Thank you.

Darling.

Adelaide.

I'll show you around.

The previous vicar was
the house sitter before us,

but it's been unoccupied
nearly three years now.

As you see, it needs
some attention.

A woman's touch
is all it needs.

Um...

I'm so glad you agreed
to join me here.

Well, of course.

We are married, Linus.

There is electricity.

But i-it's prone to fail.

The housekeeper is
quite the green fingers.

[Chuckles]

Much of the house has been
closed off to us.

I-I think
it's better that way.

Make a home only in the rooms

We'll make it a home

Marianne:
How's the church?

It's had no congregation
since Reverend Hall

and his wife moved out
of the country.

I rather fear things
have lapsed in their absence.

I'm sure Malachi has
entrusted me

to bring
the community back.

- Quite the task.
- Linus.

You worry too much.

This will be a success.

I, uh... I've asked them
to put some toys in her room.

I hope she will
be happy here.

She will be.

This house is wonderful,

and we will support you
in every way we can.

Thank you.

Father, we've come to share
a meal in your honor.

Thank you for bringing us
together as a family.

And thank you for this food.

Plus it in our hearts, Lord.

Guide our
mealtime conversations

and steer our hearts
to your presence.

In Jesus Christ's name, amen.

[Clears throat]

It's very rude to start
eating, Adelaide,

before I've finished Grace.

You need to wait until
I've said the word "amen."

Sorry.

It's all right.
You weren't to know.

- Mommy.
- Hm?

Will you tuck me in
as tight as her?

She's blind, Mommy.

What game was it?

We weren't
playing a game.

Veronica is making
her better.

And who are
these strange fellows,

the ones in
the brown hoods?

I don't know.
She won't tell me.

She says it's private.

Well, maybe she'll tell you
in the morning.

Linus?

[Knocks on door]

[Footsteps approaching]

Marianne.

Would you?

I thought to begin with,

there were
too many things.

You were traveling,
I had Adie, and I thought...

I just thought
it was a matter of time.

Of course.

We're married.

We should share a bed.

Surely it's God's will that
we should be man and wife.

Adelaide,

It was nothing.

I saw that in my room,
the pendant.

Betsy, can I see that?

[Clears throat]

[Speaks indistinctly]

Is it any wonder the
congregation is so small

when superstition
like that's taken hold?

I don't want to see
that again, Betsy.

Why don't you two go into town
this afternoon?

Hm?

I believe they're showing
that Disney film.

Frank will drive you.

I like your pendant.

Narrator: Earlier this year,
the land forces of

the Wermacht marched across
the border into Austria,

violating
the Treaty of Versailles

and demonstrating once again
Hitler's aggressive

territorial ambition.

Once there, they received
a rapturous welcome

and cheering
from the people of Austria,

increasing the power
of the German Reich.

Eyes now turn to the Sudetenland
and Czechoslovakia.

Where we'll Hitler's lust
for power and land end?

Come here.

Are we safe on
our fair island?

- [Sighs]
- Do you want to know

what my favorite part
of the film was?

Yes, I do.

The bit when...

Man: Help the w*r effort!

You think Linus
would like it?

We fight fascists
over there

so you can sleep safe here.

Help the w*r effort.

Thank you.

[Bell dings]

Trust you enjoyed
the film, ma'am.

- We did, Frank.
- Ready to leave?

You know, there must be some
spare iron around the house.

So much of it
isn't even in use.

- Morning.
- Morning, Reverend.

[Indistinct talking]

Man: We fight
fascists over there.

Why does God
allow evil to exist?

Why does he allow w*r?

There are times, there are times
when we feel his absence.

But Jesus tells us
that he... he warms us.

That's much better.

He warms us...

against taking an eye for an eye
and a tooth for a tooth

because violence,
it only begets violence.

And violence is a sin.

[Clapping]

So our brothers
who died for our country

in the Great w*r are sinners,
also, are they?

The church is closed.

Everyone is welcome
in the house of God, surely.

w*r is a sin.

And what is your
vice I wonder?

[Scoffs]

How dare you.

you are in no
position to...

Excuse me.

The graves of , men
was my bed

and my toilet.

For two years.

Might you have also
lived through that hell,

you would not be
so quick to judge, Linus.

How do you know my name?

Oh, I...
I know lots of things.

Forgotten lots
of things, also.

This book

is a history
of the Minassian Order,

an offshoot of
the Augustine,

the black cannon.

The local occupants
of the monastery

that burned down
a long time ago.

You might have heard
of this story.

The house in which you now live
is built on its ruins.

What are you
talking about?

You ever asked yourself
why you're here, Linus?

Bishop Malachi
didn't exactly pick you

for your oratory skills.

So why are you here
at that house?

What purpose is it
you serve?

You are the one
who should not be here.

Have you heard things
in the night, perhaps voices,

whispers, temptations?

Is the house playing tricks
on your wife's mind?

Because it will.

There's a tomb
not so far from here, Linus,

that dates back
to the Minassian Order

of which I spoke.

Two people's bodies
were buried there

three years ago.

Two bodies, on your
Bishop Malachi's orders

in the tomb maintained
by the church.

I believe those bodies belong
to the previous tenants

of your house,
Beatrice and Stanley Hall.

- [Laughs]
- Malachi has lied to you.

The Halls emigrated
to Australia very happily.

If you don't leave
right now,

I'm going to call
the police.

If you do not believe me,
go look in the tomb.

If not for your sake,
for the sake

of the little girl
and your beautiful wife.

How dare you.

Mention my wife!

Beatrice Hall lost her mind
living in that house.

They said her behavior
was no longer befitting

that of a vicar's wife.

I think it fair to say that
several the local men

may have noticed.

That is why he k*lled her!

[Groans]

There's also suggestion
that she was with child,

illegitimate, of course.

I don't know what you think
you know,

but the Halls
are alive and well,

and my family is none
of your concern.

Why are you so hungry?

[Footsteps approaching]

What about you, Uncle Peter?

You haven't eaten anything.

See you're busy.

When you're done,
shall we go and play?

[Leaves rustling]

Man: [On radio] The president is
with Neville Chamberlain.

Since he took office,
Mr. Chamberlain has never

wavered in his determination
to establish peace in Europe.

As the hour with
the dark clouds of w*r

hangs most menacingly
above the world's heads,

the prime minister took
a wise and bold decision

to hold the European meetings
in Munich.

History will call him
"Chamberlain the Peacemaker."

The Premiere returned
to England on the same

British Airways plane that
had taken him on

the outward flight,
and he said from the plane,

the Premiere was handed
a special letter

from His Majesty, the King.

Then he faced microphone
and camera once again.

Man # : The agreement
signed last night

and the Anglo-German
naval agreement

is symbolic of the desire
of our two peoples

never to go to w*r
with one another again.

[Cheering]

[Door opens]

Linus.

Bishop Malachi.

This is
an unexpected honor.

I placed you here.

Surely I'm very much
to be expected.

Most stimulating
conversation, Marianne.

I hope you're both
settling in well.

Yes. Yes.
Thank you, Father.

Personally, I find it
quite disconcerting

to sleep at a place so grand
when so many others in Europe

are struggling.

Marianne, this is
hardly the time.

No, please.
Marianne speaks her mind.

In difficult times
such as this,

God's grip on his people
is weakened.

A time when the strength
of the church

is more important than ever.

Marianne: I'm not sure
the church alone will see us

through what's
happening in the world.

Fascism is truly vile.
Would you not agree?

Marianne,
that's quite enough.

Sorry, Father.

Would you, um...

Would you like to
join me for a drink?

- [Liquid pouring]
- Malachi: I see you found

Stanley's Bible.

Yes, I was bringing
it to you.

And yet you didn't
know I'd be here.

It's been defaced.

He was a troubled
man at times.

I'm sure the sunshine
of the colonies

is doing him some good.

How's the congregation?

Mm, quiet.
But that will change.

A house, generous stipend,
a far cry from

the wiles of missionary work,
wouldn't you say?

[Chuckles] Yes,
it's very generous.

I'm very grateful.

You should be.

She's a spirited woman,
fiery and strong.

Hard to believe
that she could sink so low

as to give
her own daughter away.

Even if she did
take her back.

All those things
that people were saying.

Hell of a thing
you did there.

Really.

Saving her.

I try not to look
at it that way.

Anything you wish
to tell me?

About what?

There has been a man.

A pagan.

He was seen in town
this afternoon.

He's a charlatan.

A storyteller.

His brand of godlessness
is dangerous.

[Billiard ba*ls clatter]

He's known to us.

I thought I'd come sooner
rather than later to warn you.

You see, some people
make a living creating myths

and then selling themselves
as the savior.

Please...

educate yourself

and call me if you
see him again.

I give you my word.

Why would I need
your word?

I have your loyalty.

Marianne: You shouldn't
let Bishop Malachi get to you.

It's nothing for you
to concern yourself with.

Adelaide, manners.

[Clears throat]

Men in Colchester
were collecting

for the w*r in Spain.

What men were those?

Frank Driver
was amongst them.

It's not really any
of our business, Marianne.

They're going to k*ll us,
aren't they, Mommy?

What do you mean?

The bad men we saw
in the news.

Adelaide, we are
completely safe here.

You shouldn't have let her
see that newsreel.

[Silverware clatters]

Perhaps.

But equally,
we shouldn't pretend

that things
aren't happening.

There's no excuse
for doing nothing.

Fascists are taking
controlled by force.

Yes, but to oppose
with force is a sin

of exactly
the same cloth.

I can't support
that action.

I've arranged
for a collection.

We'll donate the metal
that's just gathering dust.

[Footsteps approach]

Adelaide, why don't you go to
your room and play.

Betsy, stop that for a moment
and leave us, please.

Just leave it!

Everything in this house
is the property of

the church, Marianne.

It's not
yours to give away.

That's the end of it.

I don't want you talking
with men in the town

- like that either.
- I'm sorry.

You're not cohorting
with your artist friends.

You're a vicar's wife now.
You're not some...

Finish that sentence.

You're my wife.

Am I?

Because a deed is worth more
than a word, Linus.

The same way a touch
is worth more than a look.

Adie, come on.

what I saw that day, but...

I can't sit by and watch
another family die.

I won't allow
that to happen.

- Malachi.
- Stay where you are.

Take a pew.
Welcome to my church, Bishop.

I've been taking confession
from our friend here.

Tells me that truth
is power.

Too much power can corrupt
even the most

peaceful of philosophies.

People, their, uh...

Their minds turn them into,
um... you, Bishop.

You tell me
what you're hiding.

Tell me your secrets.

I said stay where
you are, Dr. Sutter.

You've been taken in

[Chuckles]

An occultist

What about that poor girl
in Portsmouth?

Your lies led her into
the marshes, and she drowned.

Didn't she?
You should be in jail.

Well, if that were true,
I would be.

Well, if they had more evidence,
you would be.

[Scoffs]

Why have you placed another
young couple in that house

after what happened
to the Halls?

Gentry that bequeathed
that house to the church

did so in the belief
that it would be made safe,

not turned into free board
and arching sport

for whatever bloody game
it is you're playing, Bishop.

If you don't leave
this place immediately,

I'll see to it that you're
interred in the darkest cell.

And maybe I'll find
the evidence that they couldn't.

Oh.

Now, that would be
very befitting

your order,
wouldn't it, Bishop?

Find a new friend.

They believed

husbands against

Who are you?

No.

When the darkness closes in
and all light is gone

and all you can smell

The shame of your
illegitimate child haunts you.

It's you I want to speak with

I have no secrets

Yes, you do.

None that
I would tell you.

Linus doesn't know about
your confession, now does he?

A Protestant girl giving
confession to a Catholic priest.

That was a long time ago.
I was ill.

You were pregnant.

Shamed by the sin
of your flesh,

unable to return
to your family.

A hospital for the mentally
infirm your new home.

What is it that you
could tell a priest

that you couldn't
tell a doctor?

The doctor told me
that Adie had died inside me.

That's why I became ill.

They told me
she had to be removed.

They were lying.
I felt her kick.

And I did not ask
for confession.

I asked for the priest
to hide me

until she was born.

Well, he didn't,
did he?

He called the hospital,
and they proclaimed you mad.

They couldn't abort.
Priest saw to that.

That the child was born
and taken from you.

Why ask if you
already know?

What I need you
to understand

is how you got Adie back.

You see, as well as
calling the hospital,

the priest called me,
and I came to visit you there.

Do you remember?

You were heavily sedated,
confused.

But mad. Oh.

You were a mother
in need of her child.

It was I who got
your daughter back.

And I called the orphanage
and convinced them

that a mission I was running
could care for you both.

It was there that
you met Linus.

What is it you want?

I know the company
you've been keeping of late.

I do not want you
to listen to his lies.

And I do not want you
to leave this house.

You see,
I placed you here.

Not because of your husband,
but because of you.

And I need to feel like
I made the correct decision.

Do you understand?

Now we both have Adelaide's

I need your help.

I bet it was
the f*cking house.

[Groans]

Mr. Reed, can you help me?
Adie's gone.

She's disappeared.
Can you find her?

Yes, I believe I can,
but if we are to find her,

we must... we have to see
the light on her face-to-face.

We must go into the darkness
of which I spoke.

Can you do this with me?

- Yes.
- And your husband?

Betsy!

[Laughs]

She's deaf.

[Laughs]

I've got a maid, you know?

Mm. She's deaf.

Deaf as a post.

I've got a deaf maid.

And a wife who is completely,
completely mad.

Lord, help me.

Will you find
my f*cking maid?

- Adie?
- Shh.

[Gasps]

What have they done to you?

You're not there anymore.

Goodbye.

Clean it up.
Clean it up.

Clean it up.
Clean it up. Clean it up.

Clean it up.
Clean it up.

Do not get too close,
Ms. Forster.

Clean it up.
Clean it up.

Believe me when I say

your husband
did not k*ll Betsy.

He is a victim of this house,
as was she.

Beholden to its powers
and now held in its trance.

Clean it up.
Clean it up.

This house is now repeating with
you what did it with the Halls.

Where's Adie?

Linus, where's Adie?

Linus, where's Adie?

Clean it up.
Clean it up.

Go and find
something of your daughter's

that was precious to her
so that we might still, still

tempt her back to us.

- Her doll.
- Yes, very good.

Clean it up.
Clean it up. Clean it up.

- Oh.
- Clean it up.

Clean it up I will
indeed, Linus.

Hide your eyes, Linus.

Are you in sight
into the cracks

and the crevices
of this house.

It's history, it's terrible,
terrible history

that has bewitched you.

Look past what this house
is showing you.

Look into the dark center
of the beyond.

Let me into your mind.

Show me what you see.

[Screaming]

[Screams]

Linus.

Leave him.

This house is cursed,
Mrs. Forster.

We all admitted it
many years ago.

The monks tortured and mutilated
a woman in this house.

The woman now holds your
daughter as revenge

against the church
that did torment her.

The monks come of
the Minassian Order

are coming for you.

As they did
that poor, poor woman.

They ripped her open...

...because she was pregnant.

A child.

With their child.

They abandoned it down there
in the darkness,

blinded the woman
to hide their shame.

Now this poor, ghostly soul
has taken Adelaide as her own.

[Shuddering]

Do you love your husband,
Mrs. Forster?

- Yes.
- And do you trust me?

Yes.

Out! Out!

[Linus panting]

[Gasping]

Are you there?
I see you.

Good for now.
But we must make haste.

She had a child down there
in the darkness.

It can't have survived
down there.

That is why she now
claims yours as her own.

Tell her, brave.

Was there a ritual,
was it not, Linus?

The absence of light.

Do you know this ritual?

I do.

Then we must use it
to enter the beyond.

Linus: From the sixth hour,

there was darkness
all over the land.

At about the ninth hour,

Jesus cried out in a loud voice
and gave up his spirit.

He said...

"Wouldst thou be willing to
lay down my life for another,

less worthy?

Hast thou ever felt
the pain of abandonment, agony?

Oh, God, why hast
Thou forsaken me?"

Adelaide: Mommy says
you're forbidden to go there.

You're not to look.

As our prime minister is doing
all he can to avoid w*r

that's threatening
to engulf all of Europe,

I have had many of you asked me
if I can help them

to pray for peace.

And peace is a... it's good.

It's a noble thing to pray for.

But the only thing that's
necessary for evil to triumph

is for good men to do nothing.

That darkness that comes when
we fail to uphold the light,

when we are driven by fear
and blame others

for the shortcomings
in ourselves,

when we exploit what divides us
instead of what unites us,

let us pray this evil
does not spread further.

Our Father who art in heaven

hallowed be thy name,

thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,

on earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day...
