Dark Spirits (2008) Movie Script
1
Good luck tomorrow.
Thanks.
Think you'll pass?
Maybe.
What?
What?
Going home, huh?
Hm?
Hm?
And what about your exam, huh,
huh?
Where did I put my key?
I don't know, maybe here?
Okay, now I really have to go.
Come to Prague with me.
This weekend?
No, to live there.
Together?
Yes, I've been offered a
job there when I graduate.
I'd like that.
So make sure you pass.
When I called
Mom, she sounded worried.
I don't know why.
Mom worries about us.
Yeah, I can
be hard to get hold of.
I get a little caught up in
everything,
and then another month has gone
by.
I'm really enjoying Prague.
Maybe just a quick call
to say you're all right.
That's all Mom and Dad want.
I will do.
So nice to see you.
Why don't you come to live here,
too?
We can go out, shopping.
It will be such fun.
I couldn't.
Eventually, I want to move to
Prague.
But Jan, I'm not sure
that's what he wants.
Oh, Jan.
What?
Well, he's from a small town.
So?
So he acts like he's from a
small town.
Tereza, don't be a snob.
I've felt down lately.
Again?
What are you trying to say?
Tereza, you have always
felt a little sorry
for yourself, but you have
nothing to worry about,
yet you act like an injured
person all the time.
What's the matter with you?
When did you become a bitch?
I'm just telling the truth for
once.
You know what?
Don't bother.
All right, now I'm going
to get some work done, so...
Tereza?
Tereza, hold on.
Come here.
Come here.
Tereza?
Tereza!
No, help, no, no!
Listen to me, Tereza.
Something strange just happened.
I had this dream about you.
Eva, I'm busy.
This is important.
You have to listen to me.
I don't have to do anything
you say.
I want us to be friends again.
We'll talk later.
No, no, this is important.
Mm, in the dream, I saw you...
I don't care about your
dreams.
One day, you'll get over
yourself.
I hope that happens soon.
Your mother wanted to come
here.
She couldn't get a flight.
What's the matter?
She didn't want to
tell you over the phone.
She wanted someone here with
you.
What?
What did she say?
Your sister, Tereza has been
killed.
No.
Don't you want to get up today?
Oh, would you like some tea?
Yes, thank you.
Did it take you a long
time to drive from Prague?
No, not long, a couple of
hours.
Yes.
Sergeant?
Yes, sorry.
Is it cold?
Maybe it's just me.
So, you told me on
the phone that he died.
In his cell, as though
he'd just stopped living.
So we are finished with the
case, then?
There was maybe somebody else
involved,
so I'm following some things
through.
Uh, there was a tape.
Nemec, when we arrested him,
spoke almost constantly,
incoherently, mainly random
words.
He was mad?
Or pretending to be.
We taped him alone in his cell.
The tape is unusual.
He mentions your name.
My name?
Why?
Maybe it's better if
I just play the tape.
Excuse me.
I have to take this.
Herz.
No, I told you, I told you
to call and do a follow-up on
that.
When I was a boy, he
spoke to me sometimes.
I was lonely, and I was glad.
I could hear his voice.
Why?
But you wanted to.
She had beautiful eyes.
And when I saw the pain
there, I wanted to close them.
I couldn't look into
them and see the pain.
So I had to end it.
Quickly, I made it fast.
Again, now it was over.
Crumpled.
Limp, silent but real.
Useless, I was useless there.
I was waste.
Human waste.
Why?
You never told me why.
No, not her, not Eva.
Oh, was I asleep?
Yes.
I thought I was awake.
I saw Lucas Nemec.
But, there was someone else.
Are you feeling all right?
He, he looked at me.
He looked at me.
Oh, I must sound completely
crazy.
Look, if you need
somebody to talk to, I can
arrange...
No, no, no, no, no, it's all
right.
I feel good.
But I really think he was there,
another person in the cell.
Nemec said some very strange
things.
You don't know why he mentioned
your name?
I don't know.
You went to school with him.
You don't remember?
No.
I'm not sure.
Where was she found?
Was it in a, an old house,
almost ruined?
No, it was on the street.
Why do you ask?
I'm not sure.
I just wanted to know more
about what happened to her.
Are we close?
We're nearly there.
I'm excited to see the
new flat.
I'm not sure we packed
everything.
We have everything
that would fit in the car.
Save me from him.
Something weird happened
today.
You did some work?
Oh.
I'm just kidding.
- Mm.
- What happened?
No, it's nothing.
How is the writing?
A lot of work, but it's okay.
What about you?
What about your new job?
Good.
- Mm.
- I just got back.
New people?
They're okay.
Maybe you should try unpacking.
Mm, yes, we'll get around to
it.
Oh, my flowers.
Do you like it here?
We have just arrived.
But your impression?
What do you think now?
I like it.
It's all been a little fast,
really.
It's a step, isn't it?
I think it's going to work out.
Jan.
- Mm.
- Jan, I heard a noise.
You were wrong.
You were wrong.
Eva!
Petra!
You must be careful.
Yes.
What's the matter?
Nothing, I thought I saw
someone, but it wasn't.
Let's go to the cafe.
Yes.
I was glad when Jan got his job.
But it does feel a little
strange
to be back here after all
these years, good but strange.
Plus, I have been sleeping
badly, weird dreams.
I haven't dreamed like
this since I was a child.
I find myself dreaming the same
things.
What kind of things?
Tereza, losing her,
talking to her sometimes.
I miss her so much.
I'm so sorry, Eva.
It's okay.
I like talking about her.
She was special.
Do you remember when we were
children?
Sure, I remember.
We were always playing
some games and laughing.
Tereza was so cute, little
sister following behind you.
And did we ever know
someone called Lucas Nemec?
Yes, he was our friend.
Our friend?
He's the one who murdered
Tereza.
Why?
I don't know.
I think he went mad.
Will you come over to dinner?
Yes.
Why didn't we stay in touch?
We meant to.
Prague felt lonely without you
and Tereza.
But you're here now.
See you.
Bye.
Ooh, I like it.
It feels good here.
More.
I feel good for a change.
What was the matter?
Doctor said it was different
things, stress, maybe.
It's hard to live here.
Yeah.
What happened between you and
Tereza?
We had an argument.
What about?
Tereza was angry.
She had mood swings.
She's with you.
I didn't know if it was
wishful thinking,
but I felt her.
No, it's true.
Petra, can you feel anything
now?
Yes.
She's...
Nothing.
Am I interrupting?
No.
No, hi, darling.
When my mother died,
her clients called me
and wanted to continue the
sessions.
I was broke, and I needed the
money.
Did it work the same way?
I mean, did you get a similar
result?
Do you mean, am I a fake?
Jan.
Sometimes.
I can't always switch on and
connect.
But, I make people feel better.
Sometimes, I hear these noises
at night.
Most of the time, that's
all they are, noises.
Nothing to worry about.
Was there ever...
Did anything strange happen?
Plenty of times.
Too many, almost.
How do you cope?
Sometimes I don't.
And, um, how does it feel?
It depends.
Sometimes it feels great, and
I'm happy
and able to make a
difference, help people.
But it's hard to switch off,
and that's when it's a problem.
What happens?
It's not good.
How about that wine?
Of course.
It all seems a little
farfetched.
Jan, do you have a soul?
I'm not sure.
It's a pretty big thing not to
know.
But then I wonder if this is
it.
Nothing else.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Mm, oh, have we been shopping?
- A present.
- Mm-hm.
Oh, let me see.
Interesting.
When we were talking
yesterday,
it reminded me of this book.
Mm.
Come on.
I was at work today, and I
was looking out of the window.
I saw the clouds float past.
People were walking the street
down below,
and I imagined myself
walking out of the city,
following the clouds,
walking into another life.
Hm.
But then I remembered it was
my lunch hour and I was hungry.
And that this was what I
wanted, a suit, a career.
It's interesting.
Mm-hmm.
But I'm not sure I understand
all of it.
Yeah, it is complicated.
Very, and also quite weird.
What kind of stuff?
That there is 11 dimensions.
We are so small that
we can't experience them.
Oh.
What else?
Hm?
That there is an infinite
number.
- Mm-hmm.
- Of these parallel universes.
That is really fucked up.
You know, is this weird, this
stuff?
Or we are just high.
It is really weird,
and we are really high.
Yes, I think energy is
important,
really very important.
Like oral energy.
Are you wearing a new perfume?
No, I'm not wearing any today.
Eva?
Would you come here for
a moment and smell this?
Yeah, you're still stoned.
Maybe.
I recognize it.
Yes.
What is it?
I like it.
My sister used to wear it.
Is this because we are high?
I'm giving up pot.
Me too.
For a while anyway.
- Fuck.
- She looks nice.
You saw her?
The girl?
Yeah, yeah, she's very nice.
Little bit confused.
I don't know where she's
going there, but nice, yeah.
Do you have something to eat or
something?
Yes, yes.
You want?
Yeah, great, thank you.
What is your name?
David.
Ah, David, I'm Eva.
Have we met before?
I think I know you.
You don't know anything about
me.
No, no.
Oh, a little bird.
I saw a bird sitting on the
ground,
so beautiful, delicate,
making little chirping noises,
and then it was crushed by a
dog.
The owner pulled it away, but
the bird
was lying there, crumpled and
limp.
And it was done, so I had to end
it.
I couldn't stand the pain.
I hated it, though.
Why it is like that?
Why?
Death happens all the time.
Thank you for the apple.
Yes?
No, he's not here at the moment.
Of course.
Sure, bye.
Hi.
Hi.
I'm having trouble with my
heating.
Do you know how to fix it?
I don't think so, but I can
have a look.
I'm finishing my degree
and, um, Jan is working.
He's a lawyer.
Did you feel that?
No, what?
Like a coldness just went
past.
I'm scared in this building.
In this town.
Do you feel that sometimes?
You are not scared.
You are just a little lonely.
Once you settle in, make a few
more friends, you'll be fine.
You think so?
Of course.
Do you have another sandwich?
No, sorry.
I'll give you something nice
next time.
You know, I
wasn't always like this.
I had things.
I even had a house I lived in,
but I didn't like it.
I'm looking for a house.
Maybe it's the same place.
Maybe.
Sorry, I have to go.
Talk to me for a while,
please.
No, sorry, I have no time.
She's not there.
Have you ever felt someone
behind you, looking at you,
and then you turn around and see
them?
No.
I don't think so.
That's what I have here
sometimes.
I feel as though I am being
watched.
It's not something I
think or physically feel.
It's more than that, as
though it's a higher sense.
A higher consciousness?
I know it sounds strange,
but...
I've had weird feelings
sometimes.
I'm not sure there is anything
to it.
The mind triggers sensations
in certain places.
Jan, it's more than that.
You're not open to these at all.
That we have something in this
flat?
Not only the flat.
Since we've come to Prague,
since my sister died,
things have not felt right.
I'm here for you.
You can count on me.
Don't get it.
Hi.
It's late.
Petra?
Mm?
I think something else is
happening.
I feel something.
Another spirit is with me.
Really?
That's wonderful.
It is?
Yeah, you have a gift.
I would just like to
see my sister again.
Your sister and I spoke to
someone when we were children.
I'm not sure if you heard him,
too.
Yes, I think I remember.
I thought you were just
trying to scare us.
No.
And my parents thought
you were going mad.
They didn't understand.
Most people don't.
It was just kids.
We had an imaginary friend.
But you feel the same thing
now.
I don't know.
I feel so tired.
Do you want to stay in the
spare room?
Yes, thanks.
I'll see you in the morning.
Yes, I will.
Promise.
Love you.
Bye.
No!
What happened?
I saw someone.
It's fear.
That's all it is.
They like to scare us so
they can feel alive again.
You'll be fine.
This reminds me of when we were
kids.
Yes.
I would come round to your
house.
We'd all stay up and talk, have
breakfast.
Go for a walk in the park.
I had some problems then,
some things I can't remember.
What happened last night?
Oh, do you see?
Birds.
How wonderful to fly like that.
They're so fragile, so easily
crushed.
Maybe that's a part of their
beauty,
why people are attracted to
them.
Is one for me?
No, sorry.
Do you want one?
No, that's fine.
It looks good.
Mm, I am making it for
someone.
Really?
Really.
Did you find that
house you were looking for?
No.
No.
How do I know you?
I don't know.
I can't remember.
Oh, children.
It was fun when I was a child.
My parents loved me, and I had
friends.
I had four friends, and
we used to play adventures
and love, and we all knew him.
Yeah, he had very nice house.
And we would play there,
trying to scare each other.
You've been there.
Tell me, tell me, where is it?
Oh, it's years ago.
Maybe doesn't even exist.
She's close.
Who?
Tereza?
I have this for you.
What use is a fucking
sandwich?
You think it's really going
to help me, that scrap, huh?
Just to make you feel
better about yourself, yeah?
You need it because you could
help her and you didn't, huh?
Yeah, you're too selfish to
give me just a couple of coins.
Can't you give me a little
money?
- No.
- Can I have a little money?
I don't have anything.
You're lying.
I don't understand why you
can't give me some money.
I don't understand it.
You really need it?
Your boyfriend will give it to
you, no?
He'll give you some money, to
fuck you,
like all the others, no?
Cheating on your first love.
Yeah, yeah, can you give me some
money?
Can you give me some fucking
money?
Can you give me some
fucking money, please?
She should never have come back
here.
Nemec wasn't alone.
Christ, it's cold.
You're not cold?
Anyway, I'm getting closer.
What was that?
It's a car.
What are you scared of?
Nothing.
I have to find the other one.
I know who it is.
But you wouldn't believe me.
We will find David.
Don't worry.
You spoke before about
an old house, a ruin.
Can you tell me where you saw
it?
Yes, I saw.
In my dreams.
Eva, try to be careful.
Thanks, bye.
Sergeant Herz came around.
Did they find David?
Not yet.
I could take some time off.
Really?
We could go home.
That's great.
I'll ask tomorrow.
You can have this, if you like.
What is it?
A charm.
It's for protection.
I like it.
Where did you get it?
Um, I picked it up in India.
Or rather, um, a yogi
thrust it into my hand.
He looked into my eyes and
told me I would need it.
Mm, maybe he knew something.
That I was foreign and had
money.
Oh.
Probably.
Oh, you're skeptical.
Just realistic.
I'm sorry about the other day.
I don't know what happened.
But you were nice to me,
and it meant something.
Maybe we knew each other once,
in a future life.
Keep looking.
She needs you.
Mm.
What's the matter?
I feel a little weird.
Sure.
Tell me about Tereza.
What happened?
She had been acting strangely,
angry.
I tried to understand
what was happening to her, but I
gave up.
I stopped caring.
I couldn't stand the mood
swings, the depression.
She called me, said she needed
me
to go to her, but I didn't.
And then it was too late.
And now she's come back.
Jan, I need to take a break.
I should get my contract in a
few weeks.
Shall we go then?
Not sooner?
I can't.
[voices whispering
[voices whispering
Unlock it.
Eva, the door won't open.
Eva, open the door, please!
Trouble?
I think we should go
right now, actually.
What about your work?
They'll understand.
Let's get out of here.
We'll go home.
Did you see the bracelet you
gave me?
You lost it already?
It must be at home somewhere.
Don't you feel like shaving
today, hm?
Not really.
Mm, no kisses for you.
Are you sure, huh, huh?
Where are you?
Eva.
Eva.
Eva!
Eva, where are you going?
Jan?
Jan?
It's me, I lost you.
Did you see them?
Who?
Eva.
I know you're here.
I'm not scared of you.
It must be sent away.
And exorcism can do this,
but you need to believe.
Are you religious?
No, you remember?
My parents were Communists.
There was no religion.
Not even God?
No.
Strange to believe in ghosts but
not God.
Yeah.
So then no religion can help
you.
No priest can help you.
Jan.
Mm.
Did you hear that?
Hello, Eva.
How are you?
I thought I heard you.
Did you call out?
I haven't been feeling too
well lately.
Can I get you anything?
How about some tea.
Yes.
Let's have some tea.
I've met people who
had strange experiences.
Hm, why is it that everyone
you have met
has fallen under the influence
of this?
Maybe it's not them.
Maybe it's you.
You are seeing things?
I don't know.
I spoke to Sergeant Herz.
You know him?
Of course.
But how?
He asked how you were.
He hasn't spoken to you
since you came here?
But I call him.
Are you sure?
Did you hear that?
What, my child?
That noise.
I can't hear anything.
Klara.
Klara, look.
Oh, is it chilly for you?
I should close the window.
That's better, hm?
You didn't actually close the
window.
Of course I did.
I should leave.
Why?
Desperate to run after that
good-for-nothing gangster?
You want to keep me up all
night?
Selfish cow.
Why are you so fucking selfish?
What are you talking about?
You know what I'm talking
about!
Why have you left him with me?
You will join your sister soon.
He's here for you.
No, don't go.
Eva, let me in.
I need help.
You know this.
Eva, please.
Help me.
Don't leave me out here.
Eva, your sister needs you.
She's here beside me.
Tereza called on me.
You're here now.
That's good.
Jan.
Should I call the police about
what happened last night?
I don't think you need to.
She may, I don't know.
She could injure herself.
It's past that.
What?
I went around there earlier
to see if she was all right.
What happened?
I just called an ambulance.
And how is she?
Not too good.
She's dead.
Oh, fuck.
I'm going to look.
No, Eva.
The ambulance will be here any
minute.
Eva.
Klara?
Klara?
Did you see the look on her
face?
Not really.
She was horrific.
Dying is not pleasant.
Sure, but I am worried about
asking him.
These were old people who
died because it was their time.
If anything else, it's just...
What?
Crazy?
I don't think you are crazy.
But there is another reason for
this.
Eva.
Oh, yes, sorry, mm, I've been
checking
from Klara, Mrs. Stovichova.
Yes, of course, I was just
there.
It's unsettling.
Sergeant, I need to talk about
things.
Things, yes, uh, I
need to tell you things.
We found Tereza in an
alley next to Lucas Nemec,
but that's not where she was
killed.
I've been looking for a crime
scene.
I know where she was murdered.
I see him.
He's after me.
Look behind you.
I found you.
Don't say that again.
Come here!
Fuck.
Tereza.
What does that mean?
Time is different here.
I feel calm.
There is another place,
but he pulls me back.
Jan, our parents.
Try and maybe you can see
them.
Eva.
Eva!
Eva.
Eva!
Come.
Where are you going?
Sometimes I feel
that maybe it wasn't right
for you to come back to Prague.
I know.
Where did I put my key?
I don't know, maybe here?
Okay, now I really have to go.
Come to Prague with me.
This weekend?
No, to live there.
Together?
Yes, I've been offered a
job there when I graduate.
Maybe.
I'll... go.
Bye.
Good luck tomorrow.
Thanks.
Think you'll pass?
Maybe.
What?
What?
Going home, huh?
Hm?
Hm?
And what about your exam, huh,
huh?
Where did I put my key?
I don't know, maybe here?
Okay, now I really have to go.
Come to Prague with me.
This weekend?
No, to live there.
Together?
Yes, I've been offered a
job there when I graduate.
I'd like that.
So make sure you pass.
When I called
Mom, she sounded worried.
I don't know why.
Mom worries about us.
Yeah, I can
be hard to get hold of.
I get a little caught up in
everything,
and then another month has gone
by.
I'm really enjoying Prague.
Maybe just a quick call
to say you're all right.
That's all Mom and Dad want.
I will do.
So nice to see you.
Why don't you come to live here,
too?
We can go out, shopping.
It will be such fun.
I couldn't.
Eventually, I want to move to
Prague.
But Jan, I'm not sure
that's what he wants.
Oh, Jan.
What?
Well, he's from a small town.
So?
So he acts like he's from a
small town.
Tereza, don't be a snob.
I've felt down lately.
Again?
What are you trying to say?
Tereza, you have always
felt a little sorry
for yourself, but you have
nothing to worry about,
yet you act like an injured
person all the time.
What's the matter with you?
When did you become a bitch?
I'm just telling the truth for
once.
You know what?
Don't bother.
All right, now I'm going
to get some work done, so...
Tereza?
Tereza, hold on.
Come here.
Come here.
Tereza?
Tereza!
No, help, no, no!
Listen to me, Tereza.
Something strange just happened.
I had this dream about you.
Eva, I'm busy.
This is important.
You have to listen to me.
I don't have to do anything
you say.
I want us to be friends again.
We'll talk later.
No, no, this is important.
Mm, in the dream, I saw you...
I don't care about your
dreams.
One day, you'll get over
yourself.
I hope that happens soon.
Your mother wanted to come
here.
She couldn't get a flight.
What's the matter?
She didn't want to
tell you over the phone.
She wanted someone here with
you.
What?
What did she say?
Your sister, Tereza has been
killed.
No.
Don't you want to get up today?
Oh, would you like some tea?
Yes, thank you.
Did it take you a long
time to drive from Prague?
No, not long, a couple of
hours.
Yes.
Sergeant?
Yes, sorry.
Is it cold?
Maybe it's just me.
So, you told me on
the phone that he died.
In his cell, as though
he'd just stopped living.
So we are finished with the
case, then?
There was maybe somebody else
involved,
so I'm following some things
through.
Uh, there was a tape.
Nemec, when we arrested him,
spoke almost constantly,
incoherently, mainly random
words.
He was mad?
Or pretending to be.
We taped him alone in his cell.
The tape is unusual.
He mentions your name.
My name?
Why?
Maybe it's better if
I just play the tape.
Excuse me.
I have to take this.
Herz.
No, I told you, I told you
to call and do a follow-up on
that.
When I was a boy, he
spoke to me sometimes.
I was lonely, and I was glad.
I could hear his voice.
Why?
But you wanted to.
She had beautiful eyes.
And when I saw the pain
there, I wanted to close them.
I couldn't look into
them and see the pain.
So I had to end it.
Quickly, I made it fast.
Again, now it was over.
Crumpled.
Limp, silent but real.
Useless, I was useless there.
I was waste.
Human waste.
Why?
You never told me why.
No, not her, not Eva.
Oh, was I asleep?
Yes.
I thought I was awake.
I saw Lucas Nemec.
But, there was someone else.
Are you feeling all right?
He, he looked at me.
He looked at me.
Oh, I must sound completely
crazy.
Look, if you need
somebody to talk to, I can
arrange...
No, no, no, no, no, it's all
right.
I feel good.
But I really think he was there,
another person in the cell.
Nemec said some very strange
things.
You don't know why he mentioned
your name?
I don't know.
You went to school with him.
You don't remember?
No.
I'm not sure.
Where was she found?
Was it in a, an old house,
almost ruined?
No, it was on the street.
Why do you ask?
I'm not sure.
I just wanted to know more
about what happened to her.
Are we close?
We're nearly there.
I'm excited to see the
new flat.
I'm not sure we packed
everything.
We have everything
that would fit in the car.
Save me from him.
Something weird happened
today.
You did some work?
Oh.
I'm just kidding.
- Mm.
- What happened?
No, it's nothing.
How is the writing?
A lot of work, but it's okay.
What about you?
What about your new job?
Good.
- Mm.
- I just got back.
New people?
They're okay.
Maybe you should try unpacking.
Mm, yes, we'll get around to
it.
Oh, my flowers.
Do you like it here?
We have just arrived.
But your impression?
What do you think now?
I like it.
It's all been a little fast,
really.
It's a step, isn't it?
I think it's going to work out.
Jan.
- Mm.
- Jan, I heard a noise.
You were wrong.
You were wrong.
Eva!
Petra!
You must be careful.
Yes.
What's the matter?
Nothing, I thought I saw
someone, but it wasn't.
Let's go to the cafe.
Yes.
I was glad when Jan got his job.
But it does feel a little
strange
to be back here after all
these years, good but strange.
Plus, I have been sleeping
badly, weird dreams.
I haven't dreamed like
this since I was a child.
I find myself dreaming the same
things.
What kind of things?
Tereza, losing her,
talking to her sometimes.
I miss her so much.
I'm so sorry, Eva.
It's okay.
I like talking about her.
She was special.
Do you remember when we were
children?
Sure, I remember.
We were always playing
some games and laughing.
Tereza was so cute, little
sister following behind you.
And did we ever know
someone called Lucas Nemec?
Yes, he was our friend.
Our friend?
He's the one who murdered
Tereza.
Why?
I don't know.
I think he went mad.
Will you come over to dinner?
Yes.
Why didn't we stay in touch?
We meant to.
Prague felt lonely without you
and Tereza.
But you're here now.
See you.
Bye.
Ooh, I like it.
It feels good here.
More.
I feel good for a change.
What was the matter?
Doctor said it was different
things, stress, maybe.
It's hard to live here.
Yeah.
What happened between you and
Tereza?
We had an argument.
What about?
Tereza was angry.
She had mood swings.
She's with you.
I didn't know if it was
wishful thinking,
but I felt her.
No, it's true.
Petra, can you feel anything
now?
Yes.
She's...
Nothing.
Am I interrupting?
No.
No, hi, darling.
When my mother died,
her clients called me
and wanted to continue the
sessions.
I was broke, and I needed the
money.
Did it work the same way?
I mean, did you get a similar
result?
Do you mean, am I a fake?
Jan.
Sometimes.
I can't always switch on and
connect.
But, I make people feel better.
Sometimes, I hear these noises
at night.
Most of the time, that's
all they are, noises.
Nothing to worry about.
Was there ever...
Did anything strange happen?
Plenty of times.
Too many, almost.
How do you cope?
Sometimes I don't.
And, um, how does it feel?
It depends.
Sometimes it feels great, and
I'm happy
and able to make a
difference, help people.
But it's hard to switch off,
and that's when it's a problem.
What happens?
It's not good.
How about that wine?
Of course.
It all seems a little
farfetched.
Jan, do you have a soul?
I'm not sure.
It's a pretty big thing not to
know.
But then I wonder if this is
it.
Nothing else.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Mm, oh, have we been shopping?
- A present.
- Mm-hm.
Oh, let me see.
Interesting.
When we were talking
yesterday,
it reminded me of this book.
Mm.
Come on.
I was at work today, and I
was looking out of the window.
I saw the clouds float past.
People were walking the street
down below,
and I imagined myself
walking out of the city,
following the clouds,
walking into another life.
Hm.
But then I remembered it was
my lunch hour and I was hungry.
And that this was what I
wanted, a suit, a career.
It's interesting.
Mm-hmm.
But I'm not sure I understand
all of it.
Yeah, it is complicated.
Very, and also quite weird.
What kind of stuff?
That there is 11 dimensions.
We are so small that
we can't experience them.
Oh.
What else?
Hm?
That there is an infinite
number.
- Mm-hmm.
- Of these parallel universes.
That is really fucked up.
You know, is this weird, this
stuff?
Or we are just high.
It is really weird,
and we are really high.
Yes, I think energy is
important,
really very important.
Like oral energy.
Are you wearing a new perfume?
No, I'm not wearing any today.
Eva?
Would you come here for
a moment and smell this?
Yeah, you're still stoned.
Maybe.
I recognize it.
Yes.
What is it?
I like it.
My sister used to wear it.
Is this because we are high?
I'm giving up pot.
Me too.
For a while anyway.
- Fuck.
- She looks nice.
You saw her?
The girl?
Yeah, yeah, she's very nice.
Little bit confused.
I don't know where she's
going there, but nice, yeah.
Do you have something to eat or
something?
Yes, yes.
You want?
Yeah, great, thank you.
What is your name?
David.
Ah, David, I'm Eva.
Have we met before?
I think I know you.
You don't know anything about
me.
No, no.
Oh, a little bird.
I saw a bird sitting on the
ground,
so beautiful, delicate,
making little chirping noises,
and then it was crushed by a
dog.
The owner pulled it away, but
the bird
was lying there, crumpled and
limp.
And it was done, so I had to end
it.
I couldn't stand the pain.
I hated it, though.
Why it is like that?
Why?
Death happens all the time.
Thank you for the apple.
Yes?
No, he's not here at the moment.
Of course.
Sure, bye.
Hi.
Hi.
I'm having trouble with my
heating.
Do you know how to fix it?
I don't think so, but I can
have a look.
I'm finishing my degree
and, um, Jan is working.
He's a lawyer.
Did you feel that?
No, what?
Like a coldness just went
past.
I'm scared in this building.
In this town.
Do you feel that sometimes?
You are not scared.
You are just a little lonely.
Once you settle in, make a few
more friends, you'll be fine.
You think so?
Of course.
Do you have another sandwich?
No, sorry.
I'll give you something nice
next time.
You know, I
wasn't always like this.
I had things.
I even had a house I lived in,
but I didn't like it.
I'm looking for a house.
Maybe it's the same place.
Maybe.
Sorry, I have to go.
Talk to me for a while,
please.
No, sorry, I have no time.
She's not there.
Have you ever felt someone
behind you, looking at you,
and then you turn around and see
them?
No.
I don't think so.
That's what I have here
sometimes.
I feel as though I am being
watched.
It's not something I
think or physically feel.
It's more than that, as
though it's a higher sense.
A higher consciousness?
I know it sounds strange,
but...
I've had weird feelings
sometimes.
I'm not sure there is anything
to it.
The mind triggers sensations
in certain places.
Jan, it's more than that.
You're not open to these at all.
That we have something in this
flat?
Not only the flat.
Since we've come to Prague,
since my sister died,
things have not felt right.
I'm here for you.
You can count on me.
Don't get it.
Hi.
It's late.
Petra?
Mm?
I think something else is
happening.
I feel something.
Another spirit is with me.
Really?
That's wonderful.
It is?
Yeah, you have a gift.
I would just like to
see my sister again.
Your sister and I spoke to
someone when we were children.
I'm not sure if you heard him,
too.
Yes, I think I remember.
I thought you were just
trying to scare us.
No.
And my parents thought
you were going mad.
They didn't understand.
Most people don't.
It was just kids.
We had an imaginary friend.
But you feel the same thing
now.
I don't know.
I feel so tired.
Do you want to stay in the
spare room?
Yes, thanks.
I'll see you in the morning.
Yes, I will.
Promise.
Love you.
Bye.
No!
What happened?
I saw someone.
It's fear.
That's all it is.
They like to scare us so
they can feel alive again.
You'll be fine.
This reminds me of when we were
kids.
Yes.
I would come round to your
house.
We'd all stay up and talk, have
breakfast.
Go for a walk in the park.
I had some problems then,
some things I can't remember.
What happened last night?
Oh, do you see?
Birds.
How wonderful to fly like that.
They're so fragile, so easily
crushed.
Maybe that's a part of their
beauty,
why people are attracted to
them.
Is one for me?
No, sorry.
Do you want one?
No, that's fine.
It looks good.
Mm, I am making it for
someone.
Really?
Really.
Did you find that
house you were looking for?
No.
No.
How do I know you?
I don't know.
I can't remember.
Oh, children.
It was fun when I was a child.
My parents loved me, and I had
friends.
I had four friends, and
we used to play adventures
and love, and we all knew him.
Yeah, he had very nice house.
And we would play there,
trying to scare each other.
You've been there.
Tell me, tell me, where is it?
Oh, it's years ago.
Maybe doesn't even exist.
She's close.
Who?
Tereza?
I have this for you.
What use is a fucking
sandwich?
You think it's really going
to help me, that scrap, huh?
Just to make you feel
better about yourself, yeah?
You need it because you could
help her and you didn't, huh?
Yeah, you're too selfish to
give me just a couple of coins.
Can't you give me a little
money?
- No.
- Can I have a little money?
I don't have anything.
You're lying.
I don't understand why you
can't give me some money.
I don't understand it.
You really need it?
Your boyfriend will give it to
you, no?
He'll give you some money, to
fuck you,
like all the others, no?
Cheating on your first love.
Yeah, yeah, can you give me some
money?
Can you give me some fucking
money?
Can you give me some
fucking money, please?
She should never have come back
here.
Nemec wasn't alone.
Christ, it's cold.
You're not cold?
Anyway, I'm getting closer.
What was that?
It's a car.
What are you scared of?
Nothing.
I have to find the other one.
I know who it is.
But you wouldn't believe me.
We will find David.
Don't worry.
You spoke before about
an old house, a ruin.
Can you tell me where you saw
it?
Yes, I saw.
In my dreams.
Eva, try to be careful.
Thanks, bye.
Sergeant Herz came around.
Did they find David?
Not yet.
I could take some time off.
Really?
We could go home.
That's great.
I'll ask tomorrow.
You can have this, if you like.
What is it?
A charm.
It's for protection.
I like it.
Where did you get it?
Um, I picked it up in India.
Or rather, um, a yogi
thrust it into my hand.
He looked into my eyes and
told me I would need it.
Mm, maybe he knew something.
That I was foreign and had
money.
Oh.
Probably.
Oh, you're skeptical.
Just realistic.
I'm sorry about the other day.
I don't know what happened.
But you were nice to me,
and it meant something.
Maybe we knew each other once,
in a future life.
Keep looking.
She needs you.
Mm.
What's the matter?
I feel a little weird.
Sure.
Tell me about Tereza.
What happened?
She had been acting strangely,
angry.
I tried to understand
what was happening to her, but I
gave up.
I stopped caring.
I couldn't stand the mood
swings, the depression.
She called me, said she needed
me
to go to her, but I didn't.
And then it was too late.
And now she's come back.
Jan, I need to take a break.
I should get my contract in a
few weeks.
Shall we go then?
Not sooner?
I can't.
[voices whispering
[voices whispering
Unlock it.
Eva, the door won't open.
Eva, open the door, please!
Trouble?
I think we should go
right now, actually.
What about your work?
They'll understand.
Let's get out of here.
We'll go home.
Did you see the bracelet you
gave me?
You lost it already?
It must be at home somewhere.
Don't you feel like shaving
today, hm?
Not really.
Mm, no kisses for you.
Are you sure, huh, huh?
Where are you?
Eva.
Eva.
Eva!
Eva, where are you going?
Jan?
Jan?
It's me, I lost you.
Did you see them?
Who?
Eva.
I know you're here.
I'm not scared of you.
It must be sent away.
And exorcism can do this,
but you need to believe.
Are you religious?
No, you remember?
My parents were Communists.
There was no religion.
Not even God?
No.
Strange to believe in ghosts but
not God.
Yeah.
So then no religion can help
you.
No priest can help you.
Jan.
Mm.
Did you hear that?
Hello, Eva.
How are you?
I thought I heard you.
Did you call out?
I haven't been feeling too
well lately.
Can I get you anything?
How about some tea.
Yes.
Let's have some tea.
I've met people who
had strange experiences.
Hm, why is it that everyone
you have met
has fallen under the influence
of this?
Maybe it's not them.
Maybe it's you.
You are seeing things?
I don't know.
I spoke to Sergeant Herz.
You know him?
Of course.
But how?
He asked how you were.
He hasn't spoken to you
since you came here?
But I call him.
Are you sure?
Did you hear that?
What, my child?
That noise.
I can't hear anything.
Klara.
Klara, look.
Oh, is it chilly for you?
I should close the window.
That's better, hm?
You didn't actually close the
window.
Of course I did.
I should leave.
Why?
Desperate to run after that
good-for-nothing gangster?
You want to keep me up all
night?
Selfish cow.
Why are you so fucking selfish?
What are you talking about?
You know what I'm talking
about!
Why have you left him with me?
You will join your sister soon.
He's here for you.
No, don't go.
Eva, let me in.
I need help.
You know this.
Eva, please.
Help me.
Don't leave me out here.
Eva, your sister needs you.
She's here beside me.
Tereza called on me.
You're here now.
That's good.
Jan.
Should I call the police about
what happened last night?
I don't think you need to.
She may, I don't know.
She could injure herself.
It's past that.
What?
I went around there earlier
to see if she was all right.
What happened?
I just called an ambulance.
And how is she?
Not too good.
She's dead.
Oh, fuck.
I'm going to look.
No, Eva.
The ambulance will be here any
minute.
Eva.
Klara?
Klara?
Did you see the look on her
face?
Not really.
She was horrific.
Dying is not pleasant.
Sure, but I am worried about
asking him.
These were old people who
died because it was their time.
If anything else, it's just...
What?
Crazy?
I don't think you are crazy.
But there is another reason for
this.
Eva.
Oh, yes, sorry, mm, I've been
checking
from Klara, Mrs. Stovichova.
Yes, of course, I was just
there.
It's unsettling.
Sergeant, I need to talk about
things.
Things, yes, uh, I
need to tell you things.
We found Tereza in an
alley next to Lucas Nemec,
but that's not where she was
killed.
I've been looking for a crime
scene.
I know where she was murdered.
I see him.
He's after me.
Look behind you.
I found you.
Don't say that again.
Come here!
Fuck.
Tereza.
What does that mean?
Time is different here.
I feel calm.
There is another place,
but he pulls me back.
Jan, our parents.
Try and maybe you can see
them.
Eva.
Eva!
Eva.
Eva!
Come.
Where are you going?
Sometimes I feel
that maybe it wasn't right
for you to come back to Prague.
I know.
Where did I put my key?
I don't know, maybe here?
Okay, now I really have to go.
Come to Prague with me.
This weekend?
No, to live there.
Together?
Yes, I've been offered a
job there when I graduate.
Maybe.
I'll... go.
Bye.
