- Hell if I know.

- Susie didn't tell me.

- You don't know, huh?

- I don't know.

- I think you're lying.

Hello?

You and Susie Dudley, as I

understand, were very good friends?

A lot of history there?

- Did something happen to Susie?

- You tell me.

- Are you suggesting that I'm keeping...

- What I'm suggesting is maybe

her disappearance

is disturbing to you.

But this is totally like Susie.

- What are you talking about?

- She's always running away.

She and her mom were always at it.

I didn't think it was a big deal.

I'm sure she's fine.

- Just wants the attention.

- Where's her boyfriend Nathan?

- I'll go pull him from class.

- Yeah.

So tell me about Friday night?

Susie's mom said there was a party?

- Yeah, we went to the bowling alley.

- You're lying to me!

Okay, your friends told me there

was a campfire by the woods.

- Why are you lying?!

- It was nothing.

Then why lie about it?

Miss Cook.

If you want to keep on track with

attending that Ivy League school,

- I'd advise you to answer thi...

- It was just this senior-year thing

with a few of us hanging

out in the woods.

It didn't go anywhere else?

No, sir.

Can I go back to class now?

Eh, you know there's no need to scare

the hell out of these kids, Michael.

Just following your advice, huh?

- And our duty to protect this town.

- Murder?

Michael, we haven't had that kind

of trouble here in a long time.

Look, people talk,

especially these kids.

Last thing I want is a

panic you understand?

Listen, I don't know

what that was all about,

but, uh, we got another problem.

Nathan Miller didn't

show up for class today.

Some local fisherman

found him naked,

curled up on a bank this morning.

They brought him here.

- Where are his folks?

- Both deceased.

- The boy lives with his grandmother.

- Hey hey hey.

Hey hey, she drowned.

Sh-she... she drowned.

She drowned, she drowned,

she drowned, she drowned.

Is she dead? She drowned!

She drowned.

She drowned, I hear

she did. I don't know.

- She drowned, she drowned!

- What'd you say?

She drowned!

She drowned!

She drowned.

Hey, he does this every single day.

She drowned.

A house divided upon itself

will fall into wrack and ruin.

In the great abyss the

seven princesses dwell!

It's a trick, it's a trick!

Th... they're fakin' ya.

They-they want to

reach out from hell.

Bring you back.

Bring you back to hell!

Drag you into hell-lll...

- All right!

- Hell...

Lovely town you got here.

Like I said, he does that every day.

Here's our boy.

Hasn't said a word

since he's been here.

Completely unresponsive.

Any blood, bruises or

anything like that?

Not a trace.

Something scared the hell out of him.

Hey, Nathan.

Hey, Nathan,

it's Sheriff Hendricks here.

We've got a few questions

we'd like to ask you.

You remember anything at

all about the other night

in the woods with Susie Dudley?

You know where she is?

Nathan?

Nathan!

Possibility he might

be faking, doctor?

That's highly doubtful.

Yeah, but is there a possibility?

W... Well...

Of course there's

a possibility, but...

"Revertar in domum meam unde exivi."

- What the hell's he doing?

- I-I don't...

No, no! No, no, don't cuff him,

don't cuff him! It's too early!

Shaw, either help or get

the hell out of here.

I'm just trying to do my job!

Get him up.

I've got all day, son.

Where is Susie Dudley?

Why don't you just tell

me now? Nathan! Hey!

Susie Dudley... where is she?

I wanna know where she is.

"Revertar in domum meam unde exivi."

All right, you listen to me,

you little sh*t! Huh?

Did you see something?

You tell me what happened to her.

- You tell me. I need to know!

- Brodie!

Ease off.

You know, son, finding Susie Dudley's

not gonna bring your daughter back.

What the hell's that

supposed to mean?

It just means there's some

things in this damned life

you're not in control of.

You want me to write that down?

I think you're forgetting

whose operation this is.

Your game's a joke.

- What is it you're after, son?

- I want the truth.

You chase the truth like

a radical crusader.

- I know what I'm doing.

- Do you?

Yeah.

Why don't you explain to me

why some punk kid's speaking

in a dead language.

"Sad mouse lives in this house."

Sad mouse lives in this house

Sad mouse lives in this house...

Sad mouse lives in this house

Sad mouse lives in this house...

Sad mouse lives in...

What is this place, huh?

Just some old house.

Had a suicide case awhile back.

About the biggest thing to

Ain't been no trouble in years.

It was right here.

She was right here.

I saw it in the mirror.

She was lying here on the ground and

there was blood everywhere and...

and... and she...

She was just lying here

There's nothing here.

Can I talk to you?

- Are you sure you saw something?

- Uh-huh, I'm sure.

Scared of you?

Why would she be scared of me?

- Of what then?

- I don't know.

Do I look nuts to you?

What is it you're hiding,

Mrs. Brodie?

I can't do this.

I-I-I'm sorry. I tried.

Look at you. Look at you.

Look at you.

All scrubbed and garnished,

but you still ain't clean.

No, no, no, you can't dig up the

truth if you want to play the game.

It's all lies. Lies!

There's a resurrection of the mind.

Susie Dudley's still missing.

I heard her boyfriend Nathan done it.

I heard he went crazy. My

daughter's friend told her about it.

Well, Sheriff Hendricks

ain't saying a word,

but I heard someone saw Susie
