Faults Page #2
Everything is explained
clearly and concisely on the
Page in your hands, but
yes this is about the book.
Now you're to be back
in the city in a week.
Because of your relationship,
well, terry would like for you
Have that week to come
up with the money.
Now this is very, very
considerate of him, so it is
Strongly advised that you
be able to pay what you owe.
Can I just give
him the books back?
One week.
Good morning, Mr. Roth.
Oh, I was just leaving.
Uh, thanks for the book again.
Okay, that's fine.
Can we buy you breakfast?
Yes.
Our daughter is not well.
She's someone else.
Certainly doesn't listen to us.
She's not around
to listen to us.
We haven't seen her for
months, and we're not talking
About her not obeying.
She's an adult, but...
it's like she's cut
off from the world.
What is the name of the group?
They call themselves "faults."
Oh, I haven't heard of that one.
Who's the founder?
We don't know.
Uh, no one knows
anything about them.
We don't know how Claire
came to find them.
Well, when's the last
time you spoke with her?
Oh, about a week
ago on the phone.
Mhmm.
And what did she say?
I told her that we were
worried about her,
We missed her...
how'd she react to that?
She told me that
she had found god.
That she had made love to it
the night before
While others watched.
Yeah, that does sound troubling.
We have tried everything.
Are you still
supporting her financially?
No, we cut her off last year.
Does she have a car?
Well, they tried to sell
it, but it's in my name.
You're lucky. They usually sell
off items of value
To fund the group.
Uh, Claire reported it stolen.
The next day it showed
up in our driveway.
That's good.
It was on fire.
Have you tried a family
intervention
Or exit counseling?
We did.
Thanksgiving.
The group discourages
interactions with
Family and friends.
Especially on what they
call "days of fault-sities."
Holidays.
We convinced her to come.
That it would be okay.
As soon as she saw what it
was, she immediately
Turned violent.
There was an anger in her
eyes, I-I don't know if this'll
Make any sense but...
as weak as she was
physically, emotionally...
I saw a strength in
her I had never seen.
I don't want to lose
my daughter, Mr. Roth.
There is...
One other option you, you...
you have here.
Are you familiar
with deprogramming?
I-Is that what you
did with that man?
That man from last night?
His sister, yes.
daughter away from the group.
You're talking about
kidnapping my Claire?
Under the legal definition, yes,
But it's for her own good.
We would take her far away.
know where she was, but more
Importantly, where no one else
would be able to find her.
of breaking her down.
Making her question the
group's beliefs and their
Innate contradictions.
W-What are the chances of
something like this working?
Well, in the end, there is a
50% chance you will have your
Daughter back.
And a 50% chance that
we'll lose her forever.
Evelyn...
no, yes, no.
No.
She's absolutely right.
I need to be honest with you.
The chances of this working
are even less than that.
This is extremely dangerous
for everyone involved,
Especially Claire.
But, if you believe in the
deepest part of yourselves
That you have done everything
you can to save her, and yet
She continues to fall away
from you,
You have to ask yourselves
"How far am I willing to go?"
Y'all save room for dessert?
No thank you.
No.
No thank you.
Alright.
Well it was a pleasure
serving y'all today.
Come back and see
us again real soon.
Oh, thank you, for the
breakfast Paul and Evelyn.
That does bring me to one last
point if you do decide to go
Ahead with what we just
talked about doing.
I don't know how to say this
without sounding insensitive,
But...
well, it will not be cheap.
Jefferson and high street!
I don't know what
you're trying to say!
I can't hear sh*t through this.
What?
We're a block away!
In and out!
And remember, no names!
Idiots...
ready?
Shut the f*** up!
I want to get as close as
possible so I can back in.
What number are we again?
That's the second floor.
They didn't have any
non-Smoking rooms left on the
First floor.
Why does that matter?
None of us smoke.
Go to the office, tell them
you made a mistake and you
Want something on
the first floor.
But this is adjoining
with the other one.
They're already here.
Wait wait, sign says
"don't back in."
Alright, we have to
We don't want to draw any
attention to ourselves, okay?
I need one of you to go to the
room with my things and the
Other with her and me.
Okay, I know you're probably a
little confused about what is
Happening right now.
All you need to know is
that I am your friend.
These two men who are with me
are not your friends, okay?
In a few moments, we're going
to step out of this van, we're
Going to walk across
this parking lot...
we're going to go up a flight
of stairs, down a walkway, and
Into a room.
If you do anything stupid,
I will still be your friend.
These two men who are not
your friends will hurt you.
Do not do anything stupid.
I cannot stress this enough.
And I promise you, everything
will be alright, okay?
Nod if you believe me.
Open the door.
Hey, john, can you tell us a
Little bit about some of the
prizes tonight?
Yes...
Sit.
Why is there just the one bed?
Never mind.
Where are my things?
You, come here.
You have my car here?
In the back row
near the lamp post.
Where's my money?
Take the van straight
back to the lot.
No stopping except for gas.
Is there a per diem for that?
Yes.
There's an extra $30 in there
to go along with your share.
That should take care of it.
You are not to contact us.
Do not speak of this to anyone.
You understand? No one.
One last thing.
He vouched for you and
I appreciate your help.
I said no one lays
a hand on her.
You should not have done that.
And what the f*** you
gonna do about it?
That was not a smart thing you
did back there with the car.
I hope something like that
does not happen again.
Remember, I am here to help.
Help?
I know right now that
makes little sense.
What do you want with me?
I'll explain things
to you in the morning.
I just want to go home.
And you will.
I promise.
Make sure she doesn't sleep.
Mm.
Alright.
How did she do?
Well, she didn't move a muscle.
Well that's good.
This is going to sound bad and
I probably shouldn't tell you
This, but I know I fell asleep
Cat naps or whatever.
Mhm, you're right.
That does sound bad.
Reason I'm telling you this
is because, well she, she
Could've done something,
but she didn't.
Hm.
I have to get ready.
Hey, how much
longer you gonna be?
I need to take off.
C-Coming!
Are you okay?
Fine. Everything's fine.
