Do you Harold?

Hope you like eggs you loser!

you freak!

Dude, it's me, Yobo!

Eric Jakubowski, from grade school, man!

How the hell you been?

Addy, your stupid car broke down.

So maybe we could work something out.

No, please, stop!

Stop!

What did she call you?

Hail Ma-Mary.

Mary, oh my God, what the hell are you doing?

I have to save her.

Daddy!

Good morning, Ashbourne Falls.

The disappearance of seven local residents

has left our community on edge.

Each day passing without answers feels like an eternity.

Was it a string of terrible accidents, or could there

be a more sinister truth lurking beneath the surface?

Our news team has been tirelessly investigating

this shocking turn of events.

We've reached out to the authorities for comment,

but they have remained tight-lipped, leaving

us all to speculate and question. - You shouldn't watch this.

It's not good for your blood pressure.

Come on, ma, ma, you need to eat.

I'm not hungry.

Ma, you need to eat so you can take your pill.

Oh, I hate this thing, honey.

Am I ever gonna see your handsome face again?

You know, your face never bothered me.

The doctors, they insisted on fixing it.

But I told them, this is the way the good Lord

made my boy and He doesn't make mistakes.

Come on, take it, please.

Thank you.

Must be more trick-or-treaters.

Ma... - One at a time now.

Remember, this is all we've got.

Ma, ma, Halloween was three weeks ago.

You know this.

It's November now.

I'll be right back.

How can I help you?

Hi, I'm Trina from Adult Protective Services.

I'm here to check on Hilda Newmaystar?

It's Newmister.

Oh, My apologies, Newmister.

And you are?

Harold.

Ah, Harold.

It's been about a month now since the police found your

mother wandering about in the streets alone at night.

Oh, well now I'm sure you know that's just a symptom of her

advancing dementia.

Well, I'm here today to see what steps

you're taking to improve her care here at home.

I do laundry.

Mm-hmm, wow.

I clean up.

Well, Harold, according to my records, you don't have

any formal training on being a caregiver.

And according to your neighbor, Betsy,

you're always out late and your mother's always here home alone.

I'm gonna level with you sweetie.

Your mother needs to be in a facility or have an

in-home caregiver.

I'm actually gonna start work soon and

I just placed an ad last week in the paper.

Huh. - Looking for an in-home caregiver.

I'd prefer to keep her in the home.

She's lived here her whole life and she feels safe here.

Oh, that's sweet.

Well, here's my card.

I'll be back in a couple weeks to check in.

You have a great morning, Harry.

It's-it's Harold.

Ma.

Enough with the puzzle.

Eat, please.

You're going to get diarrhea if you don't eat.

Come on, more than that, Ma.

Life is like a puzzle.

You just have to find your missing piece.

Maybe if you'd shave off that beard, you could find

yourself a good woman and I could die in peace.

You're not gonna die, Ma.

Oh, Harold, you don't think those pills are

gonna save me, right?

Just delaying the inevitable.

I tell ya,

they just do enough to keep me hanging on by a thread.

Could ya just fulfill a dying woman's final wish and find

yourself a good woman!

Stop, Ma!

Where are you going?

Out!

Well, I thought we were gonna do the puzzle together.

We will.

When I come back, all right?

Okay?

Hey honey, what are you looking for?

Oh.

Honey, are you okay?

I-I've never done this before.

My mother says I need to wait for a nice girl.

Well honey, I can talk you through it, but maybe you

should wait for someone special.

Look, I'm sorry, I can pay you for your time.

Oh, honey, you don't have to pay me.

Is this enough?

Well, maybe we could just talk.

Oh.

Look, let me take you back, I need to get home.

My mother needs me.

Put on your seatbelt please.

Honey, I only like getting restrained if I'm getting paid.

Do you have any idea what the statistics are on

accidents in which people don't wear their seatbelts?

Put it on!

Okay.

Freak.

This is an original convertible.

Oh, look at that stitching.

Oh, wow.

Oh, so cool.

Oh, this is called Lincoln Green.

It's mint and kind of lime and

yellow because inside with the .

Yep, yep, very minty, very minty.

Oh, here it is.

So, what you think?

Um, it's really red.

You know, your pop-pop, he didn't like me at first.

Can't say I blame him, but after a while

he sort of warmed up to the idea of me and your mom dating.

He even brought me to a car show and told me

what his dream car was, 1955 Packard 400, just like this one.

Yeah, so since he's retiring, your mom and I thought that

we would get him one as a present.

What do you think?

Take a look.

I see you found her all right.

Yeah, she's even more beautiful in person.

I should say so.

And who is this little lady?

What's your name?

I'm Mabel.

Mabel?

Well, you can call me Uncle Tony.

Tony, we really love this car.

Tell me, what's the best you can do for me on it?

Yeah, what do you think, Mabel?

Do you really want the car?

Um, okay.

If you pay cash, I can knock off 500 bucks for you.

Cash it is.

I'll pick her up just after the new year.

Perfect.

It was nice meeting you, dear.

I'll see you next year.

Hey.

Dad.

Oh, I'm in a bad place.

I'm in a bad place.

I don't know how I got here.

I don't know what to do.

And I'm completely alone.

Completely alone.

Mabel, you're not alone.

You carry a piece of me with you, always.

Life has thrown you into storms, but storms pass.

Your troubles will, too.

No.

No.

Because I am alone.

Completely alone.

Like oh my god, I wish you were here.

I wish you were...

I wish that I could hear your voice

and I wish you could talk to me,

and I wish you could help me.

I wish you could help me.

My voice is in the wind, and all the little things that

make you happy, make you smile.

Close your eyes.

Feel the sun on your face.

Listen.

You'll hear me.

I-I miss you, Dad.

I miss you too.

What the fuck?

Who the hell are you?

Who do you...

Who are you?

I'm so sorry, I just wanted a place to sleep for the night.

I'll leave, don't call the police.

Please, I'll leave.

Sleep?

Not in my packer.

This is not a cheap motel, little lady.

I know, I'm sorry, but you don't understand.

Because when I was a little girl, my dad used to bring me here.

And it's so cold and snowy

outside, and I don't know, I just...

Little Mabel?

You're all grown up now.

I remember you and your dad.

Whatever happened to him?

Oh, he got hacked to shit by your mom, right?

I'm sorry kid.

That must have been hard.

Um, you know, you're such a beautiful little girl.

I'm glad to see that you grew up the same way.

You know I can't let you sleep in the car.

What kind of guy would that make me?

But I think I can help you out.

I have a spare bedroom, would you like to sleep there?

It's been a while since I've had a girl as pretty as you there.

Where are you going?

you're supposed to be sleeping.

What are you doing?

Put that down, sweetie.

You fucking bitch.
