Come here, little mouse.

30 YEARS LATER

Betriek?

You can hear it in just a sec.

Shouldn't you go pick up your daughter? It's nearly four.

There you are.

Why have you picked her up already? You know I don't want her riding with you.

I've got her now. You want me to turn around?

That's not the point…

Wait. Gotta go.

Hey, little monster. Home already?

Gran drives faster than you.

We were here in one minute.

Wow. That's fast.

And I sat in the front.

What? Hanna.

What was so important that you couldn't answer the phone?

Nothing. A lunch meeting.

Would you take this to Roel? And some bread.

Yes?

Hey, Hans.

Dinner is served. Don't worry, we'll let him go this time.

Although this thing is still not permitted.

Want another drink?

Next time.

Why were they here? No. I'll eat with mum later.

They asked if we'd seen the Bag Man.

He dug some deep pits in the bog. They found something strange.

I saw him on my way here.

They'll run into him then.

Is it good?

Mum made it.

That's not my boy, right?

What's wrong with that man, mum?

I don't know, sweetie. He's sad. What's all this?

Hey, put your seatbelt on.

Gran lets me sit without.

Okay.

Tell that to the doctor on Monday.

-No -Yes. You bet.

Mummy? I had a bad dream.

Another one.

And when I woke up, you weren't in your room.

I'm not going anywhere without you, poppet.

Promise?

Promise.

Nothing.

Did you see someone in the garden?

No.

I thought I saw someone.

Yikes.

It really looked like a guy.

Close the curtains.

Did one of you go outside just now?

See?

Betriek saw someone in the garden.

Are your doors locked?

Yes.

Maybe it's the Bag Man.

He's dead.

What?

Hans told me.

And you didn't tell us?

It was hypothermia. Nothing strange. So it can't be him.

Well, terrific.

Mama.

Mama. Mama.

What's up?

Granddad is quarrelling.

Get out. This is the third time. Go away with your people.

Are you making a scene?

Look, it's cold.

I'm trying my best, but no one here speaks Dutch.

Here's another one. Yes. Yes.

We don't want folks in our garden at the crack of dawn.

I suspect someone in your digging club.

The next idiot who comes sniffing around won't live to tell the tale.

Did you tell him?

Yes, it's clear.

Good.

I only ever had this at night. I'm not driving the car at night, am I?

And the scan?

They'll tell you at the hospital.

You've been through this process a few times now, even with my predecessor.

At some point it's useful to find out if it's not triggered by physical causes.

Has anyone ever discussed that with you?

It's been discussed.

Right.

In some cases unprocessed trauma can cause lots of physical symptoms.

It may sound strange, but therapy could be a solution.

We'll consider it.

This is a sensor. It has a tiny eye.

So if an elephant tiptoes around in the garden.

An elephant? There's no elephant in the garden.

No, but at night, the eye will see it.

It will make a picture.

What are you so upset about?

Yes?

Oh, sorry. It's not important.

It's fine.

Put a sign on the door when you're recording.

What's up?

No need to worry about me. I feel fine.

Okay, good.

I'd like for you to start turning around…

Little horse, where are you?

Edwin?

On the pyre.

Louder.

On the pyre.

-Edwin? -Yes?

But she is not really a witch, is she?

Yes, I like it. Good.

Yes?

In principle.

It's not exactly what I thought. We already have something that works.

Yes. But this gives it more punch, you know.

True. But does it need punch?

I wonder.

Will I see you later?

I'm not sure that's a good idea.

Okay. Up to you.

At all.

Because of the music?

No, that has nothing to do with it. Why? Have you decided?

No, not yet.

Okay.

Will you read the Panama book?

Again?

Just the pictures.

Okay.

Mama?

Can we do this forever?

What?

Read books.

Maybe you want to do that with your own kids one day.

No, I prefer keep doing it with you.

What are you doing?

I won't stay all night.

Yes.

I won't.

I got something for that. See, super comfortable.

I don't get why you do this to yourself.

Mum, there is something in the kitchen.

What?

There's a guy in the…

Go upstairs. Now.

Now.

Mummy.

Mama.

Dammit.

See?

He has no idea how this could have happened.

Apparently this was a very nice guy and everybody liked him.

That's what they said about the Bag man before he lost it.

Come here.

It's all happening again. She's back.

Here we go again.

We must leave as soon as possible.

Keep it up. Do you want to go back to the clinic?

That is why I don't like coming here.

I've drawn four suns now.

-Purple. -Yes.

Grandma?

Get her out?

We'd better.

Please don't ever ask me to do it again.

If you keep pressing that button there's no point.

I'm going to the toilet.

Betriek.

Ma'am? Can I help you?

No, I'm just waiting for someone.

Nu a murit.

Nu a murit.

Nu a murit.

Where the hell have you been?

I was lost.

Lost? The toilets are next to the entrance.

I'm feeling awful today.

I'm talking to you. I don't feel well today.

Are you listening?

I'm being dragged here like I'm a small child.

Five seconds.

Betriek!

Betriek!

Things he couldn't have known, but was told from beyond.

You're one of those.

No, I…

It's alright. Just teasing. I was brought up with that too.

Helen's whispers.

She talks about this. The legend of Feike.

My father was convinced of the whispering out in the bog.

He was Micha's spiritual guide at the time.

His panic attacks stopped after that.

They found him sitting in the lotus position.

My father told him that.

When they told me that, I knew… he must have been petrified.

Excuse me.

You asked if it could have been whispered to him.

The answer is yes.

I'll give you my phone number. It might help. If you have any questions.

Thanks very much.

We need to go back to the camp.

Yes, I'm fine.

You don't look good. Let's get you warmed up.

Betriek.

Jesus, mum.

Everything okay?

You scared me.

I heard noises. Are you ill?

No.

I'm okay now.

Some gray smudges.

Is this why I had to come?

What does it take pictures of?

What?

If there's nothing there, what makes the camera click?

And the ladies? Have they recovered from the shock?

If that Romanian worries you: he will recover.

That's what they told me.

It was not his fault.

What?

It was not his fault. He was only listening.

I feel we've gone back in time.

30 years ago we were in the same place. You weren't as wrinkled.

But you're wearing the very same clothes.

Roel.

Roel.

What's going on?

I need something from you.

Hanna.

Mummy?

Where is grandpa?

I don't know, sweetheart. He'll be here soon.

Kiss. Have fun.

Hi, little monster. You did great.

Did you see me?

I did. You're a star actress.

-Did you make this? -Yes.

Where did that come from?

I made it up.

Let Granny have the flower.

Gran? Cleo says Feike really was a witch.

Does she? How does she know?

Her daddy told her.

Where were you?

Did Granddad forget?

I guess so, honey.

Jerk.

We were supposed to go to the party.

I know, sweetie. We'll go as soon as I've finished something.

Hi.

My father was a psychic.

I'm not. I'm more into tropical aquafauna.

You can't tell by their looks, but fish talk to each other.

Through microvibrations. They transmit really subtle signals.

That's why it's such torture if you tap on the glass. You really mustn't.

It drives them crazy.

I'll bear that in mind.

That's kind of how it worked with Micha.

Some people are more sensitive to those vibrations than others.

My son. Your daughter. You.

I try not to mess with it too much.

But once in a while, that signal is a distress call.

A spiritual S.O.S.

And you'd better listen.

Isn't that why you came?

Take a seat there.

To tell you the truth, I haven't done this very often.

Close your eyes.

Oh no.

This is Jonas, leave a message.

You're not allowed in here.

What are you doing?

It says here you found eight more.

We did.

Where's Jonas?

Jonas?

Are you Betriek?

Are they all women?

Yes.

From different eras?

Listen, we're not supposed to…

Are they all women from different eras?

Yes.

And all related?

Hey.

Your daughter is crying like there's no tomorrow.

What are you doing?

We're leaving. Your things are ready downstairs.

What? Why? Where?

Did you know about the bodies they found?

Here in the bogs. Dozens of women with their throats slit.

Sounds familiar?

You mean the Feike myth?

You know darn well what I mean.

Help me out here.

You need me to spell it out?

Someone is trying to hurt us. Those women were all sacrificed.

Throats slit by some maniac. Just like grandma.

Is that clear enough?

How do you know that?

Does it matter?

I'm getting dad.

Honey.

Voicemail of Betriek. Please leave a…

Jonas.

Sweetheart.

All his traps are gone.

What?

Mummy.

Granddad is being weird.

Come here.

Roel.

Do something.

The other door is open.

Come. You stay here. Don't let anyone in, promise?

Dad.

Daddy no, let go.

Mum?

Mum.

No.

It's alright, sweetheart.

It will be over quick.

Easy.

Betriek?

Betriek.

Betriek.

Hanna.

What?

Hanna?

Come here, darling.

Hanna?

-Already? -Come.

Behind the trees there was a small house. They had never seen the land before.

What is this word?

Never. We will never have to leave.

And that makes you think…

We could have stayed home either way.
