But it's like, I don't know, in my ears or something.

It's like this constant ringing.

I don't know, maybe I can...

Maybe I can help you out a little bit.

It's okay, it's okay.

Why don't you get some sleep, all right?

I'll hit up the bar,

and maybe I can dig up an Advil or somethin', okay?

Thank you.

All right, just feel better.

Hey!

Babe, babe?

Are you sleeping?

I'm so sorry.

One, two...

There you go.

Morning.

Many drinks he had last night.

I got the picture.

You take picture?

Nevermind.

I don't drink.

It breaks the web.

You want some tea?

Sure.

Do you think she's, like,

getting a conductor or something?

Listen, man, all Balkan women

are like idol of the swamp.

You understand?

I'm sorry.

Like what?

Idol of the swamp.

Once shine with the light of God,

but now, covered in shit.

No, pardon me.

I'm sorry!

You yell, bruh.

Always, you yell.

Always, she come back.

- Like this! - Okay.

She'd fuck your brains out.

It's true.

All Serbian women fuck like this, even her.

Makes her feel young, you know?

Mm-hmm.

Like your Cass.

It is good we only sleep last night.

Walls are very thin here,

and to me, you seem like man who may be liking loud, huh?

So how long till we get to Skopje, huh?

Three hours.

But this place here, I also know very well.

- Here? - Yes!

My father used to work here before the war.

Oh, that was when the country split apart, right?

- Yes! - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Bravo! - Okay, okay.

- Bravo! - Yeah.

Yeah, my family,

we used to live in small village then,

factory convert, making bombs.

Told you about this last night.

- You remember? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

No,

just, I didn't know Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- We were so close by. - Could have sworn-

- Yeah. - Could have sworn

you'd remember.

- No. - Well, here,

everything is close by,

but this place, close in a different way.

You want to burn film,

no better place than this,

or are you just fucking around with this thing?

Everything good?

Yeah, no, he was just telling me about some abandoned town

or, like, a munitions factory, or somethin', right?

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, I know it very well.

I can show you, if you like?

But we have to get off at the next station.

I think very unique honeymoon destination.

Well, I'm game.

Very good!

So what's the weather like in Macedonia?

Well, we have sun for the flag, so.

Got it.

Cass, ring on right hand,

no creepy guy, no problem?

You know the jury's still out on that one, honestly.

Well, maybe creepy guy don't like lady smoking so much.

Makes her voice too deeply.

You want real style?

Vintage.

Belonged to my mother.

- Oh! - Huh?

You know, that's not really my kind of statement piece,

but it's cool, though.

You know what?

I bet your sister would like something like that.

- Maybe. - Yeah.

So how far away is this place?

Hour and a half.

I get us car.

Do you have cash for, like, hotel,

and food, and stuff?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Don't worry about anything.

I take care of everything, you know?

There is place where we are sleeping.

Let's go.

- We'll find Josip. - 'Kay.

Smell that.

Please, take.

Thank you.

Scuba diver!

Josip's old cat died.

He was very famous around here.

- So sorry. - Sorry.

Cass, you sit in the shotgun.

What do you say in America?

"Home, sweet home."

Huh?

Garbage.

- The dead mend. - The dead mend.

- The living weave. - All scared.

You see?

You hear?

Cass?

Cass?

Man, I really hope this stuff turns out.

I just realized, I don't really know how this works.

You can't get film,

like, developed in the States anymore, you know?

We still have laboratory here.

- Yeah? - Yes.

There's always solution, Gav.

Hey, babe, you comin'?

Careful, Gav.

Listen.

So how long has this place been abandoned?

'94, maybe '95.

Many explosion and injury.

Parts of factory collapse.

Gav, they teach you in US about breaking of SFRY,

Slovenia, Croatia?

I went to public school.

Lucky we learned about slavery.

So your country, they like

throwing bombs Kosovo, Belgrade,

but they don't like teaching?

Stop filming!

Put camera down!

Look at me!

200 people working here once.

A different country, a different world.

You should fucking respect!

I mean, you brought us

here to film, man, so- Well, back home,

you show pictures to your friends.

You look at picture.

You don't see!

Let me paint you a picture, huh?

One night, the man is coming to your house.

You see him from the window coming up your street.

Maybe many men?

You have dreamt their eyes the night before they arrived.

You are truly alone in your country,

your city, your own home.

Maybe she's still here, if you're lucky.

What do you do, huh?

Huh?

What will you do?

I don't know.

It's not a hard question, Gav.

All that moves is fury,

and who know this live.

You listen to football match on radio.

Favorite team is playing,

but they cut your neck.

You're drowning in your own blood,

falling asleep for the last time

while you watch them taking turns...

fucking her.

Your children.

Your nation is here!

You see?

You hear?

Forgive me, friends.

This place, it sings to me strong emotion, you know?

Cass, you still have champagne?

Maybe we drink a little?

Come!

Clear skies tonight!

We see stars!

Galaxy, we see, maybe?

Where's the road we came in on?

Sorry?

Where Josip dropped us off?

No, we're sleeping here.

Wait, wait, what?

There's no way I'm sleepin' here tonight, man.

Why not, man?

Number one, all I've had to eat today

is a piece of bread, all right?

I'm sorry, friends,

I thought you understand we are sleeping here tonight.

Can we just go, please?

Gav, this place, at night, with fire,

beautiful shadows, my friend.

You roll up your camera,

I go get food, huh?

Okay.

You have bars, right?

What, wait, what?

Do you wanna just Irish goodbye this guy?

Well, there's no way I'm staying here tonight, dude.

Cass, you bought the ticket, okay?

Now we're just takin' the ride.

And- Look, if you wanna stay here

and wait for Saint Peter to come back

to listen to God knows what, you know what?

Be my guest, but I'm gettin' outta here.

First, we crash a wedding, 'cause you have to dance,

and then we're on a train- Yeah, and right now,

I wanna get the fuck out!

This isn't a negotiation.

I'm out.

Sure.

I am out!

Perfect.

Cass!

Huh?

Tomorrow you will be most beautiful goddess in Skopje.

I make fire, it's cold.

The road is closed at night.

You just come, take it.

Uh-huh.

- And you're paying attention? - Yeah, I'm watchin'.

- Take it like this. - Mm-hmm.

Take it out, you throw it.

- Mmm. - You try now.

Go on!

It doesn't bite anymore.

- God! - Good.

Yeah?

Steady hands, though.

- Yeah, I got it. - Relax.

- Mm-hmm. - Okay?

You like?

Hmm!

- Continue right there. - Mm-hmm.

Told you we would see starts tonight.

So how long does this usually take?

You have to be patient, man.

It's going to be perfect.

- Okay. - Trust me.

Okay, yeah.

Smelling food?

No car comes?

It's freezing here.

Oh, here you go, babe.

You don't need it?

No, no, I'm fine.

The fire's plenty warm.

The key is to keep spinning it, so it is equally.

I'm not super into meat.

Whoa!

- Oh. - Gav, keep an eye on this.

Love birds!

Come swim the night sky with me!

- Right? - Very good.

I'm a natural.

I'm sorry.

- Dammit! - Hey.

No, no, no.

- It's all right. - Mm-hmm.

Open your eyes.

The skies.

♪ Love birds ♪

♪ Car is here ♪

Come to road!

Gav.

Come, come!

Faster, let's go!

I take this.

- Wait, Jesus Christ! - Hey!

Stop!

Wait!

Saint Peter, stop!

Wait, fucking stop the car!

What are you doing?

What the hell are you fucking doing?

Stop!

Let him in!

Jesus Christ!

Get in, get in.

Well, you guys really got me good, huh?

You should've heard the screams of your wife

as the terrorists kidnap her.

It's not even fucking funny.

My uncle lives close.

A lot of people here, they move to Western countries,

but their mothers and fathers stay here,

are here still.

What about your mother?

No, she's close, but not here.

Not here.

She also work in factory.

But after accident, she doesn't leave the house.

Apologize.

He was confused.

Now he knows the way.

So the city square is that way, maybe 15 minutes.

Hey, yeah, no, thank you for the ride.

- We really appreciate it. - You're most welcome, Cass.

Come!

We'll go to my uncles.

- I'll make some food, yeah? - No, no, no, that's okay.

No, I'm starvin' like Marvin.

He's always so eager to eat.

Come on!

No meat this time.

I must make good impression

from bad understanding last night.

Hey, don't!

- I don't wanna go in there. - At least for coffee.

We eat then we boogie, okay?

Let's go.

Sorry, my uncle,

he always working.

Online auction.

Sells all things.

Buy new.

I help when I can.

Huh!

Hey, man, what's the deal with these watches?

This is crazy, man!

Ah, they sell like gold.

I think I need one for myself.

I get you good deal.

Why are you standing here?

Sit down.

You know, you don't have to go through

any trouble with the food.

It is no trouble at all.

I go and make some food really quick.

- Sit down, you relax. - Sure, but...

You know, I just...

I didn't get much sleep last night,

and so I think...

I think we should probably just get back to the hotel.

Of course.

I understand.

I drive you.

Let me just get car keys.

Oh, no, no, no, that's okay.

We can call a cab.

My friends, please don't think badly of me.

Here.

This is the best rakia of Macedonia.

Huh!

One glass of this before making love,

baby boy for sure, guaranteed.

Two glasses, twins.

Very powerful spirit.

All right, all right!

I might have to take you up on that.

You need anything while you're in town, you call me.

Maybe when I come to New York City, you give me tour?

Good, man, thank you so much.

Of course, my friend.

This is yours.

You think about this, yes?

I will.

I think I'm gonna go home.

Oh, you wanna go back to...

I'm sorry?

Wait, what?

I think I'm gonna call the airline,

and change my ticket, and go home.

Fuckin' knew it.

What?

Just wanna end this now or...

Gav, I'm not ending anything.

I just wanna go home.

So we get home,

and just goes on like normal, or...

Yeah!

Like, Gav, the last couple of days, man, we...

Like, they've just been too much.

Well, if that's how you feel,

then, you know, you should...

You should go do that.

I'll see ya back at the hotel.

Okay.

Have you seen this man?

Can you understand me?

Do you know...

- Oh, cigareta? - Yes.

Oh, American girl, no?

You like to shop?

You like to shopping?

I'll take you to shopping, baby.

You are size two?

You have boyfriends?

Yeah!

Does he buy you nice clothes?

Are you kidding me?

I take you to shopping, baby.

What are you doing here?

What the fuck are you?

You should appreciate your luck.

Where is Gav?

He's meeting me.

I'll wait with you.

Oh, no need.

Fine, tell Gav I have watch he called about.

Wait, what?

Ahh!

The best local beer.

- Have you had a chance to try? - Where's Gav?

He say you are leaving him.

My god!

Can I pay you to fuck off, man?

No, wait, you know what?

What's the point in your whole thing?

I'm serious.

Like, Saint Peter, what is that?

Do you wanna fuck Gav or something?

No, you can tell me.

I'm not a jealous person.

You wanna fuck me?

Yeah, keep laughin', but it ain't happenin'.

Mmm.

Okay.

He say, you no love him anymore.

Fuck you!

It's true?

Did you talk to him or not?

He called about Uncle's watch.

- Told me to bring to hotel. - Mm-mmm.

That's bullshit.

Gav's never worn a watch.

He was just being polite.

Because you know him so well, don't you?

You didn't know he liked old film camera,

but he went out and bought old film camera, didn't he?

Yeah, but you're so fuckin' slick!

Sit down, Cass.

I thought you didn't drink?

You little one-eyed piece of shit.

Every proper Yugo drinks beer from the age of 12.

It's like boza.

You really don't like?

Okay, so he called you,

and he wanted you to bring the watch to the hotel?

Yes.

Or I can give to you, if you like?

And you never see me again.

I grab him, put him in my mouth.

We eat him up, shit him out,

and now, he belongs to the pipes.

Probably back at hotel by now.

- Bring to Gav. - Yeah.

Gift.

Fuck you!

Gav?

Gav?

Cass, follow my voice.

Cass, do not be afraid.

Cass!

The dead mend

The living weave.

Welcome home.

You are caught in the web.

You must already know!

Cass!

Anton?

Anton?

Sleeping Beauty.

You know what woke her up.

No!

Please!

No!

No, no, no, no, no!

No!

No!

No!

No!

God, no!

Gav?

Oh, my god!

Gav, look at me, look at me, look at me!

Cass?

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.

Just keep looking at me.

Uncle is so tired of this song,

but I just can't get it out of my head since the wedding.

No!

Cass, Cass, Cass, Cass?

Gav,

I don't think you see so well,

but that's okay, me neither.

But can you hear?

Cass?

Cass?

Please, he needs help!

Please, let me get him some help!

No, no, no, no!

Wait!

Save it.

And you...

Always see into the distance.

You feel them, don't you?

You feel them crawling across the darkness.

You see with Mama's eyes,

those inside,

those who do not close.

What do you hear with her ears?

What do you hear?

What do you hear?

What do you hear?

Don't cry.

He's still with us.

He mends the web now.

Tell me, what do you hear?

What is the sound?

Ringing.

Say louder so everyone can hear.

Ringing.

I knew it.

I knew it!

We all knew!

Mama knew.

Sweet Anton, he knew.

Mama!

Our family grows!

Cass, we have to be patient.

She will speak,

Minutes or days.

It is yours.

You just listen.

Hmm?

We will wait for you to join us.

And then to the American watching now,

yes, we see you.

Our sight is unbound by borders and time.

The miracle of electric tape has brought our voice to you.

Now, breathe.

The dead mend.

The living weave.

The dead mend.

The living weave.

The dead mend.

The living weave.

The dead mend.

The living weave.

The dead mend.

The living weave.

The dead mend.

The living...

Yes, Cass.

Cass.

You have finally come,

and now, you can hear.

The noise of living is behind you.

Cass.

Let us open your eyes together.

The first eye is open at birth.

It sees only today.

When the second eye opens,

it grants perspective.

It reveals our place in the physical world.

You will see that weaving and mending are the same.

Cass.

Your third eye asks to open.

Obey it.

Birth is always painful.

You forgot this.

Remember it now.

The fourth eye opens without asking.

Can you see yourself now with this new pair of eyes?

Be calm.

Now, you are never alone.

The fifth eye opens,

a smooth black stone polished by the ocean.

The water puts us together.

We put the water back together.

The sixth eye opens clear as a ball of glass.

It bends the light into new shapes.

Anything possible is visible.

The seventh eye opens in the heavens.

It is the sun.

You can see from above all that is below.

The blood.

The joy.

It is too much.

There is nothing to see beyond this, but we will try.

You will now open the eighth eye.

Open it now.

Like many before,

violence has called your eight eyes to open.

Cass.

You see, dead, alive,

it makes no difference.

And now there is nowhere you can go

where we are not with you.

The dead mend.

The living weave.

Do it!

The dead mend.

The living will weave.

The dead mend.

The living weave.

The dead mend.

The living weave.

The dead mend.

The living weave.

- The dead mend. - We are family now.

We own death.

And now, there is nowhere you can go

- where we are not with you. - The dead mend.

No!

Fuck!

Come on!

Cass!

- What did you do? - Oh, my god!

Oh, my god!

What did you do?

What did you do to our family?

What did you do?

What did you do to Mama?

Oh, god, come on!

What did you do to Mama?

What did you do to Mama?

Come on!

Where will you go?

Where will you go, Cass?

Where will you go where we are not with you?

Oh, my god!

The dead mend, the living weave!

You will not get far!
