Absentia Page #4

Synopsis: Tricia's husband Daniel has been missing for seven years. Her younger sister Callie comes to live with her as the pressure mounts to finally declare him 'dead in absentia.' As Tricia sifts through the wreckage and tries to move on with her life, Callie finds herself drawn to an ominous tunnel near the house. As she begins to link it to other mysterious disappearances, it becomes clear that Daniel's presumed death might be anything but 'natural.' The ancient force at work in the tunnel might have set its sights on Callie and Tricia ... and Daniel might be suffering a fate far worse than death in its grasp.

What's going on? - They found a body in the tunnel,

and the need to identify ... No, ma'am, come back, please!

Do not go there!

What happened? Oh, God!

Oh, God!

It is on ... This is Walter Lambert.

Hold it! Hold it! Hold it! - I'm sorry!

But you have to stay here! Hold it ...!

Keep it. Keep it.

Sh*t!

Hey!

I will not stay long.

Your father ... - I told you I was not dead.

I'm sorry. There are many animals perished in this environment,

and I want to know what the dog is looking at that bag of garbage?

Just wanna go home. - I know, otherwise I'll go to your neighbors

and ask them about all the burglaries. I'll ask them about the disappearance of animals.

And they would tell me that Jamie Lambert is a "good" guy.

I just want to sleep.

And I want you to give me any information.

Anything, and I'll send you home, you will get help.

If you need.

I turned to you for help, but you could not help.

If you want to help me, help me, then ...

to bury his father, please.

Yes, in that I can help you.

Okay, we're done.

Bye.

Hi, sis.

How you doing meditation? - Well, come sit next to me.

So just sitting here thinking about? - I know.

I'm trying ...

I'm trying, really ...

get rid of the attachment ...

the source of pain.

I'm trying to find, so I do not know, nirvana.

What is nothingness, is not it?

Do potcijenjivati attractiveness of nothingness.

At least until they live out a little longer.

Even if I close my eyes, I still see the body on the sidewalk.

Yes, I know, and I remembered that. Could it be he.

Could it be ... Daniel

Pomotano way.

Poor Daniel.

Do you know that the Church says ...

There are people whom she calls "the sacrificial spirit"? - Really?

People that God just leave ...

He plays the devil and demons to make their own.

As if they were destined to suffer ...

in return for a large reward in heaven.

I'm not going to call the prodigal ...

or hit you.

I know I am now.

I think sometimes you have really good ideas.

Itself're led by an unknown horizon

and trying to unravel.

I never thought anything bad about you.

I think I'm damn f***ed up.

At this point.

This one has a f***ing middle of the day, all of which gives me the creeps.

Am I to assume that this is going to end like this?

Am I able to know at all?

Tricia.

Gone / i

disappeared / i

Yes, I know.

We want something to drink? - You can not.

Right?

Once again from scratch.

Well ...

Something I do not understand. The officers found a room in your ...

I heard something about you. Who do you hang out.

What you're doing is wrong. No, very bad!

I can do what I want.

So ... we will have to test your blood.

Has a lot of questions.

You are the only person of interest.

I do not plan to leave town any time soon? - I do not.

We will not stop searching even for an instant. - Just a moment, and continue, but ...

Before we go on all of this ...

you will need to sign the report of a missing person.

Stay close, miss.

Ryan ...

Ryan ...

You know, because ...

You know that you do not have to tell this, but ... - I know.

The case will remain open.

Indefinitely. Whatever it takes. - I know.

Hey, I said to myself, this is not about speculation.

It is about what we know and what is not.

I mean, we know that they lived not far from the man

which demonstrated the typical symptoms of a serial killer.

And it's just a matter of time ...

when these animals ...

His house was searched and he was questioned, that's all I know ...

Maybe it's just simply gone, leaving this mess and said:

I do not care all. Or something like that.

She has lived in the country. - Sometimes we went on a camping trip.

She went on a camping trip and was able to just go away ...

away from the camp itself and be just fine.

And her sister?

She used the drug, the drug is kept in an apartment ...

She ran off. She picked up her bag, and went back.

Maybe they escaped together.

No

No

Just because you can not invent a scenario that took Tricia

out of the apartment and out of range, with a baby in arms, happy and satisfied ...

I know. - Living without money, no credit cards and no car.

This does not mean that such a scenario does not exist.

Of course that means.

Strange things are happening. People disappear, some find.

No she did not wish the worst.

Never.

Not them.
