Original subtitles

People will tell you that poverty is a threat to democracy.

But what no one ever tells you is that democracy...

Well, democracy actually breeds and cultivates that poverty.

As I write these words, currently one out of every two individuals, half the

country... not already in or near poverty.

Poverty usually hits urban and rural places in the hardest,

where I can't speak personally about those urban areas.

I can't speak to how it has affected the rural town I've called home my entire life.

And it's all gone to shit.

So I vow to do my part.

The only way I know how anyway, to help eradicate this growing problem.

On another note, did you know that the term handwriting analysis was going way

back in the 1870s by a Frenchman named John Michonne?

I often wonder what good old John Michonne would think of my handwriting.

I don't

have any money.

Well, that's a problem if you want a cigarette.

Yo, come on, man.

We all got to eat.

Okay.

Out.

That's what you do.

You're a cigarette.

Well, hell not, for that I don't want the whole pet.

I think you've got the wrong idea about me.

Okay, shit, just take it easy.

I'm fine.

Just not a fact and you're acting like a fucking pig.

Fuck you, dude.

Wait, are you leaving?

Got a toothbrush?

I do.

I know you need a toothbrush to clean actual food from your mouth, right?

I don't know what it's for, for much.

When was the last time you ate?

Hey, come here.

What?

Here?

I can't look at this.

I said we all have to eat and I meant it.

Fuck you, talking about.

Listen, I got a job.

Easy being, I was going to do it myself, but I don't know

if I can come back here with a clue of conscience if I do.

Now, but thank you.

What about your toothbrush?

Alright, I'll do it myself.

The hell you will.

What exactly we have to do?

Simple.

Find a friend.

You guys have to look out.

Tell me kind of shit out at the end.

That's it?

That's it.

It's just through here.

How do you know they won't be whole?

Because I case them close for weeks.

Another special inside of that one.

This better be worth it, man.

Because I got a record.

If anyone sees us... Hey!

I'm facing real jail time, man.

No one is getting caught.

Just keep your eyes open.

And be quiet.

Hey, Nick.

Don't worry.

I'm already...

Almost there.

You should turn on the lights.

Thought you didn't want to get caught.

You should fucking head.

No lights.

Just stay close to me.

You'll be fine.

Real school is over here anyhow.

What exactly is it?

The two of you.

Oh.

Like I said, I was going to do my part the only way I knew how.

I was going to help eradicate this growing filth.

Hey, did you know your door was unlocked?

You drag him to the bathroom.

And it'll take care of the rest, baby.

When was the last time you ate?

Oh, you have to eat.

If you want to go look to be big and strong, baby.

There he is.

So handsome.

I'll fix you up something to eat.

I did it again.

But they were nobody.

Nobody didn't even know their mission.

They won't be missed.

And I'll take care of it.

Just like the last time.

Because mothers take care of their children always.

The days and nights have started to bleed together.

Weeks have quickly become months.

It's an endless winter.

And I can feel my blood lust becoming more and more insatiable.

More and more unstable.

But yet, I'm not worried.

Because I have mother.

Mothers take care of their children, baby.

Always.

Will I brought you home something from work that might cheer you up?

Oh, Alex.

It's so good to see you, smile.

My boss said that his wife stabbed him over 30 times

with the same steak knife she used to cut up her food.

Oh, this isn't even better, can God?

I'm glad these are cheering you up, baby.

Now tell me, why do they do this to you?

Are they not even weird?

No, baby.

Don't worry, I'll bring some hope from work when I can.

Baby, you know that I need to return this to work so that I don't get caught.

Now, tell me for a minute.

Can I save my own soul?

Poison in the air we breathe.

This love brings me to my knees.

What

the hell?

I'm so tired of you, streets go.

Empty your pockets, you little shit.

Don't do anything.

Set empty your pockets.

Babe.

Don't you dare hate her.

I'll take care of her items.

But she's a thief.

Look, things are tough now, so I'll pay for her items.

If she carries my groceries home, Dad really be helping me out.

I don't live far.

All you really be doing is encouraging though

to keep coming in here and stealing from me.

Like I said, everybody's hurting right now.

Including, I'm assuming you and your store.

Right?

So do you want my money or not?

This was the last of my money.

You need to get a job, Alex, or you're going to starve.

There are more like can for you.

At some point, you're going to have paid up yourself.

And you're going to have to help me, baby.

Oh, fix there's something to eat.

No?

You eat.

You're a growing boy who needs to eat and remember.

I'm going to head out now.

I'll be buying a few days to check on you.

Tonight, baby.

I separated the joints, the arm joints, the leg joints.

Even though she was on the smallest side, to use every pot I own.

Jeffrey Dahmer mostly ate the hearts by steps.

Lippers and hearts of flesh of the legs and his victims.

Well, I didn't have the liberties to be so fucking

picky, so we ate everything we possibly could.

Prince Philip once said that cannibalism is a radical, but realistic solution to

the problem of overpopulation.

He may have considered the concept as radical, but cannibalism wasn't exactly a

foreign concept to the royal family, who had a taste for

human flesh as recently as the end of the 18th century.

Prince Philip was right, and I didn't need to

be fucking nobility to take up his noble cause.

I think I have some socks in here.

Yeah, I do.

How much?

A dollar.

I've got a quarter.

Come back when you have three more.

Come on, man, my feet are fucking freezing.

There are other ways I can... sorry, I didn't mean to.

I'm sure you could work something out.

Just... not here.

Great.

You pick this spot, I really don't care.

What's my next victory?

I don't want to know.

It's just business.

It's not personal.

Okay.

I'm ready.

Where's Peter?

I don't know.

I haven't seen him since the job.

It's a good score, though.

Maybe you've got enough to get out of here.

Talk that.

Hey.

They did easy.

I know you think you're better than us.

We're all beneath you.

We're simple and stupid, but we're not.

And I know who you really are.

I know what you are.

Let's go.

Don't go, Patricia.

I'm sure he's not right about this guy.

I've got some place warm and some food.

Or you can stay out here in the cold.

Don't.

I'm so cold.

Nice place.

You don't have to be nice.

I have no illusions about what my apartment is.

It's warm.

At least you got an apartment.

True.

Guess I never thought about it like that.

So, let's get over with you.

Where do you want to do this?

Later.

First, eight.

This dude is warm and ready.

Maybe we should just take care of what I owe you in the middle head out.

I have plenty of this dude.

You can have as much as you like.

Come on, Mum, it was the last time you had a hot meal.

It's good, isn't it?

Yes.

It's very good.

Thank you.

Are you going to have some?

Not now.

Maybe later.

I'm enjoying your company.

I

like your earrings.

My mother gave them to me.

Where is she now?

I don't know.

Why did you find her?

We are.

We don't talk.

Isn't that better than living on the streets?

It was just my mom I was going home to then yes, but it's complicated.

I understood.

You do?

Yeah, I do.

Please.

Keep eating.

Are you going to get hard anytime soon?

Just stop.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

My mouth is starting to hurt.

Can you turn some lights on now?

Hello?

What was that?

Can you say something because you're kind of freaking me out?

Please say.

I just want to leave now.

Hello?

No.

No, no, no, no.

I just want to leave.

Please.

No.

Please.

Please.

Better, right?

No.

Better keep it that way.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

I

just want to leave.

Come back, come back to me.

There you are.

That's a good girl.

That's such a good girl.

I was

institutionalized when I was 18.

While I was in there, I had another patient insert a steel pin into the tip of

my penis in an attempt to make me more virile.

Are you sure?

Of course, it actually had an adverse effect, but as she just discovered,

I still had ways of fixing the condition when needed.

Oh, they're beautiful.

Thank you, baby.

That's so sweet of you.

Aren't you going to write any of that down?

Well, kid, you're not exactly giving me a lot to go on here.

Well, I mean, they didn't come back.

He obviously did something to them.

What about the first one?

Peter.

Peter.

Right.

Peter.

You said Peter went with him to help him with a robbery.

Right?

So maybe he doesn't want to be found.

People are not just left like that.

Okay.

But you don't know what a guy's name.

You don't have the last name of any of your friends either.

So I can't even put out a missing person's on that.

Do you have any idea how many runaway kids there are each year?

Well, I do.

Of course, they're two million a year.

And that's just in the U.S.

alone.

So what are you saying?

My friends are just some stats to you now.

And what I'm saying is, unless you have more for me to go on, last names,

and address to where they went, something, anything, I don't know how I can help you.

I'm... I'm sorry.

Let me get you another cup of coffee and something

from the vending machine before you leave.

I'll strain yourself.

Look, come back when you have anything else for us.

Pass for me specifically.

If you're going to kill me, just make it quick.

Now that wouldn't be very much fun, would it?

Oh, you okay, kid?

I'm fine.

Just help me out.

No, no, no, no.

You took a pretty hard spill.

I'm going to call you and get some help.

No, no, no, all the time.

Just help me out, please.

Come on.

You sure you don't want to spend the night in a warm ER bed?

Yeah, that's what I thought.

You stay put.

I'm going to go get some help.

One thing Dama did after I was that certain cuts of flesh were more tender than others.

The more muscular pieces were too tough and chewy for anything other than stew.

But I quickly discovered that the buttocks and breasts

were tender enough to pan sear, like a prime cut of beef.

Best cooked and served, medium rare.

But anyone who's actually used them in flesh will

tell you that it tastes more like pork than beef.

So much so, the cannibals on the islands of Polynesia actually called it long pig.

And serial killer Fritz Harmon actually sold human

meat in markets as pork back in the early 20th century.

German cannibal, Armin Muse, was once quoted as

saying the human flesh tastes similar to pork.

Only it was a little more bitter, stronger.

And in his book Jungle Ways, author William Bueller, Seabrook, wrote about his

experience cooking and eating human flesh

saying it was slightly tougher than prime veal.

A little stringy, but not too tough or stringy to be agreeably edible.

We may have the problem.

Then take care of it.

Yes, yes, thank you.

I shouldn't take you from much of a raider, Peter.

You said you know what I am?

Tell me.

What am I?

That there is a thing.

There is.

Another?

I mean here in your bedroom.

What are you doing in my room?

Why wasn't this cleaned up?

Alex?

Dinner is ready.

In Russian cuisine, you start by boiling it in a bouillon with vegetables and spices.

None of which I had, so I just used the broth of this stew we'd been eating.

Then it's skinned, sliced, and served cold as an appetizer.

Is that food stuff?

Fancy, yes.

You know your grandmother, she made the best of couscous.

Did you know that?

Thank

you.

Delicious.

You know,

I had a scare on the bridge.

And seeing as you're getting sloppy, not cleaning up after yourself.

Are you getting worried, Alex?

But like you said, they're all nobodies.

No one will miss them or even know they're missing.

They're nothing more than lost sheep.

And what about our possible problem?

That sheep wanted upon a wolf, and the wolf was for enough to silence him.

Your grandmother would have been very impressed with this.

We're running low on food again.

So what do you think?

Well, it's already eating.

If they did, they didn't say anything.

For the detective, I've, uh, I want this beef from the other tears.

These aren't people.

Fucking animals, you know.

Someone got killed in here.

A kid.

I understand that.

But I'm telling you, another one of those animals did this.

Hello.

For something, this is all the trays.

I was a cigarette.

You're wasting your time on this one, detective.

The only one that's going to happen tomorrow anyway.

Okay, where are you?

No.

Jealous?

But seriously, if we're going to make it through until we get back, we should

probably get some beer.

How?

You don't think they're going to ideas?

Really?

Around here?

I know.

This place is so... I know, I know.

Ugh.

I can't believe my mom followed that asshole all the way out here.

I don't know.

I think that asshole's kind of cute.

What?

You're disgusting.

Hey, I'm okay with that.

And I'm pretty sure it's so as your stepdad.

Beyond gross.

Hey, can you do me a favor?

Can you not get knocked up this Christmas break?

Thanks.

Don't be ridiculous.

You, out of anyone, should know that you don't get pregnant when you swallow.

I don't know why I tell you anything.

Because you love me.

I mean, yeah, you talking about blowing my stepdad is like so windy.

How's everything, all right?

Yeah, thank you.

I'm going to meet to see some ID for the beers.

What?

We don't love 21 to you?

I'm sorry, but it's the law.

Hey!

If you never plan on buying anything, you need to stop coming in, you're proud.

Wow.

Right.

Uh, in that case, I'll have a bottle of antacids, please.

Something I ate recently isn't agreeing with me.

Sorry, ladies.

Can you wait your fucking turn, creep?

Jesus, Trish, shut up.

It's okay.

You can go ahead of us.

No problem.

Glad that you all got that settled.

That will be 75 cents.

Okay, so what if we pay double for it?

I'm sorry, but uh...

Look, there has to be something we can do to fix this.

He's like a hundred.

Do you want the beer or not?

Look, ladies, I can't afford to move my storm.

Hey, you know, that's my favorite beer.

I've been meaning to buy myself some, actually.

You are a saint.

Okay.

Thank you for helping me with the groceries, girls.

Don't even mention that.

It's the very least that we could do.

Yeah, don't mention it.

It's close by, I promise.

Hey, thank you again for buying us the beer.

I was your age once.

I remember the weight of which light.

Yeah, that's great.

But where are we even?

It smells like shit in here and my arms are getting so tired.

It's not far.

By the way, I haven't seen the two of you around here before.

You moved here recently, your son.

Here?

God, no.

No, uh, my stepdad transferred here for work.

My mom followed him.

You lived with the two of them?

No, we go to college.

We're just here for our holiday break.

I came here for a break.

No wonder you wanted the beer so badly.

I felt exactly.

Um, by the way, do you know anywhere around here that would serve us?

No, no, I don't know.

Oh, there.

Look, you girls have done enough for me.

I can take it from here.

No, don't be ridiculous.

What the hell are you doing?

She said she could take it from here, Vicki.

No, it's okay.

Really, I need it.

I feel okay.

No, no, these bags are super heavy.

We got you.

You girls should be out having fun, not carrying these groceries.

Hold on, no, you did us a change figure.

We're going to carry advance up to your place.

Here, okay.

All right, girls, just do me one more favor, please.

Just be as quiet as possible.

All right, here.

I'm going to find my key, and then you just put down the groceries, all right?

Just right here.

Oh, okay.

And then you can head out.

Gladly.

And thank you both so much.

No, no, thank you.

You have a good day.

All right.

Okay.

I thought I heard you.

Do you smell that?

You were your friends.

You just showed me home with the groceries.

Well, I was really kind of you both.

Do you want a hit?

Oh, yeah, we do.

Well, you can keep that.

I have plenty more inside.

Oh, hey, actually, do you know anyone around here that would serve us?

Serving?

Yeah, like alcohol.

It's just that we're underage and we're really, really underage.

And this isn't going to last us forever.

Maybe some place with food?

I'm starving.

Yeah.

You're asking me the wrong guy.

I've been eating at home a lot more lately.

But you can come in, smoke you out, put something to eat?

Uh-huh.

No.

Church don't.

Let's go.

Come on.

You should definitely take a hit of this.

Did you know that a Chinese surgeon used cannabis

as an anesthetic, all the way back in 140 AD?

He'd mix up the cannabis with wine and administer it to his patients for surgery.

Please.

Please.

Just let us go.

Please, just let us go.

The Chinese word for anesthesia is Matsui.

It literally translates as cannabis intoxication.

I'm telling you, you're going to regret not eating this.

Fine.

Okay, have it your way.

Why are you doing this?

Why?

So many reasons.

I feel like the only one that should matter to you is because I can.

Please.

I just want to go home.

Okay.

I don't want to die here.

Please.

Please.

Lucky for you, you have a long, long way to go before you die.

Time to wake up, your friend.

It's time to wake up.

Lucky?

No.

You're not here.

No.

Come on.

I need your...

I need your... Your... No.

No.

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Don't kill me!

Don't!

Stop!

Did you know that the orbital class was invented in 1948 by Dr. Walter Freeman?

I mean, the concept is pretty simple.

You just... You go in through the eye to the frontal lobe.

It disconnects the brain tissue in between the prefrontal cortex and the foundness.

They say he did over 3500 procedures, or at least assisted on them.

He can get in and out and under tide.

This was my first one, so I wanted to take my time.

Yeah, so we can enjoy ourselves.

dress...

dress... dress... dress, please wake up!

Alright.

Come on.

Please, please, please, please.

We're going to talk to you.

Alex, those two.

You know they're not like the others, right?

They have homes, parents.

They go to school even.

Listen to me, baby.

People will be missing them.

And eventually, people will start looking for them.

At least tell me that you're... you're done

with them so that I can get rid of their bodies.

Are they both dead yet?

All right, I tried.

Well, I'm gonna go home.

And I'll be back to check on you in a few days.

And by the time I get back, I expect you to be finished with them, both of them.

Despite my mother's wishes, I would not be done with them.

Not for a long, long time.

What are you doing?

What is

this?

Please, no.

If I do it, I am gonna take my time.

I'm gonna track it out for minutes, hours, days.

I can't do that again.

She's your friend.

She's suffering.

Don't you want to help her?

Put her out of her misery.

She doesn't even know where she is.

I can't.

I can't.

I can't.

I'll do it.

Okay.

Fine.

No!

I'll do it.

Oh.

That's it.

That's good.

It's really good.

You're doing great.

You're doing so good.

That's my girl.

You're doing so good.

Richard Ramirez once said that we've all got the power in our hands to kill.

But most people are afraid to use it.

The ones who aren't afraid control life itself.

Most healthy human beings can survive 30 to 45 days without them.

Most human beings will go to seemingly unimaginable lengths in order to survive.

You did good.

Some of the survivors of the Eugarian Air Force by 571 justified these lengths by

comparing it to receiving the Eucharist, while others reference John 1513.

No man hath greater love than this.

And he laid down his life for his friends.

I didn't give a shit how or even if she justified it.

I just wanted to watch her do it.

What people think is the Romans have invented curing me.

It's actually something I stole from the Greeks.

It's the nitrate in the salt.

It keeps the meat pink.

Let's go guys.

We lose the light.

These waters, it's going to take more than a day.

Okay.

Here.

It's good, isn't it?

We have plenty of this and then in a few days I'll cook up her arm.

I think you're really going to like that.

Unfortunately we're going to use one of them because she has a tattoo on the other.

Like he said, if you want to avoid vampires,

get a tattoo if you want to avoid cannibals.

Hey, little me.

How's it going?

Thought you would have been bored with this one by now.

She's not like the other ones, so they're going to be looking for her.

So you've got to finish this before it costs you.

And before it costs me.

Do you hear that, baby?

Do you hear it?

Yes, mother.

Do you?

Do you get that?

I'm just going to kill us both of you and all that, right?

You and me.

I'll do something.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You really gave me a lot of clarity.

Mother's always take care of the children.

Always.

Okay, baby.

You can't remove now.

What now, mother?

Now?

Well, if it worked to me, I'd have some ideas.

But the answer is anything you want.

Where do you want to start?

You can do this.

Baby, you have to do this.

Just think of everything that is done to you.

And to me, I'll let your anger take over.

Do it, baby.

Do it, baby.

Do it, baby.

Do it, baby.

Good.

It's done, baby.

Now, freeze hands and feet and help me move them to the bathroom.

I don't know when it started exactly, sometime last night, I think.

But it has certainly gotten worse since the college.

Yeah, probably coming from the upstairs neighbor's place.

I'll check it out.

Okay, but what am I supposed to do about it in here?

Well, once we deal with the leak, the damage will be assessed, but I'm

guessing at the very least, you see them not to be completely redone.

Okay, and how long would that take to get that done?

In this place?

Man, you'd be lucky if it ever gets done.

Are you serious?

Man, I'd start looking for a new place.

Man, get yourself a bigger bucket that's going to fester.

So, good luck.

Shit!

Good afternoon, man.

Hello, man.

Good afternoon, maintenance.

Hello, it's maintenance, please open the door.

Help!

Help me!

You

fuckers.

Oh, for fuck's sake!

Hey, you know, you're Lisa, you're not supposed

to have an additional chain on your door.

Oh, God.

What did you do?

Jesus, you scared me.

I'm sorry.

I...

Is everything okay?

Yeah, I'm just checking on the leak.

Do you smell that?

No, it's pretty bad.

It's been like that for a while.

Now, I live next door.

Oh, well, do you know if they're home?

Hey, what do you got?

Yeah, we wouldn't want to go in there.

Trust me.

Are you married?

Yeah.

Do you have kids?

Yeah.

Well, then leave while you're still here.

And if... if you want to see them again.

Okay.

All right.

Do you understand?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

It's over, baby.

It's done.

Killing them wouldn't have done anything except prolong the inefficables.

Mothers always take care of their children.

Remember?

Okay, they see me.

There isn't much time.

No!

That's the one right there.

Okay, what's again from here?

It's the door.

Right there.

Find the left side, Jones.

Please, open the door.

Just to hit it off me right there.

No!

Ma'am, I'm going to need you to open this door.

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

That's what I necessary.

I'll be right there.

I lived on the streets I hunted on.

Living amongst the very sheep I often hunted for.

Three days and three nights after they arrested mother.

And then just like that, it was finally over.

Animals show their teeth when they're ready to fight and protect themselves.

It's a symbol of aggression, hostility, dominance.

It's a reminder that their jaws will tear out your throat.

I want you to think about this.

My nice smile.

I want you to think about this.
