Fairytale: The Haunting of Helena Page #3

---

is it really?

Yes.

Mummy will take a look.

Do you want me to send her away?

There's nobody here, baby.

She's gone.

The doctor said that Helena never had such an

attack before.

You know, epilepsy would explain a lot.

But the tests were inconclusive...

As always.

Yes.

(Sobbing) Shh, shh.

I don't know what to do anymore, Robert.

I don't know how to help her.

Listen, if they can't figure

it out here, you know, we'll

find some other doctors.

But what if it's not a medical problem?

Do you remember that apartment

that I moved into after we split up

Yes, and then you didn't like

it, then you moved out again.

In 1938, a murder took place

in that apartment.

A man tortured and killed his wife there.

He ripped out all of her teeth.

See?

And you told Helena the story?

Please, just listen.

I know I may sound crazy,

but believe me, I'm not.

I didn't know about it.

Helena didn't know about it.

But then she started saying that that woman,

the woman that was killed,

lived in her room

and wanted her teeth back.

Look, if you didn't say anything about that,

then maybe somebody else did,

and, you know, it just got to her.

That's what I thought too.

At first.

And then?

And then, uh...And then,

I started seeing her too and her

husband and their little girl.

I'm not crazy.

You know me!

I'm a professional.

I've always had a rational mind,

but there's something about that house.

It followed us, and it's making

our daughter lose her mind.

Sofia.

Is this little girl sitting here

right beside me?

Is she--is she there beside the

the Jesus figure, talking to him?

And, tell me, is the mother here

somewhere?

Please, Robert, I beg you--

-- maybe we can find a way to save Helena.

We can do it together.

Helena has started speaking again.

She's trying to communicate with us.

She's asking for help.

You are Helena's problems.

No, I'm not.

And I'm gonna put a stop to that.

No.

No, you don't understand.

Oh, yes, I do understand,

Sophia.

No!

And I'm calling the judge

in the morning because Helena

is coming with me.

No.

No!

No!

(Crying)

Hey, pumpkin. I'm sorry.

Daddy's sorry.

Daddy's gonna get you out of here.

And then we're gonna take care of mummy.

Do you want something to eat?

They won't take me away from you,

right, mum?

What makes you think that?

I don't know where her teeth are.

I told her, but she doesn't believe me.

Why does she want them from you?

How are you supposed to know?

Why won't she just leave you alone?

Hear me?

Leave my daughter alone, you witch.

Leave her alone!

(Banging on door)

Everything

is okay? Do you need anything?

No, we're fine. Thank

you. (Door shuts)

Stay here.

Thank you.

how's Helena?

Yeah, she seemed--she seemed

okay.

We put her in another room.

I don't think she understood what happened.

She understands much more

than you might think.

Are you sure those were Robert's teeth?

I don't know.

I don't know anything anymore.

I'm not sure of anything.

Do you see him too?

Do you see him too?

We can't both be having the same

hallucination.

Anyone there?

(Creaking)

Aah! Sofia. I saw the light on.

Do you need anything?

Actually, yes.

I need to view this.

Can you help me?

Where did you put them?

Huh?

Where'd you put them?

Where'd you hide them?

God damn you.

But he hid 'em in a

secret place. (Deep breath)

Aah! (Both

grunting) (Screams)

The wolf doesn't eat children.

Robert.

(Crying) (Sobs)

I gave you back what you wanted.

Now leave Helena alone.

(Chuckles) I still can't believe it.

What?

Helena's progress is remarkable.

When do you think I should

tell her about her father?

I'd wait a little longer.

You're going home tomorrow, and

that in itself is already

a great result, right?

Yes.

Yes, it is.

I'm going home with my mum now.

Here, you keep it.

When I was afraid at night,

I held her close.

But I'm not afraid anymore.

The fairy's gone.

Arrivederci, professoressa.

Arrivederci. See you tomorrow.

So will you come out with us tonight?

You can't keep saying no.

Well?

Yes, all right.

I'll come.

Great.

By the way, I transferred the

the old film for you.

Do you want to see it?

What film?

The one that you gave me.

Do you remember?

manuela,

have you seen Helena?

Yes, she's upstairs.

Why?

The ogre has teeth again and

can now eat children.

Helena?

Helena?

Sofia, need anything?
