- We're looking for Ashdale. - Oi!

Do that again, you'll need a bandage of your own.

Keep your knickers on, love.

We can't just sit around. We're getting the ferry.

But there is room in the car if you change your mind.

Hello there, young man.

We're looking for a girl that comes in here.

She sends letters and packages to Ireland.

I think I know the very one.

We're looking for someone.

I'm Fangoria Fangirl.

I found this.

Christ.

Hello?

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Detectives are keen to speak to three teenagers from Ireland

who were seen in the area.

I...

It were...

Kate Bannon.

She-she gave ‘em to me in school

I-I didn't even w-w-w-want them.

I...

I were, I were-I were gonna give them back.

This is the word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

Now...

I'd like to invite the chair of the commemoration committee,

my dear sister, Ethel Greaves,

to say a few words about plans

for this year's centenary ceremony.

This year we will commemorate 300 years

since the people of this parish sacrificed themselves

to rid a plague from this land.

As we approach this milestone,

we must pause to ask ourselves why.

Why do we gather to remember?

Well, it's because the plague never really goes away.

It only changes form.

Today,

we deal with a new kind of a virus,

infecting our children,

turning them towards depravity and sin.

I'm speaking about the scourge of sadism...

Violence...

And fornication.

Being spread through the medium of video.

Now I have...

obtained...

some of these tapes.

You may find some too.

Bring them to be burned,

to say to God and country

that we will deny them a place in our society.

We, as a community, must do whatever it takes.

Big or small,

whatever it takes.

- Here, here! - Well said!

Whatever it takes.

That were smashing, Mum.

Ashdale is awake.

The rest of the country needs the alarm bell.

Police in Chesterfield are continuing to investigate

the murder of a teenage girl near Ashdale.

Detectives earlier admitted they're exploring

a possible link to Video Nasties,

amid rumours that the murder bore a resemblance to...

We need to stop for petrol soon.

Ach, stop. There's loads left.

And what happens when it gets dark and we're stuck in the middle of nowhere?

Relax Maureen, will ya? I've never ran out of petrol in my life.

I'm sure everyone knows the red line's a sham anyway.

Oh, so they just stuck it in there for no reason?

Look, I'm not stopping, alright? I just wanna get there.

Okay, why are we fighting?

This isn't even about petrol, is it?

Oh no, listen Abe, this isn't about the kids.

It's a simple matter of miles to the gallon, that's all it is.

Who said anything about the kids?

I'm talking about you two, the constant arguing.

Why don't you just talk to each other?

Oh, back off!

Talk? About what?

If you can't talk about something, you can't deal with it.

Excuse me, I don't want relationship advice from you, thank you very much.

Yeah.

Do I need to point out the obvious?

Eileen left you.

Yeah, well go and ask her about that.

Nothing to do with me.

Ha, is that what you think?

That she just ran off with some other man on a whim?

She always thought you were so cold towards her.

She didn't know if you loved her

or if you just thought she was an idiot.

I just pray to God you're not the same way with Billy.

She left us.

Left him.

People will say anything to justify themselves.

- Frank? - Wha'?

Frank, have you missed the...

you've missed the turn!

Jesus, you're such a gobshite.

She wakes.

Welcome back to the land of the living.

Might be a short stay.

Told you.

Told you there was room.

Now we can get to know each other.

Fully.

No! Stop!

Excuse me, I'm trying to have a conversation here.

You're gonna get what's coming to you.

Aaargh! Help!

Help! Help!

Uh...

Help! Help!

- Get, get off! - Uh...

Fuck off! No!

No, no!

Aargh! Aargh!

No!

No! I said no!

- No! - Put her back.

Put her back.

I told you to guard the door.

This?

No.

We are guardians of God's will.

The Devil waits for us.

Do not be tempted.

They're not to be harmed in any way.

When they die, they die clean.

No injuries, no evidence,

nothing that points to anyone else.

Keep your distance.

Guard the door.

Pray and repent.

And get the drill, just in case.

Don't worry, I have no intention of making you suffer.

When the time is right and the world is baying for blood, you'll go quickly,

at each other's hands.

And everyone will know you killed that girl.

And those videos made you do it.

Please.

We just wanna go home.

We all want to go home!

To our Lord and Saviour.

Think of this as your calling.

It is a noble thing to lay down one's life.

You're here to give yourselves for our souls.

For arseholes?

No, for our...

No! For our souls! Our souls!

You see?

Warped little minds.

You're too far gone.

But you'll save others.

Now...

Rest up.

Say your prayers.

You're about to be famous.

What's going on?

Oh...

You're some specimen, do you know that?

You see that?

That's contempt.

Classic sign of marital problems

Fuck off, Abe! Seriously!

With pleasure.

- I knew that... - Don't!

- I don't wanna hear it, Maureen. - I was gonna...

- No! No, Maureen. - I was gonna say one thing.

I saw the news in the house.

There was a girl killed in the woods last night.

Right by the lake.

I told you it wasn't nothing.

And she was the postmistress.

They're some fucked up family.

They've landed us here

and they're gonna put us on the hook for everything.

The police think we did it.

I don't...

Why us?

Because you were the perfect mark, Billy!

Some weirdo who's obsessed with Video Nasties.

What are we gonna do?

- What's the plan? - I don't... I don't know.

I don't have anything.

Con, what are you doing?

The pen knife...

I think I can get it.

Hurry up then.

Ah...

Hurry!

I've got it!

I've got it.

Hide it, hide it!

You after doing something funny?

What?

‘Cause I am...

dying to do a bit of DIY.

We need some water.

Hey!

She said we're not to be harmed.

We're gonna die of thirst in here.

If you help me, I can help you.

Yeah.

All you have to do is go and get us some water.

And I can help... you.

No one has to know.

No.

No, no, no, no, no!

Nooo! No!

You're on the Devil's business.

And I don't deal with the Devil.

You stay away from me.

Come on, Con.

I can't pick it up.

Well, slide it over here then!

Come on.

Hi, hello.

Sorry, I know it's late.

I ran out of petrol.

It sounds like you have a generator back here.

If you could give me enough just to get into Ashdale,

I'd be very grateful.

I'm looking for my son, he's missing.

He travelled from Ireland.

He's in some trouble but he's a good boy.

He didn't do anything wrong.

I think... maybe I did.

- Stay here. - Yes.

Don't go walk-walkabouts.

No.

Get rid of him.

Quickly.

Oh!

Oh!

Quick, quickly! Shh!

Be quiet.

We're gonna wait by the door, okay?

Someone will come in eventually.

We push them out of the way and we make a run for it.

We use this if we have to.

Yeah?

No.

Not me.

I-I got us into this mess, alright? I...

I don't know.

It's alright.

It's not your fault.

Do you hear me?

Everything that's happened...

It's not your fault, okay?

I trusted that freak.

This is on me.

Kings will be your guardians, and they will bow down to you with their...

bow down...

Kings will be your guardians, and they will bow down to you

with their faces to the earth.

And you will know I am the Lord.

Those who hopefully wait for me will not...

S...sorry.

Er, er... where's the fuel?

It's not in the cabinet.

What?

One of their parents is looking for them.

They came... broke down, came to the door looking for petrol.

I...my Mum, Mum wants me to get...

It's at t'generator.

Go, now.

Kings will be your guardians and they will bow down to you

with their faces to the earth and you will know...

Seriously?

Billy!

What?

What, I'm bursting! Do you want me to piss myself?

What am I doing with the knife? I'm absolutely shitting myself here.

Aah...

What are you doing?!

Apaches.

- What? - Apaches!

Remember that scary ass PSA film

where the kid dies in, um, in a...

a slurry pit?

- Yeah, so? - So...

This used to be an animal shed, right?

There must've been a pit under here.

- The cow shit has to get out somehow. - Exactly.

They pipe it through these big channels.

That's the way out.

The way out?

Come on!

Thank you.

God bless you.

Whoo! That was lucky.

What are the odds of finding someone up at this hour?

Er, well...

Er, insomnia's a killer.

You are funny.

Yeah, you-you'd best be on your way.

Er...

Uh!

Who's going first?

I'll do it.

We don't know how deep it is.

How are we gonna get down?

Where the fuck is he?

This is your mess.

Fine, aye. Take his side.

Well, at least he's willing to man up and sort it out.

What's with the big Abe crush all of a sudden?

You hated him two hours ago.

Yeah, well, maybe he's talking some sense.

Maybe we're in denial.

About what?

I dunno, about everything. About us, about the kids.

About the fact that we don't speak anymore,

about the fact that we don't have...

Jesus Christ! Just drop it.

If you can't talk about something, then you can't deal with it.

Ha, what?

Now you're quoting him?

What, he's fuckin' Oscar Wilde now, is he?

Why don't you just go and shag him and be done with it?

Huh...

At least one of us would be getting some.

You're the one who can't...

What?

- Nothing. - No, go on, say it.

Oh nothing, nothing.

- You know what I'm talking about though. - Mm.

That's because you lie there like a corpse.

Sorry, Maureen, but...

necrophilia's never been my thing.

Fine.

Go ahead and blame me for your problems,

because you're soft, Frank.

- You're just soft... - I slept with someone else.

No complaints there, I can tell you.

It's not me who's got the problem.

Excuse me.

It doesn't look like a slurry pit.

It smells like one.

Oh, God.

What if there's no way out?

Billy!

Uh! Uh!

Con!

Uh!

- Ah! - Uh!

Fucking hell!

Ah, Con!

Oh, God!

Oh, my...

What are we doing here? No, no, no.

Hey, hey, hey! Look at me, look at me.

It's gonna be okay, alright? It's gonna be okay.

Uh!

Oh! Oh! Oh, oh, oh!

Uh...

Hey!

- Uh! - Ah!

- Uh! - Uh!

Ooh!

Con, do something!

Aargh!

Aargh!

Aargh!

Go! Go!

Aah!

Uh! Uh!

Uh! Uh!

Uh!

Uh...

Uh...

- Go, go, go! - Whoa...

Aargh! Aargh!

Stay down, alright?

- Uh, uh! - Just stay down!

You let them get away?

N...n...

Ah!

Wait! Wait!

- What? - We need to go back!

What?

- The tape! - Are you mental?

Forget it, Billy, just keep running!

- Come on! - Come on!

Dad?
