Happy Birthday to Me Page #4

I must admit, some of your friends

have a macabre sense of humour.

I just hope these kids aren't

having an adverse effect on you.

They're not.

Listen, my birthday's Sunday,

and I'd like to invite you to dinner.

Why, I'd be delighted.

Virginia!

I've got to run.

Thanks, David.

Come on, let's go.

Old lady Patterson,

she was really out for blood today.

And Maggie! I thought she was

going to tear your balls off

after she got over

that joyous reunion.

Well, it all worked out for the best.

Now I can take Virginia to the dance.

Can't I, sweetheart?

By the way, where's Alfred?

God, not Alfred too.

Maybe we should all put in 20 bucks,

and the last one left takes all.

No, you see,

Alfred is not a "disappear-er. "

He's a "disappear-ee. "

A "disappear-ee"?

I can just see him

walking through the woods,

stalking out his latest victim.

Get serious, you guys!

I haven't seen him since this morning.

Nor have I.

How about you, Ginny? Have

you seen the phantom taxidermist?

Virginia!

Virginia!

Virginia!

Yeah, I'm watching it right now.

Now, look. Red and his crew are

on their way up from Houston.

I expect you to give them

all the cooperation you can.

Is that clear?

All right.

I'll be in Calgary

in approximately four hours.

A jet's standing by.

I want a chopper at the other end.

Thank you.

- How long will you be gone, Daddy?

- It's hard to say, honey.

As long as it takes

to get the damn thing out.

What about Sunday?

Sunday?

My God.

Your birthday.

Hey, glummy face.

Look. I'll be back, Ginny.

I'll be back by Sunday afternoon.

I promise.

- You really promise?

- I promise, honey.

I'll tell you what.

If you could find time in your busy

social schedule

to put on some fancy duds,

we'll go out on the town

and celebrate, just the two of us.

And you know something?

Your old dad will show you

some of his most incredible,

astonishing, fancy footwork.

- What do you say?

- Okay.

I've got to go.

You'll be all right here on your own.

Why don't you call a friend,

invite them over?

- I can always call David.

- Right.

See you Sunday.

Happy birthday.

- Have you seen Alfred?

- No.

Four down. Six to go.

- Come on, it's not funny.

- Who's laughing?

The cops are out there,

dragging the canal looking for bodies.

Rudi, you've got to do me a favour.

Go dance with Maggie.

- Whose idea is this?

- Hers. She's driving me nuts.

- Well...

- It's fine with me, Rudi.

I don't care who knows it.

I'm scared.

Don't worry about it.

I'll take you home.

- Let's get out of here.

- Aren't you having a good time?

Sure, but we could be having

an even better time.

Really? How?

We could go for a drive,

have a toke.

Just the two of us?

Just the two of us.

Shame on you, Steve.

What would my father say?

Luckily, he's away for the weekend.

I make real good midnight snacks.

You hungry?

Am I hungry?

Meet you outside.

Ann, what time are you

coming over tomorrow?

About noon, okay?

See you.

Wait.

- Where are you going?

- My place.

- With Steve?

- Yeah.

Smells good.

What's that?

I'm making yours nice and spicy.

- I like it spicy.

- Good.

Thank you.

Don't you like hot things?

Some hot things.

God, am I ripped!

My ass is burning.

Delicious.

Well, have some more.

- What time is it?

- Past noon.

Come on, it's time to get up.

I want to hear all the gory details

about you and Steve last night.

Last night?

What the hell was last night?

I don't remember anything.

Bullshit.

Just a minute.

I'll be right back.

Here are the keys. Come on up.

I'm going to take a shower.

Mommy, it doesn't matter.

Never. I'll never forget this.

They don't know how it hurts.

But they'll learn!

- But Daddy says...

- Never mind what Daddy says!

Where is he when we need him?

Mommy, be careful!

Crazy son of a b*tch!

Mommy, the bridge!

Mommy, watch out!

Watch out!

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

Back up!

Hurry!

Mommy, we have to get out!

The water's rising!

- We have to get out!

- We can still get out.

You can swim.

Take a deep breath,

and I'll open the window.

Mommy, I can't!

I'm afraid! I can't!

Virginia, do what Mommy says!

Go on, now. Take a deep breath

and swim to the surface.

Do it! Go!

David! David, help me!

Help me!

God, help me! David!

David, help me!

David, I killed her.

I killed her.

She's upstairs.

She's in the bathroom.

I killed her.

All right, come on.

Come on!

You come on!

You show me!

She's upstairs?

You show me, you hear?

Come on!

I don't want to see her!

Stop!

Look!

Look! Look!

Look at this.

Look!

Here. This should warm you up.

Thanks.

You know, we're coming

very close, Virginia.

You see, tonight you remembered

the accident at the bridge.

That's where it all started.

But, David, I don't understand.

Why would I think I killed Ann?

It may be very painful,

but, you see,

we've got to find the link between

your trauma and your friends.

The bridge.

The kids play chicken

on the bridge as it goes up.

They call it a game.

And they took you over the bridge?

Is this all a game?

Is it?

Well, I think I better stay here

until your father gets home.

Okay.

It's my birthday.

It's after twelve o'clock. So it is.

Happy birthday, Virginia.

Happy birthday.

Hi, Doc.

Is Virginia Wainwright at home?

She hasn't been feeling very well.

She's sleeping.

We're investigating the disappearance

of Miss Ann Thomerson.

We found her car abandoned

just across the road.

She hasn't been seen since yesterday.

Her parents are away.

The only information we have

is that she was on her way over here.

Yes.

Well, I've been here all weekend.

I know that Miss Wainwright

has not had any visitors.

I would like to ask

Miss Wainwright some questions.

Suppose I have her give you

a ring when she wakes up.

Is that all right?

Okay, fine. Here's my card.

Doc, almost stole your paper.

Yes, thank you.

Virginia, the police were just here,

and they found Ann's car.

She's missing.

- Oh, my God! Then I did kill her!

- Listen. Wait, just a minute.

She's missing. That's all.

They're all just missing.

David, I don't understand.

What does it all mean?

I think it means that

it's locked up in your past,

and you've got to try to go back.

What do these people have to do

with the whole thing?

Alfred, Steve, Greg,

Bernadette, Etienne.

What happened before the accident?

You've got to try to remember.

It was my birthday.

Mother decided to have my party

in the cottage.

Bernadette O'Hara,

Etienne Vercours, Steve Maxwell,

Alfred Morris, Greg Hellman,

and Ann Thomerson.

Six of the richest.

Nothing but the best

for my little girl.

It's almost five o'clock.

Did you tell them to come at 4:00?

Yes, Mommy.

I suppose this is what they call

"fashionably late. "

Sh*t!

Estelle, I've been trying

to call you all day.

I can't get home until the weekend.

Would you tell Ginny?

- I'll make it up to her.

- Tell her yourself, you bastard!

It's your loving father.
