He was standing there.

There's nobody now, is there?

There.

Everything's going to be okay now.

- Thank you, Mommy.

- You wanna sleep with me?

Yeah. Can I bring Julia?

Yes. I'll get her.

Hey, who let the cat out?

Lillian?

Mary?

Mary?

Lillian!

Mary!

Oh, no! Oh, my god!

Oh, my god. Oh, Lillian.

Oh, Jesus. Lillian.

Help, somebody!

Oh, Jesus.

Mary. Oh, Jesus.

Mary, Mary-

Oh, my god.

Mommy, what's going on?

There's been an accident. Come on.

- What's going on?

- We have to make a phone call.

Okay. All right.

We'll call back in the morning.

Thanks, doctor.

- She's gonna be okay.

- Thank god.

- Let's go. Let's get out of here.

- Okay.

Let's go get Mary.

I love you, sweetie. Sleep tight.

What if Mary had been in the apartment?

It could have been Mary.

Harvey?

' Hmm?

I'm gonna ask the police

to reinvestigate Jack's death.

I know there's a connection

between all these things.

I think you outta try to get some sleep.

We'll talk about it in the morning.

- I can't stop thinking about Jack.

- I know.

You should have seen the way he lived,

the way he grew up.

I didn't even know who he was.

Everything I believed in was a lie.

- Hi, Ellen.

- Good morning.

You have a message.

Someone calling for a Rosalie Sullivan.

She said it was urgent,

needs to see you right away.

- Don't you need the address?

- Got it.

Mrs. Sullivan?

Mrs. Sullivan, are you here?

Mrs. Sullivan?

Mrs. Sullivan?

You bastard! You bastard!

- Why did you do this to me?

- Let me talk to you.

- No. I hate you.

- Let me talk to you.

Listen to me. Let me talk to you.

Let me talk, okay?

No!

Jack was my only friend.

When I couldn't afford to go to college,

he educated me.

He, uh...

he told me what books to read.

He took me to the Metropolitan,

to the Frick.

He was everything I ever wanted to be.

The night he died...

it was, uh...

It was a dream,

a nightmare.

I just became him.

I was the one who cleaned out

his apartment, his papers,

his degree, his passport.

Everything was there. I just took it.

It didn't seem like a lie. It seemed real.

Everybody believed me.

I had all the credentials.

And after a while, I believed it myself

until one day a man appeared at my office,

Daniel Sherman.

Yeah.

He knew me when we were kids.

He knew Frank Sullivan.

He wanted money... a lot of money.

He made forgeries and I had to switch

them for the originals.

- Who did I bury?

- You buried a hitchhiker.

He was killed in the crash.

His neck was broken.

- Oh, god.

- He was my way out.

I thought that if I could disappear,

I could protect you and Mary.

Being dead was the price

I had to pay to keep you safe.

Why didn't you tell me any of this?

I thought of telling you

a thousand, thousand times.

But I could not bear to have

you think of me this way.

Or Mary.

I wanted her to remember me from the...

pictures in that stupid photo album.

Adrienne, I need your help.

I didn't give Sherman one of the pieces,

an Egyptian necklace.

It must be in the loft.

I need you to find it.

I know this man. He is a killer.

He killed Tomasz.

We have to find this necklace and give it

to this Sherman and...

until we do, you're not gonna be safe

and Mary's not gonna be safe.

Adrienne,

I don't expect any sympathy from you.

I never wanted to do this to you.

But I thought I had no choice.

I'm a dead man now.

I'll never see Mary again...

and I'll never be with you again.

- Hello?

- Hi. It's me.

I'm calling because I was worried

about you going

back there and being alone.

I was wondering if I

shouldn't be there with you?

No.

Okay, I understand.

That's not the only reason I was calling.

After seeing you I...

I realized how much I still love you.

And how sorry I am for all the lies.

For all of it.

I don't blame you for not answering.

I don't blame you at all.

Call me tomorrow.

Give me until then, okay?

All right.

Okay. Yeah.

Bye. Bye.

Daddy.

- Number 23, was it?

- Yes.

Right there.

- Could you wait here?

- Sure.

Thank you.

I'm on the phone. Come on in.

Baby's fine. I felt him kicking.

No, I'm doing fine.

Hold on, there's someone here.

Can I help you?

- Mrs. Sherman?

- Yes.

Sorry. I thought you were the packers.

Calm down, Jack!

Go on.

In spite of his size, he's still a puppy.

- What can I do for you?

- This picture, where did you get it?

Would you mind telling me what you want?

Where did you get this picture?

It's my husband's sister.

She died in a plane crash.

What is all...

Listen, uh... yeah.

Blonde, yeah.

My husband wants to talk to you.

- Yes.

- So you found us.

That's pretty amazing.

I never expected this.

This complicates everything.

Now, listen to me. I have Mary.

Mary's with me. Don't worry.

She's not gonna get hurt.

I need you to get that necklace, Adrienne.

Mary said she traded it

with her friend, Carol.

Since I can't go to the Gingolds,

I thought it'd be good if you contact them

and try to get it back.

We can meet tonight at the loft.

I can handle things from there.

I wouldn't say anything to the police

or Cathy, if I were you.

It might complicate things

more than they already are.

Want to say hello to Mary?

- Here.

- Mommy?

Mommy, daddy's here. He's really here.

Nine o'clock, okay?

Say bye-bye to Mommy.

- Bye-bye, Mommy.

- Bye-bye, Mommy.

Okay, let's go.

Watch out.

I understand, but it isn't the best time.

We have guests.

I apologize. I wouldn't

bother you normally...

but I have to have that necklace tonight.

No, she said I could have this!

I know, but the necklace isn't a toy.

Daddy!

She said I could have it

and now she wants it back.

This is confusing for Carol.

I'm sure it is, but this happens to be

a valuable piece of jewelry.

I know how you feel. It's very confusing

when grown-ups do things that aren't fair.

These things happen in life.

For Christ's sake. Isn't anybody

in charge around here?

We forgot about you, didn't we?

Do you have it?

- Where's my daughter?

- She's fine.

She's playing with her coloring books.

She's in the car.

I wanna go see her.

Oh!

I don't know who you are.

Sure you do. I'm your husband.

Wasn't I a good husband?

Didn't I make you happy?

Didn't you feel understood?

Didn't you feel loved?

Isn't that what it's all about?

You're sick.

I wanna get Mary.

You love me. Now give me the necklace.

Or what?

You gonna kill me too?

No.

I'm gonna kiss you.

I don't wanna hurt you,

but I will if I have to.

That's love, too.

You still love me, don't you?

Yes.

Agh!

Adrienne?

Adrienne!

Oh... come on.

Adrienne? Adrienne!

Hi.

There's no place to go now, Adrienne.

Now there's nowhere to hide.

I don't wanna hurt you, Adrienne.

I never wanted to hurt anybody!

But when I have to do something, I do it.

I always do whatever comes next...

no matter how difficult it is.

If I have to do something, then I do it.

I always do whatever comes next...

no matter how difficult it is!

Now...

give me the necklace, Adrienne.
