The Amityville Moon

Stay back!

Please stay back.

God, it's creepy down here.

Yeah, let's get out of here.

Where's that window?

Um, I think it's gotta be down here somewhere.

Wait a minute.

- Did you hear something? - Yeah. Okay, let's move.

I told you this shit is not right!

The other runaways?!

You know there are no runaways!

We need to go now!

Okay, the back window's usually open.

Oh!

- You okay? - Yeah.

Be careful!

Wait a minute.

All right, let's move.

Check to see if it's unlocked.

How did you know about this?

Mandi usually sneaks down here during group to smoke.

Hurry.

What are you doing? Someone will hear us.

It's stuck.

Stop!

- I think I have it. - Stop!

What's up?

I told you. I heard something.

Okay, listen to me. The faster you hand me that bag,

the quicker we can get the hell out of here and get help.

Suppose it's him.

Do you know what he would do?

We need help. Suppose he...

Hey! Hey! Karla.

Stop talking and climb up.

When we get outside we will figure out the plan.

Why are you taking those?

Pure Silver.

Cash it in at the pawn shop.

Once I bought a five-dollar silver tray at some garage sale.

Cashed in, scored $1,400.

How can you tell if it's pure?

If the magnet doesn't stick, it's pure.

Toss me the freaking bag and let's go.

How'd you know the magnet trick?

I used to be a thief.

Tricks of the trade.

No!

Jasmine.

Hey, girl. What are you doing here?

- Where's Lou Boy? - He's back there.

- Why? Is everything cool? - Yeah.

- You cool? - Yeah, thanks.

All right.

Look who the cat dragged in.

Look, just hang loose.

All right?

All of this will blow by in a minute.

You know, Captain Marcus has to do his whole

horse and pony show for the chief.

I didn't do anything wrong.

Robbie, you busted a man's face wide open!

He had it coming.

He was handcuffed for Christ's sake!

He was resisting arrest.

How in the hell was he resisting

when he was already locked in his cell?

- You're killing me over here! - I needed info.

You used excessive force when you didn't have to.

See what you don't understand,

is these people have rights too, Robbie.

Rights? This scumbag killed a mother

and her 14-year-old kid all over dope.

- You broke procedure! - Where were their rights?

Damn.

You just don't get it.

It was a hunch, you know. Most police work is.

Oh, for Christ's sake.

I get it, okay. I screwed up.

Look, I gotta get of here before this pharmacy closes.

But on another note,

I might have something for you.

Okay, great.

The suspension's killing me.

My, uh, my girl's birthday is coming up.

I was thinking about proposing.

Yeah, I don't about all that, but...

I just need you to prove something to me.

Just prove to me that I didn't stick my neck out for you.

Okay. Really?

Yeah, really.

So, effective tomorrow,

you're back to work.

Great.

Don't get too excited. It's only light duty.

Desk job?!

Until you're case comes through IAD.

This sounds like shit.

Well, all you gotta do

is pick up a couple runaways.

Alissa Nolan and Karla Montgomery.

- They escaped from... - You're kidding me?

No, I'm not.

Babysitting?

You ungrateful son of a...

Look, you just go find them,

take them back to where they belong,

to the halfway house.

Okay?

Take them to Father Peter.

Piece of cake, no issues.

Just book 'em and take 'em away.

Hello, how may I help you?

Hi, I'm Detective Kimble, I'm here to see Sister Ruth.

Yes, we've been expecting you.

I'm Father Michael. Why don't you follow me?

I don't like it either.

Budget and faculty issues have put this house

on a very short list to possibly merge with a state institution.

Shame.

All of this will be a memory if it ever happens.

How many inmates are here?

I mean residents. How many do you have?

Well, Detective, you wouldn't believe the work that's been put in

from the staff and the girls here.

Shame.

Candy, what are you doing with that box?

I see, but how many ladies are here on sight?

Sorry, I-I didn't mean to disturb your meeting.

Father Peter just asked me to drop this off in his office.

I'm sorry, you didn't answer me regarding

how many women and staff are usually on the grounds.

Just a handful of staff.

About 12 or so residents.

We feel keeping the residents at a minimum helps their focus.

No distractions.

The amount is less,

but it's absolutely more guidance to give.

I see Sister Ruth's been already telling you

about our little problem.

Father Peter, this is Detective...

Oh, Detective Robbie Kimble.

- Detective. - Nice to meet you, Father.

Yeah, the history of faith,

love and healing that we have here

is the reason that when our girls are released,

they are truly and utterly rehabilitated.

Detective Kimble.

Please, find our girls.

I will.

Oh, things we do before we find our calling.

Thank you, Sister Ruth.

Oh, what about security?

Security?

Besides the lockdown timer?

- Lockdown timer? - Yes.

Each night the lockdown timer is on

from 10:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m. the next morning.

Great, can I speak with the security patrol that handles that?

You're looking at her.

And there is no so-called security patrol.

Just the timer switch.

- Wait... - I'm afraid that's all we have.

So, you don't have security guards of any kind patrolling the grounds?!

Absolutely not.

That completely goes against what we stand for.

Some of these girls have criminal records.

You are absolutely right, Detective.

And those same girls have already served their time.

They come here to heal and to be trusted once more

before we let them back out in society.

I know the type who usually ends up here,

they're still societies worst.

St. Matthias, we have never had armed guards,

or security patrol, or whatever you say it is

that we need to have on our grounds.

Our program has worked wonders since 1914.

Ever since we opened the doors.

Father, Detective.

- Sister, could you do me a favor... - Yes?

...and please make sure that that box sees upstairs?

Yes, of course.

I'll make sure one of the girls retrieves it.

Thank you.

Nineteen-fourteen.

Didn't know this place was around then.

Yeah, yeah, the history of this place is just...

I swear, you just feel it in the walls, you know.

As a matter of fact, Father Thomas who actually founded our organization,

he took his motivation from another mission

that he had been a part of in San Diego.

They say that we get the motivation for, uh, for our bell tower.

I didn't know that.

Look at you.

- Can you help me with these? - Yeah.

Have you seen the detective? He's cute.

Meh, not my type.

Ladies, have you seen Sister Ruth?

I think she went to go see Sister Francis.

Thank you.
