(man mumbling)

- [Man] Free of charge...

For a select...

Number of lucky...

Participants.

Travel expenses are included.

Everything paid in full by us.

Participants will merely be obligated

to take part in an amusing game,

leaving their cell phones...

Turned off at the door till the play end.

Their cell phones.

Yes.

Perfect.

Hello, (mumbling).

No.

Hello, I'm Marta, I'm tired of the monotony.

I would be happy to, no.

I'm Ava, I just had a fight with my husband.

I just can't stand him sometimes.

Yes, perfect.

Just Ieva, Melina...

Lavika, Leonara, Kalina, perfect.

(suspenseful music)

(man laughing)

(tense music)

Hello, welcome.

Melina and Lavika.

Fantastic.

I'll get your keys.

Here's your room key.

One second.

And the rules.

So you'll need them.

Your room is on the second floor.

- Okay.

- And you are?

- Yes, I am Ieva.

- Welcome.

Are you American?

- Well, I live in LA, but I was born in Romania.

- The country of Dracula.

Wow.

Fantastic.

- Yeah, whatever.

- These are the rules.

To be adhered to.

- That's okay, I understand Italian.

No cell phones allowed?

May I retire if I don't like it?

- You'll like it.

You'll like it.

(phone ringing)

- Is that my key?

- Yes.

(solemn music)

- Soon you'll be here.

Obviously you cannot have high hopes.

Humans have a very bad nature.

You'll have to face and deal with hard tests.

Just like your mom.

But I will always be there for you.

And I'm sure that Daddy will change.

Yes.

He always wants to boss me.

I don't take orders.

(speaking foreign language)

- Well, I don't know that being here

was the best solution for me, as

I have lost all of my family,

and then I was like a world's orphan, it's like that.

I don't have any destination and I don't belong to nobody.

So I have an older husband which is like my parent,

and now he really disappointed me,

and I thought it's good to teach him a good lesson.

It's a game.

You can lose.

And you can win.

(speaking foreign language)

(suspenseful music)

(man grunting and laughing)

- Fuck you already!

Woo!

Yeah!

(man laughing)

(phone ringing)

- Hello?

Hello?

Come on, Robert.

I know it's you.

Don't play games, I'm still angry with you, okay?

(phone ringing)

I want to be left alone, okay?

I'll call you tomorrow.

(speaking foreign language)

(solemn music) (man crying)

- [Man] Please, God.

Please, God.

Oh, please.

(man crying)

- Yeah, so.

(woman mumbling)

When I want to know the future, I read this,

and now we want to know about this game.

(women chuckling)

Yeah, it's like we have to concentrate.

- Okay. - Okay?

So let's concentrate.

Okay.

So now I'll put here 12 cards.

Just like the month.

(mysterious music)

- What do you see?

What are the cards telling you?

- I think I don't see them.

Like it's me.

It's me.

- What's the problem?

- It's not them.

- Are you okay?

- What are you seeing?

- I don't think you're okay.

(women mumbling)

- Ieva.

The cards.

Ieva.

Wait.

(suspenseful music)

(solemn music)

- You disgust me.

I saw you kissing that man out there.

God damn faggot.

(ominous music)

(suspenseful music)

(man clears throat)

- Francesco's gone.

He had a death in the family.

(solemn music)

Francesco's gone.

- [Woman] See you in hell.

- Don't you want to see your mother again?

Don't you miss her?

You still hate your mother?

Yeah, you hate her, is that it?

Don't you miss her?

Do you ever just miss your mom?

- No.

- Well, if it means anything to you,

she's not living in Albania anymore.

Listen, pal.

I'm a doctor, okay?

That's my job.

You gotta stay here for a long fucking time.

Maybe forever.

I'm your doctor, pal, you can trust me.

But you ain't going nowhere.

- I like it here.

Seems like a hotel in the mountains.

(ominous music)

(speaking foreign language)

(knocking on door)

(women chuckling)

How can I help you?

(speaking foreign language)

- Two lesbo sinners.

Just kidding.

Is the car yours?

You can't leave it there.

You have to bring it down into the garage.

You go down that way, and then I'll let you in

from the inside, okay?

- Okay.

- Okay.

(women laughing)

(woman whistling)

(tense music)

(women laughing)

(tense music)

- I have heard some noises.

You know (mumbling).

- Hey, Carlo.

- Hey. - Hey.

Has he got any friends, family in the city that you know of?

- No.

The mother has got a hotel.

In the mountain.

- Right.

Yeah.

All right.

That's enough.

Okay.

- I will check.

I will check in the documents.

- Okay.

All right.

Ciao. - Ciao.

(man whistling)

- Wake up.

Wake up.

Wake up.

(man murmuring)

My mother says you think you're superior to God.

My mother says all you have to do

is fuck a stranger, and then you could be forgiven.

Huh?

Huh?

(man laughing)

And so we have to forgive God.

(man groaning)

(muffled screaming)

(muffled crying)

I'll give you a chance.

You understand?

(speaking foreign language)

Don't worry.

(man groans)

You're not gonna die.

Not this way.

(speaking foreign language)

(tense music)

(muffled screaming)

(tense music)

Mommy, I did it for you.

No, no, no, no, no

Nobody saw me.

No, the crucifix, I put it away.

Nobody saw me.

Right.

(ominous music)

Now close your eyes and relax.

Don't think of anything.

Imagine you're on an island, walking on the beach.

Barefoot.

Relax.

Relax.

Relax.

The wind...

Is blowing through your hair.

(mysterious music)

(suspenseful music)

I'll be right back.

- Help.

Help.

Somebody help.

(muffled crying)

- Fuck you.

Fuck you!

- I already talk differently.

(mysterious music)

(muffled crying)

It's useless.

You have to face your destiny.

I'll be right back.

- Oh no.

(muffled crying)

(man laughing)

- I want you to tell me.

Who do we start playing with first?

Ravika,

Melina,

Leonora.

Give me a nod, yes or no.

And if you don't tell me, I cut off an ear.

Snip!

You understand?

Good girl.

(muffled crying)

Shh.

(muffled shouts)

(muffled whimpering)

(tense music)

Do you believe in God?

- Si.

- And do you love your daddy?

- Si.

- Shh, uh-uh-uh.

Do you obey your mother?

Tell me the truth.

(speaking foreign language)

Honor thy mother and thy father.

Wrong.

(muffled screaming)

I want one of you to at least be saved.

I'm not mean.

Which of you is a mother?

Yeah.

You're the mother.

Oh, you're so cute.

Mother and daughter.

How cute!

(muffled crying)

(suspenseful music)

(solemn music)

(man muttering)

(muffled whimpering)

Not for you.

A vacation together.

How cute.

Wait for me.

My mother said I gotta cut 'em up.

Now...

You choose.

Who do we play with?

(muffled crying)

Maybe it's there.

(woman yelps)

Now you decide....

Who we play with.

Who do we play with, huh?

Look.

Melina.

Elianora.

Ieva.

With you?

No.

With her?

(muffled shouting)

You?

No?

You, huh?

With her.

What do you have to say?

- I'm on your side.

I had the same experience with my mom.

Really.

- Is that true? - Yeah.

- [Man] The same as me?

- Yeah.

(tense music)

Where are you?

Trying to be sneaky?

Since one of you tried to escape,

all of you are gonna pay.

- This game is boring me, huh?

You just don't understand!

My mother said God forgives you.

(muffled whining)

We failed, God's children.

(tense music)

(knocking on door)

- May I come in?

- Sure. - Thank you.

- We're not equipped for handicapped access.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Do you speak English?

- A little.

How can I help you?

- Okay.

I'm an American, and my wife and I, my wife Ieva Lycos,

we had a fight, and I know she came here.

I've been trying to call her, but she won't

answer the phone, so I got worried.

So instead of going to the police, here I am.

- Ah, Ieva.

Yeah. She's here.

- Come on.

- Wait here.

I'll go call her. - Thank you.

(tense music)

- I want to stay sometime by myself.

- I thought you'd love it here in Italy.

- You know that I wanted to go to Romania.

I've already lost all my family.

Do you want me to lose my roots too?

You always think about you and yourself, isn't it?

- What are you up to now?

- Doesn't matter.

I'll let you know.

(suspenseful music)

Honey.

Look who's here.

You're really lucky.

You get to look death right in the eye.

(woman mumbling)

Tick-tick, tick-tock.

Time's up.

He's gonna die.

- It's all my fault, honey.

- I am so sorry.

- Honey.

I'm going to have a baby.

- You're going to have a baby?

Oh my god.

That's wonderful.

- It didn't have to go this way.

- I know.

See how unfair life can be?

To die at the hands of, because of, a psychopath.

After so many years of suffering and struggles,

when you finally find out you're really happy,

and you found the right woman to spend

the rest of your life with and share everything with.

When you find out you're gonna be a father.

A father.

I never wanted children.

I was always afraid to have them with the wrong woman

and for them, having to leave them and make them suffer.

But I'm sure our baby I'll be just like you.

(solemn music)

You must always tell him the truth, always.

And you must tell him...

You must tell him how much I wanted to live

to see the way he grows.

You are such a good woman.

You are such a good woman.

You will make...

I don't want to be buried.

I don't want anyone to cry for me.

It's true what they say.

When you're about to die, you can feel it.

(tense music)

- Honey, no.

(Ieva crying)

(solemn music)

- What are you most ashamed of?

You don't want to tell me?

My mother always ordered me around,

and if I didn't listen to her,

she locked me up in the dark and made me eat shit.

Maybe I treated you too well.

This little son of a bitch is gonna die.

- No.

No.

No.

- You.

You're a mother?

Tell me what you're ashamed of.

(speaking foreign language)

(tense music)

Hail Mary, mother of God, the Lord is with thee here.

(man crying)

(man muttering)

(knocking on door)

(solemn music)

(tense music)

(gun clicking)

(Ieva crying)

(footsteps thudding)

(suspenseful music)

- I lost him.

My little angel.

Follow your daddy.

We'll all be together soon.

- [Man] Please let me help you.

- Don't touch me.

Did you hear it?

- No.

No.

He's gone.

He's gone.

- Well, get him back.

I want him to finish me off.

Can somebody kill me, please?

- No!

Stop saying that.

I know who he is, I know him.

He was a patient of mine.

When I first came to Europe, I worked in the asylum

where he was there.

(Ieva mumbling)

Yeah. (mumbling)

(Ieva mumbling)

Worked for the Los Angeles police department,

investigating serial killers. (mumbling)

Psychiatrist as well as a cop.

Very sensitive, I know a lot of things,

I can feel a lot of things, and he's very dangerous man.

Very dangerous boy.

He killed his mother.

Used to own this place.

You know what, he's never gonna be happy,

and he's never gonna stop.

He's never gonna be at peace.

Hell, can you send me an ambulance?

(Ieva mumbling)

He'll never be at peace.

(gunshot bangs)

(tense music)

- [Woman] (indistinct) the bad things are the good things.

(indistinct)

(tense music)

You too cannot live (indistinct).

Come, come to me.

(mysterious music)
