In Russia prison, your life story is written on your body.
Promises must be made.
I accept.
And secrets must be kept.
It is always good to have some one whom I can trust to do simple task.
Forget any of this ever happened.
State away from pay pole like me.
You can not afford to be careless in any air here.
Do not look at her any more.
How did you come in here?
There are always open doors.
Family is important to you people, is it not.
You think I know things that you do not know?
I need to know who you are.
Show some respect.
This ... is ... respect.
It is like a disease; there is no cure once they have touched you.


I wander make him an offer he can not refuse.
This is the business we have chosen.


Some times the world of the dead mists up with the world of the living.

Do you mean they just vanished?
Into thin air.
How do you do, children? I am your new man he.
Are you go in to leave us, too?
Why should I leave you?
The others said they would not. They did.
And then it happened.
Why have you opened the curtain?
It was Victor.
You told your brother that there was some one else in the room!
There was.
That will do, An.
I have seen them, too.
You have?
Sooner or late her she will see them. And then everything will be different.
What do you ...?
Help!
They are everywhere; they say this house is theirs!
No!
Children! Come here! Run!
Can you not hear it? There is some one there.
Where is my daughter?
Are you mad? I am your daughter.

Phraseology is at a loss to explain what has caused this weather..
Baffled by the large is hail storm on record ..
There is snow in India ..
The ocean rose by twenty five ..
What you see ..
There are walls of water coming towards New Your City ..
WHERE .. WILL .. YOU .. BE .. The Day After To-morrow.

You know the accident out there?
Ye.
That lady, she broke her neck.
Oh my god, where is she?
Standing next to my window.
You have a secret but you do not wants to tell me.
I see dead people; walking around like regular people.
I do not see anything.
Make sure they are there.
They are every where.
They wants me to do things for them.
I think that they know you are one of these very rare people who can see them. So you need to help them.
I do not think that is the way it works.
Not every gift is a blessing.
Please make them leave.
I am working on it.
