Possession Page #5

My son took the car.

An automatic one...

Can you look after Bob

till I get back? -What is it?

It's Mommy calling me.

No, not, not here.

Go to the toilet.

Need a Tampax?

How can you joke

while I'm so hurt?

There are corpses in there.

At least two bodies.

I thought she was pulling

my leg, but no, there's blood.

She cuts them. A monster,

a joke, but it was alive.

You're drunk, Heinrich.

She cuts us to pieces, Mark!

-Maybe she just didn't want to see you.

Don't joke, I am not joking!

-Alright, I'm not joking.

So what do you want?

-Don't you understand?

She's killing people.

I understand she's killing people,

so why do you call me and not the police?

She is sick, Mark,

doesn't that mean anything to you?

There are dead bodies there!

-I don't believe you.

Maybe you're stoned

on some sh*t you suck on.

Some mushroom you gobble?

Perhaps you did it to yourself.

Maybe you're learning how to suffer.

Now that would be an achievement!

-I feel for people!

You talk for people,

you take their wives.

I take what I want!

And I'm at peace with myself.

Nobody saw me come in, nobody.

I called you because we have

to do something to help her.

What?

It isn't normal,

it wasn't even human.

It was ...

Divine?

Perhaps you met God a moment

ago, and you didn't even realize it.

Now, you believe in God,

don't you? Certainly.

That great incomprehensible God

whom you reached through

f***ing, or dope.

Am I right?

-Look, Mark.

That woman is crazy.

We have to do something.

We?

I'm not going to do anything.

-I can't leave it this way,

it's Anna, it's murder!

You are not a man, Mark,

you're a woman.

Alright, if you don't intend to do

anything and want to keep me silent,

you will have to pay.

You have money, I know it.

You have to get me out of here,

and send me on a long trip

to restore my harmony!

I deserve it!

If you had only seen what I saw!

Heinrich, help me out

of here, I'm sick!

I'm the one who is wounded,

not you!

Please!

God's light avenge them!

Giving it out clean,

and getting it back dirty!

Do you believe in God?

God?

It's in me.

Take me.

Did Margit see it?

-Yes.

That's why you killed her?

-She tried to take it away from me.

Is this Faith that helped us?

-It needs to be protected.

Like a child?

-Yes.

You know, for me,

God is still under the porch,

where the dog died.

And on the branch of the Eucalyptus tree

where I'd lie for hours,

and watch how the clouds

change the color of the grass below.

I need money.

I had to leave there.

Oh, I've cleaned all the mess,

I washed the floor,

I made the bed.

I didn't know where to go.

It became so unsafe there,

people couldn't stop

trying to take it away from me.

Okay.

Now, leave me the car.

Take Margit's keys and

go to her place and wait there.

Can you drive a motorbike?

Heinrich taught me.

It's outside. Now, I'll take

care of Bob and everything.

I'll go to the bank on Monday

and take the money out.

If Bob wakes up,

tell him...

I will.

It's only me. Go to sleep.

I have to go.

Please close the door.

Because it's here with you?

-Yes!

I'm sorry to disturb you, but...

-Yes?

You understand that it is very late,

and Heinrich hasn't called me yet.

He calls me every night so I won't

worry about when he comes home.

Maybe ...

Maybe he just forgot your number.

No, you don't understand.

Mothers always feel it

when their sons are in trouble.

Are you worried ...

Are you worried that he's not there

having sex with my wife?

They should come here.

I've put clean sheets on the bed,

and they could have dinner.

Are you quite sure you know

who you're talking to?

I am.

I went there.

-Where?

I was worried, you understand.

There isn't any apartment there

under the address you gave me.

There's only a smoking hole that the

police won't allow anybody to come near.

So I went to a bar at the corner,

to call home, to find out

if Heinrich had returned.

Yes?

And Heinrich was there.

Nobody could identify him.

Yes?

I recognized his body,

of course.

Did you... identify it

for the police?

No, it was only Heinrich's body.

But his soul was not there.

Perhaps he and the soul

had parted company before.

You don't know what

you're talking about.

No, no, you're quite right. I don't

have any idea what I'm talking about.

He must have seemed to you

better and more beautiful than you.

When Anna met him,

she immediately worshipped his soul.

And you sent him there.

Now, listen to me.

I recognize Heinrich's

superiority in every way.

I was... proud

that Anna accepted him.

Now, Anna...

has gone missing.

AAnd... I'm here,

all alone, you understand?

With our little son.

Now, I must find her,

maybe it's her fault.

I'll find her, and I'll force her

to tell me what she's done.

With Heinrich's soul.

And then I'll come to you.

And tell you.

Won't you come up?

-I'm in a rush.

Is it your wife?

-Here.

Will you promise me something?

-Yes?

Whatever it is?

I promise.

Almost.

Almost.

-Yes.

Heinrich's dead.

Isn't he?

-Yes.

And you found Anna?

-Yes.

You come like the Angel of Death.

The one who kills.

I have thought about killing him.

-And now?

And now I don't know.

Did you see anything

that made you change your mind?

I don't know what I saw,

but Heinrich saw it too.

And you came to tell me

that you don't know...

where Heinrich's soul is?

Yes.

I can see it in your face.

It would be good to think that the

soul lives separately from the body.

That the soul lives forever,

and the body only for a time.

But it isn't so.

I don't know anymore.

-I do.

I have to be

on my son's side.

Even if he's made you unhappy.

I know all there is

to know about him.

That I love him.

-Yes.

I was wondering

which is worse:

Take away someone's wife,

hurt a child,

or to kill?

He also had a wife

and a child.

I used to like her.

I liked your Anna too.

I had to like both of them.

Since they loved him.

The world is only what it is.

Murderous.

If we are the best of it.

You don't have to worry about me.

I don't want to be here.

If Heinrich is not around anymore.

That dog didn't die of old age.

What about you, Mark?

Our man won't confide

or deal with your successor,

he wants you.

In fact, Mark,

there is no successor.

We can take care of drowning dogs,

but please help us take care

of the drowning world!

Don't you think it's uneconomical

to waste yourself on dogs?

Even dogs you love?

I met a man who loved everything.

And he died in a flood of sh*t.

We know.

That's just details.

When I was a boy ...

I had a dog

and his name was Louie.

When he crawled

under the porch to die,

I stayed there with him.

-So what?

I wanted to see what it was

that made him crawl under there.

Nobody's a boy anymore.

Must we prove it?

Back up, then full speed,

and crash into the police car.

My pleasure, sir.

Anna, the car!

Anna!

Run away, go!

How could you find me?

How could I not?

I wanted to show it to you.
