"Have a taste of this." " He can't open the box without me." " Which is why you must die." " You don't know what it contains." " That is correct." "That doesn't bother me." "Unlike me, you seem to have a burning desire to solve this." "Butjust to amuse me..." "Tell me what the box contains." " A memory." " A memory..." "A memory is the true content of the box." "What do you know?" "It's time for me to retire." "This will be our last farewell." "Farewell." "But if he finds the memory, you can kiss everything goodbye." "TO BE CONTINUED..." "Helena?" "DD?" "Hey, señorita." "I got some water." "Do you have a lighter?" "Over there in the silver-colored box." " Here?" " Yeah, there." " You want some?" " I prefer it rolled." " So, you've smoked a lot?" " Some." " What kind is it?" " Fag's Brother." " Fag's Brother?" " Yeah." "You know the fag who cuts people's hair on TV?" " Timo... something." " Timo Rajala." " So, he grows pot?" " No, his brother does." " Hence the name, Helena." " Fag's Brother." "A gold star for you." "Have some." "Hold your thumb over the hole." "I wrote something for you." "Really?" "That's nice." "I was just thinking..." "Could we try something?" " Sure." " Lf you could get on all fours." " Now?" " Yeah, now." "Don't you want to hear what I wrote first?" "Of course I do, but I just..." "How about you get on all fours first?" " Okay." " Nice." " Like this?" " Perfect." "Don't look at me." "Look at the wall." "Or the pink poodle." "Now, slowly pull your skirt up over your ass." "Don't turn around." "Look at the pink poodle." "Slowly pull your skirt up, over your ass." " Helena." " Yes." "Pull it up." " Can you pull your panties down?" " Yes." "You look so nice, Helena." "Does that feel good?" "Good." " Have you been thinking about me?" " Yes." "I've been thinking about you too." "You look so nice." "Ow!" "Stop." "No!" "No..." "DD!" "DD!" "It hurts, stop it." "It hurts." "Ow!" "Ow!" "Stop it." "Stop it!" "DD." "DD." "Hello..." "How... how are you doing?" " Do you recognize me?" " Of course I do." " Of course." "You're Helena..." "Helena." " No." "No, I mean:" "Do you recognize me?" "Don't you remember me?" "Right." "That's me." "A lot of people would say that you raped me." "What's the matter?" "Can't move?" "Is it almost as if... you're frozen?" "You look so nice." "You're nervous..." "You know what?" "What you sow... grows." "My name is Helena Jacobsson, and I am 14 years old." "And I love you." "But now I am going to hurt you a whole lot." "You've started remembering." "Started remembering?" "Go deeper." "Ronny!" "Where are you going with that?" " What do you think?" " Don't be a smart aleck." " Ronny." "Ronny!" " Yeah?" " Want to see something cool?" " What?" "You'll see." "It's a litte scary, so I should check it myself first." " I'm not afraid." " Are you sure?" "Come on." "You know what happens if you go in there?" "You don't age." " What do you mean?" " You never grow up." "You don't change." " How do you know that?" " I was here yesterday." " No." " Oh, yeah." " How do you know it works?" " I just know, okay?" "Don't you dare?" "I knew you'd chicken out." "That's just like you." " I'm not chickening out." " What do you call it?" " Chicken." " Cut it out." "Well, get on in there." "Go in." "Go." "Get in there." "Go in further." "It's awesome." "Oh, right." "Ronny?" "Watch out for the creepers on the floor." "Bye." "Donny!" "Come back and open up!" "Donny!" "Donny!" "Open up!" " Ronny!" " Ronny!" "Hello!" "Hello!" "Donny." "Little brother..." "I watched out for the creepers, like you said." "But I think they'll be here soon." "Hey..." "Who..." "Who were the flowers for?" " Don't you remember?" " Is this because I forgot?" "How can you forget something like that?" "How can you forget something like what?" "Don't you remember who died?" "Don't you remember who died?" "Don't you remember who died?" " Where are we?" " Where you really want to be." "Why is this happening to me?" "Because you were starting to become cold." "I think your time has come now." "Time to open the box." "Don't listen to her." " She's a liar." " Do not believe a word he says." "Listen to me." "I understand that it's difficult to grasp what's going on." "And you are... what?" "The other side?" "The other side?" "That's right" " I am the other side." "The other side of her, but not you." "That's what's important." " Don't listen to him." " You really should listen to me." "We'll take it from the beginning." "What's happened here?" "You lead a pretty good life, until she showed up." "Then things turned weird." "Those are facts, things we know happened." "Knowing this, how can you be so sure  that she's the one who wants to help you, and not me?" "She's playing with you." "Don't you see?" "Did she do the childhood bit?" "Did you?" " Something where you hit or hurt someone, did something." "Maybe raped someone." "Listen to me:" "You didn't do it." "She wants you to believe you've done things you never did." "She wants you to think you're bad, but you're not." "You are not a bad person." "She's manipulating you." "I mean, just look at all this." "Are we in Cuba?" "Maybe not." "Maybe you're in Vänersborg." "Or maybe we're in Cuba." "Or at your house." "Or in Vänersborg, or Cuba." "DD, listen to me." "How do I put this?" "A few days ago, you were a strong guy." "Going your own way, making your own decisions." "Didn't care what others thought, you were your own..." "Could you please stop interrupting me and just let us..." "Just let me and DD have a conversation." "DD, you were a real human being." "Now you're changing into some low-calorie version." " A low-fat item." "Know what I mean?" " Keep talking." "The only thing I'm asking of you  is that you keep living your life as you've always done." "The end." " Is that what you want?" " Don't open that box." "If you do it, you will disappear." "Okay." "In that case, I want you to tell me something." "Absolutely." "Anything you want." "Who died?" "Believe me, DD." "I'd do it, if I could." "Promise, don't take this the wrong way..." "Good old Stockholm." "It worked." "Damn it, it worked." " What's happened?" " I had an accident." " Come with me." "How are you doing?" " I'm fine." "How are you?" "Fine, thank you." "We'll take you to the hospital to check on you anyway." "We just want to check." "Were you the driver?" "Right..." "Hey!" "I think there's someone under the car." "I think I hit someone." "Wait here." " Is there anyone under the car?" "Towards the front, by the tires." "Wait!" "Little brother!" "Little brother?" "WE HAVE TO MEET." "LOTS HAS HAPPENED." "BIG HUGS!" "DONNY" "Hello, DD." "It's bright in here." "Yeah, my little brother is afraid of the dark." "Because of me." "How insightful." " Give me the box." " Where is Promise?" "Don't you worry about that." " Where is Promise?" " I just want the box." "The box, the box..." "Oh, my God!" "I think I lost it!" "I don't think so." "Yes?" "Hello, friend." "We're from the Church of Latter-Day Saints." "Would you like to have a talk about Jesus?" "Jesus was a young man, just like you." "And just like you, he had many questions..." "Hello, friend." "Would you be interested in God's help?" "Good." " He can't open the box without me." " Which is why you must die." "Excuse me, all you taxi drivers." "I need some assistance." "I have to go to a place I don't know where it is, and have no address for." "But I have to get there real fast, or something bad will happen." " What's this place?" " It is..." "It's a big place that looks like it's got antlers on the roof." "And inside there's a contraption to let you burn things." " Burn what?" " Things." "Trash, leaves, people..." " Does anyone know the place?" " Hey!" "I know." "It has to be that place." "Pop was an architect, you know." "This is the only place that has this deer aspect to it, antlers and that." "You know?" "And they have a rubber burner." "Der Gummiwelzer." "Something Eastern German from the 70's to melt loads of rubber at once." "It's just a container the size of a bath tub surrounded by fire." " Were you in a hurry?" " In a big hurry!" "Then we'll just u-turn right here." "Taxi, that's service for you." "Okay, there it is." "Gummiwelzung." " Can you wait here?" " Yeah, the meter's off." "I'm in here!" " Hey there." " Hello, Göran." "Take care of this girl." "Hurry up." "It'll be fine, just fine..." "Hi, I wanted to..." " I need your help." " You're wanted for murder!" " I need help." " What's happened?" " She's been badly burned." " I can tell." "What happened?" " Can we talk about that later?" " We'll take her to admissions." "Go in here." "I'll go get a doctor as quickly as I can." "Make sure she keeps breathing, okay?" " You'll get your films tomorrow." " Fine." "Thank you for coming." "I thought you were... immortal." "No, we're..." "We're sensitive to fire." "I think your time has come now." "Time to open the box." "Give it a try." "What was it your brother said to you in the root cellar?" " What did he say?" " That someone had died." "Did you feel that?" "Whose glasses are those?" "Katta's." "There used to be three of us." "Me, my brother and Katta." "Katta." "Katta was older than me." "She was older and had..." "She was blonde and she had wavy... curly hair." "She wore glasses, because she was damned near blind." "She collected things of glass..." "Glass figurines." "From the woods." "Glass animals." "She'd gotten a package in the mail, something new." "She showed it to me." "She had..." "The sun was shining, and there was a cold smell to the air." "Wet, leaves..." "A fox, she'd gotten a fox." "A glass fox." "She said, "All I need is a reindeer, and I'll have the whole forest"." "Then we'll have the whole forest." "Us." "Then they came..." "Right, they showed up." " Come closer." " They started arguing." " Come on." " I just want to try something." " Damn, she's ugly." " Especially up close." " Hey, four-eyes." "You look like shit." " You really look like shit." " Did you fart?" "Cause you stink." " Cow's cunt!" " I'm sorry." "We were just kidding." " We didn't mean it." "They started arguing with Katta, not me." "I didn't do anything, I just watched it happen." "I was really scared." "I didn't dare do anything." " Step on them!" " Step on the glasses!" " Step on them." " Step on them now!" "Step on them, you little fag!" "That's when I realised that Katta couldn't get home  without her glasses." "So I ran back." "She was right by the main road." "I called out her name, and waved my arms, so she could see me." "And she turned around, looked at me..." "Bu Katta didn't die right away." "She had to go to the hospital." "I never dared to..." "I didn't go into her room." "Dad came out, and I asked him how she was doing." "He said that she had just died." "That she wasn't afraid to die." "She just wanted to live, that's what she wanted." "To live." "She wondered where I was, where I had been." "I just sat there." "What did you feel then, when she disappeared?" "When she died?" "When she died I just fell apart." " But you were not to blame." "You were not to blame." "Katta..." "I've never loved anyone like I loved Katta." "Donny, you were not to blame." "Where's that damned doctor?" "Be strong this time." "Hello?" "Hello!" "Enough of this bullshit." "Last chance, DD." "What do you say?" "What'll it be?" "What do you say, DD?" "How about we forget about all this and move on?" "Start all over again, you and me." "What do you say?" "Let's have some fun." "Back to all the fun." "The fun world, the fun life." "What do you say?" "You look a little peaked." "After all, I love you." "You know that, DD." "Right?" "What do you say?" "What do you say?" "Well?" "What do you do about what you cannot have?" "Well?" "You know, your father collected the shards of the glass animals  and drove them down to Småland." "He wanted to create something new from what had been ruined." "The glass blowers down there said nothing." "They just collected all the shards and did it." "Not a word about payment or overtime." "They just did it." "How long are you staying?" "How long do you think?" "What you're feeling now, what you feel inside here spread that around." "Oh, right..." "The cops." "Wanted." "Oops."
