I don't want that.

Look, can we just--

Think about this

for a second?

I've never been

closer to anyone

And I don't know you

at all.

( scoffs )

Maybe I should go stay

at my mom's until I sort

things out.

You're joking, right?

Why would you give up

everything you've done

just because of him?

And you're not leaving

new york to move back to--

Long island-- yuck.

Ma'am, I'm sorry.

Your card was declined.

What?

I--

- Try it again.

- Well, I already did.

- Um...

- I don't understand.

- Um--

- do you have

another card,

Or cash?

It's only $22.75.

- I know how much it is.

- Here.

What the hell are you

looking at?

Eat your salad.

I just need enough money

to get through school.

Look, I'm trying

to explain.

Your husband is the beneficiary

of a number of family trusts,

Most of which were set up

a long time ago.

- I know that.

- That means that as long

as you're married,

You can have

access to his money,

but if you separate,

If you divorce him,

you won't get any money,

because he doesn't have any.

Not of his own.

- Motherfuckers.

- Regardless,

Families like the marks

set their assets up this way

- To protect them

from divorces.

- Motherfuckers!

Okay, could you just not--

just not do that?

These people play hardball.

If you want a settlement,

You're gonna have to think

of a way to motivate them.

( thunder rumbling )

How was your day?

Good.

I... Had lunch

with lauren today.

What else

did you do today?

( crashes )

What the hell is that?

- ( knocking )

- someone's up on the terrace.

Call the police.

Oh god.

- Jesus, jesus.

- ( panting )

What happened?

What the hell happened?

- Kel, call the police.

- No no.

No!

No no no.

No no no...

Shh-shh, okay.

David.

Katie's next door

with us.

- She's scared to come home.

- Mm-hmm.

Well, we had a fight.

But it's nothing,

you know?

It's nothing.

I mean, it's not nothing,

But you can tell her

to come home.

It's over.

Will you tell her

to come home, please?

Actually I think she should

stay with us tonight.

Just let things

cool off between you.

Thank you.

Good night.

Thank you.

( lock clicks )

( typewriter clacking )

- Hi, lula.

- Hello, mrs. Marks.

- Um, is david in?

- No, he's upstairs

with his brother.

Okay, I'll be in his office.

I'm just gonna make some calls.

( ringing )

At the tone,

the time will be 11:59...

At the tone, the time

will be 11:
59 and 20 seconds.

At the tone,

the time will be

11:
59 and 40 seconds.

( elevator dings )

( dings )

( knocks )

I'm going to lunch

now, mrs. Marks.

Okay, lula.

Thanks.

At the tone,

the time will be

12:
10 and 40 seconds.

( beeps )

Good evening,

mrs. Marks.

( gasps )

- Send it back.

- Excuse me, sir?

It's a family matter.

It has nothing to do

with us.

It's not just that you

barely show up for work

Or that you can't control

your home situation,

When you are here,

you're stoned most of the time.

This is untenable.

There's an office on three.

It's out of the way.

No one will bother you.

You won't have to bother

with anything.

You keep your secretary,

get your mail...

I don't know

what else to say.

Dad?

Why couldn't you just have

given her what she wanted?

You're a very

weak man, david.

Lawyer:

Did there come a time

When your father

passed on control of

the marks organization?

Not to you, but to

your younger brother?

David:

Oh yeah, that's correct.

When that happened,

how did you feel?

I was glad.

Oh my god, katie.

- I'm sorry.

- No no, you said

you weren't coming.

Is everything okay?

Oh, I-- I don't know.

No. Is mom home?

No, she's still in florida.

( gasps )

oh!

I couldn't resist.

He--

Died when I was 16.

Uh, I don't remember much.

How did that happen,

you know?

And he does love me.

But I have to look out

for me now.

I have my whole

life to live.

Katie:

My father used to say

"we should never regret

the things we do,

Only the things

we don't do."

But...

I had-- I had an abortion.

And I don't know

what that is.

If it's something I did,

Or something I didn't do.

( line ringing )

David:

Hello?

David?

Katie?

Katie, don't cry.

- Don't cry.

- ( sniffs )

You have to let me go.

This is killing me.

Oh, I know,

I know.

I know that now.

Just come home.

I can make this better,

I promise.

Baby, just come home.

Please.

Please.

Katie?

Katie?

What are you

looking at?

Katie?

Hey, katie,

where are you going?

I'm going home.

I'll call you in the morning.

You can't drive like this.

You've been drinking.

Come on.

( door closes,

engine starts )

Come on.

( thunder rumbling )

( sighs )

- Hey.

- ( gasps )

What are you doing?

You hungry?

Where's ivan?

Um... The kennel.

Oh, why?

You know he hates it there.

Yeah, I know,

but he bit me.

Here.

I'm cold.

What is it?

You would have made

a good mother.

( panting )

( dragging shovel )

- ( gasps )

- ( thunder crashes )

( kettle whistling )

( door opens )

( closes )

( keys clatter,

liquor pouring )

Sanford:

So what am I doing here?

She must have hated you.

Your mother was a very

sick woman, david.

She wasn't always

like that though.

She was happy.

I did everything I could

for her, just like

I did for you.

Y-you-- you let me, uh...

Stay out there

and watch her jump.

I told the nanny

to take you inside.

That's not true.

You left me out there

to watch.

I saw her there,

you know?

On the driveway.

I thought

she was sleeping

So I tried

to wake her up.

- I touched her head--

- this is morbid.

Give me that.

How come you didn't

just pick me up, dad?

How come you just didn't

take me inside?

I thought if she saw you

standing there...

She wouldn't jump.

I'm going to bed.

Go home to your wife.

She's gone.

What are you

talking about?

Now I'm just like you.

( door opens )

David!

Lawyer:

Something happened

in 1982

That kinda turned

your world upside down.

David!

David:

Yes sir.

We, uh...

We went to the lake

for the weekend

And I put her on

the train to go back into

the city that evening

And that was the last time

I ever saw her.

But according to statements

made to the police

at the time

She was in fact

seen later that night

At your apartment

in the city.

Miss katie.

Yes sir.

Your doorman

said he saw her

the next morning,

Making a phone call

and getting

into a taxicab.

Is that correct?

Uh, yeah, that's correct.

So at the time

there was a substantial

investigation

Into katie's

disappearance.

Yes sir.

And were you ever

considered a suspect?

No.

Woman:

As you know,

katherine marks

Has been missing now

for five days.

David, her husband,

is very distraught.

And so he's asked that I speak

to you on his behalf.

Now the marks family is

offering a $15,000 reward

For any information

that leads

To the discovery

of katie's whereabouts.

I'm sorry, but,

uh, for the moment

That's all I'm able

to tell you. Thank you.

Thank you.

There'll be no more

questions at this time.
