I want them

to adopt me.

And they love you.

No, something is not right.

"Sorry I haven't

been in contact.

"Writing going great.

"Be back once finished.

See you then."

Smiley face and...

Who the f*** puts

smiley faces on the end of

text messages at his age?

Like I said, Jill,

he's a f***ing child.

There's the baby.

Happy now?

I still think

you should leave him.

I'll check in on you

later in the week,

see how you're getting on.

It's time to move on,

baby sister.

Help me.

Listen to me, listen...

They didn't tie you up.

Help me.

Detective McQueen:

Don't worry, love.

We've known about

these people for years.

Untie me.

I'll get us both out.

No. Can't.

Help us.

They killed my brother

and my boyfriend!

Not just him.

There has been others.

What do you mean,

"it's too late"?

We have known about

these people for years.

For god's sake,

come on.

Don't worry about it, love.

We have known these

people for years.

Jill:
Listen to me. Listen.

We have never found

anyone alive before.

What about her?

What are you

waiting for?

Help us!

You are meant to help!

This is what happened to

the last woman we helped.

She's dead...

And so are you.

Josephine:
He must

have damaged him

when he touched him.

How dare you touch

my baby boy.

Oh...

Mark!

Mark! Mark! Mark!

Mark! Mark! Mark!

Henry:
I want to

hear the match.

Marcus!

Jill:
Mark!

I keep worrying, Henry.

What if it doesn't

happen in time?

What if one of us

doesn't make it?

Couldn't bear to

live without you, dear.

Life is so short.

If it ever came to that,

I'd make sure

we go together.

"I often go to listen,

"when all is silent."

It's just a tranq...

He came back and then they

took all their

belongings and left.

When?

The day after you came.

It's a shame,

my wife and i

really liked your sister.

We asked her to

stay but she left.

She usually doesn't do

anything without

checking with me first.

Well, we think he gave her

some kind of ultimatum.

I really don't understand

what she saw in him.

Can you give me moment?

I need to make a call.

Operator:
This person's

phone is switched off.

Well, thank you.

Goodbye.

Will he be a problem?

I think we might need to get

some more plastic sheeting.

Somebody help me!

No one can hear you.

Why are you doing this to me?

We had a child.

But he died, because of me.

She will never forgive

unless I make up.

I failed

Josephine once.

I won't this time.

Josephine won't bury him

until she has a new baby.

Please, somebody help me.

Don't think you're so special.

Don't you know

how many people

have been sacrificed,

giving us back our baby?

Oh, we don't keep them here.

They are spread across London.

Same as I will

do for Marcus.

But I kept him as a memento,

seeing he likes

joking so much.

Thought he could

keep you company,

try and make you laugh.

We prayed every night...

...and god

gave us you.

I know who you are!

You don't own me!

Nobody owns me!

The queen doesn't own me!

I will sh*t on your face!

Come out, I know

who you both are!

I know who you both are!

Get off my property.

Get off my property.

I'm sorry, sir.

Oh...

It's your menstrual cycle.

Dated,

for when you're

ripe for seed.

Josephine assures me

that her shade

matches your skin tone.

You don't know what pain is.

Shh.

Oh, no.

Mark,

I'm sorry for what I said.

It's "Henry".

It's Henry.

Say "Henry," sweetheart.

Say it for me.

Say my name.

It's Henry.

Say "Henry," please.

Say it, say it, say it.

Say "Henry."

Once the baby is born,

what do we

do with her?

Can we keep her?

I know what you

have in mind, mister.

No, we can't keep her.

We have to get rid

of her, just like we

got rid of the others.

Oh, that's sad.

I thought we

could keep her.

Two more months to go.

I will start on

the baby's room.

Henry.

Henry!

Henry, its time.

We'll have to cut

the baby out.

No. No. No!

No! No!

You'll kill the baby.

She will run.

Where to?

She can't get

past us both.

Do it, Henry.

Okay.

Josephine:
Lay her

flat on the floor.

Hold her down.

Push my baby out!

Or I will cut it out

and leave you to bleed!

Push my baby out!

Push!

Yes.

Massage its chest!

We got our

baby boy back, Henry.

Our baby boy, Henry!

We got our baby

boy back, Henry.

It's our baby boy.

Come at me and

i will kill it!

Get our baby, Henry!

We can't lose

our baby again.

I'm so...

No!

We had a child,

but he died.

What if one of us

doesn't make it?

I couldn't bear to

live without you, dear.

Shh.
