- What do I care about eternity?

I don't want to be eternal,

I just want to get out of this.

That's even better.

There is a way out.

But first, the device.

I don't trust you.

I don't see you have a choice.

Give me that, darling.

Come on, I know what I'm doing.

You first.

My way out.

As you wish.

You don't even bleed right.

And now the heart...

My God, Aurora.

Uncle?

Talk to me...

Let's go now... let's go.

Please.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Mine, mine...

everything is mine.

Mine, mine, mine.

Angel...

Enough.

You kept me waiting

long enough.

You...

F***...

not my nose again.

This has to end.

Oh, Mr. Gris...

now I have

to kill you again.

Ha!

Mr. Gris...

Go.

Go...

Come here, precious.

Come here.

Angel.

What the f***

does it take to kill you?

You'll lose more than I will.

Mine is only pain.

Get ready for some more.

What the-

Grandpa.

No!

I'm Jesus...

Gris.

Jesus Gris.

Jesus Gris.
