There you are, my dear.



Thank you.

A toast.

To what?

To you finally
leaving your wife.

You'd like that.

You have no idea.

Oh yeah baby.

You know what to do.

Let me show you.

Damn you, Mr. Frank.

Miss Leanne's a fine woman!

And she deserves
much better than you!

Hi, Daryl.

Oh, oh Miss Leanne.



How are you?

All right, and yourself?

Very good.

I brought you some
fresh squeezed lemonade

and your favorite, tuna melt.

Oh, wow, thank you but,
Miss Leanne, it's not...

It's not my lunch hour.

Daryl, can I ask
you a personal question?

Oh, sure thing.

And you
don't have to answer it,

if you feel uncomfortable
with the question.

You can ask me
just about anything.

You're sorta like family to me,

like a beautiful sister
that I never had.

Frank?

Frank?

You bastard!

We're having a baby.

A baby girl.

You bastard!

You fucking bitch!

You fucking bastard,
we're having a baby!

God - Oh my god, Frank!

Is she dead?

What did I do?

What have I done?

Oh my god!

You saw it, she
came after you!

I stopped her, it
was self-defense!

It was self-defense!
Frank, pull it together!

Jesus Christ!

- Listen to me!
- What?

We need to get
rid of the body.

And how do you
propose we do that?

Huh?

You have the fire pit.

We're gonna cut up the body,

you're gonna burn it
in the fire pit, Frank.

Cut up the body?

Are you fuckin' crazy,
you twisted bitch?

What are you talkin' about?

Do you want to
go to jail Frank?

I'm trying to help you.

You said you were leaving her.

You said we were
going to be together.

Not like this.

You need to do something.

It's gonna be light
before you know it,

and your staff is
going to be here.

Oh man.

We have to do this.

Think of something.

I have an ax in the basement.

Okay, good.

You go get the ax.

I'm gonna drag her
down to the fire pit,

and you start the fire.

Okay.

Okay?

You won't be needing
this any more.

Finally, we can be together.

You're right.

No witnesses.

You won't be needing
this any more...

darling.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

It's just so unusual
for her not to come home

Has she been acting
differently lately?

No.

Her schedule unusual?

I guess so.

You guess so?

You know this is your
wife we're talking about?

How 'bout close friends?

Maybe she spent the
night with somebody?

She has a few girlfriends
but she always comes home.

Excuse me, Frank.

I was curious about this.

It caught my eye.

Can you tell me about that?

We were expecting a girl.

Okay, okay.

Mind if we take a
look around, Frank?

Maybe talk to some
of your staff?

Sure.

The cleaning lady comes on
Fridays, and Daryl is out back.

Daryl?

Yeah, he takes
care of the property,

the pool, a little
bit of everything.

Okay, I'll go
talk to him, but...

Frank, I gotta be
honest with you.

I can't even file a
missing persons report

for, shit, another...

12 hours.

Right, so I just sit
around and wait by the phone.

Sorry Frank, but
it's procedure.

After all I've done
for your department,

you can't expedite
a fucking search?

We're gonna do
everything we can.

Now where's this Daryl again?

Out back.

Okay, Frank.

Just try to think of anything
you can that might help us.

We'll go talk to your guy.

Hey, Daryl?

Oh, yeah?

Got a minute?

We'd like to have a word.

All right.

Just a sec.

Daryl, Detective
Jacobson, this is Samuels.

Pleased to meet you, sir.

Pleased to meet you.

We're from missing persons.

I'd like to have a
few words with you.

Why don't you come on
over and have a seat?

Well, I got work
to tend to, sir.

Just take a minute.

Why don't you have a seat?

Well, if you insist.

We do.

State your name.

My name's Daryl.

Daryl what?

What's your last name?

Daryl Brown, sir.

Daryl Brown.

Yes, sir.

When was the last time
you saw Miss Johnson?

Miss Leanne?

Yes, Miss Leanne.

I'd have to say yesterday.

You'd have to say yesterday?

Yes, sir.

Right out here.

She brought me out some
lemonade and a sandwich.

Seems like a nice lady.

Oh, the nicest of ladies.

Tell me more about your
relationship with Miss Leanne.

Well, I work for the Johnsons.

Miss Leanne is a...

a friend, I would say.

She always talks to me
and treats me kindly.

She brings me lemonade.

So you're saying she
was here yesterday.

She brought your
lemonade and a sandwich.

Yes, sir.

It was yesterday.

You didn't see anything
unusual at all after that time?

This is my card.

If you can remember anything
from that day at all,

I want you to give me a call.

Can you handle that?

Yes, sir.

All right.

Well...

That's just about it.

I mean, for now.

So...

I just wait?

Just for now, Frank.

We're gonna work the case, okay?

Just...

if you can think of
anything, give me a call.

Okay?

Keep me posted.

Will do.

Hey, Frank?

Try not to go anywhere.

I'm sure we'll be
talking again soon.

Samuels...

Jesus.

The hell's wrong with you?

I know, I know, I know I
haven't been out here since...

yesterday morning, but I'm here.

You ain't got to worry.

I ain't gonna leave you dry,

let the termites and
things eat at you.

And no, that is not
how Arnold sounds.

You know better than that.

Arnolds' more of a...

"Get down, get out of there!

"What's wrong with Billy?"

"Get to da chopper!"

Moreso like that.

Now you know that Mr.
Frank used to always say

that I wasn't worth a damn
and my imitations suck.

Well, I never listen to that.

No I didn't.

Detective.

Hey Frank.

Hey.

What brings you out?

Frank, I got some news.

I thought you'd want
to hear it in person.

Sure.

It's hot out.

You want some water?

Yeah, sure.

That'd be great.

Hope I'm not disturbing you.

No, I'm...

I'm in between sessions.

So...

Did you find my wife?

Oh, Frank...

This water tastes funny.

Yeah, it's from the
well, so when it rains...

Sure.

No.

I came to tell you
we're closing the case.

Exhausted all leads.

There's nothing more we can do.

What am I supposed
to do with that?

I'm sorry Frank.

It just seems like
she's vanished.

I'm sorry Frank.

Frank, I'm not gonna give up.

It's a promise.

Thank you, Detective.

Sorry to interrupt.

You know I can't concentrate
when you barge in, Jules.

Yeah I remember, but
you have a phone call.

Can't you take a message?

I think you're gonna
want to take this one.

It's the insurance company
about your wife's claim..

Hm, okay.

Can you reschedule my
2:00 p.m. for the 14th?

Mh-hm.

Line 2.

Can I help you?

Is this Frank Johnson?

Yes.

This is Chance Fisher

with Essence Life Insurance.

Can I verify the
last four digits

of your social security
number, please?

8875.

Great.

We wanted to verify where
you wanted the funds

from your former wife's policy?

I see.

Yes.

It's our policy that after a
certain amount of time lapses

in disappearance cases,
we release the funds

to the surviving spouse.

Would you prefer a hard check

mailed to your home
or your office?

Um...

A direct...

Can you arrange for
a direct deposit?

Of course.

We have that
information on file,

unless your account
information has changed.

No, no, it's the same.

Do you have a...

an amount of the policy?

Yes, sir.

$11 million.

I see.

And when would those
funds be transferred?

We send them out today,

so your bank will
have them by morning.

Very good.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Johnson.

Holy Shit!

Oh my...

Jules!

Yeah?

I want you...

to...

get your bikini...

sell the cat.

Call all my clients.

I'm officially retired, baby.

Oh!

Oh my God!

We're outta here

I'm so happy for you.

Okay, go, go.

Okay, okay.

Yes.

If I had to...

You get right on in there.

Hey, Daryl?

Oh!

Oh, hi, Mr. Frank.

You talking to somebody?

Oh no, I was just singing
and tending to the fireplace.

Well look, I'm gonna be
taking off for a little while.

I'm not gonna be
around for a bit so...

All right.

I won't need you to take
care of the place anymore.

But, sir!

The plants...

the pool...

who's going to look after
'em while you're gone?

Well...

Oh man.

My favorite.

Did you know
that this pine tree

is not relative to the desert,

but yet it's
relative to Arizona,

but usually the higher country

like Pinetop and Flagstaff
or something like that.

Can I ask you a
personal question, Daryl?

And you don't have to answer
it if you don't want to.

Oh sure thing ma'am, you
can ask me almost anything.

You're like my family.

You're sorta like a beautiful
sister that I never had.

You flirting with me Daryl?

Oh no, no ma'am.

I wouldn't do such a thing.

I'm just kidding,
I'm just kidding.

All right.

No, but what's the highest
education that you ever had?

Well, I did
finish high school.

Not at the top of the
class, nothing like that.

Me neither, that
would be my husband.

Have you ever thought
about college?

Oh, no.

No, no, ma'am.

I...

I don't fit in in
any college class.

Oh Daryl, they would love you.

You think?

I do think.

You know what?

What's that, ma'am?

I'm gonna be leaving
for the next three days.

That I know.

I'll take care of the
place while you're gone.

And I do appreciate that.

What do you think about
us, when I get back,

going up north to the
university and checking it out

just to see what the
horticulture program is like?

You think...

You think I could...

I could really fit
in in a college?

Oh Daryl, yes
you would fit in.

Like I said, they
would love you.

Absolutely.

You know, in fact, that's
is what we're gonna do.

When I get back, I promise
you, we're going to go up north

and check out that
university, okay?

Thank you very
much, Miss Leanne.

Please, Mr. Frank.

Yeah, okay.

Why don't you stay on?

But I can only pay you half.

That's not a
problem Mr. Frank.

Frank!

Frank, are you
ready to celebrate?

I'll get back to my workings.

Yeah, Jules,
I'll be right there

All right, all right.

Yeah, get on in there.

Fire up.

You know, I don't think
I properly thanked you.

Well, we should
probably get to that.

Awfully hot today,
I'll tell you that much.

You always come in handy.

I reckon I might just jump
on in and have a swim.

Haven't been in here in a while.

Yeah, that feels good.

Oh.

Feels strange.

Feels like something is
pulling my pants off.

How did I get in this pool?

Where my clothes at?

Babe, you've
got to see this house.

It has an amazing pool.

I've been trying to sell
this listing for over a year.

Might as well enjoy it.

Stan?

This isn't funny.

Stan!

Where the fuck are you?

Stan?

Stan, where are you?

I'm not playing,
I'm gonna leave!

Hey, Samuels, look who it is.

Daryl, right?

How you do, sir?

Funny how we always keep

running into each
other like this.

Well, I do work here, sir.

Another funny thing, you know,

local PD found a car by the
side of the road abandoned.

Can't find the owner.

You wouldn't happen to
know about that would you?

Well, I can't say I do, sir.

Sure.

The owners home?

No, sir.

Last I heard they
were traveling.

They're traveling.

Of course.

So you're trying to tell me

you haven't seen anything
strange happen around here

in the last couple of days.

That what you're saying?

No, sir.

Just me here with the
plants and the pool and...

that about it.

Sounds about right.

Well, it's always a pleasure
talking to you, Daryl.

Same to you, sir.

We gotta stop running
into each other like this.

I guess so, sir.

We'll be in touch, okay?

Okay, sir.

Don't go anywhere.

You take care now.

♪ I can't get no ♪

I don't know about this.

I don't know.

Because its so big.

This is a lot of...

This could be an
unbelievable...

Our own little just
secret spot, yeah?

There you go again.

That's brilliant darling, yes!

It's really nice.

You have a nice book shelf here.

All the furniture comes
with the house, yes.

Fantastic.

Brilliant.

It's a lot of stuff.

So much space darling.

Let me show you this area.

Oh how cute.

I love that little
ball thing there.

That's really nice.

This will be your office

where you can handle all
your business right here.

Fantastic.

Fax machine
there, phones, everything.

All that comes with the house?

All that comes with the house.

That's actually perfect

It's fantastic.

This is
your beautiful kitchen.

Ooh!

Look at this, stainless
steel everything.

New appliances.

You're doing the cooking.

Always do pizza.

This is your laundry room.

I told you I would
take care of it.

I know.

It is a beautiful property.
I'll take care of it

It's nice.

There's a huge
playground area.

Oh, there's a fireplace!

Mr. and Mrs. Yates?

Why don't you guys come inside.

Let me show you the great room.

Come in.

- All the furniture?
- Yeah, all the furniture.

In here you can have your
bar and your party stuff there.

- Put it there.
- Gorgeous.

Nice cabinets.

That's perfect.

That's perfect for you.

All of this comes
with the estate.

This is one of my favorites.

Let me show you something.

This is really gonna
make you smile.

Oh wow.

- Oh!
- You said cars.

You didn't...

You didn't say this.

Yeah, so here's
your next set of cars.

Oh my goodness.

See, Mr. Yates?

You'll have a his and hers cars.

Wouldn't you agee?

Like that, right?

I agree with that totally.

This one's been a bit
big for her actually.

Darling, this seems too
good to be true, honestly.

And there's no catches?

No catches.

You buy the house,
you get everything.

You get it all?

The house, the car, the
pool, the view, the helicopter.

Everything.

So your wife said...

Wait, mate.

Can I?

Yes, sir.

Your wife said you like gadgets.

Yes he does.

You know the
routine, Mr. Yates.

Are you ready?

Want to press it with daddy?

Press the yellow button.

Let's try it again.

Hold it down.

Oh!

You guys, let me
show you this wonderful view.

Oh my goodness.

Darling, can
you get the stroller?

And before you head out
to your miraculous backyard,

look at this view you
have when you wake up

before you even go outside.

The grills come with it?

The grill come with it, sir.

Mr. Yates, I've saved
the best view for last.

Look at this
remarkable scenic view.

Ah, this is fantastic mate.

Let me help you with the baby.

Oh, thank you, thank you.

Dani's flying down!

Dani's a superhero, she is.

Let's take her in the shade.

- It's hot out here.
- Yeah.

Let's get you in
some shade, young lady.

Here sweetie.

Let's block some of
that sun off you.

Darling!

Darling, she's fine.

Come along, take a look at this.

And Mr. Yates, this view
over here is North Scottsdale.

At night its like a light show.

And then if you look over
here this way at night,

you'll see the beautiful
sunset over the mountain.

That's fantastic.

I feel stupid.

I thought she couldn't swim.

She can't swim.

Well they say babies
are natural swimmers

when they come out of the womb,

so you've got something
positive out of all of this.

Let me retrieve my glasses.

What the hell happened to you?

I panicked!

Sorry.

Well Mr. Yates, as I was
saying, back to this beautiful...

Mate.

Mate, mate.

Consider the house sold.

Thank you.

Greg?

Greg, babe, can you come out
here for a minute please?

Darling I'm just in the
middle of a good bit, yeah?

I know, but Mom just got here,
and she's out at the pool.

I need you to go
keep her company.

I'll go finish up
in the kitchen.

When did she get here?

She just got here.

Can you go that for me, please?

Of course.

Tell me, darling, did she
say anything about the house?

She didn't say a word, did she?

No, but listen, she's
only been here five minutes.

She hasn't even
seen the house yet.

Listen.

Everything's gonna
be just fine, yeah?

In fact, everything's
gonna be perfect.

All right.

If you say so.

I do say so.

What's for supper?

I don't know,
what do you want?

Whatever Dani would like.

I'm not
having hot dogs tonight.

Hello, mum.

Hey, honey.

What's this, a new
case or something?

Yeah, it's a good one.

I'll tell you all about it.

But do you know the
history of this place?

I know that someone owned
it before we did and...

I don't know, maybe
the wife ran off

with a friend or husband.

Point is I got it at an estate
sale for a really good price.

Why?

Why?

I get a really uneasy feeling.

That's the same
thing your daughter said.

Yeah, well...

May I make a suggestion?

Of course.

How about we
get the house blessed?

- Mom.
- Anybody...

Anyone...

Anyone of your choosing.

Rabbi, ordained minister,
priest, Buddhist monk,

it doesn't matter,
just something for me

and for my granddaughter.

For you.

Because it's you.

Thank you.

Shit!

Bitch.

Hello, may I speak to
Father Matthews please?

Good day to you as well, Father.

You don't know me, my
name is Greg Yates.

I got your name from Vera Joy.

She said that you might
be able to help us

with a situation at our home.

That would be
wonderful actually.

Well, I know you
are in the city,

we are about 30 minutes out.

Big house in the middle...

Yes, that's the one, in
the middle of the desert.

We did buy it, yes.

That would be fantastic.

Brilliant.

We'll see you then Father.

Thank you so much.

Hold a moment.

Hello.

Please, come in.

Actually, it's not necessary
to remove your shoes.

It's very necessary.

Quite right.

So I'd like to thank
you for making the trek

all the way out here.

Quite a drive.

She's waiting on me.

Beg your pardon?

Oh, yes.

Just in the den.

Darling, meet Father...

Is it Father?

Father Matthew.

Nice to meet you, Father.

Nice to meet you.

There's no disrespect.

There's just quite
a lot going on here.

Catholicism, Protestantism?

Neo-Judaism?

Ba'hai Temple?

I don't know.

Just asking.

All of the above.

Ah, okay.

What can I do for you?

Well, darling maybe...

Well, Father...

It's the house.

We just recently moved in and...

I don't know, just something
is not quite right.

Whispers in the hallways.

Creaking lumber in the ceiling.

No, be serious

Things that go
bump in the night.

Fanciful stories, but good
for the blood I think.

What is it that you feel?

I don't know, I just...

I feel uneasy, like there's
just something not quite right.

I can't explain it.

And do you?

I'll be honest with you, mate.

I don't feel a damn thing.

But...

my wife says she
feels something,

and I would rather her
feel safe in our home, yes?

Stand.

And give me your hands.

It's all right, darling.

Something to drink perhaps?

Coffee, tea?

Or something a bit
stronger perhaps?

Cola.

Cola.

Darling, have we any Cola?

Um...

I believe so.

Right then, I will
take tea, Earl Grey, hot.

Um, Father if you
would come with me,

I will give you the
nickel tour of the home.

This way, if you please.

Here we picked up the house
for quite a lovely price.

Father Matthew?

Bloody hell!

What?

Father Matthews!

Pulse.

Mate!

Father Matthews, wake
up, wake up, wake up!

Come on, come on, man, wake up!

There's a good man.

There, yeah, blink, blink.

Can't have you dying
at my house, mate.

Come on, on your feet, mate.

On your feet mate, on your feet.

Come on, come on,
get up, get up.

Oh, shit, your head!

Man, your head, mate.

Oh my god.

Darling?

Hey babe, what's up?

Hey, my love.

Um, the Father took
a rather nasty spill.

Are you serious?

Is he okay?

Um, he's fine, a bit of blood,

but no he's good, he's good.

Do you think it's best if
he stays the night though?

Yeah, I definitely
want him to stay.

You'd rather have a
holy man in the house?

Don't start that.

Do you need me to
grab some towels

and maybe a toothbrush
or something?

Yes, I was just going to ask

if you could get some
toiletries and what have you

and take them downstairs to him.

Fantastic.

Why are you in your...

bath towel?

I took a shower.

Is that okay?

So does that mean
you're all wet?

No, that means I'm all clean.

No, no!

Can I make you dirty?

No, but look,
can you please have Daryl

check the water again?

What's wrong with
the water this time?

Well it was perfectly
fine in my shower

and then all of a
sudden it went ice cold.

I had to get out.

Don't look at me like that.

Darling, you see, there's
a blue knob and a red knob.

I know the difference.

I'll just shut
up now, shall I?

Thank you.

Could you have him
check the water please?

- Yes, my love.
- Thank you.

Stop looking at me.

Okay.

Greg!

Greg!

Yes, darling, yes!

Get in here!

No, listen.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

It's coming.

Wait, just wait.

Darling, there's
nothing wrong...

No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

You know, I think
you really think

there's something spooky
going on here but there...

I think my mother was right.

- No, darling, it's fine!
- No, no, no, no.

I'll call Daryl
and have him fix it.

See?

It stopped.

Father Matthews?

Would you like a cup of
tea before I go on my walk?

Father Matthews, are you there?

Good morning, darling.

Hey babe.

I'm all sweaty, I'm all sweaty!

I don't care, I don't care.

Get over here.

Did you make Father
Matthews a cup of tea?

No, why would I?

You haven't seen him?

Course not.

You're the first person
I've seen this morning.

Oh babe, you know
that sweet old man

hit his head last night

He's fine.

He's probably just sleeping

No, no, we need
to check on him.

For all we know
he's in there dead.

Stop shoving!

Father Matthews?

Rise and shine, you old gaffer.

Father Matthews?

Father?

Is he not there?

Call the church, darling.

Where are you?

Father Matthews, this is
Greg Yates calling you again.

My wife and I are very
concerned about you.

We didn't find you in the
guest room this morning.

Please, if you
could call us back

at your earliest convenience.

Just let us know that
you're all right.

Sure is hot out here today.

Yeah, it is.

You want some lemonade, Daryl?

Oh yes, I'd would
be much obliged, ma'am.

Now, do you like a lot of
ice or just a little bit?

Oh, lots of ice,
much as you can spare.

It's hot.

Oh, by the way, that plumbing,
how's it coming along?

Uh...

It's...

Well I'll get right
on it, I'm sorry.

I'll get right on it.

I've been trying to fix it.
I know you been trying,

Daryl, but we still
having a few kinks.

All righty.

What's that?

This here's the
catch for the pool.

No, no, no, what's this?

Some sort of necklace
you may have lost.

No, these are Father
Matthews' rosary beads.

Well, how did it
get in the pool?

I don't know.

You didn't happen to see him
out here swimming, did you?

No, I didn't even know
the Father was here.

Hmm.

That's strange.

I'd say.

I'll be back, Daryl.

All right then.

I'll get on that plumbing.

Chinese food!

Whoa, bruv, you are brave
for wearing that, mate.

$32.15, man.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Here, here you go, mate.

You brave for
stayin' here, brah.

What do you
mean by brave, mate?

Look it up!

Honey, did you ever
call the priest again?

Actually I did.

I've left him about
two voice messages,

but hasn't called me back yet.

Thank you, darling.

Maybe he just wants us to leave
a donation for the church.

Really, that
wouldn't be a bad idea.

You know, we found his rosaries

over out at the
pool, in the filter.

Can you pass me some?

How did those wind up there?

I don't know, it's
the strangest thing.

Maybe he went for a swim.

Doesn't make any sense.

Darling, can you
get me some wine?

It didn't, but I'm telling
you, it was really weird

because that was the only sign
of him ever even being here.

The realtor.

Did he ever say anything
to you about the house?

Like what?

I don't know, anything
that would stand out to you.

Um, not really.

I mean the only thing I knew
about the previous owner

was one of them was a...

I think it was the husband, he
was a world renowned doctor.

What sort of a doctor?

I think it was some
sort of a shrink.

I'm not sure though.

Hm.

Why, what's up?

Just...

The delivery guy, he...

I don't think he was comfortable
delivering to the house.

- What did he say?
- He sort of showed up.

Dropped the bag off and bolted.

Okay, now that's odd.

He just seemed
really uncomfortable.

See, I told you that
there was something

going on with this house.

There's nothing
wrong with the house.

Mm-hm.

It's a lovely house.

It's not our fault if
some crack pot doctor

can't keep his wife from
swimmin' off with some other man.

Oh, so that's what's happened?

That's precisely
what happened.

See, I'm a man who knows
how to please his woman.

Is that right?

That's precisely right.

In fact...

Mm-hm?

I think we should try to
put another baby in you.

Oh god!

Don't do that, don't do that.

How's your food?

It's good.

You know I love Chinese food.

I do know your love
Chinese food, and I love you,

so I think once
we're done eating,

we should break in a couple
of the rooms in the house.

You're so bad.

You have no idea.

Come here.

Get this box out of the way.

So much clothing!

Yes!

Uh, Mr. and Mrs. Yates?

How do you like
your hedges trimmed?

I don't know.

Darling, do you like your
bush square or round?

Let's take a look...

Get rid of him.

Round is fine, Daryl.

Well all right.

Actually, actually, if you
could go to the other side

of the property and start
there, that would be brilliant.

Away from this
area would be nice.

That's fine by me.

You are getting
blinds on these windows.

Whatever you want, darling.

Now where were we?

Can I help you?

Greg Yates?

Yeah, that's me.

Detective Jacobson,
Missing Persons.

Mind if I ask you
a few questions?

I'm sorry, come in Detective.

Come in, come in.

Nice place you have here.

How long you lived here?

Thanks, thanks.

We haven't been here but
maybe a week or two, if that.

Do you know a Father Matthews?

Yeah, yeah, good guy.

Our sources tell me that

you and your wife were the
last people to see him.

I can't say we were the
last people to see him.

He was here about a week ago..

So when did he leave?

I can't really say to be sure.

We had him over
to bless the home.

Like I said, we just bought it.

So he came over,
had a cup of tea,

gave him a tour of the
house, walked about a bit.

You know, he did have
a bit of an injury.

Really?

What kind of injury?

Well he slipped and fell on
a bit of a puddle of water.

Cracked his noggin a bit.

So we insisted that he stay.

I mean, safety
first and all that.

So he didn't leave on Tuesday.

He probably left
on Wednesday then.

I can't say that.

You can't say that?

Listen, Detective, when
we got up in the morning,

my wife went and checked on him.

He wasn't in the room.

Toiletries we gave
him weren't used.

The bed was barely slept in.

You didn't find
that a bit odd?

Oh, no, completely strange.

But he is a Father, right?

So we figured maybe he
had mass in the morning.

Probably finished blessing
the home and went after that.

So, did he leave the door
unlocked after he left?

I can't say.

When I came down to check
the door, it was locked,

but my wife could
have locked it,

my daughter could
have locked it.

It's a bit strange.

But you know, we don't even file

a missing person's report
until after 24 hours.

Father Matthews has been
gone now for almost a week.

You wouldn't mind if I
looked around now, would you?

He's been gone for a week?

That's what I said.

Would you mind if I look around?

No, no, no, by
all means, please.

If I can get ahold of
your business card?

Certainly.

If I can remember anything.

I'll can give my wife a call

and we can see if she
remembers anything.

You may want to ask our
groundskeeper some questions.

He's up all times of night.

Really?

Yeah, maybe he saw something.

Now, what's his name?

Daryl, big guy, can't
miss him, like a oak tree.

Really?

How long has he worked for you?

Well, we've only had the
place for about a week or so.

He came with the house,
sort of like an amenity.

Oh yeah.

I'll just go talk to him
then if you don't mind.

Yeah, yeah, no problem.

He's just out on the deck there.

♪ I can't get no ♪

Daryl, Daryl, Daryl.

Detective Jacobson, right?

That's right.

I'm getting kind of tired
running into you like this.

I can't say I'm happy
to see you either, sir.

Is that right?

You know, people keep coming
up missing around here,

and you're still around.

Why do you think that is, Daryl?

Well, I don't
think anything, sir.

I tends to my
business around here,

and peoples' comings and
goings are none of my concern.

Is that right?

Yes, sir.

How 'bout that priest
that was here last week.

Did you get to meet him?

Well, no, sir.

I know nothing of no priest.

Of course you don't.

What was I thinking?

I don't know what
to tell you, sir.

Don't know what to tell me.

You know, it's funny, Daryl.

You never know what to tell me.

Are you telling me that
you've never noticed

anything that's gone
on at this house?

Sir, lower your tone please.

I know what I know.

I know the trees,
the plants, the pool.

That all.

That's funny.

I know what I know too.

And I know that you're
hiding something from me.

Aren't you, big boy?

Sir, I don't take too kindly
to one touching my persons.

You can understand that, right?

You can understand I
don't take too kindly

to people lying to me.

I would never lie to you, sir.

I have nothing to lie for.

Is that a fact?

Yes, sir.

So you've seen nothing here

that you want to tell
me about right now?

I have seen
nothing at all, sir.

You did say something about
a priest coming here, right?

Yeah, I did, Daryl.

I would suppose that
a priest would have

rosary beads, right?

Yeah, priests
have rosary beads.

Well, some rosary beads
were found out back.

Out back where?

Well, in the pool.

So you found some
rosary beads in the pool?

Well, no, no, no,
I didn't, but Miss...

I think maybe you ought to
talk to Mrs. Yates about this.

No, no, Daryl, I'm
talking to you right now.

Like I said, the goings on
around here is not my business.

So Mrs. Yates can point
you in the right direction.

He said that the farther's
been missing for a week.

What do you mean
missing for a week?

He's been missing for a week.

Since he was at our place?

Excuse me

Officer.

Hey, I just finished
talking to your groundskeeper.

Daryl, right?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

He mentioned,
Miss Yates, that...

you found some rosary
beads in the pool.

Is that right?

Did I find the rosary beads?

Pardon me, but...

Miss Yates, Mr. Yates...

I don't mean to be rude but...

detective I have never told you

that Mrs. Yates found
some rosary beads.

I did say...

rosary beads were found,
but I never said by whom.

And quite personally, sir,

what goes on on these grounds
are the Yates' business.

Good man, Daryl.

Thank you, sir.

Loyalty is hard to come by.

I'm doubling your pay.

Well, thank you, sir.

I sure could use
some extra money,

with mama's health
care getting so costly.

It'll come in handy.

Consider it done.

Much obliged, sir.

Miss. Yates, I'd like to see

those beads please.
Excuse me, officer.

I don't like your tone.

I'm sorry.

You should be.

You've come into my house.

We've been nothing but helpful.

Do not take that
tone with my wife.

Or with Daryl, for that matter.

Sure, absolutely.

Miss Yates?

Yes.

Please, can I see the beads?

Darling?

What beads?

Babe, remember the
beads I told you about?

That Daryl found
out at the pool.

The one I told you that
the priest was wearing.

- The father's rosary?
- Yes.

We have them.

Okay.

Give me a minute.

Remember, the beads?

Those beads?

Yes, these beads

May I take those?

Sure.

Thank you.

Now that's what I need.

If there's anything else
we can assist you with,

please don't hesitate
to ask, officer.

It's Detective.

- Apologies.
- Good day, Yates.

You can see yourself
out, I'm sure.

You know what?

I think we're almost there.

Yeah, I like what
you just gave me there

with the theater and all that.

Yeah, that's nice.

Yeah, I think its
finally coming together.

Yeah, I think that works.

Oh, hey!

I forgot to tell you,

I have a family
reunion next weekend.

You and the last
minute changes, mate!

Hey, happy wife, happy life.

So I am not going to be here,

which leaves you and
Missy to do it all.

Well it's not a problem.

You go and enjoy your
family time, yeah?

Fine with me.

Then that will
give Missy and I

a little bit of time to...

see things from a
different perspective.

That works.

I'm looking forward to it.

So let's get this wrapped up

for the rest of the night.

All right.

And...

So then we're on 52.

152, and I love that
movie theater scene,

the shooting, the theater,
I love that, mate.

It works, but I think we
need a little bit more...

I mean, I remember a
sort of show like that

but I like the idea
of vampire strippers.

You know, they come
in, they don't come up.

But I think that's been done
with Tales from the Crypt

Bordello of Blood, hasn't it?

Diagon Alley!

We're at the fuckin...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, a
whole rows of vampires.

This is only
geared toward men.

No women...

No, no, no, no!

Werewolves!

Werewolves are for women.

Sexy werewolves!

Dani?

I had a good day.

You didn't, why?

Oh, 'cause you're always
trapped in the water.

You can barely even get out.

Dani?

Darling?

Who are you speaking to?

My friend.

What friend?

She's right there.

You have a friend
in the water.

Yeah.

How long have you had
a friend in the water?

Since I fell in.

You remember that?

Yeah.

Would you ever forget if
someone saved your life?

No darling, I don't
suppose I would.

Hey, how ya doin'
down there, ah?

You all right?

Okay.

Ha ha ha!

Yeah!

My nigga.

That's how we doin' it?

All right.

All right, you little ants,
you wanna run around here, ah?

I know Mr. Frank, he don't
know what he talking about,

'cause I think I'm pretty good.

What kind of varmints in there?

Think I got a snake hole, here.

Ha, ha, ha.

Yeah, you got a
snake hole all right.

All right, uh-huh.

You better fill it!

Mr. Yates sure do know
how to roll in style.

That's why I keep it clean.

This is like a car that
Jay Z and them be driving.

Yeah!

Marcy Projects!

It's the rock!

Rockefeller's forever!

I'm pretty damn good.

I bet I can swing
higher than you.

Yes I can!

Sweetheart?

Yeah?

Who you speaking with?

My friend.

Your friend?

Yeah, my friend.

Oh, kids these days.

Dani, you come on now.

Run along, mama's calling.

Okay.

Yes.

Yes!

Honey!

Half a moment, darling.

- Darling.
- Hey babe.

Come on.

So, what's up?

I am going out
for some errands.

What sort of errands?

Well, I have a few
things I need to do.

Okay.

Hey Missy!

Hey Steph.

Come look, can you
call the plumber?

The water is still out.

Daryl fixed it.

No he didn't.

Nice guy, but the water
still on the outs.

The hot water's cold,
the cold water is hot.

Half the time I can't
get it to turn on.

Please call someone today.
Whatever you like.

Whatever you like.

All right, you go
handle your business,

and we will be here writing.

A few hours maybe.

Can't wait for you
to read this one.

Really?

It's that good?

It is that good.

Well, you guys keep working.

I'll see you in a bit

Yes, ma'am.

Love you, darling.

You know we're not done yet?

Aren't we?

Not even close.

Fantastic working with you.

We'll see you tomorrow.

- See ya Steph.
- Bye Missy.

Hello Love.

Hey!

How was your day?

Oh, it was fantastic.

Yeah?

Did you guys get a lot done?

So much work done.

All right, pork
chops for dinner.

Darling, again?

What's wrong with pork chops?

If you don't want that,
then what do you want?

Get over here.

Oh my God.

You are so freaky.

You know it.

Ew!

Hi Mom, Hi Dad!

Hi baby!

Hello darling.

Take your backpack off.

How was school today?

It was cool.

We got to play with
frogs in science today.

Did you get to dissect them?

Ew, Dad, that's gross!

I agree, I agree.

But look, take these little
grubby hands downstairs,

wash them, and I'll call you
up with it's time for dinner.

Hey, hey.

Oy!

Don't forget your backpack.

Sorry.

You want a snack, Dani?

Yes, Mom.

Okay, I'll be down
in a little bit.

Good morning, darling.

Good morning.

You were brilliant last night.

If that were the case,

then where were you
when I rolled over?

You weren't in bed.

Going to the loo.

What are you doing?

So much scotch.

Oh my goodness!

Question;

Yes?

Did you spill on the rug
last night outside the door?

No.

Why?

Big puddle of water.

Well I mean, I did water
the big plant out there.

It could be from that.

No, it's more than that.

Hmm.

I did get out of bed though.

Yeah, I know.

Were you up working?

Had some new thoughts
about the new script

so I decided to go
for a walkabout.

I went to the back door,
I actually thought I heard voices.

I went to the back door to
the deck and it was open.

Did you leave it open?

No.

Remember, you were the
last one to come in.

You got Dani from out...

Yeah, yeah, that's right,
that's right, that's right.

The strangest thing happened.

One of the pool balls smashed
me in the back of the head.

Come on now.

It was so strange.

It was almost like,
I hate to say it,

like it was haunted
or something.

See?

Now you're on the
same page as me!

- I told...
- But

No, no I told you.

The ball just bounced
out of nowhere

and hit you on the
back of the head?

There are no such
things as ghosts.

Maybe the neighbors'
children were,

I don't know, messing about
or something like that.

The nearest house
is a mile away.

What do you mean?

Well, I prefer
logical explanations

to spooks and specters, yeah?

Mm-hm.

Pancakes?

Yeah.

We can get started.

The next thing we need to
do is solidify a director.

So what's this
$11 million gonna cost me?

You know what I want.

You're not my Mommy,
you're not my Mommy,

you're not my Mommy!

You're not my mommy,
you're not my mommy!

Daddy, I'm tired.

Oh daring, oh darling.

- What's happening?
- Is she okay?

What's going on?

Just a bad dream, I think.

She'll be fine.

Everyone, I'm so very sorry.

This one here needs some
daddy-daughter time,

so I'm going to put her to bed.

And if I'm correct, we've
secured our funding, doctor?

So we will...

begin shortly.

My wife will farewell you all.

Goodnight.

Feel better, baby.

Thanks for coming.

Good night.

It's okay, Steph.

It's gonna be okay.

I don't now, Becky.

I don't know what to do anymore.

She's been up all night.

She's having nightmares.

Greg, he doesn't
know what to do.

We're just lost.

I've tried everything.

What can I do?

Tell me.

You know I'll do anything.

I don't think there is
anything that can be done.

I'm lost.

I don't know.

I'm glad I have her.

I love her. I just...

I don't know.

It's okay to break
down like this.

You have been the
strong one all your life

as far as I remember.

It's okay, I'm here.

I'll do whatever it
takes, you know that.

And listen to me.

Something you need to
know is the admiration

and respect that I have for
you, for what you've done,

adopting that
beautiful little girl.

It's incredible.

I don't know.

You and I were both adopted.

We know what that life is like.

Trust that I'm here for you.

- Thank you.
- I love you.

I love you too, Becky.

Is she okay?

Yeah, she's...

She's fine, she's
sleeping, finally.

I'm worried about her.

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

Maybe we adopted
the wrong child.

Maybe you married
the wrong woman!

Try the couch!

Good evening, doctor.

The check, as you requested.

And an extra million
for our trip.

Venice, July.

Can't wait.

Mr. Yates.

Mind the car, Detective.

Of course.

I've got a few
questions to ask you.

Concerning?

Mr. Levin.

Am I under arrest, Detective?

It would be in your best
interest to come with me.

Now, we can do this
one of two ways.

Considering the circumstances,

I can see why it would be
in my best interest to come.

Am I joining you in your
vehicle or can I take mine?

You can take yours.

Thank you, Detective.

Lead the way.

So we have this
evening to ourselves.

You have no idea how
excited I am about that.

I would like to
teach you something

that you maybe have never
heard of called paper dolls.

By the way, being good
is just being you, okay?

There's no such thing as good.

So what do you feel like doing?

Hmm.

I want to go out to the pool
and play with my friend.

Your friend?

What friend?

Don't you have friends?

A lot of my friends
have passed away,

but I got a few left.

I was murdered.

Dani?

What are you talking
about, sweetie?

What are you talking about?

Grandma, I'm tired.

You know...

One of us has to go.

What in the world?

How did I get here?

Sleeping on the job I guess.

Getting old.

Back to work.

You're gonna die!

Darling?

Oh yes, that's a good girl.

Good girl, good girl.

Give daddy the knife,
give daddy the knife.

Daddy, I'm tired.

Oh yes.

Daddy's gonna take
you to bed, love.

Come on.

Okay.

What the hell?

God.

Help!

Let me out!

God I loved her!

Oh God forgive me, I loved her!

Missy's dead.

Missy's dead.

Told you Daddy
she was gonna die.

Dani.

Why would say that to Daddy?

Why would say that to Daddy?

Go to your room.

Go to your room!

Bastard!

Half a moment!

Half a bloody moment!

Detective.

Please.

Please come in.

Sounds like I was disturbing
something there, Mr. Yates.

No, no...

Yeah.

I knocked over the drum there.

Not as concerned
about that as I am

about the dead body
in your driveway.

What can you tell me about that?

Missy left the other evening

after we had a writing session.

A writing session, huh?

Yes.

How good of a friend was she?

She was...

She was one of my best friends.

Oh yeah.

I'm sure she was, Greg.

I will not stand here

and be berated by
you in my house!

Don't leave town.

Where's my Stephanie?

I want my Stephanie.

Stephanie!

Steph!

It's all your fault!

Thank you.

I'm glad he's gone.

Gregory?

Oh hi, baby.

You seen your Daddy?

Daddy's gone.

What do you mean Daddy's gone?

He won't hurt us
anymore, I promise.

Will you do my a favor then?

Mm-hm.

As soon as Greg gets here,
can you come up and wake me?

Yeah, or course.

Thanks Mom.

Hey baby.

He's not coming back.

He loved her like
he loved Mommy.

Sweetie, why don't
you go upstairs,

change your school clothes,

and wait for me,
I'll be right up,

and fix your hair like
the way you love it, okay?

He had an affair in my house.

He screwed that bitch
in my house, Mom.

Our home.

I'm pissed but...

- Honey, I feel really...
- I'm pissed.

I know, I understand.

I feel really terrible for you.

You need to get some rest and
please let me deal with this.

We're gonna figure this out.

We're gonna figure
it out together.

I'm tired.

- I'm tired, mom.
- I know.

I know.

That's what I'm saying.

I know you are.

Okay

Come on, sweetie.

Thank you for coming.

I love you Mommy.

I love you too sweetie.

Can you please get
Dani something to eat?

I haven't had time
to do anything.

I'm freakin' exhausted.

Mom.

Thanks for adopting me.

Oh god.

Are you kidding me?

Oh my god.

Dani?

Honey?

Dani?

Dani, I have something for you.

I have some food.

Sweetie?

Dani?

Dani, I met your friend.

I know.
