Jude?

I'm home.

Turn off the video games.

Jude?

Gotcha!

Shit!

Another prank?

No!

Why do you have to keep doing this?

I got you good, didn't I?

You think you're funny, huh?

Okay.

Saved by your dad.

Hi.

Dad!

What's up, mate?

You being the big man of the house and taking care of your mum?

More like scaring his old mum.

How do you use the shoe trick?

The shoe trick?

Let me see.

I think you must be mistaking me with someone else, mate.

Real sneaky, you two.

I can't stay long, love.

I've got to take some clients out for dinner.

Check in on my two favourite people.

Let you know that I miss you both and I love you guys so much.

Love you, Dad.

Bye, kiddo.

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, well then I will see you on Friday night, lady.

If you're lucky.

Night.

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.

Hm?

I'm too old to still sleep with a teddy bear.

Well, I won't tell if you won't.

Goodnight.

Goodnight, Mom.

Jude?

If you're trying to scare me again, it's not funny.

Okay.

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 come 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.

As well as we can be.

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.

Another headache?

It's not that bad.

I thought the doctor had some good things to say.

Yeah.

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...

you don't even let me touch you.

I'm...

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?

Liza, be quiet.

Liza.

Liza.

Liza.

Liza.

It's okay.

It's okay.

You're all right.

I'm sorry, sweetheart.

It's okay.

I can't do this anymore.

Hello.

Oh, I'm glad you found it.

So I saw the house.

And what's this little man's name?

Jude.

He's a little show.

Oh, well, I'll be back in a bit, babe.

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 offense,

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.

No.

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!

What's that?

That must be the lighthouse.

Let's check it out.

Look at that.

Wow.

That is what I call a house.

Come here.

Come on, Jude.

Wow.

This place must have been quite something back in the day.

Glenview estate.

Have a look it up.

A house like this probably got some real history to it.

Sean!

Yeah, forget the guest house.

I'm moving in here.

What do you say, Jude?

Jude?

Jude!

Jude?

Jude!

Mate, don't run off like that, please.

You can't run off like that.

Not out here.

What's that?

Did you just find that?

Take a look.

Oh, my goodness.

It's filthy in here.

Whereabouts did you find it?

Do you want to keep it?

Okay.

Let's get it cleaned up first.

All right.

Can't wait to have this guy in the house.

Can I see?

Rules.

I bet you have a story to tell.

Looks like he wants a friend.

Looks like he was broken before.

And put back together again.

Okay, let's go to bed now.

Huh?

Come on, mate.

You sure you got everything you need there, 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 him yourself.

That sounds lovely.

Are you hungry?

Okay.

I'll make pancakes.

I guess it's about time for me to start my

morning commute all the way down the hallway.

Really hope there's no traffic, guys.

You want to stop by the office for lunch today?

Did I mention that I was just down the hallway?

I'll try to sneak by.

Goodbye, dude-ster.

And goodbye, uh...

Did we come up with a 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.

Bye, gang.

Goodbye, Brahms.

Well, what should we start with today?

Math or history?

Okay.

Joe!

This is where you found him?

Oz, get in here.

This is 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 round here.

Park guard, park gardener.

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 talker, myself.

People think I'm crazy for living out here on

my own, but I'm more sane than any of them.

The 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, I don't mind.

We're neighbors now.

I suppose I'll be seeing quite a bit of you.

Hey there.

It's a healthy-looking 12-gauge.

Or a 12-bowl.

Who's one of you?

This is Joseph.

Joseph, this is Bob.

And this is my husband, Sean.

Hey.

Joseph.

I tend the grounds round here, keep the troublemakers out.

Caught 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 mine.

See you soon, little fella.

Bringing down the local strays already, huh?

He's right there.

He insisted on walking us all the way home.

Come on, Oz.

Come on.

Nice of him, I guess.

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 don't know.

I just think it's all a little bit...

creepy.

I bet 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've got some work 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.

In some random, senseless burglary.

And I'm actually aware of that every single day of my life.

Yes, but that's over now.

I...

Liza, I'm sorry.

Should we just leave him alone?

Do you want to have him talk?

No, I want to go in.

I want to see if he'll talk to us.

Okay, let's go.

Hey, sweetheart.

We were just outside and we thought we heard you talking.

Were you talking to Brahms?

Great.

So what were you guys talking about?

Oh, the dog from this morning.

Did he scare you?

Brahms doesn't like him.

Oh.

Well, that's, uh...

That's great.

We'll let you get back to Brahms.

I'm 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.

Honey, it's okay.

Look at me.

It was just a dream.

It was just a dream.

Look at me.

It's fine.

You're okay.

Jude.

He's mine!

You're okay.

You're the nightmare.

Where's Jude?

He slept in his room, love.

It's the first time he slept in his own bed.

You want two, yeah?

Hey, good morning.

You're up.

I let you lie in.

I thought you could use it.

Thank you.

Cooked up a little full English.

Here, love.

What's this?

Oh, that, yes.

Well, apparently Brahms is handing down rules now.

Including he'd like his own food.

Including he'd like his own food.

Always and forever.

Oh, dear.

What happened to Mr. Brown?

Jude?

Buddy?

Did you do this?

Come on, mate.

It's not very nice to blame him, though, 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.

Jude, you heard your mum.

Leave the doll, please.

Or 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.

Ah!

Jude.

Your father and I said no doll.

Okay, I am going to count to three, and if this door isn't open...

One, two, three!

What are you doing here?

Hey.

I know someone here who wants to apologize.

Come on.

Hey.

Thank you for apologizing.

Okay, let's get you to bed, yeah?

You can brush your teeth, good boy.

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 would 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 Jude down.

Not letting anyone down.

Please don't be sorry.

You'll feel better after some sleep.

Yeah.

Good night.

All right.

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 try to act out some... Act out?

Listen, what if we just got rid of the doll?

How bad would that be?

I urge you to be patient.

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.

What have you got there?

You thought of a 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.

Like he's got a secret that only he knows.

You ever notice that?

Can I help you?

Oh, hello there.

I was just looking for Oz, my daft dog.

We haven't seen him.

He's gone.

All right, never mind.

Pretty good idea where he'll be, anyway.

Right, I'll be off.

You be good now.

Come on.

It's time to go inside.

Not Jude outside all alone?

I just left him for a second.

What happened?

I'm sorry.

I just saw it.

It was just there.

I'm sorry.

My God, Liza.

What are you doing?

Jude?

Sorry.

I didn't know you were standing there.

Why are you wearing that?

Dinner's at 15.

No.

It's just the three of us for dinner tonight, Jude.

No, not tonight.

Does it really matter, Liza?

No.

Your mum said no, mate.

So I was thinking of inviting Liam out.

And family.

Felt like maybe we could do some company.

Yeah?

Want to see Uncle Liam?

Auntie Mary and your cousins?

I think it'll be fun.

He's always a good laugh, isn't he?

I think he'll love to get out of the city.

Not really guests.

Family.

Yeah?

This house, not your doll.

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 mum says.

Please.

Well, if you won't talk to me, will the doll?

That's because Brahms is not a person.

That's because Brahms is not a person.

He's not real.

He doesn't need any food.

You do.

The doll and his rules do not run this house.

Fine.

Stay here all night then.

Jude.

Jude.

What?

What the hell happened?

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.

And others.

Sean, there was a drawing of Jude standing

over our dead bodies and he was holding a gun.

So you're saying he ripped pages out of his book?

No, I...

I don't know what happened.

I just know that I...

I don't like what it's doing to Jude.

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.

You're the only person in here with him.

Auds!

Where are you, boy?

Come here, Auds!

Come here, boy!

Ah, Ludie.

You need that.

Thank you.

Ready?

Yeah.

Start.

Good morning, mister.

Sean?

Jude!

Come on, buddy!

No, Bernie!

No, Bernie!

Jude!

We'll go this way.

You, uh, head off that way.

Okay.

We'll circle round.

We'll meet back at the house.

Jude!

Jude!

Jude!

Jude?

Jude?

Jude?

Jude?

Jude?

Is that you?

Jude, what are you doing?

Jude!

Where are you?

Come play with us, Mommy.

Jude?

Jude...

I'm sorry I scared you.

You were just playing, Mommy.

It's so good to hear your voice.

Come on.

There you are.

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.

Jude, he's...

He's talking.

Right, let's go.

We're not really supposed to be in this part of the house.

Come on.

It's so nice to hear you talking.

Joseph?

What happened in this house?

Uh, Jude, why don't you go self-browse in the music room, eh?

Stay close, mate.

There, uh...

There was a family who lived here a long time ago.

Had a son.

Went a bit mad.

Killed a little girl.

Got burnt 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 Hillshires.

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 a man, very nearly two others, before he was killed himself.

But they're all dead.

Dead and buried now.

What's the son's name?

His name was Brahms.

Did you say Brahms?

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to keep it from you.

I just didn't think it'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 was found gutted in the forest.

Sorry to hear that.

So your parents tell me you've been talking again.

Is this your new friend Brahms?

He 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 wanted 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?

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!

Emily goes to the bathroom.

This is just fabulous!

I love it!

Well, look!

There he is!

You remember your old uncle Liam, don't you?

Hey!

It's not my fault he's mental.

And...

who's this handsome chap?

Brahms.

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, uh...

we'll have a catch-up?

Yes.

There's nothing to do outside.

There's nature, all right?

It's like a video game, but real.

Oh, enjoy.

Come on, Jude, show them around.

Maybe I should go with them.

Oh, nonsense, they'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 wanna 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 mum got attacked.

And...

we're not supposed to notice.

Well... But...

they know you're mental.

And I know you're mental.

And your stupid doll is the most mental of all.

He's fine, Liza.

Have some wine.

It'll do him 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, Will!

Ooh, you're sticking up for your nutter boyfriend now.

Maybe I should just smash your doll.

Maybe that will make you normal again.

Don't.

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!

She'll probably be happy.

Don't touch him.

Or what?

Or he'll make you wish you never came here.

Did you buy him purple boxers?

I did.

Kinky.

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.

Give it back to her!

Ooh, now your boyfriend's mad.

Why don't you come get it from me, Mental?

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, Mental!

You shouldn't worry about it, is what I'm saying.

They just do all sorts of weird things.

They go through phases.

And then, poof, it's gone.

What?

What's going on?

Two, three, slowly, slowly!

Mary, help his head, okay?

Hey!

Sweetheart, why don't you drink some of this?

It'll help you sleep.

And that will do you good.

Everything's okay.

He won't let me go.

He wants me to live in the big house with him forever.

He said he'd kill you and Daddy if I didn't do it.

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 gonna hurt Mommy and Daddy.

And no one's gonna hurt you.

Okay?

Hey, lads, it's me.

We just saw the doctor.

I think Will's gonna be okay.

I'll call you from the car.

I love you.

Bye.

Not from around here, are you?

I'm staying at the Glenview Estates.

Glenview?

Oh, you mean the heel-ship 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 a dog was speaking to him.

And it's still going on.

Last year, that city man that bought it after

the heel-ships went a bit mad and disappeared.

Never heard from him again.

I saw him down the pub one time.

Old Crazy Joe.

Crazy Joe?

Well, that's what people called him like.

His name was Joseph.

It didn't

have to be like this.

Joseph.

Is Jude okay?

Don't worry.

He's safe.

Safer now than he's probably ever been in his life.

Why are you here?

I'm here because he wants me to be.

Who?

Brahms.

He doesn't 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're a You asked me why I'm here.

It's the same reason that you are.

He called me.

He calls out to the ones that need him.

The damaged ones.

He looks inside you.

It was just a whisper.

At first.

When I first came here.

So quiet.

And he was in pieces when I found him.

Broken.

And then the voice said.

To put him back together.

So I did.

Then I heard.

Grown inside.

You must have heard.

Jude sure has.

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 will be beautiful.

You see everybody thought.

That I was crazy.

They thought the hills were so crazy.

But hold on.

It's always been the dark.

Even before the house.

Before the Davies.

The ones before that.

I found all their old letters.

He knew.

That's why he told me to bury him.

They're always so curious.

Aren't they?

They're the little ones.

Like moths to a flame.

Joseph, where is my son?

I want to see my son.

He's in the big house.

Jude.

Jude.

Jude.

This isn't you, Jude.

Please put him down.

It's going to be okay.

Can I hold Brahms?

I used to hold you just like this.

Let's just put him down.

Hello, mommy.

We're very angry.

You and daddy have him getting in the way.

I'm sorry.

We're going to live here now.

Because you can't protect us.

Protect you from who?

That dog.

Will.

And those men from that night.

We do need Brahms to protect us.

It's too late.

You'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.

Brahms needs to be a member of our family.

And what kind of a family doesn't need a mother?

Mom?

What are you doing?

What do you want?

What do you want?

Stay back!

It's me he'll punish.

I'm the one who didn't protect him.

No, no.

Joseph.

Brahms can't hurt you anymore.

You don't understand.

It'll never be over.

Home!

You're home!

Yes, I missed you.

I missed you too.

Really?

Perfect timing.

Hey.

Hey, beautiful.

How was your day?

It was good.

I think we might sign that author I was telling you about.

Yeah, nice.

Alrighty.

This looks so good.

Thank you.

Wait until you taste it.

Because I'm pretty confident that this might be the

greatest cocoa 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 if... No, okay.

Thank you.

This looks so good.

Thank you.

Just two or three hours of my day.

You know, nothing much.

Thank you so much.

Good night, my man.

You sleep tight.

I love you, sweetie.

Love you too.

Good night.
