Hey, are you okay?

- Huh? Yeah. Sorry.

- It's alright.

Hey, it's good to take your

stuff home with you.

But uh ... it's gotta get done.

Yeah.

I know.

I have a bit of a situation.

... I will get it to you.

What's the ETA on the

Myers account?

- James!

- Yeah... Sorry.

The Myers account?

When's that happening?

Really sorry.

I have a bit of a situation at home.

But I will have that to you

by the end of the day.

- Yeah.

- I promise.

- OK

Amy are you home?

Aw, come on!

Hey Diggs.

What are you doing?

You alright, boy?

So you don't think

this is your cat?

No, he's different, skinnier.

There! That.

He's never done that before.

- He's never growled before?

- Not like that, not at me.

But otherwise, he

looks the same.

Yeah. Like I said,

it's not just the cat,

There's the CD, someone's been

messing around with my computer.

Something is going on.

This is really what concerns

me. Right here.

Is this her handwriting?

Yeah, I think so.

But...

So...

- She needed to clear her head.

- Something is going on.

I mean, really, Mr Deakin.

Who's going go and

replace your cat?

Hello...

Anybody home?

Anybody here?

Hello?

- What the hell are you doing?

- Jesus!

- How did you get in here?

- I want to speak to Amy.

- Come on, let's go.

- What are you doing?

- Get out.

- What are you doing home on a work day?

- Just get out of here.

- I want to speak to Amy.

- Amy

- She's not here.

- Amy

- Amy!

- Katherine, she's not here!

You know what? She's not answering her

phone, so I want to know what's going on.

Just get out. Go!

- Amy!

- Go!

I want to talk to

my sister, James.

Yeah, and I want to talk

to my wife. Get out!

- Come on Katherine, get out of my house.

- Don't touch me!

- What is the matter with you?

- Get out!

- You're hurting my arm!

- Get the hell out of here then!

You've done something,

haven't you?

Listen...

So why can't I go in?

There is a situation.

I don't want you meddling.

- Meddling in what?

- I'm handling it, OK? Just go!

Get your hands off me!

I'm really calling the

police now, James!

I called the police.

They don't do sh*t.

I'm dealing with it.

Jesus Christ!

What the hell?

Yes!

They cut his head off.

But you said the fake

cat is still there?

Yeah, it ...

Yes, Amy's still gone.

I haven't heard from her.

- Did you check with work?

- Yeah, yes.

I called all her friends,

I checked with the school,

I checked her email, I called the

airlines to see if she booked a flight.

Nothing

She asked you not to contact her

though, right?

I told you, I don't think

she wrote that note.

Listen, I need you to figure

out what's going on.

Alright?

I need you to find my wife.

- We can file a report.

- That's great.

Without any real evidence,

it is all we can do.

Listen... I'll just handle

it myself then.

Mr Deakin.

Don't believe me?

I'll get you some evidence then.

Amy?

Amy, you there?

Who is this?

Jesus.

Jesus Christ.

Who the hell?

Yeah, give me the police.

Is anybody down there?

Hello, is anybody down there?

Alright, it takes a second.

Right there.

Who is it?

I don't know who it is.

Now watch this.

He obviously got in here.

He said they did something

to your cat.

Did something?

He cut his head off.

But there is still a cat.

- Yeah there is a cat, it's a fake cat.

- It's a fake cat?

- Yeah, he looks the same but it's ...

- But you're sure it's a fake?

Yeah I'm sure. Come here.

That's what my cat looks like now.

Jesus Christ!

It's gone!

What, you lost the head?

No! Whoever did this came

and they took it back.

They took the cat head back?

You saw the video. Someone's

been coming and going in here

Right. So you, you put the

cat head in the freezer?

Yeah. This hasn't come

up a lot in my life.

Is there a different protocol for severed

cat head storage I should know about?

I'm going to need you to

calm down, sir. Alright?

Calm down? When's the last time

your cat was murdered?

When's the last time your

wife just disappeared?

There was a note though, right?

From your wife.

Yeah...

What are you going to do?

What are you going to

do about this?

What would you like us to do

about it Mr Deakin?

Take it seriously for starters.

I can assure you we are taking the

disappearance of your wife very seriously.

Did you or your wife have any

trouble with any neighbors lately?

No.

Anyone from work, school?

No.

OK. Can you think of anyone who

might want to do this to you?

The last time we met, I remembered

you were a big Jays fan.

Got the whole team on there.

'93 championship team.

- I know it. It looks new.

- It's been conditioned.

You're the first person to touch

it in probably 20 years.

This must seem pretty

weird to you, huh?

I'm just having a bad week.

In fact you might say I have a new

found understanding for probably

what you went through in school.

Just to be harassed, you know?

Not know what's coming next.

Not know what ...

horrible sh*t they're

going to do next.

Look, I'm sorry about

all that stuff.

You know?

I mean it Bill.

Anything you need ever,

you let me know.

I'm serious, man. I'm not that

guy from school, you know? I ...

That guy was a monster, I'm not him.

Yeah. Alright.

Has anyone ever done this before?

No.

Apologized for bad stuff ...

- No, nobody has ever done this before.

- Does it help?

Bad stuff still happened.

Let me ask you a question, Bill.

Do you know where my wife is?

- You don't know where your wife is?

- No, I don't.

Well, how would I know

where your wife is?

I'm not ...

I'm not screwing around here, OK?

If you've got a problem with me,

let's keep it between you and me.

Amy didn't do anything wrong, OK?

- Something funny?

- I'm just gonna...

You're not going anywhere Buck.

Where is Amy? Where the hell is she!

You're still the same a**hole

Deakin! You know that?

I'm wrong, I'm sorry OK?

But you gotta understand what I'm

going through right now, alright?.

I understand,

karma's a b*tch.

- I don't know.

- What do you mean you don't know?

I don't know, Katherine. I'll say

it again. I don't know where she is.

As far as I know she could be right next

to you laughing her ass off right now.

- James, I will bring the police.

- Bring the police over, Katherine!

- Yeah, I will.

- They're not going to do anything. Trust me.

- Well I don't trust you, James.

- I'm, I'm hanging up the phone now

Yeah, you better not

have done any...

What's next?

What's next a**hole!

Bring it on ...

Bill.

Oh, Jesus.

Amy.

Open up Bill!

Come on Bill!

Open the door!

- What are you doing?

- Where is she?

What do you want?

Where she!

Is she in there?

Amy!

You got my f***ing wife in here!

I'm going to kill you!

Piece of sh*t!

- Where is she!

- Aaagh!

Amy!

Amy!

Amy!

I'm coming.

I'm coming!

No.

No.

No. No...

Where the hell are you?

Where the hell are you?

- Hi.

- Is this a bad time, Mr Deakin?

Well, huh, I was...

Yeah. Have you heard from Amy?
