The Curse of Humpty Dumpty (2021) Movie Script
1
Hello there, Humpty.
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear Wendy
Happy birthday to you
Mom?
Mom?
Where did everybody go?
What do you mean, mom?
The guests?
They left, ages ago.
Are you okay?
Oh, I'm just, um,
maybe a little bit
too much white wine.
Okay, if you're sure.
I think I'll...
I think I'll just go and
have a little lie down.
And is there anything else
you'd like to tell me, Wendy?
No, no, I don't think so.
Mom.
What?
Oh, you mean when I told
you about your father?
No, no, not that.
The other thing you said.
Oh that, that.
Oh, that was silly.
Nothing's
too silly for this office.
Anyway, you were saying?
Um,
well, ever since my daughter
kindly pointed out that
I was becoming forgetful,
I have been having these dreams,
more like nightmares, um,
except I'm not always sure if
they are actually dreams or,
or memories from the past.
And then, um, a
couple of weeks ago,
I, I, I went out and
I, I got a bit lost,
so I, I had to call my
daughter to come get me.
I found her walking down
the middle of the road
as if it was the pavement.
And thank God there
weren't any cars around.
Well, there wouldn't
be at 3 A: M, would there?
It's not the point.
All right, um, Wendy,
I'd like to ask you some
questions, if that's okay.
Mm-hmm.
When did you notice
these symptoms starting,
the forgetfulness
and the confusion?
Mm, not long ago.
It's been at least six months.
And how are they
affecting your daily life?
Um, not significantly.
Okay.
Any family history
of memory problems?
Uh, no, I don't think so.
My grandmother had dementia,
didn't she, mom?
Did she?
Why don't I remember that?
Right, Wendy,
I think we need to run
some cognitive tests.
Now that's nothing
to worry about,
it's just so we can
see what's happening
with your memory
and concentration.
I think we should
also run some bloods
to make sure there's
nothing physiological
causing your symptoms,
and we could also
consider a scan.
Then I think we
should meet again
to look at the results and
discuss a possible way forward.
How does that sound?
Yes, yes, that's fine.
I would
also seek your permission
to discuss your case with
your daughter, if needs be.
Yes, yes, yes.
It's fine.
Lot's of fuss.
Can you just excuse me, I
really need the bathroom.
Of course.
It's the first door on the left.
Okay, thank you.
What's wrong with her, doctor?
It's early days.
We need to get all
the results back
before we can make
a full diagnosis.
Okay.
Um,
is there anything that can help?
Anything I should be doing?
In the short term
I think we need to
consider her safety.
Living alone makes her
vulnerable to forgetfulness,
to accidents in the home,
there could be more
wandering episodes,
and I'm afraid there are people
who might take advantage of her.
We do have a family
home in the country,
it would be familiar for her.
My sister and I can
keep an eye on her
without making her feel like
she's completely losing
her independence.
That sounds great.
Try not to worry.
Why don't you sleep
in the car, mom,
you've been awake for ages.
I can sleep when we get there.
Oh, I'll take my turn at
the wheel at the services.
That's all right,
I can take over.
Can you just please let me help?
Yeah, Liz, mom's a better
driver than you anyway.
All right.
How about this?
You have a nap now
and I'll wake you when
we get to the first stop.
All right, I suppose I'm
a little tired.
You need to stop
encouraging her,
you know she can't
manage this drive.
Do I?
She's not an invalid,
she just needs a bloody holiday.
You know this isn't
a holiday, right?
She's moving back for good.
Whatever he say.
What now?
She'll last two
weeks there, tops.
You know she prefers
her flat in the city.
Well, she's not safe
in the city anymore.
She's not baby.
But I need you to start
being a little bit more
positive about this.
Positive about you
taking mom back to a place
she hasn't been since dad left,
a place she won't sell
'cause there's too
many memories there?
Okay, Liz, sure.
Maybe a place with memories
is exactly what she needs.
What she needs
is to be able to make
her own decisions,
not be tricked into leaving
a place she's happy.
I'm not tricking her.
Okay, so I guess
you'll be waking her up
right now then, right?
Just shush.
Would you please be a little
be bit more thoughtful?
Buy me a burger and
I'll think about it.
Come on.
Hello?
Hello?
Where am I?
Everything all right, mom?
I didn't know where I was.
We're driving back to
our family home, remember,
where we grew up when
we were little girls.
Yeah.
I just,
I just woke up in the car
and I didn't know where I was.
Hey, listen, we won't
leave you alone again.
I promise, okay?
We just,
we thought you'd still be
asleep when we got back.
Why don't you put on
your seatbelt, yeah?
Come on.
No, I'll get it.
It's all right,
mom. It's okay.
You look exhausted.
I'm alright, honesty.
Yeah, mom, she's fine.
Liz loves being a martyr.
- Hazel!
- What? It's true!
Just ignore her, mom.
Come on, let's get inside.
It looks like there's
a storm coming.
Well, hey there!
Long time, no see.
Bill, hi.
How's it going, old man?
I hope you're going there
with the age thing already.
How you've grown, huh?
Wendy?
Sorry, Bill,
she might have some
trouble remembering you.
Actually that's sort
of why we're here.
Why don't you pop round
in a couple of days
and we'll fill you in.
I'm around twice a
week minding the house,
tending things.
I'll catch you around.
Great, we'll see you soon.
Can you believe I used to
fancy him as a kid?
Oh, God, I don't need
that picture in my head.
Come on.
Mom wants to know if
you want a cup of tea.
What are you doing
letting her muck around
with boiling water?
You should be doing it for her.
Jesus, Liz.
You're being way too
over-protective, she's fine,
she's not a bloody child.
Would you just come inside
and shut the door for a second.
Why?
Just do it.
Okay, what is it?
I need you to start
accepting the reality
of this situation.
What situation?
Mom has dementia, okay?
Now I know you don't
wanna think about that
but you are gonna have to.
She doesn't seem
any different to me.
Yeah, well, she will.
And it will probably
be really gradual
but it might be really sudden.
I just need you to be
ready for that, okay?
I am ready.
Are you?
We'll cross that bridge
when we come to it.
There's no point babying
mom until she needs it.
Okay, let's get
one thing straight.
I am not babying mom,
I could never baby her,
she's a grown woman.
Even when things get worse,
she will still be a grown woman,
but we are here to care for her.
I mean, she can't manage in
this big house all by herself.
Whatever.
The least you could
do is make her a cup of tea.
The least I could do?
Well, I think your family is
a little bit more important.
Easy for someone
without any friends to say.
Look, there's something
else you should know.
It's, it's something
that mom said
when she was having
one of her turns.
If this is another
guilt trip then-
- No, it's nothing like that,
but it is important.
And it's probably gonna
be difficult to hear
so maybe you should sit down.
I'm fine standing.
Okay.
Um...
I don't believe it,
but mom told me that she...
Oh my God.
What happened?
Ah, spilled some
water on my hand.
I missed the cup,
I don't know how I
managed to do that.
Oh mom.
Ah, it's not as bad as it looks.
Sorry, mom.
Well, it's not your fault.
You didn't move my arm, did you?
You sit down,
I'll finish the tea.
I'll do it.
Maybe we should
go to a hospital.
No, no, no, no.
No more hospitals, had
enough of that recently.
No, have looked in the
cupboard over there.
It should be down on the floor.
That's it.
See?
We've got everything we need
right here in the house.
Good memory, mom.
Well, it wasn't
exactly tough, was it,
that's where we always
keep the medicine box.
Kitchens can be one of
the most dangerous places
in the house, you know?
I did not know
that. Very clever.
Why are you being be so weird?
Oh, I can't get anything right.
You're fine, you're
doing all right, Hazel.
Although, uh, one thing.
What?
Where's my tea?
You didn't say you wanted one.
Yeah, well, I do, so...
Oh, for God's sake!
Hmm, tuck it in there.
Thank you, darling.
Oh, it's only a little burn,
it'll probably off tomorrow.
Yeah. Well, it's
better to be safe than sorry.
Yes, so what would you
girls like to do tomorrow?
Hmm?
Well, we're on holiday,
we might as well do something.
Oh, I just thought we
could stay here, you know,
get used to the place again.
Mm, boring!
What would you
like to do, mom?
Um, maybe go into
town, look at the shops.
That'll be okay, won't it, Liz?
Sure.
I'll get it.
Thanks for the tea.
Beryl!
Hello, Elizabeth, mom in?
Oh, she's she's out back.
Could you maybe come
back tomorrow instead?
You've never told
me you were making her
come back to the area.
I found out from some locals.
Sorry, it must've
slipped my mind.
I'll come by tomorrow then.
Yep, see you then.
Midday?
I,
I recognize that voice.
Yeah, it was
dad's sister, Beryl.
Oh, yes, yes.
I remember.
Well, she's going to
pop back tomorrow instead,
want you to settle tonight.
Your father's sister.
We never really liked her,
do you remember that?
Tada!
What do you think?
Yeah, well, it's,
it's certainly interesting.
I think you'd
look great in that, mom.
Interesting?
Well, it's, it's
a bit revealing, isn't it?
I'll put it back.
Why do you have
to spoil her fun?
What, you want her
walking around in that?
I don't really care.
As long as she's happy.
Oh, no. Mom, you
should get the dress.
It will look nice.
Oh, no, it's the sort
of thing I would have worn
when I was your age, not now.
I don't know what I was
thinking.
You were thinking
that it would suit you,
and, and it does.
Oh, well, it's done now,
and I've got money to spend.
Do you remember?
What?
Your father, he-
- Oh, yeah, keep
your voice down, mom.
Rude.
No, your father,
he bought me this
doll years ago,
and now he's here.
Isn't that funny?
I've never seen that
thing before in my life.
Me neither, mum.
Really?
I could have sworn it was
in the house years ago
when you came to visit...
Those memories are a
little bit confusing.
I know, mom,
let's not talk about
it here though.
Why don't we go home.
Okay.
What are you doing?
Well, I'm buying buy
my doll back, of course.
That one's not for sale.
Some items aren't for sale,
that's one of them.
Hang on, this is
a shop, isn't it?
Yes.
Items you put on
display are for customers.
Just leave it, Hazel.
No, mom wants
this, how much is it?
It's priceless.
So it's free?
That's not what priceless means.
If something doesn't
have a price, it's free.
But I tell you what, we'll
give you a tenner for it.
Looks like you
just made a profit.
A hundred pounds.
A thousand pounds.
- Mom!
- Mom,
it's not worth that
Done.
O, okay, well
obviously we don't have
that kind of money on us,
and the banks are probably shut
so I guess we'll
come back tomorrow.
Please look after him for me.
We will be back here.
He belongs to me.
Thanks for nothing.
Looks like you've
got a new home, Humpty.
We're buying it.
We're not going
back there tomorrow, mom.
Oh, yes, we are.
I used to have weird dolls
when I was a little girl.
You're not spending 700
quid on that ugly thing.
It's not ugly.
Sorry, mom,
even though I agree
with Liz this time,
that woman does not
deserve your money.
We will have a
look online when we get back.
I'm sure we will find
the exact same doll
for a fraction of the price.
We'll, just as long as we do,
because if we don't,
we're going back tomorrow,
and that's my final word.
Okay, fine.
What did you go into
that shop for anyway, mom?
You saw something you
liked in the window, right?
Yeah, I saw the Humpty Dumpty.
But that's impossible,
it was right at the
back of the shop.
I saw it.
Okay, mum, we believe you.
It can't be.
What?
Oh my God.
What's wrong with you two?
What the hell?
How did we get here before us?
Especially with your driving.
Isn't there a more
important question, actually?
What?
How'd it get here before us?
Isn't it obvious?
She knew she was returning
it to its rightful owner.
No, I don't know,
there's something
off about this.
She wouldn't stop staring at me.
We should check the
eyes for cameras.
Probably got a live feed so
she can watch us undressing!
Hazel!
Can we not catastrophize
everything, please?
She was doing a nice
thing for our family.
I'm glad you're happy, mom.
Mm, I am.
Yeah, me too.
You all right, mom?
Hmm.
Are you sure?
Hmm.
You know,
when you get a possession
back after so long
and certain things
come back to you.
Your memories are
still there, mom,
they're up here.
You're not broken.
It's like the doctor
said, you know,
there'll be patches
that are good
and other days where you
might just need a bit of help.
I'm glad Humpty is helping
you remember things though.
Hmm, I don't know,
there's something
about that doll,
and I just need to remember
why your father and
I got rid of it.
Well, you probably
just got sick of it
or dad thought it
was ugly as hell.
No.
Um, I got you this.
Doctor said that the best thing
to help with your memories
is to write things down,
so I just thought
that, you know,
as things come back to you,
you can jot them in there,
and that way if
you ever get stuck
you can use it to help yourself.
Thank you.
Well, I best get on.
Mm, okay. I'll
leave you to it.
- Mm-hmm.
- Good night.
Two words.
Film.
First word.
Baby.
Baby's day out!
Oh wait, that's three words.
Children.
Toddler.
- Child, child, child!
- Yes, yes.
Second word.
A ball.
- Throw.
- Fun.
Kick.
Pleasure.
Child's play!
Child play!
Yay!
Oh, no.
No, no, no, no.
Humpty Dumpty had a
great fall, I guess.
Mum?
Oh, come on. Get
yourself together.
Well, Wendy.
Beryl.
You look like
you've seen a ghost.
Wendy?
Yeah, I'm, I'm getting there.
Meaning?
Oh my memories are...
I've been diagnosed
with dementia.
So, uh, sorry, come...
Come in, yeah, come in.
Mum, Hazel and I were
just going to go to...
Oh!
Hi.
When did you get here?
Just a moment ago?
There was nobody home
yesterday as promised.
Mm. Well, we
went to the shops.
It would have been
nice to tell me.
It would have been nice
to have been told a
few things actually.
Or are you suffering from
some condition as your mother?
Well, that's not
really something
I've been throwing around, so...
A, anyway, what were you saying?
Hazel and I were
gonna to pop out,
but it's okay,
we can just do it later.
No, no, no, it's fine.
We need milk.
No, it's-
- She doesn't need you
here to hold her hand.
And I can stick around
until you get back.
Okay.
She worries terribly about me.
Well, the house looks
pretty much exactly the same,
even after all these years.
You'd never know anything.
When I look at old photos,
I think it's surprising
how well it's held up.
Isn't it just.
And it's the attic.
I remember.
You want to go up there?
We've only just cleared
the first floor,
there's spider up there.
I'd love to catch a glimpse
of some old family snaps.
Would you mind?
No, no, no, of course.
Go ahead.
My brother was
a good man, Wendy.
You know that?
Hm.
See this thing
that strikes me,
something that's never
quite sat with me
was how he just walked
out on the three of you.
Yes, he had his
issues, don't we all?
No one's this vision
of perfection,
but he wouldn't leave the girls,
his family.
Our mother died,
he didn't even show
up to the funeral.
He left...
He left me and the girls
from what I recall.
You said he run off
with another woman,
did you not?
We all have a moment
where our eye lingers,
we don't vanish vanish over it.
Am I right?
Look, this is my
brother's house,
he's not here to
claim it for himself,
you own it 50/50,
I advise you sell up
and give his half
over to his side.
How about that?
But me and the girls,
we live here now.
A big old house like this,
you could forget
what room you're in.
In no time your mind
will deteriorate, no?
I wouldn't think it would be
safe for you to stay here.
I'm gonna have a
little look around.
You'll remember that, huh?
Damn it!
Oh, your mother's upstairs.
Well, I best dash.
All right, see
you then, Beryl.
Yes. See you indeed, shortly.
So you know when Beryl was here?
Mm-hmm. We had a cup
of coffee together.
Oh yeah, is that all.
Mm, she's lovely.
Why? What's the matter?
Well, she's not lovely.
She's a bitch.
Hazel.
No, mom, she's right.
When dad left, she tried
to take the house off us.
What?
She's just out
for all she can get.
I worry about her
sticking her nose in,
especially with how
things are right now.
But this is our house.
Yeah, I know that.
We just need to make
sure that she does too.
If that's her again,
I swear to God...
I'll get it.
No, mom.
You finish your drink.
Bill.
Your gardener.
S- Sorry.
That's fine.
Can I come in?
Oh, oh, yeah.
Sure.
Bill, hi!
Hey, love.
Um, Hazel,
do you wanna take these upstairs
and finish them?
Sure.
You two, sit down and catch up.
Take a seat.
To be honest,
I think it's just good
to have a support network
around, you know.-
Hmm.
Although we need to avoid
Beryl like the plague.
Why though?
She can't take the
house away from us.
Well, if she convinces
mom that dad's dead,
then who knows?
Um, sorry, it's just
something she used to say,
it was a long time ago.
She was convinced that dad
had wound up dead somewhere.
Don't worry, she's just
out for all she can steal.
We just need to dodge her,
that's all.
No one has this number.
Hello?
Hello?
Hi, Beryl.
Nice seeing you
and your sister today.
What's up?
Did you forget something?
Not quite.
I was hoping to speak to you
both sometime, in person?
I don't think that's
a good idea right now,
with everything
going on with mom.
Your father isn't
missing, girl, all right?
And I won't stop until
I find out where he is.
Got to go.
Our priority his mom.
You still have that thing?
I thought you got
rid of that thing
a long time ago, after...
Wendy, how much do you remember?
What are you trying to say?
Do you remember any of it?
I have vivid memories
every now and then,
ever since buying that doll.
Memory's like, like
a puzzle piece,
but I'm not sure if they
are memories or nightmares.
What kind of memories?
Something is happening to me
a while ago
in this house.
I'm hur,
I'm hurt.
I'm screaming.
Something is happening,
something terrible,
and
then I see him.
Something about about that doll.
Oh, why can't I remember?
It's like
that doll is holding secrets.
Your husband
bought you that doll.
You used to collect dolls,
but he was a very special doll,
one that everyone adored.
After the incident-
- What incident?
Do you not remember
anything at all?
Please tell me.
You had a miscarriage,
and that doll was what we...
There's a bedroom upstairs
where you used to
keep lots of dolls,
you said it was her room.
A miscarriage.
Why don't I remember?
Her name was
supposed to have been Hazel.
After the incident, you
adopted your youngest.
Is that why he left us?
My ex-husband?
Yes.
Well, I'll leave you to it.
I can check by tomorrow.
Please do.
Sometimes I think my girls
don't want me to
remember the past.
I need to know who I was
because sometimes I don't
even know who I am anymore.
Bill!
How did I take it,
when I had the miscarriage?
However you might feel now,
the first born had to be given,
and you were at peace with that.
The loss of one life was
the beginning of another.
It's just a shame
that we didn't know
what were dealing with
until it was too late.
Yeah, b-b-
Police, police, please.
Mum, what is going on?
Don't, don't go up there!
J, just, just go downstairs
and wait outside
until the police come.
Go!
Hello.
Where is she?
Where is this woman that
you claimed to see up here?
Um, she was there.
Officer Daley,
she, she was there.
I don't see any
signs of an attack
and your daughters didn't
see anything either.
He, he must've cleaned
it up before we got here.
Mom, you must've just
been having a nightmare.
You're all right.
I understand that
you have a condition
but we don't take lightly
to wasting police time.
So if you can monitor
her calls to the police
in the future, thanks.
Have a good evening.
I'm sorry.
Officer Daley thinks she's mad.
I feel like we're
losing our mom.
I knew it was going to be hard,
but I didn't think she
would become someone else.
That's not our mom, Liz.
We can't lose our mom.
Hey, why don't you go up to bed?
Tomorrow is a new day, yeah?
Yeah?
I'll talk to her.
Wat are you doing?
I need to remember,
I can't forget it.
Mommy, mommy, there's
nothing to remember, okay?
You were just
having a bad dream.
It was not a dream!
I saw it!
I know what a dream is and
I know what reality is,
I'm not crazy!
All right. Okay, calm down.
Don't tell me to calm down!
You are not the one experiencing
this nightmare, I am.
I know what I saw.
I saw it!
Okay. Who was the
woman upstairs, mum?
Tell me.
I will not be patronized.
I'll see you in the morning.
Up early?
Yeah,
I'm just gonna head into town.
What for?
Oh, just some bits.
Come on, it's me.
Don't treat me like a stranger.
Mm.
I looked up Humpty
Dumpty last night,
- the doll.
- Mm-hmm.
And I just wanted to show mom
that there was nothing
to worry about,
find some kind of proof that...
God, I don't know.
Anyway, I found this.
What is all of this?
Well, it was said
that Humpty Dumpty
was based on something real,
some kind of demonic spirit
living inside a doll.
As soon as Humpty
had a great fall,
bad things would
start to happen,
the spirit would show itself.
It's a nursery rhyme, Liz,
there's no truth in any of this.
You look at those sketches
and you look at that doll,
and tell me they are not
the same thing, Hazel.
You think that doll
has something to do
with satanic worship?
I mean, they were
offering up a vessel
to a demonic entity.
Christ, they were sacrificing
their own children,
offering it up to whatever
lived inside that doll.
The thing is, it was
messing with their heads.
As soon as they woke it, it
would play with their minds,
make turn on each other,
act out in various ways,
it's twisting their memories.
Why would they do this?
They wanted to be immortal.
It was tricking them,
they thought they'd
get immortality
and in the end, all
they got was death.
Don't show mom any
of this, all right?
It will only freak her out.
Oh, of course not.
Look, I'll be back
in a bit, okay?
Wendy.
Bill.
Bill, my gardener from before.
Keeping track of
everything, I see.
I need to.
Not everything can be
written down, you know.
The police who called
last night, I heard.
I made a promise to
you many years ago.
I know you didn't
remember those words
but I'll never turn
my back on you.
Please tell me what you know.
Deep down I think you
know already, don't you?
No, I don't.
Maybe you don't want
to remember who you were.
Mom?
Mom?
Mom, it's Hazel.
You are not my daughter.
What do you mean?
You were never my child.
Mom, stop.
Who were you really?
Mom, it's me,
Hazel!
Liar!
I wrote it down.
Who are you?
Mom, what ever you have
you written in your journal,
it isn't true, all right?
Why would I write it
down if it wasn't true?
You want proof?
Fine.
I'll find my birth certificate.
Hello.
Excuse me?
Oi!
Hello, Liz.
How do you know my name?
I remember.
Now,
I had a question for you.
What?
How's Humpty?
Has he been behaving himself?
Probably not.
Good.
You know,
he can bring out
the worst in people.
What the hell did you sell us?
His previous owners, well...
What the hell did you give us?
I think you already know.
You're crazy!
Aren't we all?
Do you remember now?
Mum?
You should never have
brought it back here.
Liz, you gotta get home.
I don't know what
the hell is going on.
I found Beryl's
phone in the attic,
its covered in blood,
and mom is acting crazed.
Please get home now.
All right, I'm on my way.
Get rid of the doll,
get rid of the doll,
get rid of the doll!
What are you?
Mum?
Mum?
Mum?
Whatever's going on,
it's all up here, in
your mind, all right?
I think I remember now.
I know now it.
I'm sorry I behaved like that.
I just get a little
angry sometimes.
Wendy?
Wendy,
whose blood is that?
I don't know.
We need to get you
downstairs, okay?
You helped me, didn't you?
Show me where he is.
I need to know.
Wendy, we need to get
you downstairs, okay,
we need to wait for help.
This has gone too far already.
I know, I need it...
I needed to stop!
I needed to stop!
Did you hear that?
What is it?
I'm coming!
Please.
Please, no, let me go.
Please, no.
Please, please,
please, let me go.
Please, no.
No, please.
Please, please, please, please.
Please, no, please
don't hurt the girls.
Just don't hurt the girls.
You think you could
just walk out on me
- just like that, huh?
- No, I don't.
Just don't hurt the girls.
It was the doll.
Get off me!
- Come with me.
- No, no, no.
- Come with me.
- No, no, no.
- Yes, yes.
- No, no, no.
Come!
It was an accident.
Wendy, what have you done?
It's okay, it's okay.
It's okay, it's okay.
Tell me what happened.
Mom!
Your father...
What I did...
Mom, okay, you
didn't do anything.
Dad left us, that is all.
It was me.
Mom, mom?
I killed him.
He didn't leave us.
He hurt,
he hurt me and I hurt him.
No, I don't believe that.
Carrying this burden is
what is affecting my mind.
I need to purge it,
purge myself so that
I can be me again.
That is not wat
is happening, okay?
You have dementia.
Stop!
Stop lying to me!
Mom, what are you doing outside?
I think I committed
a terrible crime.
I think I know what
happened to your father.
I know, okay?
You know?
You already told me everything.
Yeah,
you still don't believe me.
You'll see, I'll show you.
What are you doing?
You think I'm crazy,
but I'm not crazy.
I don't think
you're crazy, okay,
but we need to out of here,
you know why, don't you?
No, I don't know why.
Because that thing you
bought is cursed, mom.
The, the...
The Humpty Dumpty doll, it's
not what we think, okay?
I think,
I think it's done
something to you,
it's done something
to your memories.
It wasn't Humpty,
it was, it was me.
No, mom, listen to me, okay?
That thing was worshiped
by a Satanic cult,
they were, they were
sacrificing their own children,
for God's sake, okay?
They were trying to bring back
some kind of demon
through a doll.
You think I'd
believe that ridiculous story?
Please, I promise you it's true.
No, no, I was crazed
after what happened
to our daughter,
and then I had Hazel,
and I had Hazel
because of what happened.
Oh my God,
I thought we buried deeper.
Who's we?
Me and Bill.
Oh, fuck!
Your father,
I buried him here.
We can go now.
No, no, I wanna see.
No, no, no, no.
Listen, he's been
here for 22 years.
What have you done?
No, no, no, that's impossible.
Liz! Wait!
Wait!
Wait!
You stay away from me,
please.
Lizzie, please,
I would never hurt hazel.
You stay away.
Like you said,
he was possessed.
No, you knew exactly
where she was buried.
How could you show me that?
My sister.
Your daughter!
Oh, I was con,
I was confused.
She knew, didn't she?
She figured out
that she was adopted
and she started asking
questions about Beryl,
so you just,
you silenced her.
My memories, they
don't make sense anymore.
Where's aunt, Beryl?
I know something
happened to her.
Hazel told me that she found
her phone in the attic.
No!
No!
No!
She knew, didn't she,
what you did to dad?
Or she got to finding the truth.
What?
You just killed Bill because
he was gonna confess,
or was he,
or was he in on it all along?
Just the two of you
working together,
bringing that thing
back through Humpty.
I can't take the guilty anymore.
For years, I held
inside what we did,
but I can't anymore.
The things we did,
each of us had a part to play.
I don't know who I am anymore.
I should have
listened to the doctor.
I should have put you in a home.
Please, I swear,
it was Humpty,
he gets inside your head.
It was Humpty!
I have to talk to the police.
No, don't.
Police, please.
You stay away from me.
I mean it, stay back.
He's behind you.
Humpty Dumpty
Sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty
Had a big fall
Officer Daley and
all of her men
Aww.
Couldn't put Lizzie
Together again
Aww.
Aww.
Aww.
Hello there, Humpty.
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear Wendy
Happy birthday to you
Mom?
Mom?
Where did everybody go?
What do you mean, mom?
The guests?
They left, ages ago.
Are you okay?
Oh, I'm just, um,
maybe a little bit
too much white wine.
Okay, if you're sure.
I think I'll...
I think I'll just go and
have a little lie down.
And is there anything else
you'd like to tell me, Wendy?
No, no, I don't think so.
Mom.
What?
Oh, you mean when I told
you about your father?
No, no, not that.
The other thing you said.
Oh that, that.
Oh, that was silly.
Nothing's
too silly for this office.
Anyway, you were saying?
Um,
well, ever since my daughter
kindly pointed out that
I was becoming forgetful,
I have been having these dreams,
more like nightmares, um,
except I'm not always sure if
they are actually dreams or,
or memories from the past.
And then, um, a
couple of weeks ago,
I, I, I went out and
I, I got a bit lost,
so I, I had to call my
daughter to come get me.
I found her walking down
the middle of the road
as if it was the pavement.
And thank God there
weren't any cars around.
Well, there wouldn't
be at 3 A: M, would there?
It's not the point.
All right, um, Wendy,
I'd like to ask you some
questions, if that's okay.
Mm-hmm.
When did you notice
these symptoms starting,
the forgetfulness
and the confusion?
Mm, not long ago.
It's been at least six months.
And how are they
affecting your daily life?
Um, not significantly.
Okay.
Any family history
of memory problems?
Uh, no, I don't think so.
My grandmother had dementia,
didn't she, mom?
Did she?
Why don't I remember that?
Right, Wendy,
I think we need to run
some cognitive tests.
Now that's nothing
to worry about,
it's just so we can
see what's happening
with your memory
and concentration.
I think we should
also run some bloods
to make sure there's
nothing physiological
causing your symptoms,
and we could also
consider a scan.
Then I think we
should meet again
to look at the results and
discuss a possible way forward.
How does that sound?
Yes, yes, that's fine.
I would
also seek your permission
to discuss your case with
your daughter, if needs be.
Yes, yes, yes.
It's fine.
Lot's of fuss.
Can you just excuse me, I
really need the bathroom.
Of course.
It's the first door on the left.
Okay, thank you.
What's wrong with her, doctor?
It's early days.
We need to get all
the results back
before we can make
a full diagnosis.
Okay.
Um,
is there anything that can help?
Anything I should be doing?
In the short term
I think we need to
consider her safety.
Living alone makes her
vulnerable to forgetfulness,
to accidents in the home,
there could be more
wandering episodes,
and I'm afraid there are people
who might take advantage of her.
We do have a family
home in the country,
it would be familiar for her.
My sister and I can
keep an eye on her
without making her feel like
she's completely losing
her independence.
That sounds great.
Try not to worry.
Why don't you sleep
in the car, mom,
you've been awake for ages.
I can sleep when we get there.
Oh, I'll take my turn at
the wheel at the services.
That's all right,
I can take over.
Can you just please let me help?
Yeah, Liz, mom's a better
driver than you anyway.
All right.
How about this?
You have a nap now
and I'll wake you when
we get to the first stop.
All right, I suppose I'm
a little tired.
You need to stop
encouraging her,
you know she can't
manage this drive.
Do I?
She's not an invalid,
she just needs a bloody holiday.
You know this isn't
a holiday, right?
She's moving back for good.
Whatever he say.
What now?
She'll last two
weeks there, tops.
You know she prefers
her flat in the city.
Well, she's not safe
in the city anymore.
She's not baby.
But I need you to start
being a little bit more
positive about this.
Positive about you
taking mom back to a place
she hasn't been since dad left,
a place she won't sell
'cause there's too
many memories there?
Okay, Liz, sure.
Maybe a place with memories
is exactly what she needs.
What she needs
is to be able to make
her own decisions,
not be tricked into leaving
a place she's happy.
I'm not tricking her.
Okay, so I guess
you'll be waking her up
right now then, right?
Just shush.
Would you please be a little
be bit more thoughtful?
Buy me a burger and
I'll think about it.
Come on.
Hello?
Hello?
Where am I?
Everything all right, mom?
I didn't know where I was.
We're driving back to
our family home, remember,
where we grew up when
we were little girls.
Yeah.
I just,
I just woke up in the car
and I didn't know where I was.
Hey, listen, we won't
leave you alone again.
I promise, okay?
We just,
we thought you'd still be
asleep when we got back.
Why don't you put on
your seatbelt, yeah?
Come on.
No, I'll get it.
It's all right,
mom. It's okay.
You look exhausted.
I'm alright, honesty.
Yeah, mom, she's fine.
Liz loves being a martyr.
- Hazel!
- What? It's true!
Just ignore her, mom.
Come on, let's get inside.
It looks like there's
a storm coming.
Well, hey there!
Long time, no see.
Bill, hi.
How's it going, old man?
I hope you're going there
with the age thing already.
How you've grown, huh?
Wendy?
Sorry, Bill,
she might have some
trouble remembering you.
Actually that's sort
of why we're here.
Why don't you pop round
in a couple of days
and we'll fill you in.
I'm around twice a
week minding the house,
tending things.
I'll catch you around.
Great, we'll see you soon.
Can you believe I used to
fancy him as a kid?
Oh, God, I don't need
that picture in my head.
Come on.
Mom wants to know if
you want a cup of tea.
What are you doing
letting her muck around
with boiling water?
You should be doing it for her.
Jesus, Liz.
You're being way too
over-protective, she's fine,
she's not a bloody child.
Would you just come inside
and shut the door for a second.
Why?
Just do it.
Okay, what is it?
I need you to start
accepting the reality
of this situation.
What situation?
Mom has dementia, okay?
Now I know you don't
wanna think about that
but you are gonna have to.
She doesn't seem
any different to me.
Yeah, well, she will.
And it will probably
be really gradual
but it might be really sudden.
I just need you to be
ready for that, okay?
I am ready.
Are you?
We'll cross that bridge
when we come to it.
There's no point babying
mom until she needs it.
Okay, let's get
one thing straight.
I am not babying mom,
I could never baby her,
she's a grown woman.
Even when things get worse,
she will still be a grown woman,
but we are here to care for her.
I mean, she can't manage in
this big house all by herself.
Whatever.
The least you could
do is make her a cup of tea.
The least I could do?
Well, I think your family is
a little bit more important.
Easy for someone
without any friends to say.
Look, there's something
else you should know.
It's, it's something
that mom said
when she was having
one of her turns.
If this is another
guilt trip then-
- No, it's nothing like that,
but it is important.
And it's probably gonna
be difficult to hear
so maybe you should sit down.
I'm fine standing.
Okay.
Um...
I don't believe it,
but mom told me that she...
Oh my God.
What happened?
Ah, spilled some
water on my hand.
I missed the cup,
I don't know how I
managed to do that.
Oh mom.
Ah, it's not as bad as it looks.
Sorry, mom.
Well, it's not your fault.
You didn't move my arm, did you?
You sit down,
I'll finish the tea.
I'll do it.
Maybe we should
go to a hospital.
No, no, no, no.
No more hospitals, had
enough of that recently.
No, have looked in the
cupboard over there.
It should be down on the floor.
That's it.
See?
We've got everything we need
right here in the house.
Good memory, mom.
Well, it wasn't
exactly tough, was it,
that's where we always
keep the medicine box.
Kitchens can be one of
the most dangerous places
in the house, you know?
I did not know
that. Very clever.
Why are you being be so weird?
Oh, I can't get anything right.
You're fine, you're
doing all right, Hazel.
Although, uh, one thing.
What?
Where's my tea?
You didn't say you wanted one.
Yeah, well, I do, so...
Oh, for God's sake!
Hmm, tuck it in there.
Thank you, darling.
Oh, it's only a little burn,
it'll probably off tomorrow.
Yeah. Well, it's
better to be safe than sorry.
Yes, so what would you
girls like to do tomorrow?
Hmm?
Well, we're on holiday,
we might as well do something.
Oh, I just thought we
could stay here, you know,
get used to the place again.
Mm, boring!
What would you
like to do, mom?
Um, maybe go into
town, look at the shops.
That'll be okay, won't it, Liz?
Sure.
I'll get it.
Thanks for the tea.
Beryl!
Hello, Elizabeth, mom in?
Oh, she's she's out back.
Could you maybe come
back tomorrow instead?
You've never told
me you were making her
come back to the area.
I found out from some locals.
Sorry, it must've
slipped my mind.
I'll come by tomorrow then.
Yep, see you then.
Midday?
I,
I recognize that voice.
Yeah, it was
dad's sister, Beryl.
Oh, yes, yes.
I remember.
Well, she's going to
pop back tomorrow instead,
want you to settle tonight.
Your father's sister.
We never really liked her,
do you remember that?
Tada!
What do you think?
Yeah, well, it's,
it's certainly interesting.
I think you'd
look great in that, mom.
Interesting?
Well, it's, it's
a bit revealing, isn't it?
I'll put it back.
Why do you have
to spoil her fun?
What, you want her
walking around in that?
I don't really care.
As long as she's happy.
Oh, no. Mom, you
should get the dress.
It will look nice.
Oh, no, it's the sort
of thing I would have worn
when I was your age, not now.
I don't know what I was
thinking.
You were thinking
that it would suit you,
and, and it does.
Oh, well, it's done now,
and I've got money to spend.
Do you remember?
What?
Your father, he-
- Oh, yeah, keep
your voice down, mom.
Rude.
No, your father,
he bought me this
doll years ago,
and now he's here.
Isn't that funny?
I've never seen that
thing before in my life.
Me neither, mum.
Really?
I could have sworn it was
in the house years ago
when you came to visit...
Those memories are a
little bit confusing.
I know, mom,
let's not talk about
it here though.
Why don't we go home.
Okay.
What are you doing?
Well, I'm buying buy
my doll back, of course.
That one's not for sale.
Some items aren't for sale,
that's one of them.
Hang on, this is
a shop, isn't it?
Yes.
Items you put on
display are for customers.
Just leave it, Hazel.
No, mom wants
this, how much is it?
It's priceless.
So it's free?
That's not what priceless means.
If something doesn't
have a price, it's free.
But I tell you what, we'll
give you a tenner for it.
Looks like you
just made a profit.
A hundred pounds.
A thousand pounds.
- Mom!
- Mom,
it's not worth that
Done.
O, okay, well
obviously we don't have
that kind of money on us,
and the banks are probably shut
so I guess we'll
come back tomorrow.
Please look after him for me.
We will be back here.
He belongs to me.
Thanks for nothing.
Looks like you've
got a new home, Humpty.
We're buying it.
We're not going
back there tomorrow, mom.
Oh, yes, we are.
I used to have weird dolls
when I was a little girl.
You're not spending 700
quid on that ugly thing.
It's not ugly.
Sorry, mom,
even though I agree
with Liz this time,
that woman does not
deserve your money.
We will have a
look online when we get back.
I'm sure we will find
the exact same doll
for a fraction of the price.
We'll, just as long as we do,
because if we don't,
we're going back tomorrow,
and that's my final word.
Okay, fine.
What did you go into
that shop for anyway, mom?
You saw something you
liked in the window, right?
Yeah, I saw the Humpty Dumpty.
But that's impossible,
it was right at the
back of the shop.
I saw it.
Okay, mum, we believe you.
It can't be.
What?
Oh my God.
What's wrong with you two?
What the hell?
How did we get here before us?
Especially with your driving.
Isn't there a more
important question, actually?
What?
How'd it get here before us?
Isn't it obvious?
She knew she was returning
it to its rightful owner.
No, I don't know,
there's something
off about this.
She wouldn't stop staring at me.
We should check the
eyes for cameras.
Probably got a live feed so
she can watch us undressing!
Hazel!
Can we not catastrophize
everything, please?
She was doing a nice
thing for our family.
I'm glad you're happy, mom.
Mm, I am.
Yeah, me too.
You all right, mom?
Hmm.
Are you sure?
Hmm.
You know,
when you get a possession
back after so long
and certain things
come back to you.
Your memories are
still there, mom,
they're up here.
You're not broken.
It's like the doctor
said, you know,
there'll be patches
that are good
and other days where you
might just need a bit of help.
I'm glad Humpty is helping
you remember things though.
Hmm, I don't know,
there's something
about that doll,
and I just need to remember
why your father and
I got rid of it.
Well, you probably
just got sick of it
or dad thought it
was ugly as hell.
No.
Um, I got you this.
Doctor said that the best thing
to help with your memories
is to write things down,
so I just thought
that, you know,
as things come back to you,
you can jot them in there,
and that way if
you ever get stuck
you can use it to help yourself.
Thank you.
Well, I best get on.
Mm, okay. I'll
leave you to it.
- Mm-hmm.
- Good night.
Two words.
Film.
First word.
Baby.
Baby's day out!
Oh wait, that's three words.
Children.
Toddler.
- Child, child, child!
- Yes, yes.
Second word.
A ball.
- Throw.
- Fun.
Kick.
Pleasure.
Child's play!
Child play!
Yay!
Oh, no.
No, no, no, no.
Humpty Dumpty had a
great fall, I guess.
Mum?
Oh, come on. Get
yourself together.
Well, Wendy.
Beryl.
You look like
you've seen a ghost.
Wendy?
Yeah, I'm, I'm getting there.
Meaning?
Oh my memories are...
I've been diagnosed
with dementia.
So, uh, sorry, come...
Come in, yeah, come in.
Mum, Hazel and I were
just going to go to...
Oh!
Hi.
When did you get here?
Just a moment ago?
There was nobody home
yesterday as promised.
Mm. Well, we
went to the shops.
It would have been
nice to tell me.
It would have been nice
to have been told a
few things actually.
Or are you suffering from
some condition as your mother?
Well, that's not
really something
I've been throwing around, so...
A, anyway, what were you saying?
Hazel and I were
gonna to pop out,
but it's okay,
we can just do it later.
No, no, no, it's fine.
We need milk.
No, it's-
- She doesn't need you
here to hold her hand.
And I can stick around
until you get back.
Okay.
She worries terribly about me.
Well, the house looks
pretty much exactly the same,
even after all these years.
You'd never know anything.
When I look at old photos,
I think it's surprising
how well it's held up.
Isn't it just.
And it's the attic.
I remember.
You want to go up there?
We've only just cleared
the first floor,
there's spider up there.
I'd love to catch a glimpse
of some old family snaps.
Would you mind?
No, no, no, of course.
Go ahead.
My brother was
a good man, Wendy.
You know that?
Hm.
See this thing
that strikes me,
something that's never
quite sat with me
was how he just walked
out on the three of you.
Yes, he had his
issues, don't we all?
No one's this vision
of perfection,
but he wouldn't leave the girls,
his family.
Our mother died,
he didn't even show
up to the funeral.
He left...
He left me and the girls
from what I recall.
You said he run off
with another woman,
did you not?
We all have a moment
where our eye lingers,
we don't vanish vanish over it.
Am I right?
Look, this is my
brother's house,
he's not here to
claim it for himself,
you own it 50/50,
I advise you sell up
and give his half
over to his side.
How about that?
But me and the girls,
we live here now.
A big old house like this,
you could forget
what room you're in.
In no time your mind
will deteriorate, no?
I wouldn't think it would be
safe for you to stay here.
I'm gonna have a
little look around.
You'll remember that, huh?
Damn it!
Oh, your mother's upstairs.
Well, I best dash.
All right, see
you then, Beryl.
Yes. See you indeed, shortly.
So you know when Beryl was here?
Mm-hmm. We had a cup
of coffee together.
Oh yeah, is that all.
Mm, she's lovely.
Why? What's the matter?
Well, she's not lovely.
She's a bitch.
Hazel.
No, mom, she's right.
When dad left, she tried
to take the house off us.
What?
She's just out
for all she can get.
I worry about her
sticking her nose in,
especially with how
things are right now.
But this is our house.
Yeah, I know that.
We just need to make
sure that she does too.
If that's her again,
I swear to God...
I'll get it.
No, mom.
You finish your drink.
Bill.
Your gardener.
S- Sorry.
That's fine.
Can I come in?
Oh, oh, yeah.
Sure.
Bill, hi!
Hey, love.
Um, Hazel,
do you wanna take these upstairs
and finish them?
Sure.
You two, sit down and catch up.
Take a seat.
To be honest,
I think it's just good
to have a support network
around, you know.-
Hmm.
Although we need to avoid
Beryl like the plague.
Why though?
She can't take the
house away from us.
Well, if she convinces
mom that dad's dead,
then who knows?
Um, sorry, it's just
something she used to say,
it was a long time ago.
She was convinced that dad
had wound up dead somewhere.
Don't worry, she's just
out for all she can steal.
We just need to dodge her,
that's all.
No one has this number.
Hello?
Hello?
Hi, Beryl.
Nice seeing you
and your sister today.
What's up?
Did you forget something?
Not quite.
I was hoping to speak to you
both sometime, in person?
I don't think that's
a good idea right now,
with everything
going on with mom.
Your father isn't
missing, girl, all right?
And I won't stop until
I find out where he is.
Got to go.
Our priority his mom.
You still have that thing?
I thought you got
rid of that thing
a long time ago, after...
Wendy, how much do you remember?
What are you trying to say?
Do you remember any of it?
I have vivid memories
every now and then,
ever since buying that doll.
Memory's like, like
a puzzle piece,
but I'm not sure if they
are memories or nightmares.
What kind of memories?
Something is happening to me
a while ago
in this house.
I'm hur,
I'm hurt.
I'm screaming.
Something is happening,
something terrible,
and
then I see him.
Something about about that doll.
Oh, why can't I remember?
It's like
that doll is holding secrets.
Your husband
bought you that doll.
You used to collect dolls,
but he was a very special doll,
one that everyone adored.
After the incident-
- What incident?
Do you not remember
anything at all?
Please tell me.
You had a miscarriage,
and that doll was what we...
There's a bedroom upstairs
where you used to
keep lots of dolls,
you said it was her room.
A miscarriage.
Why don't I remember?
Her name was
supposed to have been Hazel.
After the incident, you
adopted your youngest.
Is that why he left us?
My ex-husband?
Yes.
Well, I'll leave you to it.
I can check by tomorrow.
Please do.
Sometimes I think my girls
don't want me to
remember the past.
I need to know who I was
because sometimes I don't
even know who I am anymore.
Bill!
How did I take it,
when I had the miscarriage?
However you might feel now,
the first born had to be given,
and you were at peace with that.
The loss of one life was
the beginning of another.
It's just a shame
that we didn't know
what were dealing with
until it was too late.
Yeah, b-b-
Police, police, please.
Mum, what is going on?
Don't, don't go up there!
J, just, just go downstairs
and wait outside
until the police come.
Go!
Hello.
Where is she?
Where is this woman that
you claimed to see up here?
Um, she was there.
Officer Daley,
she, she was there.
I don't see any
signs of an attack
and your daughters didn't
see anything either.
He, he must've cleaned
it up before we got here.
Mom, you must've just
been having a nightmare.
You're all right.
I understand that
you have a condition
but we don't take lightly
to wasting police time.
So if you can monitor
her calls to the police
in the future, thanks.
Have a good evening.
I'm sorry.
Officer Daley thinks she's mad.
I feel like we're
losing our mom.
I knew it was going to be hard,
but I didn't think she
would become someone else.
That's not our mom, Liz.
We can't lose our mom.
Hey, why don't you go up to bed?
Tomorrow is a new day, yeah?
Yeah?
I'll talk to her.
Wat are you doing?
I need to remember,
I can't forget it.
Mommy, mommy, there's
nothing to remember, okay?
You were just
having a bad dream.
It was not a dream!
I saw it!
I know what a dream is and
I know what reality is,
I'm not crazy!
All right. Okay, calm down.
Don't tell me to calm down!
You are not the one experiencing
this nightmare, I am.
I know what I saw.
I saw it!
Okay. Who was the
woman upstairs, mum?
Tell me.
I will not be patronized.
I'll see you in the morning.
Up early?
Yeah,
I'm just gonna head into town.
What for?
Oh, just some bits.
Come on, it's me.
Don't treat me like a stranger.
Mm.
I looked up Humpty
Dumpty last night,
- the doll.
- Mm-hmm.
And I just wanted to show mom
that there was nothing
to worry about,
find some kind of proof that...
God, I don't know.
Anyway, I found this.
What is all of this?
Well, it was said
that Humpty Dumpty
was based on something real,
some kind of demonic spirit
living inside a doll.
As soon as Humpty
had a great fall,
bad things would
start to happen,
the spirit would show itself.
It's a nursery rhyme, Liz,
there's no truth in any of this.
You look at those sketches
and you look at that doll,
and tell me they are not
the same thing, Hazel.
You think that doll
has something to do
with satanic worship?
I mean, they were
offering up a vessel
to a demonic entity.
Christ, they were sacrificing
their own children,
offering it up to whatever
lived inside that doll.
The thing is, it was
messing with their heads.
As soon as they woke it, it
would play with their minds,
make turn on each other,
act out in various ways,
it's twisting their memories.
Why would they do this?
They wanted to be immortal.
It was tricking them,
they thought they'd
get immortality
and in the end, all
they got was death.
Don't show mom any
of this, all right?
It will only freak her out.
Oh, of course not.
Look, I'll be back
in a bit, okay?
Wendy.
Bill.
Bill, my gardener from before.
Keeping track of
everything, I see.
I need to.
Not everything can be
written down, you know.
The police who called
last night, I heard.
I made a promise to
you many years ago.
I know you didn't
remember those words
but I'll never turn
my back on you.
Please tell me what you know.
Deep down I think you
know already, don't you?
No, I don't.
Maybe you don't want
to remember who you were.
Mom?
Mom?
Mom, it's Hazel.
You are not my daughter.
What do you mean?
You were never my child.
Mom, stop.
Who were you really?
Mom, it's me,
Hazel!
Liar!
I wrote it down.
Who are you?
Mom, what ever you have
you written in your journal,
it isn't true, all right?
Why would I write it
down if it wasn't true?
You want proof?
Fine.
I'll find my birth certificate.
Hello.
Excuse me?
Oi!
Hello, Liz.
How do you know my name?
I remember.
Now,
I had a question for you.
What?
How's Humpty?
Has he been behaving himself?
Probably not.
Good.
You know,
he can bring out
the worst in people.
What the hell did you sell us?
His previous owners, well...
What the hell did you give us?
I think you already know.
You're crazy!
Aren't we all?
Do you remember now?
Mum?
You should never have
brought it back here.
Liz, you gotta get home.
I don't know what
the hell is going on.
I found Beryl's
phone in the attic,
its covered in blood,
and mom is acting crazed.
Please get home now.
All right, I'm on my way.
Get rid of the doll,
get rid of the doll,
get rid of the doll!
What are you?
Mum?
Mum?
Mum?
Whatever's going on,
it's all up here, in
your mind, all right?
I think I remember now.
I know now it.
I'm sorry I behaved like that.
I just get a little
angry sometimes.
Wendy?
Wendy,
whose blood is that?
I don't know.
We need to get you
downstairs, okay?
You helped me, didn't you?
Show me where he is.
I need to know.
Wendy, we need to get
you downstairs, okay,
we need to wait for help.
This has gone too far already.
I know, I need it...
I needed to stop!
I needed to stop!
Did you hear that?
What is it?
I'm coming!
Please.
Please, no, let me go.
Please, no.
Please, please,
please, let me go.
Please, no.
No, please.
Please, please, please, please.
Please, no, please
don't hurt the girls.
Just don't hurt the girls.
You think you could
just walk out on me
- just like that, huh?
- No, I don't.
Just don't hurt the girls.
It was the doll.
Get off me!
- Come with me.
- No, no, no.
- Come with me.
- No, no, no.
- Yes, yes.
- No, no, no.
Come!
It was an accident.
Wendy, what have you done?
It's okay, it's okay.
It's okay, it's okay.
Tell me what happened.
Mom!
Your father...
What I did...
Mom, okay, you
didn't do anything.
Dad left us, that is all.
It was me.
Mom, mom?
I killed him.
He didn't leave us.
He hurt,
he hurt me and I hurt him.
No, I don't believe that.
Carrying this burden is
what is affecting my mind.
I need to purge it,
purge myself so that
I can be me again.
That is not wat
is happening, okay?
You have dementia.
Stop!
Stop lying to me!
Mom, what are you doing outside?
I think I committed
a terrible crime.
I think I know what
happened to your father.
I know, okay?
You know?
You already told me everything.
Yeah,
you still don't believe me.
You'll see, I'll show you.
What are you doing?
You think I'm crazy,
but I'm not crazy.
I don't think
you're crazy, okay,
but we need to out of here,
you know why, don't you?
No, I don't know why.
Because that thing you
bought is cursed, mom.
The, the...
The Humpty Dumpty doll, it's
not what we think, okay?
I think,
I think it's done
something to you,
it's done something
to your memories.
It wasn't Humpty,
it was, it was me.
No, mom, listen to me, okay?
That thing was worshiped
by a Satanic cult,
they were, they were
sacrificing their own children,
for God's sake, okay?
They were trying to bring back
some kind of demon
through a doll.
You think I'd
believe that ridiculous story?
Please, I promise you it's true.
No, no, I was crazed
after what happened
to our daughter,
and then I had Hazel,
and I had Hazel
because of what happened.
Oh my God,
I thought we buried deeper.
Who's we?
Me and Bill.
Oh, fuck!
Your father,
I buried him here.
We can go now.
No, no, I wanna see.
No, no, no, no.
Listen, he's been
here for 22 years.
What have you done?
No, no, no, that's impossible.
Liz! Wait!
Wait!
Wait!
You stay away from me,
please.
Lizzie, please,
I would never hurt hazel.
You stay away.
Like you said,
he was possessed.
No, you knew exactly
where she was buried.
How could you show me that?
My sister.
Your daughter!
Oh, I was con,
I was confused.
She knew, didn't she?
She figured out
that she was adopted
and she started asking
questions about Beryl,
so you just,
you silenced her.
My memories, they
don't make sense anymore.
Where's aunt, Beryl?
I know something
happened to her.
Hazel told me that she found
her phone in the attic.
No!
No!
No!
She knew, didn't she,
what you did to dad?
Or she got to finding the truth.
What?
You just killed Bill because
he was gonna confess,
or was he,
or was he in on it all along?
Just the two of you
working together,
bringing that thing
back through Humpty.
I can't take the guilty anymore.
For years, I held
inside what we did,
but I can't anymore.
The things we did,
each of us had a part to play.
I don't know who I am anymore.
I should have
listened to the doctor.
I should have put you in a home.
Please, I swear,
it was Humpty,
he gets inside your head.
It was Humpty!
I have to talk to the police.
No, don't.
Police, please.
You stay away from me.
I mean it, stay back.
He's behind you.
Humpty Dumpty
Sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty
Had a big fall
Officer Daley and
all of her men
Aww.
Couldn't put Lizzie
Together again
Aww.
Aww.
Aww.
