away from the classroom.

The boys had to stay behind and

a woman disappeared with him.

It is her.

I tell you, she is.

She is back.

Molly does this again for

what you did to her.

Wait, stop.

Do we know this for sure?

Is she really?

It is impossible, she is dead.

She took my brother from the church.

I saw her dress.

It was a black robe.

Wait a second.

Sorry, but who is Molly?

A child murderer.

It was the winter of '92.

She killed the children from this village.

Our children.

And we did that ourselves.

I win.

- You played false.

Not true.

You could have recorded.

- Do not look at me like that, Amy.

Well, where is your grandfather?

Lock the door behind me and

stay in the car, okay?

I'll be right back.

These are possible observations

of her, as you can see.

And this woman stands up everywhere.

And she is that?

Molly?

People have seen her near

their house in the forest.

They were worried about

possible kidnappings.

That's why they took a picture.

Frau Perchta was a witch...

who stole children's

souls during Christmas.

Frau Perchta?

You're certainly kidding me.

Lesley, Heidi, this is a myth.

This is just a sick copycat

who has seen too many films.

We thought Molly did those terrible

things with our children in 1992.

So we brought her to the forest...

and hung up her.

Sorry, but I had nothing to do with this.

- But your grandmother does.

You are descended from the same bloodline.

We have treated Molly wrongly.

She cursed us that day.

That, one day...

Frau Perchta would come

for us and our children.

This is a myth.

Molly was not some kind of witch

that evoked evil spirits.

You were there.

You heard how she pronounced

those words for her death.

She killed our children.

She received her earned wages.

I have to record this.

Yes, everything is going well here, Joe.

I just wanted to get Tilly to bed.

How long will it be?

I have plans.

You can come in and

join those jokers.

Take a pitchfork and a burning torch

with you, then you'll hear it.

See what myth you can add.

Maybe that of Krampus.

Go to sleep.

I am not tired.

So keep your mouth shut

and do not talk to me.

Excuse me?

- You do what I want, babysitter.

Otherwise I tell my grandfather and grandmother

that you locked me in the closet...

while you invited your boyfriend

to do naughty things.

You little b*tch.

We pay you, so I would behave.

Well, do you want a

story before bedtime?

Fine, but not about Snow White

who is lost in the forest...

and live with a number of men.

We know what really happened to Witje.

How about this?

Have you ever heard of Frau Perchta?

Who is that?

Okay, this will be fun.

Frau Perchta was a witch.

She was brutally murdered

by savages in the forest.

In these forests.

Hundreds of years ago, during Christmas.

It is claimed that she

lives in the underworld.

And if you say her name three times

while looking in a mirror...

then she will get you.

Do keep up, girl.

That is Candyman.

Oh, so you do not believe me?

Boys...

I have seen this before.

It is a kind of symbol, a pattern.

Where did I see it?

One of your students signed it.

Yes, you are right.

So do it.

O my God, you are afraid.

Is Tilly scared?

- I'm not afraid.

So do it.

I said three times.

Or can you sometimes not count?

You try to scare me.

That was done pretty cleverly.

Head close, pus.

The candle just went out.

Frau Perchta is a witch

who, during Christmas...

the souls of children stole.

Did you see that?

What was it?

Do not leave me alone.

- Hurry up.

Hide yourself.

I have no range.

This is all your fault.

I had to play that game from you.

- Stop it.

We have to take that phone.

But that is completely down.

I know, but we have to.

We have to leave here.

I can not do it alone.

You have to come with me.

No, I keep the guard and

wait for the witch.

Just go.

It will be fine.

But do not make too much noise.

Go now.

I have to stay here.

There is no one there.

INCOMING CALL:

Pick up.

I'll try again.

Come on.

And what now? Are we waiting to see

who was nice and who was naughty?

How do we stop her?

We know she is not a

fan of the church.

How do we know that?

- She took Perry outside.

And she loves darkness.

- The forest is the best place for her.

That is the best hiding place.

We killed her there.

Okay, I have to go.

It is Christmas Eve after all.

I can not stay here any longer.

Martha, be careful.

There are few of us.

And tomorrow is Christmas,

so she has little time.

That also applies to us.

We can not change the past...

so now we have to face

the consequences.

Taking matters into your own hands...

playing for God.

That's why all this happens.

She cursed us that day...

and now we have to endure everything.

- Do not say that.

Do not say that, there is still hope.

I know that for sure, we will

get our little ones back.

Are you following me?

Do not you have a house?

Sweet Child.

What are you doing?

I told you to lock the door.

Come on, we're going home.

We could not know what was

the result of our actions.

You're a good man, Alfie.

I have always loved you.

It was not easy for

me to just leave.

You could not stay with us,

we could not trust you.

Vanessa is also a part

of me, you know that.

You are not the only one who had grief.

I assume I saw my

granddaughter yesterday.

You are not part of my

family, nothing has changed.

Go back to where you came

from when this is over.

I'm afraid, Alfie.

I'm so scared that we can

not survive tonight.

Or Christmas.

She will come after us.

And our daughter.

Meet me here tomorrow morning.

Stay safe.

I see you tomorrow.

I am so sorry.

What is that?

O my God, I think that's blood.

Go inside, Amy.

What is that, Dad?

- We have to clean it.

Good dad, you have to

tell me what's going on.

Because I just talked

to Joe at the church...

and he was talking about myths.

What were you doing in there?

You hide something for me, Dad.

What is it?

Tell me.

You do not have to be afraid

of me, you know that.

Just tell me.

It was...

twenty-five years ago.

During Christmas.

Molly Fletcher was a...

woman who lived in the village.

She was known for being...

weird.

Different.

It was said that her daughter...

behind a cat went into the forest...

and she was never seen again.

During that Christmas, several

children disappeared.

A total of five children

disappeared from the village.

Children's bodies were

found in the forest.

I still worked at the station.

There were stories, rumors

circulating about Molly.

It was said that she was the killer.

Is that your cat?

She had taken the children,

she killed them...

and used their blood for a

weird ceremony, a sacrifice.

Do you want to hear this?

- I do not have a choice, do I?

You do not have to be afraid of me.

You do not have to fight me.

I protect unwanted

children who are at risk.

I am not in danger.

Soon no more.

Can I pet him?
