Original subtitles

I believe it's going to be like this for a little while longer, and then we

should arrive.

I honestly don't know what to expect.

My tutor suggested this guy's possible topic.

Apparently he's been living in complete isolation for around two decades.

But the job itself pays well, so that should go.

a fair way towards clearing my student debt and my rent for the next couple of

months. Gregory, my tutor, said he was going to be sending me some...

some advice.

On the guy, I mean.

All of my classmates are filming about hippies and bums and

some abstract subjects and I thought, well...

something that might be a little bit interesting.

Okay, well, it's not an email.

It's a video message.

Weird.

Edith, good morning.

Look at this.

Just came in this morning from purchasing.

I thought I'd give it a try. I've got to tell you, it's pretty good.

Modern.

All the bells and whistles.

Uh, listen, I...

a message to Victor last night about your arrival.

I also spoke to him last week and he's very excited.

He can be a bit of a character, but I don't think he'll be too much of a

problem.

Although, recently it's been a bit of a success that someone is watching him.

Try to work that into the story of your film if you could.

He doesn't socialize much.

Goes into town about once a month to get only what he needs, not much more, as

far as I know.

Anyway, don't jump right into it. Build it up, like you will in your final exam

film.

Do that, and I think you'll have your choice of jobs in the future.

You've been one of my best students, and I trust in your abilities.

One more thing.

You're probably not going to get much of a signal up there, but try to find a

high spot and text or send a video message if you need anything.

Hello?

Mr. Browning!

Hello?

Anyone here?

Let's start at home. Maybe no one ever answers.

Yes, I'm here.

Jesus Christ!

Who is the lady looking for?

Victor.

Victor Browning.

Unfortunately.

He no longer lives here.

Oh, um, has he moved?

It has been a long time.

He died.

What?

No, no, my... my cure said that he was gonna wait for me to be in my exam zone.

I'm afraid I cannot help you.

Goodbye.

Sorry,

what? You are a filmmaker, yeah?

So, how did I play the character?

The character?

I was acting.

I am Victor.

Gregory gave you my address, yeah?

Greg, yeah, Gregory, yeah.

Perhaps he failed to mention my humor is a bit abstract.

Come in.

I have been waiting for you.

I would say I would help you with your bag, but then I would be lying.

If I had to lift that, you could probably say goodbye to your movie.

It's fine. I can bring it in. It's not a problem.

Which is all that small now.

Oh, the camera. Yeah, they make them really small. I've got two more in my

They can do a lot, though. They're really good.

Feel free to bring your things.

Coffee?

Um, maybe later.

Thank you.

Shoes, please.

Oh, yeah.

Come in.

I won't buy it.

By the way, may I take a photograph

of you as a token of remembrance?

I don't meet many people.

Yeah, I guess.

Yeah, that's fine.

I am obliged to you.

Oh.

You're welcome.

Here.

Try this.

I'm sure you've never had anything like this before.

I don't usually drink coffee.

This is not the usual drink.

It's cold.

It's supposed to be.

Not good to drink it warm.

Oh, my God.

It's strong, huh?

Holy... Wow, that... Yeah.

It's called black insomnia.

There was a woman here months ago. She helped me a lot, and she drank it.

She drank two cups a day or so.

She said, uh, Brazil?

Guatemala and oh wait what is what is African country that begins

with the letter U Uganda

Uganda now the strongest copies from these

three countries have been blended it's terrible

but effective

It really wakes you up.

Hey, you have your own room right here. It's quite big and comfy, I think, and

probably the warmest.

It's okay. I've already found accommodation.

Thank you.

Oh, come on. Stop joking.

It's a nice big house. Big enough for you, too.

It used to function as a tourist accommodation for a while, so it still

quite a lot of beds. I haven't moved them.

The doors are lockable.

Try it out.

If you still can't sleep well, I know a good place you can go.

Okay, that's fine by me. Thank you.

Great.

I'm back.

Get something to eat.

I'll be right back.

Victor, I'm going to head into town if that's okay. I'll get some things to

up for the refrigerator.

Sure, no problem.

Oh, by the way, you need this.

Oh, gosh, that really could have waited. I didn't mean to disturb you. I think

I'm probably the only one in my class who's earning any money from this.

It's fine. It's yours.

this is for shopping oh okay um is there anything you'd like me to get any

favorites or anything i'll leave it to you okay

thank

you for being here i'm a bit tired so i'm going to finish

my work and put myself away

It's okay if we begin the real work tomorrow?

Yeah, sure, that's fine.

Take a walk.

Have a look around.

The forest is just around the corner.

It's beautiful.

Hi, Nana. It's only me. Have I arrived safe and sound?

Hello, darling.

Oh, I'm glad you called me.

And how are you? How's the play?

Oh, I wish you could see it. It's so peaceful and calm.

I'll send you some pictures if you like, but the line in the 4G is not too

great.

I am curious.

Did you find it easy to get there?

Yeah, everything was fine.

And what's your interviewee like? Is it easy to work with him?

He's a bit strange, but I can probably get used to him.

We're taking tonight off, so I'm just doing a bit of exploring before we start

tomorrow.

Oh, all right, my dear. You take care, and you let me know if I can help you

with anything.

If I can, I will send you a text or I'll give you a call or something, all

right? But I love you. Take care.

Bye. I love you too.

Bye -bye.

I think Victor's awake. I've just heard a bang, so I'm going to go and have a

look.

Victor?

Victor?

No, there's no bam going on.

Take that.

Victor?

All good. Okay.

Okay.

If you could please introduce yourself to the camera and just tell me that

you agree to participate in my exam film.

I'm sorry?

I was supposed to bring you a form to sign, but I completely forgot it.

I'll do you one by hand later.

My name is Victor Browning and I agree to be filmed and to make a

film.

It's okay? Perfect.

Thank you very much.

All right, let's start.

Why did you decide to withdraw from society?

completely move away from everything and everyone.

Perhaps you approve it was not far enough away.

Well, you know, I tried to fit in with people when I was younger, but I

think with rather little success.

When this piece of land became mine, there was a crumbling house on it.

there were only two other ones not far away that's it no more then more

and more people came i think it is impossible

to completely disappear from society

i no longer dream of it

and was a particular

It's fine.

So... What did you do before you moved here?

I was a taxi driver.

Trust me and the yellowing roadway and the occasional interesting

passenger.

As you see, I have no TV, no radio.

I don't need them.

I didn't even then.

I learned everything from my passengers without even asking them.

Princess Diana, the first female spaceship commander,

NATO bomb in Serbia,

the Rwandan genocide, sheep cloning, the first

DVD, a film about the Titanic, everything.

No TV, no newspapers, only me and

my passengers.

real interesting people.

So it really must have been a shock to the system to move away from it.

No, things are what things are.

After a while I stopped remembering, stopped searching,

stopped looking for why's.

trees whispering I'm sorry the trees have you ever

heard them whispering I can't say that I have I

have many times

but you have to be very careful to hear them

So, I've made her some sandwiches and...

Victor?

What's wrong?

The food.

What? Who?

The intruder.

I don't see anything.

It doesn't always show, only sometimes.

Victor, I don't see anything. At the large tree to the left.

So far, not bad.

I think I might go in with some deeper questions tomorrow because so

far we've got some pretty good stuff.

But more to the point, we've got some pretty weird stuff too.

Right now though, I'm not too sure how it's all going to come together. So I

guess we'll see.

He is a very strange guy.

Let's see what we get tomorrow.

it's been a long time since anyone made me anything oh well it's about time then

my wife used to but that was a long long time

ago enjoy your meal

Gregory!

You worthless piece of sh -

Victor, are you okay?

Have I done something wrong?

No.

I must apologize.

Perhaps Gregory failed to mention, I eat very little, and with difficulty,

I'm a bit picky.

It's okay. Nothing happened. Nobody got hurt.

Sophie's food was... Sophie's...

I knew I was at home with them.

Them?

I'd like to make amends.

You really don't have to do that, honestly. Yes.

I had to make it right.

I insist.

Look, there's a great diner not far from here, and today I wanted to get out for

a bit anyway.

Really? Please, accept the invitation. I promise you haven't had such good food

in a long time.

Okay.

I will have to clean up in there before we go, though, so if you just... I make

the mess, I clean the mess.

You put on your coats, and by the time you do that...

Hey Victor, can you drive?

Yeah, I can.

Would you like to drive?

Ah, of course.

You don't see a wallet like that every day.

No, this one.

I'm very attached to it. My mother gave it to me.

She used to sew and make clothes and bags out of leather.

It's really nice.

It may sound incredible, but... Her name...

Was also Edith.

No way.

Wow.

Do you know what the name Edith means?

I did look it up in school once, but I can't remember.

Many people associate the word fight with it.

But in truth, it means heritage.

heritage okay but unfortunately for me no one's ever left me any

inheritance all my friends think that i miss money bags because i'm always

traveling but here i am at 26 and all of my wealth fits

in a suitcase on wheels you've probably heard this from other people

But these are the best years of your life.

That's a big fucking problem.

If only someone had told me that it absolutely sucks.

You do.

What do you want?

You can have anything you like.

Oh, are we not going in?

No.

Deceptive small booth. They hand you the food and that's all.

It's deceptive.

You'd think it was a shitty place.

But I tell you, I really hope this place is thriving centuries from now.

Surprise me.

Isn't the first time he's mentioned his loved ones.

I wonder if perhaps I can mention it in my interview later today.

Mind you, I may have to rethink that. You saw his performance this morning.

I'd rather not have a chair land on my head.

Thank you.

their specialty okay oh

my god it's huge i

think you're probably gonna have to get a parking ticket here because i'm not

gonna be able to finish this all in one go enjoy your meal thank you you read my

mind though this is exactly what i needed

What's wrong?

It's raw.

Oh!

That's mine.

Victor, you can't eat that. It's completely raw.

It's the way I like it.

Do you like being alone?

Well, I like to be alone.

But when I have company, I think...

Maybe my life could have been different.

You're talking about loneliness, right?

What happened, Victor?

I had the family.

I had a hard time finding my place after my mother died.

But then I found her.

Sophie? Sophie.

Sophie.

Tell me about her.

How old are you?

Me? Um, 26.

I met her when she was 23.

The most beautiful creation in the world.

Such a tiny smile.

I like to make her laugh.

She never laughed loudly.

Just quietly.

And then she was the most beautiful.

We had a small house, maybe half the size of this one.

A garden, as far as the eye could see.

A sea of trees.

And I thought it would last forever.

What happened?

Not everything was grown here.

So we had to go into town for this and that.

It was a far way, but she got up and walked.

The way she did on the last day of her life.

Some men from the city followed her.

I found her in a ditch, not far from here.

Her body was stripped, violated, strangulation marks on

her neck.

I took her inside and wrapped her up.

The doctor came but it was all in vain.

The autopsy revealed that she was carrying a baby.

We wanted a little girl.

I would have called her Lily. She would have called her Rose. We had a little

argument about that sometime.

Every day is an eternity without

them.

They receive their due.

So, I've already told you a secret I was hiding.

Your turn.

Please.

I am intrigued.

I really do prefer to stay behind the camera during interviews.

The final cut is yours anyway, so you'll delete it if you want.

I was born at 22 weeks

after my mother's ex tried to kill her.

He kidnapped my mother and her partner at the time and he was going to kill

both down in a basement.

He was recording the whole thing.

and he shot her partner dead.

I don't call him my father.

I didn't know him. He didn't live long enough to be my father.

Mum was stabbed in the stomach and the blade was about an inch away from me.

It's funny, he called the police on himself and when

they arrived he tried to shoot them all.

But they came armed and he was shot dead.

Mum was kept in an induced coma until it was safe enough for me to be born.

She never really recovered after that.

Mentally, at least.

She tried to be a good mum.

Kind and caring.

I was about eight or nine when I first saw the signs that there was something

seriously wrong.

I was staying with my grandmother in America at the time.

I couldn't always count on her.

I was 14 when she told me what really happened down in that basement.

And I was 17 when she tried to commit suicide for the first time.

I came in from college one day and...

She was just lying on the ground, foam coming from her mouth.

I had to stick my fingers down her throat and take her to the hospital.

And I was 20 when she finally

succeeded.

She jumped.

off a viaduct on the outskirts of my village.

I'm sorry.

Even though she survived down there in that basement, her soul died there.

It's funny.

She'd often say to me that she wouldn't be surprised if I lived forever.

Because it's a miracle that I survived what I did before I was even born.

Faith still has a plan for you.

Victor?

Victor?

Oh, my

God.

Poor Bundy.

I don't. It's okay.

It's okay.

I was inside before.

I don't.

It's okay.

Motos and Gwyneth.

I'll get the rabbit.

And I'll get you some warm water.

Come on.

I don't want this.

Not like this.

It's all right.

Let's just get you inside.

Where are you going?

I think it's better if I go.

I've left the money in the envelope, in the bedroom.

I've just taken out the daily rate for the work that I've already done.

I can absolutely cut this film with what we've already shot.

I'm sorry about last night.

I don't know what happened.

I didn't want to scare you.

Suddenly everything fell apart.

Victor, I believe you.

You're a good man.

I just...

I don't think it was a good idea for me to come here.

Please don't go.

Please.

Edith, the last few days have been exhilarating.

It felt good. It's been such a long time.

You've been different from the others.

I have to go into town today anyway. I won't be here much.

I come home later.

You take a rest.

Don't go yet.

Go for a walk.

Get some sleep.

Then your working hours will be over tomorrow anyway.

Aww.

Okay.

It's not a photo, not a memory.

There's not a letter, not a bill.

Phew.

but that's not why I've called you.

Pretty much okay.

What do you mean?

Listen, Nana, have you got a pen and paper? I really need you to look

up. The internet here is literally non -existent.

Okay, his name is Victor Browning.

He's roughly in his 50s.

I'll send you a couple of photographs that I've got and some of the old ones

that I found in his wallet.

or PTSD or something like that, but something's just not adding up. He says

his wife was murdered many years ago.

Like I said, I'd look it up myself, but the internet is literally non -existent.

I could really do with your help, Nana.

Well, if you can, send me over what you found.

I'll ask Mayor Owen.

Who?

Mayor Owen.

You know, he used to be our neighbor.

He was a profiler.

Yeah,

that's great. Thank you very much.

Turn around.

I said turn around.

Take your head down. Let me see your face.

Who are you? What do you want?

My name is Peter.

My friend called... Do I look like a friend?

What do you want?

He asked me to come here and walk around the house sometimes.

He? Who? Who was it? A guy.

I was in the town and he came up to me and asked me if I wanted to make some

money.

And I said, yeah.

Wait, hang on a sec. So a guy just came up to you in the street, offered you

money for this?

He gave me a thousand dollars.

But who was he?

He didn't, he didn't tell me his name.

But my mother, my mother was ill.

And I need to pay for

treatment.

Okay.

Alright, okay, okay.

Look, look at this.

Is that him?

That's him.

I met him a few days ago.

A few days ago?

On Monday.

Monday. Are you sure it was him?

I would recognize that guy anywhere.

Okay, something...

Something's not right. Okay.

What I need you to do, I need you to stay here. I'm going to go into my room.

I'm going to pack really quickly. Then when I come out, we're going to figure

out what the fuck is going on. Do you understand?

I think I would rather go to the... I do not give a shit what you'd rather do. I

need you to stay in this doorway. And if anybody comes, I need you to shout me.

Do you understand?

Understood.

Does your phone have data?

Yes, but... Hurry up. I need it.

Stay here.

It's so loud.

Whoa.

Holy shit.

Edith, this is your grandmother.

I really, really hope that you're receiving this message.

I've tried to call you many times, and in the meantime, I have called the

police, and they said that they were going to send out a patrol car to check

you.

Listen, darling, I talked to Mayorowitz, and you were right about everything.

There is something...

fucking wrong there.

The man is known as Badova.

And this article is

about the murder, the alleged murder of his wife in

1899. This newspaper was published in

1921.

And he's credited with 20 murders.

20 murders.

I mean, at first I didn't believe it, but then we found this one, and it's

1949. I mean, look, this guy is either holding up really

well at close to his 200th birthday, or you have tapped into something.

When you get this message, please get that.

Shame.

I thought he would not interfere in what was not his business.

Go on.

Do it.

I will cut you to fucking pieces. I know exactly what you are.

Do you?

There was a time when I knew too.

Ten years past.

Decades. Centuries.

I would be more than happy to put you out of your misery, you bastard.

I wish it were that simple.

Don't you think I tried that after Sophie's death or when I was first

I have tried many times.

I was tired.

I almost gave up hope.

I lost sight of what was really important.

And what's that?

Killing innocent people? You piece of shit!

That was only a small part of it.

I was never happy to do it.

I had no pleasure or satisfaction in it.

I just needed them as I needed you. But I

made the mistake of liking you.

That first night in your room, I was there,

hiding in the corner in the dark.

But something made me stop.

I've called the police and they're on their way.

I'm going to tell them exactly what you are and who you are.

And no one will believe you.

No one.

It took a long time, but we woke up.

More and more of us.

We are everywhere.

And you walk into the trap with your head down.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Wars, loans, diseases and the cures developed in the blink

of an eye.

Miserable human beings forced into their homes.

who have eaten up all they have in just a few years.

Their wealth, their health, their families,

their dreams.

Fear is the driving force of all.

The fear of an invisible enemy.

The world is slowly dying.

Not much is left.

And those who are left will be able to do nothing

against us.

You're insane.

It doesn't have...

end this way.

Here. Dispatch to Unit 22.

22, go ahead.

Respond to Juan Treeline Road for possible attempted murder in progress.

Possible victim is a 30 -year -old white female, blonde hair.

Possible suspect is a white male in his 60s.

I just had a call from the woman's grandmother.

rambling on about an old man trying to hurt her elder granddaughter.

She was incoherent, hard to understand.

Copy that, dispatch.

Is there an apartment number there?

Negative on the apartment. Single family house, white color, small lake next to

it. Copy.

I can barely see anything on this road.

I'm about two to three minutes out, no more.

22 to dispatch i'm here at the house the car barely fits literally no man's

land if anybody was here they seem to have left

Ma 'am.

Ma 'am.

I'm Officer Jenkins.

I'm here to help.

Ma 'am.

Can you hear me?

Ma 'am.

Drop the knife.

You have to drop the knife or I can't help you, ma 'am.

Drop the knife.

Drop the knife now.

Drop the knife or I will open fire.

I will open fire. Stop right there and drop the fucking knife.

22 Dispatch, I need medical assistance ASAP.

I repeat, I need medical ASAP.

I shot her. I shot the woman.

Let me see your hands.

Put your hands up.

Hands up.

What?

What the?

No.

No.

Please. No.

No.

Something's not right here.

I can feel it.

I feel strange.

A little... Thick.

Something like that.

Copy that.

Can't hear you.

Dispatch.

Dispatch.

Unit 74 to dispatch.

Do you copy?

I love that place.

Find another one.

This time it can be less secluded.

Better to be close with the people now.

I will personally vouch for the new location.

That girl was not like the others.

I don't think so.

What about the old lady?

We took care of her.

Sir?

If I may make a remark... Perhaps we should drop this film in school

They've been sneaking around the university after three missing persons.

But we disarmed them.

In vain, St.

Shrek! Have I love the lens?

I try.

But I cannot match the master.

He was perfection.

There's no doubt about that, sir.

But I would urge you to be quiet.

I know what I am doing.

Your time is coming, Gregory, to be repaid for all you have done for us.

The masters have been feverishly planning something.

I've felt it for days.

We must be patient.

We might wait.

Yeah.

I know we'd meet again.

We have nowhere else to go.

Still hurt.

I can't feel anything anymore.

Let it out, got a soul on fire to breathe now. You got a long road coming

you.

Let it out, got a soul on fire to breathe

now. You got a long road coming to you.

We'll be right back.

Well, our way is such a strange land, in the distance from the moon.

There's a wondrous hope we'll make, with the strength of being here.

We don't need it.
