"A Mystic Riffs edit." "Take it easy." "That's it." "Good girl." "Elvis, I need the bucket if you've finished with it." "What?" "The bucket, I need it." "Can I have it?" "Can I do something?" "You can look for another bottle of Clorox, if you like." "These remains are pretty much stuck to the floor." "No Shit Cleaning Services here, this is Leo." "Yeah, here in the social capital." "Start tomorrow?" "Where?" "Hello?" "You still there?" "Yeah, I know where it is." "Yeah, great, see you later." "All right." "Elvis?" " It's time for lunch." " Oh, that's good." "It has been some time for you and me, yes?" "I hope you are doing well." "As well as possible." "Still, I would rather be there." "But," "This is what happened." "And this is for answers." "For who knows how long?" "It totally depends on," "You" "Me" "Them." "I found you that day, nine years ago." "I should have left you there." "An older man, given the length and width of what was found." "Length and width?" "Yeah." "There were predators, but they managed to find some of his parts." "Einar and the others found about half of him." "And we need to find the rest?" "What are you doing?" "Swaying in the wind." "All right, Why?" "Why not?" "It brings peace." "Otherwise, the foundation starts to break, and will spread to other places." "Everyone seems to be breaking." "Thank you for your positive, thoughts." "It was that or," " Nothing desirable?" " No, not, what I thought." "Katrina, called?" "There's a tiny creature on the screen." "Yeah, that's my niece." "Good for you." "Thank you." "How are they doing?" "Very well." "What's her name?" " Who?" " Your niece." "Elina." "Named after you?" "Yeah!" " That's nice." " Leo?" " What have you got?" " Leo, come take a look." "Should we?" "No." "Einar should see this." "Maybe we could?" "No." "We can't." "Elvis?" "Get out of there." "I found the stairs." "He lived down here." "Leo?" "Elvis, we are not supposed to touch anything." "Okay." "Looks like an encyclopedia." "Huh." "'Best before' date was 1989." "Canned food lasts a long time." "'91" "'86" "Okay." "Elvis, wait here." "I'm calling the station." "We can't just," "Yeah, Leo here." "Is Einar there, yet?" "Elvis?" " Eldar?" " Leo?" "Get out of there!" "This is not our..." "Not at all." "Can you hear that?" "Yes, this is Leo." "Huh." "Yeah I am." "Hello, are you there?" "Yeah, wait a minute." "Elvis?" "Do not touch anything." "Okay?" "Are you there?" "Yes." "Take it easy." "That's it." "Good girl." "Elvis?" "Einar and the others are coming here as soon as possible." "Good." "What?" "I said good." "We can't leave her here." "We need to take her to the hospital or some place." "The shock of moving her may only make things worse." "We were told to expect this, so let's just take care of it, huh?" "Has she been here since the death?" "The man did something here, and then suddenly died." "Haven't you already fucked up enough for one day, Elvis?" "She's freezing, she's freezing to death!" "Find anything?" "Not sure." "Hmm, apparently a lieutenant lived here." "Hey." "My name is Leo." "He, is, uh, Elvis." "He, uh" "He, uh, can't breathe if you squeeze him by the throat like that." "You want this?" "Do you want it?" "Hey, uh, I'll tell you what." "I'll just put it next to you." "Shouldn't we, shouldn't we do something?" "Oh, yeah." "Wait until Einar and the others arrive." "How long do you think it will take?" "Why is she here?" "She wants something, that's certain." "What?" "Canned food." "Where are you going?" "I'm getting the water from the car and some rolls." "It's out of date." "She can't eat that." "Elvis?" ""Thale."" "But you are welcome, under the circumstances." "ECG is good, but the QRP is uneven." "This case of yours, is likely to stress." "Hemoglobin level is good." "Continue the high dose of iron supplements, and," "What's going on?" "Do you know who he is?" "It's just a tape recording." "...in the meantime." "But do not slosh!" "I found you eleven years and eight months ago." "In August, four years after we discovered them." "We should keep that in mind." "I think forgetting is the problem." "However, I can still smile." "And you?" "Do you smile?" "Laugh?" "Do you?" "And to offspring." "You're very different from your sisters." "Both internally and externally." "We knew that you were adapting." "But you adapted beyond the whole of your being." "A wonderful surprise for us all." "Maybe it was the fact that you were found in the early stage." "Maybe you are different from others." "Or maybe it's just a way to survive." "(No, no!" ") But this must continue." "No, no, no, no, no, no, no!" "No, no!" "(Metabolism, is the most important thing in the coming months.)" "(This means that you must) frequently bathe." "We don't know what can happen if your metabolism begins to fail." "We must take care not to let that happen." "Thale?" "Have you taken a bath?" "The luck isn't being used at the moment, is it?" "Is it yours?" "Maybe you have a, a stall under there?" "Or maybe it's a" "Who taught you that?" "Perhaps," "Perhaps I could borrow it?" "And then I could teach my niece?" "Do you want to," "Do you want to know her name?" "Elina." "How long have you been here?" "Do you know?" "What are you doing?" "Take it easy." "That's it." "Good girl." "I know that they call you." "And that you want to follow them." "But the others, those that we left, might have found you there," "but not here," "In the water." "This is Leo." "Did you get my message?" "Are you far away, now?" "Well, what was the delay?" "Uh, huh." "When will you get here, then?" "No, I'm, er," "When, then?" "Yeah, I got it." "...in the event that they do find you." "It is better to know for certain." "January 28th, 1984." "Last night, last night we did it." "It's gone now." "Can now see." "At least it is sealed, and can not be tracked." "It is, No, Thale!" "Not in there!" "You're almost impossible to control, now." "The attraction is too strong." "So we have to try to to cut it out." "It's been four days." "I don't know, I don't know if it works." "Maybe I was right?" "Maybe I've, I've corrupted you?" "I just don't know." "Come on, Thale." "We have to, soak you for a bit." "Ah ha." "Ah ha?" "Yep." "You see what the hell it is?" "Yeah." " Elvis." " (Yeah?" ")" "Why can I see your piss?" "(Oh yeah!" "The window!" ")" "(We're probably the first people here for maybe a couple years?" ")" "(I wonder how long she's been here?" ")" "(How she survived without food and,)" "(Leo, are you there?" ") Yeah!" "(That woman was really cold." "I wonder if she's warmed up, already?" ")" "(Where did you leave the box, by the way?" "The car?" ")" "Yep." "(Okay.)" "(Guess what?" "The thermos is still a little warm!" ")" "(Care for a coffee?" ")" "Your phone's ringing, yeah?" "Do you believe that," "Do you believe that she could be?" "What is it you think she is?" "What if it turns out?" "That," "That it's hers?" "Elvis, shush now." "They're gonna be sick to their stomachs when they get here." "Einar is on the way." "Roll." "How old is she?" "She looks," "20?" "25?" "What do you think?" "You just gonna sit silent?" "She's turning five." "In November." "So, Elvis has become a father." "It's hard to imagine." "I have lung cancer." "What?" "I have lung cancer." "Okay." "That's what they say." ""Elvis, I have lung cancer."" ""Leo, I have an illegitimate child."" ""And her mother complains I don't have any money."" "It was nice to catch up." "What is it?" "Einar and the rest?" "Now what?" "Hello?" "You were mistreated." "Every day." "And I was involved." "For far too long." "I hoped that winter would hide us in a blanket of snow." "But they had already begun to hunt for you." "You were far too valuable to be let go." "And for a little while, we almost lost them." "It was cold, but nonetheless," "they sensed your presence and you theirs." "But I had to keep them away." "Others would have found you, out there." "Just as I found you." "And so I hid you again." "We went underground, and remained there." "You think I am a good person." "But I'm not." "Otherwise I would have killed you outright." "But I can't do it." "Instead, you have to suffer here." "And so this is where we are." "You know that we are different." "You got it early." "You can do things which I can not, and what you're currently doing," "but do not understand." "And this is why we are here." "All we're trying to adapt to, and in that sense we have been successful," "flourished here, in the darkness." "You've brought me great joy, and despair." "Reminding me of what I found." "And what I took." "Because I know, just like you probably already know, you will not fail, down here." "But without me you would not be alive." "No." "Without me, you would have lived." "Come on." "The gas causes a dry mouth." "But, apart from that," "it's not dangerous." "Here." "You need to drink something." "Black currant tea." "There's nothing suspicious." "Who are you?" "In order to get the truth, I need a body." "And you were not invited to the party." "I am," "I am, looking for a girl." "(Where is Leo?" ")" "I believe that you have met her." "Have you met the Thalén?" "Then we all agree, that she is different from us." "For the longest time, we were all just people, and then we began to understand the numbers of other forces." "We normally worked together with others, to serve the common good." "But a piece was missing." "They could pass through the stream and out of the stream." "And there they stayed." "The challenge was characterizing their different properties, shapes, and sizes." "We discovered an unusual sanctuary from deep within the forest." "All were sensitive, and rarely observed." "Their metabolism produced a higher body heat than ours." "An energy that is not only different, but unique." "It is their fingerprint." "Yes years after we knew... that we had found the right Thalén." "There is only one slight problem." "The unit will beep yeah..." "But we can't find her." "I am being honest and I hope that you are, too." "Now this is something seriously suspicious." "So if you know the whereabouts of the Thale," "Now would be the time to tell me." "And if the answer doesn't satisfy me." "I understand that when threatened, they may have such an effect," "that will cause you to feel compassion." "So much so, that you would sacrifice everything for them." "Even your own life." "She may seem harmless." "An innocent little girl." "But the light beneath the skin," "behind those large, brown eyes," "you would not believe what's in there." "Leo!" "Hey, give him something to drink!" "There's something here." "Thale?" "Haven't enough people already suffered because of you, huh?" "Enough is enough." "Leo?" "Are you dead?" "Witnesses describe the missing person as a woman, aged 20-25, height 160-170 cm." "Witnesses add that the missing woman may possibly be a so-called" ""nymph"." "Well?" "Not any time soon." "How long did they say you have?" "All right." "They said, uh," "They said that, um," "That I'm healthy." "Healthy?" "Yep." "J-Just like that?" "Yeah." "You're not glad?" "I am." "Want to help tidy up tomorrow for my old Aunt?" "Why not." "Bonus pay." "But it's not for you." "All the days go by." "We grow old." "Hour by hour." "Year after year." "If you are lucky, you find someone to grow old with." "Maybe not ever." "Maybe for a while." "Maybe for all time." "By design or chance, you're suddenly doubled." "And sometimes I just want to know, if that was the intention." "To have someone you will do anything for." "Jeopardize everything for." "Worth living for." "And worth dying for." "And when that end day does come," "I hope that, one way or another, you are as lucky as I have been." "Thank you and forgive me."
