[coughs]
Mum!
Mum!
Fucking wake up.
You alright?
[coughs]
Fuck!
[coughs]
Mum, mum, you with
me? Get up, get up.
[coughs]
Fucking hell..
Are you serious?
Have you not inhaled
enough smoke already?
Do you want to die?
I was having a dream.
About the wolf.
What wolf?
The wolf that took my arm.
I thought you lost your arm
in a car accident. Mum!
DNA is like a blueprint
passed down from our parents
and their parents before them.
But this inheritance
isn't always perfect.
You see, DNA doesn't just
carry the traits that we
consider to be strengths.
It also carries
biological imperfections,
such as genetic disorders.
Now, while we are
shaped by our DNA,
it doesn't
necessarily define us.
Red.
Redelle.
Hi.
Am I boring you?
Yeah kinda..
Look Redelle..
I think you better leave.
Thank God.
I haven't got all day.
Come on.
Come on.
Fuck off!
Right.
Biological imperfections. So.
Have you seen a
new Marvel movie?
It's out in cinemas.
Nope.
Well how come?
I don't really like the cinema.
Who doesn't like
the cinema? I don't.
All right.
Why are you always
so mad at everything?
What? What's your problem?
You have no fucking idea.
[classical music plays]
What's up with you?
[classical music continues]
Mum.
Mum?
Redelle.
Redelle.
Do you have a next of kin?
You can contact
Father?
No.
No relatives at all.
How many fucking times
do I have to say it?
There's no one.
Then we have to find
someone to take it in.
legally.
It's going to take
a bit of time.
I have a grandmother.
So now you do have a right.
She's like a
countess in Scotland.
Really?
I've never spoken to her.
Then perhaps you should.
[phone dialing tone]
Hello.
Hello is this.. Lady Penelope.
It is. Who's speaking?
It's Redelle.
Redelle Riding.
Scarlett's daughter.
Hello.
I wasn't expecting
this today.
Um..
She's Dead.
What?
Mum. She overdosed.
Oh.
Oh, dear.
I've got nowhere to go.
Just pack your things.
Come live with us.
Get yourself here.
Come home.
You'll one for
nothing here.
You'll have the best
schooling here.
Your mother should never
have moved to the city.
It ruined her.
You must be lady Redelle?
Red.
Your grandmother.
She asked me to pick you up.
Who are you?
Malcolm.
I take care of the grounds.
Well..
you getting in?
I don't bite.
It's a bad habit that.
It'll kill ya.
What do you do again?
I look after the grounds.
I big is the grounds.
You'll see for
yourself soon enough.
[classical music plays]
Riding a state.
It's been in your family
fot two centuries.
Not my family.
I'm also the gamekeeper.
You killed all these.
Welcome to the wild country.
[soft guitar plays]
Lady Sienna.
Sorry to scare you.
I'm Mary.
That's your great grandmother,
Lady Sienna.
That little girl is
your grandmother.
And that's her little brother.
Thought I was an only child.
He died at a very young age.
She doesn't like to speak of it.
I'll show you to your room.
That one's your
great grandfather.
The Earl of Gray Pelt.
Died of a broken heart they say.
Make yourself at home dear.
This was your mum's room.
That was your mum's
favorite color.
Used to wear it
all the time.
Apparently.
Penelope thought
you might like it.
My.. You look just like her.
Hi.. Gran.
Come.
Everything will be okay now.
[classical music plays]
Poor girl.
I wish she'd picked
up the phone.
Yeah, well, she
only had one hand.
She must have been a burden
for you to carry.
Glad to get it off my back.
She was never the same
after the accident.
The car accident?
Aye.
Cos she said a wolf ate her arm.
[plates clatter]
That's what she said.
Before she died.
Your mother lost her
arm in a car accident
because she was driving home
high on drugs.
To be fair, she was
smashed when she said it.
You are not on drugs, are you?
No.
It ruined her.
Don't suffer the same fate.
I'm nothing like her.
[birds sqwawk]
Redelle.
Redelle.
Don't come in here. Stay away.
Stay away Redelle.
Don't come in.
Mum?
Don't come here Red.
Mum?
Don't come here.
Stay away Redelle.
Don't come here.
Stay away REDELLE!
[scream]
[ominous music plays]
[branches break in the distance]
[hip hop music plays]
My lady.
My lady, would you like a drink?
I'm no lady. You
can stop with that.
No, thanks.
Mary,
Is town far?
I need some vape.
Maybe Malcolm can drive you?
No, thanks.
No busses, taxis or anything
of the sorts in these parts.
I'm afraid.
We might have a bicycle.
[footsteps]
[door creaks]
There it is.
Belonged to your mother.
That one.
Probably need some pumping up.
I'm sure Malcolm has a foot
pump in here somewhere.
Weird to think she
actually rode this.
Before the accident,
of course.
The car accident.
I'd better put
breakfast on.
Oh Red.
Stay on the road.
Keep out the woods.
[electronic music plays]
[wolves howl]
[thud, birds scatter]
A better place for her to rest.
Don't you think?
You're home now, dear.
Why don't you speak?
All these years.
your mother was a troubled girl.
You mean crazy.
It's a disease.
With your mother.
It started out as nightmares.
[scream]
And then she started to think
they were reality.
We tried our best,
but it wasn't enough.
[twinkly music]
[pulsing music]
You okay?
Do you need any help?
Wait.
[music intensifies]
[scream]
[school bell rings]
[girl cries]
[classical music
plays in the distance]
[classical music get's louder]
[classical music plays]
[clap, music stops]
And to what do we
owe this disturbance?
Sorry, I didn't
mean to interrupt.
What's your name, child?
Redelle
Redelle Riding.
Riding?
I thought you looked familiar.
Your mother was a trouble maker.
Don't talk about my mother.
Have you come here for trouble?
Drugs.
Her and her accomplice,
Janet Hughes.
I remember them both.
And she still peddles that filth
from that shoddy little pub.
Are you on drugs, too?
I'm nothing like her.
Ahhh. There she is.
The apple doesn't fall
far from the tree.
[background music plays]
Coke please.
You got any ID?
It's a coke.
Pub Rules.
Who makes the rules?
I do.
Who are you?
Can I help you, little girl?
You. Janet?
Who's asking?
Apparently you knew my mum?
You Scarlet's girl?
How's she doing?
Dead.
I better get you that coke..
Yeah, I'll take a
vodka with that.
[background music continues]
Me and your mum got
close in high school.
Before that we hardly spoke.
Before she lost her arm?
Aye.
We heard about the accident.
Didn't see her for months.
And when she came back,
She were different.
Different?
Different how?
In pain.
You gave her pain relief.
Hey, listen,
if you're looking to point
the finger at someone, I
suggest you look elsewhere.
Like where?
Your mum came to me,
asked me for drugs.
I didn't push anything on her.
You don't see me
sticking needles in my arms.
She stuck them in a neck.
You what?
She only had one arm, so she'd
shoot them up and neck vein.
Jesus.
Do you remember
the car accident?
Aye.
And the funny thing about that.
Your mum didn't drive.
Then how did you lose her arm?
Do what your mum did.
And forget about it.
[toilet flushes]
What the fuck am i doing here.
[pub ambience]
y'alight?
I'll play the winner.
That'll be me after
the beat this wee dick.
Alright, fuck off Ewan.
Told you.
So.. You're not from
around here, I'm guessing.
Yeah. No shit.
So what brings you here, anyway?
I'm staying with my grandma.
Where is Granny's?
The Riding Estate.
What?
So is there anything
to do around here or?
Do you wanna go out for a smoke?
That is good.
[giggles]
Pass it over.
Woah..
[laughs]
So, Um..
So my mum's gone back down to
London to get work, and I, I
live with Ewan and Andy now.
She could'nt live with the shame
walking around with this prick.
You're a prick.
So, you're like nobility, then?
Not quite.
I grew up on a council
estate with my mum.
Where's she then?
Wolf got her.
[chuckles]
What?
She's only joking.
Aye well you shouldn't
joke about that.
Oh fucking hell here we go.
What?
Well there's a fucking
crazy wolf lives in
those woods, you know.
Look, I keep telling you, wolves
are extinct in this country.
Aye well it ate a mother
and a child in the 70s.
Bollocks.
It ate those boys too.
the missing boy.
Aye.
And maybe Ewan's mum and all.
Your mom went missing?
Years ago.
Probably ran off.
Look,
I keep telling you, the wolf's
an old law as a coping mechanism
for people who couldn't
stand this place and left.
Aye, people always go
missing around here eh.
So, do you need a
place to stay tonight?
[background music plays]
Is that your mum?
Yeah.
Come here.
[music lifts]
[knock! knock!]
Can i have a word?
Martin tell's me that's
Lady Penelope's
Grand Daughter?
Yeah.
[crash]
You fucking stupid man?
You know the Riding's
run this town.
You'll get banged up in
prison without a trial.
And I've been
to prison Ewan.
I don't particularly
intend on going back there
because you're not
thinking with this but
thinking with that.
Stay away.
I'm just gonna go
sleep on the couch.
[music plays]
[changes music to classical]
[gasps]
What the fuck?
What the fuck are you doing?
Nothing, just..
couch was lumpy.
So you thought you'd come back
and try your luck instead.
Is that it?
What?
We had a few drinks, you gave me
drugs. You bought me back here.
We had a bit of fun.
Is that not good enough?
What the fuck?
Wait where are you going?
Stay the fuck away from me!
Wait Red!
Red!
[door slams]
Oh, fuck!
Hey.
You okay?
Do you need a lift?
[tyre blows]
Fuck!
[ominous music play]
[whistles]
Who are you?
Thomas.
What are you doing out here?
Live here.
You live in the woods?
Aye.
Look, I've got to get home.
Home?
Only home around here
is Riding Estate.
[distant gunshot]
The hunter.
Come.
Come.
[distant gunshot]
[gunshot]
[close gunshot]
[gunshot]
Shhhh, not just deer he stalks.
Heard there's a wolf out here.
No wolf.
Just me.
My mum said sshe had
her arm eaten by a wolf.
Scarlett?
Yeah how'd do you know?
[gunshot]
He's near.
How do you know my mother?
It's just up here.
Hurry!
Wait!
[gunshot]
Thomas!
How do you know my mum?
Oh my God!
You okay?
Oh my. Jesus.
What's your name?
What's your name?
Charlie.
[chains rattle]
[impact thud]
[high pitch ringing rises]
[gasp]
[choking]
You smell like her.
[screams]
[rhythmic music starts]
[screams]
[door handle shakes]
Granny!
[knock, knock, knock]
Granny the door's locked.
[door unlocks]
Hello, milady.
It's nice to see
you up and about.
I brought you some food.
Why's the door locked?
I need a police.
Lady Penelope wishes
for you to take your pills.
Mary, listen. I
was just attacked.
The missing boy.
He's still alive.
If you please.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Get out my way.
Granny!
GRANNY!
What the fuck?
[screams]
Get the fuck off me!
Mary do it now!
It'll only take a minute.
Mary come on do it!
All better.
Rest up Lady Red
[classical music plays]
Eat up dear.
Your food will get cold.
What's happening?
You know, i lost my mother too,
when i was a little girl.
So I know what
you're going through.
And then my father passed,
and I inherited
this land because
I was the only child.
The only child left.
That is.
He always wanted a boy.
But never got the boy he wanted.
I see you've met
my brother Thomas.
Technically, the land is his
being the male heir.
Fortunately, nobody
knows he's alive.
And we want to keep it that way.
[thud]
One day
all this will be yours.
And..
as a Riding
you do, what you must
to protect your family name.
[cries in pain]
You are young.
But you will learn.
You just need a little breaking.
[crying]
[whimpers]
What have you done?
I can't move.
When breaking a horse,
my father would hit it
with a large piece of cane.
[thud]
[cries]
Of course, he did
the same to us.
It worked on me.
[thud]
[cries]
Thomas
was a feral child
like you.
[thud]
[gasps]
Father would chain
him up in the woods
for weeks on end.
Once he beat Thomas's
legs so badly,
he broke his bones.
[thud]
[cries]
Poor little Thomas
starved
and alone.
He got so hungry,
he ate the rats
that were trying to eat him.
[barks]
[screams and blood squelching]
[thud]
[cries]
He was out there
for three months.
Mother finally had enough.
She went there to free him,
but he.
Let's just say his hunger,
got the better of him.
[heavy breathing]
How can you cover up for him?
If you still do
not understand why,
then you have more
breaking to do.
[heavy thud and
continued screams]
No dinner for her tonight.
I hope he takes your arm
just like he did
your stupid mother.
[whimpers]
Anything broken?
Doctor?
No. She's fine.
Just keep her home.
Help.
Yes
we'll get you help.
So much like her mother.
Addiction is a disease, doctor.
Indeed it is.
If her psychotic fantasies
continue, I would suggest
psychiatric treatment
to prevent further harm to
herself and possibly others.
I'd be happy to admit her.
There'll be no
need for that.
[sharp noises]
[cries]
[classical music plays]
Eat up, dear.
Uh, ah.
Medicine first.
Good girl.
I knew you'd come around.
Life is so much better when
we just uphold our traditions.
Everyone else can
behave like animals.
But we cannot
afford that luxury.
We must set an example.
You're not a child anymore.
You're a woman.
Our family lineage
must continue.
Eat up i said.
[birds tweet]
Morning Lady Red.
How are we feeling today?
Better.
Good.
Then take your pills.
Good girl.
Dying for a smoke.
I'll get you your vape Lady Red.
Thank you, Mary.
The view is so pretty here.
It's not so bad here.
Once you realize
you have obligations
and a duty to the town.
Not just yourself.
Mary.
Did Thomas eat my Mum's arm?
Took her months to recover.
She turned to drugs after that.
Then one day she just
disappeared.
Honestly, we thought
Thomas finished her off.
He did.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those
that sin against us.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those
that sin against us.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those
who sin against us.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those
who sin against us.
that sin against us.
Sin against us.
[operatic music plays]
[keys jingle]
[keys jingle]
[floorboards creak]
[keys jingle]
Where do you think you're going?
Where's Mary?
You stupid girl
get back to your room!
[lock clicks open]
Malcolm!
Get her!
Malcolm!
[whimpers]
[car engine approaches]
I'd get in the car if i was you.
If I fire the shot,
he'll hear
and he'll come for you.
And then say that
he's been out here so long,
he can see in the dark.
Last chance Red.
Come back to the house.
You'll be safe there.
All right.
Have it your way girl.
[loud gunshot]
Let's see how you get on alone.
[engine starts]
FUCK!
[video game plays]
[door bell rings]
Get the door.
Ewan got the door.
[door bell rings again]
I'm busy.
Martin,
you get it.
Aye
this will only take me
five minutes?
[doorbell rings]
One of you's get the door.
Fuck's sake!
Come on.
What the hell?
I always knew
those Ridings were fucked up.
Maybe he ate Ewans Mum aswell?
Shut-up Martin.
We have to phone the police.
Already called them.
You what?
They're on their way.
Please tell me that
you're having me on.
Well, what was I
supposed to do?
Fuck's sake, Martin my room.
The gun's in a bag.
Out to the car now..
But they're not going
to search the place.
Are you willing
to take that risk?
Fucking twat!
[doorbell chimes]
[doorbell chimes]
[police radio chatter]
Thomas.
He's the wolf
that's been killing.
The wolf is a myth.
He's been living in those woods
for decades.
Decades?
How old is he?
I don't know,
like 60.
So 60 year old man
chased you down?
He's not normal.
Because he's a werewolf
with superhuman powers.
Constable.
Show them your legs.
See.
Her Gran did that.
What, Lady Penelope?
Aye.
Have you kids taken
anything tonight?
Who the fuck are
you calling kid?
Hey, calm down.
Calm down?
This is my fucking house
i'll do what the fuck i like!
You could always do what
the fuck you like
down at the station?
The boy's still alive.
What boy?
I don't know one of them.
All right.
I think we're gonna
have to take you in,
if you please.
You send a search party
for that lad or what?
Oh, and who's going
to be paying for that?
You?
We'll check when lights up.
He'll be dead by then.
[sighs]
Cunts.
I thought we were going
to the police station.
Hey!
Just settle down.
Everything's going to be okay.
No, no, no, I can't
go back there.
Do you hear me?, I
can't go back there!
We're just going to
have a word with your
grandmother. Please sit back.
[panicked cries]
Out.
No!
Get out the car now!
Oh, my dear, we were
so worried about you.
We found her at
the McKenzie house.
Oh. Stay away from
those animals.
I told her that.
Thank you. George.
I killed Mary,
she's dead upstairs. Check!
Bring her inside.
[cries and struggling]
What the fuck is wrong with you?
So, like her mother.
Goodnight My Lady.
[car door shuts]
[slap]
That's for Mary.
You're just like your mother.
[laughs]
Oh you find that
funny do you?
Yeah i'm glad i'm like her.
And not like you.
You so badly want to be like her
the we'll treat you like her!
String her up.
Let Thomas have his way.
[thud]
[whimpers]
[gun shot]
[struggling cries]
[phone dialing tone]
Grey Pelt Police station
front desk.
My friend
was taken in a couple hours ago.
She was attacked.
I just wanted to make
sure she was okay.
Okay.
Who's your friend?
Red.
Redelle Riding.
Officer Dixon or something
took her in.
Sergeant Dixon finished
his shift hours ago.
He hasn't been
in all evening.
Oh, maybe it was the other
officer or something.
I don't know.
Nobody's been
in all evening.
What?..
Perhaps they took her home.
[door knocks and opens]
Andy.
What the hell dude..
Those fuckers never took Red
to the station.
And why is that my problem?
We've got to go help her.
Get the fuck out man.
Hey!
Those bastards killed my mum.
Your fucking aunt.
You don't know that.
Aye
I do.
Her car was found near
the riding's estate woods.
Fine.
I'll fucking walk
there if I have to.
What the fuck?
Forget it.
[footsteps approach]
[door slams]
[cries]
[sniffs]
I
can smell your fear.
[sniffs]
No. Thomas. No.
All the better to eat you with.
[cries]
Just like Mum.
Let's see
How much like Mum you are.
Thomas, no please.
Please Thomas.
Not Thomas..
Not Thomas..
Daddy.
[heavy cries]
[panting]
[engine turns off]
So what now?
[pulsing music start]
Red!
Everyone wants to
be a fucking hero.
Red!
Red!
[distant crying]
RED!
[cries]
[distant crying]
RED!
Red!
RED!
Red!
Jesus fuck.
He was here.
[cries]
Hey, I've got you.
Okay?
[door slams]
Oh Shit.
I've got you okay.
Get in the car.
He's not gonna shoot you.
FUCK!
[engine struggles to start]
[engine struggles to start]
Get in!
[engine starts]
[gearbox grinds]
Get down!
Stop shooting my fucking car.
[tyre screeches]
Fuck!
Fuck!
Stop!
Stop the car.
Andy keep driving.
Stop the fucking car!
Just stop will ya!
[engine turns off]
Ehy the fuck have we
stopped the fucking car?
Are you for real?
This Ewan.
All this. Me.
My mom.
The killings.
I'm part of it.
I'm part of him.
Part of who?
The reason why all these people
are missing is my
Dad.
He's a fucking monster.
That's why we have to go back.
At least I have to
try and do something
I can't let it go on like this.
I cannot leave that
little boy in there.
I can't let you go Red.
[car door opens]
He's right.
You can't go back.
But we can.
[pulsing music]
Martin.
You stay in the car.
If we're not back
in an hour, well
get help.
Thank you.
You can thank me later.
If we're still alive.
[wind blows through trees]
You know you're going?
Just look for chains
and a bad smell.
[owl hoots]
[animals rustle]
This is it.
Oh. What the fuck is this place?
Shit that's him.
It's gonna be okay, alright?
We're gonna get you out of here.
It's Charlie Manning.
It's alright Charlie lad.
We're gonna get you
out of here, okay?
He's all chained up.
[chains clatter]
[chains clatter]
[chains clatter]
I fucking got him.
Ewan!
Ewan!
Where are you?
Where the fuck are you?
[gunshot]
[shotgun cocks]
the first kill is
always the hardest.
It's not my first.
It's all right.
Stay by me.
Stay there Charlie.
[cries]
Charlie.
Charlie.
Charlie!
Taste it Charlie.
Thomas!
They always wanted a boy!
Just not like me.
Let him go.
I only want him to taste it.
Let me.
Let me.
Let me taste it.
Please.
Dad.
[slicing]
Try this.
It worked for me.
You see?
I see.
[classical music plays]
[coughs]
Mum!
Mum!
Fucking wake up.
You alright?
[coughs]
Fuck!
[coughs]
Mum, mum, you with
me? Get up, get up.
[coughs]
Fucking hell..
Are you serious?
Have you not inhaled
enough smoke already?
Do you want to die?
I was having a dream.
About the wolf.
What wolf?
The wolf that took my arm.
I thought you lost your arm
in a car accident. Mum!
DNA is like a blueprint
passed down from our parents
and their parents before them.
But this inheritance
isn't always perfect.
You see, DNA doesn't just
carry the traits that we
consider to be strengths.
It also carries
biological imperfections,
such as genetic disorders.
Now, while we are
shaped by our DNA,
it doesn't
necessarily define us.
Red.
Redelle.
Hi.
Am I boring you?
Yeah kinda..
Look Redelle..
I think you better leave.
Thank God.
I haven't got all day.
Come on.
Come on.
Fuck off!
Right.
Biological imperfections. So.
Have you seen a
new Marvel movie?
It's out in cinemas.
Nope.
Well how come?
I don't really like the cinema.
Who doesn't like
the cinema? I don't.
All right.
Why are you always
so mad at everything?
What? What's your problem?
You have no fucking idea.
[classical music plays]
What's up with you?
[classical music continues]
Mum.
Mum?
Redelle.
Redelle.
Do you have a next of kin?
You can contact
Father?
No.
No relatives at all.
How many fucking times
do I have to say it?
There's no one.
Then we have to find
someone to take it in.
legally.
It's going to take
a bit of time.
I have a grandmother.
So now you do have a right.
She's like a
countess in Scotland.
Really?
I've never spoken to her.
Then perhaps you should.
[phone dialing tone]
Hello.
Hello is this.. Lady Penelope.
It is. Who's speaking?
It's Redelle.
Redelle Riding.
Scarlett's daughter.
Hello.
I wasn't expecting
this today.
Um..
She's Dead.
What?
Mum. She overdosed.
Oh.
Oh, dear.
I've got nowhere to go.
Just pack your things.
Come live with us.
Get yourself here.
Come home.
You'll one for
nothing here.
You'll have the best
schooling here.
Your mother should never
have moved to the city.
It ruined her.
You must be lady Redelle?
Red.
Your grandmother.
She asked me to pick you up.
Who are you?
Malcolm.
I take care of the grounds.
Well..
you getting in?
I don't bite.
It's a bad habit that.
It'll kill ya.
What do you do again?
I look after the grounds.
I big is the grounds.
You'll see for
yourself soon enough.
[classical music plays]
Riding a state.
It's been in your family
fot two centuries.
Not my family.
I'm also the gamekeeper.
You killed all these.
Welcome to the wild country.
[soft guitar plays]
Lady Sienna.
Sorry to scare you.
I'm Mary.
That's your great grandmother,
Lady Sienna.
That little girl is
your grandmother.
And that's her little brother.
Thought I was an only child.
He died at a very young age.
She doesn't like to speak of it.
I'll show you to your room.
That one's your
great grandfather.
The Earl of Gray Pelt.
Died of a broken heart they say.
Make yourself at home dear.
This was your mum's room.
That was your mum's
favorite color.
Used to wear it
all the time.
Apparently.
Penelope thought
you might like it.
My.. You look just like her.
Hi.. Gran.
Come.
Everything will be okay now.
[classical music plays]
Poor girl.
I wish she'd picked
up the phone.
Yeah, well, she
only had one hand.
She must have been a burden
for you to carry.
Glad to get it off my back.
She was never the same
after the accident.
The car accident?
Aye.
Cos she said a wolf ate her arm.
[plates clatter]
That's what she said.
Before she died.
Your mother lost her
arm in a car accident
because she was driving home
high on drugs.
To be fair, she was
smashed when she said it.
You are not on drugs, are you?
No.
It ruined her.
Don't suffer the same fate.
I'm nothing like her.
[birds sqwawk]
Redelle.
Redelle.
Don't come in here. Stay away.
Stay away Redelle.
Don't come in.
Mum?
Don't come here Red.
Mum?
Don't come here.
Stay away Redelle.
Don't come here.
Stay away REDELLE!
[scream]
[ominous music plays]
[branches break in the distance]
[hip hop music plays]
My lady.
My lady, would you like a drink?
I'm no lady. You
can stop with that.
No, thanks.
Mary,
Is town far?
I need some vape.
Maybe Malcolm can drive you?
No, thanks.
No busses, taxis or anything
of the sorts in these parts.
I'm afraid.
We might have a bicycle.
[footsteps]
[door creaks]
There it is.
Belonged to your mother.
That one.
Probably need some pumping up.
I'm sure Malcolm has a foot
pump in here somewhere.
Weird to think she
actually rode this.
Before the accident,
of course.
The car accident.
I'd better put
breakfast on.
Oh Red.
Stay on the road.
Keep out the woods.
[electronic music plays]
[wolves howl]
[thud, birds scatter]
A better place for her to rest.
Don't you think?
You're home now, dear.
Why don't you speak?
All these years.
your mother was a troubled girl.
You mean crazy.
It's a disease.
With your mother.
It started out as nightmares.
[scream]
And then she started to think
they were reality.
We tried our best,
but it wasn't enough.
[twinkly music]
[pulsing music]
You okay?
Do you need any help?
Wait.
[music intensifies]
[scream]
[school bell rings]
[girl cries]
[classical music
plays in the distance]
[classical music get's louder]
[classical music plays]
[clap, music stops]
And to what do we
owe this disturbance?
Sorry, I didn't
mean to interrupt.
What's your name, child?
Redelle
Redelle Riding.
Riding?
I thought you looked familiar.
Your mother was a trouble maker.
Don't talk about my mother.
Have you come here for trouble?
Drugs.
Her and her accomplice,
Janet Hughes.
I remember them both.
And she still peddles that filth
from that shoddy little pub.
Are you on drugs, too?
I'm nothing like her.
Ahhh. There she is.
The apple doesn't fall
far from the tree.
[background music plays]
Coke please.
You got any ID?
It's a coke.
Pub Rules.
Who makes the rules?
I do.
Who are you?
Can I help you, little girl?
You. Janet?
Who's asking?
Apparently you knew my mum?
You Scarlet's girl?
How's she doing?
Dead.
I better get you that coke..
Yeah, I'll take a
vodka with that.
[background music continues]
Me and your mum got
close in high school.
Before that we hardly spoke.
Before she lost her arm?
Aye.
We heard about the accident.
Didn't see her for months.
And when she came back,
She were different.
Different?
Different how?
In pain.
You gave her pain relief.
Hey, listen,
if you're looking to point
the finger at someone, I
suggest you look elsewhere.
Like where?
Your mum came to me,
asked me for drugs.
I didn't push anything on her.
You don't see me
sticking needles in my arms.
She stuck them in a neck.
You what?
She only had one arm, so she'd
shoot them up and neck vein.
Jesus.
Do you remember
the car accident?
Aye.
And the funny thing about that.
Your mum didn't drive.
Then how did you lose her arm?
Do what your mum did.
And forget about it.
[toilet flushes]
What the fuck am i doing here.
[pub ambience]
y'alight?
I'll play the winner.
That'll be me after
the beat this wee dick.
Alright, fuck off Ewan.
Told you.
So.. You're not from
around here, I'm guessing.
Yeah. No shit.
So what brings you here, anyway?
I'm staying with my grandma.
Where is Granny's?
The Riding Estate.
What?
So is there anything
to do around here or?
Do you wanna go out for a smoke?
That is good.
[giggles]
Pass it over.
Woah..
[laughs]
So, Um..
So my mum's gone back down to
London to get work, and I, I
live with Ewan and Andy now.
She could'nt live with the shame
walking around with this prick.
You're a prick.
So, you're like nobility, then?
Not quite.
I grew up on a council
estate with my mum.
Where's she then?
Wolf got her.
[chuckles]
What?
She's only joking.
Aye well you shouldn't
joke about that.
Oh fucking hell here we go.
What?
Well there's a fucking
crazy wolf lives in
those woods, you know.
Look, I keep telling you, wolves
are extinct in this country.
Aye well it ate a mother
and a child in the 70s.
Bollocks.
It ate those boys too.
the missing boy.
Aye.
And maybe Ewan's mum and all.
Your mom went missing?
Years ago.
Probably ran off.
Look,
I keep telling you, the wolf's
an old law as a coping mechanism
for people who couldn't
stand this place and left.
Aye, people always go
missing around here eh.
So, do you need a
place to stay tonight?
[background music plays]
Is that your mum?
Yeah.
Come here.
[music lifts]
[knock! knock!]
Can i have a word?
Martin tell's me that's
Lady Penelope's
Grand Daughter?
Yeah.
[crash]
You fucking stupid man?
You know the Riding's
run this town.
You'll get banged up in
prison without a trial.
And I've been
to prison Ewan.
I don't particularly
intend on going back there
because you're not
thinking with this but
thinking with that.
Stay away.
I'm just gonna go
sleep on the couch.
[music plays]
[changes music to classical]
[gasps]
What the fuck?
What the fuck are you doing?
Nothing, just..
couch was lumpy.
So you thought you'd come back
and try your luck instead.
Is that it?
What?
We had a few drinks, you gave me
drugs. You bought me back here.
We had a bit of fun.
Is that not good enough?
What the fuck?
Wait where are you going?
Stay the fuck away from me!
Wait Red!
Red!
[door slams]
Oh, fuck!
Hey.
You okay?
Do you need a lift?
[tyre blows]
Fuck!
[ominous music play]
[whistles]
Who are you?
Thomas.
What are you doing out here?
Live here.
You live in the woods?
Aye.
Look, I've got to get home.
Home?
Only home around here
is Riding Estate.
[distant gunshot]
The hunter.
Come.
Come.
[distant gunshot]
[gunshot]
[close gunshot]
[gunshot]
Shhhh, not just deer he stalks.
Heard there's a wolf out here.
No wolf.
Just me.
My mum said sshe had
her arm eaten by a wolf.
Scarlett?
Yeah how'd do you know?
[gunshot]
He's near.
How do you know my mother?
It's just up here.
Hurry!
Wait!
[gunshot]
Thomas!
How do you know my mum?
Oh my God!
You okay?
Oh my. Jesus.
What's your name?
What's your name?
Charlie.
[chains rattle]
[impact thud]
[high pitch ringing rises]
[gasp]
[choking]
You smell like her.
[screams]
[rhythmic music starts]
[screams]
[door handle shakes]
Granny!
[knock, knock, knock]
Granny the door's locked.
[door unlocks]
Hello, milady.
It's nice to see
you up and about.
I brought you some food.
Why's the door locked?
I need a police.
Lady Penelope wishes
for you to take your pills.
Mary, listen. I
was just attacked.
The missing boy.
He's still alive.
If you please.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Get out my way.
Granny!
GRANNY!
What the fuck?
[screams]
Get the fuck off me!
Mary do it now!
It'll only take a minute.
Mary come on do it!
All better.
Rest up Lady Red
[classical music plays]
Eat up dear.
Your food will get cold.
What's happening?
You know, i lost my mother too,
when i was a little girl.
So I know what
you're going through.
And then my father passed,
and I inherited
this land because
I was the only child.
The only child left.
That is.
He always wanted a boy.
But never got the boy he wanted.
I see you've met
my brother Thomas.
Technically, the land is his
being the male heir.
Fortunately, nobody
knows he's alive.
And we want to keep it that way.
[thud]
One day
all this will be yours.
And..
as a Riding
you do, what you must
to protect your family name.
[cries in pain]
You are young.
But you will learn.
You just need a little breaking.
[crying]
[whimpers]
What have you done?
I can't move.
When breaking a horse,
my father would hit it
with a large piece of cane.
[thud]
[cries]
Of course, he did
the same to us.
It worked on me.
[thud]
[cries]
Thomas
was a feral child
like you.
[thud]
[gasps]
Father would chain
him up in the woods
for weeks on end.
Once he beat Thomas's
legs so badly,
he broke his bones.
[thud]
[cries]
Poor little Thomas
starved
and alone.
He got so hungry,
he ate the rats
that were trying to eat him.
[barks]
[screams and blood squelching]
[thud]
[cries]
He was out there
for three months.
Mother finally had enough.
She went there to free him,
but he.
Let's just say his hunger,
got the better of him.
[heavy breathing]
How can you cover up for him?
If you still do
not understand why,
then you have more
breaking to do.
[heavy thud and
continued screams]
No dinner for her tonight.
I hope he takes your arm
just like he did
your stupid mother.
[whimpers]
Anything broken?
Doctor?
No. She's fine.
Just keep her home.
Help.
Yes
we'll get you help.
So much like her mother.
Addiction is a disease, doctor.
Indeed it is.
If her psychotic fantasies
continue, I would suggest
psychiatric treatment
to prevent further harm to
herself and possibly others.
I'd be happy to admit her.
There'll be no
need for that.
[sharp noises]
[cries]
[classical music plays]
Eat up, dear.
Uh, ah.
Medicine first.
Good girl.
I knew you'd come around.
Life is so much better when
we just uphold our traditions.
Everyone else can
behave like animals.
But we cannot
afford that luxury.
We must set an example.
You're not a child anymore.
You're a woman.
Our family lineage
must continue.
Eat up i said.
[birds tweet]
Morning Lady Red.
How are we feeling today?
Better.
Good.
Then take your pills.
Good girl.
Dying for a smoke.
I'll get you your vape Lady Red.
Thank you, Mary.
The view is so pretty here.
It's not so bad here.
Once you realize
you have obligations
and a duty to the town.
Not just yourself.
Mary.
Did Thomas eat my Mum's arm?
Took her months to recover.
She turned to drugs after that.
Then one day she just
disappeared.
Honestly, we thought
Thomas finished her off.
He did.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those
that sin against us.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those
that sin against us.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those
who sin against us.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those
who sin against us.
that sin against us.
Sin against us.
[operatic music plays]
[keys jingle]
[keys jingle]
[floorboards creak]
[keys jingle]
Where do you think you're going?
Where's Mary?
You stupid girl
get back to your room!
[lock clicks open]
Malcolm!
Get her!
Malcolm!
[whimpers]
[car engine approaches]
I'd get in the car if i was you.
If I fire the shot,
he'll hear
and he'll come for you.
And then say that
he's been out here so long,
he can see in the dark.
Last chance Red.
Come back to the house.
You'll be safe there.
All right.
Have it your way girl.
[loud gunshot]
Let's see how you get on alone.
[engine starts]
FUCK!
[video game plays]
[door bell rings]
Get the door.
Ewan got the door.
[door bell rings again]
I'm busy.
Martin,
you get it.
Aye
this will only take me
five minutes?
[doorbell rings]
One of you's get the door.
Fuck's sake!
Come on.
What the hell?
I always knew
those Ridings were fucked up.
Maybe he ate Ewans Mum aswell?
Shut-up Martin.
We have to phone the police.
Already called them.
You what?
They're on their way.
Please tell me that
you're having me on.
Well, what was I
supposed to do?
Fuck's sake, Martin my room.
The gun's in a bag.
Out to the car now..
But they're not going
to search the place.
Are you willing
to take that risk?
Fucking twat!
[doorbell chimes]
[doorbell chimes]
[police radio chatter]
Thomas.
He's the wolf
that's been killing.
The wolf is a myth.
He's been living in those woods
for decades.
Decades?
How old is he?
I don't know,
like 60.
So 60 year old man
chased you down?
He's not normal.
Because he's a werewolf
with superhuman powers.
Constable.
Show them your legs.
See.
Her Gran did that.
What, Lady Penelope?
Aye.
Have you kids taken
anything tonight?
Who the fuck are
you calling kid?
Hey, calm down.
Calm down?
This is my fucking house
i'll do what the fuck i like!
You could always do what
the fuck you like
down at the station?
The boy's still alive.
What boy?
I don't know one of them.
All right.
I think we're gonna
have to take you in,
if you please.
You send a search party
for that lad or what?
Oh, and who's going
to be paying for that?
You?
We'll check when lights up.
He'll be dead by then.
[sighs]
Cunts.
I thought we were going
to the police station.
Hey!
Just settle down.
Everything's going to be okay.
No, no, no, I can't
go back there.
Do you hear me?, I
can't go back there!
We're just going to
have a word with your
grandmother. Please sit back.
[panicked cries]
Out.
No!
Get out the car now!
Oh, my dear, we were
so worried about you.
We found her at
the McKenzie house.
Oh. Stay away from
those animals.
I told her that.
Thank you. George.
I killed Mary,
she's dead upstairs. Check!
Bring her inside.
[cries and struggling]
What the fuck is wrong with you?
So, like her mother.
Goodnight My Lady.
[car door shuts]
[slap]
That's for Mary.
You're just like your mother.
[laughs]
Oh you find that
funny do you?
Yeah i'm glad i'm like her.
And not like you.
You so badly want to be like her
the we'll treat you like her!
String her up.
Let Thomas have his way.
[thud]
[whimpers]
[gun shot]
[struggling cries]
[phone dialing tone]
Grey Pelt Police station
front desk.
My friend
was taken in a couple hours ago.
She was attacked.
I just wanted to make
sure she was okay.
Okay.
Who's your friend?
Red.
Redelle Riding.
Officer Dixon or something
took her in.
Sergeant Dixon finished
his shift hours ago.
He hasn't been
in all evening.
Oh, maybe it was the other
officer or something.
I don't know.
Nobody's been
in all evening.
What?..
Perhaps they took her home.
[door knocks and opens]
Andy.
What the hell dude..
Those fuckers never took Red
to the station.
And why is that my problem?
We've got to go help her.
Get the fuck out man.
Hey!
Those bastards killed my mum.
Your fucking aunt.
You don't know that.
Aye
I do.
Her car was found near
the riding's estate woods.
Fine.
I'll fucking walk
there if I have to.
What the fuck?
Forget it.
[footsteps approach]
[door slams]
[cries]
[sniffs]
I
can smell your fear.
[sniffs]
No. Thomas. No.
All the better to eat you with.
[cries]
Just like Mum.
Let's see
How much like Mum you are.
Thomas, no please.
Please Thomas.
Not Thomas..
Not Thomas..
Daddy.
[heavy cries]
[panting]
[engine turns off]
So what now?
[pulsing music start]
Red!
Everyone wants to
be a fucking hero.
Red!
Red!
[distant crying]
RED!
[cries]
[distant crying]
RED!
Red!
RED!
Red!
Jesus fuck.
He was here.
[cries]
Hey, I've got you.
Okay?
[door slams]
Oh Shit.
I've got you okay.
Get in the car.
He's not gonna shoot you.
FUCK!
[engine struggles to start]
[engine struggles to start]
Get in!
[engine starts]
[gearbox grinds]
Get down!
Stop shooting my fucking car.
[tyre screeches]
Fuck!
Fuck!
Stop!
Stop the car.
Andy keep driving.
Stop the fucking car!
Just stop will ya!
[engine turns off]
Ehy the fuck have we
stopped the fucking car?
Are you for real?
This Ewan.
All this. Me.
My mom.
The killings.
I'm part of it.
I'm part of him.
Part of who?
The reason why all these people
are missing is my
Dad.
He's a fucking monster.
That's why we have to go back.
At least I have to
try and do something
I can't let it go on like this.
I cannot leave that
little boy in there.
I can't let you go Red.
[car door opens]
He's right.
You can't go back.
But we can.
[pulsing music]
Martin.
You stay in the car.
If we're not back
in an hour, well
get help.
Thank you.
You can thank me later.
If we're still alive.
[wind blows through trees]
You know you're going?
Just look for chains
and a bad smell.
[owl hoots]
[animals rustle]
This is it.
Oh. What the fuck is this place?
Shit that's him.
It's gonna be okay, alright?
We're gonna get you out of here.
It's Charlie Manning.
It's alright Charlie lad.
We're gonna get you
out of here, okay?
He's all chained up.
[chains clatter]
[chains clatter]
[chains clatter]
I fucking got him.
Ewan!
Ewan!
Where are you?
Where the fuck are you?
[gunshot]
[shotgun cocks]
the first kill is
always the hardest.
It's not my first.
It's all right.
Stay by me.
Stay there Charlie.
[cries]
Charlie.
Charlie.
Charlie!
Taste it Charlie.
Thomas!
They always wanted a boy!
Just not like me.
Let him go.
I only want him to taste it.
Let me.
Let me.
Let me taste it.
Please.
Dad.
[slicing]
Try this.
It worked for me.
You see?
I see.
