I read your article. - Article? More like a blurt if you ask me.
It was well written. - Spare me your sympathy Marcus.
Come on Carmen. How long you gonna be bitter about your work.
its bullshit. i write one Controversial article and im pushed down to the bottom of the food chain.
you probably shoulda left it alone, you knew it was gonna get you in trouble.
can we just stop talking about this please?
ok , well what do you want to talk about? maybe the fact that half the time you spend with me, your typing on the phone?
or that you break our plans after we make them? cos im good with iether
wheres this coming from?
forget about it, im gonna get going.
no! Seriously, what is this
You think that this is fun for me?
it seems liek everytime we hang out, your mind is somewhere else.
I am swamped with work right now marcus, you know that.
yeah so am i, but i turn it off when im with you.
you gotta give a little. - oh so now im selfish?
Yeah, kinda. - ok, i think thats enough.
Yeah, I think it is, im outa here. marcus..
Bees? - Yeah, bees.
A farmer in orchid medow, Omaha caims that non of the bees do not return to the hive
and only 20% of the crop is being pollinated.
Why dont we try something else
ive got a lead on the Eric Taylor case.
look .. a young man goes back packing across Europe and goes missing, it happens all the time.
its a dead case. - No, there's more to it than that.
He was last seen leaving a motel in Kozki, Poland.
Sara and I have have been doing some research. we found record of 5 tourists who have gone missing
during the last 50 years, while travelling through the exact same area.
Carmen, how many times do i have to tell you?
Listen ok , the strange thing is that shortly after they disappear ...
their luggage shows up at random cities all over eastern Europe.
now i spoke to Laura Taylor, Eric's mom ...
she recently received a call from prague airport
saying they had erics luggage.
theres no record of him ever entering the Czech Republic.
that doesn't sound like fresh concrete evidence to me.
Have you ever been to an airport?
Luggage gets lost all the time. Not interested.
And Carmen
I do not want you and sarah wasting company time, with this misisng person stuff.
are we clear?
Hello. - Hi mrs. Taylor.
I'm Carmen Berk. - Carmen,its so nice to finally meet you,please, call me Laura.
This is Sara Titasal, she is an intern at our company.
Hello Laura. - its a pleasure, please come in.
Eric had been planning his trip for over a year.
He was.. never much into school. He always just wanted to travel.
and where are the police with this now?
its an absolute joke.
i contacted theKoski police, they say they found nothing.
I contacted the police here ...
and after waiting days for them to get back to me ...
they call and tell me that eric is now officially on a missing persons list.
and that his case has been moved to a different department.
You mentioned you've been contacted about erics luggage, have you been able to claim it yet?
Yes, it's upstairs in his room.
All his clothes are there, his books, his journal, his hotel receipts.
di you tell the police that? i mean, there could be evidence.
yes Of course, I called them right away.
They told me that they were too backed up to come.
That they would get to it, when they could.
would it be ok if i take a look at erics luggage? there may something there that may help us.
Yes, ofcourse, please.
will you forgive me if i dont escort u up
I find it difficult to be in that room. - I understand. thank you
It's upstairs on the right.
I'll make some tea. - ill help you.
That was Eric and his cousin, when they decided they wanted to get tattoos.
I told them they were crazy, but ...
Eric really wanted one.
Is this your husband? - Yeah, that's my Jim.
He passed away five years ago.
I'm sorry. - it hurt eric alot.
Laura , can i borrow this for the time being? its erics journal. but id really love to spend some more time with it
I don't see why not.
I don't imagine the police will want it any time soon.
Thank you for your time.
The last journal entry.. Alvainia.
Leave me alone.
look I hate fighting with you.
well obviously were fighting for a reason. - I know. And I agree.
my head hasn't been in this relationship lately.
But I want to fix that. which is why i think you should come on this trip with me.
I appreciate that. But if were going to take a trip together, why dont we go to the Cayman Islands or something?
Because there is no story in the Cayman Islands.
right..right. - Come on Marcus.
I think your a great photographer and I want you to shoot this.
tell you what, Ill leave my BlackBerry in the hotel.
I do not know, Carmen it sounds a little dangerous.
could be. - I'm not kidding.
im surprised that Dale would even allow this, this sounds like a police matter.
Yeah, well the police aint doing shit.
I'm going no matter what. i have to, ive already booked the tickets
just think about it alright.
I gotta get back.
heres the contact info for Carl Pierson, hes the farmer with the dying crops.
theres another farm house just east of him with the same problem.
These bees are literaly just dying off.
Anyway. He looks forward to meeting the two of you.
this should be a good experience for you Sarah. are you excited?
Yeah..very excited.
Well. Keep up the good work girls. Rock and Roll. - Rock and Roll.
marcus Yeah? Okay, great.
Oh no, we should have everything prept soon.
No we'll break up the details later.
I'm really glad your doing this.
ok talk to you soon bye.
Okay, were good to go. Marcus is gonna shoot for us.
Listen, I want you to start checking out motels in Poland
start with the one Eric was staying at in Kozki. alright
I can not believe were doing this.
Were gonna have to start brushing up on our Polish. - already a step ahead of you.
so, what else we know about this place.
Not much. They make their own clothes, they grow their own food.
apparently the lands known for growing mushroooms.
it doesnt look like eric was in Alvainia for very long, theres only a few journal entries.
Hey listen to this one.
theres something odd about this village, the people seem very odd and distant.
There are no motels or hostels, so im roughing it in an old barn.
ive noticed some kind of smoke looming above the tree line on the outer edge of the village.
i thought it was a fire at first, but it actually seems to be more like a fog, just sitting there.
was this kid eating the mushrooms by any chance?
That must be the turn up ahead.
well.. i guess were here.
pull over here, well walk.
Eric wasn't kidding about this place.
Oh my God, thats sick.
Come on, hes just a farmer. need i remind you where hot dogs come from?
You said they teach English i school here right? - Yeah thats what i read.
Hi there. Those are beautiful.
Do you speak English?
Yes.. little.
My name is Carmen, thats marcus, and sarah.
What's your name? - Lidia.
Lidia, thats a very pretty name.
Thank you.
We are journalists from America. Do you know America?
Yes, cheeseburgers.
Have you ever travelled outside Alvainia, Lidia?
No, not allowed.
Thats too bad. Do you like it here?
No? how come?
listen Lidia, we're looking for a young man, his names Eric Taylor, have you seen him?
You have to go. - Have you seen this man Lidia?
Let's keep moving.
Is this town Christian ?
I do not know, it seems really strange tho.
look at that guy, there treating him like roaylty.
holy shit.. speaking of strange.
That's it, thats gotta be what Eric was talking about.
well how can that be? its still here.
What the hell is it?
Im not sure, but its the last thing he wrote about in his journal.
i say we check it out.
i dont understand how it can just be sitting there, in that one part of the forest?
I can see why Eric was intrigued.
I'm sorry,do you speak English? - You, go.
We are looking for someone, maybe you can help us.
get your hands off me hey!!
English yeah? You are English?
so go to England.
Go.
alright, were going.
Relax.
There is nothing for you here English.
Pull over Marcus. - What? Why?
just pull over for a minute
We have to go back. - what, are you kidding me?
Those guys looked like they wanted to kill us.
There hiding something up there in that forest.
No, they wanted us out of there the minute we got into town.
No, that guy followed us half way round the village
it wasnt till we started walking towards the fog that he came after us.
that was the one place they wouldnt let us go and the last place eric may have been.
you dont think thats a major coincidence?
Carmen , we cant.
We have to. - Why?
because if we dont.. my career is done.
Dale does not even know we're here, he thinks we are in Omaha
covering some bullshit story. if i go back empty handed
im finished
Are you fuckin serious? You never got a go ahead?
Wait ... you didnt tell him?
hold on a sec.. you knew about this too?
look, there hiding something up there in those trees and i want to find out what it is.
We came all this way, we cant just turn back now.
Please Marcus, I need this.
We check it out and thats it. ok
You should have known better, than to get her mixed up in this.
she wanted to be here here. - She's not your kid.
It should be straight ahead from here, im pretty sure the church is off that way.
Yeah this feels right.
This is so strange.
Hows it not moving?
It's so dense.
It's too dense. - What do you mean.
I can take a photo of what ever this is from here,
but theres no way i can get a decent shot its so foggy
lets head in, check it out. - What difference does it make carmen?
we cant shoot what we cant see.
we didnt come all the way up here so we could take a picture of some cloud sitting in a forrest marcus
not exactly the story im looking for.
yeah well the story your looking for is gonna get us caught.
Oh my god , would you stop worrying, no one even knows were here.
Yeah, no one in the whole fuckin world knows were here.
