December 5th, Paris.

Unsuccessful...

March 10th. Return to Athens.

Samantha is keeping me company.

I remain optimistic about the future.

July 23rd.

Two years of failures.

Wet climate in Athens.

My baby turtle is dead.

No change.

My fucking arrogance...

Now I just need to figure out...

how to bring my sweet Samantha back to life.

- Hello?

- Why aren't I picking up?

Why are you calling so late?

Just don't call so late.

Are you still sleeping?

- Yes, I'm sleeping! - We're sleeping!

I need money...

Yes.

I need some equipment.

Not Athens, from Tokyo.

Mail order.

Forget it.

It's gone bad.

I know.

- It was Logo. - I know.

I asked for more cash.

- Know what he said? - How should I know?

He wants to bring it himself.

He won't come here.

He will.

- Did you say we are not ready yet? - He knows we are not.

OK...

Does he know that Paris is the city of light

while Athens is a dark wormhole?

I'm sure he knows.

Our thug made a friend.

Rise and shine.

Gimme a hand.

What brings you by?

Did you forget something?

Went straight to dessert today? Not bad...

Wanna get us all killed, eh?

Clerafin 500mg, Ephemerol and Aspartin.

Weird color.

That's how they came out. Eat it, it's good.

This smells of Samantha.

Whatever, go score some yourself. Samantha's cool.

Samantha Two.

Ok then, Samantha Two!

Sweetie...

Come here, sweetie.

Stay cool.

Come over here.

- You game? - Nah.

Why not, Hedgehog?

'Cos it's psychotropic and we've got serious work to do.

Keep an eye on us, will you? In case we lose it?

You boy wonder, great scientist, how did you end up like this?

At some point, I took a wrong turn.

Let's keep in touch boys.

How much time did he give us?

- He said before Christmas. - Merry Christmas... Isn't it too soon?

All set?

Abort!

You didn't lock?

Just like Nureyev.

Put it in and lock it, Dummy!

Ready?

I'm always ready.

Minced meat.

What do you mean?

A dungheap of death!

The earring indicates it went somewhere.

It took a step back and returned.

In other words we sent that sweet piglet straight to hell.

- What matters is that we brought it back. - As minced meat.

Still, it's back.

I wonder what would happen...

if we hadn't put all of it in the closet?

Huh?

Do you have to bury it here?

Why not?

Dung for the flowers.

The flowers are dead. They don't need dung.

It's sad you're burying animals next to mom.

They're keeping her company.

- What about your bed? - What about it?

- You're sleeping in the car every night. - So what?

- With your hands tied up? - Japan's right.

I'm right about what?

I'm hungry, guys. I'll cook us something.

As good as the Last Supper.

What did he say I'm right about?

She loved blossoms more.

She Loved Blossoms More

She'll be back.

What did you say to Dummy?

Same things you do: "She'll be back, it won't be long..."

Just forget it.

That's why he sleeps in the wreck every night.

I'm freezing my ass off.

Let's wrap it up.

Oh! Check this out and stop whining.

I don't whine...

What is this? A tape?

Even better. A videotape!

Home movies!

Let's go eat. You can tell us all about your big idea.

We should decorate the house. It's fucking Christmas.

March 10th. Return to Athens.

Samantha is keeping me company.

Samantha in the box, Samantha out of the box.

He's a magician!

Food's ready.

I'm still watching.

Now you're not!

Hey gramps,

how about you put away your little library so we can eat?

Tastes like shit. What is it?

I don't know. It was in the freezer. Don't ask...

Why don't you go get us something fresh tomorrow?

Yeah, I'll go. Tomorrow...or the day after.

- Go by the Pharmacist too. - Samantha?

It's chicken.

What?

- What we're eating. - Not fish?

No. It's chicken.

Listen up, fish.

I'm all ears.

Get on with it. The lice are eating me alive.

Put it in the closet!

Not like this.

How then?

Put the head in and keep the wings and torso out.

What? How?

Use my blanket.

Good.

Well done. You made a fashionable guillotine.

- Patience. - For sure. I've got patience to spare.

- She got a transmitter? - There's one on the earring.

- Insulate the opening with this. - Why?

- So we don't turn to ashes. - What?

Just do it, please.

Can a brother lend me a hand?

Don't push it, kiddo!

Shades!

Beam it!

Check out the playback.

Its body is here and its head in another dimension!

What the fuck?

Out of ten...we score five!

You did great, thug!

What should I do with this abomination?

Do you think we'll succeed?

What's that, Hedgehog?

I'm talking about mom...

The Christmas deadline is challenging.

Generally it's challenging, it's a first.

"Life is for the living"... etc.

You know what impresses me with Logo?

That he did all this without computers.

- A magician! - More like a third-grade Wizard of Oz.

Dummy is late.

That's love for you... I hope he doesn't bring her here.

Let's celebrate!

Celebrate what?

Something's alive.

Not exactly.

Yes it is! And the proof is in the bathroom.

Your chicken is headless.

We're out of firewood... The thug was on the case.

Speak of the devil.

It's freezing outside.

Inside too.

Guys, you haven't met Samantha… But you've heard of her.

Samantha, meet Japan and this hunk is Hedgehog.

Hey.

Can we offer you anything?

More like you have something to offer us...

A Blue Curacao for me. With rum.

Blue Curacao, how exotic!

- My dad was a sailor. - Aha, that's why...

Hmm, okay...

Big house...

- Is it just you guys here? - Just us.

- You got a toilet? - We sure do.

Up the stairs. First door on the left.

- What? - She's staying?

- We've got work too. - You got a problem Japan?

Not if she doesn't snoop around.

She's the bomb, isn't she?

She's OK...

Just "OK"? She sank the Intrepid.

No one sank the Intrepid. How silly...

Play duck...

A chicken without a head. is tied to the bathtub.

Did it freak you out?

No, but I wanna go to the loo. Can you get it of there?

Your girl is either super dumb, or super smart!

Nostalgia, my friends...

What happened to that creature? How's it still alive?

From what I understand, Samantha dear, we're all here to have fun.

So what are you little boys doing here?

We're doing great. Aren't we?

- Experiments. That's what we do. - What kind?

- Antibiotics. - Bullshit...

- I've been to college you know. - No doubt.

So?

We beam little animals to an alternate dimension.

Beyond the edge of space and time.

What does that mean?

We're still trying to figure it out...

I like you!

I like you too, Samantha.

And why do that?

Why send something there?

Because if you can send something there,

you might be able to bring something back.

You can't bring back the dead. That's what I know.

Did Dummy tell you that we knew another Samantha?

A chick?

A turtle.

Right...

Sorry...

What for?

Wanna dance?

I don't dance... But...

- What about you, hunk? - Yeah.

It's full of stars!

What are you?

Try to figure it out.

Why are you using my mother's voice? What do you want?

I want to come back...

You're not trying hard enough.

Don't use her voice!

Blow.

Blow inside me.

Try again.

Maybe... You should try it with her...

Where have you been travelling to, kiddo?

Are you by yourself?

Dummy went in to make us a drink but...

But?

But maybe midway, he changed his mind?

Sounds like him.

Something like that.

Let's go?

Go where?

Back in. I'm freezing.

Where?

You're completely fried, huh?

Let's go for a swim, you'll sober right up.

Come with me.

Get up!

Get in here!

Feel any better?

I think so...

Aren't you cold?

I didn't feel cold before either.

Right.

You're wasted.

Just now, I saw a flower over my mother's grave,

talking to me in her voice.

Did it freak you out?

She's been dead a while.

Spooky.

At this point, people usually say "Sorry for your loss".

I don't feel so sorry for you.

Bite my shoulder.

It's so beautiful I could just die in here.

Harder. Make me bleed.

Try it.

Harder, Hedgehog.

I'm confused.

Did I just snort the yellow or the green one?

It's a killer! You want some?

Nah...

I'm good.

"Perfect is the enemy of good."

As you please.

Samantha...

At some point, she wanted...

a drink.

She wanted something.

This shirt...

is mine.

Everything's yours, Dummy.

The shirt and the girl too.

Don't worry.

Hey! Have you lost your mind?

And then you call Logo a charlatan?

Japan. I saw her.

She spoke to me as a flower.

Hey, kiddo! Get a grip!

She told me to try with the girl.

Chill! You're so fried, I don't understand a word.

You don't give a fuck, Japan.

Lately, you've been listening to his old records.

Damn right!

Now check out my solo!

Tasty!

So, when's Logo coming to Athens?

He'll be here soon...

Logo? Weird name.

Wait till you see his face.

- Will I get to meet this gentleman? - Not likely.

Is what's-his-face mad at me?

Nah! He just hasn't gotten laid in a while.

I get off playing chess.

I'm game if you're interested.

For chess too, if that gets you off.

This is very tasty.

What are you doing here?

Smoking a joint.

What is this?

I rolled the leaves of this flower here.

So last night this flower was alive and speaking with her voice.

Whose voice? What are you saying?

She said I should try it with the girl.

Hedgehog...?

You're not making any sense.

This flower is trippy though.

We're smoking the flowers growing on Margarita's grave.

Get it?

Yeah, something like that!

I dig you, kiddo.

Why are you out here?

The people upstairs!

What about them?

They're turning up the heat.

So I came here to chill.

You?

What about me?

Are you annoyed that they're...

playing chess?

Are they?

Have mercy on me!

"Kiddo, we didn't want to wake you.

Dummy, Sammy and I went into the city.

Logo keeps calling you."

Even if you feel pain, it's pointless.

You can't tell us, you poor thing.

"P.S. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."

You can't bring back the dead!

"You can bring back the dead, fool. As long as the living want to."

"How... are you... doing this?"

"Japan set up a modified telex for me."

What did Japan set up for you?

"Don't... do it... again."

"When I call, pick up!"

"I don't see any progress."

Shhh, you'll wake Hedgehog up!

Come here little chicken.

What happened here, kiddo?

Why did you set this up for Logo?

And where the fuck where you last night?

It's a piece of shit Telex. So we can play computer chess.

Since when are you two chess buddies?

- You made a mess here. - Answer me!

- It's just chess. To pass the time! - We don't have time!

Here we go.

Where were you last night?

- You were asleep. I left a note. - So?

You've become a buzzkill lately dude! I keep telling you.

Samantha's hot, right Japan?

Don't be stupid. Dummy loves her.

What about the chicken? You loved it to death?

Oh, that...

Logo? Why won't you pick up?

None of your business.

Yo, Hedgehog. I'm being serious and you're high?

I snorted what was left of that green stuff.

Fuck, I could play Arkanoid with your eyeballs.

Peek-a-boo!

Boo!

Let's stay in touch.

Where's Dummy?

He's around somewhere.

Sooo... this is the famous lab...

What's this closet doing here?

Is this the time machine?

It's actually more than a time machine.

It looks like a closet to me.

And someone sleeps in it.

You think I don't remember you last night?

You little pervert!

I like you. But you're a little scary today.

Your eyes are bloodshot!

It's the crap you sell us.

Don't buy it then!

Said the "Pharmacist".

Is this how that poor chicken was sitting?

You're doing it better.

You're made for this time machine.

It's no time machine. It's just a closet.

It's so much more.

Don't be such a bore. Let me out.

Samantha?

The black is the abyss, the cliff is stupidity...

...Boat in order, with an orb on the border...

...Distance is doom, diamond and pink is love...

...Loved in mine, it's glowing you forgot number five...

...I wear a diamond...

On a scale of one to ten...

how pleased are you, fucking Hedgehog?

...With prunes half on the wall scale I forgot you scale I forgot you...

You fucked it all up, Hedgehog.

With no insulation in the closet, we're lucky to be alive.

We're alive! But Samantha is fucked.

...Palindrome marmalade warm luck walks undercurrent field...

OK, I'm sorry about what happened.

...Always every Saturday pheasants pheasants you want to wind me up...

You piece of shit, you're responsible for this!

You're right but...

But what?

She might tell us something about that place.

I couldn't miss this chance. She told me to.

Who told you what?

- Mom told me to try with her. - Mom?

Mom is dead! And what about her?

- She's making no sense! - I can bring her back.

Cool off. We're expecting visitors.

Logo arrived in beautiful Athens.

There you are, my Hedgehog!

How are you?

You changed the lock?

Dummy and Japan?

- They are not here? - They're out.

I'll have what you're having.

I didn't offer.

Where are your manners?

Go on then.

Give it here.

I can do it.

You've lost weight.

What's it to you?

Did you bring the money?

Is...

my time machine ready?

Don't call it that.

It's the time machine I designed.

It's more than that. I made it more than that.

It's the time machine that'll bring my wife back!

Mom is dead.

- You drink too much. - Dad!

We're not alone?

We're good.

She's calling for you.

Won't you introduce me to your girlfriend?

You know what you are?

You're a membrane.

The person is hiding underneath.

You're a poet now?

It's time for you to go.

It's time I meet the object of your affection.

...Horizons you possess cell a forest last year around this time...

Kiddo...

- What's she saying? - Nonsense.

No...

She's saying something.

...They could've a forest last year, if he partridge wants buoys...

What is this?

Samantha. A friend...

It's perfect!

...the black in the abyss...

They're alive in both places, simultaneously.

And her name is Samantha?

Like my turtle?

She's an abomination.

She merged with the closet. She won't tell you anything useful.

We can travel there.

The goal was to bring mom back.

But it's not ready yet.

It is ready.

...last year...

It's dangerous.

What? I don't understand.

It's not ready dad. I need two more days. At least.

Then I'll be back in two days!

See...

You're just like me, kiddo.

I didn't kill my wife.

Don't be so sure about that.

So, I'll be back in two days.

OK?

Two days.

...A decoration the huge identification and butterfly and stone...

Samantha?

Samantha, can you hear me?

...Loot unexploited coefficient...

Do you know what's happening to you?

...Smoke I keep on he's going to hit me to believe me...

Samantha?

...The flash on common Aphrodite Can you try to...

What?

- ...The lemur at the tobacco factory... - No, what did you say before?

- ...Can you try to... - That's it! I can hear you!

...Push away the denture...

"Can you try to bring me back." Is that what you said?

...Can you try to necessities but the friend office...

Can you try to do what? Tell me again!

...Can you try to bring me back...

What are you playing at, wannabe shaman?

- There's a connection. - I don't follow.

The pig we buried in the same area.

Mom. Samantha. Everything is connected.

Everything and nothing. Nonsense.

Go get Dummy, and let's find a solution.

Don't order me around.

You go get him.

- You used to have a sense of humor. - You used to have a brain.

This is the extract of all of them.

They were supposed to watch a late night screening.

"The Exorcist II" was on.

Mom used to love horror movies.

But he told her they'd have time for a Dry at Au Revoir bar.

With Margarita and Logo it's never just one Dry Martini.

Margarita, check out my driving!

With my eyes shut, I'm a fucking God.

And that's when-

Patission Avenue lit up like lightning!

Come with me, Dummy.

Why did you do that to my girl, you little shithead?

I'll bring her back, man.

I'm bringing them both back.

...Clementines the chimney broke...

...All yellow we sing the wolf since the...

Enough of this voodoo crap!

Yesterday in the room, she spoke to me. She made sense.

You must've imagined it. She's delirious.

...Glaucoma must be and if possible...

The girl's speaking. What's she saying, wise guy?

Samantha?

Samantha, can you hear me?

You fucked up. She stopped talking altogether.

Samantha!

- This is fucking bullshit. I'm off. - Wait a sec.

Samantha?

It's a killer...!

Keep it together, kiddo! This is not science.

- Okay... - Chlorophyll from hell.

Hands...

Margarita?

Mom, can you hear me?

Try harder.

Don't look at your brothers.

What do I have to do?

Go inside...

Dad?

Did you see your brothers? Something's wrong. Look!

Where is she?

Did someone take Samantha?

Logo is here! He's ahead of us!

I saw him. But I didn't think he was real.

The spacetime continuum is disrupted.

- You're just tripping. - No! I'm good.

And now you're better.

He's not outside. He's nowhere!

To the lab!

That son-of-a-bitch went in...

And unleashed hell in our home.

Everything's dead.

Everything's burnt, the hard disks, the boards, all gone.

- I'm going after him! - It's done for. And...

And what?

Dad's dead. The experiment is over.

Dad's alive. And mom needs our help.

Samantha led us here.

When you return, not a word to Japan.

I told him you'll score enough to distract us.

What do you mean?

If he gets wind of this he won't let us travel!

What about Samantha's mother? What if she asks about her?

Tell her she went travelling to find her father.

Something like that. You'll figure it out.

Phencyclidine and Dimethyltryptamine.

- There's some orange tablets. - What are they?

- Who knows. - Off you go!

I'm off.

He's way late!

If you can't wait, go downstairs and get some good cognac.

I'm not waiting for the drugs. I'm worried about our brother.

Yeah, right.

He went to the dead girl's mother. Maybe she called the cops.

As if she'd call the cops. She's a dealer.

What are you writing?

A closet, again... Like a magic carpet...

This makes no sense.

- Whatever you say. - Poetry.

Forget about the experiment. We now have the money.

You really don't give a fuck.

I'm gonna get some cognac.

I found an ancient bottle. It looks good.

What're you doing? Open up, fool!

Drink your cognac like a good boy.

Open up. Please.

The experiment's not over. It's not poetry. I can travel just with the closet.

- If you go in there, you're going to die. - I'll be back. We all will.

Open up. Please.

Open up. Don't be stupid.

Quick, close the door!

Make room, Hedgehog!

You were going to go without me?

I took forever...

You scored and got high already?

Yep. I couldn't help it to be honest. But...

I brought supplies...

What are these?

To see us through the winter.

The orange stuff I told you about. I've never had them. Gimme one.

Two!

Isn't Japan coming with us?

He's in the cellar. Getting wasted...

You get what this is, right?

Get what, you ninny?

Don't worry...

I'm not worried.

If it all goes wrong, Japan will bring us back.

- We need to stay put for a while. - Yeah...

It's nice here.

Right now, you'd be fine anywhere.

Yeah...

- Did you bring the flare gun with you? - Yes.

Well done, Hedgehog!

Things are heating up, huh?

You feel anything?

Not yet. You?

Yep... My balls are tingling.

That's permanent.

Damn right!

Look, clothes...

What clothes?

Mom's clothes.

I can smell her perfume.

There's room back here.

What do you mean?

There's an opening. Look.

I've got a flashlight in the bag.

OK...

I'll bring the whole bag.

- Don't be late. - Fast as lightning.

You found time to change?

You look just like mom.

Classic Saturday get-up.

Au Revoir bar and then Cine Star to watch "The Exorcist II", dear.

I'm hungry...

Me too.

I have something.

What is that?

Can we eat it?

Why not?

Tastes good.

Mom's famous orange cake!

There's something there.

In the car...

An animal?

It looked like a tiny human.

- A dwarf? - A goblin.

What are you laughing at Dummy? I saw it!

A gremlin or something.

It was small and hairy and it looked like...

Yes...

Give me the flashlight.

- Get in, the keys are here. - And go where?

Let's go find them at Au Revoir bar.

They are not there, Dummy.

- They're at home. - What?

They are all there?

Yes. No one ever leaves home.

- Isn't that right? - That's what dad used to say.

Samantha?

I told her I'd bring her a drink and never did.

I'm so stupid...

I have to find mom first.

Hedgehog...?

You said we'd bring my girl back, too.

I'll go get Samantha.

Why are you dressed like that?

- I'm off. - Go on then.

Mom?

Dad?

It's small...

hairy

and it looks like Logo.

Where are the others?

None of your business.

I saw Dummy with you.

I saw you earlier.

Spying on us...

Always sneaking up on us.

No, not at all.

I don't spy on you.

I was waiting for you.

I am so happy.

Why?

I wanted to congratulate you.

You did it!

Your time machine works.

It's just a closet.

It's more than that.

Yes it is. It's mom's closet.

It smells of French perfume every time I open it.

"La Fontaine".

Yeah, something like that.

You've lost weight.

You've become uglier.

I saw Dummy!

Where is Japan?

Where is mom?

She's at home.

No one ever leaves their home.

Sammy?

Ignore the clothes... It was just a joke.

A family inside joke.

I owe you...

...that drink.

I went to get it for you and never returned.

I am such a dummy.

Samantha?

Please forgive us for what we did to you.

You're bleeding...

The experiment is over.

Let me take mom back.

Back where?

We are here.

There's no way back or forth.

She loved blossoms more than her kids.

Was this your plan from the start?

To round us all up here?

I'm going to ask you one last time.

Where is mom? Tell me.

Same place she's been all these years. Buried in the garden...

You're not a person,

you're a membrane.

The person is hiding underneath.

You are a membrane

that's about to break.

Dad is dead.

The experiment is over.

"The inventor became a screw..."

"My last hope is gone."

Who was it?

I didn't get it...

What did they say?

"- Are the smart pills ready? - Not yet."

Dad is dead.

What happens now?

Now we have all the time in the world.

So there's no rush?

No.

Now we have all the time in the world.
