Brahms: The Boy II (2020) Movie Script
1
Jude, I'm home.
I'm home.
I'm home.
Turn off the video game.
James.
Jude.
Gotcha!
Raw!
Shit!
Another prank?
Why do you have to keep doing this?
I got you good, didn't I?
You think you're funny, huh?
Mm.
Mm.
Okay.
Okay.
Saved by your dad.
Hi.
Dad.
What's up, mate?
You've been the big man at her house and
taking care of your mom.
Uh, more like scaring his old mom.
I use the shoe trick.
The shoe trick, now let me see.
Now, I think you must be mistaking me with
someone else, mate.
Real sneaky you too.
I can't stay long, love.
I've got to take some clients out for
dinner, but I just wanted to check in on
my two favorite people
and let you know that
I miss you both, and I
love you guys so much.
Love you, Dad.
Bye, kid, though.
Later.
You know, it's the third time this week
you've been late.
I know, I know, I've just got to finish
these deadlines and I'm done, I promise.
When I get back, maybe I can find a way to
make it up to you.
Well, Friday night, we do have the nanny.
Oh, and then I will see you on Friday
night, I do.
If you're lucky.
Night.
Good night, love.
Are you really scared, Mom?
I was.
But next time, let's get your dad.
Okay.
Looks like Mr. Brown could use a cuddle.
Mom, I'm too old to still sleep with a
teddy bear.
Well, I won't tell if you won't.
Good night.
Good night, Mom.
Jude, if you're trying to scare me again,
it's not funny.
Mom!
What are you doing?
Mom, don't!
I thought we could take a look at some of
those toys today.
Or perhaps there's something you'd like to
talk about.
You don't like coming here very much,
do you?
But you do understand why you're here.
You know Jude, if you'd like to go, all you
need to do is to say, I'd like to go now.
Five months isn't an unusual time for this
kind of selective mutism.
I've seen children stop talking for much
longer, from much less severe trauma.
Encourage him to communicate, but try not
to force it.
It has to go from him.
The more we force things, the more he's
going to pull back.
And how are the two of you holding up?
We're good, yeah.
It's... well as we can be.
Well, we're really just trying to focus on
Jude's recovery.
right now.
Well, I commend your dedication,
but Jude is looking to you now,
and if you're not getting better,
he won't get better.
Thank you.
I
thought the dog had some good things to
say.
I think Jude is a little better.
I meant actually about us healing too.
Well, I'm fine, really.
You never leave the house.
You have nightmares every night and don't
even let me touch you.
I'm not having this conversation again.
We've never had this conversation.
You've never talked about what happened or
how you feel.
What if we went away, out of the city,
someplace quiet?
You're already homeschooling Jude.
I can work wherever.
I think it would be a good chance for us
to have a fresh start.
What is it, sweetheart?
Lisa, be quiet.
I'm sorry, sweetheart.
It's okay.
I'm glad you found it.
I forgot to tell you that the service can
be a bit spotty round here.
Right then, shall I show you the house?
There is Wi-Fi inside.
I know you said you work from home.
Financial plan.
That's right.
You might have to pick your room one of
these days.
This used to be a guest house of a much
larger property, but after the owner of
the manor house passed away, some city
man, no offence, came and scooped it up.
I think he was going to restore it, but I
imagine the job got too much for him.
Looking for you, folks, though.
Some time in the countryside.
It's perfect.
I'll give you a little tour if you like.
Oh, I think we can handle it from here.
Oh, all right.
Thank you.
Take care.
Cheers.
Bye-bye.
So, what do you think?
It's beautiful.
Yeah?
You sure?
Yes.
And what about you, big boss?
All right.
I vote we try a little...
Nature exploration!
Maybe even some deer, huh?
Yeah.
What's that?
That must be the main house.
Let's check it out.
That is what I call it hands.
Come here.
Come here.
Come on, dude.
Wow.
This place must have been quite something
back in the day.
Glenview Estate.
Let's look it up.
Old house like this, probably got some
real history for it.
Yeah, forget the guesthouse.
I'm moving in here.
What do you say, Jude?
Jude?
Jude!
Mate,
don't run off like that, please.
You can't run off like that, not out here.
What's that?
Do you just find that?
Take a look.
Oh, my goodness, it's filthy, look.
Whereabouts did you find it?
Do you want to keep it?
Okay, let's get it cleaned up first.
Alright, I can't wait to have this guy in
the house.
Can I see?
I bet you have a story to tell.
Looks like he was broken before.
And put back together again.
Okay, let's go to bed now.
Come on, mate.
You sure you got everything you need the
little fella, yeah?
You just make yourself at home, put
your feet up, nice cold beer in the fridge.
I could use some of those PJs.
You dressed them yourself?
That sounds lovely.
Are you hungry?
I'll make pancakes.
I guess it's about
time for me to start my
morning commute all
the way down the hallway.
I really hope there's no traffic,
guys.
We're not.
Let's not buy the office for lunch today.
Did I mention that I was just down the
hallway?
I'll try to sleep by.
Goodbye, Jutster.
Goodbye, uh... Do we come
up with the name for him yet?
Brahms?
Wow.
Like the composer?
That's quite the name.
How'd you come up with that?
Oh, he told you.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
Of course he did.
Silly me.
All right.
Goodbye, gang.
Goodbye Brahms.
Well, what should we start with today?
Math or history?
Okay.
This is where you've found.
He found him.
Oh, get in here.
This is his private property.
I'm sorry, we're staying at the guest
house.
We were just on a walk.
I didn't know.
Of course, you're the new family.
It's where I get a lot of people snooping
around up here.
I'm Joseph, Joe.
I tend the grounds around here.
Park guard, park guard, there.
This is Oz.
I'm Liza, and this is Jude.
We can put the doll back.
Do you want to... No, no, no.
Keep it.
No one's gonna miss it out here.
Just me and Oz these days.
Unless, of course, he'd like to put it
back.
He's a little quiet.
Don't worry about that.
Not much of a talk of myself.
People think I'm crazy
for living out here on
my own, but I'm more
sane than any of them.
Real crazy is living in the city packed
together like a bunch of cattle.
Thank you, but no, thank you.
You didn't really have to walk us all the
way back.
Oh, no mind.
We're neighbors now.
I suppose we'll be seen quite a bit of
you.
Hey there.
It's a healthy-looking 12-gauge.
Or a 12-bowl.
How's where to be?
This is Joseph.
Joseph, this is my husband, Sean.
Hey.
Joseph.
I, uh, tend the grounds round here.
Keep the trouble bakers out.
Got these two red-handed.
Yeah, these two are trouble, all right.
Well, thanks for escorting them back.
Right, I'll be off then.
Let me know if you need anything.
Yeah.
Nice meeting you.
Pleasure was all my.
See you soon, little fella.
You know the local strays already,
huh?
He's right there.
He insisted on walking us all the way
home.
Come on us.
Come on.
Nice on the gas.
I mean, who the hell buries a doll in the
woods like that?
Maybe some weird little kid put it there.
I don't know, sweetheart.
Yeah, but you weren't there.
You didn't see it.
His entire wardrobe.
In this... Coffin thing.
Okay.
So what do you want to do?
You want to take the doll away from him?
Yes.
No.
I just... I just think it's all a little
bit.
But you don't think it's the doll.
That's the problem here.
What does that mean?
Nothing.
Let's just finish the dishes, yeah.
I got some word to do before we go to
sleep.
No, I want to hear what you were about to
say.
What's the problem?
Sometimes I feel like you use Jude to
avoid talking about what happened to you,
and I don't think that's healthy for
either of you.
You know, I nearly died.
and some random senseless burglary.
And I'm actually aware of that every
single day of my life.
Yes, but that's over now.
Right.
Hey, sweetheart.
We were just outside and we thought we
heard you talking.
Were you talking to Broms?
So what were you guys talking about?
Oh, the dog from this morning.
He'd he scare you.
Broms doesn't like him.
Oh.
Well, it's, uh...
That's great.
We'll let you get back to Brahms.
Thinking about watching a movie,
if you're interested.
Oh yeah?
I guess we're keeping that doll.
Are you kidding?
I love that creepy thing.
Ha, ha ha ha.
Listen, it's okay.
Honey, it's okay.
Look at me.
It's just a dream.
It was just a dream.
Look at me.
It's fine.
You're okay.
Mommy!
You're okay.
You're the nightmare?
Where's Jude?
He slept in this room, love.
You go?
Not too, yeah?
Sprang, not too.
Hey, good morning.
You're up.
I let you lie in.
You know that you could use it.
Thank you.
You.
Cooked up a little from English.
What's this?
Oh, that, yes.
Well, apparently Brahms is handing down
rules now, including he'd like his own food.
Always and forever.
Still not working.
Did you try restarting it?
Yes, thank you.
Try again.
Thanks, it's really helpful.
I
don't think it's the reception.
It must be the SIM card.
I'm gonna have to pop into the village see
if I can get a new one.
Oh dear.
What happened to Mr. Brown?
Jude.
Buddy?
What do you do this?
Come on, mate.
It's not very nice to blame him,
no, is it?
Look, we're not mad at you.
But this is no way to treat your things.
And it's never okay to lie.
So did you cut up Mr. Brown?
Okay.
Then why don't you go to your room and
finish your homework there and then when
you're ready to tell me what happened,
you can come out.
You can leave the doll here.
Gee, you heard your mum, leave the doll,
please.
Maybe it's a good thing.
He's getting his anger out.
It's pretty violent.
Really?
That wasn't funny.
You're supposed to
stay in this room and not
come out again until
you're ready to apologize.
Fine.
You can stay in here for the rest of the
day then.
Your
father and I said no doll.
Okay, I am gonna count to three and if
this door isn't open, one two three
what are you doing what are you doing here
hey I'm someone here wants to apologize
come on hey
thank you for apologizing
okay let's get you to bet you I can brush
your teeth, good boy.
You okay?
Not good.
I could have sworn I saw somebody
go into his room and then... You didn't.
It's fine.
Honestly, these pranks are getting out of
hand.
Yeah, but I thought everything wouldn't be
better once we got out of the city.
I don't know what to do.
I just feel like I'm letting you and chew
down.
Not letting anyone down.
Please let me sorry.
You feel better at some sleep.
Yeah.
I understand that some of Jude's recent
behaviors would be upsetting.
But the doll clearly is providing him with
a safe outlet to process his trauma.
Now comes the hard
part where he might... ...
and allow him to have his friend.
He's found a place with this doll where he
feels safe.
And the last thing we want to do is take
that away.
I'll send you some links with further
information.
Okay, sounds good.
Thanks, Doc.
I'll speak to you soon, yeah?
Okay, take care.
Hello, Jude.
You thought the name for him yet?
What is it?
Of course it is.
That's his name, isn't it?
What else would it be?
You've scrubbed up well, little man.
So I see you've found yourself a new
family.
Just look at that expression on his face.
Fike, it's got a secret that only he
knows.
You ever notice that?
Can I help you?
All are there.
I was just looking at it.
for Oz, my daft dog.
But you haven't seen him.
All right, no mind.
Pretty good idea where he'll be anyway.
Right, I'll be off.
You'll be good now.
Come on.
It's time to go inside.
I've chewed outside all alone.
I just left him for a second.
Sorry.
I'm sorry, sweet.
I didn't mean to wake you up.
I'm so sorry.
What are you doing?
Jude
Sorry I didn't know you were just standing
there
Why are you wearing that?
Dinner's a 15
No It's just the three
of us for dinner tonight,
June No, not tonight
Does it really matter, Eliza?
Your mom said no mate
So I was thinking inviting Liam out and
family.
I thought that maybe we could do some
company.
Yeah?
What's your uncle Liam?
Aren't you married and your cousins?
I think it'd be fun.
He's always a good laugh, isn't he?
I think we'll look to get out of the city.
Not really guests.
And family.
Yeah?
No, your dad and I make the rules in this
house, not your doll.
Mm-mm.
Eat it.
All right, come on, enough.
No, it's fine.
You can sit here until you decide you can
eat your food.
Just do as your mom says.
Please.
Well, if you won't talk to me,
will the doll?
That's because Roms is not a person.
He's not real.
He doesn't need any food.
You do.
The doll is.
his rules do not run this house.
Fine.
Stay here all night then.
What now happened?
I told you.
I believe you.
I do.
It's just so some scary drawings.
I mean it's not really surprising,
is it, considering what he's been through?
The drawing of the dog.
The dog?
There is no dog here.
There was one just like Joe.
It was dead.
It's your saying he ripped pages out of
his butt.
No, I... I don't know what happened.
I just know what happened.
I don't like what it's doing to June.
What?
I mean, all of this.
This is a lot for a little kid,
don't you think?
This isn't a light table, for starters.
Are you asking me if I did this?
Somebody's done this.
You're the only person in here with him.
Outs!
Well-eye, boy!
Come here, Outs!
Good boy!
Ready?
Yeah.
Let's do it.
Good morning, Mr.
I'll go this way.
You head off that way.
Okay.
We'll circle around.
We'll meet back at the house.
Yell if you can find him.
Jude!
Jude!
Jude!
Jude?
Jude?
Jude.
June.
Jude?
Is that you?
Don't play with us, Mommy?
Why are you doing this, June?
Jude?
I'm sorry, I scared you.
You were just playing, Mommy.
So good to hear you.
You've been looking all over for you,
didn't you hear his calling?
No.
Jude, what the hell are you doing in here?
It's not safe.
I'm sorry, Daddy.
Judy's...
You're talking?
Right, let's go.
We're not really supposed to be in this
part of the house.
It's so nice here you're talking.
Joseph, what happened in this house?
Well, we had nothing but problems in the
past.
People breaking in and causing all sorts
of trouble.
That's why I keep it locked up now.
No, I mean with the secret passages.
Obviously, they've been a fire,
huh?
Well, uh, Jerry, why don't you go shelf
Browns in the music room, right?
Stay close, mate.
There, uh, there was a family.
I lived there a long time ago.
Had a son, went a bit
mad, killed a little girl,
got birds up in fire,
wore a mask to hide it.
Lived inside the walls of the house for 30
years, never came out.
The Hillshires?
Yeah, the heels you.
And?
And the parents committed suicide,
drowned themselves.
It's a very sad story.
And the son?
Well, it all got a bit messy after the
parents had gone.
He killed the man, very nearly two others,
before he was killed himself.
But they're all dead and buried now.
What's the son's name?
Your name was Brahms.
Did you say bronze?
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to keep it from
you.
I just didn't think I'd ever come up.
Thank you for telling us.
Come on, Jude.
It's time to go home.
Hey, Joseph.
Did you ever find your dog?
Yes, I did.
I'm afraid Oz has gone to meet his maker.
I'm sorry to hear that.
So your parents tell me you've been
talking again.
Is this your new friend Brahms?
It seems like a very nice friend.
What are some of the things you talk
about?
He tells me all sorts of things.
Sometimes he tells me about the other
families he's lived with.
Oh, has he lived with a lot of families?
He wants to live with us now.
He was very angry that mommy and daddy
want to take him away.
Oh, and when Brahms gets angry, does he
say he wants to hurt someone or something?
Is there something he wants to tell your
mom and dad?
He wants to love it.
us forever and always.
So how worried should we be?
Well, if Jude had something
to do with the dog's
death, then this is a lot
more serious than we thought.
The doll might be
enabling him to shift blame
for all the bad things
that he might do.
I think it would be a good idea for me to
see him face to face.
When do you think you can bring him down
to London?
We've got guests coming today,
but we'll bring him as soon as we can.
All right then.
But I urge you keep a close eye on him in
the meanwhile.
Jude, everyone's here.
All right, thank you.
Oh, it's fabulous.
I love it.
Hello.
Well, look, there he is.
You remember your old Uncle Liam,
don't you?
Hey.
Oh, my bottom's mental.
And... Who's this?
A handsome chap.
Brandt.
Well, hello there, Brahms.
Pleased to meet you.
Any friend of Jude's is a friend of mine.
Okay, children, why don't we go outside
and play while we all have a catch-up?
Yes.
There's nothing to do outside.
There's nature.
It's like a video game, but real.
Oh, enjoy.
Come on, Jude.
Show them around.
Maybe I should go with them.
Oh, nonsense, that'll be fine.
Just stay close to the house, guys.
This is so cool.
Shut up.
I like your doll.
Thanks.
This place sucks.
There's nothing to do here.
We could play croquet.
I want to play.
Come on.
Don't touch him, Sophie.
He's mental.
No, I'm not.
My parents say you talk to that doll.
Like it's a real person.
Because you went crazy when your mom got
attacked.
And... We're not
supposed to notice.
Will.
But... They know your
mental, and I know your mental.
And your stupid doll, most mental of all.
He's fine, Liza.
Have some wine.
You do I'm good to hang out with some
other children.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
Ever since it happened, it just...
I can't seem to...
Relax.
Hey, you're with family now.
You don't have anything to worry about.
And Will won't let anything happen.
Shut up, Nutter.
Stop it, Wynn!
Ooh, you're sticking out for your Nutter
boyfriend now.
Maybe I should just smash your door.
Maybe that will make you normal again.
Tom.
We get to this party and we have literally
just walked in the door.
and his pants split right in the bum and
not just a little tear.
The whole bum!
I'm going to tell Mom!
He'll probably be happy!
Don't touch him!
Not all what!
When he'll make you wish you never came
here.
Did you buy him purple bag, sir?
I did.
Ah, cute.
Oh, it's good to see that smile again,
Liza.
That old smile of yours.
Give it back!
Nah, I don't think I will.
Come back to her!
Ooh, now you boyfriend's mad.
Why don't you come get it from me,
Mentel?
You know, I wouldn't worry about this doll
thing.
Will used to be obsessed with this
blanket.
Run, Mental, run!
Stop it, Will!
Obsessed.
But then one day I realized that it was
quite literally a security blanket.
And I think this doll could be the same
thing.
Come on, Menthal!
You shouldn't worry about it, is what I'm
saying.
I guess you're right.
Kids do all sorts of weird things.
They go through phases.
And then puff, it's gone when they're back
to their normal cells again.
Oh, you're doing what?
One, two, three.
Oh, you're doing more, buddy.
You're doing great.
You're doing great.
All right, he's good, he's good, keep
it, keep it in, keep your peeing, keep in.
Sophie, I'll get in the front.
I'll call you from the hospital.
Sweetheart, why don't you drink some of
this, it'll help you sleep.
And that'll do you good.
Everything's okay.
Well, let me go.
He wants me to live in the big house with
them forever.
He said he'd kill you and daddy if I
wasn't this friend.
friend.
He said that.
When did he say that?
He says it all the time.
I can't control him anymore.
He keeps getting stronger.
Well, no one's going to hurt mommy and
daddy.
And no one's going to hurt you.
Okay.
Okay.
Hey Lydes, it's me.
We just saw the doctor.
I think Wall's going to be okay.
So I'll call you from the car.
I love you.
Not from Randy, are you?
I'm staying at the Glenview Estates.
Glendie?
Oh, you mean the heels should place?
Christ, you couldn't pay me money to stop
there.
You won't?
You don't know?
Old family went completely
mad out there, something
to do with a son living
inside the walls for years.
You see, but that's not the only thing
that happened out there.
There were other tragedies before.
Back in the 50s, a kid killed his own
mother and brother.
Convinced the dog was speaking to him.
And it's still going on.
Last year, that city man that bought it
after the hillshut.
Went a bit mad and disappeared.
Never heard from again.
I saw him down the pub one time.
Oh, Crazy Joe.
Crazy Joe?
Well, that's what people called him like.
His name where Joe's it...
So...
Joe!
like this.
Joseph, is Jude okay?
Don't worry.
He's safe.
Safer now that he's probably ever been in
his life.
Why are you here?
Why am I here?
I'm here because he wants me to be.
Who?
He doesn't like it like it like this.
but you've done it to yourself.
I just want to know where my son is.
I will do anything you want.
Just give me my son.
I want you to listen.
He wants you to listen.
You ask me why I'm here.
It's the same reason that you are.
You may not realize it.
You may think he had a choice,
but you didn't.
He calls out to the ones that need him.
The damaged ones.
He sees your cracks and he looks through
them.
He looks inside you.
It was just a whisper at first when I
first came in.
And he was in pieces when I found him.
Look.
And then the voice said to put him back
together.
So I did.
And then I heard him.
You don't hear it, you feel it.
All through you.
You're not lonely anymore.
You're not afraid.
You must have heard...
Jude, your husband.
Browns know so much.
He knew I'd lost my family.
He said he'd bring me a new one.
And then you arrived.
He brought you.
No, no one brought us here.
Joseph.
I don't know what Brahms is, but you can
stop this.
It's too late.
Brahms and Jude are going to be one,
and it'll be beautiful.
You see, everybody thought that I was
crazy.
They thought the heels used so crazy,
but horror.
It's always been the dawn.
Even before the house,
before the Davies, the
ones before that, I
found all their old letters.
He knew that you... your boy would find
him.
That's why he told me to bury him.
They're always so curious, I'm there,
the little ones, they're like...
I must do a flame.
Joseph, where is my son?
I want to see my son!
He's in the big house!
Jude Jude Jude Please
put him down I know you don't want to hurt
anybody This isn't you Jude
Please put him down
I used to hold you just like this.
Let's just put him down.
Mommy?
We're very angry.
You and Daddy have been getting in the
way.
We're going to live here now.
Because you can't protect us.
Protect you from who?
That dog?
Well...
And those men through that night.
We do need Brahms to protect us.
Too late.
They've given us no choice.
Goodbye, Mommy.
I know Brahms is telling you what to say.
Which is why we need to take him home with
us.
Broms needs to be a member of our first.
And what kind of a family doesn't need a
mother?
Mom?
What you're done?
What you do?
Sean!
Stay back!
What you do?
It's me he'll punish.
I'm the one who could protect him.
No, no.
Brahms can't hurt you any.
It's over.
It's over.
He don't understand.
It'll never be over.
Don't shoot him.
Don't shoot him.
Calm down.
Just calm down.
You can trust me.
Shoot.
You're home.
Yes, I missed you.
I missed you too.
Really?
Perfect timing.
Hey, beautiful.
How's your day?
It was good.
I think we might sign that author I was
telling you about.
Yeah, nice.
All righty.
This looks so good.
Thank you.
Wait until you taste it, because I'm
pretty confident that this might be the
greatest cuckold van ever made upon
English shores.
I'm not even joking.
There's a whole bottle of wine in here,
so I'm not sure of...
No, okay, I'll wait for something.
Thank you.
Alright.
This looks so good.
Thank you.
Just two or three hours of my day.
You know nothing much.
Good night, my man.
You sleep tight.
I love you, sweetie.
Love you, too.
Good night, drugs.
Thanks.
Jude, I'm home.
I'm home.
I'm home.
Turn off the video game.
James.
Jude.
Gotcha!
Raw!
Shit!
Another prank?
Why do you have to keep doing this?
I got you good, didn't I?
You think you're funny, huh?
Mm.
Mm.
Okay.
Okay.
Saved by your dad.
Hi.
Dad.
What's up, mate?
You've been the big man at her house and
taking care of your mom.
Uh, more like scaring his old mom.
I use the shoe trick.
The shoe trick, now let me see.
Now, I think you must be mistaking me with
someone else, mate.
Real sneaky you too.
I can't stay long, love.
I've got to take some clients out for
dinner, but I just wanted to check in on
my two favorite people
and let you know that
I miss you both, and I
love you guys so much.
Love you, Dad.
Bye, kid, though.
Later.
You know, it's the third time this week
you've been late.
I know, I know, I've just got to finish
these deadlines and I'm done, I promise.
When I get back, maybe I can find a way to
make it up to you.
Well, Friday night, we do have the nanny.
Oh, and then I will see you on Friday
night, I do.
If you're lucky.
Night.
Good night, love.
Are you really scared, Mom?
I was.
But next time, let's get your dad.
Okay.
Looks like Mr. Brown could use a cuddle.
Mom, I'm too old to still sleep with a
teddy bear.
Well, I won't tell if you won't.
Good night.
Good night, Mom.
Jude, if you're trying to scare me again,
it's not funny.
Mom!
What are you doing?
Mom, don't!
I thought we could take a look at some of
those toys today.
Or perhaps there's something you'd like to
talk about.
You don't like coming here very much,
do you?
But you do understand why you're here.
You know Jude, if you'd like to go, all you
need to do is to say, I'd like to go now.
Five months isn't an unusual time for this
kind of selective mutism.
I've seen children stop talking for much
longer, from much less severe trauma.
Encourage him to communicate, but try not
to force it.
It has to go from him.
The more we force things, the more he's
going to pull back.
And how are the two of you holding up?
We're good, yeah.
It's... well as we can be.
Well, we're really just trying to focus on
Jude's recovery.
right now.
Well, I commend your dedication,
but Jude is looking to you now,
and if you're not getting better,
he won't get better.
Thank you.
I
thought the dog had some good things to
say.
I think Jude is a little better.
I meant actually about us healing too.
Well, I'm fine, really.
You never leave the house.
You have nightmares every night and don't
even let me touch you.
I'm not having this conversation again.
We've never had this conversation.
You've never talked about what happened or
how you feel.
What if we went away, out of the city,
someplace quiet?
You're already homeschooling Jude.
I can work wherever.
I think it would be a good chance for us
to have a fresh start.
What is it, sweetheart?
Lisa, be quiet.
I'm sorry, sweetheart.
It's okay.
I'm glad you found it.
I forgot to tell you that the service can
be a bit spotty round here.
Right then, shall I show you the house?
There is Wi-Fi inside.
I know you said you work from home.
Financial plan.
That's right.
You might have to pick your room one of
these days.
This used to be a guest house of a much
larger property, but after the owner of
the manor house passed away, some city
man, no offence, came and scooped it up.
I think he was going to restore it, but I
imagine the job got too much for him.
Looking for you, folks, though.
Some time in the countryside.
It's perfect.
I'll give you a little tour if you like.
Oh, I think we can handle it from here.
Oh, all right.
Thank you.
Take care.
Cheers.
Bye-bye.
So, what do you think?
It's beautiful.
Yeah?
You sure?
Yes.
And what about you, big boss?
All right.
I vote we try a little...
Nature exploration!
Maybe even some deer, huh?
Yeah.
What's that?
That must be the main house.
Let's check it out.
That is what I call it hands.
Come here.
Come here.
Come on, dude.
Wow.
This place must have been quite something
back in the day.
Glenview Estate.
Let's look it up.
Old house like this, probably got some
real history for it.
Yeah, forget the guesthouse.
I'm moving in here.
What do you say, Jude?
Jude?
Jude!
Mate,
don't run off like that, please.
You can't run off like that, not out here.
What's that?
Do you just find that?
Take a look.
Oh, my goodness, it's filthy, look.
Whereabouts did you find it?
Do you want to keep it?
Okay, let's get it cleaned up first.
Alright, I can't wait to have this guy in
the house.
Can I see?
I bet you have a story to tell.
Looks like he was broken before.
And put back together again.
Okay, let's go to bed now.
Come on, mate.
You sure you got everything you need the
little fella, yeah?
You just make yourself at home, put
your feet up, nice cold beer in the fridge.
I could use some of those PJs.
You dressed them yourself?
That sounds lovely.
Are you hungry?
I'll make pancakes.
I guess it's about
time for me to start my
morning commute all
the way down the hallway.
I really hope there's no traffic,
guys.
We're not.
Let's not buy the office for lunch today.
Did I mention that I was just down the
hallway?
I'll try to sleep by.
Goodbye, Jutster.
Goodbye, uh... Do we come
up with the name for him yet?
Brahms?
Wow.
Like the composer?
That's quite the name.
How'd you come up with that?
Oh, he told you.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
Of course he did.
Silly me.
All right.
Goodbye, gang.
Goodbye Brahms.
Well, what should we start with today?
Math or history?
Okay.
This is where you've found.
He found him.
Oh, get in here.
This is his private property.
I'm sorry, we're staying at the guest
house.
We were just on a walk.
I didn't know.
Of course, you're the new family.
It's where I get a lot of people snooping
around up here.
I'm Joseph, Joe.
I tend the grounds around here.
Park guard, park guard, there.
This is Oz.
I'm Liza, and this is Jude.
We can put the doll back.
Do you want to... No, no, no.
Keep it.
No one's gonna miss it out here.
Just me and Oz these days.
Unless, of course, he'd like to put it
back.
He's a little quiet.
Don't worry about that.
Not much of a talk of myself.
People think I'm crazy
for living out here on
my own, but I'm more
sane than any of them.
Real crazy is living in the city packed
together like a bunch of cattle.
Thank you, but no, thank you.
You didn't really have to walk us all the
way back.
Oh, no mind.
We're neighbors now.
I suppose we'll be seen quite a bit of
you.
Hey there.
It's a healthy-looking 12-gauge.
Or a 12-bowl.
How's where to be?
This is Joseph.
Joseph, this is my husband, Sean.
Hey.
Joseph.
I, uh, tend the grounds round here.
Keep the trouble bakers out.
Got these two red-handed.
Yeah, these two are trouble, all right.
Well, thanks for escorting them back.
Right, I'll be off then.
Let me know if you need anything.
Yeah.
Nice meeting you.
Pleasure was all my.
See you soon, little fella.
You know the local strays already,
huh?
He's right there.
He insisted on walking us all the way
home.
Come on us.
Come on.
Nice on the gas.
I mean, who the hell buries a doll in the
woods like that?
Maybe some weird little kid put it there.
I don't know, sweetheart.
Yeah, but you weren't there.
You didn't see it.
His entire wardrobe.
In this... Coffin thing.
Okay.
So what do you want to do?
You want to take the doll away from him?
Yes.
No.
I just... I just think it's all a little
bit.
But you don't think it's the doll.
That's the problem here.
What does that mean?
Nothing.
Let's just finish the dishes, yeah.
I got some word to do before we go to
sleep.
No, I want to hear what you were about to
say.
What's the problem?
Sometimes I feel like you use Jude to
avoid talking about what happened to you,
and I don't think that's healthy for
either of you.
You know, I nearly died.
and some random senseless burglary.
And I'm actually aware of that every
single day of my life.
Yes, but that's over now.
Right.
Hey, sweetheart.
We were just outside and we thought we
heard you talking.
Were you talking to Broms?
So what were you guys talking about?
Oh, the dog from this morning.
He'd he scare you.
Broms doesn't like him.
Oh.
Well, it's, uh...
That's great.
We'll let you get back to Brahms.
Thinking about watching a movie,
if you're interested.
Oh yeah?
I guess we're keeping that doll.
Are you kidding?
I love that creepy thing.
Ha, ha ha ha.
Listen, it's okay.
Honey, it's okay.
Look at me.
It's just a dream.
It was just a dream.
Look at me.
It's fine.
You're okay.
Mommy!
You're okay.
You're the nightmare?
Where's Jude?
He slept in this room, love.
You go?
Not too, yeah?
Sprang, not too.
Hey, good morning.
You're up.
I let you lie in.
You know that you could use it.
Thank you.
You.
Cooked up a little from English.
What's this?
Oh, that, yes.
Well, apparently Brahms is handing down
rules now, including he'd like his own food.
Always and forever.
Still not working.
Did you try restarting it?
Yes, thank you.
Try again.
Thanks, it's really helpful.
I
don't think it's the reception.
It must be the SIM card.
I'm gonna have to pop into the village see
if I can get a new one.
Oh dear.
What happened to Mr. Brown?
Jude.
Buddy?
What do you do this?
Come on, mate.
It's not very nice to blame him,
no, is it?
Look, we're not mad at you.
But this is no way to treat your things.
And it's never okay to lie.
So did you cut up Mr. Brown?
Okay.
Then why don't you go to your room and
finish your homework there and then when
you're ready to tell me what happened,
you can come out.
You can leave the doll here.
Gee, you heard your mum, leave the doll,
please.
Maybe it's a good thing.
He's getting his anger out.
It's pretty violent.
Really?
That wasn't funny.
You're supposed to
stay in this room and not
come out again until
you're ready to apologize.
Fine.
You can stay in here for the rest of the
day then.
Your
father and I said no doll.
Okay, I am gonna count to three and if
this door isn't open, one two three
what are you doing what are you doing here
hey I'm someone here wants to apologize
come on hey
thank you for apologizing
okay let's get you to bet you I can brush
your teeth, good boy.
You okay?
Not good.
I could have sworn I saw somebody
go into his room and then... You didn't.
It's fine.
Honestly, these pranks are getting out of
hand.
Yeah, but I thought everything wouldn't be
better once we got out of the city.
I don't know what to do.
I just feel like I'm letting you and chew
down.
Not letting anyone down.
Please let me sorry.
You feel better at some sleep.
Yeah.
I understand that some of Jude's recent
behaviors would be upsetting.
But the doll clearly is providing him with
a safe outlet to process his trauma.
Now comes the hard
part where he might... ...
and allow him to have his friend.
He's found a place with this doll where he
feels safe.
And the last thing we want to do is take
that away.
I'll send you some links with further
information.
Okay, sounds good.
Thanks, Doc.
I'll speak to you soon, yeah?
Okay, take care.
Hello, Jude.
You thought the name for him yet?
What is it?
Of course it is.
That's his name, isn't it?
What else would it be?
You've scrubbed up well, little man.
So I see you've found yourself a new
family.
Just look at that expression on his face.
Fike, it's got a secret that only he
knows.
You ever notice that?
Can I help you?
All are there.
I was just looking at it.
for Oz, my daft dog.
But you haven't seen him.
All right, no mind.
Pretty good idea where he'll be anyway.
Right, I'll be off.
You'll be good now.
Come on.
It's time to go inside.
I've chewed outside all alone.
I just left him for a second.
Sorry.
I'm sorry, sweet.
I didn't mean to wake you up.
I'm so sorry.
What are you doing?
Jude
Sorry I didn't know you were just standing
there
Why are you wearing that?
Dinner's a 15
No It's just the three
of us for dinner tonight,
June No, not tonight
Does it really matter, Eliza?
Your mom said no mate
So I was thinking inviting Liam out and
family.
I thought that maybe we could do some
company.
Yeah?
What's your uncle Liam?
Aren't you married and your cousins?
I think it'd be fun.
He's always a good laugh, isn't he?
I think we'll look to get out of the city.
Not really guests.
And family.
Yeah?
No, your dad and I make the rules in this
house, not your doll.
Mm-mm.
Eat it.
All right, come on, enough.
No, it's fine.
You can sit here until you decide you can
eat your food.
Just do as your mom says.
Please.
Well, if you won't talk to me,
will the doll?
That's because Roms is not a person.
He's not real.
He doesn't need any food.
You do.
The doll is.
his rules do not run this house.
Fine.
Stay here all night then.
What now happened?
I told you.
I believe you.
I do.
It's just so some scary drawings.
I mean it's not really surprising,
is it, considering what he's been through?
The drawing of the dog.
The dog?
There is no dog here.
There was one just like Joe.
It was dead.
It's your saying he ripped pages out of
his butt.
No, I... I don't know what happened.
I just know what happened.
I don't like what it's doing to June.
What?
I mean, all of this.
This is a lot for a little kid,
don't you think?
This isn't a light table, for starters.
Are you asking me if I did this?
Somebody's done this.
You're the only person in here with him.
Outs!
Well-eye, boy!
Come here, Outs!
Good boy!
Ready?
Yeah.
Let's do it.
Good morning, Mr.
I'll go this way.
You head off that way.
Okay.
We'll circle around.
We'll meet back at the house.
Yell if you can find him.
Jude!
Jude!
Jude!
Jude?
Jude?
Jude.
June.
Jude?
Is that you?
Don't play with us, Mommy?
Why are you doing this, June?
Jude?
I'm sorry, I scared you.
You were just playing, Mommy.
So good to hear you.
You've been looking all over for you,
didn't you hear his calling?
No.
Jude, what the hell are you doing in here?
It's not safe.
I'm sorry, Daddy.
Judy's...
You're talking?
Right, let's go.
We're not really supposed to be in this
part of the house.
It's so nice here you're talking.
Joseph, what happened in this house?
Well, we had nothing but problems in the
past.
People breaking in and causing all sorts
of trouble.
That's why I keep it locked up now.
No, I mean with the secret passages.
Obviously, they've been a fire,
huh?
Well, uh, Jerry, why don't you go shelf
Browns in the music room, right?
Stay close, mate.
There, uh, there was a family.
I lived there a long time ago.
Had a son, went a bit
mad, killed a little girl,
got birds up in fire,
wore a mask to hide it.
Lived inside the walls of the house for 30
years, never came out.
The Hillshires?
Yeah, the heels you.
And?
And the parents committed suicide,
drowned themselves.
It's a very sad story.
And the son?
Well, it all got a bit messy after the
parents had gone.
He killed the man, very nearly two others,
before he was killed himself.
But they're all dead and buried now.
What's the son's name?
Your name was Brahms.
Did you say bronze?
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to keep it from
you.
I just didn't think I'd ever come up.
Thank you for telling us.
Come on, Jude.
It's time to go home.
Hey, Joseph.
Did you ever find your dog?
Yes, I did.
I'm afraid Oz has gone to meet his maker.
I'm sorry to hear that.
So your parents tell me you've been
talking again.
Is this your new friend Brahms?
It seems like a very nice friend.
What are some of the things you talk
about?
He tells me all sorts of things.
Sometimes he tells me about the other
families he's lived with.
Oh, has he lived with a lot of families?
He wants to live with us now.
He was very angry that mommy and daddy
want to take him away.
Oh, and when Brahms gets angry, does he
say he wants to hurt someone or something?
Is there something he wants to tell your
mom and dad?
He wants to love it.
us forever and always.
So how worried should we be?
Well, if Jude had something
to do with the dog's
death, then this is a lot
more serious than we thought.
The doll might be
enabling him to shift blame
for all the bad things
that he might do.
I think it would be a good idea for me to
see him face to face.
When do you think you can bring him down
to London?
We've got guests coming today,
but we'll bring him as soon as we can.
All right then.
But I urge you keep a close eye on him in
the meanwhile.
Jude, everyone's here.
All right, thank you.
Oh, it's fabulous.
I love it.
Hello.
Well, look, there he is.
You remember your old Uncle Liam,
don't you?
Hey.
Oh, my bottom's mental.
And... Who's this?
A handsome chap.
Brandt.
Well, hello there, Brahms.
Pleased to meet you.
Any friend of Jude's is a friend of mine.
Okay, children, why don't we go outside
and play while we all have a catch-up?
Yes.
There's nothing to do outside.
There's nature.
It's like a video game, but real.
Oh, enjoy.
Come on, Jude.
Show them around.
Maybe I should go with them.
Oh, nonsense, that'll be fine.
Just stay close to the house, guys.
This is so cool.
Shut up.
I like your doll.
Thanks.
This place sucks.
There's nothing to do here.
We could play croquet.
I want to play.
Come on.
Don't touch him, Sophie.
He's mental.
No, I'm not.
My parents say you talk to that doll.
Like it's a real person.
Because you went crazy when your mom got
attacked.
And... We're not
supposed to notice.
Will.
But... They know your
mental, and I know your mental.
And your stupid doll, most mental of all.
He's fine, Liza.
Have some wine.
You do I'm good to hang out with some
other children.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
Ever since it happened, it just...
I can't seem to...
Relax.
Hey, you're with family now.
You don't have anything to worry about.
And Will won't let anything happen.
Shut up, Nutter.
Stop it, Wynn!
Ooh, you're sticking out for your Nutter
boyfriend now.
Maybe I should just smash your door.
Maybe that will make you normal again.
Tom.
We get to this party and we have literally
just walked in the door.
and his pants split right in the bum and
not just a little tear.
The whole bum!
I'm going to tell Mom!
He'll probably be happy!
Don't touch him!
Not all what!
When he'll make you wish you never came
here.
Did you buy him purple bag, sir?
I did.
Ah, cute.
Oh, it's good to see that smile again,
Liza.
That old smile of yours.
Give it back!
Nah, I don't think I will.
Come back to her!
Ooh, now you boyfriend's mad.
Why don't you come get it from me,
Mentel?
You know, I wouldn't worry about this doll
thing.
Will used to be obsessed with this
blanket.
Run, Mental, run!
Stop it, Will!
Obsessed.
But then one day I realized that it was
quite literally a security blanket.
And I think this doll could be the same
thing.
Come on, Menthal!
You shouldn't worry about it, is what I'm
saying.
I guess you're right.
Kids do all sorts of weird things.
They go through phases.
And then puff, it's gone when they're back
to their normal cells again.
Oh, you're doing what?
One, two, three.
Oh, you're doing more, buddy.
You're doing great.
You're doing great.
All right, he's good, he's good, keep
it, keep it in, keep your peeing, keep in.
Sophie, I'll get in the front.
I'll call you from the hospital.
Sweetheart, why don't you drink some of
this, it'll help you sleep.
And that'll do you good.
Everything's okay.
Well, let me go.
He wants me to live in the big house with
them forever.
He said he'd kill you and daddy if I
wasn't this friend.
friend.
He said that.
When did he say that?
He says it all the time.
I can't control him anymore.
He keeps getting stronger.
Well, no one's going to hurt mommy and
daddy.
And no one's going to hurt you.
Okay.
Okay.
Hey Lydes, it's me.
We just saw the doctor.
I think Wall's going to be okay.
So I'll call you from the car.
I love you.
Not from Randy, are you?
I'm staying at the Glenview Estates.
Glendie?
Oh, you mean the heels should place?
Christ, you couldn't pay me money to stop
there.
You won't?
You don't know?
Old family went completely
mad out there, something
to do with a son living
inside the walls for years.
You see, but that's not the only thing
that happened out there.
There were other tragedies before.
Back in the 50s, a kid killed his own
mother and brother.
Convinced the dog was speaking to him.
And it's still going on.
Last year, that city man that bought it
after the hillshut.
Went a bit mad and disappeared.
Never heard from again.
I saw him down the pub one time.
Oh, Crazy Joe.
Crazy Joe?
Well, that's what people called him like.
His name where Joe's it...
So...
Joe!
like this.
Joseph, is Jude okay?
Don't worry.
He's safe.
Safer now that he's probably ever been in
his life.
Why are you here?
Why am I here?
I'm here because he wants me to be.
Who?
He doesn't like it like it like this.
but you've done it to yourself.
I just want to know where my son is.
I will do anything you want.
Just give me my son.
I want you to listen.
He wants you to listen.
You ask me why I'm here.
It's the same reason that you are.
You may not realize it.
You may think he had a choice,
but you didn't.
He calls out to the ones that need him.
The damaged ones.
He sees your cracks and he looks through
them.
He looks inside you.
It was just a whisper at first when I
first came in.
And he was in pieces when I found him.
Look.
And then the voice said to put him back
together.
So I did.
And then I heard him.
You don't hear it, you feel it.
All through you.
You're not lonely anymore.
You're not afraid.
You must have heard...
Jude, your husband.
Browns know so much.
He knew I'd lost my family.
He said he'd bring me a new one.
And then you arrived.
He brought you.
No, no one brought us here.
Joseph.
I don't know what Brahms is, but you can
stop this.
It's too late.
Brahms and Jude are going to be one,
and it'll be beautiful.
You see, everybody thought that I was
crazy.
They thought the heels used so crazy,
but horror.
It's always been the dawn.
Even before the house,
before the Davies, the
ones before that, I
found all their old letters.
He knew that you... your boy would find
him.
That's why he told me to bury him.
They're always so curious, I'm there,
the little ones, they're like...
I must do a flame.
Joseph, where is my son?
I want to see my son!
He's in the big house!
Jude Jude Jude Please
put him down I know you don't want to hurt
anybody This isn't you Jude
Please put him down
I used to hold you just like this.
Let's just put him down.
Mommy?
We're very angry.
You and Daddy have been getting in the
way.
We're going to live here now.
Because you can't protect us.
Protect you from who?
That dog?
Well...
And those men through that night.
We do need Brahms to protect us.
Too late.
They've given us no choice.
Goodbye, Mommy.
I know Brahms is telling you what to say.
Which is why we need to take him home with
us.
Broms needs to be a member of our first.
And what kind of a family doesn't need a
mother?
Mom?
What you're done?
What you do?
Sean!
Stay back!
What you do?
It's me he'll punish.
I'm the one who could protect him.
No, no.
Brahms can't hurt you any.
It's over.
It's over.
He don't understand.
It'll never be over.
Don't shoot him.
Don't shoot him.
Calm down.
Just calm down.
You can trust me.
Shoot.
You're home.
Yes, I missed you.
I missed you too.
Really?
Perfect timing.
Hey, beautiful.
How's your day?
It was good.
I think we might sign that author I was
telling you about.
Yeah, nice.
All righty.
This looks so good.
Thank you.
Wait until you taste it, because I'm
pretty confident that this might be the
greatest cuckold van ever made upon
English shores.
I'm not even joking.
There's a whole bottle of wine in here,
so I'm not sure of...
No, okay, I'll wait for something.
Thank you.
Alright.
This looks so good.
Thank you.
Just two or three hours of my day.
You know nothing much.
Good night, my man.
You sleep tight.
I love you, sweetie.
Love you, too.
Good night, drugs.
Thanks.
