The Baby in the Basket (2025) Movie Script

It was a white wolf
with burning yellow eyes.
The wolf watched her from the mist.
She said it stared into her soul
and made her mind fill
with dark thoughts.
Screaming
Thou shall not be afraid
for the terror by night.
Every temptation, every guilty secret.
She told the mother superior
and hasn't spoken since.
Maybe a vow of silence, maybe a
fear of what may pass her lips.
By the third day, the presence
of the wolf had been felt
by several of the nuns.
Now, I'm a man of faith
and I'm also a believer
in my own two eyes.
I never thought I'd see a wolf.
And did you see a wolf?
I saw a sheep.
Must have had some kind of illness.
Its eyes were a sickly yellow.
This island's so remote.
How did a sheep get here?
Must have got loose from
one of the supply ships.
One thing's for certain; a wolf didn't.
And the nuns, they were
relieved when you told them.
Well, the idea was planted.
The deed was done.
Annalise hasn't been the same since.
Nor, Lucy
Lucy's the Kraut?
Yeah.
Unfortunately that's why she's here.
She was attacked in London.
Couple of outbound Tommy's
who heard her accent
One of the unfortunate
consequences of war lad
she suffers from the
actions of a bunch of politicians
As do we all I suppose
Something on your mind, boy?
No, it's just you mentioned the war.
Sometimes when I'm down at the shore,
late at night, I can hear bombing.
We must be close to the
Norwegian coast. You ever hear it?
Didn't think we were that close.
Mind you, my hearing's all
shot 'cause of the Boer war.
It's possible on clear nights, I suppose.
I heard a plane the other day.
I think it was a Dornier 217 or a 317
Kraut plane?
Aye
Your hearing's good lad.
You're wasted here.
So you're not thinking of
going back on the front line.
No, I did my part.
I had my fill of war about your age lad.
Got out early after
picking up the sickness
at the turn of the century.
Almost killed me.
Some of my friends
weren't so lucky either.
That wasn't the only sickness I picked up.
Jesus.
Sorry.
You better be careful.
You don't want to let
her, let the Mother Superior.
See you doing all that.
She'll accuse you of blasphemy
and she'll never forgive you.
Even if it is accidental.
No
Three fingers, lad.
That's your holy trinity.
Two fingers into the palm, then it's up.
Down, left. right.
If you're to be my replacement,
you need to keep her on side.
That's all I'm saying.
The Battle of Normandy
has reached its third week.
Mr. Churchill was quoted as
saying, I can state to the house
that this operation is
proceeding in a thoroughly
satisfactory manner.
That's all for the news headlines.
Our radio play for this evening is
The Witching Hour
Based on the stage play by Miroslav Petkov
And adapted from the
novel by Apeksha Nichrelay
Starring; John Milburn,
Joel Barnett, Andy Gatenby
Rudy Ledbetter, Caine Stewart
Toby Osmond, Robert John Corrigan,
Daryl Gerard Morrissey and Hillary Tory.
Valerie, you may say, grace,
Bless us, oh Lord, for these
thy gifts, which we are about
to receive from thy bounty
through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Amen. Amen.
How is your knee sister?
Better.
The grazes have healed.
Sisters, I do not wish to
discuss grazed knees at dinner.
Something amuses You Eleanor?
Well, she wouldn't have
grazed her knee if she hadn't
have run from a rancid sheep.
Don't mock me, sister.
I know what I saw. It was a wolf.
Tell them, Lucy, you saw it too.
There's no point asking her about a
wolf when a cat got a tongue.
- Sister Eleanor,
- Beware of false prophets that come
to you dressed as sheep, but
inwardly are ravenous wolves.
Nonsense
Enough.
Sister Eleanor, I suggest you eat your
bread back in your room.
You have a boat to catch tomorrow.
Get an early night so that
perhaps you'll be more
agreeable in the morning.
I want to go with Eleanor
tomorrow. I want to leave.
Good evening, sister.
I thought you might want to
talk or perhaps read over a passage?
You thought wrong.
God can help you sister,
but only if you let him
Drink?
Oh, no. Thank you. Only at dinner time.
I thought as much
Leave me alone.
I'm concerned about your
sister. I wish I could help.
I thought maybe if you don't wish to speak
to the reverend mother, then
perhaps a fellow sister.
Ah.
So it's your will to
bring me closer to God.
Tell me Sister Agnes
tell me of a time that you felt him
guide you to something positive.
Well, I know that he watches,
he keeps evil from my door
and he protects me from temptation.
All I hear is temptation.
All I see is damnation.
You know why?
Why?
God doesn't love you. None of us.
That's not true. He loves me and you.
We fulfill our duties and
spread his joy. I have
a special role to play.
Listen, you pious little bitch.
I'm sick of hearing it all the time.
Did you believe Annalise about
the wolf?
She was mistaken.
Was she?
Yes.
Cause I saw it watching you as
you walked through the gardens.
Don't tease me.
Keep listening, Sister Agnes.
And wait.
You'll hear her voice soon
enough, but it won't be God's
Laughing
Sister.
Did you really see what I saw?
Come with me.
I have a feeling in the pit of my stomach.
There's a darkness
surrounding St. Augustine's.
One that wishes to infest us.
Will you come?
May God have mercy upon your soul.
What's wrong with Lucy?
Nothing
Yet.
Are you sure you wish to leave, Sister?
You have such respect here
and such high standing, second
only to the mother superior.
No one wishes to listen to my concerns.
- What concerns?
- I believe I've been given a warning, Valerie.
Something
terrible's going to happen, I-
I don't wish to be here when it does.
What will happen?
I don't know exactly
The weather forecast
warns of a storm coming
You could wait till it's passed.
I know. But we'll be
gone before it arrives.
Besides, perhaps the
storm itself is a warning.
Can you manage from here girls?
Sisters!
Sorry, sisters.
We could have managed
without you entirely.
Aye, well I do as I'm
told sister, unlike some
You should be taking a General's order.
Not a Reverend Mother's.
Safe journey sister.
I hope the waters aren't too choppy.
We'll be fine.
Are you sure you wish
to return here, sister?
Singing
You let them finish lad.
Show some respect.
You're to quietly leave the chapel,
you're to fix a cupboard in
Lucy and Valerie's room.
Then come back here
afterwards, alright?
Singing
Jesus Christ, I'm going to hell.
Sorry. Didn't mean to
startle you Frulein.
What are you doing in our room?
You needed a screw.
I beg your pardon.
The drawer, sorry.
Amos wishes you to finish
your work in the chapel.
He's fetching supplies
ahead of the storm tomorrow.
We expect power outages.
Good day Sisters.
Storms have spread across the
channel causing significant
damage along the southeastern
coast of England.
Government weather experts
have yet to comment on
how this will affect the
ongoing conflict in France.
More storms are expected
early this evening
and into the week ahead
with further disrupt and expected to act-
Enter
Well, what do you want?
I'm curious, mother.
About what?
Why does Sister Eleanor go
to the mainland so much?
I've not been at St. Augustine's long,
but it's already been three occasions.
Sister Eleanor has a difficult
relationship with the Lord
and his teachings.
She lost her faith.
I don't that she ever
found it. Why are you asking?
I just wanted to understand her better.
I thought maybe I could
help her see the light.
And what makes you think you
would be more effective than I
or even Valerie?
No, I I didn't mean to suggest. Sor-
Do you think she's beyond hope?
No one is beyond hope.
Morning
It's alright love, I won't bite.
Sorry, sister.
I'd like to pray. Please.
Fine. I'll leave you to it.
You have to help it. It's dying.
Screaming
Heavenly Father, I've been restless.
I wish to speak to you. I'm lost.
Your plan sent me to St. Augustine's,
but I don't know why.
Something, something here feels different.
What brings you out
here so late, young lady?
I'm sorry mother. I was restless.
I I just wanted to speak to God.
If you must stay up
late, do so in your room.
You know the most
remarkable thing about God.
He hears you wherever you may
be. Now return to your room.
Sorry. Mother.
What troubles you? Sister.
I worry about Sister Eleanor.
How so?
Do you get along well with her.
She's our sister.
We all live here together
in St. Augustine's.
We are to respect one another.
Abide by the word of God.
Getting on well is for school children.
Well, yes, but surely a
pleasant relationship is
better than a sour one.
I will be honest with you
as God would expect me to be.
Do not let Eleanor influence you.
She lacks faith
and does not respect our
Lord like you and I do.
Then why is she here?
Why does Mother Superior let her stay?
Much like God,
we do not question the
Reverend Mother's wisdom.
Of course.
Do you know why she visits
the mainland so often?
Her problems run deeper
than a crisis of faith.
Old sins and temptations
continue to trouble her.
As I say, do not let
her tongue poison you.
I do not believe she'll ever find God,
and I'm not sure she'll
survive without him.
The wind is picking up.
Valerie, if you could
please lead us in prayer.
Bless us oh Lord, for these
thy gifts, which we are about
to receive from thy bounty
through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Amen.
I had like a word with
you. Amos, follow me.
Have you secured the windows and doors?
Yes. Is that what you
wanted to see me about?
I'm concerned about your replacement.
Well, he's, he's still
working on the airs
and graces, but he's very
good with his hands.
Frankly, Amos, it's
his hands that worry me.
I don't follow.
I saw him roaming the convent
grounds late last night.
Well, maybe he was
just out for some air.
There's plenty of air
outside the caretaker's
cabin as you well know.
Now, as much as I expect my
sisters to abide by their curfew
and stick to the confines
of the convent after dark,
I'm aware some of them may wander,
Well, I well, I'm
sure you've got nothing
to concern you about.
Reverend Mother.
All my sisters are holy,
but some have lived lives
away from the church.
That is something I've come to terms with
young sister Agnes, however,
is quite angelic looking.
I should imagine quite
appealing to a young man.
She was out in a chapel last night.
Well, I'm quite sure Daniel
knows not to approach the,
the, the sisters while they're alone.
Are you that sure of his
character?
I'll be forthright Amos,
young men are all the
same to me, driven by lustful,
urges and irrationality.
Unfortunately for the
upkeep of these grounds,
Daniel is a necessary evil.
Well, rest assured I will
make sure he tows the line
Ensure that he does.
I do not wish this to become an unsafe
and uncomfortable environment
for my younger sisters.
Their purity is a virtue
and blessing, not a prize to be taken.
That'll be all.
What's going on?
Someone has
left a baby on the doorstep.
Who, where are they?
Gone
Let me see.
Do you think the mother came by boat?
In this weather? Impossible.
But how? Who brought the child?
Hmm.
A boy. I'd say a few weeks old.
Should we look for the
person who dropped the baby?
It's dark and stormy.
I know, but I worry for them.
What is happening?
You should be a sleep young lady.
I heard a child crying.
Yes. That's because there's one here.
I'll fetch milk and try to get
a signal on the wireless.
Valerie, I want you to
go and fetch Daniel.
Get him into search the vicinity.
What, what about the child?
Yes stay here and watch
over him. I'll be back soon.
Me, I...
You have a duty
to care for all those
who are require it Sister Agnes.
That includes infants. Valerie, follow me
Lord is this some kind of sign?
What should I do?
Please. I, I beg you
for some kind of answer.
Calm down little one.
You should go back
sister. It's dangerous.
You don't know the
island well enough yet
Devil! DEVIL! DEVIL!
What was that?
Shut up!
No we must kill it!
Stop it!
No let me go!
Calm down sister!
No let me go. NO he must not live!
Let me go, get off me, he's the devil!
Devil! No!
No you have to stop him, it's evil.
I'm telling you it's evil.
Why you not listening to me? Please stop.
You need to stop him. No! It's evil!
Let me out! Let me out! Please let me out!
God will judge you. He will judge you.
Hello little one, you little angel.
Oh, hello.
Yes.
Agnes has been shut away.
He likes you.
I've always wanted one.
What will you call him?
I beg your pardon
The boy.
He'll need a name, won't he?
Peter
Hmm.
Valerie.
Have Lucy fetch some towels
and fresh clothes for you
And Daniel?
Yes, of course. It shall
have to be his own overalls.
You watch yourself lad
just remember where you are.
I never knew I was
so repellent to women.
They're all taking a wide berth from me.
Yeah. Well do me a favor will you.
Keep yourself covered up
and have some respect
for the nuns alright.
Amos, hang on.
You left this at dinner.
Oh, thanks lad.
What is it?
It's gold.
I figured that. What's it for?
It's a reminder of the the war.
What I had, what I lost,
who I lost.
I've done things I ain't proud of.
It'd be wrong for me to try and forget it.
Have you seen to Agnes?
What do you think of all this Lucy?
Just speak will you. Enough is enough.
Lucy, we've all had enough of
you. Okay? You've just talk.
You've made your point. Come
back here and answer me.
- Lucy.
- Lucy, please.
You want to get me out
here. You can't leave me here.
Lucy! Lucy, you have
to do something please.
That baby is evil. Can you see it? Lucy?
Wait, wait, wait.
I saw you with Daniel yesterday, Lucy.
I saw what you did.
There is something dark within
you that you can't control.
Why do you stay silent
to try and appease God?
And you're still silent?
Because he doesn't answer
And he won't.
Just like, he won't answer me.
Because we have been given
a test of will, Lucy.
We have to stop the evil
before it takes us over
and spreads like a virus.
Lucy, Lucy repent and
heaven can be yours again Sister.
It's almost too late.
It is too late for me.
God has punished me.
Just like he did before.
Lucy, please. I've foreseen death here.
Death and suffering at St. Augustine's.
Just as Annalise must have too.
We're doomed! Lucy we're doomed!
I know.
No! No Lucy! Stop! Damn you!
I'm sorry.
Who's there?
Why are you here?
What have you done?
Sinner!
Screaming
Amos is preparing the coffin?
Aye, he's in the work shed.
It won't be too fancy.
We do our duty. We live
our life without frivolities
and death is no different.
Long as it keeps the worms out eh?
Sorry sister.
I have a bluntness.
At least that's
something God can forgive.
What are his limits?
I've no time to listen to you
and you have no time to
test my patience Daniel.
If you could please just clean
the blood from the chapel
floor so that we may use it again soon.
I worship you little one.
Greatness beckons I think.
Sorry to disturb you mother.
There you are.
Have you prepared Lucy for burial?
Yes. Amos is preparing the coffin
and Daniel is cleaning the chapel.
Something's on your mind. Sister.
It's about Lucy.
I have prayed for Lucy
as I'm sure you have.
Will God forgive her
for taking her own life?
The Bible says
I know very well what
the bible says young lady.
Pray for her.
It was an accident that befell Lucy,
- But she, she-
- Enough.
We shall have a christening later.
One light extinguishes just
as a new light ignites.
That is God's way.
Should we wait until we can
move Lucy out from the chapel?
No, we will leave her in
holding in one of the back rooms.
I'm sure her spirit
remains and will attend.
Check our supplies and
ensure there's been no
damage from the storm.
Another front is due tonight.
Eleanor!
Finally,
What are you doing here?
I sheltered from the
storm; someone locked me in.
How much have you drunk?
Okay, let's get you up.
She's lovely.
Mother's on her way
Any food?
Bread, but it's as hard as a brick.
I'll bake some fresh later.
- We must have aspirin.
- We ran out weeks ago.
If you notice there's a war on.
So what happened to Lucy?
She took her own life.
Oh, she chose to go to hell then
Eleanor-
You're trying to tempt me,
aren't you? Forbidden fruit.
You're a vulgar beast. You
aren't fit to wear the habit.
How long have you been back?
- What day is it?
- What a stupid question. Do not test me.
A sister has died. We've
another shut away at the moment.
I'd rather not make it two.
Ah, yes. Poor little Agatha.
Agnes.
- I don't care.
- That's your problem, young woman.
You don't care about anyone.
Certainly not for the word of God.
If I have no faith in
myself, why should I put it
in anyone else? Besides some
of you think so little of me.
God could help you. Sister.
- Has he done much for you lately?
- Sister
Eleanor, please just sit down.
Eleanor, I will not idly sit
and let you waste your life.
You might feel a constant
need to rebel against me,
but I'm not here to fight you.
You've been sent to the
mainland several times
for your own benefit.
Did you bring the baby Eleanor?
What on earth are you talking about?
Baby crying
Speak of the devil.
Is that a baby crying? A real baby?
You didn't bring the child?
I was drunk. Mother,
but not that drunk.
Can you at least tell
me when you got in?
I don't recall. Everything is distorted,
but there was no baby
of that much I'm certain
Did you even leave with Annalise?
Have you been back to the
mainland as you were supposed to?
Of course I have.
Can you remember anyone
else on the boat with you?
I don't think so. Look, please, can I,
can I go lie down? I feel peculiar
Very well.
But be warned, Ellenor,
God might have patience,
but I don't as much as he.
This is your last chance
at St. Augustine's.
We shall have a christening
for Peter as soon as possible.
Clean yourself up!
Help her back to her
room and check on Agnes.
Feed her, but do not let her out.
- Have you calmed down?
- Yes. Can I come out?
Mother wishes you to
stay a little longer.
I'm sorry about Lucy.
Who told you?
She came to visit me
before she killed herself.
What she told you?
No, I saw it.
The baby showed me what
would happen here.
You're lying.
I don't lie.
Valerie, tell me, honestly,
have you ever felt God
really felt his hand?
Of course I have.
And has he told you to
vanquish the evil here?
Please just eat and rest Sister.
I have to prepare for a christening.
It will try to tempt you.
You will hear it speak
just as it spoke to me.
And then you must do your duty.
I didn't see you get in last
night. What were you doing?
Nothing. I had to check out
something in the supply cabin.
What exactly?
If you must know. I
took a bottle of wine.
You shouldn't be out in
this sort of weather, mate.
Aye well, I didn't fancy
sitting in here listening
to your old war tales.
I'm just joking. Old man.
You see anything of Lucy last night
before she went to the chapel?
Are you going to the christening?
That's none of our business lad.
Our job is to keep this
place ticking over.
There's another storm brewing
and it's gonna be
stronger than the last one
Feels like the end of days.
Hey, you shouldn't joke about that
Here, hold him.
Hold him close to your
sister, against your chest.
Our father who art in
heaven. Hallowed be thy name.
The kingdom come, thy
will be done on earth
as it is in heaven.
Give us our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom. The
power and the glory, forever.
Amen. Amen. Amen.
Whispering voices
What's the matter?
Valerie, what on earth are you doing?
The baby?
What is it?
I don't feel well, please excuse me.
Whispering voices
No, no, no more! No more!
God, why do you not protect me?
What must I do to earn your love?
He spoke to you, didn't
he? You heard the devil.
I don't know.
You know it wasn't God. That
much we both know for sure.
I I didn't sleep well last
night. I've not eaten much.
I must be delirious.
The others will hear it soon.
Let's go together, sister.
Let's stop it before it turns us all.
- What we're wrong?
- If God knew me to be mistaken.
He would stop me. He would tell me.
You're suggesting the death of a child.
The child could be innocent.
He's not innocent.
He's a vessel for evil. Okay.
I'd be saving the boy's soul.
Help me. Get me enough time alone
with him and I'll let him go peacefully.
You're mad. No I I have to sleep.
I have to rest my mind. I'll
be better in the morning.
Follow me, I need to tell you something.
What? Agnes, wait.
How did you get out?
She will harm me.
She's been fooled
into servitude by evil.
- What are you talking about?
- I can't get
to the demon alone and I don't know
how much longer I can resist it.
Oh-
If you were to do something for me,
I would do something for you.
For salvation I would do anything. Daniel.
And I know all of your dark thoughts.
I don't have any dark thoughts.
Poor young Daniel
fit, young man unwilling
to fight for king and country.
- I was sent home.
- You could still fight
physically. You're able.
- Stop it.
- Why not get something that you want?
A desire, even a sinful
'cause there's nothing that I want.
I can feel in your
chest that you're lying.
I know what you want.
Think of all the things
that you could do to me.
Take me back to the convent and fuck me
I hope you've sobered up now.
Just a headache.
I should check on Valerie.
Let her rest. She's had a heavy burden
to carry in the absence of her sisters
Absence?
Lucy has died and Agnes has got mad.
What's your excuse, young lady?
I'm I'm sorry to disturb you.
Have you prepared the coffin?
Lucy is at rest now. Covered.
As soon as the storm's
over I'll, I'll bury her.
- Hmm?
- Can you fix the power?
The old generator is done for.
I can't fix the main line
until it's clear outside.
How long do you think it'll
be until the storm passes?
I can't say
Mother
Agnes.
Agnes
Calm down. Put the knife down.
You're a sinner. Why
should I listen to you?
Step away from the child
I'm warning you.
Let me too. God's will
and I will make it quick.
This is not God's will child
Screaming
As God is my witness.
I'll pierce your heart with this Agnes!
Now leave.
LEAVE!
Screaming
What are you doing?
What did you put in his drink?
Something to relax him.
It'll help with the pain.
- Pain.
- You don't know what happened?
- No.
- Agnes stabbed him in the leg.
I had to stitch and dress the wound.
Is he okay?
He'll be fine,
but he's in a lot of pain.
- Where is Agnes?
- I have no idea.
Mother has locked us off
in her office for safety.
And I have yet to inform
Valerie. When did you get back?
- About an hour ago, I think.
- Did you see Agnes?
Hmm
What do you think about the baby?
- It's a baby.
- Do you think Agnes is right?
No. I think she's confused.
Don't you think there've
been some strange occurrences
since the baby arrived?
What are you suggesting?
I am going back to the
convent. Keep an eye on Amos.
Demonic laughing
Satanic voices
No, Lord. No more.
Help me Lord. Evil wishes to
tempt me. Please. I need you.
Help me or I'll defy you!
Satanic voices
Help me, help me, help me.
Fuck you!
Satanic voices
Lord help me, help me. Save me!
No, no, no more, no.
Oh Lord, please, please help. Help me.
Please. Please fire. Help
me. Help me. Fuck you.
Hysterical laughing
What? You think you're
going to save me? Save me!
Stop! Please, please where are you?!
You fucking cunt!
- Stay away. Agnes.
- You don't want help,
but you are just wailing for it.
- You're sick.
- I've seen the light Sister
Look at you, the state of you,
and you think it's me who is sick?
Where's Daniel Eleanor? I, I need help.
Wait, you don't want God's help.
- Did he speak to you?
- No.
And I don't think he's
gonna speak to you either.
He must. After all I
gave, he must help me
Then test him.
Test God's love for you.
I used to admire your devotion to him.
It was almost as much as my
own. But now I just pity you.
How do I test him?
Take it.
How is this a test? I can't
Put the rope over the rafters.
Put your neck in the noose and hang.
If the rope breaks, then God loves you.
But if it doesn't, at least you'll know.
You can walk free if you survive.
Agnes
Hush little baby.
Don't say a word.
Mama's gonna buy you a mocking bird.
If that mocking bird don't sing
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring
What are you doing here?
Look, Amos is safe. I'm
better off helping here.
There's no sign of Agnes
Hush little baby don't say a word
Mama's gonna buy you a mocking bird.
If that mocking bird don't sing.
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring.
Screaming
You can't take me demon!
Mother! Open the door!
You can't take my soul.
Alright stand back, I'll kick it in.
Mother.
- Mother who did this to you?
- Mother, please.
Peter
Where's the baby?
Agnes must have taken Peter.
She must have done this.
Can you find her?
Yeah. I'll look for
her. You tell Valerie
I'll take care of Mother first.
- I'm sorry, Reverend mother.
- I've done things
that I regret, things
that I can't take back.
I don't know how I can make this better.
Bless me, Father for I have sinned
For the sake of your name, Lord,
forgive my iniquities.
Though they are great
Satanic chanting.
- Eleanor?
- No,
Agnes.
What are you doing? You must see mother.
You must listen. You're not right.
Mother is dead.
You, you killed her?
No, not me.
She made a choice and
that choice killed her.
Where's the, where's the baby?
Safe
Amos, I need to ask you,
would you protect Peter?
As much as could
Would you give your life for the child?
To save the child I would
Why'd you ask?
God hasn't been answering
my prayers, I know only his word
as the Bible has taught us.
But he's not lent me
his ear or his wisdom.
Agnes
Agnes, you know he doesn't work that way.
Then why does the devil speak to me?
He offers me a mission.
He offers me a sanctuary in a new world.
He offers me guidance.
Agnes, there is no
spirit that speaks to you.
I've heard him. Maybe
a demon, maybe Satan.
I just know it's not God.
Amos, who do I follow?
Who? Who do I listen to?
Listen to yourself. Agnes.
What do you think is right? What is wrong?
Valerie?
Valerie!
Wait. Don't kill him.
I wasn't going to. What
are you planning Agnes?
He needs me
One minute you want
him dead now you don't.
He has great things planned,
a whole new world in his image.
Christ, a dribbling
wee baby told you that
He has a great destiny,
but he needs a mother
and father to raise him.
I'm to be the mother.
- Congratulations.
- Why don't you be the father
When the storm passes?
We're gonna take him back to the mainland
and get him into proper care.
- You're a full
- Agnes.
I'm not the one that's
been talking to a baby.
Peter's told me things.
I know everything that you've
done, Daniel. I know it all.
Every dark thought, every perversion,
every guilty sin.
You'll never be forgiven by God.
But you could be loved
by Peter, even by-
QUIET! You've gone mad.
Have I?
Were you not here when Lucy died?
I saw the way you looked at her,
the way you looked at all of us.
You can barely contain your desire.
Only God wishes me pure Daniel.
I can give you what you want.
How do you know what I want?
I've seen your dreams.
He showed me.
Oh yeah. What did he show you?
Can't you see what's happening?
Who dies next Agnes?
Don't do it.
You don't need this.
Satanic voices
- What is it?
- He's watching
Ah!
Screaming
Our Father who art in
heaven, hallowed be thy name
I've never asked you for
anything, Lord, and truth.
I don't know how to pray.
I've no tongue for it.
I've done things that I
regret, things that I,
I can't take back.
But if you can't grant me
forgiveness, then please,
I beg you.
Grant this child salvation
from St. Augustine's
You may have forsaken us all here.
But please
Please
Don't, don't forsake the child
No, no, NO!
Agnes please. You have to
listen. Listen to God.
God doesn't love you. None of us.
- Forgive me Agnes, I was wrong.
- You weren't wrong.
The devil did speak to me.
Give me the axe Agnes.
I can stop the devil.
I can stop those voices talking to you.
Peter says, you are lying.
He says that you are
biding your time, waiting
for the perfect moment to kill me.
What would you like to
hear what Peter wants?
- What does he want?
- He would like one-
more sacrifice.
Screaming
Beautiful
Eternal rest grant unto her oh Lord.
And let perpetual light shine upon her.
May she rest in peace. Amen.
Amos, it's Eleanor
Amos?
Screaming
This is Eleanor at St. Augustine's.
Can anyone hear me? Over.
This is Eleanor at St.
Augustine's. Is anyone there? Over.
You'll hear a voice soon
enough, but it won't be God's
Hush little baby. Don't say a word.
Mama's gonna buy you a mocking bird.
And if that Mockingbird don't sing,
mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring.
And if that diamond ring is brass,
mama's gonna buy you a looking glass.
And if that looking glass gets broke,
mama's gonna buy you a billy goat.
And if that billy goat don't pull,
mama's gonna buy you a cart and bull.
And if that cart and bull turn over,
mama's gonna buy you a dog called Rover.
And if that dog called Rover don't bark.
Mama's gonna buy you a horse and cart.
And if that horse and cart turn round,
You'll still be the sweetest
little baby in town.
