Original subtitles

So you're a witch.

- I wouldn't...

...that's not really what I was saying.

That's what I heard.

It wasn't...

I don't know, what you'd expect.

Do something.

What do you mean?

Magic. A trick.

Yeah, I wish.

Or are you not allowed to, in front of us...

norms.

I really didn't...

I couldn't stay.

Couldn't stick with it.

It wasn't...

me.

But she made you.

Hmm?

Your mum.

She raised you in that...

Coven.

Coven.

That's actually what they called it? - Mm-hm.

- Lots of lonely, middle-aged women.

Lots of...

feathers.

Mothy smells.

Hmm.

My mum was a lonely, middle-aged woman.

She just drank.

And had affairs.

I prefer your mum's way of dealing with it.

More fun.

More social.

What would they do?

When they met?

Drink wine.

And brandy.

Tell the married women to leave their husbands.

So they never did any spells or anything?

- Rituals, I guess, sure.

- What were they like?

- Boring.

Eyes closed.

Candles.

Hold a wrinkly pair of hands.

But it was more like...

...meditative.

Communal.

- Sounds nice.

- I don't know.

It wasn't... me.

When did you leave?

Eighteen.

When I could.

I was always meant to live in the city.

I'm not...

rural.

Mm.

I think I am.

Deep down.

I've never lived there before, but...

I know I'd like it.

Sounds peaceful.

I think I'd like to end up there.

One day.

Eventually.

And she gave no indication of any intent

to end her life on this trip?

But you were aware of her mental state.

And any recent or previous episodes...

of which there were several.

And she'd been in a state of decline?

Over the course of your

two-year relationship?

She left the house while you were asleep.

You'd had an argument, a fight,

the night before.

You'd been drinking, yes?

I'm sorry.

We're just trying to...

Well, we have to get a complete picture.

For the report.

You see?

It's an...

unusual circumstance.

We're just trying to get the whole story.

And what did you do

when you discovered she was missing?

You have some fucking nerve calling me, you know.

I felt like I should.

Did you.

Really.

Don't.

Feeling guilty?

Please.

Because you should, you know.

It's your fault.

You know that, right?

Couldn't see the signs.

Couldn't do anything to stop her.

To help her.

If you really loved her

you would have known she was unhappy.

You would have done something.

To—to make it better.

Make it alright.

I tried.

I tried so hard.

I thought this trip would help, I really did.

What is this?

You want me to say I forgive you?

That I don't blame you?

Well I won't.

And I do.

You killed her.

As far as I'm concerned.

You hear me?

I just...

I wanted to say I'm sorry.

Sorry?

Fuck your sorry.

Sorry won't bring my daughter back, you bitch.

Don't fucking call me again.

Murderer.

Hello, Steepwood Care?

Hi, yes, um...

I'd like to inquire about visiting hours?

Hiya, you've got a visitor.

It's your daughter.

Isn't that nice?

Okay, well, I'm just gonna be down the hall

if you need me, I won't be going far.

You can always ring your mum's help button.

Hi, Mum.

Thought I'd come, I...

I'm staying at the cottage, Mum.

Yeah.

Um.

Took a little trip.

Thought I'd better see you.

While I'm here.

How are you?

They looking after you okay?

You look, um...

...well.

You know, I, um...

I came here with someone.

To the cottage, I mean.

I, uh...

I brought someone with me.

It was my girlfriend.

I'm sorry you, um...

that you never met.

You'd have liked her, Mum.

Really, I...

I really think you would have.

But she's, um...

Fuck, it sounds almost...

sounds ridiculous just coming out with it like this, but...

While we were here, she, um...

You know, I, um...

It's funny, I...

I've been reading a lot of your books.

Your—your texts, you know.

Your coven stuff.

Your witch shit.

It's been...

It's helped.

Actually.

Helping.

I kinda like getting lost in it.

Believing that something might...

That something could help.

Ironic, I know.

Finally I take an interest, and you're...

She's gone, Mum.

She took her own...

And I couldn't do anything.

I couldn't stop it.

She...

...she hanged herself in the fucking forest.

Mum?

Mum?

Mum, oh my God—Mum!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Is everything okay in here?

It's me.

It's me, look at me.

Keep going.

You're okay, you've got it.

Do you want, uh...

Are you hungry, or...

thirsty?

I'll - I'll get you some...

Hold on.

Here, drink it.

It's - it's water.

Yeah?

Can you...

Can you say something?

Do you know who I am?

Can you speak?

Do you know how to speak?

Who am I?

Who do you think I am?

Do you know your name?

Do you know who you are?

Who do you think I am?

Oh my God.

You spoke, you...

You said something, I...

It's you, it's...

Sorry.

It's just exciting.

To hear you say something.

I wasn't sure if you could...

if you were going to be able to speak.

Why?

- Well.

- Because...

You hadn't said anything yet.

Didn't say anything all last night.

All morning.

Last night?

- Yes.

I was born last night.

In a way.

I was cold.

It was dark.

Everything hurt.

In my chest, my legs.

My head.

- Everything...

blurry.

I could feel something.

You.

Are you my mother?

No.

No, I'm not, that's...

No.

You.

Why do I...

You're someone important to me.

Someone really important to me, and...

And I'm someone...

the same.

For you.

Why would you do this for me?

Why am I important to you?

Because I love you.

Like a mother.

- No, I...

Not like a mother, like...

No.

I'd like to show you something.

Okay?

Look at this.

What do you see?

I see...

Go ahead, you can take it.

This is you.

Yes.

But...

who am I with?

A woman.

She...

Come with me.

You see that?

You see us?

Do you...

recognise yourself?

Is that okay?

Yes.

I showed you that photo because...

That woman.

Yes.

I have her face.

She has yours.

You're the same.

The same?

I'm sorry.

Did that...

How did that make you feel?

I don't know.

My skin... prickled.

You want to touch me?

Yes.

You want to have sex with me?

Do you remember having sex?

Do you remember ever having sex?

No.

When would I have?

- That woman...

Who is she?

She was with me.

My partner.

We were in love.

Where is she now?

She died.

Hanged herself.

In this forest.

And—you were in love.

- Yes, we were.

Why would she hang herself if you were in love?

I...

Because...

When people are...

When they get sick, you can't always help.

Can't always know what to do.

Love isn't...

You can't change that.

If they're sick.

Can't fix it.

Not always.

I think you're going to be disappointed.

I'm not what you're looking for.

- You are.

You absolutely are, you just...

need to remember.

Need to realise it, that's all.

But...

I can help you.

You don't have to go through that alone.

I can sleep downstairs.

If you like.

On the sofa, I...

I don't want to crowd you.

It's okay.

I'm your guest.

If anything, I should sleep downstairs.

No, it's...

I don't want you to.

If you're happy.

I can...

I might read for a bit.

Okay.

Still feel a bit wired.

I like to wind down a bit before I sleep.

That's okay.

Do you want to?

Read?

What are you reading?

This is one of my mum's.

She has lots of things like this.

It's...

it's plant stuff.

Herbal remedies, that kind of thing.

But from a...

a witch perspective, I guess.

Your mum is interested in this?

- Well.

She was.

She's sick now.

In a home.

They say she doesn't really know who I am.

Does your mum being a witch have anything to do

with how you brought me out of the ground?

- I don't think I actually feel like reading.

Sorry, I...

I'm restless, I...

I'm really restless.

- I'll put the light out.

Goodnight.

I'm sorry, I...

I thought I could do it.

I thought it's what I wanted.

You were expecting her.

Can we stop doing that, please?

Doing what?

Referring to you as two different people.

- But we are.

But you're not.

This would be the first time we've had sex.

Yes.

No, I...

I just thought that we...

That we would fit, that...

that it would make sense.

I don't think I'm very good at it.

No, it's—it's fine. Just...

Let's just sleep. Yeah.

Are you fucking mental?

- What is this? What's going on?

Is this...

Is this a set-up? Are you robbing me?

What are you?

Twins?

Where are your...?

Why...

Are you okay?

Are you in trouble?

Is that, it are—are you...

Is something wrong?

You must be freezing...

Oh, fuck.

It's okay, it's okay.

I'm—I'm here.

Here, come on. Put it on, put in on.

You're—you're wet, why...

What is this stuff? Where have you been?

There we go. There we go. There it is.

Alright. Talk to me, alright? Um...

Do you understand me?

You from round here?

You running from something?

Being chased?

I've got a coat in the car. Come on.

I'll get the heating on.

Both of you. Come on.

- Follow us. Let's go.

It's okay.

Hold still, I'm still not gonna hurt you.

Jesus. You look...

I mean, you're totally identical.

- You're sisters, right?

Twins?

Where's your family?

There, how's that?

Okay, I'm just gonna move us out the road

and, uh, then I'll call someone.

I'll call the police. Alright?

Okay. Look, I don't know what's going on here.

If... if you're in shock, or you don't understand me, or whatever

but I'm gonna call the police. Alright? And they'll look after you.

They'll find your... where you're supposed to go.

I'm gonna take this outside.

I'll be just out there. I'll leave the heating on.

Here.

I've got some...

Eat something.

Yeah? Good?

Um... alright, I'm gonna be... I'll be just out there.

You get that?

It's hard to think.

I don't want to go away.

I want to go back to the woods.

Do you know what police are?

They'll lock us up.

We'll never see the sun. Not once.

I want to see the sun.

Don't you?

The forest is cold. We're hungry.

- It was warm in the ground.

Why did we come out?

I was happy there.

I was...

I could sleep.

Why did we wake up?

The tree...

I remember something to do with the tree.

I'm scared.

I don't want to be taken away. By anyone.

We need food. Shelter.

Do you know what police are?

Nasty. That's what.

We'll need to be quick.

Yes.

No turning back.

No.

Stay close to me.

Yeah. Yeah, if you just follow the road, you'll be able to find us.

And—please, look, please hurry.

Um, I don't know what's wrong with them but they won't speak, they won't talk.

They haven't said a fucking word since they got here.

And they were naked, man. Naked and—and wet, and covered in...

Hey. Hey!

What are you doing? What are you doing, come back!

You've got my clothes, you've got my...

No, they've—they've just run off.

Do I have a family?

I now, is it?

Do I?

Mm-hmm.

What do I have?

You have a mother.

She's... hard work.

Okay.

- And a father, but you don't really see him.

Or hear from him. Anymore.

Huh. Why is that?

Your mum's a bitch, your dad's an arsehole.

Too much work to put out with both, so you picked one.

Chose your mum.

Not the one I would have gone with, but...

Hmm.

I see.

How are we going to tell them I've come back?

I don't know.

I haven't—I don't want to think about that yet.

But we're gonna have to, aren't we?

If I go...

go places.

Do things.

People will see me, notice me.

- What if it's someone who knew me?

No one knew you round here.

How long am I staying here?

I don't know.

This is all still so early.

Still so fresh.

Let's wrap our own heads around it first.

Let's figure this out. Figure us out.

Before we get anyone else involved.

We have time.

We have so much time.

How did we meet?

Friend of mine.

My current housemate back in the city.

You were a friend of his.

Not especially close or anything, but yeah.

Met through him. At a party.

Standard fare.

Who's your housemate?

Went to uni with him.

We were in a band together, actually.

What did you do in the band?

Drums.

And vocals.

It was—he was on guitar, we would both do vocals, but yeah.

Drumming and singing.

It's, uh... it's hard.

Do you still play?

No. We stopped.

But we moved together.

He works in publishing now.

Trying to climb that ladder.

And you?

I work—well, worked. In a theatre.

Front of house.

I do the odd bar or catering shift.

I'm, you know, looking.

For what I want to do.

Worked?

Had to quit.

After you...

After what happened.

Decided to stay out here.

Reassess. Take my time.

And what did I do?

You started a job in the civil service last year, but um...

You couldn't keep it.

Had to stop.

For your wellbeing.

It was the right decision.

You weren't happy.

Seems to be a reccurring theme.

- I used to come here a lot when I was a kid.

My mum would bring me.

We'd camp sometimes.

Make little fires.

Swim here in the morning.

What is it?

I saw you.

What do you mean?

I came out of the earth.

The dirt.

And when I did, I saw you.

In my head.

Do I know you?

Do you think you do?

I don't know why else you'd be in my head.

Do you have memories? Do you...

Do you remember things?

I don't know.

I don't think so.

It's all muddy.

Like fog.

I remember a tree.

The sound of a branch creaking.

What it feels like to choke.

To beg my throat for air.

You remember that?

You can...

You remember things.

Before coming out of the ground.

This can't be happening.

What did you do?

How did this happen?

- It must have...

must have gone wrong or something,

I don't know, It's not like I've done this before.

Where did you get those clothes?

They were given to us.

- By who? Did you...

Were you seen? Did someone see you?

We were disorientated.

We'd only just woken up.

Only just come out of the ground.

Tell me what happened.

It's very...

It's important.

There was a man.

He smelled funny.

Like burning.

Smoke.

We went for a ride in his car.

Oh my God...

- He gave us chocolate and clothes...

but then we ran 'cause we didn't want the police stopping us from seeing the sun.

He called the police.

But we ran.

He never caught us.

You're like us.

Yes.

I think so.

Why weren't you with us?

In the ground.

I already woke up.

Did she wake you up?

Yes.

Did she wake us up?

Yes.

Stop it, okay, stop doing that. Stop—bonding.

Why did she wake us up?

I don't... I did, I...

You weren't supposed to...

I'm hungry.

I'll make you some food.

Fucking hell.

Come with me.

Did you know this would happen?

Of course not.

Be honest.

I fucking am.

There are two of them in there. Two more like me.

This is—I am not the person you are looking for,

I told you— - Shut up!

Just... let me think.

Jesus, they were seen, someone called the police.

If they find us, if they realise who we all are...

We are not anyone!

What you were trying to do, it didn't work.

I need to go to the site.

The tree. I need to see, I need to check.

What about them?

Can you...

Can you watch them?

Please. Okay, please do this for me.

Just—sit with them. Look after them, and don't let them leave.

Go ahead. Eat.

Who is she?

I'm not sure.

Mother.

Is she our mother?

No.

We...

It's more complicated than that.

I remember dying.

Are you sure?

I don't.

I just remember coming out of the ground.

I liked it in there, though.

I was happy in there.

Why did she wake us up?

I think she only wanted one.

One of us?

Which one?

Which of us did she want?

She lost someone.

She wanted her.

She wanted to bring her back.

Which of us is her?

- Any of us.

None of us.

I don't know.

There are going to be rules.

No one leaves.

You stay here.

And you do what I say.

My authority, it's got to be absolute.

Are we agreed?

One.

Two.

Three.

Hey.

Hey!

Where are you going?

For a walk.

That's not allowed.

You expect me to play by the same rules as those two?

Yes, I do.

I'm not like them.

I was here first. I'm older.

Them being here doesn't change that,

doesn't change what I am.

You cannot go off on your own. That was never allowed.

Allowed?

You have that kind of power over me now, do you?

Yes.

Over all of you, since I'm the reason you're here.

Exactly.

Don't punish me for your mistakes.

Mistakes?

I count at least two of them.

I'm trying to fix this.

How?

Lock us all away and hope no one ever finds us?

We'll figure it out.

Together, we will.

They're different.

Two acts young.

Innocent.

- Yes.

It's unexpected.

Come back inside.

Let me do your mark.

I'm not having one.

You'll still be able to tell me apart.

I'll just be the one that isn't branded.

She should have one.

It isn't fair.

We did it.

It hurt.

She should have one.

I agree.

But I can't force her to.

You forced us.

No.

You quite rightly did what was asked of you.

There's a difference.

I didn't hold you down and carve it in against your will.

You didn't have to.

Maybe you do with her.

Enough.

She was here first?

Yes, I was.

So why did we come out?

Was she not enough?

I was meant to come out.

You two were accidents.

I said enough.

None of this is...

I don't think you could call this intentional.

You are here because I lost something.

Someone.

And I thought I could find it.

Not just for me, I thought I could give her another chance.

I thought it would be... her.

A her that I knew.

A her that knew me too.

It's gonna be hard work.

I want to get to know you.

All of you.

I want us all to get on.

We can be like...

A family?

Sure.

We can be like a family.

I don't think I should be in here.

What do you mean?

I should be down there. With them.

Why?

I'm only here because I came out first.

We know each other.

We care about each other.

We don't know them yet.

But we will.

Please.

I don't want you to leave.

Um...

Can I sleep in here?

I thought you slept upstairs.

I did.

Now I'm not so sure.

What's she going to do with us?

Are we gonna stay here, like this, forever?

What would be so bad about that?

Those memories that you have...

Did they happen to you, or...

someone else?

I died.

That happened to me.

But everything before, it...

It feels so distant.

- She can't keep all of us.

- What do you mean?

- She's scared.

They're looking for you now.

She's scared they'll find us.

Find her out.

- You want us to leave.

It's not that simple.

- You want her for yourself.

I don't know what I want.

Do you love her?

I don't know what love feels like.

I bet it feels warm. And safe.

Like how we felt in the ground.

If any of us leave, there's nowhere for us to go.

Not when we look like this.

Like the hanging girl.

They saw her die.

What will she do with the ones she can't keep?

Oh.

Change your mind, did you?

Well. Are you coming in?

What is this? What are you doing?

One didn't want to sleep in here.

No, she went downstairs with you.

I wasn't given the choice.

She's right.

It's better this way, for now.

If you stay down there.

For now?

What do you want?

What do you?

You're the reason we're here.

I didn't know this would happen.

I've been...

I haven't been myself.

Since it happened.

When One slept in your bed,

did you fuck her?

I...

No.

No, it wasn't...

It wasn't right.

Right.

What does right feel like?

There's something.

Some trace of you inside me.

I can feel you.

And this...

This makes things clearer.

Like I could remember.

Like it could all come back.

What you're looking for.

You've been quiet.

Barely said a word to me.

Not just today, these past few weeks.

I know.

Things are different.

They are, I—I didn't plan for this.

I didn't plan for them, but... they're here.

We have to deal with it.

We can make this work.

Everyone quiet.

Everyone down.

Morning.

Hi.

Sorry to disturb you.

Can I help you?

Well, that's gonna depend entirely on your answer.

You going to accuse me of killing another one of my girlfriends?

We never once levied any kind of accusation against you,

never identified you as a person of interest in her death...

Fucking interrogated me.

Grilled me, I was a mess.

I know.

And I'm sorry.

I was doing my job.

What do you want?

We're just following up on a call we had last week.

It's weird.

Nothing big.

Two girls.

Identical, apparently. Twins, I guess.

Someone found them in the woods, naked in the middle of the night.

Clothed them.

Fed them.

And they ran off.

We're just trying to make sure no one's hurt, or in any trouble.

Don't suppose you've seen anything like that these last few days?

No.

If this was a recurring thing, I think I would have seen something by now.

Well, that's what I figured.

Probably just a one-off, but who knows?

There are no twins in the village.

None that anyone knows of, anyway, so...

whoever they are, they're from out of town.

I dunno.

Probably just a rave, or something.

Anyway.

Thank you for your time.

Happy music you were playing there.

I'm glad.

You seem better.

Are you okay?

We heard yelling.

Bit early, isn't it?

Can I sleep in your bed tonight?

- Hello?

What?

Oh.

Okay.

No, that's...

I'll come down.

Yeah, I'll come now.

Okay.

Okay, goodbye.

My mum's dead.

You need to stay here.

On your own.

Normal rules, you mustn't leave.

Okay.

You need to promise me, you need to all stay here.

One's in charge.

Listen to her.

I'll be back soon.

I'll be back...

I'm glad you came.

That you got to see her when you did.

She would talk about you, you know.

When she was more herself.

She never forgot who you are.

Listen.

I'm having trouble sleeping.

Insomnia.

Could you...

Would you help me?

I know you must have stuff here, please.

I really need help.

- You smile the most like her.

I do?

- Yeah, you do.

It's... it's subtle, it's not too much.

- Not like me.

- No, you smile differently.

You've got a devious little fucking grin.

But your eyes... there's a look in them,

a look that's the same as hers.

Is that it?

You walk differently.

One walks like her the most.

My walk?

Yeah, the way you move, it's...

deliberate.

But the way she spoke, that's like a mix of all three of you.

None of you speak quite like her,

the way her words sounded, the things she'd say, but...

Although you do laugh like her, Two.

You have the same sort of cackle.

- Okay, well, who...

Who kisses most like her?

I don't...

I wouldn't...

Oh, that's right.

You haven't tried with Three yet.

Maybe it's her.

Go on, give it a go.

What are you saying?

Two's drunk.

- Has this been something that's...

Have you been doing this behind our backs?

You didn't want to sleep in her bed, One.

You made your decision.

This is...

Are you serious?

Well, she needs to know, doesn't she?

Who kisses most like her.

Who fucks most like her.

Is that what's going on?

You're trying to figure out which one of us is most like her?

You're really clinging on to that.

That one of us might be her.

This is pathetic!

We are all different!

- No.

We're all her.

Pieces of her.

Don't you see?

We're shards of her.

Fragments.

That fit together to make a whole.

You have her back now.

In all of us.

Not one.

Not another.

Three make one.

You see that now.

Yes?

No, this is strange,

I don't like it.

How do you feel now?

We died.

We chose to die.

We shouldn't be here.

We shouldn't have come back.

- We're here now.

That's all that matters.

There's no going back.

But it's wrong.

People know we're dead.

We can't show our faces.

We can't live lives.

We're tethered here to this place.

To our maker.

What can become of us?

We're failed experiments.

This cannot last.

So what's the solution?

This can work for us.

She will love us.

No, she can't.

She wanted one and only one.

She wanted who she lost.

We aren't that.

This is different.

Too different.

We're a mistake that she is going to try and correct.

Just a minute.

I saw the mess that you left in the kitchen.

Should have just gone straight to the bathroom.

I was getting another drink.

Do you want some? I'll get us all some.

I don't really like whiskey.

Bullshit. Yes you do.

They do. I don't.

If they do, then you do.

Why? Because she did.

What's wrong with it?

- What?

There's something in it.

You're drunk.

- Sediment or something.

Look, okay, I...

I thought we could all take something. Together.

Keep the night going.

You drugged it?

It'll be fun.

Let me see it.

You don't know what you're looking for.

You weren't gonna tell us.

Get out of my way, Three.

Hey, guys!

Two, what happened?

Where's One?!

We're going after her.

Let's go.

She was going to drug us...

Shut up, Three, get dressed!

You were going to...

Were you trying to kill us?

If anyone finds her, this is all over,

we're all finished,

you have to help me!

One was right.

We're just a mistake to you.

It this really your plan to fix things?

Drug us. Murder us.

She was gonna hurt us, Two.

She put something in that bottle.

She was going to make us drink something.

Involuntary suicide pact...

You're right.

If she gets out, it's all over.

I'll keep her here.

Go!

One!

One!

Please!

Come back, please!

I need you!

I need you!

Don't leave me again!
