are you going?
I'm just going
to check on Dad.
Oh, well, I'll come with you.
No. Penny, your
Dad and I need a bit
of private time, OK?
Here, take this... in
case of anything untoward.
Metempsychosis...
Metempsychosis Pharisee.
Jesus!
"Walker, Radcliffe."
Charles Kendrick Walker.
You know, I've always
wondered about this place.
1845?
Alec?
Alec?
- What do you think?
- Aah!
What is this?
Jesus!
Different, huh?
I wanted to wait till she was
but I suppose now is
as good a time as any.
I could have done with a
couple more sessions with you,
but in the end, I had to
settle for sketching you
while you slept.
Me?
Alec, this isn't me.
Well, wait 'til she's
cast and finished.
You'll see.
You're quite difficult
to nail down.
Jesus!
What have you done to yourself?
I know it sounds
crazy, but the blood
makes the clay easier to work.
The woman in
Radcliffe's portrait.
His wife that...
Why are you sculpting
Radcliffe's wife?
What are you talking about?
It's exactly the same face,
the same position, everything!
Meg, it's supposed to be you.
Alec, he was a Rosicrucian.
He killed his wife
in some ritual in this house!
This job has pushed
you over the edge.
I think you need to
get back to therapy.
breakdown because she believes
she saw this woman
in her bedroom.
You said that was a nightmare.
You said so yourself!
- I'm going back to London.
- No.
I'm taking the kids and I'm
gonna run the job from there.
No!
I'm not going anywhere
and neither are you.
Don't you care
about our daughter?
Of course I do, but I also
care about me for a change.
This is the best
work I've ever done.
Probably ever!
And I'm not about
to give that up now!
This isn't your work, Alec.
What are you talking about!
You don't draw like this!
This is what you do. This
is your stuff and I love it!
It's real! This is not yours!
Get out!
Um... first thing
tomorrow morning
after we've had a good sleep,
I'm gonna have a family meeting.
I'm... ready to...
Go back to London and
work the build from there.
Really?
It's going to cost a lot
more money, but I think I can
persuade Bradley to step up.
Your father's not
ready to leave yet.
And, um, I'm not leaving
him here on his own.
Harper?
Mum, mum!
- Harper?
- - Mum!
Harper?
Are you there?
Mum! Mum!
Harper?
- Mum!
- Harper? Where are you?
Stuck! I'm stuck!
Mum, I'm stuck!
- Where are you? I can't...
- Mum?
Mum? Mum!
- Harper!
- - Help!
Mum, open the door!
Mum, I can't get out! Help!
Harper, is that you?
Are you there?
Answer me!
Sh*t!
Aah! For Christ's sake, Penny!
Where's Harper?
I think he's fallen
into the root cellar.
The what?
OK, I'll find Dad.
No!
Harper! Get back from the wall!
Get back from the wall!
Dad?
Dad?
Dad?
Dad?
Dad?
Dad?
Mum!
Mum! Mum!
Mum!
Mum!
Mum!
Mum!
Aah! Aah!
Oh, God. Oh, God.
Oh, God. Oh, God.
Aah! Aah!
Oh! It's you, Harper!
Oh, God. Harper, it's you!
Come on!
Let's go.
Did you see Dad?
No, I was down
there when I woke up.
How do you think
you got there?
It wasn't Dad, Mum.
It was the ghost.
Sh*t!
My keys are upstairs in my bag.
No, don't, Mum, please.
Please don't leave us!
Well, come with me, then!
- No, mum!
- We can't sit here all night.
You need your inhaler.
I'm going back upstairs.
Lock the door!
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
- W-What?
Penny?
Penny? Penny?
Shh, it's OK. We're
safe in here, OK?
Aah! Aah!
We're gonna die!
Uhh!
How are you feeling?
Where have you been, Alec?
I went for a walk on the moor.
To clear my head.
Are you sure you're feeling OK?
You're wearing a coat.
Are you leaving?
I thought I'd take the kids to
Grandpa's for a couple of days,
but I'll come right back.
But we're getting so close.
I just think we
all need a break.
Why don't we just talk
about this when I get back?
You can't abandon me.
There's so much to be done.
Why are you behaving like this?
Harper?
Penny? Where's the car?!
Penny?!
Harper?!
Where's the f***ing car?
Help me, somebody, please!?
Penny! Harper!
We need to talk.
The kids have gone!
Someone's taken the car. We
need to call to call the police!
What kids?
Let go of me! Let go of me!
Isabella, what are
you doing in here?
It's nearly time. We
have to get ready.
What's happening to us, Alec?
Who's Alec? One
of your lovers?
Stop it! Stop it!
Keep away from me! You're
losing your f***ing mind!
We made a sacred pact.
You can't lose heart, Isabella.
I think Radcliffe's trying
to possess you somehow.
You've got to be strong.
You've got to fight this!
I love you more than
life itself, Petal.
Are you OK?
I think I peed.
When I say run,
you run with me, OK?
OK. Ready? 1, 2, 3, run!
Aah!
What now?
Oh, my gosh, why isn't
there ever any signal
in this stupid place?
OK, I think it's this way.
What if the ghost
has killed Mum?
- Stop thinking those thoughts.
Well, I'm older than you.
What will we do if he has?
It's fine.
We'll get home and find Dad
and he'll know what to do.
What if the ghost
has killed Dad?
Then we'll run away
and go back to London.
OK, if we have to run, Harper,
you stay close to me, OK?
You! You there!
- Harper!
- Yeah!
Harper!
Harper!
Penny!
Oh, God.
Harper?
Uhh...
Daddy! Daddy!
Oh!
Dad? Stop it, Dad.
Aah! Ow! Dad, ow!
Dad! Dad!
Aah! Dad! Aah!
No!
Dad! Let me out!
Dad!
Dad!
Aah! Aah!
Harper.
We need to get you out of there.
Harper, stand back
from the window, OK?
You OK? OK.
Dad's gone mad.
We've got to find Mum.
Have you seen her?
No, what are we going to do?
We've got to find her.
Penny, he's changed.
He locked me in the room.
OK. Let's go.
Uhh!
Boy!
Mum!
Mum! Wake up.
Are you all right?
Yeah.
Mum come on, we have to hurry.
- I think I can.
- OK.
Oh, my God. What's happening?
The window! I think we
can reach the fire escape
from the rooftop.
- Aah!
- Ohh!
Isabella? Please?
Don't look down. Don't look down.
Please?
Please!
Charles!
Uhh!
Oof!
Why did you do that?
Are you all right?
Oh, my head! My back.
What happened?
Oh!
Oh, you scared us!
I love you, Petal.
