Please be aware that this programme contains

graphic scenes of childbirth that viewers may find upsetting.

Your mum was from Kingston. Suppose you could look up your family.

Mercy Stevens, Port Royal, Jamaica.

She's your mother's sister.

I'm a priestess.

I advise in spiritual matters.

I was hoping, on my retirement...

...you might oversee the day-to-day running of Hope Hill,

as a freeman.

Me tell yuh fa stay outta di room! Yuh opened di trunk!

This is not Obeah. He's possessed.

Possessed by what?

By Charlotte. We are all at risk

as long as she can tear something from us.

Dad.

I'm coming home, OK?

But if you don't hear from me in 24 hours, call the embassy in Jamaica.

Claudia McKenzie, I'm arresting you

on suspicion of aiding and abetting a criminal.

That everything?

If it were up to me, no.

But it's been approved by the DPP, so yes, you're free to go.

I read your first statement.

You know why Angelo sprayed rum on you?

Some people think it protects you from bad spirits.

Claudia.

Dad?! What are you doing here?

Oh my God. You're safe.

Been worried sick about you.

What happened to your head?

You wouldn't believe me.

Hey.

Hey, come on. Try me.

Claudia, there's no such thing as ghosts. People don't live forever.

I know that.

But I also know Cudjoe saved my life.

You been talking to Mercy?

This has nothing to do with Mercy!

OK, look. The guy's gone AWOL, right?

Police can't find him.

You can't find him.

Maybe he just doesn't wanna be found.

One sec.

Hello?

Claudia. It's George Delal.

Mr East has decided to return the inheritance.

- He's in my office now, starting the paperwork. - No!

No! Do not let him sign ANYTHING until I get Music there, OK?

I'll be back in an hour! Less!

Claudia?

Hello? Excuse me?!

Oh my God.

Come.

Are you OK?

You have to put in an injunction! What?

You can't do this. Look at him!

But we're almost there! No, no, no, no.

He is not capable of making a decision!

He has no autonomy. This is not his choice!

He came to us. No, no.

This is all wro-

Stay the fuck away from me!

I need help.

"Claudia, what the hell is going on? Where are you? You're-"

So you live here too?

Yuh neva interested eena chit chat di laas time wi met. Wah yuh waah?

You said you were a spiritual healer.

Do you know what a zombi is?

Look at me.

You think I'm a terrible person.

I think a terrible person would enjoy doing this.

I do not enjoy this.

This is justice.

For what you did.

Dad?

What happened?

Oh!

Oh, I- I had an accident.

Are you in hospital? No, no, no.

I- I'm fine, don't worry.

You said you'd call me every day.

I did, didn't I?

But what happened to your face?

I told you, pet. I had an accident.

Where's your mother today?

She's working downstairs.

Who's looking after you?

I'm not a baby, you know.

But it's a bit boring. It's better at our house.

Is that a gun?

Do you want to see?

Gunpowder...

...in the pan on the side.

Close it.

More gunpowder...

...in the barrel.

Shot.

Wadding to hold it in place.

Would you like to have a go?

I can't. Why not?

I'm not even allowed to come there, you said.

Of course you can come here. This is your home.

But you said it's horrible there.

I'll call you back.

Good afternoon.

I couldn't get through on the phone.

I thought we sorted everything.

This is Jamaica, not so straightforward.

I may have found a way to expedite the process,

but I can't get hold of Mr East.

Is there any way you could connect us?

You're in luck. One moment.

I'm restoring some antiques.

You all done?

Mr East, I wouldn't be doing my job

if I didn't make this absolutely clear.

This is not an apportioned agreement.

The entire 50-million-pound estate will be returned to Mr Connaught.

You won't see any share of it.

Wonderful.

I will push this through-

...today.

If you need anything else,

you have my details.

So you'll help me?

Dis wah yuh a talk bout a nuh ah joke.

Dis a ah possession.

Duppy wid skin.

An eff yuh waah fi save dem, yuh haffi cross ova,

an aks di ancestors fi guidance.

What are you saying?

A spirit journey.

A quest to test your worthiness.

If you make it through,

you'll get the answers and find a way to help your friend.

Mi cyaan guarantee you'll survive it.

Sorry, baby.

The spirit journey can kill you?

I see it happen once.

Once isn't a lot- It's enough.

I opened that trunk.

Angelo's dead because of me.

But it's not too late for the others.

Cudjoe and Oliver.

Tell me what I have to do.

Alright.

Five hundred thousand.

Dollars?!

That's like... two grand! You want me help or not?

Fine.

Bathroom's back deh so.

Wash.

Trim your nails.

You have to be clean.

How did you know about my dream?

At the hotel.

You knew about these dreams I've been having.

A dream is a message from your ancestors.

Obviously trying to guide you tru dis spiritual hataclaps.

But they started before I got here.

When?

When I took the job.

So, it's when you tried to get ahead

by lining the pockets of this white man?

Maybe eena dis crisis ah likkle langa dan yuh think.

Come here.

How does it work?

I tell yuh dis is your journey, not mine.

Have you done this before?

Mercy? Ay! Let me concentrate now, man!

I'm just asking the question! Enuh wah? One million.

What?! Yuh rush me.

Put me at risk.

Yuh pay double time. Upfront. Cash.

Dad was right about you.

Can you help me or not?!

No.

But you look good.

"You meet your ancestors clean...

Light the candle.

Ancestors!

Ibaye, ibaye.

Ancestors!

Eh! We call upon you for guidance!

We call upon you...

Mmm!

Ancestors. Aye.

Taak up now, girl. No you say you want answers?

I don't know what you want me to do? Just ask!

Ey! Mmm.

Yes...

Ancestors. Yes, yes, yes!

I... need your help.

Mm-hmm!

I want to exorcise a spirit.

Mm-hmm!

Mmm.

I- I want to help Cudjoe.

Ey!

I don't want him to be an eternal slave.

I don't want him to be responsible for-

Ho! Ha!

This is serious, Mercy!

Piss off!

Ahh. Mercy, it's not funny!

You don't know us.

But we know you.

We have had council.

Know what burns.

- Oh, I'm just gonna go check on baby McKenzie. - OK.

So beautiful.

Look what we did.

Do you want another blanket?

What about Esi?

It's African.

It's not a proper name though, is it?

I think several thousand people would beg to differ.

I'm not calling my daughter 'Easy'.

Ess-ee.

I like Claudia.

You like Claudia Schiffer.

You OK?

Call Mercy.

Tell her she arrive safely.

I'm not leaving you.

Go home. And come back fresh tomorrow?

Miss Schiffer needs her beauty sleep.

I'll be fine.

There we go. Ah.

Shhh.

Hi, little Claudia.

You looking for me?

Oh! I thought you'd be fast asleep by now.

You must be knackered.

My stitches are hurting.

They will do, love. You've just had major surgery.

It doesn't feel right.

OK, let me take baby and I'll have a look.

Come here.

Hello.

Let's have a look.

They do look a little bit sore.

I'll get the doctor to come and have a little look.

In the meantime, try and get some rest.

Let's try the other one.

Oh, God. Fuck's sake!

You see? It looks purple.

Here... It looks fine to me.

You're otherwise healthy aren't you, Miss McKenzie?

Mrs.

Wait, they were taken ages ago.

I know you're busy.

I wouldn't waste your time with something I could handle.

I just wanna feed my daughter.

I can't hold her, I can't lift my baby.

So, please.

Could you just take another look? Please.

I'll get a nurse to bring you some Paracetamol.

We'll get you checked out then.

OK?

You're gonna be absolutely fine.

Trust me.

Hey! Wait!

Hey!

HEY!

WAIT!

Everything OK?

Honestly. You'd think she was a paying customer.

Can you give her some painkillers?

See ya! Bye.

Come sit down. Come sit, come sit down. Sit down.

Mummy's tooth.

Dad told me she had an infection. Hmm?

She did.

And she begged for help.

They just left her to suffer.

Why?

I don't think I would've believed it if I hadn't seen it myself.

I got the answers I was looking for.

I need Cudjoe's tooth.

The tooth roun di duppy neck? Mm-hmm.

Wah yaah gan do wid it? Destroy it.

Yes. You sure?

What else could the tooth in my hand have meant?

I'm not leaving him to suffer alone like my mother did.

You don't have to come.

Our family never had money.

Never.

Sometimes it got real desperate.

But Stacy-Ann was there to take care ah wi.

Always sending money when we need it.

And who took care of her?

Then Cudjoe's back to normal.

Then what if it don't work?

Then he spends an eternity being tormented by a fucking mad witch!

I don't like that plan anymore. It's your plan!

You wanted to do it your way, so we're doing it your way, what's-
