kind of holding her.

And her right arm was twisted

back behind her back.

And he was bashing, bashing her

into the pavement.

I made some noise and he looked

right up at me.

[MISS SNOW]

Let's begin with the eyes.

The eyes?

Yes, always the eyes first.

Okay.

Dark eyes.

Yes, I remember now, big,

dark eyes.

[MIRANDA] Square-cut jaw.

Dark hair.

Widow's peek, maybe not.

Maybe not.

( DOG WHINES )

[MARTINELLI] Shut up.

Is their anyway I can keep this,

over night possibly?

So, it's okay with me.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

I'll call you tomorrow morning

with any possible changes.

Congrats on the uh... the

reviews this morning.

Yeah.

What, you don't like great

reviews?

The guy I did the exhibit

about isn't happy.

I wouldn't think that would

bother you.

No, I...

[ANDY] Regret.

I had to do it.

But uh...

Question. This series here?

Uh... it's called bag.

Do you wanna sit for it?

Uh...

What would I have to do?

I would take your photo and then

you would give me...

everything in your bag.

Um... when would I get it back?

When the show is done.

And when is that?

12 weeks.

You would keep your credit

cards, ID, cell phone, keys...

but you have to give me

everything else.

So all this crap was in what?

Someone's purse?

Look at the photo.

It's your crap.

All right.

[MIRANDA] Yes?

Where do I put this?

Great!

Okay, so I'm just gonna take

everything out...

and then you're gonna

arrange it?

No, you're going to arrange

it on here.

And I'm going to put this glass

case over it.

Reviews.

Whoa! I get your official

weapon?

I like my f***ing job, I'm not

gonna give up my weapon.

No, that stays here.

This is a collector's item.

It's my baby.

I just happen to have it

on me today.

No bullets.

Would you like to hold it?

Oh God, no.

Uh...

Goji berries!

Good for the prostate.

My life is laughable.

Did she do this when you pulled

out your stuff?

No.

Just you.

Just me?

She was really serious?

Did you snort?

PAUL (OVER SPEAKER)

Square cut jaw. Dark hair.

Widow's peak. Maybe Not.

Maybe Not.

MIRANDA (OVER SPEAKER)

Square cut jaw.

Dark hair.

Widow's peak. Maybe not.

Maybe not.

PAUL (OVER SPEAKER)

MIRANDA (OVER SPEAKER)

PAUL (OVER SPEAKER)

MIRANDA (OVER SPEAKER)

PAUL (OVER SPEAKER)

MIRANDA (OVER SPEAKER)

Widow's peak.

Maybe not. Maybe not.

Hey.

Hello.

Sorry I didn't make it to the

opening.

Please don't worry about it.

Paul said it was smashing.

Hello.

Hi.

[JAMES] I feel sick.

Ms. Fall.

Nice to see you again.

Hello.

[JAMES] Your usual?

Yes, please.

[JAMES]

Let me get you another bottle.

This one's almost out.

It's that big?

Well, this is gonna be an

exercise in futility.

Thank you for doing this.

How are you?

Hold on one sec.

Let me get some better ice here.

You see, I think-- I think the

nose should be more elongated...

and the face more oval.

But you said square cut jaw?

Yeah, I know.

But I think... now I think the

face should be more oval.

More feminine somehow.

That's all folks.

Bye, cookie.

Bye.

[JAMES] Bye.

Poor guy, huh?

Mm.

Now listen, this-- you really

need to stick to installations.

No, seriously.

You want me to help you

with this?

No!

No, come here, no, no, no.

No!

We're gonna give him--

How about a butt chin?

James!

No, no, wait, look.

Who am I? Who am I?

( CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING )

ARTHUR (V.O.)

You've done a bad thing.

Fetch, Jax!

( SPEAKING RUSSIAN )

Looking good.

Hello?

I'm here for a lineup.

[DETECTIVE]

Thanks for coming in, ma'am.

Standard procedure.

Don't worry about it.

They can't see you,

but you can see them.

Is Ms. Lockwood already

processed?

Do you mean Margeret Lockwood?

The woman in the hall?

[DETECTIVE] The victim of the

assault you witnessed? Yeah.

What?

[DETECTIVE]

Do you know the victim?

How badly was she hurt?

But you didn't recognize her?

During the attack?

No.

But you did see the perpetrator?

He looked right up at me.

Will she be doing the lineup,

as well?

Uh... the victim didn't see

the attacker, ma'am.

My God, she interviewed me

that morning.

Get the lights.

[DETECTIVE]

Man number one, step forward.

Man number two, step forward.

Man number three, step forward.

[DETECTIVE] Man number four,

please step forward.

Man number five...

please... step forward.

Hey.

Hey.

Hi.

How'd it go?

Uh...

Were you able to ID anyone?

Uh... no.

No, definitely not.

Were you at least gonna say hi?

Who were the men in the lineup?

Um...

Who was man number five?

Who?

Who-- who is he?

Weird? I know him.

And not from the attack.

But I know him.

I know I know him...

he's so familiar.

( LOUD CLANK )

MAN #1 (OVER TV) I suppose

you couldn't put it...

...to her in someway?

MAN #2 (OVER TV) What?

MAN #1 (OVER TV) Well... people

just don't vanish and so forth.

MAN #2 (OVER TV)

She has.

MAN #1 (OVER TV)

What?

Vanished.

Who?

[MAN #2] The old dame.

MAN #1 (OVER TV)

Yes.

MAN #2 (OVER TV)

Well? Well, how could she?

What?

Vanish.

Vanish?

I don't know.

Well, that just explains

my point.

People don't just disappear

into thin air.

( PHONE RINGING )

( CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS )

( DOOR OPENS,

STEPS APPROACHING )

( PHONE RINGING )

[KARIN]

I like her in that close.

[ASSISTANT] Yeah.

[KARIN] That one's amazing.

Oh my God, look at her eyes.

Miranda, that is amazing.

( PHONE RINGING )

Who keeps calling me?

[KARIN] What's crazy is that...

Excuse me a second.

...in this one her face

looks blue.

Right? It's like transferring

from her hand to her face.

( EERIE MUSIC FADES UP )

Hi. Yes. Um....

Oh, no.

[CLEO] Look at this disaster.

Nothing got stolen except

for the baby pictures.

[CLEO] He's a f***ing lunatic!

Projectors aren't broken...

at least he was nice enough

to leave those alone.

Did Arthur do this?

I guess.

We get the surveillance tapes

in an hour to confirm.

It's very timely.

He was talking about suing?

I can have his ass in jail

for this sh*t!

Excuse me.

Hey, are we supposed to be open?

Allison, do you have f***ing

eyes in your head?

Get them out of here!

I want to let them in.

Would you prefer we didn't?

Don't touch anything else. We

should just leave it how it is.

I had a feeling she'd say

something like this.

It's so much better this way,

Cleo.

There is so much more

of him here. It's better.

Could you stop, please? Just

leave everything how it is.

Thank you.

We'll create perimeters...

around each of his sculptures.

It's better.

You've just-- we're just going

to leave it?

( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )

[CLEO] Paul, are you okay to

just leave it?

It's to just leave

it coincidentally.
