All language subtitles for Reunion.2020.WEB-DL.x264-FGT

Okay, I know we're
covering a lot in this section,

and we'll have to jump over
several chapters

before the end of term.

So, we'll focus on
psychosocial development

beginning in puberty
through gravity,

lactation, menopause
and senescence.

Even though this class
isn't exactly my speciality,

the subject is
tangentially related.

I can't go into it fully
in the classroom setting, but...

I'm primarily concerned
with the modern codification

and demystification
through scientific

and rational parallels

of the twilight language
of Black Magic.

Occult images
and symbols that serve

a dual and unified purpose
to both hide and reveal.

Obscuring truth from those who
do not know and revealing truths

to those who are initiated.

The alchemical Magnum Opus,
the Philosopher's Stone,

turning lead to gold,
and base matter to might.

Nature from nature.

The dismemberment
and re-memberment

of physical memory:

a transcendent mode
of being beyond matter.

Do you understand?

- I think it's Ellie. She's here.
- Yeah. I'll get it.

I'll get it.

Here.
This is rubbish.

Okay.

Mom...

what are you doing here?

What... what's going on?

Who's that?

Hi, Ellie.
It's Shirley.

Do you remember me?

How are you feeling?

She's great.

I'm fine... great.

We haven't seen you
in so long, love.

And you're doing so well
out there in the world...

- Can we please just...
- Yep.

Come on.
Come in.

We loved hearing
about your baby,

and your book,
and your engagement...

Thanks, Shirley.

We were just talking
about your book and your job...

- Yeah.
- We're so happy for you.

- I...
- Thank you so much. Really helpful.

Yeah. No.
All good.

I'll, um, I'll leave you
both to it, to catch up.

Yeah.
So, I'll, um...

- Must be so lovely to see each other after so long.
- I'll give you...

I'll give a ring
when we've got settled here.

- Okay. All good.
- Yeah?

- Nice to see you, Ellie.
- Bye.

You did... hey, did you
know that Gus is here?

He's working on the...
on the house.

Were you carrying
these pregnant?

I told you, I'm still
working on that book.

So, it's not finished then?

I'm almost done.

Ah, I'm just copying some notes
from my lectures.

Revisions, whatever.

I just wanted to make
a few last-minute changes.

But...
it's basically done.

It's been a long process
this book, for you.

Hasn't it?

Well, I was going to get it
done with some peace and quiet.

I told you that there was work
being done on the house.

- This is not quiet.
- Just give me the house key.

- Please.
- You need to hydrate after all of that travel.

Airplanes dry you out.

But it's good you
finally got away

from that fiancée of yours.

He was an abusive man.

Why do you insist on
selling this place now?

Your grandparents
are barely cold,

and I have to salvage
everything I can,

and look after your father.

Dad is here?

I need to be here, too.

I'm the executor
of the will and...

it's not just the funeral,

and overseeing
the house renovations,

it's also all of the sorting,
the packing,

and then all of it
being cleared out.

So, you can have a good
house appraisal on Monday.

Will you please let me stay?

I really wasn't expecting
you to be here.

I promise to stay
out of your hair.

You won't even notice me.

In fact,
I'll go into town right now

and get you a key cut.

Ooh.

Ellie, call this number
if your father has an attack.

Just be careful
not to agitate him.

I'll go and get the key and...
you can just settle in.

Ellie?

Ellie?

Ellie?
What happened?

I got dizzy.

You should rest.

Where are you going?

Well, you need to lay down.

- I made up your bed in your old room.
- I can walk.

Can you get me my purse,
Mom?

I need to take my baby vitamins.

I'm fine.

Ellie?

Ellie?

Ellie?!

Is baby kicking?

Thanks, Mom.

So, do you want to stay
in the guest room?

I do understand.

This was my bedroom.

No.
This is not your bedroom.

This is the guest room.

But it's okay
if you forgot.

You never had
a great memory.

It's fine.
Here you go.

- Well, how is the baby?
- Mom, you need to ask.

You can't just go
grabbing at me...

I can't just touch
my own daughter?

I'm sorry.

I'm turning your bedroom
at home into a nursery,

and I'd love to know if I
should paint it blue or pink.

- Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?
- Mom... No.

I'm not doing ultrasounds.

Well, don't you want to know
if it's deformed

or retarded or...

The baby is fine, Mom.

I'm fine.

Everything is fine.

I could paint it beige.

I'm just excited for you.

You're so lucky.
I could never get pregnant.

You had me...

Oh, besides you,
of course.

What's wrong?

You're really jumpy.

You did this...
like that.

I'm fine.

I just want to know that
you're taking care of yourself

and the baby.

Have you done any tests?

Have you gone through
your medical history?

I'm trying to do
this naturally.

Doctors are part of the problem.

I'll be back.

Ha.
It's a good look on you, Ivy.

Gus, could you maybe
take the rest of the day off?

Yeah.
We talked about that.

I've got another job
starts next week.

Ellie just got here.
She's really tired.

She's not feeling well.
I think she's napping.

Can you just get her a motel?

I'd love to.

She is insisting on being here.

I've got a lot of work to do

and I can't make up
for lost time.

I know it's a pain.

Please. Come on.
You can find something to do.

All right.

Just let me know
when I can get inside.

Sure.

The concept of
linear time is entirely modern.

Linear time,
progress, history;

they all arise from the
influence of human will

on natural seasonal events.

Once humans began to exert
force through technology, fire,

agriculture, tools,

they observed the
uniquely effectual

transformation of nature.

This effect depends on the
transmutation of the elements;

turning wood to fire,
for example.

And the speeding up of natural,
organic and biological processes

of divinely engendered
slow change,

altering, in effect,
the flow of time itself...

What's your book about?

Ah, it's an academic survey

of the origins
of modern science

in the Middle Ages.

How postclassical Europe
developed empiricism

and experimental science...

Sounds interesting.

Oh...

Shirley dropped that.

Such a shame.

Ellie...

Ellie...

Can I have it?

And to this day,
these same goals are pursued,

turning lead to gold,
the extension of life,

the creation of life
from matter.

The commercial goals
of modern science,

the Magnum Opus
of ancient alchemy,

the Black Arts
of the Black Land. Khemet.

And this involved memory
techniques as well.

- The use of memory to alter time.
- Ellie?

I was just wondering if...

Sacred time endlessly repeats,

while historical progress,

linear time...
bisects the circle.

Time itself is a hierophany...

A revelation of the divine.

We observe nature,
the structure of creation

as the mind of God
revealed to us

over the course of time.

We change and alter
this structure

through our human will.

This is evidence of
man's divine nature...

I experience a deep sense
of peace in all situations.

I experience a deep sense
of peace in all situations.

Ellie?

Hormones.
It's just the baby.

It puts pressure on my cervix.

I need to ambulate
my hip flexors.

I'm seeing Cara.

- You're gonna be okay.
- Mm-hmm.

What am I saying?

You are okay.

It was just my imagination.
It wasn't real.

No.
It's not real.

I'm sure it feels real
and terrifying.

It's just your imagination
playing tricks.

And I think it's probably to do
with coming off your meds.

All right?
So, there's nobody here.

I'm just gonna go and get you
some dry clothes.

Ellie...

...you're perfectly safe.

It's an heirloom.

Careful...

You know how valuable it is?

One day it'll be yours.

What about Cara?

Oh, don't worry
about that, darling.

She's not really a Maybrick.

Look what I found.

When you get scared,
you just ring that,

and I'll be right there.

All right?

Why did you want
to come back here?

I don't know.
I just...

...wanted to see the place
one last time before we sold it

Have you seen that
old broken vase?

When you were packing?

The one that Cara broke?

You're not sentimental...

Ellie.

We need to focus
on happy memories.

Hmm?

I found something earlier,
and I want you to see it.

Ellie?

What are you doing?

Nothing.

I want to show you this.

I think you need to watch
something happy.

♪ Last night
I lay sleeping

♪ There came a dream so fair

♪ I stood in old Jerusalem

♪ Beside the temple there

♪ I heard the child
...and ever...

Closer.

Look at me.

Smile.

Morning, Miss Maybrick.

Closer.
Look at me.

Stand still.
Smile.

Look at Grandma.

They really didn't
like being recorded.

That was a beautiful summer.
And look at you smiling.

It was so lovely.
Do you remember that?

Not really.

But you can see
how you were, right?

Do you remember any
of the good times?

Look how young
and strong your father was.

Are you seeing this, Jack?

It's quite shocking what's
happened to both of you.

So that's when he
was being inducted.

It's quite rare for a surgeon
to get the Order of Merit.

- Ah, this is the picnic...
- Was I sick much...

as a child?

I've been really looking
forward to you coming home.

I want to try
and make this work, Ellie.

For you.
For the baby.

I want us to have
a good relationship,

be a real family.

Hmm?

How are you feeling
about having the baby?

The baby?

Good.
I'm... I'm, ah, happy.

I'm excited what she's
going to be like and...

She?

You told me
that you didn't know.

I had a dream.

I think I'm having
a little girl.

Mmm.

Did you...

dream about me
before I was born?

Ellie, come over here.

All the time.

Cara.

Oh God.
Turn that off.

That was a dumb idea.

The... tapes are getting old
and worn out.

Okay?
Are you okay?

Yeah.

I'm gonna finish
packing upstairs.

No.

No.

Dad...

Mom, can I pick flowers?

...In old Jerusalem

Beside the temple there...

I heard the children singing

And ever as they sang...

Me thought
the voice of angels

From Heaven in answer rang

- Me thought the voice of angels
- Please stop!

- From Heaven in answer rang
- Cara, stop! Ah, stop it!

- Jerusalem...
- Cara... Stop!

Dad, do you need something?

Imperfect!

Hosanna to your King!

Cara.
Come in.

Can you feel anything?

Do you understand me?

You're incredible.

How could this happen?

My child!
My child...

She's...

Ellie, you were a child.

The whole family changed
when we adopted Cara.

You know your father
was not a good person,

and we just had to accept
his activities.

But God knows how many
children he produced,

ones we don't even know about.

It's family,

and I tried to keep
the family together.

Don't torture yourself.

What's done is done.

We're gonna make
a better family.

Hmm?

All right then.

There you go. See.

All right.
Remember that smell?

Bring back memories?

If you could get his feet.

Are you good?

All right.
And one...

two... three.

Oh God!
Ellie, can you get the brakes?

- I'm...
- All right.

Have you done that?

It's... it's stuck.

Oh my God. Ellie!

- Do you, ah, do you... the side. You...
- I'm trying. It's stuck.

- I thought you were getting the brakes.
- Ah, I'm trying. It's stuck.

Can you get the wheelchair?

- Ellie, can you get the wheelchair?
- I can't leave the bed.

Oh God.
All right.

I think I'm gonna go
and get Gus.

You'd be all right with that?

You got him?

Ellie?

Mom, are you still there?

Give it to me.

All right.

Here we go.

Yep.

Ivy said you're sick.

Ah, I said
she wasn't feeling well.

When you weren't
feeling well this morning.

You're a carpenter?

I have an architectural
restoration company.

But yeah.
I'm a carpenter.

Are you gonna fix
the stair bannister?

You know it's loose, Mom?

Ah.
He's doing inside stuff later.

Ellie is pregnant.

Wow.
That's great.

That's good, right?

Why don't I show you
the bannister now?

Ellie, do you think you could...
feed your dad?

Probably needs some friends.

Oh, that's sweet of you, Gus.

...especially after how she
handled your breakup.

I mean, I know it was ages ago
but I wish she'd been kinder.

She's so touchy
if I've said anything.

She's come off her
medications again.

So, she really can't
be upset right now.

I'm afraid she's
gonna get violent again.

She attacked her fiancée...

you know, he was...
...cheating on her,

and she completely lost it.

Oh, I'm not desperate.

I'm just trying to be friendly
and there's no harm in that.

No. Sure.
Sure.

Why did she
break up with me?

God only knows, Gus.
She's erratic.

It's good that you're
looking after her.

Look what I found.

Can I have it, please?

Please...

...Ellie.

Ellie...

What have you done?

Looks like he's making
a break for it.

What in the world?

Jack, get away from there!

All right.

How did that happen?
You let him fall out of...

I don't know.
I had to go to the bathroom

and then he was there.

- Just get his legs up.
- Yep.

He's all right.
Oh, thanks, Gus.

So, are you gonna
finish up outside, Gus?

- Nah, I'm... I'm done.
- Do you want to stay for dinner?

Have you seen
the state of the kitchen?

What are you thinking, Ellie?
Sorry, Gus.

What are you doing back here?

I don't know.
I had to...

get away to finish a book.

I thought about moving
to the States...

New England...
work on those colonial houses.

You like it?

It's a job.

You're writing a book?

It's academic.

It's a...

survey on the origins of modern
science in the Middle Ages.

How experimental science
grew out of magical thinking.

Wow.

So, you're still into
all that stuff?

You remember?
Ah...

Ah, I was always into...
science and...

It's... it's history.

It's a specific period
in the history of...

science and...

I like history.

Good to see you.

You were making him
uncomfortable.

What's going on?

- I don't know. Nothing.
- Can you read basic social signals?

Nonverbal communication?

I know he's not high class,
and I'm sure he likes you.

But God, Ellie,
give him some credit.

Mom, why...?

Did I look stupid?

He's a lady's man about town.

That... that's okay.

Did I say something?
Did I look stupid?

He said he couldn't even
tell you were pregnant.

Why do you lock it?

Why do you lock the doors?

Because it's organized.

Are you still seeing Cara?
You need to stop that.

We'll have some ground rules,
okay?

Some basic rules.

You stop talking
about dark stuff. One.

Two, you let me
take care of you.

Three, be normal.

Four, I don't know.
Just don't get excited.

Okay, Mom.

I won't.
I'm okay.

I'm stressed out, too.

It's really difficult
being here.

We've got to keep
ourselves together.

Just keep telling yourself
that you're okay.

Now, go to bed.

Have you got your bell?

These experiments
are conducted with intention

at the molecular level.

The cells divide with intention
and develop into consciousness,

reflecting the gaze
of the observer.

Neurobiologically,
we have evidence

memory is encoded in DNA

and passed epigenetically
to offspring.

A form of physiological mnemonic
time travel encoded in the body.

I can't go into it fully
in the classroom setting, but...

I'm primarily concerned
with the modern codification

and demystification
through scientific

and rational parallels

of the twilight language
of Black Magic.

The alchemical Magnum Opus
of transmutation...

turning lead to gold,
the refinement of metals,

and turning base matter to mind?

Nature from nature,

and the creation of energy
from matter,

the extension of life,
the Philosopher's Stone,

occult images and symbols
that serve a dual

and unified purpose,
to both hide and reveal.

Images that obscure a truth
from those who do not know

and reveal truths
to those who are initiated.

The torturous process
of fully dissecting

and reassembling their victim...

...Do you understand?

It's not real.

It's not real.

Are you okay, Mom?

Yes.
Wonderful.

There is a girl
in Dad's office.

Go in.
It's okay.

Go ahead, sweetie.

Welcome home, Cara.

This is your home now.

Everything is gonna be
all right.

Does she understand?

Thank you, Mrs. Maybrick.

Oh.
You can call me, "Mommy."

Don't be ridiculous.

Ellie, come over here.

This is Cara...

your sister.

She's going to living
with us from now on.

Remember we talked
about this?

Do you remember?

This is your sister, Ellie.

I want you to be very...
very nice to her.

They'll be good together now.

Off you go.

Stay out of my office.

Oh my God.
My baby.

I'm sorry, Cara.

Please don't do this
to my baby.

I'll find the vase.

Cara, I'm sorry.

Just please don't do this.

Ah!

Ah!

I experience a deep sense
of peace in all situations.

I experience a deep sense
of peace in all situations.

I experience a deep sense
of peace in all situations.

I got your father fed.

I'm making Turkish eggs.
Do you want chili on yours?

I have some asparagus, too.

That has folate in it.
It's good for the baby.

I don't know
what's wrong with me.

I should get an ultrasound.

Something is wrong, ah...

I don't know if I'm doing
the right things for my baby.

Well, you've been
looking after yourself.

You've been taking
your supplements.

Right?

Here...

Asparagus has folate.
It's good for the baby.

What if I'm
doing something wrong?

How did you do it?

You were a baby.

A wonderful baby,
and you turned out wonderful.

- I should see a doctor.
- Yeah.

- A baby doctor?
- Yeah.

I've actually called
the family doctor.

I have some kind of black
ear wax or something...

Well, a woman's body
changes...

in pregnancy.

You need to rest.

Your books are
giving you stress.

Is the baby moving around yet?

Can I feel anything?

Can't feel anything
at the moment.

I'll check on you
in an hour.

Just try and relax.

Mom...

Are you still there?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Ich entschuldige mich.

Ah, I mean, to say,
ewige Wiederkehr...

Of course.

The ancient idea of infinite
loops and coils of sacred time

spiraling in on themselves
in an endless cyclical reliving

of the God's
sacrificial time...

No. Stop it.

No! No!

Stop it.
It's not very dignified, is it?

Come on.

No! Stop it.

The goals of modern
science are the...

the same Black Arts
of ancient days,

when time was an endless loop

of ritual sacrifice
and submission.

The artificial
extension of life...

Open up.
You're gonna take your medicine

and be around
for a very long time.

Don't want to.

I got Ellie back for you.

You should be grateful.

A family reunion.

Please don't do this.

What have you done?

It wasn't me!
It was Ellie!

I... I don't know why she did it!

Don't you blame this
on Ellie!

- That vase was priceless!
- Mommy! Stop it!

- You worthless... worthless little monster!
- No!

- You've no idea how valuable it is.
- No!

- You're gonna pay for this!
- Mommy, it wasn't me!

You're worthless.

You're a worthless
little monster.

Mom!

Clean all of this up.

What the hell are you doing?

I'm looking for the vase.

I've got everything really
well organized, Ellie.

And I need it to stay that way.

You can just go
unpacking boxes!

Why are you
doing this to me?

I'm working as fast as I can

so that we can get out of this
goddam crazy shithole!

Your book project
is driving you crazy!

We need to get out
of this place

before you completely lose it.

I know, Mom.
Sorry. I...

I want to go, too.

All right.
I came up

because I need you to get
your research off the table.

I'm gonna count to three,
young lady.

I'll find it.

One!

Why are you writing a book
about this...

weird, dark stuff?

I don't know.
I find it interesting.

Interesting to who?

Do you believe in this?

Do you think it's real?

No.
Of course not.

Well, thank God for that.

Ground rules.
Remember?

This stuff is not good.

These pictures.
Stress...

it isn't healthy.

Nightmares aren't good
for you or the baby.

You're really
impressionable right now.

With your hormones,
and... I feel responsible...

for the baby...

...and you.

You're gonna get over this,
Ellie.

It's just a bump in the road.

You just need to
believe in yourself.

Thanks.

Yes.

I'm gonna...
go to the toilet,

and then I'm gonna
make some tea.

Do you want a hand?

I was thinking it's been
twelve years.

Thirteen years...
the last time I was here.

Christmas thirteen years ago.

Have you seen an old, um,
broken crystal vase?

When you were
helping her pack?

It's all glued together.

I don't pack boxes;

I do architectural restorations.
So...

Ellie?

Are you still in the toilet?

Please come back downstairs.

It's me, Ivy.
I'm upstairs.

Is Ellie up there?

- Nah.
- What is it?

Can you both come down
and help me with Jack?

No. No...

No... you... girl fail.
You...

It's... stop it, Dad.
Oh...

Cara... Cara... No. No.

What is it, Dad?

Fail.

Cara... Car...

No.

Cara...

Her...

- Do you see her?
- You fail...

You fail...

I'm sorry, I don't, ah,
I don't understand.

- It's okay.
- Oh...

It's okay, Dad...

it's okay.

Oh...

Do you remember
why we broke up?

I still think about you...
sometimes.

That doesn't sound healthy.

Tell me about it.

Could you come over
for dinner later today?

- Tonight?
- Wouldn't you rather go out?

I... I can't leave
Mom here with Dad like this.

They need me.

- I have a lot of stuff to do here actually...
- Seven.

You don't have to.
Only if you want to.

Ellie!
Can you help me!

Mom, what's wrong?
What happened?

Oh, could you
get me some ointment,

some salve... burn cream.

Just something, Ellie.
I burned my hand.

Ah...

Ah, no don't...
no don't make a fuss.

It's no big deal.
Just don't worry about me.

I'm just...
ah...

I just got dizzy.

It's this place.
It's making me sick.

I don't know how I'm gonna
get through everything.

I don't know how
I'm gonna get it all done.

How did you burn your hand?

Where were you?

What are you doing?

Getting dinner ready.
I invited Gus over.

You think that's a good idea,
do you?

Why did you break us up
when we were teenagers?

I didn't break you up.

God.
You had to leave for school.

How, ah...

Why do you manage to blame
everything on me?

I never really made
any decisions for myself.

Oh, didn't you?
Well, now you did.

So, why don't I leave you
to make dinner of Gus,

young lady.

And give you some space,
so you can be alone,

and you won't bother me.

Unless of course you need
to ring your little bell.

I'm trying to be normal.

We'll have a dinner,
and we can all be normal,

and Gus can watch us.

You were the one that
insisted on coming back here.

And then of course,
go all crazy,

as if that couldn't
be predicted.

But yes, yeah...
Be normal.

No one is trying to provoke you.

I experience a deep sense
of peace in all situations.

It's a shame
you couldn't make the funeral.

I know it was short notice.
But...

It went done very well.

"It was a very satisfying
funerary experience."

That was what your aunt said.

She must have been menstruating.

To your book, to Gus,
to everything else.

Thanks, Mom.
I'm not drinking.

What are you doing?

Cauliflower needs to be
steamed not boiled.

I'm... I'm going to mash them.

What?
I always steam them.

I taught you to steam.

It's okay, Mom.

Don't worry.
It'll be fine.

No. It's already not fine.

Ah, just...
just let me do this, okay?

It's... it's just Gus.
It doesn't have to be perfect.

Ellie, you need
to cancel the dinner.

You need to call him and cancel
before he leaves his house.

- It's okay.
- He might have left already.

- Calm down.
- Don't tell me to calm down.

You're boiling the cauliflower.

Hi, Gus.
It's Ellie.

No, wait.
Um...

I'm sorry.
We're gonna have...

have to cancel tonight.

We're not feeling
very well and...

I think I need
to lie down...

Well, we'd just rather hang out

when we're all
feeling better and...

I'll... I'll definitely
call you back.

Okay.
Thanks.

That sounded fake.

Come here, sweetheart.

I don't want to upset you...

but I have just found out that
your father has been unfaithful.

You should know that,

because it's a betrayal
to me and to you, too.

Isn't it?

I'm sorry, Mommy.

Oh, you must be so hurt...

but we can be strong about it,

and we can do the grieving
process together.

I know you love your father,

but he's not a good
husband to me.

Some families are like this.

We do the best we can,
because family is everything.

Could you please leave, Cara?
This is a private conversation.

Poor girl...

it's not her fault.

Cara?

Dad wants me
to show you something.

Ellie?

Ellie, what are you doing?

You're not supposed
to touch that.

Can I hold it?

No!

Why did you do that!
Jack is gonna kill you!

Ellie!
What's wrong with you?

- What have you done?
- It wasn't me! It was Ellie!

Don't you blame this
on Ellie!

Stop!

Look what I found.

No need for Gus.

I broke the vase, Mom.

It was me.

Cara broke it.
You just don't remember.

No. I... I broke it
and I blamed her.

No, you didn't.

Cara broke it,
and I remember

because I was there.

No.
I was there.

If you don't stop this,

I'm gonna have to take
some drastic action.

I'm not a child anymore, Mom.

Yes, you are.

You're my child,
carrying my grandchild.

Now come
and help me with this.

Oh, my God.

Cara was better than me.

Well, your father
certainly thought so.

I'm gonna sleep
on the couch tonight,

in case your father
needs anything.

Can you bring me down
some pillows?

And my night stuff.

And don't go sleepwalking
all over the house.

This is just
to learn how to behave.

I'm almost done,
but I'm missing a piece.

I don't know where it is.

Please let me out.

Cara, darling.
Please calm down.

Yes, Mrs Maybrick.
Thank you but...

Calm down
and we'll let you out.

This is just to learn a lesson.

I've learned the lesson.

But there's only
thirteen pieces here.

Here...

You let her out in an hour.

Mom says you have
to put the vase

back together like it was,
or you stay in here all night.

Look what I found.

Can I have it please?

Ellie...

Please...

- Stop!
- Ellie! I need it!

- Girls! Stop fighting!
- Mrs Maybrick, she took it!

Stop! Stop!

- Let go!
- Stop!

Ellie...

What have you done?

Are you awake?

I remember what happened.

Oh my God.
Here we go again.

You made me jealous of her

and she was good.

She was the perfect child
and I...

I knew I was being mean but...

I wanted you to like me.

You pushed her over.
Don't you remember?

No.
Not really.

You were using me
to get back at Dad!

Admit it.

What is it
that you want from me?

The truth!
Say the truth!

And you blamed me.

I believed you,
even while it was happening.

You were fighting,
and it all...

it happened so fast.

I was trying to help you.

You've no idea
who your father is,

and Cara was everything to him,
and I was scared, and I just...

I just said it.

Aren't you my mother?

Aren't you supposed
to look after me?

Not blame me,
then pretend to forgive me

for the rest of my life.

I've wanted to tell you.

I was just so afraid
you'd hate me.

I was afraid I'd lose you and...

and then I wouldn't be able
to look after you.

I'm so sorry.

I'm all alone, Mom.

I'm so scared.
I can't do this by myself.

You're not alone.

It's important for us
to be a family now.

For the baby.

Will you get
some sleep now?

All these sleepless nights.
The baby needs it, too.

I need a doctor.

I know.
There's someone coming tomorrow.

It's good that you know,
after all of these years...

I feel so much better.

Ellie?

You get some rest.

We're gonna be okay.

I love you.

You know that, don't you?

You know that, don't you?

Let's go.

...There came a dream so fair

I stood in old Jerusalem

Beside the temple there

I heard the children singing

And ever as they sang

Me thought the voice of angels

From Heaven in answer rang
Me thought the voice

Ellie...

Mom! Ah!

Holidays are periodic
intersections

of sacred and mundane time.

Circles and lines.

Time is a hierophany.

- No, no, no.
- Time is truth in motion.

No, not the vase.
It's for Cara.

- A revelation of human will as divine co-creators...
- No! Mom! Please stop, God!

- No!
- You know, society only created itself

so that it could tell itself
its own story.

You know that, right?
All you kids know about...

Ellie, be quiet!
You're making a scene!

You're so obsessed.

...that can finally tell
the story of the flesh.

No personal will.
No progress.

No... no history.

No redeeming of time,
just this boundless,

limitless,
immeasurable, infinite,

submissive, subservient
perpetuation of these...

of these goddamn
irreducible archetypes

and symbolic... symbolic
fucking unspeakable events!

The so-called golden age.

Forcing evolution from minerals
to plant to animal

and back again.

Creatures that obey
their creators,

lacking any critical
thought or selfhood.

The de-centered self
controlled by the Master

through intentional
distortions of memory,

confusion and disaster!

- Black magic, the control of the broken mind!
- I can't...

Do you understand?

Stop it. Calm down.

- You're being difficult.
- Let me out!

I need to keep you
safe in there.

Let me out, please!

You're not in control
of yourself.

Dad!
What is happening?

Oh my God!

Ellie!

What's wrong with you?

You're making
everything difficult.

- You're making the baby sick with the stress.
- Ah! Let me out!

- I'm gonna keep you in there until the doctor comes.
- I won't do anything!

- Please!
- Just stay calm!

Think about the baby!

I am thinking
about my baby!

Stop screaming!
You're getting too excited!

I know you're not
feeling well.

I know you're scared.
I'm scared, too.

This has gotten
completely out of control.

You're gonna hurt yourself.

Ellie, this has gone
completely out of control.

You're not supposed
to be in here, Ellie.

I'm trying to
clean up this mess,

and I'm trying to
take care of you.

We're going to get
through this.

We're almost done.

We're having a baby,
a real live baby.

But you're reacting
strangely to the pregnancy,

and something is wrong.

You're really scaring me.

Am I dying?

- Help me.
- You're falling apart.

Your body and your brain
aren't holding together.

We never thought
you could actually conceive.

It should have been impossible.

It should have been
impossible.

We never thought you
could actually conceive.

- It should have been impossible.
- Cara...

I didn't want you
to see any of this.

I never wanted you to know.

I...
I'm not crazy.

No!

You never had a great memory.

Imperfect!

You're so lucky.
I could never get pregnant.

God knows how many
children he produced,

ones we don't even know about.

Have you gone through
your medical history?

...Trying to do this
naturally.

Doctors are part
of the problem.

Are you okay, Mom?

Yes. Wonderful.

There's a girl
in Dad's office.

What the hell?

Ivy?

Ellie?

Ellie?!

It's excited, Ellie.
The baby is moving.

- Oh, I'm finally touching it.
- Ellie!

There are ways the doctor
could get the baby out.

- No, Cara! No!
- The doctors can get the baby out.

- No, Cara!
- You've done so well keeping it for so long.

It's a miracle.

I am so proud of you.

I've never had a baby before.

I'll take care of the baby.
Ellie...

I will take care of this baby
just like it was my own.

I can make a better family.

I can take care of the baby.

Ah!

Ellie, what are you doing?

No!
Don't do this!

Don't do this!

Cara...

Please...

You can't do this.

No!

Ellie, you can't...

Don't leave me in here.

Don't leave me in here.

Ellie!

Ellie!

Don't leave me in here.

Ellie!

What's going on?

Ivy threw out
all my research.

Where is she?

Ellie?

I want to get out of here.

Let's get out of here.
