All language subtitles for Beware My Brethren ( the fiend ) - 1972.eng

(Dramatic music)

- Beware of my brethren, the
fruitful place was a wilderness

and all the cities
thereof were broken,

for thus have the lord said,

the whole land shall be desolate,

yet will I not make a full end?

Brethren, think on those words.

Ready yourselves, as this dear
child this night makes ready.

Gathered here on this blessed
night of baptism,

the most holy and merciful Christ

and whose precious blood shed at
calvary will all cleanse.

Let this child into your
wondrous kingdom.

- Jesus saves!

- Hallelujah!

- [Congregation] Hallelujah!

- There to be born again.

- [Congregant] Save us Jesus,
save us!

(Congregation cheering)

- On you, the agony, the
humiliation, the degradation

of a life without Christ.

Love me. - Brethren I
came to Christ.

I bathed in his blood.

- Adore his blood.

- Adore his blood.

(Congregation shouting) And now I
am cleansed of all...

(Congregation shouting)

I am saved.

- [Congregant] Save us Jesus,
save us.

- [Congregation] Hallelujah.

- [Minister] I was damned.

- [Congregant] I was
a sinner lord.

- I perished.

- Jesus help me. - I perished,
yes,

but I am born again.

- [Congregation] Hallelujah.

- I sit at Christ's right hand.

- Hallelujah!

- Dear one another you'll
bear the anguish

of eternal damnation.

- Please Jesus help me
for I am a sinner.

- Without Christ you
are destroyed.

You are dead.

Repent.

- [Congregant] Please help me.

- Choices lord.

Love Christ or be
devoured by hell fire.

Brethren, love your Christ or die.

- [Congregation] Hallelujah.

- [Minister] Now let us sing
to Christ Jesus.

For you're all of you
his children.

And you're all of you to be
obedient to him.

Sing my brethren, for he
is with you now

on this glorious night of baptism.

- Come on, bugger, come on.

- Get him.

You all right?

- Yeah, yeah.

They were trying to break it.

I didn't realize there was
two of 'em at first.

They really go at me with
a screwdriver.

- Think yourself lucky it was
only a screwdriver.

- Yeah, what's that
supposed to mean?

- It could have been murder,
like the one up river.

Third woman in three months.

Strangled by the looks of her.

- Another one?

- Yeah, stripped and dumped
by some barges.

- Barges?

Where?

Up by hammersmith bridge.

Doctor reckoned she was killed
just after midnight.

- Midnight?

I had a patrol up there
just after then.

- Yeah?

Did ya see anything?

- Well of course not.

I woulda reported it
othennise wouldn't I?

- Yeah, he's a flying bastard,
whoever he is,

and sick.

I've been in the
force a few years,

but I've never seen
anything like that.

He's a flying bastard
whoever he is, and sick.

(Light, mysterious music)

(Curtains swishing)

- Who's there?

Who is it?

Darling you startled me.

- You sleep well mother?

- Thank you, yes.

Mother, I want... - Kenny.

A little prayer, Kenny.

A little prayer.

- I'm tired, mother.

- Let's never talk like that,
Kenny.

That's the way your father talked.

You must never talk like that.

(Light violin and organ music)

Dear god, thank you for today.

I have sinned, please
forgive us god.

We have sinned, please
hear our prayer.

(Coughing)

- Thank you. - You're fine sight

first thing in the morning.

God help the man who's daft
enough to marry you.

You smoke too much.

- And drink.

- Will the smoking,
drinking lady journalist

be home for a meal tonight?

Because if so it's

her turn to cook. - It's
my turn to cook.

No, I won't be home tonight.

- You're not going to
scrounge another meal

off of mother are you?

- Well if you're really
that interested

what I'm doing tonight,

I'm interviewing what the police
call a false confessor.

- And what's he falsely
confessing to?

- The murder of two women.

And if he reads the
papers this morning

I should think he'll make it
three just to impress.

- With a bit of luck he might get
to you before cancer does.

(Coughing)

(Light, sad music)

- Kenny, I wish you'd come home.

(Light, sad music)

(Door slamming)

(Light sad music)

(Darker music)

(Food sizzling) (Humming)

- Oh, there we are.

Oh there you are Kenny.

There darling.

I don't think I can eat
anything this morning,

thank you mother.

- Oh that's not like my Kenny.

Has anything upset you darling?

- No.

I'm just not hungry, that's all.

- Oh and I just made you a
fresh pot of tea.

Hurry up, it'll get cold.

(Bells chiming)

Kenny, eat up your breakfast.

That's a good boy.

- I think I'd rather
get some sleep.

- All right, I'll
pour out your tea

and bring it up to your room.

(Horns blaring)

- You're always overdoing
things mother.

I'll have to tell ness the way
you're carrying on.

(Laughing) - Kenny.

- Where is she anyway?

- You're face.

- Oh, it's just a scratch mother.

- The... - I had a spot of bother

last night with a couple
of lay abouts.

- You must be careful Kenny,
please.

- They came at me with a
screwdriver, I think it was.

- Oh and the lint,
where is the lint?

- I told them that...

- [Birdy] Have you seen
the lint Kenny?

- Mother. - Yes.

- I, I met someone last night.

Shh, Kenny.

- I... - Now Kenny,

please don't speak.

- I met someone last night

and I, I... - Kenny don't speak,
please.

- Excuse me. - Yes.

- Excuse me. - Yes.

Does Mrs. Wemys live here?

- Yes, I'm Mrs. Wemys.

Who are you?

- I'm the district nurse.

- Who? - Nurse lynch.

- Lynch?

Lynch?

Where's nurse prentice?

I want nurse prentice.

- She's left, being transferred
to another district.

- Do you love your god, child?

- What?

- What religion are you?

- Well, I... - You do believe,
don't you?

- Yes of course.

- [Birdy] I like nurse prentice.

Nurse prentice was
always punctual.

- [Paddy] I'm not sure of
the district yet.

- I'm just going downstairs for

(door clicking)

That was my son, Kenneth.

I look after Kenny.

When Kenny was a child his father
tried to take him away,

but our brethren stopped him.

Our brethren took the
matter to court.

It was god's will we got
possession of him.

God looks after the righteous.

(Gasping)

Have you got my Insulin nurse?

- Yes of course, mrs wemys.
- Good.

(Door slamming)

- [Woman] Hello dear,

looking for business?

- [Kenny] Yes.

- [Woman] Well don't just
sit there dear.

Do you want a short time or not?

Five pounds for a complete strip.

- [Kenny] Where can we go?

- [Woman] We can go
back to my place.

- [Kenny] How much did you say?

- [Woman] Five pounds
back at my place

or two pounds for a play about in
the back of the truck.

What are you doing?

God help, get away from
me you lunatic.

(Screaming and yelling)

- [Man] On the day of damnation

all who are not of the faith will
perish in hell fire.

You are the true believers then
you shall be saved.

You have given yourselves

and Christ will absolve
you of all sin.

For he knows all and
he is with you.

- [Woman] Please don't.

- [Man] And as long as

you are doing his work,
(Prostitute screaming)

(Screaming drowns out voice)

Which you have to live and which
you fight against.

This is the voice of the leader
saying unto you my brethren,

all over the world look to
Christ for forgiveness.

Pray that you may see the light

and you are able to
carry on his work.

- You know you really
should go out.

The doctor was telling me that...

- I know what the doctor said.

- Why don't you get Kenny to
take you to the park?

- Kenneth, his name is Kenneth.

I never go out.

I've dedicated my life to our
brethren and the crusade.

Bandage nurse, you're tying
it too tightly.

- I'm sorry.

Is that better.

- His father, you see,
and that woman.

I have the brethren to thank that
Kenny's still with me

instead of with his father.

When my sister died she
left me this house.

And I changed it into a chapel.

I gave it to the crusade.

Do I have to tell you again nurse,

you're tying it too tightly.

- And Kenny?

- What about him?

- Does he belong to it, too?

- But of course.

The minister and I have brought
him up between us.

We've protected him.

Oh yes, Kenny, too, has
dedicated his life to god.

My Kenneth works hard.

He's a security guard,
only part time.

The rest of the time he's a
swimming instructor.

(Gasping)

Nurse, you're hurting.

- There you are Mrs. Wemys.

- Why are you looking
at me like that?

- I only said... -
You're thinking...

A mad woman.

Oh praise to god.

Oh dear god.

- I'll try to be on time tomorrow.

- God please forgive me,
I have sinned.

(Sighing)

(Clearing throat)

- Oh, I've changed her bandages

and given her an
Insulin injection.

I'll see myself out.

- [Minister] We demand you make
certain sacrifices.

The use of drugs is
forbidden by the brethren.

No medicine can replace the
healing spirit of the lord.

No doctor, no blood transfusions

can heal like Jesus of nazareth.

You will not visit places
of entertainment

to amuse yourselves
when you should be

carrying out his work.

Yours is the work of the lord.

Seek out those who are
not of our faith,

tell them of the error
of their ways,

and in doing so you will bring to
the fold other converts

and so strengthen the
numbers of the brethren,

for one day the earthly world will
belong to the brethren,

and we will all sit at god's
right hand in his world.

- Kenny, I don't like
the new nurse.

- I'll phone doctor, get him to
send someone else.

- Don't listen to
anything she says.

- Yes, mother.

The merciful and gracious lord

has so done his marvelous works.

Your gold and silver is cankered

and the rust of them shall be a
witness against you,

and to eat your flesh
as it were fire.

- Kenny.

Where were you last night, Kenny?

(Crowd shouting) (Water splashing)

- Yes? - Dress yourself properly.

- I beg your pardon.

- Othennise I shall have to
ask you to leave.

- Ask me to leave?

Who the hell do you think you are?

- I'm the attendant in charge here
so just do as I say,

dress yourself properly.

Decently.

Now be quick about it.

(Crowd shouting)

(Water splashing)

Tell him I want to
distribute some pamphlets.

Yes.

Mother you know I will.

(Gasping)

Yes mother, you know I do.

Goodbye mother.

(Murmuring under breath)

Minister will be so cross.

Dear Kenny.

You naughty boy.

He'll be angry.

(Murmuring under breath)

(Cars whirring)

- Oh, excuse me.

Look, I'm sorry about just now.

- Well let's forget it, shall we?

- Well, anyway, could I give
you a lift somewhere?

- No I don't think so.

Oh look, I said I'm sorry.

Come on.

Oh all right.

(Light music)

(Sighing)

(Light, mysterious music)

(Dark, jarring music)

(Beating on door)

(Dark, mysterious music)

Oh.

Oh, minister.

You're early.

I trust you're well. - I am.

Is it all ready?

- Not quite, minister.

How many this evening?

- Thirty to 40 minister,
god willing.

- Is that all?

God will not easily forgive the
others for their absence.

- No minister.

- Kenneth, where is he?

- Oh he had to go out.

Distributing the pamphlets.

But he set up the tape ready
for the meeting.

- To save the retched
from themselves

we must take the word to them.

Yes minister.

- If they are not to perish,

they must be made to listen
to the word of god.

- Of course, minister.

- Don't stand there woman.

Get the chapel ready.

- Thanks for the lift, bye.

- No please don't go yet.
- — pardon?

- Well I mean I just
want to say sorry.

- Well you've said it.

I must go now, really.

(Organ music)

- Blessed be the lord, brethren
blessed in Christ.

A message from our leader

from the shrine in Arizona.

Take heed for it is the
lord's word you speak.

[Man] Hear your leader in Arizona,

the lord has spoken to me,

and I command you to
listen to his words.

For the lord has said unto me,

I charge you to go forth
and spread the word

among the unbelievers and the
heathens of the world,

and to fight the good fight and
to fight his fight.

So I say unto you, follow the
word of the brethren.

Disobey the word of the brethren

and so shall you all perish.

- Praise be to our leader.

Praise be to our lord.

Do not fail him my brethren.

Do not fail yourselves.

Remember it is Christ's
fight we are fighting.

- Repent ye now for
the end is nigh.

- Prayers for forgiveness.

- He died for us on the cross.

- Twelve hours of nonstop prayer.

(Congregation shouting)

What if you do suffer for him as
he suffered for you?

Why when the dread day of
damnation is on us all

and everything is obliterated from
the face of the earth,

you and you alone will be blessed

by his divine grace.

- Blessed be the name of Jesus.

- No sacrifice is great enough.

- Blessed be the brethren.

- You are chosen.

And you and you alone suffer for
the sins of the world.

- [Congregation] Hallelujah.

- Get down on your knees and pray.

Pray brethren, pray.

(Congregation murmuring)

Fear the lord's rock.

- Christ Jesus save us for
we are sinners.

- [Congregation] Jesus save us.

(Congregation yelling)

- Jesus help us, take us,
we are sin, sin.

- Sing sister, for the love
of our brethren.

Sing my brethren.

J“ we are one when we love

(Rock music)

What the bloody hell are
you doing in here?

I've come to help you, Lucy.

- Help me?

What do you mean help me?

- Jesus wants you Lucy.

He sent me to tell you.

- I'll tell you something.

If you don't get out of here
in 20 seconds flat

I'll call the police.

He sent me to warn you
there's not much time.

- I'll say there's not much time.

You're all I needed, some nutcase
bloody Bible thumper.

You'll perish.

The day of retribution is at hand.

J“ always my dreams are
yours to share

j“ and when you share my dreams

notting hill gate?

- Where notting?

Do me a favor.

- Well it's where you picked
me up from isn't it?

- Listen.

I'm running you back to the
bus stop, that's it.

(Tires screeching)

(Door slamming)

- Bloody hell, what the hell do
you think you're doing?

(Glass crashing) (Screaming)

(Dark music)

Don't arrest me govner.

(Dark music)

You and me, we could go somewhere,

only don't Nick me.

Well, say something then.

(Dark music)

Look here's coupla quid.

Please let me go.

You won't be the first
copper I've been with.

(Dark, intense music)

(Screaming)

(Dark, intense music)
(Muffled screaming)

(Truck clanking)

- [Man] Well, come on, come on,
little more,

right, that's it.

(Door slamming)

(Truck whirring)

(Cement sloshing)

(Intense music)

(Knife scraping)

- Aword with you, Kenny.

- I'm busy now mother,
you can see.

- A friend, have you found
yourself a friend, Kenny?

- You're my only friend, mother,
you know that.

- A girlfriend, Kenny?

- Of course not.

(Light music)

- Do these belong to her?

- No.

Met her, you see,

and...

- Yes, Kenny.

- Well we got talking.

And when she said that she wanted
me to do things to her

I realized that she was a sinner.

But she will be reborn, mother,

pure in soul and spirit,
won't she mother?

- Kenny you must never let
them tempt you.

They'll try and make you have sex.

Like that woman and your father.

They're all the same, Kenny.

They're all the same.

- Yes, but no one
loves them mother.

Not proper love.

And it's like you say mother,
isn't it?

There's only one kind of love.

And that...

- Kenny, you mustn't
upset yourself.

You're doing god's work.

- Am I mother?

- Yes, Kenny.

- Really? - Yes.

Really?

God's work? - Yes.

- Because I don't want
to do anything

to be ashamed of mother.

I don't want the minister
to cast me out.

Don't let him send me away.

- I'll never let him send you
away my darling, never.

You belong to me.

I'll never let him send you away.

I promise you.

(Siren blaring)

- I'm sorry sir, but you
can't park here.

Could you ask your driver to...

- What's your name?

Jim Hudson, sir.

- Jim Hudson?

Do you own a mini minor, gcv358d?

- Yeah. - I wanna talk to you.

- What about?

Do you know of a girl
called Joyce Jones?

- Joyce?

Nope.

- Oh yes you do. Known prostitute?

-Aknown...

- Where'd you pick her up?

Listen, I don't know what... -
Where'd you pick her up?

- Basewater road.

- Where'd you take her?

- The factory estate,
western Avenue.

- What time?

- I don't know what time. - Time,
what time?

-Ab0ut 11, half 11.

Are you married? - Of
course I'm married.

- [Cid inspector] Tell
us all you know.

I don't know anything do I?

- A convicted prostitute.

- What do you mean a convicted...

- Found murdered.

- Found murdered?

Listen, I'm telling you.

You're not pinning anything on me.

I don't know anything
about murder.

- Found on a factory estate
where you took her.

- Now listen, I swear to you.

I swear to you I don't know
anything about it.

(Mysterious music)

It was one of your blokes.

- She's sick, mentally sick,
the pair of them.

They've been brainwashed by
that church of theirs.

You should know, you're
their doctor.

- She has the right to worship
any way she pleases.

I don't like Bible banging
anymore than you do,

but you've got to get it into that
stubborn little head

of yours there's nothing you nor
I can do about it.

- She's terrified. - What of?

- What would happen if they
discovered she takes Insulin?

The brethren forbid it, you know.

- Yes, I do know.

If she decided to stop there'd be
nothing I can do about it.

- I see, what sort of
life is that?

No films, no television, no pets,
can't go out, no medicine.

Don't you know
they're killing her?

Look, I've told the local
health authority

what the situation is,

now that's all I can do.

Legally it's all anyone can do.

They're not breaking any law.

I don't know why I
bother to go there.

- You go because
Kenny's too squeamish

to give her the injections.

I couldn't get in through
the front door.

If I tried to force my way in I'd
be breaking the law.

Okay Paul, you've made your point.

But there must be something
that somebody can do.

- I've already told you.

Oh wow, now for something
completely different.

- It's Paul and Mrs. Wemys.

- Oh that's great.

- I think I'd better go.

Hello paddy and goodbye.

- Goodbye. - See you later.

- I'd better see you out. -
Waste not want not.

- Kenny you're going out.

- It's my night off mother.

But the minister's calling.

- I thought I'd do some
door-to-door work,

some canvassing I thought.

But he'll be angry.

It's the second time, Kenny.

And it's not just the minister
you're letting down.

It's the entire brethren.

And after all they've
done for us both.

Of course, you wouldn't remember.

You were only a child,

but the brethren have fed you and
clothed you, Kenny.

And they taught you to
think decently.

And you've given
them everything.

Isn't that enough for them?

- Kenny, how dare you
speak like that.

Oh if the minister could hear
you speak like that,

he'd cast you out.

In god's name I could do
nothing to prevent it.

Because god, too, would
have cast you out.

- I'm sorry mother.

- You'd be no better than a leper.

- Mother I said

that I'm sorry. -
That nurse woman,

has she been talking to you?

Has she been putting ideas
into your head?

- Of course not.

- You're talking exactly
like your father.

- The minister can
keep you company.

- He was going to hear your
admission, Kenny.

You did promise.

- I've nothing to admit.

- Look at me, Kenny.

Then tell me.

Tell me, Kenny.

- I have nothing to admit.

(Sighing)

- Then he can hear mine instead,
hmm?

(Jazzy music)

There.

- All right mother?

- Very smart, Kenny, very smart.

(Upbeat music)

- What are they? - It's
god's brethren.

- Brethren, what (voice
drowned out by music)

- Jesus saves you.

- What are you, some
sort of bloody

(voice drowned out by music).

- I liked your interview
with the fellow

who goes around confessing to
the murder of women

because he's obviously,

hey, come and listen to this.

Dear paddy, I liked your
interview with the fellow

who goes around confessing to
the murder of women

because he's obviously as
kinky as, wait for it,

a three-pound note.

But it'd be more to the point

if you found yourself a
real murderer.

- Why don't you write about
something that matters.

(Upbeat music)

- This is about the brethren,
madam.

Would you like one of these sir?

I think you'll find it
very interesting.

(Voices drowned out by music)

- Fire and brimstone brigade?

Do me a favor? - Bloody
awful what they're

getting up to.

You're the aspiring busy body, the
so-called reporter.

Why don't you get off that
fat ass of yours

and do something about it?

- Charming and a little
less the fat ass.

- Excuse me madam could I interest
you in one of these?

Thank you very much.

What about you?

- Seriously though paddy,

couldn't you do
something about it?

Couldn't you write an
expose or something?

- I don't know, religion's a bit
uncool these days.

- But this is different.

It's so sick.

Something ought to be done about
those crack religions.

I don't know.

I suppose it won't do any
harm to take a look.

(Knocking on door)

(Upbeat music)

- Is your mother in? - Why?

- Well, I'm from the brethren and
I come here sometimes.

- Oh no I'm sorry, she's out.

- Oh, well I wonder if I could
interest you in our work.

No I'm sorry I'm...

- I've got several pamphlets here

I'm sure you'll find most

interesting reading it. - No I'm
sorry, I'm going...

- It would only take a few

minutes of your time. - No
some other time.

I'm sorry. - If you just.

(Sighing)

- I will hear your admission now.

Kenneth I will talk to later.

Come now, you can't tell me

there is nothing to which
you can admit.

- I'm frightened, minister.

- Your reason to be, we're all
miserable sinners

who go in fear forever for the
wrath of the lord.

- Thoughts, you see,

I keep getting these

thoughts.

Minister, the sort of thought
that I must admit

and I must ask you to help me.

- The nature of these thoughts?

These thoughts.

Come now.

- Dear jesu of calvary,
hear my admission.

I've sinned.

I must be clean.

(Creepy organ music)

When I'm alone, you see.

- At night?

- You see, when I

to sleep

I get foul thoughts
and I'm ashamed

and I turn to Christ to help me,
help me.

- Look at me.

Christ will expunge them.

- I'm sometimes filled with doubt.

- That is the road to damnation.

Dare you spit in Christ's face

as the drunken soldier had
spat at calvary?

Think of his pain.

They crucified him.

Is that not enough for you?

They drove nails into his hands.

(Organ music)

If you are to be saved from
everlasting damnation

you must beg him to hear you.

Down on your knees.

Beg.

Pray.

Beg.

Beg child, beg.

Christ Jesus I confess to
wicked ingratitude.

- I confess my wicked ingratitude.

Sin. - Sin.

- Say your sins aloud.

He needs to hear them.

- I can't.

Please don't make me.

Please don't make me.

Say them.

- Kenny and I.

Say them.

(Mumbling)

I'm afraid for myself and Kenny.

- There you are.

Oh I'm sorry I thought you
were my boyfriend.

- I came to your house, remember?

- So you did.

Are you following me then.

- Oh no, I was just
passing and I saw you.

I'd like to talk to you.

- Well my boyfriend hasn't turned
up so I might as well.

- All right, shall we go then?

I've got my Van outside.

- Drink.

Drink of the calvary cup.

Drink of the vinegar as he drank.

Know something of Christ's
sufferings or be damned forever.

- No minister please don't.

- Know something of his
humiliation at calvary.

To atone you must be degraded as
he himself was degraded.

It was for you he died
and now you sin.

Drink.

For you he knew untold (mumbles)

Drink.

Beastly anguish.

Drink.

Unspeakable treachery.

Drink.

A treachery is yours,
your treachery,

know something of his
hell of calvary.

Drink.

(Dark, jarring music)

(Glass crashing) (Crying)

Hush my child.

(Knocking on door)

- Don't leave me, please
don't leave me.

- What is this place? - This
is where I work.

- The swimming baths?

- Yes, I'm the chief attendant.

- Hey, I've got an idea.
- What's that?

- Let's go for a swim. - What
this time of night?

- Well, you've got a key to
get in haven't you?

- Yes. - Well come on then.

(Door slamming)

(Knocking on door)

Are you the minister?

- Yes. - Good.

My name is Patricia lynch.

I'd like to talk to you.

- Come this way.

This is miss lynch who
needs my help.

You may go to your room.

- How do you do?

I'm... - How do you do?

- So you want help.

- I well...

Sit down.

Is it a man?

- What?

-Aman.

You've suffered at the
hands of a man.

- Well I hope to marry him

and I just found out he's
already married.

- You gave yourself to him,
isuppose.

- I think I may be pregnant.

I'm not sure.

- Now you wish to give
yourself to Christ.

Christ is patient, he
will understand.

You knew of our church?

- I had heard of the brethren.

I've been very desperate tonight.

I've been walking around and

I passed outside and saw the sign,

thought I'd come in.

- Christ has guided your
footsteps child.

Our leader in Arizona makes
great demands upon us

because he knows it is god's will.

If we are to help you, you
must be prepared

to make great sacrifices.

- Yes, what must I do?

- You must live alone and only
go out to worship

or to preach the word
of the brethren.

Above all, you must be obedient,

for it is not I who speak to you,

but Christ Jesus.

- But I've got to get money, I've
got to go out to work.

- Of course, but anyjob must be
approved by the brethren.

No job must be at odds
with the task

Christ Jesus has set us.

Do you accept?

- Yes.

(Organ music)

- Then we will make you ready for
induction and cleansing.

(Dark, mysterious music)

Our sister, Mrs. Wemys,
will officiate

over your initial immersion
and will anoint you.

Put on this garment.

Remember, obedience, child.

(Door slamming)

- Here we go.

- What are you doing?

- A swim of course.

Well come on, don't
just stand there.

I'm not going swimming on my own.

- Come on, you're not shy are you?

Come on.

Well come on, it isn't cold.

(Water splashing)

- What's the matter?

Haven't you made it undennater?

(Light music)

- And he lives in Arizona?

- Our leader

heard a voice.

- Voice?

What sort of voice?

- Telling him that the world
is coming to an end

and the day of
damnation is upon us.

- And our brethren, are they rich?

Are there many of them?

- But you will be safe with us.

We will protect you.

- Yes, but our leader, is
our leader rich?

- Our leader says we
will be saved.

- What are you saying?

- And we,

we will look after you.

Take care of you.

You will be loved.

(Birdy mumbling)

(Distant voice)

(Distant voice)

(Loud, intense music)

(Keys clacking)

- You're up late.

- Waiting up for you.

They're all potty.

I mean really potty.

You know why they let me
in for don't you?

Up to there in a great
tank of water.

Bloody nearly got half drowned.

- I told you but you
wouldn't believe me.

- I do now.

- So what are we gonna do?

- Well I know what I'm gonna do.

Start sniffing 'round.

I can smell a story,

if that minister's got
anything to do with it.

He's a con merchant if
ever I met one.

Anyway, I've started.

How does this grab
you for a title?

Minister cons old ladies
out of savings.

Not bad, is it?

What?

(Light music)

(Laughing)

(Screaming)

(Keys clanking)

- Have you got my Insulin nurse?

(Keys clanking)

(Keys clanking)

(Light, mysterious cello music)

Did the doctor telephone you?

- You know you should get Kenneth

to inject you now and then
so he knows how to.

Suppose I couldn't get
here one day.

What would you do then?

Mrs. Wemys, are you all right?

Has something happened?

Mrs. Wemys?

Kenneth.

- What about him?

What about Kenneth?

Nothing.

Nothing's the matter.

He'll be home soon.

- I think I'll just go
and wash my hands.

Will you be all right there?

I won't be a minute.

(Light music)

- [Woman] You're all I needed!

Some nutcase bloody Bible thumper!

- [Kenneth] You'll perish.

The day of retribution is at hand.

- [Woman] What are you doing?

You're crazy, let me go.

- [Kenneth] We are the brethren,

the true believers. -
[Woman] Please don't.

- [Kenneth] God's only children.

- [Woman] Please don't.

(Light music)

- [Woman] Some nutcase
bloody Bible thumper!

- [Kenneth] You'll perish.

The day of retribution is at hand.

- We've got to get out.

(Music drowns out voice)

Come on will you hurry?

- He's come back, come on paddy.
- Listen to this.

- For god sake, come on.

(Yelling) (Light music)

(Crying)

- Darling.

(Sighing)

(Light music)

Do you love me as I love you?

Kenneth, don't let them get you.

Don't let them take you
away from me.

(Distant voice murmuring)

They got your father, Kenny.

They'll get you.

(Distant voice murmuring)

Stop them Kenny.

Come here Kenny, here.

Keep away from him.

What sort of father do
you call yourself?

Get out.

Leave us alone.

(Crying)

- There now, shall I read to you?

- The keys.

(Curtains clanking)

- I don't want you to have
anything to do with Kenneth.

Do you understand?

But Mrs. Wemys I
hardly ever see him,

why should I?

- Just leave him alone.

(Keys clanking)

(Engine whirring) (Dark music)

- Nurse.

(Dark music)

- Mrs. Wemys, Mrs. Wemys, all
I've ever said to him

is that he should try to give you
the injection himself.

- I won't let you see him.

I won't let you see him,
do you hear?

I won't let you talk to him.

I won't let you have him
the second time.

I won't let you take
him away from me.

- Mother, mother are
you all right?

- She's just a bit upset,
that's all.

I'll give her a sedative.

- What's been going on?

- Go away, leave us
alone together.

- She said that...

- Go, go. - Get out.

(Crying)

- Shhhh. (Crying)

- [Paul] You've got to be
putting me on.

- I'm not putting you on.

Those tapes were genuine.

I heard them.

- Well that is just the point,

if you're so sure go
to the police.

- That is just the point,
we're not that sure

and we don't want to look silly.

- Well the least you could do
is to try and help.

Why don't you go and look?

- I am a doctor, not a detective.

- I'll tell you what you are.

You're a bloody birk.

- Cool down, paddy.

Paul's right.

They won't even let him
inside the front door.

- Well there are other ways,
you know?

- Not within the law, believe me
paddy, I've tried.

The only reason that
bridgette is allowed in

is because of Mrs. Wemys bad leg.

- [Paddy] Well I'll
get those tapes

and I'll prove it to you.

(Dark, mysterious music)
(Door creaking)

(Door creaking)

(Light, dark music)

- I, I didn't mean to hurt you,

not hurt you.

- Come on, don't tell
me you're shy.

- I can't, it's a sin.

You see he, he wouldn't let me.

I'd be cast out.

The minister, he, he...

(Light music)

(Door creaking)

(Car engine whirring)

- [Poolside girl] What
is this place?

- [Kenneth] This is where I work.

- [Poolside girl] The
swimming baths?

- [Kenneth] Yes, I'm the
chief attendant.

_ [poolside girl] Here,
I've got an idea.

- [Kenneth] What's that?

- [Poolside girl] Let's
go for a swim.

- [Kenneth] This time of night?

- [Poolside girl] Well,
you've got a key

to get in haven't you?

- [Kenneth] Yes.

- [Poolside girl] Well,
come on then.

- [Poolside girl] Don't tell me
you live on your own.

- [Kenneth] No, with my mother.

- [Poolside girl] You want to try
living on your own.

- Do you Kenny?

- [Poolside girl] Fella your age.

(Light music)

- Do you want to try living
on your own, Kenny?

- Oh no mother, I couldn't,
not that.

Never.

Not without you.

- Then you mustn't listen to a
word that nurse tells you.

She's wicked.

Kenny, did you, did you,
go for a swim?

- Yes.

- And then?

I baptized her, mother.

- We have a new convert, Kenny.

She's a strange girl.

She calls herself Patricia.

I think I like her very much.

I anointed her, Kenny.

- Good.

No. - Mother?

I anointed her, you see.

And when I,

when she let me touch her.

I anointed her, you see.

But when I,

when she let me touch her,

but I had to you see,
had to touch her.

- Have you told me everything?

- Yes, minister.

- I will pray for you child.

- Please minister, please.

You see, I...

- You know what you
must do to atone.

- Fast?

- For seven days.

She may touch only
bread and water.

- But, you don't understand.

- I understand only
what god wills.

When you think of the
suffering Christ himself

had to endure.

- You're going to kill her.

- Your mother should be
glad to fast.

It is a god sent
opportunity for her

to reaffirm her beliefs.

- My mother. - She's a good
woman at heart.

- She takes Insulin.

If she fasts she'll die.

-Insan?

May god forgive her.

- What are you saying?

Don't you understand?

- She will only die if god wills.

- God's will?

- There's nothing any
of us can do.

- You're not going to kill her.

Mother?

Mother?

- What are you doing?

- I'm going to sit with her.

- I forbid you.

Get from this house.

- Well someone must stay with her.

- You are beyond all redemption.

You have shunned god's word.

You have shunned our
leader's teaching.

Now we must shun you.

Get from this house, go from
this holy place,

and may we never see you again.

You are as dead.

- [Kenneth] But I.

- You are filth and your
filth is contagious.

I forbid you to go near here.

You're as evil as your father.

Now get from this house.

(Door slamming)

(Light, sad music)

(Bed creaking)

(Light, sad music)

You may try to deceive me child,

but you cannot deceive
the almighty.

- What?

What are you saying?

- Kenneth has told me.

Drugs.

Insulin.

Deceit.

- I'm frightened.

You got to help me minister.

- Only god can do that child.

(Organ music)

Sister wemys, in her hour of need,

it would be thy divine
will Christ Jesus.

Let our sister sit on
thy right hand,

let her bask in thy
bountiful mercy.

Though she has sinned she has
shown true contrition

regardless of thought for
her earthly self.

Almighty merciful
father to whom alone

belong the issues of
life and death.

Look down from heaven, we
humbly beseech thee,

the eyes of mercy upon this child

now lying upon the bed of sins.

Amen.

- [Congregation] Amen.

(Light organ music)

- Dear Christ Jesus.

I have sinned.

Dear Christ Jesus,

hear my prayer.

Oh Mrs. Wemys, it's all right.

I've phoned for the doctor,
you'll be all right soon.

- Doctor.

No doctor.

Kenny didn't mean,

he didn't mean to hurt them.

- Thanks, minister.

(Light music)

- They, god took her to place,

Kenny sent them to a better place,

better place.

- What are you doing child?

- You're letting this happen.

- It is god's will.

- You're mad.

You're a murdering bloody lunatic.

I'm gonna get a doctor.

Get out of my way.

- [Birdy] It's forbidden.

I shall not let him
past the door.

If he should try to
force his way in

I will send for the police.

There is not a law in the
land to stop me.

You're killing her.

- Get out.

- Kenny.

Hold my hand.

- God is with you sister,
be not afraid.

The lord is my Shepherd.

- Paul? - [Paul] Yes?

- It's paddy.

I'm at the wemys', you've got
to get over here.

It's Mrs. Wemys.

She's dying.

The minister's letting her die.

- I shall not want.

- I shall not want.

- Please get over here quickly.

_ [Paul] Find those tapes,
anything, I'm on my way.

- He maketh me to lie down
in green pasture.

- Please, get Kenny.

(Light music)

In green pastures,

get Kenny.

(Car engine whirring)

- Come now sister, be not afraid.

Christ is listening, do
not fail him now.

(Drawer items rustling)

He maketh me to lie down in
green pastures.

- Makest me to...

(Drawer items rustling)

(Floor boards creaking)

He ieadeth me.

Come now, he needs to hear you.

Christ Jesus I am truly contrite.

(Car engine whirring)

I walk through the valley of
the shadow of death.

Oh god, my comfort, my Shepherd.

Yes the lord says.

- Mind, out the way.

have stopped you.

He tried.

He didn't succeed, but I will.

Now just mind out the way.

- My child... - Get out of the way.

You killed her.
