Okay.

(electronic buzzing)

Before you go to sleep, stir

yourself in that direction.

See what happens.

And when you wake up,

try to recall as many details as possible.

Things like the place and

the time, stuff like that.

But...

Do not force it.

Let it come to you.

Now girl, let's get a drink.

(dramatic music)

(electronic buzzing)

(eerie raspy breathing)

I'm home.

(gasping)

Jesus, grandma!

I didn't see you standing there.

(sighing)

You scared the sh*t out of me.

I'm sorry.

I know it's not an easy

time for you, for any of us,

but especially you.

I know you're heartbroken.

You've barely said a word

to me this whole week.

Look, I understand what

you're going through.

It's just...

Just so sad.

It hurts so much to know

what you experienced

when you were a child, just a little girl.

And I promise you, I'll tell your story.

I'll-I'll never stop telling

your story until people listen,

and everything that's been

happening to our family,

I know that you're blaming yourself,

but, I want you to know that

I don't think it's your fault

and you have to stop tormenting yourself.

You've lived through enough heartbreak.

I know what you think.

A spoiled brat, how could

I comprehend any of it?

I'm too young and immature to see things.

But I've been trying really hard and

(chuckles) I know you think I'm spoon-fed

and have all these privileges and freedom,

but I understand you now,

more than ever, and...

I think you're the most incredible woman

for having lived through

the genocide and both wars.

And you have the strength to carry on.

I need you back in my life so bad...

Please, grandma...

Mom?

Something's wrong with Tatik!

Mom!

Tatik?

(Maro screaming)

This is it.

Grandma's given up.

And if she gave up, then what

else is there to be done?

(tense music)

I...

I couldn't figure this

out, I failed my family.

She might be leaving us soon.

And that thing...

That man...

I am not scared of him.

I want him to show himself.

I want to confront him.

So what are you waiting for?

Come out and confront me, I'm waiting!

Come and take it all, I-I dare you!

Mom!

(bell tolling)

(eerie music)

[Maro Voiceover] Grandma is gone.

The curse is in motion and

seems to be unstoppable.

I am lost.

She didn't particularly like coming here.

It reminded her of a lifelong betrayal

she and millions like her suffered.

[Mysterious Voice] Keep the

promise, promise, promise...

Keep the promise, promise, promise...

[Maro Voiceover] How could

I ever understand her pain?

The loss, the betrayal?

[Mysterious Voice] Keep the

promise, promise, promise...

[Maro Voiceover] My family

has carried this curse

for 100 years.

I will keep the promise

I made to my grandma,

the promise to never stop,

now matter how bad it gets.

I am following Garo's

and Dr. Freedman's advice

and I am trying to establish contact.

I think I'm getting close.

[Mysterious Voice] Keep the

promise, promise, promise...

Keep the promise, promise, promise...

Keep the promise, promise, promise...

Keep the promise, promise, promise...

Keep the promise, promise, promise...

Keep the promise, promise, promise...

(dramatic music)

Keep the promise, promise, promise...

Keep the promise, promise, promise...

(water trickling)

[Maro Voiceover]

Dr.Freedman talked about

the power of grief.

Garo said that sleeping is

like swimming in the river

between two worlds,

reality and subconscious.

Grandma's deepest pain had always been

her childhood memory of Turkey.

I have all the puzzle pieces now.

(dramatic music)

People everywhere.

Crowds.

Women.

Children.

It's hot, there is no water.

Everyone is disoriented.

They feel like they're

walking in a giant circle.

No one had any food for days.

They began to hallucinate.

The guards are circling

around on their horses.

They were told they are

being taken to a safe place,

away from war.

Taken out of their homes,

with not much to carry.

Girls are taken away into slavery.

Children orphaned by hunger and illness.

They run in gangs, begging

for food, stealing.

Many die untreated.

Bodies everywhere.

Broken legs.

Broken arms.

Broken spirits...

(sighing)

(gagging)

This is not happening, this is not real...

(gasping)

[Mysterious Voice] Keep the

promise, promise, promise...

I'm not scared of you!

Show yourself!

I know who you are, I know all about you!

(eerie raspy breathing)

I know why you're here!

Show yourself, come face to face!

(eerie growling)

Stop killing my family!

(eerie growling)

I have something to tell you.

And you must listen, do you hear?

(eerie growling)

(tense music)

(sighing)

This is all just a dream.

It's only a dream.

(gasping)

(dramatic music)

This is a dream, you're not real.

(eerie growling)

This isn't real...

I know why you're here.

I'm sorry.

(eerie growling)

I'm sorry for, I'm sorry

for what happened to you,

I'm sorry for what we did

to your wife and children.

I'm, I'm sorry for all

the pain we caused you.

Please!

Please forgive us!

Please!

Please forgive my family!

(eerie growling)

(dramatic music)

(water trickling)

(breathing heavily)

(dramatic music)

(eerie raspy breathing)

(electricity buzzing)

[David] I'll fix it.

[Mysterious Voice] Keep the

promise, promise, promise...

David?

David?

(dramatic music)

(gasping and shuddering)

[Mysterious Voice] Keep the

promise, promise, promise...

Keep the promise, promise, promise...

David, where are you?

[Mysterious Voice] Keep the

promise, promise, promise...

Keep the promise, promise, promise...

Keep the promise, promise, promise...

Keep the promise...

Keep the promise...

(dramatic music)

(ragged breathing)

(plastic crinkling)

(Eva gasping)

[David] Eva!

Eva!

No!

No, Eva!

No!

Papa!

(Maro breathing heavily)

Mom!

Mom?

(Maro gasping)

Mom!

Mom!

No!

(dramatic music)

(Maro sobbing)

Dad?

Dad!

(eerie raspy breathing)

[Mysterious Voice] Keep the promise...

Keep the promise...

Keep the promise...

Keep the promise, keep the promise...

(eerie raspy breathing)

(Maro screaming)

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

[Mysterious Voice] Keep the promise!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

[Mysterious Voice] Keep the promise!

- Keep the promise!

- I'm sorry!

[Mysterious Voice] Keep the promise!

Keep the promise!

Keep the promise!

Keep the promise!

[Both] Keep the promise!

Keep the promise!

Keep the promise!

Keep the promise...

Keep the promise.

Keep the promise.

Keep the promise.

Keep the promise.

(dramatic music)

(keyboard clacking)

Miss Grigorian?
