Dark Water Page #6
That's...
unbelievable.
What do my parents have to do with this?
That's my question exactly.
What's more relevant is that your husband
says you suffer from crippling migraines
and paranoid delusions.
He says he will submit school reports
that show your daughter
is beginning to share your fantasy life.
"Cecilia is now having trouble
distinguishing between
what is real and what is not."
It's a lie. It's a lie.
In child custody briefs, it's standard
to make these kinds of accusations.
Don't take it too seriously.
But I do need to know what, if anything,
in your husband's narrative
has some semblance, some shred of fact
that he might produce in court.
Well, I get migraines.
Yeah. That's true.
But they have never interfered
with my ability to do anything.
You can talk to my doctor about that. He will
tell you they have certainly never crippled me.
Um...
As for Ceci, I think
she's a little bit lonely right now.
Her father's abandoned her and she was
forced to move from her neighborhood.
So...
she's developed an imaginary friend.
But that's normal.
That's fine. But for future reference, when
you're talking to, for example, a judge,
I would stay away from phrases like,
"her father's abandoned her".
It's important, when the other side
is being so melodramatic,
- to sound like we're the sane ones.
- Right.
- That's all I am saying.
- OK.
- I'd like to notch that.
- Oh, yeah, man.
Hey, sweetheart.
- Mommy?
- Yeah.
- Look what Daddy gave me.
- Wow.
- That's great, You're so lucky.
- Listen, next Saturday's a problem.
Can we do Sunday and I will bring her
first thing in the morning
for school on Monday?
Yeah. Yeah, that's fine.
- Come on, honey. Say bye to Daddy.
- Bye, Daddy. Thanks for the Barbie.
- Did you do that ponytail by yourself?
- Yeah.
- It's a good one.
- Thanks.
- I like the collar.
- Thanks.
Honey, you know what,
I forgot to do something.
Will you wait right here for me?
- Don't go anywhere, OK?
- OK.
Be right back.
Two...... one.
Ceci?
Ceci? Stay in the elevator.
I am bringing you down.
Ceci, can you hear me?
Bake me a cake as fast as you can.
Roll it, pat it and mark it with a B.
- No more pretending to play with Natasha.
- She won't let me.
Well, then you stop talking to her.
You tell her I said so.
You tell her your mommy said
you can't play with her any more.
OK, Mommy.
- Hello?
- Hi, Mr. Platzer.
I am sorry to call you late,
but I think my husband...
Mrs. Williams, it's Sunday night.
I can't talk.
Yeah, I know. I am sorry. I just need
to tell you this as soon as possible.
I think my husband
Either that or he's hoping
that I am going to act crazy.
- Hang on. Let me call you right back.
- OK.
You say neither of the Rimskys
are living there?
No, no one's there.
I mean, he must be paying these kids
to mess around with the water
and the backpack. And the elevator.
I went into the elevator the other day
and the buttons were burned off.
Mrs. Williams, it's Sunday night
and I am at the movies with my family.
If I don't want to be handling
my own divorce, I got to get back. So...
I will call you tomorrow
and we will sort this out. All right?
Yeah. Absolutely.
Get down.
This time make sure
you put it in the garbage truck.
- Where did you...
- Those kids have been playing games,
moving it around the building.
And they were upstairs again so now
there's water all over my bedroom floor.
- They're running the water again?
- Mm-hm.
change the lock on 10F.
Murray didn't authorize it.
He has to send me a 112B form.
- Look, is the plumber here yet?
- No, no. It's only 8:15.
OK, look. I left a message for Mr. Murray.
I told him I need my problem fixed first.
So when the plumber gets here,
send him up to my apartment
or you and Murray
can both talk to my lawyer. OK?
Do you remember
what we talked about last night?
- Yes, Mommy.
- OK.
See you later, OK?
- Hello.
- Hi. Jeff Platzer here.
- Hi, Mr. Platzer.
- Listen, I did a little homework on Rimsky
and I think I turned up the missing mother
in a hospital in San Diego.
Why are you looking for her?
I figured the Rimskys might want to know
their apartment's being used by strangers.
Mrs. Williams, we're never going to prove
your husband's behind this harassment.
And trying to do that is just playing
his game. He wants you to look paranoid.
We got to deal with this straight,
as if it's all on the level.
So that's what we will do,
we will play it straight.
I am due in court, I will call you
when I get ahold of Mrs. Rimsky.
In the meantime, just sit tight.
- I will. Thanks so much.
- OK.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- Abigail's making a storm, sweetheart.
- Done.
Done? You remember you have
to sign your name so you know whose it is.
You don't want me to take that home
and say I did it, do you?
I like that. Pirates?
Stop it.
Stop it, I told you, leave me alone.
- We have got rainbows...
- Stop it.
Stop it.
Stop it.
Stop it.
You're going to get cleaned up
and when you're done
you're going to come back and sit with me
and we will read a story together.
Then maybe we will talk about your friend.
Go on.
Ceci.
Go away.
- Where is she?
- She passed out in the bathroom.
We don't know what happened.
There was water all over the place.
- We took her to the hospital.
- Hospital?
We just wanted to check her out.
It's school policy. We couldn't reach you.
I had an emergency at work,
I didn't get my messages for two hours.
We called her father
and he's going to meet her at the hospital.
- OK. Which hospital?
- It's the one right here on the island.
Kyle took her.
They released her and he took her.
- Did they say what was wrong?
- They said, you know, it's nothing serious.
She fainted but...
I am trying to find him. I called his home
number, I called his cell phone number,
and he's avoiding me
so I need to know what to do.
Can I go to his apartment?
Mrs. Williams, I need you to calm down.
I need it, your daughter needs it.
Just calm down, OK?
I am sorry. I know you don't know me,
but you have to believe me.
I am not crazy, I am really not.
- I believe you, Mrs. Williams.
- I am really not.
Just go home. Your husband and your
daughter are probably waiting for you.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Ceci.
Ceci.
- No new messages.
- Oh, God.
- Hello?
- Hello? It's Jeff. Are they there?
- No.
- They're not there? No.
There is no message.
There's water everywhere.
Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Williams, calm down.
Calm down.
- She can't be here.
- What do you want me to do?
Oh, God.
I can't be her mother,
I don't know how to be myself.
Ceci.
I hate you.
Get away from me, you little b*tch.
I hate you.
F***.
I hate you. I hate you.
B*tch.
Sorry about this. I really had no idea.
I would have come down myself
