The Leftovers

_

No, no, no. Causality.

Correlation. Everyone can show correlation.

Even fucking Denzinger can show correlation.

What is the cause, huh?

What's the cause?

I'm here for research.

I'm not putting my equipment through your fucking machine.

- Hello. - Hi.

Is this the home of Evangeline Murphy?

Who are you?

Gracias.

Hey!

- Nora Durst? - Yes.

Hello, my name is Dr. Joaquin Cuarto.

May I speak to you for a few minutes?

About what?

Um, may I ask when you moved into this house?

What?

Um, the records say you purchased it on the 21st.

But when did you actually take residence,

On the 21st or on the 22nd?

I don't remember. Why are you asking me that?

The girl next door disappeared on the 22nd.

Um, is that the day you moved in?

Did you make contact with her?

- What? - Evangeline Murphy.

Did you touch her at all on that day?

What is that thing?

May I ask were you in physical contact

With your husband and your children on October the 14th

At the moment of their departure?

Get the fuck off my porch.

This will just take a minute. If you'll just hold still.

- Get off my porch. - Please don't... Just hold still.

Get out of here!

I'm just trying to help you.

You okay?

I'm fine.

Good morning, Mary.

Hope you slept better than I did.

Would you like to visit Matt today?

You must miss him, huh?

_

- Hello? - Hello.

- Is this Nora Durst? - Yes.

Miss Durst, my name is Dr. Allison Hebert.

- How are you this morning? - I'm fine.

I believe my colleague Dr. Cuarto

Paid you a visit yesterday.

- Miss Durst? - Please don't call this number.

Morning.

Morning.

You okay?

I'm just tired. I didn't sleep great.

Go back to bed. I can feed Mary.

You sure?

Go. Sleep.

Is the baby awake?

- Not yet. - Okay.

Uncuff me?

Maybe in a minute.

If you cooperate.

And if I don't?

Then you will pay.

Mm-hmm.

What? Did I hurt you?

No, I just got a cramp in my leg.

Shit.

_

Babe.

Somebody threw a rock through our window.

What?

Somebody threw a rock through our window.

You slept through it?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah.

What do you think this is about?

What do you think this is about?

Wait, babe, where you going?

To get a broom and dustpan.

- Who is it? - It's him again.

Mr. Murphy, can I speak to you for one moment?

Don't answer it.

Oh, baby.

_

Morning.

Can I ask you a question?

- Is there a place... - Who are you?

- Sorry? - Who are you?

Oh, uh, George brevity.

I'm with the DSD,

The department of sudden departure.

Nora durst, northeast division.

I'm on leave.

Small world, huh?

- What branch? - Benefits. You?

Secondaries.

Oh, of course.

Do you know them? The Murphys?

Not well. We just moved in.

- Lucky you. - Lucky me?

I mean, it's hard to find a place here,

You know, since we verified.

What did you want to ask me?

Oh, is there a good place to get breakfast?

The tourist stuff is getting old.

Try Smitty's. There's no sign outside.

There's a green awning across from the guy on the pillar.

- Smitty's. Thanks. - Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Excuse me, Mrs. Murphy.

Can I talk to you for a minute? Mrs. Murphy.

Could I just talk with you a moment?

Mrs. Murphy.

Poor woman, huh?

It's horrible.

Erika.

Loretta. Emily.

We need you to talk john into talking to the DSD.

John isn't the one that doesn't want to talk to them, I am.

Why not?

We've talked to the police, we've talked to the FBI.

And they're the ones that are looking for our girls.

But they haven't found them.

The man from the DSD said that he could rule out...

Rule out what?

What questions did he ask that we haven't already been asked?

We're not supposed to say.

- We signed a... - nondisclosure agreement.

What are y'all wearing tonight?

To the fundraiser.

I'm wearing whatever I want.

Okay, well, then I'll see you tonight.

Emily, you smell like alcohol.

_

Order up.

Hey, you found it.

Yeah, the promised land.

Mind if I sit with you for a sec? I ordered some carryout.

Be my guest.

Forget the water.

This brisket's the miracle.

Mmm, barbecue is a religious experience down here.

- You're not from Texas? - DC.

Oh, I thought they'd send someone from regional.

You're living in the only municipality

With a population above 5,000 with no deeps.

Three girls lifted from here? They're not calling regional.

But they're gonna rule it unconfirmed, right?

Not gonna rule anything till your neighbors talk to me.

I administered the new questionnaire to the parents of the other girls.

None of the fraud flags popped.

There's a new questionnaire?

Uh-huh.

The algorithm came from the Japanese.

Getting some interesting results.

Can I see it?

You kidding me? They'd fire me.

They want me to sleep with this thing under my pillow.

I mean, if the questions got corrupted,

There'd be no way to confirm the secondary is the real deal.

Mm, the real deal.

The girl's Mercedes was found running

Like a foot just disappeared off the gas pedal.

Music still blasting.

All the personal effects are still inside the car.

Purses, phones.

No sign of any kind of struggle whatsoever.

No reason to run.

Everybody I've talked to around here says these are good girls.

Choir girls.

Three weeks gone and there's not a single sighting of them anywhere.

If the questionnaire says they lifted,

Maybe they lifted.

Can I ask you something stupid?

My favorite kind of question.

Have you ever heard of someone

Being responsible for another person's departure?

You mean the lensing thing?

Lensing?

You know, like a lens.

Like a kid taking a magnifying glass and frying ants with it.

The idea is that someone gives off

Ultraviolet rays or whatnot

Causing everyone around them to lift.

It was in that "scientific American" article they emailed us last month.

Can you forward that to me?

- Dr. Murphy? - Mm.

We need you in exam three.

Can somebody else take it?

It should probably be you.

I didn't do anything wrong.

I was just selling water.

How much?

Just a couple of bottles.

How much are you selling it for?

500 a milliliter.

The samples I took from the spring that drained are genuine,

So if people are willing to pay that much,

Then what did I do wrong?
