NICHOLAS :
Don 't tell her!

Don 't tell her!

MAN:
"Don 't tell her. "

ANNE:
If I tell her,

they'll leave us in peace.

NICHOLAS :
Mummy!

MAN:
"Mummy. "

why are you crying, children ?

what happened in this room ?

what did your mother do to you?

[whispering]

Something about a pillow.

Is that how she killed you?

[Posary drops]

with a pillow?

She didn 't kill us!

Children, if you 're dead...

why do you remain in this house ?

ANNE:
we 're not dead!

[Sobs]

woMAN:
why do you

remain in this house ?

we 're not dead!

NICHOLAS :
we 're not dead!

we 're not dead!

woMAN:
why do you

remain in this house ?

"we 're not dead.

we 're not dead. "

- we 're not dead!

- we 're not dead!

we 're not dead!

[Yelling]

oh!

[gasps]

[Exhales]

MAN:
Are you all right?

Yes. Just a bit dizzy,

that's all.

what happened?

They made contact.

All three ?

Apparently, yes.

The mother

and the two children.

Quite interesting,

don 't you think?

MRS MAPLISH:
Interesting?

I was scared out of my wits!

Darling, calm down.

No. So far, we have handled

this matter your way...

but now you listen to me.

we can 't possibly stay

in this house any longer.

It is quite clear these beings

do not want us to live here.

we don 't know anything

about them yet.

Yes, we do!

we know the woman went mad...

smothered her two children,

and then shot herself.

That's quite enough.

Think of our son.

There 's nothing wrong

with Victor.

Yes, there is!

He has nightmares.

He says he has seen that girl...

and even this lady

has been possessed by her.

Please,

let us leave this house.

All right.

we will leave tomorrow morning.

oh, thank god for that.

I'll just go

and check on Victor.

once again,

thank you so much for coming.

MAN:
A pleasure.

I hope we 've been of some help.

MR MAPLISH:
oh, yes, of course.

Though I must admit...

: At first,

I couldn 't understand...

what the pillow

was doing in my hands...

or why you didn 't move.

But then I knew.

It had happened.

I had killed my children.

[Inhales]

I got the rifle.

I put it to my forehead.

Then I pulled the trigger.

Nothing.

Then I heard your laughter

in the bedroom.

Ahh.

You were playing

with the pillows...

as if nothing had happened.

And I thought

the Lord in His great mercy...

was giving me another chance...

telling me, "Don 't give up. "

"Be strong. "

"Be a good mother. "

"For them. "

But now...

now...

what does all this mean ?

where are we ?

MRS MILLS :
Young Lydia

said the very same thing...

when she realized

the three of us were dead.

And that was the last time

she ever spoke.

But I couldn 't tell you

that before now.

Shall I make us

a nice cup of tea, ma 'am ?

The intruders are leaving...

but others will come.

Now, sometimes we 'll sense them.

other times, we won 't.

But that's the way

it's always been.

Ma 'am.

NICHOLAS :
Mummy...

Daddy died in the war,

didn 't he ?

GRACE:
Yes.

will we ever see him again ?

I don 't know.

If we 're dead, where 's limbo ?

I don 't know

if there even is a limbo.

I'm no wiser than you are.

But I do know that I love you.

I've always loved you.

And this house is ours.

You say it with me.

This house is ours.

NICHOLAS :

This house is ours.

This house is ours.

[All repeating]

Mummy, look.

It doesn 't hur any more.

No one can make us

leave this house.

Come along, Victor.

[Chain clanks]
