Where is she, Miss Whitby?
You'll draw her to the house.
So, your grandfather Bertie was a keen diarist, right?
Xanthe! Where is she!
Anecdotes, musings, riddles.
This is Shelley and she's my girlfriend!
That's mummy's doll from her sewing room.
What did they do with you!
Liz's body is not in the crypt Liz!
The dead don't rest if they're unhappy!
She was happy.
There is a way we can bring her back.
We can bring her back from the dead.
Listen!
Listen and behold!
Thank you.
The history lesson's been enlightening.
Believe and it shall be.
Behold our family's greatest treasure...
the Box.
Some thought 'the box' contained
a fabulous jewel.
The truth is,
that box has the power to bring back the dead.
All it requires is something of you and something of them.
This is impossible. Elizabeth believed.
She knew what was possible here.
All that's required is a key.
Not a physical key but a lexical key.
Something like a...
riddle.
You can be reunited.
All it takes is the riddle.
Give it to me.
I'll be right back.
Don't do it, Gabe! Oh!
Do not do it.
I can make my own decisions. I'm a grown ass man!
I don't understand this!
There's like a million alive women out there.
Why are you so hung up on one dead one?
You're so cool and hot.
You're a real catch!
I mean, you're hairy and muscley
and, you...you...you've got a shiny head
and when you smile, it lights up the room.
Gabe! What if she's not the same!
What if...
she comes back...
different?
Sometimes...
we have to risk everything for love.
Do you have it?
I must go into the dark.
Now sees your time in the sun.
What's rightfully ours has been hidden.
Safe, with the horn-ed one.
Yeah. Safe with the horned one.
That's the line that led me to your safe.
Come on, come on, you gotta know!
Come on! Huh?
Time...
time in the sun!
The sundial!
The two on the windows were built with the house.
I'll check that one. You check there.
OK, what have we got here?
I must go to the dark.
Wait a second.
That's not a Roman numeral.
That's an 'i', not a one!
I must go into the dark!
OK, so the dark.
What's the dark? We have the sun, cloud, moon.
It's dark!
I must go in...
Wanton obstinance!
Relinquish your secrets immediately!
Quincy, I think it's this one.
OK. What have you found?
(SIGNS)
Quincy and Gabe are planning something awful.
What do you mean?
How?
Today is the day.
I am a grown arse man!
I gotta match up the 'i' with the moon,
but it seems like there's a missing piece here
because there's a slot and a hole
and it seems like something goes in there, right?
It's the gnomon!
(LAUGHS) Of course!
Go and get the other gnomon!
What's a gnomon?
It's the thing that casts the bloody shadow.
Go. Fetch!
It casts a shadow.
OK! Line up the grooves.
(LAUGHTER)
We did it! Yeah, not really we.
It was me, but OK.
What is this humdrum knick-knack?
Where's the box?
I don't know. It's not in here.
It... wait, wait.
What's this picture on it?
That bird.
I know exactly where to go.
Push me!
OK. Wait. Whoa, whoa!
(READS) The fool who thinks he can cheat death
is not long for this world.
Should we be worried about this?
No.
Oh, Aston!
Oh, you're here alone?
Does your girlfriend not like me by the way?
She didn't say a word to me at dinner.
(FORCED LAUGH)
I realise I've made a bit of a laughing stock of myself
and, erm...
as much as this...
pains me to say...
I need your help.
Oh!
(CRIES)
This is where the birds were.
This was for birds?
Big cats and birds.
It was a different time.
The children's mother, Sarah,
and I had a dream of restoring this place
to its former magnificence.
But my brother, her husband,
did not care for the exotic as we did.
You loved her, didn't you?
I chose duty over love not realising
how stubborn the latter can be.
Years passed. My love did not diminish.
I decided I had to tell her.
But she never came home again.
Elizabeth looks...
so painfully like her mother.
OK, but that's...
not why you wanna bring her back though, right?
I'm telling you I understand your grief.
Now! Enough talk!
What we're looking for must be here somewhere!
Might there may well be something in one of those holes.
Put your hand in, have a feel.
You want me to put my hand in there?
Why don't you put your hand in, huh?
OK. Colonial sissy.
There, go on, try that one.
I feel something!
That's my hand, you idiot.
Now, try another hole.
Wait.
No, I feel something.
Yeah.
Oh, no!
It's got me! I'm stuck!
Oh, god! I'm stuck!
We first met in mother's sewing room.
And when she and father didn't return...
you were my last remnant of her.
I hoped that some essence of her remained alive in you.
I see now that her essence remained alive in all of us.
We've had our rough patches,
but maternal loss bloomed into something else.
We experienced together
the very heights of young love.
After a few structural improvisations...
Yeah, OK, I'm lighting it.
Darling, just know that a part of me burns with you.
Aston, your girlfriend's in the fire.
Yes, I know Bart. I put her there.
Oh, trouble in paradise.
Mummy's perfume!
(SOBS)
Do you smell it? Yes!
It's unmistakable.
Everything went wrong when they died.
Poor Elizabeth.
Dying was bad enough.
But being pulled back from eternal rest...
What?
What do you mean?
Quincy and Gabe,
they're planning to bring her back from the dead.
I wish I'd never told Quincy that Gabe found that riddle.
It'll all be alright, boys.
(SOBS)
Quincy, you've gotta get me the fuck out of here!
Come on! Help me! Wait!
Ha, ha! Ha!
I've got it!
Aha! Don't worry, don't worry.
I'll come back for you. What?
No! no!
Oh.
That released the mechanism. You're free.
Good.
You were gonna leave me. No!
No, we're in this together.
We're partners...
Why the fuck
do you wanna help me bring Liz back, huh?
What's the real fucking reason!
Erm...
I'm not going to be here for much longer.
And I can't pass this place on to any of her siblings.
Elizabeth is my last hope.
Shall we try again?
Jesus.
Yeah, fine!
There's two holes left.
(NODS)
No.
No, wait. I think it might be this one.
Move!
Oh!
Oh, no!
Oh, I'm stuck! Ah Quincy, help!
Then it must be here.
Ah! Ah!
I'm trapped!
Oh! Oh!
Oh? You're trapped?
Let's see.
You're absolutely right.
Oh, you found it.
How wonderful.
Oh, oh! Mind your work.
You wanted the box for yourself all along, didn't you?
(BEAST GROWLING IN THE DISTANCE)
I'll make you a deal.
You tell me what this engraving means
and I'll set you free.
Show me.
The trophy room.
Now you can set me free.
No.
So, what the hell does this do?
Come on help me, huh?
That's it!
(DOOR SLUMS)
You couldn't possibly believe all of that.
Liz believed.
What's that in your hand?
Let me see it. Give it to me.
I don't think so. Then fucking show me.
Why would I do that? Because.
Fine.
I think it's some sort of key.
And I know I've seen this symbol somewhere before.
Wait.
So have I.
Bertie's diary.
So, does this mean I'm rehired as your project manager?
OK. This symbol's in here a bunch of times.
See, see, but what does it mean?
It's all just gobbledygook.
No, hang on, hang on, please.
Every time this symbol appears, right,
it's always next to these three words.
D'you see? Coniuncta in Ignis.
Do you see? Uh-huh.
And here again, Coniuncta in Ignis.
Alright, yeah. Coniuncta. Coniuncta. Coniuncta means joined together.
Right? Yes.
Joined together.
Now, that leaves Ignis.
Ignis in Latin is...
Ignite! Yes, yes!
Or, or fire.
Right?
Fire.
Coniuncta in Ignis Join together in fire!
Hang on, how do you know Latin?
I'm a doctor.
Help!
OK, what is it?
Maybe it's up here.
Wait, wait, wait, there's a hole!
Let's see.
Oh, it fits!
(LAUGHTER)
I'm gonna turn it. I'm gonna turn it!
XANTHE Yes, turn it.
Oh, my god, look!
Look, Gabe. Look!
Help!
Ah, Aston my dear boy.
Set me free at once.
Oh, come on, boy.
Prove to me you've got some slither of fortitude within you
and put your hand in that hole
and release me from this contraption!
There's a lever in there, pull it!
Go on!
(LOUD CLICK) Agh.
Good boy.
I'd have had some respect for you if you'd left me to die.
Oh! Oh dear!
I think we should leave!
It looks like it's some sort of secret passageway.
I mean, what is this?
Safe with the Horned One.
I think I'm meant to put this thing on.
Alright.
Hurry up!
Ow!
Oh, my god! Ow!
There's barbs in this!
Ow! Get this off, get this off!
Here. Just let me help you. Let me help you.
Ow! No, no, no, no, no!
Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! No, don't help me!
OK.
I guess I'm committed to this now.
All of it.
Shit.
I hope this doesn't have barbs on it!
OK.
It should buckle in.
Yeah, OK I just need you to...
Oh! Jesus! Too tight?
Yeah!
Alright OK, OK.
Let's just have a little look at you.
Wow!
What a fucking nightmare!
I'm just gonna get you something. What?
What are you doing? Come on! I'll get you some rope.
Just so if anything happens to you, I know where you are.
OK. That's good, yeah. OK.
Hey, hey. What?
I need a flashlight.
Oh, I've got a better idea.
OK. What is that?
Night goggles. OK. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, these are cool! Mm-hm.
Wait, wait, wait! The doll!
Excuse me.
Back stabbing Yankee turncoat!
Oh, shit!
Hurry up!
I'm coming for you!
(BREATHES NOISILY) Oh, fuck.
There seems to be a shit load of passages down here.
Just hurry up!
Oh, wow!
The antlers, they saved my life!
Fuck!
What is this?
That box has the power to bring back the dead.
All it requires is something of you
and something of them.
Tears.
Come on!
Cry! Cry!
Cry!
Shit!
That box is mine!
(YELPS)
Ah! Aston!
Help your uncle!
Oh, my god!
No, no, no, no, no.
No.
No!
Let go!
I get why you wanted a divorce.
I was a fucking idiot...
obsessed with stupid shit.
(SOBS) I just wanted to see you once more.
I wanted that more than anything.
I wish that I...
that I could have another chance just to make it different.
Just to make it all different!
I just...
I love you so much.
(WOMAN SINGS)
Fuck!
Who's there?
Liz.
