I want you to go to them.

But don't tell them anything.

Ok?

Ok.

I'll go have a look around.

Dad?

Yeah?

Now go to the kitchen, and look for Paul.

Be careful.

Yeah.

When you find him, be aware.

He mustn't know that you're listening to me.

Paul?

Hi.

Are you hungry?

I can make a sandwich for the two of us.

Alice...

I suppose you're already with him.

Erika will be here at any time.

We have to do it now.

Sit down.

You have to grab a knife...

...and kill him.

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

And I know it's difficult.

But you have to trust me. Kill him.

And when Erika arrives,

kill this b*tch too.

Do it quickly. We've done this before.

I can't remember how many times.

And it always ends up the same way.

The only thing we haven't tried,

is killing them.

No!

I can do it.

Alice, I'm very tired.

I don't know if I will be able to carry on.

If you don't do it,

something terrible will happen.

And it's better if you don't know it.

Do it now.

I know that you like him,

but don't trust him. Please!

Kill him please.

Kill him.

Please.

Kill him!

I have to go. Good luck.

What are you listening to?

Nothing.

Let me listen to it.

I'm making a sandwich. Do you want one?

No, thank you.

Have you seen your father?

He's gone.

Where?

I don't know.

You know what you have to do.

Dog?

Well... wait here.

Mum?

Mum?

Mum?

Mum?

Mum.

Mum?

Mum?

Mum?

Mum?

Mum.

Mum.

Open!

Open!

Open!

Open!

I hate you.

I hate you!

Are you ready?

Where did you see it?

Behind those bushes.

Where?

There's nothing there.

There was something black behind

those bushes in front of you.

Alice, please help me.

Is it you? or is it Paul?

Turn round sweetheart.

How long do I have to wait mum?

Just a few minutes. Come inside the room.

Dad.

I'm really sorry baby.

I think I've seen someone outside.

Where are they?

They're ok. They're in their room.

I'm gonna call the police.

Wait. Why? No. Don't call them.

Why not?

Well...

...Erika told me that, she would

never report him because...

...she doesn't want that for Paul.

I'm sure that a scare will be enough.

Ok. Listen.

Just go with them. And wait with them.

But don't tell them anything.

Ok?

Ok.

I'm going out look around there.

Dad?

Yeah.

Be careful.

Yeah.

Ok.

Paul?

Hi.

Are you hungry?

I can make a sandwich for the two of us.

Sit down.

Can you help me?

Alice!

Alice!

Alice!

What the f*** have you done?!

F*** you've done?! No!

F***ing no! F*** you've done?!

F*** you've done?!

F*** you've done?!

What have you f***ing done?!

Dad.

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

I'm gonna really try...

...and believe...

...everything you say.

Every last word.

I found something in the woods.

Ok.

What?

I don't know what it is.

What do you think it is?

I think it's a...

...some sort of a...

...time machine.

Ok.

Ok.

Ok, I do too.

What does it have to do with them?

I don't know.

I think it's a coincidence.

How does it work? I mean...

...you didn't explain it in the...

...in the video...

in the recording.

I don't know exactly.

I believe it works just like my arm.

Mentally.

Do you get it?

You have to think.

Show me.

Are Erika and Paul alright?

Yeah. They're fine.

I thank you.

My name is David.

And you killed my parents.

You killed my mother.

You killed my father.

My father's name was David, like mine.

My mother's name was Margaret.

Like her mother's.

My father likes the color blue.

And pizza.

And his favourite actor was Tom Hanks.

My mother...

She loved travelling.

She loves Paris.

And dogs.

She was the one that

taught me how to love.

They were just people.

Working all their life so

we could have a future.

They were important only for us.

And for our friends.

But I want to see them,

I won't be able to see them again.

Touch them...

If I have questions for them,

they're not there to answer...

If I want a hug...

What...

If I wanna see them again I have

to look at pictures on my phone...

They took...

They took the car...

They took the car the

same day that you did.

Same day!

My father's name is Adam.

My mother's name is Beatrice.

My father likes AC/DC.

Even though he's never attended a concert.

Cooking...

Even if he can't do it properly.

Dogs and animals...

And Star Trek movies.

My mother loves classical music.

The smell of the garden after the rain...

Pouring ketchup on everything...

Reading books...

Even bad ones...

And she also loves Tom Hanks.

We have to go back to this day.

Prevent all this from happening.

No.

What are we going to

do with Erika and Paul?

They're still in their bedroom.

We can't leave them there forever.

Concentrate.

You'll need more than a day.

You'll need more than a week.

You already know how much time you need.

I need seven months and twelve days.

Close your eyes.

When you get there...

...grab the car keys.

They're in my desk drawer.

You know which one?

In the piano room.

When you get there...

...what will you do?

Throw them. Throw them away.
