There once

was a girl called Maude.

Who picked up a

strange creature.

And brought it to her home.

of the

rural cathedral city

of Hereford which

shattered this morning.

Upon the discovery

late last night

of several dismembered bodies.

Local police believe

we may be dealing

with Hereford's

first serial killer.

Do you want to drive?

No thanks.

Oh, too much light.

What are you doing?

I don't remember.

Being so much noise around here.

Not in the morning.

Come to bed.

What is it?

Nothing.

Nightmares again?

Just thinking about

things, that's all.

You think too much.

Ken.

Is everything alright?

You seem a bit embarrassed

about something.

Nope, not me.

What was that about?

Counting on me reading your mind

with my super powers?

What is it?

We've been given a

month's notice to quit.

We're being evicted?

Yep.

My God, is it

because I complained

about the stair

carpet, isn't it?

It's got to be.

It's too much of a coincidence.

It's thread bare.

- I know.

One complaint in four years,

and he goes and does this.

Jesus, Connor, we're being

evicted and you're laughing.

No, I'm not laughing at you.

It's him.

He's nuts.

He'd rather get rid of us

than buy a new stair carpet.

He's a cheapskate twat.

Okay, well, might not be

funny now, but, you know,

in the grand scheme of things.

Or not.

I'm so sick of living like this.

We should have our own place.

We'll find somewhere.

We will.

Somewhere with even

tackier carpets.

I can get on to

the letting agencies.

I'm free this afternoon.

We'll be okay.

Yeah.

Here will do.

Don't be daft,

I'll drop you off.

No, it's fine.

Don't want you doing

that to your car.

You want your mates

to take the piss.

No?

I'll see you later.

Love the car.

I thoroughly enjoyed

the chocolate biscuits.

Every time.

Why not?

There you are.

Oh.

I'm so sorry.

Is everything alright?

I was gonna say, it's

probably cold by now.

No, no, it's fine, thanks.

I'm awash with tea.

Jess says I drink too

much of the stuff.

Oh, she's only

looking after you.

And your bladder.

Take care, sweetheart.

Thank you so much for

being so understanding.

Oh, well.

Been a tough couple of weeks,

what with bills, the car

needing four new tires.

It's all those bloody potholes.

Back to normal

next month, though.

And like we said, we'll

give you a bit more.

Talk about 200,

much appreciated.

- Take care.

- You too, love.

Bye.

That was bizarre.

The hunt

for international superstar

and south lake billionaire,

Jean Claud Miraud,

continues with a recent

Sighting of him off the

north coast of France

earlier today.

It is understood he was trying

to cross the English

channel in an attempt

to evade French authorities

over his recent

To Hereford now,

where concerns are

growing for the welfare

of three missing persons.

Detectives released a statement

that the three were last seen

leaving the Lutt

Cinema in West Street

at approximately

11:55 pm on Saturday.

They are eager to speak

with the owner of

a black transit van

seen parked in the street

right of the disappearance.

- Hello!

God, you scared

the shit out of me.

Did Mike give you a lift?

Yeah.

How'd you get on with

letting agencies?

That bad, eh?

Yeah.

Well,

we'll find a solution.

We always do.

Worst case scenario,

we'll have to put you

to work on Castle Green.

I'd do it myself, but,

don't look that great in heels.

Shut up.

What?

Quite rather fancy myself

as a bit of a pimp.

Oh, my god.

Have you called your mom lately?

No.

You should.

I know.

But...

I know, I'll call her

at the end of the week.

Leave it.

Okay.

You sure about that Castle

Green thing, though?

Ken.

Is that you, Ken?

Of course it's me.

Who else do you think it is?

Here, darling.

What's up?

Nothing.

Just glad you're home.

Everything alright?

Fine.

Just been one of those days.

We're out of beer.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'll get some in for tomorrow.

How was your day?

Uh, so-so.

Still haven't finished that

flaming battle job,

cowboy installation.

Christ, you should see it.

They have massive pipes

all over the place.

Bloody nightmare.

Visitors?

- Sue and Jeff.

On the cards again.

What do they want this time?

Ah, they just called in

all the way back from town.

Seemed very grateful

about something.

Water's still hot.

Why don't you jump

in the shower?

Yeah, in a minute.

What were they so

grateful about?

Oh, nothing important.

You know what they're

like, full of themselves.

I stopped listening

after a while.

Just as

long as they weren't

trying to squirm their way

out of paying back the cash.

What have you done?

They just asked

if they could defer

this month's payment.

They've been having

a bit of a hard time.

Oh and you said yes.

I knew this would

happen, I knew it.

Shouldn't have lent

them four quid,

never mind four grand.

The sly bastards knew

better than to call in

when I was here.

No wonder they were grateful.

And you gave them cake.

Oh, they'll be back

on track next month.

They will be.

- Better bloody be.

You have to stop being so nice.

They ask you again,

you say no, okay?

Okay.

Remember,

that's our holiday fund.

They don't get it back in time,

it's bye bye Las Vegas,

and hello Blackpool.

I won't be happy.

Me neither.

It's alright to say no.

Want some tea?

I thought takeaway

tonight, yeah?

You up for that?

Always.

Thank god.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Ken.

Do you ever wonder

where all the time went?

Frequently.

Nobody warns you

about that, do they?

Nope.

Not your parents, school.

Life, eh?

It should carry a good

until forewarning.

Do you see

the beauty of it?

Now, do you realize

what we've done?

Look at them.

No, please.

Look at them!

Why are you doing this?

We will be

forever dancing.

Thank you.

We've got

to talk about horror slightly.

Halloween eve.

So, what better day than to

turn to modern heritages most-

Do you want a hand?

No, tah.

I'm alright, Frank.

I'll be done shortly.

You sure about that?

Hey, you got a minute?

Yeah, come with me.

They

were later discovered

by a local group of ramblers

last Sunday afternoon.

- Get on the bus.

Forensic investigators

are now looking to determine

the age of the remains.

And their detectives

are confident

that they are related

to the recent

disappearances in the area.

The investigation continues,

and we will report on

any further information

as it comes through.

That's the way to do it.

That's the way to do it!

So you like puppet shows?

Sorry, I didn't

mean to startle you.

Fine, it's fine.

I just hate those things.

What, puppets?

So you like dragons.

I don't think we're supposed

to like dragons, are we?

No, they're just misunderstood.

The bad boys of mythology.

But they're not, really.

They just want to survive.

You talk about them

as if they're real.

They are.

They're also magical, powerful,

and as old as time.

He hasn't said anything

to me or his mother,

who has actually known

him all his life.

Has he ever said anything

to you about Nashville?

I don't even know where it is.

And he doesn't like

country and western.

He said Dolly Parton

is an abomination.

I wanted Hawaii,

and he knew that.

Is this supposed to

be a heart or a bum?

I wish he'd stop booking things

without talking to

me about it first.

Am I wrong here?

Am I being selfish?

It's not for me to say.

Hawaii is a special place,

and I've always had my-

It's just a fucking holiday.

Go or don't go, I don't care!

Beth.

Sorry, I'm sorry,

I'm really sorry.

I didn't mean it.

No, you're right.

It's not important in the

grand scheme of things,

and we're very lucky.

No Ally, please, it's me.

I haven't been sleeping well.

Don't know how to explain it.

Try.

I've never felt

like this before.

It's like I'm losing myself.

Fading away, I can feel it,

and it's getting worse.

I think you're being

a bit hard on yourself.

It's only been a few months.

We all miss Ken.

And if we feel like that,

then what must you

be going through?

What do you mean?

What are you talking about?

All I'm saying is,

you need to give

yourself time to grieve.

You're bound to be forgetful.

- Stop!

Just stop.

Where are we going, Frank?

I want to show you something.

What do you think?

Is this somewhere you

could see yourself living?

No, I don't know...

Are you okay?

I have to go.

Beth, wait.

I really need to go.

Alright, but let

me come with you.

I forgot.

I forgot that he was dead.

He isn't here anymore.

I see him, Allyson,

all the time.

As clearly as I see you now.

Last night, this morning...

Oh Beth.

Tell me I'm not losing my mind.

Oh God!

Don't be on your own.

Ken?

It's only me.

Hello love.

This is a surprise.

Yeah, I was just down the road.

Chest and back wax.

Body builder, big baby.

He blubbed all the

way through it.

I'll put the kettle on.

Oh I'm okay, actually.

Why don't you come

to ours for dinner?

Do you fancy a curry?

You've been talking to Ally.

She's worried about you.

What's up?

Mom?

- Nothing.

Just adjusting to

being on my own.

Your dad's still...

He's still a presence

in the house.

I know.

How's Connor?

Yeah, he's good.

We've been given notice

to leave the flat.

You know,

you can always move in

with me for a while.

Both of you can.

If you don't find somewhere.

Oh thanks, mom.

Something will turn

up, it always does.

We were offered a place today.

It's way out of our price range.

I'd help out, if I can.

Oh, it's cool.

We already turned it down.

What's wrong?

Needs a lot of work.

Yeah, I suppose.

Do you see yourselves

living in the country?

Maybe.

I don't know, really.

I don't really care where it is,

as long as it's our own place.

This will be all yours one day.

Don't talk like that.

Well none of us

are here forever.

Stop.

Set, 9:30.

Oh, bollocks.

- How's that?

- That's good.

Oh, so is that.

- That's it.

More pressure?

- Yeah.

Oh you have some

nasty knots there.

Yeah.

God, I needed this.

- Oh that's it.

That's it, you're done.

Don't stop.

Sit up, I want to talk to you.

Oh, this don't sound good.

I don't know if it is.

Or at least, I think it is.

Or, it could be.

I think I may have found a way

for us to afford that house.

I told you before,

we're not offing your mom.

Would you just be

serious for one second?

Okay.

This is my serious face.

Oh I'm being very serious.

I'm listening, tell me.

Okay, you might not like it.

But hear me out.

Sweet dreams, eh love?

Ken, do you believe

in the coincidence

between dreams and reality?

No.

I only ever used to

have pleasant dreams.

Why oh why do you always start

to make conversations when

I'm about to drop off?

At least, I only

remember the good ones.

I was a happy kid,

had a happy life.

Oh yes.

I did have one

recurring nightmare.

Kept coming back for a while.

Goodnight.

You don't want to know.

It's stupid.

I was chased by a

Mr. Punch puppet.

Sounds stupid, but

it was really scary.

It was.

A great big hand,

and red mottled face.

Big nose and chin,

grinning at me.

That's what comes from eating

too much cheese late at night.

Go to sleep.

I'm trying.

Oh, mom.

Oh, I'd wish you'd knock.

Is that Earl Gray, with milk?

See you tonight.

Don't overdo it.

Not a lot to do.

Make sure she remembers

to have some lunch.

Yeah yeah yeah, look.

I think you should

unpack some boxes later.

I'm beginning not

to notice them.

That's not good.

What's your hurry?

Won't be long.

Where are you off to?

A little exploring.

Don't worry, I've got

my phone if I get lost.

Do you even know

how to use that thing?

Oh...

It's quiet?

I mean, the venue

itself lends itself to it,

but we'll be right in, sir.

Different locations,

aren't they?

To be honest with you,

it's totally up to you

what you do with it.

There once

was a girl called Maude.

We need to stop

meeting around dragons.

Have we met?

Sorry, my memory's not

what it used to be.

Dragons are misunderstood.

That.

That was you.

Although technically,

it's not a dragon.

It's a Wyvern.

A Wyvern?

I thought Wyvern

House, where we live,

I thought it must have

been named after the river.

You have a house

named after a dragon?

Impressive.

I don't know about that.

There's something about this

place, this village, it's,

it's like I've been here before.

Maybe you have.

It's possible.

I've forgotten so many things.

Why is that, do you think?

Fuck you.

Beth?

What's wrong?

Alright.

Easy, yeah, I can't

hear you too well.

Where are you?

Alright, look.

Don't worry, I can find

my phone you, okay?

Just stay where you are.

I'll be there soon as.

Oh, fuck.

Next time I expect

you to be here

to show them around.

Yeah, I understand that.

But you'll be making the

best part of a tidy sum

when they sell.

I do not expect to have

to do your job for you.

Yeah, okay.

I don't know what his name was.

He said you turned him.

Well didn't you?

I don't know.

Maybe he read a

blurb in your window.

Yeah, I'll tell him.

Okay, yeah.

Bollocks.

Is that you, mate?

Just been on to

Prescott's Estate agents.

They want you to get in touch.

Probably...

Hello?

Beth?

Come on, Dorothy.

I have a feeling we're

not in Kansas anymore.

You walked all this way?

Through fields?

Suppose you didn't fly.

Ass.

You'll be hiding your

own Easter eggs soon.

Hilarious.

You alright?

I'm fine.

I just lost my bearings.

I feel very silly.

You're a bit out of the way.

I know.

I was never very

good at geography.

Geography.

Right.

You know, what you did for us,

we're so grateful.

- Oh no, no.

No, if you hadn't come

in with us on the house,

we'd never been

able to afford it.

I know you didn't like

the place at first.

It was just a bit strange

at first, that's all.

It's okay now.

We all miss him, you know.

Do you remember that summer?

We did that barbecue.

He made his famous burgers.

God, they were disgusting.

Yeah, proper rank.

It was good though, wasn't it?

It really was.

The church.

Connor, please, I need

to check on something.

- Anybody home?

- No, no one's here.

Yoohoo, Beth?

We did say one

o'clock, didn't we?

It's 20 past.

Maybe she thought

we weren't coming.

Where's the bedroom?

More like she's forgot.

Either way, where's

the bloody money?

Maybe she's locked

herself in the attic.

Like Anne Frank.

Have you tried calling her?

Straight to answering machine.

It's bigger than I thought.

It will look lovely

when it's finished.

Have they got a cat?

There's a slash.

I'm gonna piss myself.

Here, kitty kitty...

I couldn't believe

it when I saw it.

Isn't it amazing?

Yeah.

Hello.

You took your time.

Oh, tell me you didn't

do a number two.

I see you're

interested in our dragon.

I assume you know the tale.

The creature was found

when it was very young.

By a girl called Maude.

She fed it.

She loved it.

It grew up.

Got fed up on a diet

of milk and vegetables.

Started to steal local

cattle and sheep.

It got a taste for meat.

It angered the farmers,

who attempted to destroy it.

But of course, inevitably,

they sealed their own fate

and marched to their death.

Some say the local

squire's son killed it.

Others say,

That it never left.

It stays, hidden,

waiting patiently,

in the darkness of Wyvern Hill.

Oh, wet feet.

Ham and coleslaw

Sammy and a cuppa?

Yeah, I'll do it.

No, let me.

It's the least I can do.

Okay, thanks.

You know.

It's great waking

up to a mug of tea

on the bedside

table every morning,

but you really don't

need to do that.

Point taken.

You're not here

to look after us.

Yes, but,

I hope you don't mind me asking.

But who are you?

Fair one.

You do think we

did the right thing

moving mom in with

us, don't you?

I think so, yeah.

Thanks.

You know, not every

guy would agree

to move in with his girlfriend

and his girlfriend's mom.

Well, she's a good egg.

She really likes you.

She needs to see

someone, though.

Well I told her about

the morning tea business.

Oh, what did she say?

Yeah, she got it.

Oh, brilliant.

You'll be making

the tea from now on.

Oh will I, now?

Know your place.

Mom, what's wrong?

What's the matter?

It was walking across

the bed, it was on me!

What was?

Nothing.

It was nothing.

I'm so sorry.

What did you see, mom?

What was your nightmare about?

It was silly.

It was a nightmare I

used to have as a kid.

You'd laugh if I told you.

I want to help you,

but I don't know what to do.

I should see my doctor.

I'm frightened.

We'll be here for you, okay?

Whatever happens, we'll

get you through this.

Ah, for fuck's sakes.

Oh!

For fuck's sakes!

No no.

No, it's not that

sort of emergency.

I've already explained.

It's for my mom, not for me.

That's the best you can do?

Really?

Yes.

That's fine, yeah.

Thank you.

27th, 9:00 am.

That's the earliest we can

get you an appointment.

Two weeks.

It's fine.

I can wait.

It doesn't look like

we've got much choice.

Are you gonna be okay?

I'm not completely dotty yet.

Oh, well don't say that.

Well, you know what I mean.

Look, have some rest today.

Love you.

Daft girl.

I love you, too.

In a paper kit,

going in and making

it different colors.

And you know, even

though you've got that-

Fucking hell.

Kill me now.

Oh, what the hell?

Oh, oh...

Oh god!

Hi, it's Sue.

Leave a message.

Hi Sue, it's Beth.

This is awful, I don't know

how I could've missed you.

Please call me when

you get this message.

Thanks, I'll try Jeff.

- Hi, it's Jeff.

- Oh Jeff.

Please leave a message.

I've just left a

message with Sue.

I'm coming 'round in an Uber.

Please, please call me.

Lots of love, Beth.

It's Beth!

Hi, it's Sue.

Leave a message.

Sue, it's Beth again.

Please ring me.

Not in.

Oh, hello.

Do you know where they've gone?

I don't, sorry.

I haven't seen them

since yesterday.

What?

Yeah, I've been in all the time.

They left around

12:00, half 12:00.

Haven't been back since.

Poor old George, bless him,

he's been barking all night.

I was actually going

to go check in on him.

Have you got a key?

Oh George, there you are.

There's a good boy.

Hello?

They're definitely not in.

You can tell when

a house is empty.

What did you just say?

You can tell when

a house is empty?

Yes.

Yes you can.

We were just...

You were just having

a conflab about me.

You're worried

about me, I get it.

Beth, we were just

having some us time.

We need to talk.

This is important.

You think I'm in the

early stages of dementia.

Well, I might be.

That I probably am.

I forget things,

I imagine things,

but I'm not mad.

I don't make you cups of tea

in the morning, I never have.

Fruit bowls don't

smash by themselves

and sweep up their shards.

I found a piece of glass

on the kitchen floor.

It cut me.

I didn't imagine that.

Slow down!

Something very

strange is going on.

Somebody's determined to

make me think I'm nuts.

- Of course they are.

- Who?

I don't know.

I haven't thought about it.

Sue and Jeff are missing.

- What?

Yesterday, God, it must

have been when we were out.

I found an envelope

with some money in it.

They're repaying a loan

month by month, never mind.

Sue had written on

the envelope the date,

and sorry to miss

you kind of thing.

They haven't been

back home since.

What are you saying?

Something's happened to them?

- Yes.

No, I don't know, but

something weird is going on.

They haven't been

back to their house.

The dog was left

alone overnight.

They love that dog, like a kid.

There could be any

number of reasons

why that might have happened.

Yes, and none of them good.

And Connor, I would never

just barge into your bedroom

without your permission.

Least of all to leave

you a cup of tea.

Even if I was losing

it, I wouldn't do that.

So what are you saying?

We've got a ghost butler.

Hey, you can cut

the attitude, no.

Something is going on.

Hi, it's Sue.

Leave a message.

Night night.

Connor.

Ken, Ken!

Hello, sweetheart.

Come back to bed.

Who the hell are you?

You know who I am.

That's

the way to do it.

That's the way to do it.

Connor!

You're going to

miss the finale, Beth!

Where's your phone?

I left it in my room.

We can't leave Connor!

- We have to!

We need to get out of here.

- Who are they, mom?

- I don't know!

Where's the key?

Where are you?

He's coming, Beth!

Hey.

Rectal reject.

That's the way to

do it, Mr. Punch.

Isn't that right, Beth?

That's the way to do it.

Listen to me.

Just run, don't worry about me.

I won't be far behind you.

Get to Frank's

farm, call for help.

I'm not leaving without you.

I said go!

Beth.

I'm ready for you.

Who are you?

There once was a girl.

Called Maude.

There once was a

girl called Maude.

Who picked up a

strange creature.

And brought it to her home.

You need to be strong

now, for our daughter.

Open your eyes.

Finally, you are awake.

Beth.

My Beth.

See, Beth.

See.

Now,

now we dance.

That's

the way to do it.

That's the way to do it.

No, no!

That's

the way to do it.

That's the way to do it.

Nice work, Mr. Punch.

Surprise!

Oh!

You have front row tickets.

Why are you doing this?

Now Beth.

Don't you just love the

randomness of it all?

We did all this for you.

We've listened to everything.

You like dragons.

I don't think we're

supposed to like dragons.

So lost.

So perfect.

The one we had always

been looking for.

The raw material that artists

can only hope for

once in a lifetime.

You see, Beth.

We did all of this for you.

You, Beth.

You are our masterpiece!

Now.

Smile for the audience.

Take your bow.

It's alright, love.

Let go.

You don't have to see this.

Let go, come home.

Beth.

And now, for the grand finale.

Please don't do this.

No!

Yes.

Remember that Summer, Beth.

Poof.

And she's gone.

Truly,

beautiful.
