I gave up on this manuscript years ago.

I never meant to come back to it,

but then Ksyusha came into our lives

so I decided to try again.

Once upon a time,

only a gloomy river flowed from the marshes

to the White Sea shores.

Then one day a powerful tsar arrived with his army,

and ordered them to build a fortress.

They also built a tower with a large clock

that could be seen for miles.

They fired a cannon just as the clock struck noon

when it came time to announce their new city to the world.

And it was in this magical city of stone sphinxes and lions

that a woman named Ingrid was born.

Look, right up there.

They built that monument for a special cat named Elisei.

As time passed, Ingrid grew into a beautiful young woman.

Everyone who lived in the city loved her,

and she became known for her warm smile.

Eventually one spring, Ingrid met a young man named Peco.

He was the time guardian,

the keeper of the clock in the tower.

Every day before the cannon fired at noon,

Peco wound the clock so that it could continue

to watch over the city.

It didn't take long for Ingrid and Peco to fall in love.

This is Chizhik-Pyzhik.

If you ever toss a coin down then make a wish,

and the coin stays there, the wish will come true.

Peco and Ingrid's happiness was fleeting.

They had a daughter together,

but she soon grew sick and died.

In her grief, Ingrid lost her mind.

Heartbroken, Peco gathered his things,

and left with the key to the city clock.

Soon the clock stopped,

and the city was plunged into darkness.

Since then, Ingrid walks the streets of the Dark City

looking for the child she lost.

Now, only the time guardian's heir can wind the clock,

and return the city back to the way it was.

We anticipate heavy storms later this week.

According to the forecast this...

I loved the house. It'll be perfect for Ksyusha.

A big hall, and the fireplace, two floors.

It's a lot.

If we sell the apartment we can buy it.

And you'll finally be able to finish your novel.

It's getting so late and she's home alone.

What if that witch finds out?

That crazy old neighbor keeps telling her everything.

You know, I bet she hired her to keep an eye on us.

Should we poison her?

Maybe you should poison your witch.

Olga, we need her to make a decision about Ksyusha first.

Anyway, the probation period's almost over.

Irena's just a friend,

we both grew up together.

Well, she's just a friend who won't leave you alone.

What does she even want?

Olga!

Olga!

Mom.

I'm not your mother.

Now come with me!

Mom?

Did you have another bad dream?

It's because you're in a new place.

You'll get used to it. Lie down.

Does she need a psychologist?

The kids at school are teasing her.

She keeps drawing those witches,

and she's seeing doorways.

It's your Irena, she's scared of her.

She just needs a little more time to adjust.

Irena's not mine.

You are.

I chose you.

Irena, sorry I didn't call you back.

I've been trying to inform you

that Ksyusha attacked a girl at school.

- Okay, well who started it? - You know this isn't

the first time she's been in a fight.

- She's still adjusting. - And you're perfectly aware

that I have to do something about this.

- Are you sure? - Well, if it's easier for you, I can take her back.

Okay, I understand, we'll work with you.

- What do you need? - I need you all here tomorrow at 10.

We'll be there.

Damn.

Can you tell me what happened?

Look! It's the orphan girl!

Aw, the poor orphan!

My mom says that they got her to replace another kid,

but they won't keep her much longer!

They'll just send you back to the orphanage!

Now then, children, please raise your hand

if you were born in St. Petersburg.

Mm-hmm.

And how many of you came to St. Petersburg

with your family after you were born?

How about you?

How would she know where she was born, she's an orphan!

Time to be quiet now!

Look at her, I bet she's just gonna tell on us to her mom!

She doesn't have a mom!

She doesn't have a dad either!

She said that?

So what did you do next?

I pushed her.

Ms. Irena asked us to come see her tomorrow.

But I don't wanna go back to that place!

There's that scary room there and the witch!

I don't think we'll see any witches.

I'm pretty sure they only live in marshes.

This will be the last time we ever have to go back.

I promise.

'Kay.

Then can you tell me the story about the clock tower again?

If the clock in the old tower stops and goes backwards,

the city will die.

And the people will turn into soulless creatures.

So what do we do?

What do we do?

It's important to be kind to others.

But above all,

we have to value the time we have.

But if anything bad ever happens,

I'll take you to the Dark City,

and we'll wind the clock together.

This key is the time guardian's.

Here.

Hey, watch this!

Okay, let's start with diamonds this time.

Ace.

I've got one too.

Did they bring Ksyusha back?

Hello, Ksyusha.

Thank you for coming.

How have you been?

Have you been enjoying your new home?

I'm sure you probably miss your friends here.

I spoke with her school,

they said Ksyusha attacked another student.

We actually talked about what happened yesterday.

it's not her fault.

Ksyusha, could you step out into the hallway for a moment?

We won't be long.

Please, take a seat.

She has the key.

She has the key.

It seems to me that she's more of a challenge

than either of you are prepared for.

- Yes, but we... - Even your neighbor called me.

She's always been nosy, she's lying.

But who should I believe?

Her word? Or should I take you at yours?

Do you understand why this is concerning to me?

Sorry, Ms. Markovna? Your next appointment is here.

Excuse me. I'll go find Ksyusha.

One last thing before you go,

stop ignoring my calls, please.

So you came back?

Everyone does.

Hey, whose room is this now?

- It isn't anyone's. - A boy lived in there, but the witch came and got him.

And ate him.

Solovyeva, downstairs, it's your mother.

She brought your things.

She's not my mom.

I don't understand.

They take a child, play with them,

and then send them back.

Heartless!

Ksyusha!

Ksyusha, where are you?

How's the novel coming?

Well I'm working on it.

But I still use the typewriter you gave me.

That's really nice to hear.

Remember this?

I found it the other day.

That's the day you broke your leg.

It was you and Dasha,

you were jumping over that bench, fighting over me.

Then I had to carry you across the park.

And over the bridge.

- Yeah. - Then under the bridge.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was it, wasn't it?

Where'd Mom go?

Your mother is waiting outside.

Honestly, I'm just stuck on this novel.

Would you like me to help you?

Ira.

I'm not trying to come between you and her,

there's nothing to worry about.

I've moved.

Here's my address.

Stop by, we can have a drink,

talk... about your novel, of course. If you want to.

Thanks.

See ya.

There will be a storm tonight.

Yes? It's late.

Okay, I can come.

Can you remind me what the address is?

Aren't you going to eat?

You're leaving.

I have to go to the Dark City.

Don't forget, I have to wind the clock.

Do you think it's gonna stop?

Not yet, but if it ever does,

you know the witch and all her monsters,

they'll be able to completely take over the city.

We can't let that happen, because who are we?

We're the time guardians?

Correct.

Ah, smelt! I wish I could stay.

Then stay.

I can't tonight. I have to go out for a bit.

Sergei just called.

He wants me to write six episodes for something new.

Oh, that's good. What is it?

Who's gonna be directing it?

I'm not sure, I'll find out.

How about I drive you?

Mm-mm. Don't worry about it. I called a cab.

Just put Ksyusha to bed in a bit.

- Is it her? - Hm?

I'll be back soon.

- Hurry. - Where are we going?

- Head to Ward Four. - Mm-hm.

- We'll need to prepare the ventilator. - Mm-hm.

And call anesthesia.

Do you think that she'll make it?

We'll see if she lasts the night.

Poor thing.

Driving in this weather with a kid.

What was she thinking?

It's up to the police now.

Can you start an IV?

Your father, you say?

Are you sure about that?

There doesn't seem to be any paperwork,

no stamps or legal documents, nothing.

He's not the father.

He skipped town as soon as he heard about the accident.

Went south probably so he can write more fairy tales

with his old fling.

The woman isn't her mother either.

I'm telling you this, sir, they're con artists.

They're con artists,

and now we have another child to deal with.

For her own good, send her back to the orphanage.

She'll be safe there,

there in the dark room.

Excuse me,

I was told to... come pick up the girl!

You have her papers?

Here.

That's all I need, documents, stamps,

everything in their place like they're supposed to be.

If you have papers, you exist,

but if you don't... too bad for you!

Goodnight!

Please, sir!

Her mother's a terrible person, the very worst.

You're back already?

She's back now, Mom got hurt.

It's good to see you again, my dear.

Welcome home.

This is not my home.

You'll get used to it in no time.

We made your old room back up for you.

Remember where it is?

My dad is gonna be here any minute to come get me.

He won't take you anywhere.

That man isn't your real father.

He doesn't even love you.

We have always been your one true family.

What was that for?

It was... per... perfectly aged.

Who are you?

Paramon.

Paramon, yeah?

Also you ruined my pants, you jerk!

But you scared me.

I didn't do anything at all.

That's not wrong, you really can't do anything.

You are only a useless little girl,

just a parasite, that's it.

Meanwhile the state is forced to feed and clothe you

while you ruin things!

My things!

I didn't ruin anything!

It was a bad accident.

My dad is coming to take me home soon.

Your dad. That's who?

You keep saying that, Mom is coming,

Dad will come, but will they?

Will they really? Huh?

Here's your sheets, all ready.

Remember, keep them clean because if you don't,

then we'll have to see that it's dealt with.

I thought I smelled this,

I see that you met our resident drunk, huh?

I can't see how he drinks this swill.

Don't sit there, make your bed.

Sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bite.

Huh, resident drunk. From her?

The local vampire?

Can you turn the lamp back on, please?

I'm kind of afraid of the dark.

So, now that we're all settled,

why don't you tell me about this dad of yours?

Still raining.

Stay safe, see you Monday.

What a pain.

We've just received a report of an accident

at the intersection of Bakunina and Khersonskiya.

A woman and her child were injured in the crash.

Eyewitnesses reported that the driver

was behaving erratically and drove her Mercedes

into the oncoming lane.

How do you know about the Dark City?

My dad told me.

And who's your dad?

Well, my mom says that he's a failed fairytale writer

but then my dad says that he's the time guardian.

Um...

A fairytale...? Then...

So that means you must be the new time guardian!

He said he was gonna go to the Dark City

'cause he had to wind the clock on the old tower.

Just so you know, I am also an important person.

All the dogs there know who I am!

Where is there?

In the Dark City, of course, where else?

So what is your dad doing in our fair city?

He said that if he can go there and wind the clock,

then everything goes back to normal.

Do you mean it?

That's what it said in his notebook, at least.

But it also said that you have to make sure to do it

before the cannon fires at noon.

And it also says something about how there might be...

- The witch? - Yeah, there might be the witch.

But if he can't do it...

He didn't, sad to say.

The clock stopped, and now your mom can't get out,

and now you're stuck here forever!

- Hm. - So what do I do now?

What do you mean? It's time we blow this joint!

We'll wind the clock instead!

How are we supposed to...?

Just go for it!

Look out below!

One more.

Well, that was fun.

Over here!

Want some?

Why do you keep drinking that?

It's just... for when I feel dry.

Because I need the inspiration!

I too am a writer.

I write...

yeah, I write romance books.

Hm?

Listen to this.

If the cannon goes bam! That's it.

The city's far.

We're gonna need a ride somehow.

Do you maybe have a car we can take to get there?

I did, a motorcycle.

Lost it in a bet. Ghouls, yeah?

Ghouls?

What do you want, Paramon?

I need my bike to go to the city.

- That's too bad for you. - Wager for it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, fine.

What's your bet then?

This!

Ha!

Huh?

He cheated!

- Swindler! - Bring them back at once!

We need to find your father's notebook,

and then we can figure out which tower the clock is in!

Paramon, they're following us!

They weren't supposed to catch on that quick!

C'mon, c'mon!

Woo-ho!

You... actually live here?

Gotta admit, I thought it'd be nicer.

Did something happen to our house?

It's The Dark City.

Everything's different.

Let's go!

Paramon!

Where did all of our things go?

Paramon, come here.

Paramon.

Paramon, what are you doing in here?

I'm thirsty, so I'm just looking for another drink.

My parents don't keep any of that stuff.

How about socks?

One sock?

What happened to yours?

It's right where it needs to be!

S-s-s... a sock. That's why.

This is my dad's notebook.

This bridge goes to that tower.

Hurry up!

We got it. To the roof!

I don't want to go up there!

Well, that's too bad!

They're already gone.

What do you mean, they left?

How would I know?

Your wife seemed upset, she was in a hurry.

She was mumbling something.

I think she was talking about a witch?

There was also... a gray city.

The Dark City.

I need to come see you,

it's urgent.

The clock in the Peter and Paul Fortress stopped running.

According to one eyewitness account,

a bolt of lightning struck the clock directly.

Paramon, don't you have a family?

Family? I dunno.

If I do, I haven't met 'em!

- But isn't everyone supposed to have a mom and dad? - Are they?

Some believe that the clock

may have stopped due to negligence

on the part of the Fortress staff.

Others are not so sure.

Paramon, I can't keep up! I'm thirsty.

- What? - I'm thirsty!

Okay, we lost them.

Look at that! A falling star!

Now make a wish!

I've already tried and it never comes true.

It will.

Can you please tell me what happened?

It doesn't make sense!

The witch has your old man caught inside of a time loop, okay?

What do I do?

There's a legend, the time guardian,

he's the one who's supposed to keep the clock wound,

and your dad totally botched the job!

It's all that witch's fault.

Now the whole city is in big trouble, including us!

You're the daughter of the time guardian,

so you have to wind the clock and rescue your mom.

I'm his daughter?

Paramon! I'm not their real child,

I'm from the orphanage.

And this girl from school said

they're gonna take me back when they get bored.

"This girl from school said."

But what do you think, huh?

Yes, yes, yes, that looks right. Let me see.

What's this?

Oh! I bet these are some keys, and some sticks, and dashes.

Those are letters.

Paramon, don't you know how to read?

But I thought you wrote romance books.

Read!

"At midnight the clock will stop,

and my angel will be no more."

"All over the city,

the roar of the cannon echoes

as darkness settles like a curse.

The place I once called home has been swallowed up."

The streets are empty and the birds are silent

as the air is filled with nightmarish sounds.

That's 'cause you read the wrong part!

It's gotta be around here.

This is the part, read!

"A magnificent bridge was reflected in the water,

and a tower could be seen behind it."

Right! That's it!

This is where we're headed,

it's just beyond this bridge.

I'm telling you, she didn't come here.

Calm down, Olga isn't going anywhere.

She probably went out with a friend.

She would tell me.

And why did you give me that photo?

I'm sorry.

It'll give her the wrong idea. She trusted me.

Right now, just try to relax,

don't think about it,

you don't have to think about anything.

How 'bout work?

You're a great playwright, you should be working.

But what if something happened?

I need to call the police.

You don't.

Calm down and pull yourself together.

Stop making a big deal out of this.

Have another drink.

And come home with me.

Our teacher told us that family is very important.

And when kids don't have any parents

they may have problems when they grow up

'specially from the opposite gender.

Why are you talking about this?

I have to buy some worms.

Wait, what do you need worms for?

Because I do!

Where would I get them later if I need them?

Wait here, I'll be back in a minute.

But what are the worms for?

Stay here and don't move!

- What do you want? - I'd like some worms.

All right.

Come in, make yourself at home.

Take your coat off.

We can get you some new clothes tomorrow if you need them.

There won't be any need.

You need to rest.

Here's a towel.

Bathroom's over there.

So, do you still live alone?

No family?

You know how it is, I haven't met the right man

to settle down with yet.

What about that producer?

It didn't work out.

Tell me,

how do I get to that bridge?

You have to take the tram.

And what about my worms?

Hey, baker! You there?

What are you doing here?

We brought you some goods.

Grab 'em.

What was that?

Here, your worms.

On my tab?

You've racked up plenty of debt already.

I'll pay up when I finally croak.

Hang on.

There she is!

A fresh one.

We got you this time, kid.

Give me the key!

Don't forget to say hi to your mom.

- How much? - A hundred fifty!

I told you, she needs two milligrams.

Sorry, I got distracted.

We could have lost her. That's no excuse.

Look at that, you're still alive!

Yeah.

I said be quiet or they'll eat you.

You never said anything about eating!

Can we go back?

No! We have to keep going.

We gotta get you cleaned up first.

Paramon, stop! That's cold.

What?

That's not funny!

Ira.

She's crazy.

Why'd you get dressed?

My dear, you're tired,

you need to go to sleep.

Come with me.

My shirt.

Of course, and tomorrow we'll get Dasha.

We had to leave her at the orphanage.

Now we can bring her home.

What do you mean?

Our daughter, Dasha.

You're crazy.

You're crazy.

Just come to me.

Hello?

Hello.

What accident?

We've been trying to get a hold of you all evening.

- Show me. - She's right down this hall.

Her condition is very serious,

we've been doing everything we can to keep her stable

since she arrived, earlier.

I can only give you a little time.

I understand. I just need to see her, please.

You have 10 minutes.

Oh, god.

Are they biting?

I brought the worms.

Tear it!

Ugh!

Ghouls! They found us already!

We gotta get out of here, c'mon!

Let's get the key to the mistress, then we can kill 'em.

How did this happen?

Irena.

I wanted to say goodbye to you.

You do?

Yes.

Are you coming back?

I won't.

I couldn't stay even if I wanted to.

It hurts too much for me now.

It's over.

Our child is gone.

She's dead.

What are you talking about?

She's dead!

You've lost your mind.

I wish you luck...

my time guardian.

Ingrid?

The clock stopped exactly at midnight.

No way. It can't be.

"The streets of the Dark City terrified her,

and she was wary of her mysterious companion."

She's trapped.

Paramon, why'd you put this fish in my pocket?

It's really gross!

Throw it to Elisei, up there!

- To who? - The fish is for the cat!

Give it here.

But it's a statue.

Then try telling him that!

They put that stupid whiskered scoundrel up there

to protect the city from rats years ago.

But after a while, he found out

he could start extorting people.

And now you can't cross this part of the city

without bribing him with fish.

So that's what the worms were for?

Sir, are you still in there?

Sir, you can't stay here!

Hang on, I just need a bit more time.

Open the door. What are you doing?

The baker mentioned a tram.

That's it! Hurry up!

C'mon! Take my hand!

Well, we made it.

Hopefully this will take us over the bridge,

and then we'll be at the tower.

But what if it doesn't?

Those ghouls are still coming after us!

Run!

Hey. Hey buddy, stop the tram!

Stop the tram!

You don't understand, she'll die if I don't stop the tram!

Tram? What are you talking about?

All right, I'm calling the police.

The tram, the baker, the fish...

The cat.

Of course, the cat!

We're here!

We're here! I can't believe it!

That stupid fuzzball extortionist

actually decided to give us a hand!

Imagine that!

We never even had a chance of getting past the witch

when we knew she could see everything here!

Why did I let you talk me into this?

We're done!

Are you ready to go back now?

We don't even have the key anymore!

We could still get it back!

What if your dad really did just abandon you?

And what if your mom is gone?

Let's go back!

I won't go back, I don't wanna give up,

I'd rather keep trying!

Well of course you would, why not?

When I say so, we jump!

- Ready? - Let's go!

All right!

I've picked way worse locks than this!

Come on!

Olga, help her.

Mom!

Get in! You're wet! You're so wet!

- You cold? - Yeah.

At least you can swim, right?

Drink it down,

if you don't, you'll get sick.

Who are you? A doctor?

They call me Pell, I've been a pharmacist for many years.

How long is that?

A year, 10, or maybe it's been forever.

Everything here stopped with the clock, nothing changes,

nothing ever seems to happen in this damn city anymore.

Why do you think the clock stopped?

Rumor has it that someone very important

was responsible.

The witch!

That's right. You've heard the story.

They say she had a falling out with the man she loved.

He decided to leave her and move on.

Then he fell in love with another woman.

And now the witch is taking her revenge on the city.

She must have been in love.

Personally, I think there's more to it.

People are growing indifferent, ignorant,

stupid, and greedy.

No one values the time that they have

so their souls have become empty and lost,

they're just hollow shells now.

Exactly! Like those ghouls!

They're practically animals.

So why do they want the girl?

What are you up to, Paramon?

I was asked to watch her.

Who asked you?

I can't remember.

Are you trying to steal her soul?

Would I do that?

We just need directions,

we'll be out of your hair as soon as you point us

to the tower.

And what exactly is at the tower?

I'm going to wind the clock there.

Her old man used to be the time guardian.

Now he's stuck like the rest of us.

And what about your mom?

She's still in the hospital.

They sent me back to the orphanage.

You're an orphan? I see.

Well, the bridge is up.

You can't walk on water,

and the witch has blocked everything off.

But there's one way she doesn't know about, a stairway!

Oh right, I know that one.

If you go to the rotunda,

this stairway leads to a blank wall.

That's where you're going.

- The wall? - Right!

Now you'll need to remember the numbers written on my tower.

If you write them on the wall in the rotunda,

a portal will open,

it'll take you right to the tower.

I'll be sure to remember.

Are you sure we can get to the rotunda from here?

Hang on, where are you going?

Pharmacist, where are you going? Where are we?

I have to unload this fish.

You're leaving right now?

Wait for me here.

All right kid, come on.

Isn't that the...

What is this place?

It's...

I'm not sure.

Don't touch anything or you'll get stuck here forever.

Paramon! The notebook!

Good evening!

Good evening my dear colleagues,

and visitors of our institution.

I'm glad to welcome you to this modest occasion.

Please enjoy the food we've prepared for you and the wine.

Ksyusha, what a delight it is to see you.

My, don't you look tired.

Paramon, what're you excited about?

Are you really still pestering this girl

with your idiotic stories about clocks and towers,

you stupid washed up old drunk?

Get him some more of his booze,

and he can crawl back to the basement where he belongs!

And you, you were supposed to die a long time ago.

You're just evil because no one loves you anymore.

Everyone is just too scared to tell you.

What?

Hm. Hm?

What did you say to her?

The truth.

This way!

- I'll be back! - Come on!

Paramon! Over there!

- Open the door! - Sir, please! You have to let us in!

I just need a little more time.

Come on, come on, come on!

Paramon, she's coming!

I'm scared!

Running is futile!

First I'll break your legs!

Then I'll rip your heart out!

It's the pharmacist!

He's one of her ghouls?

That's not him!

Hurry up!

Look out, the bars!

One, two, duck!

This is it.

The devil's stairway.

Here! Write the numbers.

Optio exitus est.

- I thought you couldn't... - Keep writing the numbers!

Don't stop!

Keep going!

Please go away, I'm begging you, just leave.

I think we made it.

But where the devil are we?

A well is no good for messing around.

At least that's what my mom used to say.

But I thought that you didn't have a mom.

Maybe I do, maybe I don't.

I barely remember, she left before I turned two.

Mine left then too.

That's why we're wanderers

trapped in wells looking for a way out.

We'll always be looking for a destiny that's ours.

So where's the way out?

Every choice you ever make, that is your way out, Ksyusha.

Hey Paramon, did you just call me by my name?

That's it!

Everyone has a clock just like this.

Eventually all of them stop,

and they don't start again.

Not everyone is able to rewind their clock.

We don't always use that chance.

I missed my chance and stayed in the orphanage.

That's why I'm a wanderer.

I'm trapped in the Dark City

always looking for a way out.

But I don't have one anymore.

So does that mean... am I trapped?

You?

Don't be stupid, stupid!

Come on, let's go, let's go before the cannon fires!

Wait, that's... that's the bridge from your father's notebook.

That can't be right.

The bridge is up.

The pharmacist lied to us,

the tower's on the other side.

We're stuck here.

I'm sorry.

Paramon, don't sit down.

Was all of this a lie?

Was it a story just like the ones my dad

is always telling me?

Did they abandon me like everyone always says?

Then how about we go back to the orphanage!

That's where we both belong, right?

It won't work.

Say something!

I get it.

There aren't any clocks, or towers, or anything!

It's all just lies! Paramon, I'm tired! I'm tired!

Please, I wanna go to sleep!

Will you just get up!

Maybe you're right.

You're right.

We can go back together,

and no one's going to blame you if you do.

But sooner or later you'll wonder,

and you'll ask yourself

did I use that one tiny, little chance

to change my life?

Did I still try to wind the clock anyway

even if I lost my key years ago?

Then we should try it.

We can find a way to wind the clock without the key,

and then we can go home!

Keep going, we can make it!

Get them.

Paramon!

Hurry! Quick!

Paramon, we have to jump onto that ship!

What? You're crazy!

I'm not scared anymore.

They've lost their power!

They're flying away!

I'll follow you, yeah?

Paramon, now!

- Optio... - Jump!

...exitus est.

Always in my way!

Paramon!

Paramon!

No!

Paramon.

There's nothing to fear.

"At midnight, the clock will stop.

All over the city, the roar of the cannon echoes

as darkness settles like a curse."

You can't stop me now!

Ksyusha!

Help! Please, come quick! There's something wrong!

Olga!

Ksyusha!

You have to make it!

You're the only one.

Only you can wind this clock for yourself!

We can't let that happen, because who are we?

- We're the time guardians? - Correct.

Ksyusha.

Mom, Dad, I had such a scary dream just now.

This is the new house.

Hey, Mom?

Yes, my love?

What does that say?

Optio exitus est.

It means "your choice is the way out,"

it's Latin.

- Hello. - Morning.

Special delivery.

Does a Kshusha live here?

Ksyusha, she does now.

For you.

Aww! How cute!

What are you going to call him?

- Paramon. - Yeah?
