

grazed her knee if she hadn't

have run from a rancid sheep.

Don't mock me, sister.

I know what I saw. It was a wolf.

Tell them, Lucy, you saw it too.

There's no point asking her about a

wolf when a cat got a tongue.

- Sister Eleanor,

- Beware of false prophets that come

to you dressed as sheep, but

inwardly are ravenous wolves.

Nonsense

Enough.

Sister Eleanor, I suggest you eat your

bread back in your room.

You have a boat to catch tomorrow.

Get an early night so that

perhaps you'll be more

agreeable in the morning.

I want to go with Eleanor

tomorrow. I want to leave.

Good evening, sister.

I thought you might want to

talk or perhaps read over a passage?

You thought wrong.

God can help you sister,

but only if you let him

Drink?

Oh, no. Thank you. Only at dinner time.

I thought as much

Leave me alone.

I'm concerned about your

sister. I wish I could help.

I thought maybe if you don't wish to speak

to the reverend mother, then

perhaps a fellow sister.

Ah.

So it's your will to

bring me closer to God.

Tell me Sister Agnes

tell me of a time that you felt him

guide you to something positive.

Well, I know that he watches,

he keeps evil from my door

and he protects me from temptation.

All I hear is temptation.

All I see is damnation.

You know why?

Why?

God doesn't love you. None of us.

That's not true. He loves me and you.

We fulfill our duties and

spread his joy. I have

a special role to play.

Listen, you pious little b*tch.

I'm sick of hearing it all the time.

Did you believe Annalise about

the wolf?

She was mistaken.

Was she?

Yes.

Cause I saw it watching you as

you walked through the gardens.

Don't tease me.

Keep listening, Sister Agnes.

And wait.

You'll hear her voice soon

enough, but it won't be God's

Laughing

Sister.

Did you really see what I saw?

Come with me.

I have a feeling in the pit of my stomach.

There's a darkness

surrounding St. Augustine's.

One that wishes to infest us.

Will you come?

May God have mercy upon your soul.

What's wrong with Lucy?

Nothing

Yet.

Are you sure you wish to leave, Sister?

You have such respect here

and such high standing, second

only to the mother superior.

No one wishes to listen to my concerns.

- What concerns?

- I believe I've been given a warning, Valerie.

Something

terrible's going to happen, I-

I don't wish to be here when it does.

What will happen?

I don't know exactly

The weather forecast

warns of a storm coming

You could wait till it's passed.

I know. But we'll be

gone before it arrives.

Besides, perhaps the

storm itself is a warning.

Can you manage from here girls?

Sisters!

Sorry, sisters.

We could have managed

without you entirely.

Aye, well I do as I'm

told sister, unlike some

You should be taking a General's order.

Not a Reverend Mother's.

Safe journey sister.

I hope the waters aren't too choppy.

We'll be fine.

Are you sure you wish

to return here, sister?

Singing

You let them finish lad.

Show some respect.

You're to quietly leave the chapel,

you're to fix a cupboard in

Lucy and Valerie's room.

Then come back here

afterwards, alright?

Singing

Jesus Christ, I'm going to hell.

Sorry. Didn't mean to

startle you Frulein.

What are you doing in our room?

You needed a screw.

I beg your pardon.

The drawer, sorry.

Amos wishes you to finish

your work in the chapel.

He's fetching supplies

ahead of the storm tomorrow.

We expect power outages.

Good day Sisters.

Storms have spread across the

channel causing significant

damage along the southeastern

coast of England.

Government weather experts

have yet to comment on

how this will affect the

ongoing conflict in France.

More storms are expected

early this evening

and into the week ahead

with further disrupt and expected to act-

Enter

Well, what do you want?

I'm curious, mother.

About what?

Why does Sister Eleanor go

to the mainland so much?

I've not been at St. Augustine's long,

but it's already been three occasions.

Sister Eleanor has a difficult

relationship with the Lord

and his teachings.

She lost her faith.

I don't that she ever

found it. Why are you asking?

I just wanted to understand her better.

I thought maybe I could

help her see the light.

And what makes you think you

would be more effective than I

or even Valerie?

No, I I didn't mean to suggest. Sor-

Do you think she's beyond hope?

No one is beyond hope.

Morning

It's alright love, I won't bite.

Sorry, sister.

I'd like to pray. Please.

Fine. I'll leave you to it.

You have to help it. It's dying.

Screaming

Heavenly Father, I've been restless.

I wish to speak to you. I'm lost.

Your plan sent me to St. Augustine's,

but I don't know why.

Something, something here feels different.

What brings you out

here so late, young lady?

I'm sorry mother. I was restless.

I I just wanted to speak to God.

If you must stay up

late, do so in your room.

You know the most

remarkable thing about God.

He hears you wherever you may

be. Now return to your room.

Sorry. Mother.

What troubles you? Sister.

I worry about Sister Eleanor.

How so?

Do you get along well with her.

She's our sister.

We all live here together

in St. Augustine's.

We are to respect one another.

Abide by the word of God.

Getting on well is for school children.

Well, yes, but surely a

pleasant relationship is

better than a sour one.

I will be honest with you

as God would expect me to be.

Do not let Eleanor influence you.

She lacks faith

and does not respect our

Lord like you and I do.

Then why is she here?

Why does Mother Superior let her stay?

Much like God,

we do not question the

Reverend Mother's wisdom.

Of course.

Do you know why she visits

the mainland so often?

Her problems run deeper

than a crisis of faith.

Old sins and temptations

continue to trouble her.

As I say, do not let

her tongue poison you.

I do not believe she'll ever find God,

and I'm not sure she'll

survive without him.

The wind is picking up.

Valerie, if you could

please lead us in prayer.

Bless us oh Lord, for these

thy gifts, which we are about

to receive from thy bounty

through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Amen.

I had like a word with

you. Amos, follow me.

Have you secured the windows and doors?

Yes. Is that what you

wanted to see me about?

I'm concerned about your replacement.

Well, he's, he's still

working on the airs

and graces, but he's very

good with his hands.

Frankly, Amos, it's

his hands that worry me.

I don't follow.

I saw him roaming the convent

grounds late last night.

Well, maybe he was

just out for some air.

There's plenty of air

outside the caretaker's

cabin as you well know.

Now, as much as I expect my

sisters to abide by their curfew

and stick to the confines

of the convent after dark,

I'm aware some of them may wander,

Well, I well, I'm

sure you've got nothing

to concern you about.

Reverend Mother.

All my sisters are holy,

but some have lived lives

away from the church.

That is something I've come to terms with

young sister Agnes, however,

is quite angelic looking.

I should imagine quite

appealing to a young man.

She was out in a chapel last night.

Well, I'm quite sure Daniel

knows not to approach the,

the, the sisters while they're alone.

Are you that sure of his

character?

I'll be forthright Amos,

young men are all the

same to me, driven by lustful,

urges and irrationality.

Unfortunately for the

upkeep of these grounds,

Daniel is a necessary evil.

Well, rest assured I will

make sure he tows the line

Ensure that he does.

I do not wish this to become an unsafe

and uncomfortable environment

for my younger sisters.

Their purity is a virtue

and blessing, not a prize to be taken.

That'll be all.

What's going on?

Someone has

left a baby on the doorstep.

Who, where are they?

Gone

Let me see.

Do you think the mother came by boat?

In this weather? Impossible.

But how? Who brought the child?

Hmm.

A boy. I'd say a few weeks old.

Should we look for the

person who dropped the baby?

It's dark and stormy.

I know, but I worry for them.

What is happening?

You should be a sleep young lady.

I heard a child crying.

Yes. That's because there's one here.

I'll fetch milk and try to get

a signal on the wireless.

Valerie, I want you to

go and fetch Daniel.

Get him into search the vicinity.

What, what about the child?

Yes stay here and watch

over him. I'll be back soon.

Me, I...

You have a duty

to care for all those

who are require it Sister Agnes.

That includes infants. Valerie, follow me

Lord is this some kind of sign?

What should I do?

Please. I, I beg you

for some kind of answer.

Calm down little one.

You should go back

sister. It's dangerous.

You don't know the

island well enough yet

Devil! DEVIL! DEVIL!

What was that?

Shut up!

No we must k*ll it!

Stop it!

No let me go!

Calm down sister!

No let me go. NO he must not live!

Let me go, get off me, he's the devil!

Devil! No!

No you have to stop him, it's evil.

I'm telling you it's evil.

Why you not listening to me? Please stop.

You need to stop him. No! It's evil!

Let me out! Let me out! Please let me out!

God will judge you. He will judge you.

Hello little one, you little angel.

Oh, hello.

Yes.

Agnes has been shut away.

He likes you.

I've always wanted one.

What will you call him?

I beg your pardon

The boy.

He'll need a name, won't he?

Peter

Hmm.

Valerie.

Have Lucy fetch some towels

and fresh clothes for you

And Daniel?

Yes, of course. It shall

have to be his own overalls.

You watch yourself lad

just remember where you are.

I never knew I was

so repellent to women.

They're all taking a wide berth from me.

Yeah. Well do me a favor will you.

Keep yourself covered up

and have some respect

for the nuns alright.

Amos, hang on.

You left this at dinner.

Oh, thanks lad.

What is it?

It's gold.

I figured that. What's it for?

It's a reminder of the the w*r.

What I had, what I lost,

who I lost.

I've done things I ain't proud of.

It'd be wrong for me to try and forget it.

Have you seen to Agnes?

What do you think of all this Lucy?

Just speak will you. Enough is enough.

Lucy, we've all had enough of

you. Okay? You've just talk.

You've made your point. Come

back here and answer me.

- Lucy.

- Lucy, please.

You want to get me out

here. You can't leave me here.

Lucy! Lucy, you have

to do something please.

That baby is evil. Can you see it? Lucy?

Wait, wait, wait.

I saw you with Daniel yesterday, Lucy.

I saw what you did.

There is something dark within

you that you can't control.

Why do you stay silent

to try and appease God?

And you're still silent?

Because he doesn't answer

And he won't.

Just like, he won't answer me.

Because we have been given

a test of will, Lucy.

We have to stop the evil

before it takes us over

and spreads like a virus.

Lucy, Lucy repent and

heaven can be yours again Sister.

It's almost too late.

It is too late for me.

God has punished me.

Just like he did before.

Lucy, please. I've foreseen death here.

Death and suffering at St. Augustine's.

Just as Annalise must have too.

We're doomed! Lucy we're doomed!

I know.

No! No Lucy! Stop! Damn you!

I'm sorry.

Who's there?

Why are you here?

What have you done?

Sinner!

Screaming

Amos is preparing the coffin?

Aye, he's in the work shed.

It won't be too fancy.

We do our duty. We live

our life without frivolities

and death is no different.

Long as it keeps the worms out eh?

Sorry sister.

I have a bluntness.

At least that's

something God can forgive.

What are his limits?

I've no time to listen to you

and you have no time to

test my patience Daniel.

If you could please just clean

the blood from the chapel

floor so that we may use it again soon.

I worship you little one.

Greatness beckons I think.

Sorry to disturb you mother.

There you are.

Have you prepared Lucy for burial?

Yes. Amos is preparing the coffin

and Daniel is cleaning the chapel.

Something's on your mind. Sister.

It's about Lucy.

I have prayed for Lucy

as I'm sure you have.

Will God forgive her

for taking her own life?

The Bible says

I know very well what

the bible says young lady.

Pray for her.

It was an accident that befell Lucy,

- But she, she-

- Enough.

We shall have a christening later.

One light extinguishes just

as a new light ignites.

That is God's way.

Should we wait until we can

move Lucy out from the chapel?

No, we will leave her in

holding in one of the back rooms.

I'm sure her spirit

remains and will attend.

Check our supplies and

ensure there's been no

damage from the storm.

Another front is due tonight.

Eleanor!

Finally,

What are you doing here?

I sheltered from the

storm; someone locked me in.

How much have you drunk?

Okay, let's get you up.

She's lovely.

Mother's on her way

Any food?

Bread, but it's as hard as a brick.

I'll bake some fresh later.

- We must have aspirin.

- We ran out weeks ago.

If you notice there's a w*r on.

So what happened to Lucy?

She took her own life.

Oh, she chose to go to hell then

Eleanor-

You're trying to tempt me,

aren't you? Forbidden fruit.

You're a vulgar beast. You

aren't fit to wear the habit.

How long have you been back?

- What day is it?

- What a stupid question. Do not test me.

A sister has died. We've

another shut away at the moment.

I'd rather not make it two.

Ah, yes. Poor little Agatha.

Agnes.

- I don't care.

- That's your problem, young woman.

You don't care about anyone.

Certainly not for the word of God.

If I have no faith in

myself, why should I put it

in anyone else? Besides some

of you think so little of me.

God could help you. Sister.

- Has he done much for you lately?

- Sister

Eleanor, please just sit down.

Eleanor, I will not idly sit

and let you waste your life.

You might feel a constant

need to rebel against me,

but I'm not here to fight you.

You've been sent to the

mainland several times

for your own benefit.

Did you bring the baby Eleanor?

What on earth are you talking about?

Baby crying

Speak of the devil.

Is that a baby crying? A real baby?

You didn't bring the child?

I was drunk. Mother,

but not that drunk.

Can you at least tell

me when you got in?

I don't recall. Everything is distorted,

but there was no baby

of that much I'm certain

Did you even leave with Annalise?

Have you been back to the

mainland as you were supposed to?

Of course I have.

Can you remember anyone

else on the boat with you?

I don't think so. Look, please, can I,

can I go lie down? I feel peculiar

Very well.

But be warned, Ellenor,

God might have patience,

but I don't as much as he.

This is your last chance

at St. Augustine's.

We shall have a christening

for Peter as soon as possible.

Clean yourself up!

Help her back to her

room and check on Agnes.

Feed her, but do not let her out.

- Have you calmed down?

- Yes. Can I come out?

Mother wishes you to

stay a little longer.

I'm sorry about Lucy.

Who told you?

She came to visit me

before she k*lled herself.

What she told you?

No, I saw it.

The baby showed me what

would happen here.

You're lying.

I don't lie.

Valerie, tell me, honestly,

have you ever felt God

really felt his hand?

Of course I have.

And has he told you to

vanquish the evil here?

Please just eat and rest Sister.

I have to prepare for a christening.

It will try to tempt you.

You will hear it speak

just as it spoke to me.

And then you must do your duty.

I didn't see you get in last

night. What were you doing?

Nothing. I had to check out

something in the supply cabin.

What exactly?

If you must know. I

took a bottle of wine.

You shouldn't be out in

this sort of weather, mate.

Aye well, I didn't fancy

sitting in here listening

to your old w*r tales.

I'm just joking. Old man.

You see anything of Lucy last night

before she went to the chapel?

Are you going to the christening?

That's none of our business lad.

Our job is to keep this

place ticking over.

There's another storm brewing

and it's gonna be

stronger than the last one

Feels like the end of days.

Hey, you shouldn't joke about that

Here, hold him.

Hold him close to your

sister, against your chest.

Our father who art in

heaven. Hallowed be thy name.

The kingdom come, thy

will be done on earth

as it is in heaven.

Give us our daily bread

and forgive us our trespasses

as we forgive those

who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation

but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom. The

power and the glory, forever.

Amen. Amen. Amen.

Whispering voices

What's the matter?

Valerie, what on earth are you doing?

The baby?

What is it?

I don't feel well, please excuse me.

Whispering voices

No, no, no more! No more!

God, why do you not protect me?

What must I do to earn your love?

He spoke to you, didn't

he? You heard the devil.

I don't know.

You know it wasn't God. That

much we both know for sure.

I I didn't sleep well last

night. I've not eaten much.

I must be delirious.

The others will hear it soon.

Let's go together, sister.

Let's stop it before it turns us all.

- What we're wrong?

- If God knew me to be mistaken.

He would stop me. He would tell me.

You're suggesting the death of a child.

The child could be innocent.

He's not innocent.

He's a vessel for evil. Okay.

I'd be saving the boy's soul.

Help me. Get me enough time alone

with him and I'll let him go peacefully.

You're mad. No I I have to sleep.

I have to rest my mind. I'll

be better in the morning.

Follow me, I need to tell you something.

What? Agnes, wait.

How did you get out?

She will harm me.

She's been fooled

into servitude by evil.

- What are you talking about?

- I can't get

to the demon alone and I don't know

how much longer I can resist it.

Oh-

If you were to do something for me,

I would do something for you.

For salvation I would do anything. Daniel.

And I know all of your dark thoughts.

I don't have any dark thoughts.

Poor young Daniel

fit, young man unwilling

to fight for king and country.

- I was sent home.

- You could still fight

physically. You're able.

- Stop it.

- Why not get something that you want?

A desire, even a sinful

'cause there's nothing that I want.

I can feel in your

chest that you're lying.

I know what you want.

Think of all the things

that you could do to me.

Take me back to the convent and f*ck me

I hope you've sobered up now.

Just a headache.

I should check on Valerie.

Let her rest. She's had a heavy burden

to carry in the absence of her sisters

Absence?

Lucy has died and Agnes has got mad.

What's your excuse, young lady?

I'm I'm sorry to disturb you.

Have you prepared the coffin?

Lucy is at rest now. Covered.

As soon as the storm's

over I'll, I'll bury her.

- Hmm?

- Can you fix the power?

The old generator is done for.

I can't fix the main line

until it's clear outside.

How long do you think it'll

be until the storm passes?

I can't say

Mother

Agnes.

Agnes

Calm down. Put the knife down.

You're a sinner. Why

should I listen to you?

Step away from the child

I'm warning you.

Let me too. God's will

and I will make it quick.

This is not God's will child

Screaming

As God is my witness.

I'll pierce your heart with this Agnes!

Now leave.

LEAVE!

Screaming

What are you doing?

What did you put in his drink?

Something to relax him.

It'll help with the pain.

- Pain.

- You don't know what happened?

- No.

- Agnes stabbed him in the leg.

I had to stitch and dress the wound.

Is he okay?

He'll be fine,

but he's in a lot of pain.

- Where is Agnes?

- I have no idea.

Mother has locked us off

in her office for safety.

And I have yet to inform

Valerie. When did you get back?

- About an hour ago, I think.

- Did you see Agnes?

Hmm

What do you think about the baby?

- It's a baby.

- Do you think Agnes is right?

No. I think she's confused.

Don't you think there've

been some strange occurrences

since the baby arrived?

What are you suggesting?

I am going back to the

convent. Keep an eye on Amos.

Demonic laughing

Satanic voices

No, Lord. No more.

Help me Lord. Evil wishes to

tempt me. Please. I need you.

Help me or I'll defy you!

Satanic voices

Help me, help me, help me.

f*ck you!

Satanic voices

Lord help me, help me. Save me!

No, no, no more, no.

Oh Lord, please, please help. Help me.

Please. Please fire. Help

me. Help me. f*ck you.

Hysterical laughing

What? You think you're

going to save me? Save me!

Stop! Please, please where are you?!

You f*cking c**t!

- Stay away. Agnes.

- You don't want help,

but you are just wailing for it.

- You're sick.

- I've seen the light Sister

Look at you, the state of you,

and you think it's me who is sick?

Where's Daniel Eleanor? I, I need help.

Wait, you don't want God's help.

- Did he speak to you?

- No.

And I don't think he's

gonna speak to you either.

He must. After all I

gave, he must help me

Then test him.

Test God's love for you.

I used to admire your devotion to him.

It was almost as much as my

own. But now I just pity you.

How do I test him?

Take it.

How is this a test? I can't

Put the rope over the rafters.

Put your neck in the noose and hang.

If the rope breaks, then God loves you.

But if it doesn't, at least you'll know.

You can walk free if you survive.

Agnes

Hush little baby.

Don't say a word.

Mama's gonna buy you a mocking bird.

If that mocking bird don't sing

Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring

What are you doing here?

Look, Amos is safe. I'm

better off helping here.

There's no sign of Agnes

Hush little baby don't say a word

Mama's gonna buy you a mocking bird.

If that mocking bird don't sing.

Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring.

Screaming

You can't take me demon!

Mother! Open the door!

You can't take my soul.

Alright stand back, I'll kick it in.

Mother.

- Mother who did this to you?

- Mother, please.

Peter

Where's the baby?

Agnes must have taken Peter.

She must have done this.

Can you find her?

Yeah. I'll look for

her. You tell Valerie

I'll take care of Mother first.

- I'm sorry, Reverend mother.

- I've done things

that I regret, things

that I can't take back.

I don't know how I can make this better.

Bless me, Father for I have sinned

For the sake of your name, Lord,

forgive my iniquities.

Though they are great

Satanic chanting.

- Eleanor?

- No,

Agnes.

What are you doing? You must see mother.

You must listen. You're not right.

Mother is dead.

You, you k*lled her?

No, not me.

She made a choice and

that choice k*lled her.

Where's the, where's the baby?

Safe

Amos, I need to ask you,

would you protect Peter?

As much as could

Would you give your life for the child?

To save the child I would

Why'd you ask?

God hasn't been answering

my prayers, I know only his word

as the Bible has taught us.

But he's not lent me

his ear or his wisdom.

Agnes

Agnes, you know he doesn't work that way.

Then why does the devil speak to me?

He offers me a mission.

He offers me a sanctuary in a new world.

He offers me guidance.

Agnes, there is no

spirit that speaks to you.

I've heard him. Maybe

a demon, maybe Satan.

I just know it's not God.

Amos, who do I follow?

Who? Who do I listen to?

Listen to yourself. Agnes.

What do you think is right? What is wrong?

Valerie?

Valerie!

Wait. Don't k*ll him.

I wasn't going to. What

are you planning Agnes?

He needs me

One minute you want

him dead now you don't.

He has great things planned,

a whole new world in his image.

Christ, a dribbling

wee baby told you that

He has a great destiny,

but he needs a mother

and father to raise him.

I'm to be the mother.

- Congratulations.

- Why don't you be the father

When the storm passes?

We're gonna take him back to the mainland

and get him into proper care.

- You're a full

- Agnes.

I'm not the one that's

been talking to a baby.

Peter's told me things.

I know everything that you've

done, Daniel. I know it all.

Every dark thought, every perversion,

every guilty sin.

You'll never be forgiven by God.

But you could be loved

by Peter, even by-

QUIET! You've gone mad.

Have I?

Were you not here when Lucy died?

I saw the way you looked at her,

the way you looked at all of us.

You can barely contain your desire.

Only God wishes me pure Daniel.

I can give you what you want.

How do you know what I want?

I've seen your dreams.

He showed me.

Oh yeah. What did he show you?

Can't you see what's happening?

Who dies next Agnes?

Don't do it.

You don't need this.

Satanic voices

- What is it?

- He's watching

Ah!

Screaming

Our Father who art in

heaven, hallowed be thy name

I've never asked you for

anything, Lord, and truth.

I don't know how to pray.

I've no tongue for it.

I've done things that I

regret, things that I,

I can't take back.

But if you can't grant me

forgiveness, then please,

I beg you.

Grant this child salvation

from St. Augustine's

You may have forsaken us all here.

But please

Please

Don't, don't forsake the child

No, no, NO!

Agnes please. You have to

listen. Listen to God.

God doesn't love you. None of us.

- Forgive me Agnes, I was wrong.

- You weren't wrong.

The devil did speak to me.

Give me the axe Agnes.

I can stop the devil.

I can stop those voices talking to you.

Peter says, you are lying.

He says that you are

biding your time, waiting

for the perfect moment to k*ll me.

What would you like to

hear what Peter wants?

- What does he want?

- He would like one-

more sacrifice.

Screaming

Beautiful

Eternal rest grant unto her oh Lord.

And let perpetual light shine upon her.

May she rest in peace. Amen.

Amos, it's Eleanor

Amos?

Screaming

This is Eleanor at St. Augustine's.

Can anyone hear me? Over.

This is Eleanor at St.

Augustine's. Is anyone there? Over.

You'll hear a voice soon

enough, but it won't be God's

Hush little baby. Don't say a word.

Mama's gonna buy you a mocking bird.

And if that Mockingbird don't sing,

mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring.

And if that diamond ring is brass,

mama's gonna buy you a looking glass.

And if that looking glass gets broke,

mama's gonna buy you a billy goat.

And if that billy goat don't pull,

mama's gonna buy you a cart and bull.

And if that cart and bull turn over,

mama's gonna buy you a dog called Rover.

And if that dog called Rover don't bark.

Mama's gonna buy you a horse and cart.

And if that horse and cart turn round,

You'll still be the sweetest

little baby in town.
