Help me!
Help me, Lora!
Pick up.
Come on, pick up.
Hi, this is Ashley. I can't get to the phone right now but...
...if you leave your name and number, I'll call you back as soon as possible.
Ashley, it's me.
Call me back as soon as you get this.
Damn it, Ashley! Pick up the phone.
Fuck!
Where's Dad?
Wasn't he supposed to come home last night?
Yes, was!
You know what? I'm never gonna pass Chemistry.
Well, maybe if you study more, and spend less time on...
No, no! I... I'm studying. It's just.. I'm...
I'm just not good at science. Mr. Carl hates me.
Yeah, right.
Good morning.
Oh! Hi, Dad. - Bye.
What happened? You were supposed to be home last night.
I tried to call you.
I'm sorry, honey. I must have turned my phone off.
Is that coffee?
We had a late dinner meeting, with one of our biggest clients.
They insisted that we go for drinks after.
Didn't Chris know that, that meant you have to drive all night?
Honey, this is business.
I mean, sometimes you just have to humor those people.
What, especially these guys, the kind of money they spent.
You look tired.
- You okay? - I... I'm fine.
I just been really busy with planning the church fundraiser.
May be, you shouldn't...
.. take on so much responsibility at the church.
I'll be okay.
Besides, I like feeling like I'm doing something good.
Look, things are gonna slow down soon. I promise.
And I'll take some time off, we'll all go on a little vacation.
I promise.
We'll go some place fun.
We could go to my Dad's farm?
No, I said some place fun.
You know, I can take Carolyn to school, if you need a break.
Does anybody have any questions?
Miss. Garrison, Why is this picture so depressing?
The artist wanted to convey sorrow and sadness.
He even picked a background that would reflect the model's emotions.
Why is the picture so blurry?
Looks like the photographer moved the camera during the long exposure.
That's actually a very good question. He wanted the image to look more like...
.. a faded memory or a painting. Not just a simple portrait.
Alright, guys!
That actually did for today. And next week's assignment,
Try thinking outside of the box. Don't worry about the rules.
Bring me something creative, daring...
Just be different.
You have no new messages. - Hello.
Hey, Mr. McDowell.
Lora, you look a bit stressed. Is everything alright?
Everything's fine, I just...
I didn't get all sleep last night.
- Are you finished for the day? - With classes. Yes.
But I still have all this stuff to shift for a project.
Why don't you go home and get some rest, my dear.
I can't. My deadline is tomorrow.
Listen, don't try to take it all in.
I assure you very best for tomorrow night's activities,
.. it's a rather important event for the university.
I know, Mr. McDowell. I... I'll try. Thank you.
Alright, Barry. Long time no see.
Yeah, just you know...
Just working. You know the usual.
Still wearing those silly thing? It's not that nice in here.
I know. I'm just being extra careful, I guess.
Better safe than sorry.
What is it this time?
Is everything okay?
I didn't get any sleep.
- Did you and Peter have a fight again? - Peter and I are done.
Help me-e-e!

MacGey's.
May I speak with Ashley Gerritsen, please?
Uh, who's this? - It's her sister.
I'm sorry, she's not here right now.
Can you tell me the next time she works? - Oh, she's off today.
I think she'll come tomorrow. I'm sorry.
Hi, this is Ashley. I can't get to the phone right now, but..
We have this bond, you know.
It's like, when she's sad. I'm too.
Or when something's wrong, I feel it.
If she's in pain, or if somebody hurts her then..
.. it hurts me too.
You have no idea how fucked up our life has been.
I mean, having a twin in a lot of ways is difficult.
I don't think people realise.
What do you mean?
We have always been one together, like one person.
It's never Lora or Ashley, it's always the twins.
I'm responsible for her actions, and it's not fair, you know.
And, I know, I'm sounding selfish right now.
- But... - Not at all.
Having your own identity is...
...crucial to every aspect of your psychological development.
I mean,
Resenting your sister is very normal in this kind of situation.
I mean, you say, you've been having dreams about her?
Yeah.
Didn't you say that you two just recently...
...re-established your relationship together, is that correct?
I just...
I just wanna fix her, I can't.
Stop it.
Seriously, stop it. Stop it!
Stop.
Stop it!
Ashley, don't.
God damn it, Lora.
What the hell did you do?
Lora? Are you alright?
You know what? I... I'm sorry.
I... I can't talk about this right now.
I can't... I can't do it anymore.
Hi, this is Ashley. I can't get to the phone right now...
Damn it!
Lora.
- I didn't think you were coming. - Well, I wasn't gonna come, but...
...very glad I did.
Would you guys mind, if I get a candid picture of two of you?
- Actually... - Sure. Go ahead.
Alright, smile real good for me.
Thank you guys, have a good night.
Lora, you can't still be upset with me. It's been what? A year?
- Yeah. - Besides, I said I was sorry.
As if sorry automatically makes everything okay, right?
- Now it's fine? - That's not fair, Lora.
It's not fair either to me, that is not fair.
I made a mistake, what else do you want me to say?
I think I made a mistake, too.
- So what's this then? You're leaving? - I'm afraid so.
- Lora, my dear. Is everything okay? - I'm fine.
Can't sleep? - No.
Can I get you anything?
No.
No, thanks Hun, I'm fine.
Where's Carolyn? - In bed.
On the phone, of course.
How are things coming with the...
...fundraiser at church?
Crazy.
But somebody's gotta do it.
Oh, just don't overdo it.
And probably you could find somebody to help you with that.
You wanna talk? You work all the time.
Besides, I like feeling like I'm making a difference.
This is...
Barry, stop! What's wrong with you?
Stop it!
God, you never wanted it like that.
I'm sorry.
It's okay, let's just go...
Go to sleep.
Okay.
I'm gonna call Dr. Woods in the morning.
See, if he tells me, what to do.
You having trouble with your ears again?
Yeah.
I think it's been bad lately.
You've been taking your medication?
I missed a couple of doses. Nothing major.
God! Why would you do that?
This stuff makes me feel like a zombie when I take it.
You heard what Dr. Woods said, though?
You have to take the medications for atleast six months,
...even if you think that the ringing has stopped.
I don't know what.
I know.
Fine.
I'll call Dr. Woods in the morning, and see if he can squeeze you in...
...but in the meantime, go take your medication.
Honey, it's in the car, somewhere.
I'll take it in the morning, I promise.
I love you.
You two, get your ass over here.
What did I tell you about playing in your church clothes?
I'm sorry, daddy.
You're gonna be sorry when I get you home.
Didn't I tell you not to encouraged your sister?
What?
So, what do you wanna be when you grow up?
I'm going to be a dancer.
And I'm going to dance infront of thousands & thousands of people.
People will give me a standing ovation...
...a handsome gentleman will bring me flowers,
...and I'll be famous the world over.
No, you won't.
Shut up, Lora.
So, what do you wanna be?
Nothing, I just wanna leave this place.
Just see, what's beyond those streets. - I wanna go to a big city...
Go to ballet school.
- You're too old for that. - No, I'm not.
You are.
You have to start when you are four or five.
Well, I'm a quick learner, I can do it.
Great. If we get out of here first.
Ashley, I need you to promise me something, right here, right now.
Promise me that we'll never be separated.
That we'll never be apart.
The only way to leave this place is to stay together.
We have to get out of here.
I'm Lora. I talked to you on the phone. - I'm Maggie. I'm a friend of Ashley.
Have you seen her lately? - I saw her a couple of days ago.
She was supposed to be here this afternoon.
I tried calling her, but I didn't get an answer.
Look! Hey Mary, I'm taking a five minute break!
Don't worry. I'm sure she's fine.
Look, I've known her for about four years.
She's a great kid, she just makes some really bad decisions.
Have you tried going by her house yet?
It's a little place off... about five miles down there.
It's the house we grew up in.
I never...
I just never thought I'd have to go back to that place again.
No, didn't she, hmm...
She sure mentioned you a couple of times.
Never said anything about you being twins and all.
But, there's some things about Ashley that even I don't really know.
Yes, she's always been so secretive.
She never told me if anything bad happened to her...
I just somehow, uh, I just always know.
How long has it been since you two talked to each other?
It's been about six years.
But you're now, that's all that matters.
We may be seeing you as excatly what Ashley need right now.
I hope so.
Mr. Kane.
You can come on back now.
Have a seat right here.
The doctor will be in with you, in just a minute.
Hello Barry.
How's the ringing been treating you?
I've decided to give it a name. - Give it a name?
It's obvious, it's not gonna go away.
It's seems like the right thing to do.
I'm gonna call him 'Maximilian'.
Max for short.
And he's missed.
I'm gonna get you. - No, you're not.
One...
...eight, nine, ten. Ready or not, here I come.
Damn it Ashley, how many times I'd tell you not to run back here?
I'll whoop you're ass right now. - What happened, daddy?
Your dumb ass sister was running around fell and busted her head.
Go inside and get the first aid kit.
What the hell are you waiting for? You want her to bleed to death?
Shit!
Where are you?
Lora. Lora!
Hello?
Lora, you must like me.
Lora!
How many more of these little bags we have to keep stuffing?
Just a few more.
So what time is Barry gonna be home?
He should be home any minute now.
He works really for the church about an hour.
- Where is he anyway? - Doctor's office again.
He's having problem with his ears.
Poor thing.
It's not all the problems he's having with Tinnitus...
...it's all the time he spends on the road working.
I'm surprised we're still together.
What do you mean?
Let's just say that things have changed.
How?
- Hello? Go on. - I don't know.
It's... It's the little things mostly.
He's not as patient as he used to be.
He is... he seems stressed out about something.
Who knows? Maybe it's just me but...
But, things don't work out.
How are things in bed?
Carolyn, will you please turn down the music?
Now, Carolyn!
It sounds like someone could use a cup of coffee.
That would be great.
- I'll go make it. - No, relax.
I'll make the coffee.
Thank you.
Hello, stranger.
Haven't seen you for a while.
Looking pretty handsome.
How you doing?
So, met the doctor?
It's a revelation. I'm supposed to be taking my medication...
See. I told you.
Now go upstairs and get dressed,
...we have to leave to the church in a little over an hour.
I know what you're thinking, and the answer is no.
You are going with me to the church...
...even if I have to drag you, kicking and screaming.
Mum, I need to go to the pharmacy, before we're going to church, okay?
Why are you telling me this now? We've to leave in a little over an hour.
I'll just go get some stuff, okay.
Fine.
Just go talk to your father, and see if he can take you, alright?
I like your chest. - Really?
I'd like everything.
Dad?
- What's the matter with you? - Nothing.
I'm fine.
I need you to take me to the pharmacy, I gotta go get some stuff.
Sure. Sure.
- Are you sure you're okay? - Honey, I'm fine.
Just go.
How can help you?
I need to file a missing person's report.
Name of the missing person?
Ashley Gerritsen.
- Age? - 25.
And when did you first notice the person was missing?
Today, I guess.
You mean to tell me that she hasn't even been missing 24 hours yet?
We can't really fill a missing person's report...
...until the person is been missing for 48 hours.
Look... I can't get hold of her.
I've been to her house, I've been to the place she works. Nothing!
But that doesn't necessarily mean that she's missing.
If she doesn't show up for work tomorrow,
...and you still can't find her then you can come here...
...and we can file a missing person's report.
Sorry, dad. - Honey, I'm sorry, it's...
It's this ringing in my ear,
...it'll stop and everything will get back to normal.
Do you think mom will let me go to Jen's party tomorrow?
I don't know.
We let you go to Jennifer's last week,
...and you were supposed to be home by ten, you didn't get to us after eleven?
But it's not fair, because Jen's parents were supposed to take me home...
...and they didn't come home until late.
Yeah, but you didn't tell us that Jennifer's parents weren't gonna be there.
- Or we wouldn't let you go. - Fine.
Can we just talk to your mom about this tomorrow?
- Dad, light's green. We can go. - Sorry.
Dad, I think you need some help.
No, it's just been a long week.
Hey, did she show up yet?
I'm afraid not, sweety. And boy, is Larry pissed?
And if she doesn't show up soon, he says he's gonna fire her.
Did you try her house? - Yeah, I went there.
And then I went to the police station...
...and tried to file a missing person's report.
They said not enough time has passed, and there's nothing they can do.
Oh sweety, I'm sure Ashley is fine. Like I said before,
...sometimes she just shuts down and blows everything off.
After all she did just break up with Peter a few days ago.
- Who's Peter? - Her old boyfriend, he's a real loser.
She finally wised up and left him.
Do you know where this Peter guy lives? Maybe she's just over there.
And I sure hope not.
But... may atleast give it a try.
He lives in an old trailer parked about three miles down the road.
It's called "Town and Country. "
It's an old trailer in the back.
Real piece of shit, you can't miss it.
Hey there. He ain't been here in two days ago.
Help me.
B9.
I know. I know. Just a little bit longer.
We have plenty of prizes.
It's okay.
Lora, is there something wrong?
Lora?
Lora, is there something wrong?
Something wrong with Ashley?
Yes, there is.
- You want me to call your father? - No.
- Please don't call him. - No. No, it's okay.
It's okay. I won't him if you don't want me to.
Lora, I can't help you if you don't tell me what's wrong.
There's nothing you can do.
What did you say?
I'm going to kill him.
Dad, leave her alone. Dad, please. - Get the fuck out of here.
- You're hurting her. - Go, now!
- Go. - Don't hurt her, please.
I said, get the fuck out of here.
No! No!
No!

O52. - Bingo!
Hello?
- Hello? - I'll be right there.
Hello there, can I help you?
Is Father Lay still around?
I used to come here when I was a little girl.
Of course he's still here.
In fact, he's in the back right now. I'll go back and get him.
- Just give me a few moments. - Thank you very much.
Have you played any of the game?
And remember the gambling thing. Watch the gambling thing.
I know. I know you people.
Excuse me, Father. Lora Gerritsen is here to see you.
Hey, it's great.
Abby...
I'm gonna step outside and get some lemonade.
Hey, that sounds good. Could you get me some too, please?
Lora?
Lora.
Okay, thanks for coming.
How's the bingo going?
Pretty good, Father. Abby seems to be on top of things.
Oh, I have somebody here I'd like you to meet.
This young lady used to be one of our parishioners.
Barry?
That was odd.
Is he okay?
He's probably just having problem with his ears.
He has tinnitus. Ringing in the ears.
Pretty awful.
Dad?
Dad! Dad! What's wrong with you?
I22.
Barry, what's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost.
Can Vivian take you home? I gotta get out of here.
- We just got here. - I don't feel well, okay?
- I just need to leave. - Go.
Just go. I'll see you tonight.
Nothing new ever happened around this place.
That's not true, I mean...
You met me today that's something new.
I'm coming back through here this evening. What time do you get off?
You don't waste any time, do you?
