The Abandoned Page #2

Synopsis: In 1966, somewhere in Russia, a wounded woman drives a truck to an isolated farm with two babies. Forty years later, the film producer Marie Jones leaves her daughter in California and travels back to her home land in the wilderness of Russia. Marie is one of the children and had received a phone call from the notary public Andrei Misharin, who told her where the farm of her family is located. Marie arrives at the abandoned house and meets the stranger Nicolai, who tells her that he had also received a call from Misharin and he is her twin brother. Weird things happen in the house and Marie and Nicolai are haunted by zombie-like ghosts of themselves. Further, they find that they are trapped in the house and can not leave the place.

what happened to her?

I've been here

for a couple of days now.

You were lucky I found you.

Another few minutes and that

would have been a different story.

I saw something here

when I first arrived.

What?

Hey.

Come on.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Our mother was stabbed here.

Look. Old blood.

Did Misharin tell you

anything else?

About what?

Our father, maybe.

Look, I know about

as much as you do, okay?

There's men's clothes

in the other closet.

See?

Our father's clothes.

- Let go. Jesus...

- Sorry.

He didn't say anything

about any father, okay?

In fact, he didn't mention anything

about any brothers either,

so why should I trust you?

Have you seen the cribs?

No.

Look.

See the name?

It's the same as the one

on your medallion.

Mine is on the other one.

Milla.

What were you running from

when you fell in the river?

I saw my...

I don't know. No.

It's okay. I'm fine.

Maybe I really am

going crazy, you know?

I'm finally crazy

after all these years.

And twin brothers?

F***ing Russia.

Who's Emily?

You were calling her name

in your sleep.

What's it to you?

Where are you going?

There's a generator

in the basement.

We've still got

a few hours before dark.

I want to get it running.

Hey...

We've got to get out of here.

We've got to find

that truck I came in.

There are no vehicles here.

This is an island.

So what about the bridge?

The bridge is down.

If I hadn't pulled you

out of the river,

we wouldn't be talking.

How long was I out for?

Long enough to change your clothes

and dry your hair.

Nice tattoo, by the way.

Nothing creepy.

I had to get you out

of those wet things before...

I mean, we are brother

and sister, right?

- Come on.

- Hey.

You never said

how you got here.

I walked.

Took me a few days.

My unit trained in this area.

See that door?

I heard something moving

back there on the first night.

Where does that lead to?

I don't know.

Come on, Nicolai.

I don't like it down here.

Give me a minute.

What the hell is that?

Sounds like a truck.

- Jesus, it's him.

- Who?

Hey.

Hey, wait!

Wait! Marie!

It's Anatoliy.

Hey, I don't like this.

Wait a second!

Yeah, let my go, Nicolai.

I've had it with this sh*t.

The bridge is down, Marie.

Whoever that guy is,

he's part of it.

What do you mean?

You have a gun, don't you?

Wait!

Hey.

Anatoliy!

Damn.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Are you crazy?

Where the hell is it?

You...

You saw it too, right?

Is this what you were looking for?

This hasn't moved

anywhere for years.

This is the same truck

I came here in.

- It worked.

- Don't be silly.

It can't be the same one.

What was that?

Hey, these aren't animal bones.

Looks like a bullet wound.
