- Let me have them.

- Sorry?

Just for a few days. You can umm.. I don't know.

Play with your band, have a drink with your friends.

Jean, I think it's great. But the girls

have relationship with their own. I really really do.

But right now, I need you to get out

of my house. Before I kick your ass.

- I'll see you both very soon, okay?

- Hey!

- Do you've been coming around here?

- I beg your pardon?

Do you've been coming at the house,

playing with girls? / Of couse not! Why?

Doesn't matter.

Richmond.

Social Services.

Who should I speak to if I

believe my nieces are being abused?

Well, what kind of evidence

do I need exactly?

- How the hell did you forget?

- Are you kidding me?

You know she wants to take

the girls from us.

I'm exhausted, I'm sorry.

I forgot today is her day.

Jesus Christ, Annie. It's one visit.

It's not much to remember.

Annie, listen. They're just kids.

All you gotta do is..

What? Chill out? Take it easy?

You know I can't do this. This is not my job.

This is your job. / I'm out of here

in a day, just hold it together until then.

All right, fine, yeah. We'll see what

happens then. / I'll take care of them..

Those girls are the important thing

in the world to me..

- Awesome..

- Annie, you..

Okay, Victoria.

Are you nice and relax?

Are you feeling sleepy?

I'd like you to tell me

about Mama.

Did she live in that house with you?

The house by the lake..

Where did she live?

In the walls.

Where is she now?

I don't know.

I think you know. I think

you know where she is.

Where is she, Victoria?

Is she here, in this house?

Did she come with you?

Open your eyes, Victoria.

Look at this photograph,

is this Mama?

- Is this Mama, Victoria?

- Go away!

- Tell me about her.

- No!

Yes!

- What's going on?

- Nothing. Nothing's going on.

- Gerald, what happened?

- I have to go. I'll call you.

November third..

The seventh session was more

than revealing.

I think I have found the door, a passage,

that connects Helvetia into this house../ i

There is no rational explanation

that supports this theory. / i

But it is only the ability to embrace

the different reality,

that makes science expand beyond

the limits of what we know..

However, extraordinary claims

require extraordinary proof. / i

I'm never this close than ever,

to the real subject to my research. / i

I will come back from Clifton Forge,

with an answer.

No!

Make her stop! / i

What's wrong?

What's under the bed?

Victoria?

Victoria. Come. Mama.

Victoria. Come. Mama.

Mama?

Where, Mama?

I know your name.

I know what you want.

You shitting me. Are you shitting me?

Come, you crazy.

Okay.

Stop!

Stop it!

Stop.

It's okay. Come on.

What?

You like that?

Okay.

Okay. Door's good, window's bad. So, if

you wanna go outside, what do we do?

- We use the stairs?

- Right. Lilly?

We took stairs?

Yeah, that's excellent. Okay.

Let's go get breakfast.

Oh, God!

but the baby didn't.

Why?

I don't know.

- What could've happened to the baby, Victoria?

- I don't know.

Mama didn't show you?

to her baby.

She went walking in the woods. Looking

for it. She searched for a very long time.

And then?

- Then she found us.

- Why are you crying, Victoria?

Because she's sad..
