The Mare (Mare)

I hate you.

I hate you!

Dad?

Dad?

She's dead because of you!

God, this job is going to kill me.

Don't look so grumpy. You need this.

You'll survive a few days with your grandmother.

I think you'll have fun.

It won't help.

Well, we have decided to try it.

Being out here will do you good. Get a little distance from the city.

A little?

WELCOME TO VADHEIM POPULATION: 238

There you are. Come in. So good to see you.

I'm sorry it's dark in here, but the daylight is bad for my eyes.

- You haven't been here for a long time. - Yeah, it's been a while.

How have you been?

It's been tough, but we manage.

You remember where the bedroom is?

Up the stairs and to the right.

What does he know?

Nothing. We don't talk about her at home.

- What does he say? - Complains about nightmares, doesn't sleep.

Don't worry about those things.

I just don't know what to do.

I've had many pasients like that.

- It's just been so many weeks.... - I'll try to talk with him.

The peace and calmness in here will probably help.

I see you still wear the other half?

Yes.

- What about Tom? - It varies.

Some days are better than others.

We'll try this for a few days. It'll probably make it better.

Liam, I'm leaving.

Remember your medication. I'll see you in a few days.

Sunday.

How are things at school?

How are you and dad?

- He's working most of the time. - You know your grandfather is sick?

He gets confused and uneasy.

If you want to see him I have to go with you.

Are you having trouble sleeping?

Sometimes.

Nightmares?

It's probably because you're growing. You're becoming a young man.

- Did you get any medications? - Yes, but I don't like to take it.

They don't give you medications for no reason.

I've met a lot of people with similar problems.

Most of them grow it off eventually.

- Do you think a lot about your mother - No.

It's ok to think about people we love

even though they're not here.

She didn't think about me when she did what she did.

Well, well...

Maybe the time here will help you.

Sleep well.

I could always relax here, but now I don't feel at home here anymore.

I'm tired, but I can't sleep.

I thought it would help to go out here, but I'm afraid it makes it worse.

I'm having nightmares...

She's telling you: Don't lose yourself.

- What's going on here? - Nothing.

Know where you are. What you do.

- You have to try to sleep. - Yes.

Walking around at night doesn't help.

Help!

No! No!

No!

Liam? Liam?

Liam, you have to wake up!

You have to wake up, Liam.

Is it this bad?

Good morning. You're up early.

- Grandma? - Yes?

Am I sleeping in mom's old room?

Some of her things are still up there.

Most of those things should be packed away.

Try not to dig around in those things.

I'm going to the grocery store.

Why don't you eat a good breakfast?

Then you can go outside, the weather is nice.

Hi! This is Martin's voicemail...

Grandpa?

- Grandpa? - Know where you are and what to do.

- Did this belong to mom? - She wrote what she saw.

Until she didn't know where she was.

- What did you do? - Tried to persuade her...

But it was too late.

What did you do?

No! Get me out!

Grandma!

Where are you?

Where are you?

Grandpa!

No. No. No.

- No. no. - Help.

- No... - Help.

Help!

- Why aren't you sleeping? - Why are you asking?

We have to call dad.

This isn't normal.

I agree that this isn't normal.

But we're not calling anyone right now.

You were watching TV.

You watched TV until you fell asleep.

You didn't do anything!

I don't think you know what you're talking about.

Mom's diary contains more than you know.

She's trying to tell me something.

That diary was thrown away a long time ago.

Are you sure you still want to keep him here?

He'll be better in the hospital. But it's your call of course.

We've tried to explain it with an extreme form of dementia.

He doesn't know where he is, what he says or what he does.

We've tried several treatments, but none has given good results.

He became more and more paranoid.

He listened to everything she said. In the end, he believed it himself.

Go away!

Where are you? Where are you?

Go away!

Go away! Where are you?

Where are you?

No! No! No!

Where are you? Where are you?

Where are you?

Go away!

No, no, no...

I can't bear it...

Come back!

Please. Listen to me.

Tom?

She's not coming back.

Lately, he's just been lying in bed.

That makes me worried.

You're having some troubles sleeping?

Are you taking something besides sleeping pills?
