[Rosie] Adam, I'm going to look for Grace.
She's not next door.
[rain pitters gently]
[vehicle approaches]
[ominous music plays]
[car door opens]
Grace!
Grace! Where have you been?
It's okay. She's okay.
I found her playing
outside the Phillipses'.
You can't keep running off like this.
Look, no one needs
to get into any trouble, do they?
[Rosie] Thank you for bringing her home.
It's been a tough day for everybody.
I'm so glad we chatted earlier.
Me too.
Come on, Grace.
Sit down. I'll do your shoes.
[sentimental music plays]
You need to get to bed. It's late.
Come on, chickpea.
Upstairs.
[car approaches]

[menacing music plays]
[gasps]
[groans]
[sighs]
[sighs heavily]
Is that better?
Have you got a plan, son?
You can't keep me tied up forever.
You don't want to be doing this.
Sin upon sin.
There's good in you.
Find the light.
I'm gonna need you to be quiet, all right?
Otherwise, where does this end?

[Rosie] Adam.
[desolate music plays]
What happened?
I ju-- I cut myself…
cleaning up.
I'm fine.
You did really well today at the funeral.
Isaac would have been really proud.

Don't they know…? ♪
[dramatic music plays]
Shit.
-[Mason] What's going on?
-Get me my phone, will you?
Why? What happened?
Get me my fucking phone, now!
Okay.
Shit.
[door closes]
Thank you.
She won't eat. She won't speak.
She's barely said a word
since she's woken up.
[Adam] Grace? Are you sick?
She's not hot.
Adam, I don't know what's wrong with her.
[telephone rings]
-[handset clatters]
-[phone beeps]
-Hello.
-[Sam] Adam, I'm at the Phillipses'.
Bit of a situation here. [chuckles]
Yeah, I need your help.
[Adam] Okay. Understood.
[tense music plays]
-[phone beeps]
-[handset clatters gently]
Mr. Phillips is out.
He's broken his confinement.
He needs to atone!
-Do you think she needs a doctor?
-No, I don't think she needs a doctor.
I think she needs to do as she's told!
Sit down, Grace!
-[slaps table]
-Sit down and eat your breakfast.
I need to go.
I need to meet Sam.
[bowl shatters]
How dare you be so willful?!
[music intensifies]
[keys jingle]
[lock clicks]
Get back!
This is not what you want
to be doing, Mr. Phillips.
Is it?
Come on.
-Give me the gun.
-No.
-Come on, just-- just put it down.
-No!
Come on.
We don't need this to be
any more difficult, do we?
[gun cocks]
Give me the gun.
[Sam whimpers]
It wasn't me. Adam, it wasn't me.
I wasn't driving. It was Sam!
-Adam, please, I didn't kill your brother.
-You don't talk about Isaac.
-I don-- I didn't!
-You murdered him.
-Get him out of here, will you?
-Please! Please, in the name of God!
It was Sam! It was Sam, it was him!
The devil walks among us!
-It was him!
-I'll pray for you.
[uneasy music plays]
[Mr. Phillips] No! It was him!
It was Sam! It was Sam!
[thunder rumbles]
[Rosie] Chickpea?
I brought you some biscuits.
They're here if you get hungry.
[dreamy music plays]
I love you.
[footsteps recede]
Now she won't even come out her bedroom.
Well, she's only six, sweetheart.
She's been through a lot. We all have.
[Rosie] Adam shouldn't
have shouted at her.
-Well, you know men.
-No.
That's just an excuse. She was upset.
I-I don't know what's wrong with him.
It's like he's…
We all have times in our lives,
Rosie, where it gets too much.
Eh? It's a test. That's all it is.
I don't know, Mum.
I don't know if this place
is good for me, for Grace.
You pray… and God'll show you the way.
You're stronger
than you think, sweetheart.
And Grace?
[wistful music plays]
You pray.
[car doors open]
[car door closes]
[engine starts]
[birds squawk]
[thunder rumbles ominously]
[thunder crashes]
Grace, what's the matter?
Is it the funeral?
Are you upset about Uncle Isaac?
Grace, you know you can tell me anything.
Sam told me it was a game.
But it wasn't.
-They were fighting.
-Who?
Who was fighting?
[tense ethereal music plays]
[softly] Sam and Mr. Phillips.
What?
Why were they fighting?
[shushes]
Someone told you not to say anything?
What did you see?
What did Sam say?
I don't think you were supposed
to see what you just saw.
Make sure you don't tell anyone.
Not even your mummy.
Otherwise, I'm gonna have
to hurt you, Grace.
[door opens and closes]
[Sam] Well, you shouldn't have
any more trouble from him now.
Grace.
Stay with Teddy and don't leave this room.
[swirling ominous music plays]
[Adam] How do you find everything so easy?
[Sam] Find what?
[Adam] Mr. Phillips, taking charge…
[Sam] Well, it's simple for me.
This place,
the Fellowship and the rules,
make sense, you know?
But I could see
why you would struggle with it.
Your nature.
Maybe it just doesn't work
for you here anymore.
Maybe it's time
to think of a different life…
outside.
No, I-- I couldn't. I-- I can't.
It's the unchosen.
Oh. Hey, Rosie.
Would anyone like a tea?
No, thank you.
[Sam] Aye, a tea'd be grand, thanks.
What, did youse hear?
Uh, Mrs. Phillips…
walked out.
Left her husband.
[kettle roiling]
No, I didn't.
[Sam] People…
are a mystery, huh?
Especially the ones you think you know.
I'm gonna check on Grace.
[disquieting music plays]
[door closes]
[water running]
I want to thank you
for letting me in your house.
[Rosie's breath trembles]
I know it's been difficult.
Rosie?
[faucet squeaks]
What-- What's the matter?
Nothing.
Just… not here.
[thunder rumbles]
Don't tell me
you're scared of storms. [chuckles]
It's just God moving his furniture.
When you pulled away,
I thought I'd lost you.
[Sam's breath catches]
Ah, I couldn't fucking bear it.
I need to go.
Grace, she's been upset.
About what?
Isaac, her uncle.
[sighs softly] Yeah.
I'll see you tonight.
At the meeting.
I'd like that.
I can't do it, Rosie.
I can't live without you.
[thunder rumbles]
[lock clicks]
[sighs]
[breathing heavily]
[serene music plays and fades]
[Adam] "…servants of Saul."
"Face-to-face,
as a man speaks to his friend."
"And he would return to the camp…"
Adam, Grace told me
something you need to know.
She saw Mr. Phillips
and Sam fighting last night.
Mr. Phillips said that Sam killed Isaac.
He's a drunk. And a killer.
Of course he would say that.
Adam, it's true.
That doesn't make sense.
Why would Sam want to kill Isaac?
Because that's who he is, what he does.
He murdered a girl
in Ireland when he was 16.
That's why he was in prison.
Then he killed her cousin.
Isaac must have found out.
That's why he came round.
To warn us?
And I sent him away?
But you think that's why Sam killed him?
He didn't want us to know.
He didn't want me to know.
[thunder rumbles]
Why you?
I slept with Sam.
[tender music plays]
We were…
together.
Did he make you?
No.
I wanted to.
I was the one that went to him.
I started it.
[thunder rumbles]
I know it's wrong.
I know it's a sin. I--
We are married, Rosie!
Are we?
You love Grace. I know you do.
You love the idea of a wife.
But when we sleep together
and you don't even look at me…
It's not… [sighs]
I'm not what you had with him.
-[thunder rumbles]
-[electricity crackles]
[Grace] Mummy!
I'm coming.
[Adam sniffles]
Adam, please.
Please, I'm not telling you this
to hurt you, I'm not.
I just need you to understand all of it.
And even if you can't,
the only thing that matters is Grace.
She's terrified.
She knows what Sam's done.
And he threatened her.
Our daughter.
Adam, he said that he'd hurt her.
[suspenseful music plays]
[alarm beeping rapidly]
-What's that?
-Smoke alarm.
The power's out. Phone's dead too.
And what if he comes back?
We need to get away.
Now, take Grace. Get her somewhere safe.
Thank you.
Grace? You need to be quick.
-We have to go.
-[Adam] I'll drive you to Norwich.
My father's cousin, Martin,
he's the Elder there.
Rosie, what are you doing?
[softly] We're not going to Norwich.
Why not?
You can take us to the station.
I don't understand.
I'm leaving.
And I'm taking Grace.
We're leaving the Fellowship.
[bittersweet music plays]
Rosie?
No.
No. No, you can't. You can't.
-We're meant to be a family.
-Yeah, but we can fix this.
This place, it takes all the good
and the love and turns--
-You can't take Grace from me.
-…into damage and control.
We can fix this. I-I-I--
I know the marriage… I know Sam…
But you can't.
You were…
You were planning on leaving me anyway?
With him?
Not at first.
Just me, Grace.
[Adam sighs softly]
Why?
[Adam exhales heavily]
[gasps]
You hurt me.
Humiliated me.
You looked at me like you hated me.
[Adam gasps]
[sighs softly]
I don't hate you.
[whimpers softly]
I…
I hate…
You deserve better than me.
You deserve a better husband.
[tender music plays]
Where will you go?
But you have a plan?
I can… still see her?
Or just visit Grace?
Or just write to her, maybe.
That's up to you.
You'll tell her about me?
If she asked, just…
just tell her how much I love her.
[breathes shakily]
'Cause that part is true.
Is Daddy coming?
[luggage thuds gently]
It's just you.
You and Mummy.

[ominous music plays]
-Adam.
-I know.
-Turn around.
-I can't.
Grace, give me your hearing aid.
Grace, hearing aid now!
Bloody Armageddon out here.
Where youse off to?
Hospital. Audiology.
Grace has broken her hearing aid.
Have you any tools in the back?
No.
A chainsaw, I reckon we can move
that thing, just the two of us.
We haven't got anything. Sam.
-Take Grace and run.

-Rosie!
-Mummy. Mummy.
-Shh.
Rosie!
[Grace whimpers]
[tense ethereal music plays]
Grace!
Oh, Grace,
you must be so cold, sweetheart!
I'm sorry if I scared you.
-[Rosie, softly] Go, go, go.
-[Grace grunts]
[Rosie and Grace grunt]
Watch your head.
Come on, Grace.
-Mummy, please.
-Grace, come on.
Grace, look at me.
We need to get to Daddy's office.
Get the keys to one of the vans.
Chickpea, please.
-[Sam] Rosie!
-[gasps]
Okay. Okay, come on.
Come on, you hide in here.
You stay there. You hear me?
You stay there,
and you don't come out until I come back.
I'm sorry.
[sentimental music plays]
I'll be two minutes.
[suspenseful music plays]
[footsteps approach]
Don't.
Don't run.
Grace told me about Isaac.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I didn't have a choice.
He was gonna tell you…
everything.
I couldn't have that.
So you killed him?
Rosie, please. Please,
don't look at me like that, okay?
Don't.
-You-- You threatened Grace.
-No, no, no, I never would do that.
-You said you'd hurt her.
-What? Hurt Grace?
No, I would never hurt her.
I would never hurt any child.
Come on, Rosie, you have to believe me.
They're just fucking words!
I just said it.
Like you said you'd keep me safe!
That I never had to be frightened of you.
[thunder rumbles]
-'Cause I am.
-You're not frightened of me. Come on.
I'm frightened.
Love you--
I love you, Rosie.
[disquieting music plays]
Rosie?
[whimpers and sniffles]
[groans] And I don't know what to do.
It's not my fault, okay?
How can you say that?
Because there's something
wrong with me, Rosie.
I'm fucking wired wrong.
I get this-- this noise in my head,
and I can't control it, and…
Rosie, come on! I just want to talk!
[dramatic music plays]
Rosie!
[exclaims] No, Sam! Sam, leave me!
[grunts and exclaims]
Sam, please! No, please.
No, please, please!
Please, I promise.
What? What do you promise?
I promise I won't leave you.
No.
No, you're lying.
Uh, you're a liar, Rosie.
You're just like the rest
of them, aren't you?
Like my ma.
Like Aisling.
No, you-- you lie
and you fucking leave me.
[sobs]
You lie and you fucking leave me.
[sobs] You lie and you fucking leave me!
[Sam wails]
[screams]
[Sam wails]
[dreamy music plays]
[Sam] "Repent." What does that mean?
[Rosie] It means to be sorry.
Truly sorry for what you've done.
And it means you want to change.
[high-pitched ringing plays and swells]
[Rosie gasps]
[coughs]
[Sam groans]
[Rosie continues coughing]
[both breathing heavily]
I'm going to get Grace now.
And you're going to stay there.
[droning music plays]
You said you loved me,
so let us leave.
[music turns sweeping and hopeful]
[music turns ominous and fades]
[Adam] Don't move.
Thou shalt not kill.
Come on, even I know that one.
Just put the gun down, Adam,
and call the police on me.
Go on.
[solemn music plays]
[gasps softly]
[gasps]
[whimpers]
All I had to do was manipulate you, Adam.
'Cause that's who you are.
