0:00:02 > 0:00:03This programme contains some scenes
0:00:03 > 0:00:05which some viewers may find upsetting
0:00:05 > 0:00:09- This day was always going to come. Now the world will change, you'll see.- We can make it work, can't we?
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Well, if we could convince the railway
0:00:11 > 0:00:13to bring a branch line across our land...
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Then that is what we shall do.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19Just don't expect everyone to welcome these changes with open arms.
0:00:19 > 0:00:20Do you believe in ghosts?
0:00:20 > 0:00:22HE SCOFFS
0:00:22 > 0:00:23We've been down here five minutes
0:00:23 > 0:00:26and you've gone back to being a psychologist.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33- 'Daddy!'- Gabriel.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34'Daddy, where are you, Daddy?'
0:00:34 > 0:00:38- GWEN:- I used to hear a little boy's laughter in the house.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Then one day, no more laughter.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26Do you remember you drew something on the wall in my house?
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Like a figure with a book in her hand.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Um... Something like this.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36I don't think so.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Could you have seen an image like this before? In my house?
0:01:39 > 0:01:41On my desk?
0:01:41 > 0:01:44I'm sorry, Mr Appleby, it doesn't mean anything to me.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- It's all right.- Let me show you out.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Thank you, Harriet.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59DISTANT EXPLOSION
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Sorry, Mrs Appleby, I didn't know you were here.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16Thank you, Gwen.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33SHE CLEARS HER THROAT
0:02:48 > 0:02:52BOY SHOUTS PLAYFULLY
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Charlie!
0:03:03 > 0:03:04Mr Appleby.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- Shouldn't you be working in the fields?- Yes, sir, just on my way now.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12DISTANT EXPLOSION
0:03:14 > 0:03:20Or...would you rather come and watch the surveyors blow things up?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- Now, I'm no expert, Gideon... - That's right, ma'am.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30These look to me like stones.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Yes, ma'am. Because the field hasn't been cleared yet.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Well, why hasn't it been cleared?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38That was John's job, to tell us what to do and when to do it.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42EXPLOSION
0:03:44 > 0:03:47It's just the surveyors at Brockley Combe. Pay it no mind.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Why do they have to blow great holes in the valley, ma'am?
0:03:49 > 0:03:51They're surveying the land
0:03:51 > 0:03:54to see whether it's capable of taking a viaduct over the valley.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55A viaduct?!
0:03:55 > 0:03:58They're here because Mr Appleby petitioned for them to be here,
0:03:58 > 0:04:00so we will make them welcome.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05If we could get a railway port near here,
0:04:05 > 0:04:07we could churn our butter in the afternoon,
0:04:07 > 0:04:10and it would be on the breakfast tables of Bristol and London by the next morning.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12- Imagine that! - THEY GIGGLE
0:04:12 > 0:04:15EXPLOSION
0:04:18 > 0:04:20'It's looking quite promising.'
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Definitely Keuper marls. We just need it to be of significant depth.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Appleby. Look at these!
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Neolithic flints.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Hmm?
0:04:33 > 0:04:39The last human to touch these has been dead for 7,000 years.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40THEY CHUCKLE
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Mr Appleby?
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Charlie, you can do the honours. Go on.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Push it down, lad, nice and firm.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04HE GASPS

0:05:53 > 0:05:58# And Christ receive thy soul. #
0:06:09 > 0:06:12LAUGHTER
0:06:13 > 0:06:15I remember when old Mrs Appleby
0:06:15 > 0:06:17grubbed out the Tremlett Bitter orchards
0:06:17 > 0:06:18and replaced 'em with Dabinett.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20You were in here every night,
0:06:20 > 0:06:23moaning your head off about the evils of progress.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26There's nothing wrong with Tremletts.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Who wants a train, anyways?
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Nasty, noisy buggers, they is. I expect...
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Shhh, the engineers will hear you.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34You know what, the engineers...
0:06:37 > 0:06:41No good will come of this, you mark my words.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42It's like talking to a wall.
0:06:43 > 0:06:48I was just saying, like my dear old granfer used to say to me...
0:06:50 > 0:06:54..what lies beneath should be left beneath.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18SHE HUMS QUIETLY TO HERSELF
0:07:33 > 0:07:35I failed to conceive again.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41We will get there, I promise you.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46I thought coming down here, away from London,
0:07:46 > 0:07:47all the peace and quiet...
0:07:47 > 0:07:50We know there's no medical reason. We just have to be patient.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53I know.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56It's just...
0:07:57 > 0:08:00I want your baby, Nathan Appleby.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15I want your baby.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36Bed, girls.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Do we have to?
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Goodnight, Charlie. We all will be safe under your protection.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Charlie, bed!
0:09:00 > 0:09:02All safe, Mother.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25DOG WHINES
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Shhh, boy, it's just the wind.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35DOG WHINES
0:09:35 > 0:09:36What is it?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38CHILDREN LAUGH
0:09:38 > 0:09:40It's just children playing.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43At this time of night?
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- GHOSTLY VOICES:- David...

0:10:36 > 0:10:39Benjamin... Ebenezer...
0:10:49 > 0:10:52VOICES CONTINUE WHISPERING
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Charlie? What are you doing?
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Considering your experience as a farm manager,
0:11:21 > 0:11:24where do you stand on the new-model traction engines, Mr Woolford?
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- I'd never buy one, I know that. - Why would that be?
0:11:28 > 0:11:33I'd let some other fool take all the risk and rent one when I needed it.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38But the "other fool" may become a very rich man
0:11:38 > 0:11:40and you will be forever under obligation to him.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44I saw your shiny new traction on the way in, ma'am.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46Broken, is it?
0:11:49 > 0:11:52You do seem to move around a lot. Why would that be?
0:11:52 > 0:11:54I've come a long way, ma'am.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58I think it only fair I get to speak to the master.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59Except he's not here, is he?
0:11:59 > 0:12:04But I am here, Mr Woolford, and I appear to be a sentient being.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08How's that weather looking, Gideon?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Set fair, sir, set fair.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12It doesn't bother me
0:12:12 > 0:12:14that they'd rather speak to an insect than a woman,
0:12:14 > 0:12:16but what does bother me is that their views on agriculture
0:12:16 > 0:12:19haven't changed since the Romans moved on.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27THEY LAUGH
0:12:28 > 0:12:30We'll find someone.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06Charlie? What's the matter?
0:13:06 > 0:13:07Nothing.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Don't you dare speak to Mr Appleby like that! He asked you a question.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14It's all right, Agnes. Was there somebody there?
0:13:15 > 0:13:17No, sir.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19- 'Twas the Red Boys. - Shut up! You shut up!
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Charlie?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Tell me about these boys.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35Are they like imaginary friends?
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Only children have friends like that.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44They came for me.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46In the night.
0:13:48 > 0:13:49What did they want?
0:13:49 > 0:13:51For me to go with them.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Go where?
0:13:55 > 0:13:56Don't know.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- Do you know what a nightmare is, Charlie?- A dream that goes bad?
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Mm-hm.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08They were real, sir.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11No matter how real they seem, Charlie,
0:14:11 > 0:14:13they are just pictures in your head.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Pictures cannot harm you.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26- What do I do if they come again? - Let them come.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30We are men and they are pictures. Let them come.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36GENTLE HUMMING
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Gwen, it's you.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45What are you doing?
0:14:45 > 0:14:49- Just a little something, ma'am. - A little something of what?
0:14:49 > 0:14:52For you and Mr Appleby, to help you get with child.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57I have been pushed and prodded
0:14:57 > 0:14:59by some of the most expensive doctors in London.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02I don't think some boiled grass is going to make much difference.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04This works, ma'am.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08What's in it?
0:15:08 > 0:15:12Some cabbage leaves, mandrake, marjoram,
0:15:12 > 0:15:13er...thyme, parsley,
0:15:13 > 0:15:17the root of worm fern and the, er... Oh...
0:15:17 > 0:15:18What?
0:15:18 > 0:15:19It's the tail of a slowworm.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21- What's that for?- Added potency.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24And the raspberries, what are they for?
0:15:24 > 0:15:27To take away the taste of the slowworm.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32THEY LAUGH
0:15:32 > 0:15:36I believe an early night is called for, Mr Appleby.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37What's that? Wine?
0:15:37 > 0:15:40It's...like wine, yes.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Come on.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Nathan!
0:15:57 > 0:16:01- David...- Harrington...
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- Abraham...- Henry...
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Benjamin... Ebenezer...
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Pictures in me head.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18- David...- Harrington...
0:16:18 > 0:16:20- Abraham...- Henry...
0:16:20 > 0:16:21Benjamin... Ebenezer...
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Charlie... Charlie...
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Come and play, Charlie.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Come with us.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40We could do it.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43We could actually do it.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- "Why are you so excited, beloved wife?"- Sorry.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52Strawberries.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Arable crops are susceptible
0:16:56 > 0:16:59to the vicissitudes of the weather, yes?
0:16:59 > 0:17:03And turning this place into a dairy farm would decimate the community.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- That will never happen, Charlotte... - But...strawberries.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09If we got our branch line,
0:17:09 > 0:17:13we could access markets we've never even dreamed of,
0:17:13 > 0:17:17build huge glasshouses, be in control of the growing process.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19If it comes.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21It will come.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23I know it will.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24DOG WHINES
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Where are you going?
0:17:32 > 0:17:34To take the dog out.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Go to sleep.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Come on, Toby.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21Mr Appleby, thank God! Is Charlie with you?
0:18:23 > 0:18:25- No. No, of course not. - He's gone missing, sir!
0:18:31 > 0:18:32Charlie?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38CHILDREN LAUGH
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Charlie! Is that you?
0:18:40 > 0:18:42CHILDREN LAUGH AND CHATTER

0:18:54 > 0:18:56CHILDREN LAUGHING AND PLAYING
0:19:01 > 0:19:02Charlie!
0:19:02 > 0:19:05CHARLIE LAUGHS
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- HAPPILY:- No! No, you didn't get me! - Charlie!
0:19:29 > 0:19:32- GHOSTLY VOICE:- Stay with us, Charlie.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51Agnes!
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Charlie!
0:19:58 > 0:19:59Thank you.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03What the hell you been playing at, boy?
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- Take this, Charlie. It'll help you sleep.- Charlie!
0:20:10 > 0:20:11Out. Come on.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13That's it. Good.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19That's it.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Now, what was happening in the woods?
0:20:23 > 0:20:25None of your business.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28I thought we were friends.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30I'm not to talk to you no more.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37- Now, why's that? - Cos you're a bastard.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40- That is enough! - You're all bastards and liars!
0:20:56 > 0:20:59You must forgive him, Mr Appleby. He's not a bad boy.
0:21:00 > 0:21:05Has he spoken to you about anything recently? Anything unusual?
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Agnes.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- He's been worried, sir, I won't lie to you.- What about?
0:21:15 > 0:21:20The changes. Your mother dying, and traction engines, and John...
0:21:22 > 0:21:24He's worried what will come of us. We all are.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42- What are you doing?- Just looking for something for Charlie.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46- I have had the most brilliant idea. - I know, you've told me. Strawberries.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48No, even more brilliant than that.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50I know they're here somewhere.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53I am talking about the future of Shepzoy
0:21:53 > 0:21:55and you're rummaging through a cupboard.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Yes.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- Yes, what? - Yes, I think it's a brilliant idea.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02What is?
0:22:02 > 0:22:03You being our new farm manager.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Do you really think I could do it?
0:22:07 > 0:22:08I think you'd be the best thing
0:22:08 > 0:22:10that's ever happened to this old place.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40How are you feeling?
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Not so good, your mother says.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Am I still a bastard and a liar?
0:22:47 > 0:22:50You said they were pictures in my head.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55- Yes, I did.- That was a lie.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58I've brought you something.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04I was clearing out the cupboard and I found these.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12We must have fought the Battle of Balaclava at least a hundred times.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Gabriel and I.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17And these little soldiers never once let us down.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Last night in the woods, were you playing with the boys?
0:23:28 > 0:23:29How many boys were there?
0:23:37 > 0:23:42So here's you, standing in the clearing.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Where are the other boys?
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Did they surround you, like this?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12David.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13Abraham.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Harrington.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Benjamin.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Your mother says you're afraid of leaving this farm.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31I give you my word, Charlie.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33For as long as I'm here, that will never happen.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40- I don't belong here. - Who said you don't belong here?
0:25:10 > 0:25:12I wanted to gather you together this morning
0:25:12 > 0:25:14with some exciting news.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Well, I'm excited, and I very much hope you will be.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Oh, they will be, ma'am, don't you worry about that.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22From this moment on...
0:25:24 > 0:25:25..I am going to be the farm manager.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Well, that is marvellous news, ma'am.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Now, I am not that experienced,
0:25:38 > 0:25:41as many of you know and have kindly pointed out.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44But I am willing to learn.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48And I will learn, I give you my word on that.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51I will be the first one at work in the morning
0:25:51 > 0:25:52and the last one here at night.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Well, that's all I wanted to say, I think.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01There's a lot of preparation to do before the harvest.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10That went well, ma'am.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13ANIMATED CHATTER
0:26:13 > 0:26:17What did I say, friends? We're all off to hell in a handcart.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Is there any reason why Charlie would feel like an outsider here?
0:26:28 > 0:26:29Outsider?
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Yes, in the village or in your family.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36No, sir. Why would you even say such a thing?
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Agnes. Agnes...
0:26:41 > 0:26:46If you want me to help Charlie, we can have no secrets.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Charlie?
0:27:00 > 0:27:02I had a sister, sir.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Ruth. Yes, I remember Ruth.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Life was not kind to her and she became...
0:27:11 > 0:27:15She fell into low company and died, worn out with disease.
0:27:30 > 0:27:35A lock of her hair, sir, given to me the day before she died.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38You see the different hair threaded through?
0:27:42 > 0:27:44A baby's hair.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46Charlie's?
0:27:46 > 0:27:49He were not a year old when his mother died.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51I took him as my own.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57- Does he know?- I'm to give him this letter when I do see fit.
0:27:57 > 0:27:58It tells him everything.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07I have loved him as my own.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12Fiercer than my own, if anything, cos I did know where he came from.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20What good would it do him to know that he was not mine,
0:28:20 > 0:28:23me, who loves him more than life itself?
0:28:23 > 0:28:24You have done a fine job, Agnes.
0:28:26 > 0:28:27You'll know when the time is right.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30SCREAMING
0:28:49 > 0:28:51CHATTER
0:28:55 > 0:28:56What's he up to?
0:28:56 > 0:28:58- OLD MAN:- Abraham...
0:29:03 > 0:29:04David...
0:29:07 > 0:29:08Henry...
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Benjamin...
0:29:22 > 0:29:23CLUNK
0:29:25 > 0:29:28HOLLOW POUNDING
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Over here, lads!
0:29:31 > 0:29:33There's some kind of entrance.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Align the gun with your face.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43Up.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Back it into your shoulder. Bend that front knee.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48Back straight.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53And...
0:29:56 > 0:29:58You're getting closer. You're definitely getting closer.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04I always thought it would be my own son I'd teach to shoot.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10I liked Gabriel.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12We used to play together.
0:30:12 > 0:30:13I know you did.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20So you'll have to be a bit of a son to me
0:30:20 > 0:30:23and I'll do my best to be a bit of a father to you.
0:30:23 > 0:30:24How does that sound?
0:30:27 > 0:30:30I said I don't belong here.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33You do belong here, Charlie.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Don't let anyone tell you any different.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42What are you doing?
0:30:48 > 0:30:49Put the gun down.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53Put it down.
0:30:55 > 0:30:56HE FIRES TWICE
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Why did you do that?
0:31:00 > 0:31:02Why did you do that, Charlie?
0:31:02 > 0:31:04They've seen him.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08- What are you talking about? - Gabriel. They've seen him.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14Where have they seen him?
0:31:15 > 0:31:16Standing by the lake.
0:31:18 > 0:31:19Right where he drowned.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Charlie!
0:31:31 > 0:31:32David...
0:31:33 > 0:31:34Harrington...
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Abraham...
0:31:39 > 0:31:40Henry...
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Benjamin...
0:31:45 > 0:31:48I suppose the sun is over the yardarm somewhere in the world.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50THEY CHUCKLE
0:31:50 > 0:31:52- Your very good health.- And yours.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09Do you believe in ghosts, Denning?
0:32:15 > 0:32:20- Ghosts?- Charlie said something about seeing my son.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Charlie wants to get your attention,
0:32:22 > 0:32:26so he says the one thing that is guaranteed to do just that.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31One night, in Shepzoy, I saw...
0:32:31 > 0:32:33a woman.
0:32:34 > 0:32:38- What sort of woman? - She had a book of light in her hand.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40- Well, who was she?- I have no idea.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42But Gabriel drew a picture of a woman with a book,
0:32:42 > 0:32:45and so did Harriet.
0:32:45 > 0:32:51Are you seriously telling me you all saw a ghost? The same ghost?
0:32:51 > 0:32:53When I was looking for Charlie, I saw lights
0:32:53 > 0:32:56rushing towards me down the lane.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00What are you telling me? You... You saw...a-a vision?
0:33:00 > 0:33:03- Angels?- No. I don't know.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08In all your years of dealing with the dead and the dying and the bereaved...
0:33:08 > 0:33:10have you ever seen anything that you could not explain?
0:33:12 > 0:33:13Never.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Now, that was a good day's work.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22Time for a touch of the good stuff at the Wheatsheaf, I reckon.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24When was the last time you didn't end your day at the Wheatsheaf?
0:33:24 > 0:33:28- Sunday, ma'am. - Cos they're not open on Sundays!
0:33:28 > 0:33:31- LAUGHING: He don't like that! - Not strong enough!
0:33:33 > 0:33:34Ma'am...
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- MAN:- Where's Mr Appleby?
0:33:38 > 0:33:41I'm his wife. Can I help you?
0:33:42 > 0:33:43SCREAM
0:33:43 > 0:33:47How would you explain... the woman in my house?
0:33:47 > 0:33:48A trick of the light.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52The brain...
0:33:52 > 0:33:56is an amazing and mischievous organ.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58- Mm-hm! - Er, who keeps telling me that?
0:33:58 > 0:33:59I know, I know.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02Anyway, I thought you were supposed to be a scientist.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05So did I.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Mrs Appleby, sir!
0:34:16 > 0:34:18MUFFLED DISTRESSED NOISES
0:34:25 > 0:34:27NOISES CONTINUE
0:34:37 > 0:34:40HE MAKES DISTRESSED NOISES
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Charlie?
0:34:44 > 0:34:47What can be so bad, my brave man?
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Hmm?
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Are you my mother?
0:34:58 > 0:35:00What?
0:35:02 > 0:35:04Course I am. What a thing to say!
0:35:05 > 0:35:08They said I don't belong to you...or the village.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Who said that? These...wretched boys?
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Then they are liars!
0:35:17 > 0:35:20I am your mother and this is where you belong.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32- Where is she?- In here, sir.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Are you hurt?
0:35:38 > 0:35:41- I'm fine.- You promise me?
0:35:41 > 0:35:43- He didn't hurt me, Nathan. - Where is he?
0:35:43 > 0:35:46- He's a very old, very confused man. - Where is he? Charlotte!
0:35:46 > 0:35:50Please, Nathan. For me.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05My name is Nathan Appleby. I'm the master of Shepzoy House.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07What are you doing here?
0:36:07 > 0:36:09They've started again.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13After all...these...years.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15What has started again?
0:36:15 > 0:36:19The voices. Pulling me back here.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23When I was a boy I worked in the Appleby mine.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25There's no Appleby mine.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29They used us boys from the workhouse in Taunton.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31Never the village lads.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34Don't risk the village lads.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37It was a terrible place.
0:36:38 > 0:36:42Hot as hell and black as the devil.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46Every hour, on the hour...
0:36:46 > 0:36:49we called out to each other,
0:36:49 > 0:36:52to let us know we were all safe.
0:36:54 > 0:36:55David...
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Harrington...
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Abraham...

0:37:15 > 0:37:17- BOY'S VOICE:- Come and play.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19- SECOND BOY'S VOICE:- Come on, Charlie.
0:37:19 > 0:37:20Not tonight.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24I don't want to play tonight.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26Come and play, Charlie.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Come with us.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Come on, Charlie.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38You don't belong with them.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47You belong with us.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56We're coming for you, Charlie.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00WHISPERED BOYS' VOICES MINGLE

0:38:12 > 0:38:15so they was always the pushers
0:38:15 > 0:38:17and I was always the trapper.
0:38:17 > 0:38:18The trapper?
0:38:18 > 0:38:20The worst job in the mine.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23The trapper's job was to open and close the flap
0:38:23 > 0:38:26so that air did get into the tunnels.
0:38:27 > 0:38:2912 hours...
0:38:30 > 0:38:31..in a hole...
0:38:33 > 0:38:36..no bigger than a child's coffin.

0:39:47 > 0:39:49You don't belong with them.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01That last day, I couldn't stand it any longer.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03The darkness.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05The terrible weight of it on my eyes.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10I was nine years old, sir.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12No mother or father of my own.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36I was climbing up to the surface,
0:40:36 > 0:40:38to the sunlight...
0:40:39 > 0:40:41..even though I knew I would be beaten.
0:40:43 > 0:40:48Then I heard... the whole valley rumble.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52The mine was caving in.
0:40:53 > 0:40:57When there is a landslip, the men on the surface
0:40:57 > 0:41:01shout down to the trapper, who sounds the alarm, but...
0:41:01 > 0:41:04I-I wasn't in the coffin.
0:41:04 > 0:41:08S-S-So the boys... never got their warning.
0:41:08 > 0:41:13I ran over to the office to alert the overseers.
0:41:13 > 0:41:14Old man Appleby was there.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16My great-grandfather?
0:41:16 > 0:41:21I-I was screaming and screaming at him, "Help the boys!
0:41:21 > 0:41:24"Help the boys!"
0:41:24 > 0:41:27But he said... it was too difficult...
0:41:28 > 0:41:31..too...expensive to dig 'em out.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35They died, sir.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39Every...one.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42I could hear them...
0:41:44 > 0:41:45..screaming...
0:41:46 > 0:41:48..and crying...
0:41:49 > 0:41:50..for days.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53And then...
0:41:55 > 0:41:56..it stopped.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02They were only workhouse boys. What did it matter?
0:42:04 > 0:42:09And now...I hear them again.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11My God.
0:42:11 > 0:42:12M...
0:42:12 > 0:42:13My...
0:42:15 > 0:42:19..poor, poor...angry boys.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24HE SOBS
0:42:27 > 0:42:28Charlie's missing.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33The tunnel opens into a system of other tunnels,
0:42:33 > 0:42:35unstable at the best of times.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38You're not even sure he's down there.
0:42:38 > 0:42:39He is down there.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43The tunnels were built for small children.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45In places, they'll be barely three feet wide.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48If you do get through, there'll be little or no oxygen. It's madness.
0:42:54 > 0:42:55What are you doing?
0:42:55 > 0:42:59Coming with you. Charlie is my responsibility as much as yours.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04If you're not back soon, I'm coming in after you.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13You'll find him, sir.
0:43:13 > 0:43:16You'll find my boy. I know you will.
0:43:37 > 0:43:40"And the earth opened her mouth...
0:43:40 > 0:43:42"and swallowed 'em up."
0:43:47 > 0:43:50Mr Smith, I want you to shore this entrance up.
0:43:50 > 0:43:53- Gideon, take some men and help them.- Ma'am.
0:43:53 > 0:43:56Gwen, go up to the house and get food and drink.
0:43:56 > 0:43:58- Yes, ma'am.- Lamps.
0:43:58 > 0:44:01All the lamps we have.
0:44:19 > 0:44:21- The air's so thin. - HE COUGHS
0:44:23 > 0:44:25Shh-shh.
0:44:25 > 0:44:26Did you hear that?
0:44:26 > 0:44:29I can just hear the sound of my own blood pounding in my ears.
0:44:29 > 0:44:31Charlie!
0:44:33 > 0:44:36- We have to push on. Can you do it? - Lead the way.
0:44:56 > 0:44:57It opens up.
0:45:01 > 0:45:02Thank God.
0:45:08 > 0:45:11Wait! Appleby, wait!
0:45:13 > 0:45:14Charlie.
0:45:18 > 0:45:21What was he like, ma'am, when you first met Mr Appleby?
0:45:23 > 0:45:25He was a dashing young man,
0:45:25 > 0:45:29running around London, devoted to his patients,
0:45:29 > 0:45:30full of new and radical ideas.
0:45:32 > 0:45:33Lectures and parties.
0:45:34 > 0:45:36And then when I finally got him to stop for a moment,
0:45:36 > 0:45:39I saw something else.
0:45:39 > 0:45:40A sadness.
0:45:42 > 0:45:44Gabriel?
0:45:45 > 0:45:49I promised myself I would love that sadness out of him.
0:45:51 > 0:45:53Not to forget Gabriel - never that.
0:45:55 > 0:45:57To surround him with our own...children...
0:45:59 > 0:46:01..bring him that joy again.
0:46:02 > 0:46:05And so you shall, ma'am. I'm sure of it.
0:46:11 > 0:46:13Charlie!
0:46:19 > 0:46:20Charlie!
0:46:24 > 0:46:26We can't stop. We can't stop here.
0:46:26 > 0:46:29- HE PANTS - Just...one moment. Please.
0:46:31 > 0:46:34It's no... It's no use, man. If the boy came down here...
0:46:35 > 0:46:36Charlie!
0:46:38 > 0:46:39METALLIC CLINK
0:46:48 > 0:46:51So this God of yours, Denning -
0:46:51 > 0:46:54absent or merely cruel?
0:46:54 > 0:46:57Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it,
0:46:57 > 0:46:59"Why hast thou made me thus?"?
0:46:59 > 0:47:03Then, "Don't ask questions," is that what you're saying?
0:47:03 > 0:47:06I will ask questions. I will never stop.
0:47:08 > 0:47:10Hold the lamp high.
0:47:10 > 0:47:12There's more oxygen near the roof.
0:47:47 > 0:47:49Abraham...
0:48:07 > 0:48:08Oh, they're all children.

0:51:11 > 0:51:13- CREAKING - What was that?
0:51:15 > 0:51:18Just the ground settling, Mrs Appleby, nothing more.
0:51:18 > 0:51:20I'll be the judge of that.
0:51:25 > 0:51:27Nathan...

0:53:50 > 0:53:52I heard Gabriel's voice.
0:53:54 > 0:53:58- He trusted me and I let him down. - It was an accident.
0:54:03 > 0:54:05Every sleeping moment of my life...
0:54:07 > 0:54:08..I've dreamt of him.
0:54:11 > 0:54:15Waiting for me by the lake... launching his boat...
0:54:15 > 0:54:17- Nathan.- Then terrified.
0:54:19 > 0:54:21Shouting out for me.
0:54:23 > 0:54:26- It was the water in his lungs. - Do not torture yourself.
0:54:26 > 0:54:28And now I've failed Charlie, too.
0:54:28 > 0:54:30You have nothing to reproach yourself for.
0:54:30 > 0:54:33I refused to believe what he was telling me.
0:54:33 > 0:54:34That there are ghosts?
0:54:41 > 0:54:43I...
0:54:55 > 0:54:57I heard Gabriel's voice.
0:55:00 > 0:55:03I am...sure of it.
0:55:07 > 0:55:09You said yourself you were short of oxygen.
0:55:09 > 0:55:11Yes.
0:55:11 > 0:55:13You were seeing things, hearing things.
0:55:15 > 0:55:17There are no ghosts.
0:55:18 > 0:55:19There's just you and me.
0:55:21 > 0:55:23And we're alive, Nathan Appleby.
0:55:25 > 0:55:27We are alive.
0:57:25 > 0:57:27There's something here.
0:57:27 > 0:57:28Something bad.
0:57:28 > 0:57:31- This place is damned. - Ever since you returned.
0:57:33 > 0:57:35I heard her. I saw her.
0:57:36 > 0:57:38- CHARLOTTE:- I wonder,
0:57:38 > 0:57:40when you're helping people, what else you're looking for.
0:57:41 > 0:57:43Gabriel.
0:57:47 > 0:57:53# I am stretched upon your grave
0:57:53 > 0:58:00# And I will lie here forever
0:58:00 > 0:58:07# If your hands were in mine
0:58:07 > 0:58:16# I'd be sure they would not sever... #
