Frieda - Coming Home (2020) - full transcript

Yes?

Yes, I'm Mark Wilder

Oh, you'll pick us up?

Perfect, thank you.

No, that's not necessary.

Okay, yes, wonderful. Thank you.

See you soon. Thanks. Bye.

While most scientists consider
it superstition,

it's a part of everyday life

according to the experiences of many
people and researchers in certain areas:

contact with the deceased



and the existence of what are
commonly called ghosts.

My guest today is Professor
Lang,

who's spent more than thirty years working
in this field in Freiburg, Germany.

Professor Lang:

what happens immediately after a
person dies?

First:

how can we know anything about
this at all?

Research in this area began
almost 140 years ago.

The Society for Psychical Research in
London has done a great deal of work on it.

And there are many pieces to the
puzzle that can provide answers.

Let's begin with something that
I'm particularly interested in.

In one of your publications you write that individuals who
die suddenly possibly don't realize that they're dead.

As a result, they remain in
their accustomed surroundings.

Could this be the reason why
certain places are called haunted?



If these souls don't receive help
leaving the intermediate world,

their uncertainty can result in them
haunting locations or even individuals.

That's very unpleasant.

Tell me something.

Victor Timmaz once told me

that spirits see someone who's
just passed away

as when they were young,

as a 25 to 35 year old,

even if they were 95 and old and
wrinkled when they passed.

That seems to be the case,
according to accounts from people

who had a near-death experience and saw
deceased relatives on the other side.

Apparently, you're seen as you looked
in the best years of your life.

... which apparently
happens with children.

There's a report from Sweden about a
man who was in a car accident with his family.

Tragically, his
seven-month-old baby was killed,

and the man had a near-death
experience

...before the paramedics
were able to reanimate him.

He was briefly together with his
son on the other side,

who appeared to be approximately
ten years old.

Hey?!

What are you up to?

Reading. Watching videos.

I got you something!

Flowers?

You thought of the battery for
the dustbuster?

For me?

No. For somebody we haven't met
yet.

I'm only nine month long...

I couldn't resist.

You know that our baby will have
the best father in the world?!

Wow!

Who is he?

An incredibly hot and talented
screenwriter.

Yes, yes...

Probably that guy with the great sense of humor
that you met at Rag Trader four years ago.

Yes...

that's him!

Well...

Do you two have some kind of
relationship now?

Believe it or not:

we live together and I see him
nearly every day.

Wow!

We even got married last year!

Really? No?

And for our wedding he gave me a
ring that

still takes my breath away:

two carats!

Wow! He must be crazy about you.

And I love him more than I can
say.

For example, when I see him all
sweaty after jogging,

I just want to do him right
away.

Then maybe he should take a
shower?

He should...

What are you doing?

My chocolate?

Just a second.

Do you still want to take a trip
to Europe?

Are you kidding me?

No.

We'll never be able to take our
trip to Europe.

Why not?

Just because you started your new job
at the Medical Center two years ago?

And last year I had to work on the new TV
series and couldn't take a vacation this year?

And because a baby will turn the life
we've been living upside down next year?

And because we'll have five more kids, have to raise
them and spend all our time, energy and money?

Don't worry about it.

When the last one goes to college,
our first kids will be supporting us

and then we'll be able to take the
kind of trip we've always wanted to.

Sounds great.

I wonder if all the guidebooks that
we've will still be up to date...

...in three decades.

But do you know what:

it doesn't matter.

I'm sure they have special
editions for senior citizens,

and we can just get them.

By then we'll have chips
implanted in our heads

that'll guide us through our vacation
and to all the tourist attractions.

Or make us imagine we're
on a amazing trip

While we lie in a hospital
bed and get fed through a tube.

And they monitor our new hips and
pacemakers and artificial organs.

Better than cigarettes.

Liv, I'm...

I'm not really crazy about the idea of traveling
through Europe without our six kids SOME DAY.

We should make the trip without
them NOW.

What's in that envelope?

Something you're going to like a
lot.

Something a future mommy will
like?

It's a rental agreement for a

1,500 sq ft. Apartment

with 4 bedrooms and a big kitchen and
an industrial-size washing machine,

and it's here, in our quarter!

Okay, then...

it's the one thing I've been
hoping for my whole life:

a date with Leonardo di Cabrio?!

I tried. But Leo told me that he's not interested
in going out with supermodels right now.

Too bad.

It's the tickets for our four
weeks in Europe.

Don't...

don't joke about that.

I am not joking.

We're leaving in twelve days!

Mark, I'm not falling for this.

You couldn't get away, because
of your new season!

And I don't have a single day of
vacation time left this year.

Liv! It's all been settled.

And now look at what's in the
envelope!

Mark!

I spoke with your boss.

You can take four weeks of
unpaid vacation.

Tyler, Steve and Louise will
take care of your shifts.

Please stop.

This isn't funny.

It's all been worked out, even
with my boss.

And before you are too big for us to
go, we're taking our trip!!

You're crazy, right?

No.

I'm not.

This is the perfect time to go:

a tour through Europe in the
pre-Christmas season,

then we can spend Christmas in
Florence and New Year's in Paris!

No, no. We planned to spend
Christmas with your parents,

and the entire family will be
there, right?

And Chris and Jim invited us
over for New Year's Eve

and we said yes a long time ago.

I'm supposed to go shopping with
Rachel on her birthday.

And we go to Wollman Rink

with the Andersons

every December 6...

Dear God, let it be at least a gift certificate
for some lousy wellness weekend in Ohio.

Otherwise, I'll lose it.

And I'm pregnant, remember...

That wouldn't be good for the
baby.

I warned you!

Oh my God!!

I love you!

Wait, let me see.

When do we take off? And where
do we land?

OK. First, we fly from JFK to
Paris.

Europe! I can hardly
believe it.

If someone had told me
three months ago that

I'd see my great-grandparents'
hometown before Christmas,

while I'm pregnant

I'd have said they're
crazy.

Ladies and gentleman,
this is your captain speaking.

Welcome on board of
Oceanic flight 86a

From Paris to Weeze.

Weather looks good and
tailwind is on our side

And we're expecting to
land in the

Lower Rhine area in Germany
5 or 10 minutes ahead of schedule.

So sit back, relax and
enjoy the rest of our short flight.

What?

We're going to have a girl!

We're going to have a girl?

Do you have some special source
of information?

I just feel that it'll be a
girl.

I'm totally certain.

What's favorite name?

Mason.

That's a boy's name.

I know.

But I said it's going to be a
girl.

I don't want to discuss girl's
names right now.

Why not?

Do you remember the Andersons?

Rose was so freaked out by the names
David suggested that he almost left her.

I don't want that to happen.

Yeah, I know. Her hormones were
going crazy.

We women are a little irrational
after getting pregnant.

Right? But...

...I have everything under
control now, no?

I'd better say yes.

You don't think so?

I wouldn't dare contradict you.

Fine. Then tell me your favorite
girl's name!

Whatever you want:

Giselle.

Giselle?

Giselle!

You're not serious!

You see? It's already starting!

You always begin an argument
with "You're not serious!"

But Gisele?! Come on!

There it is: a discussion.

That's just what I didn't want.

And that's why I won't say
anything more.

Yes, but...

...you started it. You can't
just stop now.

That wasn't my real choice.

What do you mean?

Gisele isn't my favorite. I just
wanted to see your reaction.

Oh, I see.

Fine. You know what:

I think Gisele's great.

That's what we'll call our
daughter.

Please, let's drop this.

We have plenty of time, and we'll
end up with your favorite anyway.

You're the mom. You're the boss.

If it's a girl,
I get to choose the name,

and if it's a boy, we'll call
him Mason.

You suggested Mason, and I like
Mason.

Fine, that's what we'll do.

But you have to tell me your
pick.

Yes.

But you might not like it.

That's a possibility.

Frieda.

Frieda?

Yes?!

Your great-grandmother's name,

the one who emigrated from
Germany?

I think it's great.

Really?

Really. I like it a lot. It
could've been my idea.

It could've been my idea.

I love you!

I'm not surprised...

Now I know why it won't be
difficult to pick us out.

There's not a lot happening
here.

Did you describe us?

As two good-looking Americans.

Shouldn't be difficult.

Welcome to Europe!

I'm happy...

Are you Mr. and Ms. Wilder?

Hi, yes.

Oh, how nice.

Welcome to Germany.

Did you have a good flight?

Yeah, it was fine. Thanks,
Ms...?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Elisabeth Thun.

I'm Ms Roth's daughter.

Nice to meet you.

I'm sorry you had to wait.

It's really nice of you to
pick us up.

Yes, it's no problem at all.

I live only 10 minutes from here and have to
go to the house anyway to show you around.

And...

...there's a car-rental company there that's much less
expensive than the ones at the airport. You'll save a lot.

Yeah, but it's still really nice
of you to do that, thank you.

You're welcome.

And you can have the house for
two nights as you booked.

That's right. Is there a
problem?

No, no...

My mother... She had to go to
the hospital yesterday.

She's not in very good shape.

Ah, oh.

Oh my gosh. Mark!

Ms. Thun, if you have other things to deal with,
we can spend the first few nights at a hotel.

No, no, absolutely not.

I talked to my sister, and it's
no problem at all.

Everything's been set up and
paid for.

So please get in, I'll drive you
to the house.

So we can get there before dark.

Here we are.

Welcome! I hope you enjoy your
stay.

We will. Looks amazing.

This is the living room,
which has a wonderful view of the lake.

But as you can see, the lake's
still dry after the hot summer.

Oh, what a shame.

It never happened before.

Okay, let's continue.

There's an old-fashioned
telephone in the hallway that also works.

If you use it, we charge one euro
per minute, but just for foreign calls.

This room has a sofa bed, so
there's room for four, which you won't need.

And this is...

...the children's bedroom. You
won't need that either.

Okay.

This is the bathroom, which has
a shower.

And this is the kitchen.

There's a combo washer dryer in
here.

You'll find everything you need
in the cupboards.

As arranged, we bought some
basics and put them in the fridge.

Great, thanks.

You can go to the supermarket yourselves
tomorrow morning, when you have your car.

And this is the master bedroom.

If you have any questions,
don't hesitate to call any time.

I wrote my number on the message
board.

So, if you'll excuse me now, I have
to go see my mother at the hospital.

Yes, thanks so much for
everything.

Yes, Elisabeth, thanks.

I'll be here at 9:30 to drive
you to the car-rental company.

But we can take a taxi if
you give us the address.

No, no, it's OK, I'll be glad to
take you.

Bye. See you.

Bye. Thanks.

Pooh. Poor woman.

But what a cool house.

Well done, husband.

I'll put the bags in the
bedroom.

Hey, let's go to the lake before
it gets dark.

Yeah, definitely.

Come on.

Wait a second, let me charge my cell
phone, the battery's almost dead.

Okay, I'll go outside.

Okay!

I can't charge my phone.

Why not?

Their outlets are different, I
didn't think about that.

We have to buy an adapter
tomorrow.

What do you think about this:

I bought two adapters before we
left,

they're in my bag.

I'm impressed!

But I did forget to turn off the
alarm clock in our bedroom.

It'll go off and play every
morning between 7 to 7:15.

Oh, really?

We should go back immediately,
right?

It's an option. I'll think about
it.

Yeah.

Mark?

Yes?

Thanks for all this!

Liv?

Yes?

Where are you?

In the living room.
Where are you?

Here in the kitchen.

Okay.

Why did you wipe Elisabeth's
phone number off the board?

I didn't wipe anything off the
board.

You didn't?

What do you mean?

Elisabeth's phone number,
she wrote it on the board in the kitchen.

She did?

Yeah, she said that she did.
Didn't you hear her?

I don't know.

Did you make coffee a little
while ago?

Why do you ask?

You asked whether I wiped away
Elisabeth's number and made coffee.

I've been lying here on the
couch the entire time!

The coffeepot's on the stove,
and it's still lukewarm.

Okay, well,

maybe someone was here this afternoon
to clean up and they made coffee.

And then forgot to rinse out the pot
and the coffee cup, which is still full?

And the bathroom isn't
really clean.

It looks like somebody
bled into the sink.

Not so good.

Mark, it doesn't matter.

This is a nice place,

and we shouldn't make a big deal
about an unwashed coffee cup

or a dirty sink, should we?

Hey, nobody's perfect. I'll
clean it up.

What's wrong?

I don't know. I'm just a little
out of it.

Jetlag.

What time is it, anyway?

It's 6:15.

That's 12:15 pm at home, right?

Did you sleep on the plane?

No.

No, not really.

Neither did I.

That means we missed an entire
night's sleep.

Should we go to bed now?

Let's wait a little while, then we'll
get into the rhythm here quicker.

Let's go to bed at 9, okay?

Let's go in now.

I'm cold.

Should I turn on some music?

If you want to.

Doesn't it work?

No.

Maybe the radio won't connect to
the internet.

Then just forget about it.

I don't mind a little quiet
right now.

Okay.

I don't know what's wrong
with me.

I don't even feel like having a
glass of wine or reading.

Wow, that's unusual.

You have to keep me awake
until 9 o'clock.

Do something!

Okay!

I've been wondering if this house had been
built when my great-grandparents lived here.

According to the booking
website, it was built in 1915.

So, yes.

Cool.

Maybe they knew the
owners and even visited here.

I wonder if someone died here?

It's possible.

Then the house might be haunted.

Like by a ghost who'll scare us
a little tonight?

Why are you so interested
in ghost stories?

What do you mean with...

..."interested in ghost
stories"?

Your interest in spiritual
stuff.

You always watch those
videos.

I bet you didn't think I
noticed.

My interest has some to do
with great-grandma Frieda.

Frieda?

That's relevant...

Do you wanna hear it?

What?

A ghost story about my
great-grandma.

Wow!

Have you been saving this for our first
night in your great-grandparents' hometown?

Maybe.

So do you wanna hear it or not?

It's a true story.

That's how most great stories
start:

Based on a true story!

Go on then. Now I'm curious!

My great-grandma was a medium.

A medium? What's that?

It's said that she could
communicate with the dead.

She had a group of people who held seances
with her every Sunday for many years.

That's when she supposedly
talked to spirits.

Uh-huh.

My mother's certain that her
grandma really had this gift.

Don't look at me like that!

After my great-grandfather died suddenly,
some important papers were missing,

birth certificates from Germany
I think,

and no one knew where he put
them.

Then my great-grandma contacted
my great-grandpa one day.

She spoke with your dead
great-grandpa?!

Maybe I do need a drink now.

My dead great-grandpa told my
living great-grandma

that the papers were in a safety
deposit box,

and the key was stuck under his
desk.

My great-grandma looked, and my
grandma and mom were with her.

And the key was there.

And it opened a safety deposit box.
And that's how they found the papers.

Ever since then my mom's convinced
that there's a life after death.

Now I'm not surprised that
you watch these videos.

You don't believe in it at all.

I just can't imagine that it's
true.

When we die, it's like going to
sleep, forever, but without dreams.

Everything's gone. Lights out.

I'm sure your great-grandma heard her
husband mention where the key was.

Then she forgot, and remembered it when
she thought she was communicating with him.

Yes, I know. I've thought about
too.

And maybe that's what happened.

But maybe it's not. There's no
way we can be sure.

For me, there's a big difference between
seeing my patients as just biological machines

Or...

and I know this sounds funny to you, but
I can't think of any other way to put it-

as spiritual beings.

But Liv, if that were true,
that we continue to exist in some form,

just imagine that we exist
forever?

What do you do all the time?

That doesn't make any sense. And that's
the problem with the idea of eternal life.

Maybe what we call time doesn't
exist on the other side.

What was it?

Your great-grandpa?

Your great-grandma?

Both of them?

Very funny.

Seriously, what do you think it
was?

I don't know.

Sounds like a mouse

or a rat.

Here in the floor?

Do you think they can get into
the house?

No, I don't think that mice or rats
can get into the house that easily.

What if they can get into our
bed.

There is something there.

I hate rats!

The house has doors facing the lake,
and I'm sure there's a basement.

It's possible that some animals
are crawling around in it,

maybe not mices or rats, it
could be a vole.

I'll take a look and find out.

That's great.

That's what you're here for.

To protect me from wild animals.

Than I'll do my duty and take a
look.

Liv?

Liv?

Hello? Can you hear me?

Are you trying to play a joke on
me?

What do you mean?

Why are you acting like you
can't see me?

I didn't see you.

Where were you?

Right here?!

But not a few seconds ago?!

Yes I was.

I thought you were
making some kind of bad joke.

I didn't see you.

It must be jet lag.

Did you find anything out about
our housemates?

There is a cavity under the
living room floor.

I'm sure there is some mice in
there, but I didn't see any.

If you can't see me when I'm standing right in front
of you, the basement's probably full of rodents.

I just hope they don't come up
to visit us.

Was Elisabeth's number there?

Yes.

So who wiped it away?

That's what I already asked you.

But I didn't do it.

I didn't either.

What was that?

Someone is walking around up
there.

No, the attic is just creaking,
this is an old house.

That doesn't sound like a creaky
attic.

Mark?

Mark?

There's nothing in the rooms.

But look,

there seems to be an attic over
them on both sides.

But I don't know how to get to
it.

There's a small door outside on
the gable.

I saw it when we came in.

Where?

It's right above the kitchen
door.

No one could be in there, right?

Is somebody up there?

If there is: please be quiet,

we want to get some sleep.

This is getting crazy. Is this some kind of
spook house and you didn't tell me about it?

Wish it were...

You do? Are you afraid?

I'd rather you said you aren't,
because I'm pretty scared.

No, no, no. It's nothing.

Let's take our phones into the
bedroom and lock the door.

Otherwise I won't be able to get
any sleep.

Did you move my phone?

No!

I put it here on the cabinet,
along with the charger cord.

I'm sure it's here somewhere.

Come on, let's go to bed. I don't
care what time it is, I'm dead tired.

What do you mean, it's here somewhere?
I'd like to know where my phone is.

Let's look in the bedroom.

What's wrong?

My phone?!

What about your phone??

It's not in any of my pockets.

I must have lost it.

Are you making fun of me?

No, I'm not joking. It's really
gone.

Maybe it fell out when you were
in the basement?

That's possible.

My phone isn't outside
either.

Did you really have to make a
mess here?

I didn't do that!

Oh, you didn't? Sure...

No, it wasn't me!

Mark?!

I turned the radio on a while ago, and it seems
to have finally connected with the internet.

Okay, then you can please turn
it off?

Sure...

Mark?

Mark?!

Liv??

How did you get there?

What do you mean?

Why are you there and not here?

Because I turned the radio off
and came back here?

No, you didn't!

I didn't?

No, you weren't there just a
second ago.

That's right, I was in the
living room.

Yes, but...

you didn't come back.

Of course I did, but you weren't
here anymore.

How is that possible?

We would've run into each other, right?
The house isn't that big.

But I'm here now. That's
obvious, isn't it?

Can you tell me why our bags have been ransacked
and things have been strewn around the bedroom?

No!! And I didn't do anything to
our baggage.

I thought that you put some
stuff in the wardrobe.

No, I didn't go near the bags.

And I wouldn't have left
everything like that.

That's your specialty, making a
mess of everything.

OK, so it was me who wiped off Elisabeth's
number and messed up our luggage, right?

No. It wasn't you. Of course
not.

No.

That's strange, because it
wasn't me either.

So there is only one answer:

it's all part of some kind of
game.

YOU booked this house, and now
there are these weird noises,

our phones disappear and our
luggage is rummaged through.

It's supposed to be like a
haunted house,

which is probably the way YOU
arranged it.

To be honest:

I was thinking along the same
lines.

That you're putting this on as
some kind of creep show.

It wasn't a coincidence you told me that
story about your great-grandpa and grandma.

And now the number
disappearing off the board.

Oh, right. You can't fool me.

It would be nice if you got the
phones so that we can charge them.

I'd like to call my parents and send a few texts
telling people that we've arrived safely.

I don't have the phones.

This is getting old.

Can we shut this game
down?

I'm dead tired and would like to charge our
phones, send some texts home and then go to bed.

You're really going all out with
this.

Mark!!

to be honest: I'm tired, too.

I'd like to get some sleep,
and that's why I'm begging you,

please get our phones and put
everything back into the bags.

I really don't have any more
patience for this.

Right!

Okay, what are we waiting for?

Is there going to be a ghost
or a serial killer or something?

Or are there hidden cameras?

It's all hilarious, but it's
getting old,

and I'm starting to get pissed.

Liv!!

this is the truth: all this
isn't my doing.

I didn't hide our phones or mess
up our luggage or make noises.

This house isn't part of an
amusement park,

and I have no idea what's going
on here.

Maybe you can tell me?!

It really wasn't you, was it?

No!

It wasn't me either...

Someone else is here...

What is it?

Did you hear something?

Mark?

What is it?

Who is that?

I've no idea...

Who are you?

Do you understand me?

Why is there a little girl in
the house?

What do yo want to do?

We should probably call
somebody.

Yes, call Elisabeth.

Good idea, but her number's been
wiped off the board.

Check the trip information!

It's in the cloud.
And I can't get to it without my phone.

Then look for our phones
in the children's bedroom.

Do you really think that the
little girl has our phones?

Who else?

I don't know.

She's probably just
totally scared.

Then use the landline and call
the police.

Come on!

What number should I dial? 911?

I don't know.

I'll try it.

No...

I'll check the guidebook.

It's 110 for the police.

Helio! Do you speak English?

My name is Mark Wilder. Do you
speak English?

Hello, can you... Hello? Hello?

He hung up. I don't
think he could hear me.

That's not possible. Let me try.

Do you speak English?

Hello, can you hear me?

Hello?

He hung up.

They can't hear us.

I'll call Jack!!

Hello!?

Jack? Oh, hi, it's me,
Mark. Can you hear me?

Hello??

Jack, can you hear me?

Who is this?

It's me, Mark! Can you hear me??

If you hear me, I can't hear
anything.

If it's you, Charlotte:

Stop playing games!

Jack?? Jack!!

It's not working. No one can
hear us.

Fuck.

This is so messed up.

What now?

I'll find out if the
girl has our phones.

Do you have our phones?

Okay, you can't understand me.

I'll just take a look around
your room.

They're not here.

I'll go outside to the road.
Someone'll drive by sooner or later.

What do you mean?

I'll go to the road and stop a
car or find the nearest house.

No, I don't want to stay here alone.
Without a phone, without you.

Liv: There's a little girl in
the house,

and we don't know who she is.

We have to contact someone, and
we can't just leave her here.

I'll find someone to call the police
and you stay here in the meantime.

What should I do about the girl?

She's in the bedroom.
Leave her there, I'll be back soon.

You're not serious, are you? Of course
I'll leave her there. I'm going with you.

OK. Liv, please. You have to stay here.
We can't leave the girl alone.

Just think: while we're getting the police, she goes
outside and falls in the lake or something else happens.

Then we'll have a real problem!!

Where are our phones?

Where's my watch?

And where's my ring?

My ring? Do you understand? This
isn't funny!!

If these souls
don't receive help,

Leaving the
intermediate world,

Their
uncertainty can result on

Haunting
locations or even indivduals.

...was briefly
together with his sun on the other side

Who appeared to
be approximately 10 years old...

Isn't there anybody in this damn
country? Come on!!

Hey! Please stop!!

Do you speak English?

Yes, of course!

Great!

Can you call the police for me?

Call the police? Are you
serious?

Do you have a cell phone?

Then can you drive me to
the police? I need help.

You must be joking.

No!

My wife and I are staying at a
house nearby. We're on vacation.

And a little girl just showed up at the house.
I need to talk to the police, and her parents.

I understand.

Get in.

Thanks. Thank you so much.

Do you know where they are?

Yes, more or less. And I have
the houses address.

Why are you driving with the top
down?

Because I like it.

Is the top broken?

No, I just put it down.

I prefer driving this way.

Is it far to the police station?

We aren't going there. We're going
to check on your wife and the girl.

No, please, I have to talk to
the police!

Listen, I'm sure that the girl's parents are
really worried and somehow we have to tell them...

This is the house, isn't it?

Fine, then we'll check on them
and then go to the police, OK?

Liv? I'm back!

Liv?

Liv??

Where are you?

Liv??

Aren't they here?

I'm sure they went for help.

Through that fog?

Where to?

Maybe someone picked them up!

Picked them up??

Yes, picked them up.

What do you mean?

Well,

maybe someone picked up your
wife and the girl.

Someone??

Who would've picked them up?

What do you mean?

I don't know.

Can you please take me to the
police now?!

That might be difficult.

But I'm sure that everything's
OK.

Otherwise, your wife would still
be here.

You think everything's OK?

If everything were OK, my wife
would be HERE and NOT GONE.

And there wouldn't be a strange
girl in the house.

I don't think that there was a
strange girl here.

Do you think I'm lying??

Oh dear...

I have to go...

Hey, wait! You apparently know
something.

What's going on here?

Liv??!!

Olivia!!!!!

Liv?

Liv?

Liv?

Liv?

Mark!? Where are you?

Liv!!

We're going to have a
baby...

I'm only nine weeks
long...

It'll be a part of you and
a part of me...

Having a baby will mean a
big change in our lives, won't it?

Oh my god...

I love you!

Mark?!

Mark??

Did you really have to
make a mess here?

"Hermann and Gerlinde Roth,
with daughter Gerda. July 18th, 1963."

Hello? Can you hear me?

Hello Mark!

Of course I can. Now we
can talk some more.

Hello?

Who are you?

The woman who just gave
you a ride in her car.

Did you contact the police?

No, that's not necessary.

I can help you find your
wife and the girl.

Who are you?

I'm Gerda Roth.

You're the owners second
daughter,

Elisabeth is your sister,
right!?

Elisabeth isn't my
sister, she's my daughter...

Your daughter?

Is that some kind of joke?

What are you trying to do,
anyway?

Just say it:

what do you want from us? Money?
How much?

Money?

You think I want money?

No, definitely not. But I can
help you get out of this situation.

If that were true, you would've gone
to the police like I asked you to.

Listen, I really want to help you.
But you have to trust me.

And I have to help you very carefully,
so that you do not get shocked.

Just tell me what you want.

I don't want anything. Just tell me what
you did right after arriving at the house.

Why do you want to know?

Hey!!

Just tell me!

The quicker you do, the
sooner you'll see your wife.

Tell me!

Elisabeth showed us the house,
which I am sure you know...

There is two dead bodies in your
rowboat.

You have seen two dead bodies in
the rowboat?

Who is it?

I don't know...

You don't know?

They are under a blanket, so I
couldn't...

Listen:

if you want to see your wife
again soon,

Tell me precisely everything that happened
and what you did, when you both arrived.

Think of your wife!

Elisabeth showed us everything,

then we said goodbye

and my wife and I walked to the
dock.

We sat down and talked.

And? What happened then?

There was a man...

He was walking along the lake
bed.

He came over to us.

We talked with him.

Then Olivia and I went into the
house...

Wait.

The man:

Exactly what did he do?

Think!

I can't remember...

It was somebody looking for
company, I guess. Nothing more.

When did he leave?

You don't know?

Is it important?

It IS important!!

Tell me...

Let me think.

I still have jet lag.

I'm sure he left, but what else?

For some reason I can't remember
clearly.

Your memories are like a dream,
aren't they?

What if everything that seems
like an illusion really happened?

And things that seems to happen
are only like an illusion?

What did the man do?

Did you really see him
leave?

Mr. Wilder?

Ms. Wilder?

I can't charge my phone.

Why not?

Their outlets are different, I
didn't think about that.

We have to buy an adapter
tomorrow.

What do you think about this:

I bought two adapters before we
left,

they're in my bag.

I'm impressed!

But I did forget to turn off the
alarm clock in our bedroom.

It'll go off and play every
morning between 7 to 7:15.

Oh, really?

We should go back immediately,
right?

It's an option. I'll think about
it.

Yeah.

Mark?

Yes?

Thanks for all this!

What's he doing?

Oh, I don't feel like
talking to him.

I'll take a shower...

You'd like that. You're
staying right here.

Hallo?

Ich komme zu Ihnen!

Sorry, but we only speak
English.

Ah, okay!

I said that I'm coming to you.

Are you from England?

Are you on vacation here?

Yeah, we just arrived for a vacation.
But we're Americans.

Americans!

Yes!

Now that you mention it.

I can hear it from your accent.

Real Americans, great.

I'm just going to have something
to eat.

Oh, no. That doesn't work for us right now.
Like I said, we just arrived...

It's really not a good time.

Don't worry!

I won't bother you for very
long.

I just want to have...

...a little snack.

Having an empty stomach makes me
a little sick.

And when do we have Americans
here,

real Americans?

This area was occupied by the
British after the war.

I'm familiar with England and spent
some time there when I was younger.

The English are a little strange
about food.

Fish and chips, disgusting.

And the bars close early,
most of them before midnight.

Can you imagine that?

You have to go to a restaurant if
you want to have another drink.

It's silly...

Isn't it?

Can you tell me something
about America?

You're so quiet.

Are all Americans quiet?

The English tend to be loud.

No, we just don't want to
bother you while you're eating.

You're not allowed to drink alcohol
on the street in America, right?

And you have a problem
with naked women on TV,

isn't that a fact?!

Even a nipple turns into a
scandal.

That's not normal.

And what about the climate
change?

Americans don't think it's
happening, do they?!

But look at this lake. Almost dried out. It
hasn't rained all summer. Climate change.

They say...

...that Americans are prudes.

Are you two prudes?

Listen, we...

Listen?? You want me to listen?

To what?

To the American point of view?

No nipples on TV, you can only
drink alcohol indoors,

but everybody can have a gun to
kill people in a school.

Is this the American point
of view?

Is it?

What's your name?

Olivia.

Olivia!?

That's a beautiful name.

My name's Walter, which isn't
really pretty.

Could I trouble you for a cup of
coffee?

Coffee??

Please!

That would be nice.
I haven't had any coffee for a long time.

Let's get him coffee and then
he'd leave...

I didn't want to be impolite.
I'm really interested in America.

I apologize if I seemed a little
abrupt.

It wasn't my intention.

So.

Can I have some coffee?

Of course...

Black. And no sugar,
please.

By the way:

You have a pretty ring.

You've a very nice wife.

We Germans have a lot to thank
you Americans for.

Yes?

Liberation from the Nazis. And then the reconstruction
and the CARE packages, which were a great help.

I think that we were happy to do
it.

A lot of Americans have German
roots.

Most of us.

Yes, I suppose that's true.

And then we Germans mostly
helped each other, right?

Do you have German roots?

No.

What a shame...

Hello?

Ms. Thun?

This is Olivia Wilder.

Is there a problem?

I just got to my sister's apartment,
and we want to go see our mother in the hospital.

Can I call back in a
few minutes?

No, that's OK. I'm sorry.

We'll be fine. We can talk about
it tomorrow.

Really?

Yes, of course. Thanks.

And all the best for your
mother.

Thanks. See you
tomorrow morning!

Yes...

Mark?

Mark??

Mark?! Where are you?
