mind you - give off the tiniest color.
It's faint, like a haze.
It's the only thing
I ever see in the darkness.
Papa has it, too.
Do you wonder what your color is?
Well, that I won't tell you.
It's not ladylike to speak of such things.
You shouldn't even have asked.
(bird flying overhead)
You run like a boy.
Thank you.
I know why you denied my sister.
When I was younger...
...you used to hold my arm
when I walked.
Then suddenly, you stopped.
One day, I even tripped
in your presence, and nearly fell.
I was faking, of course,
but still, you did not hold me.
Sometimes we don't do
things we want to do
so that others won't know
we want to do them.
- What?
- (frog croaks)
(yelps and laughs)
What's this? Oh, berries.
What a splendid present.
(Lucius) Be cautious.
You are holding the bad color.
This color attracts Those We Don't
Speak Of. You must bury it.
You ought not to pick
He picked it from his pocket.
What's wrong?
Your breathing has changed.
(Lucius) I've never set eyes
on these before.
You did not pick that now.
Where did you find this?
"Today at Resting Rock,
Noah Percy handed lvy Walker berries
of the bad color."
"When asked where
for they were not like
others I have seen,
he pointed to the drawing
upon Resting Rock."
"It is my belief that Noah Percy
has entered the woods,
and has done so on many occasions. "
"It is also my belief that,
because of his innocence,
those creatures who reside
in the woods did not harm him. "
"This strengthens my feeling
that they will let me pass
if they sense I am not a threat."
(Alice) We shall speak of the town,
just this once,
and we shall never speak of it again.
Your father left for the market
on a Tuesday,
at a quarter past nine in the morning.
in the filthy river, two days later.
Why'd you tell me this blackness?
So you will know the nature
of what you desire.
I do not desire it.
My intentions are true to my word.
I think of nothing
but the people of this village.
Forgive me.
I am but scared for my only son's life.
I am not the one with secrets.
What is your meaning?
There are secrets
in every corner of this village.
Do you not feel it? Do you not see it?
That is for my own well-being,
so the evil things from my past
are kept close and not forgotten.
Forgetting would be to let them
be born again in another form.
Then let us open it.
No!
Perhaps we should speak
- He may be able...
- He hides, too.
He hides his feelings for you.
Oh.
Sometimes we don't do things,
yet others know we want to do things,
so we don't do them.
What nonsense are you saying?
You needn't worry.
Nothing will happen to me.
You remind me of a colt sometimes.
What makes you think
he has feelings for me?
(growling)
(rustling)
(growling)
There's no escape!
Oh, hello.
I was just playing a game with Noah.
The rascal must have gone
to hide in my house again.
(loudly) Houses are against the rules!
(whispering) He knows that.
Are you all right?
We're tending to the children tonight,
Kitty and l. I should be with her. Be well.
I heard my parents speaking of you.
I know of your request to go to the towns.
I think it is noble,
but I do not think it is right.
(Lucius) Are you not angry
you have no sight?
(whispers) I see the world, Lucius Hunt.
Just not as you see it.
What of Noah, then?
What if there are medicines for Noah
that could help him be still and to learn?
May we stop speaking of this?
It is putting knots in my stomach.
Kitty is to be married.
She's found love, again,
with Christop Crane.
You think it an odd choice, right?
You know, he won't sit back in his chair
for fear of setting wrinkles on his shirts.
But he does have
a gentlemanly way about him...
...and he does care for my sister deeply.
I am blessed as well.
My older sister is now spoken for.
I am now free to receive
interest from anyone...
...who might have interest.
(children laughing)
(Kitty) I'm going to get you. Oh!
I got you. I got you.
Can you fetch a blanket for me?
(Ivy) Have you seen Noah?
(loud thump)
Lucius?
Lucius?
(growling)
(whimpers)
(breathes heavily)
- (man) Hurry, to the cellar!
- (woman) Oh, good gracious!
(shouting and bell ringing)
- They're coming. They're coming.
- Close the door.
- Noah, close the door, OK?
- They're coming.
- Close the door.
- Coming!
Here we go.
- Noah, come on inside!
- (Noah) Come on inside!
(man) Everyone, inside!
Everyone, inside!
(bell ringing)
(grunting)
- (Noah) They're coming. Come on in.
- Let's close the door.
- (Ivy) Lucius is outside, walking.
- (Noah) They're coming.
He's inside safe somewhere!
Please, close the door!
He'll come back to make sure we're safe.
Ivy! Ivy, please.
(scratching)
(growling)
- (Kitty) Please.
- No.
Don't let them in.
(grunting)
(growling)
Come on in.
(thumping)
(rumbling)
(rustling)
(thumping)
(loud thump and hinges creaking)
(Walker) By the markings we find
this morning on our homes...
...I feel they were warning us.
They acted as if threatened.
(August) Creatures have never
attacked us without reason.
Does anyone here know of a reason...
... why these events may have occurred?
Who has written this note?
(clears throat)
"Please read so that all may hear."
"l have brought this burden upon us."
"On the day before last,
- into Covington Woods..."
- (crowd gasps)
"...and was witnessed there
"l am deeply sorry."
"l have shamed myself and my family."
"l pray that my actions
"With deepest sorrow, Lucius Hunt."
(crowd murmuring)
Is he in trouble?
(laughing)
Do not fret.
You are fearless in a way
(Walker) We are grateful...
...for the time we have been given.
(man) Yes. Yes, indeed.
(all start talking)
Cheers.
(distant singing)
I had an elder sister.
Mrs. Clack, you've been keeping secrets.
Oh, Kitty reminds me of her so.
(Ivy) What manner of person was she?
- Saucy.
- Oh.
And we fought endlessly.
May I ask her name?
Why did she not come
to Covington Woods?
My sister did not live
past her 23rd birthday.
A group of men took her life
in an alley by our home.
Please rise!
Come on.
She's not going to squeeze
my shirt like that, is she?
(muffled conversation)
Many blessings
on this most joyous of days.
It was a rare and lovely ceremony,
was it not?
Glorious.
I saw your hand move to your eyes
on more than one occasion.
That must have been dust of some matter.
(scream)
(scream)
(scream)
(boy) Mr. Walker!
- (boy) Mr. Walker!
- (boy #2) Mr. Walker!
(murmuring)
(man) Behind them.
(man #2) How did she deal
with this brightness?
(woman) Help us out.
(man #3) Where are
the rest of them?
Speak up.
- They're in the village.
