The Covenant

- So it is with heavy

hearts, we lay to rest

your daughter Elizabeth.

But let us rejoice in the

knowledge that you have

welcomed her into your

kingdom of everlasting light.

She is in the company of

Jesus Christ, who died

and now lives.

May she rejoice in your

kingdom, where all tears

are wiped away, united together

with her father in heaven.

Now, and forever, amen.

- Adam?

Are you okay?

- Turn it off.

- Adam I think...

- turn it off I said.

Sarah?

- Yeah?

- It's all your fault.

- Oh!

- Hasn't changed a bit.

- Not since mom died in it.

- Home sweet home.

Well, power's on at least.

Let's see about the water.

- Eww.

- Yeah it's been more

than a few years,

all sorts of gunk.

Can't wait to see the toilets.

Sarah can you help

me out with this?

- What?

- I didn't say anything.

- This is chino's?

- Yeah.

- Ah it's terrible.

- Yeah.

- What are we doing?

- What do you mean?

- Why are we here?

- I thought coming

home might help you.

- Help me?

- Make a fresh

start with things.

Away from all that

happened last year.

- Right, and this place is just

full of wonderful memories.

- Things are gonna get better.

- Better?

Is that what we're doing here?

We're just gonna go back

and live in the past

and pretend like

everything that happened

never actually happened.

- That's not what I said.

- My daughter's dead,

my husband's dead.

And now I'm back living at home

which I something I

swore I would never do.

- I know it's not gonna be easy.

What you've been through.

- Yeah.

It's just strange.

- Strange how?

- This sudden interest

you're showing in my life.

- Sarah you're my

sister, I love you.

- Come on for 10 years

I was a name on your

Christmas card list, what

did you meet your niece once

when she was a baby?

Even after she got sick you

couldn't be bothered to call

and try to be her uncle, get

to know her before she...

- No.

You're right.

Growing up you were

always there for me, you,

always had my back with mom,

and when everything went

to sh*t I should've

been there for you.

But I'm here now.

- Yeah.

Here you are.

Hmm.

F***, broke my tooth on

this rubbery goddamn pizza.

- Are you okay?

- I'm going to bed.

- Come on, give us a signal.

Yeah?

- Can I come in?

- Of course.

Hey, how's the tooth?

- It hurts.

- You want some ibuprofen?

- Nah.

Look, I know you've been trying.

And I really do appreciate it.

- I love you sis, and I'm

sorry I didn't always show it,

but, I do.

- I'm sorry too.

- You have nothing

to be sorry for.

- Look at what I found.

- Oh my god, look at my hair.

- Yeah it was

definitely the 90s.

- We look like kid 'n play.

- I missed you.

- I missed you too.

- I wanna go to bed.

- Okay.

- Good night.

- Night.

- Mommy?

- My baby.

- Ah f***.

- Richard?

- Morning.

- What are you doing?

- We've got a busted pipe,

came down to make my coffee

this morning, found myself

swimming in the blue lagoon.

- This place should

be condemned.

- It's a water leak, not

the end of the world.

- Sorry.

- I gotta go out,

pick up a few things,

are you gonna be okay

on your own for a while?

- Yeah I'm not a child Richard.

- I didn't mean it like that.

- It's okay.

- I just wanna make

sure, you know.

- Yeah.

- Can I get you

anything while I'm out.

- Coffee.

- Okay, I'll make us some

breakfast when I get back.

- Okay.

- Richie?

- Excuse me.

- Richie Doyle, it's me, Jan

Thompson, you went to school

with my boys, I was a

friend of your mother's.

- Oh Mrs. Thompson, hi.

- Hi, oh it is so

good to see you.

- Yeah, same to you.

- What brings you back to globe?

- Ah, I guess we just

missed the place.

And I thought Sarah could use

a little country living again.

- Oh Sarah's back too,

oh that's wonderful,

I have to stop in on her.

Molly Hanning,

she's a little uhm...

- strange?

- You said it, not me, anyway

I don't wanna keep you,

but it is so nice

to see you again.

- You too.

- Take care.

- One half through two, to

one quarter to an eighth.

- Always the hard part.

- What's that?

- Finding the right fit.

Every part has its

perfect counter.

But finding that match

is what takes time.

- Yeah, sure.

I uh, I need copies

of these two keys.

- All right, back in a sec.

- I'm sorry, can I help

you with something?

- Maybe, or maybe I

can help you, Richard.

- Have we met?

- You lost your niece

last year Mr. Doyle.

- That's right.

- She was sick but to

go so fast like that,

what was it again, got herself

drowned, in the bathtub?

- I don't know who the hell

you are but stay away from me.

- Come on Mr. Doyle you

know something's not right

with her story, Adam knew

it, he felt it in his bones.

- I'm not gonna tell you again.

- Okay, with the bolts and the

keys, that's gonna be 12.55.

- Who is it?

- It's Jan Thompson, from next

door, this is my friend Amy.

Is this a bad time

for you Sarah?

- Mrs. Thompson.

- Well look at you,

you're so beautiful.

I always knew you'd grow

up to be a heart breaker.

- You're so sweet,

please come on in.

- Apple pie for you.

- Thank you, you shouldn't have.

- Oh it's a store bought kind

but still I just love 'em.

This is my friend Amy.

- Hi Amy.

- Hi nice to meet you.

- Would you ladies

like to have a seat?

- Well thank you.

- Sure.

- I'm so sorry

about all the boxes,

I haven't really gotten a

handle on the unpacking yet.

- Ah, not at all.

- I haven't had a chance to

go shopping yet, but, uhm,

I was just making

some herbal tea.

- Tea would be lovely, except

no sugar or cream for me,

doctor says I gotta watch

the sweets and the dairy.

- Yeah, plain's fine for me too.

- I'll be right back.

- Ah, who's this

lovely young lady?

- I'm sorry what?

- Look at her Amy,

isn't she adorable.

- Oh yeah she is.

- Is she yours?

Well I can tell you for

schools, you're gonna wanna

avoid Roosevelt, but Chapman

has a great little program,

I'm on the school

board there, so I can...

- Lizzy actually

passed away last year.

- Oh, I'm so sorry.

- That's fine.

- Thank you.

Oh god, get it off of me, my

cross, get it off, get it off!

Get it off, get it off of me!

- God!

- Are you hurt what happened?

- It was the weirdest

thing, I, all of the sudden

I felt like my

chest was on fire.

- Oh my god.

- Here, please.

- No, no it's fine, I'm

fine, no it's fine, I'm fine,

thank you I'm leaving.

- It's fine.

- I am so sorry!

Let me out!

Richard!

- Sarah?

- Get me the f*** out of here!

- Oh, okay, okay, I got

you, I got you, okay.

Okay...

You feel better?

- No I don't feel better.

- Okay just calm down.

- I don't like it here,

there's something wrong

with this place.

- So what has happened exactly?

A broken doorknob,

a popped light bulb.

It seems to me we're just

like par for the course,

when living in a

broken down old house.

Look, you're tired,

you're stressed out...

- so I'm imagining things?

- Okay I didn't say that.

It's just, you've been through
