Eye for an Eye

Mommy.

Mama! Mommy!

Mama! Mommy!

- No, Mama!

- I'm coming.

- Megan?

- There's a moth, Mommy.

It's all right.

Kill it, Mommy. Please, kill it.

Kill it, Mommy. Please, kill it.

Even if you're car-pooling, you'll

find the going difficult this morning...

No matter how early I start,

I'm always late.

- You all done?

- Yeah.

Eyes, lips?

- Everything just the way you want it?

- I think so.

- You look great.

- Thank you.

Wonderful, I won't be late today.

Ou est le livre?

Le livre est sur la table.

- Le table.

- Sur le table.

- Do it again.

- Le livre est sur le table.

Very good.

- Do I look like a fairy princess?

- Yes, you do.

- Can I open a present now?

- Not till the party.

Do you want crust on your sandwich?

- No crust on your sandwich?

- I'll buy today.

My goodness, it's a beautiful

fairy princess. Good morning.

- Can I have one of my presents?

- Wait for your party.

- Do you want a sandwich, Mack?

- Yes.

- Is that my shirt you're wearing?

- Mais oui, c'est tres chic.

- Morning, Carol. Morning, children.

- Morning.

- Yes, I'm late.

- Dolly's waiting.

- I'm always late.

- OK, here we go.

- Obviously, it's a Work in Progress.

- But you can surely see its potential.

- Yes, it's impressive.

- Here you are.

After you make a selection, your choice

will come up on one of the 57 monitors...

Fourteen looks close.

Thirteen's up.

Turn up the brightness.

- Sure.

- Thank you.

...the walkway that was

right behind your room.

Get it to his office today,

I want to be in that issue.

What have we got?

- One turkey, one vegetarian.

- Mustard?

- On the turkey.

- What a pal. Thank you.

- What are we drinking?

- Iced tea.

I've got the ice cream.

The cake's being delivered.

- Sweet 'n' Low.

- Sugar, no lemon.

- The ice sculpture will be there.

- Ice sculpture? For six-year-olds?

You don't know these six-year-olds.

And... these.

And a few more red ones.

Stop honking the horn.

What's going on?

- Hello?

- Why are you home?

I skipped soccer.

I wanted to help set up.

Is Maria there?

I sent her off with Megan,

to keep the decorations a surprise.

You're such a sweetie.

I'm afraid I'm gonna be late.

I'm in a horrific traffic jam.

- What else is new?

- All right.

- Did you pick up the balloons?

- Got the balloons.

I had an idea about the streamers...

Will you put some towels under the ice

sculpture, so it doesn't ruin the rug?

Hang on a second.

Someone's at the door. Coming.

Hi.

Julie?

What's happening?

- Julie?

- Stop!

Julia!

- I hear you, Julie.

- Mama!

I'll get help, Julie.

I'll hold the phone, I won't leave you.

Help me! Somebody help me!

Have you got a phone?

Stop, please!

- Help me!

- Move your car.

- You got a phone?

- No, move it.

No! No! No!

- I need you to call the police.

- No English.

Julie, do you hear me?

I won't hang up.

Julie, I won't leave you.

Can you phone the police for me,

please? Please, help me.

- Do you have a phone?

- Yes.

Call the police. Send them to my house

at 244 Eden Street in the Palisades.

Julie, I've got help.

Can you hear me? I'll get there, Julie.

I'll get there.

Help is coming, Julie.

Help me!

I'll stay with you. Can you hear me?

The police are on their way.

I won't hang up the phone.

Julie? Julie?

Who's there?

Do you want something?

Are you OK? Wait a minute.

Taxi.

If you want to make a call, hang up

and try again. If you need help...

Answer the phone.

- Excuse me, you can't go in there.

- It's my house.

- I live here.

- I'm sorry. Please.

- You don't want to go in there.

- Julie!

- Ma'am. I'm sorry.

- Julie.

Please tell me, is she all right?

- Is she all right?

- Ma'am, relax.

I have to know. Please...

I heard her,

I heard her, I heard her.

- Do you remember what she said?

- I was supposed to be there.

- Do we have to do this now?

- Sorry, it helps to get it fresh.

- Honey, can you do this?

- Yes. I'm all right.

It's OK. Just try

to remember anything you can.

I was talking to her

on the phone about the...

...about the party decorations.

I cut her off, then she was calling me

and I couldn't get to her.

Shouldn't you be after

him or looking for fingerprints?

This information is very important.

Ma'am, did your daughter,

your stepdaughter, sir,

hang out with anyone

involved with drugs?

- No.

- She was a straight arrow.

Or a boyfriend? A guy she'd

broken up with? Even a year ago?

No, nothing like that.

- Let's go.

- All right.

She was a good kid.

If anything comes to mind,

a name, a face,

someone with a reason to do this,

please call me, Mr and Mrs McManus.

- McCann.

- Sorry.

- Just catch this animal, will you?

- I'll certainly do the best I can.

Sh*t.

Hell, here we go.

Hey, buddy.

Oh, Karen, I'm so sorry.

- Hi, Peter.

- Mack.

- Is Megan all right?

- Yes.

I've gotta call Larry.

- He's her father.

- I'll call.

- I don't even have his number.

- I'll do it.

I haven't talked to him in so long.

- Where's Megan?

- Downstairs, asleep in our bed.

Mommy.

Mommy.

Mama, you slept in your clothes.

- Mack?

- I'm up.

Daddy, why did we...

Let's shake this up. Hey.

- Hi, Mama.

- Hi, sweetie.

Why did we sleep at Dolly's house?

Where's Julie?

Did Julie sleep here, too?

Julie, ah...

Where? Where is she?

Megan, sometimes things happen.

Bad things. Even to the people

we love the most in the whole world.

- What happened?

- Well, Julie...

Morning, everyone.

- Hello, little pumpkin.

- Morning.

- Want some eggs?

- I don't like eggs.

- How about English muffins?

- No.

- I'm so sorry.

- Hang in there.

I'm fine.

- Sharon.

- I don't know how to...

- Thanks for coming.

- My deepest sympathy.

- Sorry.

- My fault.

Karen, let me clear this up. Really.

- Karen, I'm so sorry.

- Aunt Flo.

She was our special girl, wasn't she?

You've got to move on,

to be strong for Megan.

Thank you, Aunt Flo.

I must see to the coffee.

- How are you holding up?

- Fine.

- Have you heard from Larry yet?

- Yes.

Mack finally reached him.

He was in Switzerland.

So he's on his way back?

No.

Oh, Karen, I'm sorry.

Talk about deadbeat dads.

He never bothered much

with her, anyway.

All those people out there... I gotta go.

- Mrs McCann?

- Yes.

I'm Gene Forest.

Julie's French teacher.

Oh, yes, Gene. I remember you.

- The class made this for you.

- Thank you.

- It's such a tragedy...

- That looks good. I'll try some.

Oh, my!

Aunt Helen, are you OK?

Up, up, up. It's Flo.

- What did she say?

- Her name's Flo.

Aunt Flo, are you...?

- Back to the chair.

- It's my hip.

Let's get her some water

or something.

Are you OK, Flo?

Megan?

I hate it when she runs off.

Mommy.

Mommy, Daddy.

Mommy.

- Wait for us.

- We'll be right down.

Megan.

Megan. Megan, come back.

Don't ever run off

so far ahead, do you hear?

Hey, are you OK?

Mommy just wants you to wait for us.

We want to see the skeletons, too.

- There you go.

- I... I thought...

- He was right behind her.
