[GIRL] So you have to
wear them forever now.

Forever until you die?

Mom says they make me look extinguished.

She probably said "distinguished."

It's like fancy.

Let me try.

Oh, wow.

You're blind.

- Can you even tell it's me?
- Of course I can.

I see you every day.

- [WOMAN IN DISTANCE] Kids, dinner!
- You can stay for dinner again.

I should go home.

No, really, you can stay.

My mom says you can stay anytime.

I think she wishes she could swap us.

[CHUCKLES] Then you'd
have to live with my mom.

[CHUCKLES]

[DANI CHUCKLES]

Wow.

You like it?

Yeah, absolutely.

You're beautiful.

[MAN] It was a dare. She dared me...

to kiss her, and so I did.

And then Kyle tells me that kissing
is how you get a girl pregnant,

- so...
- [GUESTS CHUCKLE]

... I panicked. I-I was ten years
old, my mom's gonna k*ll me,

Danielle's mom is gonna
k*ll the both of us.

I-I have to make this right.

So...

the very next day,

while we were walking to school, I...

get down on one knee,
and I asked her to marry me.

- And she turned me down.
- [GUESTS LAUGHING]

She says, "We're too young."

And, so, I said...

"When is old enough?"

And, um...

well, over the years,
I kept asking and asking.

Now, we're still pretty young,

but I think we are old enough
to know what we want,

and what I want is to be the man
that gets to be with this girl,

this beautiful, amazing girl,
for the rest of our lives.

Danielle, thank you for daring
me to do it. [LAUGHS]

I can't wait.

- [GUESTS CHUCKLING]
- That's all I wrote.

[WOMAN] Dani, honey, are you having fun?

- Yeah. Yeah, I'm just a little tired.
- Yeah.

Eddie says you've been
so busy at school.

Yeah, there's a couple of kids
that just need a little extra help.

Come with me for a minute.
I've got a surprise for you. Come on.

Oh.

Oh, yeah.

Okay, so, one thing I've always
loved about you, Danielle,

you always seem to spot the
kids that need you the most.

You'd better take care of
yourself as well, you know.

Save them all if you can, but put
your own oxygen mask on first.

Edmund says the same thing.

All the time.

Here, come here.

This is just a... a...

I don't know, it's a silly thought.
It might be a bad idea.

Um, but...

[WHISPERS] Oh.

I, um...

I remember the first time I met you.

You were just the sweetest little thing.

And you said, "Good
morning, Mrs. O'Mara.

I'm Danielle, and I'm gonna
be Edmund's new best friend."

[BOTH LAUGH GENTLY]

You always knew your mind.
Always. [CHUCKLES]

So, if this doesn't feel right,

I expect that you will tell me.
I trust you will.

I always hoped I'd have a
daughter I could give this to.

I'm so proud of my sons,

but I don't think this
would suit any of them.

[BOTH LAUGH]

Well, maybe Carson. [CHUCKLES]
Anyway, come, let's see.

I mean, we'd have to
take it in, of course,

and, um... well, take it up, probably.

Um... But, well, let's just...

see.

Okay.

- It's beautiful. I, um...
- [SIGHS WITH RELIEF]

I don't know what to say.

Oh...

Just say...

"Good morning, Mrs. O'Mara."

I can scrub up when I need to.

Funeral starts at four.

- Owen said we should get there early.
- Okay.

It's a... [CLEARS THROAT]

It's quite a dress.

Yeah, it's the only
thing I had in black.

I-I hate it.

Does look a bit like you're
trying to scandalize the village.

Can't say I fault the general principle.

- I just don't want to let Owen down.
- [JAMIE] He won't mind.

Honestly, you don't have
to go if you don't want to.

Really?

He said as much.

Was pretty clear.

Okay. Yeah.

That's a relief, actually. I, um...

I had a funeral in my own life.

Not so long ago.

And I feel like this is, um...

Hey, Poppins.

It's your day off.

I promise, I don't need you to be
my date to Owen's mom's funeral.

- [BOTH CHUCKLE SOFTLY]
- Okay.

Okay.

Then, can you help me
get this thing off?

Blimey. [CLEARS THROAT]

I thought you were off

No.

No, I decided to stay home.

I don't like funerals either.

Hm.

So, what you up to down here?

Grave rubbings.

Wow.

I wanted to finish them all

before the end of the season.

Hm.

- [FLORA] Miss Clayton?
- [DANI] Mm-hm?

[SIGHS] Will Owen's mom be there?

- Where?
- At the funeral.

I suppose so.

My mom and dad weren't at theirs.

They were far away when they died.

They had to bury empty boxes.

But we had to pretend anyway.

And I thought that was quite silly.

Well...

... you know, your parents
loved you so, so much that...

... in a way, they'll always be here.

They're not here.

I'm sorry, Miss Clayton.

They're really not.

I've looked and looked. But...

we can pretend if that
makes you feel better.

Oh. No.

Okay, now. Come along, sweetie.
Your pants are getting wet out here.

[FLORA GIGGLING]

- What?
- [GIGGLING CONTINUES]

What's so... Hey! No!

Mrs. Grose, my trousers
got wet in the graveyard,

- and Miss Clayton said I wet my pants.
- [HANNAH] Oh!

Because in America,
"pants" mean "trousers."

[LAUGHING] That is funny.

She said I wet my pants like a baby.

- [HANNAH CHUCKLES]
- Oh, Miss Clayton,

let me do one for you.

You haven't seen this.

I'll do it in blue, to match your eyes.

- Mm.
- It will be splendid.

[CHUCKLES] Okay.

I, uh...

I guess you didn't make
it to the funeral either.

Oh, no, not my cup of tea,
the church in the village.

I haven't been there since...

God...

since I was married.

Hm.

I had nothing but respect
for Owen's mom, but...

she was long gone.

Dementia is a savage thing.

Jamie said that Owen said it
was okay if we missed it.

No, yeah, that's true.

[SIGHS] I pay my respect in my own ways.

He understands that funerals
are for the living.

It's up to the living to decide
what they can and cannot bear.

[DANI] Hm.

[HANNAH] Right, you. Come along.

Let's get some supper started
for you children, shall we?

Mm-hm. Me and Miles will help.
I can chop things up.

[HANNAH] Oh! I'm not letting
you chop things up.

- [FLORA] Aww.
- [HANNAH] Ohh.

[STORYTELLER] The au pair
found that she lit her candle

not in remembrance of
those that she lost,

but to atone for the moments
she didn't remember them.

Those most recent moments

where she'd even been happy
to have forgotten them.

[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]

I thought you said you were
making our favorite for dinner.

I didn't say it was your favorite.
It's Owen's favorite.

But Owen isn't here.

- Hey, you lot.
- Hello.

- [HANNAH] How was it?
- Oh, you know, just a barrel of laughs.

Any chance for a brew?

Yeah, I'll make tea.

[HANNAH AND JAMIE] No!

I'll make it.

Can you, uh...

make sure these two don't
chop their fingers off?

[JAMIE] Owen did his best.

Almost no one even remembers how
she was when her mind hadn't gone.

Hate to say it,

but, on some level, it must be a relief.

For Owen, I mean.

Uh, did he, um...

Did he seem relieved?

No.

Didn't seem much of anything.
Shell-shocked.

I'd be relieved, though.

Losing yourself like that.

Being worn away a little bit every day.

Good Christ.

Just sh**t me.

Put me out my misery.

It's not fair on anyone.

I don't think fairness
comes into it, dear.

un-until I arrived and, well,

I should... I should go, shouldn't I?

- I should go back, 'cause...
- Supper's, uh...

almost done.

You should eat.
I'll bet you haven't eaten.

how did you know Owen was coming?

She's been making your favorite.

And I'm happy to say, he knows it.

- [CHUCKLES]

I remembered what you told me.

Half a teaspoon of Marmite in the gravy.

You can taste it.

Yeah, my, uh...

My mom used to make this when
she had to go away for work.

It would keep for days in the fridge.

Sorry, still recovering.

I was attacked, you know.

Right at the front door.

I'm so sorry.

[HANNAH] Hey, you leave
her alone. She can't help it.

She's American. They're
essentially savage people.

[FLORA] Will you be
going away now, Owen?

Now you don't have to look
after your mom anymore?

- Why? Are you sick of me?
- No!

Admit it, you're all sick of me.

I bet Mrs. Grose can't wait
to get me out of her hair.

That's right. I'm far too old
to be putting up with you

loitering around my kitchen all day.

No, she likes you.

[WHISPERING] Really.

Just eat your dinner.

[CLEARS THROAT]

You're not dying, you know.

[MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYING]

[OWEN] What do you mean?

When Mum and Dad died,

I thought I was going to die too.

I was sure of it.

But then I thought...

... what if I was already dead?

But nobody else knew,

and I was walking around dead.

But everybody could see and hear me.

That was dreadful.

It only felt like dying...

... because actually, I was still alive.

You have to be to feel that way.

I wasn't dead.

I was just really, really sad.

But then I learned a secret.

I didn't even need to be sad anymore.

What secret?

Dead doesn't mean gone.

So...

you don't need to be sad.

- Miss Clayton?
- [DANI] Hm?

I think I ought to be
allowed a glass of wine.

[DANI] Mm.

You know, I disagree.

You're all having some.

Anyway... Peter let me
have wine sometimes...

For pity's sake. Will we ever
hear the end of Peter Quint?

My mum used to water mine down.

Yeah, gave me half a glass.

My mom too.

Except without the water.

for the little kids.

Have Miles or you...

... seen Peter Quint?

Since he left.

Maybe you...

let him into the house.

Look, I'm not angry.

I'd just like for you
to tell me the truth.

No.

Of course not.

We don't let him in the house.

That's not how it works.

- What are you looking at?
- [GASPS]

I-I'm sorry?

You do that, a lot.

You look over my shoulder.
What are you looking at?

I don't know what you mean.

Well, that was quite
the display, wasn't it?

What was?

Miles, you and I are a lot alike.

Are we?

Yeah... We are.

In one of the biggest
ways people can be.

I didn't have parents growing up either.

[MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYING]

My dad died...

when I was about Flora's age.

And my mom...

... was alive, but, um...

... she wasn't really there anymore.

So, a lot of the times,
I had to be my own parent.

The kids like us...

... like you...

... and me...

... and Flora...

... we're special.

We grow up faster than other kids.

Hm.

And even more special...

we really get to choose the grown-ups
that we keep in our life.

Well, mostly, anyway.

I suppose that is pretty special.

I'm saying this 'cause I want
you to know that I understand.

When you talk a little
bit more grown-up, or...

you wanna act like the
grown-ups, I understand.

I was the same way.

You lost somebody too.

I did.

I've lost people a few ways in my life.

But...

wow!

Miles, you've got some great grown-ups.

Some great people here
to choose for your family.

If you want to.

Good night.

We're all outside,
and you're joining us.

[DANI] Hm.

hasn't seen daylight

- since before you were born.
- [DANI] Huh.

[OWEN] Hannah, give her a bottle.

[CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]
I'm sorry. I-I... I keep trying to stop.

Look, I know it's been...

it's been a lot.

You always hear that planning a wedding

is one of the most stressful
things you can do.

But you're doing great.

And I just wanted to
give us a night where...

we don't have to talk about any of it.

Uh... Actually...

Eddie, I was thinking we
could just tone it all down.

Maybe just...

I don't know, I don't think we
have to go so... crazy with it.

Y-Yeah, I thought you
wanted a big wedding.

I-I...

If you don't, that's all
perfectly well and fine.

I...

thought I wanted it.

I wanted...

to want it.

But it's just so expensive,

and...

so much...

to organize.

So many people to let down...

Y-Yeah, no, easy. It's dumb.

For a second, I thought
you were gonna say

you didn't wanna get married at all.

Eddie.

I can't.

What did I do?

- Nothing.
- What didn't I do?

- It's not like that.
- Well, then, what's it like, Danielle?

[SIGHS]

[SNIFFLES]

Thank you.

[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]

This makes no sense.

I should have said something sooner.

- Yeah, you think?
- I didn't wanna hurt you...

or your mom.

Or your family.

And then it was just what we were doing.

- Jesus Christ...
- I just...

thought I was being selfish.

That I could just stick it out,

and, eventually, I would
feel how I was supposed to.

You didn't wanna hurt me, huh?

And...

I love you.

So much.

Even still.

- It's just not... I don't...
- f*ck you, Danielle!

How... W-Why are you doing this to me?

I don't... Eddie...

Mind you, I do appreciate
the adult beverages.

[JAMIE] You know, in the old days...

I mean, the really old days,

they used to build giant
bonfires at this time of year.

And talk about the people they'd lost.

Toss in offerings to
drive away evil spirits.

- Old bones, mostly.
- [OWEN] I remember.

[SLURRING SLIGHTLY] That's
why they call it a bonfire, isn't it?

As I was sayin',

that's why it's called a bonfire.

From the old English,
meaning "bone fire."

Build a pile of old bones
and burn away the shadows.

Because from here on in,

the shadows get deeper...

... the nights get longer.

We're heading into the dark, and
we have to hang onto each other.

So we can only carry so much.

So...

anyone got any old bones to throw?

All right, I'll start. [SNIFFS]

[MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYING]

[HANNAH SIGHS]

Rebecca.

Rebecca Jessel.

Oh, my God, it's been almost a year.

A year focused on the wrong person.

But, wherever she is,

she's still worth ten of that
man. I won't say his name.

She was brilliant.

She was beautiful.

And she was punished for it.

I don't know why brilliant young
women are always punished.

Rebecca.

All right, my turn. [CLEARS THROAT]

Lord and Lady Wingrave.

Dominic and Charlotte.

They were good people.

Old-fashioned...

kind people.

And their kids really miss them.

Nothing can fix that.

Not ever.

But here's Dani Clayton.

She's a bit of a weirdo, but she's
a lot stronger than she thinks.

And if anyone can bring Miles
and Flora back to themselves,

she can.

I'm glad she's here.

I think they would be too.

[SNIFFS]

What about you, Poppins?

Um...

No, thank you.

That's all right.

No, you... you don't have to.

So...

my mom.

Margaret Sharma.

She was 67.

Except sometimes,
by the end, she forgot that.

Called me by my dad's
name, or her brother's.

You know, I tried to pretend

that I didn't know who
I was supposed to be.

They didn't say any of
that at the funeral.

They wouldn't. They just...

... smoothed it over.

Made it nice.

So, they left out all the bad stuff.

And all the good stuff.

They didn't say how funny she was.

How she would...

wink at you from across
the breakfast table.

She had a sweet tooth.

And a dirty laugh.

And she loved me...

so hard...

it hurt.

Sometimes.

No matter what I did.

She was gone long before she died.

And I miss her.

She was my anchor.

And then I suppose she was my...

... burden.

Christ.

She seemed so small,

at the end.

But still so...

... heavy.

And I...

And all I could do was just...

let her hang onto me

until it was time for her to let go.

And soon I'll let her go, too.

Hm.

[STORYTELLER] The au pair was tired.
She had been tired for so long.

Yet without even realizing
she was doing it,

she found herself taking her own
advice that she'd given to Miles.

She'd chosen someone
to keep close to her,

that she could feel tired around.

Chosen someone who might help
her burn away the shadows.

I'm not gonna ask if you're all right,

'cause I don't like being lied to.

So, what's wrong?

I thought I saw...

Peter Quint.

- But it wasn't?
- No, of course not.

It's not the first time I've...

seen things that...

aren't there.

So, what else?

Well...

I, uh, I...

I guess I...

... told you about my fiancé...

earlier, didn't I?

Oh, you did.

Yeah.

I was, uh...

hoping we'd, uh, get round to that one.

We were engaged, and he... he died.

you weren't up for this.

Just...

Let's...

Let's get back.

Uh, another night, maybe.

Another time, maybe.

[STORYTELLER] But what the
gardener didn't yet understand

was that the au pair
had been telling herself

- to wait another night...
- [KNOCKING]

... another time...

... for years and years.

[KNOCKING CONTINUES]

- [MRS. O'MARA] Oh, oh, hi, Danielle.
- Oh.

Uh, y-you've not been
answering your phone,

so I thought I'd come around.

Oh, I'm sorry, Judy, I, um...

Uh, it's, it's, um...

- It's been a bad time.
- Oh, of course.

Honey, I'm... I... I'm worried.

People say you're not
taking care of yourself.

You've got to eat.

I brought some lasagna.

- Oh, my favorite.
- Yeah.

- Thanks.
- No. [LAUGHS GENTLY]

I-I brought something else, too. It's...

Um...

I... [STAMMERING]

I think it's silly, sort of, but...

I thought you might like to have these.

[EERIE MUSIC PLAYING]

Oh, uh...

No. Judy, I-I'm sorry, but I...

Really? They were in his things

that came back from the hospital and...

I can't stand to look at them.

I couldn't bear to throw
them away, so I thought...

- Please.
- Okay, of course.

Thank you.

Danielle...

I hope you know

that you're still a really
important part of this family.

I hope you know that I mean
that. Come here, come on.

Ohh...

Oh, my sweet thing.

[CAR APPROACHING]

Okay, um, I-I actually have
some stuff I need to get done.

- Oh, sure, of course. Um...
- Yeah.

Please, please come by
for dinner, any night.

- Okay, I will.
- Okay.

Real soon.

Lots of love.

Okay. Uh, bye-bye now.

Bye, sweetheart.

[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]

Say it with me.

Hannah Grose in Paris.

You and me, while we still can.

[JAMIE] So sorry to interrupt,
but I'm turning into a pumpkin.

Come on, Owen, time to go home.

Oh, it's about that time.

Well... [CLEARS THROAT]

I'll-co-hol you later.

[HANNAH] God, even for you.

Drive safe.

[JAMIE] I know the road. We'll be fine.

It's all good.

Christ, the state of you.

[FLORA] Miss Clayton?

[FRIGHTENING MUSICAL SWELL]

Miles!

[SNIFFS]

[MILES] Miss Clayton!

What the he...

What the heck are you doing down here?

Fl-Flora had a nightmare.

[DANI SIGHS]

Okay, let's get you two back to bed.

Not just yet.

I'm quite frightened.

It was a horrible dream.

Well, you should be in bed.

Not now, I won't.

[SIGHS]

What happened?

There was something horrible
and loud in the wardrobe.

- Mm-hm.
- Moving from in there to under...

A creature!

A creature under my bed.

And it knew my name.

And it was reaching out,
and it knew my name.

And it said it wanted
to do awful things.

And it had bones for hands.

That sounds awful.

It was my mum.

[EERIE MUSIC PLAYING]

I am so...

sorry, Flora.

That sounds like an awful dream.

Well.

Let's get you two back to bed, okay?

Just a minute.

I don't want to just yet.

I was so scared,

but I'm feeling better already.

Just...

a-a few minutes more.

Just a minute, really.

In... in fact,

c-could I have a glass of milk?

[DANI] Of course.

[MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYING]

I'm sorry.

No.

It's okay, okay? There's
nothing to be scared of.

- Quite right.
- Yeah.

Good night...

sweet girl.

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
