"We have to others already, Evie." "This one's allright!" "If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't be going to Almanzora." "Do you regret it?" "No, not now."

"Well, long after we left the mainland, you could still ear voices and laughter from the beach." "But from here, it seems as if the island has been deserted." "All you can ear is the wind." "Manolo, give me a hand!" "Be careful!" "Grab it!" "Very well!" "Done!" "Get her bag, please!" "Thank you!" "Come on, boys, let's hit the water!" "I'm coming!" "Let's go, Manolo!"

"Madam, allow me to introduce you to..." "the Plaza Mayor." "It's exactly as it was, twelve years ago." "Tom, what's that?" "Uhm?" "What's what?" "Oh, that's an ice cream cart." "Oh, i'd love an ice cream!" "Hello?" "Hello?" " There's nobody there." " Oh nevermind." " Let's just take one and leave the money." "Ok." "It's melted!" "There's a bar over there, come on." "There's no one here, either." "It looks as if they left in rather a hurry." "It's strange!" " No one's been here for so long." " What do you mean 'for so long'?" "Look, that's been turning for hours." "Tom, I'm so thirsty and hungry." "Well, let's see what they've got!" "Now, to drink there's coke and... beer." "And cold, too." "And to eat, well, all I can see is some sugar, and burned chicken!" "I think there's a shop outside." "Just to the left." "Should we go there?" "No, you go, it's too hot and I'm tired." "I'll stay here." "Alright... just as you like." "Good morning!" "Hello." "Come in." "What's your name?" "What's your name?" "What's your name?" "'Tu nombre... '" "Lurdes..." "Ah, Lurdes..." "I have a baby here." "You day you might have a baby." "Please don't go!" "Please!" "Please, come here." "Come." "Hello." "Hello?" "Hello?" " Did you see anyone?" " No..." "Tom, it's not possible!" "Well, quite often the whole town celebrates some fiesta or other and everybody goes to the other side of the island." "How about you?" "What do you mean?" "Did you see anyone?" "Yes, a litlle girl came here and then ran away." "Well, this is what I managed to get, bread, frankfurters, fruit, and some sardines." " And a hat for you..." " Thank you." "And..." "A doll for Rosie, dressed in the local costume, of course!" "Do you like it?" "What are we going to do, Tom?" "Well, first we're going to eat, and then we're going to find that pension!" "Please, come." "Come here!" "Wait!" "Wait a minute!" "Come!" "Must be people on the island, because if there are children, then..." "Who switched the power off?" " What?" " The spit stopped turning!" "I switched it off." " Don't you see what i mean, because..." " Our first meal in Almanzora." "Here, we have plates and everything else that we need, so, please, do follow me, madam!" "and... do sit." "There." "I wll be your cook!" "Your... waiter, ...and now some paper napkins, and..." "It rang a few minutes ago, I answered it, but... they hung up." "Hello?" "Hello?" "'No entiendo'..." "I don't understand you!" "Please, come here, please!" "Do you speak English?" "I don't understand you!" "Please, speak louder in English or Spanish!" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Who was it?" " It sounded like a child's voice." " Spanish?" "Well..." "German, Dutch, maybe even Swedish, I don't know." "Tom, you said there were no phones on the island." "Well, there's no direct link to the mainland, but... they mave have installed a local exchange." "Well, at least we know we're not the only people in the village." "Hello?" "Come..." "Come to..." "What it the same voice?" "Yes." " What's the population on this island?" " Oh, it's about a 100, maybe 200." "And when they go away for these fiestas, can you remember..." "Well, did they always leave a village as deserted as this?" "It's possible, I don't know, I've never stayed behind to find out!" "They're marvelous 'fiestas'!" "I mean, the people take along guitars, and they sing... and... there aren't any rockets!" "What are you looking at?" "Nothing!" " Tom?" " Yep?" "..." "Isnt' this it?" "Yes!" "Come on." "Tom, there must be someone in this village." "What are we going to do?" "Simply wait." "Well, at least it's cool in here." "Someone is bound to turn up." "Is there a bath?" "What did you say?" "I'm bade in sweat, I think I even smell a bit." "I'd give anything for a shower." "Hey, there are other turists on Almanzora." "Are they English?" "Dutch." "It's a married couple and a girl." "Could it been a Dutch person?" "What?" "Well, the voice on the phone, you said it sounded like a boy speaking dutch." "Where're you going?" "The keys for 6 and 7 aren't there... they might be upstairs." "Tom, come here, look!" "I told you the village couldn't be completely deserted." "There's nobody there!" "I've just seen an old man, with a stick, going cross the road, look into the doorway." "Well, look can't you see his, his stick's jutting out." "I'll be right back!" "Look, there a little girl." "Tom!" "What is she doing?" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "Oh my..." "Why have you done this?" "Why have you done this?" "Why?" "Why you make... that?" "Come back!" "Come back here!" "Hit him!" "Hit him!" "Hit him!" "Hit him!" "Hit him!" "What happened, Tom?" "There's nothing." " Tom!" " Nothing, nothing." "Look, Tom, what happened?" "Look, the little girl was... playing with the old man." "Playing!" "?" " ... and without, without" " No, I saw her, I saw her hitting him..." "She was only playing, Evelin, ok." "Allright?" "Tom, you're lying to me!" "Tom, I saw how you carried the old man in your arms." "Now, what happened?" "The girl struck the old man and... she injured him." " Then why didn't you bring him here?" " Because I took him to his house." "You're lying!" "Look, Evelyn, I'm telling you the truth I took the old man home, it's just down there, around the corner." "Look, Tom, I saw how she hit the old man" "I saw how you carried the man in your arms." "Now..." " Look, where is the girl?" " I left them both at home." " Tom, will you stop lying to me?" " She cut his forehead and it was bleeding a little." " Tom." " That's all." "Now, Evie, get a hold of yourself." "Look, there is something wrong on this island and you're trying to keep it from me." "If there is something wrong, then, whatever it is," "I think we should leave." "Evelyn, I..." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Yes?" "Could you speak more slowly..." "Are you..." "Are you Brit van der Holden?" "Tom, please don't go up there!" "It could be that girl." "Tom?" "Tom!" "Don't get any closer!" "Don't get any closer!" "Please..." "Here..." "It's too hot and you're far to nervous, so try to rest, will you?" "You both need it." "I'm going to have a talk to that man, ok?" "Ok." "What's happened in the island?" "I don't know..." "I dont know!" "Please, calm down." "Feeling better?" "Thank you." "What's happened in Almanzora?" "Yesterday night, around 11.30 PM, the voices started," "and laughter." "Laughter?" "Yes." "It was if all the children on the island had awaken." "They shouted..." "and laughed." "They went in groups... and they entered the houses as if it was a party, but... but it wasn't." "They entered..." "and soon you could hear the screams." "Men and women screaming!" "Then they would leave that house, and get into another... and another!" "My wife went out on the street, to see what was going on," "I remained at the window." "She left precisely when a body was leaving a house" "It seemed as though they were playing... but they carried knives, and sticks." "My wife started shouting..." "In my room i've got a shotgun." "I grabbed it... but I didn't do anything." "No one in town did anything." " Do you understand me?" " Yes." "Because... who can kill a child?" "I was afraid, and hid on a small room where we keep the bed linen." "I.." "I didn't dare leave, until I heard your voices." "I don't know anything else!" "Nothing else!" "Who hurt you?" "Myself, leaving my room," "I stumbled and hit the floor." "Is it possible there are others alive on the island?" "I don't know... in the north there's more fishermen's houses." "In the island's centre, as well, there a couple of houses." "Only here in Almanzora" " Feeling better?" " Yes, thank you." "Hello?" "Where are you?" "Please." "Help!" "Please." "Please." "Where are you?" "Hello, hello." "Please!" "It's cut off." "It's the girl." "The dutch girl." "Where can she be?" "She might be on Public Phones." "Where's that?" "At the Post Office." "Post Office?" "Yes, out of the guest house, on your left, about 100 meters away, on the first floor." "Right, you stay here with him." "I'm going to find that girl, and then we're leaving." "Come on, don't be a fool!" "Give it to me." " Hold there." " Ok." "The arm, take it." "Come on, let's go!" "Go!" "Sir, the three of us must leave." "Believe me." "Evie, we're getting out of here!" "The three of us." " But why?" " I'll tell you later." "Daddy, daddy!" "Come!" "Daddy, please, daddy, help me!" "Aunt Isabel is sick." "Daddy, please!" "She's at grandma's house, and grandma is sick too!" "They can't breathe and I'm really scared." "They've been hurt." "Daddy, please daddy, come with me, daddy, please." "Sir..." "please stay here." "She's my daughter." "Let's go." "Where are they going?" "Evelyn, I want you to do exactly as I tell you." " Tom, what's going on?" "What are all those shouts?" " Listen, we're getting out of here, we're going to run." "I know it's going to be difficult for you but we've got to do it, do you understand?" "Yes, but Tom..." "No matter what happens, even if it hurts you we've got to keep going." "Now, I want you to think of Richard and Rosie, and not on that baby inside of you." "Oh, for God's sake, Tom!" "If you stumble, I'll pick you up, but we've got to keep going, allright?" "Allright." "Allright... go!" "I can't!" "Wait for me, Tom!" "Evie!" "Evie, we must keep going!" "Come on, we must keep going!" "Listen, we must keep going." "Come on!" "We must keep going!" "Now come on!" "We must keep going!" "No, please, no!" "Run!" "Come on, run!" "Please Evie, come on!" "Run!" "They're children!" "They're just little children!" "What did the man at the 'pensión' tell you?" "Just that something strange had happened to the kids on the island." "Strange?" "But what?" "I don't know." "Some sort of madness." "I don't understand this." "Where are we going now?" "There are a few houses, on the other side of the island." "We might be able to find a boat there." "Where are all the adults?" "Where's the people?" "Where are they, Tom?" "There's a boat near that house." " But why don't we get down there?" " There are children there." "Tom, what is happening to this children?" "I don't know." "It just isn't possible that all of them have gone mad." "And I don't understand why they've been attacking." "It's as though they thought we adults were their enemies." "Perhaps the children of this island, guided by instinct, or by an evolutionary development, have started to..." "To what?" "Come on." "Good afternoon." "Did anything happen here last night?" "Last night?" "Is there someone else inside the house?" "Is something happening?" "Are there any other people living here?" "My mother and the children." "We need a boat to get to Benavis." "Go to the port, on the other side of the island." "No, that's not possible." "My husband and my brother-in-law have a fishing boat." "Where are they now?" "Out at sea, fishing." "They'll be back by sunset." "That boat's no good, it has a hole in the bottom." "Tom, could you ask here for a glass of water, please?" "Do you have water, please?" "Yes, come in." "Come inside." "Gracias." "How many months is she?" "Sorry?" "How many months is she?" "I don't understand it." "Nevermind." "Drink this and enjoy." " What is she saying?" " Drink it, it's tea." "Oh, thank you." "Hey, why are you bothering these people?" "Oh, these children!" "Go and play on the beach for a while!" "What a day they're giving me today." "Please forgive them." "Are they your children?" "Yes, all four of them." "Hello!" "Hello." " Evelyn." " Yes?" "We're going." "Let's get out of here." "Sir, wait!" "They're coming back." "Sir!" "Children, what are you doing?" "Come wash up, come on!" "And you two, go on home now!" "Well, didn't you hear me?" "It's just possible all the children of the village are coming here." "But Tom, if we go back..." "We'll cross through the village with the jeep without stoping until we reach that boat." "Whatever happens." "What do you mean?" "If we run into any of them..." "nevermind." "Nevermind what?" "We must reach that boat!" "No, Tom!" "They're leaving, Evie." "Nobody dared to attack a child to kill one of them." "That's why they weren't afraid, but..." "Now they are." "Tomorrow morning, Enrique and... maybe some others" "will reach the island and it will all be over." "There's no one in sight." "Evie." "Come lay down in there." "No!" "Tom!" "Tom!" "Do the children realize what they're doing?" "I don't know." "A normal child is incapable of killing an adult." "Well, I'm a normal man, yet I... managed to propose that we killed a child." "Stay and try to relax." "Just stay there, ok?" "Ok." "Thank you." "Oh, Tom!" "Tom!" "Evie, what's wrong?" "What's happening?" " What is it?" " Oh, help me, Tom!" "Oh help, me, please help me, Tom, I can't..." "I can't stand it!" "Lie down." "No!" "It's not that!" "No, Tom!" "Please, you've (?" ") a lot after all that's happened" "You'll be allright." "Evie, Evie, you will be allright, do you understand?" "It's not that, Tom, it's not the same as when Rosie and Richard..." "Help me Tom." "I can't stand it, please help me up!" "No!" "Tom, please feel it!" "Could you feel it?" "Something..." "something inside me is moving!" "Help me!" "No, please." " Please, I've got to stand up!" " Evie!" "Tom he's killing me." "What are you saying?" "I can feel it inside me." "He's..." "He's killing me!" "Oh, they're up there, they're above us." "Can't you hear them?" "They're laughing!" "They're laughing!" "They're laughing because they know that what I'm carrying is..." "Tom..." "Tom he's..." "He's... he's..." " Tom, he's... he's one of them!" " No." "He's killing me!" "Tom," "Oh, Tom..." "In the bar, a child, a little girl..." "She came, and... she touched me, Tom." "I'm sorry ...she touched our baby!" "He's..." "Tom..." "I'm sorry..." "Where's Rosie?" "Where's Richard, Tom?" "Oh Tom..." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry Tom, he's..." "It's them!" "It's them, Sargeant!" "It's them, It's them!" "God!" "It's them!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "It's them!" "Help me!" "Look at what this man did..." "Where are the townspeople?" "Bye!" " Hi, how's it going?" " Hi!" "Are you going to the mainland?" " Yes." " Why don't we all go?" "Because we'd attract too much attention in Benavis." "You'll go later." "Do you think the children there will start playing the way we do?" "Yes, of course." "We are lots of children, all over the world." "Lots of them." "English fansubs by: wicker_man"
