Darkness
Now, I want you to try and tell us
everything that happened.
Anything you can remember.
I can't, I can't remember.
We need your help so we can
find the other children.
A house.
- What?
- They took us to a house.
- Who?
- I don't know. People.
Do you think the other children
are still there?
Do you think they've been hurt?
Yes.
You're doing just fine.
We're going to find them.
But we need you to tell us more.
You've got to try and remember.
I can't, I can't remember anything.
Sh*t!
- Drink it.
- But...
No complaints. Drink.
- Did you get 'em?
- Get what?
The pencils.
Yeah.
Has he had breakfast?
- We're on it. How did it go?
- I'm bushed.
I think it's going to take me a while
to get used to it,
and on top of that,
night shifts.
Don't worry,
you're just starting.
Anyhow I'm going to my father
about getting your shift changed.
We'll see.
Do you know
where the toaster is?
I have no idea.
We still have tons
of boxes left to open.
Unless you give me a hand,
I give up.
Hey, big guy.
Hi.
- Today's your first day, isn't it?
- Yeah.
- You nervous?
- A little.
You'll see that you'll like it.
You'll make lots of friends soon.
Come on, Paul.
You're gonna be late,
come on.
Bye.
It's about time.
I was just about to get you up.
We've got to do.
It's too early.
And I have swim practice.
That's not for two hours.
And travel.
This is the sticks,
I have to take the bus everywhere.
I'm not waiting any longer for this
to start looking like a real house.
We've been here almost three weeks,
and with the notable
exception of myself,
one has unpacked one single box.
And don't forget, you promised you
were going to paint your room.
Mom, I don't...
I don't know if I'm staying.
I thought we discussed this, Reggie.
You know how your father
and I feel.
When have you
ever listened to me?
I just want to finish
school in the States with my friends.
Is that so abnormal?
- Hi.
- Hi.
What are you doing here?
You're crazy.
I'm just here to pick up
my American friend.
Well, you got here too late
'cause I got to go.
Just tell me if you're gonna stay.
I'm not.
- Come on, you got to go.
- Why not?
Go, please.
They saw you.
- We'll talk about it later.
- Promise?
I promise.
I'm warning you,
it's not going to be easy for your
family to live in another country.
Especially for the kids.
Oh, I know. It's a big move.
I'm sure hoping they'll get used to it.
It's a great place.
Think so?
It needs work.
Yeah, That's true.
of paint, you'll see.
Plus I got one month
before semester starts.
Good luck.
Did you meet?
- No. Hi.
- How ya doing?
I was just saying,
it's like a dream come true.
You know what? He's lying.
You don't want to play anymore?
Oh, thanks.
Everybody seems to be having
a good time, right?
Paul reminds me of Mark
when he was that age.
Before...
he left.
Now you'll have your grandchildren
all to yourself
and you're gonna get sick of them.
Yes.
It must be strange for them.
Poor Paul.
You'll see.
I'm gonna get jealous.
It's good to see you, dad.
That's it. It's over.
Finally.
Way to close a party.
Not again.
...experts suggest to be cautious.
Never look directly at the sun,
nor the optlcal device.
So take care, but make sure not to miss
it, Don't forget it's a unique event,
A very special eclipse
that takes place only every 40 years
and there are just 5 days to go.
- You lived here with grandpa?
- Yeah, when I was your age.
That's when you left for the States?
Why did you have to?
Well, your grandparents decided
to split up and...
I didn't have a choice
I had to go.
With your mom?
That's right.
Are you and mom going
- To split up?
- No.
Only families that don't get
along split up.
We get along,
don't we?
Yeah.
It's the second day and I bet
I'm the only one late.
Don't worry. You'll make it.
'We're like the lonely wildebeest
bleating his plaintive poetry
to the infinite herd."
Hey dad, do you even know
what a wildebeest is?
Sure it's...
It's like a cow.
And what's your cow saying?
"Get your ass
out of my face."
"Get your ass
out of my face."
Dad look, it worked.
Dad?
Hey, shithead,
what are you doing? Move it!
F***!
Help me!
Help me!
Please!
- When was his last attack?
- More than ten years ago.
Haughtlngton is unpredictable,
but it doesn't have to be serious.
As quickly as it has come,
it can go.
I don't know.
I'm going to give him Haloperidol.
But if he does have an attack,
you know about the risk of choking.
Just keep a close eye on him.
This couldn't come
at a worse time.
Don't worry. Everything will be fine.
Trust me.
Dad.
I'm okay, sweetie.
Nothing's happened.
Come on, let's go inside.
We've still got a lot
of work ahead of us.
This is going to be the best house
in the whole world.
Mom?
What happened?
Your father had a small attack,
but it's nothing,
don't worry.
I've been talking
to your grandfather.
He's got to go back on medication
for a while and that's all.
Mom.
It's starting again.
Nothing is starting again.
This is an isolated incident.
Don't blow it out of proportion.
You remember what happened.
You know exactly what this is.
And just now.
Just now what?
We're completely isolated.
What if something were to happen?
We're ten minutes away from
downtown and I already told you,
nothing's going to happen.
- Mom.
- What?
If you don't like this house
or your family,
then get your things and go.
Isn't that what you wanted, to go?
Well, go on then!
I think we'll survive.
Since the beginning of time,
people considered this phenomenon
in different ways.
But how do eclipses exactly work?
- Feeling better?
- No.
Come on, I fight
with my Mom all the time.
It's normal.
No it's not.
She's never been this cruel before.
I bet she didn't even notice.
- Sometimes people say things that...
- I don't care.
I'm not comfortable.
I don't feel happy in that house.
- Hey there, Tiger.
- Hi.
What are you doing?
Drawing.
You don't play with this anymore.
You used to like it.
Are you going to die?
No.
Listen buddy, what happened
is that your dad...
I got a little too tense
this morning.
Forget about it.
You're not going to let
that worry you, are you?
Come on,
time for bed.
Dad,
don't.
Come on,
lights out.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
What are you doing up?
I couldn't sleep.
Dad said I couldn't leave
a light on.
- Since when are you afraid of the dark?
- I'm not.
So?
It's different here the dark.
What do you mean?
It eats my pencils.
Come on, I'll tell you what, how'bout
we make a deal? I'll lie down with you
- Until you fall asleep.
- Promise?
Of course.
Just give me a minute.
Okay.
- I can't find anything wrong.
- There's definitely something wrong.
I don't know what it could be.
Look, I'll check the sockets.
