Bad Nun: Deadly Vows (2020) - full transcript

Catherine and her family recently moved into a converted church. Upon moving in, they have been harassed by an unknown religious stalker, claiming them to be sinners. Pamela, Catherine's ...

Dinner's nearly ready,
are you coming?

Yeah, I'll be down in a minute.

I think you going back to university

will be a really good thing.

Yeah?
Yeah.

Let's hope so.

A bit nervous to be honest.

Yeah?
Hmm...

I'm gonna be visiting you all
the time.

Thank you.

No worries.



I'm just worried about my mom.

You know what she's like,
calling me all the time.

So me going away, she's just
gonna wanna visit constantly.

She's been so over bearing
since what happened.

You really need to start
getting more sleep, Babe.

Stop worrying, I'm fine.

It's just a difficult time of year.

Okay.
Hmm.

I'll just finish this off.

Don't be long though, okay?

Hmm, I'll be fine.

Kieran?

No, it's not real,
it's not real, it's not real,

it's not real, it's not real...



Aesha.

Go away

Why don't you open up?

Come on, open up,

Kieran?

Kieran?

Kieran?

Kieran, Kieran, Kieran!

Aesha, are you actually alone
this time?

Last time you lied to me.

You knew I would come back,
didn't you?

You have 10 seconds to open
up this door Aesha,

or I will have to open it myself.

No, please, please, please.

10, nine, eight, seven...

Emergency services operator,

which service do you require?

Police, please.

Connecting you now.

Police, what is your emergency?

There's someone outside.

Outside my house,
they're gonna come in.

They're gonna kill me.

Do they have a weapon?

They killed my boyfriend.

Please, please come as soon
as possible

Dispatching now.

Someone will be there within
the next 10 minutes.

Hello?

Can you hear me?

Hello?

Please respond.

Please come.

Nice to see you again, Aesha.

Please...

No!

And why exactly didn't we get
a moving van,

like normal people?

You know what your mom's like.

Mom, what made you think that
getting a Pomeranian

of all puppies was going to
help protect you in the country?

Oh, Lazy Bones,
put some back into it.

I thought you were getting
into fitness at university.

I don't see much fitness
going on there.

Mom, the sass!

I come home for a nice,
relaxing break and instead

I'm helping the two of you move.

Oh, what a hard life you lead, Cathy.

I know.

Come on,
pop her down and then chuck

some of these boxes inside,
will you?

Come on baby.

When I'm not being treated
like a slave,

I'm being treated like a baby.

Oh, you'll always be mommy's baby.

Come on, in you go!

Hey, it's okay honey, it's okay.

There's nothing there.

Let's get started.

Yeah, it's a bit warm now as well.

Okay.

You know, I never did like him.

Put that away before Cathy
sees it.

Put it away?

Sweetheart, this needs to go
in the bin,

exactly where it belongs.

Hey, where should I put this one?

Oh!

You know, we are out of milk.

Could you be a sweetheart and
go out to the local

and grab some?

But the local's five miles away.

Take your mom's car,
I'm sure she won't mind.

Yeah, it's fine.

Drive carefully.

I'm desperate for coffee.

Fine, I'll go.

Do you guys need anything else?

Nothing for me.
I'm all right, thanks.

Okay, bye cutie.
Bye bye!

Right, I think we need a glass.

Mom!
Come on!

You can tell me everything.

We've got all these boxes to unpack,

and here we are,
having a glass of red.

Well, you've taken time off work,
just relax, chill.

That's what I think you
should've done this whole time.

Have you heard from him since?

He calls Cathy, not me.

I feel like a deranged woman
on repeat.

I don't see where it came from
or why he'd do this to me.

I know things weren't perfect.

Mandy.

He'd cheated on me before.

When Cathy was a little girl.

It was a heat of the moment thing,

he convinced me it was just
one time after a few drinks.

I didn't want to lose him.

Sometimes, you forgive people

if you want to keep them in
your life.

Look, I will be here as long
as you need me.

You hear that?

As long as you need me.

Thank you, Mom.
Okay.

Uh, what are we having?

Thai take away, of course.

What do you fancy?

The Thai...

No, there.
Oh.

Yeah, can I get Pad Thai with
no prawns and extra chicken?

Sure.
Yes.

Yum yum.

Wait, aren't we getting it delivered?

We live too far out,
I have to go collect it.

Why didn't you ask me to get
it when I was out?

You're alright to drive?

Yeah, it was just one,
I'll be fine.

Thanks Mom.
See you later.

Love you.
See you.

Bye.

Lovely.

Love Thai.
Mmm!

Ah, a little something to
make this more bearable.

I didn't think this was your
kind of vibe.

Oh, my music taste hasn't changed.

Gran's got some beats.

Why the hell not?

Who could that be?

It could be mum, I'll get that.

Mom?

Hello?

Um, who?

I've come to welcome you to
the area.

Who is it?

I don't know

Well, open the door.
Wait.

Sorry, who is it?

Hello?

How many have moved into the home?

Sorry, who is this?

Sister Cindy Lamb.

I have come to welcome you to
the area.

Did you meet the previous residents?

Lovely family.

Gran.
Do not open the door.

She's lying.

There weren't any previous residents.

This house has been empty for years

Won't you let me in?

Awfully cold outside.

I've brought you a moving in gift.

Sorry, we were just heading
to bed

I will come back in the morning.

Sure, see you later.

Wouldn't you let me in to
call a car home?

It's me.

Coming.

Ugh, thank you,
it's getting nippy out there.

Mom, bolt it.

What?

You alright?

You look like you've seen a ghost.

What is it?

They were left outside.

What's going on?

Stop being silly, both of you.

Wine?
Ooh, yes.

Celebration times.

Not too much.

Lots, thank you.

Cheeky.

Right, what are we toasting to?

To new beginnings.
New puppy.

To Pad Thai.
Oh, yes.

Cheers, girls.
Cheers!

'Morning.

I thought we were gonna have
a late start today.

I thought I might pop out for
a bit.

Why, where are we going?

I thought I might pop out for
a bit

and you can have the morning
to get settled.

I'll be back soon.

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna get some milk,
take in the views,

that sort of thing.

Okay, if you're sure.

Oh, I'm taking your car.

Yeah, fine.

Alright, see you later.

Morning!
Oh my God!

Oh, I am ever so sorry.

I'm Ted, your neighbor

Neighbor!

Where is your house?

I haven't seen any house
around here for miles.

We're just one and half
something miles

down that dirt track, then
make a left, me and my daughter.

This is Nancy.
Oh, Mandy, sorry.

God, can't imagine how
I came across.

I didn't realize other people
lived here.

I know, it's a small place, right?

Anyway, we just wanted to
come say hi.

If you needed anything we're
literally just down the way.

Oh, thank you so much.

My mom's just popped out and
she's gonna be

living here for a while

My daughter's just got back
from University.

She'll be here for the month.

Oh, you hear that Nancy?

Might be the first time in a decade

that someone in your age
range is nearby.

Oh, come in, come in.

Come have a cup of tea and
you can meet Cathryn.

Hello.
Oh!

Oh, I'm sorry,
I didn't mean to frighten you.

Oh, no problem.

I just wanted to stop by.

I had a nun come by my
daughter's house last night.

We just moved into the
Old Cotswold Cottage.

Oh, congratulations.

That place has been looking
for a buyer for quite some time.

Yeah, thank you.

I just wondered if she was
about, the nun.

I hate to say it but we're no
longer a working church.

I'm just here to do the final
closures on it.

So, there aren't any nuns in
the area?

Maybe in the next town?

She came to welcome us,
and it was

as if she lived around here.

I don't know what to tell you.

She isn't from this church.

I'm the last one left

Right, okay, thank you.

What did you say your name
was, sorry?

Oh, Pam, Pamela Seers.

You just look awfully familiar,
that's all.

Oh, I have one of those faces
I guess.

I can't quite put my finger
on it.

Anyway, thank you, bye.

Cindy.

Sorry?

Cindy Lamb?

No, my name's Pamela

So yeah, I just thought,
why the hell not just pick up

from the city and move out here.

Get away from the baggage.

Baggage?

You know, just, cut ties,
move on.

Cathy, this is our neighbors.

This is Ted,
he lives down the road

with his daughter, Nancy.

Hey. Hi.

It's a beautiful home.

Much different from the city, uh?

Yeah, though I'll be moving
back next month.

I need some air.

So, how long have you lived
around here?

Have you got a spare?

Don't worry, I won't tell.

Didn't take you to be a smoker.

I've quit a few times,
but here I am.

Can you light me up?

Something with your dad?

I've noticed he's not around.

He cheated on my mom.

Sorry.

At least now we know who he
really is.

I mean, if this is what he's like,

then we can just cut him out
and move on.

I know what it's like to grow
up without

a parent in the picture.

Yeah?

My mum.

She left me when I was younger,

don't really have much memory
of her now.

Sorry.

Nothing can be changed,
and like you said,

just cut the cord and move on.

Are there any other neighbors
around here?

I mean, miles in every direction,
but no one nearby.

Just 'cause when I was getting
food last night,

apparently a nun came by and
scared the hell

out of my mom and daughter.

A nun?

She came to welcome us or something.

Did you not get a visit when
you moved in?

I, I didn't.

It's pretty strange that a
nun would show up

out of the blue.

Wait, did they let her in?

I don't think so,
I think they kept her outside.

What is it?

There was an incident.

Not long ago this girl was staying

at a holiday home around here.

Turns out the guy running the
home didn't exactly own it.

He was luring women to this home

in the middle of nowhere to
torment them and well,

ultimately, kill them.

Oh my god, when did this happen?

It all ended when this young
girl escaped.

She locked him in the local church.

Police came, arrested him and
he's still behind bars,

but unfortunately, it's,
it's what this little town

is famous for, the murders.

And the girl, did she...

She escaped.

Oh my God.

Rumor has it that he dressed
as a nun.

But I wouldn't worry about that.

Like I said, he was caught.

There was even an incident
last year, a college group

dressed up as nuns for a prank.

And let me tell you, it didn't
go down well with the locals.

Mum, these are our neighbors.

This is Ted and his daughter, Nancy

Hi, nice to meet you.

Hi.

Been getting acquainted, have we?

We were just outside having a smoke.

She's joking.

Yeah, something like that.

Ignore my daughter and her
bad sense of humor.

That's fine, I know all about that.

It was lovely meeting you all.

Lovely to meet you.

See you.
See you soon.

You okay mom?

Yeah.

Shh...

Not too much.

Gotta let a girl live, eh Cathy?

Exactly, and a girl has not lived

without a full glass of Rose.

Thanks.

So, this girl from earlier.

Wait, this is why you're
getting me drunk,

to try to get me to spill my secret?

Your grandmother always has
a grand plan.

Well, she was kind of cute.

Nancy, wasn't it?

Yeah, Nancy and yeah.

I don't know,
I only met her briefly.

Oh, you know, when you know.

Oh my God,

I'm not gonna be jumping her
bones anytime soon.

I should hope not.

Hmm.

I mean, yeah, she was cute.

But she works on a farm

and she lives in the middle
of nowhere.

If I'm gonna be dating someone,
I want them to be a bit more

hustled and bustled, you know?

She wants a city type.

Who is it?

I don't know, some unknown number.

Hello?

I told your grandmother,
and I will tell you.

You must leave our land,
for she is on it,

and she does not belong.

She is not wanted on this land,
and if any of you get

in the way, I will see to it
that you are taken too.

Do not think I cannot see
what you are doing.

If you wish to play these games,
then trust me,

I will play them back.

Listen to me,
whoever the hell you are,

we will find you and catch
you and..

Not before I catch you, my dear,

and tear you apart, limb from limb.

Do not think you can outsmart me.

Your sins will be seen to.

I'm calling the police, now.

So, there's not really
anything here to suspect.

I mean, you're miles away
from anything.

It could really have just
been a prank call.

A nun came to our house last night.

There was something off about it

so I went to the local church today

and nobody knew anything
about any nuns in the area.

Did this nun do anything
particularly suspicious?

She left a batch of cookies.

Some may consider that a good deed.

They had maggots in them.

Look, without any real threats,

I'm afraid there's nothing
that we can do.

She screamed abuse at me down
the phone,

insinuating she was gonna
kill me.

And my girls.

Look, read this.

I'm afraid there isn't really
anything that can be done.

I mean, we can come out if
you need us.

We can keep tabs on your calls.

That's it?

Without any real threat,
nine times out of 10,

it just ends up being prank calls.

But those other women,
what happened to them?

That wasn't just a prank.

So you've been told what happened.

It was over four years ago,
it was a long time.

What happened?

In the local area,
a man called Daniel Copeland.

Now, as a child he and some
of the other boys were abused

in the convent by some of the carers.

This all came out in the news
when the boys spoke up.

But the nuns were never
brought to justice.

They just walked free

Oh my God, that's awful.

When did that happen?

Back in the '70s.

So what happened four years ago?

Well, one of the victims,
Daniel, he was taken

to a mental institute,

because of the trauma that
happened to him.

Christ.

He had a condition called
Dissociative Identity Disorder.

He'd dress up as a nun that
harmed him.

And he'd hunt down the remaining
nuns and he'd kill them.

He'd manipulate their voices,
truly believing that

it was that of his last victim.

Eventually he started to lure women

that he deemed to be evil to
a cottage about 20 miles

south of here and he'd dress
up as the nun,

and he'd toy with them,
eventually killing them.

That is until one girl survived.

My neighbor Ted told me about her.

I looked her up,
her name was Aesha Waida.

She was the only survivor

She was, until recently.

What do you mean?

She's been found dead.

Along with her boyfriend.

But that was on the other
side of the UK, near London,

it was nowhere near here.

And I have no reason to
believe it's him

because he's safely behind bars.

Look, this is a small town,
pranks do get played.

There are one or two nasty
people out there and they've got

too much time on their hands.

The reason that this town has
got its notoriety

is the murders.

Most of us would just like to
forget about that.

Are you still up?

Couldn't sleep.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I've always had trouble sleeping.

But nothing to do with what
happened today.

You know it's all right to
admit you're afraid.

I'm fine.

Right, I'm going to bed,
and so should you.

Julie?

Hey girl.

Julie!

Julie, come on girl, come on!

She was here.

She was right here.

She'll be around here, somewhere.

The door was left open.

What?

The door,
it was left open last night.

I've just been out calling
for her.

No, I know I checked before
I went to bed last night.

It was locked.

Maybe you were tired or something,
I don't know.

It should be all right.

I have to go.

Where to?

I have to see Nancy.

Look, don't worry.

I'll go out and look for her later.

She's a puppy, she's curious.

See ya.

You didn't strike me as being
the religious type.

Something's not right.
What do you mean?

It's my grandmother.

Ever since we've come here,
she's been acting strange.

She's been hiding something.

I went through her albums the
other day and there was this

picture of her with really
religious parents.

And there was another one of
her training to become a nun.

Well, what's the issue with that?

'Cause she's never mentioned
this her entire life.

She told me that her mother
died during childbirth

and her father ran off with
another woman.

She told me and my mom she
was an orphan.

Why would she lie about that?

Exactly, there's something
from her past she's hiding.

Something she doesn't want me
to know.

And coming to a church will
help because?

'Cause I found this.

This is the church she
trained at.

It's one of the few that were listed.

Hello?

You do know this isn't a
working church, right?

My grandmother came the other day

and said she saw a priest.

Okay, this is freaking me out.

What's the plan?

Trying to work that out myself.

Hello.

Hi.

We're closed.

Can I ask what you're doing
in here?

My grandmother came the other day.

New neighbors.

Something like that.

We're no longer a working church,
I hate to say it.

I was wondering if I could
ask you something.

Go on.

Do you know this woman?

Sister Cindy Lamb.

You know this woman?

This is my grandmother,
Pamela Seers.

That isn't Pamela Seers.

Really, you have to leave.

We're no longer a working church,
I'm leaving today.

Please, tell me what it's going on,
I need to know.

Look, the sisterhood crimes
that happened in the area.

The people around here don't
want to remember the awful

crimes that happened,
they want to forget.

You'll find it if you dig
deep enough.

Julie?

Julie, where are you?

Julie?

Julie!

Julie, oh.

Oh god.

Chill out, I'm coming, I'm coming.

Hello?

Yes, who is it?

Identify yourself please

I was at your neighbor's house.

They told me I should come by.

They had run out of sugar.

Right, I don't know who you are,

but if you keep on like this
you're gonna find yourself

in trouble soon.

The sinners will be named for
their crimes.

Justice will be served.

Right, get off my property
before I call the police.

Are you sure whatever truth
you're about to uncover

you actually want to know it?

If it has to do with my family,
then yeah, I want to know.

Oh God.

What is it?

That's the priest.

Are you sure?

I'm sorry.

I've got to get out of here.

What is it?

Who's outside?

Nancy?

Cathy, where are you going?

To Nancy's.

But dinner's nearly ready.

Well, I'll have it 'round hers.

Please, don't go.

It's not safe.

Safer than being in here.

Thanks for driving.

That's fine.

I just can't be around her
right now.

Just, we'll figure it out tonight.

It's a lot to take in.

Come on.

Dad?

Dad?

Dad, I'm home.

Wait, don't answer it.

Who is it?

I've come by to check in on
your father.

That's the same one who came
to my house the other night.

Don't open the door.

He's not in right now.

Yes, he is.

I was with him just earlier.

In your home.

He asked me to check by this afternoon.

He had a nasty accident.

Do open the door,
it's awfully cold out here.

Why were you with my dad?

Sorry?

Come on, let me in now.

Who exactly are you?

Sister Cindy Lamb.

What do you want?

Sinner.

Sin, sin, sin.

Sinner is she that protects thee.

You have evil blood running
through your veins.

Tried to warn you.

Tried to tell you.

No one listened.

Your name is not Cindy Lamb.

Oh, I see him.

There he is.

Your father, in your living room,
I see him now,

there he is watching me.

Where's my dad?

You should tell him not to be
so rude

to stare at a lady.

Where is he?

Standing in your living room

Go see for yourself.

I don't appreciate how he is
staring at me.

Oh, oh God!

Dad, Dad wake up, Dad, Dad, Dad,

no, no, no, no.

Dad, please, please wake up, Dad!

Get up, get up!

I don't..
I know, I know, (mumbles).

We need to get of here, come on!

Look at me, look at me,
I know, I know, look at me.

We need to get somewhere safe.

Where can we go?

My bedroom.
Okay.

Now you know the truth

about your perfect, little family.

Time to repent.

Mom, what's going..
Not now.

Come on, why did Cathy storm
out of here like that?

And what did she mean
"It's safer than in here"?

Mom!

I heard you the first time!

Don't...

Who is it?

You have five seconds before
I call the police.

Five, four, three...

I'm calling it.

Two, one.

Oh no, the signal's gone.

You won't be calling the
police tonight.

We have something to settle,
our sisterhood.

You must be the Devil's spawn.

She brought this on herself.

A day of reckoning was always
debted to your family.

Get away from the door.

She's used your car.

What's going on, Mom?

It's gonna be fine

Who is she?

We need to stay calm,
and when the time is right,

run and don't look back.

♪ Come all ye faithful

♪ Come all ye saved

Mom, Mom!

Mom, I'm in the car, Mom!

Oh my God, Cathy!

Don't leave!

That is my daughter down there!

And you are mine!

I can't leave her, Mom!

Yeah.

Mom, Mom!

May God protect our family.

Run!

Run!

Ma, Ma!

No!

(Voice)

Gorgeous, gorgeous, go ahead,
go ahead, go ahead.

Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead.

(Voice)

You're such a strong boy,
gorgeous, gorgeous.

You're such a strong,
gorgeous, gorgeous.

You did this.

Gorgeous.

Tell me your sins, Sister.

Sisterhood is forever.

We stick together,
throughout our sins.

We hide our dirty secrets,
bury them deep together,

we hide them, for no one to see.

No need for tears, Sister.

What has been done can be hidden.

Your secret is safe with us.

Tell me your sin, Sister.

Father.

Confess to what you did, Sister.

You're the Nun, you're the Nun?

Tell me what you did to all
of those young boys.

Tell me what you and your
sisters did.

Please, please, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry.

No, no, no!

Please!

Confess.

Time to confess, Sister.

Tell them what you did.

I was a nun, when I was younger.

Sister Cindy Lamb.

I had my name changed after
what happened.

Oh, gran...

The nuns at the convent...

I was too much of a coward,
I turned a blind eye

to what they were doing to
those little boys.

My mother belonged to the church.

That's where she met my father.

He was a lay preacher.

It was always expected that
I would become a nun.

You told me that your mother died.

I lied.

To keep the secret of what
your father

was involved in, I lied.

I tried to move on, to start afresh.

What did the nuns do?

Abused the boys, punished them,
recorded them.

Jon, that's your name, isn't it?

It took me a while to figure
it out.

This morning I realized it
was you

Did you

do anything to those boys?

Oh God...

She got away with it,
they all got away with it

at that convent.

Nobody was convicted of their crimes.

The victims just had to get
on with their lives

like nothing happened.

We've taken punishment into
our own hands, as did Dan.

We took it into our own hands

once Dan was wrongly convicted.

We carried on where he left off,

hunting anyone who got away
with it.

Anyone who should have been
sinned for their crimes.

Sister Cindy lamb is the
final sister.

You killed them all?

God will judge them now.

For what you did,
a punishment must be made.

No, no, no, no,
not my granddaughter, no, please!

No, no, no, no!

You're gonna watch,
just like you made me watch.

No!

No, no!

Gran!

Wait!

I'm sorry for what they did
to you.

I can't imagine what you had
to go through,

what they made you do.

You understand?

I do.

No one ever understands the
pain that we've been through.

The suffering that filled our
minds for years after.

I understand.

And I want to help.

How?

To end what you started.

To end all the suffering, end
the memories of what they did.

With her death, it will be over,
memories will filter away.

You will live in safety,

knowing that they will never
hurt you again.

It's been in my head for so
long now.

I understand.

And what they did was wrong.

Cathy!

Finish this!

What you did started this,

and you have to end it.

Quickly, quickly.

Quickly!
Wait!

Please tell me you didn't do this.

Please.

You, you got what you deserved.

The way you behaved.

The way you walked around.

They did what they had to do.

Cathy, open the door.

Open the door.

Open the door.

Cathy, open the door.

May the Lord have mercy on
your soul.
