The third guest

I am going to tell you a little story.

That repeats itself every 30 years.

But slowly.

This is Victor. Doing origami.

An old passion of his.

He is going to... help me.

He is somehow my assistent.

This is Eva and Arthur.

A couple in love.

That came to visit the big city.

The couple came with the train from their small town.

Her parents don't know about it.

He didn't choose the fanciest hotel.

But in this times you can't be too picky.

It's really a cheap hotel. But love...

overcomes every obstacles.

We hope so.

Well, I hold back for a moment.

Please enjoy!

But don't be scared

We hear each other again!

Hello.

Come in. Good Evening.

Do you have a reservation?

Yes, we made a reservation.

Good.

Name?

Arthur.

Yes. Exactly.

First you have to... Take this with you.

You can fill this out in your room.

Ok, thank you.

This is your room key. Watch out.

Thank you.

Ok.

Important, there is no smoking in here.

Outside is a terrace where people smoke.

Come with me.

There is your room.

Thank you.

With pleasure.

Do you have any questions?

No.

Well.

You can move around freely here. Make yourself at home.

Do you mean we can go into every room?

No, your room is at the front. The first on the right.

Here is the shower for both of you.

Thank you.

Very good.

And...

do not enter the Swedish room under any circumstances.

Did you understand?

Yes.

Well. Beautiful evening.

But we are allowed to enter all the other rooms because we are the only guests.

No, your room is the first. Front right. Yes?

Hello.

It's ok, then do that later. Here you got your towels.

Thank you.

I did that.

Nice.

Looks great.

Everything all right?

Yes, everything is great. Many thanks.

With pleasure.

Have a nice evening.

You too.

Do you think this is a place where we should check

if they have cameras hidden somewhere.

Now you're driving me crazy. No. Definitely not.

What's this?

What?

This.

This?

What's this?

That's really rumbling about.

I haven't eaten for 5 hours either.

I wonder if the other rooms are crazy too.

There's nobody here but us.

That totally stinks.

Arthur.

I know that you are there.

I knew you were there. Don't do that.

Oh my God.

It's creepy.

Imagine someone lying in that bed there.

Like me.

Yes, just like you. Just someone strange.

Come over.

All good? For sure?

Welcome to my kitchen.

The lamp is broken.

What can I offer you today?

How about ...?

Did you know, there was an accident 30 years ago.

Something from above.

That's sad.

Yes. It was terrible.

I believe that.

Is it bad when I have to laugh?

What did he mean by that?

Probably someone jumped out the window.

Or an accident from above. Plane crash.

And then they built this ugly thing.

That's sad.

We can always go elsewhere if you like.

I'm serious.

No, let's just stay here for now.

I go shopping and then we cook something.

Accident from above.

Answer it.

No.

We don't have any stress.

I'll go to the toilet for a minute.

Is this okay? I'll be right back.

Ok.

Can we talk for a minute?

Sure.

Yes, I will.

What's happening?

I told my parents we were going here.

What did you say?

That I sleep at my cousins place.

Can I just get this?

Yes.

Did you hear that?

Stay here. Arthur.

Oh my God. I have a knife in my hand.

Oh God.

A knife.

The sharpest knife is best. That one.

Everything ok?

Yes. No matter.

Wait. Rinse that off here.

Hello.

Hello.

Everything ok?

All good. We only had a small amputation in between but we thought.

It's okay doing it over here.

What did you do?

It was a joke.

I just cut myself. Not so bad.

You think that's funny.

Well, I was making a little joke.

Nothing happens.

It's really not that bad.

30 years ago. He lay there all night.

He was bleeding. The blood flows very slowly.

I've seen pictures. There is still a stain, so we put a carpet on it.

So, don't do such jokes.

All right, we respect the hotel ghosts.

I always have a plaster with me.

Thank you.

You are welcome.

That's nice.

I'm gone after midnight. Lock the door.

What do you mean? You lock the door?

Hello.

And?

I don't know. He was gone.

Strange. That guy.

No fear.

No, it doesn't work.

Good Appetite.

Thank you. Thanks for cooking.

Enjoy your meal too.

Thank you.

Not good?

But.

You've been to the bathroom, haven't you?

Yes why?

I was in there thinking... oops. So cold.

Yes.

You can't do that.

That is not allowed?

No, that brings bad luck.

Really?

It's ok if we stay?

Yes, sure.

I don't want you feel...

No, no.

I want to be here with you.

Ok.

And you?

I wouldn't say all the time.

We should go.

And?

No.

Once more.

Wait.

It's over. It's a bad omen.

I don't feel it anymore. And you?

Nothing.

I don't feel it anymore.

It can happen so fast.

Wait, wait.

I missed it.

I don't.

I missed you, Viktor.

I missed the game.

I don't like the game. You know it.

How is the hostel going?

We survive.

You have guests.

Pair.

Pair. A pair.

A man and a woman.

You know it!

What is in there?

I think it is a room like all the others.

Maybe there ar insects inside.

And why shouldn't you go in there?

I don't know.

All the other rooms are open.

Maybe there are really insects in there.

This happens in hotels very often.

And they don't come outside?

Bed bugs.

Silverfish. What else could it be?

Sand fleas.

What are sand fleas?

Something like bed bugs.

Do you hear something?

Listen to it.

You are making fun of me.

No. No. Listen.

I really heard something.

Did you really heard something?

It's your turn.

No stress. We have not played for a long time.

Every move needs to be considered wisely.

Do you have a drink with me?

Naturally.

To old times. Yes.

Schnapps?

Yes.

I'm waiting for you.

Everything ok?

I'm sorry, it was a mistake.

You don't have to...

All good.

Really.

I can do that. All is well.

I have to... sorry.

Be careful not to go into the Swedish room.

To us.

On the game.

On the game.

Hey.

Hi.

Everything ok?

I just dropped a plate but the receptionist was there.

Ok. Sounds very reassuring.

Yes. He is a bit weird.

You are so nervous, is everything good?

Yes. Everything is ok.

Everything is fine, don't look like that

I'm just a little clumsy.

Nonsense. Do not stress yourself.

I dropped the plate.

Everyone does what they want.

Here in the hostel?

Always.

But then you have to keep things tidy. I'll help you.

I work alone.

Arthur.

What are you doing there? All good?

Yes, it's all good. I just...

The shower almost exploded.

You're kind of weird.

All good.

Would you like to have a look whether the guy from reception is still there.

Yes ok.

Somehow the light is spinning.

Hello.

The light in the showers is broken. It flickers.

I'll be right back.

Ok, thanks.

It flickered earlier.

As I said earlier. It happens.

But thank you for letting me know. You can use it now.

Thank you.

The light flickers in the bathroom.

Hello.

Excuse me, do you have a lighter?

Thank you.

I didn't expect anyone else to be here.

Are you visiting here too?

Yes. I'm visiting an old friend.

I'm visiting too.

Who are you visiting?

Nobody.

You are visiting and not visiting anyone.

The city.

The city.

I am here with my girlfriend. We are here together.

And where is your girlfriend?

In the room I assume.

Well then. A nice stay.

Thank you.

Viktor. One day it could be over.

And till then?

Until then we have to finish it. As always. We never had a choice.

That was my wedding with Hanna Svenson.

We met when we were very young. She moved to me from distant Stockholm.

It has been almost a hundred years now.

We both loved going out, having fun.

In the summer we watched car races, went to the fair, rode the carousel

for hours until we were dizzy.

Winter came and like many others we went ice skating on our frozen lake.

And no sledge run was safe from us.

I was fearless, just like her.

Winter was drawing to a close and spring was coming.

We organized small celebrations and invited magicians and musicians.

But Hanna was unhappy. Depressed.

Something was bothering her and suddenly...

she was lying dead in front of me.

We can always go elsewhere.

But I don't want to.

Ok.

I want to stay here.

Ok.

You, too?

Yes.

Mrs. Eva?

Yes.

You pushed the beds together.

Yes.

Your parents are on the phone.

Come over.

Yes.

Did you tell them anything?

I didn't tell them anything.

And why are they calling?

I have no idea. Do you think I'll tell them?

And ignore their calls. Only to give them the number of this hostel.

How are they supposed to know?

I have no clue. Why should I tell them that?

Should I talk to them?

No way.

Hey.

How are you?

All good. And you?

Now they know that I am here.

Maybe they'll call again. I said I'm here with my cousin.

You can pick up the phone and pretend you're my cousin.

How do they know you're here? Did they say something?

I don't know. I did not ask.

Ok.

Damn what's going on here. Nothing works in this damn hotel.

You can open your eyes again.

We do not need that. Really not.

You know what, I have an idea.

What?

We both blow bad thoughts on it and then our bad thoughts fly out the window.

One, two, three.

Oops.

I'll be back soon.

Hurry up.

Don't run away.

No.

I stay.

Eva.

What?

I'll be right back.

For sure?

Yes.

You don't look that good either.

I am fine. All good.

Ok.

What do you do?

Eva, where are you going?

Eva!

That was really beautiful.

Yes.

Was it all good for you, too?

All good. Yes.

Was it really your first time?

You know that.

Yes, but are you honest?

Yes.

All good.

Why do you ask something like that?

Because it was so beautiful.

Do you trust me?

Yes.

Look into my eyes. Do you trust me?

Yes.

What do you think if we sneak into the Swedish room.

Just you and me.

So beautiful.

So beautiful.

Checkmate.
