down there with the rest of those whores.

- I think our work here is done, brother.

- I concur.

It's been a long night. I believe

a relaxing cocktail or two is in order.

- It's the bloody morning.

- And?

You're right.

My mistake.

Let's go get f***ed.

You David?

I've come to take care of you

and your brother.

Bring you back to Ludlow.

Stewards are waiting.

You gonna invite me in?

Of course. Come in.

He said he'd meet us here, right?

Where are these kind souls

that are supposed to help us?

Huh... I don't know.

Hello?

Looking for Francis?!

What'd you say your name was again?

Cyrus.

The boy doesn't have much time.

- We need to leave now.

- There's nothing left here. We're ready.

Allow me!

Oh! Sorry.

You made me jump.

You must be the twins.

You're Wendell.

Hey.

Oh, my gosh,

you must be Darlene!

Ah... you are a beautiful thing!

You are far prettier

than I ever imagined.

Um, where's my brother?

Ah, well I believe he went out

with my boys so...

they're probably causing

all sorts of mischief.

But they shouldn't be too long.

If you wait upstairs,

we could go up to the house

and meet them.

- Jolly good!

- Cheerio!

Young man?

I mean, Wendell...

Would you mind giving me a hand?

- Sure, I'd love to give you a hand...

- Ah!

You... b*tch!

Such spirit!

Catch me if you can!

Boo!

- Do you need help, love?

- No, thank you. No, thanks.

Ah!

No! No!

Come on, buddy, don't die,

Come on, Come on...

Francis! Francis!

Francis?

Francis! Francis!

Francis!

Francis!

Francis!

Francis...

Ah! Ah!

Why?!

Why? I swear to God,

I will kill you right now!

- Answer me! Why?

- I'll show you.

Look at her teeth.

They're our kind.

What have you done to these girls?

They're breeders.

- For families who...

- You mean your family.

Yes. My family.

It's how it's always been, Francis,

to ensure that our bloodline is the one

that stays in control to rule the clan.

Yt's just that...

the breeding is no longer working.

Too many generations in a small town

where no one leaves but with...

Darlene.

There's a good chance

that she'll respond.

Ugh!

It would be easier

if you just came with me now, love.

Olly olly oxen free!

God save the Queen!

And all that crap.

Now you're going to f***in' die.

Ah!

Argh!

Ah!

I've had just about enough of you two.

You got to understand, sweetheart,

you can't win.

I'm stronger, faster

than your tiny little mind

can understand.

Ah!

Argh!

She's the one.

I just know it.

Ysn't she beautiful, Father?

Shh... Shush, now...

- Shush...

- There they are, my prized sons.

- A father could not be more proud.

- F*** you!

You see, Darlene, you've been chosen

to give life back to our family.

If it comforts you, I want you to know

that if the seed takes,

at least your children

will live like royalty.

If the seed doesn't take, believe me,

we will kill you, trying.

Darling, let's not worry

about the small details.

This is a great moment.

Let's stop wasting time.

Boys, I'm going to let you have your fun.

I'm going to be out here if you need me.

No, no, no, no!

Wendell.

Wendell... Wendell...

Come on, wake up.

Wendell...

Don't touch him.

I'm trying to help, Francis.

I should've known.

Let's hurry up and bury this bastard.

I'm f***ing knackered.

Mum says he just over by...

Ah, for f***'s sake, mate.

Who do you think you are?

- Houdini?

- And what was Houdini

without his dazzling assistant?

Go home, Riley.

You're in enough trouble as it is.

- Ah!

- You should listen to your brother.

- Please don't hurt him, please!

- My, my, my.

I can see why our baby sister

has become smitten with you.

The brooding eyes...

- The internal pain...

- Sensitive, indeed.

But what Riley

seems to be forgetting

is she doesn't have a f***ing say

in our family!

Leave her alone.

Or what?

Ah!

I like!

Let's dance, you and I!

Francis!

Well, get on with it!

I'd like to get some sleep sometime soon.

What'd you do now, Francis?

You're outnumbered, you're outplayed...

And you're simply just too late.

Francis!

Shut your face, or are you jealous

that Father is giving someone else

affectionate attention?

That's right!

We've just come from a very nice

little breakfast bumet

where your sister was the main course.

I can still smell her aroma.

I can pull it out and let you take a whip

if you'd like.

What? You never gave your sister

a good rod Gering?

Ah!

Brother... Brother!

Brother!

Brother!

What are you waiting for?

Riley! Riley! We're family!

Help me!

Riley, you're one of us!

Ri... Riley, listen to me, he'll kill you.

Please!

- Argh!

- Riley!

Yeah, that's it. That's it.

I love you, Ri-Ri!

Ah!

Please help us.

My brother's dying.

- Just please help us.

- Father?

Please help us.

I know this is a battle we can't win,

and all I ask is that you spare him,

he's a good kid.

I don't care what you do with me.

You're more resilient

than I gave you credit for.

You do understand

your other brothers are dead?

Pathetic.

Sad and pathetic.

It's okay.

I'm sorry... I'm so sorry...

No, it's okay...

I'm here.

He was right.

What have I done?

Ah... Young love.

Wendell!

They got her, Francis.

They have Darlene.

You don't understand;

They'll kill you, Francis.

Yt's suicide.

Save yourselves!

Save what's left of your family.

That's exactly why I have to do this.

There's a story from around this area.

Yt's more like a folklore, really...

About a young girl

who was led into a life of breeding.

A haphazard job.

That was her lot.

That was her duty.

This didn't sit with her

and the young man that she loved.

So they escaped...

...decided to go to some

far-flung country... who knows?

Never to be seen again.

Her maiden name was Manderson.

- She looks like...

- Your mother.

Yts your mother, David.

She never told us about her past.

Now I know why.

The Mandersons were the original family.

They're all but extinct now.

But they were the first...

...the ones that bred life to all of us.

So you could only imagine

our joy to discover

that the one last great descendant,

your mother...

...had a beautiful daughter.

A true prize worth killing for.

And in the same breath

ensures my bloodline stays in control.

Just as it should be.

- And Lenny?

- I like you, David.

If you surrender yourself,

we can make use for the boy.

He's still very young.

Francis!

Damn that girl!

Wait! No!

- This changes everything, David.

- Think of Lenny, please...

They tried to bury me alive,

kill the twins...

Why did you bring him here, David?

Why did you bring Lenny here?!

There's no other choice.

They can help him, they know how,

so settle down.

This be Damascus,

be thou cursed Cain,

to slay thy brother Abel if thou wilt.

Would you do the same?

If you truly care for the little one,

you'll show me that you can

truly surrender.

And I promise you,

I will keep my end of our bargain.

- What are you doing?

- Sorry, Frannie. No other way.
