Welcome home, my love.
CHLOROFORM
Okay.
Who wants to give it try?
Somebody?
Anybody, please. We just studied this yesterday.
Somebody?
Anybody?
Tara?
It's okay. Come on.
Where are you looking at, freak?
Nothing.
I'm hurt!
Oh please, I need help.
Wait... What are you doing?
You're late... for your recital!
This is Classical 99.3.
- Hello. - I'm sorry.
I was waiting for you to wake up and...
I went and fell asleep.
So how are you feeling? You feel better?
It's alright.
I'm Judith Furik. I'm a nurse here at Saint Angelos.
- Saint Angelos? - Yes. We're in a hospital, darling.
Don't worry though. You're fine. You just have...
some mild abrasions.
What happened?
Well, I was hoping you would tell me that. You...
Well, the police... They found you dumped by the side of the road.
You were very drugged when you got here though.
You were mumbling about Greenwich?
Greenwich, Connecticut. That's where I live.
- Isn't that where we are? - No.
This is Stowe... Vermont.
Vermont?
Are you hungry?
- You know... I made you some cookies. - No. I really need to talk to my mother.
Oh sure.
There's the phone.
- Mom it's me. - Tara?
What time is it?
I was getting worried...!
Mother, listen. I'm in big trouble.
I must have fallen asleep with these stupid pills.
Mom, I need to come get me.
- Call a cab, baby... - Mom! I'm in Vermont!
43 Roads Park, Stowe.
43 Roads Park, Stowe!
Mom?
Let me get a pen.
Can I call you back in like five...
Mom! I was fucking kidnapped in fucking Vermont and I need some fucking help!
Can you call me back?
Mom!
Is everything alright?
- You poor dear. You must... - Please don't touch me.
Would you rather I just leave you alone?
I don't know. I don't know what to do.
I'm sorry.
Why? You're the only one that seems to care.
Look. I know that this is probably the last thing you want to do right now, but...
I need to ask you some medical questions, okay?
Over here.
Are you in good health?
Yeah.
Any chronic diseases?
No.
Transmittable diseases?
You know, like stuff in the blood.
God... No!
Have you been baptized?
- Why? - It's just on the form here.
No!
Now... this is a little delicate... um...
Have you had sexual intercourse?
Excuse me?
Well, I have to ask you because in case we have to do a rape test though.
No... No. I've never been with anybody.
Never a kiss?
A shame.
You're such a pretty girl, Tara.
How did you know my name?
Your backpack... You wrote your name inside your textbook.
I don't write my name in my textbooks.
Oh, it would be a long walk.
We're very isolated out here.
The next house is probably 5 miles.
- Where... where are we? - Calm down.
Help! Help! Help...
It's not what you think.
Judith?
I have asked you not to play with her.
I got you information, didn't I?
She fits the criteria.
If I left it up to you, we would know nothing.
Just calm down...
- What's happening? - Why are you doing this?
Hello...
Anybody out there?
I have a weapon!
Oh my God!
Help!
Somebody help us! We need help down here.
I can't swim!
No!
Baby, swim!
Swim!
Grab the rope. Grab the rope.
Come on breathe...
Are you okay?
Who did this to you?
Did that crazy lady and that guy upstairs... Did they do this to you?
You don't remember?
They drugged you.
You don't remember anything?
Johnny!
Johnny, I'm Tara.
Is there a way out of here?
Over here?
Even if we can get up there,
we're not going to get through the door without some sort of...
Tools!
Wait, wait, wait...!
"Get out before it wakes up!"
What is it?
Johnny?
Johnny, are you okay?
"Get out now before it's too late."
"Don't let it find you."
"Tell my parents I I love them."
"Get out now"
"Beware the fair haired child"
Anton, what are you doing?
This is my rehearsal room... boss.
Well, you'll get that tomorrow. But now, we have a lot of work to do.
You're late for your recital.
No, I don't have recitals, Anton.
That's what I said when I...
... picked up the girl.
You're late...
Why did I say that, Judith?
Well, we've... all been under a lot of stress!
Oh, yes.
Of course!
Anton, for God sake, what are you doing?
I'm just trying to see what color the room is today.
Burgundy, I think it was.
Or was it mauve?
The girl...
- She's young! - Oh, so were the others.
But the others were boys.
What's done is done. Well, just deal with it.
- It's my fault. - Anton?
- If I had known how to swim... - You stop it!
Anton?
You're my husband and I love you, but you cannot fall apart on me right now.
We have one night! One more night.
And our nightmare's over.
Burgundy! Yes... I think it was burgundy.
What do you think is in there?
Well, maybe we should just leave it and...
Leave it alone and hope it'll stay.
Alright, alright.
Okay.
This is what we're going to do.
I'm going to count to three.
When we open the door, whatever's in it, we're just gonna bash it!
Why? Do you have a better idea?
Okay.
Ready?
1...
2...
3.
Johnny?
What's going on here?
Johnny?
I'm out of here!
I wanna go home! I just wanna go home!
Johnny?
Oh my God! You're freezing!
I think you're going into shock.
What the hell did they give you?
Here, here. I gotta warm you up. Here.
Hold on to me.
Hold on.
Anton?
Have you started yet?
Nietzsche.
- What? - Friedrich Nietzsche.
German philosopher.
A terrible man.
Loved roses.
I remember we planted these when the baby was born.
Nietzsche said:
"Anything done out of love,
is beyond Good and Evil"
We're not evil then.
Are we, Judith?
I still love you, Judith.
Let's get started.
Happy Birthday!
Make a wish.
Can I try all my presents first?
- No, I think it is... - Come now...
It's not every day we turn 15, is it? Hmm...
Okay.
But be careful, the lake is cold, the water's deep.
Yeah, yeah. Don't worry.
Mum!
No!
Mum!
Keep swimming!
Honey, stop it!
Keep swimming, honey!
Baby!
Oh no...
In death as in life.
Yea either the darkness of death may overwhelm life.
Yea it with cease of breath and heartbeat,
thy loved one may live again.
Between the here and the hereafter lies a land of hope.
The fire should burn in you, the dead shall live again.
New blood... for old.
You've come.
Will you help us?
What is the cost?
Oh no!
- That is monstrous! - Shut up.
Judith, think of what it is asking?
Shut up...
Yes.
We accept.
Dust... now were my child.
Dust now is not!
How do you feel?
Sorry... I was fast asleep.
I was just trying to keep you warm.
"I don't mind."
It's not like we're married...
It's gotten worse.
I don't know where it's coming from.
Johnny?
Oh, you're gonna get better, Johnny. I promise.
You're gonna get your voice back and we're gonna get out of here. I promise.
Here. It's alright. I've got you.
What can I do for you?
How can I help?
- "Talk to me". - About what?
This? That's just some stupid comic **.
Okay! It's about a dream I had.
About this princess,
who gets exiled from her friends and family,
and... So she flees to the woods.
And that's where she meets them.
The people of Phanos.
And... they are these evil, evil creatures
that everybody is afraid of.
But they become friends and...
and they protect her... And they do anything for her.
And she would do anything for them.
"It's coming."
Johnny?
Oh no! Johnny!
Johnny!
Damn you, you fuck! You killed him!
Let me out of here!
Do what you have to my son.
Do it and come back to me.
What are you?
It's empty.

No, that's impossible!
Where did you get a book like this? This is crazy!
"To those who brought music into my life,
on the sad occasion of the death of their beloved son
"Jonathan"
"In this book we turn the music of life to them."
This guy was a student?
Your parents made a deal to bring him back from the death and the price was what?
Me?
Well, the price was what?
12 kids!
Twelve...
How often?
Once a month?
Every year.
Every year on your birthday.
Last...
So I'm the last one!
And then what? You'll be fully alive again and what? I'll be dead!
No!
Johnny, stop it! That is not your fault.
No, I'm not going to let you do that.
That's why they drugged you, isn't it?
So you won't remember.
So you wouldn't try and kill yourself.
But you do remember sometimes, do you?
That's when I found you.
Sweetheart?
She's the last one. After this...
No!
You don't understand, Johnny.
I'm your mother and I love you very much.
Haven't I always protected you. Haven't I always been there for you.
- You made him a monster! - I did that for him.
You did it for you!
Those kids, they were alive? They had parents who loved them!
Don't you think I know that?
Just shut up, Anton!
All this doesn't finish. Don't you see? The item on translation...
It said... Oh please. We got to get her out of there!
No! Anton...
If you let her out it will kill our son again.
Dad!
No...
Johnny, you can get through this.
No, you're good.
You're not a monster.
You can.
There's got to be another way.
Even if I did they would take somebody else.
I don't want their blood on my hands.
"I don't want yours."
"Forgive me."
"I forgive you Johnny"
Go ahead.
Welcome home, my love.
What do you think?
I wrote it for you.
It's Brahms!
Johnny, say something.
Johnny, what are you doing?
- Waiting! - For what?
You know, it's funny. I was always sort of jealous of you guys.
Your music. How talented you are.
He's still in shock.
I always thought I must have a talent for something.
It's strange...
I think I found it.
It turns out I'm really good at bargaining.
Johnny, what did you do?
I made a deal, Mom!
You had to give it what? 12 kids?
I bargained it down to two.
You want to know the best part?
Johnny!
They didn't have to be children.
Meet me in the recital room.
I was wondering when you'll be up.
Do I know you?
This is our home where I'll take care of you.
It's just some medication. It makes your memory a little fuzzy.
What happened to me?
You've been through a lot.
I'm afraid you're going to start remembering some things that...
aren't so pretty but...
I hope you'll get through it.
We've both been there.
Are we friends?
I'm Johnny.
I'm Tara.
I think!
Come on. I'll show you the lake.
