That was fast.
Hi.
Oh, so lovely to meet you.
Good to meet you, too.
Hi!
Hi, Honey! This is my dog. I'll
put her in the-- in the bedroom.
Come on in.
You know we're neighbors?
I live just down the road.
Whoa.
[MARTINELLI] Hey...
...I'm going to start with the
cabinets.
That sounds great.
It's chaos we're remodeling.
Make yourself at home.
( SPEAKING RUSSIAN )
Come on... come on, Jax!
( ELECTRICITY BUZZING )
( SPEAKING RUSSIAN )
Those are the... the notebooks?
Yes.
May I?
Yeah... here.
Each exhibit gets its own--
Yes.
So tell me about tonight's
opening? Congratulations.
Thank you.
You found a cell phone
on the street.
You did not know
who it belonged to.
I started interviewing people
from the phone's address book...
about the man to whom it
belonged, Arthur Anderton.
I looked at his GPS history...
the places he had been,
visited those places...
photographed them... listened
to his music.
I began to see the phone
as a prism...
through which I might see
the man.
Was there anything that you
didn't look at?
I didn't look at his web history
or read his emails.
I wanted the device to...
offer up information...
that he might share with me
himself...
under different circumstances,
of course.
How does Arthur Anderton feel
about this?
While developing the exhibit,
his friends and family...
seemed to think that he
would love it.
But he didn't?
No.
Um... you also do performance
work?
What would you say is the
unifying theme...
The unifying theme?
...behind your, um...
everything you do?
Chance.
I like to allow circumstances to
present themself...
and then I rise up to meet them.
Circumstances are the...
dictator's of my work.
Like a piece of string, I pick
it up and follow it along...
and see where it takes me.
( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )
( MUSIC CONTINUES )
Thank you, thank you again...
and, um, I hope our paths
cross again.
Me, too.
Thanks. Bye.
Has he been walked?
Not since like 11:00.
Okay, maybe I'll walk him.
Come.
[KARIN] I won't be here
when you get back...
I'm gonna go get ready.
Okay, see you tonight.
Yeah.
How long have you been
representing her?
Uh... how long have I been
representing you?
Oh... a long time, we're old
friends.
He is my mentor at art school.
Oh.
[PAUL] Scary.
Thank you so much.
Thank you for coming.
I thought you named her.
So original.
No, we're just meeting.
This is Paul.
He's my uh... dealer, Paul.
Hi.
Arthur Anderton.
[MIRANDA]
And now with this technology...
we all walk around with these
phones...
kind of attached to ourselves.
[MIRANDA] We don't memorize
anybody's phone numbers anymore.
[MAN] Not at all.
Right?
[WOMAN] It's true!
Everything is just built...
in these little boxes.
Arthur?
I'm very glad you could
make it tonight.
Did my mother give you
this photo?
Yes.
I'm glad that you're here.
You don't find it awkward
to meet me?
A real human being.
It's very nice to meet you.
( CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING )
This little domain, it's...
mine.
This body, these arms,
these legs, mine.
You've done a bad thing.
Well, I thought it went
good tonight...
very, very good.
They're gonna put your interview
on the cover, you know?
( SOFT MOANING )
Yeah, well I thought the show
was very good tonight.
How do you feel about the shoot
tomorrow?
Huh?
Can you just give me a minute?
Yeah.
Um, you know, Arthur is gonna
sue?
[MIRANDA] What?
Yeah, I had a little talk
with him.
Where are you going?
To get water. You want some?
No.
[MIRANDA] Ow! Ow!
Fuck, who moved this thing?
You know... if he sues,
it's all a good thing.
( DOOR SLAMS CLOSED )
( SCOFFS )
( PHONE RINGS )
( RINGING CONTINUES )
Hello?
No, there's no one here
by that name.
( TOILET FLUSHING )
[PAUL] Oh!
( BANGING )
[MIRANDA] Paul?
[PAUL] Hey! Hey! Hey!
[MIRANDA] Paul?
Hey! Stop that!
Stop!
What is it? What's going on?
There was this woman,
and he was--
Where? What happened?
On the ground.
But what happened?
He had her head down and he was
bashing her.
He looked right up at me.
Fuck! God damn it!
Let's call the police.
And tell them what?
And tell them!
I can't. I-- it wouldn't be
fair.
It wouldn't be fair.
I'll call from my cell phone
anonymously, an anonymous tip.
That's not anonymous, Miranda!
Is she okay? Do you think he's
still following her?
[PAUL] What are you gonna
say to them?
What did he look like?
He was a white guy.
He had dark hair.
Jesus!
Paper? Paper? Paper? Paper?
She had a coat.
Did you see his face?
He was looking right up at me.
OPERATOR (OVER PHONE)
You've reached 911.
You're call is important to us.
Please hold.
What's happening?
I've been put on hold.
Hold?
Hello? Yes, I'd like to report
an attack...
that took place on the corner
of Revery and 4th.
No, it's not going on now.
About 5 minutes.
What the hell?
I think it's weird that you
answered my phone.
What made you do that?
It was ringing.
Who was it?
Wrong number.
So what made you answer it?
Hello. Yes, I can.
Caucasian man, tan coat,
dark hair.
Yes, that's correct.
That's me.
Yes. Miranda F-A-L-L, Fall.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
They are sending someone
over tomorrow.
Oh, great.
Shoot.
Can you tell me anything else
about what he looked like?
Square-cut jaw. Dark hair.
Widows peak, maybe not.
Maybe not.
I just want to understand
it a little bit better...
so you be me, and I'll be you.
I'm sitting here.
The phone rings.
I go to answer it.
And I believe that I see an
attack happening below.
Now he was about right here.
And... um.
He had his right arm
in this position here...
and... and hurled my arms um,
behind her back all twisted up.
And he was-- he was sort
of bashing...
bashing her into the pavement.
And I made a noise up there and
he looked right up at me.
( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )
[MIRANDA] Um... I like the one
on the left, I think.
Okay. We'll get going on that
right away.
( KNOCK ON DOOR )
Thank You.
[MARTINELLI] No worries, boss,
start from downstairs.
Hello.
No way!
You called the police.
Um... first of all,
don't get excited.
This is not a coincidence.
Are you gonna let us in?
Come in! Come in! Come in!
Hi.
Hi.
I heard you called in.
You heard?
Yeah.
You're a bit of a cult figure
down at the precinct, so--
What?
In a former life, I went to
college with this young lady.
[MISS SNOW] Really?
I'm sorry. Miranda, this is Miss
Snow. She's the sketch artist.
Hi.
Hi.
Would it be okay if I--
Yes.
...set my things...
This is great.
Thanks.
I'm sorry, can I get you
some tea?
[MISS SNOW] No thanks, I'm fine.
Yeah, you have quite the
reputation with the police.
That thing you did with the,
um... surveillance camera.
[MIRANDA] Cameras!
Yeah.
That got you some friends.
That's really weird.
He had his right arm like this,
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 fucking 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?

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,

( 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 fucking 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 shit!
Excuse me.
Hey, are we supposed to be open?
Allison, do you have fucking
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.
And there she goes.
( SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES )
Mommy!
MIRANDA (V.O.)
October 28th. 6:00pm.
I have found you,
man number five.
And a new project begins.
PAUL (OVER PHONE)
Hello? It's me. Hello? It's me.
( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )
MIRANDA (V.O.)
First floor.
Third floor.
October 28th. 8:30pm.
I am in number five's hallway.
Right now the man is walking
around behind...
...this door.
The guy from the lineup
showed up at the gallery?
And the victim was in my house
just days ago.
PAUL (OVER SPEAKER)
Wow.
Yeah.
And it's not just that.
First time I saw him--
He probably followed you
from the police station.
The point of a line up, Paul,
is that they can't see you.
You know some of these guys
are real criminals.
It could have been the guy
that assaulted her.
What-- what is this piece
you are doing anyway?
What exactly are you
trying to do?
I don't know.
[PAUL'S WIFE] Paul?
Coming, darling...
to be continued.
Hi.
You wanted something?
No? Water? You sure?
MIRANDA (V.O.) October 31st...
you were never here.
Last night a man walked
into myself.
Let me take that again.
Last night, a man walked
into my life.
Hi, sorry, I'm a little late.
[MIRANDA] Hi.
Good to see you.
Have you been here long?
I can amuse myself.
Happy Halloween.
Would you like something
to drink?
Happy Halloween!
Come on!
Takes one to know one.
There you are.
Can I get you something?
Yeah... um... oh... hey!
Where's James tonight?
Excuse me?
Oh... I don't know,
I'm new here.
Well, you still serve scotch,
right?
[NEW BARTENDER] Always!
Yeah.
Well, I'll have a Macallan
on the rocks.
Sure thing, beautiful.
So?
Ignocio, where is James?
I have no idea.
Never showed up to work Monday.
We left a couple of messages.
So that's that. This guy here,
very nice.
That's that?
What can I say, I'm running
a business.
He's been here since
I moved here.
Years.
Well, do you have anyway
of getting in touch with him?
No, this way my way.
How is your family?
Happens all the time
in my business.
People getting fired?
No, people suddenly
not showing up anymore.
Ah... you'd be surprised.
Talking about the people
that just vanish.
Family files a report.
They think they're dead.
And then five years later,
they turn up...
somewhere across the country.
They don't take money
or clothes?
Sometimes... sometimes
they just--
That really happens?
That really happens.
Taxi! Airport, please.
( INDISTINCT )
Taxi! Airport, please!
Airport, please!
Taxi! Airport, please.
How's it going? How's the case?
It's over and done with.
[MIRANDA] What?
That's my news...
What happened?
They got their man.
Colleague of mine obtained
a confession...
to a bunch of different
assaults...
and your case was one of them.
One of the men in the lineup?
Yes.
When, when did this happen?
Uh... yesterday.
They incarcerated him yesterday?
Yes, they incarcerated him
yesterday.
That's good news.
That's good news.
That's really wonderful.
It is.
What about the other men
in the lineup?
Who were they?
What do you mean, who were they?
Were they all violent criminals?
Ah... no, they were not violent
criminals.
No?
Just a couple of cops.
A couple of petty thieves.
Thank you.
There is nobody violent,
dangerous?
Nobodies.
Incognito.
That was fun.
It was.
Um....
Goodnight.
Goodnight.
Get home safe.
MIRANDA (V.O.)
November 4th. 4:00pm.
From here on in,
let us call the man "S".
I follow S to a fairly busy
shopping district.
And I watch him buy a wrinkled
green and pink polka dot scarf.
Which the sales girl, in red,
is about to give him.
In a white bag.
I wonder, who is the woman,
that S is buying the scarf for?
[MIRANDA] Jax!
Hello?
Jax?
Jax!
Come here, boy.
Jax!
[MIRANDA] Hi, baby.
Hey.
Don't you feel well?
What the hell, Jax?
[MIRANDA] What the hell?
You peed?
Jax, what the hell?
[MIRANDA]
Get the ball, boy.
Don't you wanna play more?
Come on, baby.
Fetch the ball!
Come on, Jax.
Here we go. One more time.
Oh, there you are.
Here I am?
I've been here for the last
3 hours. Speaking of which...
Well, I was looking for you
ten minutes ago.
You weren't here.
Yes, I was.
Must of been in the bathroom.
I haven't left my chair
for literally three hours.
Whatever. I, um, I just wanted
to let you know...
that my nephews are here.
Oh... Nino and Sammy.
And... Detective Andy called
on the office line.
I know.
It was the same in college.
Trust me.
Oh, my goodness.
Did you guys have a thing?
Oh, come on, just tell me.
That's not going to work...
because I'm actually not going
to be here.
[KARIN] Yeah, we leave...
Come on, soccer! Yeah!
...on Thursday night and
get in Friday morning.
[MIRANDA]
Get the ball!
[KARIN] Wednesday, we're coming
back. Uh-huh.
So we're gonna get in Friday
morning.
So it's just a little tight.
Hey, Jax! Where are you, honey?
Come here, sweetheart.
Bang!
Jax is acting strangely, huh?
Uh, yeah...
it's like somebody's replaced my
dog with another dog.
Bang!
This looks yummy.
I'm making them dinner.
Do you want some?
Yes, please.
Mm-hm.
What's wrong?
No, I'm stressed about my trip.
Honey, your trip is going to be
wonderful.
I told you my cousin
is gonna be here.
She said she'd be happy
to help with anything.
No strangers in the house.
What's with that self portrait?
What self portrait?
That's the assailant!
That's the police sketch.
Oh, I thought it was you.
[BOY] That's not a real gun.
Because it was Halloween...
and they wanted the full like
haunted house experience.
And then all of a sudden,
I just feel myself grabbed...
and pulled up, and I can't even
breathe.
And I'm snorting out
of my nose...
to wake up the people
in the room.
Thank God they saw me.
I'm like at 45 degrees.
They spring up.
And they're shaking me,
and my eyes are open.
And I'm going.
Like trying to get to them.
And then finally whatever it was
was released.
Instead of me getting out of bed
or anything you'd imagine.
I just curled up into this fetal
position.
Felt so violated and I was
like no.
Oh, no.
That's terrifying.
It was terrifying,
and then I stayed awake.
I would not...
Of course, you did.
And waited until--
Oh wow, waited for her
to come back.
That was it, I was done.
I haven't had anybody this nice
to me in a long time.
Did you know that heart cells...
want to beat at the same time.
So, like if you put a cell
from my heart...
and a cell from yours...
in a dish together, within
however many, I don't know...
hours they would be pulsing
at the same time.
They like reach towards each
other to try to sync up.
It's true.
I'm waiting to see if they
start to sync up.
[MIRANDA]
Jax?
Hello?
Yeah, yeah.
Well, he wouldn't be putting
the painting up...
if he wasn't trying to sell
the fucking thing.
Tell him he's a surrealist.
I think Arthur may have been
in my apartment.
What?
Twice now I've come home...
and the big Chaise lounge
was in a different place.
Well, you had painters in there
all week.
Well, they finished last week.
And Karin left for Paris
on Thursday.
Okay.
Did one of them have a key?
No.
But the lock on my building door
is broken.
Was your sibling in the
building?
I have to ask him.
I don't think so.
Although I wonder.
Is it fair of me to deny Arthur
access to my apartment?
What?
Well, there can't be one set
of rules for me...
and another for everyone else.
Audrey, give me Stearns on the
phone, okay?
Arthur? Arthur?
How would he have gotten in?
I keep a key under my doormat.
And you-- you think Arthur came
into your apartment...
and moved your Chaise lounge
around?
Oh, Jesus.
Are those real?
MIRANDA (V.O.)
November 12th. 9:00 PM.
I am absolutely freezing.
Watch here as I try to warm
my frozen feet.
I follow S down a street not
far from where I live myself.
I'm just a few paces behind...
though he does not acknowledge
me.
He must know I am here, by now.
Earlier today, S took me to the
west side of the city.
Where he allowed me to get
very close.
Before disappearing from my
sights all together.
And then--
[MIRANDA]
Oh, my God.
MIRANDA (V.O.) Like he walked
right into me again.
Right into... this very room.
Hello.
Hello.
Uh... Mr. Martinelli?
Did you move a chair
in my apartment?
Move your chair?
Yes, the Chaise lounge in my
apartment.
Would you like some help
with something, Ms. Fall?
No, don't worry about it.
Thank you.

Hello. I'm sorry to disturb
you so late.
Hi!
Uh... the door down stairs
was open.
Oh, yes, I know.
I've just made some tea.
Would you like some.
Scene of the crime.
How are you feeling?
I've been such a fan of yours
all these years.
I don't know.
I'm not the same as I was
the last time I was here.
My DNA is different.
Thank you.
Why is it that when you got to
the police station...
you couldn't identify anyone?
I'm sorry, it's so crazy.
Because I was here, and then it
was you who witnessed it.
What's your new project about?
They did find him.
I know. I know. I just--
I just-- I need to know
what happened?
I heard a man's voice at the
window.
And I know I did.
I need to know what your new
project is about.
Paul Stark saw you get attacked,
not me.
Oh my God.
What if they hadn't caught him?
What if they hadn't caught him.
Did you know that Arthur
Anderton was in the hospital?
Tried to kill himself.
Is he going to be okay?
They don't know. He shot
himself.
What's going on, Miranda?

S.
S... all along.
November 17th. 5:00PM.

I wait outside of S' apartment.
I know what I must do.
I must rise and meet the
circumstance.
I must follow the stream.

( EERIE MUSIC PLAYING )
Love this photo.
[MIRANDA]
Which one?
The one of little you, and your
mom and your dad.
Oh yeah... that's a nice one.
I've been looking and looking
at it a lot recently.
Hey.
Hey.
The morning my parents died,
my mom called...
to see if there was anything
that I wanted from home?
And I said, my white shirt.
I don't know how long she spent
looking for the white shirt...
but I know she spent sometime
looking for the white shirt.
And I know that in a car crash
where a matter of moments...
or a moment is the difference
between life and death.
That if I hadn't of asked
for the white shirt...
they would still be alive.
I am disappearing, Andy.
You are right here.
Hi.
Hi.
Is that really what I look like?
It was so real for me
when we were at school.
Did you feel it, too?
I always wanted to ask you.
I was just a boy.
By the way, you should be glad
you weren't able to ID anyone.
Because they put me back
on the case.
Apparently someone went missing
from your spot.
The Nightingale.
What?
A young woman went missing
the other night.
But they found the guy?
Cops can be assholes.
But he confessed?
A coerced confession.
How?
What?
How could you not have
told me this?
I just did.
Don't worry. You're not involved
any more.
But I am involved, though.
I am involved.
Do you have any idea who it is?
No.
And what about this woman
at The Nightingale.
We think that your case might
be connected...
to this girl who's gone missing.
She's gone missing?
Yes, Friday.
[MIRANDA]
Friday? This last Friday?
What the hell?
This last Friday?
Yes.
( KNOCKING )
Ssh, she's asleep.
She hasn't been able to get
to sleep.
Mr. Stark, I'm going to head
home.
I will see you first thing
in the morning.
Thank you, Imelda, thank you
very much.
I don't know how
to thank you enough.
Okay, yeah.
1:00 AM is early to start
drinking.
You look awful.
Uh-huh.
Paul?
Hm?
Oh, God, let me guess
where this is going.
I need to know if this
is the same man...
you saw attack Margeret?
I thought they nailed this guy?
No.
I don't know... it's hard
to say.
I can't see him properly.
Can you please try to guess?
I don't know what to tell you.
Tomorrow morning, I want you
to come with me...
and I'll take you to him.
And you'll tell me if it's
the same man...
you saw outside of my
apartment, okay?
Tomorrow morning I have an
appointment at the hospital.
Do you have eyes?
A woman disappeared from
The Nightingale...
the night I followed this man
there.
People might get hurt, Paul.
( DEVICE BEEPING )
She's awake.
He put something in my closet.
He put a scarf in my closet.
All right, look.
I'll meet you tomorrow morning
at 10:30 at the gallery.
After I drop her off.
Are you okay?
Do you wanna sleep here
over night?
You know when you said, "He
looked right up at me,"?
Does that mean that he saw you?
I'm scared for you, Paul.
What if he's dangerous and you
can ID him?
You know this thing with Arthur?
I mean... he was unstable
from the very beginning...
there is no way you could have
known that, cookie.
I think it's time to go
to the police.
You know what this is for me?
( WEEPING )
I love her.
I know.
I really...
I know, Paul.
[PAUL] I can't handle it.
It's too much.
[PAUL]
It's too much.
Hey, Paul, it's me,
it's ten to 11:00.
I hope everything went well
at the hospital.
I'm at the gallery, give me
a call. Bye.
What time did he bring her
to the hospital?
And when did Mr. Stark leave?
Can I talk to the caregiver,
Imelda, is she there?
MIRANDA (V.O.)
November 18th, 3:00PM.
Because I do not know
what else to do...
I wait outside for S.
And follow him down the street.
[MIRANDA] What do you mean
he wasn't there?
He would never not be there to
drop her off at the hospital.
That would never happen.
MIRANDA (V.O.) I tell myself
it is only in my imagination.
But I fear S.
I fear S.
I fear S.

Hello?
ANDY (OVER PHONE)
Miranda, it's Andy.
Hi.
[ANDY]
Listen, I have some news.
Paul Stark's wife reported him
missing this morning.
Oh no, Andy.
[ANDY] Okay, just--
I thought it was in my head.
ARTHUR (V.O.)
You've done a bad thing.
[MIRANDA] Andy, I have to tell
you something.
I have to come to the police
station...
and make a statement... okay?
ARTHUR (V.O.)
You've done a bad thing.
ANDY (OVER PHONE) He was
supposed to pick her up...
[MIRANDA] I'm coming in now.
morning, but he never did, and
he wasn't in the apartment...
when the nurse showed up
yesterday morning.
The Nurse at the Stark
residence...
says you were there the night
before last.
Which means you were the
last person...
to actually see Paul Stark.
She says you were very upset.
What were you doing there
at 2:00 in the morning?
I just told you.
What is your relationship
to Paul Stark?
He's my friend.
And he's my dealer.
You are also having a sexual
relationship?
Yes.
Why didn't you tell us...
that you were having a sexual
relationship with Mr. Stark?
I didn't think of it.
You didn't think it would
matter...
that you're having an affair
with him?
No, it's not an affair.
It's-- it's an arrangement.
What kind of arrangement?
He loves his wife very much.
Did that make you jealous?
No.
Please, is anybody even looking
into the man...
that I followed to
The Nightingale on Friday?
So you went to visit your
lover... in a very upset state.
In the middle of the night.
Because you were having anxiety
over an art project.
What were you doing at The
Nightingale last Friday night?
I was following that man there.
This man in your photos?
Yes.
Because we have a witness...
that can put you near the bar
that night.
You have a witness that can
put me?
I came here and I told you
that I was there!
Why are you getting so agitated?
Hey.
You don't actually think
that I--
No, no, no, of course not,
don't even worry about that.
Listen, short of any DNA
evidence or a murder weapon...
turning up at your apartment
or something like that.
No, no one really believes that.
I'm guessing your guy will turn
up in a couple days.
Probably just took a little va--
needed a little time away.
What were you thinking?
I'm a cop.
And I take what I do seriously,
too. Ya know?
You kind of got inside me there
for a little while.
But... at the end of the day...
we don't really know each
other that well.

So tell me about tonight's
opening? Congratulations.
Thank you.
You found a cell phone
on the street.
You did not know
who it belonged to.
I started interviewing people
from the phone's address book...
about the man to whom it
belonged, Arthur Anderton.
I looked at his GPS history...
the places he had been,
visited those places...
photographed them... listened
to his music.
I began to see the phone
as a prism...
through which I might see
the man.
Was there anything that you
didn't look at?
I didn't look at his web history
or read his emails.
I wanted the device to...
offer up information...
that he might share with me
himself...
under different circumstances,
of course.
How does Arthur Anderton feel
about this?
While developing the exhibit,
his friends and family...
seemed to think that he
would love it.
But he didn't?
No.
Um... you also do performance
work?
What would you say is the
unifying theme...
The unifying theme?
...behind your, um...
everything you do?
Chance.
I like to allow circumstances to
present themself...
and then I rise up to meet them.
Circumstances are the...
dictator's of my work.
Like a piece of string, I pick
it up and follow it along...
and see where it takes me.
( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )
( MUSIC CONTINUES )
Thank you, thank you again...
and, um, I hope our paths
cross again.
Me, too.
Thanks. Bye.
Has he been walked?
Not since like 11:00.
Okay, maybe I'll walk him.
Come.
[KARIN] I won't be here
when you get back...
I'm gonna go get ready.
Okay, see you tonight.
Yeah.
How long have you been
representing her?
Uh... how long have I been
representing you?
Oh... a long time, we're old
friends.
He is my mentor at art school.
Oh.
[PAUL] Scary.
Thank you so much.
Thank you for coming.
I thought you named her.
So original.
No, we're just meeting.
This is Paul.
He's my uh... dealer, Paul.
Hi.
Arthur Anderton.
[MIRANDA]
And now with this technology...
we all walk around with these
phones...
kind of attached to ourselves.
[MIRANDA] We don't memorize
anybody's phone numbers anymore.
[MAN] Not at all.
Right?
[WOMAN] It's true!
Everything is just built...
in these little boxes.
Arthur?
I'm very glad you could
make it tonight.
Did my mother give you
this photo?
Yes.
I'm glad that you're here.
You don't find it awkward
to meet me?

It's very nice to meet you.

on the cover, you know?

was very good tonight.
How do you feel about the shoot
tomorrow?
Huh?
Can you just give me a minute?
Yeah.
Um, you know, Arthur is gonna
sue?
[MIRANDA] What?
Yeah, I had a little talk
with him.
Where are you going?
To get water. You want some?
No.

it's all a good thing.

Hey! Stop that!

What is it? What's going on?
There was this woman,
and he was--
Where? What happened?
On the ground.
But what happened?
He had her head down and he was
bashing her.
He looked right up at me.
Fuck! God damn it!
Let's call the police.
And tell them what?
And tell them!
I can't. I-- it wouldn't be
fair.
It wouldn't be fair.
I'll call from my cell phone
anonymously, an anonymous tip.
That's not anonymous, Miranda!
Is she okay? Do you think he's
still following her?
[PAUL] What are you gonna
say to them?
What did he look like?
He was a white guy.
He had dark hair.
Jesus!
Paper? Paper? Paper? Paper?
She had a coat.
Did you see his face?
He was looking right up at me.
OPERATOR (OVER PHONE)
You've reached 911.
You're call is important to us.
Please hold.
What's happening?
I've been put on hold.
Hold?
Hello? Yes, I'd like to report
an attack...
that took place on the corner
of Revery and 4th.
No, it's not going on now.
About 5 minutes.
What the hell?
I think it's weird that you
answered my phone.
What made you do that?
It was ringing.
Who was it?
Wrong number.
So what made you answer it?
Hello. Yes, I can.
Caucasian man, tan coat,
dark hair.
Yes, that's correct.
That's me.
Yes. Miranda F-A-L-L, Fall.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
They are sending someone
over tomorrow.
Oh, great.
Shoot.
Can you tell me anything else
about what he looked like?
Square-cut jaw. Dark hair.
Widows peak, maybe not.
Maybe not.
I just want to understand
it a little bit better...
so you be me, and I'll be you.
I'm sitting here.
The phone rings.
I go to answer it.
And I believe that I see an
attack happening below.
Now he was about right here.
And... um.
He had his right arm
in this position here...
and... and hurled my arms um,
behind her back all twisted up.
And he was-- he was sort
of bashing...
bashing her into the pavement.
And I made a noise up there and
he looked right up at me.
( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )
[MIRANDA] Um... I like the one
on the left, I think.
Okay. We'll get going on that
right away.
( KNOCK ON DOOR )
Thank You.
[MARTINELLI] No worries, boss,
start from downstairs.
Hello.
No way!
You called the police.
Um... first of all,
don't get excited.
This is not a coincidence.
Are you gonna let us in?
Come in! Come in! Come in!
Hi.
Hi.
I heard you called in.
You heard?
Yeah.
You're a bit of a cult figure
down at the precinct, so--
What?
In a former life, I went to
college with this young lady.
[MISS SNOW] Really?
I'm sorry. Miranda, this is Miss
Snow. She's the sketch artist.
Hi.
Hi.
Would it be okay if I--
Yes.
...set my things...
This is great.
Thanks.
I'm sorry, can I get you
some tea?
[MISS SNOW] No thanks, I'm fine.
Yeah, you have quite the
reputation with the police.
That thing you did with the,
um... surveillance camera.
[MIRANDA] Cameras!
Yeah.
That got you some friends.
That's really weird.
He had his right arm like this,
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 fucking 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.

out your stuff?

nose should be more elongated...
and the face more oval.

But I think... now I think the
face should be more oval.

need to stick to installations.

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 fucking 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 shit!
Excuse me.
Hey, are we supposed to be open?
Allison, do you have fucking
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.
And there she goes.
( SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES )
Mommy!
MIRANDA (V.O.)
October 28th. 6:00pm.
I have found you,
man number five.
And a new project begins.
PAUL (OVER PHONE)
Hello? It's me. Hello? It's me.
( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )
MIRANDA (V.O.)
First floor.
Third floor.
October 28th. 8:30pm.
I am in number five's hallway.
Right now the man is walking
around behind...
...this door.
The guy from the lineup
showed up at the gallery?
And the victim was in my house
just days ago.
PAUL (OVER SPEAKER)
Wow.
Yeah.
And it's not just that.
First time I saw him--
He probably followed you
from the police station.
The point of a line up, Paul,
is that they can't see you.
You know some of these guys
are real criminals.
It could have been the guy
that assaulted her.
What-- what is this piece
you are doing anyway?
What exactly are you
trying to do?
I don't know.
[PAUL'S WIFE] Paul?
Coming, darling...
to be continued.
Hi.
You wanted something?
No? Water? You sure?
MIRANDA (V.O.) October 31st...
you were never here.
Last night a man walked
into myself.
Let me take that again.
Last night, a man walked
into my life.
Hi, sorry, I'm a little late.
[MIRANDA] Hi.
Good to see you.
Have you been here long?
I can amuse myself.
Happy Halloween.
Would you like something
to drink?
Happy Halloween!
Come on!
Takes one to know one.
There you are.
Can I get you something?
Yeah... um... oh... hey!
Where's James tonight?
Excuse me?
Oh... I don't know,
I'm new here.
Well, you still serve scotch,
right?
[NEW BARTENDER] Always!
Yeah.
Well, I'll have a Macallan
on the rocks.
Sure thing, beautiful.
So?
Ignocio, where is James?
I have no idea.
Never showed up to work Monday.
We left a couple of messages.
So that's that. This guy here,
very nice.
That's that?
What can I say, I'm running
a business.
He's been here since
I moved here.
Years.
Well, do you have anyway
of getting in touch with him?
No, this way my way.
How is your family?
Happens all the time
in my business.
People getting fired?
No, people suddenly
not showing up anymore.
Ah... you'd be surprised.
Talking about the people
that just vanish.
Family files a report.
They think they're dead.
And then five years later,
they turn up...
somewhere across the country.
They don't take money
or clothes?
Sometimes... sometimes
they just--
That really happens?
That really happens.
Taxi! Airport, please.
( INDISTINCT )
Taxi! Airport, please!
Airport, please!
Taxi! Airport, please.
How's it going? How's the case?
It's over and done with.
[MIRANDA] What?
That's my news...
What happened?
They got their man.
Colleague of mine obtained
a confession...
to a bunch of different
assaults...
and your case was one of them.
One of the men in the lineup?
Yes.
When, when did this happen?
Uh... yesterday.
They incarcerated him yesterday?
Yes, they incarcerated him
yesterday.
That's good news.
That's good news.
That's really wonderful.
It is.
What about the other men
in the lineup?
Who were they?
What do you mean, who were they?
Were they all violent criminals?
Ah... no, they were not violent
criminals.
No?
Just a couple of cops.
A couple of petty thieves.
Thank you.
There is nobody violent,
dangerous?
Nobodies.
Incognito.
That was fun.
It was.
Um....
Goodnight.
Goodnight.
Get home safe.
MIRANDA (V.O.)
November 4th. 4:00pm.
From here on in,
let us call the man "S".
I follow S to a fairly busy
shopping district.
And I watch him buy a wrinkled
green and pink polka dot scarf.
Which the sales girl, in red,
is about to give him.
In a white bag.
I wonder, who is the woman,
that S is buying the scarf for?
[MIRANDA] Jax!
Hello?
Jax?
Jax!
Come here, boy.
Jax!
[MIRANDA] Hi, baby.
Hey.
Don't you feel well?
What the hell, Jax?
[MIRANDA] What the hell?
You peed?
Jax, what the hell?
[MIRANDA]
Get the ball, boy.
Don't you wanna play more?
Come on, baby.
Fetch the ball!
Come on, Jax.
Here we go. One more time.
Oh, there you are.
Here I am?
I've been here for the last
3 hours. Speaking of which...
Well, I was looking for you
ten minutes ago.
You weren't here.
Yes, I was.
Must of been in the bathroom.
I haven't left my chair
for literally three hours.
Whatever. I, um, I just wanted
to let you know...
that my nephews are here.
Oh... Nino and Sammy.
And... Detective Andy called
on the office line.
I know.
It was the same in college.
Trust me.
Oh, my goodness.
Did you guys have a thing?
Oh, come on, just tell me.
That's not going to work...
because I'm actually not going
to be here.
[KARIN] Yeah, we leave...
Come on, soccer! Yeah!
...on Thursday night and
get in Friday morning.
[MIRANDA]
Get the ball!
[KARIN] Wednesday, we're coming
back. Uh-huh.
So we're gonna get in Friday
morning.
So it's just a little tight.
Hey, Jax! Where are you, honey?
Come here, sweetheart.
Bang!
Jax is acting strangely, huh?
Uh, yeah...
it's like somebody's replaced my
dog with another dog.
Bang!
This looks yummy.
I'm making them dinner.
Do you want some?
Yes, please.
Mm-hm.
What's wrong?
No, I'm stressed about my trip.
Honey, your trip is going to be
wonderful.
I told you my cousin
is gonna be here.
She said she'd be happy
to help with anything.
No strangers in the house.
What's with that self portrait?
What self portrait?
That's the assailant!
That's the police sketch.
Oh, I thought it was you.
[BOY] That's not a real gun.
Because it was Halloween...
and they wanted the full like
haunted house experience.
And then all of a sudden,
I just feel myself grabbed...
and pulled up, and I can't even
breathe.
And I'm snorting out
of my nose...
to wake up the people
in the room.
Thank God they saw me.
I'm like at 45 degrees.
They spring up.
And they're shaking me,
and my eyes are open.
And I'm going.
Like trying to get to them.
And then finally whatever it was
was released.
Instead of me getting out of bed
or anything you'd imagine.
I just curled up into this fetal
position.
Felt so violated and I was
like no.
Oh, no.
That's terrifying.
It was terrifying,
and then I stayed awake.
I would not...
Of course, you did.
And waited until--
Oh wow, waited for her
to come back.
That was it, I was done.
I haven't had anybody this nice
to me in a long time.
Did you know that heart cells...
want to beat at the same time.
So, like if you put a cell
from my heart...
and a cell from yours...
in a dish together, within
however many, I don't know...
hours they would be pulsing
at the same time.
They like reach towards each
other to try to sync up.
It's true.
I'm waiting to see if they
start to sync up.
[MIRANDA]
Jax?
Hello?
Yeah, yeah.
Well, he wouldn't be putting
the painting up...
if he wasn't trying to sell
the fucking thing.
Tell him he's a surrealist.
I think Arthur may have been
in my apartment.
What?
Twice now I've come home...
and the big Chaise lounge
was in a different place.
Well, you had painters in there
all week.
Well, they finished last week.
And Karin left for Paris
on Thursday.
Okay.
Did one of them have a key?
No.
But the lock on my building door
is broken.
Was your sibling in the
building?
I have to ask him.
I don't think so.
Although I wonder.
Is it fair of me to deny Arthur
access to my apartment?
What?
Well, there can't be one set
of rules for me...
and another for everyone else.
Audrey, give me Stearns on the
phone, okay?
Arthur? Arthur?
How would he have gotten in?
I keep a key under my doormat.
And you-- you think Arthur came
into your apartment...
and moved your Chaise lounge
around?
Oh, Jesus.
Are those real?
MIRANDA (V.O.)
November 12th. 9:00 PM.
I am absolutely freezing.
Watch here as I try to warm
my frozen feet.
I follow S down a street not
far from where I live myself.
I'm just a few paces behind...
though he does not acknowledge
me.
He must know I am here, by now.
Earlier today, S took me to the
west side of the city.
Where he allowed me to get
very close.
Before disappearing from my
sights all together.
And then--
[MIRANDA]
Oh, my God.
MIRANDA (V.O.) Like he walked
right into me again.
Right into... this very room.
Hello.
Hello.
Uh... Mr. Martinelli?
Did you move a chair
in my apartment?
Move your chair?
Yes, the Chaise lounge in my
apartment.
Would you like some help
with something, Ms. Fall?
No, don't worry about it.
Thank you.

Hello. I'm sorry to disturb
you so late.
Hi!
Uh... the door down stairs
was open.
Oh, yes, I know.
I've just made some tea.
Would you like some.
Scene of the crime.
How are you feeling?
I've been such a fan of yours
all these years.
I don't know.
I'm not the same as I was
the last time I was here.
My DNA is different.
Thank you.
Why is it that when you got to
the police station...
you couldn't identify anyone?
I'm sorry, it's so crazy.
Because I was here, and then it
was you who witnessed it.
What's your new project about?
They did find him.
I know. I know. I just--
I just-- I need to know
what happened?
I heard a man's voice at the
window.
And I know I did.
I need to know what your new
project is about.
Paul Stark saw you get attacked,
not me.
Oh my God.
What if they hadn't caught him?
What if they hadn't caught him.
Did you know that Arthur
Anderton was in the hospital?
Tried to kill himself.
Is he going to be okay?
They don't know. He shot
himself.
What's going on, Miranda?

I must rise and meet the

I must follow the stream.

Love this photo.
[MIRANDA]
Which one?
The one of little you, and your
mom and your dad.
Oh yeah... that's a nice one.
I've been looking and looking
at it a lot recently.
Hey.
Hey.
The morning my parents died,
my mom called...
to see if there was anything
that I wanted from home?
And I said, my white shirt.
I don't know how long she spent
looking for the white shirt...
but I know she spent sometime
looking for the white shirt.
And I know that in a car crash
where a matter of moments...
or a moment is the difference
between life and death.
That if I hadn't of asked
for the white shirt...
they would still be alive.
I am disappearing, Andy.
You are right here.
Hi.
Hi.
Is that really what I look like?
It was so real for me
when we were at school.
Did you feel it, too?
I always wanted to ask you.
I was just a boy.
By the way, you should be glad
you weren't able to ID anyone.
Because they put me back
on the case.
Apparently someone went missing
from your spot.
The Nightingale.
What?
A young woman went missing
the other night.
But they found the guy?
Cops can be assholes.
But he confessed?
A coerced confession.
How?
What?
How could you not have
told me this?
I just did.
Don't worry. You're not involved
any more.
But I am involved, though.
I am involved.
Do you have any idea who it is?
No.
And what about this woman
at The Nightingale.
We think that your case might
be connected...
to this girl who's gone missing.
She's gone missing?
Yes, Friday.
[MIRANDA]
Friday? This last Friday?
What the hell?
This last Friday?
Yes.
( KNOCKING )
Ssh, she's asleep.
She hasn't been able to get
to sleep.
Mr. Stark, I'm going to head
home.
I will see you first thing
in the morning.
Thank you, Imelda, thank you
very much.
I don't know how
to thank you enough.
Okay, yeah.
1:00 AM is early to start
drinking.
You look awful.
Uh-huh.
Paul?
Hm?
Oh, God, let me guess
where this is going.
I need to know if this
is the same man...
you saw attack Margeret?
I thought they nailed this guy?
No.
I don't know... it's hard
to say.
I can't see him properly.
Can you please try to guess?
I don't know what to tell you.
Tomorrow morning, I want you
to come with me...
and I'll take you to him.
And you'll tell me if it's
the same man...
you saw outside of my
apartment, okay?
Tomorrow morning I have an
appointment at the hospital.
Do you have eyes?
A woman disappeared from
The Nightingale...
the night I followed this man
there.
People might get hurt, Paul.
( DEVICE BEEPING )
She's awake.
He put something in my closet.
He put a scarf in my closet.
All right, look.
I'll meet you tomorrow morning
at 10:30 at the gallery.
After I drop her off.
Are you okay?
Do you wanna sleep here
over night?
You know when you said, "He
looked right up at me,"?
Does that mean that he saw you?
I'm scared for you, Paul.
What if he's dangerous and you
can ID him?
You know this thing with Arthur?
I mean... he was unstable
from the very beginning...
there is no way you could have
known that, cookie.
I think it's time to go
to the police.
You know what this is for me?
( WEEPING )
I love her.
I know.
I really...
I know, Paul.
[PAUL] I can't handle it.
It's too much.
[PAUL]
It's too much.
Hey, Paul, it's me,
it's ten to 11:00.
I hope everything went well
at the hospital.
I'm at the gallery, give me
a call. Bye.
What time did he bring her
to the hospital?
And when did Mr. Stark leave?
Can I talk to the caregiver,
Imelda, is she there?
MIRANDA (V.O.)
November 18th, 3:00PM.
Because I do not know
what else to do...
I wait outside for S.
And follow him down the street.
[MIRANDA] What do you mean
he wasn't there?
He would never not be there to
drop her off at the hospital.
That would never happen.
MIRANDA (V.O.) I tell myself
it is only in my imagination.
But I fear S.
I fear S.

Hi.
[ANDY]
Listen, I have some news.
Paul Stark's wife reported him
missing this morning.
Oh no, Andy.
[ANDY] Okay, just--
I thought it was in my head.
ARTHUR (V.O.)
You've done a bad thing.
[MIRANDA] Andy, I have to tell
you something.
I have to come to the police
station...
and make a statement... okay?
ARTHUR (V.O.)
You've done a bad thing.
ANDY (OVER PHONE) He was
supposed to pick her up...
[MIRANDA] I'm coming in now.
morning, but he never did, and
he wasn't in the apartment...
when the nurse showed up
yesterday morning.
The Nurse at the Stark
residence...
says you were there the night
before last.
Which means you were the
last person...
to actually see Paul Stark.
She says you were very upset.
What were you doing there
at 2:00 in the morning?
I just told you.
What is your relationship
to Paul Stark?
He's my friend.
And he's my dealer.
You are also having a sexual
relationship?
Yes.
Why didn't you tell us...
that you were having a sexual
relationship with Mr. Stark?
I didn't think of it.
You didn't think it would
matter...
that you're having an affair
with him?
No, it's not an affair.
It's-- it's an arrangement.
What kind of arrangement?
He loves his wife very much.
Did that make you jealous?
No.
Please, is anybody even looking
into the man...
that I followed to
The Nightingale on Friday?
So you went to visit your
lover... in a very upset state.
In the middle of the night.
Because you were having anxiety
over an art project.
What were you doing at The
Nightingale last Friday night?
I was following that man there.
This man in your photos?
Yes.
Because we have a witness...
that can put you near the bar
that night.
You have a witness that can
put me?
I came here and I told you
that I was there!
Why are you getting so agitated?
Hey.
You don't actually think
that I--
No, no, no, of course not,
don't even worry about that.
Listen, short of any DNA
evidence or a murder weapon...
turning up at your apartment
or something like that.
No, no one really believes that.
I'm guessing your guy will turn
up in a couple days.
Probably just took a little va--
needed a little time away.
What were you thinking?
I'm a cop.
And I take what I do seriously,
too. Ya know?
You kind of got inside me there
for a little while.
But... at the end of the day...
we don't really know each
other that well.
