"I asked you to come to Mia's party three weeks ago, you never called me back." "Well, I can't make it, Donna." "Why not?" "Because I have a big client dinner." "Ha." "Well, that's way more important than your daughter's birthday." "Listen, she is 3 years old, okay?" "Three years old, okay?" "Do you think she cares whether I'm there or not?" "You know what, Joe?" "As a husband, as a father, you are a fucking joke!" "You know what?" "You're a bitch, Donna." "What did you say?" "You're a fucking bitch!" "Fuck.." "Fuck!" "We don't make ads for Joe Doakes."

"I was thinking, what do you say you and I, we get together this weekend, ditch the old man, bottle of Scotch, eight ball of coke, dirty movies on Skinemax?" "What?" "Excuse me?" "Heh." "Let me get this straight." "You think I said those things because I wanna fuck you?" "Yeah." "No." "No?" "No." "I wanna get out of here and away from you as fast as humanly possible." "Daniel likes you, God knows why." "Okay." "Yeah?" "But, Joe?" "You're a dick." "And I would rather fuck a corpse." "Joe." "You wanna disrespect me?" "No." "I didn't.." "That's all right."

"Police confirmed that she was raped and savagely beaten to death." "The victim was the mother of a 3-year-old girl who was inside the apartment at the time of the killing." "To quote forensic investigators:" "The evidence is irrefutable." "Prime suspect Joseph Doucett was the victim's former husband and father of the surviving child." "That's all from Stephanie Lee, here on the scene." "Back to you, Michael." "Remember, your enemy is most vulnerable just before he strikes." "This area is extremely dangerous." "Don't let your guard down for a second." "They're everywhere." "This is really big." "We need to think about what our next move will be." "We must figure out a plan and execute it." "More importantly, we need to get you two together." " You have to speak with him." " Unfortunately, it didn't work." "He's still alive." "We're going to have to try something else." "I don't know."

"We adopted Mia shortly after the tragedy." "Neither her mother or this Doucett murderer had any living relatives so we were lucky enough to.." "Blessed." "Yeah." "We were blessed to have this angel come into our lives." " Does Mia know what happened?" " No." "I mean, she knows she's adopted and that her real mother is gone but no more than that." "We're waiting until she's older to tell her." "I wanted to talk to Mia, but instead, Ken and Shirley Roos let us watch their daughter do what she loves best." "Ah.." "Ah." "Yay."

"I'm sorry, that's not what I was asking." "I hate him for what he did." "No, there's a part of me that hates him for what he did but there's another part that wants to understand, that wants to ask why." "Your father's been missing for 20 years." "I don't know if you presume he's dead but if I could somehow bring him here, do you think you could forgive him?" "Uh.." "I could try." "Mia Roos is a beautiful and very talented young woman but what's most impressive about her is her gentle and compassionate spirit." "I only hope that she's able to find some kind of closure one day." "This mystery may remain unsolved, but one thing is clear." "Justice always prevails." "I'm James Prestley." "God bless you."

""Never Say Die Senior Citizen Club."" " That's him?" " Yeah." "Why is he on the list?" "Because he was my boss." "Is there an address?" "Uh, yeah." "This guy?" "Okay." "Yeah, yeah, yeah."

"I didn't even recognize him at first." "Comes inside, we sit down, he starts telling me this crazy story." "What's the story?" "How do you know him?" "I don't." "You don't." "Well, what's the story?" "I said enough already." "I don't know who you are." "Come on, Chucky!" "It's 9:00 already!" "Shit." "Okay, I gotta open the joint." "Okay." "I'm gonna stick around and make sure he's all right for a while." "Hold your horses." "Dear daughter, dear Mia," "I have been unjustly held in this god-awful place for almost 20 years." "When I'm free of this place, and I will be free of it, my purpose will be simple and pure." "I intend to prove my love for you." "To do this, I must find the man who put me here." "I am your father." "Now it is my duty, now it is my responsibility to take care of you." "To love you, Mia." "Please give me that chance."

"What if I thought you knew too much, huh?" "Reading my letters." "What if I felt like I needed to kill you right now?" "Then I suppose I'd be dead." "Joe, please take your hands off me." "If you are trying to find your daughter and clear your name, I could help you." "Or let me take you to people who can." "There are social workers, legal aid, even oops I trust."

"I can't tell you that." "Then do me a favor and shut the fuck up." "Who hired you?" "I don't know his fucking name!" "Who hired you?" "No, no, no." "I swear." "I swear it's the truth." "It's the truth." "I never ask their names." "They never tell." "Oh, goddamn you, motherfucker!" "God..!" "Oh, goddamn!" "Oh, no." "Oh, please." "Please." "I know you're gonna tell me something."

"Sir, this business existed long before my tenure and will continue long after I'm gone." "Never has a released guest made its existence known to the outside world." " You've convinced me." " Good." "How long will we have the pleasure of entertaining this Mr. Doucett as a guest?" "Twenty years." "Get your asses up here now." "Open the door!" " See?" " Chaney!" "I told you." "Well, do we?" " You tell those motherfuckers.." " Tell them what?" "Aah!" "Get the fuck away from the door!" "Move away from the fucking door!" "You hear me say get away?" "Get away from the door." "Back the fuck up!" "Back up!" "All right!" "Easy." "Easy now." "Back up!" "Easy." "Easy." "You're not gonna get away with this, Joe." "Back up." "Easy." "Easy." "Easy, Joe." "Now!" "Get him!"

"What the fuck happened?" "Come on." "Come on, Joe." "Hello?" "Marie, he needs to stay down for at least a week." "Keep movement to a minimum because we don't wanna tear out those sutures." "He lost a lot of blood, but if he stays down, he should be all right." "Half a centimeter difference on some lacerations, it could've been a different story." "I really appreciate this, Tom." "You should let me take him to the hospital." "Why not?" "Well, you can't." "Somebody tried to kill him." "Isn't that something we should call the police over?" "Well, I'm asking you not to." "He isn't a stray dog or a bird with a broken wing, Marie." "I know that you love your lost causes but sometimes we meet people who can get us to engage in old thinking." "So, what, you think I'm using again?" "Is that what you think?" "Fuck you." "Come in." "Hey." "Just wanted to see if you were feeling all right." "I just wanna take a look at that wound on your back really quickly, if that's okay." "Just turn around here." "Unh." "Sorry." "Okay." "Well, it looks like the bleeding has stopped, so that's a good sign." "I can't tell you what to do." "And I can't tell Marie either." "But I can tell you this." "She's been through a lot." "And if there's one thing that she doesn't need any more of from anyone, it's pain." "Please don't hurt her." "He likes you." "Do you like him?" "Uh, no." "That was a long time ago." "Well, he still likes you." "I got your suit cleaned for you." "They didn't, um.." "They didn't patch up the hole." "Can I help you?" "Here." "Well, I think you should go." "Come on, go." "Come on, get out of here." "Go." "Are you serious?" "Don't come back." "Go." "Come on, go." "All right, ladies and gentlemen, last call for alcohol." "Speak up or forever hold your peace." "Hello?" "Hello." "Hello." "I thought it was time we met." "Aah!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "What the..?" "Cool." "Be cool." "All right, all right." "Kill me now and die seconds later never knowing why." "Stop it!" "I have your daughter." "If you'd like to see her alive again," "I hope we can continue without the violence." "May I see your list?" "No." "It's of no use to you, trust me." "I have a proposition for you, Joseph." "If you should accept and succeed, you will be greatly rewarded." "Firstly, with a video tape recording of the rape and murder of your wife," "Donna Hawthorne." "No!" "No!" "Oh, God, no." " No." "I don't wanna watch it." " No!" "Please." "Turn it off." "Say goodbye." "Say goodbye." " Turn it off." "Turn it off." " Very well." "Secondly, my handwritten confession to that crime and your kidnapping and imprisonment." "Thirdly, and this is my favorite one, 20 million dollars in diamonds." "Lastly, and again, this is only if you should succeed," "I will put a bullet through my brain, and you can watch." "Answer two questions." "One, who am I?" "And two, why did I imprison you for 20 years?" "If you provide satisfactory answers to both of these questions in little more than 46 hours from now, you win." "Refusal of the challenge brings the same result as failure." "You stay a fugitive from justice, you get no reward, no closure, and I kill your daughter." "If you or anyone you know should go to the police or try to warn Mia, the consequences will be severe." "Especially for her." "If you doubt the extent of my will or my reach," "I suggest you look in on your friend Marie." "That is a live broadcast." "My proposition, yes or no?" "Yes." "It's 629 Cooper Street, and you'd better hurry." "Marie." "Marie." "Marie." "Hey, Joe." "I was gonna let Cortez here have some fun with her." "But now that you're here, the bitch can wait." " Let's get him up on the table." " Come on." "Let's go." "Let's go." "Pull him up." "The last person that got the better of me," "I tracked her funky ass down and tortured her for 16 fucking days." "Now, compared to what I'm about to do to you, that was like an ant fucking an elephant." "Yes?" "I'm afraid I can't do that." "Reparations must be made." "Indeed it was you who gave me this address and I appreciate that, but.." "No." "No, there's nothing you can give me that will stop me.." ""Go to the door."" " Cortez." " Yo." "Cortez." "Move." "Oh, well, maybe I can.." "I thank you for your generosity, sir." "Damn." "And thank you for appreciating my sacrifice." "Yes, sir." "You have a good evening too." "You are a lucky motherfucker, you know that?" "Let's go." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "Hey." "Hey." "Hey." "It's okay." "It's okay." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I have a friend downtown, so I can, um.." "I can stay with her." "I don't feel safe here anymore." "Hello?" "Every time he calls, the same music plays." "Uh, Evergreen Academy." "Have you ever heard of that?" "The prep school I went to." "This is so weird, I can't find anything." "Here's something." "Who's Edwina Burke?" "She was the headmistress." "She might know something." "I used to drink a lot." "Yeah, well, I used to drink, and I also did a shitload of other stuff, but.." "Tonight was actually.." "It was the first time that I wanted to use again." "I'm glad you're here." "Uh, Miss Burke?" "Edwina Burke from Evergreen Academy?" "Yes." "I was wondering if I could talk to you about a former student?" "Joe Doucett." " Come in." " I hope I'm not disturbing you." "Not at all." "I was just making some tea." "Please, sit." "Joseph Doucett." "Do you remember him?" "Of course." "We had many students gain notoriety, but he was our only murderer." "Thank God." "Well, what if I told you that Joe Doucett is innocent and another man killed his wife?" "Someone he knew at Evergreen." "Why don't you tell me who you are?" "I'm sorry." "My name's Marie Sebastian." "Have you heard of the Innocence Project?" "The Innocence Project works with convicted felons." "Joseph disappeared 20 years ago." "Excuse me." "You really think he didn't do it?" "We have evidence that suggests he was framed." "That comes as some relief." "He was a very handsome boy." "Terrible student, but Donna adored him but he never appreciated that or her." "He was the kind of boy who thought very highly of himself and no one else." "In fact, he could be quite cruel to the others." "Always with a grin, as if it were a joke." "I always felt he was a bit of a lost soul." "You said you thought it might be another student?" " I'm assuming Joe had enemies?" " Many." "But for one to do something so horrible?" "That would require a very deep level of hatred." "Well, was there someone?" "Anyone like that?" "I honestly don't remember." "I drove by the academy this morning." "What happened?" "They took it from him." "My father built it brick by brick." "The board of directors sold it to some faceless corporation and the gates have been locked ever since." "It's all still there." "Files, records, the entire history of the school, abandoned." "Bye." "Marie." "When you first arrived, you said you believe Joe is innocent not was." "I assumed he was dead." "Thank you." "God, you went to school here?" "A long time ago." "Let's come back tonight." "Okay." "Hello?" "I didn't know him back then." "I don't even recognize the name." "Your friends?" "Maybe they know him." "I haven't seen those assholes in years." "I doubt they'd talk to me." "I hated everything about that fucking place, except you." "I'm sorry, Joe." "No, there's nothing to be sorry about." "Let me see what I can find out." "Okay?" "All right." "We should change your bandage." "Need help?" "Yeah, please." "Sister?" "The party you have called is not available." "Leave a message." "Joe, it's Chucky." "Call me as soon as you get this." "It's not about him, it's about her." "The whore, remember?" "Jesus, Joe, call me." "Chucky?" "Chucky?" "You called her a whore." "You called her a whore!" "Whore!" "Whore!" "Whore!" "Adrian Pryce." "Adrian Pryce." "I got it." ""As we begin our preparation for the new year, I'd like to call attention"" ""to the arrival of a new legacy student from the Pryce family, Amanda Pryce."" "Will you check for Amanda?" "Nineteen eighty-six." "I got it." "Amanda Pryce." ""It has come to my attention that the Pryce family is relocating to Luxembourg."" "Do you remember her?" "Now, hold on." "Freshwomen should be in their rooms." "This is a serious infraction." "Give it back to me." "Hey, Joe, leave her alone." "If she wants to go, let her go." "Donna, shut up." "This is sexy." "Very sexy." "Huh, Chucky?" "Give it back to me." "Aw." "What a fucking freak." "Here, douche bag." "GIRL 1:" "Disgusting." " Hey." " Come on." "Joe, let her through." "What dorm number are you in?" " Come on, let her go." " Aw.." " Really?" " That bitch." "Chucky, shut the fuck up." "You gonna let her talk to me like that?" "I don't care, I'm drunk." "Now, let's get back." "I can't be missed." "Here you go." "There. "Family Tragedy in Luxembourg."" "We are in the midst of a most unpleasant mess." "The crime scene indicates a double murder, suicide, and one seriously injured young man." "The names cannot be released at this time awaiting the family identification." ""Son Tells Tale of Murder."" "That's him." "The man in the greenhouse that night." "He was her father." "Chucky, where are you?" "Call me." "Shh." "Shh, Shh, Shh." "If he kills you, you're not gonna see your daughter." "Okay?" "And if you kill him, you're still not going to see your daughter." "Just don't go." "I don't have a choice." "Please." "I don't want you to go." "Listen to me." "You promise me you'll stay in this room." "Hey." "Don't call anyone, don't talk to anyone." "You stay." "Will you promise?" "Yes." "This is Dr. Tom Melby." "Listen carefully to what I tell you." "Is Marie okay?" "Write this down, you'll need directions." "I'm ready." "Tell me where to go." "Where's Mia?" "Where's Mia?" "There." "Where?" "Where is she?" "Here." "Quite close by, actually." "But you will not see her, you will not save her until I have your answers." "Please put that away." "She will suffer great pain if you do not." "Your reward." "As I said, I'm a man of my word." "So who am I?" "Adrian Doyle Pryce." "Why did I imprison you for 20 years?" "You blame me for what happened." "Elaborate." "I saw your sister with a man, down at the greenhouse." ""They were fucking." "They were fucking."" "Isn't that what you told everyone?" "Yes." "I told Donna." "I told Chucky, I told half of Evergreen." "Gossip spreads like the plague." "Amanda's a whore!" "Whore!" "Whore!" "Stop it!" "Whore!" "Whore!" "Whore!" "Leave me alone!" " Chucky!" "Stop it now!" " Whore!" "Whore!" "Whore!" "Chucky!" "Stop it now!" "I didn't do anything!" "You have no idea how difficult it was for Amanda then." "The torture that she endured, all because of you." "Continue." "I didn't know it was your father until today." "The school must have found out what was going on, and he got your family out of the States as fast as possible." "I'm only guessing, but running didn't help." "He must've been afraid of what was coming." "You know nothing of my father." "He knew no fear, only love." "Arthur Pryce was a great man." "He will always be a great man." "What we had together.." "was beautiful and special and pure." "My father did what he did to honor and preserve that." "Father." "Father." "Daddy." "My father loved my mother." "Daddy." "He loved my sister." "And he loved me." "You see, Joseph, my sister Amanda and I thought that what we had with my father would last forever." "That nobody could take it from us." "And yet, you did." "And, yes, that is why I imprisoned you for 20 years." "It seems you've won, Mr. Doucett." "Take me to Mia." "Yes, of course." "Do you know what I find fascinating, Joseph?" "All this time, you never stopped to ask the most fundamental question of all." "Why did I let you go?" "Mind your head." "Introducing one of the longest-running shows on television but it had only a single viewer." "You." "We adopted Mia shortly after the tragedy." "Neither her mother or this Doucett murderer had any living relatives." "So we were lucky enough to.." "Blessed." "Yes, we were blessed." "Isn't it amazing?" "People just believe whatever they see on television." "Thank you, Ashley." "You can go." "What..?" " Joseph." "Ha-ha-ha." " No." "No." "Mia." "Mia!" "Mia!" "Oh, Joseph." "Joseph, that is not your daughter." "Ashley is a musician and very well paid actress that I've had in my employ since she was 10 years old." "Ha-ha-ha." "Oh, goodness." "Enough with the games." "You tell me where she is." "You tell me." "Answer the question you never asked." "Why did I let you go?" "You tell me." "You tell me." "You know the answer, Joseph." "In your heart of hearts, you know the plain and simple truth." " Mia." "Mia." " It took a while.." "Mia." "Where are you going?" "To change her name.." "her records.." "to find the right parents." "An insensitive mother, a loving father taken from her too soon." "It took 20 years to create her." "A sensitive, caring woman, eager to help those in need because she herself had overcome such a troubled past." "The kind of woman who couldn't help but fall in love with a man like you.." "Joseph Doucett." "No!" "No, no, no!" "God!" "No, God, no, please, no!" "Please, God, no!" " Joe?" "Joe?" " No way, no way, no!" "Aah." "No." "No, no, no." "No, no, no." "You can't hurt her." "Who is this?" "Leave her out of it, please." "Please." "Who is this?" "Please, please, please." "No, don't hurt her." "Hurt me." "Hurt me." "Kill me." "Yes, yes, yes." "Yes." "Kill me." "Please." "Shh." "Shh." "I don't want to kill you, Joseph." "Please kill me." "This is why I let you go." "Shh." "So that I could experience this moment with you." "So that you could truly understand what I had, and what you took from me." "Heaven make me free of it." "The rest is silence." ""Dear Marie, you will never see me again."" ""I'm gone from your life forever."" ""I have done something terrible."" ""Something unforgivable."" ""And for it, I must be punished."" ""For a short while, I was happy.."" ""because of you.""
