Mirrors Page #3

- God damn it!

The water has obliterated

most of the marks.

No sign of struggle or forced entry.

And the front door was locked,

which means that

the person who did this

either had keys to the apartment

or it was someone that she knew.

He would've never laid a finger on her.

You know, when their father died,

Ben took care of Angela.

She meant the world to him.

Listen, so far, his statement is pretty

consistent with the facts, you know?

We checked it out.

He showed up to work at 7:00 p.m.

And the downstairs neighbors said

they began to notice the water leakage

at around 10:
00.

The only strange thing,

and this could just be a coincidence,

is that Ben told the daytime

security guard, Lorenzo Sapelli,

that he was planning on quitting the job.

Like he was moving away someplace.

He mention anything like that to you?

No.

Lately, communication hasn't been

our strong point.

What are you gonna do with him?

I figure we'll let him go.

We got no reason to keep him here.

Larry.

I'm so sorry.

Ben?

Why don't you come home

and spend some days with the kids?

I can't.

I don't want to put our children in danger.

She asked me to quit, but I wouldn't.

- They came after her.

- What are you talking about?

I've got some things I need to take care of.

- Wait, Ben. Please.

- Amy. Amy, let me go.

I don't want you

to get in any more trouble.

- Please stay out of it.

- I know who did this.

Well, in that case,

you've got to tell Larry everything.

He'll never believe me.

Neither will you.

What do you want?

Please, just tell me.

What do you want from me?

What do you want from me?

"Esseker."

Hey. I need you to run a name for me.

Esseker.

Echo, Sierra, Sierra, Echo,

Kilo, Echo, Romeo.

- Did you check online?

- I've already done that.

Nothing. IRS and DMV.

- Where?

- Try New York.

- When?

- Last five or six years.

Okay, Ben.

Thanks.

Get back to me as soon as you can.

"Mayflower burns, 48 presumed dead."

"Berry confesses to

deadly Mayflower fire."

"Watchman arrested."

"Woman, three children murdered."

Come on, Ben, connect the dots.

"Mr. Berry maintains that

the mirrors in the store are the ones

"that brutally killed his wife

and three children."

"Mirrors are guilty. Mirrors are guilty."

- Yeah. What did you get?

- Hey.

Look, I didn't find anything

under that name.

Sh*t! Sh*t.

Do you want me

to look outside New York?

No. Hold on. Hold on.

I want you to run another name for me.

Berry, Terrence Berry.

Terrence Berry.

Wait one sec.

- I think I got him. You still there?

- Yeah.

- Your guy murdered his whole family.

- I already know that.

He's dead.

Damn it.

Can you tell me where he was committed

before he died?

You know, Mr. Carson, when one

starts to perceive one's own reflection

as a completely separate being,

one is suddenly confronted

with two entirely separate egos,

two entirely separate worlds

that can surface at any given moment.

A feeling of self-hatred,

usually triggered by a psychological shock

can split the personality in two.

Hence creating two or more personalities

with distinct memories

and distinct behavior patterns

within the same individual.

The patient then has

the false perception of the existence

of two distinct worlds, the real world

and the world inside a mirror.

These recordings were used

in Terrence's trial.

You'll see they speak for themselves.

Why did you set

the department store on fire?

In order to destroy the mirrors.

Only fire can destroy mirrors,

isn't that right, Doctor?

What made you think you absolutely

had to destroy those mirrors, Terrence?

They killed my Helen

and my three children.

For what reason?

Why would mirrors

want to kill your family?

- Because I didn't...

- Didn't do what?

They asked me to find Esseker.

Oh, my God.

We all are looking for Esseker.

Amy.

Excuse me, I have to go.

Tell me about Esseker, Terrence.

Who is Esseker?

I don't know who Esseker is!

I don't know who Esseker is!

I don't know.

Mrs. Carson? It's Rosa.

Mr. Ben is here.

He's moving all of the furniture around.

- Hey. How was school today?

- Good.

Good. I'll be right back.

Dad...

Sweetheart, just give me a second.

I gotta take care of a couple of things.

Daddy, what are you doing?

Honey, don't look scared.

Everything's fine.

I think it looks nicer like this. Don't you?

Rosa, what's happening?

Take the kids downstairs, right now.

Right now.

What the hell are you doing?

Amy, you're gonna have to trust me.

This is for your own protection.

Get out of the house, right now!

Hey, are you listening to me?

You are scaring the kids!

If you don't leave immediately,

I'm calling the police,

and I warn you,

you will never see your kids again!

Amy, I am not crazy.

These mirrors are dangerous.

At first I thought it was just the ones

in the store, but after Angela was killed,

I realized they can get at you anywhere.

I promise I will leave the house.

Just let me cover these damn mirrors.

What's wrong with you?

I know what you've been going through

hasn't been easy.

But guess what?

It hasn't been easy for us, either!

Angela was a part of our lives, too,

you know that?

It's not fair what you're doing to us, Ben!

Michael... He's acting so strange now.

He always wants to be alone. He won't

talk to me. He's having nightmares.

Ben, your behavior is rubbing off on him!

He is six years old. I have to protect him!

I want to show you something.

- Ben, let go of me!

- You don't want to believe me?

Fine, I'll show you.

- What are you doing?

- I'll show you!

Are you crazy?

- Have you gone completely mad?

- Just wait, you'll see.

- See what?

- You'll see.

See what, Ben?

What am I supposed to see?

It's not happening.

It's not happening.

Amy, I swear to you, at the Mayflower...

I am not lying.

Ben. Let's go back inside, okay?

Put the gun away.

Listen to me, baby. I want to help you.

Tell the kids I'm sorry.

Ben!

No!

Jesus Christ.

Larry, it's me. I need your help again.

I'm trying to locate the patient-employee

manifest for St. Matthew's Hospital.

Where is it?

Where was it? They closed it down.

But it was in New York.

It's where the Mayflower used to be.

The Mayflower? The department store?

Do you have any idea where

they would store records for a hospital

that's been closed for over 50 years?

No, I don't. But I can send someone

to city hall to check it out.

If it's a public hospital, there'd be a record

of it. Tell me exactly what you need.

Same thing. I'm looking for a patient

or an employee with the name Esseker.

All right, I'm on it. Give me a couple hours,

and, Ben, keep your head down.

Hey.

- Did you get it?

- Yeah, I think so.

It's Anna Esseker.

I didn't really know what you wanted,

so I got all the medical files.

This is perfect, Larry. This is perfect.

What happened?

Did you get in an accident?

Anna Esseker's file,

did you have to go to city hall for it?

No, I didn't have to go anywhere.
