Cage

Hi, this is Gracie.

How can I help you tonight?

Yeah hi, I need you to tell me what you're wearing.

What do you want me to be wearing, honey?

I'm paying for this shit.

You tell me.

I don't like you.

Where's the one I spoke to last night?

You have reached

the Seattle Bay Foster Care Programme.

All our case workers are busy right now but please do

leave a message and we will call you right back.

Yeah hi, this is Gracie Blake.

I need to speak to somebody about my daughter, Kayla.

She's staying with the Curtis family in Medicine Park.

I need to talk about my visitation times.

Can someone call me back please?

Thank you.

I was just wondering, do you do home visits?

What do you mean?

Would you come to my apartment?

No.

In a normal situation we'd be happy to spread

your payments, Miss Blake.

But you haven't paid us for three months,

so I'm afraid my hands are a little tied.

Look, I'm trying to do this right, okay?

I wanna get this stuff straight

but I don't have any money right now.

Well then I'm afraid

we'll need to cancel your contract.

I need this phone for my job.

Okay.

We will be prepared to give you one more month

to pay these arrears, Miss Blake, before termination.

Hello Gracie, it's Peter.

Who?

It's Peter.

We spoke yesterday.

Jesus Peter, hi.

How did you get this number?

I need to speak to you now.

It's urgent.

Okay.

I'm in Seattle.

What?

Why?

To see you.

Fuck Peter, I said I don't do personal visits.

I know, I know.

I need to see you, Gracie, in the flesh.

What would that cost me?

Look, how much have you brought?

Five grand.

I can give you more if you...

When do you want to do this?

Tonight.

Hello?

Hello?

This isn't very funny!

Hello!

Fuck.

What?

Hello?

Hello, Gracie.

Why, who is this?

It's me, it's Peter.

Peter, look I'm sorry I can't talk right now.

I have to...

You don't remember last night then?

What?

No.

No, why should I?

Look, what the fuck is going on?

I'm sorry it had to be a secret.

I didn't think you'd come on your own.

A fucking secret?

How the fuck did you get me here?

Just some chloroform, nothing dangerous.

Why, Peter?

It's a little hard to explain.

Yeah, you've locked me in a fucking animal cage.

I know.

I need to keep you there for a while.

Look, just don't panic, okay?

Oh, why though Peter?

What for?

Are you going to kill me?

I'm not going to kill you, no.

Nothing will happen if you don't call the police.

Don't worry.

So it's sex then.

Well, look, I don't know.

Okay, Peter, this is freaking me out.

If it's sex then just tell me and we can do it and I can go.

We can discuss this all very soon.

I've gotta go now, I've got a plane to catch.

Wait no, no, no please wait, wait.

What?

I have these pills I need to take,

and I've run out and I really need them.

What are they?

They're called um, divalproex.

I really need them.

I'll see what I can do, ah dival?

Yeah, D-I-V-A-L, thank you.

You're welcome.

How long do I need to stay here for?

Not long.

Look, there's enough food and water for a week.

And Gracie, you can have your phone.

Just don't call the police.

A fucking week?

Don't call the police.

They won't be able to track you there.

Okay.

So what am I supposed to do now?

Just wait.

Shit.

Fuck!

Fuck!

Could someone help me?

Hey you.

Hey honey, how's it going?

Yeah, okay.

Shit at work, unless I can keep up with these hours.

Boss got me on Tuesday night working and I really...

Eddy.

What?

I need to tell you something,

and I need you not to get pissed, okay?

Um, okay.

A client came to my apartment.

Jesus fucking Christ, Grey, why?

It doesn't matter.

It fucking does matter.

Did you have sex with him?

No.

I don't know.

You don't know.

Jesus, that's a new one.

I know, I know, and I'm sorry,

but you've got to listen to me.

Sorry, yeah.

But why, what now?

He drugged me.

What?

He drugged me and I don't know what happened last night.

Fuck.

He's got me locked in this kind of prison place.

Prison, where?

That's the thing, I don't know.

Is it in the city or...?

I don't know.

Who is this guy?

He's called Peter.

He's the new one I told you about.

Shit.

Have you called the cops?

No, I can't.

Well, he told me not to.

He said he's coming, so I'm just going to see what he wants.

Can you not get out?

No.

Why?

I'm chained up.

What?

Please, leave it to me.

And don't tell Mom.

I mean, she called earlier,

asking if you were with me.

Well, next time say I am.

Say I'm asleep or something.

Okay, I'll try.

I don't want to tell her about this shit.

It's fine, okay.

I'll see you tomorrow.

No, I'll come and find you.

I don't know where I am, Eddy.

Hey, Mom.

Hey, honey, how are you?

Yeah, I'm good.

How about you guys?

Oh, we're okay.

Tried to call you last night and you weren't there.

Tried Eddy, but he didn't know where you were either.

Mom, I'm 27 years old.

Taylor's band were playing at Stories, I was down there.

Oh.

So what are you up to today, honey?

Oh, not much.

I had that dream again last night, Mom.

You know, with the crying.

Oh, are you taking your pills?

Yeah.

I really miss her, Mom.

Oh, I know you do, dear.

We all do.

You what Dr. Meadows said though.

I know, but she doesn't know what it's like.
