Undone

Ruchel?

Ir hot mikh gefunen.

You found me.

Why have you been behind this door?

I was left here.

By who?

By me.

What do you mean? Wh-What happened?

I'm not so sure anymore.

Where are we?

- Home. - Can you show us?

We want to understand. We want to help.

Come on. You'll be safe with us.

This is where I grew up.

If you didn't see who did it, we can't help you.

Ruchel, what goes there?

Oh, that's my house.

Hello, can I help you?

You're Zusman Talmon.

Yes.

I need to see your wife.

Why is he going inside?

He wanted Mama to see for him.

Can you show us?

Sure.

Leeba.

There's an officer here.

Is there a problem?

I heard you're a soothsayer.

You can tell the future.

No.

Not exactly.

I know you can.

And I need to know something.

I will pay you.

What do you think, darling?

Can you help this man?

You help people, right?

Friends and family, and never for money.

Well, make an exception.

Mama had a gift. I was learning from her.

What is it you want to know?

There's a woman. I want her to be my wife...

What will she say?

I never knew my grandmother was a mystic.

What was she doing with the bowl?

She's using it to focus power.

You know, many ancient cultures used reflecting pools

as portals to higher planes.

I am not getting a clear reading.

But I'm sure this woman loves you.

How could she not?

Try again.

It is clear, Mama.

She will deny him.

I know, but he cannot hear this.

He will blame us.

What did she say?

What are you saying?

Speak in Polish, not your Jew-tongue.

Apologies.

My daughter was confused.

I'm sorry we cannot help you.

What a waste.

But why?

Why must we burn them?

They can arrest us just for owning such things.

Even our rabbi is opposed to this.

Our emigration papers will be ready soon.

Then we'll be able to leave.

Where are we going?

We love our home.

But there is a dangerous feeling rising.

We must be careful as we plan our way out.

Come and see.

Mama!

Papa!

Mama...

Damn it.

If we don't destroy these things,

we will be the ones destroyed.

Now go to the shed and fetch the broom.

Go on.

What happened in there? What did you see?

I can't remember, but what happens next

is lost in there.

You have no idea what belongs there?

No. But the Geraldines live there.

The Geraldines?

Yeah. She's me.

All of them.

The other part of her collage.

That's everything.

The house on Greene Road.

And that's the boarding house where she first lived

in San Antonio.

Her giving birth.

It's all there.

It's all so real.

So real but so far away.

She's keeping her childhood deep in her subconscious.

Something she doesn't want to access about this village.

There's some traumatic memory lost in the blankness.

Right. I was right.

Whatever belongs in that blank space is what haunted her.

The reason she told Mom not to adopt Alejandro.

We fix this, we fix everything.

- It's possible. - We have to get to those other versions of you.

We have to help them remember

- what they want to forget. - What is it?

Ruchel, what is it? What's wrong?

I don't want to go in there.

Every time I go, I call for them. They don't care.

They don't understand I'm lonely here.

Okay. Well, Ruchel, we're here with you now, okay?

We'll take care of you.

Can you show us how to get there?

Okay.

Hello there.

Do you need help finding your family?

Oh, um...

Mishpokhe?

Ah, mishpokhe.

No. No mishpokhe.

Uh... Evelyn.

You? Who are you?

- Geraldine. - Come on.

Geraldine.

I knew she changed her name,

but I still don't understand why.

What happened to her parents?

- I don't know. - Whatever this trauma was,

it forced her to change everything.

We need to find a moment where she's open

to tell us what happened.

Just one moment in her entire life, but...

That's a lot of life.

Whoa! Jesus Christ.

We got to be careful in here.

Yeah. Look, there she is on her wedding day.

Let's just try there.

Okay, we'll just ask her what happened after your dad

- broke the reflecting bowl. - Okay.

Mom, we need to ask you something.

No. Not today.

It's me. We're here to help.

No, you're not. Go away.

Mom, I need you to help us understand what happened.

What goes in here?

Why would you bring her here?

Hey, can you keep her in the hallway a little while?

We're not getting anywhere once Geraldine sees her.

- Okay. - Dad, come on.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Mama, what are you singing?

Something I heard in a dream.

Oh, my God. We've seen this.

Mama, we need your help. Will you talk to us?

No, no.

I don't think so. Not a good idea.

Yeah, but we can fix everything. Just-just talk to us.

It's important.

You have to tell us what happened to you,

why you abandoned Ruchel.

I said no!

It's okay, Dad. We'll find a better moment.

You ready to see the closest I got to being Sandy Koufax?

What?

Jacob?

Step away from there, it's dangerous.

What are you doing?

Look, when Dad comes home, I'll tell him

I was playing and broke the TV.

'Cause if he doesn't find out you broke it,

you won't have to go away again, right?

You got a plan for everything, huh?

Jacob,

I know I do things that you don't understand,

but just know that your mama is always there deep down.

I just, I just get a little mixed up.

So, how about I clean this up,

and then we have some ice cream?

She really was my whole world.
