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.
