Servant

Please.

Don't cry so much for mama, please.

Did you just draw a bath?

His face scrunches up when he cries. Look.

I know you've asked for some privacy,

but couldn't the cleaners at least come in?

Okay.

What if he's hungry?

...for mama, please.

-What if they're not feeding him? -Of course they're feeding him.

Hey, people don't steal babies to mistreat them.

Here, why don't you try? Come on, put the phone down.

Okay.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Hi.

-Hello. -She doesn't love him.

Hi.

They sent something!

What does it mean?

Actually, that was from me.

I ordered it a few weeks ago for the baptism.

Cute, huh?

People don't give space suit costumes for a baptism.

And what do they give?

A silver pendant with a little dying man on it?

Yeah, I'm the fucking weird one.

My stomach is tight.

It always happens when Jericho cries.

Why is he crying, Julian?

Your stomach feels tight because you haven't eaten in four days.

I can feel him.

You're just projecting your fears, okay?

He might be crying. He might be laughing.

Or he might be shitting in his diaper. There's no way for you to know.

You don't believe in anything.

You never did.

You know what you are, Julian?

You're an atheist.

Who wants to go to space?

Yes, you fucking do.

What are you making?

Caramel French toast. It's her favorite.

Yeah, when she was eight.

Will you take it up to her when it's ready?

Why can't you?

I don't know what to say anymore. I feel like I'm just making things worse.

This may be an embarrassing question.

What's your current cash flow?

For what?

I'm thinking a ransom demand might help reassure her.

Give her a little hope.

What should we ask for?

For a fake ransom we're never gonna collect,

we're never gonna pay?

Have at it. Twenty million.

We need to give Dorothy something realistic to reach for.

Have her value the jewelry.

As long as it keeps her occupied.

What do you say, like, 350, 250?

Don't be shy.

I think you should put this much effort into finding them before she does.

-You're burning. -What?

You--

Free yourself, brother.

The flesh.

Yes.

Release.

This pain is good.

...courageous.

Who's this?

-Sorry. Did I leave my keys in here? -Where have you been?

I was out front all night.

Julian told me to keep watch.

You cleaned up already?

The party. Any food left over? I'm starving.

What?

Zip me up, will you?

Sorry.

Are we going somewhere?

Yes. The studio called. They need me to go in.

You think that's a good idea?

Melanie's off sick, and they need someone to coanchor the six o'clock.

Maybe we should talk to Sean about this?

I don't need Sean's permission to do anything.

But Jericho.

Exactly. Jericho.

That's why I'm doing this.

Go in there.

Can you talk some sense into her?

-Not usually. -She thinks she's going in to work.

It's been four days, and I can't just lie here.

I need to reassure Jericho that everything is gonna be okay.

On TV?

I'm not gonna say anything I shouldn't.

But if they're watching the news,

maybe Jericho can have a little mommy time.

That's insane.

I'm coanchoring, so record from the beginning.

Okay, will do.

You out of your fucking mind? Why'd you let her leave?

We need her out of the house.

Where the fuck has he been?

Why you asking me?

Hey, where were you?

In the car, where you told me to be.

I'm gonna have to bill you for a full 12 hours.

This is so good.

I can't believe how hungry I am.

Do you have maple syrup?

I checked your car every day.

It never moved, and you were not in it.

Roscoe, what day is it?

Monday.

Roscoe, it's Friday.

No, it's not.

It's Friday?

My wife and daughter, they must be so worried. I need to call them--

Yeah, in a minute.

Cassie's flute recital. I missed it?

What's the last thing you remember, Roscoe?

What? I don't know.

I was in the car. It was right after the party.

This lady, she was standing in the street.

I thought she wanted help, but...

I don't know what happened after that.

I feel nauseous.

Get some water.

Do you believe him?

-I don't really know him that well. -You hired him.

And how many part-time private investigators did you recommend?

He's got 26 photos of the inside of his pocket.

There's a 12-second video. It may have caught audio.

Please.

Please make it stop.

There's no need to be afraid, Roscoe.

It's Leanne. Is that Leanne?

We're here to help you.

Stop.

Nothing bad is going to happen to you.

Why is he crying like that? What are they doing to him?

-They're breaking him. It's what cults do. -I don't want to be here.

Was that me?

You were there with Leanne.

Don't bullshit us.

Did she have the baby with her?

I didn't see anyone. I just woke up.

Don't make me take your teeth out, Roscoe.

-I'd like to see you try. -Wait. Just relax.

If you're gonna play games with us, just fuck the fuck off.

-Wait. Just wait. -We're not gonna get any sense out of him.

-He's been brainwashed or drugged. -Yeah, but he was there.

I can hear you, you know.

Maybe you saw something that could help us.

We just need to unlock it.

-You wanna know what happened, right? -Yeah.

What are you suggesting?

We get him drunk? Force a grenache down his neck, see if he talks?

We call Natalie.

Oh, no.

-No. -Yeah.

-Come on. -Over my dead body.

-Hi, honey. -Hello.

-Where is she? -Dorothy? She's at work.

Is that a good idea?

Probably not. I'll let Sean explain.

Sean?

We need you to hypnotize someone for us.

He may have seen something useful, but he's blocking it out.

Well, don't you have something to say?

What's this?

Every time I have a hypnosis appointment in the calendar, Julian mocks me.

-Not you. The people who you service. -Because he doesn't believe in hypnosis.

You're misquoting me, okay?
