But I suggest you go for a walk.

I wait.

Hello Jenifer.

Your fathers atorney,

Mr. Shapiro called us from New York.

He was very worried about you and extremely

angry with us for, lets say, loosing you.

What a bastard.

He sounded very resonably on the phone.

He spoke to me and only calmed down when

I told him I would come for you myself.

He said I would find you here.

I'm not going back to that school.

- Of course not.

He said you want to go back

to America immidiately?

Is that true?

- Yes.

Well, he authorised me to buy you a ticket

and to give you some money.

Is that all right?

Ok.

- Good.

Good Luck.

What time is my flight?

Twelve noon, tomorrow.

The last flight of the day has already left.

And what about tonight?

- I'm not gonna sleep in the school.

I'm not going back there, I'm not gonna sleep there,

I never wanna to see this place again.

Don't worry, if that's what you want, it's all right.

Mr. Shapiro said to do whatever you want.

You can stay with me tonight.

It's enormous.

Do you live here alone?

No.

You sleep in here Jennifer.

I hope you find it comfortable enough.

I hope you like it here.

Looks fine, thank you.

Why are the mirrors covered like that.

I told you I don't live alone.

I have a small son.

He is very sick.

I covered the mirrors for his sake.

He doesn't want to see his reflection.

I worry about him very much.

He's changed my life completely.

Sometimes I think he's driving me crazy.

I'm sorry.

These are things that can happen in a womans life.

But don't worry.

You won't see him.

Oh, I don't mind if...

It's better if you don't.

He stays in his room with his crazy thoughts.

Would you like something?

A cup of tea?

No, I don't wanna bother you.

It's no bother.

I am sorry, I kicked the train by mistake.

I've hit him.

Maybe he's hurt?

Hurt?

Don't grab him like that.

- Why not?

What on earth are you thinking?

It's only a doll.

You are a very sensitive young lady.

Are you frightened?

- No.

Yes, you are.

I can see it in your eyes.

You are burning up.

You have a fever?

No, I don't.

- Yes, you do.

In this part of the country, with this wind,

it's hardly surprising.

I'll get you a pill.

You don't want to leave

with a cold tomorrow, do you?

Imagine what Mr. Shapiro would say.

You should take them both,

but if you prefere, one is enough.

I don't want any pills.

Where is the bathroom?

- The bathroom is over there.

And you will take the pills!

I never take any pills.

Do what you are told.

You are my responsibility.

I'm not ill.

What kind of tabletts are this?

Against fever, now take it.

You are hurting me.

- Take the pills!

All right I'll take the pills.

I'll get you some water.

- I can get it myself.

Sh*t. Get out of the way.

May I close the door?

What a b*tch.

The larvae of the great sarcophcus

exclusively live of bodies.

Even of human bodies.

Jennifer, what are you doing.

Jennifer, answer me!

Open the door!

Answer me!

How dare you act like this.

Let me in!

Open the door!

Why didn't you open the door?

What were you doing?

Did you take the pills?

What were you doing?

Who do you call?

- Morris, just to tell him I'm o.k.

Tomorrow.

- Now.

Just a short call.

- No!

Let me go.

I said no, do you understand?

You are in my house

and you are doing what I say.

What I wanted to ask.

working in Basel, you were assaulted?

Surely you haven't forgotten the incident.

No.

Look at this.

He pulled me to him to the bars.

I understand Frau Bruckner forgive me.

But we have to be precise.

So you moved here 8 months ago.

Is that correct?

Yes that is so, Inspector.

Please come this way.

And where were you living before that?

Outside Zrich.

Perhaps the murderer hides his victims.

He likes to keep in

physical contact with them.

He's a psychopath.

Mr. Schapiero?

- Yes.

Your car rental agency.

Your car is right outside.

Here is the key.

Do you need a map, sir?

No, thank you, I know the area.

Don't be afraid. I'm Inspector Geiger.

I want to help you.

Stop shouting.

Go away. You scare me.

- I won't hurt you.

I don't want you here.

- I know your mother was bad.

I wanna help.

- You can't help.

You don't have to worry

about the mirrors anymore.

It's all over.

Morris!

- Jenniffer!

He was desceived but he was my son.

And you killed him.

Why didn't I kill you before?

I killed the Inspector and your Professor friend.

And now I may kill you to avenge him.

Why don't you call your insects

Go on! Call them! Call them.
