Yesterday's Children

INSPIRED BY THE REAL STORY OF JENNY COCKELL

"" MY LIFE, IN ANOTHER LIFE ""

See you soon, Father, thank you.

Let's go! Quickly!

-Bridget, hurry! -Wait for me !

Wait for me!

How are you, Sonny?

Just!

Are you alright?

Okay, the Russels are here. I need their project.

I'm ... working on it.

You said it was going to end yesterday.

-Well, I'm a little late. -You can't be a little late!

Doug, I don't know. Is that...

I do not feel well.

I'm still having those dreams.

Right. I will tell them that we need more time.

I forgot to come and get you. How did you come home?

Brian brought me.

Why didn't you call me at the store?

-I can come home alone, mom. - It wasn't a problem, Mrs. Cole.

-See more colleges? -IS.

-Where are they? -In California.

I thought you were thinking about Stroudsberg.

You were the one.

It's a good college, Kevin.

It is in Lehig Valley. I do not know why...

I don't want to stay in Lehig Valley, mom!

Said?

Brian's brother is going to buy a new truck and sell the old one.

-How old? -It's 91.

That's 1,200 bucks. It has 216 thousand km.

It needs some adjustments, but I can do it.

From 91?

They said that if I added the money, I could buy a truck.

216 miles?

Dude, another year and I'm out of here.

-I have to go. -It's all right.

- See you later, Mrs. Cole. - Bye, Brian.

What's wrong with you?

It's those dreams again, isn't it?

Every night for the past few weeks.

Today, it happened at work.

It is not normal to have dreams like this during the day.

Course is. I do this in every Calculus class.

The money is mine, mom. I want to buy that truck.

All those years of trying, all those doctors.

-I didn't think it would be possible. -Me neither.

How long have you been?

Six weeks.

I do not believe.

We always said we wanted one more.

-Yes, when Kevin was 3 years old. -It just took a little longer.

Is that all you're going to say? What took a little longer?

What do you want me to say, Jen?

That was not in the plans? The plans will change and that's it.

Our life will change.

The important thing is to keep your head in place.

Aren't you worried about becoming a father again?

The only thing that worries me is business.

We have spent the past 20 years preparing for this.

We have 8 months to make it work. If we don't get that ...

I don't know what I'm going to do with Kevin's college or the new baby.

Good night dear.

A shilling, mom. Look.

I worked an extra hour. That's why I was late.

I won two more pennies.

I want you to stay with them. Hide it.

Don't let the father stay with them.

No, Sonny, you worked hard for him. That money is yours.

But I want you to stay with him.

It's ok.

She looked like me.

It sounds crazy, doesn't it, mom?

You are pregnant, dear. You have the right to be crazy.

I saw this. In a dream.

It is a church.

I think it's in Ireland.

You dreamed of Ireland when you were a little girl.

I just talked about it.

It drove your father crazy. "" Your Irish family "".

The dreams stopped when you entered school.

Maps of your Irish city.

You lived drawing them.

I don't know why I kept them.

Well, you drew that when you were only six.

Oi.

He's coming. He went to get the documentation.

Where is Daddy? He said he was coming.

Do not come. He had to check the Owens' work.

It looks great, doesn't it?

Well, I have the $ 1,200, but I need to borrow money for the pieces.

Maybe 400 bucks.

Kevin, something happened. We don't have any extra money now.

I will buy anyway.

What happened?

I'm going to have a baby.

What?

I'm Pregnant.

-Not even! -I found out a few days ago.

You will become an older brother.

-Yeah. -Kevin, I got the documentation.

Whatever that means ...

- Did you find it? -I found it, of course.

Legal.

It's all here ...

Come on, Sonny.

Come on, keep up the pace.

Check the trap that is there.

Quickly!

Did you get one?

-I have to kill him. - Did you get one or not?

What the hell is going on there?

What should I do?

I can't tell you what to do.

The trap is yours. You have to decide.

You have to decide.

We don't have all day!

Ready.

Patch, patch!

Don't tell anyone, mom. Please.

-I promise. -Now, that's enough! It's late!

Let's go!

And never tell him. Not even a word.

No, Sonny. Never. To nobody.

I promise.

Kevin, look at your mom.

The doctor said that getting pregnant at

You must have been very happy.

-Yes. -Of course.

Mom said you won't have any money to give me for the pieces.

You mean California is out of the question too, right?

-That's right. -Great.

This child was not even born and is already ruining my life.

Don't say that, Kevin.

Not the end of the world.

-For me it is. -Enough.

Thanks.

Did you ask Dr. Wickman about your dreams?

He said it is common to have strange dreams when you are pregnant.

But I don't think it has to do with pregnancy.

Jen, you are taking this too seriously. Kevin.

Are you alright. They're just dreams.

They don't just look like that.

Seem what, then? What do you see?

They are always the same, with a family in Ireland.

I've never been there, so I really don't know, but ...

Where in Ireland?

Any place ! Now, what question is that?

It's a geographical question, Doug.

Very funny, Maggie. Very good.

Do me a favor. Don't encourage that.

-Where do you think it is, Jen? -I don't know, mom.

You know what? I have an old ouija board in the closet.

Do you think that would help? Don't you see how ridiculous this is?

But.

Malahide?

Thank you.

Hi. I'm Jenny Cole.

I ordered a map, and they called me saying he had arrived.

I'll check. I'll be right back.

Excuse.

It looks like there are four children.

Sonny is the oldest. He has...

1 2, 1 3 years.

I feel like she loves them so much and ...

but there is something else, something ...

very dark.

-That's crazy. -It's not crazy.

Yes it is.

Found it.

It is a topographic map of the entire Malahide area.

Look.

The village. It's the same.

The road...

The church...

Here is the station.

The roads are the same on both maps.

And look, here's Swords Road.

This is Malahide.

Did you draw this alone?

-And didn't you know it was Malahide? -Not.

-Hi, you have a book ... -Excuse me.

It's real !

If Malahide is real ...

so who are these people that i keep seeing?

Are they real, too?

I bought that book for you.

It was written by Dr. Christopher Garrison.

He teaches theology at the University of Pennsylvania.

-He is also a hypnotherapist. -It's about reincarnation.

No mother!

You have never been to Ireland.

He drew things when he was a child, and again as an adult.

Garrison says that nobody has dreams like that. He says they are memories.

They couldn't be memories.

I'm not saying that I believe. I'm saying...

that can help explain what you're feeling.

I'll call you later.

-Bye mom. -Goodbye.
