Second woman: HI, AMY LEE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I HAVE A NEW COLORING BOOK.

I SHOULD GET MORE TOYS OUT THERE.

NO, NO, NO, SHE'S USUALLY OKAY TO BE LEFT ALONE.

I'M A BIT WORRIED ABOUT THE BOTTLES.

MAYBE WE SHOULD TAKE A BREAK, HUH?

I DON'T WANT TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION

THROUGH THE DOOR.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

NOTHING.

OF COURSE. SINCE YOU'RE DOING NOTHING,

I WANT YOU TO DO ME A FAVOR.

I'M WITH SOMEONE-- MRS. MILLER.

MY MRS. MILLER?

YES.

WHAT'S SHE DOING HERE?

SHE'S A CLIENT.

SHE'S MY ENGLISH TEACHER.

WAS.

SHE WAS YOUR ENGLISH TEACHER.

YOU DON'T HAVE TEACHERS ANYMORE.

CAN WE NOT TALK ABOUT THIS AGAIN?

( uptempo Latin music plays )

Man: SMELLED LIKE A FRENCH WHOREHOUSE WHEN I GOT THERE.

SMELLS LIKE THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING NOW.

NO, JUST THE USUAL-- DIRTY MAGAZINES, UNPAID BILLS,

A BARRELFUL OF AMPHETAMINES. LAWYERS ARE ALL THE SAME.

OH, SOUNDS LIKE ANOTHER CALL. COULD IT BE LONG DISTANCE?

HOPE HE'S NOT STILL CALLING COLLECT.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL SEE YOU AT THE CAFE.

Ciao.

SEE YOU.

( beeping )

YES?

SI.

HOW ARE YOU?

UH, BENE. GRAZIE.

I MISS YOU, TOO.

SI, SI.

SI.

NO.

CHE?

QUANTO? I MEAN QUANDO?

WHAT'S THAT? ( static )

LOOK, ROBERTO, I CAN'T HEAR YOU.

VENIRE... HERE?

SI, SI. NO, UH--

ROBERTO, NO, WAIT--

ATTENZIONE, ATTEN--

( dial tone )

SHIT.

Mrs. Miller: HI, RACHEL.

OKAY.

( conversation indistinct )

( knock on door )

( knocking )

YOUR APPOINTMENT'S HERE.

DR. JACOB?

OH. UM...

( ringing bell )

HI.

HI.

WHO'S THIS?

OH, HI.

YOU DON'T REMEMBER ME, DO YOU?

I MADE A CAKE FOR YOUR LAST BIRTHDAY.

REMEMBER?

LOOKED LIKE A BIG SPACESHIP?

TWO CANDLES, RIGHT?

OH, BIG GIRL.

WHERE'S YOUR MOMMY?

SHE'S UPSTAIRS WITH MY MOTHER.

OH.

COME ON.

WILL YOU LOOK AT THE LIGHT?

JUST LOOK AT THE LETTER "E" BEHIND ME.

( indistinct )

( footsteps approaching )

NEW CAR?

OH, GOD.

BM-- GERMAN?

MERCEDES.

I HATE IT WHEN YOU DO THIS.

THE NOSE KNOWS.

YOUR MOTHER BOUGHT A MERCEDES?

CAN WE DROP THIS, PLEASE?

ARE YOU READY?

WHAT?

HE'S COMING. TONIGHT.

CALLED FROM THE PLANE.

DON'T-- DON'T START.

IT'S NOT LIKE I TOLD HIM TO COME.

I THOUGHT WE WERE STILL ON THE PHONE STAGE.

HE'S GONNA FUCK YOU SILLY,

THEN YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO MAKE A RATIONAL DECISION

ABOUT WHAT TO DO WITH HIM.

I'VE ALREADY DECIDED. I WON'T SLEEP WITH HIM.

I'LL PUT HIM ON THE COUCH.

THERE WILL BE NO SEX.

HOW DO YOU KNOW HE'S NOT A HUSTLER?

I DON'T BELIEVE THIS.

THE ONLY PERSON

YOU CAN IMAGINE BEING INTERESTED IN ME

IS SOMEONE I HAVE TO PAY?

I DIDN'T SAY THAT.

THERE ARE THESE PEOPLE.

THAT'S WHAT THEY DO.

THEY SUCKER IN SOME POOR, UNSUSPECTING WOMAN--

THAT WOULD BE ME, I SUPPOSE.

THEY BRING THEIR GIRLFRIENDS OVER HERE,

GET THEIR WORKING PAPERS, AND TAKE A POWDER.

IT'S THE OLDEST SCAM IN THE BOOK.

I SAW IT ON TELEVISION.

HOW DOES HE SMELL?

IF HE LOVES YOU,

YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO SMELL IT.

WHAT DOES LOVE SMELL LIKE, ROBERT?

WELL, IT'S KINDA HARD TO DESCRIBE.

IT'S JUST-- YOU KNOW--

WELL, DID HE SAY HE LOVES YOU?

ON THE FIRST DATE.

DOES HE HAVE A RETURN TICKET?

NO--!

NEVER FALL IN LOVE...

WITH SOMEONE WHO LIVES MORE THAN A BUS RIDE AWAY,

OR WHO'S UNDER 30, OR WHO YOU MEET ON HOLIDAY.

I KNOW, I KNOW.

AND WHAT ELSE HAVE I TAUGHT YOU?

NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE

WHO'S NEVER BEEN IN LOVE...

NEVER WITH SOMEONE WHO'S NEVER BEEN DUMPED,

OR DRINKS TOO MUCH...

OR DOESN'T DRINK AT ALL-- SO SELF-RIGHTEOUS--

OR LIES,

OR CRIES TOO MUCH.

JACK, EX-MARINE, WAS A NIGHTMARE.

NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE WHO'S TOO GOOD-LOOKING.

THAT'S NEW. WHY?

BECAUSE YOU LOOK LIKE SHIT NEXT TO THEM.

I HAVE A NEW ONE:

NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE

WHO WON'T LET YOU GO DOWN ON THEM.

WHAT'S THAT?

I DON'T KNOW. BEATS ME.

NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE

WHO'S LOUSY IN BED. PERIOD.

NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE WHO'S TOO GOOD IN BED.

THAT'S THE BEST THING ABOUT HIM.

WELL, IT SHOULD MAKE YOU VERY SUSPICIOUS.

SO WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE ME?

HONEY,

YOU DON'T EVEN SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE.

Mrs. Miller, drowsily: MMM, THAT'S SO GOOD.

SORRY?

WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING, IT'S REALLY GREAT.

HOW'S RACHEL DOING?

FINE. WELL...

I DON'T KNOW REALLY.

SHE IS A REALLY SMART KID.

SHE'LL SURVIVE WHATEVER SHE'S GOING THROUGH.

SHE'LL SURVIVE...

BUT WILL I?

( child humming )

( twig snaps )

CALL ME IF YOU WANNA SEE MORE STUFF.

I KNOW SOMETHING GOOD.

WHY DO YOU HAVE A KEY?

I'VE BEEN WORKING FOR THEM FOR OVER A YEAR.

CAREFUL, IT HASN'T HARDENED YET.

- WHERE'S THE KITCHEN? - STRAIGHT THROUGH.

HEY...

WHAT?

THIS IS NICER THAN THE CAKE YOU MADE FOR MY BIRTHDAY.

I WASN'T BEING PAID

TO MAKE A CAKE FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY.

IS THIS THEM?

YEAH.

VERY ATTRACTIVE.

HOW COME YOU NEVER MENTIONED THEM BEFORE?

I DON'T KNOW. THEY'RE JUST CLIENTS.

HE'S PRETTY CUTE.

I'VE ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE

TO DO WHAT YOU DO.

- WE SHOULD GO. - HOLD ON.

WE SHOULD GO.

YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME.

NICE.

SHE DESIGNS FRAGRANCES.

WHAT ABOUT HIM?

HE'S IN ADVERTISING. WHAT ABOUT HIM?

HE'S CUTE.

YOU SAID THAT ALREADY.

YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON HIM.

DON'T YOU HAVE AN ITALIAN TO PICK UP

AT THE AIRPORT?

IT'S PRETTY MUCH WHAT WE EXPECTED.

IT'S GETTING WORSE.

SOMETIMES SOUNDS DRIFT IN AND OUT.

SOMETIMES I DON'T HEAR ANYTHING.

MM-HMM.

SHOULD I GIVE AWAY MY OPERA TICKETS?

RICHARD...

GETTING SEASON'S TICKETS

WAS ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS I DID

WHEN I MOVED HERE.

SEVENTH ROW, LEFT AISLE.

I'VE SAT IN THE SAME SEAT NEXT TO THE SAME PEOPLE

EVERY YEAR FOR EIGHT YEARS.

SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I KNOW THEM

BETTER THAN ANYONE.

HEY.

WHERE'S AMY LEE?

I DON'T KNOW.

I CAN'T FIND HER.

I JUST TURNED AROUND FOR A SECOND AND--

( ringing insistently )

OH, I THOUGHT I HEARD YOU COME IN.

IS SOMETHING WRONG?

RACHEL?

AMY!

AMY LEE!

AMY!

Ruth: NO, IT JUST HAPPENED ABOUT HALF AN HOUR AGO.

HER MOTHER'S IN THE PARK LOOKING FOR HER.

THAT'S RIGHT.

YES.

WE'LL MEET YOU AT-- AT THE GATES.

THANK YOU.

THE POLICE WILL BE HERE IN A MINUTE.

WE BETTER GO HELP LOOK FOR HER.

WHAT ON EARTH WERE YOU THINKING?

WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?

( buzzing )

( surf pounding )

( seagulls calling )

( bell clangs )

( bell clanging )

( surf roars )

( silence )

CANCEL ALL OF TODAY'S APPOINTMENTS,

AND FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.

I'LL PAY YOU FOR THE TIME, BUT DON'T BOTHER COMING IN.

THERE ARE THINGS I HAVE TO DO.

( siren approaching )

I WAS REALLY SURPRISED TO HEAR FROM YOU.

WELL, IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME.

SO...

HOW ARE THINGS?

OH, YOU KNOW. LIFE IN THE FAST LANE.

THAT'S A NICE WATCH.

YEAH. I JUST GOT IT.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

WELL... ACTUALLY,

A LITTLE UP AND DOWN.

NO, I MEAN...

I MEAN, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

OH, GREAT.

IF THERE'S SOMETHING YOU WANNA TELL ME,

IF YOU NEED TO-- IF YOU WANT--

I JUST WANTED TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

IS THAT SO HARD TO BELIEVE?

NO, I JUST...

LOOK, I'M NOT SICK.

YOU'RE SAFE, OKAY? AT LEAST FROM ME.

THANKS FOR YOUR CONCERN.

I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T MEAN TO...

UHH...

SO HOW'S THE CLEANING BUSINESS?

( siren approaching )

EXCUSE ME.

I'M SUPPOSED TO MEET SOMEONE HERE,

AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO FIND THEM.

WE CAN PAGE THEM FOR YOU.

WHERE ARE THEY ARRIVING FROM?

MILAN.

AIR ITALIA FLIGHT 309.

OH.

THAT FLIGHT WON'T BE HERE FOR ANOTHER...

THREE HOURS.

WHAT?

OVERBOOKED RUNWAYS. IT HAPPENS.

FUCK!

SORRY.

Newscaster: ...a three year old earlier this afternoon.

A search of the area is continuing,

but the investigation is now expected to broaden.

Two witnesses have come forward

saying that they saw a man dragging a young girl

matching Amy Lee Miller's description

out of the park around the time of the disappearance.

HI, MOM?

NO, IT'S DELAYED.

THREE HOURS.

NO, I'M FINE.

I SOUND TENSE BECAUSE YOU'RE MAKING ME TENSE.

WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?

THE POLICE WANTED TO TALK TO YOU.

IN CASE YOU'RE INTERESTED,

THEY DID NOT FIND HER.

THEY'VE BEEN SCOURING THE NEIGHBORHOOD ALL NIGHT.

SOMEONE THINKS THEY SAW HER BEING PICKED UP BY A MAN.

RACHEL...

WHAT HAPPENED?

I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY TO YOU.

( voices speaking French )

THANKS.

SO, ARE YOU SEEING ANYBODY?

I'VE BEEN SEEING A FEW PEOPLE.

QUITE A FEW, ACTUALLY.

MAINLY FROM THE GYM, BUT, UM...

I FIND THE GUYS I MEET IN THE GYM

ARE ALL REALLY GOOD-LOOKING,

AND THE SEX WITH THEM IS GREAT AND EVERYTHING,

BUT...

I KEEP THINKING ABOUT YOU BECAUSE...

WELL...

I LIKE THE FACT THAT OUR RELATIONSHIP

REALLY WASN'T ABOUT SEX AT ALL.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

WELL...

I THOUGHT THE SEX WAS PRETTY GOOD, ACTUALLY.

REALLY?

OR... NOT.

WHAT'S THAT...

COLOGNE YOU'RE WEARING?

DO YOU LIKE IT?

UH... SURE. IT'S JUST...

YOU KNOW, THE THING ABOUT COLOGNE IS

YOU CAN'T TELL WHAT A PERSON

REALLY SMELLS LIKE.

WELL...

IT SWEATS RIGHT OFF.

OH.

( man and woman approach laughing, speaking Italian )

AMORE, CIAO.

E SIMPATICA.

UH-HUH.

( speaking Italian )

I JUST TOLD ROBERTO I MUST GO NOW,

...BUT IT WAS VERY NICE TO MEET YOU.

TAKE CARE.

CIAO, BELLO.

AMORE...

( speaking Italian )

( airliner flies overhead )

( rumbling, whining, thumping )

I...

ran out to the park thinking, you know,

that she...

that she would just be there...

( crying )

SHE WANTS TO TALK TO YOU NOW.

IT'S MY FAULT.

I LEFT HER ALONE. I DIDN'T...

IT WASN'T FOR VERY LONG, BUT I LEFT HER ALONE.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO HER IS MY FAULT.

DOESN'T REALLY MATTER WHOSE FAULT IT IS RIGHT NOW.

WE JUST HAVE TO TRY AND FIND HER.

HEY...

SHE'S RIGHT, YOU KNOW.

ABOUT WHAT?

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHOSE FAULT IT WAS.

I DON'T BLAME YOU.

IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO THAT LITTLE GIRL,

YOU WILL.

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL.

NO, YOU DON'T!

YOU THINK I'M A FREAK!

I CAN TELL WHEN YOU LOOK AT ME.

I'M GONNA GO

TO ANNA MILLER'S HOUSE THIS AFTERNOON.

I THINK YOU SHOULD COME WITH ME.

I CAN'T. I'M WORKING WITH THE OLD PEOPLE.

I THINK YOU SHOULD COME WITH ME.

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK

THAT SHE WOULD WANT TO SEE ME?

Newscaster: One day after the disappearance

of Amy Lee Miller, there are still no clues

as to her whereabouts.

Anna Miller spent the morning with the police

on efforts to coordinate a citywide search.

the mother of the three year old,

speaking at a press conference earlier this morning,

asked the public to come forward

with any information.

AMORE...

( speaking Italian )

SI.

( continuing in Italian )

...OKAY?

( speaking Italian )

UH, NO, NO. NOT NOW.

AMORE... SI.

IT'S GOOD.

BUONO, EH?

YOU'RE NOT JUST MILKING ME

TO STAY IN THE COUNTRY, ARE YOU?

'CAUSE IF YOU ARE, THAT WOULD BE REALLY SHITTY.

I HAVE TO WORK. LABORO.

LABORO, LABORO. SIEMPRE LABORO.

THEY DON'T HAVE TO TA--

( haltingly ) SAPORE NON IMPORTANTE.

THEY JUST HAVE TO LOOK GOOD.

NO.

SAPORE MOLTO IMPORTANTE.

( speaking Italian )

NON E UNA SCULTURA.

E UN DOLCE, DESSERT.

( singing within )

EXCUSE ME?

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

DR. JACOB?

OH, I'M SORRY!

SHE SINGS BEAUTIFULLY, DOESN'T SHE?

YEAH.

I'VE NEVER SEEN HER. HAVE YOU?

NO, I HAVEN'T.

UM...

I WANTED TO ASK YOU SOMETHING.

YES?

IT'S ABOUT RACHEL.

DO YOU THINK

THAT THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH HER?

I DON'T MEAN PHYSICALLY. I...

YOU'RE A DOCTOR. I THOUGHT MAYBE...

I MEAN, I KNOW YOU'RE NOT THAT KIND OF DOCTOR.

I JUST...

I'M SORRY.

I'M SURE SHE'LL BE FINE.

"AS SOON AS I HEARD THE RUMBLE

OF THE FIRST TRAM CAR,

I COULD TELL WHETHER IT WAS HEAVY WITH RAIN

OR SETTING FORTH INTO THE BLUE.

HAVING PREPARED MY EYES BEHIND THOSE SHUT LIDS

TO BE DAZZLED,

I WOULD AWAKE FINALLY

AMID DEAFENING STRAINS OF MUSIC.

IT WAS IN FACT PRINCIPALLY FROM MY BEDROOM

THAT I TOOK IN THE LIFE OF THE OUTER WORLD

DURING THIS PERIOD."

RACHEL...

YES?

YOU ALL RIGHT, RACHEL?

( sniffling )

COME HERE.

( speaking German )

...BESSER?

JA...

...BESSER.

( doorbell rings )

HI. COME ON IN.

HI.

THANKS FOR GIVING UP YOUR SATURDAY.

NO PROBLEM.

WE LIKE HAVING PARTIES,

BUT WE FORGET SOMETIMES HOW MUCH WORK IT IS.

WHAT'S THIS PARTY FOR AGAIN?

VERY FUNNY.

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY.

I KNOW. I SAW THE CAKE.

OH, YEAH.

WHY DON'T YOU COME TONIGHT?

OH, THAT'S NICE, BUT I CAN'T.

I'VE GOT PLANS.

THAT'S TOO BAD.

DON'T WORRY, I'LL STILL BE HERE TOMORROW TO CLEAN UP.

IS THAT A PROBLEM?

NO, I'D LOVE TO.

I MEAN... IT'S FINE.

WELL, I'VE GOT TO GO.

SEE YOU LATER.

SO FUNNY...

WHAT?

RAYMOND.

HE HAS A CRUSH ON YOU.

CAN'T YOU TELL?

WHAT? NO.

REALLY?

OH, YEAH.

IT'S SO OBVIOUS.

WHAT?

REALLY? HOW?

WELL, NOT SEXUALLY, NECESSARILY.

OH, NO, NO. OF COURSE NOT.

I WASN'T THINKING THAT.

WELL, IT MAKES SENSE.

YOU'RE NICE,

YOU'RE FUNNY...

HE DOESN'T HAVE A LOT OF MEN FRIENDS.

WELL, I WOULDN'T CALL THAT A CRUSH, REALLY.

YOU KNOW...

YOU HAVE ABOUT 30 CLEANSERS HERE

THAT YOU DON'T NEED. YOU ONLY NEED FIVE.

WINDOW SPRAY, A DISHWASHING DETERGENT,

CREAM CLEANSER, A COMBINED SURFACE, FLOOR AND TILE CLEANER,

AND A DISINFECTANT.

WELL, YOU KNOW...

THE BOTTLES ARE NICE.

THANKS.

( music playing )

( footsteps receding )

RONA?

( door closes )

RONA?

RONA?

THANKS FOR THE CAR.

HOW'S IT DRIVING?

GOOD.

I DON'T KNOW WHY I BOUGHT IT.

I WON'T BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT MUCH LONGER.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD KEEP IT.

MOM, PLEASE.

WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT THESE THINGS.

FINE.

TREATMENT'S NOT MAKING ME SO SICK

IN THE MORNINGS ANYMORE.

MAYBE I'M GETTING USED TO IT.

CAN I GET YOU SOME TEA OR SOMETHING?

NO. SIT.

SO, HOW ARE YOU?

HOW'S...

- ROBERTO. - ...ROBERTO?

I DON'T KNOW.

IS IT YOU OR HIM?

I DON'T KNOW.

IT'S YOU.

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HIM.

I DON'T HAVE TO KNOW HIM.

I KNOW YOU.

- WHERE ARE YOU GOING? - TO GET SOME TEA.

I THOUGHT YOU DIDN'T WANT TEA.

I'VE CHANGED MY MIND.

LOOK, NOTHING'S PERFECT.

THE SOONER YOU ACCEPT THAT,

THE HAPPIER YOU'LL BE.

I WORRY ABOUT YOU, RONA.

I KNOW.

EXCUSE ME.

SORRY TO BOTHER YOU, BUT, UH,

WE'RE DOING A DOOR-TO-DOOR INQUIRY

ABOUT THE MISSING MILLER GIRL.

I'M SORRY, I DON'T--

AMY LEE MILLER.

SHE DISAPPEARED FROM THE PARK ACROSS THE STREET YESTERDAY.

YOU HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT THIS?

NO, I HAVEN'T.

I WONDER IF I CAN GET YOUR NAME?

RICHARD JACOB.

J-A-C-O-B.

YOU MARRIED, MR. JACOB?

NO.

WELL, YES... TECHNICALLY.

I'VE BEEN SEPARATED FROM MY WIFE FOR A LONG TIME.

SHE LIVES OVERSEAS.

ANY CHILDREN?

YES. ONE.

SHE LIVES WITH HER MOTHER.

YOU'RE FRENCH?

YES.

FRENCH FRENCH?

FRENCH FRENCH.

FROM BELGIUM, ORIGINALLY.

WHY'D YOU LEAVE FRANCE?

I WANTED A CHANGE.

I THOUGHT I'D LIKE THE WINTERS.

DO YOU?

NO.

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS GIRL?

DOES SHE LOOK FAMILIAR TO YOU AT ALL?

NO, I'VE NEVER SEEN HER.

( telephone rings, low voices )

AHEM!

HI. I WAS JUST WONDERING

IF THERE WAS ANYTHING I COULD DO TO HELP.

IS THERE ANYTHING YOU NEED?

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANT THIS BACK.

SHE LEFT IT IN MY OFFICE.

GET OUT OF MY HOUSE.

HAVEN'T YOU DONE ENOUGH?

I'M A MOTHER, TOO. I KNOW HOW YOU MUST FEEL.

HOW WOULD YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL?

GET OUT.

GET OUT OF MY HOUSE.

Rupert: WHY'D YOU GET KICKED OUT OF SCHOOL?

Rachel: I DIDN'T GET KICKED OUT.

I DROPPED OUT.

OKAY, WHY'D YOU DROP OUT?

I HAD TO GET A JOB

TO SUPPORT MY MOTHER'S DRUG HABIT.

REALLY, WHY'D YOU QUIT?

I... DIDN'T FIT IN.

NOT FITTING IN FORCES YOU

TO BE ORIGINAL.

WHO WANTS TO BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE ANYWAY?

MOST PEOPLE AREN'T THAT GREAT.

YOU KNOW, I'VE SEEN YOU OTHER TIMES,

NOT JUST IN SCHOOL.

WHERE?

IN THE PARK WALKING DOGS.

I DO THINGS FOR OLD PEOPLE--

WALK THEIR DOGS, READ TO THEM,

BUY THEM GROCERIES, WHATEVER.

SO WHAT'S THAT LIKE, WORKING FOR OLD PEOPLE?

MY MOTHER HATES IT WHEN I CALL THEM THAT.

SHE THINKS IT'S REDUCTIVE.

DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THAT GIRL

THAT WENT MISSING?

YEAH.

SHE'S PROBABLY DEAD.

THEY SAY IF A KID HASN'T TURNED UP WITHIN 48 HOURS,

THAT THEY'RE PROBABLY DEAD.

IT HASN'T BEEN 48 HOURS.

( dialing )

( ringing )

Girl: Hello?

( playback ) Mama, there's no one there.

Is that you, Sylvie?

Of course, it's me. Is that you, Daniel?

Mama, it's Daniel. Come quick.

I WAS WONDERING...

I DON'T, UH, HAVE AN APPOINTMENT,

BUT CAN YOU SEE ME?

NOW?

IF YOU CAN.

I...

OKAY. SURE.

COME IN.

( murmuring )

WHAT DID YOU SAY?

NOBODY'S TOUCHED ME IN...

SUCH A LONG TIME.

( softly ) I KNOW.

( sobs )

I KNOW.

Rupert: I LIKE TO SEE WHERE THEY'RE LOOKING

WHEN THEY'RE DOING IT...

LIKE, IF THEY'RE LOOKING INTO EACH OTHER'S EYES

OR AWAY.

ALL TYPES OF LITTLE THINGS LIKE THAT

CAN TELL YOU A LOT.

LIKE WHAT?

IF THEY REALLY WANT TO BE THERE OR NOT.

IF THEY'RE HAPPY OR MISERABLE...

TURNED ON OR UNCOMFORTABLE.

OR IF THEY'RE IN LOVE.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN CAUGHT?

SOME PEOPLE LIKE TO BE WATCHED.

OTHER PEOPLE LIKE TO WATCH.

OH, HEY, HI. SORRY I'M LATE.

I GOT TIED UP.

WELL, I FORGOT YOU WERE COMING.

I'M JUST ON MY WAY OUT.

OH.

WELL, DO YOU WANNA RESCHEDULE?

NO!

UH, NO. IT'S FINE.

- ARE YOU OKAY? - OH, YEAH, I'M JUST GREAT.

THANKS FOR ASKING.

BITCH.

Machine: You have one new message.

To listen to your messages, press "1."

Rona: It's me. Are you there? Pick up the phone.

Shit.

You know that little girl that's missing?

You must've heard about it. I know her.

Two days after I got back from Italy,

The mother and her kid came to my studio.

You came with me, and we delivered the cake.

A little house in the East End, remember?

Call me when you get this message.

OH, GOD...

( ringing )

Rona: Yeah?

HI, IT'S ME.

YOU GOT MY MESSAGE?

Yeah. I'm upstairs.

WHERE?

Massage office. I'll come down.

NO.

WELL, I WANNA SEE "LUIGI."

Not yet. Give it another day.

Anyway, he's in bed.

THAT COULD BE INTERESTING.

LISTEN, YOU KNOW THAT GIRL THAT'S MISSING?

IT'S A SIGN.

WHAT KIND OF SIGN?

SOMETHING... MALEVOLENT.

It's not a sign. It's just freaky shit.

Freaky shit happens all the time.

I KNOW HER.

YOU MET HER A COUPLE OF TIMES.

I saw her yesterday,

probably half an hour before it happened.

SHE WAS WITH THAT GIRL,

YOUR MASSAGE LADY'S KID.

Rachel?

I RAN INTO THEM ON THE ELEVATOR,

then I watched them go into the park together.

I NEVER LIKED THAT GIRL.

Who's to say she didn't just throw the kid in a hole?

THAT'S A HORRIBLE THING TO SAY.

SHE'S EVIL.

She's a 16-year-old girl.

WELL, IT HASN'T BEEN THAT LONG.

MAYBE THEY'LL FIND HER.

NO.

THEY WON'T FIND HER.

I KNOW YOU DON'T WANT ME HERE, BUT, UH...

I CAN'T HELP BUT FEEL THAT THIS IS ALL MY FAULT.

I WANT TO HELP YOU.

YOU DON'T WANT TO HELP ME.

YOU WANT ME TO FORGIVE YOU.

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHOSE FAULT IT IS.

I DON'T BLAME YOU.

AFTER YOU LEFT...

I PRAYED.

I HAVEN'T DONE THAT IN A REALLY LONG TIME.

I MEAN, I'M NOT SOMEBODY...

BUT WHEN I DID...

I KNEW IT.

THEY ARE GOING TO FIND HER.

SHE'S GOING TO BE OKAY.

WE JUST HAVE TO HAVE FAITH.

I'M SORRY.

I'M SO SORRY.

OH, I'M SORRY.

I'M SORRY...

I SHOULDN'T HAVE SENT HER OUT THERE.

Rachel: I DON'T HATE MY MOTHER.

I JUST DON'T RELATE TO HER VERY WELL.

SHE'S ALWAYS LOOKING AT ME

LIKE I'VE GOT SOMETHING STUCK BETWEEN MY TEETH.

I DON'T THINK SHE LIKES ME VERY MUCH.

I'M AN ORPHAN.

REALLY?

I WISH.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR FATHER?

DEAD.

TWO YEARS AGO.

HOW'D HE DIE?

I KILLED HIM.

WE WERE SCREWING AROUND IN HISTORY CLASS, AND...

I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO BE THERE.

I KNEW IF I PUSHED IT FAR ENOUGH I'D GET KICKED OUT.

SO I DID.

AND THEN THEY CALLED MY DAD

TO COME PICK ME UP...

THE CAR WAS TOTALLED TWO BLOCKS FROM OUR HOUSE.

WOW.

I KNOW.

"IF I WERE OTHER, OTHER THAN I,

PERHAPS THE WORLD STILL WOULD BE IN ONE PIECE.

MAYBE THE I I'D BE MIGHT BE LOVED."

RACHEL WROTE THAT?

MAY I SEE?

I DIDN'T KNOW.

IT'S HARD ON KIDS,

LOSING SOMEONE.

IT'S HARD ON ANYBODY.

SOMETIMES I...

THINK I'VE HAD ENOUGH TIME

TO DEAL WITH IT.

I SHOULD'VE GOTTEN OVER HIM.

BUT THEN I'LL BE...

MASSAGING SOMEONE, AND...

THE SHAPE OF THEIR SHOULDER...

NECK, OR...

THE FEEL OF THEIR HAIR...

AND THEY'RE HIM.

SOMETIMES IT'S AS IF...

ALL THE PEOPLE I MASSAGE...

THEY'RE ALL HIM.

SHE'S GONNA BE FINE.

YOUR LITTLE GIRL, SHE IS GONNA BE FINE.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

THEY'RE GONNA FIND HER...

AND SHE'S GONNA BE FINE.

( knock on door )

HI.

HI.

I WAS SURPRISED YOU CALLED.

IT'S BEEN A WHILE.

( speaking French )

( heartbeat )

Robert: THAT'S A NEW PIERCING.

HM. ABOUT A YEAR.

A LOT OF THEM ARE NEW.

YOU JUST CAN'T SEE THEM ALL.

( both laughing )

YOU HAVEN'T SAID ANYTHING ABOUT MY HAIR.

YOU LOOK GOOD.

WHY DID WE BREAK UP?

MIGHT AS WELL ASK WHY WE WERE TOGETHER

IN THE FIRST PLACE.

FIRST OF ALL, YOU LIKE MEN BETTER.

NOT BETTER. JUST--

YOU THOUGHT I WAS A SLOB...

YOU HATED MY MUSIC...

LOTS OF PEOPLE HATED YOUR MUSIC.

SO, UH...

WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT ANYWAYS?

WHAT?

THIS.

I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM YOU IN OVER TWO YEARS.

I WANTED TO SMELL YOU.

WHAT?

FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS,

I'VE BEEN SEEING EVERYONE

THAT I USED TO SEE

AND SMELLING THEM.

OH, YEAH?

YOU CAN SMELL LOVE.

IF ANYONE I USED TO BE WITH

STILL LOVES ME,

I'LL BE ABLE TO TELL.

I SEE.

AND YOU WANNA SMELL ME?

WELL, YEAH.

SMELL AWAY.

WHAT'S THE VERDICT?

HMM...

NO.

WELL... IT WORKS.

I DON'T LOVE YOU.

I LIKE YOU.

BUT I-- I DON'T LOVE YOU.

THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE.

YOU JUST HAVE TO GIVE IT TIME.

YEAH.

NOT EVERYONE'S MEANT TO BE WITH SOMEONE.

MMM...

( softly ) OH, NO...

( choral music playing )

BONJOUR.

MM-HMM.

( talk radio on )

Woman on radio: People always blame the mother.

You can't watch your kids 24 hours a day.

What are you supposed to do,

give up everything else in your life?

Anyway, there's no point

focusing all this attention on the mother.

There's a kid out there.

Why aren't they worrying about her?

DJ: Thanks for your call.

RONA!

( continues in Italian ) ...AMICO ROBERT.

HAVING FUN, BOYS?

( speaking Italian )

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

LOOKS LIKE I CAME FOR BRUNCH.

WHAT, ARE YOU EXPECTING COMPANY?

NO, BUT THAT DOESN'T STOP HIM.

HE'S LIKE JULIA CHILD

WITH A BLENDER UP HER ASS.

( chattering )

HE CAN COOK.

HE'S EXPERIMENTING.

HE WANTS TO GET A JOB IN A RESTAURANT.

SO HE'S STAYING.

OH, NO, NO. NO ORA.

SI, ORA, SI.

- NO ORA. - E SI--

AAH!

- SCUSA! - SHIT.

SCUSA. SCUSA.

I WAS TALKING.

( speaking Italian ) STO PARLANDO.

EH, PARLARE, MANGIARE, EH?

NO. BASTA, BAS--

BASTA! BASTA!

SORRY.

HIGH MAINTENANCE.

WELL...

YOU LOOK GOOD.

OF COURSE I LOOK GOOD.

ALL I DO IS FUCK AND EAT.

I'M WORRIED IT COULD BE SOME KIND OF SCAM.

THERE WAS A WOMAN AT THE AIRPORT WITH HIM.

I'LL GO IN THERE RIGHT NOW AND TELL HIM TO GET LOST.

HE WON'T UNDERSTAND YOU.

I DON'T KNOW. I'VE BEEN INVADED.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

Robert: WHY DID WE BREAK UP?

Rona: YOU'RE NOT SERIOUS?

I JUST WANT TO KNOW.

WELL, FOR ONE THING,

EVERY TIME WE WENT TO BED TOGETHER,

WE COULDN'T STOP LAUGHING.

DO YOU THINK WE USE EACH OTHER

TO AVOID INTIMACY WITH OTHER PEOPLE?

FUCK OFF.

SOMETIMES IT'S THE PEOPLE YOU'RE CLOSEST TO

THAT HOLD YOU BACK THE MOST.

WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT ANYWAY?

YOU KNOW THAT COUPLE,

THE ONES YOU MADE THE CAKE FOR?

THE CUTE HUSBAND.

WELL, THEY'RE SO...

WHENEVER I SEE THEM, I THINK

"WHY CAN'T I HAVE THAT?"

MAYBE YOU DON'T WANT THAT...

MAYBE YOU WANT THEM.

HONEY, YOU'RE A PRIZE!

YOU'RE A CATCH!

YEAH, I KNOW.

I SHOULD GO.

WHERE?

TO SEE MY MOTHER.

YOU SAW YOUR MOTHER YESTERDAY.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IS GO HOME

AND DEAL WITH LUIGI.

I'LL TELL YOU WHY WE BROKE UP:

'CAUSE YOU WERE ALWAYS ON MY TITS.

( choir singing )

( speaking French )

( song ending )

COME ON.

SIT DOWN.

DID YOU BUY ALL THIS STUFF?

NOT EXACTLY.

I LIKE THIS ONE.

PUT IT ON.

YOU PUT IT ON.

OKAY.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S REALLY ME.

Raymond: THE CAKE WAS A HIT.

REALLY?

WELL, IT DIDN'T REALLY TASTE THAT GOOD, BUT...

IT LOOKED GREAT.

WELL, YOU KNOW...

SHE'S NOT REALLY MUCH OF A COOK.

THAT'S A BIT OF A THING WITH HER.

I MEAN... I DON'T MEAN TO SAY SHE'S...

I MEAN, SHE'S-- I SUPPOSE SHOULDN'T SAY THAT.

- SHE'S, UH-- - NEVER MIND.

SHE'S A GOOD FRIEND?

OH, YEAH. WE PLAN ON SPENDING

OUR INFIRMITY TOGETHER ON A DESERT ISLAND.

THAT'S OUR CONTINGENCY PLAN.

SO YOU'RE NOT WITH ANYONE?

UH... NO.

I DON'T REALLY DO THAT VERY WELL.

WHAT?

NOTHING.

WHAT?

MAYBE YOU JUST HAVEN'T FOUND THE RIGHT PERSON.

YEAH, RIGHT.

ALL THE PEOPLE I'VE HAD RELATIONSHIPS WITH--

AND I WON'T CALL THEM LOVERS

BECAUSE I DON'T THINK

THERE WAS EVER ANY LOVE THERE--

PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON.

IT MAY NOT BE FOREVER...

BUT IT STILL MEANS SOMETHING.

COFFEE?

( women speaking Italian )

MONICA? CIAO, ROBERTO.

( speaking Italian )

MOM?

MOM?

OH, GOD!

Richard:

Odile:

EVERYBODY...

IS AFRAID...

OF SOMETHING.

Medic: IT'S JUST A SIDE EFFECT OF THE MEDICATION.

MAYBE SHE SHOULDN'T BE TAKING IT, THEN.

WELL, HER DOCTOR SHOULD REDUCE THE DOSAGE.

YOU SHOULD GO TO A HOSPITAL.

I'M FINE. I FAINTED, THAT'S ALL.

IT'S HAPPENED BEFORE.

YOU FAINTED BEFORE? YOU NEVER TOLD ME.

WELL, THINGS HAPPEN WHEN YOU'RE DYING.

YOU'RE NOT DYING.

WAIT HERE A MINUTE. I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

OKAY.

DO YOU WANNA SIT DOWN?

SURE.

IT'S FOR YOU.

IT'S FOR ALL YOUR HELP THIS WEEKEND.

YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO.

OPEN IT.

OH, IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

IT'S NEW.

THAT'S THE FIRST BOTTLE.

TRY IT.

WHAT'S WRONG?

IT SMELLS LIKE LOVE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

NOW LOOK.

HOW DO YOU FEEL?

I FEEL...

MYSTERIOUS FROM THE HEAD UP...

AND EXOTIC FROM THE NECK DOWN.

WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW?

Ruth: RACHEL, IF YOU'RE THERE, PICK UP.

I'M AT ANNA MILLER'S HOUSE. I SPENT THE NIGHT HERE.

I HOPE YOU WEREN'T WORRIED.

LISTEN, I...

I WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT...

I-- I NEED TO TELL YOU THAT-- THAT I...

OH...

ANYWAY...

I'LL SEE YOU SOON, OKAY?

SHE'S NOT THERE.

YOU CAN HAVE THAT YEARBOOK

IF YOU'D LIKE.

YOU SURE?

YEAH.

THANKS.

I SHOULD GO HOME, MAYBE.

I'D LIKE IT IF YOU'D STAY.

I'LL STAY.

GO HOME.

WHAT?

GO HOME.

THOUGHT I COULD MAKE YOU SOME DINNER OR SOMETHING.

DON'T USE ME, RONA.

LOOK, I LOVE YOU...

BUT YOU HAVE TO FACE THIS.

NOW, GO HOME AND DEAL WITH HIM.

COME SEE ME TOMORROW. I'LL STILL BE SICK.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

OF COURSE I'M RIGHT.

NOW, GO HOME.

RONA?

( speaking Italian )

MY DAD USED TO BRING ME DOWN HERE,

TO TAKE PICTURES.

HE WAS A PHOTOGRAPHER.

DID HE DRESS YOU UP?

NO.

HOW DID YOU KNOW?

KNOW WHAT?

THAT YOU'RE...

WHAT YOU ARE.

HOW DID YOU KNOW?

I'M NOT SURE THAT I DO KNOW.

YOU LIKE TO LOOK AT ME

WHEN I'M DRESSED UP LIKE THIS?

YEAH.

WHY?

I DON'T KNOW.

IT'S LIKE LOOKING AT YOU INSIDE-OUT.

( door opens )

I'M LOOKING FOR ANNA MILLER.

THROUGH THERE.

THEY FOUND HER.

SHE'S SAFE.

I CAN TAKE YOU TO HER.

OKAY...

OKAY...

( very softly ) THANK YOU.

RACHEL?

RACHEL?

Newscaster: ...the park where she was last seen.

Incredibly, little Amy Lee had spent almost two days

in a loft room without being detected.

She was found this afternoon

on a search through the construction site

across the road from where she disappeared.

How this was possible,

even with numerous previous searches of the area,

is still being investigated,

but there is no evidence of foul play.

Amy Lee, who is now back home with her mother

after spending the afternoon

under examination at Children's Hospital,

was found to be in surprisingly good health.

The child survived the two day ordeal

by drinking water from a tap,

and eating scraps of food left over by workers.

( thunder rolling )

( laughing )

( couple talking on TV )

( man talking )

Newscaster: ...reported to be fine despite her ordeal

and is now resting at home.

A statement from her mother, Anna Miller,

issued a short time ago,

commended the efforts of those who helped in the search

and thanked others whose thoughts and best wishes

were a source of comfort

during those difficult two days.

Just two days after the search began,

Amy Lee Miller was found no more than a city block away

from the park where she was last seen...

RONA, ARE YOU THERE?

YOU WERE WRONG.

THEY FOUND HER.

Roberto: OKAY, MONICA.
