["We'll Always Have Neptune"
by Spangled playing]
Feel the kiss of love
-I ate them all.
-Do you have any?
-No.
-Do you want some more?
What kind?
-What's your favorite?
-Opal Fruits.
No, the sherbet one,
with the lolly.
-Dip Dab?
-Is that the one with the lolly?
Because I don't like
the one with the licorice.
Yeah, it's the one
with the lolly.
I'm going to get us
some sweets, okay?
But we don't have any money,
do we?
We don't need any,
if you help me.
All you need to do
is go into the shop
and tell the man
that you've lost your dad.
-Why?
-Just to distract him from it.
-Okay?
-Why?
Because I can't,
-he doesn't like me.
-Why?
Are you going to say that all
day, or do you want some sweets?
Come here, look.
Do you remember
when you got lost in Safeway?
You went up to that lady
and you asked her
if she could
help you find your dad.
-Yeah?
-Just do that, okay?
But my dad's away
on a work trip this week.
I know, it doesn't matter.
But what if he calls my dad
like the lady did?
He doesn't know who your dad is.
Just act upset for a minute
and then run away, okay?
I'll meet you there.
I'll get you Opal Fruits
and Dip Dabs.
-Okay.
-You go in first.
[doorbell chiming]
Your spaceship stood me up
And I didn't even
get to say goodbye
I was screaming
at the top of my lungs
Can't you see I'm here
She was lazing by the sunset,
a good time pioneer
[cashier] You're out
by yourself?
[Danny] Oh, not at all.
[cashier] Oh, it's your daddy.
What's he look like?
[Danny] He has a beard, um...
and he's wearing [indistinct],
black and white.
[cashier speaking faintly]
What about you? You see--
-[doorbell chiming]
-[ominous tone playing]
[Claire breathing heavily]
[doorbell chiming]
[Claire humming]
[ominous tone playing]
Hello?
[doorbell chiming]
[whispering] Shit.
[Claire gasps]
Now, what can I do for you then?
My friend was in here.
-Little boy?
-Yeah.
He was looking for his dad.
No, he's okay.
His dad come and took him.
[sinister tone building]
[ominous music playing]
[Claire]
I've never been up there.
[Bill]
I go up there all the time.
[bell tolling]
You've heard
what they're going to do then?
[Claire] Yeah.
Uh...
Have they been to see you?
The police? No.
No, the reporters, the media.
You know what they're like.
You?
They don't know
where I live now,
I made sure of that.
And the police?
Well, they told me there is
nothing they can do this time.
He's served his whole sentence,
it's the law.
I'm sorry.
It can't happen, it just...
can't.
If they could find something,
if they could find Danny...
they could never
let him out then.
Do you really think
Danny's up there on the moor?
With me whole heart,
and who knows how many.
I know,
I know the chances are finer.
But I have to try, don't I?
I have to do something.
One thing I know isn't crazy,
even if I never find anything,
I can put it out there.
What they're doing,
that they're about to let that
monster out,
I can make sure everyone knows.
You mean go to the media?
I'd never go
to those bastards.
Then what?
Why I wanted to talk to you.
You have that radio show
on the internet.
-My podcast?
-Yeah.
Well, yeah, you can show
what I'm doing.
Yeah, you know how to put
this stuff out there.
That's--
that's not how it works,
that's not what I do.
I-- I talk to people.
People in entertainment,
that's all.
[laughs]
I'm not a documentarian.
All I want is
for you to show everyone.
Make it so they can't ignore it
and they can't let him out.
Uh, Bill, I really can't--
I know it's not exactly
what you're doing now.
No-- It's not that I won't,
I can't.
My little podcast wasn't--
wasn't a success.
Hardly anyone listened,
my numbers were terrible.
I've got a day job
to pay the bills.
I mean, I'm--
I'm not the person
to put out there
what you're doing.
I've heard your show.
Didn't think
it was your kind of thing.
Well, it isn't...
Jacqueline listened to it
every week.
Ah, saw it to the end.
[heartfelt music playing]
You know, so I did too.
And every week
I'd wonder if...
this was a show where you'd talk
about what happened...
about Danny.
And I'd wonder
if this was a show
where I'd see that look
on me wife's face.
The same one she had every time
they talked about it on TV.
But you never did.
You never talked
about the one thing
that would get your numbers up,
get you noticed.
Share it in the news.
And you can't tell me
they haven't offered you stuff,
stuff that you really wanted,
you know,
just to talk about it.
Over the years,
those vultures in the papers
got to everyone, you know.
Parents, brothers,
sisters, uncles, cousins.
But not me and you.
People have to know
what I'm doing.
And that means the media.
But after all they've done,
it can't be them.
And it can't be tainted
like that.
That's why we have to be
the ones to do this.
[ominous music playing]
Come on, I'll introduce you.
[wind howling]
-Claire?
-Yeah.
This is Liz.
She's a friend
of one of the moor rangers.
She's been helping me
stay safe up here.
-Safe?
-Yeah, these are peat moors.
Rich habitat for wildlife,
but, uh, well,
there's dangers as well.
Especially off the established
trails where we'll be going.
You sure
you don't want to come?
[sinister tone playing]
[woman] Sorry, just
give me a sec.
Okay.
The first disappearance
was very concerning to us
at the time.
And once we realized
there was a pattern
of children going missing,
that became our only priority.
But there was not much to go on,
there was very little evidence.
Oh, it were awful,
they called it
the summer of fear.
And it did put the fear
into everybody,
every parent.
You just kept hold
of your children all the time.
Uh, I remember Mum,
she used to just let me
go to school and
it was fine, right?
And then, uh, when--
when all of this happened,
um, yeah,
she used to drop me off,
drop my brother off,
and that was it.
We got picked up
straight after school.
Teachers dropped us off
at the gate.
Mum picked us up
and off we went back again.
I remember once losing
my daughter in the supermarket
and literally, she'd only
turn round to look at something,
but the panic that were there,
you just didn't let go
of the hands for a minute,
just in case they disappeared.
Well, yeah, the hardest part
was dealing with the parents.
It's difficult to imagine
what something like that
must have been like.
There was a speech
in the school hall,
and they sent us
to speak to this, uh, woman,
social worker,
something, I don't know.
Uh, we all had to chat with her,
uh...
I guess.
[video continues faintly]
[sinister music playing]
-How did it go?
-Ah, nothing today.
Yours?
-You look shattered.
-[Bill chuckles]
We covered
a lot of area though.
Could you grab the map out
of me coat and I'll show you?
[Bill] So...
this is where we were...
and this is
where we'll be tomorrow.
What's it like out there?
Well, it's no place
for a kid to be.
[ominous music building]
From that point on,
we directed our attention
towards the moor.
They were up there all the time,
volunteering, searching.
We never really thought
about the place before then,
it was just there.
The weather was awful,
apparently rain, mist.
Any way it could have
hindered us, it did.
The logistics of searching
so much, well,
quite honestly,
dangerous moorland.
They never found anything.
We used to go berry picking
in-- in summer, do you remember?
Uh, it was like
a really traditional summer,
but it just stopped,
no announcement or anything.
Just stopped.
People just didn't go anymore.
Sad.
Normally,
it's around
about 10% of young people
who leave the area
that they were brought up in.
But since that summer...
it's been up to 50%.
Personally, I think that
they just didn't want
to see that place
out of their window anymore.
[sinister music playing]
[wind blowing]
[crackling sound]
Made you a brew,
send you on your way.
Thanks.
You know, seeing you
all grown up like this is...
...strange.
Being back here is strange.
Yeah, I'll bet.
No, I was going to say nice.
-[both chuckling]
-It makes me realize...
how many years older I am.
Is it hard for you
to do all this?
Brings things back, yeah.
Yeah, I'll bet.
And Bill?
He's Bill.
He still goes up there,
you know.
Yeah, I know, I heard.
I've actually been meaning
to ask you.
[soft mysterious tone playing]
Do you mind?
No.
So this is
where Bill's been looking.
Where are
the areas you searched?
I don't recognize
any of these places on here.
From what I can gather,
we were looking
about five miles that way.
I'm confused, so...
Were you
not looking on the moor?
Yeah, of course we were.
You think this is the moor?
[mysterious music building]
That's the moor.
How?
I mean...
Can anything be found in this?
Well, the odds were never good.
Even if you were searching
a specific area,
the chances of finding someone
in that kind of terrain...
and now, 25 years later.
I really have no idea
why Bill is searching
in that particular area.
[suspenseful tone playing]
[ominous melody building]
[indistinct chatter]
[ominous melody peaking]
[Bill] Time is
really not on my side now.
[Alex] I heard.
Claire.
This is, uh, this is Alex.
-Hello.
-Hey.
Let me know how it goes, okay?
Who's that?
Just a friend.
[ominous melody playing]
[ominous melody building]
[Liz]
Right, health and safety speech.
We walk in a row,
I'll go in the lead,
keep the person
in front of you in sight.
It's easy
to get turned around out there
and there are no landmarks.
Now we're not trekking
too far in today,
just a couple of miles or so,
but it's not easy going.
I'll be making sure
we avoid the peat bogs.
So try to make sure
you're following
in my footsteps.
[sinister tone playing]
[phone beeps]
Is that waterproof?
[Claire] Yeah, people go surfing
with these.
Want to put away the phone?
Here.
Thanks.
Do you take
all that stuff with you?
Just some emergency gear,
it's why I'm here.
Keep everyone safe.
[car door slams]
[ominous melody playing]
[ominous melody building]
[wind howling]
[Claire screams]
[Claire breathing heavily]
[Claire panting]
-What's that on the road?
-Yeah, peat rocks.
Sometimes we call them
peat hags.
[ominous melody playing]
[thunder roaring]
[Claire panting]
Is it always like this?
[Bill]
This isn't too bad, actually.
It's going easy on us, ain't it?
[Liz chuckles] Yeah, the weather
can change quite quickly.
The inconsistency
in the air pressure.
Yeah, these two big cliffs
here.
Gonna have an accident,
we need to do
a walk further round.
Will it be okay?
-See up there?
-Yeah.
See where that [indistinct] is?
Will that be okay?
[ominous music building]
How you doing?
It's--
It's something.
What did you expect?
I don't know.
Do you really think we're going
to find something out here?
I mean,
even if it was right next to us,
do you think
we're doing something other than
just, well, walking?
There is something to find here.
I know there is.
What is it?
Peat bog, a big one.
-Doesn't look any different.
-Oh, it's there.
Can't go any further that way.
Pull you right down.
[suspenseful tone playing]
[Claire panting]
-[water sloshing]
-[Claire gasping]
[Claire panting]
[Claire breathing heavily]
[Liz shouting] Claire!
[Bill shouting] Claire!
[Liz] [indistinct]
[Bill] Wait!
Don't touch it.
[sinister melody playing]
We need to preserve it.
Are you sure you can find her?
Bill, I'm sure.
[speaking indistinctly]
[Liz] Oh, a rock carving.
There's another.
They're Neolithic,
you can find them
all over these moors.
But we're going back, aren't we?
-Back the same way we came?
-Sure.
We didn't pass this
on the way out,
so how can we be going back?
We can't be going back
the same way, can we?
Claire, it's okay,
I know where we're going.
Are you okay?
We'd better get her home.
I know it's been
a long day, but...
think of what we've found.
It all looks the same.
It all looks the same.
Hey, pace yourself.
Claire, it's all right,
we're not lost.
How do we know, how do we know?
It's really not much further.
[Bill] Claire!
Wait!
[sinister music building]
Claire!
[Claire gasping]
[ominous music peaking]
[Claire breathing heavily]
[wind howling]
[officer] Look.
I'm not sure
what you feel this means.
But the area you all described,
it just doesn't correspond with
the area of our investigation.
I can see it
from your perspective.
That's a disturbing thing
to find.
It just doesn't match
the description
of what the victim was wearing.
[brooding tone playing]
This just isn't evidence.
[inauspicious melody playing]
It wasn't brilliant police work
that brought him down,
that's for sure.
It was primarily luck,
if I'm honest.
Or bad luck for him.
You know, it's like, uh,
like a cloud lifted,
lifted off everyone.
We didn't know we had
the right person at first.
But we all felt that
we were looking at someone...
who just shouldn't be out there.
They always say,
they seem normal,
could be a guy next door.
But no.
Something about him.
There was this thing about
not showing his face
on the news.
You know, 'cause it'd make him
a celebrity or something.
But actually,
that made it more scary.
Especially for us kids.
Like, how scary must his face be
for them not to show it?
Know what I mean?
What those hands had done,
what those eyes had seen.
Mistakes were made
in the investigation.
And some
were made public, but...
others weren't.
It was those mistakes
that were to blame...
for the single life sentence
that was handed down.
One life sentence...
which amounts to 25 years.
It's a travesty.
There's no doubt in my mind
that when he gets out,
it'll be a danger.
And we'll bear
some of the blame for that.
[interviewer] Do you think
that might be a reason
for the police not wanting
the investigation reopened?
That it might draw attention
to those mistakes?
[wind howling]
[sinister tone playing]
[doorbell chiming]
Danny?
Danny?
Danny?
Danny!
[panting and wheezing]
[labored breathing]
[sighing deeply]
[faint clattering]
[Bill] Can't sleep either?
Where do we go from here?
I need you to keep
an open mind, okay?
[ominous music building]
[Claire] Dowsing?
Isn't that when you
walk around with a stick?
That's water dowsing, yeah.
It's the same principle,
but it doesn't just
work for water.
[Claire] I'm a little lost here.
I use a focus.
That was Danny's.
[Alex] Something that had
significance to him in life.
And then the pendulum guides me
to what I'm focusing on.
No, no,
I was skeptical at first too.
It was Jacqueline that
was always more open-minded
about this kind of stuff.
This is how you've been
deciding where to search?
Yeah, and it led to something.
It worked, didn't it?
Maybe it'd be easier
if you'd just show her.
I can do that,
but if I'm honest, Bill,
I think we're at the end of
what I can do for you.
No, there's more
to find out there.
I'm not doing science.
It isn't exact.
I was focusing on an item
that belonged to a missing child
and it led you to an item
that belonged
to another missing child.
I'm not sure
there's anything more I can do.
Well, maybe you're right.
What about her?
I mean, she's more...
better at this
kind of stuff, isn't she?
Let's not go there, Bill, okay?
You have your priorities
and I have mine.
Who are we talking about?
Can you give us a minute?
[muffled conversation]
[Alex] [inaudible]
[Bill] I don't have time for it.
This needs to happen.
I need her. There's nobody else
that can do this.
Absolutely nobody else
and I haven't got anyone--
[Alex] She's alive, Bill.
[indistinct]
just searching for something
[indistinct] going to find.
[Bill] I am going to find...
[overlapping shouting]
[Bill] And I'll not [indistinct]
Hi.
The decision
was made and you agreed.
You saw what happened last time.
-If you were the father here...
-Dad.
-...what would you do? Huh?
-Dad!
[sighs] You-- you called her?
You-- you called her as well?
-That's--
-I decided to come.
[muffled conversation]
Didn't it worry you
that he was just...
you know, after your money?
[chuckles]
Yeah, it would do
if he'd ever ask for any.
[exhales sharply]
There were plenty of characters
I didn't like around back then.
Just looking for money or...
trying to get on
a news [indistinct], but...
[indistinct] gave some of them
a chance and I never did.
But Alex and Eleanor...
well, they were different.
Yeah.
Asked to be
to be kept out of it.
Asked me never
to tell anyone about them.
[muffled conversation]
And Alex...
He doesn't want her involved?
Well, she tried to well before,
but there were some issues.
Well, she was practically
a kid back then.
Issues?
Yeah.
I don't really
understand it myself.
[sinister music playing]
I think...
I don't know.
[muffled conversation]
-She seems nice.
-[thunder rolling]
Yeah.
[thunder rumbling]
[rain patterning]
I'd like to try
something different.
[sinister music continues]
Can you not sit there?
Sorry.
Sorry.
[rain patterning]
[inhales sharply]
[exhales sharply] Okay.
[ominous tone plays]
[sighs]
I'm not feeling anything.
[faint crackling]
[gasping]
I'm okay.
[Eleanor sighs]
[suspenseful music building]
[loud scraping]
[Eleanor panting softly]
[ragged breathing]
There.
[gasping]
Three. One. Four.
One.
-[Alex panting]
-I'm okay.
Three. One. Four. One.
[Eleanor] Five.
Five.
Five.
[exhales] Five.
Nine. Two.
Si-- six. Five.
Three.
Five.
Nine.
[panting softly] I'm okay.
I'm okay. [panting]
It's quite a trek out that far.
It'll take a lot of the day
just to get there and back.
And so how long
does that leave us
to search the area itself?
I'm not sure.
Maybe a few hours.
A day? That's-- [grunts]
That's a lot of area to cover.
Do we have that kind of time?
I'll go with you.
Ellie, no.
[Eleanor] Dad, Claire's right.
There's not enough time for Bill
to cover that kind of ground.
It could take months.
That's not what we agreed.
[Eleanor]
You know someone has to go.
That's how it works.
Dowsing the map
gives a general area,
but somebody
has to be on the ground.
[Alex]
I don't think it's a good idea
for you to go up there.
[Eleanor] Then who?
[Bill] I mean, your dad
could be right about it.
It's not like I'm going to be
up there on my own.
Are you sure?
I'm not going to say
I don't want...
need your help.
It'll be okay.
I've got the two of you
to look after me, haven't I?
-[rain patterning]
-[windshield viper clattering]
You're a student.
What is it you're studying?
Applied Mathematical Theory.
You were expecting
something a bit more...
woo-woo, weren't you?
I've got enough
woo-woo in my life.
She got her woo
from her mum.
You do the map thing,
though, don't you?
Uh, dowsing maps
is pretty basic.
So what was it
with all the numbers?
When things get overwhelming,
it's something to focus on.
It's not always easy,
what she does.
It's... an anchor type thing.
The number sequences
are solid, dependable.
They don't change.
But we're using pi.
And who doesn't like pi?
[chuckles]
What's that?
Oh, it's a dig.
They're up here from
the university sometimes.
Looking for Stone Age artefacts,
that kind of thing.
[dramatic music playing]
Is that a tent?
More people, more distance,
more precautions.
I mean,
we're not staying the night,
but in an emergency,
we'll be glad
there's some shelter.
And there's this as well.
And these work anywhere,
so don't worry.
We're covered.
[wind whooshing]
[distant, indistinct shouting]
[ominous music building]
[footsteps rustling]
[Alex] Do you film at all, then?
[Claire]
Main reason I'm here, yeah.
We like to keep
a low profile
when it comes
to this kind of thing.
[Claire] Bill told me.
You really don't want her
up here, do you?
Ellie has a gift.
And she always
wants to use it to help people.
And mostly that's okay.
But in cases like this
one, it's...
it's not good.
How do you mean?
When it's dark.
When there's violence involved.
When it's something as...
disturbing as this.
There's a cost.
[somber music playing]
You've been up here
once before, haven't you?
Not really. I haven't...
Never stepped foot
on it before.
What happened?
This place, it's...
It's different.
[unsettling music building]
You feel it too, don't you?
Feel what?
Like it's...
weighing on you.
Weighing you down.
Like it doesn't want us here.
How could a place want anything?
[Bill] They like to stare,
don't they?
[Eleanor] Makes you wonder
what they're thinking.
What the hell are these people
doing on our moor, probably?
Ready to press on?
[unsettling music continues]
We're here.
[Liz] This is it.
Can you...
Of course.
[low rumbling]
[camera beeps]
[baleful music building]
[wind whooshing]
[sighs]
There's a child.
She's hiding.
She's scared.
[distorted noises echoing]
[grunts softly]
I can't find her. [echoes]
[wind whooshing]
[Eleanor panting]
Her feet are bare.
No, one-- one foot is bare.
[Eleanor panting]
It's okay.
You don't need to hide.
We're here to help you.
We're here to take you away
from this place.
We're here to take you home.
Don't you want to come home?
See your mummy and daddy?
She--
She can't remember.
What can't she remember?
She can't...
remember her mummy and daddy.
All she remembers is the dark.
[ominous music playing]
Can you show me
your hiding place?
Can you show me?
Can you do that?
You don't need to hide.
We're not gonna hurt you.
[disembodied voice echoing]
[eerie tone playing]
[Eleanor] It's okay.
We're not gonna hurt you.
Wait.
-Wait!
-[Alex] Ellie!
[Eleanor panting]
[dramatic music playing]
[Claire shouting] Eleanor!
-[music intensifying]
-[Eleanor screams]
[indistinct whispering]
[Bill grunting in effort]
[panting]
-[Eleanor grunts]
-[Bill] Is this it?
Is this it?
-[Bill shouting] Is this it?
-Bill, stop!
[both grunting]
Ellie? Ellie. Ellie.
-[Eleanor gasps]
-Three, one, four, one.
Come on.
Three, one, four, one.
Three, one.
Four, one.
F-f-f-five.
Five. Five.
-Five. Five.
-No, no. Nine, two.
Nine, two.
[Alex] Yeah.
S-six.
Yes.
Five. Five.
-[ominous music playing]
-Five. Five. Five.
Five, five, five, five.
-No. Help me!
-Five, five, five.
[Bill grunting in effort]
-Five.
-Ellie, Ellie.
-Eight, nine, seven, nine.
-Five, five, five.
[Bill grunting]
-Eight, nine, seven, nine.
-Five, five, five, five.
-Five.
-Ellie.
Come on. [indistinct]
[Bill grunting]
-Seven, two, three.
-Yes, come on, come on.
-Eight, four.
-Come on.
I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay.
-I'm okay. I'm okay.
-[Alex panting]
-[fearsome music playing]

[somber piano instrumental]
[Eleanor over phone] Are you
still having those dreams?
[Claire] Every night now,
sometimes...
I'm on the wall.
Sometimes I'm...
in the street by the shop.
Sometimes...
I see that
little girl's face in the mud.
But the face is Danny's.
[Eleanor] In the dreams
are you an adult
or does it feel like
you're a child again?
I don't know.
[Eleanor] Well, dreams
aren't really my thing.
I've been listening to
some of your old podcasts,
by the way.
The one about
the [indistinct] was funny.
[Claire scoffs]
[Eleanor] There's
nothing new up, though.
No, I haven't done one
since this all started.
It just hasn't...
felt right. [grunts softly]
-How's your dad?
-[Eleanor] Still mad at Bill.
Are you back staying
at his house again?
[sighs] Yeah.
The media found my flat.
I can't get near it now.
[Eleanor] Have they been
really bad?
One of them pretended
to be a detective.
I almost told him
all kinds of things.
[Eleanor] That's awful.
Well, at least they haven't
found Bill's place yet.
How is he?
He's Bill. It's hard to tell.
When I wake up in the night,
I hear him walking around.
I don't think
he sleeps much anymore.
[piano instrumental continues]
[Eleanor] Well, where is he now?
[Claire] Where he's been
for days.
[Eleanor] So it's true.
[ominous music playing]
He agreed to show the way...
to Danny and the others.
[Claire] Bill believes
he's not going to
lead them to anything.
He's just... playing a game.
-A sick game.
-[Eleanor] He can't.
I mean, they can't let him out
after what we found.
The peat preserved
the body really well.
[sighs] They found some
sort of forensic evidence.
But with another
murdered child connected to him,
there's no way
he's getting out now.
[Eleanor] Do they know
who she is?
I've not been able
to find anything
that they've made public.
She wasn't one of
the known victims.
She was from a different area,
three years before the others.
[Eleanor] Oh, my God.
How long was he doing it?
[Claire] Actually,
there's no way of telling
how many victims
there were, but...
I-- I agree with Bill.
I don't...
think he'll ever
give up what he took.
But...
Danny's still...
still up there.
I thought it might make him...
feel better if we made sure
he wouldn't roam free, but it...
yeah, it-- it doesn't.
So...
[Eleanor] I...
I don't wanna go back up
there again, Claire.
No.
I understand.
[wind whooshing]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Eleanor] Maybe there's...
one thing I can do.
This is... hard to explain.
I have a connection
with a spirit.
I guess you could
call it a guardian.
I have Dad on one side, and...
on the other I have Thomas.
Our bond is what allows me
to do what I do.
He's been with me
for as long as I can remember.
Protecting me from...
the other side.
It can be...
loud.
Confusing.
All those voices,
desperate for attention.
Thomas stops them
from overwhelming me.
Without him I'd be...
totally exposed.
When we want to open that door
Thomas is like the key.
We open it
just enough to glimpse
the other side, but...
then I have to close it.
Thomas is an old spirit.
He can be temperamental.
He particularly
doesn't like being sat on.
[Eleanor chuckles]
He was with me...
the entire time up on the moor.
He's always, always by my side.
But I'm telling you this...
so that you can
try to understand
what I'm about to do.
Thomas doesn't speak to me.
It's more of a feeling.
But he can speak through me.
He may be the only one...
who can explain
what we're dealing with.
It's best
not to look him in the eye.
It agitates him.
Let's all look away. Okay?
[faint buzzing]
[low rumbling music building]
[faint rustling]
[sigh echoing]
[Alex] Thomas?
Thomas can you hear me?
[faint sigh echoing]
[Thomas] Yes.
[Alex] Thomas will you answer
some questions for us?
[Thomas] Yes.
What can you tell us
about the children?
[Thomas] Can't hear.
You can't hear
the children?
[Thomas] Voices.
Many voices.
But not from them.
No voices from them all.
What does that mean?
[Thomas] Silent.
Very silent.
Dark.
[voice distorts]
Very dark. Old. Very old.
[Bill] And what about Danny?
Where's Danny?
[Thomas] In the dark.
In that place.
And does he remember me?
Does he remember his mum?
[Thomas] Dreaming. [indistinct]
-Dreaming.
-[Bill] What does that mean?
If I find him...
if I bring him home
will he be safe then?
[dark, menacing music playing]
[Thomas] Dreaming in the dark.
-[loud thud]
-What does that mean?
[growls in frustration]
[Alex] Enough, Bill.
Where's my son?
[music fades]
[distorted music building]
-[music stops abruptly]
-[Eleanor panting]
Ellie. Ellie.
[Alex whispering] Ellie. One...
-[Alex] One.
-That's where we need to go.
That's where we need to go.
-Bill.
-We need to go out there
and bring Danny back home.
[Alex] Absolutely not.
That's crazy.
-Eleanor.
-[Alex] Bill.
-[Alex] No.
-Bill, calm down.
He needs us.
[door slams shut]
He's losing it.
[Claire] This is--
This is just...
Danny's still out there.
He's alone.
He...
He's not alone, Claire.
[ominous music building]
Bill's right.
And we know he's right.
We helped that little girl
and she's safe now.
We need to help Danny.
[engine revving]
[wind whooshing]
[panting]
Five.
What?
Five circles.
I spoke with those people
working at the dig
we found and...
they told me that every rock
carving on the Moor is unique
but they all have these
five circles in groups of five.
Did they say who put them here?
No.
The Stone Age or...
at least 5,000 years old.
But those archaeologists
thought they were older.
They were hoping
to dig up some evidence of that.
Have you seen
one like this before?
[suspenseful music playing]
-[thunder rumbling]
-[rain pattering]
What time is it?
Still day.
It's not safe
to keep going like this.
[Bill panting]
[indistinct chatter]
Get in.
[all panting]
I can't feel my face.
You okay?
Thomas doesn't like it here.
He's-- [panting]
He's nervous.
He's never been nervous before.
That feeling
we're not wanted here...
is so strong now.
Can't you feel it?
I don't know.
What?
This place just feels familiar.
Like I've been here before.
Anyone hungry?
We've got... [groans]
...granola.
Ah, chocolate.
[Alex laughs]
[tense music playing]
I'm gonna go
check on the others.
Dad, I think I might be wrong.
[Alex] What?
About this place
not wanting her here.
[Bill grunting]
[indistinct]
It's really clear now.
-[Liz] No visibility, though.
-[Bill grunts]
[Liz] We need to see
where we're standing.
[Bill] You think
it'll clear up for us?
Let's give it some time.
[breathing heavily]
I can call in help
if we get stuck.
[indistinct chatter]
[Alex] So anyone know
any good songs?
-More shanties?
-[Liz] Shanties?
What am I, a sailor? [scoffs]
Any old Yorkshire folk songs?
Probably for the best.
Not that you don't have
a beautiful voice, I'm sure.
You'd be surprised, actually.
Bill was a lead in
the Howmore male voice choir
back in the day.
[Alex] Really?
[Liz] Oh, yeah.
You kept that quiet.
Voice like an angel.
I can see that.
Then come on, Bill.
How about it?
I don't do it anymore.
-[Alex] Just one--
-I said I don't do it anymore.
-Call of the nature.
-In twos.
-I'll be fine.
-You need to keep--
[Bill] Really, I'll be fine.
[eerie music playing]
[leaves rustling]
[tense music playing]
[dramatic music playing]
-There's someone there.
-[Liz] Oi, wait!
[Bill panting]
[Bill groaning in effort]
What is his problem?
How does anyone put up with him?
How do you put up with him?
[Bill groaning]
[Bill panting]
-Now, now.
-[Bill groaning in effort]
Right, now! Now, now!
[both groaning]
[both breathing heavily]
Did you see him? He was here.
Where?
That's peat bog.
No one can stand out there.
-I saw him.
-Don't run off like that.
You know it's not safe.
Shit, I can't see the tent.
-Dad.
-[scoffs] Wh-- I know it...
Now I need to go.
Back in a minute.
I'm sorry about that.
Don't worry about it. It's fine.
I'm curious about you and Bill.
[tense music playing]
My mum and dad were--
well, they're nice,
they're just...
were never really there,
you know?
I could get away
with anything, really.
Even after Danny.
We never...
we never really talked about it.
But Bill...
Bill was this old-school
kind of dad, you know?
Strict, but fair.
You knew where your limits were.
And woe betide you
if you tried to pass him.
[somber music playing]
After Danny...
it was like...
well...
there were strange men
in the house the whole time.
They'd ask me questions, but...
mostly they'd be just
talking out of my earshot
in hushed voices.
I convinced myself
it was my fault.
Like I...
fooled my parents, as always,
and the police.
But Bill, he...
he'd know.
-[Bill groans in pain]
-[Liz] Bill, come on.
[both breathing heavily]
I remember the first time
I saw Bill afterwards.
He came in, face like thunder.
He'd been arguing
with the police, I think.
And he marched
straight over to me.
I was so scared.
I was so sure he'd take
one look at me and he'd know.
He'd know it was
all my fault, really.
That...
Danny was gone because of me.
But he hugged me.
And he said, "Are you okay?"
[exhales in relief]
And just like that...
I was like,
"It can't be my fault.
Because if it
had been my fault...
he wouldn't have hugged me
and asked if I was okay,
you know?" [chuckles]
We moved away
straight after that.
My parents just wanted it
all behind us, you know?
Claire, I'm...
I'm worried something wants you.
[suspenseful music playing]
[wind howling]
[gasps]
[Alex speaking indistinctly]
[Claire gasps]
[Claire panting]
You took your time.
-Where are the others?
-He's gone.
He's gone, he's--
he's-- Thomas just--
-he just left me. He's--
-What?
[Eleanor] He screamed
and left me. He--
The door's open
and I-- I can't-- I can't go.
What do I-- [panting]
There's--
there's something here.
There's-- [shudders]
There's something here, Dad.
You need to help me.
Dad, you need to help me.
I can't--
I don't know what to do.
[sobbing]
I don't know what to do.
You need to help me now, Dad.
You need to help me.
You need to help me.
[sobbing] Can you help me?
[Eleanor screaming]
What are you doing?
Why aren't you helping her?
[Eleanor mumbling]
-[Eleanor whimpering]
-What's going on?
[Eleanor panting]
I'm getting some help.
[indistinct].
[Eleanor muttering]
[radio crackling]
Yeah, we've got a medical
emergency [indistinct]--
[woman over radio]
[indistinct] medical support.
What?
[Claire over radio]
You feel it too, don't you?
[Eleanor muttering]
Look, I need someone to--
[Bill over radio]
I don't do that anymore.
I don't understand.
[Claire over radio]
You took your time.
Who is this?
[Liz over radio]
I can call in help
if we get stuck.
[man over radio]
Anyone [indistinct].
[Eleanor panting]
[kids' voices
speaking indistinctly]
[kid sobbing]
[kids screaming]
[Danny shouting] Help. Help.
That's Danny.
That's Danny.
[Eleanor groaning in pain]
[Eleanor choking]

Stay near the tent!
Stay near the tent!
[Eleanor screaming]
Eleanor!
[Bill panting]
[both breathing heavily]
-[Bill] How is she?
-She's breathing.
Where's Alex?
[Liz] Stay with her.
[Bill] Alex!
[Claire] Alex!
Alex!
Alex!
[eerie music playing]
Don't run off like that.
-I didn't run off. You ran off.
-What do you mean?
[Alex] I've been shouting
my head off out here for ages.
You [indistinct] the tent.
I've been out here.
But you were there.
I saw you in the tent
after Eleanor--
Eleanor what?
What's happened to Ellie?
We need to get back.
[Liz panting]
They've got no eyes.
[disembodied voices whispering]
[siren wailing in distance]
[siren wailing]
[inaudible]
[music fades]
I'll call ya.
Bill.
I'm done.
Just us now.
[phone ringing]
[Thornley] Hi. Claire, listen.
Tell me you're not on the moor.
[Claire] No, not anymore.
[Thornley] That's good.
Well, then
don't go back up there, okay?
What? Why?
Well, I can't say, really,
but just--
just stay away from the moor.
What's this about?
Come on, you can tell me.
Okay, but this is strictly
off the record, right?
Yesterday, when the police
took him out to search...
they...
well, I don't really
understand it,
but there was something
about the weather.
And...
He got away somehow.
He got away.
[Bill] What?
[phone beeps]
[ominous music playing]
This time we'll find him.
Bill...
We can't go up there again.
Eleanor's in hospital.
And he...
He's out there now.
There's no need
to worry about that.
I'll be ready for him.
[floor creaks]
-[Claire breathing heavily]
-[footsteps departing]
[ragged breathing]
[Claire] It's been a while.
I...
I don't often talk
about myself on here.
There are things
that I get asked about a lot,
but I've never talked
about them.
When really
bad things happen, we...
we want to somehow
make sense of them...
understand them, we need to.
So we can put them in a little
box and tie a bow around it,
put it on a shelf
and leave it there.
That way
it can't hurt us anymore.
Some things are so senseless,
so beyond
what we can understand,
that we can never do that.
We try to dismiss them,
not think about them, but...
That just feels like a...
a betrayal.
So we keep trying.
We keep trying to understand.
Trying to make
the senseless make sense.
And that leaves us
unable to move on.
There's a time to accept
some things
will always be senseless.
So what can we do?
We can talk about them.
[chuckles]
And what I'm saying is...
I think I'm ready
to talk about it now.
[whimsical chime plays]
[textiles rustling]
[Bill] This is all?
-[Claire] Yeah.
-[Bill] Bring it with you.
[Claire breathing heavily]
[objects clattering]
[Claire breathing heavily]
[Claire sobs] Yeah.
-Please.
-Keep moving.
Why are you not talking
to me, Bill?
Please talk to me.
[Claire sobs]
You heard him.
[Bill, indistinct]
[Claire whimpering]
[Claire] I heard some--
Something.
This is the only way
I can get him back.
[Claire breathes heavily]
I can't-- [grunting]
[Bill] Get up.
[Claire sobs]
[Bill] Come on.
[Claire sobs, breathing heavily]
Please, Bill. Please.
Fuck you!
[Claire screams]
-[sheep bleating]
-[Claire gasping]
-[sheep whining]
-Oh, my God.
Bill-- [pants]
-Keep moving.
-[Claire yelps]
I don't understand
why you're doing this.
[Bill] You know, they used
to bring people out here.
[Claire] What? Who?
To the dig.
Told me about the peat bodies
that kept turning up here
over the years.
Dead people.
Preserved in the peat.
Over thousands of years old.
They were sacrificed.
[Claire] Sacrificed?
In the Stone Age,
they used to
bring people out here...
suffocate them...
bury them.
To appease some evil.
-[Claire] Bill...
-[Bill] Don't you understand?
There's something out here.
Something old.
Something terrible.
Something that people
have always been scared of.
And Danny was sacrificed to it.
Only it wasn't meant to be him.
[Claire] Where is
this coming from?
[Bill] You heard it.
-[Bill] The voice in the tent.
-[Claire] You--
You understood that.
You didn't?
It said I needed to do this.
Oh, my God. [Claire sobs]
It was never Danny
it wanted, really.
[Claire sobbing]
-It was you.
-[Claire] Me?
It was always
supposed to be you.
[sobbing] Please, Bill, please.
-Keep moving.
-[Claire screaming] No, please!
Bill! [breathing heavily]
[Bill] Keep going.
We'll be there soon.
[Claire] Where are we going?
[Bill] We need to make it
all the way.
This time you go all the way.
All the way.
I don't understand.
This is it.
[Claire] There's nothing here.
There's nothing here, Bill.
[Bill]
There should be something here!
Why isn't there anything here?
[Claire] Just-- just listen
to me for a moment, okay?
Just listen to me.
He said if I brought you here...
I'd find Danny.
[Claire sobs]
That's what he said.
That's what the voice said.
[Claire] Bill, look around.
Danny's not here.
Think about it.
He-- how could he be here, Bill?
How could Danny be here now?
Oh, I have to get him back.
It promised. The voice promised.
[Claire] Bill, Danny is gone.
He's been gone
for 25 years, Bill.
[Bill sobs]
This-- this place
is making you not yourself.
Think about what you're doing.
Where we-- where we are.
Please, please, just...
[sighs] ...let's just go home.
Let's just go home, Bill.
[wind whooshing]
[Claire sobs]
Please, Bill,
let's just go home.
[Claire sobs]
-[Claire gasps]
-[gunshot bangs]
[Bill] Fuck you! [indistinct]

[Claire whimpering]
[Claire sobbing]
[gunshot bangs]
[Claire gasping and sobbing]
[Claire breathing heavily]
[Claire] Bill...
[Bill] I understand now.
[Claire] The moor.
The moor.
[Claire grunting]
[Claire screaming and sobbing]
Bill, help me!
Pl-- please!
Please, please, please, please!
Help me, please!
[Claire sobbing]
Bill, please help!
Help!

["We'll Always Have Neptune"
by Spangled playing]
Feel the kiss of love
-I ate them all.
-Do you have any?
-No.
-Do you want some more?
What kind?
-What's your favorite?
-Opal Fruits.
No, the sherbet one,
with the lolly.
-Dip Dab?
-Is that the one with the lolly?
Because I don't like
the one with the licorice.
Yeah, it's the one
with the lolly.
I'm going to get us
some sweets, okay?
But we don't have any money,
do we?
We don't need any,
if you help me.
All you need to do
is go into the shop
and tell the man
that you've lost your dad.
-Why?
-Just to distract him from it.
-Okay?
-Why?
Because I can't,
-he doesn't like me.
-Why?
Are you going to say that all
day, or do you want some sweets?
Come here, look.
Do you remember
when you got lost in Safeway?
You went up to that lady
and you asked her
if she could
help you find your dad.
-Yeah?
-Just do that, okay?
But my dad's away
on a work trip this week.
I know, it doesn't matter.
But what if he calls my dad
like the lady did?
He doesn't know who your dad is.
Just act upset for a minute
and then run away, okay?
I'll meet you there.
I'll get you Opal Fruits
and Dip Dabs.
-Okay.
-You go in first.
[doorbell chiming]
Your spaceship stood me up
And I didn't even
get to say goodbye
I was screaming
at the top of my lungs
Can't you see I'm here
She was lazing by the sunset,
a good time pioneer
[cashier] You're out
by yourself?
[Danny] Oh, not at all.
[cashier] Oh, it's your daddy.
What's he look like?
[Danny] He has a beard, um...
and he's wearing [indistinct],
black and white.
[cashier speaking faintly]
What about you? You see--
-[doorbell chiming]
-[ominous tone playing]
[Claire breathing heavily]
[doorbell chiming]
[Claire humming]
[ominous tone playing]
Hello?
[doorbell chiming]
[whispering] Shit.
[Claire gasps]
Now, what can I do for you then?
My friend was in here.
-Little boy?
-Yeah.
He was looking for his dad.
No, he's okay.
His dad come and took him.
[sinister tone building]
[ominous music playing]
[Claire]
I've never been up there.
[Bill]
I go up there all the time.
[bell tolling]
You've heard
what they're going to do then?
[Claire] Yeah.
Uh...
Have they been to see you?
The police? No.
No, the reporters, the media.
You know what they're like.
You?
They don't know
where I live now,
I made sure of that.
And the police?
Well, they told me there is
nothing they can do this time.
He's served his whole sentence,
it's the law.
I'm sorry.
It can't happen, it just...
can't.
If they could find something,
if they could find Danny...
they could never
let him out then.
Do you really think
Danny's up there on the moor?
With me whole heart,
and who knows how many.
I know,
I know the chances are finer.
But I have to try, don't I?
I have to do something.
One thing I know isn't crazy,
even if I never find anything,
I can put it out there.
What they're doing,
that they're about to let that
monster out,
I can make sure everyone knows.
You mean go to the media?
I'd never go
to those bastards.
Then what?
Why I wanted to talk to you.
You have that radio show
on the internet.
-My podcast?
-Yeah.
Well, yeah, you can show
what I'm doing.
Yeah, you know how to put
this stuff out there.
That's--
that's not how it works,
that's not what I do.
I-- I talk to people.
People in entertainment,
that's all.
[laughs]
I'm not a documentarian.
All I want is
for you to show everyone.
Make it so they can't ignore it
and they can't let him out.
Uh, Bill, I really can't--
I know it's not exactly
what you're doing now.
No-- It's not that I won't,
I can't.
My little podcast wasn't--
wasn't a success.
Hardly anyone listened,
my numbers were terrible.
I've got a day job
to pay the bills.
I mean, I'm--
I'm not the person
to put out there
what you're doing.
I've heard your show.
Didn't think
it was your kind of thing.
Well, it isn't...
Jacqueline listened to it
every week.
Ah, saw it to the end.
[heartfelt music playing]
You know, so I did too.
And every week
I'd wonder if...
this was a show where you'd talk
about what happened...
about Danny.
And I'd wonder
if this was a show
where I'd see that look
on me wife's face.
The same one she had every time
they talked about it on TV.
But you never did.
You never talked
about the one thing
that would get your numbers up,
get you noticed.
Share it in the news.
And you can't tell me
they haven't offered you stuff,
stuff that you really wanted,
you know,
just to talk about it.
Over the years,
those vultures in the papers
got to everyone, you know.
Parents, brothers,
sisters, uncles, cousins.
But not me and you.
People have to know
what I'm doing.
And that means the media.
But after all they've done,
it can't be them.
And it can't be tainted
like that.
That's why we have to be
the ones to do this.
[ominous music playing]
Come on, I'll introduce you.
[wind howling]
-Claire?
-Yeah.
This is Liz.
She's a friend
of one of the moor rangers.
She's been helping me
stay safe up here.
-Safe?
-Yeah, these are peat moors.
Rich habitat for wildlife,
but, uh, well,
there's dangers as well.
Especially off the established
trails where we'll be going.
You sure
you don't want to come?
[sinister tone playing]
[woman] Sorry, just
give me a sec.
Okay.
The first disappearance
was very concerning to us
at the time.
And once we realized
there was a pattern
of children going missing,
that became our only priority.
But there was not much to go on,
there was very little evidence.
Oh, it were awful,
they called it
the summer of fear.
And it did put the fear
into everybody,
every parent.
You just kept hold
of your children all the time.
Uh, I remember Mum,
she used to just let me
go to school and
it was fine, right?
And then, uh, when--
when all of this happened,
um, yeah,
she used to drop me off,
drop my brother off,
and that was it.
We got picked up
straight after school.
Teachers dropped us off
at the gate.
Mum picked us up
and off we went back again.
I remember once losing
my daughter in the supermarket
and literally, she'd only
turn round to look at something,
but the panic that were there,
you just didn't let go
of the hands for a minute,
just in case they disappeared.
Well, yeah, the hardest part
was dealing with the parents.
It's difficult to imagine
what something like that
must have been like.
There was a speech
in the school hall,
and they sent us
to speak to this, uh, woman,
social worker,
something, I don't know.
Uh, we all had to chat with her,
uh...
I guess.
[video continues faintly]
[sinister music playing]
-How did it go?
-Ah, nothing today.
Yours?
-You look shattered.
-[Bill chuckles]
We covered
a lot of area though.
Could you grab the map out
of me coat and I'll show you?
[Bill] So...
this is where we were...
and this is
where we'll be tomorrow.
What's it like out there?
Well, it's no place
for a kid to be.
[ominous music building]
From that point on,
we directed our attention
towards the moor.
They were up there all the time,
volunteering, searching.
We never really thought
about the place before then,
it was just there.
The weather was awful,
apparently rain, mist.
Any way it could have
hindered us, it did.
The logistics of searching
so much, well,
quite honestly,
dangerous moorland.
They never found anything.
We used to go berry picking
in-- in summer, do you remember?
Uh, it was like
a really traditional summer,
but it just stopped,
no announcement or anything.
Just stopped.
People just didn't go anymore.
Sad.
Normally,
it's around
about 10% of young people
who leave the area
that they were brought up in.
But since that summer...
it's been up to 50%.
Personally, I think that
they just didn't want
to see that place
out of their window anymore.
[sinister music playing]
[wind blowing]
[crackling sound]
Made you a brew,
send you on your way.
Thanks.
You know, seeing you
all grown up like this is...
...strange.
Being back here is strange.
Yeah, I'll bet.
No, I was going to say nice.
-[both chuckling]
-It makes me realize...
how many years older I am.
Is it hard for you
to do all this?
Brings things back, yeah.
Yeah, I'll bet.
And Bill?
He's Bill.
He still goes up there,
you know.
Yeah, I know, I heard.
I've actually been meaning
to ask you.
[soft mysterious tone playing]
Do you mind?
No.
So this is
where Bill's been looking.
Where are
the areas you searched?
I don't recognize
any of these places on here.
From what I can gather,
we were looking
about five miles that way.
I'm confused, so...
Were you
not looking on the moor?
Yeah, of course we were.
You think this is the moor?
[mysterious music building]
That's the moor.
How?
I mean...
Can anything be found in this?
Well, the odds were never good.
Even if you were searching
a specific area,
the chances of finding someone
in that kind of terrain...
and now, 25 years later.
I really have no idea
why Bill is searching
in that particular area.
[suspenseful tone playing]
[ominous melody building]
[indistinct chatter]
[ominous melody peaking]
[Bill] Time is
really not on my side now.
[Alex] I heard.
Claire.
This is, uh, this is Alex.
-Hello.
-Hey.
Let me know how it goes, okay?
Who's that?
Just a friend.
[ominous melody playing]
[ominous melody building]
[Liz]
Right, health and safety speech.
We walk in a row,
I'll go in the lead,
keep the person
in front of you in sight.
It's easy
to get turned around out there
and there are no landmarks.
Now we're not trekking
too far in today,
just a couple of miles or so,
but it's not easy going.
I'll be making sure
we avoid the peat bogs.
So try to make sure
you're following
in my footsteps.
[sinister tone playing]
[phone beeps]
Is that waterproof?
[Claire] Yeah, people go surfing
with these.
Want to put away the phone?
Here.
Thanks.
Do you take
all that stuff with you?
Just some emergency gear,
it's why I'm here.
Keep everyone safe.
[car door slams]
[ominous melody playing]
[ominous melody building]
[wind howling]
[Claire screams]
[Claire breathing heavily]
[Claire panting]
-What's that on the road?
-Yeah, peat rocks.
Sometimes we call them
peat hags.
[ominous melody playing]
[thunder roaring]
[Claire panting]
Is it always like this?
[Bill]
This isn't too bad, actually.
It's going easy on us, ain't it?
[Liz chuckles] Yeah, the weather
can change quite quickly.
The inconsistency
in the air pressure.
Yeah, these two big cliffs
here.
Gonna have an accident,
we need to do
a walk further round.
Will it be okay?
-See up there?
-Yeah.
See where that [indistinct] is?
Will that be okay?
[ominous music building]
How you doing?
It's--
It's something.
What did you expect?
I don't know.
Do you really think we're going
to find something out here?
I mean,
even if it was right next to us,
do you think
we're doing something other than
just, well, walking?
There is something to find here.
I know there is.
What is it?
Peat bog, a big one.
-Doesn't look any different.
-Oh, it's there.
Can't go any further that way.
Pull you right down.
[suspenseful tone playing]
[Claire panting]
-[water sloshing]
-[Claire gasping]
[Claire panting]
[Claire breathing heavily]
[Liz shouting] Claire!
[Bill shouting] Claire!
[Liz] [indistinct]
[Bill] Wait!
Don't touch it.
[sinister melody playing]
We need to preserve it.
Are you sure you can find her?
Bill, I'm sure.
[speaking indistinctly]
[Liz] Oh, a rock carving.
There's another.
They're Neolithic,
you can find them
all over these moors.
But we're going back, aren't we?
-Back the same way we came?
-Sure.
We didn't pass this
on the way out,
so how can we be going back?
We can't be going back
the same way, can we?
Claire, it's okay,
I know where we're going.
Are you okay?
We'd better get her home.
I know it's been
a long day, but...
think of what we've found.
It all looks the same.
It all looks the same.
Hey, pace yourself.
Claire, it's all right,
we're not lost.
How do we know, how do we know?
It's really not much further.
[Bill] Claire!
Wait!
[sinister music building]
Claire!
[Claire gasping]
[ominous music peaking]
[Claire breathing heavily]
[wind howling]
[officer] Look.
I'm not sure
what you feel this means.
But the area you all described,
it just doesn't correspond with
the area of our investigation.
I can see it
from your perspective.
That's a disturbing thing
to find.
It just doesn't match
the description
of what the victim was wearing.
[brooding tone playing]
This just isn't evidence.
[inauspicious melody playing]
It wasn't brilliant police work
that brought him down,
that's for sure.
It was primarily luck,
if I'm honest.
Or bad luck for him.
You know, it's like, uh,
like a cloud lifted,
lifted off everyone.
We didn't know we had
the right person at first.
But we all felt that
we were looking at someone...
who just shouldn't be out there.
They always say,
they seem normal,
could be a guy next door.
But no.
Something about him.
There was this thing about
not showing his face
on the news.
You know, 'cause it'd make him
a celebrity or something.
But actually,
that made it more scary.
Especially for us kids.
Like, how scary must his face be
for them not to show it?
Know what I mean?
What those hands had done,
what those eyes had seen.
Mistakes were made
in the investigation.
And some
were made public, but...
others weren't.
It was those mistakes
that were to blame...
for the single life sentence
that was handed down.
One life sentence...
which amounts to 25 years.
It's a travesty.
There's no doubt in my mind
that when he gets out,
it'll be a danger.
And we'll bear
some of the blame for that.
[interviewer] Do you think
that might be a reason
for the police not wanting
the investigation reopened?
That it might draw attention
to those mistakes?
[wind howling]
[sinister tone playing]
[doorbell chiming]
Danny?
Danny?
Danny?
Danny!
[panting and wheezing]
[labored breathing]
[sighing deeply]
[faint clattering]
[Bill] Can't sleep either?
Where do we go from here?
I need you to keep
an open mind, okay?
[ominous music building]
[Claire] Dowsing?
Isn't that when you
walk around with a stick?
That's water dowsing, yeah.
It's the same principle,
but it doesn't just
work for water.
[Claire] I'm a little lost here.
I use a focus.
That was Danny's.
[Alex] Something that had
significance to him in life.
And then the pendulum guides me
to what I'm focusing on.
No, no,
I was skeptical at first too.
It was Jacqueline that
was always more open-minded
about this kind of stuff.
This is how you've been
deciding where to search?
Yeah, and it led to something.
It worked, didn't it?
Maybe it'd be easier
if you'd just show her.
I can do that,
but if I'm honest, Bill,
I think we're at the end of
what I can do for you.
No, there's more
to find out there.
I'm not doing science.
It isn't exact.
I was focusing on an item
that belonged to a missing child
and it led you to an item
that belonged
to another missing child.
I'm not sure
there's anything more I can do.
Well, maybe you're right.
What about her?
I mean, she's more...
better at this
kind of stuff, isn't she?
Let's not go there, Bill, okay?
You have your priorities
and I have mine.
Who are we talking about?
Can you give us a minute?
[muffled conversation]
[Alex] [inaudible]
[Bill] I don't have time for it.
This needs to happen.
I need her. There's nobody else
that can do this.
Absolutely nobody else
and I haven't got anyone--
[Alex] She's alive, Bill.
[indistinct]
just searching for something
[indistinct] going to find.
[Bill] I am going to find...
[overlapping shouting]
[Bill] And I'll not [indistinct]
Hi.
The decision
was made and you agreed.
You saw what happened last time.
-If you were the father here...
-Dad.
-...what would you do? Huh?
-Dad!
[sighs] You-- you called her?
You-- you called her as well?
-That's--
-I decided to come.
[muffled conversation]
Didn't it worry you
that he was just...
you know, after your money?
[chuckles]
Yeah, it would do
if he'd ever ask for any.
[exhales sharply]
There were plenty of characters
I didn't like around back then.
Just looking for money or...
trying to get on
a news [indistinct], but...
[indistinct] gave some of them
a chance and I never did.
But Alex and Eleanor...
well, they were different.
Yeah.
Asked to be
to be kept out of it.
Asked me never
to tell anyone about them.
[muffled conversation]
And Alex...
He doesn't want her involved?
Well, she tried to well before,
but there were some issues.
Well, she was practically
a kid back then.
Issues?
Yeah.
I don't really
understand it myself.
[sinister music playing]
I think...
I don't know.
[muffled conversation]
-She seems nice.
-[thunder rolling]
Yeah.
[thunder rumbling]
[rain patterning]
I'd like to try
something different.
[sinister music continues]
Can you not sit there?
Sorry.
Sorry.
[rain patterning]
[inhales sharply]
[exhales sharply] Okay.
[ominous tone plays]
[sighs]
I'm not feeling anything.
[faint crackling]
[gasping]
I'm okay.
[Eleanor sighs]
[suspenseful music building]
[loud scraping]
[Eleanor panting softly]
[ragged breathing]
There.
[gasping]
Three. One. Four.
One.
-[Alex panting]
-I'm okay.
Three. One. Four. One.
[Eleanor] Five.
Five.
Five.
[exhales] Five.
Nine. Two.
Si-- six. Five.
Three.
Five.
Nine.
[panting softly] I'm okay.
I'm okay. [panting]
It's quite a trek out that far.
It'll take a lot of the day
just to get there and back.
And so how long
does that leave us
to search the area itself?
I'm not sure.
Maybe a few hours.
A day? That's-- [grunts]
That's a lot of area to cover.
Do we have that kind of time?
I'll go with you.
Ellie, no.
[Eleanor] Dad, Claire's right.
There's not enough time for Bill
to cover that kind of ground.
It could take months.
That's not what we agreed.
[Eleanor]
You know someone has to go.
That's how it works.
Dowsing the map
gives a general area,
but somebody
has to be on the ground.
[Alex]
I don't think it's a good idea
for you to go up there.
[Eleanor] Then who?
[Bill] I mean, your dad
could be right about it.
It's not like I'm going to be
up there on my own.
Are you sure?
I'm not going to say
I don't want...
need your help.
It'll be okay.
I've got the two of you
to look after me, haven't I?
-[rain patterning]
-[windshield viper clattering]
You're a student.
What is it you're studying?
Applied Mathematical Theory.
You were expecting
something a bit more...
woo-woo, weren't you?
I've got enough
woo-woo in my life.
She got her woo
from her mum.
You do the map thing,
though, don't you?
Uh, dowsing maps
is pretty basic.
So what was it
with all the numbers?
When things get overwhelming,
it's something to focus on.
It's not always easy,
what she does.
It's... an anchor type thing.
The number sequences
are solid, dependable.
They don't change.
But we're using pi.
And who doesn't like pi?
[chuckles]
What's that?
Oh, it's a dig.
They're up here from
the university sometimes.
Looking for Stone Age artefacts,
that kind of thing.
[dramatic music playing]
Is that a tent?
More people, more distance,
more precautions.
I mean,
we're not staying the night,
but in an emergency,
we'll be glad
there's some shelter.
And there's this as well.
And these work anywhere,
so don't worry.
We're covered.
[wind whooshing]
[distant, indistinct shouting]
[ominous music building]
[footsteps rustling]
[Alex] Do you film at all, then?
[Claire]
Main reason I'm here, yeah.
We like to keep
a low profile
when it comes
to this kind of thing.
[Claire] Bill told me.
You really don't want her
up here, do you?
Ellie has a gift.
And she always
wants to use it to help people.
And mostly that's okay.
But in cases like this
one, it's...
it's not good.
How do you mean?
When it's dark.
When there's violence involved.
When it's something as...
disturbing as this.
There's a cost.
[somber music playing]
You've been up here
once before, haven't you?
Not really. I haven't...
Never stepped foot
on it before.
What happened?
This place, it's...
It's different.
[unsettling music building]
You feel it too, don't you?
Feel what?
Like it's...
weighing on you.
Weighing you down.
Like it doesn't want us here.
How could a place want anything?
[Bill] They like to stare,
don't they?
[Eleanor] Makes you wonder
what they're thinking.
What the hell are these people
doing on our moor, probably?
Ready to press on?
[unsettling music continues]
We're here.
[Liz] This is it.
Can you...
Of course.
[low rumbling]
[camera beeps]
[baleful music building]
[wind whooshing]
[sighs]
There's a child.
She's hiding.
She's scared.
[distorted noises echoing]
[grunts softly]
I can't find her. [echoes]
[wind whooshing]
[Eleanor panting]
Her feet are bare.
No, one-- one foot is bare.
[Eleanor panting]
It's okay.
You don't need to hide.
We're here to help you.
We're here to take you away
from this place.
We're here to take you home.
Don't you want to come home?
See your mummy and daddy?
She--
She can't remember.
What can't she remember?
She can't...
remember her mummy and daddy.
All she remembers is the dark.
[ominous music playing]
Can you show me
your hiding place?
Can you show me?
Can you do that?
You don't need to hide.
We're not gonna hurt you.
[disembodied voice echoing]
[eerie tone playing]
[Eleanor] It's okay.
We're not gonna hurt you.
Wait.
-Wait!
-[Alex] Ellie!
[Eleanor panting]
[dramatic music playing]
[Claire shouting] Eleanor!
-[music intensifying]
-[Eleanor screams]
[indistinct whispering]
[Bill grunting in effort]
[panting]
-[Eleanor grunts]
-[Bill] Is this it?
Is this it?
-[Bill shouting] Is this it?
-Bill, stop!
[both grunting]
Ellie? Ellie. Ellie.
-[Eleanor gasps]
-Three, one, four, one.
Come on.
Three, one, four, one.
Three, one.
Four, one.
F-f-f-five.
Five. Five.
-Five. Five.
-No, no. Nine, two.
Nine, two.
[Alex] Yeah.
S-six.
Yes.
Five. Five.
-[ominous music playing]
-Five. Five. Five.
Five, five, five, five.
-No. Help me!
-Five, five, five.
[Bill grunting in effort]
-Five.
-Ellie, Ellie.
-Eight, nine, seven, nine.
-Five, five, five.
[Bill grunting]
-Eight, nine, seven, nine.
-Five, five, five, five.
-Five.
-Ellie.
Come on. [indistinct]
[Bill grunting]
-Seven, two, three.
-Yes, come on, come on.
-Eight, four.
-Come on.
I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay.
-I'm okay. I'm okay.
-[Alex panting]
-[fearsome music playing]
-[Bill grunting]
[chuckling]
-[Bill grunting]
-[shovel scraping]
[Bill grunting in effort]
Oh, my God.
[Bill grunting, panting]
[music intensifies]
[music stops]
[exhales sharply]
[panting]
[somber piano instrumental]
[Eleanor over phone] Are you
still having those dreams?
[Claire] Every night now,
sometimes...
I'm on the wall.
Sometimes I'm...
in the street by the shop.
Sometimes...
I see that
little girl's face in the mud.
But the face is Danny's.
[Eleanor] In the dreams
are you an adult
or does it feel like
you're a child again?
I don't know.
[Eleanor] Well, dreams
aren't really my thing.
I've been listening to
some of your old podcasts,
by the way.
The one about
the [indistinct] was funny.
[Claire scoffs]
[Eleanor] There's
nothing new up, though.
No, I haven't done one
since this all started.
It just hasn't...
felt right. [grunts softly]
-How's your dad?
-[Eleanor] Still mad at Bill.
Are you back staying
at his house again?
[sighs] Yeah.
The media found my flat.
I can't get near it now.
[Eleanor] Have they been
really bad?
One of them pretended
to be a detective.
I almost told him
all kinds of things.
[Eleanor] That's awful.
Well, at least they haven't
found Bill's place yet.
How is he?
He's Bill. It's hard to tell.
When I wake up in the night,
I hear him walking around.
I don't think
he sleeps much anymore.
[piano instrumental continues]
[Eleanor] Well, where is he now?
[Claire] Where he's been
for days.
[Eleanor] So it's true.
[ominous music playing]
He agreed to show the way...
to Danny and the others.
[Claire] Bill believes
he's not going to
lead them to anything.
He's just... playing a game.
-A sick game.
-[Eleanor] He can't.
I mean, they can't let him out
after what we found.
The peat preserved
the body really well.
[sighs] They found some
sort of forensic evidence.
But with another
murdered child connected to him,
there's no way
he's getting out now.
[Eleanor] Do they know
who she is?
I've not been able
to find anything
that they've made public.
She wasn't one of
the known victims.
She was from a different area,
three years before the others.
[Eleanor] Oh, my God.
How long was he doing it?
[Claire] Actually,
there's no way of telling
how many victims
there were, but...
I-- I agree with Bill.
I don't...
think he'll ever
give up what he took.
But...
Danny's still...
still up there.
I thought it might make him...
feel better if we made sure
he wouldn't roam free, but it...
yeah, it-- it doesn't.
So...
[Eleanor] I...
I don't wanna go back up
there again, Claire.
No.
I understand.
[wind whooshing]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Eleanor] Maybe there's...
one thing I can do.
This is... hard to explain.
I have a connection
with a spirit.
I guess you could
call it a guardian.
I have Dad on one side, and...
on the other I have Thomas.
Our bond is what allows me
to do what I do.
He's been with me
for as long as I can remember.
Protecting me from...
the other side.
It can be...
loud.
Confusing.
All those voices,
desperate for attention.
Thomas stops them
from overwhelming me.
Without him I'd be...
totally exposed.
When we want to open that door
Thomas is like the key.
We open it
just enough to glimpse
the other side, but...
then I have to close it.
Thomas is an old spirit.
He can be temperamental.
He particularly
doesn't like being sat on.
[Eleanor chuckles]
He was with me...
the entire time up on the moor.
He's always, always by my side.
But I'm telling you this...
so that you can
try to understand
what I'm about to do.
Thomas doesn't speak to me.
It's more of a feeling.
But he can speak through me.
He may be the only one...
who can explain
what we're dealing with.
It's best
not to look him in the eye.
It agitates him.
Let's all look away. Okay?
[faint buzzing]
[low rumbling music building]
[faint rustling]
[sigh echoing]
[Alex] Thomas?
Thomas can you hear me?
[faint sigh echoing]
[Thomas] Yes.
[Alex] Thomas will you answer
some questions for us?
[Thomas] Yes.
What can you tell us
about the children?
[Thomas] Can't hear.
You can't hear
the children?
[Thomas] Voices.
Many voices.
But not from them.
No voices from them all.
What does that mean?
[Thomas] Silent.
Very silent.
Dark.
[voice distorts]
Very dark. Old. Very old.
[Bill] And what about Danny?
Where's Danny?
[Thomas] In the dark.
In that place.
And does he remember me?
Does he remember his mum?
[Thomas] Dreaming. [indistinct]
-Dreaming.
-[Bill] What does that mean?
If I find him...
if I bring him home
will he be safe then?
[dark, menacing music playing]
[Thomas] Dreaming in the dark.
-[loud thud]
-What does that mean?
[growls in frustration]
[Alex] Enough, Bill.
Where's my son?
[music fades]
[distorted music building]
-[music stops abruptly]
-[Eleanor panting]
Ellie. Ellie.
[Alex whispering] Ellie. One...
-[Alex] One.
-That's where we need to go.
That's where we need to go.
-Bill.
-We need to go out there
and bring Danny back home.
[Alex] Absolutely not.
That's crazy.
-Eleanor.
-[Alex] Bill.
-[Alex] No.
-Bill, calm down.
He needs us.
[door slams shut]
He's losing it.
[Claire] This is--
This is just...
Danny's still out there.
He's alone.
He...
He's not alone, Claire.
[ominous music building]
Bill's right.
And we know he's right.
We helped that little girl
and she's safe now.
We need to help Danny.
[engine revving]
[wind whooshing]
[panting]
Five.
What?
Five circles.
I spoke with those people
working at the dig
we found and...
they told me that every rock
carving on the Moor is unique
but they all have these
five circles in groups of five.
Did they say who put them here?
No.
The Stone Age or...
at least 5,000 years old.
But those archaeologists
thought they were older.
They were hoping
to dig up some evidence of that.
Have you seen
one like this before?
[suspenseful music playing]
-[thunder rumbling]
-[rain pattering]
What time is it?
Still day.
It's not safe
to keep going like this.
[Bill panting]
[indistinct chatter]
Get in.
[all panting]
I can't feel my face.
You okay?
Thomas doesn't like it here.
He's-- [panting]
He's nervous.
He's never been nervous before.
That feeling
we're not wanted here...
is so strong now.
Can't you feel it?
I don't know.
What?
This place just feels familiar.
Like I've been here before.
Anyone hungry?
We've got... [groans]
...granola.
Ah, chocolate.
[Alex laughs]
[tense music playing]
I'm gonna go
check on the others.
Dad, I think I might be wrong.
[Alex] What?
About this place
not wanting her here.
[Bill grunting]
[indistinct]
It's really clear now.
-[Liz] No visibility, though.
-[Bill grunts]
[Liz] We need to see
where we're standing.
[Bill] You think
it'll clear up for us?
Let's give it some time.
[breathing heavily]
I can call in help
if we get stuck.
[indistinct chatter]
[Alex] So anyone know
any good songs?
-More shanties?
-[Liz] Shanties?
What am I, a sailor? [scoffs]
Any old Yorkshire folk songs?
Probably for the best.
Not that you don't have
a beautiful voice, I'm sure.
You'd be surprised, actually.
Bill was a lead in
the Howmore male voice choir
back in the day.
[Alex] Really?
[Liz] Oh, yeah.
You kept that quiet.
Voice like an angel.
I can see that.
Then come on, Bill.
How about it?
I don't do it anymore.
-[Alex] Just one--
-I said I don't do it anymore.
-Call of the nature.
-In twos.
-I'll be fine.
-You need to keep--
[Bill] Really, I'll be fine.
[eerie music playing]
[leaves rustling]
[tense music playing]
[dramatic music playing]
-There's someone there.
-[Liz] Oi, wait!
[Bill panting]
[Bill groaning in effort]
What is his problem?
How does anyone put up with him?
How do you put up with him?
[Bill groaning]
[Bill panting]
-Now, now.
-[Bill groaning in effort]
Right, now! Now, now!
[both groaning]
[both breathing heavily]
Did you see him? He was here.
Where?
That's peat bog.
No one can stand out there.
-I saw him.
-Don't run off like that.
You know it's not safe.
Shit, I can't see the tent.
-Dad.
-[scoffs] Wh-- I know it...
Now I need to go.
Back in a minute.
I'm sorry about that.
Don't worry about it. It's fine.
I'm curious about you and Bill.
[tense music playing]
My mum and dad were--
well, they're nice,
they're just...
were never really there,
you know?
I could get away
with anything, really.
Even after Danny.
We never...
we never really talked about it.
But Bill...
Bill was this old-school
kind of dad, you know?
Strict, but fair.
You knew where your limits were.
And woe betide you
if you tried to pass him.
[somber music playing]
After Danny...
it was like...
well...
there were strange men
in the house the whole time.
They'd ask me questions, but...
mostly they'd be just
talking out of my earshot
in hushed voices.
I convinced myself
it was my fault.
Like I...
fooled my parents, as always,
and the police.
But Bill, he...
he'd know.
-[Bill groans in pain]
-[Liz] Bill, come on.
[both breathing heavily]
I remember the first time
I saw Bill afterwards.
He came in, face like thunder.
He'd been arguing
with the police, I think.
And he marched
straight over to me.
I was so scared.
I was so sure he'd take
one look at me and he'd know.
He'd know it was
all my fault, really.
That...
Danny was gone because of me.
But he hugged me.
And he said, "Are you okay?"
[exhales in relief]
And just like that...
I was like,
"It can't be my fault.
Because if it
had been my fault...
he wouldn't have hugged me
and asked if I was okay,
you know?" [chuckles]
We moved away
straight after that.
My parents just wanted it
all behind us, you know?
Claire, I'm...
I'm worried something wants you.
[suspenseful music playing]
[wind howling]
[gasps]
[Alex speaking indistinctly]
[Claire gasps]
[Claire panting]
You took your time.
-Where are the others?
-He's gone.
He's gone, he's--
he's-- Thomas just--
-he just left me. He's--
-What?
[Eleanor] He screamed
and left me. He--
The door's open
and I-- I can't-- I can't go.
What do I-- [panting]
There's--
there's something here.
There's-- [shudders]
There's something here, Dad.
You need to help me.
Dad, you need to help me.
I can't--
I don't know what to do.
[sobbing]
I don't know what to do.
You need to help me now, Dad.
You need to help me.
You need to help me.
[sobbing] Can you help me?
[Eleanor screaming]
What are you doing?
Why aren't you helping her?
[Eleanor mumbling]
-[Eleanor whimpering]
-What's going on?
[Eleanor panting]
I'm getting some help.
[indistinct].
[Eleanor muttering]
[radio crackling]
Yeah, we've got a medical
emergency [indistinct]--
[woman over radio]
[indistinct] medical support.
What?
[Claire over radio]
You feel it too, don't you?
[Eleanor muttering]
Look, I need someone to--
[Bill over radio]
I don't do that anymore.
I don't understand.
[Claire over radio]
You took your time.
Who is this?
[Liz over radio]
I can call in help
if we get stuck.
[man over radio]
Anyone [indistinct].
[Eleanor panting]
[kids' voices
speaking indistinctly]
[kid sobbing]
[kids screaming]
[Danny shouting] Help. Help.
That's Danny.
That's Danny.
[Eleanor groaning in pain]
[Eleanor choking]
[dramatic music playing]
[Eleanor growling]
[Eleanor wheezing]
[groaning]
[animalistic growling]
[distorted screaming]
Stay near the tent!
Stay near the tent!
[Eleanor screaming]
Eleanor!
[Bill panting]
[both breathing heavily]
-[Bill] How is she?
-She's breathing.
Where's Alex?
[Liz] Stay with her.
[Bill] Alex!
[Claire] Alex!
Alex!
Alex!
[eerie music playing]
Don't run off like that.
-I didn't run off. You ran off.
-What do you mean?
[Alex] I've been shouting
my head off out here for ages.
You [indistinct] the tent.
I've been out here.
But you were there.
I saw you in the tent
after Eleanor--
Eleanor what?
What's happened to Ellie?
We need to get back.
[Liz panting]
They've got no eyes.
[disembodied voices whispering]
[siren wailing in distance]
[siren wailing]
[inaudible]
[music fades]
I'll call ya.
Bill.
I'm done.
Just us now.
[phone ringing]
[Thornley] Hi. Claire, listen.
Tell me you're not on the moor.
[Claire] No, not anymore.
[Thornley] That's good.
Well, then
don't go back up there, okay?
What? Why?
Well, I can't say, really,
but just--
just stay away from the moor.
What's this about?
Come on, you can tell me.
Okay, but this is strictly
off the record, right?
Yesterday, when the police
took him out to search...
they...
well, I don't really
understand it,
but there was something
about the weather.
And...
He got away somehow.
He got away.
[Bill] What?
[phone beeps]
[ominous music playing]
This time we'll find him.
Bill...
We can't go up there again.
Eleanor's in hospital.
And he...
He's out there now.
There's no need
to worry about that.
I'll be ready for him.
[floor creaks]
-[Claire breathing heavily]
-[footsteps departing]
[ragged breathing]
[Claire] It's been a while.
I...
I don't often talk
about myself on here.
There are things
that I get asked about a lot,
but I've never talked
about them.
When really
bad things happen, we...
we want to somehow
make sense of them...
understand them, we need to.
So we can put them in a little
box and tie a bow around it,
put it on a shelf
and leave it there.
That way
it can't hurt us anymore.
Some things are so senseless,
so beyond
what we can understand,
that we can never do that.
We try to dismiss them,
not think about them, but...
That just feels like a...
a betrayal.
So we keep trying.
We keep trying to understand.
Trying to make
the senseless make sense.
And that leaves us
unable to move on.
There's a time to accept
some things
will always be senseless.
So what can we do?
We can talk about them.
[chuckles]
And what I'm saying is...
I think I'm ready
to talk about it now.
[whimsical chime plays]
[textiles rustling]
[Bill] This is all?
-[Claire] Yeah.
-[Bill] Bring it with you.
[Claire breathing heavily]
[objects clattering]
[Claire breathing heavily]
[Claire sobs] Yeah.
-Please.
-Keep moving.
Why are you not talking
to me, Bill?
Please talk to me.
[Claire sobs]
You heard him.
[Bill, indistinct]
[Claire whimpering]
[Claire] I heard some--
Something.
This is the only way
I can get him back.
[Claire breathes heavily]
I can't-- [grunting]
[Bill] Get up.
[Claire sobs]
[Bill] Come on.
[Claire sobs, breathing heavily]
Please, Bill. Please.
Fuck you!
[Claire screams]
-[sheep bleating]
-[Claire gasping]
-[sheep whining]
-Oh, my God.
Bill-- [pants]
-Keep moving.
-[Claire yelps]
I don't understand
why you're doing this.
[Bill] You know, they used
to bring people out here.
[Claire] What? Who?
To the dig.
Told me about the peat bodies
that kept turning up here
over the years.
Dead people.
Preserved in the peat.
Over thousands of years old.
They were sacrificed.
[Claire] Sacrificed?
In the Stone Age,
they used to
bring people out here...
suffocate them...
bury them.
To appease some evil.
-[Claire] Bill...
-[Bill] Don't you understand?
There's something out here.
Something old.
Something terrible.
Something that people
have always been scared of.
And Danny was sacrificed to it.
Only it wasn't meant to be him.
[Claire] Where is
this coming from?
[Bill] You heard it.
-[Bill] The voice in the tent.
-[Claire] You--
You understood that.
You didn't?
It said I needed to do this.
Oh, my God. [Claire sobs]
It was never Danny
it wanted, really.
[Claire sobbing]
-It was you.
-[Claire] Me?
It was always
supposed to be you.
[sobbing] Please, Bill, please.
-Keep moving.
-[Claire screaming] No, please!
Bill! [breathing heavily]
[Bill] Keep going.
We'll be there soon.
[Claire] Where are we going?
[Bill] We need to make it
all the way.
This time you go all the way.
All the way.
I don't understand.
This is it.
[Claire] There's nothing here.
There's nothing here, Bill.
[Bill]
There should be something here!
Why isn't there anything here?
[Claire] Just-- just listen
to me for a moment, okay?
Just listen to me.
He said if I brought you here...
I'd find Danny.
[Claire sobs]
That's what he said.
That's what the voice said.
[Claire] Bill, look around.
Danny's not here.
Think about it.
He-- how could he be here, Bill?
How could Danny be here now?
Oh, I have to get him back.
It promised. The voice promised.
[Claire] Bill, Danny is gone.
He's been gone
for 25 years, Bill.
[Bill sobs]
This-- this place
is making you not yourself.
Think about what you're doing.
Where we-- where we are.
Please, please, just...
[sighs] ...let's just go home.
Let's just go home, Bill.
[wind whooshing]
[Claire sobs]
Please, Bill,
let's just go home.
[Claire sobs]
-[Claire gasps]
-[gunshot bangs]
[Bill] Fuck you! [indistinct]
[ominous music plays]
[Claire breathing heavily]
[peat squelching]
[Claire] Oh, my God, it's alive.
[Claire whimpering]
[Claire sobbing]
[gunshot bangs]
[Claire gasping and sobbing]
[Claire breathing heavily]
[Claire] Bill...
[Bill] I understand now.
[Claire] The moor.
The moor.
[Claire grunting]
[Claire screaming and sobbing]
Bill, help me!
Pl-- please!
Please, please, please, please!
Help me, please!
[Claire sobbing]
Bill, please help!
Help!
