raising their children

in a proud home.

I just need you to look to the future,

that's all.

Forget the past.

M-My body.

Oh, it hurts.

The shocks can leave a little

bit of an aftereffect.

Please make it stop.

Oh, please.

Oh, make it stop.

Do you love me?

Do you?

Yes.

I love you too.

Do you want this to stop?

Yes.

Well, I want something too.

I want a baby.

Isn't that what every wife

wants from her husband?

A baby?

I want a baby,

a family to call my own.

Do you want this to stop?

Yes. Yes.

Give me a family, and it will.

Give and take.

That's what a good marriage

is about.

Memories are wonderful,

don't you think?

I know you were curious,

since you looked

at my family album.

I always know

when you look at my things.

You don't put them back

properly.

Why are there no photos of us?

Where are they?

That's not you.

None of them are you.

Hello.

How are you, Dave?

Always great when I can see you.

Oh, aren't you sweet.

I have a piece of registered mail.

I need your signature for it.

Oh.

Just a minute.

Why don't you come in.

Go into the kitchen.

I'll be right there.

All right.

You need to behave

when we have guests.

That's for good measure.

Is everything all right?

I found you a pen.

Oh, thank you.

Let me get that.

What are you doing?

You want to know more about me?

Look at me when I talk to you.

You want to know more

about my past?

Or would you like to know more

about your past?

What?

About what happened

the night of the accident.

When are you going to tell me?

You really don't know?

No.

How could I?

Honey,

I put things to sleep

for a living...

and they don't wake up.

Did you know that?

I don't f***ing care.

This is what dreams are made of.

One day you'll wish

you cared more.

Who is she?

I keep seeing her...

in my dreams.

Is she my daughter?

Is she our daughter?

Please just tell me she's okay.

I have work to do.

Hey, listen. I'm swamped.

I'm gonna work from the office.

Swing your squad car

by the bird streets,

where... Magpie

meets Mockingbird.

Check that out.

What do I think?

I think he had a stroke

and is dead,

lying under a bush

with a bag of undelivered mail.

All right.

Let me know.

Help!

Help!

Help me!

Help!

Help!

Help me!

Help!

I'm in here!

Help!

I'm in here!

Help!

She should have left

our family alone.

Did you know that the bottle cap

is more expensive to produce...

than the actual bottle itself?

I am up out of my chair.

This had better be important.

Oh, hell, I don't know.

Well, maybe she just ran off

with the mailman.

Did you call the officer?

Did you go by her house?

No?

Well, here's a theory...

She's at home

putting her kid to sleep.

Oh, and another thing...

She is off-duty.

All right.

I will knock on a few doors on my way home.

Now, if I come up missing,

you'll know one thing...

I will be dead.

You wanted to know

more about yourself.

I hope you're ready.

It's okay.

Don't cry.

Shh.

Oh, my God.

You don't even remember

our own daughter, Audrey?

Don't tell me you don't

at least remember her.

She's been a bad girl.

I had to put her in time-out.

Don't hurt her.

Please.

You can't do this.

That is up to you.

- Let her go.

- I will.

Once you agree

to get me pregnant.

I need another child.

Audrey has just grown up

so quickly.

Everything's gonna be fine.

Okay?

Whatever you want.

Please, let her out.

That's a good start.

Are you gonna be a good girl?

Good.

Move on.

Don't we look beautiful?

Don't ruin your makeup.

Honey,

I have a surprise for you.

Now, don't we look

like the perfect family?

Go on, honey.

I think it's finally time

to tell Daddy...

what happened

the night of the accident.

Don't!

Help me.

Help me, please.

If you'd like to make

a call, please hang up and try again.

Thirsty.

Family is forever.

No matter what.

As long as you're alive,

counting together

other people's happy moments...

as if they're your own...

Your life,

your memories,

are what you want them to be.

Did you know

that Walter Freeman invented...

what is called

the ice pick lobotomy?

Freeman would hammer the pick

just above the tear duct...

and wiggle it around.

From 1936 to 1950,

the physician would travel

cross-country in a van he called...

the lobotomobile...

to demonstrate the procedure

to medical centers.

This was heralded as

a great advance in surgery,

and was advocated as a general

cure to all perceived ills,

including misbehavior

in children.

I have never done

an ice pick lobotomy before,

and I would never do

my first one on Audrey.

I know it's a little extreme.

I never intended to do this,

but I get the feeling that the two

of you will never be happy here.

At least thank me for having the

good sense to try one on you first,

instead of Audrey.

Hmm.

Now, who could be calling

at this time of night?

Sorry to bother you, ma'am.

I'm investigating a missing persons report.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I-I haven't seen anyone.

I'm running a bath.

Will you excuse me?

Thank you.

You ruined my floor.

You ruined my floor!

Dad?

Relax.

You're safe now.

My daughter...

What's wrong with her?

Is she...

You are lucky to be alive.

Where...

Is she okay? Wh...

What's wrong with her?

I'm her father.

Where am I?

Where...

What happened to my daughter?

Left with a question.

Question?

Is she okay?

My daughter?

Is she okay?

Is she here?

She is? Is she...

Is she okay?

What?

My daughter.

Is my daughter okay? Is sh-she...

Now rest.

Oh, my God.

I need my daughter.

My daughter.

My daughter, I...

I need to see her.

I need to see my d...

I need to...

I'm her father.

I'm her father.

Dad!

I'm the detective

assigned to your case.

Oh.

Well, I need your help,

Detective.

Oh, I'm sure you do.

You know how you got here?

No.

Shall we hold hands

as we walk down memory lane?

Let's start with Audrey.

My daughter.

Why do you think

she's your daughter?

B-Because she is.

How do you know

she is your daughter?

She...

She told me that she was.

Who?

My wife.

What's your wife's name?

I don't know.

What's your name?

I don't know.

All I know is

I have a daughter...

named Audrey.

Not your daughter.

Audrey Williams,

daughter of Mason Williams.

A very wealthy individual.

When she went missing,

a ransom note appeared

in the mail.

We have to do this.

We need the

money for my treatments.

If you want a baby,

let's do this.

If I want a baby?

If we want a baby.

That's what makes us

a happy family.

Do you care to tell me how your

handwriting got on the ransom note?

Got this handwriting sample

from your house.

No, no.

No.

We know you kidnapped her.

Audrey identified you.

Hi there, darlin'.

We're new to the area.

We're a little lost.

Would you mind helping us?

Thank you.

So... Just take the left to,

uh... after...

Mm-hmm.

You're facing a lot of time.

To the fact, the three murder victims

we found in the basement of the house...
