word since we left.

Allison!

- [Kevin] What?

- Did you see her eyes?

- No, what would I

have been looking for

had I seen 'em?

- Just forget it.

- NO, Ali.

Tell me what's wrong.

- Okay well this is

gonna sound weird.

But I know what I saw.

When I went to ask

Maria something,

f. V:
Q / , f

- [Kevin] They were what?

- They looked black.

- Baby, they're dark

brown like mine.

- No, like completely black,

like the pupils were

dilated or something.

I don't know.

- Okay, maybe she was

on speed or something.

- Kevin.

- What?

I mean babe, what you're

saying makes no sense.

Black eyes?

- Yes, and I know what I saw.

(sighs)

- Alright, well were you

wearing your glasses?

- What is that supposed to mean?

- [Kevin] Nothing.

It was just a question.

, fir'? L

- [Kevin] Look.

You're tired.

- Yeah.

- You've been kicking ass

at this parenting thing

since clay one.

I haven't exactly been

fair as far as keeping up.

I'm not saying that you sound...

- Crazy?

- YES.

I'm just saying that

you need a break.

This show is a good start.

Come on baby.

(suspenseful music)

(baby laughing in distance)

fast, Mimi goes first.

(crowd chatting)

Oh my God.

(speaks in foreign language)

I'm, I just have, I'm

gonna go use the restroom.

(speaks in foreign language)

- Oh my God!

Oh my God, oh my God!

No!

- Everything Okay?

- She didn't answer.

' Who?

- Maria.

- You called her?

- Yes and she didn't answer.

- She's probably tied up

with the baby or something.

I'm sure she's fine.

- No, Maria always answers.

- Babe.

- Look, you can stay,

but I am leaving.

Okay?

- Dammit.

I was just starting

to enjoy this crap.

- Maria?

Come here baby.

Okay.

Maria!

Maria!

Kevin!

' [Kevin] Yeah?

- Maria's not here.

He was in the room by himself.

I; $56?

- Uh, I'll go check the

backyard to see if she's there.

She's not in the backyard.

Is that yours?

K "

- Um, stay calm.

I will call the police.

Is he okay?

- Yeah, he's fine.

(suspenseful music)

- Like I said, she's been our

nanny since our son was born.

7m 1' i7' -~' :
\f\ \

F Hi. ' ' I 5i ~

She would never,

ever leave our baby.

- Okay Mr. and Mrs. Dunn.

Well, I think we have

all the information

that we need tonight.

If anything comes up,

we'll give you a call.

In the meantime, if you

find out anything, call us.

Okay?

Thanks.

- Thank you.

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

- I think you should

go to your mom's.

- Why?

- Because you don't need

any more distractions.

You've already

been through a lot

since Neron was born.

- So you think that I should

go and see my mom or a shrink?

- Look, you're the one that said

that you mom was going

through some serious menopause

'cause she hasn't seen Neron.

But seriously, you

should go down there.

' \ k"

" it:
1?; e gm Tr-

Qkay.

I can't keep avoiding taking

Neron to see her forever.

- (laughs) No.

Ancl I know it sucks having

a psychiatrist for a mom.

- Yeah, it sucks.

Will you make me feel better?

Thank you.

- Three people

missing in a week.

Any thoughts?

Concepts.

Hunches.

Good ideas, bad ideas.

Messages from space.

From a Ouija board, anything?

- Couple said they found that

when they came

home from the show.

Suppose we say it

belongs to the nanny.

- No signs of a struggle.

- Hmm, I mean three people

vanish without a trace.

No evidence.

Now what is that?

All we know is the nurse's house

was demolished by

who knows what.

- That was probably a car.

- Probably a car?

I mean if we don't get a grip,

the FBI's gonna

be all over this.

Ancl what's it gonna

make us look like?

- F***ing idiots?

- I don't need a sentence

completion service.

My ex-wife was a sentence

completion service.

All I need is a little

help here folks.

- I think we should start

at the hospital sir.

It's our best connection.

- Alright.

Ancl keep an eye on the couple.

H k '\ V:
= 7%

- Oh. (sighs)

- You can't catch worth a sh*t.

TV??? Twiyl I'?w'w

- Okay I think you need

something to calm you down.

Like sertraline.

- Sertraline?

- '(ED-

It's a neuro pill,

very small closes.

Take one daily

with lots of water.

I'm also going to give you

something to help you sleep.

Be careful with it.

Ancl please, don't drive

when you take them.

- Okay, are there

any side effects?

- Probably drowsiness,

sleepiness.

Sometimes blurred

vision, hallucinations.

- Great, now I'm gonna

feel like a druggie.

(sighs)

Okay, thanks Doc.

(unsettling tones)

MQrn?

(suspenseful music)

MQrn?

MQrn?

- Just give me a

minute sweetie, huh?

- Sure.

Excuse me.

Sorry.

I love the color

of the office Mom.

- Now that color's

supposed to be

very soothing for my patients.

- [Ali] Yeah, it's quite

something. (laughs)

- Oh God.

Neron is so precious.

He's this big handsome boy now.

- Yeah.

Can't believe you got

him to sleep so fast.

- Uh huh, grandmothers.

We've got the touch. (laughs)

Oh.

So, talk to me sweetie.

Kevin tells me you've been

really stressed out lately

and hallucinating.

- What?

Why would he tell you that?

- [Grandmother] 'Cause

he cares about you.

- No, that his wife is crazy?

I can't believe

he would do that.

God.

- You know,

it took me a while to

believe your father was dead.

For so long I was

just mad at him

for taking his own life.

Because I wanted it to

be me instead of him.

There was nothing I thought

your father couldn't do.

Ah, he was the perfect

husband, father, friend.

There was no comparison to

his work as a psychiatrist.

His patients all loved him.

Ancl as he continued

to free them all

from their mental health,

their health slowly became his.

- You can't blame yourself mom.

- It was my responsibility

to give him strength

when he needed it.
