Anna?

Yes, Mr. James?

Can I have a word with you in my office?

Of course.

Right now?

When you've finished in here, it'll be fine.

Okay.

It's not really working out, is it, Anna?

Now, we've spoken about this before, on more than one occasion.

Not to mention the written warnings.

Your position here has always been art teacher, not art therapist.

I do appreciate you've been acting from the highest of motives.

But I feel you're on the wrong track.

This is Anna. Please leave me a message after the little beep. Thank you.

Hello, Anna.

About before.

I hope you can keep it a little secret.

But I'm phoning because I found you a job.

It's a position as a nanny to a young boy and girl. The money's very good.

Please call me.

Lange and Palmer, Zeneca speaking. Can I help you?

Excuse me?

Yes.

I am here to see Mr. Lange.

You've got an appointment?

Yes.

My name is Anna Vey.

Please take a seat, and I'll let him know you're here.

Midway?

Mr. Lang will see you now.

Say again?

Mm-hmm.

We'll be discussing that on Monday.

Okay.

Mm-hmm.

Nice.

Why don't you call me back later?

Say, around 4 o'clock?

Okay, bye.

The job's yours.

Do you have any questions for me?

I suppose you can start tomorrow.

You have my card.

You're not to contact me, only in case of an emergency. For the rest, my

private secretary, Miss Gross, will handle everything.

Beautiful legs.

Your salary.

I trust it's satisfactory.

There's also a clothing allowance.

I suggest you purchase some suitable things today.

The car will pick you up tomorrow morning, 7.30 sharp.

Thank you.

You'll have complete responsibility for the children from arrival.

Do I report to you?

If you must.

I'll be busy managing the estate.

Okay.

Mr. Lang's nephew returns from school on Friday.

His niece is already at home.

Who were their parents?

They were killed in a plane crash.

That's awful.

Yes.

Mr. Lang wasn't well equipped to cope.

I meant awful for the children.

So did I.

Lay room.

This is the living room.

Library.

Where's the girl?

You'll meet her.

The staff leave on Friday.

We'll be alone then.

Sheila, this is Miss Bay.

Hi. Let's call me Anna.

No doubt Miss Bay needs to freshen up.

I'll see you in the living room in one hour.

This is the right room.

Did you pick all those things up for me in my bathroom?

Yes.

I knew it was you. Thank you so much.

It's nothing personal.

Come in.

Hi. Hi.

Flora, this is Miss Bay.

You're beautiful, Flora.

You too.

Hi.

Right.

I'll leave you two to get acquainted.

You'll join me for dinner, Miss Faye.

Sure.

Call me Anna.

So, what do you want to do?

Flora, look.

Look how fun it is to be messy.

Not very ladylike.

Who said that?

Doesn't it go over like that?

Who said that? Did somebody at school say that?

Who said that, Laura?

Yes, Jekyll does.

It's okay.

Not yet, Flora. He's still in school.

Tomorrow we can do any sort of painting you want, okay?

Thank you.

Good night.

I couldn't know that we were dressing up for dinner.

I didn't say.

You look really nice.

You don't need to zoom in and stay.

Save that for the children.

I feel like we've gotten off on the wrong foot somehow, and it's all my

fault.

Do you think?

You were saying?

I'd like us to be friends.

Would you now?

Yes.

McVeigh, in my experience...

Friendship is a thing earned over a period of time.

It grows out of mutual respect, trust, affection.

Wouldn't you agree?

Yes. So shall we content ourselves with acquaintanceship for the moment?

Let's see where that leads.

I'm a little bit tired.

I'm going to go to bed.

Of course.

Who's Miss Jessel?

Your predecessor.

Good night.

I can hear.

Hello? Were you having a nightmare?

No, were you?

I don't know.

Body's a funny place until you get used to it.

Can I go to sleep now?

Of course you can, Flora.

Night.

Oh.

It's from Mr. Lang.

It's from Margaret's school. That makes it yours.

It says he's been expelled.

What for?

It doesn't say.

I've called Mr. Lang.

At this very moment, Mr. Lang is in New York, overseeing a crucial phase and a

major takeover.

That is why he's paying you a not insubstantial salary to assume full

responsibility for the children.

Amber, what do I do?

Do what you think is best.

Look, my picture.

That's great.

We're going to go on a little trip, okay? So get your coat, and you can

bring your art supplies if you want.

We're going to go see Miles.

I have a question.

Yes?

Is the boy bad?

Miles?

Bad?

He's only ten years old.

That doesn't really answer my question.

I would say he's much like his sister.

Would you say that she was bad?

She seems a little strange.

They've had a difficult life.

This is all most unfortunate.

What has he done?

We received complaints from parents about certain influences.

Influences?

You can't expel a child for that.

Private education is a highly competitive sector. We can't afford to

lose our good name.

We do feel, however, for the boy's predicament. First, the death of his

parents, and then poor Miss Jessel.

Miss Jessel?

Tragic. I understand the children were very close to her.

I do understand how it can have an impact, but I must consider the school.

Of course.

You'll be taking him home with you, then?

Sure. I'll make the necessary arrangements.

This drawing's for you.

That's very nice. Thank you, Father.

Mother's been expelled again, hasn't he?

How many times have you been expelled?

Counting this one?

Three.

Well,

he can't be a very nice boy then, can he?

Miss Bay, I'm very pleased to meet you. I'm Miles.

Hi.

I'm hopefully sorry for any trouble I've caused.

Don't worry, I'm sure we'll sort it out.

Can we go home now, please?

Sure.

Wake up.

Miles, wake up.

Wake up, Miles.

Did you find out what Miles did exactly?

No, the headmaster wouldn't say.

I'll find out from Miles later, though.

Can you tell me about Miss Jethel?

Didn't Mr. James say anything?

No.

She taught at the same school as you.

Like you, she came on his recommendation.

She was very good at her job.

That's why we're so pleased to get you from the same source.

How did she die?

She drowned.

The children found her in the lake.

The coroner ruled it death by misadventure.

She was three months pregnant.

So I've now inherited two deeply disturbed children.

They just need stability and a bit of understanding.

You should have told me before.

Would you have been so keen to take them on?

Maybe not.

But now you've met them and seen what good souls they really are.

Will you stay?

Please.

The staff have gone. So we've got the place to ourself.

What shall we do now?

You have no friends in the forest.

All this story you told me about.

What

do

you want to think?

Something you've done or something that's happened to you?

Something good or something bad?

Whichever you'd rather.

Okay.

Good.

I want to look over the grace and favor cottages next.

I'll bring a... I'll bring the schedule of dilapidations.

Mm-hmm. Yep.

Bye for now.

How are the children?

Good. I'm just drawing them out with a little bit of art therapy.

No pun intended?

No.

I'm glad you're here.

Me too.

It's really very beautiful, Flora.

Thank you.

Do you like living at Bly?

Sometimes.

Sometimes you don't?

When? When she's being a baby.

I'm not a baby!

Want to paint something too, Miles, huh?

I'm not sure.

Can I do another one?

Yeah.

Of course you can.

Thank you.

It's getting a little bit cold.

It's time to go home.

Come on Miles.

Come on Miles.

Mom?

Not her as well.

Feeling any better?

Are the children?

They're fine.

It's you we're worried about.

You were a little agitated, so I gave you some Valium.

There was a man in the tower.

In the house.

No, no.

There's no one here but us.

You were probably just mildly concussed.

What are you doing?

There was somebody here.

That was me.

I was concerned about what you said about seeing a man up here. So I came up

and looked around while you were asleep.

You should be in bed. Come on.

Men. Thank you.

Are you feeling better, Miss Faye?

I'm fine.

Please call me Anna.

We thought you'd gone, Anna.

Laura.

We did. You looked all grey like a corpse.

Miles, out of my way. Come on, Laura, everybody out. Come on.

Anna needs her rest.

Thank you.

3, 4, 5, 6, 7,

8, 9, 10, 11,

12,

9900 REGIONIZE!

Miles?

I'm not Miles.

I'm Death. Stop!

Stop it! Miles!

I'm not Miles. I'm Death. Please.

Stop! Miles!

Not Bunny!

Death.

I'm scared.

I'll stay with you.

Please, I'll be good.

Alright.

Do anything you want.

I should be doing that.

I'm all right.

Was it big storm last night?

Yes, it was.

They forecast more on the way.

Anything you want.

Anna? Mm-hmm?

Can I sleep in your bedroom again tonight?

I don't know. Please, I hate storms.

Baby, I'm not...

Perhaps we could make up a bed for you, if Miss Faye doesn't mind.

Please. For her.

They seem happy.

Therapeutic. What is it?

Art.

Let go of your feelings and you put them onto paper.

Feelings of sadness and pain.

And happiness.

Is that why you specialised in it?

Yes.

That's my smile.

I want you to do that. I'm bored.

You're destroying it.

I want to do something else.

Can you make math?

Yes, please.

We'll be right back.

Anna, what are you doing?

There was a man here.

A man?

Who?

He was looking inside and he wanted something.

He wanted something precious.

What did he look like?

He was tall and he had mean eyes and he was bald.

He was just...

He's right here.

He's standing right here, just like this.

What's wrong with you?

I just saw him.

Thank you.

Stop,

stop, stop.

Come here.

You know him, don't you? Who?

Malik, though.

Who is he?

His name's Peter Quint.

What? You made me feel like I was mad. Can you look at me?

Was he married and screwing you?

Hardly.

Then why didn't you tell me the truth?

Because he's dead.

Peter hanged himself after Valerie... after Miss Jessel's accident.

Miles and Peter were together all the time.

I suppose Miles saw him as a sort of father figure.

So Peter Quint and Miss Jethro were lovers?

If you call that love.

Carnality and infatuation, I'd call it.

What I offered was real love.

Well, you can't force someone to desire you.

I think you're very desirable.

So confident and elegant.

You're very kind.

I mean it.

I really need you now.

So do the children.

The children?

I think that's what Peter Quint has come back for.

I don't believe in ghosts.

Wait. Flora sees him.

Flora knew Quince. She's painted it from memory. It doesn't mean she's actually

seen him.

I've seen him.

It's just a coincidence to even talk about him this day and age. It's

ridiculous.

You think that's Quint?

Seems no trouble's here, too.

Valerie?

Surely not.

I knew I was right.

Anna?

You think they were being abused?

I know it.

How?

That's why Miles gets expelled from school and why Flora acts scared all the

time.

But how can you be so sure?

The same thing happened to me.

It must be painful for you to learn about Quint.

Why?

You obviously loved him very much.

What?

I hated Peter Quint with all my heart.

I don't understand.

It was Valerie.

Dear, long-legged, beautiful Valerie.

I love Miss Jethro.

Laura? I was worried about you. You weren't in your bed.

Well, now it's time you were back in yours.

You think I was creeping about outside?

No, I thought somebody was.

Morning. Morning.

Will you join me?

Where are the children?

They went for a walk. By themselves?

They often do.

They wanted a breath of fresh air.

Flora, I'm looking for you.

You look scared.

I was.

Boo! Hey! It's only Miles. I was only playing.

It's not nice.

You shouldn't do that.

Sorry, I was just a little nervous.

You have to go.

Can't we play?

No. I want you to promise me you're never going to go by the lake again.

Why? I said go.

Okay, I promise.

Miles.

Miles!

Give me your hand.

Hold your brother.

About last night. I saw them again.

What?

Quentin, that woman.

Valerie. Where?

By the lake.

They've gone now.

This time the children saw them, too.

The children saw them? They told you that?

I was there.

Right. I'm going to speak to them.

No, I won't tell you the truth.

Get off!

Only deny it.

We can't let them out of our sight. There's real intent here.

Intent? To harm. They mean to get to the children. They want the children.

You're beginning to worry me, Anna.

I know that you're sincere and well-meaning, but don't you think you're

getting this a little bit out of proportion?

It's what my mother said.

Is it?

You think I'm imagining it, but what if you're wrong?

So what do you suggest we do?

I need to talk to you.

Do you believe the children to be haunted or abused?

Both.

Hey, give that back!

You believe in God, so you believe in the devil and hell and the loss over the

dam.

God is tangible.

He's all around us.

God manifests himself in the beauty of nature, in mankind's achievements.

You don't believe in the supernatural.

I'm sorry.

You know...

I'm

the only one who understands what's going on with the children.

I'm sorry, Anna.

I don't doubt that you care deeply about the children's welfare.

But it's not really working out, is it?

Why don't you take a break?

Find some time to get yourself together.

It's alright.

Don't go yet I have to

Wake up!

What is it?

Come quickly.

Tell me I'm imagining it now.

Maya? Maya?

Why'd you do that?

It was only meant to be a joke, to scare you.

You did it just to scare me?

Yeah.

But I might not have even been watching you.

That's why Flora was looking out.

To bid the craft?

I know.

Have some more.

Well done.

The power lines are down.

Who knows when they'll be up again.

I'll go up and sit with Miles.

That's my job.

I still have a job, that is.

Of course you do.

We'll take it in turns through the night.

We have to calm Mr. Lang first thing in the morning. I have to know what's going

on. Absolutely not.

You wouldn't understand any of this.

Haven't you been able to sleep?

I've been thinking.

What about?

You.

Why haven't you told me anything about your school?

There's nothing to tell. And why are you so curious?

Why are you so evasive?

You tell me what's happening, what's happening here at play.

I don't understand what you mean.

I'm so sorry.

I just want to help you.

I would do anything else in the world for you.

I just want to protect you, okay?

Flora?

Where's Flora?

I don't know.

I've been here all night with you.

Flora's gone.

She's with her.

Are you going to help me or not?

Where's Miles?

He's in the house with Quint.

They worked a plan.

Miles kept me occupied while Flora stole away.

They're good at plans.

Children and their friends.

I kept you occupied.

They won't catch me so easily the next time.

Wait!

Anna!

You don't think she's in the water?

She's up to something.

All alone?

She's only a child.

She's not alone, is she?

You really believe we'll see Valerie, don't you?

Shh.

Just heardin' of it.

Me?

Staying alone.

Where is she?

Who?

Charming Miss Jessel, huh?

Where is she hiding? Stop it! There's no one here!

All right, Flora.

Breathe. Drop your inhaler. Get your inhaler.

Keep breathing.

No one there.

Look. She doesn't seem so ridiculous now that you have your proof.

I can't see anyone.

Come on, Flora. We're leaving.

Come here.

Look, Flora. Look, she was... I know she can see us. Oh, man.

Breathe. Mm.

Bye.

Nothing to worry about, just water your dirty little girl.

Where's Flora?

She asked to come in with me.

She's not feeling very well.

She's a little afraid of you.

To be honest, I can understand why.

She would say that. It's just a trap set by her and her friends.

Stop this now!

There is no trap, no plot, no anything.

Valerie and Peter are not trying to get at you or the children.

They're dead, Anna.

Do you understand?

Dead. Dead and gone.

It seems cruel and unfair to go on about them the way you do.

And we've only got our memory left.

I want you to leave first thing in the morning.

I'll give you a quarter's salary in lieu of notice.

Then help me, could you?

No. I don't think that's a good idea.

After she had ridden for a while, she felt a burning thirst.

and said to her waiting maid, Dismount, and take my cup which you have brought

with you for me, and get me some water from the stream, for I should like to

drink.

If you are thirsty, said the waiting maid, get off your horse yourself, and

lie down and drink out of the water.

I don't choose to be your servant.

So in her great thirst the princess alighted, went down over the water and

the stream and drank, and was not allowed to drink out of the golden cup.

Then she said, Ah, heaven!

Hi,

this is Anna Vey calling for Mr. Lange.

It's really urgent that you return my call.

Oh, you're such a good girl. What's happening?

Laura, she can't breathe.

And they take her to hospital.

You have my number. You phone me as soon as you find him. You promise me. Yes,

don't worry. You promise me. I promise.

I promise.

This is about them, isn't it?

Who?

I think I'm frightened of you.

Do you remember what I told you?

That I would do anything in the world for you?

I thought that was to get me to do something for you.

I want you to do something for me now. What?

I'd like you to tell me everything.

Now? Yes.

Confess everything and I can still save you.

I'll do anything you like, but one misgrowth here.

No! Tell me now!

I let go.

You're hurting.

There's someone outside the window right now trying to get at you.

Miss Jessel? Not her, the other one.

You're a special friend.

You can see him? Tell me his name and you'll be free.

Jack Green. Bethet. Tell me his name and you'll be free.

Tell me his name and I'll be free.

Peter Quint, he's Peter Quint.

I've done it.

You're free.

You're free.

Miles, why'd you do that?

He's gone now. You're free.

Miles, you're free.

Let me in.

Let me in.

Let me in.

Being very childish.

Miles, get back here right now!

Miles!

Miles, what are you doing?

You're safe.

Listen to me.

I saved you.

Miles, I saved you.

I can't believe that I saved you.

You're safe with me.

Do you understand?

Listen to me.

I'm the only one.

You see?

I'm the only one that knows. Do you understand?

He's never going to touch you again.

They're gone.

Miles.

Listen to me.

They're gone.

I'm never going to leave you alone.

I promise.

I'm the only one.

I'm the only one who knows.

It'll be our little secret.

I'm the only one.

I'm the only one.
