I might not have been very nice to you.

I'm not myself tonight.

Sleep is a good remedy.

I'll be in the lobby all night and I can

check outside your room once in a while-

if it makes you feel any better.

- I feel so stupid.

- Don't. It can happen to anyone.

Now, just lock the door, get some sleep

and I will see you in the morning.

Yeah. Ok. Goodnight.

Sweet dreams.

- Welcome to the Bridgeburn.

- Thank you.

How can I help you this evening?

- I'm looking for someone. My sister.

- Has she gone missing?

I don't know. I haven't heard

from her in two weeks.

She was on her way to a music festival.

- Do you have a photo?

- Yeah.

She sent me a text message from a motel

somewhere between home and the festival.

I've been checking all the hotels

and motels in the area.

I think this must be my ninth since lunch.

- You're quite similar.

- Have you seen her?

- I'm afraid not. No.

- Are you sure?

Yes. I'm sure. I would remember.

She's very attractive.

Can you check your records? Maybe you

weren't working when she stayed.

I can assure you she hasn't

been here. I'm always here.

Ok. It's late. Is there any chance of

getting a room and some food maybe?.

- I have just the room for you.

- Nothing fancy though. I'm on a budget.

Ok. Standard room standard price.

If you could just fill that out please.

Yes fine.

Do you keep the slips?

Maybe I can see them?

I do keep them, yes, but I'm afraid-

- I can't show them to you. That would be

against the law.

I'm afraid you just gonna have to trust

me on this one. She has'nt been here.

Ok, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be pushy.

It's just that it's been a long day.

That's alright. That's room 15

just down the hall.

- Let me help you with that bag...

- Thanks, but I think I can handle it.

- Let me at least escort you to your room.

- I'll manage. Thank you.

- Yeah? Hello?

- Hi honey.

- Hey baby. How's it going?

- I just checked in to this hotel-

run by this weird guy.

Oh, any luck?

No, nothing. I've given up for the night.

Where is she, John?.

I'm so worried about her.

You know anything could

have happened to her.

Listen. This is not the first time

this has happened.

Yeah, but that was a long time ago.

She knows better that that now.

Don't be so sure. She's probably

having a great time now.

Most likely she hooked up with some

amazing guy at the festival.

Or maybe you know, batteries run out on

her phone. It could be anything-

- a bunch of coincidenences and that's

why she hasn't called. Ok?

Yeah, well I'm not convinced. There

are a lot of maniacs out there.

Well, they say no news

is good news. Right?

Well, they're full of sh*t.

Look, I got to get some sleep.

I'll talk to you in the morning, Ok?

- Ok, babe. Love you.

- Bye honey.

Yeh?.

- I'm sorry to disturb you.

- That's Ok.

- You said you were hungry.

- Yeah. I'm starved.

Then you can come to the dining room

when you're ready. There's food...

- Ok. Thanks. I'll be right there.

- Ok.

- Did you make this?

- Yes, I do most things round here.

You're not a bad cook.

Do you have any training?

I have a diploma in hotel management.

I've done my share of catering work.

But I don't get much use for it here so

I try to brush up on my skills-

whenever the opportunity presents itself.

- You're good.

- Thank you.

No, I mean it. I eat out a lot

and this, this is good.

Thank you.

Have you ever thought about

leaving this place?

I don't mean to be presumptuous,

but you are young.

Why waste your talent in this backwater?

Don't get me wrong it's a great hotel,

but, you know, it's kind of dead.

No, no offence.

I have ties to this place. You can

call them emotional ties.

But, when I'm ready I'm gojing to

go make my mark somewhere else.

- Please, sit down.

- Thank you.

So tell me about your sister.

Are you much alike?

Not really. We look alike,

but that's where it ends.

Jenny, she's more spontaneous than I am.

I'm more of a planner.

You know, I like to

have it all mapped out.

No surprises. I hate surprises.

I know where I'll be in 10 years and I know

where I'll be in 20 years for that matter.

She's the crazy, good looking sister, and

I'm the straight, strict, older sister.

I think you're good looking.

That's very sweet of you.

- Do you like cocktails?

- Yeah, but-

- I'm not really in the mood for cocktails.

I'm going to bed now.

Thank you for a delicious dinner

and thanks for keeping me company.

- Good night.

- Good night.

If you need anything just give me a call.

Can I help you with anything?

I was dying for a cigarette and I thought

I saw a vending machine back here.

We don't have a vending machine.

But I have some cigarettes in the office,

if you would like.

- Yeah. Yeah, I'd like that.

- Ok, then I'll join you for a smoke.

- Ok.

- Ok.

- Aren't you gonna have one?

- No, there was only one left.

- But, you can have this one if you'd like.

- No, please enjoy it.

- We can share.

- No really. I'm quite alright.

Ok. Thank you.

That's interesting.

Yeah. I think it's worth the money too.

Some Scandinavian designers' brainchild.

Smeurdie, beurdie, skeidi, beurdie.

Look, I'm cold and I'm tired.

Thank you for the cigarette-

and the company. I kind of needed it.

- Shall we?

- Yeah.

- Good morning!

- Oh. Good morning.

And what a lovely morning it is.

Maybe I can take you for a walk down

to the quarry after breakfast.

We have some extraordinary wildlife

in these parts you know.

I'm afraid I can't. I have to go into

town and see if anyone's seen my sister.

- But you're staying for breakfast?

- I'm sorry. I'm not hungry.

Not even a cup of coffee?

Will you be staying tonight?

I don't know. you can keep

my room, just in case.

If you're around I can promise

you some good food.

We'll see.

I didn't mean to disturb you.

Business slow this time of the year?

I guess, yeah.

- Quite some place you got here.

- Those crazy 60's architects, you know.

- You the owner?

- Yes. I do most things around here.

Is there anything I can help you with?

Do you want some coffee or breakfast?

No. Thank you for asking.

But I'm here on official business.

So you're looking for that girl too?

What girl would that be, sir?

There's a girl staying here at the

hotel looking for her sister.

Apparently she's gone missing.

- Is that so?

- Yeah.

No, I'm looking for an elderly couple.

They were driving this way 2 weeks ago.

Have you seen them?

- No.

- They didn't happened to stop here?

- No.

- You're sure?

- Yes.

- They drove a black Volkswagen.

I haven't had any guest for

over a month now so...

What about that girl staying here?

Except the girl, she came last night.

Is that so?

Now if you would excuse me.

I have some work to do.

I have some chores in the dining

room I need to take care of.

I leave you to it then.

So thank you for your help.

Stop by for coffe

or breakfast anytime.

Oh, I might just do that.

Hello?

- Hi.

- Hey.
