And Now the Screaming Starts!

- In my dreams, I go back to the year 1795,

to a time when I was happy.

I was on my way to be married.

I was going to the house in which

I was to find my days filled with fear,

my nights filled with horror.

What a lovely old house.

- It was built by my ancestors over 300 years ago.

Is there a ghost?

Ghosts galore!

Headless horseman, horseless headman, everything.

Family tree?

Oh yes, they're all here.

From the highest to the lowest.

Oh that's a good portrait.

Who is he?

Uncle, Frederick Fengriffen.

Said to be by Hogarth.

Really?

No, no Uncle Frederick came back

from the Indies in 1765,

Hogarth died in 1764.

Oh, after Hogarth.

Sir Peter Fengriffen, the fox hunter.

Sir Thomas Fengriffen, the witch hunter.

Who is he?

Oh that's my grand father, sir Henry.

Sir Henry Fengriffen.

Catherine.

My father, Sir Simon.

Now while you admire my ancestors,

I'll go and see that your room is ready.

Oh Charles!

Charles.

Cathy!

What is it?!

What is the matter?

What are you frightened of?!

There was...

Nothing.

- Come and see the latest in the collection.

There.

Do you like it?

What a beautiful wedding.

See you soon.

God speed the parting guests.

I'll be back soon.

Catherine!

Catherine?

Catherine!

What's the matter?!

Oh Charles.

It was all in her imagination.

Why that?

Apart from the legacies to the servants,

which you can copy from the present will,

I want my wife to be sole beneficiary of the estate.

That is until we have children of course.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Nothing.

What can you see?

Catherine there's nothing there.

Oh Charles!

Catherine, what's the matter?

There was a man.

Come sit down.

He had a red scar like a birthmark

and he was dressed in rags and bits of old letter.

Who is he?

Do you know who he is?

He's a sort of woodsman.

Yours?

No ones.

What's he doing on the estate?

Well he lives here.

Oh Mrs. Luke.

Do you know anything about the woodsman

who lives in the grounds?

I think you best ask the master milady.

Do you?

No milady.

The servants on the estate come under the bailiff.

I'm only responsible for those inside the house.

Is he a servant?

No.

Not exactly.

Well what is he then?

What is he?!

- This needs ironing, I'll give it to your maid.

Hello?

Hello?

Didn't you hear me?

Oh yes.

I heard you mistress.

Then why didn't you answer?

I have to hear.

Nothing says I have to answer.

I want to talk to you.

I'm listening.

Take your hands out of the water.

Which one would you like first mistress?

Either.

Either.

Well as I'm right handed,

how about this one?

Is that the one you wanted?

Now the other one.

You want to see this one?

I've just said so.

Two hands you see.

Eight fingers, two thumbs,

back, front, nothing special about them.

Who are you?

Silas, son of Silas.

And what do you do?

I'm a woodsman.

You have trouble with an elm, an ash,

trouble with anything.

You just send for me.

How long have you lived here?

All my life.

My father before me.

My master's grandfather gave us the land.

Grandfather?

Henry Fengriffen.

Tell me about your grandfather.

What do you want to know?

What sort of a man was he?

What did he do?

- I have no idea, he died long before I was born.

He farmed the estate.

I spoke to the woodsman today.

He says Sir Henry gave his family the land.

Why did he?

- I didn't know it, it all happened a long time ago.

50 years at least.

- On the estate there's a cottage, a hovel.

A woodsman lives there.

Silas.

You know him?

I know of him.

- He says Sir Henry gave his family the land.

That is true.

Why?

I'm not at liberty to reveal information

which has been entrusted to me.

You're the family solicitor,

you must tell me.

- I cannot without first speaking to your husband.

- I've asked him, he refuses to tell me anything.

But I must know.

Our marriage, perhaps our very lives may depend on it.

- Return to Fengriffen and tell Sir Charles

I will come to see him later tonight.

- If you can help me I'll be eternally grateful.

I'll try.

Thank you.

- Show Lady Fengriffen to her coach please.

I will try.

Get on.

Get on!

Come.

I'm going to ride out,

see if I can find lawyer Maitland.

He should have been here two hours ago.

I shan't be long.

What is it child?

That window!

Oh.

Well it could be one of two things.

A boy or a girl.

Congratulations to you both.

Are you going to take her away?

Take her away?

To have the baby.

Certainly not.

Have you no fear of what might happen?

Every Fengriffen for the past 300 years

has been born here, so will he.

He?

It'll be a boy, I'm sure of that.

An heir to Fengriffen.

- Charles for God's sake, you must tell her.

No.

Then I will.

Will you?

No.

You believe in it then?

After what happened to Maitland?

- Maitland was murdered, we don't know why or by whom.

But his killer will be found.

His killer must be found.

Come come now Silas.

Save time, tell us why you did it?

Who else around here owns a long handled ax?

Every farmer, every small holder.

- But they weren't in Brinkton Wood last night.

Nor was I.

Morning Charles.
