Never Here

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. - Hey...

I'm going to start with the cabinets.

That sounds great. It's chaos we're remodeling.

Make yourself at home.

Come on... come on, Jax!

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.

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.

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.

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.

And now with this technology...

we all walk around with these phones...

kind of attached to ourselves.

We don't memorize anybody's phone numbers anymore.

Not at all. Right?

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.

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?

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?

What?

Yeah, I had a little talk with him.

Where are you going?

To get water. You want some?

No.

Ow! Ow! Fuck, who moved this thing?

You know... if he sues, it's all a good thing.

Hello?

No, there's no one here by that name.

Oh!

Paul?

- Hey! Hey! Hey! - 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?

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.

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.

Um... I like the one on the left, I think.

Okay. We'll get going on that right away.

Thank You.

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.

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?

No thanks, I'm fine.

Yeah, you have quite the reputation with the police.

That thing you did with the, um... surveillance camera.

Cameras! Yeah.

That got you some friends.

That's really weird.
