The Haunting of Bly Manor - Season 1 Edit

A a few minutes more.

A bubble gnome.

A cook, groundskeeper. They stay in town.

A creature under my bed.

A creature!

A full time position in a beautiful country manor

A full time position, it said. Live in, at that,

A ghost story.

A great good place,

A great good place. Heaven for the children.

A great, good place.

A life in America, at that.

A promising young woman.

A real difference.

A tiny game of Flora's to keep us all safe.

A year focused on the wrong person

About school.

About school.

About what?

Admit it, you're all sick of me.

Again, this story isn't mine,

Ah.

Ah.

All he did was talk about you two.

All right, I'll start. [sniffs]

All right, my turn. [clears throat]

All right, then.

All right.

All right. [sighs]

All the time.

All the world's vices in disguise of its graces.

Almost done.

Almost no one even remembers how she was when her mind hadn't gone.

Alone in the country

Alright, James?

An emptiness that called out to be explored.

And a dirty laugh.

And all I could do was just…

And all she could see of the park, were empty,

And all the good stuff.

And Bly of all places.

And covered up. But underneath it all,

And even more special…

And everyone in this house is so lucky…

And good night to you, too, Flora.

And he's splendid.

And I feel like this is, um…

And I have seen it every month since

And I just wanted to give us a night where…

And I miss her.

And I thought that was quite silly.

And I was walking around dead.

And I…

And I…

And I'm happy to say, he knows it.

And if a child gives the effect,

And if anyone can bring Miles and Flora back to themselves,

And if I find out you've not been relaxing,

And if that scares you as much as it scares me,

And it had bones for hands.

And it hurts me when you say that.

And it knew my name.

And it said it wanted to do awful things.

And it was reaching out, and it knew my name.

And it yawned open to welcome her home.

And it's easy to get stuck.

And it's not exactly short.

And it's perfectly splendid.

And it's perfectly splendid.

And it's time for bed.

And Jamie found Flora.

And little Flora just…

And look how that turned out.

And Miles.

And my mom…

And no going on the pa****t.

And now, their dead governess.

And now…

And once you have, we'll have to show you the rest.

And she loved me…

And she was punished for it.

And she's even prettier than I imagined.

And so am I.

And soon I'll let her go, too.

And talk about the people they'd lost.

And that's enough bad luck for two children to bear,

And that's it.

And that's the preferred outcome.

And that's totally cool.

And the nastiest beetles.

And their kids really miss them.

And then I suppose she was my…

And then it clicked. They've lost someone.

And then it was just what we were doing.

And then Kyle tells me that kissing is how you get a girl pregnant,

And then, she… [sighs]

And they're perfectly splendid.

And this is Owen.

And this is where our parents used to live.

And this job pays the bills, while I'm here.

And this must be Mrs. Grose.

And to give you this.

And to see her in the days leading up to it.

And too little of you.

And we're going to learn

And what I want is to be the man that gets to be with this girl,

And where don't we go?

And you know what I learned?

And you said, "Good morning, Mrs. O'Mara.

And you try to help…

And you're all tucked in.

And, eventually, I would feel how I was supposed to.

And, so, I said…

And, um…

And, um… well, take it up, probably.

And, you know, there are leeches in there. Horrid little things, like vampire slugs,

And…

And…

Another time, maybe.

Another turn of the screw…

Any chance for a brew?

Anyone got any old bones to throw?

Anything that happened there.

Anything that happened there.

Anyway, the less said about him, the better.

Anyway…

Anyway… Peter let me have wine sometimes

Are we?

Are you ready for this?

Are you still on American time?

Aren't there.

Aren't you joining us?

As I was sayin',

As sun, clouds, and rain would appear without hint or warning,

As the sun disappeared,

As though the house itself had inhaled deeply

As though time and nature held…

At least as you've described.

At least for tonight.

At the end.

Bad memories, bad marriage.

Because from here on in,

Because I want to warn you all,

Because in America, "pants" mean "trousers."

Because it doesn't belong to you.

Because you're my favorite.

Bed!

Bed!

Been in England long?

Before the end of the season.

Before they passed.

Being worn away a little bit every day.

Better every day, I reckon.

Blimey. [clears throat]

Both of them trying in their own way, I think.

Build a pile of old bones and burn away the shadows.

But challenging, both.

But everybody could see and hear me.

But here's Dani Clayton.

But I don't think this would suit any of them.

But I saw your ad six months ago.

But I think we are old enough to know what we want,

But I'm feeling better already.

But I'm happy to watch the children before bed if you'd like a moment.

But in the weeks after Miss Jessel there…

But it could go on for quite

But it is full of ghosts of all sorts.

But it's certainly a good rule for you and your brother

But it's just so expensive,

But mind the stairs, they're brutal on the knees.

But nobody else knew,

But not a bad cook, turns out.

But Owen isn't here.

But she died on the grounds.

But she's so, so glad you're here.

But still so…

But that was the most awkward job interview of my entire life.

But then I learned a secret.

But then I thought…

But then to think…

But then we must show her the statue garden.

But to atone for the moments she didn't remember them.

But we had to pretend anyway.

But you have to promise me something.

But you must.

But you're doing great.

But, like the very weather at Bly, his moods proved quick to change.

But, on some level, it must be a relief.

But, wherever she is,

But…

But…

But…

Bye, sweetheart.

C could I have a glass of milk?

Called me by my dad's name, or her brother's.

Can I get out and walk the rest of the way?

Can I get out now?

Can I play with my dolls?

Can you, uh…

Can't say I fault the general principle.

Children, you will call her Miss Clayton, like we agreed.

Chosen someone who might help her burn away the shadows.

Christ, the state of you.

Christ.

Come and see!

Come in.

Come on, Owen, time to go home.

Come on. Both of you.

Come see what I found!

Come up to London in trepidation to answer in person an advertisement…

Come with me for a minute. I've got a surprise for you. Come on.

Cry, or… [sniffles]

Danielle, thank you for daring me to do it. [laughs]

Danielle…

Danielle's mom is gonna kill the both of us.

Dead boyfriend!

Dead doesn't mean gone.

Dementia is a savage thing.

Devote yourself to a life of the mind. Run!

Did he ask about us?

Did he seem relieved?

Did I pinch you?

Did you Did you find anyone?

Did you know that almost half of marriages these days

Did you?

Didn't seem much of anything. Shell shocked.

Didn't you like it?

Dig in. Some of this wine hasn't seen daylight

Disappointing.

Disappointing.

Discipline more than ever, I fear.

Do not end up in divorce?

Do you like games, Dani?

Does look a bit like you're trying to scandalize the village.

Dominic and Charlotte.

Don't call on me unless it's an emergency.

Don't leave your room at night.

Drive safe.

Earlier, didn't I?

Eddie says you've been so busy at school.

Eddie, I was thinking we could just tone it all down.

Eddie!

Eddie! Eddie!

Eddie.

Edmund says the same thing.

Enjoy.

Even a boarding school once, like you.

Even still.

Even the worst ones. [laughs]

Except sometimes, by the end, she forgot that.

Except without the water.

Exceptional children, as I said.

Exceptional, really, my niece and my nephew.

Expanding as it held its breath for the morning.

Face down.

Fl Flora had a nightmare.

Flora found her.

Flora, don't.

Flora, look.

Flora!

Flora?

Flora.

For a second, I thought you were gonna say

For Owen, I mean.

For pity's sake. Will we ever hear the end of Peter Quint?

Forever until you die?

Forgive me.

Fourth grade.

From the old English, meaning "bone fire."

Full of ice cubes…

Full time as well.

Full time, live in.

Funeral starts at four.

Gazing out, she found that the terrace and the whole place,

Get down on one knee, and I asked her to marry me.

Give it up, mate! It's over!

Go off and do drugs on a beach in Bali.

God, is that…

God, it's the most beautiful sound in the world.

God.

God. My God, these children.

God…

God…

Good Christ.

Good evening, Miss Clayton.

Good night, Dani.

Good night, Owen.

Good night, sweet girl.

Good night, you lovely young lady.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night…

Good.

Goodness, I wa I was miles away.

Grave rubbings.

Guys!

Guys.

Half a teaspoon of Marmite in the gravy.

Hannah Grose in Paris.

Hannah.

Hate to say it,

Have Miles or you…

Have you ever taught a classroom of 25 kids?

Have you?

He died and I, uh…

He made me a macaroni and cheese sandwich once,

He misses you both.

He needs structure,

He said as much.

He said she's getting better.

He says that, but he leaves earlier and earlier these days.

He shouldn't have done that.

He understands that funerals are for the living.

He used to stay every night for supper.

He was a wonderful young man, and you were a lovely couple.

He's so weird sometimes.

He's the cook,

Hello, everyone.

Hello?

Hello?

Her choice, to be blunter,

Here you go.

Here, come here.

Here's a horrifying statistic.

Hey again.

Hey, Poppins.

Hey, stand down, Poppins.

Hi, Flora.

Hi, Miles.

Hi, Miles.

Hi!

Hm?

Hm.

Hm.

Hm.

Hm.

Hm.

Hm.

Hm.

Hmm.

Honestly, you don't have to go if you don't want to.

Honey, I'm I… I'm worried.

Hoping we'd, uh, get round to that one.

How W Why are you doing this to me?

How are you still standing?

How did you know Owen was coming?

How long was I out?

How perfectly splendid!

How she would…

How to pick them all up before we go to sleep, okay?

I always hoped I'd have a daughter I could give this to.

I am so sorry, Owen. Uh

I am so…

I am sorry.

I bet Mrs. Grose can't wait to get me out of her hair.

I brought some lasagna.

I can scrub up when I need to.

I can't stand to look at them.

I can't tell anymore, personally.

I can't wait.

I can't.

I cannot sleep without it, I'm afraid.

I could. I could make a difference.

I couldn't bear to throw them away, so I thought…

I did find some…

I did.

I didn't even need to be sad anymore.

I didn't have parents growing up either.

I didn't say it was your favorite. It's Owen's favorite.

I didn't.

I do like that young woman.

I don't Eddie…

I don't know what to say.

I don't know what you mean.

I don't know why brilliant young women are always punished.

I don't know, I don't think we have to go so… crazy with it.

I don't know, it's a silly thought. It might be a bad idea.

I don't like funerals either.

I don't think fairness comes into it, dear.

I don't think I can promise that.

I don't think you can blame that on the dress.

I don't want to just yet.

I escaped for a bit

I expect that you will tell me. I trust you will.

I figure I don't know the specifics, but I know how to handle kids.

I got a job.

I guess I…

I guess you didn't make it to the funeral either.

I had a funeral in my own life.

I had nothing but respect for Owen's mom, but…

I have a story.

I have a very particular system.

I have been, and I remain, a very happy woman.

I haven't been there since…

I haven't quite figured out tea yet, so…

I hope I didn't startle you.

I hope you know that I mean that. Come here, come on

I hope you know that you're still a really important part of this family.

I I brought something else, too. It's…

I I hate it.

I I have to make this right.

I I…

I I'm sorry?

I just haven't got much sleep lately.

I just wanted to say how happy we all are that you're here.

I knew you wouldn't be frightened.

I know how hard it can be.

I know I didn't get the job,

I know I keep saying that, but there's no other word.

I know what it feels like…

I know what loss is.

I know, that's actually why

I love you, Mom.

I love you.

I love…

I mean, he's the lucky one in this equation.

I mean, right…

I mean, the really old days,

I mean, we'd have to take it in, of course,

I mean, you'll find it much quieter out here.

I must claim my right as a slightly drunk, completely jet lagged Englishman

I need a minute.

I need a…

I never quite saw the point of tricks.

I promise, I don't need you to be my date to Owen's mom's funeral.

I promise, I've heard it all.

I remember the first time I met you.

I remembered what you told me.

I said no games.

I see him.

I see you every day.

I should go home.

I should have said something sooner.

I should… I should go, shouldn't I?

I shouldn't think so.

I sometimes, I… It's like…

I suppose so.

I suppose that is pretty special.

I think I burned it.

I think I ought to be allowed a glass of wine.

I think it's silly, sort of, but…

I think she wishes she could swap us.

I think she wishes she could swap us.

I think so.

I think they would be too.

I think you're surprisingly sane, considering.

I thought he was Peter Quint.

I thought I saw…

I thought I was going to die too.

I thought she was joking!

I thought you might like to have these.

I thought you said you were making our favorite for dinner.

I thought you were off to town. For the funeral.

I told Miles you'd be pretty.

I understand.

I wanted to finish them all

I wanted…

I was attacked, you know.

I was just really, really sad.

I was so scared,

I was sure of it.

I was the same way.

I was wrong. It's actually fine.

I was, uh…

I wasn't dead.

I wonder…

I would hate to break…

I, uh, I…

I, uh…

I, um…

I, um…

I, um…

I, um… I've been drifting lately. Quite a bit, I'm afraid. [chuckles]

I…

I…

I… [stammering]

I'd be relieved, though.

I'd broken…

I'd just like for you to tell me the truth.

I'll call you… when I have the number.

I'll co hol you later.

I'll do it in blue, to match your eyes.

I'll make it.

I'm a lot braver than people think.

I'm being serious.

I'm Dani.

I'm Danielle, and I'm gonna be Edmund's new best friend."

I'm extraordinarily busy.

I'm glad she's here

I'm gonna have to get water on them to be sure.

I'm honestly so, so curious.

I'm just gonna finish up here and see you in a few minutes, okay?

I'm just so, so pleased you're here.

I'm not gonna ask if you're all right, 'cause I don't like being lied to.

I'm not running from anything,

I'm quite frightened.

I'm really proud of you.

I'm saying this 'cause I want you to know that I understand.

I'm so proud of my sons,

I'm so sorry, Danielle.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry, just…

I'm sorry, Miss Clayton.

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry?

I'm sorry?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Am I interrupting you? [chuckles awkwardly]

I'm sorry. May I come in?

I'm sure Miss Clayton is eager to see the house.

I'm sure you're right, sweetheart.

I'm used to it coming in a pitcher.

I'm what?

I'm…

I've actually never liked Bly.

I've looked and looked. But…

I've lost people a few ways in my life.

I've never told anybody that.

I've quite a bit of experience with children, Mr. Wingrave.

If I saw a dead woman, a dead nun, no less, crying in the corners,

If that's even possible.

If you don't, that's all perfectly well and fine.

If you fall, you can injure yourself, and the stairs are not forgiving.

If you want to.

Imagination.

Imagination.

In in fact,

In a classroom, but this is a full time, live in position.

In all that time, a lot of kids have tried to scare me in a lot of different ways,

In Bly,

In his old family home in Essex.

In one of the biggest ways people can be.

In that respect, your classroom experience may actually be of use.

In the house or under the dresser?

In the States.

Including me.

Is he here now?

Is it?

Is one of the most stressful things you can do.

Is she feeling better?

Is that me?

Is that something you used to do at school?

Is to accept that the work of loving them

Is worth the pain of losing them.

It belongs to someone I knew.

It hurt.

It only felt like dying…

It really is just a smelly old pond.

It really is perfectly splendid to meet you.

It really is very silly, isn't it?

It seems odd to me too.

It seems odd… to me, to be frank.

It was a horrible dream.

It was an accident.

It was as Flora had said.

It was exactly as Lord Wingrave had described

It was her own fault, to be blunt.

It was my mum.

It would keep for days in the fridge.

It's a great good place, the manor.

It's a talisman.

It's a…

It's actually quite impressive. No damage done.

It's all good.

It's all just perfectly splendid.

It's been a lot.

It's Flora.

It's hard to say.

It's just a dolly.

It's just lovely that you're here.

It's just you and me, then.

It's like fancy.

It's like fancy.

It's my fault. I'm sorry.

It's not fair on anyone.

It's not so bad

It's not the first time I've…

It's okay, okay? There's nothing to be scared of.

It's part of the sales package.

It's quite a dress.

It's up to the living to decide what they can and cannot bear.

It's very kind of you.

It's very pretty

It's your day off.

It's…

Jamie said that Owen said it was okay if we missed it.

Jesus, Dani, the same day?

Jesus.

Just a little something to make you feel more welcome.

Just a minute, really.

Just a minute.

Just a moment.

Just a silly thing, really.

Just eat your dinner.

Just for them.

Just here for the company.

Just promise me…

Just say…

Just shoot me.

Just tomorrow. Just after the reception, so we could just stumble upstairs.

Just…

Just…

Kind of heart.

Kind people.

Last summer.

Let her hang onto me

Let him into the house.

Let me do one for you.

Let me out!

Let me out!

Let me out! Let me out!

Let me try.

Let someone else cook for you for a change.

Let's get back.

Let's get some supper started for you children, shall we?

Let's get you two back to bed, okay?

Let's…

Literally telling me that you weren't up for this.

Loitering around my kitchen all day.

Look, I know it's been…

Look, I love a good ghost story, I just don't want to sleep in one.

Look, I'm not angry.

Look, I've been a teacher for nine years, Miles.

Look, you can talk to me about whatever you'd like.

Lord and Lady Wingrave

Losing yourself like that.

Lots of love.

Luckily, Danielle does not share my taste in men.

Made it nice.

Make sure these two don't chop their fingers off?

Margaret Sharma.

Maybe a repairman or something?

Maybe I can make a difference.

Maybe just…

Maybe she feels well enough to eat,

Maybe you…

Mid twenties?

Miles gave it to me.

Miles was only eight. Flora, six.

Miles, my nephew, is back home from boarding school early.

Miles, you and I are a lot alike.

Miles, you've got some great grown ups.

Miles!

Miles!

Miles!

Mind you, I do appreciate the adult beverages.

Miss Clayton, is it?

Miss Clayton…

Mm hm.

Mm hm. Me and Miles will help. I can chop things up.

Mm hmm.

Mm hmm.

Mm hmm.

Mm.

Mm. It's fine, dear.

Mom says they make me look extinguished.

Moving from in there to under…

Mr. Wingrave told you about their parents, I'm sure.

Mrs. Grose says they're brutal on the knees…

Mrs. Grose,

Mrs. Grose, my trousers got wet in the graveyard,

Much.

My cupboard.

My dad died…

My family's country house.

My mom and dad weren't at theirs.

My mom says you can stay anytime.

My mom too.

My mom used to make this when she had to go away for work.

My mom.

My mum used to water mine down.

My niece.

Never mind the governess took her own…

No foreboding.

No matter what I did.

No more games, Miles.

No one wants the job.

No worries. Thank you.

No, he doesn't.

No, I decided to stay home.

No, I don't believe so.

No, I know. I know it's longer than I said, but I got a job.

No, I'm sorry.

No, no, no, only sometimes, when Henry asks me.

No, really, you can stay.

No, seriously.

No, she likes you.

No, thank you.

No, yeah, that's true.

No, you you don't have to

No!

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No. Judy, I I'm sorry, but I

Nonsense.

Not after what they've been through.

Not at bedtime.

Not ever.

Not forgiving in the least. Do you see?

Not in remembrance of those that she lost,

Not just yet.

Not much, I know.

Not now, I won't.

Not so long ago.

Nothing can fix that.

Now get some sleep.

Now you don't have to look after your mom anymore?

Now, I understand death.

Now, no one wants it.

Now, we're still pretty young,

Now, what's that?

Now, what's that?

Now, when I hear them…

Now!

Of course he does.

Of course not.

Of course.

Of course.

Of course.

Of course. I knew that about you right away.

Oh, a while.

Oh, and you're so pretty.

Oh, call me Dani. Hi there.

Oh, come on. No one?

Oh, damn it! Fallen soldier.

Oh, God, no need. [sniffs]

Oh, I

Oh, I… [clicks tongue]

Oh, I'm sorry, Judy, I, um…

Oh, is that right?

Oh, it was perfect.

Oh, it's a pleasure to meet you. Hannah Grose.

Oh, it's about that time

Oh, Miss Clayton,

Oh, my God, it's been almost a year

Oh, my sweet thing

Oh, no, not my cup of tea, the church in the village.

Oh, no.

Oh, no. No, not at all.

Oh, this.
