Faces In The Crowd Page #6

Synopsis: The elementary school teacher Anna Marchant lives with her boyfriend Bryce in a nice apartment and every now and then she meets her best friends Francine and Nina to drink and talk. When Anna is crossing a bridge to meet Bryce, she sees an infamous serial-killer killing a woman. Anna runs but she is attacked by the killer and she falls off the bridge and hits her head. Anna stays in coma for a week and when she awakes, she learns that she has brain damage followed by Prosopagnosia, a disorder of face perception where the ability to recognize faces is impaired, while the ability to recognize other objects may be relatively intact. The police detective Sam Kerrest unsuccessfully tries to force Anna to remember the face of the serial-killer. Now the serial-killer knows that Anna has seen his face, but she is incapable of even recognizing Bryce and her close friends.

the right choice. "

Hey, it's Anna.

Bryce called

and he wants

to meet up and...

and I guess I just

owe him that.

So, anyway.

The address of where I'll be

Hello, Anna.

It's me.

I know.

Only a one-armed man

could tie a knot

worse than you.

I caught a cold when

I was in the detention

cell, believe it or not.

Hey, I'm taking

this scumbag with me.

Come on.

Watch your head.

Look, I

I've acted like

a total a**hole.

And-and not just

the other evening.

For a long

time now.

And I'm sorry.

Excuse me.

Here's your drinks.

Bryce, you know

I don't like champagne.

I thought

it felt right.

Tickets to Vegas.

And after

I squeeze out

a couple rug-rats...

we'll buy some

old money pit and...

slide contentedly

off into senility.

Oh, God. Bryce,

l-l tried.

I really did.

Every time your face

kept changing, I tried

so hard.

And you know

what I found out?

That the way you look

or don't look each morning,

it really wouldn't matter...

if I truly loved you.

Uh, I--

I really didn't

expect this...

after getting

your text message.

I'm sorry,

I'll be right back.

Hey, has anybody

seen my cell phone?

Bryce!

We have to get out of here.

We've been set up.

I think he's here.

Yo, Columbo.

You got a light?

Five new messages.

Hey, it's Anna.

Bryce called and

he wants to meet up.

And I guess I just owe him

that. Anyway, the address

where I'll be--

Sh*t, sh*t,

sh*t, sh*t!

It's Kerrest.

Leave a message.

Hi, it's Anna.

I can't get--

Thanks for

letting me

smoke, man.

Relaxed. Not like

that pig who took my

smoke at the line-up.

You should've

smacked that prick.

No smoking.

He's behind

the mirror.

Come on, you're one

scratch away from

a perfect DNA match.

/ learned to keep

my mouth shut and

trust what Lanyon says.

Whatever happens, Anna...

don't let

the music stop.

Bryce.

Kiss me.

Think, Lydia. Lanyon

was at the line-up. He had

access to all the evidence.

The kid was the perfect

smokescreen. It all fits.

No, screw the backup.

We don't have

Anna! Anna, wait!

Dammit.

Hey, man, where

are you going?

Grey shirt.

Black jacket.

Look out!

Anna! Anna!

Anna!

Lanyon, drop it.

Drop the gun, shithead.

It's me. Don't listen

to him. He's Lanyon.

I'm Kerrest.

Anna, run!

Stay right there.

Drop the gun.

You drop it.

Lanyon.

Anna.

Where are you?

Anna, it's me.

Anna! Make sure

you stay hidden.

Backup's gonna be here.

First, there's

a bloody kid...

who sees me off his mother.

You think he 'II tell someone?

No. Not a single

peep in a year.

The traumatized

little f***er.

And then there's

you, Anna.

You saw me crying

when that's

That's not a Howe d.

It wa-it was

a miracle.

You lost all the other

faces because of it.

Oh, no, no, no,

you're not doing your

little diving act again.

Goddammit, Anna.

The safety catch.

This, Anna, is why

I like blades so much.

Anna!

Anna.

Don't move!

I mean it.

It's me, Anna.

If we stay here,

we'll make one

hell of a target.

Now, give me

back my gun.

Stay where you are.

I mean it.

Anna, on-on

Koel Island...

there's a school

with half a dozen

pupils.

You recognize me now?

What did you promise me

before you left?

What did you say?

Very good.

I could have told

Lanyon about the weekend...

but that's something

only I can know, right?

Anna.

Look out!

I knew...

you were the one...

who'd end

this sh*t.

Give me the gun.

Here.

/ guess...

you will

never take her...

to the police ball.

Oh, no.

Oh, God.

Oh, God,

no, no.

No, no.

Please, don't-don't move.

Don't move, please.

I'm fine.

Seriously, I'm fine.

Don't leave me.

Please, don't leave me.

You can't leave me.

Oh, God.

Sh, don't move.

Yc-iTM find

someone else.

You'll see.

Yc-iTM find

someone else.

You don't have

the right to leave me.

I love you.

I know you don't.

I'm just another

face in the crowd.

Don't leave.

Stay with me.

No.

Don't leave me!

Don't go!

Oh, no, no, no.

Please, don't go.

I live here now.

The school board accepted

my transfer request.

/ can identify each

of my pupils perfectly.

As well as the handful

of people who live here

in the off season.

Nina comes to see me

from time to time.

She's still single.

I'm just taking it

one step at a time.

Sometimes I see a face...

and for a second

it's like I

see him again.

It's the only way

I can keep his face

in my memory.

Mommy!

But when I look

into her face...

whatever it was

that let him

get through to me...

he passed it

on to her.

And just when I thought

I'd lost e very thing...

/ found a face.

One face...

in which I can

always read...

love.
