[ominous music playing]
[music intensifies]
[music fades]
[Fiona] The records
of the pagan goddesses
were passed down
by the ancient Celts
purely in an oral tradition.
And as such,
much has been lost to time.
[projector remote clicking]
What remains was documented
by early Christian invaders
and altered to align
with the new
male-centric Christian faith.
-[pensive music playing]

[Fiona]
The Morrigan's true history
was essentially eroded
to fit the church's
patriarchal worldview.
So much so that I believe
she may have been
a real historical figure.
Not merely a demon
of myth and legend,
but a real queen.
The monastery site
at Annan Island
may provide evidence of this.
[projector remote clicking]
[Fiona] Local folklore states
that the Morrigan
and her followers
took refuge on Annan
after a brutal battle,
and were subsequently massacred
and buried there.
[projector remote clicks]
Thank you.
[treasurer] So, you think
this, uh, shape-shifting,
animal-controlling...
[scoffs] ...war goddess
was a real Celtic queen?
Obviously, she's been
greatly mythologized over time,
but I believe it's possible.
[treasurer] This is a very
expensive proposal.
Half a world away.
Your experience in the field
is quite limited, Miss Scott.
Dr. Scott.
My apologies. But fact remains,
you really think
you could manage
an excavation, uh, this size?
My field work is limited
due to lack of opportunity,
not ambition.
You'll be away from your family
for quite some time.
My family supports me.
[dean] Do you believe
there could be a reason
these men disposed of
this ancient queen
in such a brutal fashion?
They feared her.
-[dean] Feared what?
-Her return.
She's immortal.
A goddess not just of death,
but of regeneration and rebirth.
-And you don't fear her?
-I'm not superstitious.
What do you think, Dr. Horner?
Whether the Queen Morrigan
element bears fruit or not,
I think we can
at least expect to make
some excellent discoveries
as to Iron Age Ireland
and early Christian development.
We have solid radar
scan information
that suggests there may be
a whole labyrinth
of pre-Christian tunnels
beneath the monastery.
[dean] Perhaps
you could wait outside
for a few moments,
let us discuss.
Dr. Horner, you can stay.
-[indistinct chatter]
-[birds chirping]
-You can come back in now.
-Thank you.
[dean] Congratulations.
We have decided to approve
an excavation of Annan Island.
Dr. Horner will lead
a limited preliminary excavation
to assess the site
for further exploration.
I realize
you may be disappointed,
but given his vast experience
in the field,
we feel this gives us
our best chance for success.
You'll be assisting
and will receive shared credit
due to your prior research
into the site.
And my tenure?
I think we can
safely revisit that
once this excavation
is concluded.
Thank you.
-[birds chirping]
-[indistinct chatter]
Dr. Scott, I passed.
-Thanks so much for reading.
-Oh! That's great.
-Great going.
-Fiona!
Wait.
You stole my expedition.
I did all the work for this.
-You barely even looked at it.
-Read the bloody room.
They weren't gonna
give it to you on your own.
You'll be thanking me
in a year's time.
-[keys rattling]
-[Fiona] Brandon?
Lily?
Hey.
I... I thought your dad
was working from home.
[sobs] He's gone.
This is your fault.
You are so fucking selfish!
[footsteps receding]
[motorboat engine rumbling]
[seagulls squawking]
[mystical music playing]
[waves crashing]
[music intensifies]
One groupie.
[upbeat folk music
playing over stereo]
...first time in my life
and I still live my dreams
So, what happened, baby?
I'm so happy that we met
What happened, baby?
It's so easy to forget
That first kiss of the miss
-[handbrake ratcheting]
-Under that Pennsylvania...
[music stops abruptly]
[car door opening, closing]
[Malachy] Sorry I'm late.
I think we're, uh,
actually a little early.
[Malachy] Lily, is it?
And Fiona.
-Malachy.
-Good to meet you.
Good to meet you too,
finally in person.
-Mm-hmm.
-I'm sorry about the tender,
-but the tide waits for no man.
-Ugh.
Jump in,
I'll run you up to the hotel.
Well, I was actually wondering
if we could go
-straight to the dig?
-Sure. You're the boss.
[car door opening]
[wind whooshing]
[sighs deeply]
No cell signal?
No Wi-Fi either.
We got a bit of TV,
but it's patchy at best.
-[Lily] Great.
-[car door closing]
[trunk door closing]
[inhales, sighs]
-So, you own the whole island?
-Uh. Most of it.
The ruins is trust land
as you know. [exhales]
But they can only access it
with my dock.
[breathes deeply]
I inherited the rest.
It's great, but we could do
with some more visitors.
Finding something up there
would help with that.
So, Lily, got expelled, did you?
Mom! Told him?
It was a misunderstanding.
Well, I've had plenty of those
in my time.
Just let's not have
any misunderstandings
between us
while you're here, eh?
-[chuckles]
-I don't plan on it.
-[chuckles softly]
-Good.
[car engine revving]
[pensive music playing]
[Ruby barking in distance]
[music fades]
-[Lily gasping]
-[Malachy chuckling]
Don't be scared of Ruby.
She's a big softy. Go on then.
[seagulls squawking in distance]
Come, I'll show you the way.
[crow cawing]
Best not to antagonize them.
[chuckles]
-Come on.
-[sighs]
[water trickling softly]
Conor, get a shot.
See if you can get all of it.
-[camera shutter clicks]
-[Conor] Wow.
Well, it looks like
a Sheela-na-gig
from Fiona's book.
It's a weird one though.
Listen, maybe it leads
to another passageway.
-Because usually these--
-No, it's a dead end.
It's a good find,
but let's focus
on the wider chamber.
The other chamber, go.
[ominous music playing]
-[music fades]
-[Malachy pants]
Uh. It's just through here.
Yeah.
-They should be just down there.
-I'll go find them.
[waves crashing]
[Fiona] Jonathan? Hello?
[wind whooshing]
-[mutters] Okay.
-Okay?
[Jonathan] Don't throw it back
in my face this time.
Ah, Fiona, just in time.
[chuckles softly]
Now that all the hard work's
been done.
[Fiona] It looks great, Conor.
Lily, right?
We've heard a lot about you.
All good things, I hope.
-[chuckles]
-[chuckles]
Shall I run them back
to the hotel then?
Yeah, sure.
You two get settled in.
-We'll see you for dinner.
-Oh, I... I'd really rather stay
cause I... I've got all my gear.
You'll be okay?
[pensive music playing]
Whatever.
-[footsteps receding]
-Well, I'll see you later.
[Conor] You all right?
Lots of bugs, I'm afraid.
[Fiona] Yeah, I'm good.
Bugs don't bother me. [pants]
-[groans]
-[rat squeaking]
-[Conor] Oh.
-[Fiona] Oh, fuck! [sighs]
[huffs] Jesus.
Yeah, maybe, uh,
rats do just a little.
[Conor] This way.
There's something I'd like
-to show you. Come on.
-[Fiona grunts]
[Conor grunts, speaks softly]
Okay.
-There it is.
-[pensive music playing]
Do you think
it could be related to the...
[breathes heavily]
To the Morrigan? Possibly.
It's a bit
of a distorted version.
More like a warning.
Not something her followers
would have created.
[Jonathan] Conor's digging
with me in the main chamber.
-[sighs] I'm gonna dig here.
-[breathes deeply]
Knock yourself out.
It's a dead end.
Radar scans prove it.
[pants]
[sighs]
-[sheep bleat]
-[insects trilling]
[crow cawing]
[music fades]
[birds chirping]
[Ruby huffs]
[sighs]
[chuckles] She likes you.
Come on in.
Ruby, go on. Get in your basket.
Right, it's a dining room,
drawing room in there.
That's the reading room.
That's the radio room. [pants]
Still the only form
of communication
on the island, I'm afraid.
If you need to use it,
I'll, uh... I'll show you how.
Your room's just up here.
[sniffs]
[exhales]
[chuckles softly]
It's my wife, Mary.
[breathes deeply]
I had it painted
after she passed away.
After she passed away?
She drowned, accident.
Fell off the cliffs.
[telephone ringing]
Oh! I'm gonna have to take that.
It's a hunting group
I'm dealing with.
I'll be back in a moment.
[telephone continues ringing]
[eerie music playing]
[faint, distorted
animal screeching]
[faint, distorted howling]
-[woman screaming]
-[gasps]
[music fades]
Sorry about that. [pants]
-You all right?
-Yeah. Yeah, sure.
Come on, it's just through here.
[clock ticking]
-[waves crashing]
-[crows cawing]
[ominous music playing]
[Fiona] Conor, can you
come here a minute?
-Can you give me a hand?
-[Conor grunts]
-Go easy with that one.
-[Conor] Yeah, yeah.
-Okay.
-[Conor pants]
-You see anything?
-[Conor exhales]
[distorted howling]
-Did you hear that?
-[Conor] Hear what?
There's something more here.
Let's batten down
for the night, guys.
Our ride will be here in ten.
Let's keep this
between us, okay? [pants]
[insects chittering]
-[crow cawing]
-[music rises, fades]
[puffs]
-[door knocking]
-[Fiona] Lily, dinner's ready.
-Everyone's waiting.
-[sighs]
-[cutlery clinking]
-[munches]
Uh. Is she coming?
-Yeah, yeah, she's coming.
-[footsteps approaching]
[door opening]
[door bangs shut]
Lily, grab a pew.
-[Fiona] Hey.
-Hi.
[chair scraping, creaking]
[fire crackling]
[Jonathan] Uh, Lily, Fiona,
this is Malachy's son, Sean.
-Hi, Sean.
-Hey, Sean.
-Hello.
-[bottle thudding]
[Fiona] Thank you.
Looks like someone's got
a little crush.
-[Conor chuckling]
-[wine pouring]
Oh! Thanks.
[sighs, clears throat]
Not a fan of the food?
-I'm a vegetarian.
-Since when?
Like, four months ago.
[inhales sharply]
[Jonathan] So, Lily,
what do you do?
Are you still studying?
I was expelled.
I thought you all knew.
[sighs] Well, you told Malachy.
-[scoffs]
-I knew.
[Lily] I was kicked out
of boarding school.
That's why I'm here.
Why Mom was delayed.
What actually happened though?
The details were--
I was caught
with alcohol at a party.
-That's it?
-Yeah.
Well, I had this thing
with my teacher. Junior teacher.
Didn't go down well.
School's not for me
anyway though.
I'd rather go to, like,
art college
-or something like that.
-[scoffs, breathes deeply]
What is so special
about your job anyways, huh?
Digging up old pottery?
[Fiona] We're uncovering
hidden histories.
It's possible
the Morrigan's followers
fled to this island.
Because the factual
historical story of these men
building a life out of the sheer
rock faces isn't enough?
[chuckles]
Well, we can investigate both.
[Jonathan sighs] I just...
I wouldn't get your hopes up.
I mean, field work and history
is a little different
from folklore
and textbook theory.
[wine pouring]
[Fiona] He's doing us such
a favor letting you be here.
-He's--
-An asshole,
who takes credit
for all your work.
It's not that simple.
I'm so close to full tenure.
If this goes well, I get it.
We're back next year
with a full excavation
-that I will lead.
-You really believe that?
Just stay away from him, okay?
-Promise.
-All right, fine.
-Promise. G'night.
-[Fiona] Hey, hey, what's this?
-Who paid for those?
-[Lily] You did, I guess.
[Fiona] It would've been
nice of you to ask, you know.
Your dad's not been
paying for anything.
Call it an early
Christmas present.
-[Fiona sighs]
-Bye.
-[unsettling music playing]
-[breathes heavily]
[music builds]
[car engine rumbling]
[sighs]
[birds chirping]
[music fades]
Yeah.
If you stick to the right trail,
you can't go wrong.
Just watch out for snakes.
I thought
there were no snakes in Ireland.
Tell that to the one who bit me.
St. Patrick forget
about you guys?
Maybe he got drunk
and forgot. [chuckles]
[chuckles]
Well, um,
I'll be careful anyway.
[reflective music playing]
[birds chirping]
[waves crashing]
[grunts, exhales]
Something more here. [grunts]
[Conor pants] What is it?
What do you see?
[Fiona] There's something
more here,
but I... I can't fit
any more struts.
All right, come back.
I'm taking over.
[Fiona] I'm nearly there.
[Jonathan]
I said come back, Fiona.
Come back right now.
I'm warning you.
[sighs, pants]
[grunts, pants]
[Conor]
Watch out for the struts!
-[Fiona] It's collapsing.
-[Jonathan] Fiona!
-[Fiona groans]
-[Conor] Jesus.
-Fiona! Are you okay?
-[Fiona groaning]
-I'm okay.
-[Conor] Fiona!
[Jonathan] Okay, wait, wait.
Stay there.
[Fiona] My arm's cut pretty bad.
Fiona stay there.
We'll dig you out, okay?
Just stay there.
-[debris clattering]
-[pants]
There's another chamber
back here.
I'm going in. [grunts]
[wind howling softly]
[Fiona] There's a casket
back here.
[pants]
-[leaves rustling]
-[insects chittering]
[car engine rumbling]
[upbeat country song
playing over radio]
[casket rattles]
When are we gonna open it?
-We are gonna open it.
-No.
Sending it to Dublin.
We'll open it there
in conjunction
with the Irish authorities.
Well, it could help us focus
the rest of the dig.
-I need to be there.
-I'll be there. Okay?
[static, distorted chatter
over radio]
Fucking radio.
-[crow caws]
-[intense music playing]
-[screams]
-[tires screech]
[both breathe heavily]
Jesus.
[Jonathan] Eh,
these fucking crows.
-[windshield wipers squeak]
-[inhales sharply, chuckles]
[Jonathan speaks softly]
Let's get out of here.
[car engine rumbling]
[eerie music playing]
-[thunder rumbling]
-[rain pattering]
[crows cawing]
[water trickling]
-[faucet turns]
-[water stops trickling]
[music fades]
[groans]
Well, that's definitely
gonna need stitches.
Now, either I can do them,
or we can go to a hospital
on the mainland.
Oh, God, no, not the mainland.
Go ahead, do your worst.
[chuckles]
Well, I'll try not to.
[zipper hissing]
-You're well prepared.
-Me? Oh, no, no.
My wife was a doctor.
She liked to be well-stocked
in case of emergencies.
-[Fiona] You had a few out here?
-Uh. Yeah, a few.
We had a young girl
almost die of insulin overdose
about five years ago.
Went into anaphylactic shock.
Mary picked up on it quickly,
got some sugar into her.
-Saved her life.
-She was lucky.
Hmm. Yeah, out here
things can definitely
turn nasty pretty quick.
[sighs]
Aye, you better brace yourself.
-I'm not great at this.
-[chuckles]
[inhales sharply,
exhales heavily]
[groans]
So, you've had a tough day
at the office?
Yeah, every day's pretty tough.
[chuckles, breathes deeply]
[Malachy] Have you found
anything interesting up there?
-We found a burial casket today.
-[Malachy] Hmm?
At least it looks like one.
Well, better be careful.
You know what they say
about mummies. [chuckles softly]
[Fiona] We're not really sure
what it is yet.
You know, sometimes
if you're alone up there...
-you can feel a presence.
-[exhales]
-Hear a shrieking call.
-[ominous music playing]
And restless spirits,
crying out.
Really?
No. [chuckles]
But a good ghost story goes down
well with the tourists.
-[chuckles]
-[chuckles, inhales]
Yeah, my wife believed
in all that hocus-pocus.
Not me.
She died?
I'm sorry.
Three years ago.
Ah, she's in a better place now.
[breathes deeply]
[chuckles softly]
Do you think Uncle Francis
would like to hear
about what they found?
[soft music playing over stereo]
Uncle Francis isn't your uncle.
He's my uncle.
And he's not welcome here.
It's just that he always said
about the ruins--
I thought I made myself clear.
[fire crackling]
Hey, you want to see
something cool?
[lights buzzing]
[Fiona]
It's a burial casket, we think.
Won't know for sure
until we open it.
Why not open it now?
Oh, needs to be
in the right environment.
[scoffs] And you'll be there
for that, or just Jonathan?
Lily, don't start.
[sighs]
You know, I always thought
you'd get into archaeology.
You showed a real interest
when you were younger.
[Jonathan]
Fiona, where's the logbook
and the SAT phone?
[Fiona] Conor says
the SAT phone's busted.
Uh. You can use the radio.
-[Jonathan] Find me the logbook.
-[sighs] Give me a minute.
-[footsteps receding]
-[door opening]
[door closing]
[eerie music playing]
[gasps]
[music fades]
[door creaking open]
-[Fiona] You okay?
-[door closing]
Yeah, I just...
Doesn't matter.
So, what do you think?
It's pretty cool, huh?
You know,
if you need help on the dig,
I'm really not doing anything,
so I could help.
I... I don't... I don't think
that's a great idea.
I'd rather you keep
your distance from Jonathan.
Why? Well, what do you think's
gonna happen?
[sighs] He's my boss,
and it's just you're...
you're in enough trouble
as it is.
Just when I think
you're being okay.
It took a lot of convincing
to get you over here.
A little appreciation
wouldn't go amiss.
Appreciation?
For shipping me off
to boarding school?
Your dad left.
I did what I had to do.
Yeah, no wonder he left.
All you care about is this crap.
He didn't just leave me, Lily.
-[scoffs, sobs] I hate you!
-Lily. Lily, wait, wait.
-[glasses clinking]
-Lily. Lily, come back.
Malachy'll have
dinner ready soon.
[Lily] I don't want any dinner!
[soft music playing over stereo]
[sighs]
Never a dull moment.
[footsteps receding]
[door closing]
[gulps, breathes deeply]
-[bird hooting]
-[leaves rustling]
[dance music playing
in distance]
[music rises]
[gulps]
-[Jonathan] Excuse me.
-[Lily] Mm.
[Jonathan]
Didn't mean to interrupt.
No, no, it's... it's...
it's fine.
-I just wanted to check in.
-[volume lowers]
You seemed a bit upset earlier.
Your mum,
I'm sure she means well,
but she can be tough.
[scoffs] Yeah, no kidding.
[breathes deeply] Uh...
You want one?
[chuckles] Well, I'm sure
one wouldn't hurt.
[Lily] Sorry,
I don't have any mixer.
-[breathes deeply]
-Slinte.
-[gulps]
-Slinte.
[exhales]
You know,
there's really no reason
why you can't enjoy this place.
[Lily] Hmm.
If there's anything you need
while you're here, just ask.
[chuckles nervously] Thanks.
[kisses]
You're very beautiful,
you know that.
-[bed creaks]
-[breathes shakily]
[Jonathan]
Everything's gonna be fine.
See you tomorrow.
[gulps]
[reporter over TV]
It'll sweep across the country
over the next few days.
Strong gusts of wind
and potential thunderstorms
may lead to localized flooding
in certain areas.
Residents are advised
to take caution while traveling
and to stay indoors if possible.
Keep updated with--

[Fiona] Wake up.
-[curtains rustle]
-[Fiona] You opened the casket?
-It was a dream?
-A dream? A fucking dream?
Whatever this is,
it isn't working.
You can't stay here.
Have you got nothing to say?
Nothing?
Okay, I'm gonna take this stuff.
And you can get it back
when you've had some time
to think about what you've done.

Jesus.
[tense music playing]
I'm sorry.
[door creaking open]
[Jonathan]
I've spoken to the dean.
Obviously, any chances you had
for tenure are now shot to bits.
This is a great find.
[Jonathan] And that's why
you weren't fired on the spot.
Well, the best I can offer,
a few more years assisting,
and then we can talk.
-[Ruby barking in distance]
-I've spent years assisting you.
You promised me
this was the last time.
-[wind whooshing]
-[leaves rustling]
-I covered for you.
-Covered for me? How?
-[sobs] You know what you did.
-I've had enough of this.
Do you even wanna work
with me, Fiona?
Because you don't have to.
Come on, let's pack up the dig
for the storm.
[breathes deeply]
-[door knocking]
-[Sean] Lily?
Hey, I...
I brought you some food.
It's vegetarian, so...
[Lily] I'm in here.
Are you okay?
[laughs hysterically]
I feel good.
[Sean exhales]
-I, uh... I better just go.
-[laughs]

-[Fiona] Thank you, Sean.
-Um. Did you get Lily some food?
-[munches]
Yes, but, um,
I don't know if she ate it.
She was... [breathes deeply]
She was acting quite strangely,
so I just left it.
-[thunder rumbling]
-[rain pattering]
[slurps, gulps]
[knocking on door]
-Lily, have you eaten yet?
-[breathes shakily]
[thunder rumbling]
[Fiona] There's dinner
downstairs in the oven.
[breathes shakily]
You should really eat something.

[operator over radio]
Hello, operator.
Hello, um,
could you put me through
to Clifden Parochial House,
please?
-[operator] One moment.
-Thanks.
-[radio static chirping]
-[telephone ringing]
Hello.
Uncle Francis.
It's, um... It's Sean, here.
[Francis over radio]
Sean, does your father know
-you're talking to me?
-No, just please listen to me.
There's a girl.
[ominous music playing]
[Sean] She's my friend,
and I like her, but...
I think there's something
very, very wrong with her.
I'm worried about her,
and I don't know what to do.
Worried about her the same way
you were worried
about your mother before...
before she, uh...
I don't know.
Would you come and see her?
Sean, it's late.
-Your father was very clear--
-[electricity zaps]
[thunder rumbling]
Uncle Francis?
Hello?
Sean, can you hear me?
[sighs]
[mumbles]
[Malachy] Sean,
the generator house is flooded.
-Go get some sandbags.
-Dad?
I think there might be
something wrong with Lily.
Sure there is.
She's an alcoholic
who sleeps with her teachers.
And God knows what else.
Don't tell me
you fancy this girl.
You stay away from her.
She's bad news.
Now, go and get those sandbags.
Go on.
[Lily breathes heavily, screams]

Where's Lily?
You're in her room.

You...
tell me where she is. Help me.
What happened, Jonathan?

Jesus Christ.
Fiona.
Hey, Fiona, you all right?
Hey, get her out of here.
[breathes heavily]
[speaks shakily] What happened?
[breathes heavily]
Give me that.
What happened? Where...
[thunder rumbling]
Where's Lily?
-[gun cocks]
-You stay down here with them.

-[Conor] Come on. It's stuck.
-[Sean grunts]
-[Conor] Come on! Malachy?
-[Sean grunting] Dad!
-[Conor] Are you okay?
-[Sean] Dad, can you hear me?
-Dad!
-[Conor grunting]
[Morrigan as Lily growls]
[suspenseful music playing]
What's happening?
What's going on?
-[Conor] The door's wedged.
-[Fiona] Malachy?
-We'll get you out.
-[Conor] Ah! Come on.
Hello!
-[Fiona] Malachy!
-[Malachy] No!
Uncle Francis. [pants]
What happened?
-[Morrigan as Lily growls]
-[groans]
[Sean] Dad?
Dad, Uncle Francis is here.
[Francis] There's something
up there doing that to him.
All of you...
stay here.
-[Sean] Okay.
-Right.
[groans]
-[Fiona] I'm Fiona.
-I know who you are.
-[Sean pants, grunts]
-[groans, chokes]
[tense eerie music playing]
[Francis] The cross of Christ
must compel you.
[groans]
[growls]
-[grunts, pants]

[Francis] I've got her.
She's here. Help Malachy!
[breathes raggedly]
-[Conor grunting]
-[Fiona grunts, pants]
-Come on.
-[groans]
Dad, are you all right?
Are you okay? What happened?
-[groans]
-Jesus Christ.
I saw...
I saw...
I don't know what I saw.
[Francis] The girl!
She's here with me!
[grunts]
Lily! Lily!
[Francis] We need
to keep her covered.
Whatever she was doing,
she was doing through her eyes.
You're not saying Lily did this?
[pants] Not her...
but something in her.
What did you dig up
at the ruins?
A burial casket.
Skeletal remains
of a woman inside.
Just a skeleton. Lily... Lily
couldn't have done this.
There was, uh... there was...
there was this
inscribed on the wall
leading to the casket.
It's a petroglyph.
It was inscribed on it.
[hesitates]
I can't believe I'm saying this,
but I... I saw something.
A vision.
[music fades]
I saw something as well.
[Francis] And you let them
dig up there.
Why not?
What are you doing here anyway?
You know you're not welcome
in this house.
He saved your life, Dad.
So... [pants]
...you were looking
for the Morrigan.
And your daughter
opened the casket.
There's no
supernatural Morrigan.
And... and she
doesn't possess women.
-That's not in her playbook.
-Oh.
And you would know her playbook,
would you?
What exactly is the Morrigan?
A pagan goddess.
I thought a real queen,
that restores her power
through killing,
violence, and war.
And that's what
you've just dug up.
I'll have to radio the mainland.
Speak to Bishop.
-Maybe he'll be able to--
-[Malachy] There is no radio.
Maybe you haven't noticed,
but the power's out.
Generator's flooded.
The next ferry
isn't till Sunday.
Your greed
brought you to this, Malachy.
Not me.
Just tell me how to kill it.
That's all I need to know.
If you're right,
we can't kill it.
But there may be a way
to get it out of Lily.
I... I'm not that kind of
priest.
She's been in hibernation
for centuries.
She must be weak by now.
There has to be something
you can do
to get it out of Lily.
I've seen it done once before.
I could try.
[breathes shakily] Do whatever
you can, Father, please.
Hmm.
-[thunder rumbling]
-[grunts]
[water trickling]
This is my fault.
I pushed her away.
No. No.
She was taken for a reason.
Evil only enters
when it's invited.
-I don't believe that.
-[water trickling]
[suspenseful music playing]
By this holy water
and your precious blood,
wash away all sins, dear Lord.
What should we do, Father?
Recite the Lord's Prayer,
if you remember.
[all] Our Father
who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses...
As we forgive those
who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
...as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil...
[Morrigan as Lily gasping,
screaming]
[sobs]
-Please--
-Don't engage with her!
[Morrigan as Lily screaming]
[Fiona] What's happening?
What's happening?
[Francis] She's summoning
her powers!
Hold her!
-[Morrigan as Lily screaming]
-[Francis] It's working!
Hold her!
Fuck this!
[Fiona] Conor, stay.
Please stay here.
Don't go. Come back.
Conor, come back!
Come back!
-Submerge her!
-[Morrigan as Lily growling]
Submerge her completely!
[Fiona] No! No! She'll drown!
She'll drown! Stop it!
Stop it! She's gonna drown!
[pants]
[gasps]
Huh?
[Fiona] Stop it! She'll drown!
-Father, she'll drown!
-We have to make her body
as hostile
an environment as possible!
Don't! Don't do that!
She'll drown!
Stop it! Stop it!
Sean! Sean! Sean!
[sobs] Father, do something!
Do something!
A few moments!
That's all we need!
-We have to do it!
-Sean!
Sean! Sean! Stop it!
-The water!
-Sean! Sean!
Look at the water!
It's evaporating off her!
She's burning!
She's burning! She's burning!
Get her out! Get her out!
[grunts]
Get her out!
She's burning! We have to stop!
Get her out! Help me get her!
[grunts]

[Fiona cries, pants]
Lily!
[cries] Lily!
[breathes heavily]

[floorboards thudding]

[Conor screaming]
[Malachy] It's Conor.
She must be downstairs.
Help me clear this shite!
Help!
Come on!
[music concludes]
-[gasps, cries]
-Jesus Christ.
[Malachy] Where's it going?
We have no idea,
and that's the truth.
Well, I'm not just waiting
here to die.
You knocked her out before.
We can do it again.
We can use tranquilizers
or something.
Take her off the island.
Surely, the church can help.
The church?
A million fucks.
Are you seeing this shit?
Father, say something please.
The Morrigan
is an immortal being.
Can't be killed.
But perhaps we can kill
the human host.
Once the female vessel is gone,
it's unlikely to take
human form for many years.
That's good enough for me.
That female vessel
is my daughter.
We have to assume
that everything we have been
told about her is true.
She strengthens
with every kill she makes!
If she gets off this island,
the chaos she can wrought.
-They stopped her once before.
-No.
They buried her alive.
There is nothing, nothing
we can do for your daughter.
No.
It's time to finish the work
of those monks
who rose years ago.
I won't let you.
I won't let you do it.
-You stay away from my daughter.
-[gun clanking]
[breathes shakily] Malachy, no.
[sobs] No.
You stay away from her, Malachy.
You stay away!
You stay away from her!
-[groans]
-[grunts] Get off me, boy!
Malachy, please.
Please don't do this.
Please help. Help Lily.
Your daughter was a lost cause
long before you came here.
[grunts]
[tense music playing]
-[rain pattering]
-[thunder rumbling]
You remember how to use a rifle?
As I can remember,
I was always a better shot
than you or your father.
Yeah, well,
that was a long time ago.
Just don't shoot either of us.
Here.
If you get close enough,
use this.
You won't have time to hesitate.
Come on, let's go.
Go on, get the scent, girl.
[Ruby whimpers]
[grunts]
Malachy, damn you!
[exhales]
[grunts, breathes heavily]
[grunts]
Oh, fuck it.
[music concludes]
[breathes heavily]
-[indistinct screeching]
-[droning]
[ominous music playing]
[Malachy] Stay within sight.
Call out if you see her.
[Francis] Malachy.
For what it's worth,
I'm sorry
about what happened with Mary.
I was trying to save her soul.
But it was never my intent--
To slander her
from beyond the grave?
To say that she...
should never have done that.
Never.
As I say...
I'm sorry.

[Fiona grunts, coughs]

Dad!
Dad, no! Jesus!
-[Francis] No, boy!
-Jesus!
-Dad!
-[Francis] No! Don't!
-It's too late! He's gone!

I'm sorry, boy! I really am!

Come on! Go!

I found her. She's over here.
I'll try to outflank her.
If she spots me, shoot.
Don't hesitate.
What about Lily?

This is God's work, Sean.
He will forgive us
for what has to be done today.

It's okay. It's okay, Sean.

-Quiet. Quiet. Quiet.
She's evil. She's evil.
Fiona, you have to stop her.
-[shushes] It's okay. It's okay.
-[breathes heavily]
-[Fiona] It's okay.
-What are you gonna do?
I'm gonna overdose her
with insulin.
Send her
into anaphylactic shock.
-It'll be like she's dying.
-[Sean breathes heavily]
Should be enough to force
the Morrigan out of her.
Give me the rifle.
I'll distract her long enough
for you to get close.
But you have to be quick.
Give it to me.
-Give it to me.
-Okay.
[breathes heavily]
I have to tell you something.
She did something to me.
She did.
It can wait.
[pants, coughs]
[breathes raggedly]
[eerie wails echoing]
[eerie music playing]
[breathes shakily]
I'm sorry.
-No!
-[growls]
You can't let her leave
the island.
She's evil.
She's...
I prayed to the Lord,
and he answered me.
He freed me of all my fears.

She's dying.
You can't live in her.
Lily, you there?
-Here. Take this.

Take this sugar.
That's right. Bite it. Bite it.
-You need it. You need it.

[Fiona] Now, don't...
don't look me in the eyes.

-Yes.
[breathes heavily]
-Mom.
-[Fiona] You're okay.
-Mom.
-You've got to get out of here.
-What?
-You're going to take this.
What are you doing?
The entrance of the tunnel
is a red strut.
-[whimpers]
-[Fiona] You need to...
-No.
-...collapse it
-and seal her down here.
-[sobs] I can't.
Mom. I can't...
Mom, I can't lose you, please.
[sobs] No, she's in me now.
Be brave, okay?
It's the only way.
-I love you. [sobs]
