Original subtitles

- Violett, are you ready for school?

Have a good day. All right?

- Sonya?

Sonya?

- The seven dwarfs forth to find Snow White.

Oh no. There's snow white now.

I hope she sees through the queen's trickery.

- Oh, well, how are you this fine day, my dear?

It comes from a tree contains that contains a natural potion

that will keep you young and beautiful in years.

- It was as though the queen

had cast a spell over her

as Snow White took the poisoned apple

and placed it to her lip.

When the seven dwarfs returned home from work,

they found snow white

and nothing they could do would revive her.

They were heartbroken to lose such a good friend

and they spent day after day keeping a vigil over

her casket of flowers.

Never had they known nor could they imagine-

- Eat your soup.

- To take their beloved snow white

away from them.

Even as she laid there, her beauty,

and she looked as lovely as she had in life.

- I think I go for a walk.

Before it gets too dark.

- The seven dwarfs found him

to be kind and generous

and agreed to let him move her to his castle.

- I don't want to sleep.

I have nightmares.

- Your gran will be here tomorrow.

You have to try.

- I need Ava next to me tonight.

- Where's Ava?

- I keep her under the bed.

- Where did you get this from?

- The lady gave it to me.

- What lady?

- The lady down the street.

- You don't take gifts from strangers.

Is that clear?

I said, is that clear?

Go to sleep.

I love you.

- I love you too.

- 1, 2, 3.

- Should do this more often.

We don't see each other enough.

- I can feel your look.

- What look?

- I'm doing okay, mom.

- Are you?

- Yes.

- When you were a kid, I always knew

when you were telling me the truth.

You'd look at me.

- I'm just taking one day at a time, mom.

- Oh, you should lose those nasty things.

- What if I told you that there was something else

here in the house?

That it's not me.

Would you believe me?

- Of course I would.

- Right?

And I'm not going away again, Mom.

- We're not gonna let that happen.

Time will heal. I promise.

- I know.

- Tell me about Stan.

- What about him?

- He loves you.

- I know. He's a doctor, right?

He'll take care of me.

- I just don't want you to do something you'll regret.

- Violett.

- These storms should pass soon.

Did you cancel your appointment today?

You've been drinking again, haven't you?

Please don't ignore me.

I said- - You don't know me.

You don't know anything about me.

You don't see what I see.

- I'm just trying to help you, like I always do.

- Help me?

- Another child reported missing today

in the town of Miles.

A family devastated when their 6-year-old son, Kyle,

disappeared from the local park.

Detectives say the parents looked away from their son

for just seconds when he vanished

right before their very eyes.

Right now the growing number of child disappearances

is catastrophic.

For an entire community in a state of disbelief.

- What do you say we go and get one of your favorite sweets?

- Toffee apple?

- Well, all right.

Mom?

What happens if we die?

- What are you talking about?

- A girl in my class

did something strange at school today.

- What was that?

- She said that we die like the way a plant dies.

We go into the ground and we never come back.

Is it true?

- No. It's not true.

It's not true.

- Well, if we don't go into the ground, where do we go?

- I want you to stop talking to people.

- I don't believe we never come back.

- Listen to me. We're living in dangerous times.

Nothing is safe.

Promise me you won't talk to strangers.

Promise me.

Sorry to disturb you, lady.

- It's quite all right.

- I have an abundance of fruit

that keeps falling from my tree, you see.

Would you like to take some?

I don't like to waste God's beautiful fruit, you know?

- It's all right. I have plenty of fruit already.

- Are you sure, lady? Can't hurt to have more.

- Yes. Yes, I'm sure.

- We don't like to waste things in this neighborhood.

- I said I'm fine. Now please leave.

- Are you okay, my dear?

I can help you.

- I said I don't need any of your goddamn fruit. Now go.

- I said...

Good fruit for children's health and wellbeing,

you selfish little fucking whore.

Do you want your child to live

or do you want your child to die?

- Sonya.

Sonya.

You should answer me when I call you.

What's this rubbish you're drawing now?

You don't get to do your stupid little fucking drawings

until your chores are done.

Do you understand me?

Do you understand me?

- Please, father.

- Now do the chores I told you to do

and then see me in the shed.

Okay?

- You know you're a liability on the road, mom.

- Nobody tells me I'm not fit to drive except me.

Get in.

I said get in.

You wanna tell me what you're doing?

- What are you, a detective now?

- Yeah. Should have been.

Would've been a damn good one.

I know about closure.

- Closure?

- You just have to accept the-

- No, Mom, you don't have a clue about closure.

- What are you doing? Where's Stan?

- Working.

He's always working.

Are you okay, Mom?

- Yeah. Yeah, I'm okay.

Don't... No, no. Don't worry about me.

I just never wanted this for you.

- I know that.

- Obviously.

We both know I should have left your father

much sooner than I did,

for both our sakes.

- I know you're trying to make it up to me.

- Just trying to help.

It's what moms do.

- I love you, mom.

- Oh, I'm quite sure.

- Oh. - With you holding my hand,

I'm sure of everything.

- Oh, okay. Mr. Squiggle. Is it upside down?

- Everything's upside down.

- Turn the television off, Violett.

Come here.

I won't let anything happen to you.

Ever.

Do you understand?

Do you?

- Can I help you?

- Yes. Yeah.

Sorry to bother you, my dear girl.

I've been doing some work in the neighborhood.

Well, I, I seem to have lost one of my toolboxes.

You haven't seen any thieving looking youths

wandering the streets, have you?

- No.

- It's been a while since we had thieving little youths

in these streets.

Wouldn't want that again now, would we?

There used to be a time

when you could leave your doors unlocked here.

I miss those days.

I blame parents not watching their kids close enough,

if you ask me.

I don't think we've ever really met, have we?

You know, we've both lived on this long street here

forever, it seems.

My name is Edmond.

I'm the local handy man around here.

Most people just call me Ed.

Pardon me for saying this, ma'am,

but they had no right to suspect me.

Anyway, I'll leave you to your day, ma'am.

Oh, here's my card.

If you ever need any work done around here.

Pardon me for saying so, but seems like your could.

Well, goodbye now.

Oh, and keep your doors and windows locked at all times now.

You hear?

- Violett, sweetie,

you can't expect to get it straight away.

It takes practice.

Hey, when are you go to see Stan, then?

Violett, sweetie.

Look, I tell you what.

Why don't you go change then go and play for a while

and I'll get the brushes ready.

What do you say?

- What have you got there, Violett?

What are you doing going near the junk pile?

You shouldn't be touching that.

- You know, I never dreamed

that I could have such a beautiful girl

who would sit and paint with their mother.

How lucky am I?

- Maybe Stan could paint with me too.

- Well, I don't think painting's

really his thing, sweetheart.

- He hates art, doesn't he?

- He doesn't hate art.

Don't say things like that.

He used to take you fishing.

- I hated it.

- How can you remember if you liked it or not?

It was so long ago.

You were only four when he would take you.

- I remember.

You throw a line into the water

and then wait till a helpless fish came along

and got its mouth stuck on a hook.

- You watch too much TV.

- I prefer to paint with you.

- I'm going to be better for you.

- Do you wanna see

what I've been working on in my room?

Mom?

- Of course I do.

It looks like you have many new additions, Violett.

Did you do them recently?

- Mm-hmm.

- What's this one?

- That's the lady who gives me fruit.

And then we're gonna start a new clay creation together.

Please, Mom. It would just be for a little while.

- Don't ask me, Violett.

You know no one except your gran

is allowed to come to the house right now.

- Why? - Is that understood.

I said, is that understood?

Don't look up.

- There is something so beautiful

about the closed hands of a mother and daughter.

I once had a daughter,

but resplendent beings are often more fragile.

Life has a habit of swallowing beauty from us.

Would you like to see my drawing?

- Some other time?

- I see you.

I watch you

walking to school with your child every day.

Can't be too careful.

Lots of strange characters roaming our streets

in these times.

Come over here.

I have something to show you.

Something I think you'll enjoy.

Yes.

Stop right there.

Stay there.

Stay there.

Don't move now.

Stay there.

We have a duty to record beauty when we see it.

For it is a fleeting thing in this world of ours.

There is something so beautiful

about the closed hands of a mother and daughter.

- So this is what you do all day out here?

- I am all.

Sketching beauty.

An artist's duty

is to make people see.

- Wasn't that that young girl, Daria,

who was kidnapped from the park five years ago?

- Yes.

And she was drowned in a bath.

Shh.

Memories in physical form are such more powerful.

You know that.

Mother.

And all.

- Mom.

- Why?

Why can't they see what we see?

- You left the front door unlocked again.

- Sorry, I, I thought I locked it.

- Well, you didn't.

I found these lying out next to our bin.

How many are you taking?

I prescribe you the correct amount you need.

- Why?

I'm sorry, Stan.

- If only you knew what I do for you.

What is it?

What do I need to do to make you love me again?

- I do love you.

- I'm the one that tried to help you.

I gave you everything that was mine.

- It's a curse to have dreams, I know.

I told you once a long time ago that I was no good.

- Hey.

I'm just trying to find a way to get us through this.

I need your help, Sonya.

- No one likes lazy little girls.

Hey, stop dreaming about the Emerald city

and start thinking about helping your father.

Okay?

- Sonya.

It's dinner time.

- Mother is calling, Father.

She says it's dinner time.

- It's dinner time when I say it's dinner time.

- You are not going anywhere.

- Sonya?

Sonya?

Where have you gotten to now?

Sonya?

Are we playing hide and seek again, are we?

I want to show you something.

- Keep spiraling.

- Found my other toolbox.

Sorry to disturb you again, ma'am.

I was doing some work next door.

I accidentally kicked a piece of brick into your riser,

sewer pipe.

I think it may have ricocheted into your connecting pipe.

T junction.

Is it okay if I check your drainage out?

- Is this necessary?

- I'm afraid it is, ma'am.

You may not be able to use your shower again.

Or toilet.

Or anything, really.

I really need to have a look.

Seems to be all right.

I will need to come back tomorrow

with an extended claw

and get that brick out for you.

- So there's no issues, then?

- Let me just check your kitchen sink here.

So sorry about all this, ma'am.

I'm a bit of a dunderklumpen.

What's this?

There's something here.

It's stuck. Wrapped around the pipe.

- What do you mean?

- I found a 1930 penny once.

Paid for me.

Another time, I found a jar of teeth.

Feck.

- That's my daughter's little camera.

We bought that for her 10th birthday.

What's it doing in there?

- I've seen stranger things.

If you asked me, it's a perfect spot

to hide a present from a child.

Probably wouldn't have been found for a long time

if I hadn't been poking around in there.

- Are you okay?

- Yep.

I'm just going to freshen up before I start making dinner.

- Okay.

Are you gonna eat?

I said, are you going to eat?

- I'm not hungry.

The handy man was here today.

Ed. Ed was his name.

There was some accident outside.

- Okay.

- So he had to come inside to fix it.

That's when he found it.

- Found what?

Is there something you're not telling me?

- Where is it?

- Where's what?

- It was right here.

- What was?

I don't know what you're talking about.

- He found Violett's old camera

hidden under the sink, Stan.

- I don't know what you're talking-

- What was it doing hidden under the sink?

- I don't know. - Don't tell me I'm mad.

Tell me you took it. I know you did.

Fucking tell me, Stan.

- Why are you doing this?

- Give it to me.

Stan.

Stan.

- Stop.

This is all in your mind. All of it.

- Not all of it.

- Yes, it is.

And I don't know how else to help you.

- Stan.

You did it.

- Sonya. Stop this.

- Let's ask her.

Let's ask Violett.

Kids never lie.

Violett. - What are you doing?

- Violett? - Stop this madness.

I said enough of this madness.

- Do you see this?

Now this is no ordinary skull, you see.

The ones in here are special.

Do you know why?

Demons live inside of them.

And when little girls haven't been very good,

the demons come out,

and we don't want the demons to come out, do we?

'Cause when the demons come out,

they make us do things that we don't wanna do.

So have you been good, Sonya?

I don't think you have. Have you?

I think we'll let the demons decide.

You can stay in here without supper tonight.

- Please.

Let me out.

I promise I'll be good.

I promise.

I promise.

I promise.

I promise.

I promise.

I promise.

I promise.

- Sonya.

Sonya.

Sonya, what are you doing?

- She's here.

- What are you talking about?

She's dead.

You have to accept.

She is gone and she's not coming back. Okay?

She was never coming back.

- The shocking tragedy

in the small town of Miles.

A mother and father were devastated

when their 11 year old daughter

did not return home from school.

- Police are on the search

for a violent...

- I should have walked her home from school.

I should have walked her home that day.

- There's nothing you could have done.

- Just leave me. Please.

What about the old lady down the street?

I still see her in my dreams.

- You made her up.

- And the man?

Who trolls children as he sees them.

- You made him up, too.

- But not the handy man.

He was real.

What if he kidnapped her?

What if he has her locked up somewhere?

- It's going to take some time, but...

She can recover from this.

Whether she gets back all of her memory, I don't know.

- She's truly accepted it now.

So maybe she will.

However...

- Pardon me for saying so,

but given the fact that you're not just her husband,

it shouldn't have got this far.

- I thought I could save her, in my own way,

but without real closure

there will always be grief.

- I didn't take your little girl, ma'am.

They never should have suspected me.

I'm just a handy man.

- I thought you'd never come home to me.

- I promised to be the best for you, Stan.

That's what you've always deserved.

- You know, you're still young.

Maybe one day when the time is right

we could try for another.

- That's really thoughtful of you, Stan.

But Violett doesn't need a sibling.

She's got her mother.

That's all she'll ever need.

Where are you going?

- Nowhere.

Just a walk.

Before it gets too dark.

I won't be long.

- Is everything okay?

- Of course it is.

I will see you tonight.

What are you doing, going near the junk pile?

Do you want me to get angry with you?

- In this episode of the Blood of the Cyclops,

Mr. Scully is about to murder his doctor.

- Violett.

It's time for bed. Let's wrap it up.

- I haven't finished my game.

- Come on. It's getting very late.

- We'll finish this murder after.

After the doctor has gone to bed.

- Violett, what did I tell you?

You can't be playing with that, all right?

It's dangerous.

Do you hear me?

Give it to me. Give it to me now.

Why do you always have fucking to defy me?

- In this episode of the Blood of the Cyclops,

Mr. Scully is about to murder his doctor.

- Violett. What did I tell you?

You can't be playing with that, all right? It's dangerous.

Why do you always have to fucking defy me?

- Violett, it's time to go to bed. Okay?

Listen to your father.

What have you got there?

Violett.

Give it to mommy.

- Sonya.

Violett didn't come home from school.
